Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 774
"Let go of the widow!!!"

"The widow is going to Chang'an!!"

"The widow will cut Luan Bu's head off!!"

Looking at Zhao Wang Ruyi, who was still struggling crazily while being tightly hugged by two soldiers, Yuan An only felt a buzzing in his head.

He should have known a long time ago, how could his king miss such a good opportunity to seek death?

After learning of King Jiaodong's verdict, the king directly led his troops into Chang'an without permission. Fortunately, Yuan An reacted in time and stopped him on the way. Things froze, and it was originally used to frighten the local people, but it turned out that they had to be killed.

Yuan An secretly sighed, his hands were trembling slightly.

What a wretched life I am.

Since coming to this country of Zhao, I have not had a good day, and I have been worried all day long.Liu Ruyi was very sad and angry at the moment. He struggled hard, stared at Yuan An in front of him, and cursed: "Let go of me quickly! How can I watch my brother being bullied by others?! If you want to die, let me go first!"

"Emperor Gao's heirs, there are only six sons left today, can't they be compatible?!"

Hearing Liu Ruyi's clamor, Yuan An said helplessly, "My lord, this is just"

He looked around, let the soldiers let go of Liu Ruyi, retreated to a distance, and said in a low voice: "This is the temple's deterrent policy, just to deter the place, just to prevent you from being in the situation you are in now. It happened, you are not saving Jiaodong King, but killing Jiaodong King!!"

"Ah? How could it be to kill him? It's the temple that wants to kill him."

"The temple is just using this attitude to intimidate the local people. If you don't really want to kill him, your majesty will definitely keep him. How can you execute him directly if you haven't committed the crime of treason? Makes sense."

"I don't think you are afraid of being implicated."

Looking at Liu Ruyi's suspicious gaze, Yuan An couldn't bear it anymore, and moved away directly.

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, go now. I'm afraid that as soon as you arrive in Chang'an, the King of Jiaodong will die, and His Majesty will have a headache. When the time comes, please don't regret it, Your Majesty!!"

Liu Ruyi didn't dare to leave at this moment, but frowned, looking very distressed.

"I'm really afraid that the ministers are determined to execute him. If these ministers work together, it will not be easy for them to be released. If there are princes and kings as foreign aid, they may be able to force the ministers to give up such thoughts. Prime Minister, What do you think will happen if I contact the princes and kings from all over the world and write a letter together to protect King Jiaodong?"

"Your Majesty's wonderful plan! With this, the King of Jiaodong will not feel lonely on this journey. With so many princes and kings buried with him, it must be very lively. Please write a letter now, Your Majesty!"

Liu Ruyi was taken aback, and said aggrievedly, "Why are you so sarcastic?"

Yuan An was still a little angry, "Your Majesty, I'm not trying to mock you. Since the border was opened, a large number of people from Tang and Yan have poured into Zhao. The King of Yan has sent a letter asking us to restrict it. Negotiating, this is an excellent opportunity for Zhao Guo. Whether Zhao Guo can rise again and become the most powerful country in the north depends entirely on this move. At this time, you don't listen to advice and insist on going to Chang'an to spoil His Majesty's big event , what if His Majesty gets angry and favors Tang Yan because of this?"

Liu Ruyi was a little helpless, "The widow will wait a little longer, but if the matter of King Jiaodong does not improve, the widow will definitely take action."

"it is good."

The soldiers guarded Liu Ruyi and walked towards Handan again. Yuan Ang shook his head. In fact, Liu Ruyi is not that bad, and he has some advantages. In Zhao State, a very loose system has been implemented all the time, cracking down on tyrants, cracking down on merchants, and encouraging farming and commerce. The folk commerce and handicraft industry in Zhao State have developed extremely fast. the economic core of the North.

