Seeing that Emperor Liu was deep in thought, Liu Yun hesitated for a while, and then took the initiative to ask: "Dad, I have something to understand. Japan has always been very respectful and filial to the Han Dynasty. Since the opening of the sea, the exchanges between the officials and the people of the two countries have also been increasing."
Frequently, many Japanese people cross the sea to work as slaves! But my father seems to be wary of Japan and even prejudiced against it. Compared with North Korea, his attitude is clear."
"Are you trying to fight injustice for Japan?" Emperor Liu glanced at Liu Yun in surprise, and then pointed out: "I forgot that you have always had a good relationship with Japan. Every year when Japan comes as an envoy, he will bring you something
Such a generous gift, why are you so merciful?"
Liu Yun shook his head and said, "I'm just curious!"
"Korea is a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, does Japan count?" Emperor Liu asked again: "Both Korea and Japan sent Han envoys to the Han Dynasty. In your opinion, among the students who came to Beijing, who
Who is more humble and works harder?"
Liu Yun looked confused, and Emperor Liu sighed and said: "Wang Mang is so humble that he has not usurped the throne!"
"Is it possible that Dad is worried that Japan will be harmful to the Han people?" Hearing this, Liu Yun was slightly startled and said in confusion. After speaking, he probably thought this speculation was ridiculous, and then said: "How is it possible? Even if there is, it should be North Korea.
That's right, after all, the two countries are bordering each other, but Japan is far away from each other by the sea."
Seeing Liu Yun asking and answering questions there, Emperor Liu's eyes were a little confused, even a little confused, and he said leisurely: "Some memories are too profound, and some consciousness has already surpassed myself and spanned time and space!"
After expressing such incomprehensible emotions, Emperor Liu composed himself, turned to Liu Yun and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Listening to what you are saying, are you still unwilling to go to Xinqi to join the country?"
Seeing that Emperor Liu was still struggling with the issue of whether he was willing to surrender to the country, Liu Yun was a little helpless. Facing Emperor Liu's old eyes, Liu Yun once again stated: "I still said that, I am willing to surrender to the country, but if I have to attack Japan
The country is the goal, and it is beyond my power!"
Hearing this, Emperor Liu fell silent. The reason for his silence was very simple. He realized at this time that he seemed to have set an almost unachievable goal for Liu Yun. For some things, enthusiasm was not enough.
Liu Yun obviously had a clear understanding of this matter, so he was very frank in his questioning with Emperor Liu. It was this frankness that made Emperor Liu feel extremely awkward.
Emperor Liu wanted to make a promise to Liu Yun on the spot. He and the imperial court would fully support his expansion in Japan, and even write it into the ancestral precepts.
However, after all, Emperor Liu had not reached that point. He could do this, but he would also suffer the consequences of doing so, and it would most likely be bad.
I'm afraid that future generations will not be able to fully implement his will. With such a powerful authority, there are still many constraints on how to do things. Not to mention future generations, the final result may not only fail to achieve the goal, but also destroy it.
The sanctity of his "ancestral teachings of the Imperial Han Dynasty".
As for Liu Yun's lineage that was granted the title of Ezo, the most likely outcome would be to be abandoned, or even pushed back and annihilated by Japan. This was definitely not what Emperor Liu wanted to see, and his original intention was not to exile his sons.
Emperor Liu once again fell into tangles and contradictions. He stood there looking at the map for a long time. Suddenly he turned to look at Liu Yun who was serving him respectfully and calmly. He said with a little excitement: "With your knowledge, how can you put it in the hands of the emperor?" It's really unfair to live in a barbaric land like that! With your knowledge, if I don't put you here, how can I count on others?"
Hearing this, Liu Yun hesitated for a moment, then quickly showed a wry smile, took two steps back, and bowed: "Father has too high expectations for his son."
Liu Yun acted calmly enough, but for Emperor Liu, a sense of powerlessness emerged in his heart. Loneliness swept through his body again, which was too heavy for the elderly Emperor Liu.
Holding a bamboo stick, Emperor Liu walked towards the imperial eucalyptus step by step. Liu Yun wanted to help, but Emperor Liu refused. Yantuo also came up to him, but Emperor Liu pushed him away.
Just relying on myself, I slowly walked behind the royal eucalyptus, and slowly sat on the throne that was softly cushioned and could not block the coldness. I stood tall and straight, looking straight ahead. All the old ways seemed to have disappeared. That stern look All Emperor Liu appears again.
Silently watching Emperor Liu's every move, Liu Yun felt no fear in his heart, only a dull unbearable feeling, and felt a little ashamed of Emperor Liu, so he lowered his head involuntarily.
"Raise your head!" Emperor Liu's serious voice rang in his ears.
Staring at Liu Yun, Emperor Liu said calmly: "You will also go to Nanyang, together with Liu Xiao and Liu Chun, on behalf of me and the royal family, to coordinate military and political affairs in various parts of Nanyang, to lay a solid foundation for the establishment of Nanyang feudal states, and to expand the territory. !”
Liu Yun was surprised to see that Emperor Liu had changed his mind and not allowed him to go to Ezo Island. He had rich experience at sea. Compared with Ezo, the conditions in Nanyang were naturally much better.
However, Liu Yun could not feel much joy at this time. Emperor Liu's performance really put too much pressure on people. Looking up at Emperor Liu, Liu Yun asked: "Where is Ezo Island?"
"I have other plans!" Emperor Liu said calmly.
After thinking for a while, Liu Yun added: "It is said that His Majesty has decided that Privy Guo will go south to take charge of Nanyang affairs."
In response, Emperor Liu asked coldly: "Does the King of Qi of the Han Dynasty and my prince have to be restrained by a foreign minister?"
Hearing these words, there was something strange in his ears. He glanced at Emperor Liu carefully, and Liu Yun responded in a low voice: "Yes!"
However, Emperor Liu did not pretend to be profound. After thinking for a while, he added: "Guo Liangping is in charge of the military, and you will coordinate the overall situation. When necessary, you can do things cheaply!"
Before I had time to savor Emperor Liu's words, I heard Emperor Liu say in a solemn tone: "I must do the enfeoffment in the face of popular opposition and taking huge risks.
I have given you the opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you! You just said "in my lifetime", and I also have a "in my lifetime" that I want to tell you!
I hope that before I close my eyes, the enfeoffment pattern of Nanyang can be basically established!"
Obviously, Emperor Liu started to push and pressure again!
Liu Yun had nothing to say about this, and responded with his hands raised: "I will do my best!"
After some twists and turns, there were not many princes who finally came to Emperor Liu and expressed their willingness to accept overseas feudal status. Liu Xu and Liu Ye didn't say much more. They had already made up their minds, and Liu Shu was waiting.
After going to sea, Liu Fang rarely disappoints Emperor Liu, especially in major matters. The only remaining brothers are Liu Yun and Liu Xiao. The other one is the fourteenth prince Liu Xin, who has Khitan blood in his body.
's prince.
After all, almost half of the sixteen sons responded to Emperor Liu's call, which was not an unacceptable result.
Therefore, on the twenty-sixth day of the first month of the twenty-sixth year of Kaibao, the edict of enfeoffing the country was officially issued. Different from the various news that had been circulated before, there were only three in the first batch of enfeoffment, Andong, Linyi (Xinchu)
