Han Shizu

Chapter 1905
"Officials, His Royal Highness King Qi has arrived!"

"Let him in!"

It was still the Chuigong Hall, the same picture, and the same position. Emperor Liu was standing with his waist slightly bent, but this time, he was leaning on the bamboo stick that had been used for almost a year.

Liu Yun walked in slowly, and the figure of Emperor Liu came into view. The old emperor's back was not as majestic as before, but he still persisted tenaciously. The light of spring shone on him through the doors and windows. sacred" feeling.

Seeing this scene, although he hadn't seen the old father's face, but he could already imagine the beard and white beard, Liu Yun couldn't help being touched, and his eyes were even red.

Although he didn't understand some of Emperor Liu's policy concepts and practices, at this moment, Liu Yun's mood suddenly calmed down, and he was less entangled in worrying about gains and losses.

Two steps forward, Liu Yun bowed with a long body: "Minister Liu Yun, see Your Majesty!"

Hearing the sound, Emperor Liu turned his head and looked at his five sons. His eyes were obviously not very good. After some effort, he finally saw clearly, and asked casually: "I heard your voice, I'm not in the right mood, what's wrong?"

Liu Yun stabilized his mind, shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I feel touched when I see Dad's back!"

Emperor Liu was slightly surprised, and waved at him without asking any further questions.Seeing this, Liu Yun walked quickly to Emperor Liu and gently supported Emperor Liu's raised arm.Emperor Liu subconsciously wanted to resist, but after noticing Liu Yun's sincere gaze, he finally did not refuse.

"You look at me with this kind of eyes, and I really don't feel used to it!" After making a little joke, Emperor Liu said softly: "I have been waiting for your brothers to come to the door these few days! The person who has the audience, you know the most Who surprised me?"

Liu Yun shook his head: "I don't know!"

"It's Liu Xiao!" Emperor Liu smiled.

"Eleventh brother!" Liu Yun frowned slightly.

Emperor Liu said with a little gratification and pity in his tone, "If Liu Xiaolai tells me that he doesn't want to go, I can understand it! He has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he is loved by heaven when he grows up. Places like Nanyang, It's dirty, full of miasma, and full of diseases. If a man in his prime goes there, his life will be in danger at any time, let alone him? But it was him who ran up to me and told me that he was willing to go."

Speaking of this, Emperor Liu's eyes were even a little moist: "He told me that since he was a child, he has suffered from physical disadvantages. He has been cared for by his parents and brothers for a long time, and he has never repaid him. Domain, it is difficult to stop him!
I was very moved when I heard such a heartless heart and such passionate words, and I couldn't help but feel ashamed!For so many years, I have not cared more about your eleventh brother, but only gave you the title of Liang Guogong.

You are brothers from the same mother, but compared to Liu Xiao, I take care of you significantly more, do you admit it! "

When he said the last sentence, Emperor Liu's tone changed significantly, and his old eyes became sharp instantly, looking straight at Liu Yun.

Facing Emperor Liu's gaze, Liu Yun met him calmly and said, "My son is not as good as the eleventh brother, I let my father down!"

As he spoke, he took two steps back slowly, and solemnly bowed to Emperor Liu, saying: "Son, I have thought carefully these past few days, and I dare not live up to my father's expectations, and I am willing to go to sea for the country!"

Liu Yun's attitude is frank and serious, and he doesn't even call him "junchen" which is full of estrangement, obviously he has made up his mind.Emperor Liu stared at him for a long time, then turned his head and continued to look at the enfeoffment map, staring at the two islands east of the Whale Sea and north of Japan, and sighed softly:
"I know that these are actually two barren lands. The South Island is nothing more than a few native peoples, but the North Island may be a deserted island. It is not too much to say that it is a bird without shit!
I also know that I have wronged you by letting you go to these two places to seek refuge in the country!Let me tell you what is in my heart today, let me tell you my true thoughts!What I hope for you is definitely not to manage those two islands well, but to focus on Japan in the south! "

Hearing this, Liu Yun was unexpectedly calm, nodded, and replied, "I guessed it!"

Emperor Liu turned his head to look at his son again. Liu Yun, who became serious, showed a reassuring temperament, calm and focused.At this time, Emperor Liu kept having such a thought in his mind: This son can be entrusted with a heavy responsibility!

Staring at Liu Yun, Emperor Liu also said in a serious tone: "You have been to Japan. In your opinion, if you use Ezo Island as your base, can you attack Japan southward and make it a Chinese land?"

Wen asked, Liu Yun pondered for a long time, his expression was not relaxed, and said: "The Japanese lineage has been passed down for a long time, and its system and culture have learned a lot from China. There is a central court that has been recognized and has a certain authority. Clans are completely different.

Of course, this is a small island country after all. With the power of a big man, it is enough to overthrow it, but the time, military, financial, and material resources required are difficult to measure.

You can go to the two islands of Xinqi and have the confidence to manage them well, but without the continuous support of the imperial court, it is completely impossible to go south and swallow Japan.Fei'er's ambition is insufficient, and he is throwing power to the Ezo, across thousands of miles of oceans, just to attack a neighbor who is friendly and close to the big man. I am afraid that the subjects will find it difficult to understand, and the court will find it difficult to persist for a long time.

It is true that a big man is invincible in the world, but if he makes enemies on all sides and fights everywhere, no matter how big the big man is, he will not be able to bear it.Right now, the fiscal and taxation reform advocated by Dad is far from being completed. In the domestic Daozhou, stability should be the first priority, and it is not suitable to use foreign troops.

Even if the matter of enfeoffment is negotiated, it should be emphasized. Anton has a big brother, and the court can rest easy for the time being. One Anxi court can support it, and adding another Nanyang is already reluctant, and there can be no more
Therefore, if my son can go to sea, but if the goal is to conquer Japan, I am afraid that it will not be possible in my lifetime."

After listening to Liu Yun's statement, Emperor Liu stood in a daze for a long time before he came to his senses and said bitterly: "Even you use the word "lifetime", what about me?"

In fact, Emperor Liu could hear the meaning behind Liu Yun's words.First, conquering Japan was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and a waste of national power. He didn't understand it, and the subjects probably wouldn't understand it either. You must know that Japan has always been respectful to the big man in these years, paying tribute with courtesy, and arriving on time every year. There is a shortage and negligence, and the dispatch of Han envoys comes one after another, so it is almost like a filial father.

Second, even if the annexation of Japan is the goal, it will require a long-term and huge investment from the court. This is difficult to guarantee. Emperor Liu can persist stubbornly, and others cannot resist, but what about him?Needless to say, the conservative power of the big man is too strong. If he can't form a spontaneous sense of external expansion, then there is a high probability that he will die.

By Liu Yang?Emperor Liu's understanding is that it is enough to be conservative and insufficient to develop. Emperor Liu's understanding of the prince now is not whether he is satisfied with his heart, but whether he is suitable for this empire.Emperor Liu knew that during his administration in recent years, he had made many mistakes and left behind many sequelae, all of which needed to be alleviated by his successors, what the big man needed was a conservative successor.

And if the strength of the Han Dynasty is exhausted to attack Japan, I believe that the powerful capabilities of the navy and army soldiers of the Han Dynasty will be enough to defeat the enemy and occupy the country.But then what?
What about Anxi?What about Nanyang?Compared with the vast treasure lands in Nanyang, little Japan is nothing.
