Chapter 703

After entering Nanjing City, Liu Bu began to have a big banquet with officials, then moved into the East Palace and worked in the east palace.

In the status of the Liu family, Liu Bu is a worthy prince. It is estimated that on the day Liu Yuanqiao ascends the throne, he will be established as the prince without objection. Therefore, he moved into the east palace without even thinking about it. All people think so.

In contemporary times, there is also a strong concept of hierarchy in terms of orientation. In architecture, it is the most noble to be located in the central block from north to south. In addition to the main hall, in terms of East and West, the East is the largest, which is a tradition of all dynasties, and so is the folk.

The crown prince is called the East Palace because the crown prince, as the head of all princes and Prince, is second only to the emperor. Naturally, he should live in the highest level place except the main hall, that is, the place where the emperor lives, and the East Palace has become the name of the crown prince.

In the past dynasties, the emperor made heirs, which was related to the foundation of the country. Before that, all dynasties established the candidates for the crown prince when the emperor was alive, and thus formed a complete set of official system around the crown prince.

Probably since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the East Palace has become the official office of the crown prince, and the word East Palace has become a substitute for the crown prince.

The system of the East Palace was complete in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. From the perspective of its organizational system, the meaning of the East Palace institution to the crown prince as a prince is similar to that of all officials in the imperial court to the emperor. In a certain sense, the East Palace system is a fairly complete power system, or a quasi imperial court, because in fact, the East Palace system is a miniature imperial court.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were three divisions and three shaos of the crown prince (the crown prince, the crown prince, the crown Fu and the crown Bao, the crown prince's Junior Division, the crown Fu and the crown Bao) and the crown prince's guests, who were in charge of the guidance and instruction of the crown prince. Zhan Shi Mansion under it is similar to Shangshu province of the imperial court.

The crown prince also has military power, that is, the ten rate house, that is, the left and right guard rate, the left and right guard rate, the left and right guard rate, the left and right guard rate, and the left and right inner rate. Each of them leads the soldiers of the East Palace to fight against Yuwei and patrol police, which is no different from the capital and palace prohibition of Yuwei, the 16th guard of the imperial court.

Of course, there are many government offices and official positions in the east palace. All official positions in the east palace can be found in the imperial court. It can be seen that the system of the East Palace was very complete in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and formed an extremely close corresponding relationship with the political system of the imperial court.

Such an organization reminds Liu bu that it is a bit like the vice president and reserve leadership of the future American Empire.

Of course, Liu Bu's crown prince is somewhat different from the princes of previous dynasties. This is that the princes of previous dynasties were canonized by the emperor, and Liu Bu's crown prince seems to have been returned by himself.

If it comes to this credit and power, he is not under his father, and the territory and territory of the Liu family are mainly fought by him. Liu Bu's east palace is the group with the largest power in the Liu family's power system. Basically all military and financial power are in his hands. Therefore, his east palace system can not be just a reserve at present.

Of course, the current Liu family is in a relatively embarrassing place. This is that they basically have the foundation of a country, but they have not established a country or claimed the emperor.

Liu Yuanqiao's current status is also somewhat special and ambiguous. For example, he has become the second largest force in the Ming Dynasty after the emperor. There are more soldiers and horses in his territory than JianNu, but he did not claim the emperor.

Even the current JianNu claimed to be the post Jin State, Tiancong Khan, and his current identity of Liu Yuanqiao is still the Denglai governor of the imperial court. Of course, he, the Denglai governor, is in charge of far more than that.

Therefore, there is no need for them to talk about the official title and system. Whoever holds power is the big man. In this regard, Liu Bu's power is no worse than his father. He is a man without the name of the emperor but with the reality of the emperor.

Even for now, he is a prince who is certain. There is no doubt that the emperor does not need to be suspicious.

For example, in the Li Tang Dynasty, the power struggle was so cruel and fierce because they had many choices and heirs.

Moreover, in future generations, many people believe that Li Shimin's rebellion is a last resort. He fought back the world of Datang and should not be taken away by Jiancheng.

It's just that Li Shimin has been concealing and whitewashing peace since he became emperor. How can he play down the world of the Tang Dynasty? If he plays down the world of the Tang Dynasty, it's a bit equivalent to saying that now, the world of the Liu family is the same as that of Liu Zhongyong. He plays the role of a general in charge.

