Chapter 0068
The second and most important point: Shen Tujia is an old minister of the Four Dynasties!
Shen Tujia's title, that is with Emperor Gao in all directions, one knife and one shot!
Liu Qi didn't dare to move because the princes and kings were his uncles and uncles; The first emperor did not dare to move because the princes and kings were his brothers; So what if it's Shentu Jiadong?
What if Shen Tujia came forward as an old minister of Emperor Gao, plus a minister who was a lonely minister and the prime minister of the dynasty, advocated cutting the feudal domain, and wanted to educate the disobedient sons for the ancestor Liu Bang?
- I, Shen Tujia, for the sake of my big brother Liu Bang's world, on behalf of my big brother, clean up you ignorant stinky boys!
Perfect for circumventing ritual issues!
Now that Shen Tujia took the initiative to come to Liu Qi, with a vague intention of shaking hands and making peace, it is no wonder that Liu Qi is so happy.
The next question is much simpler, negotiation.
Liu Qi pretended to be playing chess with great interest, but his brain was running rapidly, thinking about the conditions that Shen Tujia might want.
After thinking about it for a long time, he vaguely guessed a few, and seeing that Shen Tujia didn't take the initiative to speak, Liu Qi had no choice but to move first.
"I heard that the prime minister has a son, and he called: Mao; The reviews are very good~"
Hearing this, Shen Tujia sighed in his heart: "Your Majesty praises falsely, the dog only knows how to shake his head and study the scriptures on weekdays; When the old minister thought of this, he felt that this son was not like me..."
Liu Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Tujia in surprise: "Xiwen? What a good thing! ”
"If you are stable today, the court is the time when you need to read poetry and books~"
Changing to a ridiculous tone, Liu Qihe laughed and said: "Even if the prime minister is a military general, don't be too harsh on the younger generations~"
Listening to Liu Qi's ridicule, Shen Tujia knew in his heart: Your Majesty wants to arrange a future for his son in exchange for his own support...
The problem is that the reason why Shen Tujia opposes the cutting of the feudal policy is not that he wants to change to something...
To be precise, what he wants to change has nothing to do with him.
After considering the words, Shen Tujia put the chess pieces back into the chess jar in his hand, sighed slightly, and said: "The dog is over half a hundred years old, and he is silent in the way of waiting..."
Listening to Shen Tujia's sighs, the corners of Liu Qi's mouth twitched violently.
Zhang Liang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was sealed and waited for because of his work from the dragon; After Liu Bang ascended the throne, he went into seclusion, indulged in the way of Zhuangzi, and hid in the mountains to refine pills and cultivate immortals.
In other words, Shen Tujia's son is already a little old man who thinks about feathering and ascending to immortality all day long...
Holding back the unhappiness in his heart, Liu Qi was about to change his conditions, but Shen Tujia spoke first: "Your Majesty, the ministers oppose the cutting of the feudal domain, because they are worried that the world will be turbulent, the war will be raging, and the people will have no peace..."
As he spoke, Shen Tujia laboriously knelt on the ground: "The disadvantages of the princes' tails are not lost, and they have been there since the time of Emperor Gao; However, even if he is as virtuous as the first emperor, he is not so eager for quick success, and he will lead the living soul to misery, Your Majesty! ”
"The old minister is courageous, and I beg your majesty to think twice: the princes are powerful, and they must not be too excited; When you think about it carefully, slow down, and Xu Tuzhi, it is the best policy..."
"Your Majesty~"
Listening to Shen Tujia's bloody plea, Liu Qi realized that he seemed to be wrong.
It's not that it's wrong to cut the domain, but it's that I mislooked at my own prime minister.
When he was the first emperor, seeing that Shen Tujia was ruthless with an iron face and carried out the strategy agreed by the court step by step, Liu Qi thought that this was a stubborn old man.
After ascending the throne, when he just took control of the military power and planned to cut the domain, Shen Tujia jumped out with hundreds of officials in the court to sing the opposite, and Liu Qi felt that Shen Tujia, like most courtiers, only cared about his own gains and losses, and only thought about his own reputation as a selfish ghost!
It was only at this moment that he realized what a wise person the first emperor father was.
Daddy's last words before his death came back to Liu Qi's heart...
- Qi'er, after I make a big trip, the burden of the country will be on you, remember what I said: military power must be held in your own hands, in order to control the situation at a critical moment...
Dad knows you have a lot of ideas, okay, good.
I, Liu, have always been afraid that the emperor will have many ideas, but I am afraid that the emperor will not dare to have ideas.
But from now on, you will be the emperor, and every decision will determine the fate of tens of millions of people; Don't take decisions for granted, say less and do less, see more and think more; Everything is decided and then moved, and I discuss it with the ministers...
Prime Minister Shen Tujia, ascending to the heights, unlike other courtiers, he really keeps Emperor Gao's kindness in his heart, and will not do anything harmful to my Liu family, you have to refer to his words more...
Chao Cuo, although he is a loyal minister, and his suggestions are basically beneficial to the country, but his people are anxious and too arrogant; Shen Tujia is old and steady, looks at problems without caring overnight, and considers the perspective of the family, the country, the world, and future generations, which is the real arm of my Liu family...
