Liu Che looked at his brothers and said slowly: "It has been four years since the death of the emperor, and it has been nearly five years since the brothers became kings and became kings!"

"The ancients said that if you don't make a sound for three years, you will become a blockbuster!"

"I have been king for five years now. I am the king of a country and the leader of my lineage!"

"I will wait for my father today and test you!"

"Wei!" The brothers bowed one after another: "Your Majesty, please take a test..."

As for the father?

Of course Brother Emperor can mention it.

But they can't.

Because legally speaking, they are all branches.

Liu Che smiled slightly and said calmly: "Since Zhao Nunsui, Handan has no owner, and the world has been disturbed, and the people are uneasy. All brothers are the kings of a country, and they were ordered by the late emperor to be the lords of the land!

"

Liu Che blinked his eyes and asked: "In the opinion of all the kings, who can be the Lord of Handan in this world?"

"Or, simply make Handan the county?"

There is no doubt that this is a plot to kill three people with two peaches.

And it's a conspiracy.

Liu Che deliberately wanted to make it clear among the brothers: Which of you wants to be the King of Zhao?

As soon as this question came out, all the brothers immediately became short of breath.

Even the youngest Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng felt a little red-faced.

Zhao Guo!

One of the most important vassal kingdoms in the world today.

Since the rise of the Han Dynasty, it has attracted countless princes and kings, like moths to a flame, one after another.

So far, as many as five princes and kings have died in the position of King Zhao (including King Zhao of Zhu Lu).

It’s really because Zhao is too rich and there are too many beauties in Zhao!

How beautiful are the beauties of Zhao Di?

Since the Han Dynasty, almost all the emperors of the past dynasties, except today, have raped and indulged a noble concubine from the State of Zhao.

Among the Zhao kings in the past, there were even some infatuated men like Liu You who were willing to confront Lu Hou just for the sake of his concubine, and were eventually starved to death.

Don't men live in this world just for power and women?

As for Zhao State, it has both.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Che finished speaking, Changshan King Liu Fei stepped forward and bowed confidently: "Your Majesty, my brother, please accept your order. I am willing to serve as King Zhao and your Majesty's sword!"

Liu Fei raised his head and said, "My brother, I am nineteen years old and already eight feet tall. I can draw three bows in a row and lift a thousand-jin cauldron!"

“You can ride your horse for hundreds of miles without getting rolled, you can command your army for thousands of miles and conquer the country!”

"My brother heard that there is a proverb among the people: Brothers working together can cut through metal. Now your Majesty has great ambitions to spread the country! Please order my brother to be the king of Zhao, supervise the soldiers of Yan and Zhao to go north, and drive the Xiongnu far away!"

What Liu Fei said was impassioned.

It also fits his usual image.

In the history of the past, the King of Jiangdu of the Emperor Wu Dynasty wrote more than once, requesting that even if he was just a general, he would go into battle to kill the enemy.

The result was naturally ignored.

But Liu Che appreciated Liu Fei's statement very much.

For any emperor, his princes and kings, especially his brothers, are a constant problem.

He can't be hit, he can't be scolded, he can't be scolded.

No emperor is willing to deal with his brother unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, throughout history, all dynasties have treated princes and kings like pigs.

The emperor's requirements for his brothers are as stupid as possible.

But that was limited to the period of contraction and decline of the dynasty.

Don't look at other people, just look at the brothers and sisters of Zhou Wu and Zhou Cheng.

At the time of Zong Zhou, most of Zhou's territory was developed by the princes and princes.

Wu Yue in the south, Yan and Jin in the north.

The descendants of the Ji family of Zongzhou, with their hard work and pioneering efforts from generation to generation, finally determined the territory of China today.

Liu Che wanted to build a world empire, and he also needed the Liu princes to open up territories for him and serve as colonial pioneers.

It's never a good thing to be in a nest.

Expanding territory abroad is what a man should do.

Don't tell Liu Che that there is a desert in the north, a sea in the east, a jungle in the south, and mountains in the west.

When Zongzhou was established, the south was a primitive jungle, and the north was basically dominated by Rong and Di.

Even near Haojing, Zongzhou's home base, there are threats from the Kun, Di and other tribes.

At that time, opening up the world was actually no easier than it is now.

In fact, it is much more difficult than expanding to all directions now!

But the concubines and emperors of Zongzhou, as well as the princes, relied on their efforts little by little to make the impossible possible.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, countless foreign wars between the Emperor Zongzhou and the princes were recorded.

There were even emperors who died on the way to the imperial conquest.

As for the princes, countless princes from various countries died on the battlefield.

Only by taking history as a mirror can we know the rise and fall.

Exploiting strengths, avoiding weaknesses, and applying them to the current world is what smart people do.

Of course, Liu Che could not confirm that Liu Fei really wanted to be a pioneering Liu clan king and dedicate his youth to future generations.

Therefore, Liu Che smiled and said: "I highly commend Changshan King for his determination to pioneer...but..."

Liu Che changed the subject and said: "The State of Zhao is no longer a frontline, and the State of Zhao is no longer a war zone!"

This is indeed true!

The Battle of Mayi marked the Han family's transition from strategic defense to strategic offense.

As long as the Huns had any brains, they would not be able to invade on a large scale.

Because the Battle of Mayi told the Huns that if they go deep into the Han Dynasty, they may be made dumplings at any time.

In this way, Yanzhao changed from the front line to the rear.

When Liu Fei heard this, he was slightly stunned and didn't know what to say.

Liu Che patted the other party on the shoulder and said: "If King Changshan really has the heart to serve the country and the ambition to pioneer, I will regard him as King Meng in the future!"

"King Meng?" Liu Fei asked stupidly.

"Well!" Liu Che took Liu Fei's hand and said: "Use the Jiuyuan County, Hetao and Yinshan area of ​​the old Qin Dynasty to establish the Mongolian Kingdom, and use Wang Wangzhi to sit on the Hetao to intimidate Hexi and invade the grassland!"

After hearing this, Liu Fei's eyes lit up, he nodded hurriedly, and bowed happily: "My brother is willing to be King Meng!"

"Cute King..." Liu Che was also happy in his heart.

It is crucial to place a prince king at key locations in the Hetao and Hexi areas.

If a Liu clan is based here, it can ensure that Hetao and Hexi areas will always be Han territories.

In order to protect their feudal states and the country, the princes and kings will do whatever it takes.

Moreover, a Liu family prince, especially the emperor's younger brother, was personally in charge of the local area and could effectively develop the area.

The princes and kings were more attentive to developing their own territories than the bureaucrats.

For example, the North Korean king Liu Ming worked as a bureaucrat in North Korea.

It has been less than three years since North Korea was included in the territory of China. Now, the Kingdom of North Korea has been dressed in Chinese clothes from the inside out, from top to bottom.

The rites of the barbarians and the backward tribal system of the past have all disappeared.

Today's Korean Kingdom has become a Chinese vassal state with three counties and twenty-five counties.

Why is this so?

Because when bureaucracies govern a place, foreign workers will be wasted, and there will be bureaucratic problems of muddling along and not daring to take action.

For bureaucrats, keeping their job is more important than anything else.

Therefore, they did not dare to kill the local indigenous people and tribes, for fear of intensifying the situation and causing problems, which would be investigated by the higher authorities.
