Liu Yi resolutely refused to be the emperor's younger brother before, but this time he was said to be a rebellion, how suspicious is this matter, if he can rightfully ascend the throne as the emperor, who will take such an unknown road ahead, and it is possible to take the road of his life?

But what Liu Cang handed Liu Cong was the testimony jointly written by more than a dozen nobles in Beijing, and they spoke in the same tone and jointly denounced Liu Yi for his rebellion, and these dozen or so people were all people who had a good relationship with Liu Yi, so it was obviously impossible to make false accusations.

Liu Cong and Liu Yao glanced at each other, and both of them felt that this matter was unusual, so they called Liu Cang in to inquire in detail. After Liu Cang saluted, he was not timid in the face of Liu Cong's questioning, and said bluntly: "Erchen also learned about this by accident, and the Sixth Emperor Uncle secretly arranged it for a long time, and he will do it when the time is ripe." Originally, the ministers also did not believe it, but some of the ministers who were able to make friends with the emperor's uncle and were co-opted did not really rebel, but they were forced to do so, so they had nowhere to ask for help, so they risked their lives to find the son's mansion and handed over this testimony to the son. ”

Liu Cong looked at the testimony again, there were more than a dozen bloody handprints on this testimony, which showed that it was not false, but he just didn't understand why, why couldn't Liu Yi justifiably be the emperor's younger brother, and then ascend the throne as the emperor, so impatient?

"It's because of the relationship between the sons." Liu Cang said: "Erchen is the eldest son of his father and emperor, and he is the rightful heir in the eyes of the outside world, if he becomes this prince, then what should he do with his son?" It won't be pleasing to me if I want to reuse him, but if I kill him, it will be true, so it's better to just take the throne and kill us all together. ”

This seems to be no problem, but in fact, he can't help but scrutinize, he is afraid that he will kill Liu Cang and make the truth, isn't he afraid of plotting to usurp the throne? Liu Conghu glanced at Liu Cang suspiciously, and said, "It's too late today, you can think about it, and let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow?" Liu Cang was shocked and said, "Father, at this time, Uncle Huang is afraid that he already knows that his matter has been leaked, and he doesn't know what to do when he jumps over the wall in a hurry?" If you don't take him down in one go, I'm afraid you'll lose the opportunity. If he had done it tonight, wouldn't his father have waited until tomorrow to give him a better chance of winning? ”

Liu Cong looked at Liu Yao with some hesitation, Liu Yao was also a little puzzled, if Liu Yi wanted to do it, yesterday's celebration banquet should be the best opportunity, but nothing happened yesterday, if it was because Liu Yi was not ready, then he would not get any benefit from doing it in a hurry today.

Liu Yao glanced at Liu Cong, only to see that his eyes were full of anxiety, and he hated to immediately arrest Liu Yi and correct him on the spot, Liu Yao had a bad feeling in his heart, he looked at Liu Cong again, and saw that Liu Cong was also looking at his son with a distrustful face, I am afraid that in his heart, this Liu Can's words are not worth believing. Sure enough, did Liu Cang attack his own uncle for his position as the prince? Liu Yao didn't want to believe this speculation, and he couldn't believe it.

"Immediately," Liu Cong opened his mouth with difficulty: "Arrest Liu Yi and arrest him alive." ”

Liu Cang immediately laughed, turned around and ran out.

"Fourth brother," Liu Yao said anxiously, "Sixth brother won't be ......"

"I know, I know what kind of character the sixth child has, there are too many doubts in this matter, but one thing is certain, someone has taken advantage of Liu Cang, and it will definitely be unfavorable to the sixth child, arrest him, maybe he can save his life." Saying that, he said to Liu Yao: "This matter is handed over to you, be sure to find out what is going on, and the person behind the scenes must also be found out, and the evidence is sufficient, I will not spare this person." ”

Liu Yao took the order and left.

But things did not develop in the direction that Liu Cong wanted, and before dawn, he received a report from Liu Cang, and Liu Yi committed suicide in fear of crime. How is this possible? Isn't it too contradictory for a person who keeps saying that he wants to rebel and seize the throne commits suicide in fear of crime before he can do it?

But Liu Cang insisted that Liu Yi committed suicide in fear of crime, saying that when they arrived at his mansion, they saw the door of Liu Yi's study closed, and when they entered, they saw Liu Yi lying on the bookcase, with black blood stains on the side of his mouth, and he was already out of breath. Liu Cong asked the loyal servants around Liu Yi, and got the same statement, Liu Yi did commit suicide.

"Father, how should this matter be handled?" Liu Cang asked.

Liu Cong looked at Liu Cang in a daze, sighed weakly for a while, and said, "Since everyone is dead, I don't want to pursue it too much, so I cut his title and bury it." ”

"Yes." Liu Cang couldn't hide the joy on his face and retired and left. I love eBooks

Liu Cong's head hurt again, he lay down tiredly, his heart was in turmoil, what he hated most in his life was the wall of his brothers, the tragedy of the Jin Dynasty was always in his heart, he had always been very good to his brothers, and he had been reminding himself and reminding future generations, no matter what, only by uniting the descendants of the Liu family could it be possible to dominate the world and establish a powerful dynasty. The Han Dynasty was only established for a few years, and these people were carried away by power, so they were about to follow in the footsteps of the Jin Dynasty?

