Section 258 Reaction of the Parties
Liu Che asked Sima Xiangru to write a poem that had just been dispersed.
That night, at about a quarter of the hour (nine o'clock), Liu Che was resting in the bedroom of the imperial palace.
Suddenly, I heard the exclamation of the king outside.
He hurriedly put on his clothes and went out.
"What's the matter, all the fuss?" Liu Che asked.
"Your Highness, look!" Wang Dao pointed to the starry sky with a frightened face.
Liu Che looked up and saw that above the starry sky in the northeast, a large celestial body with a long tail had pierced the entire northeast starry sky.
Whether it was the most famous Halley's Comet returned, Liu Che did not know.
But it is certain that this comet, which is idle and has nothing to do with its return on time, will have a drastic impact on the whole world.
Both the East and the West comets were a lingering nightmare, a symbol of calamity, and a messenger of war in ancient times.
Every comet return scares people.
In China, the China issue is even more severe.
Because, the supreme ruler of China, who calls himself the Son of Heaven, shepherds and hunts on behalf of the heavens, rules all directions in Kyushu.
And every time the comet returns, it touches the fragile heart of the ruler.
Liu Che covered his face.
It's really a blessing and a curse, not alone!
As soon as the hail rain in Hengshan Kingdom came, this one appeared in a hurry.
"Prepare the car!" Liu Che instructed: "Lone must enter the palace immediately to face the saint!" ”
…………………………………………
At this moment, in the Weiyang Palace, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, looked up at the ominous star in the starry sky with a long tail that cut through the sky from east to north.
"The wind is up," Liu Qi, the son ......of heaven, muttered to himself.
Comet. It heralds war, bloodshed, and famine.
"Immediately summon Tai Shi Ling, Yu Shi Dafu, Shangshu Yamen's big and small adjutants, as well as lieutenants, Gong Gaohou, Qu Zhouhou, and generals Luan Bu, Taifu, Taichang, and Zongzheng into the palace!" The Son of Heaven commanded.
"No!" The eunuch beside him nodded hurriedly.
Since it appeared once during the time of Emperor Xiaohui, this is the second time that the Han family has faced the attack of a comet.
You can't pay attention to it!
…………………………
At the same time, Chao is wrong in his own home. Look up at the comet in the sky.
His hands trembled.
There is a faint uneasy feeling in my heart, which is brewing, rolling, boiling, and fermenting.
For the first time in his life, Chao Cuo felt scared.
The celestial phenomenon, an enemy that had never been expected before the mistake, suddenly appeared. Gave him the fatal blow.
Chao Cuo was really afraid at the moment, afraid that the Son of Heaven would succumb to the celestial phenomena, so he abandoned his strategy of cutting the domain.
"No, I can't. I must speed up the reduction of the feudal domain, and if necessary, use some thunderous means, and I will not hesitate to do so. Don't let the Son of Heaven waver! Chao thought to himself.
He knows the day too well.
Today's son seems to have a decisive personality. Dare to do anything.
But......
He is suspicious and sensitive by nature.
If the Son of Heaven is shaken, then he will not only be unable to talk about the great plan to cut the domain, but he will also be ruined and besieged to death!
Therefore, if you want the Son of Heaven to be unshaken, there is only one way...... That is, he had to and had to support his strategy of cutting the domain. So that he has no way back.
To do this, it is necessary to force a vassal state of sufficient weight.
Today. Except for Wu Chu, the Son of Heaven who could not be forced by that vassal state could only support his strategy of cutting the feudal domain to the end.
But......
Chao Cuo had hesitation in his heart.
Because, although the Son of Heaven has no way out, it is also extremely dangerous.
If you are not careful, you will lose your life!
Chao Cuo still can't make up his mind!
………………………………
Hengshan is the capital of six cities.
Liu Bo, the king of Hengshan, raised his head to look up at the ominous star that appeared in the starry sky, and the whole person suddenly knelt down, tears flowing down his cheeks.
