Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 316 Don't move, move and destroy the country!
"Hahaha, ignorant, eat slowly!"

Liu Chang said with a smile.

Zhao Shi frowned and reprimanded: "Be careful of choking! I don't eat as much as you do, how can I be?!"

Zhao Mei raised his head, and there were 1 things he wanted to say in his heart, but you two were eating and drinking outside, I was in the cold wind for a few days in the courthouse, and you still want to reprimand me? ?

That is to say, Zhao Mei has a good personality and is stable, otherwise he would have been scolded long ago.

Facing his son's gloomy gaze, Zhao Shi couldn't scold him any more, he just put a few pieces of meat in front of him, "See what I do, eat it! Eat it!"

It can be seen that Zhao Mei was indeed starved, and quickly ate up the meat in front of him. He wanted to eat, but was stopped by Liu Chang. He was hungry for a long time and suddenly gluttonous, which was very bad for his body.Zhao Mei sighed and asked, "Why did my father forget me with Tingwei?"

"It's not forgetting me, it's intentionally sharpening you."

Zhao Shi hurriedly started to make up nonsense, and Liu Chang of course also cooperated very well.

In order to change the subject, Liu Chang said with a smile: "My father was originally unwilling to leave, but I persuaded you several times, you know, the widow used the allusion of Meng's mother over the wall, and he was willing to come out."

"Mother Meng climbed the wall??"

Zhao Mei was stunned for a moment,
"It's Mother Meng! This fellow does not read much"

Zhao Shi reminded unhappily.

Zhao Mei was stunned for a long time, and asked uncertainly, "You mean Zeng's mother cast the dagger??"

"It's not important. Cough, what's important is that we're going to travel soon, and we're going to take a cruise in Jiangnan! How is it? Are you excited? We're going to Jiangnan!"

"I came from the south of the river."

"Oh, almost forgot."

Every time Zhao Mei gets along with these two people, he becomes very unconfident and always thinks that he has read the books wrong. Just now, Zhao Mei was already doubting himself. Is it Meng's mother or Zeng's mother?It's not that I remember it wrong, right?After thinking about it for a long time, he finally remembered that it was a special great mother!

"Going to Jiangnan is a good thing, but, Your Majesty, let's use less allusions in the future."

"Why?"

"If this allusion, Your Majesty, is recorded by a historian, I am afraid it will mislead future generations."

"What are you afraid of, the servants are all my people, even Sima Xi's subordinate officials, and they are all the widowers' cronies, hahaha~~"

Liu Chang was very proud.

On this trip, Liu Chang had no intention of taking his two wives with him. He ordered them to stay, and specially asked Cao Shu to invite Empress Cao to the Hall of Houde so that they could accompany each other. As for that When the three little guys knew that Chang Liu was going to take them out to play, they couldn't help themselves.

Liu Xiang once asked Liu Chang if he could bring some of his younger brothers with him?

In this regard, Liu Chang's answer is: the widow is not leading the army to fight!What are you doing with so many people? !

Everyone was preparing in full swing, but just when Liu Chang was happiest, two people came to the hall one after the other.

"Come here for me! Come here!"

Across the distance, you can hear the noise outside the door.

Liu Chang couldn't help but raised his head and frowned, "Who is making a noise outside the door?"

"Your Majesty, it's the King of Chengyang and the Marquis of Gengjie who are arguing outside."

"Let them roll in!"

Liu Chang cursed.

Soon, the two of them appeared in front of Liu Chang. Liu Zhang, the king of Chengyang, a big man in embroidery clothes, was grabbed by Liu Xin's arm. Liu Xin looked extremely angry and cursed Liu Zhang in various ways. Liu Zhang frowned, but said nothing.

This Gengjie Marquis Liu Xin is Liu Chang's cousin.

Liu Bang's eldest brother was called Liu Bo. When Liu Bang was not well developed, he would often take the poor people at the time to the eldest brother's house to eat and drink. The elder sister-in-law was not happy, so she scratched the edge of the pot with a rice spoon and made a noise. Without food, he left. Later, when Liu Bang saw that there was still soup in the pot, he was furious. Later, when rewarding everyone, Liu Bang did not reward his son Liu Xin.

