Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 875 Feng Chan
"Hanji Zhucao Biography": "In the second year of Yanxi, there was a big banquet at Zhengdan. Fang watched the illusion and laughed freely. Zhongzu asked Fang: "Do you miss Wei? Fang said, "I am happy here, but I don't think about Wei." "When the words came out, others felt sorry for them."

In the court hall, he was reading out the imperial edict for the canonization of the vassal king, and said.

"Little Ziyao, I have inherited the order of the Han Dynasty. I only follow the destiny, follow the order, build Er in the south, and serve as the assistant of the Han Dynasty. But Ningtu, the state of Jidian, the people are educated and educated, and it is easy to guide them with rituals. To learn Naixin, Huai Baoli Shu, and Yonger Kingdom, Wang Qi respects it!"

"Little Zikun, I am here to receive the land of Huang. I inherit the order of heaven and inherit the great cause..."

"My son leads the order!"

Liu Chan thought for a long time, and finally set aside five counties including Dianchi Lake, Shengxiu, and Lianran (now around Kunming) from Jianning County in Ningzhou as the Nanning Kingdom, and conferred the title of the second prince Liu Kun as the King of Nanning.

Under the rule of the Hehuang Governor's Mansion, Xihai County was changed to Xihai Kingdom, and his third son Liu Yao was named the King of Xihai. In a real sense, the two princes were allowed to guard the frontier for the big man.

Their mother, Mrs. Xiang, also cried, but Liu Chan ruthlessly rejected them all.If they serve as vassal kings in the country, they are equivalent to rice worms, and if they are placed as vassal kings in the frontier, they can also contribute to the great man.

Of course, Liu Chan would not ignore the life and death of his two sons, and the fiefdom he chose for them was considered a relatively wealthy place in the local area.Moreover, there are basically no major military disasters in the places where they serve.

For example, the Xihai Kingdom in the Hehuang Valley was previously affiliated to the Hehuang Governor's Mansion, and Ma Su served as the governor to consolidate the frontier.However, as Ma Su ruled Hehuang for 20 years, and the Xianbei Yuan clan and other Xianbei tribes moved in, as well as other reliable forces, Hehuang gradually calmed down.

After all, Hehuang is big and big, and he is also small.After a hundred years of Han-Qiang War, not only the Eastern Han Dynasty perished, but also the Qiang people in the Hehuang Valley.Otherwise, it wouldn't have become Tuyuhun ruled by the Xianbei people decades later.

Therefore, after the province was merged with the army, the Hehuang Governor's Mansion was abolished, Heyuan County under his name was merged into Yongzhou, and Xihai County was merged into Liangzhou.Let them go to the frontier today, the main purpose is to Sinicize.

After Liu Yao and Liu Kun received the decree, they sat behind Prince Liu Sui.On the other hand, Liu Zhen was a little absent-minded, and faced with the two younger brothers' overtures, it was only a perfunctory return.

After he came back from comforting Jiang Zuo, he found that the Xiahou clan in the court hall was more and more favored.In the harem, the power of the Xiahou clan is growing stronger.And with Xiahouba's support, his good fourth brother gathers outstanding heroes such as Yang Hu and Zhong Hui.

Compared with the people he made good friends with, such as Luo Xian, Zhuge Zhan, Du Yu, Lu Kang, Shi Ji and others, Liu Hu's power is not enough.But no matter how small the threat is, it is still a threat, especially if the emperor father has the idea of ​​changing the prince.

Today, only the second and third princes are crowned king, but not the fourth prince, which really worries Liu Sui.

"Prince!"

It wasn't until the third brother gave a friendly reminder that Liu Zhen came back to his senses and watched his father discuss political affairs with the ministers.

And Liu Chan didn't care about Liu Sui's thoughts. The reason why Liu Hu was not canonized this time was mainly because Xiahou Hui wanted King Yan last time, not King Zhongshan.In addition, Liu Chan had a shadow of his fourth son King Yan, so he chose to postpone the canonization.

At the moment, he was discussing with his ministers about the conferring of Zen, Liu Chan sat on the couch and asked, "Why did you suddenly bring up the matter of enshrining Mount Tai?"

Because of the existence of Zen in Liu Chan's name, people said that they used sacrifices instead of Feng Chan.In "Guanzi", Feng is a sacrifice to heaven, and Zen is a sacrifice to earth.

Fei Yi held the wat board in his hand and said: "Your Majesty will promote the cause of the Han Dynasty and inherit the legacy of the late emperor. The merits and virtues built by the world are obvious to all. In the past, the Qin Emperor swept the six kingdoms and went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices; ;Guangwuguang restored the Han Dynasty, and also went to Taishan for sacrifices. Now, with the merits of your majesty, why can't you go to Taishan to worship the heaven and the earth, and carve stones to praise the virtue of my great man."

"Your Majesty agrees with what Fei Situ said. Your Majesty can also take this opportunity to inspect the Eastern Lands to see how local political affairs are going. Time must not be lost, and the sky must not be violated! I think it is too late for the sacrifice today. Your Majesty should be in the East after the rebellion against the Wei Dynasty , offering sacrifices to Mount Tai." Chen Zhiying said.

Liu Chan was moved, but he still refused, saying: "I'm afraid I don't think so. If the world is peaceful and the people are healthy, even if they don't offer sacrifices, they will be praised by others. In the past, Emperor Qin offered sacrifices to Mount Tai, and Emperor Xiaowen didn't Go to offer sacrifices to Mount Tai. Could it be that the descendants of us think that Emperor Xiaowen is not as good as Emperor Qin?"

