The great man will live forever

Chapter 111 Destroying South Vietnam (Emperor Yiwu was furious)
Don't you hear that the time is like the whip of a horse, and the sun and the moon are like falling flowers and flowing water.

In the blink of an eye, we came to 113 BC, the fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In this year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once again started his pace of conquering the world. He specially sent Anguo Shaoji and the debaters to admonish the army, the warrior Wei Chen, etc. The people went to South Vietnam as envoys, hoping to peacefully unify South Vietnam.

When Anguo Shaoji arrived in the capital of Nanyue, which is now Guangzhou, the Queen Mother believed that unification was the general trend and urged submission to the Han Dynasty.

Of course, there are many secrets here.

First of all, why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Anguo Shaoji to take the lead instead of someone else is very particular. It involves some secrets and some love-hate entanglements.

The Queen Mother of South Vietnam, the Min family, was from Handan. In 135 BC (the sixth year of the founding of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty), the South Vietnamese Emperor Zhao Wei (also called Zhao Hu) sent the prince Zhao Yingqi to Chang'an as a hostage, and the Min family married in Chang'an. Zhao Yingqi was the crown prince of South Vietnam at the time.

But before she married the South Vietnamese prince Zhao Yingqi, she actually had a love affair.

So no wonder some people joke that if you want to live a good life, you must have a little green on your head. The folk customs in the Warring States and Qin and Han Dynasties were very fierce and open to matters between men and women. Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms carried this forward, leading to The legacy of Wei Wu still exists today...

Don't say you are just a South Vietnamese prince, you are also an emperor. Sometimes you still have to wear the hat you should have.

The most famous among them is Empress Dowager Xuan of the Qin State during the Warring States Period. She was originally from the Chu State and later became the concubine of King Qin Huiwen, known as Mi Bazi (the prototype of Mi Yue). She was also the mother of King Qin Zhaoxiang and a key figure in Chinese history. The first person to be called "Queen Mother".

Yiqu was an ancient ethnic group active in the area from the north of Jingshui River to Hetao during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. They had been at war with Qin for a long time and were Qin's biggest enemy at that time.

When King Qin Zhaoxiang succeeded to the throne, King Yiqu came to congratulate him (in a military kind of way, more like showing off his muscles). The Queen Mother Xuan had an affair with King Yiqu and gave birth to two sons. She probably used a beauty trick to seduce him. Hands, like opening trouser legs.

Do you think she just gave King Qin Huiwen a hat after her death?

No, here comes the terrible thing. It's true that she gives birth to a child for King Yiqu, and it's true that she often sleeps on the same bed. But what she thinks about all the time is how to destroy others. It's simply terrifying.

In the 35th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin (272 BC), Queen Mother Xuan lured her lover King Yiqu (without troops) into Qin and killed him in Ganquan Palace.The State of Qin took the opportunity to send troops to attack Yiqu and established three counties in Longxi, Beidi and Shangjun in Yiqu's hometown.

From then on, the Yi Canal was destroyed and the Qin Dynasty prospered!

She lived well in her later years and even had many male pets, but no one dared to say anything.

Later generations spoke quite favorably of her, saying: "The Empress Dowager Xuan used her position as the queen mother to sacrifice her appearance to have an affair with King Yiqu, and then planned to kill him. In one fell swoop, she destroyed Yiqu, a major problem in the west of the Qin State, and made the Qin State She can concentrate on heading east without any worries, and her achievements are no less than those of Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo who captured Bashu."

It has to be said that means don't matter. Those who achieve great things must not stick to trivial matters, but must be ruthless in heart and poisonous in hand.

Later, Qin Shihuang's mother Zhao Ji took her as an example. Zhao Ji was the daughter of a wealthy family in the Zhao state. She was initially Lu Buwei's concubine, and was later given to Qin Gongzi Zi Chu. She gave birth to a son, Ying Zheng, and was made his wife.

After Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng ascended the throne and became Queen of Qin, she had a noble status and was naturally unwilling to be a widow at a young age. She took advantage of Ying Zheng's youth to rekindle her old relationship with Lu Buwei, and often secretly had an affair with Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei, after all, was old and frail and could not keep up with his energy. He was also afraid that one day Ying Zheng would find out and it would harm him, so he secretly sought out the "Great Yin Man" Lao Ai and dedicated him to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji gave birth to two children for Lao Ai. The male favorite Lao Ai was sentenced to death because of the failure of her coup (known as the "Qinian Palace Incident" in history). The two sons born to Zhao Ji and Lao Ai were also sentenced to death. Ying Zheng died of a sudden attack.

Even though Zhao Ji takes Empress Dowager Xuan as an example, her methods are not ruthless enough, her vision is short-sighted, and she is greedy for personal enjoyment. After all, she is too far behind. If it were Wu Zetian, she might become the first empress, but it is just a possibility. Xiao, after all, her opponent was Qin Shi Huangdi.

I have to say that history is always surprisingly similar. The mother of Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, Zhao Ji, was married twice, but her son Ying Zheng became the first emperor through the ages.

The mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wang Quan, was also married for the second time, and he was also regarded as a famous emperor through the ages.

Probably because of these considerations, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used a beauty trick and sent An Guo Shaoji to persuade (sleep) the Queen Mother of South Vietnam, because the Queen Mother of South Vietnam's first love affair was with An Guo Shaoji. If their old relationship rekindles , which is also a matter of course.

