Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 654 Joy and anger are not visible in color, but in fists and feet
State of Zhao, outside Handan City.

Liu Ruyi looked helplessly into the distance, Yuan An stood beside him with a complicated expression, and the two quietly waited for the envoy from Chang'an.

"Hey, these ministers in the temple actually took advantage of my eldest brother's absence to frame me, saying that I minted coins privately, hid armor, and raised the dead to make me die!!"

Liu Ruyi gritted his teeth, with some fear on his face, he looked at Yuan An beside him, "I don't want to go to Chang'an in a prison car, you have to find a way."

Yuan An looked at Liu Ruyi very calmly, and did not rush to speak.

This time, His Royal Highness used the king to suppress the courtiers. In fact, it was nothing. Originally, one of the main functions of the king was to suppress the courtiers. But the problem is that this battle is a bit unbearable. Under the leadership of Chao Cuo, the officials were also forced to form a coalition. They launched a counterattack and convicted several princes and kings. The crime of King Liang was licentiousness. Day hangs out with beautiful concubines, does not manage state affairs, indulges in female sex, and thinks that his virtue is not worthy of serving the country.

King Yan's crime was hoarding heavy troops, but he didn't know what he meant.

This actually means that the king of Yan is rebelling, and the king of Yan is also very angry about this. The country of Yan is so big, why don't you recruit soldiers to guard the gate for me? ? ?
King Yan has a very hot temper. After learning that he was impeached, he immediately stated that he would drive to Chang'an in person and would never accept the investigation of the officials. He asked the officials to come and tell him about the impeachment in person.

The King of Jiaodong and the State of Wu were charged with the crime of using troops privately, which is still the same old style. Only King Qi and a few other princes and kings who did not participate in this incident survived. It is worth mentioning that Liu Xiang, King of Hexi, followed Liu Chang to fight , and his prime minister, Liu Jing, angered the officials in the temple because he agreed with several other princes and kings. As a result, the king of Hexi, who was poisoned far away, was convicted, saying that he didn't care about the king's affairs. Tens of thousands of soldiers in the country, unexpectedly Bringing thousands of people to follow His Majesty on the expedition is obviously a suspicion of lack of strength.

Among them, Liu Ruyi has the most accusations of minting currency privately, hiding armor, and raising dead soldiers.

These are just the means used by the officials to deal with the princes and kings, and it is not necessary to punish them, but just to make them less involved in the temple. Only Yan Wang with such a violent temper would want to drive directly to Chang'an to prove his innocence .

It is said that they sent people to investigate them, but in fact they just wanted to delay their time so that they could no longer dictate what happened in the temple.

Therefore, all countries disapproved of those who came to investigate, but King Zhao was different.

After all, other princes and kings may have been framed, but Liu Ruyi, he really has these behaviors.
Yuan Ang was not surprised by this, it was the normal operation of his king.

Liu Ruyi didn't mint coins privately, he didn't have the guts, but, this guy reclaimed the private copper coins and refurbished them. The main reason is that the coins issued by Liu Changxin became more and more popular. Those copper coins in the past didn't have much effect. Shooting, thinking about it, I felt that these old coins should not be wasted like this, so I decided to recycle, recast and refurbish them on my own initiative. As for the armor, it is even more outrageous. According to Liu Ruyi's own statement, His Majesty is going to go to war , so he had to prepare more armor and send it to his younger brother. Then he frantically collected armor. In order to ensure the safety of his younger brother, he also adopted a lot of people, taught them, and wanted these people to serve as his own soldiers, and gave him his life. protect brother
The courtiers may not know these things, they just randomly charged them with a crime.

The other princes and kings are not afraid of people coming to investigate at all, they are all planted anyway.

But Liu Ruyi was afraid.

He looked at Yuan Ang bitterly, "If I knew it earlier, I didn't want to make up the whole number, so I just sent it to my eldest brother. Now it's good, I can't even tell the reason. You said that if I tell the other party now that these armors are ready to give away For the eldest brother, will he believe it?"

Yuan Ang licked his lips, wanting to say something.

