Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 258 Qunxian and Qunxian Are Different
"Our king he..."

Zhang Cang hesitated for a moment, struggling with what words to use, "I decided to help the Han family and rule the world."

"Uh, it's like this. I heard that His Majesty is unwell, and the king is going to replace him to govern the big man."

Tang's court proceedings were quiet, and a steady person like Zhang Cang seemed a little tangled at the moment. After all, the news from Chang'an was really shocking.The ministers of the Tang Kingdom looked at Zhang Cang quietly. Zhang Cang said a few words, and then stopped. The letter from King Tang to him was much more straightforward, and there was a sentence on it: The few people rebelled, come to Chang'an quickly !

"Zhang Xiang, did the king rebel?"

Zhang Budo asked in a low voice.

"Cough, how can you say it's a rebellion, the king is filial piety!"

Suddenly, a thunderous noise broke out in the temple, and the ministers laughed loudly, cheered, cheered, and wept with joy. Except for a few ministers, the rest fell into the carnival and finally looked forward to this day. what! !
At this moment, Tang's traitors couldn't hold back their excitement any longer, and hugged each other.

Zhaoping lowered his head and sighed helplessly.

The king still rebelled, and he couldn't stop him at all.

Gai Gong closed his eyes and rested his mind. He didn't appear very happy or angry. Zhu Jian grinned and congratulated the ministers in succession. Wang Ling was very angry. He was reprimanding the ministers around him at the moment. Our king has rebelled. , you group of rebels are still so happy? !

Ji Bu frowned and beckoned, and suddenly several soldiers came in. Ji Bu led the soldiers to the front of the king's mausoleum, saluted, and said with a smile: "Wang Xiang, you'd better Just rest at home for a few days, please come with me."

Wang Ling looked at Ji Bu angrily and scolded: "Ji Bu! I always thought you were a loyal minister and respected you, how could you do this?"

Ji Bu was very calm, "It's better to ask the Prime Minister to rest for a few days."

Wang Ling angrily looked at Zhang Cang who was on the side, Zhang Cang didn't look away, the old man didn't see anything.

As a result, the only Wang Xiang who reprimanded the ministers in the temple and disobeyed the Tang King was taken away by Ji Bu.The whole temple cheered, and they decided to inform the Tang Kingdom about this matter, and the entire Tang Kingdom should celebrate this event!
Zhao Ping walked out of the palace sadly. He didn't stay in the palace for a banquet. Eunuch Zhao didn't want to see the king conspiracy. He shook his head, but a sigh came from beside him.

Zhaoping turned around, and Zhang Budo actually walked out, sighing and looking lonely.

Zhao Ping was furious and scolded: "It's all you traitors, forcing the king to rebel, leaving a bad name! You are not celebrating in the palace, what are you doing out?"

Zhang Budo raised his head and said sadly, "Your Majesty's rebellion didn't even bring me with me. I persuaded Your Majesty to rebel for six or seven years, but when your Majesty rebelled, I wasn't there!"

Seeing Zhang Budo's expression, for some reason, Duke Zhao's mood suddenly improved a lot.

He laughed, "Hahaha, it seems like it was taken away by the Dianke and Taipu, from the dragon's work, no doubt, you can't do anything!"

When the anti-bone man heard this, his expression became even more lonely.

"Zhaoping? Where are you going?"

"No, the old man has to go back and celebrate!"

On this day, the entire Tang Dynasty rebels were celebrating, but the loyal minister Zhang Budo left sadly, and the historian Sima Xi truthfully recorded this scene.

Compared with the rebels of the Tang Dynasty, the reactions of other counties and countries were relatively calm. Isn't it the Tang king who rebelled?What's all the fuss about?

The princes were originally going to see the court in Chang'an. They heard that Tang Wang was conspiring on the way, and they did not stop or go back, but accelerated their speed.

In Jibei County of Tang State, Liu Fei took Luan Bu's hand and begged bitterly.

"Please let the widow go, the widow must go to Chang'an!"

"I can't let you go without the king's order."

Luan Bu said seriously.

"I'm afraid the eldest brother is in danger! Then please come to command the army of Qi!"

"Your Majesty will not be in danger. Tang's army has been stationed in Hedong, Hanoi, and the North and South troops stationed outside Chang'an have already surrendered to your Majesty."

