After some twists and turns, Wang Nian and Xu Xi were able to meet Emperor Liu in Qionglin Garden. Emperor Liu, who had already received the news, showed his kind face as a loving father in heaven, and expressed gentle words of comfort to Wang Nian who was experiencing the pain of losing his father.
While expressing regret and condolences for Wang Zhao's death, he also quickly agreed with their farewells, firmly supported Wang Nian's succession, and asked the Ministry of Rites to send someone as an envoy to accompany Wang Nian back to the country to endorse his platform, so that Wang Nian would
The young man was extremely moved.
After meeting Emperor Liu, Wang Min felt completely at ease. On the way back to the city after leaving Qionglin Garden, she was even excited and couldn't help but smile.
Obviously, compared with the important ministers of Goryeo like Xu Xi, the promise of the Han Dynasty was more important. As long as Emperor Liu gave a word of support, he could return to his country to inherit the throne of Goryeo without worrying about other troubles.
"This Wang Nian is an interesting person!" In the cool flower hall, Liu Yang, who came to play chess, played chess with him. When he mentioned Wang Nian, he couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Yang, who was seriously competing with Emperor Liu on the chessboard, couldn't help but show a strange look on his face when he heard this comment, as if he didn't know how to answer this.
Noticing his expression, Emperor Liu said: "Why, you also think Wang Nian is a bit ridiculous?"
Liu Yang nodded and said: "At a young age, I have been greedy for enjoyment, indulged in fun, and spent money like water. As a crown prince, I really can't imagine what the future of the subjects of Goryeo will be like after welcoming such a lord.
How vague and gloomy it is.”
Hearing his emotion, Emperor Liu couldn't help but smile: "Is this a good thing or a bad thing for the big man?"
Immediately afterwards, he added: "Then Wang Zhao can be regarded as a promising king. He reformed and reformed, worked hard to govern, and strengthened the royal power. But in the end, he was ambitious and tried to challenge the authority of the Han Dynasty, which ultimately brought much turmoil and losses to the Goryeo Kingdom.
?
Although Wang Miao is unbearable, for the Han Dynasty, having such a docile vassal monarch in power will actually improve the relationship between the two countries. Of course, no matter how much trouble he will have in Goryeo in the future, where will Goryeo go, it will pose a threat to the Han Dynasty.
will all weaken!
When Wang Zhao came to the court, although he expressed his surrender, he also expressed to me in a vague way that he hoped that the court could withdraw the Donghai Navy and return Jeju Island to Goryeo.
Obviously, as a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, a monarch like Wang Zhao is very unfriendly and would rather be a mediocre ruler!"
Listening to Emperor Liu's naked statement, Liu Yang also chuckled twice and said: "Actually, I also understand that it is not how absurd and fatuous Wang Niao is, but his attitude towards the court. Although he has been in Tokyo for two years,
Although Huang Yu was playing around, he could tell by asking from the side that this person was very sympathetic to the big man.
Over the years, many nobles from foreign countries have lingered in the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, which greatly increased their goodwill towards the court. After they return, they will publicize the prosperity of the Han Dynasty more, making the strength of the Han Dynasty more popular among the people.
, can only yearn for it and dare not betray it, which also invisibly eliminates conflicts and disasters..."
After listening to what Liu Yang said, Emperor Liu said: "This is one of them. Then have you ever thought that the prosperity of the Han Dynasty will certainly attract the yearning of foreign races, but won't it also arouse their covetousness? In the past, how many barbarians did not
Isn’t it because you are determined to invade the Central Plains because you have taken a fancy to the prosperous and colorful world of China, with its dazzling mountains and rivers?”
"This is indeed ignored!" Liu Yang frowned subconsciously. Perhaps Liu Yang himself didn't realize that the frequency of his frowns has become higher and higher in recent years, which is probably due to the pressure brought by responsibility.
Seeing his reaction, Emperor Liu said calmly: "There is nothing to worry about. As long as the Han Dynasty is strong enough to protect the people of the country, why should we fear foreign countries coveting it? Just stay prepared for danger in times of peace and don't slack off!"
But having said that, people from foreign lands can linger and yearn for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and businessmen and people can be proud and immersed in the prosperity of the country, but those in power in the government must always keep a clear mind. If even you people are intoxicated
Among them, there will be problems sooner or later!"
"Yes! I will keep my father's teachings in mind!" Liu Yang said immediately.
However, Emperor Liu showed a little disappointment when he said these words. Obviously, he knew in his heart that this is the truth and how difficult it is to achieve it!
When he is in power, he can always supervise and spur him. Even if Liu Yang succeeds to the throne in the future, he still believes that he can correctly lead the Han Dynasty and continue to move forward. What about the king from another life? What about the king in the next life?
When you think about it more deeply, a heartbreaking answer comes to mind...
With some resentment in his tone unconsciously, Emperor Liu said: "This Wang Min has a young mind. Although his behavior is a little absurd, in the end he does no great harm to the country.
Wang Miao may be useless, but how can my son, your brother, and the princes of the Han Dynasty fare better? Let’s not talk about others, let’s talk about Liu Shu. From childhood to adulthood, he received the same education as you, and he was punished with rulers and whips.
