The big man has a living father

Chapter 199 (Big Chapter) Throwing Thunder Old X
"I wonder how Chang'an is doing."

An Guo Shao Ji came to Panyu (Yangcheng), the capital of Nanyue State.

At this time, An Guo Shao Ji still remembered the orders he had received.

Instigate the Vietnamese king Zhao Yingqi to take action.

Whether it was killing An Guo Shao Ji, sending troops, or any other act disrespectful to the Han Dynasty, it was all acceptable.

Why send An Guo Shao Ji?
Many people in Chang'an would not believe it if they told you that Shao Ji of An Guo had dated Queen Jiu, the wife of Zhao Yingqi, the third king of Nanyue.

In plain words, An Guo Shao Ji is Zhao Yingqi's predecessor and Queen Qin's ex-boyfriend.

What a great "Ex-Files Strategy".

This may sound strange, but it's actually not.

An Guo Shao Ji was from Chang'an, or to be more precise, from Ba Ling.

Ba Ling is actually the tomb of Emperor Wen, and the place where it was built is called Bai Lu Yuan.

During the transition period between the Qin and Han dynasties, that position was called Bashang.

When Emperor Gaozu captured Chang'an, he was afraid that Xiang Yu would turn against him, so he returned his army to Bashang.

In fact, it was not because of cowardice, but because the terrain of Bashang is higher than Chang'an. Looking at it from Chang'an, it is like seeing a towering city wall.

If Xiang Yu really turned against Emperor Gao, he would fight Xiang Yu and might win.

When Emperor Wen built his tomb, he built it at this location and also mobilized local tyrants to build the tomb.

The Anguo Shaoji family was a powerful family from Handan.

Because of this, Anguo Shaoji speaks with a Handan accent.

Later, a beautiful girl from Handan named Qiu came to Chang'an. An Guo Shao Ji fell in love with Qiu.

At this time, a third party appeared.

The third party is called Zhao Yingqi.

He was the great-grandson of Zhao Tuo and the son of the second King of Nanyue.

He was sent to Chang'an to serve as a guard.

It was an act of loyalty by the Kingdom of Nanyue to the Han Dynasty as a vassal state.

After Zhao Yingqi came to Chang'an, he also fell in love with Qiu.

In the end, An Guo Shao Ji retreated.

Zhao Yingqi and Qin got married.

Just a few months before Huo Hai came to Chang'an, the King of Nanyue died, so Liu Che sent Zhao Yingqi and his wife and children back to Nanyue, and Zhao Yingqi succeeded to the throne and became the new king.

In fact, according to reason, An Guo Shao Ji should not have been dispatched.

Because An Guo Shao Ji and Qiu broke up peacefully, to be honest, there is still a deep affection between them.

Their breakup was not an emotional event, but a political event.

As soon as Zhao Yingqi died, An Guo Shao Ji would go on a diplomatic mission to Nanyue again and persuade Queen Qin to surrender to Han and complete the unification.

This is the royal way.

As for how Zhao Yingqi died, that was Liu Che's job, not An Guo Shao Ji's.

After all, Princess Wei Chang's people were able to infiltrate the Nanyue Kingdom unscrupulously, so how could Liu Che have so few people in the Nanyue Kingdom?
In addition to the best strategy, there is also a middle strategy.

The middle strategy was to trick Zhao Yingqi into living in Chang'an, and then send An Guo Shao Ji to the Kingdom of Nanyue.

By then, Queen Qin will be in charge of the government, and Shao Ji of Anguo will represent the Han Dynasty. With the two combined, will it be difficult for Nanyue to surrender?

Going on a diplomatic mission at this time would be the worst option.

It was nothing more than Anguo Shaoji running to Zhao Yingqi and saying, "Zhao Yingqi, I'm throwing Lei's wife..." Then Zhao Yingqi chopped Anguo Shaoji to death, and then the Han army marched southward in an instant to wipe out Nanyue.

Then the history books wrote that Zhao Yingqi killed the Han envoy and destroyed the country.

That's how it ended.

But this is indeed a bad idea.

