Han Shizu

After meeting the old emperor again, Liu Wenyuan began to officially assume the identity of King Anton. This was not something to be happy about, because it was originally his.

Not only regret and loss, but also a sense of guilt because he lost his father's title... At the same time, he also had a deep sense of powerlessness. He had just started working hard, but before it started working, the result was already decided. .

Liu Wenyuan has always been a "successful person", which seems to have been destined since his birth. The eldest grandson of the emperor, the legitimate son of King Qin, and the Anton Crown were eager to wear it on his head. From childhood to adulthood, everything went smoothly, and he rarely encountered encounter difficulties and setbacks.

Similarly, like his father, he has been a loser since birth.For the same reason, there is a limit to his growth, which is lower than that of his father. If there were no accidents, he would never have the opportunity to see the peak scenery in the world.

As for this, up to this moment, Liu Wenyuan only felt it a little bit, but did not really realize it.

When he came to Beijing this time, Liu Wenyuan was really educated.Little cleverness can lead to great achievements, and the scheming hidden under Emperor Liu's kind and kind face is not something he can speculate on and exploit.

Not long after he took office, he also tasted the taste of royal power for the first time. Although due to qualifications, prestige and other reasons, he was far from reaching the level of Liu Xu and others in Anton, the king was the king. In Anton, Liu Wenyuan was "upright and upright." "This word has a new level of understanding, which is addictive.

Like Liu Xu, or even earlier than him, Liu Wenyuan also had the same question in his mind, or in other words, if he could control Anton like this, what would it be like to rule the Han Dynasty?
I am afraid that only the old emperor can answer this question at the moment, but no matter how confident Liu Wenyuan is, he dare not directly ask such a question.

The addiction to being a king has just begun, but before the journey in Xijing is over, there is a setback.Liu Wenyuan thought that his vision was not limited by the corner of the Andong Kingdom, but when he stepped into the center of power of the Han Empire on behalf of Anton, and when that kind of faint rejection came, Liu Wenyuan realized that the capital of the Han Empire was really not what it was today. Where he is like a fish in water, he is far from being able to play around.
Perhaps because he was more vigilant, Liu Wenyuan did not dare to wander anymore when he met the saint again. He seemed restrained and cautious, at least on the surface.

Compared with the first time he came to Beijing, the scene this time was more formal. It was no longer a grandfather to his grandson, but the emperor to his subjects. It was Liu Wenyuan who formally thanked Emperor Liu as King Andong and at the same time stated himself to him. concepts of governance and the policies that will be implemented in Anton.

Liu Wenyuan has maintained a conservative attitude and tried not to reveal his high-spirited style. However, the style of more than 20 years cannot be corrected in just a few days.

Therefore, even though Liu Wenyuan focused his report on the consolidation and continuation of Liu Xu's existing policies, his expression still inevitably revealed some of his grand ideas.

That's right, a grand idea, one that is too big for Anton to bear, an ideal that requires continued support from the court, or in other words, ambition!
"Young people are young people, very motivated!" Liu Wenyuan's respectfulness seemed to be a different person. Emperor Liu looked at him and said calmly: "It's just that it's difficult to develop Anton to be on par with Liaodong Road. It’s not small!”

Not to mention anything else, Liu Wenyuan clearly put forward a long-term goal, to lead the army and people of Anton to catch up with the development of Liaodong.Regarding Liu Wenyuan's goal, Emperor Liu only had four words to evaluate him: young and energetic.

At the same time, I also felt that Liu Wenyuan was a bit whimsical.Although Liaodong and Anton are close neighbors, there is a huge gap between them in terms of various conditions.

Let me just say that after Emperor Liu made the strategic national policy of developing the Northeast, the imperial court tilted its policies toward the Northeast. In the past 20 years, a large amount of political, economic, and military resources have been invested in the vast Northeast region, of which [-]% In Anton, [-]% of them are in Liaodong.

This is only official, but among the people, regardless of business people, at least [-]% of those who want to enter the Northeast are heading to Liaodong.After all, Liaodong far exceeds Anton in terms of natural environment and development maturity. How long will it take for Anton to truly usher in large-scale development?Liaodong is also rich in various agricultural, animal husbandry, fishery and hunting resources.

