Chapter 614: Murder in public
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Liu Liang took Liu Zhang and Liu Xing to Luoyang, Liu Xiu was very happy, and held a banquet in the palace that day, warmly entertaining his uncle and two nephews, and then he ordered Zhang Kun to choose a house for Liu Liang, Liu Zhang, and Liu Xing in Luoyang.
The next day, Liu Xiu found the great Sikong Song Hong, the great Situ Fu Zhan, and the Shangshu Zongguang to discuss the matter together.
After talking about government affairs, Liu Xiu changed his words and said happily: "Yesterday, my uncle's family and two nephews came to Luoyang. ”
Song Hong, Fu Zhan, and Zong Guang looked at each other, and the latter said: "Wechen has also heard about it, but I haven't had time to visit Liu Gong and the two sons yet. Liu Xiu said in a sad tone: "My uncle brought me up single-handedly, and until now, I have not been able to fulfill the grace of parenting; Zhang'er and Xing'er are all orphans of my eldest brother, and over the years, they have suffered a lot of humiliation and hardships outside! "Say
Here, he glanced at Song Hong, Fu Zhan, and Zong Guang again, and then said meaningfully: "Now that they have all come to Luoyang, I should compensate them well!" ”
Song Hong, Fu Zhan, and Zong Guang are all people who have read the scriptures and books, and Liu Xiu's words have turned around, but his thoughts, the three of them have already understood them.
They looked at each other, but Zong Guang opened his mouth and said: "Duke Liu and Your Majesty are like father and son, General Liu Xuan and Your Majesty are even more brotherly, no matter what kind of reward Your Majesty gives Duke Liu and the two sons of Liu, others will not say anything!" ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, his eyes lit up, he cleared his throat, and said, "I thought that my uncle, Zhang'er, and Xing'er should all be crowned kings." After speaking, he carefully observed the changes in the expressions of Song Hong, Fu Zhan, and Zong Guang.
Liu Xiugui is the Son of Heaven, he wants to be crowned king, he can completely ignore the opinions of others and settle the matter himself.
But Liu Xiu is not such a person. His world was brought down by the ministers for him, and the country of the Han family was also established by the ministers with blood and sweat.
And Liu Liang, Liu Zhang, and Liu Xing were crowned kings all of a sudden before they made an inch of merit in the Han Dynasty, will it make the ministers of the court and China dissatisfied? Liu Xiu can't help but consider these things. Fu Zhan opened his mouth and said: "With the ancestral system of the Han family, you can't be crowned king unless you have the surname Liu!" The ministers of meritorious service have all been made marquis by His Majesty, and there are many marquis of ten thousand households, and now His Majesty wants to crown Liu Gong and Liu Zhang and Liu Xing as kings
Be apprehensive. "Song Hong, Fu Zhan, and Zong Guang are all human spirits, Liu Xiu said this, they also understood that this time His Majesty invited them into the palace, and the discussion of politics was just a pretense, the real purpose was to probe their tone and see how they were interested in canonizing Liu Liang and Liu Zhang
, Liu Xing's reaction to the king.
Fu Zhan's words made Liu Xiu's mood suddenly brighten. His son was crowned king, and the ministers would never say anything, but Liu Liang, Liu Zhang, and Liu Xing were not his sons after all, but his uncle and nephew, who were suddenly sealed without making any contributions
Wang, Liu Xiu is also a little bottomless in his heart.
Seeing that Fu Zhan and Zong Guang both expressed their support, Liu Xiu looked at Song Hong with a smile and asked, "What does Song Sikong think?" ”
Song Hong bowed down and said, "This is the business of His Majesty's family, and Weichen has no objections. ”
Through the statements of the three of them, Liu Xiu finally put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Since Sikong, Situ, and Shangshu have no objections, then, I will settle this matter!" "Liu Xiu is a person and attaches great importance to feelings, he can be affectionate and righteous to the ministers under his command, can he still be worse than his own relatives? Liu Xiu wants to give Liu Liang, Liu Zhang, and Liu Xing the crown, and no one will be stupid enough to stand up and express their opposition and ask for their own bad luck
。
On the third day after Liu Xiu and Song Hong, Fu Zhan, and Zong Guang discussed, the edict was issued.
