As the new emperor ascended the throne, the entire Han Dynasty showed a state of vitality and all things competing.
The people of the world may not understand what the new emperor's accession to the throne 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. The people who had not served for a long time were under the influence of the government
Under the mobilization, he began to invest in the big project in full swing.
A certain old gangster created a country on the ruins, the second one cleaned up the ruins, and by the third generation, the empire began to shine with its own light. Everything showed that this was an unprecedented
The empire is huge, inclusive, and powerful. It is forging the mature soul of a great nation.
The cultivated land is endless, from Chang'an to the icy land in the north of the empire, to the west to the pastures of Hexi, from the dense forests of South Vietnam to the hills of Yunnan. The amount of cultivated land has surpassed that of the Qin Empire at its peak. The tall city walls,
The constant flow of merchants and the slowly rising smoke...
Liu Chang stood on the old city wall of Chang'an. In the distance, he could hear the cries of craftsmen and carriages transporting heavy stones.
Liu Chang looked into the distance from here. He seemed to have a panoramic view of the vast and vast empire. The Emperor of Han, with his hands on his hips, proudly looked down into the distance. There was a roar of people in the distance, a long queue of convoys, and busy soldiers.
He checked the people coming and going.
"Hahaha~~~"
Liu Chang laughed loudly, "This is my merit!"
"My merits and virtues cannot be compared to those of ancient wise kings like Yao and Shun."
After making a classic speech about the foolish king, Liu Chang looked at Zhang Meng who was standing aside and hinted that he would echo a few words. However, this guy was extremely dull and didn't understand the king's hint. Maybe he did, but he didn't understand.
Unwilling to flatter you, Liu Chang was immediately displeased. It would be great if Zhang Buyu were here. Just wait for it. If you can do the three things, I will no longer be Nai Gong!
The emperor's daily life was boring and simple, and Liu Chang had to be busy with many things every day.
What Liu Chang couldn't accept the most was that he could no longer play casually like before. Hunting? The emperor's hunting was no small matter. There was a special garden, and then a lot of ministers were summoned to watch the emperor's hunting. The emperor's hunting.
There are also clear arrangements for the time. If you don't go hunting when the time comes, the ministers will urge you. If you go hunting after the time, the ministers will reprimand you.
Of course, these rules are meaningless to a tyrant. It's a pity that Liu Chang's bad behavior is not thorough enough. A stupid young man like Zhou Chang will probably not survive for two days under Jie and Zhou. As a benevolent and righteous king, Liu Chang naturally cannot
Those who attacked him, and then the direct ministers headed by Zhou Chang, began to admonish him endlessly, which made Liu Chang lose interest in hunting.
As for going out to have a drink and look at beauties, don't even think about it. Such a big guard leads the soldiers behind him, and he goes to a wine shop? And teases beauties? There is no chance at all. What's more, this Zhang Meng is also a guard.
Lieutenant, he even said it clearly without any concealment.
When Liu Chang asked him gently if he could indulge himself a little.
Zhang Meng actually said to Liu Chang angrily: Even if your Majesty strangles me to death, I will never agree. The Queen Mother sends people to inquire about your situation every day!
Only then did Liu Chang loosen his grip on his neck.
The court discussions became more and more frequent, and Liu Chang felt that he was bothered by these trivial matters every day, and he was very sad and angry.
"Your Majesty! I have something to say!"
Liu Jing stood up and bowed to Mr. Liu.
Liu Chang sat in the upper position very casually, looking reluctant and even yawning, as if he was being dragged out to work. But Liu Chang was dragged out by force. This morning, he wanted to
He decided to drop this court meeting and prepare to let Zhou Chang and Zhao Ping take care of it on his behalf.
Unexpectedly, Cao Shu was the first to object. Cao Shu said displeasedly: "As an emperor, your majesty is in charge of the world, so you must take state affairs as your top priority. How can anyone eat without plowing?"
"The country has virtuous people, and the holy kings rule... This is what Gai Gong told me at the beginning. I am not lazy, but I must listen to my teacher! I have decided not to go to court for twenty years! To express my gratitude.
Respect for the teacher!”
