The two hundred and twenty-ninth section fight against each other
Liu De looked at Chao Cuo and touched his chin. He stood up and said, "Liu An, the king of Huainan, was unkind. He secretly met with the envoy of Wu and turned his back on the Han Dynasty. My father ordered me to summon all the ministers and ministers to discuss together: Liu An
Guilty or not..."
Liu De clapped his hands, and the eunuch standing behind him carried a box of bamboo slips and walked to the tent.
Liu De looked at the box and said: "What is contained in the box are all the illegal things and treasonous remarks of King Huainan reported by Zhang Shizhi, the Prime Minister of Huainan Kingdom, and officials at all levels of Huainan Kingdom. All ministers are free to read it!"
The ministers looked at each other. The news was indeed shocking, but not surprising.
More than ten years ago, Liu Chang died on a hunger strike on his way to the Qiongwu area. His son Liu An was already a teenager at that time and was already sensible.
Witnessed the tragic death of his father.
Liu An complained about the court in his heart, made some complaints in private, and cursed Chang'an. To be honest, few of the ministers found anything surprising.
However, it is a bit too much to secretly receive the feudal king's envoys, betray the emperor, and conspire to rebel.
Chao Cuo picked up the bamboo slips in the box, glanced at them briefly, and was overjoyed!
He was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I believe that King An of Huainan is extremely treasonous and unethical, and he is clearly plotting rebellion, so he should be punished!"
For Chao Cuo, there was nothing more exciting than a prince plotting against him.
Chao Cuo's greatest ideal and political ambition now is to eliminate the feudal lords and strengthen the centralization of power, so that all power in the world is in the hands of the central government.
As a Legalist politician, for him, the process is not important, only the result is important.
Therefore, when Liu Xuan, the king of Jiaoxi, sold his title privately, he wanted to cut off six of his counties.
King Zhao Liu Sui was removed from Hejian County because he had improper etiquette when offering sacrifices to the gods.
Now, Liu An dared to meet Wu King's envoy privately and raised an army to rebel, but he was caught and executed.
For Chao Cuo, this was political achievement! This was an important step in his policy of reducing vassal status.
Killing Liu An and changing Huainan Kingdom into counties is his current goal.
As soon as Chao Cuo opened his mouth, his new thug, Zhao Yu, who had just been promoted to the rank of imperial eunuch, immediately followed him and said, "Your Highness. The imperial eunuch Zhao Yumei died with the words: King An of Huainan abolished the law."
Evil. Having a deceitful and hypocritical heart, wanting to bring chaos to the world, deceiving the people, going to the ancestral temple, and making secret alliances with the princes. The Spring and Autumn Period said: I have no generals, so I will kill the generals. The crime of An is more serious than the generals, and the form of rebellion has been determined. The ministers see that they are in conflict with each other.
The documents and seals submitted by the interpreter, as well as the seals and letters submitted, as well as his rebellious and unruly deeds, are clearly proven. It is a very serious act of unrighteousness and should be punished! As for the officials of the country who are more than two hundred shi and comparable, the close relatives of the clan and the ministers are not in accordance with the law.
If you can't teach each other, you should all be reduced to the ranks of scholars, and you should not be promoted to officials. With Zhang Chen'an's crime, the world will know the way of ministers!"
As soon as these murderous remarks came out, not only Liu De, but also Chao Cuo was shocked.
Chao Cuo just wanted to punish Liu An and reduce Huainan Kingdom into counties.
He didn't mind whether Liu An lived or died.
But Zhao Yu was determined to kill Liu An!
Not only did he want to kill Liu An, but he had never seen Liu An at all, let alone participated in Liu An's plot. All the officials of the Huainan Kingdom with more than 200 shi, and the nobles and nobles of the clan who made the remarks were all ordered to sit together. The reason was: King Huainan did such a thing
You actually do not dissuade or educate those who have done something treasonous and unethical. This is simply an unforgivable crime and you will all be reduced to common people!
Liu De was also frightened when he heard this.
According to Zhao Yu's behavior, everyone in the Huainan Kingdom might be forced to go to Wu King Liu Bi.
but……
Liu De looked at Zhao Yu.
