The atmosphere in Handan City began to become weird.
The palace of King Zhao was even more tense and heavily guarded.
King Liu Sui of Zhao is in his thirties this year. He is tall and strong. Among the princes, he has always been famous for his bravery. He himself believes that if he had lived during the time when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, he might not be able to compete with Xiang Yu.
Compare your strength.
"The emperor of Chang'an sent a son of a foreign relative to come to Xingyang to seize my military power!" Liu Sui walked in the main hall of the palace and said with full of resentment: "This is tolerable, which one is intolerable!"
His face was terrifyingly gloomy at the moment, and all the eunuchs serving him were trembling with fear, fearing that they would offend the king.
Liu Sui was not a good-tempered person. In his childhood, he witnessed the tragedy of his father Liu You going to Chang'an and never coming back. Therefore, he had a cruel character and would kill his slaves with a stick. Even his concubines were often beaten by him.
His nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
"Go and invite the King of Wu's envoy here!" Liu Sui thought for a while and ordered.
The emperor of Chang'an wanted to take away his military power, which made him extremely afraid.
This reminded Liu Sui of his father. Back then, his father Liu You was deprived of all his military power by the Prime Minister General Guan Ying who was stationed in Xingyang at that time. He was then conscripted into Chang'an by Empress Lu and never came back.
!
Not only that, he and his younger brother Liu Piqiang could not even keep the kingdom, and Zhao Guo changed his surname to Lu.
This matter is the nightmare in his heart!
Now, in his view, the emperor of Chang'an's actions were an attempt to repeat his old tricks. How could he just sit back and wait for death?
Since you are unkind, then don’t blame me for being unjust!
The State of Zhao is no better than the State of Qi.
Because his father died miserably, he won great sympathy from the people of Zhao after he came to the throne. Therefore, his popularity was quite high, and he himself knew the military and was good at fighting. Therefore, the soldiers of Zhao's counties and counties were ten thousand.
Nine of the captains were promoted by him, and he had great control over the army. He could basically change the country's flag with just one order.
The big deal is, the fish will die and the net will break!
The State of Zhao is adjacent to the Great Wall. It’s not like they have never dealt with the Huns. If it’s really difficult, just borrow the Huns soldiers to enter the border!
At this time, a eunuch came in from the outside, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, the prime minister has established virtue in the country, and Wang Shen, the internal historian, wants to see you!"
"Why do these two people come to me?" Liu Sui muttered to himself with a gloomy face. Then he waved his hand and scolded: "If you don't see me, you will say that I am sick and cannot care about politics! If something happens, the prime minister will make his own decisions.
That’s it!”
Prime Minister Zhao Jiande and internal historian Wang Shen were all pawns placed by the late emperor in his Zhao country to monitor him. How could he not know this?
If they really contacted Wu and the Huns, they decided to raise an army. The first person Liu Sui wanted to kill was these two Han family officials to vent his hatred of being suppressed and oppressed by them all these years.
"The king is ill, so I have to come to see you!" Two officials in mysterious clothes broke through the guards, walked in, and bowed to Liu Sui: "I am Jiande! I am careful! Pay my respects to my king!"
"
We haven't broken up yet, so no matter how reluctant Liu Sui is, he can only wave his hand and say: "Prime Minister, the internal history is so anxious to see you, is there something big going on?"
"Exactly!" The leading official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the angel is here. Please take a bath, change clothes, and receive the imperial edict!"
Liu Sui's face twitched. He looked outside and saw heavy shadows of halberds outside. There seemed to be hundreds of people walking around. He was startled. He lowered his head helplessly and said, "The angel is here. Why don't you confiscate it?"
Got the news? That’s all, that’s all, I’m going to take a shower and change clothes now!”
Then, Liu Sui went straight into the back hall. As soon as he entered the palace, he immediately took out a tiger talisman, handed it to one of his most trusted eunuchs, and ordered: "Immediately take the tiger talisman and leave the palace secretly, and order the Handan guard to
The lieutenant immediately reorganized his troops, and after half an hour, he sent someone to the palace to visit me. If I don’t come forward, I will immediately raise troops and make noise!"
"No!" The eunuch nodded and walked quickly with the tiger talisman.
Then, Liu Sui pretended to change his clothes. After delaying for a while, at the urging of Prime Minister Zhao Jiande, he reluctantly walked to the main hall and said, "Where is the angel?"
Zhao Jiande clapped his hands, and a chamberlain holding the Emperor's Festival, followed by several eunuchs, walked in. The chamberlain glanced at Liu Sui and asked, "But in front of King Zhao?"
"It's the widow!"
"King Zhao accepts the edict!" The chamberlain nodded, respectfully took the silk book from the hand of a eunuch behind him who was holding a silk book respectfully, held it in his hand, and opened it.
Liu Sui knelt down helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Sui, respectfully listen to the emperor's teachings!"
"The emperor issued an edict: My imperial grandfather, Emperor Gao, raised an army to eliminate Qin's cruelty and violence with the world, suppressed Yu's rebellion, and suppressed the puppet rebellion. The whole world was on the verge of death. He punished the white horse to ally with the princes: "The Liu family is not the king, and the world will attack it together!
