Chapter 166

Too tight!

Liu Bang's plan for enfeoffing princes and enfeoffing princes is too strict.

This is definitely not something that can be hastily decided in the short ten days after coming to Chang'an.

Chen Luo dared to assert.

At least when he returned to Guanzhong from Pengcheng, Liu Bang was thinking about this issue.

Is there even a possibility that he began to think about the time point after the establishment of the big man, earlier than this?

Thinking of this, Chen Luo couldn't help but gasp.

He remembered that some time ago, when discussing matters in the tent, Liu Bang said excitedly that he could be canonized as a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households in Chang'an area.

Just thinking about it.

Fortunately, I did not agree!

Looking back carefully, this was not a generous reward given by Liu Bang under excitement, it was definitely a temptation.

We must know that the entire Guanzhong, and even the Kansai region, does not have any vassal state, which belongs to the overall policy line that cannot be changed.

Could it be that when Liu Bang was excited, his brain would twitch, thinking of allocating ten thousand households in Chang'an to reward him?

What a fucking acting school, almost caught the old fox's way.

After Chen Luo complained from the bottom of his heart, he had to admire Liu Bang's perfect plan.

You must know that on the map he drew in his mind just now, the horizontal line connecting Liu Bang's canonized Hou State is so clear that a "defense line" appears.

Although this "defense line" did not enter the territory of the "vasses and kings with different surnames", it built several high walls along their edges, layer upon layer.

And these high walls are not piled up without restraint, and they suddenly decrease when they approach Hangu Pass and Wuguan, ensuring that the route "Hangu Pass-Luoyang" will not be hindered by "high walls".

Use the princes to check and balance the princes and kings with different surnames, and prevent the princes from threatening the Han Dynasty itself. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the princes are satisfied with the feudal state without making the "vassals and kings with different surnames" feel that their interests have been damaged.

The way of balance is played to the extreme by Liu Bang, so wonderful that it looks like a work of art.

If it was someone else who planned the division, even if it was himself, Chen Luo still felt that Liu Bang's tight fit would not be possible.

Looking at Liu Bang standing on the stage with a warm expression like a spring breeze, Chen Luocai realized that he had always underestimated this man, or that he had never realized what was really scary about him.

Hidden under the appearance of a heroic prodigal son is a true emperor's heart.

"But it's not too late to discover all this now. Besides, you have your shrewdness, and I have my trump card." Chen Luo squinted his eyes, not flustered.

After all, Liu Bang never imagined that someone could see through his various ideas in enfeoffment so quickly.

Then the current scene becomes "the enemy is clear and we are dark".

Chen Luo rubbed his chin to clear away the distracting thoughts in his mind.

I have not lost the initiative.

What's more, Liu Bang is afraid of princes and kings, and he is afraid of lieutenants, but he needs them to consolidate the rule of the great Han.

The relationship among them is complementary, not blindly binary opposition.

As long as the key nodes are properly guided, the original "Battle Royale of Princes and Kings" will not appear, or the impact will be minimized, and it will not become a large-scale war.

In this way, he and Xiang Yu will not be implicated.

"The ceremony is over! Your Majesty invites all of you to a banquet in the palace to celebrate today's happiness together." On the high platform, Liu Bang had already left, and this was the ceremony official announcing the next matters.

Everyone relaxed, no longer maintaining the straight standing posture before, and there was a bit of comfort in the brows, and they began to talk to each other.

As for Chen Luo, there was a circle of congratulators around him.

"Yang Xiahou, congratulations, from today on, you are No. 1 under the princes and kings, I am really envious."

"Yangxia is not too far away from my fiefdom, Mr. Chen, I will have to rely on you to take care of me in the future."

"If Mr. Chen is free, can you come to my humble house for a banquet in a few days?"

"Yang Xiahou..."

Facing all kinds of flattering conversations, Chen Luo didn't put on a gesture. He responded kindly with a smile on his face, but declined all the invitations.

Quite a few of the people around him were Chehou. If he kept a cold face and put on an attitude of indifference, he would inevitably offend some people.

Although their fiefs are about one or two thousand households, they will be placed in various key positions when they serve in the court in the future. At that time, if they really trip themselves up, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

Chen Luo turned his head and looked around.

The other Wanhuhous were also surrounded by people.

Xiao He talked and laughed happily, Zhang Liang looked calm, and Cao Shen mingled with each other boldly...

Han Xin, why are you hesitating like that?

Sighing secretly, Chen Luo nodded to those around him whose voice fell behind, then took a few steps forward, and walked out of the path that everyone gave way to.

"Brother Han, I heard that you came to participate in the ceremony this morning without eating. You must be hungry now. Let's go to the palace to have a banquet." Chen Luo shouted loudly when he approached Han Xin.

The circle of people around him immediately moved away, with a nervous look on their faces.

General Han ignored him just now because he was hungry, but it was hard to say it directly, and we kept nagging...

Comparing their hearts to their hearts, when they feel that they are hungry and surrounded by messy noises, they must be in a bad mood.

Several Liehou with resentment in their hearts became nervous, but worried whether they would be hated by Han Xin.

Seeing Chen Luo approaching, Han Xin, who had been sullenly, finally smiled.

"Everyone, I'm leaving with Jiang Ning for the banquet first, and we'll talk about it later." After clasping his hands, he briskly left the "encirclement" of the crowd.

"Thank you, Jiang Ning." After getting into the carriage, Han Xin rubbed the center of his brows wearily, "There are so many people around, it's really arguing to my head. If you hadn't told me not to get in a relationship with these people, I would have gotten angry and chased them away."

"It's a good thing I came in time, otherwise you'd offend all the people in this group." Chen Luo curled her lips, looking back, the place where the ceremony was held behind her was still bustling and lively, like the fortune of the Han Dynasty slowly rising.

----

In the fifth month, the feudal lords and generals joined together to ask the king of Han to be the emperor.

The king of Han said: "I heard that there are emperors and sages who speak empty words and are not guarded by them. I dare not be emperor."

All the ministers said: "Who dares to doubt that the king has raised the small, punished the violent, and calmed the world?"

The king of Han gave way three times, and he had no choice but to say: "The kings must make it convenient for the country."

It was Ling Xiao He who prepared the ceremony.

On ten days, the emperor was seated in the suburb of Chang'an, offering sacrifices to the heaven and the earth, those who made meritorious deeds were rewarded, and the land was split and made a prince. ——"Historical Records: The Chronicles of Gaozu"

----

Under the parallel system of prefectures and states, Liehou, as the nominal supreme ruler of a country, always existed as a centrifugal force against the imperial power. Although the threat to centralization was relatively small, Liehou generally held important military and political positions in the court.

Therefore, the opposition and unity between the lieutenants and the emperor, princes, state governors, county guards, and county magistrates constituted the basic content of Han Dynasty politics, and wonderful dramas were staged on the political stage of the Han Dynasty. ——"Research on the Issue of Liehou in the Two Han Dynasty"
