Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 355
The first year of the Han Dynasty.

With the new emperor ascending the throne, the entire Han Dynasty has shown a state of vigor and vitality, and all things are competing for each other.

The people of the world may not understand what the new emperor's enthronement means, but the people of Chang'an were the first to realize it. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he immediately mobilized the people in the customs to build the city of Chang'an. After mobilization, he began to invest in a large-scale project in full swing.

A certain old gangster built a country on the ruins, the second was to clean up the ruins, and in the third generation, the empire began to emit its own light, everything shows that this is an unprecedented Empire, he is huge, tolerant, and powerful, and he is casting the mature soul of a great nation.

From Chang'an to the cold land in the north of the empire, to the pastures of Hexi in the west, from the dense forests of South Vietnam to the hills of Yunnan, the amount of cultivated land has surpassed that of the Qin Empire, which was at its peak, and the tall city walls, Businessmen who keep coming and going, the smoke rising slowly
Liu Chang stood on the old city wall of Chang'an, and in the distance he could hear the cries of craftsmen, and the carriages were transporting heavy stones.

From here, Liu Chang looked into the distance. He seemed to have a panoramic view of the vast empire. The big man and the emperor put his hands on his hips and looked down proudly into the distance. The check of the people who come and go.

"Hahaha~~~"

Liu Chang laughed loudly, "This is my merit!"

"My merits and virtues cannot even be compared to ancient wise kings like Yao and Shun."

After uttering the classic Dumb King's speech, Liu Chang looked at Zhang Meng on the side, implying that he echoed a few words. Unwilling to open his mouth to flatter, Liu Chang was immediately displeased, if only Zhang Budo was here, just like you, wait, if you can be the third public, I will not be the public!
The emperor's daily life was boring and simple, and Liu Chang had to be busy with many things every day.

The most unacceptable thing for Liu Chang is that he can no longer play as casually as before, hunting?The emperor hunting is not a trivial matter. There is a special garden, and then a large number of ministers are gathered to watch the emperor hunt. There are also clear arrangements for the emperor's hunting time. If it is time to go hunting, the ministers will urge you, If you go hunting after time, the minister will reprimand you.

Of course, these rules are meaningless to tyrants, but unfortunately Liu Chang’s bad behavior is not thorough enough. A stunned young man like Zhou Chang can only live for two days under Jie Zhou’s command. As a prince of benevolence and righteousness, Liu Chang naturally cannot Those who attacked him, and then the direct ministers headed by Zhou Chang, began to persuade him endlessly, causing Chang Liu to lose his interest in hunting.

As for going out to eat wine and see beautiful women, don't even think about it. Such a big guard leads a soldier behind him and goes to a wine shop?To tease the beauty?There is no chance at all. Besides, this Zhang Meng is also the imperial guard, he even said it clearly, without any concealment.

When Liu Chang gently asked him if he could pamper himself a little.

Zhang Meng actually said angrily to Liu Chang: Your Majesty is strangling the minister, and the minister will never agree. The queen mother sends people to ask you about your situation every day!

Only then did Liu Chang let go of the hand that was pinching his neck.

With the more and more frequent court meetings, Liu Chang only felt that he was disturbed by these trivial matters every day, and was very sad and angry.

"Your Majesty! The minister has played!"

Liu Jing stood up and bowed towards Liu Changchang.

Liu Chang sat in the upper position very loosely, looking reluctantly, and even yawned, as if he had been forcibly dragged out to work.However, Chang Liu was forcibly dragged out. This morning, he wanted to dismiss the court meeting and planned to let Zhou Chang and Zhao Ping handle it on his behalf.

Unexpectedly, Cao Shu was the first to oppose it. Cao Shu said displeasedly, "As an emperor, your Majesty is the emperor, and you must take state affairs as the most important thing. How can there be someone who does not cultivate and eat?"

"The country is virtuous, and the sage king will govern it. This is what Gaigong told me at the beginning. I am not lazy, but I must obey the teacher! I have already decided that I will not go to court for 20 years! To show my respect for the teacher !"

