Section 722 The hesitant Zhao Hu
The royal palace of Nanyue is very similar to the layout of the Weiyang Palace of Ancheng of the Han Dynasty.
There are even some places that are completely copycat Han Weiyang Palace layout.
For example, its court, like Chang'an, has a layout similar to the three palaces of Chang'an Weiyang, Changle, and the Prince.
The location of the palace complex where Zhao Tuo's office and living place on weekdays almost overlaps with the location of Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City.
The two palaces of Han Weiyang and Changle laid the foundation with the soil of Longshou Mountain, which was higher than Chang'an City, so as to show the majesty of the emperor.
South Vietnam did not have such good technology.
So the craftsmen of South Vietnam simply built the royal palace on the mountain.
Under the eaves of the palace, the design of the Han Weiyang Palace was completely copied, and it was paved with pebbles used to disperse water around it.
Lu Yuan looked at these inexplicably familiar palace furnishings, and the corners of his mouth also smiled slightly.
As his grandfather said: 'Although Wang Tuo calls himself the Great Elder of the Barbarians, his heart is really the ...... of Zhuxia'
If you really want to be Yidi, this Nanyue Royal Palace will not be like this.
It will inevitably be like Wei Manchu Joseon, proud of being sent to the left and not using the Chinese writing system.
Under the guidance of the palace eunuchs, Lu Yuan arrived in the main hall of the palace.
"Angel please ......" The eunuch who led the way pushed open the door of the hall and said to Lu Yuan: "The grandson is in the palace to listen to the edict of the Son of Heaven......"
When Lu Yuan heard this, he straightened his clothes, picked up a silk book, and walked into the hall.
This hall was already full of ministers and nobles of the Nanyue Kingdom.
These people looked at Lu Yuan, and their eyes were full of resentment and resentment.
Lu Yuan looked at these people and smiled at the corner of his mouth. Holding the silk book, raise your head and chest. Zhengse said: "The edict of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the edict of the monarch and the ministers of Nanyue receive the edict!" ”
Not to mention these South Vietnamese ministers and nobles.
It is Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue. In the face of the edict of the Son of Heaven of the Han family, he must also kneel down obediently and listen to it.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Tuo will excuse his illness and send his grandson out to receive the edict.
"Minister, Nanyue Wang's grandson, listen to the holy oracle!" From the seat at the head of the hall, a young man from the royal family of South Vietnam stepped down, and he stepped down from the throne and prostrated into the hall. Bow down three times.
Seeing that the grandsons had already knelt, the other South Vietnamese nobles and ministers looked at each other, and then reluctantly knelt down and said, "The ministers listen to the holy oracle!" ”
Lu Yuan spread out the silk book and read: "I take the king of the world as the parents of the people, and I am ordered by heaven to be the protector of the world." In the past, it was decreed to all the countries of the world: those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away from the ends of the earth! Now I heard that there were ministers in South Vietnam. Killing my people without permission, he ordered the king of Nanyue to obey my orders and immediately collect the murderer. Send officials to arrest the culprit, and I will send Tingwei, Taichang and Changsha Wang Taifu to deal with this case! ”
With Lu Yuan's voice. The South Vietnamese ministers and nobles in the palace were all angry. Someone even clucked their fists.
This edict of the Chinese emperor is really too bullying!
The legal system and political structure of the Kingdom of South Vietnam. The Qin system was copied exactly.
They naturally know what it means to be a miscellaneous treatment.
The so-called miscellaneous governance, that is, when the Son of Heaven is faced with some doubtful cases or serious cases, in order to convince the people of the world, he orders the relevant departments, often multiple important ministers of the Nine Emperors, and even sometimes the prime minister will take the lead, jointly try the case, and then report the results to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven will make the final decision.
This is a legal guarantee to avoid unjust, false and wrongly decided cases and the occurrence of major political incidents.
Although it seems that the order of the Chinese emperor is justified and advantageous.
But in reality, once South Vietnam accepted this order, it was tantamount to opening the door to the superiority of Chinese law over South Vietnamese law.
What's more, the emperor's edict did not mention at all that the subjects of South Vietnam were allowed to participate in the trial.
In other words, when the time comes, the Chinese minister can completely reverse black and white right and wrong, or even frame up and put all the blame on South Vietnam.
At that time, South Vietnam will be in a state of great passivity.
Even Lu Yuan felt that this order of the Son of Heaven was too strong, and I was afraid that it would be difficult for the South Vietnamese to accept it.
I'm afraid that this is also the purpose of the Son of Heaven - the Han family pays attention to punishment without teaching and is abuse.
Under the guidance of this guiding ideology of military diplomacy and internal affairs, the imperial court has always saluted first and then soldiers, and taught first and then punished.
This was the case with the invasion of North Korea the year before last.
Now, for South Vietnam, in general, it is also taking the road to deal with North Korea - let me tell you first, this is a red line, you can't step on it, and if you still have to step on it, you will die yourself.
As for this red line, whether others accept it or not, whether they are willing or not, is another matter.
In short, the imperial court will inevitably maintain the minimum principle of hands-on and ostensibly dress itself up as the embodiment of justice.
