Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 327: The First Year of Jianyuan
"Great revenge, good!"

"Great unification, good!"

"Greater Kyushu... is also good!"

In Weiyang Palace,

The new emperor of the Han Dynasty,

After discussing countermeasures with the wise men he had recruited from various places,

He quickly called together the friends he had united with when he was the crown prince and told them his summary.

He stood in the center of the temple.

He was standing on a huge map of the Han Dynasty's counties and prefectures, with his hands raised high, looking high-spirited and ambitious.

For this,

As the emperor's most loyal younger brother, Liu Yong immediately gave him a warm round of applause.

The young emperor stood proudly with his hands behind his back, quietly enjoying the support of his friends for a while, then lowered his head to look at the map.

He stepped on the positions of several powerful vassal states, causing the floor to shake.

Then he said with a straight face:
"Since my father and grandfather, the power of the princes has grown stronger."

"Although there were tolerant elders like the King of Liang who set an example and advocated extending favors, other clan members did not actively follow suit, which led to the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion."

“This really makes me very unhappy!”

Suppress the princes,

Strengthen the central government's orders to local governments.

This is what must be done to achieve the goal of "great unification"!

"that is!"

"Those princes are so disobedient!"

Liu Yong clenched his fists and loudly echoed the emperor's words.

Because his grandfather wrote a letter of "Prayer for Grace" before his death.
The Han clan members were very disgusted with the Liang Wang lineage, which had harmed their own interests.

They still communicate privately to this day:
"Does the King of Liang's people have a problem with their brains?"

Others shout about "sacrificing oneself to benefit others" and are just making a benevolent gesture.
It turns out that King Liang was serious!
Therefore,
After Liu Yong came to Chang'an, he did not interact frequently with his relatives.

Since the other party doesn't like me,
Why should he bother himself?

It would be better to go and play with Wei Qing!
Liu Che was very happy with his little cousin's reaction.

He then moved and stepped on another location on the map.

And the force is even more intense than before.

The emperor even pounded on it for a few times before he spoke:
"The Huns are the most hateful!"

After continuous suppression,
Although his intention to stir up trouble in secret remained unchanged, he had lost the ability to directly resist the court.

But the Huns were different.
Every year, the Huns would go south to plunder.

They will take away a large number of people.

Took away a lot of wealth,
Treat the people of the Xia Dynasty the same way you treat cattle, sheep and other animals.

Whenever Liu Che heard about this incident, he was so angry that he wanted to wipe out the Huns.

Since ancient times,

Only the Chinese treat the four barbarians like this.
How could the barbarians treat the noble descendants of Yan and Huang like this!
It is simply contrary to Tiangang!

But officials at all levels of the court,
Immersed in the eternal peace,

Three consecutive generations of "Huang-Lao inaction and laissez-faire" have also made them lose the motivation to be proactive and give full play to their subjective initiative.

Inaction,
Let the people develop freely.
Believe in the wisdom of the masses!

If the imperial court wants to control everything,

How much will that cost?

How much energy will be consumed?
If the order is wrong,

How big of an impact will it have?
Therefore, for some officials:
Rather than taking responsibility after something happens,

It's better not to do it in the first place.

Who can implicate me in this way?

When Liu Che heard about this, he was very dissatisfied with this phenomenon.

Before his death, the late emperor held his hand and said, "Now that the country has accumulated to such an extent, it is indeed necessary to make changes."

There is enough food stored but people are not allowed to eat it.
Should I let it get moldy?
If you accumulate a lot of money but don't spend it,

Are we going to give it to the Huns as war reparations?
"You have a very aggressive personality."

"The country will undergo a huge transformation in your hands."

Liu Che listened to his father's last words.

While shedding tears of sorrow,

On the one hand, boundless pride is inevitable——

That's right!

I was born to change this country!
I will lead the Great Man onto a new and more powerful path,

Let the people now and in the future,
They will praise its name forever and ever!

The stars in the sky are shining,
The "stars" on earth should also have unprecedented glory!
but,

As the sun rises,
Before spreading your light and warmth to every corner of the world,
It also has to find a way to disperse the moon and stars that are also hanging in the sky and spreading their brilliance.

Therefore,
Liu Che stepped again and stepped on the blank area outside the map.

"summer!"

"And Qin!"

"I must convince them and make it clear who is the true master of Kyushu!"

"Who is the orthodox one among all the Xia people?"

When Liu Che was very young,
I thought about fighting the Huns.

But the Xiongnu's bow-drawing people came and went like the wind, and the grassland was extremely vast, making it difficult to find the direction.
then,

Liu Che used the military skills he had learned from hunting in Shanglin Garden to figure out how to deal with this enemy:
The Huns are swift beasts.

The big man, on the other hand, is a hunter who wants to capture and tame it.

He needed to set up nets on all sides of the place where the beast roamed, and then slowly tighten the nets, leaving it with nowhere to escape or avoid, and ultimately it would fall under the hunter's bow and arrows!
Great Wall,

It was a "huge net" woven by the gentlemen of the Xia Dynasty in the south to deal with the Huns!
This network was woven from the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, and it has become very solid and complete!
To the east, the Donghu occupied the area, which also posed a hindrance.

The north is cold and vast, and even the Huns who roamed the grasslands didn't like that place.

Thus,
Just one more west side!
As long as the west is blocked, the Han can just shut the door in and catch the dog in the jar!

Young Liu Che thought this idea was very clever, so he asked the clerk in charge of the library to find records about the Western Regions for him.

He planned to find a "teammate" among the pile of old documents who could resist the Huns' fierce advance and cooperate with the Han people!
then,

He knew about Xinxia.
Through the dialogues between Han and Xia at that time, we also indirectly learned that the Qin Dynasty had not yet been completely destroyed and that Qin Shihuang's grandson had already rebuilt the country outside the territory.

"How can you do this!"

Liu Che remembered that he was very angry at that time. He threw the records away and found his father to complain to him about the rudeness of the Xia people.

One cannot survive in the Xia Dynasty.

So that the branches that have to take root outside the domain,

How dare you have the idea of coveting the main body and trying to replace it?
It has this attitude,

It is obvious that he wants to learn from Duke Zhuang of Zheng, shoot the king in the shoulder, and compete for the destiny!
Xinxia wants to be the common ruler of all Xia.
The "Son of Heaven" who rules the world in accordance with the will of heaven!
It is simply the opposite of Tiangang!

Liu Che could not tolerate such provocation.
If the Xiongnu had not been dealt with yet,
He really wanted to send troops out to fight Xinxia and let that evil-minded guy know what "heavenly soldiers" and "the central country" meant!
"So we still need to send people over to seek Xinxia's help to strike at the Xiongnu's power in the west?"

When Liu Che stepped on the ground, folded his hands and snorted like a pig, wishing he could dig up all the dirty things outside the domain,
Han Yan raised his hand, interrupting his fantasy.

Liu Che's face suddenly fell.

He wanted to shake his head stubbornly, but his reason as an emperor told him:
The Xiongnu were right next to the Han Dynasty.
That is your biggest enemy.

The principle in "The Book of Songs" that "Brothers quarrel within the walls, but defend against foreign insults" is what we should adhere to at this moment!

At last,
The young emperor could only snort coldly, stepped on the princes, the Huns and the outsiders a few times, and left with a wave of his sleeves.

"Will you send envoys to contact Xinxia outside the region?"

Liu Yong didn't understand what he meant, so he turned to ask Han Yan.

Han Yan held her stomach and laughed loudly, telling him, "Of course I will!"

"Your Majesty has already found the right person when he issued the imperial edict to recruit talented people!"
