When the news of 'Tianhuo sows Luoyang' was transmitted to Chang'an, just half an hour later, the figure of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, appeared in the main hall of the Xuanyu of Weiyang Palace.

looked at the long-lost Tianzi Qi, who finally appeared in front of the imperial couch, and the ministers and officials who were called into the palace did not feel at ease.

Because with the Son of Heaven appeared, there was also the entire stargazing 'team' that the Han family now has, as well as all the 'astronomers' that could be found in a short period of time······

"A meteorite fell from the sky and fell on the East Palace of Luoyang Palace, burning down the palace walls and palace rooms!"

When the congregation came, Tianzi Qi only had a gloomy face and slowly got up from the imperial couch.

"Earlier, there were many abnormalities in the celestial phenomena, and I thought that it was my fault that caused the heavens to warn me with abnormal celestial phenomena;"

"But after I bathed and changed clothes, went to the temple to fast, and introspected, abnormal celestial phenomena still appeared one after another."

"——Now, there is a disaster in Luoyang Palace!"

The opening remarks were spoken loudly, and the eyes of the Son of Heaven full of worry were scattered to the 'astronomers' on the side of the hall.

"You are all scholars who have studied Yi and have insights into the stars and celestial phenomena;"

"Please also tell me: What does this abnormal celestial phenomenon symbolize?"

"—God, what do you want to tell me about these abnormal celestial phenomena, especially the disaster in Luoyang East Palace???"

With the sonorous and powerful voice of the Son of Heaven, it sounded in the huge Xuanshu Hall, but the dozens of 'astronomers' are you look at me, I look at you;

I couldn't see any valuable information from each other's faces, so they all bowed to the Son of Heaven.

After Tianzi Qi nodded his head with a calm face, everyone gathered around and exchanged opinions with each other.

After a long time, one of the old men finally stepped forward and bowed to the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty."

"According to the record of "Zhou Yi", the retrograde of the stars, the appearance of comets and meteors, or the advent of heavenly fire, all have their own general solutions."

"But these phenomena have appeared together in just a few months, but they are unprecedented."

"Ministers, don't dare to give an answer for Your Majesty easily······"

A loud voice uttered a word, and before the Son of Heaven could show his displeasure, he saw that the old man hurriedly continued: "But judging from the frequency and direction of these visions, there may be such a possibility. ”

As he spoke, the old man turned his head sideways and made eye contact with his peers;

When the peers around him nodded their heads, the old man turned around again and bowed goodbye to the Son of Heaven.

"Previously, the stars were retrograde, and comets and meteors appeared one after another, and the exact meaning may not be determined;"

"But the fire in Luoyang Palace, I'm afraid, is relatively obvious."

"——Luoyang Palace, which is the place where Emperor Taizu Gao inherited the throne and established Liu Han Guozuo;"

"Therefore, the heavenly fire descended on Luoyang Palace, which should imply: Liu Han Sheji and Guozuo, established by Emperor Taizu Gao, are facing the danger of subversion!"

"Again, it is this heavenly fire, which descended on the east hall of Luoyang Palace, not in other directions;"

"This may be able to show that the danger that my Han family is facing has appeared in the ······ East."

As soon as the old man said this, the courtiers and officials in the palace turned sideways one after another and talked to the people beside him.

A moment later, when the old man retreated, among the stargazers on the other side of the imperial staircase, an old figure dressed in a blue court robe and full of vicissitudes of life also walked out.

"Your Majesty."

"The ministers also believe that the heavenly fire in Luoyang Palace means that the Sheji established by Emperor Taizu Gao is encountering an unprecedented threat;"

"And this threat is exactly in the east of my Han family!"

"There is another point, which the minister can roughly perceive."

"——Nowadays, the clan princes of my Han family include Yan, Dai, and Zhao in the north, Qi, Chu, and Wu in the east, Liang and Huaiyang in the Central Plains, Huainan in the south, and some small countries split from Qi and Huainan, such as Jiaoxi, Jiaodong and other countries."

"Together, there are fifteen of these vassal states."

"And among the fifteen clan princes, there is only one person who was personally enthroned by Emperor Taizu Gao, and he is still alive."

"And this person's feudal kingdom is also located in the eastern ······ of my Han family."

As soon as these words came out, the conversation in the hall only quietly stopped, and in an instant, it was quiet to the point where the needle could be heard.

On the royal steps, Tianzi Qi only sat back on the imperial couch thoughtfully, bowed his head and pondered for a long time.

