Han Shizu

Chapter 1042
In the process of the great Han conquering the world, the people of Tokyo have already experienced a lot.From Gao Baorong to Zhou Xingfeng, from Meng Chang to Liu Yan, therefore, when Li Yu, the lord of Jiangnan, was "escorted" to Kaifeng, it did not cause much sensation.

It's also because Liu Yu not long ago, the people in Tokyo inevitably felt a little tired of aesthetics, and everyone is used to it.Of course, discussions among the market are still indispensable. The people in Tokyo have truly seen the achievements of the imperial court Pingnan, and they all feel that the world is unified and it should be taken for granted.

The younger generation is immersed in the admiration and yearning for the achievements of the imperial court. The older generation, especially those middle-aged and elderly people who have experienced the troubled times of the previous generation and witnessed the process from the establishment of the great Han to the unification of the world, feel deeply. Many, they are not only happy for the reunification of the country, but also look forward to the real long-term peace in the world, and yearn for a new round of peace and prosperity.

Compared with Liu Yu, Li Yu was obviously luckier, and received better treatment. He was not imprisoned in a prison car like a criminal, paraded through the streets for people to watch, and he retained the last bit of decency.

From a warm and comfortable luxury car to the Han Palace, Dong Chun, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, received him with a modest attitude.At the same time, Li Yu also passively learned about Liu Yu's situation.

It only took one day for the disposition of Liu Yu to come out. Although there were many people participating in the discussion and expressing their opinions, the efficiency was surprisingly high.Among the officials, most of them expressed contempt for Liu Yu and felt that they should not be treated favorably. Similarly, they did not bluntly say that he should be killed.

Most people think that all the shamans and treacherous men who messed up the government and harmed the people were punished by Ming Zhengdian, which is enough to relieve the people's resentment. Liu Yu is a mediocre person, so there is no need to treat him too harshly, just raise him in Tokyo.

A small number of people even defended Liu Wei, saying that the chaos in Lingnan’s state affairs started from his father Liu Sheng, which disrupted the root system and ruined the atmosphere. Admonish Emperor Liu to take it as a commandment, set an example for the world, strengthen the patriarchal clan, establish an unchangeable system, and pass it on to future generations to avoid future troubles.

Although this is a pedantic theory of a small number of people, when it fell into the ears of Emperor Liu, it still aroused his thinking. Of course, he was not planning to establish an eternal system, but the reason why these people made such remarks .

In the final analysis, what Liu Yan is most criticized and criticized is the act of killing his flesh and blood brothers, just like his father, killing them all.Liu Sheng will also find some reasons to cut them off gradually over ten years. Liu Yu is even more direct. As soon as he came to power, he clearly proposed to follow the example of his father and kill all his brothers.Although it was indeed suggested by those people to dump the blame on Gong Chengshu and other eunuchs, but being able to be ruthless is definitely not something that can be explained by "doing nothing more".

During the conversation with Liu Fang, Liu Chengyou also asked his opinion on how to deal with Liu Fang. Liu Fang's attitude was very clear, he should be killed.The reason is the three rules, one is to slaughter the younger brother, the second is to disrupt the country, and the third is to kill the virtuous.

Interestingly, some people selected from among the scholars and people in Lingnan had roughly the same opinion. They felt that all the traitors who brought disaster to the country and the people were killed, and Lingnan was under the rule of the imperial court. up.

Later, Liu Chengyou found out that someone taught these people to say so, or restrained them from saying so, but the person behind the scenes was Kaifeng Yin Gaofang who was in charge of arranging the matter. It was not a conspiracy, but Gao Fang confessed to Liu Chengyou It is said that there is a difference in respect and inferiority, and that there is a difference in rank. How can it be possible for a group of Guizhou leaders to discuss the life and death of the lord, and directly remonstrate that it is inappropriate for Emperor Liu to let the officials and the people discuss the matter.

For Gao Fang, Emperor Liu has always trusted him, and he did not offend Gao Fang for being able to speak out. Instead, he expressed his appreciation and admitted to him that it was ill-considered.Well, it also depends on the person. For so many years, many speech officials have been dismissed. Emperor Liu's openness of speech and humility to accept advice also has a limit. Open-mindedness does not mean connivance.

