"Where are you?" Emperor Liu Qi suddenly asked while sitting in the carriage.
"Your Majesty, we have arrived in Yiyang County!" replied a eunuch who had been trotting next to the Emperor Yuhu.
"Yi Yang..." Emperor Liu Qi opened the curtain of his car and looked outside, only to see vast fields and gurgling water.
Emperor Liu Qi's feelings for Yi Yang were very complicated.
This is the location of the mausoleum that he personally selected. Since last autumn, the prisoners and craftsmen of the Shaofu have been working day and night to build the imperial mausoleum here.
According to the Han system, the size of the imperial mausoleum will depend on how long the emperor reigns.
From the time he ascended the throne to his death, the construction of the imperial mausoleum never stopped.
Even the late emperor only reduced the number of burial objects, but his mausoleum project was extremely huge.
At this time, noisy sounds came from the galloping road in the distance. The honor guards who were supposed to clear the way for the emperor's car moved to both sides. Even the emperor Liu Qi heard the clatter of horse hooves.
"What's going on?" Emperor Liu Qi immediately became alert and asked.
The eunuch who served him quickly said: "I'll go take a look..."
But it’s no longer needed!
"Xingyang 800 miles away, urgent report to the Emperor!" The knight with three small flags on his back, symbolizing extremely important and urgent matters, was galloping on his horse, shouting incessantly, and quickly driving toward the Emperor.
Come.
Emperor Liu Qi finally showed a cautious look on his face.
Xingyang was the largest military stronghold of the Han Dynasty in Guandong, with heavy troops stationed all year round to intimidate and intimidate the princes of Guandong.
Any news from Xingyang is extremely important to the Han family, let alone such an eight hundred-mile expedited journey?
"Your Majesty, urgent report from Xingyang!" The knight rushed to the emperor's chariot, immediately dismounted, knelt down and held up a secret memorial sealed in a bamboo tube in his hand.
Emperor Liu Qi took the bamboo tube, opened it, and revealed a silk book hidden inside.
Liu Qi spread out the silk book and took a look. His face suddenly felt cold and the veins on his forehead were exposed.
"Send the order!" Emperor Liu Qi ordered to the left and right: "Go back to Chang'an directly and send someone to inform the Queen Mother. Don't wait for me. Then order: Prime Minister Shen Tujia, Internal History Chao Cuo, Lieutenant Zhou Yafu, Taizhong Doctor Dou Ying
, General Li Ji, General Luan Bu, both entered the palace!"
The contents of the silk script can be summed up in one sentence: King Wu has decided to rebel!
If the Wu Kingdom moves, the entire Southern Kingdom will be implicated.
At that time, the Yingbo rebellion swept almost the entire Jianghuai River and destroyed the entire southern country.
And now that Liu Bi has been planning for forty-two years, once something happens, what impact will it have?
But for some reason, Emperor Liu Qi felt a little happy in his heart.
"I am waiting for you to rebel!" Emperor Liu Qi said in his heart: "I have tolerated you for a long time!"
For Liu Qi, the Kingdom of Wu was like a chronic disease. It only had three counties, but it absorbed more than half of the world's wealth, yet it didn't even pay a penny in taxes.
No emperor could tolerate such a thing!
Emperor Liu Qi thought for a while and then said: "In addition, go and call Liu De to the palace to observe!"
"promise!"
…………………………………………
Liu De held Chen Ajiao in his arms and sat in Queen Mother Dou's carriage. They chatted wordlessly.
"Why hasn't the emperor arrived yet?" Empress Dowager Dou waited for a long time, and she also had some doubts. Logically speaking, the emperor should have arrived by now!
"Wait a little longer..." Princess Liu Piao, the Taoist Princess, peeled an orange for Queen Mother Dou with a smile, and said, "Maybe something happened on the way that delayed her, I don't know..."
Before she finished speaking, a eunuch reported outside the carriage: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has sent someone here..."
