Father Han Gaozu

The sea breeze was blowing on everyone's faces.

Zhou Shengzhi didn't feel irritable or depressed this time, because finally this time he was no longer the leader.

Liu Chang stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the endless ocean in the distance, he lifted his chin triumphantly.

Because the emperor was traveling with him, the morale of the entire building and boat army was very high. They no longer dared to be negligent, let alone complain, and showed their best side in front of the emperor. A large-scale reward was carried out, and the titles of all the soldiers who participated in the voyage were promoted. After they returned to the Han Dynasty, there will be a second reward, rewarding land, money and so on.

It keeps them motivated.

Finally, they ate the pie that Zhou Shengzhi had drawn for them.

Zhou Shengzhi stood beside Liu Chang, his face full of confusion.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand. Why are you in such a hurry to go back since you haven't finished the matter of being poisoned?"

Liu Dayi said sternly: "I am the Son of Heaven, how can I stay away forever? What should I do if there is any trouble in the country? Since I have put down the thieves here, of course I have to go back quickly!"

Zhou Shengzhi asked hesitantly: "Is it because of the difficulty in dealing with the poison?"

But when they approached the coast of Funan Kingdom, they could see smoke soaring into the sky from a distance, and could vaguely hear the sound of killing.

"You are finally here, you haven't been here for many years"

Now, he could finally complain about life at sea to his heart's content.

There was a hint of surprise in Zhao Tuo's eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I just need to propose a general direction. Of course, other things can be handed over to the ministers, so I don't need to stay with them. I can follow you back. We will look at the route together on the way, and I have to look at it too. Looking at the strength of the countries along the road, I haven’t visited the countries in the south for a long time, just right.”

"Zhou Yafu said to ignore them, Lu Tazhi said to set up counties, the Taiwei said to send cruel officials to clean up the nobles, A Lie said that castes should be abolished, and the people at the bottom should be recruited to deal with the local dignitaries."

The longer Liu Chang was in power, the more fortunate Zhao Tuo was that he surrendered quickly.

It won't be that one day I will leave by myself, these three people will still be the same, right? ?
Zhao Shi excitedly stood beside Zhao Tuo, saw Liu Chang in the distance, waved his hands excitedly, his face was flushed, and he was extremely happy.

"His Majesty."

"Yes, I have been at sea since I was a child. My favorite thing in my life is to explore overseas. If Your Majesty can give me a ship, I am willing to explore the surrounding areas for Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Liu Chang grinned.

Zhao Shi covered his head and hurried out of the way. Zhao Tuo looked at his son angrily.

"They are actually wrong. They regard the body poison as a whole. The body poison is just a concept left by the Mauryan Empire. In fact, it is wrong to treat them as a whole. The cultures and customs of different places are different. They should We have to watch it separately."

Having not seen each other for so many years, Zhao Tuo looked gray-haired, and the trembling Liu Chang looked at his haggard appearance, without any waves in his heart, and spit towards the sea.

Zhou Shengzhi suddenly realized.

"Actually, there is nothing to see in the sea. I am already tired of this sea route. Your Majesty will not let me be responsible for the navigation between the two places in the future."

Liu Changdu doubted whether the elixir was stolen by this boy and the teacher when the alchemist made alchemy for the first emperor.

"Susheng, you seem to like going out to sea?"

Zhao Shi was startled, and was about to say something, but Zhao Tuo hurriedly stopped him.

Zhou Shengzhi shook his head, "Your Majesty, if you can't do it yourself, you just run away, isn't that not good?"

Zhou Shengzhi asked curiously: "Then which policy did His Majesty choose in the end?"

All four of them had different supporters, among them, Taiwei had the most say, which made His Majesty unable to determine which method to adopt for a while.

But Liu Chang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "It's good that you have this kind of courage, but ah, people can't just have courage, if you really dare to go out to explore the far sea, it's okay, you first explore the surroundings of South Vietnam for me , to prove that I have the strength to lead alone, and when the time comes, I will send you to explore the far sea."

