I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 227 My son, please play!
Please, gentlemen, answer this doubt for me?
The usual 'ask' made hundreds of people in the hall lower their heads quietly, look at each other to the left and right, and exchanged glances with the colleagues beside them.

And Liu Sheng, who was sitting next to his elder brother Liu Pengzu in the back seat of the Chaoban teacher, looked around the hall full of curiosity, observing everything that was happening in the hall.

——If it was in the past, Liu Sheng would definitely sneer at this kind of hypocritical occasion where he wanted to cover up and not talk about it.

But now, at least he is going to be the prince. Liu Sheng is more and more interested in these seemingly hypocritical and contrived things.

Because Liu Sheng knew that at this moment, what was happening before his eyes belonged to this era, the political process and normality of the central government.

"So, no matter what the emperor wants to say, he can't say it himself?"

"It's about using this method, asking questions, to let the courtiers say what they want to say for themselves..."

With such doubts, Liu Sheng couldn't help straightening his already straight body even more, stretched his neck, and looked towards the center of the empty hall.

Soon, one after another came out of the court class, bowing to the emperor and reporting to the emperor, which can be said to be an eye-opener for Liu Sheng.

"Report to His Majesty."

"Liu Bi, Liu Wu and other thieves revolted, and the flames of war stretched over half of the Kanto region;"

"—It is indeed as His Majesty said: it is inevitable that the local people will be poisoned by the flames of war."

"It's also just as His Majesty said: For the people affected by the war, all local counties and countries should properly resettle them."

"But after the rebellion ended, the land of Wu was entrusted to the current King of Jiangdu; the other princes were also named King of Linjiang, King of Hejian, King of Changshan, King of Lu, King of Changsha, King of Jiaodong, and King of Jiaoxi. king."

"My sons were only crowned kings in autumn. Except for the three kings of Linjiang, Hejian, and Changshan, the other four have just left Chang'an not long ago."

"—All the kings have just established themselves as kings and vassals. All the countries have not straightened out their domestic affairs, and they have not settled down in time. The people affected by the flames of war are also understandable."

"However, if it is those vassals who have been crowned kings for many years, but still have not properly resettled the people under their rule, especially the refugees affected by the war, I am afraid that your Majesty will need to send envoys to question..."

After Tian Ziqi's question, the first person to stand up was Tao Qing, the official censor.

Combining Tao Qing's identity as "Chao Cuo's horse boy" and Chao Cuo's label of "Tianzi's mentor", after Tao Qing said these words and Tianzi Qi nodded slowly, everyone in the hall easily understood what Tianzi Qi meant. mean.

- Attention!

——Zhen, I'm going to take the clan princes to the knife!
——But pay attention to the scope, don't get involved with the sons I just sealed off!

After realizing this, everyone in the hall lowered their heads again, and began to think about whether they should be born or not, and what to say about their background.

Taking advantage of the gap between everyone's thinking and speaking, Tianzi Qi did not forget to speak in person, and implicitly emphasized his intentions.

"What the censor doctor said makes sense."

"—The Eight Kings of Linjiang, Hejian, Changshan, Lu, Jiangdu, Changsha, Jiaodong, and Jiaoxi all issued imperial edicts in autumn."

"The three kings of Linjiang, Hejian, and Changshan who set out earlier have just arrived in the country for more than a month, and they haven't even finished building the palace;"

"The kings of Lu, Jiangdu, and Jiaoxi who left later arrived in Fengguo in the first ten days of September;"

"The king of Changsha is still on the road because of the long journey; the king of Jiaodong is left in Chang'an because of his young age..."

With the normal complexion, he emphasized "don't get involved with my sons", and seeing Tianzi Qi let out a breath, his complexion straightened accordingly.

"What about the other kings?"

"How did King Yan, King Dai, King Qi, King Chu, King Liang, and the kings of the Qi and Huainan families do it?"

"Did they properly accommodate the people under the rule who were affected by the war, and lived up to the entrustment of Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Xiaowen???"

Asking pretending to be puzzled, everyone in the hall raised their heads in unison, and turned their eyes to Chaoban Xishi, who was doing a 'bowed head in thought' state, Chao Cuo.

In today's grand court ceremony, Tian Ziqi will start with his clan and princes, and everyone in the hall understands it.

——This is the follow-up part of "Strategy to Cut Fans"!

It is a supplementary clause that will inevitably follow after violent suppression.

But under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people in the hall, Chao Cuo did not stand up resolutely as usual.

