Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 861
"It's rare."

Liu Ci was not beaten this time, because Liu Liang explained the reason in time.

Knowing that his son went to visit Xiahou Zao because of Xiahouci, Liu Chang immediately stopped being angry.

He disgustedly asked Liu Liang to take the scorpion away.

Cao Shu was a little surprised, "The stove is still in the period of filial piety, how can you drink alcohol?"

Liu Chang shook his hand, not caring about it at all, he said: "These are things for others, I disdain them, so does Zao. Wait for Zao to rest for a while, I still have important responsibilities to him."

Cao Shu let out a long sigh, and the topic returned to Liu Jie.

"The child chose the most difficult path."

"I don't know if she will be able to bear it in the future. It's really worrying."

But Liu Chang said confidently: "You don't have to worry too much, my daughter, how can you fail to do such a small thing? Besides, the princes and kings can't play a big role today, the key lies in the prime minister, plus Tweet Ling, the vassal state will only become smaller and smaller, the people's identification with the great man will become stronger and stronger, and the exchanges between various places will be closer. The vassal state will not pose any threat to the temple at all. It will take about 50 years, I think Probably not, but I'm sure it will be."

"So I don't worry much about the issue of succession. When Liu Ji's heir comes to inherit the king's title, the princes and kings have already become decorations, and I'm afraid they won't have the slightest influence anymore."

Liu Chang talked about the future trend. The big man in the dream is like this, and the big man today is even more like this. If the idea of ​​​​emphasizing science and technology can continue, the influence of the emperor may be weakened in the future. The downfall, but Liu Chang didn't want to tell Cao Shu about such shocking words, anyway, they would never see that day.

Liu Chang didn't care much about these, because his father didn't care much either.

On this day, Liu Chang's family had dinner in Jiaofang Hall.

All the three wives were present, without any disturbance. Liu Chang ate with the three of them, and when he talked about Liu Jie, it aroused bursts of amazement.

Fan Qing really did not expect that Liu Chang was really going to carry out this matter.

But Yong'e was surprised by the local customs, that a woman is the head of the house?
Liu Chang said with a smile: "It's probably because they didn't have ethics in the past. They only knew their mothers and didn't know their fathers, so they mainly focused on women. However, the position of this place is very important. It cannot be replaced, and in the future, the great Han will not be able to do without this place.”

He also talked about the importance of this place, "The strait in this country is the most convenient passage from Dahan to Shendu, and then to Anxi and other places. This place is needed. In addition, there will be a kind of blood here in the future It is a very important thing, which cannot be lacked in industrialization."

The three ladies were taken aback by what he said.

Fan Qing looked at Liu Chang in disbelief, and said, "I really don't understand how you know so many things. You haven't been a book lover since you were young."

This remark made Liu Chang very useful, and he said proudly: "It's because of my fate!"

Liu Ye came to Zhao Tuo's side at this moment, she really wanted to tell others this important news, Han Xin was not there, of course she had to tell Zhao Tuo first.

Zhao Tuo was sitting in the inner room with his back bent, sighing, his hair and beard were gray and messy, his eyes were cloudy, his hands were trembling, as if he was going to be buried in the ground tomorrow, and when he saw Liu Jie coming, his mental state suddenly Much better, he became a normal old man, very happy to let Liu Ji sit beside him, looking at this face that resembles his daughter, his mood is very complicated, with guilt towards his daughter , Missing her.

He seemed to put all his love for his daughter on Liu Jie. When he looked at her, the pampering and love in his eyes made him completely lack the iron-blooded demeanor of the deputy commander of the 55th army.

In Chang'an, this old man is also an existence that cannot be provoked.

He contributed to Nanyue and educated the local area for many years. He has made great contributions, and at this age, he is the most qualified to be an arrogant and domineering prince. Chao Cuo is not easy to deal with him clearly, but he is cautious and very He knew how to check the situation, and found that Nanyue was not the opponent of the big man, so he immediately took Nanyue to vote. He felt that the queen mother was hostile to him, so he immediately turned into this trembling appearance, enjoying the blessings in Chang'an, keeping a low profile, and never causing any trouble , never getting involved in anything.

