Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 651 What about Naigong's Chang'an? ?
Liu Heng is no longer the appearance of a refined scholar.

His long beard made him look extremely majestic, resolute, and firm in his eyes. Even Zhao Shi, who was still complaining about his behavior just now, didn't dare to look at him, and moved unnaturally under his gaze. When I opened my eyes, he didn't look as thin as in the past, but his figure was broad and dignified.

After seeing Liu Chang, his eyes softened a lot.

"His Majesty."

"Fourth Brother!!!"

Liu Chang happily walked to Liu Heng's side and held his hand. Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his heart.

Liu Heng frowned, "Your Majesty wanted to conquest the poison himself, and the minister wrote a letter against it. I don't want your Majesty to risk your life, but now your Majesty is returning by sea. The danger of the sea route is several times higher than that of the land route. Could it be that your majesty is really like this?" Do you despise the world? The world cannot last forever!"

Faced with his brother's reprimand, Liu Chang was not afraid, but just patted his chest.

"I have a destiny, why fear it?"

"This crusade against Shendu was a great success. I fought all the way to Bute country, and even the Daxia army was defeated by me. I didn't dare to resist anymore!"

Jiaozhi is an important port city in South Vietnam today, and it is also the bridgehead for their expansion to the south. Zhao Tuo has spent a lot of effort to manage this place in these years. Although the land route is quite inconvenient, the increasingly developed sea trade has made There has been improvement here. Of course, the county seat is not as good as the Central Plains area, but at least it has the appearance of a Dahan county seat, with everything that one expects to find.

They did not take the road of Tongguan, but Wuguan.

At this moment, the eyes of the entire south are on those islands, and the ocean has obviously become a new battlefield for the princes and kings in the south.

Only Zhao Shi asked: "The bow of my Nanyue ship is pointed, how to tie it?"

There are thorns in Zhao Tuo's words.

Liu An said halfway, but found that he didn't even believe what he said, so he changed his tone again, "Father will not make things difficult for you, the medical office is the most important thing, and Father is also very concerned about this matter, he Knowing that you are handling this matter, I will definitely not embarrass you. Besides, there is my father here. If you want to ask a crime, I will also excuse you. You can’t hide from your father all your life, right?? Could it be that you will Are you not going back to Chang'an?"

"Why did he come back from the south?"

Liu Heng shook his head lightly. Liu Chang's style of doing things is completely opposite to his. Liu Heng always speaks a word of stability in everything he does. Unless he breaks his defenses, he will always be as stable as an old dog. The first thing he thinks about is the consequences of failure, but Liu Chang is different. He does not do things safely. While there are huge benefits, they are often accompanied by huge dangers.Liu Heng didn't agree with Liu Chang's style, but he couldn't persuade him to change.

This time I can't run anymore, I can only hope that His Majesty will let me go because I am busy with business.

"Father Zhong!!!"

Among the Liu Changzhu brothers, Liu You is the most likely to be missed and ignored. This has something to do with his personality. Liu You's personality is not like Liu Ying and Liu Bo, he is more like Liu Liang, taciturn, and a bit autistic at the same time. He doesn't like to deal with others. Of course, he is very happy to see Liu Chang. Liu You is the smallest of many brothers. He has been like this since he was a child. He is thin and short, and he can't be found in a crowd. Standing in front of Liu Chang, he looked even smaller, and he couldn't even reach Liu Chang's shoulders.

Of course the leader is Liu An, Liu Bo, Liu Ci, Liu Liang and others standing by his side.

Liu Chang laughed, stretched out his hand, and grabbed a person with one hand, "The king of Nanyue is rich in experience, familiar with the place, and is deeply respected by the local people. King Wu has extraordinary talents, good strategies and good governance, making the place prosperous and the people rich. There are two sitting in the town, what else can I worry about?"