Standing up and answering the emperor's request, it was still the doctor Yushi: Kaifeng Marquis Tao Qing...
"Chao Cuo..."

"—Have you learned to be smart?"

"Knowing that you can't do anything, you have to charge forward in person. Instead, let Ma Zai come forward, and you should stay behind the scenes and control the overall situation?"

"Tao Qing's dog's leash should be back in Chao Cuo's hands, right?"

Liu Sheng made a joke, which caused Liu Pengzu who was beside him to chuckle and shake his head.

And in the center of the hall, Tao Qing, the censor who got up again, only bowed to the emperor Qi once again.

"Report to His Majesty."

"Last year's rebellion, although it spread widely, did not spread to the entire Kanto."

"——Yan Kingdom and Dai Kingdom in the north have not been affected by the flames of war at all;"

"As for the State of Zhao, although it experienced a short period of turmoil due to Zhao Wang Liu Sui's wolf ambition, it quickly settled down under Qu Zhouhou's suppression."

"So, in the three kingdoms of Yan, Dai, and Zhao in the north, there was no displacement of people or improper resettlement of counties and states..."

The sonorous and forceful words narrowed the scope of the officials again: Yan, Dai, and Zhao are not within the scope of this attack!

In this way, the only ones left are the Qi Clan headed by King Liu Jianglu of Qi, the Huainan Clan headed by Liu An, King of Huainan, and Liu Li, who has just been named King of Chu;

as well as······
"Zhang Yu, Weiwei of the Changle Palace, call for Your Majesty!"

After a short period of silence, a high-pitched salute sounded, and the 'voice' of the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace was transmitted to the grand court ceremony.

"Last year's rebellion, King Liang, has been defending against the rebels in Suiyang!"

"At that time, Chen was the lieutenant of Liang Guo;"

"After Marquis Gonggao attacked Huaisikou by surprise and the rebel army broke up immediately, I spent a lot of time cleaning up the defeated troops in Liang State."

"It wasn't until autumn, when Liang's rebel army was defeated, that the liquidation was finally completed."

"—As early as the end of the rebellion, the king of Liang heard that the people in the country were starved of food and clothing because of the flames of war, so he ordered to open the treasury of the state of Liang to provide relief and resettle the victims."

"Half a month ago, the King of Liang received news again in Chang'an that the victims of the Liang Kingdom had not been properly resettled, and he hastily bid farewell to the Queen Mother and His Majesty."

"The purpose is to return to Liang State in person, to question those officials who are not doing their job effectively, and to personally preside over the resettlement of the disaster victims and refugees."

The firm words caused everyone in the hall to look sideways, and each cast their admiring gazes on Zhang Yu's burly and tall back.

——Even though he has become an official in the court, Zhang Yu's loyalty to Liang Wang Liu Wu seems to have not weakened at all;
And after Zhang Yu, another figure 'rising from the ground' caused everyone in the hall to fall into a momentary confusion.

"Prince Taifu Wei Qihou Chen Dou Ying, Qizuo Your Majesty."

"Last year's rebellion was led by two thieves, Liu Bi, King of Wu, and Liu Wu, King of Chu, and all the thieves in the Qi line followed."

"After the rebellion was put down, Liu Bi's Wu Kingdom was entrusted to the current King of Jiangdu;"

"Jiaodong, Jiaoxi and other countries where the thieves of the Qi lineage also have their son Liu Duan and son Liu Zhi as their kings."

"—and the state of Chu of Liu Wu, king of Chu, was divided into two parts. The land of Lu was granted to Liu Yu, the prince of Lu, and he was named King Lu; the land of Chu was granted to Liu Li, the son of King Chu Yuan, and he was still named Chu. king."

"The current King of Chu, Liu Li, is not His Majesty's heir, but like all the princes, he has just been granted the title not long ago."

"For the disaster victims and refugees in the state of Chu, the king of Chu failed to properly resettle them. I am afraid that it is also because he was granted the title not long ago..."

After Zhang Yu became Liang Wang Liu Wu, Dou Ying stood up again, and also excluded the Chu Wang Liu Li who had just been granted the title from the hit list this time.

And there is no doubt: Zhang Yu and Dou Ying's excuses for Liu Wu, King of Liang, and Liu Li, King of Chu, were all instructed by Queen Mother Dou.

This made everyone in the hall feel a little confused...
"Remove the newly crowned prince, Yan Dai Zhao in the north, and Liang Chu in the south..."

