I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 657: Those who defected are all good comrades
The appearance of Liu Xie made Liu Bian and the Queen Mother He frightened and at a loss.

Especially Queen Mother He, when she saw this boy and the evil that Wang Meiren gave birth to, she felt an unspeakable sense of humiliation and anger in her heart.

This boy grew up under the protection of Empress Dowager Dong. Although he did not threaten her son's throne in the end, Liu Xie has always been a worry for Empress Dowager He.

And today, this evil obstacle finally came to seize his son's throne, and he still did it so legitimately.

"Nie Zhan, why are you here?" Queen Mother He said fiercely to Liu Xie.

Liu Yu, who was on the side, said to the Queen Mother He very respectfully: "Queen Mother, as a venerable person of the country, you actually spoke like this to King Chenliu. I'm afraid you have lost the majesty of your Queen Mother, right? He is the son of the late emperor, and I don't know the Queen Mother. Why do you call her evil, and where does the basis come from?”

After hearing what Liu Yu said, Queen Mother He regained her senses a little, but she was still humiliated.

Soon I heard the Queen Mother He shout: "As the powerful ministers of the Han Dynasty, what is your purpose in bringing this traitor here today? Have you long wanted to seize my son's throne?!"

The King of Donghai said: "Now that the emperor has lost his moral integrity, we originally wanted to persuade the emperor, but we never thought about abolishing the establishment."

"However, now the emperor has listened to the persuasion of his ministers, but still refuses to obey, insists on doing evil, and has trapped the Han Dynasty on the edge of a cliff! How could the world of the Han Dynasty be left in the hands of such an arbitrary and arrogant emperor! "

"Today, we are waiting for these more than a hundred members of the Han clan, even if they bear the infamy of the ages, they are going to abolish the establishment!"

"King Chenliu is also a descendant of the late emperor, and he is also a king of vassals. He was granted the title of king by the late emperor. Why is he not qualified to inherit the throne?"

As soon as the King of Donghai said this, others such as King Zhao, King Ganling, King Hejian and others also spoke one after another.

"Yes, the emperor is stupid and unreasonable, so he should be deposed!"

"This world is not the world of his emperor alone, but the world of our Han Liu clan."

"Exactly! How can the world of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty allow a young man to be corrupted! In the future, after we die, how can we have the dignity to go to Jiuquan to see Emperor Gao? Your Majesty will abolish it!"

Everyone nodded after hearing this, and then they criticized Liu Bian one by one and counted his crimes over and over again.

Wang Yun stood below and shouted angrily: "You are a bunch of rebellious officials and traitors, do you take today's emperor seriously?"

The King of Donghai suddenly turned his head and looked at Wang Yun: "Old thief, don't bother talking. We still don't have time to deal with you now! But your attempt to tamper with us will be found on your head sooner or later! Don't be anxious. Seeking death!"

These words really made Wang Yun very angry.

Then, Xun You was seen winking at the crowd of people behind him.

These Qingliu came forward one after another and said to Liu Bian:

"Your Majesty, what the princes, kings and clan members said is true. Since they have seen the shortcomings of the imperial court and your majesty's faults, your majesty might as well follow your advice and improve yourself. In this way, all the princes and kings will also do the same in the future. I will continue to serve His Majesty, and it will be beneficial to the court, the country, and Your Majesty."

"Yes, Your Majesty, although people make mistakes, they can just change them. Your Majesty is also a human being, and it is normal to make mistakes. Why are you so stubborn?"

"If Your Majesty is willing to correct his mistakes, you will surely become a wise king in the future!"

Faced with what everyone said, Liu Zhui refused to bow his head or admit his mistake. He stared at everyone.

"I'm not wrong. You are wronging me. What's wrong with me?! It's all you who deliberately want to persecute me! Let me tell you, I will never admit my mistakes or admit that I have made any mistakes. I also don't believe in your ability. You dare to depose me! If you dare to depose me, you are disrespecting the late emperor. The soul of the late emperor and the ancestors of the Han Dynasty will kill you."

Chenliu Wang Liu Xie looked at his brother helplessly below,

He felt both sad and pitiful in his heart.

Brother, brother, when did you become so stubborn, stubborn, and stupid?
How did you become so ignorant of current affairs?
At this time, I heard Liu Jian say: "Everyone, it's getting late, and His Majesty also needs to rest. Some things cannot be decided in a moment! We must patiently and kindly persuade Your Majesty, and don't speak harshly to His Majesty. The suddenness of what happened today may make it difficult for His Majesty to accept it for a moment. We might as well let Your Majesty and His Highness have a good rest."

"In a few days, I believe His Majesty will have a clear understanding of our loyalty and will understand our painstaking efforts."

