The 349th section of the kings discussing politics (2)
The brothers had all arrived, so Liu Che stepped forward and said to the kings: "Come in with me to face the saint!"
So, Liu Che took the lead, followed closely by Liu Rong. The princes either walked alone, or under the leadership of the tutor or wet nurse, climbed up the stairs and entered the greenhouse hall one by one.
As soon as he entered the palace, Liu Che smelled the faint scent of burning sandalwood.
Raising his head slightly, he saw the emperor's father, wearing the emperor's nine hairpins on his head and a crimson robe, sitting upright, not squinting, looking at Brother Liu Che with a majestic expression.
Liu Che was slightly surprised. He remembered clearly that yesterday, when he went to the palace to greet him as usual, the emperor's father was not in such good spirits as he is now. He was even a little depressed at that time.
"Ginseng!" Liu Che thought in his heart, probably only the best old mountain ginseng can have such effects.
Since King Zhenfan donated ginseng, ginseng, a plant that was originally found all over the mountainous areas of Zhenfan and was common as a weed and only used by a few tribal wizards for medicinal purposes, quickly became a new luxury item in Chang'an.
As far as Liu Che knew, in the past few months, the Shaofu alone had sent four groups of envoys to North Korea to ask for or trade ginseng.
At least among aristocratic circles with close ties to the royal family, ginseng has become a magical tonic that people are eager to possess.
What should I do if I get sick? Stewed hens with ginseng!
What to do when going out for fun? Stewed hens with ginseng!
What should I do if my sex is not strong? Stewed hen with ginseng.
Some people even regard ginseng as a miracle medicine that can cure all kinds of diseases!
only……
Three-drug!
Occasionally using ginseng can certainly strengthen your body, but if you eat it as a meal or even use it as a stimulant, you will be in big trouble!
According to Liu Che's observation, the emperor's father has been drinking ginseng almost every day since he fainted, relying on ginseng's powerful effect of boosting the spirit and replenishing yang energy to maintain his frenzied working state every day.
If this continues, Liu Che is not sure what will happen in the future.
only……
There are some things that even father and son cannot say!
What's more, the relationship between monarch and minister is also mixed in!
Of course, the most important thing is... Liu Che himself also has some vague expectations in his heart...
He couldn't tell exactly what he expected.
He only knew that since the emperor's father fainted, he would dream about himself sitting on the dragon couch and giving orders every night at midnight.
Power is like the hardest drug in the world to quit. As long as you have tasted it, there are too few people who can let it go!
Sometimes I know clearly that that is not good.
But driven by ambition, most people will step into the abyss.
Liu Che felt at this moment that there seemed to be a voice in his heart that was bewitching him: The nights are long and there are many dreams. It would be better if the old man died earlier!
Especially, when Liu Che saw Liu She babbling and running towards the emperor's father, the voice in his heart suddenly became extremely loud, occupying almost all of his mind.
Fortunately, he still had some sense, so he came to his senses in a moment, knelt down quickly, and kowtowed with his brothers: "My son, Liu Che, led all the kings and brothers to pay homage to my father! May my emperor live long live!"
The brothers also knelt down one after another.
Only the little pig babbling walked up to the emperor's father and said in a cowardly voice: "Father, father, I miss you so much..."
When the emperor Liu Qi saw his youngest son, he was extremely happy. He immediately stepped off the dragon couch and picked up Liu She's small body. At the same time, he said to Liu Che: "The prince and the kings are free of ceremony. Come and give me a seat!"
Liu She walked into his father's arms and immediately started laughing.
I have to say that Liu She was a very cute and lovable young lady when she was a child.
Her pink and tender mouth kissed the Emperor's father back and forth, completely ignoring the painful beard on the Emperor's father's face.
Liu Che felt a little unhappy when he saw it.
Regarding the favor that Xiaozhu received in front of the emperor's father, Liu Che had mixed feelings in his heart, and even had a faint murderous intention.
Whoever called that little pig was actually Emperor Sejong Xiaowu in history, and he was also his tormentor in his previous life!
Of course, Liu Che hid all these emotions very well. He even looked at it all with a smile on his face.
He walked to his seat, sat down cross-legged, and then, in an envious tone, smiled and said: "Looking at the appearance of my tenth brother, I really wish I could go back to the time when I was a child of three or five years old, clinging to my father's knees. Be naughty, laugh and have fun!”
