Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 208 I am your ancestor! !

"Lu Gong~~"

Zhao Tuo shouted happily, leaning on crutches, and tremblingly walked in the direction of Lu Jia.

"King!!!"

Lu Jia smiled, walked quickly to Zhao Tuo, and bowed to meet him.

Jibu stood behind Lu Jia, observing the Nanyue King who gave the big man a headache.I saw that this Nanyue king was disheveled, his face was pale, his hair was gray and his eyes were cloudy.

Ji Bu couldn't help shaking his head, the hero who dominated one side at the time is also old now.

Lu Jia was also surprised, he looked at Zhao Tuo, "Is your king still okay?"

"Hey, I don't know how long I have to live. Ahem, it's a blessing to be able to see an old friend before dying!"

After Zhao Tuo said that, he coughed violently again, and Lu Jia hurriedly supported him.

"Is Your Majesty still alright?"

"All right."

"Alas, in the past, when Duke Lu came here, I often corresponded with His Majesty by letters, but now I may not have been in touch for a long time."

"Your Majesty, Emperor Gao has passed away."

"Ah? Oh yes, Emperor Gao died."

Zhao Tuo said in a low voice, and then pulled Lu Jia to the banquet. Ji Bu followed behind them and observed the surroundings. Zhao Tuo brought a group of soldiers, most of whom were dressed in Qin.Zhao Tuo is also considered a remnant of the violent Qin Dynasty. He was a general of the Qin state at first, and later led his soldiers to expand the territory and became the prince of the hegemony side.

Therefore, the system he implemented in Nanyue, the dress of the soldiers, and the military system were no different from the violent Qin.

Zhao Tuo did not bring many soldiers, but it was obvious that they were all elites with cold eyes, staring at Ji Bu and the few soldiers accompanying him. As long as they made a slight change, they would be killed immediately.

And here is a mountain, surrounded by trees on three sides, Jibu can vaguely see a shadow flashing in the woods, the trees are lush, and the road is almost impossible to find. From time to time, birds are startled, flutter their wings, and quickly escape from here. Bu frowned, indeed, if you want to attack this place, it is really not easy.

Zhao Tuo invited Lu Jia to a banquet, and the two exchanged warmly and talked about the past.

These fierce people in the era of the first emperor can always find a lot of common topics, while talking about the glory of the past, and feeling the current situation at the same time.

Seeing that Zhao Tuo never spoke about Liu Chang, Lu Jia took the initiative to ask, "Why do you want to meet King Tang this time?"

Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, before he asked: "Lu Gong, the envoy told me, is Tang Wanglei real?"

Hearing this sentence, Ji Bu looked at the old man in front of him again. After observing for a moment, Ji Bu was shocked. This guy really looks very similar to his own king, especially his eyebrows and eyes.Liu Chang's face and chin are very similar to Liu Bang, but his eyebrows and eyes are not.

Liu Bang has thick eyebrows and small eyes. When he smiles, his eyes become a slit, and he looks very friendly. Unlike Liu Chang, the tail of his eyebrows, including the corners of his eyes, are raised upwards. He is born with phoenix eyes. These eyebrows are very oppressive. , looks very bad, especially when he squinted and stared, as if he was about to kill people, which was terrifying.

The same is true for the Zhao Tuo in front of him, just because his eyes are dull, he doesn't seem to have the same pressure as Liu Chang, and his nose is similar to Liu Chang in all aspects. The only difference is in the face shape. more square.

Lu Jia hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's true, but there are many people in the world who look alike. Does the king want to meet King Tang just because they look alike?"

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said in a low voice, "I am over sixty years old, everyone knows that I have a son and a daughter. But they don't know that I was married before I led the army and was still in my hometown. , I left my hometown to fight around in the year of the crown and left two sons and one daughter."

"Later Daqin lost me as a general of the Qin state, and the clan was implicated by me, and most of them were dismissed. The males in my family were executed, and the females were Ji. I sent people several times to inquire about his whereabouts. Zhao Wang Zhang Ao he There was a singer. That singer. Her surname was Zhao, and she later married Emperor Gao. She had a son."

Zhao Tuo became more and more excited, and his eyes were red.

Jibu was stunned.

Um? ?I thought it was a meeting of rebels, but it turned out that grandparents and grandchildren met? ?

