Chapter 351: The King (II)
The reason why Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is so atmospheric is very simple, the land of the Han Dynasty nominally belongs to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, the land of the Han Dynasty is basically controlled by the major wealthy families, especially those with better fertility, all of which have been forcibly seized by the major wealthy families through various means, and have become the private property of the wealthy families.

Therefore, even if Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty now divides the original territory of King Huainan to Liu Xin, Liu Xin actually only gets a title, and actually can't get a little land, unless Liu Xin can "solve" the wealthy family that actually controls that land, whether by force or persuasion.
That's why Emperor Han Ling is so arrogant, anyway, for Emperor Han Ling, he doesn't suffer at all...
Of course, Liu Xin also knows this truth, but Liu Xin doesn't plan to take the title and territory of the king of Huainan, after all, Liu Xin has already booked Chengdu as his base to seize the world, and the Huainan region is far away from Chengdu, where can Liu Xin run.
Therefore, Liu Xin said with a smile: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the old one doesn't go, the new one doesn't come, and now that I'm back in the Han Dynasty, I naturally can't choose to be the king in Huainan anymore, so I want to change to a new position." ”
Emperor Han Ling nodded thoughtfully, after all, Liu Xin became the king of Huainan again, and there was always a feeling of "I, Liu Hansan, am back again", and I always felt that Liu Xin might rebel against himself...
Therefore, Emperor Han Ling also immediately nodded and said: "Brother Wang, you are right, the position of King Huainan is definitely not suitable for you now, so let's choose a place as your fief at will." ”
Emperor Han Ling thought that Liu Xin had given him so many good things, so he couldn't be too stingy, so Emperor Han Ling simply gritted his teeth and chose a place for Liu Xin.
Seeing this, Liu Xin was no longer polite, and directly said his thoughts, "Since Your Majesty has said so, then I hope my fief is in Chengdu." ”
Emperor Han Ling was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Liu Xin with some surprise, in the opinion of Emperor Han Ling, although Chengdu is good, but the mountains are high and the road is far away, and there are barbarians around, and the local wealthy families are also notoriously xenophobic, so Emperor Han Ling will sell the position of Yizhou Assassin to Xuan Jian for money.
Therefore, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty believed that Liu Xin's choice of Chengdu as his fief was not a very good choice, and it could even be said to be a mistake.
Therefore, Emperor Han Ling asked Liu Xin with some curiosity: "Brother Wang, are you sure you want to choose Chengdu, Chengdu is not a good place, where the situation is very complicated, as far as I am concerned, I still hope that Brother Wang can change places." ”
Liu Xin looked at Emperor Han Ling with some surprise, but he didn't expect Emperor Han Ling to think about himself.
However, Liu Xin's family background is still in Chengdu, so how can he choose a place other than Chengdu as a fief, so Liu Xin pretended to be very moved and said to Emperor Han Ling: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, but I still hope that Your Majesty can use Chengdu as my fief, the reason is very simple, first of all, I returned to Dahan from Chengdu, so I have a very good image of Chengdu, and I also established an auction house in Chengdu, which is also my first and only industry in Dahan, So I also want to run my first industry in Dahan, of course, in fact, there is another reason why I chose Chengdu. ”
Emperor Han Ling nodded while listening, what Liu Xin said was reasonable, Emperor Han Ling had already believed eighty percent, of course, Emperor Han Ling was also very curious about what Liu Xin's last reason was, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "I see, but what is the last reason you said, Brother Wang?" “
Liu Xin put on a serious face at this time, and said to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty: "I have experienced the Banyu Barbarian Rebellion in Chengdu, and I have also learned about the grim form of the Yizhou region, whether it is the barbarians or the problems of the local wealthy families, I hope to solve it for Your Majesty, so I hope to use Chengdu as my fiefdom, and then help Your Majesty guard the frontier and clear the obstacles that hinder the advance of the Han Dynasty." ”
As soon as Liu Xin said this, Emperor Ling of Han nodded happily and said to Liu Xin: "It turns out that Brother Wang thinks so, no wonder Brother Wang chose Chengdu as his fiefdom, Brother Wang is really a model among the Han clansmen." ”
Liu Xin unceremoniously accepted Emperor Han Ling's praise, and said to Emperor Han Ling with a smile: "It is also an honor to be able to share your worries for Your Majesty, so I hope Your Majesty can divide my fief in Chengdu." ”
Emperor Han Ling nodded and said: "Since Brother Wang is so insistent, then I will make Brother Wang the king of Chengdu, and the fief is in Chengdu, and I will arrange a formal decree to Brother Wang tomorrow, and Brother Wang can go to Chengdu at any time to determine the fief, but if Brother Wang really goes to Chengdu, then it will be difficult for our two brothers to meet again." ”
As said before, Emperor Han Ling didn't care where Liu Xin's fief was, but what Emperor Han Ling cared about was what kind of benefits he could get from Liu Xin, after all, Chengdu was still very far from Luoyang, and Emperor Han Ling felt that he could no longer get the "benefits" of Liu Xin's dedication.
Liu Xin naturally understood Emperor Han Ling's thoughts, so he immediately smiled and said: "Confidant in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other, Your Majesty and I are brothers, no matter how far we are, it will not hinder our family affection, so even if I am in Chengdu and Your Majesty is in Luoyang, my heart can be conveyed to Your Majesty." “
Liu Xin accentuated the word "heart", the meaning contained in it is self-evident, Emperor Han Ling is also an "old driver", naturally understands that Liu Xin is assuring himself that even if Liu Xin leaves Luoyang and goes to Chengdu, the gift he should "give" to himself will not be less.
Thinking of this, Emperor Han Ling couldn't help but smile, patted his chest at Liu Xin and promised: "What Brother Wang said is that since Brother Wang is willing to guard Yizhou for me, then I will naturally raise my hands to support it, and when you leave the capital, Brother Wang, I will transfer five hundred Imperial Forest Army to you as a private soldier, and I will go to Yizhou with you to guard it." “
The Imperial Forest Army, also known as the Yulin Army, was founded by Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, and it is also a special army dedicated to guarding the emperor, the royal family, and the imperial city in all dynasties after the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was able to give Liu Xin five hundred imperial forest troops, Liu Xin was still very happy, after all, Liu Xin now has a lot of military talents, but there is a serious lack of soldiers, after all, the troops in Chengdu are all militia nature, and the strength of the war is really worrying.
And the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Forest Army is there, and it can also be responsible for training the local troops in Yizhou and becoming a grassroots officer in the Yizhou army, so this decision of Emperor Han Ling is undoubtedly a relief for Liu Xin.
