Chapter 54: Abolish the Prince, Please!
The Imperial City of the Han Dynasty, Changle Palace.
The sunlight fell into front of the temple door, but there was no warmth, the dust was clear in the light, the hall was silent, the heavy atmosphere shrouded everything, this glimmer of light blew with the wind, the temple door creaked and slowly closed, completely disappeared.
In the silent hall, even if a needle fell on the ground, it could be clearly heard, but there was no sound at all, and even the breathing was forcibly restrained, and he did not dare to make a loud noise.
Even if the owner of the palace has always been merciful!
Only a few people crouched in the hall, their faces were full of tears, it was obvious that they had just cried, these people were the retinues of the former prince of Jiaodong, the lord died in the hands of the crown prince, they naturally wanted to enter the palace to complain.
Liu Heng sat on the top, and there was no expression on his face, if anyone who was familiar with him knew that he was extremely angry.
"Squeak."
The door of the temple was pushed open, and the sunlight poured in again, and everyone looked sideways at the temple gate, wanting to know who was so unlucky to do such an unfortunate thing at this time.
Dong Ahou!
Everyone in the hall suddenly felt relieved, and even the stagnant air began to flow again.
Luo Jing didn't seem to feel these atmospheres, he walked straight to Liu Heng, and then, as usual, bowed down to greet him, Liu Heng's expressionless face finally showed a little warmth.
After about dozens of breaths, Jia Yi also walked in from outside the hall, he was not as calm as Luo Jing, he lowered his head slightly, cautious, even if he deliberately followed Luo Jing before entering, Jia Yi also didn't want to provoke unwarranted disasters at such a time.
Although with his status, he didn't take Liu Qi, the prince, very seriously in the past, and even used Liu Qi to brush up his reputation, but that was usual, but now it's not!
"Bang!"
Liu Heng threw down the cup on the table heavily, and a crisp and loud cracking sound suddenly sounded, and even a few eunuchs were injured by fragments, but no one dared to squeak, only heard Liu Heng's roar resounding through the hall: "What a wicked obstacle this is!" He actually killed the princes, princes, and princes in broad daylight, and killed the princes, lawless! ”
"Your Majesty is angry!"
Luo Jing and Jia Yi had nothing to say about this matter, they could only say a word of nonsense and persuade Liu Heng to calm their anger, but both of them were naturally extremely dissatisfied with the crown prince Liu Qi in their hearts, and it was really too bad this time.
Today and before the Tuien split the country is completely different, there was a great antagonism between the royal family and the princes and kings, and the two sides can even be regarded as enemies to some extent, if in that case, the crown prince kills the princes and princes, the emperor is estimated to feel dark in his heart, and there is a high probability that he will be saved.
But after Tuien and the split country, between the royal family and the princes and kings, the main thing is a harmonious coexistence, and the Tuien and the split country have some political commitments, that is, the glory and wealth must at least ensure that Liu Heng has achieved such great achievements over the years, and the cooperation of various kingdoms is inseparable, and now it is smashed by Liu Qiyi's chessboard.
Liu Qidang killed the crown prince of the king of Jiaodong, and also killed the son of the Duke of Qi, which is simply outrageous, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has been no such outrageous and vicious incident.
Liu Heng calmed down a little, and then said: "Envoys, go back first, I will definitely give an explanation to King Jiaodong and Duke Qi." ”
Several people looked at each other a few times, and then slowly withdrew from the main hall, the palace people also left from both sides, only Liu Heng was left in the hall, Liu Heng's body collapsed suddenly, and said quite angrily: "What a sinful obstacle, I only thought he was short-tempered, but never thought that such a thing would happen, did he think that his position as the crown prince was really as stable as Mount Tai?" ”
Luo Jing and Jia Yi didn't say anything about this, but not speaking is an attitude, and it should be persuasive normally, but now silence means the same thought.
Liu Heng had some realization in his heart, and knew that the two important ministers in front of him were very dissatisfied with the crown prince Qi.
If you want to say that the crown prince's position is stable, then you have to say that Liu Ying, the filial piety emperor of the year, the Lu family, the Luo family, and the founding hero group joined forces to support the founding emperor Liu Bang and directly gave up the idea of changing the prince, and only wanted to save Liu Ruyi's life.
That's how stable the status is!
What about Liu Qi?
Emperor Liu Heng didn't like him very much, and his mother and wife were not strong enough to compete with the emperor.
His only advantage is the eldest son, and generally speaking, the Luo family will still support the eldest son, after all, this transfer of power is the most stable.
The problem is that Liu Qi has a general relationship with Luo's son, Luojing, the only one who currently exists in Chang'an, and he has done such an almost immoral incident.
As a result, Luo Jing did not support him, and the advantage of the eldest son weakened a large part.
