It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 174 Born in trouble
Emperor Han returned to Qiongzhou with the momentum of thunder.

It shows that the war in Qiongzhou is over.

I'm afraid Gaozhou has already been taken down.

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

At least for now, the Donghu Babu, who are afraid of each other and scheming against each other, cannot pose any threat to the big man.

To say that there are still quite a few famous generals in the Eight Divisions of Donghu.

There are even macho men with stronger martial arts than him.

Conquering east and west, the world built with hard power still has a solid foundation.

But there is no leader.

The big man may not be like the eight tribes of Donghu, with many talents and soldiers.

But they have the undoubted King's Arrival.

An excellent monarch's influence on the country is obvious.

Wasn't it also because of the great Khan that Donghu was able to occupy the Central Plains earlier?

It's hard to say about other tribes, but Shen Guang can be sure that among the Puliuru tribe, there are only big children and no wise kings.

Immediately, Shen Guang ignored the leg of lamb that fell on the ground, and made a big gift to Lian Hansheng.

Then facing the direction of Qiongzhou City, he bent down deeply, his forehead was almost close to the ground, and made a salute as a monarch and minister.

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

How can we use the Donghu people's courtesy of emperors and ministers when dealing with big men?
A drop of sweat slipped from the tip of his nose, itching his face.

Shen Guang resisted, his hands trembling slightly, his heart beating faster, and he performed a Chinese-style courtesy of a monarch and minister.

He is also a general, who was killed from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood.

When the camp caught fire, he was the one who protected Praliu Rama and killed him.

With bravery, he slaughtered Puliu Rava and his hundreds of confidants.

It can be seen that it is capable.

And the territory of the Puliuru tribe is not much less than that of the big Han.

Judging from the country-to-country dialogue, Shen Guang's status should be higher than that of Lian Hansheng.

But Shen Guang felt that what he did was right.

The Puliuru Department, which suffered even more severe losses than the Qiyan Department, has completely lost its status as an equal to the Han court.

Not to mention being in front of Lian Hansheng, a veteran general like this.

Even if it's just a big Han official with a name and surname, he deserves to be treated with courtesy and attitude.

As for Lian Hansheng, it was only at this time that he realized what Shen Guang was doing.

Good guy, this is a treatment that has never been given in the past 30 or [-] years!
But looking at this humble guy, why do you want to slap him so much?

Lian Hansheng shook his head, chatted politely with Shen Guang, and ordered some merchant ships.

Most of these merchant ships belong to the majority of the Pu Liuru Department.

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

Praliu Rama has indeed paid for it.

The old general pondered, since the General Liuru Department is humble, why not take more benefits?

"Your name is Shen Guang, right?"

Shen Guang rushed forward in a hurry:

"Old General, please speak!"

Lian Hansheng had a forgiving look on his face, and was extremely kind, but his slap was stuck to the side of his thigh and he didn't dare to lift it up:
"In addition to merchant ships, there is also a lack of minerals."

"Since your Pu Liuru Department has a large number of merchant ships, it must be engaged in maritime trade and has a large amount of copper and iron in reserve."

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

As early as after the emperor regained Qiongzhou, the iron mines of the imperial court were somewhat stretched.

So much so that when expanding the army, you have to plan carefully.

The only new army was recruited by Lian Hansheng, so he naturally knew what was going on.

And with the battle for more than a year, the consumption of weapons and armor has also been quite a lot.

Jiaozhou has many years of food reserves that can be used, but the weapons and armor are really not enough.

It was also because he was stationed in Qiongzhou together with Xiao Yuanchang that he saw the hidden dangers of successive battles.

"I don't know if His Majesty is going to continue the Northern Expedition, or to cultivate life and rest."

Lian Hansheng was actually a little tangled.

After successive victories, the morale of the soldiers is high, and so are the courtiers.

A truce may not be possible in time.

"Let's see what His Majesty thinks. It would be nice if we could get more minerals from Pu Liuru's Department to ease the situation."

Lian Hansheng looked at Shen Guang again, waiting for his answer.

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

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

"After I go back, I will advise His Highness to prepare."

"The big man is the fatherland of Puliuru Department, and His Majesty is Tian Khan. Our department will definitely be able to meet this demand!"

"Father Bang?"

Lian Hansheng couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud.

This word is really good.