Liu Chang really doesn't care about these things, he only values ​​whether the person in front of him is capable and can be used by him.

Perhaps Du Shi realized that this was an opportunity for him, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to fight for it.

The miasma in South Vietnam didn't even kill the old man, but I was almost killed by you bastard!
Zhao Tuo then looked at Liu Chang, his eyes gradually softened.

By the way, there is also that old dog Xia Wuqie, that old dog must have eaten it too!

But Liu Chang knew his fourth brother very well. The fourth brother would definitely not do such a thing, forcefully hold down the order, and then issue it after he took action. Only Ruyi could come up with such a ghost idea, and the fourth brother would not do this.

"Your Majesty is right, it should be governed by His Majesty."

Zhou Shengzhi couldn't help applauding, the Taiwei is not here, His Majesty is really tough!

I still remember when Liu Chang was young, there were rumors in the temple that Zhao Tuo was old and dying, he was dying of illness and would die soon, so there was no need to worry.

"As for other areas, there are many small countries here, there is no danger to the big man, the country is peaceful, and there are no hidden dangers, so you can adopt Zhou Yafu's idea and ignore it."

"Tu? A good brother of mine is also surnamed Tu."

"Only Xiahou Zao will make a choice, of course I want them all!"

Zhao Shi really missed Liu Chang, held his hand tightly, and was about to sigh with emotion when a wooden stick hit the back of his head.

"How can this be called running away?"

This is not surprising, he did not hide his tracks in the first place, sailing along the coast, these people must have known what he was going to come for a long time.

After staying on the ship for half a month, he knew almost everyone on the ship, everyone he knew, and he was even very close.

Tu Shi also saw the war on the Funan Peninsula (Indo-China Peninsula), but he didn't care. They didn't have any national consciousness at all. The object is only the monarch.

"Set up two counties here, directly under the jurisdiction of the big man, station troops here, and use Baicheng to supervise the countries in Shendu, which can be regarded as inserting a nail in Shendu."

With Liu Chang around, even this boring voyage has become more interesting. Liu Chang is a very talkative person. He can even chat with a sailor soldier who is in charge of pedaling for more than half an hour. Try his errand.

He doesn't look tired at all, looking around energetically, he seems to enjoy his sailing.

"what??"

He is not only alive, he is even ruling the country, competing with King Wu!

Liu Chang also asked about his physical condition respectfully.

It's really hard to say which of the two has a higher status.

Liu Chang smiled, and said: "Besides, we have actually agreed on the next governance plan."

"Are you all right?"

"In the southwestern region of the body, the conflicts among the people are very sharp. The monks of Futu often criticize the caste, and the people at the bottom begin to believe in the Buddha, while the high-level people are still Brahmins, so there are often rebellions and the people here are brave. Ariel was born here, so I It is decided to abolish the caste system here, and to win over the bottom here to restrict the top."

Is it like this again? ?
That's what you were like 20 years ago! ! !

Liu Chang glanced at Zhou Shengzhi, "Why, could it be that Funan took the initiative to attack Wu? Two-thirds of your air route revolves around Funan. Fourth Brother knows this, so he will definitely not leave Funan again. I’m afraid it will become the Funan Province of the Wu Kingdom, but I can’t give it to the Wu Kingdom, it will become the Funan County of the Han Dynasty, and it will be directly managed by the temple.”

In the future, when I go back, I can brag to the left and right, and I don't have to worry about embroidered clothes coming to trouble me.

Zhao Tuo has always regarded Liu Chang as his grandson. Although Liu Chang never admitted this, the two must be of the same family, but whether they are biological grandsons is hard to say.

Of course Zhou Shengzhi knew about this, because there were four different theories about the follow-up arrangements for the poisoning.

Liu Chang shook his head, "You said it would be great if you had half the brains of Yafu. Think about it, the whole south is Nanyue and Wu. The important thing is that it is the key point of the entire route. Nanyue and Wu will definitely snatch it. No matter which side it is given to, it will cause a lot of conflicts, and may even deliberately embarrass the other party's merchant ships. So I want to take this place directly back into the hands of the temple. If it is governed by the temple, it can solve many hidden dangers, and with a third party watching, it can also ensure the relationship between the two countries."