"The monarchs and ministers of Nanyue, you should know what I mean, so as not to have the sad song of Mai Xiu, this is not what I want!" After reading the last sentence, Lu Yuan put away the silk book and said, "Wang Tuo of Nanyue, please accept the edict!" ”
Zhao Hu raised his head and looked at Lu Yuan, the 'Tragic Song of Mai Xiu' mentioned in the edict of the Son of Heaven, Zhao Hu naturally knew what it meant.
The so-called micron is sad after passing through the homeland, and it is a song of wheat show.
There is no doubt that this is already the most severe warning from the Chinese Son of Heaven.
Zhao Hu, who was familiar with the Han family system, knew very well that if he refused to accept the conditions of the Han Emperor, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the Han Emperor!
Now, who can stop the Han army?
Zhao Hu remembered the appearance and weapons and equipment of the Han army he had seen in Chang'an.
He knew, and clearly understood, that once the elite of the Han army went south, the Nanyue Kingdom, although it was known as connecting Nanling in the north and narrowing in the south, more than 10,000 miles from east to west, but in fact, it was still almost like paste.
China's national strength, military strength, weapons and equipment, personnel quality, and combat effectiveness all far surpass South Vietnam.
What's more, the Chinese Son of Heaven was born sacred, commanded by heaven, and helped by the gods, which is a fact recognized by the Yue people.
Nowadays, in the counties and tribes under the rule of South Vietnam, I don't know how many people worship the sacrifice of the Son of Heaven at home, praying in the direction of Chang'an every day, asking the Son of Heaven who can foresee disasters and communicate with ghosts and gods to bless him.
Under such circumstances, I am afraid that whether the army will have the courage to resist in the face of the Han army's attack will also draw a big question mark.
In all probability. Once the two armies face each other, the battle will be slightly unfavorable. This army will immediately have a great escape.
Countless god-believing soldiers will drop their weapons and equipment. Either run home, or run to the Han military camp tent opposite, kneel on the ground and ask for surrender.
At that time, I am afraid that the South Vietnamese Sheji will soon face the danger of overturning, and in the future, he, the grandson of the king, will really be like a microson in history, sad and tearful when he sees his homeland. Feeling nostalgic for the mountains and rivers.
"Mencius said: You are the Son of Heaven, and your death is not as good as a husband!" Thinking of the words of Mencius that he had seen in the book, Zhao Hu also sighed in his heart.
The lord of the world, such as the King of Lian, once he is condemned to the heavens, when he is about to die, he will be as messy as a puppet.
Naturally, South Vietnam must not embark on such a dead end!
But......
Zhao Hu remembered the bottom line that his grandfather told him this morning - he could hand over his head, but not people.
If possible, it's best not to even hand over your head.
Of course, things have come to this point. Those guys are going to die.
Otherwise, the emperor of the Han Dynasty would not be able to hang his face.
And, between my grandfather's bottom line and the edict of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, there is such a distance of 108,000 miles!
This can no longer be resolved by negotiation, plea, and forgiveness.
Think of it this way. Zhao Hu bowed his head and said: "Angel Rongyu: The grandfather of the minister, he has been unwell recently, can you allow the angel to forgive a few days." When the minister's grandfather looks at the government, the minister will reply with the angel? ”
Now. What South Vietnam lacks most is time!
As long as you can delay enough time, you can open up certain relationships. Let people go and say good things to the Son of Heaven, this matter, maybe there is still room for reversal.
It's nothing more than a broken fortune.
The eldest princess of Chang'an and the nobles of the court are famous for taking money to do things, and they are not bullied, and they are the most fair and honest.
What's more, recently, through his younger brother Yelangguo, Nanyue has also established some relationships with the relatives of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Cheng Zheng of Linqiong and Zhuo, and carried out some business cooperation.
For example, exporting labor, bringing in investment, and so on.
In the jungle of Jiaozhi, a large number of savages and tribes and barbarians who are not subordinate to Panyu are all resources that those two big men urgently need.
And the Nanyue Kingdom is also extremely welcoming to the high-quality and low-priced ironware of Shu County.
Take those unruly savages and barbarians who refuse to surrender to Panyu to exchange ironware with Shu County, such a deal, in recent years, the cooperation between the two parties is very pleasant.
Not long ago, his grandfather was even preparing to send an envoy to invite those two nobles to come to South Vietnam to invest in construction and give preferential policies.
It's a pity that before I could get in touch, such a thing happened!
Otherwise, if there is such a relationship, South Vietnam's recital may be able to go straight to the Son of Heaven's case and state his grievances to the Son of Heaven.
Well, in Zhao Hu's opinion, South Vietnam is really wronged this time!
Even, it is very likely that he was framed.
It is a pity that the mastermind behind the scenes preemptively sued the wicked, causing South Vietnam to fall into today's predicament.
Those merchants were indeed killed by South Vietnamese soldiers.
But - the South Vietnamese soldiers who went to kill people were entrusted by others.
