Everyone who came to greet him knew why Liu Jian was so angry at the moment.
Before His Majesty left, Chao Cuo publicly wrote a letter in the temple, impeaching the King of Wu and the King of Jiaodong for conducting wars of conquest overseas and expanding territory, and was suspected of treason.
The reactions of the two princes and kings were completely different. King Wu responded by writing a letter to apologize, taking the initiative to explain the reasons for sending troops, drawing accurate maritime maps, and describing in detail the situation of the strongholds in various places, using a kind of
He explained his merits in an unclear way, showing that he had no intentions of rebellion and was just seeking greater interests for the Han Dynasty. Chao Cuo could not say anything more about this and was quite unhappy.
The King of Jiaodong was obviously more impatient. He was already young. As the youngest son of Emperor Gao, he was not much older than Liu An and was raised by Liu Ying.
When he learned that Chao Cuo said that he was plotting rebellion, he immediately became anxious and wrote directly to Liu Chang, saying that he was coming to Chang'an!
The princes and kings could not leave the princely states privately, but no one stipulated that they could not return to Chang'an in their lifetime. In fact, the princes and kings had to come to Chang'an frequently to visit the emperor and talk about the local situation. Failure to do so would be treason. Of course, Liu Chang didn't care.
For these reasons, if the princes and kings were busy with matters, he would not force them to come to see them. Liu Chang did not approve Liu Jian's letter to Chang'an, asking him to worry about overseas affairs in peace and not to be so impulsive.
Liu Jian submitted another letter, but the content of his later letter was that Liu An was here to interrogate.
For unknown reasons, Liu An actually approved King Jiaodong's petition and allowed King Jiaodong to come.
According to reliable reports, it was King Jiaodong who wrote a letter to the Supreme Emperor, saying that he had not seen his mother and brother for a long time, and he missed his mother and brother very much and wanted to return to Chang'an to see them.
The Supreme Emperor came to ask the Crown Prince for permission, but the Crown Prince couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.
Liu Jian looked angrily in the direction of the ministers, as if he wanted to find the thief who framed him.
King Jiaodong stared at Chao Cuo, looking extremely angry.
"Your Majesty!! This throne is simply designed for you. You really can't sit on my seat unless you straighten your legs. If someone else sits on your seat, their legs will be hanging. Hahaha,
It’s simply destiny! It’s destiny! This is what Ashoka created for you!!”
"Your sister-in-law was so happy when she heard you were coming. Let's go!"
"I want all the countries in Shendu to become vassals of the Han from now on and start paying tribute. In order to defeat Shendu this time, the country will spend a lot of money. I can't do anything at a loss, right?"
Liu Ying is of extraordinary significance to Liu Jian. Emperor Gao had passed away when Liu Jian was still a baby. After all, Emperor Gao had lived to be an old man. At such an age, he could still survive before his death.
There is something to be said for leaving a little baby behind. Before he left the country, it was Liu Ying who raised him by her side and doted on him as his own son.
Chao Cuo was sitting opposite the King of Jiaodong. Chao Cuo didn't take the King of Jiaodong seriously at all. Since Liu Chang went on an expedition, the relationship between Chao Cuo and the prince had become particularly harmonious. The two often got together, and many times they could
Seeing that Chao Cuo left the Hall of Houde very late, he was currently in charge of various countries' funding for the war. He was frantically draining the wealth accumulated by various countries in the name of war. Even if the princes and kings knew Chao Cuo's plan, they would not do it.
This is what they should do, and Chao Cuo is a conspiracy. Unless they really intend to rebel, they will still have to pay the money.
Liu Ci interrupted Dong Zhongshu, "What you said is a bit arbitrary. Chao Cuo just doesn't like the unpromising princes. Look at me, he has never dealt with me! He still likes me!"
Liu Bang's children are somewhat similar to each other, such as Liu Ying, Liu Heng, and Liu Le. These three look very similar, and their faces are exactly the same. Liu Chang, Liu You, and Liu Jian look very similar, and their eyes are the same.