"Lu Lulu, the descendant of Lu, relied on his favor and noble relatives to steal a large number of troops and plan to endanger the clan. King You died in sorrow and anger. My emperor, Taizong, Emperor Xiaowen, therefore minted him, and made Liu Sui the king of Zhao. His life and death were intermittent. In ancient times,
The Son of Heaven is a holy virtue. I am not virtuous, but I also recall the injury of King You. His order is to grant two thousand households in the Zhao Kingdom, and grant Zhao Kingdom a special favor. All descendants will be repaid by Zongzheng, and one day he will be the king, and he will be worshiped in the ancestral temple.
Wouldn’t it be great to build a country? The book says: I am a virtue to you, and I am a success to you. I order you to be maozai! Qinzi! In the sixth month of the year Bing and Wu, Renchen!”
"Your Majesty, please accept the imperial edict!" After the edict was read out by the eunuch, Zhao Xiang Zhao Jiande and internal historian Wang Shen immediately knelt down and said.
At this moment, Liu Sui felt huge waves in his heart.
Seal 2,000 households and grant favors?
Of course he knew that this was a cover-up plan by the Emperor of Chang'an.
But……
There was an unknown light shining in his eyes.
Since he has angels here, there must also be angels from Qi, Jiaoxi, Chengyang, Jiaodong, Linzi and other countries to summon him to cooperate with the general's move to take over power.
He asked himself whether he could still control his son and relatives, but the losers of the Qi princes must be in high spirits at this moment and no longer have the heart to rebel.
If Zhu Qi doesn't cooperate, if Zhao wants to jump, where can he jump?
To put it bluntly, if he jumps around, when the Xingyang soldiers come from the east and the Great Wall cavalry comes from the south, Zhao will not be able to hold on for half a month and will be crushed to pieces. Liu Sui is not a fool.
, naturally he would not do such a thing that would lead to death.
The most important thing is that with this edict, he no longer even has the name of rebellion.
Before, he could say that the Emperor of Chang'an was bullying others too much and humiliating him. Now that the Emperor of Chang'an has granted another two thousand households and granted special favors, he wants to rebel, and the soldiers will not agree!
So, he could only kneel down and sob: "I, Liu Sui, burst into tears with gratitude. I obey the emperor's edict and will be loyal and serve the Han Dynasty!"
Zhao Jiande, the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, and Wang Shen, the internal historian, looked at each other, and a big stone fell in their hearts. Since King Zhao had obeyed the imperial edict, it would mean that he had no excuse and name for rebellion. Without this excuse and name, even if he still wanted to rebel,
, Zhao Guojun soldiers will not follow!
But they still couldn't relax. They had to wait until the general arrived in Xingyang before they could really feel at ease. By then the general would be stationed in Xingyang and take charge of all military and state affairs of Qi and Zhao. With just one piece of silk, he could order all the military officers of Qi and Zhao to be commanders and above.
They were transferred to Xingyang to obey orders and drain the firepower. Only then could they truly have a good sleep!
At the same time, the same scene was playing out in Linzi, Gaomi, Jiaoxi, Jimo, Jiaodong and other Qi Kingdom capitals. Unlike Liu Sui, these princes and kings immediately forgot their previous resentments as soon as they saw the benefits.
, Oh, they didn’t even have any resentment at all, they were just grumblings.
Seeing the benefits at this time, whether it was Liu Xuan, the king of Jiaoxi, who had been cut off six counties before, or Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, he immediately put aside the little calculation in his heart and took the benefits first.
Say it again.
The royal families of various countries immediately fell into disputes for power and favor. Princes and concubines began to think about their future paths. If they could, they would think about the addiction of the king and the queen mother. If they could not, they would also focus on Che.
The title of Marquis.
At this time, the envoys of the King of Wu, who had previously been running around and communicating with each other, were immediately ignored by the princes of Qi.
Liu Xun, the king of Jiaoxi, even directly told the envoy of King Wu: "It is the greatest joy to inherit an emperor!"
He actually wants to be a loyal minister!
This is pretty good!
Liu Xi, the king of Chengyang, had no intention of having an affair with Chang'an. Now that he got the benefits and was granted a title, he immediately drove Wu Shi out of the palace impatiently. If he hadn't wanted to retain some love, Liu Xi would have planned to do so.
The Wu envoy was tied up and given to the court!
Only Liu Sui secretly kept an extra thought, and still entertained the Wu envoy with good wine and meat, but he never mentioned the rebellion again.
It took another two days for the news of the locust plague in Hedong to reach Qi and Zhao.
Liu Sui cursed: "I see..." and there was no more to follow. As for the princes of Qi, they were so worried by their sons and concubines that they had no time to care about what happened in Hedong! (Unfinished)
to be continued..)
ps: Well, I spent the entire afternoon writing the details because I messed up the entire history... Readers who often read history know that this kind of plot with a completely changed history is the most difficult to write, and it must be written in a reasonable and beautiful way.
Disaster!
But if I follow the original history and pretend that I don't know that there is such a choice, it will be easy to write, but it will be boring. It's fine if the time traveler doesn't change history. I don't know how to choose a more advantageous method for time travel and rebirth.
, then it can only mean that it is a pig!
And there’s not much point in copying history books~!
I hope I can write some new ideas~
After finishing this chapter, we turn back to the protagonist~
