Section 155 Bribery
It's the beginning of June.
The atmosphere in Handan City began to become eerie.
In the palace of King Zhao, it is even more tense and heavily guarded.
Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, born tall and strong, among the princes, he has always been known for his bravery, and he himself thinks that if he lives in the time when Chu and Han are fighting for hegemony, he may not be able to compare with Xiang Yu.
"The Son of Heaven in Chang'an sent a relative to Xiao'er, who wants to come to Xingyang and take away my military power!" Liu Sui walked on the main hall of the palace, and said with resentment: "Is it tolerable or unbearable!" ”
His face was gloomy and terrible at the moment, and the eunuchs who served him were all trembling, for fear of angering the king.
Liu Sui is not a good-tempered person, because he witnessed the tragic incident of his father Liu You who went to Chang'an and never came back in his childhood, so his character is cruel, and he kills slaves with a rod at every turn, and even his concubines are often beaten by him with a blue nose and swollen face.
"Go and invite the envoy of King Wu to the widow!" Liu Sui thought for a while and ordered.
The Son of Heaven of Chang'an wanted to take away his military power, which made him extremely afraid.
This reminded Liu Sui of his father, back then, his father Liu You was drained of his military power by the prime minister general who was stationed in Xingyang at that time, and then was recruited into Chang'an by Empress Lu, and never came back!
Not only that, but he and his younger brother Liu Biqi couldn't even keep the kingdom, and Zhao changed his surname to Lu.
This is the nightmare in his heart!
Now, in his opinion, the actions of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an are trying to repeat the old tricks, how can he sit back and wait for death?
Since you are unkind. Then don't blame me for being unjust!
The state of Zhao is not comparable to the state of Qi.
Because of the tragic death of his father at the beginning, he won great sympathy among the people of Zhao after he ascended the throne. Therefore, his popularity is quite high, and he himself knows the soldiers and is good at fighting, so nine out of ten captains of the county soldiers of Zhao State were promoted by him, and he has great control over the army. Basically, there can be an order, and the whole country can change its banner.
It's a big deal, the fish is dead and the net is broken!
The state of Zhao is adjacent to the Great Wall. It's not that I haven't dealt with the Huns, it's really not good, just borrow the Huns to enter the customs!
At this time, a eunuch came in from outside, knelt down and reported: "Great king." Xiangguo Jiande and the king of internal history are cautious to see! ”
"What are these two coming to me for?" Liu Sui muttered to himself with a gloomy face. Then he waved his hand and scolded: "If you don't see it, you will say that the widow is sick and can't look at the government!" If there is something, the prime minister's internal history, you can make your own opinions! ”
Prime Minister Zhao Jiande and Neishi Wang Shen, these are all pawns that the first emperor placed in his Zhao State to monitor him, how could he not know?
If you really contact Wu and the Xiongnu, you will decide to raise troops. The first thing Liu Sui wanted to kill was these two Han courtiers, in order to vent the hatred in his heart that had been suppressed and persecuted by them over the years.
"The king is sick. The ministers are even more likely to come to see you! Two officials in Xuanyi broke through the barrier of the guards, walked in, and bowed to Liu Sui: "Chen Jiande! Be careful! Meet my king! ”
Now that he hasn't torn his face, no matter how reluctant Liu Sui is, he can only wave his hand and say: "The prime minister and Neishi are so anxious to see the widow, is there a big deal?" ”
"Exactly!" The leading official stood up and said, "King, the angel is here, please bathe and change your clothes, and receive the edict!" ”
Liu Sui's face twitched, he looked outside, only to see the shadow of the halberd outside, as if there were hundreds of people walking around, he couldn't help but be shocked, and bowed his head helplessly: "The angel is here, why hasn't the widow received the news?" That's it, that's it, the widow is going to bathe and change clothes! ”
Then, Liu Sui went straight into the apse, as soon as he entered the hall, he immediately took out a tiger talisman, handed it to one of his most trusted eunuchs, and instructed: "You immediately take the widow tiger talisman from the secret way out of the palace, so that the Handan guard and lieutenant immediately reorganize the soldiers and horses, half an hour later, send someone into the palace to visit the widow, if the widow does not come forward, immediately raise the army to make noise!" ”
"No!" The eunuch nodded, and hurried away with the tiger talisman.
Then, Liu Sui changed his clothes in a fake way, and after delaying for a while, he reluctantly walked to the main hall under the urging of Prime Minister Zhao Jiande and said, "Where are the angels?" ”
Zhao Jiande clapped his hands, and a chamberlain holding the Son of Heaven Festival and several eunuchs walked in, and the chamberlain glanced at Liu Sui and asked, "But King Zhao is in person?" ”
"It's the widow!"
"King Zhao takes the edict!" The chamberlain nodded, respectfully took the silk book from the hand of a eunuch holding a silk book behind him, held it in his hand, and opened it.
