Sweep the World

Usually the ministers said to the king that they were afraid of not really panic. It was like the ministers told the king that they were not really going to die because of their capital crimes. They just formed a kind of "opener" because of their special status.

This time it’s a little different. Liu Yan’s words sound very heavy. He is already asking for whom the country was built, which will give hundreds of officials a lot of imagination. For example, the king feels that his officials are deceiving, cunning, and rebelling... ...And so on countless kinds.

The relationship between the emperor and the minister is a subordinate relationship, and it is also a relationship of confrontation. When the power of the emperor is too great, it means that the power of the ministers is reduced to a minimum, and they even have to live in panic all the time. In the same way, when the power of the ministers is great, the power of the king will be reduced, and it is time for the king to live in panic.

Once the relationship between monarchs and ministers in the past dynasties is unbalanced, it is the beginning of the country's misfortune. Even if the wise monarch has too much power, only one mistake in his life will cause the country to fall into turmoil. The most obvious example is Li Longji of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.

The emperor should always be an arbiter and a chess player, and should not participate in the game himself. Of course, no one can shake Liu Yan's power. He has always been an arbiter and a chess player. That's exactly how he said those words would appear to have weight.

The ministers kneeling to the ground, panic is really panic. They ran into a king who could not be shaken by anyone. As ministers and workers, there was no good card to play against. Naturally, they would not be targeted by the king. If there is anything, once the king decides whom to take care of, it is best for that person to accept the king's ruling in peace.

People will definitely make mistakes in life, and those with power in their hands will have a greater chance of making mistakes. However, there is absolutely no innocence among those with power. The difference is that the mistakes made are not big, or the king will not pursue them.

"The Hu people have ravaged the Central Plains for decades, and the widows led the people to rescue the people from the hog rush and weeping, and they continued the magnificence of the Han family." Liu Yan looked very lonely at this moment, asking himself as well as hundreds of questions. Officer: "Nowadays, there are strong enemies peeping from outside, and the people inside are suffering. There are three or four of the Han family's old land that has not been recovered. Is there anyone among you who is unknown?"

First, the princes, followed by you, etc., representing the change in the attitude of the king.

If the hundred officials in the main hall are counted with the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system, only a few of them are Nine-Rank officials, and the rest are at least 4-Rank up. They can be said to be the class under the rule of Han, and they are also those with the greatest vested interests. They basically know what the king's aspirations are and what kind of environment the country faces.

The force of Han is strong. It can be seen from the fact that one country is the enemy of the world. When it comes to conquering Han, it does not attack any enemy, and it never doubts that the Han Nationality will fully recover the old land of the Han family.

It is estimated that from the easy destruction of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is concluded that the Han will surely dominate the world. Some people's thinking is really changing.

Taking Sangyu as an example, when Han was only a state with Qingzhou, he never thought of using the convenience of his identity to benefit his family, and even when the Han army captured Yanzhou and Yuzhou, the situation was not really clear before. Said to be one-minded for the public. He began to seek benefits for the family after the Huai Shui War had ended, this change would not be too strange, because he was not alone.

Being in a high position and always upholding the open mind...or that the king's will is the only one headed by Ji Chang. He was really loyal to the king with all his heart and soul. In his heart, he also longed for the king's great cause to be realized, that is, starting from the Central Plains, and then fully regaining the old land of the Han family, and finally sweeping the world to rule the entire island of the world.

There are not many people who know Liu Yan's ambitions, but not many serious ones. In these people's cognition, "Tian Xia" has always been only within the scope of the former Han Empire. Even if they know that the world is not so small, it is like being hypnotized, and basically ignores how much land there is outside.

It can be said that in the past dynasties, the "tianxia" was really only that big. Taking the places occupied by the Han Empire as the basic disk, at most including the grasslands and the western plateau, the rest will only be called "barren "Land" or "barren land" can be easily occupied without a second glance.

Maybe it's not just short-sighted, it's conditional restrictions, or the cost of occupation is too great?

After the Han Empire expanded repeatedly, after occupying the grasslands, they were a little at a loss. They were surprised to find that the grasslands were not suitable for farming. Since the collapse of the Qin Empire, the Han descent had lost this "skill" for herding, and could not generate sufficient benefits, but the payment was a drag on the national finances. They expanded west to the Western Regions and discovered that the Western Regions were a barren land with many Gobi and deserts, and there was nothing to the west of the Western Regions except sand.

