"The guilty minister, General Lu, pays homage to Your Majesty..." As soon as he saw Liu Che, Liu Jianglu cried like a child, with tears and runny nose coming out.
Looking at this guy, Liu Che was also a little angry.
Liu Jianglu and Dou Ying caused trouble, and Liu Che has now found out.
It was nothing more than the result of lobbying and bribery by two scumbags, Sheriff Ji Ban and County Lieutenant Chen Jun of Beiping County, in order to cover up their own crimes and problems.
Ji Ban and Chen Jun were able to find Liu Jianglu and Dou Ying because one of them had been an official of Qi State in the past, and the other was Dou Ying's close friend.
"Uncle..." Liu Che stood up, looked at the guy, sighed and asked: "In this world, Emperor Gao's humiliation of Pingcheng and Empress Lu's humiliation of Chanyu Shujue are only worth a thousand gold in the eyes of the emperor."
?"
Yes, Liu Jianglu received a thousand pieces of gold from Ji Ban, so he helped him write the letter.
For one thousand gold, he, the elder of the dignified Han family, was allowed to kneel down as the youngest son of King Hui and the younger brother of King Ai.
I don’t know if Liu Fei and Liu Zhang found out about it underground, would they get up in anger?
but……
Actually, Liu Jianglu is pretty good.
At least he got paid.
Dou Ying didn't take any money...
This fact made Liu Che angry and angry, and he wanted to scold Dou Ying to death.
Liu Jianglu, however, was trembling all over. He lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "The guilty minister is so greedy for profit that he deserves death..."
But inside I felt relieved.
Because the emperor only scolded him for collecting money, but did not mention the charges that led to him being deposed as king.
This shows that the emperor does not want him to die.
As for corruption and bribery...
For a vassal king, it is really not a crime!
only……
"I have so much wealth..." Liu Jianglu wanted to die now. For the benefit of Ji Ban's thousand gold, he lost his title of prince and king and the huge Qi country, and also lost all the money he had spent in the past few decades.
I have built up my wealth through hard work, deceit and deceit.
That is a treasury worth more than hundreds of thousands of dollars!
There are also hundreds of royal estates and nearly one million acres of private property.
Now, all these have been confiscated by the emperor's envoys.
Thinking like this, Liu Jianglu wanted to eat Ji Ban alive!
"Tingwei has put Ji Ban and Chen Jun in prison..." Liu Che recounted this fact calmly.
The battle in Youbeiping County was extremely stinky.
Before the war, there were nearly 8,000 county soldiers in Youbeiping, and after mobilization, the number was more than 15,000.
As a result, the Han army suffered the heaviest losses since Liu Che ascended the throne.
It was a disgrace to the Han army!
If the reinforcements from western and eastern Liaoning had not arrived in time, the Han Dynasty might even have lost the entire Youbeiping County in this battle.
There is no need to doubt the fate of these two scumbags now.
Cutting off the market in half is their best result.
And all their family members will be implicated.
Basically, except for children under ten years old and elderly people over seventy years old or pregnant women, everyone else must be buried with them.
However, even if we kill them all, the damage they have caused cannot be undone.
At least more than 3,000 innocent people and more than 5,000 soldiers died because of them. In addition, thousands of soldiers and civilians were kidnapped by the Xiongnu Zuoguli King Hu Lushe.
And this may become a hidden danger.
Liu Jianglu didn't know these things, but he knew that his fate would be directly linked to the emperor's next words.
Whether you can save your life depends entirely on how you respond next.
Therefore, he pricked his ears and listened attentively.
"Uncle Emperor, the law of the country is ruthless..." Liu Che said slowly: "But I think of the old friendship and the friendship between the clan, and I am still willing to give Uncle Emperor a chance to redeem himself and make meritorious service..."
According to the law, the crimes that the ministers impeached Liu General Lu for, as well as the crimes that were reported and exposed by his court ministers, cronies, and even his wives.
Liu Jianglu could never escape the fate of a glass of poisonous wine and three feet of white silk!
But, in fact, this is impossible!
Too much blood has been shed by the princes, kings and clan of the Liu family in recent years.
Moreover, the lineage of the King of Qi was a special clan in the Han Dynasty.
First of all, the State of Qi was a feudal state owned by Liu Fei, the eldest son of Emperor Liu Bang. When King Qi Huihui was in power, although he was always unknown, he did not get involved in the internal disputes within the royal family.
But as the eldest son of Emperor Gao, King Huihui ranked very high in the order of princes and kings of the clan.
As the successor of King Huihui, Liu Jianglu could not move without looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face.
Historically, Liu Jianglu committed rebellion and committed suicide, but his son still succeeded to the throne. That's it.
