Han Shizu

Chapter 1411 The prince guards the border
As soon as the word entrustment came out, Emperor Liu couldn't help but a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. At this time, Liu Yang, with a serious face and slightly drooping eyelids, seemed a little afraid to face himself, and suddenly realized that he, the prince, was in the political arena. is still sensitive enough.

Looking at Liu Yang, Emperor Liu crossed his legs, changed his posture, and said calmly, "What do you think?"

Hearing this, Liu Yang's expression became more and more serious. He thought carefully for a while, and then raised his eyes to meet Emperor Liu's gaze, and said solemnly: "The Han Dynasty has too much jurisdiction. Except for Kyushu, the imperial court's rule is not secure in most areas. , needs to be appeased and naturalized, and it does not happen overnight. It needs continuous operation before it can become the permanent territory of the Han Dynasty.

If the brothers guard the frontier and stabilize the people, they represent both the imperial court and the family of heaven, which can have the effect of consolidating order.Son, no comments! "

Hearing his words, Emperor Liu couldn't help laughing out loud, but his expression was a bit elusive.Liu Yang's words were heard in his ears, but Emperor Liu felt some complicated emotions.

The words were very sincere, but they laid an ambush, emphasizing the lower Kyushu China in a slight way. Although they didn't say it explicitly, the attitude pointed to it clearly, that is, even if there is a division of feudalism, the basic land of Kyushu's homeland cannot be moved.

Looking at him, Emperor Liu sighed: "For the past six months, I have been thinking about how to maintain this huge empire, how to consolidate this vast territory. After careful consideration and repeated consideration, it is difficult to come up with a perfect strategy. Unless you give up Some tasteless territory, completely shrunk."

Speaking of this, Emperor Liu himself felt a little ridiculous. How could he easily abandon the land he had already occupied? Otherwise, what would be the point of expanding on such a scale before.

"Right now, I'm only thinking about current matters, things within 30 to [-] years. All I think about is to consolidate the existing territory and lay a solid foundation. The border areas need to be stable and not chaotic!"

Looking at Liu Yang, Emperor Liu had a serious tone, deep eyes, and said seriously: "Consolidate the frontiers, suppress disobedient ministers, and enfeoffment is not necessary, but guarding the borders with the clan and princes is what I have come up with after thinking twice, to help the immediate future. service!"

"Having conquered such a vast territory and established such a huge empire, people are always needed to be stationed. Over the years, the imperial court has never sent fewer officials, generals, and soldiers to the border areas, and has never neglected them, but I have always been uneasy in my heart!
I have always felt that it is difficult to call it comprehensive, but now, I understand more and more, this world belongs to my Liu family, and my Liu family needs to guard and consolidate it, so I can rest assured!
It's not that I don't trust foreign ministers, it's just that"

Emperor Liu didn't continue talking, instead, his brows were furrowed, probably because he also felt that his thoughts were still somewhat one-sided and not really a comprehensive strategy.

However, as he said, what he really considers is to solve the current problems. As for the future, he really can't worry too much. Even if he really has that consideration, it is difficult to exert a strong influence.

After all, how long he can live is a question, and it's really not his turn to worry too much about affairs after a hundred years.What's more, when the old problems were solved, new contradictions also emerged, and the affairs continued to develop like this. Emperor Liu had a clear understanding of this. On this basis, he really couldn't think of a perfect solution.

This is also the limitation of the times, and it is also something that Emperor Liu really feels helpless. For an emperor, the cycle of history is a heavy and cruel topic.

Emperor Liu has established and ruled this era and created a series of brilliance. However, he was deeply trapped in this era, assimilated by it, and could not escape. The Han Empire he established would also be difficult to escape. It's just a castle in the air. Knowing this, Emperor Liu will inevitably feel sad sometimes.

Therefore, in the end, what Emperor Liu considered was only the urgent needs of the moment, trying to lay a solid foundation for future generations. As for the future, he also had no intention of doing anything in the future.

But listening to Emperor Liu's words, Liu Yang was secretly relieved, at least Emperor Liu's consideration was still within his acceptable range.Under the leadership of Emperor Liu, he was of course a history student. When he mentioned enfeoffment, he naturally thought of the counties of Han and the kings of Jin. For a unified empire, this is obviously worth thinking twice.