Liu Chang's heroic words did not last long. When Cao Shu, Fan Qing, Yong'e, and many servants knelt down and asked the emperor to go to court, Liu Chang stood up helplessly.
How can there be an emperor as diligent as me?!
At this moment, Liu Chang still had no energy, but Liu Jing had already expressed his thoughts.
"In this battle in Hexi, grain and grass were transported from all over the world...I found that after transporting grain for thousands of miles, only one minute was left to transport twenty minutes of grain to the destination...Nineteen minutes were all wasted on the road, and
Previously, His Majesty ordered various places to open villages, and the ministers will
I think that instead of transporting grain and grass, it is better to collect grain locally. Your Majesty can establish military camps in various areas on the Han border and develop a large amount of cultivated land. The local army does not have to transport grain and grass from inside, which can avoid a lot of manpower and material resources.
..”
"Farming can be divided into two types. The troops guarding the border serve as military garrison, and we then recruit some people from various places to farm the land in the border fortress and garrison for the people!"
The Han Dynasty has a large number of border guards every year. Liu Jing’s suggestion is not to let these border guards idle and let them farm. At the same time, the wealthy families in the country are also idle. Let them take their families to the border to farm.
Bar.
Liu Chang, who was still feeling low at first, was no longer sleepy in an instant.
He raised his head and said: "You mean to give up the domestic farming and implement double farming in Hexi, Tang, Yan, and other places?"
"Yes, even if the government does not urge the cultivated land in the country, the people will develop and cultivate it, but the situation is different on the border... Nowadays, there are more and more people in the country, but they are all concentrated in a few counties in the Central Plains. The rest of the places are still
The population is sparsely populated... His Majesty can order relocation..."
Zhou Chang immediately stood up and objected, "Your Majesty, what Liu Gong said is not unreasonable, but it is really inappropriate to forcibly relocate the people."
"In order to develop frontier fortresses, the Qin State forcibly relocated people to places such as South Vietnam, Yunzhong, and Shuofang... As a result, the people here were particularly dissatisfied with the temples and rebelled many times. This is a policy that will cause the temples to lose the support of the people and cannot be implemented!
"
Liu Chang touched his chin and thought for a moment.
"There is no need for forced relocation. Let's do paid relocation. Those who wish to do so will come... Those who wish to relocate will be given compensation and rewards, such as titles, farm tools, and cattle. They will be given what they deserve."
, don’t save...”
Liu Jing couldn't help but frowned, and he reminded: "Your Majesty, some people cannot be forcibly moved, and some people can. As I said, they can be moved."
All the ministers knew what he meant. It was not enough for him to invent the mausoleum system. He was preparing to forcefully relocate the wealthy families no matter how upright it was!
Liu Chang frowned and reprimanded displeasedly: "I treat all people in the world equally, how can I be so messy?!"
Upon hearing Liu Chang's reprimand, Liu Jing sighed and lowered his head helplessly.
The ministers couldn't help but feel proud. Your Majesty is a benevolent and righteous king. How could you listen to the words of a sycophant like you?
Liu Chang said: "Don't talk about forced relocation anymore. Such things must be done voluntarily! Mr. Liu, then I leave this matter to you! Take care of it, remember, it must be voluntary."
!”
Liu Jing's eyes lit up and he understood immediately.
He replied seriously: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, you will definitely volunteer!"
The ministers were hesitant to speak, but this thing is going to take care of it???
Zhou Chang knew the virtue of this man and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to let me handle this matter."
"Oh, Duke Zhou? How is the construction of Chidao that you are responsible for?"
"this...."
"snort!"
Liu Chang walked away, obviously very dissatisfied with Zhou Chang's work efficiency.
After the court meeting was over, when Liu Jing was about to leave, Zhou Chang finally caught up with him, tugged on his sleeve, and said earnestly: "Mr. Liu, like you, I don't like tyrants who bully the people, but these
You can't have all the powerful people... The Han Dynasty is not the Qin Dynasty, so you can't interfere in everything. Some local things are the responsibility of the clan, the three elders, and the powerful people... You..."
"Please rest assured... My time with Emperor Gao is no shorter than yours... You have won His Majesty's love because of your strong character. I am just not as good as you in this regard."
