"Mom, King Jing followed my father to fight and took the lead, and all the soldiers obeyed his orders. He has been in Jing Kingdom for many years, and all the ministers are his confidants. Now he wants to make his stepson king. This is not a big deal.
It’s a big event, but unfortunately, the ministers of Jing Kingdom used King Jing’s order to plot rebellion.”
"In times of crisis like this, I can't back down."
Liu Chang said cautiously that if he wanted to leave Chang'an, the emperor's edict alone would not be enough. He also needed his mother's consent.
It's easy to convince my brother, but it's a little more difficult to convince my mother.
Queen Lu said that she would ignore the government affairs, but it did not mean that she gave up her power. Queen Lu did no longer interfere with the affairs of the temple and harem, but the problem was that she still had many supporters in the temple, and many of Lu's relatives also
She has not been weakened by this. Most of the officials are afraid of her and are willing to obey her orders.
When it comes to such a major matter, if Empress Lu refuses, Liu Ying, who seems to have the most power, may not be able to move her.
Queen Lu's face was very calm, and she said almost as soon as Liu Chang spoke: "Okay, let's go."
"However, you are not allowed to do it yourself. Guan Ying has the final say in everything."
Liu Chang took a deep look at Empress Lu and said, "The only people who know about this matter are Your Majesty, me, Chen Ping, and Marquis Guan... It is impossible for my brother to tell my mother, and Guan Ying only obeys the orders of the emperor, so he
Chen Ping?"
"right."
Empress Lu did not hide anything from Liu Chang and said directly: "I had already met Marquis Chen when King Jing passed away."
"Oh, this guy, what brother said about being loyal and good in the court... I knew Chen Ping couldn't believe it."
Liu Chang muttered, "Brother still foolishly thinks that he wants to take care of big things, but in the end, my mother is still making the decision..."
"As an emperor, you can grow, but you can't grow through such a big event. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will cause a serious civil war. After the great man has finally improved, he will definitely not be able to continue the civil war. What's more, Zhao Tuo of South Vietnam
Watching with eager eyes, if there is chaos in the south, Zhao Tuo will definitely turn his back again."
"Okay, I understand, I won't tell my brother."
"Sir...this matter is very important. If there is a war, hundreds of thousands of people will suffer, and Jingchu, Wu and other countries will become another Zhao Kingdom. After the Chen Xi Rebellion, the Zhao Kingdom has never been...
Recovery, if there is a war in the South, this will be more serious, and it may take decades to recover... You cannot underestimate this matter, and you must not act nonsense."
"Don't worry, Mom! I know what to do!"
Looking at Liu Chang who was full of confidence, Empress Lu did not give any more instructions. She knew that her child, who seemed to be naughty, was actually much more reliable than his brother. "I will prepare the things that should be prepared."
I've asked Ji Bu to get ready. I have other things to do, so you can go ahead."
Liu Chang left Jiaofang Palace happily.
Soon after Liu Chang left, Chen Ping came to Jiaofang Hall.
"Chen Hou... Tang Wang is gone... you can rest assured and arrange things."
"The King of Tang is smart and should wait until he leaves Chang'an before making any plans."
Queen Lu's face was a little cold, "I'm afraid they can't bear it first... Have Lu Shizhi given all the instructions?"
"Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to inform Marquis Jiancheng."
"Oh, I need to remind you, lest he doesn't know anything and suddenly dies suddenly."
........
Liu Chang was naturally hanging out with the sages at the moment. He couldn't reveal this matter, which made Liu Chang anxious. He was obviously going to do something earth-shattering, but he couldn't brag about it. He could only wait until he
I will inform everyone when I return from victory.
"Among the clan, I am the most virtuous!"
"This time, I am the one taking charge and going to Jing Kingdom in person to preside over the ceremony and observe the ceremony!"
"I was originally unwilling to go, but despite repeated requests from the ministers, most of the members of the Yan clan were just rats like Ruyi. They were incapable of making great achievements. They were only a few people who had good arts and martial arts. They were admired by the world and had high moral standards. They were worthy of such a big task!
"
Liu Chang said proudly, of course he couldn't talk about arresting the ministers, but he could still brag about the matter of worship.
Zhou Shengzhi said with emotion: "It must be extremely gratifying for King Jing to be able to go and worship in person!"
"It's not about being happy, it's about smiling!"
Lu Lu said hurriedly.
"It's more than just a smile. I'm afraid I wish I could come back to life and come to thank you in person!"
Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Stop talking, the more you talk, the scarier it gets!"