Liu Fei shook his head, "The eldest brother actually rebelled."

"King Qi! The king of my family is just doing filial piety! If you dare to criticize again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Luan Bu reminded seriously.

What happened in Chang'an made everyone panic and guess the real situation. It was just because Liu Chang had high prestige, military achievements, and strong enough power, so no one dared to resist. King Tang was not easy to mess with. All places rushed to send messengers, or went to Chang'an in person, ready to express their loyalty to the Tang king.The name of the tyrannical and tyrannical king of Tang is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone is wondering what kind of orders this king will give.

However, the two edicts issued by King Tang after he took power were beyond everyone's expectations.

The people of the world are allowed to come and go freely, without the need to show the testimonials, and the land rent and tax will be exempted and halved.

Everyone can understand that the tax reduction is to appease the hearts of the people. If you want to gain the support of the people as soon as possible, what is the reason for allowing the people to come and go freely?

Tang's army was stationed not far from Chang'an, and Lu Lu was arguing with Fan Yan about this.

"Obviously, Your Majesty is about to reform!"

Lu Lu said with an oath.

"How can you see it?"

"It's not that simple? When Shang Yang reformed, he failed to escape because he had to show his biography. When the king ascended the throne, the first decree was to abolish the test of biography. This is obviously to make plans for the future!"

"Fart! Who dares to kill the king!"

"There are many loyal ministers in the DPRK, and your father is one of them!"

Mr. Fan was furious and scolded: "Fuck! Your grandfather is the loyal minister!"

The sages in the army were arguing, and suddenly received an order to gather. When the army gathered, Zhou Yafu said solemnly: "After entering the city, immediately control all parts of the city wall, strictly guard it, and do not allow contact with close relatives. If someone comes to inquire about the situation, arrest them immediately!"

"only!!"

"Master? How is it?"

Liu Chang sat in the upper seat and asked Han Xin with a wink.

Han Xin sat in front of Liu Chang with a stern face and said nothing.

"At the beginning, you tried twice, and each time you failed, look at me, I succeeded once, without any casualties, I succeeded immediately, Master, this is called treason, my ability to treason is simply better than you're going to be higher"

"All right!"

Han Xin interrupted Liu Chang displeasedly, "I tried to persuade me at first, but you didn't agree. Now I've given up on my own ideas, but you came here like this. What are you thinking?"

"What can I do?"

"Among the brothers, I am the only one who is the most capable and virtuous! Others are so stupid that they can't even heal a village, so I can only come here. I really don't want to be the emperor, but today, Your Majesty is begging so hard. , I have no choice."

"Who will take the initiative to rebel, and who will fail to rebel? People who are truly talented will take this position passively."

Han Xin's face darkened, this Shuzi was indeed a little slapped.

Fortunately, Chang Liu quickly skipped this topic, and he said seriously: "I have decided, you will replace Guan Ying and be the captain!"

"Feng Jing and the others want to go to the Western Regions, and Wusun is a big obstacle. However, with Master here, that obstacle is not an obstacle."

Hearing Liu Chang say this, Han Xin was speechless for a long time, "Are you so relieved? Let me be the captain?"

"Heh, Chen Ping is in the palace at the moment to review the memorial table for me, so why not let you be the captain?"

"Will Master still oppose me?"

Liu Chang was very confident, but Han Xin glanced at him and said, "That's hard to say."

"Okay, okay, remember to tell me about Master's rebellion."

"What about Wusun?"

"I'm going to make it now."

"it is good!"

"Master, to conquer Wusun, you can be the vanguard!"

Han Xin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "There is no reason for the emperor to be the vanguard in the world, not to mention, to deal with Wusun, you can't dispatch a large army, you have to pay attention to strategy, it is easy to rebel, but it is not easy to appease people's hearts. , you have to meet them one by one, and for different people, you must have different strategies to make them accept you as soon as possible."

"They've already accepted it!"

"No, they respect your military exploits and fear your power, but running a country is like slaughtering meat. If you don't divide it well, you can't really conquer them."

"If Guanying, you asked me to be the captain, he would definitely be dissatisfied."

