As soon as Shen Tujia's words came out, Liu De immediately felt that the cheap father twisted his body a little unnaturally, and said stupidly: "The old prime minister is alarmist, right?" ”

Chao Cuo also immediately jumped out and said: "The prime minister is too suspicious!" ”

"King Zhao! After the king of You, if it is not the mercy of the first emperor, why is he the king? At this time, Chao Cuo remembered that these princes were the barriers supported by the Han family, and he looked at Shen Tujia and said vigilantly: "At the beginning, the king of Qi mourned the heir, the first emperor had mercy, and made the sons of mourning the king, so that the princes of all Qi were enshrined in the temple of their ancestors, if this generation still has a little heart of the son of man, he will never dare to rebel against the court!" ”

Liu De's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he also sighed in his heart.

During the reign of Emperor Liu Dehuang's grandfather, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, in order to consolidate the central power, he strengthened his control over the princes.

So, with grace and righteousness, the princes of Qi and Zhao were enveloped.

The current Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, Liu Wei, the king of Jiaoxi, Liu Piguang, the king of Jinan, Liu Zhi, the king of Jibei, Liu Xian, the king of Zichuan, and Liu Xiongqu, the king of Jiaodong, actually do not have the conditions to be princes and kings at all.

For example, Liu Sui, his father is Liu You, the king of Zhao You, who was killed by Empress Lu, because his background is too pitiful, so he became a king of Zhao.

Liu Jianglu's brother picked up the advantage of King Qi Ai, who died after the death of King Qi Ai, according to the system, the feudal country should be abolished and divided into counties......

It was Emperor Taizong Xiaowen who made an exception to show mercy and mercy, which led to their throne and feudalism.

Therefore, most of these princes and kings are actually pro-Chang'an, and the military power in the country is also controlled by the ministers installed by the emperor of the Han family.

As a matter of fact. These vassal states were actually some of the Han Dynasty's own satellite states, which served as a buffer between Chang'an and the Kwantung princes.

That's why. When Chao Cuo came to power to promote the reduction of the feudal domain, he first took these princes who were pro-central and had little resistance to the knife.

From this point of view, Chao Cuo is a master who bullies the weak and fears the hard.

didn't dare to knife Wu Chu, only dared to do it to his own people......

…………………………………………

How could Chao Cuo not know that if Wu Chu was opposed, Qi Zhao would definitely be opposed?

It's just that he can't afford the situation where Qi, Zhao, Wu and Chu are all opposed, or he doesn't dare to face that situation.

The states of Qi, Zhao, Wu, and Chu combined had ten vassal states, plus Sanyue, the thousand-year-old younger brother of Liu Bi, the king of Wu. It is the thirteen countries, in addition, Huainan, Hengshan, and Lujiang are the same three countries. It may not be that they won't jump out to join in the fun, this is the Sixteen Kingdoms! If all of these sixteen kingdoms rebelled, it would be equivalent to nearly one-third of the Han Dynasty's territory rebelling overnight.

Once such a situation arises. Will the Son of Heaven support him to cut the domain? I can't tell.

Maybe once such a situation occurs, and even as long as he sees the possibility of such a situation, the Son of Heaven will push him out as a scapegoat, and use his head to dissipate the anger of the kings of Qi and Zhao......

After all, the Son of Heaven just wanted to strengthen the authority of the central government, but he never thought that he would have to face this situation of betrayal and separation.

"For today's plan, I can only hold on......" Chao Cuo sighed in his heart. It was only then that he discovered that his strategy of cutting the feudal domain had a fatal weakness - the attack was too wide!

If it is only for a certain line of princes. That's fine, but he was too anxious and wanted to finish his work in one battle, so he offended almost all the princes and kings.

If it weren't for the fact that Xingyang and Liang could be used as a barrier to Chang'an, then the world would probably fall into a war that would never be recovered again!

Thinking like this, Chao Cuo's mouth did not relax at all, he looked at Shen Tujia, and said: "Besides, the military power of the kings of Qi and Zhao is in the hands of the prime ministers and captains sent by the imperial court, and the ministers sent by the imperial court are all loyal ministers, even if the kings of Qi and Zhao have the intention to rebel, how can the generals and captains of their country obey their orders?" ”

Theoretically, Chao Cuo is indeed correct in saying this.

