Zhou Yafu listened, but his heart was racing and he couldn't help himself.
Previously, Liu Che, the emperor, had used practical actions to prove his generosity and generosity to the heroes, princes and nobles.
For a place as big as Huaihua, it was closed immediately.
Everyone received a new fiefdom equal to their own fiefdom.
In China at this time, the feudal system was not a remote rule like the unified dynasties of later generations.
After all, the Warring States Period had just ended, less than seventy years ago.
The tradition left by Zong Zhou still has considerable inertia.
In China at this time, not only were the princes and kings worthy of the name, they had military power, financial power, and personnel power, but the power of the princes and kings was also extremely huge.
They enjoy various privileges within their feudal states and are princes in the true sense.
Nowadays, although the authority of these princes and kings has been greatly reduced compared to the early days of the country, many powers have been taken back by the central government.
But he can still be called the lord of a country and the minister of the country.
Its fiefdom is called a feudal state, and princes and kings can still exert huge influence on their fiefdom.
Some powerful princes can even use their status and reputation to influence the economic and livelihood policies of the surrounding counties and even the counties where they are located.
Therefore, let alone the so-called Japanese slave land across the sea, or the faraway foreign lands of the Western Region and Shendu.
Even in deserts and saline-alkali lands, if the emperor wants to reward his ministers, he will not be picky about them.
I will definitely go to build it happily.
Just, there's a problem.
"Your Majesty, in the past, Emperor Gao and the heroes of the feudal lords made an alliance by punishing the white horse: if the Liu family does not win the king, why don't we agree that the whole world will fight together..." Zhou Yafu said carefully: "Your Majesty, if you want to use a different surname to rule the Western Regions, you may be poisoned.
It goes against the ancestral system!”
He stood up and bowed, saying: "As the prime minister, I dare not refuse to remonstrate with you!"
Liu Che chuckled and looked at Zhou Yafu.
I said in my heart: "I say no, no, no, but my body is very honest..."
Zhou Yafu looks like this now, how can he look like he is admonishing?
If this stubborn donkey really wanted to be dissatisfied with the emperor's policies, would he still say something "against the ancestral system" in such a leisurely and leisurely manner?
I'm afraid they would have jumped up and slapped dozens of big hats on Liu Che, pretending to be 'Emperor, if you don't listen to my advice, then I will get angry...'.
And he does have the qualifications to be so arrogant.
Ping Wu Chu, support the young master. Opening the history books, the last person with similar achievements was called Zhou Gong...
Therefore, it is normal for Zhou Yafu to raise his tail occasionally.
Generally, as long as there are no big problems, Liu Che will follow his temper.
So far, the monarch and his ministers have been getting along very happily, and each has understood the other's bottom line and unacceptable issues.
And in these situations, there is absolutely no taboo of "people with different surnames cannot be kings".
Liu Che knew very well that originally, the oath Liu Bang made with his ministers that no one but the Liu family would be king was a joke in itself.
Liu Bang himself took the lead in conferring many kings with different surnames?
Even after the White Horse Oath, it remained the same, sealing off the East China Sea and South China Sea between Fujian and Yue.
Moreover, this oath was actually taken out and shouted out a few times when the emperor needed it or the ministers needed it.
Those at the top of the pyramid may not take this thing into their hearts.
For example, now, if anyone had ignored a key point in the White Horse Oath, it would have been completely destroyed by Taizong and the late Emperor.
A bunch of relatives and princes who have never led a single soldier. They accept feudalism and enjoy the country openly and wait for the country to be broken.
Liu Che had already seen through it in his previous life. The powerful and the bureaucrats will never refuse policies that are good for themselves.
Even if this policy may destroy the world!
Didn’t you see, those people in later generations who clamored to spread red flags all over the world and liberate all mankind were also playing around and created a weird system of life-long leadership and a system where leaders can be promoted but not demoted. In the end, those heroes of the Patriotic War gave up their lives.
The proletariat, who risked their lives to liberate all mankind, turned themselves into the people they once hated the most, and then watched helplessly as it came to an end.
As for the other country that has blocked words, the things written in the constitution and party politics can also be used as waste paper to wipe the butt.
The teachings of Taizu Taizong, if useful, use them; if not, throw them to Java.
Of course, those guys in the West who clamor for freedom and freedom are actually not much better.
It can only be said that they are worse than each other.
Politicians who had courage, dared to break the rules and took risks to save the country and the nation were basically all dead in that era.
Everyone is going with the flow.
Therefore, Zhou Yafu could still remember the oath Liu Bang made with his ministers, and Liu Che expressed his satisfaction.
This is already amazing!
Very responsible!
"The Prime Minister is a little too allergic..." Liu Che said: "The agreement that Gaozu made with the world was that within the Nine Provinces, the mainland of China and the barren land were not among them!"
"For example, the land of Japanese slaves in the Western Regions has poisoned other countries. It has never been heard of in China since ancient times and has no teachings from gentlemen!" Liu Che said meaningfully: "I am worried about this. Even if China takes over it and turns it into a county, I am afraid that
It is also difficult to govern. It would be better to first select gentlemen and elders from China as kings and impose etiquette and morality on them. After hundreds of years, all the people in the land will be Zhu Xia, and the writing and system used will be all Chinese, and then
It’s not too late for the county!”