The Tang Empire developed to its peak and encountered the dilemma of the Han Empire when it launched an aggressive war outside. Even if it was to lay a ground, it would not be difficult to rule, but the cost of ruling was astonishingly large but there would be no benefit. With the awkward situation of the Han Empire, the Tang Empire created a "Jizhou" policy, stationed a small number of troops in a certain place, and selected a local person as a puppet to rule on behalf of the Tang Empire. This allowed the Tang Empire to overcome the bottleneck encountered by the Han Empire. , At least the Tang Empire is a bit bigger than the Han Empire in its territory.

Of course, if you look for the old example, you can only use the Han Empire as a reference. If countless people look through the historical materials of the Han Empire, they will find the dilemma encountered after the Han Empire has expanded to the extreme, and come up with a "previous Han family map". It is already the limit of ruling, and further expansion will be a burden" conclusion.

Fortunately, there is only the Han Empire as an example. If there are examples of the Tang Empire, it is absolutely necessary to scare them from ignorant opposition to unlimited expansion to panic opposition to extreme expansion and restrictions on local military power. To be clear, the Tang Empire did not have too much black history during the expansion process, and then the local feudal towns were able to overthrow the center, and then the five generations and ten kingdoms came into being.

At this time, no one would say anything, they could only continue to worship on the ground, listening to Liu Yan expressing his thoughts there.

"Mencius said, the people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the light." Liu Yan was walking, his voice was still unhappy, and there was no mood swings: "Listen, widow is the least important one. It's all like this, can there be anyone who considers himself to be like a widow?"

What I want to say is that Mencius put forward many theories, but too few can be accepted. Among them, some of the remarks about "Zhang Ju Xia" were dismissed as Miao Tan, that is, not only the people did not approve it, but also the officials and officials. The king has always been a joke, just because it sounds good, but there is almost no possibility of execution. In addition, Mencius's life is as a "fighter". Traveling through various countries is almost catching one spray. The one who was sprayed the most badly was a monarch of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. The monarchs of the countries knew that Mencius had come and began to shut their doors. Rejection.

Liu Yan's words made all the ministers shout in unison: "The ministers are terrified!"

Aside from panic, there must be someone thinking about whether the emperor should start to follow the "Mencius line" and then recall from his small head what ideas Mencius had put forward for governing the country.

"If there are people, there will be a country. The people are the cornerstone of the country. The country pays taxes, pays taxes, and cannot separate the people from the people. With many small families gathered together, the country can be prosperous. The people can make the country prosperous by producing with peace of mind. The front is strong." Liu Yan never thought of taking the Mencius line, if there is a line that is too overbearing. He finally improved his tone and said: "The people are the foundation of all the great deeds of the widow. They love and cherish it. Some people bully and plunder the people and make the people separate from the widow. They are digging the corner of the widow's great cause! "

The voice reverberated in the hall, the previous false panic became real panic, and people who consciously worked too much began to swing all over.

Liu Yan didn't pay too much attention to what Baiguan looked like. He glanced at Xun Xian and nodded.

Xun Xian stepped out holding a scroll, and Lanxess said: "Wang Shangzhao, the ministers listen to the announcement!"

All the civil and military officials stood up and worshiped again, shouting in unison: "Chen, listen to the edict."

Reading edicts is generally the work of eunuchs. Liu Yan did not place eunuchs at first, and his personal secretary Lang did the work, including reading at the court and going to the homes of hundreds of officials to announce the call (decree).

The edict Xun Xian was proclaiming was not what the officials had imagined. They thought that someone would be dealt with, but when they heard it, it was a long reward.

Beginning when the edict was read, the Han Dynasty cancelled the division of the left and right prime ministers. Ji Chang served as prime minister and Sang Yu served as the envoy, and then a series of official positions were arranged.

Xu Zheng officially stepped down from the post of General Zhengnan to become Taiwei. This was quite unexpected. Although they were uneasy, they were happy that San Gong finally was no longer vacant, thinking that Liu Yan's proclaiming emperor was already on the agenda.

It was a bit surprised to hear that Yu Yi was appointed court lieutenants and ministers. They knew more or less why the Yu clan moved to Han, doubting the exchange conditions had changed, and thinking about the impact of Yu Yi becoming court lieutenants.

