Big Han Weiyang

Zhu Chao wronged the Qing emperor's side, which was just a cover.

The death of Chao Cuo did not stop the Seven Kingdoms from rebelling.

However, the seemingly unstoppable rebel army, under the cavalry of the army led by the two generals Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying, persisted for only two months before being defeated.

The armies of the Seven Kingdoms collapsed, and the vassals, their wives and children committed suicide one after another in order to preserve their dignity.

I suddenly felt that Chao Cuo's original suggestion was not as stupid as everyone thought.

Since the vassal king's anti-army is just a group of weak mobs, as long as the deputy is selected, Emperor Jing's personal conquest may not be impossible, and the next step is to cut down the vassal.

Why is it like today, the battle has been fought and won.However, Chao Cuo's tragic end served as a lesson for the past, so that no one dared to bring up the matter of cutting down the feudal clan.

The two teachers and students of Emperor Jing, who were supposed to be the biggest beneficiaries, died, and the other was forced by his mother and ministers to kill his teacher himself.

In April, when the generals who went on an expedition returned to Beijing, it was time to reward them for their meritorious deeds.Empress Dowager Dou once again proposed to establish King Liang as the crown prince.

No matter how absurd a thing is, if you say too much, someone will take it seriously.

When Empress Dowager Dou first mentioned it at the banquet last winter, King Liang did not have any delusions about the throne.

But this time King Liang helped Emperor Jing win the civil strife, and when he heard Queen Dowager Dou mention it again, it was inevitable that he really became a little moved.

From King Liang's point of view, in this battle, he fought hard to kill the enemy and acted as a bait, which is considered a great achievement.Without his help, Emperor Jing may have died in civil strife.Since he has such great favor to the emperor's brother, it seems that it is not an exaggeration to make him the crown prince.

Besides, the big man belongs to the Liu family. He and Emperor Jing are both children of the Liu family. After the elder brother is the emperor, the younger brother will continue to be the emperor. After the younger brother is finished, let the nephew do it.

Both King Liang and Empress Dowager Dou felt that this was the case, so King Liang happily came to Chang'an to wait for the good news.

This time it was Dou Ying's friend Yuan An who jumped out to stop her.

Yuan Ang raised a question that Empress Dowager Dou had always deliberately ignored: Emperor Jing and King Liang were brothers, and they had a harmonious relationship, and with Empress Dowager Dou, a loving mother, taking care of them, it was not difficult for a brother on the throne to end up as a younger brother.However, after the death of King Liang, Empress Dowager Dou is about to die. Can the heirs of Emperor Jing and King Liang continue to live in harmony?

The throne should be inherited by the son of Emperor Jing. Would the son of King Liang be willing to do so?Let the son of King Liang succeed to the throne, would the son of Emperor Jing be willing?

The struggle between the emperor's heirs has always been bloody, and in the end, it is inevitable that the blood relatives will fight each other, and the foundation of the great man will be shaken because of this.

For Liu's sake, Queen Mother Dou finally gave up this ridiculous idea.

The king of Liang returned in defeat.

I think Uncle Liang must hate Dou Ying and Yuan An to the core.

And Emperor Jing was not in good health, because of these things these days, he was depressed for a while, and he vomited blood directly, and went to the Ganquan Palace west of Chang'an to recuperate.

Ladies and gentlemen, princes and daughters will take turns to accompany you.

It takes more than two hours to get to Ganquan Palace by horse-drawn carriage.On the road, Mrs. Wang kept telling me to be obedient and behave well in front of my father.But don't tell me what to show.

When I arrived at Ganquan Palace and saw the large and small hot springs all over the mountain, I put all my doubts behind me and made trouble with Emperor Jing in the water for a whole day.

I was too excited to play during the day, and in the evening, listening to the sound of water in the distance, I couldn't sleep.

Open the door and go out, the wind is a bit strong.I wiped my face, and a bright moon hung in the night sky.

The colorful clouds floated, making the moonlight flicker.A few stars are scattered across the sky.The shadows cast by the shrubs and trees beside the temple were deep and shallow.

Most of the roads of Ganquan Palace are paved with stones.Barefoot, I stepped on one small puddle after another, followed the winding path, bypassed the dotted stone mountains, and unknowingly came to the Liangfeng Palace where Emperor Jing lived.

The night was foggy, and the clothes were covered with water vapor, and the sleeves fell down heavily.

In the shadow of the trees on the steps outside the hall door, there was a man wearing a thin coat, sitting with his head buried.

I tiptoed up the steps, looked at him for a while, squatted in front of him, and said softly, "Father?"

Emperor Jing was tall, fair-skinned, gentle and gentle like a gentleman, but above the court, he was not lacking in vigor and majesty.

From day to night, although there is no change in his appearance, he looks like a completely different person.

He looked tired at this time, when he saw me, he forced the corners of his mouth up and said: "It's Yueer."

A simple sentence, said like a sigh.

I looked at him seriously and said, "Father, you haven't recovered from your illness yet, why are you sitting on a rock in a single shirt in the middle of the night. Why don't we continue to soak in the hot springs."

