Chapter 22: Mourning is greater than dying
"Make the river like a belt, Mount Tai if strong, the country will survive forever, and the Miao descendants will be warned!" The princes sang these four oaths repeatedly to the tune of Chu Ge, and many old princes burst into tears while singing it, and they couldn't wait to look up to the sky and howl three times to the extreme.
Xiahou Ci, Marquis of Ruyin, then chanted: "Emperor Gao swore an oath with the meritorious heroes, the Danshu iron coupon, the golden stone room, and the Tibetan temple. โ
Looking at the old princes singing with tears, Cao Shi's heart is like a 100-meter tsunami raging the embankment of the soul, and each Hou Mansion hides the Danshu iron scroll issued by the Son of Heaven, the so-called Danshu iron coupon is the name, just like the contract signed by the company boss and employees in the previous life, and like the marriage certificate between husband and wife, this is the earliest contract spirit of every civilization.
With this contract to protect the interests of the princes, the emperor of the Han Empire and the meritorious princes were more closely connected, which was an important measure for Emperor Gao to suppress the princes and kings externally and the Empress Lu clan internally to ensure the consolidation and unity of the regime, and it was also the foundation to ensure that Emperor Wen of Han ascended the throne and became emperor, and Emperor Jing of Han failed to reduce the feudal domain and successfully quelled the chaos.
Liang Zou Hou Wuying Qi sneered: "Look at how the son of today treats us, the small is too small, the big crime is cut in half, and the Confucian doctor is almost slanderous, if we have grievances and threaten them with eagle dog minions at every turn, there is no enterprising direction on the Liehou, and there is no chance for the success, only drunk dreams, arrogance, and lasciviousness in order for the Son of Heaven not to be tortured, and to live one more year." โ
The young Yangling Marquis Fu Yan was indignant about this: "The father and son of the land are mean and unkind, and treat us like dogs, horses, sheep and dogs, how thin!" โ
"Be careful, be careful!" Every time Miao Hou Lijian heard the young liehou's mouth be disrespectful, his face turned white with fright.
The Hou Dong of the Jieshi clan said angrily: "Miao Hou! Your father and brother are admired by the whole world under the name of the Han family, and the Duke of Guo (Li Ji) is just thinking of marrying the mother of the queen and the queen of the plain, Zang'er, the king of Pingyuan, as his wife, and the son of heaven will move the wrath of the thunder to avoid the lord of the prince, which Han law is this used? The Son of Heaven overrides the Han law with his preferences, and regards the princes as reckless as dogs, if you have no resentment, how can you be worthy of your father and brother! โ
Miao Hou Lijian, an old man who turned fifty years old by one year old, was ashamed of a junior who was more than a decade older than him, and his father and brother Li Shang and Li Ji made a lot of contributions to the Han family, just because Li Ji planned to marry the widowed mother of the queen Wang angered the Son of Heaven, and he abolished the lord and dismissed the marquis without going through the trial of the court lieutenant, which really made the world's heroes and famous generals feel cold.
Anyang Hou Zhou Zuoche hated and said: "The father and son of the land bullied me too much!" I want to come first, the public has a spiritual decision, and then regrets that I shouldn't have made this son the emperor back then! If we are the descendants of the King of Qi, why should we be so wolf-bรจi. โ
"On behalf of the father and son, the father and son made a plan to cut the domain, especially the hypocritical and cunning king of that generation of people used Jia Yi as a minion to slander us, and the plan to cut the domain must not be a false hand to train his son to continue his strategy, and we almost destroyed the foundation of Gaozu when we objected, and now the soldiers have begun to do it to us again."
"If there is no rescue for the princes such as us, can the father and son sit firmly on the throne of the Son of Heaven?"
The princes were reluctant to call him by his name, so they used the father and son to refer to Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han, the king of Dai was the name of Emperor Wen of Han before he became emperor, and Chao Cuo was the prince's family order when Emperor Jing of Han was the crown prince.
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty played a one-handed imperial mental trick, which is even smoother than a certain His Royal Highness Li Er hundreds of years later, from the civil and military officials to the common people Li Min, all praise Emperor Wen of Han as a benevolent monarch through the ages, but in the eyes of the princes, this benevolent monarch is a hypocrite who broke the oath of Emperor Gao's white horse and killed the meritorious and virtuous people and broke the oath.
Cao Shi shook his head, although he felt incredible about the methods of the Son of Heaven, but he still didn't believe that the Xian Emperor who created the rule of Wenjing was such a person, he felt that something must have gone wrong to make the princes' understanding of the Son of Heaven deviate, maybe he had a way to bridge the deadlock between the Son of Heaven and the princes, and his identity could also be relied on.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Father Ji has no merit for Hanchen, and today he was framed for rebellion for no reason, please look at the face of the same prince, save him!" Zhou Fudun bowed down and burst into tears, the Han family ruled the world with filial piety, although Zhou Yafu was only Zhou Fu's second uncle, but his care for him was comparable to his own father, and Ji's father was not in a hurry if he wanted to die unjustly in prison.
