Section 746 Zhao Tuo's Entry into the Dynasty (3)
"Weiqiao has arrived at ......"
Zhao Tuo lifted the curtain, stood up with some excitement, and looked at the bridge across the Wei River in the distance.
"Weiqiao, ah......"
For every general and nobleman who had been loyal to the Black Dragon Banner of the Qin Empire, Weiqiao's status in their minds was second only to the cultivation and warfare system brought by the Shang Monarch and the Win Clan.
This is because, in a sense, this bridge is the symbol of the Great Qin Empire.
In the Qin period, whether it was a galloping road or a straight road, whether it was a new road in the south, or a huizhong road in the north, or a five-foot road in the mountains in the southwest. (Note 1)
All roads, and eventually their terminus, are in Weiqiao.
The Great Qin Empire took advantage of this to control the whole country under its control.
In that year, after Zhao Tuo decided to become independent, the first order he issued was to burn the new checkpoints, fall boulders, and block the spiritual canal, so as to block all the rebels from China or the envoys who came to transfer troops.
In addition, this bridge is not just a terminal for the world's road traffic.
In the hearts of the Qin generals and nobles, it was also a symbol of the hegemony and prosperity of the Qin Empire.
This bridge, which has been built since the reign of King Zhao, has witnessed the glory and strength of the entire Qin Empire.
Bai Qi, Wang Jian Mengtian, Zhang Yi, Lu Buwei Lisi, and a famous minister and general of the Great Qin Empire, all once stopped on the Wei Bridge, facing the surging Wei River, expressing their emotions.
Therefore, when the first emperor rebuilt the Wei Bridge, he specially ordered the department to take the 'law, heaven and earth' as the design idea of the Wei Bridge project.
After the reconstruction, the Weiqiao has tripled in size.
From a bridge for the noble residents of Xianyang to enter and exit, it has become a transportation hub that spans the north and south of the Wei River and connects the world.
The Wei Bridge after the re-inauguration. It became one of the symbols of the Qin Empire.
The so-called 'Weishui runs through the capital, like Tianhan (Milky Way), crosses the bridge to the south, and takes the cow by law'.
The First Emperor loved this bridge very much, and once praised and said: I set the four poles of the week, and the longitude and latitude of the world. Three kings and five emperors, which one compares with it?
After 70 years, I once again saw this symbol of the old country that spans the north and south of the Wei River.
Zhao Tuo felt that his eyes were a little moist.
Just looking around, the Qin Palace Qin tile of the year has now become a Han brick in Seoul.
"Mai Xiu is gradually dying, and he is oily ......and oily," Zhao Tuo sighed and groaned: "He is cunning and childish, and he is not good with me......"
At this moment, Zhao Tuo finally found out. He turned out to be still the Great Qin Rider, the dragon and the commander of Nanhai County.
This is the so-called old and young.
The convoy drove past the Wei Bridge, and the bridge deck creaked with the wheels pressing.
Under the bridge, the Wei River, which flows endlessly, flows eastward.
The bridge is still the familiar bridge, and the old country is no longer the familiar old country.
Even, the whole world. may be left with him, the last Qin general and Qin official.
made Zhao Tuo feel extremely lonely, and he wanted to look up to the sky and howl: the sky. Who is this?! impulse.
When the convoy drove across the Weiqiao, the majestic and magnificent Chang'an City was already close at hand.
Zhao Tuo looked back at the south on the other side.
The ruins hidden in the mountains, beneath the brick shards.
He seemed to see that the black dragon flag was fluttering in the wind. The familiar Xianyang City is standing in the morning sun.
There seemed to be cheering people on the city, and the smell of wine and drunkenness all over the city were supporting each other. Comrades and siblings with mouth cannons.
He looked back and forward, and the majestic Chang'an city wall was already in plain sight.
"Chang'an Township......" Zhao Tuo said in a low voice.
