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

Chapter 208 Your Majesty, I am here to share your worries

At this moment, only Prime Minister Lu Jia nodded and said, "What the Han envoy said is very true. The prince should succeed to the throne."

He bowed to Queen Qin, who had been holding her hands, and said, "The succession ceremony will be held in five days, and I will personally preside over it."

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

After saying that, Lu Jia turned around and left. Seeing this, Zhao Jiande, Marquis of Shuyang, was shocked. It was clearly the Prime Minister who notified him to compete for the throne, but now?

Damn!

No matter how unwilling he was, Zhao Jiande was unable to cope without the prime minister's support and could only leave angrily.

However, this hall is easy to enter but difficult to exit.

"and many more."

Li Guangli, who had been standing at the gate of the palace, glanced at the soldiers protecting Lu Jia, pondered for a few moments, and finally shifted his gaze to the eldest son of the King of Nanyue.

"Anyone can leave, but you can't."

Li Guangli held the hilt of the sword at his waist, his eyes full of hostility, "Marquis Shuyang's words reminded me that the sudden death of the King of Nanyue is indeed suspicious."

"The way you acted just now gave me every reason to doubt that you—" He pointed at Zhao Jiande and spoke word by word:

"Patricide!"

As soon as the words fell, the sword flashed.

With a clang sound, Li Guangli suddenly drew out the sword from his waist and chopped directly at Zhao Jiande's head.

Zhao Jiande stood there in a daze, but the soldiers protecting Lu Jia were always on guard. As soon as the voice came out, he subconsciously raised his sword to block.

bass!
The bronze sword and its scabbard were instantly split in two, and the remaining force also split most of the neck of the eldest son of the King of Nanyue...

laugh.

Li Guangli drew out his sword, and the figure staggered to the ground, and blood immediately dyed the ground red.

"It's the third year of Yuanding in the Han Dynasty, and you're still using bronze weapons? Ha, this is a barbarian land!" Li Guangli shook off the blood, sheathed his sword, turned around and left.

He had been gone for a long time, but the ministers in the hall were still standing there in a daze, their legs weak, and the soldiers who had just subconsciously blocked the attack were also shocked.

Lu Jia looked at the bleeding corpse on the ground, murderous intent and anger surging in his eyes. He stared for a long time and took a deep breath.

Close your eyes and open them again.

All the emotions turned into calmness, and he said only one word: "Go."

Lu Jia never expected that the envoy from the Han court would dare to kill people in public. Not to mention him, even Dongfang Shuo, who was also an envoy, was surprised.

In front of the Nanyue officials, he did not interrupt and ask, but left the hall and waited until the two of them were alone...

"I know what you're going to ask."

Li Guangli answered without being asked, "Killing the eldest son of the King of Nanyue will eliminate the root cause of the Lü family's troubles. It would be good if we can delay it for a few more days."

"Besides, he can also bear the blame. The death of the King of Nanyue cannot have anything to do with us!"

After hearing this, Dongfang Shuo's brows twisted into a shape of a "川" (river).

But in the end, he said nothing and approved of Li Guangli's approach, but Dongfang Shuo would not know it.

accident.

But there is more…

On the other side, Prime Minister Lu Jia returned to his mansion. Not long after, Lu's descendants gathered from all over.

In the hall.

"Brother, what should we do now?" The person asking the question was Lu Jia's third brother Lu Yang, who was in charge of the defense of Panyu City.

"When the crown prince ascends the throne, given his young age, the queen will have to take charge of state affairs. But if the queen is in power, she will definitely submit to the Han Dynasty."

"Are we going to vote too?"

As soon as he finished the tentative words, Lu Jia raised his drooping eyelids and glanced at him. He originally didn't want to answer this stupid question.

But there are too many stupid looks around.

Lü Jia had no choice but to ask: "If the Zhao family surrenders, they can get a hereditary princely title. If I surrender, can I get a hereditary prime minister?"

"Have you ever heard of a hereditary prime minister among the vassal states of the Han Dynasty?"

"Some of you here lead soldiers, some manage civilians, some occupy houses and lie on the ground, and have surrendered to the Han. Are there any of these left?"

"stupid!"

After he finished speaking, the hall was silent for a moment, and then there was a commotion, with waves of curses and slamming of the table, one after another. In a word:

I will never coexist with the Han people!
Never surrender!

After they had quarreled enough and finished yelling, and calmed down, Lu Jia ordered with a gloomy face: "Go find a royal family member who is willing to obey. At the succession ceremony in five days, I will personally help him take the throne!"

"As for Crown Prince Zhao Xing?"

"The queen has behaved improperly and promiscuously in the harem. Zhao Xing is not the son of the previous king and cannot inherit the throne!"

Since Lu Jia has defined the prince, no matter whether he is the son of the previous king or not, if the prime minister says he is not, then he is definitely not.

I'll bite you to death!

At this time, someone asked again: "Uncle, the Han envoy will definitely not approve it, what do you think..."

Hearing this, Lu Jia's murderous intent that he had suppressed in the palace resurfaced. He looked at all the Lu clan members and said, "If the Han envoys don't allow it, then kill them along with the prince! I want to see for myself how powerful the Han army is!"

It’s hard to say whether it was successful or not without a real fight.

But it will be fast, definitely fast.

In less than five days, the Han army stationed on the border marched quickly all the way. The passes along the way were unobstructed and the men and horses did not rest. Lu Bode was well aware of the way that the champion marquis marched thousands of miles.

All light cavalry members headed straight for Panyu City.

