74, leave a legend
"Come, read this memorial loudly!"
After this time, Liu Qi's face had calmed down, but only those who were most familiar with him could find his excitement and ecstasy at this moment from the subtle movements.
Under the steps, the civil and military officials had already stopped all their actions.
After hearing the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, they all sat upright and listened attentively.
"Why is the king's first month? The great unification of the Spring and Autumn Period!"
After only a few words, the civil servants present changed their faces.
Among them are the giants of the Huang-Lao School, the elites of the Legalists, and the bigwigs of Confucianism. These few short words ring in their ears like evening drums and morning bells.
Many questions that lingered in my heart and were puzzled suddenly came to an answer at this moment.
A great scholar who majored in the Spring and Autumn Period was even more crying without hesitation, and kept shouting in his heart: "This must be an article made by my great wise men, and I should treat it as a teacher."
He felt a pilgrimage in his heart, as if he had seen the rebirth of all the sects.
Although the generals couldn't understand it very well, after careful consideration, wasn't the content in the memorial a true portrayal of some of their thoughts?
Great unification is not only a cultural unification, but also a lord and sovereignty.
If we want to achieve these, we are inseparable from our warriors.
This is the simplest idea in the minds of many military generals.
Above the palace, the little yellow gate continued to recite the contents of the memorial.
The more you listen, the greater the impact it will bring to the courtiers.
The Legalists and the Huang-Lao Scholars even looked heartbroken, sighing why such a truth was written by others.
People who respond faster have already made up their minds to add this idea to their own doctrine after they go back.
Except for a few people who majored in the Spring and Autumn Period, most of the Confucian masters were mourning.
At this time, the dispute over Taoism within Confucianism was much more violent than the struggle outside. The loser would be erased from the text and spirit, which was more than ten times more cruel than the destruction of the simple physical body.
In the end, everyone listened to the loud voice, and there was only one question left in their hearts:
"who is he?"
?? "Is there any great scholar who has refined the Spring and Autumn Period in the palace, and is the university valuation?"
"Or, this is just His Majesty the Emperor pretended to be a maze, but it was actually His Majesty the Emperor's arrangement?"
"But it doesn't make sense. This strategy is beneficial to the present and the future, so why should we hide it?"
In the court, the ministers had thought about it and never figured out who this person was.
Legal giant Chao Cuo glanced at the face of Emperor Liu Qi on the steps, and suddenly a ridiculous thought came to his mind.
Could this memorial be presented by the eldest prince Liu Rong?
He was immediately startled by his thoughts, but then shook his head.
The literary attainments in this memorial are second, but the allusions used in it will definitely not be written without those who have been studying the Spring and Autumn Book for decades.
Even if Liu Rong starts studying from his mother's womb, he doesn't have enough time.
At this time, Liu Qi, who was sitting back on the dragon throne, also showed a look of entanglement on his face.
Should we publish the author of this memorial?
He could roughly guess the intention of Liu Rong's memorial, which made him feel guilty about his eldest son while laughing and scolding.
I have indeed neglected my children over the years.
Liu Qi sighed slightly in his heart. Although he was appointed as the crown prince very early, his status was not stable.
The last emperor's favorite son was always Liu Yi, King Huai of Liang, and he also specially sent Jia Yi, the first country's scholar, to serve as Liu Yi's grand tutor, to teach him carefully.
If Liu Yi hadn't accidentally fallen off his horse and died later, perhaps he would not be himself sitting on this Golden Palace at this time.
It is hard for outsiders to imagine how much pressure Liu Qi was under at that time. It is precisely because of this that he has to prove it to his deceased father.
He is more competent in the position of emperor than Liu Yi.
Liu Qi suddenly looked around. The memorial was passed by so many people, and it was almost a joke to keep it secret.
Thinking of this, he nodded to the little yellow door beside him.
The little yellow gate immediately said loudly: "Prince Rong, report it."
Wow~
"It's actually the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong!"
In the court, all the civil and military officials showed disbelief on their faces.
After confirming each other several times, the ministers accepted that they had not heard the fact that they had not misheard.
Immediately afterwards, a big question arose in everyone's mind.
Then how could Liu Rong write such a memorial?
If it were someone else, they might have questioned it long ago.
But since this matter involves the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong, and His Majesty the Emperor agrees again, if they speak out, wouldn’t they question His Majesty the Emperor?
So, after a brief hustle and bustle, the ministers tacitly closed their mouths.
It looks like he is listening to the Hadith.
The matters inside the Liu family are all matters, so they should not interfere.
"Prince Liu Rong, who made a meritorious report, was exempted from the punishment of thinking about his mistakes in the closed door. He was awarded another 100 gold and ten pieces of satin."
The merits must be rewarded, and the mistakes must be punished. This is the tradition of the old Liu family, and Liu Qi just followed this rule.
Well, even the symbolic punishment was gone. The doctoral officer Zhang knew about it like a spring, so he had to jump up in anger.
The ministers still had quite objections to His Majesty’s words, not that the reward was too thick, but that the Tao was too thin.
If this strategy was made by an opposition scholar, by virtue of this strategy, at least one can get an official position with a rank of 2,000 stones.
If this strategy was made by the ministers present, then it can be said that the position of the Nine Ministers was already waving to him.
This is not an exaggeration at all. In the long run, it provides a theoretical basis for the legitimate dominance of the Han Dynasty.
To put it simply, this also provided a good excuse for the court's subsequent vassal reduction.
You should know what is the biggest difficulty in reducing the vassal states today?
First, there is no precedent to follow, and second, there is no theory to support.
That's why I've been struggling until now, and I still haven't discussed it clearly in the court.
But now with Liu Rong's unified theory, it means that he has the strongest support.
What is great unification? Naturally, it refers to the unity of territory, politics and culture.
Anyone who opposes unification is opposing the deepest demands in the hearts of all Han people.
If the publicity is done properly, this strategy can at least weaken the morale of the army in major vassal states above the third level.
Anyone with a little military knowledge knows what this means.
In the eyes of old ministers like Shentu Jia and Dou Ying who have led soldiers, this strategy can even be an elite soldier of 100,000.
After hearing the following discussion, Liu Qi naturally knew that this move was suspected of unfair rewards and punishments, but he had his own considerations. It was not advisable to stimulate his younger brother too much at this time.
"Okay, that's how it's decided."
Who made Liu Rong the emperor's son? Since Liu Qi made such a decision, the other ministers naturally had nothing to say.
As the ministers left the palace, this strategy spread at an astonishing speed.