When the emperor Liu Qi heard this, he laughed and scolded: "If the prince wants, he can be like Ah Zhi, and I will not blame him!" After saying this, he burst into laughter.
As an emperor and a father, there is nothing he hopes to see more than this.
Brothers, friends, and brothers are respectful and harmonious.
However, how did he know that his prince Liu Che wanted to kill Liu She who was acting coquettishly in his arms at this moment!
Even Liu Che had more radical ideas in his mind...
At this time, Liu She suddenly raised his head and said: "Father, father, where are the mother and concubine! Ah Zhi hasn't seen the mother and concubine for a long time! Where has the mother and concubine gone?"
The originally harmonious atmosphere was completely destroyed in an instant, and Emperor Liu Qi's face turned ashen!
Liu Qi is now extremely disgusted with this woman Wang Quan!
Otherwise, he would not have been directly imprisoned in Yeting!
If he hadn't been concerned about the occasion, I'm afraid he would have had an attack on the spot!
With his wisdom, how could he not guess that everything Liu She did since he entered the palace was probably ordered by others, and was even rehearsed in secret many times!
Otherwise, how could Liu Zhi, a child under three years old, act coquettishly to please him whenever he came around, and now he suddenly mentioned Wang Quan!
This is all too rigid and rigid!
You almost treat him like a three-year-old child!
This is where the anger comes in!
This does not mean that others cannot instigate Liu She to act cute and plead for his biological mother.
It is a matter of course to serve one's son and one's biological mother.
However, treating him like a three-year-old child is an intolerable crime!
When Liu Che saw this scene, although he felt very happy, a generous smile appeared on his face, and he immediately stepped forward and said: "Father, I haven't hugged Ah Sheng for a long time. Can I let you go?" Give me a hug!”
He has the air of a magnanimous brother, and this attitude is such that no one can find fault with him.
It was natural for the emperor Liu Qi to step down. After all, he still loved Liu She very much, and he was extremely fond of this young son.
Who said Liu Sheng was so good?
He happened to be born on the day he ascended the throne!
So, he smiled and said: "Ashe, can you let the prince give me a hug?"
Liu She blinked his eyes, smiled and nodded.
Regarding Liu Che, he only felt that this brother liked him very much and loved him very much.
For a three-year-old child, he is happy to play with anyone who can benefit him, coax him, and pamper him.
And Liu Che had just teased him outside the palace. Before this impression faded, he naturally opened his hands and ran to Liu Che. He said in a sweet voice: "Brother, Prince, Ah She wants a hug!"
Liu Che naturally smiled and picked him up.
The murderous intention in my heart was gone at this moment.
The reason is very simple. After what happened just now, Liu She will never want to see his mother again in this life!
An underage prince without a mother, what can he do to threaten his position?
But Liu Rong on the side wanted to strangle Liu She to death!
Brother Prince????
Liu Rong only felt that there were a million horses racing past in his heart.
"I'm not dead yet! How come Liu De has become the eldest brother?" Liu Rong has always scoffed at the rumor that Liu De was approved by the late emperor since he was a child and appointed as his successor!
As the eldest grandson, Liu Rong naturally knew that when the late emperor was alive, he never showed any favoritism to any of his grandsons.
There is even a question mark on how many times Liu De met the late Emperor!
Therefore, in his heart, he never acknowledged Liu De's name change to Liu Che, and he never expressed any reaction to Liu De's name change.
In his opinion, that word "Che" should have been his!
It's just that Liu De, an unfilial fellow, used evil ways to take over it!
He is the successor who should be designated by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen!
It's just that no one cares about what he thinks at this time.
Liu Che hugged Liu She, triumphantly, like a big brother who really cared about and doted on his younger brother. He walked in front of the brothers, and then stopped beside Liu He.
"Brother, look, Ashe looks exactly like you when you were a child. Look at the nose and mouth, they are so cute!" Liu Che said with a smile.
Although Liu Yan was a bit stupid, he immediately understood the elegant meaning of the song after hearing it. He immediately knew that this was an opportunity for his brother to create extra points for him to show his face in front of his father, and he didn't know how to grasp it.
He immediately smiled and said: "Brother, you are too praised. I remember that when I was young, I was not as cute as Ah Zhi, and I often made my father angry..."
When he opened his mouth, Emperor Liu Qi finally noticed Liu Yan.
