In the spacious and solemn Proclamation Hall, ministers of civil and military affairs stood in two rows according to their ranks.The atmosphere was quiet and solemn, and all the officials of the aristocratic family stood in their positions with lowered eyebrows and lowered their eyes, silently.The empress dowager's first court meeting after her visit began in such a gloomy and depressing atmosphere.

The stone steps of Youlong Tuanyun go up step by step, and the highest point is Liu Che who is as tall as a god.Twelve bead curtains stood in front of her, and no one could clearly see the unfathomable face behind the curtains.

After a while, Liu Che said slowly, "Huainan Prince Liu An!"

"The minister is here!" Liu An stepped forward and bowed.

Looking at Liu An's straightened figure, Liu Che smiled coldly. "The King of Huainan wants to come here to observe the rules and observe the etiquette. Why, don't you remember how to salute according to the ancestor's rules about how to greet the Holy Majesty?"

"I don't dare!" Liu An said, and immediately bowed and bowed, and said with great respect: "Your Majesty, Liu An, the king of Huainan, bows to His Majesty. Long live my emperor."

Liu Che didn't mention it, but threw an account book from his sleeve to Liu An, and said in a deep voice, "Can the King of Huainan explain this?"

Liu An looked at the account book in front of him, and his heart tightened suddenly.

"En?" Liu Che raised his voice and urged.

"Return to Your Majesty, I don't know." The matter has come to this point, Liu An can only bite the bullet and say that he doesn't know.

"You don't know?" Liu Che asked indifferently.Staring straight at Liu An, he waved his hand casually.The chief eunuch Chuntuo bowed and retreated winkingly.After a while, he led a group of guards and tied up a group of dead men in night clothes into the hall.Followed by Liu Ling and Lei Bei.

"My daughter Liu Ling, Cao Minlei was kowtowed to Your Majesty." Liu Ling bowed and kowtowed.

"Get up!" Liu Che said calmly.

The two clasped their heads again, straightened up, and stood with eyes, nose, mouth, mouth and heart.

"The king of Huainan said he doesn't know anything, so tell him about it!" Liu Che said calmly.Hearing the words, the princes and officials below could not help but look at each other, wondering what kind of medicine Liu Che was selling in this gourd.

"No!" Liu Ling and the two agreed.Liu Ling first took out an account book from his sleeve, and said slowly: "This is the account book for bribing officials of all sizes in Beijing according to the instructions of King Huainan since I first entered Chang'an three years ago..."

As he spoke, he listed the names and expenses of the officials he had previously bought.Before he could say a few words, he was interrupted by Huainan Wang angrily. "What a black hearted girl, I have loved you for nothing for so many years. I don't know who ordered you to slander me—"

"Huainan Wang Shuqing is self-clearing, why bother with other people's words?" Liu Che sat on the dragon chair with his back straight, stretched out his arm and lifted it up, motioning Liu Ling: "Continue talking!"

"Promise!" Liu Ling bowed, and continued: "On a certain day in a certain year, I will send a thousand taels of gold to the Nanying Weiwei in the capital, and twenty beautiful maidservants. On a certain day in a certain year..."

It took more than half an hour to finish reading an account book, and took a step back a little later, and Lei Kui stepped forward and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Liu An, the king of Huainan, is recruiting customers and recruiting troops in his fief. Knowing that there is King Huainan but not the imperial court. He also intentionally cultivated dead men, and the team that came to Chang'an this time had [-] dead men hiding and accompanying them. It was just to wait for the opportunity and plan to make trouble."

"Blood spouting people." Huainan Wang yelled angrily, turned over and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please be clear. These two people, one is a femme fatale with a wolfish heart and no long-term kindness, and the other is resentful and trying to murder Huainan Wang's son Liu Qian The tourists are not of high moral character. They framed Xiao Wang indiscriminately this time, and they were definitely instructed by others."

"Oh?" Liu Che turned sideways, and asked leisurely: "Liu Ling has a vicious heart and a deep scheming heart, and Lei was full of resentment, and they all framed you."

"Your Majesty, please be aware of the details." Liu An kowtowed again.

"Okay! Since they don't count what they said. Then your own grandson's words are accurate?" Liu Che asked again with great interest.

"Your Majesty—" Liu An was a little dazed for a moment, not knowing what Liu Che meant by this.

"Come here, take Liu Jian to the hall." Liu Che said coldly.

Chun Tuo immediately raised his voice and sang: "Your Majesty has a decree to announce Liu Jian's audience..."

The little yellow gate outside sang down layer by layer, and after a while, the young man who was not yet crowned only went to the temple, knelt down to worship the mountain and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"It was you who reported that Liu An, the king of Huainan, intended to conspire against him. Do you have the heart of disobedience?" Liu Che coughed lightly and asked leisurely.

"Report to Your Majesty. The person who attempted to commit treason and offend His Majesty was Liu Qian, the eldest son of Prince Huainan, and he had nothing to do with his grandfather!" Liu Jian kowtowed and answered.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.Officials in the DPRK and China looked sideways at Liu An no matter what their position was.What's more, he laughed openly.Tiao Hou Zhou Yafu laughed harshly: "No wonder ordinary people say that scholars rebel and fail to succeed in ten years. With such fucking children and grandchildren, they still think about something rebellious, so they can obediently hide by the bedside and nurse."

"You—" Liu An turned and glared at Zhou Yafu.

"Why?" Zhou Yafu's eyes that looked like copper bells stared suddenly, and said in a rough voice: "Is the urination that I made by myself not good enough for others to say?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister is really wronged!" Liu An said bitterly.

Liu Che waved his hand casually: "Whether I was wronged or not, we will know when I send someone to investigate."

After finishing speaking, he did not allow others to comment, stood up and said, "Retire!"

Only Liu An was left paralyzed on the ground.If His Majesty is really moved, even if the person sent there comes back without missing anything, he will still say that there are witnesses and evidence gathered.But the rest of the kings saw it and became more and more uneasy.

After about a month and a half, the imperial envoy Liu Che sent to Huainan reversed course, and they indeed listed a long list of incriminating evidence.They even searched out from Liu An's home the offensive and war equipment prepared to be used for rebellion, and the forged jade seal and gold seal used to commit fraud. 】Seeing this, Liu Che was furious.He scolded Liu An all over his head and face, but before he could get away with it, he only listened to the little Huang door who was waiting beside Liu An. Seeing that something was wrong, Liu An committed suicide in the mansion.Liu An's death didn't matter, and another Hengshan King Liu Ci was involved. He felt that he was in collusion with Liu An on weekdays, and thought that since Liu Che had an attack on Liu An, he couldn't tolerate him in a short time. hanging.

It was just a funeral, and two marquises died in succession.Seeing this, all the princes of the Liu family felt more and more sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox.The private actions are also intimate.Liu Che saw everything in his eyes and didn't say much. He just took advantage of the hidden guards and ordered the officials to roll his name at the second court meeting. After that, he read several books. Matters considered private, and the conversations in Beijing and China in the past few days.The princes and princes who watched were even more frightened, and they didn't even have the slightest thought of committing chaos.

Liu Che used this as an excuse to slap soldiers stationed in various fiefs, beat the princes and kings several times, and did not release all the princes back to the fiefs until June, when the flowers were blooming everywhere.

Everyone originally thought that the emperor would be able to rest for a few days this time, but not long after that, there was another bolt from the blue in the harem—Your Majesty, you want to abolish the empress!
