Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 458

Standing in the hall corridor, Liu Chang frowned, looking at the fluttering snowflakes outside.

Cao Shu's cries of pain could be heard from inside the house.

Liu Chang became even more uneasy, spit out a mouthful of thick fog, and looked more serious. He finally understood why his mother told him to be careful. Older women are very dangerous no matter what era they are in. What's more, even women in their 30s In the future, it will be considered an advanced maternal age.

Probably because of what his mother said, Liu Chang felt very uneasy.

Liu An's Shuzi was going to come to accompany her, but Liu Chang chased him away, letting him feel at ease to accompany her eldest mother.

Liu Chang, on the other hand, was pacing back and forth here. The painful cries made him extremely unbearable. He couldn't help clenching his fists together, and hurriedly released them, breathing slowly, calming his mood.

The snow this year is a bit heavy, even if the first month has passed, the snowflakes still have no intention of stopping.

All the officials said that this was an auspicious omen.

But Liu Chang was just thinking about whether the heavy snow in the past few days would cause another snow disaster.

Zhao Tuo has already left Chang'an. His Kainan government did not cause much opposition in the temple, mainly Zhang Cang. Zhang Cang recognized Zhao Tuo's idea very much. Eighty or ninety percent of the population is in the north. The population density in the north is very high, and some areas are scary. There are a large number of people who have no arable land and are forced to work in other industries. The quality of life is very low.

In particular, the population density in the Guanzhong area has reached an unprecedented level, and all these have to be resolved.

The uneven distribution of the population also has a considerable impact.

After calculating many factors, Zhang Cang also believed that the development of the southern country should be given priority over places such as Shuofang and Hexi. Moreover, Zhang Cang believed that the development of the southern country was not something that could be accomplished overnight and would take a long time. After completing it, the best way is to increase its household registration. As long as the household registration is sufficient, it is not unimaginable that the Southern Kingdom will become the Liang Kingdom.

Taking advantage of the great development of agricultural technology now, the cultivated land that can be used and developed in the southern country will increase a lot, and the King of Nanyue and King Wu are not mediocre, so it is very appropriate to let them take charge of this matter, and there is no problem.

Once Zhang Cang made a decision, the rest of the ministers naturally did not object.

Zhao Tuo went to Nanyue again. At this moment, he had probably already arrived in Chu, perhaps he had already met King Wu.

During this period of time, the farmer here in the temple did not come up with anything new. Instead, the farmer from the Liang country has achieved results. Not long ago, King Liang sent someone to show off the farmer's latest technology. , called the double-cropping technique of rice and wheat. In layman's terms, in the same field, plant wheat after the rice is harvested, and then plant the rice after the wheat is harvested, so as to use the land rationally, increase the output and the income of the farmers.

Liu Changxing was so happy that he gave Liang Wanghuafu precious gold as a reward.

When Liu Hui put on these things presented by Liu Chang, he became more like a big dog, with gold all over his body and his own special effects.

In addition, the frontier soldiers have already begun to set out in the direction of the main force for reclamation. The school captains of various departments arrived and began to organize the frontier soldiers to carry out reclamation. Qin Tong went up to the temple, hoping to give priority to bringing advanced farming technology to the frontier soldiers, because the frontier soldiers It is a rotation, and they will go back sooner or later. If they can master these advanced technologies, when they return to their hometowns, they will be able to drive the local area and play a very important role.

Liu Chang was overjoyed again, rewarded Qin Tong greatly, and asked him to take full responsibility.

Of course, sad things are not without.

In the cold winter of this year, An Guohou Wangling passed away.

The old man walked very peacefully and did not suffer from any pain. After eating, he went back to the inner room and slept peacefully, but did not wake up again.

As the eldest among the founding ministers, Wang Ling's death caused quite a stir.

Zhang Cang personally mourned, the founding bigwigs mourned one after another, and even Empress Lu grieved for him.

Zhang Cang has always been very respectful to Wang Ling, who had saved his life. Zhang Cang was also very saddened by his death.

When the ministers were discussing the posthumous title for him, they thought that he had served as the prime minister of the temple, and he had also served as the prime minister of the Tang state. He had accomplished martial arts and could be given a posthumous title in words. However, the posthumous title at this moment was still very precious. The only power in the hands of the ministers, after the negotiation, the ministers believed that although the king's mausoleum was the prime minister twice, the text was insufficient. , gave "Wu".

