Start having a baby!I dressed as the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

"I have a report!" Wang Hui was ordered to come out.

"Baiyue is at war again, and the country of Dongou asks for help from our country. Min Yue is instructed by South Vietnam to raise troops to attack Dongou. South Vietnam has the potential to annex Baiyue!"

"You are a small country! I am willing to lead one hundred thousand troops to wipe out Baiyue!" Taiwei Tian Fu came out and made arrogant words.

"How can the new emperor talk about war lightly after he ascends the throne! Tian Taiwei is too eager to win!" Ji An, the envoy, glared at Tian Fu, "During the period of national mourning, Jingqing Hou Zhidu sent troops to the Xiongnu. It has already been over. It goes against the ancestral system!”

"Then South Vietnam is clearly bullying my new emperor when he is young! If he doesn't retaliate, Zhao Huang will really think that our emperor is weak and wants to cause trouble!" Tian Fu responded angrily.

"It is suspicious of a weak country?!" Liu Xiaozhu flushed with anger and raised his hand to slap the case. He turned around and saw the Empress Dowager gently waving her hand behind the curtain to signal him not to be impulsive.

"I think that we can send a defender as an imperial envoy to declare an order to quell the war. If the chaos cannot be stopped, we can send more troops there." Dou Ying, the Prime Minister of Zuo, suggested.

"Which beloved is willing to go?" Liu Che looked around at the ministers with clear and lively eyes.

Everyone was silent.

"Is it possible that there is no Dr. Lu Jialu in this court?" Liu Che sighed softly.

Baiyue is a very ancient ethnic group in the south of ancient my country. Because of its extremely wide distribution and many branches, they are not affiliated with each other, but they are all "Yue" people, so they are generally called "Baiyue" or "Baiyue".

Among them, the Yue people who live in the Shaoxing area of ​​today's Zhejiang Province were called "Yu Yue" in history; the Yue people who live in the Oujiang River Basin in southern Zhejiang Province, that is, Wenzhou, were called "Dong Yue" in history, also known as "Dong Ou"; The Yue people in Fuzhou, Fujian were historically called "Min Yue"; the Yue people distributed in and south of today's Guangdong were called "Nan Yue" in history; the Yue people distributed in and south of today's Guangxi were called "Xiou" in history. ", also known as "Luo Yue".

Regardless of whether it is Yue, Dongyue, Fujian, Nanyue or Xiou, the exchanges with the Central Plains have a long history since ancient times and have intrinsic and inseparable ties.The Lingnan areas have a hot and humid climate, fertile land, rich products, and a vast territory. They are influenced by the politics, economy, and culture of the Central Plains, and there is no unified political power to oppose the Central Plains.Therefore, after Qin Shihuang unified the Central Plains, he conquered Baiyue in the south and expanded his territory.

From the 27th year of Qin Shihuang to the 32nd year of Qin Shihuang, the Qin army launched a large-scale strategic attack on Baiyue and occupied most of Lingnan.

After Qinnan conquered Baiyue, he established three counties: Guilin, Nanhai and Xiangjun.The construction of new roads, the excavation of the Ling Canal, the migration of immigrants, the import of agricultural production technology and handicraft production technology from the Central Plains, the emergence of political, economic, and cultural centers, and the changes in the entire social production mode and social living conditions have truly opened a new chapter in the history of Lingnan. of one page.

During the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Ren Xiao, the governor of Nanhai County, appointed Zhao Tuo, the magistrate of Longchuan County, as the lieutenant of Nanhai County from his hospital bed, and then left to the west.

Zhao Tuo immediately blocked all the passes from Nanhai County to the Central Plains, killed the officials sent by the State of Qin, and replaced them with his own confidants.

After everything was arranged, Zhao Tuo took Guilin and Xiang counties into his hands with lightning speed, and established himself as King Wu of South Vietnam.A small magistrate of Longchuan County became a prince who dominated one area and was isolated from the power of the Central Plains.

When the smoke and dust of the Central Plains settled, Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, would naturally not turn a blind eye to the land of Baiyue.However, due to successive years of war, the people were tired and exhausted, and everything was in ruins waiting to be revitalized.The emperor has six chariots, and even six horses of the same color cannot be found in the emperor's chariot. All the officials can only go to court in ox-carts, and they really can't afford it.