Based on the opinions of all parties, the conclusion reached was to bypass Liu Yan's life and raise him in the capital.Because the words came first, Liu Chengyou accepted it.

In fact, in Liu Chengyou's heart, Liu Yu's life and death really didn't matter, but in his heart, he still didn't intend to kill him.One of the simplest considerations is that Emperor Liu's vanity is at work.

Decades of turmoil have come to an end, and the family of emperors and princes has taken all their captives and surrendered to their feet.In Kaifeng, there is a very famous street, most of which is the identity of the residents.List a few names: Shi Chonggui, Li Congyi, Gao Jichong, Meng Chang.

It can be said that when these people are gathered together, isn't it just boasting of Emperor Liu's achievements?
When Li Yu learned of Liu Yan's situation, he was silent for a long time, and besides a little sympathy and desolation on his pale face, he was even more afraid.He didn't dare to imagine, if he went through it like this, would he be able to bear it?In the final analysis, Li Yu is just a literati, and he must be hypocritical.As shameless as Liu Wei, it is easy to get it. In fact, it is exactly the same. After being forgiven, Liu Kui thanked him a thousand times, and happily moved into the mansion prepared by the court. Meaning, as long as there is food, drink, and fun, being a bird in a cage is so much more comfortable than being the king of a country.

For Li Yu and his wife, there are traces of how the emperor will treat them. Judging from the hospitality along the way, they are also very courteous.After entering the Han Palace, Li Yu was invited to meet the emperor in the Long Live Hall, while Diao was invited to the Kunming Hall to receive the condolences from the Empress Fu.And judging from Emperor Liu's behavior of meeting Li Yu in the Long Live Hall, it also shows that he treats him differently.

"Criminal Li Yu, see Your Majesty!" Isolated in the Long Live Hall, Li Yu's voice was slightly low, his head was stuffy, and he knelt down on the ground.

"Exemption! Flat body!" Looking at Li Yu, Liu Chengyou's tone was very gentle.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Yu stood up calmly.

Seeing this ancient Ci emperor surrendering at his feet, Emperor Liu's state of mind was a little turbulent.He is not a cultural person, but he has also "read" Li Yu's Ci, too many famous sentences are still deep in his memory, and he is highly respected for his attainments in Ci.Although, in this life, it is very likely that it was Liu Chengyou who pushed Li Yu to become the "Emperor of Ci".

If you change your identity, change your angle, and look at this person, your feelings will naturally be different.

With basic feelings, regardless of political factors, looking at Li Yu, Emperor Liu's mood is complicated.In the previous life, from the perspective of an ordinary person, he read his poems and cherished others. Now, Emperor Liu is really capable and qualified to pity and sympathize with him.While causing his tragic life, we can't help but look forward to whether he can still write those famous works that have been passed down through the ages. It should be possible, after all, his talent and learning are real.

When Emperor Liu looked at him and his thoughts diverged, Li Yu also looked at Emperor Liu carefully, but just glanced at him, unable to understand the complicated meaning behind the gentle expression on Emperor Liu's face.

"I have been famous for Qing for a long time. I have invited you several times but have not seen you. Meeting today is a long-cherished wish!" Liu Chengyou said after a long time, with a slight smile on his lips.

These words fell into Li Yu's ears. I just felt that Emperor Liu was talking about his refusal to invite him to Beijing several times. He was in a low mood, but he chose to bow his head and replied: "It is the sinner's fault to let your majesty wait for a long time. Please punish me!"

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Emperor Liu waved his hands with a smile, and said: "With the power of Lai Qing, Jinling was saved from a war without a war. This is a great merit. I have forgiven your crime, so there is no need to be a minister!"

"The journey was hard. I specially prepared a little wine for you to come. Please take a seat!" Liu Chengyou pointed to a food table and said to Li Yu.

Looking up at Emperor Liu's peaceful gaze, feeling his humble tone, Li Yu was stunned for a moment, a wave of doubts welled up in his heart. As far as he knew, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was a powerful and domineering man, who seemed to treat him specially. Courtesy?
