Lu Jia followed the confessor through the huge garden, there were many rockeries and tree trunks in the garden, and a golden monkey suddenly jumped out of the rockery, staring at Lu Jia with round eyes, as if he had seen a strange guest and became timid. 'Squeak squeak-', more monkeys sprang out from behind the rockery, or squatted in front of the cave, or jumped on the trunk of the tree, all staring at Lu Jia with round eyes, and from time to time making a 'squeak' sound as if talking to their companions. Lu Jia saw that so many monkeys were actually kept in the garden, and they were all clever and cute, so he blew a loud whistle at those monkeys as usual, but he scared the monkeys away at once, and they hid back in the rockery and carefully poked their heads out to 'reconnoitre' the enemy. Lu Jia smiled and followed the confessor straight to the palace of Nanyue.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw that both sides of the palace were full of civil and military ministers, all of whom looked at Lu Jia arrogantly and seriously, Lu Jia bowed his hand to the left and right civil and military forces, but then saw a man sitting on the king's couch wearing a luxurious royal robe, and combing a bun like an awl, like a dustpan and sitting on the king's couch with his legs stretched out and looking at Lu Jia majestically. Lu Jia arrived in front of Zhao Tuo without panic and calmness, and solemnly waved his hand, but did not bow, "Servant Lu Jia has seen Zhao Gong." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Tuo to speak, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs immediately stepped forward to accuse Lu Jia as if he was in a pot, "Lonely and unheard, my king has ruled Nanyue for several years, and he has a hundred Yue, and he has good governance, everyone respectfully calls him the king of Nanyue, why do you call my king Zhao Gong?" ”

Lu Jia turned around and smiled at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs slightly, then turned to look at Zhao Tuo on the high couch, Zhao Tuo also had a black face, and stroked a handful of beard to Lu Jia with displeasure. Lu Jia took a step forward, without losing the demeanor of the Central Plains state, and opened his voice to confront Zhao Tuo and his ministers of civil and military affairs, "The world is one, and there are no two masters." The co-lord of the world should be the emperor today, the emperor will give the three counties of Lingnan to the king of Changsha, although you do not have the name of the king but the truth of the king, occupy the three counties of Lingnan and do not return, and repeatedly invade Changsha and other places, only this, the emperor can send troops to South Vietnam. At the beginning, the emperor fought fiercely and did not kill you, but you took advantage of this to call the king of Nanyue, and wanted to build an independent kingdom, do you think the emperor would not dare to kill you? ”

"Hahaha-" Zhao Tuo suddenly burst out laughing, shaking the temple as if shaking, and Qi Er covered his face again, pointing directly at Lu Jia under the stage and said majestically, "Is the world unified?" There are Xiongnu in the north, Korea in the east, Yelang and Mimo in the west, and I Nanyue in the south, how do you say that the world is one? I have already annexed the three counties of Lingnan, and I am the master here, how can the emperor of the Central Plains privately seal my land to the arrogant Changsha State? Don't say that the widow is arrogant, the 300,000 troops of the Central Plains Emperor were surrounded by Bai Mountaineering and could not come out for seven days, which was really a loss of the emperor's face. The Huns can't be expelled, isn't it difficult to think about my three mountains and five mountains to attack me? ”

The ministers of civil and military affairs of South Vietnam were all pleased with Zhao Tuo's words, and all of them had an arrogant demeanor. Lu Jia smiled calmly and calmly, and said, "Since ancient times, Zhuxia has been intimate and contemptuous of barbarians, the world is the world of the Central Plains, and the unification of the Central Plains means that the world is one." The Xiongnu, Korean, Yelang, and Mimo tribes you just said are all barbarians, and you want to be called together with the Central Plains, isn't it too exalting them? If you remember correctly, the ancestors of Zhao Gong and you yourself were originally from the Central Plains, why did you exalt the barbarians and belittle yourself? I heard that King Wen was detained, Duke Huan was killed by Guan Zhong's arrow, Duke Wen was exiled for 19 years, this is a saint and is not exempt from suffering, the emperor was trapped for only seven days and returned to China safely, and the country is under great rule, isn't it even more a saint? This is a sign of a great mission from heaven, what did Zhao Gong say? ”

Lu Jia's words were silent in the hall, and the South Vietnamese Minister of Civil and Military Affairs looked at each other but was carefree, and still went out to confront Lu Jia's gushing speech. Zhao Tuo also stroked his beard and was silent, just looked at the emperor's decree and the gorgeous seal ribbon presented by Lu Jia, "Ahem-", Zhao Tuo cleared his throat, eased the atmosphere and said to Lu Jia quietly and majesticly, "Lu Gong is good at arguing and talented, and few people can't admit it." I have already read Liu Bang's edict, and the writing is good, but it must not have been written by him. However, the widow is already a king, so why use him to seal it? Does he not mean that the widow condescends to him? If Duke Lu likes Nanyue, he will play here for a few months, and don't mention the matter of being crowned king again. As soon as the words fell, Zhao Tuo got up and left.

