Han Shizu

Feeling the mockery in Emperor Liu's tone, Liu Shu was slightly relieved, lowered his head, and waited for the next sentence.

Emperor Liu raised his head slightly, with a look of perplexity on his old face, and said quietly: "Didn't you often complain that I am biased, only value a few older brothers, treat you little ones as nothing, and refuse to give you a chance... ..."

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Liu Shu cried out almost instinctively, with even a bit of resentment on his face: "Who is making a rumor about me in front of His Majesty again!"

Subconsciously, the figure of Jin Wang Liu Xi appeared in Liu Shu's mind. Liu Shu said that he was a little heartless, and he forgot things after they passed. He didn't have a long memory, but he could remember some things for a lifetime. Come out and look through old accounts.

"Although I am dull, I can still appreciate your majesty's care and love for me. Otherwise, because of the absurd things I committed, I will be expelled from the title and deposed as a commoner. To your majesty, I can only be grateful. Why do you complain? Words?" At this time, Liu Shu's expression was particularly sincere.

Apparently, Liu Shu's fall was quite shocking to Liu Shu. Although he was stubborn on the surface, how could he not be afraid and regretful in his heart.Over the past few months, this rhetoric has become more and more clever.

Hearing what he said, Emperor Liu turned around and looked directly at Liu Shu, as if he wanted to see through him, until Liu Shu was at a loss, and then said softly: "You don't need to rush to defend yourself! I don't care what you think , and don't care what you said, what I think now is to give you a chance, and it is also the last chance!"

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Liu Shu was surprised, and his eyes couldn't help but glow a little. He looked at Emperor Liu with curiosity and anticipation, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, please show me."

"You know Champa, right?" Emperor Liu asked softly, without directly stating the purpose.

Liu Shu nodded: "It's south of Annan and east of Chenla, but it was destroyed by the imperial court long ago!"

"It's not bad, but I'm not ignorant!" Emperor Liu gave a flat evaluation, and then said: "I separated the old city of Champa from Annan and sealed it to you, how about it?"

As soon as these words fell, Liu Shu was completely shocked, subconsciously took a breath, and looked at Emperor Liu in disbelief: "Really?"

It can be seen from Liu Shu's expression that he even thinks that Emperor Liu is joking.However, the current Emperor Liu is not in the mood to make jokes. He looked at Liu Shu and said calmly, "No joke! Can you take it?"

There is no reason to hesitate, Liu Shu immediately thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Not only was he not punished, but he got a fief for nothing. Where can such a good thing be found.At this moment, Liu Shu was ready to have a good understanding of the old place of Champa. In his cognition, there are several states and hundreds of thousands of people...

However, while delighted, Liu Shu couldn't help wondering what the intention of Emperor Liu's move was.The thoughtful expression betrayed his thoughts, Emperor Liu saw it, and said, "You are wondering, why did I issue this enfeoffment order?"

"Yes!" Liu Shu nodded bluntly: "I have no morals and incompetence, and even sometimes act rebelliously, making no contribution to the court. I am afraid that receiving such a generous gift will not win the hearts of the people..."

After Liu Shu's words, Emperor Liu finally smiled: "It's rare! You are so self-aware!"

Although it was a little embarrassing, under the big pie of Emperor Liu, this little bit of sarcasm was really nothing, so he just smiled sarcastically.

Looking at Liu Shu, Emperor Liu said in a deep voice: "This is indeed a gift, but if you only regard it as a reward, then I will be disappointed!"

Hearing this, Liu Shu's face immediately became serious, and he folded his hands as if to listen respectfully: "Dare to ask Your Majesty to teach you!"

Emperor Liu paused for a moment before eloquently speaking: "After more than 30 years of expansion, the expansion of the Han Dynasty has reached its limit. Many frontiers are already unable to make ends meet. Military and political affairs consume a lot of money and food from the imperial court every year. Maintain governance.

If things go on like this, the burden on the imperial court will only increase with the passage of time.But these lands cannot be given up, not a piece of them can be lost.

This is not only the result of the expansion of the territory of the Han Dynasty, but also the national policy of consolidating the frontier and maintaining the stability of the Han Dynasty.

However, we have to consider the practical issues. I have been thinking about this matter for many years.
It is not the character of a big man to be self-confident, so he should fight out completely to keep foreign aggressors out of the big man.A big man can be troubled by internal troubles, but he must not be restrained by external troubles. This is my psychological bottom line, and this is also my request to you princes!
Bestowing Champa to you is a beginning! "

Emperor Liu's words were almost confiding. Liu Shu heard it, thought about it, and was moved: "Your Majesty expects and values ​​you so much, and I am so grateful!"