Liu Chang's rhetoric did not last too long. When Cao Shu, Fan Qing, Yong E, and many other attendants couldn't afford to kneel and asked the emperor to go to court, Liu Chang reluctantly got up. How can there be such a diligent emperor like me? !

At this moment, Liu Chang still has no spirit, but Liu Jing has already talked about his own thoughts.

"In this Hexi battle, officials who transported grain and grass from all over the world found that when the grain was transported thousands of miles, there was only one minute left to transport the grain and grass to the destination. Nineteen minutes were spent on the road. When opening the colony, the minister thought that instead of transporting grain and grass, it would be better to get grain on the spot. Your Majesty could implement military colonies all over the border of the Han Dynasty to develop a large amount of arable land, and the local army would not have to transport grain and grass from the inside. Human and material resources”

"The farmland can be divided into two types. The army guards the frontier as a military colony. We will then gather some people from various places to go to the frontier to farm land for the people!"

Dahan has a large number of frontier troops every year. Liu Jing's proposal is not to let these frontier troops idle, let them farm the land. At the same time, the domestic wealthy are also idle, let them take their families to the frontier to farm. Bar.

Liu Chang, who was still in low spirits at first, was no longer sleepy in an instant.

He raised his head and said, "What do you mean, give up the domestic colonies and implement double colonies in Hexi, Tang, Yan, and other places?"

"Yes, the cultivated land in the country, even if the government does not urge people to develop and cultivate it, but the border is different. Nowadays, there are more and more people in the world, but the people are concentrated in a few counties in the Central Plains, and the rest of the place is still sparsely populated. Your Majesty Migration can be ordered"

Zhou Chang immediately stood up to object, "Your Majesty, what Duke Liu said is not unreasonable, but it is really inappropriate to forcibly relocate the people."

"Back then, in order to develop the frontier fortresses, Qin State forcibly relocated the people to Nanyue, Yunzhong, Shuofang and other places, which caused the people here to be extremely dissatisfied with the temples and rebelled many times. This is a policy that will make the temples lose popular support and cannot be implemented!"

Liu Chang touched his chin and thought for a moment.

"Forcible migration is not necessary, paid migration, those who wish to migrate, and those who migrate to the frontiers, will be given compensation and rewards, such as titles, farm tools, and cattle. Give what you need, don't save. "

Liu Jing couldn't help frowning, and he reminded: "Your Majesty, some people cannot be forced to migrate, some people can, and as the minister said, they can migrate."

All the ministers knew exactly what he meant. The invention of the mausoleum system was not enough. This is a forcibly relocated noble family who is ready to relocate in an upright manner! !

Liu Chang frowned and reprimanded displeasedly: "I treat the people of the world equally, how can I be so chaotic?!"

Hearing Liu Chang's reprimand, Liu Jing let out a long sigh and lowered his head helplessly.

The ministers couldn't help but become complacent. Your Majesty is the prince of benevolence and righteousness.

Liu Chang said: "Don't talk about forced migration again, this kind of thing must be done voluntarily! Lord Liu, then this matter is left to you! You have to take care of it, remember, it must be voluntary. !"

Liu Jing's eyes lit up and he immediately understood.

He replied earnestly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, you must be voluntary!"

The ministers are hesitant to say anything, what is this thing to do? ? ?
Knowing this servant's virtue, Zhou Chang hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, it is better to let this minister handle this matter."

"Oh, Duke Zhou? How is the construction of the Chidao you are in charge of?"

"This"

"Humph!"

Liu Chang walked away, obviously dissatisfied with Zhou Chang's efficiency.

At the end of the court session, when Liu Jing was about to leave, Zhou Chang finally caught up with him, grabbed his sleeve, and said earnestly: "Uncle Liu, like you, I don't like tyrants who oppress the people, but these The tyrants can’t be without big men, not Daqin, and they can’t intervene in everything. Some things in the local area depend on the clan, the three elders, and you who have the tyrants to be in charge.”

"Please rest assured that my time with Emperor Gao is not shorter than yours. You have received His Majesty's love because of your strong character. I am just inferior to you in this regard."

Liu Jing's remarks directly blocked Zhou Chang's mouth.

