Da Qin: Self-destruction and time travel, I will extend my life for Qin for a thousand years

Chapter 150 Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty?The Great Han Chess Saint!

"Cui Shenxian, please tell me this answer."

Liu Heng was very concerned about this issue and even took the initiative to pour tea for Cui Yuan to show respect.

Liu Bang nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Lao Si wanted to make arrangements in advance to avoid any surprises during the transfer of imperial power.

Cui Yuan had a different view. He always felt that Liu Heng just wanted to quickly find a tool son to help him handle national affairs.

Just like Ying Zheng left everything to Fusu, he implemented the monarchy offline system.

Cui Yuan took the tea. His hands were too short to expose the matter.

In fact, he didn't know much about things in the early Han Dynasty in his previous life, but he was deeply impressed by Liu Heng's successor, Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty.

Who makes him the great chess master of the Han Dynasty!
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured."

"Unlike many previous accidents, the succession to the throne after your death went smoothly. The emperor after you will be the crown prince you established - Liu Qi."

"Is it Qi'er? That's great!"

Liu Heng breathed a sigh of relief. The future Emperor Wen of Han was most worried about repeating the mistakes of his father and the First Emperor and having an accident on the throne after his death.

Now that Cui Yuan confirmed that his next emperor would be Liu Qi, the biggest stone in his heart fell to the ground.

When Liu Qi was born, he was still the king of Dai.

Liu Qi was actually only the middle among Liu Heng's sons, and was not even the daughter of the queen.

However, after Liu Heng was proclaimed emperor by Empress Lu, several of the sons born to the empress died of illness one after another, and they were unable to become the prince.

Until Empress Lu died of illness and a few months after Liu Heng ascended the throne, the ministers asked for a crown prince. Among Liu Heng's remaining sons, only Liu Qi was the eldest.

That's why he was made the crown prince, and his mother Dou was made the queen. In order to train Liu Qi, Liu Heng appointed Zhang Xiangru and Shi Fen as the crown prince and tutor.

Since the crown prince succeeded to the throne, the possibility of any accidents to the imperial power was extremely slim.

"This puts me at ease. Is Qi'er still qualified for his job as emperor?"

"Forget it, later generations will call the rule of His Majesty and Liu Qi the rule of Wenjing. It is one of the famous governance in Chinese history."

Cui Yuan glanced at Liu Heng, who was full of pride, and continued: "But these are nothing in front of his name as the master of Liubo chess."

grandmaster! ?
Hearing this, Liu Heng, who was still proud at first, was slightly startled.

He also knew that Qi'er liked Liubo chess. He often played chess with several princes and tutors, and he also played a few games against Liu Qi.

But in terms of level, I don’t know what to say.

The chess skills of Zhang Xiangru and Shi Fen were unclear, but Liu Heng knew that although his chess skills were not earth-shattering, they were at least stinky.

In this way, even though he deliberately let himself go, Liu Qi still had a hard time winning.

"Cui Shenxian, don't be joking. With Qi'er's Liubo chess level, he can only bully the maids and eunuchs in the palace who have not read any books. What does it have to do with the chess master?"

Liu Heng shook his head, thinking that Cui Yuan was talking nonsense.

When Ying Zheng on the other side saw Cui Yuan talking like this, he had skillfully taken the wicker chair from the door of time and space, and lay leisurely with Liu Bang, holding ice water in his hand, ready to eat melon.

Liu Heng: "???"

No, why are you two so skilled at this action?
Before he could think more, Cui Yuan laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty, what is the standard for judging the level of playing skills?" Cui Yuan did not explain, but asked Liu Heng.

standard?

After hearing this, Liu Heng thought for a moment and replied uncertainly: "It should be about winning or losing. The more you can win and the stronger your opponent, then you must have superb chess skills."

He felt that what he said was right. The level of chess skills was determined by winning, right?
"Yup!"

Cui Yuan agreed and continued: "So if Liu Qi can continue to win in the future and scare everyone who plays against him into surrendering, wouldn't he be a great Han chess master?"

"It makes perfect sense."

"Indeed...wait! Is something wrong?"

Liu Heng nodded instinctively, but soon realized something was wrong.

What does it mean that as long as you scare your opponent into taking the initiative to recognize him, you can always win?Become a Han chess master?
"Is it possible that Qi'er used his power to force those who were playing chess with him to admit defeat?"

