Chapter 266 Lu Pheasant: I wonder how the late emperor would feel when he saw him? (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
The wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, and we are returning to our hometown in the sea.
The warriors of An De are guarding the four sides!
——Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty
………………
When Prince Liu Ying ascends the throne, what will happen to the world?
In fact, there are historical doubts about whether Liu Bang really wanted to abolish Liu Ying's crown prince position and replace it with Liu Ruyi.
after all.
As the eldest son of the first generation of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying was once abandoned by his father in the car, but in the end, he experienced the test of blood and fire with his father.
Moreover, Liu Ying, a young man with a pure nature and benevolence, fits the image of an excellent successor who rests with the people after troubled times.
War is a matter of one generation and should not be followed by another generation.
Since other people can see this, it is impossible for the great ancestor Liu Bang, who knew countless people, not to see it.
Moreover, Liu Bang married late and had children late. In his twilight years, Liu Ying was only sixteen years old, while Liu Ruyi was less than ten years old. The world was at the beginning, and the country needed a long-term ruler. It was even more impossible for the shrewd Liu Bang not to understand this.
Ask him to hand over a big man to a nine-year-old child. Unless Liu Bang's brain is slapped and kicked by a donkey, there is a high probability that he will not be able to do such a thing.
and.
Even if Liu Bang finally decides to go his own way and support Liu Ruyi as the crown prince, after his death, Liu Ruyi, who is only ten years old, will definitely not be able to sit on the throne, and Mrs. Qi, who only knows how to dance and music, cannot do it. Suppress the court.
the reason is simple.
Liu Ruyi's background and Liu Ying's background, compared to each other, are like a firefly compared to a bright moon, they are not at the same level at all.
As the original shareholder of the Dahan Group, the creation of the Liu Han family was indispensable with the help of the Lu family. Especially when Liu Bang was defeated many times, it was the Lu family who overcame all obstacles and provided blood for Liu Bang with a huge amount of money and an organized army. .
On this point, the contribution made by the Lu family is no less than that of Xiao He.
Of course, the many contributions of the Lu family to the Han Dynasty are difficult to find due to the many deliberate deletions in the history books. Even the historical records of Sima Gong have been changed. It can only be found from clues that the Lu family is indeed responsible for the Han Dynasty. Liu Bang, the son-in-law, made an unlimited capital increase in venture capital.
Since it is venture capital, of course it needs returns.
Therefore, after the founding of the Han Dynasty, the Lu family's relatives naturally became the founding heroes. They all had original stocks, received salary every month, and received dividends every year. The Lu family's relatives became a force that cannot be ignored in the Han Dynasty temple. Powerful force.
This is Liu Ying's matrilineal power. What does Liu Ruyi have? Maybe it’s loneliness!
Not to mention the influence of Lu's relatives in the court.
Xiao He, Cao Shen and other veterans who followed Liu Bang from Peixian County, who had not received every favor from the old sister-in-law, how could they rebel at this time? Naturally, they stood behind Liu Ying openly and secretly.
Even partners like Zhang Liang, who joined with talented people, also adhered to the eldest son system and firmly chose Liu Ying.
It is impossible for Liu Bang, who has manipulated people's hearts all his life, not to know the situation of the court and the aspirations of the people.
Therefore.
Liu Bang repeatedly raised the issue of changing the crown prince in public. In fact, it was most likely that he was just deliberately trying to defeat the Lu family. It was a typical operation of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
"Have you been feeling chest tightness, shortness of breath, and dizziness recently?"
Ji Boying looked at Liu Bang and asked aloud.
Hear the words.
Old Man Liu paused, thought for a moment, and then shook his head. Apart from his lack of energy, he felt that his body was fine.
"Um."
Ji Boying nodded slightly.
The cause of Old Man Liu's death in history can be roughly attributed to three aspects.
One is the physical fatigue caused by running around in battles all year round; the other is the major and minor injuries sustained during battles, mainly arrow wounds in the Battle of Pingyingbu in 195 BC; and the third is because of the casual living habits and never Pay attention to health care. As you age, your body's functions begin to naturally degrade.
Liu Bang's current time and space is still in 196 BC. Liu Bang has just put down Chen Xi's rebellion and returned to the court. Wang Yingbu's rebellion in Huainan, which should have started in a few months, has not yet begun. Naturally, he has not yet received the arrow wound that directly triggered the arrival of death. .
Although Liu Bang said that he had no cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems, Ji Boying secretly prepared several things, such as Suxiao Jiuxin Pills, Angong Niuhuang Pills, and special antihypertensive drugs, just in case of emergency.
