Chapter 150: Removing Hidden Dangers

"Great gift, what kind of big gift will make Uncle Liu fall to such a point?" Zhao Kuangyin was puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help but look at the wooden boxes. Liu He did not continue to explain, but raised his head and motioned for Zhao Kuangyin to open the wooden box and watch it by himself.

Zhao Kuangyin did not hesitate, immediately reached out and took off one of the wooden boxes, when the lid of the box was opened, his face changed greatly, it turned out that the so-called "big gift" in the wooden box was actually a human head! Zhao Kuangyin pursed his lips tightly, and then opened the remaining three wooden boxes one by one, and there was no accident that all of them were human heads. Zhao Kuangyin did not immediately question the origin of Liu He's heads, but observed them himself; Liu He was not a person who loved to kill, since he said that these heads were "great gifts," there must be a reason for them.

He carefully observed the owners of several heads of the latter and his acquaintances, namely Wang Kuang, one of the three envoys, Meng Geguang, the envoy of the Luzhou Festival, and Zhang Taichang, the chief envoy of Buzheng, and Ma Kui, the deputy envoy, they were all powerful and well-known figures, but now they have become cold corpses, and even their heads have been cut off.

"Uncle Liu, what mistakes did they make, why did they want to be executed?" Zhao Kuangyin was Zhao Kuangyin after all, he was very happy, calmed down the surprise in his heart, and asked Liu He calmly.

"Don't be surprised, they are the most active figures in the forces that strongly oppose me making you emperor, and even though I have tried to persuade and even make many promises, they have not changed their minds. Saying that, Liu He sighed.

"I know that the establishment of you as emperor will definitely touch the interests of many people, and it will not be smooth sailing, causing a certain amount of shock, it is certain. However, they are the most representative figures in this group of people, and they are very influential. Even according to the information I received, since they clearly opposed you to becoming emperor and knew that they could not change my decision, they began to act in tandem and activities, intending to win over more ministers to form an alliance against you collectively. Meng Geguang even planned to return to the garrison to raise troops and rebel and take refuge in the Liao State!" Speaking of this, Liu He's voice already carried a tone of anger and grief.

"They are all important ministers of my Northern Han Dynasty, Wang Kuang and Zhang Taichang, and even the elders of the Northern Han Dynasty, who have known each other since I was appointed as Taiyuan Taishou, but now the differences are getting bigger and bigger, and finally lead to the current situation. You should be able to imagine what would happen to me if they really succeeded! After Liu He finished speaking, he was already crying with tears in his eyes.

Zhao Kuangyin was also silent at this time, of course he knew what situation the Northern Han would face if Wang Kuang and them succeeded. Now the Northern Han Dynasty looks thriving, but in fact, it is out of the cusp of the conflict, the surrounding countries are eyeing each other, and there is no attack at present, but it is only a concern that the strength of the Northern Han is still strong, and the internal unity is not easy to defeat.

However, if Wang Kuang and his ministers prevented Zhao Kuangyin from proclaiming himself emperor Liu He would inevitably be forcefully suppressed, and the confrontation between the two would definitely lead to political instability; Meng Geguang Jiedu Luzhou was just guarding the Northern Liao and attacking the gateway of the Northern Han Dynasty, and if he betrayed the country, then Luzhou would immediately open the door, and I am afraid that the elite soldiers of the Northern Liao would be able to knock on the pass and sweep the Central Plains; as soon as the war was in chaos, the Northern Han Dynasty would immediately be in chaos. The political instability and the war will surely take advantage of the weakest time of the Northern Han Dynasty to carve up his land, people, and wealth like wolves that smell fish.

Zhao Kuangyin thought a little further: How many lives will be caught in the flames of war, how many families will be fragmented, and how severe will the losses of the Han nation be, will the situation of five chaotic and ten rooms and nine empty rooms in Central China be repeated? Even if the Northern Han Dynasty has the support of You Longzi and other cultivators behind them, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu He and others can eliminate civil strife and expel people from other places, I am afraid that the Northern Han will also lose its strength at that time, and it will no longer have the ability to compete in the world.

After figuring out this, Zhao Kuangyin also understood Liu He's intention: It is better to have a long pain than a short pain, and it is better to nip the disaster in the bud with the power of thunder than to cause a big disaster in the future! Liu He is also a heroic man of a generation who has something to do, so he can naturally think of this truth. So he hardened his heart and immediately arrested the four and beheaded all of them. Such a resolute and resolute move immediately deterred all the ill-intentioned people, the snake has no head, and those who are connected in tandem have lost the leader, and naturally they have no confidence to confront Liu He's authority, so the announcement of the founding of the country and the emperor can be so easy to spread, and it does not even have much impact on the Northern Han Dynasty. From this point of view, although Liu He usually acts peacefully, he can be ruthless at critical moments, and he is a qualified politician.

It's just that Liu He is also a human being, no matter how hard-hearted he is, when he personally ordered the execution of his old subordinates and old friends, he didn't know how painful it would be. Even if he comforts himself with the righteousness of the country and right and wrong, he can't avoid that kind of pain, and I don't know what kind of pain he will have when he recalls those past events in a midnight dream. Suffering from constant inner torture is probably the reason why Liu He's physical condition is so poor.

There were many things that came to mind in an instant, and Zhao Kuangyin looked at Liu He, who was still sitting in the chair with a depressed expression, and the reverence in his eyes became more and more intense. For the sake of this country, for the sake of the people, for the future to realize the ideal of peace in the world, this old man has really paid too much, he is as good as possible, after clearing the obstacles for himself, he handed over the power to himself without hesitation, just to let himself, the emperor of heaven as the world said, ascend the throne to unify the world, and let the people live a good life, such an old man is worthy of admiration.

He couldn't help but leave his seat and bowed deeply to Liu He: "Uncle Liu, you have done so much for your little nephew, and you are worshiped by your little nephew." Don't worry, the little nephew vows to sweep the world and make the world peaceful!" His words were loud, and an invisible momentum rose up like a coiling dragon, as if he had become the king of the world.

Liu He looked at Zhao Kuangyin and couldn't help but be shocked by his momentum, and secretly said in his heart, what the Taoist said was right, Kuangyin really has the atmosphere of an emperor and has a bright future, my decision is not wrong. Thinking about it, the sentiment in my heart can't help but lighten a lot.

After Zhao Kuangyin finished speaking, he asked Liu He about some national affairs, and Liu He did not hide his selfishness, answered them one by one, and chatted all night unconsciously.
