Chapter 1553 The prince guards the border
"I have reminded you more than once in the past!" Facing this group of sons who obediently listened to the class like students, Emperor Liu brewed his emotions a little bit, and said, "What is a prince? The blood of the emperor, the nobles of the sky, the son of the court Pillars, the cornerstone of the country, the pillar of the country!

I gave you blood, and I also gave you honor, but at the same time, I also gave you responsibilities and obligations!Teaching you how to practice literature and martial arts from an early age, cultivating your talents and knowledge, what is the so-called?I hope that when you grow up, you can rely on what you have learned to shoulder the responsibility to the country and the community!
I have been asking you to read history, and ask you to learn about the past and the present. What is the purpose?Is it not for you to learn lessons from the past, to learn from the old examples of the story, and not to repeat the same mistakes!
I also know that it is not easy to be a good prince, but this is a test that you must go through, and you must be enlightened. This is the price you must pay to enjoy the glory of the heavenly family.

Since ancient times, when did the princes and grandsons indulge in pleasure and feast and feast, and it often happened at the end of the dynasty!How many years did the great man establish the country?I'm not dead yet, what are you guys doing? "

After Emperor Liu's words fell, all the princes' faces changed drastically. Emperor Liu dared not panic after saying "I'm not dead yet".

No one dared to sit anymore, they got up at the same time, regardless of the grass clippings on their robes, and knelt down on the ground, with their foreheads firmly pressed to the ground.

Seeing this formation, even Liu Xin, who was curled up in Emperor Liu's arms, couldn't help feeling a little flustered. Although she didn't know where the panic came from, and her face was tight, she couldn't help but want to get out of her loving father's embrace, and let her go. He knelt down, but was pressed down by Emperor Liu.

"It's the sons who are unfilial and let father down. Please calm down and take care of yourself!" After being reprimanded, Liu Yang finally spoke, with a face of shame, almost crying.

With the crown prince taking the lead, the other princes and princes also responded and quickly echoed. No matter what thoughts or feelings they had in their hearts, their attitudes had to be corrected.

Seeing the princes lying on the ground and listening to their petitions, Emperor Liu stretched out his hand and gently stroked the thin back of Fourteen'er to comfort him. His face remained unchanged, but his tone was still relaxed. He continued: "Ask yourselves, what happened in the past Teachings, how much do you still remember, how much do you remember in your heart, can you be worthy of your heart?"

"I'm going to know my mistake, please punish me!" This time it was Liu Xu who took the initiative to ask for his life.

Emperor Liu didn't answer, his stern gaze passed over them one by one, and it took a long time before he regained his composure.He waved his hands and said, "Get up, everyone! I don't need you to kneel down in front of me to plead guilty. I just hope that you can listen to what I say, that's enough!"

"Father taught so earnestly, how dare my son forget it!" Liu Yang said.

"What are you doing kneeling!" Seeing that they were still kneeling, Emperor Liu's tone suddenly turned cold again.Today's Emperor Liu is so strict that even asking people to stand up puts a lot of pressure on them.

Keeping nervous, the princes got up hesitantly, waiting for Emperor Liu to continue his lecture, but at this moment, they dared not sit down.Under the scorching sun, despite the wind from the lake and the shade of an umbrella, everyone was sweating profusely on their foreheads.

Of course, the purpose of Emperor Liu's gathering these princes together to give lectures was obviously not just to reprimand them.Seeing them bowing their heads and crouching their bodies, trembling like quails, Emperor Liu didn't feel any satisfaction or satisfaction in his heart.

After pondering for a while, he said: "It has been said since ancient times that people are born in sorrow and die in peace! In the end, it still makes your life so comfortable!"

"Please teach me, I will correct you later!" Liu Yang said.

Emperor Liu embraced Liu Xin with one hand, picked up a stack of memorials from the stone table in the pavilion with the other hand, and raised them, saying: "This is the memorials I have received from all sides in the past few months!

Needless to say, the Northeast, the conflict between Shi Wei and Jurchen, I think you have heard about it, it is also the most unstable place around.

