One thousand four hundred and twenty one, looking up at the stars
However, Liu Che held the memorial tightly, with veins popping up on the back of his hands.
After all, no curse came out of my mouth.
Using almost all his strength to suppress the manic murderous intention deep in his heart, Liu Che waved his hand and said: "I understand..." There was not even a slight fluctuation in his voice, as if he had not seen this memorial.
.
It wasn't until the eunuch left that Liu Che sat back on the throne with a livid face.
"Liu Rong..." Sitting on the throne, Liu Che gasped for air: "Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
After a long time, he let out a long breath: "I really don't dare to kill you now!"
Yes, Liu Che really doesn't have the guts to be cruel to Liu Rong now.
It's not that he can't be killed, but the cost of killing Liu Rong is too high!
In terms of patriarchal etiquette, Liu Rong is the elder brother and the eldest brother.
Even if brothers and sisters cannot respect each other, they cannot go so far as to kill brothers.
If a younger brother kills an older brother, among the people, it is called rebellion or vengeance.
Among the royal family, it is an untouchable taboo.
Later Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Rebellion and killed his elder brother Li Jiancheng. His younger brother Li Yuanji was blamed in history books for a thousand years!
No matter how Li Shimin defends his actions, he cannot escape the public criticism.
Another living treasure, Emperor Yongzheng, in order to cover up his mistakes, wrote a book "Dayi Jue Mi Lu". In this book, he told the truth and nonsense. Yongzheng himself was very proud of it. As a result, when his son came to the throne, he
, destroy everything immediately.
I even want to scratch every word in this book with a knife!
But nowadays, it is impossible for the whole world to accept such a thing as a younger brother killing his older brother.
Even if Liu Rong rebelled, Liu Che would be locked up for a few days until Liu Che died!
Moreover, after the lesson learned from the Huainan King Li incident, even if Liu Rong really rebelled, in fact, Liu Che would at best have him placed under house arrest in the palace.
Obviously, Liu Rong saw this exactly.
Sincerely give trouble to Liu Che.
Otherwise, in the Huainan Kingdom, there is a Gao Temple on top and a Taizong Temple on the bottom. Why should he have to struggle with his father's Renzong Temple?
Otherwise, if he didn't do it before, why would he do it now?
Obviously, Liu Rong's behavior is the same as that of a spoiled child who deliberately destroys an adult's mahjong table or TV.
However, Liu Rong is twenty-five years old this year and is a father. Therefore, there is no doubt that he is protesting against Liu Che and competing with his younger brother.
His meaning couldn't be more obvious. Although you are the emperor, the emperor, and the holy king among the people in the world, but... I don't accept it! I will go against you! I will cause trouble for you! I just like to see that you can't do anything to me.
, and you have to wipe my butt for me!
Liu Che could even see the proud, arrogant and arrogant appearance of his brother who was far away in Shouchun.
In fact, Liu Rong has never changed.
He is still the same self-righteous, arrogant, and smug guy.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Che gritted his teeth and murmured: "Do you really think... I can't do anything to you?"
In Liu Che's eyes, Liu Rong was simply seeking death.
Challenging the emperor's authority?
Did Liu Rong really think he was immortal?
In the entire history of China, no one has ever been able to survive after humiliating and provoking an emperor!
When the emperor was angry, blood flowed into the rafts, and millions of corpses were laid on the ground.
This is not just a novelist’s statement!
After pondering for a moment, Liu Che summoned an attendant and told him: "Go and invite King Meng into the palace..."
Mongolian King Liu Fei has been staying in Chang'an since he was granted the title.
There is no way, the battle of Yanji has involved a lot of energy of the country.
When the war ended, the subsequent withdrawal, finishing and reconstruction work also made the Han Dynasty unable to help Liu Fei transfer the seal.
This matter is dragging on like this, and it is estimated that the country will not be able to free up its hands to help him move the seal until after a major court meeting.
In Chang'an, Liu Fei's biggest hobby was going to Wuyuan to listen to lectures, or watching horse racing and polo matches outside Maoling City.
Especially polo matches. He is now the most enthusiastic fan of polo matches in Han Dynasty.
After coming to Chang'an and being exposed to polo, this prince of the empire never missed a polo match.
People can even often see the king of the empire and the younger brother of the emperor cheering for joy in the VIP seats at the stadium.
As a result, Liu Fei became the most people-friendly representative among the kings of the Han Dynasty.
His popularity and praise are almost comparable to those of the royal family's models, King Chu Yuan and his son.
There is no way, he hangs around in front of people every day... It's hard not to know him!
And he only needs to act a little and show off, and people will like him.
Therefore, the envoys sent by Liu Che found Liu Fei who was watching the race at the racecourse without much effort.
Two hours later, before nightfall, Liu Fei appeared in front of Liu Che.
As soon as they met, Liu Fei noticed that the emperor's brother seemed a little depressed, and his eyes were a little red, as if he had shed tears.
This shocked him.
In this world, there are not many things that can make the emperor sad and shed tears.
Especially a few years ago, after Gu Anhou passed away, it was rare to see or hear that the emperor was sad and shed tears.
