Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 473

"what?!"

When Liu Chang announced in front of the ministers that he was going to take part in the poisoning, and attributed all this to Feng Jing, the ministers just couldn't believe it. They always thought that Feng Jing was a man of morality and uprightness. , has the style of Wang Ling Zhou Chang, and they all think that he has the talent of the censor.

I never imagined that you, Feng Jing, a moral gentleman, actually began to degenerate into a flattering villain like Zhang Budo. In order to please the emperor, he would do anything to please the emperor. The dignified man would actually threaten foreign countries to force him. Liang, isn't this the style of a market ranger? ?
Seeing the hostility in the eyes of the officials, Feng Jing let out a long sigh and accepted his fate.

He already knew it would end like this, but what could he do?

Liu Chang's face is full of smiles. Every time he encounters a credit, he can give these ministers credit, so that they can also be dazzled. How many wise emperors like him have been in ancient times?In the past, the emperor was eager to seize the credit of the ministers, but he did the opposite.

Such a move is far inferior to Yao, Shun, and Yu.

The ministers were discussing this matter at the moment, and their eyes turned to Zhang Cang from time to time. Most of them hoped that Zhang Cang could come forward and persuade him. Given Zhang Cang's status in the emperor's place, if he opened his mouth, he would really be able to speak. Change some of Liu Chang's thoughts.

Zhang Cang was also a little surprised at the moment. As a prime minister in the traditional sense, he has been thinking about how to increase grain production through legitimate means these days, but he has ignored these illegal means. Zhang Xiang frowned, looking like Thoughtfully, it didn't seem like he was going to come forward to dissuade His Majesty.

Zhang Cang is not Zhou Chang after all.

The ministers had no choice but to focus on the rest of the people. Zhang Zuoxiang was currently praising His Majesty's sage and virtuousness. Yushi Ji seemed a little tired and haggard because of the rectification of the government these days. if.

As a doctor of the censorship, Ji Bu had high expectations for him at first.

Because Ji Bu is trustworthy and honest, he is a standard worthy minister in all aspects, and his morals are flawless, but the problem is that Ji Bu only does things and does not discuss politics.He rarely participates in the decrees of the temple, and only does things within his own duties, which makes the ministers very disappointed.

The ministers hoped that Shen Tujia would stand up and oppose it, but Shen Tujia was stubborn, after all, he was born in a soldier, and in this kind of external aspect, he would not come forward to discourage him at all.

Only Zhang Shizhi stood up, looking unhappy.

"Why don't your majesty simply entertain the kings of the body and poison, ask them to play the violin for you, intimidate them to cede their city land, and deceive their king to imprison them in Chang'an on the grounds of an alliance?!"

Liu Chang was taken aback, thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, if you do this, won't I become a violent Qin?!"

Zhang Shizhi's face was red, "Since Your Majesty knows about the violence of Qin, why do you still do such a thing? Your Majesty wants to make the people of the world have enough to eat and promote agriculture in the country. This is fundamental. Prosperity is not a long-term plan, His Majesty's current behavior, in the eyes of this minister, is to give up the basics and take the bottom."

"Your Majesty can ask for it once, ask twice, ask for three times, and after four times, these people will rise up to resist. Does the big man want to go on an expedition against them? Can the treasury support a war of this scale? To do this kind of useless work, it is better to work hard at home.”

Listening to Zhang Shizhi's words, Liu Chang was touched and frowned, "This matter can be discussed later."

The ministers were shocked, this drowsy lord actually backed down? ? ?

Even Zhang Shizhi looked a little dazed. He was ready to persuade His Majesty from all aspects. He never expected that His Majesty would agree so quickly. Praise Your Majesty's Holy Spirit.

Only Zhang Budo just looked at this group of people with cold eyes.

Based on what he knew about His Majesty, His Majesty did not back down, he probably came up with some new solution.

