"I, King Tuo of Nanyue, kowtow a hundred times and respectfully greet His Majesty!"
Zhao Tuo followed the rules, knelt down in front of Liu Che's chariot, and worshiped him, saying that even though he had been specially allowed to enter the court, he would not go there and praise him.
But this kind of thing is just for the sake of appearance.
Do you really think that just because you are a foreign minister, you can rely on your special purpose to enter the court without being followed or praised and worshiped without being famous?
The corpse of King Yiqu is looking at you...
Liu Che stepped down from the cart with a smile, and went forward with all the civil and military officials, including Liang Wang Liu Wu and Jiangdu Wang Liu Yan.
"King of Nanyue, haven't I already issued an edict?" Liu Che helped Zhao Tuo up with a smile and said: "King, as the elder of Southern Xinjiang whom I respect, I cannot bear such a great gift from the King of Nanyue..."
Although he said this, Liu Che had quietly changed the original name of Nanguo to Nanjiang.
From the mouth, it turned the Nanyue Kingdom into an internal vassal similar to Liang Kingdom and Jiangdu Kingdom.
When Zhao Tuo heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he still pinched his nose and accepted it.
From Zhao Tuo's perspective, today's Han family is not much worse than it was during the heyday of the Qin Dynasty.
The Qin Dynasty was able to overcome all difficulties and swallow up the world. Today's Han Dynasty still has the ability to defeat the world and dominate the world.
Even with one hand tied, Zhao Tuo felt that even if South Vietnam tried its best, it would still be defeated.
This has nothing to do with will and courage, it is purely a generational difference in strength.
What's more, there is the evil thief Min Yue peeking behind my butt.
Liu Che took Zhao Tuo and took a look at this person he had always wanted to see. He was praised by Emperor Taizu as "the first cadre to go south", who opened up Guangdong and Guangxi for the Xia people, and made them never leave again.
A national hero who crossed the Chinese territory.
Zhao Tuo is indeed very old.
He is at least ninety-six years old this year!
Therefore, it is reasonable that his teeth have fallen out and his skin has shriveled.
But he still looked energetic. Even after traveling countless miles, he didn't look too tired.
This made Liu Che want to ask Zhao Tuo the secret of longevity.
However, this matter was also spinning in his mind.
Emperors have never lived long since ancient times. No matter what kind of emperor he is, if he can live to be sixty years old, he is considered to be Amitabha.
Qianlong of the Manchu Qing Dynasty seemed to be quite good at playing, and he lived to be eighty.
This also fully shows how unreliable Qianlong is, and he is still a perfect old man. As an emperor, he lived to be eighty years old? I can only say that you are a heartless scumbag who has never considered the problem. Really
Disgraced his father's face!
"Publish the edict!" Liu Che ordered Wang Dao beside him. The latter immediately understood and clapped his hands. Immediately, a minister came out with a volume of silk book and said: "The emperor has issued an edict. All of South Vietnam must obey orders."
Zhao Tuo, members of the South Vietnamese mission and other Han ministers and nobles knelt down quickly.
But Zhao Tuo was pulled by Liu Che and told him to bow down.
"I heard that in the past, the Taigong ruled Qi and the Duke of Zhou ruled Lu, which was just for enlightenment. Since the three kings and the five emperors have descended, the kings have sent virtuous people to pacify the barbarians. Therefore, during the Qin Dynasty, the general Tu Sui was appointed as the captain of Nanhai.
Xiao, under the orders of Emperor Qin, led his troops to the south to conquer Baiyue, massacred Sui and died. Ren Xiao died in the line of duty.
I commend this loyal minister and righteous man for his trip.
Therefore, the former Qin general Tu Sui was posthumously granted the title of Marquis of Annan; the former Qin Nanhai Captain Ren Xiao was granted the title of Marquis of Dingnan.
He was allowed to be buried beside the Qin Emperor's mausoleum, and his bones were covered with the Qin Emperor's military flag for burial.
So that the loyal ministers and filial sons in the world will know my will clearly!"
"I respectfully obey the imperial edict!" All civil and military officials worshiped: "Long live, long live, long live!"
It's just a matter of chasing two dead people from the Qin Dynasty. It's no big deal. It's just a mourning honor.
Moreover, China has had a tradition since ancient times of the new dynasty honoring loyal ministers of the previous dynasty.
This Tu Sui and Ren Xiao can probably barely be counted?
If we add the Nanyue King Zhao Tuo to the court, the word "reluctant" can be removed!
But Zhao Tuo was extremely grateful after hearing this. He quickly knelt down and thanked him: "Your Majesty, I am so grateful. I am so grateful!"
For Zhao Tuo, the person he owes the most in his life is his old boss Ren Xiao.
Back then, before Ren Xiao died, he entrusted all his power, army and people to him.
Instead of letting his son inherit.
But he failed to protect the benefactor's son and he died of illness.
For decades, Zhao Tuo felt deeply regretful.
Now, I can get my old boss a marquis title conferred by the Emperor of China and enjoy the sacrifice.
This more or less made up for his shortcomings.
