Chapter 209 Zhang Budo and Zhaoping of the Second Generation
Hearing Liu Chang's words, Liu Heng was thoughtful.
"You want me to defend the South Vietnamese?"
"No, I want Fourth Brother to destroy South Vietnam."
Liu Heng suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "How can I have such ability?"
Liu Chang didn't care, "You have me in the north, so you don't have to worry. It's just that in the south... Father Zhong has read a lot of books and is knowledgeable. However, Father Zhong is not good at fighting. Besides, he is not young anymore, and there is still a gap between him and me.
Even with the strength of Wu State and Changsha, there is no way to resist."
"To eliminate the Kingdom of Changsha and the Kingdom of Jing, we only need one Wu Kingdom and several county guards to resist. If Sixth Brother can call on all the county guards and let them resist together, there will be no problem. However, Sixth Brother can't do it.
This...he doesn't have that kind of prestige, nor does he have that kind of ability."
"My elder brother has a son with the queen, and two sons with other beauties...but these guys are too young."
"If we have to wait until they are older and send them to the south... we don't know how many years we will have to wait."
"Among the clan, the only ones who have the ability to eliminate the serious trouble in the south are probably the fourth brother and King Yan."
"However, Yan also needs a strong king."
Liu Chang expressed his thoughts seriously. Liu Heng shook his head again and said: "I have never heard that princes can change their titles."
"Fourth brother, I have read "Han Feizi" well and know that in its theory of new sage, any system must change according to the changing situation. An unchanging system will definitely not be the best system."
Liu Heng was a little surprised, "Have you actually read "Han Feizi"?"
"Hahaha, I'm not a master of hundreds of schools of thought, but I've read a lot of them... As a king, you don't have to immerse yourself in the classics to become a doctor, but you also have to read some books to know a little about the thoughts of your subordinates.
The principles of governing a country.”
"You're absolutely right!"
Liu Heng strongly agreed with Liu Chang's words.
But Liu Heng said: "Eldest brother, you are not an outsider. I am not afraid of the desolation of Wu and Yue, and I am willing to defend the temple and resist foreign enemies like you... However, I am afraid it will be difficult to accomplish this.
It's easy...I didn't go there alone..."
Liu Heng didn't say it clearly, but Liu Chang understood what he meant.
Liu Chang laughed and said, "As long as you don't object, Fourth Brother, I will take care of this matter!"
"Sister-in-law~~~"
Liu Chang suddenly shouted in the direction of the inner room.
Liu Heng frowned, and a beautiful woman came out of the inner room with a smile and met Liu Chang. This beautiful woman was Liu Heng's Mrs. Lu, um, the wife arranged for him by the Queen Mother herself.
Of course, the Queen Mother also arranged another concubine for him, the Queen Mother's close daughter.
Mrs. Lu sat next to Liu Heng and said, "Since the King of Tang is here, he must stay longer!"
People from the Lu family are relatively close to Liu Chang.
Liu Chang asked proudly: "If my fourth brother goes to the Kingdom of Wu, will my sister-in-law be willing to go?"
"Wu Guo??"
Mrs. Lu looked a little confused, looked at Liu Heng hurriedly, and asked loudly: "What's going on?!"
Liu Heng replied calmly: "The eldest brother said that he wants me to change the title of Wu Kingdom and guard the south."
Mrs. Lu's face suddenly became a little ugly, but because of Liu Chang, she didn't get angry. She just asked: "I don't know how we offended King Tang? Are we going to that barbaric land?"
Liu Chang's face suddenly turned ugly. For some unknown reason, the relatives of the Lu family were really... each generation was worse than the last! Now it seems that Jiancheng Hou is one of the few capable people among these people.
, although she has many shortcomings, she may be courageous in doing things, and never hesitates in doing things, but compared with the Queen Mother Lu in front of her, no, there is no comparison at all. There is no comparison at all.
"The princes and kings are the guardians of the emperor! How can they covet peace, happiness and wealth?!"
Mrs. Lu did not dare to say anything to Liu Chang, so she pushed Liu Heng and asked him to speak.
Liu Heng looked normal and said softly: "Eldest brother, I'm afraid I can't agree to this."
Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Chang suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "This matter! You have to agree even if you agree! You have to agree even if you don't agree! If you don't agree, then don't continue to be the king! Go and become a marquis in Chang'an.
!More peaceful!!”
Liu Heng hurriedly cooperated and also looked angry, retorting: "You are my younger brother, how dare you talk to me like this?!"
