Previously, Liu Chang did have the idea of ​​making Zhang Liang the prime minister, but after Chen Ping took the initiative to recommend Zhang Liang, Liu Chang gave up this plan.

Because he felt that Chen Ping wanted to increase the strength of Lao Chen. Although Chen Ping seemed to be closest to Liu Chang, in fact, he was also a member of Lao Chen. However, his teammates had now left the temple, and the remaining ministers were facing

Liu Chang does not pose much of a threat, and he does not even regard Chen Ping as one of his own.

He took Zhao Ping as his prime minister to avoid the appearance of two think tanks in the court who he could not deal with.

But now that Liu An said this, Liu Chang began to hesitate again.

Could it be that Chen Ping recommended Zhang Liang on purpose? Although Zhang Liang is also an experienced minister, he has a very good relationship with the Queen Mother, unlike other ministers. Moreover, he has always shown that he has no pursuits and can retire in peace.

But thinking about it, Liu Chang couldn't help but wonder, did Zhang Liang deliberately let An Lai tell him this and let him think this way?

After layer upon layer of rings, Liu Chang only felt a headache.

"You can just study with him with peace of mind and don't worry about these things!"

Liu An was about to take a rest when Liu Chang pulled him over and said, "Go out for a walk with me!"

Liu An followed Liu Chang with a cute expression. Liu Chang was big and fast, so Liu An had to trot quickly to keep up with his father.

Liu Chang stopped at a pavilion and looked at the rockery in the distance. Liu An was panting and wiping sweat.

"An... you are still young... some things are not as simple as you see."

"Huh? What do you mean, father?"

Liu Chang picked him up and held An with his right hand, "An, do you know why I am here?"

"My father wants to govern the big man!"

"Actually, I just want to protect my family..."

"As for governing the Han Dynasty, that is only my current responsibility, not my original wish."

"No matter what Liu Hou teaches you...you must remember that a real man must protect his own home first and foremost, and his family..."

An was very smart and knew what Liu Chang meant almost as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Father, I won't follow Master or the others and become bad."

"Hahaha, Liuhou is not bad in the first place, so naturally he will not teach you bad things..."

The father and son were blowing the wind quietly. Liu An wanted to speak several times, but did not speak.

"You have to study hard... When I go out to fight in the future, you will be able to rule this country."

"Um!"

"Are you hungry?"

When the two of them returned to the palace, Cao Shu saw two shiny faces under the candlelight.

"Did you sneak out to eat?"

"No."

They both answered in unison, shaking their heads.

Fan Qing came forward and smelled it, "You just ate it secretly!"

Then he turned to look at Cao Shu, "Sister! They went out to eat without me!"

Cao Shu looked at her three children and felt really helpless.

...

"Good boy."

Queen Lu smiled and looked at the two little guys who came to pay her respects, and she was in a very good mood.

Lu Lu and Fan Kang were also very well-behaved at the moment, and they did not show their usual irritability at all.

"aunt!"

"This time I went on an expedition and killed more than thirty thieves without embarrassing my father!"

Fan Kang said proudly.

Empress Lu chuckled lightly, "Okay, you have the style of Wuyang Marquis!"

Lu Lu was a little anxious and said quickly: "Aunt! I killed a Huns Guduhou!"

"Well, not bad, not bad."

Fan Kang continued: "I even captured a Xiongnu king alive!" After saying that, he looked at Lu Lu proudly.

"I...killed a Guduhou."

"I led my men to capture 700 horses!"

"I...Guduhou..."

"I also captured Dagu's banner!"

"...."

Seeing the two of them competing, Empress Lu shook her head helplessly. Empress Lu was very gentle to the children of the family except Liu Ying. She wanted several titles for Liu Le's children, and several of the Lu family's children. The same is true for all the children. They were pampered in every possible way, but only Liu Ying and his children... were not very liked by Empress Lu.

Of course, Empress Lu still loved a legitimate grandson like Ru Xiang, although it was not as good as An, who raised her personally. As for the other children, Empress Lu basically treated them as strangers, without any warmth, just like she treated Liu Fei. Liu Ruyi and the others are almost the same.

"Kang...although you are brave, your father is not only famous for his bravery."

"Your father is a famous general with both wisdom and courage. You should always study and imitate your father."

Fan Kang stood up immediately and answered Wei.

Empress Lu looked at Lu again. Lu was indeed not suitable for the military. However, this time he had military merit and could be promoted. "Lu, you will serve in the court in the future, and you need to study more... You can't delay the country." It’s a big deal, do you understand?”

"only!"

Empress Lu then sent the two boys away. She looked at the attendant beside her and said, "Where's An? Why didn't you come today?"

"Young Master An and Young Master Xiang, Young Master Qi left the palace."

"Oh, these guys..."

