The world's heroes come out of our generation, and the years rush them as soon as they enter the world.
As an ambitious emperor, Liu Yan's greatest advantage is his perseverance.
Today, he has inherited the throne for nearly twenty years. In the past twenty years, he has failed, suffered, been frustrated, and melancholy. He has been betrayed by his relatives and betrayed by his ministers. In order to regain power, he has done whatever. All methods have been used, but the only thing I haven't thought about is giving up.
This character of never being discouraged is very similar to that of Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei.
More than 150 years ago, Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei was still a teenager. He became a disciple of Lu Zhi and later participated in suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising. Due to his limited strength, Liu Bei repeatedly failed in his entrepreneurial ventures during the melee between princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He successively relied on Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and other princes. However, because they always adhered to the code of conduct of persuading people with virtue, they were respected by celebrities from all over the world. Tao Qian and Liu Biao stated that they would not let their sons inherit the foundation, and instead chose to give up their territories of Xuzhou and Jingzhou to Liu Bei. Through his unremitting efforts, Liu Bei successively captured Jingzhou and Yizhou after the Battle of Chibi and established the Shu Han regime.
It was this indestructible and resolute character that gave Liu Bei the posthumous title of 'Zhao Lie' after his death.
It is this resolute character that has been passed down from generation to generation that has made Liu Yan's journey up to where he is today.
Today's Liu Yan is far from the puppet emperor who was manipulated by others more than ten years ago. He has a powerful force of twelve internal guards of the emperor. All the ministers in the capital surrender to him, and nearly 60% of the governors and governors of Kyushu He is the loyal and good minister he has installed over the years. As long as those powerful families like the Jiang family in Quzhou fall, he will be the real emperor who rules the world.
Of course, just being the king of the Han Empire is far from enough, and it is far from the end of his ambition.
After integrating the country, he would rely on the Sky Sword, bend the sun bow, mobilize the power of the whole country, send his troops north to attack the Qin Dynasty, and fight all the way to the Dead Sea of Beiming in the far north, completely destroying this huge empire built on the grassland. Complete genocide.
He wanted to march westward and unify the countries in the north and south of the Western Region, so that the entire Western Region would only speak and write in Chinese from now on.
He wanted to send his troops south to annihilate Piao Yue, build a palace on the bank of the South China Sea, and come here every year to write poems by the sea.
He wants to explore the Japanese country eastward, he wants to go to sea to find the elixir of immortality, he wants the king's laws to be pure and harmonious, and the punishments to be ignored, to create a prosperous age through the ages. He wants to make everything as far as the eye can see Han land, and he wants to make all the land in the world and Haiyang, both named Liu.
This is Liu Yan's ambition, his monstrous ambition.
But now, all the heroes in the world are in my arms, which is the first step towards his eternal hegemony and eternal fame.
After thinking deeply, Liu Yan swept across the crowd of ministers. It can be said that they were all handsome and gathered together, and he was even more satisfied.
