"Just?" Liu Dai was still a little expectant when he heard Guan Yu's first half of the sentence, but the subsequent twist made him feel a little confused. Could it be that Liu Tao was ready to give his sworn brother a king with a different surname and not to give his relatives a title to his relatives?

"According to the character of my elder brother, I am afraid I can only be the king of the border counties. And if I don't manage it for a long time, or if the people live a bad life, I will probably take back the throne. The most important thing is that I probably have no military power." Guan Yu said.

"What's the difference between this and an ordinary prefect?" Liu Dai complained.

"At least, he is a king. He can set up a government office and have a ceremonial guard for the title of kings. He can enjoy the taxes and labor of the fief..." Guan Yu looked at Liu Dai, "The key point is that no matter which prince succeeds to the throne, he probably won't find a way to kill you and me."

At most, he will take back the title of the king and then change it to the title of the marquis. If this treatment cannot be enjoyed in this life, then what about the children and grandchildren of his family? Who can guarantee that Liu Tao’s descendants will not put their ideas on their children and grandchildren?

Liu Dai did not think about the future before, and he also reacted because he heard this. After all, there were many such situations in history.

Even if Liu Tao directly retained Liu Dai as King Wei and asked him to command Yanzhou, he is of course extremely honorable and favored now. When the world is unified, it is probably not necessary to wait for Liu Tao's children and grandchildren to take action. Liu Tao himself will find a way to get him down.

The slightly better one is to abolish the title of king and change it to a marquis. Those with poor luck will be given a charge of treason or something, and none of the three tribes can save it.

On the other hand, talk about the conditions in advance. If you love them or not, accept this condition. I promise not to mess with you. To be honest, sometimes this will be easier.

And it is probably only Liu Tao in the world who can do this. He is not worried about not being unified at all. He just thinks that everyone is all their own family members and there is no need to beat their own family members. But if you insist on fighting, then I will certainly accompany you to the end.

After all, it’s self-confidence. If you don’t come now, if you want to come in the future, it depends on whether I want it.

Let’s talk about this imperial examination, after the imperial examination is officially held, all the recruitment, recommendation, and filial piety and integrity will be invalidated in the future. If you want to become an official, you must take the imperial examination, and those over 40 years old are not allowed to take the imperial examination again.

In the past, you ignored me and even publicly opposed me. Now whether you want to use you depends on my mood!

After all, he is domineering, and Liu Dai is speechless. The problem is that he is a disciple of the immortal family, and he is fearless and can't accept it.

"I will think carefully..." Liu Dai didn't say enough, but he was obviously already moved.

"My brother once said that his ambition was to learn from Emperor Guangwu of Han and promote Yan Han three times." Seeing this, Guan Yu just said slowly, "Many of his actions seemed absurd, but in fact everything was carefully considered."

At most, the considerations were too comprehensive and extensive, so that the officials below might be a little too busy... Guan Yu didn't want to talk about his brother, but sometimes he really felt that his brother seemed a little anxious.

Even Luoyang City cannot be built in one or two years, so I can't be anxious... If possible, many people probably hope that he will advise him like this, but Xi Zhicai told him privately that there is no need to pay attention to these people.

Liu Tao may be very anxious, and many things are spread out in a row, but they are within the capabilities of the existing officials to squeeze their talents to the greatest extent. Since there is no direct fatigue or sudden death in the Ministry of Revenue, it is better not to meddle in other people's business.

This time it is loose, and I can't do it if I want to come back tightly in the future.

After Xi Zhicai's guidance, Guan Yu gradually ignored these officials who complained to him in private, and even took the initiative to alienate these people.

"Three revivals of Yan Han... Can the Han Han still revival?" Liu Dai was a little dazed when he heard this. In fact, as a relative of the Han family, everyone has the dream of reviving the Han Han Dynasty.

"According to my brother's statement, since there is no way to revive the Han Dynasty according to the existing political system, we will design a system and law that can revive the Han Dynasty based on the actual situation at this stage. The three provinces and six ministries system, as well as the imperial examination system, were all his attempts." Guan Yu replied.

"If you take a wrong step, let alone the great man of Zhongxing, there will be no revenge. Wang Mang made many changes in the past, but you and I know what the outcome will happen." Liu Dai reminded.

"My brother said that Wang Mang's policies were not well promoted and implemented. His policies benefited ordinary people, but the officials below did not popularize his system or exploit the people in secret.

Therefore, the people who should have benefited were exploited instead; while the scholars who offended were still fanning the flames. Including other reasons, it led to his fate.

Wang Mang’s example just tells us that a good system requires first a group of officials who can realize and implement these systems for you. This is also the main reason for the imperial examination system," Guan Yu explained.

No wonder the imperial examinations can be synchronized by the three provinces and six ministries. It turns out that there is such a source... Liu Dai suddenly realized, and at the same time he also sighed that Liu Tao was indeed far enough. No, he didn't see far, but he also looked at the problem beyond the inherent framework.

They received enlightenment since childhood, and they read Confucian classics and Confucian theories. This means that many of them were viewed from the perspective arranged by others.

Liu Dai thought about it carefully and rarely thought outside this range. Because it is not possible, after all, it is the beginning of Emperor Wu of Han, which is to organize training. Aside from Confucianism and study other knowledge, it is hard to say whether it is unfilial.

At least it is easy to be attacked by others, especially those of the Han clan members. They finally made it easy to become officials and planned to show their ambitions. They revive the great man, but they were dismissed from office and excluded by scholars. They finally died of depression. This is naturally not what he wanted to see.

But the main theme of this society before was like this. Who can escape in this vortex?

That is, Liu Tao, who started from a small moments and suddenly rose to a high position. He had not experienced the beatings of the officialdom and society, so he had the courage he is now? Think about it carefully, it was rumored that he publicly stated at the poetry meeting of Yuan Mansion that he was a "Gongyang Ru". Liu Dai felt that perhaps he could have done this courage by more than ten years ago, now...

"Your Majesty's knowledge is indeed beyond my reach." Liu Dai sighed, "When I go back, I will discuss it with King Han, at least help him to favor Wei and Han. If there is any need to be sent, just give me instructions."

"I will tell Your Majesty these words." Guan Yu nodded. Liu Dai's implied that he was to surrender to Liu Tao. It was not considered as an immediate success, but this was already an important step.

He didn't expect that once he came, he could convince Liu Dai to submit to the court. It seemed that he still had the potential to be a lobbyist?

The matter came to an end here. After Liu Dai selected a group of prisoners from Jinan County, he sent them to the county seat and gave them the arrangements, mainly to send them back to their respective hometowns to resettlement, and at most to be monitored.

The rest was to write a letter to Puyang, so that the Prime Minister would prepare enough materials to ensure that the team returned to Sizhou smoothly.
