1.88 The strong and the weak

King Ji gave birth to hundreds of children in a row, and it was spread throughout Luoyang.

Then a group of people and others worked hard to deliberately create rumors that "the strong vassals and weak dynasties are afraid that the rebellion of the seven Han countries in the previous Han Dynasty" was washed away.

He promoted the common people and sneered at him. King Ji was loyal and brave, and he was able to stabilize the country and stabilize the country. He was still unable to quell the chaos everywhere, so how could he react?

There are still treacherous people who strongly argue: If King Ji does not rebel, how can he know that his descendants will not rebel?

A knowledgeable man laughed it off. Under the "Recommendation of Grace", Ji State has been broken since the second generation of kings, and his brothers are still busy, so how can they still have the strength to rebel?

Rumors end with the wise.

King Ji abides by his ministers' integrity, and the world does not believe it.

The vicious words disappeared before they even arose. It should be noted that the censor of this dynasty heard the news. If he was impeached for this, wouldn’t he be frustrated?

If one or two children are born, it is not enough to stop rumors. In the words of later generations, it is not explosive enough. Only when a hundred children are born can it cause a sensation in the world. A hundred children are sacrificed, which is equivalent to a "king bomb". It stirs up a thousand waves at once, and all the rumors are shot into powder and annihilated ashes.

If you think about it carefully, you will be extremely scared. If there are no hundred sons, King Ji will be in danger.

King Liu Sheng of Zhongshan often advised his mother and brother, King Liu Pengzu of Zhao: "On the day when he was the king, he listened to music and enjoyed singing and dancing." King Zhao scolded: "The King of Zhongshan only cares about extravagance and pleasure, and does not assist the emperor in appeaseing the people, how can he be called a vassal minister!"

It was the time when the Seven Kingdoms were in chaos, and Emperor Wu ascended the throne. The vassal states were deeply jealous of the court. Their feelings and scenes were as good as the unworthy descendants of later generations. When the country was destroyed and was captured, they were "happy and unwilling to think of Shu". Is there any difference? A Dou, in fact, inherited the wisdom of his ancestors.

The most popular topic of conversation was the King of Ji, Karese Yanqing, who gave birth to hundreds of sons in a row. Speaking of which, King of Ji had seventy-four concubines and three hundred imperial concubines. There were less than a thousand people in the harem, but he gave birth to more than a hundred sons.

I secretly thought of Your Majesty, there were more than ten thousand beauties in the palace, but I only gave birth to a few children. Which one is stronger and which one is weak is clear at a glance.

If we only talk about it from this point of view, we should be convinced that the strong vassals and the weak vassals are strong.

In Liu Bei's opinion, the reason why Your Majesty has few blood veins lies in his choice. A beautiful girl of fourteen years old is only thirteen years old, or even younger. Her physiology is far from mature, so her chance of conception is naturally small. And the people next to Liu Bei are all over 18 years old. Many young ladies are strong and healthy, and can be pregnant deeply.

As the saying goes, "One radish and one pit." Your Majesty likes young girls. Apart from the illusory health-preserving and replenishing techniques, it is closely related to the size of radish.

The Hu girl is fond of giving birth. This is true. According to Liu Bei’s observation, there is no need to go to the ground for confinement. You can walk in less than three days.

For the long-term plan, Liu Bei was still cautious. Following Doctor Hua's advice, all the girls who had just become mothers were bedridden and rested.

Famous calligraphy and paintings are lenient. Compared with money and goods, the value of artworks in the Han Dynasty is not worth mentioning. Cai Yong and Zhong Yao wrote by themselves, which are even more unique collections. If you don’t have to install them, you can put them in the library first.

King Ji lived in seclusion and stayed by his side all day long. His children also visited each other one by one, and each cherished them extremely. There is a saying that he regarded him as his own. He also said that rare is precious. I thought that there were many descendants, but they would not be as rare as before.

The result is not the same. Father's love has not been divided and reduced, but it has accumulated a lot. If you add firewood and raise your salary, the flame will be even stronger.

Jia Wenhe hits the saying: The lord is in love with the world and loves the people as much as his son, let alone loves his son.

King Ji is clear about the public and private affairs, and his appearance is the same as the other. He loves the people as much as he wants, how can he not love his descendants more than ever?

Selfish desires do not harm the righteousness, and family affection does not disrupt national laws.

"A man is good at the beginning." In the final analysis, it is not good to destroy relatives for justice. All princes, from the age of five, have to go to Prince's House to study. Famous teachers and friends teach by example and practice to promote their talents is to prepare for the future and prevent the human tragedy of "destroying relatives for justice" from happening in their own homes.

It is also said that "I see the old age at the age of three." Before entering school, there were also female doctors and female teachers in the palace who were carefully taught. The scholars and Zhao E, etc., were all famous among the girls. Liu Bei worked hard to become a talent for his children.

