Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 369 I am so lucky

"Your Majesty!!"

When Liu Heng bowed towards Zhao Tuo and greeted him respectfully, Zhao Tuo only felt that the corner of his eye jumped up, and it wasn't just his eye that jumped up, he jumped up immediately, hurriedly avoided, and made a bigger move. The gift, said: "I dare not accept such a big gift from the king!"

"If it weren't for the help of the king, the widowers would not be able to deal with the affairs of Nanyue. Thanks to the help of the king, without the king, the emissaries of the widowers would not be able to enter the country of Nanyue. Not to mention doing other things. I heard that you are in Chang'an. Come to see you and thank you for your help these days."

Liu Heng looked at Zhao Tuo sincerely, with gratitude in his eyes.

Zhao Tuo just felt horrified, and hurriedly replied: "The widow is old and has long ignored state affairs. The ministers of the state will take care of everything. The widow has only heard about the matter you sent people to South Vietnam. Before I went to Chang'an, I also I wrote you a letter to tell you, didn't you see my letter?"

"Ah? You sent a messenger to deliver a letter? I really didn't see it. You sent someone to send a gift earlier, warning me to govern the country well, and told me not to live up to His Majesty's high hopes. Since then, I have never seen your messenger."

"No, no, I just admire the person of the king. The king has been very effective in governing the southern country. I am very grateful, so I sent someone to give gifts."

"This is the king's attention to me, and it is also the recognition of my ability. It is specially rewarded, and I am ashamed."

Zhao Tuo and Liu Heng looked at each other affectionately, constantly complimenting each other, and looked happy, but Liu Chang couldn't help frowning.

"The king of Nanyue is also good at governing the big Han. When will you reward me?"

"I dare not!!"

Liu Heng hurriedly stood in front of Zhao Tuo, "Your Majesty, the King of Nanyue has worked hard and made a lot of money. It's me who said it's wrong. Your Majesty wants to govern the southern country, and the King of Nanyue can't do it."

Liu Chang's face was dark and he sat in the upper seat without saying a word.

Zhao Tuo and Liu Heng sat on either side of him.

The atmosphere here is a bit terrifyingly silent, and even the valet who came to serve them felt the chilling atmosphere, dared not speak, and shivered.Zhao Tuo took a deep breath and looked at Liu Heng, "I have always respected King Wu, and I dare not disobey the orders of King Wu. I will do my best to help him to govern the southern kingdom. There are many people in the country who say that the king loves King Wu, and King Wu is today. You are so polite to me, but you are a little alienated, I don't know why?"

Liu Heng said with a smile: "It's not alienation, it's just to govern the southern country, how can I not be more polite to you? Those who have followed you to create the foundation of South Vietnam, they only obey your orders. The policy is also impossible to carry out, and you will need your help in the future."

"Ugh"

Zhao Tuo shook his head, sighed and said, "You don't know. Those people were very brave soldiers at the beginning, but after they succeeded, they became arrogant and disobedient to discipline, angering the minister of state, and the minister of state Shen Tu. Nearly half of them have been arrested, and the rest have all resigned and left, and I don’t know much about the officials today, they all only obey the orders of the Prime Minister, you can write to the Prime Minister if you have something to do in the future.”

Liu Heng asked in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Tuo said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty jokes? It's like Shentu Country has no orders from the Majesty, how could it have the courage to arrest so many people? He even used soldiers from Changsha Country. Don't Your Majesty know about these things?"

"I really don't know. When you said it today, I just realized that it was Shen Tujia and Chao Cuo who arrested people indiscriminately, even your old subordinates! That's not going to work!"

Liu Heng looked at Liu Chang seriously and said, "Your Majesty! Please execute Shen Tujia and Chao Cuo!"

"what??"

Liu Chang was about to ask, but Zhao Tuo stood up again and said angrily: "What crimes did they commit? Those people have committed mistakes and should be caught and killed. The prime minister just carried out his mission, King Wu. Killing them because they did their job? What's the point?"

"So, Your Majesty thinks those people deserve what they deserve?"