And the title of Khan today, His Majesty will probably like it, right?

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

"If you can get a lot of minerals, I will definitely say something nice for you in front of His Majesty!"

"Then thank the old general first!"

Seeing that he didn't want a single boat, even the boatmen were left behind, and even begged for a poor horse, and Shen Guang went to Jiangdong by land.

Lian Hansheng couldn't help touching his pale beard.

Yu Rang is also a Han Chinese, and he is an envoy on behalf of the Pu Liuru Department.

But Yu Rang was arrogant and extremely conceited. He relied on the Donghu people and bossed the court around.

It's really annoying, and even breaking a big stone on the forehead makes people feel that the means are too light, and they can't wait to unload the eight pieces, first Lingchi and then lighting the sky lantern.

But Shen Guang with the same identity and background.

Look at it, but it is so cute.

"Why is the gap between people so big?"

Lian Hansheng shook his head and sighed.

All these changes were only because the emperor regained Jiaozhou and Gaozhou successively.

The 20 army led by Donghu Great Khan was defeated head-on.

"If Chang'an can be recovered, the whole world can be recovered."

Lian Hansheng couldn't help yearning for it.

By that time, the title of "Heavenly Khan" may have been fully implemented.

Those who come to the big man to present gifts will not be just people from one country.

Even. Wanbang came to court.
-
Shen Guang rode his horse all the way back to Jinling.

First, I went back to the mansion, and asked the servants to take care of the horses.

Although this horse is a rough horse.

In his capacity, he could easily find a better horse.

But this is Lian Hansheng, the general of the big man, the poor horse he found for him.

This means that he has hooked up with the big man.

Don't say it's a slut, even a donkey, he regards it as a treasure!
"King Khan, I have already delivered the merchant ship, and it was personally received by Lian Hansheng, a veteran of the Han Dynasty."

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

Praliu Rama was looking at the memorial, unabated in luxury, and the table was still lit with musk.

Although he killed his father and brother and sent [-] sailors first, and then [-] infantry, he is indeed capable.

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

Moreover, it was a troubled time, and if Praliu Rama wanted to stabilize his position, he could only work harder.

"mineral?"

Praliu Rama just let out a sigh and understood.

This should be clear to everyone in the world.

The big man attacked the world with a single state, and now he has achieved a terrifying record even though he has won consecutive battles.

But the logistical materials are ultimately insufficient.

"In this way, you will take another trip for Ben Khan."

Praliu Rama didn't think too much, and immediately took out a booklet, counted his own inventory, and wrote a letter:
"Ben Khan thought it over and over again. Only sending a batch of minerals is not enough to express his respect to his adoptive father."

"We have to give it every year, not only minerals, but also New Year's coins. Whatever the foster father wants, we will give it away."

With a flick of his pen, Praliu Rama tentatively decided what to send for the next batch.

"Khan, is this?"

Shen Guang couldn't help clicking his tongue, this is a gift of less than half of Jiangdong's taxes!
The momentum of the big man is of course unstoppable.

But now it is clearly caught in a crisis of material shortage.

Just maintain a friendly relationship, why bother to send money, food, and armor to reduce your own strength?
"Here, let's take a look first."

Puliu Rama threw the memorial that he had just read to Shen Guang.

Shen Guang only took a few glances, then bowed and said:
"The King of Khan is wise!"

Although the King Khan of his own family is not a wise king, he can still be regarded as a successful king.

This is the detailed work of Puliuru Department, which reports the current situation of Donghu Babu.

Qiyan Jinhan fled back to Chang'an, and made Qiyan Sirie's grandnephew Qiyan Yuan the king of the Qiyan tribe, and at the same time inherited the position of Great Khan.

Later, because Qiyanyuan was young, Qiyan Jinhan temporarily replaced Qiyanyuan, who was in charge of the affairs of the Qiyan Department, and held a funeral for the Great Khan.

All eight departments sent their confidants to Chang'an to send the Great Khan off for the last time.

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

Bo Yun was treacherous in the dark, but King Khan of the bald department suddenly made everything clear.

He directly denied the rationality of Qi Yanyuan's succession, and took over the throne of King Yong awarded by Jia Wuji.

Based on King Yong's legal principles, he sent troops directly, taking advantage of the opportunity when Qiyan's vitality was seriously injured, and occupied Anding.

A direct threat to Chang'an.

