At that moment, Deng Qi's face changed drastically. He jumped up suddenly and drew out his long sword. Everyone sitting beside him was like this. However, the door was brutally kicked open and a man walked in without an expression on his face.
After that man, the soldiers came out one after another and surrounded them in an instant. The powerful crossbow in their hands was aimed directly at it, and the crossbow arrow flashed with a cold light.
Deng Qi's forehead was covered with sweat. He looked at the crossbow-held soldiers and felt desperate.
At this distance, even the brave and brave emperor who is known to the world, there is absolutely no way out, let alone those of them. Using swords to fight against powerful crossbows is something that even gods cannot do.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Deng Qi was stunned. The first thing he thought of was a rebel beside him. He looked at the powerful people around him, but these people were even more frightened than him. Several of them were slumped on the ground.
It was full of tears.
"Wang Tianqi is impossible, it is impossible, how can you be possible?"
Deng Qi thought he was self-righteous and had already learned about the situation here before he came to Chang'an. He sent his disciples to contact the powerful people in Chang'an. Those people were absolutely impossible to betray him, and they went
The people who persuaded Lu Chan had no relationship with him. Before today, he had never even seen these powerful people. And today's meeting was not abnormal, because most of the powerful people who were doing had relatives with Deng Qi.
After finishing the business, he got together with his relatives and friends. What's wrong with this? In addition, he has been very low-key during this period and has not participated in anything.
He had no idea why Wang Tianqi came to him so quickly and locked himself directly.
He didn't show any of his flaws.
Wang Tianqi's expression was very calm, not surprising at all, "Take all these people down."
The soldiers rushed over immediately, but these people had no chance to resist. They were tied up like lambs with their feet facing the sky. This was a very humiliating way of binding. Treating people who might be guilty was behind their hands.
Binding is just tied up with your hands. For those who have been convicted and have committed serious crimes, this second method of binding will be adopted, just like the livestock waiting to be killed, with their hands and legs tied together, and then carried by the soldiers
When Deng Qi went out, his eyes suddenly turned red and he was breathing heavily.
Wang Tianqi waved his hand, and the soldiers carried the livestock to be slaughtered and left the inner room.
There are more soldiers outside, and they have even started searching here.
A young man stood beside Wang Tianqi. The young man stared at Deng Qi who was being carried out for a long time, then nodded, "It's him."
Deng Qi only felt that the young man looked familiar and was taken away without having time to see more.
Wang Tianqi shook his head, "I didn't expect that even A has saved it. This person's crimes in the local area are more than enough to kill the nine clans. By the way, and you, I did a good job this time, I will show you the credit.
.”
The young boy hurriedly saluted, "This is what I should do."
Wang Tianqi shook his head gently, "If you have merit, you need to reward me. Go and do your own things. Remember, you must do your work so seriously in the future!"
"only!!"
Seeing the young man leave, a smile appeared on Wang Tianqi's face. Speaking of which, the matter can be investigated so quickly, because this young man named Shi Jian, this guy is not an unknown person, and has a good qualification.
Shen, when Wang Tianqi was investigating this matter, he placed the main target among the county magistrates, because Wang Tianqi felt that it was too crazy to offend the empress dowager just to prevent Chao Cuo and the Taiwei from jointly rectifying the temple.
Normal people will definitely not do this, especially those in Chang'an. For them, the harm of Chao Cuo and the Taiwei joining forces is far less than that, so great that they can offend the Empress Dowager.
Wang Tianqi started from the interests and believed that Chao Cuo's behavior would definitely kill some people, so the other party took action regardless of everything and would rather offend the Empress Dowager.
When Chao Cuo wants to rectify the local area, the benefits must be in the local area. Therefore, Wang Tianqi conducted a round of investigations of the county magistrates in various places, and then found evidence of the county magistrates in various places, more or less, and he found that Ji
The county magistrate of Yin County seemed to be a bit too clean and too artificial. After randomly reviewing his political achievements and resume, Wang Tianqi discovered a big problem, such as his bandit suppression last year, and this last year
A county magistrate led people to suppress the bandits, and was injured and killed more than 30 thieves. This is considered a great contribution. However, why did the local county magistrate not report the thieves here before?