"Smart man..." Liu De thought to himself.
Zhao Yu did it on purpose!
He didn't really want to kill Liu An and cleanse all the officials and nobles of the Huainan Kingdom as he said, he just took this opportunity to get ahead.
How did Chao Cuo get involved back then?
It's just about patting your chest and talking big words to attract others' attention and side glances.
This is just like the Yuandudu fool of later generations who deceived Chongzhen in the fifth year of Pingliao.
Anyone who really believes in him and carries it out must be an idiot!
However……
Liu De raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why have I forgotten that Chao Cuo died long ago when Liu An was under house arrest in his previous life?"
This was the biggest omission of all his previous ideas.
Chao Cuo is still alive now. Not only is he alive, but he is about to become a royal censor. After two more years of qualifications, he might be able to become the prime minister.
Considering Chao Cuo's character and his hostility towards the princes, will he let Liu An go?
Liu De remembered very clearly that in his previous life, Chao Cuo was a master who dared to undermine the feudal kingdoms of Chu King Liu Wu and Wu King Liu Bi!
Liu De smiled slightly, turned to look at the others, and asked, "Ministers, do you have any different opinions?"
Liu De naturally knows his current role.
It is no exaggeration to say that the moment he was ordered to preside over the court meeting, he announced to the world that he was the next generation monarch of the Han Dynasty and the future emperor.
Therefore, presiding over the court meeting this time is extremely important to him.
He must do his job well.
The most important thing about presiding over court discussions is to listen to various different opinions and then present them word by word in front of his father.
All other things should not be taken care of.
In court discussions, he must remain completely neutral.
"I think the matter is not as serious as Chao Neishi and Zhao Jian..." Yuan An stood up quietly and paid his respects.
Three days ago, Yuan An had already met the Emperor Liu Qi.
Therefore, the emperor restored Yuan An's title in the name of "assist Liu De, go out of Ding Fenxi, stabilize Hedong, and contribute to the country", and also appointed him as the imperial servant.
In this way, Yuan Ang returned to the court and appeared in the camp as Jiu Qing.
Seeing Yuan Ang's triumphant look, Chao Cuo tilted his head to one side.
Chao Cuo felt that as soon as he saw Yuan An, his head hurt terribly. Hearing Yuan An's voice in his ears, his stomach felt like nauseating.
"Although Wang An of Huainan is guilty, it is not serious enough to warrant death. Moreover, Wang An of Huainan is a blood relative of the clan. Whether he is guilty or not and how he should be punished is up to your Majesty to decide. I, my ministers, will bow their heads and accept the order...
..." Yuan An said calmly.
This was his first battle after returning to the court, and it was also the first time he and Chao Cuo faced off again after a year.
Regardless of anything else, there is at least one thing: disgusting Chao Cuo is something he must do.
When Chao Cuo heard what Yuan Ang said, he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
The grudge between him and Yuan An has developed to this day and is no longer a matter of political differences or personality issues.
It is a life and death struggle between you and me, with me and without him.
If Yuan Ang gains power, Chao Cuo can guess with his butt what his fate will be.
So Chao Cuo looked at Yuan Ang and said, "Did the servant accept Liu An's bribe to excuse the thief?"
As soon as Yuan An heard Chao Cuo's words, he immediately remembered how Chao Cuo dealt with him a year ago.
Framed!
Yuan An suddenly turned around, stared at Chao Cuo, and said with a sneer: "Does the internal history want to dig up the walls of the high temple again? I don't dare to accompany you!"
More than a month ago, Chao Cuo dug up the wall of the Gaomiao. He could not hide it from others, but he could not hide it from Yuan An.
Chao Cuo's legalist identity makes him do anything by any means necessary. As long as the result is right, it doesn't matter no matter how dirty the process is.
When Chao Cuo heard this, he felt as if his underwear had been taken off in public, exposing his penis.
Chao Cuo has always had a bad temper and can rarely hold it back.
Upon hearing this, his only reaction was: beat him!
So, he punched out fiercely.
Liu De finally knew that Dou Ying had his forehead broken by a punch from Chao Cuo. (To be continued...)