The five princes and twelve ministers were born, and the prime minister Lu Zheng was his master. He planned to compete with Zhang Liang, who was unparalleled in the world;
General Tao Kan, a loyal and brave champion, an unparalleled general, getting stronger with age, known as 'Tao Qiansheng';
Xie Pe, the imperial censor, inherited the ancient style and was the leader of the eight famous aristocratic families in Quzhou. His poetry was clear and graceful, his calligraphy was spiritual, and his articles were very beautiful and meaningful. He was the crown of the world's literary elite;
Taichang Huangfu Chixing, the great-great-grandson of Huangfu Song, a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and a disciple of Tao Kan. He had noble ambitions, abided by the ancient times, and was the first of the twelve ministers;
Guang Luxun Yin Xian, a meritorious minister in the Qin-Han War, was extremely intelligent, slightly greedy for money, and was known as a filial son;
Wei Wei Chang Xia, who has been in the officialdom for a long time but is alone, has a clean family background, is brave and loyal;
Tai servant Wang Shu, the grandson of Dezhao Wang Zhan, the son of Wang Cheng, the first famous scholar in the Central Plains, relied on the influence of the original Dezhao Wang family to become an official, lived in poverty and kept his promises, did not seek fame and position, was open-minded, and was a member of the eight major families in Quzhou;
Ting Wei Liu Zun, decisive in killing, talented in both vertical and horizontal directions, capable of conquering mountains and seas;
Da Honglu Yin Shao, a man of far-sighted knowledge, clear-mindedness, rich reputation, fond of "Laozi" and "Book of Changes", good at talking, able to calculate, and fair in dealing with things;
Zongzhong Zhongrong is loyal and honest, and must do everything by himself;
Shen Xiyan, the great farmer, is dull and not good at words, and he is a master of farming;
Shaofu Zhao Yuyuan
, the Fanggu Zhao family is a great talent, upright and knowledgeable, informal and good at government affairs;
Grand Master Zhu Chuo, the head of the Zhu clan in Liuzhou, the leader of the four Gu, Lu, Zhang and Zhu clans, and the most prominent figure in the Liangyi Academy. He was a well-educated Confucian who gathered the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and was an old scholar;
He always guards Qingteng, and is angry with the Qing family for abandoning his son. Except for the Moh family, no one in the world can surpass him in organ skills;
Liu Chengyu, the director of the Financial Judgment Department, is a member of the royal family. He is as timid as a mouse but has mediocre talents. He is the person I trust the most.
The Five Dukes and Twelve Ministers, except for the lieutenants who are waiting for their positions and the governors who are not used in wartime, the rest are all ministers of the king. They are a reliable force that is absolutely loyal to Liu Yan. The superstructure reacts on the economic foundation. With this solid central group of ministers , Liu Yan believes that his great cause of reducing the family will be realized within ten years.
Ten years later, I will be in my fifties, which is my prime year. At that time, I will go to rein in the northern frontier and slaughter all the people of Qin. Is it a happy start?
Thinking of this, Liu Yan stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and said with a chuckle to His Royal Highnesses, "My dear lords, you are open to all rivers, and your tolerance is great. If you have any high opinions, just express them directly."
The world belongs to me, why are I afraid that some of your unfavorable words of advice will not come true?
The ministers who had been quarreling just now suddenly fell silent.
The court hall was quiet, except for the "Floating Arrow-style" cleat-engraved pot in the side hall, which made an incomprehensible sound.
Liu Yan stood on the steps with carved jade and jade, and gold and jade. All the officials below the steps bowed their heads and remained silent, which made Liu Yan curl his lips slightly.
You don't speak when you are asked to speak, and you insist on speaking when you are not allowed to speak.
This is often the case in the world. Misfortune comes from the mouth, which in turn leads to the loss of your life!
Just when Liu Yan was about to speak, Tingwei Liu Zun suddenly stood up and left the case, and said to Liu Yan, "Your Majesty, once Goguryeo surrenders to Qin, the consequences will be disastrous. If the war breaks out, Qin can use waterways to penetrate directly into the Central Plains. In the hinterland, the situation is critical. "Han Lu: Military Bei Zhang" records: The ancestral territory should be defended to the death and cannot be ceded to others. Although Goguryeo is not the territory of the Han Dynasty, it is a military strategic point that protects the two states of Qu and Bo. I wish to send troops to attack the Goguryeo Kingdom and make it our territory. We can repair ships there and garrison troops there, so we can change from passive to active. One day, we can go north to attack Qin. This will give us a springboard."
Liu Yan did not express his position immediately. He looked around at the ministers and asked, "Is there anyone else who has something to say?"