When An Guo Shao Ji arrived here, he still had to think about what to do.

Today, the situation in Panyu is not good.

Zhao Yingqi's father, Zhao Hu, was the owner of the famous jade burial suit in the tomb of the King of Nanyue and the owner of the Qin Dynasty shipbuilding site.

He had long felt that the Han Dynasty was subtly influencing the South Vietnamese regime, so he did what many people would do and employed the local Vietnamese people.

Facts have proved that it was precisely because of his action that the Han Dynasty had to speed up the process of unification.

Otherwise, it will be a bit troublesome after a long time.

This Yue tribe is not the Yue tribe of later generations, or the Yue Jing tribe, but the ancient Baiyue tribe.

This ancient Baiyue tribe combined with the Han people who later moved south to give birth to seven or eight ethnic minorities in the south in later generations, such as the Shui, Miao, Dai, and Zhuang peoples, all of whom have some of their bloodline.

At this time, the Vietnamese are not the majority in the Kingdom of Nanyue.

Nearly a hundred years ago, half a million Han people went south to develop this area. At that time, there were only tens of thousands of Vietnamese people. A hundred years later, after a hundred years of development in the Nanyue Kingdom, these places became suitable for human survival and had a population of one million.

Of course, in theory, almost all of the million-person population are Han Chinese.

They are just Han people who have adopted the local customs of the Baiyue people, and some of them have Baiyue ancestry.

However, in order to counter the Han Dynasty's covetousness, Zhao Hu began to employ Yue people.

Although this country has a population of one million, there are only more than 10,000 pure Vietnamese people, but because Zhao Hu deliberately carried the sedan chair, these people were very united and occupied high positions.

If the timeline had not changed, after the fifth king of Nanyue, Queen Qin's son, surrendered to the Han Dynasty, the high-ranking officials of the Yue ethnic group would have rebelled and were eventually crushed into dust.

But now, things have changed.

An Guo Shao Ji came to Panyu a few years in advance.

The person who came to receive him left a deep impression on An Guo Shao Ji.

This person's name is Lu Jia.

During the Zhao-Hu era, Lü Jia served as Taifu and was a representative of high-ranking officials of the Yue ethnic group.

All members of the Lu family intermarried with the royal family of Nanyue, and the situation of a public empire was almost formed like that of Empress Lu in the early Han Dynasty.

Currently, half of the high-ranking officials in the Nanyue court are of the Yue ethnic group, and two-thirds of them are relatives of Lu Jia.

To put it bluntly, it was not the Yue clan who was promoted, but Lu Jia.

As soon as Zhao Hu died, Lu Jia immediately became the prime minister of Nanyue Kingdom.

If the situation does not change, he will be the prime minister of the fourth and fifth generations of the King of Nanyue.

Lü Jia spoke authentic Mandarin to Anguo Shaoji: "Han envoy, what is the purpose of your visit this time?"

Anguo Shaoji was not shocked by Lü Jia's accent, but said calmly: "Your Majesty sends envoys to invite the King of Nanyue to Chang'an every year, and this time is no exception."

When Zhao Hu was in power, the Han court sent envoys to Nanyue many times to invite Zhao Hu to the capital for an audience. Zhao Hu did not dare to go, and sent Zhao Yingqi to Chang'an as a guard.

Nowadays, Chang'an also sends people every year to remind Zhao Yingqi to go to the capital for the pilgrimage.

Zhao Yingqi wanted to exercise the power of life and death and do whatever he wanted. He was afraid that once he entered the court, the court would use laws to restrict him like they did to the princes in the interior. So he claimed to be ill and did not go to Chang'an to pay homage. He only sent his son Zhao Cigong to Chang'an to serve as a guard.

Don't think this behavior is fear.

Don’t forget that the name of the Kingdom of Nanyue was Nan-Yue.

The 120 Qin passes finally belong to Chu, and the 3,000 Yue soldiers can swallow Wu.

The fact that King Gou Jian of Yue slept on firewood and tasted gall and worked as a groom for King Fu Chai of Wu was known to all the people of Nanyue and the Han people.