Liu Jing's words 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 court clothes for him. Cao Shu just looked on with a smile, but Fan Qing frowned displeased. After Liu Chang ascended the throne, the Queen Mother
Naturally, Yong'e was sent here. Yong'e didn't have any shyness about becoming a bride. With the unique enthusiasm of a Bashu beauty, she greeted the two sisters with a smile.
Cao Shu was the oldest, and as the mother of four children, she was very tolerant of the shrewd Yong'e and asked her kindly about the situation at home.
The senses that Cao Shu gave Yong'e were also very good. As she grew older, Cao Shu became more and more temperamental. She was dignified and beautiful, virtuous and gentle. She treated others enthusiastically and was able to handle everything in the palace.
, Mu Yi Tianxia is absolutely right to describe her.
Cao Shu originally thought that as she grew older, 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.
So close to her that sometimes I would stay with her for five or six days in a row and not want to let go.
It was Cao Shu who took the initiative to remind him and asked him to go find Fan Qing.
Of course Fan Qing would not resent Cao Shu who was so good to him, but this newcomer was something Fan Qing didn't like.
The characters of Yong'e and Fan Qing are relatively close, but completely different. Fan Qing is also very naughty, but more arrogant and a little willful. Yong'e's naughtyness is due to her attitude. She doesn't seem to be afraid of anyone, but she is not afraid of anyone.
He won't look for trouble like Fan Qing, and he won't do things just because of his own temper.
When Liu Chang left the hall and said he was going to find Zhaoping to discuss matters, Fan Qing finally spoke.
"This is not the wild land of Bashu. We still have to follow the rules when doing things here."
"My eldest sister didn't even pounce on me, but you, a newcomer, dare to run in front of my eldest sister?"
Yong'e glanced at her and laughed, "You are the same age as me, why do you scold me?"
"My father is Wuyang Wuhou!"
"My father is Marquis Zifangsu!"
"My father ranks fifth! Your father ranks over fifty!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Cao Shu made a serious face and said, "Qing! Don't do this!"
Cao Shu spoke, and Fan Qing could only glance at Yong'e secretly, not daring to speak. Yong'e didn't take her seriously at all, smiled, and went to hold the child. Yong'e liked children very much.
, this is somewhat similar to Fan Qing. Cao Shu looked at these people helplessly and shook her head, why did she only have so many children to take care of?
"Mom~~~~"
A loud shout interrupted Cao Shu's emotion. She turned around and saw Liu An, covered in mud, walking into the hall. She raised her head and said, "I'm hungry!"
"I just washed the clothes yesterday!!!"
Cao Shu immediately exploded and picked up a stick to hit her. Fan Qing quickly protected the stick behind her.
Liu An also quickly explained, "Mom, I'm not just playing around. I went to Shangfang to help the craftsmen there... You can't blame me! I have good intentions too!"
"Shuzi! Come here!"
There is a happy and harmonious atmosphere in Houde Hall.
.......
“Great joy!!!”
“Great joy!!!”
"The new emperor ascends the throne!!!"
"The King of Tang ascends the throne!!!"
The scout carried Chang'an's edict and shouted along the road. When he rushed into the military camp on horseback, the entire military camp was boiling. The soldiers had different expressions and shouted one after another. The Tang Army could be heard in the distance.
The shocking roar coming from over there made them extremely happy.
Disturbed by the complicated sounds, Gua'a rushed out of the camp. He looked very tired after working day and night. He looked around suspiciously and asked, "What did they say?"
Xiahou Zao, who walked out together, rubbed his eyes and said dullly: "I didn't hear it clearly... It seems that the emperor has died and the king has ascended the throne?"
"OK!!"
Guan'a subconsciously wanted to clap her hands and applaud, but suddenly felt something was wrong, "Are you sure?"
When the news reached the army in the Western Regions, the soldiers cheered and were very excited. Even Zhou Yafu was no exception. His own king became emperor. Even he, who had always been calm, had a smile on his face at this moment.
It's impossible to hide it.
Only a certain lieutenant had a cold face at the moment and didn't look very happy.
"Lieutenant, why do you look unhappy when the king has ascended the throne?"
Han Xin snorted coldly and said: "What is there to be happy about? Get ready to continue chasing Jizhu! We will celebrate after we defeat Jizhu!"
