Chapter 81: Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms 1
When Wu was secretly making final preparations, Yuan An, who was the prime minister of Wu, received a summons from the Imperial History Mansion, which was written on the charge that Yuan Ang had privately accepted the property of King Wu. Yuan Ang was about to be furious, but his mouth was gagged by the arrestee and dragged to Chang'an for conviction.
Although Yuan Ang had left the court in his early years, Chao Cuo had not forgotten him. At that time, this sharp mouth often confronted him, and the imperial court was about to take action against Wu State, in order to prevent Yuan Ang from being used by Liu Bi, he had to be taken care of.
Yuan An, who is guilty of a trumped-up crime, has a great hatred for Chao Cuo's personal vendetta, if you talk about it, he and Chao Cuo do not have a deep hatred, it is nothing more than a difference in political concepts, and the past verbal dispute is nothing above the crowded temple! But now it's good, Chao Cuo will take the opportunity to take revenge, is this the demeanor of a human minister?
Chao Wrong, Chao Wrong, as long as I, Yuan An, can still step out of prison, I will put you in a situation from which I will never recover.
In the prison, Yuan Ang did not say a word and refused to admit his guilt, no matter how the prison officials threatened him.
Tingwei had no choice but to submit it to Liu Qi.
According to Chao Cuo's meaning, he hopes that Yuan Ang will be brought to justice immediately.
Liu Qi thought that it was an extraordinary period to cut down the feudal domain, and he should not kill more ministers and cut off his wings, so he did not agree with Chao Cuo's advice, and directly made a decision, issued an edict to pardon Yuan An, and demoted him to a commoner.
Yuan An, who was demoted to a commoner, secretly made a heavy oath the moment he stepped out of the prison that he would let Chao Cuo taste the taste of the prison cell in his lifetime.
Perhaps he himself would not have imagined that a few days later, Chao Cuo would be deprived of his qualification to go to prison.
Among all the officials of the Wu State, Liu Biao respected Yuan Ang the most, not only because of Yuan An's sharp mouth, but also because he really had real talent and learning.
During his tenure, Yuan Ang not only managed the political affairs of Wu State in an orderly manner, but also made Wu State, including Wu Wangfu, quickly rich, and the key is that the relationship between Yuan Ang and his Wu Wangfu was also very harmonious.
Now, Yuan Ang was inexplicably arrested by the imperial court.
"Poison, chao wrong, you are so poisonous!" When Liu Biao heard what happened to Yuan Ang in the capital, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
This kind of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, by the way, to get rid of the old enemy of the year, how can it escape Liu Fei's old eyes? Liu Bi has gone through four dynasties, the wind and the rain have risen, how many deaths have been seen, how many flesh and blood have been seen, when will he have the helplessness and disappointment now!
For Liu Qi, he was already disappointed.
If you can't control the ministers, then let the uncle take care of it for you! You can't control the world, so let your uncle take care of it for you!
Liu Bi, who has been busy for decades, finally crossed the hurdle in his heart in an instant. Liu Bang is alive, he is young, he doesn't dare to rebel and never thinks about rebelling, Liu Heng is alive, he is mature, he wants to rebel but is embarrassed to rebel. And now, he is over the age of six, but he can go against him at all costs.
According to Liu Bi's guess, Yuan An's case is over, and his cousin, who is not afraid of death, is about to really fight the tiger.
Liu Bi has always done things either not or bigger.
He has been preparing to rebel for more than 20 years, and everyone in the court knows it. Even when it comes to King Wu, it is associated with rebellion.
Even if Liu Bi was arrogant to this point, the court still didn't dare to touch him.
The ministers of the imperial court were afraid that they would disturb the situation of long-term stability and unity, and secondly, they were even more afraid that the problem of Wu State would not be solved, and it would be solved by Wu State.
The arrogance of King Wu is determined by the strength of the State of Wu.
Liu Bi knew very well that relying on the strength of Wu alone was not enough to make trouble, and the best way was to contact disgruntled princes everywhere. The advantage of this is that it can not only create momentum, create scale, but also say something unpleasant, even if you die, you can pull a cushion.
He sorted out all the princes in the world and found that there were many wine bags and rice bags, and there were few young talents. Only Liu Ang, the king of Jiaoxi, was barely able to join forces with him. Liu Ang is Liu Fei's fifth son and Liu Qi's cousin.
Liu Ang has been brave and martial since he was a child, and he is famous among the princes, which is also the reason why Liu Biao values him.
Liu Biao decided to send the talented and quick-witted doctor Ying Gao to lobby.
When Ying Gao saw Liu Ang, Liu Ang was playing with hundreds of catties of big knives in Jiaoxi Palace. played a tiger and a tiger, Ying Gao also applauded again and again, of course, he praised even more that this person is just a brave and ruthless martial artist, easy to deal with.
