Chapter 53: The Great Han Chess Saint
"Dog, run slower, I'm really looking for a fight!"
Luo Jing heard this voice as soon as he walked into the corner of the palace gate, and then saw a man chasing people and beating him, Luo Jing frowned slightly when he saw this, but he still saluted and said, "Prince." ”
Although the royal succession law of the Han Dynasty is not clearly stipulated, it is deeply affected by the primogeniture inheritance system of the Zhou Dynasty, plus the two successive generations of emperors are the eldest sons, so this tradition was formed, Liu Heng is an emperor who does not break political rules unnecessarily, so he set up his eldest son Liu Qi as the crown prince very early.
"Dong Ahou."
When the crown prince saw Luo Jing, he stopped chasing and fighting, and the two of them left here without much talk.
Liu Qi doesn't like Luo Jing very much, because Liu Heng likes Luo Jing more than he likes him, and he often compares the two of them and scolds him for being reckless and incompetent.
Especially as the queen gets older, Liu Heng's love for the queen decreases, and in this regard, Liu Heng is definitely Liu Bang's own grandson, and Liu Ying is no different at all.
However, Liu Heng will never move the country because of his personal preferences, he has never thought about shaking the political status of the queen, although he is not very satisfied with the prince's irascible personality and thinks it is too reckless, but the overall opinion is not big, so Liu Qi's position as the crown prince is still as stable as Mount Tai.
Luo Jing didn't think much about it, the crown prince's temper is not a big problem, it is impossible for every king to be as benevolent and kind as Emperor Xiaohui, today's crown prince's ability is still good, not the kind of person who is mediocre and unknown, although it is far worse than His Majesty today, but it is completely enough to be the king of the prosperous world.
Walking into the palace, I saw that Emperor Liu Heng was dealing with government affairs, Liu Heng's age was getting older, and even because of years of hard work on state affairs, a little gray hair appeared in the temples, Luo Jing walked straight over and asked: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Xiongnu seem to have some changes, and there are riots in Nanxi Yi and Lingnan Yi?" ”
Liu Heng nodded lightly, he was an emperor who didn't like war very much.
Because every time I settle the account, the cost of war is too much, and the surrounding land has no value, so I put out the idea of directly using war to expand the territory.
His strategy of expanding the territory was to follow Luoxin's policy, not to conduct large-scale wars, but to move the population, arm immigrants, and control the intensity of the war within a small range.
It is best to be able to use the local system locally, just like the development of the Lingnan Kingdom, which does not consume the resources of the central dynasty, but achieves better results.
Of course, the main reason is that Liu Heng thinks that there is no enemy who can threaten the Han, and if that kind of enemy really appears, Liu Heng will not be soft either.
In the face of Luo Jing's inquiry, Liu Heng said: "There are several tribes of the Xiongnu who seem to have suffered disasters, so they led some people to plunder the border, but they have been repelled by the princes and kings of the border, there is no problem."
However, the rebellion in the southwest Yi was more serious, and the officials sent by the imperial court treated the local people harshly, and the Yi and Han people could not bear it, so they inspired the riots.
However, the rebels were temporarily blocked by the Marquis of Wuche in the southwest county, and now they are asking for help from the imperial court.
I have decided to send Zhou Yafu, the Marquis of Jiang, to lead 5,000 forbidden troops to the expedition, and at the same time recruit the soldiers and horses of each county and the army and horse population of the kingdom along the way.
To appease the local people and the people who migrated away, the officials who sat on the law died first, and the rest were all exiled, since they were not willing to be officials in the southwest, then go to Lingnan to be slaves. ”
Liu Heng's tone was very understated, he was different from Liu Ying's kindness and kindness in his character, to a certain extent, he was black to the extreme.
5,000 Praetorian Army.
This number is about one-fifth of the Chang'an Forbidden Army, even if there is an accident, it will not affect the overall situation, and the rebellion in Southwest Yi is essentially a riot, there is no need to send so many troops out of Chang'an.
Liu Heng's cautious character was vividly reflected in this matter, he put the fold in his hand on the table, and said with some emotion: "When I chose Zhou Yafu to go on the expedition, he was very excited, it seems that these heroes can't wait to start a war."
But I always remember what King Rowan once said, no matter how strong and rich a country is, it will decay in one war after another.
This is the reason for my restraint over the years.
If it is prosperous today, I can say that even among the three generations, it is rare to see such a prosperous era as it is now.
Every family has surplus food, which is the merit of three generations of emperors and two generations of regents, and I want this prosperity to continue. ”
Each emperor had his own governing philosophy, and compared with those exploits in expanding his territory, he cared more about making the world rich and prosperous, making the people of the Han Dynasty more prosperous and comfortable, less harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and less conscription and military service.
