Under the deliberate suppression of the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager Dou, the royal scandal that should have caused an uproar was like a stone thrown into the lake, and there were no ripples in an instant.

I don't know what kind of psychology it was, Liu Wu, the king of Chu, who committed a heinous crime, not only did not feel worried about the crime he committed, but instead took the king's car and was summoned to Chang'an City.

After Liu Wu arrived in Chang'an City, nothing worth paying attention to happened;

——On the day Liu Wu arrived in Chang'an, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, met with Liu Wu, the king of Chu, in the Xuanshu Palace.

During the interview, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, did not mention a word about the 'guilt' of Liu Wu, the king of Chu;

only said some clichés such as 'to care for the people of our country' and 'to be diligent in political country', and asked Liu Wu to go to Changle Palace to meet the Queen Mother.

When Liu Wu arrived at Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager Dou only dismissed the palace people, and verbally criticized Liu Wu, the king of Chu, in private, and drank and had fun during the Empress Dowager's funeral.

After Liu Wu casually gave a 'I didn't receive the news of the death of the Empress Dowager at that time', this kind of perfunctory explanation that can be seen through at a glance, the Empress Dowager Dou did not pursue much;

made a 'don't take an example' instruction to Liu Wu, and asked Liu Wu to prepare to prepare, before returning to Chu State, go to the Taishang Emperor Temple, Emperor Gao Temple, and Xiantaizong Temple to pay tribute to the ancestors of the Liu family.

At this point, the matter of Liu Wu, the king of Chu, being summoned to Chang'an for his crimes, seems to have turned the page.

That jaw-dropping, even enough to make people and gods angry, seems to have been buried in Liu Wu's heart since then.

But just as Liu Wu set off from Chang'an again and embarked on the long journey back to Chu, in the distant Wu State, an old figure over sixty years old finally let out a serpent-like neigh······

·

In the summer and June of the second year of the Son of Heaven, the capital of Wu State: Guangling.

The dying old King of Wu, Liu Bi, stood outside the main hall of his palace, his hands behind his back, and his eyes looked to the far west.

On Liu Bi's side, there was a sanctimonious and sanctimonious person, but in his temperament, there was a faint hint of a ruthless figure······

"King Chu, really went to Chang'an······"

"—not only went, but even left Chang'an unharmed;"

"In another month at most, the King of Chu will return to Pengcheng·········"

A low sigh provoked the man next to him to nod his head with a stern face, and then saw Wu Wang Liu Bi slowly turn around, looking at the man with a sigh on his face.

"It should be high~"

"The emperor of Chang'an, I'm afraid, I really can't tolerate me anymore······"

"In order to get rid of me, even the ugly things that Liu Wu did, Chang'an, can already be ignored·······"

Hearing this, Dr. Wu Guozhong shook his head and sighed bitterly, but finally had to nod his head slowly.

"It is indeed as the king said."

"We revealed such ugly things to Chang'an, and we didn't make the emperor of Chang'an angry;"

"I'm afraid that if it is a knife to cut the domain, it will only cut the head of our Wu country, which is the only one clan prince on the head······"

Hearing this, Wu Wang Liu Bi couldn't help but shake his head again and sigh, and his face was full of wry smiles.

Liu Bi, King of Wu, was born in the sixth year of the First Emperor of Qin, that is, in the thirty-second year of the reign of King Qin.

This year, Liu Bi is 61 years old.

At this age, let alone put it in the people, even in the aristocracy, and even in the royal family like Liu Bi, it can definitely be regarded as a longevity.

- You must know that even Emperor Taizu Gao, Liu Bang, only lived to be sixty-two years old;

Liu Ying, the emperor of filial piety, died young at the age of twenty-two;

Emperor Liu Heng, the former Taizong Xiaowen Emperor, only lived to be forty-six years old.

Compared with these clan elders and peers, the sixty-one-year-old Wu King Liu Bi is obviously very long-lived.

But even at this age, Liu Bi still hasn't been able to let go of the 'past' that made the world secret······

"It's a pity~"

"Therefore, Anhou Shen Tujia has lived to the present;"

"If there is no Shen Tujia, the crimes we revealed to Chao Cuo alone should be able to win us the support of at least ten clan princes."

