Chapter 468

Changle Palace.

In the side hall, there was only one swaying oil lamp shining, the room was very dark, Liu Bing was already half leaning on the mat, half of the light was on his face, half bright and half dark, there was a glass of wine in front of him, "Prime Minister , you are blaming me."

Wei Ping, who was sitting in the middle of the table with his head bowed, was shocked, and immediately lowered his body and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I dare not."

Liu Bing had already drank the wine and said: "You are the leader of Jing Nan's heroes, but I am jealous of you. I was born in Kanto, and I was favored and affected Kanto, but you don't blame me. This is not right."

Wei Ping was completely speechless. He had even thought about committing suicide after leaving the palace, but he heard the emperor ask, "What's your eldest son's personality like? I've heard some bad rumors."

Wei Ping said in a trembling voice: "The eldest son of the minister is a bit irritable and impulsive. He has done a lot of wrong things, which troubled His Majesty. I will definitely discipline him strictly."

Liu Bing already heard the words and sighed slightly: "You princes of Jingnan are all loyal ministers who are rare in your life. If you hadn't served Tian Jingnan, the great Han's society might have ended with Emperor Li.

Ever since I ascended the throne, some villains have deceived me with slanderous words, saying that Jingnan’s heroes have power over the government and the public. The world only knows that there are Jingnan heroes, but they don’t know that there is an emperor. I never paid attention to it. "

Wei Ping has always known that there are people who slander the emperor, but this is the first time he heard the emperor say that he has already dealt with those people, and he bowed deeply again: "Your Majesty's kindness is so great that I will never repay you with death."

Liu Bingji went on to say: "It is my wish that loyal ministers can enjoy their old age in peace and that their offspring can continue. Your generation is fine, but what about future generations?
You are the prime minister now, so your son becomes arrogant and arrogant. You are the leader of Jing Nan's heroes, so your son doesn't even look down on the emperor's relatives. This is the root of the disaster. This is not what I want to see ah.

The Wei family was promoted by Emperor Xiaowu, and it has only existed for a few decades, and has not experienced a major decline.

Look at Yuan Cong Zhuxun. When Emperor Gao founded the country, there were hundreds of families, but only a few dozen have survived. Could it be that the Han family is unwilling to share their wealth and honor with them?
It's because the sons and heirs are too ineffective, not only have no credit, but also keep sitting.

I am grateful for your achievements and treated Wei's descendants kindly, but when you pass away, I really don't know how long I can tolerate your son.

The fathers made great achievements, and the children and grandchildren squandered willfully, and finally lost the family business. Are there still such things?
It's better to go back to Guandong. In the Hou Kingdom, I can't see it, and I don't want to take care of it. The wealth of the three generations has been obtained in this way. "

Wei Ping was very moved by what he said.

Liu Bingji said again: "I am the Son of Heaven, it is easy to give riches and honor to Liehou's family, but I can't give myself wealth and honor.

I have been thinking about it, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven who bears the mandate of heaven, and the Son of Heaven has no prestige, how can he suppress the four poles of heaven and earth?How to rule the subjects of the world?

Is this the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven who has received the Mandate of Heaven, or the Son of Heaven embraced by the feudal princes?

I have thought about it for a long time, I must be the Son of Heaven who has received the destiny, otherwise the scattered hearts of the world will not be able to unite, but should be above the princes.

Those traitors are framing you, but he is right in one sentence, that is, people in the world don't take the emperor seriously! "

Such cruel words!

Wei Ping directly kowtowed, tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, I have treated you respectfully, without the slightest resentment."

Liu Bingji said in a flat tone: "I know, otherwise why would I tell you these things in my heart?

But it is a fact that the people of the world are scattered. If the people of the world are not in harmony, does the prime minister know what will happen?

will split!
Splitting represents turmoil, bloody killing and death, and the victims are not just one family.

All the things I have done since I came to the throne are all for this one thing, that is to cheer up the authority of the emperor.

Do you understand it? "

Wei Ping didn't understand, but Luo Sheng said the same thing to him. After Liu Dan's disaster and Feng Tianjing's disaster, the prestige of the Han court center was completely lost, the sanctity of the emperor suffered a huge blow, and even the Western Regions were implicated. And the shocking barbarian incidents of Liaodong Duhufu and Lingnan Duhufu.

Hearing this, Wei Ping knew about the transportation of grain in the Guandong. The emperor was indeed hesitating, worried that there would be disasters in Guanzhong, and worried that the prestige of the imperial court would suffer another severe blow.

If there is another change of owner in Chang'an, the man's destiny can enter the countdown.

If Liu Bingji had the food, Guanzhong would be absolutely stable, at most the Guandong would be separated from morality. Now that he transported the food to the Guandong, he would put his throne in the hands of natural disasters, courtiers and common people.

What a difficult decision for a king!

That's why Wei Ping said that even if he risked his life, it was because he was ready to go to prison and die.

But the final result was much better than he had imagined. After all, Liu Bing was not an independent husband like Liu Dan. If Liu Dan had the character, he would definitely let the people of Kanto to fend for themselves.

Most of the resentment in Wei Ping's heart dissipated, this time he bowed sincerely: "Your Majesty has a kind heart, and I congratulate all the subjects of the world."

Yes.

Liu Bing is already very kind-hearted, which means that in this world with a good moral bottom line, if the Han Dynasty in the previous life had experienced many mean and ungrateful film emperors and heroes like Jing Nan, none of them would Being able to survive is like the five dragon kings of the Tang Dynasty, all of whom are killed is the end.