"No, the widow is going to let him go to Changsha as the country's prime minister, where he can continue to display his talents. I talked to him before, and he is willing to go."

"No one will be willing to become a vassal and a prime minister."

"Okay, okay, Master, I'm going to meet the ministers and conquer them one by one!"

Liu Chang didn't like hearing about teaching, so he simply agreed to Han Xin.

Han Xin didn't say anything more. After so many years, Han Xin was in power again. At this moment, he was a little overwhelmed. The tempering of these years made him take many things very lightly. It would be a shame to be juxtaposed with Fan Kuai and others, but now, he doesn't care. After being imprisoned for so many years, many knots in his heart have been untied.

In the temple, only Liu Chang dared to reuse him and was not worried at all.

Liu Chang was about to meet the ministers in the court, Shusun Tong and Chen Ping. They had already met. Among the three princes, Guan Ying and Zhou Chang had to meet.

Liu Chang decided to meet Zhou Chang first.

When Zhou Chang was brought into the palace, he was still full of grief and anger. For a minister like him, it was impossible for a minister like him to bow his head to Liu Chang.However, Chang Liu knew very well how he should deal with such ministers. Gentlemen like this were much easier to deal with than Chen Ping and the others.

"Hahaha, Father Zhong is here, come, sit!"

Liu Chang smiled and went to help Zhou Chang, but Zhou Chang pushed him away and said angrily, "Chang Chang... Chang Ning will die!"

Zhou Chang stuttered a little. Whenever he was angry or excited, this symptom became obvious.

"Father Zhong! When the grandmother was in power and the Son of Heaven was like a dummy, why didn't you think that you would rather die than give in?"

"The queen mother is approaching the court and rebelled against the foreign king. Is this the same thing?!"

"Come on, Father Zhong, let me tell you something."

Liu Chang waved his hand, ignoring Zhou Chang's resistance, he hugged him, dragged him to his side, wrapped his arms around his neck, and said seriously: "A few days ago, the widow was drinking outside, and someone wanted to poison him. Murder me. I put Chen Ping in charge of this when I return to the palace."

Liu Chang seriously recounted his previous experience, and then asked earnestly, "If it weren't for me, what would happen to Your Majesty?"

"If I don't take this position, how can you rather die than give in? Can you protect the queen mother? Can you protect King Qi? Can you protect your majesty? What can you do?"

Zhou Chang hesitated for a moment, "Even so, the king should not set such a precedent!"

"So, the widow has rebelled. If Father Zhong wants to scold, just scold him. I didn't set a precedent. I just rebelled. In the future, some people will follow my example, and they will be executed. Which dynasty will not have such a rebellion as the widow? What about the thief?"

Liu Chang grinned, but Zhou Chang was speechless for a long time.

"I have never said these words to anyone. I told Father Zhong today because I wanted Father Zhong to stay and help me. The important ministers who followed my father to found the country were left with you and me these days. Let Wang Tianqi search with all his strength and dismiss several ministers who were at fault, and I can't find anyone to fill their positions."

Zhou Chang frowned, thought for a long time, and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, please allow the minister to retire and return to his hometown. The minister cannot assist the majesty."

Liu Chang sighed, "If that's the case, the widow will not force it."

"Then you can go back. You can settle down in Chang'an."

"only!"

Zhou Chang paid his farewell and was about to leave when Liu Chang suddenly said: "After the widow takes power, Chang'an will be much more prosperous than before. The widow has made up his mind and plans to gather 70 people from Sanhe to build the palace for the widow. Both Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace are really not worthy of my reputation! I am going to follow the example of the palaces of the Seven Kingdoms in the past and build an unprecedented palace!"

"The widow is also preparing to mobilize millions of people in Nanjun, Nanyang, Yingchuan and other places to rebuild Chang'an and incorporate several counties around Chang'an."

Zhou Chang was stunned when he heard it, and then he shouted: "Your Majesty!! How can you abuse the power of the people like this?! Have you forgotten the lesson of Qin's demise?!"

"I haven't forgotten, don't worry, the Widow Council will order, the first step is to send armored soldiers to hunt down all the foxes in the Dahan territory and forbid the people to go fishing."

