A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 187 Touring the World (Additional update at the end of the month!!!)

February
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty ordered that Princess Liu Shu of Anping be married to Lu Tong, son of Lu Tai. For a time, the Lu family became more powerful in the court.

March
The Han Emperor visited the State of Zhao on a tour, and King Liu Ruyi of Zhao personally received him and held a banquet in the State of Xiang.

During the banquet, the Han Emperor frequently mentioned the past events of his late emperor, which made King Zhao very unhappy. Afterwards, the Han Emperor stayed in the State of Zhao for half a month. During this period, he occupied the Zhao Palace and played with his concubines. However, the Emperor Han brought a huge number of attendants and troops with him, and the expenses were huge, all of which were borne by the State of Zhao.

During this period, Zhao Guoxiang came to Zhao Wang many times and said: Zhao Guo is a small country with only one county in Changshan. It is also mountainous and the people are tired and the country is poor. I may not be able to support your majesty's army for many days. I hope the king will make plans early. King Zhao didn't know it, but he couldn't drive Emperor Han out. Finally, at the suggestion of the Han Emperor's personal eunuch, ten beauties were presented, and the Han Emperor left with satisfaction.

At the second stop, Emperor Han went to the Kingdom of Zhongshan to visit his brother King Zhongshan. Seeing that King Zhongshan was doing well, after recalling the past, he left on the third day without embarrassing King Zhongshan too much.

Later, Emperor Han came to the Kingdom of Dai and was warmly received by King Liu Heng. After learning what happened to King Zhao, on the day of the banquet, the King presented ten beauties and twenty BMWs.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was very satisfied with King Dai's sensibleness, and said bluntly to his left and right: Uncle Dai Huang is indeed what the late emperor said, one of the most capable and virtuous men among all the brothers. You see how King Dai manages the country of Dai, and you all learn from it. Focus. The eunuchs nearby all praised him enthusiastically.

The king of Dai said respectfully: "Don't dare, the benevolent emperor is such a person, his virtues are even better than those of the ancient sages. How virtuous and capable is Liu Heng? Your Majesty praised me wonderfully. I am living in the country of Dai. Fortunately, I am valued by my great ancestor and granted the title Being the king on behalf of the Han Dynasty is just a matter of pacifying the frontiers of the Han Dynasty, and I have only fulfilled my duty of being the king of the Han Dynasty."

Emperor Han smiled and said to King Dai: "Okay, what a great responsibility. If all the princes in the world have the same awareness as the emperor, why worry about the Han Dynasty not being prosperous, and why worry about the Xiongnu not being destroyed?"

Because he was satisfied with King Dai's respectful and sensible behavior, Emperor Han only stayed in Dai for seven days before leaving for Yan. But just these seven days consumed the country's military expenditure and taxes for three years.

As soon as they entered the Yan Kingdom, the Imperial Guards of the Han Emperor noticed that there were peeping cavalry around them. The closer they went in, the more intense the sense of peeping became. The matter reached the ears of the Imperial Guards General Lu Lu. Lu Lu was a veteran military aristocrat with deep knowledge of the matter. Knowing that Yan State is located on the border, with a small population and a vast territory, where Han and barbarians live together, there is no reason why Lu Lu did not pay attention to it.

"Are you saying that some barbarians are eyeing my convoy?" Emperor Han looked at Lu Lu and saw him nodding. Emperor Han said disdainfully:
"I have ten thousand imperial guards, but are we still afraid of these small groups of Hu cavalry? If we retreat after hearing this, wouldn't it be disrespectful to me? I sent an order to send cavalry to clear them up, and the army went straight to the capital of Yan."

Lu Lu had no choice but to obey orders.

Soon, the Han army's cavalry continued to cut off the surrounding rangers, but because they were not familiar with the situation, many herdsmen and innocent Han people around the army were strangled, which aroused the anger of the Yan people.

Just when the Han emperor's troops were about to arrive at Ji, the capital of Yan, a scout sent word that Yandu was surrounded by a large group of Hu cavalry, numbering no less than 100,000.

The Han Emperor quickly ordered the army to retreat to a high ground in the rear. At this time, Lu Lu said: "Your Majesty, before the barbarians have discovered us, we should leave quickly, otherwise Gaozu's old affairs will be revealed before our eyes."

"Yes, yes, retreat quickly!"

