In today's world, the word 'family' is far more intimidating than the imperial power. In any state or county where aristocratic families are entrenched, any imperial power, royal laws, justice, and justice are all fed to the dogs. Where they are, they are The king's law is justice.
What's even more frightening is that since the twenty-eight aristocratic families brought trouble to the capital sixteen years ago and triggered the "Sky Demon Case", the imperial power has lost control of the aristocratic families. They are like kites with broken strings. Like the princes, they danced around in their respective territories. The common people attached themselves to the small aristocratic families, and the small aristocrats attached to the big aristocratic families. It snowballed and the aristocratic families, such as the Liu family in Lingyuan and the Jiang family in Quzhou, were like the green grass in the pasture. It can be seen that the national strength of the Han Empire is difficult to gather, and it has been riddled with holes.
After the Tianyao Case, a group of radical young talents such as Liu Quansheng and Saibei Li who surrounded the emperor Liu Yan were not tolerated by the world's noble families and began to scatter around the empire. Liu Yan learned from the painful experience and asked his mentor Lu Zheng to come out and change the situation. He adopted a tough attitude and adopted a "low fire and slow cooking" policy towards the world's noble families. After sixteen years of suffering, he finally curbed the arrogance of the noble families and made them huddle within one area.
However, even so, the imperial power still cannot reach all directions, and the word 'family' is still a sensitive word. People who make irresponsible remarks about these two words will often not end well if word spreads.
This was also the biggest reason why Xun Ruoteng was hesitant to speak. He was afraid that Huan Wen would make trouble out of his mouth and get burned. Then he thought about it, this is the private place where His Royal Highness the Prince has secret meetings. It is extremely hidden. Everyone here is also the Prince's confidant. Here ,nature
He could speak freely, and besides, he didn't want to interrupt Huan Wen's eloquent speech for fear of hurting the friendship between the two.
Therefore, Xun Ruoteng only moved his lips and then stayed there, like an old monk in meditation and stopped talking.
As the current crown prince and the only son of the emperor, Liu Huai had no scruples and naturally spoke freely. He had no insight into Xun Ruoteng's psychological dynamics and said without thinking, "To say that the happiest family in the world is naturally fighting with The Fanggu Zhao family is facing off against the Quzhou Jiang family!"
Just as Liu Huai finished speaking, Huan Wen blurted out the words of praise, "Your Highness is brilliant and intelligent, with a discerning eye for truth. In time, he will be a wise king!"
Liu Huai was complacent and waved his hand gently to Huan Wen to show humility.
At this time, Ran Min couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing. He was about to mock Huan Wen for being a "master of flattery" when he saw Liu Huai cast an unhappy look. He knew that he had lost his composure and had an idea. As soon as he moved, he quickly waved his hand and said calmly, "I am truly pleased with His Highness's achievements!"
Liu Huai pouted, looked at Huan Wen, and motioned for him to continue talking.
Huan Wen understood. He cleared his throat and continued, "Quzhou covers most of the six kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei in the ancient Central Plains. No matter in terms of economy, culture, politics and heritage, Quzhou is ours." Dahan deserves to be the number one state.”
"At the beginning of His Majesty's succession, Jiang Feng took advantage of the transition of central power and took the opportunity to break the chaotic situation in Quzhou where the eight aristocratic families were leading the 'dance of demons'. He defeated Taihao City in one battle, killed ten thousand people, and became the leader of Quzhou in one fell swoop. In the past few years, His Majesty was busy purging the court.
The court had no time to care about the place, and the Jiang family was wreaking havoc on his one-third of an acre of land, unscrupulously. If Liu Quansheng hadn't killed his relatives three years ago, he killed the Lingyuan Liu family in Lingyuan City, and restrained the Jiang family from moving north. The momentum of development, I'm afraid today's Jiang Group has already lost its momentum! "
There was a sigh of sadness from the audience.
However, there was no expression on Huan Wen's face that lamented the king's unhappiness. Instead, he showed extreme confidence. He danced his sleeves, stood up and said loudly, "No one who is not the Liu family can be king! This is the rule set by Emperor Gaozu at that time. From then on, From Wang Mang's chaos to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, anyone who dares to violate this rule will die without a burial place!"
Although this sentence has no substantive meaning, it is extremely inspiring.
Especially Ran Min. Although he was also from a noble family, he hated the noble family very much. But when he saw him, he couldn't help but stand up, raised his wine and shouted, "What a death without a burial place, good! Good! Good!"
Huan Wen drank freely and said to Liu Huai with great arrogance, "Jiang Feng's ambition to become the king of Quzhou has become clear. If His Highness can lead troops to Taihao City to fight against Jiang Feng during the confrontation between Jiang and Zhao, , or concentrate our strength to restrain the Jiang family, and once the Jiang family is dead, the merits of 'putting down the chaos in the Central Plains' will be enough to make His Highness's name go down in history!"
Liu Huai put his hands on his hands and laughed, "Hahaha! Okay! What a great fame."
Yan Wen put down the wine bottle, his eyes showed the wolf's fine light, and he fingred away in the distance with one hand. If you hold office in the county, this land of Quzhou where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon will be in the hands of His Highness from now on. And Your Highness can borrow the land of Quzhou
, take advantage of the thousands of miles long wind, spread your wings and soar! "
Liu Huai was the first to applaud and shouted excitedly, "It is my unparalleled contribution to quelling the chaos in Yizhou! Hahaha!" () ()
Just as Liu Huai was dancing, Wang Biaozhi, who had been silent for a long time, stood up. Seeing his frown, he said, "The Jiang family is in great power at the moment and has unrivaled military prowess. Even he is known for his bravery." The Zhao family in Fanggu can only retreat. Which one of the emperor's twelve internal guards does Captain Huan think he can pull out and make a fuss with the Jiang family?"
