The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 159 The South Vietnamese King Zhao Tuo wants to see the divine bird!

"Four o'clock……"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che quickly listened respectfully.

But I heard Empress Dowager Dou say: "The first point is, Emperor, don't trust anyone! Including your mother!"

"Becoming an emperor means you are truly a loner!"

"The second point is to be careful of your relatives!"

"Speaking of which, my Dou family is actually the biggest relative. However, as long as I threaten the emperor in the future, the emperor will not show mercy. I only need to leave a bloodline for the Dou family!"

"The third point..."

Having said this, Queen Mother Dou was suddenly silent for a moment, and then she stared at Han Wu Emperor Liu Che and said: "Be careful about your mother, be careful about the Wang family!"

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che showed a look of doubt on his face. If it were the two previous points, he would still be able to keep them in mind without any doubts.

But this point forced him to refute something.

So Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, couldn't help but said: "My mother has not done anything extraordinary, and she has no idea about rights. Why should you be careful about my mother?"

She seemed to have guessed what Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, would say, so Empress Dowager Dou explained: "This is just the impression your mother left on you. Your mother is an extremely smart person. She wants you to understand her, and then you can understand her." She, if she doesn’t want you to understand, you will only think so!”

"Do you still remember the incident between Prince Rong and Concubine Li?"

"Naturally remember!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che didn't know why Empress Dowager Dou left and mentioned these two people.

At the beginning, the crown prince established by Emperor Jing was not Liu Che, but Liu Che's brother Liu Rong, and Liu Rong's mother Li Fei was about to be established as queen.

But in the end, Emperor Jing deposed Prince Rong and instead appointed Liu Che as crown prince.

Afterwards, Concubine Li committed suicide by taking poison, and Liu Rong also committed suicide.

"Concubine Li and Prince Rong were killed by your mother!"

Empress Dowager Dou revealed a surprising news that shocked Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty Liu Che.

"how is this possible?!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was shocked and couldn't believe it.

"Even if your mother didn't do it herself, I'm afraid she died because of your mother!"

Empress Dowager Dou said yes, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was stunned and stunned.

In his impression, his mother would neither fight nor grab. When he encountered difficulties in the court, he would comfort himself and encourage himself to forge ahead without caring at all about the affairs of the court.

But I didn't expect that my mother's true face turned out to be like this!

"Grandma can't lie to you about this, so you have to be careful about your mother, your uncle and the Wang family..."

"...grandson...remember this!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was still shocked and could not react for a while.

"fourth point……"

Empress Dowager Dou continued: "It is the divine bird..."

"The divine bird has appeared since the Qin Dynasty, which made Qin strong and prosperous and unified the six countries. Today, many of the court systems of the Han Dynasty are inherited from the Qin State. When the Qin State unified the six countries and re-established the system, it There is a divine bird nearby..."

"So, Emperor, you must hold on to the sacred bird tightly and be respectful to the sacred bird..."

"If we can get help from the divine bird, then there will be no worries about the three points I mentioned before!"

"Therefore, the fourth point can immediately solve the difficulties of the first three points!"

Regarding the fourth point, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was convinced. At the same time, he also knew that Empress Dowager Dou did not know that the divine bird had promised to protect the great Han.

Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che did not hesitate and directly told Empress Dowager Dou the good news!

"really!?"

"Exactly!"

After hearing what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said, Queen Mother Dou suddenly smiled with joy, "Okay! Okay! Okay!"

"With the help of the divine bird, the emperor will have no worries about your throne!"

Empress Dowager Dou seemed to be truly relieved at this moment and said: "From now on, you can have a free hand in matters concerning government affairs!"

……

Coming out of the East Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che had a solemn look on his face. The news he got from his grandmother shocked him the most, which was the true face of his mother.

He thought of his brother Liu Rong.

When Liu Rong was the crown prince, he remained in the palace because of his young age, and his relationship with Liu Rong was very good.

Liu Rong, the elder brother, also cared about his younger brother in every way. After his brother committed suicide, he was still sad for a long time.

He never thought that his brother was actually killed by his mother.

He took a deep breath before striding out of the palace.

……

……

Bowanghou House.

Zhang Qian, who came back from the palace, immediately came to the backyard, but there was no vegetation in the backyard garden.

Only moist and loose soil is left, and several waiters are taking care of it carefully.

The plants planted here are the plants he brought from the Western Regions.

He didn't know how to grow some crops, so he could only experiment here.

After watching for a while, Zhang Qian returned to his study.

