I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 126 This is God wants me to cut down the feudal clan~
When the news of "Tianhuo broadcasting Luoyang" reached Chang'an, just half an hour later, the figure of the emperor Liu Qi appeared in the main hall of the Xuanshi of Weiyang Palace.

Seeing the long-lost Emperor Qi finally appear in front of Fang's imperial couch, and the officials who were summoned to the palace, they did not feel at ease.

Because following Tian Ziqi, there is also the entire stargazing 'team' that the Han Dynasty has now, and all the 'astronomers' that can be found in a short period of time...

"A meteorite fell from the sky and fell on the east palace of Luoyang Palace, burning down the palace walls and rooms!"

When all the attendees had arrived, Tianzi Qi got up slowly from the imperial couch with a gloomy face.

"Earlier, the celestial phenomena frequently appeared abnormal, and I thought that it was my fault that caused God to warn me with the abnormal celestial phenomena;"

"But after I bathed and changed clothes, went to the Taimiao to fast and introspect, the abnormal celestial phenomena still appeared one after another."

"—Now, the disaster of Luoyang Palace has appeared!"

After saying the opening remark loudly, Tianzi Qi cast his worried eyes on the 'astronomers' at the side of the hall.

"All of you are scholars who have studied the "Yi" and have insights into the stars and celestial phenomena;"

"Please also tell me: what does this abnormal celestial phenomenon symbolize?"

"—God, what reason do you want to use these abnormal celestial phenomena, especially this disaster in the Luoyang East Palace, to tell me???"

Following the sonorous and powerful voice of Tianzi Qi, it sounded in the huge Xuanshi hall, and the dozens of 'astronomers' looked at me and I looked at you;

Unable to see any valuable information from each other's faces, they all bowed their hands to the emperor.

After Tianzi Qi nodded slightly with a sullen face, all the people gathered together and exchanged opinions with each other.

After a long time, one of the old men finally stepped forward and bowed to the emperor above him.

"His Majesty."

"According to the records of "Book of Changes", the retrograde motion of the stars, the appearance of comets and meteors, or the descending of heaven and fire, each has its own general solution."

"However, these phenomena have appeared together in just a few months, which is unprecedented."

"Your Majesty, I dare not give an answer to His Majesty easily..."

He said something loudly, and before Tianzi Qi could show his displeasure, the old man hurriedly continued: "But judging from the frequency and location of these visions, there may be such a possibility."

As he spoke, the old man turned his head and made eye contact with the colleagues around him;
After the colleagues around him nodded their heads one after another, the old man turned around and bowed to the emperor again.

"Previously, the stars were retrograde, comets and meteors appeared one after another, and perhaps the exact meaning could not be determined yet;"

"But the sky fire in Luoyang Palace, I'm afraid, is relatively obvious."

"—Luoyang Palace is the place where Emperor Taizu Gao inherited the throne and established Liu Han Guozuo;"

"Therefore, the heavenly fire descending on Luoyang Palace should imply that Liu Han Sheji and Guozuo established by Emperor Taizu Gao are facing the danger of overthrow!"

"Furthermore, this sky fire descended on the east hall of Luoyang Palace, not in other directions;"

"This may explain: the danger our Han family is facing has appeared in the east..."

As soon as the old man said this, the courtiers and officials in the hall turned sideways one after another and started talking with the people beside them.

A moment later, when the old man retreated, an old figure dressed in blue court uniform and brows full of vicissitudes came out from among the stargazers on the other side of the imperial steps.

"His Majesty."

"The ministers also believe that the sky fire in Luoyang Palace means that the country established by Emperor Taizu Gao is facing an unprecedented threat;"

"And this threat appeared in the east of my Han family!"

"There is another point that I can roughly understand."

"—Now, the clan princes of our Han family include Yan, Dai, and Zhao in the north, Qi, Chu, and Wu in the east, Liang and Huaiyang in the central plains, Huainan in the south, and those separated from Qi and Huainan. Some small countries that came out of the country, such as Jiaoxi, Jiaodong and other countries.”

"These vassal states add up to a total of fifteen."

"Among the [-] clan princes, there is only one person who was conferred by Emperor Taizu Gao himself, and he is still alive today."

"And this person's feudal country is also located in the east of my Han family..."

As soon as this remark came out, the conversation in the hall stopped quietly, and in an instant, it was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

On the imperial steps, Tianzi Qi only sat back on the imperial couch thoughtfully, bowed his head and meditated for a long time.

In the end, Tianzi Qi slowly raised his head and looked at the old star official who had spoken.

