Chapter 4: The world must be truly unified

Here, Luo Ling got Ji Zhao's instructions to start preparing for the Western Regions, and Liu Bang gathered a group of his old brothers in Luoyang, as long as Liu Bang didn't mention such a sensitive matter as changing the prince, these people were Liu Bang's irons.

As the night fell, the Luoyang Palace was brightly lit, countless palace people shuttled among them, and a group of heroes chatted in the main hall.

The most striking thing is, of course, Han Xin, not because of his high position, on the contrary, he is now at home.

Liu Bang appointed him as a lieutenant, but he refused, saying that he had fought all his life and wanted to enjoy himself, so he hung the title of a great general, which was obviously not wanting to participate in politics.

But no one will ignore him, after Xiang Yu's death, he is now the first in the world on the road of soldiers, and the fault line.

Others are afraid of leisure because they can be replaced, but Han Xin is not afraid, and when something happens, he will be quickly reinstated, and he will be put on the expedition.

Fan Hao stepped forward and said with a smile: "The general is fine, the Marquis of Anyang is well, some time ago, the dog was full of moon, and I posted to the two of you, but it's a pity that the two of you are inconvenient and couldn't come."

The sage said that it is not the right thing for a gentleman to do to accept a heavy gift without thanking him. ”

Luo Cai chuckled: "Wuyang Hou is polite, Cai is not in good health, I can't go, a few gifts will be regarded as reparation, your wife is noble, you are a rare hero, it is really a match made in heaven, I hope you and your wife will always be together." ”

"Yinghou has arrived!"

As the palace people sang, Luo Cai hurriedly rushed out, and when he saw Luo Yi walking in, he said coquettishly: "My brother actually came back from Guanzhong, and he didn't say a word in the letter, which is really worrying." ”

Luo Yi said with a smile: "Your Majesty's letter came in such a hurry that I rushed back from Guanzhong without having time to react, and then went directly to the palace, it was my brother's fault, and then I will definitely apologize to Ah Cai." ”

Luo Cai approached and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what is Your Majesty going to do?" It doesn't look like a simple banquet for the ministers, and there have been no festivals and happy events recently. ”

As soon as Luo Yi came back, he entered the palace, Liu Bang naturally explained a lot of things to him, and now in the face of Luo Cai's inquiry, he also said in a low voice: "It's indeed a big deal, but it can't affect us, you were right to let Zimu resign from the throne at the beginning, and she really deserves to be a talented woman of the Luo family." ”

Luo Cai was shocked, of course she understood what Luo Yi meant, Liu Bang was going to do something to the king with a different surname, Luo Cai asked in disbelief: "Although this matter is sooner or later, the eldest brother said that there should not be such a large kingdom in the Central Plains."

But is Your Majesty so impatient?

The treacherous killing of Xiang Yu has not been forgotten by the world.

Now that he is going to do something to the king with a different surname, does he completely ignore his posthumous name? ”

The Luo clan had long studied it and came to the conclusion that there was no need to seal the kings in the north of Zhao Wei and Han Qi, and the central dynasty ruled in these lands with more benefits than expenditures, so the Luo clan supported that this part of the land should be managed by the royal court.

Luo Yi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty has never cared about your reputation.

He can be regarded as the informality of those who achieve great things to the fullest.

And His Majesty knows very well what a brother is, so he never made any political promises in the name of King Su and Luo Shui.

He did this, and his brother didn't know what to say. ”

Needless to say, there is no need to say much in the name of King Su, only those who swear sincerely will take King Su as the name, as long as there is a little ghost in their hearts, they will not dare to use the name of King Su.

Needless to say, Luoshui was also sealed to the east of the Luoshui tributary, so he established the country of Luo, with Luo as the clan.

The water of Yiluo cultivated the divine city of Luoyang, and the successive Luohou and the overlords of the world pointed to Luoshui under the witness of the Luo clan and swore that this was already a sacred river.

On that day, if Liu Bang and Xiang Yu swore by pointing at Luo Shui, even if Luo Ling did not witness for them, maybe Liu Bang would temporarily let Xiang Yu go because he couldn't understand Luo Ling's attitude, and then find another reason to clean up Xiang Yu.

Luo Cai has always disliked Liu Bang, and when he heard this, he was even more angry with Liu Bang, and said: "Brother, Your Majesty doesn't care what he does.

But you are his close retainer, and his bad reputation will definitely affect you.

Although the historians are our own people, we will write impartially when the time comes.

But people's hearts are complicated, and there are so many villains in the world, which will still affect you after all. ”

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

A sudden voice interrupted everyone's conversation, and Lo Tse and Lo also sat down.

Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant came together, Lu Pheasant was wearing a full set of palace clothes, but Liu Bang was dressed very casually, with a relaxed smile on his face.

Many people were relieved that this was probably a banquet for His Majesty to give grace to his courtiers.

Sure enough, Liu Bang didn't talk about any topics related to politics, but instead talked about the past, recalling the ups and downs along the way with his ministers.

Everyone is drinking and having fun in this hall, the musicians are replaced in waves, and the dancing palace ladies are dancing in the hall, and the clothes are fragrant, which is really a prosperous scene of the prosperous era.

I don't know how long I drank it, Liu Bang suddenly let out a long sigh, and Luo also understood that it was time for him.