As for why the South Vietnamese Queen Mother Fushi left Anguo Shaoji and fell into the arms of Zhao Yingqi?Maybe it's for money, maybe it's for power, for the future... After marrying Zhao Yingqi, she gave birth to a son named Zhao Xing.

As for whether he is a biological child, there was no DNA paternity test in ancient times, but he is a prince after all, so there should be no mistake.

In the first year of Yuanshou (122 BC), Zhao Quan was seriously ill. Zhao Yingqi asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to return to Nanyue Kingdom, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty approved it.In the same year, Zhao Quan died and Zhao Yingqi succeeded to the throne.

This Zhao Yingqi stayed in the Han Dynasty for more than ten years and saw the prosperity of Chang'an. He naturally knew how powerful the Han Dynasty was. He was extremely biased towards the Han Dynasty. He even wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, requesting that the Da family be made the queen and Zhao Xing be the prince ( Before he went to Chang'an, he had already married a South Vietnamese woman and gave birth to an eldest son). Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy and agreed to his request.

During his time in power, he surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and the main opponent of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the Huns, so he was not touched and had no reason to do so.

Of course, this surrender was also limited. The Han court sent envoys to Nanyue many times to remind Zhao Ying that Qi, like other princes and kings, came to Beijing for pilgrimage.

However, Zhao Yingqi only wanted to seize power and do whatever he wanted. He was afraid that once he entered the court, the court would use laws to restrain him like the princes in the mainland, so he insisted on claiming illness and did not go to Chang'an to attend the court. He only sent his son Zhao Cigong to Chang'an to serve as a bodyguard.

In the fourth year of Yuanding (113 BC), Zhao Yingqi passed away and was given the posthumous title of King Ming.After Zhao Yingqi died, Prince Zhao Xing succeeded to the throne.

At this time, the new King of South Vietnam, Zhao Xing, was young, the Queen Mother of South Vietnam, the Queen Mother, had a distinguished status and was a Han. The Han Dynasty had almost defeated the Huns. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that the time was almost up, so he used a beauty trick.

I have to say that this strategy is still effective. After Anguo Shaoji came to Nanyue Kingdom, he had an affair with the Queen Mother again and successfully persuaded her.

Most of the officials and people of Nanyue Kingdom knew about this, and most of them did not rely on the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was afraid of unrest and wanted to rely on the power of the Han Dynasty. She repeatedly persuaded Zhao Xing and his officials to join the Han Dynasty.

So he sent a letter to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty through an envoy, requesting that the princes in the interior should meet with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once every three years, and that the border fortresses bordering the Han Dynasty be removed.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was extremely happy, thinking that he could conquer South Vietnam without a fight, so he agreed to the request of the South Vietnam Kingdom and gave the Prime Minister Lu Jia the silver seal, as well as the official seals of internal history, lieutenant, and grand master. The rest of the official positions were set up by the South Vietnam Kingdom itself. This meant that The Han Dynasty court directly appointed and dismissed senior officials of the South Vietnam Kingdom.

After receiving the order from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Xing and the Queen Mother immediately prepared their luggage and valuables to prepare for going to Beijing to meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Things had gone smoothly until this point. If it had succeeded, Anguo Shaoji would probably have gone down in history, just like how Empress Dowager Xuan persuaded King Yiqu.

It's a pity that beauty traps have been successful since ancient times, but beauty traps are more difficult.

Of course, there are also reasons for Anguo Shaoji's hesitation and weak character.

Everyone else was satisfied with completely relying on the Han Dynasty. Only one person was firmly opposed to it. He was Lu Jia, the prime minister of Nanyue Kingdom. He was very old and assisted three generations of Nanyue kings from Zhao Huang and Zhao Yingqi to Zhao Xing.

There are more than 70 people from his clan serving as officials in the South Vietnam Kingdom, and they are married to the royal family of South Vietnam. They have a very prominent position in the South Vietnam Kingdom. They have won the trust of the officials and people of the South Vietnam Kingdom, even surpassing Zhao Xing's prestige. He is the real power holder of the South Vietnam Kingdom. .

In line with the principle of attacking first to be strong, and then to suffer disaster.

In 112 BC, Lu Jia revolted. He first created public opinion, saying that King Zhao Xing of Yue was too young and that the Queen Mother was from the Central Plains. She also had an affair with an envoy from the Han Dynasty. She wanted to belong to the Han Dynasty and did not take into account the country of Nanyue. She only cared about getting the Han Dynasty. To the emperor's favor.

It was also said that the Empress Dowager went to Chang'an to present all the treasures of Nanyue to the Han emperor and sell the people of Nanyue to the Han people as slaves.

At this time, the South Vietnamese people naturally refused, and then Lu Jia took the opportunity and his brother led troops to attack the palace, killed Zhao Xing, the Empress Dowager and the Han Dynasty envoys, and appointed the "Marquis of Shuyang" Zhao Jiande (Zhao Xing's half-brother) as his successor. The King of Nanyue, known in history as the "Lü Jia Rebellion".

This was not the end, Lu Jia even designed to wipe out all the more than 2000 Han troops led by Han Qianqiu and Yu Le.

This time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was completely angered, and the war to conquer South Vietnam was about to begin.
