It is said that Liu Tong's five sons gathered in the study outside Liu's mansion to take over the government, and found a gold seal and a tiger charm on the desk. Liu Shu's eldest son was surprised and said: "I have never seen this box! There was nothing like this yesterday."
The third child couldn't help but be happy: "Depending on whether we had this box yesterday, we will definitely have it today."
Chang Sui said anxiously: "Really not!"
The room was full of civil servants who came to discuss matters. They were all helpless and no one dared to grab anything from Liu's hand. They just stood there blankly. Liu Qian thought for a moment and said: "Since there are five generals,
How about we work together to govern the country and let five of them take turns holding the seal, each one for one day?"
The five people surnamed Liu were all stunned. The fourth Liu Ge glanced at him and chuckled: "Master Liu is indeed not an easy person. One day per person is too inconvenient. How about seven days per person?"
Liu Qian smiled and said: "Of course the generals have the final say."
Liu Gedao: "In that case, let's release the guild leaders locked in the cells first, and we will discuss it with them."
Liu Qian thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine."
Liu Ge said: "We go to the prison in person to pick up the old man, which seems more sincere."
One official couldn't help but sneer, but said nothing. The other four people all agreed. Then the five picked up the box and went to the cell.
As soon as they left, everyone went to see Liu Qian. Liu Qian said: "They were the ones who caused this strike. The general is helpless. If it continues, something big will happen. If not, let them calm down. The most important thing is to find the general."
General, it doesn't matter anything else." He frowned and said, "The general's seal is always carried with him, why is it placed in the box now."
The Chang Sui quickly said: "There really wasn't this box yesterday! I don't know how it came out."
Liu Qian thought: "Could it be that...the general deliberately played this trick to let them jump out to quell the strike?" He then said, "It's impossible. Then he should wear a gold seal on his body.
"
Another official said: "It's just that the tiger charm fell into their hands..."
Liu Qian said: "For many years, the generals have not allowed them to interfere in military affairs. Even if they take the tiger talisman, they don't know what they can do. If they want to replace them, there is no one to replace them. As long as they find the generals, everything else will be easy." He
Yu Zhutong was the leader of the civil servants of the Lu State. Once he spoke, others naturally listened to him. Then they dispersed and arranged for people to look for Liu Shu without mentioning it.
The first five Lius went to pick up a group of wealthy men from the cell. Liu Ge seemed to face them and handed them over: "Everyone has been wronged."
The leaders of the meeting also said seriously: "Thank you for your hard work, five generals."
Then he welcomed them directly into the house of Liu Ge, the fourth son, and sent people to every house to report that the masters had been released. Not long after, businessmen from all over the city rushed to meet them one after another, and the hall was filled with people. Liu Ge's staff,
Liu Feng, the leader of the Commercial Party, came out to preside over the scene, and the government and businessmen met happily. In the afternoon, all commercial banks in Jinan resumed trading, which couldn't be easier.
After the merchants dispersed, General Liu sat in a room full of smiles. The second one pulled Liu Feng first and said, "Mr. Liu, you have to tell me today how you coaxed the boss out of the city."
Liu Feng laughed and said: "It would be boring if you knew it."
"BoF also wants to know." Lao Wu said, "I'm scratching my head."
Liu Fengnai sat down and said: "It's actually very easy. I coaxed him and told him that the Japanese, Yan and Wu vassals would join forces to attack the Liu vassal. Zhu Tong is a scholar and doesn't know how to fight. He still wants the generals over there to obey his command. Japan is in danger. Let's strike him.
They had no choice but to find an excuse to avoid it, so they hurriedly wrote a letter and ordered a personal soldier to be sent back to the house, and then rushed to Japan. They were also confused. It had been several days, and they didn't realize that Liu Shu was leading the troops from outside the north gate.
An army left!"
Lao Qi asked: "Since I have written a letter, why are the boss and the others still wandering around like chickens?"
Liu Feng smiled and said: "Because the soldier who delivered the message was killed by me." Wu Liu clapped his hands and laughed.
At this time, Liu Ge sent someone to post a notice. In the next few days, the leaders will discuss with the five generals of Liu to come up with a way to solve the problem of the Chinese Federation suddenly not giving Lu the best trade benefits. The gold seal and the tiger talisman will be left behind first.
Liu Ge's office. Even the second brother and the other four brothers agreed. Liu Ge also ordered people to carry tiger talismans to various military camps, and ordered all generals to arrive in Jinan in three days to discuss important matters.
The generals arrived according to the day. They saw a banquet filled with wine in front of the hall. Liu Ge was sitting in the hall, with Liu Feng standing next to him. After everyone took their seats, Liu Ge raised his wine glass and said, "Generals, please drink this glass first." The generals didn't know what he was going to do.
Whatever he did, he drank. Liu Ge sneered at the corner of his mouth and said, "Today's banquet is just to release military power over a glass of wine. The army of Lu State must be reorganized. Everyone, please go home and rest for the time being."
All the generals were shocked. An old general slapped the table and said, "What if we don't agree?"