Then seek a peaceful solution!It doesn't matter whether you, the Nanyue Kingdom, recognize me as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty in your heart. As long as you, Zhao Tuo, can bow your head and submit to me, I will be satisfied if you do what you can on the surface.

The Gao Emperor Liu Bang needed an eloquent lobbyist to go to South Vietnam, and finally the Confucian scholar Lu Jia took on this glorious and arduous task.

In 198 BC, Lu Jia came to South Vietnam.Zhao Tuo put a South Vietnamese man's hair in a bun and sat with his feet spread to receive him.Obviously, Zhao Tuo did not take the Han envoy seriously.He just wanted to use this method to humiliate the Han envoy and make him retreat in spite of the difficulties so that he could continue to be his mountain king.

But Lu Jia is a talented diplomat, and South Vietnam is now his stage.

"Your ancestral graves are in the Central Plains, and your clansmen are in the Central Plains. You grew up in the Central Plains, but you don't abide by the etiquette of the Central Plains. When the sky is high and the emperor is far away, you can forget your ancestors and forget your traditions. Are you so presumptuous?"

"The generals of the Han Empire are eager to teach you a lesson! Just because the world has just stabilized and it is not suitable for another war, the emperor suppressed the anger of the generals. Xiang Yu is known as the overlord of Western Chu, and he is brave and good at fighting. So what is the result?" Lu Jia was aggressive. Righteousness and strictness of speech.

Lu's diplomacy means not talking too much, but getting straight to the point and focusing on the key points.

Lu Jia's words made the South Vietnamese Martial King tremble in his heart.Yes, with the current strength of the South Vietnam Kingdom, it is simply impossible to fight against the powerful Han Empire. It seems that the only way to go is to surrender to the Han Dynasty.

But Zhao Tuo still wanted to continue to show off. After all, he was in his own territory and couldn't show his underwear.

"Who do you think is more powerful, Xiao He, Han Xin, Cao Shen or me?"

"You are amazing!" Lu Jia also praised him against his will.

"How does it compare to your emperor?"

"This is incomparable! Our Emperor of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Qin Dynasty and punished the powerful Chu. We were obeying the orders of heaven. Besides, the Central Plains is such a vast area, how can it be compared to the palm-sized area of ​​your South Vietnam."

"The Emperor took pity on the people who had just gone through the military toil, so he suspended the army for the time being and sent me to grant you the king's seal, issue talismans, and exchange envoys. You should go to the countryside to greet you in person, and go north to proclaim your vassal! And how dare you With the help of barbarians everywhere and the ignorant people, the little South Vietnam is so arrogant and disobedient to my big man!"

"If the rulers of the Han Dynasty knew about it, they would dig up the graves of your ancestors, destroy your clan, and send a random general to lead a hundred thousand troops to suppress the situation! It would be easy for the Yue people to protect themselves and kill you to surrender to the Han Dynasty!"

Zhao Tuo was shocked and turned pale. He immediately left his seat and apologized to Lu Jia: "I'm really sorry! Sir, I have lived among the barbarians for a long time and I have forgotten the etiquette of the Central Plains."

Zhao Tuo was defeated in just a few words.Zhao Tuo understood that he could no longer struggle with language. Talking would only knock his pants off.

Lu Jia finally worshiped Zhao Tuo as the King of Nanyue, and asked him to surrender to the Han Dynasty and become a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, with independent governance and higher authority than the vassal states.Lu Jia reported back to the court. Emperor Gaozu was very happy and made Lu Jia Taizhong doctor.

Lu Jia conquered South Vietnam without spending a single soldier and relying on his sharp tongue!He conquered Zhao Tuo with his eloquence, and Zhao Tuo also remembered this envoy from the Central Plains.Before leaving, he also gave Lu Jia a large amount of treasures because he admired Lu Jia and regarded Lu Jia as a friend in his heart.

After the death of Emperor Gao, Empress Lu took charge of the government. Zhao Tuo was scornful and angered Empress Lu, so she closed the door to trade with South Vietnam.

The horses, farm tools, etc. needed by South Vietnam were all obtained through customs and mutual trade in Changsha, which borders Changsha.Yes, the Han Empire imposed economic sanctions on South Vietnam.