Zhao Yingqi's service as a guard for Emperor Liu Che was the same as sleeping on straw and tasting gall.

But Zhao Yingqi tried to learn from Gou Jian, but failed.

Gou Jian knew that Wu's minister Bo Pi was greedy for money and lustful, and could be bribed.

But after so many years in the Han Dynasty, Zhao Yingqi discovered.

The officials in the Han Dynasty were all people who had no say, and all the power was in the hands of Liu Che alone.

Therefore, Zhao Yingqi did not dare to follow Goujian's example and rebel against Wu, nor did he really submit to Wu. He just played ostrich anyway.

Lü Jia: "I wonder what the Han envoy thinks, should my king go to Chang'an or not?"

Logically, if it was a public question, the Han envoy would definitely answer, so of course it would be better to go.

Anguo Shaoji asked: "May I ask what Prime Minister Lu thinks we should do?"

Lu Jia: "You can go, or you can not go."

Lu Jia didn't dare to move and couldn't move now.

Zhao Yingqi, the King of Nanyue, could not learn from Gou Jian, the King of Yue.

However, Lu Jia, the Prime Minister, can learn from Lu Buwei!
All members of Lu Jia's family intermarried with the royal family. Guess who Zhao Yingqi's first wife was?

Zhao Yingqi's wife was Queen Qin, a noble Han woman, and her son was naturally the crown prince.

However, Zhao Yingqi's first wife was a woman from the Lu family, and the child she gave birth to was the eldest son.

Zhao Yingqi’s first wife was called Cheng. She was not a direct descendant of the Lu family, but her mother was a member of the Lu family, so she was actually also a member of the Lu family.

If something happens to the emperor and the crown prince, the eldest son will naturally take over.

But this is very difficult to implement.

Although Lu Jia has great power now, he cannot move.

To put it bluntly, the Nanyue Kingdom was founded by generals, and the army was in the hands of the emperor himself.

Although Lü Jia was the Grand Tutor of the previous dynasty and the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, it seemed that his deterrence was sufficient, but in fact it was far from enough. If he had been a veteran of three dynasties as in history, he would only be enough for rebellion.

But it was not enough to unite the Kingdom of Nanyue to resist the Han Dynasty.

So no matter what, Lu Jia will lose.

But the problem is that Lu Jia is a very ambitious person and he thinks he can succeed.

After all, the past stories of the Seven Kingdoms are here.

At this time, Lu Jia looked at An Guo Shao Ji meaningfully.

Lu Jia really hoped that An Guo Shao Ji would provoke Zhao Yingqi and let Zhao Yingqi kill him.

In fact, Lu Jia really hoped that An Guo Shao Ji would be brave enough to kill Zhao Yingqi!
You must know that Zhao Yingqi's second son, the crown prince, is less than ten years old. He is too young and has no chance of succeeding to the throne.

Even if he succeeds to the throne, he will be a puppet, after all, the country is in doubt with a young ruler.

As long as Zhao Yingqi died, whether the eldest prince Zhao Jiande took over or the crown prince Zhao Xing took the throne, power would fall into the hands of Lu Jia.

At that time, Lu Jia would fight for power with Queen Qin just like Lu Buwei fought for power with Zhao Ji.

The Lu family had everything figured out by now.

I never expected... that Shao Ji of Anguo was Lao Ai.

History is not a circle, history is a fill-in-the-blank question, and everyone is looking for his or her own position in the blank and filling it in.

They just thought that if they took advantage of the opportunity, they would become a famous figure in history.

But he forgot that he had taken advantage of the opportunity and suffered the same fate.

There is no huge country with five million soldiers hanging over the Qin Dynasty's north side.

However, the Kingdom of Nanyue was facing a huge country with a population fifty times larger than its own.

Lü Jia finally decided to test An Guo Shao Ji: "Will the king go with you?"

Anguo Shaoji walked two steps with Lü Jia calmly, until he reached a place where no one could hear him, and said, "A country cannot be without a king for a day. If the king of Nanyue goes to Chang'an, he will naturally need a prime minister to take charge of the situation, just like the vassal states within the Han Dynasty."

