A close attendant advised her that the queen wanted to go to Luoyang. Although the journey was not very far, it was not too close either.
Especially in this era, traveling far away is actually a very dangerous thing. Many people disappear just walking. Thieves, diseases, wild beasts, anything can happen. And the young master is so young, if something happens
But what to do?
Empress Lu just replied coldly: This guy's body is stiff, it's okay.
For Liu Changer, how did happiness disappear?
He originally thought that once his mother left, he could completely let himself go, but he never expected that his mother would actually take him with her. He was probably worried that the palace would have been demolished by Liu Chang when he came back.
However, if you think about it from another perspective, this is your first time traveling far away, and you may be able to see a lot of interesting things. Liu Chang can only comfort himself in this way.
The empress's trip was similar to that of the emperor's trip. Thousands of people left Chang'an City in a mighty manner. Liu Chang didn't even have time to say goodbye to his brothers, and was surrounded by Lu
Then he grabbed her and left.
Liu Chang happily jumped into his mother's car and looked at the scene outside through the car curtain.
There are indeed common people in Chang'an City.
When the carriage slowly left the palace and entered the main street, in the distance, passers-by could be seen being stopped by the accompanying warriors. Most of these common people were carrying farm tools and seemed to have just left the house to cultivate the fields. They were just like Liu
There is almost no difference between the craftsmen I saw.
The same ragged clothes, the same sluggishness, and skinny bones. After seeing the frame, he knelt down in horror and buried his head.
Of course, you can occasionally see wealthy people, and they are much calmer. Although they are kneeling, you can still see their high crowns.
Liu Chang suddenly felt bored. The people in Chang'an City were all the same, and there was no difference at all.
After the carriage left Chang'an, the road became even more bleak. Most of the time, all Liu Chang could see were endless trees and wilderness, let alone pedestrians. Sometimes, if he saw a small thing, Liu Chang would
Excited for a long time.
This trip was somewhat different from what Liu Chang had imagined.
My father's ability to govern the country must be too poor. The roads are uneasy, and pedestrians and merchants can't be seen. The people he sees are unremarkable, and they are so poor that they are so poor... Liu Chang secretly complained in his heart.
.
Compared to him, Empress Lu just closed her eyes and rested. Only when she arrived at some counties, Empress Lu would open her eyes and call the officials here. Sometimes she would give rewards, sometimes she would reprimand, and sometimes she would simply
Just catch them.
When they passed a county town, Liu Chang didn't know what it was called. Anyway, it was a county town with short walls. Almost all the people here came out to greet Empress Lu. It was extremely lively. You could also see the people holding various kinds of coins in their hands.
Planting all kinds of things and eating pots of pulp to welcome the king's master.
Liu Chang was very excited, finally able to see the lively scene, but Queen Lu's face became quite ugly.
She immediately ordered the county magistrate who came to greet her to be arrested, put into a prison van, and dismissed the local people.
"It's only February, it's not busy with farming, and he has good intentions. Why would my mother do this??"
Liu Chang's eyes widened in confusion, while Empress Lu just shook her head and said nothing.
........
Peng Yue never thought that he would have such a day.
The Han envoy who left returned and returned with him, as well as the missing servant.
The Han envoys led thousands of elites and rushed into the capital when Peng Yue was completely unprepared. They first took control of Liang's army in the capital, and then went to capture Hu Zhe who was discussing with the ministers about going to war.
After hearing the Han envoy read out their crimes, they became furious, refused to surrender, and resisted violently.
After knocking down six soldiers, Hu was shot dead.
When the Han envoy threw Hu Zou's head in front of Peng Yue, the old Liang King trembled all over, stared at the head on the ground, and began to cry.
Peng Yue was shocked and confused at the beginning, but now, only sadness and pain remain.
However, the Han envoy did not give him time to mourn. The soldiers put him into a prison car, covered him in chains, and drove out of the capital. When the prison car drove away quickly, the people of the capital were shocked.
Looking at his own king in the prison car.
Most of the people were afraid. Not knowing what was happening, they fled one after another and never dared to go out again. There were some exceptions.
