Father Han Gaozu

If Zhou Yafu remembers correctly, the first time he sneaked out and wanted to go to Tang to fight, he was almost tied up by His Majesty and sent back. After he threatened, His Majesty took him to Tang and arranged a fire-headed army .

But now His Majesty wants to say that he saw his extraordinary talent at the beginning, so he sharpened himself, Zhou Yafu had nothing to say that day, His Majesty was right.

"Your Majesty never takes the Huns seriously. Why is it so grand today?"

Sitting beside Liu Chang, Zhou Yafu asked curiously.

"Heh, you don't know that after you launched the attack, some old dogs in the temple wrote letters to me all day long, saying that I am militaristic, and that this battle will be defeated. I have sorted out the letters of these people. , after the teacher returns, I will personally hand it over to the teacher, and let him see the officials' evaluation of the battle!"

The faces of the ministers who followed Liu Chang changed drastically, and they hesitated to speak.

Zhou Yafu immediately understood that, logically speaking, with the great martial virtues of the Han Dynasty and the military merit system, there should be only a small number of people who opposed the war in the whole country. Foreign or foreign, there were countless wars, large and small, from the founding of the country to the subjugation of the country, and it lasted for more than two hundred years. As for the Eastern Han Dynasty, it can barely be regarded as half of the Han Dynasty.

The comparison of martial arts in the Eastern Han Dynasty is also very abundant in the future, but it is far less abundant than the Western Han Dynasty.

However, this abundance of martial arts has been destroyed by Liu Chang. Liu Chang's martial arts can't be regarded as abundant, it is simply overflowing. In the past few decades, the big man has continued to expand and fight. He has not ceased fighting for a year. He has fought for more than 20 years, and he is still fighting against the poisonous people.

That is to say, when I met Cao Shen, Wang Ling, Chen Ping, Zhou Chang and other capable ministers, they continued to help calm the situation in the country and provided enough food. At the same time, there were many fierce generals fighting without defeat. A capable minister, or without Han Xin and others to be the commander in chief, the big man would have been tossed and destroyed by Liu Chang long ago.

The scale and frequency of this war is outrageous, even the future Emperor Wu will not be so exaggerated.

The most mobilized soldiers during Liu Chang's period was during the period when he marched into the Xiongnu. A total of more than 100 soldiers were mobilized. Including those reserve forces and logistics personnel, the scale reached more than 20 million and 180. In these years, the total number of mobilized soldiers was [-]. Ten thousand, the logistics and people are strong, that is an astronomical figure, and the food consumed is an astronomical figure, almost using up all the accumulation of Emperor Gao over the past ten years.

Even, the income of the temple each year can only afford the war of that year.

If it weren't for Shang Fang's efforts, the treasury would have been emptied long ago.

Although the officials of the big man have martial arts virtues, they quickly transformed into traitors in the face of the emperor who was full of martial arts virtues. Even the most powerful hawks did not dare to call themselves eagles or pigeons in front of Liu Chang.

The ministers are afraid that Liu Chang will go farther and farther on this road. In the future, he will mobilize millions of soldiers to go on an expedition to get poisoned. Then the big man will perish, and he can't afford it at all!!
Frightened, the number of anti-war faction among the ministers surged. It can only be said that this is all thanks to His Majesty. His Majesty changed the position of the ministers by himself. We don’t want military merits. The big man has to stay!
There is nothing wrong with saying that the poor soldiers suppressed the military. There are soldiers in the Northern Army who have not returned home once in 12 years, which is the best proof.

Of course, when they came back again, they were already dead... Every time they gained military merit in a battle, the family would feel better.

Looking at His Majesty, who was proud of himself and looked like a villain, Zhou Yafu also had a wry smile on his resolute face, "Your Majesty, the ministers are also worried about the temple. However, the grain is as high as [-] million shi, which is the food income of the temple for two years...The ministers are terrified, and it is right, if the Taiwei hadn't killed Ji Porridge in time to end the war, the consumption would have been even greater..."

Liu Chang couldn't listen to the advice of the officials, but he was different to the sages.

