Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 322

"Reporting the edict of Emperor Renzong Xiaohui, to act on behalf of the emperor, and the regent prime minister:

The death of King Huainan was a great misfortune for the family, and the emperor regretted it very much.

I summoned all the sons of Huainan King, all of whom have the ability to govern the country and stabilize the country, but they live in Shandong and cannot be used by the 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 settle down.

The imperial court is worried, and the king of Huainan is also worried.

I think that the common people have surplus money, even though they are divided into different groups, they still have their own income. I also think that although the prince inherits the throne, all the princes can be crowned king.

From this point of view, regardless of high or low, high or low, rich or poor, parents' beloved son, this is true.

For a senior patriarch like King Huainan, let him die with regrets, which is not what filial sons should do.

It was a mistake for the court to know about this incident but not to make amends.

I can't help but ask, as the most honorable princes and kings of the Han Dynasty, is it right that the superiors do not walk with the royal family, and the subordinates are not as benevolent and filial as the common people?
The elder brother is a great king, he is well-clothed and well-fed, and he travels in and out, but the brothers are humble and shabby. Isn't it a joke that brothers and sisters are respectful?

In this world, virtue comes first and talent comes later. The family is the pillar of the country. If the virtues are unbearable, isn't it a disaster for the country?

I am really worried about receiving the imperial edict of Emperor Xiaohui to take pictures of the affairs of the world.

I thought about it deeply, in the past, King Lucheng of Qi surrendered himself as a public, and Emperor Gao granted the thirteen Marquis of the Lu family with the prefectures and counties of Qidi.

This is a model that the clan should learn from.

In the name of the imperial court, if Huainan Kingdom is divided equally among Huainan King's sons, perhaps Huainan King's last wish will be fulfilled, and he will be able to smile at Jiuquan.

Only in this way can the court's grace be demonstrated, impartiality and impartiality can make the princes and kingdoms harmonious, and the clan's nobles can serve the court.

Author:
Tell the world.

The crown prince of Huainan Wang inherited the title of Huainan King, the country of Jiujiang County, and the three sons of Huainan Wang are Hengshan King, Lujiang King, and Yuzhang King.

The four sons each occupy their own country and secure their own positions. The King of Hengshan, the King of Lujiang, and the King of Yuzhang are the new rulers of the country.

In the old county of Jiujiang, there are few Han people and a large number of local people. The kings must cultivate it deeply and work hard.

Prince Huainan, His Majesty was very moved by the brotherhood of the Huainan Kingdom, and bestowed a hundred pieces of cloth, ten thousand coins, and three pieces of jade to honor your achievements.

know. "

As soon as the edict came out, the whole world was shocked.

It is too obvious what the court wants to do.

In recent years, the imperial court has always put recuperation as the top 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 node, it is indeed the best time in recent years.

This is the second time the Chang'an court has made major moves against princes and kings after Liu Bang's collapse.

The first time was to collect taxes. That time the imperial court was strong and strong, and the founding heroes were basically there. The princes and kings were relatively loyal to the imperial court, so things went relatively smoothly.

But what about this time?

The imperial court is naturally becoming more and more powerful, and both Prime Minister Luo Xin and General Han Xin are still alive. Although Ying Hou, a veteran of the Gao Emperor period, did not speak much in the political arena, no one can ignore it.

Naturally, this edict was first spread in Chang'an City, and then spread to the four directions by messengers.

The faces of the members of the Huainan Kingdom Mission in Chang'an City were turning green. They never expected that three-quarters of Huainan Kingdom's territory would be lost after entering Chang'an just once.

"The imperial court wants to cut down the feudal clan!"

The envoy of the Huainan Kingdom envoy said angrily: "The late king has just passed away, and the imperial court has humiliated me like this. It simply doesn't take Huainan Kingdom seriously."

All build princes with less power.

It's not that difficult to come up with this idea, after all, everyone knows the principle that when combined, we are strong, and when divided, we are weak.

There are two key points to implement this policy. The first point is to have a strength that is enough to make the princes and kings afraid.

This strength does not need to exceed the sum of all the princes and kings. As the strongest force, it is enough to be able to defeat the second and third at the same time.

