Han Shizu

Chapter 529 The Storm in the River East (1)

Hedong, Taiyuan Prefecture, Jinyang.

The original Taiyuan Palace and Jinyang Palace are still so majestic and magnificent, quietly located in the city.In the past few years, some staff members echoed Liu Chong's mentality and suggested that he move to the palace or Miyagi, but Liu Chong "difficultly" refused.However, although his newly built Beijing Left-behind Mansion is not as large as the Jinyang Palace, it is even more magnificent in terms of magnificence.

In the extravagant and flashy lobby, Liu Chong once again summoned several confidants under his command to discuss matters.Liu Chong's complexion didn't look very good, and he felt a little vain. After several years of extravagant living, without restraint, his body was obviously a little damaged.

However, he still maintained his majestic ostentation as the king of Taiyuan, sitting on the throne, and only opened his mouth after the generals from Hedong had paid homage.

Holding a document in his hand, Liu Chong's tone was full of dissatisfaction: "The Privy Council issued another edict to let Gu pick and choose the strong to supplement the Tokyo Imperial Army! He also sent Zhao Kuangyin, the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace, to bring people to Jinyang Selecting soldiers is simply too deceitful!"

Almost dropped the book in his hand, Liu Chong's breath fluctuated, and he glanced around: "You guys let Gu ignore it in protest, but now it seems that the imperial court doesn't care at all! , Zhao Kuangyin has brought people into the country from Luzhou, how should Gudang deal with it?"

"Your Majesty, how many people did the imperial court send?" General Li Ting couldn't help asking.

"It's just a battalion of forbidden troops!" Liu Chong said.

"Just five hundred soldiers! It's nothing to worry about, it can be solved by flipping hands!" Li Ting said immediately.

Listening to his tone, Liu Chong hadn't made a statement yet, and Li Xiang, the Governor of Taiyuan, immediately said: "Your Majesty, General Li, this is an act of rebellion and a way to bring about disaster. You must not think about it! The imperial court is powerful and occupies great righteousness. Fate, why not!"

"Your Majesty Li Fu speaks lightly!" Li Yu said loudly: "Five thousand elites, this is to clean up our elites from Hedong! How can there be such a reason in the world to hand over hands to each other. Besides, if soldiers and horses are handed over, wouldn't they be slaughtered?"

Li Ting's words obviously expressed what Liu Chong was thinking, and he nodded subconsciously.

Seeing this, Li Xiang got a little excited, stood up and stared at Li Ting, and said sternly: "The general's words are great! Hedong is the state town of the Han Dynasty, and the king is the servant of His Majesty, and the soldiers and horses under his command should also be owned by the country! The enlistment is simplified, and those who are subordinates, how can they complain and resist!"

"Li Xiang!" Hearing what he said, Li Yu yelled violently: "Are you still a courtier of the king? Don't forget, if the king hadn't rewarded you with this official clothes, you would be nothing more than a down-and-out scholar! I don't know how to be grateful, and dare to It's unreasonable to talk about the righteousness of the country above the lobby!"

"I am grateful for the kindness of the king, so I don't want the king to make a mistake because of a moment of suspicion, and bring disaster on my own!" Li Xiang also responded excitedly, bowing to Liu Chong.

"Enough!" Liu Chong looked at Li Xiang unkindly, and waved his hands: "I have summoned you here to discuss a solution, not to listen to your quarrel! This is the palace hall, not the alleys and villages. Let you go wild!"

Taking a deep breath, Liu Chong said coldly: "The emperor's ambition is high, and he is not pleasing to the eye. Over the years, he has changed from one to the other, and has never stopped. Now, he has won a great victory in the Southern Expedition, which is even more impressive. Also No wonder, its orders are so strong!

Now who are the people in the temple of the Great Han Dynasty? How many people are there?I'm afraid that the emperor's uncle, who is lonely, has long been out of his eyes! "

After venting, Liu Chong took a few breaths, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and he suddenly looked at Zheng Gong, the judge of Jiedu, who was his most trusted subordinate: "Zheng Gong, why don't you speak up?"

Zheng Gong seemed to be a little absent-minded. Hearing the sound, he couldn't help shaking, met Liu Chong's gaze, and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I think that the imperial court's order must be obeyed!"

When Fang said this, he noticed that Liu Chong's face had changed, and he quickly changed his words: "However, although it is not possible to resist fiercely like General Li said, it can be delayed and delayed. I, Hedong, can only select two thousand soldiers, so there is nothing I can do!"

