Emperor Han returned to Qiongzhou with the momentum of thunder.

It shows that the war in Qiongzhou has ended.

I'm afraid that Gaozhou has already taken it down.

Regardless of whether the Han Emperor could fly or not, Shen Guang felt that Donghu Babu could no longer stop the momentum of the Han Dynasty.

At least now, this Donghu Babu, who is afraid of each other and intrigues, is unlikely to pose any threat to the Han Dynasty.

To say that there are still many famous generals in the eight departments of Donghu.

There are even macho men who are stronger in martial arts than him.

Conquering the east and the west, fighting the world with hard power, the foundation is still quite thick.

But there is no leader.

The Han may not be like the Donghu Babu, with many talents and generals.

But there is no doubt that there is a Holy King's Reign.

A good monarch, the impact on the country, is obvious.

Earlier, Donghu was able to occupy the Central Plains, wasn't it also because of the great khan's majestic strategy?

It's hard to say about the other tribes, but Shen Guang can be sure that among the Puliuru tribes, there are only good children, and there are no Ming Jun.

Shen Guang immediately didn't care about the leg of mutton that fell to the ground, and gave a big salute to Lian Hansheng.

Then he bent down deeply in the direction of Qiongzhou City, his forehead was almost close to the ground, and made a courtesy of a monarch.

But he looked at Lian Hansheng's unmoved old face, and Shen Guang suddenly realized that he was wrong.

How can you treat the Han with the courtesy of the Donghu people?

A drop of sweat slipped down the tip of his nose and tickled his face.

Shen Guang endured it, his hands trembled slightly, his heart beat faster, and he performed a Han-style courtesy.

He is also a general, killed from the sea of corpses and blood.

When the camp caught fire, it was he who protected Puliuru Amor and killed him.

also relied on his bravery, and easily slaughtered Puliuru Ava and hundreds of his henchmen.

It can be seen that it is capable.

And the territory of the Puliuru Department is not much less than that of the Great Han.

Judging from the dialogue between countries, Shen Guang's status should be higher than that of Lian Hansheng.

But Shen Guang felt that he was doing the right thing.

The Puliuru Tribe, whose losses were almost heavier than those of the Qiyan Tribe, had completely lost its status on an equal footing with the Han Dynasty.

Not to mention in front of Lian Hansheng, this kind of big general.

Even if he is just a famous Han official, he is worthy of being courteous and having a good attitude.

And Lian Hansheng only realized what Shen Guang was doing at this time.

Good guy, this is a treatment that I haven't had in twenty or thirty years!

But looking at this groveling guy, why do you want to slap him so much?

Lian Hansheng shook his head, made a polite conversation with Shen Guang, and nodded at the merchant ship.

Most of these merchant ships are the majority of the Puliuru department.

It is not difficult to organize a large-scale caravan, or to make a slight modification, and then add bricks and tiles to the naval army.

Puliuru Amam has indeed made a bloody investment.

The old general pondered, since Pu Liuru was quiet, why just take more benefits?

"Your name is Shen Guang, right?"

Shen Guangdeng hurriedly stepped forward:

"Old general, please speak!"

Lian Hansheng had a tolerant look on his face and was extremely kind, but the slap was always attached to the side of his thigh, and he didn't dare to raise it:

"In addition to merchant ships, there is also a shortage of minerals."

"Since you have a large number of merchant ships, you must be engaged in maritime trade and have a large amount of copper and iron reserves."

"Why don't you send another batch of minerals?"

As early as after the emperor recovered Qiongzhou, the iron ore of the imperial court was somewhat stretched.

So much so that when expanding the army, you have to be careful with your calculations.

The only batch of new troops was recruited by Lian Hansheng, and he naturally knew what the situation was.

And with the conquest for more than a year, the consumption of blades and armor is also a lot.

Jiaozhou has many years of grain storage that can be used, but the blades and armor are really not enough.

It was also because he was stationed in Qiongzhou with Xiao Yuanchang that he saw the hidden dangers under the repeated battles.

"I don't know if Your Majesty wants to continue the Northern Expedition or recuperate."

