Don't dare to break with the king [Han Wu Kuai Chuan]

Liu Chengcheng smiled at Wei Bao: "Cousin, long time no see."

Wei Bao, no, now it should be said that Huo Qubing walked over and touched Liu Ju's head, and called out with some thoughts: "Ju'er..."

When he passed away in his previous life, Liu Zheng was only 11 years old, and Wei Bao was only slightly older than when he died. Now, although they are in different bodies and facing an unfamiliar face, it seems like yesterday.

"I didn't expect that we would meet again." Huo Qubing sighed.

Compared with Huo Qubing, Liu Ju obviously experienced more, he replied: "I think this is probably Gongsunqing's handwriting."

"Who is Gongsunqing?"

Liu Ju realized that Huo Qubing had never met Gongsunqing: "A person who claims to be able to see gods."

"Although I don't know what happened, but we have all come to this era, there should be something to do." Huo Qubing handed over Liu Jin's letter, "You are in a hurry to go to Chang'an, so you should have recognized the letter on it. handwriting?"

Liu Ju nodded: "Although I have never met this emperor, his handwriting is exactly the same as my father's. Therefore, I want to go to Chang'an to meet that person. If he is really my father, I should be able to find out."

"It's too dangerous for you to go to Chang'an alone." Huo Qubing said, "I'll rush over to join you as soon as I arrange the defense of Zhongshan Kingdom."

"I'm not a child anymore." Liu Ju smiled embarrassedly, "Cousin, don't worry, I'll be a grandfather later, and I can take good care of myself."

Huo Qubing suddenly fell silent for a moment. He thought of the historical records he had read about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years after wearing Wei Bao, so he naturally knew what happened to Liu Ju.

He waved his fist: "If Liu Jin is really His Majesty, how about I beat you up to vent your anger after I find him?"

Liu Ju quickly waved his hand: "Everything is over, I have nothing to vent my anger on. Anyway, the world of this big man has returned to my grandson."

"You good grandson's great-grandson is about to bury the world to Wang Mang." Huo Qubing sighed, "We're here anyway, why don't you help him?"

Naturally, Wang Mang also kept a watchful eye in Zhongshan. In order not to be discovered, Liu Ju left the palace overnight under the escort of Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing sent him [-] elite guards, and he would have given him another [-] Several soldiers were waiting outside Chang'an City, but Liu Ju refused.

"I don't know if Wang Mang will send troops to attack Zhongshan. You should save this force first. I will sneak into Chang'an with Kong Guang as cover. There are fewer people and it will not be easy to attract attention."

It was only then that Huo Qubing sent Liu Ju away in the carriage with some anxiety.

In Weiyang Palace, Liu Che was sitting in the pavilion, playing with the carp in the lotus pond, while listening to his new confidant Xiao Huangmen report the news outside the palace to him.

"I heard that Duke An Han has collected evidence of treason by His Majesty's mother's family, and will make it public at tomorrow's court meeting. Once the imperial edict is issued, His Majesty may not be able to undo it."

"I couldn't get it back." Liu Che sneered, "Is there any news from Kong Guang? Has the letter been sent to Zhongshan?"

"There is news from Taifu's mansion that Zhongshan has already known about it. It is said that King Zhongshan secretly came to Beijing to meet the saint. Not surprisingly, he arrived in Chang'an in the past few days."

"Oh? What is he here for?" Liu Che wondered. He thought that Zhongshan Guowei's family had received news and was about to pack up and run away. He didn't expect someone to come to the capital.

"I don't know, either." Xiao Huangmen was just a whistleblower, so he couldn't figure out the details.

"It's interesting." Liu Che threw a stone on the surface of the lake not far away, causing ripples, "The stagnant water in Chang'an City should be stirred."

"Your Majesty is wise." Xiao Huangmen praised quickly.

"You are always good at making me happy." Liu Che's eyes fell on the looming eaves in the green shade in the distance, "There was a man who was more good at making me happy than you when he was young. Later, when he grew up, he didn't care about me. I was so sweet when I was a child..."

Xiao Huangmen was confused when he heard this, thinking that the little emperor in front of him was a few years younger than himself, how to say it was so old-fashioned, all the "childhood" and "growth" came out, this is the child His Majesty has seen , is it far from growing up now?

Seeing his confused face, Liu Che laughed loudly: "He would be stupefied at that time, but you look a little similar now, I don't know where he is, I really want to see him."

"Whoever your majesty wants to see, I will go out of the palace to look for it." Xiao Huangmen has been out of the palace frequently to inquire about Liu Che's news recently, and immediately expressed his willingness to solve the emperor's worries and problems.

"The sea of ​​people is vast, and if you don't make any noise, where can you find him?" Liu Che asked, "I asked you to write about Qiu Feng Ci in my new handwriting in the restaurants with the most customers in Dongxi City." Is it done?"

It turned out that after Liu Che sent the letter to Wei's family, he wrote the Song of the Autumn Wind on silk, and asked Xiaohuangmen to find someone to write it on the white wall of the restaurant according to this handwriting.Xiaohuangmen naturally went to do it loyally, and said to the outside world that the emperor occasionally practiced the works of Emperor Xiaowu, and had fun with the people.

"Reporting to His Majesty, everything has been done."

"Okay." Liu Che handed a bamboo tube to Xiao Huangmen, "This is my new authentic handwriting, if anyone comes to ask, show this to the other party."