Taigong was merciful, so Liu Bang reluctantly named him a marquis, and called him Marquis Gengjie.
Although he and Liu Chang are close relatives, the relationship is not very good. He is particularly dissatisfied with the clan because of this extremely insulting title and the fact that Liu Bi was crowned king. Liu Bi is the son of Emperor Gao, and so am I. Ah, why are they all kings, and I am the only one?
"What happened?"

"long!!"

"This guy caught my son!!"

Liu Xin's eyes were red, and he asked Liu Zhang angrily, "Who am I?!"

"You are my elder."

"Then how dare you arrest my son?! You dare to kill my disciples?!"

Liu Xin grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously.

Liu Chang asked coldly, "Why arrest?"

Liu Zhang replied very calmly: "Yuan, the son of Marquis Genjie, protected the salt merchant, bribed the officials, and wanted to profit from the smuggling of salt. I was worried that he would escape, so I arrested him first."

"I'm Marquis Che! It's your elder! The eldest son of Emperor Gao is also! Even if the elder sees me, he has to be polite. Do you think that if you seal the king of Chengyang, you can arrest my people? ?!"

Liu Xin was furious and pushed Liu Zhang in front of him again. Liu Zhang clenched his fists several times, but he didn't dare to do it. Liu Xin and Liu Changping were of the same generation, and Liu Zhang was younger than them. Even if he was a king, he would not dare to follow him. He started, but Liu Chang narrowed his eyes, "Then do you have any evidence?"

Hearing this sentence, Liu Xin was even more angry and asked: "They are all the sons of Emperor Gao, and I have a share in this world, so what if I did it? Do you still want to punish your own son? !"

Liu Chang slowly stood up, walked in front of Liu Xin a few steps, lowered his head, and stared into his eyes.

Liu Xin, who was still angry at first, took a few steps back under Liu Chang's gaze.

"You you...you can forgive his crimes."

"I'll take good care of him."

"I am your brother."

This sentence seemed to give Liu Xin courage. He stopped his steps, raised his head, stared at Liu Chang, and said, "My father and Emperor Gao are brothers."

Liu Zhang suddenly said: "When I was investigating Liu Yuan, I found that there was a woman who was robbed in the Marquis Gengjie mansion. I thought it was Liu Yuan's doing, but Liu Yuan confessed that it was his father."

Liu Xin was shocked and was about to say something when he saw a huge slap.

Liu Chang really rounded his hands, and a slap hit Liu Xin in the face, Liu Xin turned around a few times, fell to the ground with a bang, and stopped moving.

"The widow finally understood and said why those big salt and iron clans are so difficult to deal with. It turns out that these thieves are secretly protecting them."

"Zhang Chuan my order, from the princes and kings onwards, anyone who dares to protect the merchants, collude secretly, and seek profit for themselves, will be executed!"

"only!!!"

Liu Zhang leaned over and bowed, then looked at Liu Xin, who was beside him, and asked, "Father Zhong, what about him?"

"Go to Tingwei, and let Wang Tianqi go to his house to find it!"

Liu Chang waved his hand in displeasure, and Liu Zhang asked someone to drag Liu Xin away, but Liu Chang's face was quite ugly, and his great interest was destroyed like this. One brother, one brother, one half of the sentence is inseparable from the world. What he is doing is digging into the corner of the big man and entering the dog.

Liu Changzheng cursed, and after a while, the queen mother suddenly appeared in the Hall of Houde.

Mr. Liu was startled, and hurriedly helped his grandmother to come closer, very surprised, "Why did grandma come all of a sudden?"

Empress Lu leaned on a cane, "I heard that you are going to kill Liu Xin?"

Empress Lu has always been a straight-to-the-point personality, never chatting, Liu Chang was taken aback, and asked with a smile, "How could this trivial matter even disturb my mother? You don't know, this servant's son colluded with merchants and bribed officials. This guy is so old, yet he still seizes the people's daughter, his sin is unforgivable!"

Empress Lu sat down slowly, hesitated for a moment, "Around him, let's get rid of his feudal kingdom."

Liu Chang was stunned.

God, my mother actually came to persuade me not to kill guilty people? ?
"Mother?? This is you"

Liu Chang looked at Empress Lv worriedly, Empress Lv said seriously: "Liu Xin's father, he is very fond of your grandfather, there is something that he is reluctant to eat and clothe, and he has to give it to your grandfather. He treats us well. The family has kindness. When I first entered the door, his condition was very serious, but he still wanted to take us to the market to give us a pair of clothes..."

