Unstaggeredly, Liu Qi took over the crown left by his father Liu Heng.

Before Liu Heng died, he made ingenious arrangements for Liu Qi's smooth ascension, and he directly promoted Zhou Yafu, the Marquis, to the general of the chariot cavalry. The position of the cavalry general in the military system is second only to the general and the hussar general, and the key is that the chariot general commands the cavalry chariot unit that moves quickly and has strong combat power, and it shoulders the responsibility of guarding the palace gate.

Liu Heng's purpose is self-evident, whoever dares to obstruct Liu Qi's succession will have to pass Zhou Yafu's pass first, and to pass Zhou Yafu's pass, Liu Heng believes that such a person has not yet been born!

At the same time as Liu Heng promoted Zhou Yafu, he transferred Zhang Wu, who had followed him for more than 20 years, and vacated the position of the chief of the palace guard.

Liu Qi is naturally very aware of his father's hard work, but in his opinion, his father has always underestimated his ability, he has been the prince for twenty-three years, which of the state affairs and political affairs he has not taken care of in an orderly manner over the years, the world will be his world sooner or later, who dares to rob it!

Just after three months of filial piety, Liu Qi did something that Liu Heng didn't want to see.

Taizhong doctor Deng Tong really made Liu Qi sick.

Although Deng Tong was respectful to him, as soon as Liu Qi saw Deng Tong, he remembered the scene where he sucked the abscess on his back for his father. At that time, Liu Heng was moved by Deng Tong's loyalty, so he suddenly sighed: "Who in the world can love me more than Deng Tong?" ”

Deng Tong wanted to shoot some sycophants, but he didn't want to slap the horse's legs. Deng Tong replied: "Yes, it's the prince!" Emperor Wen asked rhetorically: "Yes, will the prince take drug sores for me?" In order to prove what Deng Tong said, Liu Heng found his son and asked him to suck the poisonous sores on his back.

When Liu Qi heard this imperial order, he was stunned in surprise, although he was also a father and son, but the prince was also a person with status, how could he do this kind of dirty work. Could it be that my father is crazy?

Liu Qi's face was so red that he couldn't get out of his mouth when he lay on the ground. Liu Heng was tortured by illness, depressed, and easy to get angry, so he scolded his son.

Later, Liu Qi learned that this was Deng Tong's stabbing basket, so he decided to skin this person alive one day.

Liu Qi sent an edict to Deng Tong, which probably means that you are old and can retire.

Deng Tong is a handsome rough man, he has developed limbs, but he has a simple mind, except for fishing, rowing and hunting, he has no ability to be an official at all. If Liu Heng hadn't covered him, he would have been killed by the red-eyed person a long time ago.

Therefore, when he got Liu Qi's dismissal edict, Deng Tong didn't see the way, if he had a little common sense, he would definitely roll up the bunk and take his wife and children, where did he come from. But Deng Tong didn't think so, he thought that this was the new emperor remembering his decades of hard work in serving the emperor, and hoped that he would recuperate and rest. So, Deng Tong hurriedly told Liu Qi that he was in good health and didn't need to rest.

Liu Qi said no, you have to rest.

Deng Tong looked at Liu Qi's sharp gaze and panicked for a moment, and immediately fell to the ground, a handful of tears and snot, and kept talking about the emperor and the emperor in his mouth.

Liu Qizi was already a little impatient, and when he saw Deng Tong, he lifted out the first emperor at every turn, and there was a burst of light. He stood up and snapped on a few cases. Deng Tong seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, and continued to kowtow like pounding garlic, with his IQ, he couldn't think of any other way than to cry, make trouble, and move out of the first emperor.

At this time, I only heard Liu Qi shouting loudly: "Guard, drag him to the prison and hand him over to the Tingwei Mansion for interrogation!" ”

Deng Tong was quickly dragged out of the apse.