At the end of the court meeting, the ministers cheered. This is the first victory they have achieved during the court meeting since Chang Liu took the throne. It was the first time they persuaded the king to change his mind. They were so excited that tears filled their eyes. It's great! !
When they walked out of the palace, everyone gathered around Zhang Shizhi. At this moment, Zhang Shizhi's fame increased greatly. Just as they were celebrating lively, Zhang Cang shook his head. These people are still young.

He looked back and sure enough, Zhang Budo, Feng Jing, Luan Bu, and Ji Bu were not here.

Zhang Cang sighed, turned and left here.

In the Hall of Houde, the four people who disappeared were sitting in front of Liu Chang.

Feng Jing just felt a little awkward, because the three sitting here were His Majesty's beloved, hard-core confidants, and he was sitting here with them now, and he didn't know whether he should be happy, moved, or should sorrow
Feng Jing always felt that there was something wrong with this matter. After all, how could it be possible that the policy that the emperor himself had thought up could have been abandoned just because of Zhang Shizhi's few words?

And these house people looked quite calm.

Zhang Budo asked directly, "Does your Majesty have any better ideas?"

"Yeah, I've thought about it, and Zhang Shizhi is right, a momentary looting can't solve the fundamental problem!"

Zhang Budo asked suspiciously, "Then Your Majesty is preparing?"

"I have to find a way to establish a long-term looting and occupation of them. It can't be solved temporarily, but it can definitely be solved in the long run!"

Hearing this sentence, Feng Jing's eyes darkened, and he immediately wanted to escape from here.

"Then what is your Majesty going to do?"

"I am also thinking, compared to simple coercion and inducement, it seems that commerce is more feasible?"

"Poisoned people also need cloth and paper, right? Their nobles also need silk? And these things can only be made by a big man. You say, our spinning wheel, one person can spin the spinning wheel in one day. How many times the cloth that comes out is hand-woven by a poisoned person?"

"If we lower the price a little bit, set up factories in the Western Regions, and then sell our products to drug dealers, will they all have to rely on our stuff in the future? Dahan has a lot of resources, and we can use these things to get what we want. In exchange for food and other supplies."

"It can even suppress the price of food and force them to use Dahan's coins to settle the bills. The currency is chaotic. If they all use Dahan's coins, it happens that we have captured the Japanese island. Isn't there a lot of silver there?"

Liu Chang slowly told his thoughts.

Luan Bu asked, "Then you won't force them to pay tribute?"

"Who said that? What is the relationship between trade and tribute? If you want to get the protection of the big Han, then you will have to pay tribute. However, if you become a tributary country of the big Han, then when we sell things, it can be a little cheaper. "

"Then, does His Majesty want to organize merchants to conduct trade, or do you want to allow domestic merchants to trade?"

"Probably still have to take the lead from the temple, and then bring the domestic businessmen. Feng Gong, what do you think??"

Even if he lowered his head as much as possible to keep His Majesty from noticing him, Feng Jing still couldn't hide. Feng Jing raised his head and saw His Majesty's smiling face, his heart was full of bitterness.

Can't you just scourge your loved one a little bit? ?

"Your Majesty is right, it's just that this kind of trade is not easy. The journey is long and the cost is too high. If Your Majesty wants to lower the price, it will only be able to make ends meet in the end."

"Yes, yes, what you said also makes sense, so the cost must be reduced, but don't worry, I will find a way, first of all, to open the way, and then let these people know how good Dahan's things are, these things are only The big man has it, if you want, you can let them come to the big man."

"Let's talk about your opinions too!"

Luan Bu said seriously; "If we can solve the problem of transportation costs, other things will not be difficult, and there are the Huns. If we do business with the body poison, the biggest problem is the Huns, and now Ji porridge occupies the main road, and Ji Porridge is not an incompetent king, he will not watch the big Han trade and trade with other countries.”

"And the Huns live in no fixed place and don't care about the gains and losses of the city. It is easy to defeat them, but it is very difficult to destroy them or make them afraid."

Ji Bu added: "In addition, you want them to pay tribute, but if there is a war between the tributary countries, what should the big Han do?"