Liu Heng slowly frowned, the idea of changing the crown prince flashed in his heart again, he put away his anger, and muttered: "Prime Minister, what consequences may be caused by the crown prince's revelations, I want to hear your opinion." ”
didn't ask Luo Jing because Liu Heng knew Luo Jing's thoughts, and Jia Yi understood that his words might even decide that Liu Qi's position as crown prince was still there.
Ordinary courtiers may not dare to participate in these things, but although Jia Yi is unwilling to mix with the storage position, he naturally has a heroic righteousness in his heart, and always has the ideal of serving the country and the people.
In his opinion, the crown prince Qi acted absurdly, had a tyrannical personality, and killed the princes and princes of Qi on the street, which was completely ignorant of the turmoil of the country's society.
Do you want to force the princely kingdoms to rebel and have a vigorous civil war?
The world has finally prospered, is it going to fall into endless war?
As a Confucian scholar who truly had the ambition of governing the country and leveling the world, Jia Yi's heart was stirred, and he immediately bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a few words, if there is any trespassing, please forgive your Majesty." ”
Liu Heng's face remained unchanged and said, "Prime Minister, please speak." ”
Jia Yi said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the minister once heard a story about a rabbit being killed by a hunter, and the fox who saw this scene was sad, and the other foxes asked, 'Why do you feel sad when the rabbit died?' ’
The fox said, 'Because if the hunter kills the rabbit today, he will kill us tomorrow, so I grieve, not for the sake of the rabbit, but for the sake of us to come.' ’”
Jia Yi said again: "In the past, the king of Wu and the king of Huainan rebelled, and the princes and kings of the world were ready to move, and the dukes and marquis of Qi sharpened their weapons in the fiefdom, fed the war horses, and recruited soldiers, so Qi was the most stable, which is the loyalty to the Han Dynasty."
If the loyal are allowed to give birth to two hearts, and the wicked are allowed to ascend to the high hall, can the world of the Han Dynasty still be so prosperous?
The minister thought that it would not be, you used mercy to govern the world, the princes and kingdoms supported the court to prosper, and those who sat on the law lost the country, you have been like this since you were in power, so the royal family and the children treated you respectfully.
The prince of Qi and the prince of Jiaodong came to Chang'an, isn't this a trust in you and loyalty to the imperial court?
It turned out to be a terrible death.
King Su once said: 'The king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard the king as his heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. ’
If you can't give an explanation to King Jiaodong and Duke Qi, it will not only be a matter of these two people, but also worry about the Han Society. ”
Jia Yi was born in Mengru, and he attaches great importance to the relationship between monarchs and ministers, and he does not have the idea that a king must be right, and this is the mainstream of this era.
Everybody is reasonable!
If the emperor is really unreasonable, he will lose the hearts of the people, and he may even lose the country.
"Ahem."
Luo Jing suddenly coughed twice, and Jia Yi stopped, he knew that this was Luo Jing reminding him that what he said was almost, and if he continued to talk about it, he should directly propose to abolish the prince.
This can be said, but not now, not Jia Yi alone, but to communicate with hundreds of officials first to create public opinion.
Abolishing the crown prince is not just a political event, if Liu Qi is deposed, he will inevitably die, which is equivalent to letting Liu Heng kill his own son with his own hands.
So the most important thing is to see what the emperor thinks, if the emperor is unwilling to abolish the crown prince, no matter how much he says, it will be useless.
Luo Jing guessed that Liu Heng could make up his mind, after all, in any way, Liu Qi's continued service as the crown prince would do more harm than good.
Although Jia Yi didn't say it, of course Liu Heng knew that this was to abolish the crown prince himself, and he muttered: "Prime Minister, what you said is the remarks of seeking the country, I will listen to your opinions carefully, you are the prime minister who reconciles yin and yang, and the general leader of the hundred officials, please collect the remarks of the hundred officials for me, the society of the Han Dynasty is on your shoulders." ”
After Jia Yi received the order, he sat back in his place, there was no fear in his heart, only excitement, he actually had a killer feature that he did not release, that is, the crown prince Qi once made dissatisfaction with Dong'a Hou Jing after drinking.
However, Jia Yi is not a conspirator after all, so he is not willing to come to this point as a last resort, he is still very clear, he is not Dongahou Luojing, who is full of trust by the emperor, the reason why the saint is now prosperous is because he has done his best in these years and has a noble character, and secondly, because he was recommended by King Luowen and named the talent of the prime minister who was left to the emperor.
Once he uses treacherous means to separate the imperial family, in the emperor's heart, he is not just a courtier who can be approached, and the gains and losses are really outweighed by doing so.
But if he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that others don't say it, Liu Qimou is not secret, and people with intentions have long been staring at his position as the crown prince, and these things have been pressed, just to give Liu Qi a ruthless moment at a critical moment.
It's just that I haven't had a chance, but I never expected that Liu Qi would give the knife out by himself, which made many people overjoyed.
Because of this incident, there was a storm in Chang'an City, and countless undercurrents were surging in it, and then they rushed to the imperial city!