Soon, the Han Emperor retreated first with three thousand personal guards and light cavalry, while a large group of infantry followed behind to escort the concubines and the property presented by the princes and kings. The march was very slow. When the Han Emperor and others arrived at the border of Yan State, the large Han army was discovered by the Hu people.

These Hu people all gathered in retaliation for the burning, killing, and looting committed by the Han Emperor along the way. They just wanted to go to the capital of Yan to ask the King of Yan for an explanation. There were both Han and Hu people among them.

At this time, someone discovered that there was a large group of Han troops marching behind them. The flags they saw were those of the Han army that was the culprit. In the excitement of the crowd, more than half of the cavalry came towards the large Han army.

But after all, the Han army was the elite of the country, and the rebel army was a ragtag group that had gathered temporarily and was quickly dispersed by the Han army. When the King of Yan saw that these people dared to attack the Han Emperor's convoy, he was so frightened that he quickly sent troops to capture the city. The cavalry outside were killed and dispersed, and they rushed to the Han Emperor with their cronies to plead guilty.

At the southern border of Yan State, there is a small county town.

"Your Majesty, King Liu Jian of Yan, is here to see you. May your Majesty live forever!"

"I'm uneasy. I'm being chased here by a group of unscrupulous people. You're in charge! Can you explain to me?"

The King of Yan said with a bitter look: "The Yan State is far away from the Central Plains. There are very few Han people, and Hu Feng is very popular among the Han people, so it is very difficult to govern. Taxes are often not collected, and it has to rely on the support of the King of Qi every year to survive. The minister still has to resist the Donghu people in the north, and he is even more difficult to support.

As for this group of cavalry, I heard that His Majesty’s motorcade was indiscriminately massacring the people along the way, which aroused the resistance of the people and led them to come to Yandu to ask for an explanation. Just when I was about to negotiate with them, they unexpectedly discovered His Majesty’s motorcade. I rushed towards His Majesty’s motorcade like crazy, I was not expecting it! "

The Han Emperor was embarrassed when he found out that he had caused the problem, but he could not punish King Yan. If King Yan gave up his job, who would take over this hot potato?

He had no choice but to calm down the atmosphere and said: "Fortunately, King Yan came to the rescue in time. I didn't suffer too much impact. Just make up for it and I won't punish you."

King Yan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but after hearing about the purpose of Emperor Han's trip, he was afraid that Emperor Han would ask him for Mei Ji's BMW, which he did not have, so he preemptively said: "Your Majesty also knows about the poverty of Yan land. I hope your majesty can support me, otherwise it will be difficult for me to maintain my position!"

When Emperor Han heard that he was asking for money, he immediately yawned and said, "I'm tired, let's talk about it another day!"

The eunuch next to him immediately received the hint and stepped forward with a smile to ask King Yan to go out. In the afternoon of the same day, Emperor Han's motorcade headed south. King Yan took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, secretly spit, and whispered: "He~tui~, what is it!"

The Han Emperor's motorcade entered Bohai County from Zhuo County and arrived at Qi State.

Qidu, Linzi

"Your Majesty, King Liu Xiang of Qi, is here to see you. May your Majesty live forever!" King Qi led his ministers to greet the Emperor of Han in the north of Linzi City.

"Without courtesy, I am in peace." Emperor Han treated King Qi differently from other princes and kings, and said with a smile: "Qi is indeed a great country in ancient times. It has been very prosperous along the way, which is in sharp contrast with Yan. !”

King Qi smiled modestly and said: "Your Majesty is joking, I have set up a banquet in the city, please move here!"

The Emperor of Han entered the Che Luan, followed by the King of Qi's Che Luan, and everyone filed in one after another.

The Qi Palace, at this time, had become the palace of the Han Emperor and was guarded by the Han Emperor's imperial guards, while the Qi Prince's family was moved to other palaces.

In the past two months, the Han Emperor had been wandering around the bitter cold land in the north, and his mouth had become a bird. Unlike Chang'an and Chaoge, Linzi's prosperity has an ancient charm, and buildings from the Pre-Qin period can be seen everywhere in the city.