Empress Lu suddenly recalled the past, Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and asked, "But I heard that his grandmother."

"Your grandfather befriends bandits, idles around, eats and drinks for free, let alone the elder sister-in-law, even me, there are so many complaints, how can you blame her? Chase him as the king, why don't you chase him as a king?"

"Ah? How can there be a reason to reward his father if he made a mistake??"

"Of course, if you make a mistake, you must deal with the matter of pursuing the seal. Don't worry, we will talk about it later."

Liu Chang curled his lips. He never thought that his mother still had such a side. In his eyes, she was never a person who would show mercy to anyone. Liu Chang lived for so long, and he had never seen her like this. It looks like this, but the uncle gave him two clothes at the beginning, but today he can get him a throne and save his son's life, which is a good deal.

"Okay, since grandma said that, she will be demoted to a city rank in addition to his country!"

Empress Lu didn't say anything else this time.

"It's a good thing you want to take Ann out for a walk."

"As a king, you really need to know that the situation in various places is trapped in Chang'an, and it is difficult to be a virtuous king."

Empress Lu was very supportive of Liu Chang taking a few little guys out to have a look. After explaining a lot, Empress Lu was silent for a moment, and suddenly said:

"I'm going to Jiangnan this time, passing Liangguo. You can go to Shanxian County where my father, father and brother are buried. I'm too old to go there in person. You can go to the sacrifice for me."

"It's been a long time since I left my hometown."

"I see."

Empress Lu's eyes suddenly became a little sad, and she didn't seem to remember what her hometown looked like. However, at this age, you need others to support you when you move around. Maybe you don't have to worry too much. Soon, you will be able to see your family. .

"I haven't seen them for a long time. Take this letter and burn it before the grave."

Empress Lu's thin hand took out a letter and handed it to Chang Liu very seriously.

At this moment, Lu Jia started non-stop, and was approaching the destination.

Soon, Lu Jia was stopped by the local soldiers on the way to the Loulan Kingdom.

Fortunately, these soldiers did not embarrass him, and looked at them with a little fear in their eyes.

After learning that they were going to meet their king, the soldier said something to the translator, and a knight walked in front of them. Lu Jia called the translator and asked about the situation. The translator smiled and said, "They Said to protect us to go to Loulan and meet their king."

Lu Jia asked again, "What was he gesturing just now?"

"He asked if we were from General Zhou."

"General Zhou? Taiwei Zhou?"

"Yeah. Taiwei Zhou, the big car breaker, has repeatedly fought against the Xiongnu in the Western Regions. Everyone here knows his name."

Lu Jia couldn't help laughing, looked at the people around him, and said, "When you were in Hexi, you often complained to me that Taiwei Zhou despised you, but now we have received his favor, because he is good at fighting. , these people dare not despise us. After returning, you can apologize to the captain in person!"

Several deputy envoys bowed their heads in guilt and replied, "Wei."

There are very few countries in the Western Regions that are really powerful. These countries have been in a state of melee for a long time, until the confrontation between the two great empires of the Huns and the Han spread here, completely changing the previous pattern here, and many small countries let go of each other. hatred, and began to find a way to face the interference of the two great empires.

Some chose to rely on the Xiongnu, some chose to associate with the big Han, some chose to be neutral, and no one would be offended, and some wanted to please both parties at the same time.

After all, there are great benefits to befriending these two empires.

It was only the large-scale invasion of the Xiongnu in the north that made the countries in the Western Regions more inclined to the Han, and began to establish alliances to fight against the southward movement of the Xiongnu.

Lu Jia has been observing the surrounding situation along the way. It is not as desolate as he thought. Many places are lined with green trees, birds chirping and flowers are fragrant. From time to time, he can feel the oncoming water vapor, which is very pleasant. , The situation in the Western Regions is really unique. Every time I walk, the scene I see is completely different. It seems that I have come to another world. Lu Jia is also amazed.

When they came to Loulan, they were not greeted by the King of Loulan in person. Only an official came to greet them, and he hastily arranged accommodation for them, and left in a hurry. There were still a few soldiers standing at the door, and they were not allowed to go out. The food was pretty good, and there were drinks.

Lu Jia suddenly felt something was wrong.