Now that his face was broken, Zhao Tuo simply threw away the crown on his head, put on the emperor's hat, and called himself "Emperor Wu of South Vietnam".

Zhao Tuo then invaded the Han border.Several counties in the Changsha Kingdom were defeated one after another under the military might of the Nanyue Kingdom.The second-generation Marquis Li Xi, the son of Changsha Prime Minister Li Cang, was a general of Changsha and was unfortunately killed in battle with South Vietnam.The army sent by Empress Lu was exhausted by the heavy rain and miasma in Lingnan and lost its combat effectiveness. Zhao Tuo successfully blocked it.Empress Lu was so angry that she dug up Zhao Tuo's ancestral grave in Zhengding, Hebei Province.Not wanting to bother the people's livelihood anymore, Empress Lu had no choice but to let him dominate.

The small countries on the border, Dongyue, Minyue, and Xiyue, were forced by Zhao Tuo's despotic power and surrendered to South Vietnam one after another.Zhao Tuo became the de facto overlord of Lingnan.

After the Zhulu Rebellion, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty took control of Weiyang Palace, but Zhao Tuo was still alive.

Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty Liu Heng wanted to regain his suzerainty status over the South Vietnam Kingdom.He sent people to renovate Zhao Tuo's ancestral tomb, and summoned all Zhao Tuo's relatives to serve as officials in the court.

Emperor Wen wrote a sincere letter to Zhao Tuo. The letter contained his full sincerity and his sharp edge hidden in the words.Yes, if you, Zhao Tuo, are shameless, then please seriously consider your relatives in Chang'an; then consider the powerful soldiers and generals that the Han Dynasty is fighting with all its strength.

The envoy of the Han Empire once again went to the Southern Kingdom, and it was Lu Jia, an old acquaintance of Zhao Tuo.

Lu Jia raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Zhao, how come you don't say a word about such a big thing as becoming the emperor? I don't see you saying hello to the court either?"

Zhao Tuo had already experienced the sharpness of Lu Jia's words.This time Lu Jia just spoke, and he was already a little panicked.

"It's not that. It's all my fault that Empress Lu listened to the slander, so I led the troops to give the Changsha Kingdom some color. My proclaiming the emperor was just a joke, don't take it seriously."

The two countries are not equal in strength, and strength is diplomacy.As a hero in troubled times, Zhao Tuo would not fail to understand this truth, so after playing the game of proclaiming himself emperor, he threw the crown aside and continued to be a minister of the Han Empire.

Zhao Tuo called himself "the great elder of the barbarians, Chentuo" to the Han court.However, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. In Baiyue, he is still the uncle. Min Yue, Xiyue and Dongyue want to act based on his expression.

Zhao Tuo, who had a long waiting period, outlived his son, and the throne was passed to his grandson Zhao Quan.At this time, he and Lu Jia were already traveling westward on cranes.

Wang Quan clenched her fists secretly behind the curtain.South Vietnam, do you really think that the Han Dynasty dominates a weak country?

When King Wu Liu Bi conspired to rebel, he had an affair with Nanyue.Liu Bi was defeated and fled to South Vietnam. It was Zhou Yafu who led his troops to suppress the border, and Zhao Tuo presented Liu Bi's head.

When Empress Lu was in charge, Zhao Tuo did not regard Emperor Hui Liu Ying as a dish; now that Liu Xiaozhu has just ascended the throne, South Vietnam is ready to make another move!

South Vietnam's disobedience was like marsh gas expelled from the sludge at the bottom of the water. It bubbled up when the pressure of the Han Empire weakened.If this sludge is not removed, it will eventually lead to future troubles!
"Veteran, I would like to take orders to go to South Vietnam!" Prime Minister Wei Wan on the right came out to ask for orders.

Let a minister of a country mediate disputes between two small vassal states?Anti-aircraft guns are used to kill mosquitoes - overkill!
Emperors Wen and Jing both said that Wei Wan was a loyal and honest man.This person is loyal and kind of like a good old man.

With the new emperor ascending the throne and the empress dowager listening to politics behind the curtain, the political environment in the DPRK and China is unclear.These ministers of the old emperor were all watching and speculating on the new emperor's thoughts. As a result, during the court discussions, there was a lot of talking and a silence in the court.

