I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 121 Blood debt, blood payment...

Under the deliberate suppression of Emperor Qi and Empress Dowager Dou, the royal scandal that should have caused an uproar disappeared like a stone thrown into a lake, and its ripples disappeared in an instant.

I don't know what kind of mentality it is, but Liu Wu, the king of Chu who committed a heinous crime, was not worried about the crime he committed, but instead, Shi Shiran took the king's car and was summoned to Chang'an City.

After Liu Wu arrived in Chang'an City, nothing worthy of attention happened;

——On the day Liu Wu arrived in Chang'an, the emperor Liu Qi received Chu Wang Liu Wu in the Xuanshi Hall according to the usual practice.

During the interview process, the emperor Liu Qi did not mention a word about the "crime" of Liu Wu, the king of Chu;
He only told the old sayings of "caring for the people of the country" and "working hard to govern the country" and so on, so he asked Liu Wu to go to Changle Palace to meet the Queen Mother.

When Liu Wu was ordered to arrive at Changle Palace, Empress Dowager Dou just dismissed the palace staff and criticized King Liu Wu of Chu in private for drinking and having fun during the empress dowager's funeral.

After Liu Wu casually gave a perfunctory explanation of "I didn't receive the news of the Empress Dowager's death at that time", the Empress Dowager Dou didn't pursue it much;
He gave Liu Wu an instruction of 'don't make an example', and asked Liu Wu to prepare. Before returning to Chu, he went to the Taishanghuang Temple, Gaohuang Temple, and Xiantaizong Temple to pay homage to Liu's ancestors.

So far, the matter of King Liu Wu of Chu being summoned to Chang'an for a crime seems to have turned the page.

That jaw-dropping, even infuriating mystery seemed to have been buried in Liu Wu's heart since then.

But just when Liu Wu set off from Chang'an again and embarked on the long journey back to Chu State, in the distant Wu State, an old figure over sixty years old finally let out a vicious neighing like a poisonous snake... ·
·
In the summer and June of the second year of Emperor Qi Xinyuan, the capital of Wu State: Guangling.

The aging Wu Wang Liu Bi stood outside the main hall of his palace, with his hands behind his back, and his gaze was looking towards the far west.

And beside Liu Bi, followed a dignified figure, but in his temperament, there was a faintly stern figure...

"King Chu, really went to Chang'an..."

"—not only went, but even left Chang'an safe and sound;"

"One month at most, King Chu will return to Pengcheng..."

A deep exclamation made the man beside him nod his head sternly, and Wu Wang Liu Bi turned around slowly and looked at the man with a sigh.

"Ying Gao~"

"The emperor of Chang'an, I'm afraid, really can't tolerate me..."

"In order to get rid of me, even the ugly things that Liu Wu did, Chang'an, can already ignore..."

Hearing this, Wu Guozhong doctor Guan Gao shook his head and sighed bitterly, but finally had no choice but to nod his head slowly.

"It is indeed as the king said."

"We disclosed such a scandal to Chang'an, and the emperor of Chang'an was not angry;"

"I'm afraid it's a knife to cut down the feudal clan, it will only be cut on our Wu country, this is only on the head of a family of princes..."

Hearing this, King Wu Liu Bi couldn't help but shook his head again, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

Wu Wang Liu Bi was born in the sixth year of Qin Shihuang, which is the 32nd year of Qin Wangzheng.

This year, Liu Bi is 61 years old.

This age, not to mention the folks, even the nobles, and even the royal family like Liu Bi, can definitely be regarded as longevity.

——You must know that even Liu Bang, the great ancestor Gao, only lived to be 62 years old;

Xiaohui Emperor Liu Ying died young at the age of 22;
Emperor Taizong Xiaowen Liu Heng only lived to be 46 years old.

Compared with these clan elders and peers, the 61-year-old Wu Wang Liu Bi obviously lived a very long life.

But even at this age, Liu Bi still hasn't been able to let go of that "past event" that made people in the world keep tabs on...
"It's a pity~"

"The Marquis of An, Shen Tujia, has lived to this day;"

"If there is no Shen Tujia, the crimes we revealed to Chao Cuo should be able to win the support of at least ten clan princes for us."