And the bald hair department is so presumptuous, the other Donghu departments did not respond in any way to help the begging face department.

Instead, they each took the throne that Jia Wuji bestowed on them, and began to dispatch troops and generals.

Seeing it, it is about to become one.

That is to say, Puliuru and the Central Plains are separated by the natural danger of the Yangtze River.

Otherwise, the degree of loss of soldiers and generals would probably be the same as that of the Qiyan tribe, losing cities and lands.

"No wonder so."

Shen Guang muttered to himself, all the ministries accepted the rewards from the great Han, regardless of whether it was awarded by the Emperor Han or Jia Wuji, and whether the imperial court recognized it or not.

At least they attack each other, and they are famous.

No longer affected by "The Great Khan".

At the same time, he also expressed a certain degree of reconciliation to the big man.

Not to mention why the Khan kings of various tribes were fooled.

This is conspiracy.

They were originally at odds, and they all had the thoughts of the next Great Khan, so it was impossible for them to live in harmony like a family.

The result of beating big men is today's Puliuru Department and Qiyan Department.

Fighting other tribes can actually expand the territory.

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

The Northern Expedition was easy to say, but just pulling the supply line from the south to the north was not an easy task.

Therefore, each Khan king has selfish intentions.

What if he succeeds the position of Great Khan before Emperor Han succeeds?
Even if he can't succeed, at least he can expand his territory.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Holding three states and finally losing to the big man, and holding five states and finally losing to the big man, the ending is completely different.

To put it bluntly, if he can succeed the Great Khan, he will be under the Eighth Division of Donghu again.

Even if he still lost to the Han army in the end, just stepping on the corpse of Donghu Babu, his life was much better than when he was a mere Khan.

Shen Guang thought about it, and suddenly Fulin asked sincerely:
"King Khan, your son has just reached the full moon, right?"

"Exactly."

Puliu Rama was stunned for a moment, and was also overjoyed:
"It just so happened that you sent Ben Khan's son to Qiongzhou."

"Big Han. Well, the big Han is orthodox in the world, and he pays the most attention to education."

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

"As ordered!"

Shen Guang accepted the task without hesitation.

Other tribes can attack each other, but in the case of Puliuru tribe with few soldiers and generals, don't even think about it.

But there are other ways.

Hold the big man's leg directly.

Of course, they cannot conquer cities and lands to gain more political capital.

But you can lick first as a respect!
Anyway, Puliuru Department is the closest to Qiongzhou!
-
"Master He, the Qiongzhou family may suffer a heavy loss this time!"

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

He Kun has suddenly become the leader of the family.

Although he was in his thirties, he was still young.

And not human.

A dignified family noble, who became the emperor's dog, has no face and skin, only gold particles in his heart.

But they are capable!
Not only was he able to maneuver freely among the imperial court and the aristocratic family, but he also tried his best to preserve the Beipu He family during the rebellion that affected the entire Qiongzhou.

And as long as he listened to He Kun's advice before, the aristocratic families who did not exchange shares and did not make much profit in the rebellion basically survived.

"Is it really serious?"

The fat on He Kun's cheeks trembled, his expression unchanged:
"Those whose homes were ransacked and whose veins were cut off, what should I say?"

"It's all thanks to the emperor's kindness to survive, so there's nothing serious about it."

The members of the aristocratic family did not dare to object, and responded repeatedly:

"What Master He said is true!"

He Kun patted the desk case, since he came to be the speaker, he had to do it well.

"Let's talk about Emperor Xiaowen."

People didn't understand it.

He Kun continued:
"Emperor Xiaowen is a model for creating the rule of Wenjing."

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

"For the country, rest and recuperate."

"To the Huns, make good friends."

"For Nanyue, he even lowered his stance and repaired the ancestral tomb of Nanyue King Zhao Tuo, which made Zhao Tuo feel ashamed, so that he finally removed the title of emperor himself and surrendered himself as a minister."

"Even Zhou Bo, the power minister who helped him to the top position, the whole process was uneventful."

Everyone praised:

"Ah yes yes yes!"

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

Although he was confused, but who cares!

As long as he is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he will blow it all the way.

It seems to be bragging about the ancestors, but in fact, it is bragging about the current Majesty!
"But is that really the case?"

He Kun suddenly changed his voice, trying to imitate Jia Wuji and make his expression more sinister.

