Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 443 Do you think my seal looks good?

Chai Wu sat in the inner room with a straight face.

As the founding general who followed Emperor Gao to pacify the world, he did not expect that one day, he would not be able to keep the position of Lang Zhongling. The position of Lang Zhongling is very important and has great power. Among his subordinate officials, there are people who are responsible for discussions. The doctor, who is in charge of welcoming and sending guests off and accepting the attendance of the ministers, enshrined in the court, waiting for the appointment of Zhu Lang, as well as the imperial guards such as the Qimen and the Southern Army.

These people are all under his control, and his main duties include guarding the guards, managing officers, preparing advisors to respond, admonishing gains and losses, offering sacrifices to the suburbs, paying tribute to princes and princes, reading policy books, and so on.

During the period of Emperor Gao, it was Chen Ping who served as the commander-in-chief, which shows how important this position is.

And he was replaced by the South Vietnamese Prime Minister Shen Tujia.

Chai Wu was supposed to leave last month, but because His Majesty wanted him to go with Liu Wei, King of Beiting, and King Beiting was not ready, so he waited in Chang'an.

Regarding this transfer, it is impossible to say that Chai Wu has no dissatisfaction in his heart.The Taiwei of other countries is fine, but this Beiting country is slightly better than Xiting, and it is not much better. The number of soldiers in the whole country is estimated to be less than 1000.

These armored soldiers are still different from soldiers. There are about 3000 soldiers, while there are only about [-] or [-] Liangjiazi who wear armor to fight.

Where is this Taiwei, there are more Langzhong under his command than this.

The one who was the same as him, was actually the stupid son of General Xiahou, and one day he was reduced to the point of being on an equal footing with him?

Chai Wu sighed again.

Chai Wu is also very clear about the reasons for His Majesty's release of himself. In these days, he has not less opened the door for Zhou Chang and the others. However, Chai Wu has no selfishness. Like many ministers, he Thinking that he was doing the right thing, at this moment, he has no regrets.

At this moment, a servant walked in, "General! Welcome to the Grand Lieutenant of Xi Tingguo!"

"West Court."

Chai Wu was stunned for a while, and then he remembered who this captain was. He waved his hand unhappily, "No!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a strong man with a soldier barging in.

It was Xiahouzao who came, and Chai Wu was furious.

"You."

Chai Wu was about to scold when Xia Houzao raised the seal of the captain high in his hand. The seal of the captain of this country is different from that of the captain of the Han Dynasty. Xia Houzao said loudly: "The captain has an order!!!"

As soon as Chai Wu said two words, he quickly saluted Xiahouzao and bowed in front of him.

Xiahouzao laughed complacently and shouted insults: "The captain said: Chen Wu!! How dare you deceive the emperor if he doesn't want to protect the emperor?! Go on the gang of murderers, what does the southern army eat? You think for the emperor. Suppressing traitors, actually colluding with traitors, and daring to write letters to me, deceiving people too much!! [-] sticks to reflect on your mistakes!!”

Chai Wu lowered his head and sweat kept rolling down his forehead.

Calling Chai Wu Chen Wu is the same as calling Xiang Yu Ji Ji, which is a humiliation to him. However, as a general who fought with Han Xin, Chai Wu has nothing to say about this, and Han Xin wants to beat him in the [-]th Army. Stick, he also recognized it, but there is a big problem here.

Chai Wu raised his head and defended: "But, I never wrote to the king."

Founding generals like Fan Kuai, Xiahouying, Zhou Bo, and Chai Wu always called Han Xin "the king" to show their respect for him. Fewer and fewer people call Han Xin so.

Xia Houzao snorted coldly.

"It was Lang Zhong who delivered the letter, and you who signed it. Even the specifications of the seal belonged to Lang Zhong's house. Who else could it be? Who else could know your house so well?"

Chai Wu reacted suddenly, "That must be."

Chai Wu pursed his lips and lowered his head in despair, "It was written by Chen Chen."

"Come on!! Hit the bat!!"