However, at this moment, a holy light came into the study. When he turned around, he saw that the divine bird had appeared behind him.

"I've seen the magical bird!"

Zhang Qian quickly saluted respectfully.

Bai Zhi has been here for a while, and he felt more relieved when he saw Zhang Qian going to check on the crop planting situation just now.

So, in Zhang Qian's doubtful eyes, something suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Sacred Bird, this is..."

Zhang Qian looked at the thing that suddenly appeared with confusion on his face, not knowing what it was.

"This is a sweet potato that can be used as food to a certain extent. The yield per acre can reach a thousand catties!"

"What! Thousand pounds!?"

Hearing this, Zhang Qian could not maintain his composure. He immediately took the sweet potato on the table into his hands and felt the weight of the sweet potato, and the joy on his face became even greater.

"There are actually crops that can reach a thousand catties?!"

Zhang Qian couldn't believe it, but there was no doubt about the divine bird's words.

However, looking at the only one sweet potato in his hand, Zhang Qian fell into doubt, "Magical bird, this... is there only this one sweet potato?"

"Only this one, therefore, is given to you for cultivation..." Bai Zhi looked at Zhang Qian and said, "You have to take good care of it. From now on, it's up to you whether the people of China will still go hungry! "

"This……"

Zhang Qian felt the heavy responsibility from Bai Zhi's words, so he showed a solemn look and nodded seriously: "Qian must be serious about cultivating!"

"The method of cultivating sweet potatoes is to cut the skin into irregular pieces, wrap them in plant ash, and place them in a dark and humid place to allow them to germinate, and then they can be planted..."

Bai Zhi told Zhang Qian how to cultivate sweet potatoes, and then left Zhang Qian's mansion.

After sending the divine bird off respectfully, Zhang Qian immediately walked out of the study excitedly, and then personally processed the sweet potatoes according to what the divine bird would put away.

……

……

In Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che looked at the document in his hand with a trace of doubt on his face. Gein, the document in his hand was actually sent by the King of Nanyue.

In the palace, several ministers were seen, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked: "Master Fuyan, how much do you know about the Kingdom of Nanyue?"

A middle-aged minister stood up quickly and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, the king of South Vietnam is Zhao Tuo. During the period, he surrendered to Emperor Gaozu, and under Empress Lu, he proclaimed himself emperor, but after Empress Lu died, under Emperor Wen, he once again submitted to the Han!"

Having said this, the master's father paused for a moment and then said: "If I hadn't calculated it wrong, Zhao Tuo should be over a hundred years old now!"

"More than 100 years old? He lives a long life!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che chuckled lightly, then handed the document in his hand to the waiter on the side, and motioned the waiter to hand the document to Master Fu Yan and others for viewing.

He added: "Zhao Tuo is a Qin general. He should have seen the divine bird during the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, now that the divine bird appears in the Han Dynasty, he has sent his credentials and wants to see the true appearance of the divine bird!"

After hearing this, Master Fu Yan and others did not say much. After reading the document, they said: "I didn't expect that the King of Nanyue would actually ask to come to Chang'an, my great Han Dynasty, to see the sacred bird!"

This surprised a few people.

Although the South Vietnam Kingdom is legally a vassal state belonging to the Han Dynasty, it is a country among the Han Dynasty prefectures and belongs to the territory of the Han Dynasty.

But the reality is that South Vietnam already has a high degree of autonomy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is two countries.

After all, when Zhao Tuo, the king of South Vietnam, proclaimed himself emperor, the Han Dynasty was helpless.

Seeing this, Master Fuyan and others immediately said: "Your Majesty, since Zhao Tuo is willing to go to our great Han Chang'an in person, just come to him. However, Zhao Tuo is already a hundred years old in ancient times and may not be able to withstand the bumps on the road. just in case……"

It would be bad if something unexpected happened in Dahan territory.

"Well, that's what I'm worried about too!"

"But since he wants to come, let him come!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che didn't take it seriously. After all, the other party came to see the sacred bird. It was none of the man's business what happened. With the blessing of the sacred bird, the South Vietnamese country would not say anything.

……

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che personally went to the Divine Bird Hall in Lishan Mountain to inform the Divine Bird that King Nanyue wanted to see the Divine Bird. Bai Zhi was a little surprised by this.

"King of South Vietnam!"

Bai Zhi was standing on a bronze sacred tree in the Divine Bird Palace, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was sitting beside him. This was his first time in the Divine Bird Palace.