Rather sharp, Liu Hui is actually more similar to his eldest brother Liu Fei, with a round face, but the influence of body shape is a bit big. As for the third guy, he looks like their father, and he has similarities with each of them.
As long as he can deal with Chao Cuo, they welcome him, even if he is a foreign king.
"Actually, His Majesty has already conquered the whole body poison. Bai Cheng has been defeated, and Peacock has no fighting power. He only needs to keep one qualified minister, and he can slowly recover the whole body poison."
"Get up."
Liu Chang sat on the throne. The throne was golden in color, and the armrests were inlaid with various gems. The throne was extremely tall, and the king could lean back and lean on it. But for Liu Chang, this throne was just right.
Liu Jian looked at his eldest brother excitedly. His appearance had not changed much, except for a little bit of silvery white appearing in his hair. He was very thin, with only his tall frame left. This kind of emaciation made him see
He looks mean, but his eyes are kind and gentle.
Liu Ying looked at him suspiciously, but didn't ask any more questions.
At this moment, a person came forward and said calmly: "King Jiaodong should follow us to the palace as soon as possible. The Supreme Emperor is waiting."
There is not only one chair in the palace, but also many chairs on both sides. These chairs are also very luxurious, but they are shorter than the throne. Liu Chang is already tall, and the chair is high. Now, the gap between him and everyone else is just
It's bigger. King Asoka was definitely not very tall at first, or in other words, he really enjoyed the feeling of being superior. The throne he designed was so outrageous that Liu Chang felt like he really became a giant when he sat on it.
, there were some children around, looking at me in shock.
Liu Ying said seriously: "I saw your petition, but I didn't agree. I don't want you to come back and have any dispute with Chao Cuo. I don't know why An agreed, but I don't want to see you and Chao Cuo."
Fighting. He is not an easy person to deal with, and now he is gone."
Liu Ci was struck by lightning.
Liu Ying smiled bitterly and cursed: "I can't catch you now!!"
It's a pity that the golden palace built by generations of Mauryan Empire has been used as a wedding dress for others.
"He still had very important things to do, so he didn't come to greet him."
Liu Ci was frightened.
"King Maurya, you are responsible for contacting all countries. Inform them as soon as possible. Anyone who dares to ignore it will be cooked!"
The nobles of Peacock stood up in a hurry, paid their respects in a decent Han Dynasty manner, and said in unison: "As you wish!!!"
Liu Jian shook his head and looked at the ministers in front of him with a cold expression, "I just can't stand you people."
Liu Jian touched his nose and said, "Brother, Chao Cuo has gone too far to deceive others. Please stop caring about this matter. I must seek justice."
Lu Tazhi asked doubtfully.
“Thank you so much, mom!!!”
It is said that it was built by King Ashoka.
Liu Jian's first stop was here. He was coming to see the Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother had never regarded children other than Liu Ying and Liu Chang as her own sons, in name, she was still the legitimate mother of princes and kings from all over the world.
When she was present, these people could not even call their biological mother mother, but only aunt. Liu Jian had not seen the Queen Mother for a long time. When he came here, Liu Jian put away all his bad temper and became well-behaved.
He was like Liu Ci who had just been beaten. He didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Empress Lu, but lowered his head and gave a big salute.
That is to help the king to check and balance the ministers.
Fahrenheit City, Maurya Palace.
"Where is his mansion?!"
Liu Jian finally met the Queen Mother, who was already very old.
And his tall figure is just like the incarnation of a certain god in their mythology.
The ministers were not surprised. They were not too enthusiastic about King Jiaodong, but they were not indifferent either. They knew why King Jiaodong appeared here.
Lu Tazhi said cautiously.
In just a few days, Liu Chang's reputation once again spread throughout the whole body.
Liu Jian excitedly threw himself at Liu Ying, and the force almost threw Liu Ying onto her back.
It is said that he defeated a war elephant with a stick.
Dong Zhongshu said nothing, but Xia Houci stuck out his big head and said, "Your Majesty, is it because we are too weak and others don't bother to deal with us?"
The person who spoke was Lu Lu. King Jiaodong glanced at Lu Lu. Although he was still very angry, he did not refuse. Lu Lu was of the same generation as him and was his brother's best friend. Liu An took Zhongfu's hand and went up.