, he still can’t help but act recklessly, if I hadn’t been there to suppress him, the ridiculous things he could have done would have been even more outrageous than Wang Nian!”
After listening to Emperor Liu's reprimand, Liu Yang smiled and said: "My father still loves and repays the ninth brother deeply. Since the lifting of the ban in Zongzheng Temple, the ninth brother has matured a lot. When Fengchen camp participated in the training, he also
Very hardworking, never absent or late..."
"You are a good brother!" Emperor Liu glanced at Liu Yang and said, "Speaking for him like this? If he really changed, would he frequent Peony Square? What kind of place is that? I don't know?
Sheep heads, selling dog meat, flashy and gaudy places should be banned!"
When Emperor Liu said this, Zhang Dejun, who was standing with Yantuo, couldn't help but look embarrassed. Of course he knew the situation in Mudanfang. Although he could hear that Emperor Liu was just speaking out of anger, he could not help but be overly worried and felt that
This is a knock on yourself.
"I'm afraid Wang Miao and Xu Xi will be in a hurry to return to Goryeo. The Ministry of Rites will send people to keep an eye on them and make sure to arrange for capable officials!" Emperor Liu quickly changed the subject and warned: "In addition, please send an order to the Donghai Navy to let the navy
Lin Renzhao personally took the people and escorted them across the sea to return home!"
"Yes!" Liu Yangsurong agreed.
After so many years, the Han army has undergone another change. The old generals and nobles who conquered the world have gradually retreated to the background or the second line. The past backbone generals and a large number of second-generation nobles and rising stars have gradually emerged.
Nowadays, those who are famous among the armies inside and outside the Han Dynasty are no longer Murong, Chai, Gao, Zhao, Xiang, and Wang. Instead, they are Yang Ye, Guo Jin, Ma Renyu, Tian Chongjin, Tian Renlang, Dong Zunyue,
Liu Guangyi and other generals.
This group of people, except for Yang Ye, is only slightly weaker in terms of qualifications, but in terms of merit, combat experience, and ability to unite the army, they are undoubtedly the backbone of the Han army.
Of course, the navy is not as bright as the army generals, and the replacement speed is much slower. To this day, the person in charge of the military affairs of the Donghai Navy, the most powerful force in the Han Dynasty, is still the veteran Guo Tingwei.
Of course, some underachievers have gradually risen to fame, and Lin Renzhao is one of the representative figures. In terms of qualifications and age, Lin Renzhao is not young anymore, and he is also a general who was demoted to the Southern Tang Dynasty, but he still has talents, such as water warfare.
He was proficient in all land warfare. During the Northern Expedition, he also fought with the East China Sea Navy and made great contributions.
Now he is in charge of the Denglai Navy and is responsible for the security of the Han Dynasty's northern seas. He is one of the few senior generals in the navy. Of course, because of this, some gossips cannot be avoided within the imperial court, because the Han Dynasty's navy is filled with a large number of southerners.
The generals, whether Guo Tingwei or Lin Renzhao, were all surrendered generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
In this regard, Emperor Liu's attitude was also very clear. Northerners ride horses and southerners use boats. If a technical force like the naval force does not use southern soldiers, can it still be used by northern landlubbers?
When Xiang Xun was given command of the Jingjiang Army, it was too difficult for someone to do. What's more, now that the country is unified and the north and south are confused, and then deliberately distinguishing the north and the south is simply self-contradiction and self-inflicted conflict. Therefore, Emperor Liu did not respond to those dissenting voices.
Instead of obeying, they made a lot of appointments to the navy generals in the south. After all, they were professionals.
As for the issue of loyalty, with the current situation of the Han Dynasty and the authority of the imperial court, how could there be any fear of betrayal? What's more, the Navy Pima Infantry Army is an army that relies more on the support of the imperial court and is easier to be controlled by the imperial court.
"Fifth brother came to me this morning, hoping to represent the imperial court and accompany Wang Min to Goryeo!" Liu Yang asked Emperor Liu for instructions.
Hearing this, Emperor Liu suddenly looked surprised and said unexpectedly: "Why does he like to be carefree in his comfort zone? Why is he willing to travel far away?"
Liu Yang said: "The fifth brother said that for so many years, he has not done any errands for the court or shared worries for his father, and he felt guilty. In addition, he had some friendship with Wang Nian, so he became interested..."
"I think he is also very thoughtful!" Emperor Liu still had a smile on his lips: "However, this is also a good thing. It is rare that he can take the initiative to think of doing some errands for the court. If he agrees to his request, let him be the leader.
Let’s go to Goryeo! The prince of the Han Dynasty went to express his condolences on behalf of the court. The court must have given Goryeo a lot of face!”
"Of course it is!" Liu Yang said, his reaction was very calm. He just mentioned Liu Yun's item. It would be great if Emperor Liu agreed. If he disagreed, he would do his best.
But obviously, Emperor Liu would not disagree. As for the princes of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu was still happy for them to go out for training. Liu Yang also knew this very well.
