Chapter 0118: King of Yan Zhao

Of course, Liu Hong knows what kind of person Uncle Tian is.

Tian Shu Tian Ziqing, a descendant of the Tian clan of Qi during the Warring States Period, likes swordsmanship, studied Huang Laoxue under the door of Le Jugong, is a tough and honest person, and does not associate with non-virtuous and respected people...

But for Liu Hong, whether Uncle Tian likes to play with swords, is born in Huang Lao, or has a habit of moral cleanliness, or even whether he really made a fortune by robbing tombs as recorded in "Historical Records: The Biography of Goods and Colonies", it is not the point.

The real point is: Uncle Tian is the guest of the late King Zhao and Zhang Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping!

Zhang Ao, Marquis of Xuanping, the son of Zhang Er, the king of Zhao, participated in the uprisings of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang with his father Zhang Er at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and was even named the king of Chengdu by Chen Sheng.

In the fifth year of Gaozu, Zhang Er passed away, and Zhang Ao inherited the throne of King Zhao and married the daughter of Liu Bang and Empress Lu: Princess Lu Yuan.

In other words, even if Zhang Ao lost the throne in the seventh year of Gaozu and was demoted to the Marquis of Xuanping, he still couldn't change the fact that he was Liu Bang's son-in-law!

Liu Hong, as Liu Bang's grandson, it seems that his grandfather's son-in-law Zhang Ao has little to do with Liu Hong?

The relationship here is bigger!

——The eldest daughter born to Zhang Ao and Princess Lu Yuan, it is Empress Xiaohui who still lives in the deep palace at this time, and Liu Hong's theoretical mother: Zhang Yan!

In other words, Uncle Tian, as Zhang Ao's protégé, can actually be understood as Liu Hong's 'mother' Zhang Yan!

If Uncle Tian is really allowed to enter the court smoothly, he will be appointed as Jiuqing...

Reluctantly suppressed the excitement in his heart, Liu Hong used all his strength to calm down his tone: "With Uncle Hanzhong as the young man, what does the prime minister think?" ”

Chen Ping, who was kneeling in the left class and was closing his eyes to recuperate, heard the words, slowly got up, and bowed to Liu Hong: "The minister is foolish, or it is a good choice..."

Seeing Chen Ping spit out these words with a tangled face, Liu Hong's heart was settled!

Quickly glancing at the worm behind him who was serving as a guard, Liu Hong reluctantly made an indifferent face: "In this case, Feng Chang will draft an edict and present it to me." ”

Liu Hong was very sure of the impact of Uncle Tian's entry into the center, and Chen Ping also thought about it.

But this thing, hehe...

Not to mention Chen Ping's identity as the prime minister, even if Liu Hong is in power, he can't stop it!

Full of joy, the people of Tingwei and Shaofu were selected, and today's Chang Dynasty has come to an end.

When the play is over, the rest is innocuous questions.

For example, the appearance of the name Uncle Tian naturally led the topic of Chaoyi to the matter of the Kwantung princes - the disposition of the vassal states.

In history, from the death of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty Liu Ying to the accession of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng in the eight years, the most criticized point of Empress Lu was that he wantonly divided the children of the Lu family into princes with different surnames.

The two most important of them are undoubtedly Yan and Zhao!

Yan State, after the first Yan King Zang Tu rebelled and was dismissed, and the second Yan King Lu Juan fled to the Xiongnu with his family, he became the fief of the Lu family's children in the first year of the former young emperor's accession to the throne - the third Yan King of the Western Han Dynasty: Lu Tong.

Zhao Guo, also after Zhang Er, Zhang Ao and his son, Liu Bang's third son Liu Ruyi, sixth son Liu You, and fifth son Liu Hui, became Lu Lu's feudal state in the sixth generation.

Yan and Zhao, since the Warring States period, have been the indispensable 'source of soldiers' in the Central Plains.

Now that the Lu clan has all been beheaded, Lu Lu and Lu Tong have all died under the knife of the Xulu group, and the disposal of the two princely kingdoms of Yan and Zhao is placed in front of Liu Hong.