Fei Yi continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, the sacrifice of Mount Tai is to show the merits of the king. The merit of the king lies in the fruit of good governance of the world. If your majesty does not go to Mount Tai for sacrifices, will the world and future generations know about your majesty's achievements?"

Saying that, Fei Yi led everyone at Shangshutai to bow and salute.

Seeing everyone's attitude of approval, Liu Chan hesitated.Thinking that he could be ranked with the emperors of all dynasties, the corners of Liu Chan's mouth could not help but rise.

I have worked hard for nearly 30 years, and going to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen may be an encouragement to myself.

While everyone was kneeling, Du Shu came out from the couch, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think you can go to Mount Tai for a sacrifice."

Liu Chan frowned, feeling displeased, and asked, "Your disapproval of the award, could it be that my achievements are not high?"

"Your Majesty will rule China and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, of course he has made great achievements!"

"Could it be that virtue is not thick?"

"Your Majesty is benevolent in governing and caring for the people. Appointing sages is of course virtuous!"

"The world is restless?"

"The world is stable!"

Liu Chan emphasized his tone and asked, "Could it be that the Siyi are not convinced?"

"The Siyi have been conquered!"

"Could it be that Fu Rui hasn't arrived yet!"

Du Shu couldn't help laughing, and said: "If Your Majesty wants Furui, everyone in the world can get Furui every day."

Hearing this, it was Liu Chan's turn to be puzzled, and asked, "Why can't you say so?"

Holding the wat board, Du Shu replied earnestly: "Although your Majesty has the above five kinds of kindness, my big man has inherited the wars that have lasted for Jiazi years since the Later Han Dynasty. There are only tens of millions of people in the mouth, and the warehouses are also empty. Taishan, driving eastward in a car, riding thousands of rides, I don't know how much material is consumed, it is beyond what I can bear at the moment."

"A visit to the east for a sacrificial sacrifice is worth a hundred thousand troops. One hundred thousand troops can destroy Dongyi, but His Majesty is doing a sacrificial sacrifice for a false name. I am puzzled."

Meng Guang, the servant of Shangshu, bowed his body and came out and said: "I also agree with Du Yushi's opinion. To govern the world, we should be frugal in things and be rich to the people. Your Majesty and all the princes always set an example and order all officials to be simple. How can they be extravagant now. "

"And a few days ago, His Majesty ordered Guan Shangshu to choose a site to rebuild Chang'an City. To rebuild Chang'an, the palace also needs to be newly built. During the process, countless manpower and material resources will be required, which may cause resentment among the people. Therefore, it is not only the time to consecrate Mount Tai. , and the civil engineering work needs to be stopped.”

Meng Guang was very upset, and continued: "In the past, Emperor Qin built the Afang Palace and built the Great Wall, resulting in the death of the second generation. If your majesty sends out corvees indiscriminately, I am afraid that the great man will also die in the second generation."

"Ha ha!"

Liu Chan sneered, and asked scoldingly, "How is I compared to King Zhou?"

Meng Guang didn't continue to pay attention to Liu Chan's anger, but said: "I'm afraid that after the palace is built and the east tour is completed, I, a big man, will fall into war again."

"When the Han Dynasty rebuilt the Chang'an Palace, His Majesty thought that it would cost a lot of money to build another new city, so he built the palace city to live in another place. He demolished the palace bricks and kept them for the palace city, and distributed the extra palace walls to the people of Chang'an. Praise it."

Meng Guang's attitude was fierce, and he said: "I am old and fearless of life and death, but the interests and harms in the process cannot be ignored. It is not long before His Majesty has stabilized the world, and with such great fanfare, I don't know what the people of the world will think."

Then, Meng Guang pointed at Fei Yi with a wat board, and said: "Fei Yi is greedy for fame and fortune, and wants His Majesty to offer sacrifices to Mount Tai and serve as prime minister with his merits. His intentions are sinister and unacceptable!"

Seeing Meng Guang revealing his thoughts, Fei Yi looked extremely embarrassed and lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Liu Chan saw that the situation was a little troublesome, so he felt helpless towards the old man, so he eased the atmosphere and said, "I rebuilt Chang'an City because I saw that the old city was desolate and the palace city was small, which was not good for the people to live in, and it was not good for the ministers to discuss matters, so I rebuilt Chang'an City. Imam Canglan is not rich yet, so the rebuilding of Chang'an City has come to an end."

After a pause, Liu Chan said: "There is no discussion about the sacrifice of Mount Tai. Give Mengqing two hundred pieces of Shu brocade to show his merit in persuading and admonishing him. Also promote Qing to be the crown prince's tutor, so as to rectify the prince's gains and losses."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Meng Guang responded.

Liu Chan was also helpless towards Meng Guang. Although the old man's intentions were good, his words were too fierce, and he never cared about other people's feelings. He accused Fei Yi more than once in front of everyone.

Today's promotion of Meng Guang to Prince Taifu is also a last resort for Liu Chan.If he is allowed to serve as Minister of Public Affairs again, Fei Yi will stop working.It's also because Fei Yi has a good temper. If it was someone else, he would have looked for an opportunity to impeach Meng Guang.

Of course, Liu Chan could not be clear about Fei Yi's small thoughts.It can only be said that most people in the world have selfishness, it depends on whether his selfishness violates the righteous way.
