It is the end of September, the seventh year of Yuande, and it is coming to an end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The atmosphere of Chang'an City has become more and more festive.

The streets and alleys are lit up in preparation for the New Year's celebrations.

Inside and outside the court, it is even more busy.

More than a dozen Chiyou opera troupes settled in the court and began to rehearse their programs.

The two queen mothers of the East Palace, in the past two years, have become fans of drama.

Especially the Empress Dowager, an old man, has a serious eye disease, and her eyesight is almost zero, and watching singing and dancing is simply unrealistic for her.

It's still good to play, just by listening, you can know the plot, and you can know good and evil.

However, in these festive atmospheres, there are still some not-so-river crab sounds.

For example, some people have recently started to connect, and it is said that they want to come to a thousand-person petition to stay Zhou Yafu and serve as prime minister for another term.

The reason is also very great.

Because, Zhou Yafu is a good official!

A good official should stay and continue to contribute to the world, is it a bit too much to retire so early?

The noise of these guys is not bad, and even Donggong has asked about this matter.

The two queen mothers, after all, are women, their ears are soft, and they are fooled, and they feel that they should really let Zhou Yafu work for another term, and it is even better to work for a lifetime like Xiao He and Cao Shen.

At present, what is Zhou Yafu's attitude, Liu Che is still unclear.

But his disciples and protégés are already gearing up, preparing to give Lao Shuai another four years.

And the closer you get to the New Year, the more eerie the atmosphere becomes.

In this regard, Liu Che's attitude is: Look at him jumping, jumping high, he will always stumble.

So, this matter is put aside for the time being.

Of course, in order to prevent Zhou Yafu from also having the illusion that 'I seem to be able to work for another four years', some time ago, Liu Che issued an edict to ask Zongzheng Liu Jing to draft an edict of commendation and praise after Zhou Yafu's speech.

Liu Che believes that with Zhou Yafu's political wisdom, he will not be blind to this matter.

It's Chao Mistake, in recent days, he has been running around, taking Dou Ying everywhere, and actually let him win almost all the special veterans of the current Han family.

It can only be said that the people of the Legalist family, once they start to play with power, it is simply terrifying!

With the support of all the veterans of the special advancement, in fact, Chao Cuo has already obtained a pass to the throne of the prime minister.

Because the veterans of the special advancement are basically all the veterans of the army and the sacrificial wine of Wuyuan, they are enough to influence the attitude of the military.

The endorsement of the army is very important in today's Han politics.

Without the endorsement of the military, the prime minister's order, whether he can go out of the royal road is a problem.

But, none of these things matter right now.

Because, Liu Che has more important things to deal with.

Just three days ago, Yuan Hui, the warden of Hanzhong County, reported that an envoy came from the southwest, claiming to be the envoy of the King of Yu, the King of Yelang, and the King of Dian who wanted to go to Chang'an to worship the Son of Heaven.

In other words, the Southwest Yi countries finally couldn't bear to be oppressed and sm by Liu Che's two old fathers-in-law.

They would rather take this risk, travel through the entire Shu County, and run to Hanzhong to raise the banner again.

In fact, Liu Che had to respond positively.

Should these missions be allowed to enter Chang'an?

Liu Che was distressed.

You are right, that means that the southwestern kingdoms have since been included in the traditional Chinese tributary system.

The Han dynasty would become the suzerainty of each country, and the Han dynasty's legitimate rule over the Southwest Yi region was clarified.

This is tantamount to announcing the end of the tricks that the two old men have been playing in the southwest Yi countries in the past eight years, and the Han family will lose a stable source of cheap labor.

But you don't want to......

One is contrary to traditional etiquette and morality.

Confucius said, there are friends from afar, and they are happy.

Besides, this family is crying and shouting that they want to come to be a vassal state.

To reject them is to unequivocally declare the death of the tributary system.

From then on, the Han family would only want to conquer, and never surrender again.

This head is not easy to open!

Moreover, in fact, to be reasonable, the people of the Southwest Yi countries are actually related to the Zhuxia nation.

Like the Dian Kingdom, the descendants of the Chu Kingdom, the Yelang and the Yu Kingdom, there is Ba blood.

It's not right to bully people like this.

Besides, in fact, the oil and water of the southwestern Yi countries are almost squeezed.

