Dahan first prince

Chapter 267 Generals attack Yan and make meritorious deeds

Liu Ying, who sent Wang Ling and Zhang Cang away, and stayed alone in Fengyi Palace, couldn't help but fell into a long period of contemplation.

In the past, seeing a rebellion of princes and kings, it led to the central army formed by the sons of good families in Guanzhong, and the rebel army composed of young and strong Xiangyong in the Kanto region. Definitely sooner rather than later!
Especially today's Liu Bang's status as the "founding king" and his limited life span made Liu Ying inexplicably impatient to "take time and do more with the status of the old man".

But after Wang Ling's detailed explanations, which were so deep and simple, that she even wished to break them apart and stuff them into Liu Ying's mind, Liu Ying finally realized that the Han Dynasty had appeared in history and achieved remarkable results. Why do many legal regulations such as the "Tweeting Order", "Beneficiary Law", and "Albanian Party Law" not apply to today's Han Dynasty.

If we talk about it in detail, there are many things involved in it, but if we pick the key points, it is actually a sentence of 'the background of the times is different'.

——In the historical Han Dynasty, what kind of background did this series of legal regulations, especially the "Tweeting Order", appear?

The answer to this question is of great significance to the feasibility of the "Tweet Order".

Because the "Princes of the princes, the land of the princes and the princes of the princes" pursued in the "Tweeting Order" is the undoubted "equal inheritance" model.

However, in today's Han Dynasty, from the inheritance of the emperor's position, the establishment of the crown prince, to the division of ordinary peasant households, and even the issue of "whether the descendants of slaves should be slaves", all they pursue are "inheritance by the eldest son". 'system.

In the words of later generations, it is to establish a descendant and establish an elder.

Under such circumstances, the "Tweeting Order" was launched by the emperor and the central court as the ruling class, and used on the clan princes and kings who were also at the top of the pyramid, which would obviously have a very bad impact.

As the saying goes: what is good at the top will be effective at the bottom.

When the group at the top of the pyramid starts to play "Equal Inheritance", then in the long run, ordinary people at the bottom of the pyramid will also actively or passively join in.

And when the model of "equal inheritance" becomes a universal value in the class interval of commoners-vassals and kings, which almost covers the whole world, it will inevitably have an impact on the top of the pyramid.

To put it simply, the whole world is 'sharing the inheritance', and eventually the emperor will inevitably be affected by this problem.

But it is obvious that there is no such thing as "equal distribution of inheritance" for the throne and imperial power.

So why did the "Tweeting Order" in history not cause this problem while achieving results?

The answer is: when the "Tweeting Order" in history appeared in the Han Dynasty, the rule of succession to the throne, which was dominated by the eldest son, had already been actively destroyed by the emperor...

——Firstly, Liu Heng, the fourth son of the founding emperor Liu Bang, took over his nephew, that is, the position of emperor under the buttocks of Liu Hong, the young emperor after the Han Dynasty in history. Inheritance rules of the 'primogeniture system'.

But this time, Liu Heng could barely understand it as 'there is no one in the clan, so in order to ensure the succession of the clan, he had to make up for it himself'.

However, in the short second generation after Liu Heng, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che succeeded in inheriting the throne as the "tenth son of Emperor Jing Liu Qi" plus "concubine", the last piece of the fig leaf of the "first eldest son inheritance system" has since then. ripped off.

The reason is very simple: although your grandfather Liu Heng is a concubine, but he inherited the throne, it can also be said that his brothers are all dead. For the sake of family continuation, he can only "inherit the successor as a descendant";
But you Liu Che, why?
Even if the elder brother who was abolished as the crown prince is removed, there are still eight older brothers above you, and even two descendants. You are a concubine, and you are still the "seven sons of concubine", why should you be allowed to sit on the throne?

For this question, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che naturally couldn't give an answer, and no one would really ask.

But if you don't ask, it doesn't mean that Emperor Wu Liu Che's ascension to the throne will not shake the sacred and unshakable "firstborn succession system" in the hearts of the people.

In this way, the emergence of the "Tweeting Order", a legal regulation advocating "equal distribution of inheritance", is also a matter of course.

——Because before the implementation of the "Decree of Tweeting Grace", Emperor Wu Liu Che used his own personal experience to defeat the crumbling "primogenarian inheritance system" with his own hands.

Since the Tian family and the royal family do not pay attention to the eldest son inheritance system, it is no problem to issue a decree to destroy the rule of "the eldest son inherits the throne" practiced by the princes and kings.

As for the Tian family and the clan, after they all started to play with the inheritance distribution model of 'the eldest son no longer eats all, the bastard and the youngest son can also eat soup', it is an irrelevant question whether the common people at the bottom follow up.