"Yosei, you are my brother, but in matters of state, I am the leader of the princes. Anyone who doesn't follow will die!!!"
Liu Chang roared.
Madam Lu's face changed drastically, and her eyes were full of fear. If someone else dared to roar like this in the palace, Madam Lu would have sent people to fight her out. She even dared to scold the Prime Minister Fu Kuan, but Liu
Their looks are different. Mrs. Lu's confidence comes from the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is also behind Liu Chang. The Queen Mother is obviously closer to Liu Chang, and Mrs. Lu understands this.
She hurriedly said: "Prince Tang! Don't hurt the brotherhood!"
"Humph, I will definitely inform the Queen Mother about what is going on here!"
Seeing Liu Chang so angry, Mrs. Lu was helpless. She pushed Liu Heng again and signaled Liu Chang with her eyes.
Liu Heng then said: "Eldest brother, don't blame me. It's not his intention. I'm just afraid that my wife and children won't suffer like this."
Liu Chang looked at Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu, who had always been strong, did not dare to say anything to Liu Chang. She just smiled and said: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that the children are still young."
"Well, sister-in-law...do you have the talent of the Queen Mother?"
"No."
"So, is my brother in good health?"
"good."
"In this case, it's a big matter for the family and the country! Sister-in-law, there's no need to say more!!"
"good."
Mrs. Lu left angrily. After she left, Liu Changfang chuckled and looked at Liu Heng, "Fourth brother, then this matter has been decided. I will go back and discuss with my mother to let you go to Wu Kingdom."
! South Korea is too small, and you have no chance to display your talents, and the Kingdom of Wu needs a talented king. It just so happens that, fourth brother, you can fully display your talents in the Kingdom of Wu. When the time comes, I will also help you, and we will work together.
, destroy all those Minyue, Nanyue and the like!"
Liu Heng squinted his eyes and asked, "Where is Zhao Tuo?"
"Brother, do you want to meet him?"
"Follow me!"
Liu Chang took Liu Heng to another courtyard. Not many people knew about Zhao Tuo's remarks. Liu Chang did not want it to spread, and he never told anyone, except for the King of Chu, Ji Bu and a few others.
Outside, no one knew about this. When they hurried to the other courtyard, Zhang Buyi was guarding the door, motionless.
Seeing Liu Chang coming, Zhang Buyi hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects, but he only nodded slightly to Liu Heng, which was extremely rude.
"Is he still honest?"
Hearing Liu Chang's inquiry, Zhang Buyu said angrily: "Your Majesty, this guy is really rude. I was watching him inside, and he actually insulted your Majesty and said that he is your eldest father. How can I bear this?"
....”
Liu Chang's eyes widened, "Did you hit him??"
"That's not true! He is old after all. I scolded him for a long time, but I got angry and beat two of his attendants."
When Liu Chang led Liu Heng into the inner room, Zhao Tuo was sitting on the table angrily.
"How can I be so humiliated when I go to the temple to meet the emperor?"
"Chang! Call Zhang Buyi in! Let's see if he still dares to scold me!"
Zhao Tuo shouted, Liu Chang coughed, pointed to Liu Heng beside him, and said, "This is the King of Han."
Liu Heng was also sizing up the old man at this moment, and stepped forward to bow to him. Zhao Tuo hurriedly asked Liu Chang to help him stand up and returned the greeting. The two sat facing each other, and Zhao Tuo asked Liu Chang to prepare food, as if he was the one here.
Like his master, Liu Heng was surprised that Liu Chang was eaten to death by Zhao Tuo and was forced to become his personal attendant.
"I've heard about the reputation of the King of South Vietnam a long time ago, and I'm lucky enough to see him today. I wonder if he can still eat this meal?"
Liu Heng laughed and started chatting with Zhao Tuo. The two of them chatted very happily.
The two talked about local conditions, military affairs, history, and then talked about hundreds of classics. Liu Chang was stunned for a while, and he suddenly became an outsider when he stood aside. The two chatted more and more happily.
, Zhao Tuo almost started to call Liu Heng brothers, and when the conversation was interesting, Zhao Tuo asked Liu Chang to prepare wine and prepare to continue chatting with Liu Heng.
These two people really know everything. Zhao Tuo is older, so it’s not surprising that he has such abilities. But Liu Heng, how old is he? No matter what Zhao Tuo says, he can answer and continue chatting. This
It's not normal.
