Liu Feng does not pity and sympathize with the emperor in front of him, but at the end of his life, even his mother and wife are calculating his own emperor, and what should be pitiful and sympathetic is the thousands of ordinary people who are struggling on the death line because of the emperor's mediocrity and incompetence.

It is precisely because of Liu Hong's inaction that he only blindly took care of himself and enjoyed himself, and openly sold his official beard, which led to the decline of the government and the rule of officials, and the Eastern Han Empire inevitably went into decline. It was also under the connivance of Liu Hong that the eunuchs acted recklessly, extorted money from the people, wantonly looted the people's fat and ointment, and used non-human people in the locality, and also launched an unprecedented and tragic second party disaster, which stimulated the contradictions between the scholar class and the eunuchs, caused a great split in the government, and directly led to the fall of the Eastern Han Empire......

It can be said that His Majesty the Emperor has not done a single thing that a qualified emperor should do since the day he ascended the throne, and he does not deserve sympathy! Don't say that the bird is dying, its song is also mourning, and the man is dying, and its words are good. But why did you go earlier? Debauchery and decadence, the young wine has emptied his body excessively, and he has to mourn before he dies, what good is it!

Liu Feng also pretended not to understand Liu Hong's self-talk, and lowered his head and did not talk. Liu Wei was still a little afraid, and he didn't dare to go up in front of Liu Hong's couch, Liu Xie didn't have so many scruples, he took Liu Wei's hand and climbed up, and called softly: "Father? ”

Liu Hong gasped for a while, and Zhang Rang wiped the hot sweat off his head, he was finally a high emperor, such sadness only stayed for a few breaths, and then he returned to the majesty and arrogance of the emperor, glanced at Liu Feng, and laughed: "Liu Feng, you are honest, in your eyes, I am the emperor, is it a failure?" ”

Liu Feng glanced at Brother Liu Wei, lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty's merits and demerits will be commented on by the descendants of freedom." Weichen doesn't know how to learn, and he doesn't dare to talk about it. ”

"Hahaha!" Liu Hong's eyes glowed with magnificent light, and he laughed miserably, "Later generations commented? Posterity commented? ......" muttered a few times, a lonely smile appeared on his face, "Then you say, after a hundred years, what kind of nickname will future generations give me?" ”

Spirit! Liu Feng moved his lips and glanced at the emperor who was struggling on the line of death, and the word almost blurted out, but he was silent and hung his head silently. If you don't become famous and famous, you can't damage your soul, the emperor in front of you may be the last king in history to be called evil by his own courtiers, someone else, or he was knocked down, or he was the king of the country, and Liu Hong, until the moment he died, he was still the king of a country! After Liu Hong's death, Han Zuo continued to be in the hands of his sons for thirty years.

Seeing that Liu Feng was silent and did not answer, Liu Hong waved his hand weakly, and said with a miserable smile: "That's it, I understand, you don't want to say it, and I don't want you to say it." ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, how can you say these discouraged words? Scare the old slave, Your Majesty! Seeing that Liu Hong couldn't get rid of the word "death" when he was going around and around, he opened his mouth and lay down under Liu Hong's feet, and cried out with a "wow".

"Hahaha, don't say it, don't say it." Liu Hong waved his hand weakly, looked at Liu Feng, who was silent, and suddenly smiled faintly: "Liu Feng, do you know why I specially kept you and made you the Marquis of Zhu Xu?" ”

Liu Feng raised his head, indeed, he was also very confused about this sudden marquis, or the first rank among the marquis.

The emperor didn't seem to have to answer Liu Feng, gritted his teeth and said: "After all, you are a clan, I won't let another Wang Mang appear in the Han Dynasty!" After a pause, his expression was correct, and it seemed that Liu Wei glanced at him, shook his head in disappointment, and said: "Bian'er, your uncle's wings are full, I can't move you, you have to promise me not to hurt your brother!" ”

For many years, this is the first time that Liu Hong has spoken to Liu Wei in this tone, Liu Wei's face turned pale, and his two lips trembled for a long time, but he couldn't speak for a day.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that the prince will not harm His Royal Highness the Second Prince!" Liu Feng knelt down and pulled the corner of Liu Wei's pants.

Liu Wei stood unsteadily, and with a bend of his knees, he also knelt down, bowed his head to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Erchen, Erchen will ensure that his younger brother is fine, nothing ......" said such a simple sentence, but it was like climbing through thousands of mountains and rivers, exhausting Liu Bian's last strength, and he fell to the ground softly, and the atmosphere did not dare to let go. Liu Wei is cowardly and timid, and he is young, and he still can't understand many things, but he can still understand the dispute between Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong, and the hatred of Empress He and He Jin towards Liu Xie is also obvious.

Liu Hong smiled dryly, smiled helplessly, took a sip of the water handed by Zhang Rang, slowly breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Liu Feng, today's situation is the same as the chaos of Zhulu when Emperor Hui was in the past, and it is also similar to the rebellion of Wang Mang when Emperor Wai Emperor Ping, in the past few years, I have released all the talented people in the clan, Liu Yu went to Youzhou, Liu Yan went to Yizhou, your father Liu Xuande has lower qualifications, I let him be the prime minister of Zhongshan, and he can be my uncle of the Han Dynasty." ”

As he spoke, Liu Hong pointed to Liu Feng, the second prince, and said with anticipation: "Liu Feng, I have named you the Marquis of Zhu Xu, and I will entrust you with the future, you will skip others, Lu Zhizhong is commendable, and he is also optimistic about you." As long as you don't rebel, He Jin can't help you, and Dong Chong can't do anything to you, you, understand? ”

Liu Feng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, today is different from the past, although Yizhou is rich and Youzhou is strong, but in remote places, distant water can't save the thirst." Weichen is just a yellow-mouthed child, isolated in Beijing, but fortunately he has the protection of His Majesty in all directions. Once Your Majesty is abandoned, if the general and the general want to deal with Weichen, they only need to follow the story of Zhuzhu and Nie Zheng, so why bother to convict and punish the minister? ”

Liu Hong was stunned when he heard this, his face became even more gloomy, and he was speechless for a while. As an emperor, Liu Hong's prestige is there, but his means are worse, or he will not have a Empress He Jin He on the left, a Empress Dowager Dong Zhong on the right, and the courtiers are centrifuged, so that there is no cronies available around him except for the unpopular eunuchs? Seeing that his time was running out, he put two capable clans outside to serve as state pastors, and recruited a yellow-mouthed son into Beijing, and he really thought that he had a strong outside and a support inside, and everything was worry-free.

Hearing Liu Feng's words, a hint of joy flashed in Zhang Rang's eyes, and he hurriedly kowtowed to Liu Hongyi, and said: "Your Majesty, according to the old slave's opinion, if you order Zhu Xuhou to lead an army and return to the tent of Jian Hou, in this way, if there is an emergency, you can also help." ”

Liu Hong's trust in Zhang Rang was beyond measure, and after hearing Zhang Rang's words, he turned his worries into joy, stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, good, Zhang Changshi's method is good, Liu Feng, you have led the army in Zhongshan before, I will give you an army, you may be able to keep my son worry-free?" ”
