Chapter 66: Planning for the Prince
In the middle of February of the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, Liu Che, who was only fourteen years old, entered a new stage in his life, supervising the administration of the country and handling the affairs of the world as the crown prince, while the Son of Heaven moved to the hot spring of Ganquan Mountain to recuperate in Linguang Palace.
Before leaving, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to the province of the country of the princes, completely abolishing the invalid decree of the state of the princes, and ending the suppression of the princes for more than 30 years since the beginning of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.
The Son of Heaven gave face to the liehous, and the oldest of the old decrepit in the liehou personally took the big and small liehous to visit the Son of Heaven outside Chang'an City, which was also the first time in 14 years that the Son of Heaven took the initiative to collectively summon the liehous.
The last collective meeting was back in the early years of the succession of the Son of Heaven, when the liehou group had military power and governing power, after the suppression of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, it was the time to raise his eyebrows and show his ambitions.
The liehou was selfishly isolated from heaven for fifteen years, and was suppressed and destroyed for fifteen years, just half a year ago, the last leader of the liehou group, Zhou Yafu, who was able to lead the liehou group, almost died in the form of torture and murder in the Tingwei prison, and the Son of Heaven showed his fierce face with his iron fist, making the people of the world look at the holy son of heaven with awe and even fear.
Look! Zhou Yafu, who wiped out the Seven Kingdoms, is dead, who else in the world is my opponent!
The Son of Heaven began to regret it, feeling annoyed by the complacent ambition half a year ago, and looked back at the old princes with excited and tearful eyes, and there was an indescribable depression and depression in his heart.
They are loyal ministers and good generals of the Han Empire, their ancestors fought bloody battles for the establishment of the Han family, and passed on to their descendants to repeatedly reach out to help the country and the country, just because the Son of Heaven taboos them to have military power and governing power, and have the privilege of holding their heads high against the Son of Heaven in the court, they were destroyed, humiliated and even abused to such a weak point by the two generations of emperors.
But they were still excited when they saw themselves, it was the emotional catharsis that had been pent up for more than ten years, and the domineering and tyrannical power of the imperial power could only plead, beg for mercy and plead, and he had the opportunity to wake up early.
But it was too late, Zhou Yafu was imprisoned in Tingwei Prison, and the Son of Heaven issued an edict to let Zhou Yafu die, and the beautiful one came to an abrupt end.
The princes kneeling outside the gate of Weiyang Palace disappeared overnight, and even the most common distress and complaints did not exist, and the entire group of princes suddenly fell silent like a stone, and then the suicide note of the marquis and the nursery rhyme came into being, the Son of Heaven knew that it was the desperate counterattack of the princes, although this counterattack could not really hurt the authority of the emperor, but how to recover the lost people's hearts?
"On the Death of Qin" said: "The Great Qin destroyed the military merits, the bad name of the field system, the Qin army soldiers and soldiers were deeply resentful, the Qin people and the people of Guizhou hated Qin Wudao, and the Qin State and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms had no kindness, only suppressed the four seas with the authority of the first emperor, the ancestral dragon died and the Six Kingdoms recovered, but the Qin people were unwilling to serve the Qin State to the death, so the Qin State Wubing suddenly died, and then the whole world said that the Qin Wudao was violent, and the Qin people in Guanzhong were neither angry, but followed the people of the world to scold the tyrannical Qin Wudao! ”
It is not that the Qin people are incorruptible and shameful, but that the Qin king has no way to be in front of the righteousness, not only did he not get the love of the Qin people, but let the Qin people have the same anger as the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and they should cooperate with the outside to promote the changes in the world and increase the destruction of Qin, otherwise how could the six countries attack Qin Buke with the land of Guanzhong and Sisai, how could it be easily taken by Liu Bang.
Qin lost his deer, and the world chased it.
If the princes are defeated by torture and killing, and then the princes are deposed with the law of building the princes and less their strength, the emperor will have the power to dominate and respect himself, and the world will not dare to disobey.
And then what?
The Great Qin Empire lost the hearts of the people and died in the world, and the Great Han Empire will also repeat the mistakes of the past.
Han lost its deer, and the world chased it.
The Son of Heaven fully understands that although the world is safe and worried, there are not a lot of worries at all, there are Xiongnu in the north who repeatedly violate the border, in the south there are Zhuyue who sometimes make trouble, in the east there is Wei's Joseon Yang Fengyin violation, there are the dissatisfaction of the princes and kings, the resentment of the princes, the disappointment of the military merit, and the world is peaceful? The world is not peaceful.
If the emperor's authority rises in the process of the liehous and the twenty-level military merit system completely collapses, then the next time there is a usurpation of power by Zhulu, the rebellion of the seven kings, or the disaster of Li Si and Zhao Gao before the death of Qin, it will not be to face the pain that Qin will experience!
The frame of the Son of Heaven finally left.
The crown prince Liu Che looked at the retreat in the distance and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and his father's meaningful teaching before leaving made him very confused.