Liu Heng's face looked ugly, and when he thought of the key point, his anger surged!

If you use your power, what kind of game is it?He was simply losing face to himself and the whole man.

"If you just force yourself to admit defeat, it will only become a joke, and you won't be praised so much by future generations."

Cui Yuan shook his head in denial and continued: "The reason why Liu Qihui is called the Great Han Chess Saint is because when he was playing chess, in order not to lose, he would smash the people who played against him to death with the chessboard!"

"what!!!"

"Pfft~hahaha!!!"

"Damn it, is my grandson so awesome?"

When Cui Yuan's earth-shattering words came out, not only Liu Heng was dumbfounded, but also Ying Zheng and Liu Bang, who were accustomed to big scenes, were also stunned for a while!
Especially Ying Zheng, who was drinking ice water, spurted out the ice water in one sip!

It's just a chess game. Is it necessary to smash your opponent to death in order to win?
No wonder Cui Yuan killed this Liu Qi in one blow. He is a chess master. With his chess skills, who dares to play chess with him?
"Qi'er!? Qi'er actually did such a thing?"

Liu Heng felt dizzy for a while, not expecting this ending at all.

It's just too funny.

"Who did he smash to death? I must protect this person and not let Qier make the same mistake again."

"I'm afraid you can't protect him, because he is Liu Xian, the eldest son of Wu King Liu Bi." Cui Yuan applied medicine to Liu Heng's collapsed heart, making him collapse even more.

"Liu Xian?? How could it be him?" Liu Heng felt like the sky was falling.

Liu Bi was his cousin, and his son actually smashed his son to death with a chessboard in order not to lose at chess!
Liu Bang also felt his heart twitching. He did not expect that his nephew would have such a miserable fate. His son would actually lose his life because of playing chess.

What kind of absurd reality is this? It’s so outrageous that it opens the door to outrageousness. It’s so outrageous.

"What on earth is going on? Cui Shenxian, do you remember the relevant description?"

Liu Heng forced himself to calm down and ask clearly what happened.

Cui Yuan explained without any concealment: "This matter can be regarded as an accident."

"When Liu Qichu was the crown prince, Liu Xian, the eldest son of Wu King Liu Bi, came to Beijing to pay a visit and accompanied Liu Qi to drink and play Liubo chess."

"Because Liu Xian's masters were all from Chu, he developed a frivolous and aggressive personality, and he is usually very arrogant."

"So when playing games with Liu Qi, he fought over the moves and his attitude was very disrespectful."

"The young and energetic Liu Qi was so excited that he picked up the chessboard and hit Liu Xian. Unexpectedly, he was killed without paying attention."

"You were very helpless after knowing what happened, so you could only send someone to send his body back to Wu State for burial. But from then on, Liu Bi completely resented Liu Qi."

Cui Yuan remembers this period of history very clearly because it was so dramatic.

The dignified prince would actually kill someone for playing chess.

Although according to historical records, it was Liu Xian who took the initiative to stir up trouble, but no matter how frivolous the opponent was, he did not take action.

Liu Heng sat down helplessly, not paying attention to the object that bumped into the table.At this moment, he didn't know what to say. His prince smashed his brother's prince to death.

This is a bloody situation!

"Hey~"

Liu Heng sighed and stroked his forehead with one hand, feeling that his head was as big as two heads.

"Why would Liu Qi do such a thing? He is usually very well-behaved and obedient!"

"Why? Why!"

Liu Heng couldn't understand that Liu Qi clearly respected his master in front of him, otherwise he wouldn't have made him the prince, and there were many masters to assist him.

Not to mention that he was as wise as Yao and Shun, at least he was a normal person. Why did Liu Qi act like this?
"In fact, Your Majesty, you should know the answer to this question better than anyone else."

"After all, it's your duty."

Cui Yuan reminded and stepped forward to help Liu Qi pick up the government affairs that fell to the ground.

"Am I clear?"

Liu Heng was stunned for a moment, then his face turned ugly: "You mean, Qier wants to... cut down the feudal clan?"

Hearing this word, Ying Zheng was still eating melon on the side, but Liu Bang couldn't sit still.

"Cui Yuan, could it be... is this the Rebellion of the Seven Kings?"

"I've done so much, but it's all useless?"

Liu Bang was very excited. He remembered the note Cui Yuan gave him, which recorded this rebellion.

