Chapter 147: The Sword Goes Sideways

This time the princes and kings meeting, basically all the princes and kings came, and everyone now knows that this is to elect the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the meeting is very important.

Everyone has ambitions, who doesn't want to be an emperor? Among them, Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, and Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, were the most enthusiastic, and the two secretly made a lot of moves to try to win over the ministers to support them to ascend the throne.

However, to their disappointment, they had no support, and the ministers of Chang'an City almost overwhelmingly supported the current regent to ascend the throne.

Not for anything else, just because the blueprint that Ming Jian painted for them is really beautiful, coupled with the secret intimidation of Jinyiwei, who would dare to support others?

The meeting of princes and kings was held in the court, and the Ming Sword was not verbose, and the first topic was to elect the emperor.

However, Ming Jian would not take the initiative to propose that he want to be the emperor, he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and waited for the jump below.

Zhou Bo is an empathetic person, he immediately jumped out and said: "Everyone, the rebellion of the Lu clan has now been basically pacified, and the Han dynasty cannot be left without an owner for a day, the regent personally pacified the rebellion of Zhulu, and has the experience of governing the country, therefore, the old minister supports the regent to ascend the throne!" ”

"The old minister Chen Ping also supports the regent to ascend the throne! Only in this way can I have a future! Chen Ping also stood up slowly and said.

"The old minister supports the regent!"

"I didn't say anything about supporting the regent to ascend the throne as emperor!"

......

The one-sided voice made the Liu clan have nothing to say.

Liu Ze, the king of Langya, took the opportunity to be the grass on the wall, stood up and said: "The regent ascended the throne is indeed expected, the old minister is the oldest in the Liu clan, in the past, when the ancestor was alive, he also mentioned the regent in front of the old minister many times, saying that this son has the heart of the emperor, and now it seems that the regent still has the ambition of the emperor and the talent of the emperor, the old minister respectfully invites the regent to ascend the throne and revitalize my Han country!" ”

As soon as Liu Ze spoke, the others couldn't hold it back, and Liu Bi, the king of Wu, also stood up and said, "The regent has ascended the throne, and I, Wu Guo, have no opinion." ”

"Chu State also supports!"

"I, Liang Guo, also support it!"

"Changsha support!"

......

"Huainan Kingdom, my brother also supports it!"

The last to speak was Liu Chang, Liu Chang was very unwilling, but the general trend had been cast, and Liu Chang had nothing to do.

However, after Liu Chang finished speaking, he left the main hall and ran to the grave of Empress Lu and cried.

On the main hall of Weiyang Palace, Ming Jian was not polite, he smiled and said: "Since you all elected Lone as the emperor, then Lone will not shirk, the Han Dynasty has been greatly injured after this catastrophe, and Lone should take the revitalization of the Han Dynasty as its own responsibility, and take the Jiangshan Sheji as its own responsibility!" I also hope that all the ministers and princes and generals will support you. ”

"The ministers don't dare not do their best to serve the court!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

Ming Jian nodded and said, "Prime Minister Zuo, you can choose an auspicious day for your enthronement." ”

"The old minister obeys!" Chen Ping said.

The hearts of the ministers have also settled down, and with the emperor, the machine of the Han Dynasty can operate normally.

The court was discussing, and suddenly, Song Chang came in and reported: "Qiqi Regent, King Huainan killed the pawn judge in front of the tomb of Empress Dowager Gao!" ”

"What?" Ming Jian was stunned.

However, he knew very well in his heart why Liu Chang wanted to kill and eat him.

The ministers had already heard it clearly, and the court lieutenant Shen Tujia immediately said: "King Qiyu, this king of Huainan dares to openly and privately kill important ministers of the imperial court, and the ministers think that he should be arrested immediately and punished according to the laws of the imperial court. ”

"Yes, regent, King Huainan has always been arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't take others seriously, if he doesn't punish him, I'm afraid his subjects won't accept it."

"That's right, the king of Huainan has no royal law, and he is an official of the imperial court, where is his turn to take people's lives?"

"Kill the king of Huainan and give him his life!"

......

In the court, it suddenly became lively.

