74. Leave a legend

"Someone, read this out loud!"

Liu Qi's face has regained its calm, but only those who are most familiar with him can find his excitement and ecstasy at this time from that subtle movement.

At the foot of the steps, a group of civil and military officials had already stopped all their movements.

After hearing His Majesty's order from the emperor, they sat upright one by one and listened attentively.

"Why Wang Zhengyue? The great unification of spring and autumn is also! ”

After only hearing a few words, the faces of the civil officials present changed color.

Among them, there are giants of the old Huang school, elites of Legalism, and even Confucian bigwigs, and these few words are ringing in their ears like a morning bell in the evening.

Many questions that had been haunting and incomprehensible in the past suddenly had answers at this moment.

A great Confucian who majored in the Spring and Autumn Period was even more tearful at the moment, and kept shouting in his heart: "This must be an article that I can only make by sending a great sage, and I should treat it as a teacher." ”

A sense of pilgrimage arose in his heart, as if he had seen his sons reborn.

Although the generals didn't understand it a little, after careful consideration, wasn't the content of the recital a true portrayal of some of the thoughts in their hearts.

Great unification is not only cultural unity, but also the unity of lord sovereignty.

If you want to achieve this, you can't do without our warriors.

This is the most simple idea in the hearts of many generals.

Above the palace, the little yellow door continued to recite the contents of the song.

The more you listen, the greater the impact on the courtiers.

The scholars of the Legalists and the Huang Lao School even showed a sad look, sighing why such a reason was written by others.

Those who reacted quickly had already made up their minds that when they returned, they would add this idea to their own teachings.

The Confucian bigwigs, except for a few who majored in the Spring and Autumn Period, most of the rest were also mournful.

At this time, the struggle for Taoism within Confucianism was much more tragic than the struggle outside, and the loser was to be erased literally and spiritually, which was more than ten times more ruthless than mere physical destruction.

In the end, when everyone listened to the loud voice, there was only one question left in their hearts:

"Who is he?"

??“ Are there any scholars and university lords in the palace who have refined the Spring and Autumn Period? ”

"Or is this just His Majesty the Emperor's pretending to be a maze, but in fact it is His Majesty's arrangement?"

"But it doesn't make sense, this policy is beneficial to the present generation, and the merit is in the future, so why hide it."

Above the court, the ministers thought about it, but they didn't figure out who this person was.

The Legalist magnate Chao glanced at the face of Emperor Liu Qi on the steps, and a ridiculous thought suddenly arose in his heart.

This letter should not be presented by the eldest prince Liu Rong, right?

He was immediately startled by the thought, but then shook his head.

The literary attainments of this letter are secondary, but the allusions used in it would never have been written without people who have been studying the Spring and Autumn Book for decades.

Even if Liu Rong starts studying from his mother's womb, there is not enough time.

At this time, Liu Qi, who sat back on the dragon chair, also showed a tangled look on his face.

Should the author of this letter be made public?

Liu Rong's kid presented this letter, and he could roughly guess how many points, which made him laugh and scold, but also feel a touch of guilt for his eldest son.

Over the years, I have indeed neglected my children.

Liu Qi sighed slightly in his heart, although he was made the crown prince very early, his position was not stable.

The first emperor's favorite son was always Liu Yi, the king of Liang Huai, and he also specially sent Jia Yi, the first national scholar, to serve as Liu Yi's concubine and teach carefully.

If it weren't for Liu Yi who accidentally fell from his horse and died, maybe it wasn't himself who was sitting on top of this Jinluan Hall at this time.

It is difficult for outsiders to imagine how much pressure Liu Qi was under at that time, and it is precisely because of this that he has to prove it to his deceased father.

He is more qualified for the position of emperor than Liu Yi.

Liu Qi suddenly looked around, this letter has passed through the hands of so many people, and it is almost a joke to keep it secret.

Thinking of this, he nodded at the small yellow door beside him.

Xiao Huangmen immediately read aloud: "Wang Zirong, play." ”

Wow~

"It's actually the emperor's eldest son, Liu Rong!"

Above the court, all the civil and military officials showed a look of disbelief on their faces.

After confirming each other several times, the ministers accepted the fact that they had not heard it wrong.

Immediately afterward, a big question arose in the hearts of everyone.

So how could Liu Rong write such a recital?

If it had been someone else, they might have questioned it a long time ago.

But since this matter involves the emperor's eldest son, Liu Rong, and His Majesty the Emperor has approved it, if they speak out, won't they be questioning His Majesty the Emperor.

Therefore, after a short period of noise, the ministers tacitly closed their mouths.

He looked like he was listening to the hadith.

Left and right are the internal affairs of the old Liu family, so they don't interfere.

"The prince Liu Rong, who has made meritorious contributions, will be exempted from the punishment of thinking about it behind closed doors, and will be given another hundred gold and ten satin."

Merit must be rewarded, and punishment must be punished, this is the tradition of the old Liu family, and Liu Qi just followed this rule.

Well, even the symbolic punishment is gone, and the doctor Zhang knows like a spring, so he has to jump up angrily.

The ministers still had quite some objections to His Majesty the Emperor's words, not that the reward was too large, but that the Tao was too thin.

If this policy is from the hands of a scholar in the opposition, with this advice, at least an official position with a rank of 2,000 stone can be mixed.

If this strategy is from the hands of the ministers present, then it can be said that the position of Jiuqing is already beckoning to him.

This is not an exaggeration at all, and in the long run, it provides a theoretical basis for the legitimate dominance of the Han dynasty.

To put it short, this also provided a good excuse for the imperial court's next action to cut the feudal domain.

You must know what is the biggest difficulty in cutting the feudal domain in the imperial court today?

First, there is no precedent to follow, and second, there is no theory to support.

That's why I have been tossing until now, and I still haven't discussed it clearly in the court.

But now with Liu Rong's unified theory, it is equivalent to having the most powerful support.

What is meant by great unification naturally refers to territorial, political, and cultural unity.

Whoever opposes unification is opposing the deepest demands of all Han people.

If properly promoted, this strategy can weaken the morale of the armies of the major feudal states by at least three tiers.

But anyone with a modicum of military common sense knows exactly what this means.

In the eyes of veterans like Shen Tujia and Dou Ying, who have led soldiers, this strategy can even be used as 100,000 elite soldiers.

Hearing the following discussions, Liu Qi naturally knew that this move was suspected of being unfair in rewards and punishments, but he had his own considerations, and it was really not appropriate to stimulate his brother too much at this time.

"Alright, that's it."

Who made Liu Rong the emperor's son, since Liu Qi had decided so, the rest of the ministers naturally had nothing to say.

As the ministers left the palace, this policy suddenly spread at an alarming speed.

The prince Liu Rong immediately became the object of worship of countless scholars and people.
