Sweep the World

The Hanbing Palace is a huge group of palaces, not only one palace, but also covers the supposed chapter terraces, forest gardens, courtyards, greenery, squares and so on.

According to the Han family's palace structure, each palace group will have its own city walls, corridors, and passages. Usually, a main road will be built for normal entry and exit, and the rest of the roads will be closed.

The palace gate is on the main road. It is a gate with a width of five meters and a height of seven meters. It has two very large solid wood door panels, on which some metal nails will be anchored, and there will also be two huge beast-shaped pull rings. .

Liu Shen didn't have enough time to freshen up and change clothes. He brought some of his own officials in practice clothes to greet Liu Yan's arrival.

Jiaguan is not close to the palace gate, probably about three miles away?

Entering from the palace gate, you can see an empty square. The ground is padded with a large number of bricks. The road and other grounds are distinguished by bricks of different colors. Then there will be beast-shaped. lamp post.

The square surrounds the city wall with a width of one hundred and eighty meters. Inward there is a green area for some plants. The white snow on the ground is swept clean, and the white snow on the plants is left. It is not clear what kind of grass or trees are. What kind of tree.

The height of the wall of the outer Miyagi is 16 meters, and the height of the inner wall is generally no more than 8 meters. In addition to the city wall, there is also a thin wall with a height of about two meters. Then there are various buildings that make up the inside of the Miyagi. Or a hidden defense zone.

"I don't know how to wear a fur." ​​Liu Yan glanced at the prince's official, ignoring their sincerity, and said to Liu Shen: "As a prince, you should know the priority."

Liu Shen hurriedly rushed to the palace gate to greet him, wearing only a thin practice uniform. He had sweated a lot before, and if he was blown by the cold wind, he would probably catch a cold.

"The sons and ministers know that the father is coming, and they are very happy..." Liu Shen waved his hand to the officials in embarrassment and motioned them to leave quickly: "The sons and ministers are strong, and they often get rain and snow in the northwest. It won’t be a hindrance to the master and the enemy."

Liu Yan glanced at the female officer next to her, and stepped forward on her own.

The people who follow the emperor will actually have a variety of preparations, including bringing spare furs.

Under the order of the female officer, a maid hurried towards Liu Shen, holding her fur, and retired in a respectful salute.

The snow that had been stopped for two days began to fall again, and they slowly fell from the air in patches, sometimes showing their own dance when blown by the wind, and then landed after various trajectories appeared in the air.

Liu Yan stretched out his hand to take a piece of snowflakes, stared at it for two seconds, squeezed and held it for ten seconds before opening it, and the snow turned into water marks.

The Hanbing Hall occupies a lot of land. Lin Yuan includes Liusui's resident facilities. The staff on duty all come from Liusui, and they belong to the prince’s personal force.

"The prince has been a little negligent in recent days." Liu Yan deliberately came to the resident, and it seemed to be a quiet camp: "I am still worried about how much I think about it?"

Six rates are said to be 6,000 soldiers, but that is only the number of soldiers, and there should also be a group of people including relevant logistics personnel, but what Liu Yan has learned is that Liu Shen strictly keeps the resident personnel at a small number. Quite six thousand people.

"My son is still familiar with the personnel." After Liu Shen became the prince, he realized that his own old man is getting more and more difficult to get along with: "Among many things, only six rates can be postponed, so..."

The prince and the prince are both sons, but they are really different.

Liu Yan used to spoil Liu Shen as a prince, but he would not have any spoils for Liu Shen who became a prince, and he would not even treat Liu Shen again when he was only twelve years old. He would regard Liu Shen as an adult. people.

There is only reality in the adult world, and there will no longer be any fairy tales. It is difficult for these people to tell Liu Shen by action. Only Liu Yan is the most suitable candidate.

Until now, Liu Yan understood why the emperor always had so many gaps with the prince, and even conflicts, all because the emperor needed to make the prince understand what a change of identity was. Perhaps the existence of the crown prince proves that the emperor is getting old, so that the emperor always thinks that the crown prince will become the emperor someday, causing the boss to be unhappy?

Liu Shen reported a lot to Liu Yan. He recruited subordinate officials, who were he, what kind of distribution was made, and what were the considerations for that kind of distribution.