If the persecution continues, I'm afraid that people will have to fight hard, even if the fish dies and the net is broken, it will give the Han family a little bit of power.

Fighting on two fronts is a big taboo!

Don't you see, even the Midi Mao Bear has been in tears by the double-front battle pit?

Therefore, after thinking about it again, Liu Che still approved the request of this mission to enter the court.

Let the great Honglu Gongsun Kunxie go to receive these friends from afar, and listen to them pour bitter water by the way.

In this way, the prosperity of Linqiong's smelting industry came to an end.

Unless Zhuo Wangsun and Cheng Zhengying can open up the road to India, otherwise, the slave labor in their hands now may be the cheap slave labor they can find in the end.

However, these two old men still have a sense of distress, and they sent someone to Jiaozhi a few years ago to open a copy of Jiaozhi, and last year they went to Shunde, planning to open a branch in Munan.

In addition to this matter, another thing that killed Liu Che's brain cells in large quantities was undoubtedly the problem of his dear brother, Liu Rong, the king of Huainan.

This year, according to the regulations of the ancestral system, when Liu Rongchao invited Chang'an.

Whether Liu Che wants to see his eldest brother or not, or whether Liu Rong is willing to come to Chang'an to kneel down and say goodbye to Liu Che.

It is impossible for the two to get together again.

But here's the problem......

How to deal with, or how to treat this brother?

What kind of etiquette do you greet? Where did he settle when he arrived? Do you want to allow him to go to the Deyang Palace to worship the first emperor?

These are troublesome things.

What's even worse is that Liu Fei, the king of Meng, Liu Yan, the king of Jiangdu, and even Liu Duan, the king of Lu, have already spoken: The brother of my generation in Huainan should not serve the temple of the first emperor!

This court soap opera was finally turned into a Shakespearean play.

Liu Che could only face this situation with great embarrassment.

What Liu Rong did in Huainan was thanks to Liu Fei's big mouth, and now, not to mention Liu Che's brothers, even the ordinary people of Chang'an City also know that the old Liu family is unfortunate and has a bad son, and he actually disobeyed his father and occupied his temple.

The government and the opposition are even more discussed.

Those ministers and even the elders who claimed to be loyal ministers of the former emperor were even more indignant, jumping to their feet one by one, shouting, 'If you don't kill Huainan, it's not enough to thank the world'.

But here's the problem......

Liu Che knew that everyone was just acting.

He really wants to kill Liu Rong, and guarantees that the Xuanshu Palace will kneel down full of ministers, maybe the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will protect Liu Rong to the death.

No way, that's the essence of Chinese politics.

As an emperor, as a man of heaven, he is not only the supreme ruler of the country, but also the head of all families in the world.

For parents, Chinese are very demanding.

First of all, you have to be strict, then you have to be loving, and then you have to be able to feed a large family.

As a parent of the whole world, it is even more necessary to set an example for the people of the world.

Filial piety is a must.

Brothers, friends and brothers are even more essential elements.

"Alas......" Thinking about this, Liu Che had a terrible headache.

He even thought about whether he would simply send someone to poison Liu Rongde to death.

But after thinking about it, this plan was abandoned. Because of the poisoning of my brother, once someone finds clues, the consequences are unimaginable.

And how powerful is the gossip party of the Han family? Liu Cheqing knows very well that these guys are very powerful.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.

There is no way, Liu Che can only let people be on the road first, blocking Liu Rong's speed of entering Beijing, it is best to let him drag on the road through the first month of next year, so that Liu Fei, the king of Meng, Liu Yan, the king of Jiangdu, and others will all return to China.

Without these younger brothers who swore that 'they would destroy their relatives with righteousness', Liu Rong would not have been beaten up and swollen after entering Beijing.

But it's a pity that Liu Che was once again kind enough to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by Liu Rong.

Instead of slowing down on the road as Liu Che asked, Liu Rong ordered the convoy to speed up.

From Huainan to Guanzhong, there is not much far.

At Liu Rong's current speed, he will be able to arrive in Chang'an by the first day of winter and October at the latest.

When the time comes......

Liu Rong rubbed his temples......

Decades after the founding of the Han Empire, is it going to stage the first roommate, brothers fighting each other?

And it was in front of the officials of the county and the envoys of the subject countries in the world?

If it happens, it's hilarious.
