Destiny Only Han

Chapter 633 Zhang Liang: Yuan Fang, what do you think?
Minyue Kingdom, Yecheng.

In the former Minyue Palace, Liu Jiao has been domineering here for half a month.

He is waiting, waiting for the army of the Eastern Ou Kingdom who is said to be leading the army, and most importantly, Liu Bang's opinion on how to deal with the Minyue Kingdom.

After all, what I said at the beginning was to ask for a crime, but after the army set off halfway, they received the head of King Minyue...

Therefore, how to question the crime is a test of political wisdom.

Although Liu Jiao is not lacking in political wisdom, his rationality tells him that he is only the king of Chu. Chu State is a feudal state of the Han Empire, and Minyue State is also a feudal state of the Han Empire despite its weak national strength. .

Therefore, how can the king of Chu appoint and remove the king of Minyue?
Although he was granted full power this time, and he is also Liu Bang's half-brother, but after all, he will settle down and leave hidden dangers.

Therefore, Liu Jiao doesn't mind waiting here to talk about it, it's not that he was soft-hearted when he received the gift, and he was reluctant to leave...

While Liu Jiao was tapping on the table with his index finger and listening to the Minyue ditty, General Ren Ao of Lou Chuan pushed the door open and sat on Liu Jiao's head sweating profusely. He drank several cups of herbal tea before he calmed down. A contented Liu Jiao said:

"It's hot, it's so hot even in this season! This place is really not for people... By the way, His Majesty should have received the report we sent out soon, right?"

Liu handed over a folding fan, nodded and said:
"According to the calculations, the days are almost here... Hey, if I had known that King Minyue would come out like this, I should have spread the grid of flying pigeons here in advance, from Yecheng to Chang'an City, so it would take less than three days You can get the latest instructions!"

Ren Ao echoed and said: "That's right, relying on business travelers' means of communication is indeed much slower. After all, their flying pigeons need layers of relays, and there are frequent turns... But fortunately, Shangxiantang has opened a shop in the city. It can be used by flying pigeons, otherwise it can only be sent by mail, and it will be even slower, it will take at least a month!"

"Shangxian Hall?" Liu Jiao murmured softly, stunned for a moment, then looked at Ren Ao and asked:

"I didn't take it very seriously at the time, but now that I've calmed down and thought about it carefully, what is it worth for Shangxiantang to set up a branch here in Minyue Country, a place that doesn't shit? people?"

"Think about it, for rare treasures like coral and pearls, it is enough to open a shop. Why do you have to have so many people? Is it for the so-called dried bamboo shoots and rats?"

"There must be a reason that you and I don't know!"

"Vole." Ren Ao corrected him in a low voice, then shook his head and said:
"You ask me, who do I ask? Maybe it's to open up mountains to grow tea? I heard from my family that millions of catties of tea are shipped to the Western Regions and Beidi every year, and there are even caravans going over mountains and mountains to the southwest of Shu County. Selling tea with the Qiang people in the northwest!"

"Although the Minyue Kingdom is barren, the climate seems to be very suitable for growing tea... But even so, His Highness has the ability to predict ghosts and gods, and the ability to make predictions. We ordinary people should not guess blindly!"

Liu Jiao glanced sideways at Ren Ao, did not speak, but three words appeared in his heart,

sycophant...

Although Ren Ao is Liu Bang's confidant, the degree of intimacy with Liu Bang is second only to Lu Wan, and even higher than that of the 'mysterious brother' Xia Houying who has been driving Liu Bang!

But in fact, Liu Jiao knows very well that the relationship between Ren Ao and Lu Zhi is better!
After all, it was Ren Ao who spared his own future and life when Lu's pheasant was in trouble, and wounded those jailors and petty officials who had malicious intentions. His behavior like a mad tiger made everyone terrified, which allowed Lu's pheasant to escape.

So in return, Ren Ao's family members were able to get a large share of the tea business that Lu Zhi secretly controlled, and the annual dividends were in the millions, which really made other Peisi heroes jealous, even if he was a Chu Wang, the same is true!
Therefore, it is reasonable for Ren Ao to praise Liu Ying...

However, Liu Jiao listened to Ren Ao's words, especially the phrase "unpredictable ability of ghosts and gods, the art of unpredictable prophets", which always lingered in Liu Jiao's mind, and a person's name and a school of thought couldn't help appearing in his heart.

Xu negative, the yin and yang family.

Although Xu Negative did not say it clearly, her identity as a descendant of the Yin Yang family cannot be concealed from people like Liu Jiao. After all, Liu Jiao belongs to the Xunzi lineage of Confucianism and belongs to the "academic circle"...

Well, the Yin-Yang family is not a magic stick. Divination is just a means of making a living. In fact, the Yin-Yang family mainly studies philosophy. Like Huang Lao, they belong to the two gourds grown on the same gourd vine of Taoism.

Therefore, the Yin-Yang family also flourished for a while, and they were mixed up in the temple.

For example, Lu Sheng, a man from Yan who fooled Qin Shihuang to seek immortality and visit Taoism, brought back a prophecy book called "Recorded Map" from overseas, in which there is the famous motto "Hu Ye, the one who destroyed Qin"...

So the Huns fell into bad luck...

