Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 6 Success in Heaven Section 27
Chapter 6 Success in the Twenty-seventh Section When the eldest princess was recuperating in Longquan, no one was seen, only Mrs. Xiaoyu and the general, two babbling daughters, accompanied her.
The eldest princess of Yang'an, Xiao Lan, the wife of Li Wei, the eldest song, and Cai Yan, the daughter of Taichang Cai Yong, rushed to Longquan to ask for a meeting, but they were all rejected by the eldest princess.
In the matter of Jinyang, the eldest princess didn't want the people of the general's family to interfere, so as not to harm the innocent, and at the same time, she didn't want the people from the eldest princess's mansion to come forward, so as not to condone and protect and tolerate **.
Because there was no suitable person to preside over the case, the matter dragged on. The eldest princess fell ill, the minister was imprisoned in the palace governor's mansion, and the heavy government was all pressed on Xian Yufu, Li Wei and Xun You.
The matter of Jinyang must be dealt with immediately, otherwise the people of Hebei will be panicked and the consequences will be worrying. For this reason, the three of them wrote to the eldest princess several times, demanding that the case of Jinyang's rebellion be tried immediately and that some innocent ministers be released as soon as possible.
However, at present, there is no minister in the court who is qualified to preside over the trial of this case, and the eldest princess is worried.
One day in July, Xian Yufu personally rushed to Longquan to discuss the matter with the eldest princess.
"Your Royal Highness, the minister recommended the son of the former Taifu Liu Yu, and the important minister of the first emperor's dynasty, Liu He, to preside over the trial of this case." Xian Yufu's words suddenly made the eldest princess's eyes light up and she was overjoyed.
She forgot about Liu He. After Liu Yu died of illness, Liu He kept filial piety for his father for three years. By June of this year, the three-year period had expired.
Back then, it was this clan minister who escorted her to Hejian Country in Hebei, and then sent her to Northern Xinjiang.
"Thank you." The eldest princess bowed slightly, sincerely grateful.
"If it weren't for you to support the imperial court, Hebei might have ......," she shook her head sadly, tears falling quietly.
"Is Your Majesty alright?"
"Your Majesty, he ......" Xian Yufu looked up at the eldest princess and said in a low voice,
"Your Majesty has been in a very bad mood these days, he wants to stay with the queen, I don't know if His Royal Highness can ......"
"I can't." The eldest princess refused. In mid-July, Liu He rushed from Zhuo County to Jinyang day and night.
Liu He was accompanied by Wei You, Sun Jin, Zhang Yi, Zhang Zhan, Wei Dun and other subordinates of the former Taifu Liu Yu.
Xian Yu Fu out of the thirty miles. He and Liu He, Wei You, and Sun Jin have not seen each other for more than a year. When they met again at this time, they were very excited about each other, but the atmosphere in Jinyang was too heavy, and Xian Yufu couldn't be happy if he wanted to.
"Yu Xing, I brought you all the people you asked me to bring in your letters." Liu He beckoned behind him.
Three young people in their twenties hurriedly ran to Liu He's side and knelt down to kowtow to Xian Yufu.
"Alright, alright, all up." Xian Yufu helped the three of them up,
"Do a good job, don't embarrass me, let alone the general, you know?" The three young men nodded their heads in unison.
The tall and thin, handsome-looking young man on the left is called Xu Miao, a native of Jicheng, Youzhou, a disciple of Liu He and a relative of Xian Yufu.
This person is good at painting and calligraphy, especially good at painting people and fish, and is very talented. The handsome young man in the middle is called Sun Li, a native of Zhuo County, Youzhou.
He studied under Lu Zhi, both civil and military. Last year, when Xian Yufu was ordered to Handan to preside over the revision of the military system, he wanted to take him with him, but he politely refused in the name of keeping filial piety to his teacher.
This time, Xian Yufu forcibly recruited him. The young man on the right is mighty and handsome, and he is Yan Zhi, the younger brother of Yan Rou, the general of Duliao.
Yan Rou believed that it would be difficult for a martial artist to get ahead after all, so he asked his younger brother to learn scriptures from a famous teacher.
Before Xian Yufu finished speaking, Liu He began to shake his hand,
"These three people give it to me first. When Jinyang's affairs are dealt with, you will be appointed separately. ”
"Whatever you want." Xian Yufu sighed,
"I'll take you to Longquan to meet the eldest princess." On the carriage, Liu He's face was very ugly after listening to Xian Yufu's narration,
"What did you say in your letter? How can you lie to me? ”
"I'm not lying to you, can you come?" Xian Yufu smiled helplessly,
"Zi'an, who else in Hebei can handle this matter now besides you?"
