Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 270 Pain kills me too!

Liu Yuan fell into reminiscing, and his face turned a little pale.

The eunuch over there saw it and quickly said with a smile: "The two princes are probably on their way back."

"It's not easy for these two children!" Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "They are all hard-working people. My two brothers passed away early, but these two children also strived for success. Now they are both Among the heroes of our clan, apart from Cong'er, among my biological sons, no one can compare with these two adopted sons. If it were not for the sake of the stability of the country, I would not separate them at this time, but Even so, if we want to stabilize our clan in the future, the help of the two of them is indispensable."

Hearing the Lord of the Huns sighing like this, the eunuch didn't dare to interrupt casually because the topic was too sensitive.

Liu Yuan sighed with emotion, then suddenly changed the subject: "But then again, with this great victory on the battlefield, the Han family's court might be angry with the people in the Middle-earth. Yao'er and the others will not be in a good situation, I'm afraid. They are going to be chased, but both of them are dragons among men, and they will definitely be able to turn danger into good. Moreover, Yunyan had talked about a similar situation before going there, so he must have been prepared for it. As long as others are prepared, In the land of Middle-earth, no one can leave them behind."

As Liu Yuan was talking here, someone suddenly came from outside the palace to announce that it was Prince Liu Cong who wanted to see him.

"It's already this time, why is the prince here?" The eunuch next to him was a little confused.

"Cong'er is here, I'm afraid, because of what he said in the court today, he wants to persuade me to go further. I just want to talk to him." Liu Yuan nodded and let him go.

Soon, a slender man walked in.

The prince Liu Cong was handsome and handsome, and he actually had the demeanor of a famous scholar when he walked. When he came to the palace, he respectfully saluted Liu Yuan according to Han rites, and then said: "My son is worried about the health of my father. Hearing that the father has not yet slept peacefully, I came here specially to advise him, the father is the safety of the family and the country, so he should rest in peace."

"It's a good thing you came, I was just about to talk to you." Liu Yuan ignored Liu Cong's words. The father and son sat opposite each other, and he said: "Now that our clan has won a great victory and has reached the north of Bingzhou, even if it belongs to the Han people, If the imperial court sends troops and horses again, we can fight steadily and give up half of the land at most. By then, it will be enough for us to gather all the people and livestock in Hedong, and our future inheritance will be established."

When Liu Cong heard these words, he no longer comforted him, but sat upright, as if he was all ears.

Liu Yuan continued: "You have studied the articles of the Han family. You should know that you can conquer the world immediately, but you cannot rule the world by conquering them all. During this march, several armies of our clan passed through many places. There is burning, killing and looting. Such behavior is too bad. How is it different from livestock? How can such military discipline achieve great things? So after I leave, you must rectify the situation and not tolerate such behavior."

Liu Cong nodded, then opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Liu Yuan waved his hand and said: "You don't need to say more. My body knows it. To put it mildly, it has improved slightly, but it has been overdrawn for a long time. It is probably that I am recovering, but I can still support it for a while. During this period, I will fight for you." Very basic.”

When Liu Cong heard this, he looked sad.

Liu Yuan reprimanded: "How can a man act like a mother-in-law? Listen to me. I have deliberately suppressed several Han officials in the court, but in fact they are all capable, and they must lay the foundation for the future. We have to rely on them to lay the foundation and let them set rules for future generations. This is my plan. You listen to it first. From tomorrow on, I will act like an old and foolish person, suppress capable ministers, and then promote a few nobles in the clan. stand up."

"No!" Liu Cong immediately warned: "Many people in our clan are arrogant and extravagant, and they act unscrupulously. They often bully others. If they are promoted too much, they will be too powerful and difficult to govern. It will inevitably affect the government and cause sudden changes in the national situation. In fact, these two The father of Japan has promoted two kings with the same surname, and his ministers are ready to dissuade them. If these two people are too powerful, they may not be able to subjugate them..."

"My son, don't worry," Liu Yuan nodded with a smile, quite satisfied with Liu Cong's analysis, "This is to pave the way for you. Tomorrow, a minister will come forward to talk about their crimes. At that time, my father will kill them both." If you come forward to plead for punishment, my father will use the opportunity to deprive them of their power and leave favors to you. The other Han ministers are now in destitution. Under my guidance, there is a faint tendency in the clan to look down on Han'er. You happened to go over to show your kindness, and in a few days, you will invite them to be officials. After that, I will gradually promote the atmosphere and improve Han'er's personality by a little bit..."

The father and son had a heart-to-heart talk face to face. One knew that he was about to die soon and wanted to make more preparations for his son. The other listened calmly to his father's story about life and his experience as a king.

As they talked, the night got deeper, but both of them still had more to say.

"Father, according to you, the world of the Han people may change in the future?" After Liu Cong said this, his expression changed slightly, and there was a glint in his eyes.

Liu Yuan smiled and said: "I know your thoughts, but they are a bit unrealistic. After all, the Central Plains belongs to the Han family. The Han family has enjoyed the world for 500 years. After several interruptions, they have all returned. This is where destiny belongs. Of course we are bathed in it. The teachings of saints are different in the eyes of the scholars in the Central Plains. Since ancient times, there has never been anyone like ours who can become the master."