"People from the Central Plains, I heard that your relatives and Kundi are all in Zhending, and now they are against the original nature of China, abandoning the crown belt, and wanting to compete with the vast Central Plains, contend with the Son of Heaven and become an enemy country, I am afraid that disasters will entangle you." Lu Jia hurriedly said seriously, "Qin lost his power, and the heroes rose up, but the king of Han entered the customs first, according to Xianyang." Xiang Ji broke the contract, and he was the overlord of Western Chu, and all the princes belonged to it, which can be described as the strongest. However, the king of Han raised Bashu, whipped the world, plundered the princes, and exterminated the Xiang family. In the past five years, the sea has been pacified, which is not manpower, but what the sky has built. The emperor heard that the king of Nanyue did not help the world to punish the rebellion, and the Han family and the military all wanted to put on armor to crusade against the monarch's family, but the emperor took pity on the people's labor, so he took a break, do you really think that the emperor would not dare to attack Nanyue? The emperor is for the sake of the people of the two places, if the monarch insists on not complying, the emperor will lead a large army to come, and here it is like a big fish swallowing a small fish. Now the emperor sent his ministers here to grant the king's seal and dissect the envoy. The Jun family should be thirty miles away from each other and the north is a vassal, but you want to build a new South Vietnam, and it is not the South Vietnam that everyone is united in this place. If the emperor knows and Long Yan is angry, he will dig up your ancestral grave, destroy your clan, and send another fierce general to lead 100,000 troops to attack South Vietnam. The servant's words are true, and the Wangjun family thinks twice. After Lu Jia finished speaking, he stood up with his head held high and stood in place without losing the majesty of Shangbang. His words shocked Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, and his ministers were speechless for a long time, and they all stared at Lu Jia, but they didn't know what to say to fight back.

"Hahaha-" Zhao Tuo laughed again, broke the stiff atmosphere, got up and walked down the steps to Lu Jia's side, but also learned Lu Jia's Central Plains etiquette and gave Lu Jia a little stroke, "Really talented." The widow has lived here for a long time, and he has lost his manners, so don't blame Lu Gong. Zhao Tuo stroked his back and said, "The widow has long heard that Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Han Xin have lived here for a long time and have never seen them, I don't know who is more talented in the eyes of Lu Gong?" Lu Jia catered to Zhao Tuo without hesitation, and replied, "The Jun family seems to be more virtuous than them. Zhao Tuo smiled, waved off the minister of civil and military affairs with one hand, and pulled Lu Jia straight into the inner hall, the two sat on the mat, the servant stepped forward and poured two jue of wine, Zhao Tuo first asked Lu Jia to drink it all, Lu Jia couldn't refuse, so he had to drink it, the wine just entered the throat and felt the instant bitterness, but when he drank it in his stomach, he felt that there was a lingering fragrance in his mouth, Lu Jia stuck out his tongue and said it was spicy, but Zhao Tuo laughed, "Lu Gong is not used to drinking this bar?" This wine is strong and spicy, but when you drink it, it leaves a lingering aroma in your mouth, right? "Yes, yes, it's really spicy." Lu Jiala's direct name is.

"The widow has stayed here since the Qin period, although he has heard of Liu Bangwei's name, but he has never seen him, I don't know what Lu Gong thinks, the widow and Liu Bang are virtuous?" Zhao Tuo asked Lu Jia with a smile. Lu Jia put down the wine lord and praised Liu Bang seriously, "Your Majesty is abundant, punishes the tyrannical Qin, exterminates the Xiang nationality, grants benefits to the world, and inherits the grand cause of the three emperors and five emperors to rule the Central Plains." Hundreds of millions of people in the Central Plains, thousands of miles, living in the rich region of the world, many people and cars, rich in products, the decree from the Son of Heaven alone, since the opening of the world has not had such a grand occasion. The Jun family has hundreds of thousands of people, and they are not in nature, and they live in such a narrow area, and they are only a small county of the Han family. How can the Jun family compare with the emperor. ”

