Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 658 Cut down the feudal clan!Cut Fan!
"He's leaving tomorrow. He's been with Jianchenghou all day for the past few days. People under his command said that they saw that he was very respectful to Jianchenghou, and even bowed to him to let Jianchenghou go first."

Zhao Yu whispered about the situation he had investigated.

Chao Cuo gritted his teeth, his eyes became a little fierce.

"Why did you come to confront the temple? This guy clearly has his own plans. None of these people want to contribute to the temple. They are all thinking of themselves, selfish, greedy and shameless. Yan already has such a territory. He is not satisfied yet, he still wants to come to the temple to make friends with important ministers, these people will meet sooner or later."

Chao Cuo's voice became lower and lower, and even Zhao Yu couldn't hear the last few words clearly.

Zhao Yu said solemnly: "Duke Chao, let's give up. Your Majesty has no intention of dealing with the king at all, not even restricting them. Without your majesty's support, we will definitely lose, and there is no chance of winning. It’s hard to deal with, His Majesty is still on their side.”

"madness!"

Chao Cuo glanced at him, and said with some displeasure: "Your Majesty has great affection and is unwilling to deal with them, but he may not be willing to restrict them. In order to expand the territory and govern the great Han, His Majesty has completely relaxed his treatment of the princes these days. The many restrictions of the king have created such a powerful vassal state. If these vassal states are united, even the temples will not dare to say that they will win. But your majesty is no longer young. You are already a father, and you should think about it. Thinking about the future."

"His Royal Highness may be able to restrain these people, but can His Majesty's beloved grandson be able to restrain these people?"

"Emperor Gao put an end to the troubled times, and managed to achieve the current great unification, but His Majesty has forgotten the tragedies of the past. If the current situation continues, within a hundred years, the age of Spring and Autumn will reappear in the world. It is an even more terrifying chaotic world, so how many people will die? The problem of princes must be ended in our generation. This is not something that can be given up if His Majesty supports them. If His Majesty does not support us, then we will find someone who is willing to support us people."

"Patriarch, the time is over now."

Chao Cuo said displeasedly: "Your Highness, the reason why I came here is because of His Majesty's orders."

"Come to the temple to confront."

Liu An's eyes were red, and his face was still a bit dazed. Looking at Chao Cuo who was kneeling in front of him, he was still a little dizzy.

"Your Majesty asked me to assist King Yan, whether I want to or not, I'm afraid Chao Cuo has already regarded me as an enemy."

Feng Tang was also awakened. Feng Tang's condition was better, and he looked at Chao Cuo suspiciously at the moment.

Chao Cuo let out a long sigh, and then got up, "Your Highness, please make a plan for this matter early. The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be. If it can be done, it can be exchanged for the resignation of the 200-year-old An Ningchen!"

Chao Cuo got into the carriage and hurriedly ordered: "Go to the Prince's Mansion!!"

"Slowly convince His Majesty, I believe that the birth of Huang Sunqian will definitely have a certain impact on His Majesty. We must seize this opportunity!"

Liu Chang nodded, "Yes, a prince is a double-edged sword. If he meets a king like me, he can become the sharp edge of the country. If he meets a king who is not qualified, then they will immediately eat back everything." All policies are like this, there is no perfect policy, what the king has to do is to avoid these disadvantages, of course what Chao Cuo said is also reasonable, the princes have to limit it a little bit, at least make them lose the ability to compete with the temple."

"Of course the current King Wai is loyal to you, but who can say clearly what will happen in the future? The power of the King Wai is indeed too large. The navy army of Wu Kingdom may have caught up with the yellow-headed army. And Yan, Qi, Liang, Changsha and other countries combined have far more troops than the Northern Army, with excellent equipment and sufficient food. I am afraid that there will be some big troubles in the future."

Chao Cuo was no longer afraid at this moment, he knelt down in front of Liu Chang seriously, "Your Majesty!! Please allow me to ask you something first."

"Are you playing tricks on me sincerely? Are you the one who can come and leave whenever you want in this Houde Palace?!"

