"I wrote down the history of the assassination, and then I will discuss with you, and if there is a clan Kundi who is willing to do the history of the assassination, they will all be sent out.

Taking advantage of this plan, supervised by Xiao He, let the envoys work together to draw up a charter for the history of the assassination, and go back and promulgate it, and in the future, they will act according to the rules and regulations, and inspect the counties one by one. ”

This is Liu Ji's strategy to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and the above plan is already from all counties across the country, so he naturally knows where the local government affairs are hidden in the dirt and dirt on weekdays, forcing them to write a patrol strategy, with the spear of the son, the shield of the attacker, invincible.

"It's hard for others to say, Fei'er must be the first willing to go,"

Lu Pheasant smiled,

"After more than half a year of training in the northwest, I can see that he is a great use.

In addition, he has a noble status and is the eldest prince, so His Majesty might as well send him the hardest bones to gnaw. ”

Liu Ji stroked his beard, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the panlong seat on the left side of the couch with a loose lacquer painted screen.

Only a few ministers who often went in and out of the forbidden place knew that the screen rushed to the side of the couch, and a huge silk map hung day and night, on which the borders of several major vassal states were outlined with red brush.

Under the light of the candle flame, the thin dark red zigzag lines reflected a dim light, like the blood marks carved by a sharp blade on the tip of the heart of the empire, making the people on the couch restless, like a man's back.

***

The emperor's desire to cut the feudal domain has long been known to passers-by, Lu Pheasant secretly complained, so obvious, is he really not afraid of forcing the king with a different surname who didn't want to rebel?

"Where will he start first?"

Liu Ji looked at the map and said to himself, "Let's start from the ground." ”

Qi land, which stands in the kingdoms of different surnames in the east, is too important, like a mainstay, it seems to be surrounded by vassal states, and at critical moments, it can attack from all sides.

"If Your Majesty is not worried about the young fat child, you can send someone to help him." Seeing him hesitate, Lu Pheasant reminded.

"Hmm, then send Cao Shen, what do you think?"

Regarding the candidate for Sasuke, Liu Ji had already made up his mind, that is, Cao Shen, the deputy general who had helped Han Xin manage Qi for many years.

In the emperor's original plan, if Liu Fei did not resign from the title of King of Qi tonight, then Cao Shen would take office and become the prime minister of Qi.

After all, Liu Fei was young and lacked governance experience, so he sent Cao Shen to serve as the prime minister of Qi, in fact, he entrusted the more than 70 rich cities of Qi to the calm and introverted Cao Shen.

This move is not only a trust in Cao Shen, but also an investigation of him.

Cao Shen is an irreplaceable minister in the veteran team of Peixian meritorious heroes, he was born and died, wearing seventy wounds, conquering the city, which can be described as a great achievement.

What's even more valuable is that he secretly joined Han Xin's command early under Liu Ji's instructions, and won his trust, and when Han Xin, the king of Qi, went out to conquer the kingdom of Qi for him.

After the battle of Qixia, Liu Ji seized Han Xin's military power with lightning speed and renamed him the king of Chu, and the success of this risky move was also thanks to Cao Shen's steady residence in Linzi and his ability to hold the power of Qi, so that the rear of the Han army camp did not catch fire.

Despite his outstanding achievements, Lu Pheasant knew that Liu Ji's trust in Cao Shen far exceeded Xiao He's, not because Cao Shen showed more loyalty than Xiao He, but under Liu Ji's consideration, Cao Shen did not have the talent to win the world, only the ability to rule the world.

***

In history, after Xiao He's death, Cao Shen justifiably became the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he completely inherited Xiao He's policy of governing the country, quiet and inactive, and nothing changed, so that the folk passed down the idiom "Xiao Gui Cao Sui", which is used to describe everything unchanged.

It can be seen that Cao Shen's talent is actually not under Xiao He, Lu Pheasant sighed.

Liu Ji's suspicion has always had nothing to do with the morality of the suspected, but it has to do with their talents.

Xiao He unreservedly showed his amazing genius in the eight years of war, so that after entering the Han Dynasty, he was like walking on thin ice, and was prevented by the emperor from time to time.

And Cao Shen, from beginning to end, built himself into a gentle and simple person who could be easily controlled by the emperor, and later not only became a minister of peace and stability, but also got a good death.

Lu Pheasant smiled and said,

"Cao Shen is good, Qi is a good Confucian, and there are the intricate forces of the Tian clan, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can wait for to rule.

