Chapter 11: Surprise
"Emperor Yurenzong's filial piety and imperial edict, acting on behalf of the emperor, the regent of the prime minister's edict:
The death of the king of Huainan was a great misfortune for the clan, and the emperor lamented it very much.
I summoned the sons of the king of Huainan, all of whom had the ability to govern the country and secure the country, but they were in Shandong and could not be used by the imperial court.
What King Huainan lamented before his death was that the concubine could not get the grace of the court and had no place to live.
The court is worried, and the king of Huainan is also worried.
I think that the common people have surplus wealth, even if they are different, but they still have their own income, and I think that although the prince inherits the throne, all the princes can be crowned kings.
From this point of view, this is true of both the upper and lower, the rich and the poor, and the beloved children of their parents.
A patriarch like King Huainan let him die with regret, which is not what filial piety should do.
It was wrong for the imperial court to know about this and not to make amends.
I can't help but ask, as the most honorable prince and king of the Han Dynasty, is it appropriate to not walk with the royal family at the top, and not as benevolent and filial piety as the people?
The elder brother is the king, the brocade clothes and jade food, in and out of the line, but the brothers are humble and shabby, so like this, isn't it a joke for brothers, friends and brothers?
Life in the world, virtue first, can be last, the family is the pillar of the country, if virtue is unbearable, is it not a disaster for the country?
I am really worried about the affairs of the world under the edict of Emperor Xiaohui.
I think deeply, in the past, the king of Qi Lu Cheng surrendered to the public, and Emperor Gao took Qi counties and counties to seal the thirteen marquis of the Lu family.
This is a model that the clan should learn to emulate.
In the name of the imperial court, the Huainan Kingdom will be divided equally among the sons of the King of Huainan, perhaps in order to make the last wish of the King of Huainan be fulfilled, and he can smile at Jiuquan.
Only in this way can the grace of the court be demonstrated, impartiality and selfishness, so that the princes and kingdoms can be harmonious, and the clan can serve the court.
Text:
Tell the world.
The crown prince of Huainan inherited the title of the king of Huainan, Jiujiang County, and the three sons of the king of Huainan were the king of Hengshan, the king of Lujiang, and the king of Yuzhang.
The four sons are in their own country, each in their own position, the king of Hengshan, the king of Lujiang, the king of Yuzhang, the new lord of the country, this is the great grace of the court, we must be dedicated to the Son of Heaven to guard the land, for the world to govern the people.
Jiujiang Ancient County, the Han people are scarce, and there are many local people, so the kings must cultivate it deeply and work hard.
The crown prince of Huainan, His Majesty was very moved by the affection of the brothers and friends of the Huainan Kingdom, and gave him 100 pieces of cloth, 10,000 pieces of money, and three pieces of jade to show his merit.
Yes. ”
As soon as the edict came out, the whole world was shocked.
What the imperial court wanted to do was too obvious.
Over the years, the imperial court has always taken recuperation as the first priority, and no one really thought that Luo Xin would make such a big move.
But if you take a closer look at the current time, it is indeed the best time in recent years.
This is the second time that the Chang'an court has made a big move against the princes and kings after Liu Bang's collapse.
The first time was to collect taxes, and that time the court was strong and strong, and the founding heroes were basically there, and the princes and kings were still more loyal to the court, so things went relatively smoothly.
But what about this time?
The imperial court is naturally becoming more and more powerful, and the prime minister Luo Xin and the general Han Xin are still alive, although Yinghou, an old minister during the high emperor period, does not talk much in the political arena, but no one can ignore it.
Naturally, this edict spread in Chang'an City first, and then the messenger spread in all directions.
The people of the Huainan Kingdom Mission in Chang'an City had green faces, and they never expected that after entering Chang'an once, three-quarters of the territory of Huainan would be gone.
"The imperial court is trying to cut the feudal domain!"
The envoy of the Huainan Kingdom delegation said angrily: "The first king has just passed away, and the imperial court is so humiliated, it simply does not take my Huainan Kingdom in its eyes. ”
The princes of the public are built with little effort.
It's not that difficult to come up with this idea, after all, everyone understands the principle that strength is strong and force is weak.
The key to implementing this policy is twofold, the first is to have a strength that is enough to make the princes and kings fearful.
This strength does not need to exceed the sum of all the princes and kings, as the first strongest force, as long as it can defeat the second and third at the same time, it is enough.
The second point is to find a reasonable reason to implement it.
