Chapter 1 First Meeting (1)

On the first month of the first year of Qianyou in the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan died in Funing Palace. Before his death, he was sentenced to kill Du Chongwei and appointed five people, including Shi Hongzhao, Guo Wei, Yang Bin, Wang Zhang and Su Fengji as ministers of Gushi.

In the first month of the first year of Qianyou, King Liu Chengyou of Zhou was located in front of Liu Zhiyuan's coffin. Renchen, Later Shu invaded, and Dasan Pass was in urgent need. Fengxiang inspector Wang Jingchong led his troops to rescue him, and raised an anti-bank on the way. Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan responded one after another. They killed more than 20 generals including the former Yongxing Jiedushi Hou Yi, Tian Lingfang, and more than 20 generals, captured Shanzhou and Guozhou, and pointed directly at Luoyang.

When Zhao Kuangzan, the former governor of Hezhong, heard the news, he was furious and died suddenly in Bianliang. His minions all pulled flags and rebelled at the garrison because of his sudden death. They raised their troops and echoed Zhao Siwan.

For a time, the Han Dynasty, which had just been established, was in turmoil.

Liu Chengyou, who had just ascended the throne for more than ten days, did he know how to deal with such an emergency? He quickly recruited Shi Hongzhao and five other ministers into the palace to ask for advice. Unexpectedly, before the five ministers decided to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, the uncle Li Ye sent another unfortunate news angrily, Fu Yanqing, the governor of the three towns of Wei, Pinglu, Tianping, and Gao Xing, who was staying in Yedu, and hunted spring in the outskirts of Bozhou on Sunday. The guests and guests showed their strength, shot five tigers, more than ten bears and leopards, and countless other jackals and beasts.

"Boom!" With a sound of "Boom!", Liu Chengyou rushed forward and pushed the Yushu case four feet upward. The white horse Gao Xingzhou and Laolang Fu Yanqing combined the war soldiers, which exceeded 60,000, and most of them were elite troops who had been on the battlefield many times. On the other hand, the imperial guards stationed in Bianliang and the nearby Guide Army, Zhongwu Army, and Yicheng Army were all added, but only 100,000 yuan. He also had to split half to support the Western Beijing Luoyang, in case Li Shouzhen and Wang Jingchong took advantage of the situation and entered.

"Your Majesty, don't panic. With me waiting, the sky will not fall!" Shi Hongzhao quickly looked forward and rushed forward, pulling Liu Chengyou from the ground. Then, he flew up again, kicked the heavy desk half a foot away, widened his eyes, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing in a stand-alone situation? The emperor left us with Gu's life. Is it this way of guarding? Yang Lao, you and Su Fengji, let's find a way to appease all officials and stabilize the hearts of the army and the people. Wang Kongmu, it's time for you to do your work. How much money and food are there in the treasury? I will take it out for me! Tomorrow morning, I will lead a squad and a squad to go to war with Guo'er. What are Li Shouzhen and Fu Yanqing, who dare to make a fool of themselves, will be arrested by Your Majesty and confiscated the family and exterminate the clan!"

"Sir Shi must not be anxious. Even if you send troops, you must have a specific strategy!" Prime Minister Yang Bing frowned when he heard this, and stepped forward a few steps. While bent down to clean up the memorials that fell on the ground, he whispered, "Although Fu Yanqing and Gao Xingzhou acted inconsistent with the etiquette, they did not clearly show the banner of rebellion. At best, they just wanted to test..."

"Test it! Try it today, it's time to rush south tomorrow!" Shi Hongzhao glared at him fiercely, and the beards on his cheeks stood up. "Now, Your Majesty can only cut the mess quickly. No matter who dares to have bad intentions, he will send troops to challenge him first. Next, he can calm down other guys with bad intentions. Otherwise, yesterday was Li Shouzhen, today was Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing. By the way tomorrow, I don't know how many towns will take advantage of the situation to rob them together!"

"Then you can't fight on both sides!" Yang Bing frowned again and added patiently, "First of all, the treasury may not be able to take out so much money and food in a hurry. Secondly, you and the envoy Guo left Bianliang and took away most of the imperial guards. If a slut takes the opportunity to cause trouble, and Your Majesty only has us civil servants around you, how can you deal with it?"

"Are there Li Ye and the others? If you can't fight, do you have to catch some people who crow and thieves?" Shi Hongzhao couldn't listen to other people's opinions at all, curled his lips and asked loudly.

The uncle Li Ye was suddenly caught in a "brick" and his face suddenly turned purple and red. He raised his eyes to ask his nephew for an explanation, but saw the emperor Liu Chengyou, standing in a daze, standing there in a daze, with his eyes blankly in his mind, and he had long since had no idea where he had flew to.

In desperation, he had to bite the bullet and whisper: "Master Privy, Lord Pingzhang, the last general, the last general is still useful. However, if Lord Privy, take away the imperial guards, then the last general is afraid that the best man will be a good cook without rice!"

"You have nothing to do with this, just listen!" Shi Hongzhao waved his arm and pushed him aside, scolding him loudly. Then he turned his gaze to Guo Wei, "Old Guo, what about you, who do you support? Old Yang has always been cautious, but now is not the time to be cautious!"

"This matter, I might as well plan several strategies first and hand it over to Your Majesty, and then your Majesty will make the final decision!" Guo Wei quickly blinked at Shi Hongzhao, and then responded slowly.

