Han Shizu

Chapter 963
In front of the Han Palace, a young man waited peacefully, but judging from his wandering behavior, his heart was not very peaceful, and he looked into the palace gate from time to time.Until, a figure walked out from the palace gate, and when he saw it, his face suddenly turned from worry to joy.

This young man is Liu Shaoji, the adopted son of Liu Congxiao, the Jiedu Envoy of Pinghai, who was appointed as the envoy of Pinghai Jieyuan.

The one who left the palace was of course Liu Congxiao, who had just paid homage to the emperor, and hurried up to greet him: "Father!"

Liu Shaoji is both an adopted son and a nephew to Liu Congxiao.He is the son of Liu Congxiao's younger brother Liu Congyuan, and he succeeded him because Liu Congxiao had no son.If there is no accident, this Liu Shaoji will be the heir of the Liu family.

"Isn't there an arrangement? Why are you waiting here?" Looking at Liu Shaoji, Liu Congxiao asked.

Liu Shaoji replied: "My son is worried, so I am here!"

Seeing his tense performance, he felt relaxed and said, "I'm going to meet the emperor and offer a generous gift, so why worry?"

Noticing his father's expression and feeling at ease, Liu Shaoji immediately asked, "What about the unknown situation?"

Regarding the purpose of Liu Congxiao's audience, Liu Shaoji is naturally clear, that's right, it is Natu, and he intends to dedicate the land and people of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou under Liu's jurisdiction to the court, and he will rule the Han from then on.

The father and son talked while walking, and Liu Congxiao said: "The emperor didn't directly agree, let me go back to the next place first, and wait for his reply!"

Hearing this, Liu Shaoji was slightly stunned, a little surprised: "Could it be that the Son of Heaven is not interested in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou?"

"How can you not be tempted? Today's son is a very promising king who must do great unification. How can I not be happy when I take the initiative to offer soil?" Liu Congxiao said.

"Then why not accept it?" Liu Shaoji was puzzled.

Looking at his adopted son, Liu Congxiao sighed in his heart. After all, he was still too young, and said in his mouth: "It's not that I don't accept it, but I still need to think about it! This is also the place where the emperor is wise and calm. The Quan and Zhang areas are small and surrounded by three sides. The power, and the territory under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, have never had a border! If you accept it directly, I am afraid that it will cause changes in the situation in the south. For the imperial court, which has fought wars before, it does not want to add complications!"

Listening to his explanation, Liu Shaoji was thoughtful and asked a question: "If this is the case, why does my father insist on donating the land?"

This is probably political wisdom.Liu Congxiao did not hesitate to train future generations, saying: "The general trend of the world has long been in the Han Dynasty. After the great victory in the Northern Liao Expedition, the unified situation is already irreversible. Even if there are twists and turns, it will not harm the overall situation.

Since ancient times, the north has been unified, how can Jiangnan survive alone.For example, Eastern Wu could not resist the Western Jin Dynasty, and Southern Chen could not resist Yang Sui. What's more, the Jiangnan countries that are now divided into fragments are the opponents of the Han Dynasty, which ruled Sichuan and Shu and controlled Jinghu in the middle?
As for Quanzhang, a small land, sooner or later it will be annexed by the imperial court, so how can there be any extravagant desire for a separate regime?Since it is a matter of sooner or later, it should be sooner rather than later!Regardless of whether the court accepts it or not, at least let the emperor understand my Liu family's intentions! "

Liu Congxiao's remarks can be said to be very insightful, and he can see things more thoroughly.It is also after the demise of Fujian, during the years when Quanzhang was separated, I read a lot of books.As for these, it was difficult for Liu Shaoji to understand for a while.

After getting out of the imperial city, Liu Shaoji couldn't help but say after getting in the car, "Father, have you really decided to donate the land?"

Hearing the strangeness in his words, she sat upright and looked at him: "Why, can't bear it?"

"After all, Quanzhang is the foundation you just established despite the wind and rain, and you have worked hard to manage it. Only now can you have today's well-being, so you can dedicate it to the imperial court." Liu Shaoji said in a complicated tone.

Hearing this, Liu Congxiao smiled at first, then gradually became serious, and said: "I belong to the Liu family, and my blood is weak. In the future, you brothers will be the only ones who will inherit the family business. The two states of Quanzhang and Zhangzhou can be promoted. Capital, the lintel of the family is glorious, and the family is prosperous. However, if you regard it as private property and have improper delusions, you will suffer disaster in the future.

