In order to grasp the attitude of the officials to the greatest extent, Liu Qi summoned all the ministers, liehous, and clans in Beijing to the court for discussion.

And Chao Cuo did not guess wrong, in the court meeting of the cutting domain, except for Zhan Shi Douying, almost no one dared to raise objections to him.

Zhan Shi Dou Ying is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dou, who admires Confucianism and is about the same age as Liu Qi, but his personality is very strong and upright. Anyone who is not used to seeing it, even in front of the Empress Dowager Dou, dares to be ruthless. Empress Dowager Dou doted on her youngest son Liu Wu, Liu Qi pleased her mother, and said at the banquet that she would pass on the throne to her younger brother after Qianqiu, Empress Dowager Dou was very happy, but Dou Ying ignored her aunt's feelings and criticized Liu Qi's inappropriate words in person.

It can be seen that Dou Ying's uprightness.

In the matter of cutting the feudal domain, Dou Ying openly opposed Chao Wrong on the grounds that he was too hasty.

Chao Cuo looked at this fledgling imperial relative, although he was very unhappy, but it was inconvenient to reprimand him in person, just sneered at him, in Chao Cuo's eyes, Dou Ying was still immature and ruthless! .

Chao Cuo's sneer silenced all those who dissented in the court, and when the words came to their mouths, they swallowed them back.

Liu Qi saw that the ministers did not have many objections, so he slapped the matter to the table, and immediately ordered that the imperial historian Chao Cuo should make every effort to supervise the reduction of the feudal domain.

The first to be unlucky was Liu Wu, the king of Chu, who was the grandson of King Yuan of Chu and the third king of Chu.

When the court was discussing the cutting of the domain, Liu Wu happened to come to Chang'an.

As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come at the right time. As soon as he saw Liu Wu, Chao Cuo started his idea, since he wanted to cut the domain, he had to start with a big country, and Chu was the first to bear the brunt.

Chao Cuo mobilized the officials of the Special Office of the Imperial History Mansion to check Liu Wu's old background.

Chao Cuo is convinced that this kind of prince is by no means a good bird, and when he investigates it, there are a lot of management and security problems. As long as they can pull their pigtails, cut their land, and take their power, they will have nothing to say.

Sure enough, the officials who were wrong soon found out that the king of Chu was still drinking and enjoying himself during the state funeral of the Empress Dowager Bo last year.

It's a capital offense! Chao Cuo handed over Liu Wu's charges to Liu Qi like a treasure.

Chao Cuo immediately wrote to Liu Qi, suggesting that he be sentenced to death directly and kill Liu Wu.

Liu Qi was very surprised to receive the song, and after thinking about it, after all, he was a cousin with a better relationship, so he decided to open the net, and did not pursue Liu Wu's death penalty, but cut the Donghai County of Chu State.

Such a result made Chao Cuo very dissatisfied, the territory of Chu is vast, and only one county is cut, which is almost equivalent to doing nothing.

However, Chao Cuo definitely doesn't know, even if he cuts the king of Chu and a county, Liu Wu is a hundred unhappy, he has regarded Chao Cuo as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and he will want to get rid of it quickly.

Liu Qi and Chao Cuo's first execution opinion clashed, and Liu Qi did not ask for Chao Cuo's opinion when he issued an edict to pardon the king of Chu. Chao Cuo's heart was not a taste, he didn't expect that the students who obeyed their words in the past would have their own decisions.

Whether this will be a blessing or a curse for him is really unpredictable.

The problem that Chao Cuo is worried about is actually unavoidable.

Liu Qi's character is sometimes impatient, this is his nature, he wants to decide independently, it is also his nature, and his nature can only be revealed in a natural and harmonious situation, but as the king of a country, he must suppress his own nature, he relies on Chao Wrong to make decisions, which is the inertia cultivated since childhood, but as he becomes the emperor for a long time, his attitude towards Chao Wrong has changed subtly.

No matter how many years Chao Cuo taught him, no matter how deep the friendship between master and apprentice is, Chao Cuo is always a part-time worker, and he is the real boss, no matter how toss and hard the part-time worker, the final decision-making power is in the hands of the boss.

There is no doubt that Liu Wu committed a capital crime, and with a stroke of his pen, Liu Qi could completely put him to death, or at least take off his crown.