The words are not easy to grasp. At present, there is only one finalist, Xiao He.

In history, after Xiao He, there are only Liuwen Chenghou Zhangliang and Ruyin Wenhou Xiahouying. This Nengwen is because he made great contributions in supporting Emperor Wen, and he did not get carried away like Zhou Bo. Zhou Bo finally got Wu. Finally, there is our Beiping Wenhou Zhang Cang.

It is worth mentioning that the posthumous title of a certain Guohou is Xian.

Because of this, Marquis of Anguo became Marquis of Anguo. His son had passed away, and his eldest grandson, Wang Yu, inherited the title and became a new generation of Marquis of Anguo.

Although Liu Chang didn't like this stubborn and irritable old man, he couldn't help feeling sad in the face of the death of another ruthless man who founded the country.

There are only a handful of founding ministers in the DPRK.

In addition to being sentimental, Liu Chang ordered to set up a loyal and faithful pavilion outside the Changxin Hall of Weiyang Palace, and asked people to paint those ministers who followed his father to conquer the world, and hang them here, not only as a tribute to these people, but also as a tribute to these people. An incentive for later ministers.

Starting from Xiao He, Cao Can, Fan Kuai, Lu Wan, Li Shang, Yong Te, Jin She, Lu Ze, Lu Shizhi, Wang Ling, Peng Yue, Shu Sun Tong and other ministers have settled in one after another. Fortunately, there are not many people who have seen them. , the person in charge of painting can also draw them according to the descriptions of their children and even the rest of the people, and then let everyone watch them to see if they look like the paintings. Of course, the ministers who are still alive are also painted, but only If they didn't hang up, they had to wait for them to hang up.

The elder king wanted to hang Peng Yue, but this still aroused the opposition of the ministers. The ministers thought that Peng Yue had rebelled and was not qualified to hang up, but Liu Chang thought that Peng Yue was not a rebel, but that the emperor at that time did not investigate, wronged Peng Yue, and insisted. If you want to hang him, the ministers naturally have no choice but to hang him in the backmost position.

Hanging Peng Yue is not a big deal, because the grown-up king also asked people to paint a portrait of himself and wanted to hang himself in it.

However, Empress Lu was furious and reprimanded him, dispelling his idea.

The ministers were quite moved. His Majesty finally did something. Although there were some minor episodes, it was still within the tolerance range.

In addition to building temples for these founding ministers, Chang Liu also asked Chang'an to build a temple for the soldiers who died in the war over the years, named Zhonglie Pavilion, and made Fengchang responsible for related affairs.

Probably because Liu Chang had been doing personnel affairs during this period of time, the cry of a baby finally broke the silence in the hallway.

Liu Chang walked into the hall excitedly, and several palace maids stood in front of Liu Chang, but he couldn't stop him at all.

"Is the queen okay? Where is the queen?"

"How is the queen?!"

"Your Majesty! The queen is fine! Please wait a little longer! You can't go in yet!"

"What etiquette is there in front of me?!"

Liu Chang pushed them away and was about to go in. A palace maid urgently shouted, "This is to protect the queen, Your Majesty, the queen is weak and can't stand the cold wind."

Liu Chang hurriedly stopped and asked anxiously, "Then why don't you ask, how is Shu?!"

Soon, a palace maid came out, "Your Majesty! Mother and daughter are safe! Mother and daughter are safe!"

"Mother and daughter. Daughter??"

"Hahaha~~~"

At this moment, the dizzy gentleman only felt that something rushed to his head. The whole person walked around the door, dancing and dancing, happy like a child as tall as an iron tower.

"I have a daughter! I have a daughter!! Hahaha~~"

"Hurry up and hold my daughter out!!"

"Quick! Quick!!"

When he saw his daughter with his own eyes, Liu Chang was speechless for a long time. He stretched out his hand and hugged his daughter gently. Looking at the little face, Liu Chang's eyes were filled with infinite love. The father's love in his eyes is like the ocean, which instantly drowns the daughter in his hand. He is very cautious, and every step is so slow, for fear that if he walks too fast, he will hurt the child.

