Dahan first prince

Chapter 33 There is really no other way
"Your Majesty."

In the Hall of Changxin, after receiving the exact news from Liu Bang and Zhang Liang that "the state of Qi may be in chaos", Prime Minister Xiao He analyzed the current situation.

"Dai and Zhao are important places for the Huns in the north. Liang is located at the gate of Guanzhong, and Huainan is the south of Yue King Zhao Tuo and Changsha King Wu Chen."

"Now Chen Xi will be in chaos, and Dai and Zhao will fall in an instant; Liang and Huainan are now the land of princes with different surnames, and there may be changes."

After speaking, Xiao He's face became a little serious.

"The princes of the Guandong who are close to Chang'an today are the Yan under the jurisdiction of Chang'an Marquis Lu Wan, the emperor's eldest son Liu Fei Zhiqi, your majesty's concubine Liu Jiao's Chu, and the clan relatives Liu Jia's Jing Siguo."

"However, these four countries are far away from the center of the pass and near the sea. If the imperial court wants to connect with these four countries, they all need to go east from Hangu and cross Liang Kingdom to reach them."

Speaking of this point, Xiao He couldn't help but stop talking, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I think that Liang Wang Peng Yue is at the gate of Guanzhong, unless there is chaos in the Guandong, he will definitely not act rashly."

"However, if there is a change in Qi State, Yan State will be surrounded by enemies on three sides. Not only will it be unable to help His Majesty pacify Dai and Zhao, but it may even be besieged by Chen Xi, the Xiongnu, and even Qi soldiers."

"The road to Qi is cut off, so the only ones in Guanzhong that lead to Chu and Jing are left in Huainan."

"However, if Chen Xi was in a chaotic Zhao Dynasty, the King of Yan was trapped on three sides and surrounded by siege, and the Qi State changed again. Huainan Wang Yingbu might destroy the road and ruin the river, so that he can establish a separate regime and stand on his own. It is unknown."

"In this way, Chen Xi rebelliously replaced Zhao, Fu Kuan ruled Qi, Lu Wan was trapped in Yan, Yingbu set up Huainan, and King Jing and King Chu were trapped in the southeast."

"If it really comes to this point, Liang Wang Peng Yue will destroy Hangu if he is light, and use the way out of the Guandong East, and lead troops to attack key points and attack Hangu..."

Speaking of this, Xiao He couldn't help but shiver a little, stood up, and bowed deeply to Liu Bang, who was at the top.

"His Majesty!"

"If this is the case, the Guandong will be completely lost, and when the world returns to King Qin, the seven kingdoms will be side by side!"

"If it's more serious, the country will be in turmoil, and the world will be in chaos..."

Hearing Xiao He's words, Liu Bang didn't show much worry on his face, he just raised his eyebrows slightly at Xiao He.

"A small state of Qi is really related to the stability of the Kanto and the security of the world?"

Upon hearing Liu Bang's words, Xiao He knew: Your Majesty is pretending to be confused again...

With a smile, Xiao He raised his head with 'ashamed' expression.

"The importance of the state of Qi, His Majesty understands better than the minister."

"If it weren't for this, when Guo Zuo was first established, His Majesty would not have abolished the position of Marquis of Huaiyin as the King of Qi, and moved him to be the King of Chu."

"Let's not take the emperor's eldest son, Prince Liu Fei (wàng) as the Qidi, but the Marquis of Pingyang as the Qixiang."

Speaking of this, Xiao He couldn't help but his face froze, and there was a little meaning in his tone.

"Back then, Zhou Lu ordered Marquis Wu to hear about the emperor's eldest son, Wang Qi, but he did not dare to "remonstrate" His Majesty. He used the system of left and right ministers in Qi, with Pingyanghou as the left minister, and sent Zhou Lvhou's old subordinates, and Yangling Marquis Fu Kuan as the right minister. ..."

Hearing Xiao He mentioned the words 'Zhou Lv Ling Wuhou', Liu Bang's complexion froze for a moment, and he loosened his clothes a little uncomfortably.

The atmosphere in the hall had just returned to normal, and as Xiao He gradually lowered the volume, it fell into silence again.

How important Qi is, of course Liu Bang knows!
If it weren't for this, Liu Bang would not have received the secret performance from King Liu Jiao of Chu in the early morning, set off from Xinfeng in the early morning, and returned to Chang'an shortly after dawn.

