Dahan first prince

Chapter 183 Should the Crown Prince go on an expedition on behalf of his father?
"Liang Prime Minister Wang Tianqi?"

Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.

Hearing Lu Shizhi's unhurried report, Liu Ying only raised the corners of her eyebrows, and a little insight crept into her expression.

In the previous life, Liu Ying 'failed' at the funeral of the Supreme Emperor in the autumn and July of the 11th year of the Han Dynasty, and then stayed behind closed doors in the womb of the crown prince until the autumn of the [-]th year of the Han Dynasty.

In this year's time, Liu Ying didn't know much about what happened in the world and the court, and even if she knew, it was mostly hearsay.

But even so, in Liu Ying's only memory of her first year of time travel in her previous life, the name 'Wang Tianqi' is also impressively listed!
—General Wang Tianqi, who first ordered for Lang Zhongzhu;

In the autumn of the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, he was worshiped by the emperor Liu Bang as the general of the guard, and went out with the emperor Liu Bang to quell the chaos of Chen Xi, the prime minister;
In the summer of the 11th year of the Han Dynasty, he made great contributions to calming the chaos and served as Prime Minister of Liang Guo;

In the summer of the same year, Liang Xiang Wang Tianqi played the emperor Liu Bang, and impeached Liang Wang Peng Yue for plotting rebellion;
Afterwards, Liang Xiang Wang Tianqi was ordered to thoroughly investigate the case, and Peng Yue was finally found guilty of the crime: the crime has been reversed!

So the emperor Liu Bang ordered: demoted Peng Yue to a commoner and exiled to Shu;
Later, due to the intervention of Queen Lv Zhi, the death penalty was changed, and the Yi tribe.

This is all Liu Ying's memories of the 'destruction of the Pengyue clan' in Liu Ying's previous life.

And Wang Tianqi, Prime Minister of Liang, who collected evidence of Peng Yue's crime and finally proved that Peng Yue's "inverted form" was in the autumn of the 11th year of the Han Dynasty when Liu Ying in his previous life ended the closed period, was appointed by the emperor Liu Bang as court Weiqing.

With these past life memories, when Liu Ying heard the name Wang Tianqi appeared together with the position of 'Liang Xiang', another person naturally came to mind in her mind.

"Hey······"

"Peng Yue, King of Liang, probably won't survive the summer..."

With an exclamation in a slightly sentimental tone, Liu Ying smiled and shook her head to herself.

Whether it is analyzed from the memory of Liu Ying's previous life or from the series of actions of the emperor Liu Bang in this life, Wang Tianqi's mission as Liang Guoxiang is very clear.

——Trapping charges, abolishing Liang Wang Pengyue's throne, and then waiting for the opportunity to kill him, so that there will be no future troubles!

To put it simply: from the moment Wang Tianqi appeared in Suiyang, the capital of Liang, as Liang Guoxiang, the death of Liang Wang Pengyue started the final countdown.

It's just that Liu Ying couldn't help but feel a little weird about Wang Tianqi being appointed as Liang Guoxiang by the emperor Liu Bang at this point in time.

"Why is it so urgent?"

When she made a question for no reason, Liu Ying frowned slightly, thinking secretly.

——In the previous life, it was Xia Juneyue's business that Wang Tianqi served as Prime Minister Liang!

Within a month after that, Peng Yue experienced the triple jump in life of "being demoted to a commoner", "being punished by the clan", and "chopped into meat sauce and given to Yingbu".

Then in autumn and July, King Yingbu of Huainan was frightened by Peng Yue's meat sauce and hurriedly rebelled, and the emperor Liu Bang justifiably went out to fight against the rebellion.

But in this life, all of this seems to have come earlier and more urgently...
"It's only Xiasiyue now, and Wang Tianqi has already served as Prime Minister Liang..."

"Even before Chen Xi was conferred the title, my father had already started a family and wanted to return to Chang'an..."

