Father can be an enemy to the country

What did Ye Boju advocate? Enfeoffment is too extravagant! It is necessary to limit the power of the vassal kings, divide their fiefdoms, and deprive them of their troops to prevent them from becoming too powerful and threatening the imperial power.

The brothers had just returned from the front line, and they thought they would be welcomed as heroes. Unexpectedly, they became public enemies of the government and the public, and some people even colluded with thieves to ambush them. Of course they felt aggrieved.

"It's just that the military generals are afraid that we will take away military power." Lao San also said angrily: "Why do those civilian officials deal with us?"

"To prevent the Seven Kings' Rebellion and the Eight Kings' Rebellion." Lao Liu shrugged his shoulders and continued to rinse his camel meat.

"It's not good to have the Rebellion of the Seven Kings in the Western Han Dynasty. How about letting the eunuchs, relatives, and ministers take turns to take over the power in the Eastern Han Dynasty? Is it better to have Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao out?" The third child drank a glass of soju, wiped his mouth carelessly and said, "There is the Rebellion of the Eight Kings in the Western Jin Dynasty. No, how about the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when the aristocratic families took turns taking the throne? What about the likes of Huan Wen and Huan Xuan?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Lao Si sneered: "They can't be the Seven Kings and Eight Kings, but there is still hope of becoming powerful ministers."

Zhu Zhen nodded and kept showing off his meat, and in the blink of an eye he emptied the plate.

"What did eldest brother say?" The third child suddenly asked.

"Third brother, don't worry about eldest brother." Zhu Zhen swallowed the meat in his mouth, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth and said: "He will not be suspicious of us, let alone allow others to bully us."

"That's for sure." The third child nodded and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the people around him talk too much nonsense and make the eldest brother alienated from us."

"That's impossible!" The second brother said flatly: "I promise!"

"Okay, let's just trust the second brother's judgment!" Zhu Di slapped the table, picked up the wine bowl and said, "Do it!"

"Do it!" The brothers clinked a glass together, finally experiencing the feeling of worry, slander and ridicule.

The third child drank all the wine in his glass, twirling the empty wine cup, and couldn't help but sigh: "I used to read history books, and I saw that the princes in the past dynasties all lived extremely miserable lives. They would either cross the river with eggs in their hands, and be afraid; or they would just live and drink, and live happily ever after. ; Or you can talk sweetly and hide your sword, and use your heart and mind to plot against your father and brothers as enemies.

"Looking at it, I feel sad for them, but at the same time I am extremely lucky. Our family is not like that..." He said with tears in the corners of his eyes: "Now I know that those imperial families are not like that. They were forced to Become like that.”

"Don't talk nonsense!" The fourth child glared at the third child and said, "Our family will never become like that. With our father and big brother here, we don't have to think about anything!"

"You are throwing all the problems to the elder brother!" Lao San shook his finger and said: "I won't, I will take the initiative to share the worries for my father and brother. After returning to Beijing, I will write to my father and ask for the fief to be transferred to Liaodong. Is the head office ready now?”

"You're just out of anger. I'm sure my father won't agree." Zhu Di said in a low voice, "Besides, my fiefdom is in Beiping. What's the point of going to Liaodong? Are you going to guard the outside of the pass for me?"

"I will ask my father to send you to Mobei." The third child said angrily.

"Actually, what Third Brother said makes sense." At this time, Lao Liu was finally seventy full and put down his chopsticks and said, "There is something wrong with the location of our fiefdom."

"Let's just talk about me. My fiefdom is in Wuchang. In addition to the three guards, it is said that the entire Huguang army will be under my control in the future." Zhu Zhen said lightly: "Of course my father and eldest brother will not doubt me, but in the future Where is the eldest nephew? Are you worried about me or my son? Are you worried that the King of Chu will lead his troops down the river and invade Nanjing? "

These words made the brothers suddenly sober up, especially the extremely smart people like the third and fourth children, and they immediately understood that this was almost inevitable.

"Think about it from their perspective. I really don't blame others. Our identity, power, army, and position are all too suspect." Lao Liu took out his God Master card and said:

"My master also said that the future emperor will definitely be afraid of the vassal king, so he will definitely cut down the vassal in the future. Once the reduction of the vassal begins, there will be no retreat for everyone."

After a pause, he said slowly and heavily: "By then, the Heavenly Family will be the Shura Field, and there will be no exceptions."

"..." Hearing Liu Bowen say such words, the faces of the brothers immediately became several times uglier.

If they were just complaining before, now they really have a sense of crisis.

"Then...your master didn't say anything, how should we resolve it?" The brothers looked at Lao Liu eagerly and asked.

"He gave us a few words..." Zhu Zhen paused deliberately, and then said, "Shen Sheng died inside, but Chong'er was born outside?"

"What, what do you mean?" This was a bit difficult for the second child.

"This quote comes from "The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Shu, Biography of Zhuge Liang"." The third brother, the top student, explained to the second brother:

"It is said that after Liu Biao married his younger wife, he doted on his younger son Liu Cong and disliked his eldest son Liu Qi. Liu Qi was very worried that he would be killed, so he begged Zhuge Liang to help him find a way. Zhuge Liang said these two sentences to him. Liu Qi According to Yan's request, he left Xiangyang and became the governor of Jiangxia, successfully escaping the persecution of his stepmother and Cai Mao."

"You still didn't, didn't say, what do these two sentences mean?" The second child still didn't understand.

"The Shen Sheng and Chong'er mentioned in these two sentences were both the sons of Duke Xian of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period. Their situation was similar to that of Liu Qi. Both of them were fathers who favored their young wives. The young wives wanted to eradicate them and let their sons take over. But the eldest son Shen Sheng refused to listen. He insisted on staying in the country and was killed; but the second son Chong'er finally survived because he left the Jin Kingdom early." Lao San explained again.

"We are all sealed off to Xi'an, Taiyuan, Beiping, Wuchang, Su... Uh, isn't that enough?" Lao Si said in a dull voice.

"Of course it's not enough. To the emperor, the thirteen provinces of Han are all domestic!" Lao Liu said solemnly: "For us, they are not foreign enough."

As he spoke, he gave an example: "What is outside? That's called outside in Goryeo! If any of us were sealed in Goryeo, think about it, would it be very different from being in China?"

"Hmm." The brothers couldn't help but nodded. They had all been to Goryeo and knew that it was separated from the Ming Dynasty by mountains and seas and was beyond the reach of the imperial court. It was difficult to have direct jurisdiction like inland provinces. Therefore, Goryeo has always had a strong independence, and the Yuan Dynasty failed to digest it for decades.

When the two brothers were chatting, they couldn't help but worry about their father and brother. How should the court govern this "Goryeo Chengxuan Administrative Envoy" in the future? Don’t become a heavy burden that Ming Dynasty cannot carry or leave behind.

But my mind suddenly opened up and my perspective on the problem changed. Goryeo, who had a disgusting appearance, suddenly became handsome and attractive.

"That is the independent kingdom." The third child touched his blue chin and said in fascination: "It is only there that you can be powerful and independent and become a true king."

"That's the feudalism of the land." Lao Si also murmured: "Our kind of feudal country is just a city. It's not even the city lord, it's just a big military commander."

"It's too far, too far..." Even the second child judged this way.

ps. Sorry, there is no one to help at home today. I have to pick up the children, cook and train them. I am exhausted, so only two updates.
