Chapter 446: Liu Heng is dead, and the crown prince is abolished

"Your Majesty's dragon body has not recovered, and you still need to recuperate, don't work too hard and get angry!" Diagnosed with Liu Yuan again, and before retreating, Sun Miao reminded him carefully. He just did his duty, and he didn't listen, in Liu Yuan.

"Your Majesty!" Not long after Sun Miao retreated, Zhang Rang hurriedly entered, his steps were flustered, he stumbled a little, and ran to Liu Yuan's couch in broken steps, and said very nervously: "King Wudu committed suicide in prison!" ”

"Oh." Hearing the news, Liu Yuan only responded lightly.

"What?" Immediately realized that something was wrong, sat up directly, turned his head to look at Zhang Rang angrily, and shouted: "What's going on over there?" Didn't I say that it would be guarded closely? ”

"The people below came to report, the king of Wudu was bent on death, and the guards didn't notice it for a while, so ......" Zhang Rang explained that he himself was a little unable to speak.

"Behead all the people who guard Yuanheng!" Liu Yuan shouted angrily outside.

Then he got up, and wanted to go to the edict, but when he landed on his feet, he sat down slowly and lay down on the couch. The expression on his face is very complicated, with both unbearable and faint relaxation.

"Put his body in the coffin and send it back to the palace!"

"No!"

"Your Majesty, before the King of Wudu committed suicide...... The crown prince once visited the imperial prison! Gritting his teeth, Zhang Rang still buried his head in his heart and reported to Liu Yuan.

Sooner or later, Liu Yuan would know about this, and he didn't dare to hide it at all.

Liu Yuan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and even though Zhang Rang was mentally prepared, he was still startled and lowered his head again.

"I'm tired, you stand down!" After a long time, Liu Yuan turned over very slowly, turning his back to Zhang Rang.

Secretly relieved, Zhang Rang retreated.

After half a month, Liu Heng's rebellion subsided. But the impact of Liu Heng and Liu Qiu's deaths has far-reaching effects, even if Chang'an is cleaned up, there are few people who talk about this matter in secret. Not only the small people in the market, but also those official eunuchs, there are also many people secretly talking about it.

"Tiger poison does not eat children", and Liu Yuan's death of Liu Heng is even more famous as a tyrant of birds and beasts. In addition to Liu Yuan's brutal thirst for murder, which has always been criticized, after killing and tyrannizing his mother, he added two more items: killing his brother and harming his son.

Liu Yuan is about to integrate all the achievements of "Ruthless and Desperate"!

Xia Guomin has a group of "spies" such as internal guards and black-clothed guards, no matter what is wantonly abused, but the Kwantung countries, the arrangement of Liu Yuan is going to be lively again.

All the traitors are small, Liu Yuan did not choose to kill them all after all, and he was more "merciful". The women were reduced to prostitutes, the men of appropriate age were sent to Hanzhong as coolies, and the rest were all reduced to slaves and sold into slavery.

Liu Qiu's family, more than 100 people, up to the princess, and the subordinates, were all beheaded. More than 500 people were implicated in the crime, and except for a few in Guanzhong, the "remnants" were able to escape and all of them were destroyed. The remnant also vanished, or fled in the hills and forests, or in the mountains, or fled to other countries. Perhaps, in ten years, there will be a bloody "revenge" story in Great Xia.

On the contrary, it is Liu Heng's wife and family, which are a little difficult to deal with. Many courtiers are on the table, and even the king of Wudu has subdued the law, how can he survive one of them. Liu Yuan thought about it for a long time before making a decision, demoting all Liu Heng's wives and concubines to concubines and placing them in Shanglin Yuan to reel silk for a living.

His son Liu Chang is Liu Heng's only son, how can he also be the emperor's grandson, and now he is only five or six years old and a child, Liu Yuan still can't be ruthless. He didn't blink his eyes at Liu Qiu's extermination, but the handling of many things does vary from person to person.

In the north of the gate of Weiyang Palace, on the top of the tower that is more than 20 zhang high, Liu Yuan looked at the scenery of Chang'an a little melancholy, and was a little distracted. There was an old man with crane hair and a childish face standing beside him, and Jiang He, the eunuch of Taishi. This person has been in Xia for more than 20 years, and he has always shown himself as a "god stick" in Daxia.