Therefore, Liu Fei immediately restrained himself and bowed cautiously: "My brother, I must pay homage to my emperor!"
"Prince Meng is here..." I heard the emperor's brother sigh softly: "Come and sit in front of me..."
Liu Fei was flattered and worshiped quickly: "How dare you, my dear brother!"
But his whole body ran uncontrollably in front of the Emperor's brother. He sat down obediently and made a joke. Only a fool would not do this kind of thing that can bring the Emperor's brother closer to him!
"Your Majesty..." Sitting in front of the emperor's brother, Liu Fei actually noticed the tears on the emperor's face after observing closely. This made him even more surprised and more anxious. He wanted to know why the emperor's brother was sad!
Liu Fei was not stupid, he knew that this was an excellent opportunity to get close to and close the relationship between the emperor's brother and himself.
So Liu Fei bowed and said, "Why is your Majesty so sad?"
"I'm not sad..." Liu Che shook his head stubbornly and said, "I'm just sighing..."
As an actor, the emotion on Liu Che's face at this moment is really full to the extreme. There is a bit of sadness in the desolation, but the sadness also contains a trace of resentment and helplessness.
When Liu Fei saw it, he felt as if a cat had scratched him.
In this timeline, because the late emperor, the common father of Liu Fei and Liu Che, did not have time to show off his own brother Liang Wang, he crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and dug holes to bury people.
In particular, the current uncle-nephew relationship between King Liang and Liu Che can be described as a model.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty worked hard to compensate the "uncle of the emperor who had made great contributions to the country and the country", and to seal the princes of Liang. With the benefits, he would never forget to invite the uncle to share it with him.
Even Liang Wang Liu Wu himself believed this to be true.
Not to mention everyone else.
Therefore, the princes and princes of the Liu family who had not been educated by this matter still took the emotional connection between the emperor and themselves very seriously.
Everyone wants to become the second king of Liang.
Even if you can't be the king of Liang, don't be the king of Huainan.
Therefore, Liu Fei immediately boldly said: "Your Majesty, although I am not talented, I am already eighteen years old. Although I do not have the courage of Meng Bi, the wisdom of Lin Xiangru, and the courage of Lian Po, I am still willing to die for Your Majesty! Sincerely!
As His Majesty’s edict says: When brothers work together, their sharpness can cut through metal; when two people work together, their stench is as bad as orchid!”
The subtext is naturally nothing more than the emperor's brother, the emperor's brother! I am the most obedient younger brother. If you have anything to do, leave it to me to handle it! I promise to do it well!
Liu Che sighed twice, pretended to be in pain, handed a memorial to Liu Fei, and said sadly: "Brother, take a look at what Huainan has done!"
When Liu Fei took the memorial and read it, he immediately felt a surge of energy and blood rushing straight into his brain, and the whole world seemed to be torn apart.
He immediately held the memorial and burst into tears, saying, "Father, the ancestral temple has suffered such a great humiliation!"
For Liu Fei, he cared more about, needed, and relied on the protection and care of his father, the late Emperor Renzong Xiaojing, than Liu Che.
The reason is very simple, there is no status of Emperor Renzong and Xiaojing.
Then, all brothers, including him, will lose the qualification to be called a loner.
His power, his wealth, everything about him will immediately be shattered like a dream!
Even his concubines, wives and children will be reduced to nothing.
Therefore, when he saw Liu Rong in Huainan Kingdom actually occupying the land of Renzong Ancestral Temple, his reaction was normal.
Liu Rong's behavior, to a certain extent, was like the eldest son of a concubine in a large clan who knocked down the wall of ancestor worship.
What he hurt and insulted were the vital interests and rights of all brothers and sisters.
Liu Fei kowtowed almost immediately and said: "My dear brother, please order me to be your Majesty's envoy to go to Huainan to inspect and supervise this case!"
He raised his head, gritted his teeth, looked at Liu Che, and said firmly and with murderous intent: "We must not let Huainan act recklessly and insult the late emperor!"
Undoubtedly, in Liu Fei's mind now, he has expelled Liu Rong from the ranks of brothers.
There was no way, Liu Rong and he didn't have a good relationship to begin with.
Now, Liu Rong actually dared to invade the land of the late emperor's ancestral temple.
This was tantamount to a slap in the face of all Renzong's descendants, including Liu Fei.
It was burning and painful.
What would be even more serious would be if Liu Fei could not immediately correct his stance and draw a clear line with him.
So, in the eyes of the world, the land of your father's ancestral temple has been occupied by your brother, and you are actually indifferent? Do you want to do the same thing?! You unfilial son!
Liu Che sighed quietly and said: "Huainan is the eldest son of the late emperor and my eldest brother. I really can't bear to punish the king!"
This is the difference between Liu Che and Liu Fei.
As the emperor and the head of the Liu royal family, Liu Che could still change things and tolerate it.
But Liu Fei, Liu Yu, Liu Yan, Liu Sheng, Liu Duan and other brothers, including Liu She and Liu Shun who are still completely ignorant, have no way out.
