I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 201 Controlling the princes and kings
Regarding the ability to seize power in a disguised form, Liu Jian, who traveled from later generations, is naturally far superior in this regard to people of this era.

Don't look at Hejian Wang and others as princes and kings, but in the final analysis, they are just a group of people who have just been able to start a mansion. In terms of basic ability and quality, they are still far behind Liu Jian. Liu Jian wants to play with them, even if he closes his eyes. Can kill them.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is easy to catch.

Especially at present, the bargaining chips in the hands of the princes and kings of Jizhou are far less than Liu Jian.

Among their subordinates, people like Zhang He and Gao Lan who felt cheated were not in the minority in the army of the five princes and kings.

These people who can be conscripted by the princes and kings to serve as military officers in the palace have some influence in the local county.

But because of Emperor Liu Hong's irritating check and balance policy, the princes and kings did not have enough ability to meet the political needs of these local military officers.

This also gave Liu Jian, Jizhou Mu, the opportunity to see every stitch.

In the entire Jizhou, when it comes to the person who can give the greatest policy to the local tyrants, there is no doubt that it is Liu Jian.

Moreover, Liu Jian has now gone through a series of rectifications, and he is already an unambiguous existence in the southern part of Jizhou. His appeal in policies must far exceed those of the princes and kings.

And Liu Jian is confident that even if he digs the roots of the princes and kings in the army in the county, these princes and kings will thank him, because Liu Hong's policies for the princes and kings will not allow them to support the army in the long run.

In the short term, the princes and kings can spend their own money to raise soldiers, but after a long time, it will inevitably become a problem.

Soldiers and finances, including agriculture, complement each other, and only princes and kings with soldiers and horses are even worse than nomads.

After Zhang He and Gao Lan listened to Liu Jian's general report, they were already excited.

Although they have not yet shown any urgency to move "their establishment" from the princes and kings to the pastoral office.

But then, the two people's attitude towards Liu Jian obviously became extremely respectful.

At the same time, they also began to make suggestions for Liu Jian regarding the battle situation in the north of Youzhou, and try their best to show their abilities.

Although the two of them did not bluntly say that they wanted to transfer their identities to the pastoral department, they suddenly tried their best to plan for Liu Jian, which is enough to see that they were expressing their loyalty to Liu Jian from another angle.

Hejian Kingdom is relatively close to Youzhou, and both Zhang He and Gao Lan traveled to Youbeiping in the past, so they know some things about Wuhuan better.

They told Liu Jian that at present, Qiu Liju, the master of Wuhuan in Liaoxi County, is in charge of five thousand towns, and he is relatively powerful among Wuhuan in the ten counties. For those that are difficult to control, please Liu Jian pay attention to him.

Liu Jian, who has heard a little about history, naturally knew that Qiu Liju was a traitor who accompanied Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, but although he knew what Zhang He and Gao Lan reported, he still expressed his feelings to Zhang He and Gao Lan. grateful.

Later, Liu Jian asked the two about some things about Wuhuan in each county, including the customs of Wuhuan.

Zhang He and Gao Lan told Liu Jian about the customs of Wuhuan in a divergent manner.

Wuhuan has been moving inland for nearly a hundred years, living together with the Han people. Tens of thousands of them have settled down, and their living habits have already been assimilated by the Han people.

They were deeply assimilated by the Han people, and many Wuhuan people had intermarried with the Han people. After the intermarriage, the Han people who settled in the local area became Han people. There are many blood ties between the two ethnic groups.

In history, after Liu Yu arrived in Youzhou, he adopted a soft policy against many foreign ethnic groups. The main reason for this was the urban ethnic groups like Wuhuan.

You say they are aliens, but in fact they have been living with Han people for hundreds of years. Although they are still separated from Han people in the household registration system, in normal life, Han people in Bianjun and Wuhuan people are intermarried. Due to the existence of the situation, many border clans and Han people in the villages will have some Wuhuan relatives.

Many people say that alien races are hateful, yes, alien races are hateful, but if we really want to carry out genocide, how should we kill them?

Among the ten aliens, two are related to the local Han people!
The plan of massacre is unrealistic.

If only people with foreign blood and connections were to be killed, at least one-fifth of the Han people in that county would also be buried with them.

The Xiongnu, including those stationed in Meiji, were also facing this situation.

Just blindly arguing and killing Hu, but not smoothing out the blood relationship in it, that is quarreling.

Later, Zhang Yun said something about Wuhuan's customs, which surprised Liu Jian, but he really didn't think about it before.

Zhang He told Liu Jian that as far as he knew, there was no hereditary system for the status of "Master" in Wuhuan in each county.

In other words, if Qiu Liju, the "Master" of Wuhuan in Western Liaoning, dies, his son is not the only person who is qualified to inherit the position of "Master" of Wuhuan in Western Liaoning. It is possible to inherit Wuhuan's "adult" position.

On the surface, it sounds very democratic and humane, but Liu Jian, who is well versed in human nature, knows the stakes in this best.

The Han emperor's family or the clan's children inherited the family business, which was not only a hereditary system, but also established many rules such as eldest son, concubine and concubine.

What for?
The reason why etiquette and law are stipulated in this way must be the long-term thinking of human nature.

The most fundamental thing is to ensure the stability of the family business at the time of inheritance.

If there were no rigid regulations in the etiquette law, when it came to family business inheritance, the incidents of brotherly killing would probably happen repeatedly and endlessly.

But even so, incidents of brothers fighting each other and fighting each other to the death still happen frequently.

This is still the case when the successor is clarified, let alone the non-hereditary system of Wuhuan.

Anyone with ambition can bring chaos to Wuhuan.

When Liu Jian heard this, a smile was drawn at the corner of his mouth.

……

The next day, after all the princes and kings sobered up, Liu Jian began to discuss this important matter with them.

In front of the princes and kings, Liu Jian ordered people to carry out the fake festival axe given to him by the late emperor Liu Hong.

Later, Liu Jian held the axe in honor of the late emperor.

The five princes and kings also followed each other to perform the ceremony.

All the Liu family bowed and bowed to the big axe.

After the salute, Liu Jian began to tell the princes and kings about the current situation in Hebei.

Ji, secluded land, Taihang and Montenegro are full of bandits, not to mention, Xianbei's various tribes have suffered frequent civil wars since the death of Tan Shihuai, but as time goes by, many tribes have gradually reconciled and settled on the border of the Han Dynasty. , There is a great intention to enter the bandits again.

Wuhuan is also ready to move, and he has the intention of taking advantage of the emptiness to cause chaos and rebellion.

At this time, he, Liu Jian, should follow the order of the first emperor, integrate the armies of Ji and You, and be ready to use troops against the north at any time, and be ready to stabilize the border of the north at any time.

I hope that the princes and kings sitting here can help and set an example.

The princes and kings heard the words, you look at me, I look at you, no one said anything first.

Liu Jian understands what they mean. How can they easily give away the princes and kings who have finally formed?

If it were me, I wouldn't be happy either.

But it doesn't matter, Liu Jian has prepared a set of words for brainwashing.

I can't help but you don't agree.
