Chapter 1778 The big man no longer needs a king with a different surname
On the day of Lidong, Emperor Liu went out of the palace for a private visit to visit Xijing, wanting to change his mood.For Emperor Liu, after 11 years of absence, Luoyang has a lot of strangeness. Compared with the bustling and gaudy, Kaifeng is indeed much better than Luoyang. However, in terms of layout and momentum, it is not comparable to Kaifeng. After all The details of the thousand-year-old capital lie there.

And Emperor Liu, who had been immersed in the glitz of Tokyo for a long time, also had a refreshing feeling when he saw Luoyang again. After many years, he seemed to have regained the worry about the country that he insisted on moving the capital back then.

Winter is the season for all things to recuperate and the people to enjoy the harvest. However, probably because of the national mourning, Luoyang City as a whole is extraordinarily quiet.

Emperor Liu wanted to infect the people's anger, but he failed to achieve it after all. He also couldn't really understand the people's sentiments like in the past. Even asking about the people's livelihood seemed a bit perfunctory. point.

Therefore, when returning to the palace, Emperor Liu's face was cold and his eyes were indifferent, but Yan Tuo, who was waiting with him, was terrified.However, with the presentation of Dongping King Zhao Kuangzan's resignation memorial, he finally showed a long-lost smile. Although it was very faint, it was a smile after all.

In the vertical arch hall, the lights were dim, and the cold wind kept invading, but Emperor Liu's complexion softened a lot.After reviewing Zhao Kuangzan's memorial, Emperor Liu passed it on to Liu Yang, Zhao Kuangyi, Wang Zhu and Lu Duan.

Before Li Fang and Wang You entered Beijing, the main affairs of the imperial court were basically handled by these four people. Of course, recently, Emperor Liu's attention to state affairs has skyrocketed, and he has to listen to the government in the Chuigong Palace every now and then, and he often meets with four people when things happen. people discuss.

Liu Yang and the others read it one by one, and they had different reactions to the content, but they didn't dare to speak rashly for a while.They didn't say anything, but Emperor Liu took the initiative to ask: "What do you think about King Dongping's request?"

This question is a bit difficult to answer, and the difficulty lies in the fact that it is difficult to figure out what Emperor Liu is thinking, so the silence in the hall continued.

Seeing this, Emperor Liu was not annoyed, and threw the memorial that Yan Tuo had taken back on the imperial case, and said, "Don't say anything? Then let me change the way of asking. Tell me, what is the purpose of Zhao Kuangzan's invitation? There is no reason, Even the prince bestowed by me is gone, there must be something hidden in it! Zhao Qing has always been agile, tell me!"

"Why?" Seeing that he spoke firmly, Emperor Liu asked.

From Emperor Liu's words, it is not difficult to see that he did have thoughts about those kings with different surnames who were named in his early years.But Liu Yang listened, pondered for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "I don't know how will your Majesty treat the three kings Fu, Qian, and An?"

Whether the meritorious service of the great man is rewarded or withdrawn, the initiative will always be in the hands of Emperor Liu.However, on this matter, although Emperor Liu had some guesses about Zhao Kuangzan's intentions, he didn't care too much about it. He paid more attention to the attitudes and feelings of these heroes and nobles.

It was such a simple sentence, without any redundant explanation, but everyone present felt awe-inspiring, the title of Founding County King was so easily deprived.

"The prince stays, and everyone else retreats!"

"I don't dare!" Zhao Kuangyi said hurriedly with his heart trembling.

Still crap!

Zhao Kuangyi also seems to be well versed in nonsense literature, it's as if he didn't say it.Emperor Liu grinned when he heard it, and said, "I'm asking you now! Are you using this to perfuse me?"

Lu Duan replied: "King Dongping has worked hard and made great achievements. Your Majesty has been kind to you. It is also a kindness to grant his request and listen to his wishes!"

After the three of them retreated, Emperor Liu looked at Liu Yang who was still thinking, and smiled lightly: "How do you think this matter is handled?"

Of course, it is difficult to express the true thoughts in his heart. Under the gaze of Emperor Liu, Zhao Kuangyi did not dare to think too much. Call for more information, to find out?"

After thinking for a while, Lu Duan said in a deep voice, "I think your majesty is right?"

"Yes!"

It is conceivable that Zhao Kuangzan set an example, how should the other kings with different surnames deal with themselves?Putting the two kings Fu and Qian aside for the time being, at least Xiangyang Wang An Shouzhong may not be able to sit still. Bi Ta was the first to propose resigning from the prince, but Emperor Liu did not agree at the beginning.Now, Zhao Kuangzan asked again, but agreed without any hesitation, and didn't even pay attention to his appearance. Emperor Liu's deep thoughts became more and more difficult to figure out.

He didn't ask the chancellors for their opinions on this matter anymore. Emperor Liu wanted to be arbitrary. He thought to himself for a moment, raised his eyes, and ordered: "Pass down the imperial edict, and make Zhao Kuangzan the Duke of Lu!"

Being pointed out by Emperor Liu, Zhao Kuangyi felt a little embarrassed, and thought to himself, what is hidden in it, does His Majesty not know?Left and right, but retire to protect yourself.

Since Lu Duan became prime minister, he still maintains the prudent style of the past, slow in speech but quick in action, especially in front of Emperor Liu.At this time, when asked by Emperor Liu, the old eyebrows couldn't help but frowned, looking very embarrassed.

"However, that's fine!" Emperor Liu's expression quickly became stern, and his tone became more indifferent: "Zhao Kuangzan is still a smart man. Whether he is self-defeating in business or resigning from the prince, he is submissive! He wants to ask Peace of mind, I will give it to him!"

However, Emperor Liu did not embarrass Zhao Kuangyi any more. He knew in his heart that these honorable ministers should not speak rashly about such a matter. Everything depends on his will.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Liu looked around and asked again: "Another question, please tell me again, is the request of King Dongping acceptable or not? Lu Duan, tell me?"

"There are so many things that I have been criticized by people, and this one is not bad!" Emperor Liu said in a flat tone, "Compared to this, what I feel more emotional is that these heroes and nobles seem to be getting more and more serious. I will figure out my thoughts now. This Zhao Kuangzan has been recuperating at home for many years, but he seems to have seen through my thoughts."

Shocked and quick-witted, Zhao Kuangyi said, "I think that the king of Dongping may have encountered something unspeakable, so he made this rhetoric!"

After the conversation that day, Wang Zhu still didn't change much, and he became more and more transparent. This time, without saying a word, he left with Zhao and Lu Erxiang.

"Oh?" Emperor Liu asked with a look of interest, "What's so unspeakable?"

Hearing what Lu Duan said, Emperor Liu glanced at him in surprise, this honest Lu Shangshu could say such brazen words.However, it is pleasant to hear.

Liu Yang glanced at Emperor Liu, frowned and said: "Although Zhao Kuangzan took the initiative to resign, it is inevitable that people will criticize him!"

Zhao Kuangyi lowered his head and replied, "I don't know!"

"What do you think?" Emperor Liu asked back, and then said softly, "Since Zhao Kuangzan has set an example, let's see if they are as smart as him."

"Big man, there is no need for a king with a different surname anymore!" Emperor Liu said again, his voice was very soft, but it was extremely ear-catching, and Liu Yang heard it really.

After thinking about it, Liu Yang seemed to be reminding Emperor Liu: "Fu Zhaoyuan is still in Anton!"

"Why do you need to care about where others are when it comes to an edict?" Emperor Liu said immediately, but noticed Liu Yang's expression, and said more: "I know your relationship with the Fu family. How to do it is up to you. "