And Lu Sheng felt that he was about to be able to fool Qin Shihuang, so he complained fiercely and ran away. Although Qin Shihuang seemed to have not caught Zhang Liang, he did not catch Lu Sheng, but he "burned books and cheated Confucianism" ', put Confucian scholars to death...

And Lu Sheng's successor is the famous Xu Fu...

Although the scholars of the Yin Yang family can't hide now, Liu Jiao firmly believes that a school that returned to the family and made great achievements decades ago is definitely not extinct, and a mere Xu negative is just a leopard in charge!

Liu Jiao also firmly believes in another point, that is, Liu Ying's "unpredictable ability" must have something to do with Xu Ling!
After all, he had heard that when he was in Chang'an City, Liu Ying used to visit Xu's house frequently. Although the banner was to ask for money and raise donations, the two boys and girls spent a long time together in the darkroom. Could it be that they are really talking about love?

So, Liu Jiao gently twirled his beard, with a complacent expression on his face.

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

Kuaiji County, Wu County.

Satisfied with the event of offering sacrifices to Dayu, Liu Bang decided to return north to Chang'an, taking advantage of the wet and cold winter in Jiangdong, to return to his Changle Palace, which is burning with floor heating and is as warm as spring in severe winter...

Therefore, both sides of the road were crowded with people who came to see them off.

Well, from the heart.

After all, according to the ritual rules of this period, after the sacrificial activities are over, it is necessary to reward the representatives of the masses who came to the "Praise Field"...

Although the rewards were nothing more than a small bottle of wine about half a catty, and a strip of meat that was one foot wide and one and a half feet long, it was the emperor's reward after all. I am afraid that the reward needs to be placed on an incense table after returning home, enshrined every day, passed on to future generations, and even written in the county annals...

It's just that in this era when the emperor can't do it well, the common people can ask him to abdicate to let the virtuous and pass on the surname of a foreign country. This kind of reward is at best regarded as an honor, similar to the Purple Heart Medal of mold in World War II. If you are injured, you will be awarded...

Therefore, if you give me honor, I will give you face, and both sides of the road are crowded with people who live in Shanhu.

Liu Bang sat in his convertible, that is, the golden root car with an umbrella on it, with a complacent expression on his face, waving to the people around him from time to time, causing another wave of mountains and tsunami, and screams.

But Liu Bang listened, and felt that those screams were not for himself, but for the Nizi behind him!

Liu Bang felt that the Xuanxuan embroidered with gold thread and twelve chapter patterns he was wearing today was very burnt, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Ying was even worse. She was wearing a bright red dress that was also embroidered with gold thread. brocade robe!
Wearing a gold crown on his head, with jade on his forehead, sword eyebrows and star eyes, he is different from Jia Baoyu in that his face is a bit dark, his body is strong, and he looks like a hero.

Such a young man, coupled with the blessing of various stories based on Liu Ying's past deeds in the folk family, it is natural for the bad old man to overshadow his family.

Just when Liu Bang was both proud and sad, a horse flew towards him from afar, and Shang Shu ordered Wei Wuzhi to meet him in a hurry. When he returned to Liu Bang after a while, his face was both happy and worried.

"What's the matter?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the King of Minyue has conferred the leadership. The King of Chu has fully controlled the Minyue Kingdom. Now I am writing to ask the candidate for the King of Minyue?"

Liu Bang was silent for a while, and raised his hand to receive the urgent document, but he didn't open it directly, but looked at Wei Wuzhi and said, "Let Liu wait to come and join the ride... Well, let that scoundrel come too!"

Although he didn't say who the so-called evil son was, Wei Wuzhi had followed him for many years, so naturally he didn't need to say so.

A moment later, under the hot eyes of a group of Jiangnan girls wearing hoods and waving to him, Liu Ying lifted up the hem of her clothes and jumped into Liu Bang's carriage. After making a gesture that she thought was very handsome, she asked:

"Father, what did you call me for?"

Liu Bang glared at him and said nothing, while Zhang Liang patted the futon beside him, motioning him to sit down.

"The king of Minyue was punished, but it was not the king of Chu who did it, but his prime minister, Zou Ying. Now the king of Chu has pardoned the royal family of Minyue as he said before, but the kingdom of Minyue cannot be without a king for a day, so I wrote Ask Your Majesty for his opinion..."

After Zhang Liang finished speaking briefly, he looked at Liu Ying and asked, "How do you think you should reply to King Chu?"

The corner of Liu Ying's mouth raised, she tilted her head and asked, "Teacher, are you testing me? Or are you consulting me on national policy?"

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Bang and asked, "What's the difference between the two?"

Liu Ying sat upright: "Of course there is a difference. If the teacher is testing me, the students will naturally know everything, even if they are wrong... But if they are consulting the national policy, especially if it involves the vassal king, the students can only keep silent .”

Well, this is called a sense of proportion, after all, Liu Bang is the emperor.

"People are big devils!"

Liu Bang scolded in a low voice, originally wanted to raise his hand to give him a headache, but seeing Liu Ying's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, full of heroic spirit, so he gave up, just smiled and shook his head.

Zhang Liang smiled with his lips and eyes:

"That's right, I've improved a lot. Okay, I'm testing you today, let me tell you what you think..."
