    Cao Shi disappeared.  In one month of Dasuo Guanzhong, tens of thousands of Northern troops were mobilized to sweep all seventy-five counties, but neither the murderer nor Cao Shi was found.  In the Xiliu camp, Lieutenant Fan Taguang stood wearing a large armor and holding a sword. One hundred and twenty captains of the Northern Army were sitting on the left and right. The army officers and horses stood with their swords drawn. Outside the tent, drums sounded like thunder. The three armies were waiting for danger.  Enemy.  "Report!" The messenger broke in and said: "It has been confirmed that the deceased abandoned by Chidao was from Huainan. He was identified as a local ranger. He frequently visited the Huainan Palace and had a close relationship with the local ranger organization." "That Zhuangzi  Did you find anything there? " "No! The village was burned to the ground, and the bodies of the original villagers were found in the ruins. After testing, they had been dead for many days." Fan Taguang sneered: "Hundreds of people were easily killed.  Erase, what a powerful method! Are the generals willing to believe that there are no traitors in the Neishi Mansion and the county government?¡±  At the time of the incident, the area within one mile of Chidao was cleared. Dozens of businessmen who happened to be passing by at that time died violently. What was even more coincidental was that they escaped the daily patrol route of the Northern Army cavalry. How can there be so many coincidences in the world?  The results are self-evident. This was a well-planned raid, and there was a shameful traitor within the imperial court.  Fan Taguang ordered the search to continue, and he went straight to Weiyang Palace with hundreds of personal guards. Under the influence of ¡Û³¤¡Û·ç¡Ûliterature¡Û, w£«¡ï¨’et Cao Shizong, the nobles living in Chang'an City were very careful when traveling.  Be more careful.  Arriving at the Greenhouse Hall of Weiyang Palace, I heard the emperor's roar from a distance.  The emperor is like an angry lion suppressing all officials.  Seeing the timid civil and military officials, Liu Che became very angry: "The Princess of Huainan is lost. Tingwei told me to investigate slowly, and I believed it! The chariot general was lost, and Tingwei said he would definitely find it."  Come back, I still believe it! It has only been a few days, and the prince of the feudal lord has also been lost. What else can Tingwei say?" Tian Fu looked at a loss.  "The explanation is a sign of inability to cover up. A thousand words are worse than a word of silence. The emperor's anger is as unstoppable as fire cooking oil, so he can only bow his head and give in."  Liu Che, after all, was thinking about his mother's family ties and glared at Tian Fu fiercely.  Turning his head and shouting: "You are incompetent! You are always scheming. You are very proficient in ranking based on seniority and suppressing your colleagues. Once the country wants to use you, you will scratch your head and think hard about it, but you will not be able to get it. It seems that you are eating the country for nothing and have no plan. How can you govern the country?"  Prime Minister Xuchang held a wat tablet with a livid face and lowered his head in silence.  The three princes and nine ministers were all embarrassed.  It is really not pleasant to be scolded by the emperor as a loser.  Zhang Ou, the imperial censor, looked around and sighed: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a big flaw in Guanzhong. Perhaps Guanzhong has forgotten to be on guard during the decades of peace." The chamberlain Guo Sheren bowed deeply and said: "Your Majesty.  "Lieutenant Fan Taguang is waiting outside the palace!"  ! The identities of the dead assassins were all identified. Many of the deceased were from Huainan, and many of them had close contacts with Huainan King Liu An. "How could it be him?" "Is he trying to rebel?"  "The rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu failed, and today we are going to rebel again and seek death!" "Don't rush to conclusions, it might be a trap for the emperor and the princes to kill each other." Liu Che waved his sleeve and the discussion stopped immediately:  "Is the disappearance of Princess Huainan Liu Ling related to this? Is it possible that Prince Liu An of Huainan is involved?" Fan Taguang said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. Liu An loves Princess Huainan very much. If Princess Huainan falls into someone's trap,  In her hands, it is very possible to force King Huainan to take risks, but this should not be the reason to take away General Chaoqi. The relationship between Princess Huainan and General Chaoqi is special, but it should never be that of enemies. " Liu Che closed his eyes slightly and fell into it.  think.  