When the uncle and nephew were chatting happily, Liu Yan arrived on time.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty..." Liu Yan came to the palace, bowed to Liu Che first, then turned to Liu Wu and said, "Well, Uncle Emperor..."
"Brother, please take a seat..." Liu Che waved his hand and asked Wang Dao to prepare a seat for Liu Yan.
For Liu Che, deceiving Liu Wu and letting Liu Wu come forward was just the beginning.
After all, Liu Wu was alone, so his voice was still a little thin.
However, there is another group power that can be utilized.
Those are Liu Che's dear brothers.
Liu Rong, Liu Fei, Liu Yu, Liu Duan, Liu Fa...
Today, more than three years after the death of the emperor's father, these brothers, even the youngest Liu Fa and Liu Pengzu, are gradually becoming more sensible.
As for the older brothers Liu Rong and Liu Fei, they also have their own children.
My three views have gradually stabilized, and I now know how to behave appropriately.
Even Liu Rong and Liu Che heard that his temper seemed to be better.
Although he is still like that, with his nostrils pointing upward, claiming to be the 'eldest son of the late emperor and the eldest king of the country', he more or less knows how to behave.
Liu Che is convinced that his dear brothers and their mothers will definitely be willing to move a place for him.
The land of Qilu has always been famous for its prosperity and wealth.
Linzi City alone can earn thousands of gold every year just from collecting rent and taxes, which is equivalent to a money-printing machine.
Jiaodong and Jiaoxi's building ship bases have gradually become a stable source of income recently.
However, Liu Che didn't want to have much to do with these brothers.
Except for Liu Duan and Liu Yu, who took care of Liu Che out of sympathy and pity, Liu Che didn't want to pay much attention to the other brothers.
This is normal, the emperor's family has always been ruthless.
In the eyes of a normal emperor, all brothers are unstable security risks.
Besides, these brothers don’t have many fuel-efficient lamps.
In the future, if possible, Liu Che plans to let all his brothers go to India and the Western Regions to establish themselves as kings.
In this way, their talents should have room to develop.
For example, Liu Fei, don’t you love fighting?
Central Asia and West Asia are a vast world with great potential!
Isn't Liu Pengzu too narrow-minded and fond of playing tricks? The people of Third Brother will definitely be willing to be educated and trained by him.
And Liu Duan, his ability and talent are simply a waste in China!
He is going to the Western Regions. Guaranteed, he will be someone like Taigongwang or Uncle Fang of Zongzhou.
In addition, if the Emperor Wu in history was the king of Kyushu, Liu Che would definitely have trouble sleeping at night, but if he went to India or even West Asia.
Then Liu Che can sit back and relax because he has a younger brother who is tens of thousands of miles away. No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to fly back to China to win the hearts and minds of the people with him.
Moreover, with the talent of Emperor Wu, it should be effortless to defeat the Hellenistic city-states in Central Asia and West Asia!
Now, using the talents of the brothers to deal with the kings of Qi and Lu can be regarded as giving full play to their abilities.
"I just talked with the emperor about the King of Jinan..." Liu Che waited for Liu Yan to sit down and said, "I and the emperor both feel that the kings of Qilu can no longer tolerate him!"
When Liu Wu heard this, he immediately agreed: "After discussing with Your Majesty, I really feel that the kings of Qi and Lu are arrogant and extravagant, and they can't inherit the ancestral temple and serve the country. Otherwise, the high temple will be humiliated!"
When Liu Yan heard this, he was a little stupid.
He still hasn't figured out what the situation is.
Liu Che said again: "When the late emperor was here, the ambitions and disobedience of the kings of Qilu were already known to everyone!"
"The late emperor took the overall situation into consideration, so he greatly benefited his generation, but he did not expect that his generation became more and more rampant and had no image of a minister!" Liu Che said seriously: "Especially in Jinan, Jiaoxi, Zichuan, and Jibei, the disaster is even worse
!”
Among Liu Fei's disciples, only Liu Zhang, the second oldest, is a hero.
The young boy Zao Hui was a man of extraordinary prowess and martial prowess. With his weak body, he made great contributions to the Liu family by fighting with various Lus.
But unfortunately, Liu Zhang died young.
His son, Liu Xi, the current King of Chengyang, can only be regarded as a mediocre person, but the advantage is that he is a die-hard loyalist of the Liu family, so his lineage can be excluded from Qilu's rebellion.
As for the remaining Qilu kings...
Probably only Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, and Liu Xiongqu, the king of Jiaodong, were somewhat similar to each other.
