Chapter 5: Zhao Gong, help!
Trimester!
In just three months, the wolf-like founding heroes of the country devoured King Yan alive, and the most terrifying thing was that many subjects of Yan Kingdom not only did not want to resist, but even sold King Yan directly.
The changes in people's hearts are like flowing water, every moment is different, and too many people are tired of endless wars.
Especially King Yan, a broken ship that was about to sink at a glance, the Han Emperor came out to fight without even bringing Han Xin, this is the supreme contempt, even if he defeats Liu Bang, what can he do, Han Xin led a large army to come, who in the world can stop it?
Except for a handful of die-hard loyalists, no one really wants to die on it.
Yan country, Jicheng.
Liu Bangjunchen looked at the king of Yan who was tied up with five flowers, and asked, "Zhongqing, what do you think should be done with this rebellious person?" ”
King Yan is mortal!
This is the consensus of everyone, for a normal king, the one who leads the rebellion will die, this is an iron law of politics, and no one will violate it.
But after killing the leader, this part of the liquidation is negotiable for the rebel's family, as well as the family of his cronies.
"Your Majesty, according to the Han law, the three clans should be wiped out."
The current Han law is a temporary product of the substantial deletion of the Qin law, which basically deleted all the content of Luoling's practice of law, such as not allowing private book collections and not allowing free travel.
In addition, the countless conscription and military service of the Qin Dynasty were greatly reduced, and the neighbor's crime was naturally abolished, and the whole world seemed to have recovered from the depression.
It was too easy for the Han Dynasty to win the hearts of the people, as long as it was a little looser, the good opinion of the whole world Li people towards Liu Bang would rise.
Hearing that the three clans were going to be wiped out, King Yan's whole person began to tremble, Luo Yi frowned slightly, and asked Liu Bang: "Your Majesty, do you think that once King Yan is defeated, there is still someone in the entire Yan Kingdom who can threaten you and the Han?" ”
Liu Bang laughed when he heard this: "Ziyu, the sea can always accommodate a stream, and the slight flap of Kunpeng's wings far exceeds that of a bird."
I am the commander who once fought against Xiang Yu, how powerful Xiang Yu is, I will not fall behind in the confrontation with him in Xingyang.
Even if I release King Yan now, I don't think he can threaten the Great Han, I don't even know who gave him the courage to rebel, does he think he is a fierce general like Yingbu?
A nobleman who is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
Although Liu Bang was bragging, naturally no one would say it without interest, and a cheerful voice sounded above the entire hall of Yanwang Palace.
The generals were in a good mood, King Yan fell, and the heroes were full.
After this battle, it was easy, there was no danger, there was no problem at all with three or five hundred households in the food town, and the generals now only hoped that there would be a few kings with different surnames to rebel quickly.
For the glory and wealth of his brothers, he borrowed the head of the king.
Luo Yi also smiled and said, "In this case, the minister suggested that Your Majesty not kill King Yan's relatives, which is exactly what the minister wants to give to Your Majesty."
You have to love people, people are the most precious thing in this world.
In the past, one of the most important reasons for King Wu's war was that the human sacrifice of the Shang Dynasty had reached a point of madness.
The Zhou tribe captured the population of sacrifices for the Shang king in the west, but the king of Zhou was not satisfied, especially in order to show respect for the emperor, and even sacrificed those nobles with noble status, and the nobles of Bang Zhou died in Chaoge City.
So Bang Zhou destroyed Yin Shang, although there are still people martyred in this world, but human sacrifice has disappeared.
In addition, as King Su and the ancestors of the past dynasties did not use human martyrdom, the custom of martyrdom gradually decreased, at least in the Kanto region, which is basically no longer seen.
King Su quelled the rebellion of the Three Eunuchs, but did not kill the nobles, and the royal family of Yin Shang participated in the rebellion, but King Su placed them in the Song Dynasty and still made them monarchs.
Because killing is simple, but the people who can use it are rare.
In such a big family, there are probably no less than thousands of people who are close to each other, and it is a pity to kill these people.
To the south of Jiangdong is Lingnan, and although the First Emperor had conquered there, it was only in name and did not have actual rule.
The Qin general Zhao Tuo stood on his own there, and Zhuxia could be regarded as having a certain ruling foundation there.
But that's not enough, there's a huge shortage of people there.
If you want to move the relatives of the Yan King there, you can send people to inspect them every three or five years, until they have made meritorious deeds, such as how much land they have opened, how many precious tributes they have paid, or what genius has appeared in the clan, before they can return to the Central Plains.
You don't kill them because it's a grace to them, and you give them hope to return, and it's a grace again, and I can't think of what they can do but praise you day and night. ”
From execution to exile, there is no way to say which one is better, some people feel that it is better to die than to live, and some people are unwilling to live in the world in pain.
However, what Luo also proposed was not a simple exile, but more like to atone for sins and open up the wasteland, and it was a clear goal to open up the wasteland, as long as he made meritorious deeds or received some cherished tribute, it was possible to forgive the crime and return to the Central Plains.
Luo Yi's proposal gave them hope, which was the most precious thing in the world.
Liu Bang pondered for a moment, thought about several kings with different surnames on the old Chu in the south, and immediately said, "Ziyu's proposal is very good.
Bang Zhou's expansion of the territory was unparalleled, and the Qin Dynasty also contributed to the territory, and the Han Dynasty must not be left behind.