After walking out of the Nanyue Palace, Liu Chang supported the drunk Liu Heng.
"Brother...how can you be like Ruyi? You drink a little and dare to say anything to others!"
"How many times have I signaled you just now, but you are still talking about it, and you just barely told me about the military deployment in Changsha and other places!"
Liu Chang complained.
"Okay, no need to hold me up."
Liu Heng said very calmly, his eyes were clear and he didn't even look like he was drunk at all.
Liu Chang was stunned and let him go, "You're pretending to be drunk!"
Liu Heng said seriously: "This person is not simple... However, there is no need to worry. This person is talented and courageous. It's just that the land of South Vietnam prevents him from displaying his talents. If this person is in the Central Plains
, maybe he will be a strong enemy of my father."
"Um?"
"Chang...I am willing to go to the Kingdom of Wu."
"It is not a good thing for the sixth brother to be in Wu State... As long as the ban still exists, South Vietnam will try to plunder sooner or later. Changsha is fully prepared. If they cross Fujian and Vietnam to attack Wu State, then Six
My brother will definitely be implicated, you know... the Queen Mother has never liked him very much, if he is defeated in a few more counties, maybe it will not be as simple as being demoted to a marquis."
"Here in the Central Plains, it is enough to take precautions and protect the emperor."
"From what Zhao Tuo said just now, his troops are still concentrated in Changsha. The situation of the tribes is still very serious. There are vacancies along the coast..."
"Okay, then it's decided!"
"I will report this matter when I get back."
The two brothers made an agreement and then went back to rest.
At night, Liu Heng had just returned to the palace, and the Prime Minister Fu Kuan was waiting for him. Because Liu Heng actively defected to Lu, Fu Kuan became one of the few Prime Ministers who was spared and was not summoned to Chang'an. Fu Kuan was also at this moment.
No longer young, he frowned, and the monarch and his subjects sat facing each other.
"Your Majesty, I summoned you late at night, but what's the important matter?"
Liu Heng said calmly: "My eldest brother wants me to go to the Kingdom of Wu and become the king."
Fu Kuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "There is no such precedent."
"In the past, there was no precedent for the rotation of ministers."
Fu Kuan nodded and asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Liu Heng suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing, "I am like a trapped beast in Korea. Korea is too small. There is only one county in the area. There are only a few hundred thousand people. There is no place outside. I live with merchants all day long.
This is not the place for heroes."
"If we were in the State of Wu, we could develop our strategy to conquer Fujian and Yue in the south, take over the land of Yelang in South Vietnam, educate foreigners, practice the king's teachings, subjugate the barbarian lands into China, lead the Han army, open up and expand the territory, and convert the barbarians
To establish an unparalleled reputation for Xia, this is what a man should do!!!"
Among Liu Bang's sons, not only Liu Ruyi has great ambitions, but Liu Heng also has great ambitions. It's just that he won't show it easily when there is no chance, but once he has such an opportunity, he will never let it go, even for his own sake.
Ambition, he can pay any price.
He is truly like the son of Liu Bang and Empress Lu, who perfectly inherited the advantages of both parties without inheriting any shortcomings. Unlike a certain king who only inherited the shortcomings of both parties, but did not inherit half of the advantages.
This was the first time that Liu Heng expressed his thoughts. Fu Kuan was a little surprised, but he was also excited. However, he suppressed his inner excitement and said seriously: "But the king is not the king of Tang. The king of Tang
No matter what you do, you will not be feared, but if you do something a little better, you will be suppressed. Today, South Korea is small, and it will not matter if the king does well, but if you go to Wu State, it will be different."
Liu Heng squinted his eyes, "I have been careful and orderly in doing things over the years, but things are different now."
"The Queen Mother has taken control of the real power. With the current decree, she no longer has to worry about the princes causing rebellion... What's more, I am surrounded by the Queen Mother's people, and I have my eldest brother... And South Vietnam has indeed made the Queen Mother extremely angry.
, this is the best opportunity... If we miss it again, I don’t know how many years we will have to wait.”
Fu Kuan pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Then what should the king do?"
"This is going to trouble the Prime Minister. Please write a letter to resign and talk about Mrs. Lu's affairs..."
Fu Kuan was stunned, then understood immediately and said: "Wei!!"
"Oh, it's just difficult for the Prime Minister."
"No, the king must have accomplished great things, and I am willing to die for the king!!"
.......
The next day, Liu Chang was preparing to leave and say goodbye to his brother.