Lu Jia raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Unfortunately, this matter is too difficult to handle. Let's forget it."

An Guo Shao Ji: "How can we know if we don't try?"

He said he wanted to give it a try, but An Guo Shao Ji's fiery eyes almost burned Lu Jia.

After Lü Jia left, he couldn't help but feel proud: "Another Han envoy who wants to make great achievements. He thinks too much."

Only after Lu Jia left did An Guo Shao Ji return to normal.

Lu Jia, an ambitious man with little ability.

This should not be said. It should be said that Lu Jia's ability is enough to be the second-in-command in a country with a population of one million, a second-in-command who cannot grasp the military power.

But if he wants to touch the first place, he is overestimating his own abilities.

……

When Lü Jia arrived at the palace, Zhao Yingqi was drinking porridge.

Seeing Lu Jia coming, he picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and said, "How is it?"

Lu Jia cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the new Han envoy is a greenhorn again."

Zhao Yingqi tapped his chopsticks, picked up another piece of fish, put it in his mouth, and then spoke: "The Han people think highly of themselves. Every Han person wants to make achievements. When such people come to Nanyue, they will definitely want to complete their tasks. However, they don't know that their tasks are impossible to complete."

Lu Jia smiled and said, "Your Majesty is brave and heroic. It is a blessing for the Nanyue Kingdom to have you!"

Zhao Yingqi: "Just keep an eye on Lingqu."

The Lingqu Canal, an artificial river, was built very impressively.

Simply put, it has two rivers and two sluice gates.

One is a natural river and the other is a canal.

By closing the sluice gates of the natural river, the water will flow into the canal and the canal will become navigable.

On the other side, next to the natural river, there is a smaller canal running in the same direction.

Because the Pearl River system and the Yangtze River system are not connected.

Once the army is about to move south, it will need transportation, transportation requires navigation, and navigation requires the repair of the Lingqu Canal.

As long as the Han Dynasty does not repair the Lingqu Canal, the Nanyue Kingdom will not be able to grow any larger.

Unless the Han Dynasty was confident that it could conquer the Kingdom of Nanyue with one-tenth of the Qin army's troops.

Haha, how is that possible?

It’s not like Zhao Yingqi had never been to Chang’an before. He even served in Chang’an as a Yulin Guard.

How could Zhao Yingqi not know the strength of the Han army?
Could it be that during the three years since I, Zhao Yingqi, left, the individual strength of the Han army has increased tenfold?
This is nonsense.

"Tell the court officials to prepare themselves and get ready to receive the imperial edict."

Zhao Yingqi finished his porridge and put down his bowl: "Chang'an, Chang'an, if I were not the king, I would still like to live in Chang'an."

When Zhao Yingqi was young and lived in Chang'an, how could he not miss it?

What's more, he met his own love in Chang'an.

The only regret is that the laws of the Han Dynasty are too strict.

Now in the Kingdom of Nanyue, Zhao Yingqi can kill whoever he wants. If he is in a bad mood, he can just pick someone to chop and he will feel better.

When I was in Chang'an, I couldn't even kill my wife's ex-boyfriend. What a pity.

If Qiu was born in Panyu, she would definitely kill her ex-boyfriend.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yingqi sat in the main hall, waiting for the Han envoy to arrive.

Zhao Yingqi was ready to start running.

As soon as the Han envoy arrived, he would start running the 100-meter race and rush over to receive the imperial edict.

I guarantee that Liu Che would feel proud.

After all, the Han envoys would get nothing at that time. If they received any courtesy, they had to write it in the report, otherwise they would be derelict in their duty.

But you have to cooperate well too.

At this time, the Han envoy walked towards the hall step by step.

"The Han envoy has arrived!"

"The Han envoy has arrived!"

Lü Jia: "Meeting the Han envoy is like meeting the emperor. All officials should kneel to welcome him!"

Kneeling is one thing, and there was no avoiding it in this era, so everyone raised their heads and looked at the Han envoy.