The same is true for Lu Jia, he said in a daze: "Your Majesty. But it's just a coincidence that Tang Wang's birth mother is indeed Ding Zhao, and she is indeed Zhao Wang's singer... er... However, Tang Wang may not be the same as your Majesty. dear."

"I want to meet King Tang."

"King Tang is young, and I'm afraid he doesn't know too much about the past."

Lu Jia didn't dare to admit it. It wasn't that he didn't believe Zhao Tuo's words. It was just that the topic of Tang Wang's birth mother was too dangerous. If he is implicated, Lu Jia's face will become more and more ugly, how can this be good?He thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, this is Ji Bu, the king of Tang, and perhaps you have heard his name."

Ji Bu was taken aback for a moment, looking at Lu Jia who pushed him out decisively, but he was not angry and greeted Zhao Tuo calmly.

Zhao Tuo was very excited and hurriedly asked, "What kind of person is King Tang?"

Ji Bu pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty is powerful and strong, probably not a relative of the King of Nanyue."

"Hey! That's right! Our family has been a general for generations, and our ancestors are tall and burly, powerful and powerful. We passed it down from our ancestor Ji Sheng, and Ji Sheng's brother is evil! This is the legacy of our ancestors!!"

"Uh, the king of my family is violent and aggressive, and he is reckless."

"Yes! Yes! My grandfather was hunting. When he saw a tiger hurting people, he fought with a fierce tiger and killed a tiger. When I fought in the Quartet, I was also the first soldier, and I was a strong enemy. , I just put away my bad temper."

Ji Bu's face turned pale, he hurriedly explained: "My king is naughty."

"It's probably like its father."

Lu Jia and Ji Bu didn't know what to say for a while, Zhao Tuo said with a smile, "I am old, and before I die, if I can see my relatives, I will die without regrets."

"King. King Tang is young, I'm afraid I can't go here to meet the king."

"It's okay, let him prepare the location, and the old man will go. I can't govern myself for a long time, and I have already explained the funeral. Even if there is an accident halfway, it doesn't matter."

Zhao Tuo immediately began to entertain everyone. After everyone had a full meal, Zhao Tuo felt tired and was supported to rest.

Lu Jia and Jibu looked at each other at the moment.

"How is this good?"

"No problem, we came to Nanyue not to recognize relatives for King Tang. This matter is not important."

Ji Bu said in a low voice: "The important thing is whether Zhao Tuo is really no longer in power as he said. If he is so old and his son is in power now, even if he is arrested, it will have no effect at all. His son may not necessarily send troops to rescue."

Lu Jia nodded, and he asked seriously, "Then how do we accomplish our mission?"

"If the king can persuade Zhao Tuo to send troops, we can complete our mission."

"Ugh."

Lu Jia said helplessly: "Taking the land of Lingnan is actually not beneficial to the big man, and the King of Nanyue has no intention of going north. In fact, if he can make him return to his heart and avoid swords and soldiers, it will be a good thing."

Ji Bu gave him a cold look and said, "How can a strong enemy look at the tiger on the side of the big Han? Now Nanyue has no intention of going north, but if the big Han is at war with the Huns and has no intention of dealing with Nanyue, will Nanyue be like it is now? ? Now Han is getting weaker and weaker, so this is the case, if you don't take the opportunity to eliminate it, there will be great disasters in the future!"

Zhao Tuo didn't seem to have any thoughts about them. For a few days, he took them around and led them to see the scenery of South Vietnam.

There are many savages here, the roads are impassable, and the wild beasts are haunted. It is by no means a good place.

And Zhao Tuo has done a lot of things over the years. He managed Lingnan according to the system of the Qin Dynasty. Whether he was a scholar or a savage, he admired him very much. The dialects of Zhao, Qi, Chu and other regions were created because when the initial emperor moved the people from various places, after a long period of integration and intermingling with local languages, such a language was formed.

Zhao Tuo also took the essence of Qin's methods, removed the dross, reduced many harsh regulations, cultivated farming, smelted and made iron, and was working hard to turn the rural people here into kingly people.

After a few days like this, a messenger finally came and determined the place for the two sides to meet.

When the two princes and kings meet, the pomp must not be small.

When the two sides came, there was a mighty guard of honor. Zhao Tuo sat on the carriage, and two knights opened the way in front. As for Liu Chang, he rode a tall horse, covered with armor and swords, and was very majestic.After the two sides made contact once, the soldiers of the two sides lined up on both sides and stepped back at the same time, leaving a vacancy in the middle.

