Spicy rivers and lakes!

Chang'an City, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Dou Ying is also going crazy.

"That's Heshuo," Dou Ying said, "it's not the back garden of a big man!"

Guan Fu said: "Prime Minister, let's say Liu Zhuo is dead! If you act rashly, there will be a war between the Han and the Hungarians, and it will be over!"

"No," Dou Ying said, "The imperial court dare not move, but the Jianghu dare. If the people of the Jianghu kidnap Liu Zhuo and let the Queen Mother find out, will I still be alive?"

Guan Fu: "Then what should I do?"

"That friend of yours," said Dou Ying, "Guo Xie, is he in Chang'an?"

Guan Fu understood what he meant, and said, "Do you want people from the Jianghu to intervene? Prime Minister, it is a death penalty for people from the Jianghu to interfere in royal affairs."

"I know," Dou Ying said in a frenzy, "Then what do you want me to do? What else can I do? This Liu Zhuo, why did he come to Heshuo!"

Guan Fu: "I don't know either."

Guan Fu is a reckless man, of course Dou Ying knows that he doesn't know, Dou Ying's own mind is like a mirror, they were all put together by Ning and Chen, now except for Ning and Chen, everyone is passive.But there is no way.After the queen mother lost her youngest son, she really wanted to have a sustenance.But Emperor Jing had dozens of sons, all of whom were too unhappy, and the Empress Dowager missed him.At this time, it's not just the queen mother who wants Li Dongqing alone?The princes, the people of the rivers and lakes, and the Huns, which one is vegetarian?

Guan Fu asked, "The Empress Dowager really wants to bring Liu Zhuo back, and abolish the Emperor?"

"No," Dou Ying said, "her thinking is similar to that of the eldest princess. There is no one among the princes and kings who can trust her. I think she has a small heart to dethrone the emperor and a big heart to threaten the emperor. She just wants to make the emperor more obedient. .”

"Ha," Guan Fu said, "then Liu Zhuo, a boy, after a hundred years from the Empress Dowager, won't he be sure to die?"

Dou Ying was silent for a while, then said: "Take the money and go to Guo Xie, let him go to the experts, and withdraw those people from Yanmen, don't just wait around, let them go to Heshuo, and pick Liu Zhuo up." Come out. Ning and Chen will kill me immediately!"

Guan Fu took a thousand pieces of gold to go to Guo Xie, but Guo Xie said, "I can't beat you."

"I gave you the money, but you still can't beat it?" Guan Fu asked.

"If you can't beat it, you can't beat it," Guo Xie said, "Who do you think Ning and Chen are?"

Guan Fu: "You are the number one swordsman."

Guo Xie: "Ning Hechen is still the number one master! Master means stronger than a swordsman, a head above me, no one can beat Ning Hechen, you don't have enough money."

"How much do you want?"

"Give me [-] gold," Guo Jie said, "I'll go find someone from Xiaoyue Clan for you, and Lei Bei still owes me a favor, but he's in Huainan recently and won't be back for a while."

Guan Fu said: "Xiao Yueshi has already been defeated by Ning Hechen, and 32 singers have died."

"Oh," Guo Jie said, "That's over, I can't beat it."

Guan Fu: "...then what should we do?"

Guo Xie: "Do you want to kill him, or capture him alive?"

"It's fine to kill, but he has a young man in his hand, and he wants to save this young man's life."

"It can't be done," Guo Xie said. "Ning and Chen are so smart. If you snatch it from him, can he destroy it first? If you only want Ning and Chen's life, this It's easier, but there's no guarantee."

Guan Fu thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's okay."

"Then I can give it a try," Guo Xie said. "If you want to die, it's cheaper, five thousand gold. I'll go to Jumeng and let him try it. But I really don't care about that young man's life."

"Ju Meng?!" Guan Fu said, "Ju Meng under General Zhou Yafu? Is he still alive?"

Guo Xie: "Let the prime minister prepare money."

Chang'an City, the front side hall.

Taiwei Tian Fu knelt in front of the hall.

Tian Fu said: "The King of Huainan wrote a book called "Hong Lie". ", let the ministers circulate it for study, and let the ministers send you a copy."

Liu Che was sitting on the throne, eating melon, scratched his eyebrows and said, "Bring it up."

Tian Fu brought up the letter, Liu Che flipped through it twice, saw that he was still down, and asked, "What else do you need?"

Tian Fu said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager asked you to read it carefully, and tell her tomorrow what is well written."

Liu Che said: "Aren't I just watching? What's the rush?"

"What I mean is," Tian Fu said boldly, "nephew, the Empress Dowager really doesn't like Confucianism. Let's put your stuff aside. That Dong Zhongshu..."

"I haven't let it go yet?" Liu Che said, "I've already let it go, how can I let it go, don't say any more."