"Of course I will never do anything like a king with a different surname in China!"
Zhou Yafu was really excited when he listened.
No Chinese can resist the temptation of establishing a feudal state and establishing a commonwealth.
He is the recognized saint, Duke Zhou Ji Dan, isn’t he also the Marquis of Lu?
Moreover, Zhou Yafu also heard Liu Che's hint that he or his descendants might be crowned king somewhere in the Western Regions in the future.
Not to mention Zhou Yafu, even his father Zhou Bo couldn't resist the temptation of having a different surname.
Therefore, Zhou Yafu immediately made excuses for Liu Che in his heart.
"Your Majesty is right..." Looking at the map, Zhou Yafu thought: "Whether it is the Japanese Nu Islands or the Western Regions, they are tens of thousands of miles away from China. Even if a straight road is built to connect them, from Chang'an to there,
I’m afraid it will take a year!”
"It is indeed not suitable to be governed by the county system!"
"Besides, Zong Zhou granted 800 princes to the nation, which led to today's China. Your Majesty's actions are in line with common sense!"
Zongzhou enfeoffed the vassal states.
Tai Gong governs Qi, Zhou Gong governs Lu, Zhao Gong governs Yan. Chu marquis governs Jing, and Jin governs China.
Therefore, in this vast land of China, hundreds of years later, there is not even a single Yi Di left.
The world's books share the same text, its carriages share the same track, the world is one, and all respect one master.
And this was simply unimaginable before Zongzhou feudalism!
However, Zhou Yafu also knew that he could not be persuaded by the emperor just like that.
Otherwise, if this news spreads, people in the world will think that he, the prime minister, has no principles or stance at all?
Even the princes and nobles who have benefited from it will talk about him behind his back that he is "incapable of admonishing".
Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the chopsticks and curse.
This is the nature of bureaucrats!
Therefore, Zhou Yafu bowed again and advised: "Your Majesty's concerns are certainly reasonable, but I still think that having a different surname as king may cause trouble. In the future, there may not be a hero who rises from the border. This may cause disaster to his descendants, or even bring disaster to his descendants."
For example, when King Zhuang of Chu asked the importance of the Han Dynasty tripod, he still had no idea!"
This is not a possibility. It is a certainty!
As long as the central dynasty of China declines in the future, the kings from India, Central Asia, West Asia and even the Americas will probably think in their hearts: The Liu family is probably a pill, and it is our turn to have a taste of the emperor's throne.
.
This is also the biggest difference between China and European white people.
After the collapse of Rome, the white princes of Europe immediately became independent, including France, Germany, and the Holy Roman Empire.
But in China, as long as the central dynasty collapses, the suppressed princes and kings will definitely not think about the opportunity. Let's be independent!
As long as there are people with a little ability and ambition, their idea must be that China has no owner, and the virtuous will live in it!
Then, under various banners, they mobilized armies and fleets from all over the world, crossed the mountains and seas of mountains and seas of blood, and came to China under various banners, just to reunify the country.
Therefore, Liu Che is very clear about the future world.
I am afraid that the so-called World War I and World War II will turn into a civil war in China.
The princes from all over the country went on a killing spree for the sake of becoming the emperor of China.
From the Americas, the war has been burning all the way to China.
The Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean will burn in the flames of war.
Tens of millions of lives will become the nutrients for the foundation of a new dynasty.
And after such a bloody battle, a brand new world empire will appear in this world.
From the Pacific Ocean to the Arctic Ocean, the place where the sun shines is China's territory.
Such a future is extremely possible.
But why stop it?
The change of dynasties in China is natural. If the descendants are unfilial and harm the country and the people, they deserve to step down.
For Liu Che, making China the master of the world is his goal.
What's more, such a thing will definitely not come soon. It may take hundreds of years or even thousands of years. It will not happen until the Chinese dynasty is hard to recover and all the princes from all over the world have seen the decline of the Chinese dynasty.
Just like after the Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, the princes no longer respected the Emperor of Zhou.
Before that, Emperor Liu could still dominate and issue orders for hundreds of years.
This is enough!
"Of course I know what the Prime Minister is worried about..." Liu Che replied with a smile.
"However, I believe that as long as future generations bear in mind the lessons of the previous kings, put the livelihood of the people first, take the country as the foundation, and educate the princes with benevolence, the stories of King Zhuang of Chu, Duke Heng of Qi, and Duke Wen of Jin will not repeat themselves!"
"If the result is that Jie and Zhou, Shang, Tang and Zhouwu were ordered by heaven to punish the people and punish them, in my opinion, it is also the nature of things and the principles of heaven and earth!"
Liu Che's greatest recent efforts in the ideological world have been to break the Huang-Lao faction's cognitive monopoly on the revolutions of Shang, Tang, Zhou and Wu.
The Huang-Lao faction has always held the right to interpret these two events.