He canonized Liu Liang as the king of Guangyang, Liu Zhang as the king of Taiyuan, and Liu Xing as the king of Lu.
With it, Liu Xiu canonized the eldest sister Liu Huang as the eldest princess of Huyang, the younger sister Liu Boji as the eldest princess of Ningping, and the late second sister Liu Yuan as the eldest princess of Xinye.
In addition, he ordered to build palaces and princess mansions for Liu Liang, Liu Zhang, Liu Xing, Liu Huang, and Liu Boji in Luoyang City. As the saying goes, if a person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven. Liu Xiu became the emperor, his uncle and nephew were crowned kings, and his sister and sister were also crowned princesses. The Liu family of Chungling can be said to be completely outstanding in Luoyang, and the news spread, which also made many Liu
The clan relatives came to vote one after another, and many of them were old ministers. For the clansmen who came to defect, Liu Xiu also treated each other with courtesy, the king of the king, and the marquis of the marquis.
Liu Huang has long had her own mansion in Luoyang, and now she has been officially canonized as a princess, and the mansion has naturally been renamed the princess's mansion. was canonized as the eldest princess, Liu Huang was full of joy, and the house slaves in her house were even more excited.
The master of his own family is the eldest princess of Huyang, the sister of the Son of Heaven, the niece of the King of Guangyang, and the eldest aunt of the King of Taiyuan and the King of Lu.
Many of the house slaves in the princess's mansion got carried away, especially those who were favored by Liu Huang, and their eyes were even higher than the top, and their buttocks were about to rise to the sky.
Among them, there is a house slave named Zhang Fan, who is very loved by Liu Huang.
Zhang Fan is a person who is very good-looking, big and tall, with a face as white as jade, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips like a sword.
The image of the whole person can be called dignified and graceful, walking on the street, no one dares to believe that he is a house slave, and will think that he is a handsome son of a rich family.
If you only look good, it's just that, Zhang Fan can still speak well, speak like a spring, and in a few words, he can coax Liu Huang around.
Among the many house slaves in the princess's mansion, Zhang Fan is the most favored and trusted by Liu Huang, and there are even rumors outside that there is an adulterous affair between Liu Huang and Zhang Fan.
In fact, Liu Huang likes Zhang Fan, but there is no adultery.
Liu Huang is a princess after all, and Zhang Fan is just a house slave, the identity gap between the two is there, no matter how bad Liu Huang's background is, he will not do anything with a house slave.
Zhang Fan relied on Liu Huang's love, and in Luoyang City, he was almost hanging sideways.
The main reason is that Zhang Fan is also very clever, he knows how to watch people put dishes on the plate, and when he encounters ministers in the court, he can avoid it, he can't avoid it, and he is also polite, and he doesn't dare to trespass in the slightest.
When encountering a minister who was not too heavy, Zhang Fan didn't take it seriously at all.
On this day, Zhang Fan took a few domestic slaves from the princess's mansion to wander around the streets of Luoyang, preparing to buy a few delicious snacks and bring them back to the princess's mansion for Liu Huang to taste.
As he walked, he didn't know why, but he faintly heard as if someone was talking about a personal affair between him and the princess.
Zhang Fan was furious, if others slandered him, he might be able to take it seriously and laugh it off, but someone dared to slander the princess and the 'goddess' in his heart, it was tantamount to stepping on Zhang Fan's tail.
He suddenly stopped in the street, looked around, and shouted, "Who is chewing on the root of the tongue?" ”
His sudden voice startled the pedestrians on the street.
There were Luoyang locals, and when they saw that it was Zhang Fan, they were so frightened that they shrank their necks and hurriedly walked away, for fear of setting themselves on fire. And some outsiders didn't understand what was going on, and looked at Zhang Fan inexplicably.
Luoyang is the largest city in addition to Chang'an, and now Liu Xiuding is the capital in Luoyang, and the prosperity of Luoyang has reached a higher level, and now it is above Chang'an.