Regarding the sudden matter of the emperor who had lived in the deep palace for a long time and never showed up except for court meetings, there was a lot of discussion between the ruling and opposition parties.

Some guessed that the emperor used Emperor Xiaowu to demonstrate to Wang Mang, some thought that the emperor lamented that he was unable to do anything in the deep palace, and some thought that the emperor just followed Kong Guang's book recently.

Even Wang Mang was wary of Liu Che's behavior. During the lunch, he said a few words, but was stopped by Liu Che: "I am studying the works of the emperor recently. In a few days, I will write another song of Huang Hu and send it to Duke An Han."

"Huang Huge" is a song written by Emperor Han Zhao when he was eight years old. Liu Che also used this to show his weakness and dispel Wang Mang's doubts.

Regarding this, Wang Mang returned to the mansion and sighed to his confidant: "This little emperor has a seven-apertured exquisite heart. I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with his wings in the future." He did not take other measures. He lost his wings, but for the emperor, he still had to keep them for himself to show off.

Sure enough, the next day when he listed several crimes of the Zhongshanwei family in front of the ministers, the emperor sitting on the throne only had a sad expression and did not stop Wang Mang.

After symbolic discussions among several confidant ministers under Wang Mang, it was quickly decided that the whole family of Wei's family would be slaughtered, and only Wei Ji would be exiled to Hepu.Then Wang Mang wept hypocritically and asked Liu Che to make a decision.

"I can't bear to deal with it..." Liu Che showed his superb acting skills, and looked at Wang Mang as if begging, "Ask Mr. An Han, is there room for change at this time?"

"Your Majesty~~~~" Wang Mang said hypocritically with a long voice, "I am also very sad for Your Majesty, but the ancestors have their own laws. This matter is related to His Majesty's own mother, so Mang dare not speak nonsense. If Your Majesty cannot make a decision, I will wait for you." May the Queen Mother."

Because the Son of Heaven was young, and there were occasional major events, the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun also came to the court together, and the imperial edict could be issued through the Empress Dowager.

Wang Zhengjun is already very old and fatuous. Wang Mang usually knows how to please her, so she almost acquiesces in Wang Mang's behavior. As for Wei Ji, because Emperor Ai reused Ding and Fu from his biological mother's line before, Wang Zhengjun Jun and Wang Mang are in the same position, and they don't want the current emperor to reuse Wei Ji's family again.

Therefore, when the ministers falsely accused Wei Ji's family of treason and wanted to endanger the country, Wang Zhengjun was quick to get rid of it, but she was inconvenient to express it directly. Instead, she asked a question: "Wang Yu, the eldest son of Duke An Han, was formerly How did you deal with it?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Wang Yu was involved by Lu Kuan and others, went astray, spread rumors to confuse everyone, and committed the same crime as Guan Shu and Cai Shu. I dare not hide it. I have already executed him according to the Han law."

Zhen Han took the opportunity to report: "Tang Yao had a son Danzhu, and King Wen of Zhou had sons Guanshu and Caishu. These are all examples of how a man of virtue and wisdom can do nothing to the stupidest son, because their natures are hard to change. Duke An Han is in the position of Duke Zhou, assisting young masters like King Cheng, punishing Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai as Duke Zhou did to Guan Shu and Uncle Cai, and not hindering respect for the court because of his love for his son. This is to imitate Duke Zhou to warn the world not to violate criminal laws , the best demonstration that my big man's decree will not be abolished because of personal affairs."

Wang Mang had long ago sent a group of officials and Confucian scholars to carry out maximum publicity in the government and the public and among the people. With the theme of "destroying relatives with great righteousness and forgetting selfishness in public service", he wrote eight "commandments" to praise this matter, and raised it to the highest level. The height of the "Book of Filial Piety" was distributed to various places, requiring officials and common people to recite it.

As a result, there were a few officials in the imperial court who always liked to flatter Wang Mang, and they recited most of the contents of the eight "Books of Commandments" in cadence, and everyone was moved by Wang Mang's spirit of killing relatives righteously.

Kong Guang shook his head slightly at Liu Che in the crowd, signaling that he could no longer fight against Wang Mang.Wang Mang has packaged himself in such an exaggerated way. If he objected as the emperor, not only would the fanatical believers of Wang Mang criticize the emperor, but they would feel that the emperor abolished the public for personal reasons, which further set off Wang Mang's "virtue", and would also offend Wang Mang, who was determined to win. Invite the disaster of killing oneself.

Naturally, Liu Che would not act rashly at this time, so the court meeting ended with an edict issued by the Queen Mother in a weird brainwashing propaganda:

"...I really appreciate Duke An Han's actions. In the past, Duke Zhou reduced the three prisons and the descendants of the four kingdoms of Huaiyi and Yi, and completed a far-reaching enlightenment to the point where no one broke the law. Taiping, Wei Ji and others have committed serious crimes and cannot escape their responsibility, please punish them according to the law."

The author has something to say:

"Han Shu Wang Mang Biography" records: Da Sima Hujun praised and said: "Duke An Han was trapped in Guan and Cai Zhigu by Ziyu, and Ziyu suffered the most. He is the emperor's family so he dare not look after himself. Weiyu suffers and is angry. Publish eight books to admonish descendants. Yiban prefectures and states, order academic officials to teach." The public, please order the world's officials who can recite the public precepts to write official books, compared with the "Book of Filial Piety".

Wang Mang's canonization campaign is really exaggerated