Empress Lu shook her head and said indifferently: "I have always thought that King Wu was the smartest among the princes. I never thought that he would resort to such small means just because he rashly went to war with South Vietnam for fear of being jealous of the temple and sending him to prison. His son came to Chang'an to imitate the king of Chu, but the king of Chu could send the prince to study in Chang'an... When the king of Wu sent his son, he also sent a fifth son who was not valued."

"His methods are inferior to even the King of Chu."

The attendant did not dare to answer, but lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty is brave, and King Wu should be afraid."

"It's not the elder he's afraid of, it's me he's afraid of."

"However, I personally selected his wives and concubines for him, and his biological mother is also very close to me..."

The Queen Mother still didn't have much fear of King Wu. This time he secretly went to war with South Vietnam without informing the temple, which did make the Queen Mother a little unhappy. However, after seeing a letter sent by King Wu to apologize to Liu Chang, he sent his son After coming to Chang'an, Empress Lu was no longer so angry.

Maybe it's because of his attitude, or maybe because he looks down on his methods.

........

Surrounded by soldiers, the King of Nanyue stood up and stared at the enemy in the distance.

Zhao Tuo never thought that after planning for so long, his own son would ruin it all.

As early as when Liu Chang entered Chang'an, he realized that he needed to change his attitude towards the big man. In the past, South Vietnam was respectful but not approachable to the big man. He showed respect but was not close and did not allow the big man to fully extend his hand. Among South Vietnam, they only surrendered on the surface and cooperated in business to avoid being controlled by the Han Dynasty.

But Liu Chang was different.

Zhao Tuo was very aware of this guy's bad character. He was very fond of achievements and was aggressive in military affairs. Once he took charge of power, he would definitely launch a war and declare war on enemies on all sides. If South Vietnam continued to maintain its original attitude, that guy would definitely kill himself. South Vietnam was destroyed.

What's more, the Han Dynasty is developing faster and faster, and the gap with the South Vietnam Kingdom is gradually widening. The best way Zhao Tuo can think of is to send an envoy to beat the leader and then surrender. In this way, he may become The only man with a different surname in the Han Dynasty was Wang.

As for the White Horse Alliance of Emperor Gao, it restricted the kings of the Central Plains. It had no requirements for the countries outside the Great Wall such as Fujian, Yue, and South Vietnam. After all, the Yuezhi King also belonged to a king with a different surname. At the time of the White Horse Alliance, the Changsha King Even right there.

However, Zhao Tuo really did not expect that as soon as he sent his grandson away, his son almost sent him away.

Zhao Tuo couldn't help but look at Zhao Shi, who was being escorted by soldiers. Zhao Shi had disheveled hair, his shirt had been taken off, and there were whip marks all over his body. As the prince of Zhao Tuo, Zhao Shi had always regarded South Vietnam as He was very dissatisfied with his father's always compromising attitude. He thought that he was protected by nature and that the big man was nothing.

His idea was naturally recognized by many generals in South Vietnam. Just because Zhao Tuo was so prestigious, even Zhao Shi, as the prince, did not dare to go against his father. Later, he had sons Zhao Quan and Zhao Tuo He liked his grandson very much and thought he had abilities that surpassed his father's, so he trained him as his successor.

Zhao Shi was not dissatisfied with his father's actions. He also liked his smart son very much and doted on him.

However, when he knew that his father was going to send Zhao Mei to Chang'an, he could no longer bear it.

Firstly, it was because he doted on his son, and secondly, he was unwilling to let South Vietnam completely surrender to the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, he planned to rob and kill the King of Wu, so that there was no possibility of peace between South Vietnam and the Han Dynasty, so that my father would never be able to join the Han Dynasty.

However, he overestimated himself and underestimated his opponent.

King Wu was worrying about how to open their border, when he saw this fool leading his army and charging over stupidly.

King Wu could have caught him on the spot, but he did not do so. He deliberately let this fool go, chased his army, ambushed the reinforcements, drove away the defeated soldiers, and helped them break through the barriers all the way until they were broken one after another. After three passes, Zhao Tuo finally arrived and caught Zhao Shi on the spot who was about to lead Wu State all the way to the capital.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo felt heartbroken.

As the prince of South Vietnam, Zhao Shi wanted to enter the pass, and the soldiers guarding the pass did not dare not to open the door, nor did they dare not to rescue him. Such a rescue gave Wu an opportunity to take advantage of, and he lost three passes in a row. !

Zhao Tuo felt his scalp numb, but fortunately he didn't pass his seat to this guy.

If this guy becomes the king of South Vietnam, how many days can the South Vietnam country last, or will it fall the next day?

The four passes in South Vietnam, Hengpu Pass, Yupu Pass, Yangshan Pass, and Huangxi Pass, are known as the Tianguan Pass. They only need to be guarded by more than a thousand soldiers, and no one can easily break through. These four passes cut off four roads to South Vietnam. South Vietnam has three lines of defense, all centered on these four levels.
