It's okay that Liu Rong didn't mention Concubine Su, but as soon as Concubine Su was mentioned, the faces of countless people immediately changed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially a few concubines, they gritted their teeth and were resentful.

Back then, Concubine Su was in this court, and the people she offended could almost form a reinforced company.

Empress Dowager Bo and Empress Dowager Dou changed even more sharply.

Back then, in order to support the emperor to ascend to the throne, the first emperor took great pains to kill his mother and son, and the two queen mothers were naturally as clear in their hearts as mirrors.

Especially the Empress Dowager Dou, when the first emperor was dying, he explained everything to the Empress Dowager Dou.

Now, when Liu Rong mentioned Concubine Su, the last trace of family affection in the heart of Empress Dowager Dou was wiped out.

The first emperor dove killed Concubine Su in order to clear the way for today.

And Liu Rong now mentions Concubine Su, in the heart of Empress Dowager Dou, it is actually equivalent to coercion.

used the truth of Concubine Su's death to blackmail her, the court, and the emperor.

Coerce?

Empress Dowager Dou never eats any form of coercion.

Liu's never eats blackmail!

At the beginning, Emperor Taizong had just ascended the throne, the country was in turmoil, and at the moment when all kinds of waste were in ruins, the Huns thought that they had nothing to fear and provoked the Han family.

Under such difficult and arduous circumstances, Emperor Taizong, who had not yet established himself, risked shaking his foundation, resolutely and resolutely sent the prime minister to fight with the Xiongnu in Henan, and finally recovered all the cities within the Great Wall, expelling the power of the Xiongnu in the Great Wall.

As the queen of Taizong, Empress Dowager Dou naturally will not accept blackmail and coercion.

Even any form of blackmail and blackmail will only anger the empress dowager.

"King Jiangdu also lost his mother at a young age, why didn't he see him like you?" Empress Dowager Dou said coldly: "King Huainan, you are simply too disappointing to the mourning family!" ”

Liu Rong listened to Empress Dowager Dou's words, he was chilled, he couldn't think clearly, how did things become like this?

But one thing is clear, he knows that he has fallen into a great crisis.

Now, the only person who seems to be able to save him is his brother, whom he has hated and hated in the past.

There was no way, he could only prostrate on the ground, showing a pitiful look, looking at Liu Che, hoping that Liu Che would be able to speak, intercede for him, and spare him this time.

Liu Che looked at Liu Rong's appearance and sighed.

In the past and present lives, countless memories come to mind.

At this point, Liu Rong himself has to bear most of the responsibility, and Concubine Su's pampering and Liu Che's deliberate indulgence are just inducements.

Therefore, Liu Che has no guilt in his heart.

"King Huainan, I am also very disappointed...... Liu Che sat down in the throne and said very depressedly: "I remember that back then, the first emperor Zhao'er was the king of Changshan, and before leaving, he said: People don't suffer from their ignorance, they don't suffer from deception, they don't suffer from their bravery, and they ...... if they are violent."

"The first emperor taught, the king didn't remember a word......"

Liu Rong could only bury his head deeply, trembling and prostrate on the ground, not daring to say a word.

But in my heart, I was very, very dissatisfied.

In that year, the first emperor drove him out of Chang'an, and specially ordered people to admonish him.

These are the words that Liu Che said now.

What do these words mean?

Don't worry that you're not smart, I'm afraid that you're cheating, I'm not worried that you're not brave, I'm afraid you're being strong, I'm not worried that you're not rich, I'm afraid that you're forgetting your righteousness for profit, and you're not kind to the rich.

Such an instruction, in Liu Rong's eyes, is actually the first emperor suppressing him and discriminating against him.

Ask him to be a stupid, cowardly, well-behaved, and decent prince.

Preferably, be an otaku.

But Liu Rong rejects such a future and will not want it.

Even now, in his heart, it is still the same.

"The eldest son of the widow country, Anken does nothing, chatting silently?"

"Life is five tripod food, death is also five tripod cooking!"

In his heart, he never forgot the most glorious moment he had ever been, the crown prince he once touched.

"Where is Zongzheng?" Liu Che asked lightly.

"Minister, Zong Zhengqing, wait for the edict......" Zong Zheng and Liu Jing immediately came out of the ranks.

"Where is it too often?" Liu Che asked again.

"The minister, Changqing, Peng Zu, and the edict!" Dou Pengzu also ranked first.

"Where is Captain Ting?" Liu Che stood up and asked expressionlessly.

"The courtier's lieutenant Qingyu is here!" Tingwei Zhao Yu held Han Lu in his hand and prostrate on the ground.

"With what Qing and others have seen and heard today, what crime should Huainan Wang Rong be guilty of?" Liu Che asked coldly.

Just thinking about it slightly, Tingwei Zhao Yu bowed and said: "Please consult Your Majesty Rongchen and others......"

