Because the reason Liu Bang summoned the princes of the world this time was to hold an oath of alliance.
The content of the oath is only a very simple sentence, "If the Liu family is not the king, the whole world will fight against it!"
When Liu Bang slaughtered the white horse, smeared his lips with its blood, and swore an oath with everyone, the King of Changsha turned pale with fright and almost fell down.
All the princes must take part in the oath, including the King of Qi, the King of Chu, the King of Zhao, the King of Tang, the King of Jing, and him, the King of Changsha. Among all these kings, he is the only one whose surname is not Liu. According to the content of the oath,
, am I going to die here today?
At that moment, Wu Chen was so frightened that he could not hear what was coming next. He looked around blankly. The ministers immediately swore an oath. The queen seemed to be staring at him. The princes and kings swore with their swords. Even that
The most unreliable thing is that he solemnly swore at this moment: He said that he would kill the king in the world who was not named Liu.
After the oath of alliance ended, Wu Chen came to Liu Bang and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please eliminate the Kingdom of Changsha."
Wu Chen said it very simply, and he wanted to voluntarily give up the Changsha Kingdom.
But Liu Bang scolded: "Your father Wu Rui has made such great contributions and was named the King of Changsha, allowing his heirs to inherit. How dare you say such a thing? You want to ruin your father's life for the rest of his life."
Are all your achievements ruined?!"
Wu Chen was frightened and did not dare to speak.
"Or do you think that I can't even tolerate a doll like you and will kill you? What kind of emperor do you think I am?!"
Liu Bang stretched out his hand and almost attacked Wu Chen.
The relationship between Liu Bang and Wu Rui is still good. It was Wu Rui who took the lead in making Liu Bang the emperor.
Wu Rui was a man with far-sightedness and a kind heart. When he was governing the place, he implemented benevolent policies and was deeply loved by the people. When the ministers mentioned him, they praised him endlessly. He was different from reckless men like Peng Yue and Ying Bu.
He was a relatively gentle man. After his death, his son Wu Chen inherited the title.
Seeing Wu Chen trembling in front of him, Liu Bang did not make a move and pulled him up. "Earlier, Ying Bu conspired to rebel. You ignored your family ties with him and raised your troops to attack. This has proven that you are not Han Xin or Peng Yue.
A traitor like Ying Bu...you can go back to Changsha with peace of mind, govern Changsha well, and don't embarrass your father!"
"only!"
The King of Changsha left in a hurry, but the other princes and kings did not leave. After all, they did not have to worry about whether Liu Bang would suddenly turn against him and have his head chopped off.
It was rare that all the Liu family members gathered together. Liu Bang specially held a huge banquet to entertain these relatives. He even called some important ministers over.
At this moment, Liu Bang seemed very happy. There was nothing that could worry him. The princes and kings with different surnames had been basically eradicated. Liu's strength had also been greatly strengthened. All his good brothers had returned to him. He had
There is nothing to worry about anymore.
The only person who made him a little worried was the prince Liu Ying.
During the banquet, Liu Ying stood up several times and wanted the King of Chu and others to sit in her seat to show respect for the elders. However, this attitude made Liu Bang very dissatisfied.
"Second brother, are you still asking people to eat meat? Father Zhong has just taken a bite of meat, so you have to invite people over. If that doesn't work, why don't you wait until we finish eating?"
Liu Chang shouted carelessly.
Liu Ying smiled awkwardly and then sat down.
Everyone in the Liu family was happy, but the queen didn't look so happy. Her eyes swept over the princes and kings one by one, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
But at this moment, Liu Chang was clinging to Zhang Ao's side, bursting into tears.
"Sister-in-law, when I think about the people of Tang State still living in dire straits, I don't even have the appetite to eat..."
Zhang Ao said with a dark face, "I'm not even a prince now, so you won't let me go?"
"It's not that I don't want to help, I just don't have the financial resources..."
"Yan told me that you have more than two thousand sheep in Shangdang."
"Well, I will take half of it and give it to Tang Guo..."
"Thank you very much, sister-in-law! The people of the Tang Kingdom will never forget my sister-in-law's benevolence and righteousness!"
After Liu Chang had cheated Zhang Ao, he hurriedly started looking for other victims at the banquet. During these days, under the guise of the common people of the Tang Dynasty, this guy really brought a lot of things. Even Zhang Cang was stunned: Master, this
This strategy of begging to govern the country is something I have never heard of. It is truly a genius through the ages!