Can this thief appear out of thin air? The county magistrate didn't even have time to report, so the county magistrate led people to clean up?
The county magistrate's letter said that a group of thieves gathered recently and were then destroyed by the county magistrate. This action is very rapid.
Moreover, Jiyin is not far from Chang'an, but this county magistrate came after most county magistrates arrived. Are he avoiding suspicion? Are he making a proof of his absence?
The more Wang Tianqi looked at it, the more wrong he became, so he focused on checking the people he suspected, sent to supervise them, and sent people to the local area to collect evidence. Just so happened that he met the little officer who inspected Chang'an. This little officer had no special skills.
He was very cautious, and he was so cautious. When he was inspecting, he found that there were people with suspicious whereabouts wandering in Dongcheng, which is the area where the powerful often lived. He stopped him and found nothing, but later he was
In front of the Taiwei Mansion, he recognized at a glance that the person with suspicious whereabouts was the master of the county magistrate. He immediately found Wang Tianqi and informed the other party of his discovery.
Then Wang Tianqi led the people to ambush around him, and when they were gathering, they rushed in directly.
Even without this officer, Wang Tianqi could capture this person. As long as he had done evil, there would be no perfect hidden truth and would always leave traces.
And the reason why he was so anxious was because Chao Cuo's behavior was related to his life. Once he lost control of the place, his previous behavior would be enough to make him kill the clan Wang Tianqi discover that this person did everything in the place.
Political achievements framed the people into thieves and killed them wantonly. In the name of thieves, they attacked officials who wanted to report him, arranged their confidants to treat the army as their own private soldiers, and accumulated huge wealth through bribery and looting. No wonder they were eager to jump over the wall
There is no way out.
Wang Tianqi shook his head again. These people were like this. They always thought they were doing perfectly. Because of their uneasiness, they kept persuading themselves, but in the end they deceived themselves. They believed that there was no mistake in their actions and that they would never be allowed to be.
However, this time, I didn’t even need to hide my armor. Just those charges were found to be merciful.
Of course, the powerful people involved in this matter still have to have a family. The Empress Dowager said that she should be shocked once and not be vague.
Wang Tianqi left here lightly, leaving only a faint smell of blood.
At this moment, six more county magistrates came to Chang'an, and Guan A and Chen Mai were quite special. After coming to Chang'an, they just hang out with Liu Chang and did not go to see Chao Cuo.
And Chao Cuo did not send anyone to summon them.
The other four are also from extremely far away places.
On this day, Liu Chang and the princes gathered at the Weishui Wharf.
The soldiers were on guard around, and the people were not allowed to approach here. Liu Chang looked at the Wei River in the distance, and the waves were surging. He cleared his throat and looked at King Zhao who was beside him, "Ruyi, write a poem to the Wei River,
It's limited to you within seven steps!"
Liu Ruyi's face twitched. At this moment, he was not in a state of trouble with Liu Chang. He just turned his head and continued to whisper something to King Liang.
Liu Chang's mentality always adjusts the fastest, and quickly walks out of the shadow of Liu Ying's death.
Seeing that Ruyi was not good, Liu Chang looked at Liu An again.
Liu An was silent for a moment, "Father. I am not good at poetry. I heard that the King of Chu is good at writing and often writes poetry in his mansion."
Liu Yingke smiled and looked at the Wei River in front of him. He was already very excited. If he hadn't been frustrated by that man, he would have recited a poem long ago. Our King of Chu was very good at it.
