Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 230 Ah Zhi: I only have two words, arrange!
"Oh, Ah Zhi, what's wrong with you? Did that vicious Wei Zifu hurt you? Tell me quickly, and I'll tear her mouth apart!"

Gillian's voice is so loud that it makes people's hair stand on end, especially the pronunciation of the word "zuizui" has become "most", and her expression is so exaggerated that it looks like Liu Che has stabbed her dozens of times...

"Didn't you say that you want to tell me about the southern expedition of the army?" Liu Che pursed his lips, really afraid that he couldn't help but earn another ingot of gold from Gillian.

Just thinking about the imperial doctor saying that it was no longer possible to have sex, the idea of ​​making money had to be suppressed.

"Okay, my Majesty, let's talk about the news about the army marching south. I just want to ask you, how many eyes do you plan to send to Li Huan to watch his every move?"

Liu Che had a severe headache: "If I said that he wanted it himself, would you believe it?"

Gillian chuckled: "That's almost it."

"He really wanted it for himself!" For some reason, Liu Che always had a feeling that he couldn't wash away even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Why do people in this world always think that he is the kind of jealous emperor?

"Did you really give it?"

"He insists!"

"Just like the embroidered messenger, this kid wants it all, right?" Gillian said, pointing to something: "I want it!"

When Liu Che saw that it was Nai, he didn't understand why Gillian always liked to eat this sour fruit; fortunately, there were a lot of last year's fruits in the royal cold storage.

"Eat less, iced food. Didn't Li Huan tell you not to eat too much?"

Although Liu Che said this, he patiently cut it into small pieces, then poked it with a small bamboo skewer, and fed it to Gillian piece by piece.

This scene was something that not only Empress Wei had never seen before, but also all the concubines in the entire Han court couldn't even imagine it.

Gillian had already begun to complain that her tongue was poked...

Liu Che is really full of boundless patience.

People are really strange animals sometimes. The beauty who made a fuss in front of him, just fell asleep and heard that her three clans were gone.

"It has become inevitable for the army to march south. Marquis Anyang said that after this autumn harvest, he will use troops against South Vietnam. Now the court is announcing that the Huainan Army is preparing to march north to attack the Xiongnu."

After Liu Che ate a piece of nai by himself, he immediately wondered if there was something wrong with Gillian's taste buds.

"Then we won't fight the Huns this year?"

"No more fighting. I have already agreed with the Prime Minister to rest with the people for a year. We will see if Li Huan's strategy of weakening the Huainan Kingdom is successful."

Gillian pursed her lips: "If he can't do this, I don't think anyone in the world can do it. Moreover, this is not just an attempt to weaken the Huainan Kingdom, but also all the vassal states in the world."

She emphasized: "Don't think that I don't know. You have already issued an edict, asking all the countries in the world to provide Huainan with prisoners, son-in-laws, and merchants as advance troops. In addition, each kingdom will provide Huainan with prisoners based on their previous performance in showing off their wealth." , received a generous order for food and grass supply."

Liu Che nodded, with a sinister smile on his face.

Gillian also nodded, with the same ferocious smile as Liu Che's on her face: "If anyone dares not to give, or refuses, or uses defective products to make up for it, we will have the opportunity to cut down the vassal!"

Liu Che's old father also caused the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion because of the cutting of the vassal in the past, but it is different now. The court of the Han Empire is already extremely powerful, like a sleeping tiger, waiting for these princes and kings to see who dares to stand up and rebel Same.

Historically, after the rebellion of Liu An, the king of Huainan, all the blisters disappeared immediately, which fully demonstrated how powerful the Han Empire was in Liu Che's era.

"Once the vassal state is abolished, it means that the number of states and counties under our actual control will increase." Gillian grabbed a booklet, as cheerfully as a female landowner who had thought of a way to exploit long-term workers.

"I used the excuse of founding Fanguo Daily to actually calculate the number of rich people in each country secretly."

Looking at Gillian with her shining eyes, Liu Che felt a little sad, because in the past, Gillian's eyes would only shine when she saw him.

But it's different now. When Gillian saw the money, her eyes lit up even more...

But, who in this world can’t get along with money?
"The armaments, money, food, and personnel of the Southern Expedition Army can be guaranteed. How to break through the Nanyue Kingdom has become the key." Liu Che pondered slightly.

Gillian was full of confidence: "No one should doubt Li Huan's ability to lead troops, right? Besides, Gongsun He and Li Guang are both in Huainan. If we still can't win South Vietnam, that's a joke!"

Liu Che smiled faintly and didn't care much about it: "I want to reply to a secret edict to Li Huan. After drafting several copies, I still feel that something is missing. You can draft it for me."

