Chapter 0120: Comfort the King
Returning from the Xuanshu Hall to the Greenhouse Palace, not long after Liu Hong sat down, a waiter came to report: The king of the two children entered the palace to meet him.
Liu Hong shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Xuan." β
A moment later, Liu Heng appeared in front of Liu Hong with Liu Qi, who was less than ten years old at the time, and Liu Wu, who was only five years old at this time.
"On behalf of Wang Chenheng, I will meet Your Majesty."
After Liu Heng bowed and bowed, Liu Qi, the little Liu Qi on the right side of Liu Heng, also bowed and bowed in a similar manner: "On behalf of the crown prince and Chen Qi, I will meet Your Majesty, my emperor will live forever." β
Looking at the famous Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty in history, holding the hand of King Liang Xiao, who was carved in pink and jade, and obediently bowing to himself, the girlish heart in Liu Hong's heart burst uncontrollably again.
Barely maintaining his demeanor, he touched Xiao Liu Qi's head with a smile, and Liu Hong naturally picked up Liu Wu from under his armpit: "Hey! Ah Wu is a little heavier! β
With a tender face teasing the cute little Liu Wu, Liu Hong looked at Liu Heng with soft eyes: "Uncle Wang came just in time, I still have something to do, I have to ask Uncle Wang." β
Seeing that Liu Hongman was full of joy, Liu Heng's words on his lips suddenly choked, and he could only arch his hand again: "Your Majesty, it doesn't hurt to say anything." β
Liu Hong was full of joy, hugged Liu Wu and walked towards the royal collapse, sat on the royal collapse, and motioned for Liu Heng to sit over: "Uncle Wang doesn't need to pay attention to such a false courtesy, today, regardless of the monarch and minister, only the friendship between uncle and nephew." β
Hearing this, Liu Heng Muran nodded, but he still didn't dare to sit next to Liu Hong, but took Liu Qi's hand and stood slightly on the side of the collapse.
Shaking his head helplessly, Liu Hongzheng wanted to persuade again, so he heard Liu Heng speak: "Your Majesty, the minister is here to ask for resignation." β
As he spoke, Liu Heng slowly knelt down: "Thanks to Your Majesty's holy family, I have comforted my ministers in Chang'an so far; However, it is now the first month of spring, and the ministers dare not look at the ancestral ritual law as nothing. β
"It is reasonable to be reasonable, the ministers should not stay in Chang'an anymore, and please ask Your Majesty to allow the ministers to go to the country..."
Saying that, Liu Heng took the hand of his eldest son Liu Qi without hesitation, and dragged Liu Qi in front of Liu Hong: "Your Majesty's holy family, with the pro-religion ministers and dogs, the ministers are only stunned, and thank God for his grace..."
Looking at the faint uneasiness in Liu Heng's eyes, Liu Hong let out a long sigh and stepped forward to pull Liu Heng up from the ground.
Liu Heng's purpose for entering the palace this time, even if Liu Heng didn't open his mouth, Liu Hong could guess a rough idea.
ββLeft and right just heard that in the early dynasty, Liu Hong ordered Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, to take the country, but on the grounds of 'missing the king', Liu Heng was left in Chang'an; Liu Heng suddenly trembled, worried that Liu Xiang would be unhappy, and was afraid that the Kwantung princes would be jealous, so he hurried into the palace and asked Liu Hong for his resignation.
In this regard, Liu Hong is actually happy to see it.
ββFor Emperor Wen in history, Liu Hong can't be too cautious!
But Liu Hong doesn't have to regard Liu Heng as a beast of the wilderness just because he became Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty in history, and he will be strictly guarded against it.
Especially at this time, Liu Hong's courtiers are not enough, and his henchmen are not enough, even reliable relatives can't find two now, Liu Heng's use value is still very high.
Of course, since it was decided to use the historical Han Emperor Liu Heng, Liu Hong also had to ensure that Liu Heng could only become a loyal Liu prince in this timeline; Liu Heng was isolated by the princes and kings, but it could make Liu Hong more at ease.
Looking at Liu Qi, who was pushed forward by Liu Heng without reluctance, Liu Hong was even more secretly suspicious: Perhaps, the incident recorded in history is true...
Shaking his head and pulling his thoughts back, Liu Hong thought about how to open his mouth so that Liu Heng could understand his hard work.
