In this world, the human heart is always the most difficult thing to predict, bar none.+◆,
"How could your Majesty do this?" The bright candlelight illuminated the speaker's face.
This is a man that people will definitely remember deeply after taking one look at him.
Not because she is beautiful, nor because she is ugly.
Just fat.
My whole body is fat.
His swollen belly was so swollen that even the wide ribbon could not wrap around his bloated waist, and the fat on his chest was even more exaggerated than a woman's breasts.
The accumulation of fat on the cheeks makes it almost impossible to see the facial features clearly.
There is no doubt that this is a foodie.
In his past life, he spent all his energy on one thing: eating!
Suppose we want to hold a big eating competition involving all mankind in this world before the Christian era.
Then, this man is definitely qualified to represent the Han Dynasty and has the potential to compete for the championship.
He is Zhifanghou Yongchen.
To be precise, it should be Shifanghou.
But who said that his father Yong Chi had offended Emperor Gao too deeply?
Therefore, Emperor Gao deliberately wrote the word Shifang as Zhifang in the canonization edict (Shiyinzhi in Han Dynasty, Fangyinfang, Shifang and Zhifang have the same pronunciation, Shiji Index Note), and sealed his father.
Liu Bang could even be called the Black Emperor, let alone a minister.
Therefore, the Yong family could only accept this insulting title.
Thunder, rain and dew are all your grace.
Yong Chi and Yong Chen didn't have any other ideas.
For so many years, I have been staying at home honestly, doing my job, and waiting to die. I never go out to cause trouble to the court or the people, nor do I go out to compete with others for power.
Relying on the 2,500 households in the feudal state, the Yong family lived a life of peace with the world.
Moreover, Yong Chen’s father Yong Chi is very knowledgeable.
After the death of Emperor Gao, he immediately committed suicide in various ways, eating and drinking, and partying in the dark. It only took three years for him to successfully commit suicide and go to Changling to accompany Emperor Gao.
After Yongchen came to the throne, he firmly remembered his father's lesson: Don't get involved in the troubles caused by the old Liu family.
The Lu family came to power. Yongchen stayed at home and ate. The Lu family collapsed, and Chang'an was slaughtered in darkness. Yongchen still stayed at home and ate. When Taizong came to power, the world was peaceful, and Yongchen still stayed at home and ate.
From the time he took over his father's title at the age of fifteen until now, Yong Chen has perfectly demonstrated to the princes of the Han Dynasty how fat a person can be and what is the limit.
Today, Yong Chen weighs at least more than 200 kilograms. In normal times, four servants are needed to lift his body.
He is a moving mountain of meat.
Obesity caused Yong Chen to suffer from many diseases. It can also be said to be a miracle that he is still alive today.
In the original history, Yong Chen should have died at this time, and then he went underground to report to his father with the conclusion that the court gave him a coffin: Zhi Fang Huang Hou.
One word "wild" can explain a lot of problems.
The posthumous title is: He is fond of pleasure and neglects politics, which is called Huang: He is lustful about sounds and colors. He is lazy in political affairs. It is also said: He is disordered externally and internally, which is called Huang: If the family is not managed, the officials are not managed.
However, Yongchen's ability to live to this day must be attributed to Chun Yuyi. Since Chunyu Yi took charge of the Imperial Physician Temple, the level of medical treatment in the Han Dynasty has improved a lot.
Maybe this kind of improvement is just like that to others, but for a guy like Yong Chen who is suffering from chronic diseases, it is great news.
At least, now, Yong Chen is still alive as proof.
In normal times, Zhi Fanghou of the Yong family was an invisible person in the political arena of the Han Dynasty.
If there is no major event such as the appointment of a crown prince, the death of the emperor, or the enthronement of a new monarch, there is no way you can find anyone who is interested in the Marquis in any official announcement or on any occasion.
However, now, Yong Chen can no longer remain invisible.
Because the man standing in front of him was named Lu Shichen. He was the third generation of Xinyang Marquis and one of the few relatives of the old Yong family.
Although Lu Shichen's surname is Lu, he has nothing to do with Empress Lu's family.
Lu Chen, the first generation Marquis of Xinyang, was a mid-level officer in Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising army. After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were betrayed by the traitor Jia Zhuang, Lu Chen organized the remaining rebels and established the "Cangtou Army" to continue fighting and regained the territory twice.
He moved to Chen, the capital of the Zhang Chu regime, so he was favored by King Huai of Chu and was named Zuo Lingyin.
It was at this time that the old Lu family hugged Liu Bang, a golden man... Of course, the old Lu family also gave a favor to another player, Xiang Yu.
Therefore, after the narrow-minded Liu Bang became emperor, he rewarded people based on their merits and divided the world. The old Lu family, who originally believed that "Conglong was earlier," betted early, and "kneeled and licked in time," only received "merits".