People from South Vietnam often wrote letters to him, but Zhao Tuo ignored them. He said that he was old and dizzy, and couldn't see these things clearly, and he couldn't understand them. He ordered them to be sent back intact. ah?

And Temple asked him to ask about Nanyue, and he kept pretending to be stupid. I am an old man, what can I know?

The emperor asked him to teach military science, and he left after teaching for a while, saying to the outside world, I am an old man, what can I teach?
In this era, no one who can live such a long life is a simple person. Without such thoughts and abilities, it is impossible to live to this age.

"Hey, why didn't you send someone to inform you in advance? I didn't even prepare your favorite food to come."

Zhao Tuo was about to stand up and give instructions, but Liu Ji said indifferently, "Father! Sit down now! I have something very important to tell you!"

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Tuo frowned immediately, and put his hand on the scabbard, "Which one without eyes is bullying you again? Tell me, I'll go directly to lie in front of his house, and I'll see him Are you scared!"

Liu Ye immediately let out a silver bell-like laugh, different from Liu Chang's barbell-like laughter, Liu Ye's laughter was still very clear and pleasant.

"Father, who dares to bully me? You are always like this, the king of Nanyue, why do you always think about lying down in front of others?"

Zhao Tuo grinned, this smile looks very familiar, except for Liu Chang's descendants and those who have been with him for many years, only Zhao Tuo and Zhao Shi have such a smile, showing big teeth, very indecent, "You don't understand, this is the best way. If I fight with them, I'm afraid I'll kill them by mistake. I might as well just lie down on the ground and see how frightened they are, wishing to kneel in front of me and let me get up. Look at those Ministers of the DPRK and China, don’t you all hide from me now?”

Liu Jie laughed again, "It's the same, next time I'll lie down too!"

"What are you lying about at your age? Just beat me up. When I was at your age, I even dared to cough my father. Don't talk about it. What big things are you going to tell me?"

Liu Jing squinted his eyes, and his eyes turned into beautiful crescent moons. The little princess didn't look ugly, but Liu Chang was just a bit bigger, and her appearance was quite passable. The one that Emperor Gao likes is not bad in appearance, just like the elder's biological mother, she has a very delicate appearance, but unfortunately she is too tall, taller than ordinary men, which makes men look very stressed, so Unfavorable, but Emperor Gao doesn't care, he likes to try different types.

There is a heroic look in Liu Jie's eyebrows, which may not be acceptable to many people, after all, this face is not soft enough, and it is neutral, but there are also some people who like this kind of woman very much.

Although Zhao Tuo didn't say it clearly, Liu Jie already knew what he wanted to say, and even dared to beat my father!Liu Jie has been in contact with the elder father a lot, and he understands a lot of things in his heart. My father's badness is probably inherited from Emperor Gao, but my father's messiness and recklessness are definitely due to the Zhao family's credit. Emperor Gao is not such a muddleheaded person. Reckless.

Liu Jing said: "Then I'll say it, father, get ready, it's a shocking thing, don't get too excited."

"Hmph, just tell me, I haven't seen anything before."

"That's right, I'm going to be a prince and king."

"cough cough"

Zhao Tuo coughed violently, almost coughing up his lungs. Liu Jie hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back, Zhao Tuo stopped her, "Don't hit you a few more times, I will really be punished." Send it off. You let me take it easy."

Zhao Tuo calmed down, and then asked, "Do you want to become a prince?"

"Father said it, it will be announced soon, and I will be the king of the princes!"

"He's crazy???"

This is what Zhao Tuo first thought of.

His words did not hide his dissatisfaction with Liu Chang at all. Of course he knew what this meant to Liu Jie, how much criticism he would encounter, and how much pressure he would put on her.