"You ......" Liu He was so angry that he opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to scold if he wanted to scold.
"You've made me miserable. What do you want me to do about this? No matter how I deal with it, in the end, I will either offend the Son of Heaven or the eldest princess. Didn't I run to Jinyang to find death like Fu Wan. ”
"Yu Xing, you, you ......" Wei You stared at his eyes, his fingers were not supplemented, and he shook his head again and again,
"You killed the boss, and now you want to kill Zi'an, you are simply ......" Xian Yufu closed his eyes tightly, didn't say a word, and let the two of them complain.
But scolding and scolding, now that everyone is here, they can't run away if they want to, so they can only resign themselves to fate.
"I'm dead, I must pull you as a cushion." Liu He punched Xian Yufu hard, and said angrily,
"Tell me, what are you going to do with this? What does the general have to say? ”
"The general is three thousand miles away in the desert, and he still knows nothing." Xian Yufu opened his eyes and spread his hands weakly,
"Even if the general knew about this, what good way could he come up with? The general himself did not want to govern, and the Son of Heaven was too young to let him govern, so let the eldest princess govern, and as a result, the eldest princess caused such a big mess in a fit of anger. What do you say now? If we don't clean up this mess, who will clean it up? ”
"How do you clean it up?" Liu He said angrily,
"Wang Rou bit it to death, saying that the Son of Heaven and Fu Wan and Dong Cheng conspired to kill the eldest princess and the general, how big a deal this is, do you know?" Liu He reached out and patted Xian Yufu's shoulder,
"Yu Xing, you heard clearly, it was the Son of Heaven who wanted to kill the eldest princess and the general, and it was the Son of Heaven. Do you want me to interrogate the Son of Heaven? Liu He shook his head and raised his hand in despair and shouted,
"Oh my God...... What should I do about this...... Yu Xing, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you......" Wei You sat in the corner with his head in his hands, as if he was about to lose his head, his face was gray and panicked.
"Listen to the eldest princess." Xian Yu stroked three locks of long beard with his auxiliary hand, and said slowly,
"The eldest princess is in charge today, of course we have to listen to the eldest princess."
"The eldest princess will marry sooner or later, and the Son of Heaven will take charge sooner or later." Liu He waved his hands and said bitterly,
"Once the world is calm and the Son of Heaven controls the overall situation, we will live to the end."
"That's why I'm going to invite you here." Xian Yufu patted his arm,
"You are a member of the royal family, and you have a deep relationship with the Son of Heaven and the eldest princess, and the contradictions between their sisters and brothers depend on you to resolve them."
"Rely on me to ......" Liu He pointed to his nose, stared at Xian Yufu with wide eyes, and said incredulously,
"Do you have a problem with your brain? Why should I let their siblings shake hands and make peace? ”
"When you served as an important minister of Jiuqing in the court, I was still fighting in Xiliang, how can I know about the affairs of the court?" Xian Yufu pushed it,
"Please, of course you have to figure it out."
"You ......" Liu He was so angry that he raised his hand with a punch,
"You're too ruthless. If you want to kill me, you will kill me, and I will kill you, bastard. Xian Yufu kicked the car door.
The guards were riding beside the carriage and galloping on horseback. Xian Yufu flew and jumped onto the guard's horse, turned around and beckoned to Liu He, who was gritting his teeth,
"Zi'an, I'll go first."
"Xian Yufu, you wait, I'm not done with you." Liu He met the eldest princess. Back then, when the first emperor asked Liu He to take the eldest princess to take refuge in the Hejian Kingdom, the eldest princess was only ten years old.
Liu He is the cousin of the eldest princess, and he takes good care of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess has only this one relative by her side, so the relationship between the two is deep.