Wang Biaozhi, who had witnessed the power of the Jiang family's troops, was still frightened when he thought of the roaring tigers and lions of the Jiang family. His words suddenly became hysterical, and he said loudly, "I have millions of soldiers, but why haven't I had any troops for many years?" Isn't it because the soldiers are in serious trouble because our Emperor Shenwu set the rule that "soldiers and horses cannot cross the border"? Jiang Feng's Fanggu Army. As the name suggests, this army can only make trouble in Fanggu County. Jiang Feng keeps tossing, but in the end He is just a stinky fish in Fanggu County who dare not cross the line. To put it bluntly, the Jiang and Zhao families are just two families of ignorant children fighting. But if the emperor's internal guards are involved, the current situation in Quzhou will change. It tastes bad! Master Huan, have you ever thought about this?"
Wang Biaozhi paused and continued, "Besides, Jiang Feng went there under the guise of 'supervising the troops is unfavorable and government affairs are difficult', and he has steadily gained great righteousness. If you want to cause trouble for him, this is not possible." It gives people a reason to rebel! What if, if things go wrong and Jiang Feng really raises the banner and declares himself king, wouldn't we be sinners?"
"Ha! Great righteousness? Wang Sizhi doesn't understand righteousness. Don't you understand?
Is it popular? "
Literary ministers looked down upon each other. Huan Wen had always been arrogant. When he saw someone refuting, he immediately showed a look of displeasure. He shook his sleeves, unfolded his robe sleeves, and flung out one sleeve to make a whirring sound. Then, he looked at Wang Biao with disdain. Then, he mocked, "The world has decided that it will be forty years, and a generation has not passed. Jiang Feng is going to stir up trouble again. Shouldn't we get rid of these rebellious ministers and then hurry up? Humph! What? Mr. Wang During the trip eastward the year before last, were you scared out of your wits by Jiang Feng?"
Wang Biaozhi was naturally not a man without courage. He knew that he could not argue. He turned his head and ignored Huan Wen. He drank by himself and muttered, "Anyway, I don't agree to deal with the Jiang family. The leader is the rafter." Let’s make chaos first, let’s not act rashly and ruin His Highness’s bright future. Let me tell you! Instead of plotting a game in Quzhou that may not necessarily win, it’s better to go to the border and find a soft persimmon to pinch!”
Liu Huai was not a fool. He heard something in Wang Biao's words. He rolled his eyes and thought deeply: The Jiang family's military strength and morale were at its peak, not to mention the eight major families in Quzhou who were ready to make a move. Even his own father was still there. In a wait-and-see state, if you take action rashly, you may not be able to catch the fish but get a fishy mess. It is better to find a weakling to pick it up!
After thinking about it, Liu Huai looked at Wang Biaozhi intently and said with a smile, "Wang Sizhi, do you have any good ideas?"
Before Wang Biaozhi could answer, Ran Min replied carelessly, "I know Wang Sizhong's idea. The so-called four directions of heaven and earth are called the universe, and the past and present are called the universe. Those old guys from the Yin and Yang family divided the universe into nine continents. I, the Han Dynasty, occupy Central Continent exclusively. Outside of Central Continent, there is Da Qin in the north, Piao Yue in the south, and Piao Yue in the west.
The domain includes sixty-one kingdoms in the north and south, and in the east there are Goguryeo and the wild Japanese slave kingdom. "
When Ran Min said this, he glanced at Wang Biaozhi secretly and saw that he was not angry, so he continued slowly, "Among them, Daqin and Piaonan are facing each other in the north and south. No matter who I hit, it will cause a war." It is an unparalleled battle, so it is absolutely untouchable. In recent years, Dahong Yinhao and Daqin Dafu Lingqiang Wang have been fighting with each other, using coercion and inducement, and finally won the support of most countries in the southern part of the Western Region. Currently, we, Dahan and Daqin, are fighting The Western Region is equally divided, and this bowl of water should never be tilted unless absolutely necessary. Hehe!"
Having said this, Ran Min cut off a large piece of beef, chewed it, and looked at Liu Huai with a smile.
Wang Biaozhi also looked at Liu Huai intently. He wanted to know whether Liu Huai, with his qualifications, could guess what Ran Min was saying.
Liu Huai lowered his head for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, as if he had an epiphany. He couldn't help but let out a soft 'Ah', and said with a smile, "Are they Goguryeo and the Wonu Kingdom? The weak persimmons Wang Sizhi said are Goguryeo and the Wonu Kingdom!" "
Ran Min laughed and said, "Your Highness, Holy Ming!"
Wang Biaozhi nodded and praised, "King Gao Zhao of Goguryeo has been dishonest in recent years! He has been hiding in the woods to train his troops, rebuilding Wandu City, secretly surrendering traitors of the Han Dynasty, and secretly sending envoys to the north. After visiting the Qin Dynasty, all the signs show that Gao Zhao, this little brother, is determined to unite with the Qin Dynasty to plot against our Han people!"
"Before, General Taibai Mo Jingchun led troops to raid Goguryeo and forcibly demolished Wandu City. However, Changshui Guards responded in return. Gao Zhao is still determined to return to his old capital! Hey, if at this moment, His Highness can convince His Majesty to command the Eastern Territory Wuji, Wuning and Taibai armies
Attacking Goguryeo and weakening its spirit. Wouldn't this battle to destroy a country be more enjoyable than destroying an entire clan? Isn't his merit greater than that of annihilating a whole clan? "
When Liu Huai heard the words "War to Destroy the Country", he was completely moved.
