Since the Son of Heaven has already made a decision, the ministers will naturally not hold on to it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ministers then bowed one after another: "Your Majesty can be powerful and blessed, and the ministers are respectfully edicted!" ”

This kind of disposition is also very much in line with the current rules of the game of the Han dynasty -- they will not be dishonored.

Don't say that it is a prince and a king, even if it is only two thousand stones, if you commit a crime, as long as you don't really die, basically, you can get a decent ending.

As for the princes and kings?

Not to mention that!

In that year, Liu Xingju, the king of Jibei, rebelled, and the general Chai Wu was ordered to capture him.

In the end, Liu Xingju was also allowed to commit suicide to apologize.

Even, in fact, if Liu Bi, the king of Wu back then, surrendered, he might even be placed under house arrest in Chang'an.

Like King Li of Huainan, those who starved to death in a prison car were just an isolated case.

In this regard, Liu Che has no way to change.

Because it's reality.

Don't say that it was before this AD, and in another 2,000 years, the world will be the same.

The ruling class, as a matter of course, will take care of the ruling class, not the other way around.

However, this matter is not without positive significance.

Liu Che looked at the ministers and said with some sadness: "I heard that the princes of the ancients have been founding the country for more than a thousand years, each guarding its own land, governing its people, rejoicing from top to bottom, and living in peace and happiness...... Three kings and five emperors, from this merit to the eternal world, virtue is born by the common people...... Why is it that today, there are the remnants of the kings of Jinan, Zichuan, and Jibei first, and then the king of Qi chaotic law? Guzhen is thin? ”

When the ministers heard this, they hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "The ministers are waiting for ten thousand deaths, and they can't help Your Majesty, manage the world, and guide the kings to be good...... Please punish Your Majesty! ”

This is also the rule of the game of the Han family.

The Son of Heaven can never be wrong, and the Son of Heaven can never have moral flaws.

If there is, it must be the minister's pot.

If it weren't for your inadequacy, why would this be the case?

However, Liu Che naturally didn't want to trouble the ministers.

In fact, the ministers also knew, and they all knew, that this was actually the Son of Heaven preparing to reduce the power of the princes and kings.

They have already seen a lot of this kind of routine - seven or eight years ago, didn't the first emperor and Chao Cuo play like this?

One shouted that he was weak in morality, that he couldn't educate the princes and kings of the clan well, that he was ashamed of his ancestors and that he was ashamed of heaven and earth, and that he wanted to kill himself, and the other immediately knelt down and said, this is not Your Majesty's problem, it is caused by the princes and kings being too powerful and arrogant, and they must cut the domain.

As soon as the two of them sang like this, the knife sharpened a little sharper.

In the end, after the public opinion was built, the country officially cut the feudal domain, and the Wuchu Rebellion was cut.

However, the current situation is different.

Today, the power of the central government is unprecedentedly strong, and the force is even stronger.

Let's not talk about it, let's just say that this Tiger Benwei and Yulin Guard, who are stationed in Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, guarding the palace and defending the Son of Heaven, can pull one out at will, and it will be enough to sweep away all the power of the princes and kings - even the broken copper and iron and military strength of the princes and kings now, they can't even stop a finger of these two.

What's more, no one is stupid enough to dare to resist the central government.

The Son of Heaven has the right to bestow on him, and he proves the mandate of heaven.

Whoever dares to rebel, the first to suppress him is none other than his guards, or even his cronies!

There is no doubt about it!

At the beginning, why didn't Liu Piguang, the king of Jinan, dare not rebel?

Is he really that honest?

The reason for this is that no one wants to go with him.

Even his sons were reluctant to rebel.

After the Zhangqiu Incident, on the day the edict of the Son of Heaven was issued, Liu Piguang, the king of Jinan, was in fact placed under house arrest by his eunuchs and palace guard officers......

Therefore, in today's world, it is actually meaningless to cut the feudal domain without cutting the feudal domain.

It is no longer possible for all the princes and kings to challenge the central government.

Their power is being curtailed every year.

When he ascended the throne, the princes and kings could also appoint a thousand stones, and even local prefectural orders and metropolitan posts, and they could also recommend to the imperial court a list of his two thousand stone auxiliary ministers.

However, in the second year of Yuande, their power was reduced to the appointment and dismissal of officials of 400 stones, and their control over the army was reduced to the point that they could not command anyone except their palace guards.

Four years after Yuande, especially after the incident of the four kings of Qilu, they lost most of these powers.

Today's princes and kings only have a small amount of 400 stone officials left to appoint and dismiss officials (basically related to the kingdom's court and garden affairs).