It is necessary to develop all the land in the world.
First escort all the relatives of King Yan back to Luoyang, and then send them all to Lingnan and even Qiongzhou when the time is ripe.
King Yan, do you have any opinion on my decision? ”
King Yan, who was finally able to speak, shed two lines of tears in his eyes, and choked up: "Your Majesty's grace, the guilty minister will die." ”
……
Linzi City.
When Lu Cheng, the king of Qi, heard the news that his subordinates had reported to him about the rebellion of King Yan, and then he was pacified by Liu Bang in three months, and Liu Bang had named his brother King of Yan, he fell into deep thought.
"The King?"
Qi Lian shouted at him several times but didn't react, until his voice increased, Qi Xiang asked, "King, what's wrong with you?" ”
King Qi frowned and said, "King Yan, this thing is not right, what is he rebelling for, he really thinks he can beat His Majesty?"
Even if he defeated His Majesty by luck, as soon as the general Han Xin came, he was still a chicken and a dog, and he was vulnerable. ”
Qi King Lu Cheng was puzzled, shook his head and stopped thinking, and instead asked, "Prime Minister, do you have something important to come here?" ”
Qi Xiang took out a piece of cloth and handed it to Lu Cheng, the king of Qi, and said, "This is sent by the queen and Lu Hou together, saying that they will be handed over to you." ”
As soon as he heard that it was sent by Lu Pheasant and Lu Ze, Lu Cheng hurriedly took it, and in today's world, the Lu clan can be regarded as revived.
Not only him, the king of Qi, but also Lu Pheasant, the queen and Lu Ze, the central mountain, there are people in the inner court, the outer court, and the locality.
If it weren't for the support of Liu Bang from the Meritorious Hero Group, the Lu family would be stronger than the Liu family, which is why Lu Pheasant sneered at Liu Bang for wanting to change the prince.
This is also the reason why Liu Bang must get rid of the king with a different surname and divide the Liu family, Liu Bang really hopes that these Liu clan relatives can defend the Son of Heaven and support him as the emperor.
The more King Qi looked at it, the more frightened he became, of course Lu Pheasant would not say nakedly that Liu Bang wanted to eradicate the king with a different surname.
But the timing of the letter was just right, and it was with the Luoyang Palace that it was going to seal the kings, and then exterminated the Yan Kingdom and supported the clan relatives as the King of Yan, how could it not make the King of Qi frightened.
Moreover, the letter also revealed that Liu Bang wanted to give the King of Chu the same title to his brother, and he was a hero of great military achievements.
Lu Cheng is not a fool, otherwise Luo Ling would not help him, and Lu Pheasant and Lu Ze would not value this clan relative, and they specially sent this letter for him, which was clearly to protect his life.
Lu Pheasant and Lu Ze have this ability, and the most important thing is that Liu Bang's action against Lu Cheng will make the entire Lu clan feel uneasy, and the Lu clan will not be able to settle down.
Lu Cheng was secretly glad that he had listened to Luo Ling's advice and did not compete with Lu Ze, who was closer in blood, for the control of the Lu clan, "The way of the world has really changed, the central court is the strongest, there are many generals, and the speed of the march is much faster than that of the Bang Zhou period, it is too difficult to fight." ”
Thinking of this, Lu Cheng immediately said: "Get a pen for the widow, the widow wants to reply to the queen and Lu Hou to thank him, and prepare a car for the widow immediately, and the widow will go to Zhaocheng to visit Zhaogong." ”
If you have something to decide, look for Zhao Gong, don't care if your opinions are unreasonable, just listen to it, Zhao Gong's wisdom is ten times better than me, this is Lu Cheng's way of survival.
Shojo.
King Qi looked at this city, and a sense of heaviness overwhelmed him, this was a newly established city, but it showed a sense of simplicity.
"It's so good, I don't know how that little cub lives here, I think it's very happy, and I don't miss the old father of Qi at all."
Lu Cheng hurriedly walked into Zhaocheng with a sigh of emotion, Luoling, which is difficult for ordinary people to see, is still relatively simple for him, after all, he is a relative of Luoling and a loyal horse, and this status is still there.
After seeing Luoling, Lu Cheng was about to cry on the spot, "Zhaogong, now you are the only one who can save my life, choose a path for the city." ”
Luo Ling felt a little nervous every time he faced King Qi, and said helplessly: "King, sit upright, don't be so frivolous, you are also a descendant of the Lu family, how can there be such a big gap between the personality of the queen and Lu Hou, but it is a bit like His Majesty the Emperor."
I know that there is a queen in you who is not in danger of your life, but if you want to list the territory and seal the territory, even the county and the county of the big country lord, it is impossible, now it is not Bangzhou. ”
When Lu Cheng heard this, he knew that there was no way, he obeyed Luo Lingyan, and could only sigh slightly: "Liu Bang, this dog thing, everyone fights the world together, he Liu family has been going on for generations, we can't do it."
Zhao Gong, you say, what should the city do? ”

Gong Jiang Xu, the predicate said: "After a hundred years, if I don't make a decision, I will ask Ji Zhaogong."
Zhaogong Tianlong, the posture of the dragon and phoenix, but there is a saying, the high mountain is near the abyss, the place of death and life, and it is worshipped. - "Historical Records: The Family of King Qi Weiguang"