However, Liu Qi did not make a ruthless move, nor did he discuss with the chief judge of the domain, Chao Cuo, so he issued an edict and decided to exempt the king of Chu from the death penalty, but only took away a wild and wild Donghai County.

If it is like this, it is meaningless, and the previous solemn decision to cut the feudal domain is just a laughing stock.

Liu Qi is also a smart person, he is not going to take national affairs as a child's play, and he is also very much looking forward to eliminating the hidden dangers of the vassal king.

Liu Qi's changes made Chao Cuo unable to see through for a while.

The bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused.

Chao couldn't see through it not because he wasn't smart enough, but because he became a stakeholder himself. Liu Qi's original intention was also to give the former teacher a headache.

After the King of Chu, the unlucky ones were followed by the King of Zhao and the King of Jiaoxi. The state of Zhao lost Changshan County, and the king of Jiaoxi was cut down by six counties.

Chao Cuo is already dissatisfied with the tepid cutting of the feudal domain. He proposed that measures should be taken against Wu as soon as possible, and that was the real threat.

Liu Qi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he waved his hand and said, "Let's discuss it in court!" ”

Isn't it a matter that has already been decided, and it will be discussed by the court? I already have a basket of the crimes of the old King Wu, and the court discussion is not superfluous.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask a rhetorical question, Liu Qi brushed his sleeves and left.

Chao Cuo suddenly realized that Liu Qi's city was unfathomable, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Since the cutting of the domain, Liu Qi has been restless. The obedience of the vassal kings not only did not reassure him, but rather upset him. Thrown out of the issue of cutting feudal domains, the ministers of the DPRK and China seemed to be breathing out of one nostril, and there were few voices of opposition.

This is by no means a good thing for Liu Qi.

The tentative work of cutting the feudal domain was launched, and the king of Chu, the king of Zhao, and the king of Jiaoxi were cut one after another, and the usually noisy vassal kings also chose to lose their voices collectively.

Liu Qi never believed that his uncles, nephews and cousins could have such a high consciousness. So, what exactly are they waiting for?

Liu Qi supported the reduction of the feudal domain, but in terms of time and the intensity of the attack, he always maintained a different opinion with Chao Cuo, but it was not convenient for Liu Qi to say it clearly, because there were more and more people in the court who followed Chao Cuo, and he had no better reliance and choice except for Chao Cuo.

Liu Qi actually wanted to tell Chao Cuo through the handling of the King of Chu, you can do it boldly, but to what extent, the final decision is not up to me.

At the same time, he wants the princes and kings of the world, those uncles, nephews, cousins and cousins to see that he Liu Qi is still humane, as long as you don't go too far, you won't knock you to the ground with a stick.

However, Liu Qi's good intentions have not been understood.

It turns out that hatred, once engraved, is hard to extinguish.

The spies of the state of Wu brought back to the state of Wu the news of the imperial court's attack on the state of Wu.

Liu Bi, the king of Wu, quickly summoned his subordinates and excitedly announced: "The imperial court is going to do something to us!" ”

King Wu's subordinates seem to have been prepared for the arrival of this day, and they are gearing up to do a big job.

Liu Bi saw that the crowd was excited, and he coincided with himself, and he had made up his mind to oppose it, he had planned for nearly 20 years for the arrival of this day, if Liu Heng hadn't treated him benevolently, he would have raised the banner a long time ago. The new emperor wants to fight his idea, dreaming.

Liu Bi always believed that he was destined to rebel.

Forty-one years ago, he had just been named the king of Wu, ruling over three counties and fifty-three cities, and Liu Bang once said that he had a backbone.

Liu Bi thinks that the anti-bone is the keel.

In addition to guarding Wu Yue and making contributions, the young and vigorous Liu Bi did not have too many extravagant expectations.

However, God always seemed to be giving him some kind of hint, when he was grateful to Liu Heng for his leniency, his beloved son was actually killed by Liu Qi, and now this murderer is sitting high on the dragon chair.

But he is still unyielding and wants to attack my Wu State.

Liu Bi has always believed in the creed of life: the first strike is strong, and then the first one suffers.

Liu Biao lamented his foresight, with the current wealth and talent of Wu State, it was not impossible to defeat the imperial court.

It's time to teach that kid a lesson! It's time to show my ambitions!

Under the mobilization of Liu Bi, Wu began to make final preparations for the rebellion. At the same time, he had to use his political talents to win more allies for himself.

Let's play, Liu Bi.