When Liu Zun returned to the table, Dahong Yin Shao came to the palace and handed over his hands, "Your Majesty, although Goguryeo is a small country, it is related to the country's prestige and state. In recent years, our Han Dynasty and Qin Dynasty have won and lost each other in diplomatic relations. If it is just because of unfounded motives, A large-scale attack on the Goguryeo Kingdom may be suspected of suppressing the people by force. If it is not done correctly, I am afraid that it will arouse the resentment of the countries in the Western Regions. At that time, the North and South of the Western Regions will join the Qin Dynasty, and I, the Han Dynasty, will be surrounded by enemies on all sides!"
The logical thinking of literati and martial artists is so different!
"Da Honglu's words are wrong!"
Guard Chang Xia stood up and came to the palace to confront Yin Shao, and retorted, "During my tenure as Bozhou Mu, there were changes in the Goguryeo Kingdom. Now the Goguryeo Kingdom is secretly training elite soldiers and openly building cities, and its evil intentions are blatant. , how can you say that the motive is unfounded? Your Majesty, I believe that the truth can only be found in swords, guns, swords and halberds, and the prestige of the country must be won by millions of troops. Blind tolerance can only be regarded as an act of weakness."
"Officer Chang Wei's farts are really tasteless!"
The old academic master Zhu Chuo stood up and retorted, "The emperor's teacher must practice righteousness. I have read thousands of books, but I have never heard of an unknown teacher who can win and return the army. Besides, we, China, have the majesty of a great country, and a single book cannot be written. , a small country with poor etiquette, a small army and few generals, is it worth waiting for you to make a fuss about? Has the character and courage of your military generals been worn away by alcohol and meat? "
Zhu Chuo's words were old-fashioned and naturally a little heart-wrenching. Chang Xia said that he would take the initiative, but in the end Zhu Chuo said that the generals in the dynasty had no courage. This angered all the generals, except Tao Kan, who was still an old monk. The others all looked at Zhu Chuo with indignation, wishing they could eat him alive.
Chang Shou Qingteng, who always farts when he has something to say, did not hold back his anger. He stood up and approached Zhu Chuo angrily.
Everyone believed that if this place had not been a court, Lord Chang Shou would have given Zhu Chuo a few severe blows.
I saw Qing Teng spitting everywhere and yelling at Zhu Chuo, "Zhu Chuo, old man, let your mother's shit go. A horse in the water must have a ship on land, but if you have the will, you can't move forward. This is the old truth Don’t you understand? Do you have to wait until the shit of Goguryeo really hits your head before you know that Goguryeo shits? Pedantic, extremely pedantic! Thanks to your ancestors Zhu Ran and Zhu Huan from the Three Kingdoms period He is known for his courage and bravery, and he clearly has the style of a great general through the ages. How could there be a descendant like you who likes to tell nonsense? You have completely ruined the Zhu family's family tradition!"
Zhu Chuo was already old. Qing Teng's scolding made Zhu Chuo tremble greatly. He hesitated for a few words, then tremblingly raised his crutch and pointed at Qing Teng.
Qing Teng, who was fearless and fearless, pressed his nose and cursed arrogantly, "Old Zhu Chuo, I will give you three breaths to take back your crutch, otherwise, I will definitely break your crutch for you today. Hum hum. ! If you are not careful, a few of your teeth will be knocked out, and you can go home and drink porridge!"
Zhu Chuo still had some backbone. He held up his cane without letting it fall. He also cursed in a low voice, "The abandoned son of the family is actually barking here, bah."
Strictly speaking, Qing Teng cannot be regarded as an abandoned son of the family. At that time, he had disagreements with his family and left home angrily. Rather than saying that the family abandoned him, it is better to say that he abandoned the family.
The words were neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to reach Qing Teng's ears.
The words "abandoned son of the family" touched Qing Teng's weakness. Qing Teng didn't care what the occasion was. Without using his realm, he stretched out his hand to slap Zhu Chuo. Fortunately, Chang Xia stopped him and dragged him to the ground. Pulled back to the case room.
Liu Yan smiled honestly and waved his hand, indicating to all ministers to continue.
