Father Han Gaozu

Huaiyin Marquis Mansion.

Han Xin sat alone in the courtyard with two glasses of wine in front of him.

Han Xin picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and looked at the sky in the distance. He had a straight face, and there was no smile on his face.

The servant stood not far away, looking at him helplessly, Qu Nihou passed away, but the Marquis of Huaiyin did not go to see him off, even when Qu Nihou was seriously ill, he never looked at him, the servant was very I really can't understand, although the two of them have grievances, but in the near future, they really get along very well, why does the owner of the family want to do this?
While he was pouring the wine, he couldn't help but said: "Patriarch, Marquis Qu Ni has sent someone to invite you again... Are you going to send me off..."

"Pour your wine in peace!"

The servant didn't dare to say anything at once, but just bowed his head to serve Han Xin.

Han Xin didn't know how much he drank, so he sat alone by the edge of the bare tree trunk, humming softly a song that he didn't know where he came from.

The unknown ballad also seemed so bleak at this moment.

Chen Ping passed away. Although he had recuperated for a long time, when he really left this world, it was still so sudden that it was unacceptable.

It took Liu Chang a few days before he finally accepted the matter.

His boss is gone, and no one can bear his notoriety anymore.

The news of Chen Ping's death caused a sensation in the entire Han Dynasty. As the founding minister, Chen Ping's reputation was still very high. Those who bowed their heads to abuse him and cursed him also began to praise his merits at this moment, and all wiped away their tears, expressing that they wanted to give him the best posthumous title.

In fact, Liu Changting hopes to give Chen Ping a character. Qu Ni Wenhou, he is indeed worthy of a character, whether it is the strategy at the time of the founding of the country, or the governance after the founding of the country, or even Liu Chang’s strategy during the period. The strategy specified by Shen Poison is enough to match the previous text.

But the ministers don't seem to want to give it. In the eyes of the ministers, Chen Ping still has a little gap compared with words. There are not a few, so whether it is a document or an offering, it has become a topic of endless controversy in the temple. The ministers explained their ideas to each other, but they were unwilling to back down. They have been arguing until now and have not yet discussed it.

Chen Ping's death dealt a heavy blow to Liu Chang.

Liu Chang was in a daze for several days, and even Liu Ci didn't go to clean up.

Just like before, when Liu Chang felt the most uncomfortable, he always appeared in the hall of longevity accurately, sat in front of his mother, complained to his heart's content, and told the troubles and pains in his heart, but this time, even though he still Sitting in front of the queen mother, she didn't say anything, her eyes were full of loneliness.

Empress Lu knelt down in front of him, also silent for a long time.

Although Empress Lu was more wary of Chen Ping, she also respected this unparalleled national scholar with extraordinary abilities. This was the only minister who made her feel threatened, and also the minister who made her unable to grasp any handles. The last counselor is Chen Xiang, who is determined to plan the world. …

"Would you like some lamb?"

Empress Lu asked, but Liu Chang shook his head.

"Then I'll ask them to make you some wheat rice?"

Liu Chang shook his head again.

"How about some roast beef?"

Liu Chang just nodded.

Soon, the food was brought to Liu Chang. Liu Chang sat in front of his mother, lowered his head, and ate the meat. Empress Lu looked at him with distress, and said to herself: "Life That’s how it is, back and forth, who can live forever?”

"It's just human nature, besides, Chen Hou has suffered so many crimes because of headaches in these years, he is also stubborn, he doesn't want to say more, no matter how painful it is, he just endures it himself, just say, maybe, he is now You still feel that you are liberated, you are still young, you don’t understand, sometimes, death is a luxury.”

"Mom, I understand."

"It's good that you understand. You have to be prepared. Once Chen Hou leaves like this, the officials will start to counterattack."

Liu Chang was taken aback, then raised his head suddenly, "Counterattack?? Aunt, what do you mean?"