Chai Wu was relatively young in the founding troupe, but he was still able to carry it. After Chai Wu was sentenced, Xiahouzao said again: "The one who punished you was the Marquis of Huaiyin! Not me! Do you have any complaints?! "

"Don't dare!"

Xiahouzao left his mansion arrogantly, playing with the seal in his hand. This thing is really easy to use. Along the way, as long as Xiahouzao takes out this thing, everyone has to salute, and I don't dare to say anything, I would have known it earlier. I shouldn't have left the West Court so early, I should show my father to see his reaction, it's really a pity.

This time, Xiahouzao was not fooling around, he was really carrying out the orders of the captain.

The order that Han Xin gave him was to beat up those ministers who did not obey the emperor's discipline.

This kind of thing still has to be a reckless man like Xiahouzao. Among the sages, Lu Tazhi is. If you give him a seal, he may not dare to fight. These are all men who founded the country, not to mention that they have many friends. , Who knows if one day he will serve under the other party's command. At that time, wouldn't he be retaliated against? ?

Xiahouzao obviously did not have such concerns, and he was fighting the founding hero.

During this period of time, Xiahouzao beat these people everywhere, not to mention how happy he was. After beating Chai Wu, he just came to the palace.

Liu Chang knew about Xiahouzao's arrival.

As for his intentions, Chang Liu probably knew that, Master was going to vent his anger.

In fact, it doesn't take Master to vent such a thing, Liu Chang can do it himself, but this is more like a kind of intimidation, try again and let you die.

Han Xin is a detached existence in the whole temple. The queen mother has to find a reason to kill you. Han Xin is not needed, so what if he is removed from the title, how difficult is it to earn a Chehou?Isn't that enough to have a hand?

When Xiahouzao came to Houde Hall, Liu Chang had already prepared the banquet and waited for him with a smile.

When the two brothers met, they immediately embraced each other excitedly.

"Hahaha, why are you so thin again?"

Liu Chang laughed and scolded.

Xia Houzao looked at his thick arms, then looked at Liu Chang in front of him, and nodded, "It's thin."

"Yaf, are they okay with him?"

The two sat down and talked about the situation in the Western Regions, and Xiahouzao became excited, "While the Taiwei initiated the construction of roads in the Western Regions, he let us go on expeditions. Lord, the soldiers and soldiers in the Western Regions are assisted, and even the food is provided by the countries in the Western Regions. Three great victories, more than [-] gains. Kangju people no longer dare to resist, those who surrendered surrender, and those who fled escape.

"He and I are mainly responsible for the Xiongnu in the south. We fought the Xiongnu twice in the Ronglu area, and we both won and lost. When I came back, Yafu had already taken my place and was going to set off from Congling. , leading a chariot and riding deep into the heart, they are going to capture the city of Tashkent, and the Marquis of Huaiyin said that this place will be used as a bridgehead for the Han to the outside world."

"Your Majesty doesn't know, from there to Chang'an, I'm afraid it will take four or five years!"

The two talked for a long time, and Liu Chang talked about Xiahouzao's stay in Chang'an again.

"After you return to Chang'an, why are you running around if you don't come to see me?"

"Hahaha, Commander's order."

"When did you become so obedient?"

Xia Houzao looked at his ass, "The might of a military stick"

"Except for Zhou Chang, I have already beaten everything that should be beaten. Zhou Chang is ill, and I am afraid of killing him."

Xia Houzao said, suddenly remembered something, took out the seal from his body, and gestured to Liu Chang.

Liu Chang looked at him blankly, and Xia Houzao waved a few more times.

"what are you doing???"

"It's nothing, Your Majesty, do you think this print looks good?"

Liu Chang didn't know whether this seal was good-looking or not, but it really caused an uproar in Chang'an.

They all knew that Han Xin was very protective of his shortcomings, but they didn't expect to be so protective of them.

This time, he sent Xiahouzao to come, what about the next time?If he came in person, would these people really be gone?The Queen Mother is fierce and seldom let these founding generals drink. The Queen Mother is more fond of talents. Although she is not as loving as Liu Bang, Han Xin is different. Everyone is stupid in his eyes. , Han Xin believes that as long as there is a big battle, there can be countless such mediocre generals, and they have absolutely nothing to pay attention to.

