The final results of the same incident under different circumstances are completely different. In today's world, Liu Qi killed two Tianhuang nobles who were not at fault, one was his clan brother, and the other was Qi Gong. This is completely intolerable for a rather special aristocratic young master.
Just as Jia Yi said, the death of a rabbit is like a fox's sorrow. Clan relatives, relatives, princes, officials, students, etc. cannot tolerate such vicious incidents. Although the royal family is noble, they must not kill people without reason.
The biggest difference between this world and the real world, apart from the existence of Luo Shi, is probably the different underlying background of thoughts. This is the most precious thing.
The concept of righteousness and interests between the monarch and his ministers, as well as the idea of restraining the power of the monarch, which the Luo family has always promoted, has long been deeply implanted in the subconscious of the people of the Xia Dynasty and has become a subtle existence. In addition, Luo Ling took advantage of the general trend of the world to practice law, and From a practical level, it has dealt a major blow to the idea that I am the country.
Although the idea of reciprocity has not yet penetrated into the bottom, there is actually a consensus within the powerful class. Even the emperor cannot kill a noble or official at will without any basis.
We are not slaves for you to whip at will, but ministers who help you govern the world and should be respected.
No normal person in this world wants to be a dog. Although Meng Ru's thoughts are rarely talked about by ministers on the surface, they can really speak into the hearts of ministers. Who doesn't like it except the monarch?
He didn't usually show it, but the Liu Qi incident was like poking a hornet's nest and became an outlet for countless people to vent. Especially the emperor asked the prime minister to test his words. Many people thought that this was the emperor asking for opinions, and naturally they dared to speak out. .
"The princes, princes, and princes of Qi were randomly beaten and killed like wild dogs on the roadside, so who are we?
This is really intolerable. If we don’t speak up today, when the sword comes against us tomorrow, will anyone still speak up for us? "
Those passionate students in Taixue, no matter which school they belong to, are filled with indignation when faced with such things.
Liu Qi has been a prince for so many years and naturally has a large number of supporters. The power of the princelings cannot be underestimated, but how can a small group of people stop the general trend of the world?
Not to mention that there are people who want to drag Liu Qi into trouble and secretly connect and guide him. If there are princelings, there will be people who oppose the prince. This is the natural principle of politics.
Countless memorials have flooded Changle Palace. If bamboo slips are still used today, there may not even be a place for Liu Heng.
No one in these memorials proposed to depose the prince, but they all requested severe punishment from the emperor. With so many ministers writing together, the foundation of the prince has been completely destroyed, and it is impossible for him to ascend to the throne again, unless Liu Heng clears out the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty. , but instead of doing that, it would be better to replace the prince directly.
It was the first time Liu Heng had seen such grief and anger since he came to power. Although he had a hint of it, it still shocked him. He said to Luo Jing: "The world is in chaos. This is the first time I have seen such a scene. Just like a mighty river, Mount Tai is so majestic that it cannot be stopped by human power."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jing immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, I would like to congratulate you on this matter!
In the world, there must be a sage monarch first, and only then can there be virtuous ministers. If there is no sage monarch, even a virtuous minister like Wenxuan Ergong will not be able to make achievements when meeting a monarch like Youli.
In the past, Prince Li was so unpopular in Haojing City that he even arrested all the people who spoke ill of him. His words of defense against the people were even more severe than the destruction of mountains and rivers, so the people destroyed his brutal rule.
Now the ministers dare to advise you, and even dare to point out their faults to the crown prince. Isn't this because they know that you are a wise monarch?
It is for this reason that I congratulate you. There are countless capable ministers under your rule. Under your leadership, you have created the current achievements and will create greater achievements in the future.
The merits of the Holy King were thus obtained. "
Liu Heng calmed down and understood more and more what King Luo Wen said. The more turbulent the world is, the more the emperor must be correct.
Liu Heng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "A Jing, come and draft the decree to summon King Liang back to the capital."
boom!
As Liu Heng said these words, the entire hall fell silent. Even the maids and eunuchs lowered their heads. Everyone understood the meaning of this sentence.
Liang Wang Liu Che!
The younger brother of Crown Prince Qi Yi's mother, in order to stabilize Crown Prince Qi's position, he was sent directly to join the feudal vassal from Chang'an to guard the Xingyang defense line.
If Liu Qi's position as crown prince is to be abolished, then Liang Wang Liu Che should be extremely top candidate to replace him. After all, he is the undisputed second son.
Unless Liu Heng is willing to cause trouble and choose sons who are more favored by him.
Luo Jing didn't care who became the emperor, he immediately bowed and said: "I obey, Your Majesty."
…
In the Queen's Hall of Changle Palace.
The queen looked at Liu Qi in front of her with a face full of hatred, and lamented: "You are not favored by His Majesty to begin with, and now you do such a thing, how can I help you?"