Liu Jing was a little unconvinced, "Why do you say that? My father thinks so much of me."

"Where does he want you to go?!"

"Funan Kingdom, wants me to be the Queen of Funan!"

Zhao Tuo suddenly realized.

"Oh that makes sense."

As the king of Nanyue, Zhao Tuo is very familiar with the situation in the vicinity of Nanyue Kingdom, including the situation of Funan Kingdom. Funan Kingdom is not actually a country, but a union of tribes. And they have always had the tradition of taking women as leaders. Zhao Tuo and others were very surprised at the beginning. Zhao Tuo still remembers that when he first settled down in South Vietnam, he had an old brother under his command who was extremely disdainful of this Funan country. He thinks that their men are extremely weak, and they need a woman to command them, expressing that they want to destroy their country.

As a result, the Funan Allied Forces resisted with all their strength. Due to various unfavorable factors such as terrain and logistics, Nanyue finally gave up the crusade plan and chose to withdraw troops. What the old brother met was a female general. The woman led the army to fight against Nanyue. The general of the country fought back and forth, causing the general to be ridiculed after he came back, saying that he couldn't even beat a woman.

And this failed crusade also made Zhao Tuo remember such a strange tribal alliance.

Zhao Tuo knew the customs of the people here, so he also wanted to understand why Liu Chang said that he would make Liu Ye the queen.

This time, Zhao Tuo was not as angry as before.

Zhao Tuo thought of other things, the instability in Nanyue, the Funan Kingdom was going to be separated from Nanyue. This was also one of His Majesty's thoughts.

Zhao Tuo sat down and laughed again, "Your father is indeed not crazy. The situation over there is more suitable for sealing a woman. The Nanyue Kingdom told me in the past that they could not organize the three elders in the local area, because all the respected local These are old women who can't communicate with officials, and they don't want to deal with women. There are many problems in various aspects, um... yes, yes."

Zhao Tuo became energetic in an instant, and he said energetically, "Then go! I will send you to Fengguo! At that time, I will be in Nanyue and you in Funan. I can protect you so that you have no worries."

Liu Jing was even more surprised, "But I heard that it's very remote and the environment is very bad. How can you go there at your age?"

Zhao Tuo laughed loudly, stood up abruptly, drew out his saber, swung a beautiful sword flower on the spot, and then performed a sword dance again, almost turning over in front of Liu Jie, who hurriedly threw him away. stop.

"Okay, okay, I know you're young, you don't have to be."

Zhao Tuo said confidently: "Don't worry, I will come to your father tomorrow, and I will bring this matter to you. Don't worry about anything, just go to the south with me. With my body, I don't need to worry about it." Dare to say that I can beat Liu Chang, but the rest of the generals have to stand aside, at least they have to protect you for 30 years, you don’t have to be afraid of anything!!”

Now, it was Liu Jing's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Father, you don't usually look like this"

"Hahaha, the sword hidden in the scabbard is the sharpest!"

The next day, the genius was dim, and the Nanyue King was already standing in front of the palace gate.

The soldiers immediately surrounded them.

Because the Nanyue king at this moment is actually wearing heavy armor, complete with armor, it doesn't look like he came to pay respects to the emperor, he seems to come to kill the emperor.

Zhao Tuo was not afraid at all, and yelled loudly: "Cao Can came to the palace many times in heavy armor, did he also come to assassinate the emperor? At my age, can I have any disrespectful thoughts towards the emperor? Come report with me!!"

This guy's voice was loud, not like his usual style at all, he was dressed in heavy armor, and his movements were very agile.

Of course, the soldiers did not dare to neglect, and hurried in to report.

Soon, the soldiers came out, and the emperor said, let the old man Nanyue King come in! !
Zhao Tuo swaggered into the palace, and soon appeared in front of Liu Chang. Liu Chang was in a very, very bad mood. No matter who it was, he would be in a bad mood if he was woken up early in the morning. Very good, besides, as a disciple of Han Xin, Liu Chang also learned part of the teacher's fairy routine, and his sleep time is not very stable.

