The layout of the royal palace of Nanyue Kingdom is very similar to that of Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City of Han Dynasty.
There are even some places that are completely replicas of the Han Dynasty Weiyang Palace layout.
For example, like Chang'an, its palace has a layout similar to the three palaces of Weiyang, Changle and Prince in Chang'an.
The location of the palace complex where Zhao Tuo usually worked and lived almost overlapped with the location of Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City.
The Weiyang and Changle palaces of the Han Dynasty were founded on the soil of Longshou Mountain and were higher than Chang'an City to demonstrate the majesty of the emperor.
South Vietnam does not have such good technology.
So the craftsmen of South Vietnam simply built the palace on the mountain.
Under the eaves of the palace, the design of the Weiyang Palace of the Han Dynasty was completely copied, and it was surrounded by cobblestones for water distribution.
Lu Yuan looked at these inexplicably familiar palace furnishings and smiled slightly.
Just as his grandfather said: 'Although Wang Tuo calls himself the Great Elder of the Barbarians, his heart is really that of Zhu Xia...'
If you were really determined to be a Yi Di, this Nanyue Palace would not be like this.
He will definitely be like Wei Man Korea, who was proud of being sent to the left and not using the Chinese writing system.
Under the guidance of the palace eunuch, Lu Yuan arrived at the main hall of the palace.
"Angel please..." The eunuch who led the way opened the palace door and said to Lu Yuan: "The grandson is listening to the emperor's edict in the palace..."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan straightened his clothes, picked up a silk book, and walked into the palace.
This hall is already filled with ministers and nobles from the Kingdom of Nanyue.
These people looked at Lu Yuan, their eyes full of dissatisfaction and resentment.
Lu Yuan looked at these people, smiled at the corner of his mouth, held the silk book, raised his head and chest, and said seriously: "The emperor of Han issued an edict, and the emperor and ministers of Nanyue accepted the edict!"
Not to mention these South Vietnamese ministers and nobles.
Even Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, had to kneel down obediently and listen respectfully to the edict issued by the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
It was precisely for this reason that Zhao Tuo sent his grandson out to receive the imperial edict.
"Your Majesty, Grandson Hu, King of Nanyue, is here to listen to the edict!" A young man from the Nanyue royal family walked down from the upper seat in the palace. He stepped down from the throne, prostrated to the hall, and kowtowed three times.
Seeing that all the descendants had already knelt down, the other South Vietnamese nobles and ministers looked at each other, then reluctantly knelt down and said: "I will listen to the holy edict attentively!"
Lu Yuan spread out the silk book and read: "I regard the king of the world as the father and mother of the people. I am entrusted by heaven to be the guardian of the world. In the past, I have issued an edict to all countries in the world: Anyone who offends a strong man will be punished even if he is far away from the end of the world.
Yes! Now I heard that there is a minister in South Vietnam who is good at killing my people. He ordered King Tuo of South Vietnam to listen to my orders and immediately arrest the murderer. Send officials to arrest the culprit. I will send the court captain, Taichang and Changsha Wang Taifu to deal with this.
case!"
Following Lu Yuan's voice, the faces of the South Vietnamese ministers and nobles in the palace showed annoyance, and some even clenched their fists loudly.
This Chinese emperor’s edict is really bullying!
The legal system and political structure of the Nanyue Kingdom completely copied the Qin system.
They naturally know what miscellaneous treatment is.
The so-called miscellaneous governance means that when the emperor faces certain doubtful or serious cases, in order to convince the people of the world, he orders the relevant departments, often multiple ministers, and sometimes even the prime minister to take the lead, to jointly hear the case, and then
Report the results to the emperor, who will make the final decision.
This is a legal protection to avoid unjust, false and wrongful convictions and major political accidents.
Although it seems that the Chinese emperor's orders are reasonable, beneficial and restrained.
But in fact, once South Vietnam accepted this order, it would open the door for Chinese law to be superior to South Vietnam's law.
What's more, the emperor's edict made no mention of allowing South Vietnamese subjects to participate in the trial.
In other words, when the time comes, the Chinese ministers can completely confuse right and wrong, and even frame the incident and shift all the responsibility to South Vietnam.
By that time, South Vietnam will be extremely passive.
Even Lu Yuan felt that the emperor's order was too tough and would be difficult for the South Vietnamese to accept.
I am afraid that this is also the purpose of the emperor. The Han Dynasty was very particular about not teaching but punishing those who were punished for abuse.
Under the guidance of this guiding ideology of military diplomacy and domestic affairs, the imperial court has always been polite before fighting, and taught before punishing.
This was the case with the invasion of Korea the year before last.
Nowadays, South Vietnam is generally taking the same approach as North Korea. Let me tell you first, this is a red line. You cannot step on it. If you continue to step on it, you are seeking your own death.
As for this red line, whether others accept it and whether they are willing to do so is another matter.