"Hahaha-" Zhao Tuo laughed again, but he didn't admit defeat, "The widow failed to start in the Central Plains, but took advantage of the rebellion at the end of the Qin Dynasty to claim the king here, if the widow occupies the Central Plains, how can it not be compared to the King of Han?" Lu Jia was stunned, and said that this Zhao Tuo is also not lacking in vanity, he took advantage of the Chu-Han War to annex the three counties of Lingnan, which is really virtuous, if Zhao Tuo is really in the Central Plains, it may not be Liu Bang who is the emperor at this time. Lu Jia gasped, half in favor and half in favor of Zhao Tuo, "What the Jun family said is true. Taking this opportunity, Lu Jia asked Zhao Tuo solemnly, "I don't know if it belongs to the Han family in the Central Plains, what does the Jun family think?" Zhao Tuo immediately smiled, scratched his forehead and said confusedly, "Lu Gong is drinking, so I won't talk about this matter today." After that, Zhao Tuoqiang poured a handful of wine for Lu Jia and asked Lu Jia to drink this cup, Lu Jia couldn't refuse, and after drinking several glasses in a row, he couldn't support the drunk and fell on the case, and Zhao Tuo couldn't wake up.

The next day, the sun was excellent, shining warmly in front of the window of Lu Jia's post house, and the birds and flowers outside the window were fragrant, feeling very quiet. 'Squeak-', Lu Jia's door opened, and an accompanying servant came in, brought a bowl of hot water to the case in front of Lu Jia's bed, and called Lu Jia, Lu Jia woke up in a daze, suddenly felt a terrible headache, and asked the servant, "Ah Tong, I have a headache." Yesterday I was drinking at Zhao Gong's, but I don't know how to get home. Ah Tong chuckled and brought hot water to Lu Jia, "Drink it quickly." It was the king of Nanyue who sent people to send you back, and sent a lot of jewelry and jade. Lu Gong rested for a few days, I think Zhao Tuo will definitely belong to the Han Dynasty. Lu Jia took a few sips of water and said with a smile, "How do you know?" Ah Tong giggled again, "I know." Lu Jia muttered to himself, "I also think he will belong to the Han Dynasty." ”

On the fourth or fifth day, Zhao Tuo sent people to the post house every day to pick up Lu Jia into the palace and talk about the Central Plains. On this day, Lu Jia asked Zhao Tuo about Zhao Tuo's belonging to the Han Dynasty, and Zhao Tuo was silent for a while and said to Lu Jia with a solemn face, "The widow has discussed with the courtiers and agreed to belong to the Han Dynasty, and the widow's civil and military ministers do not agree to it one by one, but fortunately, the widow is the king and disdains to take care of them." Speaking of this, Zhao Tuo sighed, "Since I came to South Vietnam, I have gradually forgotten the appearance of the Central Plains, the loneliness of the widow, and no one in South Vietnam can talk to the widow so freely." After Lu Gong came, he heard many things in the Central Plains that he had never known before, and he was very happy. The widow can belong to the Han Dynasty, why didn't Lu Gong stay here to accompany the widow? Lu Jia's eyes lit up, he was stunned for a long time, and hurriedly declined Zhao Tuo's kindness, "Lu Jia is favored by the king, and the style of South Vietnam is solid, but the ministers will eventually return to His Majesty's ministers, and they really dare not make the decision to stay in Nanyue, and I hope the king will forgive me." "You have finally called the widow king." Zhao Tuo smiled and said, "Don't be a widow, Lu Gong is virtuous, how can the emperor be willing to leave you to a widow?" Tomorrow, the widow will receive the emperor's edict, okay? Lu Jia was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and bowed to Zhao Tuo again, "King Shengming." Zhao Tuo helped Lu Jia up, "Belonging to the Han Dynasty, the widow feels close." ”

The next day, Zhao Tuo accepted Liu Bang's gift of enthronement in the palace, and the prison was all possessed, the flag hunting, the sound of the horn, and the soldiers guarding the sealed site, which was very magnificent. Lu Jia personally gave the seal and purple ribbon to Zhao Tuo, and read Liu Bang's edict to Zhao Tuo, and Zhao Tuo accepted the gift of the edict very pompously and majestically. From then on, the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains and Nanyue were envoys, and the north of Nanyue was called a vassal, and the Han Dynasty would import cattle, horses, sheep, waddling wine, rice, silk and iron tools to South Vietnam.

"Minister Zhao Tuo congratulates the emperor on a long and happy future-" Zhao Tuo led the ministers of civil and military affairs to congratulate Liu Bang in the Central Plains.