According to the evaluation of "Bitang Yihou", one thousand households are divided into food...
As a powerful local faction, the old Lu family suffered the worst.
As the saying goes, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gao was injured and died in the war against Yingbo, and Empress Lu took power.
Because they are both surnamed Lu, and Empress Lu liked and appreciated Lu Shichen's father Lu Chen's health regimen. Lu Chen lived the longest in the history of the Han Dynasty, except for Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping who passed away last year.
He lived for almost a hundred years and died in the sixth year of Emperor Taizong's reign. He was given the posthumous title of Hu Hou of Xinyang. Hu's posthumous title was interpreted as "longevity test" in the posthumous law.
But the problem lies precisely in the fact that the princes and ministers overthrew the empress Lu. Although the Lu family in Xinyang was quick to see the opportunity, they acted according to the prevailing situation and fell in favor of the alliance of princes and ministers.
But to settle accounts later, the unclear relationship between the old Lu family and the Empress Lu family has become the Achilles heel of the Lu family in Xinyang, and it will be mentioned every now and then.
For this reason, Lu Shichen had to change his name to Shichen after he ascended the throne to express his attitude of submitting to the Liu family from generation to generation and always being a loyal minister.
But this was not the case. Although Emperor Taizong said that he wanted to let the Xinyanghou family forget the past, however, every time when the old Lu family wanted to come out and "do their part" for the country, those remarks would immediately come out.
.
Therefore, the Lu family of Xinyang and the Yong family of Zhifang were brothers in need. They had the same chemistry and cherished each other. They soon became in-laws, and they were extremely close in-laws.
Lu Shichen's son married Yong Chen's daughter.
Yong Chen's eldest son also married Lu Shichen's legitimate daughter and took her two distant cousins as concubines.
"What are your plans, brother?" After Yong Chen sighed, he slowly turned around and asked with the help of two servants.
As a otaku who has been at home for forty years, although Yong Chen is fat, he is not stupid at all.
On the contrary, he has a very high IQ.
If not, how could it be possible that the Yong family could still remain among the Han nobles?
Eight hundred years ago, he was driven out of Chang'an by his father's mortal enemies and enemies!
"I came here to ask my brother to sign this joint memorial..." Lu Shichen took out a piece of silk paper from his arms and put it in front of Yong Chen's eyes.
By the light of the fire, Yong Chen only glanced at it and saw that there were densely packed signatures on it, at least sixty of them.
This is almost half of the number of people in Beijing.
Yong Chen's breathing became rapid. He raised his eyes with difficulty, looked at Lu Shichen, and said with a smile: "Although I am stupid, I understand the principle of dying lips and cold teeth, but..."
Yong Chen's eyes shone with a light he had rarely seen in forty years. He stared at Lu Shichen and asked, "How can you be sure that the emperor will definitely give in?"
"Today, we are the emperor who has the divine mandate from heaven and the people will return to their hearts!"
"Zhongni said: I have been punished by Heaven, so I have nothing to pray for!"
"Aren't you afraid of the Emperor's wrath?"
Although Yong Chen stayed at home, the news was not blocked at all.
On the contrary, he was very concerned about the situation in the DPRK.
Yong Chen is also aware of the current situation.
The emperor wants to scrap old money and exchange it for five baht. Judging from his consistent personality, it is very likely that he is trying to shock the mountain and prevent the princes, nobles, nobles and their henchmen from laundering money.
Therefore, through this unconventional attitude, I made a message to the government and the public, especially the people: Never accept money other than five baht, otherwise, you will not be able to use it.
The nobles and nobles themselves were not much affected by this dispute between old and new money.
After all, the feudal lords relied on enfeoffing the country, food, and towns to become rich and famous, not merchants.
However, the princes felt that they could never give in on this step.
Because they have already given in too much.
Since this summer and April, they have been forced by the emperor to retreat again and again, losing countless benefits.
Last time, everyone gave in because the Jiangdu incident was too involved, and the emperor gave compensation.
But this time, there was no way to retreat.
If you retreat again, it is very likely that the people will be dispersed and it will be difficult to lead the team.
The feudal class will lose control over national affairs and even lose the right to speak on national policies.
From now on, the emperor will decide the affairs of the world with one word.
The butt determines the head, so it is reasonable for the princes to launch a counterattack.
If you don't seek victory, at least let the emperor show a proper attitude and a conciliatory gesture, so as to ensure that the right to speak of the princes and nobles will not be weakened.
This world is still under the control of the nobles and the Liu family.
Yong Chen is very clear about all the above.
