Chapter 863: Within the Framework
Liu Fei...... No, it should be said that Liu Bang operated such a thing, what was the intention and what was the purpose, Lu Zhe could figure it out after a little thought.
Liu Bang has been active for nearly three months, and after Touman led the people to surrender, the frequency of activities has become more frequent, and he has been trying to increase the investable assets, and he has been contacting civilian ordnance manufacturers, obviously wanting to make a big move.
I have to tell the truth, if it was in a country ruled by other traversers, or if he was any emperor, Liu Bang's behavior would have been enough to die ten times or eight times, but Lu Zhe used the rules he made to trap himself.
The empire allowed the nobles to form private armies and go abroad to carve out their own territories, which was not only approved by the king but also in accordance with the provisions of the law, and Liu Bang acted within the framework of the law, and did it openly.
In fact, Lu Zhe didn't care how Liu Bang solicited sponsorship, the empire was at the peak of its military power, all countries could be peacefully annexed, hundreds of thousands of Hu people could be wiped out with the army, and he was also worried about the aristocratic rules of a courtier who was allowed by law and under surveillance?
The law allows Lu Zhe to only pay attention to who Liu Bang contacts and will not stop him, as long as he does not steal military supplies, it doesn't matter, but Liu Bang has obviously stepped on the bottom line, and he should not plan to set up a chess game to involve many princes.
In fact, no matter what was in it, or what Liu Bang asked Liu Fei to do, even if Lu Zhe was not the ruler of the empire, as long as he was the father of his son, he was unwilling to let his child get involved in any incident.
"Liu Bang's right-hand man is named Li Feng. Li Feng is a native of Zhuo County, where there is still an old mother and a younger brother, and his wife and children are in Nanling. According to investigations, he has not had any contact with his hometown since he left Zhuo County. β
"Is there a conflict between Li Feng and his mother and younger brother?"
According to investigation, Li Feng's younger brother should be the one who was conscripted into conscription, and Li Xian suddenly fell ill two days before he was conscripted. Li Feng's old mother begged Li Feng to replace his brother. β
"Did Li Xian suddenly get sick after Li Feng left?"
"No, after Li Feng left. His brother lay down for half a month. β
"Huh?"
After Li Feng left, his old mother recruited a daughter-in-law for Li Xian. At that time, the situation was that Li Feng was still single. β
I have to say that the intelligence department in charge of Yan Bi is very efficient, and only the day after Lu Zhe ordered to find out the details of Li Feng, Yan Bi was already able to give the answer that Lu Zhe wanted.
So did Yan Bi investigate after receiving the order? Definitely not. In the era when there were no airplanes, no one could travel thousands of miles in a day, let alone open a large net to conduct a thorough investigation after arriving at the location, it could only be that Yan Bi had been doing relevant intelligence collection before.
"Your Majesty, do you need to send a warning?" Yan Bi looked at the pensive Lu Zhe and asked in a very soft voice.
"Warn whom?" Lu Zhe was very unhappy in his heart. But he has to take care of the impact: "Children invite an outing, can they agree, they can refuse, and they can warn adults?" β
"After all, it is related to many princes and princesses...... Yan Bi pondered for a moment: "The private warning is that if he dares to reveal ......" His eyes were shining fiercely, and he endured it and still didn't say anything murderous.
No matter what the law is, there will be deficiencies and loopholes, and the law is also enforced by people, but if the person who made the law takes the lead in destroying it regardless of the solemnity of the law, then the law will not have any value. LΓΌ Zhe's country is a state that operates within the framework of the law. The law was to bind not only the commoners, but also the nobles and civil and military officials, and even the royal family to accept the indestructible sanctity of the law.
The state is a big family, and it has a set of rules to restrain it. Everyone does their own thing within the rules, so that not to mention absolute harmony, at least the rules can bring a sense of security, after all, the rules are the order. A family with rules and order can thrive. A family without rules and order is bound to fail.
Whether it is the royal family at the top of the pyramid, or the nobles and civil and military officials in the second echelon, they are already enjoying the benefits of the rules. It is also the one who can benefit most from the framework of the rules. They can enjoy the benefits of the rules, and if the existing rules are abandoned, it may be an opportunity for careerists, but most people will suffer.
The rules are the order, no matter whether the set of rules is good or bad, but it is better to have rules than no rules, Lu Zhe must maintain the existing rules, and of course he will not think that the rules should be permanent. However, how to adapt to the rules of the needs of the times is a matter for future generations. For their generation, it's time to be contemporary.