Although all the princes and kings did not understand Liu Jian's intention, since he had spoken, they would not disobey him.

"In this case, let the Emperor and His Highness rest in peace as soon as possible! Later we will discuss a charter for the Emperor to change. We will sort it out carefully and then submit it to the Emperor."

This was said by Liu Zhong, King of Ganling.

When he said this, he mainly wanted to flatter Liu Jian.

Seeing Liu Jian, King of Ganling Liu Zhong, who was the first to respond, everyone came to their senses and said good night to the emperor and the queen mother, and then left the palace collectively.

The palace grounds, which had been bustling with people just a moment ago, were now desolate.

These people, whether they are clan members of the Han Dynasty, princes, or important officials of the imperial court, come and go quickly. When they come, there is a buzz of people, and when they leave, they are like the wind sweeping autumn leaves.

Looking at the empty hall, Liu Bian couldn't control his emotions for a moment, hugging his head and crying.

And his mother, Queen Mother He, squatted on the ground and cried loudly: "Oh my God! Late Emperor, come and save my mother and son. Your son has been bullied like this. How can you, late Emperor, feel so sorry? Late Emperor, you have appeared." Bar!"

In fact, Liu Jian had a purpose in asking everyone to withdraw today.

Liu Bian and Queen Mother He basically had a mental breakdown during the fight just now.

Although Liu Bian gritted his teeth and refused to admit his mistake, it showed that he had lost his cool enough and was not afraid at all.

His dethronement has become a certainty.

If Liu Bian had just expressed his willingness to correct his mistakes in front of everyone, admitted his ten major mistakes, and expressed his willingness to be a good emperor from now on... Then Liu Jian wanted to drag him down. You have to weigh it up.

But now that Liu Bian still maintains this tough attitude, he has completely ruined himself.

As for Queen Mother He, she is nothing more than a mediocre person, a jealous woman who only cares about herself, and is nothing to worry about.

Liu Jian will not let his clansmen continue to attack the emperor tonight because he has no intention of doing anything to Liu Bian and his mother tonight. Those words about Liu Bian and his son just now were just temporary excuses by the clansmen of the Han Dynasty and the princes. from.

Liu Jian felt that rhetoric cannot affect the future direction of a country. The key is to control the military and political situations.

Taking advantage of the confrontation between the clan members of the Han Dynasty and Liu Bian's mother and son just now, all the forces belonging to Liu Bian in the imperial city were basically eliminated!

The troops under Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xia Houlan and others have completely occupied Chang'an and controlled the imperial city.

Now Liu Bian is like a bird trapped in a cage, unable to escape from his grasp.Nor can it fly out of its bird cage.

After Liu Jian and others withdrew from the palace, they immediately ordered people to surround the palace and not allow anyone to leave or enter the palace.

At the same time, he also sent his own servants into the palace to replace all the eunuchs around the emperor. These people would serve the emperor and the queen mother, and at the same time, he would keep Liu Bian within his sight.In the next few days, Liu Jian ordered people to completely cut off the palace's contact with the outside world, leaving Liu Bian, mother and son to live in deep fear.

They wanted to get any information but couldn't find it. They tried to find someone to contact someone outside, but they couldn't find anyone trustworthy.

All the guards around him and the guards in the palace were all Liu Jian's people. These servants only provided for their daily expenses and served them on time, but they would not say a word to Liu Bian and the Queen Mother He.

During the period when the news about the Emperor and Queen Mother He was sealed, Liu Jian and other princes and kings did several major events in the court.

The first is to arrest Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Chun Yujia and other major figures in the Gongqing Party led by them and imprison them all in the name of rebellion.

Liu Jian knew that he had no need to pity these people. After all, the conflicts between them were irreconcilable.

Forcibly showing mercy to them and recruiting them to surrender will only leave hidden dangers and future troubles for themselves, leading to endless disasters.

The second thing is to win over everyone in the court who can be won over.

The Qingliu faction was naturally the main people Liu Jian attracted. Liu Jian met Liu Biao, Xun You, and Ma Rixi one by one, and introduced them to the princes and kings. Everyone reached an agreement, formed an alliance of interests, and exchanged political opinions with each other. experience and opinions on the future trend of the world.

Among these people, Liu Jian had a profound discussion with Xun You, and the two of them chatted for a whole day and night.

Liu Jian admired Xun You very much, and Xun You also admired Liu Jian very much.

Afterwards, Liu Jian began to summon the officials one by one who had secretly written letters to him, expressing his willingness to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side.
Of course, the ministers he summoned were the ones who, after writing letters to him, would take some food and grass from their families to appease the rebellious people in Guanzhong.

As for those ministers who only wrote to Liu Jian expressing their willingness to surrender, but refused to bleed, Liu Jian still regarded them as enemies!
These people only use words but refuse to express their sincerity. They are not trustworthy and must be attacked, severely.