There is no way, who is called Liu Yan, the third child, even if it is not Liu Rong, as the eldest son, he has an innate advantage. Even if he is not successful, he is still the first son, and he has expectations after he is born.
Not to mention Liu Fei and Liu Duan, who were born with disabilities.
For these two sons, he, the emperor, and the Queen Mother Dou, felt guilty in his heart, so he would take care of and even show favoritism in everything.
Sons like Liu Yan and Liu Fa, who had neither strengths nor shortcomings and were extremely mediocre, really didn't impress him much as an emperor.
That is to say, the prince Liu Che, for some reason, always took great care of Liu Lang and even ignored some taboos to stand up for Liu Lang. This made the emperor have more impressions of his third son.
But, that’s all!
At this moment, after hearing Liu Lang's words, he remembered that when Liu Lang was young, he seemed to be as affectionate as Liu She in his arms, and he also loved this child very much.
But as the number of heirs increased, and Su Ji had such a bad temper, he didn't bother to visit the eldest, second, and third.
After so many years...I'm afraid this child has suffered a lot!
Liu Qi sighed in his heart.
Men are like this. The older they get, the more they miss their youth.
Even the emperor is no exception.
When Emperor Liu Qi thought about the past, he naturally thought of the three years when the three brothers Liu Rong, Liu Che and Liu Yan were born one after another, his joy and happiness, his youth and passion.
As a result, the sensitive nerves in his heart were quietly touched.
"Am I too harsh on Liu Rong and Liu Yan?" He thought in his mind. Especially now, Liu Che is okay, he is a prince after all. In the future, he will be crowned emperor, and he will dominate the world.
But Liu Rong and Liu Yan lost their mothers early!
Come to think of it, among so many sons, they may be the only ones who may have a harder life in the future.
A child without his mother will definitely have a worse life than other sons!
At that time, Huainan King Liu Chang was like this, and so was the acting king Liu Deng!
However, he only thinks about these things in his heart and will not tell anyone.
However, as long as you have such thoughts in your heart, you will naturally become softer on certain things!
The emperor Liu Qi watched brothers Liu Che and Liu Yan teasing Liu She. He estimated the time and said: "Okay, Prince, King of Hejian, don't be busy teasing Ah She now. Nurse, take the prince down!"
Liu She's wet nurse, Mrs. Jin, quickly stepped forward respectfully, hugged Liu She and stepped aside.
Liu Che also quickly returned to his seat and sat down in front of him.
The emperor Liu Qi looked at his sons and said: "Today, I summoned the prince and the princes to come here. There is something that I want all the kings and princes to come and discuss!"
He clapped his hands, and immediately a dozen eunuchs filed in holding many bamboo slips.
These bamboo slips were distributed to all his sons, and even the little guy Liu She had one in front of him.
Liu Qi continued: "All the kings, please take a look and discuss what should be done!"
"I have discussed it yesterday with the Prime Minister, the Imperial Censor, Zong Zheng, and Taichang! The kings can speak freely as to what the specific conclusion should be!"
Liu Che opened the bamboo slips. As he expected, they were all dirty information about Liu Sui.
From disrespecting Chang'an and reneging on the sidelines, to having liaisons with the Huns, communicating with Liu Sui, and even conspiring to raise troops together, the evidence is conclusive, and it is really difficult for Liu Sui to survive!
However, as the prince, Liu Che could not speak first.
Otherwise, if word spreads, someone will definitely gossip!
But you can't wait until all the brothers have finished speaking, otherwise it will appear that the prince is not responsible.
Generally speaking, Liu Che believes that the third statement is more appropriate for this kind of matter.
So, he quietly waited for the reactions of other brothers.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Liu Che saw that Changshan King Liu Fei was "rising up" and quickly came out to pay homage: "My son, Changshan King Fei, reported to my father: King Zhao Liu Sui is rebellious and unruly, and he is unreasonable."
You can inherit the ancestral temple, and I think that there is a supervisor at the moment, and it will be done according to the law!"
These murderous and unabashed words made Liu Che feel a little cold on his neck.
But at the same time, I also scolded this guy in my heart as "shabi".
The reason is very simple. The Han Dynasty is the most shameless person in the world. Even if the emperor hates a certain prince and king until his teeth itch, his face will always be harmonious.
