Destiny Only Han

Chapter 328 Liu Ying: How the Flying Dragon Riding on the Face Lost!
In Xuande Hall, the tussle continued.

Liu Ying looked at Liu Bang with a face full of helplessness, she shook the half-sleeved shirt on his body, and said seriously:
"The "Book of History" says, earnestly believe in righteousness, respect morality and repay merit, hang down and rule the world..."

This is the original "Shangshu" that he dismantled the Confucius family in Qufu.

Amid Shu Suntong's frequent nods, Liu Bang waved his hand violently: "Don't talk about that much, Naigong is going, you can figure it out!"

Liu Ying had no choice but to pretend to be a scholar: "It's unreasonable!"

Liu Bang laughed, not ashamed but proud: "When did Nai Gong speak the truth!"

Liu Ying spread her hands helplessly: "Okay, then I will bring you too..."

Liu Bang patted the table: "Take what's called? Who is the father and who is the father..."

In an instant, the sound of wild laughter sounded.

Lu Wan and other Liu Bang's old acquaintances leaned forward and back together, looking like they couldn't live with a smile.

But Shu Suntong, who was sitting in the corner, had a thoughtful look on his face.

Junjun, ministers, fathers, sons.

This sentence has been interpreted repeatedly by many people, but the original meaning is that a ruler should be like a ruler, a subject should be like a subject, a father should be like a father, and a son should be like a son.

At the beginning, it was Confucius who said Qi Jinggong.

When Confucius went to Qi, Duke Jing of Qi was in his later years, and it was not long before the Tian clan took over Qi.

That's why Confucius told him that the relationship between the monarch and his ministers must be corrected, that the monarch must abide by the way of the emperor, and that the ministers must abide by the way of the minister.

It's a pity that Tian's general trend has come, and the wheel of history is rolling, unstoppable.

Of course, later generations often use the derivative version of this sentence, that is, "the emperor guides his ministers, the father guides his son, and the husband guides his wife" to attack Confucianism's imprisonment on people.

This sentence is what Dong Zhongshu said is correct, but it is an excerpt. The real original text is like this.

The ruler guides the ministers, if the ruler is not righteous, the ministers vote for other countries; the country guides the people, if the country is not righteous, the people attack it; the father guides the son, the father is not kind, the son goes to another country; The guideline for wives, if the husband is not upright, the wife can remarry; if the wife assists the husband, if the wife is not virtuous, the husband will divorce her.

This is not only in line with Meng Laofuzi's concept of monarch and ministers, but also in line with Confucius' political philosophy of "follow the way but not the emperor, follow the righteousness and not the father", which is neither stupid, loyal nor cynical.

But in the eyes of Shu Suntong at this moment, the atmosphere in the hall is obviously too casual.

So he secretly wrote down all this, preparing to use it as a reference when revising the etiquette of the new dynasty.

On the other side, Liu Ying waited until the laughter died down, then looked up at Liu Bang: "Then I'll make arrangements!"

Liu Bang waved his hand to stop him from turning around and leaving:

"Do you think that war is a child's house? Let's make arrangements? Who will lead the army, where will the whole army go? How many troops will be mobilized, and where will they be mobilized? When will they start? These have not been determined yet. What are your arrangements?"

Liu Ying stood still, scratched her head and said, "You don't need to prepare so much to put down the turmoil in Yan Kingdom?"

Well, it's really not that he's from a black area.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the presence of the Yan Kingdom has been very low, basically being beaten by the surrounding Qi and Zhao countries.

The only highlight moment was when the Six Kingdoms defeated Qi.

But when the armies of other countries retreated, the Yan State suddenly revealed its true colors.

The already doomed Qi State suddenly went berserk and successfully restored the country...

Then, the country of Yan became the background board again, used to set off the strength of other countries.

For example, after the battle between Qin and Zhao Changping, the national strength of Zhao State was greatly weakened, and Yan State was about to take advantage of the fire to loot, so Lian Po and Le Cheng beat him up. Not only was the main general killed, but Zhao State almost captured the capital...

And throughout ancient history, the army composed of men from Shanxi, Shanxi, and Henan has always been the pillar of foreign defense and internal security.

Once these three pillars fall down, there will be only two pillars, Ji and Qi, that can barely support each other.

So, how did the flying dragon lose?
What's more, in history, it was Liu Bang who led a group of his old buddies to march in arms and won a big victory.

In autumn and July, Zang Tu rebelled, and in September, he rushed to the street.

Considering the distance from Xi'an to Beiping and the fact that it only took more than two months, it can even be called a self-driving tour...

It’s just that Liu Bang, who was sitting opposite Liu Ying, didn’t think so. He said sternly: “I remember you once said that you should do your best when a tiger fights a rabbit! Why do you seem to have forgotten this sentence when you come here?”

Liu Ying thought about it, and although she was a little disapproving, she still bowed and said, "I would like to be taught."

Then, he pondered for a moment on the spot and said, "This is how I planned it."

"I am the former general of the army, commanding an army of [-] troops. Fan Kuai, Marquis of Linwu, is the vanguard on the right, Lin Zhi, governor of Shu County, is the vanguard on the left. Marquis Zhou Bo, the mighty Marquis, is the general on the left, Lu Ze, king of Lu, is the general on the right, Ying Yinhou Guanying is the general of chariots... Well, if possible, I would like to write a letter to King Han Xin of Chu to see if he is interested in coming to our army as a councilor..."