After being a waiter in the Ministry of Rites for a period of time, he found that it was not suitable, and finally was assigned by Liu Yuan to go back to his old profession, observe the stars, calculate the solar terms, and improve the summer calendar, which has been nearly ten years. Whenever Liu Yuan is depressed, he likes to find this magic stick to chat, listen to his lecture on "Taoism and Nature", and solve the problem.

"Jiang He, no one else dares to tell me the truth! You tell me honestly, how is Yuan Heng? The wind is blowing a lot, and it's coming, Liu Yuan stared at Jiang He.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wudu, Your Majesty!" After being silent for a while, Jiang He gave his evaluation.

Liu Yuan's face did not change, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and then it turned into a thick sigh, which went away with the wind and drifted between heaven and earth.

......

In October of the twelfth year of Qiande, the next Yuan was approaching, Liu Lang, the king of Liang, and Liu Xun, the king of Han in the newly opened mansion, were edicted to go to the front line of Hanzhong to reward the army, bringing the blessing of the emperor, and the soldiers fought for more than a year, which was indeed hard.

The army's heart is slightly stable, even if the weather is getting colder, before the deep winter completely falls, Subu Chiyi once again dispatched troops and horses, preparing to launch a winter offensive in Hanzhong, and the target is directly aimed at Dingjun Mountain, where the Shu army is entrenched. King Liang and King Han stayed in the army, thinking that they were "supervising the army" and observing the war.

In Chang'an, in October, Liu Yuan carried out many thought-provoking actions.

The prince's guard rate was all replaced, and the guard Lang led Pang De to enter the East Palace with 1,000 people to protect the prince's safety. Li Meng, Wang Fang and other princes will all be transferred to the border and the front line. The East Palace's connection with the outside world was completely cut off, and the crown prince Liu Rui was de facto placed under house arrest.

Outside the palace, a purge against the prince's forces was directly launched. The crown prince Xian Ma Yang Xiu was personally arrested and imprisoned by Liu Yuan, and soon after, he was ordered to be executed by Liu Yuan, without even giving the apparent charge. And Yang Xiu was relatively calm until he died, except for the deep unwillingness in his eyes.

Subsequently, the crown prince Shao was degraded by Liu Yuan for the crime of "harboring the former Han and confusing the public with evil words", and went to Mobei Longcheng to graze, intending to make him follow the story of Su Wu. Liu Yuan has been unhappy with some of his protégés for a long time, and this time he will be cut off as soon as he makes a move.

Not to mention the harsh environment in Mobei, in Longcheng, there are many remnants of the Hu nationality who hate Han because of their opposition to sinicization, and the clan moved north, and the result will not be good. And with Shao's aged body, he was afraid that he would not be able to reach Dragon City, so he died.

The rest of the prince's subordinates were either degraded or exiled. Liu Yuan's undisguised practice of cutting off the prince's wings shocked the government and the public, and people with a little vision realized that the position of the prince was only afraid of instability.

In the second half of the twelfth year of Qiande, Chang'an was rarely peaceful.

In the imperial palace, Empress Liu Zhi walked out of the Xuan room with a sad face, looking deeply shocked, and there were obvious tears on her still beautiful face. She was summoned by Liu Yuan to the Xuan room to speak, and the couple talked alone for a long time. There was a sense of loneliness all over his body, don't let go of the maid's support, and went back to the Jiaofang Hall without reluctance.

The next day, Liu Yuan issued an edict to abolish the queen Liu Zhi as Concubine Lan and move to Yilan Palace.

From the Da Yan clan to the queen of Xia, and then to the queen, Liu Zhi has always been the mistress of Daxia, gentle and virtuous, neither at fault nor with any loss of morality.

Liu Yuan did this, and it was obvious that there was no other explanation except for the reason of the crown prince Liu Rui. Everyone set their eyes on the crown prince who was under house arrest in the East Palace.

Sure enough, on the day of the Xia Yuan Festival, after the sacrifice and blessing, Liu Yuan's edict came down.

Abolished Prince.

All of this was carried out under Liu Yuan's insistence, and the central ministers of the three provinces, the lords and princes, could not say anything in this great change.