Relying on the excellent geographical environment and relaxed political atmosphere, the people in Tang, Dai, Yan and other regions began to migrate. A large number of Yu Ding came here. These frontier countries are now yelling at Zhao Guo because of this problem. They feel that Zhao Guo’s actions are very shameless. The frontier fortress has a shortage of people, and you are still trying to attract people, but Zhao Guo said that it has nothing to do with me, it is the people themselves He came here, and according to the regulations of the temple, the common people have the right to go out, and no one can stop them.

After persuading Liu Ruyi to return to the palace, Yuan An called the great scholar Han Ying.

Now Han Ying is more famous in Zhao country. Ever since he first came to Zhao country and scolded the ministers of Zhao country, countless Zhao people came to him to discuss. Han Ying has indeed lived up to his reputation as a great scholar. , these days, winning consecutive battles, not losing to any opponent in the debate, and becoming famous, many young people immediately switched to the court and began to accept Han Ying's new proposition.

Zhao Guoren is the one who can best absorb the strengths of others. Since Han Ying's opinion is strong, it is natural to learn from him.

This kind of change made the local scholars of Zhao State very dissatisfied, and they united to deal with Han Ying, but after dealing with it like this, Han Ying's status became higher and higher, and there were more and more disciples. The fierce confrontation that Zhong Tianxia said.

When Han Ying arrived, his voice was a little hoarse.

This is because of the many debates in a row, Yuan An's tone became more amiable, "It's really hard for you these days, it's like this, you probably heard about King Jiaodong, I think Let you stay with the king more, keep an eye on him, and persuade him more, he now thinks you are the number one talented person in the Zhao country, and he will definitely listen to what you say."

Han Ying was a little confused.

Yuan Ang explained: "In recent days, a large number of people have moved to the territory of Zhao State. I have to deal with this matter and negotiate with other counties. I can't stare at the king all day. I have persuaded the king today. , but you also know the character of our king. He is ruthless in admonishment. The key is that he is too ruthless in admonition. He believes in everything he says, and he is afraid that a bad person will come out and say that King Jiaodong is going to die by his side. That bullshit, the king will have to get up and go to Chang'an again, I feel more at ease if you stay and watch him."

Han Ying understood, and asked again: "Then what if I can't persuade the King?"

"Isn't there an old Confucian beside you? Just let him subdue the king. I am the prime minister, so I can't do anything to the king. You are sent by the temple, so don't be afraid of this."

"No matter what, you must keep the king. You must not let the king leave Handan. Once he goes to Chang'an, something big will happen."

"only!!"

After arranging these things, Yuan Ang just returned to his mansion. Just after returning to the mansion, there were seven or eight officials waiting at the door. Their accents were different and their clothes were different. negotiated.

Seeing him, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom couldn't help but become sharper, "Yuan Xiang! Don't think that you can avoid us. If you don't respond, our king will block the road and don't allow anyone People have entered and exited the country of Zhao!!"

Yuan Ang laughed, "I'm not avoiding, it's a major event in the country, come on, come on in first, how can anyone stand outside to discuss major issues?"

Inviting everyone to enter the inner room, Yuan An showed great courtesy to them.

"This matter really has nothing to do with Zhao State. Yan State is cold, Tang State is dry, and Zhao State's climate and soil are better. Moreover, Zhao State has a good economy recently. Many shops need manpower to open their doors. There is a lot of vacancies, the public security is good, and the people come here voluntarily, what can I do?"

"Your Majesty has already issued an order not to prevent the people from going to other places, and not to imitate Qin's tyranny. You don't want to think of ways to improve the situation in this county, but you want to come to me to ask for guilt. What is the reason?"

The Tang people on the side couldn't sit still anymore, and said: "Yuan Xiang! Don't make yourself mistaken. Your Majesty has been implementing the policy of relocating people to the frontier fortresses, and constantly enriching the population of the frontier fortresses. We have a shortage of people. Migrating here, you are now absorbing the population of the frontier fortress into Zhao Guolai, which is an order against the temple! As for you saying that it has nothing to do with Zhao Guo, why does Zhao Guo go around to publicize the situation of Zhao Guo, and open the road on its own initiative? Taking the initiative to arrange errands is clearly plundering people!!!”