If the appearance and effect of the "Tweeting Order" in Emperor Wu's dynasty were due to the fact that the eldest son succession system was destroyed by the line of Liu Heng-Liu Qi-Liu Che, then the rest are like "Beneficiary Law" and "A Party Law" When the "additional regulations" appear, it will be that the princes and kings will reap melons by planting melons and reaping beans by sowing beans.

——What did the Han Dynasty experience before the "Zuoguan Order", "Benefit Law", "A Party Law" and many other legal regulations restricting the power of princes and kings appeared?
The answer is at least three times before and after, and each time the clan princes and kings rebelled, which caused a major blow to the Han Dynasty!

The first time, when Empress Lu passed away, Prime Minister Chen Ping and Taiwei Zhou Bo colluded with Qi Wang Liu Xiang (Liu Fatzi) to launch an armed coup against Lu's relatives!

This coup directly led to the extinction of Emperor Hui's line, and Liu Han's throne was inherited by the line of Liu Ying, the eldest son of Gao Zu in history, and transferred to the line of fourth son Liu Heng.

The second time was when Liu Heng, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty in history, gathered an army and was about to fight the Xiongnu, the king of Jinbei Liu Xingju (Liu Fatzi) launched a rebellion.

This rebellion caused the Han Dynasty to suffer huge losses at that time. The strategic resources accumulated over the years and the strategic advantage over the Huns were wasted. Heng, abruptly dragged on for decades before being achieved by Liu Heng's grandson Liu Che.

The third time, it will make the future generations famous.

——It happened in the early years of Emperor Jing, initiated by Wu Wang Liu Bi, mainly cooperated with Chu King Liu Wu, and participated by all the kings of Qi!
In this rebellion, the Liu Han regime was tested several times before finally winning with difficulty and being able to protect Han Zuo.

After the three clan rebellions that had great influence, wide-ranging implications, and posed a serious threat to the Liu Han regime, the "Zuoguan Order", "Beneficiary Law", and "A Party Law" restricted the power of the princes and kings, restricted their The legal regulations of the princes' separatist forces can be regarded as having the basis for smooth implementation.

As for now?

The founding emperor Liu Bang is still alive, and the clan princes have just gradually replaced the former princes of different surnames with the political labels of "reliable" and "trustworthy" without revealing the slightest threat, but Liu Ying dares to say "restrict clan princes" , will inevitably be condemned by the whole world!
——Do you want to talk about family harmony?
——Brothers and friends, do you want Gong Gong?
——Is the human relationship, filial piety, and fraternity still respected or not, or advocated?

The most important thing is: the clan princes didn't make any mistakes at all, and you are a younger brother/nephew who is busy guarding against your elder brother/uncle all day long. With this little capacity, you are also worthy of being a prince?
Also worthy of inheriting the ancestral temple?

To be even more exaggerated, it is not even ruled out that someone will use Jing Wang Liu Jia who "fighted bravely and died for the country" as direct evidence that "clan princes are the arms of the emperor".

Combining all these things, Liu Yingzong was unwilling to admit it, so she could only bow her head silently.

——If you want to maintain the eldest son inheritance system that makes you a prince, the "Tweeting Order" must never appear!

At least not for the time being.

In addition, before the clan princes took the initiative to reveal threats to the regime and took the initiative to take actions that were unfavorable to the world, any legal regulations related to restricting the power of princes and kings could not appear in the Han Dynasty.

There is no other reason: if the name is not right, the words will not be right.

That's all...
"Ah~"

"No wonder······"

"It's no wonder that Emperor Wu's family is cutting down feudal vassals, tweening favors, and "Zuo Guan Ling" and "Benefit Law". They have such a good time..."

"The co-author is that I took the initiative to put my face aside, not to be the first, and to seize the handle of the clan and princes later..."

Shaking her head with a self-deprecating smile, Liu Ying finally straightened her upper body and let out a long sigh.

Regarding her "genius idea" being completely denied by Wang Ling, it is obviously self-deception to say that Liu Ying is not at all lonely in her heart.

But after the reflection just now, Liu Ying still feels that she has 'benefited a lot' more than being lonely.

If before this, the phrase "the quality of a policy depends not only on the policy itself, but also on the background of the times" was a dogma and a theory for Liu Ying, then from now on, Liu Ying can be regarded as realizing this personally. The truth implied in the sentence.

With such a "failure experience" that did not cause any adverse reactions and did not cause anyone to suffer any losses, Liu Ying will be able to deal with similar things more calmly and look at the problem more comprehensively when encountering similar things in the future.

