Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 616
"I heard that there is a son bestowed, a filial son and a kind grandson, Huai Jin holds Yu, has both ability and political integrity, fruitful deeds cultivate virtue, virtue matches the world, Fu Yin Mingda."

As soon as the court meeting started, the impartial Lieutenant Wang Tianqi stood up and spoke up.

What he said was entirely his own thoughts, absolutely without anyone's instigation.

After saying these heartfelt words, Wang Tianqi played, "I also heard that the land beyond the Great Wall is actually the homeland of China. Most of the Xia people here do not know the holy law, do not talk about ethics, and do not rule by virtue. If the sacred learning is accepted, then It makes a wise man feel sad, now that there is a benevolent heart of the emperor outside the Great Wall, and he wants to win the love of his majesty, there is a man outside the Great Wall who said that he is a high-ranking man, and he wrote a letter saying: The Xiongnu, whose ancestors are also descendants of the Xiahou family, are called Chunwei, and those who are Chunwei are After Xia Jie, although Xia Jie was not benevolent, the one who started was Yu, who was a descendant of China's seedlings. In the past, the Xiongnu had faced with the Holy Son of Heaven, and after many years of reflection, they now want to belong to China and not join the barbarians."

"I beg your majesty to be magnanimous, to pardon the Xiongnu's past crimes and punishments, and to set up counties and counties to govern them. There are Liaobei County, Monan County, Mobei County, and Moxi County. The four counties will be established as the Xia Kingdom, and the son will be named king. Receive the people who lead the bow of the world."

Wang Tianqi was still talking unhurriedly, but the eyes of all the ministers looking at him changed a little.

What is this guy talking nonsense about?

Xia Guo? ?Son gift? ?Huns? ?

Are the three next to each other? ?

And your initial words, don't you feel any pain in your conscience?

Who is Gong Zici, we still don't know?That is His Majesty who is simply a trumpet, and his own moral cultivation is directly catching up with His Majesty. In this respect, it can be said that he is comparable to His Majesty.

But Liu Chang still showed some hesitation, and looked at the officials, "What do you think?"

Lu Jia quickly stood up and objected.

As the current leader of the ministers, he has a very important mission in the temple, which is to oppose His Majesty, in fact, to seek benefits from His Majesty for the ministers, so that His Majesty will not be able to do everything too smoothly. It's a pity that the ministers didn't know that the leader of the ministers on the surface often exchanged opinions with His Majesty in secret, and was very good at listening to His Majesty's suggestions. Good class, the Xiongnu plundered my big man many times, if they want to establish a country outside the Great Wall, wouldn’t they raise tigers and cause trouble? These people surrender for the time being, but if something happens, they will not speak morally!"

"They don't know what etiquette is, and they don't know shame. They are greedy and cunning, cruel and vicious. They are like villains. Don't trust them easily, let alone regard them as the people of the big man."

Lu Jia spoke eloquently and scolded for a long time without stopping.

Liu Chang's eyes lit up, and he looked at another minister calmly, "Servant, what do you think?"

The servant pursed his lips, didn't speak, but just looked at Lu Jia directly.

Lu Jia was taken aback, and hurriedly explained: "My servant, don't misunderstand that I didn't mean me."

The scene suddenly became a little awkward.

The eunuch's contacts in the imperial court are still good, and Lu Jia is also a good friend with him.

Liu Chang continued to provoke the flames in his superior position, "Private servant, you are a leading man who grew up outside the Great Wall! What do you think of what Lu Gong said?"

Your Majesty likes watching old men fight the most.

"Your Majesty, it's too remote outside the Great Wall, and there's no place to farm. It would be a bit of a stretch if you entrust the young master to such a remote land."

Liu Chang waved his hand and said: "Henan, Shuofang, Yunzhong and other counties, because they are well governed and have developed agriculture and mulberry, most people call these places Xinguanzhong. They were also barren lands in the population at first. How do you know that? Will these lands now become the third Guanzhong land in the future?"

Another minister got up and said: "Your Majesty, Shendu already has a Xia Kingdom. If it is re-appointed, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to call it and it will be easy to confuse."