"Nong, this is the root of the great man. When you ordered to start business, there was already an uproar among the officials, and the opposition from all over the place was like waves. However, there was a reef like Chen Ping in the past, and they dared not move. He served as food. The chief official of the mansion and all the officials are afraid of offending him. Even if they are reluctant in their hearts, they never dare to object. Now that he is gone, Jia Yi will take his place. Although Jia Yi is a relative of the emperor, he is also your confidant, but He is still not as good as Qu Nihou, and the officials are not afraid of him. Next, the officials will launch an attack on Kaishang. There will be endless riots everywhere. You have to prepare in advance, but you don't want to kill. "

"Just killing people and intimidating them won't make them back down. You have to think of other ways to make them gradually accept it."

Empress Lu said a lot, Liu Chang suddenly realized and nodded.

He cheered up immediately, the loneliness in his eyes disappeared, and he stood up, "Mother, then I will go and make preparations in advance, I will eat it later, and the beef is not so good today. It's delicious, I'll send someone to bring some seasoning!"

Seeing Liu Chang leave in a hurry, Empress Lu shook her head slightly.

My poor child.

Facts have proved that Empress Lu's eyes are still so vicious. Things are just as he said. Chen Ping has just passed away, and his posthumous title has not even appeared yet, but Shihuo Mansion has already begun to suffer various impeachments and fall into various... During the crisis, these ministers seemed to hold back for a long time. When Chen Ping left, they couldn't wait to fire. Jia Yi was also found out by them a lot of black material, including his failure to perform duties, dereliction of duty, and even The impeachments that caused casualties due to dereliction of duty appeared one after another, and Zhang Shizhi immediately began to investigate this matter.

Jia Yi hadn't taken over Shihuo Mansion yet, but he himself was burned out first.

Fortunately, Liu Chang arranged it in time. He quickly found Chao Cuo and asked him to solve the current troubles for Shihuo Mansion. However, he is still very obedient to Liu Chang's orders, and he can be regarded as a special case in the Zhunong faction. He agrees to promote agriculture with business.After he got started, he quickly fought with the ministers who launched the attack. The battle between the two sides started from the temple and spread to various places, even the merchants were swept in, and even Lu Lu's industry was affected. Once upon a time. …

Lu Lu turned around in a hurry, while Liu Chang was furious.

"These old dogs!! Don't dare to provoke Qu Nihou, but dare to provoke me, right? It's easy to bully me?!"

"I'll let Zhang Busu arrest him now!!"

"Your Majesty, no!"

Ji Bu hurriedly stood in front of Liu Chang, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, it's not yet this level, you can let me handle it first, and if I don't handle it properly, then let Zhang Buyi come!"

Zhang Buyi is already a blockbuster in Liu Chang's hands. Whether it was Zhou Chang back then or Ji Bu and the others now, as long as Liu Chang said that he would send Zhang Buyi out, everyone would be afraid. Trembling, this guy is not as aggressive as Chao Cuo on weekdays, but if he really got the emperor's order, then Chao Cuo would have to back away when he saw him.

This mad dog cannot be let out.

Ji Bu managed to appease Liu Chang, and left in a hurry.

Liu Chang sat in the upper position angrily, looking at no one pleasing to the eye. Lu Lu knew that His Majesty would usually vent his anger on the people around him at such times, so he lowered his head and kept a low profile, letting His Majesty ignore him.

However, Liu Chang still took a fancy to him.

"Lu!! What are you still doing here? Why don't you call Jia Yi and Zhang Shizhi over here!!"

"You know you're standing here all day long! If I don't talk, you won't be able to do things?!"

Lu Lu could only admit that he was unlucky, and hurriedly admitted his mistake, and then hurried out to call for someone to go.

Liu Chang's eyes were full of anger, he had long thought of using Chen Ping to handle the business, and he also used Chen Ping

Ping used his prestige to suppress these ministers, but he really did not expect that the ministers were so opposed to opening up business, and Chen Ping still had such a huge power. !
While Liu Chang was meditating, Jia Yi and Zhang Shizhi arrived one after another.