Seventy years ago, the place where the city was located was still a manor and countryside surrounding the Qin Palace.
"No...... This is Chang'an City! ”
Now, this suburban village of Xianyang City in the past, the countryside outside Xingle Palace, is now China's Shenjing, the capital of the Han Dynasty!
History has always been so ruthless!
Shangdu Chaoge, Zong Zhou Haojing, Qin capital Xianyang.
The former capital of Fengyi, the center of the world, has all been buried under the ruins, and Maixiu Sufeng.
Zhao Tuo knew that it was time to say goodbye to the past.
Now, it's the world of Han!
………………………………
"King, the Son of Heaven went out of the city to welcome the Hajj of the Great Dynasty, please get off the ......"
An official of the Han Dynasty, riding a horse, came to Zhao Tuo's car and said.
Zhao Tuo raised his eyes and looked at him, knowing that this person was Taichang of the Han Dynasty, and his current cousin Nanpihou Dou Pengzu.
and he is also an old man.
Back then, Dou Pengzu's father, Dou Changjun, had a letter with him.
I have to admit that Dou Changjun's writing is very good, and the letters he writes are full of emotion, which almost moved him.
But......
Moved, can't be eaten as a meal.
Just like his emotion and sigh.
At his age, his feelings and feelings can no longer control his thinking and decision.
If it weren't for the fact that the Han family is strong and reigning in the world now, the Han Emperor has signs of being ordered by the sky.
No matter how moved he is, no matter how emotional, no matter how embarrassed he is.
After all, it will only be moved, sighed and sighed.
It never turns into action.
"Please return to the Son of Heaven too often-" Zhao Tuo sat in the car and arched his hand: "The great elder of the barbarians, fortunately, His Majesty will not give up, not be despicable to the ministers, and go out of the city to greet him, so that the ministers are grateful, and I wish the eternal ministers of the Han family to repay His Majesty's kindness!" ”
"The king's affection really makes me admire, and I will report it to the Son of Heaven!" Dou Pengzu bowed back, and then he said, "Please get off the king and walk to make a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven!" ”
"No!" Zhao Tuo bowed again, and then with the support of the eunuch attendants in his entourage, he got up with difficulty and got out of the car.
Then, tremblingly, he leaned on crutches, bowed step by step, and said loudly: "The Great Elder of the Barbarians entrusts me to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Son of Heaven......"
His voice was very loud, not at all like his old body.
When he was young, there was a rider from the east, holding the Son of Heaven's Day, and said: "The Son of Heaven has an edict: Emperor Gao, the king of Nanyue, is personally sealed, Taizong Changjia, known as the elder of the southern country, and he gives a few rods, and he praises and worships the name!" Not trending! ”
Zhao Tuo heard this. Hurriedly trembled and said: "Your Majesty's holy grace, the minister admires the five inside, and I respectfully serve the edict......"
Well, all of a sudden, I threw the mantra of the so-called 'Barbarian Great Elder Chentuo' to the country of Java.
Then, with a shudder, he got up and was supported by his attendants. Pacing slowly.
…………………………
Liu Che sat on the royal bowl and watched the performance not far away.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Old fox ......," Liu Che scolded with a smile in his heart.
Who is Zhao Tuo?
served by the side of Qin Shi Huang, followed the Qin army, destroyed Chu and destroyed Qi, and then turned to Baiyue, after seventy years of wind and rain, and still survived a mixture of heroes and heroes.
This kind of person, soaring acting skills, Oscar actor Xiao Lizi also has to kneel!
"Let's play music!" Liu Che waved his hand and said.
Instantly. The chimes rang and the sheng and zither played together.
Dozens of boys sang the song Qin Feng in a Qin accent. Weiyang.
"I sent my uncle's family, said to Weiyang, why give it away? Road car ride yellow! ”
"I sent my uncle's family, said to Weiyang, why give it away? Qiong Jewel Jade Pendant! ”
This is the song that Liu Che personally selected to welcome Zhao Tuo, and Liu Che believes that Zhao Tuo will hear this familiar Qin Feng. You ought to know his thoughts.
