Destiny Only Han

Chapter 429 Liu Ying: Have you heard the sound of heartbreak?
To the south of Luoyang Palace, after crossing the Luoshui River, there is a garden where warriors in iron armor can be seen everywhere.

Here is the palace where the princes and kings who came to pay pilgrimage to Liu Bang stayed.

In the early summer season, the palace is surrounded by green trees and flowers and birds are flourishing. In a mansion near the lotus pond, there are depressing roars from time to time.

An old man with knife-like wrinkles on his face, holding a sword in his hand, blushed furiously: "The emperor, forcibly occupying the wives and concubines of his ministers, is really tolerable, what is unbearable!"

This person is Zhang Er's former disciple, Guan Gao.

Now after Zhang Cang resigned as Prime Minister of Zhao Guo and returned to Guanzhong to be the Minister of Finance, that is, the Auditor-General of the National Audit Office, Guan Gao, who was already a false prime minister (deputy prime minister) at the beginning, naturally became Prime Minister of Zhao Guo based on his seniority.

Beside Guan Gao, there is an old man who is about his age, with slightly dark skin and a tall hairline. This person is named Zhao Wu, and he is also Zhang Er's disciple. General.

Zhao Wu's face was full of anger, and he drew his long sword out of its sheath with a swipe: "Everything is up to the prime minister's orders! Even if I risk my old life, I will not hesitate!"

Guan Gao turned his head, his eyes were red, and he was full of murderous intent: "Okay! With your words, I am relieved! You immediately go to the guards to select strong and strong soldiers, enter the palace in the name of offering tribute, and wait for the opportunity to kill the Wudao Hunjun !"

Well, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there has been a saying that 'Killing the king is 36, and the country is subjugated 52', so in the eyes of these old scholars, killing a king is nothing...

Take a chestnut.

For example, in the state of Chu, there was a minister named 鬻[yù] Quan who was dissatisfied with the decision of King Wen of Chu, so he decided to appeal.

It's just that the way of Fuquan's admonition is a bit peculiar.

He directly put the weapon on King Chu Wen's neck. If you don't listen to me, we will bleed five steps today, and the world will be ruined...

At the end of the matter, naturally King Chu Wen compromised.

However, the old scholar has his own strength of character. Although Pingquan does not regret his impulsive behavior, he blames himself a little: I am afraid that the king will use soldiers, and the crime is heinous!
Then, he chopped off his own feet to apologize...

Therefore, there is a world of difference between scholars in the Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period and even the Qin and Han Dynasties, and scholars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In the abode, upon hearing Guan Gao's arrangement, Zhao Wu stood up without hesitation and walked out.

But before he reached the door, the door opened with a creak, and then they saw Zhang Ao walking in with a nervous face.

Zhao Wu went forward to salute and asked, "What is my king's intention here?"

After Zhang Ao looked outside the door, he closed the door tightly, shook his head slightly and said nothing, his face was full of panic.

Guan Gao stepped forward with his sword, and said with a bit of resentment: "Why is my king so cowardly, where is the heroic spirit of following the former king in the battlefield?"

Zhang Ao showed shame, but blocked the door without saying a word.

Guan Gao continued: "Heroes in the world rise together, and those who are able stand first! The king has no way, rapes the wives of his officials, and the Han loses his destiny. It is the time for my king to work hard..."

Zhang Ao waved his hand vigorously, then bit his finger, and said with grief and indignation:

"Sir, don't say any more... The old king was defeated by the old man Chen Yu and fled the country. Fortunately, His Majesty sent troops to help him to restore the country. Everything today is bestowed by His Majesty. What a mere woman is worth. ?”

After he finished speaking, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and turned to leave.

In the abode, Zhao Wu looked at each other in dismay, but unlike Zhao Wu's depressed face, Guan Gao's eyes were firm, and the blue veins protruding from his forehead could be seen because of anger.

He slammed his sword on the beams and pillars, panting and said: "Your Majesty is a benevolent man, and he absolutely does not want to bear the charge of killing the king! But the king insulted his ministers to death, and now the faint king insults my king, so it is me who kills the foolish king." It has nothing to do with my king if I make a temporary decision!"

After finishing speaking, Guan Gao turned to look at Zhao Wu and said: "The previous thought was that I was hasty. The faint king's swordsmanship is extraordinary and there are many soldiers around him. The assassination needs a long-term plan..."

..........................................

Luoyang Palace, banquet.

Liu Ying sat under Majesty Dan, resting her chin on her hands, seemingly listening to the simple and melodious music, but in fact she was about to fall asleep with her eyes slightly closed.

He has been very busy these days, and finally he has almost dealt with the work at hand.

The war with the Di people has ended, and the documents for asking for merit have also been handed over to Liu Bang for stamping, and they are just waiting to be sent back to Guanzhong for Xiao He to promulgate and execute on his behalf.

But it is difficult to conquer the world, and it is even more difficult to defend the world.

The location of Wudu Road is close to the Qiang tribe in the west, and nomadic Qiang people often come to beat the autumn wind.

In the past, poor people jingled, so most of the time it was the back and forth between the poor ghost and the rookie...

But now after the Han people have moved in, the next job is to build water conservancy and reclaim farmland.

Although it was not too rich in the early stage, compared with the Di people and Qiang people, it seems very oily.