Although the poetry and essays have been cut off in the next generation, it is still quite good in his own generation. Facing everyone's eyes, Liu Yingke gently muttered:
"The Wei River is waving, the piano and zither are chanting, the sound is far away, and the posture is bright~~~~"
Not only Liu Chang, but the other people's faces also became complicated. After Liu Yingke finished reciting his excellent poem, everyone was a little silent and the atmosphere was quite stiff. Liu An looked around and said, "
OK, Zhongfu wrote well, comparing the sound of the river to the sound of the zither and the posture to the beauty. Although it is not next to each other at all, after careful consideration, it still has a unique flavor, which is really good.”
Everyone then praised him, and Liu Yingke was a little happy, "Excessive praise, excessive praise."
Liu Ci whispered to Liu Liang beside him: "Didn't you say that the King of Chu is good at literary style? That's the level?"
The kings gathered by the Wei River, on the one hand, to see the scenery here, and on the other hand, to wait for two important figures.
The King of Wu and the King of Nanyue will arrive here today.
The King of Nanyue is the oldest among the kings today, and the King of Wu is the one with the highest prestige among the kings. Seeing that everyone was fine, Liu Chang said to his second brother all day long, and was afraid that they would get sick, so he took them to travel.
Weishui is also waiting for these two people to come.
Just as the princes and kings recited poems to the Wei River and discussed future development strategies. They were talking nonsense, a building ship appeared in the distance, and there were several warships around the building ship, slowly heading towards
When he was driving here, Liu Chang looked at the boat, for some reason, but suddenly felt relieved.
He is obviously just his fourth brother, but Liu Heng can give Liu Chang a feeling that he can't give him a wish. How can I say it? It's like his backer has arrived. There is no need to worry anymore, there is someone to rely on.
On the boat, an old man with white hair was hunched over and was looking at the grand scene on the distant shore.
"Chang'an has changed again. I can't keep up with the times. Alas, I'm afraid I can't remember the road to Chang'an."
Zhao Tuo said, sighing again as he sighed at the rapid passing of time.
Liu Heng stood beside him, looking at the situation on the shore, frowned and said nothing.
When they approached the pier, they happened to see the vast crowd of people in the distance, various vassal flags, horse-drawn carriages, and those familiar people.
Zhao Tuo was stunned and then said, "Your Majesty really values us. This is the kings who are here to welcome them together. What an honor. First! Getting your clothes and clothes for me!!"
Of course, Liu Heng saw those people, and he said, "They are at this pier, and the people and merchants cannot get close to each other. I don't know how many fishermen are delayed or how many merchants are delayed."
Zhao Tuo looked at him incredibly, "The emperor led the kings to welcome him. What are you thinking about here? You can keep some gods later, but don't scold him in front of you anymore.
You have a kind heart. You have to cherish such an honor!"
Liu Heng ignored the old man and just looked at the brother who was waving his hands in the distance calmly.
The boat docked, and the two princes walked down one after another.
Zhao Tuo had no polite thoughts and got off the ship first. The princes and kings saluted one after another to show their respect for the old man. Zhao Tuo paid a visit to Liu Chang, but found that the eyes of the prince had been floating behind him, which made Zhao Tuo
He was so angry that he immediately paid homage to the other princes and kings. When Liu Heng walked down, Liu Chang had not spoken yet, but Liu Xiang had already walked forward crying, "Father Zhong."
Liu Heng sighed, held Liu Xiang's hand, whispered a few words of comfort, and then looked at the many brothers.
"His Majesty."
"Third brother."
"Fifth brother."
Liu Heng saluted one by one, and everyone met and felt a lot of emotion. President Liu stood beside Liu Heng, "Fourth Brother, go to the imperial tomb first?"
"Imperial Mausoleum."
Liu Chang and Liu Heng got into a car, and the other princes got into their own cars, walked towards the ling in a mighty way. In the car, Liu Chang finally had the opportunity to be alone with his fourth brother.
The two of them sat in the car, but didn't know how to speak.
"Long time. Don't do things like this again. It's wrong to disturb the people. Even if it's only one or two days, it may cause inestimable losses to the people. Some things are just casual for you, but they can do them to the people.