"leftover······"

"—Royal Father intends to focus on the Qi and Huainan factions to get to the bottom of it?"

For Liu Sheng's doubts, Liu Pengzu obviously also deeply agrees;

Even most of the people in the hall felt a little confused by Tianzi Qi's actions.

Today's Guandong, from north to south, has six major kingdoms: Yan, Dai, Zhao, Qi, Chu, and Liang;

In addition, Changshan, Hejian, and Linjiang in the Qi-Zhao generation, Jiaodong, Jiaoxi, Jinan, Jinbei, Chengyang, and Suichuan in Qidi;
Huainan State, Hengshan State, Lujiang State in Huainan, Changsha State in the south, and Jiangdu State in Wudi...
Big and small added together, no more, no less, exactly twenty clan vassal states.

But today, Tian Ziqi almost "expressed" all the officials that he planned to take the clan princes into action, but ended up saying "don't touch my son", which ruled out eight of the twenty princes;
For the remaining twelve, Queen Mother Dou spoke again: Liang Wang Liu Wu cannot move, Chu King Liu Li cannot move;
Hundreds of officials and ministers also acquiesced: Yan and Dai in the north shouldered the responsibility of guarding the border wall and could not move it.

Then remove the vacant throne and leave it to Liu Pengzu's State of Zhao, as well as King Suichuan and King Jinan who "killed themselves" because of their participation in the rebellion...
The remaining six are the three kings of the Huainan lineage and the three surviving kings of the Qi lineage...
"Your Majesty, do you want to exterminate the Qi and Huainan factions?"

"Probably not?"

"—King Qi, didn't you raise your troops?"

"——The three kings of the Huainan family did not oppose it, and Liu Bo, the king of Hengshan, even came to Chang'an in person to prove his innocence?"

"This······"

For a moment, everyone in the hall looked at me and I looked at you, without exception, they all saw a hint of worry on each other's faces.

The Qi and Huainan factions were indeed the main destabilizing factors for the Han family in the past few decades, except for King Wu and Liu Bi.

But the reason why these two veins can become unstable factors can also be said to be the "historical problems" left over from the reign of the first emperor.

——The Qi family, at the beginning of the first emperor's succession to the throne, was divided into seven based on the Qi state, and each of them appeared with the descendants of Liu Fei, the mourning king of Qi;
The reason why the first emperor did this was not only to dismember Qi through tweeting grace, but also to make up for the line of King Hui of Qi Mourning.

Because Qi Yuhui Wang Liu Fei is the eldest son of Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang and the elder brother of Xiaohui Emperor Liu Ying.

In addition, the first emperor came to Chang'an from Daiguo and successfully inherited the throne, which more or less meant "snatching the throne of King Liu Xiang of Qi".

As for the Huainan Department, although the situation is not more complicated than that of the Qi Department, it is also because of a very sensitive matter.

——Liu Chang, Li Wang of Huainan, was the only surviving younger brother of the late emperor when he succeeded the emperor, but was eventually forced to death by the late emperor...
Therefore, after Liu Chang's death, the first emperor divided the Huainan kingdom into three, and let Liu Chang's three sons become kings. The consideration of Huainan Li Wang's lineage.

In other words: the existence of the Qi family is because the first emperor 'robbed' the throne of the Qi family;
And the Huainan faction existed because the first emperor 'killed' Liu Chang, the Li Wang of Huainan.

From a normal person's point of view, the reason why these two lines became the Han family's "confidential troubles" was because the line of the late emperor Liu Heng owed these two lineages;

But on the other hand: it was precisely because of the debts to these two lines that the first emperor was unable to deal ruthlessly with these two lines, which eventually made these two lines more arrogant and indulgent, and eventually became a serious problem for the Han family.

But now, the emperor Qi, who is relying on the prestige of pacifying Wu Chu, seems to want to end this cycle.

Emperor Qi seems to want to completely ban the Qi and Huainan factions so as to prevent future troubles forever.

As for the courtiers and officials, there was only a moment of displeasure...

"So, what you mean is that only the kings of the Qi line and the Huainan line are clearly capable of properly resettling the victims of disasters and refugees, but they didn't do so?"

"Zhen, should I blame the six kings of the Qi and Huainan families for this matter?"

In the silence, Tian Ziqi's deep voice sounded, causing everyone in the hall to raise their heads with mixed feelings;
Looking at Tian Ziqi, he clearly wanted to say something, but because of various concerns, he didn't know how to speak.