"It's a pity that Shen Tujia is old and doesn't die, and by the emperor's side in Chang'an, it spoils our good deeds······"

The slightly regretful words caused Ying Gao on the side to nod again, and there was a touch of resentment on his face.

Regarding today's internal history, the attitude of the vast majority of the clan princes in the Kanto region is naturally that they can't sleep on their skin and eat their flesh;

But only for Liu Bi, the king of Wu, the existence of Chao Cuo is like a time bomb planted by the heavens, beside Liu Qi, the son of heaven.

In order to 'help' Chao Cuo, he wantonly cut the feudal domain, and pushed all the clan princes and princes in the world to the opposite side of Chang'an.

- including Liu Bi himself;

It was not until the beginning of this year that the Xiongnu delegation returned from Chang'an, so that Liu Bi finally felt the signs of the coming storm, and then handed over the criminal evidence of the clan relatives and princes that he had personally collected in the past few years to Chao Cuo's hands in a channel that would not be noticed.

Of course, including Liu Wu, the king of Chu, made a shocking scandal.

In Liu Bi's opinion at that time, after obtaining these criminal evidence, Chao Cuo would inevitably be overjoyed, and then he spared no effort to cut the feudal domain, so as to push all the clansmen and princes in the eastern part of the country into his arms.

But the final result was really a bit unexpected by Liu Bi······

"In this way, I am afraid there will not be too many clan princes who can cause trouble with us······"

"Therefore, none of the few families who still have a chance to fight for it can no longer give up!"

In the melancholy, he was full of decisive words, which also provoked Ying Gao on the side!

Secretly thought about it for a while, but with a stern expression, he took two steps forward and bowed to Liu Bi.

"The King;"

"The incriminating evidence we provided to Chao Cuo, even if it didn't make the emperor of Chang'an angry for the time being, it would only be a matter of time before the clansmen and princes of the Kwantung clan were punished."

"The difference is only that: today's Chang'an court, under the suppression of the old thief Shen Tujia, has temporarily put aside the other clan princes and intends to concentrate on dealing with the king alone."

"But even so, the king can still tell those clan princes about these things;"

"Especially the princes of Qi and Huainan."

"-The truth that the skin does not exist, and Mao will be attached, presumably they will not fail to understand ······"

Hearing Ying Gao's words, Wu Wang Liu Bi's face immediately swelled with indifference.

With a slight wave of his hand, he saw that Liu Bi, the king of Wu, looked at the west, and once again brought the previous profundity.

"The Qi system and the Huainan system have all broken their backbones;"

"Even if they were willing to join the widows, they wouldn't be able to help much."

"If they're willing to do something, that's certainly the best; But if they don't want to, the widow will not feel sorry. ”

"What the widow really cares about is the King of Chu and the King of Zhao······"

Speaking of this, Liu Bi couldn't help but smile, and his eyebrows were also full of banter.

"Liu Wu, the king of Chu, has ruined the reputation of the king of Yuan, and Liu Wu, the king of Chu Yuan, has not learned the virtue of Liu Jiao."

"Since you dare to do such an ugly thing, Liu Wu will definitely not stay out of it."

"—Even if he doesn't want to, the widow has a way to let him raise the army obediently."

"But King Zhao has made the widow a little worried······

Speaking of this, Liu Bi finally turned around and walked towards the palace behind him with strong steps.

walked to the throne and sat down, and when Ying Gao also sat down beside him, Liu Bi finally let out a long sigh leisurely.

"Alas······"

"I think back then, I was also a brave man whom Emperor Taizu Gao was proud of and praised by the government and the opposition both inside and outside."

"Even the Empress Dowager Lu at that time once praised the widow, and she was the only one among the Liu clan who could be entrusted with big things."

"It is precisely with this ability that the martial arts of King Yingbu of Huainan were pacified, and the widow was able to be sealed to this wild land of Jingwu by Emperor Taizu Gao."

"——In order to guard against Zhao Tuo in the south, and the foreign vassals in the south of the East China Sea and Minyue."

