Three months!
In just three months, the wolf-like and tiger-like founding heroes devoured the King of Yan alive. The most terrifying thing about this was that many subjects of the Yan Kingdom not only did not want to resist, but even sold the King of Yan directly.
The world's people's hearts change like running water, changing every moment. Too many people are tired of the endless war.
Especially the broken ship of King Yan, which was about to sink at first glance. The Emperor of Han went out to fight without even taking Han Xin with him. This was the highest contempt. So what if he defeated Liu Bang? Han Xin came with an army, who in the world could Can it be stopped?
Except for a very few diehards, no one wants to wait to die up there.
Yan State, Jicheng.
Liu Bang and his ministers looked at the tied-up King Yan and asked, "My lords, how do you think we should deal with this rebellious man?"
King Yan is bound to die!
This is the consensus of everyone. For a normal king, the person who takes the lead in rebellion must die. This is an iron law of politics and no one will violate it.
But after killing the leader, this part of the settlement can be negotiated for the family of the rebel and the families of his close associates.
"Your Majesty, according to Han law, the three tribes should be annihilated."
The current Han Code is a temporary product after greatly deleting the Qin Code. Basically, all the content of Luoling's practice has been deleted. Restrictions such as not allowing private collection of books and not being allowed to travel at will have been removed.
In addition, the countless corvee and military services in the Qin Dynasty were greatly reduced, and the crime-related crimes of neighbors were naturally abolished. The whole world seemed to have recovered from depression.
It was too easy for the Han Dynasty to win people's hearts. As long as they relaxed a little, the favor of Liu Bang among the people all over the world would slowly rise.
Hearing that the three tribes were to be annihilated, King Yan began to tremble. Luo Yi frowned slightly and asked Liu Bang: "Your Majesty, do you think that once King Yan is defeated, there will be no one in the entire Yan Kingdom who can threaten you and the Han Dynasty? "
Liu Bang laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Ziyu, the sea can always accommodate streams, and a Kunpeng with a slight flutter of its wings can far surpass a sparrow.
I am the commander-in-chief who once faced off against Xiang Yu. How powerful Xiang Yu is. I faced him in Xingyang and was not defeated.
Even if King Yan is released now, I don't think he can threaten the Han Dynasty. I don't even know who gave him the courage to rebel. Does he think he is a fierce general like Yingbu?
Just a noble who is greedy for life and afraid of death. "
Although Liu Bang was bragging, no one would say it out of humor, and cheerful voices rang out throughout the Yan Palace.
The generals were in a good mood, King Yan fell, and the heroes were full.
After this battle, it was easy and there was no danger. It would be no problem to add three to five hundred households to the city. Now the generals just hope that the few kings with different surnames left will rebel quickly.
For the sake of brother's glory and wealth, I borrowed the king's head to use it.
Luo Yi also smiled and said: "In this case, I suggest that your majesty not to kill King Yan's relatives. This is exactly what I want to report to your majesty.
You have to love people, people are the most precious things in this world.
In fact, one of the important reasons why King Wu defeated Zhou in the past was that human sacrifice in the Shang Dynasty had reached a crazy level.
The Zhou tribe captured people for sacrifices for King Shang in the west, but King Zhou was not satisfied. Especially in order to show his respect for the emperor, he even sacrificed those noble nobles. This is how the nobles of Zhou Dynasty died in Chaoge. city.
So Bangzhou destroyed the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Although there were still people who died in this world, the human sacrifices disappeared.
Moreover, as King Su and the ancestors of all dynasties stopped using human sacrifices, the custom of burials gradually became less common, at least in Guandong, it is basically no longer seen.
King Su put down the rebellion of the Three Supervisors, but did not kill the nobles. The royal family of the Yin and Shang Dynasties participated in the rebellion, but King Su placed them in the Song Dynasty and still allowed them to be the monarchs.
Because killing is simple, but those who can use it are rare.
For such a big family, there are probably no less than thousands of people who are close to each other. It would be a pity to kill these people.
To the south of the Yangtze River is Lingnan. Although it was conquered during the First Emperor's period, it was only in name and there was no actual rule.
Qin general Zhao Tuo established himself there, and Zhuxia had a certain basis for rule there.
But this is not enough, there is a huge shortage of people there.
If you move King Yan's relatives there, you can send people to inspect them every three to five years until they have made great achievements, such as how much land they have opened up, how many precious tributes they have handed over, or what has happened to their clan. Only a genius can return to the Central Plains.
You did not kill them, which is a grace to them. You also gave them hope to return, which is another grace. Apart from praising you day and night, I really can't think of what else they can do. "
From execution to exile, it is hard to say which one is better. Some people feel that death is worse than living, and some people are not willing to live in pain in this world.
But what Luo Yi proposed was not a simple exile, it was more like atonement and land reclamation with a clear goal. As long as he made meritorious deeds or received some cherished tribute, he might be able to pardon his crimes and return to the Central Plains.
Luo Yi's proposal gave them hope, which is the most precious thing in the world.
Liu Bang pondered for a moment, thought about the several kings with different surnames in Old Chu in the south, and immediately said: "Ziyu's suggestion is very good.
