Chapter 325: Son of Heaven: A Hundred Years Later...
Saying goodbye to a few 'old guys', even though Liu Sheng hadn't recovered from his stunned, he had to force himself to regain his mind and walk along the ridge to the side of the road with Tianziqi in his arms.
However, at a distance of one hundred and eighty steps, the Son of Heaven Qizi did not want to take a hard ride, so he was simply supported by Liu Sheng and strolled in the direction not far away.
After chatting like this, the father and son chatted from under the old tree until late that night······
"Back then, when the first emperor was seriously ill and dying, he had a chat with me like this."
"Now, although I haven't reached the point of 'dying', it is naturally best to be able to finish what I need to say while my spirit is still full······
···
"How?"
"Let's talk?"
Walking slowly in the field, hearing the tone of Tianziqi's pretended to be relaxed in his ears, Liu Sheng only nodded subconsciously.
And Tianzi Qi's next words finally made Liu Sheng understand: since Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang to the present, except for the four emperors before and after the two young emperors, why can they produce more than three levels, and even be called 'excellent' Ming Jun······
"Let's start with the last year of the Yuan Dynasty."
Just this sentence caused Liu Sheng's eyes to widen dumbfounded, and his already somewhat stunned mood only became blank in his mind.
- The last year of the Later Yuan!
What do you mean?
Translated into the vernacular that future generations can understand, it is 'the year before I died'.
And such a sentence - such a sentence - such a sentence 'from the year before my death', came from the mouth of a feudal emperor······
"In the last year of the Yuan Dynasty, there must be an undercurrent surging inside and outside the court;"
"Most of the ministers are uneasy, terrified by my physical condition—fearful of the turmoil that I will bring about by my death."
"So that year, you must not miss the opportunity."
"——Sending charcoal in the snow is always the easiest way to buy people's hearts."
"And in that year, when the government and the opposition were trembling, walking on thin ice, and feeling confused and afraid of the future, all the advantages and disadvantages shown by the prince would be infinitely magnified."
"If a mistake is made, there will be a great reaction inside and outside the government and the opposition, and even turmoil;"
"But if you do a good deed, it will be able to greatly calm the minds of the government and the opposition, and you can't help but move closer to the prince."
"This is the beginning of the transfer of imperial power."
"In other words: from the day I was bedridden, you have been a real and nameless son of heaven;"
"And I will become a sick 'Emperor'······"
···
"In that year, there will be many people who willingly or unintentionally stir up and divide my father and son;"
"I am seriously ill and dazed, and I may not be able to distinguish right from wrong, and I promise not to suspect you."
"At that time, what you have to do is weigh up."
"——We must not only ensure the smooth and smooth transfer of imperial power, but also ensure that we do not let the delirious I become suspicious."
"This is the ability."
"If you can do this well, you will be able to become a 'barely not too bad' Han Tianzi in the future."
"At least back then, that's what the first emperor said to me······"
Listening to Tianziqi's unprecedented confession, and even the indifference of talking about his death without taboo, Liu Sheng was only even more stunned;
As for Tianzi Qi, he was subconsciously supported by Liu Sheng, and walked up the long street outside the dormitory step by step.
As he walked, he continued: "That year, I could have been moody, and even imprisoned. ”
"At that time, you will have to think more."
"—some, I put them in prison because he deserved to die;"
"At this time, you have to put on a posture of 'the father's order is difficult to disobey' and 'the emperor's order is difficult to disobey', and sit back and watch me remove obstacles for you."
"—There are also some people who may not deserve to die, but who simply angered me, and were convicted and imprisoned."
"If that's the case, then you're going to have to get someone out of the way;"
"At the very least, I must save his life, wait for a hundred years, and then pardon him from prison."
"But there's one thing: you can't let me—let the old and deaf me know about these things."
"How to grasp this degree can be regarded as a test for you······"
···
"That year, the Huns in the north and Zhao Tuo in the south will definitely not settle down."
"Knowing that the emperor of my Han family is old and seriously ill, and the prince is young and weak, these jackals will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity."
"The Huns in the north are likely to knock on the side in a big way, or even cross the city without going down, and go deep into the hinterland of my Han family."
"But even so, you must not easily change the garrison of my Han family's army now."
"——Chao Cuo has a sentence that is very right: foreigners are the disease of the skin, and the princes are the disease of the lungs."
