Regarding Liu Ying's vague suggestion that 'it might be better to let the fifth Liu Hui be the king of Liang', Liu Bang nodded slightly in his heart.

Liu Bang's previous thoughts were basically the same as Liu Ying's.

- Yan, Liang, Jing, Huainan have no owners, at first glance, there are more than a dozen nephews and relatives to choose from, but in fact, there are only a few candidates for Liu Bang to choose.

Let's talk about Liu Bang's generation, the old Liu family counts Liu Bang himself, and there are four brothers;

The eldest brother Liu Bo died long before Liu Bangde was established as the king of Han, and even before the death of the first emperor, leaving only the wife who scraped the bottom of the pot against Liu Bang, Fan Xu, Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying and other 'idlers and lazy men', and Liu Xin, the son of Liu Bang who was named 'Marquis of Tangjie';

If nothing else, at least until Liu Bang's grave grass grows waist-high, it is impossible for this family to get any more titles except for the insulting marquis of 'Marquis of Tangjie'.

In this way, Liu Bang's eldest brother has no one to choose from.

As for the second brother Liu Xi, let alone mention.

- Liu Bang's dislike for the eldest brother's family, at least it is only because the sister-in-law scrapes the bottom of the pot in front of her 'guest', which makes her lose face;

Soon after the Battle of Qixia, Liu Bang, who was able to succeed the Son of Heaven, was also the first to posthumously crown his deceased brother as 'Marquis of Wu'.

But compared with the eldest family who was 'affected by the housemother', the second Liu Xi directly made Liu Bang scold, and even said to others in private several times: I don't have the face to say that this is my brother······

Needless to say, just six years ago, when Han Wangxin defected to the Xiongnu, which led to the Battle of Pingcheng in Han and Huns, Liu Xi, as the acting king, 'abandoned the country and fled', and was already on the permanent blacklist of candidates for canonization of the princes of the Han family.

——As a prince of the clan stationed on the frontier, he didn't see the shadow of the enemy, so he left the whole country alone and ran away, Liu Xi can save his head, and he has to be glad that his surname is Liu!

is Liu Xi's two sons, who are quite 'not father-like';

Whether it is the eldest son Liu Bi or the second son Liu Guang, they can be regarded as promising, although there is no praise in the market, but it is still worthy of duty.

Even if they can't count on their father, the two brothers also relied on themselves and saved a lot of merits in the process of pacifying the just-concluded Huainan Wang Yingbu Rebellion.

In this way, the second Liu Xi is in the same vein, and there are two candidates, Liu Wei and Liu Guang;

If you count the concern that 'it is inconvenient to have two princes in one vein', only one of these two people can be selected by Liu Bang as the new master of a certain vassal state in Kwantung.

As for the third child, it is naturally Liu Bang himself;

The fourth Liu Jiao, who has also been named the king of Chu, has the second largest vassal state in the world after Qi.

In this way, even if Liu Jiao has seven sons, there is no reason to give Liu Jiao's sons the title of king when Liu Jiao has already been crowned.

is still the same sentence: There can only be one king in one vein, unless the father is called Liu Bang.

In this way, the entire Liu Han clan can be chosen by Liu Bang, that is, one of the two sons of the second brother Liu Xi, as well as Liu Ze, a distant relative of the side, plus Liu Bang's eight sons, except for the crown prince Liu Ying, and the four younger sons who have been crowned kings, Liu Fei, the third Liu Ruyi, and the fourth Liu Heng.

- Full of calculations, the vacancies of the four vassal states, and the candidates available for Liu Bang to choose are only these six people!

It may not seem difficult to divide six people into four vassal states, but in reality, there are many key factors to be aware of.

First of all, Liu Jia, the former king of Jing, as a member of the side branch, fought with the rebellious Yingbu and sacrificed his life;

Therefore, whether it is out of family harmony or the unity between the various lineages of the Liu clan, Liu Bang cannot give his son the Jing State left by Liu Jia.

Otherwise, if a gossip comes out of which horn Gada says that Liu Jia's death in battle was a bureau set up by Liu Bang to regain Jing State, the credibility that the Han family has managed to accumulate will be gone in an instant.

- The emperor Lao'er, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, can do it to his relatives, how good can he be to our people?

In order not to let such an idea appear in the minds of any Han Chinese, Liu Bang must first exclude his own sons as the candidate for King Jing.

In this way, the belonging of Jing State will arise between 'one of Liu Xi's two sons' and 'Liu Bang's distant cousin Liu Ze'.

Considering the distance between relatives and Liu Ze, compared to himself and Liu Ze, who are really distant relatives who can't be beaten, Liu Bangzong has a lot of criticism for his second brother Liu Xi, and obviously he will be more willing to hand over this opportunity to be crowned king to the son of the second brother Liu Xi.