Generally speaking, this feeling of 'although I know I was wrong, but I don't have any negative emotions' and the thinking after the failure made Liu Ying feel something different.

But what Liu Ying didn't know was: Once upon a time, the 49-year-old Han King Liu Bang, like Liu Ying now, experienced this strange feeling of "not being lonely because of failure".

And this kind of feeling was described by Prime Minister Xiao He as "progressive", and was evaluated by the Han family as "excellent talent";
In later generations, it is recognized as: growth.

·
When Liu Bang's car was getting closer and closer to Fengyi, and the atmosphere in Fengpei area became more and more festive, Handan, the capital of Zhao thousands of miles away, was eerily silent.

In a mansion not far from King Zhao's Palace, three men with different appearances but equally expensive clothes sat facing each other, but they didn't say a word.

Looking at Fan Kui's gradually clenched fist, and the clenched tooth socket that was making noise from time to time, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo looked at each other, but finally got up with a wry smile.

"Zuo Xiangguo..."

"roll!!!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard a thunderous cry resounding in the lobby, causing Chen Ping to throw his upper body back in a hurry!
When he turned around, Chen Ping only turned sideways subconsciously, and saw that Zhou Bo squinted his eyes even more. Although he was still kneeling on the banquet, his veined hand was quietly supporting the hilt of his sword. ·····

He coughed twice, drawing Zhou Bo's attention to himself, and then shook his head slightly at Zhou Bo.

After Zhou Bo withdrew his hand from the hilt suspiciously, Chen Ping took another deep breath, took two steps forward, and bowed to Fan Kuai.

"It's really unwise for Zuo Xiangguo to anger us two..."

"Unwise?!"

"Humph!!!"

Interrupting Chen Ping's unfinished words again, Fan Kui snorted coldly and took advantage of the situation to attack the case!

"If it weren't for the officials in the court not daring to speak honestly and honestly, how could His Majesty listen to the slander of the villain and accuse him of conspiracy in the name of 'rebellion'?!"

"An Neng sent the two of you, first bound to someone with a rope, and then released it inexplicably?!!!"

"So that Marquis Qu Ni knows!!!"

"If a certain person is unwise and fears that day, he will take the heads of both of you and present them in front of His Majesty!!!!!!"

Full of resentment, Fan Kuai vented the anger in his heart, and Fan Kui simply stopped sitting, and just stepped on the desk in front of him carelessly.

Seeing Fan Kuai's posture, Chen Ping finally stopped hesitating, bowed his head a little, pondered, and then went straight to the point.

"Since Your Majesty became rich and rebelled against the Qin Dynasty, Marquis Wuyang has been with Your Majesty for a long time. Marquis Wuyang should know your Majesty's temperament very well."

"Your Majesty, is it possible that you were slandered and blamed on Humerus' faint king?"

As he spoke, Chen Ping did not forget to turn his head to the side, and pouted slightly towards Zhou Bo.

"I am not Your Majesty Yuan Cong, Wuyang Marquis can't believe me, it is understandable."

"How can Wu Yanghou not even believe in Jianghou?"

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Fan Kui did not know if it was because he had vented his anger, but his expression softened a little.

But in his mouth, Fan Kui still didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.

"From the beginning of Fengpei to the side of His Majesty, I have a lot of trust in Jianghou."

"If it weren't for this, someone wouldn't have designed a bondage for the two of you that day."

Hearing that there was still some dissatisfaction in Fan Kuai's words, Chen Ping only sighed a little, then turned sideways and shook his head slightly at Zhou Bo.

Seeing Chen Ping's gesture, Zhou Bo finally stood up from his seat, walked forward, and came to a position half a step away from Fan Kui's side.

"Marquis Wuyang's loyalty to His Majesty is unknown to others, but the court officials such as Marquis Bing and Marquis Liu are all aware of it."

"However, what Marquis Wuyang doesn't know is that His Majesty is old, has many illnesses, and the prince is young..."

Because he deeply defended Liu Bang's suspicion of Fan Kui, Zhou Bo took out a bamboo slip from his pocket and handed it to Fan Kui.

"Marquis Wuyang, let's take a look."

"A certain Marquis of the same Quni made some persuasion, and His Majesty sent envoys to Xingshu to order Marquis Wuyang to attack Yan with his troops, so that he could make meritorious deeds."

As he said that, Zhou Bo did not forget to look at Chen Ping again, and then continued to say to Fan Kuai: "Your Majesty specially ordered Marquis Wuyang to attack Yan. Marquis Wuyang is angry with both of us, so it is your Majesty's. ..."
