When Liu Che received the report from Taiyuan, he was also happy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The cuirass of the Flying Fox Army lined up, and it actually scared the Hun envoys crazy?" This news made him quite complacent.

After all, this kind of material to prove China's strength is too hard to find.

Even nowadays, it is very rare.

He was wondering whether to send this poor messenger back to the Xiongnu out of humanitarian considerations.

Lest in the future, the Huns said that the Han family bullied the weak, so much so that even a frightened emissary wanted to detain it.

It's not good to spread the word.

At this moment, Xia Yi, who was canonized by Liu Che as Guiyi Shan Yu and was above the princes and kings, immediately gave Liu Che a note, saying that the Xiongnu envoy was pretending to be crazy.

The reason is that he is Brother Huyan Zhe, the younger brother of Hu Yan Dangtu, a confidant of the Xiongnu pseudo-single military minister.

Liu Che thought about it and felt that what Xia Yi said made sense.

After all, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period hundreds of years ago, the nobles of Zhuxia had learned to pretend to be crazy and stupid.

There are even allusions in the history books that King Goujian of Yue practiced lying down and tasting courage, ten years of life and gathering, ten years of lessons, and finally destroyed the powerful enemy Wu State.

And after that, in order to avoid the pursuit and murder of political enemies or enemies.

Heroes and heroes, all kinds of tricks have been played.

What is it to pretend to be crazy?

Although the Huns are backward, they should not be stupid.

Especially the high-level nobles of the Xiongnu, in Liu Che's view, there are few real fools.

Since it is so.

So, is this Hun envoy really crazy? It's very debatable.

Then this Hun envoy must not be put back!

What if he's pretending to be crazy?

Isn't this a joke that made Liu Che become a joke like Wu Wangfucha and Pang Juan?

This is an unforgivable stain on a king!

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether this messenger is really crazy or fake, lock him up and see if he is going to talk about it.

Although it is said that the two countries do not fight each other, which is the traditional virtue of the Zhuxia nation, it is not worth mentioning compared with the personal dignity of the king.

For the emperor, the attitude on similar issues will always be the same - it is better to kill three thousand by mistake than to let one go!

So, Liu Che immediately sent two imperial doctors to diagnose and treat him.

……………………………………

The next day, a large convoy slowly drove from Baqiao into Chang'an City.

One by one, the sturdy knights, surrounded by their monarch, drove in the direction of Weiyang Palace.

The people of Chang'an probed one after another to look at this extraordinary convoy.

"The King of Zhongshan has entered the Hajj!" Many people quietly began to talk to each other.

A prince and king, at such a point in time, came to Chang'an, entered the pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven, and made such a big noise.

There must be an article in it, and the gossip party immediately went out in general.

The ****** in the streets and alleys also immediately held various meetings.

In fact, the fact that the king of Zhongshan entered the Hajj itself reveals a lot of unusualness.

Because, the Han family has a system: the princes are in Chang'an, the winter and spring are called the dynasty, and the summer and autumn are pleased.

Dynasty is an obligation that every prince and king must follow.

This is also the ancestral system set up by Liu Bang back then, no matter who it is, it must abide by the system of the son of heaven every three years!

For example, in that year, Wu Chu rebelled, and Liu Wu, the king of Chu, had to come to Chang'an to make a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven because of the time, so he was fooled by the monarchs and ministers of Chang'an, and finally died at the hands of Liu Wei's assassins.

And Liu Bi is the first prince and king in the entire history of the Han dynasty to be exempted from the court, and it is believed that he will be the last.

And Liu Bi was able to have this privilege in exchange for the life of his beloved son, the poor man who was stoned to death by Liu Che's father on the streets of Chang'an with a chessboard.

As for please, it is not as strict as Hajj.

Autumn invitation is not a system that princes, kings and nobles must follow.

In autumn, you can ask someone to do it on your behalf.

In the history books, there are countless records that prove this fact.

But generally speaking, the princes have a pilgrimage of the dynasty, either in October or August.

There are very few New Year's Moons to come to the court, and there are even fewer princes and kings who come to the dynasty with such fanfare as the King of Zhongshan is now.

In the past history, only Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and Liu Yan, the king of Jiangdu, once entered the city with such fanfare.

Even if the King of Zhongshan entered the dynasty in the past, he did not make such a big move.

But now, King Zhongshan's entry into the dynasty with such fanfare can only show one thing - there is another close sibling King today!

Or......

The King of Zhongshan is about to be entrusted with a great task!

This is also the urine sex that the old Liu family has always had.

Before you want to use someone, you must be so gracious that you can't wait to hold it in the palm of your hand and hold it in your mouth.

