Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 876 The reason for the award

Liu Chang stood on the wall and looked into the distance.

He saw his son's figure gradually getting smaller and smaller, until finally, he disappeared completely.

This is Tongguan, and the guard of Tongguan stood aside in fear, lowered his head, and kept wiping the sweat off his face.

Liu Chang's mood is really a bit complicated. Ever since he just learned to walk, this man has always annoyed him, always making him angry. For more than ten years, he has been used to the daily routine of beating his youngest son. He often chanted , to send this guy to the most remote place, to throw this guy to a place where he will never be seen again.

This sentence finally became true.

The Kingdom of Xia is located in the northernmost part of the Han Dynasty, and as the King of Xia, he has to travel back and forth all year round in the Kingdom of Xia. If he wants to meet again, it will really be many years later.

Liu Chang raised his head and sighed.

Lu Lu stood quietly aside, not disturbing Liu Chang at the moment.

"Lu, do you think this Zhuzi will be escorted back to Chang'an in a prison car?"

"Well, it shouldn't be possible."

Lu Lu was not too sure. After all, everyone knew what the king was like. At the banquet before leaving, he even dared to ask for him openly, wanting him to go to Xia Kingdom. Liu Chang was so angry that he almost I'm going to beat him up.For such a vassal king, he really didn't dare to guess what would happen in the future, he just asked not to be like King Zhao, just be a normal vassal king, even if it was a little fatuous.

Liu Chang stopped staring at the distance, turned around and walked down from here. Lu Lu hurriedly followed, and the two returned to the carriage. The carriage was driving all the way to the interior of Chang'an. Be careful, don't run into the Taiwei."

Lu Lu was a little moved, "Your Majesty doesn't want the Taiwei to see me so sad, right? In terms of filial piety, it really depends on Your Majesty. The great man governs the country with filial piety, and His Majesty is really the master of the great man."

Liu Chang pursed his lips, "No, it's mainly Chang'an City Construction, and his mansion is also within the scope of demolition. I'm afraid he will block it."

Lu Lu's eyes widened, "The Taiwei's mansion will also be demolished??"

"It's very fair that most buildings in the city have to be demolished. It's not just Taiwei who needs to be demolished. I don't know why he is so angry."

"Your Majesty, the Taiwei only has two mansions in total. One mansion was demolished by you to become Shang Fang, and now the only remaining one is also demolished by you. Can he not be angry?? That is to say, the Taiwei has a much better temper now. , if you return it to me."

Liu Chang narrowed his eyes, "What do you want?"

"Of course I have fully cooperated with His Majesty, but, Your Majesty, please listen to my advice, we can bully people, but we can't bully people like this, Emperor Gao dare not bully Taiwei like this, dignified Marquis of Huaiyin, you make him homeless It’s okay, this will be infamous for thousands of years!!”

Liu Chang said seriously: "How could he be homeless? It's not that he won't be compensated! I arranged a place for him in advance and didn't let him sleep on the street!"

"Then he really dares to thank you!"

Lu Lu said unhappily, and asked again: "Where does His Majesty let him live?"

"Oh, let him live in the Nanyue Palace."

Lu Lu slapped himself hard on the forehead, "Forget it, let's hide and go."

Liu Chang's face was full of smiles, "The two of them will work together in the southwest in the future, so it's good to take this opportunity to increase their relationship with each other. Maybe they are discussing the art of war and talking about water It's a joy to talk about the military affairs!"

"There are not many people of their age. They will definitely become good friends!"

Inside the Nanyue Palace.

"You old dog!!"

I saw the two old men wrestling, fighting on the ground, completely disregarding each other's identities, punch after punch, the soldiers around did not dare to approach at all, just watched this scene anxiously.

"Come here!! The King of Nanyue and the Marquis of Huaiyin are fighting!!"

The soldiers could only keep calling.

Although Zhao Tuo was old, his martial strength was really not low, and he was pressed under Han Xin in minutes. Han Xin was much younger than Zhao Tuo, and he still had the strength to struggle and resist.

Zhao Tuo was very angry at the moment, "You come to live in my mansion, and you still come to insult me?! Can the world still find such a bad guest like you?"

"The whole big man was shot down by me! You live in Chang'an now, you are the guest!!"

Just when the two were about to continue fighting, Zhao Tuo's old butler came up and ordered the soldiers to separate the two. The two sat on the ground panting in front of them, and they looked at each other with unkind eyes.

Zhao Tuo patted the dust on his clothes, and couldn't help complaining: "You should stop your temper, how old are you, and you still engage in sneak attacks?"

Han Xin snorted coldly, "I just can't see you bragging about martial arts all day long!"

The reason why the two fought was actually very simple, it was because they sat together to discuss the art of war.

Han Xin is actually very cold and never debates with others. If others do not recognize him, he will say with disdain: Yes, yes, yes.

He is too lazy to let fools accept his ideas, but this does not include the art of war. In military affairs, Han Xin has his own persistence. He firmly believes that everyone except himself is trash.

