After that, within a few days, the edict of the Son of Heaven Liu Qi cut his county was passed on to the state of Chu by the confessor, and Liu Wu, the king of Chu, was both angry and frightened when he received the edict in his hand.

Since Liu Rong proposed to divide the Chu State into two, he has been very dissatisfied with the imperial court, and now he has cut the country to a county, how can Liu Wu not be angry. Of course, as soon as the anger passed, only heart palpitations remained, and I was afraid that the imperial court would still have a backhand to arrest him and return to Beijing for the crime of great disrespect.

Soon after, this matter spread all over the world, and Wu Guo, which was close to Chu State, naturally received the news, Liu Bi is now very worried, in a year, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, has cut off six counties in Jiaoxi State, one county in Chu State, and King Zhao's war horses have all been removed by the imperial court.

The reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, how could Liu Bi not know that if he continues to cut the domain like this, there will be a day when he will cut the Wu country.

At this time, Liu Weizhi's thoughts were almost the same as those of Liu Wu, the king of Chu, and he was afraid that the imperial court would suddenly cut down the Wu State and would not be able to deal with it.

.....................................................................

Just when Liu Bi was panicking, Dr. Wu Guozhong Ying Gao heard the news and immediately entered Guangling Palace to see Liu Bi.

As soon as he saw Liu Bi, he immediately said: "King, now the imperial court first sharpens Jiaoxi and then cuts Chu, the meaning is self-evident. If the imperial court comes to cut down my Wu country, the king should deal with it as soon as possible."

When Liu Bi heard this, he sighed: "The widow also knows what Liu Qi kid means, but with the power of my Wu country, if it is a matter, how can I defeat the imperial court."

But seeing this, he should say: "The king has forgotten that at this time, the dissatisfaction with the court is not only my Wu country, the princes of the world have suffered from the court for a long time, the king is the son and nephew of Emperor Gao, and the uncle of today's son, if he raises his arms and shouts, it must be the response of the world." When the time comes, form an alliance with the nations and raise troops together, and the world will be captured by the king."

Hearing this, Liu Bi naturally laughed, and asked: "Aiqing is here, but there is a plan to dedicate it to the widow."

"The king is wise, and the people who hate the court the most at this time are naturally the king of Chu and the king of Jiaoxi. The king of Chu is friendly with you, and his subordinates are willing to go to the state of Chu on behalf of the king and form an alliance with the king of Chu.

In and is the king of Jiaoxi, when the country of Qi was divided into seven, such as the kings of Qi are all brothers, the king of Jiaoxi Liu Wei this person is the most domineering and good at fighting among his brothers, if the king can form an alliance with the king of Jiaoxi, the kings of Qi will be forced by it, and then the soldiers of the ten kingdoms of the princes will be able to defeat the court.

What does the king think of this minister's foolish opinion?"

Liu Bi paced in the hall for a while, stroked his beard and said: "Doctor Zhong's strategy is very appropriate, the king of Chu has been friends with the widow for many years, and Doctor Zhong will definitely be able to persuade him." It's just that the king of Jiaoxi thinks very highly of himself, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve it."

But when he saw that Ying Gao smiled: "The king doesn't have to worry, although the king of Jiaoxi is arrogant, but he lures him with profit, and no one in the world can resist it." And the king is the longest among the kings of the Liu family, and he is the sage king praised by the world.

Liu Bi laughed: "When the matter is completed, the widow will be crowned the middle doctor as the marquis of ten thousand households!" ”。

Ying Gao's praise made Liu Bi, the king of Wu, indeed a little fluttering, as if he was sitting in the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace at this time, and now Liu Qi, the son of heaven, has become a prisoner of his Liu Bi......

…………………………………………………………………………

The next day, Dr. Ying Gao, the doctor of Wu Guozhong, led a few soldiers and took a boat across the Huai River to Chu.

At this time, in the state of Chu, the king of Chu Liu Wu was in his palace, and Zhang Shang, the prime minister of the state of Chu, and his wife Yue Yiwu, Liu Wu said: "The two Aiqing know that the Son of Heaven has issued an edict to cut off the Donghai County of my Chu country, and the widow is afraid that the court will not give up, so how can I do it?" ”。

Zhang Shang and Yue Yiwu were the favored vassals of Liu Wu's father, Liu Ying, the king of Chuyi, but they were also loyal to the imperial court.

Hearing Liu Wu say this, Zhang Shangyan said: "The king does not need to be so alarmed, the edict of the Son of Heaven said that as long as the king can correct the mistakes of the sun, he will not punish the king again."

And Yue Yiwu on the side couldn't help but nod his head when he heard this......

Looking at the two old scholars in front of him, Liu Wu was also depressed, his father loved poetry and poetry the most, and the ministers left behind for him were all Confucian scholars, but in Liu Wu's eyes, such people were all elm heads, and there were only those poems and songs in his eyes, loyal and patriotic. Thinking of this, Liu Wu waved his hand and ordered the two old scholars to leave the hall.

Liu Wu's father Liu Ying and his grandfather Liu Jiao, the king of Chu Yuan, are both world-famous Confucian masters, when Liu Rongzhi's great-grandfather Liu Bang rebelled, he took his younger brother Liu Jiao with him and trusted him very much, and later divided the princes surnamed Liu, and also divided Liu Jiao to the Chu land with a very good location, so that he led the three counties of Chu and 54 cities.