The Han envoy was a young man of the same age as the king.

Holding a pole with a white flag and yellow feathers on it, the Han emperor was reminding the envoys to maintain their integrity. At this time, the envoys represented the Han Dynasty.

It is also a reminder to the other party, see the feathers on the knot? That represents the big man, if you move, you will die.

Zhao Yingqi missed the past. When he was a Yulin Guard, he also wore a helmet with feathers like this.

now……

Zhao Yingqi turned his gaze to the Han envoy's face.

The movement of preparing to kick off running stopped.

What a familiar face!
Zhao Yingqi thinks about this man's face every day.

Zhao Yingqi wanted to kill him every day.

Zhao Yingqi wondered every day why he didn't go to Chang'an a few months earlier, so that he could meet Qiu first and be Qiu's first man. Every time he thought of this face, Zhao Yingqi wanted to kill someone.

At this time, Zhao Yingqi also wanted to kill someone.

His eyes subconsciously swept in front of him, just like when he wanted to kill someone before, he searched directly for a weapon.

But this time his gaze paused.

Anguo Shaoji?

The Emperor of Han did not send An Guo Shao Ji to the border as agreed, but instead sent An Guo Shao Ji to the Kingdom of Nanyue? What did he want to do?!

When Zhao Yingqi was sent back to Nanyue by Emperor Wu of Han to seize the throne, he had only one request, which was to ask Emperor Wu of Han to send An Guo Shao Ji to the frontier so that he could never return to Chang'an.

Zhao Yingqi said to Liu Che at that time, "Your Majesty, I know you value the law. I don't ask you to kill him. I only ask you to send him to the border. His life or death will be up to him. As long as this is your request, I will obey Your Majesty in everything while I am in Nanyue!"
However, why would Liu Che send An Guo Shao Ji to the border?
Liu Che had been training An Guo Shao Ji since the day that An Guo Shao Ji left Qin and the day that Qin and Zhao Yingqi got married in Chang'an.

The best teachers, the best treatment, the best of everything.

Just so that one day An Guo Shao Ji will die for the Han Dynasty.

In the previous life, the deputy envoy Zhongjun who died with An Guo Shao Ji was right next to him at this moment.

Just like in history, Zhongjun volunteered to do the task, leaving behind the allusion of "Qingying".

A few years ago, Zhongjun became a student of the Imperial Academy, and was then summoned into the palace by Emperor Liu Che to become an usher.

Historically, he was supposed to become a counselor and then volunteered.

This time, when Emperor Liu Che sent An Guo Shao Ji as an envoy, Zhong Jun volunteered on the spot.

Liu Che liked brave people and agreed on the spot.

This resulted in the situation where An Guo Shao Ji, a seemingly young middle-aged man, entered the hall with a weak scholar who seemed to be underage.

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhongjun spoke: "General Envoy, they said that you were the lover of the Queen of Nanyue before she became the queen. She doesn't seem to be here today. You must not be very happy without seeing her, right?"

Start at frame O and jump as soon as you get up.

All the ministers were shocked.

What's the difference between this and when you welcome a guest and the first thing they say when they come in is "My wife Diulei"?
Is this true?!

Wait a minute, if the king is gone, and this Han envoy still comes to Nanyue, wouldn’t he be saying to the new king “I am the mother of Diulei”? ? ?
Although they thought so, they didn't dare to say it.

but!

They dare not say it, but Zhongjun dares!

Zhongjun: "I heard that Lord Huo often learns the South Vietnamese accent and likes to say 'Diulei's mother' and 'Diulei's wife'. I don't know if these words are real South Vietnamese accents."

All the ministers were shocked.

I throw a mine!
You dare to say this, do we dare to listen? !

At this time, Zhao Yingqi's face was as gloomy as water.

After Zhongjun finished speaking, Anguo Shaoji tilted his head and said, "Shut up. This is the court of Nanyue. How can we discuss private affairs here?"

An Guo Shao Ji did not deny it, nor did he say that it was wrong to say so. He just said that this was not the right time to say it.

Many ministers looked at Zhao Yingqi.