Zheng Gong held his beard, showed a shrewd smile, and suggested: "Your Majesty only needs to express his feelings to the court, and the court will not force him too much!"

Hearing his words, Liu Chong became more energetic, his eyes sparkled, but after thinking about it, he hesitated and said: "How can the court believe it? Then Zhao Kuangyin has already entered the east of the river. I heard that this person is quite capable, and he has made great achievements in Huainan. How can he?" Can you hide it from him?"

Li Xuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has been in charge of Hedong for many years. This is His Majesty's territory. Who is Zhao Kuangyin? He only has five hundred soldiers under him, and it's not his turn to show off his power!"

Li Ting seemed a bit reckless, but Liu Chong liked his attitude and was loyal to him!There was a smile on his face, after thinking for a while, he told Li Yu: "You take two thousand teeth soldiers to meet Zhao Kuangyin. Don't fall into my prestige!"

"Of order!" Li Ting looked excited, the corners of his mouth curled up, quite arrogantly.

"Your Majesty wants to use this to scare him! Let the court be afraid?" Zheng Gong asked.

"It's not what I want. It's just that the imperial court is too persecuted and blindly weak. I'm afraid that Tokyo will think that Gu is easy to bully and let him take advantage of him!" Liu Chong replied: "I just want to make the court more jealous by doing this!"

"In addition, ask Ze and Lu's people to keep an eye on Guduo to see if there is any change. Also, tell Li Cungui from Xinzhou to guard against Daizhou. Yang Ye is the emperor's loyal dog, and it is easy Bite! Also, the Jinyang garrison is on alert for Gu!"

After Liu Chong finished his orders, the faces of Wenwu and Wenwu present all changed, and they looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't expect that Liu Chong had already planned to carry out this fierce "struggle".

Taiyuan Governor Li Xiang was the one who reacted most violently. He stood up and looked directly at Liu Chong, and said loudly, "Your Majesty must not do this! Doing so will only deepen the court's vigilance and conflicts between the two parties. The Majesty and the Son of Heaven are blood relatives. You are a subject again, how can you do such a rebellious act!"

"Li Xiang!" Hearing his words, Liu Chong stared at him sullenly, "Shut up!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to plot rebellion?" Li Xiang glared angrily.

"You are bold! You are presumptuous!" Liu Chong broke out completely, staring at him viciously, but his eyes quickly swept across the civil and military halls to observe his expression.

But the expression was full of anger, and he stared directly at Li Xiang: "You are so arrogant! Are you conceited in talent and learning, and want to be favored directly, can you be bullied? Come, send this person to prison!"

After Li Xiang was taken away, the atmosphere in the hall was already very strange. After all, he was the Governor of Taiyuan, so he took it down as soon as he said he would take it down.Liu Chong said: "Li Xiang is ignorant of current affairs and speaks wildly, so he can no longer live in the palace!"

Taking a deep breath, looking around, Liu Chong sighed and said: "Everyone, as the first brother of the late emperor alone, he was ordered to guard the east of the river, which is to keep a back road for the great man. For the loyal ministers of the great man, the world can prove it, the sun and the moon can learn from it, and the lonely But with a clear conscience.

Today, the emperor reuses foreign officials such as Guo Wei, and neglects relatives.You have also seen that the solitary guards himself, but the imperial court wants to seize the power of the solitary. I am afraid that the emperor was bewitched by the villain and his courtiers, and this is an act of kinship and hatred.

Gushi has no intention of plotting rebellion, but in the face of chaos, he has to deal with it! "

After a pause, Liu Chong said in a calm voice again, and said very seriously: "Look at that Fan Zhi, he went to Hedong, under the banner of inspecting the prefectures and counties, inspecting the prisons, and punished the subordinates of the isolated government, dismissed him from office and seized power, and sent him to prison. Questioning the crime. How long has it been since more than [-] state and county officials have been deposed.

Most of you have been selected by your own hands since guarding Hedong alone, and have followed you for many years, relying on you as your confidants.If you let the court rectify it, I'm afraid you will protect yourself from now on! "

Listening to his words, the civil and military presence at the scene was very moving.After all, as Liu Chongzhi said, most of them were promoted by him and got close to him.

"Your Majesty is painstaking, and I understand!" Zheng Gong said: "However, in my opinion, appropriate actions are enough. Don't use swords unless it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, once you completely break with the court, Yuguo, Yuhedong, Yuguo The Son of Heaven, the Great King, is of no benefit!"

"Gu naturally knows!"