When he came here before, he had never entered the Divine Bird Palace. This time he came in, making him look around curiously.

It's not that the Divine Bird Palace is a forbidden area. After all, waiters come in every day to clean it. It just makes Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che quite curious.

"Although the South Vietnam Kingdom has surrendered to the Han Dynasty, it is not the territory of the Han Dynasty after all. And with the South Vietnam Kingdom lying across the south, Dongou and Minyue in the southeast cannot be recovered..."

But when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che suddenly said this, his eyes were still looking at Bai Zhi, full of hope.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi chuckled and said, "Emperor, do you want me to persuade the King of Nanyue to take the initiative to truly surrender to the Han and relinquish his position as king?"

"I know that this is difficult and almost impossible, but I still want to give it a try. After all, it is better to defeat the enemy without fighting. It can also save troops and fully deal with the troubles of the Huns in the north!"

"Can……"

Bai Zhi thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

As for persuading the South Vietnamese King Zhao Tuo to join the Han Dynasty, Bai Zhi didn't have much confidence.After all, the most intoxicating thing in the world is power.

How can you throw away the rights you have obtained?
At this time, the territory of the Han Dynasty was not as large as that of the Qin Dynasty. The Guangdong and Guangxi areas in the south were occupied by Zhao Tuo of the South Vietnam Kingdom.

Even the territory of South Vietnam spread to Vietnam in later generations.

There are Minyue and Dongou in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Yelang and Dian in the southwest.

Unification in the true sense has not been achieved.

However, looking at it now, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che obviously could not tolerate such a situation continuing to exist.

After all, the concept of great unity has been planted in people's hearts.

Naturally, Bai Zhi also supported Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in doing so.

So, there is nothing to say no to.

"When Zhao Tuo of South Vietnam arrives, I will naturally persuade him!"

Bai Zhi said this, and then asked: "When will the Huns leave?"

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said quickly: "The Huns will wait until the King of South Vietnam comes to Chang'an before returning to the Huns. Now, the Huns have been fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the Han Dynasty!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che showed a look of disdain on his face, and then said: "When the sacred bird goes to the Xiongnu, please ask the sacred bird to work hard!"

Bai Zhi naturally knew what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was talking about, which was nothing more than dividing the Xiongnu.

However, Bai Zhi still wanted to tell Han Wu Emperor Liu Che in advance to prevent Han Wu Emperor Liu Che from being too arrogant. "My role is only very small. To make iron, you need to be strong. The most important thing is that the Han army is strong!"

"I will remember this!"

……

In the next few days, there were rumors in the city of Chang'an that the divine bird was about to invade the Huns, which aroused the indignation of everyone in the world.

But the troubles of the Xiongnu are well known to the world. They have been helpless since the time of Emperor Gaozu, and some people even have fear of the Xiongnu in their hearts.

Although I was angry about the divine bird entering the Xiongnu, I could only accept it.

However, there are many impassioned people in the world, especially the folk rangers.

They acted chivalrously and righteously among the people, helped others, and became indignant when listening to state affairs. They only hated that they were not in the court, and they had no clever plan to calm the world.

Unknowingly, knights from all over the world gathered in Chang'an City. They wore swords at their waists and walked on the streets.

Although they come from different counties, their purpose is the same. They are looking for the Huns and want to kill them on the streets!
When the court saw this, they naturally stopped him immediately. If the Huns envoy died in Chang'an City, it would be troublesome.

As for the rangers in Chang'an City, I can only advise them not to be impulsive.

However, the Huns succeeded in inviting the divine bird into the Huns, and they became even more arrogant, thinking that all Han people could be bullied. Every time they were on the street, they would bully the Han people. When the Han people saw three Huns, they immediately stopped. , dare not cause trouble.

This made the Han people in Chang'an City even more angry with the Xiongnu.

……

As time passed, a month passed by in a blink of an eye. Zhao Tuo, the King of South Vietnam, had arrived outside Chang'an City. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che directly sent his imperial chariot to greet Zhao Tuo, the King of South Vietnam.

At this time, during the court meeting, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was wearing an imperial crown. The red and black imperial robes were full of majesty, and the appearance under the crown was even more majestic.

In the main hall, the ministers were sitting. At this time, no one said anything, they just waited quietly, waiting for the arrival of Zhao Tuo, the king of South Vietnam.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, cautiously welcomed the arrival of the Nanyue King Zhao Tuo, which showed that the Han Dynasty valued the Nanyue Kingdom.
