One thousand five hundred and seventeenth section trouble
It is the end of September, and the seventh year of Yuande is coming to an end.
The atmosphere in Chang'an City became more and more festive as a result.
The streets and alleys are beginning to be decorated with lights and colorful decorations in preparation for the New Year celebrations.
Both inside and outside the palace were extremely busy.
More than a dozen Chiyou opera troupes settled in the palace and began to rehearse their performances.
The two queen mothers in the East Palace have become theater fans in the past two years.
Especially the Empress Dowager, who has serious eye problems and her eyesight is almost zero. It is not realistic for her to watch singing and dancing.
Chi You's play is still better. Just by listening, you can understand the plot and understand good and evil.
However, amidst these festive atmosphere, there are still some not-so-sounding voices mixed in.
For example, some people have recently started to form a network. It is said that they want to petition a thousand-person congress to retain Zhou Yafu and serve as prime minister for another term.
The reason is also very upright.
Because Zhou Yafu is a good official!
A good official should stay and continue to contribute to the world. Isn't it too much to retire so early?
These guys made quite a noise, and even the East Palace asked about this matter.
The two empress dowagers, after all, were women and had soft ears. After being fooled, they felt that Zhou Yafu should be allowed to serve for another term, or even for a lifetime like Xiao He and Cao Shen.
At present, Liu Che still doesn't know what Zhou Yafu's attitude is.
But his disciples and disciples are already gearing up to renew the old coach for another four years.
The closer to the New Year, the weirder the atmosphere becomes.
Regarding this, Liu Che's attitude was: Look at him jumping, no matter how high he jumps, he will always make a mistake.
Therefore, this matter will be put aside for the time being.
Of course, in order to prevent Zhou Yafu from having the illusion that "I seem to be able to work for another four years," Liu Che issued an edict a few days ago and asked Zongzheng and Liu Jing to draft an edict of commendation and praise for Zhou Yafu after he became official.
Liu Che believed that with Zhou Yafu's political wisdom, he would not be unable to see this matter.
Chao Cuo, on the other hand, has been running around in recent days, taking Dou Ying with him everywhere, and he has actually won over almost all the special elders of the Han Dynasty.
It can only be said that once Legalists start playing tricks, it will be simply terrifying!
With the support of all the Tejin elders, Chao Cuo actually had a pass to the throne of prime minister.
Because the Tejin elders are basically the elders of the army and the sacrificial wine of the Wuyuan, they are enough to influence the attitude of the military.
The endorsement of the army is crucial in today's Han Dynasty politics.
Without the endorsement of the military, it is a question whether the Prime Minister's order can be issued.
But, these things are not important now.
Because, Liu Che has more important things to deal with.
Just three days ago, Yuan Hui, the governor of Hanzhong County, reported that a delegation came from the southwest, claiming to be King Bo and King Yelang. The envoy from the King of Dian wanted to go to Chang'an to pay homage to the Holy Emperor.
In other words, the southwestern Yi countries finally could no longer endure being bullied and abused by Liu Che's two father-in-laws.
They would rather take the risk and travel through the entire Shu County to Hanzhong before raising the banner.
The purpose was actually to force Liu Che to respond positively.
Should these missions be allowed to enter Chang'an?
Liu Che was very distressed.
You're right, that means that the southwestern barbarian countries have since been included in China's traditional tribute system.
The Han Dynasty will become the suzerain state of various countries, and the Han Dynasty's legal right to rule over the southwestern Yi region will be clarified.
This is equivalent to announcing the end of the tricks played by the two father-in-laws in the southwestern Yi countries in the past eight years, and the Han Dynasty will lose a stable source of cheap labor.
But don't you think so...
One goes against traditional etiquette and moral concepts.
Confucius once said, it is a joy to have friends from far away.
Besides, this family is crying and shouting that they want to become a vassal state.
To reject them would be to clearly declare the death of the tribute system.
From then on, the Han Dynasty would only conquer and never surrender.
This is not easy to open!
Moreover, to be honest, the people of the southwestern Yi countries are actually related to the Xia people.
Like the Dian Kingdom, the descendants of the Chu Kingdom, Yelang and Bo Kingdoms have Ba people's ancestry.
It's not right to bully others like this all the time.
Besides, in fact, the southwestern barbarian countries have almost exhausted their oil and water.