"It's a pity that Shentu Jia didn't die when he was old, and being by the emperor's side in Chang'an ruined our good deed..."

The slightly regretful voice caused Ying Gao who was at the side to nod his head again, and a look of resentment immediately appeared on his face.

Regarding today's internal history Chao Cuo, the attitude of the vast majority of the clan and princes in the Kanto is naturally wishing to sleep on his skin and eat his flesh;

But only for Wu Wang Liu Bi, the existence of Chao Cuo is like a time bomb planted by God beside the emperor Liu Qi.

In order to 'help' Chao Cuo wantonly destroy the vassal and push the clan princes all over the world to the opposite of Chang'an, in the past few years, Liu Bi has also collected a lot of criminal evidence against the clan princes of the Guandong for Chao Cuo.

——Including Liu Bi himself;
It wasn't until the beginning of this year that the Xiongnu mission returned from Chang'an with a full load, and Liu Bi finally felt the signs of a storm coming. Only then did he use a channel that would not be noticed by the criminal evidence of the clan princes that he had collected in the past few years. , handed over to Chao Cuo's hands.

Of course, including Chu Wang Liu Wu, who caused a shocking scandal.

In Liu Bi's opinion at the time, Chao Cuo would definitely be overjoyed when he received these criminal evidences, and then he spared no effort to cut down the vassals, so as to push all the clan princes in the Kanto into his arms.

But the final result was really beyond Liu Bi's expectation...
"In this way, I am afraid that there will not be too many clan princes who can join us in the uprising..."

"So, those who still have a chance to win, my widow, can't give up any more!"

Amidst the melancholy, the voice of determination was full of determination, which also made Ying Gao's face look serious!
After thinking for a while in secret, he took two steps forward with a stern expression, and bowed to Liu Bi.

"King;"

"Even if the criminal evidence we provided to Chao Cuo did not make the emperor of Chang'an angry for the time being, it will only be a matter of time before the clans and princes of the Kanto clan are punished."

"The only difference is that the current Chang'an court, under the suppression of the old thief Shen Tujia, temporarily put aside the other clan princes, and intends to concentrate on dealing with the king alone."

"But even so, the king can still tell these things to those clan princes;"

"Especially the princes of Qi and Huainan."

"—If the skin doesn't exist, the hair will not be attached to the truth, presumably they will not fail to understand..."

Hearing Ying Gao's words, a look of indifference immediately appeared on Wu Wang Liu Bi's face.

After waving his hand for a while, he saw Wu Wang Liu Bi looking to the west, with the previous profoundness in his eyes again.

"The Qi and Huainan factions have all had their spines broken;"

"Even if they are willing to fight with the widows, they will not be able to provide much help at all."

"If they are willing to revolt, that is of course the best; but if they are unwilling, the widow will not feel regretful."

"What I really care about is King Chu and King Zhao..."

Speaking of this, Liu Bi couldn't help but smile, and the brows were full of banter.

"Liu Wu, the king of Chu, completely ruined the reputation of the lineage of the king of Yuan. Liu Wu, the king of Chu and Yuan, has not learned any of the virtues of Liu Jiao."

"Since you dare to do such an ugly thing, Liu Wu, it is absolutely impossible to stay out of it."

"—Even if he doesn't want to, the widow has plenty of ways to get him to fight obediently."

"But King Zhao, it made the widow a little worried..."

Speaking of this, Liu Bi finally turned around and walked vigorously towards the palace behind him.

He walked to the throne and sat down, and when Ying Gao also sat beside him, Liu Bi finally let out another long sigh leisurely.

"Ugh······"

"Back in the day, I was also a brave man who was proud of Emperor Taizu Gao and was praised by the government and the public."

"Even the Empress Dowager Lu at that time praised the widow as the only one among the Liu clan who could entrust important matters."

"It is precisely because of this ability, and the martial arts of Huainan Wang Yingbu, that the widow was able to be conferred by Emperor Gao of the Taizu to this wild land of Jingwu."

