My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 212 It’s better to come early than to come by chance
After not being beaten back for the fourth time, Zhao and Li understood what His Majesty meant, and also realized how strong His Majesty's "anger" was.

The fourth time.

The two people gradually figured out His Majesty's intentions and wrote many names on the list. This time, the emperor stared at it for a while and immediately issued it...

Then, Chang'an was boiling.

If you ask where in the world there are the most nobles, it is Chang'an. If you ask where the news of imperial edicts can be received the fastest, it is still Chang'an.

When Liu Ju received the news in Bowang Garden, it was already too late.

"Your Majesty issued an imperial decree to abolish 109 marquisate titles and reduce the fiefs of seven princes on the grounds that the quality of the treasury gold was insufficient."

In the carriage on the way back to the city, Jin Midi said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Zhao Zhou was also imprisoned for knowing the crime but not reporting it."

Chujin?

Liu Ju raised his eyebrows slightly, and took away the title...

He withdrew his gaze from the window and said, "You came to tell me urgently, is there anyone related to the Crown Prince's Palace who was also stripped of his title?"

"Exactly."

Jin Midi looked at the crown prince and said solemnly, "The general's second son, Wei Buyi, Marquis of Yin'an, and his youngest son, Wei Deng, Marquis of Fagan, have all been stripped of their titles."

"The general's former subordinates, including the Marquis of Heqi Gongsun Ao, and the general's former subordinates, including the Marquis of Huoqi Zhao Po Nu, were all eliminated."

"Grand Horseman, Nanhuan Marquis Gongsun He, the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, Pingqu Marquis Zhou Jiande, and..." Jin Midi said solemnly: "Pingle Marquis Li Gan, all have been stripped of their titles!"

The more Liu Ju listened, the deeper his frown grew.

Wei Buyi, Wei Deng, and Gongsun Ao are considered to be from Wei Qing's faction, while Zhao Po Nu is from Huo Qubing's faction.

Gongsun He was the emperor's confidant and Liu Ju's uncle. Zhou Jiande, who held the title of Grand Tutor, and Li Gan, not to mention, were all directly related to Liu Ju.

No wonder Jin Midi came in a hurry to report.

Meditate for a moment.

Liu Ju asked solemnly, "Who decides who will be removed from the title? The emperor?"

Jin Midi's eyes flashed with a cold look, and he said, "It's Shaofu Zhao Yu and Grand Chancellor Li Guangli!"

When Liu Ju heard the latter's name, his complexion improved slightly, and the chill in his heart subsided.

The coldness recedes, but the annoyance arises.

He was about to say something else when a hasty sound of reining in the horse came from outside the carriage. "Whoa!"

Soon.

A hoarse voice reported from the side of the carriage: "Your Highness, the envoy, Marquis Wuyang and his men have blocked the Shaofu and the Grand Order in front of Shangguan Street."

Ok?
After hearing this, Liu Ju secretly said, "Speed ​​up, hurry over there!"

"Here!"

At the same time, Shangguanqian Street.

Wuyang Marquis Li Guang stood on his horse with his sword drawn, his face flushed, his hair and beard standing up, and he shouted angrily at the carriage at the other end of the street: "Hey!"

"You two despicable villains, come down and die!"

Beside Li Guang, Li Gan was equally furious. "We fought so hard to get this title, can you take it away just because of your words?"

"come out!"

As he spoke, Li Gan squeezed his horse's belly hard and charged straight down the street.

Zhao Yu and Li Guangli's followers were shocked when they saw this, but they rushed forward to stop it.

As the main road of Chang'an City, there were many people on Shangguanqian Street at this moment. When they saw this situation, they hurriedly dodged in all directions.

Normally, if a conflict like this happened, someone would quickly come to stop it. However, the clerks and runners from the Left and Right Imperial Secretariats naturally did not dare to do so, after all, the officials on both sides of the conflict were too high-ranking.

Really quick to show up.

It should be——Lieutenant General’s Guard.

but.

The use of the word 'should' suggests that something went wrong with the capital's armed forces, rather than them not having arrived or being late.

But it has already arrived.

But instead of stopping the conflict, they joined it…

Who else could the group of people who followed Li Gan in the charge be if not the Ti cavalrymen wearing red robes and red tassels?
Li Gan, the official rank is lieutenant!
"Be bold!"

Zhao Yu got out of the front carriage and was shocked and angry when he saw this scene: "Li Gan, you actually abused your power for personal gain and even attacked the court officials?"

"Pooh!"

Li Gan's face was filled with anger. "You are worthy of being a minister?"

Although he said so, he still had a bit of rationality left. The Tiqi and Li Gan under his command did not carry any sharp blades and rushed forward with bare hands.

Pingle Hou...no.

There is no Marquis of Pingle anymore. He fought in the battlefields many times, received eighteen wounds on his chest, and fell off his horse, but he still fought his way out from the pile of dead bodies to gain the title.

Gone!

