Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of the first year again.

The thirteenth year of the Han Dynasty is about to come to an end, which also indicates that the Han Dynasty is about to usher in a new era.

- Liu Ying, the son of heaven, is about to turn seventeen!

According to the edict of the former emperor Liu Bang, this year will be the year when the young son of heaven will be crowned as an adult and married and pro-government.

In this regard, the princes of the Liu clan in Kanto were calm.

Even if he knew that this year's Yuanshuo Dynasty Ceremony would finalize Liu Ying's crown and pro-government, the princes of the Kwantung clan were not invited to Chang'an to meet him.

The reason is simple: according to the ritual system, the crowning ceremony of men should be performed at the beginning of spring.

Therefore, even if there is no definite news, the princes of the Liu clan also understand that the coronation ceremony of Liu Ying, the son of heaven, will be held in the spring of next year;

The wedding after the crown ceremony will be next summer.

In this way, the Son of Heaven Liu Ying will be crowned and married, and then he will be in power, how can it be around the autumn of next year.

However, after receiving the news from the Central Plains, the internal feudal domains such as Changsha and Nanyue, as well as several foreign feudal domains on the Korean Peninsula, sent envoys to congratulate them.

For the envoy of Changsha State, that is, the crown prince Wu Hui, the Chang'an court heard what he said, and Liu Ying, the son of heaven, also expressed his condolences.

——In just eight years after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the lineage of the king of Changsha is about to be passed on to the third generation.

Wu Rui, the first king of Changsha, died of illness the following year after the establishment of the Han dynasty;

and the second king Wu Chen, who also played Chang'an at the beginning of spring this year, saying that he was about to die, hoping that the court would allow the crown prince Wu Hui to inherit the throne of Changsha after his death.

Therefore, this time, the Changsha State sent the crown prince Wu Hui, nominally to congratulate, but in fact, it was to let the soon-to-be-succeeded crown prince Wu Hui be recognized by the Han family, so as to obtain the name of righteousness.

In this regard, Liu Ying said happily: It should be like this.

Because today, Zhao Tuo of Nanyue still holds most of the land of Lingnan Baiyue, and the Changsha Kingdom of the Wu family still has the need to exist.

But what makes Liu Ying a little embarrassed is that according to the memory of Liu Ying's previous life, Wu Hui, the crown prince who entered the Hajj this time, will only sit in the position of the king of Changsha for just six years.

Six years later, the king of Changsha will pass to the hands of the fourth king of Changsha: Wu You······

There is one more thing that Liu Ying doesn't know.

——According to the course of history, even the fourth king of Changsha, Wu You, only served as the king of Changsha for eight years, and passed the throne to the fifth Wu Shu.

When the fifth Changsha King Wu Shu succeeded to the throne, Lu Pheasant, the queen of Henkel who belonged to the 'same age' as the first Changsha King Wu Rui, died of illness less than two years ago;

Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, who was only one year younger than Wu Rui, lived to the extinct heir of the fifth king of Changsha, Wu Zhuxu, and the Changsha Kingdom was turned into a prince of the clan, and they were all still 'in the prime of life'·······

Liu Hansheji has only been passed on to the second generation, and the second Liu Ying has just become an adult, and the Wu Rui lineage, who 'started' almost at the same time, has already been passed on to the third generation, which obviously makes people who hear about it sympathetic.

Considering the tragic fate of the king of Changsha and the necessity of the existence of the 'Han-Vietnam strategic buffer' of Changsha, Liu Ying also promised early: after the great court, he would ask the empress dowager to issue another edict to recognize the crown prince status of the crown prince Wu Hui, and send elite soldiers to escort Wu Hui back to Changsha, preparing to succeed the king of Changsha.

But for the South Vietnamese envoys who came to meet at the same time, Liu Ying didn't have a good face.

Almost at the same time as the arrival of the South Vietnamese envoy, Liu Ying, the Son of Heaven, summoned the South Vietnamese envoy into the palace, and in front of the courtiers and hundreds of officials, reprimanded Zhao Tuo, the king of South Vietnam, for his rebellion and ill intentions!

As early as last year, when the former emperor Liu Bang died, Wu Chen, the king of Changsha, sent back a report: I heard that Liu Bang died, and Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, once again proclaimed himself emperor in Panyu, the capital of Nanyue!

As for why it is said 'again', it has to talk about how the Nanyue Kingdom under the control of Zhao Tuo came about.

- In the twenty-eighth year of Qin Shi Huang, the world was unified, and the mainland of Shenzhou was all returned to Qin;

After unifying the countries of the Central Plains, the first emperor Yingzheng, who was aiming for the universe, set his eyes on the surroundings.

To the north, the First Emperor sent the general Meng Tian to lead hundreds of thousands of troops on the Great Wall of Qin, using the Great Wall as the starting point of the attack and marching towards the northern grasslands;

To the west, Ying Zheng summoned the people of the six countries, regardless of the intricate geographical environment of the southwest, and built a five-foot road between the thousands of miles of poor mountains and bad waters!

