Leaning in the sunset, taking out the dry food he brought, and drinking the boiled stream water, Zhang Jiayang said to Zixia: "Madam, how many years have we been since we met and met, do you remember?"

"Xianggong, it's been about 20 years. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes, I've known each other for twenty years, three years and six months. ”

"Xianggong remembers it so clearly. ”

"Madame doesn't dislike Jia Yang, she follows Jia Yang to suffer, and she really shouldn't remember this time clearly. ”

"It is Zixia's duty to take care of Xianggong, and Xianggong doesn't have to take it to heart. After Zixia finished speaking, she turned around and snuggled in Jia Yang's arms and stroked Jia Yang's arm, with a satisfied and happy face.

"I am afraid that only my wife can follow me to stay in this wilderness, endure hunger and cold, and run around in the wind and rain, and when I return to the ancient city in the future, I must take good care of my wife for the rest of my life. ”

"It's good to have the word "Xianggong". ”

When the sun sets, Zhang Jiayang is left with only a non-stop search, waiting for him must be more difficulties and obstacles, let go of Zhang Jiayang and Zixia's long journey to the north of the Huns, not to mention, not to mention that Wei Qing in Chang'an City did not see the master, and his heart was as if he had lost his soul, when he thought of the master's teachings to be an assertive, dare to choose, loyal to the emperor, love the people, and diligent in reading the art of war, it was like taking a reassuring pill, knowing that there would be no danger in wandering the rivers and lakes with the master's connections and martial arts, and the danger was himself, so he should keep in mind the master's teachings, practice martial arts every day, train soldiers, and study carefully, which also allowed Wei Qing's daily life to find a home.

It's winter again, when the annual princes worship the Son of Heaven, the people in the hall are busy, counting the tributes taken by the princes and kings one by one, Liu Che is talking about the parents in the apse and some of the princes and kings who came to worship, the time has come, the confessor handed over the list to Liu Che, according to the rules of the Han Dynasty, all the princes and kings must come to worship the Son of Heaven in person, otherwise it is against the ancestral system, Liu Che asked the confessor: "The princes and kings of all countries have arrived, right?"

The messenger reported: "Report to Your Majesty, except for the envoy sent by the King of Huainan, all the others have arrived. ”

"Oh, call the envoy of Huainan Kingdom. ”

"No. ”

A messenger hurriedly walked up to Liu Che and knelt down and bowed, "Greetings to Your Majesty." ”

"Get up, why didn't your king come to Chang'an according to the ancestral system?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the king of my family is old and frail, and he has occasionally felt cold recently, so he sent a minister to participate in the pilgrimage, and before leaving, he also instructed the minister to explain this matter to His Majesty, and asked His Majesty not to offend the king of my family. ”

The annual pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven, the princes and kings do not come according to the ancestral system is disrespectful, and the serious ones are to be eliminated with the heart of not being subordinate, but Liu An, the king of Huainan, is his uncle, how is this good, Liu Che didn't know how to judge for a while, so he waved his hand to let the envoy rest for a while, Liu Che walked to the front hall and saw Prime Minister Xue Ze, Imperial Historian Gongsun Hong, the master of the waiter, Dongfang Shuo, and so on.

As soon as Liu Che walked out, they all stood up and saluted: "Long live my emperor." ”

"Excuse me, excuse me, before the official start of the worship service, I asked Zhong Aiqing one thing, my uncle Liu An, the king of Huainan, was unable to come to the pilgrimage due to ill health, but this violated the ancestral system, how can I be good?"

The master's father squeezed his head and said first: "Your Majesty must be severely punished according to the ancestral system, otherwise there will be chaos in the world, and you will not obey Your Majesty's orders." ”

Gongsun Hong saw the lord father Yan and lost his appetite, and he hated his words and deeds very much, so Gongsun Hong, who was already sleek, said disdainfully to the words of the master father Yan: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the nonsense of the master father, the ancestral system should change with the development of the times, for the king who does not come to worship, the first emperor has a precedent, at that time it was also the former Huainan king Liu Yanchang was in poor health and could not come to congratulate, the first emperor gave him a few rods to decide whether to come or not, so that it does not violate the ancestral system, but also let the princes and kings experience the majesty of the emperor's grace." ”

"Well, Gongsun Aiqing's suggestion is good, not bad. ”

The master father stood in His Royal Highness and stuck out his tongue, unable to speak, so Liu Che told the envoy of Huainan Kingdom: "Your king is in a noble condition, go back and tell him to take care of his body, I will give him a few sticks, with this staff, the king of Huainan can not have to go to the court every year." ”

The envoy lay on the ground excitedly and said: "The minister will thank Your Majesty for the king of my family, and the minister will definitely bring a few rods to the king of my family, so that the king of my family can feel the grace of His Majesty." ”

"Well, good. ”

Next is the pilgrimage of the kings and ministers, Liu Che sat at the top of the hall and was very happy, stirring up a thousand waves in his heart, invisibly stimulating Liu Che's determination to strive to build a strong Han, so that the people are proud to live in the Han.