Shiren had a lot of ideas, and everyone talked about it enthusiastically.

When the business talk was at its most intense, there was a commotion outside the door, breaking everyone's discussion. Liu Chang was furious, "Which dog entered outside the door?! Dare to make a noise here?!"

Hearing Liu Chang's voice, Zhang Budo couldn't bear it any longer, got up and walked out of the Hall of Houde. After a while, Zhang Wuzhu led a person into the hall.

A few of them looked at the person coldly, but Liu Chang was taken aback.

"strange??"

If you don't look carefully, you can't even see that the guy in front of him with a dark complexion and a thin body like a savage is actually Chai Wu's son Chai Qi.

"I received your letter last time, and you said you were going to go to Chang'an. How long has it been since you flew over?? How did you become like this? Why didn't you tell the local officials? Come, come ,sit down."

Liu Chang hurried forward, pulled Chaiqi to his side, and let him sit down.

"I have something important to tell Your Majesty. I don't dare to neglect, I set off day and night, and changed more than a dozen horses. The officials of the internal history are probably not as fast as me!"

Chai Qi said, looking carelessly at the Shiren around him.

"Everyone, please go back to rest first, and I will meet you tomorrow."

Everyone got up to leave, Chai Qi took out his token, and said displeased: "I said that you gave me the right to enter and leave the palace in person, but those people still refused to go in and report, saying that you are discussing something important, you have Among the men, he is young and very young, and his strength is quite strong.”

"I have nothing to do in poor mountains and bad waters, but I almost fell under your Zhonglang's fist"

Chai Qi pointed to his face, only then did Liu Chang notice that his face was slightly swollen, and it looked like he had been injured by someone. yours??"

"Yeah, Your Majesty has a middle-aged man with a strong back and a waist, a head taller than me, and his hands are extremely long, almost reaching the knees.

Although Chai Qi is not very brave, he is still a generalist, and these people who have played with Liu Chang to a large extent, even if they are always beaten by Liu Chang, they are all fierce generals on the battlefield, just like that Xiahouzao, In terms of personal martial arts, I am afraid that Zhou Bo is no longer his opponent.

Liu Chang didn't expect that there were still people in the middle man under his command who could injure Chai Qi.

However, none of this matters.

"How's your situation over there?"

Chai Qi served as Taiwei in the Dian Kingdom, and was mainly responsible for exploring in the south. In these years, he took the Southwest Man several times into the mountains and forests to inquire about the road to the body poison.The reason why it is certain that the body can be reached from the south is because of the captives brought by the wildlings who previously occupied there.

It is exactly the same as the Nanshen poisonous person described by the Daxia messenger.

Chai Qi said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the minister took the army to the body three times, the first two times were lost in the jungle, the casualties were heavy, and they almost didn't survive. There are beasts everywhere, and there are almost no The road, as soon as the road was cut, it disappeared after a while, which is really scary.”

"Until the third time, we used the savages as our guide, and we went all the way, and finally came to the foot of a mountain. There is a sea to the south of here. I saw the city, but I couldn't talk. These people were almost naked, and they didn't use crossbows. wood as a spear

"When I arrived there, there were only more than a hundred people around, not their opponents, and I rushed back, but I am sure that there is Nanshendu there. Although the city I saw was not very big, it was in After us, their soldiers rushed out, I looked at them, and they were probably over a thousand people."

"I also saw them play flags and blow horns. They should still have cities and reinforcements nearby."

Chai Qi said excitedly, and took out the map from his arms.

"Your Majesty, look, this is the route, but it's not standard. Fortunately, there are more than [-] of us, and we can still find the way. However, this mountain forest is really difficult to travel, unless it is arson and will block the way. The mountains and forests are burnt clean, but it is also very dangerous."

"I did this before and almost burned the army to death."

Listening to Chai Qi's remarks, Liu Chang couldn't help but have a little more respect for Chai Qi.