"Then how long will the king have to go?"
Liu Chang thought for a moment and stroked his non-existent beard, "The elders of the clan have a lot to do. They need to appease the kings. They may also have to go to countries such as Chu and Wu to warn their kings and teach them how to govern the country and behave as a human being.
reason."
Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and said timidly: "But Your Majesty... King Chu seems to be your elder?"
"You are the only one who talks a lot!"
Xia Houzao cursed, and then said proudly: "Now the king is the virtuous leader of the clan. Even if he is the king of Chu, when he sees the king, he should pay homage to his descendants!"
"alright!"
Liu Chang stood up and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I have to say goodbye to Master... After I leave, you should also study often, learn the principles of life, and become a wise leader like me as soon as possible!"
"only!"
After everyone paid homage, Liu Chang rushed to Han Xin's residence to say goodbye to Han Xin.
Liu Chang did not tell Han Xin the truth, but the moment Liu Chang said he would take people to worship King Jing, Han Xin almost jumped up and asked with gritted teeth: "Yun Mengze?!"
"Chen Ping?!"
Some things may not sound too sensitive to outsiders, but it may be different if the victim hears them himself.
Liu Chang shook his head innocently, "I'm just accompanying you, I don't know anything."
Han Xin angrily sat in front of Liu Chang and said: "I thought that today's emperor is not like my father and is a wise king. I didn't expect that he is like this! This traitor Chen Ping..."
When Liu Chang left Han Xin's mansion, he could still hear Han Xin's curses from a distance.
So, in Han Dynasty, you can offend Han Xin, but never offend Chen Ping.
The next day, Liu Chang said goodbye to Empress Lu happily and set off immediately.
Liu Ying came to see him off in person, Guan Ying was ready, and Liu Chang stood behind him to say goodbye together.
"No matter what, don't fight to the death. A big man cannot live without a general!"
Liu Ying held Guan Ying's hand and gave gentle instructions, but no matter how she heard these words, she felt like she was forcing Guan Ying to fight to the death to complete this matter.
Guan Ying followed Liu Chang in his expeditions to the north and south. Even small things like leading hundreds of people to capture the ministers of the Jing Kingdom could not move him. He was always calm. Compared with when he led thousands of cavalry to defeat Xiang Yu, he was not moved.
It's not a big deal.
This man is the only fierce man under Liu Bang who has defeated Xiang Yu several times. This is why Chen Ping plans to let him go to Jing Kingdom.
"I have sent people to inform the King of Chu and the King of Wu that after you leave, the King of Chu will lead troops into the Kingdom of Jing... The Kingdom of Jing has no leader and can be quickly pacified."
"Okay, but your Majesty must tell the King of Chu to take control of the school grounds first and not to arrest the soldiers rashly. He should first report the rebellion to the Prime Minister and others, and then appease them with the emperor's edict... When everything goes as before,
Then arrest the lieutenant general of Jing State Army."
Guan Ying finally said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister Wang Ling is a strong man, please control him more, and discuss with Chen Hou first when encountering problems..."
After bidding farewell to His Majesty and Liu Ying leaving the city gate, Guan Ying turned around and looked at the soldiers around him with an extremely serious face, "This time, I can't let you down..."
Halfway through Guan Ying's words, he suddenly stopped and looked around.
“Where is the King of Tang??”
"Where is Prince Tang?!"
"Where is his family member?!"
"Liu...where's Liu Buhao?!"
Guan Ying's eyes widened and he yelled. The leader of the soldiers on the side slowly stepped forward and said: "The king felt agitated, so he took the family and half of the soldiers to take the first step..."
"Chase!!!"
Fortunately, Guan Ying did not lose the Tang king as soon as he left the city. He pursued with his own soldiers and finally caught up with Liu Chang.
With a dark face, Guan Ying took Liu Chang's hand, made him sit on his chariot, and told the soldiers: "You can follow the chariot to the left and right to keep an eye on the King of Tang!"
"only!"
Guan Ying found another twenty soldiers. These twenty soldiers were Guan Ying's own soldiers. He asked these twenty people to take care of the king of Tang and his servants, and then he went on his way with peace of mind.
This is Liu Chang's third trip away from home.
The first time was with Empress Lu, and the second time was with Liu Ying.
Liu Chang stood in the car and looked around. However, the noise of the five hundred people rushing on the road was too great. No people dared to approach at all. They all stayed away. If they accidentally encountered them, they would kneel down and worship at the side. Occasionally they would meet
When the merchants reached the carriage, they were even more frightened and hurriedly made way for the soldiers.