Lian Hansheng is actually a little entangled.

After a series of great victories, the morale of the soldiers was high, and so were the courtiers.

There may not be a truce in time.

"Let's take a look at Your Majesty's thoughts, if you can get more minerals from the hands of the Puliuru Department and alleviate it, it would be good."

Lian Hansheng looked at Shen Guang again, just waiting for him to answer.

Seeing the old general's generous face, there was no displeasure, but a little expectation.

Shen Guang didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly said:

"When I go back, I will persuade His Highness to prepare."

"Dahan is the father of the Puliuru Ministry, and His Majesty is the Heavenly Khan, this demand, our ministry will definitely be able to do it!"

"Father, father?"

Lian Hansheng couldn't help it and laughed out loud.

That's a pretty good word.

And the title of Khan on this day, Your Majesty will probably like it, right?

"Okay, you leave all the merchant ships behind, and the old man is waiting for your good news."

"If you can get a large amount of minerals, the old man will definitely say a few kind words for you in front of Your Majesty!"

"Then thank the old general first!"

Looking at Shen Guang, who didn't want a boat, even the boatmen flowed down together, and even directly asked for a horse and walked to Jiangdong by land.

Lian Hansheng couldn't help but touch his pale beard.

Yu Rang is also a Han Chinese, and he sent an envoy to the Han Dynasty on behalf of the Puliuru Department.

But Yu Rang was arrogant and extremely conceited, relying on the Donghu people and commanding the imperial court.

It's really annoying, and even the big stone in the head makes people feel that the means are too light, and they can't wait to dismantle eight pieces, and then light the sky lantern first.

can be Shen Guang with the same identity and the same background.

Looking at it, it's so cute.

"Why is the gap between people and people so big?"

Lian Hansheng shook his head and sighed.

All this changed only because the emperor successively recovered Jiaozhou and Gaozhou.

Frontal defeat of the 200,000-strong army led by the Great Khan of Donghu.

"If you can recover Chang'an, you can recover the whole world."

Lian Hansheng couldn't help but yearn for it.

At that time, the title of "Heavenly Khan" has been fully implemented.

Those who come to the Han to offer gifts will not only be the people of one country.

Or even. All nations come to court.

——

Shen Guang rode all the way back to Jinling.

I went back to Fuzhong first, and let the subordinates wait for the horses.

Although this horse is a colt.

With his identity, he can easily find better horses.

But this is Lian Hansheng, the general of the Han Dynasty, who found a horse for him.

This means that he and Dahan are on the line.

Not to mention a horse, even if it's a donkey, he treats it like a treasure!

"King Khan, the minister has sent the merchant ship, and it is Lian Hansheng, a veteran of the Han Dynasty, who personally receives it."

"But that Lian Hansheng also proposed that we send some more minerals."

Puliuru Amor was watching the music, luxurious as it was, and there was musk on the table.

Although he killed his father and killed his brother, first sent 100,000 sailors, and then sent 50,000 foot soldiers, he did have the ability.

84's wisdom and 93's governance are more than enough to govern Jiangdong.

And it was an eventful time, and if Puliuru Amor wanted to stabilize his position, he could only be more diligent in government.

"Minerals?"

Puliuru Ammo just sighed lightly and understood.

This should be something that everyone in the world knows.

The Han Dynasty conquered the world with a state, and now although it has won successive battles, it has played an extremely terrifying record.

However, the logistics materials are insufficient after all.

"In this case, you will go for Ben Khan again."

Puliuru Amor didn't think much about it, and immediately took out a booklet, and while counting his own inventory, he wrote a letter:

"Ben Khan thought about it, and only sending a batch of minerals was not enough to show respect for his father-in-law."

"We have to send it every year, not only minerals, but also New Year's coins, and we will send whatever my father-in-law wants."

With a stroke of his pen, Puliuru Amam temporarily decided what to send for the next batch.

"King Khan, is this it?"

Shen Guang couldn't help but smack his tongue, this is a tax that gave half of Jiangdong!

The rise of the Han Dynasty is unstoppable.

But now it is clear that it is in the midst of a shortage of materials.

