Liang Palace.
A man with a rather heroic appearance was pacing the palace with excitement on his face. This man was naturally the King of Liang, Liu Che.
Although the messenger from the imperial court has not yet arrived, the news has already spread to the Liang Kingdom. The Prince of Liang, Taifu, hurried in from outside and said with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, the angel from the imperial court has arrived."
Liu Cheqiang suppressed his ecstasy and went to meet the court envoy. When the court envoy saw Liu Che coming out, he bowed and saluted, giving Liu Che enough face, and then announced the decree to Liu Che. Everyone with a discerning eye knew that after the prince was replaced this time, as long as the prince was Without a catastrophic death, it is impossible for the court to change again.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty and the Queen miss you very much. Please leave for Chang'an as soon as possible."
"Thank you, envoy. I also miss my father and mother, so I will leave for Chang'an."
The carriage that had been prepared long ago drove out, and in accordance with the imperial edict, Liu Che led a large number of people to Chang'an.
On top of the carriage.
Liu Che could no longer restrain the excitement in his expression. He raised the curtains and looked at the scenery on both sides that kept coming back. He said excitedly: "This time, the sky and the earth are vast, like a dragon entering the sea, like a blue sky on a roc, no more There is nothing that can bind me."
The Prince of Liang was equally excited. He never expected that, by accident, he would be transformed from the Prince of Princes to the Crown Prince. It could be said that he would reach the sky in one step.
The opportunities in life are so wonderful. No one can know what the future will be like until we reach that point.
However, after all, he had been crazy for many years. When he saw Liu Che who was beaming with joy, he persuaded him: "Your Majesty, although we all know why your Majesty ordered you to come to Beijing, but after all, the order has not been made clear. If it is because of some carelessness now, By delaying important matters, wouldn’t it mean that we are living up to God’s gift?
Crown Prince Qi suffered such a disaster because of his arrogance. I hope you can take this as a warning. No matter how impatient you were in the kingdom in the past, you should be more restrained in Chang'an City. "
Liu Qi's character is more violent, while Liu Che's character is similar to Liu Qize's, but also different.
Liu Che has an equally violent personality and likes to be arbitrary. He is a quite independent monarch, but he is also very tolerant in some aspects and would never do anything like smashing someone to death with a chessboard in front of them.
Liu Che nodded when he heard this, indicating that he understood.
When Liang Guo's convoy entered Chang'an City, everyone from the noble officials to the common people were paying attention to Liu Che, the future prince of the Han Dynasty, who took over from his elder brother.
At this point, it has almost become a foregone conclusion that King Liang will take over the position of crown prince.
Unless Duke Zhao, who has been sitting in Zhaocheng, suddenly expresses his support for Prince Qi.
But people in the world would rather believe that the Luo family would become king than believe that the Zhao family would support Crown Prince Qi.
This kind of unsuspicious thing simply cannot arouse everyone's interest. Now, what everyone is paying attention to is Liu Qi's ending.
Can this kind of first deposed prince of the Han Dynasty survive?
The turmoil among the people could not affect the deep palace city. Liu Che entered the palace and met the Queen Mother Zhang Yan first according to the order.
Liu Che's deepest impression of this grandmother was that she was quiet, barely speaking, and just being a queen mother by the rules. However, this incident made him realize the power of this old man, a power that could even shake the emperor.
Zhang Yan looked at Liu Che, who was lowering his head in front of her, and laughed softly: "I know that you are better than your brother. After you become the prince, don't imitate your brother. Don't let so many people down." expectations.”
Even though Liu Heng did not issue the decree, Zhang Yan still treated Liu Che as the prince here. Liu Che quickly said after hearing this: "My grandson will remember what the emperor's grandmother said, and he will definitely live up to the expectations of you and the people of the world. .”
Zhang Yan added: "I'm going to see your queen mother later. Your queen mother is the queen personally selected by King Luo Wen for the emperor. She is a discerning and virtuous woman.
The only shortcoming is that she is too confused about the heirs, and like ordinary peasant women, she is a little unclear. After you arrive at Changle Palace, no matter what your mother says, you just have to say that I will make the decision. "
Liu Che's heart sank, and he probably knew what the Queen Mother was worried about. He bowed again and said: "Grandmother, if your grandson knows this, he will definitely put the country first."
Zhang Yan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Go ahead."
Liu Che turned around and left. Zhang Yan looked at Liu Che with a deep look in her eyes and murmured softly: "Make the river like a belt, make Mount Tai as strong as a river, make the country peaceful and love the Miao descendants. No matter how good the promise is, it still depends on the emperor's intention, grandfather." , my granddaughter has done her best for the family."
Of course Liu Che didn't know these things. He did feel grateful to the imperial grandmother whom he rarely saw. Then this good mood was ruined by his mother.
Liu Che and the Queen have a very good relationship. After all, Liu Che has been the more favored one since he was a child. However, it is impossible to give up the throne, and Liu Che cannot do anything unfilial. He can only follow the Queen's words. Fortunately, the Queen still has a heart. Keeping in mind what the Queen Mother had said before, she did not say anything to stop Liu Che from accepting the position of crown prince. Otherwise, there might really be a rift between mother and son because of this matter.
