Chapter 220: Discussing State Affairs
Since the beginning of the cut, the civil war has been under Wei Qing's control.
And this battle made Wei Qing's role once again highlighted, and he truly achieved a decisive victory in strategizing.
Cutting is a cut, but after all, they are all children of the Liu family, as the Queen Mother said, it is impossible to kill them all.
Liu Che weighed it again and again, and immediately made a decision to cut down 22 countries and retain seven, and these 22 vassal states that were cut, all the fiefs and powers were transferred to the counties and states, and only the titles and treatments were retained.
From this point on, these vassal states essentially lost the right to self-government, and even the land was handed over to the imperial court.
The seven vassal states that were retained were all canonized by the princes and kings of Emperor Jing's period, and most of them were just canonized by Emperor Jing's sons and uncles, so Liu Che did not move this piece for the sake of humanitarianism.
Although the retained vassal states have autonomy over the state, they have absolutely no military power, that is, even the garrison troops must be stationed by the imperial court.
Liu Che: "Do you understand what I said?" ”
The ministers and princes and kings knelt down: "Your Majesty is sage! ”
Liu Che once again expounded his thoughts, and the princes and kings in the hall were all afraid.
Although they all expressed their support verbally, Liu Che still saw the displeasure in the hearts of these guys, so he got up again and scolded loudly: "You don't have any complaints, you have all listened, starting from me, the king of the future generations will not be crowned king, and my son will not be crowned king, you can supervise me." ”
As soon as these words came out, the princes and kings under the hall really balanced their hearts, so they shouted: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”
Seeing that everyone was well, Liu Che walked to the dragon chair a little tiredly, and then sat down and said: "You all go back, remember, all the handovers will be completed within a year, and you can be your idle king." ”
In modern times, it is not possible for a reform to be implemented from top to bottom without a year, not to mention, just after a civil war, the whole country may not be able to recover for more than two years.
All the princes and kings withdrew from the main hall, but when Liu Zhi, the last king of Sugawa, was about to go out, he was stopped by Liu Che.
Liu Zhi was very frightened, and Liu Xin and the crown prince on the side were very panicked, because the Suchuan Kingdom was preserved.
"Your Majesty!" Liu Zhi bowed to the ground, you know, if it was in the past, he didn't need to bow to the ground, but now it's different.
Liu Che hated that iron could not become steel, because Liu Zhi's father also participated in the Seven Kings Rebellion during the Jingdi period: "Liu Zhi, to be honest, I really don't want to let you go, do you understand?" Liu Che's voice was stern.
Liu Zhi trembled on the ground, and replied in a loud voice: "Minister, thank Your Majesty, thank Your Majesty." ”
Liu Xin and the crown prince didn't dare to look up, for fear that Long Yan would be angry and ask him for his guilt.
"Your father, Liu Xian, participated in the Seven Kings Rebellion back then, and the first emperor didn't pursue it too much for the sake of all clan relatives, but you really disappointed me, and you actually united with Liu An, the king of Huainan, you are so bold." Liu Che couldn't be angry.
Liu Zhi kowtowed three times in a row: "Your Majesty, the minister, the minister knows that he is wrong, and the minister is also blinded." ”
"Blinded? Is your head a pig brain? Are you still a prince and king, so easily deceived? Liu Che asked: "And you, as children, are you also deceived?" ”
Liu Xin and the crown prince trembled with fright.
Seeing that the family was already scared enough, Liu Che finally relieved his voice and said: "Gongsun Hong, the Marquis of Pingjin, it can be said that the last trace of oil has been burned for the sake of my world, you really have to thank Gongsun Hong." ”
Liu Zhi kept kowtowing and said: "Minister, you must not forget the great kindness of Prime Minister Gongsun, and after you go back, you will build an ancestral hall in the name of Yang." ”
"Get out of here!" Liu Che closed his eyes after speaking.
Liu Zhi, Liu Xin, and the crown prince got up and bent down to exit the main hall.
In the history of the Western Han Dynasty, according to the system of the "Tui En Order", this vassal state has experienced a total of nine generations, and the total number of internal kings is fifty-one.

"Sister, sister, quick, go get water, the pot is about to boil dry."
"Go, don't expect anything from me, today's battle report hasn't been sorted out yet!"
In the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, Huo Quzhi was running back and forth in the courtyard with a bucket.
Since Shen Jia's death, Wei Yan and his two brothers were also sent away, and Huo Qubing became a frequent visitor to the General's Mansion, helping Wei Qing to do what he could, and by the way, let Wei Qing teach some things about fighting.
As soon as the second bucket of water was brought in, Huo Quzhi had just run to the door and found a slim girl standing outside the door.
Huo Quzhi suddenly became interested: Isn't this the aunt that my uncle is looking for again?
"You, who are you looking for?" Huo Qu asked weakly.
The woman is Liu Xin, today he received the grace of God, Liu Zhi went back, and he wanted to see someone, it was Wei Qing.
"May I ask if this is General Wei's mansion?" Liu Xin asked, then turned his head to look in.
Liu Xin was puzzled, although he remembered that this was indeed Wei Qing's mansion the last time he came, but what he saw today was so shabby, with a first-class title, and there was not even a guard at the door, which made her even more uncertain, so she was a little suspicious.
"Yes, yes, yes." Huo Quzhi's eyes were straight, and this woman was almost as beautiful as Ruoyao: "Come in." ”
In this way, one led one into the house with a nervous mood, and the other followed with a nervous mood.
"Uncle, uncle, uncle!" Huo Qubing trotted all the way, and shouted as he ran.
The shouting was loud, alarming Ruoyao, who was dealing with military affairs, and opened the door and shouted: "What are you shouting, the water is full?" ”
But before the words could continue, Ruoyao saw Liu Xin appear behind Huo Quai, so she stepped forward to say hello: "Yo, what kind of wind blew the county lord here today, ah?" ”
Liu Xin was a little embarrassed, and saluted respectfully: "On that day, thank you for saving your life." ”
"Don't!" Ruoyao can't afford it: "It's not this girl who saved you, it's the prime minister, you should thank him." ”
Liu Xin was very shy: "Anyway, it's the girl's credit." ”
"By the way, what are you doing today?" Ruoyao asked.
Liu Xin looked around, he was looking for someone: "Is General Wei here?" ”
Ruoyao immediately guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten, because he had already guessed before that Liu Xin had a crush on Wei Qing.
"Oh! It turns out that you are here to find him, a talented woman. Ruoyao teased.
Liu Xin's face immediately turned red to his ears, and he lowered his head and said shyly: "It's okay, I just want to meet him." ”
The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, why not the beauty?
"It's still early before the end of the war, and the general is arranging, and he's a little busy." Ruoyao didn't want to ruin this good thing, so she greeted her: "Please in the house, wait for the general to finish." ”
Liu Xin saluted and then followed Ruoyao towards the hall.
