Somewhat cruelly, Chen Ping only had one year left to live.

In this year, Chen Ping worked diligently and contributed his last effort to Dahan.

In order to ease the relationship between the Han Dynasty and Nanyue, Liu Heng sent people to renovate the ancestral tomb of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, in Zhending, set up tomb keepers to sacrifice on time, and gave Zhao Tuo's cousins who stayed in Zhending officials. Liu Heng is not Lei Feng, and he does good deeds without leaving a name. The kindness released by Dahan must be conveyed to Zhao Tuo. The point is, who to send to communicate with South Vietnam?

Chen Ping recommended Lu Jia to go out of the mountain, serve as a doctor in Taizhong, and send an envoy to South Vietnam. During Liu Bang's time, Lu Jia sent an envoy to South Vietnam to persuade Zhao Tuo to return to the Han Dynasty. It is said that Zhao Tuo likes Lu Jia very much, and chats with Lu Jia several times a day, and is very happy after chatting every time, sighing: "I have been in the barbarian land for decades, and I usually want to talk to someone, but I can't talk together." Lu Sheng came, and I had a common language with him. When Lu Jia returned to Chang'an, Zhao Tuo generously gave a bunch of valuable gifts. These two are old acquaintances.

Later facts proved that Chen Ping's selection and appointment of people was just right. Lu Jia successfully completed his diplomatic mission.

This year, Lu Jia was sixty-one years old, and when he received the mission, he didn't say a word, took Liu Heng's letter, and set off. From Chang'an to Panyu (Guangzhou), there were all kinds of difficulties along the way. In the era when the infrastructure was extremely underdeveloped, it was enough for people to climb over the Wuling Mountains.

Lu Jia was not greedy for wealth and wealth, and when the Lu family was in power, he resigned decisively; Lu Jia is not short of money, he often sits in a luxurious carriage, takes his servants, and travels around. The only thing that sustains him is faith! There is a fire burning in Lu Jia's heart, as long as I live, as long as this country needs me, even if I die, I will not give up.

Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles. The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong!

When Lu Jia and his entourage arrived in South Vietnam, Zhao Tuo attached great importance to them and immediately met with them. Lu Jia sent Liu Heng's letter to Zhao Tuo, a letter from a strange man.

The gist of the letter is: I will inherit the throne and be justified. In the past, Lu Hou and South Vietnam had a stalemate, and I wanted to live in peace, which would be beneficial to both of us. Your ancestral tomb and clansmen in Dahan are well arranged. However, you can't be called an emperor, and you can't have two emperors in the world. The royal robes that I have given you have been brought by the messengers.

This letter is the famous "Book of Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue".

Lu Jiaxiao took advantage of the disadvantages and persuaded Zhao Tuo to return to the Han Dynasty again. In the middle of Nanyue, Zhao Tuo ordered: revoke the emperor's title and remove the emperor's special Yellow House Zuoxu.

Zhao Tuo replied to Liu Heng with a letter - "The Book of Emperor Baowen", and asked Lu Jia to bring it back to Chang'an. The letter called himself "The Great Elder of the Barbarians", and his tone was humble. This letter is also famous, and it is the earliest document in the Lingnan region that can be seen so far. Zhao Tuo was a vassal to the Han Dynasty, and sent people to Chang'an to pay tribute in spring and autumn every year, and the specifications were the same as those of the princes and kings. South Vietnam was once again formally subordinate to the Great Han.

Nine years later, Lu Jia passed away peacefully at the age of seventy. Life is so wonderful, what a regret!

Personnel metabolism, the founding fathers are like yellow leaves in the autumn wind, withering one after another.

In the winter of 180 B.C., Quzhou Hou Lishang died of illness.

In the spring of 179 BC, Liu Jiaoxu, the king of Chu, died.

In the winter of 178 BC, Chen Ping died while serving as prime minister. Before dying, he sighed: "Most of my life's strategies are conspiracy, and I am afraid that it will harm my children and grandchildren." ”

Chen Ping died, and Liu Heng appointed Zhou Bo as prime minister. Zhou Bo was born as a military general, and he usually refuses to study culture well, which is indeed incompetent. After working for less than a year, Liu Heng told him: "I decree the princes to let them go back to their fiefdoms and not stay in Chang'an." Some of them haven't left yet. Prime Minister, set an example and go back to the fiefdom. ”

Liu Heng's position gradually stabilized, and when he found an opportunity, he sent Zhou Bo away in a few words and appointed Guan Ying to take over the post of prime minister. Zhou Bo was full of loneliness and went to the fiefdom of Jiangxian County.

Falling from the top of power, Zhou Bo was not very adaptable, lacked a sense of security, and was worried that Liu Heng would unload the mill and kill the donkey. Whenever court officials came to inspect Hedong County, where Jiangxian County was located, Zhou Bo always suspected that people were coming to arrest him. Zhou Bo is a retired senior cadre, and the officials will definitely come to visit when they pass through Jiangxian County. Zhou Bo was so frightened that he was wearing armor and ordered his family to surround him with weapons in hand.

After a long time, someone wrote a letter accusing Zhou Bo of wanting to rebel. Liu Heng was suspicious, so he handed over the matter to the Tingwei Mansion to deal with. The Tingwei Mansion arrested Zhou Bo.

Zhou Bo is about to encounter an unprecedented ordeal!