Having received His Majesty's promise, Zhou Shengzhi's mood finally improved a lot.

He told Liu Chang seriously about the various situations he encountered during his trip to sea, and introduced the noble guide from Funan Kingdom to Liu Chang.

Liu Chang knew the pain and fatigue of this kind of pioneer explorer, even if Zhou Shengzhi didn't say anything, he was going to let Shengzhi rest for a year before setting off.

The soldiers never thought that one day they would be so familiar with His Majesty.

"Wu Guo attacked Funan?"

They grew up together and always said what they had.

When Liu Chang got off the boat, Zhao Shi directly passed the old man, walked like flying, and walked quickly in the direction of Liu Chang. Zhao Tuo was almost knocked over by him. He quickly rushed to Liu Chang and gave him a hand. a hug.

Zhao Tuo also lowered his voice, but it was no longer a weak and trembling voice, "I have my own difficulties, I have to be old."

Zhou Shengzhi's face changed drastically, but Liu Chang was very calm.

Liu Chang spoke seriously, but Zhou Shengzhi was dumbfounded.

Zhou Shengzhi was full of helplessness, "It's okay to explore, but let me rest for a year."

"My purpose is to calm down the poisonous body, so that the poisonous people will not dare to disobey the big man. I have achieved my goal. As for the follow-up arrangements, it is natural for the ministers to figure out a way. If everything is in order If you want me to handle it, what do you want them to do? They might as well go home and raise pigs and dogs!"

"Like the Peacock Kingdom, their national power is the strongest, and the domestic dignitaries have always been ambitious. If they want to recover the territory of the Peacock Empire, it may become a hidden danger. Therefore, in the Peacock Kingdom, I will adopt the method of the Taiwei and send cruel officials to assist The Peacock King ruled the country, cleaned up those ambitious nobles in their country, suppressed their own strength, and used strong methods to stabilize the local area and become the permanent vassal of the Han. Baicheng has been defeated, and the country has almost no combat power. The nobles suffered heavy casualties , the country is depressed, and their geographical location is very good, just on the coast. So in Baicheng, I decided to adopt Lu Tazhi's argument."

Liu Chang has already ruled the big man into an appearance he could not even imagine. If he had chosen to continue to resist, the entire Zhao clan would be ashamed now.

Liu Chang couldn't help but feel complacent, or he is more capable, completely suppressing Master!

The corner of Liu Chang's mouth twitched, he moved slightly closer to him, and lowered his voice, "You don't have to do this in front of me, do you?"

It's just that in front of the Great Han Emperor, this person seemed a little restrained.

"Chen Tu Shi greets His Majesty!"

The person who came to greet him was not the king of Wu, but Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue.

"Taught!!"

Zhou Yafu is the general of chariots and cavalry, and he is the commander-in-chief of the national mobile forces. And Zhou Shengzhi is not weak, the general of the building and the boat is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Han Navy.

Liu Chang looked at him curiously, he was the complete opposite of Zhou Shengzhi.

Under Zhao Tuo's leadership, Liu Chang walked towards Jiaozhi County. On the way, Zhao Tuo hadn't spoken yet, but Zhao Shi began to express his dissatisfaction, "The order you issued was held down by Wu Guo. He wanted to rebel. He deliberately delayed for a few days before telling us that we could crusade against Funan. By the time we prepared the army, his Wu army had already captured the royal city of Funan. Your Majesty, you shouldn't let him be in charge of the south. , This guy is bullying others. How can he do this? Wu Guo eats meat, and Nanyue also has to drink soup, he even ate the pot!"

I also believe that I have the ability to overwhelm everyone.

