I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 328 Emperor Qi: After a hundred years...

Saying goodbye to the 'old guys', even though Liu Sheng hadn't recovered from the stupefaction, he could only force himself to regain his composure, and walked along the ridge of the field with Tianzi Qi to the side of the road.

However, with a distance of one hundred and eighty steps, Tianzi Qizi didn't want to take the trouble to take the car, so he simply walked towards the direction not far away with the support of Liu Sheng.

Just like this, the father and son chatted from under the old tree until late at night...
"Back then, when the late emperor was seriously ill, he had a conversation like this with me once."

"Now, although I have not yet reached the point of dying, it is naturally the best thing to finish what I have to say while my energy is still high..."

···
"how?"

"Chat?"

Walking slowly in the field, Liu Sheng only nodded subconsciously when he heard Tianzi Qi's pretentiously relaxed tone.

And Tian Ziqi's next words finally made Liu Sheng understand: from the Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang to the present, excluding the two young emperors before and after, why did the four emperors surpass the three standard lines, and even be called " Excellent' Ming Jun...
"Let's start with the last year of my Empress Yuan."

Just this one word caused Liu Sheng's eyes to widen in astonishment, and his already somewhat astonished mood only turned into a blank in his mind.

——The last year of the Houyuan!
What do you mean?
Translated into the vernacular that future generations can understand, it is "the year before my death".

And such a sentence——such a sentence 'speaking from the year before my death', said from the mouth of a feudal emperor...
"In the last year of the Yuan Dynasty, there must be undercurrents surging inside and outside the court;"

"Ministers and ministers are all anxious and fearful because of my physical condition—fearing that my death will cause turmoil in the government and the public."

"So that year was an opportunity that you must not miss."

"—Sending charcoal in a timely manner is always the easiest way to buy people's hearts."

"And in that year, when he was trembling inside and outside the court, walking on thin ice, feeling confused and fearful about the future, all the advantages and disadvantages displayed by the prince will be infinitely magnified."

"If you make a mistake, there will be great reactions from inside and outside the government and the public, and even turmoil will occur;"

"But if you do something good, it will greatly soothe the minds of the court and the public, and you can't help but move closer to the prince."

"This is the beginning of the transfer of imperial power."

"In other words: from the day I was bedridden, you have been a real and nameless emperor;"

"As for me, I will become an 'overlord' who can't get sick..."

···
"During that year, many people would deliberately or unintentionally provoke and separate my father and son;"

"I am lying on the bed with a serious illness, and my mind is in a daze, so I may not be able to tell right from wrong, so I promise not to suspect you."

"At that time, what you have to do is to weigh."

"——It is necessary to ensure a stable and smooth transfer of imperial power, and to ensure that I, who is in a daze, will not be suspicious."

"This is my job."

"If you can do this well, you can become a Han emperor who is 'barely not too bad' in the future."

"At least that's what the late emperor told me back then..."

Hearing Tian Ziqi's unprecedented confession, even talking about his own death indifferently, Liu Sheng was even more astonished;
As for Tianzi Qi, subconsciously supported by Liu Sheng, he walked up the long street outside the dormitory step by step.

While walking, he did not forget to continue to say: "In that year, I might be moody, and even go to prison at every turn."

"At that time, you will have to think more about it."

"—Some people, because he deserves to die, I put him in prison;"

"At this time, you have to put on a posture of 'father's life is hard to break' and 'emperor's life is hard to break', and sit back and watch me remove obstacles for you."

"—There are still some people who may not deserve to die. They were only convicted and imprisoned for simply offending me."

"If this is the case, then you have to go and rescue people secretly;"

"At the very least, we must save his life, wait for me for a hundred years, and then pardon him to be released from prison."

"But there is one thing: you can't let me—the old and faint-hearted me know about these things."

"How to grasp this speed is also a test for you..."

···
"In that year, the Huns in the north and Zhao Tuo in the south will definitely not be peaceful."

"Knowing that the emperor of my Han family is old and seriously ill, and the crown prince is young and weak, these jackals will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity."

"The Huns in the north are likely to attack the border in a big way, and even pass through the city without going down, and go deep into the hinterland of our Han family."

"But even so, you must not easily change the current military garrison of my Han family."

"——Chao Cuo's saying is very correct: foreigners are the disease of the skin, and princes are the disease of the heart."

"It is better to be robbed and humiliated by foreigners than to fish in troubled waters by the Kanto princes, intending to overthrow the country..."

