Chapter 268

Here, Luoling got Ji Zhao's instructions to start preparing for the affairs of the Western Regions. Liu Bang gathered a group of his old brothers in Luoyang. As long as Liu Bang didn't mention the sensitive matter of changing the prince, these people would be Liu Bang's hardcore.

As the night fell, the Luoyang palace was brightly lit, countless palace people shuttled through it, and a group of meritorious officials chatted in the hall.

The most eye-catching one is of course Han Xin, not because of his high position and power, on the contrary, he is currently unemployed at home.

Liu Bang appointed him as a Taiwei, but he refused, saying that he had fought all his life and wanted to enjoy it, so he hung the title of a general for nothing, which was obviously not wanting to participate in politics.

But no one will ignore him. After Xiang Yu's death, he is now one of the soldiers and the best in the world.

Others are afraid of being idle because they can be replaced, but Han Xin is not afraid. When something goes wrong, he will be quickly reinstated and sent to the expedition.

Fan Kuai leaned forward and said with a smile: "The general is well, the Marquis of Anyang is well, a few days ago the dog was full of moon, I sent you two posts, it's a pity that you two are in poor health and couldn't come.

The sage said that accepting a great gift without thanking him is not what a gentleman should do. "

Luo Cai chuckled and said, "Marquis Wuyang, you are being polite. It is because Cai is in poor health that he was unable to go. A few gifts will be regarded as an apology. Your wife is a noble lady, and you are a rare hero. They are a match made in heaven. You and your wife are forever united."

"Marquis Ying is here!"

As the palace servants sang, Luo Cai rushed out, seeing Luo Yi walking in, she said coquettishly, "Elder brother actually came back from Guanzhong without saying a word in the letter, it's really worrying."

Luo Yi said with a smile: "Your Majesty's letter came in such a hurry. He hurried back from Guanzhong without any time to react, and then went directly to the palace. It was my brother's fault, and I will definitely apologize to Ah Cai afterwards."

Luo Cai approached and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what is Your Majesty going to do? It doesn't look like a simple feast for the ministers. There haven't been any festivals or happy events recently."

As soon as Luo Yi came back, he entered the palace. Liu Bang naturally explained many things to him. Now facing Luo Cai's inquiry, he said in a low voice: "It is indeed a major event, but it will not affect us. Back then you asked Zi Mu to resign from the throne. That's right, she really deserves to be a talented woman from the Luo family."

Luo Cai was taken aback, of course she understood what Luo Yi meant. Liu Bang was going to attack the king with a different surname. Luo Cai asked in disbelief: "Although this matter will happen sooner or later, elder brother said that the Central Plains A kingdom with such a large territory should not appear inside.

But is His Majesty so impatient?
The fact that Xiang Yu was killed by treachery has not been forgotten by the world.

Now that he is going to attack the king with a different surname, doesn't he care about his own posthumous name at all? "

The Luo family had studied it long ago, and came to the conclusion that Zhao Wei, Han Qi, and the northern part of the Chu State did not need to enshrine the kings. The income of the central dynasty’s rule on these lands was greater than the expenditure, so the Luo family supported the transfer of this part of the land by the royal court. manage.

Luo Yi smiled wryly: "Your Majesty never cared about his own reputation.

He can be regarded as the most incisive and vivid of those who make great things regardless of small details.

Moreover, His Majesty is very aware of the character of a brother, so he never made any political promises in the name of King Su and Luoshui.

When he did this, even my brother didn't know what to say. "

Needless to say the name of King Su, only those who swear sincerely will use the name of King Su, as long as there is a ghost in their hearts, they dare not use the name of King Su.

Luoshui also needless to say, Ji Zhao was sealed to the east of the tributary of Luoshui, so he established the Luo State, with Luo as his clan.

The water of Yiluo has cultivated the divine city of Luoyang. Luohou and the overlords of the past swear by the Luoshui under the witness of the Luo family that this is already a divine river.

If Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were to swear by Luoshui that day, even if Luo Ling did not witness for them, maybe Liu Bang would let Xiang Yu go temporarily because he was not sure of Luo Ling's attitude, and then find a reason to deal with Xiang Yu again.

Luo Cai has always disliked Liu Bang, and when he heard that he was even more angry with Liu Bang, he said, "Brother, Your Majesty doesn't care what Cai does.

But you are his close minister, his bad reputation will definitely affect you.

Although the historians are all our own people, we will write impartially when the time comes.

But people's hearts are complicated, and there are so many villains in the world, they will still affect you in the end. "

"His Majesty is here!"

A sudden voice interrupted everyone's conversation, and Luo Cai and Luo Yi sat down respectively.

Liu Bang and Lu Zhi came hand in hand. Lu Fei was wearing a full set of palace attire, but Liu Bang was dressed very casually, with a relaxed smile on his face.

Many people felt relieved, thinking that this was probably a banquet for His Majesty to bestow favors on his courtiers.

Sure enough, Liu Bang didn't talk about any political topics. Instead, he chatted about the past and recalled the ups and downs along the way with his officials.

Everyone was drinking and having fun in this hall, the musicians were replaced wave after wave, the dancing ladies were dancing in the hall, and the clothes were fragrant, it was really a prosperous and prosperous scene.