"The question you asked is a little complicated."
"Let me show you a section first."
Then, Ji Boying stood up.
Lao Zhu, Zhao Da and Li Er all had bright eyes and looked at Ji Boying eagerly. Ji Boying naturally knew what their eyes meant.
Ji Boying did not refuse, and agreed by default.
"You can go with us."
The words fell out.
Except for Lao Zhu, who was expected, Zhao Da and Li Er's eyes were filled with joy.
'Can you still watch it? '
'What do you think? '
When Liu Bang heard this, he was stunned. Zhang Er was confused and had no idea what the immortal master meant.
However, the next moment, he suddenly felt that the scenery around him had changed.
……………………
The time and space of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, the second year of Emperor Hui, 194 BC.
Changle Palace, where Empress Gao lived, was on the alleyway leading to Yongxiang in the palace.
The emperor, Luan Jia, was marching in an orderly manner. The palace servant leading the way was walking tremblingly, hunched over, and wiping the cold sweat on his forehead from time to time. He looked very nervous, as if something was wrong. Something terrible happened.
"Not here yet?"
Above Luan Jia, eighteen-year-old Liu Ying frowned slightly.
Hearing the emperor's words, the man who led the way quickly stopped, knelt down and kowtowed, and then spoke tremblingly.
"Return, report back to Your Majesty, it's right in front."
Got words.
Liu Ying didn't say anything more, nodded slightly, and gave the palace man a look that said there was no need to be afraid, indicating that he should continue to lead the way. The palace man quickly stood up and continued to lead the way with his body hunched over.
Whenever future generations talk about Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, their first impressions are mostly words such as cowardice and mama's baby.
In fact, after Liu Ying, the second emperor of the Han Dynasty, ascended the throne, although all the power in the court was in the hands of his mother, Empress Lu, in the early stage, some of Liu Ying's ideas on governing the country and personal opinions could not be ignored as long as they did not involve At the core of Queen Lu's power, she still got the support of Queen Lu, after all, she was just a son.
For example, Liu Ying advocated the continuation of the policy of suspending the army and supporting the people in the era of Emperor Gaozu.
For example, Liu Ying was considerate of the people and exempted the common people from taxes and corvee.
For example, he was particularly concerned about the fertility problems of the people. He decreed that a woman must get married before she reaches the age of fifteen. If she is not married, she will have to bear five times the tax. In order to save taxes, the people married off their daughters one after another, which greatly increased the national income. The fertility rate increased the population base of the Han Dynasty.
For another example, his decree directly abolished the "Law of Holding Books" promulgated during the Qin Shihuang period, which initially liberated the minds of the people, promoted the exchange of folk culture, and laid a very solid public opinion foundation for the Han Dynasty to only respect Confucianism in the future.
For another example, despite the opposition of the courtiers, he strongly demanded the comprehensive repair of Chang'an City in the capital. In the Emperor Gaozu's time, Chang'an City was said to be the imperial capital, but in fact it only had a few streets in total. Liu Bang was out all day suppressing rebellions and had no time. To worry about these, it is really not up to the size and momentum of the Imperial Capital of the Han Dynasty. In Liu Ying's era, it only took four years to build Chang'an City into the real capital of the Han Dynasty. According to historical records, the completed Chang'an City was so majestic that It was comparable to the Roman capital of the day. After that, Chang'an truly became the political and economic center of the world.
and.
Liu Ying has a pure and kind nature. Whether it is his eldest brother Liu Fei, third brother Liu Ruyi, or other younger brothers, they are all protective of him. For this reason, he even does not hesitate to fight with his mother Lu Fei.
After Liu Fei was killed because of Liu Ruyi, Liu Ying learned the lesson and deliberately offered to exchange drinks with Liu Fei at the banquet. This forced Lu Zhi to temporarily stop and let Liu Fei escape with his life.
But without Empress Lu, it’s hard to say whether Liu Ying could have become a wise king and brought the great man to glory. After all, it might be because the young man had been a hostage for several years. This boy’s psychological endurance is really a little bit weak. lacking.
After about a stick of incense,
"Your Majesty, please move."
The palace man leading the way stopped at a narrow alley.
A quick glance at the alley and a rough estimate showed that it was only wide enough for two people to pass through, so it was obviously impossible for the Emperor Luanjia to pass through.
Liu Ying looked at the entrance to the deep alley, and the wind blew through it, blowing a chilly air that was threatening.