In the end, Tianzi Qi slowly raised his head and looked at the old star official who opened his mouth to play.

"Qing means ······"

"-Wu Wang Liu Bi?"

The Son of Heaven asked in a deep voice, but the old star official did not answer;

only silently bowed to the Son of Heaven, and then went backwards and returned to the position where he was standing before.

It was only at this time that Tianzi Qi finally reacted: the stargazing officer is only responsible for taking turns to observe the changes in the sky and the stars, and in principle, he does not express his views on the government.

But the old star official's previous words had already been said very clearly.

- Liu Bang, Emperor Taizu Gao, first at the beginning of the founding of the country, divided several princes with different surnames, and then banned the order of princes with different surnames, and changed to govern the Kanto region with clan princes.

At that time, Liu Bang's feudal princes and today's princes were not the same for a long time.

- Liu Bang's King of Yan, his eighth son, Liu Jian, the king of Yanling, who died for many years due to the persecution of the Empress Dowager Lu;

King Zhao, who was divided by Liu Bang, is a famous tragic protagonist in history: the third son of Emperor Liu Bang of Taizu, Liu Ruyi, King of Zhao Yin.

As for the acting king, it is even more important - it is Liu Heng, the emperor of Xiaowen of the former Taizong!

This is the case with Yan, Dai, and Zhao, and the situation is basically similar in other countries.

Liu Bang's King of Liang is Liu Hui, the fifth son of the emperor;

Later, he was transferred to the title of King Zhao by Empress Dowager Lu, and committed suicide and martyrdom for: King Zhao Gong.

The king of Huainan who was entitled by Liu Bang was Liu Chang, the seventh son of the emperor;

At the time of the first emperor, because he was suspected of rebellion, he was exiled to Bashu, and starved to death in the prisoner car on the way.

As for the country of Changsha in the south, not to mention.

——Liu Bang's lineage of the Wu family, the king of Changsha, is now extinct!

Now the Son of Heaven will crown his sons as kings, and Changsha, the only prince with a different surname in the Han family, will also be officially transformed into a clan prince.

From now on, there will never be a group of 'princes with different surnames' in the Han family.

Yan, Dai, and Zhao in the north, Liang in the Central Plains, Huainan and Changsha in the south, and the rest are only Qi, Chu, and Wu in the east.

Among these three vassal states, Liu Bang's earliest king of Qi was his eldest son Liu Fei;

And now, the throne left by Liu Fei, the king of Qi Mourning, has passed through Liu Xiang, the son of Liu Fei, and Liu Ze, the son of Liu Xiang, and Liu Ze, the son of Liu Xiang, to the fourth generation of today: Liu Fei's eighth son, Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi.

This is due to the fact that during the reign of Emperor Taizong, the grandson of Liu Fei, the king of mourning and the son of Liu Xiang, the king of Qiwen, died without leaving an heir;

The State of Qi, which should have been 'eliminated from the country', was also handed over by the first emperor to the uncle of Liu Ze, the king of Wen, and the eighth son of Liu Fei, the king of Qi, Liu Jianglu.

As for the State of Chu, Liu Bang was the first to be sealed by his younger brother Liu Jiao.

Now, the throne of the King of Chu has also passed through Liu Jiao, the king of Chu Yuan, and Liu Yingke, the king of Chuyi, to Liu Jiao's grandson: Liu Wu.

Only Wu Guo!

Only Liu Bi, the king of Wu, is the first generation of King Wu who was personally enshrined by Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang and has survived to this day!

In this way······

"Your Majesty!"

Just as Tianzi Qi was sitting on the imperial couch, bowing his head and thinking about this direction, how much persuasiveness there was, a loud call sign suddenly sounded in the courtier train!

When Tianzi Qi raised his head, he saw Prime Minister Shen Tujia, whose eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were black and blue, and his face was still full of fatigue and weakness, and he actually stood up first!

Then, under the surprised gaze of the courtiers and officials, Shen Tujia came to the center of the hall step by step;

Turning sideways, taking a deep breath, tidying up his clothes again, he slowly bowed his hand to Tianziqi······

"Prime Minister Anhou Shen Tujia, there is a performance!"

A call full of anger provoked the courtiers and officials in the palace, as well as the stargazers and astronomers on both sides of the imperial staircase!

It was the Son of Heaven on the royal couch, and when he looked at Shen Tujia, there was also a faint look of doubt.

- At this time, it's inconvenient for the prime minister to speak, right?