The news of Liu Yi's suicide caused an uproar in the court, this prince has always been low-key and does not like to make friends, so he has a good reputation in the court, and many generals respect him as a person, plus Liu Yi has the title of "Da Shan Yu", and the Di and Qiang nobles in Pingyang Jingzhong are under his control, so when Liu Cong intends to pass the throne to Liu Yi, many people are quite supportive. But Liu Yi didn't accept the position of the prince, but he also lost his life because of this incident, and the courtiers were not happy, and they played one after another, demanding that Liu Yi be returned to his posthumous innocence.

Liu Cong was difficult to do, so he had to avoid talking about this matter, and the courtiers had nowhere to vent their dissatisfaction, so they pointed the finger at Liu Can, but Liu Cong is Liu Cong's eldest son, and the rumored crown prince has been set up, in the end, the status is noble, everyone is dissatisfied with him, but they dare not question it face to face, so they turned the finger to the Jin family behind him, and the Jin family is now in charge of Liu Can's father-in-law Jin Zhun.

Then there was a golden purple Guanglu doctor Wang Yan scolded: "The people who destroyed the emperor and Han are your uncles and Jin Zhun, I will definitely tell the first emperor about your evil deeds, and wait for the first emperor to take your dog's life underground." ”

Jin Zhun was scolded but disagreed, and said: "There is conclusive evidence that the king of Hanoi arrested Liu Yi, and the order to cut Liu Yi is also a holy decree issued by His Majesty, how can you scold me for messing with the country?" ”

An understatement picked himself cleanly, and the minister Cui Yizhi also scolded: "Jin Zhun you are arrogant and reckless, compared to the national disaster, since you kill others, others will definitely kill you." You wait, it won't be long before it's your turn. ”

Jin Zhun was furious when he heard this, and immediately played Liu Cong to ask for the execution of the two, Liu Cong was noisy in the court, and he was upset for a while, and immediately let the internal guard army take down Wang Yan and Cui Yizhi, and ordered Jin Zhun to be beheaded, and three days later, these two people died in front of Jin Zhun.

Jin Zhun was quite proud, so he became even more arrogant, and others dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.

However, Liu Yi's death still caused dissatisfaction among the Di and Qiang tribes, and the consequence was that the two tribes rebelled more than 100,000 people, and Liu Cong had to make Jin Zhun the general of the cavalry and suppress the rebels.

Liu Cong was annoyed by this mess, and headaches became more and more frequent, which made him feel bad, and his temper became bigger and bigger day by day, and in the end, everyone inside and outside the palace was in danger, and Pingyang City was also a mess, as if it was just a moment, and the pride and ambition of the whole country to unify the world were gone, and the generals were discouraged, and the Han Dynasty suddenly languished.

Liu Yao finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter after several visits, and it was indeed Liu Cang's dissatisfaction with Liu Cong's practice of appointing Liu Yi as the emperor's younger brother, although Liu Yi refused, but he was still unstable in his heart, for fear that Liu Cong would insist on giving up the throne to others if he didn't have a clear mind. Liu Cang was just dissatisfied and didn't want to do anything, he told the Jin family about the dissatisfaction in his heart, and the Jin family told her father in turn.

Jin Zhunqi was extremely ambitious, and he thought that he could control the power of the court by being the queen's sister, but his sister didn't ask about the affairs of the court at all, and repeatedly told him to keep to himself, he was unwilling, so he set his sights on Liu Cang. Liu Cang is indeed kind, but the emperor is most afraid of kindness and soft-heartedness, as long as he moves his mind a little, he is not afraid that he will not be moved, so a conspiracy to frame Liu Yi was born.

They first arrested more than a dozen nobles of the two ethnic groups in Beijing who were friends with Liu Yi, hung them in the air, and performed all kinds of torture, forcing them to recruit Liu Yi's "fact of rebellion", and then annihilated him in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect Liu Yi to be much more backbone than he thought, and without waiting for him to arrest someone, he wrote a confession and then committed suicide by taking medicine, of course, the confession did not fall into Liu Cong's hands.

After Liu Cong knew the truth of the matter, he was silent for a long time, and finally said a sentence: "That's it." ”

Liu Cong doesn't plan to pursue it, Liu Yi is dead, only Liu Cang can inherit the throne, and the rest of his sons are not as good as Liu Cang, in fact, he has long known that this matter has nothing to do with Liu Yi, most of it is Liu Cang who has been used, but now, what can he do if he doesn't keep his son? What should we do in this world?

"Ah Yao," Liu Cong said tiredly, "this is much more difficult to govern than to govern the country. ”

"Fourth brother, don't worry, there is me, no matter what, I won't let Jin Zhun take advantage of it." Liu Yao said.

Liu Cong shook his head and said: "No, you not only want to let him take advantage of it, but also let him continue to make waves, now Liu Cang trusts him too much, once we do something to him, it will only make Liu Cang drift away from us, which is even more in Jin Zhun's plan." For now, let's offer Jin Zhun until he shows his fox tail. ”

Liu Yao instantly understood what Liu Cong meant, because he killed the minister in vain, he had misunderstood the fourth brother, and now it seems that he pities the hearts of parents all over the world. Liu Yao lowered his head and said, "Brother Chen knows." ”