Liu Che nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"No!" The three of them bowed, and then retreated to a corner of the hall, after discussing for a while, they came back, and bowed their heads and said: "The minister is too often Peng Zu, the minister is Zhengjing, the minister is Wei Yu, and the death is played: the king of Huainan abolished the law of the first emperor, did not listen to the teachings of the first emperor, was disobedient and unfilial, had a suspicious heart, lived in a large place, used the yellow house to the left, went in and out of the Son of Heaven, privately engraved the seal, privately made the dragon robe, practiced the law of witchcraft, used the strategy of disgust to win, cursed the monarch's father, slandered the country, the crime was not forgiven, and the ministers thought that the king of Huainan was sitting on the law and being a clan! ”

After speaking, the three of them paused deeply and bowed: "The ministers will bow again, and they will die to hear!" ”

The ministers made this conclusion as early as Liu Che's plan.

Because this is the Han tradition: as long as the emperor leaves the issue of the guilt of the princes and kings to the ministers to adjudicate, then basically the ministers of any faction will inevitably give a conclusion that is completely in line with the law and the system.

This is the unspoken rule of Hanji's political arena.

The minister does not care about the high or low, but only the facts.

Of course, the final judgment is in the hands of the emperor.

When Liu Rong heard this result, he was terrified, and he finally knew that he was afraid.

He raised his head and looked at Liu Che deadly, his whole body began to tremble, this time he finally didn't pretend.

He finally sensed the danger.

Liu Che sat on the throne, his fingers lightly tapped on the table of the desk, and then turned his head to look at the princes of the clan and the elders of the foreign relatives: "What do you think of the princes and princes of the clan, the princes and princes of the foreign family?" ”

To deal with Liu Rong, it is not enough to rely on national law alone.

There must also be a family law endorsement, and he will be expelled as the eldest son of the emperor first.

Jiangdu King Liu Yu, Huaiyang King Liu Yu, Mengwang Liu Fei, Lu King Liu Duan and other brothers, as well as acting king Liu Deng, Jibei king Liu Bo and other clan princes and kings have come out one after another, and bowed in unison: "The ministers think that Huainan Wang Rong, without the Son of Heaven, disobeys the first emperor, does witch things, uses the method of disgust to win, privately engraves the seal, enters and exits the quasi-Son of Heaven, privately makes dragon robes, and uses the yellow house Zuo Xu, the crime is extremely evil, unforgivable, and the ministers and others think that the king of Huainan should not serve the first emperor's temple!" ”

The ministers of the relatives and the princes of the clan also collectively bowed: "The ministers seconded the proposal, the sins of the King of Huainan are not forgiven, and they should not serve the temple of the first emperor!" ”

When Liu Rong heard this, he almost fainted.

Shouldn't you worship the temple of the first emperor? just doesn't recognize him as the son of the first emperor.

The boundless fear immediately hit Liu Rong's heart.

Losing his identity as the eldest son of the first emperor, he lost everything.

Now, he finally came to his senses that the man he had cursed and resented was the one who had been sheltering and protecting him invisibly.

But this awakening came too late.

Liu Che, who was sitting on the throne, said with a heavy face: "I have been ordered by the first emperor to protect the temple, and for seven years, I have been sleeping at night, trembling, walking on thin ice, lest I be immoral, and I will be ashamed of the ......first emperor's virtue."

"Now the king of Huainan is chaotic and bad government, this virtue is thin, and he can't be reformed, so ......"

"And the husband of King Huainan, the eldest brother of my wife, the eldest son of the first emperor, I really can't bear to be the king!" Liu Che waved his hand and said, "...... to discuss it with Qing and the others."

This is also one of the rules of the game.

The villains play the role of the ministers, while the emperor can only play the role of a benevolent and generous parent.

When Liu Rong heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He knew he was right.

Liu De really didn't dare to kill him.

However, before he had time to be happy, he heard Tingwei Zhao Yu bowing and saying: "Your Majesty the Emperor Tingwei Yu is dead: Your Majesty thinks that the eldest son of the first emperor of Huainan and the eldest brother of His Majesty have the same birth, and he can't bear to give the law to the king...... However, the minister thinks otherwise, His Majesty is the lord of the world, and the parents of the people are also, and now the King of Huainan is regarded as a legal family, if His Majesty thinks that His Majesty the King of Huainan is the same brother, and the eldest son of the first emperor cannot bear to give the law to the king, is it not bad for the first emperor's law, so the minister is ignorant and admonished: Your Majesty should take the world as the priority, and the law should be the king, and this law is enough! ”

Immediately after Zhao Yu, there was a large number of liehou nobles.

This is also a new development direction of today's Legalists, and the law enforcers led by Zhao Yu and other judicial and criminal officials, after absorbing the legal ideas of the old Huang school, gradually evolved into conservatives.

In their eyes, the so-called one sentence, the law, seven feet below, the prince who violates the law and the common people are punished.