Next year, the eldest son Liu Feng will be five years old and will be admitted to the Prince's House. In another year, the two daughters and seven sons will be admitted to school one after another. After another three years, a hundred sons will go together. In less than ten years, the Prince's House will be very lively. Liu Bei's sons are all eight feet tall and both civil and military.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with it.

Zhang Rang wrote a message to Shangshutai. Shangshu Ling Cao Jie entered the palace with illness. He discussed with the Secretary of State the matter of adding the seal of Ji State.

Ji Kingdom is located across the Youji Kingdom, and there are already 16 counties. If several counties are added, you should be placed on Taihang in the west and reach the Bohai Sea in the east. The dragon and tiger linger, and the momentum is in no particular way.

Because of the difficulty, Cao Jie needs to come in person.

The first thing to do is to increase the number of counties.

Cao Jie made a final statement: "Although King Ji made great contributions to the country, his closeness and distantness are different. The country should not be more than Pei." In the 20th year of Jianwu (44th), Emperor Guangwu appointed his son Liu Fu as the King of Pei, and established the Kingdom of Pei. He led twenty-one counties.

Everyone was shocked. In other words, five more counties should be added.

"East, south, north, and north, add one county." Looking closely at the topographic map of Youji Mountains and Rivers, Cao Jie pointed to it in a circle: "Pick another county in the coastal area and match it with it."

"So..." Liang Hu, the Minister of Selection, understood it: "We should choose Puyin in Zhongshan, Lu County in Yuyang, Zhangwu in Bohai, Wuzhong in Youbeiping, Haiyang in western Liaoning."

"It's okay." Cao Jie followed the advice: "Select these five counties first, and ask Your Majesty to decide."

"Here." Liang Hu took the order and left.

Linxiang Jiwang Palace, the main hall.

"I am paying homage to the king." The new governor of Youzhou, Wang Yun, bowed with a solemn look.

"I will be exempted from the rituals." Liu Bei stretched out his hand to support him: "Give him a seat."

"Thank you, the king." Wang Yun took a lacquered wooden box and presented it with both hands: "I have received great kindness, but I cannot repay you. I heard that the king was happy to have hundreds of sons, and the subordinates wrote a volume of silk characters to express their feelings."

"Thank you, the envoy." He ordered someone to take it and took it to take a closer look. Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh: "Every envoy is a pearl of pearls, so he should be the talent of the king and the king."

"The king praised it." Wang Yun's eyes were firm and his expression was consistent.

"I will be able to reach Jibei (county) for a few days. The envoy does not need to be anxious. I met today and I have something to do and want to entrust the envoy."

"The king said nothing."

"Send troops to the peninsula and reopen several counties. Your Majesty may add several counties for his merits. Ji State is located across Youji, and there are sixteen counties, all occupying the old lands of the surrounding counties and countries. If the envoys are further enlarged, such as Zhuo County, Guangyang, Yuyang, Youbeiping and other counties, it will be too weak. The country is strong and the state is weak, which is not what I want. Therefore, I consulted with the envoys to reopen several coastal counties outside the border to supplement it."

"Oh?" After a little thought, Wang Yun asked, "Dare you ask the king, where will you reopen?"

"Bai Tan, Ping Gang, Shi Cheng, Guangcheng, Bailang, Leting, Licheng and other counties." Liu Bei knew it as many of his own.

"Leting, Licheng, and other coastal areas, the Han Dynasty's intercourse was destroyed by sea invasion. The rest were all old land outside Youzhou." Wang Yun knew it before he took office.

"That's true." Liu Bei nodded gently: "The northern border has been settled, and 400,000 people can go south. He can order his troops to guard all over the country and rebuild the old city."

"The emperor's intention is known to you." Wang Yun asked, "Is the land that the king's favorite is among several counties."

"Just as the envoy said." Liu Bei told the truth: "Apart from the tombs of our ancestors, I really don't want to divide the king's land. The remaining counties should be expanded eastward."

King Ji was the former Queen Jing of Zhongshan, Han Dynasty. The King Jing of Zhongshan and the Queen were buried together, and it was the famous Han tomb of Mancheng in later generations. It is located in the territory of Beiping County, Zhongshan Kingdom.

"So that's it." Wang Yun was solemnly respected: "The king's general is 400,000 and can be repaid. He wants to get rid of Youzhou."

"That's true." Liu Bei expressed his thoughts: "The barbarians do not know the Han rituals and have not yet transformed. Therefore, they do not understand etiquette and are only afraid of the strong. If they are spread to border counties and collude with the Hu people outside the border, they are afraid of gathering crowds to cause trouble and cause trouble. If they are hoarded in the despise country, they should be afraid of surrendering and not daring to cause trouble."
