When the master's father returned home, he let out a long sigh, which surprised his wife Cui: "Husband, what's going on?"
Master Yan sighed again, and then said, "Young Master, I don't know, but I did something wrong in front of Your Majesty today."
Hearing this, Cui was shocked and said, "Did you offend your majesty?"
After looking at Ms. Cui, the master nodded.
As soon as these words came out, Ms. Cui immediately turned pale.
When my father Yan was studying abroad, he was ridiculed coldly.
At that time, let alone getting a wife, life was difficult.
When he gained the appreciation of Li Yunze and rose to prominence, many people in Zhongshan Kingdom wanted to marry him.
Even Shi Fen, the then Taifu of Zhongshan Kingdom, wanted to marry his granddaughter to him.
When he arrived in Chang'an City, he became the imperial censor of the Han Dynasty, and attracted many nobles who wanted to get married.
However, Lord Fu Yan knew very well how to position himself, so he rejected the nobles and chose the daughter of Cui, a wealthy businessman in Changling County.
Zhufu Yan's position for himself was very clear, that is, to be the lonely minister of the emperor.
Only being a lonely minister of the emperor is his way out.
"Husband."
Ms. Cui hurried over to hold his hand and asked eagerly, "What is going on?"
"Today in the palace, I played chess with His Majesty." Master Yan sighed, "I accidentally beat Your Majesty."
Cui’s ‘(￣.￣)’
"This, this..." Ms. Cui was puzzled, "Does this offend His Majesty? It's just a game of chess."
"You do not understand."
Master Yan shook his head repeatedly, "It's because I was too proud and forgot that the emperors of all generations were petty. Did you know that when the late emperor was the crown prince, he once played chess with the crown prince of King Wu on the streets of Chang'an City?"
"This..." Ms. Cui was moved from Qinghe to Guanzhong, so she didn't know much about these allusions from the past. "I have never heard of them."
"Back then, the late emperor also lost while playing chess. He immediately picked up the chessboard out of anger... Tsk tsk."
It looked like a storyteller, but it aroused Cui's curiosity.
"And after that?"
"After that? Then the late emperor smashed the head of Prince Wu with a chessboard! And there was no explanation for the matter in the end, so it could only be left alone. There are rumors in the market that it was the reason why King Wu rebelled, which was very important.
To the extent that he wants to avenge his prince
"
‘Hiss~~~’
Mrs. Cui was about to burst into tears and couldn't help complaining, "Husband, since you know this, why do you still want to win against Your Majesty? Your Majesty didn't hit you with the chessboard?"
"That's not true." Master Yan smiled bitterly, "It's all my fault. I should have been careful and only lost two or three goals. Alas, I got carried away. Although Your Majesty didn't hit me with the chessboard, he told me to do it the next time I play chess.
Wear a helmet..."
Cui’s ‘(°w°)’
"Husband, you must never play chess with His Majesty again in the future. This is not a chess game, it is clearly a risk of life."
"Don't worry, young gentleman." Master Yan patted Cui's hand and said with a comforting smile, "Your Majesty wants to play chess with you, how can you not go? Moreover, if you want to play chess with your Majesty, no one else has this opportunity. I will remember today's lesson."
, I will never defeat His Majesty again in the future."
"Okay." Ms. Cui breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Husband, let's eat first."
The master's father Yan secretly made up his mind that he would never win against the emperor in a game of chess. However, Liu An, the king of Huainan, who was thousands of miles away, was in panic all day long.
Liu An has long had thoughts of rebellion.
As for the reason, it is naturally not because he is born rebellious, but because his father is Liu Chang.
Huainan King Liu Chang is the son of Liu Bang and the younger brother of Emperor Wen Liu Heng. His most famous deed is to carry the tripod, and he is a warrior with infinite strength.
Liu Chang was arrogant. As early as when he killed Zhu Lu, he thought that he should be the emperor.
When the nobles supported Liu Heng, he became jealous and wanted to cause trouble everywhere.
Liu Heng, who was busy seizing power from the nobles at that time, pretended to appease and win over Liu Chang, which was to use the power of the clan to attack the nobles.
When Zhou Bo, who suppressed the nobles and forced him to slaughter the young emperor, lamented that "today I know how noble the jailer is", Liu Heng immediately changed his face, turned around and began to rectify Liu Chang.
Then there was the very famous Rebellion of the Seventy.
Liu Chang only brought seventy people with him before he started to rebel, and was suppressed without any surprise.
The ministers wanted to kill Liu Chang, but Emperor Wen Liu Heng wiped away tears and expressed that he could not kill brothers and did not want to deal with him.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are a lot of tricks in this matter. Liu Heng is protecting his own image by not killing Liu Chang.
Although he did not directly kill Liu Chang, he deposed him from the throne and exiled him to Shu.
It's just that Emperor Wen said, "My brother likes wine and meat, so he should be given five kilograms of meat and two measures of wine every day."
The person in charge of this matter at that time was Yuan Ang. He was a very smart man and he immediately understood the emperor's intention.
So they were indeed given wine and meat along the way as required, but the meat was rotten and the wine was like horse urine.
Under such torture, Liu Chang starved to death before he arrived in Shu.
What the court claimed to the outside world was that Liu Chang had a strong character and chose to commit suicide on a hunger strike.
But there is no airtight wall in this world. The bad things Liu Heng and Yuan Ang did caused an uproar among the noble clans.
If you want to kill, just kill, why bother with such humiliation?
And you killed Liu Chang, and you still want a good reputation? Just dream!
The nursery rhyme at that time sang, "A foot of linen can be sewed. A bushel of millet can be pounded. Two brothers can't get along."