It's enough to maintain friendly relations, why bother sending money, food, and armor to the point of reducing your own strength?

"Well, let's take a look."

Puliuru Amor threw the piece he had just watched to Shen Guang.

Shen Guang only glanced at it a few times, and then bowed:

"The Khan King is wise!"

The king of his own khan, although he is not a Ming monarch, but as a king of success, he is still okay.

This is the detailed work of the Puliuru Division, which reports the situation of the Donghu Eight Divisions today.

Qiyan Jinhan fled back to Chang'an, and set up Qiyan Silie's nephew Qiyan Yuan as the Khan of the Qiyan Tribe, and at the same time inherited the throne of the Great Khan.

Later, due to the young age of Qiyan Yuan, Qiyan Jinhan temporarily replaced Qiyan Yuan, and belonged to the affairs of the Qiyan Ministry, and held a funeral for the Great Khan.

The eight departments all sent henchmen to Chang'an to send the Great Khan on his last journey.

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that this was to find out where the body of the Great Khan was, and at the same time to grasp the information and movements of other tribes.

Secretly, the clouds were treacherous, but the bald Khan King suddenly made everything clear.

directly denied the rationality of Qi Yanyuan's succession, and took over the position of King Yong, who was rewarded by Jia Wuji.

With the legal principles of King Yong, he directly sent troops, and took advantage of the great injury of the Qiyan Department to occupy stability.

directly threatened Chang'an.

And the baldness department was so presumptuous, and the other Donghu departments didn't even make any reaction and helped the beggar department.

Instead, they each received the throne of Jia Wuji's reward and began to dispatch troops.

Seeing it, it's going to be a piece of cake.

That is, the Puliuru Department and the Central Plains are separated by the Yangtze River.

Otherwise, in terms of the extent of this loss of troops, most of them will have to lose the city and lose their land like the beggar department.

"No wonder."

Shen Guang muttered to himself, all the ministries accepted the reward of the Han Dynasty, regardless of whether it was sealed by the Han Emperor or Jia Wuji, and it didn't matter whether the court recognized it or not.

At least they attacked each other, and the division was famous.

No longer affected by the Great Khan.

At the same time, he also expressed a certain degree of reconciliation with the Han Dynasty.

Don't talk about the khan kings of various tribes, why would they be fooled.

This is a conspiracy.

They were already at odds, and they all had the thoughts of the current Great Khan, and it was impossible for them to be in harmony as a family.

Fighting the big Han, the consequence is the current Puliuru Department and the Qiyan Department.

Fighting other tribes can expand the territory.

Moreover, the Han Emperor and the Han Army, although they are very capable of fighting, are lacking in logistics after all.

The Northern Expedition is easy to say, but it is not easy to pull the supply line from the south to the north.

Therefore, all the khans and kings have selfish intentions.

What if before the Han Emperor succeeded, he succeeded to the throne of the Great Khan?

Even if he can't succeed him, he can at least expand his territory.

Emaciated camels are bigger than horses.

Holding three states and finally losing to the Han, and mastering five states and finally losing to the Han, the ending is completely different.

To put it mildly, if he can succeed the Great Khan, he will re-unify the eight tribes of Donghu.

Even if he was still defeated by the Han army in the end, just stepping on the corpse of Donghu Babu, his life was much better than that of a khan king.

Shen Guang thought about it, and suddenly asked in his heart:

"King Khan, your son, has it just been a full moon?"

"Exactly."

Puliuru Amam was stunned, and he was also happy:

"It just so happens that you will send Ben Khan's son to Qiongzhou as well."

"Dahan. Well, the Han Dynasty is orthodox in the world, and it pays the most attention to education. ”

"If you want him to become a talent, you have to go to Qiongzhou to study."

"Yes!"

Shen Guang took over the task without giving in.

Other tribes can attack each other, but in the case that there are few generals in the Puliuru tribe at present, don't even think about it.

But there is a way to do it.

Directly hug the big man's leg.

Of course, they can't conquer cities and make more political capital.

But you can lick it first as a respect!

Anyway, the Puliuru Department is the closest to Qiongzhou!