Whispering softly, Liu Ying's doubts became even more serious.

"Um······"

"Even Han Xin seems to have died earlier?"

Seeing Liu Ying frowning and thinking about something with a gloomy expression, Lu Shizhi at the side also relaxed a little and began to think secretly.

After only a moment, Liu Ying looked up hesitantly.

"Except for Wang Tian's appointment as Prime Minister of the Liang Kingdom, and the emperor's father wanting to turn around first, is there anything else?"

Hearing Liu Ying's question, Lu Shizhi only thought about it for a while, then bowed his hands to Liu Ying.

"When your majesty set out from Handan, he worshiped Marquis Fankui of Wuyang as Prime Minister of the Left. Together with Taiwei Jianghou Zhou Bo and Chariot General Xinwuhou Jinshe, he joined the army of King Lu Wan of Yan to challenge Chen Xi."

"As well as the Right Prime Minister Quzhou Hou Lishang and Hou Shizi Li Ji, they will return to Chang'an with your majesty."

As he said that, Lu Shizhi's face could not help but show a little solemnity.

"In addition to these two, Zhao Yao, the official censor, Shang Buhai, the old court official, Xia Houying, the prince of Ruyin, and Chen Ping, the marquis of Qu Ni, also drove back with them."

"As well as the armies of the Kwantung princes transferred by Your Majesty earlier, [-] soldiers from Jing and Chu each went south from Handan and temporarily stationed in Chu State..."

Listening to Lu Shizhi's words, Liu Ying's doubts on her face eventually turned into contemplation.

"General Yuan Xun, half of them turned back with them..."

"Gengjing and the soldiers of the princes of Chu have also gone south from Handan?"

Seeing Lu Shizhi nodded again with a determined face, Liu Ying finally got up slowly from her seat, frowned and walked to the door of the palace, sighing leisurely.

"urgent······"

"Father, it's too urgent..."

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Rao had guesses in his heart, and Lu Shizhi couldn't help getting up thoughtfully, and came to Liu Ying's side.

"The meaning of family..."

"Your Majesty's plan, is there another plan?"

Hearing Lu Shizhi's question, Liu Ying sighed again, then turned around with a wry smile.

"When the Dai and Zhao battles started, the King of Chu asked his father, the emperor, to lead the troops of Jing and Chu in person."

"So the armies of the princes of Jing and Chu were all under the command of the old Tingwei Gongshang Buhai."

"The soldiers of Jing and Chu are all going south from Handan, and they are temporarily stationed in Chu, and they will return to Chang'an with their father..."

Speaking meaningfully, Liu Ying couldn't help but shook her head and sighed again.

"Wang Tianqi is the Prime Minister of Liang Guo, Peng Yue's death is only a matter of ten months."

"Last year, Chen Xi rebelled against Dai and Zhao, and now his defeat is imminent; this spring, the Marquis of Huaiyin died and plotted rebellion; the king of Liang, Peng Yue, is also about to die."

"At that time, if you look around the Guandong, those who have different surnames and become princes will only be Huainan Wang Yingbu and Changsha Wang Wuchen."

"Also from the lineage of the king of Changsha, who is the descendant of Fuchai, the king of Wu, his king Changsha is from my Han family or Zhao Tuo of Nanyue; the king of Changsha has always been respectful, and there is no reason to conquest..."

Having said that, Liu Ying finally exhaled heavily, pursed her lips tightly, and shook her head slowly.

"In this way, on the day of Peng Yue's death, the emperor might be able to revive the king's teacher again, and go east to Hangu to pacify Huainan..."

"At present, Jing and Chu's soldiers are stationed in Chu State temporarily, but they are preparing for the battle before the battle. The Lord Buhai will accompany him back to Beijing. It is also because the emperor wants to award rewards first, and strengthen the prestige of Lord Buhai, and then let him take charge of Jing and Chu. The Army of Chu..."