So Lang Sheng asked: "Your Majesty, you are the lord of the world, the emperor of all Han people, is there anything in this world that you can't do?"

Why sigh, this palace full of ministers can share your worries. ”

The sound of silk and bamboo gradually stopped, and the eyes of the ministers in the hall were projected.

Liu Bang sighed and said: "Looking at the Zhuxia Dynasty, there is no one who can not be destroyed, but the time gap between existence is completely different.

O Yinghou, your ancestors, King Wu and King Su, established the Yaoyao Bang Zhou, which has been passed down for thousands of years, far better than the previous dynasties, not to mention the Qin Dynasty, why is this? ”

The ministers were a little confused, and they didn't understand what Liu Bang wanted to say, Luo Yi said: "All the concubines work together, defend the royal family, save the country and save the country, so there is a thousand-year mandate of heaven." ”

Liu Bang looked around the hall and said loudly: "Yes."

The Zhou royal family has encountered the crisis of extinction many times, but in the end it has survived smoothly.

It is because the princes of Luo and Jin supported the Zhou royal family.

The Zhou royal family once fell into decline, and even the princes did not pay tribute to him, but the Duke of Qi Huan respected the king and was able to make the Zhou royal family noble again.

In the second decline, Duke Wen of Jin once again supported the royal family and was able to make the royal family noble.

When these princes surnamed Ji perished, the Luo Kingdom had no ability to shelter, and the mandate of the Zhou royal family came to an end.

Now that the world is peaceful, will it always be peaceful?

Will there be people who are dissatisfied with me, or who want to rebel after a hundred years? ”

I see!

The ministers instantly understood what Liu Bang wanted to do, he wanted to seal the Liu family's clan to ensure the stability of the Liu family.

This is the era of the family, and relying on relatives is what every king will do.

Liu Bang's behavior couldn't be more normal.

But the problem is that there is only so much land under the direct jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven, why did he do this?

In particular, the stakes are so high that it is impossible to divide them.

Then only Zhao Di and Chu Di were vacant, and at first he wanted to give Han Xin the title of King Zhao, but he refused, and after Xiang Yu collapsed, King Chu was also vacant.

These two thrones are very critical, whether it is Zhao or Chu, they are both powerful countries, although Liu Bang can't control these two places now, but once they are separated, it is like water spilled out, and it will be difficult to get them back.

This throne will definitely not be given to the crown prince, that is, it will be given to other princes.

Hiss!

The ministers only felt a chill on their backs, Liu Bang wouldn't be thinking about changing the prince, wouldn't he be the king of the king?

Everyone secretly watched Lu Pheasant's expression, but they didn't expect Lu Pheasant to say a word, and still sat quietly, which made the ministers a little confused.

In fact, Lu Pheasant also believed that Liu Bang was by killing the king with a different surname and killing two birds with one stone to cultivate power for Liu Ruyi, so as to suppress the power of the Lu family.

But Lu Pheasant's current level is extremely high, she doesn't think Liu Bang can do it at all, from top to bottom, either my person or someone who supports the eldest son.

Don't look at Liu Ying as just a child, but his full-fledged wings are not much better than Liu Bang.

Unless he doesn't want it anymore.

Lu Pheasant has already seen through Liu Bang, any favor is false, as long as Liu Bang finds that changing the crown prince is not worth the loss to the Han Dynasty, he will stop immediately.

Eliminating the king with a different surname is also what Lu Pheasant wants to do, so she let Liu Bang's behavior go.

At this moment, the attendant suddenly hurriedly walked in, came to Liu Bang and whispered a few words in his ear, and the people who were paying attention to Liu Bang saw that the expression on Liu Bang's face gradually turned cold.

"Hateful!"

Liu Bang suddenly shouted angrily, and even threw the wine glass in his hand directly, everyone in the hall was shocked, and then they heard Liu Bang say angrily: "King Yan is worried that I will liquidate him because of his previous surrender to Xiang Yu, and he actually plotted to rebel, he is really the wolf of Zhongshan, and he doesn't know benevolence." ”

King Yan was forced by Han Xin to carry the general situation, so he surrendered, but after coming to his senses, he found that Yan Guo could withstand Han Xin's attack, but it was too late at this time, so he led the army to follow Han Xin to attack Chu, and then Liu Bang recognized this reality and re-divided Yan Guo to him.

As soon as Liu Bang's words came out, the hall was immediately excited, and it was a rebellion, Xiang Yu had experienced this at the beginning, and now the Han Dynasty will also experience this?

The fief you just got hasn't been covered yet, and you want to overthrow the Han Dynasty?

It doesn't matter if you really rebel or not, press it down first, this is the unanimous mentality of the ministers.

————

After the establishment of the Han Empire, according to the Chinese political tradition, the emperor of the empire tried to firmly control the power in the hands of his own family, so he inevitably went to war with the kings who were de facto independent, and the high nobility of the empire, the vast majority of the marquises, strongly supported the emperor's war plan, and the kings were quickly defeated in front of these battle-hardened generals, and the war had a huge historical impact, that is, the kings outside the royal family became political outliers. -- General History of the World: Ancient China

I synthesized the stories of many generals from the history books and arranged them for the second child of the Luo family, Liu Bang's era is not long, so I should be able to see it.