In short, the imperial court will inevitably uphold the minimum hands-on principle and dress itself up as the embodiment of justice on the surface.
"The rulers and ministers of South Vietnam should be aware of my wishes to avoid the tragic song of Mai Xiu. This is not what I want!" After Lu Yuan read the last sentence, he gathered up the silk book and said: "King Tuo of South Vietnam, please accept the imperial edict!"
Zhao Hu raised his head and looked at Lu Yuan. Zhao Hu naturally knew what the emperor's edict said about "The Elegy of Mai Xiu".
It is said that when a small child passes through his homeland and feels sad, he composes the song of Mai Xiu.
There is no doubt that this is the most severe warning from the Emperor of China.
Zhao Hu, who was familiar with the Han family system, knew very well that if he refused to accept the conditions of the Han Emperor, it would be equivalent to declaring war on the Han Emperor!
Now, who can stop the Han army from attacking?
Zhao Hu remembered the appearance and weapons and equipment of the Han army he had seen in Chang'an.
He knew and clearly realized that once the elite Han army moved south, the South Vietnamese Kingdom, although it was said to be bounded by Nanling in the north and Jiaozhi in the south, was more than ten thousand miles from east to west, but in fact it was still little more than a paste.
China's national strength, military power, weapons and equipment, personnel quality, and combat effectiveness all far exceed that of South Vietnam.
What's more, the Chinese emperor was born sacred, received orders from heaven, and received the help of gods. This is a fact recognized by all people in Vietnam.
Today, in counties and tribes under the rule of South Vietnam, countless people worship the Emperor of Han at home and pray in the direction of Chang'an every day, asking this holy emperor who can foresee disasters and communicate with ghosts and gods to bless them.
Under such circumstances, I am afraid that there is a big question mark as to whether the army will have the courage to resist when facing the Han army's attack.
It is very likely that once the two armies confront each other and the war goes slightly unfavorable, our own army will immediately flee.
Countless soldiers who believed deeply in the gods would abandon their weapons and equipment and either run home or run to the Han army camp opposite and kneel down to ask for surrender.
At that time, I am afraid that the South Vietnamese nation will soon face the danger of overthrowing. In the future, I am afraid that he, the king's grandson, will really be like the villain in history, who will be sad to see his homeland, burst into tears, and feel nostalgic for the mountains and rivers.
"Mencius said: Zhou is the emperor, but his death is inferior to that of an ordinary man!" Thinking of this sentence of Mencius that he had read in a book, Zhao Hu also sighed in his heart.
King Lian Zhou, the lord of the world, once he was convicted of a crime by heaven, he would be as messy as a common man when he was about to die.
Naturally, South Vietnam must not embark on such a dead end!
But……
Zhao Hu thought of the bottom line his grandfather told him this morning. He could hand it over to his head, but not to others.
If possible, it is best not to hand over your head.
Of course, when things develop to this point, those guys must die.
Otherwise, the emperor of the Han Dynasty would lose face.
However, there is a huge gap between my grandfather's bottom line and the emperor's imperial edict and requirements!
This can no longer be solved by negotiation, begging, or begging for mercy.
Thinking like this, Zhao Hu bowed his head and said: "Angel, my grandfather has been feeling unwell recently. Can you please allow me to allow you a few days of grace, and I will reply to the angel after my grandfather takes charge of the government?"
Nowadays, what South Vietnam lacks most is time!
As long as enough time can be delayed, certain relationships can be opened up, and people can say good things to the emperor, there may be room for change in this matter.
It's nothing more than a loss of money.
The eldest princess of Chang'an and the nobles of the court are famous for taking money to do things, being honest and fair, and being fair and honest.
What's more, recently, the Nanyue Kingdom has also established some relationships with the Zhuo family, Cheng Zheng, a relative of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, through its younger brother Yelangguo, and has carried out some business cooperation.
For example, exporting labor, introducing investment, etc.
In the Jiaozhi jungle, there were a lot of savages, tribes and barbarians who were not loyal to Pan Yu, all of which were the resources that the two big men desperately needed.
The South Vietnamese Kingdom also welcomed the high-quality and low-priced ironware from Shu County.
Take those unruly barbarians and barbarians who refuse to surrender to Pan Yu and exchange them with Shu County for iron weapons. This kind of business has made the cooperation between the two parties very happy in the past few years.
Not long ago, his grandfather even prepared to send an envoy to invite those two noblemen to invest in South Vietnam and provide them with preferential policies.
It's a pity that something like this happened before I even contacted you!
Otherwise, if there is such a relationship, Nanyue's memorial may be able to go directly to the emperor's case and state his grievances to the emperor.
Well, in Zhao Hu’s opinion, South Vietnam was really wronged this time!
It is even very possible that he was framed.
It is a pity that the mastermind behind the scenes complained before the evildoers, causing South Vietnam to fall into the predicament it is in today.
Those businessmen were indeed killed by South Vietnamese soldiers.