Liu Heng nodded, waved his big hand, and said, "Your Majesty has given me gifts many times, and I can't ignore our friendship. You can't bear to do anything to your old subordinates, and I can also forgive me, so let Your Majesty give the order. , Let Your Majesty execute them, so that you will not be embarrassed, and you can continue to maintain your prestige in the country."

"you!!!"

Even Zhao Tuo couldn't help it at this moment. He suddenly took a step forward, and his whole person's mental state was suddenly different. He was murderous, his eyes were round, and he was extremely oppressive. Heng was killed. Under his gaze, Liu Heng stood still, but smiled calmly and turned his head, as if still waiting for Zhao Tuo's answer.

At some point, Liu Chang was already standing beside Zhao Tuo. Liu Chang lowered his head and asked kindly, "What do you want to do?"

Zhao Tuo's expression suddenly became hesitant, he gritted his teeth, extremely tangled.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing? Why, can't Your Majesty order your minister to be executed? Or are you reluctant?"

Liu Heng asked curiously again.

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath and looked at Liu Chang pleadingly.

"Your Majesty, this minister is not covering them up, and it's not that they can't kill them personally. However, they followed the widow to fight in the north and south, they are already very old, and for the sake of their merit, please forgive them this time. Imprison them and save their lives."

Liu Chang narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Heng.

Liu Heng sneered, "The King of Nanyue is very affectionate. Even if his subordinates make mistakes, they can cover up. No wonder so many people are willing to follow you."

Zhao Tuo's eyes turned red, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll order the execution now."

"All right."

Liu Chang calmly interrupted Zhao Tuo, "Although these people have committed crimes, they are not ready to die. Send them to Chu, Wu, Huainan and other places."

Zhao Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Heng said again: "These people are also pitiful, lonely, and have no companions. It is better to arrange their close friends to accompany them to leave. It's better to have someone to take care of them. After all, they are all old and can't work too hard. It is a gift for them to leave domestic affairs to others."

Zhao Tuo didn't react at all this time, just nodded, "Okay."

When Zhao Tuo was supported and left by his entourage, Liu Heng looked at Liu Chang helplessly.

"Lord. If Zhao Tuo himself ordered those people to be executed, Zhao Tuo would have no real power in the Nanyue Kingdom, and his old subordinates would not dare to get close to him, and his prestige among the Nanyue people would be greatly diminished. What is good for Dahan, why do you stop it?"

Liu Chang shook his head, "Brother has never fought, so he wouldn't understand killing the old subordinates who followed him. This is too cruel."

"I hope these people don't do any harm."

"Heh, if an old man who has been in his sixties for a few years can endanger my great Han country, then this country should die."

Liu Chang looked disdainful, "Nowadays, the people are rich and the country is strong, and even if Xiang Ji is resurrected, he can't make any waves. A county commander with a few soldiers and a strong crossbow can catch him. ."

In the face of such a confident younger brother, Liu Heng didn't say much, "Nanyue country is difficult to govern, the main problem is those deep-rooted old Nanyue tribes, these people occupy important positions and have military power. Don't take the officials sent by the big Han to the meeting, I instructed Shen Tujia to secretly hunt and kill several of the most violent ones, and now they are uprooted, it is not bad that Zhao Tuo, what are your plans?"

"Fourth brother wants me to kill him??"

"That's not it. This old man is cunning. Even the anger and entanglement just now, as well as his pleas, are all disguised by him. He knows that you are a very affectionate person. After I forced him to attack, he knew these subordinates. It's impossible to keep it, so he deliberately used your affection and deliberately pretended to be reluctant to kill his subordinates. This guy can't be released back to Nanyue. Shen Tujia and Chao Cuo fought fiercely, and Zhao Tuo's credit is also here. what"

Liu Chang widened his eyes and said angrily, "This old man."

Seeing that Liu Chang rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out, Liu Heng stopped him.

"Okay, don't look for him anymore"

"I don't understand, why is he doing this?"

"Power."

"He doesn't want to be a nominal prince."