But helplessly, there is too much fat and fat on his face, and when he squeezes his eyebrows and eyes, he looks more kind.

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

"The king of the previous generation was not established as the emperor, but the queen died, and the king was established as the emperor, and the four sons born to the queen died of illness. Emperor Xiaowen was established for a few months, and the minister asked to establish a prince."

"Emperor Xiaowen has not inherited the great rule, and the queen died."

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

"Is it a coincidence?"

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

I just feel like a light is on my back.

They are not stupid, they are all well-read poetry and books.

Why can't you understand the meaning behind He Kun's words?
Even with the dead son, it would be fine if it was a peasant family, but it would be too abnormal to be in the royal family.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Since it is not a coincidence, it is deliberate.

But who dares to kill the emperor's son?

After the death of Emperor Gao, Empress Lu's power was overwhelming for a while.

And the way it consolidates its power is through marriage.

Through the marriage of Liu and Lu, the power has been continuously consolidated, and almost all the kings surnamed Liu have been arranged by Empress Lu as a young lady of the Lu family.

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

And the "dai queen" who passed away early and whose name was not recorded was probably Lu's daughter.

Who is it that supports Emperor Xiaowen's ascension?

Zhou Bo.

What did Zhou Bo do?

Put down the rebellion of the Lu family and kill the whole family of the Lu family.

He has a blood feud with the Lu family.

But the emperor who is about to ascend the throne has Lu's blood among his heirs.

These princes with Lu's blood will become princes, or even princes.

so what should I do now?
kill.

It is even possible that Emperor Xiaowen killed himself.

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

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

Without Zhou Bo's support, he would not be able to take the position.

However, no one from the aristocratic family present dared to have such an idea.

Even if there are only some thoughts, they just pass by in a flash.

Can't think too much!
Seeing this, He Kun just made a point:
"Your Majesty has always honored the ancestors."

Everyone understood immediately.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty, no one is easy to want to be with.

Even a benevolent emperor like Emperor Xiaowen can find some clues if he looks carefully.

Let’s take another emperor of Wenjing Zhizhi as an example. Emperor Xiaojing, was it really a young man who smashed the prince and noble son to death with a chessboard?

If you think about it carefully, it was a chessboard that wiped out the Seven Kingdoms.

If King Wu's son hadn't been smashed to death with a chessboard, why would King Wu rush to rebel?

Typical phishing enforcement.

Even the Second Emperor Huanling.

Emperor Xiaohuan was also rumored to have killed powerful officials by stealing.

All of them are thick-faced and dark-hearted.

Today's His Majesty, I'm afraid it's the same.

"No wonder Jia Wuji died so quickly."

Everyone sighed.

The rebellion in Qiongzhou this time was probably the emperor's secret plan.

Use Jia Wuji to clean up the central government.

They only said that Chaowen Wu was capable, and the emperor returned to Qiongzhou quickly unexpectedly.

Unexpectedly, everything was calculated.

No wonder I always pay tribute to the great Han emperors!
No wonder the big man's dragon robe is red and black!

too dark!
Everyone's expressions in He Kun could be seen in full view.

In fact, he didn't know at all whether the Qiongzhou Rebellion was the work of the emperor.

But it does not prevent him from attributing everything to the emperor's handwriting.

Then use it to intimidate the family.

Frighten and frighten, fool you, and be afraid, so you can respectfully take out the money!

"Your stocks have not been redeemed yet, have you?"

"Seeing that the battle of Gaozhou is coming to an end."

Hearing He Kun's mention of stocks, and thinking of the emperor's tricks, everyone hurriedly said:
"Master He, stock raising is to contribute to the imperial court. We live under the rule of a big man, so how can we make a profit?"

"That's right! I won't take half of the profit!"

"I don't even want stock chips, just pretend I haven't bought them!"

Everyone gritted their teeth, bleeding profusely.

The fodder raised in exchange for stocks is not a small sum!
Rao is a big family, feel distressed.

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

At that time, troops will be mobilized everywhere, and food prices will not rise sharply?
But they didn't dare to play more stocks.

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

He Kun just shook his head:

"Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments."

"You have contributed to the imperial court, but you have not participated in the rebellion."

"On the contrary, defending the city is meritorious."

"How could His Majesty treat you badly?"