The queen hoped that Liu Che could take good care of Liu Qi in the future. The implication was that she hoped that Liu Che could save Liu Qi's life. This made Liu Che very unhappy and said: "Mother, the emperor brother and the baby are from the same mother. Could it be that the baby is in your care?" Do you think you are a person who does not care about brotherly feelings for the sake of power?"
The queen was very happy to see Liu Che's promise. Liu Che left the palace where the queen lived and walked out of the hall. Liu Che's eyes were a little dazed. He had just deceived his mother.
How can the deposed prince live in this world?
That is irresponsible to everyone, and is even harmful to the country and the world.
The subjects of the deposed prince can be forgiven as long as there are no major problems, but as the core of everything, they cannot retreat after embarking on this road.
At that time, Xiang Yu had made great contributions to the world, but once he was defeated, he could only send his descendants to Zhaocheng with the help of his old love, but he could not leave.
How could Liu Qihe De escape unscathed?
But Liu Che didn't know how to take action. He knew that he didn't have to take action. He knew that his imperial brother was very similar to him in some aspects, and both were people with strong self-esteem.
How could such a person live in such a humble and ridiculous way in the world?
They would rather die a heroic death than live an uneasy life. This is the pride of people like them.
Liu Che walked into the Changle Palace with complicated thoughts. The first thing he saw was his father, the emperor who was called the Holy King of the world. From the shores of the East China Sea to the green mountains of the West, from the foot of the Great Wall in the far north to the vast Lingnan, the whole land of Xia is praising his name. This scene is just like King Luowen in the past.
Probably only King Su, the supreme god who is praised every moment, can surpass him.
Sitting on the left and right were Dong Ahou Luo Jing, the head of the Wenzong of the world, and also his father's most trusted minister. Liu Che knew very well that in his father's heart, Dong Ahou's status far exceeded that of any other prince, and he wanted to stabilize his position in the future. , it is essential to make good friends with Dong Ahou.
The other person is Prime Minister Jia Yi, a man of great talent known all over the world. He has held the power of prime minister for more than ten years and has never made any mistakes. He is also the main force in deposing the prince this time and is the first among the officials to make a suggestion.
"Child, when you see your father, may your father be safe and may your father be blessed!"
Liu Che put away the complicated thoughts in his heart and bowed respectfully to his father. Liu Heng looked at Liu Che who was lowering his head with a complicated look in his eyes. Is this the new prince?
Liu Heng didn't like Liu Qi very much, and believed that his talent was far inferior to his own.
But Liu Heng admitted that there was no problem for Liu Qi to become a qualified monarch, which was very consistent with Liu Heng's thoughts on future heirs.
But these plans completely collapsed when the chessboard was smashed down. Even in a hurry, the prince had to change. So how does Liu Che compare with Liu Qilai?
Liu Heng didn't know.
He knew too little about his son.
But at this moment, it was like an arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Liu Heng asked loudly: "Prince Liang, I have one question for you, if you were the emperor, how would you govern?"
Liu Che was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect the emperor to ask him this directly. He immediately bowed and said: "My father was in his prime years, why did he say this? Why did he say this?"
Liu Heng added: "I ask you, you can just answer. Tell me what you are thinking. I can tell whether what you say is true or false. Don't lie."
Liu Che was thinking about whether to really express his thoughts. Luo Jing didn't want to cause any more twists and turns, so he reminded him directly: "Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want. Your Majesty is wise and magnanimous, and can tolerate what the world cannot tolerate."
After Liu Che heard this, he mustered up the courage to speak out his thoughts one by one. He was a truly genius emperor who had his own ideas about the world. Even though some ideas required the help of extremely talented people to succeed, that is, the conditions were relatively harsh. , but this is still where his ability and courage lie.
Some of these ideas were different from Liu Heng's policies. Liu Heng listened quietly. He didn't care about these policies. He wanted to find the core of Liu Che from these words.
"You are the king!"
Liu Heng sighed.
Luo Jing and Jia Yi walked out of the palace door, looked at each other, and suddenly started laughing.
"Isn't this the emperor who was blessed by King Su to all Xia?"
————
Emperor Xiaowu was the second son of Xiaowen, and the younger brother of Prince Qi. In the twenty-seventh year of Xiaowen's reign, he took the title of Prince of Liang.
In the 40th year of Xiaowen's reign, the prince Qi was enthroned and killed the prince of Jiaodong and the prince of Qi. The ministers were angry and the world was shocked. Down."
Xiaowen said: "The prince provokes violence lightly and cannot rule the world, so he should be abolished. The king of Liang is a man of civility and martial arts. He is both virtuous and good at calling. He is also the Qilin son of the Shizong family. He should be the prince, inherit the imperial business, inform the world, and give instructions."
Then he deposed the crown prince and made him the king of Jiujiang, and made the king of Liang the crown prince. ——"Book of Han·The Benji of Xiaowu"