"Your meaning is..."

"—Wu King Liu Bi?"

Tian Ziqi asked in a deep voice, but the old star official did not answer;
He bowed silently to the emperor Qi, then walked backwards and returned to the place where he was standing before.

It was only at this time that Tianzi Qi finally realized: the stargazing officer is only responsible for observing changes in the celestial phenomena and stars in turn, and in principle, does not express opinions on government affairs.

But what the old star official said earlier was very clear.

——Liu Bang, Emperor Gao of Taizu, first entrusted several princes with different surnames at the beginning of the founding of the country, and then banned the order of princes with different surnames, and changed the Guandong to be governed by clan princes.

At that time, the clan princes entrusted by Liu Bang were not the same as the clan princes today.

——The king of Yan who was entrusted by Liu Bang is his eighth son, Liu Jian, the king of Yan Ling who died for many years because of the persecution of the Empress Dowager Lu;
The king of Zhao, who was entrusted by Liu Bang, is also a famous tragic protagonist in history: the third son of Emperor Taizu Liu Bang, Zhao Yin Wang Liu Ruyi.

As for the acting king, let alone - it was the first Emperor Taizong Xiaowen Emperor Liu Heng!

This is the case for Yan, Dai, and Zhao, and the situation in other countries is basically similar.

The Liang Wang conferred by Liu Bang is Liu Hui, the fifth son of the emperor;

Later, he was transferred to the title of King Zhao by Empress Dowager Lu, and committed suicide in love. It was: King Zhao Gong.

The king of Huainan conferred by Liu Bang is the emperor's seventh son, Liu Chang;

At the time of the first emperor, he was exiled to Bashu because he was suspected of treason, and starved to death in a prison car on the way. He was King Li of Huainan.

As for the Changsha country in the south, let alone.

——The lineage of Changsha King Wu's lineage granted by Liu Bang is now extinct!

When the current emperor, Qi, proclaims his sons kings, the Changsha Kingdom, which is the only vassal with a different surname in the Han Dynasty, will also officially become a clan vassal.

From now on, there will no longer be a group of "vassal princes with different surnames" in the Han Dynasty.

Yan, Dai, and Zhao in the North, Liang State in the Central Plains, Huainan, and Changsha in the South are all like this. The rest are Qi, Chu, and Wu in the East.

Among the three vassal states, Liu Bang's first king of Qi was his eldest son Liu Fei;
Now, the throne left by Liu Fei, the king of mourning Hui of Qi, has been passed on to the fourth generation after the son of Liu Fei, the son of mourning king Liu Xiang, and the son of Liu Xiang, the son of Wen Wang Liu Ze: Liu Fei's eighth son, Qi king Liu Jianglu.

This is because during the reign of Emperor Taizong, the grandson of Liu Fei, the mourning king, and the son of Liu Xiang, the king of mourning, that is, Liu Ze, king of Qi Wen, died without leaving any heirs;

The state of Qi, which was supposed to be "eliminated by the country of extinct heirs", was also handed over by the late emperor to the hands of Liu Jianglu, the uncle of King Wen Liu Ze, the eighth son of King Huihui of Qi, Liu Fei.

As for the state of Chu, Liu Bang's younger brother Liu Jiao was the first to be granted the title.

Now, the throne of the King of Chu has also passed to Liu Jiao's grandson: Liu Wu through Chu Yuan King Liu Jiao and Chu Yi King Liu Yingke.

Only the country of Wu!

Only Liu Bi, the king of Wu, is the first king of Wu who was conferred by Emperor Gao of Taizu Gao himself and has survived to this day!
In this way...
"His Majesty!"

Just as the Son of Heaven was sitting on the imperial couch, lowering his head and thinking about how persuasive this direction would be, a resounding cry suddenly sounded from among the courtiers!

When Tianzi Qi raised his head, he saw the prime minister Shen Tujia, whose eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were black and blue, and his face was still full of exhaustion and weakness, and he stood up first!
Then, Shen Tujia came to the center of the hall step by step under the astonished eyes of the courtiers and officials;
Turned sideways, took a deep breath, adjusted her clothes again, and then slowly cupped her hands to Emperor Qi...
"The prime minister's former marquis Shen Tujia, there is a performance!"

With a loud shout, all the courtiers in the hall, as well as the stargazers and astronomers on both sides of the imperial steps all looked sideways!

Even Emperor Qi, who was on the imperial couch, looked at Shentujia with a faint look of doubt.

