"You bitch, run slower, you're really looking for a fight!"
Luo Jing heard this voice just after he entered the palace gate and turned the corner. Then he saw a man chasing people and beating them violently. Luo Jing frowned slightly when he saw this, but he still saluted and said, "Prince."
This man was Liu Qi, the crown prince of the current dynasty, and the eldest son of the queen. Although the royal succession law of the Han Dynasty was not clearly stipulated, it was deeply influenced by the eldest son inheritance system of the Zhou Dynasty. In addition, two consecutive generations of emperors were The eldest son, thus forming this tradition. Liu Heng was an emperor who did not break political rules unless necessary, so he appointed his eldest son Liu Qi as the crown prince very early.
"Dong Ahou."
When Crown Prince Qi saw Luo Jing, he stopped chasing him, and the two of them left without saying much.
Liu Qi didn't like Luo Jing very much, because Liu Heng liked Luo Jing better than him, and he often compared the two people and scolded him for being reckless and incompetent.
Especially as the queen got older, Liu Heng's love for the queen decreased. In this regard, Liu Heng was definitely Liu Bang's grandson, and was not at all different from Liu Ying.
However, Liu Heng would never tamper with the country's foundation just because of his personal preferences. He had never thought about shaking the queen's political status. Although he was not satisfied with the crown prince's irritable character and thought it was too reckless, he didn't have much of an overall opinion, so Liu Qi's position as crown prince is still as stable as Mount Tai.
Luo Jing didn't think much about it. It's not a big problem that the crown prince has a bad temper. It's impossible for every king to be as kind and kind as Emperor Xiaohui. The current crown prince's abilities are pretty good, and he's not the kind of dim-witted person. Although he's better than He is far from the current His Majesty, but it is enough for him to be a successful king in the prosperous times.
Walking into the palace, he saw Emperor Liu Heng dealing with government affairs. Liu Heng was getting older, and some gray hair appeared on his temples due to years of hard work on state affairs. Luo Jing walked straight past and asked: " Your Majesty, I heard that the Xiongnu seem to have some strange movements, and there are riots among the southwestern barbarians and Lingnan barbarians?"
Liu Heng nodded slightly. He was an emperor who didn't like war very much.
Because every time the accounts were calculated, the cost of war was too much, and the surrounding land was of little value, so he gave up the idea of directly using war to expand the territory.
His strategy of opening up territory followed Luoxin's policy and did not engage in large-scale wars. Instead, he migrated the population and armed immigrants to control the intensity of the war within a small area.
It would be best to control the local area with the local area, just like the development of the Lingnan Kingdom. It does not consume too much resources from the central dynasty, but achieves better results.
Of course, the main reason is that Liu Heng believes that there is no enemy that can threaten the Han Dynasty. If such an enemy really appears, Liu Heng will not show mercy.
Facing Luo Jing's inquiry, Liu Heng said: "Several Xiongnu tribes seemed to have suffered a disaster, so they led some people to plunder the border, but they were repelled by the princes and kings on the border, so there was no problem.
However, the Yi riots in the southwest were more serious. The officials sent by the imperial court treated the local people harshly. Both the Yi and the Han people could not bear it, so they triggered the riots.
However, the rebels were temporarily blocked by Wuchehou of Southwest County, and now they are asking the court for help.
I have decided to send Jianghou Zhou Yafu to lead 5,000 forbidden troops to go on an expedition. At the same time, I will recruit soldiers and horses from various counties and the military and horse populations of the kingdoms along the way.
To appease the local native people and the people who migrated away, the chief culprits of the officials who were enforcing the law were killed, and the rest were all exiled. Since they are not willing to be officials in the southwest, then go to Lingnan and become slaves. "
Liu Heng's tone was very understated. He was different from Liu Ying in terms of kindness and kindness. To a certain extent, he was either black to the extreme or white.
Five thousand forbidden troops.
This number is about one-fifth of the Chang'an Forbidden Army. Even if there is an accident, it will not affect the overall situation. Moreover, the rebellion of the Southwest Yi is essentially a riot. There is no need to send so many troops out of Chang'an.
Liu Heng's cautious character was fully reflected in this matter. He put the memorial in his hand on the table and said with some emotion: "When I selected Zhou Yafu to go on the expedition, he was very excited. It seems that these heroes can't wait." Want to start a war.
But I always remember what King Luo Wen once said, no matter how strong and rich the country is, it will decline in wars that lead to no gain.
This is the reason why I have exercised restraint over the years.
Now that the world is prosperous, I can say that even among the three generations, such a prosperous age is rare.
Every household has a surplus of food. This is the result of three generations of emperors and two generations of regents. I want this prosperous age to continue. "
Each emperor had his own governing philosophy. Compared with the achievements of opening up and expanding the territory, he cared more about making the world rich and prosperous, making the people of the Han Dynasty more prosperous and comfortable, with less exorbitant taxes, less corvee and military service.