Jia Yi's complexion was pale, his eye sockets were swollen, and he looked extremely tired. These days, he was really numb by those ministers. These people didn't know how much black material they had found on him. They kept it for so long, and suddenly broke out , Jia Yi's reputation is like a bird with broken wings, which suddenly fell from the sky and fell towards the ground. In less than five days, his reputation has already begun to be similar to that of Chao Cuo and the others. What is this? Shame.

I am a dignified Confucian, but I have to be insulted like this.

The ministers had calculated everything, even Zhang Cang was in their calculations. They calculated the relationship between Zhang Cang and Jia Yi, and wrote a letter asking Zhang Cang to avoid all impeachment related to Jia Yi. Zhang Cang wanted to intervene. There are some difficulties, after all, it is his relatives, Jia Yi's son has been arrested by Ting Wei, and his son has also become a breakthrough, and many things have been found out, although they are all trivial, but they can't stand him. special book.

Jia Yi had a very bad time these days, and when he saw Liu Chang, he also had mixed feelings in his heart.

As for Zhang Shizhi, he still raised his head with a resolute look.

Liu Chang first looked at Jia Yi. Seeing that his family had become so haggard, he felt extremely distressed. He cursed angrily: "I really can't understand these old dogs. They are so afraid of Qu Nihou. , why aren’t you afraid of me?”…

Jia Yi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, if they died in your hands, then they died for their own ideas; if they died in the hands of Qu Nihou, they might have died with a bad reputation... Besides, His Majesty does not kill indiscriminately, nor will he kill indiscriminately because of political differences, they just saw this point..."

Liu Chang nodded, and suddenly looked at Zhang Shizhi again. He got up slowly, and walked to Zhang Shizhi step by step, rubbing his fists.

"Shizhi, how do I treat you?"

"Your Majesty's kindness to me is as great as a mountain!"

"Then why do you always help outsiders to bully me?"

"I have always acted according to the law. Whoever makes a mistake, I will deal with that person, never caring about the identity of the other party!"

"Then what if I made a mistake? If I made a big mistake, what would you do?"

"Admonish with death!"

Liu Chang almost gritted his teeth in the face of Tie Tingwei, who didn't get into oil and salt. When he started to roll up his sleeves, Jia Yi said: "Your Majesty, this is not about Zhang Tingwei, Zhang Tingwei There is nothing wrong with doing things according to the law, if the subject is at fault, the subject is willing to accept the punishment according to the law."

Liu Chang was a little surprised, "He even imprisoned your son, and you still speak for him?"

"Zhang Tingwei enforces the law very strictly and is just. If someone framed him, he would never wrong my son. If my son really made a mistake, it would be fair for him to deal with it."

Zhang Shizhi had been the court captain for so many years, this was the first time he heard someone speak well of him in the temple, the corners of his mouth trembled, but he didn't say anything.

Liu Chang took a deep look at Zhang Shizhi and gave up his attempt to beat him.

"Forget it, you bastard, you might hurt your fist, go back and continue the interrogation!"

"only!!!"

Zhang Shizhi left quickly, and Liu Chang pulled Jia Yi to sit down, "They listed 53 crimes for Shihuo Mansion, and [-] crimes for you. Officials from all over Shihuo Mansion are like this, and at least there are three. The four crimes, they are going to catch them all at once... Lu Jia, Shen Tujia, Feng Jing, Wang Tianqi, Zhang Meng, local Liu Jing, Chai Wu, Song Chang, Xuan Yi, Qin Tong... this time almost all the veterans They all stand together and have great influence, in fact, both Ji Bu and Luan Bu do not agree with starting a business, but they are not good at speaking because of others, but they do not agree with me."

Liu Chang said helplessly, "I really want to scold them, but they just don't understand and can't understand me."

"The greater the success of the business, the more worried they are, saying that the heavy business will destroy the big man. Alas, I don't know how to deal with it. I blame Qu Nihou! If he is still here, it won't be like this."

Jia Yi squinted his eyes. Today's opponents are indeed extremely powerful.

Countless old ministers in temples and localities are connected together, and only Qu Nihou can be intimidated. If he is not around, the situation will directly get out of control.

