Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 290: My Great King Barbarian

"King!!!"

The ministers bowed in front of Liu Chang, looking terrified.

"The king has not yet ascended the throne, why did he start to build the imperial tomb?"

"What's more, it is still built in Hexi. Hexi is far away, how can it be finished?"

During the court meeting, when they heard that Liu Chang wanted to build the imperial mausoleum in Hexi, the ministers couldn’t sit still. Building the imperial mausoleum itself was no problem, but repairing it in Hexi was a big problem. It is huge, and looking at the posture of the king, this imperial mausoleum is afraid that it will be on par with the king of Qin. Isn't this the demise of the big man to be repaired?
"Your Majesty, are you trying to destroy my big man?"

"Your Majesty has exhausted his troops! The treasury has almost no food, and now he has to use the people's power to build the imperial mausoleum for himself? Is the king worrying that the Han Dynasty will not perish by misusing the people's power? As a precaution, you can't abuse the power of the people like this!"

When Liu Chang heard this, he immediately looked at Liu Jing who was beside him.

Liu Jing stood up and said seriously: "It's not that the construction is about to start immediately, it's just to prepare for the construction of the imperial mausoleum. First, build a few cities and prepare some materials and manpower. I will be responsible for it, gentlemen. no need to worry."

"So it's you, the traitor!"

Zhou Chang looked at Liu Jing angrily, and scolded: "You... this... this traitor! It turns out that you are here to confuse the king!"

Zhou Chang got up immediately and rushed towards Liu Jing, fortunately, Zhang Budo blocked him in time, Zhang Budo sternly reprimanded, "How could you be so rude before Your Majesty?! "

"A group of traitors! A group of traitors!"

Zhou Chang cursed, but Liu Jing was indifferent, he said calmly: "This is the old system, and Emperor Gao used to be like this, why not?"

"Emperor Gao didn't build the imperial mausoleum so far! Nor did he abuse the power of the people!"

"It's not there now. For the Emperor's Mausoleum, this is a blessing in the world."

Liu Jing didn't care about these ministers at all, and said seriously: "I am ready, and I will immediately issue an edict, ordering the virtuous people in the world to go to Hexi, build the city, and prepare to build the imperial mausoleum for the king. Let them guard it. The imperial mausoleum, this is the greatest gift."

As soon as Liu Jing's words came out, everyone knew that he was going to kill pigs again.

I don't know why, Liu Jing always had trouble getting along with those big clans, so he killed the old nobles and the new tyrants, saying it was a gift, but it was actually raiding their homes, moving them to the edge of the imperial mausoleum, letting them settle here, and letting them completely Losing his local control and financial resources, Liu Jing is probably the most hated minister by the wealthy in the world.

In the eyes of everyone, Liu Jing, who lacks great virtue, does not give the local tyrants the slightest way to survive.When a batch of local tyrants appeared, they were harvested, which made the tyrants in the early Western Han Dynasty live a particularly miserable life. Until an emperor who did not want to reveal his name and did not love the world and eunuchs abolished this system, and the local tyrants gradually became larger. Then it gradually became the ghost of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Lou Jing! You, this villain, when you were fighting with foreign countries, you were always opposed to it, proposed to have a relationship, and loved Modun so much, yet how could you be so harsh on the Han people?!"

"Hehe. Harsh? This is a gift. Only with such a gift can the people live a good life."

The ministers were boiling and opposed.

Liu Chang squinted his eyes. He had already realized that something was wrong. When my father wanted to implement this policy, these people were very supportive, and even helped to go to the aristocratic clan. How come they don't agree now?
Very simple. Because they are now aristocrats.

The heirs, relatives, and even servants of the original founding heroes all had strong local power. The group of heroes who followed Emperor Gao to pacify the world of treacherous people are gradually moving in the direction of treason. .

Liu Chang looked at Chen Ping with a smile, "What do you think of Chen Hou?"

Chen Ping never expected that the king would push himself out under the circumstances of Liu Jing taking the blame. However, he could also understand the meaning of the king, and the ministers were not afraid of Liu Jing.

Sure enough, when Liu Chang asked Chen Ping, the ministers immediately quieted down and looked at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "If the king is going to build the imperial mausoleum now, there is no savings in the court, but if the king is just making preparations and wants to build it later, then there will be no problem. Zhou Xiang. , The land of Hexi is a treasure land, and it would be better to be an imperial mausoleum here, right?"

Zhou Chang was stunned for a moment, and wanted to scold a few words, but suddenly remembered something, and suddenly realized.