After drinking for an unknown amount of time, Liu Bang suddenly let out a long sigh, and Luo Yi knew that it was time for him to do it.

So he asked loudly: "Your Majesty, you are the lord of the world, the emperor of all the Han people, is there anything in this world that you can't do?

Why are you sighing, all the officials in this palace can share your worries. "

The sound of silk and bamboo gradually stopped, and the eyes of all the officials in the hall were cast over.

Liu Bang sighed: "Looking at the dynasties of Xia, there is no one that can not be destroyed, but the time gap of survival is completely different.

Lord Ying, your ancestors King Wu and King Su established Yaoyao State Zhou, which has been passed down for thousands of years, far surpassing the previous dynasty, let alone the Qin Dynasty. Why is this? "

The ministers were a little confused and didn't understand what Liu Bang wanted to say. Luo Yi said: "All concubines are united to defend the royal family and save the country from disasters, so there is a thousand-year destiny."

Liu Bang looked around the hall and said loudly: "Yes.

The royal family of Zhou had encountered the crisis of extinction many times, but it survived smoothly in the end.

It is because the princes surnamed Ji, such as Luo and Jin, supported the Zhou royal family.

The Zhou royal family once fell into decline, and even the princes did not pay tribute to him, but Duke Huan of Qi respected the king and expelled the barbarians, which made the Zhou royal family honorable again.

In the second decline, Jin Wengong once again supported the royal family and was able to make the royal family dignified.

When these princes surnamed Ji perished, Luo was unable to protect them, and the destiny of the Zhou royal family ended.

The world is peaceful now, will it continue to be peaceful?

Will there be people who are dissatisfied with me, or who want to betray me after a hundred years? "

That's it!

The officials immediately understood what Liu Bang wanted to do. He wanted to seal off the clan of the Liu family to ensure the stability of the Liu family.

This is the era of the family world, relying on clan relatives and relatives is what every king will do.

Liu Bang's behavior couldn't be more normal.

But the problem is that there are only so many lands under the direct control of the emperor, why did he do this?

In particular, Guanzhong is of great importance, and it is impossible to divide it.

Then only Zhao Di and Chu Di were left vacant. At first, they wanted to give Han Envelope the title of King Zhao, but he refused. After Xiang Yu died, King Chu also became vacant.

These two thrones are very important. Whether it is Zhao State or Chu State, they are both powerful countries. Although Liu Bang can't control these two places now, once they are entrusted, they are like poured water, and they want to get them back. It is difficult.

This throne will definitely not be given to the prince, it will be granted to other princes.

hiss!
The ministers just felt a shudder down their backs, Liu Bang couldn't be thinking about changing the prince, isn't Feng Wang just an upright cultivation of power?

Everyone secretly watched Lu Zhi's expression, but they didn't expect Lu Zhi to sit quietly without saying a word, which made the officials a little puzzled.

In fact, Lu Zhi also believed that Liu Bang was using two birds with one stone to cultivate Liu Ruyi's power by punishing kings with different surnames, thereby suppressing Lu's power.

But Lu Zhi's current level is extremely high, and she doesn't think Liu Bang can do it at all. From top to bottom, they are either my people or people who support the eldest son.

Don't look at Liu Ying as just a child, but his plumpness is comparable to that of Liu Bang.

Unless he doesn't want this world anymore.

Lu Zhi has seen through Liu Bang, and any favors are false, as long as Liu Bang finds that changing the prince is not worth the gain to the Han Dynasty, he will stop immediately.

Eliminating the king with a different surname is also what Lu Zhi wanted to do, so she let Liu Bang's behavior.

At this moment, the servant suddenly hurried in and whispered something in Liu Bang's ear. Everyone who was paying attention to Liu Bang saw the expression on Liu Bang's face gradually turned cold.

"hateful!"

Liu Bang suddenly shouted angrily, and even threw the wine glass in his hand. Everyone in the hall was startled, and then he heard Liu Bang angrily say: "The King of Yan is worried that I will liquidate him because of his surrender to Xiang Yu, and even conspired to rebel. What a wolf of Zhongshan, who doesn't know kindness."

King Yan was forced by Han Xin to surrender, but after recovering, he found that Yan could withstand Han Xin's attack, but it was too late, so he led the army to follow Han Xin to attack Chu. Liu Bang recognized this reality and re-entrusted Yan Guo to him.

As soon as Liu Bang's words came out, the crowd in the hall was immediately excited and rebellious. Xiang Yu experienced this at the beginning. Will the Han Dynasty also experience this now?

Want to overthrow the Han Dynasty before the fiefdom you just got is warm?

Regardless of whether you are really rebellious or not, press it first and then talk, this is the unanimous mentality of all the officials.

----

After the establishment of the Han Empire, according to Chinese political tradition, the emperor of the empire tried to firmly control the power in the hands of his own family, so he inevitably went to war with those kings who were actually independent. Most of the marquis strongly supported the emperor's war plan. In front of these battle-hardened generals, the kings were quickly defeated. This war had a huge historical impact, namely: kings outside the royal family, became a political outlier. ——"Global History · Ancient China"

 I synthesized the stories of many famous generals from the history books and arranged them for the second son of the Luo family. Liu Bang's time is not long, so you should be able to tell.
