They also want to be reunited with their families, and serving as a guard in the Honghou Mansion is only temporary.

These guards are full of longing for their families, full of confusion about life, and full of helplessness.

Liu Zhang chatted with them for a long time, and then returned to the tent to rest.

In the afternoon of the next day, they returned to the Red Marquis Kingdom.

It was snowing lightly again, and the wind was still blowing cold.

Zhao Ci pushed Xu Xuan, who was in a wheelchair, out of the door to greet him, and the carriage arrived outside the Honghou Mansion.

Seeing Liu Zhang and them come back safely, the people of Honghou Mansion were also very happy.

Everyone can have a happy New Year, and the carriages entered the gate of the Honghou Mansion one after another.

Chen Yun followed the guards over and put the boxes containing copper coins into the warehouse.

Liu Zhang told Zhao Ci about Liu Zhengchen's mental state and asked Zhao Ci to help treat him.

Zheng Ying called her son to her room and had something to talk to him about alone.

When the mother and son came to the room, Zheng Ying carefully looked at whether her son was injured.

She has been restless lately, worried about her son's accident.

"There have always been people trying to hurt you lately, but you're not hurt, are you?"

"Sister, I'm worried about you. A few days ago, I met Liu Jian's subordinates, and I was not injured, but the recruiters were a little stimulated. ”

Liu Jian will not stop there, he will definitely find all kinds of ways to take revenge on him and his relatives.

Although he was reprimanded by Liu Che several times before, Liu Jian began to stop again.

Zheng Ying brought Liu Zhang into the secret room and had something to say to him.

If it weren't for her son, she would never have said such a confidential thing.

When they came to the secret room, Zheng Ying also knew to tell the secret.

If the other Xuanyi guards heard it, she would probably be punished the most severely.

"According to reliable sources, next year His Majesty intends to cut off some of the princes. Change some of the liege's fiefdoms to other places, and you may also be targeted. ”

Zheng Ying told him the secrets he knew and told him to prepare.

Once the son's title is stripped away, the fields and homesteads granted by the imperial court will be taken back.

He can also own more than 100,000 acres of land left by his ancestors, and his income will be greatly reduced.

"I have paid so much for the court, and the court is still going to attack me."

Liu Zhang felt a little stupid, the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed.

He also contributed grain and money to fund the imperial court, and went to Chang'an next year to invite him.

He may be stripped of his title or changed to a fief.

This was revealed by Dongfang Shuo and Liu Bibi, and Liu Zhang has always taken this matter to heart.

"I really can't blame Your Majesty, it's the ministers of the court who are worried. You've been so good lately that they're worried that your actions threaten the imperial power. ”

Zheng Ying was well aware that Liu Che was under great pressure, and he took imperial power very seriously.

Liu Zhang heard his mother say this, according to historical records.

Liu Che was like a puppet when he was young, and he didn't have much power in his hands.

He won't let go easily, it's about his own life.

During Liu Che's reign, the power of the prime minister was constantly weakened, followed by the increasing power of local princes and princes.

Because of the alliance with some local forces, this also threatened the imperial power.

Only then did Liu Zhang remember what Liu Zhengchen said to him, there are too many good deeds.

It may not be a good thing for himself, and now the emperor is also beginning to be jealous.

Some of the princes had a lot of wealth in their hands, as well as an armed force of four.

What Liu Che has to do is to nip these forces that are about to become powerful in the bud, so as not to cause greater losses.

"If Your Majesty really wants to cut off my title, I can only admit it. Presumably those ministers are aggressive, if I know who it is. Hehe......"

Liu Zhang couldn't help but smile coldly, these people just couldn't see him well.

Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh lightly, it had been less than a year since he crossed over.

In the face of such a complex struggle, if not for the protection of family and friends.

He couldn't have had such a smooth life, although there were quite a few self-protecting hole cards in the subspace watch.

But he didn't want to live a life of exile all day, and he didn't want to fight endlessly with those people.

"Because I am a liege, most of those ministers do not have titles. They are envious and jealous, and they wish I had nothing. ”

Liu Zhang wanted to give up this title in his heart, and was worried about those people all day long.

Did he do anything wrong, those people were so directed at him.

"Do you want to give up your knighthood? Don't think so, once you lose your title. If you can't keep your wealth and women, Liu Jian can easily deal with you, and you must find a way to keep the title. ”

Zheng Ying seemed to have guessed his son's mind and persuaded him not to give up the title easily.

