Section 303 True and False King of Chu (1)

Liu Che hurriedly came to Weiyang Palace.

At this time, the entire palace was under martial law, and the southern army that was originally on duty in Weiyang Palace had disappeared.

The new guards are almost all Zhou Yafu's descendants, the elite of the Xiliu Battalion back then.

Therefore, Liu Che entered the palace this time, and he was only allowed to go after a strict examination and inspection, and after confirming that it was correct.

As soon as he entered Sima Gate, after getting out of the car, Lang Zhong ordered Zhou Ren to wait for Liu Che in front of Sima Gate.

"Zhou Langzhong, what is the situation?" After Liu Che met, he didn't care about etiquette and asked. He really needed to know what was going on now.

Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Che asked continuously: "Has the news been disclosed?" How many people know about this now? ”

There is no doubt that these questions are quite critical!

If the news of the death of the king of Chu is still accused of being within a relatively small range, then there is still room for manipulation.

Historically, secrecy and mystery have been tricks used by the ruling class in the face of such emergencies.

Back then, Zhao Gaoli Si concealed the death of Qin Shi Huang and kept it secret, which is the most classic case of this kind.

"Back home, it's a dead man!" Zhou Yuan led Liu Che towards the palace, and as he walked, he introduced the situation: "That dead soldier is the king of Chu's cronies, confidants, and personal guards for many years, and suddenly burst out in the palace, and inserted a poisonous needle infected with poison directly into the neck of the king of Chu, killing him immediately!" ”

"After the incident, the Southern Army Sima on duty. It has already been ordered to block the news, lock the palace gate, and the people outside. I don't know! Zhou Ren said: "It's just ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it for too long, the prince of Chu, Yue Yiwu and Prime Minister Zhang Shang, will enter the palace tomorrow to say hello, and when the time comes, they will definitely know the truth! ”

Liu Che nodded when he heard this.

Yue Yiwu and Zhang Shang must not be able to hide it!

But now, the crux and difficulty of the problem lies in. Under such circumstances, it would definitely be difficult for the imperial court to trust the courtiers of Liu Wu, the king of Chu.

It's Yue Yiwu and Zhang Shang, I'm afraid. Now it is also the object of suspicion.

The reason is simple, the dead man certainly did not commit the crime alone, he must have accomplices, at least. He has to have an upline. Otherwise, without instructions, he would not have been able to act at all.

In this way, all the ministers accompanying the Chu State are suspicious.

Even, in the eyes of Liu Che's father, none of these people are reliable!

Think about it, a person like Taizu of the Heavenly Dynasty in the later generations. After encountering the major case of eternal health rebellion, the entire elite army was completely idle and dismantled.

Is that army full of chaotic parties?

Apparently not!

That unit was an old army with good roots. Absolutely reliable on the issue of loyalty!

However, since it has been associated with eternal health, no matter how reliable it is, it has become problematic!

At the moment, it's pretty much the same thing.

The dignified princes and kings, in full view of everyone, were assassinated by their personal guards.

No matter how loyal the courtiers of the Chu State were in the past, at this moment, they were all labeled as suspects.

Liu Che knows very well how tricky the current situation is!

"Lone wants to meet his father immediately!" Liu Che thought for a moment and immediately said.

The situation is extremely complicated.

The impact of Liu Wu's death in Weiyang Palace, Liu Che didn't know how bad it would be.

However, it is foreseeable that the follow-up handling of this matter will affect the general trend of the whole world.

As for you, you have to say, you can make the truth known to the world.

Hehe......

If this works, then the IQ of the people in the world is too low!

Think about it, Liu Wu, the king of Chu, died in Weiyang Palace!

As a result, the court sued the world that the king of Chu was killed by his own personal guards......

Who believes?

Anyway, Liu Che felt that if he was a prince and king who was separated from Chang'an, he would definitely not believe it!

I even felt in my heart that this was a lie made up by Chang'an to deceive children!

In Liu Che's view, there is only one way to do it today, and that is to ......

…………………………

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Ren took Liu Che to meet the Son of Heaven, and then the father and son talked secretly for more than an hour behind closed doors.

No one knows what the prince consulted with the Son of Heaven.

The only news that the outside world got was that the prince of Chu, Yue Yiwu, and the prime minister Zhang Shang entered the palace in the starry night, and then, the entire Weiyang Palace remained quiet and silent.

However, this strange tranquility was shattered two days later.

Guangling, the capital of Wu State.

Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was fully armed, wearing filial piety cloth and plain clothes.

His army of more than 100,000 was all vegetarian.

The fierce battle flag fluttered.

