Chapter 121: In the fifty years after the Han Dynasty, there was chaos in the southeast
Changle Palace, A Palace.
Liu Rong was lying on the couch, and Wei Zifu was pinching his shoulders and beating his back.
Tossing and turning in the past two days has exhausted Liu Rong.
I have to say that Wei Zifu's methods are really good.
Under her massage, Liu Rong only felt that the whole person was flying, which was so refreshing.
Now.
Pingyang Hou Cao Shou is here again, he is already a frequent visitor to the Jiadian.
At this moment, he is giving a speech:
"Yesterday, in one day, three powerful princes and kings were arrested, which has never happened since the founding of the Han Dynasty."
"At present, the people in the court are panicking, especially those ministers who are close to the princes and kings, they are worried that they will be implicated."
"Everyone said that there was a villain in the court, and Your Majesty was bewitched by the mistake of the imperial historian."
"Your Majesty didn't mean to cut the feudal domain, but he was completely coerced by mistakes."
"I heard that the princes and kings who are still in Kyoto are either secretly conspiring or leaving Beijing to avoid trouble, and they are already very wary of the imperial court."
"Hey, if it goes on like this, how can it be good!"
Liu Rong listened to Cao Shou's narration, and his heart was very calm.
These reactions of the princes were expected by him, and there was nothing strange about them.
But the reaction of these ministers is very interesting.
They were all on the side of the princes and kings!
It seems that the people who support the cutting of the feudal domain are still in the minority.
Even the Cao Shou in front of him was very dissatisfied with the imperial court's practice of cutting the domain.
That's right, whether it is the princes and kings, or the princes, they are all upper-class aristocratic groups, and they are both prosperous and lossy.
Today, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty can cut the fiefdoms of the princes, and tomorrow he can cut the titles of these marquis.
Thinking about it this way, Liu Rong can also understand why Cao Shou has such an attitude.
Without him, the rabbit died and the fox was sad.
"Do you think that the cutting of the feudal domain is the intention of His Majesty or the meaning of Chao Mistake?"
Liu Rong asked coldly, He must mention this Cao Shou.
"Of course, it's wrong."
Cao Shou replied without thinking about it, and then he made up for it,
"Your Majesty's great policies are all good, but it's a pity that they were ruined by the people below."
The people below his mouth are naturally the wrong ones of the Imperial Doctor.
Those who oppose the cutting of the feudal domain, don't they dare to scold Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and don't dare to scold Chao wrong?
Hearing this, Liu Rong sighed to himself: Even Cao Shou said so, it seems that Chao Cuo's current situation is not good.
Yesterday, he caught the three kings in a row, shook the court of the Han Dynasty, and became a live target standing in the bright place, and became the target of everyone.
Tao Qing and the others' offensive is very fierce, I don't know if he can withstand it.
In fact, Liu Rong is already pessimistic about Chao Cuo's fate at the moment.
Imagine, if Liu Rong was Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, he would definitely use Chao Cuo to cut the feudal domain first, and then kill Chao Cuo to appease the anger of the public.
It's effortless, and it's done.
The art of the emperor.
Just like Qin Jun treated Shang Ying in the past.
。。。。。。
Liu Rong was thinking out of his mind here, and Cao Shouwu was gushing endlessly there.
"The grandfather of Liu Wu, the king of Chu, was the younger brother of Emperor Taizu, and Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, and Liu Ang, the king of Jiaoxi, were both the grandsons of Emperor Taizu."
"They are all my close relatives of the Han royal family, Chao mistakenly said that he would be arrested, what kind of system is this?"
When Liu Rong heard this, he smiled and said:
"No matter how close they are, can they still be close to King Liang? Can I still have my brothers close? ”
One sentence directly choked Cao Shou.
For the sake of Cao Shou's earliest refuge in himself and his loyalty, Liu Rong decided to beat him.
After all, it's your own people, so don't suffer a big loss because you oppose the cutting of the domain.