…
Liu Qi slipped out of the palace and went straight to the busiest market in Chang'an City. It was normal for a prince to have some personal hobbies. Liu Qi's favorite was playing chess, but his level was not bad, but It can't be said that he was good, but he also had a rather irritable personality, which made the palace people secretly complain every time they played chess with him, for fear that something might happen if they were not careful.
When Liu Qi arrived at Fangshi, he saw people coming and going, and it felt like a constant flow. The chess shop in Fangshi was already bustling with people. With an excited smile on his face, he waved to a few guards who were protecting him and said: "Let's go and follow Gu Gu to kill everyone."
When Liu Qi walked into the chess studio, he saw a group of people cheering loudly around a table. He looked forward with some curiosity and saw two people playing chess. One party killed the other party and was unable to resist. The most important thing is that he knows the other person, who is considered a master in this chess studio. Liu Qi looked at the person opposite and was immediately happy. It turned out to be Liu Mei, the prince of Jiaodong King.
"you lose."
Liu didn't put down the chess pieces and laughed wildly. The man left the chess table helplessly. Liu Qi sat down directly and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the crown prince to have such a hobby. Why didn't I listen to you when I came to Chang'an before? Have you ever gotten up?"
Liu Qi did not call him brother. After all, the relationship between two people with both bad tempers would not be very good. Liu Wei did not expect to see Liu Qi here. Hearing this, he said: "It's just a small skill, and it has nothing to do with governing the country." There is no benefit, and it is not worth mentioning in front of His Majesty. What does the prince mean by this, are you also good at this?"
Liu Qi heard this and said: "I just understand it a little bit, but the crown prince is willing to play a game of chess."
The two had a conflict before, and Liu Qi did not take advantage at that time. After all, the prince of the Han Dynasty knew his status before he ascended the throne. He was a tool used by the ministers to increase their reputation.
Liu Mei didn't give Liu Qi face at the time, and Liu Qi now wants to defeat Liu Mei and humiliate him severely.
This is no coincidence.
Liu Mei thought the same thing, so the two of them immediately started playing chess. The people around them didn't expect that the two people in front of them had such a big background. Although there were guards stopping them, they still gathered around and watched curiously.
The royal family of the Han Dynasty was relatively close to the people, or more down-to-earth.
Especially the people of Chang'an City, when wartime comes, they have to prepare their own weapons and follow the imperial court. Basically, the royal family sends officials to express condolences every year. In addition, the Holy Emperor has always been kind to the people when he is in power, so they are not afraid. Liu Qi and Liu Mo were such royal children.
Liu Qi and Liu did not have the same thoughts, and then they began to strangle each other on the chessboard. Both of them were very serious, and they had to think about every move of chess, especially after they gradually fell into a stalemate, and the people around them even Started to hold my breath.
The two of them were really matched up in chess, their skills were roughly the same, they played quite well, and even their faces turned red.
After a few more chess moves, Liu Qi felt a thump in his heart. He secretly thought that something was not good. He made a mistake in a key move. Liu did not seize the flaw decisively and started a mass killing. Liu Qi was completely at a disadvantage. With two people When the level of competition has reached this level, it can be said that the defeat has been decided.
Liu Qi was angry and very dissatisfied, and then he heard Liu Mo's swishy voice, "Prince, you are going to lose this game of chess. I suggest you just admit defeat, otherwise you will lose too much in a short while." It’s ugly, isn’t it an unbeautiful thing?”
After saying this, he laughed loudly. To Liu Qi's ears, these words were a naked mockery of him. Liu Qi originally thought that it was his negligence rather than poor chess skills that led to the current situation. He had a bad temper and saw Liu Qi. A mere prince of a prince dared to mock him. He had already been on top after playing for so long. At this situation, he suddenly became so angry that he picked up the chessboard and smashed it at Liu Mo's head.
"ah!"
The chessboards in this chess studio were all made of iron. It was like a hammer hitting them directly. Liu Mei's face was full of horror. He just screamed and lost his breath. This sudden change Everyone was shocked immediately. They never expected that the two people who were playing chess just now would disappear in an instant.
"Uh-huh."
At this moment, everyone who had been around dispersed. The guard responsible for protecting Liu Mei was dumbfounded. The figure of a young man in brocade clothes was revealed, pointing at Liu Qi and saying sadly: "In broad daylight, You dare to kill the Crown Prince directly. Even if you are the Crown Prince, I will definitely go to His Majesty to take a copy of your book to see if there is any royal law left in this great Han Dynasty!"
Liu Qi killed Liu Mei with a chessboard, and he was feeling very happy. When he heard the pretty boy talking, he immediately threw the chessboard in his hand and hit the man in the face. The young man had a look of shock on his face, and he also died on the chessboard. Down.
The guards who had been dazed before reacted, but with the prince opposite them, they did not dare to do anything. They could only watch Liu Qi lead the palace guards away.