"It's easy, convey my order and let them change their name! If they don't change their name, their country will be destroyed!"

Lu Jia hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's not that they call themselves Xia, but we change the name of them, so there's no need to attack them."

As a result, the officials couldn't find any reason to object. This matter seemed to have little to do with the interests of the officials. In the end, the emperor fulfilled his wish. For the four counties, Liaobei County was set up on the prairie outside the northern part of Yan Kingdom, and Monan County was set up on the prairie outside Yunzhong. Moxi County
In terms of the size of the territory alone, the scale of this vassal state is already the largest in the world. It is somewhat comparable to the actual control area of ​​the Dahan temple. The most terrifying thing is that they have no clear boundaries. If they have power, Mobei can go all the way Going up, all the places you pass are Mobei County, and so is Moxi. You can go all the way west, and all the places you pass are Moxi County, but the officials have no fear of this new vassal state.

It doesn't mean that a large territory is powerful.

Just like Liang Guo and Yan Guo, the current size of Yan Guo can probably be compared with ten Liang Guo, but in terms of national strength, Liang Guo can beat Yan Guo violently.

The vassal states with a large territory in the Han Dynasty include the Three Kingdoms in the west. Among them, the Xiting Kingdom has the largest territory, with Yan in the north and Wu in the south. The most powerful country here is Wu, and other countries are not enough. Wu has many enclaves , They occupied a large amount of land on the South Vietnam Peninsula, using the port to control, directly blocked the progress of the South Vietnam country, and had a large population.

But in this country of Xia now, the population. Even if Liu Ci gathers all the tribes together, it is probably less than a million people.

What's the use of a big territory?There are less than a few thousand people in each county, so what can it do?

The ministers then discussed another major event, that is, the poisonous dispute between the two countries.

Peacock and Baicheng are ready to go to war. Both countries are frantically asking for help from the big man. They all hope that the big man can come forward to speak for them. The opinions of the ministers are different. Some people think that the big man should not interfere with these barbarians. However, some people think that the big Han should treat them in the same way as the princes and kings. It is not good for the big Han to allow the two princes to fight, and the impact is too bad. Some people think that they should send someone to persuade them to make peace.

In fact, Liu Chang also values ​​this income. When they fight, the income of the big man will definitely decrease, and the tribute and trade will be affected, but the teacher's thinking is different from his. What the teacher cares about is not a stable income. He hopes more To win the entire body, he hoped that these small countries would fight more and be at odds with each other, and hope that their national strength would not be improved too much because of the big man. None of the officials proposed to actively let them go to war.

Probably because the ministers dare not think about taking down the body poison, a region thousands of miles away from the big man, and has a population of nearly ten million, want to take it down? ?This really requires some guts.

This is probably nothing in Han Xin's eyes. In his eyes, body poison has always been the best fat. As long as he can win here, the big man will hardly have to worry about anything. Sufficient manpower and financial resources can even make him The big man has built roads and canals all over the country. Anyway, he does not use his own people, and it does not affect his own farming. Before the last poisoned person bleeds, the big man will never stop corvee.

Liu Chang had no choice but to remind himself that he should not be blinded by the current income, and he should not be intoxicated in the gentle village, and should focus on the maximum income.

However, if the big man allows them to fight, it may reduce the prestige of the big man's poison. To do such a thing, a top-level conspirator is actually needed.

It's a pity that the top conspirator has gone to have a drink with his old friend.

Probably in a magnificent palace, sitting behind Emperor Gao, listening to Emperor Gao boasting loudly, with a stern face in pain, enduring the futile boasting.

It's a pity, if Marquis Chen is still there, the poisonous countries will probably make each other lose.

Because the Taiwei did not come to participate in the court discussion, there is no good plan for this matter, but their ideas will eventually be presented to the Taiwei for his reference.

After sealing the king, there is another more difficult thing to solve.

That is the question of the Prime Minister.

Now that Liu Ci is still young, it is impossible to seal the country directly, and when he was not in the country, he had to arrange for a powerful prime minister to govern the place for him.

The opinions of the ministers are very unified, and they all hope that Mr. Chao can go.

Of course, Liu Chang will definitely not throw Chao Cuo there, even if he wants to throw it, he can't throw it now.