Compared with foreign ministers, clan princes are certainly more trustworthy. The close blood connection is natural, but at the same time, it is easy to breed ambitions. Putting on the luxurious coat of the Tianjia and its sufficient power, what will happen? Such consequences, even if Liu Yang thinks he is stupid, can't understand at all.

However, history is like this, and it is always reasonable for future generations to ignore it.

Fortunately, what Emperor Liu considered was only guarding the border, and he didn't intend to enfeoff in the land of Kyushu. He didn't even mention enfeoffment, and just used a "prince guarding the border" to explain it.

If this is the case, from Liu Yang's standpoint, as long as he firmly occupies the basic territory of Kyushu and has the righteousness of the central government, he will not be in trouble.At the same time, if all the brothers were stationed in the border area, the impact on his status as prince would be greatly reduced. Liu Yang also thought of this.

The father and son had their own thoughts, and they were silent for a while, and the serious atmosphere seemed to become more dignified in the silence.
Finally, Liu Yang took the initiative to speak, cupped his hands and said: "Father, I understand your consideration. In order to consolidate the border soil, I have no objection and will fully support it. It's just..."

"Speak up if you have something to say, don't have to hesitate!" Seeing this, Emperor Liu said directly: "Tonight, you and my father and son can be regarded as heart-to-heart, speaking frankly, what should be said, what should not be said, there is no reservation, and you don't need to have any What scruples!"

"Yes!" Looking at Emperor Liu, Liu Yang said: "You want to defend the border with the prince, but the frontier is so remote, bitter and cold, barren and simple, if it is too difficult for them to defend with brothers !"

Hearing his words, Emperor Liu immediately waved his hand, regained his previous strength, and said, "Bitter? No matter how hard it is, you can survive the founding of the country and start a business. They have never experienced the hardships and thorns. They have enjoyed the wealth and glory for so many years. Make their contribution to the big man.

I have carefully cultivated you brothers all these years, not to raise a batch of rice worms.I have also told your mother before that the prince is not only my son, but also the subjects of the great man, the pillars of the court, the government, the establishment of the business, and the defense of the border. You should all play your part for the court!What Tianjia brings to you is not only wealth and glory, but also responsibilities and missions! "

"Father's teaching, I will keep it in my heart, and I must encourage it!" Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Liu Yang immediately said sincerely.

However, there was something strange in my heart.Emperor Liu's idea was good. With his strength, the princes did not dare to resist, but it is obviously impossible for them to submit to the border guards if they are happy.

If it is a prosperous place in the interior, they may be willing to accept it if they are allowed to guard it, but who would be willing to go to a humble place? Guarding the border is not an easy job. The princes were also deeply touched by the ice and snow trip in Hexi.If it were Liu Yang, if he wasn't the prince, he wouldn't dare to guarantee that he would have that kind of generosity and selfless dedication.

On the other hand, among the princes, everyone has their own strengths, but not all of them have the ability to shoulder the responsibility of guarding the border. land, it is not necessarily stability, but disaster.
Even Emperor Liu has a heart to love his son, not to mention those women in the harem, if Emperor Liu is soft-hearted in the future, can this policy be implemented in a practical way?

The uncertainty is simply too great.

As for these doubts, Liu Yang at this time only dared to think secretly in his heart, and did not dare to speak out directly.Emperor Liu spoke nicely, allowing him to express his heart without reservation, but he grew up under the care of Emperor Liu, and he knew a lot about Emperor Liu. Really fully reveal your heart to this fearsome imperial father?
Of course, the idea of ​​the prince guarding the border is not without positive significance. As far as the current situation is concerned, it can indeed solve some problems. Coupled with the policy of pacifying the barbarians to be implemented by the imperial court, it can promote the stability and peace of the border areas, and also It can strengthen the influence of Tianjia on the place, and it is more meaningful for digesting and consolidating the existing territory.

At least, during Emperor Liu's reign, he can be regarded safely!
And Emperor Liu may still have a simple idea, that is, the meat is rotten in the pot. Whether it is the Liu family or the Han family, don't let the Chinese territory be reduced to barbarians. .