"But after the death of the Empress Dowager Lu, the side branch into the line of the successor sect is really too deceitful······"

"Even the widowed crown prince has been stoned to death on the streets of Chang'an by now, the villain who is crowned by the monkey and commands the world in Weiyang Palace······

Speaking of sadness, Liu Bi, the king of Wu in the year of the sixtieth year, is already an old tearful look;

In front of Liu Bi, Ying Gao, who heard Liu Bi's words, secretly thought about King Zhao.

According to the previous plan of Liu Bi and Ying Gao, Liu Wu, the king of Chu, will inevitably be punished by Chang'an Ming because of that scandal!

In addition, the princes of the Qi and Huainan departments will also be cut and sealed by Chang'an because of various crimes.

For example, Liu Wei, the king of Jiaoxi, was charged with privately buying and selling officials;

Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, was charged with raising dead soldiers and secretly hiding armor in the palace;

And the crime of Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, is undoubtedly second only to Liu Wu, the king of Chu, among the princes of each clan.

——Secretly communicating with the Huns, with ill intentions!!

And these charges ······

"The King."

With an idea in his heart, Ying Gao tentatively opened his mouth, interrupting Liu Bi, the king of Wu, and his thoughts about the dead crown prince Liu Xian.

When Liu Wei looked at himself with teary eyes, he couldn't help but put a relaxed smile on his face.

"The King;"

"The guilt of the princes of each clan has been revealed to Chao Cuo, and Chao Cuo will definitely hand over these incriminating evidence to the emperor of Chang'an."

"Right now, although the emperor of Chang'an has not attacked, since these crimes are in the hands of the emperor of Chang'an, these charges will sooner or later be given to the clansmen and princes in Kanto, summoning a catastrophe of family ruin!"

"As for Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, he privately traded with the Huns, and sold copperware, salt tea, and even weapons to the Huns that were expressly forbidden by the court, this is true;"

"Even now, Emperor Chang'an does not punish the crime, he will definitely use this in the future to cut the land of Zhao State, and even directly depose the throne of King Zhao."

"Therefore, the minister thinks that the king should immediately send a lobbyist to persuade King Zhao: instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, it is better to strike first!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bi's face immediately swelled with a touch of thought;

After a while, I saw Liu Bi nodding his head slowly, and looked at Ying Gao with a little doubt.

"Sending lobbyists?"

"——Qing means that Qing is unwilling to persuade King Zhao for the widow?"

But seeing that Ying Gao heard this, he only shook his head calmly and said goodbye to Liu Bi.

"It is not difficult to persuade King Zhao."

"As long as someone tells King Zhao: Emperor Chang'an knows about the affairs between King Zhao and the Huns, King Zhao will inevitably agree to raise troops and rise up with the king."

"As for the ministers, I'm afraid I have to go to Jiaoxi to win the support of Liu Wei, the king of Jiaoxi, for the king······"

The gentle words made Liu Bi's face even more puzzled.

"Jiaoxi Kingdom?"

A soft inquiry full of doubts provoked Ying Gao and smiled, and put his opinion in front of Liu Wei without reservation.

"The king just said that as long as the king of Chu and the king of Zhao are willing to make trouble, the king will no longer worry; Whether the Qi and Huainan families have an incident or not, the king doesn't care at all. ”

"But what the king didn't expect was that the reason why the Qi family was broken was because in the past, the line of King Hui of Qi, who was rich in seventy-three cities in Qi, was divided into seven small countries by Chang'an."

"Taken separately, these seven small countries really don't have much to come out;"

"But if someone can unite these seven small countries, it will still be a help to the king that should not be underestimated······

The orderly and seductive voice made Liu Bi's face show a little doubt, and Ying Gao hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Liu Wei, the king of Jiaoxi, although he is not high in the Qi lineage, is powerful, brave, and very belligerent!" ”

"I heard that all the princes of the Qi clan are very afraid of Liu Wei, the king of Jiaoxi, and they will always obey Liu Wei's proposals."

"If Liu Wei is willing to support the king, then most of the other six families in the Qi family will also support the king."