Suddenly, Liu Ying heard a series of gasps around him, so he scratched his head and looked around suspiciously.

After Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, he swallowed his saliva and said, "If you didn't know that you were going to pacify Yan, Naigong would have thought that Xiang Ji had come back to life?"

Liu Ying was full of grievances: "Didn't you say you should do your best?"

In order not to hurt Liu Ying's enthusiasm, Liu Bang nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault! The former army has finished talking, let's talk about the rest of the arrangement."

Liu Ying spread her hands: "I'm only in charge of the front army. The middle army is naturally left to my father. Whether it's the deployment of troops or generals, I don't bother to think about it!"

Amidst Liu Bang's embarrassing face, laughter erupted in the hall again.

Liu Bang smiled helplessly and shook his head, so he began to choose a 'playmate' according to his own wishes.

Liu Ying, who was slowly retreating to the outside of the hall, couldn't help showing a successful smile on her face.

In this battle, he not only successfully transferred Lin Zhi from Shu County, but also sent Liu Bang into the Chinese army.

The former is naturally convenient for him to arrange the governor of Shu County with him, while the latter is to correct a mistake Liu Bang made under the shackles of the historical line.

Kill Zang Tu.

What Yan Xiangwen said was probably a lie.

Colluded with the Huns and annexed Dai County?

Whether others believe it or not, Liu Ying doesn't believe it anyway.

Doesn't Zang Tu know the consequences of annexing Dai County?
A person who can be frightened by a letter from Han Xin to surrender directly has the courage to directly confront the countless elite soldiers of the Han Kingdom who have just finished the decisive battle in Gaixia?
But since Prime Minister Yan came forward to file a complaint, this battle must be fought.

What Liu Ying had to do was to leave a way out for Zang Tu after the war. Wang Jue couldn't keep it, but fortunately, he had the merit of destroying Qin, so it shouldn't be difficult to stay in Guanzhong for a while.

Well, when the time comes, he will be arranged to live with the former Henan Wang Shenyang. I think Zang Tu will also lie flat soon under the leadership of Shen Yang who is lying flat.

If not, be laid flat!
Not killing Zang Tu was not because Liu Ying had any other feelings for Zang Tu.

It is to prevent Han Xinyingbu, Han Wangxin, etc. from having the idea of ​​"the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks; the flying birds are exhausted, the good bow hides" such thoughts.

After defeating and executing Zang Tu, it was equivalent to destroying the bond of trust between the Han Empire and the enfeoffed princes and kings.

If Zang Tu is not executed, but just questioned and killed his prince, he will not take extreme actions until he wants to cut off other princes, or when the princes feel that they will be cut off.

For example, go to the Huns, or directly mutiny.

Liu Bang is not young anymore, and marching and fighting is hard work, so it is better to let him rest as much as possible.

After all, in history, when Liu Bang put down the Yingbo rebellion, old injuries and new injuries occurred together, and he died not long after.

If it wasn't for the injury, with Liu Bang's body, it would not be difficult to live another 20 years...

Of course, it's another thing to be a prince for 30 years.

The most important thing is that if Liu Bang is alive, his old mother will still maintain the personality of a good wife and mother, so that he will not worry about being hindered by the queen mother or foreign relatives.

After all, fighting with Daddy is a lot of fun...

If he was fighting with his own mother, she cried, made trouble and hanged herself, who would suffer?

Well, as for the princes and kings in the country, they should be exterminated, of course.

But not now, it can also be replaced by a relatively mild method.

For example, scissors are poor.

That is to say, treat the vassal states as foreign countries, as the raw material production place and finished product dumping place under the industrial system of the Han Dynasty...

In doing so, not only wealth can be siphoned, but population as well.

What Liu Ying lacks most now is time.

Therefore, keeping the princes and kings from causing trouble, he had enough time to upgrade those handicraft workshops with only one frame into a large factory model.

When he completed one or two five-year plans, it was time to set rules with the Huns and princes and kings.

Liu Ying walked out of Guande Hall, turned around and walked towards the harem.

Without him, lick the cat.

But when he stepped into Lu Zhi's bedroom, he was suddenly startled by a series of screams.

Liu Ying froze in place, looking into the distance, through the transparent glass of the room, she could see a lot of shadowy figures.

At the door of the house, Wang Yanfei saw him coming, and immediately ran over happily.

"I have seen Your Highness..."

The voice is as greasy as you want, and the smile is as sweet as you want.

Brothers and sisters, don't be like this... Liu Ying nodded, and signaled the commotion in the room with her chin: "What are you doing inside?"

Wang Yanfei smiled lightly: "The empress invited Mrs. Cao, Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Tang Shan, Zhao Bazi and the others to come and watch the cats..."

Well, there will be a group of cat slaves in the harem soon... Liu Ying put her hand on her forehead and shook her head gently.

He listened to the excited and depressing voices of the would-be cat slaves in the room, and suddenly felt sorry for the historians of later generations.

Perhaps, the great Silk Road will get the same nickname as the Jade Road.

The way of cats and cats...

So, in Wang Yanfei's reluctance, Liu Ying turned and left, going to find Xiao He, to discuss, to be precise, to suggest a candidate to trust the governor of Shu County.
