Chapter 394 Abolish the establishment and centralize power 【Request tickets】

Weiyang Palace.

The emperor returned to Chang'an one step ahead of time, and asked Dong Xu to pass the decree, calling Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu to see him.

After the emperor took his seat, he drew a pen on a piece of paper made of silk, but he drew a map of the northern border of the Han Dynasty.

He traveled through the Northland himself, and then described the northern border very clearly and delicately.

If you haven't been to other locations, the emperor will keep it blank.

If given the opportunity, he would personally go on a trip to the mountains and rivers, to reveal the land of Han.

The emperor stared at the painted border of the Huns, and the large area of ​​Nuo was now completely owned by the Han.

In his mind, he recalled the years of games and confrontations between the Han and the Huns.

After a while, Liu Pengzu's tall and fat body, led by Dong Xu, strode in from the outside.

He is dressed in royal robes, showing his wealth and grandeur, with a checkered dark green jade belt tied around his waist.After middle age, he is still full of vigor and energy, with piercing eyes.

"emperor!"

Liu Pengzu greeted him, took his seat at the lower left of the emperor, spoke first, and said:
"In a blink of an eye, you have been on the throne for nearly [-] years, emperor. You have subdued all ethnic groups, and your country has greatly increased. Such achievements are unique in the ages."

The emperor's eyes lowered slightly, still looking at the map he had drawn of the territory that the Huns merged into the Han.

Liu Pengzu seems to have a strong desire to express, and said:
"When you ascended the throne, I was the first among the brothers to speak second and agree with you as the emperor.

In recent years, there has been turmoil in Huainan inside, and the Huns and other barbarians outside.

Envoys from Huainan once visited me.Because my country is close to the northern border, the geographical location is especially important.

I didn't know the purpose of Huainan at the time, but they were persuasive and gave me many things.

I refused all of them, because I am very satisfied with the current situation. Despite internal and external turmoil, I have always firmly supported the emperor and have not wavered.

You were only 17 years old when you came to power. Others disapproved of you, but I did not. "

The emperor finally looked up at Liu Pengzu:

"That's why you have sat on the throne until now."

The emperor's words made Liu Pengzu feel a chill suddenly.

What the emperor meant was that he was not ignorant of some things, but he left room for Liu Pengzu and took care of his feelings.

Let him sit on the throne until now, the more he said, the more he felt that there was a hidden murderous intent.

The emperor had thought about wanting to abolish his throne?

Liu Pengzu's thoughts flickered, and the more he thought about it, the colder he felt.

I had prepared so many words before, and there was no need to continue.

"Some thoughts, I may have the same idea as you a few years ago. But sitting in this position, I gradually understand a truth.

The people are the foundation of the world and the country, and if the people's hearts are not stable, everything will fail. "

"I am compatible with the fate of the country, and I feel deeply. If the fate of the country increases, I will benefit, and if the fate of the country declines, I will be affected accordingly."

Liu Che looked at Liu Pengzu: "I am not afraid of foreign enemies. From the moment I ascended the throne, I made a great wish to subdue the barbarians so that I, a big man, will not be humiliated by foreign enemies.

However, the process of rejuvenating the Han Dynasty is not easy, and there are many difficulties in front of us. It is a game with other countries outside, and Xiao Xiao covets inside.

How much threat did the Huns alone pose to us? "

"You were born in the clan, how dangerous is Gaozu's Baideng siege.

If something happened to Gao Zu at that time, the mountains and rivers might also be overturned.When the Great Han Dynasty was first established, we waited for everything to be done, and our soldiers were not strong, so we could only bear the humiliation.

For a while, the Huns were so arrogant that they treated our Han people as livestock.

When I first came to power, the Xiongnu asked me for ten thousand horses and [-] people and animals in the letter of credence they gave me.

After reading it, it took me a while to realize that they equated me with Han people and animal husbandry.

At that time in the Xiongnu, they raised and lived our Han people with their livestock. They made people wear animal skins and climb on the ground, and they were not allowed to stand up and walk. They whipped them for fun. "

The emperor put one arm on the low seat, stopped Liu Pengzu from speaking, and continued:
"The foreign enemies are so fierce, but I always feel that they are not terrible, because all the foreign enemies are on the bright side. We Han people will never be willing to be oppressed by the Huns. Sooner or later, they will be defeated and all the debts owed to us Han people will be taken away. return.