——

"Lord He, this time the Qiongzhou family, I'm afraid it's a heavy loss!"

The representatives of the family, Yang Zhong and Wang Zhao died successively.

He Kun actually became the leader of the family.

Although he is in his thirties, he is still young in the family.

And not human.

A dignified nobleman, he became the emperor's dog, he had no face and no skin, and he only had gold particles in his heart.

But people have the ability!

Not only in the imperial court and the family, but also in the rebellion that affected the entire Qiongzhou this time, he did his best to protect the Beipu He lineage.

And as long as before, after listening to He Kun's advice, the big families who did not exchange shares and did not profit much in the rebellion basically survived.

"Is it really miserable?"

The fat on He Kun's cheeks trembled, and his expression remained unchanged:

"What should I say about those who have been raided and have lost their pulses?"

"If you can live, it's all the emperor's grace, what's so miserable."

The people of the family did not dare to object, and responded again and again:

"That's what Lord He said!"

He Kun patted the table, since he came to be the talker, he had to be a good person.

"Let's talk about Emperor Xiaowen."

The crowd was puzzled.

He Kun continued:

"Emperor Xiaowen is a model for creating the rule of Wenjing."

"In our hearts, we have always been the lord of civil governance, generous and benevolent."

"For the country, rest and recuperate."

"To the Huns, it is good to be close to relatives."

"For Nanyue, he even lowered his posture and repaired the ancestral tomb of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, which made Zhao Tuo feel embarrassed, so that he finally removed the emperor's title and surrendered his hand."

"Even if Zhou Bo, the powerful minister who lifted him to the throne in the air, the whole process was not shocking."

The crowd praised one after another:

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

"I am the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, generous and benevolent, and have the style of an elder!"

Although I was confused, I didn't care about him!

As long as it is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, it will be blown violently.

It seems to be blowing the ancestors, but in fact, it is blowing the current majesty!

"But is that really the case?"

He Kun's voice suddenly changed, wanting to learn from Jia Wuji, and his expression was gloomy.

But I have too much fat on my face, too fat, and my eyebrows and eyes are squeezed, but I look more and more kind.

"There is such a passage in the history books."

"The first king did not enter the emperor and the queen died, and the king became the emperor, and the four boys born to the queen died of illness, Emperor Xiaowen was established for a few months, and the prince asked for the crown prince."

"Before Emperor Xiaowen inherited the throne, the queen died."

"After Emperor Xiaowen inherited the throne, the four sons born to the queen died of illness one after another."

"Is it a coincidence?"

Hiss.

The family members who were still complimenting and touting just now couldn't help but feel a chill behind them.

I just feel like a man on my back.

They are not stupid, they are all people who read poetry and books.

Why can't you hear the meaning behind He Kun's words?

If the son dies in a row, if it is a farmer's family, it can be placed in the royal family, it seems too abnormal.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Since it is not a coincidence, it is deliberate.

But who would dare to kill the emperor's son?

After the death of Emperor Gao, Empress Lu fell into power for a while.

And the way in which they consolidate their authority is through marriage.

Through the marriage of Liu Lu and constantly stabilizing the power, almost all the kings surnamed Liu were arranged by Empress Lu as a standard arrangement of a little lady of the Lu family.

Emperor Xiaowen, who was still the acting king at that time, was naturally no exception.

And the "acting queen" who died early and did not record her name is likely to be the daughter of the Lu family.

Who supported Emperor Xiaowen's ascension?

Zhou Bo.

What did Zhou Bo do?

Quell the rebellion of the Lu clan and kill the entire Lu clan.

He has a blood feud with the Lu family.

But the emperor who is about to ascend the throne, among the heirs, has the blood of the Lu family.

These princes with the blood of the Lu family will become princes and even princes in the future.

So what to do?

Kill.

It is even possible that it was Emperor Xiaowen who killed himself.

After all, when Emperor Xiaowen was about to enter the palace, he was blocked by the guards.

It was Zhou Bo who came forward to order the guards to unarm.

Without Zhou Bo's support, he would not be able to get into position.

However, no one from the family present dared to have this idea.