Zhao Yingqi likes killing people so much, if he doesn't kill people now, when will he kill them?

Zhao Yingqi wanted to kill someone.

He wished he could chop An Guo Shao Ji to death!
But he couldn't chop him down, because An Guo Shao Ji was from Chang'an and a Han Chinese. During the years in the Han Dynasty, Zhao Yingqi didn't dare to do it, and he dared not do it now.

Zhao Yingqi looked at Zhongjun again. Kill him? What's the point of killing him? This boy seemed to be talking without restraint, but in fact he was just here to play the fool.

kill him?

If that happens, I won't be able to kill An Guo Shao Ji, and I will suffer a great loss.

At this time, Lu Jia was also confused.

Good, good, Lao Ai makes his grand appearance!
Moreover, Lao Ai made his debut when King Zhuangxiang of Qin, Yiren, was still alive.

What should I do at this time?
What should he do if the Emperor of the Han Dynasty sends him to Nanyue?
May I ask, if the king dies and the queen gives birth to a child with him, will the child’s surname be Zhao? Can the child inherit the throne and be granted a title of nobility?
Zhao Yingqi laughed out loud.

All the ministers were stunned.

Zhao Yingqi: "Little boy, I heard people say that idioms are popular in Chang'an now. There is an idiom in the "Idiom Collection" called "turning from darkness to light."

"After I appeared, the queen threw herself into my arms. I'm sure that the young envoy of Anguo, Ji Han, must have been thinking about her day and night and was in great pain."

Zhongjun immediately retorted: "There is also a phrase in the idiom collection called 'a pearl cast in the dark'!"

An Guo Shao Ji smiled and said, "It's better not to talk about trivial matters."

As he spoke, An Guo Shao Ji raised his right hand and held the imperial edict in his right hand.

Zhao Yingqi could only quickly walk down the platform and come to An Guo Shao Ji.

Before he even got there, An Guo Shao Ji spoke up: "I heard that the King of Nanyue has always been respectful and would always kneel to receive an imperial decree?"

Zhao Yingqi gritted his teeth and knelt down: "Of course."

If a monarch of another country did this, it would be the end of him and the deterrent power of the court would disappear.

But the king of Nanyue held military power, so he was just acting, so his kneeling was appropriate.

Seeing that Zhao Yingqi was more patient and steady than a few years ago, An Guo Shao Ji opened the imperial edict.

It was the same old story again, inviting Zhao Yingqi to Chang'an for an audience with the emperor.

Zhao Yingqi immediately said: "I am willing to go! But my body won't allow it!"

"I am not in good health. I am afraid I can't go to Chang'an!"

These are the same words that Zhao Yingqi has repeated three times.

But today, there is a supporting actor here.

Zhongjun: "Wow! If your health is not good, then your chance has come again, sir."

You should know that Queen Qin was still the queen of the King of Nanyue at that time.

The Nanyue Kingdom was the third most powerful country in the world, second only to the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty. People in Nanyue felt that the strength of Nanyue was greater than that of Parthia and Bactria.

How can I be humiliated like this?

Some ministers have already stood up and said: "It's absurd, it happens again and again..."

Zhao Yingqi had already stood up and turned his head to look over.

The minister who stood up was speechless and then stepped back.

Zhongjun continued: "I heard people say that South Vietnam is a country of turtles, it's true, and they are turtles who shrink their heads."

"I heard that when a turtle lives long enough, green hair will grow on its back, turning it into a green-haired turtle? Is that true?"

The term "turtle" was a new concept that emerged in the Han Dynasty. It was also known in the Nanyue Kingdom, but it was not popular.

But cuckolding and the like are old sayings, and they know about them too.

Everyone's anger is soaring.

An Guo Shao Ji said nothing and just watched Zhong Jun's performance.

Zhongjun continued: "I wonder how far the king is?"

Why don’t you ask the king if you are the eighth one?
Zhao Yingqi glanced at Zhong Jun and said, "Has the Han Dynasty run out of people? Why are they sending a hairless kid as an envoy?"