"Your Majesty, the only solution now is to delay. I know my own affairs. I have never committed any mistakes. I will prove myself first, and then come to rescue Shihuo Mansion. As long as we can resist this After a wave of shock, it will be easy to handle.”…

"But how do you get over it?"

"These people come to see me every day, and none of them are afraid of death. It's fine if they're younger. At Lu Jia's age, it's not appropriate for me to beat him up? What if I beat him to death?"

The reason for such a situation is because the cake of opening a business is too big, talking about hype, talking about the national policy of emphasizing agriculture, well, maybe many of them really think so, but there are many others who feel that Starting a business blocks one's own way of making money, for example, the business of poisoning, private business opening will naturally affect the competitiveness of the big bosses, a liquid market is not easy to monopolize, they want to continue their monopoly position, all All the businesses should be done by themselves. The folks, just farm. How can they earn money?
Especially that Lu Lu, why does he earn so much? ?
When their interests were touched, these people became a little crazy and would rather take the risk of being killed.

Liu Chang is very aware of this truth, he really wants to get rid of these miscellaneous things, but there are indeed many of these people who really support the heavy agriculture, rather than seeking their own interests, so we can't do it together with them, right?

The more Liu Chang thought about it, the angrier he became, he stood up abruptly and shouted: "If these people dare to persecute, I will go to Changle Palace and call my mother out to manage the Shihuo Mansion. I see if these people dare to do this again against!!"

Jia Yi smiled wryly and said, "Daddy is old, how can she come out to do things..."

Liu Chang was about to say something when he suddenly froze, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he slowly looked at Jia Yi.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"I've already settled this matter."

"what???"

"Okay, go back and rest. Chaoyi will come early tomorrow, and you will know when the time comes."

Jia Yi was confused, but he still left Houde Hall.

The next day, all the ministers gathered at the gate of the palace, and they were all very happy. This was the first time they had achieved such an effective attack against the emperor. They were suppressed by Qu Nihou for too long. Now, they can finally formally propose their own Seeing that Jia Yi is retreating steadily and the entire Shihuo Mansion is in danger, their faces are full of smiles that cannot be hidden. This is great. This is the first step. Next, we have to do a lot. Your Majesty A wise king, we can no longer let him be bewitched by female thieves like Jia Yi. Qu Nihou is gone, so we should help His Majesty and manage the big man well!

Under the leadership of Zhang Cang, the officials walked into the Xuanshi Hall, and Liu Chang had been waiting for a long time.

All the ministers have too many things they want to play, and they want to completely overthrow Jia Yi today.

After Jia Yi fell, it was the entire Shihuo Mansion!

The officials were eager to try, and they were all ready to write a letter.

At this time, Liu Chang said: "Dear dears, I am extremely saddened by the passing of Qu Nihou, but the Shihuo Mansion cannot be left alone for a day, I have thought about it, and must arrange someone to be the Shihuo order as soon as possible! "

"Where is the lieutenant?"

A strong man stepped out from the crowd, looked at the emperor, "The minister is here."

"Today, I ask you to serve as the order of food and goods."

"only."

Han Xin took the edict and turned around, looking at the officials.

At that moment, the entire temple was silent, and the ministers were like chickens and ducks being strangled, staring straight at Han Xin without saying a word.

Lu Jia hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, no, this captain doesn't understand...

'

"Huh?? What do you think I don't understand?!"

"I...the captain is old...the captain...he..."

Lu Jia slowly closed his mouth and returned to his seat.

Liu Chang grinned, "Very well, then it's decided like this, dear friends, is there anything else you want to play?"

At this moment, the officials seemed to have swallowed a fly, their expressions were extremely bad, and they did not say a word.

"By the way, the posthumous title of Marquis Qu Ni hasn't been decided yet, has it?"

"Your Majesty, if there isn't one, some people speak Japanese, and some people say offerings. It's really hard to be sure..."

"What's so uncertain about this? Since the debate is endless, I'll think of a way. How about this, we use both sides, and call it Qu Ni Wenwenhou!"

"what???"

"No! Your Majesty!!"
