Liu Dan's blatant rejection of the princes' letter instantly caused the princes to fall into silence. This was an unimagined ending.
"Your Majesty, how could he refuse?"
"This is all about the country and the country."
"Does the emperor really not care about the Han Dynasty?"
Questions appeared in everyone's minds, and the princes thought for ten days and nights but still couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking.
"The emperor wants to arrest some county guards. Once they are taken back to Chang'an, they will definitely be in trouble."
While the imperial envoy was still on the way, the news quickly spread to Shandong, causing a wave of shocking waves.
"How dare the emperor?
How could the emperor?
How can loyal people kill at will? "
The princes said tremblingly, including fear, fear, and confusion about the future.
The previous letter was just and outspoken. Now the emperor has given his own opinion. If he doesn't accept it, should he continue to insist on it?
That's the emperor!
Countless people are questioning their hearts. Some people are beginning to waver and want to surrender, but more people are becoming more determined. They used to speak uprightly, but now they have completely turned into confrontation. With the emperor's character, once he surrenders, he will face It is definitely death, and countless voices are heard from all directions. Those voices are very high: "Hold on and submit the letter again!"
Write another book!
But one can do two, but not three!
When the imperial envoys arrived in Shandong, they saw no sign of the county guards at all. Only the seals in the county guards' mansion were left. These people actually hung up their seals and left. Naturally, their families had already left.
The envoy was furious and immediately ordered a hunt, but these county guards had already arrived in the princely states of various princes.
Although the Han Dynasty has not yet formed a complete internal and external dynasty system, according to political theory, the closer to the center of power, the greater the power.
As the emperor's eunuchs, a few casual words from these people can even determine the life or death of an official. Sometimes even Jiuqing doesn't take them seriously, and even the prime minister, prince and queen dare to frame him, not to mention some in power. In their eyes, they saw a great hero who had long since lost his power.
The envoys from the imperial court found out that a county guard was hidden in the Anyang Kingdom, so they came to ask for him.
The leading eunuch said to Hanlin, the Marquis of Anyang, quite arrogantly: "I have come to arrest the criminals under the order of His Majesty the Emperor. Does the Marquis of Anyang want to stop the emperor's order?
It's better to hand over the criminal quickly so that I can reply to the emperor's order as soon as possible. Otherwise, if I have to interfere with you in front of His Majesty, I don't know what the result will be. "
Seeing how a eunuch dared to be so arrogant, Han Linhan said: "It's just a dog, how dare you bark in front of me?
For the sake of Your Majesty, I will forgive you this time, but get out of here immediately! "
This angered the eunuch, his eyes were full of resentment, he pointed at Han Lin and screamed: "You despicable person, how dare you humiliate me like this, you must make your life worse than death, your Anyang Kingdom is over!"
When Han Lin heard this, his eyes gleamed with coldness, he waved his hand gently and said: "I don't know what will happen to me in the future, but you will not survive tomorrow.
Kill them all and feed them to the fish! "
…
The envoys were not only here in Han Lin, but also in other directions. Most of them died, and the rest fled back to Guanzhong in a hurry after hearing the news.
Rumors swept the world like the wind.
"I heard that the imperial envoys encountered heavy rains and landslides when passing through the Taihang Mountains, and they were all buried in the mountains."
"The envoys going to Huaisi were said to have broken down their boat while crossing the river and it sank."
"..."
"There are also those who were beaten and killed by the refugees. It is said that they encountered a team of refugees with armored soldiers, and the dozens of forbidden soldiers who accompanied them died. Now the refugees are getting stronger and stronger."
Countless rumors are circulating among the people, but there is no evidence.
The dignitaries remained silent. Not every prince dared to take action like Anyang Hou Hanlin.
Now, both the princes of Guandong and the dignitaries of Chang'an are beating drums in their hearts. Among the envoys going to Guandong, there must be some culprits from the princes, but probably at most half.
The other half should have really encountered refugees. The problem in Kanto is really serious.
The princes of Guandong took this opportunity to write again, saying that the refugees in Guandong had grown to the point where they dared to intercept and kill the imperial envoys, and asked the emperor to issue an edict.
Chang'an dignitaries speculated that it might have been directed and acted by the founding princes, and the eunuchs also kept silently applying eye drops in Liu Dan's ears.
Since ancient times, there have been few people who can constantly withstand the verbal instigation of those around them.
Slander is not a simple conspiracy. To a certain extent, slander is a conspiracy.
Because even if the emperor didn't believe it and even killed the treacherous person who made the slander, those remarks had already entered the emperor's ears and left traces in his heart. As long as the emperor felt bad for a moment, the slander was considered successful. .
Liu Dan's violent and irritable character has been completely controlled by the people around him, so there are these unscrupulous people who dare to use eye drops.
After experiencing the confrontation over the envoy incident, Liu Dan broke out completely and issued a fierce decree without any evidence.
“Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there have never been rebellious ministers like you.
Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has never been a minister who dared to kill the imperial envoy.
Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, all princes and kings who resisted the imperial court were beheaded.
Do you think you can be alone?
The heavenly soldiers of the Han Dynasty wiped out the Yi Di in all directions and defeated the powerful Xiongnu. Some small princes also dared to jump in.
Come to Chang'an to apologize and pray for my forgiveness. This is the only thing you can do. "
…
Liu Dan would not know that his sealing edict was like a handful of firewood, completely igniting the fire in Guandong.
It is not the anger in the hearts of a few princes, but the anger in the hearts of countless people in Guandong.
If the princes, kings and princes after Tuien unite, they will indeed be unable to shake the central court.
But the people of the world can!
Because the people are the world, the foundation of governance, and the foundation of all economies.
The downfall of a dynasty is always due to the resistance of the people. Ordinary people may not have the power to overthrow the court, but they are enough to destroy the foundation of the survival of all dynasties.
The hearts of the refugees in Guandong were filled with endless anger. The princes had a broad base here. Letters and replies to the emperor were circulated east of Luoyang. The princes in those letters were too bright, and the emperor was too honest. It is too cruel and unethical.
The emperor won't let us live!
Every injustice has a creditor, and now the displaced people have found this creditor, and the anger in their hearts is uncontrollable.
When the first person shouted the slogan "Kill the dictators and eradicate tyranny", the voices of resistance could no longer be suppressed, rising one after another like an endless wave.
"So that's it!"
At this time, Luo Sheng finally understood what his father said. A swordfight between the two sides was almost inevitable.
What’s even more frightening is that the alliance between princes should be a very troublesome thing. Just trusting each other is a big problem. Since ancient times, the alliance between local princes to fight against the imperial court has always been destroyed because of their respective conflicts. They have evil intentions and no unified consciousness.
But this problem was solved by the brother and sister Lu Chan and Lu Ying. Countless princes stamped their seals on the previous petition. The emperor's edicts became more and more fierce, completely forcing everyone to come together.
The fastest way to unite people with different opinions is to find an extremely powerful enemy.
…
A ranking lord sat together with a gloomy face, and a series of voices rang out.
"Everyone, the situation has reached this point, and there is only one way left."
"I will never stand by and watch the Han Dynasty collapse in my generation. I once swore an oath under the throne of Emperor Xiaowu."
"We are the subjects of the Han Dynasty and the nobles of Emperor Gao. We have enjoyed a hundred years of wealth and received great grace. How can we sit back and watch someone bring trouble to the world without stopping it?"
"The people are already very angry. Their anger will burn everything out. If they don't vent it out, the entire Han Dynasty will be destroyed, just like the violent Qin Dynasty."
"The achievements of Emperor Gao, the grace of Emperor Xiaohui and Emperor Xiaowen, the great cause of Emperor Xiaowu, and the ancestral temple of our ancestors will all be destroyed in his hands. I hate it!"
Some people even couldn't help crying, as if they were infected by the atmosphere, everyone shed tears slightly.
"Tianhan!"
"Yinhan!"
"We will never fall here. The hearts of the people of the world are in Han. The kindness of Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaowu is still in the hearts of the people. We can cheer up the world!"
Needless to say, Liu Heng's popularity was great. Liu Che loved spreading money and was exempted from taxes. He was like a father in the hearts of people all over the world.
"A single husband!"
Everyone was silent. These two words had different meanings. Once they were spoken, the whole world would punish them.
There was almost only silence for a moment, and then the noisy voice resounded through the palace. It was not just the people who had been holding it in for too long, but also these people!
"A single husband!"
Everyone shouted in unison, which was a characterization of this matter. Moreover, everyone believed that their actions were just. We were all for the country of Han Dynasty. Even if Emperor Gao was resurrected, we would still praise our actions.
"Follow the teachings of Emperor Suwang and put an end to the troubled times of independent men and thieves!"
Lu Chan stood up. He had never been so wanton in his life, and said loudly: "Write down the crimes of a single man, just like King Wu of Zhou did against Shang Zhou, and call on the people of the world."
His voice seemed to shake the sky. Ying Houlos was the first to stand up and said loudly: "Cai!"
"color!"
The whole hall shouted in unison!
————
In the autumn of the fourteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the invasion became more urgent, the civil uprising in Guandong became more intense, and the state was in danger of overthrowing. The princes drew their swords and looked around, saying: "King Su has a saying: Those who commit crimes against benevolence are called thieves; those who commit crimes against justice are called cripples. A person who is a remnant of thieves is called a husband.
One husband, a member of Jie and Zhou, a powerful and powerful generation, the Han family was overthrown, that is, they were thieves.
We, the old descendants of the Han Dynasty, the princes and noble sons, are in peace with Heaven, right now! "
The princes then joined forces to move westward and stir up the world. The emperor set up the princes and what he has done today. ——"Historical Records: Chronology of Meritorious Marquises since the rise of Han Dynasty"
What the experienced author said is indeed true. I have a poor mentality and can only write a good book without reading reviews or data. Writing these days is really fun.