……
Liu Qi slipped out of the palace and went straight to the most lively market in Chang'an City, as the prince has some personal hobbies is very normal, Liu Qi's favorite thing is to play chess, but his level is not bad, but he is not good, but he is also more irritable, so that every time the palace people play chess with him, they secretly complain, for fear that something will happen if one is not careful.
Liu Qi arrived in Fang City, seeing people coming and going, there was a sense of endless flow, the chess shop in the Fang City was already full of people, with an excited smile on his face, and waved to a few guards who protected him: "Go, go with Gu to kill the Quartet." ”
Walking into the chess workshop, Liu Qi saw a group of people cheering loudly around a table, looking forward with some curiosity, and saw that it was two people playing chess, one side killed the other party without the power to parry, the most important thing is that the other person he knew, in this chess workshop is considered a master, Liu Qi looked at the person opposite, and was directly happy, it turned out to be Liu Wu, the prince of the king of Jiaodong.
"You've lost."
Liu didn't put down the chess pieces, he laughed a little rampantly, the man left the chess table a little helplessly, Liu Qi sat down directly, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect the crown prince to have this hobby, why haven't I heard you talk about it when I came to Chang'an before?" ”
Liu Qi didn't call him brother either, after all, the relationship between two people who were short-tempered would not be too good, Liu didn't expect to see Liu Qi here, and said when he heard the words: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, and it is not beneficial to the governance of national politics, it is not worth mentioning in front of His Majesty, what does the prince mean by this, you are also good at this?" ”
Liu Qi said: "It's just a little understanding, the crown prince is willing to play a game of chess." ”
The two had a conflict before, and Liu Qi didn't take advantage of it at that time, after all, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, who knew his position before he ascended the throne, was a tool used by the ministers of the court to brush up his reputation.
Liu Wei didn't give Liu Qi face at that time, and Liu Qi now wants to defeat Liu Wei and humiliate him fiercely.
This is not a coincidence.
Liu Wei also thought so, so the two of them immediately played chess, and the people around them didn't expect that the two in front of them had such a big background, although there were guards to stop them, but they still gathered around and looked curiously.
The royal family of the Han Dynasty was still relatively close to the people, or more down-to-earth.
Especially the people of Chang'an City, when it comes to wartime, they have to bring their own weapons to follow the imperial court, basically every year there are officials sent by the royal family to condole, plus the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, and he has always treated the people well, so he is not afraid of Liu Qi and Liu Wu Such royal children.
Liu Qi and Liu didn't have the same thoughts, and then the two began to strangle each other on the chessboard, both of them were very serious, and even had to think about a hand of chess, especially after gradually falling into a stalemate, the people around them even began to hold their breath.
The two of them are really chess opponents, the level is roughly the same, the play is quite high, and even their faces are red.
It was a few more moves, and then Liu Qi chuckled in his heart, secretly saying that it was not good, he made a mistake in a key chess hand, Liu did not decisively grasp the flaw is a burst of indiscriminate killing, Liu Qi completely fell into the disadvantage, with the two of them at the same level to this extent, it can be said that the defeat has been decided.
Liu Qi was angry in his heart, and he was very unconvinced, and then he heard Liu Wu's swishing voice sound, "Prince, this game of chess is lost, and the minister suggests that you should admit defeat directly, otherwise it will be too ugly to lose for a while, isn't it a beautiful thing?" ”
After speaking, he laughed, these words were naked mocking him in Liu Qi's ears, Liu Qi originally thought that it was his own negligence, not his poor chess skills, so that the current situation appeared, he was short-tempered, and when he saw that Liu Wu, the prince of a prince and a prince dared to mock him, he had been on the top for so long.
"Ahh
The chessboard in this chess workshop is made of iron, and this smashing down is like a hammer directly smashing over, Liu didn't have a frightened face, only screamed and lost his breath directly, this sudden change suddenly shocked everyone, never expected that the two people who had just played chess, and in an instant, such a big prince and prince would be gone.
"Huh."
At this moment, everyone around before dispersed, and the guards responsible for protecting Liu Wei were directly dumbfounded, and the figure of a boy in brocade clothes was revealed, pointing at Liu Qi and saying sadly: "In broad daylight, you dare to kill the crown prince directly, even if you are the crown prince, I will definitely go to Your Majesty to join you, and see if there is a royal law in this Han Dynasty!" ”
Liu Qiyi killed Liu Wei on the chessboard, his heart was happy, and when he heard the little white face speak, he immediately threw the chessboard in his hand and smashed it directly on the person's face, and the boy was full of shock, and he also died under the chessboard.
This time, the guards who were in a daze reacted, but the opposite side was the prince, and they didn't dare to do anything, so they could only watch Liu Qi take the palace guards away.