Chao Cuo was a little anxious, pointing at the emperor a few times to ask questions was already very rude, but Liu Chang didn't care, and calmly asked him to go back and think about it.

"Then, when Your Highness was in the temple, the minister wrote to impeach the King Wai, what did the King Wai do?"

"You said."

It's like this every time, as long as it is what he wants, he won't let him do it, but he will let him do what he doesn't like. Are you teaching apprentices or punishing criminals? ?
When Chao Cuo arrived at the palace, the gate of the palace was already closed.

When Chao Cuo came to Houde Hall in a hurry, Liu Chang didn't look very happy.

Chao Cuo snorted coldly, "You think they are unbearable, so what about you? It's nothing more than laughing at fifty steps. After following me for so long, I can't think of any solution when encountering things. I only know how to dictate other people's thoughts. You deserve to be a book boy for a lifetime!"

"What's the important thing for you?"

"Your Highness is smart, how can you not see through it? Your Highness knows it well, and what we are after is the same. Therefore, let's directly discuss how to deal with the king outside!"

Chao Cuo threw out the words he had asked Liu Chang just now.

Liu An's reaction was different from Liu Chang's.

Liu An was very surprised, "What did you say?"

Zhang Tang said very calmly: "If it doesn't work, offend the Queen Mother for no reason, you will be targeted. If it succeeds, it will cause disagreements between the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, and the end will be even worse."

"Your Highness, let's just talk straight. Your Majesty knows about the princes and kings, so I went to him several times. Although he didn't agree, he didn't drive me out, let alone hang me on the wall. This shows that, His Majesty does not object to me doing these things, but he just refuses to take over by himself. I cannot get His Majesty's support, and it is even more impossible to find the Queen Mother. The Taiwei is not here, and Prime Minister Zhang doesn't care about this matter. Therefore, what I can look for People, only Your Highness."

"Chao Cuo, don't worry. It's getting late today, you should go back and rest first."

But Liu An still pretended not to care, "These fathers dote on me very much, and I respect them very much. Why do you need to say these things to me? Now there is a father in the temple to handle important matters. You You can go to Father to discuss it."

"I don't want to talk about my elegance, but I will come tomorrow? Have you adjusted the timing?!"

His face quickly became a little nervous, and his brows were slightly wrinkled.

"Do you think Chao Cuo is right?"

Chao Cuo is not afraid at all, "I am a king, so I have nothing to fear. If it can be done, His Highness will pull me out and behead me, and I will admit it. What I think is the stability of the big man for hundreds of years, not It is my own life. If Your Highness is willing to use me, there are many ways for me to limit the power of the king. We can first limit it through military power. The strength of the princes and kings comes from military power. Therefore, I think the armies of the vassal states should be dismissed, and the troops of the counties and counties should be added to replace them, and the counties and counties should be in charge. As a result of treason, it can be greatly weakened."

Hearing Chao Cuo told the truth, Liu Chang let him go. He stared at Chao Cuo in front of him, shaking his head gently, "Chao Cuo, Chao Cuo, I have never seen you like this in my life. Stubborn people, even the Lv Tingwei back then are not as stubborn as you. I just can’t figure it out, how did my brothers offend you? Why do you insist on catching them? You What exactly do you want to do?!"

On the road, you can see patrolling soldiers. After seeing Chao Cuo's frame, these soldiers rushed to question him.

"No need to talk nonsense! Go now!!"

"The minister came to disturb me in the middle of the night, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Chao Cuo pointed at Zhao Yu and cursed: "You are not as good as the little book boy next to me! Go back and reflect on it!"

"Your Majesty knows that His Majesty has always wanted me to assist you, and he wanted me to serve you. It is proof that you asked me to assist you with the matter of reducing the feudal clan. Your Majesty knows this, so he deliberately delayed until now, just to let me come to you and assist you." , together with you to solve the problems of the princes and kings!!"

"King Yan is leaving soon, and I can only disturb His Highness. I am here to pay my respects at this time. Your Highness, I have something I want to ask you."

Liu Chang flew over immediately, pressed Chao Cuo directly on his body, and locked his throat with his hands.

