Chapter 769 The curtain call of the faint king
Qi capital Linzi City.
Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, looked blankly at an urgent report in front of him.
"Woe to you!" Liu Jianglu sighed and threw the report into the fire.
At this time, his heart was extremely happy.
Fortunately, he has many concubines, and these concubines have given birth to sons for him.
Because of this, back then, after he returned to Qi from Chang'an, these concubines and heirs scrambled to plan what would happen after his death.
At that time, Liu Jianglu was annoyed by them, so he simply hid in the deep palace.
However, it was precisely because of this that he did not meet with Liu Bi's envoy at that time, let alone fall into any position.
When the court came to investigate, they couldn't find anything at all.
"But ......" Liu Jianglu thought for a while: "What is the trouble of wanting to add crimes?" ”
"The widow must find a guarantee!"
So what can be guaranteed now, even if the envoy sent by the imperial court refers to the deer as a horse and frames him, he can escape this catastrophe unharmed?
"Someone!" Liu Jianglu stood up and said: "Prepare carriages and horses for the widow, the widow wants to pay homage to the tomb of the first king!" ”
Liu Jianglu was the eighth son of Liu Fei, and his nephew King Wen died childless, so Emperor Taizong continued the Qi State in the name of Prince Mourning Hui.
Liu Jianglu is very smart.
He knew that as long as he hid in his father's mausoleum temple, the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, could he still send someone to mourn King Hui's temple to arrest him?
But, if the Son of Heaven of Chang'an still wants to have face, he will never dare to do such a thing.
However, this alone is still not very safe.
"Fortunately, the widow is still a little thin in front ......of the present," Liu Jianglu thought about the events of the year happily. Today can be regarded as stepping on his shoulders and ascending to the throne.
Although this is a humiliating thing - the uncle was slapped in the face by his nephew, and his face must be disgraceful.
But if this nephew is the emperor, it is an honor!
You can write 'Fang Jin is very lucky!' Your Majesty will not abandon ......'
Therefore, after Liu Che ascended the throne, Liu Jianglu will take the events of the year. Add oil and vinegar to the outside.
Use yourself to set off today's great light.
It was a smart decision!
Therefore, Liu Jianglu was allowed to play directly in front of the emperor.
This power may not have been good before.
But now, it's a life-saving channel!
He immediately sat down and began to write.
After writing it, he immediately asked people to send it to Chang'an.
Then he looked at his mourning tomb and sighed in his heart.
Back then, in order to survive, his father desperately knelt down and licked Empress Lu, and even gave a county to his sister Princess Lu Yuan, in order to curry favor with Empress Lu. Sure enough, he was not punished, and he was able to die a righteous death.
Now, he has no choice but to learn from his father's good example.
Liu Jianglu knew that he loved the lord of Wanyi the most, so he gritted his teeth and sent the three counties to the lord of Wanyi as a soup bath.
It doesn't matter what others think. How to evaluate.
At least, the present is remembered in the past and in the present deference. I shouldn't risk the world to move him.
As for the other brothers?
When disaster comes, husband and wife still have to find their own way to survive.
What's more, these brothers, like him, are actually just the same father.
In large families, brothers of the same father and mother. There are no feelings at all.
So, ask for more blessings!
………………………………
When the news of Chang'an reached the ears of the other kings, it was already the third day after Liu Jianglu went to mourn Huiling.
The kings were immediately in chaos!
"Lao Jiu, this bastard!" In the palace of Jimo Wang, Liu Xiongqu, the king of Jiaodong, smashed a cup to smash. In the direction of Jinan, it was a scolding.
Liu Xiongqu is Liu Fei's youngest son, the youngest in the grade, and has suffered the most.
Fortunately, at that time, there was a deceased of his mother who served as an attendant to Taizong in Chang'an, and said good things to him when Taizong asked about mourning the princes, so he was able to be named the king of Jiaodong and enjoy happiness in this Jimo City.
At the beginning, when Liu Bi sent an envoy to contact him, he also wavered for a long time, and finally chose to wait and see.