Even if there are defenders along the way who have doubts and send messengers to the capital, as long as the marching speed is faster than the delivery speed, a surprise attack can still be launched!
until.

In a fortress near the capital of Nanyue, he encountered a garrison commander named Lu who refused to recognize the king's seal and only recognized the prime minister's handwriting.

He was stubborn and insisted on reporting to the Prime Minister before letting him go.

can't.

Lu Bode had no choice but to break through the city wall, chop off his head and then continue on his way.

However, after this delay, the news of the Han army's armed entry was first delivered to Panyu City. Then, the capital of Nanyue was blown up.

"quick!"

"Lead the troops to garrison the city, and send another group of people to capture those Han Dynasty envoys!"

"Go to the palace. The queen was appointed by the Han emperor. Tie her to the top of the city wall. The Han army will be afraid to act rashly. Tie the prince and the envoys together. We can delay as long as we can!"

"Send a messenger quickly to summon the army to defend the king!"

The descendants of the Lu family were everywhere in the Nanyue Kingdom, and the power controlled by the Lu family was everywhere. As the orders of Prime Minister Lu Jia were issued one after another, the flag of the king was immediately raised on the city wall of the Nanyue Kingdom.

In such a critical situation, it is remarkable that Lu Jia could make such a decision.

just.

Some adversities are beyond human control.

Inside the royal palace, on the walls, arrows rained down and there were constant shouts of killing. The Han court envoys, who were being hunted all over the city, had already taken refuge in the palace and were struggling to command the guards to resist.

"General Zhonglang, this won't work!"

Dongfang Shuo glanced at the enemy troops outside the battlements and shouted, "The palace guards are few and not loyal enough. Before General Fu Bo can take the city, we must take the palace first!"

Li Guangli thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about the palace. Let these Nanyue guards continue to guard it."

"You and I will each lead a group of people. You protect the queen, and I will protect the prince. Let's break out separately!"

"it is good!"

The situation was urgent, and Dongfang Shuo had no time to think. He responded, immediately gathered a group of envoys and guards, and quickly rushed to the harem.

After he left, Li Guangli also quietly retreated with the remaining members of the delegation.

Before he got close to the queen's palace, he heard a cry of fear.

"General!"

When the two palace guards who stayed behind saw Li Guangli leading people in, their tense nerves relaxed and they immediately stepped forward and clasped their fists.

At this moment, Queen Qin had disappeared. She must have been taken away by Dongfang Shuo, leaving behind only the young child who was crying non-stop in the palace.

"No need to say more, take the prince away!"

"Yes!"

The two palace guards immediately turned around to hug the prince, but they had just turned around.

puff!
Two steel knives pierced the abdomen of the two men.

Their faces were distorted with pain and shock, and before they could ask why, the two palace guards had their necks cut.

"Master, what should we do with him?" The man holding a bloody long knife glanced at Prince Zhao Xing and asked in a serious voice.

Li Guangli did not answer. He just took the handle of the knife, walked to the Prince of Nanyue who was already speechless with horror, and swung the knife, blood splattering three feet.

That’s all…

Throwing the long knife back, Li Guangli remained calm and ordered: "Find all the heirs of the Nanyue princes, and leave no one alive."

"Here!"

The delegation can recruit its own guards. Those who stay with Li Guangli at the moment are all good people he has won over in recent years, and they are particularly capable and efficient in doing things.

In addition, Li Guangli had paid special attention to it before, and he searched for them one by one, and took advantage of the chaos in the palace to kill them quickly.

Not long after.

The scattered personnel returned one after another, and then the flames fueled by kerosene engulfed the palace of the Nanyue Kingdom.

Looking at the billowing smoke, Li Guangli muttered to himself: "Don't blame me. If you were alive, the Han Dynasty would at most add a vassal state, but if you were dead, the Han Dynasty could add many directly-affiliated counties."

'Isn't my contribution greater?'

"Your Majesty, I am here to share your worries..."

When the fire first started, the palace was declared broken, and Lu's private soldiers rushed in and killed their way to the harem.

Of course they couldn't catch the living people they wanted to capture, but they saw quite a few dead bodies.

correct.

All the heirs of the Nanyue princes died, including the young Crown Prince Zhao Xing who was brutally murdered. It was Lu's private soldiers who did it!

Without a doubt!

They broke into the palace and killed anyone they saw. They were so unscrupulous. Where did they put the reputation of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty?

Zhao Xing was the heir to South Vietnam recognized by His Majesty the Emperor, but he was killed by the South Vietnamese rebels! ?

It's the other way around!

A fire broke out in the royal palace, and then a fire broke out in the city soon after. Then, when the city was in chaos, the Han army that was suppressing the rebellion broke into the city.

Lu Bode did not shout out the slogan of "suppressing the rebellion" at first. When the accompanying counselor Zhongjun went out for a walk and came back, the slogan came up -

Defeat the traitor Lu family!

Put down the rebellion!

kill!

In fact, the moment the army entered the city, it meant that everything was settled...

……

Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace.

Liu Che has been both happy and unhappy recently.

The reason for his happiness was that he had one more son. Yes, Lady Li was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to a boy. Liu Che named him: Bo
That is, the emperor's fourth son, Liu Bo.

After saying that he was happy, what followed was unhappiness. After the report from the Kingdom of Nanyue was urgently delivered to Liu Che over 800 miles, he became even more unhappy.

because--

"We have conquered Nanyue, but not a single general has come to see me. Do they not want to lead the army? Are all the more than 200 Han nobles who were awarded titles for their meritorious service dead?"

"I just want to ask, are they all dead? "