In the past few years, in the Lianghe and Yanbei areas, there has been a wave of "passing through the Guandong". Among them, Anton's attraction, Liaodong's attraction, and the support of the imperial court. Northeast", something that was drafted in the strategic decision-making, the big man under the reign of Emperor Liu still worked hard to make some achievements.

Most of those who choose to "break through Guandong" end up in Liaodong. After all, the further north you go, the higher the dimension, the worse the climate conditions, the ethnic composition is more complex, and the pressure from border relations is heavier.

Many people in the court only saw that during the nearly 20 years when Liu Xu was in power, Anton continued to suck the blood of the imperial court and the blood of the inner regions, but Liaodong received obviously greater strategic support from the imperial court.But there is no way. Who taught Anton that the person in charge was Liu Xu, the King of Qin of the Han Dynasty, and the eldest son of Emperor Liu. He was doomed to be treated with double standards on certain occasions. It was also doomed that some people were selectively blind. Regarding some issues, Put aside the facts
Against this background and under such realistic conditions, a young man suddenly ran up to Emperor Liu, sat down and discussed with him, and confidently stated that he wanted to catch up with Liaodong.
This is no longer confident or arrogant. To say he is young and energetic is an extremely euphemistic expression.

Liu Wenyuan was naturally aware of the doubts in the old emperor's words, but he was not panicked at all. He just responded calmly: "I know in my heart that this goal is huge and difficult to achieve, but I am already determined. , try our best, carry forward the spirit, follow the legacy of our late father, and develop Andong."

Liu Wenyuan still couldn't help but use Liu Xu to "deal with" the old emperor, but this trick didn't seem to be very effective. The old emperor said calmly: "You express your determination to me, but it is of little use!"

Liu Wenyuan looked a little embarrassed, but he met the old emperor's gaze, hesitated for a moment, and still raised his hands and said: "I know that Anton's strength alone is far from enough. Therefore, I sincerely request the imperial court to provide some support as appropriate."

This may be the real purpose of Liu Wenyuan's visit to Beijing. As a vassal state, it is almost natural to ask for benefits from the imperial clan. Although Liu Wenyuan has just established his identity, he seems to have already possessed this instinct.

Hearing what he said, Emperor Liu grinned slightly and said: "Logically speaking, since you are the new inheritor and my eldest grandson, you should express yourself from the perspective of the court or the elders.

However, the matter involves Anton's policy. Long before we sealed the country, I had already made a decision with your father. The court will abide by the original agreement and everything will be in accordance with the established system. Anton should be content! "

"His Majesty."

Emperor Liu's answer was obviously not what Liu Wenyuan had expected. Considering the old emperor's generosity to Anton, he would not have lost everything.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he noticed the old emperor's stern gaze, as if to say: Do you want to bargain with me?

Liu Wenyuan's heart sank slightly, he paused and thought for a moment, then bowed his hands and said: "The biggest constraint on the development of Anton is still its population."

Probably afraid of Emperor Liu's direct rejection, Liu Wenyuan spoke with a bit of urgency, and spoke his thoughts quickly: "It is already difficult to immigrate to Daozhou in the Central Plains. I intend to recruit men and women from Goryeo, Japan and other countries to work in Andong to supplement the supply. Insufficient labor, hope”

The old emperor's reaction was once again beyond his expectation, and there was even strong oppression in his eyes: "No!"

Liu Wenyuan left the palace full of disappointment. When the driver drove on the Tianjin Bridge across Luoshui, he stopped the charioteer. Liu Wenyuan stood on the shaft of the car and looked back at the majestic palace city. The gray color on his young face had faded away. Quite a few.

There was still a look of reluctance in his eyes, but his gaze became more determined.

In the Chui Gong Hall, after the interview with Liu Wenyuan, Emperor Liu asked Zhang Bin to compile and submit the intelligence on secret lines of the Andong Kingdom.

Taking the results that Liu Xu had spent half his life working on, combined with Liu Wenyuan's performance, the old emperor fell into deep thinking.