——At this time, it is inconvenient for the prime minister to speak, right?
When such a question appeared in the minds of everyone in the hall, including Tian Ziqi, Shentu Jia looked at Tian Ziqi with a look of determination suddenly.

"Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was conferred the title of king by Emperor Taizu Gao because of his achievements in attacking the rebellious Huainan Wang Yingbu in the 11th year of Emperor Taizu Gao!"

"And at that time, the minister happened to be there!"

Under the puzzled eyes of everyone in the hall, Shen Tujia straightened up proudly after saying such a shocking sentence.

"Before he became king, Emperor Taizu Gao once said: In the land of Jingchu, the folk customs are strong, and a young clan must be the king to ensure stability;"

"But at that time, most of the heirs of Emperor Taizu Gao were still young."

"The only grown-up emperor's eldest son, Liu Fei, was named King of Qi as early as the year when Emperor Taizu Gao established the Han Dynasty."

"In desperation, Emperor Taizu Gao finally adopted the suggestion of Piyang Hou Shen Shiqi, and made Liu Bi, the eldest son of Daiqing King Liu Xi, the King of Wu, and ruled three counties in Wudi, a total of 53 cities. "

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall finally recovered from the horror of "the prime minister expressed his opinion on the abnormality of the sky";
After reflecting on Shentu Jia's words for a while, the faces of everyone in the hall became a little more exciting.

"Conferring Liu Bi the King of Wu..."

"—is it actually the proposal of the Marquis of Piyang to examine Shiqi?"

"this·········"

For a moment, the eyes of everyone in the hall looked at each other with a touch of shock.

The Marquis of Piyang tried to eat him, who is that?

The number one traitor next to the Empress Dowager Lu!

To this day, there are even some "secret fortunes" about Shen Shiqi and Empress Dowager Lu being circulated.

Back then, when the first emperor inherited the throne from Daidi to Chang'an, he summoned his only surviving younger brother, King Liu Chang of Huainan, to Chang'an;
As a result, when Liu Chang arrived in Chang'an, if he disagreed with him, he punished the Marquis of Piyang and hammered him to death on the street outside his mansion!

what's the result?
--Nothing special!
Regarding Liu Chang's action of hammering and killing Shen Shiqi, not only no one in the government and the public thought it was wrong, but many people praised Liu Chang and said that this is killing harm for the people!

Even the first emperor Liu Heng simply questioned Liu Chang a few words, but did not pursue further.

The co-author Liu Bi was named the King of Wu, is it the suggestion of Ju Shiqi?

Realizing this, everyone hurriedly straightened their backs and turned their focused gazes to the prime minister Shen Tujia in the center of the surrender hall.

Sure enough, everyone expected: Shentujia's next words were even more explosive than the previous sentence, "Shen Shiqi recommended Liu Bi as King of Wu"...

"When Liu Bi was granted the title of King of Wu, Emperor Taizu Gao once asked someone to meet Liu Bi;"

"Unexpectedly, the face-to-face person was bought by Liu Bi in advance, and he didn't tell the truth in front of Emperor Taizu Gao."

"After Liu Bi was formally proclaimed King of Wu, there was a person who was good at face-to-face with Emperor Taizu Gao and told Emperor Gao of Taizu that Liu Bi's face was for someone who was bound to rebel. phase!"

boom! ! !
After Shen Tujia said the basics, everyone in the public hall was shocked!

Even the emperor Qi on the imperial couch couldn't help showing a little astonishment and a little scrutiny between his brows.

"Is that so?!"

"Since Emperor Taizu Gao knew about this, why did he make Liu Bi King of Wu?"

Xu Shi heard the question in his ear, Shen Tujia didn't stop for too long, and continued: "Hearing that the person who is good at face-mating said that Liu Bi is the face of rebellion, Emperor Taizu Gao regretted it very much;"

"But the imperial edict has been issued, and the king's seal has been handed over to Liu Bi. It's too late to get it back."

"Therefore, Emperor Taizu Gao called Liu Bi to his side and asked: After 50 years of the Han Dynasty, someone will rise up in the southeast of my Han family and make trouble. Could it be you?"

"Liu Bi didn't answer, Emperor Taizu Gao said again: People with the same surname in the world are all one family; you are the clan of the Liu family, and you are relatives with all the Liu families."

"If you are still alive 50 years after the Han Dynasty, and the emperor is still the Liu family, then don't rebel..."

As Shentu Jia's sad tone gradually fell, the courtiers and officials in the palace were already dumbfounded.

As for the authenticity of this past event, no one questioned it at all.

