After ordering someone to send the edict, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was not as happy as before.

Instead, he ordered Wang Yan to hang a huge map made of cowhides in the Qilin Hall of the dormitory.

This map is still the only map drawn by Emperor Wen when he ordered Shaofu to send people to travel all over the territory of the Han family.

The Son of Heaven looked at the map with a distracted gaze, and said to himself: "The five kingdoms of Wu and Chu have been eliminated, and in a few years, the world of my Han family will be determined."

However, after finishing speaking, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, coughed violently, sat on the seat, and after relieving for a long time, he could be regarded as relieved.

looked up and glanced at the hanging in the hall again, but saw Liu Qi, the son of heaven, say again, "Time doesn't wait for me, it seems that I am going to speed up my pace............

"Father, I will definitely complete your unfinished business, and the world will be in peace! Punish the Huns! ”。

At this time, I only heard a squeak, and a gap opened in the door of the palace, and I saw Wang Yan walking in with something on a tray, and walked to the front of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, and said: "Your Majesty, it's time to take the decoction."

As soon as he saw this decoction, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, remembered that the taste of this medicine was sour and difficult to swallow, but as soon as he thought of his father's dying request, Liu Qi picked it up and drank it all.

Putting down the lacquer bowl in his hand, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said to Wang Yan: "Hurry up and spread the news that the Marquis of Dangyang is here!" ”。

"No!" , Wang Yan arched his hand and said.

When he stretched out his hand and was about to open the door of the palace, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said again: "Wait, call Liu Rong too!" ”。

"Yes!".

At this time, because it was a cold winter, Liu Rong was reading in the palace, next to the stove, but he heard the king's voice come to report: "Your Highness, the prince has arrived."

Hearing that it was Wang Yan coming, Liu Rong didn't have to think about it to know that Wang Yan must have come to pass on his father's summons.

After immediately putting down the bamboo slip in his hand, he went to the gate of the palace with Wang Sheng, and saw Wang Yan in front of the door.

Liu Rong smiled and said, "What's the matter with the prince?" ”。

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has an order, and I order you to go to the Qilin Hall as soon as possible."

Then, Liu Rong said: "Then thank the king for announcing that what if the prince walked with me?" ”。

However, Wang Yan smiled and saluted: "Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Majesty also ordered your ministers to pass the edict to be the Marquis of Yang, but you can't follow it."

"I see".

"Your Royal Highness Xie, the minister will retire here", after speaking, Wang Yan turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Wang Yan's departure, Liu Rong said secretly: Dad called me to go with the teacher, but I don't know what to do?

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a reason, so Liu Rong had to go to the Qilin Hall first.

As soon as he entered the hall, Liu Rong first saw this incomparably huge map, which was much larger than the map of the land of Wu Chu a few months ago.

I don't know who drew it.

Then Liu Rong saluted and said: "Son Liu Rong, meet my father."

"Rong'er is here, give me a seat!".

"Thank you".

After the palace maid took it and Liu Rong sat down, he said, "I don't know what happened to my father and son here?" ”。

"Rong'er, don't worry, when the Marquis of Dangyang arrives, you can know."

Dad said so, Liu Rong naturally had to wait, "No! ”。

After a while, I saw Wang Yan enter the palace and said, "Your Majesty, when the Marquis of Yang is already waiting outside the palace."

"Xuan!".

But after a while, Jia Yi entered the hall and saluted: "Minister Jia Yi to see Your Majesty."

"When the Marquis of Yang is exempt from the ceremony, give the seat".

After Jia Yi sat down, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said: "I summoned Dang Yanghou here today, because I have something to ask."

"I should hope that Your Majesty will make it clear, and the minister must know everything."

Hearing this, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, smiled and said: "Since a few months ago, after quelling the rebellion of the Five Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, the courtiers have been arguing whether to re-establish this vassal state.

However, Chao Qing and others said that they wanted to seal the country as a county, while Wei Qihou and Yuan Ang and others disagreed, and said that this feudal country was established by Emperor Gao, and it must be established again, I don't know what Qing thinks? ”。

……………………………………………………………………

Jia Yi naturally saw what Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, meant, but when the Son of Heaven asked, he naturally wanted to say, "The ministers think that the princes and kings cannot be established again!" ”。

"Oh? Why is it?", Liu Qifeng said with a smile.

"In the humble opinion of the ministers, the previous words of the imperial historian are not bad, since the Wen Dynasty to the succession of His Majesty, there are seven princes and kings in the world.

During the time of Emperor Wen, Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, was arrogant and arrogant to rebel, and then Liu Xingju, the king of Jibei, took advantage of the war between the imperial court and the Xiongnu to send troops to rebel. However, it has only been three years since His Majesty ascended the throne, and then there were five kingdoms of Wu Chu, Jiaoxi, Zichuan, and Jiaodong to rebel.

These rebellions were the most serious rebellion of the Five Kingdoms of Wu and Chu a few months ago, and the war extended to most of the territory of our Han family, almost destroying the Han Dynasty established by Emperor Gao.

In the "Public Security Policy" played by Emperor Xianxiaowen to Emperor Xian Xiaowen back then, there was a reason, that is, the princes and kings of the world, whoever is stronger will rebel

Of course, the royal family of Zhou lost control of the princes, which led to the collapse of etiquette and the country.

In this regard, in the opinion of the ministers, Your Majesty should agree with the advice of the Imperial Historian and abolish the feudal state and establish counties."

