After the arrangements for Liu Fang were made, not to mention what other people thought, at least as the prince, Liu Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, among the brothers, if Jin King Liu Xi is the person he fears the most, then Zhao Wang Liu Fang is second only to Liu Xi. There is no other reason. After Yulin put down the rebellion and returned to the court, Liu Fang rested for a while, but
Immediately afterwards, he was once again appointed by Emperor Liu like Liu Xi, and was in charge of military-related work. Now he is now in charge of the daily affairs of the Imperial Guards Department as the Marquis of Guards Ma Bujun.
Although the Guards Department and the Guards Department of the Three Forbidden Army Offices have been dominated by the Palace Division in the past few decades, their strength has always been strong, at least in terms of scale. In the years of changes and transfers, the Three Forbidden Army Offices have been
A new pattern has also been formed. The Inspection Department has been completely reduced to a public security emergency force. In the eyes of Han officials and people, it appears most frequently and has the strongest sense of presence. At the same time, it also has the strongest actual political influence. After all, most of the key points in the two capitals except the imperial city are
Soldiers from the Inspection Department are in charge everywhere.
The Palace Front Division and the Guards Division focus on military professionalism. The equipment, training and combat effectiveness of the soldiers are no longer comparable to those of the Patrol Division. At the same time, the influence of the Palace Front Division and the Guards Division is no longer limited.
In the two capitals or around the capital, after the Kaibao Northern Expedition, Emperor Liu deeply implemented the military rotation system and actively promoted the central government's ban on rotation to garrison border areas and important areas.
Therefore, today's Imperial Guards of the Han Dynasty are not just the "Central Army" that defends the capital, but their influence has already spread to key places across the country. When it comes to strength in various places, the Guards Division is better than the Palace Division.
The Horse Guards and Infantry Commander Yuhou is only ranked fifth in the leadership system of the Guards Department. Above this position, there are also the chief and deputy guards, the Horse and Infantry Commanders, the Guards and Infantry Commanders, and the Guards and Infantry Commanders.
However, the above four positions have gradually been stripped of their authority over the years of changes. In the 26th year of Kaibao, they have become a retirement home for military lieutenant generals who have been relegated to the second line. Their reputational attributes are higher than their actual duties. Ma Bu, a subordinate of the Guards Department
The actual control and command of the armies is the responsibility of the generals of each army and the princes of Yu. These people are also rising stars in the army. The older generation have basically withdrawn from the army to make way for the younger generations.
The actual leader of the Guards Department, who is responsible for handling various general affairs, is Yuhou, the capital of the Mabu Army. This is the real power position in the Guards and Imperial Army. Liu Fang, with the dignity of a prince, also leads the work of the Guards Department, and wants to avoid attracting attention.
It is difficult for anyone to pay attention to it. You must know that Emperor Liu's love for King Zhao is known to both the government and the public.
In this regard, it is difficult for Prince Liu Yang to deceive himself and say that he can trust Liu Fang. In other aspects, he may be a little hesitant and slow, but he has always had a clear understanding of the sensitivity and importance of military power around Emperor Liu.
know.
Whenever he thought about Liu Fang's past achievements and prestige in the army, and then thought about Emperor Liu's favor and leadership of the bodyguard department, Liu Yang felt a certain sense of worry in his heart. That is to say, Liu Fang was magnanimous and never showed it.
There was no intention to seize the legitimate son, or any overstepping behavior, otherwise it is difficult to say what the relationship between the two brothers would have become. Even so, Liu Yang was still very wary of Liu Fang.
Now, after listening to Emperor Liu's intention, Liu Fang was to be sent to Anxi to forage for food with the three brothers Liu Min and Liu Ye. Liu Yang naturally relaxed a lot and glanced at Jin Wang Liu Xi intentionally or unintentionally.
Among the four eldest brothers, only this prince is left in charge of the affairs, but I don't know what Emperor Liu plans to do.
However, what made Liu Yang a little confused and a little wary was that Emperor Liu did not make any arrangements for Liu Xi's future in the end.
Compared to Liu Xu, Liu Fang, and Liu Yun, Emperor Liu seemed a little careless in awarding rewards to other princes, announcing the results directly without any discussion.
The seventh prince Liu Hui was named the New King of Wu (Sumatra Island), the eighth prince Liu Ai, and the eleventh prince Liu Xiao were named the New King of Lu and the New King of Liang respectively. The two brothers divided Java Island together.
The twelfth prince Liu Han is the new king of New Yue, the fourteenth prince Liu Xin is the new king of Song Dynasty, and the fifteenth prince Liu Han is the new king of Han. The three brothers occupy the island of Kalimantan.
Of course, Emperor Liu's enfeoffment of the Nanyang Islands was somewhat taken for granted and somewhat wishful thinking. At least on the three major islands involved, there are still some indigenous organizations and political powers. So far, the Han merchants have only gained some strongholds.
, acquired some land, mines, and built some towns. Unlike Andong and Linyi, they did not fully have mature conditions for enfeoffment.
This is on the premise of avoiding the "little power" of Srivijaya. It is conceivable that even if it is just dealing with some Nanyang indigenous people, the implementation of the enfeoffment will not be easy.
With the issuance of Emperor Liu's edict on the enfeoffment of Nanyang, I am afraid that there will be another storm in the south, and even lead to a bloody storm. At least the three-island regime that was designated as a princely state by Emperor Liu's will will not be easily
Agreed. After all, this is different from the expansion and colonization by Han merchants. This is actually an annexation, and it is obviously impossible to implement the feudal state with just a few princes.
However, although the problem exists, it does not affect Emperor Liu's heroic and hearty passion to dominate the world at this moment, and the courtiers can only follow his temper for the time being.
Of course, Emperor Liu did not seal off all his descendants at once when he arrived. The sixteenth son Liu Yao did not have a fiefdom. The other tenth son of the emperor, Duke Liu Zhao of Yan Kingdom, was also an ordinary person. Another important figure was the King of Jin Liu Xi.
Therefore, when Emperor Liu asked people to put away the enfeoffment map and slowly returned to the throne, almost everyone turned their attention to Liu Xi and Liu Zhao, and their eyes were full of profound meaning.
Liu Zhao is the third son of Fu Housheng, the nominal second son, and Liu Xi is the political prince. Both of their identities have certain specialities, and Emperor Liu treats him specially, so don't blame others for thinking too much.
.
Therefore, there were still some eyes looking at the prince Liu Yang, as if they wanted to see his reaction and expression. Unfortunately, Liu Yang only had a calm face in front of others.
Before he knew it, midnight had passed, and the atmosphere in Chui Gong Hall was not filled with joy due to the agreement on enfeoffment. Instead, it was a bit depressing, and everyone was silent. Obviously, not everyone was willing to accept Emperor Liu's will of enfeoffment.
Yes, I accepted it, but I was just forced by his authority and didn't dare to resist...

Probably feeling the hesitation and dissatisfaction of the princes, Emperor Liu glanced around with a cold gaze and said: "I still say what I said, leave it to your own free will. If I don't have my ambition, I can take it back and give it another title!"
Still no one believes this...
"That's it for today!" The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Emperor Liu was a little tired. In the end, he didn't say anything more and waved his hand to chase away the people.
Emperor Liu needs time to continue thinking about and perfecting his enfeoffment plan. The princes also need to digest this, think about the future path, and find ways to deal with this situation...