"That's right. Everyone has different ideas, and what everyone says is very reasonable. If I finish all the things in the body and go back, I'm afraid that An will become a big father. I can't wait, I There are still a lot of things to do, so I have to trouble the Taiwei a little bit, Feng Jing and A Lie, Yafu returned from Xiting with the elite, and the army of Xiting Kingdom entered the Peacock Kingdom."

Liu Chang's aura immediately weakened by three points.

"Fourth brother is so fast?"

However, now he can feel at ease, His Majesty doesn't care about these things, the generals he recovered this time are all poisonous people.

The truth is probably that the state of Wu had already made preparations. It was one step ahead of Nanyue. But he still frowned, and said displeasedly: "The two great Han vassal states would actually have a dispute over a small Funan Kingdom? This is not taking me seriously! Is Funan Kingdom so important? If so It's important, then none of you should take it, I'll take it!"

Zhou Shengzhi's words were somewhat rebellious, and he was bargaining with the emperor's edict. If it was another emperor, something big would happen, but Liu Chang didn't care about it at all.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

Repression is repression, and it is difficult to say who suppresses who.

Liu Chang laughed, "You may not have this opportunity if you want it. Let me tell you, with the abundance of Shendu supplies, when merchants learn that there is a road that takes a few months to reach Shendu, they can bring back When there is a large amount of supplies, this route will be full. The number of ships along the route is difficult to count. At that time, you can send ships to protect their safety and clean up the bandits along the route. You don’t need to sail here many times. , the body poison is just a springboard, if you continue to walk west along the bank, how many things can you get?"

Zhou Shengzhi saluted Liu Chang sincerely. After so many years of not seeing each other, His Majesty finally became more reliable.

Why did Father arrest Master?Isn't it because his ability is not as good as my father's, and his age is much younger than me, so I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress it?

In the past, he was also jealous of this younger brother who overwhelmed him in everything, but now that he is older, he can see it away. Yafu has his own strengths, and he has the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Besides, in terms of status alone, I may not be weaker than Yafu.

"What's your name?"

He believes that he can convince anyone to use him.

Only a king with insufficient strength would be afraid that he would not be able to frighten his ministers, such as Father.

"Actually, I don't have a surname."

Although the navy of the Han Dynasty is not as good as the army of chariots and cavalry, in the future, the Han Dynasty will vigorously develop the navy and strengthen overseas exploration, which cannot be bypassed by Zhou Shengzhi.

Zhao Tuo squinted his eyes and did not speak.

He wasn't angry either. In terms of ability, there was indeed a gap between him and his younger brother.

Zhao Tuo said worriedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. It's just that I'm old and weak. I'm afraid I will die soon."

Liu Chang continued: "This is also beneficial to divide the body and poison, divide them into four different forces, and reduce the possibility of them uniting to resist in the future. There is no best policy, only the most suitable system. The implementation of all systems depends on the situation, and if it does not fit the situation, it may cause big problems. This is true of the best system."

"It is for the convenience of having a place to exile the ministers of the DPRK and China."

Zhou Shengzhi looked at the ocean in the distance and let out a long sigh.

How many years have passed. Those who said that Zhao Tuo was old have passed away, and Zhao Tuo is still alive.

"Ah? Why is this?"

At first, Tu Shi was a little worried that he would not be reused because of his background. After all, the generals in the Han Dynasty didn't seem to like people who were not born in the Han Dynasty. When I hit myself, I turned a blind eye to myself.

When Liu Chang bypassed the Funan Peninsula and landed on the other side, there were already people waiting for him here.

What Zhao Tuo was worried about was that Wu State occupied the peninsula. In the future, the merchant ships of South Vietnam would have to pay taxes to each other, and they would be at a disadvantage in the trade between the two sides. The competitiveness of going out to sail would be lower than that of Wu State. But now His Majesty wants to The temple will be withdrawn here, and the temple will definitely not favor any side. This is beneficial to the South Vietnamese country, and their homeland is closer to Shendu.

Just when he was about to speak, thick smoke was billowing in the distance, and a group of people was coming here.

And Zhao Tuo saw their flag

"Wu."