Secondly, it is inexplicable that King Qi Ai and King Qi Wen have no heirs.
In particular, the deaths of brothers Liu Xiang and Liu Zhang made the people, especially the public opinion in Qilu, very sympathetic to their group.
Out of the need to bribe the conflict between you and the North and the South, Liu Jianglu cannot die.
Otherwise, in the future unofficial history, we still don’t know what stories will be told about Liu Che’s descendants.
Liu Che himself doesn't care, but his father and grandfather will definitely express their gratitude to Alexander.
Even for the so-called 'filial piety' consideration, Liu Jianglu could not die.
Another thing is that now, Liu Che can even inherit Xiang Yu, but he fights against his own clan relatives. It is quite embarrassing for this to spread.
Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Jianglu's property has entered Liu Che's inner treasury.
Such a large amount of money could buy Liu Jianglu's life no matter what.
Finally, Liu Jianglu is still valuable.
But how could Liu Jianglu know what his emperor's nephew was thinking? He immediately thanked him and said, "Since your majesty won't abandon you, how dare you not leave for your majesty?"
To him - the word "dedicated to one's crime and made meritorious service" is so wonderful.
Because this means that he can continue to be king.
In fact, over the years, Liu Jianglu himself also knew that the location of King Qi was a crater.
He is not the emperor's brother, but he is sitting in the richest place in the empire.
Others have long wanted to kill him.
Therefore, he also thought about moving the seal.
However, he is always reluctant to part with the wealth and luxury of Qi State, so he just drags it on.
Sometimes he even felt that he could wait until his death to consider the matter of transferring the title.
But who knew that this mistake would lead to this outcome?
In fact, Liu Jianglu knew that he was actually deposed not so much because he was impeached by the ministers, but because he was killed by the clan, princes and kings jointly.
If there were not those princes and kings who were adding fuel to the flames, Liu Jianglu thought, what the hell, Empress Dowager Bo in the East Palace would have to speak to him for the sake of the late Empress Dowager!
"I plan to change the title of imperial uncle to the king next year..." Liu Che said slowly.
"Sui?" Liu Jianglu was quite confused.
The ancient Sui State, in today's Chu State, was once a powerful country in the Spring and Autumn Period, but was later destroyed by Chu.
Since then, Suiguo has become history, and it is almost four hundred years ago today.
"Of course!" Liu Che introduced with a smile: "However, the country I chose for the emperor's uncle is outside the Great Wall, on the side of the Mongolian country, where Wang Gaolan Mountain lives thousands of miles away from Yanze!"
"This..." Liu Jianglu moved his lips, not knowing how to express his position.
Are you kowtowing to thank Tianen? Or are you shouting curses, you bastards like Liu Heng are simply too perverted?
Although Liu Jianglu didn't know the situation outside the wall, he also knew that everything from Gaolan Mountain to Juyanze was still in the hands of the Huns!
In other words, the emperor's nephew gave him a land that was in the hands of the enemy!
But the even more terrifying thing is that - it is very possible that the emperor's nephew intends to let him learn from the examples of the concubines of Hanyang back then, to lead the Liu clan, and to go outside to open up land and stabilize the country.
And this kind of thing costs money.
But now, his total net worth is only three or four thousand gold - all other money has gone into the inner treasury of the emperor's nephew.
In other words, the emperor's nephew took his money, confiscated his kingdom, and deprived him of his throne.
Now I hope that he will sell his liver and kidneys again and use the money to help him conquer the world.
You can know it from the title of Suiguo.
Liu Jianglu was not an ignorant prince. In fact, his literary attainments were very good.
How could he not know that during the Zong Zhou period, Sui Guo was the thorn that Emperor Zhou placed in the Hanyang and Huaisi areas?
It was Sui Guo's existence that made Chu State dare not move.
In its heyday, Suihou State was the leader of the concubines of Hanyang and implemented the etiquette system on behalf of the Emperor of Zhou.
Of course Liu Che also knew that his request was indeed too much.
But it doesn't matter, all he needs is Liu Jianglu to set an example and take the lead.
It’s not that Liu Jianglu is really expected to go there to expand territory and share the joys and sorrows with the people – this is too difficult for him!
Among the princes and kings of the Han family today, there are only a few who can achieve this level.
Heroes of the Liu family like Wu Wang Liu Bi, Chu Wang Liu Jiao, Qi Wang Liu Fei, and Yan Wang Liu Ze only existed at the beginning of the founding of the country.
As for now?
It would be nice if it doesn't cause any trouble for Liu Che.
"Uncle, don't worry!" Liu Che said slowly: "Uncle, there is no need to worry about the palace, the royal city, the people, officials, the army, the emperor. The emperor only needs to go to the country when the time comes..."
