Hanbing hall is a huge group of palaces and palaces. It is not only a palace, but also covers zhangtai, Linyuan, court pavilions, greening, squares and so on.
According to the palace que pattern of the Han family, each palace que group will have its own walls, corridors and corridors. Usually, a main road will be built for normal access, and the other roads will be closed.
The palace gate is on the main road. It is a gate five meters wide and seven meters high. It has two very large solid wood door panels. Some metal nails will be anchored on the door panels, and there will also be two huge animal shaped pull rings.
Liu Shen didn't have enough time to freshen up and change his clothes. He wore practice clothes and took some of his subordinates to welcome Liu Yan's arrival.
Jiaguan is not close to the palace gate, about three miles away?
Entering from the palace gate, you can see an empty square. The ground is paved with a large number of bricks and stones. The roads are distinguished from other floors with bricks and stones of different colors. Then there will be animal shaped lamp posts.
The square is surrounded by the city wall, with a width of 180 meters. Further inside is the green area of some plants. The snow on the ground is cleaned, and the snow on the plants is left. We can't see what grass is and what trees are.
The wall height of the outer palace city is 16 meters, and the wall height inside is generally no more than 8 meters. In addition to the wall, there is a thin wall with a height of about two meters. In addition, various buildings constitute a clear or hidden defense zone inside the palace city.
"I don't know how to wear a fur." Liu Yan looked at the crown prince's officials, ignored their fear and said to Liu Shen, "as a prince, you should know your priorities."
Liu Shen hurried to the palace gate to meet him. He was only wearing a thin martial arts suit. He had been sweating a lot before and was likely to catch a cold when he was blown by the cold wind.
"My son knew that my father came and jumped with joy..." Liu Shen waved to all his subordinates awkwardly and motioned them to leave quickly: "my son is strong. He often has it in the rain and snow in the northwest. He can also kill the Han enemies. It won't hurt."
Liu Yan looked at the female officer next to him and walked forward.
The people who follow the emperor will actually have a variety of preparations, including taking spare fur.
At the command of the female officer, a maid of honor walked quickly to Liu Shen with fur, put it on, saluted respectfully and retreated.
The snow that had stopped for two days began to fall again. They fell slowly from the air. Sometimes when they were blown by the wind, they would show their own dance. They landed only after various tracks appeared in the air.
Liu Yan reached out and took a snowflake. He looked at it for two seconds. He pinched it for ten seconds and then opened it. The snow turned into water marks.
Hanbing hall covers a large area. The forest garden includes six rate resident facilities. The personnel on duty everywhere come from six rate. They belong to the prince's personal force.
"The crown prince has been somewhat negligent in recent days." Liu Yan deliberately came to the camp and looked at a quiet camp: "or do you worry about how much I think?"
The six rate said it was 6000 soldiers, but that was only the number of soldiers, and there should be a group of people, including relevant logistics personnel. But what Liu Yan learned was that Liu Shen strictly kept the resident personnel at no more than 6000.
"My ministers are still familiar with the staff." After Liu Shen became the crown prince, he found that his Lao Tzu was becoming more and more difficult to get along with: "among many affairs, only six rates can be postponed, so..."
The prince and the crown prince are both sons, but they are really different.
Liu Yan could dote on Liu Shen as the prince before, but there will be no doting on Liu Shen who has become the crown prince. He will not even be Liu Shen when he is only 12 years old. He will regard Liu Shen as an adult.
There is only reality in the adult world, and there will no longer be any fairy tales. It is difficult for others to tell Liu Shen with actions. Only Liu Yan is the most suitable candidate.
Until now, Liu Yan has come to understand why the emperor always has many estrangements and even contradictions with the crown prince, all because the emperor needs to let the crown prince understand what is the change of identity. Perhaps the existence of the crown prince proves that the emperor is getting old, so that the emperor often thinks that one day the crown prince will become the emperor, resulting in the boss's unhappiness?
Liu Shen reported a lot of things to Liu Yan. What families did he recruit subordinates, what kind of distribution was the composition, and what was the reason for that distribution.
