Dahan first prince

Chapter 231 The prince is away, and the mother's life is not affected!

When Lu Shizhi was in a hurry, he brought out each of these items, which was enough to attract the "rumor" of the forbidden warriors, and Liu Ying's brows only quietly showed a little complicated expression.

"Auspicious..."

With a slight murmur, Liu Ying's mood flew to Qinzhong, which is thousands of miles away.

That piece of fertile soil, that piece of fertile soil that has been devastated by wars but has never been destroyed, was able to regain peace ten years ago with the efforts of today's emperor Liu Bang;
This year, the emperor Liu Bang issued an order, and the crown prince Liu Ying did his best to make the Zhengguo Canal, which had been in disrepair and dilapidated since the time of Qin II, regain the ability to "irrigate hundreds of thousands of acres of fields in the north of Weiwei".

But now, a year of hard work is about to allow hundreds of thousands of households in Guanzhong, especially Weibei, to reap gratifying results.

But since Liu Bang, king of the Han Dynasty, restored the Sanqin ten years ago, to Prince Liu Ying's renovation of the Zhengguo Canal this year, the peace and tranquility in the entire Guanzhong has never been disturbed by "gods".

——Liu Bang also determined the Three Qin Dynasty, relying on the plank road in the open, and Chen Cang in the dark;

——Liu Bang was able to establish Han Zuo, relying on the next battle of Gai, the overlord killed himself;

Even Liu Ying's renovation of the Zhengguo Canal was possible thanks to the unity of the Chang'an court and the support of the people in Guanzhong.

But now, when Liu Yingying was away in the army, taking the place of his father to suppress the rebellion, the unfamiliar term "auspiciousness" appeared again on the vast land of Guanzhong.

As a time traveler whose professional resume clearly stated the experience of "Emperor of Han", Liu Ying really understood what the "auspiciousness" in Lu Shizhi's mouth was referring to.

Flood dragons appear in the world, sweet springs come out of the earth, and double ears of grass grow...

When these extremely superstitious and mythical things are spread among the people in the form of "rumors", the only ones that can match them are probably the Hetu and Luoshu of "the gods reward the holy king" in ancient times. ·····
"There are gossips in Guanzhong, and the father temporarily rests in Ganquan. Marquis Feng heard about this, but he didn't do anything?!"

In the blink of an eye, Liu Ying's eyes were faintly vigilant and prudent for unknown reasons.

Even before she knew it, Liu Ying's address to Prime Minister Xiao He had changed from the respectful "Xiao Xiang" in the past to the slightly dissatisfied "Bing Hou".

It was also this subtle change that undisguised Liu Ying's emotions in front of Lu Shizhi!
As an atheist, Liu Ying clearly understands in her heart that since the word "auspiciousness" first appeared in the Chinese cultural circle, any form of auspiciousness has only one mission.

— Fools!
In order to maintain their rule, rulers will create all kinds of auspicious omens that make people feel incomprehensible, so that the people will not have the courage to resist the rule;
In order to overthrow the ruler, the rebels will also create all kinds of similar myths and stories, forcing the ignorant masses to believe that they are the real master who is "destined by heaven" and sent by the gods to rule the world.

There are countless similar examples in history.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion that occurred at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty left behind the familiar phrase "the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand", so there is no need to repeat it.

In other words, more than ten years ago, which is relatively close to this point in time, there were also two cases of "auspiciousness" that were famous in history.

——In July of the first year of Qin II, Chen Sheng, the militia chief who was called by the Qin court and went to Yuyang to guard, got a pill in the belly of the river fish, which said: Great Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng;

And this auspicious auspiciousness directly contributed to the famous "Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising in Daze Township, the whole world rebelled against Qin tyranny".

Although in the end, Chen Sheng, the commander of the rebel army who successfully ignited the anti-Qin fire in the world, was defeated in just half a year after the rise of the army, but only by virtue of the short six-character fish-bellied pill book, Chen Sheng was also able to fight against the Han Dynasty after the establishment of the Han Dynasty. , won the posthumous posthumous posthumous title of "King of Chu Yin" by Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

If this example is still a little far away from the Han Dynasty today, and it is not "known to all women and children", then another myth that is closely related to Liu Han Sheji must be called "known to all the world".

——In the later years of the first emperor, Liu Bang, the head of the pavilion of Sishui, who was recruited by the Qin court and led the young people in the village to build the mausoleum of the first emperor of Qin in Lishan, had no choice but to disband the team in Dangshan because some people escaped.

It was also that night that Liu Bang, the pavilion chief of Surabaya, who got drunk because of his despair about his future life, beheaded a white snake blocking the way on Dangshan Mountain.

But now, Liu Bang used to cut the white snake in Dangshan, but now the Chixiao Tianzi sword, which has been inlaid with gold, stones and pearls, is tied around Liu Ying's waist as a proof that "the prince is recognized by the emperor".