Between the summers. No matter what, it's also a fellow relative who broke his bones and tendons!
Even if it is a hatred like Wu Yue and a feud like Qin Chu, today, it is already a grudge against each other.
Not to mention South Vietnam?
The wanderer returns home, no matter how unfilial and nonsense he is outside. His mother would serve him a bowl of sweet corn porridge.
"I hope Zhao Tuo can know and understand my kindness......" Liu Che thought in his heart
………………………………
Zhao Tuo was supported by the attendants and paced slowly.
Obviously, he was pretending.
Not only he knows it, but the people around him also know it.
This is him relying on the old and selling the old. Tried and tested tricks.
However, when the music sounded, Zhao Tuo suddenly stopped.
"I sent my uncle's family, said to Weiyang, why give it away? Road car ride yellow! The boys' crisp and innocent voices sent this Qin Feng out of ten miles.
Zhao Tuo suddenly laughed.
"I sent my uncle's family, said to Weiyang, why give it away? Qiong Jewel Jade Pendant! ”
"This is Emperor Gao's singing ......," Zhao Tuo asked Taichang Dou Pengzu on the side.
Who else in the world can afford to organize, or can organize, such a choir of boys?
Except for Emperor Gao Liu Bang, no one has that qualification!
Liu Bang loved to sing during his lifetime, so after his death, the successive generations of the Han family would select dozens or more than 100 children aged five to eleven from the land of abundance, carefully teach, and let them sing the songs he loved for Liu Bang on the fifteenth day of each month in the Gaomiao and Changling Emperor's Mausoleum and the original temple in Pei County.
Therefore, today, in the Han family, the princes and generals are the prime ministers, and no one dares to raise a singing boy class.
The singing boy and Liu's crown are the only taboos in the Han family.
Today, in order to welcome him, the emperor of the Liu family actually transferred the imperial choir of the high emperor.
This sincerity, Zhao Tuo is not blind, so he naturally understands it.
And the meaning of this Qin Feng, Zhao Tuo, is as clear as a mirror in his heart.
Wu Yue is still in the same boat, not to mention South Vietnam and Han?
Zhao Tuo only thought about it in his heart for a moment, then immediately threw away his crutches, opened the support of his attendants, strode forward, knelt in front of the honor guard of the Son of Heaven in front of him, and bowed: "Old minister Zhao Tuo, King of Nanyue, respectfully ask Your Majesty Sheng'an!" ”
It's not that he was really moved, and he was willing to be the loyal dog of the Liu family from now on, pointing and biting.
It is impossible for such a situation to happen to a person of his age and status.
Even, it can be said that even if the First Emperor walked out of Lishan, he may not be the same as back then, obediently lying at the feet of others, and the First Emperor can pick up the sword and charge into battle with a word.
After more than 60 years of self-established king, Zhao Tuo is no longer the original Great Qin Rider, the loyal attendant of the First Emperor.
Of course, there are naturally some touches.
Since ancient times, looking through the history books, there has not been the Chinese Son of Heaven who has been so kind and valued a courtier who came to the court.
Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum.
Since the Chinese Liu Emperor's son expressed his kindness, if he still doesn't know how to repay his kindness, he still wants to play tricks.
Not to mention what the world thinks, what the Liu family thinks, he himself will not be able to pass this level first.
If you give me face, then I will definitely give you face too!
Just like back then, Han Taizong gave him face very much, so he immediately gave Taizong face, went to the emperor's title, called the minister, paid tribute, and held the prince's name, and even called himself the 'Barbarian Elder'.
Taizong's face was immediately satisfied.
Then, hello me, hello everyone!
Now, the Son of Heaven of the Han family has given him enough face, so of course he must also give the other party.