He got into the carriage and drove towards Chang'an.
Queen Lu looked at King Jiaodong calmly. Queen Lu still had no good feelings towards the princes and kings, but at the same time, she no longer had any hostility. Now Queen Lu no longer needs to deal with these people with all her strength. Her son is very promising.
Enough to suppress all the princes and kings.
In the Han Dynasty, people still sat on their knees, but people with poisonous bodies had long used chairs, such as the king's chair today.
In the Peacock Kingdom, which is extremely superstitious, the joke of Xiahou Zao is even very reasonable.
"Brother!!!"
She didn't care about these princes and kings. After seeing Liu Jian pay homage to him, her eyes softened a lot when she looked at the child in front of her who looked more and more similar to him.
The Peacock Palace was built by the Peacock Empire. In order to show their status, the Peacock emperors never tired of building this huge palace. It took four generations of kings more than a hundred years to complete the construction. The scale of this palace is not the same.
It is not inferior to Liu Chang's Weiyang Palace, and even exceeds it in terms of luxury. The entire palace floor is paved with exquisite stones, and the roads are decorated with jewelry. Everything is golden.
When the Han people were crazy about using gold for burials, the Shendu people were also crazy about using gold to decorate buildings.
But Liu Chang didn't care much about these.
Liu Ying took Liu Jian's hand and entered the inner hall. Liu Jian hurriedly paid homage to Cao Cao.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say that defeating Baicheng and subduing the peacock is enough? Why do you want them to come to see you again?"
After all the peacock nobles left, Ali was about to get up and leave, but Liu Chang stopped him, scolded him displeasedly, and asked him to sit down.
The three of them sat together happily, enjoying this hard-won warm moment.
Liu Jian, King of Jiaodong, appeared at the court meeting the next day.
In addition to fighting wars and paying tribute, the princes and kings also had a very important purpose.
"Your Highness!!! The King of Jiaodong came to Chang'an and came to see the Crown Prince without taking a bath. It is really disrespectful! I ask Your Highness to punish him!!!"
Liu Chang quickly set off a "Liu Chang worship" in his body, and there were more and more rumors about him. Those who initially refused to meet the Han envoys were now begging for the Han envoys to come.
The main reason is that he knows the majesty in front of him too well. How should I put it? When your majesty leaves, Ye Ruyi is out of control and cannot be controlled. Lu Tazhi is very worried that your majesty has the intention to continue to move westward.
As time goes by, the war gets further and further out of control.
"I'm going to hold a family dinner tonight, and I'll invite all my children and the eldest children to come, too."
"I'm very happy that you can come to Chang'an to visit me. Yes, come and enjoy the beautiful clothes."
Liu Jian was particularly excited. This may be the first time that the Queen Mother has shown such kindness to him.
Xiahou Zao also looked at Liu Chang and suddenly laughed.
During Liu Chang's time, they forgot a very important thing.
"Why, is he still busy trying to frame the princes and princes everywhere?!"
Liu Chang glanced at him and said, "If the news does not reach him, I will cook you. If the news does reach him and he does not come, I will cook him."
Dong Zhongshu said seriously: "Chao Gong impeached King Jiaodong for treason. King Jiaodong came here. On the one hand, he wanted to prove that he had no intention of treason. On the other hand, he wanted to confront Chao Cuo. This is normal. Chao Gong has always disliked the princes everywhere.
, the King of Jiaodong comes here this time, I am afraid there will be instability in Chang'an again."
"Of course it's to regain them. We've come here, we can't just go back after the fight, right?"
Liu Chang did not take action against the Peacock Kingdom. He just made an appearance. The Peacock King cried and confessed, and Liu Chang entered the city in a big way.
In the past, when he sat there, he was only a head taller than everyone else, but now, with Liu Chang's size sitting on it, he really turned into a giant, looking down at everyone.
Liu Chang changed into a comfortable posture, sat carelessly on the throne of the Peacock Empire, and looked at the people under his command.
The Peacock King was horrified, stopped talking nonsense, and quickly agreed.