Even if it's just a few thoughts, it's just a flash.

Can't think about it!

Seeing this, He Kun just lightly mentioned:

"Your Majesty has always honored your ancestors."

Everyone immediately understood.

Emperor of the Han Dynasty, none of them are good to think with.

Even a benevolent and virtuous monarch like Emperor Xiaowen can find some clues if he is careful about it.

Let's take the other emperor of Wenjingzhizhi as an example, Emperor Xiaojing, who was really a teenager and smashed the prince to death with a chessboard?

If you think about it, it was a chessboard that smashed the Seven Kingdoms.

If he hadn't stoned the son of King Wu to death with a chessboard, how could King Wu be in a hurry to rebel?

Typical fishing enforcement.

Even if it's the Second Emperor Huan Ling.

Emperor Xiaohuan was also rumored to have killed the ministers by stealing.

A thick-hearted black man with a top face.

Your Majesty today, I'm afraid it's the same.

"No wonder Jia Wuji died so quickly."

The crowd sighed.

This rebellion in Qiongzhou was most likely a secret plan of the emperor.

Use Jia Wuji to purge the central government.

They also only said that the Chinese martial arts were capable, and the emperor quickly returned to Qiongzhou unexpectedly.

I didn't expect everything to be calculated.

No wonder they usually pay tribute to the first emperors of the Han Dynasty!

No wonder the dragon robe of the big man is red and black!

It's so dark!

He Kun's faces are in full view.

In fact, he didn't know whether the Qiongzhou Rebellion was the emperor's handiwork.

But it did not prevent him from attributing everything to the emperor's handiwork.

And then use it to deter the family.

Scare and scare, flicker, scared, can you take out the money respectfully!

"You haven't cashed out your shares yet, have you?"

"Seeing that the battle of Gaozhou is about to end."

Listening to He Kun mentioning the stock chips, and then thinking of the emperor's black hand, everyone hurriedly said:

"Lord He, the stock chips are for the imperial court, and we live under the rule of the Han Dynasty, how can we collect profits?"

"Yes, yes! The old man doesn't take half a profit! ”

"I don't even want shares, just because I haven't bought them!"

The crowd gritted their teeth and bled profusely.

The amount of grain raised by the exchange of shares is not a small amount!

Rao is a big family, and they all feel distressed.

Especially after Donghu Babu was crowned king, the chaos visible to the naked eye was almost about to fight.

When the time comes, troops will be mobilized everywhere, and the price of food will not rise sharply?

But they didn't dare to play more with the idea of raising shares.

If you can get the principal back, you will be considered a success.

He Kun just shook his head:

"Your Majesty's rewards and punishments are clear."

"You contributed to the court, and you did not participate in the rebellion."

"On the contrary, it is merit in defending the city."

"How can Your Majesty treat you badly?"

"My suggestion is that everyone only takes one percent of the profit."

Everyone looked at each other, and then asked tentatively:

"Is it really possible?"

He Kun nodded:

"Nature."

Stock raising is a long-term business.

As long as the Han has to continue to fight, it is rare to use stock funds to raise funds.

If you give up the long-term operation of the stock chip for the sake of temporary interests, the gains outweigh the losses.

This time I gave a profit, and next time I can let the family continue to redeem shares.

He Kun knows what his position is.

It is the glue between the imperial court and the family.

He can persuade the family and the emperor.

If the emperor insists on not sharing the benefits with the family this time, he will also persuade more.

The family that can stay now, not to mention completely turning to the imperial court, at least will not be the enemy of the Han Dynasty.

are all objects that can be retained.

Then the imperial examination, and even the middle and low-level officials who urgently needed to be replenished by the imperial court, had to rely on the family's efforts!

After settling the hearts of these big families, He Kun ate and drank with everyone.

He ate until midnight, and then he washed his clothes under the clothes of a maid.

"Gross-"

Because he drank too much wine, He Kun couldn't hold it anymore.

After spitting up violently, the abdomen was slightly more comfortable.

In a daze, lying on the couch, as if talking in a dream.

"It's just a stock raiser for profit, it's not enough to make the family excited."