"Ugh······"

"This year in Kanto, I am afraid that there will still be endless chaos; my Han family will go to war on the north and south fronts, to fight the princes of different surnames who are not ministers..."

Hearing Liu Ying uttered these obviously not so heavy words in an extremely heavy tone, Lu Shizhi hesitated for a long time, and finally frowned in puzzlement.

"At home."

"Putting down princes with different surnames is a national policy decided by the court; even if Chen Xi and Yingbu are both in the south and north, although your Majesty is a little bit too busy to respond, it is not too weak."

"Geng's family is now entrusted by His Majesty with the power to supervise the country, and because of the previous events, King Zhao has lost the opportunity to spy on the sacred."

"The family only needs to take care of themselves every step of the way, to maintain the peace of the court, and to sit and wait for your Majesty to calm down the princes of different surnames in the east of the Guandong, and there will be no danger; why are you so sad and worried about this?"

At first hearing Lu Shizhi's last question, Liu Ying subconsciously frowned, intending to speak.

When the words came to her lips, Liu Ying seemed to think of something, she quickly shut her mouth, and looked around meaningfully.

After Chuntuo, who was beside him, retreated quietly, sending away the maidservants and eunuchs in the palace under various pretexts, Liu Ying's previous sorrowful look appeared on Liu Ying's face.

"The sorrow of my nephew lies precisely in this!"

"—Last autumn, Chen Xi led the army against Dai and Zhao, and his father led the army. It has been half a year since now!"

"And today, before Chen Xi was awarded the head, the father returned to Chang'an again. Although he said, 'The holy bow is not safe, go back to Beijing to rest', but he sent Wang Tianqi to Suiyang to sin against Peng Yue, the king of Liang, and forced Yingbu because of fear. Rebellious!"

"Uncle, you might as well think about it: Chen Xi rebelled against Huainan on behalf of Zhao and Yingbu. This is the same chaos in the north and the south; and the father, the emperor, is in debt. Can An go out to Hangu again to beg Yingbo?"

Seeing that Lu Shizhi was still extremely confused, Liu Ying finally gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, a little urgency could not help but appear on her face.

"——Father wants to rest and recuperate, but he will not want to go to war again; then Peng Yue will die, and Yingbu will rebel!"

"Yingbu rebellion, father and emperor trained in Chang'an, who led the army to pacify Yingbu, who should it be?"

"Marquis of Wuyang? Marquis of Quzhou? Marquis of Xinwu?"

"Or maybe the father's son, the crown prince of the dynasty, the benevolent crown prince who is known all over Guanzhong, but is shorter than the mighty prince, goes to war on behalf of his father, and uses Ping Yingbu?!"

Hearing this, Lu Shizhi finally slowly widened his eyes, looking at Liu Ying in disbelief.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, don't you want your family to go to war to Ping Yingbu?"

With a horrified exclamation on his face, Lu Shi's expression became even more astonished.

"When Chu and Han were fighting, Yingbu's talents were once as famous as Chen Xi and Peng Yue!"

"There are even more rumors in the market: Yingbu is good at killing, Chen Xi is good at deploying formations, and Peng Yuexi is invading; the combined abilities of the three should be comparable to Huaiyin!"

"Besides, among the three talents, Yingbu is the best; even the Marquis of Huaiyin in the past was respected three times because of his ability!"

"Your Majesty should stop thinking about the merits of building the canal, and King Zhao's stigma of 'brother killing'."

"Since you don't want to be easy to store, your majesty will not let the family lead the army, and use Fayingbu as the one?"

I heard that Lu Shizhi was anxious, anxious, and showing no confidence all the time, saying this sentence, "Your Majesty shouldn't be like this, right?" ', Liu Ying did not speak again.

——Don't say that Liu Ying doesn't believe these words, I'm afraid that even Lu Shizhi himself, who said these words, has no idea in his heart!

Coupled with the memory of the previous life, Liu Ying is almost [-]% sure about this matter.