"The Son of Heaven of Chang'an was deceived by treachery and killed the King of Chu!" Liu Bi stepped onto the platform with a sad face, looked at the generals, and said sadly: "How innocent is the king of Chu? Chu, the eldest brother of Wu, in the past, when the king of Chu Yuan and the king of Yi were alive, he had many teachings on the widows, and now, the king of Chu Wu, died tragically in Chang'an, and the widows decided to seek justice for them. ”

He violently pulled out the sword on his waist and pointed to the heavens: "The widow is sixty-two years old, and he will be a general!" The young son is fourteen years old, and he is also the first soldier, and the upper and lower are compared with the widow, and the lower is compared with the young son, etc., all of them are haired! ”

But Liu Bi was still faintly uneasy in his heart.

Although the news from Chang'an has confirmed that Liu Wu is indeed dead.

But Chang'an has not released an obituary, and has remained unusually quiet and silent.

But at this moment, Liu Bi is difficult to endure anymore.

If he endures it any longer, in case, Chang'an mobilizes a large army into the Chu State to block his way out, then it will really be over.

It's better to take advantage of this opportunity to raid the state of Chu, take Pengcheng, and combine the forces of Wu and Chu, then there is still something to play.

Otherwise, with the land of the three counties of Wu State, Chang'an can surround Wu State to death!

"Gentlemen, let's help the society together, the Qing monarch's side, and punish the delusional ministers!"

"Qing Jun's side, punish the delusional minister!"

Amid the fanatical shouts of countless soldiers, the Han family sent overseers in Wu and courtiers who refused to follow the rebellion with more than 2,000 stones. All of them were dragged to the school yard and killed the sacrificial flag.

On the afternoon of October in the year of Ding Hai, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, killed the princes in vain with the imperial court, and did not treat the clan brothers with courtesy. In the name of the first emperor's meritorious service, he was appointed as a traitor and rebel, and in the name of turmoil and social peace, he raised troops in Guangling and conscripted men over 14 and under 62 in the territory of Wu.

The army of Wu crossed the Yangtze River in one day and drove straight in. Under the banner of 'helping the king of Chu take revenge' and 'seeking justice', Pengcheng, the capital of Chu, surrendered almost without a fight.

Within three days, there were more than 100 cities in the three counties of the entire Chu State. was included in the control of Wu Jun.

Liu Wei, the king of Wu, established Liu Shun, the prince of Liu Wu, the king of Chu, as the king of Chu, and even gave Liu Wu the nickname Huai.

At the same time, it is the world that has been passed on to the world, and Chang'an has been counted.

Three days later. King Wu's army and the fall of Chu and King Wu's battle report were transmitted to Chang'an.

Guanzhong shook. The world is shaking!

When Liu Che heard this, the corner of his mouth smiled: "Sure enough, jump into the pit!" ”

But Liu Che had to admit that there were still capable people under Liu Bi.

For example, Liu Bi's battle essay is very well written!

Liu Che stood up and instructed Wang Dao: "Prepare the car and enter the palace!" ”

………………

At the same time, the news of King Wu's rebellion and his submission reached the desks of almost all the princes and kings.

"King Wu Liu Bi respectfully asked the King of Jiaoxi, the King of Jiaodong, the King of Zichuan, the King of Jinan, the King of Zhao, the King of Hengshan, the King of Lujiang, and the Prince of Changsha: Lucky to teach the widow! Han has thieves. In vain, the world is invaded, and the princes' lands are invaded. The impeachment of the officials was punished, and for the sake of humiliation, Liu Wu, the king of Chu, was tragically killed! The heroes of the first emperor, all exiled and exterminated, without the courtesy of the king, Liu's flesh and blood, fearful and fearful, chaotic ministers and thieves, full of government and opposition, want to endanger the community, His Majesty is sick and lost, and cannot be examined. If the widow wants to raise an army to punish him, listen to the teaching! ”

In Changsha City, a nobleman in Chinese costume read the payment document sent by Liu Biao, and only halfway through it, he immediately jumped up and said, "Hurry, hurry!" ”

He immediately commanded his servants and subordinates: "Prepare armoured soldiers for me, and I will raise troops to respond to King Wu!" ”

This person is the concubine of Wu Qi, the king of Changsha, and he abolished his inheritance without discussing with the court, and gave Changsha to his son such an undisciplined practice, he hated the pain and has been dissatisfied.

“…… Although the country is narrow, the place is 3,000 miles, and although there are few people, there can be 500,000 elite soldiers...... "Qi country, Linzi, Qi King Liu Jianglu only glanced at the paper, and then treated it as waste paper and threw it into the trash, he smiled hehe: "What about this, still 3,000 miles?" Half a million? Ghost letter? It's good to look good if you're a widow......"

Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, was deeply skeptical about the success of King Wu's rebellion.

Even if Liu Bi already holds the territory of more than 200 cities in six counties at this time, in front of Chang'an, it is still not enough!