At this moment, Liu Chang looked at Zhao Tuo in front of him angrily, looked at his armor, and asked, "What? You rushed here early in the morning to plot rebellion?"

Zhao Tuo said with a smile: "It's cold, I just use armor to warm my body. I didn't expect it to scare you so much."

"Afraid? Don't talk about yourself, I don't care if you bring a hundred armored men in!"

Liu Chang said disdainfully, and then added, "Of course, I also have to wear armor."

Zhao Tuo didn't get serious with Liu Chang, "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty wants to make the princess the King of Funan, do you know if it's true or not?"

Liu Chang was taken aback, "Oh, did Liu Ji tell you? That's right, there is such a thing."

Zhao Tuo was very happy, "Your Majesty really thought it through!"

"It's the most suitable for Liu Jing to go to Funan. When are you going to let her go to the country?"

"Huh?? There's no rush for the country."

"It's all right, I'm under the protection of the old man, so there won't be any problems. In this way, the old minister has also stayed in Chang'an for a long time. It just so happens that I feel that I am in good health recently. I want to go to South Vietnam for your majesty. Sitting there, didn’t His Majesty say that many things happened in Nanyue earlier, did some people collude with water thieves? When I think of this incident, I can’t sleep at night and can’t eat. This time, I must go to Nanyue to solve this problem for Your Majesty. thing!!"

"There are veterans in South Vietnam, you don't have to worry about anything!"

Zhao Tuo looked very confident, Liu Chang pursed his lips, and looked at the old man in front of him again and again, "You didn't say that in the past, I took great pains to call you here to discuss major issues in South Vietnam, you tell me, you He is just an old man, how can he know the principles of governing the country!"

"I was young and ignorant in the past, please forgive me. However, Your Majesty must let me go back to the country. I will definitely solve all the problems, so that Your Majesty no longer has to worry about things in the south. In addition, things like sea thieves and water thieves are all important. You can leave it to me to take care of it. Well, by the way, there are also things about the Nanyue clan. Dare to have the slightest thought of injustice”

"Hehe, so you came here in armor today, just to show that you still have strength, and you can go to South Vietnam, right?"

Liu Chang understood, but he was still very angry.

"I've been talking all day that I'm about to die, but today I'm wearing heavy armor and roaring at the sky. This is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, and you want to kill your family!"

Zhao Tuo grinned, "It's not that I'm deceiving you. I was really seriously ill before. Later, I hired a doctor to help me treat it. Now I'm just getting better."

"That's all?? You asked Shennong to see a doctor for you, right? From a dying person to cure you like this?"

"Your Majesty, I can write the letter on your behalf. If I write the letter, it will save a lot of trouble, because I know the local customs best, and the officials will not think too much about it. Be vigilant and let them misunderstand. How does His Majesty feel?"

Liu Chang pondered for a moment, "There is also some truth."

"However, can your body really handle it? The journey back and forth, plus the situation over there."

"No problem at all."

"Ruyin Marquis Wu died young because he stayed in Chang'an for a long time and had nothing to do. At my age, if I continue to stay in Chang'an, I will be depressed and hopeless. I'm afraid I won't live long. If you run around and do something, you will live a long life! Therefore, Your Majesty does not have to worry about the situation of the old minister. The old minister is fine, and he will definitely be able to handle this matter for His Majesty!!"

Liu Chang curled his lips, General Xia Houying died young? ?You really dare to say it.
Of course, if Zhao Tuo is really willing to go to Nanyue, it would be a good thing for Liu Chang. This old man is quite capable. State Well, it seems that I really don't have to worry about the issue of leaving the country.

However, at his age, even if he stays by his daughter's side, he probably won't be able to stay by his daughter's side for too long, right? ? ?
