Chapter 420: Ji Zhao meets Liu Che
"Your Majesty, King Su?"
Liu Che asked with some disbelief. Although it was a question, it was also certainty because the person in front of him was so extraordinary.
In Liu Che's eyes, the appearance of the person in front of him was changing all the time, from youth to old age, but the only thing that remained unchanged was that pair of indescribable pupils. Looking again, the person in front of him was wearing a crown, like a god of heaven and earth, with a faint appearance of wind and clouds and a blue dragon, and the legendary phoenix accompanying him.
"Emperor Su Wang, is that you?"
Ji Zhao nodded and said, "It's me."
Liu Che was trembling with excitement. He had always believed that the Su Wang must be watching him from the sky. Now it seemed to be true. He could not help but ask, "Sir Su Wang, I am about to die. Can I get immortality after death?"
Ji Zhao laughed when he heard this. Liu Che and Qin Zheng were really alike. They were exactly alike. Ji Zhao laughed and said, "Do you know? Qin Zheng asked the same question before he died."
"Qin Zheng?"
Liu Che muttered something, and then said with some disdain: "He is definitely not good enough. Although he has some achievements, the fall of the Qin Dynasty in the second generation is inseparable from him. He has torn the world into pieces. His harsh laws have disgusted the people of the world. He has no sympathy for the people and does not treat the people well.
Most importantly, he did not offer sacrifices to you, the King of Su, and even attempted to damage your sacrifices. This is simply a heinous crime. How can such an emperor achieve immortality?"
Ji Zhao almost laughed out loud when he heard this. From the life experiences and outcomes of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han, he fully realized that a person's achievements depend not only on personal struggle but also on the course of history. The evaluations of these two people in the previous life were almost exactly the same, and now Liu Che actually despised the Qin government.
But Ji Zhao was unable to refute it, because Liu Che was truly a sage king in his life. He fought wars for ten years without raising taxes. Although many people died in the wars, the pensions were sufficient and the soldiers were treated well, so no one really blamed him.
On the contrary, everyone joined the army enthusiastically. The only price was that the imperial treasury was completely emptied. However, this had nothing to do with the people, and the empty treasury was not a big problem. The Han Dynasty had a good tax collection system, and the state-run salt and iron industries and the price stabilization of all kinds of goods were both powerful tools for making money, which would quickly fill the treasury.
"Let's put the question of immortality aside for now. Do you want to see something interesting?"
Liu Che asked curiously, "What is it?"
Ji Zhao smiled and said, "It's your life, not yours."
How could Liu Che, an ancient man, possibly understand the concept of parallel time and space? Ji Zhao simply said, "It was another Han emperor named Liu Che."
Liu Che watched a TV series with a confused look on his face - "The Emperor Wu of Han". This TV series actually beautified that era, but it directly broke Liu Che's defense at the beginning.
"My father is actually Liu Qi?"
Liu Che's expression was as if he was in shock, and he was about to doubt his life, "My father is my grandfather?"
Ji Zhao smiled in his heart, and then said: "You are not him, your father is Emperor Taizong Wen Liu Heng."
Liu Che then felt a little relieved and continued watching. Ji Zhao certainly would not show him the entire TV series, but rather selected a lot of content from it, and some content was evolved based on historical books.
Liu Che soon saw Wei Zifu and Wei Qing appear, "My queen is more beautiful than this woman, and my general is more heroic than this man."
Liu Che made some casual comments, and then Huo Qubing suddenly appeared. Liu Che was very satisfied and said, "The Qubing in the other world is also very heroic, very similar to me, but where is Wushuang Hou? My other Han Divine Sword, where is Wushuang Hou?"
Liu Che suddenly realized that Luo Jing had not appeared, and neither Jia Yi nor Zhou Yafu had seen him. He asked Ji Zhao in confusion, "King Su, why haven't your descendants seen him?"
Ji Zhao said casually: "In that world, there is no Luo family, I have no descendants left in the human world, and the human world does not know my name."
Liu Che was so shocked that he couldn't hold back and said in disbelief, "Without the Emperor Su Wang? Without the Luo family? How can the Chinese nation be without you?"
Time is truly the greatest power in the world. Over a thousand years, Ji Zhao has been completely integrated into the culture of the Xia Dynasty. Even an emperor like Liu Che found it hard to imagine what the Xia Dynasty would be like without Ji Zhao.
As the plot progresses, Liu Che has gradually become part of the story, because the character of that Liu Che is so similar to his. The only difference is that, perhaps without the constraints of King Su and Luo, that Liu Che is more willful.
"The Xiongnu have not been annihilated yet, so why spend several times the military budget to build a palace?"
When Liu Che saw Liu Che in the shadow building a palace, he couldn't help but curse and was so angry that he almost jumped up and down. After all, for Liu Che, building a palace was important, but it was far inferior to fighting the Huns.
Fortunately, this part passed quickly. What followed was Huo Qubing and Wei Qing's continuous attack on the Xiongnu. Even after experiencing the shock of the battle reports, Liu Che was still dancing with excitement. "Qubing, a natural commander, the magic sword of the Han Dynasty, it's a pity that Wushuang Hou is not here, and there are no imperial horses and three treasures, otherwise the casualties of our Han Dynasty would not be so great.