Seeing that Liu Chang was still a little angry, Liu Heng said: "Don't think too much about this, Shen Tujia and Chao Cuo, you have to transfer one of them. These two people can't govern South Vietnam well. Let Shen Tujia stay."

"Well, I thought so too."

The two were talking about a major event when they saw a head sticking out of the door, looking at them sideways, "Father!"

Liu Heng's face darkened, "You rude Shuzi! Come in!"

The person who came was Liu Qi. After Liu Qi came in, Liu An, Liu Xiang, Liu Xian, and Liu Wei came in one after another, and they just stood in a row. Looking at these squatters, Liu Heng felt a little headache, but they were very Well-behaved, I met Father Zhong.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to ask for a gift. Oh, I'm here to see Father Zhong!"

"Father Zhong, my country in Hexi is poor! The people are naked!"

"Father Zhong, my country of Tang is poor, and the people have nothing to eat!"

"Father Zhong! I'm Jiaoxi. Oh, no, it's the Beiting country who is poor and lacks clothing."

"Father Zhong."

Liu Qi just opened his mouth, Liu Heng raised his hand and gave it to him, Liu Qi immediately reacted, "Father, my country in Xiting is even poorer, and everyone has been killed."

"Father Zhong, my country of Yan is fine."

"Fortunately, what did you say?"

"They all said that I always felt inappropriate if I didn't say it."

Liu Xian replied shyly.

Looking at these old Liu family's future hopes, Liu Heng just felt a little hopeless. There was no one reliable, and the big man was about to die.

Liu Chang laughed, pointed at the little guys in front of him, and said, "They have been waiting for the fourth brother. I heard that the fourth brother is coming, very happy."

"That's it, I said how did the third brother and the eighth brother run so fast after coming to Chang'an?"

Liu Heng is not bad. Wu State is not as poor as Zhao State and Jiaodong State. With a big wave of his hand, the sponsorship of various countries is in place. Once this is in place, these stilettos dance happily and surround Liu Heng. One mouthful, one Zhongfa, all kinds of hospitality, even the cold fourth brother, he couldn't help laughing at this moment.

Seeing that these Shuzi were still entangled in Liu Heng, Liu Chang drove them away displeased.

"Go to bed! What's going on here?! I'll do it if I don't leave!"

After driving them away, Liu Chang took Liu Heng out and said that he had arranged a place for him.

"The children of the imperial family are becoming more and more like you. It's not a bad thing, at least they won't be ridden on their heads by the Huns and the like."

"How can it be like me? Obviously like Ruyi!"

"Look at their happy faces."

"When I see a person, I want to pick up the wool, and I can't wait to pick up the skin!"

Liu Chang scolded and complained about the morality of these young people, but Liu Heng was a little suspicious at the moment and interrupted Liu Chang, "Don't tell me where this place is?"

"Brother, I know that you can't be idle because you are afraid that you will be boring, so I specially arranged you in this other hall, my master, it's too slow to deal with playing the watch, you should rest here, if you can't fall asleep, You can also approve a batch of playing sheets here. Don't be restrained, then I'll go to bed first."

Liu Heng took a deep breath, and before he had time to refute, Liu Chang fled here.

"You're the one with the sheepskin!!!"

The next day, Liu Chang woke up, and just came to the other hall, he saw Liu Heng chatting with a group of ministers, Liu Heng looked equally energetic, talking and laughing, Liu Chang looked at the other hall curiously. , then asked: "Fourth brother. Those playing the watch"

"I've already sorted it out for you, you just write it down."

"Hahaha, good!"

Liu Chang hurriedly held Liu Heng's hand, "Fourth brother, you have to stay for a few more days. It's not easy for us brothers to meet, so don't rush to leave."

Liu Heng went to see Empress Lv and Liu Ying first, while Chang Liu stayed to discuss important matters with the ministers.

Zhou Chang and others sat beside Liu Chang, hesitating for a while, and finally Zhou Chang stood up.

"Your Majesty, King Wu is diligent. I heard that he was in the State of Wu, and he reviewed hundreds of large and small performances a day. There is no mistake. He dared not relax day and night. The minister has heard that the virtuous king governing the country is able to let go of his own enjoyment and concentrate on dealing with the affairs of the country."