In this way, at the very least, the image of a courtier, well-behaved and loyal minister is established.
As long as he doesn't die, the monarch of Chang'an will greet him with good food and drink.
As for other things......
It depends......
Of course, listening to the familiar and unfamiliar Qin Feng, deep in Zhao Tuo's heart, there is no 'In the future, he will always be Hanchen, Nanyue and Han, become one, and be all summers and respect the Son of Heaven. 'Thoughts.
It's just that, as the lord of South Vietnam, he has long understood that his personal responsibility is not only his personal net worth.
There are also the joys and sorrows of millions of people in South Vietnam, and the joys and sorrows of the children and fathers of the people in South Vietnam are all pressed on him.
If you are touched, you have to give your life to the other party? Or even a loyal dog?
Where can it be so simple!
If he was really so easy to fool, Lu Jia Loujing would have taken him to the ditch long ago.
"The Son of Heaven has an edict: Elder Wang, who is respected by the world, please move and see you!" A eunuch walked out of the guard of honor and sang a promise.
Then, there was a group of heavily armored cavalry, slowly driving out of the honor guard, lined up on both sides of the road, these cavalry, holding the bright Mo knife in their hands, put it on their chests, and said in unison: "Your Majesty ordered the king of Nanyue to enter the Hajj!" ”
Zhao Tuo looked at these heavy-armored cavalry honor guards with cold light flashing all over their bodies, and was stunned for a while.
Such cavalry, even if it was the elite of Great Qin of the First Emperor in the past, did not have it!
Although I don't know how powerful such a cavalry is on the battlefield.
But there is one thing, Zhao Tuo can be sure that after a hundred such cavalry form a formation, even if it is ten times and a hundred times the enemy, I am afraid that they will be helpless.
In South Vietnam, there were no weapons or armies that could restrain and resist such cavalry.
So, no matter how well this cavalry behaves in real combat.
Once it is taken out, it is placed on the battlefield and used as a barrier for the Chinese army.
The Han army was already invincible.
For an invincible army, the only thing left to consider is how to win.
Walking in the steel corridor composed of cavalry, Zhao Tuo observed the spirit and equipment of these cavalry as he walked.
He had to admit that just the discipline and obedience of these soldiers he had seen were not much different from the light soldiers of the Qiang Qin period.
And the light soldiers, in the Qin army sequence, have always been known for their strict discipline and fearlessness of death.
They were the first to defeat the defense line of the Zhao army in the Battle of Changping, and successfully completed the task of cutting off Zhao Kuo's retreat and grain route.
Today, in the entire South Vietnamese country, even if they are scraped together, they cannot gather 500 soldiers of such quality and discipline.
After all, how vast is China?
Although his Nanyue country is known as more than 10,000 miles from east to west and thousands of miles from north to south.
However, it is actually only a state.
The population is only a few million, less than China's eleventh.
It's normal to have such a difference! (To be continued.) )
PS: Note 1: Chidao is a highway built by the Qin Dynasty in the eastern countries, while the straight road is the name of the north.
The new road refers to the five passages built by the Qin Dynasty in the place where Baiyue meets China.
Huizhong Road is a road built by the Qin Dynasty in the northwest direction to cross Longshan and lead to the Hetao, which is simple and easy, and is the starting point of the ancient Silk Road.
But by this time, the back to the middle way was already broken.
Later, when Emperor Wu was in the Dynasty, after taking the Hetao, he rebuilt the middle road, went to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and operated the Western Regions, so he extended the middle road back to Qiuzi, and the extended part was called the new road in the Wei and Jin history books.
But in the Qin and Han dynasties, all roads in the world will eventually be summarized in Weiqiao.
It can be said that all roads lead to Chang'an.
Therefore, the rulers of the Qin and Han dynasties often say that I am 'Zhou determines the four poles.' Warp and weft world'.
This is not an exaggeration, but a subtle way of showing off.