In fact, there is no good candidate for Liu Chang here. Although it is only a remote and weak country, it is also a serious Han Dynasty. Capable. Cannot be lacking in all aspects, and such talents have long been employed in various places, and there is no spare time.

"Your Majesty, if you really can't find a candidate, let me do it!"

"I am willing to go to that remote place to suffer for His Majesty!"

Lu Lu patted his chest.

With Lu Lu's current life, he really doesn't need to pursue any chancellor, Liu Chang glanced at him, "I'd rather have this position vacant."

"It's really not possible. Why don't your majesty just choose one of the younger students? Isn't there a lot of people in Taixue?"

"Young descendants don't care about being the Prime Minister of the Xia Kingdom... Oh, by the way, when I mentioned the Xia Kingdom, I suddenly remembered, Xia Wuqie, has he come back?"

"It is said that he has received a lot of disciples, teaching without discrimination, imparting knowledge for free, and leading them to grow herbs. At other times, he enlightens local children and treats poor people for free. He has a great reputation in the Central Plains and is known as Holy, even the king of Liang sent someone to give him a luxurious carriage to show his respect to him. Langya king Liu Xingju sent people to invite him twice to give lectures at his side."

Liu Chang's face was full of disdain, and he scolded: "This fellow can put on a show, this is to find a talisman for himself!"

"He has taught many disciples during these days, and even took out all his medical books, and let people copy them to watch Liang Guo's medical halls are full of his disciples."

Liu Chang's complexion immediately improved a lot, "If he can do something practical, that's not bad. It's just a matter of deceit. Since he has done a lot of things over there, I can't treat him badly. Go and order, Sheng He has a first-class title as a commendation."

Lu Lu responded hastily.

"Although he has done a lot of things, I am a person who is rewarded and punished. You still have to watch him and see when he will come back. That's right!! I thought of it!!"

Liu Chang grabbed Lu Lu's hand suddenly, and shouted, "Fu Qing, Marquis of Yangling, can be the Minister of State!"

Lu Lu was stunned.

"Your Majesty. Although Fu Qing once offended us and let us fight, but it's been decades. He has reformed himself and has a reputation of being a wise man. Lu Gong once said that he can succeed him as the leader of Jiuqing in the future." First, isn't it a bit too much for you to send him to Xia Guo after treating him all these years???"

Lu Lu couldn't stand it anymore, His Majesty was too narrow-minded.

Fu Qing, Marquis of Yangling, was Fu Kuan's son. When they were young, they had a fling with Liu Chang. Lu Tazhi's first appointment as court lieutenant was because he beat him up.

But that was a long time ago. After he grew up, His Majesty cared for him very much, and let him do all the dirty work. If he made a small mistake, he would have to start all over again. His title fluctuated. , The footprints are all over the remote corners of the Han Dynasty. It can be said that he has drilled through the rainforest in Nanyue Kingdom, climbed snow-capped mountains in Yan Kingdom, herded sheep in Tang Kingdom, went deep into the desert in Beiting Kingdom, and eaten mushrooms in Dian Kingdom. Experience has proved what it means that jade cannot be cut or made into a weapon. Under such care, he miraculously sneaked into the temple and became a subordinate official of Jiuqing, Qianshi.

Lu Lu didn't like Fu Qing very much in the past, but it's been so long, and it's really a little bit to target him like this.
Liu Chang said solemnly: "I'm not punishing him. Xia Guo is a desolate and barren land in your opinion, but in my opinion, it is a place with great potential. Fu Qing is a tenacious man who has experienced many failures. If you go there alone, you are guaranteed to be overwhelmed, but Fu Qing will not. He is definitely the safest candidate!"

Lu Lu still looked at the emperor suspiciously. Is this your personal grievance mixed with some official business?
Liu Chang waved his hand, "Send someone to call Fu Qing."

Soon, Fu Qing appeared in the Hall of Houde. At this moment, he looked more and more like his father, calm and mature. Looking at it made people feel inexplicably convincing, and felt that this person was very With a reliable appearance, it's no wonder that Lu Gong has such a high opinion of him.