Liu Chang dotes on Qunxian very much, except for Xia Houzao, he will listen carefully to anyone who has any ideas.

Speaking of which, Qunxians and Sheren are His Majesty's most trusted confidants.

Among the ministers, perhaps only they can influence Liu Chang's judgment
Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Yafu's words, Liu Chang became thoughtful, stroked his beard, and said softly: "What you said is also reasonable. If this is the case, then don't show it to the Taiwei. It's still a little too much."

The officials breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Zhou Yafu complicatedly.

How did this guy get into the group of sages in the first place?
No matter how you look at this person and style, he has nothing to do with His Majesty's group of sages.

Many people have already begun to think that he may be the mainstay of the future.

Liu Chang said again, "However, the current consumption is worth it. Have you already contacted the Kingslayer? Forget it, let's talk about it when we go back!"

When the Northern Army returned from victory, Liu Chang must reward him.

The first is to reward the soldiers. Liu Chang ordered Jibu to reward the army, and granted them a three-day celebration. At the same time, he set up a banquet in Houde Hall and asked all the officials to come to the banquet. Liu Changla came to sit beside him, and all the officials who saw this honor couldn't help being envious.

The banquet was still very sumptuous, it could be regarded as the most sumptuous in these years, with everything that one could expect, special products from all over the place were placed on top, Liu Chang and Zhou Yafu talked happily and chatted happily.

"The teacher didn't say when you'd be back?"

"The Taiwei said that he wanted to see what the Huns were doing. Ji Porridge had arranged a lot of things, but now Shan Yu, who is Ji Porridge's younger brother, didn't do what Ji Porridge ordered. They completely overthrew Ji Porridge. According to the entire policy, Hutu even killed a large number of Ji Porridge's cronies and confidantes, the Taiwei said, Hutu killed all the smart Huns."

"It turned out that Ji Porridge attracted many different resourceful people, including Han people, poisonous people, people from the Western Regions, and everyone else. Hutu drove them all away, and they were not allowed to hold official positions. At the same time, Ji Porridge was abolished. All the decrees at that time, and the army began to go to Daxia to plunder. Previously, Ji Porridge signed an agreement with Daxia, and the two sides ceased fighting. Daxia sent supplies to the Huns every year, and this agreement was also torn up..."

Liu Chang was dumbfounded.

"Everything is abolished?"

"That's right, the poisonous talents who defected to the Huns, including the generals, were dismissed and used directly as slaves..."

"Ji Porridge's achievements of more than 20 years were completely destroyed in less than a month...but the Huns were very happy. They called Hutu the sage Shanyu, thinking that he had brought the Huns back to the right track, and they gave up. In terms of local governance, they plundered all over the place, continuously squeezed the poisonous people in the country, and killed them wantonly. When I arrived in Beiting, I heard that there had been turmoil there, and the poisonous people began to attack the Huns..."

It has not been 30 years since the demise of the Maurya Dynasty, and the nobles who experienced the glory of the empire are still alive. These people are not so easy to submit to. Ji Porridge originally chose to cooperate with these nobles to squeeze the low-level pariah. The interests of these poisoned lords If there is no damage, I am naturally willing to accept it, but Hutu's method is to rob anyone who has money, and the untouchables and the gentlemen will rob together.

Naturally, the poisonous masters were unwilling to cooperate as before, causing endless turmoil.

Zhou Yafu seriously talked about the Huns, and all the officials quieted down and listened to him.

"If Ji Porridge could see this scene today, he would definitely jump up in anger. His decades of hard work are gone. The Huns voluntarily gave up the idea of ​​intercepting the big man, and directly discarded a large number of forts and checkpoints. It was completely thrown to us, they plundered everywhere, they are no longer the former close friends and offended all the poisonous countries..."

Liu Chang looked at Zhou Yafu suspiciously, and asked, "Since that's the case, what is the teacher doing in the Western Regions? The Huns are completely suicidal..."

Zhou Yafu laughed, "The Taiwei is just curious about what the new Shanyu can do. The whole body is in chaos because of him. The Taiwei also wants to formulate a new strategy based on the new changes..."