"Chen Hou is right."

"If it's just a preparation, that's fine."

Chen Ping's reminder made Zhou Chang immediately understand that building the imperial mausoleum is just an excuse. The purpose is to enrich the population of Hexi. If you want to enrich the local population, you can't forcibly migrate. What are the consequences of forced migration? Qin is already very good. interpretation once.

Zhou Chang did not have the courage to repair the imperial mausoleum, but Zhou Chang had the courage to relocate the tyrants to enrich Hexi by repairing the imperial mausoleum, and it was very big.

Zhou Chang's mind was obviously a grade lower than that of Chen Ping. When Chen Ping kicked the pot to him, Zhou Chang took it unprepared.

"Your Majesty, as long as you don't abuse the power of the people."

Liu Jing said: "I have done things a few times before, and I have never abused people's power."

The ministers were dumbfounded as they watched Zhou Chang fall towards Liu Jing, and then spoke again to persuade him.

Liu Chang was angry.

"Husband Zhao Wang, who has no merits and virtues, does not succeed in writing, does nothing in action, accomplishes nothing, is ashamed of my father, but still dares to build a mausoleum for himself in Handan, rule the world with a few people, and defeat the Xiongnu, can't we prepare the emperor for himself? Mausoleum?"

"Anyone who dares to dissuade them will go to Hexi to build a mausoleum for the widow!"

Liu Chang made a decision, and the ministers were not convinced, but they did not dare to persuade them. In the end, they could only leave in despair, but Liu Chang only left Liu Jing.

"Father Zhong, you don't need to pay attention to these people, just follow your own thoughts. The list of places is also up to you to decide this aspect. You still have experience."

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

Liu Jing asked again, "Your Majesty, what should be the name of your imperial mausoleum?"

"The widow has already thought about it! It's called Bang Ling!"

Liu Jing looked at Liu Chang in amazement, "Your Majesty, you must avoid Emperor Gao. You can't take this name."

"Fuck! Grandpa's tomb can be called Changling, but mine can't be called Bangling?"

"How can there be such injustice in the world?"

Even the unsmiling Liu Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly at what Liu Chang said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Gao is a father, you are a son, how can this be compared?"

"Oh, it's called An Ling."

Liu Jing finally laughed lightly, "Okay, since the king has decided, it will be called An Ling."

Liu Chang looked at Liu Jing next to him, and felt that he had re-acquainted with him. In the past, Liu Chang really hated this fellow, because this fellow was always opposed to his expedition, and he even talked about kissing out loud, which was really annoying. He was disgusted. Later, he had some changes in Liu Jing, but he was still very disgusted. Until now, he felt that although the person in front of him was a little cowardly, he was not bad.

"I see that you have no fear in the face of a group of ministers today. Why did you object to going out to fight in the past?"

Liu Jing pondered for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty doesn't know anything about me, and I am guarding the soldiers."

"Ok?"

"My subject is from Louyi, Qi State. His family is poor, he has no means of making a living, and he has been humiliated. The elders of the clan taught me the book. Later, because of his poverty, he was driven by others."

Liu Jing talked about the past seriously, while Liu Chang sat beside him obediently and listened carefully to his story.

"Few people know about the suffering of the garrison. After several battles, all the fellow villagers died in battle. When they returned to their hometown, their parents had already passed away."

"I can understand the suffering of soldiers. But sometimes, it is impossible to fight without fighting."

"Yeah. But fighting also depends on the situation in the country. Without food, horses, or weapons, we sent troops to fight in a moment of anger. How many lives would this cost?"

"The generals in the DPRK, many people just want the title. Even if the big man is maimed, they won't care. Your Majesty, you don't know that in the time of Emperor Gao, the big man did not have the strength to fight against the Xiongnu. If it is not like this, the people at the border will suffer, the soldiers will suffer, and the world will be in danger.”

Liu Chang stroked his chin, "Actually, I know. When I was very young, I followed my mother to travel around the world. I knew what the world was like at that time."

Liu Jing said disdainfully: "The local aristocrats often start their business by plundering the wealth of their fellow villagers. They are extravagant, and they never care about the lives of others. Harmful!"

Liu Chang has not suffered from the garrison, nor has he been bullied by a wealthy family.

But he could understand Liu Jing's thoughts very well, because he was in Qi and had seen the people who were bullied by the Si family, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Father Zhong is right, but since Father Zhong knows that he can't be happy and angry. As for the principles of warfare, you should also know that you can’t govern politics with joy and anger, and I hope Father Zhong will investigate carefully and not implicate innocent people.”

