    ??

    To say that he is not moved is definitely a lie. Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, just the fact that Liu Deng can think of this step has already made Wang Chong full of curiosity about Liu Deng.

    "This matter is of great importance at this time, I need to discuss it with my brothers!"

    Wang Chong hesitated for a moment, but still did not agree directly.

    "General, just mind your own business, I'm here waiting for good news from the general!"

    Looking at the hesitant look on Wang Chong's face, Long Xiao was very confident. Long Xiao knew in his heart that Wang Chong was actually moved, but he didn't know it yet.

    Just when Wang Chong was discussing with his generals whether to go to see Liu Deng, Chang'an City finally received the news that Zhou Yafu had defeated the Xiongnu.

    "Well, a good fight, a good fight! You are worthy of being the son of Captain Zhou! Come here, pass on the order. Zhou Yafu defeated the Xiongnu and promoted the prestige of our country. He promoted Zhou Yafu to the rank of lord and took 30,000 households south of the Weishui River to feed him.  Yap!"

    In the Xuanshi Palace, Liu Heng was as excited as a child. Although Liu Deng defeated the Xiongnu before, he was very happy.

    But after all, Liu Deng was a prince of the Han Dynasty. Although he was also his grandson, the army of Dai State belonged to Liu Deng personally.

    But this time Zhou Yafu is different. He is leading the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. Since Zhou Yafu can do it, then other officers and soldiers can naturally do it as well.

    "Moreover, Zhou Yafu has completely disabled the Aries King's plan this time.

    What¡¯s more important is that Zhou Yafu¡¯s 30,000 men are still galloping across the grassland, which is really a relief.

    ??Except for the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, this was really the first time that the army of the Han Dynasty killed everyone in the Hetao area!

    Thinking about the siege of Bai Deng and the humiliation of Empress Lu, how could this make him not excited?

    Liu Heng is not the only one who is excited. As the prince of the country, Liu Qi is even more excited now.

    Zhou Yafu has indeed lived up to everyone's trust. In less than a year, he has actually grown the forbidden army at Xiliu Camp to its current level. This really makes Liu Qi overjoyed.

    "While your Highness is happy, I have some good news to tell Your Highness!"

    Since he heard about Liu Deng's expedition, Liu Qi has been worried every day in the East Palace. He has not been so happy for a long time. Seeing that he is so happy today, Chao Cuo also took advantage of the excitement to come up and say.

    "Oh? Sir, is there any good news there?"

    Liu Qi looked at Chao Cuo with interest.

    "Your Highness, please see, this is the news I just received. The entire Donghai County is now under the control of Wang Shi! The Zhao State is now also under the control of Wei Qihou. Your Highness, I thought  We should take advantage of the situation and issue an order to reduce the vassal status now!"

    After Chao Cuo finished speaking, he immediately knelt on the ground on one knee, and then took out another memorial from his sleeve. Liu Qi was really stunned at this time.

    "Sir, is it too fast at this time"

    Liu Qi also felt dry and dizzy for a while. He had been thinking about cutting the vassal order for a long time, but because the time was not ripe, he never dared to put it on the agenda.

    The so-called vassal reduction order is actually just a repeat of the same old tune. This is just a plan that Chao Cuo made by adapting Jia Yi's public security policy.

    The purpose is nothing more than to find out the faults of those princes and kings, and then take the opportunity to weaken their power.

    What happened to the King of Chu this time gave him a good opportunity. During the period of his mother's death, King Liu Wu of Chu slept with a singer in the palace and got her pregnant. This involved the Han Dynasty's national policy of governing the country with filial piety, so he was punished.  The punishment is also extremely severe.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    And more importantly, Donghai County has now all fallen into Wang Shi's hands, which is equivalent to driving a nail into the heart of King Chu.

    At this time, Zhou Yafu had just won a victory and the imperial army was at its peak. It should be the most appropriate time to take advantage of this opportunity to implement the policy of reducing the vassal state.

    "Your Highness, Jianghou has just won a battle at this time. Isn't this a good opportunity for us to launch a massive counterattack? We should be advancing with great success. Even if there is a slight resistance, as long as we can find two or three typical examples,  By then, more than half of this matter will be settled!¡±

    Zhou Yafu¡¯s victory gave Chao Cuo a lot of confidence. To put it bluntly, only when the army in hand is strong enough can politicians like them be strong enough!

    "Let me think about it again, let me think about it again"

    LiuAlthough Qi was also very excited, he still maintained the last trace of reason after all. The matter of cutting down the vassal was not simple. At this time, all the princes and kings were eagerly staring at the punishment of Liu Wu, King of Chu.

    ¡°If we stimulate them at this time, it¡¯s hard to imagine how this matter will develop in the end.

    "Your Highness, we can no longer hesitate at this time. We should take advantage of the fact that King Liu Wu of Chu has not come back to his senses, and immediately attack several small vassal states. Otherwise, when they unite, things will change.  But it¡¯s not going to be easy!¡±

    Seeing that Liu Qi was still hesitant, Chao Cuo hurriedly spoke again.

    This matter must be obvious. The loss of Donghai County will greatly reduce the national strength of the Chu State. No matter what, it is impossible for Chu King Liu Wu to just hold his nose and admit it.

    It is almost inevitable that several major princes and kings will unite. At this time, we can only take advantage of the fact that their alliance is not yet formed and the formation is not stable to open up the situation as soon as possible.

    Several major vassal states have long become a thorn in the side of the imperial court. Liu Qi still remembers when Jia Yi proposed the public security policy.

    The emperor personally took the memorial letter and took him, who was only fifteen years old at the time, to the scene of father and son in front of the tomb of Emperor Gaozu

    Although Liu Heng didn¡¯t say a word at that time, he just held the public security policy blankly, sat in front of Gaozu¡¯s tombstone, and sighed while reading

    At that time, Liu Qi was not deeply involved in the world and could not understand Liu Heng's mentality at that time.

    But the situation is different now. Over the years, he has suffered from the idleness of those princes and kings.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It is obvious that each of them is almost fattened into a pig, but every year when they go to Chang'an City, they still cry about poverty.

    Once something happens to the court, they all shrink faster than anyone else. If there is any benefit, they are all afraid that others will compete first.

    "Even if there is some small disaster in the country, all the envoys sent will be filled with runny noses and tears.

    Seeing that the imperial treasury was running low year after year, and the capital that he had managed to save in the past few years was almost being emptied out again, Liu Qi's hatred for them was not at all gone.

    "Okay, let's do what the gentleman said! The Tingtingwei Mansion immediately sent out inspection envoys to strictly investigate the Jiaoxi, Jiaodong, and Zichuan countries, and the princes of the three countries are doing illegal things!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
