In this world, the human heart is always the most difficult thing to predict, bar none.＋◆,

"How could your Majesty do this?" The bright candlelight illuminated the speaker's face.

This is a man that people will definitely remember deeply after taking one look at him.

Not because she is beautiful, nor because she is ugly.

Just fat.

My whole body is fat.

His swollen belly was so swollen that even the wide ribbon could not wrap around his bloated waist, and the fat on his chest was even more exaggerated than a woman's breasts.

The accumulation of fat on the cheeks makes it almost impossible to see the facial features clearly.

There is no doubt that this is a foodie.

In his past life, he spent all his energy on one thing: eating!

Suppose we want to hold a big eating competition involving all mankind in this world before the Christian era.

Then, this man is definitely qualified to represent the Han Dynasty and has the potential to compete for the championship.

He is Zhifanghou Yongchen.

To be precise, it should be Shifanghou.

But who said that his father Yong Chi had offended Emperor Gao too deeply?

Therefore, Emperor Gao deliberately wrote the word Shifang as Zhifang in the canonization edict (Shiyinzhi in Han Dynasty, Fangyinfang, Shifang and Zhifang have the same pronunciation, Shiji Index Note), and sealed his father.

Liu Bang could even be called the Black Emperor, let alone a minister.

Therefore, the Yong family could only accept this insulting title.

Thunder, rain and dew are all your grace.

Yong Chi and Yong Chen didn't have any other ideas.

For so many years, I have been staying at home honestly, doing my job, and waiting to die. I never go out to cause trouble to the court or the people, nor do I go out to compete with others for power.

Relying on the 2,500 households in the feudal state, the Yong family lived a life of peace with the world.

Moreover, Yong Chen’s father Yong Chi is very knowledgeable.

After the death of Emperor Gao, he immediately committed suicide in various ways, eating and drinking, and partying in the dark. It only took three years for him to successfully commit suicide and go to Changling to accompany Emperor Gao.

After Yongchen came to the throne, he firmly remembered his father's lesson: Don't get involved in the troubles caused by the old Liu family.

The Lu family came to power. Yongchen stayed at home and ate. The Lu family collapsed, and Chang'an was slaughtered in darkness. Yongchen still stayed at home and ate. When Taizong came to power, the world was peaceful, and Yongchen still stayed at home and ate.

From the time he took over his father's title at the age of fifteen until now, Yong Chen has perfectly demonstrated to the princes of the Han Dynasty how fat a person can be and what is the limit.

Today, Yong Chen weighs at least more than 200 kilograms. In normal times, four servants are needed to lift his body.

He is a moving mountain of meat.

Obesity caused Yong Chen to suffer from many diseases. It can also be said to be a miracle that he is still alive today.

In the original history, Yong Chen should have died at this time, and then he went underground to report to his father with the conclusion that the court gave him a coffin: Zhi Fang Huang Hou.

One word "wild" can explain a lot of problems.

The posthumous title is: He is fond of pleasure and neglects politics, which is called Huang: He is lustful about sounds and colors. He is lazy in political affairs. It is also said: He is disordered externally and internally, which is called Huang: If the family is not managed, the officials are not managed.

However, Yongchen's ability to live to this day must be attributed to Chun Yuyi. Since Chunyu Yi took charge of the Imperial Physician Temple, the level of medical treatment in the Han Dynasty has improved a lot.

Maybe this kind of improvement is just like that to others, but for a guy like Yong Chen who is suffering from chronic diseases, it is great news.

At least, now, Yong Chen is still alive as proof.

In normal times, Zhi Fanghou of the Yong family was an invisible person in the political arena of the Han Dynasty.

If there is no major event such as the appointment of a crown prince, the death of the emperor, or the enthronement of a new monarch, there is no way you can find anyone who is interested in the Marquis in any official announcement or on any occasion.

However, now, Yong Chen can no longer remain invisible.

Because the man standing in front of him was named Lu Shichen. He was the third generation of Xinyang Marquis and one of the few relatives of the old Yong family.

Although Lu Shichen's surname is Lu, he has nothing to do with Empress Lu's family.

Lu Chen, the first generation Marquis of Xinyang, was a mid-level officer in Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising army. After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were betrayed by the traitor Jia Zhuang, Lu Chen organized the remaining rebels and established the "Cangtou Army" to continue fighting and regained the territory twice.

He moved to Chen, the capital of the Zhang Chu regime, so he was favored by King Huai of Chu and was named Zuo Lingyin.

It was at this time that the old Lu family hugged Liu Bang, a golden man... Of course, the old Lu family also gave a favor to another player, Xiang Yu.

Therefore, after the narrow-minded Liu Bang became emperor, he rewarded people based on their merits and divided the world. The old Lu family, who originally believed that "Conglong was earlier," betted early, and "kneeled and licked in time," only received "merits".

According to the evaluation of "Bitang Yihou", one thousand households are divided into food...

As a powerful local faction, the old Lu family suffered the worst.

As the saying goes, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gao was injured and died in the war against Yingbo, and Empress Lu took power.

Because they are both surnamed Lu, and Empress Lu liked and appreciated Lu Shichen's father Lu Chen's health regimen. Lu Chen lived the longest in the history of the Han Dynasty, except for Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping who passed away last year.

He lived for almost a hundred years and died in the sixth year of Emperor Taizong's reign. He was given the posthumous title of Hu Hou of Xinyang. Hu's posthumous title was interpreted as "longevity test" in the posthumous law.

But the problem lies precisely in the fact that the princes and ministers overthrew the empress Lu. Although the Lu family in Xinyang was quick to see the opportunity, they acted according to the prevailing situation and fell in favor of the alliance of princes and ministers.

But to settle accounts later, the unclear relationship between the old Lu family and the Empress Lu family has become the Achilles heel of the Lu family in Xinyang, and it will be mentioned every now and then.

For this reason, Lu Shichen had to change his name to Shichen after he ascended the throne to express his attitude of submitting to the Liu family from generation to generation and always being a loyal minister.

But this was not the case. Although Emperor Taizong said that he wanted to let the Xinyanghou family forget the past, however, every time when the old Lu family wanted to come out and "do their part" for the country, those remarks would immediately come out.

.

Therefore, the Lu family of Xinyang and the Yong family of Zhifang were brothers in need. They had the same chemistry and cherished each other. They soon became in-laws, and they were extremely close in-laws.

Lu Shichen's son married Yong Chen's daughter.

Yong Chen's eldest son also married Lu Shichen's legitimate daughter and took her two distant cousins ​​as concubines.

"What are your plans, brother?" After Yong Chen sighed, he slowly turned around and asked with the help of two servants.

As a otaku who has been at home for forty years, although Yong Chen is fat, he is not stupid at all.

On the contrary, he has a very high IQ.

If not, how could it be possible that the Yong family could still remain among the Han nobles?

Eight hundred years ago, he was driven out of Chang'an by his father's mortal enemies and enemies!

"I came here to ask my brother to sign this joint memorial..." Lu Shichen took out a piece of silk paper from his arms and put it in front of Yong Chen's eyes.

By the light of the fire, Yong Chen only glanced at it and saw that there were densely packed signatures on it, at least sixty of them.

This is almost half of the number of people in Beijing.

Yong Chen's breathing became rapid. He raised his eyes with difficulty, looked at Lu Shichen, and said with a smile: "Although I am stupid, I understand the principle of dying lips and cold teeth, but..."

Yong Chen's eyes shone with a light he had rarely seen in forty years. He stared at Lu Shichen and asked, "How can you be sure that the emperor will definitely give in?"

"Today, we are the emperor who has the divine mandate from heaven and the people will return to their hearts!"

"Zhongni said: I have been punished by Heaven, so I have nothing to pray for!"

"Aren't you afraid of the Emperor's wrath?"

Although Yong Chen stayed at home, the news was not blocked at all.

On the contrary, he was very concerned about the situation in the DPRK.

Yong Chen is also aware of the current situation.

The emperor wants to scrap old money and exchange it for five baht. Judging from his consistent personality, it is very likely that he is trying to shock the mountain and prevent the princes, nobles, nobles and their henchmen from laundering money.

Therefore, through this unconventional attitude, I made a message to the government and the public, especially the people: Never accept money other than five baht, otherwise, you will not be able to use it.

The nobles and nobles themselves were not much affected by this dispute between old and new money.

After all, the feudal lords relied on enfeoffing the country, food, and towns to become rich and famous, not merchants.

However, the princes felt that they could never give in on this step.

Because they have already given in too much.

Since this summer and April, they have been forced by the emperor to retreat again and again, losing countless benefits.

Last time, everyone gave in because the Jiangdu incident was too involved, and the emperor gave compensation.

But this time, there was no way to retreat.

If you retreat again, it is very likely that the people will be dispersed and it will be difficult to lead the team.

The feudal class will lose control over national affairs and even lose the right to speak on national policies.

From now on, the emperor will decide the affairs of the world with one word.

The butt determines the head, so it is reasonable for the princes to launch a counterattack.
To be continued...
