Moreover, this time Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, was able to come to Chang'an in person to mourn, which shows that he is still a little biased towards the court in his heart, and he is an object that can be fought for.

Unlike other vassal states such as Wu Chu, they all hastily sent one or two undesirable sons to mourn.

This shows that Wu Chu and other vassal states have realized the next move of the imperial court and have taken precautions.

Don't believe it, as long as King Wu and King Chu dare to enter Beijing, and Liu Rong dares to pack tickets, this cheap dad of mine will definitely do the thing of putting them under house arrest in Beijing first, and then sending troops to pacify the country.

"When the retainer heard about the turbulent situation today, he had a little gain in his heart, and he was willing to share his father's worries."

Liu Rong naturally refused to go out at this time, he lowered his head, but his tone was not small.

If it were in normal times, Liu Qi might be pleased with the eldest son's progressiveness, but at this time, with King Qi by his side, it was inconvenient to say a lot of things.

was about to reprimand, but saw Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, take a step forward and say: "I have always heard that His Highness is very intelligent, and the widow also wants to hear what His Highness thinks?" ”

Liu Qiluo groaned and did not make a sound.

If Liu Rong really has an outstanding performance, it will also be of great help in convincing King Qi.

However, Liu Qi has great doubts about this.

"What the ministers are thinking about is the system of cutting the feudal domain that is hotly discussed today."

As soon as Liu Rong's words came out, a loud shout came from his ears: "Shut up, how can you participate in such a major event of the imperial court." ”

It's okay to talk about this on weekdays, but in front of King Qi, there is a huge problem.

No matter how much the king of Qi Liu Jianglu is dedicated to the court, he is still a local vassal king in essence.

The imperial court's imminent policy of cutting feudal domains will inevitably harm the interests of the Qi king's family.

After all, not everyone can tolerate the damage to their authority and feudal interests.

This is also the reason why the two sides have not been able to reach an agreement.

After pacing for two steps, Liu Jianglu asked coldly: "It's okay, the widow wants to know what His Highness thinks of this strategy to cut the domain." ”

On the other side, Liu Qi showed a look of self-righteousness and then fell silent.

Liu Rong was very confident in his heart, and asked loudly without showing any panic on his face: "I don't know how many princes there are under the emperor's knees?" ”

Liu Jianglu didn't know why the other party asked this, but after thinking about it for a while, he said truthfully: "Eleven has two." ”

This is still the number he came up with after he did not count the concubines who were already pregnant.

"But it's all the flesh and blood of the emperor's uncle?"

Hearing this, Liu Jianglu's cheeks twitched slightly, which was a suspicion that someone in his harem dared to cuckold him, and then replied angrily: "Naturally." ”

"Then may I ask if the imperial uncle has a crown prince?"

"Nature."

"Hey, how mean is Uncle Huang?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Jianglu's face immediately turned blue.

If it weren't for the scruples that it was Weiyang Palace here, and the other party was the emperor's eldest son, after hearing such an evaluation, he would have slapped him in the face.

"Why did Your Highness say this? Where the hell is the widow ......" Being so insulted by a child, Liu Jianglu's eyes turned red, and then he turned around and bowed down: "Please Your Majesty be the minister." ”

Seeing that Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, was so embarrassed, Liu Qi was actually quite happy in his heart.

This guy relied on the special position of his vassal state, and he never made a clear statement about the court's wooing, he has been unhappy with the other party for a long time, but it is just inconvenient.

"Liu Rong, how dare you be unreasonable to the king of Qi! If I can't come up with a reasonable explanation, I won't spare you! ”

The subtext is very obvious, if you say it well, you will be rewarded, and if you can't say it, you will be punished heavily.

As an emperor, Liu Qi's performance is undoubtedly very competent.

Weiyang Palace, above the main hall.

Liu Rong was unmoved, showing a calm and breezy look, only to see him smile slightly: "Uncle Huang, the kid doesn't have any disrespect, just for the rest of the princes under Uncle Huang's knees!" ”

"What does that mean?" Liu Jianglu asked suspiciously.

