Seven hundred and sixtieth chapters besieged by kings
Watching the Taichang official named Zhang Kang being dragged out like a dead pig.
Liu Che then turned back to Dou Pengzu and said: "Although Taichang has neglected his duties and laxly supervised his subordinates, it is not like this..."
"I'll fine you half a year's salary as a warning to others!" Liu Che said calmly.
"Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for your kindness..." Dou Pengzu said with a smile.
Half a year's salary fine?
He didn't rely on so-called salary to live on.
To be honest, his salary, allowances, and subsidies add up to less than 500,000 yuan a year.
It's not even as good as the output of his country in one month now.
Especially the new Jiaen fiefdom, in the past May alone, had contributed hundreds of thousands of worth of wood and animal skins to him.
Not to mention, fines for relatives?
This is definitely hilarious!
Dou Pengzu even hoped that the emperor would punish him with a few more years of salary.
Because no matter how much the emperor punishes you, the Eastern Palace will use various names to reward you with double rewards.
This has also been the unspoken rule of the Han Dynasty for a long time.
The emperor is a white face, and the East Palace is a red face.
This is not only true for a relative, but also for general heroes and nobles, as long as the emperor still wants to use him.
It’s just that the compensation for relatives will be more.
Relying on such a combination of kindness and power, Liu firmly grasped power.
"There is no law in Jinan, and the people are forced to break the law and impose excessive taxes, which makes the people intolerable. Tingwei..." Liu Che asked: "What should we do according to the law?"
"According to the law, the king should abandon the city, and all the disciples should be deposed as ghosts and city officials!" Tingwei Zhao Yu, who had already known Liu Che's attitude, came out with murderous intent.
Liu Piguang's crime, theoretically speaking, should indeed be the case if things are done in accordance with the law!
but……
His surname is Liu...
I remember back then, Liu Bi's father, Liu Zhong, was named acting king by Liu Bang and sat at the foot of the Great Wall, directly bordering the Huns.
Liu Bang's original intention was to train his brother.
As a result, Liu Bang never expected that such a coward would appear in the old Liu family.
When the Huns invaded the country, Liu Zhong didn't even care about his country, people or army. He left his people and wealth behind and fled to Luoyang.
Its running speed, let alone the Han Dynasty, even the Huns could only lament: they can't catch up!
If it were any other person who escaped from the battle, just this one, even if he was a pawn, he would have to act according to military law and be beheaded immediately in public display.
But nothing happened to Liu Zhong.
It's just that it was abolished as Heyang Hou.
His son Liu Bi was later made King of Wu because of his military exploits.
Therefore, Liu Piguang was cut in half, let alone cut in half.
Even beheading will not work!
What's more, the Liu family has an unspoken rule of not humiliating generals.
As long as it is not a heinous crime such as rebellion, treason or chaos.
More than two thousand stones is equivalent to a gold medal for immunity from death.
Although this death-free gold medal will become invalid in many cases.
But within Lao Liu's family, its credibility is just now.
Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, no member of the clan named Liu has ever been sent to the guillotine.
Even Wu King Liu Bi was killed by the Dongou people after his rebellion failed.
In the past, the other six rebellious kings besides Liu Bi were also given preferential treatment by being allowed to commit suicide by taking poison.
To be fair, Liu Cheruo would have punished Liu Piguang with the two current so-called crimes of "enforcing people to break the law" and "exerting excessive taxes".
So, in the end, the most he can do is become a prince, but he can still live a good life.
But, how could Liu Che let Liu Piguang pass so easily?
Liu Che sighed and said: "Jinan, my great uncle. I can't bear to impose the law on the king, and the court will discuss it later!"
This is what must be done.
This is true regardless of tradition or etiquette.
How can a nephew casually accuse his uncle?
How could the emperor ignore his fellow clan members and deal with his own relatives?
Even if he needs to be dealt with, there must be conclusive evidence to prove it. If he is not dealt with, the world will perish, the heaven and the earth will collapse, and God will be angry.
Then, the emperor could bear the pain and punish him in the face of such serious consequences.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, Liang Wang Liu Wu, who had already negotiated a deal with Liu Che, suddenly stood up and worshiped: "I thought that King Biguang of Jinan, as the Lord of Jinan, was favored by Your Majesty, the late Emperor, and did not want to report it.
My father-in-law, I am trying to protect the common people, but I am tyrannical and extortionate, I have no regard for the king's law, I am ashamed of the emperor's spirit, I am ashamed of the virtue of the emperor Hui, I have betrayed the trust of my ancestors and the ancestral temple, but I have sinned against the people of Jinan, making the people resentful and uneasy all over the world!"
"I was entrusted by the late emperor. The late emperor made me the eldest son of the princes and royal clans in the world. I dare not disobey the late emperor's order and boldly write to your majesty: The prince of Jinan has been honored, but there is no one like him. He cannot be enshrined in the ancestral temple and the country. It is appropriate for him to do so.
