Chapter 0191 Going on the Expedition on Behalf of My Father, Is It Useless to Win?
Respectfully exiting the Changxin Hall and walking on the palace road back to Weiyang Palace, Liu Ying still felt that everything that happened today was so unreal that it was like a dream.
——Before Daddy came back, Liu Ying made all kinds of preparations, just waiting for Liu Bang to make trouble!
Including Liu Bang's possible use of the matter of repairing the canal, the boiling price of grain, and even the assassination, Liu Ying was fully prepared.
Even, after determining that Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, could not pose even the slightest threat to himself, in order to block his father's mouth, Liu Ying also thought about whether to intercede for his younger brother.
But after thousands of calculations, Liu Ying never thought that Daddy Liu Bang would give up the idea of easy storage so easily.
That's not all-as far as today's situation is concerned, Liu Bang not only completely dispelled the idea of easy storage, but his attitude has changed 180 degrees!
From the previous 'find a reason for the crown prince', it has directly become 'paving the way for the crown prince' and 'preparing for the transfer of power'!
If she hadn't personally experienced everything that happened today, Liu Ying wouldn't have believed it: this was actually the attitude shown by her father Liu Bang!
And now, even after witnessing and experiencing all this with her own eyes, Liu Ying still feels that everything that happened is quite dreamlike and unreal.
"Hmmm······"
"Perhaps, it's really my performance that reassures the old guy?"
Secretly suspicious, Liu Ying had no choice but to shake her head slightly, reluctantly convincing herself and accepting this slightly blunt reason.
Then, Liu Ying involuntarily raised her head and looked at the main hall of the Xuanyu Room of Weiyang Palace not far away, which seemed to be towering in the clouds, and her brows suddenly wrinkled together.
"Alas~"
"The Expedition ······"
Shaking her head and sighing, Liu Ying lowered her head with a bitter face and thought to herself.
is different from Liu Ying's expectations, as well as the memories of his previous life - after Liu Bang's class, he did not put the matter of 'the prince going on the expedition on behalf of his father' in front of the courtiers and hundreds of officials, and let the ministers discuss.
After the dismissal of Chaoyi, Liu Bang led Liu Ying to the palace alone, and said euphemistically: In this matter, the prince will first go to explore the queen's tone.
Obviously, Liu Bang also knows very well in his heart about the 'prince going out on behalf of his father' and quelling the rebellion of Wang Yingbu of Huainan: Queen Lu Pheasant, it is almost impossible to nod and agree!
But Liu Ying is also clear: although Daddy Liu Bang said that he was going to explore the mouth, in fact, 'persuading the queen to nod' was almost a dead task assigned by Liu Bang to Liu Ying!
It is true that today, under the premise that Liu Bang is above the court and unabashedly said, 'After a hundred years, the crown prince will succeed to the throne', Liu Ying can pretend not to know about it.
Anyway, Liu Ying's status as a 'quasi-son of heaven' is already a certainty, just wait for the nine death knells to ring in Changle Palace, and Liu Ying can succeed in the Ninth Five-Year Plan and become the king of the world.
But if Liu Ying really does this, and doesn't mention whether the Son of God will have a bad heart because of this, or even the idea of easy storage again, Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant will inevitably make trouble because of this matter.
- On the one hand, it is the old man who is sick and has no intention of going on the expedition; On the other hand, there is the founding queen who is eager to protect her son and will not agree to the prince's expedition!
At the moment when King Yingbu of Huainan is eyeing the eastern part of the country and rebelling against Japan, the emperor and queen are not in agreement, especially because of the prince, which will inevitably cause the Chang'an court to fall into a new round of turmoil.
And the only possible result of such a turmoil is that Liu Ying, who 'decided to go on behalf of his father', suffered great damage to his majesty······
"Whew~"
Taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling it, Liu Ying couldn't help but raise her head again and look at the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace in front of her.
"Try it."
"Even if you can't persuade you, you have to avoid turmoil in the court······"
Thinking like this, Liu Ying stepped on the long steps outside the Xuanshu Hall with a faint trace of 'indomitable' momentum.
At the end of the long steps, the Xuanshu Hall at this moment was already overcrowded, just waiting for Liu Ying's arrival······
·
"Wu'er~"
Under the gaze of everyone in the hall, he stepped over the high threshold, and before Liu Ying bowed his hand, he heard Lu Pheasant's voice from the top of the house with great joy.
"Hurry, hurry forward!"
Seeing that the old lady was waving frantically to herself, Liu Ying could only step forward obediently and bow to Lu Pheasant.
"Erchen, meet ······"
didn't wait for Liu Ying to salute, but saw Lu Pheasant trotting down the imperial steps with a smile, and looked Liu Ying back and forth with joy.
After being satisfied, Lu Pheasant turned his head sideways with a smile, and his expression was full of the superiority of the younger generation.
"Suitable talent, His Majesty Hou Yan is related to Chixiao on my son's waist, and I still don't believe it."
chuckled and nodded to Lu Shiyi beside him, and saw Lu Pheasant leaning down slightly, touching the Chixiao Sword on Liu Ying's waist without any scruples, and then looked at everyone in the hall again.