If you cut it again, it will be the last fig leaf for the princes and kings - the affairs of the royal palace.

The dignified king doesn't even have the power to decide the affairs of his own court. Whose face is this?

It must be the face of the old Liu family!

Therefore, the ministers are all puzzled.

Only Chao Cuo, with great interest, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers mistakenly think that this is all the reason why the princes and kings have no virtuous and talented people to assist, please Your Majesty, send people who are full of learning, moral people, to the princes and kings of the world, carefully taught, so that they will be able to lead them to goodness......"

This is obvious, to raise the princes and kings as pigs.

and deprive them of all their authority.

Let them be fools and fools who can't do anything but eat, drink, and be merry.

If Chao Cuo's suggestion is approved, then the princes and kings of the Han family will be able to GMecta from now on.

Like their Song and Ming colleagues, they will be confined to the palace and raised in the gentle country.

Except for cockfighting, lackeys, and wine ponds, it is unlikely that they have other abilities.

However, this is not the result that Liu Che wants.

Liu Che knows very well that today, he raises his brothers and uncles as pigs.

Tomorrow, his sons will raise their sons as pigs.

Eventually, all his children and grandchildren will become pigs.

Look at the princes and kings of the Han family.

Get rid of those tyrants who tease and corrupt and degenerate, since Liu Bang, in fact, they can be called talented.

In terms of culture, the father and son of King Wen of Chu and King Yi of Chu are respected by the world, and their father and son are even unique in the cultural circle of the Han family, creating and strengthening the Chu poetry school.

The scholars of the Chu poetry school traveled all over the world and made great contributions to the dissemination of Chinese culture and systems.

If it weren't for their efforts, today's Mitsukoshi would not have such a great sense of identity and centripetal force towards China.

It is impossible for Liu Che to regard Mitsukoshi as his own.

In terms of military affairs, the late Liu Zhang, the king of Chengyang Jing, can also be regarded as a great achievement.

Liu Ze, the king of Yan Jing, repaired and improved the defense line of Yan Ji for the Han Dynasty, and held the right Beiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong.

Although Liu Shen, the king of filial piety, was judged to be modest, his position and attitude were very resolute - at least, no matter what, he defended Jinyang and Taiyuan for the country.

Outsiders say that he is modest, but who can know how this unfavored son of Taizong stood at the head of the city to inspire the army and the people?

And now, Liu Che's younger brother Liu Fei, a complete martial idiot, as long as he is allowed to fight, he can ignore anything.

Even, among those rebellious princes and kings, there are actually many talents.

The most typical is Wu Wang Liu Bi.

Fifty years ago, when Liu Bi was appointed as the king of Wu by Emperor Liu Bangce, he accepted the kingdom of Wu as a hell full of devastation and war.

At that time, due to perennial war and destruction.

In the entire country of Wu, the hukou withered, the economy collapsed, the law and order were chaotic, and even everyone was in danger.

Not to mention normal production and life.

The common people did not even have the courage to settle.

Countless people fled to the deep mountains and old forests, large tracts of fertile land were abandoned, and cities were deserted.

So much so that at that time, Zhao Tuozhi, the king of Nanyue, was complacent and fearlessly eroded the territory of Wu.

Even after Lu, he brazenly started a war with the Han army.

In such a treacherous environment, Liu Bi took the lead, while leading the army, fighting back against the erosion and provocation of the Nanyue Kingdom, while reorganizing the entire Wu State.

He was light on his modest contributions, constantly introduced various preferential policies to attract displaced people, and vigorously carried out the construction and restoration of water conservancy facilities.

In just ten years, he pulled Wu Guo back to the world from hell.

By the time Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty came to power, the state of Wu had fully recovered demographically, economically, and culturally.

By the time Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty died, in twenty-three years, Wu became the number one power in the world.

Among the princely kingdoms, Wu ranked first in economy, population, territory, and even welfare.

How strong was Wu Guoqiang back then?

Sanyue is his younger brother, and the surrounding Chu Kingdom, the kings of Qilu, and even the nobles of the Huaisi region are basically controlled by him.

When he joined forces, he raised an army of 300,000, overwhelming and violent.

So much so that even the counterinsurgency army led by Zhou Yafu could only temporarily avoid the edge and did not dare to face him head-on.

As for the Liang army, it was even more beaten and lost its armor and was embarrassed, and Liu Wu, the king of Liang, sent five envoys to Chang'an to complain one day, shouting that he couldn't hold on.