"It is better to be robbed and humiliated by foreigners than to fish in troubled waters by the princes of the Kanto region, intending to subvert the ······ of Sheji"
···
"As for Zhao Tuo in the south······"
"Hmm~"
"He would never dare to raise troops;"
"Especially after the Wu Chu Rebellion was pacified, no one in Lingnan would dare to lead troops across the Wuling Mountains to the north."
"To say that it is to break the sky, that is, to pull out his yellow house Zuoxu, to show his majesty in Lingnan, and then privately call himself 'Emperor Wu of South Vietnam' and so on."
"You have to endure the affairs of South Vietnam."
"But this forbearance is different from forbearance of the Huns."
"——Bear the burden of humiliation on the Xiongnu because the infantry of my Han family is indeed unable to defeat the cavalry of the Huns head-on, and whether my Han family has enough war horses and enough cavalry to compete with the Hun Hu cavalry;"
"So endure the Huns, in order to wait for the opportunity."
"And the forbearance of South Vietnam is not because the South Vietnamese army is as tricky as the cavalry of the Huns, but simply because the gains outweigh the losses and are unnecessary."
"The people of South Vietnam have destroyed their own borders, and industry and commerce are not prosperous;"
"The slash-and-burn farming of South Vietnam is not abundant."
"His pawns are all descendants of Qin's southern army, although they are also the descendants of Qin, but they have long lost the sharpness of their fathers and ancestors."
"In the final analysis: the reason why South Vietnam is still South Vietnam is just that Zhao Tuo suppressed the various tribes of the Yue people by virtue of the prestige accumulated over decades."
"Just wait for Zhao Tuo to die, and South Vietnam will no longer need to be feared by my Han family······"
When he said this, Tianzi Qi was already helped into the dormitory by Liu Sheng, and lay down lightly on the imperial couch.
It was not until this moment that Liu Sheng finally recovered from his previous stunned feeling and nodded thoughtfully.
Compared with the Xiongnu, South Vietnam is not a big problem or a hidden danger for today's Han family.
If the relationship between Han and Hungary is that one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, then South Vietnam under Zhao Tuo's rule is at best an annoying fly.
If you don't care about him, he will buzz and fly, and bite you at every turn, making you annoying and itchy, which is really disgusting;
But if you care, right?
I can't shoot it, I have to slap myself if I don't care, and I have to be dirty if I shoot it to death.
Therefore, Liu Sheng clearly understood: Tianzi Qi was right.
Compared with the Xiongnu, who were in a mess of internal governance, but could rule the steppe and unify the nomads with strong force, South Vietnam was really useless.
If you have to say that South Vietnam has any foundation for its existence, that is, in the chaotic era at the end of Qin, Qin Longchuan made Zhao Tuo wittily destroy the transportation arteries in and out of Lingnan, and realized the separation of facts;
After the anti-Qin rebel army overthrew Ying Qin and beheaded the third son, and then after the Chu and Han struggles for hegemony, the final winner of the 'Han Taizu Liu Bang' was decided, and Zhao Tuo, who was self-reliant in Lingnan, had already built the basic plate as solid.
Even later, Taizu Liu Bang inadvertently discovered: At the edge of the known world, there was a barbarian chieftain named Zhao Tuo who dared to claim the emperor, but there was nothing he could do about Zhao Tuo.
——In this generation, even Changsha is still an undeveloped tropical jungle!
As for South Vietnam, which is located further south across the five mountains from Changsha, not to mention how 'unsuitable for human habitation' is.
In addition, there are five mountains separated by a natural barrier for Zhao Tuo's South Vietnam, which makes a mere South Vietnam a tumor that has not been eradicated by the Han family for more than 50 years.
At the end of the day, it's just three words: no need.
It is really not cost-effective to send an army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 to vomit and diarrhea, get sick and die in the tropical jungle of the south, and cross Lingnan in order to destroy Zhao Tuo's tens of thousands of savage soldiers.
With that kind of effort, sending the same 100,000 or 200,000 troops to the north is enough to fight with the Huns in an open fight.
Anyway, Zhao Tuo is at best, that is, from time to time to call himself an emperor and sit in a yellow house to brush his sense of existence, which is purely disgusting, but he can't cause substantial harm to the Han family at all;
Moreover, there is Tianziqi's sentence 'As soon as Zhao Tuo dies, South Vietnam will no longer be a hidden danger', which is not just as simple as the literal meaning······
"Father is ······"
"The grandson of the king of Nanyue: Zhao Hu?"
With a soft word, I saw the Son of Heaven nodding with a smile.