But he is a man of culture and cannot utter bad words.

"Your Majesty, you can't collect armor at any time. Even if you gave it to Your Majesty before, the officials will definitely punish you. They don't care about what you do with the armor, what they care about is that you have such thoughts and ideas. Strength. Also, why do you think that the people you cultivated can be braver than those Langzhong? There are Langzhong to protect His Majesty, why should you do it? Forget it, Your Majesty, don’t think about it.”

In the past few years since Yuan An came to Zhao, he has gotten used to the operation of the king.

Anyway, he has completely given up resistance.

Just be what you love.

I can't persuade you.

Zhao Wang can't be said to be stupid, he really managed the Zhao country well, and now the Zhao country is developing quite well, and the officials he uses are also very good people, but there is one thing, in terms of politics, how should I put it, the world government It's only one stone, and Ruyi owes eight buckets.Zhao Wang really lacks political sense. No, he simply doesn’t have this thing. He can make some very dangerous moves every time. Said it was inherited from the birth mother
Yuan Ang also figured it out. Anyway, following Zhao Wang, death is a matter of time, and it doesn't matter if it comes sooner or later.

Liu Ruyi saw Yuan An's despair, and said helplessly: "When I do things again in the future, I will definitely conspire with you beforehand!"

"you"

While the two were talking, some cavalry rushed over.

"Your Majesty! The envoys have returned. It is said that His Majesty returned to Chang'an and ordered the envoys to return."

At that moment, Liu Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and almost fell to the ground.

He looked at Yuan An with a smile, "Great! The messenger is not coming! Our lives are saved!"

There was no trace of happiness on Yuan An's face, he just nodded numbly.

Liu Ruyi became a little anxious again.

"But why did the eldest brother come back so quickly? He has already returned before I sent these armors. Then I collected them for nothing?? I still want to give them to him."

"My lord, transport the armor to your own royal tomb as soon as possible. Don't let too many people know about it. This matter is really fatal. If anyone in the temple finds out about this matter, you will be in a prison car It has to be dealt with asap!"

Liu Ruyi frowned and shook her head resolutely.

"No."

"More than 7000 sets of armor. Followed me into the soil, that's really wronged them. How can I deserve them? It's not easy for the eldest brother to govern the big man. From the poor at the beginning, he has developed step by step to the present. It can't be just because he is rich now. Waste. Even if I was caught and beheaded by the officials, I would definitely not do such a thing that wasted my eldest brother's effort. Prepare a letter for the widow. The widow must inform the eldest brother of these things and let him use the armor where it should be used. .”

Yuan Ang was a little surprised, looking at the man with an extremely resolute face, he seemed to understand why the king didn't receive any strict punishment every time he committed a crime.

Yuan Ang asked tentatively: "Isn't the king afraid of being executed for this?"

Liu Ruyi raised her head high-spirited.

"Among Emperor Gao's heirs, how can anyone be greedy for life and afraid of death???"

Chang'an at this moment is bustling because of the imperial court meeting.

The ministers looked a little complacent.

When Liu Chang had just left the temple, they were very happy, because compared to Liu Chang, Liu An was obviously better at speaking, he was a reasonable person, and he was reasonable in everything he did. He will find loopholes in language or system to play a rogue, unlike Liu Chang, who is purely a rogue character of a villain, and does not make sense. If you say you are wrong, you are wrong, and you will not give a reason. If you ask the reason, you will beat him up. If you ask again, you will lose Tingwei, if you ask again, you will go to Longxi, and you can go all the way to Xia Guo.

Liu An still followed the rules in doing things, following the set of officials and the emperor, and the two sides fought back and forth.

But gradually, they discovered something was wrong.

Although Liu An is reasonable, it seems that His Majesty speaks better.

When His Majesty is doing things, if the officials object, he can still listen to what the officials have to say. If he himself feels that something is wrong, he will hurriedly change the implementation of the policy, but Liu An is different, he will not change his mind at all, even Flattery and kind words are of no use to him, and he is not as coaxing as His Majesty at all.