Zhang Budo took Xiahouzao back to his mansion that night.

This made the ministers even more frightened. If these two lunatics were embarrassed, what kind of disaster would Chang'an be?

Nanyue Kingdom, Jiaozhi County.

King Wu got out of the car with a smile, looked at the two topless men in front of him, helped them up, looked at the scars on their bodies, turned around quickly, and asked, "Where is the imperial doctor?! Come here quickly. !!"

The two men who had cut off their tattoos immediately possessed themselves and bowed, and said in the less fluent South Vietnamese dialect: "Sinners dare not be so loved by the king!!"

"You have done good to the big man, how can you be considered a sinner?"

"Please get up quickly!"

Liu Heng helped them up. They were about to say something, but Liu Heng was in no hurry. He asked the imperial doctor to check their bodies and put medicine on them. He stood by and waited. There were also a few prisoners, who were being tied up at the moment, looking at Liu Heng angrily.

And the glaring captive was the king of Zhenla Kingdom.

It took Liu Heng only [-] days to pacify the Zhenla Kingdom, or in other words, it took him five years to pacify the Zhenla Kingdom.

The terrain of Zhenla Country is quite dangerous. Although there are many plains, there are many wild beasts and miasma. It is isolated by large jungles and mountains and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Of course, unlike Funan, most of Funan is a treasure land. Lah is today's Cambodia, while Funan is the southernmost region of today's Vietnam, and the two countries border.

It took only [-] days from receiving the order from the temple to Liu Heng's dispatch of troops, and the two generals of Zhenla tied up their king and sent them directly to Jiaozhi County.

And the reason why they do this is because of the "policy of tenderness" that Liu Heng has implemented here for a long time.

After Liu Heng began to take charge of the entire South, he set his sights here. On this land, many crops are grown twice a year, and there are also many manpower and many resources. Liu Heng wants to Completely open up this side, and then transport it by water, linking Chu, Wu, Nanyue, and even Funan to form a coastal trade chain, driving the development of the entire South. There are many things in the South that are lacking in the North.

Afterwards, Liu Heng adopted the policy of Huairou, which, in simple terms, means constant bribes.

He worked hard to manage Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan and other counties, constantly migrating prisoners here, transporting farm implements, food, and building cities by water. It was very obvious. Immediately, he ordered that the people of Zhenla should not be embarrassed. If a woodcutter entered Dahan County by mistake, they should not be embarrassed. If they came to settle voluntarily, they could also be exempted from their two years of taxes and given to them. land, teach them about farming.

Later, Liu Heng attracted a lot of Zhenla and Funan people and sent them back to their homeland. They were mainly responsible for publicizing the prosperous times under the rule of the Han. There were no corvées, little taxation, enough food, no People are embarrassed, the officials are friendly, they are also responsible for attracting the local princes and tribal leaders for Liu Heng, telling them about the super high treatment over the big Han, many novel and fun things, and saying that the officials over there are more comfortable than the princes here. a lot of.

In their descriptions, the Dahan side is simply the life of a god. Therefore, large-scale immigrants appeared in Chenla. These people fled to the three counties of Dahan and settled here. After this situation, King Chenla listened to the advice of his ministers, and began to prohibit the people from fleeing, and sent people to kill them.

The big man had several small disputes with them.

But this kind of obstruction seems to further prove that the big man is the land of immortals, and this situation is getting worse and worse.

Liu Heng often sent people to communicate with the tribal leaders here in Zhenla, and gave gifts. King Zhenla also killed many ministers because of this, and finally banned people from the Han Dynasty from coming to his country.

This situation lasted for five years. When they learned that the big Han was going to attack Chenla, the two generals of Zhenla directly tied their king. After a civil war, the two victorious generals brought the king of Chenla to the army Jiaozhi County, given to the Han army.

Without bloodshed, a country was conquered, and the entire southern country was boiling, and Liu Heng's reputation had reached an unprecedented level here.