"What does it mean to ask me to use more liehous, and to reuse liehous? I remember that when my father used to teach me, he often said that the Son of Heaven should exercise exclusive power, and the thoughts of the Son of Heaven should not be perceived by the ministers, and that the princes, kings, and princes should always be vigilant and suppressed. ”
Liu Che is quietly speculating about the changes in the Son of Heaven, he is becoming more and more aware that he has some people who can't understand his father who has been with him for many years, since the half month since the crown prince issued the decree, the temperament of the Son of Heaven suddenly changed to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military did not recognize, where is still the emperor who is not broad-minded and unkind, has become very large-minded, and the people have repeatedly issued lenient policies, and today is an unprecedented summon to the princes, many changes make him puzzled.
It is normal for the prince to be young and not understand, the old officials of the Manchu Dynasty who are civil and military can't understand it, and even the princes who are accustomed to life and death and are proficient in power struggles are also confused, and the high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an City are trying to guess the intentions of the Son of Heaven.
The grandiose methods and gentle words that have never been heard before, so that many people are surprised to open their mouths as if they have lost their souls, and the Son of Heaven has changed! The Son of Heaven, who has been the crown prince for 20 years and the emperor for 15 years, has changed? It's a fantasy.
Cao Shi said meaningfully: "Although the Confucian doctrine is not suitable for making a difference in national politics, some chapters and sentences are very meaningful, such as Zeng Zi said before his death, the bird is dying and its song is mourning, and the man is dying and its words are good." ”
Liu Che was stunned: "Doctor Taizhong wants to say ......"
When he swept his gaze over the surrounding prince's servants and servants, Liu Che willingly drove everyone down the gatehouse, including his beloved Han Yan, who couldn't come down, only a few teams of Lang guards scanned back and forth with vigilant eyes on a few openings.
Cao Shi said slowly: "The doctor diagnoses the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven's longevity will be difficult to survive until next year, even if there is no trouble with national politics in Lin Guang Palace, it will be difficult to live two years of life with peace of mind, and the secret that the Son of Heaven is about to go about to be kept for too long, and the ministers may have realized the severity of the situation." ”
The young prince stared at him stunned for a long time, his eyes were full of surprise, fear, sadness and many other complex feelings, from childhood to his eldest father Emperor is a mountain he will always look up to, although he claims to worship Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Wen the most, and admires Yi Yin, Zhou Gong, Guan Zi and other famous ministers, but he himself knows very well how great his father's influence on him is.
Holding him to talk, helping him walk, making him the crown prince, teaching him the art of governing the country, the memory of the total number of zeros and zeros is constantly emerging, in his eyes, his father is always so wise and decisive, and the decision he made is always correct, the Han Empire is under the governance of his father, the country is peaceful and peaceful, all industries are prosperous, and the treasury is full, almost chasing the holy son of heaven of his grandfather Emperor Taizongwen.
Thinking that his father was about to drive, his heart was trembling slightly, in the past half a month, the number of times his father summoned him to enter the greenhouse hall had increased sharply, he only hated himself for being stupid and only caring about joy and not thinking deeply, he really wanted to fly out of Chang'an to chase the son of heaven on the frame now, and often accompanied him to the left and right of his father to accompany him through the last mile.
Looking at the young prince's fragile and helpless expression, Cao Shi really felt pity for Liu Che, Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty was too inopportune to leave, and if Liu Che was given another five years to cultivate carefully, maybe there would not be the crazy and cruel emperor in history.
But fortunately, it's not too late.
Cao Shi lowered his voice and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't think too much, although His Royal Highness goes, it doesn't mean that he won't return, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has more courage, and the reputation of the Son of Heaven after his drive is still infamous depends on the time you are in charge of the country, and you want to draw an end to the life of the Son of Heaven." ”
"Me? To end my father's life? Liu Che's eyes widened in horror.
"Yes! Your Royal Highness, you come to make up the finishing touch, and after drawing this stroke, the Son of Heaven enters the temple and is juxtaposed with Taizu and Taizong. ”
Liu Che stammered for a long time and didn't know how to answer, he is only fourteen years old this year, although he has been a prince for a few years, he has just been on the right track, and his teens are at the peak of learning knowledge, compared to his father's experience of being a prince for more than 20 years, not to mention that the empire of Nuoda has no confidence, and it is also a lack of certainty in the face of a huge group of hundreds of officials and ministers.
Cao Shi coughed and whispered in his ear: "The minister has a draft to make suggestions for His Royal Highness the Prince, but this strategy must be fully supported by His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise things will be discordant, and the minister will suffer from it." ”
The prince seemed to be a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw, and nodded busily: "Okay, okay, if there is any way, just say it, as long as it is reasonable and does not violate the law, I will fully support you!" ”
——
ps: The Han and Tang military systems are similar, and the reasons for the collapse are similar, the military and military land granting system established in the early days of the founding of the country collapsed, and the strong were able to get rid of the shackles and rest assured that the land annexation was bold, and the contradictions of the poor had no place to stand were sharp, and the officers and soldiers guarding the country lost the channel to enter, and the country lost the hearts of the people, and only one fuse was needed to perish.