"In this way, the unity of the Qi family is no less powerful than that of the King of Chu and the King of Zhao;"

"For the king's affairs, it can be of great help······

Hearing this, Liu Bi secretly thought for a long time;

In the end, he looked at Ying Gao with a little hesitation.

"But the Chang'an court did not take away the fiefdom of any of the Qi families;"

"Including Liu Wei, the king of Jiaoxi, he has not been punished in any way for buying and selling officials and lords without permission."

"Recently, there was even news from Chang'an that the emperor intends to reward the Qi Department in the name of 'remembering King Qi and Mourning Hui'."

"Doctor Zhong went to persuade Liu Wei, I'm afraid, I can't succeed, right?"

But when he saw Ying Gao's words, he shook his head and smiled firmly.

Looking at Liu Bi's eyes, he was full of confidence.

"The king doesn't know."

"——Liu Wei, the king of Jiaoxi, has always been violent and violent, and he only knows how to fight and kill all day long, and he never knows what the strategy is."

"At the beginning of the year, when the Huns attacked the borderlands, Liu Wei even wrote to Chang'an, saying that he wanted to lead the army to resist the Huns' ······"

Saying that, Ying Gao couldn't help but sneer and shook his head: "According to Liu Wei's temperament, when he learns that Emperor Chang'an has mastered his own crimes, he will definitely immediately think of raising troops." ”

"It's just that with the power of King Jiaoxi alone, it can't compete with Chang'an at all;"

"And under the premise that the king takes the initiative and Chu and Zhao respond at the same time, Liu Wei will definitely have the courage to persuade the Qi family to raise troops together."

"If Liu Wei really intends to persuade the Qi system, the king can even make a promise: after the matter is completed, the entire Kanto region will be sealed to the Qi department."

"-Of course, whether this promise is kept or not is still in the king's thoughts."

"In this way, with Liu Wei's personal persuasion, coupled with the king's promise, the seven kings of Qi should be able to join the king's grand cause."

"And the united Seven Kings of the Qi lineage, even for the Chang'an court, I'm afraid, is a force that should not be underestimated······"

Hearing the end, Liu Bi finally nodded with satisfaction, and agreed to Ying Gao's proposal.

Seeing Ying Gao smiled and arched his hand, he continued: "It is the three kings of the Huainan system who are dispensable allies as the king said. ”

"Since the incident of King Li of Huainan, the three kings of the Huainan system have never had the courage to disobey Chang'an;"

"Even King Li's death didn't make these three people hate Chang'an."

"Therefore, for the Huainan system, the king can send some people at will to try to persuade them;"

"If there is anyone who is willing to support the king, then the king will bring it, and if no one supports the king, it is not a big deal."

"Anyway, after the incident, the king will go north first, join forces with the Chu State, and bring the Qi system by the way, and then go west in the direction of Hangu Pass."

"The role of King Zhao is to try to lure the Huns to knock on the border wall and attract the attention of Chang'an;"

"And the Huainan system, in the matter of the king, can't provide any help at all······"

Ying Gao's words fell, Liu Bi finally nodded with satisfaction, took out a token with a smile, and handed it to Ying Gao's hand.

"Since this is the case, then I will bother Dr. Zhong and go to Jiaoxi in person."

"As for King Zhao's side, it is up to the widow to choose someone who can speak well to persuade King Zhao."

"When King Zhao agrees to start an incident, the widow will start to prepare······"

"Doctor Zhong is here, be sure to hurry up."

"—The autumn harvest is not far off;"

"As soon as the autumn harvest is over, the widow's inscription will be sent to all parts of the world."

"At that time, if the Qi family hasn't made up their minds, then the widow will definitely not wait for them any longer."

Hearing Liu Bi's words, Ying Gao also took away the relaxed look on his face, solemnly accepted the token handed by Liu Bi, and bowed to Liu Bi again.

When he was ordered to leave, Liu Bi reappeared on the high platform outside the palace, looking at the far west, unwilling to withdraw his gaze.

"Liu Qi ······"

"Hey ······"

"The widow has been waiting for this day for twenty years······"

"The emperor's position, it should be very comfortable to sit, right?"

"My son Liu Xian's life should also be paid for by blood······"
