The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 314 Handan reaction

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty received Huo Qubing's letter, his lips turned white, his whole body trembled slightly, and he was terrified.

He glanced at Wei Ning in shock and sighed sincerely: "You saved Qu Bing's life!"

Only then did Weining see the letter from Huo Qubing. As he thought, the army had just entered the Shu Kingdom... It should be said that they were already infected with the plague before they entered the Shu Kingdom.

If Huo Qubing marched with the army, what came back now would not be Huo Qubing's letter, but Huo Qubing's obituary.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seemed to be making some decision, his eyes were blood red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Go and give the order! Recall Huo Qubing to Chang'an!"

There is no need for him to perform any meritorious service. No matter what outsiders think of him as an emperor, he is determined to favor Huo Qubing and no one can stop him.

If something really happened to Huo Qubing, he would regret it to death. The disaster was not caused now, and God simply gave him one more chance.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said sternly: "Order to go to Handan, Zhao Kingdom! Let Zhao King Liu Pengzu enforce martial law throughout the city to prevent possible earth dragons from turning over in Handan."

If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had been doubtful about Weining's words before, Huo Qubing's incident forced Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to believe in Weining's judgment.

Regardless of whether there is an earth dragon turning over in Bashang now, a trip to Handan is needed to warn.

……

Zhao State, Handan County.

King Zhao's name was Liu Pengzu, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty Liu Qi, and the younger brother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che.

Liu Pengzu was a clever and sycophantic man, and his sophistry hurt others. Now only thirty years old, his control over Zhao has reached an abnormal level.

The Prime Minister has never been in office for more than two years. Anyone who does not conform to his ideas will even be slandered and said to be wrong. As long as he is accused, the person will be sentenced to death or directly killed.

His eldest son Liu Dan had an affair with his own sisters for a long time. Under Liu Pengzu's governance, the entire Zhao Kingdom suffered from the collapse of rituals and music and made the people miserable.

The Han Dynasty governed the country with a system of prefectures, but this system of prefectures only exacerbated the hardships of the local people. If they met a wise king, the people would naturally be grateful, but how many such kings could really appear?

Almost a handful.

The system of prefectures and states made things convenient for the Liu family, but it made the local people miserable.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been seeking to govern the country and bring harmony to the people. At present, it seems that there is a long way to go.

This morning, Liu Pengzu got up late as usual. He had a night of promiscuous activities last night. Today, his complexion was a little sluggish and his spirit was very tired. The long-term drinking and eating had emptied his body, making his temper even more moody.

Sang Zhiyu, the Prime Minister of the State, came to Liu Pengzu to report something. He cupped his hands and said, "I see you, Your Majesty."

Unlike his predecessor, Sang Zhiyu was a famous Legalist. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had always known that the laws and rituals in Zhao had collapsed, so he sent such a Legalist scholar to help Liu Pengzu govern the people in Zhao.

Sang Zhiyu has been in Zhao for more than a year and has been assisting Liu Pengzu conscientiously.

Liu Pengzu knew that Sang Zhiyu was sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he kept restraining his dissatisfaction.

"What is it?"

Liu Pengzu asked drunkenly.

Sang Xiangguo said hurriedly: "Back to the king, your Royal Highness has received a holy order."

Liu Pengzu was furious and said: "When will Prince Zhao dare to give me an order?"

Sang Zhiyu: "..."

He laughed in anger, but he couldn't let it happen at this time. This pig head actually didn't even know that there was a prince in Chang'an. He indulged in wine ponds and meat forests all day long and ignored political affairs.

If he were not His Majesty's younger brother and the late Emperor's biological son, he would probably be hacked to death when he left society.

Sang Zhiyu hurriedly said: "It's not Prince Zhao Liu Dan, but Prince Liu Ning of Han Dynasty."

Liu Pengzu squinted his eyes, smacked his mouth, and suddenly felt that his mouth was a little dry. He took another sip of wine, shook his head and said, "What is the big prince Liu Ning? Why haven't I heard of this?"

Sang Zhiyu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, be careful with your words and deeds!"

Liu Pengzu glanced at him and said: "Idiot!" I don't know whether this idiot was scolding Prime Minister Sang or the prince of Chang'an.

"Tell me, what is the purpose of the letter from Prince Chang'an to this king?"

Sang Guoxiang said hurriedly: "Back to the king, the prince asked you to enforce martial law in Handan and make every household beware of the earth dragon turning over."

Liu Pengzu smiled and said, "Oh, I understand."

So that’s what happened, then it’s okay.

Sang Guoxiang knew that he didn't take this matter to heart at all, so he had to remind him in a more serious tone: "The prince said that if something goes wrong, your sin will be unpardonable."

These words made Liu Pengzu immediately unhappy. He became angry and cursed: "What a bullshit prince!"

"How many days has he been the prince? Why have I never heard of this man? His crime is unforgivable. I think he will offend me!"

call!

He breathed a long sigh of relief, paused, and asked Sang Guoxiang: "Okay, I just lost my temper and made drunken remarks. Don't say nonsense."

He could not leave the State of Zhao, and no one could leave the State of Zhao without his order.

"Why does he want me to enforce martial law?"

Prime Minister Sang told Liu Pengzu exactly what Wei Ning said, and Liu Pengzu was furious after hearing this.

What does this mean?

Does he mean to tell the people in Zhao State to stop doing anything?

I don’t need to hold a banquet to enjoy myself? Keep an eye on the people every day to prevent them from sleeping too much?

How will Zhao State run its business in the future? Where does his money and taxes come from?

What a nonsense!

Liu Pengzu waved his hand and said to Sang Guoxiang nonchalantly: "I understand, you can go down."

Then he smiled and said to the eunuchs on the left and right: "Let's play music and then eat wine!"

Sang Guoxiang clasped his fists and continued: "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. If something goes wrong... please take countermeasures as soon as possible."

Liu Pengzu's cheeks had already begun to twitch. He looked at Sang Guoxiang coldly and said: "I understand, this king said! How else to take countermeasures?"

Prime Minister Sang said: "Please ask the king to summon his officials to discuss the prince's order."

boom!

Liu Pengzu threw the wine bottle towards Prime Minister Sang: "This discussion is nonsense!"

Sang Guoxiang bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty! The Han Dynasty is a country of law. A country with good laws will not enter a country that is in danger, and a country with chaos will not live in it."

"If Zhao continues to be like this, who will dare to come in from now on?"

"The laws of the people have collapsed, thieves are everywhere, the king turns a blind eye, and the wine ponds and meat forests are all day long. Isn't this the same as the Shang Dynasty, Zhou Dynasty and Xia Jie?"

Liu Pengzu was really angry. He shouted hysterically: "Someone! Someone!"

"Cook this old thief for me!"

"Since he said that this king is Shang Zhou and Xia Jie, then I will do it for him! Steam him alive!"

"When did he change his story and when did he let him go! I want to see how tough your mouth is!"

"Here!"

Several soldiers rushed in, grabbed Prime Minister Sang and headed outside. Prime Minister Sang cursed: "You dare to disobey the prince's order. This is a big crime, this is a big crime! You will definitely have retribution one day!"

"Slap his mouth, slap his mouth! Don't let him speak! Don't let him speak!"

"Ah!!! Ah! I'm so angry with this king! I'm so angry with this king! This cheap slave and a bitch deserves to be killed!"