"What you said is too harsh, how can this be considered a robbery?"

No matter what the other party said, Yuan An just went around in circles with him and refused to give an accurate answer.

In Zhao Wang's palace, Han Ying also managed to appease Zhao Wang Ruyi.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, King Jiaodong made a big mistake this time. He ignored His Majesty. His Majesty will punish him a little, but he won't take his life."

Listening to Han Ying's explanation, Liu Ruyi said with emotion: "Why do I have such a hard life? Among the many brothers, there is no one who is reliable."

After speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and murmured: "By the way, I don't have an elder brother."

"There are only a group of incompetent younger brothers."

Han Ying was silent for a moment, before he said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, maybe the king of Jiaodong has been released now."

"Brother Seven, help me!!"

Liu Jian came forward crying and howled, and hugged Liu Chang's leg, his eyes full of fear.

"Luan Bu is crazy! He wants to kill me!!"

Liu Chang grabbed the back of his neck, pulled him up, glared at him viciously, and cursed, "Is Luan Bu crazy? I think you are crazy!"

"Who gave you the right to be an automatic soldier? You don't need evidence to arrest people, do you? Want to kill all the merchants in the country? Look at what you have caused!!"

Liu Jian looked at him aggrievedly, "Brother, they minted coins privately and bribed a lot of officials, making it impossible for me to deal with them."

"Are you literate?!"

"certainly."

"Then why don't you write to me, why don't you seek help from the temple? Why do you do things privately?"

"I don't want to bother you"

"Trouble me? That's why you made the decision for me, right? Do you want to help me make this emperor too? I don't need to bother!"

Liu Jian lowered his head, speechless.

Liu Chang stretched out his hand and hammered him on the chest, "Speak!"

Liu Jian took a few steps back in pain, and said cautiously, "Don't dare."

Liu Chang kicked him on the ass again, Liu Jian shook and stepped back again, "Brother, don't get angry, I know I was wrong"

"All of you, you only know how to make trouble for me. Fortunately, I'm just a younger brother like you. If there are more younger brothers, wouldn't I be pissed to death?"

"Third and fourth brothers didn't die of anger either."

"To shut up!!"

Today, Liu Jian finally left the prison and was taken to the Hall of Houde. When he first came in, he was beaten twice. He didn't suffer in the prison, but he was beaten after he came out.Liu Chang stroked his chin, "Everyone pleaded for you, even your two sons said they would die for you, I gave the order to Luan Bu, and took a lot of effort to reduce your punishment, take it back Several counties of yours, in addition, you have to stay in Chang'an for three years, and then confess your mistakes in front of the ancestral temple. After three years, depending on your situation, if you realize your mistakes, then send them to King Jiaodong. country!!"

Liu Jian breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that his verdict had changed.

"Okay, then how do I deal with that traitor?"

"Distribute Xia Guo for two years!"

"Why is it only two years?"

"Crack~~~"

Liu Chang slapped Liu Jian on the head again, and Liu Jian didn't dare to talk anymore.

The two brothers sat down again, and Liu Chang frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liu Jian was silent for a long time. Seeing that Liu Chang remained silent, he couldn't help asking, "Brother, what are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering who to send to take over your mess in Jiaodong!"

"Brother, I recommend someone!"

"Who can you recommend?"

"Wen Party!"

Liu Chang was a little surprised, and asked suspiciously: "How did you know Wen Dang??"

Liu Jian said proudly: "When I was arrested and rushed to Chang'an, I passed by the land of Heluo. From a distance, I saw officials leading the people to dig canals. The officials worked harder than those civilians. The soldiers told me, Wen Dang, the county guard there, is a very powerful person, you brought him back from Zhao State, if you let such a person go to Jiaodong State, I will rest assured."

