When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 114 There is so much room for maneuver here!
[At this time, Taiwei Zhou Bo expressed his hope to meet Liu Heng privately. 】

[However, Liu Heng asked Song Chang to respond: If Zhou Bo wants to talk about his own private affairs, then it can be said now that the king has no private affairs, and he, the vassal king, has no secrets, and everything can be made public. 】

[Thereupon, Zhou Bo immediately knelt down and presented the emperor's jade seal to Liu Heng, saying: "A country cannot live without a king for a day", hoping that Liu Heng would take the jade seal and ascend to the throne. 】

[Of course Liu Heng did not accept it, and explained: "The matter of proclaiming himself emperor is of great importance, and we should go to his residence to discuss it, and we cannot be so hasty."
-
The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang laughed loudly: "What a good calculation."

He was not talking about Liu Heng, but Taiwei Zhou Bo.

Why does Zhou Bo want to meet Liu Heng alone?

You have a powerful minister in the capital who wants to meet with the vassal king who is weak in the capital and is about to become emperor. Who will believe that you are not trying to control the emperor and use this opportunity to gain leverage?

You know, the consequences of giving something like a jade seal to someone in public or secretly are very different.

Giving it privately will make many people take advantage of it. Where did you, a prince from a remote area, get the jade seal?

You said it was given by someone else?

Why did this Taiwei Zhou Bo give you the jade seal?
Just by your mouth?
There is so much room for maneuver here!
And his son Liu Heng obviously guessed all this?
He directly placed him under the bright sky and cleverly resolved the conspiracy from the dark. He was worthy of being his son!

There was already a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Sitting aside, Lu Zhi rolled her eyes. They had been married for many years, and she could tell what Liu Bang was thinking at just one glance. Wasn't she just proud of Liu Heng?

However, if you really have someone in your heart, can you send him to a remote area to guard the territory?

Are you afraid that you have even forgotten what he looks like?
Besides, he can have such a character mainly because he is like his mother!
She also remembered that her mother was Bo Ji. She didn't have many small thoughts. She only wanted stability in the harem. She always acted cautiously and did not fight or snatch. She only wanted to ensure stability in the harem. In this situation, Xia is still a relatively smart woman, and she doesn't make things difficult for him.

Ming Dynasty, Yongle 16th year.

Yongle Emperor Zhu Di couldn't help but think.

Indeed, no matter which dynasty it was in history, there was almost no situation where a vassal king formally ascended the throne, and most of them were rebellions.

Although he is not orthodox, many examples in the past have given this behavior a complete process.

What you do first and what you do later is clearly written in the history books!
But Emperor Wen of Han was probably the first person in the world to take this path of formally ascending the throne, but he still avoided all the ambushes and ascended the throne cleanly. This man is truly a genius!

It also left a lot of reference for many vassal kings who wanted to ascend the throne in later generations. I am afraid that many emperors will pay more attention to the vassal king in the future!
[Since there were many things that needed to be discussed, all the ministers had no choice but to follow Liu Heng to the Dai Wang's residence. 】

[After arriving, Taiwei Zhou Bo, General Chen Wu, Yushi doctor Zhang Cang and others knelt down again and offered their jade seals, hoping that Liu Heng would inherit the throne. 】

[This is the result of their joint discussion with all the ministers, princes and nobles in the court. 】

[However, Liu Heng continued to refuse, and Chen Ping and others kept persuading him. After several back and forths, Liu Heng ended with: "I dare not refuse," and successfully succeeded to the throne. 】

[With Liu Heng agreeing to succeed to the throne, his residence, food, clothing, housing and transportation must all be in accordance with the emperor's specifications. 】

[So Liu Heng checked into the Weiyang Palace that night. At the same time, Liu Heng's mind remained clear when he checked into the Imperial Palace. He was not dazzled by joy, nor was his eyes confused by the imperial power. 】【The first thing he did was to appoint Song Chang as General Wei, in charge of the Northern and Southern Army, and appointed Zhang Wu as Lang Zhongling, responsible for patrolling the palace and protecting his own safety. 】

[Subsequently, in the main hall, he began to award princes, generals, ministers, clan ministers and others to kill the Lu family and help the Han Dynasty. 】

[Indicates that he has just succeeded to the throne and is the ruler of the world. He hopes that everyone will get together and have a banquet for five days. 】

[In December, Liu Heng officially succeeded to the throne.Later, he changed Chen Ping to the prime minister of the left, the Taiwei Zhou Bo to the prime minister of the right, and the general Guan Ying to the Taiwei. 】

[The territories of Qi, Chu, and Chu that the Lu family had previously captured were returned to the two countries, and the princes and kings of different surnames who had played a great role in killing the Lu family were granted titles and various gold and land rewards. 】
-
The early years of the Han Dynasty.

It seemed that Liu Heng had been giving, but Liu Bang nodded with satisfaction.

After entering the palace, the first thing to do is to put your personal safety in your own hands.

Weiyang Palace and the Imperial Palace are the final guarantee for the emperor's personal safety. You can ignore other things. This matter must be resolved immediately and must not be delayed.

The subsequent rewards were also done extremely perfectly. They rewarded the kings with different surnames with gold, silver and land, and returned the land, which showed their attitude, gave these people reassurance, and gave them the illusion that they were still in control of them.

At the same time, he took the opportunity to announce his existence to the world and improve his reputation.

As for those personnel transfers and rewards, naturally they also include wooing them.

Lu Pheasant sighed again. If Liu Ying had Liu Heng's ability, she wouldn't have to worry so much.
-
Ming Dynasty, Hongwu period.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion: "Emperor Wen was truly grateful to these people and was still willing to do his best to stabilize the Liu family and help the country. Unfortunately, these people did not appreciate the emperor's kindness and thought that they had supported and served the dragon, so they were arrogant and arrogant. , intending to control the imperial power and bring about his own destruction!"

Many civil servants and generals present felt that their heartbeats had skipped a beat. No, no, no, the emperor didn't mean to knock the mountain to shake the tiger, right?It shouldn't be a covert reference to them, right?

So everyone knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

The little princes on the side quietly watched the tacit interaction between their father and the ministers, thoughtfully.

[Next, Liu Heng will face a new problem, which is to establish a prince. 】

[Most of the time, establishing a prince plays a very important role in the stability of each dynasty. 】

[Therefore, the Han Dynasty at this time attached great importance to establishing a prince. 】

[So many ministers wrote letters to express this matter, but Liu Heng did not agree immediately. 】

[He said: The prince's affairs are related to the foundation of the country. We should take care of it slowly and do not act rashly or delay it again and again. 】

[However, the ministers naturally refused and wrote to him every day to urge him. The foundation of a kingdom is the prince, and the kingdom is indispensable without the prince. In the end, Liu Heng still delayed for a long time before agreeing. 】
