The first thousand four hundred and twenty-two chapters kill a little expert
Shouchun.
Huainan King's Palace.
Liu Rong sat proudly on the throne, holding his cheeks like a proud rooster.
He already knew the reaction from Chang'an.
That bastard Liu De didn't dare to touch him after all!
"I am the eldest son of the late emperor. That seat in Chang'an City should belong to me!" Liu Rong thought in his heart.
Over the years, with the younger brother in Chang'an City, he has continued to win.
Liu Rong only felt as if his face had been slapped by countless people.
At one point, he also gave up the idea of going against Liu Che and planned to surrender. However, he never thought that this damn bastard would not accept his surrender at all.
The Kingdom of Zhao, the wealthy kingdom that he had coveted for a long time, fell into the hands of Liu Pengzu.
What made him even more angry was that he was the eldest son of the country, the eldest son of the late emperor, and the eldest brother of the emperor.
To be fair, he should be a majestic and spendthrift person, right?
But what's the result?
Although the Huainan Kingdom is relatively rich, it has nothing to do with him.
All power in the country was controlled by officials sent by Chang'an and pro-Changan nobles.
As the dignified King of Huainan, even if he wanted to go out to see the scenery, he would be obstructed by some people, either explicitly or covertly.
Last year, he fell in love with a piece of land outside Shouchun City and planned to build a royal palace there as a place for his enjoyment.
He even has money ready!
As a result, he was slapped back by the prime minister and internal history of Huainan Kingdom.
Their reason is - Your Majesty, today you are honoring the people of the world, doing little corvee and paying little in taxes. Carrying out large-scale construction projects and mobilizing people is really harmful to the people. I hope your Majesty will stop it.
Of course, he can also go his own way and build that palace.
However, the government of Huainan Kingdom would never cooperate with him in recruiting corvees and civilian servants.
In other words - he has to pay for it himself and hire workers to repair it.
You even have to pay for the materials yourself.
As a result, the project cost immediately increased several times.
It's simply not something he can afford.
The matter fell through just like that.
This made Liu Rong extremely angry!
At the same time, Liu Rong has been surrounded by many literati, scholars and nobles who failed in Chang'an for a long time.
Among these people, there were criminals whose entire families were killed by Liu Che, nobles whose interests were deeply harmed by Liu Che's policies, and scholar-bureaucrats who were eliminated or became notorious in the fierce competition in Chang'an.
For example, some die-hard elements of the Lu-Ru family.
There are also the nephews and nephews of the Liehou family who were affected by AOE during the Liehou Grand Alliance event.
For example, the two sons of Liu Zhongyi, who was mentally ill and was posthumously named Huanghou after his death.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together.
When these guys gather together, they certainly won't say anything good about Liu Che.
On the contrary, these guys spend all day complaining and discussing national policies, and many even clamor for "theory of collapse today" every day.
They believe that the current Han Dynasty is undoubtedly on the wrong track.
If we continue to be so aggressive and militaristic, and if we continue to harm the dignity and civility of the scholar-bureaucrats, sooner or later the whole world will rebel.
These guys always believed that if the king (Liu Rong) had succeeded him, things would not have been like this.
The world will surely be clear when the seas and rivers are clear, and there will be no successive wars between Han and Hungary.
The whole world will not be at war.
Liu Rong heard this and realized that this was really the case.
He himself was very dissatisfied with his younger brother, and even once resisted his younger brother's accession to the throne.
Now, after listening to these people's praise, he subconsciously had the idea that I should be the emperor by birth!
What's more serious is that after last year's Battle of Gaoque, everyone in the world worshiped Liu Che and regarded him as a holy king.
This seriously irritated Liu Rong.
In Liu Rong's eyes, he should be the one enjoying these honors and praises.
It’s all the emperor’s father’s fault!
If it weren't for him and he had to abolish the elders and establish younger ones, how could anything happen to Liu Che?
If he hadn't left his eldest son, who was so smart and capable, to have a second son, why would he have done this?
Liu Cheyuan was in Chang'an and held a high and powerful position. He could not threaten or control him.
However, the ancestral temple of his father, Emperor Renzong and Xiaojing, was near his palace. He could see it every day. Every time he saw this ancestral temple, he would think of the time when his father had resolutely and ruthlessly exiled him from the capital.