This is a low ridge, all sides are empty, servants came forward, set up the table, spread the table, the two sides took food and drink, and got busy. Liu Chang rode a big horse and looked into the distance. , Wanting to find Zhao Tuo's figure, he whispered to the left and right: "Later, listen to my orders and do it again, Ji Bu is still on Zhao Tuo's side, don't be reckless!"

"only!"

After getting ready, Liu Chang got off his horse and strode forward. When he walked quickly to the middle, he saw two people, supporting an elderly man, cautiously walking in his own direction.

After the two brought Zhao Tuo over, one of them asked loudly, "How can the feudal lords meet each other, wearing armor and fighting?"

"Hahaha, if the King of Nanyue is willing, he can also wear armor!"

Liu Chang said proudly, the man was furious and was about to speak, but Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "It's okay, you all go back."

"But. King Tang is wearing armor, you"

Liu Chang sneered disdainfully, took off his saber, and threw it abruptly. Mr. Fan's hand was quick and he grabbed it. Liu Chang took off the armor again, put it aside, and asked, "The King of Nanyue is not afraid now, right? ??"

The two snorted coldly and turned to leave, but Zhao Tuo just looked at Liu Chang in front of him with a smile.

Liu Chang was also looking at him, but neither of them spoke.

Liu Chang suddenly laughed.

"Why is the king laughing?"

"Lu Jia once told me that the King of Nanyue is extremely ugly, but now it seems that the King of Nanyue is still very handsome. When you were young, you must have been a beauty!"

"Your Majesty, sit down."

Only then did Liu Chang sit down, raised his head and stared at Zhao Tuo, and asked, "Tell me, what is the reason for calling me here? Are you going to join the army with me?"

"Raise an army? Is the king preparing to fight against the Huns?"

"Why are you pretending to be confused, the widow is going to rebel!"

Even Zhao Tuo was choked by Liu Chang's words. He had seen rebels, but he had never seen anyone who said he wanted to rebel in person. To do this, he didn't just have to make excuses for himself. ?For example, the world has been suffering for a long time?
Zhao Tuo pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the world is in chaos, ten rooms and nine empty spaces, and finally there is peace, why did Your Majesty send troops?"

"What about me? Just tell me, will you rebel or not?"

"I am old, and my son is in charge of domestic affairs. The king can discuss this matter with him. I have long ignored political affairs and will die soon."

Hearing this sentence, Liu Chang was stunned for a moment. He looked suspiciously at Zhao Tuo in front of him. If it was really like what Zhao Tuo said, then catching him seems useless!Liu Chang said displeasedly: "If you can't govern, why do you want me to come and watch the ceremony? Let someone who can decide to talk to me!"

"I came to see the king, not for the king's business, but for personal love."

"Privacy??"

Liu Chang said disdainfully: "What can I have an affair with you? I hate Zhao people the most in my life!"

Zhao Tuo laughed lightly. He shook his head and gestured to the back. Immediately, the minister of Nanyue began to play music. Liu Chang listened to the music and asked curiously, "What song is this? I never listened to it in Chang'an. passed."

"It's the joy of homeland."

As Zhao Tuo spoke, he picked up the meat in front of him and began to eat it. Liu Chang was the same, eating meat and drinking wine. Zhao Tuo raised his head from time to time, looking at Liu Chang's appearance, wondering what he was thinking. What, Liu Chang said with a smile: "The widow heard privately that the king of Nanyue likes music, so please ask the king of Zhao to play the widow!!!"

Zhao Tuo laughed, then coughed again.

"Your Majesty is going to call a historian to record this day, is your Majesty ordered the King of Nanyue to play for you?"

"Unfortunately, there is no Lin Xiangru here for the widow!"

Liu Chang also laughed, "You are a good person!"

"Why don't you follow me in rebellion? If I become emperor, I can share Wu land with you!"

Zhao Tuo took a deep look at Liu Chang and asked, "Does your Majesty want to deceive the Nanyue army and catch them all?"

"Who do you think of me, Chang Liu! How can a widow be someone who doesn't believe what he says?!"

Liu Chang became angry and asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, the old man has long ceased to govern the affairs of the state, and your Majesty's thoughts, even the little baby of Nanyue, are known. Before I came, I had already ordered the funeral, the Majesty doesn't have to do this."