"O Tai Yishen, are you trying to punish the sinners? First the hailstorm and then the comet, the guilty minister ...... "Liu Bo is about Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and he is very handsome, not much like his father and brother.
Unlike most Han clans, Liu Bo was a rare prince who loved the people.
After being named the queen of Hengshan, he has always adhered to the policy formulated by Emperor Liu Bang, how much money the palace spends every year, he will levy how much money he collects, and half of the land tax revenue is used to release the money, and half is used to build water conservancy.
In addition, Liu Bo was the only prince who insisted on delivering money to Chang'an every year, although he was returned by Chang'an every time.
It can be seen that Liu Bo is also a young man.
At this moment, this Wen Qing was really frightened by the comet in the sky.
He thought that this comet had come to warn and punish him from God.
So, Liu Bo immediately ordered, saying: "Pass the order, the widow will fast and bathe from today, sincerely confess like a god in Tai, and let the prime minister temporarily handle the state affairs on behalf of the widow!" ”
…………
Unlike Liu Bo, Pengcheng, thousands of miles away, the palace of the king of Chu, and Liu Wu, the king of Chu, looked at the comet in the starry sky.
The little Jiujiu in my heart began to rise again.
This is a comet, which means that the Son of Heaven of Chang'an is not favored by the heavens at all!
However, the matter of the Han Dynasty made Liu Wu hesitate again.
Liu Wu is a person, although he is not very successful.
But his father, King Chu Yi and grandfather King Chu Yuan, have left a very strong color of etiquette in his mind for many years of deep-rooted teaching.
For God, Liu Wu is one of the most feared people in the Han family.
"Why don't you go and find out King Wu's tone first?" Liu Wu thought to himself.
But then he shook his head again: "No...... No way...... Even if the widow joins forces with King Wu, he can't beat the Son of Chang'an! Unless Qi Zhao is willing to join! ”
His three counties of Chu plus Liu Bi's three counties of Wu are only six counties in total, and there are many generals and officials in the country who are interested in Chang'an, especially in the state of Chu, there are countless generals and officials who are loyal to the monarch and patriotic thoughts.
Even his crown prince often advised him to be loyal to Chang'an and not to have two hearts.
My son is like this, and I can imagine seeing other people.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Wu has always wavered between rebellion and non-rebellion.
After Han Ding appeared, Liu Wu immediately straightened his attitude and cleared up the relationship with Liu Bi.
"That's it, that's it...... If Chao mistakes don't cut the widow, the widow won't mess with King Wu......" Liu Bi thought to himself.
Actually, he thinks that there is nothing wrong with being the king of Chu, in this Pengcheng, playing beauties, fighting cocks and lackeys, and jujuing every day, isn't it more interesting than going to fight with the emperor of Chang'an?
What's more, helping King Wu, he may not be able to reap any benefits......
Therefore, Liu Wu felt that as long as the Son of Heaven in Chang'an did not move him, he would definitely not make trouble!
………………………………
In Guangling City, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, looked at the comet, but he danced happily.
With the appearance of this comet, it is undoubtedly a strong stimulant for his plans and goals, and then, he just waits for Chang'an to make a mistake and give him a chance.
"However, the widow still has to step up his efforts to win over the princes of Chu and Qi Zhao, as well as the kings of Hengshan and Lujiang Liang, hum! Liu Qi killed Liu An, the widow didn't believe it, and Hengshan and Lujiang would be indifferent! ”
As long as the State of Chu is wooed, plus the King of Hengshan and the King of Lujiang, then his Wu ** team can send troops with confidence, and work together with Lujiang and Hengshan to sweep away the nail of several Han counties and Changsha between Jianghuai and Wu Chu, and then they can wreak havoc on Qi Zhao......
No way...... No way......
Qi Zhao doesn't care about it first, he drives straight in, and it is the key to take Chang'an directly!
He is already old and has few years to live, and he knows very well that once he dies, his son may not be able to suppress the situation.
Therefore, you must fulfill your wish while you can still move! (To be continued......)
