Liu De completely ignored the look in Liu Rong's eyes. He took a slight step forward and stood just parallel to Liu Rong. He looked at Liu General's house, raised his hands and asked, "Young man Liu De, dare to ask how many children the emperor has?"
"
Liu Jianglu never expected that Liu De would be so open-minded. One second he was talking about cutting off the vassal, and the next second he jumped to the issue of his heirs.
Not only Liu Jianglu, but also the princes and relatives present could not figure out what Liu De was doing.
Liu Jianglu was stunned for a moment and then replied: "I have eleven sons!"
Liu De asked again: "I dare to ask my uncle, are all the eleven royal brothers still filial and observant of etiquette, and are they all good-natured?"
Liu Jianglu was a little confused about what Liu De was doing. Although he thought at least four or five of his eleven sons were idiots and didn't like him very much, the family scandal should not be made public, and considering the fact that it was in front of the emperor and the princes.
, but also wanted to leave some room, so he said: "They are all still filial and polite..."
Liu De asked: "Dare I ask my uncle, who is the prince?"
"The eldest son Liu Shou!" Liu Jianglu answered this question without even thinking about it. This was no secret.
This is what Liu De was waiting for. He smiled slightly, showing his white teeth, and sighed: "Uncle Huang is so mean!"
Liu Jianglu's face turned pale immediately. If he hadn't been in the Xuanshi Palace, and if Liu De hadn't been the prince, he would have slapped him with a big-eared melon seed after hearing such a comment.
But in front of the princes and relatives of the emperor, Liu Demao rashly said that he was mean. Even though Liu Jianglu felt that his cultivation was already very good, he still became angry and could not care about anything else. He hummed: "Why did your highness say such a thing?"
"Where can I be so mean?" He turned around and kowtowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me?"
His eyes turned red as he spoke.
Emperor Liu Qi felt secretly happy when he saw Liu Jianglu like this, but he still pretended to be serious and asked Liu De: "Liu De! What's the matter with you! How can you speak rudely to King Qi? If you don't give me anything today,
If you come up with a reasonable explanation, I will punish you severely!"
Liu Rong saw that even the emperor was angry, and then looked at Qi Wang Liu General Lu's livid face, and felt secretly happy.
"You deserve it! I'm calling you majestic!" Liu Rong thought to himself, "What will you do?"
But when he turned his head slightly, he didn't see the expected frightened look on Liu De's face. He still had that calm expression, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Liu Rong only heard Liu De laugh, and then said: "Uncle Huang, you are not wrong...Uncle Huang, you have eleven sons. If everything is as he said, they are generally filial and polite.
Why is the emperor's uncle so partial? I'm just complaining about the injustice of the emperor's remaining ten princes!"
"What do you mean by this?" Liu Jianglu stood up and asked.
"Uncle, you see, the eleven princes under your knees are all filial and polite pillars of the Han family. They are of the high emperor's blood. Why did the emperor only raise the eldest son and abandon the other sons? A hundred years later, the prince took over the title, and
However, at most, only one or two of the other disciples can be recognized by the court and be granted the title of Chehou, while the rest of the disciples have to disappear into oblivion... I'm just complaining about those prince brothers who will disappear into the market and have a humble career from now on.
!" Liu Deyou said leisurely
"Then what should I do between your highnesses?" Liu Jianglu was dumbfounded by Liu De. This has been the case for princes since ancient times. They established a prince to inherit the throne, and the other princes each made a living. Those with better luck might be able to mix in.
The duke does it.
Liu De smiled slightly and said: "In my humble opinion, the emperor's uncle should report to the court and all the eleven sons will be established as princes. In this way, a hundred years later, the emperor's uncle will have eleven brothers who will establish a country and build a society.
They are all princes!"
As soon as Liu De said these words, the entire Xuanshi Palace suddenly fell into terrible silence.
Some of the princes who were sent as representatives felt that their internal organs were trembling, and their eyes suddenly became energetic from the previous dullness.
Most of these princes who were sent to Chang'an by their fathers as representatives were concubines who were not very favored and would not feel bad even if they died in Chang'an.
Naturally, these princes are just taking the title of princes. After their father kicks off his legs, they will be given some money, share some of the family property, and go out to make a living for themselves.
Previously, there was nothing they could do about it.
After all, wherever the ancestral system and the rules of the Han family are laid out, even if you have any dissatisfaction, you can only swallow it.
But now when they heard what Liu De said, their eyes suddenly lit up.
If Liu De could convince Liu General to agree to his plan, then when they returned to the feudal country, they would naturally publicize this matter.
Of course they are not favored, but there are still a lot of favored brothers in their respective kingdoms who cannot become princes. As long as these brothers are encouraged to get up and make trouble, and their mothers blow the pillow wind, it will not be impossible in the future.
Maybe he can become a king.
As for the trap hidden in what Liu De said, the princes and princes present were not fools and could naturally see it at a glance.
If Liu De's method is followed, the feudal states will become smaller and smaller, and their power will become weaker and weaker. After three or five generations, the current feudal states may completely become small countries with no sense of existence.
It's just that people are selfish.
There is a saying that after I die, I won’t care about the flood!
What's more, the prince who was sent as a representative had no chance to become the king of a country, and even the title of Marquis of Guannei was in doubt.
"Yes! Why can XX be the crown prince and rule a country in the future, and have three thousand concubines, while I can only run around and even live a life of hunger and cold?" Many princes began to have small thoughts in their hearts.
Even the thoughts in the hearts of some princes and kings began to move.
For example, a certain prince did not like his prince at all, but he loved the two young sons born to his beloved concubine. However, the prince was conferred by the imperial court, and he was unable to resist at all.
However, if Liu De's method is followed and the feudal kingdom is divided, the eldest son will inherit his throne, and the other disciples will each get a piece of territory, and they will be called the lonely ones.
Doesn't this seem like a bad thing?
Facts have proven that not everyone is ambitious and not everyone has vision.
More people only think about the present. As for the future? Let’s wait until later!
However, if such a beautiful thing wants to succeed, it depends on the emperor!
As a result, countless eyes were focused on Liu De and Liu Jianglu, and many people looked at Liu Jianglu eagerly, just hoping that a good word would come out of Liu Jianglu's mouth.
Liu De naturally also understood that at this moment, he should strike while the iron is hot, so he said seriously: "If the emperor thinks that what I said is right, then I would like to intercede with the emperor on behalf of the emperor and ask the emperor to follow the instructions of King Zhao Xiaoyou."
For example, how about granting permission for this matter?"
The so-called King Xiaoyou of Zhao refers to Liu Bang's beloved son Liu Ruyi, who was named King of Zhao.
After wiping out the Lu and ascending the throne, Emperor Xiaowen was very sympathetic to King You's plight, so he divided the Zhao Kingdom into two and made King You's eldest son Liu Sui the King of Zhao, and his youngest son Liu Pijiang the King of Hejian.
This is an act of kindness that is still praised by princes today.
Liu Jianglu moved his lips, but made no sound.
He knew in his heart that this was a trap wrapped in honey.
but……
He closed his eyes and thought about the two young sons he loved, and then thought about the delicate beauties in his breasts.
He knew that even if he knew it was poisonous, he still had to jump out of this pit!