There is one thing you should keep in mind, no matter whether the court accepts it or not, you should be obedient and submit to the court. Then, with the merit of offering soil, the court should also treat my Liu family favorably and keep my family prosperous. "

Seeing Liu Congxiao's serious words, Liu Shaoji didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately responded with his arms folded: "You must remember!"

The description relaxed again, and Liu Congxiao chuckled again: "The strength of the Wuyue Kingdom is much stronger than that of the original Min Kingdom. When the Jianghuai River was in full swing, it was hard to destroy it. However, since Qian Miao's period, no matter how the Central Plains Changing and changing, always obeying and serving carefully. It is even more thorough for the current king of Wuyue.

What do you think, but Qian knows that the trend of unification is established, relying on Wu Yue, it is difficult to resist the general trend, if you go against the current, you will eventually be destroyed!If Wang Shi went south in the future to flatten the south of the Yangtze River, how could Wu Yue resist?

Although Quanzhang is small, if my Liu family is the first to advocate offering soil to return to the dynasty, the significance of this is extraordinary! "

When he said this, there was a cunning look on Liu Congxiao's old face.The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said playfully: "I'm curious now, once the news of the land offering spreads, how will Wu Yue react?"

In the original history, although Zhangquan offered land, it was nearly 20 years later. Moreover, the Southern Han Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty were destroyed one after another, leaving only the scraps of Zhangquan and Wuyue in the world. It's just for Zhao Guangyi's reputation.

However, in the era of Liu Chengyou, the context of the times has deviated. After more than ten years, the overall historical situation has completely collapsed, the unification process has accelerated, and a great victory in the Northern Expedition shocked the world.It is not surprising that Liu Congxiao has such an active will.

In the palace, Han Emperor Liu Chengyou was also considering this matter.As for his attitude, he was both relieved and troubled.I am glad that Liu Cong has this awareness of efficiency. As for the headache, it is just like what happened in Tang and Guangdong. What he wants right now is stability and tranquility, and no disturbances.

However, the reality is that there are constant waves.Even if his original intentions were good to stay with Xiao, his contribution was really not at the right time.

Of course, Liu Chengyou is also clear about what can be seen from the performance.As the saying goes, it is easy to accept the donated land, but it is an enclave after all. If you want to fully take over the military administration of Erzhou in a short period of time and turn it into a Han territory for jurisdiction, you can't just rely on words.At the same time, the reactions of Nantang, Nanyue, and Wuyue also need to be considered, although their reactions are not important.

In the early years, the Han Dynasty also had an enclave, Lizhou, but at that time it was backed by Jingnan, which was not far from the Han Dynasty. The situation in Quanzhang was not the same, it could fly far away.

On the other hand, considering the black spots in the belly, Quanzhang is a small place, even if it is not offered, will it be difficult for the big man to take it in the future?If it is accepted in its entirety, more consideration should be given to the feelings of those with vested interests. How can it be more thorough to use force?
However, Liu Chengyou still recognizes Liu Congxiao's clever and current affairs performance, which is worthy of praise.

As for whether to accept or not, after discussing with the summoned Wei Renpu, Liu Chengyou decided to keep the status quo for the time being.Calling a servant, Liu Chengyou ordered: "Isn't there still some of the things I brought back? Tell me to go down and pick a few, and give them to Ping Haijun Jiedu to follow!"

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou said to Wei Renpu: "Wei Qing, although Quanzhou and Zhangzhou are not accepted for the time being, the imperial court can appoint a few cadres to stay with Xiaonangui to take office. First, get familiar with some folk customs and government affairs! On this matter, Your Majesty You can make some arrangements!"

"Yes!" Wei Renpu replied, and then hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, the appointment of officials is not within the power of a minister!"

"Oh!" Liu Chengyou's face was as usual, and said: "Then pass it on to Qing, and let the officials arrange it!"

"Yes!" Wei Renpu frowned slightly, with a serious expression.

After Wei Renpu withdrew, Liu Chengyou was still pondering over this matter, with a little smile on his lips: "If the news of Zhangquan offering soil comes out, I don't know how Qian Hongchu, Li Yiyin, and Gao Shaoji in Beijing will feel!"