If it weren't for Zhou Yafu's surprise attack on the grain route of Wu Chu's army, which directly hit Liu Bi's vital point, I'm afraid that at this moment, who the Son of Heaven in Chang'an City is, it may not be.

And if Liu Bi had chosen to divide the river and rule at the beginning, then it is likely that the situation of dividing the north and the south would have been formed.

This was by no means unfounded, but a reality at the time.

With Liu Bi's talent and skill, if he was born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he would not be able to be a figure like King Chuzhuang and Qin Mugong.

Obviously, it is a complete waste to raise characters like King Wen of Chu, King of Chuyi, father and son, and even King Liu Wei of Wu as pigs.

They should have a broader stage to realize the value of their lives.

Looking at Chao Cuo's eager eyes, Liu Che stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Qing's proposal, it's not impossible, but I think it's more than that!" ”

"Shang Shuling......" Liu Che looked at Ji Di and ordered: "Go and fetch the "Great Han Unification Universe Map" ......"

"No!" The latter immediately took the order, and a moment later, four samurai arrived in the field, carrying a huge map engraved on the screen.

Liu Che stood up, walked down the field, and looked at the map.

On the map, there are mountains and rivers, rivers are all over the place, outside Kyushu, plugged with grasslands, vast and boundless, outside the west of the river, the style of the Western Regions, which makes people intoxicated.

"Come on!" Staring at the map, Liu Che said.

Immediately, someone presented a brush, Liu Che took it, and drew a straight line on the map, this line, along the Guanshan Mountain of the Great Wall, directly divided the whole world into two.

Then, with a wave of his hand, someone handed him a brush dyed with blue ink, and he drew a line on the map, and this line, along the green ridge, once again separated the world.

Then, Liu Che took his hand, looked at the ministers, and said, "This is my division of the world!" ”

"Within the Great Wall, the land of Shenzhou, the foundation of the first emperor, and the mausoleum of the ancestors are the foundation of all summers, and among the world, China is also ......" He said slowly: "From now on, I will no longer divide an inch of land in Shenzhou...... Except for the original princes and princes, all the lands of the nobility are outside it...... The same is true of the Grace Order......"

Liu Che is very clear about the mentality of the Han nobles, especially those old aristocrats.

Among these people, although some people are actively exploring and hoping to make new contributions, there are also many people who are lying on the merits of their ancestors and dreaming of death, eating and waiting for death.

If he didn't do anything, these scum would definitely be happy to enjoy the dividends of the country's strength while continuing to eat and wait for death - back then, Liu Che discovered this mentality of these scum when he used the grace order.

Many people are not willing to go to Anton to open up at all, they just sent a concubine or even a side branch to Anton to take care of the country, and they continue to live in Chang'an, or indulge in horse racing, horse betting, or intoxicated by the gentle countryside of the singer.

Anyway, they don't lack money to spend.

The victory in foreign wars has made them more and more wealthy.

In that case, they will not move.

They don't even want to go to Anton, can they still expect them to take the initiative to explore outside the Saiwai or even the Western Regions and Central Asia?

Stop dreaming!

And these people have a lot of social resources and wealth in their hands.

Liu Che definitely couldn't sit idly by and watch these guys go underground with these resources and wealth.

He had to find a way to get out of their hands.

And the princes and kings are the same.

Look at the kings of Qilu!

One by one, they are drunk and dreaming of death, and they are corrupt and degenerate.

and that Yan King Liu Dingguo, who completely lost the face of his father and ancestors.

In the final analysis, Liu Che felt that these scum were too comfortable and comfortable to live.

Or throw it out.

Let the tribulations outside grind them.

That's how you can become a talent!

When the ministers heard this, they all started talking at once.

Many of the pot-bellied princes turned ugly at once.

But fortunately, the Son of Heaven did not immediately drive them to Saiwai, but only let their heirs go to Saiwai.

Thinking about it this way, they don't object to it.

And those who want to pioneer and forge ahead, especially those who are emerging military nobles, are suddenly excited.

What is the Son of Heaven doing?

There is no doubt that it is a cake!

This is something the big guys have been waiting for for a long time!

Many immediately craned their necks and looked at the three worlds on the map.

The Son of Heaven has now made it very clear - from now on, Shenzhou itself will no longer be divided, that is to say, the future princes, princes, sons and even princes and grandsons will no longer have a feudal kingdom within the Great Wall.

Everyone is to go out together and build their own inheritance and kingdom.

This is tantamount to a new reshuffle.

It's a disaster for those who are comfortable with the status quo.

But for those who can't wait to build their craft, this is the sound! (To be continued.) )