Emperor Su, after conquering the Xiongnu in this world, have I created more great achievements?"
Ji Zhao smiled and said, "Conquer the Xiongnu? The Xiongnu Chanyu is not dead yet, just wait and see."
Ji Zhao's expression made Liu Che feel a little uneasy, but he couldn't figure it out. With Wei Qing and Huo Qubing around, and him as the emperor who fully supported them, could the Huns still make any trouble?
Then the plot reached the part that made Liu Che's eyes water.
"Get rid of the disease!"
In the play, Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, looks extremely painful, even at a loss. He doesn't know what to say or do. He just stretches out his hand, as if wanting to hold Huo Qubing's hand.
Liu Che in the space was also roaring in a low voice. Even though there was a screen between them, he could still feel the pain. He suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Ji Zhao, asking with a hint of fear: "Prince Su, will my Qubing die so young?"
Ji Zhao was very gentle to Liu Che, who had always respected him. "When you passed away, Huo Qubing was still very healthy. What are you worried about?
This should have been Huo Qubing's fate, but with Wu Ji sharing his burden, he would not have died so early. "
Liu Che had just put his mind at ease when Ji Zhao sped up the plot to the moment when Wei Qing passed away, the emperor was demoted, and the imperial guards bowed their heads. Liu Che sighed slightly, "Wei Qing is always too cautious. He and I are still very close. It is not an insult to give him the position of Chief Minister."
Liu Che was still sighing here, completely unaware that his two great generals had passed away. What was even worse was that he had chosen a second-rate general to be the commander-in-chief of the Han army.
Then the Han army suffered a series of defeats. The Huns, who had been severely abused before, began to win against the Han army again. Even the Western Regions dared to betray the Han court again and again. How could Liu Che sit still? He became anxious and angry and began to criticize Liu Che and Li Guangli in the play.
"What is Liu Che doing? Why did he choose such a fool as a general? He has absolutely no ability to be a commander."
Ji Zhao said: "This Li Guangli is also a relative by marriage. He is the brother of Lady Li, the favorite of Liu Che. The relationship between Liu Che and the queen gradually became distant, and he was not close to the prince. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing both passed away, so another relative by marriage was reused in the hope of recreating the glory of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. Obviously, it failed."
Liu Che was silent after hearing this, because he suddenly realized that this was something he could do, but he quickly said, "But the Han Dynasty still has many capable marquises. These marquises have made great efforts in the war against the Xiongnu. Can't we find someone who is capable of leading the army?
The Huaiyin Marquisate and the Anyang Marquisate are both descendants of Huaiyin Wumu Marquis, so they are definitely better than this idiot, right? "
Ji Zhao waved his hand and said, "This is the scene where Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin, was killed and his three clans were exterminated. This is the scene where all the titles and states of the founding marquises were abolished. The Han Dynasty did not follow the feudal system. If they wanted to win, they had to rely on the Central Imperial Army. Unfortunately, under Li Guangli's command, they could not win."
Liu Che was dumbfounded. It is impossible for people to understand things beyond their cognition in a short period of time.
His face turned pale at first, then he realized that without the Luo family, there were many things that others could not do, and a sense of relief secretly rose in his heart.
All these complicated situations finally converged to one point, that is, the Luo family participated in the construction of the Han Dynasty, which eventually created the current Han Dynasty, which was relatively smooth in the early stage.
Until he, the king who received the mandate from heaven, exerted the remaining strength of three generations, destroyed the Huns through a war that united everyone, conquered the four barbarians, and completely completed the spiritual sublimation of the Han Dynasty of China.
The plot is still moving forward, and Liu Che's mind is actually no longer on this. He has already failed in consecutive foreign wars. What else is worth seeing?
After losing the Huns, they lost the Western Regions. After losing the Western Regions, they lost the Qiang people. After losing the Qiang people, they lost the Southwest. After losing the Southwest, they lost the Shanyue. In the end, there was nothing left to lose.
No matter how incompetent he is, he can only be like this. The Han Dynasty is so powerful that even losing a battle should not be a big problem.
Ji Zhao saw through Liu Che's thoughts, and then silently brought up the case of Witchcraft and Poisoning. Liu Che didn't take it seriously at first, as they were just a few small characters, but soon he began to watch it attentively.
"madness!"
"It's just stupid!"
"It's just witchcraft. I am a monarch appointed by heaven. How could I be harmed by witchcraft?"
Liu Che could understand the previous part, but he really couldn't understand the witchcraft disaster. This matter was really too unbelievable.
Ji Zhao said calmly, "I don't exist in that world. He doesn't have the confidence you have. Besides, Liu Che is older than you, more suspicious, and more mean and ungrateful than you. It's normal for him to do something like this."
Liu Che's emotions gradually calmed down. He looked at Ji Zhao seriously and said, "Prince Su, I understand. If he could have died twenty years earlier, even if he was not as good as me, he might have been much better than he is now. For an emperor, it is a lucky thing to die before he becomes senile.
I also understand that your existence is also a lucky thing, for the emperor, the nobles, and the common people.
I just want to ask one last question: did this really happen?"
It’s just a TV show. Ji Zhao smiled and said, “He may be real or fake, but you must be real.”
He waved his hand gently and smiled, "Go ahead. When I gain immortality, I will grant you immortality. Then you can go and see if he is real."