"Mother~~~"

When Empress Lu saw Liu Chang, Liu Chang was in a state of grinning.

Seeing the child in Liu Chang's arms, Empress Lu stepped forward and wanted to reach out to pick it up. Liu Chang hesitated for a moment, then carefully handed it to his mother and instructed, "You have to be careful."

Empress Lu glared at him, took the child, and looked up and down. Liu Chang tried to speak several times, but he held back.

"good very good."

"You can be considered as getting your wish Xia Wu and you are right, she is really a girl."

"Hahaha, yes, grandma, I've already chosen the name, Ji! Liu Ji! How's it going?"

"Which command?"

"This is it."

Liu Chang wrote with his hand, and Empress Lu nodded, "It's not bad."

Empress Lu looked at the child in her arms, and a smile appeared on her face. She had many sons and grandchildren, but this was her first granddaughter. Empress Lu was very happy. As for Liu Chang, her eyes were always on. It was on the body of this big Han eldest princess, and he couldn't move it for a while. The moment he saw his daughter, his heart seemed to melt together, and he couldn't help smirking again.

"Sister?! I have a sister?!"

Liu An also appeared here at some unknown time. He stepped forward excitedly and stretched out his hand to pick up the child, but Empress Lu didn't give it to him this time, "She's still young, I'm afraid she'll hurt her!"

"Then let me see it!!"

Liu An stood beside Empress Lu, looked down at his sister, and immediately followed Liu Chang's smirk.

Soon, Fan Qing and Yong E also came, Liu Bo cheered, and like his elder brother, he also wanted to hug his younger sister. His face turned red and he jumped happily. As for the two twins, they are now being held in Yong E's arms. Inside, he also stuck his head out curiously and stared at the child in the eldest mother's arms.

The moment Liu Ling was born, she became the most favored existence in the entire palace.

The four older brothers surrounded her, and her grandfather was all smiles, even forgetting to see Cao Shu.

Liu Chang held the child and walked around the house. An Hebo followed behind him. Liu An also asked diligently, "Father? You are tired too. Why don't you let me hold him for a while?"

"I want to hug too! I want to hug too!"

"I'm not tired! You both give me a little noise!!"

Liu Chang cursed.

The twins in the distance couldn't help laughing, and the grandfather and grandfather cried out endlessly.

Even when Liu Ji was asleep, Chang Liu and the others were sitting around her.

Liu Chang said earnestly: "There are some things to say, I am just such a daughter, if anyone dares to bully her, I will kill him!!"

Liu An said disdainfully, "Father! Don't worry! With us here, who would dare to bully her?"

"As brothers, you have to take care of her, you know?!"

"only!!"

Even the well-behaved Liu Bo raised his fist at the moment and said seriously: "Whoever dares to bully her, I will beat him!"

"Hahaha, well said!"

Liu Chang rubbed his head.

Immediately, Chang Liu didn't go out of the palace very much. He stayed in the palace all day, accompanied by his daughter, and truly implemented his idea of ​​being a foolish monarch. That is to say, Zhang Cang suffered. He is in charge of all the court proceedings, and even the memorials of the inner court were sent to him to decide, which is really too much.

Of course, Chang Liu didn't ignore the government. After having a daughter, Chang Liu decided to review the memorial table.

The basic format is "You said it very well, I am right, by the way, I have a daughter, you know?"

When the ministers saw this style, they secretly thought that it was not good, it was bad, has His Majesty started to review the memorial in person again? ?

Fortunately, Liu Chang was just showing off. After the ministers and brothers from all over the country showed off, he did not continue to criticize.

"Your Majesty!! Your Majesty!!"

"This matter can't be dealt with by Zhang Xiang!!"

Chao Cuo was almost hanging on Liu Chang's body, holding his hand tightly, and Liu Chang couldn't shake it off.

"Your Majesty!! We must take national affairs first!!"

"I have worked hard for state affairs for 50 or [-] years, so what if I take a break?"

"Your Majesty, something big has happened to Hexi!"

Hearing this sentence, Liu Chang just stopped shaking the minister, "What did Shuzi do wrong??"

Chao Cuo exhaled a breath, and then said, "Your Majesty, it's Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo sent troops without authorization to attack the Western Qiang. Please take a look."