Liu Chang pondered for a while. This Wendang is only in his early 20s. Although he is really capable in governing the region, he just became a county governor not long ago, and now he is the prime minister of the state, leading a large and wealthy country. Will this progress be a little too big?

Liu Chang quickly made a decision. He glanced at Liu Jian and scolded: "You are quite discerning, you don't care about these things! Get the hell out of here now! Go and apologize to my mother first! ! Then you have to apologize to the ministers!"

"I see."

After Liu Jian was kicked out, he first went to visit Empress Lu, who was not close to him, and only reprimanded him a few words before letting him go.

Liu Jian went to meet with the domestic ministers again, and sincerely pleaded guilty.

Except for Luan Bu who closed the door, the other ministers also received him respectfully.

This incident still shocked the princes and kings everywhere, so that no one dared to take it lightly, and Luan Bu also replaced Lu Jia and became the new fishing minister of the court!

When Liu Jian returned to his mansion, King Beidi and King Xia immediately came to see him.

Liu Jian still loves these two Shuzi very much, especially when he learned that they asked to die for him, he was extremely moved.

"Hey, thanks to you this time, if it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I would have died in the hands of Luan Bu!"

Liu Ci shook his head, "Why did Father Zhong say such things? You are our elders, and this is what we should do. It's a pity that my Xia country is too poor and I don't have the strength to rescue you, so I can only use this method."

Hearing his younger brother's words, Liu Liang couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Father Zhong, in fact, Duke Luan didn't dare to kill you. I only found out later that he took me to his mansion to gain fame. It is a big mistake to use you to gain fame, and I am here this time to apologize to you."

Hearing Liu Liang tell the truth, Liu Ci's face was full of helplessness.

But Liu Jian laughed, "It's okay, it's okay, it's not easy for you two, I only get beaten every few years, you two get beaten every day, is Luan Bu really going to kill me?" , it’s not important anymore, anyway, I’m fine now, if this matter can benefit you, it’s worth it. Both of you are poor countries, but don’t worry, I’ll return to Jiaodong after three years, When the time comes, I will do my best to help the two of you, Zhuzi.”

While the three of them were chatting, a soldier suddenly came in to report.

It turned out that Prince Liu An came.

After Liu An came in, he took a look at his two younger brothers, paid his respects to Zhong's father, and then sat aside.

"Father Zhong, are you alright?"

"All right?? I just got out of prison, why is it all right?"

Liu An smiled wryly, "Father Zhong, you can't blame others for this. The temple has nothing to do with your behavior. It can only make you suffer. Father has suffered a lot for letting you out this time." Prime Minister Luan has complained so far, always telling the officials that this matter is unreasonable. I came here this time because I wanted to ask Father Zhong for help."

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Father Zhong, please be seriously ill."

"what??"

Liu Jian's eyes widened and he didn't understand Liu An's meaning at all.

Liu An said with a smile: "Father Zhong, all the ministers now feel that the punishment is too light and they want to harm you. If you can get seriously ill and stay at home for a long time, pretending to be fooled by the prison If you look exhausted, the officials will naturally let you go, and will not pursue these matters any more. You will stay at home for a while, saying that you are recuperating from illness, and keep a low profile until the limelight of this incident passes. Come out again."

Liu Jian was thoughtful, "Yes, you are right, you can't be missed by these people, even if you are sick!"

Liu An ordered some more things, and then left here with his two younger brothers. As soon as he walked out of the mansion, Liu Ci couldn't help asking: "Brother, why did you let Father Zhong pretend to be sick? Is it really to avoid the officials? "

Liu An narrowed his eyes and shook his head slowly.

"Father swung the stick high and frightened a few times, but the fall was too light, so inappropriate. I just wanted to increase the force a little bit. Father Zhong pretended to be sick, and the princes everywhere didn't know he was faking it. , only if you have suffered a serious crime in prison. This can have a real deterrent effect."

Liu Ci suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "As expected of the big brother, you are really cunning, insidious and sophisticated!!"