Liu Qi's face was full of tears and he sobbed: "Mother, the child has realized his mistake. The father does not want to see the child. He has been turned away after many attempts to see the child. Now the only one the child can rely on is you.
If you are not willing to speak up for your child, your child's position as crown prince will definitely not be preserved. By then, I am afraid that the relationship between you and me as mother and child will only continue in the next life. "
After she finished speaking, she cried a few more times, and the queen's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Although she liked her younger son Prince Liang more, she even wanted Prince Liang to be the crown prince and even the future emperor.
But it is not that he has no feelings for Liu Qi. If the price of Liang Wang's becoming emperor is Liu Qi's death, then it would be better for Liu Qi to become emperor.
Now that she heard Liu Qi's words, the queen immediately hesitated and thought about going to Changle Palace to intercede with the emperor for the prince.
Then a person she never expected came to her palace. It was the palace servant of Weiyang Palace who was serving the Queen Mother Zhang Yan. He conveyed to her the Queen Mother's decree, or a warning: "The Queen has good moral character and has always acted in the same way." The country and the country are the most important, and I will give you nine beautiful jade pieces to commend your virtuousness."
When the queen heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and she understood that she was not allowed to go to the emperor to plead for mercy. She had to put the country and the country first, and the prince's position first.
This fluttering decree directly destroyed all the queen's thoughts. In the Han Dynasty, which ruled the world with filial piety, the queen mother's status was so high that she could almost stand alongside the emperor as the second monarch.
Luo Xin's greatest kindness to Liu Heng was that he completely returned the emperor's power and did not let the Queen Mother regent. Before his death, he asked Zhang Yan to give up interfering with Liu Heng's rule.
Therefore, Zhang Yan does not hold the supreme power of the empire like Lu Pheasant. Even the emperor must bow his head if he says the same thing.
But this does not mean that Zhang Yan has no ability and power. She is the Queen Mother and still occupies the top of patriarchal clan, national law and social morality.
Liu Qi was stunned on the spot. He didn't expect that things would reach this point. He was just a prince and prince. Even the Queen Mother spoke directly because she was so desperate in her heart that she even made a sadder expression. Not out.
At this time, another palace maid hurriedly walked in, came to the queen's side and whispered: "Mistress, your majesty ordered Dong'ahou to issue an order to summon the king back to Chang'an."
All the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty could be called kings.
But in the Queen's Palace, there is only one person who can call the king without talking about the throne, and that is Liang Wang Liu Che.
If she usually knew that her favorite son, Prince Liang, could return to Chang'an, the queen would definitely be overjoyed. But now that she knew that Prince Liang was coming back, the queen felt that her eyes were going dark. Of course she knew what Prince Liang was coming back for.
The emperor really wanted to change the prince, and the queen couldn't help but glance at the prince kneeling on the ground, her eyes full of sadness.
She only has two sons, but are they going to kill each other because of the throne?
The queen said sadly: "What kind of misfortune has happened to a person who has lived to this age? Did I commit some sin and was punished by God?"
Naturally, the outside world does not know these things in the Queen's Palace.
A column of heavily armed messengers rushed out of Chang'an with letters. They were several people and horses, traveling lightly, and rushed out of Chang'an City at lightning speed, attracting the attention of countless people.
Then the content of the imperial edict spread throughout Chang'an City. The city seemed to have pressed the pause button for an instant, and the next moment there was an even more noisy uproar. Countless people were running to tell each other that when King Liang returned to the capital, even if An ordinary person also knew that the emperor wanted to change the prince.
The emperor actually complied with the public opinion and wanted to change the prince. Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, this was the first prince who might be deposed. He lost his future position as emperor because he killed the prince prince and the prince of Qi.
The subordinates of the Crown Prince of Jiaodong and the Young Master of Qi knew the news and immediately knelt in the courtyard and knelt down in worship. Although the Crown Prince and the Young Master could not come back from the dead, at least the murderer paid a heavy price and could return to the country. Give the Lord an explanation.
After people like him commit suicide, at least the clan members will not be affected again.
Yes.
These people knew very well that from the moment the lord was killed by the chessboard of Crown Prince Keiichi, they and they would not survive.
To die in battle and for one's country was the moral trend of the Warring States Period.
Based on the moral customs inherited from that era in the Han Dynasty today, if the ministers failed to fulfill their duty of protection, resulting in the murder of the lord, this would be a stab in the spine, and he would not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
The only way to restore one's reputation is to commit suicide and die for the Lord, or to avenge the Lord first and then die for the Lord like they did.
The turmoil in Chang'an City intensified. Countless people praised Emperor Liu Heng for his unparalleled sage. The imperial messenger had already arrived in Liang Kingdom with the imperial edict.
Asking for a monthly ticket!