Because Liu Jiao learned Confucianism, so since the beginning of Liu Jiao, the style of Confucianism in Chu was prosperous, and many Confucian scholars from all over the world came to the king of Chu, and the good Confucian phoenix in Chu was better than that of Qilu.

Liu Jiao's son Liu Yingke and his father are generally good Confucian, because of his good name, Liu Rong's grandfather Emperor Xiaowen once summoned Liu Yingke into Chang'an as the Zongzheng, to manage the affairs of Liu's grandmaster, but unfortunately Liu Yingke is not fake, succeeded to the throne of Chu King only a few years before he died, but the throne of Chu passed to Liu Wu, Liu Wu is a strong and cruel personality, arrogant and lascivious......................

....................................................................

The next day, the ship loaded with a warehouse of gold and jade arrived at Pengcheng, the capital of the Chu State, and the person on the boat was naturally Ying Gao, the doctor of the Chu State, as soon as he approached the riverbank, Ying Gao ordered his men to unload all the gold and jade on the ship, and he himself was in a hurry to go to the palace of the king of Chu.

As soon as he heard that the attendant told Dr. Wu Guozhong to ask for a meeting outside the palace, Liu Wu was also very surprised, and said in his heart: What did Liu Bi do when he sent someone to my Chu State at this time?

Since he came here, he couldn't help but see it, so he ordered his attendants to find him in the palace. As soon as Ying Gao saw Liu Wu, he smiled and said: "The foreign minister has seen the king of Chu, and I, the king of Wu, heard that the emperor of heaven issued an edict to cut down the fief of your king of Chu, a county, and the king felt wronged, so he sent his ministers to visit the king."

After speaking, he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and said, "This is a gift from my King Wu to you."

Hearing this, Liu Wu was upset for a while, and took the bamboo slip in his hand and read it with some displeasure: "When did your king Wu have such a good heart and take out so much gold and jade to give to this king."

''How can the king say this, I, King Wu, have always been friendly with you, and only when I heard of what happened to you in recent days did I order my ministers to visit you with gold and jade.''

Seeing that Liu Wu's face improved slightly, he said, "It's just that I, King Wu, also have a big matter to ask you."

Liu Wu laughed when he heard this, put the bamboo slip in his hand on the bookcase, and said: "No one in the world knows, you Wu Guo is rich in the world, and half of the copper coins circulating in the world are from your Wu country's hands, how can the king of Wu have something to ask for a widow."

.......................................................

''The king, do you know why the imperial court has frequently issued edicts to cut the county recently? However, the fiefdoms of the princes and kings were given by Emperor Gao, and even today's son cannot cut them arbitrarily, this is all because of the traitorous ministers in the court, so it will be so! ”。

Hearing this, Liu Wucai asked again: "Oh? I don't know who the traitor you speak of is? ”。

Ying Gao immediately became excited, and said: "That is the current ranking of the third prince of the imperial history of the doctor Chao wrong, as the teacher of the Son of Heaven, but he does not consider the common people in the world, and speaks to the Son of Heaven all day long, so the fief of the king will be cut off a county."

Liu Wu was stubborn and self-serving, and when he heard this, he was naturally furious, "The widow can't wait to eat his flesh!" ”。

Seeing that the king of Chu was furious, Ying Gao was very happy in his heart.

Now that the foreshadowing is complete, you can get to the point right away......

I saw Ying Gao say with a sad look: "King Wu has been unable to visit the Son of Heaven in the court for many years because of his physical illness, and now I have heard that Chao Wrong wants to cut the fief of Wu to the Son of Heaven."

However, the king is guilty of the crime of great disrespect, and now although he has cut down Donghai County as a punishment, I am afraid that Nachao will not let the king of Chu go because of this."

Ying Gao's words pointed to the sore spot in the heart of Liu Wu, the king of Chu, since he received the edict, he couldn't sleep and eat, what are you afraid of? It's not when the imperial court will condemn again, and then it will be in a different place..................

"Do you have any plan to turn this king around?"

looked at Liu Wu, the king of Chu in front of him, and finally got into the trap.

Ying Gao immediately bowed and asked, "King, do you know why Emperor Gao wanted to eradicate the princes and kings with different surnames back then, and swore an oath on a white horse, not the Liu family, but the king, and the world will attack him?" ”。

Liu Wu said disdainfully: "Joke! How could the widow not know that Emperor Gao was far-sighted, because the princes and kings of the opposite sex frequently rebelled, Emperor Gao would crown the kings of the same surname as my Liu family, so as to defend the clan and stabilize the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty."

Hearing this, Ying Gao immediately patted his ass and said: The king of Chu is really smart, and the ministers are very admired.

Just when Liu Wu was secretly happy, he immediately changed his words and knelt down and said: "The king is high! At this time, it was the time when the king Kuang supported the Han family, and no one in the world knew the three generations of virtuous monarchs of the Chu State. Now that the court has a minister, I, King Wu, am willing to work with King Wu to eliminate the traitors, and the Qing monarch is on the side of the Han Dynasty!! ”。

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and suddenly there was a death-like silence above the main hall of the Chu King's Palace.

And Liu Wu, the king of Chu, couldn't say a word......

Liu Wu never thought that this Ying Gao would dare to speak like this, let alone that Liu Wei, the king of Wu, really intended to rebel.