"Now it seems that Your Majesty should be lost and know that he can serve the society, and he is the only one!"
Listening to Lu Pheasant say this sentence without scruples, 'Your Majesty is lost', everyone in the hall also lowered their heads in unison, putting on a posture of 'I didn't hear anything'.
But even so, it was not difficult for Liu Ying to feel a touch of heartfelt joy from the expressions of everyone in the hall.
- Crown Prince, finally with the full approval of His Majesty!
For these relatives and nephews of the Lu family in the palace, and the old Hou of Zhou Lu, there is no news more pleasant and full of hope for the future!
And in the hall, among the familiar or slightly unfamiliar figures, Liu Ying finally found a familiar figure.
——A figure that has never appeared in Weiyang Palace and has never seen Queen Lu Pheasant alone······
"Quzhou Hou Lishang ······"
In her heart, she whispered such a name, and Liu Ying's thoughts also quietly dispersed.
Although Liu Ying was a little surprised by the appearance of such a heavy coffee as Li Shang, she was not too surprised.
Because of this incident, it was already doomed as early as when Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, died in Changle Palace.
——In the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, that is, a year before the next battle of Chu and Han, Liu Bang, who was then the king of Han, was trapped in Xingyang due to the defeat of Pengcheng.
Relying on Peng Yue, who had just been raided by Liu Bang and exterminated his ancestors a month ago, constantly attacked Xiang Yu's grain road at that time, Liu Bang's army barely gained a foothold in Xingyang, but fortunately was not pushed back to the west of Hangu Pass by Xiang Yu.
It was also at that time that the country of Qi, thousands of miles away from Xingyang, had that 'farce' that went down in history.
- In order to win the support of the Qi state of the Tian clan and promote the strategic goal of attacking Xiang Chu on both sides, Liu Bang, the king of Han, sent his most powerful lobbyist, Li Shiqi, to promote the Qi-Han alliance.
As a top lobbyist with high hopes for Liu Bang, Li Shiqi also lived up to expectations and successfully reached an alliance with Tian Guang, the king of Qi at that time:
Tian Guang promised to send troops from Qi to the south to attack Xiang Yu's base camp to relieve Liu Bang's Xingyang dilemma;
Li Shiqi promised: When Xiang Yu retreats from Xingyang and returns to Chu, the Han army under Liu Bang will inevitably advance eastward as soon as possible, and will never let the Tian family Qi State once again independently bear the monstrous anger of the overlord.
Li Shiqi also promised: When the world is decided, the Qi country will still be the king of the Tian family;
In exchange, Tian Guang also promised: respect Liu Bang, the king of Han, as the son of heaven.
The alliance was reached, the agreement was signed, everything was ready, and when Qi Wang Tian Guang sent troops south to attack Xiang Yuda's rear, Han Xin, who was successfully able to pacify Yan and Zhao, set his sights on the fat Qi State.
The Han-Qi alliance had just been reached, and Tian Guang, the king of Qi, was naturally defenseless against the Han soldiers under Han Xin's command;
At the same time when Qi and Han did not defend each other, Han Xin brazenly attacked Qi, and destroyed the Qi State in one fell swoop with a very ugly appearance and a complete victory without force!
In this way, Tian Guang, the king of Qi, who had the hatred of destroying the country, naturally vented all the anger in his heart on the 'repeated villain' - the Han envoy Li Shiqi.
After that, all women and children knew.
Han Xin was able to 'pacify' the state of Qi, and immediately submitted the table, asking him to be named the king of Qi; although Liu Bang was dissatisfied with this, in order to continue to implement the established strategy of 'attacking from both sides' against Xiang Yu, he finally reluctantly agreed to Han Xin's request.
Li Shiqi sent an envoy to Qi as a Han envoy, and just after the Han-Qi alliance was promoted, the Qi State was destroyed because it was not defended; As an envoy of the Han Dynasty, Li Shiqi was finally killed by the angry Qi Wang Guang outside Linzi City.
After cooking and killing Li Shiqi, Tian Guang, the king of Qi, could only flee to the island with the only remaining doormen and guards; In the end, he still didn't escape death, and even brought the entire Qi Mo branch to his funeral.
It was also from that time that the blood feud of 'killing Li Shiqi' was counted on the head of Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin, by Li Shiqi's younger brother Li Shang.
Now, Han Xin has been awarded the head, the blood revenge has been avenged, and the Hou Lishang of Quzhou has come to repay the favor.
- No, at today's meeting that obviously belongs to the 'Lu family's interior', the figure of Li Shang appeared in the Xuanshu Hall of Empress Lu Pheasant's Weiyang Palace.
If nothing else, two days after tomorrow, Li Shang should also bring a heavy gift to visit another benefactor: Yuhou Xiao He.
At this time, Liu Ying was a little overjoyed because of Li Shang's 'joining'······
"Come, sit beside me."