Chao Cuo handed the memorial to Liu Chang, and Liu Chang watched it carefully. From Longxi to the Western Regions, there are a large number of Qiang people, and there are countless tribes.In the pre-Qin period, the Qiang people were extremely powerful and established the Yiqu State, occupying the northern part of today's Guanzhong, Hexi, Beidi, and parts of Shuofang. All the countries in the Central Plains wanted to use them to restrict Qin. After 170 years of war, in the end, the Rongs, mainly composed of Qiang people, were gradually integrated by the Qin State.

In order to manage the Rong Road they set up in the Qin Dynasty, with the integration of more than [-] years, it is no different from the ordinary county, so it banned such a name and directly set up a county.

And those who did not integrate are those who fled to Hexi and other places, maintaining the living habit of "less grain, more livestock, and hunting".

After the Han occupation of Hexi, many Qiang people became the people of the Han Dynasty, and there were also Qiang people who fled to other areas. Some of them fled to the Western Regions, and some of them fled to the southwest. They lived in river valleys, surrounded by mountains and rivers. , it is difficult for people and animals to travel, and further up is the ice and snow, which cannot be cultivated. These Qiang people are collectively referred to as Xiqiang.

Just when Liu Chang was checking the battle report, Chao Cuo said angrily; "Zhou Bo, ignoring the temple and making his own decisions, the king of Hexi hastily sent troops to allow the Taiwei to use troops without asking the temple, this is an act of treason. Please order, Your Majesty, immediately send troops to arrest these two people in Chang'an!! Hand it over to Tingwei for disposal!!"

Liu Chang couldn't help frowning, and he was also a little angry.

He is not worried about the issue of the lords becoming bigger, nor is he worried about whether Liu Xiang's Shuzi will rebel, but it is a bit too much to use troops without telling him. How dare Shuzi dare?
This kind of behavior will have a very bad influence on the world. If all countries start to follow suit, will it still be great?

"Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo"

Liu Chang squinted his eyes and shook his head gently.

"Send a few petty officials to Hexi Country, put Zhou Bo in the prison cart, and bring it back!!"

Chao Cuo was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty? What about the King of Hexi?"

Liu Chang looked at him suddenly, his eyes particularly bad.

Chao Cuo swallowed the rest of his words immediately, "Wei!!"

Chao Cuo left in a hurry, but Liu Chang couldn't help frowning.

Zhou Bo. If you don't let this guy have a long memory, this guy will never get rid of his bad habits!
Guangling City of Wu State.

Liu Heng stood outside the city gate, looking into the distance.

The ministers stood beside him, and they felt a little unhappy in their hearts. My great king is His Majesty's elder brother. How could he go out of the city to meet a foreign king?And let our king wait so long? ?
Zhao Tuo's frame slowly appeared in the distance. When Zhao Tuo saw the knights in the distance, he looked stunned and hurriedly asked, "Didn't you tell King Wu when the widow came back?"

"I said it"

The attendant was also at a loss. Zhao Tuo asked the attendant to say two hours later when he came. Why are there so many people coming to greet him? ?
Zhao Tuo saw it, and he smiled bitterly, "Our King Wu still can't trust the widow, and the widow won't seize power with him!"

Seeing Zhao Tuo's car, Liu Heng came to greet him in a hurry, with a smile on his face, and even wanted to salute first, Zhao Tuo preemptively salutes, and the two of them have met.

Zhao Tuo looked at the large-scale welcoming team, "Your Majesty, the widow is here by His Majesty's order to assist you in governing the southeast. Why are you doing this?"

"what?"

"I also ask your Majesty to forgive me. The state of Wu is poor. This is already the highest greeting etiquette."

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, the widow clearly sent someone to tell you the time to come. Why do you do this?"

"I am very grateful that you can come to help the widow. Besides, you are old, so the widow must be greeted in advance."

"I'm old. Your Majesty keeps sending people to urge me. I'm on my way without stopping, but I still make Your Majesty wait here for so long. It's really a sin, a big sin! Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Zhao Tuo immediately leaned down to salute.

Liu Heng grabbed his hands and helped him up.

The two looked at each other.

At that moment, the two laughed at the same time.

"King of Nanyue, please!"

"King Wu, please!!"