Shanyang and Monan, because of the imperial government's naturalization policy, the ethnic groups in the northern part of the country also have a lot of resentment and frequent resistance!As for Longxi, it has never been really stable for more than ten years, thieves breed, horse bandits are rampant, Dangxiang, Tubo!
As for southern Sichuan, Yunnan, central Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, Annan and other places, barbarians are densely populated. In what year have we not received reports of repeated disturbances by barbarians!
These are the He Qing Haiyan and the peaceful and prosperous age that many courtiers talk about! "

"Liu Shu, tell me, what did you gain from these memorials?" Emperor Liu asked Liu Shu directly.

Being among the princes and being scolded together, Liu Shushi was not as nervous as he seemed. Anyway, no matter how the emperor lectured him, he just listened honestly and wouldn't lose a piece of meat.

However, when faced with Emperor Liu's targeted roll call, Liu Shu's heart skipped a beat, but he dared not say anything.After hesitating for a while, he arched his hands, and said cautiously: "The barbarians have repeated themselves, and the rebellion is uncertain. The Han and the borders are not stable, and they need to be rectified!"

"Heh! Being able to express this point of view, it seems that you haven't been completely out of play!"

There was a smile on Emperor Liu's mouth, but Liu Shu never thought it was a compliment to him, so he just showed a smile that was not much better than crying: "My little knowledge, I made dad laugh!"

"What are you laughing at but not laughing at? Tell me, how should you deal with this situation?" Emperor Liu asked again.

Regarding this, Liu Shu was a little depressed. This is a military strategy that involves border security, so why ask yourself?Of course, such mutterings are not dared to speak out.

After thinking about it, I gave a suggestion that was almost nonsense: "I think that the imperial court should rectify and punish those barbarians who refuse to obey the king and destroy the peace of the borders!"

"The matter of rectification, after so many years, has the imperial court ever stopped it!" Emperor Liu said indifferently: "But how did it ever get a moment of peace?"

"Forgive me for being stupid, please show me!" This kind of dialogue made Liu Shu panic, his face turned red, and he simply acted like he was sloppy and let you preach.

Seeing this, Emperor Liu finally let him go, and said leisurely: "In these years, to secure the borders, from south to north, from west to east, the imperial court has arranged more than 20 frontier troops to garrison soldiers.

However, the construction of the kingly way has never been fully realized.In my opinion, the unrest among the borders lies in the majesty and morality of the imperial court, which failed to Zebu.

As for the suffering of the soldiers, I have heard a lot, and every time I think about it, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, for the sake of solidifying the country, stick to the border, you princes, but you enjoy the comfort in the capital, is this appropriate? "

When Emperor Liu said these words, even Liu Shu realized the meaning behind it, hesitated for a while, and said with a bitter face: "Could it be that father wants to let son wait to defend, Jingping border?"

Glancing at him, Emperor Liu asked back: "Do you have the ability to go to Jingbian to settle down the people and become a naturalized barbarian?"

Even with Liu Shu's thick skin, he couldn't help but blush, faltered, and wanted to refute, but he didn't dare to say it.

Looking at the princes, Emperor Liu said indifferently: "However, if you want to polish you, there seems to be no other better way than guarding the border and letting you suffer from the contempt of the border!"

After a pause, Emperor Liu's eyes fell on Liu Xu, Liu Xi, and Liu Fang, and said forcefully: "The three of you are brothers, and you have experienced a lot of training. You should set an example for your brothers and do your best.

Let's take the lead in this frontier defense!The edict will be issued later, Liu Xu will go to the northeast, Liu Xi will go to Monan, and Liu Fang will go to Hexi!You go back and prepare, set off in autumn, and go to your duties! "

"As for the others, one counts as one, and I will go to the army to practice!" Emperor Liu said.

"Do you have any objections?" Emperor Liu asked again lightly.

Who dares to object to this?However, regarding Emperor Liu's decision, everyone had different expressions, accompanied by various thoughts and considerations.

"Father, if you want to guard the border, my son is willing to go too!" The one who is more active is Wei Wang Liu Min.

Looking at him, Emperor Liu responded, "You? First marry a wife and have children."