"——for the purpose of guarding against Zhao Tuo in the south, and foreign vassals with different surnames in the south of Donghai and Minyue."

"But after the death of the Empress Dowager Lu, the side line that came into the successor's lineage is really deceiving..."

"Even the crown prince of the widow was smashed to death on the streets of Chang'an by that villain who was crowned with a monkey and commanded the world in Weiyang Palace..."

Speaking of sadness, Liu Bi, the king of Wu in his sixtieth year, already had a tearful face;
But in front of Liu Bi, Ying Gao who heard Liu Bi's words secretly thought about King Zhao.

According to Liu Bi and Ying Gao's previous plan, King Liu Wu of Chu will definitely be punished by Chang'an Ming Canon because of that scandal!

In addition, the princes of the Qi and Huainan families will also be deprived of their land by Chang'an for various crimes.

For example, Liu Ang, the king of Jiaoxi, was charged with privately buying and selling official titles;
Liu Jianglu, king of Qi, was accused of keeping dead men in the palace and hiding armor;
The crime of Zhao Wang Liu Sui is undoubtedly the existence of the princes of various clans, second only to Chu Wang Liu Wu.

——Secretly communicated with the Huns, with ulterior motives! !
And these charges...

"Your Majesty."

With an idea in mind, Ying Gao tentatively opened his mouth, interrupting Wu Wang Liu Bi's thoughts of the dead crown prince Liu Xian.

When Liu Bi looked at him with tears in his eyes, a relaxed smile appeared on Ying Gao's face.

"King;"

"We have disclosed the crimes of the clans and princes to Chao Cuo, and Chao Cuo must have handed over these criminal evidences to the emperor of Chang'an."

"Right now, although the emperor of Chang'an has not had an attack, since the evidence of these crimes is in the hands of the emperor of Chang'an, then sooner or later, these charges will bring disaster to the clan and princes in the Kanto region!"

"As for Zhao Wang Liu Sui, it is true that he traded with the Huns in private, and sold bronzes, salt tea, and even weapons that were banned by the court to the Huns; this is true;"

"Even if Emperor Chang'an doesn't punish him now, he will definitely take advantage of this in the future to seize Zhao's land, and even directly depose King Zhao's throne."

"That's why I believe that the king should immediately send a lobbyist to persuade King Zhao: instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to strike first!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bi's face immediately showed a look of thought;

After a while, Liu Bi nodded slowly, and then looked at Ying Gao suspiciously.

"Send a lobbyist?"

"-Qing means that Qing is not willing to persuade King Zhao on behalf of the widow?"

But when Ying Gao heard the words, he just shook his head calmly and bowed to Liu Bi again.

"It's not difficult to persuade King Zhao."

"As long as someone tells Zhao Wang: Emperor Chang'an knows about Zhao Wang and the Huns, Zhao Wang will definitely agree to raise troops and rise up with the king."

"As for the minister, I'm afraid I will go to Jiaoxi Kingdom to win the support of Jiaoxi King Liu Ang on behalf of the King..."

This gentle word made Liu Bi even more puzzled.

"Jiaoxi Country?"

A question full of doubts made Ying Gao smile again, and put his own views in front of Liu Bi without reservation.

"Your Majesty said just now that as long as the Kings of Chu and Zhao are willing to make trouble, His Majesty will not worry about it any more; His Majesty doesn't even care if the Qi and Huainan factions are in trouble."

"But what Your Majesty didn't expect was that the Qi lineage was broken because the lineage of King Hui Hui of Qi, who was rich in the 73 cities of Qidi, was divided into seven small countries by Chang'an."

"Looking at these seven small countries separately, there is indeed nothing gushing out;"

"But if someone can unite these seven small countries, it will still be a help that cannot be underestimated to the King..."

The orderly and seductive voice made Liu Bi look a little suspicious, so Ying Gao hurriedly said: "Jiaoxi King Liu Ang, although his seniority is not high in the Qi family, he is mighty, brave, and very good. war!"

"I heard that all the princes of the Qi lineage are very afraid of Liu Ang, King of Jiaoxi, and will always listen to Liu Ang's suggestions."