When such a question appeared in the minds of everyone in the hall, including Tianzi Qi, Shen Tujia looked at Tianzi Qi's gaze, but a resolute look suddenly surged up.

"Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was crowned king by Emperor Taizu Gao in the eleventh year of Emperor Taizu Gao, because of the attack on the rebellious Huainan King Yingbu and the accumulation of merits!"

"And at that time, Chen, happened to be there!"

In the puzzled eyes of everyone in the hall, such a surprising sentence was said, and Shen Tujia stood up proudly.

"Before being crowned king, Emperor Taizu Gao once said: In the land of Jingchu, the people are fierce, and a strong clan must be the king to ensure stability;"

"But at that time, most of the sons of Emperor Taizu Gao were not yet in their prime."

"Liu Fei, the only adult eldest son of the emperor, was also named King of Qi as early as the year when Emperor Taizu Gao established the Han family."

"In desperation, Emperor Taizu Gao finally adopted the suggestion of the Marquis of Biyang, and named Liu Bi, the eldest son of Liu Xi, the king of Daiqing, as the king of Wu, and ruled over the three counties of Wu, a full fifty-three cities."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall finally recovered from the horror of 'Cheng expressed his opinion on the anomaly of the celestial phenomena';

After a little recollection of Shen Tujia's words, the faces of everyone in the hall became a little exciting.

"Feng Liu Bi as the ······ of King Wu"

"-It's actually Biyang Hou's proposal to judge him?"

"This ·········"

For a while, everyone in the hall looked at each other, and they all had a look of horror.

The Marquis of Biyang tried to eat it, who is that?

The number one traitor around Empress Dowager Lu!

To this day, there are even some 'secret lucks' between the trial and the Empress Dowager Lu in the market.

In that year, the first emperor inherited the throne from Daidi to Chang'an, and summoned his only surviving younger brother, Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, to Chang'an;

As a result, Liu Chang arrived in Chang'an, and if he didn't agree with him, he tried and ate the Marquis of Biyang, and hammered him to death on the street outside his mansion!

The result?

- Not so much!

Regarding Liu Chang's move to kill and judge him, not only did no one inside and outside the government and the opposition feel that it was wrong, but many people praised Liu Chang and said that this is to eliminate harm for the people!

Even the first emperor Liu Heng simply asked Liu Chang a few words, but he didn't do much to investigate.

Co-author Liu Bi was named King of Wu, is it his suggestion?

Realizing this, everyone hurriedly straightened their waists and surrendered their focused eyes to Shen Tujia, the prime minister in the center of the hall.

As expected, Shen Tujia's next words were even more powerful than the previous sentence of 'judging and recommending Liu Bi as the king of Wu'······

"When Liu Bi was named the king of Wu, Emperor Taizu Gao once asked people to face Liu Bi;

"Unexpectedly, the person who met was bought by Liu Bi in advance, and he didn't tell the truth in front of Emperor Taizu Gao."

"After Liu Bi was officially named King of Wu, there was a person who was good at face-to-face by Emperor Taizu Gao and told Emperor Taizu Gao: Liu Bi's face is a person who will rebel, and he will have the appearance of a tiger and a wolf!"

Rumble!!!

Shen Tujia said a word, and in the Xuanshu Palace, the hall was full of surprise!

It was the Son of Heaven on the royal couch, and his eyebrows couldn't help revealing a little shock, as well as a little scrutiny.

"That's the case?!"

"Since Emperor Taizu Gao knows about this, why did he want to crown Liu Bi as the king of Wu?"

Xu heard the question in his ears, and Shen Tujia didn't stop for long, so he continued: "Hearing that the person who is good at face-to-face said that Liu Bi is a rebellious face, Emperor Taizu Gao regrets it very much; ”

"But the edict has been issued, and the Wang seal has been handed over to Liu Bi, and it is too late to recover it."

"So, Emperor Taizu Gao called Liu Bi to his side and asked: Fifty years after the Han Dynasty, in the southeast of my Han family, there will be people who will raise troops to make trouble, is it you?"

Liu Bi didn't answer, and Emperor Taizu Gao said again: People with the same surname in the world are all family; Ling is a relative of the Liu family, and all the Liu family members are relatives. ”

"If you are still alive after the fifty years of the Han Dynasty, and the emperor is still Liu, then don't rebel······"

As Shen Tujia's gradually mournful tone fell, the courtiers and officials in the palace were already dumbfounded.

No one questioned the authenticity of this past at all.

——When Emperor Taizu Gao, Shen Tujia was precisely the personal guard of Emperor Taizu Gao!!

