"Your Majesty respectfully greets Your Majesty's ......"

Zhou Yafu took a large number of generals, all of whom were armoured, with swords at their waists, and bowed slightly to Liu Che.

"The prime minister and the generals were here, what happened?" Liu Che knocked on the case, and asked deliberately in confusion.

In the past year or two, under Liu Che's explicit or implicit encouragement, the martial arts clique of the Han dynasty has been soaring toward the broad road of militarism and imperialism.

Now, the once powerful voice of appeasement and peace has almost disappeared from the military clique.

Especially after the opening of Wuyuan, hundreds of middle and high-ranking military officers from all over the world entered Wuyuan for further study.

These people were basically transferred to Chang'an from the Great Wall defense line and the northern counties.

Their families and hometowns have long been under the threat of Xiongnu invasion in the past, and in the past few decades, almost every household has been killed or wounded in the war with the Xiongnu.

Naturally, their attitude towards the Xiongnu can be imagined.

These people are the most staunch main battle faction of the Han family.

When they came to Chang'an and entered the martial arts garden, their voice and strength were immediately multiplied.

No one can ignore their demands and claims anymore.

Even if it was the Lord and the faction of the Holy Mother, in the face of the cries of these captains from the northern counties, they could only pinch their noses and help them wave their flags and shout.

Because, whoever dares to act against them is tantamount to working against the northern military generals and landlords, and is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of the people, and any political force or academic thought. Once spurned by all the people, the people will naturally vote with their feet. Let them get out of power and fuck off.

Even the state and the emperor did not dare to go against the will of the people and the voice of the people.

This is also the trick that militarism and imperialism are best at—using public opinion to coerce ideology and politics.

Not with us. We'll let you go with the Emperor......

If it weren't for the fact that there was still a Taixue literati who were balancing these generals, now, above the court, every time the court held a meeting, the first topic would inevitably be - the revenge of Xianggong Fu IX, the Spring and Autumn Period, when will Your Majesty repay the revenge of Gaozu, Empress Lu, and Taizong?

But even the students and literati doctors who are too academic are basically the main battle faction.

It's just that they are relative to military generals. Slightly gentler.

I also want to talk about 'Yidi has never had a way, so since ancient times, kings have been righteous and killed'.

What they mean is that the battle will still be fought, but how it will be fought will still have to be arranged by the scholars and doctors who have strategized and won thousands of miles. Hit wherever you want, don't beep.

Even the few remaining peace people and Our Lady dare not say that 'world peace is the most important', so they can only talk about convincing people with virtue. Serve far with righteousness.

He advocated that we should not fight an unjust war, but should 'rejuvenate the king and fight the unjust'.

In such a situation, the world of public opinion and the world of thought. Naturally, 'those who know the times are handsome', and honestly join in advocating the benefits and benefits of war.

"Your Majesty. The ministers heard that the month before was hard. In Meiling City, Changsha State, there were South Vietnamese soldiers who brazenly entered and killed more than a dozen of our businessmen! Zhou Yafu raised his head and said to Liu Che with righteousness and awe: "Such a great rebellion, ignoring the atrocities of His Majesty's Jiazi edict, has shocked the people of the world, although the ministers are ignorant and do not reach the great righteousness, and they do not know the meaning of the "poem" and "book", however, they are also filled with righteous indignation, and I implore Your Majesty to investigate this matter!" Avenge the innocent victims! ”

The general Dou Ying immediately led the generals of the military to bow respectfully and pleaded: "The ministers implore Your Majesty to avenge the innocent victims!" ”

Liu Che looked at the generals with their heads bowed, bowed over, red faces and red ears, and excited.

I smiled a little smugly in my heart.

Since he ascended the throne, he has said anything that he is most proud of.

There is no doubt that on the basis of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, the concept that the emperor is ordered by heaven to protect the people of China has been further clarified.

The concept is not very advanced.

More than 1,000 years ago, during the Yin Shang period, there was a similar discussion.

The so-called 'Son of Heaven is the father and mother of the people, and he thinks that he is the king of the world'.

But for a long time, this was just a slogan, just shouting, and no one took it seriously.

Until the reign of Liu Che's grandfather, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, the Son of Heaven was the first to put forward the slogan of 'the world is in chaos, in my own person', and from the old 'the Son of Heaven is the parent of the people, thinking that he is the king of the world', he further proposed 'born to steam the people, for them to be the king to raise them. ’

For the first time, there are examples in Chinese history of the emperor who no longer only have power, but do not bear duties and responsibilities.

