It was not until December that Emperor Liu's spirit and body gradually improved and he could appear in front of others. On December 8, a "Laba Meeting" was held in the Long Live Hall, allowing the ministers and ministers to accompany him.
Enjoy porridge. Of course, the purpose of the gathering is to appease those people who have become unstable.
Although Emperor Liu adopted a blockade regarding his illness, the imperial city was majestic, with tall buildings and thick walls, but it could never stop the spread of news. It could suppress rumors, but it could not control people's hearts and dispel those who were always paying attention inside and outside the palace.
Speculations about the personnel involved in the accident.
The palace has always been a place of right and wrong, and Emperor Liu's Han Palace is no exception. They are also recuperating in the palace, and there are always differences in performance before and after. Past habits, and even the atmosphere in the palace, even if they are only minor changes, not to mention the palace
Internal personnel, even the ministers who often go in and out of the imperial city, can all notice it.
Emperor Liu also felt this, and just after his health improved, he held such a Laba party. The effect was naturally immediate, even if he just showed up to drink a bowl of porridge, he felt safe.
Facts have proved that for the current Han Empire, Emperor Liu is still the irreplaceable person, and the subjects who are accustomed to his rule seem unable to adapt to the days without him.
Of course, this may be just an illusion. After all, even if Emperor Liu is away, the sun still rises normally. However, Emperor Liu is still very useful to feel his "importance". No matter what, so far, he is still
The era of Emperor Liu.
...
"Dad!" Prince Liu Yang entered the palace and called out softly, passing by the crowd of saluting palace attendants.
It was afternoon, already a bit late, Liu Chengyou was eating, but he didn't seem to have a good appetite. Seeing Liu Yang, Liu Chengyou asked: "You are here! Have you eaten together?"
"I've used it!" Liu Yang responded.
Paying attention to Emperor Liu's face, Liu Yang asked with concern: "How do you feel physically?"
"Much better!" Emperor Liu waved his hand: "It's a belated illness, it will be over soon! But you are making a fuss, I only rest for a while, but it makes people panic!"
Hearing this, Liu Yang responded: "You shoulder the responsibility of the country, the country, and the country. You are responsible for all the people in the world. I can't help but care about you!"
Smiling, Emperor Liu put down his chopsticks, pointed at the "clear soup with little water" on the food table, and complained: "It has less meaty taste and less oily fishy taste. If you just eat these, how can you maintain a good body!"
Of course, the ingredients used are all nourishing treasures, used for health care, but they are a bit bland. In the past, Emperor Liu's taste was still heavy.
Therefore, Liu Yang smiled gently and said: "These are also medicinal foods. They may be a little boring, but they are good for your body. Please be patient for a while..."
Emperor Liu said: "My appetite is getting longer. What does this mean? It means that I have almost recovered!"
But he looked at Liu Yang, waved his hand, and said, "What brings you here?"
"I'm here to report two pieces of good news!" Liu Yang, who had been nervous, relaxed his face and smiled.
"What's the matter? Emperor Liao is dead?" Emperor Liu asked casually.
"Fujian has reported that Liu Guangyi and Zhang Yanqing, two generals, have returned with their troops, and Liuqiu has come down, and they have taken the local products to present to the imperial court!" Liu Yang said.
"Win it?" Emperor Liu's reaction was considered dull, and he just raised his eyebrows slightly. It's also true that winning Liuqiu is not worthy of praise.
In fact, some people had opposed sending troops before. After all, it was a land of transformation, and it was separated by a strait. A cross-sea expedition would require many troops, not worth the gain, and would be extremely risky. They were even more afraid that Emperor Liu would go further and become so overjoyed that a Sui Yang
The example of the emperor not only provided experience and lessons for the Tang Dynasty, but also for the current Han Empire.
Even some officials of the current dynasty saw that what Emperor Liu did was very different from that of Emperor Sui Yang, such as the canal, westward expansion, patrolling... and Annan, Liuqiu, Emperor Sui Yang
We also sent troops to collect them.
It’s so similar!
Most likely, it was also the choice of a talented and strategist, so they have something in common. However, Yang Guang was too conceited personally and had poor operational skills, and eventually became a tyrant. As for Emperor Liu, so far, he is still a holy lord and a wise king, and he still needs to maintain it.
.
Of course, in this era, Yang Guang was obviously unable to compare or even be compared with Emperor Liu. The gap in historical status was already there.
In fact, if Emperor Liu has achieved what he has achieved now, no matter how bad he is in the future, even if it is extremely bad, he will still be Fu Jian at worst, or an enhanced version of Fu Jian.
"It's good to be victorious!" Now that Liuqiu was restored, Emperor Liu showed a cheerful smile and said: "Let the Privy Council and the Ministry of War deal with the rewards and punishments for merits and demerits and the aftermath as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
"Liu Guangyi hasn't returned to the court for a long time!" Emperor Liu mentioned.
