Zhang Jiayang, Xiao Zhuge and Liu Xin lived in Duobaoguan, in order to take care of Shi Lao's injury, Zhang Jiayang and Xiao Zhuge were inseparable, half a month later, Shi Lao gradually recovered his health, and when he saw Zhang Jiayang and Xiao Zhuge walking into the room, he suddenly remembered something and said: "Xiao Zhuge , where is the teacher's pistol now?"

"Old Shi, what do you still want to do with that thing, if you don't have a pistol, maybe you won't be able to stand such a serious injury. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Get it back for me, I'll see what's going on, I almost killed myself that day. ”

Zhang Jiayang was puzzled: "Little Zhuge , what's going on?"

"Hey, it's not that when he encountered the robbers that day, Shi Lao took out a pistol and wanted to injure the robbers to stop the use of force, but who knew that pulling the trigger had no effect. ”

"Hurry up and take it out and see what's going on. If you really have a pistol, it's definitely the first weapon in Dahan, hehehe. Zhang Jiayang said with a smile.

Xiao Zhuge said and took out Shi Lao's pistol from his backpack, Shi Lao took it left and right and looked at it for a long time, took out the magazine, took out a bullet, and found that there was nothing abnormal, and then looked carefully, and saw that there were burn marks behind the bullet, so he put the bullet on the ground and said: "Jiayang, is your knife a treasure knife?"

"It feels okay, it's a bit of a bit of a clay. ”

"Okay, use your knife to split this bullet, and I'm going to see what's going on inside. ”

"Okay, look at me. So Zhang Jiayang raised the steel knife and forcibly split the copper bullet shell, Shi Lao picked up the end with the medicine, smelled a smell of burnt gunpowder, and suddenly felt very strange, when the bullet was not fired, the gunpowder inside had already burned, Shi Lao was puzzled.

At this time, Liu Xin walked in and saw the bullets that the three people were looking at, and immediately understood: "The three of them are studying why the guns in the ancient city can't be used in Dahan?"

"Oh, does Lord Weng know that there are weapons like guns in the ancient city?" asked Shi Lao.

"Haha, I don't just know, and I've shipped it, I've long noticed the guns and weapons in the ancient city, but unfortunately after the passage of time, for some reason, the gunpowder in the bullet will burn and lose its use, and the pistol can only be used as a toy, and it is not as good as a dead branch to fight. ”

"It turns out that the owner of Weng already knew, and I also took one for self-defense. Shi Lao said ashamedly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, just now the king's messenger came to report, let us hurry back to Guangling, saying that there is something important to discuss. ”

"Oh, let's go back then. Xiao Zhuge said.

At this time, Duobao Daoist walked in and coughed and said, "All of you are here." ”

Shi Lao hurriedly said, "Dao Chief, didn't you go out to cultivate today?"

"Oh, you just came back, are you discussing going back to Guangling?"

"Yoha, the Taoist is really well-informed, can he pinch it? Xiao Zhuge was surprised.

"Hehehe, I can pinch and calculate there, but I feel that the atmosphere is abnormal, I'm afraid it's annoying to be in the poor road. ”

"Duobao Dao people, Shi Lao, I also want to thank you for saving the old man's life. ”

"You're welcome, in fact, this is not the work of the poor way, it is all the virtue of God's good life to have such a result. Duobao Daoren thought for a moment and then said, "I don't know what Old Shi thinks about the future development of Dahan?"

"Ill-fated but thrilling, the people remember, glorious and long-lasting. ”

"Is it really ill-fated, is there no hope of correction? ”

"Yes, there is a disaster right now, it is difficult to avoid, maybe this is the inevitability of the wheel of history moving forward, I don't know what the Taoist chief holds in the disaster?"

"Pity the people of the world, those who fight hard do not know that they are the suffering masses, and they are willing to do their part for the stability of the world, and hope that Shi Lao can also maintain peace like the messenger sent by heaven. ”

"It's good, I admire the Taoist chief's opinion, if I participate in it, I will definitely do my best for the common people in the world. ”

At this time, Liu Xin, who was on the side, couldn't wait and said, "Master, Shi Lao, it's almost, we've been talking together for so many days, and we haven't finished talking yet." ”

"Okay, Xin'er, you can go back to Guangling immediately, and I won't hinder you as a teacher. ”

A few people said goodbye to the Duobao Dao people one by one, and then left the Duobao Temple and returned to Guangling, without saying anything all the way, several people came to the palace of King Wu together, and saw Liu Bi, the king of Wu, hurriedly saluted, Liu Bi looked at it and said: "Why haven't you seen anyone for half a month, have you all gone there, has something happened?"

"Oh, King Wu, didn't the black tiger report to you when he came back, I was cut by robbers and almost killed me, so I went to Duobao Dao to see the injury. ”

"Oh, the black tiger only mentioned the robbers at that time, and I immediately ordered the robbers to be severely punished, I didn't expect Shi Lao to be so seriously injured, I didn't pay attention to this king, it was rude. ”

"The king is polite, Weichen is still back healthy. ”

"Okay, that's good, I called you here today to order you a task, I don't know if you dare to take it?"

"The king only commanded, and he did not hesitate to go to the fire. ”

"Okay, next month is October, the annual New Year's worship of the vassal states is about to begin, this king has the scepter of the first emperor, exempt from entering the court, but the envoy cannot be exempted, today I will send you to Chang'an to be the envoy of my Wu country, what do you think?"