···
"As for Zhao Tuo in the south..."

"Hmm~"

"He would never dare to raise an army;"

"Especially after the rebellion between Wu and Chu is pacified, no one in the south of the five ridges will dare to lead troops across the five ridges to the north."

"Speaking of breaking the sky, that is, pulling out his yellow house left flag, showing off his prestige in Lingnan, and calling himself 'Nanyue Wudi' in private."

"You have to endure the matter of South Vietnam."

"But this Ninja is different from Ninja Huns."

"——Being humiliated by the Huns is because the infantry of our Han family really can't defeat the cavalry of the Huns head-on, and whether our Han family has enough horses and cavalry to compete with the Huns' cavalry;"

"So to endure the Xiongnu is to wait for the opportunity."

"The forbearance towards South Vietnam is not because the South Vietnam army is as difficult as the Huns' cavalry, but because the gain outweighs the gain and is unnecessary."

"The people of South Vietnam destroyed the borders and fortified themselves, and the industry and commerce were not prosperous;"

"South Vietnam's agriculture is slash-and-burn, and the agricultural output is not abundant."

"Most of the soldiers are descendants of Qin Zhengnan's army. Although they are descendants of the Qin people, they have long since lost the vigor of their fathers and ancestors."

"In the final analysis: the reason why Nanyue is still Nanyue is that Zhao Tuo used the prestige accumulated over the past few decades to suppress the various ministries of the Yue people."

"As soon as Zhao Tuo dies, Nanyue will no longer need to be feared by my Han family..."

Speaking of this, Tianzi Qi was already supported by Liu Sheng to the bedroom, and lay down gently on the imperial couch.

It was only at this moment that Liu Sheng finally recovered from the previous stunned, and nodded thoughtfully.

Compared with the Xiongnu, South Vietnam is not a big problem or a big hidden danger for the Han family today.

If the relationship between the Han and the Hungarians is that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the side of the couch cannot allow other people to sleep soundly, such as "immortality", then South Vietnam under Zhao Tuo's rule is at best an annoying fly.

You don’t care about him, he just buzzes and flies around, and bites you every now and then, making you irritated and itchy, it’s really disgusting;

But what if?
I can't shoot it, and I have to slap myself if I accidentally slap myself.

Therefore, Liu Sheng clearly understood: Tianzi Qi was right.

Compared with the mess of internal governance, but the Xiongnu who can rule the grassland and unify the nomadic people with powerful force, Nanyue is really useless.

If you have to say that Nanyue has a foundation, it is the troubled times at the end of Qin Dynasty. Qin Longchuan ordered Zhao Tuo to destroy the main traffic routes to and from Lingnan, and realized the de facto separatism;
After the anti-Qin rebel army destroyed Ying Qin, beheaded the third child, and then fought for hegemony between Chu and Han, the final winner was "Han Taizu Liu Bang". .

Even later, Taizu Liu Bang inadvertently discovered that at the edge of the known world, there was a barbarian chief named Zhao Tuo who dared to proclaim himself emperor, but there was nothing he could do about Zhao Tuo.

——In this generation, even Changsha is still an undeveloped tropical jungle!

As for Nanyue, which faces Changsha across five ridges and is located further south, let alone how "unsuitable for human habitation".

Coupled with the fact that there are five ridges separated, it created a natural barrier for Zhao Tuo's South Vietnam, which made the mere South Vietnam a cancer that the Han family had established for more than 50 years, but it has not yet been eradicated.

In the final analysis, it is actually three words: unnecessary.

Sending an army of more than 20 to [-] troops to vomit and diarrhea in the southern tropical jungle, sick and die, and cross the Lingnan sickly, just to wipe out Zhao Tuo's tens of thousands of wild soldiers, is really not worthwhile.

With that effort, sending the same ten or 20 troops to the north is enough to fight the Huns openly.

Anyway, Zhao Tuo at best, that is, calling himself an emperor from time to time, sitting in a yellow house with a left hand to brush his presence, is purely disgusting, but can't cause substantial harm to the Han family at all;
What's more, the phrase "Once Zhao Tuo dies, Nanyue will no longer be a hidden danger" is not just as simple as the literal meaning...

"Father said..."

"The Grandson of the Nanyue King: Zhao Hu?"

With a soft word, the emperor nodded with a smile.

