Chao Cuo's tone was excited, his cheeks were full of beard, as if he wanted to fly, "The princes of the Seven Kingdoms are rebelling in the name of 'Qing Jun's side'!" Your Majesty should follow Emperor Gaozu's personal expedition, and in front of the people of the world, expose their lies, and the rebellion of the princes can be peaceful without a fight. ”

"I am not as familiar with ......the military as Emperor Gaozu," Liu Qi hesitated: "Besides, if I leave Chang'an, who will guard Chang'an?" ”

Chao Cuo replied loudly: "Your Majesty is only in the Chinese army, with Zhou Yafu as the forward, and it is okay if you are not familiar with military affairs. As for Chang'an, please rest assured that Your Majesty is willing to stay in Chang'an! ”

Liu Qi listened to it very unpleasantly, and made a mistake, you pushed me out to go to Chang'an by yourself, Doctor Chao, you really know how to pick a light burden!

Although he scolded Chao Wrong thousands of times in his heart, Liu Qi didn't show anything on his face, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense." The stakes are serious, and at tomorrow's meeting, let's discuss it again. ”

。

The next day's court meeting, as usual, was attended by the three princes and nine secretaries, and the lieutenant Zhou Yafu had already gone to the army, so he was absent. Liu Qi put forward the proposal of Chao Cuo's personal levy for discussion, but the ministers did not approve of it.

Prime Minister Tao Qing usually doesn't like to express his opinions, and at this time he also stood up and objected: "The minister thinks it's inappropriate." Times have changed, and the situation is different from when Gaozu founded the country. Back then, Emperor Xiaowen planned to personally conquer the Xiongnu, but didn't he fail in the end? The effect is very small, the risk is too great, and His Majesty should not risk taking the risk of taking it personally. ”

The court meeting broke up unhappily. After going down, the more Tao Qing thought about it, the more angry he became, "Chao Cuo is too bold!" He dared to instigate His Majesty to personally conquer and stay to guard Chang'an. The old man is the prime minister, before you, where do you put the old man! Where is Your Majesty! ’

Chao Cuo didn't know that he had committed a taboo, and he had to take the opportunity to kill the person he hated - Yuan An.

He found several discipline inspection officials from the Imperial History Mansion and instructed: "Yuan Ang has accepted bribes from Liu Bi, the king of Wu, to shield the king of Wu, saying that the king of Wu will not rebel, and now that the king of Wu has rebelled, Yuan Ang knows that he will not report it, and he should be arrested and interrogated." ”

The communiqué's personal vendetta is like this, Liu Bi was busy making money before, and Liu Qi had an unpleasant quarrel, not to the extent of rebellion, Yuan Ang is not a god, how can he predict that Liu Bi will rebel!

The subordinates guessed the wrong thoughts, and they were unwilling to help the leader deliberately rectify the person. A subordinate official said: "Now on the cusp, I'm afraid it's not good to do this, besides, Yuan Ang will not know in advance that King Wu is rebelling." ”

Chao Cuo hesitated, and then did not take action. There are no impermeable walls. Someone reported the news and told Yuan Ang what he had said. Yuan Ang was so frightened that he sweated out, "Chao wrong, you are too ruthless!" ”

Yuan Ang was in a hurry, and remembered that there was someone who could help. This person has also formed a bond with Chao Cuo, this person is also a celebrity in front of His Majesty, this person is Dou Ying.

Yuan Ang went to Dou Ying overnight to discuss countermeasures. Coincidentally, Dou Ying also served as the state minister of Liu Bi, the king of Wu. The lips and teeth were cold, and Dou Ying was startled when she heard it. In order to save Yuan An, in order not to make excuses to pit himself, Dou Ying decided to get rid of Chao Cuo! The two of them discussed a plan.

Dou Ying entered the palace and asked Liu Qi to summon Yuan An. Coincidentally, Liu Qi was discussing the allocation of military rations with Chao Cuo, and when he heard that Yuan Ang asked to see him, he hurriedly summoned him.

It's not that enemies don't get together! Yuan Ang entered the hall and looked at Chao Cuo, and each other's eyes were meaningful.

Yuan Ang had been the minister of the kingdom of Wu, Liu Qi wanted to hear his opinion, and asked: "You used to be the minister of Wu Guo, and now Wu Chu has rebelled, what do you think?" ”

Yuan Ang replied categorically: "Your Majesty don't worry, you will definitely be able to defeat King Wu!" ”