The second point is to find a reasonable reason to implement it.

This reason is not the kind of reason that will only lead to war in the end, but a reason that conforms to the current values ​​of the world, can put the court at the highest point of morality, and can win a lot of support for the court.

After all, the purpose of cutting the vassal is to unify forces, not to fight internal friction.

"Internal envoy, you have to go back to the country. The court's mission is already on the way. I really don't know how the queen mother and the king will respond."

Just making his face gloomy, he is the uncle of the Prince Huainan, how can he not be frightened and angry when he suddenly heard the news?

But he still forcibly held back his anger, and wanted to leave Chang'an as soon as possible. If the kingdom is unwilling to accept the edict, there must be a war between the Huainan Kingdom and the court. Staying in Chang'an is courting death. If the kingdom accepts the edict, then he There is no value in staying in Chang'an. "When we return to Huainan, we cannot question the imperial edict. Obedience to the Queen Mother's order is the only thing we can do."

The Huainan Mission left Chang'an City in a hurry. Compared with the hustle and bustle when they arrived, it was very quiet when they left.

Compared with the icy cold mood of the Huainan State Mission, the Chehous of Chang'an City began to become agitated.

When Marquis Liu was kicked out of Chang'an City, although the other families were fine, they still felt the royal family's doubts about the group of heroes.

This is very deadly. They are all the close ministers of the emperor. The power of the family depends on the close relationship with the emperor. If they lose these, they will lose almost everything.

Now the court has sent a resounding signal.

Naturally, these people wanted to move forward bravely. They dared not go to Dong'ahou's Mansion, but Yinghou's Mansion was directly smashed by the descendants of these founding heroes.

"Yinghou, I am loyal to His Majesty. If there is a war, even though I am old, I can still fight in armor."

"..."

"Marquis Ying, if there is an edict from the Prime Minister, I will die to repay Your Majesty."

Some people even found the palace directly through Zhang Yan's relationship. Zhang Yan smiled helplessly at Luo Xin: "Prime Minister, are you going to attack the princes and kingdoms? There have been too many honorable officials who have come to find Yu in these days. Ask what you mean.

How can I know if I am not in charge of important military and state affairs?
It's really annoying. "

Luo Xin had expected this ending a long time ago. This was his intentional indulgence. The envoys of the princes and kingdoms who stayed in Chang'an City are probably very nervous now.

He smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry about the queen mother, soldiers, important affairs of the country, and places of death and life must be investigated.

The minister will never use weapons rashly, especially with the clan who are the pillars of the country.

Unless there are some rebellious people who try to challenge the court's laws and provoke His Majesty's majesty, in that case, no matter how kind the minister is, he can only clean up the world with thunderous anger. "

Luo Xin's attitude quickly spread from Zhang Yan to Xun Chen's ears, and then the envoys of the princes and kings knew about it. This was the first time Luo Xin made a clear statement, and the meaning of these words was quite obvious.

That is the peaceful reduction of vassals, just like the Qi State in the past and the Huainan State now, dividing the large vassal state across counties and counties into small vassal states.

The envoys of the imperial court arrived at the Huainan Kingdom and announced this important event. The Huainan King was naturally pale. After all, three quarters of the land had been taken away.

But dividing the land is not so simple. What Luo Xin wants is not to simply divide some kingdoms. He wants to truly make the kingdoms no longer aggregated, so as to achieve the idea of ​​​​step by step reduction.

What is being cut now is the kingdom, and what will be cut down in the future will be the county state, and then the county state, until the country is eliminated.

In order to achieve this goal, Luo Xin gave them resources during the process of the three of Liu and Chen being in the country.

Especially Liu Chen, 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 Chen himself knew very well that before leaving Chang'an, he went to Changle Palace to meet Luo Xin, saying, "We will live up to the Prime Minister's wishes, and the Huainan Four Kingdoms will never betray the imperial court."

There are so many princes and kings in the Han Dynasty, and their personalities are naturally different. Some 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 even more resentful of Luo Xin's intention to cut down the vassal. Some even publicly denounced Luo Xin in the country.