"If Liu Ang is willing to support His Majesty, then most of the other six families in the Qi Clan will also support His Majesty."

"In this way, all the families of the Qi family are united, which is no less powerful than King Chu and King Zhao;"

"For the matter of the king, it will be of great help..."

Hearing this, Liu Bi thought for a long time in secret;

In the end, he looked at Ying Gao with some hesitation.

"However, the Chang'an court did not deprive any family of the Qi lineage;"

"Including Jiaoxi King Liu Ang, he was not punished for buying and selling official titles without permission."

"Recently, news came from Chang'an that the emperor intends to reward the Qi family in the name of 'memorizing King Hui of Qi'."

"Doctor Zhong went to persuade Liu Ang. I'm afraid it won't work, right?"

But when Ying Gao heard the words, he shook his head and smiled confidently.

Looking at Liu Bi's gaze was full of confidence.

"Your Majesty doesn't know anything."

"—Jiaoxi King Liu Ang has always had a violent temper. He only knows how to fight and kill all day long, and never knows what strategy is."

"At the beginning of the year, when the Huns attacked the border areas, Liu Ang even wrote to Chang'an, saying that he wanted to lead an army to fight against the Huns..."

As he said that, Ying Gao couldn't help but shook his head with a sneer: "According to Liu Ang's temperament, knowing that Emperor Chang'an has grasped his crimes, he would definitely think of raising troops immediately."

"It's just that King Jiaoxi's strength alone can't compete with Chang'an;"

"And under the premise that the king initiated it and the two countries of Chu and Zhao responded, Liu Ang will definitely have the courage to persuade the Qi family to join forces."

"If Liu Ang really intends to persuade the Qi family, the king can even make a promise: After the matter is completed, the entire Kanto will be sealed to the Qi family."

"—Of course, whether this promise is kept or not is still up to the king."

"In this way, with Liu Ang's personal persuasion and the king's promise, the seven kings of the Qi family should be able to join in the king's grand plan."

"And the seven kings of the Qi family that unite, even for the Chang'an court, I am afraid that they are a force that should not be underestimated..."

At the end of the hearing, Liu Bi finally nodded with satisfaction, as if he had agreed to Ying Gao's proposal.

Seeing Ying Gao cupping his hands with a smile, he continued: "The three kings of the Huainan family are just like what the king said, they are dispensable allies."

"Since the incident with King Li of Huainan, the three kings of Huainan have never had the courage to violate Chang'an again;"

"Even the death of King Li didn't make these three people remember Chang'an."

"So, for the Huainan faction, the king can send some people at will to try to persuade;"

"If anyone is willing to support the king, then the king will take it with him. If no one supports the king, it's no big deal."

"Anyway, after the incident, Your Majesty will go north first, join forces with the Chu State, bring along the Qi Department by the way, and then head west towards Hangu Pass."

"The role of King Zhao is to try to lure the Huns to knock on the side wall and attract Chang'an's attention;"

"As for the Huainan faction, they can't provide any help at all in the matter of the king..."

After Ying Gao finished speaking, Liu Bi finally nodded in satisfaction, took out a token with a smile, and handed it to Ying Gao.

"In this case, I will trouble Dr. Zhong and go to Jiaoxi Kingdom in person."

"As for King Zhao, I will choose someone who can speak well to persuade King Zhao."

"When King Zhao agrees to start an incident, I will start making preparations..."

"Doctor Zhong is leaving, we must hurry up."

"—Autumn harvest is not far away;"

"Once the autumn harvest is over, the widow's petition will be sent to all parts of the world."

"By that time, if Qi Department has not made up his mind, then the widow will definitely not wait for them."

Hearing Liu Bi's words, Ying Gao also lost his relaxed expression, solemnly accepted the token presented by Liu Bi, and bowed deeply to Liu Bi.

After Ying Gao took the order to leave, Liu Bi reappeared on the high platform outside the palace, looking towards the far west, unwilling to look away for a long time.

"Liu Qi..."

"Hey······"

"This day, I have been waiting for 20 years..."

"The position of the emperor, it should be very comfortable to sit in, right?"

"It's time for my son Liu Xian's life to be paid in blood..."