Zhao Tuo was discussing with him about the navy. Zhao Tuo made Han Xin furious just because Zhao Tuo said a few more words and didn't agree with Han Xin's ideas. , Zhao Tuo had just explained a few words, Han Xin was about to beat him up, Zhao Tuo himself was dumbfounded, and could only fight in a hurry.

Since letting go of his knots, Han Xin has become a lot more open-minded. In the past, he would never have done such a thing.

Both of them seemed to have calmed down at this moment. Zhao Tuo said, "I still can't understand that the navy is just as many ships as possible? This navy is based on ships."

Han Xin hurriedly interrupted him, "Stop talking, if you continue, I'm afraid I can't help but fight with you again, you can't understand, it's because you are too stupid, too stupid, not because of my problem, no problem, You don’t have to listen to me, you can do what you do in South Vietnam, and get more ships, the more the better, I will follow my way in Funan, and then we can see whose navy is more brave , how, do you want to try it?"

At this moment, Zhao Tuo suddenly flinched, "Forget it, let's take it as what you said is right."

"It's not just, what I said is right! The establishment of the navy should not be too bloated. It is necessary to allocate ships reasonably and deploy them in terms of reconnaissance, firepower, handover, and pursuit. Your understanding is simply ridiculous. You You can try it, you lead a hundred big ships, I lead fifty big ships and fifty ships of different purposes, if I don’t destroy your ship, I will follow your surname!”

Zhao Tuo said unconvinced: "If you come to be the commander, even if the ship is twice as small as mine, of course you can win."

"Then we can find two generals of comparable level to try. No wonder you can only stay in the mountains and forests of South Vietnam all your life, and you are too scared to come out by Xiang Yu hahaha, and you dare to claim that you have an army of 50, just you Chaotic organization, I only need 10 people, and I can wipe you out. If you meet Xiang Yu, it will be even more unbearable. Xiang Yu can behead you with 3 people, but this is not because Xiang Yu is stronger than me The reason is just because our tactics are different, as long as he kills you, I will wipe you out!"

Zhao Tuo shrugged and didn't express much to Han Xin's words.

This guy will indeed become very excited when he talks about the art of war, especially when he is looked down upon.

"When are you going to leave?"

"Wait another year, at least set up a mansion in Chang'an!!"

As Han Xin was talking, he suddenly became excited again, "This Shuzi is not a human being!! I was lying at home well, and suddenly a lot of people broke in, saying that my mansion was going to be demolished. I read the imperial edict Ling, my generation is going to be demolished and rebuilt, I am not reluctant, but, should I be notified in advance if it is going to be demolished and rebuilt?? My mansion has been destroyed by this vertical tree, and there is nothing left. Only the empty mansion was left, and now even the mansion has been demolished by him. And he did it on the same day!!"

Han Xin's tone was particularly sad and indignant.

Zhao Tuo also hurriedly said: "What is this? I have moved three times in Chang'an. Every time I moved, he brought someone to help. After he finished helping, the things in the house were always reduced by half!"

"The day before yesterday, he asked me to keep you in the mansion. I agreed, and he was about to reward me with a saber. I saw that saber was actually the one I used to wear. Why did I say it was missing!! "

The two old men complained about Liu Chang together for a long time, and then they talked about Liu Jin.

"It's still the best, not like his father!"

"In these days, she has been learning the principles of governing the country from Liu Heng. In fact, that's right. That guy in Wu Guo is really difficult to deal with. I have been in South Vietnam for a long time, and I am most familiar with his work. , has always been watertight"

"Well, help her calm down the local area first, and let's talk about governance after the calm down."

When Liu Chang returned to the Hall of Houde in fear, fortunately, the Taiwei was not here to guard him.

Guarding him are Liu An and Liu Liang.

Liu Chang breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the upper seat, and the two sons hurriedly paid respects.

Before Liu Liang opened his mouth, Liu Chang said first: "If you are also looking for me for the affairs of the country, then don't open your mouth. I will not allow you to go to the country. You are not yet old enough to go to the country. , You still have a lot to master and a lot to learn, going to the country now will harm the local people.”

Liu Liang was speechless immediately, looking lonely.

It is true that he came here this time for the affairs of the country. Even his younger brother has left for the country. As the elder brother, he naturally has no reason to stay in Chang'an.

Unfortunately, Liu Chang didn't give him a chance to speak.

Liu Liang was much more well-behaved than Liu Ci and the others. He didn't refute Father, but said seriously: "I see."

Liu Chang has always loved this third son very much. Looking at his face, he reluctantly let him approach him, then took his hand, and said softly: "Liang, this is not because I despise you or look down on you. , I know your talent, you are sincere, and there are many people who follow you, but this Beidi is different from Xia, Beidi is the most important official horse farm of Dahan, and there are more than 30 war horses here, the location is very important , There are a lot of things to deal with, and it is completely different from Xia, you have to do a lot of things when you go there, I am worried that you will be very tired when you deal with it."

"Besides, Bo is gone, and Ci is gone. If you go too, wouldn't there be no son by my side? I also want to have a son by my side!"

Liu Chang said softly.