Ying Gao knows that you must not talk nonsense about this kind of person, there is too much nonsense, but it takes a lot of words.
"The king knows that when today's son appoints traitorous ministers, he listens to slander, intending to invade the princes, and punishes them day by day!" Ying Gao squinted at Liu Ang, who was sweating profusely, and saw that he was expressionless, and it seemed that he didn't say anything, so he changed his words and said: "King Wu and King Jiaoxi, well-known princes in the world." is being investigated by the imperial court, and there is no peace! ”
Liu Ang suddenly slashed the big knife on the wooden stake and shouted, "Bird! The stake cracked in half at the sound. Ying Gao shivered, but knew that Liu Ang had been touched.
"King Wu is ill, he can't go to court for 20 years, he has been suspected by the court, he can't defend himself, and he is very afraid. I heard that the king was stripped of six counties because of his affairs, if the crime does not come to this point according to the law, it is clear that the court intends to cut the king, I am afraid that the king will suffer next!
Liu Ang chuckled in his heart, threw the big knife to the ground, and shouted to the head of the palace: "Master, prepare for the banquet!" Wash the dust for Wu Guogui! ”
Ying Gao hurriedly thanked him and followed Liu Ang to the conference hall, where Liu Ang changed into a wide robe and served wine to welcome the guests.
Liu Ang asked eagerly, "Your envoy, what is the best plan?" ”
"King Wu and the king share the same worries, the intention of the king of Wu, I am willing to follow the principles of heaven with the king, and risk death to remove the trouble for the world, the king, what is the intention?"
Liu Ang was stunned, his eyes lit up, but he said: "How dare a widow be like this, although the emperor is not, how dare a widow betray the court!" ”
Ying Gao knew that Liu Ang had this shirk, although the king of Jiaoxi looked rude, but he would never shrink his hand if there were benefits, so Ying Gao smiled and said: "The imperial historian is wrong, the emperor confuses the son of heaven, invades the princes, the court complains, and the princes all have the intention of betrayal." And recently, the comet is out of the big out, disasters are frequent, if the matter, the king of Wu in the name of the mistake of the king, follow the king, then the time will be deeply responded to by all parties, the king of Wu then contact the king of Chu to go west to Hangu Pass, occupy Xingyang, the granary of the two places of Aocang, and then meet with the king, then the world is the world of the king and the king of Wu, isn't it wonderful? ”
Ying Gao looked at Liu Ang meaningfully, he had already described to Liu Ang a wonderful huge cake - the world is divided, just waiting for Liu Ang to come and eat together.
"Dividing the world" is too tempting for Liu Ang, who lives in the small country of Jiaoxi.
Liu Ang was born brave, he always believed that he was born to create an outstanding talent who made immortal achievements, how can he live here forever? How can you bury your talents?
Liu Ang raised his head and drank all the wine, and when the wine was exhausted, he threw the wine on the ground and shouted: "Bird! The widow is done! ”
Ying Gao got Liu Ang's promise and returned to Wu.
In the face of the promise brought back by Ying Gao, the old and refined Liu Bi still couldn't rest assured. Liu Ang is just a martial artist, with a short-tempered and impulsive personality, who knows if he is hot-headed for a while? In case Liu Ang didn't really want to rebel, wouldn't it be a big deal.
Just in case, the human-like Liu Bi personally went to meet the king of Jiaoxi and made a rebellious peace agreement with Liu Ang in person.
It doesn't matter whether Liu Ang is impulsive or not, the peace treaty has been made, even if he doesn't get on the thief ship with King Wu, he can't be washed by jumping into the Yellow River.
After Liu Bi went back with confidence, Liu Ang's subordinates were very uneasy, and said to the king of Jiaoxi that "the world is divided" is the old man Liu Bi put into the smoke bomb, and the world is not divided, but the head is divided.
Liu Ang insisted on doing a big job, and he used his fame and connections to do something that Liu Biao disdained to do and was difficult to do. He took the initiative to contact the four brother kingdoms of Qi, Zichuan, Jiaodong, and Jinan, and received a unanimous response.
Liu Bi was not idle, he also pulled in the King of Chu, who was cut first.
While a huge storm was brewing rapidly outside the gates, the resolute Chao Cuo was still desperate to plan this unprecedented cause of cutting down the feudal domain.
The apse of Weiyang Palace is brightly lit, and since the edict of Wu was issued, the young Liu Qi seems to have a sense of foreboding, and it is difficult to sleep and eat for a while.
The letter of cutting the feudal domain issued to King Wu has been sent, what kind of incident will it provoke? Will King Wu really be opposed? If it is the opposite, how should I deal with it? Will I lose?
Liu Qi's question, so far, perhaps, only God knows!
