Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 386 The Great Han Emperor Is Not Human

Across the distance, you can see the ragged crowd in the distance.

These people are busy, some are holding hoes, some are holding shovels, some are pushing strange cars, and all kinds of stones are slowing down in the car. While busy, there are probably tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, all over the mountains and plains. You can hear the reprimands of officials and the mourning of the people everywhere. People are everywhere. Around this hill, there are patrolling armors in the distance. Soldiers, cavalrymen pass by from time to time.

Not far away is a county town. This county town is obviously newly built. It is very tall. There are horses, fences, and armored soldiers armed with strong crossbows, looking around vigilantly.

This is the Hexi State of the Han Dynasty, Wuwei County.

King Loulan passed by the foot of this big mountain. He looked at the silhouettes of people all over the mountain. There were already many roads on the mountain. Looking around, on every road, you could see workers with their heads bowed and the officers and soldiers who were supervising them. , A group of people came towards them, their faces were terrified, and their expressions were uneasy. King Loulan looked at them for a while before recognizing their identities. These were the Huns.

He couldn't help but ask, "Are all prisoners of war on this mountain?"

"Not all of them."

"What are they doing here?"

"They are building An Tomb for His Majesty."

"Why was the tomb of the Han emperor built here? So many people are needed?"

This time, the officials did not answer him any more. Looking at the densely wailing people, King Loulan's heart trembled. It is not bad that this big man is a tyrant. Even in those countries in the Western Regions, I have never heard of anyone who would send So many people came to build mausoleums for themselves, and even treated these people like that. The screams echoed in the ears of King Loulan, which made him tremble. If he offended the Han emperor, his own Will the people also appear here?
This is the construction site of Anling. There are a large number of prisoners of war and prisoners. Of course, most of them are those noble families who were blessed by Liu Jing. These noble families were forcibly relocated here, including the city, which is called Ancheng, which is to build The Imperial Mausoleum City, these noble families live here and guard Anling for generations. What a blessing to them.

These tyrants who came to build the imperial mausoleum, every time they think of this good job that Liu Jing found for themselves, they can't help but burst into tears, and even their hands start to tremble with excitement.

They secretly swore in their hearts that sooner or later, they would repay Duke Liu's great lack of great virtue.

The news of Chang'an can also be spread here occasionally. Every time they hear the news about Liu Gong, they attach great importance to it and ask kindly: Is he still alive?
King Loulan went all the way through Hexi Kingdom. This was the first time he came to Dahan. He knew that this place was originally the territory of the Huns, but now, there is hardly any shadow of the existence of the Huns here, and everything is flat. On the road, you can pass two carriages, and there are post houses and pavilions on the side of the road. They are majestic and serious. There are not many cities, but each city has been strengthened into a tall fortress.

Because of the need to face the robbery of the Huns, the city here is very strong. King Loulan has never seen such a tall city wall in his life, and the plains where the Huns are galloping have now become arable land, along the water, all the way They are all continuous arable land, and some arable land is on the mountain, one ring after another, layer by layer, which is very beautiful.

When King Loulan came to Guzang County, the other kings were already waiting for him.

Everyone was taken to the palace. There were no extra buildings in Hexi Kingdom, and no decorations were seen. Even the palace was built into a fortress. There were no trees, no gardens, only school grounds, and soldiers patrolling back and forth. Rejecting horses, hounds, gray buildings, with a great sense of oppression.

The two ministers of the Hexi Kingdom received the kings. The younger minister was very kind and greeted everyone with a smile. There was nothing inappropriate in the etiquette. They sat down and toasted them in person. A general with a straight face, wearing armor, not young, but his eyes are quite sharp. He looks at these kings, his eyes are very bad, King Loulan can hardly see the emotion in his eyes, whenever he His eyes swept over, and King Loulan felt a slight chill in his neck.

He looked at the kings as if he was staring at their necks, and he didn't know what to do.

King Loulan was a little unhappy, looked at the king beside him, and asked, "Who is that person?"

The man shivered and shook his head.

Then he secretly said in a very low voice: "Zhou Bo."

King Loulan's body trembled, and he no longer dared to look at the man.

In terms of fighting, the three Zhou Bos may not be comparable to Han Xin, but in terms of notoriety, Han Xin is far inferior to Zhou Bo. This beheading general fought in the Western Regions. After beheading the enemy, he wanted to behead his allies too. He really did just that. In the name of disobeying military orders, he gained a large number of servant heads.

Although Han Xin was strict in governing the army, he never did such a thing, nor would he ever issue an order to send his subordinates to death. Zhou Bo's behavior made him suddenly notorious. Originally, the kings were only afraid because he defeated the Xiongnu. Later, it was purely because of his notoriety that he was afraid.

The young minister of Hexi State smiled and said, "Since all the great kings have arrived, I will send someone to take you to Chang'an to visit your majesty."