"only!"

Liu Jing immediately said: "It's just that the king has suffered. Your Majesty has abolished this order, and you are not allowed to mention it. Now that the king has re-implemented it, I'm afraid that people in the world will criticize the king more."

"My brother has a good heart. He is kind to everyone. He doesn't want to force others to leave his homeland. I'm not a wicked person. However, if I don't remove them, I don't know how many people will starve because of them. If people in the world criticize them, let them criticize them. Bar!"

"Anyway, I don't dare to criticize the widow in front of the widow, and I'm not afraid of carrying anything else."

"Your Majesty is the King of Shengming."

"Hahaha, widows can't listen to flattery, but don't say that again."

"I'm not flattering. I have played to Your Majesty many times before, and His Majesty even advised me to study so that I would no longer be immersed in my old hatred."

Liu Jing shook his head, his face was full of bitterness, Liu Chang didn't know what to say for a while, just said seriously: "It's okay, just do things well!"

Finally, after explaining everything, Liu Chang ushered in a period of leisure.

Liu Chang immediately appeared in the Tang palace, and the sages came to hear the wind.

However, the number of sages who are still in Chang'an today is not much.

"Your Majesty, my second brother is about to become a marquis, and my eldest brother can also be a general, but I can't accomplish anything."

Zhou Jian shook his head, his face full of bitterness.

Lu Chong kindly comforted: "Don't be sad. Both of your elder brothers have been made marquis. When your grandfather dies, won't you inherit his title?"

"You are fighting, aren't you?!"

Zhou Jian was no longer the kid who was looking forward to the death of his father and two older brothers, and he was going to beat Lu Chong.

"Hey, the worst thing is me, you are all officials now, Yafu, they are all lords, and I'm still in Taixue!"

The people of Fan City sighed, eyes full of helplessness.

"Who asked you to worship Duke Fuqiu as a teacher, we are all eager to get out of Taixue, and you are still flattering Duke Fuqiu all day long, blame yourself!"

Xuan Moru scolded disdainfully.

Liu Chang was taken aback for a moment, "City people? Do you worship Lord Fuqiu as your teacher??"

"Yeah. Duke Fuqiu said that he wanted to pass on my poems. Unless the teacher is gone one day, I'm afraid I will always study with him."

"Hahaha, if Marquis Wuyang knew that his son was going to be a great scholar, do you think he would beat you to death?"

The people from Fanshi shook their heads, "Father who doesn't know, really wants us to study."

Liu Chang looked at the few sages around him and sighed, "Alas, in Chang'an, we are the only ones left."

"Your Majesty, what kind of prince do you want to seal your brother?"

Zhou Jian interrupted Liu Chang's emotion and asked curiously.

"Yafu is named chicken marquis, Lu is named sheep marquis, and stove is named overturned marquis"

Guan A said with a smile.

"Fart, in the future, let the king seal you a grain thief!"

Zhou Jian was very dissatisfied.

"I'll give you a title of Xiaohou!"

Everyone laughed. When Liu Chang heard what Guan A said, his addiction was hooked up and he couldn't help swallowing, "After coming back, I don't seem to have time to visit my uncle and Zhou's house. Do we have to visit? some time?"

"Your Majesty, we are all going to be my father. Wouldn't it be a little bit more to steal sheep and chickens?"

"No problem, we are not suitable to do it, then find a suitable one to do it. My Yuzi is very good, let him steal it, and then we can justifiably snatch it back!"

"Well, let's go by ourselves."

"Brother."

Hu Tu leaned over and saluted, and Ji Conge, who had disappeared in front of everyone for a long time, appeared in front of Hu Tu with a smile.

When he heard that his brother had only brought four people and came to see him, Hu Tu was dazed and shocked, and immediately led the generals out to greet him.Ji Conge lifted his younger brother, took his hand, and asked earnestly, "Second brother, haven't you been hurt?"

Hu Tu was speechless for a moment, feeling a little guilty for no reason, he shook his head, "I'm fine"

"That's good."

Ji Conge smiled, took Hu Tu's hand, and walked into the tent.

Hutu's generals were stern at the moment, staring at Ji Conge, as if they were about to attack him in the next moment. After Da Gu's death, no one could fight against Ji Conge again, and Hu Tu's clan was fighting against Ji Conge. Congee is obviously not enough to see in front of him, and he is not his enemy at all. At this moment, seeing Ji Cong coming alone, several generals have different thoughts in their hearts.