This is only one step away from the emperor's announcement that I am the protector of the people, and whoever moves my people, I will cut off his limbs.

After Liu Che came to power, he took this last step through the Jiazi edict.

The fact that the emperor, as the lord of the world, had the duty to protect his people. And with the corpse of Wei Manchu, it proved the will and determination of the emperor and the country.

Since then, public opinion and thought have adjusted themselves around Liu Che's expression.

Confucianism reacted the fastest, and soon brought Mencius out, and a people-oriented faction based on the ideas of the Simeng school appeared.

Now, no matter what you think, at least on the bright side, there are hundreds of schools, and no one dares to do cruel things inside and outside.

Anyone who dares to say that China should be patient, give Yidi benefits, and exchange peace will immediately be sprayed half-naked by countless big trolls.

Such a change, in Liu Che's view, is no less than a great progress in the invention of the steam engine.

From now on, the Liu royal family can hang the title of 'protector of the people of the world' on their chests, and any future emperor must follow the path he has opened up.

At least on the surface, the public opinion of the government and the opposition and the country's decision-making should take into account Liu Che's statement.

This is the same as ****, no matter how many bosses are changed, no one dares to discard the ideological theories of Taizu and Taizong.

Even if you don't like it anymore. You have to offer these two as god cards.

Every time I have a meeting, I have to follow Taizu's thoughts. The great road of Taizong's theory is victoriously advancing'.

That's enough.

Now, the performance of Zhou Yafu and the generals. It is the result of the changes in public opinion and thinking after the Jiazi edict.

If you want to change a few years ago, not to mention that Nanyue killed more than a dozen merchants, it was he who invaded the land of the Han Dynasty and killed the border people, I am afraid that the first thing the courtiers thought of was not to come to Liu Che with murderous spirit to ask for revenge and send troops.

At most, if they die, someone will propose to send a messenger to admonish him.

The South Vietnamese obediently withdrew their troops, relented, and admitted their mistakes. That's the end of it.

Unless the emperor asked for it, otherwise, with the urine nature of the bureaucracy, they would never open their mouths on the issue of war and peace.

But after Jiazi's edict, it was different.

The emperor, as the protector of the people of the world, became politically correct.

Whoever violates the safety of the lives and property of the people of the Han family without authorization is slapping the emperor in the face.

The so-called lord humiliates the ministers to death, and the courtiers and bureaucrats must make their firm stand on this issue.

Otherwise, a 'disloyal' hat is buttoned down. Who can hold it?

Liu Che stood up, took the notes of the kings of Qilu, looked at it in his hand, and then looked at the generals led by Zhou Yafu.

This thing inside. If it weren't boring, Liu Che would dare to eat this Xuanshu Palace.

Think about it all.

The kings of Qilu, what kind of goods are they? Isn't it clear to Liu Che?

No profit can not afford to be early. It's a true portrayal of these guys.

Now and in the past, are there still fewer people who have been killed and killed by these guys?

All of a sudden. For the sake of a dozen businessmen, clamoring for books. Than there is a picture!

It's just that the report of the embroidered clothes guard has not yet come, and Liu Che doesn't know what the whole story of this matter is for the time being.

In addition, the report of the king of Changsha is still on the way.

When Liu Fa's report came, Liu Che would probably know what medicine Nanyue had taken wrong and dared to provoke the Han family.

But whatever the truth is, what's behind it.

The fact that the South Vietnamese entered the field on the border of the Han dynasty and killed a dozen merchants and injured dozens of others must have been unable to escape.

After all, it is impossible for the current Han army and bureaucrats to evolve to the level of self-writing, directing, and acting, and then using this as a pretext for war.

They are holding on to death, that is, they are imitating and learning from the old skills of the Warring States Qin Dynasty.

But Liu Che must take a stand on the matter.

Regardless of whether the South Vietnamese are justified or not, they dare to enter the Han border and kill the Han people, this is a crime! That's the crime!

No matter what the South Vietnamese have to suffer.

Liu Chedu will inevitably use this as an excuse to force and coerce South Vietnam, make further gestures of submission, and even directly start a war to recover his homeland.

"Nanyue is good at killing the people......" Liu Che cleared his throat and said: "I will never ignore it, first order Changsha State, send an envoy to Nanyue, and order Nanyue Wang Tuo to hand over the culprit immediately, and then wait for the judgment!" ”

Well, let the king of Nanyue hand over the people first, so that no matter whether it is reasonable or not, Nanyue will fall into an unrighteous tragedy.