Liu Heng was the first prince to discover the benefits of sea trade, and he was also the first to send a fleet to explore. The princes and kings who have only begun to react now are several steps behind him. The quality of the ships alone, The two sides are not at the same level. Wu Guo did not hide his own design drawings. Instead, he generously gave them to various princes and encouraged them to go to sea together. Liu Heng wanted to build a prosperous maritime trade circle. He hoped that there would be more The princes can participate, but no matter how good the design is, the craftsmen are not good enough, and the quality of the ships is still not very good, and the best craftsmen in the south are all in Wu, and others can't dig it.
Liu Chang left here contentedly. It seems that there is no need to spend much thought on the sea affairs, and Liu Heng can solve it by himself.

Your Majesty is going to use graffiti to harm people again!
He looked at the next victim with pity.

When Liu Heng explained his family's territory, Zhao Tuo's face became even darker.

Liu Sui was as thin and weak as his father, and Liu Chang was a little worried when he saw his sickly appearance.

Looking at these children, Liu Chang wanted to say a lot in his heart, but he couldn't say it. He just nodded silently.

It was right to let the fourth brother come here at the beginning. He really brought the prosperity of the entire south. With the strength of one person, he made the development work to the extreme. The person who directly leads the big man to run at high speed, let him manage the one-third of the big man, but it is a bit condescending. However, compared with the situation of being restricted everywhere in history, with serious shortage of money, and internal and external troubles, the fourth brother has lived very well. Shu Tan, with a large amount of capital investment from the temple behind him, and no powerful enemies around him, can perfectly display all his talents.

His two sons are taller than him, the eldest son Liu Sui and the second son Liu Piqiang.

"If this happens again, I will tie you all to the bow of the boat and swim in the sea!!"

"I'll draw a map for you later, and you can send people to explore! There will definitely be gains!"

Liu You said in a low voice: "This Zhuzi really wants to be your servant. If you think he's not bad, why don't you leave him as your servant? I'm a kind-hearted kid."

Unbeknownst to Liu Chang, in another timeline, the well-known Liu Biqiang succeeded his elder brother's throne and got a reluctant posthumous title of King Zhao Wen.

Xia Wu'er's face was pale, and his eyes were full of panic.

Liu Bo looks a lot stronger again. Although he is not as exaggerated as Liu Chang, he still stands out from the crowd among the young masters. Liu Ci and Liu Liang have also changed from dolls to teenagers, and they look a little handsome , although Liu Chang hasn't seen each other for a long time, he can still tell who they are at a glance.

Liu Chang patted Liu An's shoulder lightly, "Zizi, you did a good job. When I'm not around, you will take care of Chang'an."

Maybe His Majesty started beating His Highness in a hurry when he came back, and he didn't care about beating himself.

Facing Liu An's questioning, Xia Wuqiu was speechless.

Combining the enlightenment in his dream, he suddenly discovered that the fourth brother had expanded his territory to an incredible degree.

"Father!!"

Looking at their number, Liu Chang was relieved to find that there was no decrease.

Liu Chang pointed to Chang'an City in the distance, and suddenly he froze.

Several children surrounded Liu Chang excitedly. Liu Chang looked at Liu An. Liu An had completely lost his original childishness. During Liu Chang's absence, he also completed his transformation, and his whole person became He is more stable and dignified. At first glance, he looks a bit like the fourth brother. Liu Chang's face is gradually relieved. This time he boldly handed over the affairs of state to Liu An, just to let him take on the role of a big man alone and further sharpen his strength. He, now it seems, has achieved his goal.

Xia Wuqiu couldn't sit still all of a sudden, "Your Highness, I heard that there are still some problems with the medical center in Xiting Kingdom. I'm going to go to Xiting Kingdom to have a look."

Xia Wuqi took a deep breath, feeling a little desperate.

Liu Chang didn't stay any longer, and rushed towards Chang'an.

Liu Chang happily expressed his support and recognition for the fourth brother, and rewarded him with several sets of Chinese clothes. He looked at Zhao Tuo at the side, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'll tell you a route from Wu Go all the way to the south of the archipelago found in the country. You will find a big island. The land of that big island is larger than the entire country of Wu, several times larger. And ah. There are countless kinds of mines on it, and there are many rare ones. Animals, make sure you've never heard of it"

Liu An greeted him respectfully.

