Chapter 0261 The generals attacked Yan and made meritorious contributions
Liu Ying, who sent Wang Ling and Zhang Cang away and left them alone in Fengyi Palace, couldn't help but fall into a long period of contemplation.
Previously, seeing a rebellion of the princes and kings, which led to the central army composed of the children of the good family in Guanzhong, and the rebel army composed of the young and strong villagers in the eastern part of the country, Liu Ying only thought that it was definitely better to suppress the separatist forces of the princes!
Especially the identity of Liu Bang's 'founding king' and the little life balance left make Liu Ying inexplicably feel a little impatient to 'hurry up and do more things with the status of an old man'.
But after Wang Ling's deep explanation, and even the detailed explanation that he couldn't break open and crush and stuff directly into Liu Ying's mind, Liu Ying finally reacted: why are many laws and regulations such as "Tui'en Order", "Collateral Law", "A Party Law" and so on, which have appeared in the Han family in history and achieved remarkable results, not applicable to today's Han family.
If you elaborate, there are a lot of things involved, but if you pick the key points, it is actually a sentence 'the background of the times is different'.
INTERVIEWER In the Han dynasty in history, what is the background of this series of legal regulations, especially the "Tui'en Order"?
The answer to this question is of great significance to the feasibility of the Tui En Order.
The "Decree of Tui'en" pursues the principle of 'the princes and the princes' and the king's sons', which is undoubtedly the model of 'equal distribution of inheritance'.
Today's Han family, from the inheritance of the position of the Son of Heaven, the canonization of the prince and the crown prince, to the division of ordinary peasant households, and even the question of 'whether the descendants of slaves should be slaves' or not, all pursue the system of 'primogeniture'.
In the words of later generations, it is to establish a successor.
In this case, the "Tui En Order" was introduced by the Son of Heaven and the central court as the ruling class, and used in the group of princes and princes who were also at the top of the pyramid, which would obviously have a very bad impact.
As the saying goes: the top is good, the bottom is effective.
When the group at the top of the pyramid begins to play 'inheritance equalization', then in the long run, the ordinary people at the bottom of the pyramid will also join in, either actively or passively.
And when the model of 'equal distribution of inheritance' becomes a universal value in the class range of commoners-princes and kings, which almost encompasses the whole world, it will inevitably have an impact on the top of the pyramid.
To put it simply, the whole world is 'sharing the inheritance', which will inevitably lead to the Son of Heaven being affected by this problem.
But what is obvious is that there is no such thing as 'equal distribution of inheritance' for the imperial throne and imperial power.
So why did the historical "Tui En Order" achieve results without causing this problem?
The answer is: when the historical "Tui En Order" appeared in the Han Dynasty, the rules of inheritance of the throne based on the inheritance of the eldest son had long been actively destroyed by the Son of Heaven······
——First of all, Liu Heng, the fourth son of the founding emperor Liu Bang, took over the throne of the son of heaven under his nephew, that is, Liu Hong, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty in history, and destroyed the inheritance rules of the 'primogeniture inheritance system' for the first time with the action of 'nephew dies and uncle'.
However, this time, Liu Heng can barely understand that 'there is really no one in the clan, in order to ensure the extension of the sect temple, he can only make up for it himself'.
However, in the second generation just after Liu Heng, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che successfully succeeded to inherit the throne as the tenth son of Emperor Jing Liu Qi and the identity of 'concubine', the last fig leaf of the 'primogeniture inheritance system' has also been torn off.
The reason is very simple: although your grandfather Liu Heng is a concubine, he inherited the throne, and it can be said that his brothers are all dead, and for the sake of the family's inheritance, he can only 'side branch into succession';
But you Liu Che, why?
Even if you remove the eldest brother who was deposed as the crown prince, there are still eight brothers above you, and even two concubines, you are a concubine, and you are also the 'seventh son', why did you sit on this throne?
For this question, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che naturally could not give an answer, and no one would really ask.
But if you don't ask, it doesn't mean that the ascension to the throne of Emperor Wu Liu Che will not shake the sacred and unshakable 'primogeniture inheritance system' in the minds of the people.
In this way, it is logical that the "Tui En Order", a legal regulation advocating 'equal distribution of inheritance', appeared.
- Because before the implementation of the "Tui En Order", Emperor Wu Liu Che used his own personal experience to defeat the crumbling 'primogeniture inheritance system'.
Since the Heavenly Family and the Royal Family do not pay attention to the primogeniture inheritance system, there is no problem in introducing a decree to destroy the rule of 'primogeniture inheriting the throne' pursued by the princes and kings.
As for the inheritance distribution model of 'the eldest son no longer eats all, and the concubine and young son can also drink soup' after the heavenly family and the clan began to play, it is an irrelevant question whether the ordinary people at the bottom follow up.
