During the time when Li Han was at home, Liu Rong often went to Li Mansion to play with him under various pretexts, and it was clear that he was just a spoiled child, his heart was not bad, and the two were also very close to each other.

Otherwise, when Liu Rong was bewitched by King Liang to ask Li Han for help, Li Han would not have racked his brains to take him to Changle Palace to save his life, but he never expected that he had been to the Huns for more than three years, and Liu Rong still did not escape the fateful arrangement, and became a victim of the change of power in the palace.

Liu Che was sad for a long time before he said, "My brother is dead...... I hated the old man of Nazhi, and he refused to even pass on my brother's letters to my father, who thought that his father had disliked him, so he committed suicide......"

Li Han looked at Liu Che with strange eyes, and said slowly: "Death is death, you boys born in the emperor's family are like the five poisons used by the Miao people to raise Gu, fighting for the survival of the fittest, except for the one who wins the most can become the king, the others are destined to be the victims of sharpening the king."

Liu Rong's personality is too arrogant and fragile, since he does not have the ability to turn danger into a crisis, it is not a good thing to detach as soon as possible. ”

Liu Che looked at Li Han in shock, and said for a long time: "Cousin, you have some complaints about me. ”

"Nope." Li Han knew that Liu Che was very smart, and he could always keenly grasp a trace of his true emotions, and quickly denied it: "Although Liu Rong is dead, the only advantage is that you have one less competitor, but I know that you will not gloat over his death, otherwise, I will not treat you as my dearest brother." ”

Liu Che's eyes were red again, and he said in a low voice: "Xie Lu, Cousin Xie trusts me. In fact...... My mother and aunt both said that my brother was the crown prince, and Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying, important ministers in the court, supported him. Because of the abolition of him, Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying both threatened their father with resignation, and the two of them are still pretending to be sick at home. If my brother does not die, it will be difficult to save the day when my father was forced to depose me and restore my brother by the election of the ministers, so it is a good thing for me that he died.

But cousin. I swear I have never been afraid of my brother's threat to me, and I don't think the main thing as a prince is to have the support of important ministers. Instead, as you told me before leaving, improve your ability as soon as possible, so that my father and courtiers will find out that I have the ability and bearing of a king. As for my poor brother. How does being dead and being alive hinder my succession? ”

Li Han did complain about Liu Che just now, and when he heard his confession, he took his hand with relief and said: "You are right, brother, being an emperor is not such a simple thing, if you blindly count on the support of the ministers, and become the emperor in the future, you will not have the confidence to show the bearing of the king in front of the ministers, it is nothing more than a puppet who is swayed by the ministers."

Come on. Let's not be sad about Liu Rong's affairs, cheer up. Cousin still has a lot of things to tell you, after the talk we have to continue our fortune plan, only make a lot of money, can we do more things, the next day the ministers find that they don't need their help, you can strategize, decisive battle thousands of miles away, who dares not to admire you? ”

Liu Che nodded heavily and said: "Cousin, I have a brother like you, who is better than being supported by hundreds of officials, don't worry, in this life, you and I will be like brothers and sisters, and we will never change." When I ascend the throne, you will be my minister. ”

Li Han smiled: "Don't! Your brother and I are most afraid of being restrained, I can use everything I know to support you in private, but never let me be an official. When you become the emperor, how good it would be for your cousin and me to be a rich man at ease, I won't be an official for you. ”

Liu Che didn't speak, this kid also has a heart, thinking that it is still very early for me to become the emperor, and at that time, I can't help but you don't agree, and he rolled his eyes and said: "Cousin, how did the heavenly thunder bullet you used all the way come from?" I don't believe that you are really the Holy Son who can carry the thunder of the sky, and you made it yourself? Can you teach our military to make and use this kind of thing? ”

Li Han looked at Liu Che seriously and said, "Brother, you're right, that thing is a weapon I made. The swords, guns, swords, halberds, etc., of our time, which are used as sharp methods to kill, are collectively referred to as cold weapons. The thunderbolt I made was a thermal weapon that used gunpowder as the main raw material and used the powerful force generated by the explosion of gunpowder to cause large-scale damage.

Strictly speaking, I should not have appeared in this era, it is like a demonic beast from the wilderness, once it gets out of control, it will make rivers of blood flow and thousands of miles of red land.

Therefore, I don't plan to use it on a large scale, except as a last resort to deal with Yidi, I can't bear to have any of the big Han people die under the claws of this beast. ”

Liu Che was about to ask about the detailed difference between "cold" and "hot" weapons, when a small chamberlain quickly ran in and shouted: "The emperor and the prince are going to the main hall to discuss matters." ”

Li Han asked strangely: "It's just to find the prince, why am I going to the main hall as an idler who is being punished?" ”

"Oh, Yo Ma Lang, don't you know that there are six Xiongnu chieftains who knocked on the pass and asked to surrender, saying that through your education in the Xiongnu, they have understood that only the great Han Son of Heaven in the world is a saint appointed by the Heavenly Father. Now the military ministers and brothers are turning against each other, the internal wolf smoke is everywhere, and the Huns are scattered, and they are willing to take refuge in the Han Dynasty and be our loyal people.