Well, after the population increases, the offense and defense will naturally be different, but before that, it is very important to prevent small groups of enemies from harassing!
Liu Ying's original idea was to gather the population together and build a city wall for defense.

However, following his field visits and Liu Zhao's suggestions, the idea of ​​directly building a large residential area was shelved.

The reason is very simple. In the early stage of pioneering, a small piece of land in the valley was not enough to support the survival of thousands of families. Grain must be continuously transferred from other places to ensure the progress of land reclamation.

Although the burden is not large, it does not meet Liu Ying's original intention of setting up settlements.

Therefore, the Han people who migrated in the early stage were broken up into parts, and dozens of hundreds of households were used as a walled city, and then connected into lines to realize the control of Wudu Road.

After all, neither the Di people nor the Qiang people have any ability to attack the city. In addition, the Han country at this time can't help but bow, crossbow, knives and guns.

Liu Ying's first task in the past two days was to draw the layout of the settlements. To put it simply, it was to delete and modify the old castles in Shanxi according to his memory, and use them to build the city wall of Wudu Road.

With a small wall and specially designed roads, even if faced with a siege of more than ten times the enemy, it can still support the arrival of reinforcements.

Well, especially every household has dogs, so there is almost no possibility of being attacked.

When Liu Ying was dozing off bit by bit, she was suddenly awakened by a commotion.

In front of us, there is another tragedy of fratricide...

Well, in fact, Liu Bang used his drunkenness to get drunk again. Liu Jiao used his Confucian crown as a urinal, and then Liu Jiao refused to obey, and the two hugged tightly and wrestled...

Heh, two naive ghosts... Liu Ying looked disdainful, but she was cheering for her fourth uncle in her heart.

On the other side, Lu Jia, the doctor's servant, shook his head lightly: "It's an insult to the gentleman, it's an insult to the gentleman..."

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, let go of Liu Jiao, staggered to Lu Jia, grinned, and the smell of alcohol almost made Lu Jia turn over.

"Naigong will win the world soon, so what's the use of being gentle?"

Lu Jia frowned, with disdain on his face: "If you win the world immediately, can you rule the world immediately? Wise men like Shang, Tang, and Zhou Wu, even if you take the opposite and defend it, using both civil and military, it is a long-term technique! The Qin Dynasty used severe torture arbitrarily. If the rule of law does not change, it will eventually be destroyed. If the Qin Dynasty practiced benevolence and righteousness after unifying the world, and imitated the ancestors, how could your majesty own the world?"

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, and said with a big tongue: "Well, what you said is somewhat reasonable...Come here, reward a hundred gold!"

Just when everyone cast envious eyes on Lu Jia, a drunken voice sounded from the corner: "A few words are worth a hundred gold, and His Majesty's handling of things is too unfair!"

Liu Ying regained her spirits in an instant, and sat upright silently, preparing to eat melons.

Liu Bang looked around, his face sullen: "Who? Who is talking?"

In the corner, a middle-aged scribe came out although he was a little drunk, but looked elegant and quiet, and bowed to salute: "Doctor Zhong pays his respects to His Majesty at any time."

Seeing Sui He walk out, Ying Bu, who was chatting with Peng Yue, froze for a moment, and slowly turned around with a stiff neck.

This is his old acquaintance.

For a moment, Yingbo recalled his panic when the head of the envoy from Chu State rolled down, so he began to look forward to what happened next.

Liu Bang tilted his head and asked, "Where am I being unfair?"

Sui He cupped his hands and said: "Is the merit of the minister only worthy of a Chinese doctor with six hundred shi?"

Liu Bang looked around and laughed loudly: "You are a mere rotten Confucian who shows off his tongue. From my point of view, the Chinese doctors with six hundred shi all think highly of you!"

Sui He snorted coldly and took half a step forward: "Your Majesty, when Pengcheng was defeated in the past, there were less than [-] infantry and only [-] cavalry. With this kind of force, can you defeat King Huainan and make him submit?"

As soon as he finished speaking, anger flashed across Liu Bang's face, while Ying Bu squeezed the wine bar so hard that he almost deformed it...

This guy, the ability to accurately expose people's scars is simply beyond the charts...

Talk more, talk more... Liu Ying quietly squeezed into Fan Kui's side, eating melons at close range.

Liu Bang gritted his molars and said, "No!"

Sui He raised his head with a proud expression on his face: "Your Majesty sent a minister to the Jiujiang Kingdom. As soon as the minister arrived, he immediately saw through the falsehood of the King of Jiujiang and the Snake, and was circling between the Han and Chu. Therefore, beheading the Chu envoy finally made the current Huainan King completely Return to Han!"

"Is your contribution greater than one hundred thousand infantry and five thousand cavalry! Is this a rotten Confucian who is only worth six hundred shi?"

Liu Bang showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, and forced his respect: "Hey, I have been busy all the time, haven't I thought about how to reward you?"

After a moment of silence, he had a sudden thought: "Now the Han Dynasty is set in the Central Plains, and guests from all over the world are served, all thanks to the merits of the lords. I decided to tour the East tomorrow and enshrine Zen on Mount Tai..."

No... Liu Ying froze in place, and the sound of glass shattering rang in her ears.

Taishan, in fact, he wanted to keep it for himself...