Although this fellow is not a virtuous person, it can be said that he and Liu Chang have similar tastes. The hobbies of the two are surprisingly consistent. They like hunting, bullying, wine and meat, and beauty. They are a match made in heaven. They even rebelled together in history. Liu Chang brought dozens of people, and Chai Qi boldly called out seven or eight retainers of his father.

To have such a son, General Chai Wu is probably the black smoke from his ancestral grave. The one who was trapped by this son lost his position before he was old, and almost lost his title.

But in the same way, Chai Qi also has Liu Chang's strengths. He is a brave man, and he is most eager to make achievements and kill enemies on the battlefield. According to the current words, he is full of adventurous spirit.

The jungles outside Yunnan, far from frightening him, aroused his boundless desire to conquer.

"The beauties there, hahaha, they are really unique, whether they are savages in the mountains or those who are poisonous."

"The meat there"

Soon, the topic was successfully deviated, jumping directly from the war to the beauty, wine and meat, but Liu Chang listened more energetically and was not sleepy at all.

"Talk more, talk more!"

The two vertical people sat here, laughing backwards and forwards.

"There are really a lot of beasts there. I've been hunting all the way. I can't do it without hunting. I killed six or seven of the tigers alone!"

Liu Chang frowned and asked, "Why is this warrior who killed the tiger still bruised and bruised by my Zhong Lang?"

"Cough cough, am I not prepared? Your Majesty, you are also, why are you recruiting everyone? I see that the princes and kings in those places recruit Zhonglang, all of them are good-looking, full of beauty, look at Your Majesty's Zhonglang, what is that? There are all of them, but none of them are human.”

"Everything is strange, does Your Majesty like this??"

"Hahaha~~~"

Liu Chang wasn't angry either, "It's more than just my middle-aged man, my sages, Shiren, and friends, which one is normal?"

The two drank some more wine and couldn't help but sing.

"You have made a great contribution this time. If you can travel from the south to the body, perhaps the transportation cost can be reduced. However, the road over there is so difficult, so you still have to find a way. Anyway, multiple roads are not a problem. Bad thing! Just wait for Fenghou!"

Chai Qi laughed, "Can your majesty make me a marquis now?"

"My grandfather has always despised me, thinking that I am not good enough. I just want to visit him as a captain and a marquis, and ask him if he is not good enough now!"

"Your past credit, Feng Chehou is not enough, but Guanneihou is enough, Feng!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

"However, your grandfather is in Beiting, assisting Liu Wei, and you can't see him either."

"If Your Majesty can give me a vacation for a while, let me meet my father and return to the Dian Kingdom."

Liu Chang was not so unfriendly, and he readily agreed to his request. He had been away from the temple for several years, and it was right for him to meet his relatives.

"By the way, just in time, I want to do something in the body, when you go to see your grandfather this time, take this letter of mine to Liu Qi, the king of the Western Court, remember, don't let anyone check it, only give it to Liu Qi read it alone, do you understand?"

"only!!"

Chai Qi just wanted to show off to his grandfather, his face was overjoyed, the two talked for a long time, and they were a little drunk from eating and drinking. Liu Changcai asked Lu Lu to send this guy out and returned to the hall. Liu Chang exhaled a sip of wine. Gas, suddenly remembered Chai Qi's words.

Liu Chang's Zhong Lang was selected from young people with military exploits from all over the world, as well as from the tigers of the powerful. Except for Zhang Yan's related households, the others were basically very capable. I can't remember how many Zhonglang I have, anyway, he doesn't have that hobby.

"Call in the Nakaro who is on duty today!"

"I want to see, who can hurt Chai Qi, who is the descendant!"

ps: The hospital has also finished reading it, and the old wolf should go back. The situation is not optimistic. A single injection of pure seven factors will cost more than 4000. The doctor said that the dosage will increase in the future, and it may cost hundreds of thousands a month. The content of this book Almost all the royalties were invested in the treatment.

However, I am also very lucky. This book is a success. If it fails, I would have been desperate at this moment. Anyway, as long as I still have a breath, I will not give up my child, work hard! !