The doings of charge into the enemy ranks, and his father Li Yuan and his brother Li Jiancheng are the commanders of the commanding class. They are in the middle of the scenes and are in the middle of the whole. Everything Li Jiancheng does is actually similar to Liu Bu's present. He has no personal lead in fighting and fighting, but is behind the plot and mobilizing, training the army and gathering the grain and grass. Therefore, he Li Shimin can have a steady stream of food and grass, and can go everywhere at ease. In this regard, his contribution to Li Jiancheng is no less than that of Li Shimin.

Moreover, according to the historical ritual system of thousands of years in the past, Li Jiancheng was the eldest son of the emperor, and his family property was always his, regardless of what happened to Li Shimin. It was only Li Shimin's wolf ambition and refused to admit defeat. He boldly launched the change of Xuanwu Gate, which won the world.

Li Shimin was a brilliant master of the Ming Dynasty, but from the perspective of human nature and family affection, he was ruthless and cruel. He killed his brother, killed his brother and imprisoned his father, which won the throne.

Anyone who says he is good must inevitably mention this and face it squarely: if your son does so, will you still say Li Shimin is good and admire him?

However, this is a historical event. After Li Shimin, there are no such cattle who dare to do it like this. Most of those who oppose their father and imperial power have basically been eradicated one by one and mercilessly annihilated, which also leads to the saying that it is not easy to be the crown prince.

Liu Bu's position is a bit like emperor Zhengde, the son of emperor Hongzhi. As far as he is a son, no matter how mischievous his son is, how bastard he is, and how dissatisfied and unhappy the court officials are with him, he must finally be treated. It is estimated that Liu Bu is this treatment.

Before Liu Yuanqiao arrived, Liu Bu's East Palace was the highest authority in Nanjing, or the highest authority in the Liu family system. Liu Bu issued orders in his east palace to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to attack all parties.

After entering the city and sharing, several of his main divisions immediately went to all parties according to the formulated battle plan and quickly raided all parts of the country.

Good news came from the front. This is the cavalry of Burigude. They quickly arrived in Suzhou. When the Ming army in the city was about to fight back and raise troops, they successfully entered the city, deterred these people, and firmly controlled this first important tax town of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, buzhibude led his cavalry to Hangzhou, another important town, and besieged Hangzhou.

At the same time, Zheng Zhibao's fleet to the north also participated in the siege of Hangzhou. They sent a huge fleet to blockade the Hangzhou Bay, surrounded Hangzhou from the sea, entered the canal and shelled Hangzhou City, causing disastrous panic. The army and people in the city, dead and injured, scrambled for their lives and became a mess.

When Buri Gude's army arrived in Hangzhou and began to besiege the city, Zhang Deping, the chief envoy of the Zhejiang chief envoy Department of the Ming Dynasty, led all the officials of the chief envoy department to surrender, while Wu Yongjing, the governor of Zhejiang, burned himself and killed himself in the city. Hangzhou, an important town, also fell into the hands of Liu Jun. the lifeline of the Ming Dynasty and the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal basically fell into the hands of Liu Jun, and the Ming army no longer sent troops south, The theory of opening the canal.

The Ming inland is now extremely empty. The main thing is that the more than 200 years of peace and prosperity has made the military equipment extremely abandoned. Coupled with the war in various places, the only troops have been transferred away. In this way, all places are extremely empty. With the combat effectiveness of Liu Jiajun's division, he can often win a province.

This is mainly because the troops of these provinces are really empty in space. In addition, it is mainly the saying that the imperial power does not go down to the county. The Royal Army is mainly concentrated in large prefectures and counties, and there is no way to control some remote areas.

When the Liu family's army conquered these prefectures and counties, the local tyrants and local giants quickly surrendered to their new masters when they saw the change of the king's flag at the head of the city.

For the local tyrants in these places, the emperor of the Zhu family is the emperor and must bear corvee and tax. The emperor of the Liu family is also the emperor and must also bear corvee and tax.

Although today's children's songs have also spread all over the south of the Yangtze River: eat his mother, wear his mother, Liu Jun doesn't accept food when he comes!

However, as long as they are bold and powerful with brains, they all understand and agree that since the founding of Pangu, the people have to cultivate land, receive grain and take negative service. This is a matter of course.

They firmly believe that even if they change an emperor, as long as they are willing to continue to farm and pay taxes for him, these people will still be his local tyrants. Of course, this is what Liu Jiajun can't do at present. The situation is critical and strong enemies are around, so they can't take the time to clean up these people.

Liu Bu decided that he must at least control the whole Jiangnan before next spring, waiting for the opportunity to enter places such as Huguang or Liangguang, and strive to control this place within next year.

This year is the tenth year of Chongzhen. His plan is to build a new empire based on these places, and then fight against the Ming Empire in the north to destroy it in a few years.