"Ah~"

"Zhao Tuo, who is immortal, made the Qin Longchuan Order shortly after Qin Wangzheng wiped out the six kingdoms;"

"From Qin Wangzheng's conquest of Lingnan, to the change of the sand dunes, the second king immediately;"

"From the time when the son of the third generation was cut in half and abandoned in the market, to Xiang Ji's suicide in Wujiang;"

"After another seven years of Emperor Taizu Gao, eight years of Emperor Xiaohui, eight years of Empress Dowager Lu, 27 years of Xiandi, and seven years of my life."

"—Counting it all down, Zhao Tuo, who is so old, must be in his 90s, right?"

"Hey······"

"According to the news from the spies, this old man may live to be more than 100 years old."

"Maybe even if I survived to death, I can still survive you, kid, to the age of gray hair?"

···
"Zhao Tuo lived for more than 90 years, and the crown prince Zhao Zhongshi died of old age at the age of 70 more than ten years ago."

"Today's grandson, Zhao Hu, is over [-] years old, and he lived in Chang'an since he was a child. He was taught by a great Confucian from Lu to write poems and books on righteousness;"

"After Zhao Tuo's death, Zhao Hu will definitely return to South Vietnam to take the throne;"

"And Zhao Hu's wife and children who stayed in Chang'an are the Nanyue King and Queen Mother after Zhao Hu..."

"These things are what my Han family has been doing since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao."

"—By using the proton to succeed to the throne, we will solve the problem of South Vietnam without bloodshed."

"In the future, you have to pay more attention."

"From time to time, the protons of the foreign domains such as Nanyue and Minyue are called to talk and chat."

"Every time I say one more sentence, maybe my Han family will lose one less soldier who is good at fighting..."

Hearing Tian Ziqi say this, Liu Sheng has completely recovered from the previous astonishment, and completely focused on the present;
But it is precisely because of this that after hearing Tianzi Qi's extremely indifferent tone, as if he was talking about other people's affairs instead of the indifferent tone of "what will you do after I die", Liu Sheng did not act like before. Like that, subconsciously nodded.

At this moment, Liu Sheng felt mixed feelings in his heart.

Liu Sheng had fantasized more than once: what kind of scene would it be when the old man was about to leave;
But it is obvious that the situation in front of him never appeared in Liu Sheng's expectation...
"Before I died, that was all these things."

"The important thing is after I die."

"—With the Empress Dowager here, there will be no trouble with the throne;"

"But even then, you can't take it lightly."

"On the day of my death, the Empress Dowager will definitely order Chang'an to be under martial law, and then let you go to the Xuanshi Hall to accept the allegiance of the courtiers and ministers."

"If the Queen Mother didn't do this, then you have to do it yourself."

"Don't worry about whether you will be charged with 'disrespect' and 'disrespect to the Queen Mother'."

"Sit on the throne first, and then talk about other things."

···
"After my death, I will be buried in Yangling;"

"Although I will say 'be sure to bury it lightly', you will definitely not listen to it, and you must not listen to it."

"Therefore, my funeral things should be as realistic as possible."

"—If you can use clay, don't use gold or copper;"

"—If you can use bamboo and wood, don't use beads or jade."

"The trend of heavy burials has intensified in my Han family, and it will bring disaster to future generations."

"To advocate thin burial and simple burial, the emperor must be the first in the world."

"Start with me;"

"You have to do the same in the future..."

···
"When a new monarch succeeds, the government and the people are in trouble, so naturally all the ministers who have made meritorious service should be appointed to reassure the hearts of all officials."

"—Mother's family relative Jia, you want to be named a marquis;"

"It doesn't need to be too big, just two or three thousand households."

"—Master Dou, you can't confer new Marquis, but the old Marquis Che must be conferred Shiyi;"

"For example, Marquis Zhang Wu can enclose [-] households, while Marquis Wei Qi and Nanpi can enclose [-] households each."

"Besides, your Taifu, Shaobao, and ministers, if you can be appointed, you should seize the opportunity as much as possible."

"If you really can't be named a marquis, you can add an official;"

"No matter how bad it is, I still want to reward some gold, silk, swords, etc., so as not to chill the hearts of Qiandi's confidants..."

···
"The Queen Mother, I don't need to say more, you understand it yourself."

"The queen will be the queen mother at that time, and you have to make up your own mind."

"And your brothers, you must think carefully: when it's time to strike, don't be soft."

"Don't let thousands of people in the world lose their relatives for the sake of your own relatives..."

···
"Oh, right······"

···
"and also······"

···
"Don't forget that..."

···
"and also······"

"and also·········"