Fu Qing paid homage to the emperor, and then to Lu Lu, who hurriedly returned the gift.

Liu Chang signaled Fu Qing to sit down, and then asked: "Xia Kingdom is newly established and needs a Prime Minister. I want you to go, what do you think?"

Fu Qing was not as shocked or angry as Lu Lu expected, he was extremely calm from the beginning to the end.

"I have never governed a place by myself. I only do things for others. I am afraid that my Majesty's important affairs will be ruined."

"There will be a first time for everything. I will ask you if you want to go? I will never force you. If you don't want to, you can retire and return to your hometown to enjoy your old age. I will not force you!"

Fu Qing saluted again.

"I am willing to go!"

"Your brother is in Changsha, right?"

"Yes."

"Let him go back to Chang'an, your mother is getting old, let him take care of your mother instead of you. How is your mother now?"

"Your Majesty, she is very good. She often says that she wants to invite you to the mansion, and thank you for your kindness in person. Your great kindness, I will never forget it."

Seeing Fu Qing's excited appearance, Lu Lu was taken aback, why did he feel that there were still some things between them that he didn't know? ?

But Liu Chang asked him to stand up displeased, "I didn't mean to be kind to you, I just looked at your father's face, how could the great man who founded the country not fall to that kind of situation? Go back and talk to your mother Get along more and serve her well"

"only!!!"

After Fu Qing left, Lu Lu looked at Liu Chang with a strange look.

"Your Majesty, have you ever helped him???"

Liu Chang hurriedly quibbled: "It's just for his father's face to help, it's all the empress and queen dowager's intention."

Lu Lu laughed, "I didn't expect His Majesty to have such a benevolent side. No wonder you dare to let him be the Prime Minister, because Your Majesty has already regarded him as a confidant?"

"Fart! It's not that you people are useless!"

"The widow has always been benevolent, and what he said is that every kindness must be repaid. Brother, you have been very good to me on weekdays. Follow me to the country. I will make you the country's prime minister!"

Liu Ci said proudly.

Dong Zhongshu thought to himself, are you repaying your kindness?You're clearly repaying virtue with grievances.
Hu Wusheng was silent for a long time for this little junior who regarded himself as a king and wandered around with his soldiers before the ceremony was held. He looked at Liu Ci with some unbearable heart, "Ci, it's hard for you too."

Liu Ci was about to blow something, but at that moment, he seemed to awaken something in his bones.

His face quickly became lonely.

"Senior Brother, this country of Xia is remote and poor. The people don't have enough to live on, they don't have enough to eat, and they don't have enough clothes to cover their bodies. I'm still young, so I don't know how to govern the country. What can I do?"

Hu Wu followed his tricks when he was still alive, and he frowned when he heard his words.

"You don't have to worry that I will find a way. My Ram School is small and weak, so I can't help you much, but I will do my best!"

Liu Ci was overjoyed.

"By the way, my father has already ordered that the teacher's service location has been changed, and it has been changed to my country of Xia!"

Hu Wusheng was also very happy when he heard that, "That's great, as long as you don't suffer."

"Brother, if someone comes to trouble you and argue with you in the future, you must remember to call me, I will tie them all up and please go to my country of Xia!"

"Now, I have to find a way to contact Zhongfus from all over the world. My father told me to have a good relationship with them. He also specifically told me that as long as I write to them, I will start by saying that Zhongfu is fine. Unexpected surprises”

While Liu Ci was chattering and bragging to everyone, there was an uproar in Houde Hall.

Yong'e's eyes were red, and she sat in front of Liu Chang, holding Liang in her arms, and turned away from looking at Liu Chang.

Liu Ci is very happy, he is going to show his talents in the place he dreamed of.

But Yong'e is different, why should my son be sealed outside the Great Wall?

In fact, Liu Chang felt that he owed Liu Ci a little.

Standing awkwardly in front of Yong'e, speechless.

"E, don't blame Your Majesty for this matter."

At the critical moment, the only reliable mother Cao came in from outside the hall.

ps: I always stay up late these two days, and the update time is a bit late because I don’t have enough energy. Don’t blame everyone, hurry up and write Chapter 2!