When the eldest princess saw him, she was very aggrieved and cried for a long time. Liu He slapped his palm on the case, and was very angry,
"Your Royal Highness, who can match it today? His Majesty is so foolish, it's just to blame, let him think about it behind closed doors. Let him think about it, there is only one person who can marry His Highness today. He doesn't even know such a simple thing? The minister is blind when he sees him. The eldest princess nodded hatefully,
"He's just blind. The loyal ministers didn't listen to the words, but they listened to the words of those ** braids who brought disaster to the country, and they even wanted to kill each other. ”
"Yes, yes, if the first emperor knew...... Liu He couldn't bear the grief, and his eyes turned red in a blink of an eye,
"He'll be heartbroken......" The eldest princess's tears suddenly fell again. Liu He wiped his eyes with his sleeve, then pointed to the strings on the piano platform and said: "When His Royal Highness played the piano to relieve his sorrows, His Royal Highness's mother must have heard it, she, she ......" Liu He suddenly choked up, couldn't speak anymore, and cried bitterly at the desk,
"The First Emperor...... When you open your eyes, the misery of the world is nothing more than cannibalism......" The eldest princess was so sad that she couldn't help crying loudly.
Liu He took the edict of the eldest princess and walked into the imperial study unimpeded. The Son of Heaven was surprised and delighted. Back then, Liu He ran to Chang'an to ask for a holy decree to save him, and then suddenly he didn't say goodbye, he was always worried about Liu He's life and death, and asked many ministers in private, but no one knew whether Liu He was dead or alive.
"Aiqing is not dead?" Liu He touched his head and said with a smile: "The minister's life is big, and he didn't die." ”
"Aiqing came to save me?"
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and here is Jinyang, with the protection of the general, it is very safe, where do you need the ministers to help?" Liu He said with a smile,
"Isn't Your Majesty safe?"
"Aiqing, my sister is going to kill me, don't you know?"
"What are you kidding?" Liu He laughed,
"As soon as the minister arrived in Jinyang, he immediately came to see His Majesty, and the minister felt that Jinyang was very quiet."
"Really, my sister really wants to kill me." The Son of Heaven said in fear.
"Why?"
"I want to marry my sister to Wang Chen of the Jinyang royal family, but I unexpectedly angered my sister and caused a great disaster......" Then the Son of Heaven told what happened,
"How can I blame this? If I marry my sister to the general, won't I be at the mercy of the general in the future? My sister has changed, it's not the sister I used to be, she didn't know that she was used by the general. Without the general's support for her, she is just an eldest princess, but why should the general support her? It's not because the generals want to monopolize power. Idiots all know about this, but she doesn't know, but instead turns around and helps outsiders deal with me, killing each other. Liu He didn't say a word from beginning to end.
"Aiqing wants to save me." The Son of Heaven pleaded. And full of promises. The two of them talked for a while, and the Son of Heaven was probably too bored to stay in the imperial study alone, and he didn't let Liu He go.
"Aiqing will accompany me to play a game of chess." Liu He took the chess pieces in his hand, and his expression suddenly became excited,
"This is the ...... of the first emperor"
"yes." The Son of Heaven said very sadly,
"My father is gone, my mother is gone, only one sister still wants to kill me, what is the point of me living? What are you doing alive? Liu He's eyes were red, and tears rolled out,
"The first emperor is under Jiuquan, and he must know about the cannibalism between His Majesty and the eldest princess. Miserable, miserable ......" Liu He became more and more sad the more he spoke, and suddenly he grabbed a chess piece with one hand and fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
The Son of Heaven was already depressed, decadent, and desperate in his heart, and when he cried to Liu He like this, he couldn't hold back anymore, and suddenly burst into tears.
The Son of Heaven cried for a while, his resentment was vented, his mood gradually calmed down, and a trace of remorse quietly appeared.
Thinking of his days in Chang'an, thinking about his days in Jinyang in the past few months, there is indeed a world of difference.
Perhaps, I blamed my sister. Liu He was still howling with his head in his hands. The Son of Heaven stretched out his hand and patted it.
"Aiqing, Aiqing...... Arise, I have something to say to you. Liu He got up weakly.
"Aiqing, don't leave for the time being, stay in Jinyang." The Son of Heaven wiped the tears from his face and whispered,
"You go and tell my sister that I don't care about her. Whoever she wants to marry, when she wants to marry, as long as she asks, I will agree. "Liu He
"Hmm",
"Your Majesty, what about those relatives?"
"This matter is my idea, it has nothing to do with them, please let my sister let them go." Liu He shook his head a few times, and then suggested in a low voice: "Your Majesty, let's write a letter to the eldest princess." It's all a family, what's not to say? "The Son of Heaven hesitated for a long time,
"I'm kind, not my fault."