After sharing all the joy in his heart with everyone in the hall, Lu Pheasant finally re-raised the queen's shelf, smiled gracefully, took Liu Ying's hand, and came to the top position and sat down.
As Liu Ying expected, almost at the same time as everyone was seated, Lu Pheasant asked the question that would inevitably appear.
"Fang Cai, Your Majesty summoned my son to the dormitory alone, what did you say?"
Hearing Lu Pheasant ask about business, Liu Ying couldn't help but take a breath, and the expression on her face couldn't help but be a little more serious.
"I was about to tell the queen mother."
"The father and the emperor said to the son, just a few days ago, the child entrusted the marquis to the queen mother······"
After saying that, Liu Ying did not forget to turn her head slightly and nodded in the direction of her uncle Lu Shizhi.
Seeing Liu Ying's posture, Lu Pheasant nodded as if he was not surprised, and the joy on his face quietly brought a little solemnity.
"I expected this."
With a clear expression, he said a word, and saw Lu Pheasant raise his head slightly and smile politely at everyone in the hall.
"Summoning you to the palace today, except that I want to hold a banquet in the evening, so that I can congratulate Wu'er on receiving the gift of His Majesty with the red sky, so I will do this."
"——Last year, Chen Feng rebelled with the Dai and Zhao, and now His Majesty has turned back first, and the war between the Dai and Zhao will not be peaceful;"
"In the spring of this year, Han Xin died of sin; Xia, the king of Liang, Peng Yue tribe. ”
"When His Majesty decided on Han Zuo, there were eight princes with different surnames in Kanto; However, in addition to His Majesty's siblings Yan King Lu Xuan and Changsha King Wu Chen, there is only one Huainan King Yingbu. ”
As he spoke, Lu Pheasant's expression also quietly became serious, and he couldn't help but feel a little cold in the eyes of everyone in the hall.
"On the night, Peng Yue, the king of Liang, Chen Xuan, the acting minister, and Yingbu the king of Huainan are said to be in the market: The ability of these three people should be comparable to Huaiyin!"
"Today, Peng Yue and Han Xin are dead, and Chen Feng will also be defeated; Huainan Wang Yingbu, there is no reason to do the opposite······"
Speaking of this, Lu Pheasant's tone was obviously a little tough, as well as annoyance for no reason.
"Yingbu Dan is the opposite, it will be in autumn and July, when the grain is ripe and the grain is sufficient."
"However, His Majesty's return to Chang'an is a holy bow, and he will turn around and recuperate first; If Yingbu is against Huainan, I am afraid of Your Majesty, and I will not be able to conquer it in person······"
The tone implied annoyance in his tone, and Lu Pheasant finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat back down.
Before everyone came back to their senses, they saw Lu Pheasant smiling coldly again, looking around at the people in the hall.
"Yingbu will be opposed, and Your Majesty will not be able to recruit in person; Now, His Majesty has made it clear that the crown prince will be responsible for the succession of the state. ”
"Your Majesty's intention, I am afraid that the crown prince will go on the expedition on behalf of his father to quell the rebellion of Yingbu."
"Do you think that the crown prince may go on the expedition on behalf of His Majesty?"
Hearing Lu Pheasant's successive questions, everyone in the hall also gathered their joy on their faces, and lowered their heads to think about it with a grim expression.
Only a moment later, I saw that Jiancheng Hou Lu Shizhi was born first, and gave up his hands to Lu Pheasant, Liu Ying's mother and son.
"Queen."
With a low bow, Lu Shizhi raised his head tentatively.
After Lu Pheasant's slightly invisible bow, Lu Shizhi put his mind at ease and bowed down again.
"In the past, the Marquis of the Central Dynasty said a lot: Yingbu, the king of Huainan, can be compared with Peng Yue, the king of Liang, and Chen Xuan, the acting minister; And these three people are not much different from the Marquis of Huaiyin. ”
"Such a great talent, but he is rebellious, if he wants to calm down, I am afraid it will not be easy······"
"Now, the storage position of the family is stable, and he was assassinated in Changling in the past; Your Majesty is ill, but he will not get sick, but at home, he will have sores in his body······"
As he spoke, Lu Shizhi couldn't help but raise his head slightly, and invisibly probed Liu Ying's expression changes.
Seeing that he couldn't see anything wrong, Lu Shizhi had no choice but to bow his head again.
"Furthermore: If the family goes out on behalf of His Majesty to fight against the British and Buchen, if it is defeated, the family will be ruined at best, and the family will be killed on the battlefield, so that the world will be in turmoil, and the Kanto region will be swept by the flames of war."
"Now, the prestige of the family has been established, and it has won the support of nearly one million households in Guanzhong; This expedition is victorious, and it will not be beneficial to the prestige of the family······"
After saying that, Lu Shizhi finally glanced at Liu Ying, and then bowed his hand heavily.
"The minister thinks: If the family goes out on behalf of His Majesty, it is a victory, and it is not profitable; Defeat will be even more relic. ”
"In the old family, you must not go out on behalf of Your Majesty!"