Zhou Yafu was scolded and could only bow his head and accept it.
Han Xin calmly picked up the map in front of him and looked at it for a moment. The atmosphere was somewhat silent. Zhou Yafu did not dare to celebrate anymore. He just lowered his head and occasionally raised his head secretly to glance at the Taiwei. At this moment, the Taiwei suddenly
Throwing down the map in his hand, he asked angrily: "When the new emperor ascends the throne, he needs the Taiwei to lead the ministers to congratulate him, and he has to personally deliver the sword to the emperor. How did they ascend the throne when the Taiwei is not around?!"
Zhou Yafu said in a low voice: "I heard that the matter is urgent and there is no way to wait until the Taiwei arrives, so we can only let the censor take care of it instead."
"Oh...it's okay, this is all a trivial matter! The top priority is to completely defeat Jizhu...and dedicate a great victory to the new emperor."
Han Xin waved his hand casually and picked up the map.
After watching for a moment, Han Xin suddenly cursed: "What qualifications does the censor have?!"
Zhou Yafu suddenly realized that the co-author Taiwei was unhappy because he had nothing to do with him during the enthronement ceremony. This honor was taken away by the censor.
"Mr. Zhang has this idea, so naturally he won't miss it."
"Mr. Zhang...Zhang Buyi, right?"
Han Xin squinted his eyes and muttered the name.
Led by a certain great witch who did not want to be named, Han Xin successfully attacked Jizhu's base camp. Han Xin adopted a roundabout tactic, letting the Tang Army and the Longxi Army march along the Loulan expedition, cutting off the road from the north and south, and himself
It was a raid on the base camp. After being attacked, Ji Zhou found in despair that all the countries in the north and south had been controlled by the Han army, and he could only flee towards the west.
Han Xin was chasing after him, just like herding sheep, constantly driving Ji Zhou, forcing him to run all the way to the west.
Zhou Yafu was a little suspicious. The Taiwei could clearly kill Jizhu directly, so why did he drive him westward so unhurriedly?
Xiahou Zao, one of the wise men, did not disappoint Zhou Yafu. He gave his own answer, "Respect yourself when raising bandits!"
It would be fine if he just said this in private, but the wonderful thing about Xiahou Zao is that he said it in front of Han Xin.
The lieutenant expressed that he was very pleased that he had such a useful brain, and immediately reused him in the rear army to take care of wounded horses.
Zhou Yafu has always been an outlier among the virtuous people, and some are not worthy of the title of virtuous person.
He did not think that the lieutenant was trying to support the bandits to respect themselves, so he asked Han Xin several times, but Han Xin did not tell him, but said disdainfully: "There is no difference between you and Xiahou Zao."
Zhou Yafu didn't get the answer from Han Xin, but he got it from his father.
Zhou Bo was much calmer than before, and no longer looked arrogant. Facing his confused son, he reminded him: "This is using the enemy as a scout to explore the road... The Taiwei has a big heart."
, His Majesty’s appetite is even greater, and the Western Region cannot be filled... This is probably to prepare for the future strategy of marching westward..."
Jizou finally admitted defeat and hurriedly ordered the troops to withdraw to the west with the remaining troops.
He made up his mind, no matter how scary the west side is, it will definitely not be as scary as the monster chasing him. Jizhou still can't understand the situation in the west, but no matter how bad the situation is, can it be worse than now? The enemies there are
No matter how scary it is, can it be scarier than the one behind you?
Western Expedition! Western Expedition!
Jizhu was a man who did not hesitate when doing things. When Dangjiu led the army towards the southwest, the Huns army marched towards unknown and unfamiliar areas in a mighty manner.
After Han Xin drove the Huns out of the Western Regions in large numbers, he did not continue to pursue them. He just sent people to inquire about the situation in the distance. He was waiting for a reply from the temple. The Western Regions had been sorted out. Let's send someone to garrison them.
After galloping for a long time, Jizhu's vanguard army finally encountered the first obstacle.
It was a strange village with a group of strange soldiers. They spoke a language that even the Huns did not know. They took out their sticks aggressively and prepared to teach the unknown barbarians in front of them a lesson.