"By the way, before the great kings leave, I would like to remind you in my personal capacity that I used to be His Majesty's benefactor and knew him very well. His Majesty is a gentle, tolerant and generous person. Kind king, however, Dahan attaches great importance to etiquette, after you arrive in Chang'an, you can learn Dahan's etiquette first, otherwise, if you do something rude, my majesty will not care, but the ministers will not be willing."

After the minister finished speaking, he signaled the officials to take them away.

Immediately, these kings of the Western Regions got into the car specially prepared for them by the big Han, and under the protection of the soldiers, drove in the direction of Chang'an.

King Loulan looked around. There were 27 kings in total, and he only knew less than half of them. Those who came here were all big kings. Those "city lords" who had too small territories were not invited. It was the first time that King Loulan saw the so-called galloping road. He never imagined that a horse-drawn carriage could run so fast. The carriage was running very fast on those sleepers. He could also see a horse-drawn carriage speeding past next door. , this is a two-way one-way street.

At first, King Loulan thought that he would reach Chang'an soon. After all, there is such a fast thing. He kept asking the officials who were driving, and wanted to make such a road in his own house, but after walking for more than ten days, Let alone Chang'an, I can barely see the edge of Longxi County.

Arriving in Longxi County, a different style was introduced.

Longxi County does not have the chilling atmosphere of Hexi Kingdom, but the population is not at the same level as Hexi Kingdom. Tall, it's just the scene of the crowd, and it still makes King Loulan look stupid.

The population of Loulan Kingdom is less than 6, and the population of a single county in Longxi County is almost at the level of their own country.

King Loulan's surprise fell into the eyes of the officials, making it seem a little ridiculous.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that Longxi and Hexi are the most desolate places in the Han Dynasty, and there are few people. If you go to Liang State and Qi State, there are many talents there. There are huge crowds of people. Walking on the road, people are crowded People, there are tens of thousands of people in one county alone, and an army of 10 can be recruited from the whole area."

Hearing the official's words, King Loulan didn't quite believe it, this fellow was intimidating himself.

But when their car officially entered the Sili area, King Loulan believed it.

Before reaching Chang'an, the road was already crowded with people. The convoy was like a long dragon. The soldiers kept clearing the way for them, causing dissatisfaction among merchants and pedestrians. They shouted and looked around. How far, anyway, there is no end in sight.

King Loulan finally believed the official's words, and he couldn't help but ask, "How many people are there in the big man?"

The official pondered for a moment and said, "When Emperor Gao pacified the world, there were only ten rooms and nine empty spaces, and there seemed to be only ten million. Later, Xiang Xiang, the empress dowager, and the emperor Taishang all issued strategies for the number of people in turn, and rewarded those who had more children. The tax is exempted, and today, His Majesty, His Majesty is light and thin, so that the common people have food in their houses and clothing on their bodies. This is more effective than the previous encouragement to give birth. The common people can support themselves and their children. Naturally, there are more pregnancy."

"The last time the temple said, it was about 3000 million"

King Loulan was a little stunned. This number was too large for the Western Regions, and it was difficult to even imagine this number.

However, the official continued: "So, your Majesty is the most wise. In the past, the various encouragement and rewards did not play a big role. When the emperor is in the position, the situation is different. The Han household registration has increased year after year."

King Loulan nodded in agreement and said, "You are young, but you have such a deep understanding of state affairs, and you are in a high position, so your future is limitless."

"Hahaha, I followed His Majesty to crusade the Huns outside the Great Wall! Today's official position is due to the credit at that time!"

The official title of Daqin is linked to the title, and only the corresponding title can hold the corresponding official title, but Liu Chang broke this restriction. The low-level title is no longer useful, and the high-level title is different. A large number of wars have spawned a large number of nobles. After returning to the country, most of them served as officials in various places. Except for the permanent army such as the North and South Army, the rest of the generals will continue to be their own officials after the war.

Of course, from the founding of the Han Dynasty to the present, the officials have basically fought wars, and the biggest feature of Liu Chang is that the soldiers admire him very much. Liu Chang has a high prestige in the army. People's fighting power and unique personal charm, the officials who were killed in these wars actually supported Liu Chang to a very high degree.

When these people arrived at Chang'an, ministers had already come to greet them.

It seems that the city wall of Chang'an has not been completed, and the construction workers can still be seen in the distance.

King Loulan shook his head involuntarily. The emperor seemed to like to use corvée. They had never seen such a scene before. There was a lot of people talking, and there were pedestrians everywhere. There were merchants selling their goods along the street. They could see people in various costumes and looks. The road was very wide and there were several carriages. can pass at the same time.

And the soldiers stood on both sides of the street, guarding the safety of these kings.