"The ruling composition of the Han Dynasty is the royal family, the nobility, the nobility and the people." Liu Yan stopped to face Liu Shen and said seriously, "honourable lords and Knights have got everything from them because of their credit. We rely on them to manage the country and enable the country to operate effectively. They are our assistants in governing the people, but the people are the most important to us."
Liu Shen naturally looks like he listens and remembers.
"We have given some meritorious people the reports and treatment they deserve. They want to get more and build more credit." Liu Yangang just listened to the list. 90% of the crown prince's officials are from Yu xungui, The remaining 10% is the opposition with great folk reputation: "the big man is very good to Xun GUI. He is using this treatment to tell everyone that as long as he has meritorious deeds, he can get the reward he deserves. Meritorious deeds naturally deserve to be rewarded. That is the foundation of the operation of the imperial court and the normal operation of the country. Do you understand?"
Liu Shen didn't quite understand.
The Xun GUI class in the Han Empire was very happy. They got everything they deserved. Moreover, the royal family had not cut Xun GUI for the time being, so that Xun GUI class had no sense of urgency.
After the adoption of the resolution to suspend foreign expansion, Liu Yan had already had a plan, waiting for some honourable people to do some special things, or some honourable people can't compete with the class of the same level, bully the ordinary class with no resistance at all, and clean up the honourable class.
Once the country enters the period of internal affairs development, there will be various problems, usually competition due to interests. Under the imperial power social system, the competition between Xun GUI and the royal family is a thing that the royal family is happy to see. Even if Xun GUI wants to be harmonious, there will be a force in the dark for them to constantly produce contradictions and create trouble that they have to fight.
Xun GUI played happily with each other, showing a situation of unity and friendship. Can the emperor sleep safely?
Once it comes to the time when the emperor needs to work secretly to make Xun GUI have contradictions, it is usually the time when the imperial power is declining. If such a powerful figure can be recognized by Xun GUI class, the next moment is the arrival of a change of dynasty.
This situation has occurred countless times in history.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang was recognized by all classes. Even the emperor thought Wang Mang was popular, and the result was the end of the Western Han Dynasty.
In the period of Liu Hong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the aristocracy was a good situation for you, me and everyone. It was not that Liu Hong was so stupid that he had his own action. He did what the emperor should do, that is, he planned the first punk imprisonment in history. Liu
Hong must be hated by the aristocracy, but he has continued his life for decades for the Eastern Han Dynasty. Otherwise, without waiting for Dong Zhuo to appear, the world of the Han Dynasty should undergo "peaceful evolution" like Wang Mang again, but he won the posthumous title of "spirit".
No kidding, when Liu Hong was in power in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yang family of Hongnong and the yuan family of Ruyang, even the Dou family who had been extinguished before, all had the ability and strength to perform "peaceful evolution" to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the yuan family had long planned to replace them.
Liu Hong carried out the imprisonment of his friends. As the focus of the attack, Hongnong Yang's family was directly unable to recover, but yuan's family was slightly damaged. It was yuan's family that disturbed the world behind him.
In the Northern Zhou Dynasty during the northern and Southern Dynasties, Yang Jian was recognized by most of the aristocracy. He almost didn't spend much effort to replace the Yuwen family and achieve his own dynasty.
When Yang Guangcheng became the emperor, he did not forget how the old Yang family established their own dynasty. He saw that the aristocracy had formed a great unity again. Whether it was to fight with the aristocracy with their own knives or to plan a foreign war to consume the power of the aristocracy, his choice was to launch a foreign war.
At that time, because of the weakness and scuffle of the Central Plains Dynasty, Koguryo rose from the wilderness and continued to encroach on the southwest, almost swallowing western Liaoning and Eastern Liaoning.
Yang Guang needs to eliminate the growing threat of Koguryo. Even if he does not need to bleed the domestic aristocracy, he must launch a war against Koguryo.
Because in the special period of the northern and Southern Dynasties, even during the reign of Emperor Wen Yang Jian of Sui Dynasty, he constantly weakened other aristocrats, and constantly changed the system to optimize the direction beneficial to the royal family, but he still did not cancel the reality that the aristocrats had private soldiers. Even though it was clearly the national armed forces, in fact, the state was paying money and food to help the aristocrats raise troops.