"There is no indication that any samurai are being mobilized, the outskirts they agreed to have been thoroughly cleared, and there are no ferocious beasts in the area." Yan Bi arched his hand: "Your Majesty, do you want to make additional arrangements?" β
It must be arranged, even if it is useless when it comes to children, it must be foolproof, Lu Zhe nodded affirmatively, and his tone was indescribably annoyed: "Liu Ji, this guy is really good at making trouble!" β
"In addition......" Yan Bi didn't want to make up his head, but he had to say: "Liu Bang repeatedly invited the ruling party, and after the ruling party refused continuously, he personally ran to the door of the ruling house to block people......"
Lu Zhe was angry: "What? β
"The ruling party talked with Liu Bang at the door for a long time, and it was a conversation in public," Yan Bi secretly glanced at Lu Zhe: "Wei Bao also went over later, and later learned that Wei Bao was not invited by Liu Bang, but in the end, Wei Bao and Liu Bang left together." β
In other words, Xiao He was doing the necessary to avoid suspicion, so he didn't let Liu Bang enter the mansion. Although it was very rude at the door of his house, Xiao He really talked to Liu Bang in front of the public, and he didn't even let the door in.
Xiao He may have been a little too cautious, but now everyone knows that the empire is about to be divided, and I don't know how many people will find the inside story of the current ruling party, let alone how many people want to have a relationship with Xiao Hetao.
In fact, even if it is not for the rationing of more resources, the people who originally had a relationship with Xiao He would definitely contact and contact more at this time, and those who had no friendship also wanted to be familiar with Xiao He.
"Wei Bao ......" Lu Zhe has some memories, it seems that in the original history, Wei Bao and Liu Bang never recognized each other, and from realizing that they became lonely friends: "Wei Bao? I heard that he had a wife, and that wife fortune teller said that it was the queen's fate? β
is talking about Bo Ji, and the reason why she appeared in the romance was to support the man who married or robbed her. The plot seems to simply express who shares a bed with her...... has been sleeping with her all the time, becoming her man, who can finally become the emperor. (The fact is that Liu Bang finally snatched Bo Ji from Wei Bao, and Liu Bang also became emperor.) οΌ
"Bo Ji?" Yan Bi was surprised and very confused: "Wei Bao's woman is the Zhang family, no, no...... Bo's? βοΌ
The Queen's Destiny? This news made Yan Bi pay great attention to it.
Lu Zhe really wanted to slap himself on the forehead, he messed up the original historical process, so the experience of all historical figures was naturally not the same as the original.
Before the restoration of the Wei State in the original history, Wei Bao had been moving back and forth between Zhao and Chu, and then encountered Bo Ji in Wu County, Chu Land.
This historical version of Lu Zhe. Wei Bao was still in chaos when he was active in Zhaodi, and he may have been to Wu County in Chudi, but it is a little uncertain whether he met Bo Ji, and it may even be that Bo Ji did not fall in love with Wei Bao.
No matter where this historical version of Bo Ji went, Bo Ji was really not by Wei Bao's side anyway. And it seems that Wei Bao in the original history was killed by Liu Bang? So in Lu Zhe's version of this history, will Wei Bao, who did not marry Bo Ji, be killed by Liu Bang? According to Wei Bao and Liu Bang again, the chance of being killed is really a bit infinite.
To tell the truth, there are really many allies who were killed by Liu Bang, and Liu Bang's success is not just about stepping on the corpse of the enemy. It is also watered with the blood of a bunch of allies, including friends. In the history of the original, Liu Bangkeng finally stood at the pinnacle of power one after another. In this historical version of Lu Zhe, Liu Bang first cheated Chen Sheng, and then successively cheated Tian Rong, Tian Jiao, and Tian Dan...... and so on. Didn't he also become a third-class baron?
Lu Zhecai didn't care whether Wei Bao would be killed or not, but the division of Wei to the South Asian subcontinent was an important part of the empire's plan to divide the country, and he would never allow anything unplanned.
"Liu Bang is eager to make a contribution, right?"
"Huh? Ah......, yes, yes. β
"There are a lot of sticks at work on the [Korean] peninsula right now. Do you know this? β
"I understand."
Lu Zhe's words were stuck.
Wei divided the South Asian subcontinent, because the South Asian subcontinent did not have the power to form a state except for the savages, and the city-states did not have the ability to block the expansion of the feudal state. Wei Ji brought tens of thousands of troops, as long as he didn't provoke Sha Ying before he had a firm foothold, then there would be basically no difficulty in gaining a firm foothold.