Just these two vivid examples are enough to present the true meaning of the word "auspiciousness" in front of every normal-minded person.

——Auspiciousness, almost an indispensable must-have for rebellion!

To some extent, for a rebellious individual or group, the necessity of "auspiciousness" even goes far beyond the actual sense of soldiers, food, and sphere of influence!
It is true that, in addition to the rebels using it to encourage the ignorant people to follow them, some emperors and monarchs will also use similar actions to stabilize their rule.

But in Liu Ying's view, all kinds of "auspiciousness" appearing in Guanzhong at present are unlikely to be the latter.

the reason is simple.

As the founder of the country, especially the emperor who "rebelled against the Qin Dynasty before the world, and won the world and put the common people in peace", Liu Bang, today's son, has absolutely no need to create auspiciousness to stabilize his ruling position!

As a dynasty in the history of China, the success of the country is second only to Zhu Ming, and the Liu Han regime does not need to rely on tricks to fool the people of the world who are already in an ignorant period!

In this way, the reason for "more auspiciousness in Guanzhong" is very clear in Liu Ying's view.

——Wang Yingbu of Huainan, who raised troops against the Han Dynasty, is enlisting the aura of mythology for himself! ! !

For Liu Ying, who was the first person in charge of countering the rebellion and who is also the crown prince, such a thing is absolutely unacceptable.

Feeling Liu Ying trying to suppress, but still frightening fury, Lu Shizhi's face only occasionally showed a trace of panic.

"Report, report to the family!"

"This matter, Xiao Xiang did not take any action!"

"It's the memorandum handed over by the court minister, and it seems to be left for your majesty..."

Hearing Lu Shizhi's answer, the anger in Liu Ying's heart was immediately replaced by confusion.

"Bing Hou knows it, and my father knows it too..."

"It is knowing..."

Talking to herself with distracted eyes, Liu Ying couldn't help but frowned slightly, and sat back on the banquet before the case.

Liu Ying is very sure: From these rumors about "auspiciousness", the emperor Liu Bang and the prime minister Xiao He must be able to see the threat Liu Ying sees.

Especially the emperor Liu Bang, who is an 'expert person', must be 12 vigilant against similar incidents!

But the reality today is: Liu Bang, the emperor, doesn't seem to have any reaction to the rumors that are prevalent in Guanzhong!
——Not only did there not be any response, even the memorial sent by the courtiers to report the matter was "retained" by Liu Bang.

With the experience of the puppet emperor in the past few years, Liu Ying is very clear about the subtext implied by the two words "stay in China".

In the court hall of the Han Dynasty, the word "Liu Zhong" is often followed by the word "Bufa".

However, the memorials handed over by the courtiers were kept by the emperor, which almost meant only two possibilities.

The first type is the things mentioned in this memorial, which the emperor does not want to see, hear, or even know;

In this case, out of the consideration of "out of sight is pure" and the intention of telling the courtiers "don't mention this matter again", the emperor will give this memorial a solution of "keep it in the middle and not publish it" .

But obviously, Liu Bang ignored the rumors about "auspiciousness" circulating in Guanzhong, which is unlikely to be the first case.

As for the second...

"Ok?"

"should······"

"No way?"

Thinking of the second possibility, Liu Ying only opened her eyes slightly, and just turned around when she saw Lu Shizhi lowered his head in a secret manner.

Seeing Lu Shizhi's reaction like this, Liu Ying finally realized what the auspicious events that happened in Guanzhong were "intentions"...

——The Son of Heaven gave a result of "retaining it and not publishing it" for a memorial. Apart from reminding the courtiers, "I don't want to hear about this matter, and everyone is not allowed to mention it again", the only remaining possibility is this matter. , just from the hands of the Son of Heaven!
Only in this case, the emperor who is inconvenient to directly shout out "Who is in the hall, why are you suing this official" will secretly remind the courtiers who handed in the memorial and the courtiers who waited and watched by keeping the memorial. : Don't be silly, this is what I did!

And no matter what the reason is for the emperor to "keep it in China" for a memorial, the courtiers and officials will immediately understand it, and wisely think that this passbook never existed.

But according to Liu Ying's understanding of all the officials in the court, especially the prime minister Xiao He, if the emperor Liu Bang really turned a blind eye to this matter out of "seldom bothering me", then even if Xiao He is fighting hard He will inevitably run from Chang'an Saya to Ganquan Palace to persuade Liu Bang to pay attention to this matter.

Coupled with the fact that Xiao He also turned a blind eye to this matter, the truth of the facts could not be more clear...

"Father...?"

With a strange expression on her face, Liu Ying made a low inquiry, and Liu Ying looked at Lu Shizhi again with uncertainty, and said tentatively: "Could it be that this matter is about my mother..."

"Father and emperor are in the way of mother's face, so he didn't deal with it?"