Liu Che had even prepared a list of ministers to assist Liu General.
Between the swords...the master's father Yan...Yang Ze...
They are all from Qi - they all have grudges or grudges against Liu Jianglu, or at least they are people who don't like Liu Jianglu.
The existence of these people is enough to ensure that Liu Jianglu becomes a complete eraser.
Even better - Liu Che knew what kind of person Liu Jianglu's legitimate son Liu Shou was!
To put it nicely, this is a mediocre person with no specialties or shortcomings.
To put it harshly, this is an otaku, and it is an abandoned otaku.
In history, Liu Shou once broke the record of his ancestor Liu Fei - well, it was the weight record.
After Liu Shou, Suiguo was able to smoothly dethrone it into a county.
Because Liu Shou’s successor is named ‘King Li’
How did Liu Jianglu know that his emperor's nephew had the idea of selling him and asking him to help count the money?
All he knew now, it seemed, was that he could only obey the emperor's nephew's decision.
Otherwise, if you get annoyed, you may end up with a glass of poisoned wine, three feet of white silk, or even "being violently ill".
You know, there are almost a dozen princes and kings who died in Chang'an!
There was no other way, so he could only worship him honestly: "I, the guilty minister, respectfully obey the imperial edict!"
Hearing this, Liu Che was delighted: "Uncle, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager of the East Palace have been talking about the Emperor. Uncle, please go to the East Palace to pay regards to the two empresses..."
When Liu Jianglu heard this, he knew that he had finally saved his life. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "The guilty minister obeys your order!"
………………………………
As soon as Liu Jianglu left, Liu Che started laughing.
Speaking of which, Qi King Liu Fei was really born to be the god of wealth and teammate of Liu Che's family!
Thinking back then, Liu Che's grandfather Liu Heng, the acting king, was not qualified to take over Chang'an no matter what.
However, at the critical moment, King Yan Liu Ze raised his hand, and Liu Che's grandfather was able to take control of Chang'an.
Immediately afterwards, King Ai of Qi Liu Xiang died at the right time - he died just before Liu Xingju's rebellion. However, Liu Xiang's death not only caused Liu Xingju's rebellion to lose one of its most important allies, but also caused other people to rebel.
No king dared to side with him. Even Liu Zhang, the king of Chengyang, sided with Liu Che and his faction and beat up the fallen dog.
Then, Liu Che's rise to power was actually due to Liu Jianglu's help - back then, if it weren't for Liu Jianglu, Liu Che would have had to wait two years if he wanted to take the lead.
Now, Liu Jianglu used his wealth and savings to help Liu Che tide over a possible financial crisis.
After that, he even had to continue to be a pioneer for Liu Che, leading the princes and kings to expand abroad.
Such great teammates were rare in the entire Han Dynasty.
When Liu Che was smiling, a young eunuch stumbled in and reported in a panic: "Your Majesty, King Yan has passed away..."
"King Yan Liu Dingguo?" Liu Che stood up and said hey. It seems that Wang Wenshu is very efficient!
But on the surface, Liu Che still looked concerned and asked: "How did King Yan die?"
"Your Majesty... King Yan was returning to Jicheng from Yuyang fortress. He occasionally caught wind and cold on the way and fell ill. The medicine was ineffective..." The eunuch reported: "The whole country of Yan is now very sad..."
"I was ordered to make an edict and give the King of Yan a posthumous title, a yellow intestine title, and a gold-studded jade garment..." Liu Che squeezed out two drops of crocodile tears: "The King of Yan, my humerus, is also the minister of the country! I heard that
, At the beginning, when Yuyang was in danger, King Yan ordered the people around him to say: I have to defend the land and protect the people. Now the Xiongnu is coming fiercely, and I am worried about the people. Since I have lost all the treasures of the palace to the heroes... and I have come to the front line in person,
He was willing to risk bows and arrows, not avoiding swords. When the Xiongnu heard about it, they called him the 'Tiger of Yuyang', and they all said: Xiangshi, all the kings in China are like the King of Yan, and I, the Xiongnu, will perish!"
Liu Che naturally knew what Liu Dingguo was doing.
What is the Tiger of Yuyang?
Yuyang sick cat is his correct interpretation.
But since everyone else is dead, it is natural to put gold on his face and set him up as an example for the princes and kings of the Liu family.
This is why Liu Che insisted on his death - how could he erect an archway if he didn't die?
Now, with his death, the skin of the Yuyang Tiger will no longer be afraid of being exposed.
From this perspective, Liu Dingguo actually wanted to thank Liu Che. If Liu Che hadn't asked him to die, how could he have had the chance to be famous throughout the ages?