When Liu Bi was named King of Wu, Shen Tujia, who was the county guard of Huaiyang at the time, was also following Emperor Taizu Gao to quell the rebellion of King Yingbu of Huainan!

The time and characters are right, and there is no need to doubt the authenticity of the words.

The reason is very simple: Shen Tujia is the prime minister of the dynasty.

When he is the prime minister, he will not lie to the Son of Heaven in front of the ministers and officials······

"Hiss~"

"Fifty years after the Han Dynasty, there was a rebellion in the southeast······"

Thinking of this, among the people in the hall, the few people who reacted quickly had already begun to count with their fingers.

Emperor Taizu Gao was 12 years, Emperor Xiaohui was 7 years, Empress Dowager Lu was in power for 8 years, and Emperor Taizong Xiaowen was 23 years old······

Together, exactly fifty years!

In other words······

"Emperor Taizu Gao's prophecy is that fifty years after the Han Dynasty, there will be a rebellion in the southeast······"

"And Your Majesty, it is the fiftieth year of the Han Dynasty, and after the death of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, the ········· of the succession to the throne"

Thinking like this, everyone in the hall quietly turned their heads sideways and cast their meaningful gazes on the Tianzi Qi on the royal couch.

- Emperor Taizu Gao, it has been made very clear!

——After the Son of Heaven ascends the throne, there will definitely be a rebellion in the southeast!

Moreover, the 'exclusive face of the rebel' of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was also the first to be seen by Emperor Taizu Gao!

In addition, right now, this day is sowing fire in Luoyang and burning down Luoyang East Palace······

"Could it be that the abnormal celestial phenomena during this period of time are really God's reminder to me: Liu Bi, the king of Wu, is he planning to cause trouble to my Han family?"

In the silence, Tianzi Qi's low inquiry sounded, causing everyone in the hall to raise their heads in unison;

Seeing the center of the Xuanshu Palace, Prime Minister Shen Tujia slowly straightened up and bowed to the Son of Heaven.

"The warning from heaven could not be more obvious······

"Your Majesty is reflecting on the Taimiao, but it has attracted more and more violent abnormal celestial phenomena;"

"—This is exactly what God is telling Your Majesty: Abnormal celestial phenomena are not due to Your Majesty's fault!"

"This is God telling Your Majesty, don't reflect on it in Taimiao anymore, hurry back to Weiyang Palace, and strangle the conspiracy of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, in advance!"

"Otherwise, when Liu Bi, the king of Wu, really rises up and makes a rebellion, it will inevitably bring unimaginable disasters to the world······"

With Shen Tu Jia's sonorous and powerful words, the face of the Son of Heaven couldn't help but swell with a look of true loneliness.

Seeing this, the courtiers and officials in the hall finally stopped hesitating, got up from their seats in order, and walked to the center of the hall.

Each found a good position behind Shen Tujia, and bowed to the Son of Heaven!

"Ministers, a hundred worships on death~"

"The ministers all think that what the prime minister said is very true;"

"I beg Your Majesty to follow the instructions of God and strangle the conspiracy of King Wu's thieves in advance······"

A neat sound of recital, but it caused Tianzi Qi to hesitate more and more;

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally saw Tianziqi shaking his head and sighing, and stood up from the imperial couch.

"King Wu Liu Bi is the elder of my Liu clan;"

"Even if there is a mistake, as a junior, I am not too strict."

"But God has such a warning, and I can't do without measures······"

"Hmmm······"

"-Then, according to the previous proposal of Nei Shi Chao, the two counties of Huiji and Yuzhang of Wu State will be cut down as punishment."

"As long as King Wu is willing to repent, the two counties that have been cut down can be reclassified into the fiefdom of Wu."

Hearing Liu Qi's words, the faces of the courtiers and officials in the palace were stunned, and their eyes were a little strange when they looked left and right.

- Huh?

There was a vision on this day, why did it come to cutting the feudal strategy again?

Just when everyone was busy looking left and right, trying to see some answers from the comrades around them, no one found out at all: Tianzi Qi on the royal couch handed a tacit look to Prime Minister Shen Tujia.

Then, it was Shen Tu Jia's sonorous and powerful response, which sounded in the Xuanshu Palace...

"Ministers, obey Your Majesty's edict!!"

Seeing Shen Tujia make a promise, everyone, you look at me, I look at you;

In the end, he only followed Shen Tujia and bowed to the Son of Heaven on the royal couch.

"Ministers, obey Your Majesty's edict······"