Subconsciously, his brows furrowed, and his eyes became more confused. This alley was called 'Yongxiang', which was a narrow and long secluded alley in Changle Palace. It was specially used to imprison concubines and maids who were guilty of crimes. It was somewhat similar to the cold palace or the cold palace in later generations. Yeyouting means,
There is a poem that goes: Yongxiang has been resentful of Qiluo for many years, and he has been thinking about the storm all day long when he is separated. There are endless marks on the bamboos in Xiangjiang River, and there is a lot of wine in front of the Xianshou monument.
"Yongxiang."
"My mother ordered someone to bring me to Yongxiang early in the morning for what I'm doing."
After Luan Jia landed, Liu Ying stood up and stepped out, looking at the name plaque at the entrance of the alley.
This voice that seemed like self-questioning fell into the ears of the palace people around him. No one dared to answer, and they all just bowed their bodies.
"Lead the way."
Liu Ying glanced at the frightened palace attendants and did not continue to ask any more questions.
He understands his mother's temperament. Since it is a matter assigned by his mother, how dare these palace servants dare to say anything wantonly. Any word that should not be said is a serious crime of losing one's head.
In the deep palace, the lives of ordinary palace residents are not worth even a piece of grass.
"Here."
The palace servants continued to lead the way, while Liu Ying followed on foot.
After taking a tea break in this Yongxiang, the palace guide finally stopped in front of a toilet in a remote corner. Before opening the toilet door, an extremely pungent fishy smell mixed with stench poured in. Breathing, extremely uncomfortable.
Liu Ying's brows frowned instantly.
Are you bringing me here to eat shit? !
"How dare you, this humble maid, bring His Majesty to such a dirty place!"
The guard beside him shouted loudly, frightening the person who was leading the palace to the point where he knelt down immediately, with snot and tears streaming down his face in an instant.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, yes, yes, the Queen Mother ordered my servant to bring Your Majesty here, slave, slave, I don't know anything...!"
Liu Ying gave the guard a look of retreat, and then signaled to the palace guide not to be afraid, and then looked at the toilet door in front of her. Feeling the stench in her nose, Liu Ying was silent for a long time.
'Why did the Queen Mother order someone to take me to the toilet? '
'Do you want me to pay tribute? '
'But why did Chu Gong come to Yongxiang? '
'Or is there something special in this toilet? But what exactly is hidden in the toilet in Yongxiang? '
With a hundred thousand reasons in mind, Liu Ying pushed open the toilet door and stepped in.
Just two steps into the door, I looked up, and my eyes were immediately locked on a bloody thing in the filth of the pit.
'What the hell? '
With doubts, Liu Ying subconsciously looked carefully.
Suddenly, he saw that it was a human body, with knife marks that had cut open the flesh on his face. There was no hair on the top of his head. The body had neither hands nor feet. There were no eyes in the eye sockets, and there was no nose or ears.
At a glance, there were only two bloody holes left on the face, and the body was still moving slightly. The mouth was opened very wide, and the tongue inside was gone. I wanted to scream out in pain but couldn't.
Buzz~!
When she finally realized what this was, Liu Ying's mind suddenly shut down.
Standing in front of this pit, I was stunned for three or four seconds.
Yue~!
He leaned against the wall and vomited on the spot, including all the dinner he had eaten three days ago.
"What, what is this?!"
After finishing her reading, Liu Ying's voice was filled with unspeakable horror, and she asked the Yongxiang Palace Supervisor who was kneeling on the ground, the person who had just introduced the palace.
The Yongxiang palace eunuch was kneeling on the ground, his head hanging down, his body trembling uncontrollably. Facing His Majesty the Emperor's questions, he did not dare to say a word.
Liu Ying subconsciously wanted to exit the toilet. After all, if he took one more look, he was afraid that he would even spit out his feces.
But just when he was about to turn around.
Suddenly, I felt that my left shoulder was being pressed by a strong hand.
Liu Ying subconsciously turned her head to look. When she saw the face of the owner of this big hand clearly, her whole body froze in place.
Not only was he frozen, but all the palace eunuchs and guards following Liu Ying were also stunned for a moment.
Emperor Taizu Gao had just passed away less than a year ago. Most of the palace servants who followed Liu Ying had served the late emperor before, and of course they still remembered Liu Bang's glorious appearance.
They all shouted in their hearts: Emperor Daxing has faked his corpse!
"Father, father, father, father, father."
Liu Ying opened her mouth and stammered out "Father". The moment he saw his father, his brain's CPU crashed. There was only a buzzing sound left in his brain. What? Can't think either.
