Chapter 119: The Lonely Warrior
Emperor Han Jing's face became very bad, very bad.
He knew that Chao Cuo's popularity in the court was not good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.
He looked at Tao Qing, then at the ministers behind him, and said:
"That's what you mean?"
Tao Qing and the others responded: "Chao Wrong's crime is extremely evil, and not killing is not enough to calm the anger of the world!" ”
Emperor Han Jing nodded, understood.
What kind of day is today, Chao is forcing the palace, Tao Qing is also forcing the palace, it's really interesting.
He waved his hand and sent the crowd away.
"I have understood your thoughts, and I will answer you later."
After saying that, he left the Xuanmur Hall.
He knew that Chao Cuo was waiting for him at this moment.
He was going to meet Chao Cuo, the minister he trusted the most.
For decades, he obeyed Chao's words, and Chao was loyal to him, and the two of them were exemplary monarchs and ministers.
He wanted to question Chao Cuo, why did he make such a bold decision without consulting himself?
Is it pampering and arrogance? Isn't Chao Cuo afraid that he will really kill him?
。。。。。。
With doubts and anger, Emperor Jing of Han came to the Imperial History Mansion where the Imperial Historian was wrong, and he wanted to ask Chao Cuo to understand in person.
When Emperor Jing of Han stepped into the Imperial History Mansion, Chao Cuo had been waiting here for a long time.
Just now, he raided and interrogated the king of Chu.
Despite the extreme uncooperation of the king of Chu, Chao Cuo successfully completed the interrogation and made a file of the king's crimes, waiting to be submitted to Emperor Jing of Han for review.
He has been plotting to cut down the feudal domain for many years, and he knows the crimes of the princes of the world very well.
Whether the king of Chu confesses or not, it doesn't matter.
What matters is the attitude of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
Chao Cuo sang such a big play, and there was only one person in the audience, and that was Emperor Han Jing.
If Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty supports him, then the major matter of cutting the feudal domain will be decided!
If Emperor Han Jing doesn't support him, it's just a matter of losing his official position and abandoning his lordship, and it's a big deal to take another life.
Yes, Chao is in a hurry.
If the power of the princes of the world was not so strong, Chao Cuo would not be so anxious.
If they hadn't committed so many crimes, Chao Cuo wouldn't have been so anxious.
If King Wu and the others were not so hostile to Emperor Jing of Han, Chao Cuo would not be so anxious.
It's a pity that there are no ifs.
In Chao Cuo's view, the current situation in the world is as dangerous as an egg.
Emperor Han Jing was dancing on the tip of the knife without knowing it.
The Xiongnu invaded year after year, and their appetite grew bigger and bigger, and they became more and more insatiable.
Every time they made peace with the Huns, it was the Huns' knocking out of the bones of the Han people.
Although harmony can be exchanged for a short period of peace, it is not a long-term solution.
Whoever feeds a tiger with his body, where can anyone escape the fate of tragedy?
In the long run, the Han will die!
。。。。。。
Even more terrible than the Xiongnu were the princes in the interior.
Their power grew stronger and stronger, and they gradually began to challenge the legitimacy of Emperor Wen of Han.
They have been preparing for the battle, planning in the secret room, ready to wave their troops into the Beijing division at any time and replace them.
Yes, Emperor Wen of Han did not win the country properly, which gave him an excellent excuse for the princes of the world, and also greatly stimulated their ambitions.
Everyone is a descendant of Emperor Taizu, why can Liu Qi be the emperor, but they can't?
The descendants of everyone's concubines have similar status.
Yes, if the throne was in the hands of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying, the rest of the princes might not dare to have such thoughts.
Because in the Han Dynasty, the difference between the concubines and the concubines is like the difference between slaves.
The concubine will not dare to compete with the concubine for the throne no matter what, even if he fights, he will not win.
Liu Heng is not a son-in-law, but a concubine, so everyone's status is equal, why can't they fight?
The results of the secret investigation in the past few years shocked him.
Seven or eight out of ten princes in the world have a heart of disobedience, and this proportion is already quite high.
It can be said that all the villains are evil.
It's just that the others are not as explicit as King Wu.
Therefore, Chao mistakenly concluded that sooner or later a tragic civil war would break out in the Han Dynasty.
Since you want to fight, it is better to fight early than to fight late, and after fighting the Han first, you can recuperate and recuperate as soon as possible, and free up your energy to deal with the Huns in the north as soon as possible.
However, he persuaded Emperor Han Jing countless times, but Emperor Han Jing couldn't make a final decision.
Helpless, he had no choice but to make this decision.
At this moment, he had already put it out of the way, and if he could exchange his death for Emperor Han Jing's determination to cut the domain, he also felt that it was worth it.
Yes, he is such a lonely and brave minister of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, a foolish and loyal minister.
。。。。。。
When Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty saw Chao Cuo, Chao Cuo sat behind the table and closed his eyes.
He wore a red-black garment and wore a jade jue around his waist.
Jue, absolutely, just like the wrong character.
The scene at this moment is similar to when the two first met.
At that time, Emperor Jing of Han was still the crown prince, and Chao Cuo was the prince's housekeeper.
Today, one of them is the emperor of the world, and the other is the imperial historian of the third prince.
This is as good as that moment.
Emperor Han Jing was stunned for a moment.
The original anger suddenly flew into the clouds.
。。。。。。
Hearing the sound of familiar footsteps, Chao Cuo knew that it was Emperor Han Jing who was coming.
After serving Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty for more than 30 years, Chao Cuo has long known everything about Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
His voice, his movements, his habits, his way of thinking, even the sound of his footsteps.
Chao Cuo opened his eyes, got up to greet Emperor Han Jing, and let him go above the main hall.
"Your Majesty, this is the file of the case of the King of Chu, please take a look at it."
Emperor Han Jing didn't even look at it, so he threw the file on the table.
He already knew those things about King Chu, and it was no different whether he saw it or not.
He grimaced his face and stared at his wrong eyes, as if the wrath of thunder would come down at any moment.
He needs an answer, and Chao Cuo must give him an explanation!
Seeing this, Chao Cuo raised his sword in his hand, walked slowly to the center of the hall, and bowed again:
"The ministers are guilty of mistakes, and the crimes cannot be punished, please give your majesty permission to kill yourself!"
"The reduction of the feudal domain has begun, and the minister implores His Majesty not to abandon the great cause of cutting the feudal domain because of the sins of the minister."
"Cutting the feudal domain is a national policy that His Majesty and his ministers have long agreed. At this time, although it is a little late, it is not too late. ”
"I beg your majesty to push forward the reduction of the feudal domain with a thunderous force. If the cutting of the feudal domain is successful, the death of the minister will also be blind, and under the nine springs, you should also cheer for Your Majesty! ”
After speaking, Chao Cuo touched the bottom with his head and didn't say a word.
Emperor Han Jing looked at the mistake in front of him, hating and loving.
Love its talents, love its loyalty, hate its stubbornness, hate its dictatorship.
He has already made it very clear, if you wait for the matter of cutting the domain, why do you have to force him if you are wrong!
If he dares to falsely spread the edict of the Son of Heaven today, what will he do in the future?
Such a crime is not tolerated by the emperor, and death is not enough to atone for his sins.
No matter how good the relationship between Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and Chao Cuo is, no matter how much credit Chao has made if he misses it, as long as he commits this taboo, he will definitely die.