——After returning to Chang'an, the first thing my father Liu Bang will do is probably to convene all the officials of Gonghou to discuss the countermeasures against Yingbo.

And the proposal of "the prince going out on behalf of the emperor" will inevitably be put on the court by Liu Bang in this military meeting aimed at "peace against Huainan Wang Yingbu".

Liu Ying also understood in her heart: in the previous life, the reason why her father sent herself to the expedition was a little bit of anger, and the meaning of "dismissing the prince to see if he can find a chance to store" was in it.

And in this life, this possibility is infinitely close to zero.

Still the same sentence - Emperor Liu Bang, already over sixty years old...
Liu Ying still clearly remembers what her father Liu Bang was like in the previous life, after the proposal of "the prince went to conquer Yingbu" was rejected by the queen Lu Zhi's words.

——Liu Bang's hospital bed was directly moved to the imperial chariot!
——On the imperial chariot, there is an imperial doctor on call [-]/[-] at any time!
In the more than three months since Yingbo was pacified, Liu Bang never left the sick bed for more than three hours!
And in that mere three hours, the emperor Liu Bang, who was already dying, was shot by a stray arrow, completely losing his last vitality...

In this life, even though Liu Bang had forgotten the idea of ​​"Easy storage and abolition of the empress", Liu Ying still faced the same dilemma as in the previous life regarding the Yingbo rebellion.

——Leading the army to go out, worrying about problems; if something goes wrong, Liu Ying's death will be minor, and the world will be in chaos!
But if Liu Ying refuses to "go out on behalf of his father", then Liu Bang can only "go out" on the hospital bed dragging his sick body like in his previous life, and give the central army a layer of buff that "sad soldiers must win" throughout the whole process.

But in this way, Liu Ying's image in the hearts of courtiers, officials, meritorious officials, and even the people of the world may completely drop to the bottom.

——The old man is so sick that he doesn't know how to help him share the burden. What kind of good son is this?

——If you don’t have the responsibility to fight against the rebellion, how can you be a good emperor in the future?

In order to avoid these two stigmas and get even the slightest bit of stigma on herself, Liu Ying seems to have only the option of 'going out to counter the rebellion on behalf of her father'.

But the problem lies in this: Empress Lu Zhi, it is impossible to agree to let her precious son Liu Ying, who has already secured the reserve position and is only waiting for the throne to descend from heaven, to take such a huge risk, at the age of [-] or [-], to toughen Huainan King Yingbu······
In this way, the whole problem becomes an unsolvable closed loop.

If you don't fight, you will be unfilial, irresponsible, and 'do not worship the ancestral temple';
On the expedition, my old lady refused to let her die...

Of course, if it's just a simple 'going out to bear the risk', or 'not going out to bear the stigma', Liu Ying can barely accept it.

The thing that really gave Liu Ying a headache: this matter will never be easily concluded...
For this matter, the emperor Liu Bang and the empress Lu Zhi will definitely quarrel!
Even the entire court will cause a round of turmoil because of "should the crown prince go to war?"

But for Liu Ying, whose ass is completely welded to the crown prince, the most unpleasant, dazzling, and disturbing word is 'turmoil'...

"Ugh······"

"Try it······"

"Even if you can't be persuaded, the turmoil must be calmed down as soon as possible..."

Thinking this way, Liu Ying looked at Lu Shizhi with seriousness.

"I also ask my uncle to go to the proclamation room immediately, and tell my mother about this matter."

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Lu Shizhi cupped his hands subconsciously at first, and then raised his head with doubts on his face after recovering.

"Why don't you go with your ministers at home to answer the queen's question?"

But when Liu Ying heard the words, she just shook her head with a gloomy expression, and said cryptically: "My nephew has other important matters, and I will go to the announcement room at dusk."

As she spoke, Liu Ying's mood began to flow rapidly.

"Food franchise..."

"We need to speed up the process..."

"No matter what, we have to get everything on the right track before autumn!"
