Chapter 651: Monarchs and Ministers
Under the city of Chang'an, Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, swore to let the gate guard order on the head of the city open the city gate.
In the face of a group of princes and relatives of the Liu clan outside the city, as well as the tens of thousands of troops of Liu Jiantun stationed outside the city, he naturally did not dare to open the city easily.
Although he knew that Chang'an City was already in danger of being tired, as long as Liu Jian issued a military order at will, his army of 80,000 tigers and wolves would be able to break through the city gate, smash the Yellow Dragon, and rush to the city......
But even so, he couldn't let these people in.
put these people in, whether it was Wang Yun, Yang Biao, or the princes and kings who rushed into the city, or the son of today, or Liu Jian deposed the emperor and set up a new son of heaven......
No matter what the current situation is, once today's events are investigated, he must be the first to be attacked.
Then he saw the gatekeeper order arch his hand at the king of Ganling below, and said:
"The king forgives the sins, the last official has not received the holy decree of His Majesty, nor has he received the order of Shang Shutai, nor has he received the order of the Xiangguo Mansion, and he must not open the door, if he opens the door, he will ignore the safety of the country and investigate it back, the purpose is to fill in the lives of the whole family and not enough to atone for this great sin."
"Please forgive me!"
The King of the East China Sea said angrily: "Are you waiting for us Han clan relatives to enter the city to discuss national affairs?" Isn't it a capital crime to delay a major social event? ”
The gatekeeper ordered: "If you want to enter the capital and discuss important matters with Your Majesty, you can tie the letter to the bow and arrow, and shoot it at the head of the city with a strong archer. ”
"If Your Majesty has a will, please invite the kings to come to Beijing to discuss important matters, then the officials will naturally open the door immediately, and there will be no delay, and then bear the guilt and apologize to the kings."
The king of the East China Sea pointed to the gatekeeper order and shouted: "You are a little gatekeeper, and you dare to command us and others to act?" ”
The gatekeeper said with a smile: "It's not that the last official orders the kings, the last official just acts according to the laws of the court." ”
The king of the East China Sea was about to say more, but he saw Wen Chou on the side shouting: "What you said when I am suitable is coercion and intimidation? ”
"Do you really not dare to lead my troops up against your city?"
When the gatekeeper heard Wen Chou threatening him, he immediately trembled with fright.
Listening to Wen Chou's fierce voice and looking at his expression, I knew that what he said was true, not to scare people.
If Wen Chou really drove the Hebei warriors to attack the city now, then this gate guard order is a hundred heads, and I am afraid it will not be enough for Wen Chou to cut off.
It was at this tense moment that a fast horse came to the front from the rear, and it was a sentry sent by Liu Jianzhong's army.
He approached Wen Chou, and then whispered Liu Jian's military order to him.
After Wen Chou listened, he nodded immediately.
Then, he turned his head to look at the princes and kings present and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the general's intention is that I will enter Beijing this time, although it is for the imperial court, but everything still needs to abide by the laws of the imperial court. ”
When all the princes and kings and the Liu clan heard this, they all expressed their approval, and no one objected.
So everyone ordered someone to move the table, brought a pen and inkstone, and began to write one after another in the city.
After all, although this opinion was said by Wen Chou, what he relayed was Liu Jian's thoughts after all, everyone present, which of the Liu clansmen dared to have objections to Liu Jian's statement?
After a group of people wrote the music of the music into silk silk, Wen Chou attracted a group of warriors who were good at shooting, and more than ten targets fell on the city wall, and then I saw those long arrows hanging on the silk silk shooting towards the targets on the city!
The walls of Chang'an City are still relatively high, and ordinary arrows can't shoot at all, so the gate guard order dropped the target along the rope, so that those arrows don't have to shoot so high, so that these arrows can be shot into the city.
After a while, I saw that more than 100 silk silks were shot on the city.
The gatekeeper didn't dare to slack off, and quickly sent these silk silks into Shangshutai.
The officials in Shangshutai turned the performances of these clansmen upwards.
Soon, both the emperor and his ministers and officials knew the contents of these letters from the princes.
Some of these contents say that the current politics of the imperial court are too chaotic, and it is necessary for the princes and kings to enter Beijing together to assist the imperial court and revitalize the imperial court.
Some clan relatives said that there were traitors around the emperor and needed to be cleared.