"The reason is very simple, after being the emperor's uncle for a hundred years, only one son can get the unification, but the rest of the sons will be beaten to the dust, and from then on everyone will be lost, isn't it pitiful?"

Liu Jianglu was so angry by these words that he couldn't laugh or cry, his face sank, and he said: "In this case, what does Your Highness think the widow should do?" ”

Since ancient times, it has been the case among princes, and it is something that any royal child knows that one prince will inherit the throne and the rest of the sons will find their own way of living.

Liu Rong didn't seem to hear the ridicule in Uncle Huang's words, and said with a calm face: "If Uncle Huang really loves his children, why don't you go to the court and make all the sons under his knees the prince." ”

"In this way, after a hundred years of being the emperor's uncle, all the royal brothers can be princes."

Hearing these words, Liu Qi's eyes couldn't help but shoot a brilliant brilliance, and with his political wisdom, he quickly figured out the trick.

Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, really wants to do what Liu Rong said, and his feudal state is getting smaller and smaller, and his power is getting weaker and weaker.

After three or five generations, it may be that the current fiefdoms of various countries will completely become small countries with no sense of existence.

This strategy can also be used in other princely kingdoms, so that the effect of cutting the feudal domain can be achieved without a single soldier.

It turns out that not everyone is ambitious, and not everyone has a vision.

Liu Jianglu thought of the young son who was deeply loved by him but did not have the position of prince, and he was overjoyed, and blurted out: "This is very much in line with the hearts of widows!" ”

"In that case, then I will grant the invitation of the King of Qi."

How could Liu Qi miss such a good opportunity and implement the matter while the iron was hot.

The so-called Chrysostom Yuyan, since the emperor approved it, Liu Jianglu will not be able to regret it even if he wants to.

Seeing Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, withdraw from the hall with a depressed expression, Liu Qi finally showed a look of admiration to his eldest son.

The corners of his lips showed a smile of relief, and Liu Rong's previous mistakes at the funeral were completely turned over.

……

He never came out of the Yang Palace, but Liu Rong knew that this matter was not over.

Although he used the policy of pushing the grace order today, he was appreciated by the cheap father, and got the right to listen to the government.

But it also offended a giant in the court because of this, Chao was wrong.

It was the Legalist magnate who presided over the cutting of the feudal domain and was finally beheaded by his cheap father.

During this period, Chao Cuo was unparalleled in the court, and even Prime Minister Shen Tujia was flattened by Chao Cuo.

Well, that's right, it's literal.

In the Western Han Dynasty, civil and military officials were above the court, and it was simply a common thing for Stone to stage a full martial arts.

Don't look at Chao Cuo, as a civil official, his combat effectiveness is off the charts, and he often rubs some generals on the floor at court meetings.

It can be said that more than half of Chao Cuo's prestige in the court was created through these fists and feet.

The civil officials of the Western Han Dynasty were not like those weak scholars in later generations who could not lift their hands and could not resist on their shoulders.

It is a person who can really be a general when he goes out, and he is a man who is both civil and military.

Counting the officials above the Jiuqing level in the Western Han Dynasty, more than half of them have served in the military.

You know, this is the top civil official group in the imperial court.

It can be seen from this that the martial arts of the Han Dynasty were so strong.

Why is there a country that is constantly destroyed by weakness, and the saying that Han independence is strong and dies is widely spread.

Although Liu Rong's edict could make the rebellion of the vassal kingdom disappear, it would take a long time and would be difficult to be accepted by the generals and Chao Cuo who were eager to make meritorious contributions.

With his current small body, he is not qualified to go head-to-head with the other party.

This made Liu Rong a little distressed, but he didn't regret it.

With the public, this strategy is beneficial to the country.

Selfishness can greatly enhance the weight in the heart of his cheap dad and improve the environment in which he lives.

For the road he wants to compete for the crown prince, he has taken a solid first step.