Leaving Liu Heng in Chang'an for a few more days is naturally not such a ridiculous reason as Liu Hong's words of 'missing the king' and 'wanting to stay for a few more days to talk about the friendship between uncle and nephew'.
- Liu Hong just wanted Liu Heng and Liu Xiang to leave Chang'an at a staggered time, and to withdraw Liu Heng from the suspicion of 'watching Dabao'.
Of course, asking Liu Heng about the situation of the clan is also one of Liu Hong's considerations.
But it is absolutely impossible for Liu Hong to say to Liu Heng directly: I can't let Uncle Wang leave with King Qi!
After thinking for a moment, Liu Hong had no choice but to sigh and say, "Uncle Wang should have heard that I want to seal the internal history and make the servant a marquis?" β
Seeing Liu Heng nodded, Liu Hong made a bitter expression: "The first emperor's father died early, and I came to the world in my young age; The Queen Mother has also returned to heaven, there are no elders in the country, and I am very worried. β
"If Uncle Wang is in the country in the near future, I am afraid that on the day of the ancestor worship to the temple, there will be no clan elder to supervise the town..."
Che Hou, as the second-level title of the Han Jue after the 'prince king', his social status and political status are much higher than that of the marquis of later generations.
Especially at this time, when there is no possibility of becoming a prince or king with a non-Liu surname, it is the highest pursuit of any courtier with a non-Liu surname!
As the highest title that a courtier of the Han dynasty could actually obtain, the Hou class was also of unparalleled importance to the regime.
ββThe thorough class of the Western Han Dynasty is not a meritorious nobleman who will be raised as a wine bag and rice bag in later generations!
Every adult is theoretically qualified to serve as the prime minister of the Han family!
Even if it is other soy sauce that is not successful, famous, and not very close to the emperor, it is not a rice worm that can enjoy the feudal state by eating all day and waiting for death.
When a war breaks out, whether it is an internal rebellion or a foreign invasion, the waiting class has to pay out of their own pockets, bring their soldiers and retainers, and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in a compulsory manner!
Don't say that you don't go to the battlefield, even if you go to the battlefield, but the combat exploits you have achieved do not meet the standards, you will also be punished - a fine at the lightest, and a loss of food and even a knighthood!
Moreover, although the Western Han Chehou class was called Hou, its fiefdom was a real fief - although it was not as private as the princes and kings, but in the fiefdom, Chehou's influence was definitely not limited to the annual tax of 120 yuan per household!
Unlike the honorary marquis of the nature of honor in later generations, the thorough class of the Western Han Dynasty was more like the shareholders of this company called the 'Great Han Empire'.
Every shareholder has the right to interfere in the affairs of the company; Similarly, if the company has problems, every shareholder must also contribute to ensure that the company successfully survives the crisis and develops in a better direction.
This also ensured to some extent that the noble class of the Western Han Dynasty, although it still failed to avoid corruption, its corruption rate was much lower than that of later generations; In the second and even third generations, there can still be famous generals like Zhou Yafu.
And such a lofty marquis title is naturally not something that can be sealed by an edict from the emperor.
According to the normal process, the emperor must first determine the feudal food estate, and then Fengchang will select the county with the right population - just like this time, Liu Hong sealed 1,000 food estates for Liu Jie, and the work of Fengchang Yamen in recent days is to find about 1,000 counties and townships with household registration in the entire Han territory.
After the fiefdom is determined, the Marquis of Feng Che has one last procedure, and the title of the recipient has legal benefits - worship the ancestors and sue the temple!
Presented three animals to the ancestors for blood food, and told Liu Bang by the way: Our old Liu family has another courtier.
In layman's terms, it is Liu Hong, the current chairman of the Han Empire, who reported to Liu Bang, the founder of the company: the company has a new shareholder and a new member of the board of directors.
The major affairs of the country are only worship and Rong.
In this era, the sacrifice of ancestors is more important than war!
Therefore, Liu Hong used this as an excuse to leave Liu Heng, which was barely reasonable - I was young, and it was important to sacrifice my ancestors, and I asked Uncle Wang to help me suppress the field.
Sure enough, when Liu Heng heard this, he only thought for a moment, and then bowed his hand again: "In this case, Your Majesty's holy message." β