"Your Majesty is just a child, what does he know?" Shi Hongzhao was so angry that his eyebrows were raised, and he waved his arms and retorted loudly.

After saying all the rude words, he realized that the old brother Guo Wei was just winking at him. He quickly turned his head, looked at Liu Chengyou's facial expression, quickly loosened the other hand that was holding the other person's wrist, took two steps back, and bowed to apologize, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being anxious for a moment. Old minister, the old minister will keep taking it in his heart, treating you as his junior."

"It's okay!" Liu Chengyou took his eyes back from the sky and shook his head with a smile. "I am the junior of my uncles. I was not doing this in leading troops to fight. Therefore, I was confused when I heard what Shi Shumi and Yang Xiang said just now. It was too late to figure it out. How could I notice that you were always rude and not rude?!"

"The old minister is ashamed of killing!" Shi Hongzhao's face turned red when he heard this. He bowed down again and apologized with his fists.

Liu Chengyou quickly stepped forward a few steps and held his arm up with both hands, "What is Uncle Shi doing? Not to mention that the father has a lasting order to ask you to assist in the government first. Even if he does not have his lasting order, I will treat you as the giant pillar of the Han Dynasty. How could I care about a few mistakes in words? Quickly calm down, flatten you, come and move the embroidery dock closer to me to Shumi Shi and all the ministers in charge of their lives. I want to ask my uncles in person for advice!"

"As for order!" The imperial guards on duty outside the door agreed and rushed in, moving the five special seats left for the ministers of Guru to the position where the imperial desk was originally placed, forming an arc, opposite Liu Chengyou's dragon throne.

Seeing that the little emperor was so polite and polite, Shi Hongzhao's expression became even more embarrassing. He shook his big hand and said thanks again and again, and he didn't dare to sit down no matter what.

However, Liu Chengyou became more and more respectful. He stepped forward with his own hands and pressed him on the embroidery pedestal in the center. Then he successively invited Guo Wei, Yang Bin and others to sit on the embroidery pedestal on both sides and sat there. After the five ministers of Guxin had seats, he slowly walked back to the dragon chaise, sat half of his butt, and asked for advice humbly again.

This time, Shi Hongzhao finally did not dare to act arbitrarily anymore. He politely asked Yang Bin, Guo Wei, Wang Zhang, Su Fengji and others to discuss countermeasures with him. The five people calmed down and based on the current situation and the strength they truly mastered in the court, after several discussions, they finally found a series of relatively safe solutions.

Although Li Shouzhen, Wang Jingchong and Zhao Siwan came in a fierce manner and obtained the open support of Later Shu, their abilities and strength were very limited after all, and they might not pose a threat to Bianliang in a short period of time. Therefore, there was no need for the court to panic too much. First, recruit Chang Si, Bai Wenke, and Guo Congyi to lead their troops to suppress the rebellion, work hard to stabilize the front, and then re-adjust the deployment according to the specific situation.

The old wolf Fu Yanqing and the white horse Gao Xingzhou on the east side have not yet raised the anti-flag. Therefore, the court's strategy is best to temporarily focus on deterrence, supplemented by high officials and generous salaries to show comfort. Guo Wei led 50,000 troops to Puzhou on the south bank of the Yellow River. At the same time, threats were issued to both Yedu and Qingzhou. Then, the court issued an order to grant Fu Yanqing the title of Taibao and Gao Xingzhou the Taiwei, and invited the two to enter the court to assist in the government, but the specific date of entry was decided by the two. In addition, Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing's sons were also appointed as governors and granted the right to establish a government office.

As for the other people who were ready to move, the five ministers of the life-threatening court unanimously suggested that Liu Chengyou pretended not to see it for the time being. After the two biggest fireheads were extinguished, he would free up his hands to bring these villains to justice one by one.

"Your Majesty, these are several strategies mentioned before. Please make the final decision! As for other details, you can add them to the situation when the strategy is implemented. "Su Fengji, deputy prime minister and minister of justice, wrote the best word, and his qualifications are also the most superficial among the five ministers of detention. Therefore, he took the initiative to take on the responsibilities of a clerk, got up and walked aside, copied a series of copywriting of the strategy according to memory, and held it in front of Liu Chengyou with his own hands.

What Liu Chengyou cares about is whether the ministers have an emperor in their eyes. As for how to make a decision, he is not very concerned. Seeing that the five ministers were finally very sensible and left the decision-making power to him, he was not nitpicking. He smiled and nodded, and directly ordered someone to use it to stamp the seal of the emperor.

The military situation was urgent, and the five ministers of the life-threatening court did not dare to delay too much, so they immediately left the palace. Liu Chengyou got up and personally sent everyone to the palace gate, watching the last horse disappear on the long street patiently, then slowly turned around, slowly passed through the silent palace under the spring, and slowly walked towards his sunny dragon throne.

The embroidery puzzles specially used by the five ministers were placed opposite the dragon chaise, forming an arc faintly.

With these five embroidery sills blocking, any danger outside must first cross the arc before reaching the dragon chaise. Any sound from the dragon chaise must also cross the invisible arc before it can be transmitted from the palace gate and into the ears of all the people in the world.

Suddenly, Liu Chengyou seemed to understand why his father left him five life-care ministers instead of six!