"Is that why my father doesn't want to go further?"

Seeing Liu Cong's disappointed look, Liu Yuan said again: "If you can unite the brothers, especially let Yao'er and Yunyan be your right-hand man, and then build up a strong army to wait for the changes in the world, and then send troops to support the court and carry out Cao Dong's work, Waiting for the changes in the world, it is possible to aspire to the throne. After all, our surname is Liu, and if we follow the royal way and teach, we may be able to become the orthodoxy of the world."

Hearing this, Liu Cong's eyes brightened and his breathing quickened. Then he lowered his head and said, "My son, I understand. Please keep this in mind, but the most important thing now is to cooperate with your father to subdue several members of the clan and then benevolent Han." minister."

Seeing that he was so sensible, Liu Yuan was even more happy, with a light red face, and nodded: "It's best if you have this intention. When Yao'er and the others come back, you brothers will work together and we will make it happen!"

Liu Cong made a gesture of missing him and said, "The two of them are now in China and have not returned. I don't know what the situation is like." Liu Yuan smiled and said, "With their abilities, nothing will happen to them. I have high hopes for them. They We will be the pillars of our clan in the future!" As he said that, he lowered his head and coughed twice, and Liu Cong quickly stepped forward to help him.

Liu Yuan waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I can still hold on. Even if I can't hold on, I have to help you get rid of the troubles first. Otherwise, wouldn't those kings with the same surname be too big to lose their tails?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there were rapid footsteps coming from outside the palace, and then several officials hurriedly came outside the palace and knelt down silently.

When Liu Yuan saw this, he frowned and asked Liu Cong to sit back down. Then he waved his hand and asked people to come over.

Several eunuchs looked at each other, and the last one stepped forward and murmured, "Your Majesty, there is a message from the south about the little prince."

"Is there any news from Yun Yan? It seems that all my worries were in vain." Liu Yuan nodded with relief, then noticed the eunuch's expression and asked, "Why are you like this? Could it be that something happened to Yunyan? He has defeated famous chess players in China one after another, which has greatly increased the prestige of our clan, and there are many arrangements, how could something happen?" When he said this, he was very excited just now, and suddenly It suddenly took a turn for the worse, and this drastic change made his chest feel a little tight.

The eunuch raised his head and said cautiously: "The little prince... he was... beheaded by the people from the Central Plains!"

"What did you say?" Liu Yuan stood up immediately, and blood suddenly filled his face, "You say it again!?"

The eunuch trembled all over, but he still said bravely: "Your Majesty, the little prince has gone!"

Liu Cong also looked dumbfounded. The news came too suddenly. The father and son were talking about the future Zhu Kingdom, but in the blink of an eye they were talking about being killed by someone.

"Bastard!" Liu Yuan slammed his hand on the ground, and the red color on his face became more and more intense, "What are you talking about? Yunyan has been a master of scheming and chess since he was a child. He is also familiar with military strategists. He is the future leader of our clan. Marquis Wu and Marquis Chen, on their way south this time, they have made three strategies: upper, middle and lower, how can they make mistakes?"

The eunuch was filled with grievances after being reprimanded by Liu Yuan. After all, he was just here to report. How could he know the specific situation?But he didn't dare to talk back, so he could only say carefully: "This servant is just listening to the messenger. He is still outside. The king might as well let him come in to talk."

"Xuan!"

"Your Majesty! Sad news!" The messenger was also dressed as a scholar, but he fell to the ground and cried bitterly as soon as he entered.

Liu Yuan looked at the man in front of him, took two sharp breaths, and then asked sharply: "Jin Zhun, raise your head and tell me clearly, what is going on?"

The man named Jin Zhun quickly raised his head, wiped his tears, and said intermittently: "It is said that it was a man named Chen Zhi, who killed the little prince."

"Chen Zhi?"

Liu Yuan's eyes widened, with bloodshot eyes spreading, revealing a look of worry, but more of a look of doubt and reluctance to believe.

Immediately afterwards, Jin Zhun recounted the situation of the chess game before the battle that day. However, he had obviously just received the information, so what he knew was incomplete and intermittently. But after what he said, Liu Yuan and his son still understood. Probably the situation.

But Liu Yuan didn't want to believe it, and instead said sharply: "You said Yunyan lost the game of chess and was killed by the formation? Yao led the troops to charge, but was defeated, or was he defeated by the infantry? I don't know whether he lives or dies? You are my king Are you a fool! How dare you deceive like this? Believe it or not, I will chop off your head!" At this time, the blood on his face was so rich that it was almost impossible to get rid of it.

Liu Cong looked on, secretly thinking something was wrong, and winked at Jin Zhun.

But Jin Zhun's original intention was to come here in a hurry to report and take the opportunity to curry favor. He never thought that Liu Yuan was going to chop off his head. In panic, he said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I am really not deceiving!"

Before he could finish his plea for mercy, several more eunuchs hurriedly came in from outside the door, saying many names, all wanting to see Liu Yuan.

How could Liu Yuan not understand this posture?

"My son! It hurts me too!"

He screamed, and the blood on his face instantly receded, becoming as pale as paper. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and then he threw his head back and fell.