It is their duty to defend the dignity and sanctity of the law.

Therefore, Liu Rong, the king of Huainan, must be strictly codified in their eyes.

Otherwise, it is a blasphemy against the law and their faith.

It would make them sick and worse than death.

However, Liu Che could not agree with them.

Because, Liu Che knows very well that the claims and arguments of this Legalist faction, at least for now, are unrealistic.

Chinese society, at least for now, is still a society governed by man.

This will be the case for at least 200 years in the future.

Since it is the rule of man, it is necessary to talk about warmth and human feelings.

Out of the need to maintain the stability of the rule, Liu Che could not directly execute Liu Rong.

But Liu Rong was frightened and incontinent by this group of Legalist ministers who were fierce and shouted at him to kill.

He looked horrified at the man he had hated, his brother.

"Don't say anything more......," Liu Che said to Zhao Yu: "I am not a saint, I can't kill my relatives in righteousness, and I hope that Qing and others will forgive me for this selfishness......"

This sentence made Liu Rong finally cry out loud.

Liu Che looked at him and shook his head in his heart.

Only now did Liu Rong know that he was remorseful and afraid, what did he do earlier?

Liu Che wouldn't be that stupid farmer.

More importantly, Liu Che clearly understands a truth - if Liu Rong does not die, then Hanlu will become a dead letter.

At least, for Liu Che's younger brothers, it will be a dead letter.

From then on, they will be unscrupulous, they will have no scruples.

If you think about it, you can understand: even Liu Rong can avoid death if he commits so many crimes, so they naturally don't need to scruples.

Of course, Liu Che also knew that he could not be directly executed, and he could not even publicly criticize Liu Rong too harshly.

It seems paradoxical, and it seems that even the logic is a bit out of order.

But in fact, there is no contradiction at all, and the logic is very coherent.

In most cases in China, it is not the punishment that kills people, but the hearts of the people.

Like Yue Fei, he died unwarrantedly, but he will always live in the hearts of the people, and no matter who he is, he cannot be erased from the hearts of the Chinese people.

He has always been, and always will be, a national hero.

As for Qin Hui and Zhao Gao, they are alive, but they are already dead.

As for what to do with Liu Rong, Liu Che has already made up his mind.

He wants to make Liu Rong a model, a model of all the princes and kings of the Liu family who tremble when they see it, and dare not violate the law again!

So what kind of disposition can make the princes and kings afraid?

Kill the head?

Not necessarily, since Liu Che ascended the throne, the slaughtered princes and kings are almost ready to form a strengthening class.

However, there are still countless people who violate the law and discipline, have no regard for national law, and even forcibly seize and expropriate, and who expropriate and extort money.

For example, the current Hengshan King Liu Ci, the dead Yan King Liu Dingguo, and Liu Che's two dear younger brothers, Huaiyang King Liu Yu and Liu Sheng, who have not yet revealed their true nature, will sooner or later become a generation of big stallions.

For these people, the law and the system are like nothing in their eyes.

They were even smart enough to know that even if they broke the law, as long as they didn't go too far, the emperor couldn't punish them.

These scumbags, Liu Che has lost patience.

I don't want to go through any more scheming and racking my brains to find a way to deal with them.

It's so hard!

It's also such a waste of time.

Let's take Liu Rong as an example, in order to deal with Liu Rong, Liu Che has been planning for several years, spending countless manpower, material resources and energy to bring him to the ditch step by step.

In the future, I will spend time and brain cells on this kind of thing.

Liu Che is really a little worried, is his energy enough?

He didn't want to waste his energy and resources on how to punish and punish his younger brothers.

simply take this opportunity to settle it once and for all.

So, he tried to see the dagger and said to Zhao Yu and the others: "Of course, what Qing and the others said is not unreasonable!" ”

"Law, the first emperor established, the world recognized, the minister does not want to destroy the first emperor's law......" He walked down the steps and said to Prime Minister Zhou Yafu: "Prime Minister, among the three generations, can there be a similar story?" ”

For Chinese, if they encounter problems that cannot be solved by the current laws and systems, then it is natural to seek help and wisdom from their ancestors.

When Prime Minister Zhou Yafu heard this, he worshipped: "The minister is lonely and unheard, and I have not heard of this precedent for three generations......"

And this answer is exactly what Liu Che needs.

In fact, from the beginning to the present, it is all under his control.

Now, Liu Rong's image has risen from a faint king who is even more terrible than a rui.

Come to think of it, there is not a single similar precedent found in even three generations.

How terrible is this Liu Rong?

The genus of the Gang is not as good as the horse!

It's horrible!

"That being the ......case," Liu Che pondered for a moment, and said, "Then please ask the prime minister to discuss with Zhuqing and discuss the affairs of Huainan, and then play it to my ......."

Although Liu Che already had a plan, the rules of the game were like this, and the ministers had to discuss it first.