Cao Shen had experience in governing Qi land before, and this time he went with him, so that he could point out the direction to the local officials, and Fei'er could also be like a tiger. ”

In addition, let him stay away from Luoyang and avoid Xiao He's edge, which is two tranquilitys.

The two of them are both famous ministers of the world, one sits in the center, one accompanies the assassin Shi to tour the county, the other is the prime minister of the dynasty, and the other is the prime minister of the reserve.

And she said tentatively,

"Although the assassin is not in charge of the troops, after all, he is here on behalf of the emperor when he goes on patrol, so it is better to send them the tiger talisman in case of emergency."

The investigation is deep and urgent, whether the local officials will take risks or not, and what inconveniences they will encounter, the emperor knows it, and there is no need for her to say it clearly.

"Well, with Cao Shen going with him, nothing big will happen.

As for the military power, give it when you go out on patrol, take it back after the patrol, fly a kite, isn't it just a matter of collecting and releasing it? ”

Liu Ji's eyes were glued to the map, and as if he remembered something, he glanced at Lu Pheasant,

"After all, the situation in Yan Kingdom is different from other places, and there is still a need for a Yan King, and Lu Juan has to go.

In front of his house, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't do much. ”

***

The meaning of the warning is beyond words.

"Got it." She lowered her head slightly, making a look of embarrassment, not in a hurry, anyway, the future will be long.

As if sensing that he was talking too seriously, Liu Jifu smiled again,

"I forgot to ask, why did you come tonight?"

Lu Pheasant also smiled,

"As soon as you said it, I almost forgot, in fact, I came here for two things.

First, I wanted to resign for my brothers, and then I came to ask for an errand for myself and Ying'er. ”

"Oh?" Liu Ji sat up straighter and examined her meaningfully,

"Everyone else is asking for rewards and official works for your mother and brother, how can you do the opposite?"

Lu Pheasant only asked rhetorically, "Your Majesty will tell me first, how do you plan to reward our two brothers of the Lu family?" ”

Liu Ji paused and said,

"During the army's personal expedition to Zang Di, your eldest brother Lu Ze served as the general of Miyagi Guard, and he was conscientious, and he trained Lang officials to help Ying'er supervise the country, which was a great meritorious.

Take advantage of this big division to seal him as a marquis, and even I have prepared a name, so I will call him Zhou Luhou. ”

Zhou, solid, dense, thick, more than enough.

Zhou Lu Zhou Lu, the name of the whole Lu family, the relatives of the Lu family, is the deep meaning.

It can be seen that this is a sincere title, Lu Pheasant was relieved, and asked again: "What about the second brother of Shizhi?" ”

***

Liu Ji stroked the brocade quilt and said slowly,

"He followed me in his early years, and his qualifications were not shallower than those of Xiao He and Fan Hao, and it was not easy for him to suffer so much in Chuying.

It's just that he is now a marquis, do you want to add some food to him? Or do you want to be an official? ”

"Your Majesty finally picked a Yongya to be the Marquis of Shifang, and only then did he settle the discussions in the court."

Lu Pheasant heard the hesitation and vigilance in Liu Ji's words, and replied quickly,

"The eldest brother is General Ren Wei, and he will have a position in the future, and he will be more able to serve the public, this is His Majesty's foresight, and I am inconvenient to resign on his behalf, so I can only thank him for his kindness.

As for the second brother, he entered Beijing with Zhang Ao's convoy the day before yesterday, and his body was still weak. If you are assigned to any official position, or if you eat too much, I am afraid that you will be even more blessed. ”

"What then, according to you?"

"Why don't you let him be free, any assassin who is not a thorn history, walk around in his spare time, and be the eyes and ears of His Majesty."

These words are in Liu Ji's arms, the queen is young, and the two brothers in the mother's family are in the prime of life, which is definitely not a good thing. In particular, it's not that I don't have the intention of scrapping the old and creating a new.

He thought so, but his face was invisible, and he only considered it and said slowly,

"In this way, I am afraid that I will be wronged, and I will also be wronged by your Lu family."

"What's wrong with this? I am the queen, and it is within my duty to share your majesty's worries.

If Your Majesty really doesn't want to go, then let me and Ying'er go on an errand. ”

Lu Pheasant stared at Liu Ji with a smile, his eyes shining.

Liu Ji was relieved: "Then tell me, what kind of errand do you want for your mother and son?" ”

"Let Ying'er take the Lang officials to the northwest to practice and train soldiers, okay?

As for me," she smiled confidently,

"I'm going to go to Changsha and talk to Zhao Tuo of South Vietnam."