Naturally, Yu Yi’s appointment as a court officer must have a foundation, and the foundation is the merits of the Yu clan in the Jiankang battle, and the Huan clan and many aristocratic families will be rewarded if they have merit, so that they would have flooded the southern family with the court. People who are wary have to think more.

The edict is very long, and important appointments involve many interest groups. If you analyze it carefully, you will find that under the shift in the distribution of the three masters and nine princes, a set of balance has been formed.

To say that whoever was the happiest and most excited in the hall was too Ran Min, excited that some people who had followed him were promoted to the ranks, and happy that Sang Yu was banished from the post of Prime Minister You.

The prime minister is left with only one left and no longer divided between left and right, which means that the rights that originally belonged to the prime minister have been concentrated. Ji Chang is a very pure person, and his appointment as prime minister shows that the king has made important adjustments to the distribution of power.

It cannot be said that the position of the ambassador is not important. If the prime minister is the highest chief executive of a country’s government, the power of the ambassador is mainly to manage records, manage drawings, memorials, and supervise the civil and military officials. The power is not small at all.

Sang Yu’s transfer to the post of the ambassador did not degrade from the administrative level, because the actual status of the ambassador was originally equivalent to the deputy prime minister. In the past, Sangyu was the deputy prime minister. In addition to the power of civil administration, on the contrary, there is an additional important power to supervise the civil and military officials.

The edicts are still being read, and some people have not heard about themselves and began to fluctuate in their emotions. Among them, Ran Min and Huan Wen are the most anxious.

Xu Zheng was originally General Zhengnan. After he was promoted to Taiwei, the position of General Zhengnan was vacant. At present, the Han war against the south of the Yangtze River has not ended. It stands to reason that Xu Zheng should be renewed after he resigns. Appointment.

Huan Wen believes that he is the most suitable candidate for the general to conquer the south, not because he was born in the south of the Yangtze River, but also about the Han Guotang's further investigation of him. And if he becomes a general of Zhengnan, he will not favor the southern family in anything, and he should say that he will be more ruthless than the others. Next, he first conquered Li's Chenghan, and eliminated Li's Chenghan, but he was not promoted in the military position. In this way, no matter how he looked at it, he was the best candidate for General Zhengnan.

Xun Xian was still reading. Just now Liu Yan went crazy, and suddenly there was an edict before he took any action. The panic and anxiety in Baiguan's heart was washed away with the announcement of the edict. Baiguan's attention was Turn to changes in the political situation.

The edict finally read the part of the military. What Ran Min heard was that he was promoted to General Hussar. Although he was a little disappointed and not a general, most of it was still more happy in his heart.

In fact, there are not many core military positions in Han. Taiwei is placed as the first general, but the Taiwei will not lead the war at all. Then the generals, hussars, chariot generals, and champion generals can lead the battle. The position of military commanders at the level of three men is very important, and generals, lieutenants, and middle leaders, who are commanders at the level of Jiuqing, actually do not go out to fight.

As he wished, Huan Wen almost grinned when he heard that he had become General Zhengnan.

Among the four generals of the Han country ~www.wuxiamtl.com~, the military powers of the General North and General Zhengnan are the most powerful. After all, there are Shijie Zhao Kingdom, Murong Yan Kingdom, and Tuoba Dai Kingdom in the north, and there are many more in the South. The family is stubbornly resisting. General Zhengxi is a polished rod at present, with only one shogunate but no direct field corps. General Zhengdong seemed rather weird. In addition to a small number of directly affiliated troops, he was a servant army of many countries, and he also supervised the fleets in the East China Sea and the Bohai Sea.

Lu Tai'an knelt down and bowed to the ground peacefully. He thought that the reward might have nothing to do with him. He was stunned when he heard that he was appointed as General Zhengdong, and then he looked up at Liu Yan gratefully.

It is not only Lu Tai who is pleasantly surprised, but Xie An knows his family affairs.

Xie An's performance in the war against Shi Jie Zhao Guo can only be said to be quite satisfactory with some brilliance, and absolutely cannot be said to be outstanding. However, he knew that his slackness was too obvious after the southern transfer, and it was a great luck not to be dismissed from his post. Furthermore, the Xie clan became a bit harder in the confrontation between the Han and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which caused him to hear himself. I was really stunned when he was appointed as the general of Seixizhong.

Zhong Lang will be a necessary way to be promoted to general. Xie An was surprised to realize that the advance of Han to the west was already on the agenda, but he didn't know when.
