Dahan first prince

Chapter 210 Chen Xi is no more than a traitor, but Yingbu is a traitor
In this way, Liu Ying set off on behalf of her father...
No.

To be precise, Liu Ying's "returning to the hometown to worship the ancestors" was secretly promoted by the emperor Liu Bang, initiated by the prime minister Xiao He, and officially put on the agenda after the empress Lu Zhi nodded in agreement.

Accompanied by her mother Lu Zhi, she sat down in the side hall, listening to the voices of admiration from time to time, Liu Ying also took advantage of the interval of waiting for the officials to leave the palace, and hurriedly put all the doubts in her heart on Lu Zhi's. before.

"Mother..."

Unexpectedly, just as Liu Ying opened her mouth, Lu Zhi leisurely opened her closed eyes and smiled slightly at Liu Ying.

"It was just discussed at the court, but my son can't see through it?"

Surprised for a moment by the old lady's understanding of herself, Liu Ying lowered her head and smiled, and then nodded slightly with doubts.

"My father's meaning, my son generally understands."

"——Yingbo will rebel, and it has not yet been clear whether it is real or not. If Yingbo rebels first and then sends officers and soldiers after the court, Yingbo will lose his righteousness;"

"However, if Yingbu did not rebel, and the pawns first went out to the east, Yingbu would have the righteousness of 'being cornered and had to rebel'."

"Thus before, although the father and the mother had agreed that the son would lead the army to go out, but just now the court discussed it, the father still did not make it clear, and only secretly sent Xiao Xiang to offer the policy of 'the prince returns to his hometown to worship the ancestors', and later agreed."

"In this way, my son can be justified and lead the Southern Army's confinement soldiers, and the generals of Zhouhou, Xinwuhou and other countries will go out of Hangu to the east, and gather clan relatives and princes in Fengpei to make plans;"

"As soon as Yingbu rebelled, Ze'er immediately summoned the army of Handan and the soldiers of the clan princes to encircle the rebels in Huainan!"

Expressing her own opinion with a slightly excited tone, Liu Ying's expression was even more hesitant.

"I just don't know..."

After thinking for a while with a little doubt, but still unable to figure it out, Liu Ying could only frown slightly and express her doubts.

"Last year, Chen Xi will rebel against Dai and Zhao Zhishi, but Chen Xi has not rebelled, and the father emperor first built the temple and counted above the court's discussion!"

"Father and Emperor gathered the army and set off in Chang'an East, Chen Xi hadn't revealed his rebellion yet!"

"Chen Xi is about to rebel, and the father can preemptively prevent Chen Xi from Dai and Zhao; now that Yingbu is about to rebel, why is the father so cautious, and he does not hesitate to send his son in the name of 'returning to the hometown to worship the ancestors', and he is not willing to Clearly said: This time, my son, is he going out to suppress the rebellion?"

Speaking of this, Liu Ying's puzzled expression only became more serious.

"If the imperial court takes action first, Yingbu will be able to "force rebellion". Last year, when Chen Xi was about to rebel, why did the emperor turn a blind eye to it?"

"Father's army moved first, and Chen Xi rebelled later. Why didn't Chen Xi have the righteousness of 'forcing rebellion'? As soon as the rebel army arrived, Zhao State would be completely lost?"

With a puzzled look on her face, Liu Ying asked a few questions, and Liu Ying did not forget to bow her hands to Lv Zhi in a polite manner: "I also hope that the mother will guide the maze and solve my son's confusion..."

Previously, when I heard that Liu Ying accurately pointed out that this time, Liu Bang sent Liu Yingdong in the name of "returning to the hometown to worship the ancestors", only a touch of approval appeared on Lu Zhi's face.

After hearing Liu Ying's questioning like a machine gun, the expression on Lu Zhi's face was also very indifferent.

But when Liu Ying solemnly bowed her hand to herself, and even clearly said the phrase "I hope my mother can give me some advice", the expression on Lu Zhi's face just froze!
As if in a daze, he stared at Liu Ying's face for a long while, only to see Lu Zhi turned his head with a slightly stiff expression, then stretched out his hand pretending to be angry, and patted Liu Ying's forehead lightly.

"Mother and son, do you still need to say thank you?"

"If you mention the word 'thank you' again, in the future, my son should ask someone else to teach you the art of politics."

The tone was full of resentment when he said this, Lu Zhi did not forget to lower his head with a slightly gloomy expression, and finally did not forget to mutter something.

"Good talk, even mention the word 'thank you'..."

Seeing the old lady's appearance as if she had been wronged by the sky, Liu Ying was a little puzzled for a moment.

Liu Ying suddenly realized when she heard the old lady's muttering of "We had a good chat, what are you doing thank you for?"

——Old lady, this is definitely the word "thank you". I am not happy after listening to the word "thank you"...
The old lady of the queen was in a little mood, and as a son, Liu Ying could only coax her.

He apologized again, slapped his hands again, and even solemnly made the promise of 'never say thank you to mother again'. Lu Zhi's face was full of sadness, and finally he showed some signs of retreating.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Ying hurriedly recounted her doubts just now.

Hearing Liu Ying's question again, Lu Zhi only rolled his eyes at Liu Ying with lingering anger, and a look of memory quietly appeared on his face.

"My son, I know: Xia Siyue, when His Majesty wanted to offend Liang Wang Peng Yue, what did he do?"

Seeing Liu Ying shaking her head in doubt, Lu Zhi couldn't help but let out a short sigh, and immediately explained the process of Liu Bang eradicating Liang Wang Peng Yue in detail in front of Liu Ying.

Including "Liang Taifu sued Peng Yue for plotting rebellion" "Worshiped Wang Tianqi as Liang Guoxiang, and went to Suiyang, the capital of Liang, to collect evidence of crimes" "Appointed Wang Tianqi as Tingwei, arrested rebellious Wang Pengyue" "According to Tingwei Wang Tianqi's proposal, Peng Yue was beheaded in Luoyang, and then his home was ransacked "Miezu" and other details were laid out in front of Liu Ying by Lu Zhi in every detail.

After Liu Ying's face finally showed a little understanding, Lu Zhi finally let out a chuckle, and looked at Liu Ying with full of pampering and pride.

"My son can see: What is the similarity and difference between Peng Yue's matter and His Majesty's desire to get rid of Yingbu today?"

As Lu Zhi's gentle questioning voice came to her ears, Liu Ying's face was filled with only a touch of surprise.

Similarities and differences?

——It's exactly the same!
At the beginning of spring, isn't Liang Taipu who reported Peng Yue's "conspiracy to rebel" the same as the Huainan Chinese doctor who reported Yingbu's "secret storage of armored soldiers" today?
In the name of "returning home to worship ancestors", Liu Ying, who is about to lead the "prince's guard and armed forces" to the east of Hangu, is not also Wang Tianqi who is wearing Liang Guoxiang's vest to collect (network) Peng Yue's crimes?

Even, like Wang Tianqi who changed his identity from Liang Guoxiang to Ting Weiqing after "obtaining" the evidence of the crime, when Liu Ying arrived at Fengpei Longxing's place smoothly and received the news of Yingbu raising the flag, Liu Ying also will Transformed gorgeously like Wang Tianqi.

——From the second son of the emperor who "returned to the hometown to worship the ancestors", he transformed into the prince of the supervisor and the commander of the army who "put down the rebellion on behalf of his father"!
"This!"

When Liu Ying was deeply shocked by this miraculous discovery, beside Liu Ying, Lu Zhi closed his eyes leisurely, and asked another question as if raving.

"In the past, King Zhang Ao of Zhao and King Han Xin of Chu will turn against each other. Your Majesty, what is the right?"

Hearing Lu Zhi's question, Liu Ying's face was horrified, and it finally turned into a layer of numbness...

It's exactly the same!
There is no difference at all!
—— Zhao Wang and Zhang Ao's "rebellion" was because Zhao Xiangguan Gao hated Liu Bang and wanted to assassinate the emperor, but he was "coincidentally" reported by Guan Gao's enemies!
Han Xin, the king of Chu, is even more typical among the typical ones—Xiang Yu's former subordinate Zhong Lizhen was sheltered by Han Xin, and it was also reported by a mysterious person, which was known to Liu Bang!

If there were one or two such mysterious people, it might be called a coincidence.

But when such mysterious people appear one after another in the incidents of 'rebellion of princes with different surnames', things may not be that simple...
"Liang Taifu..."

"Huainan Chinese Doctor..."

"A high enemy..."

"Han Xin's subordinates..."

Following Liu Ying's humble murmur, the identity of this group of 'mysterious people' is infinitely approaching an unbelievable direction even Liu Ying...
"Force!"

"These people are the eyes and ears of princes with different surnames!!!"

"The mission on his shoulders is to force against the princes with different surnames!!!!!!"

Full of horror, she let out an exclamation in her heart, and Liu Ying's brows were filled with a look of horror!
——Just now at the court meeting, Xiao He personally admitted: Huainan Central Doctor Ben He was sent by Xiao He himself under the order of Liu Bang!

Even Ying Bu, who had always been rebellious, knew to stretch out his hand to let the court plant his eyes and ears around him. How could it be possible that Peng Yue's servant was appointed privately?
One must know that Peng Yue was the one who declined the throne and was willing to be the Prime Minister of Wei Wang Wei Bao!

Even after Wei Bao's death, Liu Bang wanted to make Peng Yue the King of Liang, but Peng Yue refused again and again, and finally had to accept the order!

How could such a dutiful person do the stupid thing of 'privately appointing the two thousand stones of the prefecture and country'?

As for Zhao Xiangguan's enemies, it was even more outrageous.

Who is Guan Gao?

An old minister who was supported by Zhang Er, the first king of Zhao, to help Zhang Ao, the second king of Zhao, and an old prime minister in his sixtieth year!
Such a person, even Zhang Ao, the King of Zhao at that time, would have to give up three points; how could there be room for the "high-ranking enemies" in the territory of Zhao State?

Even if there is such a person, under the authority of Guan Gao and Prime Minister Zhao, who is lucky enough to survive in the Zhao country, how could he know the confidential news that 'Guan Gao wants to assassinate the emperor'?

The only reasonable explanation is: it's not that Guan Gao doesn't want to move this enemy, but he doesn't dare to move!
What's more, the identity of this 'enemy' has reached the level that can guarantee Guan Gao not to dare to touch him, and at the same time, in turn, plant ears and eyes around Guan Gao!
In the past few years, when the Han Dynasty appointed officials of the vassal states, the principle of "trying to make people who disagree with each other become the three princes of the same vassal state", the identity of this "Guan Gaoqiu family" is not difficult to guess.

——The same rank ratio as Guan Gao, appointed by the central government, appointed by the emperor himself, Zhao Guoshi!

Only this identity can support that 'enemy' to live in Zhao State under Guan Gao's malice, and learn of Guan Gao's plot to 'assassinate the emperor' at the first time!

Yingbu, Pengyue, and even Zhang Ao, the son-in-law of today's son Liu Bang, failed to escape such a blatant spying, not to mention Han Xin, the king of Chu who was already "doing the wrong thing" and was even more threatening.

It's just that in the emperor Liu Bang'I forced you to rebel, will you rebel? Before the question, Zhao Wang Zhang Ao and Chu Wang Han Xin chose to bow their heads.

If it weren't for the fact that the evil spirit would not die after the king was abolished, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, would have a high probability of being able to die like Zhang Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping, and even continue the blood of the clan.

And Peng Yue, for some reason, was cruelly eradicated by the emperor Liu Bang.

After coming to the conclusion that 'princes with different surnames are basically forced to rebel', Liu Ying's mood was only a little heavy.