Gillian sniffed and looked at the ink pen that Da Changqiu brought to him with a smile on his face. She snorted and said in an unhappy tone: "Forget it, let that Zhang Tang draft the edict for you. , don’t let me become the Demon Queen again.”

Liu Che sighed: "This is not a difficult task, but when the time comes, don't always say that I deliberately stumbling upon Li Huan. I ask myself, but I have shouldered a lot of pressure for him. In this battle with South Vietnam, if he If you return in vain..."

"The war hasn't even started yet, and you've already decided that he will fail?" Gillian frowned.

Liu Che suppressed his depression and showed a smile that he thought was quite touching: "That's why I asked you to write it."

Gillian pursed her lips, picked up the pen, and after thinking for a while, she began to write a long story. What's the situation in the world today?

How much pressure did Emperor Liu Che bear...

After writing it eloquently, the ink was not dry yet. After Gillian looked at it for a few times, a strange expression appeared on her face. She reached out and crumpled the paper and asked Da Changqiu to burn it.

Then, Gillian took up her pen and wrote something that couldn't be more straightforward: "Do a good job, mother and your majesty are very optimistic about you."

At this point, Gillian finally showed a satisfied expression on her face.

Liu Che took a sneak peek and showed an indifferent expression, but when Gillian handed it to him to see, he praised it greatly...

The secret edicts of Cuihua and Liu Che arrived almost simultaneously.

Regarding Liu Chemi's words in Gillian's tone, Li Huan was in a good mood. He first spent more than half a month of leisurely time with Cuihua in the mansion, and then started to work on some things in Huainan Kingdom.

For example...listen to music on Goulan.

Liu Ling also fell in love with Goulan Tingqu'er, and also liked to talk to Li Huan about important political affairs at this time.

"It's over, it's over..." As soon as Liu Ling said this, Li Huan couldn't help interrupting her: "I don't know how many times I've heard this sentence these days, can you change it to a new word? "

Liu Ling immediately said: "It's useless, it's useless..."

Li Huan:……

"Just get down to business."

"Since the last time my brother Wang's embezzlement of military pay was exposed, my father has become more and more close to Liu Jian. He even valued Liu Jian very much. Yesterday, my brother Wang actually climbed up the big tree in the palace and shouted outside that he wanted to see Liu Jian. My father, the guards on the left and right all thought he had gone insane, and my brother fell from the tree and broke his leg in his madness."

Li Huan was stunned: "Such an exaggeration? You can't do that? If your brother can hold back his temper and wait for a while, your father will naturally go to see him when his anger subsides. What is the reason for such an extreme move?" Liu There was an evil smile on the corner of Ling's mouth: "Because I asked someone to secretly report to him that the father wanted to abolish the heir and establish the concubine, so that Buhuo would be the prince, and let him, who used to be greedy for the salaries of the soldiers in the army, take his own life." This faded out of everyone’s sight.”

Li Huan gave a thumbs up, as the saying goes well, a poisonous tongue keeps the word in the mouth, a hornet's tail needles in the back, both are not poisonous, the most poisonous to a woman's heart.

This is true.

Liu Ling sighed: "Why don't you say that I am a vicious person?"

"If a leg is broken, it can be cured. Even if he becomes disabled in the future, it will not prevent him from being a normal person. But if his head is broken, his life will be lost. Sometimes things seem bad. , it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not for the good of others.”

Liu Ling shrugged: "This is not over yet. At night, my mother cried in front of my father and held the hairpin to commit suicide."

"Is it also for your brother Wang?" Li Huan was stunned. This family really knows how to play.

Liu Ling nodded: "Yes, when I rushed to the palace, my mother was drinking tea. She didn't look like someone who really wanted to commit suicide."

Li Huan:……

Liu Ling also almost laughed out loud: "I asked someone about it, only to find out that it was my father and king who said that even if we really abolished the first son and established the concubine, the position of my mother's queen is unshakable..."

"There is no warmth in the emperor's home!" Li Huan sighed: "Before departure, His Majesty once asked me, do you really want to be a king?"

Liu Ling became excited: "Wang with a different surname?"

Li Huan shook his head: "Don't interrupt me. Didn't you see that I have just entered the state?"

"Try?"

"It doesn't sound like a test." Li Huan shook his head: "Maybe I can change my surname to Liu, and then I can be the king. Of course, I can't have as many fiefdoms as Huainan, and it can only be obtained by a few counties at most."

"Liu Huan?" Liu Ling looked at Li Huan in surprise.

Li Huan pursed his lips and nodded: "It is not uncommon in our Han Empire to change one's surname to establish princes and kings. Back then, Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo was changed to Liu Bo..."

