I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Junhou, Lu's name?

Junhou, Lu Shihu...
No matter whether he is really guilty or not, or even whether he has done something bad, for the relatives of the Han family, such a few words of slander are extremely fatal.

——Jun Hou, is it a relative of the Lu family?

——Your Majesty, do you want to be a rebel like Lu's relatives who wreak havoc on the world?
In the current public opinion environment of the Han Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Lu has been largely wiped out, but it is only the result of the alternate efforts of the emperors of the Han Dynasty.

But in Kai Kai's foreign relatives: the Lu family, everyone except Queen Mother Lu has already become a complete rebel.

How far has it come?

Just mention a few things casually, and you can know the extent to which Lu's relatives are "everyone shouts and beats" in the current environment of public opinion in the Han Dynasty.

We all know that the grandfather of today's Zisheng and the father of Emperor Xiaojing Liu Qi, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen Liu Heng, is not a normal succession.

As the fourth son of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang, His Royal Highness first experienced the death of his father Liu Bang and his elder brother Liu Ying ascended the throne;

After that, the elder nephew Liu Gong and the younger nephew Liu Hong each sat on the throne for four years.

It wasn't until the Empress Dowager Lu passed away that her nephew Liu Hong could no longer sit on the throne. This gentle and respectful acting king was welcomed into Chang'an by Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and other veterans who had wiped out Zhu Lu, and was welcomed as the new king. Jun.

And in this process—in the process of the princes and ministers punishing Zhulu together, there was another Liu Han clan, which played an extremely important and key role.

Without this person, killing Zhu Lu would be nothing but empty talk.

——The son of Liu Fei, King Hui Hui of Qi, and the other nephew of King Taizong/Emperor Xiaowen Liu Heng: King Ai of Qi, Liu Xiang.

The focus of the pacification of the Zhulu Rebellion was of course the armed coup in Chang'an and a series of political purges led by Jianghou Zhou Bo against the family of Lu's relatives.

But if there is no Qi Ai King Liu Xiang leading an army of 20, outside Hangu Pass, he put on a pair of "I am here!" "In this posture, the Lu family will not disperse their attention and troops outside the pass at all, and give Jiang Hou Zhou Bo the opportunity to agitate the Northern Army so that the "Liu family will favor the left".

If you think about it, you can understand: the princes and ministers punished the princes together, which means that there are princes and ministers.

The ministers are Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and other founding fathers of the dynasty, and the princes are the Qi Ai King Liu Xiang who contributed money and effort.

So, here comes the crux of the problem.

——The ministers punished Lu together, it can be understood that they have endured the humiliation under Lu's despotic power for many years, and they couldn't take it anymore, and wanted to fight desperately;
So why did Qi Ai Wang Liu Xiang do this?

If we talk about scenes, it is nothing more than 'As a member of the Liu family, I have the responsibility to defend the emperor of Chang'an'~
"I feel sorry for the emperor's cousin who made clay statues in Chang'an" and so on.

But at the end of the day, it's one sentence.

——When Zhu Lu was settled down, the king of Qi stood up immediately.

This logic is also easy to understand.

The princes and ministers punished Zhu Lu together, and the matter was accomplished. The ministers won the reputation of helping the Han Dynasty, so they naturally added officials to the ranks and shared the fruits of victory together;

As a vassal king, the only one worthy of Qi Ai Wang Liu Xiang's pursuit at such a risk is the supreme position.

What's more, under such circumstances - under the premise that the Lu family has been in power and the government has been in chaos for many years, a Liu family member who can kill Zhu Lu and restore Liu Han's world is undoubtedly the best candidate for the position of emperor.

In other words: from the beginning to the end of the Zhulu Rebellion, the carrot hanging in front of Qi Ai King Liu Xiang was always the Han Family Ancestral Temple and Sheji.

To put it more simply, it is the throne.

But everyone knows: after the death of the Empress Dowager Lv, the chaos of the Lvs in Chang'an, and the peace of Qi Ai Wang Liu Xiang, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and other ministers, it was not the Qi Ai King Liu Xiang who sat on the throne of the Han family, but the Dai Wang, later Emperor Taizong Xiaowen Liu Heng.

So in this, what mistakes or variables have occurred?
If we delve into the reasons, it may be attributed to the fact that "the king of Qi was too strong, and the ministers were worried that it would not be easy to control, so they changed Liu Heng, who is harmless to humans and animals, to make Liu Heng a puppet and a clay statue."

But at least on the bright side, the reason why Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and other veterans refused to welcome Liu Xiang, King of Qi Ai, was that the Queen Mother of Qi's family, Sijun, was a villain, and he was afraid to return to the Lu family.