"No. Liu Xin, who was standing aside, responded.

The annual court meeting in Chang'an began lively, the emperor Liu Qi stood in the Weiyang Palace, and the attendants in the palace stood aside respectfully waiting for orders, and then a messenger walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, the imperial historian is asking to see you." ”

"Oh, please. ”

I saw Chao Cuo's sweaty little step running in, obviously in the extremely low temperature of October, it was extraordinary, and when he saw Liu Qi, he immediately bowed and said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"The teacher doesn't have to be polite, all the princes and kings are here, right?"

"Your Majesty, all the princes and kings who should have come to worship are here, waiting for Your Majesty to summon you. ”

"Hahaha, okay, I'll meet you in the main hall in a moment. ”

"Your Majesty, there is a sentence that the minister doesn't know whether to say or not?"

"Teacher, please?"

In addition, according to the ministers' verification, Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, and Liu Wei, the king of Jiaoxi, both had illegal things, and they could be held accountable for this and weakened the feudal state, starting from the Three Kingdoms. ”

"Oh, really?"

Lao Chen believes that if the Liu family wants to be stable for thousands of years, it must be so. ”

"Okay, let's go, see you in the court. ”

Liu Qi strode out, and soon came to the main hall, the ministers were already waiting under the palace, and after saluting the emperor Liu Qi, the confessor shouted: "Liu Wu, the king of noisy Chu, is here." ”

The work was not big, I saw Liu Wu dressed in a royal suit, striding into the hall, and saw Liu Qi bowing respectfully and said: "Brother Liu Wu to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Before Liu Qi could speak, Chao Cuo immediately said: "Your Majesty, Liu Wu, the king of Chu, committed the crime of great disrespect, and arbitrarily ** a maid during the mourning period of the Empress Dowager Bo, which is immoral and should be beheaded." ”

Chao Cuo's words have come out, Liu Wu, the king of Chu, knelt on the ground and was at a loss, his body was like a sifting chaff, Liu Qi responded: "King Chu, what Doctor Chao played is a fact. ”

"Your Majesty, please spare the minister's order, and the minister will definitely change his past mistakes in the future. ”

Liu Qi deliberately remained silent for a long time, and there was a death-like silence in the main hall of Weiyang Palace, and then Liu Qi said: "Okay, I remember that you and I are brothers, and the capital crime is forgiven, but the national law cannot be a child's play, and the living crime is inevitable." ”

Liu Wu hurriedly responded: "I will listen to Your Majesty's will." ”

"Cut off the Donghai County of Chu State and put it under the jurisdiction of the central government as a punishment. ”

Liu Wu didn't dare to say a word of thanks: "Thank you, Your Majesty for not killing, and the younger brother will accept the punishment." ”

"Okay, from now on, the handover of Donghai County will be carried out, and then return to Chu State as soon as possible, reflect seriously, and recognize your sins. ”

"Yes. In this way, the kingdom of Liu Wu, the king of Chu, with only two counties, became a county, and the king actually became the territory of the county guard, but the country was weak and weak, and the relationship with the emperor Liu Qi's brothers was far away, so he could only swallow his anger for a while, and he couldn't help but be cautious.

Then Chao Cuo listed the faults of Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, and Liu Wei, the king of Jiaoxi, all of whom were disrespectful to the ancestors of the royal family, and violated the ancestral system of the society, and asked the emperor to punish them.

The news quickly spread throughout the Han Dynasty, people were panicked for a while, and the most panicked in their hearts was Liu Bi, the king of Wu, after getting the news, Liu Bi immediately uploaded the doctor Ying Gao to come, Ying Gao walked into the palace of King Wu, King Wu asked: "Doctor Zhong, what do you think about the current situation in the world?"

"The king's meaning can be guessed by Weichen. ”

"Oh, then you might as well just talk about it. ”

"Recently, the three kingdoms of Chu, Zhao and Jiaoxi have been cut down counties, and the purpose of Chang'an is not in the three small countries of Chu, Zhao and Jiaoxi, but in the end, I am strong Wu Ye, and the king must be worried about this. ”

"Hahaha, those who know me, the middle doctor, I don't know what the middle doctor has to do?"

"For the sake of today's situation, the policy of cutting the feudal domain must be implemented under the promotion of Chao Cuo, so the king cannot sit still, and must be prepared, otherwise the Wu State will change from big to small, from small to nothing. ”

"How to prepare, is there any good way to do it?"

"Now the emperor wants to reduce the kingdom, if no one opposes, it will be broken by each, the current kingdom is sealed by the first emperor, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the princes and kings, we can unite the countries and jointly resist the policy of Chang'an, as long as the countries work together, they can easily occupy half of the territory of the Han Dynasty, even if they can't intimidate the current emperor, at least they can fight against each other, and at the critical moment there can be a fish to die and the net can be broken, and it is not certain who will die by then. ”

"It's a pity that I don't know if the other kings will be able to obey the alliance of their own kings. ”

"Rest assured, the king, if you can trust me, I will go with the king's will to persuade the kings, and the union will succeed. ”

"Hahaha, okay, this king is waiting for the words of the doctor, I have the support of the doctor, why worry about Liu Qi'er, hahahaha. Liu Bi laughed.

So Ying Gao took the token of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, and began to lobby the kingdoms.