- As the emperor's elder brother, Liu Xi is hanging around with the Marquis of Che, if this spreads, Liu Bang will not be able to hang on his face, and it will also affect the image of the Han royal family to some extent.

But Liu Xi's previous 'performance' really made Liu Bang unable to put his mind at ease.

But if it is Feng Liu Xi's son, the matter will be perfectly resolved.

Liu Xi is his brother, so Liu Bang had to seal it, but he didn't dare to seal Liu Xi himself, so he simply gave Jing Guo to Liu Xi's son, which was also regarded as compensation for the second brother's lineage, the best of both worlds.

In this way, in the case of 'one of Liu Xi's two sons' booking the throne of King Jing, the situation has changed from 'six candidates competing for four vassal states' to 'five people competing for three vassal states'.

But if this is the case, Liu Bang will have a big head again.

——As the Son of Heaven, especially the founding emperor, Liu Bang even sealed Liu Xi's useless brother, can he still not seal his own son?

Even if it is just out of the consideration of 'making all his sons kings, so that he can help the prince's brother rule the world and be the son of heaven's siblings in the future', Liu Bang must ensure that on the day he closes his eyes, his eight sons must have a fall!

Therefore, after Jingdi has been arranged, the real situation is not that 'five people are fighting for three vassal states', but in addition to the three vassal states of Liang, Yan, and Huainan, Liu Bang has to find another place, make up enough for the four vassal states, and seal the remaining four younger sons!

Since there are three vassal states left, and even Liu Bangfeng's own son is not enough, then Liu Ze, a distant cousin, can only be a little behind.

Liu Bang hadn't had time to think about 'where to find another place to be a vassal state' and send that son to be the king of this 'new vassal state'.

But it is obvious: among the three kingdoms of Liang, Yan, and Huainan, the importance of the first two makes Liu Bang have to choose the most suitable candidate!

Especially the Liang State, which is located at the gateway of Guanzhong, is even more important for the Han family, which is about to change power in the visible future.

However, while the candidates for Yan and Liang need to be cautious, the 'quality' of the candidates available for Liu Bang is really unspeakable.

- Let's just say that among the remaining four sons who have not yet been crowned kings, the eldest fifth Liu Hui is only five years old this year······

No way.

Who let Liu Bang not care about himself, don't marry his daughter-in-law and have a baby early, and spread the bloodline?

At this time, he found that he was in his sixties, but his son was only in his early fives, and Liu Bang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Therefore, with the fifth Liu Hui as the king of Liang, and the prince's brother guarding the gate of Guanzhong, in order to ensure the regime change that will inevitably occur in the next few years, it is the right thing in the question.

The dwarf is pulling out the general!

Even if Liu Hui is young, it is better than those younger brothers who have not even had time to wean······

It really can't be done, so I can only follow Liu Ying's method just now, and send a reliable Wang Xiang to Liu Hui, the five-year-old king of Liang, by the way, and a prince Taifu, while helping Liu Hui take care of the feudal country, while educating Liu Hui.

"Hmmm······"

Nodding his head slowly, Liu Bang recognized Liu Ying's recommendation for King Liang.

As for Yan Guo, although Liu Ying was extremely cautious and did not directly recommend candidates, he basically said everything that should be said.

- The younger brothers are too young~

——Instead of thinking about the age of two or three, which is more suitable to be the king of Yan, it is better to think about it, find a reliable king for his younger brothers, and train for a few years first······

Thinking of this, Liu Bang was always depressed in his heart, and finally he could only nod his head slowly with a gloomy face.

is still the same sentence: Liu Bang, the son of heaven, married too late, gave birth too late, and the princes are too young······

The eldest Liu Fei is the only 'crowned adult' prince today, but he has long been sealed by Liu Bang to Qidi;

The second Liu Ying, even if he is the prince of the prince, but Liu Ying's age of fourteen or five once made Liu Bang feel at ease, and even gave birth to the heart of easy storage!

If it weren't for the fact that the third Liu Ruyi was even younger, Liu Bang would not have been so easy to give up the plan of 'easy storage and set up another one'······

The third Liu Ruyi and the fourth Liu Heng, one is just ten years old and the other is about to be eight years old, but they have been sent by Liu Bang to be the king of Dai and Zhao.

The brothers are only ten or eight years old, and the younger ones are the fifth Liu Hui, the sixth Liu You, the seventh Liu Chang, and the eighth Liu Jian, not to mention.

- Let's just say that Liu Jian, the eighth child in infancy, has not learned to call 'Dad' when Liu Bang leaves Chang'an this time!

Therefore, even if he didn't want to admit it in his heart, Liu Bang could only acquiesce in Liu Ying's suggestion, which was indeed the most unapproachable way.