Although the respectfulness is acted, compared to violence, the degree of it is slightly lesser if it is not acted.

However, as soon as he relaxed his tension, Zhongjun became excited!

"Does the king know Yan Zi? You are an envoy to a big country, and I am an envoy to a small country."

Of course Zhao Yingqi knew the story of Yan Zi.

He spoke without thinking because he was so angry that he lost his mind. He didn't think about what to say. After he said this, he immediately realized that he might be attacked by using this allusion.

Unexpectedly, what Zhongjun said was not clever at all and had little power.

But I didn’t expect that Zhongjun was a top player in resisting explosive packs.

"I'm a guy who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, but I was sent to a country of turtles where everyone has no balls, hahahaha."

Can these words be written in history books? ! ! !

Some people directly shouted in the Nanyue accent: "How can this be absurd? Taiyi! (Slaughter him)"

Some even shouted in the Vietnamese language: "Your Majesty, turn against them. The Han Kingdom may not be our opponent."

Zhao Yingqi pressed his hand down.

Zhao Yingqi raised the corners of his mouth, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Zhongjun: "The advantage of the tongue."

Then he turned to look at Anguo Shaoji: "Now that the imperial edict has been received, let's talk about personal matters. It's good to be born in the Han Dynasty. A lowly person has transformed into a minister."

"In our Nanyue country, untouchables cannot become ministers."

The ministers were satisfied.

Anguo Shaoji sighed, "Your Majesty, the past is the past. The love between me and Qiu is pure. I won't talk about this relationship that I cherish very much."

"The imperial edict has been delivered. Your Majesty, please consider this."

After saying that, An Guo Shao Ji turned around and left.

From beginning to end, An Guo Shao Ji didn't say much.

At this time, Zhao Yingqi felt that he had been deceived.

What does the quarrel between me and the deputy envoy have to do with Anguo Shaoji? When the queen gets the news later, she will not think that Anguo Shaoji deliberately interfered, but will only think that Anguo Shaoji still values ​​the relationship they had back then.

But everyone who is used to playing politics knows that if An Guo Shao Ji does not agree, would the deputy envoy dare to make a fuss about this?

But women’s brain circuits are not that long.

Instead, I ended up being at a disadvantage.

But on second thought, Zhao Yingqi breathed a sigh of relief.

He has already married his wife and brought her home. What’s the use of An Guo Shao Ji’s instigation?
……

After coming out, Zhongjun did not tell anyone behind their backs, but said in front of the Nanyue guards: "It's a pity that he didn't get provoked to kill me."

"Otherwise he'll see more than just verbal abuse."

The guards of Nanyue Kingdom turned their heads and looked at Zhongjun.

They thought Zhongjun was talking about the sharpness of swords and knives, but they didn't know that Zhongjun was talking about strong ships and powerful cannons.

Qiancheng’s first batch of 60-meter steel-framed ships has begun mass production.

In order to allow more people to become proficient in the operation of ships, there are even a number of ships going out to sea to fish!

Although the development of the ironclad ship over there still needs time, the adapted naval guns in Chengdu have already arrived on the ship.

As long as there is any disturbance in the Kingdom of Nanyue, 60-meter ships can come from the sea and directly enter the Pearl River!
You should know that the Panyu today is not the same as in the future. The entire Panyu is connected to the sea.

To the south of Panyu, as many ships as there are can be docked.

All the warships produced by Qiancheng Shipyard in a year can be parked here!
With each shelling, Panyu was flattened in an instant.

It’s a pity that Zhao Yingqi was very patient and didn’t move at all.

……

An Guo Shao Ji settled down like this, in Panyu.

Not only did they settle down there, they also purchased a large number of houses in Panyu.

The money used in Panyu at that time was half a liang coin. In Panyu, the Han currency was completely unrecognized, and private minting of currency was illegal. Therefore, generally speaking, when Han envoys arrived in Nanyue, they ate and lived in Nanyue's food.

But this time is different.

An Guo Shao Ji brought a lot of gold.