"I'm not doing this just for the sake of the King of Nanyue..." Liu Che said to Zhao Tuo with a smile: "This is the reward they deserve. Emperor Qin left early, I will help him make up for it!"
"The people I admire most are Guan Zhong and Taigong Wang!" Liu Che looked into the distance and said: "What I admire is not their civil and martial arts, nor their amazing talents and wisdom. Those who can compare with these two people.
Like a crucian carp crossing a river!"
"The reason why I admire and respect these two sages is because Taigong ruled Qi and turned the barbarians into Xia, so that the descendants of our country can have Qi, Lu, Guan Zhong and nine princes, and they can bring peace to the world, so that today's China will not be
I was slapped on the left side of my neck and there was a smell all over the place!"
Liu Che looked at Zhao Tuo: "Though Tu Sui and Ren Xiao are ministers of Qin, they are trying to expand the southern borders of our Xia. There are no heroes in the civil war and no thieves in the foreign war!"
"This is my opinion!"
Saying this, Liu Che thought of Chen Tang.
Chen Tang has a mixed reputation in history books.
Some people say that he uttered the voice of a strong man, saying, "Anyone who openly offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away." In the endless years to come, he will become the sword of Daskmo that always hangs over the heads of the northern barbarians. No one can guarantee that
, if we offend China, will it trigger a massive military conquest?
However, some people used Chen Tang's personal ethics to attack him, saying that he was greedy for fame and wealth, and was simply unworthy of being a minister.
But in Liu Che's eyes, generals who fight abroad are no matter whether they are scum or gentlemen, scholar-bureaucrats or criminals, or even eunuchs.
No matter what, they are all heroes.
At the very least, he's not a bad guy!
In contrast, no matter how well the civil war is fought, it is just killing each other. Unless it is to punish the people, or to fight for unification like Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, it is not worthy of praise.
"The poem says: 啴々焞々. Like thunder and thunder, I showed my support to Uncle Fang, conquered the wolves, and the barbarians came to threaten! Yi Yun: If you have a good person, you will lose your head, but if you get a bandit, you will be ugly. That's what it means!" Liu Che put his hands behind his back.
He said: "Sima Fa said: The reward for the army should not exceed a month, because we want the people to get the benefits of doing good quickly. If the Emperor of Qin does not reward, and I will not reward again, how can I make the heroes of the world know my inner ambition?"
The fold of Yi! The thunder of poetry!
Zhao Tuo is naturally no stranger.
This is the highest praise China can give to its ministers and generals.
Tu Sui and Ren Xiao. It was really unexpected for Zhao Tuo that these two old bosses could receive such level of praise from the emperor of China.
At the same time, his impression of the young emperor began to improve infinitely.
Soldiers are basically like this.
They will always love and support those kings who support their expansion.
Although the current emperor is not the Emperor of Qin, he is already the common ruler of the world!
"Your Majesty, Tianwei. I admire you..." Zhao Tuo said to Liu Che seriously: "First general, first captain, if Jiuquan knows about it, he will also be willing to fight for your majesty!"
"Haha..." Liu Che accepted Zhao Tuo's flattery without caring at all.
…………………………
The next day, Zhao Tuo realized that he still did not understand the words of the young Chinese emperor deeply enough.
At this moment, Zhao Tuo was in front of the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shihuang in Lishan Mountain.
The upper and lower parts of Lishan Mountain have been renovated. On the mountain, there are also several temples offering sacrifices to the kings of Qin in the past dynasties.
This is almost always a face-saving project done by Chinese dynasties in the past dynasties.
Sending a few households of peasants to offer sacrifices to the kings of the previous dynasty and guard their tombs is not a high cost, but the effect is great.
Usually it can appease the old people left by the previous dynasty.
Although there are no survivors in the Qin State now, but by doing this, the world can see it, right?
What really made Zhao Tuo solemn was the scene that appeared in front of him now:
He brought the coffins of the Qin army generals from Nanyue to Chang'an. The more than a hundred ownerless coffins that had not found their families to accept them were uniformly covered with the Black Dragon Flag of the Qin Empire.
The forbidden troops of the Han army wore the black robes and armor of the Qin army.
There were twelve people in one team and twelve teams in one row, carrying the Qin army's coffins and standing motionless at the foot of Mount Li.
Twelve Qin Dynasty chariots, fully loaded with soldiers, drove past the straight military columns standing at these stations.
"Stand silently!" the officer on the chariot ordered loudly.
All the soldiers in the phalanx stood tall and held their chests high.
Then, a whole group of Han soldiers walked down from Lishan Mountain.
These soldiers walked in neat steps, wore bright armor, and held swords with shimmering cold light in their hands, walking down the road on Lishan Mountain step by step, very rhythmically.
The distance between each soldier is exactly the same.
This group of soldiers walked down the mountain road and walked in front of the military formation. A Han military captain who took the lead took a step forward, solemnly placed the Modao in his hand on the left side, and then turned around in a beautiful and wonderful way, facing himself.