Seeing that the expression on Liu Ying's face did not seem to be filled with anger, Lu Shizhi hurriedly let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. After hearing Liu Ying's question, Lu Shizhi looked at Liu Ying, and could not help but feel There was a little teasing.

"In today's world, if you are the most familiar with the temperament of the empress, I am afraid that no one can become a monk..."

Saying a meaningful word, Lu Shizhi did not forget to smile and look at Liu Ying's waist, the extremely mythical Chixiao Tianzi Sword.

"A while ago, His Majesty ordered King Zhao to take over the country, and even used the Chixiao Sword against his family; now, his family is also personally leading the army, and the chaos in Huainan is about to be quelled on behalf of His Majesty."

"The old minister thought that the position in the family was safe, and according to the Queen's temperament, it is better to follow a static movement than a static one. The principle of tranquility leads to peace, and movement leads to chaos..."

With another extremely cryptic reminder, Lu Shizhi straightened up again, looking at Liu Ying with a sense of awe that he had never felt before.

"Let's say that the Jiaolong in the Zhengguo Canal and the sweet spring in the Liyang Palace are somewhat doubtful, but the double ears of grain in Weibei are certain."

"This may really be due to the merits of Tianshen Jia's family building canals and loving the people..."

Listening to Lu Shizhi's deep and calm tone, Liu Ying raised her head full of feelings, looked at Chen Liang on the top of the hall, and let out a long sigh.

"Father..."

"Ugh······"

At this point in the conversation between the uncle and nephew, the truth of the facts could not be more clear.

——In the past ten months, a series of "mysterious" events that occurred in Guanzhong were basically caused by the emperor Liu Bang!
At the very least, most of them came from Liu Bang's instruction, and a small part got Liu Bang's acquiescence, and even deliberately guided public opinion, so they were widely circulated in Guanzhong.

And the moment this conclusion appeared in her mind, Liu Ying's first reaction was a lingering sense of loneliness and helplessness.

——Old man, I should have a premonition of something...

But Liu Ying had nothing to do about it.

Liu Ying couldn't stop an aging life from going to its doomed end;

Unable to walk in front of the old father, it is not hypocritical to remind him: the father can live for another year;
Liu Ying couldn't even fight for two or three more years for her fledgling and immature self.

——Two or three years to continue to live in the uterus, relying on the father of the emperor, step by step, the time to cultivate your own power...

"Whoo~"

Forced to turn around from her thoughts, Liu Ying's temperament suddenly brought a sense of solemnity and a faint urgency.

"—Where is General Quan Xu?!"

"—Where are the generals Lu Tai, Lu Chan, and Lu Lu?!"

Two loud and clear shouts in succession immediately caused Lu Shizhi to look serious, with a faint suspicion on his brows.

Liu Ying turned a blind eye to this, and just straightened her back, watching four youthful and masculine figures walk into the hall, clasping their hands together.

"The last general is waiting, respectfully hear His Highness's military orders!"

Seeing that Liu Ying nodded with determination, she put her hands behind her back and raised her head high.

"The order!"

"The tent of the Chinese army moved eastward, fifty miles to the north at the turn of Chu and Jing!"

"The southern army should respond to the Long Ban, You Xiangguo, Jin Cheqi, and the lonely banner; the Chinese army will be dispatched!"

"—Before the next day's time, the Chinese military affairs should arrive at Qi County to garrison!"

As soon as the crown prince gave the order, several young and middle-aged generals immediately surrendered their hands to accept the order, and immediately exited the palace with excitement on their faces, and scattered to the directions of the various military camps outside the palace.

And beside Liu Ying, after reacting for a long time, Lu Shizhi turned around from the daze, and immediately knelt down beside Liu Ying in a panic.

"At home!"

"At home~~"

"When we were about to set off for the expedition, the queen had a word: the account of the family must not be in close combat for hundreds of miles!"

"Is there any family who wants to disobey the queen's entrustment, and put the ancestral temple and the community in danger of being shaken and overturned?!!!!"

Hearing Lu Shizhi's horrified tone, there was only a calm smile on Liu Ying's face.

"Uncle's words are a bit harsh..."

"It should be known that even if the general is outside, there will occasionally be times when the king's order is not accepted."

"Now that the Huainan bandits are about to go north to attack Chu, and they are alone as princes, they are entrusted with the responsibility of the emperor to put down the bandits."

"At a time like this, how can Gu fight hundreds of miles away, silently watching all the soldiers fighting in front of the battle?"

Lightly dismissing Lu Shizhi's reminder of "staying away from war", Liu Ying's eyes only quietly glowed a little.

——As a time traveler, Liu Ying can't do much in a war in the era of cold weapons.

But fortunately, the experience of her previous life can clearly let Liu Ying predict: in this war, at what time, where, and by what means, Liu Ying can get a result that satisfies her... ·