Long live the Lord is very happy, the ministers congratulate my emperor Tianwei Hehe, the emperor is looking for you to ask for your opinion. ”

Liu Che jumped up and shouted: "Great, cousin, you are so powerful, the Huns who were stirred up on a trip out of Lu fell apart, and all of a sudden six chiefs surrendered, let's go quickly." ”

Li Han's heart sank, he didn't think that the teachings of the Holy Heaven Sect he created would be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people so quickly, even the tribal chiefs were influenced to surrender, most of the people who trusted the Holy Heaven Sect the most were poor herdsmen, they were rescued by Li Han's wonderful hand medical skills, so they trusted the Holy Heaven Sect taught by the Holy Son, those leaders were arrogant and greedy, and they were mercenary, how could they be enlightened and come to surrender?

The two of them came to the main hall, and before they could walk in, they heard a majestic voice speaking loudly, and the words were very intense: "Lu is a descendant of the traitorous king, and he should be punished, how can he be canonized?" Even if the other five Tartar chieftains are able to betray their country and join us now, will they not betray us in the future? Your Majesty has made them marquis, how will you admonish our courtiers to be loyal to the court in the future?

What's more, Taizu said that if you are not surnamed Liu, you can't be crowned a king, and you can't be a marquis if you don't have great merit, and now they are just here to surrender, and they have no merit for the Han Dynasty, and give them the marquis, won't it chill the hearts of the courtiers of my Han who have worked hard for the country but have not been crowned marquis! ”

Liu Che whispered to Li Han: "This is Prime Minister Zhou Yafu, he has been calling himself sick since Liu Rong's death, but he didn't expect to come today." ”

Li Han stood in the corner of the main hall, looking at the prime minister Zhou Yafu standing in the center of the main hall, only to see that he was tall and strong, with a leopard head and eyes, a long white hair under his jaw was lush and very dense, wearing a samurai crown, the top door was decorated with a red tassel, wearing a red round-necked prime minister's robe, the general had a dark belt on his belly, he was not wearing a saber around his waist, and he was wearing black boots.

Liu Qi sat behind his low table with an expressionless face, surrounded by many ministers, and Zhou Yafu, who was standing alone, had a condescending posture, as if no one in this hall stood with the truth like him.

Li Han secretly sighed that this person has no talent, this kind of temper can only be a pure soldier, and if he is a prime minister in the court, this will definitely cause the emperor's jealousy and dissatisfaction, no wonder because of the abolition of the prince, this prime minister is not reluctant to see the emperor or the emperor, but he doesn't want to see him at all.

On Li Han, he didn't want his courtiers to be better than himself, so he pointed his nose at every turn and accused himself of being wrong here and there, and he didn't know who was the emperor in the end.

Sure enough, after Zhou Yafu finished venting, when he was waiting for the emperor's answer, Liu Qimu said: "The prime minister has not been in the court for a long time, and the opinions he put forward are no longer appropriate, so he will not adopt them, and sit down." ”

Zhou Yafu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said angrily: "Although the old man is recuperating at home, he has not left Chang'an, and the ministers of the Prime Minister's Mansion are also sent to his home every day, why is it out of place?" ”

Yushi Liu She (Taohou) Wen Yan said: "Prime Minister and sit quietly, yesterday hairpin Ma Lang Li Han returned to Beijing, he served as the deputy envoy to the Huns, once led the guards to annihilate the Huns nearly 10,000 iron horsemen, the Huns Shan Yu military ministers and Zuogu Liwang Yi Zhi slanted against each other.

The left bone capital Hou Lansati because the people were also destroyed by the horse lang, so he claimed compensation from the royal court, and the military ministers did not allow it to lead the people to become independent, so the Xiongnu are currently divided, and the big tribes take the opportunity to annex the small tribes, so it is also a good thing that there are chiefs to return.

Our emperor felt that rewarding these surrenderers could encourage other tribal chieftains to come and take refuge, so that our Han Dynasty would be able to eat away at the Xiongnu without spending a single soldier, and would never be afraid of border troubles in the future. ”

Zhou Yafu didn't sit down, just stood with such a big thorn, rolled a pair of white eyes and squinted at Liu She, listened to him finish, and said disdainfully: "The old man also served as a border general back then, and he knows very well the fierceness and ferocity of the Hun iron cavalry. I'm afraid that the demon doesn't have such skills, I'm afraid that Taohou is exaggerating, right? The children killed some Huns with poisoning and other skills, and when they came back, they reported more deaths and coveted merit.

If the Xiongnu could be eaten away so easily, Li Guang would not have to run around the border passes, and he would have been the Taishou wherever there was a change, and he would have spent 20 years protecting the border passes. (To be continued......)