It may also be a huge disaster inside and outside Chang'an. There are many places to go, and there is no need to occupy such an important pier. Next time, princes and kings come from the waterside, and they can set up a separate and simple stop place."
Liu Heng began his familiar teachings, but Liu Chang breathed a sigh of relief and became extremely calm inside.
"Fourth brother. I understand."
"Be sure to pay attention later."
"And your clothes. Oh, why use such luxurious clothes? Your clothes are enough for ordinary people to eat for a year."
Liu Heng was still the same, pointing at Liu Chang, and Liu Chang accepted it all without refuting or muttering.
Finally, Liu Heng took the initiative to hold his brother's hand, "It's so long, I know you're suffering. How difficult things in the temple are. I know that if there is anything, remember to tell me, don't hide it. That's it.
You can also discuss matters with Chao Cuo. Don’t think that you are alone. You have six brothers and one younger brother. Although the eldest and second brothers are not alive, their souls are all watching you and will protect you.
Brother has always been happy. Before you grow up, he was always worried. When you establish such a prosperous era, he does what he likes every day, carefree, and I don’t know how much I am grateful to you.”
"So too. If we were not for you, how could I show my skills in Wu? You are in Chang'an, I would have no worries or fears in my heart. Everything can be done and the strong help from the temple. King Zhao,
King Yan, King Liang, King Qi, there is no one who is not like this. How can there be such a blessing in the world? It is really a blessing to have a younger brother like you."
Liu Heng said these words calmly. As soon as he looked up, he saw Liu Chang with tears flashing, staring at him.
Liu Heng subconsciously wiped his tears, "Okay, don't do this, what do you want me to help?"
"It's just the matter of reducing the vassal states"
"Well, Chao Cuo, right?"
Liu Heng was not surprised at all, "Chao Cuo was right. The princes were too strong, which would definitely cause civil strife. Moreover, if the power of the princes was not restricted, the world could not be truly unified. We are still fine now,
But for the sake of future considerations, the royal power still has to be restricted. Brothers, you are not easy to come forward. I can understand this, let’s see Chao Cuo myself and handle this matter together, you can
Eat and drink with peace of mind and ignore it.”
Liu Chang whispered: "Fourth brother, Chao Cuo will not cooperate with the princes."
"Well, then I'll work with him in another capacity."
"Ah? What other hidden identity does the Fourth Brother have??"
Liu Heng gave him a blank look and no answer.
Everyone gathered before Liu Ying again. This time, everyone was probably all together. Only Liu Qi, Liu Xu, and the King of Dian from a further distance had not arrived yet, but Liu Chang was not going to wait for them. They were really too
It’s far away, and when they arrive, I’m afraid that the filial piety period will be over.
Liu Heng also placed his sewn clothes here and left them to his second brother.
Liu Chang asked carefully: "The fourth brother is not angry? I thought you were going to scold us for wasting clothes."
Liu Heng shook his head, "If you force others to do this, or you deliberately find clothes to put them here, then I will blame you, but do it voluntarily, what can I say? My clothes were originally given to me by my second brother.
I will take what I gave to me now to my second brother for the cold. I think I will never feel cold again."
"Heng. Since it was given to me by my second brother, it would be better to keep it and put the spare clothes here. After all, it was left to you by my second brother."
Liu Ruyi advised, but Liu Heng said seriously: "The kindness and kindness that my second brother left to me is in my heart, and it is not on this piece of clothing."
They immediately returned to the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother, and Empress Lu still attached great importance to the arrival of Liu Heng and Zhao Tuo.
I'm very polite to both of them.
Zhao Tuo sat aside carefully and began to tell his increasingly bad physical condition, while Liu Heng did not say a word.
After the visit, Liu Heng drove directly to the Censor's Mansion.
He was the first prince to come to find Chao Cuo.
Chao Cuo, who had hated him for a long time, was obviously unwilling to have any social interaction with him, so he just sent someone to say, "The inner minister does not conspire with the outer king."
Liu Heng replied to the man:
"Please report to the inner minister, not the outer king, but the emperor's brother."