——At the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, Shen Tujia happened to be the personal guard of Emperor Taizu Gao! !

When Liu Bi was granted the title of King of Wu, Shen Tujia, who was the governor of Huaiyang at that time, happened to be following Emperor Taizu Gao to put down the rebellion of Huainan Wang Yingbu!
The time and characters are all right, so there is no need to doubt the authenticity of the words.

The reason is simple: Shen Tujia is the current prime minister.

When you are the prime minister, you will not lie to the emperor in front of the officials...

"Sigh~"

"After 50 years of the Han Dynasty, a rebellion broke out in the southeast..."

Thinking of this, among the people in the hall, those who responded quickly began to count with their fingers.

Emperor Taizu Gao was 12 years old, Emperor Xiaohui was seven years old, Empress Dowager Lu was in power for eight years, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen was 23 years old...

Added together, exactly 50 years!
In other words...

"Emperor Gao's prophecy is that after 50 years of the Han Dynasty, there will be a rebellion in the southeast..."

"And Your Majesty, it was the 50th year of the Han Dynasty, after the death of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, he inherited the throne..."

Thinking this way, everyone in the hall quietly turned their heads and cast their meaningful gazes on the emperor Qi on the imperial couch.

——Emperor Taizu Gao, you have already made it very clear!
——After Emperor Qi ascended the throne, there will definitely be a rebellion in the southeast direction!
Moreover, Emperor Taizu Gao was the first to see the "rebel's exclusive face" of King Liu Bi of Wu!
Plus right now, the fire is spreading in Luoyang this day, burning down the Luoyang East Palace...

"Could it be that the abnormal celestial phenomenon during this period is really God reminding me: Wu Wang Liu Bi, is he planning to bring trouble to my Han family?"

In the silence, Tian Ziqi's deep inquiry sounded, causing everyone in the hall to raise their heads in unison;

In the middle of Xuanshi Hall, Prime Minister Shen Tujia slowly stood up and bowed to the emperor again.

"God's warning couldn't be more obvious..."

"Your Majesty was introspecting in the Taimiao, but it attracted more and more violent abnormal celestial phenomena;"

"—This is precisely what God is telling His Majesty: the abnormal celestial phenomenon is not due to His Majesty's fault!"

"This is God telling His Majesty, don't reflect on yourself in Taimiao anymore, go back to Weiyang Palace quickly, and kill King Wu Liu Bi's conspiracy in advance!"

"If not, when Wu Wang Liu Bi really rises up to make trouble, it will inevitably bring unimaginable disasters to the world..."

Following Shentu Jia's sonorous and forceful words, Tianzi Qi's face could not help showing a look of true loneliness.

Seeing this, the courtiers and officials in the hall finally stopped hesitating, got up from their seats in sequence, and walked to the center of the hall.

Each of them found a good position behind Shentujia, and bowed to the emperor Qi Qi!
"Minister, wait for me to die~"

"The ministers all think that what the prime minister said is true;"

"I implore Your Majesty, follow the instructions of God, and kill the conspiracy of the king of Wu's villain ahead of time..."

A tidy report sounded, but Tianzi Qi became even more hesitant;
After contemplating for a long time with a tangled face, he finally saw Tianzi Qi standing up from the imperial couch shaking his head and sighing.

"Wu Wang Liu Bi is the elder of my Liu clan;"

"Even if there is a fault, as a junior, I don't want to be too strict."

"But God has such a warning, I can't do nothing..."

"Um······"

"—Then, according to the previous proposal of Nei Shi Chao Cuo, take away Wu's two counties, Kuaiji and Yuzhang, as a punishment."

"As long as King Wu is willing to repent, the two prefectures that have been seized can be reintroduced into Wu's land."

Hearing Liu Qi's words, the faces of the courtiers and officials in the palace froze, and there was a little strangeness in their gazes to the left and right.

--what?

There is a vision today, why is it related to the policy of cutting the feudal clan again?

Just when everyone was busy looking around, trying to find some answers from the comrades around them, no one noticed at all: the emperor Qi on the imperial couch gave a tacit look to the prime minister Shen Tujia.

Then, Shentu Jia's sonorous and forceful answer sounded in the Xuanshi Hall...

"Your Majesty, please follow His Majesty's edict!!!"

Seeing Shen Tujia's promise, everyone, you look at me, and I look at you;

In the end, he only followed Shen Tujia and bowed deeply to the emperor Qi on the imperial couch.

"Your Majesty, please obey His Majesty's edict..."