With his ingenuity, he will definitely be able to fight those old foxes.

"As long as you don't violate the rules of the Chinese law, they can't help you. You can continue to help the court and let the court know how important you are. ”

From time to time, these ministers of the DPRK and China appealed to Liu Che and removed Liu Zhang from his title.

They must have gotten the benefits of Liu Jian, which made Liu Che feel threatened and pressured.

Changing the Honghou State into a county, so that the annual tax revenue of the Honghou State can be directly incorporated into the state treasury.

"They are targeting you like this, with the help of Liu Jian and Liu Pengzu. Uniting with other princes and kings will be very unfavorable to you at the moment. ”

Those sons and grandsons of Emperor Xiaojing were united, and they worked together against Liu Zhang.

"I know that it is the son and grandson of Emperor Xiaojing who can't look down on me. They treated me like an outsider because I was a bully. ”

Of course, Liu Che will favor them, in his eyes, Liu Zhang is an outsider.

Although they have the same surname Liu, except for Liu Xuan, the ancestor.

Then they are not an ancestor, and they naturally want to reject Liu Zhang, an outsider.

Asking the King of Chu for help didn't make much difference.

Although the king of Chu is also a prince king, his power is not as great as that of the descendants of Emperor Xiaojing.

And the king of Chu's depression is very serious, and he can't help it.

Liu Zhang also felt isolated and helpless, and his mother was right.

If you lose your title, you lose a layer of protection.

Liu Jian can easily pinch him, and even take away his wealth and women.

Because he has a knighthood, he is still a member of the Han family.

If you don't have a knighthood, you don't have an official position.

Then he is the real declining aristocracy, and he feels helpless in his heart.

"As long as Your Majesty does not decide to remove your title, they will not be able to help you. I am also helping you by saying this, and in a few years, you will try your best to gain official positions and power in the court. ”

Originally, Zheng Ying wanted his son to live an ordinary life, but now that he wants to let him enter the court as an official.

In the future, with power, even without a knighthood, there is still a chance to build merit.

Give the court some help appropriately, and keep the title is the most important thing.

"Sometimes you give up your wealth and keep your title. Everything is owned, you are my son, I have to think about everything for you. ”

Zheng Ying also knew that he had told him so much, if it was spread.

There is a possibility that her life will not be in danger, this is a secret she has obtained from within the organization.

"I know how to do it, and the decisions made by His Majesty are not something that those people can easily influence."

What Liu Zhang had to do was to keep to himself and properly help the imperial court solve some difficulties.

Let the court know his importance if he loses his title.

Or the loss of life, which is a great loss to the imperial court.

Many people think that the crossing is good, but Liu Zhang feels that it is not so beautiful.

Every day, you have to watch out for all kinds of people, even if you come from an aristocratic family.

The pressure is not small at all, and there are some responsibilities to bear.

Liu Jian and the other princes bribed the ministers of the court and made them target Liu Zhang.

Let Liu Che know the biggest threat that Liu Zhang poses to him, and Liu Che is not unaware of the thoughts of those people.

"Sister, or I will apply to Your Majesty. Relocating a fief elsewhere can also leave some people speechless. ”

Liu Zhang was also willing to give up the Red Marquis Kingdom, and some people would have nothing to say at that time.

Even if there are fewer closures, his life is still free.

"I advise you not to do this, and you must not give in easily. You have done nothing wrong, and there is no reason for Your Majesty to change or remove your title. ”

Zheng Ying advised his son not to do this, and those people might think that he had confessed.

What Liu Zhang said was just an angry sentence, and he felt really helpless.

The elders may not be able to help him, but his mother is doing her best to help him.

"From tomorrow onwards, all the princes and princes will present to your majesty with gold. If the purity of the gold is not high, then there is a reason to cut the title. ”

The golden seizure was only a means for Liu Che to eliminate the number of liehous, whose revenues accounted for a large proportion of the treasury's revenue.

It affected the financial revenue, even if the purity of the gold offered by the princes and princes was high.

It will also be said that the purity is not high or the portion is insufficient, and the princes and kings will be cut off a few counties.

The marquis, on the other hand, lost his title, and perhaps he was also on the list of those who were taken.

It was a secret, and when his mother learned about it, she told him immediately.