Some say that since Liu Wei ascended the throne, the Quartet has been in turmoil, the world is in chaos, and the Han family is restless......
In short, whether it is light, heavy, good or bad, one of the unanimous goals is that we want to enter the city, and we have to discuss what the Han world should do!
In this world, you can't be a demon by Ling Liu alone, there must be a systematic charter!
Whether it is the Son of Heaven Liu Biao or Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others after knowing the content of these letters, they are also very angry, especially the Son of Heaven Liu Bian, he can't sleep every day now, and his mind is full of the content of these princes and kings' letters, which makes his brain buzz.
His heart was also full of remorse, but he didn't know what he should regret!
Is it regret that he listened to Dong Zhuo's opinion, or regret that the first emperor used Liu Jian, or did he reuse these nobles in the court?
Anyway, he felt that he believed everyone wrongly, and none of the courtiers of the Han Dynasty were credible.
He Liu Biao has been harmed by these courtiers until today.
In addition to Liu Wei's frightened heart and unable to sleep at night, his mother Empress Dowager He also washed her face with tears every day, and now that Chang'an has become such a situation, Empress Dowager He naturally knows that their mother and son will face a huge crisis.
But now looking around, except for those ministers, none of their mothers and sons can be trusted, but those ministers are now too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have extra energy to protect their mothers and sons.
In the end, Wang Yun and Yang Biao played a game, asking Liu Wei to show the majesty of the emperor, refute these princes and kings and Han clan relatives, and order them to return to their respective jurisdictions immediately, and not to stay in the capital, otherwise they will all be punished for the crime of rebellion.
Everyone knew that there was no point in doing this, but Wang Yun and Yang Biao still insisted on doing it.
After the edict was issued, the relatives of the Han family were not in a hurry, they just continued to present the book, and some even wrote blood letters, playing to death, and sending arrows to the city.
In short, it's still the same sentence, if the emperor doesn't see them, they won't leave!
It didn't take long to see that the case of the emperor of the court was full of princes and kings.
The entire table case was almost drowned by the princes and the Liu clan's relatives.
And the young Liu Wei looked at those performances, his eyes were red, and his hands couldn't stop shaking.
He hated to cut all these people who wrote the music with a thousand knives, and not one of them remained.
But alas, he doesn't have the power to kill any of these people right now.
The only thing he could do was to continue the edict and strictly order the men to return to the territory immediately.
But who can listen to him?
In desperation, Liu Wei could only convene a court meeting and convene a group of ministers under him to discuss how this matter should be handled.
The Qingliu clan led by Xun You all lowered their heads and remained silent, so they could only let the Son of Heaven Liu Wei and those noble ministers argue endlessly about this matter.
They quarrel and argue, but they can't come up with an effective way to do it.
In the end, it was still the Son of Heaven who issued an edict and continued to order these Liu clansmen to retreat from Chang'an.
The edict of the Son of Heaven was issued again, this time, all the princes and kings and the Liu clan relatives changed their routines, they no longer asked to continue to see the Son of Heaven, but played and made it clear to the Son of Heaven that they could withdraw it, but for the sake of the Han Dynasty and the Liu family, the Son of Heaven Liu Wei must hand over the traitorous heads around him.
The so-called traitorous leaders are Wang Yun, Yang Biao, and Chun Yujia.
As long as the Son of Heaven Liu Wei handed over these three people, then they would immediately withdraw, and even Liu Jian would withdraw.
In the past, most of the courtiers in the capital would not believe the words of the princes and kings.
But at this moment of life and death, their hearts have long been in turmoil.
Even if there is a glimmer of life, they have to give it a try.
This method was proposed by Jia Xu, and he wanted to divide the political pattern of Wang Yun, Yang Biao and other families in the court.
I have to say that Jia Xu's poison plan is still very effective.
As long as Wang Yun, Yang Biao, and Chun Yujia are handed over, all the Liu clan relatives will be withdrawn, the Son of Heaven will still be the Son of Heaven, the court will still be the court, and the rest of the courtiers will still be in their previous positions.
After seeing these performances, the hearts of Wang Yun, Yang Biao, and Chun Yujia suddenly cooled in half.
They hurriedly ran to Liu Bian's palace, crying and shouting, playing to Liu Bian, showing their loyalty, hoping that Liu Bian would not fall for the traitorous minister's scheme.