What Zhou Chang heard was that his scalp was numb, he grabbed Liu Chang's hand violently, and said irritably: "If the Huns are newly defeated, it is time to fully restore the power of the people. The king should exercise benevolent governance and reduce the tax burden. How can you focus on building the palace and the city if you pay attention to Nongsang?!”

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Well, since Duke Zhou said so, then the widow will not cultivate for the time being."

"It's okay, you go back!"

"only"

Zhou Chang said, salutes again and prepares to say goodbye.

"However, don't go to Tang, Yan, and Longxi areas. The few people are planning to completely wipe out the Wusun and Xiongnu. They may have to recruit all the people in these areas and use a million troops."

"Your Majesty!!"

"If Your Majesty does this, by next year, there will be famines everywhere, and the people will not be able to survive!"

"Oh? That's it, okay, let's not fight for the time being."

"It's okay, Duke Zhou, you can go back with confidence!"

Zhou Chang hesitated for a moment, then sat down again, "Your Majesty has just come to the temple, and many of the reasons are still unclear. Let me stay and assist the Majesty for the time being."

Liu Chang was shocked, "Could it be that Duke Zhou can't trust the widow?!"

He patted his chest and said righteously, "Don't worry, Duke Zhou! Don't you know what kind of king the widow is? The widow is so wise, he must be able to rule the big man well! The widow is by no means a cruel and cowardly king!"

Hearing this sentence, Zhou Chang's face suddenly became firm, "I have decided, let's stay."

After Zhou Chang left, Liu Chang grinned, this old man was too kind, he really cared about the world, and his words forced him to dare not leave.After sending Zhou Chang away, Liu Chang met with the rest of the ministers.

Guan Ying was also the first minister to fall to Liu Chang's side. Hearing that Liu Chang wanted him to go to Changsha, Guan Ying was not dissatisfied.

"There is a prime minister like you. My sixth brother is too honest. Nanyue has not returned the territory. After you pass, you can intimidate Nanyue. King Wu is trustworthy. You can unite with him and come together. Don't be polite to Nanyue, and clean up if you don't obey! The widow will send you [-] chariots and rides, so that the Nanyue gang can see what the founding generals are!"

Guan Ying laughed, "Wei!"

"Your son Guan A, the widow is going to be placed in the Shaofu to assist Chen Ping in his work. Don't worry, I will take good care of him!"

There are many reasons why these meritorious deputies do not oppose Liu Chang. Liu Chang has the ability, prestige, and military merit, and is suitable in all aspects. The most important thing is that he has a very good relationship with the second generation of honorable people. Their relationship Most of the sons are Liu Chang's confidants. They have been playing with Liu Chang since childhood. They are already old, so what should they do against Liu Chang?The higher the status of Liu Chang, the higher the status of their children.

Afterwards, Chang Liu met with several important officials, all of whom comforted them and talked about their children. They also hurriedly expressed their respect.

When Liu Chang met with Fan Kuai, things started to go wrong.

"Cough, uncle. Are you all right?"

"uncle??"

"Yuezhang!"

"Yue Zhang??"

"You brat!! Grab my beloved daughter!!" Fan Kuai stepped forward angrily, and Liu Chang hurriedly avoided, "You can't blame me! I'm afraid that Qing will not be happy!"

Fan Kuai quickly caught up with Liu Chang, and the two immediately fought each other. The attendants watched the two strong men scuffle together and didn't know what to do. The two fought for a long time before they sat down out of breath. Fan Kuai seemed to just come to fight Liu Chang. He hadn't done anything for a long time. He rubbed his dark blue eyes and cursed, "Shuzi! Do you really dare to fight back?!"

"If you hit me, of course I will fight back!"

Liu Chang rubbed his cheeks, but Fan Kuai laughed loudly, "Okay, have fun!"

"Qing, I will entrust it to you. Shuzi, if you dare to let her shed a tear, I will not spare you!"

"Don't worry, I won't do anything with her."

Fan Kuai sat on the ground, "I'm old, and I can't help you. However, I will pay more attention to the ministers in the court."

"No problem. I have seen all the ministers in the DPRK. I don't think they have any other ideas."

"Only General Xiahou, I sent someone to call him, and he didn't want to come."

"Xiahouying. He's a man of truth. Regardless of his personal relationship, don't worry, I'll go see him."