The soldiers who had been dismissed by Peng Yue and started farming again, after seeing Peng Yue in the prison car, roared, raised the farm tools in their hands, and launched a charge towards the soldiers in front of them.
"No...go back! Everyone go back!"
Peng Yue roared.
"Rush! Save the general!"
Those old, dying souls seemed to have returned to the original battlefield at that moment, rushing towards the Chu army, bravely rushing towards the heavily armed soldiers in front of them, coming to escort King Liang's army.
Suddenly there was a commotion.
The soldiers fought with those people. Along the way, the soldiers of Liang State did not resist, and the ministers of Liang State did not resist. The only ones who resisted were an unknown general and a group of peasants who had put down their swords.
Perhaps these peasants were also famous warriors at the beginning, fierce men who had made the King of Chu helpless. However, they were also old. They had no weapons in their hands and no strong armor on their bodies. They fell one by one, but none of them
After retreating, more and more former soldiers who learned about this incident began to go to war. They took their servants and their families to fight against the Han army.
The Han envoy felt that he could not delay the situation any longer, so he led a group of people to fight back and asked others to quickly send Peng Yue out of the city.
When the prison car left the royal capital, Peng Yue was in the prison car, with tears streaming down his face. He was speechless and just cried in a low voice. Seeing the tragic deaths of his innocent brothers one after another in the past, his heart seemed to be broken.
The sharp blade cut it out hard.
The servant was following Peng Yue on horseback at the moment, and his expression was also very uneasy.
"This is all your fault, my king... Why did you rebel? If you didn't rebel, how would they die?"
"Although I am fighting with you, we are all ministers of the Han Dynasty. I am doing this for the sake of justice... There is nothing wrong with me..."
"If I wait for you to raise an army, I don't know how many people will die. I am saving people..."
The servant said in a panic, saying it over and over again.
Peng Yue didn't look at him at all, didn't even defend himself, shed tears, looked dazed, and remained silent, as if he couldn't see the servant at all.
Peng Yue was imprisoned in Luoyang. At the same time, Liu Bang put down his affairs and came to Luoyang to judge the former King of Liang.
"Are you rebelling?"
King Liang, covered with chains, knelt on the ground and faced the interrogation of the chief officer without saying a word.
"Did your subordinate Hu Zou persuade you to start a rebellion?"
King Liang still did not answer.
"Your Majesty still has a chance to appeal. Is your Majesty ready to plead guilty?"
Peng Yue slowly raised his head and said with tears: "I am not guilty...my subordinates are not guilty..."
After three or four days of interrogation by the officials, it was finally determined that King Pengyue of Liang had an attempt to rebel. His subordinates had repeatedly persuaded him to rebel. At the same time, recently, King Liang had recruited soldiers on a large scale and hoarded food and grass, which was an attempt to rebel.
During the arrest process, he was suspected of inciting the people of Liang State to attack soldiers. The servant of Liang State can testify, and there are complete witnesses and material evidence. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, his clan and those involved should be punished for the crime of treason.
Clan.
Liu Bang arrived very quietly, and few people knew that the emperor had arrived.
He hurriedly came to the prison and looked at Peng Yue, who was covered in chains.
For some reason, there was no trace of joy on his face.
"Why do you want to rebel?"
"I...have never rebelled...I have never rebelled..."
Peng Yue, who had been ill before, now looked even more miserable, with disheveled hair and a dazed expression. He could no longer see the slightest trace of the heroic King of Liang.
"The ministers request me to execute you."
Liu Bang said.
Peng Yue slowly raised his head, staring into Liu Bang's eyes with numb eyes.
Liu Bang looked at him, his hands sometimes clenched and sometimes loosened, his expression changed, his lips trembled slightly, and his pupils seemed to be trembling.
After being silent for a long time, Liu Bang finally spoke.
"I pardon the death penalty of King Liang and his clan, depose King Liang to a commoner, remove his shackles, and exile him to Shu, so that he can rest in peace in his old age."
"Your Majesty! No!"
Zhao Yao, the imperial censor, was shocked. He shouted: "When the King of Chu rebelled, you did not kill him. That's why there are so many rebellious princes in the world. Now you want to pardon King Liang. Do you want to let the princes in the world