"Forget it, I won't interfere anymore. You can just figure it out for yourself. Just don't suffer any loss. If you really can't help it, just come to me."
Liu An was silent for a moment and then said, "Father Zhong, Chao Cuo is not here."
"There are six big countries in Shendu and hundreds of small cities. I want the kings of all the countries in Shendu to come to Huashi City in person to pay homage to me. If they are unwilling to come, I will destroy their country!"
The poison in the body has begun to completely turmoil. Many kings of small countries went out with their people to see the king. The local monks and the priests also wanted to see the god.
The ministers narrowed their eyes, has this begun?
Liu Jian stood up and said angrily: "Your Highness! There are many traitors in the court! They frame foreign kings, alienate fathers, sons and brothers, and are unscrupulous. If they are allowed to act like this again, I am afraid something big will happen!!"
Chao Cuo.
This is more terrifying than Ashoka beating a lion with a stick.
"Hahaha, okay, brother, I was on the road today, and I met this guy named Qi, who is exactly like my seventh brother. His words and actions shocked me. Don't tell me, I really enjoyed beating him.
It feels like beating my seventh brother!!"
Since the Peacock Kingdom began to interact with the Han Dynasty, their nobles have consciously begun to learn elegant language. After all, they have to do business.
"Jian. Are you here this time to deal with Chao Cuo?"
The Peacock King hurriedly agreed, and then asked with some uncertainty: "Do the Daxia Kingdom also need to come to see you? They are not poisonous people, they are all cunning. Please forgive me for telling the truth. They
They are all cunning evil people and will not serve you sincerely."
While talking about the current situation, the topic unknowingly turned to Liu Chang.
After coming out of the Queen Mother's place, the second stop is Liu Ying's place.
The generals sat on the right hand side of Liu Chang, and the nobles of Peacock sat on the left. The nobles looked at Liu Chang with fear in their eyes.
At that moment, the court was in an uproar.
"That Zhuzi is probably poisoned. I don't know the specific situation. Anyway, Chang'an is very busy inside and outside, and they are constantly transporting food there. Maybe a war has started."
"The war has already begun. Jiaodong Kingdom alone has sent 800,000 shi of food, but I heard it is still not enough."
Xiahou Zao's words made the Peacock Kingdom nobles sitting on the left even more frightened.
Being deprived of his position, the Mauryan King was not dissatisfied at all.
"I know, brother!"
"Either become my vassal state and obey my edict from now on, or follow his kingdom to the ground!"
As he spoke, Liu Ying suddenly became serious.
But the three little guys stayed here and were not taken into the car by Liu An.
At this moment, the only people sitting in front of Liu Chang were the generals of the Han Dynasty.
The person who spoke was not Chao Cuo, but a certain censor. Chao Cuo supported a large number of confidants, and the entire censor's palace belonged to him. Now he didn't have to charge personally, he had his own vanguard to launch the battle.
Liu Ci scratched his head, "My father-in-law came all the way here just to settle the score with Chao Cuo??"
The cavalry of the Han Dynasty still roamed this land. They were responsible for attacking the small countries that had been rude to the envoys of the Han Dynasty or robbed and killed merchants of the Han Dynasty. These small countries were defeated in front of the Han Dynasty and could not stop them for a moment.
day.
He looked at everyone seriously.
Could it be that I am a vassal king who even Chao Cuo is not willing to deal with?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!!
Changle Palace, Shou Palace.
Although she was very clean, her hair was already full of white hair. She was thin and small, as if she had shrunk. Her clothes seemed a bit inappropriate on her body. On her weather-beaten face, only her eyes were still bright.
, when she stared at Liu Jian, Liu Jian felt that he was completely seen through and felt very uncomfortable.
Chao Cuo couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up suddenly and said, "Are you trying to intimidate His Highness?!!"
Liu Chang looked at Ali Dojia, "Alei, do you think people from Daxia will come to see me?"
Ali shook his head, "He won't come. They have been fighting with Peacock for so many years, how can they dare to enter Fahrenheit City?"
"Then if I go to join them, what are my chances of winning?"