Bangzhou's expansion of territory was unparalleled, and the Qin Dynasty also made contributions to the territory. The Han Dynasty must not fall behind others.
We must develop all the land in the world properly.
First, all the relatives of King Yan will be escorted back to Luoyang, and when the time is right, they will be sent to Lingnan and even Qiongzhou.
King Yan, do you have any opinion on my decision? "
King Yan, who was finally able to speak, shed two lines of clear tears in his eyes and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty's grace, the sinners will die forever."
…
Linzi City.
King Lu Cheng of Qi heard the news reported to him by his subordinates about King Yan's rebellion, which was put down by Liu Bang in three months, and Liu Bang named his brother King of Yan. He fell into deep thought.
"King?"
Qi Lian called him several times but got no response. It wasn't until the voice got louder that he responded. Qi Lian asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
King Qi frowned and said, "This is not right, King Yan. Why is he rebelling? Does he really think he can defeat His Majesty?
Even if they were lucky enough to defeat His Majesty, when General Han Xin came, he would still be a weakling and vulnerable. "
King Lu Cheng of Qi was puzzled. He shook his head and stopped thinking. He turned to ask: "Prime Minister, do you have any important business here?"
Prime Minister Qi took out a piece of cloth and handed it to King Lu Cheng of Qi, saying, "This is sent by the Queen and Marquis Lu, and they said they would give it to you."
As soon as he heard that it was sent by Lu Pheasant and Lu Ze, Lu Cheng quickly took it. In today's world, the Lu family has been revived.
Not only he, the King of Qi, but also the Queen Lu Fei and Lu Ze were on the mountaintop in the center, and there were people from the inner court, the outer court, and other places.
If it weren't for the support of the hero group for Liu Bang, the Lu family would be more powerful than the Liu family. This is why Lu Pheasant sneered at Liu Bang's desire to change the prince.
This is also the reason why Liu Bang must get rid of the kings with different surnames and enfeoff the Liu family. Liu Bang really hopes that these Liu family members can defend the emperor and support him as the emperor.
The more King Qi watched, the more frightened he became. Of course Lu Pheasant would not blatantly say that Liu Bang wanted to eradicate the king with a different surname.
But the timing of sending the letter was just right, and in conjunction with Luoyang Palace, he said that he would confer great titles on all the kings, and then annihilate the Yan Kingdom and support the clan members as kings of Yan. How could the King of Qi not be frightened.
Moreover, the letter also revealed that Liu Bang would also grant the title of King of Chu to his elder brother, and he was a hero with great military exploits.
Lu Cheng was not a fool, otherwise Luo Ling would not have helped him, and Lu Pheasant and Lu Ze would not have valued this clan member. They even sent him this letter specifically to protect his life.
Lu Pheasant and Lu Ze have this ability. The most important thing is that Liu Bang's attack on Lu Cheng will make the entire Lu family feel uneasy. If the Lu family is uneasy, the Han Dynasty will not be stable.
Lu Cheng was secretly glad that he listened to Luo Ling's advice and did not compete with Lu Ze, who was closer by blood, for control of the Lu family. "The world has really changed. The central court is the strongest. With many soldiers and generals, marching The speed is also much faster than during the Bangzhou period, and it is really difficult to fight."
Thinking of this, Lu Cheng immediately said: "Bring me a pen. I will reply a letter of thanks to the Queen and Marquis Lu. In addition, prepare a car for me immediately. I will go to Zhaocheng to visit Duke Zhao."
If something is undecided, go to Zhao Gong. Don't worry about whether the opinions are reasonable or not, just listen. Zhao Gong's wisdom is ten times better than mine. This is Lu Cheng's way of survival.
Zhaocheng.
King Qi looked at the city, and a heavy feeling overwhelmed him. This was a newly built city, but it had a simple feeling.
"It's great. I don't know how that little kid is living here. I think he is very happy and doesn't miss his old father from Qi State at all."
Lu Cheng sighed and hurried into Zhaocheng. Luo Ling, who was rarely seen by ordinary people, was relatively simple for him. After all, he was Luo Ling's relative and loyal horse boy, so he still had this status.
After seeing Luo Ling, Lu Cheng almost burst into tears on the spot, "Mr. Zhao, you are the only one who can save my life now. Choose a road for the city."
Luo Ling felt a little nervous every time he faced King Qi, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, sit up straight and don't be so frivolous. You are also a descendant of the Lu family. Why are there such big differences in personality between the Queen and Marquis Lu? Rather, he looks a bit like His Majesty the Emperor.
I know your purpose of coming. With the queen here, your life is not in danger, but it is impossible for the leader of a big country to enclose the territory and merge the counties. Now he is no longer a state. "
When Lu Cheng heard this, he knew there was nothing he could do. He followed Luo Ling's advice and could only sigh slightly: "Liu Bang, this bastard, we have conquered the world together. His Liu family has been here for generations, but we can't.
Duke Zhao, tell me, what should the city do? "
————
When the general passed away, he said to Confucius: "After a hundred years, I will not decide the matter, so I will ask Duke Ji Zhao.
Zhao Gong is in the sky, with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, but he has something to say, from the mountains to the abyss, to the land of life and death, all of them are enshrined. "——"Historical Records·The Family of King Qi Weiguang"