As a result, the general was watched.
So, I had to dismiss my thoughts.
"Fortunately, the widow has always had a good reputation, and he has an old ...... with the present," Liu Xiongqu thought after stroking his heart and calming down.
Then he commanded: "Go and call the prince!" ”
His crown prince had a few meetings with the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, and the relationship was very good back then.
After ascending the throne, he even repeatedly sent envoys to Jimo to give special rewards.
"Fortunately, the widow came from his heart and gave the prince a good name!" Liu Xiongqu couldn't help but sigh at the moment for his wit back then.
His crown prince also happens to be a virtuous name, which is the same as the name before the establishment of the prince today.
With this relationship, his crown prince, every time he goes to Chang'an, he can get special care from Jinshang, and even give him face-to-face teaching.
And the prince also knew how to repay the favor and helped Jinshang do many things.
For example, shipbuilding, training shipwrights, opening shipyards, etc.
In the past, Liu Xiongqu also blamed his son for taking money as a sand sprinkler.
Now it seems that the money is worth it!
At least, at this juncture, you can buy yourself and your wife's lives!
………………………………
In the Gaomi City of Jiaoxi Kingdom, Liu Wei, the king of Jiaoxi, looked at the urgent report in front of him, and the whole person was stunned all of a sudden.
"Disaster fell from the sky...... Liu Wei cried and sat in his position, and the whole person suddenly became more than ten years old.
He knew very well that once Chang'an investigated Wu Wei's matter, he would definitely bear the brunt!
Back then, he was the happiest and the highest among the kings of Qilu.
After settling accounts after this autumn, how can he be missing?
"Maybe it's time for the widow to think about how to step down decently......" Liu Wei thought to himself.
But, after thinking about it, he was a little reluctant.
After all, what did Chang'an think, at this moment, he hadn't figured it out, what if people just wanted to scare and scare?
Wouldn't it be stupid if you knelt like that?
"But......" Liu Wei looked in the direction of Jinan. muttered: "Ninth brother, I can only trouble you......"
Now, Liu Wei knows that Liu Piguang should immediately 'commit suicide' to thank the world.
Liu Biguang, if you still want to hold on.
Not only is he going to kill his whole family, but his brothers are also being 'innocently implicated'.
Right!
Liu Wei at the moment. That's what I thought in my heart.
He genuinely felt innocent.
It's all to blame for Liu Piguang's brain-deadness, he has nothing to do!
Who doesn't know that since Taizong, the imperial court has inevitably pursued the nobles and princes who brutalized the people?
It's not just Liu Wei who thinks so.
Liu Xian, the king of Zichuan, and Liu Zhi, the king of Jibei, also thought so.
So, almost at the same time, these three princes and brothers wrote a letter at the same time. Someone was sent to Jinan.
…………………………………………
"Brother Wang Mingjian, at this extraordinary time, Brother Wang should plan for the descendants of the society and take responsibility for it......"
"Uncle Wang is above, please forgive the boy for his courage: Uncle Wang is not dead today, the world is not at peace, please Uncle Wang to mourn the reputation of the former king......"
"Brother Jinan, please remember the brotherhood of our brothers. Leave a way for us to live......"
In the Jinan Palace, Liu Biguang looked at the letters from his brothers and nephews in front of him.
He picked it up tremblingly. Shook his head with a wry smile.
He stood up slightly, and saw the two officials on his left and right, and immediately stepped forward and bowed: "The king wears a sinful body, please sit on it, and wait for the edict of the Son of Heaven!" ”
In the corridor outside the temple. It is even more faint, with the footsteps of armored generals.
Liu Biguang looked at the two officials, and then looked at his current situation.
He lowered his head and looked at the letters.
"Suicide apologies?" Liu Biguang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
If he could, he would have killed himself!
Where do you need to be reminded?
But here's the thing. When the Zhangqiu Rebellion occurred, he had lost control of his kingdom officials and army, and even the eunuchs were no longer loyal to him.
These people, under the leadership of the prime minister and the internal history, had him under house arrest in this palace without much effort.