Liu Sui knelt down helplessly, and said: "Minister Liu Sui respectfully listens to the teachings of the Son of Heaven!" ”
"The emperor's edict said: Emperor Gao, the grandfather of the emperor, rebelled against the Qin and the world, fought against the feathers, and leveled the pseudo-chaos, and was dying all over the world. The princes of the White Horse Alliance: "If it is not the Liu family, the king, the world will attack it!" "Lu Lu and Lu are born, relying on their noble relatives, stealing heavy soldiers, and seeking to endanger the sect. King You died of grief, my emperor's father Taizong Xiaowen Emperor was therefore Min Zhi, Lier Liu Sui was the king of Zhao, survival and death were intermittent, the ancient son of heaven was also virtuous, I was not virtuous, and also remembered the injury of the king of You, his order, sealed 2,000 households of Zhao State, and gave Zhao State a concession to push grace, all the heirs of Er were reported to Zongzheng, he was the king of the day, and opened the country in the temple, wouldn't it be happy? Shuyun: Yu Mao Naide, Jia Nai Pi Ji. I'm the only one! Chinz! June of the year of propylene! ”
"Your Majesty, please obey the edict!" After the chamberlain finished reading the edict, Zhao Xiang Zhao Jiande and Wang Shen immediately knelt down and said.
At this moment, Liu Sui set off a monstrous wave in his heart.
Seal 2,000 households, concession tuien?
Of course, he knew that this was the plan of the Son of Heaven of Chang'an.
But......
There was an unknown gleam in his eyes.
He has angels here, presumably Qi, Jiaoxi, Chengyang, Jiaodong, Linzi and other countries should also have angels to summon them to cooperate with the general's move to take power.
He asked himself that he could still control his son and relatives, but the rice buckets of the princes of Zhuqi must be elated at the moment, and they no longer have the heart to rebel.
Zhu Qi doesn't cooperate, he wants to jump in Zhao Guo, where can he jump to?
To put it mildly, if he jumps, when the Xingyang soldiers come from the east, the Great Wall Iron Cavalry is condescending, coming from the south, he Zhao State will not last half a month and will be crushed into scum, he Liu Sui is not a fool, naturally he will not do such a thing to take death.
The most important thing is that with this edict, he no longer even has the name of rebellion.
In the past, he could still say that the Son of Heaven of Chang'an deceived people too much and humiliated him, but now the Son of Heaven of Chang'an has added 2,000 households and granted concessions, and he wants to rebel, and the soldiers will not agree!
So, he could only kneel and cry: "Minister Liu Sui is grateful, I will be loyal to the emperor's edict, and I will be loyal to the Han wings!" ”
Zhao Jiande, the prime minister of Zhao State, and Wang Shen, the internal historian, glanced at each other, and a big stone fell to the ground in their hearts, since King Zhao was edicted, it was equivalent to having no excuse and name for rebellion, without this excuse and name, even if he still wanted to rebel, the soldiers of Zhao State would not follow!
It's just that they can't relax, they must wait until the general arrives in Xingyang, they can really feel at ease, when the general sits in Xingyang, and takes charge of the major affairs of Qi Zhao's military state, with only a silk book, all the officers above the county soldiers of Qi Zhao can be transferred to Xingyang to obey orders, and draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, at that time, they can really sleep peacefully!
At the same time, the same scene was staged in the capital of Qi kingdoms such as Linzi, Jiaoxi Gaomi, Jiaodong Jimo, etc., and Liu Sui was different from Liu Sui, as soon as these princes and kings saw the benefits, they immediately forgot their previous resentment, oh, they didn't even have resentment, it was just some complaints.
At this time, when he saw the benefits, whether it was Liu Wei, the king of Jiaoxi who had been cut off six counties before, or Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, he immediately extinguished the little abacus in his heart and took the benefits in his hands first.
And the royal families of various countries immediately fell into the struggle for power and profit, and the disputes for favor, the princes and concubines began to think about their future paths, and they had the conditions to think about the addiction of the king and the queen mother, and they also focused on the title of Marquis of Che.
At this time, the envoys of King Wu, who were still stumbling around to contact and connect with each other, were immediately snubbed by the princes of Zhuqi.
Liu Wei, the king of Jiaoxi, even directly told the envoy of King Wu: "Inherit the first emperor, and be happy!" ”
He even wants to be a loyal minister!
That's not bad!
Liu Xi, the king of Chengyang, didn't plan to fight with Chang'an, but at this time he got the benefits, and he was sealed, and immediately impatiently drove Wu Envoy out of the palace, if he didn't still want to leave some incense, Liu Xi planned to tie up Wu Envoy and send it to the imperial court!
Only Liu Sui secretly kept an extra eye, and still entertained Wu Envoy with good wine and meat, but never mentioned the rebellion again.
After another two days, the news of the locust plague in Hedong reached the land of Qi Zhao.
Liu Sui scolded: "I see, it's ......" is gone, as for the princes of Zhuqi, they were so anxious by their sons and concubines at this time that they didn't have the heart to care about what happened in Hedong! (To be continued......)
PS: Well, I wrote the fine print for an afternoon today because I messed up the whole history...... Readers who often read history know that this kind of plot with completely different history is the most difficult to write, and it is really difficult to write reasonably and good-looking!
But if I want to follow the original history, pretend that I don't know that there can be such a choice, then it's easy to write, but it's not interesting, the traverser doesn't change history, and the traverser doesn't know how to choose a more advantageous way to be reborn, then it can only mean that it's a pig!
And copying history books doesn't make much sense~!
I hope to write something new~
After finishing this chapter, I will turn back to the protagonist~