The little guy pestered Liu Chang, "Father Zhong, my hound must be given to me!"
"Don't worry, if you listen to your parents, I will definitely send someone to give it to you!"
Liu Chang touched the little guy's head, stood up and looked at Liu Heng, and said, "Brother, take care... We will meet again soon."
Liu Chang turned around and led everyone out of South Korea.
Chao Cuo was following Liu Chang at this moment, and several of Liu Chang's family members looked at the young man in surprise.
Liu Chang said with a smile: "This is Chao Cuo from Korea, Zhang Buyi, this is your fellow countryman, he is a very talented young man!"
Chao Cuo saluted everyone coldly, but did not get close to them in the slightest.
There is another difference between Legalists and Confucians. They do not like to form cliques for personal gain, that is, they deliberately alienate their colleagues and will not get too close to them. According to their thinking, if ministers are too close to each other, they will protect each other and hide the king. Therefore,
Once discovered, it should be killed!
Fortunately, Liu Chang's servants were also well-informed, and Jia Yi's attitude towards them was not very good at the beginning. Therefore, they were not angry when faced with Chao Cuo's indifferent attitude. Zhang Buyu was curious.
Asked: "Are you Korean? Where are you from?"
"It's from Yangdi (Yuzhou)."
"Hahaha, I am from Chengfu (Jiaxian County), we are half fellow villagers!"
Chao Cuo did not give the Lao Sheren any face. He said displeasedly: "So what? A Sheren does not think about how to serve the king, but wants to win over his colleagues. This is the behavior of a traitor!"
Zhang Buji was stunned and wanted to refute, but felt that what this guy said was very reasonable and was speechless.
Seeing Zhang Buyi's defeat, Luan Bu couldn't help laughing and said, "This man must be a Legalist. Buyi, you have finally found a comrade!"
Jia Yi frowned and said displeasedly: "Only when ministers are harmonious and work together can they support the king. If they fight with each other, how can they govern the country?"
"If we work together, does it have to be because of personal feelings? Working together to support the king, this is what ministers should do. It should not be out of personal feelings, but out of their own responsibilities and missions!"
"The personal relationship I am talking about is not about making good friends, but about not seeking harm, not about colleagues, but about controlling subordinates. People like you cannot get help from colleagues, cannot let subordinates give their full help, and may not be able to fulfill the role of a monarch.
Entrustment!"
Both of them are young and energetic, one is Confucian and the other is Legalist, so this is considered a quarrel.
Ji Bu looked at this scene calmly, and when he saw the helpless Zhang Buyi, he asked with a smile: "Are all you Koreans like this? Duke Zhao is going to have a big headache now, and Zhang Buyi will
Enough is enough, here comes another one even more cruel."
Chao Cuo was different from other people in the house. He followed Liu Chang and never left. When Liu Chang was thirsty, he immediately brought water. Liu Chang felt hungry and hurriedly took out the meat. The other people in the house made fun of Liu Chang. He directly
He scolded them and said that they were not human subjects. After all, Zhou Shengzhi and Lu Lu together were not as good as him as a lackey. Their position as the number one lackey was immediately taken away.
And he has the same temperament as Zhang Buyi, completely ignoring other people and other things, and only has eyes for the king in front of him.
When Liu Chang talked to them about letting his fourth brother serve as the king of Wu, Zhang Buyi was overjoyed. Just as he was about to speak, Chao Cuo excitedly shouted: "Your Majesty, this is a good thing! It can separate the kingdom of Wu.
Several counties were given to the Tang Dynasty. We trained the troops in Wu and armed them with Tang's ordnance. Then we would have the strength in the south. We could annex Fujian, Vietnam and Vietnam, and we could also command Chu, Wu and other countries!"
Zhang Buji was stunned and looked at the young man in front of him, at a loss.
Jia Yi immediately cursed: "This is for the sake of the country. How can you have such thoughts! You traitor! Your Majesty, please kill him now!"
"Hmph, a minister who does not think about the king but hides his own thoughts for the purpose of self-protection is a traitor! Your Majesty, such a minister is of no use!"
Liu Chang took a look and said, well, the new generation of Zhao Ping and Zhang Buyi, right?
ps: I chatted with a doctor today, and the whole time I spoke in Chinese. Then I answered the phone and said a few words in Uyghur. The doctor looked at me in surprise and said, you are a Han guy, but you actually understand Uyghur? It seems that I speak Mandarin.