Liu Bingji said softly: "The prime minister will convey my thoughts to the heroes of the princes, and don't let the heroes and the court be divorced. This is what I hope."

Wei Ping kowtowed and left the hall. When he got out of the hall, he felt covered in cold sweat. Thinking about what was said in the hall, his worries gradually disappeared, just like what Young Master Sheng said.

"The emperor didn't want to liquidate the heroes, but he sat in that position, and he would definitely do some things."

But as long as the emperor himself has no ill will towards Jing Nan's hero, then Wei Ping will have nothing to fear.

Liu Bing had already looked at Wei Ping's leaving figure, and whispered to himself, "Tai Shi Ling has written it all down."

Sima Qian walked out from behind the pillars, holding a pen in one hand and a book in the other, bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, without missing a single word."

Liu Bing already asked: "The Taishi ordered the history, what is the criterion for likes and dislikes?"

Sima Qian replied: "Take King Su's likes and dislikes as his likes and dislikes, and take "Luogong Spring and Autumn Annals" as the standard, with subtle words and big righteousness, one word of praise and criticism, right and wrong, remember it, write it down, don't change it, and leave it to future generations."

Liu Bingji asked again: "When is the history of Zhaozhao Qingzhang?"

Sima Qian replied: "The history of people's death is written."

Liu Bing nodded his head, indicating that he knew and would not ask any more questions.

……

After only a few days of talking between the monarch and his ministers, Wei Ping submitted a memorial to beg for bones. Liu Bing naturally couldn't agree directly, and Wei Ping would lose face, so he issued an edict to persuade him to stay, and Wei Ping explained his reasons again. Only then did Liu Bingji agree to Wei Ping's performance.

The next day.

A decree came out: "In the 15th year of Emperor Li Yuanzheng, the heroes of Jing Nan raised the country and made great contributions to the country. Today, Guanzhong gradually prospers, and the refugees from the Guandong gradually return home. The disaster caused by Emperor Li gradually disappeared.

Now that the prime minister is about to leave me, I looked around and found that the heroes of the past are no longer by my side. This must be because my virtue is not enough, and it must be because the rewards I have given are too few.

Emperor Gao gave Yuan Cong Zhuxun kindness, so there is today.

Now, I want to announce to the world that the princes and kings who participated in Jingnan can continue their kingdom for one more generation, and the records of county guards who participated in Jingnan are top-notch. The heirs of loyal ministers are scholars.

Liehou's Hou Guo will increase the number of food towns from [-] to [-] households. I want to make an oath.

Even if the majestic mountains disappear, even if the torrential rivers dry up, let your country and dynasty stay together until the time of perishing, let your descendants continue, and your feudal kingdom will not be abolished. "

Liu Bingji either doesn't do it, or does it to the end. Once he decides not to liquidate Jing Nan's heroes, he must dispel their wariness.

This is an unprecedented large-scale coin dumping, especially the case of Jiashiyi is really outrageous, and almost 20 households are about to be sealed off.

Exchanging power for wealth is the same as releasing military power with a glass of wine.

The effect was very remarkable, the previous sinister atmosphere basically dissipated, and among the heroes who remained in Chang'an City, the previous mentality of the death of the rabbit and the fox of the fox basically disappeared.

Not to mention the accompanying oath of the emperor!

The last time such an oath was made by Emperor Gao and Yuan Cong Zhuxun when the Han Dynasty founded the country, now the emperor has made the oath again.

This edict went to the world, spread to all places in Hexi, and calmed the hearts of the people here.

It spread to the Kanto, and then spread to various states and counties in a turbulent manner. Most of the princes who returned to the Kanto early finally let go of their hearts. The matter of Jingnan is completely over with the current emperor.

Lu Chan, who had been staying in Jimo all the time, finished reading the letter with a smile. He raised the water bottle in his hand and poured some water on the flowers and plants, and said softly: "Grow and prosper, and I will use you to write the letter next month." Believe it."

Luo Sheng stayed in Chang'an for a long time, but he tacitly never met Liu Bing, the two of them were not from the same era.

"Emperor Gao's oath will be carried out by the fifth emperor's regent. The hundred-year nurturing has yielded the current results. Do you have a group of descendants like this in your oath?"

Luo Sheng was slightly moved.

Seeing that the matter was completely over, he decided to go back to Zhaocheng, and when he was about to leave Chang'an, Liu Bing had already looked at the city wall with the empress dowager from a distance.

Liu Bing already whispered with inexplicable meaning: "Mother, what are we doing here?"

The empress dowager narrowed her eyes slightly, "You did a good job this time, the Luo family is coming back, the emperor, you have to be prepared, whether you can become the fourth emperor to get the temple title depends on your efforts."

Liu Bingji looked at his mother in astonishment after hearing the words, his face was full of doubts.

----

In the past Yuan Dynasty, when he was honored by various honors, Gaodi swore: "Make the river like a belt, and Mount Tai like a strong mountain. The country is Yongning, and the love reaches the Miao descendants."

When it came to Jingnan, Xiaoxuan said: "The Marquis of Zhou has lived through three generations for more than a thousand years. It is still seen in history. I swear: 'Let the mountains have no edges, the rivers will be exhausted, and the kingdom will rest together, and no one will be hereditary.'"

In the beginning, it was not a matter of not wanting to consolidate its roots, but for more than a hundred years, or the branches and leaves are slightly mausoleum and decline, or the branches and leaves are flourishing and the pavilions are like covers, these are all my own merits and demerits. ——"Historical Records Chronology of Gong Hou Since Han Xing"