He should be removed from his feudal state, his title as king should be removed, and he should be ordered to report his crime to the Gaomiao Temple!"
All the ministers in the palace suddenly looked like they were blinded by 24k krypton gold!
When did King Liang have a deep hatred for Jinan?
Seeing how Liang Wang is acting, he probably won’t give up until Jinan is killed, right?
Especially the sentence about accusing Gaomiao...
It was as if Liu Piguang was thrown into the cauldron and cooked!
Even worse than this!
Under what circumstances does a prince need to go to a high temple to confess his crime?
It must be the time when he is punished by heaven.
They have all sinned against Heaven, and there is no use in praying.
Even if he doesn't commit suicide, he will be violently killed!
However, it is obvious that everyone's ideas have not kept up with the pace.
After Liu Wu, Liu Che's brothers also came out one after another and paid homage: "Your Majesty, I all agree with this proposal. I all think that the king of Jinan can no longer worship the ancestral temple. Please use your thunder to punish him!"
Some people looked at these late emperors and their disciples, and each of them insisted on punishing the King of Jinan with great righteousness.
It seems that if Jinan is not punished, their ancestors will come to their door at night to nag them!
But, this is still just the beginning.
"Your Majesty..." A eunuch's voice came from outside the palace: "King Dai, King Yan, and King Chengyang are asking for an audience outside the palace!"
King Liu Deng of Dai, King Liu Dingguo of Yan, and King Liu Xi of Chengyang were all princes and princes who came to Chang'an to congratulate Queen Mother Bo on her birthday.
"Xuan!" An unnoticed smile appeared on Liu Che's lips.
"I ascend to the throne on behalf of the king..."
"Your Majesty, King Yan, will rule the country..."
"Your Majesty, King Chengyang, is pleased..."
The three clan princes and kings walked into the palace and kowtowed.
These three people, in normal times, are just like cats and dogs.
But now, their birth and identity determine that their words will be of great importance.
Because King Dai is the grandson of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, King Yan is the great-grandson of Emperor Gao, and King Chengyang is the grandson of King Hui of Qi.
To a certain extent, their opinions can generally represent the opinions of other princes and kings.
"I heard from Jinan that Jinan has no royal laws, imposes excessive taxes, and forces people to violate the laws and other crimes..." Liu Deng said: "Although I am a descendant of Jinan, I am shameless, hate pain deeply, and am ashamed to be associated with this generation.
, His Majesty, speed up the severity of the situation and impose punishment on behalf of Heaven!"
What Liu Deng said is not surprising.
Although Liu Deng and his father Liu Shen have always been unknown.
But like his father, Dai Xiao Wang Liu Shen, he is a good king recognized by the world.
Traditionally, the people were treated lightly with corvees and low taxes, and the country was left with more than 2,000 corvee quotas every year.
This is indeed an unimaginable thing for a large country that can legally recruit at least four thousand civilians every year.
Therefore, Liu Shen was given the posthumous title of "filial piety"
A filial person is kind and loving to his relatives.
This is an extremely rare posthumous title.
As for Liu Deng, he was later given the posthumous title of "Gong".
In the Han Dynasty, posthumous titles and laws were mutually respectful and interoperable.
This is also a beautiful posthumous title.
In the Han Dynasty, it was rare to see two consecutive generations of princes and kings with beautiful posthumous titles.
So far, only King Chu Yuan and his son have won this award.
King Liu Dingguo of Yan also kowtowed and said: "It is the same for ministers to rule the country. It is not easy for our ancestors to make contributions and establish careers. Emperor Gao practiced martial arts, and Emperor Taizong brought benefits to the world. The late emperor used literature and virtue to achieve today. Please make plans for the ancestral temple and the country.
Get rid of this foolish king for the world!"
Okay...
Liu Ze's descendants began to sell Liu Fei's descendants again, and this time the sales were even more popular.
Last time, I just said that my cousin is too bad, so he is also a bad guy!
Now the finger is pointed directly at Liu Biguang himself!
However, this seems to be quite normal.
What Liu Ze's descendants like to do most is to cause trouble for Liu Fei's descendants.
Being able to see the other person's discomfort is the greatest joy for Liu Ze and other princes and kings!
Everyone's attention was focused on Chengyang King Liu Xi.
Liu Xi’s father is Liu Zhang.
It's the Zhu Xuhou in the Historical Records.
This is an incredible clan hero.
Even in front of Empress Lu, she dared to kill people and ridicule her, and she managed to escape unscathed.
At that time, Liu Zhang's sentence, "After plowing deeply to plant the crops, the seedlings will be sparse; if they are not planted, they should be hoeed away." Empress Lu was choked and speechless.
After this sentence spread, it also became a slogan for Liu's die-hard loyalists and the unity of the princes and kings.
In the end, a great alliance of princes and heroes was formed. Taking advantage of the window of opportunity after Queen Lu's death, they launched a coup and bloodbathed the princes and their party members.
But what is more interesting is that Liu Xi is the daughter of Liu Zhang and Lu Lu.