Hu Tu asked Ji Porridge to sit in the upper seat, Ji Porridge did not refuse, and naturally sat down, and Hu Tu sat beside him.

And this scene made the generals of Hu Tu very dissatisfied, and some even snorted and put their hand on the handle of the knife.

Ji Conge turned a blind eye, and held Hu Tu's hand cordially, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. I'm relieved to see you are so strong."

Ji Porridge greeted warmly, but Hu Tu was restless.

The generals stared straight at Ji Conge, and looked at Hu Tu from time to time. Now that Ji Conge is killed, Hu Tu will have no opponents, and will be able to directly inherit the position of Da Chan Yu, and no one can compete with him anymore. .

The protective coating seems a little tangled and absent-minded.

"Second brother, I came this time and brought you a gift."

Ji Conge said, he waved his hand, and immediately someone walked in with a set of armor, Hu Tu looked at the armor, a little dazed.

"This is my father's armor. I'm going to give this to you. You will be in the position of Da Chanyu, and I will assist you."

"what??"

Hu Tu widened his eyes, "Brother, what do you mean?"

"Second brother, grandfather is gone, and even the Dragon City was lost to the Han people. Hexi was also lost. If we continue to fight at this moment, the Huns will really perish. As long as this useless struggle can be ended, I am willing to Taking you as the big one, we will go west and take the Western Regions to gain a foothold. There are many small countries there, and it is not difficult to take them down."

Ji Conge was very sincere, but Hu Tu was hesitant at the moment, unable to speak.

"Your Majesty, don't let him be deceived by him! He just wants to deceive you and kill you again!"

The general Hu Tu couldn't hold it any longer and said loudly.

Ji Cong smiled, "I never thought of killing my brother, I can swear to the sun, moon, heaven and earth, I have never had such a thought. If you want this position, I will give it to you, and I will never kill you. .The two of us, brothers, uphold the legacy of our father and revitalize the Xiongnu."

"Big brother. I. I was deceived by the Han people. I thought you were going to kill me, so I wanted to kill you first."

Hu Tu got up and said seriously: "The Han man was arrested by me, please let me go!"

"My clan is too weak to lead the Xiongnu now. It's better for my eldest brother to be the big Shanyu. I will be the King of Zuo Xian. When the eldest brother dies, just leave the position to me."

"Your Majesty!!"

The generals cried.

Hu Tu glared at them and said, "I have made up my mind!"

Ji Cong also stood up again, "Well, since you think so, then do as you said, I will be the big danyu, you will be the Zuo Xianwang, if I die, then you will be the big chanyu! "

"By the way, that envoy of the Han Dynasty, bring it here for me to see."

"it is good!"

When Lu Jia appeared in the tent and saw Ji Porridge sitting in the upper position, he secretly thought to himself.

He grinned, "This is Ji porridge? I heard that you sent someone to inform my king and ask my king to be the chief clerk to come here this time. It won't be a repeat of the same trick, asking Hu Tu to serve as the chief clerk. Bar?"

"Hahaha, what a Chinese envoy, come here, let him go and give him a drink!"

Ji Conge said, Hu Tu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Big brother! This person can speak well! He can deceive people the most! You can't listen to him!"

Ji Cong looked at the younger brother who was about to stretch out his hand to block his ears, and smiled helplessly, "Hu Tu, put your hand down, I won't be deceived by him."

Lu Jia was not polite, and sat proudly among the crowd, "Of course you will not be deceived by me. In terms of eloquence and ability, who can compare to you? Hu Tu is a simple person. Sooner or later they will all die in your hands."

The expressions of the surrounding generals changed greatly and frowned.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly came and whispered a few words to Hu Tu.

Hu Tu was taken aback, "Brother, King Tang has sent someone here again."

"Oh? Let him in!"

Soon, a big Han armoured soldier was bound by the Huns and brought back to the tent.

The armored soldier looked at the few people in front of him seriously and said loudly, "My king has a letter, and I want to give it to your king!"

Someone handed the letter to Hu Tu, who reluctantly handed the letter to Ji Conge and asked Ji Conge to translate it for himself.

Ji Conge watched for a while, his face changed greatly, and he threw the letter to the side angrily.

"I heard that the Han people value filial piety and respect benevolence and righteousness. Why do they use my dead grandfather to blackmail us? What is the reason?! Could it be that the king of Tang couldn't even hold a dead enemy? He still wanted to touch his grave? Is this what a gentleman does?!"

The Soldier grinned.

"My king, the barbarians, don't know the etiquette!"
