My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 200: Nai Lao He
Hedong County.

The Yellow River, flowing south from the Hetao Plain, flows here and meets its second largest tributary, called the Fen River.

On the east bank where the Fen River and the Yellow River meet, there is a county town called Fenyin County.

In the cool and crisp autumn weather.

Near the county town, there were many ships on the river. On the tallest ship in the middle, the emperor looked at the report in his hand, acting casual and leisurely. "I let the crown prince govern the country this time. In order to be on the safe side, I specially left the Imperial Censor behind. Now it seems that I was worrying too much."

The eunuch standing beside him bent over and said with a flattering smile: "The Crown Prince has been taught by Your Majesty himself, so it is only natural that he has great skills in governing the country."

"Humph."

The emperor threw the report to the old eunuch and sneered, "The prince's methods are not brilliant or clever, but just mediocre and presentable."

Ordinary people have always used repressive education to educate their children, and the same is true for the royal family. If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful thing.

Hearing the emperor say "you're quite good" was already a great compliment. The eunuch knew that His Majesty was happy at the moment, so he tried to say nice things.

Next to the ship's side.

The old eunuch bowed and smiled, "I am a stupid servant, but according to the report, the Crown Prince did not personally ask for mercy, but saved Yi Zong, and the way he handled the matter also took into account the dignity of Your Majesty. Isn't this brilliant?"

Looking at the rippling river, Liu Che stood with his hands behind his back, "It's too artificial, too many marks, only it can be appreciated by a eunuch like you."

"Of course, I can't compare with your majesty."

"Humph."

The emperor laughed and said no more.

The old eunuch's guess was correct. Although he was cursing happily, Liu Che was quite satisfied with the prince's methods in his heart. After all, this was the first time for a young man to serve as regent.

The eunuch's words did hit the nail on the head. The prince took the emperor's majesty into consideration and did not take action himself.

These two points are very important!

In order to save Zhang Tang and persuade Zhuang Qingzhai, the prince ran around everywhere, disrupting the emperor's plans.

At that time.

Liu Che was once very dissatisfied. He was not dissatisfied with the prince's interference, but he was dissatisfied with the other party's reckless and childish methods!
Judging from the report sent from Chang'an, he is much better now. Yi Zong must be saved, but he cannot cross the line and must be punished accordingly.

Because he disobeyed the imperial edict!
Secondly, even if he wants to save the king, he should not personally engage in heated arguments and bargaining with his ministers. If he does this too often, it will only undermine the king's dignity and cause endless harm.

'Zhou Zhongju, Zhao Yu, Li Guangli...'

The emperor rubbed his fingers gently behind his back, looked into the distance, and thought in his mind.

The historians would record everything that happened during the court meeting and what everyone said, and then send it to the emperor.

Only watched it once.

The emperor guessed almost exactly what means the prince had used. Taichang Zhou Zhongju was lustful, and Dongfang Shuo was the prince's man, so it was obvious why Taichang suddenly changed his tone.

And Shaofu Zhao Yu...

"He is a cruel man, and he has learned Zhou Yafu's arrogant character. Humph, the prince used kindness to control him, which is very clever."

'The only one left is Li Guangli who was beaten?'

Think of this.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile reappeared on his face, but his eyes were full of indifference.

Because of Madam Li, the Li family seemed to have no grudges against the Prince's Palace, but in fact they were the most difficult to deal with. They could neither be won over nor divided, so the better solution was to attack them directly. The Prince's response was correct.

Simultaneously.

Li Guangli's performance did not disappoint the emperor...

Ever since he sold Chen Ajiao to ascend to the throne, the emperor knew that Li Guangli was an ambitious man.

"It's good to be ambitious!"

"I kept you in Chang'an and promoted you in the first place, just to create an ambitious, vicious and powerful enemy for the prince."

Only when there are enemies will we be cautious and careful. Only when there are enemies will we force ourselves to move forward at all times, rather than being lazy, indulgent, and reckless...

Thinking of this, the emperor said in a deep voice: "I remember that the vassal state sent envoys to offer some jewels and jades?"

