Black clouds overwhelm the city, above the sky, the wind is howling, lightning and thunder, between heaven and earth, there is no half of bright color, the pouring rain rushes down from the sky, almost not a moment, continuous raindrops, forming a continuous water curtain.

In the midst of the monstrous rain, there is a magnificent giant city, like a silent beast, and like a god's mansion, faintly emerging, it is Chang'an City, the capital of the Han Dynasty.

The hustle and bustle of Chang'an City during the day was washed away in the heavy rain, and those countless undercurrents were silenced.

Only in the mansions of the Marquis of Che, there were some voices coming out, and the words were full of worry, and if you listened carefully, it was about the regent Prime Minister Luo Xin.

"Since the death of Yinghou and Anyang Hou, the prime minister is really moody, at a glance, I thought he was going to kill me, it's really terrible."

A group of Chehou sat casually in the room, drinking two glasses to soothe the depressed mood.

"Alas, who said no, I really don't want to go to the court now, a few days ago, I was careless, I ate a meal, Yinghou is not there, it is really not face-saving, it is really difficult to live."

"How long does it take for Your Majesty to be crowned?"

Wuyang Hou asked a key question, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly stagnated, Liu Heng's crowning is not a problem, the key is that Luo Xin should return to power after the crowning.

Of course, Luo Xin can also choose not to return to power, after all, crowning and returning to power is an unspoken rule, not a must-do, but if you really do that, the atmosphere of the entire court will change greatly, and all affairs will revolve around the power struggle between the regent and the emperor, I don't know how many conspiracies and calculations will be hidden under the water.

Jianghou said softly: "Wait, there will be a day when we will sharpen our swords and guns, and the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty will be guarded by us." ”

Imperial Palace, Changle Palace.

Liu Heng stood under the eaves of the palace, his figure was long and straight, and his appearance was very handsome, except for some small fluff on the side of his mouth, he was already about to become a real adult.

He looked at the pouring rain and said to Luo Xin: "Uncle, I'm afraid this heavy rain can't stop for a while, you can stay in the palace tonight, there are countless palaces in Changle Palace, all open for you." ”

"Ahem."

Luo Xin stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back, coughed lightly, and chuckled: "Your Majesty, you see that outside the high palace walls, those Che Marquis must be talking about the harshness that the ministers have been treating them these days.

The ministers will drive the best of them back to the fiefdom, and by the way, deal with a few noble sons who are really unspeakable. ”

Liu Heng heard this: "It's really hard uncle." ”

Following.

A will from the forbidden world shattered Chang'an City, which had just dawned, and the iron horses that rushed out of the palace stepped on the puddles on the ground, splashing puddles of water stains, and the silence of Chang'an City was broken.

Many people who had just woken up watched as these Praetorian Guards rushed to the street where the magnates of Chang'an City gathered.

Then they surrounded the mansion of the Marquis of Che.

The Chehou who gathered to drink last night were still in a drunken state, and they never dreamed that they would be approached by the palace guards.

"I am the captain of the regent's guard, and the regent's chief minister will summon all the princes into the palace to meet Your Majesty, and leave immediately."

When Wuyang Hou heard this, he looked at the appearance of a few people, and immediately said: "General, can you allow a few of us to wash up, isn't it a loss of honor in front of the monarch to go to meet Your Majesty with this appearance?" ”

Who knew that the leading general said with a cold face: "I don't have time for you to clean up, enter the palace immediately, the regent is in a hurry, and the matter is delayed, and a few of you can't afford it." ”

The people who came to look for these Chehou were Luo Guoda's warriors, and they were the people around Luo Xin, so naturally they would not give these people face.

Besides, this is fishing law enforcement, so naturally these people will not be given a chance.

Wuyang Hou and the others looked bitter when they heard this, this is a rest day, who knows why the regent suddenly called these people to see His Majesty, and they also met such a cold-faced person who had never seen them, and they were not accommodating in the face of them.

But there was no way, these people could only rush to the palace with the smell of alcohol on their bodies and in messy clothes.

These people were taken to a side hall where the prime minister usually met with foreign ministers, and seeing that Luo Xin and Liu Heng had not yet come, they chatted one after another, guessing the purpose of Luo Xin's summoning them.

But I can't guess that they and the regent prime minister are pure subordinate relations, if Yinghou is still there, during the New Year's holidays, they will go to Yinghou's mansion to congratulate and pay a visit, but the regent prime minister really has no friendship here.

"Wow."

The men sat up as they heard the sound of footsteps, but the messy clothes and hairstyles and the smell of alcohol made them look a little funny.

As soon as Luo Xin and Liu Heng walked into the hall, they saw this scene, and the two of them stopped suddenly, and Wuyang Hou and the others looked at Luo Xin and Liu Heng, and when they raised their heads, they saw that the expressions on their faces were very ugly.

