Lu Jia's words made many people confused.

However, Lu Jia had no more explanation.

And they took the men back to the city, and each to his own dwelling.

At the same time, Zhao Tuo, who was tired from the boat and car, couldn't take care of his physical exhaustion at the moment, and he didn't even have time to settle down after entering the city, so he hurriedly followed him to see the emperor.

And Wang Buxing's original intention was to let Zhao Tuo rest in Luoyang for a while to recover, and then take a good look around Luoyang.

At the same time, he sent someone to inform Lu Jia to come back quickly, such a good pretend...... No, it's an opportunity to deter the envoys of the Western Regions, how can you not take advantage of it?

However, Wang was not hungry and did not expect that Zhao Tuo was even more anxious than him.

For Zhao Tuo, what is there to visit in Luoyang City?

In fact, the moment he saw Luoyang City from afar, Zhao Tuo was convinced.

In the early years, he had not been to Luoyang, that is, he had passed through Luoyang before going to Lingnan.

And how long did Qin fall?

How long was the Han Dynasty founded?

It has only been five years since Wang Bu was called the emperor, even if he started to build the emperor, but Luoyang could be expanded to this point in five years, how could Zhao Tuo not be convinced?

Not to mention, the real construction period of Luoyang is only three years.

Sui He even told him that the construction of Luoyang took a new approach to technology.

It was built faster, stronger and more resistant than traditional walls.

Wind and rain are not afraid of being washed away, there is simply no better way to build in the world.

Then Zhao Tuo was completely convinced.

If you don't accept it, you can't do it!

It took so many years for me to make Lingnan look like that, and it took three years for others to make Luoyang like this.

What can you do if you are not convinced?

So, Zhao Tuo couldn't wait.

After all, he has been the king of Nanyue for so many years, and although he is about to be demoted, Zhao Tuo is still very concerned about his future.

On the way, I heard that the Han Dynasty intended to open up the Western Regions, so Zhao Tuo's careful thinking came up again.

"Lingnan jungle is dense, the environment is harsh, the transportation is inconvenient, the minister failed to return to the court in time to see His Majesty, the minister is guilty!" As soon as the two sides met, Zhao Tuo spoke directly.

Of course, he knew that the king could not cure him for his sins if he was not hungry, and there was no reason to punish him.

But everyone is a cultural person, and the scene still has to be sufficient.

As for the rest, we'll talk about it later!

"That place in Lingnan can even be lost by the scouts I sent, and it is understandable that the general does not know about the Central Plains incident, the general has worked diligently in Lingnan over the years to open up a new world for the imperial court, such a great achievement, how can I blame the general!" Wang Bu responded with a smile, others have given face, and he can't lose other people's face, isn't it just business blowing each other, I'm good at this.

"I'm ashamed, after so many years, I haven't been able to completely clear the threat of the Lingnan natives......," Zhao Tuo continued.

"The general doesn't have to blame himself, before the general, Lingnan was a wild land, and it was not easy to make it like the Central Plains? This is something that requires generations and countless generations of continuous cultivation to undergo earth-shaking changes, if I pin my hopes on the general alone, then what have I become? Isn't it just a faint king? ”

"Your Majesty......"

"Okay, I haven't forgotten the general's achievements over the years, and I won't forget it, I will rest and rest in Luoyang during this time, and after a while, I will arrange a position for the general." Wang Bu was not hungry and said patiently.

This time is not to fool Zhao Tuo.

But it is really after a while, when Lu Jia comes back with the Western Regions mission, he will hold a great court meeting, and Zhao Tuo will hand over the power of Lingnan at this time, and at the same time accept the canonization and receive a new position.

Although Zhao Tuo is a self-proclaimed king, he belongs to the kind of person who is extremely ambitious.

But Wang is not hungry and will not use him because of this, no matter what, since Zhao Tuo can manage Lingnan so well, he definitely has talent.

And people are also so cooperative this time, let the power be handed over, and let it come back.

As an emperor, you have to set a good example for others, don't you?

"Your Majesty, the minister has been cultivating outside for so many years, I am afraid that he will not be suitable for the position in the mainland, if possible, the minister implores Your Majesty, while the minister can still do it now, let the minister go and do his part for the Han Dynasty again!" Zhao Tuo didn't feel embarrassed or anything, and said directly.

If you hesitate, you will be defeated, and if you don't express your thoughts at this time, it will be too late for the emperor to arrange it.

And Zhao Tuo really doesn't want to stay in the imperial court, except for a higher official position and being able to pretend to be a force, what else can he do?

Besides, how can you pretend to be forced in front of the emperor?

Did he dominate the party outside and pretend to be incense?

Surely not......

And listening to Zhao Tuo's request, Wang Bu was not hungry and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Fate!

This must be a special fate......

"Well, I'll think about it!" Wang Bu nodded without hunger.

I have to admit that he thought of going with Zhao Tuo.

Although people like Zhao Tuo are relatively safe to settle in the mainland, they are surrounded by eyes, and they can't make any waves.

However, the placement of Zhao Tuo in the county in the interior is inevitably a bit overkill.

Generally speaking, the county guards in the interior only need to have the skills of guarding.

However, the expatriate county guards must have the two attributes of pioneering and defending.

Therefore, the officialdom pattern of the Han Dynasty is actually quite delicate now.