Your Majesty can beat people, but as long as you say a few nice words, His Majesty is easy to coax. Your Highness is different. Your Highness doesn’t care about these things at all. Good or bad words are useless. If you decide to do something, just keep doing it. do not change.

Moreover, his thinking is obviously more radical. Although His Majesty is always eager to see the results when doing things, he still takes it step by step. His Highness is fortunate enough to directly propose many policies that seem to be whimsical to the officials without any prelude , fire directly.

By this time, the officials began to miss Liu Chang.

If His Majesty was still here, things wouldn't be like this, would they?

Seeing His Royal Highness banning the place of origin, allowing women to study and become officials, blowing up the city walls, and reusing those mud legs, the hearts of the ministers are indescribably painful. Your Majesty, where are you? ? ?
Now, His Majesty is back, and the ministers are extremely happy. The chaos of His Majesty must be coming to an end, right? ?
Everything should be back to normal, right?
The officials stood happily outside the palace, congratulating each other. The Taiwei and the others are still on the road, after all, the land route is farther away. Zhang Buyi did not come back from the northwest. Zhang Cang, who is currently in command of the officials, At the moment, it seems that he is not willing to deal with the ministers around him. Zhang Xiang has always been like this. He is definitely the most representative official of the big man. He can do less and never do more. , all the year round, Zhang Xiang has maintained a very comfortable state of mind to handle affairs, living more chicly than anyone else.

Of course, although Zhang Xiang doesn't like to do things, his ability is definitely the peak of a big man. If you make an attribute table, then the political attributes of the other ministers are in their early eighties, his should be 99, and Marquis Feng is a hundred. Working in Liu An During the era, he didn't do anything, but he just developed the big man's agriculture with peace of mind, and proceeded unhurriedly. By the way, he had a few children, and Liu Chang couldn't force Zhang Cang to do things, let alone Liu Chang. Ann, Zhang Cang is also a person who does not follow the rules.

Chao Cuo didn't come either, according to His Majesty's edict, he had to lie at home for two days before he could come to work.

A few ministers, such as Luan Bu, remained calm at the moment.

Luan Bu squinted his eyes, looking at the officials with disdain.

As Liu Chang's family friend for many years, Luan Bu is very familiar with him.

What kind of person is His Majesty, you want to use him to deal with His Majesty? ?Thinking about it too much, the biggest possibility of this court meeting is that His Majesty stands up for His Highness, and cleans up those young people.

Luan Bu could see clearly, but didn't say anything.

Among the ministers, there is also Wang Tianqi who remains calm. Wang Tianqi stands among the ministers without showing any signs of leakage, but his face is quite calm, and his heart is calm. If he thinks about it, he has already seen the true purpose of the court meeting. The representative of the grass on the wall, Wang Tianqi was the first Jiuqing to pay homage to His Royal Highness at the wharf. After Liu An started to officially handle affairs, Wang Tianqi was the first to show his loyalty, and then he was reused by Liu An, and he followed Liu An all day. Around him, the momentum even surpassed the rest of Jiuqing.

Of course, this caused strong dissatisfaction among the officials, but the officials had long been accustomed to this style of work and did not use it to deal with him.

At this moment, after His Majesty came back, Wang Tianqi seemed to stop visiting His Highness again.

The door of the palace was slowly opened, and the officials walked in with great strides led by Zhang Xiang.

When they entered the Hall of Proclamation, Liu Chang had already sat in the upper position, and the prince sat beside him. Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the emperor, because Liu Chang was actually sitting on a bearded chair at the moment. It looks extraordinarily tall and mighty. The whole chair is made of gold, with various carvings on it. Even the armrests are two lions with their heads raised and roaring. The texture is exquisite and golden. All the officials are stunned. Landing, looking at His Majesty's flamboyant and gorgeous bearded chair.

"Your Majesty, it is inappropriate to sit on this chair when discussing major issues in the temple."

Mao Chang, who was in charge of temple etiquette, couldn't help but speak.

Liu Chang didn't even look at him, but said proudly: "I was poisoned in the battle and ended the battle. The Peacock King is extremely grateful to me, and he can't repay me, so he specially dedicated this golden throne. This is the former Peacock Emperor Ashoka King. It is said that he defeated many enemies and melted their crowns, that is, crowns, and the people there like gold crowns and helmets."

