Chapter 1057: Father and Son


Han Bing Hall is a huge palace group, not only one palace, but also covers the chapter platform, forest garden and pavilion, greening, square and so on.

According to the palace pattern of the Han family, each palace group will have its own city wall, corridors, and passages, and usually a main road will be built for the purpose of entering and exiting at ordinary times, and the rest of the roads will be closed.

The palace gate is on the main road, a gate five meters wide and seven meters high, and 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, so he wore a practice uniform and took some of his subordinates to greet Liu Yan's arrival.

Jiaguan is not close to the palace gate, about three miles away Entering through the palace gate, you can see an empty square, the ground is paved with a large number of masonry, the road is distinguished from the rest of the ground by different colors of masonry, and there are beast-shaped lampposts.

The square is surrounded by the city wall, the width is 180 meters, and further inside is the green area of some plants, the snow on the ground is swept away, and the snow on the plants is left, and it is impossible to see what kind of grass is grass or what kind of tree is there.

The height of the outer walls of the palace is 16 meters, and the height of the inner walls is generally not more than 8 meters, in addition to the city walls, there is a kind of thin wall with a height of about 2 meters, and then there are various buildings that constitute the explicit or hidden defense zone inside the palace.

"I don't know how to put on a fur."

Liu Yan glanced at the prince's subordinate officials a few times, ignored their sincere fear, and said to Liu Shen: "As a prince, you should know the importance of the emergency. ” Liu Shen hurried over to the palace gate to greet him, just wearing a thin practice uniform.

He had sweated a lot before, and he was likely to get cold if he was blown by the cold wind.

"Erchen knew that his father was coming, and he was overjoyed" Liu Shen waved his hand to the subordinate officials awkwardly, signaling them to leave quickly: "Erchen is strong, and he often braves rain and snow in the northwest, and he can also fight against the big Han and get out of the way." ” Liu Yan glanced at the female officer next to him and walked forward by himself.

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

Under the orders of the female official, a palace maid walked quickly to Liu Shen with a fur coat and put it on her, and bowed respectfully and retreated.

After two days of snowfall, they began to fall slowly from the sky in patches, sometimes showing their own dance when blown by the wind, and then landing in mid-air after various tracks appeared.

Liu Yan stretched out his hand to take a piece of snowflake, stared at it for two seconds, pinched and held it for ten seconds and then opened it, and the snow turned into a water trail.

Han Bingdian occupies a large area, and Lin Yuan includes the stationary facilities of the six rates, and the personnel on duty everywhere are from the six rates, and they are the personal forces of the prince.

"The prince has been a little sluggish these days."

Liu Yan deliberately came to the station, looking at a quiet camp: "I'm still worried about it."

The sixth rate said that it was 6,000 soldiers, but that was only the number of soldiers, and there should be a group of people, including relevant logistics personnel, but what Liu Yan learned was that Liu Shen strictly kept the garrison personnel at no more than 6,000 people.

"Erchen is still getting acquainted with the personnel."

After Liu Shen became the crown prince, he found that his own Lao Tzu was getting worse and harder: "Among many affairs, only six things can be postponed, so" The prince and the crown prince are both sons, but they are really different.

Liu Yan used to dot on Liu Shen, who was the prince, but he didn't have any doting on Liu Shen, who became the prince, and he wouldn't even be Liu Shen when he was only twelve years old, and he would regard Liu Shen as an adult.

In the adult world, there is only reality, and there will be no fairy tales, and it is difficult for others to tell Liu Shen with actions, only Liu Yan is the most suitable candidate.

Only now did Liu Yan understand why the emperor always had a lot of estrangement with the crown prince, and even had contradictions, all because the emperor needed to let the prince understand what the change of identity was.

Perhaps the existence of the crown prince proves that the emperor is aging, which makes the emperor feel unhappy every time he thinks that one day the prince will become the emperor Liu Shen reported a lot of things to Liu Yan, who were the families of his subordinate officials, what kind of distribution were the ingredients, and what were the considerations for that distribution.