In the past, people only wanted to go to prosperous and wealthy counties, that is, there were more people, more money and less affairs, and they were properly promoted in the past few years.

But now it's different, everyone is scrambling to go to the border county.

The imperial court wanted to vigorously develop, and the border counties belonged to the goal of development, and even further afield.

In terms of political career, having experience in developing border counties is a very good resume for officials, which means that they are also county guards, and the county guards of border counties have a greater chance of entering the center of the imperial court.

The emperor's ideas influenced the cabinet and also the ministry.

So gradually, another unwritten custom was formed.

Many counties in the border counties have already been inspected, and after the inspection, they will be transferred to the inland counties to serve as county guards.

After a few years, he may return to the border county to serve as a county warden.

And the county in the mainland can only wait for the opportunity, unless there is just a shortage of people, and there is just no suitable person, otherwise it is difficult to get on the throne.

The higher the level, the more difficult it is to climb up, and it is the same everywhere.

After so many years of Lingnan career, Zhao Tuo has enough ability to open up a new area.

Such a person asked him to grab the position of those raw melons and eggs, even if the king was not hungry, he felt that it was very inappropriate.

So when he received the notice ten days ago, Wang Bu was thinking about this problem.

And for Zhao Tuo's next best place, it is obviously the Western Regions.

As for whether Zhao Tuo will play a good show of Xiyue in the Western Regions, Wang Buxing thinks that this is unlikely, or absolutely impossible.

Because the current system is the separation of military and government, Zhao Tuo only has political power, but no military power.

The military is also moving regularly, interacting with personnel, and interacting with the station.

Maybe it took you a year to get through the relationship and turn the troops into your own hardcore, but maybe the next year your station will be transferred.

And then, the officers were replaced, and then they were retired, and they were rotated normally.

After a series of operations, the impact on the generals who normally control the military power is not great, but for those who have the intention to do things, the difficulty has increased by hundreds of times.

Not only do you have to guard against the repercussions of the transfer, but you also have to guard against whether the scouts will tell you.

And the fact is that in all the armies of the Han Dynasty, every battalion of five hundred men has at least one scout.

A few people may not be discovered if they are making a small fuss in private, but it is absolutely impossible to keep the news of large-scale anomalies.

And this matter is only known to Wang Buxing, Peng Yue, and the governor and series of personnel of the scout headquarters who specifically operated this matter, and even the military department does not know, or may have heard of it, but the specific arrangements and the number of personnel are absolutely confidential.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Tuo is not an ordinary person, he originally wanted to be crowned king, and now you have recognized his merits in Lingnan, if this is sent out again, if he does a good job, you must not be crowned a king?" Zhang Buyi said with some puzzlement.

"If he can help me completely stabilize the Western Regions and become the inherent territory of the Han Dynasty, what if I make him a king?" Wang Bu was not hungry and responded with high spirits.

"Besides, I originally gave him this opportunity, talents are always talents, you can't restrict them because of some concerns, sometimes, the harder the pressure, the more ruthless the rebound, it's better to give him some hope, let him work hard for this, even if he is crowned king in the future, at least he has brought actual benefits to the court, then he deserves to be crowned king." As he spoke, Wang Buxing turned his head to look at Zhang Buyi.

In fact, he is a little speechless about this product, obviously he has potential, but he has to be afraid of this and that.

Although it can be interpreted as a desire to survive, it ......

Never mind......

"Why don't I give you a chance to be crowned king?"

"Don't ......" Zhang Buyi subconsciously shook his head, and then said: "I think it's good now, I stand here every day at work, I don't have to anything, if I'm not happy, go to the camp to practice those young men, whether it's the court or the camp, whoever sees me has to respectfully shout General Zhang, whoever sees me has to give face, this kind of good life can't be put aside to be the king who wants to die or live outside?" My head isn't rusty yet......"

The king of the Han Dynasty is not good, this is a rule that has been set a long time ago.

What does it mean, there is no king in the homeland.

When your merits have accumulated to a certain extent, and you feel that you can be crowned king, then you can completely propose it yourself.

In the past, everyone would have thought that this man must be crazy, and he dared to propose to be crowned king.

But don't worry about that at all, as long as you have enough credit, you can boldly bring it up.

Then, the court will send an army and give you a group of civilians to conquer a new territory outside of the homeland.

That's right, the territory is still fought by the army of the Han Dynasty, and after the defeat, you will be your king honestly, govern your land well, and your people will be fine.

The garrison is still the army of the Han Dynasty.

That is to say, the king of the Han Dynasty only enjoys the autonomy of the fief, but the laws and rules must be in accordance with the Han Dynasty, and the annual tax is handed over to the imperial court, and he is responsible for bearing the consumption of the garrison in the feudal country.

It can also be understood as sealing you as a Taishou, you have been a Taishou all your life, your son is also a Taishou, and your grandson is still too Shou.

Of course, people are selfish, even Zhang Buyi is no exception.

The front foot just rejected the king's kindness, and then said cheaply: "Why don't you wait for me to be crowned a king after I die, and then my son will be demoted by one level when he inherits the title, and I have even thought about the title, or how about calling me the overlord of the Han Dynasty?" When the time comes, the tombstone will say that the overlord of the Han Dynasty, the general of the Great Han Praetorian Guard......"