As the turmoil arose, Liu Heng had no choice but to kill all the people who were delivering wine and meat along the way, and then reluctantly divided the Huainan Kingdom, which was almost in his pocket, into three parts and gave it to Liu Chang.
three sons.
Liu An, Marquis of Fuling, became the King of Huainan, Liu Bo, the Marquis of Anyang, became the King of Hengshan, and Liu Ci, the Marquis of Yangzhou, became the King of Lujiang. This can be regarded as dismembering the Huainan Kingdom, which was too powerful a feudal state.
And what happened this time was actually the origin and prototype of the Tweeting Order.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Liu An and others grew up, they naturally knew how Emperor Wen forced Liu Chang to death, so they never gave up their thoughts of rebellion and revenge.
During the Seven Kings' Rebellion, they wanted to start an uprising, but unfortunately the lieutenants, the prime ministers of the country, acted too quickly and controlled the king and his troops, preventing them from joining the Seven Kings' Rebellion.
A few days ago, Wang Quan took control of the court for a short time and sent King Qin's edict to the kings in various places, asking them to bring their troops and horses to Chang'an City to help King Qin.
Most of the feudal kings are not stupid. They don't want to get involved in this mess. They just pretend that they don't know how to hide in their own kingdoms and continue to be earth emperors.
But ambitious people, like Liu An, jump up and down very excitedly.
He was even imagining that he could lead a large army into Guanzhong, and then wait until Li Yunze and Wang Quanhuo merged and both suffered losses, and then take the opportunity to take advantage.
Unfortunately, when he finally gathered troops and horses, before he could leave Huainan Kingdom, news came from Chang'an City, and Li Yunze killed Wang Quan easily.
Liu An was immediately dumbfounded.
His character is tough on the outside but tough on the inside, that is, he accepts the soft and fears the tough.
I want to rebel, but I don't have enough courage.
As soon as he saw Li Yunze grasping the overall situation so easily, he immediately shrank.
But after all, he had gathered troops and sent troops in response to Wang Quan's call. This fact was watched by so many pairs of eyes and it was impossible to suppress it.
His subordinates Wu Bei, Zuo Wu and others persuaded Liu An, "Your Majesty, there is no way out at this time. We can only directly rebel by protecting the emperor Liu She and fighting for justice."
"The king responded to Wang's call to send troops, Chang'an City will never let it go."
"There is no other way to go. Your Majesty, the only way to stand a chance is to raise the flag immediately!"
A group of close aides tried to persuade him.
They could all see clearly that Liu An couldn't wait to jump out before. Even if Chang'an was just to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, they would definitely not spare the Huainan Kingdom, so the only way to do it was to burn the boat.
Then Liu An's indecisive character broke out again.
Facing the persuasion from his staff again and again, Liu An rubbed his forehead and frowned every time, "Let me think about it, let me think about it."
Liu An had been thinking about this for more than two months.
I have been thinking of Zhang Tang, the Tingwei, and Gongsun Ao, the newly appointed Zuo Zhonglang general with a salary of two thousand dan, and brought thousands of elite Han troops to the Huainan Kingdom.
On the first day Zhang Tang came, he directly read out the imperial edict. This time he was ordered by the emperor to come to thoroughly investigate the collusion between Huainan King Liu An and Wang Ni.
As soon as this righteous title was thrown out, Liu An immediately lost more than half of his support.
If there had been a direct rebellion before, various methods could be used to tie the entire Huainan Kingdom into chariots, and it would not work unless they rebelled by then.
But now, the hesitant Liu An not only missed the good opportunity, but also lost his reputation as a righteous person, making it impossible to mobilize the power of the entire Huainan Kingdom.
Although he is the King of Huainan, the entire Huainan Kingdom is still essentially the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the common people and soldiers are also the subjects of the Han Dynasty.
Liu An's prestige has not yet reached the point where thousands of people will follow him if he raises his arms.
"Father."
In the palace of Shouchun City, the young princess Liu Ling directly grabbed Liu An's hand and said eagerly, "There is no choice at this time. We must quickly raise troops to surround and kill the Tingwei first!"
"Well." Liu An was sweating profusely. "If he attacks and kills Ting Wei, that would be treason."
"Father!"
Liu Ling was almost dying of anxiety, "It's already come to this point, what's the point of saying such useless words? If I don't rebel, will the emperor of Chang'an City let me go? How is it possible!"
She took a deep breath and explained seriously, "If you want to let me go, naturally no Ting Wei will come."
"But now, not only is Ting Wei here, but he has also brought thousands of elite soldiers. It is clear that he is going to deal with me, the Huainan Kingdom."
"But, but..." An anxious Liu An wiped the sweat from his forehead, "We can't win. No one among the kings of Guandong will support me. If we start an uprising at this time, we are looking for death."
"Father." Liu Ling took a deep breath, "If you don't take action, you are waiting for death! The court captain Zhang Tang has been contacting the officials and generals all day long. Once he gathers the troops and horses in the country, then I will wait.
Death without a burial place.”
"If an uprising breaks out now, as long as we can kill the court captain Zhang Tang, we can stabilize the situation in the country. If we contact the remaining parties of the Seven Kings and the Wang family, and use the banner of the Qing monarch to protect Liu She, it may not be impossible. As long as we can fight
If you win one or two games, the kings of Guandong will definitely shout loudly.
Ying, there’s no telling if I’ll be able to take over Chang’an when the time comes.”
Liu An, who was holding his hands behind his back, sighed, "Wait a little longer, let me think about it again."
Liu Ling left angrily and came to the side hall to find Liu An's staff and counselors. He said succinctly, "We have no choice now. We will start an attack tonight and kill the Tingwei Zhang Tang first!"