"The ruling structure of the big man is the royal family, the nobles, the nobles, and the people." Liu Yan stopped to face Liu Shen, and said solemnly: "The nobles and the nobles got everything from them because of their merits. We rely on them. To manage the country so that the country can operate effectively. They are our assistants in governing the people, but it is the people who are most important to us."

Liu Shen naturally listened carefully and remembered.

"We have given some meritorious people the reports and treatment they should have. They want more and want to build more merit." Liu Yan just listened to the list. Ninety percent of the crown prince’s officials came from honors and honors. The next 10% are those with great public reputation: "The big man is very generous to honors and honors, and he is using this kind of treatment to tell everyone that as long as he is good at the big man, he can get the reward that he should get. It is natural to have credit. To get a reward is the fundamental operation of the imperial court and the maintenance of the normal operation of the country. Do you understand?"

Liu Shen didn't understand too much.

The noble class of the Han Empire is very happy. They have obtained everything they deserve. Furthermore, the royal family has not yet taken the noble swords, so the noble class has no sense of urgency.

After the decision to suspend foreign expansion was passed, Liu Yan had already planned, waiting for some honorable persons to do something extraordinary, or if there were honorable persons but not good enough to compete with the class of the same level, to bully The ordinary class who doesn't have the ability to resist at all, take a good look at the noble class.

Once a country enters a period of development of internal affairs, various problems will definitely arise, usually due to competition due to interests. Under the imperial power system, the competition between honors and nobles is something that the royal family is happy to see, even if the nobles want to meet. Being kind, there will be a force in the darkness that will keep them conflicting and create troubles that make them have to fight.

Xungui played with each other happily and happily, showing a situation of unity and friendship. Can the emperor sleep peacefully?

Once it came time when the emperor secretly acted to make the nobles contradictory, it was usually the moment when the imperial power was declining. If there is such a powerful figure that can be recognized by the noble class, the next moment is the arrival of a dynasty change.

This situation has appeared countless times in history.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang was recognized by all classes. Even the emperor believed that Wang Mang was what everyone expected. As a result, the Western Han Dynasty was ended.

When the Eastern Han Dynasty arrived in Liu Hong’s period, the aristocracy was a good situation for everyone. It’s not that Liu Hong was so stupid that he had his own actions. He did what the emperor should do, that is Planned the first crony imprisonment ever. Liu

Hong did this to be hated by the noble class, but it was enough to continue the life of the Eastern Han for decades. Otherwise, without waiting for Dong Zhuo to appear, the Han family should once again undergo "peaceful evolution" like Wang Mang did. ", but got the posthumous title of "spirit".

Without making any jokes, in the Eastern Han Dynasty when Liu Hong was in power, the Hongnong Yang family, the Ruyang Yuan family, and even the Dou family who had been extinguished before, all had the ability and strength to stage a "peaceful evolution" against the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shi had already planned to replace it.

Liu Hong was imprisoned by his friends. As the target of the heavy blow, the Hongnong Yang family was directly devastated, while the Yuan family suffered minor damage, and it was the Yuan family who was chasing the world behind.

During the Northern Zhou Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Yang Jian was recognized by most of the noble class. He almost did not spend much effort to replace Yuwenjia and become his own dynasty.

When Yang Guang became emperor, he did not forget how the old Yang family established his own dynasty. He saw that the aristocratic class was once again forming a great unity. He did it by himself to fight with the aristocratic class or plan a battle. A foreign war consumes the power of the noble class, and his choice is to launch a foreign war.

At that time, due to the weakness and melee of the Central Plains dynasty, Goguryeo rose from the barren land, and continued to nibble southwest, almost swallowing western and eastern Liaoning.

Yang Guang needs to eliminate Goguryeo whose threats are increasing. Even if there is no need to bleed the domestic aristocracy, he must launch a war against Goguryeo.

Because of the special period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, even during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, he continued to weaken other nobles, and constantly changed the system to optimize the direction that is beneficial to the royal family, but still did not cancel the reality of the nobles having private soldiers, even obviously. The state’s armed forces are actually the current situation where the state is providing money and food to help the nobles raise their soldiers.