Because he is the prince, and he knows their thoughts and ideas very well.
only……
Yong Chen looked at Lu Shichen, raised his hand, pushed the silk book away, and said, "I beg your pardon for not following this. The incense of Yong's family cannot be cut off from my hands!"
What a joke!!!!
Yong Chen has a deep fear of today's emperor.
Because Yong Chen clearly saw the irreducible and unstoppable power that the young emperor sitting in Weiyang Palace now wields.
After the typhoon in Jiangdu this year, I have firmly established my position as king with divine power and divine protection.
He became another Chinese god after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors who could clearly and unequivocally prove that he indeed had a living god who could communicate with the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.
Wrestling with God?
Are you kidding...
You don't even need to give orders now. With just one look, the Qiu Bamen of the Northern and Southern armies can let the princes know why the flowers are so red.
Even if he retreated ten thousand steps, he gave in under the collective pressure of the princes.
What next?
Settling accounts after the fall is Liu's innate talent and deep-rooted instinct.
Emperor Gao could hold a grudge for the rest of his life because of his father Yong Chi's betrayal. He even asked his father to kneel down and lick him hard, but it still couldn't be eliminated. He had to rely on Zhang Liang to help him, so he got a good job.
In this way, Emperor Gao would deliberately humiliate him in the edict and turn Shifang into a juice recipe.
Fortunately, Yong Chen was clever. He stayed at home every day for forty years and ate as hard as he could. He finally became a fat man and accepted the title of juice recipe. Only then did the old Yong family live happily ever after.
Moreover, Jinshang is too young.
It is foreseeable that as long as nothing unexpected happens, he will rule the world for at least several decades.
Just think about today's political life. Anyone who wants to fight against him should consider whether he can survive the emperor's revenge in the next few decades.
Anyway, Yong Chen doesn't have the courage.
"When the emperor is angry, he will bleed and float in the oars, and millions of corpses will be buried!" Yong Chen stuffed the silk book back into Lu Shichen's hands with his fat hands, took a deep breath, and persuaded him as a relative: "I advise brother to do the same
Don't sign this, lest you become Marquis Zhang Yue, and those who serve as ministers of the Liu clan in this world, if you want to learn, you must learn from Marquis Lu!"
The appointment of Zhang Yue is the most famous tragedy of the Han Dynasty. Speaking of which, Zhang Yue was still a part of Yongchen's father.
It's a pity that this idiot, because of his dissolute behavior, offended Emperor Gao, and was directly abolished from the feudal state. This is also the only example of a hero in the early Han Dynasty who quickly lost his title after becoming a marquis without treason.
As for the Marquis of Lu, he was certainly not Xiang Yu.
Emperor Gao gave Xiang Yu the title of Duke of Lu.
The real Lu Hou was a woman and an old woman.
At the beginning, the Han general Xi Juan fought bravely and took the lead, always being at the forefront in every battle.
The result was tragic: he died in battle on the eve of the Han Dynasty's final ceremony.
What’s even more tragic is that Xi Juan has no sons or even brothers!
This means that no one can inherit the merits he has made.
Originally, at this point, Xi Juan must have died in vain.
However, the high emperor Liu Bang's brain circuit was different from ordinary people, and he really missed Xi Juan very much, so he pushed Xi Juan's last direct relative in this world, his mother, to the waiting list.
His mother was granted the title of Marquis of Lu, with a settlement of 4,800 households.
Moreover, among the 143 initially named meritorious officials, Xi Juan's mother was ranked seventh to be awarded the title.
Such treatment has blinded countless people.
It also completely makes people understand what the old Liu family's urine is like.
He can hate you forever, but if you let him remember your kindness, he can remember it forever.
In the past sixty years, countless examples have proved that the Liu family has the same character for four generations, always repaying those who have done evil and repaying meritorious deeds.
However, Lu Shichen did not listen to Yong Chen's advice at all.
As a prince, especially a prince who had lost power, Lu Shichen really wanted to return to the center of the stage.
Moreover, Lu Shichen didn't think that the emperor could do anything to him.
The law does not punish everyone. There are sixty or seventy ranking princes, and there are more hidden behind, and the relatives and nobles who are ready to make a move are supporting them. The emperor has nothing to do, right?
Moreover, since Taizong, it has become an unwritten rule outside of Han law that generals and ministers should not be humiliated.
It's not a rebellion, it's just a matter of discussing with the emperor and giving him face.
As for Shanggang going online to the point where the emperor is furious and is bleeding and drowning?
Then, Lu Shichen said with a smile: "Although the king is important, his courage is light..."
He wanted to persuade him again, but Yong Chen closed his eyes and said: "I'm tired, brother, please come back..." (To be continued...)
ps: I have been in a really bad state these past few days~ So, I took a good rest yesterday and reflected on it~