He believed that although Shang, Tang and Zhou Wu were sage kings, as ministers of the emperor, when the king made mistakes, he should dissuade him instead of raising troops to rebel.
This was also a common view held by bureaucrats and aristocrats in the past.
After all, as long as everyone in the world accepts this setting, then when they return to the land of fish and meat, the people should naturally starve to death at home instead of running out to cause trouble to the world.
But Liu Che broke the tradition not long ago of the Liu emperor not taking a stand on this issue.
Especially after the incident of King Liu Piguang of Jinan, he publicly spoke out many times, praising Shang Tang, Zhou Wu and Shuntian for their glorious, great and correct actions in obeying orders and punishing the people.
By the way, Liu Bang was brought out again, praised a lot, and ranked him with Shang, Tang and Zhou Wu.
This is obviously to find a theoretical basis for him to deal with Jinan affairs.
The emperor has spoken, and of course the debate will come to an end immediately.
No one can doubt the correctness of the revolutions of Shang, Tang and Zhouwu.
But at the same time, it also brings about a problem, that is, in the future, there will probably be people who resist Liu's rule under the guise of obeying fate.
Zhou Yafu raised his head and looked at Liu Che, and he found that there was no trace of worry on the emperor's face or expression, and he even looked as if he should be taken for granted.
have to!
You, the Liu family, don’t care about you, why should I be so worried?
Liu Che looked at Zhou Yafu and made a promise: "The Prime Minister can go back and tell the generals that the Han family has never treated its meritorious officials badly. The generals only need to be loyal to the king and work hard!"
Now that Liu Che has taken out this enfeoffment carrot.
Of course, they would be brought out from time to time to seduce the ministers.
Do you want to be crowned a prince in the future, sit in charge of a country, and be called the founder?
If you want, just work hard for me, and when you conquer India, you will be rich and prosperous!
Liu Che believes that anyone with some ideas will help him complete this great undertaking!
As long as the hope of sealing the country is not dashed, the heroes, officials, and officials will not be held back.
Of course, if it was like Yang Guang's attack on Goguryeo, which failed once, twice, and three times, wasting people and money, and embarrassing people, then don't blame the nobles and civil servants for changing ships.
Before that, basically, most of the noble generals would have the energy and motivation to support Liu Che's great cause.
…………………………
After sending Zhou Yafu away, Ji An, who had been following Liu Che, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Your Majesty really wants to entrust the Japanese slaves to the Western Region. Is it poisonous for you?" Ji An lowered his head and said, "Please forgive me for my ignorance. I think this is not the work of the Ming Lord!"
After experiencing the Wu-Chu Rebellion, the enfeoffment system gradually became a cancer in the eyes of the world's public opinion.
Ideological and cultural circles, regardless of faction, had no favorable impression of enfeoffment, and even regarded it as the source of all evil.
Counties should be the direction of future development.
Therefore, even Chao Cuo's reputation has improved a lot under this background.
Liu Che naturally knew this. He nodded and said to Ji An, "Why don't I know that enfeoffment brings endless disasters?"
"It's just that you think everyone in this world is public-minded?"
"Even Duke Zhou has some selfish desires..."
"Every bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit!"
"If I don't divide the meritorious officials among them, and promise the country, how can I get the help of heroes from all over the world?"
"The enfeoffment is the result of the victory of Emperor Gaozu in order to gain control of the world!" Liu Che said to Ji An: "If I want to achieve extraordinary achievements, I have to take extraordinary measures!"
When Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Liu Bang was able to defeat Xiang Yu. The biggest reason was that Liu Bang had many friends, while Xiang Yu was faced with enemies from both sides and could not take care of both the head and the tail.
The main reason for this is that Liu Bang was very generous and made promises everywhere, promising to defeat Xiang Yu, so that the brothers could enjoy life together and dominate the world.
Xiang Yu was so stingy that even his close confidant Lu Matong refused to seal him, and Han Xin refused to use him in his account.
Therefore, Xiang Yu's tragedy is naturally inevitable.
Even if he can defeat Liu Bang, he will be overthrown by Zhang Bang.
Isn't it that everyone follows the boss to conquer the world for the sake of glory, wealth, and a wife and cute children?
By the same token, now, Liu Che wants to establish a great cause and conquer the world.
Then, the ministers under your command must appease and win over them.
There is no better tactic to win over than sealing.
Do you really think that if the emperor shouts a few slogans, the ministers and generals below will go all out?
Are you kidding me?
What bureaucrats are best at is working hard!
If there is no benefit or motivation, people will be too lazy to dedicate their youth to their descendants for the emperor's wishes!
I can only promise the future Western Region, Shendu, to everyone.
In this way, this war will not be fought for the Liu family, but for the big guys.
Of course you will be the most concerned about your own affairs!
After such an incident, Liu Che believed that not only the nobles but also the civil servants would be unable to bear it any longer.
Among the princes of Zongzhou, there are many civil servants who have been granted titles!
Liu Che raised his eyes and smiled at Ji An: "You just have to work hard. I will never forget your achievements in the future!"
When Ji An heard this, his little heart jumped unsatisfactorily.
Who can resist the temptation of being a loner?
