Chapter 660(1/2)

Liu Chang never thought about cutting down the feudal vassal.

Because he doesn't need it.

He did not think that any vassal king would have evil intentions towards him and would rebel while he was still alive.

Even for the King of Yan who failed in his dream, Liu Chang had great trust in him. It was impossible for the King of Yan to rebel.

As for the future, what do you care about yourself?

Even if a vassal king came to power and overthrew his own lineage, would he dare to dig his own grave? Dare he not worship himself?

The more unfair the position is, the more they like to do something that is not there. If the vassal king comes to the throne, they will worship themselves more solemnly because it was Liu Chang who gave them this way, and Liu Chang was the first vassal king.

The superior king.

Liu Chang doesn't care about this at all, and sometimes he even feels that if his descendants are ineffective, he will let other capable brats destroy them and replace them!!

There was a parallel system of county and county feudalism, and Liu Chang didn't believe that his father couldn't see the hidden dangers. Although Liu Chang always kept saying how stupid his father was, this old man still had something, and he definitely knew it.

, but why doesn't he change? Because he doesn't care. Whoever is in power is a member of his own family anyway, and he is no longer here, so who cares about him? Do they dare to tear down their own tombs after they become in power?

Liu Chang also had absolute confidence in himself and enough trust in the vassal kings.

Instead of being afraid of these vassal kings, he gave them the opportunity to show off their talents and fully supported these vassal kings so that they could exert their full strength. The enfeoffment system was really too much for today's big men.

It's important. If there was no enfeoffment system, Liu Chang's current achievements would be at least half less. Maybe more.

To give a very simple example, if it were not for the three vassal states in the northwest, it would be impossible for the Han army to reach Shendu, and they would starve to death if they did. If they did not starve to death, the Han people would starve to death.

Liu Chang nodded, his eyes very eager.

"I conquered body poisoning, but the subsequent governance issues have not been resolved. In addition to the body poisoning problem, there is also the matter of wiping An's butt. In addition, the medical office, county school, Shang Fang, there are so many important things going to sea,

Compared with these things, the affairs of the princes and kings are not important at all, but they may be more important to An. This is also necessary. Of course, the emperor also has to fight with the princes and kings. Let’s see what An is going to do.”

The next day, the court meeting was held as scheduled.

For Liu Chang, Han Xin was his biggest military support, and Zhang Cang was his political support.

Chao Cuo lived up to everyone's high expectations. As soon as the court meeting began, he started his own memorial.

They wanted to transfer military power from the hands of the princes and kings to the hands of the state ministers and state captains.

If he doesn't take sides, it's Liu An's own business. Of course, Liu Chang won't let things get out of control. There still has to be a bottom line in this matter.

As soon as this proposal came out, it immediately aroused intense discussion among the ministers.

Moreover, Liu Chang has never had such a narrow geographical concept in his heart. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the late Han Dynasty, and even into the future, China has a very strong regional concept. In today's era, the regional concept even exceeds the national concept. Everyone will

They distinguish between themselves and outsiders based on region. They don't have the concept that we are all Han people. They directly massacre other areas and basically will not receive any moral condemnation. In their view, we are outsiders because our regions are different.

, in the eyes of King Yan, the Zhao people were probably not his kinsmen. If the two countries were at war, he could even slaughter Handan directly without any pressure.

"You don't have to worry about this. The clan is not of the same mind."

Liu An's power is not small. After these years of development, Liu An's status in the hearts of the scholars is getting higher and higher, and there are many of his people among the officials.

The first step was, of course, the military elimination of vassals.

"Peel, when you are trimming the vassal, don't forget to cut the leeks. I have been away for two years, and Liu An has supported many people at the bottom. Although it has hit the powerful, the powerful are happy. This time, I will cut it hard. I

No, Father, I don’t need to worry about their counterattack. I will never allow these moths to eat up all my hard work over the years. It just so happens that An Ye has paved the way. This time, whether they are willing or not, they have to be honest to me.

Really build a factory and do business”

Xia Wuji showed an ugly smile, "Wei!!!"

Listening to Zhang Cang's complaint, Lu Lu's face darkened. Could you please stop pointing the topic at me as soon as you talk about being powerful?

I have never invaded people’s homes, it’s all normal business!

Therefore, he objected very eagerly.

Although Liu Bi did not get the result he wanted, it was already very good. If His Majesty also participated, then there would be no possibility for them to refute. Since Your Majesty does not help, it means that they still have a chance.

In these years, Dahan has carried out large-scale reclamation campaigns and restored production, which has greatly increased food production and the area of ​​cultivated land. At this time when the country is developing rapidly, the problem of land annexation has returned. The main reason is that Dahan has developed too fast.

And the first to rise in development are often not the people at the bottom. The wealthy and powerful families have accumulated a lot of wealth and started a snowballing pattern, crazily squeezing the people at the bottom.

"Why is Your Majesty targeting King Xia like this? Although King Xia is a bit naughty, he won't steal your precious bow."

Compared with these excited people, the voices of those who opposed it were not very loud.

His will is still very influential in the court.

But in Liu Chang's place, these regional differences do not exist. From the Western Regions to the Yan Kingdom, from Nanyue to the Xia Kingdom, they are all their own people, and they should all develop, and the people living here should all live a good life.

But Liu Chang didn't care about this. Naigong did a good enough job. Although Naigong was a saint, he couldn't solve all the problems of thousands of years ago, right? Then what's the use of future generations?