Liu An said calmly, "Father came back by sea."

Zhao Shi reacted abruptly, shaking his head hastily, "I am old and weak."

Zhao Tuo's complexion improved a lot, but Zhou Shengzhi who was beside him shook his head.

He first discovered Treasure Island, explored all the way in the Indochina Peninsula, and occupied the future Singapore. Zhou Shengzhi's fleet passed through the Strait of Malacca, and the Wu people discovered the Malay-Indonesian archipelago just opposite from Singapore. They even started to circle the archipelago. After exploring, the latest news is that another big island has been discovered. And Liu Chang can see clearly, it seems to be the Philippines. The whole Southeast Asia has been divided up by the three major vassal states of the Han Dynasty. Liu Chang secretly thinks about the status of the Han Dynasty As for the territory, he couldn't even figure out how big his family's territory was.

Liu Chang was dumbfounded. As soon as Naigong left, why did you start building checkpoints around Chang'an? ?What the hell do you mean? ?
Liu Chang led the people to continue walking, and finally, when he approached Chang'an, everyone came to greet him.

"What?! His Majesty is coming?!"

After completing the script of revival of the Wu Kingdom, he started a new script of conquering Southeast Asia non-stop.

Liu Chang left from here and came directly to Changsha country to meet Liu You, the sixth brother.

Liu Chang stayed in the south for a while, mainly to check the situation in various places, meet the ministers here, and also check the situation of their ships.

Liu An smiled again and said: "Besides, so many things have happened to the big man since my father left. He doesn't even know that he has become a big father. Don't worry, he doesn't care about you at all."

"The ships of Nanyue and the ships of Wu State are all the ships of my big man."

Ten years ago, Liu Chang set up shipbuilding workshops in various places, summoning famous shipbuilders to shoot and make brand new ships. Many new ships, after a great breakthrough in the shipbuilding industry, the country of Wu began to explore the outside world. This is not something that ordinary people can do. This requires extremely strong logistics and unswerving goals. King Wu obviously has such conditions.

Caravans line up here for interrogation.

When Liu Chang entered the checkpoint, the soldiers rushed to see him.

Liu An looked at him seriously, and said, "Please don't worry. Father is not so fussy."

"This stick is trying to rebel???"

Zhao Tuo said calmly: "I have been in the south for decades, and I know all the places like the palm of my hand. Although I don't have much ability to govern the country, I can manage it seriously, and it has achieved some results. Of course, it is still not as good as King Wu. King Wu has worked hard to govern the country. , Govern the country of Wu, and even manage this enclave in a decent manner. Compared with the king of Wu, I really don't know how to govern the country."

What else can be done?

During these days when His Majesty was away, His Highness has created a lot of things, which will surely make His Majesty jump in anger
But at this moment, Liu Chang looked at the majestic checkpoint in front of him, and looked suspiciously at the soldiers beside him.

Liu Heng took out the map and carefully explained the islands they found. Liu Chang fell into deep thought after listening.

But the second son, Liu Biqiang, is different. He looks quite tall, taller than his father and elder brother, with a ruddy complexion and a strong Kongwu. He is looking at Liu Chang excitedly, with a smile on his face.

Logically speaking, children from aristocratic families are usually taller because they don't go hungry, but Liu You always looks malnourished.

He surveyed the surrounding situation through many voyages and occupied many islands.

He sent people to explore several times, but they were always taken first by the other party and did not get any benefits.

Liu Chang stayed in Changsha for a few more days, and finally took this Youzi with him and left Changsha.

"Father always tells me about you. Why didn't you let us send troops when you went to be poisoned this time? I wrote to ask to join your army, but they said they only recruited doctors. I said I could be a doctor, but they didn't agree. kicked me out."

Liu Chang said seriously.

"Is Wuguan like this?? Why does it feel a bit wrong??"

They returned to Jiaozhi County together.

After that, the ministers of the court, Zhang Cang and others are all well.

In the future, state affairs can be left to Liu An directly, and he can go out to play and inspect the people's sentiments.

"Father!!"