What do you mean?
—— King Qi's uncle, Si Jun, is said to be a very bad person. If King Qi is allowed to sit in the world, then Si Jun will be the next relative of the Lu family.

Just such a baseless, even unreasonable and illogical slander made King Qi Ai lose all opportunities in an instant, and could only withdraw to Linzi in disgrace, and died of depression in just one or two years later.

It can be said that at least one-third of the reason why Liu Xiang, king of Qi Ai, failed to sit on the ninety-five supreme position and failed to become Emperor Taizong Xiaoxue of the Han family was because of the sentence "I am afraid that Sijun will return to Lu's family." '.

If there is no such sentence, even if Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and other veterans do not want to welcome Liu Xiang, at least they cannot find such a convincing reason...
After that, Liu Heng, the acting king, came to Chang'an from Jinyang to worship the ancestors and sue the temple to inherit the great rule.

Many years later, Empress Dou Yifang was able to reunite with two siblings: elder brother Dou Changjun and younger brother Dou Guangguo;
It was supposed to be a warm drama where brothers and sisters were separated for many years and reunited after suffering, but Dou Changjun and Dou Guangguo brothers were not able to reunite with their sister/sister for a long time, and were surrounded by courtiers like wolf and tiger for three times.

After observing several times like observing animals, the two brothers were "imprisoned" in Shiqu Pavilion, but any literati elder with a touch of "gentleman" was sent to the two brothers as teachers.

After being strictly educated for several years, the two brothers were finally released, and they were able to start their life in Chang'an as if they were walking on eggshells under the high attention of critics inside and outside the court.

reason?

——If the queen's brothers and sisters are not educated, they may return to the Lu family.

It's still the same sentence: fear of returning to the Lu family.

Later, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen had a direct conflict with the prime minister of the dynasty: Zhang Cang, Marquis of Beiping, because of Huanglong's change of Yuan Dynasty.

The emperor said that it was right for Huanglong to change the Yuan Dynasty, and the prime minister said that your majesty was really wrong.

The final result, of course, was that Zhang Cang was dismissed as Prime Minister, so he returned to his hometown disheartened.

After Zhang Cang was dismissed, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's best choice was actually his brother-in-law: Dou Guangguo.

After years of education, Dou Guangguo at that time had grown into a well-known elder and wise man inside and outside the court, and even the emperor Liu Heng would think of Dou Guangguo first when encountering unsolvable major issues.

——For quite a long time, Dou Guangguo was the chief think tank of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen.

Of course, the most important thing is: Zhang Cang, who had just sent away an iron head, made Emperor Taizong Xiaowen desperately want a prime minister who has the same heart as him, and even wears a pair of trousers.

His wife and brother Dou Guangguo is undoubtedly the best choice.

But in the end, what stood between Dou Guangguo and the position of prime minister was still the ear-piercing words.

——The current queen is the future queen mother;

—— Let the future queen mother have a younger brother who is the prime minister, fearing that the Dou family will return to the Lu family.

It's still the same sentence: I'm afraid I'll be Lu's again.

It is often said that time always dilutes something.

This matter is no exception.

With the passage of time, the shadow cast by Lu's relatives on the Han family's monarchs and officials, and on the Han family's court will inevitably fade a little bit, until people can't remember at the beginning of the founding of the country, there was such a family of traitors who used their own His every move tells the world how terrible it is for a foreign relative to take power.

But at least for now, the aftermath of Lu's chaos in power still exists in the political environment of the Han family.

About ten years ago, when today's son Shengde was established as the crown prince, there was an uproar among the people.

——Why? !

Although Emperor Xian Xiaojing had no sons, the sons of the concubine were also orderly. According to the principle of having a son and no son, Liu Rong should have inherited the rule!
Even if Liu Rong has some unspeakable flaws, it should be replaced in sequence, the second Liu De, the third Liu Yu, and even the fourth Liu Yu, the fifth Liu Fei, etc.;

Why can't it be Liu Sheng's turn?
At that time, Emperor Xian Xiaojing Liu Qi released such an informal conclusion to the outside world.

——Liu Yu, the fourth son of the emperor, Liu Fei, the fifth son of the emperor, Liu Fa, the sixth son of the emperor, Liu Pengzu, the seventh son of the emperor, and Liu Duan, the eighth son of the emperor, all my beloved sons;
Only these five sons either stutter and cannot speak to others, or love martial arts to the point of madness, or are cowardly and dare not show it to others, or have frivolous temperaments, or suffer from unspeakable diseases.

——The eldest son of the emperor Liu Rong, the second son of the emperor Liu De, and the third son of the emperor Liu Yu can all inherit the ancestral temple;

However, the mother Su's family is treacherous, so she immediately stands up, fearing that she will return to the Lu family.

It's still the same old saying: I'm afraid I will return to the Lu family.

