On July 13th of the second year of Yanchang, King Liu Jian and Murong Ling of Han led 3,000 palace guards to Jinling. Before that, King Liu Jian and Murong Ling of Han had killed dozens of people including Sima Biejia, the prefect of Luoyang City.

He left Xiang Xiaoyu to guard Luoyang.

Seeing King Liu Jian of Han leading his army into the city, Qin Zhong, who had been waiting for a long time, burst into tears. He led his internal guards and defenders to kneel down and worship Liu Jian. Under Qin Zhong's guidance, Liu Jian sent a thousand people to take over the siege from the mansions of various aristocratic families.

The 10 million yuan collected were used to purchase grain and rice and transport them to various places for disaster relief in accordance with the emperor's edict.

Liu Jian took Murong Ling and Murong Ling into the palace to meet the emperor. The palace door opened and the sun shone in, blinding everyone. Liu Xuan rubbed his eyes and saw that Liu Jian and Murong Ling were coming.

He stood up from the throne.

Liu Jian and Murong Ling covered their noses. The stench in the hall was so bad that they were afraid of letting these ministers run away. They set up toilets in the hall to dispose of their urine. At this time, the gentle and elegant three ministers and nine ministers were all unkempt.

The stench was so bad that Liu Jian couldn't help but gag.

Liu Xuan laughed loudly: "Prince, the crown prince of Daliang, the descendant of Taizu, Liu Jian, have you seen it? These are the pillars of the imperial court with high officials and rich salaries. This is their true face! You have to remember their appearance,

In the future, you must never be controlled by others and become a puppet emperor like me."

Liu Jian quickly knelt down and said: "Long live the emperor, I will not dare to overstep my bounds even if I die. I ask your majesty to take back my order to calm the people of the world. Your majesty has given birth to a dragon son, and I swear allegiance to the death. Please think twice."

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers immediately regained their vitality from their dying breath. Zongzheng Liu Gan was the first to speak: "The request of His Royal Highness the King of Han is very much in line with the wishes of heaven and earth. Your Majesty is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period. If you establish the Yuanzhi clan as the crown prince, I will

I am afraid that the foundation of the country will be shaken and the soldiers and civilians in the world will be uneasy."

"Your Majesty, please take back your order. It is because of the incompetence of the ministers that your Majesty worked day and night and injured the body of the dragon. From today on, the ministers must dedicate themselves to rescuing the disaster and rescuing the people. Your Majesty will give birth to a dragon son in the future, and it will not be too late to establish a heir apparent!"

"Your Majesty should respect etiquette and law, respect the ancestral system, and do not be hasty in establishing a heir apparent!"

"Your Majesty can clearly issue an edict, withdraw the edict issued before, and stabilize the morale of the military and the people in the world!"

Liu Xuan laughed wildly: "In your opinion, if I establish the crown prince, I will shake the foundation of the country. If hundreds of thousands of people starve to death, die from illness, and drown, it will not shake the foundation of the country. What is the foundation of the country? It is the people who are the foundation of the country! I have made up my mind.

Decided to make King Liu Jian of Han the crown prince. From now on, Liu Jian can go to the palace with swords and swords to pay homage to the emperor. All the expenses can be compared with mine! Murong Ling was appointed as the prince's young master to accompany the prince Liu Jian and guard the prince thoroughly!"

Liu Jian still knelt on the ground crying and declined. After all, Liu Jian didn't know if this was a test. Although Murong Ling had extraordinary skills, after all, Murong Ling had a good personal relationship with the emperor.

Murong Ling accepted the order and thanked her: "I obey!"

The answer was quick and concise. All the ministers looked at Murong Ling. Murong Ling spoke again: "Your Majesty, I have a little brother Li Xiaofei, who is also a friend of the prince. I became a grand master, but he is nothing. I want to

Ask for an official position for him!"