Xia Wuji's appearance, of course, means that the medical officer will be responsible for the temple's medical office in the future and will not be subject to local jurisdiction.

Liu Chang was stunned. Looking at the old man standing shivering in the wind, Liu Chang frowned suddenly. He took off his fur coat, jumped to Zhang Cang's side in a few steps, and put his fur coat directly on his face.

On Zhang Cang's body, Liu Chang was tall, and the clothes were already big. Now they were draped on Zhang Cang, almost covering his whole body. Zhang Cang was stunned, and before he could say anything more, Liu Chang was

Pulled into the Hall of Houde, Zhang Cang didn't even have time to say anything before he was pushed into the hall by Liu Chang.

He tapped the case in front of him lightly with his hand and looked at Lu Lu, who was standing aside, "Lu, now you know why you want them to follow your example, right?"

"Oh, if I can't find it in the arsenal, ninety percent of it was stolen by him. Do you want to make a bet?"

"teacher??"

At this moment, Zhang Cang talked about the reason why he suddenly came to see Liu Chang.

When Chao Cuo proposed to reduce the vassal status several times, Liu Chang ignored him.

It can be seen that Chao Cuo has been planning for a long time. He used all the means he could think of. He wished he could raise the princes and kings like domestic pigs. It would be better to do nothing and just give birth to children and eat meat every day.

"Maybe it was kept in the arsenal and not taken out."

There are many supporters, and it can be seen that the ministers are relatively unified on the issue of limiting the royal power. Although the proposer is Chao Cuo, because Liu An used the princes and kings to deal with them, they have become more aware of the necessity of reducing the vassal status. Therefore,

, after Chao Cuo took the lead, he quickly sided with Chao Cuo.

"Xia Gong??? When did you come back??"

"The grain balance and expenditure for the previous year have been calculated. The grain output has decreased, and I have investigated the reasons. Part of it is because of your expedition, but the other big reason is the ownership of the cultivated land. The large amount of cultivated land that was originally cultivated

They all fell into the hands of the same kind of people. The number of tenants increased again on a large scale. As soon as we made some achievements, they couldn't wait to start building the imperial tomb."

In these years, Liu Chang went around to conquer, hunt and have fun, and the big man was still developing steadily. Liu Chang didn't believe that this was because of Taiyi's blessing. This was of course because of his master. His master was lazy and lustful, and the big man lay flat.

He is the number one minister. However, he can't resist others. Everything big and small falls into Zhang Cang's hands and can be solved easily. Nothing will be postponed until the next morning. No matter how big the task is, he can always do it.

It's very organized and logical, and it's almost impossible to find anything wrong.

The two of them are Liu Chang's iron backers, both of whom are indispensable.

Liu Chang was a little displeased and asked someone to bring him hot tea. He looked at Zhang Cang and cursed: "Master, you are already a grown man. Why are you waiting outside the palace in such cold weather? If you fall ill, this is a matter of state."

Who do you leave it to? Why are you so ignorant?"

Shrunk in Liu Chang's fur coat, Zhang Cang stubbornly stuck out his head and said angrily: "They all deserve to be killed!"

"Why do I feel that I am missing a strong bow? Why is the strong bow that I stole from Guan Hou missing??"

Liu Chang did not dare to look down upon him.

Liu Chang really didn't care about this, because before he finished speaking, he spotted a prey, and without further hesitation, he picked up his bow and arrow and went to kill it. In the evening, Liu Chang returned with a loaded load, holding a strong bow, and followed

Lu Lu asked about important matters.

Liu Chang and Lu Lu were talking, and as soon as they approached Houde Hall, they saw someone standing outside the hall waiting.

But at this moment Liu An seems to be uniting with Chao Cuo, one person is working openly and the other is working secretly to promote restrictions on the princes and kings.

"It's not cold. If it's not that cold, there's no reason for the prime minister to live in the palace and wait for the emperor. Okay, sit down, I have something very important to discuss with you."

The management of the Han Dynasty over the years was the hard work of the master and the apprentice, and they could not tolerate the trampling of others.

He doesn't like the power struggle in the temple, and he doesn't like to be a scholar leader, the head of a hundred officials. He spends some time every day to help his disciples, and the rest of the time is his own.

"Isn't he busy cutting down the feudal clan?"

"In just one year, they successfully blocked the progress of the Han Dynasty. Grain production decreased. These people cannot be killed, and they cannot all be killed, so they can only be forced to find another way out."

When Xia Wuji slowly stood up, Liu Chang's eyes lit up as he was yawning above.

However, when Chao Cuo came forward, it was his people who encouraged and supported him.

Of course, this enfeoffment system is not perfect. Its hidden dangers are very great. Even if it is a favor order, it will take a long time to see the results. If the power of the princes and kings is not restricted, sooner or later, it will cause a series of problems, which may

It was during Liu An's period, maybe during Liu Qian's period, or maybe even later.

The big man could withstand Liu Chang's torture. Zhang Cang's hard work and merit are no less than those of Han Xin.

He adopted roundabout tactics and did not undermine the banner of the domain, but proposed many things to limit the royal power.

"Who asked you to hang my teacher here?!"

Of course, Chao Cuo was not a fool and did not directly stand up and say that the princes and kings should be restricted.

Of course Liu An was also at this court meeting. He sat next to Liu Chang, his head lowered and silent.