"Marquis of Pingyang, I heard you complain a lot today, you, like those ministers in the court, are dissatisfied with the reduction of the imperial court and the imperial historian's mistakes, yes or no?"
Cao Shouhan nodded with a smile and said, "Your Highness, Xiaohou is a little resentful, the princes and princes are all sealed by Gaozu, how can he say that he will be caught?" ”
Liu Rong nodded, and said with a straight face: "If you keep thinking like this, you will not be far from bad luck." ”
When Cao Shou heard this, he was taken aback and said, "Why did Your Highness say this?"
Liu Rong explains:
"Do you think cutting the feudal domain is a mistake? Big mistake, that's exactly what Your Majesty meant. ”
"Your Majesty has been planning to cut the feudal domain for a long time, but Chao Cuo is just a hunting dog in His Majesty's hands, and His Majesty will only dare to bite whoever He asks him to bite."
"Now Prime Minister Tao Qing is leading the courtiers to impeach Chao wrong, isn't it just a slap in the face of His Majesty? Can Your Majesty sit idly by? ”
"Remember, don't get involved in this, it's not good for you. Whoever asks you about your attitude on this matter, do not answer him; Whoever pulls you into the coalition to impeach Chao Wrong, don't promise him. ”
"I estimate that my father will soon take action, pull a handful of mistakes, and suppress Tao Qing's party. Don't help others charge into battle, you kid will suffer a big loss in the end. ”
Cao Shou listened to Liu Rong's words and suddenly realized.
For a while, it was rumored that Chao took advantage of Emperor Han Jing to go out of the city and wantonly arrested the king of Chu.
Now it seems that it was Emperor Jing of Han who instructed Chao Cuo to do this.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty left the city to hunt, most likely in order to create an illusion that he did not know, luring the snake out of the hole, and then catching it all.
High, really high!
Cao Shou swallowed his saliva and said, "Will those three princes really be questioned?"
The punishment is not a doctor, let alone the princes and kings.
Liu Rong smiled coldly, "Why don't you ask about the crime? It's hard to say whether the feudal country can be kept or not. ”
Cao Shou said with difficulty: "That's three vassal states." ”
Liu Rong looked at Cao Shou's uninformed appearance and said, "It's just three, where is this?"
Cao Shou's whole person was stunned.
Liu Rong continued: "You said that among the princes in the world, who does Your Majesty hate the most? ”
Cao Shou said without hesitation: "Naturally, it is King Wu, I heard that the prince of Wu entered the court in the past, and he was very disrespectful to His Majesty; In the past few decades, King Wu has said that he is sick and does not go to court, and His Majesty naturally hates King Wu the most. ”
He's very skillful here.
only said that the crown prince of Wu was disrespectful to Emperor Jing of Han, and did not mention the murder of Emperor Jing of Han; only said that King Wu said that he was ill and did not mention the reason.
It's kind of a shame for His Holiness.
Liu Rong nodded and stood up, as if recalling something.
As he walked, he said:
"In the past, after Emperor Taizu quelled the rebellion, he divided Liu Bi as the king of Wu, with jurisdiction over three counties and fifty-three cities, and was the first prince in the world at that time."
"When Liu Bi was leaving, Emperor Taizu once said to him: 'Fifty years later, there will be chaos in the southeast, and you will have a backbone, could it be that you are the one who rebelled?' ”
"At that time, Emperor Taizu had already seen Liu Bi's ambitions."
But thinking of the same surname in the world, Emperor Taizu still gave him the southeast division, hoping to influence him with virtue. Liu Bi also made an oath at that time that he would never dare to rebel. ”
"Now, fifty years have passed, Emperor Taizu's prophecy has come true, and Liu Bi's rebellion has been revealed."
Cao Shou listened to Liu Rong's words and kept muttering in his heart.
He did hear this story, but when Liu Bang divided every prince at that time, he would scare it like this.
Now listening to Liu Rong say this, he seems to suddenly understand something:
"Your Highness, you mean, next-"
Liu Rong waved his hand and interrupted Cao Shou's words:
"Just know it, don't say it, in short, prepare in advance."