The Great Prime Minister Luo Xin was even more obviously angry, and shouted: "This is how you met Your Majesty? Unexpectedly lost his honor in front of the king to such a point! ”

As soon as Luo Xin's words came out, Wuyang Hou and the others were very aggrieved, it was Ling's guards who didn't let us pack up and enter the palace, why are we still to blame now?

And it was also a crime like a dereliction of honor in front of the king, so he immediately wanted to argue, but Liu Heng spoke faster, "Prime Minister, presumably you princes didn't mean to do this, so why don't you ask the reason." ”

Luo Xin said arbitrarily: "Your Majesty, the minister summoned these people from their mansion, and the result was such a gaffe, this is really too arrogant, if you don't train these people ruthlessly, how can you become the pillars of the country?"

According to the minister's opinion, these people should be sent back to the fiefdom of Shandong, so that they can guard the border and the people, so as to achieve after-effects. ”

Wuyang Hou and others never expected that they would be driven out of Chang'an City so easily, back then, the Liuhou Mansion was still because of the forcible seizure of the land of the common people, we were cheated by others, and the emperor lost his honor, which was too wronged.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, the ministers are wronged!"

Wuyang Hou and the others just shouted, and then they heard Liu Heng say: "Prime Minister, can it only be like this, they are all descendants of the founding heroes, although they have made big mistakes, but is the punishment too severe?" ”

Luo Xin said categorically: "The loss of honor in front of the monarch is not a small fault, this is a bad ideology, if it is not for the heirs of the founding heroes, the ministers will definitely punish them heavily, and now they are just driven back to the fiefdom, which is already a great grace, if they reform in the future, you think they are manufacturable materials, and naturally they can be called back." ”

Hearing Luo Xin's words, several people were completely desperate, the prime minister was determined to drive them out of Chang'an, and several people even began to think about what they had done.

After all, in the decades of the prime minister's reign, nothing like this has ever happened.

Liu Heng sighed softly and said to the few people who looked at each other: "Why don't you come over and thank the Prime Minister for his grace?" ”

Several people thanked Luo Xin with some grievances, and then they were taken out of the palace.

When they got out of the palace, these people realized afterwards: "Something is wrong, does the prime minister want to do something to us nobles?"

His old man has not stopped rectifying people all these years, and now that the princes and kings have been killed, several times in the Han Dynasty, only those of us can be his opponents. ”

Hearing this, the Marquis of Jiang was shocked and suspicious: "No, although the power of our noble families is very large, but compared with the great Cheng, it is the difference between the stars and the bright moon, unless the entire Chang'an City and the Marquis of the world are all united, how can he put us people in his eyes?" ”

Wuyang Hou said in a low voice: "The great prime minister naturally won't take us people in his eyes, but the big prime minister is not young, Anyang Hou is younger than the big prime minister, it's not that he has passed away, the big prime minister may be worried that we will be unfavorable to His Majesty, so he drove us out of Chang'an City in advance, just like the Liuhou family was driven out of Chang'an City back then, is it not the same that the Liuhou family is worried about the reputation of Your Majesty?" ”

The Marquis became even more suspicious, and then said: "But we are all His Majesty's most loyal courtiers, is there anyone else in this world who is qualified to be the emperor except His Majesty?"

How could the prime minister doubt us? ”

Jianghou's words made everyone nod in agreement, that's it, they may want to fight for power, maybe they want to show off their might, and maybe even have some illegal ideas, but the only thing they didn't think about was rebellion, and the only thing they didn't think about was to be bad for the emperor.

After decades of rule, as long as the Luo clan does not attempt to usurp the throne, the status of the Liu royal family is really as stable as Mount Tai.

Will Lowe usurp the throne?

No!

This is the idea of the vast majority of people, especially the actions of Luo Xin and Luo Yi brothers over the years, which has made this idea deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"What's the solution?

Our family is not like the Luo clan, or even the Xiang clan of the Chu State, countless generations have proved loyalty, and the prime minister will naturally doubt us.

But brothers, don't worry too much, it seems that the prime minister's move is to return to power, as long as Your Majesty holds power and we have Your Majesty's trust, we will be able to return to Chang'an. ”

The previous generation of Wuyang Hou was a careful reckless man, and this generation of Wuyang Hou did not inherit his father's bravery, but he had a heart full of eyes.

Hearing his words, everyone raised their eyes and glanced at the closed palace gate, and secretly said in their hearts: We must return here again and restore the glory of the family.

Afternoon.

A decree was issued from the palace, the content of the edict was very simple, and the Marquis of Wuyang and others lost their manners in front of the monarch, and immediately returned to the fiefdom to think about it behind closed doors.

No return to Chang'an without a will!

This decree spread throughout Chang'an City in an instant, and both the nobles and the common people discussed it.