Hearing Jia Yi's words, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, naturally couldn't stop nodding.

And Jia Yi's advice is exactly the same as what Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, thought, is to no longer establish the kings of Wu and Chu, and to include all the ten counties in the imperial court..............................

However, at this point, Liu Rong finally knew what his father meant by calling the teacher here.

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, looked at Liu Rong next to him and asked, "What does Rong'er think, what did Yanghou say?" ”。

"My son thinks so!"

After finishing speaking, he saw Liu Rong and said: "Father, the son still has a word, or it is feasible."

"Why?".

Liu Rongyi arched his hand and said: "The teacher has already had a strategy to solve the problem of the princes and kings, that is, the princes of the public are built and their strength is less, before the rebellion of Wu Chu, the princes and kings of the world are huge and intertwined, but it is difficult to do this strategy at that time."

But at this time, it is different, the most powerful King Wu and King Chu rebelled and committed suicide, if the father and emperor implement this policy at this time, no one in the world will dare to oppose it! ”。

Liu Rong said, in the eyes of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, is also the case, now the princes and kings of the entire Han family are no longer able to unite and rebel against the imperial court, and within a few generations of the implementation of this strategy of "building princes and less their strength", the princes and kings of the entire Han family will be divided into pieces, and they will no longer have any impact on the imperial court.

"Building the princes and less their strength" is indeed a soft knife, and it is forcing the princes and kings to pick up this knife and cut the flesh on their bodies, of course they don't want it.

But the princes and kings were unwilling, and his sons did not think so, and at first, according to the law of etiquette, only the eldest son was eligible to inherit the throne of the princes, and the rest of the concubines had only two ways out. First, after the death of the previous princes and kings, after the eldest son inherited the throne, he would divide a part of the family property with these concubines, as long as he did not act arbitrarily, it was still feasible to be a rich man for the rest of his life.

The two are to find ways to serve in the imperial court and become officials. The sons and heirs of the princes and kings are also royal relatives and nobles, and it is indeed much easier to be an official than a person from the common people in cloth, but it is extremely difficult to be a high-ranking official with more than 2,000 stones.

The Son of Heaven will not put the royal family in the position of the third prince at any time, and if the relatives are out of control, there may be room for remedy.

If the imperial faction is out of control, it will be a big trouble, they are all the heirs of Emperor Gao, and naturally they all have a certain right of inheritance, if he is too powerful in the court, he will have the idea of wanting to be a son of heaven!

However, among the nine Qings, there is only Zongzheng, and such an official position in charge of the emperor's relatives or relatives and nobles has always been done by the Liu family's royal family.

But in the past few decades, there have only been two people who have succeeded as Zongzheng, one of them is Liu Yingke, the king of Chuyi, and the other is the current Zongzheng Liu Li............

However, with this law, it is different, the crown prince inherits the throne of the princes, and the rest of the sons can divide a piece of land to be a little king, even if there are only a few county kings, it is better than being a rich man.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, seemed to have seen it, and ordered that the concubines of the princes and kings of the world would go crazy and beg their father to divide a fief to them............

This is Jia Yi also said: "What His Royal Highness said is good, this is a good time to do this" all the princes and less their strength", and Your Majesty has ordered the princes and kings to go to Chang'an, why not take this opportunity to try it."

"What Rong'er and Jia Qing said is very good".

Seeing that his father agreed, Liu Rong smiled, took out two bamboo slips from his arms, and said: "This is the son's subordinate lord father Yan in the court office, based on the teacher's words "all build princes and less their strength" as the basis of the edict! ”。

Then Liu Rong handed over a volume to Wang Yan and asked him to forward it to his father, and ordered a volume to Jia Yi who was sitting on Liu Rong's side.

I saw that the ancients and princes were only a hundred miles, and the shape of strength and weakness was easy to control. Today, the princes or dozens of cities, thousands of miles of places, slow is arrogant and extravagant, easy to fornicate, disorderly, urgent to prevent it from strong and subordinate to the Beijing division. Only in this way will there be a conspiration between Wu and Chu and the five countries to do the opposite.

Now cut it by law, then the reverse section sprouts, and the day before yesterday is wrong. Now the children of the princes or tens, and the right heirs to stand, although the rest of the flesh and bones, no size of the land sealed, then the way of benevolence and filial piety is not declared. May Your Majesty order the princes to push the brothers of the Grace Brothers, and the Marquis of the Land. Everyone is happy to get what they want, and they are divided into countries with virtue, and they are not cut but slightly weaker.

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, laughed and said: "What a 'everyone likes what they want, they give with virtue, and divide their country',"

After speaking, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, seemed to have seen that at that time, the princes of the world had been separated, and there was no more than one county, and the call of the Son of Heaven came out of Chang'an, north to the Great Wall, and south to the guests of the Bohai Sea, and no one in the world dared to disobey it.

For the princes and kings, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, both loved and hated, and loved it, when Zhulu was in turmoil, it was indeed because Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, and others first raised troops to serve the king, so that the artifact of the Han family was finally preserved.

Hate is hate, these princes and kings are all troublemakers, and they want to do something at every turn, which makes the Son of Heaven have a headache, and they can't easily deal with it.

If one is not good, the world will spread rumors that the Son of Heaven does not treat his siblings of the same sect well.

Anyway, I will finish all this kind of thing, and all the merits and demerits will be commented on by future generations!

When the case is decided, "After the princes and kings all go to Chang'an to sacrifice, I will do it!" ”。
