Han Shizu

Chapter 1878 Lin Yi Country

On the next day, Emperor Liu's edict to confine the country was issued, and the whole court was shocked for a while, but after a slight uproar, it subsided quickly, and did not cause too drastic changes.

The courtiers were more surprised, not the edict itself, but wondering why it was Liu Shu?
Regarding the closure of the country, there was no objection, not even objection.Not just because I dare not, but also because there is no reason to object.The old place of Champa, what kind of wild and remote place is this? Although Champa rice has already spread all over the Han Dynasty and has become one of the staple foods on the table of the common people. outside.

After all, it was too easy to conquer Zhancheng State at the beginning, but in the process of recovering Annan, the Southern Expedition Army did it conveniently to chase down the remnants of the Ding Clan.It was easy to come by, and I didn't put too much energy into it later, so it's hard to pay attention to it. It's really not surprising that such a barren land was granted to the prince.

On the other hand, over the years, there has always been such a voice in the court that the territory of the Han Dynasty is too vast, and it has occupied too many remote places in the past 30 to [-] years. Not to mention no income, it has continued to lose money and consume national power. Therefore, they suggested that the court should have the determination to give up, just like removing ringworm, stopping losses and reducing burdens.

There are quite a few people who hold similar views, but this is not the mainstream view, and is firmly suppressed by the upper-level authorities (especially Emperor Liu).

If it is said that giving up directly, it will be negative to pay the sacrifices of the officers and people, and it will hurt the positive spirit of the big man to forge ahead, then enfeoffing the prince will seem to be "the best of both worlds".On the other hand, this can also be traced back to the origin. If there was no Zong Zhou to divide the world, how could the great Han have a territory of thousands of miles today.

If you talk about the disadvantages of enfeoffment, there are also people who have something to say, but this is out of date for the current big man.Some wild lands in the corners, would they rather give up because the cost of ruling is not enough, rather than hand over to the princes for them to manage?

Of course, the most essential part of this matter lies in Emperor Liu!The old emperor's decision has already been promulgated, so there is no possibility of taking it back.And one of the most simple and crude considerations is that the whole world belongs to the emperor. If Emperor Liu gets dizzy and enfeoffs the core hinterland directly under the imperial court, can everyone object, and can they object?

Compared to this, the courtiers were more concerned, obviously, how could Liu Shu be such an absurd prince?
With regard to enfeoffment, this is not without reason. In the past, Emperor Liu has made similar expressions more than once. Although many times it is relatively cryptic, how can it be hidden from the court's hard-working people.

In the eyes of some ministers, even if one day, Emperor Liu really made up his mind to divide the land, then the first batch would be either Anton or Anxi. You must know that the rumors of "King Anton" were rampant back then.

What's more, Anton has been managed by Qin Wang Liu Xu for more than ten years, and has already formed a family of his own. No matter the credit, prestige, strength or even Emperor Liu's personal love, it should be Liu Xu.

Even though he was still struggling in Anxi and fighting fiercely with the Dashi coalition forces, Wei Wang Liu Min was more convincing, but it happened to be the most absurd and ineffective Ninth Prince Liu Shu among the princes, so he had to say Emperor Liu's eccentricity.

Of course, looking at it from another angle, even Liu Shu has closed the country, so are Anton and Anxi still far away?Are the other princes far away?

What's more, if you use the analogy of Emperor Zhou's division of the world, not only Ji's blood, but also heroes, dare to think about it, does that mean that these heroic officials of the big man also have a chance?
It is not an extravagant hope to entrust a country with a king, and there is no need to think about directly governing the mainland, but who can really dislike having a piece of territory outside the territory?What's more, with these 20 or [-] years of unremitting exploration, the vision of the big Han dignitaries has long been opened, and they are also clear that not all wild lands outside the region, there are also rich and prosperous places.

Although many people who colonized outside the territory (especially overseas colonization) with the expansion of the Han Dynasty, they were local emperors themselves, and they had almost all powers except in name, but privately, and officially recognized by the court. Yes, the gap between the two is completely a gap. The principle of righteousness and legal principles is still deeply rooted in the consciousness of the people of the Han people.

Therefore, the rumor that Emperor Liu would once again offer a big reward, along with the news of Liu Shu's conquest of the country, continued to spread, spread, and ferment.

The point is, this is not a rumor, it was secretly spread by Emperor Liu. He did have this idea, and the purpose is very simple, to continue to divert the attention of the rich and powerful of the Han Dynasty, and to give the common people of the Han Dynasty more room to breathe. .

And when it came to Liu Shu's feudal kingdom, it was not without objections. Even though he didn't dare to make mistakes on the surface, Emperor Liu could clearly feel that kind of dissatisfaction.

These people are naturally members of the princeling party. For them, all people and things that threaten the status of the prince should be controlled. If they cannot be controlled, they would rather not happen.

They were not worried about Liu Shu. After all, Liu Shu really didn't have the qualifications. What they were worried about was that if Emperor Liu made this head start, there would be follow-up actions. King, it may not be all good for the central court, and it will inevitably have an impact on the status of the crown prince Liu Yang.In the final analysis, he was still afraid of princes like Qin Wang Liuxu and Wei Wang Liumin who had soldiers, power and money, especially Qin Wang Liuxu who occupied the status of the eldest son of the emperor.

However, these people's worries are somewhat useless. Not to mention that Emperor Liu doesn't care about their thoughts, even the crown prince Liu Yang may not obey. Surroundings may be the best choice.

As for the troubles that may be caused in the future, in Liu Yang's eyes, it is far less harmful than letting these brothers toss in the country.Therefore, without the knowledge of others, Liu Yang was even secretly looking forward to Emperor Liu's next move, especially wanting to know how he would arrange for King Liu Xi of Jin.

From the present point of view, what Liu Yang is really afraid of is not the boss Liu Xu, but the king of Jin Liu Xi who is in charge of the prime minister and assists the political affairs hall with the dignity of a prince. This is what Liu Yang really feels threatened after becoming the prince.However, Liu Yang hid this fear very well. When facing Liu Xi, he still smiled, always admiring and affirming the third brother...

The title given to Liu Shu is naturally not "Champa" or "Champa", which has aboriginal cultural connotations. After pursuing historical sites, he was finally named King of Linyi, and the Han Dynasty also gained a new vassal state: Linyi Kingdom.
