Section 1518 The arrogant Liu Rong
Han Yuande seven years of autumn and September (twenty-eighth), Hangu Pass (Xinguan). Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hangu Pass ordered Wang Wei to stand at the head of the city with a worried face, looking to the east in the distance, while his subordinates were already trembling, and their bodies were a little trembling.
"That tyrant is coming soon...... Wang Wei instructed to the left and right: "Wait for all ready, don't give him an excuse to spill ......"
"Ming Mansion, please rest assured, we have already explained, and even the people in the city have been notified door to door......" left and right said respectfully: "It's just ......... Many people are worried that the king will probably pick a bone in the egg and insist on finding trouble! ”
The others were also apprehensive and worried.
Because, it is no one else who is about to pass through here, it is Liu Rong, the king of Huainan who is known as the faint king and tyrant known today!
The deeds and stories of this faint king are known to the whole world.
In the stories that have been circulated in the market, the level of deafness and tyranny of this great king is about to catch up with the level of the unruly.
Not only did he take advantage of the plunder, but he also had no respect for the scholars.
And most importantly - this is an unfilial son!
He even dared to occupy the land of the temple of the first emperor!
It's just ...... Bad from the head all the way to pus on the soles of the feet!
In the past, people didn't have much feeling about the faint king and tyrant in this story.
But today, everyone has to face this fear.
Because, Liu Rong is coming.
Fifteen days ago, the king suddenly announced in a high-profile manner that he was going to Chang'an. Then, he took his ministers and embarked on the road to Chang'an.
Along the way, in the counties he passed, he demanded the best food, the best accommodation, and the best women in the places.
But he refused to pay even a five-baht penny.
This is already a clear robbery in the open flame.
But he is the king, the eldest son of the first emperor, and the eldest brother today!
Who would dare to disobey his orders?
I can only pinch my nose and make up some things to make up the numbers, and even many people still have the idea of spending money to eliminate disasters, buy something casually, and deal with things.
But that Cheng thought, this King of Huainan really deserves to be a tyrant comparable to the tyrant!
Along the way, as long as he was in a bad mood, or if he was in a bad mood, the local officials would all fall into blood mold.
Excuse and justify casually, and you will be hung up and whipped.
It is also beautifully named: the widow punishes the Son of Heaven......
All the way north, there were already seven local county lieutenants/county commanders and a dozen posters who had been whipped by him.
Just yesterday, Wang Wei heard that a county lieutenant in Hongnong County was almost killed by this king.
It's just horrible!
Wang Wei had to worry about his ass, but he had no choice, he could only stand hard here.
"Why doesn't the Son of Heaven reprimand this king?" Someone was muttering and talking, and Wang Wei happened to hear it, he glared at him and reprimanded: "Your Majesty has your own deep meaning, where is your turn to chew the root of your tongue?" ”
But in his heart, Wang Wei also has deep questions: Why has His Majesty indulged Huainan so far?
To be reasonable, shouldn't we send a man who is highly respected and respected by the world to sit in Huainan to supervise and guide this king?
However, in Chang'an, there has been no movement, and it is completely just sitting back and watching Huainan become more and more arrogant day by day!
By now, the unscrupulousness and madness of this great king have exceeded the limits of the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty.
Even in the legends, those princes and kings of Zhulu who deserve death for their sins and do all kinds of evil are probably more generous than this king.
Just thinking about these things, there were suddenly bursts of exclamations on the city tower, and suddenly the entire Hangu Pass fell into a sea of chickens and dogs.
In an instant, the entire market of Hangu Pass became deserted, every household was closed, and even the bear children were locked in the house by their parents, and they were not allowed to go out, leaving only the officials who were responsible for their duties standing at the gate of the city tremblingly.
In the distance, a huge convoy appeared on the horizon.
The royal flag fluttering high shows the identity of the person who came - the king of Huainan, the eldest son of the first emperor, Liu Rong!
Liu Rong sat on his own car, looked at the outline of Hanguguan arrogantly, and sneered: "Did Chang'an send someone to meet the widow?" ”
"Returning to the king, I haven't received the news that the messenger of the Son of Heaven has come out to welcome the king...... a eunuch lowered his eyebrows and said obediently: "Probably, it is because of the divine power of the king, so the princes of Chang'an are frightened and dare not see the king in person......"