This reason is not the kind of hard talk that will only lead to war in the end, but a reason that is in line with the current values of the world, can put the imperial court at the highest moral level, and can win a lot of support for the imperial court.
After all, the purpose of cutting the feudal domain is to unify forces, not to fight internal friction.
"Internal envoy, but if you want to return to the country, the embassy of the imperial court is already on the way, I really don't know how the queen mother and the king will respond."
Zheng's face was gloomy, he was the uncle of the crown prince of Huainan, and now that he suddenly heard the news, how could he not be frightened and angry?
But he still forcibly held back his anger, and wanted to leave Chang'an quickly, if the kingdom was unwilling to accept the edict, then there must be a war between Huainan and the imperial court, staying in Chang'an City was looking for death, if the kingdom accepted the edict, then it was worthless for him to stay in Chang'an, "Back to Huainan, the imperial edict is not something we can question, and obeying the order of the Queen Mother is the only thing we can do." ”
The Huainan delegation left Chang'an City in a hurry, and it was very quiet when it left compared to the hustle and bustle when it came.
Compared with the cold and bone-chilling mood of the Huainan Mission, the Che Marquis of Chang'an City began to become restless.
At the beginning, Liuhou was driven out of Chang'an City, and although there was no major event in the other families, they still felt the suspicions of the royal family about the meritorious group.
This is very fatal, they are all close ministers of the emperor, and the power of the family depends on the close relationship with the emperor, and if they lose these, they will lose almost everything.
Now the imperial court has sent a loud signal.
These people naturally wanted to move forward bravely, and they didn't dare to go to the East Ahou Mansion, but the Yinghou Mansion was directly broken by the descendants of these founding heroes.
"Yinghou, I am loyal to Your Majesty, if there is a war, although the minister is old, he can still fight in armor."
“……”
"Yinghou, if there is an edict from the prime minister, I will never give up to repay Your Majesty."
There were even people who found the palace directly through Zhang Yan's relationship, and Zhang Yan smiled helplessly at Luo Xin: "Prime Minister, are you going to use a sword against the princes' kingdoms?" Over the years, too many lords have come to ask you what you mean.
How can you know if you are in charge of the important affairs of the military and the state?
It's really annoying. ”
Luo Xin had long expected that this would be the end, this was his deliberate indulgence, and those envoys of the princes and kingdoms who stayed in Chang'an City were probably already very nervous now.
I saw him smile slightly and said: "Don't worry about the queen mother, soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, you must not ignore it."
The minister will never use the sword in vain, especially with the clan relatives who are the pillars of the country.
Unless there are some rebellious people who vainly attempt to challenge the laws of the imperial court and provoke the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor, in that case, no matter how kind the ministers are, they can only clean up the world with the wrath of thunder. ”
Luo Xin's attitude quickly spread from Zhang Yan to the ears of the lords, and then the envoys of the princes and kings all knew about it, this was Luo Xin's first clear statement, and the meaning of these words was quite obvious.
That is to cut the feudal domain peacefully, just like the Qi State in the past, and the current Huainan State, which divides the large vassal states across counties into small vassal states.
The envoy of the imperial court arrived in Huainan and announced this important event, and the king of Huainan was naturally pale, after all, three-quarters of the land was directly swept away.
But where is it so simple to divide the land, what Luo Xin wants is not to simply divide some kingdoms, he wants to really make the various kingdoms no longer gather together, so as to achieve the idea of reducing step by step.
Now it is the kingdom that is cut, and then it is the county country, and then it is the county country, until the country is removed.
In order to achieve this goal, Luo Xin gave them resources in the process of Liu Shen and the three of them going to the country.
Especially Liu Shen, the new king of Hengshan, Luo Xin has high hopes for him, whether he can completely dismantle Huainan Kingdom, he is one of the most important chess pieces.
Liu Shen himself also knew very well that before leaving Chang'an, he also went to Changle Palace to meet Luo Xin, saying, "I will live up to the will of the prime minister, the four kingdoms of Huainan will never betray the imperial court." ”
There are so many princes and kings in the Han Dynasty, and their personalities are naturally different, and some of the princes and kings are more arrogant, claiming to be the brother and nephew of Emperor Gao, and the uncle of the current emperor, with a noble status.
These people were originally dissatisfied with Luo Xin's regent, and they were even more resentful of Luo Xin's intention to cut the domain, and some even openly denounced Luo Xin in the country.