If the emergence and effect of the "Tui'en Order" in the Wudi Dynasty is because the primogeniture inheritance system was destroyed by Liu Heng-Liu Qi-Liu Che, then the emergence of other 'additional regulations' such as the "Collateral Law" and "A Party Law" is completely a group of princes and kings planting melons and getting melons, and planting beans and getting beans.
——Before the advent of many laws and regulations restricting the power of princes and kings, such as the "Zuoguan Order", "Ancillary Benefit Law", and "A Party Law", what did the Han family experience?
The answer is at least three rebellions before and after, and each time it dealt a major blow to the Han family!
For the first time, it was the death of Empress Lü, and Prime Minister Chen Ping and Taiwei Zhou Bo colluded with Liu Xiang (Liu Feizi), the king of Qi, to launch an armed coup against Lü's relatives!
This coup d'état directly led to the extinction of Emperor Hui's lineage, and the throne of Liu Han was inherited by Liu Ying, the eldest son of Gaozu Yan in history, and was inherited by Liu Heng, the fourth son.
The second time was the rebellion launched by Liu Xingju (Liu Feizi), the king of Jibei, when Liu Heng, the emperor of Han Wen in history, gathered a large army and was about to fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu.
This rebellion caused the Han family to suffer huge losses at that time, and the strategic resources accumulated over the years and the strategic advantage over the Xiongnu were in vain.
The third time, it will make the future generations famous.
——Occurred in the early years of Emperor Jing, initiated by Liu Wei, King of Wu, with the main cooperation of Liu Wu, King of Chu, and the joint participation of all the kings of Qidi!
In this rebellion, Liu Han's regime was tested several times before finally winning with difficulty and protecting Han Zuo.
With these three rebellions of the clan princes and princes that had a huge impact and were widely implicated, and posed a serious threat to Liu Han's regime, the laws and regulations restricting the power of the princes and kings, such as the "Zuoguan Decree", the "Collateral Law" and the "A Party Law", could be regarded as having a basis for smooth implementation.
As for now?
At the moment when the founding emperor Liu Bang was still alive, and the princes of the clan had just gradually replaced the princes with different surnames with the political labels of 'reliable' and 'trustworthy', and did not reveal the slightest threat, if Liu Ying dared to mention 'restricting the princes of the clan', he would inevitably be criticized by the whole world!
- Don't you talk about family harmony?
- Do you want to be a brother and a friend?
——Do you still respect filial piety and do you not abide by it and do you advocate it?
The most important thing is: the princes of the clan did not make a mistake at all, and you are a younger brother/nephew who is busy guarding against your brother/uncle all day long, just this little belly, you are also worthy of being a prince?
Is it also worthy of inheriting the temple shrine?
is even more exaggerated, and it is not even ruled out that some people will use Liu Jia, the king of Jing, who 'fought bravely and sacrificed his life for the country', as direct evidence that 'the princes of the clan are simply the arms of the Son of Heaven'.
Combined with all this, Liu Yingzong was unwilling to admit it, so she could only bow her head silently.
- If you want to maintain the primogeniture inheritance system that makes you the crown prince, "Tui En Order" must not appear!
At least not for the time being.
Moreover, before the princes of the clan took the initiative to reveal their threats to the regime and take the initiative to make actions that were unfavorable to the world, no laws and regulations restricting the power of the princes and kings could appear in the Han Dynasty.
Gu Qi
There is no other reason: if the name is not right, the word is not good.
That's it······
"Alas~"
"No wonder ······"
"No wonder Emperor Wu's family is cutting the feudal domain, pushing grace, and "Zuoguan Order" and "Collateral Law", they have such a happy time······
"Co-authoring is to take the initiative to put your face away and don't go first, and grab the handle of the clan princes in the back······"
With a self-deprecating smile on her face and a shake of her head, Liu Ying finally straightened her upper body and sighed leisurely.
For his 'genius idea' was completely denied by Wang Ling, to say that Liu Ying did not have the slightest loneliness in his heart, it was obviously self-deception.
But after this reflection just now, Liu Ying still feels that she has 'benefited a lot' more than being lonely.
If before this, the sentence 'the quality of the policy depends not only on the policy itself, but also on the background of the times', which is a dogma and a theory for Liu Ying, then from now on, Liu Ying can be regarded as personally experiencing the true meaning implied by this sentence.
With such a 'failure experience' that did not cause the slightest adverse reaction and did not cause anyone to suffer any losses, when similar things happen in the future, Liu Ying can also deal with them more calmly and look at the problem in a comprehensive way.
Physically, this feeling of 'although I know that I am wrong, but there is no negative emotion', and the thinking triggered after the failure, still makes Liu Ying feel something different.