Gold was supposed to be used exclusively by the emperor, but the Nanyue Kingdom did not follow the Han Dynasty's rules.

So the gold here is used by the royal family.

Because gold is rare, its price is extremely high.

What could Zhao Yingqi do? Send someone to arrest An Guo Shao Ji and execute him for misappropriating gold?
Then An Guo Shao Ji could have a reason to execute him for misusing gold.

No matter who wins, the Han army will definitely have a reason to move south.

So, Zhao Yingqi turned a blind eye.

However, after An Guo Shao Ji exchanged the money, he worked hard to buy stalls and stores in the Panyu market, and mainly concentrated on the seafood market.

This is confusing.

Is he still trying to sell fish? Where do they get the fish?
……

On this day, while rowing the boat, Jupo always felt that the direction of the waves was a little strange.

Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from behind.

“Woo~~~~~Boom boom boom!”

Jupo looked back, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped in shock.

A mountain is behind.

To be precise, there is a street hanging high behind you.

After the big thing passed and got closer and closer to Panyu Port, he could see clearly that it was a big ship!
There was a flag on the big ship with the word "Huo" written on it.

The huge ships also welcomed the warships of the Nanyue Kingdom.

The warships of Nanyue were no match for the small frigates, and were no match for the giant steel-framed ships.

The people on top were shouting, but no one on the ship could hear clearly.

The people on the ship held up a loudspeaker and said: "We are a merchant under the command of the great Han Wuhou Huo Hai. We are here to do business in Nanyue. Please allow us to dock."

The person who came on the boat was Lu Bode.

The war in the south requires someone who can take charge. The process of encroaching on the Xiongnu and the Western Regions is at a critical juncture, and neither Wei Qing nor Li Guang can leave.

As for Cao Xiang and Zhao Shiqi, one had seniority but was unlucky while the other was unlucky, neither of them was suitable to be the eldest brother.

The suitable people are Huo Hai, Lu Bode and Gongsun He.

But Gongsun He...is a landlubber.

Huo Hai, a lazy guy.

So, it was Lubod who came.

Lu Bode did not appear as a naval general.

Instead, he began military training in Kuaiji.

Before the training began, we learned that the ship could arrive in a few days at an extremely high speed.

In the future, it may even arrive in three days.

So, Lu Bode took the initiative to board the planned merchant ship and came to Panyu.

They really are here to do business.

Huo Hai knew that the people in Panyu were born with a love for food, so if he wanted to do business, he had to do the catering business.

First bring the excellent catering culture here and let the merchants who come here gain a firm foothold.

Then do something else.

Huo family?

Zhao Yingqi knew the Huo family.

A few years ago, when Zhao Yingqi was still serving as a guard in the Yulin Guard, Huo Qubing was the commander-in-chief of the Yulin Guard.

The current commander of the Yulin Guard is Huo Hai, Huo Qubing's younger brother.

Zhao Yingqi understood that they were the Han Dynasty's in-laws and the royal family.

Come here to do business?
That big ship...

As expected of the Huo family, they are the most extravagant and wasteful.

I heard that Huo Qubing always brought cooks with him when he went to war, and they were imperial cooks.

Now his brother is doing business and he actually has such a big ship on the sea. How much does it cost?

Can he make money from this business?
As for other aspects, no matter how big this ship is, it can only accommodate dozens of people and provide food and drinks for dozens of people when it comes from the sea. Even if the ship is big and fast, it will take a month to come from Kuaiji, and it can only carry about fifty people at most. What can fifty people do?
Could it be that his Huo family or the Han Dynasty built seventy or eighty of these large ships and transported three or four thousand soldiers here? That would be useless!

If he made money? What would he do with the half a catty of money he earned? Would he make it into three-zhu coins and take it back to Chang'an? Wouldn't that be private coinage?

Doesn't this mean we have caught the tail of this royal relative?

Laundering the currency of South Vietnam? Where did they get so many goods? Is this funny?

Zhao Yingqi directly allowed the Huo family to disembark and do business.

Special approval was given that as long as they spent money to buy a store, they were allowed to open a store and sell whatever they wanted.