Today's Han Dynasty seems to have expanded to a terrible extent. Yan State captured the Korean Peninsula, sent generals to govern Wa Island, and completely incorporated the Northeast in the north. Xia State occupied the vast grassland, the entire northern grassland and the barren land above them Strictly speaking, it is the territory of the Xia Kingdom, and the Xiting Kingdom has expanded its influence to the positions of several major stans, which can directly communicate with Bat (Afghanistan). The border area between the Maurya Kingdom and the Xiting Kingdom is the Han Grant Province (Punjab).
When Liu Chang realized it, he couldn't help touching his chin.

The armored soldier looked at Wuguan in front of him and nodded, "Your Majesty, it has indeed been remodeled. Although the original Wuguan was majestic, it was not as majestic as it is now. Today's Wuguan can be called the most dangerous pass in the world."

Liu Piqiang complained endlessly, and Liu Chang laughed.

The rest of the sons also rushed to meet.

Hearing these words, Xia Wuqiu felt much relieved just now.

Compared with the eldest son, Liu You obviously prefers this second son. Unlike his father, his second son is warm, eloquent, and very charming. Moreover, he cares about the people very much, and often goes around to help those poor families. He also assisted Guan Ying in formulating policies. In the new generation of clan, there are not many capable ones, and this guy is one of them. Hearing Liu You's explanation, Liu Chang looked at this young man approvingly.

"This medical office has just been established, and the specific matters have not been completed. How can you leave at this time?"

"Overseas is a big treasure house, its resources are innumerable, and the whole Han can benefit from it. As kings, you should not only focus on this peninsula, but also cooperate with the outside world. The ships of both sides should take care of each other and explore overseas together. , there are enough things, enough to make you both rich at the same time. When I was traveling by sea this time, I heard someone say that you fight with each other, and when ships meet, you are as vigilant against each other as if you are an enemy. What's more, you don't let each other Ships enter their own ports"

Liu Chang nodded approvingly, "I heard that the king of Nanyue only knew how to fight, but not how to govern the country. Now it seems that this statement is not true."

Liu Heng didn't even look at Zhao Tuo, and said directly through his words: "It's not that the king of Nanyue is not talented enough, it's just that the country of Nanyue is vast, and the king of Nanyue is old and lacks energy. , I really love my ministers, and I don’t want to tire the ministers sent by the temple. It’s really embarrassing. I respect you very much.”

Nai Gong is so strong!
Of course, although the nominal territory is large, the actual control area is much smaller than the territory. The big Han cannot actually control many areas, and the distance is too far away. They can only be governed by the princes, or take the form of nominal ownership. But Liu Chang wasn't worried. When Chen Tao and the others got the steam train out, these nominal territories would become actual control territories!

The two brothers chatted enthusiastically, and Liu Chang talked about many anecdotes about being poisoned.

Liu Chang asked about the situation of the checkpoints, and the general hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness sent people to expand Wuguan and Tongguan, and built checkpoints at dangerous locations throughout Chang'an. Send the army to guard them."

Officials from all over the country came out to greet him one after another, and the news flew to Chang'an like snowflakes.

"Father!"

Liu Heng began to report on the achievements of Wu Guo in the near future.

Liu Chang squinted his eyes and looked at him, "Do you want to know?"

Several people entered the city, and Zhao Tuo immediately hosted a banquet to entertain everyone.

The two kings hurriedly lowered their heads, "Wei."

What he said was even more terrible. He directly said that the ministers sent by Zhao Tuo emptied the temple and made their own decisions.

Liu Chang was full of helplessness. At the beginning, he felt that the princes and kings in the country could not suppress Zhao Tuo, so he changed the fiefdom and asked the fourth brother to come here to suppress Zhao Tuo. At first, Liu Chang thought that Zhao Tuo was getting old. The fourth brother is used to the local conditions, and when he could take over, Zhao Tuo had almost left, but now it seems that Zhao Tuo is still alive and kicking, and the fight between the two doesn't seem to be over at all.

There is nothing in the distance.

"Where's Chang'an???"

"Where is my Chang'an City?"

"Where's Naigong's city wall?!"
