Facing the frowning Liu Chengxun, Emperor Liu also breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: \"The courtiers are not happy, no matter how stubborn I am, it is not difficult for the strong. I will fully support those who are with me. As for others, let them go.\" Freedom! However, there are gains and gains, and there are gains and losses...\"
Emperor Liu\'s words showed a hint of Zen, and also a slight hint of compromise.Liu Chengxun came here because he felt the turmoil of public opinion. Out of concern, he wanted to explain Emperor Liu, but before he finished the draft, Emperor Liu seemed to be completely enlightened and relieved, which made Liu Chengxun uneasy. I know what to say.
Liu Chengxun had nothing to say for a while, but Emperor Liu was not. Looking at this younger brother, a thoughtful expression flashed across his face, and he asked with great interest: \"Sanlang, are you and I of the same mind?\"
Can you tell Liu Chengxun if you ask this question?Many thoughts flashed through his mind, Liu Chengxun bowed his head and said humbly: \"If your majesty orders, I will not hesitate to do so!\"
\"I don\'t hesitate again!\" Muttering the words that almost made ear calluses in his mouth, Emperor Liu adjusted his posture, leaned forward, and looked at him with special eyes: \"You are, cross the sea and go out!\" So, for those who have seen overseas scenery with their own eyes, you should have a different feeling about overseas enfeoffment, at least you won\'t be so repulsive!\"
The meaning of Emperor Liu\'s words is already obvious, but Liu Chengxun really wants to answer Emperor Liu. It is precisely because he has gone out and seen it that he doesn\'t approve of Emperor Liu\'s entrustment proposal, and feels that Emperor Liu\'s ideas are too immature. .
Of course, Liu Chengxun will not be like those foolish people in the market who have never seen the real world, and believe in the propaganda preached by the Xuanwei Department and even those business people who have returned from overseas.Overseas development and reclamation is not easy. There may be fertile land and rare gold, but those need to be earned with one\'s life.
As far as Liu Chengxun knows, in the past 20 years, there have been a total of 10 people who have come down to the south, but less than half of them survived.
Facing Emperor Liu at this time, naturally he dared not tell the truth, but he still couldn\'t help making indirect remarks: \"There is indeed a world of overseas, and there is a lot to do, but it takes enough time and patience, and it is difficult to accomplish it overnight. Qin Zheng Baiyue, until the Five Emperors of the former Han Dynasty and the Three Yues were China\'s inherent territory, not to mention those islands and rainforests hanging far overseas.
The worries of the courtiers are not unfounded, but combined with practical considerations, your Majesty may listen to some low-level sentiments while being far-sighted, after all, it is wise to listen...\"
Liu Chengxun\'s words caused Emperor Liu to fall into a brief silence, and then he said with some disinterestedness: \"After all, even you think that the objections from the courtiers outside are justified! I was still worried before, what happened on the night of Shangyuan Discussing the enfeoffment, only considered the prince, but ignored you brother, I was afraid that you and the clan children would think that I was partial, but now it seems that I am a little too sentimental!\"
When Emperor Liu said this, how could Liu Chengxun continue to be tense, and immediately changed his face, and hurriedly said: \"Your Majesty is serious!\"
\"Then tell me, if I give you a feudal kingdom, would you like to go?\" Emperor Liu ignored other things and stared straight at Liu Chengxun.
Liu Chengxun really wanted to give this difficult emperor brother a straightforward answer, but he really couldn\'t do it, so he hesitated for a while before he gritted his teeth and replied, \"But as ordered!\"
After staring at Liu Chengxun for a while, seeing that his emotions gradually calmed down and his eyes gradually calmed down, Emperor Liu finally turned his head away and smiled: \"That\'s all! As I said, you don\'t force others to make things difficult, even those unworthy people are not demanding, let alone you, the one and only Brothers?\"
Probably felt the disappointment and even dissatisfaction in Emperor Liu\'s heart, but Liu Chengxun obviously didn\'t want to do so. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said: \"If your majesty needs a king\'s pioneer, I am willing to go!\"
\"Really?\" Emperor Liu was a little suspicious, and then said: \"If you want to cater to me, you don\'t have to! I have already thought about the turmoil in the past few days, if I go, I will go, if I stay, I will stay, that\'s all!\"
Hearing this, Liu Chengxun sighed softly, and said: \"Your Majesty\'s ideals and capabilities, I have studied for decades, but I can\'t understand them. I can only do what I can and follow His Majesty\'s advice. I am afraid that there will be no one in the clan when I go out to Nanyang. It is more suitable than a minister, so let the minister be the clan and set an example for the people of the world!\"
Emperor Liu carefully looked at Liu Chengxun\'s eyes. Although this brother\'s attitude was very frank, he couldn\'t see what kind of thoughts he had.However, listening to Liu Chengxun\'s statement, Emperor Liu still felt a sense of relief in his heart. At least with King Yong\'s leadership, his \"big enfeoffment plan\" would not become a joke and end up in a mess. Do yourself a favor?