Upon hearing this, the eunuch said respectfully, "Your Majesty, there are indeed a few rare treasures. Do you want to..."

"Pick a few and send them to Yilan Palace." "What about Jiaofang Palace?"

The emperor glanced at the eunuch's order, and the old eunuch immediately understood, "This servant is too talkative, I will do it right away."

The ship slowly approached the shore. A number of high-ranking officials including the governor of Hedong County, the county magistrate, and the commander had been waiting for a long time.

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

The imperial guards lined up in a row, with flags flying. On the river bank, officials bowed and kowtowed one after another. However, the emperor was not polite and flicked his sleeves:
"I stopped and walked along the way, and when I arrived in Fenyin, I went boating for many days, just to give you time to clean up your mess."

"I've given you the chance. When the problem is found, don't say I'm merciless. Come back to report on government affairs in the evening. Now everyone is gone."

"Here."

The county officials waiting around wiped the sweat off their foreheads, responded, bowed and left. The governor of Hedong County who stayed behind said cautiously:

"Your Majesty, after receiving the imperial edict, I immediately summoned the craftsmen, and the Hou Tu Temple has been completed."

"Okay, you can leave too."

"Yes."

At this time, ministers from other ships came down one after another, and the emperor looked at the mascot he had set up...but the other party didn't understand what he meant.

Liu Che had no choice but to say, "Prime Minister, I will be staying in the palace soon. Do you want to go and have a look in advance?"

"Forehead……"

Zhao Zhou was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Yes, yes, I'll go right away!"

Looking at the other person's receding back, the emperor moved his lips, but ultimately said nothing and turned to look at General Wei Qing.

"Your Majesty, the military order to gather soldiers from the counties in Guandong has been issued. According to the speed calculation, they can arrive before the Eastern Tour Team."

"it is good."

The emperor was satisfied, and as he led his ministers forward, he glanced at another one. Gongsun He immediately bowed and said, "Before I left the capital, I sent an urgent document. The Xiongnu and Wuhuan, who are subordinate to the north, have already sent envoys."

"The journey to the southern Dian Kingdom, Yelang Kingdom, and Dongyue Kingdom is quite long. Some of the envoys are still on the way. They will arrive within half a month."

"Uncle Zi is doing a good job." The emperor nodded again.

Gongsun He, whose courtesy name was Zishu.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, the three dukes and nine ministers have been replaced like a revolving lantern, except for this old minister in the palace. When the emperor ascended the throne, he was promoted to the position of Grand Coachman. Decades later, Gongsun He was still the Grand Coachman.

This kind of "stability" is really not easy to achieve.

At this time, Gongsun He hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the ruler of Nanyue claimed to be ill and did not reply to the letter."

Upon hearing this.

The emperor suddenly stopped and stared at Gongsun He for a long while, then sneered and started again: "Ha!"

The emperor's tour was to deter both the people at home and abroad. He asked the Kingdom of Nanyue to send envoys to pay homage, but they didn't come?
This vassal state of the Han Dynasty, to which the Han Dynasty once sent troops to help, has indeed become a bit too powerful.

In response, the emperor strode into the carriage and left a message: "Send the news to Chang'an!"

"Here."

The carriage started off slowly, and the huge team headed towards the city. Anyone could see that the emperor had no time to deal with the mess in the vassal states.

At this moment, the emperor was fully focused on his eastern tour.

The second year of Yuanding, the end of August.

The emperor and his ministers in Chang'an finally arrived at the origin of the "ding". At the place where Gongsun Qing dug out the precious ding, the emperor ordered the construction of Hou Tu Temple.

And personally worship Hou Tu.

On that day, the emperor left a poem called "Autumn Wind Ode" here, which reads:

"The autumn wind rises and the white clouds fly, the grass and trees turn yellow and the wild geese fly south. The orchids are beautiful and the chrysanthemums are fragrant, and I can't forget the beautiful woman in my heart."

"I sail across the Fen River in a tower boat, crossing the middle of the river and raising the white waves. The flute and drum sound and I sing songs, I am extremely happy but also full of sorrow."

"How long will youth last? How can I stop aging?"