"The widow has been in South Vietnam for 30 years, and its kings have not given up their lives to follow the widows, and they can get more than 300,000 ......" Zichuan, Liu Xian, the king of Zichuan, looked at the payment of the text, to be honest, quite moved, Liu Xian just simply counted and found that Liu Bi, the king of Wu, already had an army of fifty plus thirty, eight hundred thousand.

Never mind if he's bragging.

can blow such a big, and the strength is definitely not weak.

It's just that......

Liu Xian looked at the troops at hand, crossed his wrist and counted carefully, he only had an army of about 3,000 people in total, and the rest were in Xingyang.

Well, if King Wu can enter Jianghuai west and his troops come to Xingyang, the widow will consider whether to follow him.

As for now, just watch the play.

The other kings of the Qi family also have their own abacus, and most of them have chosen to wait and see.

But Liu Bo, the king of Lujiang, was moved after seeing the payment of the paper.

Because, his eldest brother Liu An, the king of Huainan, was killed by Chang'an, although he had no relationship with Liu An, but the rabbit died and the fox was sad, Liu Bo felt that he should have made a plan early.

It's just that his foundation in Lujiang is still shallow, and Lujiang is only a small country, but a county can pull out an army of up to twenty or thirty thousand people in total.

If there is no external help, Liu Bo feels that he has to pull the flag on the front foot, and the back foot will have to be suppressed by his prime minister and Taifu, even if it is not so, the tens of thousands of disaster relief Han troops stationed in Hengshan Country next door can also kill him!

So, Liu Bo quietly sent a letter to Liu Bi, asking Liu Bi to send a large army to answer.

Zhao Guo Handan.

Zhao Wang Liu Sui hesitated.

Honestly, rebellion?

Zhao Wang Liu Sui had such an idea for a long time. It's just that Xingyang is not far from Handan!

If he dares to rebel, Xingyang's general Dou Ying will pinch him to death with one finger.

Unless......

"The Huns joined the ......" Liu Sui thought, so he found a close confidant, and ordered him to quietly go out of the customs and contact the Huns, well, if the Huns are willing to participate, then he will follow the rebellion, if the Huns are unwilling, then forget it!

Liu Sui felt that his little arms and legs would definitely not be able to beat Chang'an.

As for whether the Huns will mix in?

Liu Sui thought about it and felt that with the temper of the Huns, they would definitely come in.

Didn't the Huns invade last year?

Liu Sui felt that under normal circumstances, it was impossible for the Huns to let go of such a good opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob!

You must know that the Henan region under the control of Chang'an and the Xiongnu is only 800 miles! (Note 1)

……………………………………

Liu Che stepped into the Xuanshu Palace.

The whole hall was empty, and only the Son of Heaven sat upright.

"Is the prince ready?" Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, asked.

Liu Che knelt down and reported: "Father is almost there...... King Wu is now in the urn and can start performing! ”

A few days ago, when Liu Che entered the palace, he secretly discussed with his father and discussed a solution that was not a solution.

The idea is called Li Dai Taozhuang.

In short, since Liu Wu is dead, no matter how the court explains it, it is the same in the ears of those who have a heart.

Then just cheat!

It's hard and hard to find two people who are exactly the same in this world.

But if you're just looking for someone who is about the same, it's relatively simple.

Later generations of so many cos Joseon Kim dynasty of three generations.

On TV, there are piles of parody shows.

At this time, it is not difficult to find someone to imitate Liu Wu.

In fact, as long as the height, accent and body shape and face shape are about the same, it will be fine.

Then, put on a set of royal robes for him, and then let Yue Yiwu endorse Zhang Shang, so that he would be the most authentic King of Chu.

Who dares to question, who can doubt?

As a result, the Shaofu Yamen quickly found more than a dozen candidates with similar characteristics from the manor under its name.

After screening, a man who was born in Chu and grew up in Pengcheng was finally selected to play Liu Wu, the king of Chu.

After a few days of emergency training and guidance, at the very least, this man has been able to imitate Liu Wu's appearance under the guidance of others.

That's enough!

Liu Che remembered that in the last years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was a case of claiming to be Emperor Guangxu.

The case was finally heard before the governor of a certain province and ruled that it was a forgery.

This case tells people that in feudal society, if you want to pretend to be a big man, the key is not whether you are like or not, but whether you are brave enough.

As for this play, how should it end in the end?

Liu Che is not worried at all, when the play is over, find an excuse to let 'Liu Wu' 'die of natural causes' or commit suicide out of guilt or something, don't be too simple!

History is written by the victors.

As long as Liu Bi can be defeated, then, everything he has done now will be correct and righteous! (To be continued......)

PS: It's so bad today...... Tomorrow 1w bar~~~~ Hey ~~~~~

Note 1: At that time, Henan referred to the Hetao area~ and the Hetao and Chang'an were very close in terms of straight-line geographical distance! This is also the reason why the Xiongnu can often drive straight into the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, so the battle in which Wei Qing became famous was to recover the Hetao area.