It is no exaggeration to say that even now, even after more than 30 years have passed since Lu's relatives disappeared in the world, the five words of fearing that they will return to the Lu family still have great lethality.

How lethal?

If the relatives are snakes, then 'I'm afraid to return to the Lu family' is the realgar!
As long as it is stained, let alone whether you can live, even if you die, it will be difficult to keep a decent appearance of death.

But now, it seems that Dou Ying is about to be tainted with the terrifying words 'fear of returning to the Lu family' on the wallpaper of this group of relatives.

In fact, it wasn't even this far.

——Liu Sheng asked that "Jun Hou Lu's call", of course, he didn't want to reflect anything, but hoped to awaken the fear in Dou Ying's heart through this question that pointed to the depths of the soul.

Liu Sheng wanted to remind Dou Ying: Don't forget that you are a foreign relative, and forget what to do and what not to do.

But when Dou Ying, full of resentment and complaints about the past years, took out the beige silk cloth with the jade seal of Chuan Guo from a hidden compartment in the study, everything seemed irreparable... ··
·
"The last emperor's edict?"

"Why did the first emperor leave an imperial edict with Wei Qihou?"

Changle Palace, Changxin Palace.

Almost at the moment when the words "Emperor's Legacy" sounded, the palace people without exception lowered their heads deeply, and some timid ones even closed their eyes.

The few people near the gate of the hall even took the risk of being punished and slapped the board, quietly retreated outside the hall, lest they hear sensitive topics that might damage their lives.

On the imperial couch, Liu Sheng only nodded slowly when he heard Queen Mother Dou's slightly surprised question.

"It is indeed the last imperial edict."

"—At least the seals are complete."

"According to Ting Wei: Wei Qihou was extremely dissatisfied with Ting Wei's arrest of Guan Fu. Seeing Ting Wei holding Tianzi Festival, he took out the edict with great anger."

"On the edict, there is no specific thing written, only one sentence: There are priorities, Xu Wei Qihou Dou Ying will do it cheaply."

"I never thought that Wei Qihou's privilege and honor of 'doing things cheaply' was actually used in front of the angel, and used on that reckless man Guan Fu..."

After describing the situation from a basically objective point of view, Liu Sheng lowered his head slightly with a smile, and quietly waited for the reaction of his grandmother, Empress Dowager Dou.

And Empress Dowager Dou's next series of reactions did not exceed Liu Sheng's expectations at all.

"And then what?"

"And then what?"

"Where is Dou Ying?"

"Where is Tingwei?"

"—Seeing the last emperor's edict, Ting Wei dared not neglect, and immediately sent someone to the palace to report, and grandson recalled Ting Wei, and by the way withheld that edict."

"——At this moment, Tingwei should have returned to the official office, and Wei Qihou is still in the Houfu."

Hearing that Dou Ying was fine, Empress Dowager Dou breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry on her face did not fade much;

Hearing that Liu Sheng said that this matter had been suppressed and the edict had been taken back, Empress Dowager Dou stretched out her hand and fumbled again.

After the will was gently stuffed into Liu Sheng's hands by Liu Sheng, Empress Dowager Dou finally felt a little relieved.

"call······"

···
"Emperor, how do you plan to deal with Wei Qihou?"

The meaningful question only caused Liu Sheng to shake his head and smile, and said relaxedly: "What did the emperor's grandmother say?"

"The first emperor allowed Wei Qihou to act cheaply, and there was an imperial edict to rely on. The grandson should respect the late emperor's will, and Xu Wei Qihou will be willful for a while."

"It's just that Guan Fu has committed a lot of crimes, and he has been a disaster in Yingchuan for many years."

"——Wei Qihou protected Guanfu for a while, but he couldn't protect Guanfu for the rest of his life."

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, Guan Fu will be imprisoned again, and if Wei Qihou wants to jump out to play drunk again, grandson, it will be a bit difficult..."

As he spoke helplessly, he saw Liu Sheng hastily let out another forced laugh.

"But it's nothing."

"—No matter how you say it, Wei Qihou is still a family member."

"It's always understandable for family members to be willful."

"If you can't even tolerate the occasional willfulness of your family members, then even if your grandson becomes crowned and pro-government, I'm afraid he will live up to the great expectations of the emperor's grandmother and late emperor?"

Listening to Liu Sheng's words that seemed to be asking and answering himself, but also seemed to be diametrically opposed, Empress Dowager Dou's expression became more and more sluggish;

It's just that the paper silk cloth in his hand was being held tighter and tighter by Empress Dowager Dou...
"Summer sparrow~"

···
"go;"

"Call me that bastard Dou Ying."

···
"Don't come to Changle."

"I'm in the Dou's ancestral hall, waiting for that bastard who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors..."