Seeing everyone's concerns, Tianzi Qi frowned thoughtfully, and slowly got up from the imperial couch.

Putting his hands behind his back, he took two steps to one side, and said to himself in a 'difficult way': "That's not the case, is it?"

"I remember the rebellion last year. Although the king of Qi had promised Liu Bi earlier, he would join forces to rebel..."

"——But in the end, didn't you still have no reaction?"

"Huainan King Liu An originally wanted to start a rebellion, but in the end, he was also stopped by the Prime Minister Zhang Shizhi?"

"There is also King Chengyang, even if he raises an army, he will be coerced by the Wu thief Zhou Qiu;"

"Jibei King Liu Zhi, like Huainan King, wanted to start a rebellion, but was stopped by his Lang Zhongling..."

···
"Among the six kings, there were only four who wanted to raise troops, or tried to raise troops."

"—Among the remaining two, Hengshan King Liu Bo stuck to his heart and came to Chang'an in person to apologize to me."

"Now, these six kings turn a blind eye to the situation of the victims and refugees in the country. It really shouldn't be."

"But do I want to treat these six kings harshly because of this?"

"Masters, do you really think that I should do this???"

It seems to be heartbroken, but in fact it is pressing every step of the way. I wish I could just yell out 'Hurry up and say yes! ' His words only made hundreds of figures in the hall bow their heads.

Especially when recalling just now, when the emperor said, "The six kings of the Qi family and the Huainan family, there were only four of them who tried to cause chaos", everyone's faces turned red...

Not to mention other things, let's just talk about the Qi lineage. Originally there were seven kings of Qi, Jinan and Jinbei, Jiaodong and Jiaoxi, and Suichuan Chengyang, but four of them directly participated in the rebellion, and now they have all died!
The surviving kings of Qi, Jibei, and Chengyang, one repented before the battle and did not raise troops, and the other was under house arrest by his subordinates and failed to raise troops;

The only surviving seedling——Chengyang King Liu Xi, did not intend to raise an army, but was defeated by the traitor Zhou Qiu, and was helplessly coerced...

The Huainan family is better, one of the three kings is loyal, and the other is loyal;
Liu An, the only king of Huainan who wanted to raise troops, was coaxed and tricked by the Prime Minister Zhang Shizhilian to surrender his military power.

But after Tian Ziqi's eccentric remarks, even if the officials felt uncomfortable, they could never say a single word of intercession for the Huainan and Qi families...
——If today, Tianzi Qizhen slapped his forehead and banned all the Qi and Huainan families, then he could only blame these two families, it was too outrageous.

Ten kings, four raise troops, and four deliberately raise troops;
Among the four who intend to raise troops, two of them were handed over to the army by the ministers...
"It's your fault..."

"Ugh······"

"It is pity that Qi mourns King Hui and King Li of Huainan, and they will cut off their incense from now on..."

Sighing in this way, the courtiers and officials shook their heads and sighed, secretly making up their minds.

——If Tianzi Qizhen wants Qudi Qi and Huainan, the big guy can persuade you a little bit, and then go down the donkey...
These two families are top-notch, it is really hard to save the gods...

While the officials and officials made up their minds, Liu Sheng was frowning and his mind was spinning rapidly.

——Everything that happened today gave Liu Sheng an indescribably strange feeling!

——Liu Sheng, it seems that he touched something vaguely, but failed to catch it!

Liu Sheng is very sure that he is very close to the 'truth', very close to the real purpose of Tian Ziqi!

only······
"Cutting down the vassal policy, pushing the En policy..."

"Qi Department, Huainan Department..."

"The princes rebelled, armed suppression..."

"Cutting down..."

"Seize Power..."

"Settle accounts after autumn..."

A burst of murmurs that didn't match the words behind the words, only made Liu Pengzu turn sideways full of confusion;

After a while, Liu Sheng, who finally understood the key point, got up from his seat with a confident smile under Liu Pengzu's dumbfounded eyes.

"Young master wins?"

Almost as soon as he got up, Liu Sheng focused hundreds of eyes in the hall on him.

Everyone in the hall seemed unwilling to miss what was about to happen.

——Gongzi Sheng, the first 'voice' uttered on the court instrument of the Xuanshi Palace...

That is, under the attention of all the people, Liu Sheng stepped forward confidently.

Turning sideways, raised his head, and bowed his hands to the emperor Qi on the imperial couch...
"My son wins, report to my father!"
