I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 148 The Trap of the Game of Thrones

Seal the king!

Optional fief!
After hearing this, Xiao He felt that his head was buzzing.

When it was placed in Bangzhou, King Wu's younger brother didn't have this treatment, right?

However, behind great opportunities are often great risks.

If this kind of treatment fell on Lu Wan, he would be envious and jealous, thinking that the boy had the best relationship with Liu Bang, and it was due to his natural luck, so it would be fine to change him.

But now, putting himself in Chen Luo's position... Xiao He felt deep fear emerging from the bottom of his heart, like gray-white multi-legged bugs crawling onto his body from the edge of the mud brick wall.

He was very curious about what choice Chen Luo would make.

Chen Luo chuckled, got up formally and saluted Liu Bang, and said, "Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty, the favor you bestowed is as refreshing as the morning breeze in spring.

However, I made merits when the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, and I have not yet been crowned king. Now that the Han Dynasty has been established, I have made little contribution. Instead, I have broken the ground. I am afraid that I will provoke criticism from others.

If you want to reward me, then sealing me as a Marquis is enough. "

In this way, Liu Bang's reward was politely declined.

Those who don't know may feel it's a pity, but Chen Luo's heart is bright.

He summed up the three major taboos in the ten years of the early Han Dynasty, the third of which is "at least three generations of wealth and honor, and at most three years of being a king".

After all, the princes and kings of the early Han Dynasty escaped and killed, and the princes and kings with different surnames survived in only one place, the most remote and non-threatening Changsha king Wu Rui, the other princes and kings with different surnames, Lu Wan who was the closest to Liu Bang, and Han Xin, who made the most contributions, all did not land smoothly.

Now Xiang Yu has become Liu Ying's "princeling" team, with Empress Lu in the center, popular support in the local area, and personal strength, it is no problem to spend the rest of his life in peace.

But if they are also crowned kings, then they may not be like "princelings", but become "Xiang Dang" or "Chu Dang".

Therefore, rejecting Liu Bang's reward is the best choice.

Seeing Chen Luo so lucid, Xiao He was secretly surprised.

I am afraid that only by changing ovaries can I have such concentration and make such a far-sighted choice.

You, Chen Luo, are really just like your own name, with the long-lasting wisdom and insight of Luoshui.

Xiao He, who originally planned to say a few words when Chen Luo was in charge, nodded his head at this time and said: "We are discussing this in private, and our words are all from the heart. Since Jiang Ning thinks it is enough to be a Marquis, Your Majesty does not have to doubt it."

After receiving Xiao He's assist, Chen Luo also nodded and added: "Prime Minister Xiao is right, what I said just now came from the bottom of my heart, and it is too tiring to govern a country. I don't have the talent and ability, so I will fail you and the local people."

After pondering for a moment, Liu Bang realized that Chen Luo was indeed not playing the "three concessions and three invitations" routine.

So he sighed leisurely, and then waved his hand: "Since Jiang Ning has no intention of doing this, how can I force you? But when the time comes, I will grant you wherever you want to be a marquis. Even if you want to be sealed in Chang'an City, I will find you thousands of households in Chang'an City and reward you."

When he said these words, Liu Bang was full of heroism.

Others even refused to be king of the cracked soil, and only wanted a position, so how can I be stingy.

See if I don't flood you with rewards!

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I came from corvee service and never returned home. I am homesick, so I will put my fief in Yangxia." Like Xiao He just now, Chen Luo broke out in a cold sweat.

Now Chang'an is just a new city, and I don't know if there are [-] households.

If you seal [-] households to yourself, then this Chang'an city... is it surnamed Liu or Chen?
Now Liu Bang is on the top for a while, and he promises grandly, but if he really dares to agree, when Liu Bang reacts, trouble will come.

As for the origin of my hometown.

Chen Luo had read "Experimental Biography" when he was in Daze Township, and found that he and Wu Guangnai were from the same township, and both were from Yangxia.

Thinking of the native land, it is an incomparably legitimate reason to want to enfeoff Yangxia and become the Marquis of Yangxia, and it probably will not arouse Cheng Liu Bang's resentment and vigilance.

Liu Bang said with relief: "Okay, I'm sure."

He turned his head away again, "Old Xiao, what about you? I think you are the number one hero of my great man's founding of the country."

Xiao He shook his head: "I am also a Marquis."

Liu Bang squinted his eyes, then frowned and said in a loud voice: "Old Xiao, what are you talking about? No one wants to be crowned king. What's the matter? Is the position of the king of my big man hot?"

Being questioned suddenly, Xiao He's right hand trembled slightly up and down.

Seeing this, Chen Luo hurriedly made a rescue and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that Prime Minister Xiao doesn't want to be crowned king, he can't be crowned king."

Liu Bang, who was originally "angry", said "doubtfully": "Why did Jiang Ning say that? Old Xiao worked hard in the rear, and made great contributions. He worked hard for my big man. Why can't he be king?"

Looking at Xiao He for a moment, Chen Luo said again: "Your Majesty, I am not saying that Prime Minister Xiao's achievements cannot be crowned king.

If Prime Minister Xiao becomes a vassal, he will definitely leave Chang'an, leave Guanzhong, and go to his fiefdom.

In this way, without the management of Prime Minister Xiao, the court may run in a jerky way, and you will be like a right-hand man who loses his right-hand man when governing the country.

Prime Minister Xiao's departure is not good for the revival of the great man.

That's what I meant when I said 'Prime Minister Xiao cannot be crowned king'. "

Makes sense!

Liu Bang, who was originally "doubtful", opened his eyes wide in shock.

Judging from the previous battles, Lao Xiao in the rear is indeed like the Dinghai Shenzhen Needle, which is absolutely indispensable.

Xiao He was also stunned for a moment.

It turns out that I can't be crowned king, is there another reason?
He quickly reacted and said: "Your Majesty, I really want to contribute more to the great man. Compared with being king outside, it is my wish to be your prime minister all the time."

In a short period of time, Xiao He felt lucky for the third time that he had invited Chen Luo to discuss matters together.

This is really an extremely correct decision!
Otherwise, many of Liu Bang's questions today are full of traps, and he will definitely not be able to handle them alone, and will fall into them.

Falling into the traps set by hunters in the mountains, you may lose a hand, a foot, or even a life in the worst case.And falling into the trap of the power game, then "Nine Clans Xiao Xiao Le" is not a joke.

Liu Bang smiled helplessly: "One or two of you, there used to be so many famous generals in Qin Dynasty who didn't have the chance to be crowned king, but now I, a big man, gave the opportunity to come out, but all of them were rejected. It's really weird."

He said a few words with emotion, and continued: "Okay, Lao Xiao, if there is anything else that needs to be discussed, you can continue."

"The most important thing has been said, and there are only some trifles left." Xiao He took a deep breath to calm his mind.

After half an hour.

Xiao He and Chen Luo left the tent.

"Thank you Jiang Ning for today's matter." After walking a certain distance, Xiao He said softly, looking ahead.

Chen Luo nodded slightly: "Brother Xiao, you are welcome. Your Majesty's enthronement ceremony is coming soon, and we still need you and me to work hard."

"That's for sure, what's the job of this."

The sun was shining on her body, and Chen Luo stretched her waist: "Brother Xiao is going back to Chang'an, I'm going to sleep in the cage again, and I won't send him far away."
