"this......"
Shen Tujia was originally watching a play, but he never expected that when the play was in full swing, he was suddenly taken out by the emperor.
Seeing Liu Deng's determined eyes, Shen Tujia didn't really know what to say for a moment.
The survivors of the previous dynasty, these four words are really too sensitive. Although the current emperor is said to be a rare and merciful king, when it comes to the word "previous dynasty", it is really hard to talk about this matter.
"The Prime Minister has something to say, but please say it directly without hesitation. Even if you say something wrong, I will not blame you."
Seeing Shen Tujia's hesitation, the emperor spoke again.
"Your Majesty, I think that since Your Majesty has said it before and His Majesty is willing to use his countless military exploits in exchange for His Majesty's pardon for these righteous men, why doesn't His Majesty show the beauty of a man?"
Shen Tujia considered his words and then said.
"The Prime Minister also thinks that this matter can be done? If they are allowed to return to their place, wouldn't the Prime Minister be worried about them raising their flags to cause chaos?"
There was still no trace of emotion in the emperor's words.
"Your Majesty, I, a great man, have been practicing kingship in the world for nearly a hundred years. During these hundred years, although there have been occasional treacherous people who have caused trouble, the vast majority of the people in this world have been loyal to my great man. Even if they have the intention to cause trouble, I am afraid that , this flag of rebellion has not even been raised yet, it has already been taken to the government by the villagers!"
Shen Tujia saluted the emperor solemnly, and then spoke.
"Prince Liang, what do you think?"
The emperor nodded silently, seemingly a little moved, and then looked at Prince Liang who was standing aside.
"Father, I think that even if there are treacherous people who take the initiative to seduce them, they will not rebel again. After all, they have been fighting on the grassland for decades. If I want them again, this will Even though the whole world is huge, I’m afraid there is no place for them anymore.”
"That makes sense! If that's the case, then I will take back what I just said and grant Liu Deng's request!"
After saying this, the emperor looked at Liu Deng with a gentle look in his eyes again.
After the war, it is reasonable to reward people based on their merits.
But even if it is his own flesh and blood, the emperor is now worried that they will lose their tail in many years.
After all, he has witnessed too many betrayals over the years. He was born in a conspiracy. If he had not been protected by Empress Dowager Bo, he would have died of Empress Lu's poison.
Although he has a pure nature, after sitting on this chair, he cannot help but think evil thoughts about people.
In the whole world, there is only one position for this emperor. Now that he sits on this supreme position, he has to worry about being the enemy of the whole world.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Deng also let out a long breath and finally turned down the reward.
Although all the ministers in the palace looked strange now, Liu Deng knew this thing in his heart, it was a life-threatening charm.
It was not only due to political considerations, but more importantly, Liu Deng still knew some anecdotes about the Han Dynasty.
Apart from the fact that Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was bitten by a big snake when his mother was pregnant with him, the biggest one was the curse of the State of Zhao.
But no one who becomes King Zhao will die well in the end!
The first King of Zhao was Zhang Er. He died after being King of Zhao for 5 years.
Next was his son, who lost his mind and assassinated Liu Bang within two years of becoming King of Zhao, and then was demoted to the rank of Marquis of Xuanping.
The third King of Zhao was Liu Bang's son Liu Ruyi. Not only was he ruined, but he even made his mother a pig!
Next, the fourth King of Zhao, Liu You, the original King of Huainan, was reported by his wife before he took office, and was starved to death by Empress Lu.
The fifth King of Zhao was Liu Hui, the previous King of Liang. The death of this unlucky guy was even more tragic. After Empress Lu helped him become King of Zhao, she married him a daughter of the Lu family.
But how can this woman from the Lu family be so easy to marry? Ever since she married, she has been extremely domineering. As long as the woman Liu Hui likes, she has never survived beyond the second day.
After only four months, Liu Hui couldn't hold on anymore, and finally committed suicide in shame and anger. Empress Lu was even more angry and even deprived his son of his inheritance rights.
The sixth King of Zhao was originally considering the current Emperor Liu Heng. If it weren't for Empress Dowager Bo who tried so hard to reject him, there might not have been the current Emperor Wen of Han.
Seeing Liu Heng evading him in every possible way, Queen Lu was so angry that she directly gave up the position of King Zhao to his nephew Lu Lu.
Although Lu Lu did not rush to Handan to take office, this curse seemed to follow him. Not long after Lu Lu's death, this boy actually took the initiative to hand over military power.
After he handed over the military power, not long after, Zhou Bo and Chen Ping launched a coup to pacify Zhu Lu, and this kid was killed.
Then there was Liu Sui, the 7th King of Zhao. Liu Sui was even worse. He died in the hands of Liu Deng...
Handan is a very evil place. Some things can be taken and some things cannot be taken. The current land area of Dai State is enough for him to deal with.
Then again, except for Handan City, most of the places the emperor granted him were now empty.
To resume production, in addition to huge manpower and material resources, it will take at least three to five years.
It will take at least ten to fifteen years to reach the old outlook, if history has not shifted too much.
His Highness the Crown Prince, who is about to take office, will only reign for 16 years.
After the Eternal Emperor came to power, due to the protagonist's halo, no one who opposed him had a good ending.
I worked hard to manage the place and train the army, but in the end everyone got the advantage of that kid. Instead of working hard and getting the advantage of others in the end, it would be better for me to stay calmly.
Being a Daiguo is enough for him, and he really doesn't want to add any burden to himself.
"You guys are really a little different from others. After others have achieved military exploits, they are eager to get more fiefdoms and more rewards, but you, this guy, push away the rewards that come to you. It's really interesting. .”
"Your Majesty, my ability is really limited. It is already exhausting my efforts to lead the people of Dai Kingdom. No matter how big this place is, I really can't manage it!"
Hearing that the emperor's tone softened, Liu Deng breathed a sigh of relief and started telling lies with his eyes open.
Anyway, he has been practicing it for a while, and it seems that he feels good about telling lies with his eyes open.
"You kid! You have made such a great contribution, so you can't go without reward! I think this is good. You are getting married soon, so I will reward you without any hesitation. Don't refuse!"
In any case, Liu Deng's contribution this time is really too great, even if this boy took the initiative to refuse all the generous rewards given by the emperor.
However, the emperor cannot pretend that this matter has not happened and just go down the slope.
After all, there are countless generals and commanders waiting behind Liu Deng!
If Liu Deng were not rewarded, how could the remaining people dare to take the rewards from the emperor?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The hometown of Bu Qi?
Liu Deng still hasn't figured out where Bu Qi's hometown is, but since it is a princely state, it shouldn't be too barren, right?