No matter how fierce they came, there are thousands of Han troops on the front line, there are General Wei, and there are champions.

You all think that I value martial arts, that I favored Wei Qing too much in the early years, and in the past few years, I have reused the champion.Have you ever seen them fight on the battlefield, and spent more than half of their time fighting outside for many years, and they were not allowed to go home!
Have you ever seen them personally lead the crowd to the enemy, fight through the formations among thousands of armies, regardless of their own lives!
What I am afraid of is that the soldiers on the front line use their lives and the officials work hard, but there are some people behind the scenes who will act recklessly and shake the hearts of the people and the destiny of the country.

This is more terrifying than any foreign enemy.

Especially some of them are my relatives, who are outside the criminal law.Like the Huns, treat the people as livestock! "

Liu Pengzu was shocked and said angrily: "The emperor said these words, but did Xiao Xiao come forward to slander the king?
This king knows that the emperor is referring to me, but please don't listen to the slander. "

"I said so much just now, but you didn't listen to it, did you?"

The emperor said: "If you dare to quibble again, I will depose you, and if the various branches of the clan dare to support you, I will punish them severely together!
I'd like to see who dares to stand up and support you! "

Liu Pengzu's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth, and said nothing.

"You wait here until Qubing comes back from HD."

Liu Pengzu has realized that the emperor is really angry.

At this time, fighting against the emperor will definitely not lead to good results.

The sun was setting and the sky was completely dark.

The emperor bowed his head to deal with all kinds of memorials he had accumulated in the afternoon.

Just as night fell, Huo Qubing returned to Chang'an, and walked into the brightly lit study room with bronze lotus cups from the outside.

Then he grabbed Liu Dan, whose face was covered in blood, from the military mansion next to him.

Liu Pengzu looked at Liu Dan's shattered cheek and bloody leg sitting on the ground, with shocking anger on his face: "Huo Qubing, but you hurt my son?

I want your life! "

The emperor looked at Liu Dan: "Have you hit someone, Champion?"

"Fight, Liu Dan, the heir of Prince Zhao, gathered soldiers from the county to attack the embroidered clothes."

Huo Qubing said tenaciously: "The minister came back all the way, after inquiry, the person who embroidered the clothes took notes, and got quite a lot.

This is Liu Dan's confession. In the past few years, he arbitrarily plundered the women's family members who came and went, and privately minted bad coins. "

Huo Qubing handed over a roll of bamboo slips.

The emperor took it, didn't look at it, but threw it to Liu Pengzu who was beside him.

Liu Pengzu didn't look at it either, and said: "He tortured my son severely, how can the confession be accurate?
Dan'er, I want to ask you as a father, did they force you to make this confession? "

Liu Dan glanced at his father, and said, "Exactly, they not only forced me, but also threatened me, accusing me randomly.

The injuries the boy suffered were all caused by beatings, and he had no choice but to admit what he said, otherwise his life might be in danger.

Hai'er's two followers, as well as the county soldiers in the county, were killed by him as many as possible.

Father, Your Majesty, let me decide. "

The emperor looked at Huo Qubing: "What do you have to say, Champion?"

Huo Qubing Shi Shiran said: "On the way back, I have sent an order to the local garrison to go to the place where the king Zhao's son confessed to minting bad coins, and where he hid his female relatives for his own amusement."

Liu Pengzu stood up abruptly, and took a step forward: "Huo Qubing, what are you doing?"

Huo Qubing said: "King Zhao, don't worry, the news I just received before entering the palace is that when the garrison arrived, the people you arranged were destroying the evidence.

Your people still dare to confront the Han army, which is like a rebellion.

After being captured by the garrison, they confessed their crimes one by one by "extracting a confession through severe torture".

There are hundreds of people who have pleaded guilty, and they are all slandering you, King Zhao. You should kill them all to prove your innocence. "

Huo Qubing said the truth.

Liu Pengzu was trembling with anger, his lips were slightly purple, and his eyes were spitting fire.

The emperor said: "Champion Marquis has made a big mistake in using torture privately. Even if he has made meritorious service to the country, he can't be so lawless.

I will punish you... with three months' salary.

If there is another war, you will be punished to personally lead the troops to defeat the enemy and fight with the enemy on the front line. If there is any injury, it will be the punishment for the mistakes you made today, and no meritorious service will be rewarded. "

Liu Pengzu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and was fined three months.