"Hey, eldest sister, your clothes are very nice!"
Liu Chang shouted in the car to his eldest sister who was saluting in the distance. When the woman heard this, she was naturally scared and hurriedly fled the place. For fear that these people would arrest her, Liu Chang helplessly shouted: "You
Don't be afraid! Don't run! I am not a bad person!"
After hearing Liu Chang's words, the girl ran faster.
Guan Ying sat next to Liu Chang with a dark face. He had been a Han general all his life, but he didn't expect that he would become a bandit leader in his old age.
He found that the King of Tang really could not calm down for a moment. On the way, he was happier than meeting Empress Lu when he met a living person. He wanted to drag the person into the chariot to chat, and Guan Ying did not even dare to stay overnight in the county town.
, I'm afraid that I can't stand this guy. Even so, King Tang showed his true nature as a gangster along the way.
Guan Ying was no stranger to this. He vaguely remembered that when he took Emperor Gao out for an outing, Emperor Gao seemed to have the same virtue.
However, Emperor Gao was far worse than Liu Chang. He only talked to Guan Ying all the way, chatting about the women passing by and commenting on their figures and looks. It was really rude... rude. The guy sitting next to him now
, worse than that. Earlier, an extremely beautiful woman passed by. If Guan Ying hadn't stopped her, she would have almost jumped off the carriage.
What's even more frightening is that when he encounters those handsome and handsome men, they are also ready to jump down, which is a bit scary.
But Liu Chang also had his own opinion, "Our country in the Tang Dynasty is poor and lacks talents. My father once told me that people with extraordinary appearance must have abilities! If we don't arrest such people... If we don't invite them to the country of Tang, I feel very sad."
It’s so uncomfortable!”
Guan Ying didn't quite believe what he said. Emperor Gao never refused anyone who came. He had a close servant named Ji Ru.
He secretly stayed alone in the palace and didn't know what he did.
Liu Ying also had a valet named Hong Ru, who was equally charming and graceful. Liu Ying often spent time alone with him in the palace, and she didn't know what she did.
Thinking of this, Guan Ying looked at Liu Chang with a slightly different look.
Never learn this!!
In history, Liu Heng, who was next to ascend the throne, also had male favorites... Emperor Jing also had them, Emperor Wu also had them... How can I put it, Liu Bang's descendants perfectly inherited his advantages, and all of them were welcome to come.
, during the Han Dynasty, more than half of the emperors had male favorites.
However, when you think about the fact that the Liu Bang family was once a noble of the Wei State, you can understand it. After all, the Wei State is, right, the hometown of Lord Long Yang. Everyone knows that the Wei State has a long history of good men.
The group finally arrived at Nanyang County.
This is Liu Chang's first visit to Nanyang County. Nanyang County and Chang'an have completely different scenery.
After learning that King Tang and Guan Ying were coming, the officials from Nanyang County hurriedly came to greet them.
Liu Chang stood proudly on the carriage. After everyone paid homage to him, he asked: "Who are you?"
"My lord, Cheng Fuzhong of Nanyang County, pays homage to your Majesty!"
When Liu Chang heard this, he became furious and cursed: "I came from Chang'an, why didn't the county governor come to greet me in person?!"
"The magistrate is busy...I couldn't welcome him in person...I hope your Majesty will forgive me..."
"Presumptuous! How dare you be so rude to the king?!" Zhang Buyi stood up first and cursed angrily: "Who is the Nanyang County Governor? If he dares to offend the king, he should be killed!"
Luan Bu then said with a straight face: "Please give the order, your Majesty, I will lead people to arrest the county guard!"
Seeing the appearance of these two people, Guan Ying was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said coldly: "The King of Tang passed by this place on behalf of the emperor, how could the county guard not come? Liu Buhai! You take people to capture that county.
Bring me Mamoru!"
"only!"
Liu Buhui left the place with dozens of soldiers in a furious manner. The county magistrate was frightened. He had heard about the bad reputation of the Tang Dynasty King, but he did not expect that he was so evil. Just because he did not come to pay homage, he wanted to be punished.
Execution of a county guard without authorization? He wanted to plead for mercy, but he was afraid of getting burned and was so frightened that he trembled all over and dared not speak.
While the people from the county stood tremblingly not far away, talking in low voices, Guan Ying said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's a good plan... But it's up to your Majesty to bear the bad name again."
"Oh, my bad reputation is too numerous to describe, and it will be a pain to future historians."