But knowing Gui knows, the key to this matter is how to solve this problem so that Qi State can settle down.

At the very least, it is necessary to temporarily pacify the Qi State before the rebellion of Chen Xi, the prime minister, is wiped out, Liang Wang Pengyue and Huainan Wang Yingbu are wiped out, and the Han Dynasty completely controls most of Kanto.

Thinking of this, Liu Bang's gaze became slightly stern.

"Lu Zhi..."

"Humph!"

Secretly gritted his teeth and cursed again, Liu Bang got up from the couch and paced aside with his hands behind his back.

"Since this is the case, according to the prime minister's opinion, what should I do so that Qi can be temporarily stabilized and I can put down the Chen Xi rebellion with all my strength?"

As he said that, Liu Bang kept groping aimlessly on the wooden bamboo frame with his hands, as if he was looking for something, and he seemed to be doing it casually.

Seeing Liu Bang's move, Xiao He couldn't help sizing it up for a moment, then turned his head to the side, and saw that Liu Hou Zhang Liang still had his eyes closed, breathing out inductively.

Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Hezi also got up from the banquet, came to the position three steps behind Liu Bang, and cupped his hands slightly.

"I believe that all the chaos in Qi State is caused by the right minister Fu Kuan!"

"As for Fu Kuan, Marquis of Yangdu, since His Majesty led troops into the pass and captured Qin Xianyang, he has been a general under Zhou Luling Wuhou."

"Lv Ling Wuhou has died this week, and the only one who can send Fu Kuan into chaos is the queen..."

Having said this, Xiao He quietly stopped talking, and bowed deeply to Liu Bang.

Some things need not be said too clearly.

Xiao He is [-]% sure: Liu Bang can definitely understand the deep meaning implied in his words.

Seeing that Liu Bang seemed to be in a daze for a moment, he turned sideways with a little annoyance, and looked straight into the depths of Xiao He's eyes with deep meaning in his eyes.

"No choice?"

Hearing this, Xiao He shook his head solemnly: "There is no other way..."

Seeing the determination on Xiao He's face, Liu Bang couldn't help but slightly raised his head, and cast his eyes away to Zhang Liang who was still kneeling beside the imperial couch like an old monk in meditation.

"Um……"

"There is no other way, so let it be."

Without thinking too much, Liu Bang nodded slightly and returned his attention to the bookshelf in front of him.

"After leaving the palace, the prime minister informed all the officials: Tomorrow Maoshi, the court meeting will be held in the Changxin Hall, and all the courtiers, meritorious officials and nobles will come."

"The leader of the discussion is the commander-in-chief and general of Chen Xi, the prime minister of the army."

After saying that, Liu Bang didn't turn his head back, flipping through a roll of old bamboo slips, he waved his hand casually, signaling Xiao He and Zhang Liang to back down.

Seeing this, Xiao He hesitated for a while, and finally bid farewell to Liu Bang.

Before Xiao He could turn around, he saw Zhang Liang beside the imperial couch, opened his eyes leisurely as if he had just woken up from a faint, cupped his hands to Liu Bangyao, and then walked slowly towards the gate of the palace.

"A person who cultivates immortals is also unavoidable in the mundane world?"

Looking at the back of Zhang Liang leaving silently, Liu Bang smiled jokingly, put the bamboo slips in his hand back on the bookshelf, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"After it is easy to store and waste, it is indeed not in a hurry."

"Those four immortals made me lose a lot of face!"

"You still look down on Shu Suntong..."

"What a rotten scholar!!!"

Thinking to himself, Liu Bang was angry for no reason, and after thinking about it for a while, he put his hands behind his back and rushed back to the imperial couch angrily.

"Come on!"

"Calling Uncle Chang Sun Tong, immediately enter the palace to have an audience!"

He explained in an almost roaring tone, and when the Palace Langguan took the order to leave, Liu Bang slowly sat back on the imperial couch.

I don't know what he thought of, Liu Bang smiled strangely again, and lay down on the ground.

"Hey Hey……"

"Look down on Shu Suntong?"

"Want to teach that rebellious son Kong Qiu the way of benevolence and righteousness?"

"Humph!!!"

"So that you and other rotten scholars know: Who is the master of this country, this country, this country, the people, and everything in the world!!!!!!"