Of course, Liu Jian also left them alive. As long as these people are willing to donate a large amount of their wealth to benefit the people in Guanzhong, Liu Jian can still forgive them.

Because as long as they are willing to donate things, it means that they realize that the world has changed and their concepts will change over time. Such people and families can still be saved.

But Liu Jian would not forgive those noble officials who still resisted.

Liu Jian invited all the princes and kings, as well as Liu Yu, Liu Yao and other famous clan members, as well as the court officials in the city, to interrogate the rebellion case of Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others.

Wang Yun and Yang Biao are now the Three Dukes. Logically speaking, only the emperor has the power to interrogate them.

But the emperor is now imprisoned in the palace by Liu Jian, and has no contact with the outside world at all.

Therefore, how to deal with Wang Yun and Yang Biao is almost a matter of words among the Liu clan members.

But Liu Jian did not want to turn his rectification of Wang Yun and Yang Biao into a public revenge.

He ordered the Tingwei Office to announce the progress of all interrogations every day.

At the same time, the evidence will be printed and publicized in Chang'an City, so that everyone in the world will know their criminal evidence.

Liu Jian knew in his heart that even if Wang Yun and Yang Biao were wrongly accused, as long as Li Jue's letters were there, their guilt could not be denied.

The common people in Guanzhong are very cruel to Li Jue and Guo Si!
Moreover, during this period, Liu Jian also "produced" a lot of evidence against the two of them.

Liu Jian can confidently say: Wang Yun and Yang Biao are dead this time.

Yang Biao's Hongnong The Yang family's property had already been confiscated by Liu Jian when he was in Hongnong.

Everyone in his clan was captured by Liu Jian, and he himself was almost paralyzed by Liu Jian in the court, posing no threat at all.

During the interrogation, Yang Biao was unconscious and basically didn't hear anything. He just grunted and responded.

Chun Yujia is a spineless weakling.

After being interrogated by Tingwei Mansion, he was immediately frightened and revealed his true colors, crying and begging Liu Jian for forgiveness.

Liu Jian and Chun Yujia repented and were willing to surrender to themselves, so they spared his life.

However, he asked Chun Yujia to tell the truth about his collusion with Wang Yun and Yang Biao in the rebellion, and sign it to make it known to the world.

Liu Jian promised Chun Yujia that as long as Chun Yujia was willing to cooperate with him in correcting Wang Yun and Yang Biao, he would not kill him or his family.

Of course, Chunyu Jia would never be able to gain a foothold in the court in the future. He would be demoted to a commoner, and his family would plummet because of this incident.The glory is no longer there, but at least he has left a life behind, and his family can continue.

Chun Yujia's testimony was transferred to the Tingwei Office, so Wang Yun and Yang Biao were completely done with it this time.

Of course, it is not just their two families who are involved, but also some prominent families whose interests are deeply bound to theirs. There is no escape this time.

It was publicly announced that Wang Yun, Chun Yujia and other prominent families who participated in Li Jue's rebellion were guilty, and their evidence of guilt was confirmed, but they were not sentenced again.

Liu Jian has Liu Jian's plan. After all, these two people are the third public and are famous all over the world. From his own point of view, if he goes against them directly now, he is afraid that he will be blamed by everyone in the world.

He will leave this matter to the new emperor after he ascends the throne.

Among the noble officials, Zhao Qi and Huang Wan, the leaders, expressed their submission to Liu Jian one after another. Among them, Huang Wan's submission surprised Liu Jian the most.

Although Huang Wan originally belonged to Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others, his influence was also very great.

Moreover, he was able to take the initiative to surrender, and at the same time expressed his sincerity, donating most of his family's food and baggage to appease the audience and people, and expressed his willingness to allow the Hebei Chamber of Commerce and Trade to settle in his family and take care of his family's property. Business and land, this shows that he is willing to let Liu Jian intervene in his family's affairs. This is a kind of consciousness to hand over his life to Liu Jian.

As soon as this incident came out, it showed that Huang Wan had no room to look back and completely threw himself on Liu Jian's boat.

Liu Jian didn't want to force them to death. As long as these noble families were willing to bow their heads like Huang Wan, Liu Jian would welcome them.

He accepted Huang Wan, and he also hoped to use Huang Wan as a model to tell the famous families in the world that as long as everyone is sensible and acts according to their own policies, they will all live a good life.

……

……

Just these matters in Chang'an, the Liu clan had been dealing with in Chang'an City for half a month.

That is to say, it is processed from New Year's Eve to the [-]th.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a group of ministers led by Huang Wan, Xun You, etc. suddenly entered the palace and met the emperor again!

They want to force the emperor to abdicate!