Liu An pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but sighed and shook his head.

As an outsider, it's better not to destroy the beautiful picture of father, kindness and filial piety in front of you.

Liu Chang fondled Liu Liang's head, "I will find some more people to accompany you. You have to study hard, and you can go to the country in one year at the latest."

Liu Liang agreed, then bid farewell to father and elder brother, turned and left Houde Hall.

Only then did Liu Chang look at Liu An, "Has the matter of the Three Kingdoms in the Northwest been resolved?"

"Haven't just issued an edict"

"What about the aftermath of the locusts?"

"Already contacted Xiang Luan"

"What about the canal to the south?"

"I"

Liu An saluted Liu Chang again, "Father, I'll take care of it now."

Liu Chang remembered something, and his face softened a little, "An, you have to understand that you are different from your younger brothers, they can do what they want to do, they can also neglect their studies, and relax once or twice, but you No, in the future, the entire empire will fall into your hands, you will face the most difficulties, and your responsibilities will also be the greatest. I am asking you this now because I want you to train yourself as soon as possible and meet you again in the future. Seeing such a thing, even without me, you won't find it difficult."

"If I indulge you now, one day, you will get drunk and sit in front of my coffin and cry secretly, crying about the difficulty of governing the country."

Liu An was a little dazed, "Father doesn't need to explain."

"When I was young, I always didn't understand why my father was so strict with my second brother. It wasn't until later that my father was gone that I suddenly realized. He was too indulgent to me. After he passed away, I didn't understand many things. I will do it, so I will take the jug and secretly cry in front of my father's spiritual tablet, I don't want to leave at all."

Liu An was at a loss for what to do. He usually had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, but now he didn't know what to say.

Liu Chang gave him an approving look, "You are much stronger than I was back then. When you succeed to the throne, you will definitely not be tortured like me."

Liu An's eyes turned red, and he saluted suddenly, "Thank you, Father."

"Okay, let's go, your brother is gone too. Well, when I was young, I just wanted to go to the frontier, shroud in horse leather, at least, he can do it for me."

Liu An looked at the nagging father, and for some reason, his heart was full of bitterness. Under the sunlight, he saw that his temples were graying, and although his eyes were still so bright, they said Endless vicissitudes.

While chattering, someone suddenly broke in and was about to speak, but when he saw Liu An at the side, he stopped immediately and stood aside without saying a word.

It was Zhang Budo who came.

When Liu Chang saw Zhang Buyi, he immediately stopped recalling, and waved casually at Liu An, "Okay, Shuzi, go and deal with you! Don't bother me!"

I saw Zhang Buyi approaching my father with a smile, and hurriedly said something in a low voice.

A smile suddenly appeared on Father's face, the vicissitudes of life just disappeared, as if it was just Liu An's illusion, he couldn't wait to stand up, pulled Zhang Buyi and rushed away from Liu An, his skills were so vigorous, Liu An couldn't help but chuckled.

The two rushed out of the inner hall, Liu Chang was still very happy.

"Is it true?? Really lethal??"

"Of course it's true! The damage is not small. Shang Fang has done several experiments, all of which were successful. The shells fired were so powerful that they directly shot through the wall."

The two got into the car, and hurriedly walked towards Shangfang Mansion.

Zhang Buyi brought the good news of Shangfang, that is, the successful research and development of the artillery. Today's artillery is not the same thing as the later artillery. It just uses gunpowder as the power to shoot iron bullets out to hurt the enemy, but even so It's simple, and there are too many places where it can be used. Among other things, the navy alone can increase its combat effectiveness several times because of this thing. This is what Liu Chang has always wanted. Moreover, This first machine is made, are you afraid that it will not be strengthened in the future?After strengthening several times, who can stop the big man? ?
Get a few city walls on the side of Shendu, and see if the Parthians dare to attack!
When they arrived at Shangfang, Chen Tao had already led the crowd to wait.

Liu Chang tested the power of the artillery on the spot. Well, the shot was a bit sideways, the aim was not very good, and the power was not as Liu Chang thought. Handy Catapult?

Liu Chang immediately canonized several craftsmen in charge of research and development as Chehou, and rewarded them with food, money, fancy clothes and so on.

Many craftsmen expressed their gratitude, but Liu Chang was still stroking the cannon.

His eyes were full of excitement, and he couldn't help but said to Chen Tao who was on the side: "If this thing can be made into an explosive bomb, or a flying bomb, how high can the damage be?"

"It still needs to be improved slowly, and it will be done sooner or later."

Liu Chang was very happy. He hurriedly looked at Zhang Buyi at the side, and seriously ordered: "Publish the rewards of these people, praise them in the newspapers, and then send people to watch them. If anyone dares to insult them, If you dare to object, say that I am obsessed with these things, do not do business properly, or ask Shang Fang why he can get rewards, you let Shang Fang pull the cannon to their mansion, fire a few shots at their mansion, and tell them that this is what Shang Fang can do. The reason for the reward!!"

Zhang Buyi looked very serious, keeping Liu Chang's words in his heart.

"The minister must do it!!!"