But Liu Bang's eyes were not on Liu Ying, but on the filthy bloody human pig in the pit.
It looks very familiar.
Then he took back the hand on Liu Ying's shoulder, stepped forward to the pit, and looked at it from a close distance.
"It's too awful."
Li Er looked at the mass of bloody stuff in the pit that exuded a foul and pungent smell and sighed.
"Although I have read about this scene in history books, it is still shocking to see it with my own eyes."
Zhao Da also spoke in a solemn voice.
"Brother?"
Lao Zhu just turned his head and wanted to discuss the situation of this human pig with Ji Boying, but he found that the immortal master had already turned over, with his hands behind his waist, looking at the wall of the toilet with a solemn expression.
This surprised Lao Zhu, and he looked at the wall, thinking, is there anything different about the wall of this pit? !
Reality.
'Damn, that's disgusting! '
Ji Boying's appearance did not change at all, but he was complaining crazily in his heart.
In order to maintain his immortal demeanor in front of everyone, at the critical moment, he gritted his teeth and swallowed back the sour water in his stomach.
Almost failed.
After taking one look at this bloody pig, Ji Boying swore not to look at it a second time.
He is different from Lao Zhu, Zhao Da Li Er and Liu Laohan. These four came from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield. They saw many kinds of corpses. Regarding the human pig in front of them, they At best, I was shocked, not to the point of being nauseated.
……………………
At the same time, in Hongwu time and space, in Zuixian Tower.
Zhujiacun, Zhaojiazhuang, Tangjiabao and others were watching this scene through 36D holographic projection. When these Taiping emperors saw the human pigs in the pit, they only felt the impact of the picture and could not smell the stench of blood. They also vomited a large amount of it.
Only the Jiajing Immortal was sitting cross-legged on his seat, staring intently at the human pig in the pit. He looked at it carefully. He didn't feel disgusted at all. He was indeed a ruthless person who could eat canned herrings.
……………………
"Qi Ji?"
Liu Bang stood on the edge of the pit, staring at the human pigs in the pit, and spoke tentatively.
Although Mrs. Qi is completely unrecognizable now, she has been beside her for more than ten years, so how could Liu Bang not recognize her at all.
As Liu Bang finished speaking.
The human in the pit was stunned at first, and then the body began to twist wildly. Although she had both ears cut off, she did not completely lose her hearing. When this familiar voice entered her ears, she tried her best to Want to hide.
She didn't want to be seen like this.
The moment Liu Ying heard the name 'Qi Ji', her pupils trembled, she looked sharply at the kneeling palace eunuch Yongxiang, and shouted angrily.
"Who is this person!"
Now that things have come to this, the Yongxiang Palace Supervisor at this moment finally dares not to hide anything anymore. He kowtows to the ground and speaks tremblingly.
"Back, back to Your Majesty, yes, yes, it's Mrs. Qi!"
Buzz~!
At this moment, Liu Ying felt that her three views had completely collapsed.
He always knew that his mother was ruthless, but he never expected that she would be so ruthless.
"Ying'er, how do you wish?"
After confirming that the pig in the trap was Qi Ji, Liu Bang's eyes remained calm.
Looking at the people in the pit, this person who used to be good at singing and dancing, and also a good chess player, asked aloud.
Hearing this suddenly.
Liu Ying recovered from the shock, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
"My third brother passed away."
Liu Ruyi was summoned to the capital at the end of last year. In order to prevent Empress Lu from poisoning Liu Ruyi, Liu Ying kept him by her side for more than a month, sleeping in the same bed and accompanying him day and night. However, there was only an oversight, and Liu Ruyi was poisoned by Empress Lu. Drunk to death.
"Um."
Liu Bang was not surprised by Liu Ruyi's ending. He just nodded slightly, and his whole person was surprisingly calm.
At this moment, Lao Zhu, Li Er and Zhao Da all had a tacit understanding and did not speak. Ji Boying was facing the stone wall on the side of the pit, facing the people in the pit, but the corners of his eyes could not stop twitching slightly, and his instinct drove him to endure I can't help but want to take another look.
It was like looking at the old corpse in a mountain village. Although I was scared to death, I still couldn't help but want to take a look at it.
With just a glance from the corner of his eye, the stomach acid that he swallowed surged up again, his face turned red, and he forcefully swallowed it back again.
'Assi! This damn obsessive-compulsive disorder! '
And at this moment.
"Here comes the sword."
Liu Bang looked calm and raised his hand slightly.
Hearing this, the sword guard following Liu Ying reacted and quickly knelt down to present the Emperor's Sword.