Others are either scum and scum, or cowardly tyrants.
I'm not polite to say that the people of Qilu have been waiting for a long time!
If we don't deal with them, this riot will only be the beginning, not the end!
"When King Jiangdu returns, he will tell my brothers and sisters: Don't forget Liu Xingju's disaster!" Liu Che said to Liu Yan.
Even if the brothers don't know about this matter, it doesn't matter. Their ministers and relatives will know it.
What's more, Liu Che is now ready to deal with the kings of Qi and Lu.
Liu Che believes that the brothers will definitely be very enthusiastic.
On the contrary, if they only target Liu Biguang alone, they will not take it seriously!
The reason is very simple, if all the kings of Qi and Lu are eradicated.
This will immediately vacate six feudal states that are uniquely endowed with natural resources, a fertile state, and a developed population and economy.
For brothers like Linjiang, Changshan, and Changsha, this may be an irresistible temptation!
Even sisters Wang Zhi would probably be very excited.
Qilu is much better than Wu, Chu, Yanzhao!
The wages of avarice is death.
Liu Che is sure that his brothers will definitely stand by him this time.
In this way, together with the Dai Wang Liu Deng, Yan Wang Liu Dingguo and other kings, as well as the idiot King Chengyang, Liu Che united most of the power of the clan princes and kings under his command.
The kings of Qi and Lu immediately became a damned and abominable group of unscrupulous people who had evil intentions towards the emperor and the country.'
Immediately, he will "die worthy of his innocence."
If these guys were smart enough, they would immediately choose to cut with Liu Piguang.
Just like they betrayed Liu Xingju back then, and later betrayed Liu Bi during the Wu-Chu Rebellion.
After sending Liu Yan and Liu Wu away, Liu Che stood in the palace.
He knew that the power of the clan had been united by him.
All that's left is to deal with the noble bureaucrats.
"Unite the majority and attack the small group..."
In this incident, Qilu was just a small group in the clan.
Among those bureaucrats and ministers, who are the handful?
The answer is those lawless scum who are used to being domineering and domineering in feudal countries!
Only they will be afraid of the people's armed resistance and clamor for suppression.
"Call the imperial censor to come to court..." Liu Che gave the decisive order.
To deal with these scum, of course we need to close the door and let Chao Cuo go!
Chao Cuo is their natural enemy!
Moreover, Chao Cuo will definitely not refuse to deal with these scum.
However, it is not enough to just deal with these guys who dance happily and absolutely do not want to see Liu Che making decisions for the people.
Because, there may be many people who, after seeing Liu Che's attitude, choose to stay dormant and pretend to be the Holy Emperor on the surface, but in private they try their best to hold back and cause trouble.
Guys like this are never rare in history books.
Even though Lord Shang carried out the reform, Qin's old aristocracy also caused countless ups and downs in private.
If Lord Shang had not supported a brand new interest group, I am afraid that the Qin State might have fallen into internal strife due to the reform.
Such an example has been proven in Chu State.
Wu Qi was shot and killed at the funeral of King Chu, and the reform was abandoned.
After that, the once powerful Chu State went from bad to worse and became the scumbag of other countries.
It even became a target that the Qin army could bully and rape at will.
Even in South Korea, life is better than Chu State at certain times.
Liu Che has not yet been able to support an interest group strong enough to compete with the old aristocratic bureaucracy.
Therefore, all he can choose is to bribe.
However, this bribery also needs to be particular.
If the method used is wrong, it is very likely that they defeated Qilu's faint king and tyrant here, but turned around and cultivated a more terrifying and worse group.
"My grace order has basically stabilized the princes..." Liu Che thought in his mind.
The bonus of the grace order can last for at least ten years. During this period, the princes will not cause trouble to Liu Che. At least, they will only kneel down and lick Liu Che, the emperor, before they digest the benefits.
Moreover, Liu Che's brainless fans and basic cards now account for more than half of the Liehou Group.
Chao Cuo can take care of the remaining three melons and two dates.
Therefore, when it comes to dealing with the issue of Liu Piguang, the only ones who can really oppose Liu Chefang are the civil servants.
Among the civil servants, Huang Lao and the Legalists can be eliminated first.
Legalist thinking and politics determine that Legalist bureaucrats must be a group that will only kneel down and lick the emperor endlessly.
For them, the emperor is everything, and the law is secondary.
Maintaining the majesty of imperial power and law is the purpose of Legalism's existence.
As for the old school Huang...