Tian Fu was about to retreat, but suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, there is one more thing."

Liu Che said casually, "If you fart, let it go."

"Do you still remember that Liu Zhuo that the Empress Dowager was looking for a while ago?" Tian Fu asked.

"Remember," Liu Che said, "you found it?"

Tian Fu: "It is said that it fell into the hands of the Huns, near Heshuo. The Empress Dowager wanted to get him back... She always felt that she owed Liu Rong, and she probably had feelings for this child, Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Liu Che: "I can't stop it, let her find it, and you can help find it too, oh that's all, you call Han Anguo, I will tell him."

"...but the emperor." Tian Fu hesitated to speak.

Liu Che said: "It's okay, that's my nephew too, let the Taiwei go."

"No." Tian Fu knelt and retreated.

Since Gaozu, the highest official positions in the Han Dynasty were the three princes: the prime minister, the Taiwei, and the royal doctor.The Taiwei is in charge of military power, the imperial doctor is in charge of personnel affairs, and the prime minister is the chief assistant.After Liu Che succeeded to the throne, the prime minister was Dou Ying, the nephew of Empress Dowager Dou, and the Taiwei was Tian Fu, the younger brother of Empress Wang. In fact, there is no military power in the hands of the lieutenant, and the military power is in the hands of the queen mother.Without soldiers, there is no power, and the emperor's every move can only be restricted.

When the emperor first succeeded to the throne, he also had the ambition to change the past and make a new one, because the princes and kings had their own fiefdoms and still stayed in Chang'an. Dong Zhongshu proposed three strategies for heaven and man, and mentioned that the princes and kings should return to their respective lands. In the fief, this made the princes and kings dissatisfied.The princes and kings were all veterans of Emperor Jing, so they went directly to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother slapped it, and the matter was stopped.

Liu Che's decision-making suppressed by the Empress Dowager in the past few years is more than just the three strategies of heaven and man.If you can't do anything, you will be scolded for everything you do.It is also hard work.That's why the queen mother is especially dissatisfied.

Han Anguo came and said, "Your Majesty, you are looking for me."

Liu Che had a headache and said, "Oh, you are here. My uncle Tian Fu said that Liu Zhuo has arrived in Heshuo. How good is that?"

"May I ask the emperor whether he wants him to live or to die?"

Liu Che said irritably, "Of course he is alive! Let him live well and bring him back to Chang'an."

Of course, Han Anguo also thought this way, and said: "Your Majesty is wise, Emperor Jing treated King Wei in the same way. Empress Dowager Dou wanted to touch the crown prince not once or twice, but when Emperor Jing was around, she wanted her youngest son to be the prince. Prince, brother and brother, how did you deal with Emperor Jing? Emperor Jing treated Wei Wang kindly! King Wei entered Chang'an in the first month of the year, and Emperor Jing personally drove a horse for him. All the ministers watched him. Let the ministers shut up the Queen Mother's tongue."

"Now the minister is waiting to see my jokes," Liu Che said while holding his forehead, "it's not what it used to be, that's all, let's bring him back first, so that the old lady won't think that I'm as ruthless as my father."

Liu Che said: "I don't understand. Why doesn't this old lady like our father and son? Her two sons, she likes King Wei, and she has so many grandchildren, but she likes Liu Rong?"

"Your majesty," Han Anguo said, "King Wei is the youngest son of Empress Dowager Dou. And Liu Rong died too unjustly...and the emperor has everything, so she naturally feels that there is no need to love him."

"Forget it," Liu Che said, "forget it! Go get him back quickly, but don't use troops, I'm convinced, what's the matter, that Ning and Chen are so powerful? I sent out four assassins some time ago , all folded."

"The son of Zhidu," Han Anguo said, "not to mention the four assassins, the survivors of the Xiaoyue clan living in the Eastern Ou Kingdom formed a faction of their own and established a mountain gate. 32 singers went in. Even the people from Bude Mountain couldn’t pick up their disciples.”

Han Anguo persuaded again: "But the emperor really doesn't need to worry too much. Your Majesty's sister, Jin Su, has been living among the people for twenty years. When she was found again, she was like a village woman in the mountains. She was the biological daughter of the queen. Even so, what Why talk about a 15-year-old boy? If the queen mother wants to find it, let her find it, and let him see how many crown princes in this world are worthy of being on the stage."

"Whatever you want," Liu Che said, "She doesn't like me anyway, so let her be happy."

Liu Che said: "Anyway, you can figure it out yourself. It's best if you can pick it up. If you can't pick it up, someone will kill it. Don't fall into the hands of the Huns. You know it."

Han Anguo said, "Of course."

Huainan, Huainan Palace.

Liu An, king of Huainan, said, "What should we do?"