Listening to the eunuch's patting, Liu Rong was very happy, and nodded and said, "It should be so!" Hey, the widow is the eldest son of the first emperor, born sacred, these people dare not see the widow, it is understandable! ”
For Liu Rong, he is now completely immersed in the world he has weaved.
At that time, his attempt to test Chang'an made him a great success, and since then he has been free from the shackles of morality and law.
He does whatever he wants!
Anyway, Chang'an was helpless against him.
Does Liu De dare to kill him?
Can't!
He didn't even rebuke himself, like a pheasant, so that he would be safe by burying his head in a snowdrift.
Liu Rong's high-profile entry into Beijing this time did not mean to further probe him.
So far, Liu Rong is sure that even if he pokes a hole in the sky, Liu De will be helpless against himself.
He couldn't even punish himself.
Because, he is the eldest brother, the elder brother, and the eldest son of the first emperor.
Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for younger brothers to punish or even execute older brothers.
He did not dare to set this precedent, nor did he have the courage to set this precedent.
Then he can only watch himself swagger through the market and go on a rampage.
If you have the ability, you killed me!!!
With such a thought, Liu Rong stood up, walked out of the car with a sword, stood at the front of the car, and ordered majestically: "Pass the order, speed up through Hangu Pass, and give the widow the momentum of my Huainan Iron Cavalry!" ”
"No!" Immediately an officer took the order and left.
Over the years, Liu Rong has not done nothing in Huainan.
With the help of his own financial resources, he recruited a large number of outlaws, and then formed his own guard, loyal only to his guard.
Although the number of people is not large, there are only more than 500 people, but they are all the kind of people who are willing to do anything as long as they give money.
With the privileges of these people and the king of Huainan, Liu Rong repeatedly provoked Han law in Shouchun.
What is the iron law of paying debts and killing to pay for life?
He's going to challenge!
There are quite a few people under him, who are specifically owed money outside, and then refuse to pay it back.
The creditors complained, sued Shouchun Ling, and even sued Chang'an, but it was useless.
As for hiding murderers, he didn't do too much.
Many people were even killed at his behest.
For example, some scholars in Huainan once criticized his behavior and wrote articles accusing him of being 'unfilial'.
When Liu Rong heard this, he was furious, and immediately sent a few outlaws to kill this person, and his head hung at the door of the county office.
The entire Huainan Kingdom knew that the murderer was a person from the palace of the king of Huainan, and he was also ordered by the king of Huainan to kill.
However, no one could do anything about it, and no one dared to go to the palace to arrest people.
The wife and children of the bitter lord had no way to file a complaint, so they could only embark on the road to Chang'an to sue the emperor.
Liu Rong was not afraid, sent people to follow them along the way, and even provided them with protection and assistance, and instructed them to step into the court office to complain.
As a result, naturally...... Even the officials sent by Tingwei were helpless against him.
Instead, in front of the court officials, he confessed that he had killed the man, because he had insulted him as a king.
In front of the wife and children of the bitter master, he arrogantly said, "The widow is the king's law, your husband dares to slander the widow, he deserves to die, and the widow is already very polite if he doesn't kill you......
When the woman saw this, she went crazy on the spot.
This is Liu Rong's most proud moment.
Law, morality, and even imperial power could not restrain him, and they were helpless against him.
He is the heavens, the law, and the supreme monarch!
However, as time went on, he gradually got tired of this kind of game.
Because, Chang'an, as if he didn't care at all about what he did.
It's so wrong.
It's too unfulfilling.
What he wanted to see was the painful look of that guy Liu De, and he wanted to see the tears of remorse from those who gave up on him in the first place.
So, now he's coming.
"Liu De, Liu De, you wait, let the widow reveal your true face!" Liu Rong thought in his heart.
The closer he got to Chang'an, the more restless Liu Rong's heart became.
He remembered many past events, and he clearly remembered how Liu De's bastard relied on intrigue and trickery to take away the position of prince from his hands.
"If it weren't for you, the title of Tiandan Yu, the title of the Holy King, this Yuande Shengshi would be a widow!"
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! Liu De! You killed the queen mother, and I also lost the position of the prince and the son of heaven! ”
"In the end, you won't even give Zhao and Qi to the widows!"
"The widow swears not to share the sky!"