Liu Chang's face darkened as he looked at the cunning old man in front of him. In this world, is there not even the most basic trust between princes and kings?

"Why don't you continue to eat and drink, Your Majesty?"

“Tasteless!”

"Eat more."

Zhao Tuo put a few pieces of meat for Liu Chang, and looked at Liu Chang with a smile.He devoured it and ate a few mouthfuls, while Zhao Tuo just looked at him with a smile. This kind of look made Liu Chang very uncomfortable, and he didn't like it very much.

"Did you call me from Chang'an to Nanyue just to sit here and watch me eat meat?!"

Zhao Tuo stared blankly at Liu Chang, and suddenly said:
"Long I am your father!!!"

"I am your ancestor!!!"

Liu Chang abruptly overturned the case in front of him, grabbed Zhao Tuo's neck, and raised his fists high.And this move immediately caused vibrations on both sides. Whether it was Nanyue or Dahan, they all raised their strong crossbows and aimed them at each other. If they disagreed, they would do it.

"Your Majesty! Impossible! Your Majesty!! Impossible!!"

At the moment, Lu Jia, who was still on the Nanyue side, shouted loudly.

Liu Chang glanced over there and said with a sneer, "That fellow is so afraid of death!"

Immediately, he looked at Zhao Tuo in front of him and asked, "Old man, I have never met an opponent over the years. The whole world knows that I am brave, so don't be afraid. How dare you insult me?!"

Zhao Tuo's eyes were red, he looked at Liu Chang blankly, and suddenly said, "Your biological mother is called He, and her name is Zhao He."

"you!!!"

"What did you say?"

"She looks very much like you when I left home. She was not yet ten years old and she was very tall. Your eldest mother often told me that she was afraid that she would not be able to marry in the future. When I left, she dared not tell her .. just say a few days and come back. She asked me to bring her snacks back, but I can't go back and I'll never see her again."

Zhao Tuo's tears kept dripping, "Long. Hit me, someone who doesn't believe in words."

Liu Chang's hands were shaking, and he let go of Zhao Tuo suddenly.

"Because of me. They were implicated in the death of the male and the humiliation of the female."

"Your grandmother became King Zhao's singer. Later, she was given to Liu Bang like a cargo. She died in prison in the end. No one came to save her!"

Zhao Tuo lowered his head, just shook his head, crying continuously.

Liu Chang took a deep breath and forcibly remained calm. He sat down again and stared at Zhao Tuo in front of him.

"I hate others to lie to me the most. If you lie to me in the name of my biological mother, I swear to destroy your clan, and the chickens and dogs will not be left, and the bones will be thrown into ashes!!"

"I never lied to you, look at my face!"

Zhao Tuo said excitedly, "I am your eldest father!"

"I lost my children, but I saw her children again today."

"Like her, tall and strong, what do you want to eat?"

Liu Chang had a stern face and said nothing.

"In Chang'an, without your close relatives, they are all your enemies!"

"Everyone who dared to tell the truth has been executed."

"They all just want to use you, no one treats you as their close relative!"

"Stay in South Vietnam and come back with me."

"I will give you the throne here, and you will not be bullied again. Only here are your true blood relatives!"

"Your uncle, he is a simple and honest person, and he will love you as his own child."

"In the future, you will lead the army of Nanyue and kill all the way to Zhao State. Bury me and your biological mother and I will rest in peace!!!"

Zhao Tuo said loudly.

The armies of the two sides were still posing at the moment, the crossbows pointed at each other, murderous, and the flags of both sides were hunting in the wind.

Liu Chang looked at Zhao Tuo in front of him very calmly, without the slightest irritability on his face, nor a moment of entanglement.

"You asked me to come here to provoke my relationship with my mother and many other princes. Maybe you also want to anger the big man. Let the big man send troops to destroy the army of the big man on the terrain you are familiar with, so as to preserve the peace of your Nanyue country."

"Are you underestimating me, Chang Liu?"

"I do have half of Zhen Ding Zhao's blood in my body. Zhen Ding Zhao may be easy to deceive, but I still have half of my blood and half of my blood is not so easy to deceive."

Liu Chang suddenly stretched out his hand, wrapped his arms around Zhao Tuo, and stared at the soldiers of the Nanyue Kingdom in the distance.

"Throw the strong crossbow to Nai Gong!!!"

"Otherwise, I will break his neck!!!"