The lively scene of the roads that were not blocked by the soldiers in the distance was amazing. King Loulan was stunned. He saw too many incredible things in this city.

They were taken to the west of the city to rest, and at the same time, officials came to explain etiquette and other matters to them, and told them a lot of things.

Here, there are also three foreign kings.

I heard that the two children were to be sealed in the Western Regions in the future. The kings did not take him too seriously, and the other outer king was an old man. With the help of the translator, the old man and the kings Chatting and laughing, talking about the situation of the big man.

The foreign king seemed to be very dissatisfied with the big man.

However, he knew Dahan very well. From his mouth, everyone learned a lot about Dahan.

"My country has more than 50 people and a vast territory, but it is not the opponent of Wu."

"In the past, their food and grass were not always enough. In the past few years, their treasury was full of food and grass, and there was nothing to worry about."

This foreign king is of course Zhao Tuo. Compared with the two hairy boys, he knows how to treat these people better.

Liu Qi and Liu Yan looked down on these foreign kings at all, and regarded themselves very highly, and ignored them.

After three days of studying etiquette here, on the fourth day, they finally got the chance to meet the Emperor of Han.

In the past three days, they also learned a lot of the situation of the big man from Zhao Tuo, including the fact that the big man can draw out the terrifying strength of a million army at any time, galloping all over the country, and the three arsenals in one county on the border. Armament strength, the kings of the Western Regions are becoming more and more silent.

The palace in Chang'an is not comparable to the palace in Hexi.

Here, if there is no one to lead, you will definitely get lost, and it will not be easy to get out.

When they were taken to a great hall, the servants of the great Han were all waiting here.

Everyone sat at the table separately and met with these ministers.

After waiting for a while, the Emperor of Han, accompanied by his valet, walked majestically into the hall.

At that moment, the kings of the Western Regions couldn't help but secretly looked at it.

I saw a giant walked in accompanied by two attendants, and everyone stood up to pay their respects. The giant was so tall, King Loulan was stunned, this man's arms almost had his own thick thighs, and the two attendants behind him It is also tall, but behind the emperor, like a child, this scene is really frightening.

Is this the Great Han Emperor? ?
Not like a mortal! !

Liu Chang sat in the upper seat and looked down at the crowd.

His face was indifferent, and no one dared to look at him.

"The kings of the Western Regions can visit me now."

These people started to stand up and came to see Chang Liu one by one, with a very respectful expression. Standing in the crowd, Zhao Tuo was stunned. He didn't expect that after so many days of intimidation, it would be better for Chang Liu to come out and meet them. The shock brought by, Liu Chang's figure, in the eyes of these people, has its own mysterious color, which can be described as miraculous.

The nobles of the big Han are generally tall. This is because they eat meat every day, and they are absolutely adequate in nutrition. The people at the bottom are relatively short, but even if they are tall, Liu Chang is a special case.

Looking at the appearance of these foreign Wang Weiwei, Liu Chang is also a little strange. Didn't Lu Jia say that some of these people are very unconvinced?How can it seem so docile?

Next, Chang Liu held a banquet to entertain these foreign kings of the Western Regions.

The foreign kings finally had the opportunity to have close contact with Liu Chang.

Chang Liu had no intention of being wary of them at all. From time to time, he would call someone over and let him sit beside him. He simply put his arms around his neck and began to ask them about their domestic situation. At close range, Chang Liu felt a sense of oppression. Even bigger, you don't even need to show any force, just that body is enough to act as a deterrent.

"Hahaha, it's a pity that I was not able to go to the Western Regions in person this time!"

"However, I have been there once in the Western Regions!"

"When I was young, I took three hundred cavalry and rushed into the hinterland of the Huns, killing all the way from the east to the west. The heads of the Huns who were killed along the way were rolling. I can't remember how many I captured. At that time, The Xiongnu army was chasing after me, and I was among the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Xiongnu, and injured Mo Dun, and Mo Dun was so frightened that he ran away!"

"When I got out of the way, Luan Bu, the general accompanying me, told me that I killed more than 6000 Huns with my own hands!"

The outer kings were trembling, with smiles all over their faces, but their eyes were full of horror, "Your Majesty is mighty!"

They knew too well the fighting power of the Huns, and they killed [-] Xiongnu with their hands. What kind of monster is this?

As for the emperor of the Han Dynasty, is he bragging?Seeing that what he said was so true, he could even tell the location of the battle, the generals, and the details. It didn't seem like he was bragging at all. Besides, how could a dignified man be bragging? ?
They really believed that this monster in front of him killed [-] Huns in one battle.

Especially when Liu Chang said happily, and with light force, he easily broke the big bone in his hand, and they believed it even more.

It's no wonder that the Han Empire can kill the Quartet. It turns out that it has the protection of the gods. No, the emperor of the Han Dynasty is a god himself.
