Han Shizu

Chapter 1891 Silence
After the arrangement for Liu Fang was finalized, not to mention how other people felt, at least Liu Yang, as the prince, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, among all the brothers, if Jin Wang Liu Xi is the person he fears the most, then Zhao Wang Liu Fang is second only to Liu Xi. There is no other reason. Immediately afterwards, he was activated by Emperor Liu again just like Liu Xi, and he was in charge of military-related work. Now he is in charge of the daily affairs of the Guards and Imperial Guards as the Marquis of the Guard Ma Bujun.

Although the Sanya of the Forbidden Army and the Department of Guards have been overwhelmed by the front office in the past few decades, their strength has always been strong, at least in terms of scale, they have a lot of advantages.In the years of changes and transfers, a new pattern has also been formed in the Sanya of the Forbidden Army. The inspection department has been completely reduced to a public security emergency force. In the eyes of the Han officials and the people, the frequency of appearance is the highest, the sense of presence is the strongest, and the actual political influence is also the strongest. After all, Soldiers from the inspection department are in charge of most of the vital places in the two capitals except the imperial city.

The Dianqian Division and the Guard Division focused on military professionalism, and the equipment, training, and combat effectiveness of soldiers were no longer comparable to those of the Inspection Division.At the same time, the influence of the soldiers and horses in front of the palace and the second division has not been limited to the two capitals or the surrounding areas of the capital. After Kaibao’s Northern Expedition, Emperor Liu implemented the military rotation system and actively promoted the central government’s ban on the frontier and various important places. .

Therefore, today's Great Han Imperial Army is not just the "Central Army" defending the capital, but its influence has already spread to key places across the country.When it comes to the strength in various places, the Guard Division is better than the Dianqian Division.

Marquis Yuhou, Du Yuhou of the Guard Ma Bujun, ranks only fifth in the leadership system of the Guard Division. Above this position, there are also the commanders of the guards Ma Bujun, the commanders of the Ma Jundu of the guards, and the commanders of the infantry guards.

However, the above four positions have been gradually stripped of their powers during the years of changes. By the 26th year of Kaibao, they have become retirement homes for military generals who have retired to the second line, and their reputation is higher than their real positions.The actual control and command of the Mabu armies under the Department of Guards are in the charge of the generals of each army and Du Yuhou. bit.

And the actual leader of the bodyguard department, who is in charge of handling all kinds of general affairs, is precisely Marquis Yu, the capital of the horse infantry army. This is the real position of real power in the bodyguard imperial army.As for Liu Fang, as a prince, he is also in charge of the work of the bodyguard department, so it is difficult not to attract attention. You must know that Emperor Liu's love for King Zhao is well known to the government and the public.

In this regard, it is also difficult for Prince Liu Yang to lie to himself, saying that he can rest assured of Liu Fang. In other respects, he may be a little hesitant, but the sensitivity and importance of military power have been deeply influenced by Emperor Liu, and he has a clear understanding. know.

Whenever he thought about Liu Fang's past achievements and prestige in the army, and then thought of Emperor Liu's favor and leadership of the Guards Department, Liu Yang felt a certain sense of worry in his heart.That is to say, Liu Fang is frank, and has never expressed any intention of seizing the heir, or any overstepping behavior, otherwise it is hard to say what the relationship between the two brothers will become. Even so, Liu Yang is still very wary of Liu Fang. powerful.

Now, hearing what Emperor Liu meant, he wanted Liu Fang to go to Nagata, Anxi, to hunt for food with the three brothers Liu Min and Liu Ye. Liu Yang naturally relaxed a lot in his heart, and his eyes glanced at Jin Wang Liu Xi intentionally or unintentionally.

Among the four eldest brothers, only the Prince of Lizheng was left, but he didn't know how Emperor Liu planned to arrange it.

However, what made Liu Yang somewhat puzzled and wary was that in the end, Emperor Liu did not make arrangements for Liu Xi's future.

Compared to Liu Xu, Liu Fang, and Liu Yun, Emperor Liu seemed a little careless in conferring rewards on other princes, directly announcing the results without any discussion.

The seventh prince Liu Hui was named the new King of Wu (Sumatra Island), the eighth prince Liu An and the eleventh prince Liu Xiao were named the new King of Lu and the new King of Liang respectively, and the two brothers divided the island of Java together.

The twelfth prince Liu Han is the king of Xinyue, the fourteenth prince Liu Xin is the new king of Song, and the fifteenth prince Liu Xun is the new king of Han. The three brothers occupy Kalimantan Island.

Of course, Emperor Liu's distribution of the Nanyang Islands was taken for granted and wishful thinking. At least the three major islands involved still had some indigenous organizations and political powers. So far, the Han merchants have only gained some strongholds. , obtained some land and mines, and built a few towns and villages. Unlike Andong and Linyi, they did not fully meet the mature conditions for enfeoffment.

This is still on the premise of avoiding the "Xiaoqiang" in the place of Sanfoqi. It is conceivable that even if it is only to deal with some Nanyang natives, the implementation of enfeoffment will not be easy.

With Emperor Liu's decree on enfeoffing Nanyang, I'm afraid there will be another storm in the south, and even a bloody storm. At least the regime of the three islands, which was designated by Emperor Liu as the prince's kingdom, will not be easy. agree.After all, this is different from the colonization of the Han merchants and people. This is the reality of annexation, and it is obviously impossible to implement the closure of the country only by those few princes.

However, although there are problems, it does not affect Emperor Liu's pride and heartiness in dividing the world at this moment, and the courtiers can only follow his temper for the time being.

Of course, when Emperor Liu arrived, he didn't confiscate all his descendants at once. The sixteenth son, Liu Yao, had no fief. In addition, the tenth son of the emperor, Liu Zhao, the Duke of Yan, was also average. Another important figure was Jin Wang Liu Xi.

Therefore, when Emperor Liu asked people to put away the entrustment map and slowly returned to the throne, almost everyone turned their eyes to Liu Xi and Liu Zhao, and their eyes were full of deep meaning.

Liu Zhao is the third son of Empress Fu, the second son in name, and Liu Xi is the Prince of Lizheng. Both of them have certain special identities, and Emperor Liu treats them specially, so don't blame others for thinking too much. .

Therefore, there were still some eyes looking at Prince Liu Yang, as if they wanted to see his reaction and expression.It's a pity that Liu Yang only showed a calm face in front of people.

Unknowingly, midnight had passed, and the atmosphere in the Chui Gong Hall was not joyful because of the agreement on entrustment, but rather depressed, and everyone was silent.Obviously, not everyone is willing to accept Emperor Liu's will to entrust the enfeoffment, and if he accepts it, it is only because of his authority that he dare not resist.
Probably feeling the hesitation and dissatisfaction of the princes, Emperor Liu glanced around indifferently, and said again: "I still say that, it is up to my will, if I have no ambition, I can take it back and give it another seal!"

Nobody believes this
"Let's stop here today!" The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Emperor Liu was a little tired, so he didn't say any more and waved his hands away.

Emperor Liu needs time to continue to think about and perfect his plan for enfeoffment, and the princes also need to digest this, think about the future path, and find a way to deal with this situation.