And because Qi has always been a commercial capital, although it has been suppressed a lot by policies since the Qin and Han Dynasties, with the support of the current King of Qi and Prime Minister Qi, it has gradually restored prosperity, and Linzi has become the second largest commercial capital after Chaoge. However, its commercial support His temperament is far inferior to that of Chaoge, and his attitude toward merchants is far less experienced and generous than that of Bai Guo.

The most prosperous place in Chaoge is in the south of the city, famous for its "City that Never Sleeps", "Lantern City" and "Shang Capital of the World", while the most prosperous place in Linzi is in the west of the city, famous for its "Former Capital of Qi", "Qi Shang" and "Border of the East China Sea" famous.

The Qi State is also most famous for being the "Capital of Women in the World". It is said that there is a Yamen three steps away from Chang'an City, a Chehou Mansion five steps away, and a Duke's and Clan's Mansion ten steps away from Chang'an City. There is a wine shop three steps away, a shop five steps away, and an academy ten steps away.

In Linzi, there is a small nvcang at three steps, a middle nvcn at five steps, and a big nvcn at ten steps. The Han Emperor seemed to be in heaven. He led his men around the Linzi Nulu all day long, and he spent a lot of money. Soon, it was reported among the Linzi Nulu that a big benefactor had come to Linzi recently. Who could get his money? If you show favor, you can not only get a lot of gold and silver, but also hope to redeem yourself.

As a result, the entire Linzi women's clan was excited, and everyone dressed up in fancy clothes, hoping to be valued by them.

In this way, the Han Emperor stayed in the Qi State for a month. If the Qi State was not rich, the Qi State might have been dragged down long ago. However, the food and drink of so many people also made the King of Qi curse secretly. The King of Qi could not help but I thought: Is this considered cutting off the vassal clan in disguise? Or was it simply that the Han Emperor liked to have fun?

Originally, the King of Qi wanted to imitate the King of Zhao and presented twenty beauties, ten carts of aged wine, and many precious treasures. However, the Emperor of Han was like a golden toad, eating in but unable to move.

King Qi was very depressed. He was about to talk to his concubine Xia Ji to express his feelings, but was told that Xia Ji had gone out for an outing. King Qi had no choice but to stay in the empty room alone and let someone pick her up quickly.

An hour later, his subordinates hurried in and said that Xia Ji was missing. There was only an empty carriage at the scene.

The King of Qi was furious and asked me to investigate. In the Qi State, there are still people who dare to stroke the tiger's beard. Okay, just because my sword is not good?
Soon, King Qi's power, coupled with Qi Guoting's lieutenant, quickly found clues. Someone saw several carriages passing Xia Ji's motorcade. After exploring all the way, they found that the final location of these carriages was the Qi Palace.

King Qi looked at the investigation results in his hand, and his scalp itched, as if something was about to pop up.

"Arrogant!" King Qi threw the things on the cases to the ground.

"Come here, order the army to march to the palace. I want to see it and let the world know that he robbed his brothers and concubines. Does he, the emperor, have the dignity to sit in that position again?"

"I have the order!" The Qi general next to him turned around and went out of the city to mobilize the army.

After receiving the news of the troop deployment, Qi Guolian hurriedly found the King of Qi and asked what was going on? Without saying a word, King Qi put Prime Minister Qi under house arrest and personally led his troops to the palace.

But when the Qi soldiers surrounded the palace, they found that the palace was empty. It turned out that the Han Emperor originally lingered in the land of fireworks, but after many days, he only felt that they were all rouge and vulgar powder, and the vulgarity was intolerable.

I wanted to go outside to relax, but I saw Xia Ji. She was like a spring breeze blowing on her face, and the dusty air of the past few days had all dispersed. However, the Han Emperor always acted without scruples, so he directly ordered people to take her away by force.

When he returned to Qi Palace, after the Han Emperor had finished his work, he learned from Xia Ji that she was Qi Wang's concubine. Knowing that she had caused a big trouble, she quickly led the army and left from the nearest city gate, with Qi Wang's army behind him.

Seeing that the Han Emperor had joined the Han army, the King of Qi knew that he had lost his opportunity and had to withdraw his troops and return. However, in his heart, his hatred for the Han Emperor became deeper and deeper.

The Emperor of Han, who had escaped the disaster, felt very excited. Not only did he not return Xia Ji to King Qi, but he also wrote a letter to thank King Qi for sending these beauties. King Qi was about to go crazy, but now that Emperor Han was so powerful, I had to endure it.