Zhao Yu seemed to understand a little bit, "Shall we go to the Queen Mother?"

Hearing Chao Cuo's words, Feng Tang stood up abruptly and cursed angrily: "Bold Chao Cuo! Do you want to die?!"

"Looking for the queen mother to suppress His Majesty?? Are you crazy?"

He just cursed secretly in his heart: I am not yet strong, so wait for me if I am strong!

Zhao Yu was also very respectful to Chao Cuo, who had been kind to him for promoting him, and was almost half a teacher. He hurriedly apologized, and then left here cautiously.

"Your Majesty. It's fine. I just miss you too much. I think Your Majesty is quite tired today. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"

It looks like His Majesty is in a bad mood today?
Although Chao Cuo had a hard head, he had suffered too much in these years. When facing His Majesty, he still learned to give in.

Zhang Tang's face changed drastically, and he opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't refute.

Chao Cuo hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty!! I am looking for you to deal with the princes and kings!!!"

Chao Cuo had no choice but to bow again and leave.

Thinking of this, Chao Cuo couldn't sit still.

Liu Chang fell silent for a moment.

Liu An's face suddenly became a little ugly.

Chao Cuo wanted to say something, but in the end he just looked away indignantly, at the "disciple" who was pouring tea with his head down, "Tang, come and tell this little Liuhou why not!"

Zhang Tang didn't have the slightest respect for Chao Cuo. Chao Cuo kept him by his side as a disciple, but after accepting him, he just let him follow him, serve tea and water, change clothes and accompany the car. I didn't teach him anything, just used him as a free coolie, which made Zhang Tang quite unhappy, but following his side for a long time, it's not that there is no gain at all, although Chao Cuo didn't teach him anything. , but Zhang Tang seems to have learned more.

Chao Cuo narrowed his eyes and began to think seriously. This time the crown prince took the initiative to cause conflicts between the princes and the officials. This is the best opportunity. It's extremely bad for me to work together to deal with myself. The best way is to lead the ministers to completely solve the hidden dangers of the big men. Even if they don't kill them, they have to be turned into puppets in the country and no longer pose a threat. Regarding the strength of the temple, Chao Cuo never cared about whether they had the idea of ​​rebellion, he only cared about whether these people had the potential to rebel!
As long as there is enough strength to threaten the temple, even if this person has not committed any disloyalty, he must be weakened in advance. It is difficult to speculate about the affairs of this world, and all bad possibilities must be prevented.

Chao Cuo waved his hand in disappointment, and left the inner room directly, leaving only a stunned Zhang Tang, the smile on his face didn't even fade away, are you still human? ? ?

Lu Lu stood not far away, listening to the conversation between the two.

He said, turned and left Houde Hall.

Chao Cuo directly pointed it out, "Your Highness suddenly started to advocate the idea of ​​loyalty to the country, and promoted the unification of the enlightenment books of county schools in various places. Isn't it to restrict the princes and kings? Your Highness wants to let the people of each princely country, especially Scholars have come to identify with the big man, and no longer regard themselves as princes and citizens. Enlightenment is the most important thing. I have read the unified textbook compiled by His Highness. There are only big men in the words. I know His Highness’s thoughts, and His Highness should also I know my minister's proposition"

Watching Chao Cuo leave, Lu Lu suddenly said, "Your Majesty, in fact, what Chao Cuo said is not completely unreasonable."

"They sent someone to plead guilty."

At this point in time, even Sangong can't come directly to see His Majesty, he needs to report from his servants. The soldiers were very helpless, and finally sent someone to notify Lu Lu. After Lu Lu informed Liu Chang, the soldiers released them.

Liu Chang was taken aback for a moment, "Didn't you never meddle in Wai Wang's affairs?"

Zhao Yu frowned, "What's wrong with this? The queen mother has never liked the king outside. If we can get the support of the queen mother, we will have enough skills to deal with those people, and your majesty dare not easily object."

Looking at Liu Chang's unkind eyes, Chao Cuo swallowed.