——

Gaozhou was completely pacified.

Liu Ke ordered Yue Shaoqian to serve as the assassin of Gaozhou again.

Hou Junyan was appointed as the county guard of Hepu County, and Ma Kuo, Li Jingji, and Ma Chengyan were appointed as the county guards of the remaining three counties.

Although they are all stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and there is a bone in the back of the head, it is also improvised.

Moreover, Hou Junyan, Ma Kuo, and Ma Chengyan are all natives of Gaozhou and are more familiar with the local area.

In this period, it is more convenient to let the locals govern the locality.

At the same time, Liu Ke also ordered students from all counties to prepare for the imperial examination next spring.

The first imperial examination of the Zhaowu Dynasty also made many people eager to try.

The current big man is a fragrant bait.

Liu Ke even specially informed the eldest child.

Jiangnan poetry and book heirlooms, many literati.

It would be better if we could get a group of Jiangdong scholars from Haodaer.

The more talents, the better.

Except for Yue Shaoqian and a few county guards, with 30,000 Han troops, who continued to stay in Gaozhou, all the generals returned to the court.

The time has come to September of the second year of Zhaowu.

Liu Ke, who had been fishing for a while, also started his own reforms.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

After a burst of process-style etiquette, Liu Ke looked drowsy.

"Serve."

With a wave of his hand, Hua Chengyu took the imperial guards and a group of civil and military officers to distribute a gift box.

"It's been more than a year since I ascended the throne."

"The affairs of the DPRK and China all depend on the hard work of the ministers."

"This is my heart, and I ask you to accept it."

Liu Ke bowed his head and motioned for the ministers to open the gift box.

The ministers looked at each other.

Finally, a court meeting with a neat lineup, but you didn't start a meeting, but a gift?

Pour also

Pretty down-to-earth.

Xiao Yuanchang, who was listed at the head of Wenchen, opened the gift box and looked at it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Raisin?

Pull some raisins.

Beans?

Cucumber?

And a big fat watermelon?

No wonder it's so heavy.

In addition to these inexplicable crops, there are also some jewelry.

Ivory, incense, pearls.

In Qiongzhou, they are rare.

A group of civil and military people, strange in their hearts.

A lot of things, except for the rarity, don't have much value.

Especially those crops that are worthless.

What does the emperor mean exactly?

Dian Chu was already happy in his heart.

There's a radish in it!

"It's not over yet."

Liu Ke smiled and clapped his hands:

"Come in!"

After a while, a group of veiled orchids, writhing their bewitching figures, walked into the hall.

"In the middle of the court, how can it be"

"Oh, I can't stand this!"

"The old minister can't afford it."

Most of the old ministers like Lian Hansheng are blindfolded with five fingers.

But the five fingers are open.

Like Xiao Yuanchang, the more serious courtiers do not squint.

It was even more admonished.

And civil and military officers like Shihai and Xue Jia, who don't hide much about their temperament, are flushed.

I almost didn't hug it.

Especially Shihai.

He fooled the emperor, and the hundred palace maids who promised were all old crooked melons and cracked dates.

Sent to his house, it also saved a lot of expenses for the palace, as if cleaning up the inventory!

Xue Jia let loose and stretched out his hand to touch it.

But the orchids deliberately stayed away from this sick seedling who coughed a few times from time to time.

Liu Ke looked at it and felt sorry for this group of orchids.

Xue Jia, a rich sick man, looks good, isn't he the best golden beetle son-in-law?

Eh, the pattern of the Hu people is really worse.

"Your Majesty, the world has not yet been decided, so you must not be overjoyed!"

Xiao Yuanchang, these upright ministers, still admonished in the eyes of Hu Ji's dress.

I am afraid that the emperor will slack off because of a big victory for a while.

Now it's just a few states that have been recovered, and it's still far from Chang'an, and even the world!

Liu Ke waved his hand and tapped on the table to let Hu Ji exit the hall.

"All of you know that I admire Emperor Xiaowu the most."

"Then there is someone who can tell me."

"Emperor Xiaowu, why did you send Zhang Qian to the Western Regions back then?"