Those who eat are soft-mouthed and those who take advantage of others are short-handed.
The Huang-Lao faction, which is attached to the ruling class, will only obey the wishes of the rulers.
In fact, to be honest, if Liu Che just wanted to deal with the lawlessness of the Qilu kings, then even Confucians would not object.
As the saying goes, if the king wants his minister to die, he must die!
The kings of Qi and Lu did not break the law, but they did not break the law. If the emperor wants you to die, if you don't die, in the eyes of Confucians, you are a rebellious minister and traitor.
Not to mention, since ancient times, Confucian scholars have been the best target of the interpretation that "those who understand current affairs are heroes".
Confucianism will always stand on the side of "justice" at all times.
Of course, this axiom and justice is based on fists.
Now, Liu Che has the biggest fist. As long as the Confucian scholars are not stupid, they will naturally know what they will choose.
However, the problem is...
Liu Che doesn't want to just deal with the kings of Qilu...
He wants to set a benchmark!
Just like Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong, they legislate for all generations and establish destiny for their descendants!
This may touch the sore feet of some Confucian scholars, and of course, it may also scratch the itch of another group of people.
Therefore, while waiting for Chao Cuo to enter the palace, Liu Che had been working at his desk drafting the edict.
One after another, he crumpled the white paper into a ball and threw it into a carbon disk.
This is not because of the wording.
In fact, for all Liu Che's edicts, he would basically only write the general meaning and core program.
The remaining parts, such as quoting scriptures and polishing them, were all done by Ji An and Shangshu Lang.
After all, the Spring and Autumn Period, Poetry, Book of Changes, and Zuo Zhuan total more than a million words.
Liu Che is not a top student, so he can't remember everything so well and be able to use it at any time.
Finally, after more than half an hour of constant deliberation and weighing, Liu Che wrote a fairly satisfactory edict outline.
Looking at the words on the desk, Liu Che dragged his cheeks, smiled and nodded.
Then, he handed it to Wang Dao beside him and ordered: "Take it to Lantai, polish it, and then bring it to me for a look!"
"promise!"
…………………………
At the same time, on Chengen Island in the distant Yuanhai.
Chen Xi and his men have visited all parts of the island.
As for the savages on the island who called themselves "Beigou", they lay down in front of Chen Xi like a dog and respectfully offered some "top tributes" such as dried fish and animal skins to Chen Xi.
.
For the people of the ‘Begou’ tribe.
The Han army riding the waves and riding the unprecedented giant ships were no different from the gods.
Not to mention that the armors on the gods and the weapons in their hands are like artifacts.
Their current psychological state is just like that of later generations of American colonists who set foot on the American continent and the local natives treated the white people from foreign lands.
"Great God, please accept our worship..." The leader of the Beigou tribe, a woman wrapped in a grass skirt and animal skin, lay at the feet of Chen Xi and said in a twittering dialect.
Chen Xi, of course I don’t understand.
But it doesn’t matter, there are some Korean guides who can understand a little bit.
Although it's not much, I can barely translate it and the general meaning can be translated.
"God?" After listening to the translation, Chen Xi laughed so hard that he almost cramped up.
"Tell them..." Chen Xi puffed out his chest and said to the Korean guides: "I am the Great Han Longluhou. Under the orders of the Emperor, I came to the country of the Japanese slaves to promote the king's transformation. This island has become the land of the Emperor of China. Questions?
Are they willing to die serving the Emperor of China?"
For Chen Xi, he certainly did not forget that the purpose of this trip was to capture as many Japanese slaves as possible and return them to build cities, cultivate land, and mine for gold.
Cheng'en Island is an excellent transit place.
After all, fleet cabins have limited space.
At most two to three thousand Japanese slaves could be transported back at one time.
But the number of Japanese slave workers he needs is unlimited.
In this case, Chen Yu needs a group of loyal and reliable henchmen to help him act as overseers, jailers and guards.
These humble people seem to be up to the task.
The people of the Beigou tribe, after listening to the Korean translation, could not understand the meaning, but what a great honor it was to be able to serve the gods!
The female leader of the Beigou tribe immediately kowtowed on the ground and said, "It is our honor to serve God!"
This sentence doesn't need to be translated, even Chen Yu can understand it.
Because this humble attitude and respectful behavior cannot be faked.
"The emperor's brother-in-law's plan can be implemented..." Looking at these humble people, Chen Xi thought in his heart.
"The best strategy is to divide and disintegrate, and use Japanese slaves to capture Japanese slaves!" (To be continued.)