Liu Qi looked at Deng Tong's ugly state and was annoyed in his heart, "How can such a person be above my temple?" Father, father, my son really has to do it, please don't blame it! ”

When Zhang Shizi, the court captain, saw the palace soldiers twisting Deng Tong over, he had a sense of foreboding, and remembered that he had stopped the prince and King Liang outside the palace gate, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Zhang Shizhi asked the court attendants, "What crime?" ”

The waiter replied: "The old slave doesn't know, just make a clear decision!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, Zhang Shiyi was confused, turned around and asked Deng Tong, Deng Tong shouted at Zhang Shizhi vigorously, Zhang Shizhi saw that he was bored, and asked someone to take him to prison without saying a word.

"It seems that the emperor is going to make a move, no matter what Deng Tong says, he is also the person who the first emperor wants to protect when he is dying!" Zhang Shizhi was suddenly upset.

At this time, the newly appointed Shi Chaocuo raised his head and went to the Tingwei Mansion. Speaking of Chao Cuo, in the imperial court has long been famous, Emperor Wen was raised as filial piety, because of the outstanding literary talent by Emperor Wen appreciated, and later transferred to the crown prince, doctor, the prince's family order, became Liu Qi's enlightenment teacher, now, the prince has become the emperor, Chao Cuo has become Liu Qi's most relied on minister, when Liu Qi's foothold is not stable, Chao Cuo temporarily served as the internal history, every day to accompany Liu Qi by his side, it is foreseeable that Chao Cuo will become another powerful minister in the court in the near future.

With such a red and hot character, Zhang Shizhi naturally didn't dare to slack off.

Chao Cuo didn't say much, and went straight to take out Liu Qi's edict and preached: "Zhang Tingwei takes the decree!" ”

According to the Han law, like an informal edict, ministers do not need to bow down to greet them, but Zhang Shizhi can't figure out the new emperor now, so he goes against the usual and bows down.

Seeing this, Chao Cuo's eyebrows moved, and he didn't feel confident in his heart, thinking that when he saw Lord Tingwei, he was very respectful, but he didn't expect it to be the other way around today.

The time is also, the momentum is also.

"The Tingwei Mansion will strictly investigate Deng Tong's crime of corruption and perversion of the law!" Chao Wrong preached loudly.

Zhang Shizhi respectfully accepted the edict, and Chao Cuo didn't talk to him much, so he turned around and got into the sedan chair and left.

Zhang Shizhi held the edict in his hand, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that this Deng Tong had not yet been interrogated, and the charges were not clear, so how could he say that he was 'corrupt and perverted the law', and besides, there was no need for the new minister to promulgate it in person, all these seemingly inexplicable things seemed to reveal something. If there is, then there is only one explanation.

Zhang Shizhi let out a long sigh. Entering the study, I thought about writing a letter of resignation again and again, put it in the camera obscura and locked it.

In his judgment, Deng Tong was in a catastrophe. As soon as Deng Tong falls, then the next one may be himself!

This is the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, when today's son is impatient, it is known to the whole world, if he believes that he will be in a hurry, even if he regrets it in the future. When he makes a move, it is better to leave as soon as possible.

Liu Qi is not Liu Heng after all.

After Zhang Shizhi made up his mind, he looked up at the sky, Liu Heng's voice and smile were all in front of him, and he muttered: "Emperor Xian, the minister can't do his best for the country!" ”

The news that Deng Tong was sent to prison spread far and wide, and the red people in front of the emperor in the past became prisoners, and anyone who had a holiday with Deng Tong took advantage of the situation to fall into the ground, and soon Deng Tong's crimes flew like snowflakes in front of Liu Qi's dragon case.

Liu Qi looked at the mountains of impeachment and revelations, so he didn't expect that Deng Tong, who seemed to be left and right on weekdays, and the close ministers relied on by his father and emperor would have such bad deeds.

Although Liu Qi has an impatient personality, he is also very good at seeing the subtleties, and his mood is not happy because he has caught Deng Tong's incriminating evidence, but even more gloomy. He couldn't believe that his father would rely on such a traitor. The father is undoubtedly sage, but if Deng Tong is so lawless, how can he not be aware of it? If the saint is like a father and the emperor, and he can't detect the treacherous, what about me, can I do it?

Liu Qi had no intention of reading the folds, he wanted to figure out this problem. He walked out of the front hall and paced to the Tianlu Pavilion a hundred steps away from the front of the front hall, and the Tianlu Pavilion and the Shiqu Pavilion were the places where the books were stored in the palace. Liu Qi began to flip through the various books inside, hoping to find the answer to his question from the sage's speech.