"Since Pingnan, when I captured Jiangxi with Cao Bin, I have been in charge of Fujian!" Liu Yang said.
"It's been so hard for him after so many years, let him come back, Fujian will arrange someone else!" Emperor Liu ordered.
"yes!"
After some thought, Emperor Liu asked again: "Although Liuqiu has been captured, how do you think it should be managed and consolidated so that it will remain an imperial territory forever?"
After hearing the question and thinking about it, Liu Yang said: "The land of wandering and seeking is isolated and isolated overseas. It is a foreign land. It is of little benefit and a pity to abandon it. It is easy to obtain but very difficult to consolidate..."
"Is this your opinion?" Emperor Liu frowned, obviously displeased.
In fact, in the eyes of most civil and military officials in the court, Emperor Liu ordered the troops to be sent out on an expedition just for the sake of achievement. And they did not stubbornly oppose it, just because Liuqiu was too weak and was simply an uncivilized barbaric people.
Land, it is not difficult to fight, it is just a training exercise to satisfy the emperor's desire for expansion.
It is unrealistic to say how much attention the imperial court paid to Liuqiu.
Emperor Liu also understood this idea, but as a prince, if Liu Yang only followed the crowd and considered this level, he would still be disappointed.
How could Liu Yang be a fool? He noticed Emperor Liu's displeased look, thought about it seriously, and said: "I thought it would be better to set up prefectures and counties in Liuliu, and appoint officials to educate and enlighten them. The officials should be selected.
They can be recruited by the imperial court and given preferential treatment, and criminals can be punished accordingly.
The Fujian and Zhejiang areas have a large population. Although they are separated by the sea, if navigation is available, it can also lead people to go out to sea and buy property. In addition, in recent years, southern overseas countries have successively entered the DPRK and traveled to Fujian and Zhejiang by sea. The number of merchants in the Guangdong and Guangxi areas has also increased.
Commercial taxes increased sharply, and I thought that Liuqiu could become a foothold for the Han Dynasty to continue to expand to the sea..."
Listening to what Liu Yang said, Emperor Liu finally showed a smile. Although Emperor Liu knew that these ideas were still taken for granted, what he wanted was just for his prince to have independent thinking and understanding. To be able to think of
Countries in the South China Sea, considering maritime trade, this is progress.
"You should discuss this matter with the princes yourself!" Emperor Liu said again: "I will listen to the result!"
"yes!"
"Isn't there two pieces of good news? Liu Qiu collects it. This counts as one, but what about the other one?" Emperor Liu asked.
"Annan reported that the south has been completely pacified. Pan Mei used land and water to attack and completely defeated the stubborn rebels, killing more than 4,000 people. The battle was successful. The thieves were either dead or surrendered. Many of the thieves' heads were surrendered, but few were killed.
Survived!" Liu Yang said.
Previously, because of the national mourning, Emperor Liu did not challenge the etiquette and ordered Pan Mei to march. However, Pan Mei still suppressed the desire to attack and chose to stay put, and stayed there for several months.
Of course, it was actually for rest and recuperation, and also to confuse the Annan rebel army. Now, with one move, the result would be the destruction of the rebel army, Annan's complete recovery, and the good news came.
"What about Leader Ding? We won't let this person escape again!" Emperor Liu asked with concern.
"Beheaded by Tian Qinruo's subordinates!" Liu Yang said: "Pan Mei has pickled his head and sent it to Tokyo with the victory report!"
"Okay!" Emperor Liu put his hands on his hands and smiled: "I have heard about this man several times. He has caused so much trouble to the Southern Expedition Army. I will send him to you later. I want to see what he looks like!"
"yes!"
"In addition, Pan Mei reported that due to the imperial court's southern expedition, some small barbarian countries around Annan are on guard. According to some information collected locally, small countries such as Chenla and Champa are all armed and are obviously on guard against the imperial court plotting against them.
!" Liu Yang said.
"What do you think?" Emperor Liu asked.
Perhaps because he had already thought about it, Liu Yang did not think too much this time and said calmly: "I thought that the expedition to Annan with tens of thousands of people would take a year to achieve full success. This shows that the situation in Tiannan is that with the power of the imperial court,
, and that’s all.
Now that Annan's old land has been restored, it is not enough to go too far. We should stop when it is enough, retain troops to suppress it, and form a large army. The soldiers are exhausted from the battle. This will not only satisfy the morale of the army, but also ease the situation in the south, allowing the court to deal with the aftermath of Annan more calmly...
..."
"Since you have this idea, just do it!" Emperor Liu's reaction made Liu Yang happy.
It was so difficult! Finally there was one thing. After he spoke, Emperor Liu had no other reaction and just asked him to do it. It was rare...