"Alas······"

"The princes and kings ······ each other"

"It should be worthy of the heavy responsibility of 'Wang Taifu'·········"

Shaking his head and sighing bitterly with exhaustion, Liu Bang finally raised his hand and kept rubbing the corners of his eyes.

"How is Huainan?"

"Friends of the king? The Long King? Or build ······"

The tone was full of distress, and before he could finish his words, Liu Bang remembered the appearance of his youngest son Liu Jian's struggling breastfeeding, and couldn't help but sigh again.

In front of Liu Bang, when he heard his father ask about the belonging of Huainan Kingdom, Liu Ying's face changed suddenly.

After struggling with doubts for a long time, Liu Ying finally lowered his head slowly and bowed his hand to his father.

"Yan and Huainan are two countries, Yan is heavier, and Huainan is slightly lighter."

"Ranyou, Chang, and Jian are all young, and their father's eyes are like torches, so they can choose Wang Yan as their favorite."

"Huainan ······"

Saying that, Liu Ying's words were abrupt and abrupt to succeed to the throne, and after listening to it for a while, he continued in a low tone: "The land of Huainan is very broad, and my father may be able to ······ it."

"Well, it may be divided into two Huainan, with Wang Yu ······ two"

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Liu Bang waved his hand a little irritably.

"Not necessarily."

"Although the soil of Huainan is not narrow, it is slightly barren; If the two sons of the king are divided again, I am afraid that the people of the world will think: I am stingy to indulge my parents and sons, and I will not give up the land of the king. ”

"Hmmm······"

"Huaiyang."

"Huaiyang is located in the south of Zhao, the east of Liang, the north of Huainan, and the west of Qi and Chu."

"It is surrounded by five kingdoms on all sides, and even if it is a county, it is not much different from the land of the princes."

After saying these words to himself, Liu Bang patted his thigh lightly with a gloomy face.

"Hmm."

"Friends are young, and they believe in loneliness, and they don't like to talk to people, so they go to Wang Huaiyang, surrounded by their clan brothers, and they should know a little about the ······relatives of the temple."

After that, Liu Bang thought about it for a while, and continued to ask as if he hadn't heard Liu Ying's previous words: "How is Huainan?" ”

"The Elder King? Built by the king? ”

Seeing her father's reaction, Liu Ying only panicked and raised her head slightly worriedly.

- Didn't you say good small talk!

This is the same as Liu Ying's plan······

Only this time, Liu Bang didn't let Liu Ying think for too long, so he once again sprinkled the sharp gaze that could see through people on Liu Ying's face.

But Liu Bang is like this, and Liu Yingjue is more and more unclear: Does Dad want to test himself, or does he really want to listen to opinions?

Or······

"To put it bluntly."

"Even if you have the responsibility of being a prisoner of the country, the first one to take the precepts is the indecisive nature and the kindness of the woman!"

"Decide vigorously in every situation, do not mess up when encountering the enemy, treat the people leniently, strictly guard against the strong, do not give an inch in front of the foreign barbarians, think twice about the affairs of the country, the way of the tyrant and the king is mixed to rule the world, and the way of the wise monarch and the virtuous lord is combined!"

Seeing that his father had never told him about the standard of 'being a qualified emperor', Liu Ying only subconsciously straightened his body.

After seeing the urging in her father's eyes, Liu Ying hesitated again.

Just when Liu Bang's gaze became colder and colder, and he became more and more impatient, and even began to feel a little angry, Liu Ying finally slapped his hands in front of him like a warrior who was about to die!

"Return, return to my father's ······"

"I thought ······"

"I thought! The princes can be the king of Huainan, and they are the only ones who want to !! ”

"Erchen! I implore my father to agree, and move King Ruyi of Zhao to Wang Huainan, Anzong Temple, Sheji!!!!! ”

With all his strength and all the determination he could, he said this 'suggestion', which was very likely to cause a bloody storm, Liu Ying bowed his head and slammed his forehead between the hands holding the ground.

What Liu Ying didn't know was that at a position only half a step in front of him, looking at Liu Ying's prostrated figure, Liu Bang's changing face was ······

There was a flash of joy!

Although it was only for a moment, what Liu Ying, and even Liu Bang himself didn't know, was that this was the second time in his life that he showed such a touch of pure joy because of something about Liu Ying.

As for the first time, it was in the 37th year of Qin Shi Huang 14 years ago, when the imperial chariot of Zulong Yingzheng arrived near the sand dunes, and when he was about to die, Liu Bang, who was still working as a bandit in Dangshan to avoid being arrested by the Qin court, got the news from his own house.

- Born.

- It's a son.

- According to your previous meaning, call it Ying······

——Maintain the profit and hold the profit·········