Zhou Chang was speechless, just shook his head and left here.

As soon as Liu Chang returned to the palace, Yong E enthusiastically stepped forward and took off his imperial uniform for him. Cao Shu just smiled and looked at it, while Fan Qing frowned in displeasure.After Liu Chang ascended the throne, the empress dowager naturally sent Yong E here. Yong E did not have any shyness to become a bride. With the unique enthusiasm of Bashu beauty, she greeted the two sisters with a smile.

Cao Shu is the eldest. As the mother of four children, she is very tolerant to the fiery Yong'e, and kindly asks about her family's situation.

And Cao Shu's senses to Yong'e are also very good. With the increase of age, Cao Shu has become more and more temperamental. The whole person is dignified and beautiful, virtuous and gentle, treats others with enthusiasm, and can also handle the big and small matters of the imperial palace. , Muyi world used to describe her that is not wrong at all.

Cao Shu originally thought that as her age increased, the king would definitely neglect her and get close to her. She was ready for this. However, as she became more mature, Liu Chang liked to be with her more and more. Get close, sometimes I just stay with her for five or six days in a row and don't want to let go.

Or Cao Shu took the initiative to remind him and let him go to Fan Qing.

Of course Fan Qing wouldn't be jealous of Cao Shu who treats him so well, but this newcomer is not pleasing to Fan Qing's opinion.

Yong'e and Fan Qing's personalities are similar, but completely different. Fan Qing is also stubborn, but she is more arrogant and willful, and Yong'e's stubbornness is her attitude. She doesn't seem to be afraid of anyone. He won't be looking for trouble like Fan Qing, and he won't let his own little temperament do things.

When Liu Chang left the hall and said that he would go to Zhaoping to discuss matters, Fan Qing finally spoke up.

"This is not the wild wasteland of Bashu. You still have to follow the rules when doing things here."

"My eldest sister didn't even jump up, but you, a newcomer, dare to run in front of the eldest sister?"

Yong E glanced at her and laughed, "You are the same age as me, so why would you reprimand me?"

"My grandfather is Wuyang Marquis!"

"My grandfather is Jufang Suhou!"

"My father is ranked fifth! Your father is more than 50!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Cao Shu sternly said, "Qing!! Don't do this!"

Cao Shu opened her mouth, but Fan Qing could only sneak a glance at Yong E, but did not dare to speak. Yong E did not take her seriously at all. She smiled and went to hug the child. Yong E likes children very much. , This is somewhat similar to Fan Qing. Cao Shu looked at these people helplessly and shook her head. Why are there so many children to take care of?
"Mum~~~~"

A loud cry interrupted Cao Shu's emotion. She turned around and saw Liu An in mud walking into the hall, raised her head, "I'm hungry!"

"I just washed the clothes yesterday!!!"

Cao Shu immediately exploded, and he picked up a stick and was about to hit him. Fan Qing quickly protected the Shuzi behind him.

Liu An also quickly explained, "Mum, I'm not just for fun, I went to Shangfang to help the craftsmen there. You can't blame me! I'm also kind!"

"Shuzi! Come here for me!"

There is a happy atmosphere in the Hall of Houde.

"Great joy!!!"

"Great joy!!!"

"The new emperor ascends the throne!!!"

"King Tang ascends the throne!!!"

The scout took Chang'an's edict and shouted along the road. When he rushed into the barracks, the entire barracks was boiling. The shocking roar that came out over there made them very happy.

Disturbed by this complicated voice, Guan A rushed out of the camp. He was busy day and night, and looked very tired at the moment. He looked around suspiciously and asked, "What did they say?"

Xiahouzao, who came out together, rubbed his eyes and said dully: "I didn't hear you clearly. It seems that the emperor died and the king ascended the throne?"

"OK!!"

Guan A subconsciously wanted to applaud, but suddenly felt inappropriate, "Are you sure?"

When the news reached the army of the Western Regions, the soldiers cheered and cheered, and they were all very excited, even Zhou Yafu was no exception. His own king became the emperor, and he was always calm. At this moment, his face was also full of smiles. Can't hide at all.

Only a certain captain, with a cold face at the moment, doesn't look very happy.