"Isn't this really a test?" Liu Ling asked again.

Li Huan nodded: "Every few days, Queen Mother will send a secret letter to me. Your Majesty really has the idea of ​​canonizing me as king..."

Speaking of this, Li Huan paused for a moment, and said with an unnatural expression: "However, according to my mother's disclosure, my fief should be in Henan..."

"Hahaha..." Liu Ling almost stopped laughing.

"But, although there has always been such a thing as a king, the matter of a king with a different surname has not happened for many years." Liu Ling looked at him with regret, which made Li Huan's hair tingle: "You should nod in agreement. Yes, although your surname is not Liu, after being given the surname Liu, your heirs will also have the blood of the royal family flowing in their bodies, and your end may not be like those kings with different surnames in history."

Li Huan sighed: "The most sincere words are actually the most terrifying poison. In fact, I can see that this is a temptation."

After Liu Ling heard this, the smile in his eyes was as sweet as honey: "Since you found out, why are you still testing me?"

"This is not called testing, this is called sharing." Li Huan sighed: "Look at your father, look at Cao Xiang, these two people Cao Xiang can do whatever they want, but your father dares? Anyway, they are both rich and powerful for generations. In my opinion, there really isn’t that much difference between being a king and being a marquis.”

Liu Ling's face looked a little unnatural: "There is no need for you to use Cao Xiang as an example. It is also appropriate to use yourself as an example. Although you are a marquis, among the kings in the Han Empire, who is not afraid of you?"

"Let's get down to business. Now the military power is in the hands of Gongsun He, but how to make Wu Bei stand on our side is the key." Li Huan sighed leisurely, as if he didn't want to continue showing off in front of Liu Ling.

Show off with smart people, and people will look like clowns; show off with fools, and you will gain real happiness.

"I thought of several ways. Since my father can recruit people from Guanzhong to be his prime minister, why not just ask your Majesty to issue an edict and recruit troops to serve as officials in the court?"

"This won't work. Attacking South Vietnam is no joke. We have to leave a few backbones in the Huainan army." Li Huan shook his head and objected.

"Then go out and win him over personally. If he doesn't agree, let Han Yan kill him." Liu Ling's peach blossom eyes were full of ferocity.

"This..." Li Huan narrowed his eyes: "Do you think the time is ripe? If he pretends to agree on the surface and then tells your father secretly, then all our plans will fail?"

"Then listen to the third one." Liu Ling continued nonchalantly: "Then let him go outside to lead the troops. The sons-in-law, prisoners, merchants and other people of the princes and kings will all be recruited, and let him lead a country. Going to a country for acceptance inspection is the best way to get him out of this circle. After he comes back, I want to come..."

Li Huan considered it and said: "This is a good idea, but the purpose seems too obvious."

"Then find someone to assassinate him. Although Wu Bei is ferocious, if he secretly arranges an assassin, it will be difficult to defend against open guns and hidden arrows. Killing him is not difficult."

Liu Ling said it very lightly.

"No way, this is a talent, I can't bear to part with it." Li Huan immediately objected.

Liu Ling took a deep breath and seemed to want to talk about the fourth strategy.

Li Huan said: "Then let Gongsun He give the order to let Lei Bei go to various vassal states to collect grain, grass and manpower. I believe that when your father hears this, he will immediately let Wu Bei replace Lei Bei."

"Retreat to advance?" Liu Ling hesitated: "Are you sure you can do it? What if my father doesn't fall for the trap?"

"Without you on my side, the probability of success of this method is only [-] to [-]%. But it is different now. With you on my side, the probability of success is [-] to [-]%. All you need to do is say this to your father. Two very casual words and it was done.”

"Hey, good words are hard to persuade, damn father!" Liu Ling complained: "Let Gongsun He blow the wind first, I was a little surprised when I heard this incident by pretending to be inadvertent."

"Don't worry, it's all within the plan."

Li Huan glanced at the dancer, feeling vaguely bored.

"Then what do you do next?"

"Do what makes your father most at ease."

"What is the most reassuring thing about my father?"

"Inspect the spring plowing situation in the entire Huainan Kingdom."

Liu Ling sneered, but suddenly looked at Li Huan with admiration: "You want to go down and see if all the black hands you have arranged are in place, right?"

Li Huan really couldn't hold back his laughter this time: "I used to think that your father had poor vision, but now, I find that your father not only has no vision, he is simply blind. If you pass the throne to Here you go, maybe it’s really possible to replace His Majesty.”

"Hmph!" Liu Ling knocked over the wine cup on the table, then quickly stood up and left. I don't know whether she hated herself for being a girl, or whether she really resented her father for his lack of vision.