He has a fief of ten thousand households, does he care about three months' salary?
And punish him to kill the enemy on the battlefield?
Huo Qubing is invincible on the battlefield, and the whole world knows, is this a reward or a punishment for him to make another contribution?
It's okay to make meritorious deeds without rewards.

"King Zhao felt that my punishment was unfair, and his face was so ugly.

In this way, I will punish Zhao Wang and his son Liu Dan to follow Huo Qubing to the battlefield for supervision. "

Liu Pengzu's complexion was pale, and he felt his blood rushing to the top.

If my father and I really went to the battlefield, wouldn't life and death be entirely in Huo Qubing's hands.

"Champion, you go down. Think about your mistakes at home, and I will punish you for five days. Don't keep causing trouble for me." The emperor gave Huo Qubing a stern look.

Huo Qubing came out of the study and went home by himself.

In the study room, the emperor looked at Liu Pengzu: "You are from the lineage of King Zhao, and you have repeatedly lost your manners. You minted coins privately, and there are many incidents of chaos. From now on, I will take back your county fief, and you can go back to Chang'an to live." .

I punish you for ten years, and you are not allowed to come out of the mansion.The eldest son, Liu Dan, was deprived of his right to inherit the throne and demoted to a commoner. "

Liu Pengzu's hands and feet were numb.

Liu Dan was stunned and speechless, unable to believe it.

The emperor actually wanted to uproot his lineage of King Zhao and take back the fief and seal the country!

Liu Pengzu was not a fool, and immediately thought that the emperor was trying to scare the chickens and monkeys, using him to frighten all the places to become kings, and further promote the recovery of coinage rights.

Thinking deeper, the emperor is strengthening his centralization!
This is probably just the beginning, and there will be greater turmoil in the future.

The entire clan may be in for a storm.

"I have leniently treated you. You should be clear that what you have done is a capital offense."

Liu Pengzu stood there for a long time, and the bargaining chips he could use against the emperor were actually very limited.

Those people from various branches of the clan behind him, if the emperor was really angry, would never go all out for Liu Pengzu and the emperor to the end at this moment.

Especially when Huo Qubing fought repeatedly and mobilized troops to master a series of empirical evidence in a short period of time.

And what would be the result if all the branches of the clan were used to fight with all their strength?
If it really comes to that point, the consequences are almost doomed to death... Liu Pengzu bowed slowly: "I accept the order, thank you, Your Majesty."

"Go down," said the emperor.

Right now is just the beginning.

The emperor was indeed planning to take the opportunity to rectify the kingships in various places. This was something he had been planning since the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion and the Huainan Rebellion not long ago.

In history, Emperor Wu also continued to strengthen his control over the kings, with a high degree of centralization.

----

The lights are on.

When Huo Qubing returned to the mansion, he found a visitor.

In a side hall of the inner house, there is the sound of drum music.

Liu Qing played the piano himself, and Bai Nanyu plucked the pipa.

There is also a woman dancing on the blanket in the middle of the hall.

He was wearing a red and gold long skirt, which was different from the narrow waist style of the Han skirt, revealing a small waist and arms.

The golden tassels specially made for dancing are worn on the white and small bare feet. The tassels sway with the dance steps, refracting the lights in the hall, and the movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, shining like flowing waves.

His figure is ups and downs, every move has an inexplicable charm, sometimes he bends his legs and leans over, and his colorful hand gestures are like graceful flowers blooming.

The expressions on the face correspond to the movements, being kind and solemn at one moment, elegant and pure at the other, presenting a strong visual impact and shocking people's hearts.

Its body is like a swan goose, its arms are as soft as bones, and its feet are covered with lotuses, rolling like a drop of dew on a lotus leaf, full of spirituality.

The woman danced forward and backward, as if reflecting the most graceful truth between heaven and earth, and the movement, stillness and emptiness formed a different kind of torsion, seemingly advancing and retreating, with infinite changes.

After one song, all the singing and dancing in the hall will stop.

Everyone was completely immersed in its moving dance.

"I heard that you are both excellent in music and dance. It is indeed amazing."

Liu Qing spoke first, looked at Huo Qubing who was standing in the porch, and said happily, "Your husband said so?"

The dancing girl turned her head and saw Huo Qubing standing in the porch, her complexion turned slightly moist.
