Chapter 367 The voice below

., update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

For the clan, nobles and bureaucrats in the center of the Han Dynasty, the 26th year of Kaibao's Shangyuan Xiumu was really not peaceful. Before the joy and fatigue of Shangyuan's imperial banquet faded away, they were attracted by the feudal state. look.

The edict of sealing the Seven Kingdoms has not yet been officially issued, but only some news details have been circulated. After a short period of fermentation, it triggered a huge response in the Xijing government and the public.

There was no discussion with foreign ministers, and the decision was only made through secret talks between father and son on the night of Shangyuan. As always, Emperor Liu showed his old and arrogant style and deprived the officials below the prime minister of the right to speak on this matter.

However, the matter of enfeoffing a country is not just an internal matter within the royal family. It is a major matter of conferring titles, which is related to the general strategy of the country and the stability of the country. Even if, as Emperor Liu said, it is to divide the family property among his sons and grandsons, that is It needs to be purchased using national resources. In this case, the rulers of the empire themselves should have a say.

Emperor Liu's insistent attitude and dictatorial approach to enfeoffment were obviously difficult to win over the hearts of the people. After all, even if the country was enfeoffed, most of the follow-up implementation work had to be done by internal and external military and political officials. , it is difficult to accomplish anything by just relying on those dragons, dragons, and grandsons.

Of course, the ministers were not completely opposed to Emperor Liu's proposal of enfeoffment. They were only concerned about two points, where and how to enfeoff. The first point is not a big problem. Except for Anton, there is a certain space for discussion. The areas listed in the atlas are not controversial.

The key lies in the second point. Taking Liu Shu, Duke of Chu, as an example, the enfeoffment system of Linyi (Xinchu) took more than half a year to finalize. In all aspects and regulations, Zhengshitang spent a lot of effort to finalize it. Straighten it out. According to Emperor Liu's request, the imperial court will invest enough people, money and material resources in the future to ensure the formal establishment of the New Chu Kingdom. The expenditure involved is all national power. To put it bluntly, Emperor Liu is doing this. The generosity of the Kang state is used to help personal relationships.

Not to mention anything else, the personnel arrangement alone gave the officials led by Lu Duan a headache for a long time, and they had just allocated a group of suitable officials to fill in. The affairs of the new Chu Kingdom were not over yet, and Emperor Liu released another The Star of David sealed seven kingdoms, and all of them were barbaric islands far overseas.

Compared with the Linyi area, the situation of the newly enfeoffed countries is obviously more complicated, and it is more difficult to meet Emperor Liu's requirements. In the Linyi area, in any case, it is the actual occupation and suppression by the imperial court, which affects and controls more than 20 people. In 2000, the "Chu Di" had a simple but basic enough military and political management system. Even if it was difficult to implement, at least it had such a foundation and could seek to improve and supplement it.

But what are there in other places? Some merchant and peasant immigrants, scattered strongholds, sporadic Zhendian markets, and apart from Liangping Island (Singapore), there is no city that has begun to take shape.

It would be unrealistic to regard these as the conditions for a feudal state. According to Emperor Liu's temperament, since a feudal state has been established, it is impossible to just stay in name and build a few empty feudal states with good names. This means that Therefore, to establish feudal states that form actual rule one after another, the court needs to invest a large amount of resources in the follow-up. Even a set of the most basic and crude governance and management system is not as easy as talking about it. Just thinking of that The distance of thousands of miles made some ministers with conservative opinions feel worried.

Not to mention anything else, the established government organizations on the Nanyang Islands are the first obstacle to be solved. The Han Dynasty's authority in Nanyang is growing day by day, but it first grabs food from other people's bowls, and then smashes them.

Taking someone else's blame, seizing someone else's house, and taking the land for their own use, no matter how ignorant and backward the natives are, they will not compromise easily.

I hope that the barbarians outside the region will yearn for kingship and bow to the imperial edict. Nowadays, there are not many ministers in power in the Han Dynasty who are pedantic. Once things go wrong, mobilizing troops is inevitable. Thousands of miles away

When the troops were mobilized, Anxi was already there, and it lasted for several years. The war became bigger and bigger, and the number of enemies increased.

The consumption on land has already caused the imperial court to vomit blood. Now come the "two-pronged approach" at sea. No matter how thick the blood of the Han Dynasty is, it will not be enough...

And once the feudal state was established, could the imperial court interfere? It was obviously impossible. After all, Emperor Liu didn't really want to send his descendants into exile, and he still expected them to achieve a great career.

The Han Dynasty court has never been short of worried and knowledgeable people. In view of the many problems and hidden dangers in Emperor Liu's enfeoffment policy, it was difficult for some loyal ministers and wise men to sit still. The remonstrances presented were thrown to the political affairs hall like snowflakes. Emperor Liu's

Various suggestions came one after another on the Royal Eucalyptus, and it was even busier than usual to have a good bath in the Yuan Dynasty. It was full of people and even a mess.

Of course, in the process of dealing with Emperor Liu for a long time, the ministers who had been repeatedly pushed and trained also had experience, and naturally they learned well this time. They directly opposed His Majesty the Emperor's decision-making, except for a few strongmen such as Wang Yucheng.

Baby, no one dares to do this anymore, especially in recent years.

Direct opposition is not enough, but beating around the bush and making insinuations can be used in a variety of ways. After all, Emperor Liu did not close his voice. And in this wave of admonitions, many famous articles with outstanding literary talent were produced, some of which are not pure insights.

His eloquent speeches are indeed insightful.

When turbulent public sentiment reappeared in the court, even Emperor Liu had to pay more attention.

The spring cold has not faded yet. In the Chui Gong Hall, Emperor Liu was still wearing thicker clothes and still stood in front of the map with a hunched posture, his brows furrowed and his face dark.

Song Zhun, a cabinet scholar, was waiting on the side, bowing his head and tying his hands, cautiously not daring to disturb Emperor Liu. Song Zhun was already fifty years old, but he was still as personable and outstanding as he was more than ten years ago, and his appearance made people easy to like him.

Song Zhun was born in the imperial examination. Due to his rich experience as a grassroots official, he was entrusted with actual duties after high school. He also became one of the four attendants around Liu Yang. Later, he was promoted outside and started from the state capital.

Before he was transferred to Beijing, he had been appointed deputy chief envoy to the west of Beijing.

Last winter, he was transferred to Beijing and was remembered by Emperor Liu. He was directly summoned to serve as a cabinet bachelor and secretary to Emperor Liu. Many people were envious of Song Zhun's situation. The cabinet bachelor was obviously just a transitional stage.

The future is obviously bright, and promotion is just around the corner. A department chief or a chief official in his early fifties is quite eye-catching in the current political arena of the Han Dynasty!

Not far away, there was a mountain of memorials stacked on the magnificent copper royal eucalyptus. Some Emperor Liu had read it, but most of them had not read it and had no interest in reading it anymore. They were just criticizing the current affairs and offering advice and suggestions.

There are even some people who are submissive on the surface, but secretly criticize the past, and use the past to ridicule the present. Emperor Liu can really smell that smell...