The case of Princess Liu Ling of Huainan has always been unresolved. The strange thing is that Prince Liu An of Huainan did not seem to be too worried, but he had been asking around for information in the early stage. Last summer, the situation returned to normal, as if his daughter had never been lost.  Various abnormal circumstances indicate that there may be a reason. Even if Liu An did not participate in the robbery, he must be one of the insiders.  "What's more, the case of the crown princes of the four vassals has always been really difficult. Three of the four crown princes who were kidnapped were from the Yue Kingdom in the south, and the assassins happened to be from Lianghuai." Lieutenant Fan Taguang said: "The assassin was also found.  His mentor was the same person, his name was Ding Gong, and he disappeared in Guangling County at the beginning of last year. "Ding Gong!   The civil and military officials were stunned for a moment, this name seemed so familiar.  Since ancient times, "gong" has been an honorific title, for noble princes such as Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong. During the Warring States Period, the princes merged and rituals collapsed, and the title of "gong" gradually became widespread. Older and more prestigious people can also be called "gong", but regardless of  There aren't too many of any kind.  The name Ding Gong is not a common title. An old man with the surname Ding cannot be called a duke. He must either have aristocratic status or come from a person with high prestige.  Prime Minister Xuchang was immediately startled: "This name is so familiar! It seems to be the name of a general from the Western Chu Kingdom." All the civil and military officials looked at each other in confusion.  Xi Chu had been thrown into the past decades, so why he suddenly appeared and killed him by surprise, the officials and ministers couldn't understand.  Especially the young bureaucrats cannot understand the existence of Xichu. Every time they hear that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, seems to be a legendary figure, Gao Shan Yangzhi, they cannot imagine that Xichu, which has disappeared for decades, will appear in front of them again.  Liu Che asked: "After a detailed check, is there any mistake?" "I guarantee with my life that there will be no mistakes! This man is the son of the old Chu general Ding Gong." The emperor rubbed his temples and had a headache: "Now we are in trouble."  The survivors of Gu Chu are a group of very stubborn people. They live scattered in the land of Gu Chu in Guandong, especially in the south where Xiang Yu was born. Almost every household in the vast land has fought for the Xiang family. The old people in those villages either  He has been on the battlefield, or his father, brother, and relatives have shed blood for the Xiang family.  That place is very special, just south of Fengpei County, the Longxing ancestral court of Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang.  The two places were originally close to each other and belonged to the Western Chu. The famous allusion of the Battle of Gaixia was "Besieged on all sides". It was not the Han army singing songs of Chu that made the Chu army think that all the elders in their hometown had betrayed them, so they bid farewell to my concubine and took only twenty-seven soldiers with them.  Qi escaped from Gaixia Camp and finally died on the edge of Wujiang River.  When Xiang Yu was at his peak, he had 400,000 Chu troops under his command. Long Qi's 200,000 Chu troops were defeated by Qi. Xiang Yu's 200,000 Chu troops were divided and surrounded. Most of them surrendered. A small number of them disappeared after Xiang Yu's death. The surrendered Chu troops surrendered.  be released.  The fleeing Chu generals hid everywhere.  In the end, there are three endings.  Duke Ding surrendered to Liu Bang and was killed as a warning to others.  Zhong Limei took refuge with Han Xin and was killed and his head sacrificed.  Ji Budong hid his connections and persuaded Xia Houying to come forward to avoid the death penalty.  It stands to reason.  The survivors of Western Chu should gradually disappear in the long river of history.  This seems to be true in the first thirty years of the Han Dynasty.  But in the process of killing Zhu Lu.  The meritorious princes once discovered that the Lu family had received many surrenders from the survivors of Western Chu, which indicated that the Lu family, who were in danger, had planned to unite with the survivors of the old Chu and in turn kill the princes and princes.  