He wants to go to the Hall of Houde again, and now there is another variable in the temple. Liu Qian was born, and the birth of the emperor's eldest grandson is a purely happy event in the eyes of others, but here in Chao Cuo, it is the best. Opportunity is a good opportunity to convince His Majesty!

Chao Cuo is different from other ministers. Facing other ministers, if the soldiers interrogate them, they will be very angry, thinking that the soldiers despise themselves, but facing Chao Cuo, if they do not interrogate, he will be very angry, thinking that the soldiers are negligent duty.

"We'll discuss this again tomorrow."

Zhang Tang looked outside and asked suspiciously: "It's already dark, where are you going?"

"You want to take me into the palace?? Of course I am willing to go, I will go now"

"Don't go home."

Chao Cuo immediately decided to avoid it, but these words completely angered Liu Chang in front of him.

"I'm really stupid. If Chao Gong didn't say it clearly, I really didn't think of these things."

"If you don't make it clear to me today, I will definitely marry you!!"

He squinted his eyes and suddenly laughed, "At that time, no one should impeach the princes and kings anymore, right? The country of Yan is very big, right? There are seven counties in total, but when the power of paper is settled, the country of Yan will at least change. If it is five yuan, and when you move to a higher position, the five yuan may become dozens of yuan, what threat can it pose to the temple? Who else will impeach the foreign king?"

It's just that as a foreign relative, he can't participate in this kind of conversation, and only the iron-headed boy like Chao Cuo dares to discuss with the emperor what will happen after the emperor's death. It's impossible to be imprisoned, even if you don't imprison, you will inevitably settle accounts after autumn.

"You want to go? Forget it, just wait for me here with peace of mind."

Lu Lu was shocked, "Then why did Your Majesty drive Chao Cuo out?"

Is this San Gong crazy?Come to me in the middle of the night to discuss important matters? ?
Are you planning to drag me into rebellion or what?
The dignified Sangong came to conspire with the prince in the middle of the night, and if the news got out, the Ting Wei could arrest him without having to interrogate him.

"Imperial Palace, do you want to follow me to have a look?"

Before Chao Cuo arrived, he was discussing some knowledge with the three wives. When the discussion was at its most intense, he was suddenly interrupted, saying that Chao Cuo had come, and Liu Chang was furious. He was about to exile Chao Cuo to Da... Xia Guo has gone.

What Chao Cuo said was simply pointing at Liu An's nose and calling him a hypocrite, telling him not to pretend and to do things directly.

"When Your Majesty was in the temple, the ministers wrote a letter to impeach the Wai Wang. How did the Wai Kings do it?"

But Liu An laughed and persuaded Feng Tang who was on the side.

"Then I dare to ask, when the emperor's grandson moved to the temple, if someone like a minister wrote a letter to impeach the king, what would the king do?"

After having a son, he could no longer take this issue lightly.

But no matter how Chao Cuo persuaded him, he failed to convince the stubborn emperor.

He got up in a hurry and asked people to prepare the carriage.

He said faintly: "Mr. Chao, sometimes you can't understand too much as a human being. There are some things that you know are all right, but it's better not to say them out loud, or you may bring yourself into big trouble."

Chao Cuo shook his head, "Tweeting grace takes time, but now the expansion speed of the princes is obviously faster than that of tweeting, I'm afraid that instead of making the vassal state weaker, it will make the princes all over the country weaker." There are more and more tyrannical, and when they unite, I don't believe that no one will not impeach them."

Lu Lu looked at Liu Chang thoughtfully, could it be that His Majesty is
It was already dark when we left the palace.

Zhang Tang curled his lips and looked at Zhao Yu who was leaving, "You just want to use these people to defeat the king? You might as well be your Sangong with peace of mind."

Liu Dachang laughed, "Nai Gong will never see the day again, and the foreign king's rebellion, what does it have to do with me? People who are related are not in a hurry, why am I in a hurry?!"

Chao Cuo came fast and left fast.

Liu An looked at Feng Tang who was on the side.

"Feng Gong. Do you think I should agree?"

ps: I encountered some problems with the registration in the afternoon, and then I couldn’t go home to update. I started typing after dinner at home, and there will be another chapter later.