Liu Rong clenched his fists and thought viciously, for him, the initiator of all his tragedies and all misfortunes was Liu De, the emperor's younger brother who had now changed his name.
It was he who caused all the tragedy.
The queen mother died, inexplicably, and the uncles who doted on him also died in the south one by one.
In the whole world, he was unaccompanied, alone.
However, Liu De refused to give him even Zhao and Qi.
Not only that, but he was repeatedly humiliated and humiliated.
Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!
In the past, Liu Rong was still afraid of the ancestral system and the majesty of the law.
However, now when he found that neither the ancestral system nor the law could do anything about him, he went crazy.
He lost all sanity and calmness.
He just wants revenge, and he enjoys the thrill of revenge.
Of course, in this process, the strategists and eunuchs around him had to make first-class merits.
At the beginning, a long time ago, many people around Liu Rong persuaded him to ease his relationship with Chang'an and be a king of peace and happiness.
But now, those courtiers who had been so hard to advise had either been tortured by him and had to leave, or had been killed by him.
Now Liu Rong is surrounded by some villains who welcome and shoot horses.
Surrounded by these people, Liu Rong's personality is naturally becoming more and more perverse day by day.
He is now even more convinced that he is right and everyone else is wrong.
………………………………
But what Liu Rong didn't know was that in Chang'an, in the palace of the king of Jiangdu in Qili, his brothers were already waiting for his arrival.
"Huainan is disobedient to the monarch's father, unfilial to the extreme, has no king's law, destroys the high emperor system, relies on his eldest brother, and insults the monarch's father!" Liu Feiyi, the king of Meng, said to his younger brothers: "Huainan is no longer enough to serve the temple and inherit the society!" However, His Majesty thought of it with brotherly affection, and he couldn't bear to cause the law, so that Huainan has been rampant to this day! ”
"But the widow can endure it! I will teach Huainan a lesson! ”
Liu Yan, the king of Jiangdu, also had a solemn face, gritted his teeth, and said to Liu Fei: "What the fifth brother said is very true, and the widow also has this intention!" ”
Liu Duan, the king of Lu, used his feminine voice and said hatefully: "Brothers, don't forget the little brother......
Liu Duan has become an adult this year, and the adult Liu Duan has become more and more withdrawn and cold.
This king, the character is cunning and changeable, he often convenes a group of scholars from Lu after he arrives in Lu to discuss, at first, everyone thought that there was a king with a heart to Confucianism, but as a result, which Cheng thought, fell into the pit.
Liu Duan's favorite thing is to pick fault with Confucian classics.
In the first two years, as soon as the Zhibow case and the Sanbei case got into trouble, Liu Duan immediately seemed to have discovered Jinshan, and he dragged Confucian celebrities to discuss it every day.
Being played by Liu Duan like this, Lu Ru, who was already dying, suddenly couldn't even take his last breath.
In addition to the love of difficult doctors and officials, this King Lu has no other shortcomings for the time being.
Even, there are a whole bunch of advantages.
For example, he doesn't like to enjoy it, and it doesn't matter to him whether the palace is or not, he has been in the country for two years, and he hasn't even done a single thing to repair the palace.
Secondly, he is not a woman, there are basically no women in the palace, just a princess......
Thirdly, he doesn't like fine clothes and food, as long as he can wear clothes.
And most importantly - he's very, very, very smart, especially with numbers, very sensitive.
Hardly anyone can lie about the data in front of him,
Under his rule, the lives of the people of Lu have changed a lot.
After all, not all the kings of the vassal states are so enlightened, first, they don't want the people's money, second, they don't want the people to help repair the palace, and third, they don't go to the people to find sisters.
It's the perfect king!
Liu Duan was not very disgusted by Liu Rong's encroachment on the land of the first emperor's temple.
But he hated Liu Rong's hostile attitude towards his emperor brother.
In Liu Duan's heart, he knew that there were many people in this world who looked down on him, and there was contempt in their eyes when they looked at him, but only the emperor's brother never despised him, and even sympathized with him.
From the beginning to the present, it is this emperor's brother who is protecting him.
And Liu Rong dared to be disrespectful to his beloved emperor's brother, it was really unforgivable!
"Brothers, how should we teach Huainan a lesson?" A small figure stood up, it was Liu Pengzu, the youngest Zhao King who is now in Chang'an.