As for when the merchant will become a 'citizen' in a grand manner.

This kind of inconsequential detail, don't care about it.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Zhou Yafu saluted and was extremely satisfied with this result.

At this moment, Zhou Yafu already has a complete set of war plans in his heart.

Regardless of whether the South Vietnamese made friends or not, the Han army, which sharpened its knives, could cross the five mountains.

Generals who are eager for military merit and have a cute wife, generals who hope to get military merit and get promoted to make a fortune, and soldiers who expect to get military merit and go home to buy land and buy real estate.

The hopes and desires of these people together played a march of war.

Even Zhou Yafu himself did not advocate war, but under the calls and demands of these people, he passively supported the war.

Because, now the situation is already obvious.

Those who do not support the war will inevitably not receive broad support.

The pavilion chiefs and lizheng served by the veterans throughout the local counties, as well as the public opinion and ideological circles who cheered for the war, shouting 'Yi Di is Ying, Jing Shu is punishment, the king Xingyi Shi is the unreasonable, saving the people, and the mandate of heaven', as well as the princes and ministers, will tear anyone who prevents them from being promoted to official positions and making a fortune, and sealing their wives and children, and stepping into the mud.

Even if Zhou Yafu is the prime minister, he knows that he can't stop the vast trend of the world!

Because Zhou Yafu understands very well that behind this incident, there is not only a military general group jumping up and down, but also a group of landlords and scholars in the south fanning the flames.

The confluence of these two forces has led to the current situation.

After sending Zhou Yafu and the generals away, Liu Che immediately called Wang Dao and ordered: "Send someone to the Qilu Wuchu region immediately to find out what is going on?" Also, order the embroidered guards to report the local situation immediately! ”

Embroidered clothes and guards are in the south, and currently only exist in major hub cities and economic hotspots.

Moreover, the lack of manpower makes it difficult to monitor the movements of the local counties, and at present, the embroidered guards are in the south, and can only report what they can see and find.

Generally public information.

But what happened in private is not something that these embroidered guards who can't enter the official office and the palace can know.

Therefore, sending eunuchs south to investigate has become Liu Che's current choice.

"No!" The king took the order to go down.

After Wang Dao left, Liu Che sat down, leaned on the soft cushions of the royal couch, and thought about it.

Liu Che had a vague premonition that behind this matter, a message was conveyed.

And this message is very likely to be closely related to the current situation and thoughts of the landlords and scholars in the world, especially in the south.

"Qilu Wu Chu ......" Liu Che looked up and looked at the map hanging on the wall.

The south, especially the vast Qilu, Wuchu and Jianghuai regions south of the Yangtze River, has been largely completely occupied by Confucianism.

Only in a few areas did the power of Confucianism prevail.

But in most places, Confucianism has been overwhelmingly dominant.

Especially in the Qilu region, Confucianism appeared in the eyes of the world as a domineering president.

The local nobles, landlords, officials, nobles, and even the royal family were all supporters of Confucianism, and if not of it, their positions were at least close to Confucianism.

A very simple example can prove this fact - the kings of Qilu, Wuchu, and Chu regions, now, except for Liu Yan, the king of Jiangdu, whose ******** is swinging and between Confucianism and Huang Lao, the other princes and kings, and the disciples of the princes, are all taught by Confucian teachers.

In these places, Confucianism and the local aristocratic landlord class, just like the military generals and landlord groups in the north, were closely linked and almost inseparable.

Of course, Confucianism was also divided into many factions.

In the Wuchu region, the main active ones are the Chu poetry faction and the ram faction.

In the Qilu region, it is the ram and the Guliang faction that are intertwined.

Now, these factions have united and advocated war.

This matter is not so simple.

Qilu Wu Chu, especially the landlords and doctors of Qilu, have always been synonymous with greed, miserliness and shamelessness.

Unprofitable has long been a true portrayal of them.

Moreover, located in the comfortable and prosperous land of the south, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, they do not have the same urgent sense of crisis and shame as the northern landlords, let alone have any sense of mission to make some contributions to the country's social and people.

The vast majority of these guys are either trying to squeeze their tenants all day long, or they are wondering what kind of gentleman's game to play today.

Now they suddenly stood up and said, "It is the responsibility of the people who rise and fall in the country."

This had to make Liu Che think of the party monument and suspect that there was some conspiracy behind it. (To be continued.) )
