I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 80: All Nations Come to Pay Homage! [Fourth Update]

"?!"

When he heard the news again, Huo Guang trembled again.

It would be a coincidence if the Yelang Kingdom sent an envoy to actively request submission.

It is only because we are unable to resolve the internal and external troubles in the country that we want to use the power of the Han Dynasty to solve the current problems in the country.

So now there is a new country called Zuodu. This can’t be a coincidence, right?

Could it be that the political systems of these small countries in southern Xinjiang are all cut from the same mold? !
"..."

Liu Che was also stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked,
"What is this... Capital Country? Which small country is it?"

"In reply to your Majesty, the State of Zuodu is located to the west of the State of Yelang. The Southwestern Yi Road that your Majesty ordered to be built passes through this country."

"Is this country also willing to implement military merit titles, atonement orders, and grain payment to increase official positions in the country, just to ask for the special treatment of the Han Dynasty under the "one country, two systems" policy?"

"Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly it!"

"..."

At this moment, Liu Che was speechless.

This rebellious son behaved so recklessly in the Kingdom of Nanyue, yet it produced such shocking results?
In other words, Liu Che did not know the term "broken window effect", otherwise he could have made a concise summary of the current situation.

But this news was enough to stimulate him to continue thinking along the same lines.

My army has enough deterrent power, and this is a big stick that can intimidate people.

Under this premise, this rebellious son suddenly came up with the idea of ​​"one country, two policies", which is an enticing sweet treat.

However, titles for military merit, orders for redemption and official appointments in exchange for payment of grain are the money in the hands of small countries.

Holding a big stick in one hand and honey in the other.

Forcing these small countries to use money to buy honey?

What is this? This is called bullying and forced buying and selling!
What on earth had this rebellious son done before? Could he still be a lowly merchant?

and many more!

This time, the Nanyue Kingdom alone received more than 40 million coins...

How much money can the Yelang Kingdom get?

How much money can the Zuodu Kingdom get?
Is it possible that the sum of the three could exceed tens of millions of dollars...

With this money, if I add some more, will it be enough to cross the northern desert and conquer the Huns again?
By this calculation, it seems that I haven't lost money by selling my face?
Stop!

How could I have such a ridiculous idea? If everyone follows this rebellious son and sells my face as a commodity, what on earth will I become? !
This time I will never tolerate it again, otherwise anyone will dare to pull my dragon's beard!

……

Now from the outside world's perspective.

Wei Qing was still trapped in the Weiyang Palace.

Liang Cheng and others were thrown into the imperial prison.

Huo Guang was dismissed from his post and sent to Jinma Gate to wait for orders.

Liu Ju was directly placed under house arrest in Bowang Garden by the Chief Justice.

All aspects prove one thing: the dethronement and enthronement of the emperor is inevitable this time!
It was only because the envoys from Yelang and Zuodu came at an inopportune time that the emperor had no time to take care of the matter. He had to wait until the envoys left the capital before issuing an edict to summon all officials to discuss and deal with the matter.

For this reason, Liu Ju had become a "deposed crown prince" in the eyes of many people.

Such a dangerous situation naturally had a significant impact on the officials and servants of Bowang Garden, and everyone had begun to consider their own escape route.

"Your Highness, I am old, and Your Highness is also an adult..."

A woman in her forties knelt in front of Liu Ju. Although her eyes were slightly wet, she still spoke with a hint of tears,
"I'm afraid there's nothing I can do for Your Highness in the future. I feel really bad for being a burden to Your Highness in your mansion... So I boldly beg Your Highness to allow me to return to my hometown. I kowtow to Your Highness here."

This woman was Liu Ju's wet nurse, but she was also the servant closest to Liu Ju.

She is not the first to go, nor will she be the last.

In just these two days, except for the officials and slaves who could not leave, more than one-third of the people in Bowang Garden chose to resign voluntarily for fear of being implicated after Liu Ju was deposed.

Liu Ju never tried to keep anyone, but gave them all money and let them go.

This wet nurse is naturally no exception.

"Go, I have asked people to prepare the travel expenses in advance. Don't forget to go to the Minister of Households to collect it before leaving. Take care." Liu Ju nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will always remember your kindness and generosity. Please... take care..."

The wet nurse felt as if she had been pardoned. She kowtowed three times to Liu Ju in gratitude. But the moment she stood up and turned her head, the tears in her eyes silently slid down her cheeks.

What kind of sin is this!
Why did such a good child have to be born into the most ruthless imperial family...

"Ugh……"

Seeing this, Guo Zhen, the prince's assistant, sighed helplessly and turned away quietly.

He knew that Liu Ju had no resentment towards these people at all.

When Liu Ju dismissed those retainers, he did not give them a penny for travel expenses.

But this time the travel expenses given to these servants were very generous, especially for old ladies like the wet nurse who had served for many years. The travel expenses given were enough for them to buy some land and property after they left and live out the rest of their lives.

Liu Ju treated them...he had done his utmost to be kind to them.

He could also understand Liu Ju's thoughts.

These servants are powerless common people, and they are not even as important as a grain of sand in the great event that is about to happen.

It would be better to let them leave this dangerous place as soon as possible, so that when the strong wind blows... they will end up with no body left.

But he still couldn't understand it.

Why was Liu Ju still able to behave so flawlessly at this point?

And he wasn't pretending to be indifferent. On the contrary, he looked happy no matter what happened. Sometimes he would even laugh when no one was around.

Your Highness, is this really necessary?
Or, the prince was preparing for a rainy day by pretending to be crazy before he was deposed? !

This is a wise choice...

……

Two more days passed.

The envoys of Ran State and Xi State arrived in Chang'an together and requested to submit to the Han Dynasty!

One more day.

The Qiong State delegation arrived in Chang'an!

One more day.

The Qielan Kingdom delegation arrived in Chang'an!
Two more days.

The Minyue Kingdom delegation arrived in Chang'an...

Most people still don’t know the specific reasons why delegations from southern Xinjiang countries flocked to the court, but these days have been an eye-opener.

But this made life difficult for the officials in the Grand Herald.

Although the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu in the Battle of Mobei a few years ago, leaving the royal court in Mobei no longer in existence.

At the same time, Zhang Qian's several diplomatic missions to the Western Regions also enabled the Han Dynasty to establish connections with some small countries in the Western Regions, and the two sides occasionally exchanged envoys.

But it is the first time that such a large number of foreign delegations have visited the country recently.

Moreover, the number of visiting delegations in these days alone has surpassed the total of the past one or two years, which is simply overwhelming!
While the Grand Herald had a group of officials so busy that they were unable to keep up.

"Is this the legendary feeling of all nations coming to pay tribute?"

In his heart, Liu Che felt an unprecedented great satisfaction, even more satisfied than when Huo Qubing conquered the Wolf's Lair on his behalf.

After all, it was before the Han Dynasty.

In history, there is only one emperor who has achieved the grand occasion of all nations coming to pay tribute, and that is Yu the Great, who can be compared with Fuxi and Huangdi!

What is face?

The presence of all nations is the greatest honor in the world!

Compared with this face, the face Liu Ju lost in the Kingdom of Nanyue is simply worthless!
If the countries in the Western Regions could do the same, I would tear off this face and send it to them without frowning even once!
at this time.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, the Dian Kingdom delegation also arrived in Chang'an half an hour ago and requested to submit to the Han Dynasty!"