For a moment, he will be reminded of that year when his mother and concubine, who loved him the most in the world, died violently for no reason.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
So, after drinking one day, he boldly led people to dig out the wall of his father's ancestral temple, and incorporated all the land near the wall into his palace.
By daybreak, almost half of the ancestral temple land and the land around the ancestral temple that originally belonged to Renzong Temple had been occupied by his palace.
He still remembered that he was standing on the palace wall, looking at the Huainan Kingdom's prime minister, internal history, lieutenants and nobles who hurried over after hearing the news, looking as if they were bereaved.
Every time he thinks of this, he feels extremely happy!
The tyrant who makes you gibberish and loyal to Chang'an makes you disrespect others!
Just to let you know - if I start a violent attack on my own, I will be afraid!
As for if Liu De was convicted, he would even kill himself?
Then let him kill him!
If Liu De dares to attack his brother, he has the guts!
And the facts prove that Liu De, this bastard, does not have the courage at all!
Look! Look!
He didn't even punish him, he only dared to send an official to repair and restore Renzong Temple.
Just fix it!
Wait for me to feel unhappy one day, then I’ll take it apart again!
Around that, the old man treated himself like that when he was alive.
Thinking of this, Liu Rong began to become irritable.
As soon as he clapped his hands, several lucky ministers ran forward and clapped their hands to greet them: "Your Majesty, I heard that Ganoderma lucidum grew in a corner of the palace yesterday. The place where Ganoderma lucidum grows has the words 'Growing is precious'.
This shows that the king is deeply blessed by God..."
Several other people also nodded and said: "That's right, that's right! The king is the eldest son of the country, and he should be the lord of the world. The current situation in Huainan is only temporary. I think that if there is a change in Chang'an the next day, the princes and ministers will
I’m afraid they all have to come to Huainan to welcome the king as his heir!”
These words undoubtedly touched Liu Rong's heart.
Over the years, what has Liu Rong not done in Huainan Kingdom?
Pricking villains, pricking Chang'an with acupuncture, performing rituals to witches and gods, and performing curses. Even when offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple every year, he prayed in his heart for the blessings of his ancestors.
With the title of Changjun, he returned to Chang'an surrounded by the princes and ministers, and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor!
such a pity……
It seems to be of no use.
Liu De of Chang'an was still in his prime, and it could even be said that there was no emperor who was healthier than him.
He had more and more heirs, and as time went by, his dream of being an emperor and emperor became weaker and weaker.
Liu Rong felt really bad inside.
"You!" Liu Rong pointed to one of his favorites and said, "Go and make a set of dragon robes for me, and engrave a set of seals!"
"This..." When the man heard this, he flinched a little.
You can say whatever you want about flattery, but making dragon robes and engraving seals privately will kill the whole family!
When Liu Rong saw this guy hesitate, he felt dissatisfied and said to him: "You don't have to come to the palace tomorrow!"
If he doesn't even dare to do this, what's the use of him? What's the use of raising him?
Liu Rong is not stupid, he is just arrogant.
How could he not know that these lucky ministers and favored ministers were actually just saying nice things to coax him.
You and I also like to hear these words, so let them say it.
However, I want to eat his food and get his rewards, but I am unwilling to do things for him!
What's the use of keeping such a person? It's better to keep a dog!
Anyway, this time Liu Rong also tested out the bottom line of Liu De in Chang'an - even demolishing the Renzong Temple without punishment, wearing a dragon robe and carving a seal is nothing like that?
Liu Rong was convinced that as long as he did not rebel, Chang'an would probably be invisible.
In this case, why not wear a dragon robe and play the emperor's game in the palace?
Anyway, Liu Rong was sure that Chang'an had nothing to do with him.
Liu De was unable to do anything to himself due to his feelings and face.
The man was shocked when he heard Liu Rong's words. In fact, people like him relied on Liu Rong to have their current life.
Once they are kicked out of the palace, they can only starve to death.
Thinking of this, he immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I will do it now, I will do it now!"
"Good!" Liu Rong was extremely proud. This is what he needs, a slave who obeys him in everything!