Yang Guang launched the war against Koguryo. Many times it seemed that he could easily forge ahead. It was because he ordered to suspend the attack and wanted to weaken or even exhaust the blood of the aristocrats. Naturally, the aristocracy could not wait to die. Only then did there be countless beacon smoke in the late Sui Dynasty, and there was a large-scale rebellion of the aristocrats in the national war.
Within one or two hundred years after the northern and Southern Dynasties, the dynasty system was more or less the product of some Hu people's characteristics. Even in the Li and Tang Dynasties, it had not been reversed, including the fact that nobles had private enemies and could use private soldiers to fight.
Liu Yan must train Liu Shen to be strong enough and limit Liu Shen's excessive dependence on the noble class.
"I see."
Liu Shen said that, but his heart was extremely tangled. He thought for a while, what kind of balance method should the prince's officials not occupy so much, but the southern gentry can't be appointed wantonly?
This is when Liu Yan is the first test for Liu Shen after becoming a Chu Jun. we will see what kind of response Liu Shen uses, give more burdens later, and deepen the test at the same time.
In fact, Liu Yan has considered asking Liu Shen to close down the southern gentry, which can be regarded as giving those southern gentry a hope that they will not despair in the end, but he gave up later.
If you do something wrong, you must pay a price. Otherwise, the world can see that you can be rich and prosperous when you do something wrong. How can you judge what is right or wrong?
"I have specially opened up to them." What Liu Yan said was to open the Indochina Peninsula to the gentry in the South: "they have disappointed me."
Indochina Peninsula is the first enclave outside the Han Empire, and it is also the most chaotic place.
Before the establishment of the Annan protectorate, the southern gentry who went to the Indochina Peninsula not only failed to completely solve the local aborigines, but even supported the aborigines, which completely deviated from Liu Yan's original intention to let them go to the Indochina Peninsula.
Liu Yan opened the western regions behind him. The literati in the north of the Yangtze River did a very good job. They shared the dividends with the people. They were not controlled by the southern literati. Even the southern literati preferred to give benefits to the aborigines rather than their compatriots.
Before the army officially entered the western regions, the northern gentry, together with the folk Xiaoguo, directly destroyed the western regions. They created a power blank western region with a feast of robbery and killing.
Liu Yan liked the smart end of the northern gentry very much. They ate a mouthful of oil and didn't forget to give profits to the people at the national level.
The northern gentry are qualified pioneers in opening up to the outside world. It's not like the southern gentry who can't eat and support themselves. They really can't support it, but they make trouble for the local aborigines.
"As far as my son knows..." Liu Shen regained the feeling of getting along with Liu Yan before, and he was no longer so careful: "they (southern gentry) have many moves to show off their wealth, preferring to spread their wealth to show the world rather than help the orphans and widows in the countryside?"
Knowing this, Liu Yan asked, "what does the prince think?"
"Perhaps for self-protection?" Seeing Liu Yanmei's first challenge, Liu Shen continued: "because of their clothes and clothes, they know how to comment on the wind. Naturally, they dare not invite names. Only in this way can they not be more hostile."
"I am very pleased that the prince can understand this." Liu Yan laughed a few times and said, "they are really protecting themselves, and they are stupid enough. They can't benefit the people. If they don't learn the law of beiren, they can only show off their wealth."
"My son wants to ask my father for one thing." Taking advantage of Liu Yan's good mood, Liu Shen begged: "my son has been to the northwest and has not been to Nanjiang. Can I go to Jiankang first and then to the Nandu protectorate?"
Suddenly, Liu Yan found that Liu Shen had grown up, knew how to test himself, and began to have his own ideas.
"I think so." Liu Shen said with yearning: "I have traveled all over the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty, witnessed the different places and appreciated the various forms of the world. My son and minister also wanted to make a geographical chronicle to record the terrain of mountains and rivers and the human feelings of all places."
For such a thing, Liu Yan must support it, but he said, "the crown prince has great ambition?"
Liu Shen's face was not abnormal, with deference and Expectation: "children's ministers are the princes, and the princes of the Han Dynasty should make a difference."