But what Liu Ying didn't know was that once upon a time, Liu Bang, the forty-nine-year-old king of the Han Dynasty, had also experienced the strange feeling of 'not being lonely because of failure', just like Liu Ying now.
And this feeling was described by Prime Minister Xiao He as 'growing up', and was evaluated by the Han family as 'outstanding talent';
In later generations, it is recognized: growth.
·
When Liu Bang's car was getting closer and closer to Fengyi, and the atmosphere in Fengpei was becoming more and more festive, Handan, the capital of Zhao, thousands of miles away, was a strange silence.
In a large mansion not far from King Zhao's palace, three men with different appearances and equally luxurious clothes sat looking at each other, but they didn't say a word.
Looking at Fan Xu's gradually clenched fists, as well as the tooth sockets that had already been clenched and made noises from time to time, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo looked at each other, and finally could only get up with a wry smile.
"Left Xiangguo ······"
"Roll !!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard a thunderous shout resounding through the hall, causing Chen Ping to hurriedly lean his upper body back!
When he turned around, Chen Ping only subconsciously turned sideways, and saw Zhou Bo squinting slightly, although he was still kneeling on the feast, but the hand covered with green tendons had quietly helped the hilt of the sword······
coughed lightly twice, attracting Zhou Bo's attention to himself, and shook his head slightly at Zhou Bo.
After Zhou Bo withdrew his hand from the hilt of the sword with a suspicious face, Chen Ping took another deep breath, took two steps forward, and bowed to Fan Xu.
"Zuo Xiangguo is angry with the two of us, which is really unwise······"
"Unwise?!"
"Humph!!"
Interrupting Chen Ping's unfinished words again, he saw Fan Hao snort coldly and took advantage of the situation!
"If it weren't for the fact that the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the central government didn't dare to speak out loyally, Your Majesty would be able to listen to the villain's slander and add guilt to the plot in the name of 'rebellion'?!"
"You can send two of you, first with a rope to tie to a certain one, and then inexplicably release the ?!!!"
"So that Qu Yihou knows!!"
"If you are not wise, I am afraid that on the same day, you should take the heads of the two of you and present them to your majesty in front of you!!!!!"
Full of resentment, he vented the anger in his heart, and Fan Xu simply stopped sitting, but only stepped on the desk in front of him.
Seeing Fan Xu's posture, Chen Ping finally stopped hesitating, lowered his head slightly and groaned, and went straight to the point.
"Since Your Majesty has been abundant and anti-tyrannical Qin, the Marquis of Wuyang has been around Your Majesty for a long time, and the Marquis of Wuyang should know very well about His Majesty's temperament."
"Your Majesty, but if you are slandered, you will be guilty of the faint evil of the humerus?"
As he spoke, Chen Ping did not forget to turn his head sideways and pouted at Zhou Bo.
"The contemptible person is not His Majesty's Yuan Servant, and the Marquis of Wuyang is not contemptible, which is still excusable."
"Why did the Marquis of Wuyang, even the Marquis of Jiang, not believe him?"
Hearing Chen Ping's words, Fan Xu didn't know if it was because he had vented his anger, and the expression on his face really eased a little.
But on his lips, Fan Xu still didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.
"Since the abundance of the same thing and His Majesty is around, a certain Marquis of Jiang, this trust is great."
"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have designed a tie for you and you that day."
Hearing that Fan Xu's words were still a little dissatisfied, Chen Ping only sighed slightly, then turned sideways and shook his head slightly at Zhou Bo.
Seeing Chen Ping's gesture, Zhou Bo finally got up from his seat, stepped forward, and came to the position where Fan Xu was only half a step away.
"The loyalty of the Marquis of Wuyang to His Majesty is unknown to others, and the ministers of the court and the central government, such as the Marquis of Yu and the Marquis of Liu, are still known."
"What the Marquis of Wuyang doesn't know is that His Majesty is old, and he has a lot of ill feelings, and the prince is ······young."
Because of the deep defense of Liu Bang's suspicion of Fan Xu, Zhou Bo took out a brief book from his arms and handed it to Fan Xu.
"Take a look at the Marquis of Wuyang."
"A certain Tongqu rebelled against the Hou to persuade a little, and His Majesty sent an envoy to write a letter, ordering the Marquis of Wuyang to attack Yan and make meritorious service for his crimes."
Saying that, Zhou Bo didn't forget to look at Chen Ping again, and then continued to say to Fan Xu: "Your Majesty specially ordered the Marquis of Wuyang to attack Yan, and the Marquis of Wuyang is angry with the two of us, and it should also be for Your Majesty, and it is ······ to have a little gratitude."