For example, Liu Chang, the king of Huainan back then, every time he came to the court, he was a freshly dressed and angry horse, and he couldn't live forever.

This younger brother of Taizong was even so arrogant that he sent someone to hammer Biyang Hou Shen to death if he didn't agree with him.

Then he waved his army south, destroyed the kingdom of the South China Sea, imprisoned its king, and moved its people.

Enough of the addiction to imperialism.

But his fate was extremely miserable......

The youngest son of the dignified Emperor Gao, the princes and kings of the Han family, starved to death in the prisoner car!

And Liu Wu, the king of Liang, is more low-key than the king of Huainan Li, at least he will not go on a rampage, and there is no one in his eyes.

On the contrary, this king, who is notoriously friendly and close to the people, will bring a large number of literati and doctors with him every time he enters the court, just like contemporary writers.

Today, the biggest financier of the Confucian Ram School and the Chu Poetry School is this king!

As for the king of Jiangdu, he is different from the king of Liang.

This great king seems to have been weak and sick since he was a child, so every time he entered the court, the Son of Heaven would send cavalry out of Guguan to greet him.

Then, Qin gave him to take the Son of Heaven chariot and enter the city surrounded by Yu Linwei.

Now, in full view, Liu Fei, the king of Zhongshan, although he did not take the royal horse that symbolizes the close relationship with the Son of Heaven, but on his car, he is also draped with a yak that symbolizes the authority of the Son of Heaven.

Looking at this posture, it almost brought the ministers and nobles of the entire Zhongshan Kingdom.

Although this is rare, it is in line with Liu's system.

At that time, Liu Bang stipulated: The princes of the dynasty of heaven must take 2,000 stones from their country!

Although there are no people and birds in this rule now, it is also an ancestral system!

On the contrary, following behind the convoy, dozens of carriages were slowly carrying, which made people curious.

Although, at the beginning, the old Liu family did accept the pilgrimage and tribute of the princes and kings of the world, just like the emperor of Zong Zhou, and also stipulated a share - it was 20% of the total legal income of the princes and kings in the past three years.

But when it came to Taizong, this rule was exempted.

that they should rest with the people, lest the princes, kings, and nobles should go on a rampage, especially the princes.

It is also a means to buy nobles and win people's hearts.

Since then, the princes, kings, and nobles have no longer had to carry countless riches.

They only need to prepare the money they need to worship their ancestors every year.

Therefore, when the king of Zhongshan entered the dynasty, he must not bring wealth - he does not need the wealth and taxes of Zhongshan today.

So, many people are curious.

Especially those families who are politically sensitive enough.

That night, a legend was already circulating in the streets and alleys of Chang'an.

Countless people have quietly told their neighbors and friends: The Son of Heaven is going to move the domain! Zhongshan Wang will be the town of Henan!

This news is so exciting!

A new princely kingdom may well be born.

Correspondingly, there will be many new positions.

For example, the princes and princes, the internal history, the lieutenant, the middle doctor, and the Taifu are all recognized by the imperial court as two thousand stones.

And, in the current situation, there is hardly much responsibility and pressure.

Since the Wu Chu Rebellion, the imperial court has gradually withdrawn all kinds of powers and privileges of the princes and kings, and even deprived many princes of their military and administrative powers, and even took away the power of the princes and kings to appoint and dismiss officials.

Therefore, the official positions of the princes and kings have basically become the best choice for retirement and leisure, eating and waiting for death.

It is also the last chance for countless old officials who have reached the age of Zhishi, but they can't mix up the treatment of two thousand stones.

Before Zhishi, whether or not you can mix a title of 2,000 stones is related to the treatment of Zhishi and the grief after death.

Especially after death, mourning is such a thing.

What if you were a thousand stones?

I'm sorry, but after you die, only the local county order will come to condole, send some gifts, and pay a tribute.

Want the Son of Heaven?

Don't even think about it!

Not to mention the burial of Maoling, and even the treatment of Bo as a son of heaven as the land of the mountain god.

And if you mix two thousand stones, you are at least qualified for the Son of Heaven to give you a nickname.

If you are lucky, maybe you can be allowed to be buried in Maoling, and even be enshrined as a god, enjoy incense, blood, food and sacrifice forever, and live with heaven and earth, and the sun and moon shine together!

In an instant, many of the chief officials of the Yamen came to their senses.

Everyone is already old, and there won't be too many opportunities like this.

If you don't fight at this time, there will be no place to cry in a few years!

Princes and ministers, though now far less majestic and powerful than they used to be.