Liu Xuan smiled happily: "Even the prince can't believe what I said, but you, Mr. Murong, are so sincere. Since it is Mr. Murong who asked for it, I will not hesitate to reward him. I have also seen this Li Xiaofei, so

Make him the prince's young master. You two will protect the prince well. After my death, you will support the prince to the throne. By the way, you will never be the emperor in Jinling City again. The dynasties that established the Jinling Kingdom are all

Short-lived.”

Xiao Shan winked at Liu Jian, asking Liu Jian to continue to refuse, but Liu Jian thought it was his father-in-law who asked him to accept the position of prince, so he knelt down to thank him.

Liu Xuan asked Liu Jian to stand next to him to accept the congratulations from everyone. Liu Jian strode up to the throne. Liu Xuan waved his hand, and all the officials knelt down to congratulate: "His Royal Highness, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

After the congratulations, Liu Xuan fell down on the throne. Everyone was in a mess. Murong Ling jumped onto the throne and touched Liu Xuan: "Your Majesty is just overworked. You will be fine after a few days of rest!"

Qin Gou'er, the internal prisoner, was not alarmed at all changes. He commanded the internal guards in yellow to stabilize the situation and then asked Liu Jian for instructions: "Your Majesty wants to rest for a few days. Please also ask the prince to come to court and supervise the country for a few days."

Liu Jian understood that this was not the time to shirk humility, so he said loudly: "Your Majesty is not feeling well. I, the Crown Prince, are temporarily taking charge of the government. All the money donated by officials has been transported to the disaster area. You have worked hard. You can go home and rest for a few days today."

day"

Everyone was relieved and fled out of the palace one after another. For a moment, they even forgot that they and their families were being held in the prison.

Murong Ling prepared her own medicine and gave it to Liu Xuan for three days, which finally made Liu Xuan more than half recovered. Liu Xuan summoned Liu Jian alone and told Liu Jian his life experiences and ambitions to listen carefully.

Liu Xuan told everything from how the family grew in size over the past few decades until he controlled the government and even interfered in the dethronement of the prince, to his plot to kill the leaders of the family.

Liu Jian was horrified when he heard many of the inside stories. If the emperor in front of him had not told them himself, Liu Jian would not have believed it. This wealthy family secretly instigated the rebellion, bribed the imperial doctor to poison the emperor, and colluded with the Mobei Fire Dragon Clan to eradicate the disobedient people.

Frontier generals and so on.

Liu Jian sighed: "It seems that I am just an idiot as my master said. It seems that this throne is really the most dangerous position in the world."

Liu Xuan laughed: "When I was young, I thought that by becoming the emperor, I could clarify the world and save the people from the fire and water. I have been planning for half a lifetime, but in the end I became the emperor. I found that all I wanted was to seek skin from a tiger, which was not what I wanted at all.

No matter how hard I try, the only eunuchs I can rely on are the eunuchs. Liu Jian, you are still young. You must remember that to become a real emperor, you must make good use of the eunuchs. Let the eunuchs fight against the noble families.

The aristocratic family should control the generals, so that you will not be ignored. Only when they are vying for you to affirm them, can you really do something for the people of Li. In fact, my health has been failing for a long time.

Hold on with one breath. Now you are the crown prince, but you can't stay in Jinling. You can't stay in Jinling. The family still has assassins in their hands. You still have to go to Luoyang. When I go, don't stick to the red tape.

, directly succeeded to the throne. Since I ascended the throne, I have never done anything right for the people. If after you succeed, they bring me and the late emperor to restrain you, you don’t need to pay attention to them. Overthrow them all. Only when the old ones are broken can new ones be established. I am the best person in this life.

It’s no longer possible. It’s up to you to give the people of the world a truly prosperous age.”

Liu Jian thought for a while and couldn't help but ask Liu Xuan a question he had always wanted to ask: "Why did you choose me? If I fail to live up to His Majesty's expectations in the future, wouldn't His Majesty be the person you entrusted to me?"