"Let him come over..." Queen Mother Dou put down the orange and opened the car curtain.
Not long after, a eunuch came to the side of Empress Dowager Dou's carriage, knelt down and said: "To the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty ordered your servants to come and deliver the message. Your Majesty suddenly encountered a big event and has already returned to Weiyang. Please let your servants come and tell you that you don't want to go to Weiyang."
No more waiting!"
"You don't even have time to stay at the ferry?" Queen Mother Dou was shocked when she heard this. She immediately knew that something big must have happened, and it must be a big event for the country. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the emperor to make a full circle.
There was no time, so I took Chidao directly back to Chang'an.
"What happened?" Queen Mother Dou asked.
"Replying to the Queen Mother, I am traveling eight hundred miles from Xingyang to report to the Emperor!" The eunuch replied on his knees.
"Xingyang!" After hearing this place name, Empress Dowager Dou put down the car curtain and said to Liu De: "Something big has happened. Liu De, you go back first and go to the emperor. When the Ai family returns to the palace, you can come and report to the Ai family. What happened?"
whats the matter!"
Xingyang, Queen Mother Dou certainly knows where this place is.
It is no exaggeration to say that the center of gravity of the Han Dynasty in Guanzhong was Chang'an, while its center of gravity in Guandong was Xingyang.
Half of the troops controlled by the Han Dynasty were deployed in Chang'an, Guanzhong, and the Great Wall, and the other half were deployed around Xingyang.
At its peak, more than 200,000 troops were stationed in Xingyang.
At that time, the princes and ministers jointly destroyed the Lu, and it was only after they took control of the important town of Xingyang that they successfully gathered people's hearts.
Although Empress Dowager Dou was not knowledgeable in military affairs, she was very powerful in politics. She immediately knew that there was a big problem in Guandong after just a moment's thought.
"No!" Liu De nodded.
In fact, Liu De knew what happened.
With memories of his previous life, he knew that the Wu-Chu Rebellion was not a rebellion that happened overnight, when some guy slapped his head and decided to start an army.
The seven countries that rebelled against the imperial court also struggled with each other for more than half a year. Finally, after the fire broke out in the main hall of the East Palace of Luoyang, they finally made up their minds and jointly followed the will of God and launched an army.
A very simple example is that Jiaoxi King Liu Xian swung between rebelling and not rebelling several times.
After a while, Liu Xun said to Wu Wangbi's envoy who contacted him: It would be a great joy to inherit an emperor, which meant that he planned to be a loyal minister.
After a while, Liu Xun wrote to his brothers again: "The king of Chengyang Jing has righteousness...the matter will be settled..."
Even Liu Bi's die-hard brother Chu King Liu Wu was hesitant. Not only that, before Chu King Liu Wu even raised an army, he was already divided internally. The pro-Han faction and the anti-Han faction were at odds with each other.
shelf.
Otherwise, where did the subsequent King of Chu Liu Li come from?
Liu Li is Liu Wu's cousin...
Why can Liu Li be the king of Chu?
His father stood firm and fought loyally and unyieldingly against Liu Wu's rebellion, which was the reason why he became the King of Chu.
With such helpless teammates, if King Wu Liu Bi can succeed, it will be the most ridiculous thing in the world!
As for now, Liu De remembered that it was also at this time in his previous life that it was reported that King Wu Liu Bi and his generals were plotting to rebel against the imperial court. Later, after a few days of delay, Liu Bi was already full of murderous intent and was sharpening his sword to deal with Liu Bi.
The emperor himself softened first...
Why?
Liu De got off the bus and looked up at the scorching sun above his head. He whispered: "The locust plague is coming..."
And it’s not a locust plague, but again and again.
Throughout June to August, locusts were like guerrillas, eating here and there, and even places in Guanzhong reported the sighting of locusts.
It’s just that the scale is relatively small!
In this era, locusts, like comets, are God's warning to the monarch...