In other words, Liu Xi was the last vassal king in the world who might have a blood relationship with Zhu Lu.
But now, Liu Xi's other identity attracts even more attention.
Because, in terms of blood relationship, he is the nephew of Jinan King Liu Biguang.
Although, the princes and kings of the Chengyang family had long drawn a clear line with Qilu.
When Liu Zhang was still alive, he even personally led troops and participated in the military operation to quell the rebellion of his brother Liu Xingju.
From that time on, the Chengyang kings and his family were die-hard loyalists to Liu Che and his family.
Otherwise, when King Li of Huainan died of starvation, Taizong would not have moved Liu Xi Town to Huainan. Huainan at that time was not the Huainan it is today. It was a big country with several counties!
Its territory included the entire territory of present-day Hengshan, Lujiang and Huainan.
But no matter how die-hard you are, you still have to save some face and a way out for your uncle, right?
Many people are speculating in their hearts.
But unfortunately, Liu Xi did not achieve these wishes at all.
For Liu Xi, he knew very well who he and his descendants relied on for their wealth.
If the Emperor of Chang'an does not favor him and his descendants, he, a king with the blood of Zhu Lu, and his descendants will soon be taken advantage of by the crowd.
In the Han Dynasty, there were two things that everyone could do and do very well.
The first thing is to scold Qin Wudao.
The second thing is to spurn Zhu Lu.
"I also agree!" Liu Xi bowed deeply, and then said: "And, as far as I know, this is the only thing in Jinan..."
"When I was in Chengyang, an envoy from Wu Ni passed through the border. The envoy told me that Jinan, Jiaodong, Jiaoxi, Jibei, Zichuan and Qi all followed Wu Ni's initiative and wanted to raise troops. The envoy threatened me and said:
If the king does not follow the advice of the king of Wu, one day the army will attack the territory, and the king’s ancestral temple and the country will not be protected!”
"However, I am deeply grateful for the kindness of Taizong and the late emperor, and I dare not or forget it, and I am willing to betray my master and rebel against the supreme leader. Therefore, I ordered the people around to behead the Wu Ni envoy as a tribute to the late emperor, and played in detail what he said.
Dedicate your work to the late emperor!"
"Your Majesty can read the records of the late emperor's daily life and review the memorials, and you will know that there is not a single lie in what I said!"
"The late Emperor showed his great kindness by pardoning Jinan's serious crime of rebellion. His kindness is not unkind! However, they did not want to repent, but became more and more aggressive. I thought that your majesty could no longer indulge... I am happy, and I will die to commemorate it!"
As soon as Liu Xi said these words, the entire Xuanshi Palace fell silent.
Countless people only felt a chill running down their spines.
When Wu Chu was in rebellion, the whole world knew that Wu Chu had won over those princes and kings.
Except for the King of Wu, the King of Huainan and the King of Zhao who have been convicted of rebellion.
The kings of Qi, Lu and Huaisi are also on the list of rebels.
But didn’t they rebel after all?
The late emperor did not pursue any further investigation.
After Liu Che came to the throne, he pretended that there was no such thing.
Everyone also thinks in their hearts that this matter is a thing of the past.
But now, Chengyang King Liu Xi has decisively pierced this layer of window paper.
what does that mean?
Anyone who is even remotely politically sensitive knows this.
"Settling accounts after the fall!" Countless people looked at each other.
If it is true, then the problem is not just a Jinan King Pill.
But the six kings of Qi and Lu.
Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, Liu Xian, the king of Zichuan, Liu Xiongqu, the king of Jiaodong, Liu Yan, the king of Jiaoxi, Liu Zhi, the king of Jibei, and Liu Biguang, the king of Jinan.
None of these six descendants of King Qi Hui can escape!
Many people thought about it in their hearts and immediately understood why King Liang and the late emperor's disciples danced so happily.
The six descendants of Qi and Lu, the descendants of King Qi Mouhui, will be abolished once they are granted the title of feudal state.
Then the poor people in Linjiang, Changsha, and Changshan, who live in remote and remote areas and eat chaffy vegetables, can move to Qilu, where the economy is prosperous, the land is fertile, and the transportation is developed, and become lonely and widowed.
Even Jiangdu and Huainan can benefit from this matter.
In addition, the two heirs of the late emperor who have not yet been crowned kings can also benefit from this change.
Suddenly there are six more vacant feudal states to choose from.
I believe that the two useless concubines will use all possible methods to participate in it.
"No wonder I heard that the abandoned concubine went to Yongshou Hall in the East Palace early today and was willing to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Bo..." A well-informed person was thinking about something unusual: "Other concubines of the late emperor also
We all went to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager... I thought something was wrong! It turned out that it was because of this!"
Therefore, countless people immediately decided to keep their mouths shut on this matter.
Absolutely no nonsense!
The reason is very simple. The late emperor and his concubines did not have a single fuel-efficient lamp.
With their combined power, even the emperor has to give in. If he offends them, he and his descendants will never have peace! (To be continued.)