"The minister writes for His Majesty, Your Majesty only needs to stamp a seal, okay?" Liu He pleaded,
"Your Majesty, think of the first emperor, think of your poor mother, think of poor Empress Dowager Dong......"
"Okay." The Son of Heaven nodded reluctantly. Several elders were taken to Zhang Wen's cell.
Zhang Wen struggled to get up, but Cui Lie hurriedly held him up,
"You can lie down, I guess this is the last time we will be seen. If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it, and after that, we will eat and cut off ......"
"Can't you just say two nice words?" Yuan Peng scolded,
"If you don't die, you will be cursed." Liu He appeared in the prison of the Tingwei Mansion. Several of the elders looked at him in amazement.
Cui Lie clapped his hands violently,
"Okay, here's another one looking for death."
"Zi'an, what are you doing at this time? Death? Zhang Wen waved his hand and shouted. Liu He smiled slightly, bowed down and said, "I'm here to save a few elders out." ”
"Hmph......" Ding Gong smiled bitterly,
"Zi'an, I'm afraid that if we go out, you will have to stay."
"What are the elders talking about? It's like I wish I was dead. Liu He said with a smile,
"I've been here for three days, and there are some things I can't decide, so I have to discuss them with a few adults." Then he told the Son of Heaven that he had written an edict against himself, and that the eldest princess refused to release the two relatives and insisted on killing and plotting rebellion.
"It seems that this person can't be killed anymore."
"The Son of Heaven wrote an edict of sin?" Cui Lie looked at Liu He and asked strangely,
"Since the Son of Heaven has already written an edict and made it clear the ins and outs of the matter, why does the eldest princess still want to kill?" He pointed at Liu He and asked,
"You can't have forged that edict, right? Did you see it for the eldest princess? ”
"How dare I do that?" Liu He smiled bitterly,
"To be honest, I agree with the eldest princess. How much has happened in Chang'an in recent years? Why was Dong Zhuo killed? Why did Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou kill each other? It's very simple, it's all the result of the efforts of those ministers in Chang'an. Liu He looked at Yang Biao and said with a suspicious expression,
"Minister Chang'an is used to doing this kind of thing, if you bow your head, you will have an idea, and if you look up, it will be a plan, and three or five people can knock down a large area. Think about it, Dong Zhuo was so powerful at the beginning, they dared to kill when they were unarmed, why didn't they dare to kill the eldest princess now, and they didn't dare to kill the general? As long as someone stands in their way and threatens their life and death, they dare to kill and kill whoever they catch. ”
"Liu He, don't spew blood." Yang Biao trembled with anger and shouted angrily.
"Lord Yang, the reason why Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou killed each other is because of your discordant plan, do you dare to admit it?" Liu He's face turned cold,
"Now several of Li Wei, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou's subordinates are in this prison, do you dare to say that you don't know them? Nothing to do with them? ”
"You ......" Yang Biao's eyes flashed with a hint of fear, and he didn't dare to speak anymore, the more he talked, the more trouble he had.
"Zi'an, what do you mean by coming today?" Zhang Wen motioned to Cai Yong and Chen Ji to pull Yang Biao aside, and then beckoned to Liu He.
"Among the former ministers of Chang'an, whether other people have such rebellious intentions, I dare not guarantee the levy, but Lord Yang, I can guarantee it."
"Of course I believe in Lord Yang." Liu He said,
"Those who are old ministers of Chang'an can stay, and those who can't stay, please give me a list of Lord Yang."
"I don't write." Yang Biao said angrily,
"You just killed me, and I won't write it." Liu He looked at him and shook his head,
"Whatever you want. If you don't write it, I'll see that name doesn't like it, and I'll kill that one. Several ministers bowed their heads and remained silent.
Things have come to this point, what else is there to choose. Fortunately, it was Liu He who presided over the trial of the Jinyang rebellion case this time, and if it had been someone else, it would have been served a long time ago.
"Due to special reasons, the officials of Northern Xinjiang have very few people implicated, so it is easier to deal with them." Liu He continued,
"It's hard for us to believe the old ministers of Chang'an, so whether they are innocent or not, we must kill those who can be killed. The most difficult thing to do is the two relatives. Liu He looked at several old ministers and said,
"I implore a few elders to give a word, whether to kill the Fu family or the Dong family. Because of this killing, it must be killed to the end. Whether it is a queen or a nobleman, they must be killed. Keep one family, stay one family, and we will have a way to live in the future, otherwise, we will die. "Jump to