Liu Wei only comforted them, saying that he would not sacrifice them in exchange for the support of his uncles and brothers.
But having said that, no one knows what Liu Wei is thinking in his heart.
In fact, I still have the heart to try it today, but unfortunately the power of Wang Yun and others is too big, and they don't dare.
But in fact, not only the Son of Heaven, but also among the courtiers, and even among many of Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others, there are also many people who are beginning to consider at this moment, whether to hand over Wang Yun and Yang Biao and others in exchange for peace in Chang'an?
……
……
Just when the Chang'an court was in chaos, Liu Jian feasted more than 100 princes and famous Liu clan relatives in his camp.
Today's banquet came very suddenly, which surprised everyone.
But since it was Liu Jian's invitation, everyone naturally wanted to give him face.
So, I saw a group of Han clan relatives and princes and kings going to Liu Jian's handsome tent.
It wasn't until everyone arrived one after another that they understood Liu Jian's purpose for inviting them to this banquet.
It turned out that there was a heavyweight who also arrived in Chang'an.
This person is Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, who is the younger brother of today's son.
Fifteen-year-old Liu Xie has grown up, and his appearance is quite elegant and handsome, and in appearance, he is quite similar to his deceased mother Wang.
However, the princes and kings heard that Liu Xie's daily behavior was as inappropriate as the previous emperor.
Especially when it comes to women.
Fifteen-year-old Liu Xie is in adolescence, and it is also the moment when male love is beginning to open and desire is relatively strong.
Since Liu Xie opened meat last year, he has been as enthusiastic about men and women as his father.
And Liu Jin, under Liu Jian's guidance, did not warn Liu Xie's behavior, on the contrary, he was unusually supportive and indulgent.
For more than a year, Chen Liuwang has been in the Hebei folk beauty pageant and secretly incorporated into the mansion, although Liu Jian later acted as a matchmaker for him and asked him to take the woman of the Hu family, but this did not prevent Liu Xie from secretly recruiting beauties, the more the merrier.
It is also that he is young and vigorous, and his physical strength is sufficient, even the groom has not seen emaciation and malaise.
However, his reputation as a good woman is now relatively loud in the world.
After everyone saw the young King Chen Liu, it suddenly dawned on them that Liu Jian invited the kings and clan relatives to a banquet today, to introduce Liu Xie to them.
Many smart minds reacted immediately.
Liu Jian, is this going to support Chen Liuwang?
After understanding Liu Jian's intentions in their hearts, their attitude towards Chen Liuwang naturally became extremely respectful, and they frequently raised their glasses to respect Chen Liuwang during the banquet.
Although Liu Xie's background is noble, he has never experienced this situation before, but after all, he is a smart person, and he can barely cope with so many uncles and uncles suddenly, without losing the general situation.
Liu Jian was very satisfied with Liu Xie's behavior.
As for Liu Jin, he did not dare to attend the banquet because he was afraid that some of the princes and kings would recognize him.
After all, in the hearts of the world's people, Zhang Rang was already a dead man.
If you can appear less, you will appear less on such a big occasion.
Halfway through drinking, he saw Liu Jian suddenly put the wine lord in his hand on the table, and then let out a long sigh.
He looked around at the Liu clan relatives around him and said with emotion: "Back in the past, when I waited for the ancestors of the Liu family to run the Han Dynasty, it could be said that all states came to the dynasty at its peak, but today, the Han family is declining, the jackals are in charge, the world is falling apart, and most of the four seas of Kyushu are in the hands of traitors!" ”
"It's a pity that we are a clan, but we can't save the country, watching the chaos in all directions, countless Li Shu rebelled because of suffering, and the Han Dynasty is full of holes, compared with the past years, how many miles apart?"
"It took me ten years to stabilize Hebei and make the north rich, but this time I came to Sizhou and Guanzhong, and what I saw and saw was shocking and made me feel sad in my heart."
"Everyone in the world said that I broke Li Xiang's million-strong army, and my military achievements were great......"
"But what I have broken, where are the millions of male soldiers, it is clearly the millions of people of my Han Dynasty, the millions of people who have to rebel because of hunger!"
When it comes to this, Liu Jian is really embarrassed.
His face was full of grief and indignation, and his tone was extremely sad.
Liu Yu and Liu Jian have known each other for many years, he knows that Liu Jian's words are not fake, he has great ambitions, and regards thousands of Li Shu as the children of the Han Dynasty.
