"You are a rich man, and you can be a marquis in three years... If you can become the prime minister in eight years, your popularity will be perfect. But in another nine years, you will starve to death."

"I definitely won't be a marquis. I'm not the eldest son who can't inherit my father's title. Even if my elder brother dies, my nephew will naturally inherit it. As for you saying I will starve to death, that's even more a joke since I will be rich and powerful. How could I starve to death? Mr. Sima is exaggerating again."

"There is a vertical stripe on your mouth that is connected to the corner of your mouth. This is a starving face."

Zhou Yafu leaned against the cold wall of the cell and had just been tortured. There was no strength in his body, and the scene when Sima Jizhu looked at him was revealed in his mind.

It really worked. The eldest brother Zhou Shengzhi was dismissed from his title for his crime. The late emperor thought of his father's merits and specially returned the title to the Zhou family. Zhou Yafu was named Marquis of Jiang, confirming the criticism in the first paragraph.

Xiliu was named the Grand Marshal and then became the powerful prime minister. It seemed that he had forgotten this criticism and was still recalling it again today.

"Heaven and earth are furnaces, creation are labor. Yin and Yang are carbon, and all things are copper."

After Sima Jizhu recited, he laughed and walked away. It seemed that it was yesterday. Zhou Yafu closed his eyes. He now experienced the torment. His throat hurt so much. Drinking a sip of water was like swallowing a piece of burning charcoal. The phlegm he spit out was yellow and green, as textured as green jade.

He was so hungry that he could neither eat nor wanted to eat. Zhou Yafu felt that this soul had left his body, and now he was suffering only a body.

I have seen too many killings in my life and too many deaths. I have also thought that I had various ways of dying, but the only thing I didn’t expect was to starve to death. Maybe this is fate. After drawing a circle of three flat and four unrounds, I stubbornly returned to the position where it sets off.

In the sixth year of Emperor Jing, Zhou Yafu, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, died of a hunger strike at the Tingwei office at the age of 44.

When the news of Zhou Yafu's death reached the Yun family, Yun Xiao was having a meal.

He gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up silently, touched his daughter's little face, and walked out sadly.

It is not about heroes cherishing each other but about the death of rabbits and foxes. Rights are a black hole that devours human lives. No matter how amazing you and your family have done, you can't escape the fate of death and death. Zhou Yafu is a living example. If you don't want to die, you have to take over the right to control the world from the hands of the royal family. From this point of view, Zhou Yafu's fate is a matter of time.

Even if he successfully rebelled with King Liang, King Liang would not let the rebel hero die. From the day Zhou Yafu met Gongsun Gui, he was destined to die abnormally.

How do you go your own way? The higher the status, the more you will pay attention to you. It is a luxury to hide and live a happy life. Every grass and tree in this land is ruled by the Liu family, including if you cannot walk a path of your own. Then if you follow the current path, the Yun family will have only two endings in the end. One is to be killed by the royal suspicion and casual attacks. The other is to rebel.

Looking at the peaceful and stable people in Lintong under his feet, Yun Xiao fell into long-term contemplation.

"Mom, this is Zhou Yafu's confession before his death. I've been asked to do it, and the third brother has someone to do it."

In the Palace of Gods, Liu Qi placed a few pages of paper on the empress dowager's desk.

"I can't see it if you give it to me. Since the third brother did such a thing, he must accept punishment. No matter how you do, you must remember one thing. Liu will not kill Liu, this is the ancestral teaching set by Emperor Gaozu. The purpose is to avoid the murder of descendants and descendants."

The Empress Dowager looked calm and calm. From the very beginning, she guessed that this was done by Liu Wu.

"Mom, if they succeed in seizing the palace, will they also pay attention to the ancestral teachings of the children?"

Liu Qihuo stood up, and his anger made Liu Qi's face flushed red.

"If Awu really succeeds in seizing the palace, the old man will be the first to refuse to agree. The inheritance of the empire cannot be done by bleeding. If it is bleeding, the descendants will rush to imitate it. The inheritance of the emperors in the future will be full of blood. If it is such a great man, it will be over."

Liu Qi sat down helplessly and looked at the excited empress dowager.

"The military power of Liang State was removed, and the third brother was allowed to have only twenty person guards in the future. He lived in Liang State forever and was not allowed to enter the capital. He could not leave his fiefdom unless the imperial edict was issued."

Liu Qi set out the final conditions, which was his bottom line and the price that King Liang had to pay. Liu Qi would not let Liu Wu have another soldier, and leaving him twenty guards was considered to be the ultimate righteousness.

"Why is this? I'm tragic for this position. When Empress Lu arrived at the court, the vassal kings killed Lu. How bloody it was. But after all, it was an outsider. How could Awu attack his own brother? How could he..."

The empress dowager screamed in pain, and her pair of yellow hands slapped the table and made a sound. A few drops of turbid tears flowed out of her empty eyes.

"Everyone pursues rabbits in the wild, but few people are interested in rabbits in the market. Why? Because rabbits in the market already have a status, but rabbits in the wild have no status.

The problem now is to set the title down, and I originally wanted to take a look. Now it seems that the prince will not be established for a day. This person's heart will not be stable for a day. I will decide to announce it to the world tomorrow and make the tenth prince of the emperor, Liu Yu, the king of Jiaodong, the crown prince.

Uh... This pig sounds bad. The prince of the current dynasty cannot call him a pig, just call him Liu Che."

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and kept silent, which was considered to be accustomed to Liu Qi's decision.

In the sixth year of Emperor Jing, Liu Qi officially enthroned the Prince of Jiaodong Liu Yu and gave him the name Liu Che. He was a great man of Han Wu, and officially appeared on the historical stage.

The enthronement ceremony was very grand, and the courtiers were in the hatchback. Looking at the new owner of the East Palace, he walked step by step towards the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty. After Liu Qi's death, he legally inherited that position.

The heir of the empire showed maturity that was not commensurate with his age. According to etiquette, Liu Che climbed the 108 steps of the Weiyang Palace step by step. He walked towards his father and towards the supreme power of the Han Dynasty.

And finally he took that position, and his name was engraved on Chinese historical books from this moment. His country name became a name that lasted for thousands of years, and he gave a nation the confidence to stand tall for thousands of years. He gave the Han nation an unprecedented dignity, and from this moment on the history of the Han Empire and the entire world will change.