Liu Gesen said: "It's up to you to agree or not. The person named Liu in Lu State has the final say." He clapped his hands twice, and a group of soldiers carrying muskets poured in from outside. The generals were all excited when they entered the house.
Their weapons and firearms were confiscated, so they had no choice but to surrender. The soldiers stepped forward one by one to collect the general's seal.
Another veteran sneered: "The four generals can take charge of military affairs because they have the tiger talisman?"
"Of course." Liu Ge said, "With the tiger talisman, you can take charge of military affairs. If you don't believe it, just wait and see, general. I know that you have been in the army for many years and have great military prestige." He chuckled, "But, no matter how powerful the military prestige is, it is better than
But the soldiers' pay has been doubled. Do you think this general is right?" The generals were stunned.
A general said loudly: "Four generals, it is useless to rely solely on soldiers' pay. When the general comes back, everything will be restored."
Liu Ge chuckled: "Restore it to restore it. But since the soldiers' pay has been increased, won't it be difficult to reduce it when my eldest brother comes back?"
Everyone was stunned. A short general asked: "The fourth general also thinks that the great general will come back? What does the fourth general want to do?"
"Nothing." Liu Ge said nonchalantly, "I just want to give more money to the soldiers, so that Liu Shu will be embarrassed to go back after he comes back. No matter what, the military expenditure of the Lu Kingdom will inevitably increase a lot in the future. I know that I am not
I'm the hero, so I don't expect to hold the Tiger Talisman for long. Besides, Japan still has Zhu Tong. The more discomfort I can bring to the boss, the happier I will be." As he said this, he burst out laughing. All the generals looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
good.
Like a naughty boy, Liu Ge forcibly withdrew all the generals of the Lu army. He found a group of young generals from nowhere and sent them out randomly. All the generals were disarmed and returned to their fields. The generals held the general's seal in their hands and told the soldiers
The soldiers' pay was doubled, and then the Lu army began to be reorganized. This is a story later.
After the merchants resumed trading, Wu Liu discussed with the guilds for more than half a month and decided to set up a "parliament". Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce all elected members to discuss major events in Lu State. As soon as this move came out, the whole country was at a loss. Because it had never been done before.
I have heard that there are people who deal with government affairs in this way, and others have no idea what they want to do. But the young people of Lu State strongly support this assembly. They have been studying since childhood, and the class president was elected by their classmates. Now I heard that they are going to elect someone.
Everyone happily participates in political discussions.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly called Liu Qian into the house and asked, "Master Liu, what do those traitors mean?"
Liu Qian smiled bitterly and said: "After all, the Lu State is not theirs, and they have randomly distributed the power that originally belonged to the general to others. After the general came back, all the peasants, industrialists, and merchants of the Lu State have experienced the feeling of having great power. I am afraid no one is willing to complain.
Come out."
Old Mrs. Liu was stunned. After a long while, she said: "What the hell is this..."
Liu Qian said: "The old cat is not at home, and the mice are crawling in the house."
"This... what should we do!" Mrs. Liu said anxiously, "Sir, please think of a way!"
Liu Qian sighed and said: "If I had any idea, I would have used it long ago. They did not follow the rules and made chaos, and I was helpless. I could only hope that the general would come back soon." Mrs. Liu naturally knew that there was no news about her son, so she only
There was sigh after sigh.
Three months later, the House of Representatives was initially formed. Liu Feng, the leader of the Business Party, was elected as the leader, and Liu Ge from the Liu family was only the deputy leader. Liu Shu was still missing. Above the Lu court hall, the House of Representatives and Liu Qian
The leading civil servants separated their powers.
In August of that year, something suddenly happened in Japan. The Japanese Yan and Wu forces worked together to capture Liu. No one knew how the battle was fought. The only news that came out was that they won the battle without a single blow or a single shot.
.The Wu vassal has always been controlled by Wei Ruoheng, an important official of the Wu state. After the separation of Wu and Yue, they no longer contributed taxes to the Wu state. This time they suddenly joined forces with the Yan vassal, and the Wu state itself was shocked.
More than ten days later, the three Japanese vassals announced their merger into the Japanese province, and Feng Tang, the former governor of the Yan vassal, was appointed as the governor of the Japanese province. Everyone in the world understood that it was actually the Yan vassal that annexed the Wu vassal and the Liu vassal. "Yanjing Daily" immediately
It was announced that Japan Province had joined the Chinese Federal Empire, and a bright yellow five-pointed star would be added to the red flag of the Star and Moon, making it eleven. Zhu Tong, the former acting governor of Liu Dynasty in Japan, resigned, saying that he had no face to return to the State of Lu to see his lord, so he boarded the ship and left.
Gone without a trace.
In September, Liu Feng, the leader of the Lu National Assembly, went to Beijing to meet with the members of the capital assembly hall. A few days later, the Chinese Federation announced that it would resume the most-favored nation status in trade with Lu. The Lu State would start negotiations with the Federation and sign many cooperation agreements.
In a small courtyard on the outskirts of Jinan city, chrysanthemums are blooming on the ground. There is a person sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard. It is Liu Shu who has been missing for several months. Liu Shu is holding the newly arrived "Jinan Half Monthly News" and reading carefully. Suddenly he hears the sound of footsteps.