Li Gan's eyes were red, and he just wanted to beat these two despicable guys to death!
The son was fighting in the front, and the father was running to the back. When Li Guang was in a state of excitement, he was even more reckless than his son, and pointed his long sword directly at Li Guangli in front of the carriage:
"I fought the Huns to the death to win this title, and you want to take it away? Just because a few pieces of gold are not of good quality?"

"Whether it is a frame-up or not, you should come with me to His Majesty and explain clearly, otherwise don't blame me for bullying the weak today!"

Seeing this, Li Guangli had a blank expression on his face. "Whether it is a frame-up or not is not up to you. The court has the final say. General Chariot and Cavalry had better think clearly about what you are doing."

"Otherwise, don't blame the imperial court for being unforgiving!"

How could Li Guang, with his explosive temper, endure this high-sounding excuse? It was okay for his title to be abolished, but if his son had really broken the law, Li Guang would not say a word.

but.

Li Guangning would rather die than tolerate being framed with false charges!

Once the stubbornness in his heart came to a head, the old general could no longer suppress his anger, and he clenched the ring-handled sword in his hand tighter and tighter.

Sensing the murderous intent, Li Guangli on the carriage also clenched his sword. Just when the two sides were about to fight...

"stop!"

It doesn't work, no one cares.

But the knight who came running quickly said, "The prince has ordered that you stop immediately. If anyone fights in the street again, they will be severely punished!"

Zhao Yu, who had been punched in the corner of his eye, was furious and cursed in his heart, "Is this a fight? This is a fucking attack!"

Fortunately.

The prince's order to take sides still worked.

Li Gan, who was furious, stopped what he was doing and looked back. Li Guang, who was about to take action, also paused for a moment.

The prince's carriage was not far behind the knights. In a moment, many guards of the prince's palace rushed here and dispersed the people nearby who were watching the excitement.

By the time the situation was under control, the carriage had finally come to a complete stop.

Liu Ju came down with a cold face, glanced at the scene, and immediately frowned and said: "They are all high-ranking officials, fighting each other in the street, how can it be allowed?"

"Get out of here!"

Li Guang and Li Gan walked up to Liu Ju. Old man Li seemed to have found his backbone. He was angry and aggrieved. He started:
"Your Highness, my son has been wrongly accused!"

Li Gan clasped his fists and said resolutely: "Your Highness, the tribute I offered is absolutely in full. If there is any falsehood, I am willing to commit suicide on the spot!"

"As for the quality, I dare not say it is the best, but I can guarantee that it is pure gold!"

Hear the words.

Liu Ju said nothing, glanced at Zhao and Li behind him, then turned sideways and frowned at Li Guang and his son, saying, "I know, we'll talk about this later."

"Withdraw the Tiqi first."

Beating someone is not right, and injuring someone is even less right. Using the imperial guards to beat someone is no longer within the realm of reason, but a crime...

Li Guang and his son were too impulsive.

But to be honest, it is understandable, because when it comes to the title of Marquis, few people can remain calm...

I saw.

Just as Liu Ju was talking to Li's father and son, a group of people came running from the south end of the street, all holding sticks and clubs, looking very aggressive.

The leaders were all prominent figures in Shangguan. Without exception, they were all descendants of nobles, or “second-generation rich” in short.

"They're right there, hit them!"

Upon hearing that Zhao Yu and Li Guangli were blocked, this group of guys immediately led their servants over. As soon as they met, they shouted their old slogans without a word of nonsense:
"It's mine to kill!"

"on!"

In the past, they were used to being arrogant in Chang'an. When they heard that their titles were stripped, especially the eldest sons of the marquises, they were filled with anger and the long swords in their hands were clearly aimed at their lives.

Saw this scene.

Liu Ju's brows relaxed, thinking that he had come at the right time. He waved his hand and said, "Go, take the imperial guards to protect the Grand Chancellor and the Minister of the Imperial Household."

"Why..."

Li Gan was obviously confused and wanted to argue, but at this moment, Liu Ju, who had just been smiling, suddenly turned gloomy!

Li Gan's heart trembled as he looked at him. Li Guang, who was standing beside him, kicked his son and said, "Just go if His Highness tells you to go. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Here!"

Li Gan clasped his fists and quickly led the Tiqi to protect the two despicable villains.

"There is a hidden story behind the seizure of the title." After he left, Liu Ju regained his composure and said calmly, "I will give you an explanation later."

"Your Highness, could it be that..."

Li Guang had only said half of his words when he saw another group of people coming from the east end of the street. Old man Li's act of blocking them today was like a call to action, and also like stirring up a hornet's nest.

More and more people come seeking revenge.

The person who could make Li Guang interrupt him was certainly not a simple person. The person was none other than the Grand Marshal, General of the Cavalry, and Marquis of Guanjun Huo Qubing!

Liu Ju looked at it intently, and his first reaction was that it felt tricky.

But the second reaction.

He was suddenly startled, looked at his cousin who was approaching slowly on his horse, and then looked at Li Guangli who was loudly scolding the son of a nobleman on his left, and thought to himself:

'Eh. '

"You came just in time!"