However, at the very least, it can solve the problem of treatment that everyone dreams of.

As a result, these old ministers, who had not been active for a long time, moved one after another, and the eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers.

And those chief officials of Jiuqing's various departments are naturally happy to see this.

These old guys, holding their seats, really can't do anything about them.

After all, Jiuqing is not the Son of Heaven, and it is impossible to be like the Son of Heaven, if he feels unhappy, he will come to a targeted anti-corruption, cut off dissidents, and clean up the officialdom by the way.

But they can't.

Since ancient times, thunder, rain and dew have all been Jun's grace.

Hong Fan also said: Only to be blessed, only to be blessed, only to be blessed, and the minister has no power to be blessed.

Now, finally, these guys are willing to give up their seats to the big guy's close confidants and optimistic newcomers.

Naturally, it's too late to be happy, how can you object?

And the vacant position left by Zhongshan has also attracted the attention of many people.

Whether Zhongshan will be changed to a county or continue to be a princely kingdom in the future, it is promising.

…………

And when half of Chang'an was boiling.

Liu Che held a family banquet in the Xuanshu Palace.

Different from the usual family banquet, this family banquet is purely a family banquet between the Liu brothers.

Therefore, even the two queen mothers of the East Palace were not invited.

Among the harem concubines, only Queen Chen Ajiao was accompanied.

Of course, Liu Ai, the eldest son of the emperor who was more than four years old and faintly looked like a little adult, was specially recalled by Liu Che from Sixian Yuan and accompanied Liu Che.

Liu Che hoped that this eldest son would be able to learn some knowledge that might be used in the future through the family banquet tonight.

As a superior master, he controls the knowledge of his subordinates.

Four-year-old Liu Ai obviously didn't know the significance of his father's arrangement, he was like a curious baby, blinking his eyes, paying careful attention to his imperial uncle, whom he had never met.

It was Queen Chen Ajiao, wearing a phoenix crown, sitting beside Liu Che quite majestically, her little hand tightly pinching Liu Che's big hand.

Liu Che looked at his eldest son.

Liu Yi has been living in the academy of Sixian Court for more than half a year.

In the past half a year, Liu Che deliberately deprived him of his royal halo and faded all kinds of privileges, so that he could grow, study, and live like a normal commoner.

Liu Che believes that only in this way can a truly qualified heir be cultivated.

It is the only way to avoid the tragedy of Emperor Jin Min, who does not eat minced meat, and Lu Aigong, who 'does not know sorrow, nor sorrow, nor joy'.

The special nature of Sixian Yuan ensures that Liu Yi is already there and will not be disturbed and bewitched by any outside world.

Nor will we be exposed to all kinds of strange thoughts before the mind is mature.

This model is working well so far.

The eldest son of the future emperor of the Han family, now, has been born tall and big, and his body is strong.

And he also mastered all the etiquette and etiquette that should be observed.

Judging from the current situation, in the future, although he said that he was not sure that he could become the heir that Liu Che hoped for.

But at least, in the future, there will be no problem in sitting in a country and giving orders.

After glancing at Liu Ai, Liu Che slowly stood up, held the wine bottle, and said to Liu Fei: "The king of Zhongshan has worked hard from afar, I respect the king!" ”

Where did Liu Fei dare to take it?

Hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "The virtue of the minister is useless, and he does not dare to be respected by His Majesty!" ”

Liu Che smiled and said: "You and my brothers and sisters, now that it is a family banquet, there is no need to be formal...... Come on, come on......"

He picked up Liu Fei and looked at this younger brother who was full of thoughts about war and conquest.

If when he first ascended the throne, Liu Rong and Liu Fei were the two brothers who posed the greatest threat to him - because both of them actually had the capital to replace Liu Che in terms of age and prestige.

Therefore, not only Liu Rong, but Liu Fei was also suppressed by Liu Che for a time.

But this time and that time.

Now, let alone the East Palace, even if Liu Bang is resurrected, the first emperor crawled out of Yangling, and he can't take away Liu Che's authority.

Because his authority is no longer like his fathers and ancestors in the past, but he obtained it by his ancestors.

He was ordered by heaven and proved his destiny, only the three emperors and five emperors could compete with him!

Now, relying on the two battles of Ma Yi and Gaoque, he has won the hearts of the people all over the world.

In essence, he was no different from the founding king.

They are all the kind of emperors who rely on their own strength to create the era and lead the times.

Such an emperor, who speaks the law and has a heavenly constitution in his mouth, is omnipotent, and there are no people or ghosts or gods in the whole world who can restrain his actions except for the God Taiyi in the underworld. (To be continued.) )