"Captain, the king ascended the throne, why don't you look so happy?"

Han Xin snorted coldly and said, "What's there to be happy about? Get ready to continue chasing Ji Porridge! Celebrate after defeating Ji Porridge!"

Zhou Yafu was reprimanded and could only bow his head to accept it.

Han Xin calmly picked up the map in front of him, looked at it for a moment, the atmosphere was a little silent, Zhou Yafu didn't dare to celebrate, just lowered his head and raised his head to look at the captain secretly from time to time. Leaving the map in his hand, he asked angrily; "When the new emperor ascends the throne, he needs to lead the ministers to congratulate him, and he has to hand over the sword to the emperor himself.

Zhou Yafu said in a low voice: "I heard that the matter is urgent, there is no way to wait for the Taiwei to come, and the censor can only take care of it."

"Oh no problem, these are all trivial matters! The most urgent task is to completely defeat Ji Conge and dedicate a great victory to the new emperor."

Han Xin waved his hand casually and picked up the map.

After watching for a while, Han Xin suddenly scolded: "What qualifications does the Censor have?!"

Zhou Yafu suddenly realized that the co-author Taiwei was unhappy because he had nothing to do at the enthronement ceremony, and this honor was taken away by the censor.

"Mr. Zhang had this idea, and naturally he would not miss it."

"Zhang Gong. Zhang is not suspicious, right?"

Han Xin narrowed his eyes and muttered the name.

Under the leadership of a great witch who did not wish to disclose his name, Han Xin successfully attacked Ji Congee's base camp. Han Xin adopted a detour and let the Tang army and the Longxi army go on an expedition along Loulan, cutting off the road from the north and south. It was a surprise attack on the base camp. After Ji Cong was attacked, he desperately found that the countries in the north and south had been controlled by the Han army, and he could only flee to the west.

Han Xin was chasing after him, just like herding sheep, constantly driving Ji Porridge, forcing him to run all the way to the west.

Zhou Yafu was a little suspicious. The captain could kill Ji Conge directly, so why did he drive him westward so unhurriedly?

Xiahouzao, one of the sages, did not disappoint Zhou Yafu. He gave his own answer, "Respect yourself!"

It would be fine if he just said it in private, but Xiahou Zaomiao was wonderful because he said it in front of Han Xin.

The lieutenant expressed that he was very pleased that he could have such a useful brain, and then reused him to take care of the injured horse in the rear army.

Zhou Yafu has always been an alternative among the sages, and some of them are not worthy of the name of the sages.

He didn't think the Taiwei wanted to raise the pirates and asked Han Xin several times, but Han Xin didn't tell him, just said disdainfully, "You are no different from Xiahouzao."

Zhou Yafu didn't get the answer from Han Xin, but he got it from Father.

Zhou Bo was much calmer than before, and he no longer looked arrogant and arrogant. Facing the confused son, he reminded: "This is using the enemy as a scout, and the captain's heart is very big when exploring the way. Your Majesty's The appetite is bigger, and the Western Regions cannot be filled. This is probably preparing for the strategy of going westward in the future.”

Ji Conge finally conceded defeat and hurriedly ordered to withdraw to the west with the rest of the troops.

He made up his mind, no matter how terrifying the west side was, it would definitely not be as terrifying as the monster chasing him. Ji Conge still couldn't understand the situation in the west side, but no matter how bad the situation was, could it be worse than the present?No matter how terrifying the enemy there is, can it be more terrifying than the one behind him?

Westward Expedition!Westward Expedition!
Ji Porridge is a person who will not hesitate to do things. Even if he leads the army to the southwest, the Huns march forward in a mighty manner towards the unknown and unfamiliar area.

After driving the Huns out of the Western Regions in large numbers, Han Xin did not continue to pursue them. He just sent people to inquire about the situation in the distance. He was waiting for the reply from the temple.

After galloping for a long time, Ji Conge's vanguard army finally encountered the first obstacle.

It was an unfamiliar village, a group of unfamiliar soldiers, speaking words that the Huns did not know, they took out their sticks aggressively, preparing to teach the unknown savages in front of them.