Sha Ying is not referring to a person's name, nor is it the name of a country, but actually a group of people with the same living habits and customs. They lived in the southern part of modern Vietnam, along the coastline as settlements, and had primitive habits and farming skills, but the fishing industry was relatively the most developed.
The Han army had already made contact with the tribes on Sha Ying's side, but this contact was not on land. If they wanted to make contact on land, the Han army would have to cross hundreds of miles of forests, and they would have to cross mountains and mountains without knowing how many rivers they would cross. The first contact between the Han army and the Sand Fireflies was on the surface of the sea, and the sailors who explored the South China Sea discovered the Sand Fireflies who were engaged in fishing in the waters of the Beibu Gulf in Xiang County.
When the Han Navy first saw those sand fireflies, the sand fireflies used rafts, bamboo rafts and other things to fish on the sea.
The Han army was elated when they found the people of Sha Firefly, and the people who were found were also jumping and jumping.
The soldiers of the Han army were happy to find something to hunt, and any newly discovered alien race was a source of imperial labor and an object of wealth that the empire could plunder.
The Sha Ying people have never seen such a huge warship as used by the Han army, they can treat the warship of the Han Navy as a creation of the gods, and then carry out their own customs, use the etiquette of jumping and jumping to show their special culture, and then when they jump and jump, they are killed by arrows shot from the warships of the Han army, or the raft and bamboo raft under their feet are sunk.
Obviously, the first contact between the aggressive Han army and the Sha Ying people was not pleasant, and it was a bloody beginning in accordance with the law of the jungle. Second Contact, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth...... Even the Han Navy doesn't know how many times of contact, and each contact is still going on under the law of the jungle, that is, one of the parties will inevitably have blood, tears and bitterness.
It was as if a group of hungry wolves had discovered delicious food, and the Han Navy's army began one hunt after another, resulting in the end that the Sha Ying people did not dare to go to the sea at all. Unable to capture the Sand Fireflies on the water, the Han Navy organized a landing, perhaps because of the small number of people and the unfamiliarity with geography...... Whatever excuses could be had, anyway, they were ambushed and bullied, and the first batch of Han troops who landed finally retreated to the ships on the sea in embarrassment.
"There is no occupation value for the time being, and the prerequisite for our army to reach the habitat of the Sand Fireflies is to find out the road conditions. Now the leading scouts of the Southern Army are still continuing to drill into the forest, and they can project troops on the sea, but the problem is that it is also an enclave after the occupation, and there are no urgently needed resources found there for the time being, so they can be put aside first. β
Lu Zhe's desire for land is naturally infinite, but it does not mean that he must bite and swallow whatever he sees immediately. The repeated expansion of the empire's territory was already a bit of a sign of indigestion, and now what was urgently needed was to digest the previous results of the war, and also deal with the enemy who had not been completely destroyed, so that he did not have time to open up a new battlefield, and there was no urgent need for the enclave that did not have priority occupation.
"Let Liu Bang choose two places, either go to the peninsula to play with the stick, or go to southern Xinjiang to play with the Sha Ying people, in short, don't let him stick to the Wei State." Lu Zhe was not talking to Yan Bi, but to Kuaitong, who had just arrived.
"Hmmm! King Wei's fiefdom was in the north of the South Asian subcontinent, about 200 li away from Sha Ying's side, and 200 li full of forests and mountains, which could not be mixed together. Kuaitong didn't know why Lu Zhe deliberately arranged Liu Bang, and he wouldn't even ask why he paid attention to Liu Bang, because he came here for more important things: "Your Majesty, Wusun has sent a new envoy group, and at the same time, there are also envoys from Parthia and Bactria, and they are now blocked from Yangguan, you see?" β
Many people may not be familiar with Yangguan, but Yangguan is actually the most important pass in the northwest territory during the Han Dynasty, Yangguan is less well-known than Yumen Pass, but Yangguan is definitely closer to Central Asia than Yumen Pass.
The establishment of Yangguan by the two Han Dynasty was in the context of expelling the Huns from Mobei and intervening in the Western Regions, but the Yumen Pass was the limit that Li Tang could achieve by force.
"Wasn't it just three or four months ago? Why did they all send envoys, or did they come at the same time? "Lu Zhe counted the days, it was clear that the Wusun envoys went back to report the results and organized a new envoy, while Parthia and Bactria had a new envoy on the way before the envoys returned.
"We guess it's because of the war. Wusun is because of the threat of the Xiongnu, Parthia, Bactria and other parties," Kuaitong smiled, and his smile was a little sinister: "Parthia and Bactria want to unite us to attack Wusun. (To be continued......)