"The general does not have to be too sad, some things are not done in a day, but are accumulated over time, the disadvantages of perennial difficulties, although the Han Dynasty has suffered many difficulties in recent years, but fortunately there is a clan like the general in charge, so that the north land is not lost, the Huns, Xianbei, Wuhuan tie their hands, sweep the border troubles, and it is not suitable for my Han to be threatened by foreign people when the civil strife...... This is all the work of the general! ”
All the princes and kings said: "Yes, they are all the work of the general!" ”
"Hebei is now so rich and has a developed industry, all thanks to the general's ten-year planning!"
"Yes, even thirty years ago, Hebei was not as rich as it is now!"
"The Xianbei tribes have been divided repeatedly in recent years, and they are used by my Han Dynasty, and it is the credit of the general."
When Liu Jian heard this, he was very emotional.
Then, I saw him sigh and said: "You don't have to comfort me, the first emperor was lonely with me back then, it was because I didn't properly assist Your Majesty and persuade Your Majesty's behavior, so that Your Majesty is close to the villain Yuan Xianchen, and even has the disaster of the Han today, I really deserve death!" ”
Liu Jian said this, and everyone naturally disagreed.
"General, how is this your fault again?"
"Deran, don't blame yourself so much!"
"General, you can't put so much pressure on yourself, this big man can't do without you in the world."
"The general still needs to adjust his mood, take care of his body!"
The words of these officials moved Liu Jian very much.
"Liu Jian was moved by what the princes said, but you don't have to comfort me, it is my responsibility to be my responsibility, after all, none of you are the ministers of the orphans, only I am, so none of you will understand the grief in this."
At this time, I heard Liu Yu, the king of Zhao, speak: "The general has a loyal heart for the sake of the society, and we all know it, but when today's son is really unreasonable, his cronies and traitors are acting in vain, resulting in chaos today. ”
"According to the widow's point of view, there should be virtuous people living in this world, although today's son is the descendant of the first emperor, but it is really not suitable to control this Han world, if he continues to let him mess around like this, our Liu family will be destroyed sooner or later."
Liu Yu's words can be regarded as bringing the matter to the point, and all the princes and kings present and the Liu clan relatives were in high spirits.
Liu Jian frowned.
"King Zhao's words are a bit excessive."
Liu Yu said: "Whether this statement is too radical or not, everyone present is clear. ”
"The general is dedicated to the public, the heart of serving the country, the world can be learned, and our Liu clan relatives can see it."
"It's a pity that today's son is by no means a person who can start a business."
"So when we look back and wait for our princes and kings and the Liu clan to enter the court, it is feasible to abolish the throne, support the general to take the throne, rule the world, and restore the former prosperity of the Liu family, I don't know what the princes think?"
These words immediately won the applause of everyone present.
After all, Liu Jian was a prince and king who was kind to the world back then, and what he has done over the years is all for the sake of the country, so he is the most admired by the princes and kings, and everyone also thinks that he is the one who can best control the country and make the Liu clan relatives live a better life.
"I agree!"
"This new emperor really has to be a general."
"If this country is not in charge of a great general, it will inevitably fall."
However, Liu Jian waved his hand and said, "The princes want to trap me in a place of disloyalty and injustice!" ”
Liu Yu on the side suddenly got up.
He stepped to the side of the young Chen Liuwang, reached out and patted Chen Liuwang's shoulder.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a word, and I ask you to listen quietly."
"In my opinion, the person who can inherit the unification today is none other than King Chen Liu."
"After all, he is the son of the first emperor."
"If we do the abolition of the establishment today and do not let the son of the first emperor ascend the throne, how will we see the first emperor under the nine springs in the future?"
"The first emperor is orphaned here, if he wants to establish a new king, it must be King Chen Liu, and the general must think so."
Liu Jian secretly said in his heart, Liu Yu really went on the road.
He had not communicated with Liu Yu about this matter beforehand.
But Liu Yu can clearly understand his context.
Liu Qingzhou said...... Very much! ”
"I also agree with King Chen as the new king."
"Chen Liuwang has been smart since he was a child, and he has the style of a father, which I have witnessed with my own eyes over the years."
"If King Chen Liu's throne can be enthroned, it will definitely make me have a new atmosphere."
"The position of the new monarch is none other than King Chen Liu!"