Prince Liu Qian said: "My sister has a message from Chang'an, telling us to kill Liu Zhuo!"

Liu An: "This is not easy."

"Lei Bei is my master," Liu Qian said, "Father, don't worry, let him do it."

Liu Qian said again: "Father, you must not be soft-hearted. You are the grandson of the great ancestor Liu Bang. In terms of blood, you are much purer than him. Even if it is the wheel, the throne is not his turn! Liu Zhuo! You forgot What did you say in the book? The way is natural, follow the trend, this is the time has come, it's time for us to do it!"

Liu An: "Boy, is Lei Bei trustworthy?"

Liu Qian: "They are from the Jianghu, as long as they have money, don't they do everything? Father, don't worry."

"Let Lei get a try," Liu An said, "Killing a person is much easier than saving a person. But, don't startle the snake!"

Liu An said, "Father, don't worry!"

In Dragon City, the Da Shan Yu Wang Zhang.

The Yan family of Shanyu, a military minister, is the biological daughter of Queen Wang, Princess Nangong.

Yu Dan said, "Mother, Liu Zhuo has fallen into Yi Zhixie's hands."

Princess Nangong married to the grassland when she was 15 years old, and now she is only in her early thirties. She is very beautiful. At this time, she said: "Yu Dan, Liu Zhuo is my mother's nephew, and you are brothers. My mother knows that you look down on the Han people. But my mother is also a Han Chinese, and without a Han Chinese, there would be no mother and you, so don’t kill her.”

"If you don't kill him, there will be serious trouble," Yu Dan said impulsively when he was still a teenager, "Mother, Yi Zhixie has been dissatisfied with me for a long time, do you want me to die in Yi Zhixie's hands? You only have Han in your heart? "

Princess Nangong said with a smile: "You are stupid, child, I and Liu Zhuo are blood relatives...you saved him, tell me, is he willing to be with Yi Zhixie, or is he willing to recognize his mother and help you brother? "

Yu Dan thought for a moment, sat beside his mother, and said, "Mom, I will do well."

At the same time, the princes and kings of Jiaoxi, Wu, Zhao, Zichuan, Jinan, and Jinbei had their own plans.Since the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, the power of the princes and kings has been greatly weakened, and the remaining prestige is also borrowed from the empress dowager's power. Naturally, the empress dowager is respected, and it is imminent.

People in the Jianghu have another plan, led by Budeshan, Xiaoyueshi, Tunbeihai, etc., to pursue and suppress Ning Hechen and snatch Li Dongqing by the way.

And what is Li Dongqing doing at this time?

Ning Hechen slapped him lightly and said, "Are you drooling?"

Li Dongqing lay on his lap, her hair was a mess, she opened her eyes and wiped her mouth: "Huh?"

Ning Hechen: "What are you pretending to be?"

Pointing to the wet marks on his clothes, he said, "Is this?"

As he spoke, he turned over his hem again, pointed to a dried water stain, and said, "Is this from last night? Why don't you tell me when you're drooling?"

Li Dongqing: "I'll wash it for you!"

It may be because there is only one acquaintance in a strange place. Li Dongqing has been following Ning and Chen for the past two days, with a radius of ten meters. Whenever he sees Ning and Chen sitting there, he will go over there. Looking at him, he lay on Ning and Chen's lap, talking to him.

Li Dongqing is a person who really remembers eating but not beating, and has no memory. When he was at home, it was easy to get close to people.When we first met, he was still a young boy with a backbone, but after getting along for a long time, he was like a skinless puppy.

Ning Hechen said, "Are you boneless?"

Li Dongqing laughed, but was still shameless.Ning and Chen chased him a few times, and when they got bored, they let him go.

Li Dongqing laid her head on his lap and said, "Yi Zhixie asked me again today, so I asked him, what do you want me to do for you?"

"Yi Zhixie said that the princes and kings of the Central Plains wanted to rebel," Li Dongqing said, "the forces had already invaded the grasslands, and sent envoys to join forces with the Huns to fight against the Han. He wanted to wait for the two armies to fight. At that time, taking advantage of the chaos, I have the blood of the Han family, and I can raise the flag to appease the old ministers, and I can also play against the princes and kings."

Ning Hechen said, "Oh."

Li Dongqing looked at him and said, "Where are you going after this?"

Ning Hechen said, "You should first think about how you want to live."

Li Dongqing said: "I don't know, but I think it's hard for me to survive, Ning and Chen, will you remember me?"

Ning Hechen was silent for a moment, and Li Dongqing's expression darkened.

The author has something to say:

The timeline is different from the original history, but it is consistent in major nodes, and the two protagonists are both original characters.

In the two parallel worlds, the characters in the court and their official positions are all real, while in the rivers and lakes, (except for the ranger Guo Jie, Lei Bei, and Ju Meng) are all fictional.
