Chapter 574: Emperor Han is seriously ill
Sweet potatoes are delicious, and there are many ways to eat them.
It can be eaten steamed, fried, or grilled.
When the way to eat sweet potatoes gradually became popular, more and more people wanted to eat sweet potatoes.
However, all the sweet potatoes were purchased by the imperial court, and others who wanted to eat sweet potatoes had to buy them.
And sweet potatoes are not very many, so ordinary people can't afford to buy them, and only those powerful and wealthy businessmen have the financial resources to buy them.
Being able to eat sweet potatoes is a very happy thing for the powerful and wealthy businessmen.
And those people who grow sweet potatoes will regret their death at this time.
They didn't know at first that sweet potatoes would be so expensive and so popular, and if they knew, one acre of sweet potatoes would be better than the corn harvest they planted three acres.
They feel like they're losing a lot.
But even so, what can they do?
All I can do is to grow some sweet potatoes next year, and then sell them and eat them myself.
The Tang Kingdom was developing rapidly in all aspects, and the hoarding of grain was also increasing.
These grains can allow the Tang Kingdom to fight a big war for a few years without worrying about the problem of grain and grass.
Time passed like this, and after winter, something suddenly happened on the side of the Han Kingdom.
Probably because of the colder weather, Liu Jibang, the son of the Han Kingdom, occasionally felt a cold, and at first he was just unwell, but then it became more and more serious.
The Imperial Doctor tried many methods, but none of them had any effect.
For a time, the entire Jincheng suddenly became solemn, and the wind and rain were coming.
In the palace, Liu Jibang's bedroom, Liu Jibang was lying at the head of the bed, and the whole person became very weak.
And next to him, stood Zhang Liang.
"Aiqing, you are the most trustworthy person I trust, and now I am afraid that I will not be able to survive this level, many things, I am afraid that I will tell you about it and listen to your opinion."
When Zhang Liang heard this, he looked a little frightened, and hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, you just have a minor illness, just recuperate." ”
Liu Jibang smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "Aiqing, I know my illness, you don't have to say this to make me happy, you just need to answer my question." ”
"Holy Lord, please speak." At this time, Zhang Liang was very worried, and his whole person became a little cautious, because, before an emperor was about to die, he must have to think about some questions for his heir, if he answered badly, he was afraid that there would be no good end.
"If I die, is Zhang Aiqing willing to assist the prince, just like assisting me?"
Hearing this, Zhang Liang's heart sank slightly, he felt that he had guessed correctly, an emperor was about to die, and he really began to eliminate some people who were not good for him, or the entire Han Kingdom.
The prince is young after all.
Zhang Liang did not hesitate at all, and said: "Holy Lord, the minister is loyal to the Han Kingdom, as long as the minister is in one day, he will definitely do his best to die for the Han Kingdom." ”
Seeing Zhang Liang say such words, Liu Jibang nodded with satisfaction: "I have always trusted Aiqing, and I also believe that Aiqing did not deceive me, so I continue to ask you, if I die, will this Han Xin be removed, or not?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Liang looked stunned, and then asked, "What does the Holy One mean?" "Han Xin has some military power, and this person is good at using soldiers, I am here, and I can suppress him, but if I am not there, the prince is young, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control him, if he bullies the prince when he is young and takes away my Han family, wouldn't it be dangerous?" It's just that now the countries are conquest, and I am Han
I offended Tang Guo again, and the only one who could resist Tang Guo was Han Xin, so I would be a little hesitant and entangled. ”
As he spoke, Liu Jibang glanced up at Zhang Liang again and said, "Does Aiqing have any good suggestions?" Zhang Liang thought for a while and said: "Shengshang, the Tang Kingdom is strong, if there is turmoil in my Han Kingdom, he will definitely send troops to destroy my Han Kingdom, it is a minister who thinks that Han Xin can continue to stay, as long as Han Xin is there, it can ensure that my Han Kingdom is safe, as for Han Xin dares to bully others, the Holy Lord does not have to worry,
There were many soldiers and horses in the Han Kingdom, but Han Xin only mastered a small part, and the ministers would never allow Han Xin to do such things. ”
Zhang Liang analyzed the situation of the Han Kingdom now, in his opinion, the biggest threat to the Han Kingdom today is not Han Xin, but the Tang State, no matter how ambitious Han Xin is, it is not easy for him to subvert the Han Kingdom, after all, there are so many people in the Han Kingdom, which allows him to do this?
But Tang Guocai doesn't care about this, as long as Liu Jibang dies, the Han State will definitely take the opportunity to use troops against the Han State, at that time, if there is no Han Xin, who of them is sure that they can keep the Han State?
After Zhang Liang finished saying this, Liu Jibang thought for a while, and then nodded: "Aiqing is reasonable, so how does Aiqing think Ruyi should be arranged?" ”
Ruyi, Liu Jibang's youngest son, was the one who competed with Liu Ying, the son of Empress Lu, for the crown prince, Liu Jibang still likes this prince very much, so he has a lot of favors.
It's just that later, he was still not anxious about Queen Lu's means, so he had no choice but to set up Liu Ying as the crown prince.
But he knows the woman Queen Lu very well, and knows that if he dies, Liu Ruyi and Mrs. Qi are afraid that the fate will not be good, so now, he asked Zhang Liang for advice.
This question is not very easy to answer, Zhang Liang hesitated for a long time, and after a long time, he finally spoke: "The Holy Lord must already have an answer in his heart, right?" Liu Jibang was stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Liang to say this, he showed a light smile, and said: "I am going to transfer Ruyi out of the capital and let him go back to his fiefdom, so that he and Mrs. Qi can go to the fief and have some of their own soldiers and horses to protect, so that even if the queen hates them again, she will not act rashly." ”
There are still many vassal kings in the Han Kingdom, and it is nothing for Empress Lu to do something to Mrs. Qi, but if the other vassal kings mistakenly think that Empress Lu is going to cut the domain, then the other vassal kings may have to rebel.
Although this Empress Lu is vicious, she is a smart woman, and she should not risk being rebelled by other vassal kings to deal with Madame Qi.
In this case, Liu Jibang had thought about it a long time ago, without him, the safety of Mrs. Qi and Liu Ruyi would definitely be problematic.
Zhang Liang said: "The arrangement of the saint is okay, but this fief must not be too rich, otherwise it will also cause some trouble for Mrs. Qi and them." ”。
If the fiefdom is too strong, it will attract jealousy, then Mrs. Qi and Liu Ruyi's skills are average, the reason why they were able to show off their power before was also because of Liu Jibang's favor, but if there is no Liu Jibang, who will take them seriously?
So when it's time to keep a low profile, it's better to keep a low profile as much as possible. The two monarchs and ministers said like this.