The officials immediately understood, oh, it turned out that it was snatched from the peacock.

Although Mao Chang was afraid, he came forward and said: "Your Majesty, this belongs to the foreign king. It is really inappropriate for you to use it as a throne. King Ashoka is a poisonous king. Why should you sit on his throne? It is so impolite , Your Majesty is not a barbarian, let alone inheriting the throne of a barbarian, what your Majesty inherits is the position of Son of Heaven, which was bestowed by Emperor Gao."

Liu Chang finally couldn't bear it anymore, Nai Gong just took it out to show off, why are you talking too much?
He said displeasedly: "I knew you people would say this, so... I also melted Ashoka's own crown, and added it to this throne, so that it is not an inheritance, but a conquest!!"

Mao Chang opened his mouth again, but Liu Chang yelled suddenly: "Come here! Take this fellow to me! Lock him up in Ting Wei prison!!"

Immediately, a soldier dragged Mao Chang away from here, and Mao Chang woke up. The person in charge now is His Majesty, the one who didn't follow the rules.

Liu Chang looked angrily at the other ministers, and slowly asked: "After I left Chang'an, did any major incidents happen in Chang'an?"

At this moment, the officials were surprisingly silent.

Unlike the excitement just now, they all looked a little worried at the moment.

Liu Chang has never been a person who does not show his emotions and anger. His emotions are not only shown in his colors, but also in his fists, feet, sticks and so on.
The officials can tell whether he is happy or not, and just now he treated Mao Chang so impatiently, which shows that Liu Chang is definitely not in a good mood at the moment. Under the support of the tall Hu chair, Liu Chang's figure seemed to be even larger, full of oppression, like a giant, looking down on them, the officials were already terrified, and they dared not say anything, just lowered their heads.

"Your Majesty, nothing major happened, everything is fine"

"Yes, yes, everything is fine!"

"Is everything ok???"

Liu Chang's eyes widened suddenly, he hit his armrest suddenly, and roared: "I have only been out for more than two years, and the five princes and kings have all been convicted by you. The King of Hexi was unfaithful and even said that the King of Zhao was going to rebel?? Is this not a big deal? Then what is a big deal? Is it a big deal that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were dragged out and killed?!!"

Following Liu Chang's rage, the doctors standing inside and outside the hall suddenly changed their bodies, and the spears in their hands were superimposed, directly blocking the exit. At the same time, the outside doctors began to gather quickly, even if they were standing inside the hall, They could all hear the armor waving outside, and the sound of ordnance colliding together. This sound made all the officials shudder, and they hurriedly bowed and knelt down.

"Your Majesty! This is all done by the imperial historian!"

"We really can't persuade him!"

In line with the principle of selling out whoever is not around, everyone simply betrayed Chao Cuo, since they didn't like Chao Cuo anyway.

Liu Chang sneered, and looked at the many ministers in front of him one by one, "I'm not that scumbag, I'm not the one you just push out someone to settle the matter. The princes and kings are loyal and guard the Quartet for me, and I will suffer from you." Such slander, my brothers, don’t I know who they are? All kinds of crimes are kowtowed on people’s heads, even the charge of treason. I think you just want the princes to rebel. You are forcing Seeing my brothers rebel?! Isn’t it?!”

The officials were trembling, not daring to say a word, their eyes full of fear.

Liu An, who had been silent all this time, looked at the trembling officials without the slightest surprise in his eyes.

When I was preparing to do something, many diners came to persuade me, even the family members came to persuade me.

Let yourself think about the consequences, don't be reckless, don't be so aggressive.

So what if Naigong is radical?
My father, Han Zhou, coughed and coughed harshly, the emperor of Han, what do you dare to do? !
Liu An was full of courage and raised his head high.

When his father was sitting beside him, he only felt that he was not afraid of anything, even if Tai Yi came, he would dare to draw out his sword and slash at him because his father was a majestic mountain, supporting everything.