Dad knows~ You and Liu Bi have had a grudge for many years, and Dad won't persuade you to endure it, no emperor in my Liu family is sitting firmly in the world by swallowing his anger... If there are changes in the world in the future, when you have to use a knife, Zhou Yafu can take the lead and fight the rebellion for you...
Remember, the reason why my Han family can sit firmly in the country depends on the soldiers in their hands, the hearts of the people, and loyal ministers like Shen Tujia; If in the future, if you find that there are courtiers who will look at affairs from the perspective of the world and the time span of their descendants, then he either wants to be the next Pei Gong, or he is a minister like Shen Tu Jia...
If it's Pei Gong, then kill!
If it's a loyal minister, then use it!
In the future, you will be the master of this Han family, your father has protected you for more than 20 years, and you will have to rely on yourself in the future...
Go ahead, don't let Daddy down...
Liu Qi still remembers that when his father said this, he handed over the heirloom jade seal engraved by Yingzheng to himself, and then closed his eyes peacefully...
Two lines of tears fell quietly, and when Liu Qi found out, they were already scattered all over the chessboard.
Lowering his head, the elderly Shentu Jiarao was tired and kicked and shhh
Gently raising his hand and wiping the tears off his face with his sleeve, Liu Qi sorted out his manners, and swept the chessboard full of tears to the ground!
The sudden sound startled the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace to their knees and tremble; The samurai guards who rushed to hear the sound saw the scene in front of them and joined them: "Your Majesty is angry..."
On the royal steps, Liu Qi's face returned to tranquility, and then he said in a cold tone: "I know." ”
"Prime Minister, please go back."
The flat tone without the slightest emotion made the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling in the hall and the forbidden warriors all surprised-Your Majesty, who was angry just now, isn't this angry?
The Sacred Heart is really not something that ordinary people like us can see through...
But Shen Tujia knew in his heart that Liu Qi's tone declared that his patience with himself had been exhausted!
The rift between the monarch and the minister will never be repaired...
Swinging up, Shen Tujia bowed deeply, and slowly walked out of Weiyang Palace under the eyes of everyone in the hall.
Looking at the back of Shen Tujia leaving, and the decision when he said goodbye to himself, Liu Qi had mixed feelings in his heart.
That's right, Shen Tujia is a loyal minister, the kind of loyal minister who is completely desperate and only thinks about this great river and mountain for the Liu family!
But this means that he will never agree to the policy of cutting the feudal domain, allowing Liu Qi to try to solve the princes and kings by force, causing the world to fall into turmoil.
His principle is that the country is stable, and his heart is sincere and loyal; And this is also the reason why Liu Qi and he can no longer talk - the principles of the two sides are diametrically opposed, and the negotiations broke down.
It is impossible for Liu Qi to agree with Shen Tujia's proposition, what he wants is to surpass the attack of his father and ancestors, and to become a Ming Jun who will leave a name in history and solve the world's serious problems with a hard hand!
It's contradictory, it's complicated, but it's not incomprehensible – that's the heart of an emperor.
Anyone who stands in the way of the emperor's progress will become the object of the emperor's eradiation.
whether loyal or cunning; Whatever the reason for his obstruction.
"I don't know when I will be able to meet Shen Tujia again, loyal to the country..."
The lament in his heart is more like the tears left by a crocodile at this time - he will not give in.
Slowly walking down the imperial steps, waving his hand to prevent the guards behind him from following, Liu Qi ignored the people in the hall who knelt on the ground, and walked towards the harem alone - he felt very tired.
recalled that after ascending the throne, he grabbed the right to serve in the army, grabbed the right to speak, and even secretly broke his wrist with his grandmother; Now he has to fight with his courtiers and try to implement the policy of cutting the domain.
From the beginning of the complacency, to the later mourning; From the embarrassment of ascending to the throne without military power, to the anger of opposition to policies.
Until today, he realized for the first time that his father always laughed at himself during his lifetime: If you can be an ordinary person, who would want to be an emperor?
Listening to these at the time, Liu Qi still scoffed, feeling that his father was learning from Jack - I don't like money, I have no interest in money.
But now he finds that his mood is changing, his mood is changing, and even his ambitions are changing!
The only constant is tiredness.
Being an emperor, it's really tiring...
It's just the jealousy of the harem concubines and the sons; The opposition of the courtiers to one of his policies, and the disrespect of a few uncles to him, made him think about tea and dinner all day long, and he was heartbroken...
What about the future?
When the sons grew up, the concubines were annoyed that they wanted this and that; and other national events are pressed on the shoulders one by one, making people breathless; What about when the princes and kings are getting more and more excessive?
Even after his death, the sons of the princes and kings followed these uncles who were eyeing him to embarrass the new emperor he chose?
At that time, now these princes and kings have become the uncles of the emperor's son, can the emperor's son still be able to handle it?
Now he is just relying on the name of the first emperor and barely suppressing his courtiers, how should the emperor's son deal with it?
These alone have exhausted the emperor's son, so when will the matter of sweeping away the Huns be a head?
The more he thought about it, the more Liu Qi felt that he had a splitting headache, and his mental exhaustion was about to crush him...