When the body of Liu Bi's crown prince was sent back to Wu, Liu Bi directly said to the envoy who went to return the body: "He died in Chang'an and was buried in Chang'an. Why send it back?"
He sent the prince's body back to Chang'an and slapped the court in the face.
He never made pilgrimages to Chang'an again.
Even so, the Han Dynasty court acquiesced in Liu Bi's choice and even gave him a few battles to prevent him from going to Chang'an.
If this example is relatively far away and many people don’t remember it.
Then, what happened in front of him should make Liu Fei have a longer memory!
After Liu Bi was crowned the head, the emperor Liu Qi said to the ministers hypocritically: "Although Wu Ni is immoral, I cannot be ruthless. He ordered the ministers to choose a virtuous person from the royal family of the King of Wu, and his heir will be the incense of the Wu ancestral temple!"
Before he finished speaking, an edict from Empress Dowager Dou arrived - Although the King of Wu is old, he has no moral principles. How can he continue his ancestral temple?
Then this thing will never happen again!
Anyone with a discerning eye doesn't know that this is a play, performed for the world to see - look, the court is still very righteous. King Wu has rebelled against the emperor, but he still wants to continue the incense of the ancestral temple. He is truly a saint of benevolence and righteousness.
Lord! After reading the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors several times, through all the dynasties, can I still find such a kind and kind monarch?
What's more important is that the emperor acted and performed a complete set!
Since Wu Guo was opposed by the Empress Dowager, as a son of a human being and with filial piety as his first priority, he had to give up "with pain".
Then, it would naturally be impossible for Chu State to swallow it.
Therefore, the emperor issued an edict pardoning all the ministers and nobles of Chu State except those who were rebellious. Even if they were rebellious, they should be treated differently according to the situation.
It's just that this edict was issued a little late. Most of the nobility and landowners and gentry in Chu State had basically been killed by the army on the front line under the emperor's edict!
Then, the real drama comes.
The emperor continued to issue an edict and recognized the King of Chu Liu Wu, who died in an assassination attempt in October last year, and issued an edict to appoint the prince of Chu Yuan, Ping Luhou Li, to heir to the ancestral temple of the state of Chu.
For the sake of face, the emperor vomited out a great country that he had eaten into his stomach.
If you continue to treat Liu Sui like this with murderous intent, shouting to beat him and kill him, isn't this a slap in the emperor's father's face?
It can only be said that this guy Liu Fei was so eager for Zhao that he was so powerful that he lost his mind!
Liu Che sneered in his heart.
The old Liu family is obsessed with face, not only wants to be a bitch, but also wants to build an archway, although if it is really spread out for others to see, everyone will find it contemptible!
However, Liu Che knew very well that this was the fundamental reason why the Liu family could last for five to six hundred years, and even come back to glory at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Because this is the best strategy to win people's hearts.
And a dynasty that doesn't even want to build a memorial arch, but just wants to be a bitch in a hurry, is lucky to live for more than fifty years!
For example, Cao Wei...
After Liu Fei, Liu Rong also woke up.
This is a great opportunity for me to show off in front of my father!
Liu Rong immediately came out, fearing that Liu Che would jump out and steal the limelight, he knelt down and reported: "Reporting to my father, I think that what King Zhao did is really the anger of both humans and gods, and it is not something that can be done by human ministers! I think back to those days.
, King You died unexpectedly, so the late emperor took pity on him and made him King of Zhao. His life and death were intermittent. Unexpectedly, he was not only ungrateful, but also did so many unfaithful and unfilial things. I thought that he should be killed to serve as a warning to others!
"
In Liu Rong's view, there is almost only one way to deal with this matter.
If Liu Sui is let go, then in the future, all the princes and kings will rebel?
Anyway, if you rebel, you won’t be punished, so who is afraid?
Thinking like this, Liu Rong was like a victorious rooster, looking back at Liu Che proudly, as if to say: Even if you are as cunning as a wolf, you have to eat my foot-washing water this time!
As long as he thinks about finally winning against Liu Che, Liu Rong feels that every cell in his body is groaning in comfort. (To be continued)
ps: Recently I was at my wife’s house. She didn’t have internet at home, so she had to rely on hotspots to post. Every time she posted, it was like a war. It took at least half an hour to log in and upload... Therefore, the book review area is temporarily out of control.
Thank you for your comments and opinions. I will read them one by one when I get home in two days~~~~~~~