There are many outsiders who come to Luoyang, some are seeking officials, some are doing business, some are for play, some are settling, in short, there is everything.
Among these outsiders, there are also many stunned young people. A dark-skinned man in a linen shirt and hemp pants muttered casually and walked away scolding. Zhang Fan's ears were very pointy, and he heard the other party's whispered abuse clearly,
He was already angry, but now he heard someone scolding him, and judging by his dress, he was an ordinary person.
He raised his hand to grasp the hilt of his sword, strode over, grabbed the clothes on the shoulders of the swarthy man, and asked in a condensed voice, "Who are you scolding?" ”
The swarthy man was also a horizontal man, turned around, looked Zhang Fan up and down, and saw that he was born beautiful and brightly dressed, and suddenly looked at him with contempt, tilted his head, and said with a smile: "Nai Weng (Lao Tzu) is the one who scolds you!" What's going on? ”
Zhang Fan looked at the swarthy man, and laughed out loud, laughing angrily. He slowly loosened the swarthy man's clothes from his shoulders, and patted the folds for him to smooth them out, then nodded, turned around, and walked back.
The swarthy man sneered and scolded, "What is it? The imperial capital is full of this thing......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fan, who had already turned around, drew his sword without warning, turned his head suddenly, aimed at the swarthy man, and stabbed him with a sword.
In the ear chakra, he heard a pop, and a sword pierced his heart. The blade of the sword pierced through the swarthy man's heart, and the tip of the sword poked out from behind it.
The swarthy man didn't even have time to scream, he fell to the ground, his body twitching only a few times, and then he stopped moving.
Seeing people on the street, in broad daylight, everyone watched, killed people in public, and the pedestrians on the street screamed and fled in all directions.
Zhang Fan was holding a blood-dripping saber and looked at the corpse on the ground, also a little dumbfounded. He was arrogant and domineering on weekdays, but it was the first time he killed someone, and the whole person was stunned.
Seeing this, several house slaves who came out with Zhang Fan changed their faces greatly, and they rushed up, pulled Zhang Fan's clothes, and said urgently: "What are you doing standing here stupidly?" Let's go! ”
Several house slaves, pulling the confused Zhang Fan, fled back to the princess's mansion.
After returning to the princess's mansion, Zhang Fan finally came to his senses, he took the initiative to see Liu Huang, and after meeting, without waiting to speak, he first knelt on the ground with a puff, hugged his head and cried.
Liu Huang was stunned by Zhang Fan's crying, and asked with concern: "Zhang Fan, what's wrong?" Why are you crying? ”
"Eldest princess, villain...... The villain just killed someone outside......"
"What?" When Liu Huang heard this, he was also taken aback, and involuntarily stood up and looked at Zhang Fan with a surprised face.
Zhang Fan choked up and said: "Just now the villain left the house, I was going to buy some snacks for the princess, but I didn't expect to meet someone who was passing on the princess's rights and wrongs, the villain ...... The villain didn't hold back, so he killed the thief who chewed his tongue and ......"
Liu Huang asked, "What is wrong with that person passing on this princess?" ”
"This ...... This...... The villain really didn't dare to say ......"
"It's okay to be straight!"
"Princess ......"
"Say!"
"That'...... And the thief said, The princess and the villain have ...... There is a misdeed......"
Liu Huang didn't react for a while, frowned and asked, "What misdeeds?" ”
"That's it...... That is to say, the princess fornicated with the villain, and did ...... unscrupulous things"
Speaking of this, Zhang Fan slammed his head on the ground, cried, choked up and said: "Others slandered the villain, and the villain could ignore it, but he actually slandered the princess, and the villain really couldn't hold back, so he killed the thief......"
"Is that so?" After Liu Huang heard this, he was also furious, and his face turned red with anger. Now that she is chasing after Song Hong, how can she allow others to ruin her reputation like this? "The villain doesn't dare to deceive the princess, they can all testify for the villain!" Zhang Fan raised his hand and pointed to several other house slaves. The house slaves then knelt on the ground and bowed forward.