How could this small country in the Western Regions have the courage to treat the envoys of the big Han like this?
Their soldiers all know Zhou Bo's reputation, will their king not know?

Not only Lu Jia, but the other envoys also felt something was wrong, "Lord Lu, have they already joined the Huns? Otherwise, why would they treat us like this?"

Lu Jia shook his head, "If they had taken refuge with the Huns, we would have been arrested by now."

Lu Jia narrowed his eyes, thought for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Could it be that the Hun envoy came first?"

"what?"

"King Loulan may still be struggling, whether to vote for the Xiongnu or the big Han. The Xiongnu sent messengers to various countries to persecute them."

Lu Jia started the analysis seriously, and everyone pondered, "Mr. Lu, what should we do?"

"Kill the envoy of the Huns."

"As long as the Hun envoy dies here, then King Loulan can only choose to go to the big man."

Several people talked for a long time, and then inquired about the situation around the courtyard. When the next day, an official came and invited them to the palace.

Loulan country seems to be much richer than other countries. This building alone is different from other areas. It is taller and more luxurious. Lu Jia calmly led many envoys to the palace. At the time, the soldiers took away their weapons, and Lu Jia and others did not resist.

King Loulan was a short, naive person with a very gentle smile. When he saw the Han envoy coming, he hurried to greet him. Lu Jia talked to him through a translator. He pulled Lu Jia and asked him to sit. Beside him, he immediately started to chat.

"I've longed for a big man for a long time."

King Loulan asked about the big man. Of course, Lu Jia was like the king of Tang, showing the power of the big man as much as possible.

King Loulan nodded with a full smile on his face, and it could be seen that he did not want to offend the Han envoy.

They talked for a long time, and there was a commotion outside the door, and they saw a group of Huns barging in, swearing. King Loulan, "Your Majesty caught them, this is a very good credit, now you can continue to be the king!"

King Loulan's face suddenly turned ugly. These Huns came with weapons.

There was no panic on Lu Jia's face. He smiled, stood up, looked at King Loulan, and asked, "The Hun envoy is here, why didn't you tell me?"

King Loulan was speechless and faltered when asked.

The Huns sneered, and several people slowly surrounded Lu Jia and the others, their hands already on the hilt of the knife.

King Loulan finally couldn't sit still. It was also a great empire. How could the Huns be so aggressive?As soon as he gave an order, soldiers came in and surrounded the place. King Loulan put away his expression and said coldly: "If anyone uses a sword in our country, I will kill him and throw him to the other side."

The Huns were stunned for a moment. They chatted again for a while and sat opposite Lu Jia and the others.

King Loulan looked at the envoys on both sides and lowered his head, not knowing what to say for a while.

The atmosphere was a little silent. Compared with the arrogance and domineering on the Xiongnu side, the big man was gentle and gentle.

King Loulan was silent for a long time, unable to make up his mind, before he said, "I'm a little tired today, you can go and rest."

Lu Jia got up, said goodbye to King Loulan, and walked towards the door. The Huns immediately got up and followed behind the Han envoy.

Watching them leave, King Loulan was full of entanglements. He didn't like the rude Huns very much. Looking at the Han envoys, they were so knowledgeable and prudent, and elegant. How savage are these Huns?However, King Loulan didn't dare to vote for the big man, because Loulan couldn't withstand the attack of the Huns at all. Similarly, they couldn't withstand the attack of the big man. King Loulan sighed and rubbed his forehead.

After walking out the door, the soldiers hurried forward and returned everyone's weapons to them.

Lu Jia took the sword in his hand and groped softly.

At that moment, Lu Jia suddenly jumped out and waved sideways. In an instant, the scabbard was thrown away, and the cold light shone in all directions. The long sword slid across the neck of the nearest Huns. , ran quickly, slashed left and right, and immediately cut down four people, the rest of the envoys stepped forward, the Huns roared, and the two sides immediately fought into a ball. The movement here immediately caught the attention of King Loulan, who was preparing to King Loulan, who went back to rest, heard the roar here, and quickly ran towards the door.

When he rushed out of the gate, he saw that the Huns fell to the ground one after another, and the Han envoys were killing people.

At that moment, King Loulan only felt angry, "Someone!!!"

Lu Jia suddenly raised the sword in his hand and pointed at him.

"Don't move, the Han army is coming, move and destroy the country!!!"
