Han Shizu

Chapter 1910 Open Talk

After Emperor Liu's words fell, the nobles all showed surprise. Emperor Liu had made such a "promise" to many people in the past, but he had never made it on such an occasion.The people present, covering almost half of the nobles of the big man, said it in front of everyone, which should be meant to comfort people's hearts.

However, the effect was very poor. This not only did not make them feel at ease, but also made people feel overwhelmed. After all, Emperor Liu was also a master who hid his sword with a smile. Wrong, harm others and yourself, regret for life.

However, many people still realized that what Emperor Liu wanted to say next was the real business.And looking at the dignified faces of the nobles, with eyes full of suspicion, Emperor Liu sighed silently. When he told the truth, no one would believe it?

Rejecting Liu Yang's support, he sat down slowly with a bamboo stick, looked at Han, Pan, Shi, Yang and others who were in the front, and Emperor Liu said in a calm tone: "You are all big men. I have always regarded the meritorious officials as brothers and nephews, and there are no outsiders present, so let me speak truthfully!"

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, the group of people cheered up again to listen. Emperor Liu raised his head slightly and said in a sad tone: "I can more or less understand your grievances. I am the emperor, but there are some things that I can empathize with you.

In the past, the biggest dissatisfaction in your hearts was probably the downgrading of titles to hereditary.Many of you feel that the Juelu succession system I established is too strict, even harsh.

Since ancient times, how can there be rewards for meritorious officials, and so many rules and regulations have to be set up, which is not smooth at all, and it can be said to be extremely stingy.Most of you reject and even panic about the imperial court's succession system of titles and salaries. You are afraid that after a few generations, your descendants will already be reduced to civilians, and you are also afraid of some accidents that will lead to the severance of inheritance.

I say that I will live with the country, but what I do, it seems that I want to knock you out of the mundane world and treat you like those gangsters."

"The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking, many of you have had such thoughts!" Emperor Liu opened his mouth, but he couldn't stop, raised his hand and pointed back, and said: "It is the hero who is enshrined in the Pavilion of Heroes." Many of them have had such thoughts and emotions, I know them all, I can see them clearly, and of course, I can understand them!"

"I also admit that the rules set in the nobility system are a bit strict, and there are too many restrictions! You, the heroes and old friends who have gone through wind and rain with me, and have come all the way, are indebted.

However, there are some things that I have to do. As the Son of Heaven, I should not only consider my family, but also all the common people in the world. Together with you, I will end the chaos and separatism, unify the universe, and lay down the glorious and peaceful world today. !
Establishing a country is hard-won, and it really needs to be cherished. In order for this peaceful time to last longer, I have to plan ahead and do more consideration and preparation! "

"These words may sound high-sounding, and even a bit hypocritical, so let me talk about something more real! What I want to establish is a healthy, sustainable system of juelu inheritance that can truly benefit the country. , what I want is a group of country cornerstones who are aggressive, full of ambition, and never give up, rather than mediocre and mediocre children who will only rest on their laurels!
Merit, honor, power, and status are earned by your parents and grandparents through their hard work. It is right to shelter you, but it does not mean that you can enjoy them forever with peace of mind.

This may be a bit harsh, but ask yourself, is there any reason?There are so many people present, so many families, how many of them are innocent, well-behaved, and peaceful?

In these years, have there been fewer incidents and troubles caused by Xungui's children?If it’s just to breed right and wrong, that’s all. I don’t know if you have forgotten the things that steal the country and officials, bully the emperor and harm the people, fish and meat the people, and even carelessly ignore human lives, but I can remember them clearly one by one!shocking!Appalling!It is not a pity to die! "

When he said this, Emperor Liu remained calm, but Senhan's tone made the temperature in the hall seem to drop a few degrees, and every word was like a sharp knife piercing the honorable heart.

Looking around, Emperor Liu continued to speak what he believed to be the "truth": "I regard you as the cornerstone of the country. The stability of the country and the continuation of the country need you to maintain and consolidate. You are the foundation of our country. My own people in my eyes. But it is precisely because of this that I have to strictly demand you. If you degenerate, then the big man will be in danger!
In order to reward you for your achievements, I have given you fame, benefits, and even privileges. This is what you deserve, but it does not mean that you can act recklessly and unscrupulously with the court's grace! "

Emperor Liu's spout made everyone present tremble with fear, even Yang Ye, who had a clear conscience, couldn't help shrinking his head and frowning, constantly introspecting whether he had committed a crime.
The ministers bowed their heads, and Emperor Liu calmed down, and said again: "The title of a great man is based on military merit. This cannot be shaken. In the past, it was about helping those in need and helping those in need, and dominating the world. .

Now that the world is peaceful, there are few rivals around the big man, and there is no room for you to fight. You can let the horse go to Nanshan and enjoy the prosperity. This is what most people think.

But let me say one more thing, from the beginning of the breeding and spreading of such thoughts, it is the beginning of your degeneration!I have taught you more than once that this world is vast, far beyond Kyushu, and the land outside is vast enough for you to gallop and make meritorious deeds.However, those who listen to it, are willing to endure hardships and work hard, there are really too few! "

At this point, Emperor Liu finally began to reveal his intentions: "For the past 20 years, I have been thinking about a problem, such as the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, why can't escape a result of destruction? It's only been 40 years, how many years can the national fortune last, a hundred years? Two hundred? Or three hundred?
Every time I think about it, I am often terrified, to the point where I don’t eat or drink, and I seek the root cause, and finally come up with an answer that is right or wrong.The decline of the dynasties in the past dynasties often cannot escape several reasons, the monarch is faint and the ministers are mediocre, the civil and military are busy, the officialdom is corrupt, and the people are in dire straits.
But there is only one fundamental reason, that is, the common people in the world can't live anymore. They have no land to cultivate, no clothes to wear, no food to eat, so they have to rise up and fight for their lives. The people all over the world resisted. Can not die?
However, what caused these, is the royal family, the nobles, the bureaucrats, the landlords, and the disabled people are too ruthless!Too much abuse!I set up so many systems, originally intending to restrain you through rules, but after so many years, the effect is not great.

What should happen is still happening inevitably, so many corrupt officials have been killed, and so many old stories of honored children have been dealt with, but how much of a warning is there, and how has it ever been remembered in people's hearts? "

"If it were the same as in the past, I would have a heart of hatred to clean up the dirt in the whole world, so that the world would be truly peaceful and clear!" Emperor Liu said with a slight twilight look on his face, "But I After all, I am old, and I can't move anymore!
After thinking about it, I can only think of such a solution that is not a solution!If your greed is unstoppable, instead of using it in the country, use it on those ordinary people, it is better to go outside, go outside, let you do whatever you want, I don't care, and the court doesn't care!
The imperial edict to seal the country has been issued, and you all know the content. Anyone who wants to be promoted, who wants to be promoted, or who wants to make a fortune, can go. I have no restrictions.In the past, when your fathers and ancestors followed me to fight the world, they fought for me. Now, you should be yourselves. I will give the kings the right to entrust all the kings. Houses and property belong to you.

My only request is that you can be gentler to the people of the Li people of the big Han, and have more compassion and compassion."