Thinking of this, Emperor Liu couldn\'t help but smile a little, and his eyes softened a lot. After thinking for a while, Emperor Liu waved his hand and said generously: \"You have been to Nanyang, and you stayed for more than a year, so I won\'t appoint you. , you have taken a fancy to that piece of land, just say it, I will definitely allow it!\"
Since Emperor Liu said so, Liu Chengxun was not polite, he only thought for a while, and said: \"I have an idea, I\'m afraid Your Majesty won\'t let it go!\"
When Liu Chengxun said this, Emperor Liu immediately became vigilant. The third child would not come up with any embarrassing ideas, and his tone inevitably turned a little bit: \"Let\'s talk about it first, as long as it is suitable, there is nothing to be reluctant about!\"
Liu Chengxun said: \"When I was an envoy, the fleet was moored at Liuqiu Port. There, King Hua was there for a long time, and merchants docked and gathered. There were hundreds of thousands of Han people... Now Liuqiu Mansion is under the jurisdiction of Fujian Province, but after all, it is across the sea. Looking at each other, Daosi attaches great importance to it, and the policy and decree need to be conveyed across the sea, which is inconvenient, and the court\'s management of Liuqiu is more laissez-faire. I wonder if His Majesty is willing to include it in the consideration of sealing the country?\"
After listening to Liu Chengxun\'s opinion, Emperor Liu remained calm, but he already hesitated in his heart.
After all, it is Liuqiu. Among the many overseas territories of the Han Dynasty, this is a relatively mature place. This is not included in Emperor Liu\'s enfeoffment plan, just like Annan Road.
As for the rhetoric that it is inconvenient to manage across the sea, it is also unreasonable for Emperor Liu. In the process of growing overseas trade, the development of Liuqiu can be described as changing with each passing day. space.
As a treasure island across the sea from Fujian, it has a deep history. Emperor Liu is not afraid of being alone overseas and out of control. The South China Sea Fleet can have a permanent navy.
With these factors in it, Emperor Liu\'s inner tendency is self-evident.But the big words have been released, and he simply refused, which was somewhat embarrassing, so Emperor Liu chuckled and said: \"You have a good vision, Liuqiu is a good place, and the conditions are also very good, but this is just not within my entrustment plan. I have never considered using Liuqiu as a fiefdom. This is not the islands in Nanyang, at least I have to consider the feelings of Fujian Dao!\"
Emperor Liu\'s words were not convincing enough. Of course, Liu Chengxun could also feel Emperor Liu\'s displeasure, and his face showed no abnormality. I have lived there for more than half a year, so I am quite familiar with it...\"
This is an important pass on the Nanyang transportation line, a hub of maritime trade routes!Emperor Liu glanced at Liu Chengxun with some dissatisfaction, why did he pick the most important places?
Of course, it is difficult for Emperor Liu to say this. After all, in all fairness, looking at Nanyang, only Liangping Island has the conditions for enfeoffment. Although it is only a tiny place, it has been in business for many years, and it can also be relied on for encroachment and expansion.
After thinking for a while, Emperor Liu said: \"I am naturally willing to use Liangping Island. I am afraid that the Privy Council and the Navy will not want it. In order to find a place for the Nanyang Fleet to station in Hong Kong, Guo Liangping would rather start a war and offend the friendly country of Sanfoqi. Completely...\"
In the final analysis, Emperor Liu himself was not happy, so he could only bring up the navy and Guo Liangping to talk about the matter.Liu Chengxun could see this mentality clearly. He glanced at Emperor Liu and sighed in his heart. Emperor Liu\'s real intention was to let them fight and grab it by themselves.
It\'s just that it\'s not easy to develop!Not to mention, Liu Chengxun is also in his 50s. Even if this old bone has ambitions, I\'m afraid it can\'t bear it...
After thinking for a while, Liu Chengxun suddenly gritted his teeth and said, \"Since that\'s the case, then the only option is to take it by force! Destroy the country, occupy its land, and seal the country!\"