If it is said that Ji Porridge broke the upper limit of the Xiongnu's rule of the country, then Hutu broke the lower limit. Even Han Xin was amazed. This is not an easy task.

"No matter how hard you try, if a fool appears in the descendants, all previous efforts will be wasted..."

Liu Chang expressed his emotion.

Hu Hai is like this, and today's protective coating is also like this
Then, he glanced at Liu An inadvertently.

Liu An, who was talking with Jia Yi, felt the gaze of his old father, and felt that there was some malice hidden in his father's eyes.

Liu Chang and Zhou Yafu lamented the changes in the former enemy of the Xiongnu. Only then did Liu Chang ask about the poison, and the officials became quiet again. They were also very curious about that western country.

"How should I put it? It's a very strange place. Everything is completely different from the big man. There are many servants. The regicide claims to be the successor of the Peacock Kingdom, but no one recognizes him. He is looking forward to being canonized by the big man. , Lu Tazhi negotiated with them, and the regicide promised to become a vassal of the Han Dynasty, and he was willing to pay [-]% of the annual tax and send [-] vassals every year in order to seek the protection of the temple..."

"When he learned that we were going to hand over the corridor to him, he said that he would name this piece of land Han Ci Province, so as to remind himself not to forget the kindness of the Han Emperor. The country is building a mausoleum, and is willing to send 20 carts of grain, [-] carts of cotton, and [-] ministers..."

"How many???"

Liu Chang's hand trembled, and he almost spilled the wine in his hand.

Zhou Yafu repeated it seriously.

Liu Chang asked in disbelief, "Can they come up with [-] cars???"

"Your Majesty, they have their own chariot troops, more than 8000 chariots, and there are countless horse-drawn chariots in the country. The kingslayer dynasty is not as weak as we think. They are just not good at fighting, but their national strength is still very strong. Yes, they claim to have more than 200 million people, which is about the same as that of Yan State, but in fact, they did not count those ministers. Adding them, their population is definitely 500 million...more than that of Liang State..."

"Moreover, their territory is not small, and the cultivated land is very fertile. They are all ripe for more than a year. They are short of iron and ordnance, but they have no shortage of food. The most important thing is food. The price of their food is shockingly low. The capital of Luta is shocked. shocked…"

"They also have all kinds of spices and ingredients, and there are also many, many, which are simply unheard of..."

The officials are all at a loss at this moment, one has countless resources, no shortage of food, no shortage of manpower, but the military strength is very weak...
No, no, I can't think about it anymore, if I think about it any more, I'm going to turn into a meat pigeon...

At this moment, Liu Chang was also tapping on the case in front of him. He just wanted to open up a trade route with Shendu, but he didn't expect that after these people had settled everything, that kingslayer was still willing to submit. How much is 20% of that? And those servants, who can dispatch [-] servants at one time??
There was something wrong with Liu Chang's eyes.

Seeing that the ministers were a little over-excited at the moment, Zhou Yafu couldn't help but reminded: "However, the body poison is too far away from the big man, and the big man has no way to manage it directly. At the same time, if you want to send them on an expedition, the food consumption along the way , it will be the grain output of the Han Dynasty in four or five years, or even seven or eight years, and it is currently unfeasible to crusade against body poisoning..."

Zhou Yafu's words awakened these silent officials, and their eyes gradually became clear.

The same is true of Liu Chang, he exhaled, nodded his head and said, "Yes, yes, you must act according to the original order of the Taiwei, and you must not be in a hurry... Poisoning is a long-term goal, and now there is no way to conquer it. Taiwei's strategy, step by step, one day, body poison will become the granary of a big man!!!"

"Everyone, what do you think about the surrender of the Kingslayer?"

Although the name of this regicide is not pleasant, the officials don't care. In their eyes, these are barbarians, and regicide should be their normal operation. What Zhou Yafu said just now has already shaken them So, such a rich place, such a huge benefit, how can a big man give up?
Luan Bu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it is acceptable."