Liu Chang didn't care. He did this because he was worried that Jing would do the same. He only sent a few subordinates to greet him. Wouldn't that be a bad thing?
Guan Ying's face softened a little, and he looked at the other family members, "It's better that you reacted quickly."
"What's the reaction?"
Zhang Buyu asked in confusion.
"Hahaha, I have always looked down on Zhang Sheren, but I didn't expect...I have learned a lesson!" Guan Ying said seriously, while Zhang Buyu was just confused.
Seeing Zhang Buyi's appearance, Guan Ying couldn't help but sigh. There are so many talents under the command of the King of Tang Dynasty. If nothing else, just look at Zhang Buyi's performance. His performance is so real!
After a while, Liu Buhai escorted the county guard here. The county guard's face was red. There are not many counties nowadays, so the county guard's status is also very high. They are basically the reserve team of the three gongs and nine ministers. And these
He was a county guard, and Guan Ying knew him. Lu Qing, the Marquis of Chang, was also a fierce man who followed Liu Bang in the war.
Lu Qing said angrily: "I govern Nanyang for the emperor. I am busy with everything and cannot greet him in person. How can the king blame me for this?"
"Hey, here comes someone, drag him down and kill him!"
Liu Chang waved his little hand, and Liu Buhui escorted Lu Qing aside. Lu Qing was shocked and said hurriedly: "Is your Majesty planning to rebel? I am not guilty!!"
Guan Ying got out of the car and followed Liu Bushe. Lu Qing looked at Guan Ying and shouted, "Why doesn't Marquis Guan save me?!"
Guan Ying asked in a low voice: "What is the governor busy with?"
"Of course...the emperor has an edict, you know what it is!"
"Since you know, then why don't you come to greet me in person?!"
When Guan Ying said this, Lu Qing quickly understood that in this era, the Han Dynasty was really full of talents. Any county guard could pull out a fierce man who had followed Han Xin and killed Xiang Yu.
Those who fought against the Xiongnu and fought against Chen Xi, these people who were killed from the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, basically none of them were incompetent, and all of them were marquises. This configuration was something that the entire Han Dynasty had never had.
"Your Majesty! I plead guilty! I am guilty!!"
Lu Qing shouted, and Guan Ying walked up to Liu Chang and said, "The Nanyang County Sheriff has confessed his crime. Your Majesty, can you pardon his death penalty?"
"The death penalty can be avoided, but he is disrespectful to me! Guan Hou, please punish him personally!"
"only!!"
When Guan Ying raised his whip and beat Lu Qing severely, all the officials in Nanyang knelt in front of Liu Chang to apologize. Liu Chang continued to raise his head and maintained his image of a domineering king. After Lu Qing was carried off,
Liu Changcai led everyone into Nanyang County.
The climate in Nanyang County is much warmer than that in Chang'an. The clothes of the people are no different from those in Chang'an. Only the crowns worn by the scholars are a little different. The people's daily speech is difficult to understand, and the dialect is extremely
Seriously, even if Liu Chang wanted to chat with them, he couldn't, which made Liu Chang very helpless.
Of course, Guan Ying is always by his side.
Guan Ying didn't want to stay in these counties for a long time, and he didn't even go in very often. When he occasionally stayed in any county, Liu Chang would go shopping with his family members as if it were a holiday. When Guan Ying wanted to stop him, he said he was buying them for Empress Lu.
Gifts and infant feeding can no longer be persuaded.
"Ji Bu, you are from Chu, can you understand what they say?"
"Know a little bit."
"Then the elder sister just said something to me with a smile. What did she say?"
"Well... Your Majesty, it's better not to ask."
"Could it be that you're courting me??"
Liu Chang became excited.
"Uh...", Ji Bu shook his head, "Your Majesty, it's better not to ask...just leave quickly."
When they arrived at Hengshan County, the county guard here had been waiting for them for a long time.
This person probably also heard about Lu Qing's experience. He stepped forward with a smile and led everyone to salute, "Greetings to the king!"
Liu Chang looked at them for a long time and then asked: "Are these the only people in Hengshan?!"
"Your Majesty, things are busy in Hengshan, so I left some of my people to work and brought the rest of the officials to pay homage..."
"You traitor! I came here and only brought these people to see me. You clearly look down on me! Luan Bu! Drag this guy down and kill him!"
ps: I typed the keyboard so hard that one of the keys failed. I have to buy another keyboard... I wrote early today, maybe I can add a small chapter... Please give me a monthly ticket, anyway.