"The ruling composition of the Han Dynasty is the royal family, the nobles, the nobles, the nobles, and the common people."

Liu Yan stopped and faced Liu Shen, and said solemnly: "The nobles and the knights have gained everything from them because of their merits.

We rely on them to run the country, to enable it to function effectively, they are our assistants in governing the people, but it is the people who are most important to us. ” Liu Shen naturally listens attentively and will remember.

"We have given some meritorious people the report and treatment they deserve, and they want to get more credit and want to build more credit."

Liu Yan just listened to the list, and ninety percent of the prince's subordinate officials are all from the nobles, and the remaining ones are the oppositionists with great fame among the people: "The Han is very generous to the nobles, and he is using this treatment to tell everyone that as long as they are meritorious to the Han, they can get the rewards they deserve."

Merit naturally deserves to be rewarded, which is the foundation of the 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 was very happy, they got everything they deserved, and the royal family had not taken the noble sword for the time being, so the noble class did not have any sense of urgency.

After the resolution to suspend foreign expansion was passed, Liu Yan already had a plan, just waiting for some nobles to do something out of the ordinary, or if some nobles were not good enough not to compete with the class of the same level, to bully the ordinary class who had no ability to resist at all, so as to properly clean up the noble class.

Once the country enters the period of internal development, there will definitely be various problems, usually because of the competition of interests, under the imperial social system, the competition between the nobles is something that the royal family is happy to see, even if the nobles want to be harmonious, there will be a force in the dark that makes them constantly contradict, creating trouble that they have to fight.

The nobles played happily with each other, showing unity and friendship, and the emperor was able to sleep peacefully Once it comes to the time when the emperor needs to secretly act to make the nobles have contradictions, it is usually the moment when the imperial power is in decline, if there is such a powerful person who can be recognized by the noble class, the next moment is the arrival of a change of dynasty.

Such a situation has appeared countless times in history.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang was recognized by all classes, and even the emperor thought that Wang Mang was the expectation of the people, and the result was that the Western Han Dynasty was ended.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Liu Hong period, the aristocracy was a situation of hello, I am good, everyone is good, and it was not that Liu Hong, who was hopelessly stupid, had his own actions, and he made a thing that an emperor should do, that is, to plan the first time in history to confine himself.

Liu Hong must have been hated by the aristocracy by doing this, but it was enough to renew the life of the Eastern Han Dynasty for decades, otherwise there would be no need to wait for Dong Zhuo to appear, and the Han family would have been "peaceful evolution" like Wang Mang again, but it was given the nickname of "spirit".

No jokes, when the Eastern Han Dynasty reached the reign of Liu Hong, the Hongnong Yang clan and the Ruyang Yuan clan, and even the Dou clan that was extinguished before, all had the ability and strength to stage a "peaceful evolution" against the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Yuan clan had long been planning to replace them.

Liu Hong carried out the confinement of the punk party, as the target of the heavy attack, the Hongnong Yang family was directly slumped, but the Yuan family was slightly damaged, and it was the Yuan family who was in chaos behind the world.

During the Northern Zhou Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Yang Jian won the recognition of most of the aristocratic class, and he almost did not make much effort to replace the Yuwen family and achieve his own dynasty.

When Yang Guang became the emperor, he did not forget how the old Yang family established his own dynasty, and saw that the aristocracy once again formed a great unity situation, whether to fight with the aristocracy by himself, or to plan a foreign war to consume the power of the aristocracy, his choice was to launch a foreign war.

At that time, Goguryeo rose from the wilderness because of the weakening and chaos of the Central Plains Dynasty, and continued to encroach on the southwest, and once almost swallowed Liaoxi and Liaodong.

Yang Guang needed to eliminate the growing threat of Goguryeo, and even if there was no need to bleed the domestic aristocracy, he would definitely start a war against Goguryeo.

Because of the special period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, even if Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian continued to weaken other nobles during his reign, he was constantly changing the system and optimizing it in a direction that was beneficial to the royal family, but it still did not cancel the reality that the nobles had private soldiers, and even the state was armed, but in fact it was the status quo that the state was contributing money and food to help the nobles raise soldiers.

