This year's September Qianqiu Festival is extraordinary, but the scale is still not as good as the Queen Mother's birthday banquet many years ago.

After all, it's only a forty birthday, and if it is a big deal, Liu Zhi himself feels a little excessive.

Therefore, it was ordered not to be too extravagant, and although the whole country celebrated for three days, it was inferior in terms of specifications.

Before the birthday banquet, Liu Zhi summoned the kings of all walks of life, and there were not many princes and kings of the Han Dynasty at this time.

During the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, in the name of the common world, the princes and kings were wantonly divided, and the princes at this time not only had administrative power, but also had military power, which was equivalent to a miniature kingdom.

Later, after the suppression of the three emperors of Wen, Jing and Wu, the military power of the princes and kings was also recovered, and it was no longer possible to pose a threat to the central imperial power.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were no longer princes and kings, even if they were the emperor's heirs and brothers, the highest rank was only the county king.

In this way, the Eastern Han Dynasty also pursued and beat the king of Fan, canceling the county king system under various pretexts, and there were not a few people who had no children to remove the country or made mistakes and degraded them.

Moreover, almost all the kings of Fan rarely have the opportunity to return to the capital to meet the emperor, even if the emperor is mourned or ascends the throne, he must be edicted to be eligible to meet him.

This is only the fortieth birthday, but it is very surprising to gather all the princes and clans of the world back to Beijing.

However, there has been nothing special happening in the Han Dynasty recently, and there have been no political changes, so everyone speculates that this is just the emperor's whim and wants to boast about his martial arts.

This summoning of the princes and princes of the clan was held in the Qianqiu Long Live Palace, which can be regarded as a family banquet.

After many years, Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, once again set foot on the land of Luoyang, and among all the kings of Fan, he is probably the one who has changed the most.

When Liu Zhi saw him, he almost didn't recognize him, is this still the proud little fat man?

is only in his thirties, but he is skinny, his face is wrinkled, and his hair is born early, just like an old man who has gone through vicissitudes.

Seeing Liu Zhi, he didn't even dare to raise his head, and he was submissive, and he was like two people with his oily appearance before.

It seems that he walked around from Nanyang, he was really afraid, the arrogance of the year had long been exhausted, and all that was left was to have a walking corpse and live a bad life.

To tell the truth, even after many years, Liu Zhi has never been able to forgive him for taking advantage of the Empress Dowager Yun, if it weren't for the Empress Dowager's deathbed plea, this guy would have died in that barren land in his life.

Now seeing him like this, he is finally relieved, he did promise his mother to restore his throne, but there are many ways to fight a person.

He and Liu Kui did not have any so-called brotherhood, and after another rebellion, it would be even more impossible.

Therefore, at the banquet, Liu Zhi didn't look at him squarely, so that those snobs who thought that Liu Kui was here to operate immediately regarded him as a joke.

Another person who makes people feel ambiguous is Liu Wei, the king of Qinghe, as the eldest son of His Majesty, who was driven out of the capital because he fought for the throne.

But the royal affairs, who can say clearly, even the prince who was demoted to a concubine in history has succeeded in counterattacking, not to mention that His Majesty's attitude towards him has always been relatively tolerant.

Liu Wei is silent, compared with the high spirits of the year, there is indeed a great change, Liu Zhi sighed in his heart.

This kid is not not smart, it is completely due to his character, but he is just a wrong step, if he can be a king in peace in this life, it will be a good destination.

I hope he can cherish it himself.

The princes and kings of the Han Dynasty have long been tempered for hundreds of years, and they are all respectful and low-key in front of the emperor.

Of course, Liu Zhi didn't call them here to really let them come for a birthday, and when the banquet came to an end, he slowly spoke.

"Since the founding of the country, my Han has given preferential treatment to the clan, and the descendants have been extended, and the branches and leaves have been scattered......"

After a pause as he spoke, he glanced around leisurely, making the hearts of everyone present tighten.

In good conscience, after Liu Zhi came to power, he was still good to the princes of the clan, and he did not deal with anyone indiscriminately except for Liu Garlic, the former king of Qinghe, and Liu Kui, the king of Bohai.

Moreover, at this time, the princes had certain administrative powers, and although there were county orders in various places, the princes still had the power to collect some taxes and assist in handling local government affairs.

In addition, the princes of the Han Dynasty are definitely not low, and they have the princely mansions built by the state, so it can be said that life is still very comfortable.

When Liu Zhigang crossed over, he found out that his identity was a small county marquis, and he was very happy, such a rich and leisurely life was exactly what he dreamed of at that time.

Over the years, the life of the Han has been getting better and better, from the previous natural disasters and man-made disasters, but now the singing and dancing are leveling.

The life of the princes has also become colorful and extravagant, and they are very satisfied with the present life, and naturally do not want anything to change.

This time, Liu Zhi suddenly summoned them to come, and many people immediately became sensitive, and used the DPRK-China relations to inquire in various ways.

It's a pity that no one can provide useful information this time, and the emperor really didn't show any signs of dealing with the clan before this, which is inexplicable.

Therefore, after entering Beijing, everyone tried to keep a low profile, for fear that the emperor would catch some trick and become the chicken in the chicken killing monkey.

Fortunately, Liu Zhi didn't let them wait long, and continued: "There are many descendants of Gaozu, it is inevitable that there will be a few unscrupulous descendants, and there have been many twists and turns in the Imperial History Academy in the past two years......"

Speaking of this, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea elegantly, only to hear that all the clans present changed their faces, sure enough, is Your Majesty ready to cut it?

I don't know who will be unlucky this time, maybe His Majesty is targeting all the clans?

In particular, some extravagant princes have some bottom in their hearts, and these things are not relevant when Your Majesty was tolerant of them in the past.

But once His Majesty takes it seriously, any one of them will be enough for them to drink a pot.

"However, for the sake of the descendants of the same ancestors, I have been suppressing it, but it's a pity that some people don't appreciate it, and they don't know the convergence point, which really disappoints me."

The clans who looked at each other were already sure at this time that His Majesty was indeed going to make a move on them.

Liu Kui's face was even more discouraged, he thought that he had been careful all these years, did the emperor still not plan to let him go?

On the other hand, Liu Wei didn't care, if his father wanted to punish him, he would have done it four years ago, so why wait until now.

From this point of view, Liu Wei is indeed much smarter than Liu Kui, at least after jumping out of the battle for the heir, he can still see the situation clearly.

Liu Zhi sneered, what he wanted to do was naturally the feudal system of the Han Dynasty, a mere clan, and he didn't bother to deal with it......