In the previous life, the rebellion attempts of the kings of Qi, Jibei, and Huainan were all sabotaged by their own courtiers, and the military power was also controlled by pro-Han ministers.

But how can there be such a simple thing?

Liu De, who has been a prince and king, knows too well what kind of loopholes exist in the supervision system of the princes and kings of the Han family, not to mention anything else, a few knife and axe hands, cut down the ministers of the domestic pro-central government, and then they can easily control the military power.

This is the case in Jiaoxi, Jiaodong, Jinan, and Zichuan.

Moreover, Liu De is now very afraid of the butterfly effect.

For example, if Zhang Shizhi had not succeeded in placing Liu An under house arrest, or if Lang Zhongling, the king of Jibei, had not put a knife on Liu Zhi's neck and forced him to close the city gates, the scale of the rebellion would have increased.

How could Liu De take such a risk?

So, he got up and bowed to the cheap father: "Father, the son has something to say!" ”

"Say it......" Liu Qi, the son of heaven, looked at his son and waved his hand.

"Erchen is young and doesn't know much about military affairs...... Liu De knelt down and said: "But Erchen heard that soldiers, major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, since ancient times, Mingjun, must be cautious to observe, yes, the ancient temple counts, not to win, first to lose, is the so-called to plan for the worst results!" ”

Liu De looked at Shen Tujia, then looked at Chao Cuo, and said: "Erchen thinks that what the internal history says is reasonable, and the prime minister's concerns are not unreasonable, therefore, Erchen implores his father and emperor to appoint a relative of the clan and a close minister, in the name of comforting the kings of Qi and Zhao, rewarding the late King of Zhao You, and mourning the king of Hui, hold your scepter, supervise the Zhao soldiers, and conduct in Xingyang, so as not to lose the face of the princes, but also to eliminate the disaster!" ”

When Liu Qi, the son of heaven, heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

That's a good idea!

In the name of rewarding people's ancestors, entering the seal and sacrificing, sending a minister over, who dares to gossip?

And a relative of the sect who holds the Son of Heaven Festival is in Xingyang, and he can immediately contact the pro-Han ministers in the kingdoms of Qi and Zhao, and he can immediately collect the military power of Qi and Zhao.

Liu De struck while the iron was hot and said: "In addition, the son of the emperor implores his father to issue an edict to push the princes of Qi and Zhao, and after he is 100 years old, all his sons will be sealed!" ”

That's the bottom of the kettle!

The kings of Qi and Zhao were originally a bunch of swinging guys, and with such a step, no matter how much they resented the court in their hearts, they could only pinch their noses and endure it.

The most important thing is that even if these people still want to rebel, his sons may not be willing to rebel!

After all, even if the rebellion succeeded and the Son of Heaven in Chang'an was overthrown, what benefits would they get?

On the contrary, if they respect Chang'an, they will be able to mix up in the future, and it is not impossible to be lucky enough to be alone!

"What Liu De said, what do you think?" The face of the Son of Heaven Liu Qi finally relaxed, and he asked the generals and ministers present with a smile.

"The old minister thinks what His Highness said is very true!" Shen Tujia was the first to agree.

"The last general also thinks that His Highness's strategy is the best!" A general came out of the ranks.

Chao Cuo thought for a while, and had to stand up and say: "Your Highness is worried, and the minister also agrees......"

After all, Liu De still gave him a step and didn't embarrass him too much.

This is the art of speaking, the same thing, Shen Tujia said it, it would endanger the root of Chao Wrong and shake his policy of cutting the domain, but Liu De could reluctantly make him accept it if he said it.

Since the ministers agreed, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said, "Then who will you send?" Do you have a candidate? ”

Liu De sat back in his position very interestingly at this time, this kind of thing is not something he can interfere with!

As a prince, it's okay to give opinions, but it would be taboo to talk about a candidate for an important minister who holds the military power of Xingyang and even Qi and Zhao! (To be continued......)