Qu Shunhou Chen He shook his head and said: "You don't have to waste your efforts, the will of the Son of Heaven is like iron, even if I wait for the marquis to kneel under the corridor of Weiyang Palace, I can't get it back." โ
"Then I will expose this lie and embarrass the Son of Heaven!" Zhou Fu's eyes widened, and the flames in his eyes rose.
Marquis Fu Yi glanced at it: "I advise you not to do this, if you embarrass the Son of Heaven and can't come to the stage, it's hard to say whether he will be angry and take the lives of your Zhou family." โ
"Zhou Fu, you still can't stop talking!" Zhou Jian pulled his nephew Zhou Fu aside, and apologized to several liehous, obviously the Zhou family also estimated this possibility, the liehou and the Son of Heaven will not end well if they tear their faces, and the death must be the liehou, and the Son of Heaven only pays for the loss of face, maybe let Confucianism make a few more strokes, and their Zhou family will become a famous careerist in the history books, and will be scolded by all generations from then on.
Bai Zhihou Xuchang said to the Zhou family: "Although I know that Tiaohou has the grievances of the world, I still ask the children of the Zhou family to face the reality and endure it!" Admit it! โ
Zhou Fu closed his eyes unwillingly, and unconsciously burst into tears, he was already dead, there were more than 200,000 people in the capital, and no one dared to stand up and say a word of truth for Zhou Yafu.
"What about the one in Changle Palace?" Cao Shi raised his head and looked at the liehou with blazing eyes.
"It's useless!" Fan It replied for the liehous: "Don't think that the liehou often enters the Changle Palace to ask the blind old lady to come forward, the empress dowager of the Dou family is really on the side of our liehous, it is just a play staged on both sides, a play for today's son and the prince, the empress dowager is unwilling to lose power, and must find someone who can be used in the outer court, our liehou is more or less a minister in the court, Emperor Gao set a system that often takes the liehou as the prime minister, who else can we use if the empress dowager does not need it?" โ
Cao Shi was silent, the Han family rules the world with filial piety, but it does not mean that the Son of Heaven must listen to the words of the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager Dou needs to borrow the power of the princes in order to balance Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and the princes have asked the Empress Dowager Dou to be the master for themselves is also a mutually beneficial relationship, as long as it does not involve the request of the interests of the Heavenly Family, it can be supported by the Empress Dowager Dou, if the interests of the Heavenly Family are violated, the relationship between the Empress Dowager Dou and the Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty will inevitably prompt Changle Weiyang to unite to deal with the Liehou.
Thinking of the brutal wild boar emperor a few years later, Cao Shi's heart couldn't help but shudder, this is still the peaceful and prosperous era of Wenjing's rule, and the years when the wild boar becomes the emperor in a few years will not be worse, no wonder the princes and prime ministers appointed by the Han Wu Dynasty are submissive one by one, for fear that they will be killed if they do something, even so, there are few people who have a good death.
The princes shivered with fright when they saw Cao Shi, and their faces turned pale with fright and couldn't help laughing: "The Marquis of Pingyang is like a child, and he is not deeply involved in the world, so it is no wonder that the Son of Heaven will rest assured that Princess Pingyang Marquis Shang, but it is a pity that it is difficult to use it in the court." โ
"You don't understand, Pingyang Hou's temperament is the best among the princes, only if we have the heart to make contributions will we end up like this, and if we have no ambition, we can enjoy the peace of the Hou." Qu Rebellion Hou Chen He stood up, shook his sleeves, shook his hands with each other, vibrated his whole body, bowed his whole body, turned around and left.
But everyone will have sympathy, and the princes couldn't bear to look at the mournful expressions of the Zhou family, so they also got up and left.
Cao Shi hesitated, saw Zhou Fu escorting the princes out of the house, lowered his head and dipped his wine and wrote a few words on the wine table, ignoring Fan Qi's surprised eyes and getting up to leave.
Out of the mansion, the princes had almost gone, and Cao Shi didn't mean to greet them, so he rode on his horse and ordered: "It's still early, let's go to the East and West markets to take a turn and see if there are any new things to buy back to the mansion and get some gifts for the princess." โ
The knights of the Hou Mansion were happy to respond, everyone said that Chang'an was good, the knights of the Hou Mansion had long wanted to go to the two cities of Chang'an, which were famous all over the world, to see the world, and dozens of horses rode through the avenues of Chang'an, and they did not dare to speed up the passage through the city, and only used light horses to move slowly and sometimes avoid the carriage pedestrians.
Fan Qiguang hesitated for a long time, and then asked, "What Junhou wrote on the case just now is ......?"
"Huh? What do you say? What did I write? I didn't write anything! Cao Shi shrugged innocently: "When I visit the two cities later, I will have a literary teacher to guide the way, and I still have a black eye on the boundary of this Beijing division!" โ
ps: It's hard to write this kind of historical stuff, so book friends can give a few recommendation votes after reading it!