The Crown Prince and Tutor Wei Wan was promoted to Prime Minister by Emperor Jing, and continued to be Prime Minister until Liu Xiaozhu ascended the throne. He played the role of a pressure stone in the transition between the old and the new.

As the head of a hundred officials, Wei Wan has always accepted responsibilities generously.Liu Xiaozhu came to the rescue when he saw Liu Xiaozhu earnestly asking who would be willing to send an envoy to Dongou, but all the ministers were speechless, disappointed and embarrassed.

Ji An clasped his hands: "Prime Minister Wei is sitting peacefully in the court. The Yue people are attacking each other. This is because the local people are fierce and aggressive. It is not worth bothering the emperor's envoys to ask! Let them fight on their own!"

Um?Is this what a loyal minister should say?As the head of the family in Weijia, the emperor could ignore the two vassals' complaints to the head of the family for help due to the war.Where does the emperor's authority lie?Where is the majesty of the Han Dynasty?
"Then, let Ji Aiqing hold my talisman and go to the country to inspect and mediate!" Liu Che raised his hand to stop Ji An and frowned, "The Prime Minister of Wei will discuss with Prime Minister Dou and Taiwei Tian about increasing the number of Xiongnu troops. .”

"Your Majesty! No war..."

Ji An wanted to remonstrate directly, but Liu Che interrupted him by saying "Retreat from the court".

Behind the curtain, Wang Quan heard that Ji An was assigned to go to Yue Di and hurriedly wanted to stop him, but Liu Xiaozhu's words had already been spoken.

The emperor has no jokes.Although it was inappropriate, Wang Quan had no choice but to give up.

Returning to Jiaofang Hall, Liu Xiaozhu came to discuss matters with his mother.Because Liu Xiaozhu had not yet taken charge of the government and had not established a queen, and Wang Quan listened to the government behind the curtain, he still lived in Jiaofang Palace, which was closer to the main hall of Weiyang Palace than Changle Palace.

"Mother, did you make a mistake in sending Ji An as an envoy to cross the border?" In the court meeting hall, after Liu Xiaozhu said the words, he noticed that the queen waved her hand to stop him, "I am really tired of this Ji An!"

"You are not joking. Let the eunuch who is responsible for the ceremony send the talisman and the imperial edict to urge Ji An to leave early!" Wang Quan said with a smile, "The emperor must respect the teacher and value education. After all, Ji An is the prince Xima, and he is the same emperor's teacher. This is also the reason why he dares to contradict the emperor."

"Shouldn't the child suppress him? In the court, he dares to go against me everywhere! Where is my face?"

Wang Quan saw his son pouting and glaring angrily, so he ordered his maid to bring some clear fire tea to him.

In fact, people with overly upright personalities are unlucky in the eyes of most people.Because people have innate resistance to things that are too rigid.

"Che'er, if a stone sticks to your body, you will naturally feel uncomfortable. But this stone is calm and upright and has its uses."

Wang Ao also took a sip of tea and said, "Ji An compares himself to Yuan An. He is arrogant, upright and dares to give advice. The court needs a criticizing minister to show that the emperor is good at giving advice and is open-minded and moral."

There are many old officials in the court who observe the words and expressions and praise the emperor.The existence of critics and the words of opposition will keep the emperor clear-headed, cautious in decision-making, and alert to the cost of making mistakes.

Since the time of Emperor Gaozu, especially in the Wen and Jing dynasties, everyone has followed the way of Huang and Lao and governed by doing nothing.Ji An studied Huang Lao's words and loved peace and quiet. He is the representative of this part of Huang Lao's theory and should not be denied at will.

Liu Xiaozhu lowered his head after listening to his mother's detailed explanation: "But I still hate him! He advised me to make peace with the Huns and not use weapons! I am a big Han with strong soldiers and strong horses, but I am still being bullied by the barbarians. I absolutely cannot do that!" "

Liu Xiaozhu raised his head stubbornly: "And that Nanyue, if you don't conquer him, you really think I'm easy to bully! Do you think I'm a weak country? I want the small country of Baiyue to become my big Han county!"