Liu Qi vaguely remembered that since he killed the crown prince of Wu, he was locked up by his father in the Tianlu Pavilion to practice the words of the sage, on the one hand to show punishment, and on the other hand to learn etiquette, the so-called courtesy and gentleness. What a whole month, what kind of torment was that?! He also clearly heard the crying and pleading of his mother outside the cabinet gate, and he also clearly heard the stern voice of his father: "The prince of the country, who does not know etiquette, does not abide by the law, is impatient, tyrannical and murderous, and will mislead the country and the people in the future!" ”

Impatient, tyrannical and murderous... Liu Qi heard his father's assertion at that time, and he even had the heart to die. But he survived at a young age, although it was very boring to be confined to a small attic all day, and in Tianlu Pavilion, there was really nothing to do except look through the bamboo slips mixed with the musty smell over and over again.

But Liu Qi really learned to think at that time.

In the future, whenever he had something he couldn't figure out, he would wander around Tianlu Pavilion and Shiqu Pavilion, and often had unexpected gains.

Liu Qi looked at the endless collection of books in front of him, and his impatient mood suddenly calmed down.

When he flipped through Han Feizi, he suddenly realized that Deng Tong was a dull person, nothing more than greed, and there was no great destructive effect on the country and the court. What is hateful and terrible is the kind of hypocritical and scheming villain.

The father would not fail to understand Deng Tong's bad deeds, but he kept him, also for this point, this is a dull and scheming greedy person, and there are some carving skills. But how to explain so many pieces of impeachment against Deng Tong?

The only explanation is that the world is cold! Some of them are true, but most of them must be fabricated. I have been in the Han Dynasty for 50 years, and the world is so cold, and the country is unfortunate!

Thinking about this, Liu Qi has already figured out how to deal with Deng Tong.

Coincidentally, the Tingwei Mansion has already submitted Deng Tong's guilt.

Liu Qi opened it and saw that it was nothing more than Deng Tong's crime of using Yandao Copper Mountain to enrich his pockets. As for what kind of faction and selfishness, intent to rebel, and so on, it is purely false. When he saw that it was written on the chapter that Deng Tong was very cooperative and confessed to the crime, Liu Qi actually laughed, he thought: "With Deng Tong's personality, no matter how many charges he has, as long as he can suffer less imprisonment, he will definitely confess, this Zhang Shizhi, the verdict is really fair and selfless!" ”

Based on Deng Tong's criminal evidence, and in order to crack down on the unhealthy trend of falling down and scattering, Liu Qi decided to confiscate all Deng Tong's family property, not even leave the food money, and demote him to a commoner.

Deng Tong suddenly became penniless from the richest man in the world, and coupled with the fact that he was used to being pampered, and he forgot to work when he was old, Deng Tong, who had no power and powerless, did not please anywhere, not only his friends, but even his relatives hid far away. The eldest princess saw that he was pitiful, and rewarded him with a few mouthfuls of food from time to time, and then the eldest princess was busy with the battle for the storage position, so she had no time to take care of Deng Tong, and Deng Tong, who was hungry and poor, finally starved to death on an unknown winter night. The situation is so miserable that people are embarrassed.

Twenty years ago, a scholar said that Deng Tong would starve to death. Twenty years later, Deng Tong really starved to death.

Whether it's true or not, there is a saying that warns the world, and when you come out to mix, you must pay it back. To be a man, you still have to always have a sense of awe and avoid ill-gotten gains.

After Deng Tong disappeared from the imperial court, in the middle of the night, Zhang Shizhi took off his official uniform and changed into civilian clothes, stored the big seal of the court lieutenant on several cases, and then bowed to the official seal three times, and asked the elder of the family who was waiting outside the mansion, "Have the lady and son been arranged?" The old man nodded, and he got into the car without looking back.

Xuan car went straight to the southeast corner of Chang'an, half an hour later, Zhang Shi got out of the car, bowed to the solemn Baling Nine Bows, and then got in the car and left slowly.

The next day, a piece of music was placed on Liu Qi's dragon case, and Liu Qi opened it and was surprised.