This despicable alliance attracted enough attention in the court.  No matter how the emperor and the princes fought, both sides maintained a tacit understanding and gradually suppressed the Guchu people.  The two brothers Ji Bu and Ji Xin had troubles in their official careers. Especially Ji Bu, who was very self-aware and returned to his hometown after old age, gained the trust of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty.  During the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion between Wu and Chu more than ten years ago, the remnants of Chu who were uneasy about the status quo really started to move again. Before the rebellion, Wu King Liu Bi fanned the flames everywhere, and the left and right connected in tandem to form an objective rebel group. If the rebel princes  The king and his superiors were united in their hatred of the enemy, and maybe they could really overthrow the Han Dynasty and divide the world equally. Unfortunately, they were defeated in three months by one move.  When the Han army invaded the rebel city, something strange happened.  When the Han army broke through the capital of the King of Chu, the King of Wu immediately plundered the entire city. You must know that it is very rare for rebels to enter the city and plunder. For the sake of calming people's hearts, distinctions will be made, and those who are forced to rebel will be forgiven.  Those who resolutely rebelled were severely punished, but the Han army did not make any distinction and simply plundered away, as if they were treating a land that did not belong to them. What is even more interesting is that the rebellion ended and most of the rebel areas were classified as counties.  At that time, public opinion in the DPRK and China was very dissatisfied with Zhou Yafu's looting.  However, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty firmly supported it. The reason was to raise military expenses and reward the heroes. However, the emperor himself knew that this was not the case. The Han army used the opportunity of the great plunder to destroy the economic foundation of Chu and arrested them in the name of rebellion.  Many Chu survivors were killed, and their leaders were severely punished under military law to serve as a warning to others.  The imperial court took this opportunity to suffer a heavy loss from Gu Chu. It almost wiped out 70% of Gu Chu's strength. The remaining remnants grew old and died. The two or three big cats and kittens were also gradually withering away. The imperial court  Only then did they gradually relax their vigilance and turn to internal struggles. The power struggle between Zhou Yafu and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty lasted for ten years until Zhou Yafu's unjust death and the death of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.  "They should all be dead, why are there still others?" Liu Che had a headache.  All civil and military officials also have headaches.  In the eyes of the Han army, Gu Chu was not worth mentioning.When the army was a professional army in 1999, it was not as good as the Han army. What's more, after sixty long years of baptism, the elite princes who were originally elite became fragmented and secular. They were butchers of pigs and fishermen.  Fishermen, farmers farming in the countryside, hunters carrying hunting bows wandering in the mountains and forests, husbandmen and pavilion chiefs walking with swords, and county officials wearing official robes to judge cases.  They no longer have a unified organization, and they are blurred among ordinary people. It is unclear which ones are the survivors of the old Chu and which are the honest Han people. Even if their identities can be searched according to the map, it is difficult to determine which one is resentful and determined to take revenge, and which one is determined to take revenge.  People are diligent and hardworking and never complain.  Wanting to control them requires large-scale surveillance. The Han Dynasty cannot afford the investment in large-scale surveillance. Not only is the national finance unable to support it, but rule by inaction will not be allowed. Engaging in terrifying spy politics has always been unpopular. There is no problem in the first place.  A small collision would be interpreted as a big incident. The emperor of the Han Dynasty would not allow the collapse of folk customs, let alone the emergence of a huge spy organization.  In short, the control over Guchu is blank.  