With almost no hesitation, Liu Bang threw the sword directly the moment he took it. The tip of the sword accurately passed through Mrs. Qi's heart. Her body trembled slightly and relaxed completely.
She was finally relieved from the rest of her miserable life.
……………………
at the same time.
Changxin Palace in Changle Palace is where Lu Fei's dormitory was located.
At this time, Lu Pheasant, who had just dressed up, stepped out of the palace threshold with a spring breeze smile. On her side, her natal nephews Lu Tai, Lu Chan, and Lu Lu followed, all of whom were future heroes. The main figure in Lu Zhi's rebellion.
Among the current Lus, Lu Tai, who is the eldest son of the Lu family, has the highest status. After Empress Lu took the throne, Lu Tai was named King Lu by Empress Lu, and created the Lu Kingdom. It can be said that it is the clan state of the Lu family. But he died relatively early, so the actual people in power during the Zhulu Rebellion were Lu Chan, who was named King of Liang, and Lu Lu, who was named King of Zhao.
One of these two guys is in charge of the Southern Army, and the other is in charge of the Northern Army. They firmly hold the military power of the entire capital in the hands of the Lu family.
"Lü Chan, Lu Lu, you two, don't be impatient. It's only a matter of time before you are granted a title, so you have to wait patiently for a while."
Lu Pheasant walked slowly.
"Aunt, we are not in a hurry, but if we don't have the title of marquis, others will disobey our Lu family! My nephew is really thinking about our Lu family!"
Lu Lu opened his mouth and said, this Lu Lu Dahanhan was the Lu family's biggest instigator during the Zhulu Rebellion. After being coaxed and deceived, he actually took the initiative to kill him. The Great Seal of the Northern Army consecrated Zhou Bo's talents with both hands.
The reason why Empress Lu appointed these nephews of hers was because she had no choice but to be taller among the short ones.
"Lu Chan, Lu Lu, my aunt has just said that she will make you a marquis. You two just wait patiently, and the title is nothing more than a mirror. What the Lu clan really wants is to control the military, so that we can truly protect my aunt and her family." The status of my Lu family."
Lu Tai said solemnly, as the eldest son of the Lu clan of this generation, his words naturally carry weight. Lu Chan and Lu Lu did not dare to refute verbally, but only dared to murmur in their hearts.
'What a mirror, why don't you give up the Marquis of Zhou Lu that you inherited? '
'I dare you to marry a wife and not allow us bachelors to worry? '
Hearing Lu Tai's words, Lu Pheasant smiled and nodded.
"What Lu Tai said makes sense. You two should read more books on weekdays, read more Spring and Autumn Classics, and learn more from your elder brother, so that you can truly become the pillars of my Lu family in the future."
"Remember, don't panic or get confused when something happens, but stay calm."
"The dragon lurks in the abyss, but it will rise to the nine heavens."
The words fall.
The three of them quickly saluted and said hello.
then.
Lu Pheasant glanced at the old woman who had been following him and asked lightly.
"The emperor can go to Yongxiang."
The old woman quickly bowed her body.
"Going back to the Queen Mother, early this morning, the palace staff led Your Majesty there according to the Queen Mother's decree. Counting the time, Your Majesty should have arrived at Yongxiang by now."
Hearing this, Lu Pheasant nodded, thinking of the woman in the latrine, with a look of relief in his eyes.
"The emperor's temperament is a little softer, and he is not ruthless enough to overwhelm those veterans."
"As a mother, I can only help."
At this point, Lu Fei had a helpless smile on her face, as if taking over the imperial power on behalf of the emperor was an extremely difficult thing for her.
"Thank you for your hard work, aunt."
The three Lu all smiled and saluted.
"I just don't know how the late emperor's spirit in heaven would feel if he saw the big man today."
Lu Pheasant looked at the sky and sighed.
The words fell.
Not far away, there was a palace man hunched over, walking quickly with small steps, and stopped beside Lu Pheasant to salute.
"Inform the Empress Dowager that the Marquis of Piyang will have an audience with her outside."
The moment he heard the name, Ji Boying, who had just brought people to the Changxin Palace and was in the 'invisible' state, originally planned to unlock the invisibility function, but at this moment he chose to continue to be invisible.
When Lao Zhu, Zhao Da and Li Er heard the name, their eyes subconsciously fell on Liu Bang's head, as if there were lights of different colors flickering there.
Liu Bang frowned slightly when he saw the expressions of the three people, not knowing what they meant.
Will my head glow?