To the east, even though the First Emperor was helpless against the boundless sea, he still sent Xu Fu to lead the immortal search fleet;

To the south, Tu Sui was the main general and Zhao Tuo was the deputy general, leading a total of 500,000 Great Qin Ruishi to pacify the land of Lingnan.

In the north, the general Meng Tian was invincible, and the Qin Great Wall army was invincible, so shocked that the grassland people fled when they saw the black dragon flag, and they didn't dare to pull their bows at all, or even dare to 'go south to herd horses';

In the tropical jungle of the southwest, with the five-foot road stained with the blood, sweat, and bones of immigrants from the six countries, the Qin court achieved unprecedented initial control of the southwest region, and introduced Yelang, Yunnan and other southwestern countries as Qin's foreign vassals;

But in the east and south directions, the first emperor suffered one setback after another.

- Xu Fu, who was ordered to go to the East China Sea, did not bring back the elixir for the first emperor Yingzheng, but registered on the west bank of the Wa Kingdom and became the ancestor of Xiaori;

The army that was ordered to conquer Lingnan did not quickly conquer this land.

After three years of hard fighting, Qin's southern army was repeatedly frustrated, and Tu Sui, the main general with the same name as Meng Tian, unfortunately died in Lingnan;

Realizing the complicated situation in Lingnan and unable to conquer it by force in a short period of time, the first emperor Yingzheng immediately ordered: to set up Nanhai County in Panyu (now Guangzhou), with jurisdiction over Panyu, Boluo, Sihui, and Longchuan counties, and the Qin general was appointed as the governor of Nanhai.

And the current king of Nanyue, Zhao Tuo, was under the command of the governor of Qin Nanhai at that time and served as the commander of Longchuan County.

Sure enough, as the first emperor expected: after the Qin army was unusual, and the military conquest was Huairou Wenzhi, the originally stagnant plan of 'conquering Lingnan' began to advance in an orderly manner.

Especially after Longchuan ordered Zhao Tuo to implement the policy of resting troops and raising farms, and promoting the marriage between the soldiers of the Qin army under his command and the local people, Qin's control over the land of Lingnan was gradually stabilized.

But it's a pity that just five years after 'Nanhai County' was included in the territory of Yingqin, the first emperor Yingzheng, who could not wait for Xu Fu, finally died in the sand dunes;

After the second emperor's succession, the Qin court's logistics and transportation to Lingnan came to a sharp standstill, and the Central Plains blood transfusion was lost, and the 'civilization' work of Nanhai County in Lingnan suddenly came to a standstill.

Soon after, the world was in flames of war, and the governor of the South China Sea was unable to go north to support the Qin court, so he couldn't afford to fall ill.

When he was dying, Ren Huan ordered: Zhao Tuo was ordered by Longchuan to take over the post of governor of the South China Sea, and suggested that Zhao Tuo should destroy the road and cross the south in the Central Plains, so as not to be affected by the war.

After Ren Huan's death, Zhao Tuo also complied with Ren Huan's last wish, destroyed all the communication arteries between the Central Plains and Lingnan, and turned his attention to the unification of the land of Lingnan.

In the history books, later generations can only see the first year of the Han Dynasty, which is the year when the third son was beheaded in Xianyang City, Ying Qin was declared extinct, and Liu Bang, Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, was named the king of Han;

But what few people notice is that in the same year, Zhao Tuo, the new governor of Qin Nanhai, raised troops in Lingnan, annexed Guilin and Xiangjun two counties, and took Nanhai County to govern Panyu as the royal capital, and established himself as: King Wu of Nanyue.

The next few years were the period of the Chu and Han hegemony in the Central Plains, and it was also the period when Zhao Tuo, the 'Martial King of Nanyue', expanded his territory and further controlled Lingnan.

In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, the overlord Xiang Yu killed the Wujiang River, the Han family was established, and the world was one;

Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, became Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty; Zhao Tuo, the former martial king of Nanyue, has already been in Panyu, the country of Nanyue, and established himself as the martial emperor of Nanyue.

For Zhao Tuo, the 'remnant of the former Qin', and the separatist regime of South Vietnam, the Han family naturally could not tolerate it, but because it had not yet been unified internally, it could only be put on hold for the time being;

Three years ago, Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty finally completed the complete unification of the Han family before his death, but he had no spare strength to conquer South Vietnam, so he sent an envoy south to negotiate peace with Zhao Tuo.

In the end, under the kind words and persuasion of the Han envoy Lu Jia, Zhao Tuo finally agreed: go to the emperor, recognize the Han family as the suzerainty of Nanyue, and invite himself to be a foreign vassal;

In exchange, the Han family also agreed that Zhao Tuo would retain the prince, and that Zhao Tuo would still rule the Nanyue Kingdom, and give Zhao Tuo the king of Nanyue and seals.

As events progressed, South Vietnam should gradually complete the transformation of the secession regime, the outer domain, the internal domain, and the clan vassal states, and finally be included in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

But it is the same as the memory of Liu Ying's previous life: before Liu Bang's death, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, who had just promised to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, turned his face after Liu Bang's death and blatantly proclaimed himself emperor in Panyu again!