Suddenly, Liu Chang saw Zong Zheng and Liu Bang at the king-conferring ceremony.
Just as Liu Chang continued to implement his strategy of governing the country, Liu Bang was already singing happily. Liu Chang hesitated for a moment and decided to leave. You can govern the country at any time, so you don't have to endure this!
The princes and kings left anyway, leaving as quickly as they came.
The most regrettable thing is that Zhang Cang also left.
Regarding Liu Chang's begging behavior, Zhang Cang said sincerely: "Continue!"
After sending Zhang Cang away, Liu Chang played like crazy for a few days before being arrested and taken into the familiar Tianlu Pavilion.
Mr. Gai was in class, but Liu Chang was hanging his head and almost fell asleep. He had played so crazily the past few days and he was still tired.
"long!"
Gai Gong woke him up angrily, "Have you developed Confucian bad habits in just a few days?"
"That's not the case... I think of the suffering people of the Tang Dynasty and can't sleep at night..."
Just when get out of class was over, Liu Ruyi suddenly stood up, walked quickly to Gai Gong, knelt down and saluted.
Gai Gong's face was also very solemn. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a few books and handed them to him.
Liu Chang looked at everything blankly and asked gloatingly: "What did he commit?"
"Don't you know? Third brother is leaving tomorrow..."
The smile on Liu Chang's face suddenly disappeared, "Where are you going?"
"Zhao Guo... weren't you also at the banquet a few days ago... My father said it then."
"Oh, I went to study that day and left early."
After thanking the teacher, Liu Ruyi looked at his brothers.
There was a trace of reluctance on his face, "I'm leaving early tomorrow morning to go to the Kingdom of Zhao... Well, a few days ago, I was so happy, but now that I really have to leave, I'm very sad
I don’t want to give it up… If I did something wrong before and offended you, I hope you will forgive me.”
As Liu Ruyi said this, she actually leaned down to salute her brothers. How could the younger brothers dare to accept the courtesy from their elders? They hurriedly avoided it and did not even dare to say so.
"Have you ever apologized like this? You have to kneel down and kowtow a few times before leaving."
Liu Chang said with disdain.
Liu Ruyi rarely got angry or continued to quarrel with Liu Chang. He walked up to Liu Chang with a smile and took off his sword. "Come on, don't you really want this sword? I don't have anything to give."
It's yours, I'll give you this sword. If you miss me, you can..."
"Who will miss you! I'm so happy now that you're gone!"
Liu Chang was furious, pushed Liu Ruyi's sword away, and left angrily.
Liu Ruyi watched him go away without saying anything and said goodbye to the other brothers.
"Brother, please take care of yourself. If something big happens, you need to report it to Chang'an and discuss it with the wise people. You can't make your own decisions..."
Liu Heng said seriously, and then reminded: "The Kingdom of Zhao has encountered great chaos. Brother, you must not rush for quick success. It is best to wait for a few years and wait until the Kingdom of Zhao recovers before doing big things, such as building roads and strengthening cities.
It's a good thing, but if you do it in a hurry, it will turn into a bad thing..."
"I understand, don't worry."
"Brother! I...I can't let you go."
Liu Hui shed tears, grabbed Ruyi's hand, and said reluctantly.
"It's okay. Your fiefdom is very close to mine. In a few years, we can hunt together."
Liu Ruyi said goodbye to his younger brothers and returned to the palace, but Liu Ying was waiting for him. Liu Ying didn't look very happy and had a sullen face.
Liu Ruyi smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, I know your good intentions, but sooner or later I have to go to Fengguo..."
"Remember to write to me... No matter what happens, remember to tell me."
Liu Ying didn't say anything more, she just explained it seriously.
Liu Ruyi gave her brother a cordial hug, and Liu Ying explained a lot more. She didn't leave until night, so as not to disturb Ruyi's rest.
The next day, Liu Ruyi made preparations early in the morning and, accompanied by her attendants, got into the car and left Chang'an.
As soon as Ruyi came to the carriage, she saw a young figure standing beside the carriage.
Liu Ruyi was stunned, walked up to him, bent down, looked at him, and asked with a smile: "Are you here to see me off?"
Liu Chang raised his head, with tears on his face.
"Brother, can you please stop leaving?"
ps: I took a nap at noon and dreamed that I had received an appointment from a great god with a subscription of RMB 30,000 for this book. I woke up with a smile on my face. I was so happy.