After retiring from the dynasty, the master father Yan was very angry in his heart, so he wanted to show it again, otherwise this would be a big heel in front of everyone, so he sharpened his head and ran to Liu Che with a smile, Liu Che was sitting on the side of the desk reading the board that was played, and when he looked up and saw the master father Yan walking to his side, he smiled and said: "Why didn't Aiqing retreat from the court?"

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to play with Your Majesty, not to mention that the minister can't sleep. ”

Liu Che smiled and said, "Oh, is there any difficulty in Aiqing, just say it." ”

The master father kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty's imperial grace is a blessing for all the people in the world, but at present, there is still a stubborn disease in the Han that cannot be cured, but today Your Majesty may make this disease even more severe." ”

Liu Che asked suspiciously: "Oh, is Aiqing accusing me of doing something wrong, please say it bluntly, there is no need to go around in circles, I named Aiqing as a confidant to want Aiqing to always put forward methods and ideas that are beneficial to the Han and the people for me, and contribute to the stability of the Liu family and the happiness of the people in the world." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister said it directly. ”

Liu Che waved his hand to the master father Yan to say quickly, the master father wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, "Your Majesty did not investigate clearly today why the King of Huainan did not come to the court to give a few rods, the minister thinks that Huainan is far away from Kyoto, it is inevitable that it will lose control, and after a long time, it will not be the same as Your Majesty, and it is necessary to strictly prevent these princes and kings from having bad intentions." ”

"Hehe, what Aiqing said is reasonable, take the fact that the king of Huainan does not come to congratulate me today, there is no threat to me, I can't go and cut off my uncle's head with a knife, but I want to eliminate the influence on other princes and kings, so I give the king of Huainan a few sticks, even if I know that the king of Huainan is playing some tricks, but I still can't move Uncle Wang's finger until I have the real evidence. ”

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable, but Your Majesty must first fortify them, nip these hidden dangers in the bud, and even if there are any signs, Your Majesty can destroy them without much effort, and prevent the recurrence of the history of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion. ”

"Well, that makes sense, but what can I do?"

"Your Majesty, the minister once gave His Majesty a decree of encouragement, this time is the best stage of promulgation and implementation, after the death of the princes and kings, they can divide the territory to their children, and all the princes are named princes, so that the big kingdom is smaller and smaller, and the forces will be more and more scattered, and it will be easy for Your Majesty to deal with that one in the future, and you will no longer worry about the princes looking for trouble. ”

"Well, I know what Aiqing said, and I personally keep the previous Shanggong Ban I, and tomorrow I will start to issue an edict and carry out the Tui En Order. ”

"Your Majesty, the blessings of the people. The master father watched Liu Che stay away from his wife's back, and his heart blossomed.

On the second day, the edict of the Tui En Decree was issued throughout the country, and a few days later, Liu An, the king of Huainan, received the edict to implement the Tui En Order, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable, so he summoned the Eight Princes to inquire, and the Eight Princes were the eight most famous strategists in Huainan Su Fei, Li Shang, Zuo Wu, Cause, Lei Quilt, Wu Quilt, Mao Zhou, Jin Chang, Liu An looked at the eight people sitting on both sides of the column and smiled: " Ladies and gentlemen, the king has received an edict from the emperor to officially implement the edict of Tui'en, and once this decree is issued, it will cause a split pattern for the forces of the princes and kings of various countries in the future, I don't know what you think. ”

In fact, the eight have long known that the emperor is going to issue this edict, because when the lord father Yan wrote the book, Liu Che deliberately leaked the content of the Tui En Decree and announced it to the world, observing the reaction of the world, these contents are actually a strengthened version of the small implementation of the first emperor, when Emperor Wenjing was a country that had signs of rebellion, it was divided and dispersed, and a complete system was not formed at that time, It is clear in everyone's heart that today's emperor has firmly established the throne, not a certain common people and the king who said that they could overthrow it, but the princes and kings don't think so, living in their own small world every day is indispensable, as if it can change the whole world, if you go against Liu An's meaning, you may lose your official position, but if you and Liu An completely follow it, you may embark on the road of rebellion, and your life will not be saved, so the eight princes, you look at me, I look at you, don't speak.

Liu An couldn't sit still a little, so he continued: "Ouch, what's wrong with all of you Aiqing, this king has to listen to your opinions, otherwise this king will be named, Wu Aiqing, you can talk about it." ”

Wu was unable to clear his throat and said: "King, now the world is stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the emperor loves the people like sons, and the edict issued is also for the sake of the king's descendants." ”

"Exactly, exactly, Wu Langzhong is right. The others chimed in.

Liu Anyi frowned and cried and laughed: "Oh, are you all pretending to be confused, this edict is ostensibly for the glory of the descendants of this king, and the descendants are all kings, but the forces are divided into countless ones, and in the end, no one can protect the foundation of the previous king for a long time, in case the world changes and there is no chance to survive, can't you see this?"

At this time, the eight people looked at each other, and none of them answered the words of King Huainan.