Eat, drink, and Lazar every day, and have a special person to serve them.
For twelve hours a day, there are four officials, who follow closely every inch.
This is true even when you go to the toilet and change your clothes.
If it weren't for this, Liu Biguang would have chosen to commit suicide a long time ago!
For a prince and king, the most terrible thing is not death at all!
What's the point of dying?
Life is worse than death, it is the greatest tragedy!
is like this to Liu Piguang now, where is he still a prince and king, the Liu clan?
It is clear that he is a prisoner, a criminal awaiting trial, a lowliest and most despicable slave, all freer than him!
"Where's Captain Ting?" Liu Biguang sat down and asked with anticipation.
He had never looked forward to the arrival of the Imperial Lieutenant who represented punishment as he had ever looked forward to.
Because, only Tingwei can relieve his pain.
Give him a happy, dignified death!
"Return to the King!" An official said respectfully: "Tingwei has arrived in Xingyang!" ”
"Oh......" Liu Biguang nodded: "As soon as Ting Wei arrives, please inform the widow ......"
At this moment, Liu Piguang already knows what he is called today.
'The bamboo of the South Mountain, its sins are difficult to write, and the water of the East China Sea is poured down, and its evil is difficult to wash......
"Is it really that hateful to be a widow?" Liu Piguang asked himself.
Then he nodded feebly.
He looked back on his life, and before he was canonized king, he didn't seem to be a good thing.
To sleep with the prettiest women, ride the best horses, and eat the best.
became the queen of Jinan, and she became more and more extravagant day by day.
In the palace, everything must be comparable to the King of Qi in Linzi.
But the king of Qi sits on three counties, and there is a large capital of Tongyi like Linzi, and the tax is thousands of gold at the age of one.
In order to be richer than the king of Qi, he could only choose to exploit his feudal people.
The things I've done over the years.
It is indeed the talent of the genus of the Emperor.
"The widow is guilty and deserves death!" Liu Piguang let out a long sigh, and then, he lowered his head and looked at the letters of the King of Jiaoxi, the King of Zichuan and the King of Jibei.
If the widow is guilty, will you be innocent?
Hum!
No one is cleaner than anyone else!
Let's die together!
Without these letters, Liu Piguang would probably have read a little brotherhood.
But since the brothers don't see him as a brother. Ba looked at him and hurried to die.
So what else is there to say!
Let's hit the road together!
"Pen and ink waiting!" Liu Biguang said to the left and right: "The widow wants to write a confession to His Majesty, and he has to report and expose it!" ”
"King Gaoyi!" An official bowed expressionlessly: "Congratulations to the king's wisdom!" ”
Up and down in Jinan, I've long had enough of Liu Piguang!
If it weren't for the difference between monarchs and ministers, the officials in this palace would really want to tear him apart - even those bureaucrats who made a fortune with Liu Piguang in the past thought so.
Now. Liu Biguang is willing to admit his guilt, and many people have relaxed a little, after all, what everyone is most afraid of is that Liu Biguang will not admit his guilt if he dies.
That's miserable!
A prince and king who does not admit his guilt will inevitably go to Chang'an in the end, go to the Xuanshu Palace, and confront the ministers.
And things got to that point, then. The so-called unspoken rule of 'not dishonoring each other' is naturally useless.
Once Liu Piguang is punished by the Ming Dynasty, then as his courtiers, everyone will naturally have no good fruit to eat.
And if he confesses, at least, everyone will not be affected by him.
Some people are even looking forward to Liu Biguang taking the initiative to take all the blame.
But......
Liu Biguang looked at these officials in the hall.
Among these people. Of course, there are direct ministers who have strongly advised him in the past.
But there are also traitors who follow him and even instigate him.
Now. Liu Piguang is in prison, so naturally he will not let these people have a good time.
"You used to eat and drink spicy food with the widow, and now the widow is about to die, wait, do you want to continue to be free?" Liu Biguang snorted coldly at the corner of his mouth: "What about dreaming? ”
It turns out that every tyrant's brain is very good.