"It's not just you!" Emperor Liu waved his hand, and his tone rose slightly: "You princes and grandchildren, I will entrust you one by one in the future! This world is very big, and it is far beyond China. There are still thousands of miles of territory beyond Kyushu.

The footsteps of the big man, when he traveled all over the world, under the sun, all are Han soil, this is the great cause of opening up the world.

It's just that I'm old, and my body can no longer support such lofty ambitions. I can't see that day, and I can only see you descendants!

I only hope that one day, when you burn incense and paper, you can report some good news to me.Enfeoffing Champa is not just a gift, but also a task, a mission, and a responsibility!
Of course, as a father, I also have to think more about you children and grandchildren, which can be regarded as a way that is purely personal!

Although a big man is big, he cannot be divided into several shares like gold, silver and wealth for you to share.Fortunately, the outside world is vast enough for you to develop, you just need to forge ahead! "

"I must remember His Majesty's lesson well and live up to the entrustment!" Liu Shu immediately swore an oath when he heard the words, and his words were firm: "Consolidate the country and open up the land of Han with all my heart and soul!"

"It's easy to say something, but you have to put your heart into it!" Emperor Liu glanced at Liu Shu.

"Yes!"

Probably because he talked too much, Emperor Liu's energy was obviously low, but he still persisted.After pondering for a while, he said again: "The recovery of the land occupied by the city was just a matter of convenience in the beginning, it was easy to obtain, but difficult to govern.

Over the past decade or so, Annan has mainly focused on subjugating and assimilating the old land in the north. He has somewhat relaxed the south, sending only some officials and a small number of troops to guard it, barely maintaining the rule of the big Han.

But this rule is more in name only. In recent years, those remnants of rebels and diehards have repeatedly made troubles, intending to restore the country. Chenla in the west is also restless and has repeatedly provoked.Occupy the land is not safe!

What I have given you is not a piece of familiar land, but a wild land full of chaos and danger. There are still many things that you need to work hard to overcome! "

"The mere barbarians were allowed to run rampant before, but the court ignored them. If the ministers go there, those who are not ministers will be wiped out one by one!" Liu Shu raised his head, looking a little flustered.

If it were a courtier with rich experience and outstanding ability to say these words, Emperor Liu might still express his affirmation and appreciation, but Liu Shu always makes people feel uneasy, after all, he has never really proved himself.However, because of this, Emperor Liu didn't want to attack directly, but said leisurely: "You have the opportunity, I will wait and see, I hope you will not fall into the majesty of the Tian family!"

"Yes!" Liu Shu showed a rare solemnity on his face.

After some heart-to-heart messages, both father and son gradually calmed down. As soon as this person calmed down, many previously ignored thoughts kept pounding his brain.

Looking at the exhausted Emperor Liu, Liu Shu still couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, if I go to Zhancheng, how will I deal with these lands and industries in the country?"

As soon as Liu Shu dug his ass, he knew what shit he was going to do. Hearing what he said, Emperor Liu couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said calmly, "How do you want to deal with it!"

"Your Majesty, I beg you to make a holy judgment!" Sensing the change in Emperor Liu's expression, Liu Shu immediately lowered his eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye.

"Sell all your fields and properties, and just keep a mansion in each of the two capitals in China! The money and food obtained from the sale will be used as capital for the country. All the servants and servants in your mansion will go with you. I will allocate another mansion." Money, food, and soldiers are used as support! How about it?" Emperor Liu said.

Emperor Liu had already spoken, so Liu Shu dared not object. Although he felt a little bit reluctant, he still said straightforwardly: "That's very good, I will listen to His Majesty's arrangements!"

"Waiting for the edict! I'm going back to the palace!" After the confession, Emperor Liu couldn't control his fatigue, waved his hands, leaned on a bamboo stick, and left slowly.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Respectfully sent Emperor Liu to the gate of the mansion, looked at Luanjia who was leaving, until Luanjia disappeared from sight, Liu Shu just came back to his senses.

Myself, is this considered to be sent to the frontier?Although he was a little worried about gains and losses, Liu Shu's heart was unavoidably ups and downs. He had lived in a daze for 30 years, and he had never throbbed like this time.

There is no future in the country, not to mention the prince, even those brothers who are like dragons and tigers are not something he can compete with.

Just like what the old emperor said, besides the big man, there is a lot of potential in the vast land. If he can make some achievements, he can also make those who underestimate him Liu Shu look like a fool!