If they continue to be forced to do so, I'm afraid they will have to fight tooth and nail. Even if they lose everything, they will show the Han family how powerful they are.
Fighting on two fronts is a taboo!
Didn’t you see that even Midi Mao Xiong was once tricked into tears by the two-front war?
Therefore, after much consideration, Liu Che approved the mission's request to enter the DPRK.
Let Dahonglu Gongsun Kunxie go receive these friends from far away and listen to their complaints.
As a result, the prosperous age of Linqiong's smelting industry came to an end.
Unless Zhuo Wangsun and Cheng Zhengying can open up transportation to India, the slave workers they have now may be the last cheap slave workers they can find.
However, these two father-in-laws still have a sense of urgency. They sent people to Jiaozhi a few years ago to open a copy of Jiaozhi. Last year, they went to Shunde again with the intention of opening a Munan branch.
In addition to this incident, another issue that killed a large number of Liu Che's brain cells was undoubtedly his dear brother, the King of Huainan Liu Rong.
This year, according to the ancestral system, it is the time for Liu Rong to visit Chang'an.
Whether Liu Che wants to see his eldest brother or not, Liu Rong is willing to come to Chang'an and kneel down to pay respects to Liu Che.
It is inevitable for the two of them to get together again.
But the problem is...
How to deal with it, or how to treat this brother?
What kind of etiquette should be used to welcome him? When he arrives, where will he be placed? Should he be allowed to go to Deyang Palace to worship the late emperor?
These are troublesome things.
What's even more terrible is that Mongolian King Liu Fei, Jiangdu King Liu Yan, and even Lu King Liu Duan have already said: My brother in Huainan should not be enshrined in the temple of the late emperor!
This palace soap opera finally turned into a Shakespearean drama.
Liu Che could only face this situation with great embarrassment.
What Liu Rong did in the Huainan Kingdom was thanks to Liu Fei's big mouth. Now, not to mention Liu Che's brothers, even the common people in Chang'an City knew that the old Liu family was unfortunate and had a bad boy.
, he actually disobeyed his father and occupied his ancestral temple.
There was even more discussion among the government and the public.
Those ministers and even elders who claimed to be loyal ministers of the late emperor were even more furious. They jumped to their feet and shouted, "If you don't kill Huainan, you won't be able to thank the world."
But the problem is...
Liu Che knew full well that everyone was just acting.
If he really wants to kill Liu Rong, he guarantees that all the ministers will kneel in the Xuanshi Palace, and maybe the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will protect Liu Rong to the death.
There is no way, this is the essence of Chinese politics.
As an emperor, a man as the Son of Heaven is not only the supreme ruler of the country, but also the head of all families in the world.
The Chinese have very high demands on their parents.
First, it must be strict, then it must be kind, and then it must be able to support a large family.
As a parent in the world, it is even more important to set an example for the people in the world.
Filial piety is a must.
Respect from brothers, friends and brothers is an essential element.
"Alas..." Thinking about this, Liu Che had a severe headache.
He even thought about whether he should simply send someone to poison Liu Rong to death.
But after thinking about it, this plan was abandoned. Because of poisoning your brother, once the clues are discovered, the consequences are unimaginable.
And how powerful was the Bagua Party in the Han Dynasty? Liu Che knew very well that these guys had very powerful powers.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
There was no other way, so Liu Che could only send someone on the road to slow down Liu Rong's entry into Beijing. It would be best to let him drag him on the road until the first month of next year, so that King Liu Fei of Meng, King Liu Yan of Jiangdu, etc. could all return home.
Without the trouble caused by these younger brothers who swore that they would "definitely destroy their relatives", Liu Rong would not have been beaten with a black nose and a swollen face after entering the capital.
But unfortunately, Liu Che once again had good intentions and was treated like a donkey by Liu Rong.
Instead of slowing down on the road as Liu Che asked, Liu Rong ordered the convoy to speed up.
It’s not that far from Huainan to Guanzhong.
At Liu Rong's current speed, he could arrive in Chang'an by Jiawu in October at the latest.
By the time……
Liu Rong rubbed his temples...
Decades after the founding of the Han Empire, is it going to be the first time that brothers fight against each other?
And he fought in front of the chief planners and envoys of the vassal states all over the world?