…………………………………………
Two days later. When Zhao Yu, the court captain, took the Son of Heaven Festival and held the edict, and walked into the palace of the king of Jinan.
Liu Pi was shirtless, tying his hands with ropes. Surrounded by the ministers, he walked in front of Zhao Yu, knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "The sinner minister King of Jinan has seen the angel ......."
Zhao Yu glanced down at Liu Biguang.
Then, he took out the edict from his bosom and said: "The edict of the Son of Heaven is ordered, and Jinan will receive the edict!" ”
Zhao Yu read the edict of the Son of Heaven, and then asked, "Can the King of Jinan be guilty?" ”
"The guilty minister is guilty and willing to accept the law of the country!" Liu Piguang bowed again: "It's just that the wife of the guilty minister is innocent, please ask Your Majesty to be kind and pardon!" ”
"I haven't heard that ......the father is guilty and the son is innocent," Zhao Yu said coldly: "Wang Qi is trying to do it!" ”
Liu Biguang kowtowed again, bumping his forehead, and blood flowed.
"Please ask the angel to see that the minister is guilty, and the prince will not be spared, but the young son of the minister is really innocent!"
"Moreover, the minister has a recital, please ask the angel to convey it to Your Majesty, and the minister will report and expose in the book, and the sins of Qilu may make Your Majesty rest the wrath of the thunder for a while......"
So, Liu Piguang held a silk book, presented it in his hand, kowtowed again, and respectfully served it in front of Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu took the silk book, flipped through it and looked at it, and couldn't help sighing: "The king's repentance, how late!" If the great mistake had not been made, the king could have thought so, why now? ”
Liu Piguang bowed again: "In the old years, the sinner did all kinds of evil, he was guilty of the sky, and he died innocently!" ”
Zhao Yu nodded, then waved his hand, and immediately someone stepped forward with a glass of white wine and said, "Please drink this cup of the king!" ”
"The king, please rest assured to go......" Zhao Yu looked at Liu Piguang and said: "Your Majesty has pardoned all the sons except the crown prince, and they are only imprisoned!" ”
When Liu Biguang heard this, he suddenly burst into tears, and sighed: "The Son of Heaven is holy, and the guilty minister is inscribed with five feelings, and I wish to be a cow and horse in front of His Majesty in the next life to atone for today's sins!" ”
Then he took the wine and drank it down.
The sun shone in from a corner of the palace and fell on this opulent and splendid palace.
It's just that its owner is already lying on the ground, and only the strength of convulsions remains.
"The widow is guilty of death, and he has no shame to see Taizong, the first emperor, and the first king of mourning Hui under Jiuquan, and he should cover his face with hair, and use bamboo silk to record his crimes, so as to warn the world!" He struggled to say to his weeping wife and children.
Then he closed his eyes.
A generation of tyrants, Liu Piguang, the king of Jinan, died.
Zhao Yu looked at Liu Piguang's corpse, as well as his crying concubines and heirs.
"He was once the Son of Heaven, and his death was not as good as ...... husband," Zhao Yu shook his head.
Even if he doesn't like Liu Piguang very much, such a scene is indeed too sad.
Especially for officials, scholars, doctors and aristocrats.
"The officials of Jinan obey the order!" Zhao Yu turned to the Jinan bureaucrats in front of him and said: "Your Majesty has an edict: Jinan has no way, it should be abolished as a county, and the officials in the county should be safe in their duties, so as to wait for the county guard to take office!" ”
Then he waved his hand, and immediately hundreds of sergeants, armed with weapons, stepped forward and took care of all these bureaucrats.
Jinan's problem is not only the sin of Liu Piguang alone?
Zhao Yu didn't believe it.
There are definitely problems in this country!
Otherwise, why are there only 300 households in the five counties of Jinan that are land? (To be continued.) )
PS: Sorry, it's late!
It's Kaven today!
However, today's 12000 promise will definitely be fulfilled, please rest assured! I'll get it done if I stay up late!