Although Liu Ying also knew in his heart that whether it was due to geographical or political considerations, the situation in South Vietnam was very similar to that of the treasure islands of later generations: unification by force was not the most cost-effective option, nor was it a necessary plan.

But even if he had a clear understanding of this and clearly knew that in this life, the Han court still wanted to send Lu Jia to go again and let Zhao Tuo go to the emperor's name, Liu Ying still couldn't bear the anger in his heart.

- The old man is only willing to promise you, and when the old man dies, you will brazenly claim the emperor?

Isn't this bullying honest people!!

Therefore, Liu Ying did not press the anger in her chest at all, but vented all her dissatisfaction with Zhao Tuo on the South Vietnamese envoy.

Because Liu Ying knows: In this matter, anyone can back down, but Liu Ying can't.

Guy is not allowed to have two tigers in one mountain, and under one sky, there is no room for a second 'emperor'.

Zhao Tuo is the emperor in Lingnan, if Liu Ying can still talk and laugh, it is not normal!

Sure enough, after Liu Ying showed with his teeth and claws that 'Zhao Tuo was not playing lanterns in the latrine', the South Vietnamese envoy bent his knees almost at the speed of light;

And said vaguely: Oh, the king of my family also regrets this, so he sent me here this time to discuss with His Majesty, how to solve this matter······

Hearing this, Liu Ying also knew the truth that the extremes of things must be opposed, and threw down a few cruel words on the spot, such as "make the king good for himself" and "once the army arrives, it will become powder", and then brushed his sleeves and left.

In the afternoon of the same day, Changle Palace also released a rumor, clearly warning the South Vietnamese envoys: In this matter, the Han family has no room for concession!

Zhao Tuo must go to the emperor's name, and he must go to the table again to ask the ministers!!

At this point, the South Vietnamese envoy finally stood up and said that he "couldn't sit on the throne";

The Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant also pushed the boat down the river, and asked the messenger to leave immediately, go back to ask Zhao Tuo, and took the return visit of the Han family: Lu Jia.

At this point, Zhao Tuo's claim to be emperor is basically settled.

If nothing else, when Lu Jia goes to persuade him, Zhao Tuo will go to the emperor again and ask for ministers, saying that Nanyue 'has been loyal to the Han Dynasty for generations'.

As a reward, the Han family would also give some symbolic items, such as a sword and a horse of Shu brocade, to reward Zhao Tuo for 'understanding the righteousness'.

Seeing off the South Vietnamese envoy and the Han envoy Lu Jia, the young son of heaven Liu Ying also calmed down a little.

Looking back on this farce, Liu Ying also realized: Zhao Tuo's claim to be emperor this time is not so much 'ambitious' as a temptation.

Just as Liu Ying just succeeded to the throne, the Huns sent the letter of state to humiliate the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant.

It's just that Zhao Tuo, who was in a predicament in Lingnan, obviously did not have the confidence to directly humiliate the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant like the Xiongnu Shan Maodun, so he tested the attitude of the new monarch Liu Ying towards South Vietnam by calling him the emperor.

If Liu Ying shows the cowardly performance of 'please don't be the emperor', then Zhao Tuo will smile happily, and then start preparing to go north to the Central Plains and recover Great Qin;

If Liu Ying said that 'if it is difficult, then don't do it', Zhao Tuo would have to recruit troops and prepare to deal with the Han army's southward march and troops to Wuling;

And Liu Ying's performance is the most normal and the most acceptable to both parties.

- Liu Ying did not weakly say, 'As long as you don't call yourself emperor, you can do anything', nor did she say too strongly, 'I'll beat you to death';

In this way, the face of the center of the Han family was gained, and the prestige of the Han monarch was also preserved to the greatest extent;

On the other hand, Zhao Tuo's side does not need to raise swords and soldiers for this reason, he only needs to kneel on the ground and call himself a minister, and this matter can be turned over.

But this is not to say that there is no meaning.

After this incident, the status of the word 'Nanyue' in the heart of Liu Ying, the son of heaven, was slightly improved.

This is not to say that Liu Ying thinks that South Vietnam is more awesome, but that the priority of solving South Vietnam is higher than in the past.

As for the Han court and the hundreds of officials in the court, there is also a perception that 'the affairs of South Vietnam need to be more cautious'.

As for Zhao Tuo, he also took this opportunity to test the content he least wanted to see.

- Xinjun Liu Ying, is not a soft persimmon who is easy to fool.

The departure of the South Vietnamese mission before the Great Hajlo Ceremony was regarded as a temporary end to the South Vietnamese affair;

But at the end of autumn and August, the entire court was busy with the time node of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Liu Ying, the son of heaven, once again convened the ministers of the court and the central government to discuss matters in the Changxin Hall of Changle Palace.

Regarding the content of the discussion, Liu Ying, the son of heaven, did not hide it.

- North Korea.

To be precise, it is the Korean Peninsula that has changed dramatically over the past few years······