Ming Jian said in embarrassment: "Everyone, now that Gaozu is in his blood, only Gu and Seventh Brother are left, although the Seventh Brother is bold and reckless, but please read it for the sake of Gao Zu, give him a way to live, and I am willing to accept the punishment of the law for the Seventh Brother!" ”

As soon as Ming Jian said this, the ministers were so frightened that they knelt down and said, "The regent is serious!" ”

Ming Jian said with a smile: "The seventh brother is the lonely brother, now that Gao Zu and the Empress Dowager Gao are gone, the lone brother is guilty of lax discipline against him, Prime Minister Zuo, tell me, what should be the crime of the lone and the king of Huainan?" ”

Chen Ping is an old fox, he came out slowly, and said: "Back to the regent, the king of Huainan killed and tried him, there must be his reason, it is better to announce the king of Huainan to the palace first, ask clearly, and then convict it is not too late." ”

Ming Jian nodded and said, "In that case, Song Chang, go and bring the King of Huainan to the palace." ”

At this time, a loud shout outside the door: "No need, I'm lonely!" ”

Then I saw Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, carrying a few wattles on his back, and walked in, his back had been pierced by the wattles, and there was blood mottled everywhere.

"Fourth brother, the queen mother who defiled the queen mother in front of the queen mother's tomb just now, the younger brother couldn't see it, and he missed it for a while, so he killed him, if the fourth brother wants to punish the crime, the younger brother has nothing to say."

Liu Chang was stunned, and he was still speaking arrogantly at this time.

Ming Jian sighed and said, "Seventh brother, your temper has not changed at all, even if you are guilty, you should be punished by the court, can't you bear it?" ”

Liu Chang pursed his lips and said, "Fourth brother, if the younger brother can change it, then he is not the younger brother." You say, if you want your brother to resist your life, you will still be imprisoned, or you will cut the feudal domain, or you will confiscate the army. ”

Shen Tujia couldn't hold back any longer, jumped out and pointed at Liu Chang's nose and scolded: "King Huainan, Hugh has to be rampant in front of the regent, you have no king's law, this official will now rule your sins according to the law, and someone will ...... it."

Ming Jian interrupted Shen Tujia's words and said, "Lord Shen, slow down. Judging him, he did have an improper relationship with the Empress Dowager Gao for a long time, and the seventh brother killed him, only the crime of negligence! In this way, the judge is already dead, and he will no longer be held responsible, the king of Huainan manslaughter, compensate the trial of his family for 1,000 catties, change the title of Yan Wang, and go to office immediately! ”

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Brother Chen, thank you Fourth Brother!" ”

After saying that, go away!

The ministers were dumbfounded, what is this called?

Shen Tujia immediately argued, "No, regent, where will the laws of the court be placed?" Besides, even if the king of Huainan is not allowed to arrive, but he can't change the title of the king of Yan, this Yan country is located in the northern frontier, bordering the Huns, with the temper of the king of Huainan, if it is Hulai, will the Han rivers and mountains not be in danger at that time? ”

Ming Jian said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with Lord Shen strictly enforcing the law, but Lone is just this younger brother, I really can't bear to kill him, let him go to Yan Kingdom, he has the strength and courage, but he can be used to resist the attack of the Huns." Lone made another will, and gave him a backing. Liu Zhang obeyed orders! ”

Liu Zhang stood up and said at a loss: "My nephew is here!" ”

Ming Jian said: "Liu Zhang, the commander of the Northern Army, is both wise and brave, and is now named King Zhao, and he will go to his post immediately!" ”

When Liu Zhang heard this, he almost didn't bare out of his eyes, and he asked suspiciously: "Fourth uncle, this, is this true?" ”

Ming Jian said with a smile: "Of course, Zhang'er, you are brave and strategic, in addition to developing the economy of Zhao State, you also have to echo each other with King Yan and fight the Xiongnu together, do you understand?" ”

"Nephew understood!" Liu Zhang was overjoyed and grateful.

In the palace, Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, was also overjoyed, his brother was crowned the king of Zhao, and he was the king of Qi, so that his own vein would be the strongest among the princes and kings.

The other princes and kings showed jealous expressions one by one, and they also had expectations.

Sure enough, Ming Jian continued to magnify his moves.

"King Wu Liu Bi obeys orders." Ming Jian said.

Liu Bi hurriedly jumped out.