As far as Zhao Hu knows, in the past few years, since the establishment of a common market with the Han Dynasty re-developing comprehensive trade with South Vietnam, many Han merchants entered South Vietnam to sell their goods.
These people competed with each other, and if they couldn't play well, they would come to the next level, hire 'heroes' to intercept and kill competitors on the wilderness roads, and even bribe South Vietnamese officials to frame them, and do everything they can.
However, in the past, similar methods were used in South Vietnam.
The victims have basically become corpses, and corpses will not be sued.
But this time, something went wrong.
I don't know how it was done, but in short, a group of South Vietnamese officers and soldiers who took people's money and used them to eliminate disasters for others encountered an iron plate, and not only did they not succeed in intercepting and killing, but they were bitten hard by the other side.
Originally, this matter was probably settled.
However, the South Vietnamese soldiers who ran back brought a terrible news back to their immediate superiors.
Those Han merchants who were intercepted and killed threatened to go to Chang'an to sue the emperor, let the Han Emperor uphold justice, and severely punish 'the South Vietnamese thieves who indulged the officers and soldiers and robbed and killed the merchants'.
And the boss of these South Vietnamese soldiers happened to be the nephew of South Vietnamese Prime Minister Lu Jia, Lieutenant Lu Dao of South Vietnam.
According to Lu Dao's own confession, he was 'confused for a while' because he was "afraid that the Son of Heaven would condemn him, so he died out."
But when he went to the Han Dynasty City, he could only say that this Lu Dao was a brain-dead!
However, everything has already happened.
Even if Lu Dao's body is broken into thousands of pieces, there is no way to recover it.
As long as he thought of this, Zhao Hu couldn't wait to send someone to chop that Lu Dao into meat puree immediately!
Lu Yuan looked at Zhao Hu's sincere appearance and sighed in his heart.
If it had been Zhao Hu's request before, of course he would readily agree.
But now......
Lu Yuan knew very well that if he dared to agree, the kings of Qilu and local celebrities would be able to tear him apart.
The Lu family's decades-long reputation and accumulated connections are about to be wiped out.
"Wang Tuo of Nanyue, please accept the edict!" Lu Yuan repeated his words unhurriedly.
He knew that that would be enough.
Zhao Tuo must know the meaning of his words.
The only way for the South Vietnamese to survive at present is to obediently accept the edict.
In this way, although he may lose some face, he will be reduced to a vassal state of the Han family from now on - the real one.
But at the very least, the South Vietnamese Sheji and Jong Miao were preserved.
In the future, the Nanyue royal family, to say the least, can also mix with the treatment of Wu Qi, the king of Changsha, hereditary replacement, Yongzhen Panyu.
Of course, most of the local civil affairs and military and diplomatic powers must be handed over to the central government, and at least they must be guided by Chang'an.
If the monarch and minister of Nanyue refuse to obey the edict.
Well, this is against the Son of Heaven!
If you are condemned to heaven, there is no prayer!
Three mountains and five mountains, heroes and heroes from all over the world, will gather under the banner of the Han army from all directions, the building ships go down the river, and the departments cross the five mountains and go straight to Panyu.
At that time, the earth will shake and the mountains will shake, and the king of heaven will not be able to save South Vietnam.
Lu Yuan knew very well how determined the kings of Qilu were this time?
Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, and his brothers, in order to find a fiefdom for their sons, were able to smash pots and sell iron, support the Han army to destroy South Vietnam, and take the whole of South Vietnam!
And the local nobles and nobles are even more flowing, and they also hope to replicate the story of Huaihua's grace order in South Vietnam.
If it is not enough, you must also eat some slaves and maids to stuff your stomach.
As for the princes and generals of the imperial court, their desire for military merit was as urgent as the arid land longed for the moisture of rain.
Countless sons and daughters of the princes, everyone is gearing up, and they are all ready to make a military exploit.
In such a situation, the monarchs and ministers of Nanyue had to first accept the edict of the Son of Heaven to show their absolute surrender and determination not to resist the will of the Son of Heaven, and then, slowly, bribe the nobles of the court and the central government with wealth, especially the East Palace, to say good things in front of the Son of Heaven, and at the same time appease the public opinion and civil affairs that are now jumping up and down in Chang'an.
Otherwise, the army is already ready to attack.
Zhao Hu looked at Lu Yuan, but was stunned.
He kept his head down, and it was hard to decide.
After all, he is only a grandson, not the master of this country.
The decisions he makes don't necessarily count.
If he takes the edict and turns back to his grandfather to veto, it will inevitably lead to the situation getting out of control.
Even if the grandfather finally cared about the situation and pinched his nose and admitted it.
But his position as the son of the world may also be empty - the nobles in the country, especially the leaders of the Baiyue clans, will definitely be extremely dissatisfied with his performance! (To be continued.) )
PS: The first update is sent, and today I will continue to guarantee 10,000 words, asking for a monthly pass~~~
PS: The layout and structure of the Nanyue palace are based on Chang'an, and always keep up with the latest changes in the Chang'an court, which has archaeological evidence, and now there is a museum in Guangzhou, which is the exhibition hall of the ruins of the Nanyue Palace
