"What if that person is the Youzhou Provincial Governor, Liu Yan?" Cao Zhengchun blinked and asked.”
"Liu Yan is a relative of the Han royal family. How could he harm the First Prince?"”
" Your Majesty," Cao Zhengchun reminded," there have been quite a number of Han clan members who have attempted to rebel in recent years. Think about the King of Bohai back then…"
Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong's expression changed as he recalled a dusty past.
……
(The death of the Bohai King indirectly led to the death of the eldest prince Liu Zheng's mother, Empress Song. I'll say a few more words here.)
Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhi, granted his younger brother, Liu Kui, the Marquis of Liwu, the title of Bo Sea King.
Later on, Liu Kui was accused of plotting rebellion. Liu Zhi could not bear to kill his younger brother Liu Kui, so he only demoted him to the King of Tao, with only one fief in Tao County.
Liu Kui, who had lost his fief, regretted it and hoped to restore his Bo Hai Kingdom. He contacted Wang Fu and promised that if Wang Fu helped him restore his kingdom, he would give Wang Fu 50 million in gratitude.
Later, Liu Zhi, Emperor Huan of Han Dynasty, died and ordered Liu Kui to be the king of Bo Sea again.
Liu Kui believed that this was his brother's last wish and not the result of Wang Fu's efforts. He refused to pay Wang Fu 50 million, so Wang Fu held a grudge.
After that, Empress Dowager Dou Miao and General Dou Wuce appointed Liu Hong, Marquis of Jiedu Pavilion of Hejian Kingdom in Jizhou, to inherit the throne and sent people to Hejian Kingdom to welcome him.
There were rumors among the people that Liu Kui was resentful that his brother Liu Zhi did not pass the throne to him and wanted to lead troops to snatch the welcoming edict.
Zhong Chang Shi Zheng Sa, Zhong Huang Men Dong Teng and Liu Kui had a good relationship. Wang Fu secretly investigated and thought that there was something hidden, so he reported the matter to Si Li Colonel Duan Wei.
Duan then arrested Zheng Sa and sent him to the North Temple Prison for interrogation. He ordered Lian Zhong to falsely accuse Zheng Sa and others of conspiring to usurp the throne and wanted to make Liu Kui emperor.
Later, Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty, issued an edict to arrest Liu Kui by the governor of Jizhou and investigate the case. Liu Kui could not bear the torture in prison and was forced to commit suicide. His wife and more than 100 children died in prison.
……
Four years ago, after Wang Fu was killed by a mysterious faction, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong, found out that the Bohai King had been wrongly accused.
Moreover, Wang Fu had killed King Bo Hai Liu Kui and his wife, Lady Song, in vain. Lady Song was the aunt of the eldest prince Liu Zheng's mother, Empress Song. Wang Fu was afraid that Empress Song would hate him, so he and Cheng Ah fabricated a lie to frame Empress Song. Empress Song was also wronged!
Thinking of so many things, Han Lingdi Liu Hong felt even more sorry for the First Prince Liu Zheng.
Previously, Empress Song had died an unjust death, but nothing could happen to the First Prince, Liu Zheng!
Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong quickly issued an edict: "Eunuch Cao, make a trip and give my imperial sword to the First Prince, the King of Liaodong!
Even if the Youzhou Provincial Governor Liu Yan wants to harm the First Prince, the First Prince doesn't have to worry about him being a relative of the Han clan. He can kill him first and report later…"
" Shangfang " was originally the official name of the person who was in charge of the manufacturing of the emperor's artifacts. The Shangfang Sword was originally a horse-killing sword. It was very sharp and could break horses. Because it was hidden in Shangfang, it was commonly known as the " Shangfang Treasure Sword ". It had already existed since the Han Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhu Yun, the minister of admonition, wrote: "This subject is willing to bestow Shang Fang with the horse-slaying sword to cut off the head of the crafty minister, Zhang Yu.”Zhang Yu was the Prime Minister at that time and was the teacher of Emperor Cheng of Han, Liu Ao. He was favored. Emperor Cheng was furious."I have insulted my master in court. I am guilty of death.”He ordered the censor to tie Zhu Yun up. Left General Xin Qingji pleaded for Zhu Yun and spared Zhu Yun's death.
The Shangfang Horse Slaying Sword that Zhu Yun requested was also known as the Shangfang Sword among the people.
The person who held the imperial sword was someone trusted by the emperor and had the privilege of acting first before reporting. However, such an act must be done according to the law and could not be done recklessly.
In fact, Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong had ordered people to forge four Zhongxing Swords, which were more important than the imperial sword. Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong did not give them to Liu Zheng, which meant that he did not trust him very much!
"Understood!" Cao Zhengchun quickly rode his horse and caught up to the First Prince Liu Zheng's team. He issued an imperial edict, bestowing the Imperial Sword to Liu Zheng, who was now the King of Liaodong!
The First Prince Liu Zheng didn't need to say anything special to Cao Zhengchun, just eye contact was enough.
Cao Zhengchun knew that he had to stay by Liu Hong's side to prevent anyone from spreading rumors in front of the Emperor and harming the First Prince!
Just like Huang Zhong, the original Yulin Royal Guards had always been stationed in the barracks. Their information had not been updated, and their impression of the First Prince, Liu Zheng, was still the same!
However, after spending some time together, they had a whole new level of respect for the First Prince, Liu Zheng!
Moreover, the Emperor's most trusted eunuch, Cao Zhengchun, had passed the imperial edict to Liu Zheng!
They now realized that the Emperor had placed great hopes on the First Prince, Liu Zheng. It could be said that he was showing great kindness!
The First Prince, Liu Zheng, was no longer a dispensable prince like before!
The Yulin Royal Guards and the other generals looked at First Prince Liu Zheng with even more fervor.
"Ding dong! Congratulations, Master. Because of the existence of the Imperial Sword, the loyalty of all soldiers to Master has increased by 10 points! An average of 90 points!"
When the loyalty reached 90 points, no one could snatch the Yulin Royal Guards from the hands of the First Prince, Liu Zheng, except for Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling!
Not even Great General He Jin!
