No one among the princes and kings was willing to say anything. They were all hesitant and seemed reluctant to give up.
But none of them dared to explicitly refuse. After all, Liu Jian was a man of false integrity, and he was fully qualified to coordinate the troops and horses of various princes and kings under the Animal Husbandry Department.
But those who are qualified are qualified, and those who are unwilling will still be unwilling in their hearts.
The attitude of the five princes and kings was naturally within Liu Jian's expectations.
But Liu Jian was not in a hurry. He just ordered his steward to get a pot of Zhongshan clear wine.
Later, Liu Jian personally divided the pot of Zhongshan clear wine among the six nobles.
There are also stewards of their own families who carry it to each prince's table.
Liu Jian took the lead in raising the wine cup and said: "Drink."
The princes and kings didn't understand what Liu Jian wanted to do, but they couldn't help but drink with him.
So the five kings raised their wine glasses and drank with Liu Jian.
"But, how long can you, the little kings, survive just by relying on your own private property, money and food to support your troops?"
"You want to pay for it yourself, but it's hard for you to wait."
"Yes, you young kings, please think about it. Those soldiers and horses are all supported by you young kings with your own wealth. The prefectures and state offices can not help you young kings raise their troops, because that will be the case."
This article was included in the national policies and decrees of the Han Dynasty."
"You are frightened but you can answer. Your Majesty said to you, Liu Deran, he is really a useful person. I gave him an ax and ax to kill. Do I want him to look like this?"
In the end, Anping King Liu Xu and Ganling King Liu Zhong, who were as bold as mice, were the first to resist the pressure.
When all the princes and kings heard what He Jin said, they felt inexplicably uneasy in their hearts.
"When the late emperor was still alive, he did not grant you the right to open a government and participate in government affairs, nor did he issue an order to give you money and food for raising troops."
"clatter."
"clatter."
He Jin also said nothing, just quietly watching the seven of us performing outside.
Liu Bei, the king of Hejian, said: "What you said is reasonable, but the situation in front of you cannot be changed by you princes and kings."
There is not even a small difference between those princes and kings and the local prime ministers and prefects.
Then he saw Changshan King, Zhao King, and Hejian King also stood up one after another, knelt down on the ground, and cried in pain.
All the princes and kings, if they look at you and you look at them, they will know how to respond.
"My late Emperor, I am a capable minister, and it is in keeping with the late Emperor's entrustment."
Of course we can hear the threat in those words.
This is not strong and shows a weak sense of resistance.
"As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses are moved, go ahead with food and grass. They have no soldiers and generals, but they have food and grass. You see, after eight years, they have the strength to continue raising troops."
He Jin nodded and said: "Therefore, if the soldiers and horses in their hands are involved in war, they will be annexed by the ministers of other countries sooner or later. Now Liu does not have the power to arbitrarily mobilize the soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion in Hebei Province.
At this time of chaos, if the soldiers and horses in your hands can merge with the state and participate in the war, then the food and grass of each county will naturally not be supplied to you."
It's not that we are all born strong people. It's because those people have been suppressed for generations, and being strong has not become a habit.
This is not because we have been suppressed since we were young, but because we are often threatened by others with real power.
Several princes and kings were so frightened by the loud sound that they broke out in sweat.
"I wonder what the late emperor said to the envoy in his dream?" Anping King Liu Xu asked.
"Seven years, ten years, seventy years?"
"And the elites they have worked so hard to cultivate over the past eight years will be taken into our hands without any resistance by the local governors who have been suppressing them."
When he said that, He Jin suddenly stopped talking.
"You really made a bad wedding dress for others."
People who have been suppressed all year round naturally have no common characteristics.
After comforting everyone for a while, Jiao Wei said anxiously again: "Jiao Wei is very clear about the worries in the hearts of all the little kings. As clan members of the Han Dynasty, all of you have achieved success.
, now that I suddenly have the right to build an army, I cherish it very much, and dare to take action easily. You understand very well. If I put myself in your shoes, I would not think twice."
When the Yellow Turbans came together, we both abandoned the country. You can imagine our courage.
"The late Emperor, you are right to wait and stay first! The late Emperor's spirit in heaven must rest in peace, it is your fault to wait."
"The late emperor asked me, how has the country of Han Dynasty changed since his death?"
Those two have been in office for decades, have been suppressed for the longest time, and are the most brave.
When they got up, they saw the two people standing up from their positions and crying bitterly.
"I am willing to follow the late emperor!"
"Young princes, don't be like this. Although you haven't passed, the spirit of the late emperor in heaven also wants to see you like this. Again, our Liu clan needs to be divided. Only if you are divided and united can we support that
The heaven that belongs to you Liu family has been usurped by my people."
"As long as the soldiers and generals of the little kings can participate in the war and achieve meritorious service, if they have no merit as a guarantee, you will submit a report to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to grant the kings a quota of food and salary, and gradually open up the power of governance. Isn't that so?
Is it too slow?"
Those words can be said to be true, and none of the princes and kings surnamed Liu present felt ashamed.
Speaking of the first thing, He Jin's eyes were not gentle at the end, and I looked at the seven princes and kings present.
The spirit of the other eight princes and kings was originally very unified. Now that they saw King Anping and King Ganling being the first to lose their temper, it was natural that they could continue to hold on.
"I said that now, Yuan Wei is the Grand Tutor and has recorded the affairs of the Shangshu. Yuan Ji is the Situ. Three people in the Yuan family have been sent down to serve as state shepherds. The rest of the local governors have been sent down by the ministers of the court.
It’s a winning number.”
"I am very capable!"
He Jin stood up, came to the front of the princes, and helped us up from the ground one by one.
"Your Majesty asked you again, Jiao Wei is a relative and her surname is Liu. Why are you surnamed Liu able to find a way to unite to maintain the stability of the court?"
He Jinhui patiently persuaded everyone to return to our seats.
Jiao Wei thought to herself and said: "Before you finish saying this, Your Majesty asked you, after my death, I made Liu Jian a minor general, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were both made marquises, and Jian Shuo was made a captain of the Xiyuan Campus.
Why did the eight shepherds bring the fate of the Han Dynasty to this point? How could the late emperor’s lifelong efforts be ruined? Can that country still have the surname Liu?”
Before that habit is engraved in our bones, as long as we scare us a little bit, we may get the same effect.
There was no other sound in the whole hall, except for the sound of the bartender banging his head up and down on the table.
"clatter."
When all the princes and kings heard this, they all knew that the topic was coming, and they immediately gathered their energy and sat upright.
After hearing this, all the princes and kings nodded one after another and said continuously: "Yes, yes."
After putting down the wine baron, Liu Jian sighed: "To be honest, I had a dream yesterday, and I saw the late emperor in my dream."
I closed my eyes, held the wine glass in my hand, and knocked heavily on the table behind me.
"What do you think?"
But he saw He Jin hurriedly supported his body with his hands and said: "Answer your majesty, Liu Jian in the court is on good terms with the eunuchs, but on the contrary, he has joined forces with the Yuan family to suppress the imperial power of the emperor."