He stroked my head, stared quietly into my eyes, and asked, "It's so late, why don't you rest yet?"

I was so tired from squatting, I sat beside him and said dissatisfiedly, "The sound of the water outside is too loud."

Emperor Jing smiled and said, "Because Ah Zhu is not around, I dare not sleep after waking up. Father should really call you two brothers together, lest you be bored by yourself."

I shook my head: "No, no, Yue'er heard the sound of water and remembered a parrot I had raised before."

"How old are you, there is a 'before' to talk about. Come, tell my father what happened to your old parrot." He picked me up and put me on his lap.

I leaned in his arms and said, "That parrot was given to Yueer by grandma, and its name is Liu Cui. Every morning, it would call me 'Dongfang Baiyi' to wake me up. Then one day it lay motionless, and grandma Said it was too old. I never saw it again."

I took a peek at Emperor Jing.

The relationship between him and Queen Mother Dou has been so cold that it is almost freezing.He looked sad and tired tonight. I mentioned Queen Mother Dou, what should I do if he is even more unhappy.

"Yue'er is really nostalgic." Emperor Jing was not angry.

"Grandma said that Liu Cui stayed by her side for a long time, enough to be my first teacher, so she gave it to me."

"What did Yueer learn then?"

I said: "Yue'er has learned a lot of poems. Like this one, the flower of Tang Di, the love of calyx embryo, the love of brotherhood, nothing like brothers."

Emperor Jing lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders: "Brotherhood is like brotherhood. This old lady never forgets to teach her grandson this way."

He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said solemnly: "Liu Yue, you must keep this poem in your heart, and be brothers to Liu Zhi and the others. Don't be like me and you, Uncle Liang, who were born to one mother, but separated from each other. , making me exhausted."

"Well, Yue'er must remember." I nodded vigorously.

"What else did that parrot teach you?"

"There is also a song called Mili. The other Mili is the seedling of the other millet. The walking is slow, and the center is shaking. Those who know me..."

The millet seedlings flourish, and the sorghum sprouts.On my way home, my steps were slow and my mind was heavy.

"Those who know me say I am worried, those who don't know me say what I want," Emperor Jing recited along with me, his voice was heavy and ethereal, echoing in the night, "You long sky, who is this..."

The little bugs hiding in the grass kept chirping, and the white mist filled the Ganquan Palace.

Emperor Jing didn't speak for a while, I turned my head and saw his brows wrinkled into Sichuan characters: "Father, don't you like this poem?"

"No, I think of my teacher, Dr. Chao Cuo. This is a song he often recites. Those who know me say I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want."

Long sky, who is this.

That distant heaven, who made me fall into such a situation.

Chao Cuo wanted to ask this sentence, and so did Emperor Jing.

In fact, they all knew who that person was.Neither of them could say the man's name.

Chao Cuo was bound under the guillotine, and the silence when he stared at the sky emerged before my eyes.

"The Seven Kingdoms have been defeated, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the people of the world are all rejoicing, but I am the only one who can't be happy."

"The person who taught me earnestly for more than [-] years and was also a teacher and friend is gone; the person who accompanied me to wait for the snow-capped mountains to watch the cranes when I was depressed, and poured me a bowl of tea soup when I was dizzy, The person who analyzed the situation with me in detail is gone."

"And the person who ordered him to be killed was I. My heart aches. I was the knife that killed Dr. Chao, and the person holding the knife is actually mine..." Emperor Jing hugged me tightly, a drop of warmth The water fell on the back of my hand, just covering the place where Dr. Chao's blood dripped that day.

"After a hundred years, I will be under the Nine Springs, and I can face the late emperor and my ancestors without shame, but I don't know how to face him."

We sat outside for a long time, so long that I fell asleep in a daze.When I woke up, the moon had already set.I found myself on Jingdi's bed.

I climbed to the edge of the bed, on the side of Luo Mu, someone was coughing in a low voice.

"Yue'er, it's still early, you can continue to sleep."

"Father is sleeping too." I said.

Emperor Jing came over from the window wearing some clothes, he shook his head and said, "Yue'er, did you understand what my father said just now?"

I thought about it, and shook my head a little embarrassedly.

He sat down and said, "It's fine if you don't understand, you are still young, you should learn more about classics and history, cultivate yourself, and pay less attention to this kind of court strife. I shouldn't have told you these things."

After a pause, he stroked my head and murmured: "You and your son are smart and resolute in nature, it would be great if you were not so young. Sigh, with Liu Rong's character, he can't support the big man's family at all. "

Jingdi's hands were soft and warm.

I knew I shouldn't talk at this time, so I watched him quietly until I couldn't hold back my sleepiness.

When Emperor Jing's health improved slightly and he moved back to Weiyang Palace from Ganquan Palace, I finally understood what Emperor Jing's words and Mrs. Xiaowang's instructions meant.

In June, Liu Rong was established as the prince.Liu Zhi and I were named King of Guangchuan and King of Jiaodong respectively.

Dou Ying, as the prince's Taifu, enlightened Liu Zhi and me while teaching the prince.