But the South Vietnamese soldiers who went to kill people were entrusted by others.
As far as Zhao Hu knew, in the past few years, as the Han Dynasty redeveloped comprehensive trade with South Vietnam and established a common market, many Han merchants entered South Vietnam to sell goods.
These people competed with each other, and when they couldn't play clearly, they resorted to mischief, hiring "heroes" to intercept and kill competitors on the wilderness roads, and even bribed South Vietnamese officials, framed and framed them, and used all possible means.
But in the past, similar methods were used in South Vietnam.
The victims basically become corpses, and corpses will not complain.
But this time, something went wrong.
I don’t know how it happened, but in short, a group of South Vietnamese officers and soldiers who were taking money from others to help them eliminate disasters encountered an iron plate. Not only did they not succeed in intercepting them, they were bitten severely by the opponent.
Originally, this matter was probably settled like this.
However, the South Vietnamese soldiers who ran back brought terrible news to their immediate superiors.
Those Han merchants who were intercepted and killed threatened to go to Chang'an to file a complaint and let the Emperor of the Han Dynasty administer justice and severely punish the South Vietnamese traitors who "indulged the officers and soldiers, robbed and killed the merchants".
The boss of these South Vietnamese soldiers happened to be the nephew of South Vietnam Prime Minister Lu Jia, South Vietnam Lieutenant Lu Dao.
According to Lu Dao's own confession, he was "confused for a moment" because he was "afraid of being punished by the emperor, so he silenced himself."
But if he suppressed his reputation and went to the Han Dynasty to check the market, we can only say that this Lu Dao is a fool!
However, things have already happened.
Even if Lu Dao is cut into pieces, there is nothing that can be done to save him.
As soon as he thought about this, Zhao Hu wanted to send someone to chop that Lu Dao into minced meat!
Lu Yuan looked at Zhao Hu's sincere look and sighed in his heart.
If it had been in the past, Zhao Hu would have readily agreed to this request.
but now……
Lu Yuan knew very well that if he dared to agree, the Qilu kings and local celebrities would tear him apart later.
The Lu family's decades of reputation and connections would be lost in one fell swoop.
"King Tuo of South Vietnam, please accept the imperial edict!" Lu Yuan repeated his words unhurriedly.
He knew that this was enough.
Zhao Tuo must know the meaning of his words.
The only way for the South Vietnamese people to survive now is to obey the orders obediently.
In this way, although you may lose some face, you will still be reduced to a vassal state of the Han Dynasty in the true sense.
But at least the Nanyue Sheji and ancestral temples were preserved.
In the future, the royal family of South Vietnam will be treated as well as Wu Bin, the king of Changsha, who will be hereditary and will rule Panyu forever.
Of course, most of the local civil power and military and diplomatic power must be handed over to the central government, and at least they must accept the guidance of Chang'an.
If the rulers and ministers of South Vietnam refuse to obey the imperial edict.
Then, this is fighting against the emperor!
I have been punished by God and have nothing to pray for!
Heroes from three mountains and five mountains, from all over the world, will gather from all directions under the banner of the Han army, and the ships will sail down the river, and the tribes will cross the five ridges and go straight to Panyu.
By then the earth will be shaken and the mountains will be shaken, and even the King of Heaven and I will be unable to save South Vietnam.
Lu Yuan knew very well how determined the Qilu kings were this time.
King Liu Jianglu of Qi and his brothers, in order to find a land for their sons to become feudal states, were able to sell iron and support the Han army to destroy South Vietnam and take over the entire South Vietnam!
The local gentry and aristocrats are even more dissatisfied, and they also hope to replicate the story of Huaihua's Enling in South Vietnam.
Even if it doesn't work, I'll have to eat some slave food to stuff my stomach.
As for the princes and generals of the imperial court, they long for military success as urgently as the dry land longs for the moisture of rain.
Countless princes' descendants are all gearing up to gain military glory.
Under such a situation, the rulers and ministers of South Vietnam had no choice but to first accept the emperor's edict and express their absolute surrender and determination not to resist the emperor's will. Then, they could slowly make plans and use money and silk to bribe the nobles in the court, especially the Eastern Palace, and say it in front of the emperor.
Good words, and at the same time appease the public sentiments and civil opinions that are now jumping up and down in Chang'an.
Otherwise, the army's advance would be imminent.
Zhao Hu looked at Lu Yuan and was stunned.
He lowered his head and found it difficult to make a decision.
After all, he is just a descendant, not the master of this country.
The decisions he makes may not count.
If he accepts the order first and then vetoes it from his grandfather, it will inevitably lead to the situation getting out of control.
Even though my grandfather was worried about the situation in the end, he pinched his nose and admitted it.
But his position as the crown prince will probably be in vain. The nobles in the country, especially the leaders of the Baiyue tribes, will definitely be extremely dissatisfied with his performance! (To be continued.)