"My suggestion is that everyone only takes [-]% of the profit."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then tentatively asked:

"Is it really possible?"

He Kun nodded:

"nature."

Stocks are a long-term business.

As long as the big man has to continue to fight, he will have to use stock to raise funds.

If you give up the long-term operation of stock chips for the sake of temporary benefits, the loss outweighs the gain.

This time I gave [-]% of the profit, so that next time, the big family members can continue to redeem the shares.

He Kun knows what his position is.

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

He can persuade the family, and he can also persuade the emperor.

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

The aristocratic families that can stay now, not to mention completely falling to the court, at least they will not be enemies of the big man.

All are reusable objects.

The subsequent imperial examinations, and even the middle and low-level officials that the court urgently needed to be supplemented, still had to rely on the efforts of the aristocratic family!

After calming down the minds of these aristocratic families, He Kun ate and drank with everyone.

After eating until midnight, he undressed and washed under the maid's clothes.

"vomit--"

Because he drank too much with the wine, He Kun was also a little bit overwhelmed.

After vomiting for a while, my stomach felt a little more comfortable.

Lying on the couch in a daze, it seemed like he was talking in his sleep.

"It's just stock raising for profit, it's not enough to make the aristocratic family excited."
-
Gaozhou was completely pacified.

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

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

Although they are all rotten fish and rotten shrimps, and there is one with a rebellious bone in the back of the head, they are still useable.

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

During this period, it is more convenient for the local people to govern the local area.

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

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

The big man now is a sweet pastry.

Liu Ke even specifically informed Hao Daer.

There are many literati in the heirloom of Jiangnan poetry and books.

It would be even better if a group of Jiangdong scholars could be obtained from Hao Daer.

The more talents, the better.

Except for Yue Shaoqian and several county guards who continued to stay in Gaozhou with [-] Han troops, 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 reform.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

After a burst of procedural etiquette, Liu Ke felt drowsy.

"Serve."

Waving his hand, Hua Chengyu led the imperial guards and distributed a gift box with a group of civil and military personnel.

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

"Everything in the court depends on the hard work of the ministers."

"This is my wish, please accept it."

Liu Ke nodded, signaling for the officials to open the gift box.

The ministers looked at each other.

It was a court meeting with a full lineup, but you started by giving gifts instead of discussing matters?

but also
Very down to earth.

Xiao Yuanchang, who ranked first among civil servants, opened the gift box and saw that the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

raisin?
Shake the raisins a little.

Peas?

cucumber?

And a fat watermelon?
No wonder it's so heavy.

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

Ivory, spices, pearls.
In Qiongzhou, it is rare.

All the civil and military people felt strange in their hearts.

Good things, other than being rare, don't have much value.

Especially those worthless crops.

What the hell does emperor mean?
Dian Chu was already happy in his heart.

There are radishes in it!
"It's not over yet."

Liu Ke smiled and clapped his hands:
"All come in!"

After a while, a group of orchids wearing veils wriggled their enchanting figures and walked slowly into the hall.

"During the court meeting, how can it be?"

"Oh, I can't bear this!"

"The old minister can't afford it."

Veteran ministers like Lian Hansheng are mostly blindfolded.

But the five fingers are open.

Like Xiao Yuanchang, the more serious courtiers did not look sideways.

Even more repeated remonstrance.

And like Shi Hai and Xue Jia, who don't hide their temperament much, their faces are flushed.

I almost didn't hug it.

Especially Shi Hai.

He was fooled by the emperor, the hundred maids who promised him were all old and crooked.

Sending it to his mansion saved a lot of expenses for the palace, just like cleaning up the inventory!
Xue Jia frantically stretched out her hand to touch it.

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

Liu Ke looked at it, feeling sorry for these orchids.

A sick and rich man like Xue Jia is also good-looking, Mr. Pian Pian, isn't he the best son-in-law?

Hey, the layout of the barbarians is indeed a bit worse.

"Your Majesty, the world has not yet been settled, so don't be overjoyed!"

The upright ministers like Xiao Yuanchang, in the eyes of Hu Ji's dress, still persuaded her.

I'm afraid that the emperor will slack off because of his temporary victory.

Now only a few states have been recovered, and it is still a long way from the capital of Chang'an, and even the recovery of the world!

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

"You all know that I admire Emperor Xiaowu the most."

"Then someone can tell me."

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