In the original history, after Emperor Wen entered Chang'an to inherit the unification, the princes and kings of Yan and Zhao were in the hands of Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and other powerful ministers.

But in this life, after Liu Hong became the Later Young Emperor and survived smoothly, the situation was different.

The reason why Emperor Wen Liu Heng demanded from the powerful ministers of the court, and did not hesitate to kill Chen Ping as the goal, until Chen Ping died, was because Liu Heng won the throne, which was not very legal in itself.

——As the son of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hengneng doesn't know what kind of person his brother Liu Ying is?

I don't know if the young emperor Liu Hong is the son of the elder brother!

Liu Heng not only knows this, but also understands in his heart: The reason why Liu Hong is 'not the son of Emperor Hui' is because Zhou Bo, Chen Ping and Lu Gongchen Group unanimously endorsed it!

In this case, how could Liu Heng not be afraid of Chen Ping and Zhou Bo?

In case these two people are forced to be anxious, especially Zhou Bo's reckless man, who turns around and burns the jade, revealing a sentence such as 'Emperor Hui, but the king of the king's coercion and us', then how can Liu Heng sit on the throne?

This is the real reason why Liu Heng has obviously confirmed Zhou Bo's charge of 'secretly storing armor' and detained him, but he still listened to the persuasion of his mother, Empress Dowager Bo, and released Zhou Bo from Tingwei Prison, so that Zhou Bo had the opportunity to say the sentence 'I know the value of jailers today'.

——The legitimacy of Liu Heng's throne is guaranteed by Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and other members of the Xulu Group!

Once Zhou Bo is at fault, then according to the convention of 'what is wrong in the political arena, it is not the thing, but the person', everything about Zhou Bo will be denied, including the first initiative to punish Zhu Lu, and 'Emperor Hui of Shangfei'!

Compared with Liu Heng, who is 'short of people' in history, Liu Hong doesn't have so many scruples - the roots of the master are red, and Emperor Taizu Gao is also in the lineage!

If one day, Liu Hong and Chen Ping get involved, all they need to worry about is the identity of Chen Ping and Zhou Bo as 'Emperor Gao's meritorious minister' and 'auxiliary minister appointed by Taizu'.

This concern is undoubtedly nothing compared to the 'imperial throne jurisprudence' that Liu Heng feared in history; if Liu Hong can catch evidence such as Zhou Bo's private armor, it can be completely punished!

Therefore, for the disposal of the two vassal states of Yan and Zhao, Liu Hong also does not need to look at the faces of Chen Ping and Zhou Bo - dividing the princes surnamed Liu is a family matter of the old Liu family!

There is no need to discuss with Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, two outsiders!

Of course, Liu Hong still didn't dare to directly depose these two vassal states and abolish them as counties - the abolition of the country into counties could only be done smoothly after the princes and kings rebelled and were suppressed by the central government.

The two countries of Yan and Zhao belong to the category of the Lu family's relatives stealing power, and the princes and kings who originally sat on the throne of these two kingdoms were not at fault at all, and Liu Hong had no reason to depose these two feudal states.

But the appointment of the princes of these two kingdoms is also a matter of careful consideration.

Not to mention how well the Liu clan can govern the country, at least not like Liu Bang's second brother Liu Xi, as soon as the Huns came, they threw the entire feudal country down and ran back to Chang'an, right?

——The northern defense line of Yan and Zhao can occupy two-thirds of the defense line of the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty!

Therefore, Liu Hong needs to send two Liu clan relatives who are strong enough and loyal enough to Liu Hong to guard the frontier for Liu Hong - adjacent to the border wall, so that the princes and kings of these two kingdoms can not only not be cowardly, but also not too bold.

At least not like Han Wangxin, who was so bold that he was eye-to-eye with the Huns, raised his own respect, and fled to the Xiongnu as soon as he was discovered by Chang'an.

This requires Liu Hong to think carefully, and even consult the elders of the clan - Liu Hong really can't think of who else in the clan surnamed Liu can be used after Empress Lu killed Emperor Gao's sons one by one.
