"Your Majesty, the old minister has surrendered." After Yuan Ang stepped out of Tianlu Pavilion, Liu Qi stood silently behind the table, and after a while, countless memories emerged in his mind one after another.

Yuan Ang's last advice was naturally understood - the feudal division was a national policy set by Emperor Gaozu. Now, blatantly reducing the vassal state is contrary to the ancestral system, and this is an excuse for Liu Bi and others to rebel in a grand manner.

During the reign of Emperor Wen, the major princes and kings were already ready to move. After Emperor Wen's dynasty, the strength of the major princes and kings was almost the same as the imperial family. It was a matter of time for them to rebel against the emperor, and the only thing they lacked was righteousness.

But now, this strategy of reducing the vassal states is to give them the righteousness of raising the banner - to clear the king's side. Who can guarantee that after they clear the king's side, will they clear their king as well?

This is almost inevitable, otherwise, can you still keep yourself in order to settle the score with them?

But even so, I have to give them this righteousness!

For the empire, the major princes and kings were already extremely strong, and the act of reducing the vassal states was imperative.

——All the princes and kings say that Emperor Gaozu's descendants were the descendants of Emperor Gaozu, so Emperor Gaozu could confer the world. As for whether there would be disputes between the vassal kings and the imperial family, and how to inherit the throne, there was no difference between Emperor Gaozu, and the blood of his descendants.

But today's emperors are completely different from Emperor Gaozu. For an emperor, the most feared thing is that the empire is overthrowing, and the second is that the throne is lost. He has worked hard and worked hard and had to manage the huge foundation after countless compromises, but in the end he could not hand it over to his descendants. Even ordinary people can't stand it, let alone an emperor in a dynasty?

The princes and kings everywhere are the objects of fear and even fear of each generation of emperors.

Why are you afraid? Because since the Yan Han Empire, the emperors have been passed down for six generations, but the princes and kings have been passed down for nearly sixty generations.

The 60th generation of princes and kings were all foolish. They were brave and wise and wise. They all had the ability to be the emperor. In this situation, it is also called emperors of all generations. How can they not be afraid or fear?

Liu Qi thought to himself that when he was still in power, he would naturally be more than enough to suppress the ambitions of the major princes and kings, but what if he was gone?

If he dies, can the descendants of the emperor and his descendants be suppressed? The princes and kings who have endured for three thousand years and have developed their own power to the extreme?

I'm afraid it's very difficult!

Even according to the inheritance of the empire, when the throne is rotated, the princes and kings also have the opportunity to fight for the throne legitimately, and can their descendants compete for them?

Liu Qi really has no confidence.

Therefore, one of Liu Qi's greatest wishes today is to pave the way for his descendants to take over the throne while he is still alive and while the empire still has enough energy, and at the same time, to make all the princes and kings eliminate the intention of fighting for the throne.

Based on this purpose, Chao Cuo's strategy of reducing the power of power appeared naturally.

Liu Qi was very sure that after the reduction of the vassals and the great princes and kings had great justice, they would inevitably raise an army to resist.

And this is exactly what Liu Qi wants!

Liu Bi and others raised their troops with great righteousness, even if they lost their righteousness, or even said that they had destroyed them themselves and violated the righteousness, they would no longer have the qualifications to fight for the throne.

This also means that the throne is safe and that one’s descendants can safely take over this huge empire from one’s own hands.

"Clear the side of the king?"

"Liu Bi, this righteousness is given to you by me."

"Of course I can get it back."

"I want to see, in front of Dayi and the Emperor's throne, how do you choose!"

The power and ambitions of the great princes and kings during this time have been exposed. Once they take justice and give up the throne, the court will inevitably do its best to prevent and suppress these princes and kings. The possibility of those princes and kings seizing the throne will only become smaller and smaller.

But if they give up righteousness and fight for the throne, then without righteousness, they will be even more unlikely to win the throne. After all, in this empire, the imperial family is the largest prince.

In other words, the current Seven Kings Rebellion is a large army of seven countries, coming in a fierce and unbeaten manner, but in fact, this Seven Kingdoms Rebellion was just a chess game led by Liu Qi.

The world is a chessboard, mountains, rivers and rivers are the lateral straits, the Seven Kings, and countless practitioners are chess pieces, and Liu Qi is the only one, the chess player sitting high above, and is invincible. Of course, this premise is that Chang'an will not fall.

As for whether Chang'an City will fall, Liu Qi has absolute confidence in this regard. Before he dies, Chang'an City will never fall.

Even Liu Qi never thought of relying on the walls of Chang'an City to fight an offensive and defensive battle with the rebels of the seven countries.

The city wall has never been a support for Chang'an City. The support for Chang'an City is a 100,000 imperial guards who are absolutely loyal to the imperial family!

"Liu Bi, I am waiting for you in Chang'an City!" Liu Qi's eyes calmed down, then he stretched out his hand and pulled out a flying red thread on the silk in front of him, like fire and blood. The silk spread in front of Liu Qi was a map of the territory of the Han Empire. On the territory map, the territory of the princes and kings was circled out by vermilion red. In each circle, there was a sharp handwriting that completely penetrated the territory of the princes and kings.

"Come!"

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Liu Qi finished speaking, the eunuch in charge who was guarding outside Tianlu Pavilion was already bowing and jogging, and hurried over.

"Go out of news."

"Just talking about the imperial court, I already have the idea of ​​abandoning the Yellow River!" Liu Qi's cold voice echoed in the Tianlu Pavilion.

"Your Majesty?" The eunuch in charge looked incredible, wondering if he had heard something wrong.

As the emperor's personal eunuch, he naturally could not be too stupid. He naturally knew the significance of the Yellow River natural barrier to the entire empire and the entire Chang'an.

Within the empire, there are four major water systems, namely the Four Dulu, which runs through the entire empire.

The Yellow River among the four rivers is in the shape of a "several" and surrounds Guanzhong Chang'an. As long as you cross the Yellow River, Guanzhong Chang'an will be like a chicken with eggshell stripped from its eggshell and there will be no danger to guard.

"Your Majesty think twice!" The eunuch in charge had already brought some sadness to his words.