"I won't delay state affairs because of other things, and I won't leave government affairs to others to go and enjoy myself."

Without comparison, there is no harm.

When they first heard that King Wu was diligent in his administration, the ministers did not believe it. How could there be such a king in the world?
After all, the three generations of emperors that the ministers came into contact with were not very good.

The first is to throw the matter directly to the prime minister, hold banquets and drinks all day, and just listen to reports every day.

The second one was to watch the watch for a day. When he finished reading and disposing of it, the daylily was rotten.

The third reason is to simply not look at it, throw it to the ministers to deal with, and go out hunting or something.

However, when they really saw the efficiency of King Wu, the ministers couldn't sit still. They were obviously brothers, so why is the gap so big?So, after the negotiation, the ministers decided that Zhou Chang would come to persuade His Majesty, not asking him to be like King Wu, as long as he could be half of King Wu, no, three achievements are enough.

Hearing Zhou Chang's advice, Liu Changshen agreed, and he nodded.

"Yeah, it's the diligent administration! I hope you all understand this truth!!"

Liu Chang said solemnly: "Wu Wang can handle so many things in one day, how about you? It takes so many days to complete one thing? Can't you learn from the other King Wu? He is still the king of a country, You don't even own half of the family!"

"I hope that the ministers can follow the example of King Wu, govern the government diligently, and must not be distracted any more, and temporarily let go of their private affairs."

Liu Chang persuaded the minister.

Zhou Chang hesitated for a long time, and Zhang Budo stood up and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! The minister should be the official of the censor, supervise the ministers, and let them concentrate on state affairs! Relieve Your Majesty's worries!!"

Facing the disdain and anger of the ministers, who almost wanted to kill his eyes, Zhang Budo said very proudly.

On the way back, Zhang Budo was still chattering to Zhou Chang.

"Prime Minister, you must lead by example! You must not be lazy!"

Zhou Chang finally raised his crutch angrily.

But after a moment of hesitation, he put down his cane again.

"It's all because of your father!"

At this moment, Liu Chang naturally came to Liu Ying. It was rare for the brothers to gather together. Liu Ying's mental state was really much better than before. He didn't seem to feel decadent anymore. They are all shining, and he is sincerely happy for the achievements of his younger brothers.

"Fourth brother, I have heard many times that you are diligent in governing affairs, working hard day and night, and you are reluctant to light candles.

Liu Heng replied with a smile: "It's quite effective."

Liu Ying shook her head, he took Liu Heng's hand, and said very seriously: "Don't do this anymore. Look at you, you have white hair. Oh, how old are you. You are so busy, your body can handle it. Can you stay? If you don't light candles, what if you hurt your eyes?"

"You have to eat on time, and you should not spend more than three hours a day playing the watch every day. If you sit for a long time, go out for a walk and turn around. It's better to practice swordsmanship like this. It will be better for your health. At night I'm going to bed, I can't stay up late to read the playlist. Look at your hair."

"Be thrifty, but you can't suffer yourself. I have prepared a lot of clothes for you. Don't be reluctant to take them back and wear them."

Liu Ying didn't ask Wu Guo's current situation at all, he just cared about his brother's situation.

I don't know why, the tough, calm and wise King Wu is speechless at the moment, all the words seem to be stuck in his throat, and he can't say anything, especially when Liu Ying caressed him distressedly, Liu Heng just He smiled, but his eyes were a little red.

"Father and eldest brother are gone, but I'm still here. If you have anything in your heart or encounter any difficulties, you can let me know. I will help you."

Liu Ying said very confidently, maybe he couldn't help Liu Heng, but Liu Heng nodded seriously, "I see, brother."

Liu Ying happily hugged her two younger brothers.

"My eldest brother Yong, my Heng brother Zhi!"

"It's all done!"

"How lucky I am!"

ps: I returned to Uzbekistan today, and my child was discharged from the hospital. I don’t have to run anymore, I can code with peace of mind.