In order to stop it and prevent fratricide, Liu Bang did a lot of things, such as reducing the fiefdoms of the princes and maintaining the crushing strength of the Han Dynasty.

Even with the help of Cui Yuan, he persuaded Empress Lu to give up suppressing many princes and kings and give up letting Liu Ying become emperor.

But did these changes fail to prevent the rebellion?

"Your Majesty, Gaozu, don't be excited. Your measures will definitely be effective."

"Otherwise, Liu Ying would not still be alive today."

"What I'm talking about is just Liu Qi's choice on the original historical line."

Cui Yuan reminded Liu Bang to relax.

He looked at Liu Heng, who had a gloomy face, and continued: "This is just a guess made by a later generation. It is believed that Liu Qi, as a famous ruler, would not be so stupid that he would beat people to death for just playing chess. .”

"So it is speculated that he wanted to reduce the vassal status, so he used this move to actively provoke the hatred of Wu King Liu Bi and induce him to take the initiative to rebel."

Cui Yuan said what was said by later generations, but Liu Heng's face was still very ugly.

In the final analysis, this is just a guess that has not been recorded in the history books.

But the incident of Liu Qi playing chess and killing Liu Xian was indeed recorded in the history books.

"When I have time, I must discipline this rebellious son well."

This brat must be taught an unforgettable lesson!

"But father, what about the Seven Kings Rebellion you just mentioned?"

Liu Qi frowned and asked: "There are obviously no princes and kings with different surnames in the world today. They are all princes and kings of the Liu family. How could the Seven Kings Rebellion break out?"

Liu Bang was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Cui Yuan came forward to tell the story of the Seven Kings Rebellion for him.

"This matter is actually quite simple. I believe His Majesty can understand it."

"Power is the most deadly poison in the world. In front of it, whether it is family ties or friendships, they are vulnerable."

"Just like your father, in order to protect the Han Dynasty and let Liu Ying ascend the throne, why not execute the old brothers one by one?"

Hearing this, Liu Bang's face turned red, but he couldn't refute a word.

This matter is indeed his fault!
"The same reasoning."

"If Your Majesty dies young and only lives to be more than 40 years old, then Liu Qi will face a group of uncles and uncles who have been crowned kings, not to mention that he killed the most powerful uncle among them because of his youth and frivolity. son!"

"Do you think that in this situation, Liu Qi has no other choice besides cutting off the vassal?"

"And once the vassal state is cut, the vassal king will naturally resist, especially Liu Bi!"

"So Liu Bi took up the banner of Qing Jun, and together with the other six princes and kings who were dissatisfied with the reduction of vassals, they started the Rebellion of the Seven Kings!"

After finishing speaking, Cui Yuan looked at Liu Heng, wanting to see his reaction.

Liu Heng didn't react at all, but clenched his fists, showing his extreme inner peace.

"The most ruthless imperial family in the world!"

Liu Bang expressed his heartache for Liu Heng, feeling heartbroken for his son.

Rather than using the knife on his old brother, the people he wants to use the knife on are all members of his Liu family!

Did Liu Qi do something wrong?

Maybe he did something wrong when he killed Liu Xian with a chessboard.

But he didn't do what happened next. He just did what an emperor should do.

If someone threatens the imperial power, then destroy him!No matter this person is an outsider or a relative!
"Isn't there a good solution to this matter?"

Liu Heng ended his silence and said helplessly: "Could it be that the imperial family will eventually fall into endless civil strife?"

Although Empress Lu restrained herself after Cui Yuan's persuasion, the shadow she had left on many princes and kings was still there.

Liu Heng originally thought that after Empress Lu's death, he would be able to live in harmony with his many brothers, especially his eldest brother Liu Ying, who still remained independent of the world.

He never expected that this was just wishful thinking on his part.

As soon as he died, rebellions among the princes and kings broke out, impacting the authority of his son Liu Qi.

Liu Bang and Ying Zheng also fell silent after hearing this.

Liu Heng's problem is also a problem in their hearts.

If the emperor's son canonized, it would threaten the imperial power.

If they are not canonized, these sons will fall into civil strife as they compete for the throne.

Fu Su and Hu Hai under Ying Zheng.

Liu Ying and Liu Ruyi are under Liu Bang.

Even Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was a clear representative of seeking power and usurping the throne, taking away the throne of his eldest brother Li Jiancheng.

There doesn't really seem to be any good solution to this problem.

"Actually, it's not true, it just depends on how much effort you are willing to put into this."