Liu Che was very angry, and even with his intelligence, he could not solve it. He said angrily: "That's not what the late emperor said at the beginning. He clearly said that the Chu survivors were not in danger, so why did it suddenly become so troublesome? Are those people really crazy?  Don't they understand that as long as I give the order, tens of thousands of families will be torn apart, and thousands of heads will be separated?" Weiwei Zhuang Qingzhai stood up and said: "This thief is going south to the Huaihe River, please.  Your Majesty orders the Huainan State to apprehend the thieves! " "Your Majesty! There may be a traitor in the court. Ding Gong and his group of thieves may use the power of the traitor in the court to accurately learn the patrol patterns of the Northern Army. Please order the traitor.  "Your Majesty! I think it is better to leave this case to the Tingwei Mansion. It is not good to send out the Northern Army and make people panic!" "Your Majesty, please put the country and the country first!"  My lungs almost exploded.  " If Tian Fu had the ability to solve the case, he wouldn't be standing here. He is just a waste with gilded qualifications. If it weren't for his mother-in-law's sake, he would have been kicked out long ago.  "Everyone shut up!" Liu Che clenched his hands and said firmly: "Listen to me, General Chariot and Cavalry is the pillar of the country and must be found as quickly as possible. It must be brought back alive. No matter how many difficulties there are, it must be  Success, I must make it clear before I give the order. It is only allowed to succeed and not to fail! The general of Chariot and Cavalry is not allowed to have a hair loss. I only allow the results to be carried out and no objections are allowed.  "Weiwei Zhuang Qingzhai, how many elite troops from Jingxiang County are there in the Southern Army?" "About 10,000 soldiers from Jingxiang County, go south to Huainan Kingdom."  Greetings to King Liu An of Huainan. I don¡¯t believe that his Huainan Kingdom is as white as paper. I have reason to suspect that King Huainan has close contacts with the remnants of Chu. I can be sure that Ding Gong will not go too far. He is somewhere south of Huainan Kingdom.  Find them and rescue General Chaoqiu!" "Here!" Zhuang Qingzhai took the order with a solemn expression.  Prime Minister Xuchang questioned: "Your Majesty! How can you be sure that the cavalry general is safe and sound?" "I believe that Ding Gong, this animal does not dare to hurt human life, and it has passed here through observation!" Liu Che pointed to his head: "Tingwei must hurry up  After finding out the identity of the traitor, I cannot allow those who eat and ruin things to appear in the court." The emperor's eyes were stern. Tian Fu shuddered and lowered his head and said, "I will do my best to solve this serious case and never let down the emperor's expectations!"  "Today's court meeting is over. At this critical moment, you must be more cautious and not make any more mistakes!" "I obey the order!" Liu Che waved his sleeves and walked out, leaving hundreds of officials looking at each other in shock.  The emperor has changed.  He has become stronger and more determined than before.  This is a sign of evolving into a generation of heroes. The veterans sighed sadly, maybe times have really changed.  Liu Che was not in the mood to care about other people's moods. He was worried about the situation of his eldest sister, Princess Yangxin Liu Huan.  The sudden disappearance of her brother-in-law Cao Shi was a huge blow to her sister Liu Huan, especially when she learned that her husband had sent his personal guards to pick her up, and was suddenly kidnapped with more than a dozen servants. She was almost destroyed by sadness and self-blame.  Chunyu Sanniang explained the principle of the disease in a low voice outside the Changqiu Palace. Overthinking was the ancient name for depression. In Cang Gong's medical prescription, heart disease must be answered by a heart medicine doctor. Chunyu Sanniang didn't know what heart medicine was.  But he knows that there is no disaster that women cannot survive.  "Your Majesty, please relax. The daughter of the people assures you that Your Highness the Princess's health will gradually get better. Her Highness the Princess has always told the daughters of the people that she must give birth to the Cao family's child and let the baby in her bellyFor the healthy growth of a child, Your Majesty should believe in the strength of a mother.  " "Mother's strength?  " "What Sanniang said makes sense.  "The Queen Mother Wang'an came from the palace: "Che'er, when I was pregnant with you, I was worried about the future. I was afraid that my mother and I would not even have a place to stay. Fortunately, Tai Yishen did not abandon me.  , your birth brings hope to my mother The same is true for Weinger now. She has to go through this threshold before she can get better.  "Liu Che clenched his fists and remained silent. "Cao Shi worked hard for him and endured a huge blow but still survived. The arrangement of General Chariot and Cavalry was so aggrieved and helpless. In order to appease him, the emperor has prepared to increase the number of troops. He will continue to do so in the next two years.  With the addition of 40,000 new soldiers, the Chariot and Cavalry Generals will become as powerful as the Northern and Southern armies and become the fourth military force to defend Chang'an. The Chariot and Cavalry Generals will become a veritable high minister, and their power will exceed that of most of the nine ministers.  This is Liu Che's curved strategy to save the country. The three princes and nine ministers are just toys to him. If he is not willing to play with them, there are a hundred ways to destroy them. Cao Shi tried hard to persuade many geniuses to let the young emperor take a break.  He was so angry that he allowed Sangong and Jiuqing to continue to exist under his nose. In the blink of an eye, Cao Shi was kidnapped, and Liu Che almost jumped up! The emperor muttered: "Mother, I want to give my sister a title.  " "Oh, what kind of title does the emperor want to add?  "Liu Che cleared his throat, his voice as clear as the knocking of a jade chime: "The emperor's eldest sister is related to me by flesh and blood. Her hard work and merits deserve the country's great gifts. From now on, she will be called Princess Yangxin!  Tang Muyi was awarded 10,000 households, and the ceremony was the same as that of the princes and kings!  " The chamberlains and maids all knelt down to listen to the order. Tong Ye was granted the title of Hou Zhuyu in front of him. The emperor said that Tianxian was in his mouth and it was difficult to catch up. The title of the eldest princess was not just the addition of Tang Muyi, the title itself contained great significance.  The political significance of the emperor's trust in the Cao family is very deep. No one should try to trick the Cao family. Just like the Chen family of Tangyi Marquis for more than ten years, relying on the favor of Princess Guantao, the Chen family was prosperous.  After more than ten years, if the Chen family had not committed suicide, Cao Shi might not have had to rely on the eldest princess for several more decades, but the Cao family would not mind having another eldest princess. There is no doubt that Yang Xin.  The eldest princess is enough to protect the Cao family for decades of peace. Her daughter was granted the title of eldest princess, and Mrs. Wang was very happy: "The emperor can decide for himself!"  But we have to take the attitude of Princess Guantao into consideration. After all, the two eldest princesses are always a bit" Princess Guantao. When it comes to his difficult mother-in-law, Liu Che is not in a happy mood. Recently, Liu Che has been lingering in bed without leaving home.  , seems to be more honest than before, and the emperor does not intend to let it go. ¡°My aunt¡¯s Tangmuyi has 20,000 households. If I don¡¯t have any children, I don¡¯t need to be so luxurious. I will leave 10,000 households for my aunt to take care of in her old age, and the remaining 10,000 households will be merged.  In the counties, the counties that have given out rewards again and again are back again!  There is also the Changmen Garden adjacent to the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the south of the city. I plan to give my aunt a million dollars to buy the garden and convert it into Changmen Palace as a palace outside the city. In the future, I can rest outside the city when I go out for sacrifices and hunting.  " The Queen Mother reminded: "The Emperor has thought very carefully. Empress Chen needs to explain more to avoid discord between the Emperor and his wife.  " "The child does not matter, the queen is my married wife. As long as she abides by her duties, I don't mind letting her be the Queen of Peace, just like Queen Bo back then.  "Liu Che made a statement. "The Queen Mother and Wang Nan finally showed a satisfied smile. The sixteen-year-old emperor was much taller than last year. He became more and more like the handsome and upright late emperor. In less than ten years, he will be like his father.  , and became a great emperor who could dominate the sky. Her child finally grew up. (To be continued) ps: The title was added. Princess Pingyang in history was not so lucky. I don¡¯t know whether it was good luck or not.  Bad luck