Liu Heng took the hands of the two generals and entertained them very well, but did not ask about the prisoners, but asked about their casualties. The two generals had never seen such a king before, and they didn't even know what to say. What, Liu Heng rewarded them with a lot of things, and made arrangements for them in person, and sent them back to the temple, so they were asked to go back to rest.

After they went back to rest, Liu Heng called the general Tian Lubo.

"General Tian, ​​bring someone to take over Zhenla now, watch out for Funan's attack."

"The army of Zhenla."

"Don't worry, when the two generals have rested, the widow will let them take care of it, and then the treasury of Chenla can be opened to distribute the food."

Liu Heng had his own arrangements, Tian Lubo hurriedly agreed, turned and left.

Zhou Qiu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's soldiers are not bloody, and it is truly embarrassing to break a country."

"This is also because the big man is strong, and the only thing Zhenla can rely on is their terrain. In other aspects, they have no ability to fight against the big man. If they can enjoy the wealth in the big man, who would like to squat in the mountains and forests to fight against the big man. kill?"

"When Funan returns to surrender, those Champa barbarians will not be worth mentioning. The entire south will be the land of Dahan. As long as you manage it carefully."

Liu Heng stroked his beard and looked north.

"The southern country is weak, sparsely populated, and resources cannot be developed. Now there are many barbarians outside South Vietnam, and there are nearly a million people. They are divided and divided. In less than 40 years, these million barbarians have become millions of people in the Han Dynasty. The most important thing in governing a country is the number of people. There are not enough people to make things happen. There is nothing worth paying attention to in areas like Chenla, and what I want is these people."

"My brother wants to open an unprecedented prosperous world. Widow is an incompetent brother, and dare not have such a big ambition, but he can't be a drag on him."

"Your Majesty, you govern the southern kingdom. In just a few years, the southern kingdom is well governed and the people are prosperous."

Liu Heng shook his head, interrupting Zhou Qiu's flattery.

"You don't understand, the land in the southern country is not weaker than the land in the north, and even the land in many parts of the southern country is better than the land in the north. The main reason is that there are too few people behind here, and the technology is backward. The people in the north are good at farming. The same field strength, but more harvests, many good fields in the southern country have not been developed, what the widowers have done over the years is to promote the many methods of the northern country, and there is nothing else to do."

"And if Your Majesty wants to create a prosperous world, this southern country must be developed."

"The widow is also thinking about how to develop it in these days. Today's southern country is a beggar sitting on a treasured land."

"I'm afraid that the widow will not see that flourishing world, so try your best."

Chang'an, Quni Hou's Mansion.

Chen Ping, who was getting thinner and thinner, was sitting on his knees in the study, writing something.

The old retainer came in and poured some tea for him, and said with a smile, "Chang'an has been very lively these past few days. I heard that Zhang Buxuan, together with Xiahouzao, was threatening the ministers everywhere. Just now, six people came to visit, and I followed your order and did not let them in."

There was no surprise on Chen Ping's face, he just nodded slightly.

"Patriarch. Let the imperial physician order come to see you, you are getting thinner and thinner."

"No need."

"I am old, and even if Bian Que comes back to life, there is nothing I can do."

Chen Ping put down the pen in his hand, and the beautiful and delicate hand seemed a little rough at the moment, shaking slightly.

"As long as Han Xin comes forward, the ministers will naturally not dare to make trouble. Although Zhang Cang has the ability, he has no deterrent effect on the ministers. obedience, even if it is private resistance."

"I'm too old to be able to deter them. Han Xin still has to come forward for this kind of thing."

"Wait another year or two, and when Zhang Cang has made some achievements, there is no need for Han Xin to intimidate. As long as these people can see the results, they will have no other ideas and will do their best to assist Your Majesty. With Han Xin, the kings are in harmony, the foreign enemies are almost fleeing, and within five years, there will be no major changes."

"Since you have nothing to worry about, then let the imperial physicians."

"My lord, you have already established a reputation for immortality, so why should you be afraid of death?"

"No regrets!!"