His subordinates: "Stand at attention! Pay tribute to the fallen generals of the great army of Qin Zhengyue who died in battle!"
The army of hundreds of people immediately puffed up their chests and sang the song Qin Feng. Wuyi loudly.
"How can I say that I have no clothes..."
After finishing the song "No Clothes", the troops immediately lined up on both sides of the road, holding the Mo Dao in their hands, raising their heads and raising their chests. The Mo Dao was slightly tilted forward, as if to welcome their comrades returning in triumph.
Twelve civil servants from Taichang stood in front of the coffins. Each of them held a thick stack of silk cloth in their hands.
Under Zhao Tuo's gaze, these civil servants held these silk cloths, and then each stood in front of a coffin.
"Therefore, the captain of the State of Qin, conquering the greater general, and waiting for Tu Sui in the south of Han An!" A civil servant walked to Tu Sui's coffin, unfolded a piece of silk cloth loudly, and read: "Although you are a minister of Qin, you are also my minister.
I order you to pay tribute and sacrifice forever!"
Then, the two soldiers came forward respectfully, took the silk book, and then solemnly placed it on Tu Sui's coffin.
"Therefore, Qin's Nanhai Commandery and Commander-in-Chief, conquered the larger generals, and Han Dingnan was appointed as Xiao!" Another person sang loudly: "Although you are a minister of Qin, you are also my minister. I order your minister to pay tribute and sacrifice forever!"
Then, a silk book was placed on Ren Xiao's coffin.
"rise!"
At the same time, the two Han army commanders walked to the two coffins, stood upright, took out the swords from their waists, held them flat in front of their chests, and stepped forward.
The coffin-carrying soldiers behind him followed the steps of the officers in front with precise steps. Step by step, they passed through the sword formation composed of Modao and walked up Lishan Mountain.
Almost at the same time, drumming not far away sounded.
A choir composed of hundreds of Guanzhong people and gentry sang the famous "Getting Out of the Car" to the sound of music.
"I got out of my chariot and drove it there. From where the Emperor came, he told me that I had come. I summoned his servant and told him that he was here. The king's affairs are many and difficult, and he must keep them in check."
The coffins of Tu Sui and Ren Xiao were carried to the foot of Mount Li.
At this time, Zhao Tuo discovered that a huge group of burial tombs had been dug out on the side of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum at the foot of Mount Li.
There are more than a hundred tombs, standing in parallel.
There is even a huge stone tablet standing in front of the tombs.
Zhao Tuo took a closer look and saw a long poem engraved on the stone tablet: Since ancient times, no one has ever died, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history! There is also a note next to it: Therefore, this is where the generals of Qin Zhengyue's army rest.
“Leave your loyalty to reflect history!”
Zhao Tuo muttered this sentence and suddenly remembered it.
At that time, Lieutenant Tu Sui was ambushed by the Yue people and was hit by an arrow in the cheek. As a deputy general, he immediately led people to rescue him, but Tu Sui pushed him away, pulled out the poisonous arrow from his cheek, and shouted to the sky: "I
Expand territory for the emperor and die a worthy death!"
For decades, Zhao Tuo never understood why Tu Sui said this before he died.
Now, he finally understands.
"Loyal ministers and righteous men..." Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart: "It's a pity that I am not..."
If he had been a loyal minister of the First Emperor, he would not have been resentful of the second generation's incompetence, so he destroyed the pass and blocked the road.
Instead, like Wang Li, Qin Ting gave an order and immediately led the Great Wall Corps to support Zhang Han, completely ignoring what happened behind him.
"In the past, I left, and the millet and grain were blooming. Now I come to think about it, and the rain and snow have carried me on my journey. The king's affairs are so difficult that he does not hesitate to leave home. Wouldn't he not be eager to return home? Fear this simple letter." A choir composed of common people used the words
The solemn and solemn voice just sang this section.
The two teams of soldiers carried the coffins of Tu Sui and Ren Xiao and buried the two old bosses into the two central tombs. Then, some soldiers carried a huge black dragon flag and covered the entire tomb.
Above that, filling and burying began.
"The spring is coming late, and the flowers and trees are luxuriant. The warehouses are being sowed, and the weeds are being harvested. The executions are ugly..." Zhao Tuo couldn't help crying as he watched the coffins of Tu Sui and Ren Xiao being buried in the soil.
Zongheng, sing along.
Then, Zhao Tuo saw that soldiers had erected a lifelike stone sculpture for him in front of Tu Sui's tomb. The black-robed Qin general on the stone sculpture reined in his horse and stopped, as if looking back at his hometown.
In front of Ren Xiao's tomb, there is a stone sculpture with a sword and a horse standing.
"This is a state funeral..." Zhao Tuo didn't understand what he saw here.
During the Qin Dynasty, which official had such a sacred and solemn funeral and mourning ceremony?
Zhao Tuo shook his head, no!
Even Wu Anjun, who was extremely accomplished, ended up with a bad death in the end!
only……
Zhao Tuo looked back at the Han emperor who had been sitting on the chariot, and he didn't quite understand: What does this emperor mean by making such a big show of things? (.)