Yang Guang launched a war against Goguryeo, and many times it seemed that he could easily enter the city, but he ordered the offensive to be suspended, and the intention of weakening or even exhausting the blood of the nobles was too obvious, and the aristocratic class naturally could not sit still, so there was the smoke of countless roads at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and there were even more reasons for the rebellion of the nobles in the national war.

Within one or two hundred years after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the dynastic system was somewhat of a characteristic product of the Hu people, but it was not reversed in the Li and Tang dynasties, including the fact that the nobles had personal enmity and could use private soldiers to fight.

Liu Yan had to train Liu Shen to be strong enough, and at the same time limit Liu Shen's excessive reliance on the noble class.

"Erchen understood."

Liu Shen said that, but his heart was extremely entangled.

He thought about it, what kind of balance should it be if the nobles among the prince's subordinate officials could not occupy so much, but the southern scholars could not be appointed on a large scale This is regarded as Liu Yan's first test for Liu Shen after becoming the prince, it will depend on what kind of response Liu Shen uses, and he will be given more burdens later, and at the same time, it will also deepen the test.

In fact, Liu Yan had considered asking Liu Shen to rein in the southern scholars, which was considered to give those southern scholars a hope not to despair to the end, but then he gave up.

Doing something wrong must have a price, otherwise the world can still be prosperous and rich when they see that they have done something wrong, how to judge what is right or wrong "I've been open to them."

Liu Yan said about opening the Indochina Peninsula to the southern scholars: "They disappointed me too much. ” Indochina was the first enclave of the Han Empire outside, and at the same time the most chaotic place.

Before the establishment of the Protectorate of Annam, the southern scholars who went to the Indochina Peninsula not only failed to completely solve the local aborigines, but even supported the natives, completely deviating from Liu Yan's original intention of letting them go to the Indochina Peninsula.

Liu Yan later opened up the Western Regions, and the scholars north of the Yangtze River did a very good job, they shared the dividends with the people, not like the southern scholars, and even the southern scholars would rather give the benefits to the natives than their compatriots.

Before the army officially entered the Western Regions, the Northern Scholars and the folk Xiaoguo directly destroyed the Western Regions, and they used the feast of robbery and killing to create a power gap in the Western Regions.

Liu Yan likes the smart end of the northern scholar clan very much, they themselves are full of oil, and they have not forgotten to give profits to the people at the national level.

The northern scholars are qualified pioneers in foreign development, like the southern scholars who can't eat it themselves and still hold on, they really can't hold it but make a bad thing for the local natives.

"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 speech: "Their southern scholars have many ways to show off their wealth, and they would rather be extravagant than help the lonely widows in the countryside."

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

"Maybe it's for self-preservation" Liu Shen saw Liu Yan raise his eyebrows, and continued: "Because of the matter of the well-dressed Nandu, they know what the wind is, so they naturally don't dare to make a move to invite their names, only in this way can they not be more hostile." ” "The prince can understand it this way, and I am very pleased."

Liu Yan laughed a few times and said, "They are indeed protecting themselves, and they are stupid enough.

I can't let it benefit the people, and if I don't learn the law of the northerners, I can only show off my wealth. ” "The son wants to ask his father for something."

Liu Shen took advantage of Liu Yan's good mood and begged: "Erchen has been to the northwest, but he has not yet been to southern Xinjiang, can you go to Jiankang first, and then go to Annan Duhufu?"

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

"That's what Erchen thinks."

Liu Shen said with yearning: "Walking all over the Han River and Mountain, seeing the differences in various places with your own eyes, and appreciating the various states of the world.

Erchen also wanted to do a geographical chronicle to record the topography of mountains and rivers and the feelings of people in various places. ” Liu Yan must support such a thing, but he said: "The prince's ambition is not small."

Liu Shen's face was not abnormal, with respect and expectation: "The son is the prince, the prince of the Han Dynasty, and he should do something." ”:
