Originally, it was a family banquet to send off Liu Yu, the king of Jiaoxi, to leave Beijing to take up the domain, but in the conversation of Tianzi Qi, Prince Sheng, and Liu Yu's father and son, it was quietly coming to an end.

In addition to the father and son, as well as the Empress Dowager Dou, who left the table early, the rest of Empress Jia, Mrs. Bo, and Mrs. Wang did not say a word from beginning to end.

- In today's Han Dynasty, there is indeed no saying that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics;

However, the Han family's 'harem can interfere in politics' is limited to the empress dowager of the East Palace as the 'imperial mother'.

As for the three women attending today's meeting, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Bo needless to say, if it weren't for Empress Dowager Dou and Tianziqi taking the initiative to ask, they would not have the qualifications to take the initiative to speak.

is Queen Jia, with the name of a 'mother in the world', and basically she can not speak without speaking, and if she can not speak, she will not speak.

went to the sky, that is, as the mother of the princes, Liu Yu, the king of Jiaoxi, who was about to leave Beijing to become a vassal domain, encouraged and instructed two sentences: be well-behaved, sensible, take care of yourself, and so on.

At the end of the family banquet, Tianzi Qi rarely brought someone other than Liu Sheng, Liu Yu, the six-year-old king of Jiaoxi, back to Weiyang Palace together.

As for Liu Sheng, although Tianziqi did not make a special explanation, before this family banquet, Tianziqi had already explained to the eunuch Ling Chuntuo: vacate a side hall in the side hall of Weiyang Palace, so that Liu Sheng can live here in the future;

So, Tianzi Qi was half relieved and half reluctant to pull his youngest son Liu Yu to return to Weiyang Palace in the unique Yellow House Zuoxu in the world.

chatted with Liu Yu until late at night, and then reluctantly confessed to the palace people, and placed Liu Yu in the side hall of the Xuanshu Hall for one night, and the Son of Heaven Qicai finally took a long breath and waved to Liu Sheng, who had been watching with a smile on the side of the palace.

"What does the prince think?"

"I went to Kanto and became the king of Jiaoxi, this son, will it be another big disaster for my Han family?"

In an inexplicable and insipid tone, as if he would be so easy-going every day, Tianziqi's palm naturally lifted his forehead.

Hearing this, Liu Sheng naturally stepped forward as he had every time he entered the palace in the past, pulled up a thin blanket and put it on the Son of Heaven;

While busy with his hands, he didn't forget to give an answer while he said.

"Since the time when the royal family surnamed Ji was sealed all over the world, and each led the territory of Shenzhou, the pros and cons of the feudal system have been unreservedly revealed in front of the eyes of the world."

"——Its benefit, for the royal family to obtain the territory of the town on one side, the town of the land, the people of the party, does not need too much investment from the central court."

"Take Zong Zhou as an example: in some cases, even if Zhou Tianzi only needs to issue an edict stamped with the royal seal, he can seal a piece of land that has been turned out and unserved to a certain royal family surnamed Ji surnamed Zong Zhou."

"After that, whether this royal family raises troops to conscript, sets up counties to govern, or ignores them, they no longer need Ji Zhou Chaotang to worry about it."

"A hundred and ten years later, the land that was once outside the territory of Zongzhou can be turned into a part of the homeland of Shenzhou."

"Relying on this kind of 'sub-feudal' that only needs to be canonized, but does not need to transfer troops, send officials, and allocate materials, Zong Zhou has expanded from a corner of the country at the beginning to a vast territory of tens of thousands of miles in the east and west, north and south, in the last years of the Warring States period."

"And the disadvantages of the system of dividing the Zhou Dynasty into feudal feudal systems, from the end of the Warring States Period, the world is divided into seven parts, the heroes are in their own affairs, and the Zhou Tianzi is regarded as nothing, and finally the Qin destroys Zhou Sheji, which can be seen ······"

It seems that the answer is not the question, but in fact, it is not until the point of pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of the 'sub-sealing system' since the day of its birth, and Liu Sheng also knelt down on the side of the royal couch.

After the Son of Heaven lowered the palm of the hand held in front of his forehead, and looked at him slightly sideways, Liu Shengcai swallowed lightly and continued to speak.

"It is precisely because he knows the disadvantages of the feudal system that after Qin Wangzheng swept the six countries and unified the world, he abolished the feudal system in one fell swoop and changed to the county system to implement the whole world."

"But this move has disappointed the meritorious people who helped Qin dominate the world, mainly the people of the three Qins, especially the Yingqin royal family."

"In addition, the nobles of the old countries, such as Lu Gong Xiang Yu, Han Wangxin, etc., will not die, and Qin II will die, which is predictable······"

···

"The Qin Dynasty abolished the sub-feudal system and changed to the county system in the whole world, which eventually led to the death of Qin II, which proves that although the sub-feudal system is no longer applicable to the world, it still has great inertia."

"And Xiang Yu sealed the world as the princes of the Eighteen Roads after the Hongmen banquet, but finally ended up with a Wujiang self-slaughter, which proves that the sub-feudal system is completely retained, and it is no longer applicable to the world."

"Therefore, Emperor Taizu Gao took a rather delicate balance between the two, using the county system and the sub-feudal system in parallel."

"Later, I felt that the princes with different surnames did more harm than good in settling down in the world, so I spent my whole life to get rid of the princes with different surnames and replace them with the princes of the clan."

"At this point, there is actually no difference between the feudal system of my Han family and the royal family surnamed Ji from Zong Zhouquan."

"——When the Son of Heaven has something, the princes of the clan rose up and helped together, just like when Zong Zhou did, and after the death of the Empress Dowager Lu, the princes and ministers should join forces and punish Zhu Lu."

"Since the princes of my Han family are no different from the former Zongzhou Zhuji, then the advantages and disadvantages of my Han family's clan princes to the world are no different from the former Zongzhou Zhuji······"

The words with the usual face only provoked the corner of Tianziqi's eyebrows with a strange smile, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

"Hey!"

"I just asked, 'How is Ah Yi', the prince's words gave me a big surprise?"

"Ann?"

···

"According to the prince's statement, if I don't cut the domain, my Han family will be the next Zongzhou?"

"One hundred and ten years later, the son of heaven of my Han family will be the son of Zhou Tianzi of that year?"

"The clan princes of Kanto, Bento are the former Warring States Heroes?"

"And my Han family's temple and Sheji should be in the troubled times like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?"

Hearing the banter in the words of the Son of Heaven, Liu Sheng only lowered his head and smiled;

After Tianzi Qi shook his head with a smile and turned around, Liu Sheng put a smile on his face, and his expression was slightly calm.

"At first glance, maybe my father also thinks it's ridiculous."

"But if you think about it carefully, your father will be able to understand."

"——Back then, the king of Zhou moved west, and Zhou Tianzi lost his majesty from then on;"

"And my Han family, since the first emperor branched into the succession to the unification, has actually shown signs of 'the majesty of the Son of Heaven is no longer there'."

"There is no need to say anything about it: it is said that Liu Bi, the king of Wu, has never been to Chang'an since the fourth year of the first emperor."

"How about such a thing, in the time of Emperor Taizu Gao?"

"How about being placed in the time of Emperor Xiaohui?"

"It is the Empress Dowager Lu who reigned before and after the young emperors, and the princes and kings did not go to Chang'an for more than three years, which is a shocking thing."

"But in the first emperor's dynasty, such a thing not only became a reality, but even became a thing that everyone in the world thought 'it should be like this' and 'it's not a big deal'."

···

"Father thought again: If the Wuchu Rebellion broke out, the central court did not have enough strength to send troops and go to Suiyang to suppress the rebellion, what would it be?"

"If there was no army sent by the Chang'an court to participate in the entire Wu Chu Rebellion, wouldn't the Wu Chu Rebellion, which took place in the Kanto region from beginning to end, be just like the melee of the princes during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?"

"--Wu Chu who provoked the war, isn't it Xiong Chu back then?"

"The kings of the Qi family who followed Wu Chu to make trouble, aren't they Tian Qi back then?"

"If the army of the court failed to go east out of Hangu, then the dilemma Suiyang, with its own strength against the entire Liang State in the Kwantung region, is not the Ying Qin who was discussed by the whole world back then?"

···

"Think about it further: the whole Wu Chu Rebellion ended, and the thieves Liu Bi and Liu Wu failed to capture Suiyang, nor did they die in defeat;"

"The king of Wu is still the king of Wu, the king of Chu is still the king of Chu, the king of Liang is still the king of Liang, and the kings of the Qi family are still the kings of the Qi line."

"What about Father?"

"Isn't it the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when there is a war, a 'Decree to Stop War' will be issued, but Zhou Tianzi is powerless to control the world?"

"Won't the Guanzhong of my Han family become the Feng and Pickaxe of the past, although they are invincible, they can't meddle in the affairs of the world at all?"

When he started talking, Liu Sheng was no longer vague, his words were not shocking, and it was a burst of output like a machine gun, which made Tianziqi completely fall into a long thought.

And after this series of appalling descriptions, Liu Sheng did not forget to quietly change the conversation and return to today's topic.

"The princes of the clan are still indispensable to the Han family today."