Liu Xuan looked at him with a smile: "Just because you can ask this question, it proves that I am not wrong about the person. You are kind-hearted by nature, but you can also endure hardships and fight. Although you are a bit lazy on weekdays, you are not extravagant or flashy. In addition,

With the help of top experts like Chen Hongyi and Murong Ling, we can definitely do it!"

Liu Jian asked again: "My master, Mr. Murong and I are also loyal to Your Majesty. Why doesn't Your Majesty do it now?"

Liu Xuan shook his head: "Time is with us. I can think of these things, but I have no time to do them. I found a private doctor to take a look. I can live for two more years at most. Otherwise, how could I do it?"

I will now entrust you with the matters behind me."

Liu Jian didn't believe it and called Murong Ling to come and diagnose Liu Xuan's pulse. Murong Ling came in and waved her hand: "There is no need to diagnose. I have been serving your majesty these days. If your majesty didn't have extraordinary willpower, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago."

"Long Yu is a guest"

Liu Xuan laughed: "I can't die now. When I'm about to die, I will pull out all the thorns for you! You don't have to pity me. You still have a long way to go in the future. You will encounter more difficult and sad things than

I have much more, so I should think more about the future. Liu Jian will send people to verify this disaster relief. After all, just because the relief food has been transported to those places, it does not mean that it has reached the hands of the victims. "

Liu Jian cried goodbye to the emperor and returned to Luoyang with Murong Ling. The killers from Zhongyi Hall had already been dispatched, but when they saw Murong Ling staying close to Liu Jian, they did not dare to step forward.

After Fanyang City suffered a drought, Yaoshi Zhu managed to save himself and hundreds of villagers by relying on his fish ponds and wells. The wells in Xiao Ming's house, the governor of Youzhou, were all dry, and people came to report that there were still fish ponds in Zhujiazhuang.

If there is a well, people will be sent to fetch water.

Originally, when the governor's soldiers came to fetch water, Zhu Yaoshi did not dare to stop him. But a few days later, the governor's office sent hundreds of soldiers to surround the fish ponds and wells, and even Zhu Yaoshi could not go to fetch water. Zhu Yaoshi was in a hurry.

Taking the only gold and silver coins left in the village, he rushed to Xiao Ming's house to plead for mercy.

Xiao Ming collected the gold and silver coins and kept Zhu Yaoshi behind. He explained to Zhu Yaoshi the principles of relieving the victims, but did not let Zhu Yaoshi back to the village for three days in a row.

Zhu Yaoshi was also given a gift, and it was inconvenient to get angry, so he had to endure it and stayed. On the fourth day, Xiao Ming let Zhu Yaoshi go back.

When Zhu Yaoshi returned to the village, most of the villagers had died of thirst, and the rest were also dying. Zhu Yaoshi hurriedly went to get water, but was kicked out by the guarding soldiers.

There was a ten-year-old child among the bankers. He couldn't bear it any longer, so when the watchman wasn't paying attention, he rushed into the fish pond and started drinking.

The soldiers quickly picked up the child and beat him to death with fists, feet and sticks. Zhu Yaoshi went to argue, but was also beaten. The remaining villagers were not polite and rushed over with sickles and hoes.

Seeing that it was too late to stop him, Yaoshi Zhu had no choice but to pull out his knife and rush forward.

Dozens of people were half dead from thirst. At this moment, they were stimulated and just killed hundreds of soldiers. After everyone drank water to quench their thirst, Zhu Yaoshi asked them: "Now that we have rebelled, we cannot stay here."

Okay. We have to find a way out."

A new banker who had been defecting for several months pointed to the northwest: "Let's go to Herenbao. There will be people there to take us in. At least we can find a way out by working for others."

Everyone hesitated, but Zhu Yaoshi got up and lit a fire to his manor: "If you don't leave, you will be a ghost under the sword. I am willing to follow him to Renhe Fort alive!"