"However, there is one thing I don't understand."

"What's up?"

"Your Majesty's imperial mausoleum is in Hexi, what kind of mausoleum will be built in the West Court?"

Liu Chang cleared his throat. This is just a reason. It is a reason to help the Xiting Kingdom become stronger as soon as possible. His own Anling was built in Hexi. Today's Anling is the most developed city in the Northwest. If the country builds one, it may surpass its own Anling Town.

Liu Chang suddenly looked at Liu An again.

"Of course it's Prince Ann's tomb!"

"what???"

Liu An was stunned, I am not yet 16 years old!
Luan Bu was also a little surprised. He glanced at the prince, and then said: "Your Majesty, it stands to reason that the construction of the imperial tomb can only be started after he ascends the throne...the one who has never heard of the prince started to build the imperial mausoleum... this..."

"It doesn't matter, let's repair it first, anyway, it will be built sooner or later!"

"Your Majesty!! Xiting Kingdom is too far away from the temple, it's really impossible!"

Among the ministers, there are quite a few people who oppose it. At least in their eyes, the imperial tomb is a very serious matter, not a tool in Liu Chang's hands. Think about it, if the imperial tomb is in Xiting Kingdom, then What will happen to future generations who want to go to worship? The team that went to worship last year met the team that went to worship next year on the road??
Is this still worth it? If we continue to build like this, there is no guarantee that the imperial mausoleum will be repaired to the territory of Shendu!
Liu Chang didn't care, he just looked at Liu An and asked, "What do you think?"

Liu An didn't struggle, just bowed, "Wei!!!"

In this way, the matter was successfully negotiated, and the big man planned to build an imperial mausoleum in Xiting Kingdom, but the name has not yet been negotiated.

.........

“Fucking is just bullshit!!!“

Empress Lu had a straight face, her tone was very cold.

Liu Chang sat obediently in front of her, with his head bowed.

"Mum, this is all Lu Lu's plan, it has nothing to do with me!"

Lu Lu, who also knelt and sat in the back seat, widened his eyes and raised his head, "Your Majesty... I have never participated in the banquet..."

"Oh, that's Luan Bu's strategy!"

"How old is An, you have to build the imperial mausoleum for him? Do you hope that you will not die or that he will not die?"

Empress Lu reprimanded her angrily, even though she is old and has seen through many things, and no longer gives wine easily, but Liu Chang's stick can always break her defense in an instant, and he can do any outrageous behavior Empress Lu couldn't imagine how outrageous things this Li Zi could do if she was no longer around one day.

"Mother, this is also for the stability of the frontier. The northwest is the weakest and has the most enemies. The rest of the directions have been hit to the end, and there are no enemies... This is for the great man. My imperial tomb is also in Hexi..."

"Is Hexi and Xiting the same thing?"

Empress Lu took a deep breath, and she also knew in her heart that there was no way for her to change the matter that Zhu Zi had made up her mind to. She said with some worry: "No country can remain strong forever. If the big man weakens in the future, then here will be It is easy to be captured by the enemy, so I am worried..."

Liu Chang smiled, "Mother, the first emperor built his mausoleum in Guanzhong, but after the country perished, wouldn't it be dilapidated? If I hadn't repaired it and sent people to repair and sacrifice it, I'm afraid it would be the same as the wasteland... so It seems that it is the same wherever it is built. If the country declines, even if it is built in Chang'an City, it will fall into the hands of the enemy."

"Okay, okay, you're right, whatever you say is right!"

Empress Lu gave him a blank look, and asked again: "By the way, I just found me and said that you and Shu beat him up. Why is that? That child is so young, why do you always have trouble with him?!"

"I can't get along with him? It's that Zhuzi who can't get along with me. Nai... I have never been injured in all my life. This Zhezi beat birds with stones. I walked out of the banquet, drunk, and a stone hit me on the forehead. , Mother, look, this scorpion...I really am..."

Liu Chang gritted his teeth and said.

"By the way, mother, tell me, how about I seal this scorpion into poison?"

"no."

"We have to seal Huainan."