"Not only because the Xiongnu in the north and Zhao Tuo in the south need the middle-aged clan relatives to personally guard the border wall, but also because my Han family now does not have the strength to do all the counties in the whole world."

"But it is the general trend to go to the county."

"As my Han family becomes more and more prosperous and powerful, it is an unstoppable trend to return the local governance power to the central court."

"This is what the late teacher called it: centralization."

"It's just that before this, the strength accumulated by my Han family can only be focused on the decisive battle against the Huns."

"And after the decisive battle against the Xiongnu, the Han family, which has completely swept away the troubles, will inevitably usher in the opportunity to centralize power."

"Until then, dismembering and splitting the forces of the clan princes with Tuien is the first policy······"

···

···

······

After Liu Sheng's rather demagogic 'speech', the slightly empty Xuanshu Hall fell into a silence for thirty breaths.

After adjusting his slightly rapid snort, Liu Sheng also clearly saw Tianzi Qi, who was sitting on the imperial couch not far in front of him, and his snort involuntarily became heavy.

- Centralization.

Whether it is thousands of years from now, or a hundred years ago;

But any monarch who aspires to the world will never say 'no' to these four words, nor will he have the slightest idea of resistance in front of these four words.

It's like people in later generations who can't keep calm in front of the words 'family tree homepage' and 'Qingming head incense'.

And Liu Sheng, in the name of the 'late old prime minister', on the basis of centralized power, pointed out the stage of the Han family without deviation, which undoubtedly made Tianziqi's expectations for Liu Sheng a step higher than the naked eye.

It's just that at this moment, the mind of the Son of Heaven is still silent in the four words that are like magic, and it is difficult to extricate himself for a long time······

"Centralized ······"

"Centralized ······"

···

He muttered twice thoughtfully, and stared into the distance outside the temple gate with nostalgia, and after a long time, the Son of Heaven Qicai struggled to recover his mind from that beautiful scene that made the soul tremble.

As soon as he subconsciously opened his mouth, he realized the abnormality of his voice, and coughed lightly twice to clear the thick phlegm blocking his throat;

Licking his lower lip with a little difficulty, he felt that his state was a little more normal, and the Son of Heaven Qicai said to him like a left: "King Zhao's matter, what does the prince mean?" ”

"—Please be gracious to my father, and forgive my brother a little."

"Oh?"

···

"Just 'give grace' and 'forgive' a little, instead of sending an envoy to rebuke, and skip it?"

"Isn't the crown prince going to beg me for King Zhao, and beg me not to call King Zhao back to Chang'an to ask for guilt?"

"——Brother Wang has had, if he is not punished, the law of the country will not tolerate it."

"——However, Brother Wang and Erchen are the same mother, if Erchen does not intercede on behalf of his brother, it is inconsistent with human feelings and common sense."

"Oh······"

"So what the prince means is that he should be punished, and he should still be punished;"

"It's just for the sake of the prince's face, I want to punish King Zhao lightly?"

"—Shengming has no father than the emperor."

"—and the king's brother's crimes, whether punished or not, lightly punished or severely punished, are beyond the control of the sons."

"——Even though the father and the emperor still punished the prince severely, the son only shook his head and died a hundred worships······"

A brief dialogue finally ended with Liu Sheng's sentence of 'pause and pause, and a hundred worships of death';

But Tianzi Qi, who got up leisurely from the couch, still didn't forget to give Liu Sheng a playful smile at the end.

"Hey!"

"That's nice."

"'Suddenly' and 'Dead for a hundred years'?"

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be another incident of 'the prince breaking into the lieutenant's mansion at night', and my face will be swept clean again!"

"Humph!"

"First ······"

Hearing the resentment in Tianziqi's tone, Liu Sheng finally took away his solemn look and grinned a little naughtily.

"Knowing the son is more than the father."

"Erchen's temperament can really be said to have been thoroughly touched by his father······"

"-Humph!"

"—Virtue!"

was angry by Liu Sheng's tricky appearance, and Tianzi Qi only felt a burst of boredom in his heart;

It's just that in my mind, some worries that originally came from nowhere dissipated inexplicably in an unknown corner because of Liu Sheng's gag······

"King Zhao's matter, I promised the queen mother not to interfere, and I will never interfere."

"Prince, it's best not to interfere."

"King Zhao has indeed gone too far in recent years;"

"If you don't suffer from the Queen Mother, Zhao Guo won't have a peaceful life."

···

"Oh, yes;"

"How's Gillian?"

"And last year, didn't the prince plan to contact King Donghu to see if he could find a batch of useful horses for my Han family?"

"After such a long time, the prince has not heard any movement here?"
