Following Murong Defeng's persuasion, Liu Yang's face became visibly ugly, his eyes were cold and sharp, as if he was about to eat Murong Defeng, but it also gave people the feeling of being stabbed in a sore spot.
"Shut up!" Liu Yang couldn't help but waved his hand, stretched it into the air, and then pulled it back. It was obvious that he was restraining his emotions.
Seeing this, Murong Defeng sighed and was no longer so anxious. He pondered for a moment and then said frankly: "Your Highness, I know that what I said today may be inappropriate. It is really taboo. If word spreads, some people may even lose their lives." risks of.
However, if there is something, I have to say it! I have no intention or dare to instigate brotherhood between your highnesses, but for the safety of the country, the well-being of the people, the stability of the court system, and the continuation of human ethics, Anton and Anxi must be controlled. The two kings of Qin and Wei, It must be restricted, otherwise there will be endless trouble!
Especially Anton, it is too close to Liaodong and Hebei."
"Control! Restrict!" Liu Yang was a little annoyed and asked: "The two places are thousands of miles away, how can the court control them? The two places are remote, have complicated human relations, and live up to their privileges. How can they maintain the authority of the court and consolidate the Han Dynasty? Domination of the house.
Blindly suspicious and defensive, wouldn't it chill the hearts of those Han family members who have been working hard and never shied away from hardships and dangers?
The King of Qin is responsible for the court's loyalty and is praised by everyone. Without his painstaking efforts in Anton, how could the stability of the Northeastern border be achieved today? Without the Andong barrier, how could the Yanshan and Liaodong roads have room for stability and development? In the Central Plains of Hebei, Where did the current wealth and prosperity come from? Do you think the silver strands on King Qin’s head grew out of nothing?
Your Majesty originally intended to divide the kings among the kings. With King Qin's ability, qualifications, and merits, what could he do if he gave Anton to him?
If due to unnecessary suspicion, the achievements of the Han Dynasty in exploring the Northeast for more than 20 years were in vain, Anton was lost to the barbarians, and Liaodong and Yanshan were once again exposed to the invasion of Beidi, who can bear such consequences and responsibility? Can you afford it? Is this something you would like to see? "
That is to say, there was no one around, so Liu Yang finally spoke out his inner thoughts, almost venting his feelings. He was not only accusing Murong Defeng of unreasonable suspicion and disregarding the general situation, but also seemed to be pouring out his concerns. Obviously, Liu Yang also had too much depression accumulated in his heart.
It was rare to see Liu Yang lose his composure like this. Murong Defeng was also stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground and said sadly: "Your Highness, just act like a villain! However, the discussion of enfeoffment is absolutely not allowed, then This is a strategy that will lead to endless disasters, so I ask you to learn from history!"
"Do you think I can make the decision on this kind of thing?" Liu Yang said coldly: "You are worried and worried, and you always ask me to be on guard, but how to do it, and what effective means are there? Whether it can improve people's hearts, why don't you mention this?"
Faced with Liu Yang's question, Murong Defeng was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, the root cause of Anton's troubles is that the King of Qin has been in the area for a long time and holds military and political power. The law of governing the border areas, for Anton, the court is not without good laws and can only let it go, and the first thing is to employ people. I think that transferring the King of Qin away from Anton is the most appropriate way, which can stabilize the situation without hurting the family ties of the Tian family."
"Hahaha." After hearing Murong Defeng's suggestion, Liu Yang smiled, with a little helplessness in his laughter: "You people! When King Qin was in Beijing, you were thinking of ways to squeeze him out of Beijing. I feel that he is too much of a threat to the government. Now, he has been staying in Anton for more than ten years. He has overcome all obstacles and obstacles, and finally made his way out of the world, but they want to transfer him again!
Do you think that your thoughts can be hidden from His Majesty's eyes? Your Majesty, how would he feel if you people wanted to bully his eldest son like this? "
"Your Highness, the country, the country and the country are our top priority!"
"Could it be that the eldest son of the emperor of the Han Dynasty is a scourge that threatens the country of the Han Dynasty?" Liu Yang asked.
Murong Defeng was silent after hearing this. Obviously, he really thought so.
The monarch and his ministers were silent for a long time, and then Liu Yang sighed and waved to Murong Defeng: "Rixin, I understand your loyalty, and your concerns may be justified, but it is far from it. The empire is too big, and we need a clan. , Your honor and nobles guard the place to consolidate and maintain the country, especially the frontier development areas. You must not stop eating because of choking!
What's more, as long as the court is stable, why fear the border towns? If there is a problem within the imperial court, what will it face than just the disaster you mentioned?
His Majesty has mentioned the word 'pattern' from time to time, and now I feel even more deeply about it. Don't do things that hurt your relatives and make your enemies happy because of these unnecessary suspicions. You might as well be more tolerant."
After hearing what Liu Yang said, Murong Defeng looked at Liu Yang carefully for a while, thought about it, and then handed over his hand and said: "Your Highness is kind and generous. I am ashamed of myself. I have learned from you!"
Of course, the fundamental reason is that for these things, let alone Murong Defeng, what the prince can do is extremely limited. Under such circumstances, the actual conditions would not allow the prince to do anything. On the contrary, it might even lead to disaster. They can be suspicious of King Qin, but they don't know that Emperor Liu can also be suspicious of the prince. At this time, what is most needed is to stay safe.
Thinking of this, Murong Defeng suddenly felt a little frightened. He woke up from his stereotyped thinking. He suddenly broke into a cold sweat and bowed his hands: "Your Highness, forgive me, I made a mistake today!"
Seeing Murong Defeng's sudden reaction, Liu Yang felt a little dumbfounded, but after observing him for a while, a smile finally appeared on his lips. He still valued Murong Defeng very much and didn't want him to be too crazy.
Of course, what Murong Defeng really wants is that it is too early to talk about that now. When Emperor Liu is still suppressing the world, there are limits to what he can do. The era of the prince and others is in the future, and the days are still long. Things in the future will be dealt with in the future, which is not too far away. Even if it takes another ten or twenty years, no matter what, they can still afford to wait.
Of course, if it is really that long, it is indeed too long and too unbearable!
"Okay, what else is there?" Liu Yang breathed a heavy sigh of relief, obviously not feeling much relaxed in his heart.
Murong Defeng took out another memorial and said: "The rewards and pensions for the soldiers of the Western Expedition have been approved by the Privy Council. Your Majesty still asks His Highness to review it again. If there are no problems, it can be handed over to the Ministry of War for distribution and implementation as soon as possible!"
This matter is not a small project, it will take some time. Liu Yang nodded and said: "I understand, put it here, I will review it as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
"Your Highness!" Murong Defeng respectfully put the memorial on the desk, thought for a while, and then said: "I heard that today, Your Majesty made a comparison with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!"
"The news spreads quite quickly!" After hearing this, Liu Yang paused with his moving hands, and then said calmly: "That's what happened! What do you think?"
Murong Defeng thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and replied: "With all due respect, your Majesty is warning His Highness and ministers, and he is also warning himself!
I believe that this point is very important and will bring more benefits than harm to His Highness. At least, His Majesty has a clear mind and a clear heart, and he wants to learn from Emperor Wu!
And all His Highness needs to do is to be filial to the king and father and diligent in state affairs as always, that's enough! "
"I think so too."
