"Go ahead, I'm sleepy and need to take a nap!" After talking too much, Emperor Liu became a little tired and had no interest in talking anymore. He waved his hand to Liu Yang and slowly returned to Chongzheng Hall.
Liu Yang was behind, bending down to salute respectfully, but when he raised his eyes, he looked at Emperor Liu's obviously stooped back, with a little doubt on his face. When Emperor Liu mentioned Anton just now, he was obviously hesitant to speak.
, what exactly do you want to say? Liu Yang pondered secretly, but no matter what it was, it was obviously related to Liu Xu.
While returning to the palace, Emperor Liu also had a melancholy look on his face, his brows knitted together, highlighting a dilemma. He originally wanted to ask, separate the Andong region, grant it to Liu Xu, and establish the Andong Kingdom. This idea was in his mind.
I have been thinking about this for a long time and wanted to ask Liu Yang what he thought about it.
But when the words reached his throat, he held back because he himself had doubts about the matter. Although Anton was remote and bitterly cold, under the basic policy of Northeast development, as an important part of the entire Northeast border defense, he became independent
, it is inevitable to form a rift with the imperial court.
Moreover, this also belongs to the continental plate, and Emperor Liu's complex of unification is also deep. If it is just to facilitate the governance of Anton and save the burden on the court, he would just start it like this. Emperor Liu himself would not be able to grasp the stakes.
.
Emperor Liu has always had the idea of enfeoffment, but he was also hesitant about cutting corners in these corners of the mainland. Today, Anton, under the delegation of power by Emperor Liu, Liu Xu is bold and diligent.
Management has shown signs of a state within a state.
However, the imperial court still had a huge influence on the local area. Anton was limited by innate deficiencies and relied heavily on the imperial court. Coupled with the rotating local garrison and generals, supplemented by Liaodong, his control was still
Very strong.
Although this inevitably increased the burden on the court, a basic balance was achieved. Emperor Liu also considered whether to break this balance, what impact it would have, and what consequences it would have.
Not allowed.
Of course, more importantly, Emperor Liu had to take into account Liu Yang's thoughts. On the one hand, he wanted to give Liu Xu a basic foundation, but on the other hand, he was worried that such a move would cause harm to the brothers, and between the imperial court and Anton.
bring about further alienation.
Emperor Liu was naturally confident. As long as he wanted to do something, no one could stop him. Even Liu Yang had to obey his orders. However, he was sure that there would be many ministers who were opposed to it, especially those supporters of the prince.
After all, to this day, the one who threatens Liu Yang's position as crown prince is Liu Xu. Not only because of his identity as the eldest son of the emperor and the King of Qin, but also because of the ability and responsibility he has shown over the years. With the respect of the prince,
Staying in Anton for ten years, going through rough and tumble without regrets, there is no doubt that this has brought Liu Xu great prestige.
Throughout the annals of history, there are only a handful of people with such a noble status who can achieve this step, and there is no one who can even compare with it. Even Liu Yang has to admit Liu Xu's contribution to the Han Dynasty and the Northeast, let alone
of other ordinary people.
But the more this is the case, the more talents and abilities are displayed, the easier it is to arouse people's fear. Liu Yang has a generous temperament and is tolerant enough to tolerate him, but those supporters of the prince cannot help but share the Lord's worries and serve the Lord.
Anxious. Some people want to remind the prince through advice, and some people use various means to restrict and suppress Anton from other aspects. These situations are inevitable.
Just like this, Liu Xu went to Anton to recruit refugees from the northwest. Even though he got Liu Yang's permission and arranged for people to be responsible, there were many constraints and delays in the specific implementation process.
Since ancient times, for those outstanding imperial talents, it is inevitable that the label of "talents are difficult to control" is placed on their heads. Outstanding talents are sometimes a sin in themselves.
Liu Yang is famous for his generosity and generosity, but when it comes to fundamental conflicts of interest, there is no guarantee that his mentality will not change. Otherwise, when the Deng Wengu case occurred, he would not have been so inquisitive after noticing the clues.
, I want to investigate the hidden story behind it.
At the beginning, Emperor Liu sent Liu Xu to Anton, almost banishing him. However, under the simple conditions of Anton, he still accomplished a lot, which shows Liu Xu's extraordinary qualities.
From the time Liu Xu left Beijing, everything seemed to have been laid. Emperor Liu's attitude was once again clearly stated on the table. Anyone who threatened Liu Yang's position as crown prince would be dealt with first.
It stands to reason that when Liu Xu left Anton, the two older princes Liu Xi and Liu Fang were also released and took control of one side. The remaining princes posed almost no threat to Liu Yang. His status was stable, and the relationship between the brothers
The possibility of direct conflict is greatly reduced, and the relationship can be maintained better.
However, things have never been so absolute. At least, in these years, Liu Yang has inevitably received some news. If we talk about Anton, Liu Xu's actions and those measures to cultivate power are still under Liu Yang's acceptance
Within the scope, you can even laugh it off.
But there were some rumors that could not calm his heart. With such rumors, many people felt sorry for Liu Xu, especially those noble sons and private businessmen who went to Anton to seek gold.
They believe that the biggest flaw of His Highness the King of Qin is his birth. If he is also a legitimate son, if the old emperor made Concubine Geng Chen the queen in his early years, and if the emperor is succeeded by a virtuous person rather than a legitimate son, then the King of Qin's chances will be greater.
Although the facts are facts and there are not so many assumptions, it is difficult for outsiders to know how Liu Yang felt when he heard these rumors and what he thought in his heart.
At least, the mentality will not be so peaceful. Willfulness is always complicated. Using the throne to test human nature will make it difficult for anyone to be calm.
Liu Yang is not someone who is easily jealous, but when faced with such a voice, it is inevitable to have doubts. The emergence of such rumors in Tokyo means that it is abnormal. If there is no one behind the push, relying only on the spontaneous feelings of the subjects,
Apparently impossible.
For this reason, Liu Yang specially sent people to investigate, and the target was directly at Anton. It is conceivable that such rumors can appear in Tokyo, and what kind of public opinion is Anton, which has been run by King Qin for a long time, towards Liu Yang?
I'm not too optimistic, either.
Similar to Liu Yang's entanglement, Liu Yang was obviously worried in his heart, but he did not show it. Returning to the political hall, everything was as usual, handling practical matters as usual, and discussed the matters that Emperor Liu had confessed with Song Qi, Zhao Kuangyi and other ministers.
Find someone to arrange it one by one.
Until evening, after returning to the East Palace, Liu Yang specially ordered someone to invite his uncle Fu Zhaoyuan, who was the deputy commander of Gyeonggi Province at the time.
In the Hongde Hall, Fu Zhaoyuan came to see him and bowed: "I wonder what your Highness has to say to the ministers?"
Fu Zhaoyuan is the second son of Fu Yanqing. Although he is older than Liu Yang in terms of seniority, he is actually of the same age. He has had many contacts since childhood and has a deep relationship. After all, that relationship is very solid.
Looking at Fu Zhaoyuan, Liu Yang was not polite and said directly: "Your Majesty intends to call Fufeng County Gongma Huaiyu back to Tokyo. Anton needs someone to take over and take charge of the affairs of the rotating garrison. I am interested in you. I wonder if you are willing to go.
Anton and his party.”
Fu Zhaoyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but he quickly came to his senses and looked up at Liu Yang. He saw a solemn expression on his face and thoughts in his heart.
Without much hesitation, he raised his hands and said, "I am willing to go!"