Rao had expected her father Liu Bang's determination to eradicate princes with different surnames before this, but Liu Ying never thought that in order to cut off princes with different surnames, father Liu Bang has already reached the point where he will do everything he can... ·

Liu Ying never expected that she was just curious about "why Chen Xi's treatment is different from that of Yingbu", and she asked her mother Lu Zhi, and came up with such an "unexpected harvest" that made her shudder... ···

When Liu Ying was thinking, she slowly revealed a dignified look, and Lu Zhi finally seemed to have sensed it, and slowly opened her eyes.

Then, it was Liu Ying's guesses, all of which were confirmed by Lu Zhi himself.

"Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty has known in his heart that if the princes with different surnames exist in the Guandong, the Liu Han Sheji will be in danger of being overthrown."

"Cutting off princes with different surnames is because His Majesty has made up his mind for a long time!"

Saying this with a serious expression, Lu Zhi's tone could not help but carry a little sentimentality.

"In the Han Dynasty, there were eight princes with different surnames, and up to now, six have lost their princes."

"Linjiang Wang Gongwei and Yan Wang Zang Tu both knew His Majesty's will and rebelled against each other, and were later eliminated by His Majesty; Han Wangxin was also similar, so he made peace with the Xiongnu and is now a barbarian running dog."

"As for the Marquis of Huaiyin and Marquis Xuanping, they made things difficult for His Majesty but did not rebel. Only then will His Majesty show mercy, and lose the title of prince and be granted the title of Marquis."

"Hou Hanxin's thieves will never die, and they will eventually reap the fruits of their own seeds..."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhi couldn't help turning his head meaningfully and smiling at Liu Ying.

"Peng Yue is a special case."

"He made things difficult for His Majesty, and he has no objection. According to the stories of Huaiyin and Xuanping, His Majesty should have gone to the King of Pengyue, and he should have given him as the Marquis of Che; at worst, he should have kept the bloodline of Pengyue."

"However, what Peng Yue gained was Liang Guo..."

Full of sighs, he let out an exclamation, and on Lu Zhi's face, there was also a little regret.

"Liang Guo, located in the east of Luoyang, is the gateway of Guanzhong outside Hangu."

"Pengyue has been king of Liang for many years, and his disciples are all over the place; if Peng Yue's minions are not completely eliminated, Liang will never be safe, and Hangu will not be 'stable as Mount Tai'..."

Following Lu Zhi's steady voice, the calm expression on Liu Ying's face also slowly turned into a numbness.

It wasn't that Liu Ying was numb because of these little-known or even some disgusting things, but from the cases of the demise of princes with different surnames, she experienced a sense of sacred mission.

Are those extinct princes with different surnames wrong?

Objectively speaking, except Gongwei, Zang Tu and others, most of the princes with different surnames were originally correct.

At the very least, Zhang Ao, who lost his king due to the crime of his subordinates, and Peng Yue, who died because of a single attack, did not make any serious mistakes.

But from Lu Zhi's words, Liu Ying only felt the attitude of her father Liu Bang.

——Everything is for the country, everything for the country!
And this insight undoubtedly became the most precious awakening words in Liu Ying's life.

Until more than forty years later, when Liu Ying's body was buried in Anling, this life motto was also left by Liu Ying to the new king.

For Liu Ying's initial question, Lu Zhi finally gave a simple answer.

——Peng Yue, Yingbu, or Zhang Ao and Han Xin are all princes;

As for Chen Xi, he was no more than a minister of the emperor, but in the end, he was only a rebellious minister.

For rebellious ministers, the emperor does not need to hesitate for a moment, he only needs to get rid of the evil; while for rebellious kings, he needs to be handled carefully so as not to fall into the trap.

This is also the reason why the emperor Liu Bang can tolerate Zhang Ao and Han Xin in the world as Chehou, but cannot tolerate their existence as "kings".

——No matter who it is, when the emperor needs to be cautious, the existence of this person has become a threat to the whole world...