"Alas~"
"Zhao Tuo, an old immortal, made the Qin Longchuan Order not long after Qin Wangzheng swept away the Six Kingdoms;"
"From the conquest of Lingnan by the Qin Dynasty, to the change of the sand dunes, the second emperor was established;"
"From the third generation of children who were cut off and abandoned in the city, to the Xiang Ji self-slaughtered Wujiang;"
"Then go through the seventh year of Emperor Taizu Gao, the eighth year of Emperor Xiaohui, the eighth year of Empress Dowager Lu, the twenty-seventh year of Emperor Xian, and the seven years of me."
"-After all, Zhao Tuo's old immortal should be over ninety years old, right?"
"Hey ······"
"According to the news from the spies, this old immortal is afraid that he can live to be more than a hundred years old."
"Maybe if I die, I can still boil you kid to the age of gray sideburns?"
···
"Zhao Tuo lived for more than ninety, and the crown prince Zhao Zhongshi died of old age more than ten years ago, at the age of sixty or seventy."
"Today's grandson Zhao Hu is also over 30 years old, and he has been in Chang'an since he was a child, and he is righteous by the great Confucian Fu of Ludi with poetry and books;"
"After Zhao Tuo's death, Zhao Hu will definitely return to Nanyue to take the throne;"
"And Zhao Hu's wife who stayed in Chang'an is the king and queen mother of Nanyue after Zhao Hu······"
"These things are what my Han family has been doing since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao."
"——Borrowing the proton to succeed to the throne, and solving the problem of South Vietnam without bloodshed."
"In the future, you should also be more attentive."
"From time to time, I will bring the protons of Nanyue, Minyue and other foreign vassals to talk and chat."
"Every time I say more, maybe I can make my Han family lose one less soldier who is good at fighting······"
Hearing Tianzi Qi say this, Liu Sheng has completely recovered from his previous stunned and completely focused on the present;
But it is precisely because of this that after hearing that Tianzi Qi was extremely indifferent again, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, rather than 'what are you going to do after I die', Liu Sheng did not subconsciously nod his head as before.
At this time, Liu Sheng only felt a mixture of five flavors in his heart.
Liu Sheng has fantasized more than once: what kind of scene will it be when the old man is leaving;
But what is obvious is that the situation in front of him definitely did not appear in Liu Sheng's expectations······
"That's what happened before I died."
"The important thing is after I die."
"-With the Queen Mother here, the throne will not go wrong;"
"But even then, you can't take it lightly."
"On the day of my death, the Queen Mother will definitely order martial law in Chang'an, and then let you go to the Xuanshu Hall to accept the allegiance of the courtiers and ministers."
"If the Queen Mother didn't do this, then you would have to do it yourself."
"Don't worry about whether you will be charged with 'unfilial piety' and 'disrespect for the Queen Mother'."
"Sit on the throne first, and then talk about other things."
···
"After I died, I was buried in Yangling;"
"Although I will say, 'Be sure to bury yourself,' but you will certainly not listen, and you will not listen."
"Therefore, I should try to be as practical as possible for my funeral things."
"Whoever can use clay, let not use gold or brass;"
"If you can use bamboo and wood, don't use beads and jade."
"The wind of thick burials has intensified in my Han family, and it will cause even more disaster to future generations."
"To advocate thin burial and simple burial, the Son of Heaven must be the first in the world."
"Start with me;"
"You'll have to do the same in the future······"
···
"The new monarch succeeds to the throne, and the government and the opposition are difficult to settle, so it is natural to seal the meritorious ministers all over the place, and to appease the hearts of hundreds of officials."
"-Jia's maternal relative, you want to seal a marquis;"
"It doesn't need to be too big, two or three thousand households are enough."
"-Dou clan, you can't seal the new marquis, but the old marquis will overflow the food yip;"
"For example, Zhang Wuhou can overflow thousands of households, and Wei Qihou and Nanpihou can each have 500 households."
"In addition, your Taifu, Shaobao, and the ministers of the humerus, if you can seal it, try to seize the opportunity."
"If you really can't be a marquis, you will be added to the official;"
"No matter how bad it is, you must also reward some gold, silk, swords, etc., don't chill the hearts of the henchmen of the palace······"
···
"The Queen Mother, I don't need to say much, you understand it yourself."
"The queen will be the queen mother at that time, and you have to weigh it yourself."
"And your brothers, you must think clearly: when it's time to start, don't be soft."
"Don't do things for the sake of your own relatives, let thousands of people in the world lose their loved ones······"
···
"Oh, yes······"
···
"And ······"
···
"Don't forget that ······"
···
"And ······"
"And ·········"