They had no choice but to kill Liu Rong in order to maintain and establish their status as the filial son of Emperor Renzong Xiaojing.
"Your Majesty!" Liu Fei pleaded: "Huainan is disobedient and unruly, arrogant and arrogant, and the world has seen it, and it has been seen by both humans and gods! Your Majesty now believes that the eldest son of the late emperor of Huainan and your Majesty's eldest brother, your Majesty cannot bear to bring justice to the king...
But my brother cannot agree!"
"Huainan can invade the late emperor's ancestral temple today, and in the future it can harm Taizong, and the peace of the high temple will be harmed!"
"Your Majesty can't bear it now. I think there will be a rebellion involving Guan Cai in the future!"
As he said this, Liu Fei kept kowtowing until his head was bruised and bleeding profusely, but he still did not dare and refused to stop.
But Liu Che knew that Liu Rong could not be killed based on the current crime and evidence alone.
It can't even hurt Liu Rong at all!
Perhaps, after he makes this matter public, public opinion will be aroused, and the government and the opposition will be heatedly discussing things.
Especially the group of people who claim to be loyal ministers of Emperor Renzong and Xiaojing will jump up and shout to fight and kill.
But in the end, at the end, the moment the butcher's knife was raised.
The same group of people came forward one after another, singing a song to save the king one after another.
The reason is simple. Liu Rong did indeed make a huge mistake.
but……
After all, he is the eldest son of the late emperor and the emperor's brother!
How can you kill him?
Must be saved!
This is not only to protect the late emperor's eldest son, but also to maintain the reputation of the emperor.
The younger brother killed the older brother? Even if the elder brother committed a heinous crime, he shouldn't be punished!
Even if Shun did not kill his brother who tried to kill him, how could the emperor kill and blame his own brother at will?
Ethically, no one can accept it!
If it were just public opinion, Liu Che wouldn't care.
But the problem is that everyone in the world thinks and feels this way.
Even a common man or an old farmer would object to the emperor's execution of his brother.
What's more, the two empress dowagers in the East Palace, especially the empress dowager, will definitely stop it.
Historically, Liu Rong invaded Taizong's ancestral temple and was forced to commit suicide. Empress Dowager Dou blamed Liu Che's father: The emperor killed my grandson and also used his authority to grant death to the capital of Zhi who forced Liu Rong to death.
Therefore, Liu Che knew that if he wanted to use this matter to kill Liu Rong.
Totally impossible!
In this case, Liu Che would not use this matter to mess with Liu Rong.
But he is not the kind of person who can bear such a tone.
Liu Rong wants to die?
Liu Che will help him.
I will watch him commit suicide step by step, and walk towards destruction step by step!
As the saying goes: If God wants to destroy it, it must first make it crazy.
Liu Che sighed with emotion, lifted up Liu Fei who was already bleeding from kowtow, and sighed: "I regret that I can only let King Meng know about this..."
He helped Liu Fei sit down, then took the wound medicine and applied it to Liu Fei himself. His movements were very skillful, which made Liu Fei feel a little strange: "How did your Majesty know how to bandage the wound? In the greenhouse of Weiyang Palace,
How do you get the medicine?"
But he didn't have time to think too much. The blood on his forehead continued to flow out, distracting his attention and thinking ability.
In addition, the emperor's instructions came to my ears: "King Meng, please don't tell others about this matter. I will ask someone to blame and educate Huainan..."
The emperor took the gauze, bandaged his wound, and sighed: "After all, Huainan and I are brothers from the same mother! The love of brotherhood and flesh and blood, even if Huainan doesn't miss it, I can't help but miss it!"
"
"Furthermore, the reason why Huainan is like this must be because I have poor moral character and cannot teach him..."
"I should fast and bathe, wear plain clothes to avoid the main hall, accuse the Ren Temple, and ask for forgiveness from my father..."
The image of a benevolent brother who loves his brother, cares for his brother, and is willing to suffer, be wronged, and endure hardship for his brother was immediately established in Liu Fei's heart.
Liu Fei was moved to tears and cried: "Your Majesty is unparalleled in kindness, but I am afraid that Huainan may not appreciate it!"
Liu Che patted Liu Fei on the shoulder and said sincerely: "In the past, Shun never thought about whether my brother Xiang would appreciate it. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to his brother's consideration. Although my talent and virtue are not as good as Shun's, I am still willing to follow him!"
Liu Fei was completely confused after being swallowed by this bowl of chicken soup. He just felt that the emperor's brother was so great!
Why couldn't I have discovered it before?
This world is really worthy of the emperor and his brother.
So he was sincerely convinced, bowed to the ground, and immediately nodded and said: "Your Majesty is so kind that he cannot bear to offend Huainan, but my brother cannot bear it. I should tell my brothers and sisters to show that the Han and the traitors are incompatible!"
"Alas!" Liu Che sighed: "This is why I regret telling King Meng about this matter! When the matter spread, those who knew about it knew my intentions, but those who didn't knew thought that I was trying to corrupt Huainan.
What a reputation!”