, someone walked in from outside. Liu Shu raised his head and saw his own Liu Feng walking in with hands and hands, sitting directly opposite the stone table.
Liu Shu said casually: "You're back?"
Liu Feng said: "I'm back. We'll discuss the trade agreement in a few days."
Liu Shu snorted: "Jia Cong didn't want you to join his federation?"
Liu Feng said: "Because Lu State wants to try out a dual parliamentary system, it will not join the federation for the time being."
Liu Shu was stunned for a moment, then he thought about the meaning of his words and slapped the newspaper: "Could it be that Mr. Liu and Jia Cong had colluded for a long time?"
"More than that." Liu Feng said calmly, "I am one of Jia Cong's earliest counselors."
Liu Shu was stunned. After a long while, he tugged on his ears: "What did you say?"
"I said, I am one of Jia Cong's earliest counselors." Liu Feng said, "The other one is Wu Xiaoxi, the chief storekeeper of Red Bones."
"This..." Liu Shu stayed for a long time and suddenly asked, "You have already become the prime minister of Qin. Why do you want to resign? Why don't you just take Qin?"
Liu Feng said: "Qin is a large vassal state, and it is not easy to win. Lu is small, and the power is not in the hands of King Lu, so it is more appropriate to experiment with the parliamentary system."
Liu Shu was stunned again. For a long time, he held his head and asked: "How did Mr. Liu comfort my younger brothers? They didn't start fighting?"
Liu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Actually, people in your family are quite easy to deceive."
It turned out that Liu Shu heard that the market strike was caused by his fourth brother Liu Ge, and immediately decided to find out. As soon as he left, Liu Qian sent a clerk to Liu Feng to report the matter. Liu Ge's family left Liu
The family's house was far away, and Liu Shu was far away when Liu Feng received the telegram. He then cleared out the people in Liu Ge's study room and other places outside the front yard of his house, and arranged an ambush. He told Liu Ge that he was going to deceive Liu Shu, and told him that Liu Shu would
As soon as he left the outer study, he closed the hanging flower door and stayed away. Liu Ge later dared to swear an oath with Mrs. Liu on his late mother because he really didn't know anything.
In fact, Liu Shu was not deceived into going to Japan, but was captured alive by Liu Feng, and sent people to wear the clothes of him and his soldiers and ride out of the north gate of the city. They also found the golden seal tiger charm from Liu Shu, and sent Liu Shu to
The craftsman in the house placed it in a red lacquer box. Liu Shu turned around and told the seventh child of the Liu family that he heard that Liu Shu's gold seal was clearly displayed on the desk outside his study room. The seventh child was a child, and he had been wearing it ever since he entered the house.
He turned his eyes to look for the gold seal, but couldn't find it. Then he saw the red lacquer box, thinking that it would be blatant if the gold seal was placed here. When he opened it, it turned out to be the case.
After hearing this, Liu Shu sighed and felt a little embarrassed: "It's really easy to deceive. How can it be so easy to deceive?"
Liu Feng thought for a while: "Really want to know? Then I will apply to transfer the files from the capital. General Liu will understand after reading it."
Liu Shu raised his chin and said, "Mr. Liu, how long are you going to lock me up?"
"In another half a year," Liu Feng said, "it will be stable after half a year."
"Half a year is too long." Liu Shu said, "I want to write a letter to Jia Cong."
"oh?"
Liu Shuzheng sat down and said: "This world will definitely fall into the hands of Jia Cong. I have a good relationship with him, so I might as well join him."
Liu Feng nodded: "That's very good."
Liu Shu then wrote a letter to Jia Cong to surrender. Liu Feng also wrote a report and went to Beijing to collect files.
Not long after, Jia Cong's reply came, asking him to send Liu Shu to the capital. The file Liu Feng applied for also arrived, and it belonged to the State of Yan. Liu Feng said: "This is a top-secret file. It happened before the four generals rebelled against the capital." He handed it to him casually.
Liu Shu.
At that time, King Situ Cen of Yan was still a virtuous king. He secretly investigated twenty-three military generals and selected two of them. One was Cao Datong, the former commander-in-chief of Tianjin, and the other was Liu Tong, the former commander of Shandong.
They are all the same, reckless and easy to deceive. They are the old emperor's men. The Ministry of Punishment has evidence of their crimes. They have no reliable staff around them. Their sons are not outstanding and do not like to study. Situ Cen then assigned two people to be with them. Cao Cao
Datong kidnapped the emperor in the imperial mausoleum, and Liu Tong led his troops to Beijing to abolish the throne. It was Situ Cen's people who instigated him. After the founding of Lu, that man gradually fell out of favor and became useless, so Feng Ziying transferred him away.
Liu Shu covered his head and sighed: "It turns out that my father is a reckless man specially selected by King Yan."
Liu Feng smiled and said: "Your Majesty said this more than once. Do you still remember that he once used a woman as his counselor?"
"Remember," Liu Shu said, "the aunt beside the Queen Mother."
"That woman is a spy assigned by Concubine Hui to the Queen Mother." Liu Feng said, "She belongs to King Chen." Liu Shu covered his face.