Yang Guang launched a war against Goguryeo. Many times it seemed that he could easily enter the city. It was because he ordered the postponement of the offensive. His intention to weaken or even exhaust the blood of the nobles was too obvious. Naturally, the nobles could not sit and wait for death. There are countless roads of beacon smoke, and there are reasons for the nobles' rebellion in the national war.

Within one or two hundred years after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the dynasty system was somewhat of a product with some Huren's characteristics, but it was not reversed even in the Li and Tang dynasties, including the fact that the nobles had private enmities and could use private soldiers to fight.

Liu Yan must train Liu Shen to be strong enough, and at the same time restrict Liu Shen from relying too much on the noble class.

"Erchen understands."

Liu Shen said that, but his heart was extremely tangled. He wondered for a while, what kind of balance should be the way that the nobility of the crown prince cannot account for that much, but the southern gentry cannot appoint it arbitrarily?

This is when Liu Yan is the first test for Liu Shen after he becomes the prince. It will depend on what kind of response Liu Shen uses. Later, he will give more burdens and at the same time deepen the test.

In fact, Liu Yan had considered letting Liu Shen go to gather the southern gentry, which was regarded as giving those southern gentry a hope that they would not despair to the end, but then he gave up.

If you do something wrong, you must pay a price. Otherwise, the world can still be prosperous and wealthy if you do something wrong. How do you judge whether something is right or wrong?

"I have specifically opened up to them." Liu Yan was talking about opening the Indochina Peninsula to the gentry in the south: "They disappointed me too much."

The Indochina Peninsula was the first enclave of the Han Empire outside, and it was also the most chaotic place.

Before the establishment of Annan Prefecture, the southern gentry who went to the Indochina Peninsula not only failed to completely solve the local indigenous people, but even appeared to support the indigenous people, completely deviating from Liu Yan's original intention of letting them go to the Indochina Peninsula.

After Liu Yan opened up the Western Regions, the gentry north of the Yangtze River did a very good job. They shared the dividends with the common people. They did not hold it in one hand like the southern gentry did. Even the southern gentry would rather give the benefits to the natives than their compatriots.

Before the army officially entered the Western Regions, the northern gentry directly destroyed the Western Regions with the folk Xiaoguo. They used the feast of robbery and killing to create a power gap in the Western Regions.

Liu Yan liked the clever end of the northern gentry very much. They ate their mouthfuls and did not forget to give benefits to the people at the national level.

The northern gentry is a qualified pioneer in foreign development. It is like the southern gentry who can't afford to eat or support themselves. It really can't hold it, but they have made a mess of stuffing the local aborigines.

"As far as Erchen knows..." Liu Shen regained the feeling of getting along with Liu Yan before, and he was no longer so cautious in his words: "They (the southern gentry) often show off their wealth. They would rather be extravagant than help. Orphans in the country?"

Liu Yan knew about this and asked, "What does the prince think?"

"Perhaps for self-protection?" Liu Shen saw Liu Yan raised his brows~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and continued to say: "Because of the clothes sailing to the south, they know how they are going to be, so naturally they dare not make an invitation. This is the only way to avoid more hostility."

"The prince understands this way, I am very relieved." Liu Yan laughed a few times and said: "They are indeed protecting themselves, and they are stupid enough. I can't let the people benefit, and I can only Show off your wealth."

"I want to ask my father for one thing." Liu Shen, taking advantage of Liu Yan's mood, begged: "I have been to the northwest but have not yet been to southern Xinjiang. Can I go to Jiankang first and then to Annan? Duhufu?"

Suddenly, Liu Yan discovered that Liu Shen had grown up, he knew how to test himself, and he also began to have his own ideas.

"Erchen thinks this way." Liu Shen said with yearning: "Walking all over the Han River and mountains, seeing the different places with his own eyes, and understanding the world. He also wanted to do some geography, record the topography of the mountains and rivers, and the people's feelings in each place. "

Liu Yan definitely wants to support such a thing, but he said: "Is the prince not low-spirited?"

Liu Shen's expression is not abnormal, with respect and expectation: "The son is the prince, and the prince of the great Han should do something."
