Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 312: Seven Years of the Pre-Yuan Period
In the spring of the seventh year before the Han Dynasty,

He Bo, who felt that he had successfully "expanded the territory", attempted to cross the Yangtze River and re-establish contact with his clone in Lingnan.

Unfortunately,

The further south you go, the denser the water network becomes, with countless rivers and lakes.
Moreover, the water volume of the Pearl River in Lingnan is several times that of the Yellow River.
Under the impact of the surging waves, He Bo failed and had to return in disappointment.

but,

He was quite relaxed.

After all, the progress bar has been refreshed, and all we have to do next is wait patiently.

He even conquered the grumpy Yellow River, so he can definitely conquer the Pearl River!

When He Bo returned to Haoli from the land south of the Yangtze River,
Gan Shi and his group of historians who were always keeping an eye on the Yang world came to report the matter to the ghosts and gods.

Actually,
This group of historians discovered that something big had happened in the world that might have a drastic impact in the future, and they could no longer suppress their inner emotions. They just wanted to find someone to talk to and exchange their views on the matter.

He Bo therefore knew that the emperor of the Yang world had deposed his original crown prince and appointed his most beloved tenth son as the new crown prince.

"…There's no need to come to me to complain!"

He Bo pointed at Li Ji, who was crying and making a fuss at the gate of Guishen Palace on Haoli Main Street, and said to the historians helplessly.

The historians were also at a loss for words and could only say, "She thought the Han emperor was an unfaithful person, so she was so angry that she died!"

Not long after the crown prince was deposed,

Li Ji, a favored concubine who had given birth to three children for the emperor, died of depression because of this incident.

After she died and learned that ghosts and gods did exist in the world, she prayed to them to "uphold justice" for her and punish Liu Qi, the unfaithful man!
Before that,
Li Ji also went to find the previous emperors of the Han Dynasty and accused Liu Qi of being "unkind and unjust".

For this,

Liu Bang simply covered his ears and ran away, pretending that he knew nothing.

Although he had been dealing with women all his life, Liu Bang really couldn't stand the crying of such a little girl.

He just wants to enjoy the other person's beauty and tenderness!
Liu Ying also got on the carriage driven by his elder brother Liu Xin and hurried to the "Fengyi" in the underworld to visit his grandfather and his mother who was separated from his father.

You need to know many things in the world.

There is only the principle of "son pays father's debt",

How could a son cause his father to suffer?
of course,

Except for Liu Taigong who almost fell into Xiang Yu’s pot!

Unable to find any direct relatives within three generations, Li Ji could only complain to the ghosts and gods.

But what can He Bo do?

Should the Emperor Yangshi, who is in his prime and ruling smoothly, be killed directly because of her accusations to appease her?
If He Bo really did this,
Then Li Ji is not a female ghost.
That's called a little fairy!
then,

He Bo put Li Ji aside.

Anyway, ghosts and gods never go through the front door when they travel.

Or flash somewhere directly,
Or they could ride on a cloud chariot that could float in the air.

He even had the leisure to make a bet with the ghost officials, "How long will this great doctor's fuss last?"

In the fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty,
The Han emperor suddenly fell seriously ill.

After the treatment did not produce good results, the emperor bowed to fate and felt that he could only let his eldest son Liu Rong succeed him.

Although he was at this time,
He had lost his former favor for the older and less attractive Li Ji, and did not think that Liu Rong had any outstanding talents.

But having an adult successor with the title of crown prince is better than dying suddenly without any arrangements, which will cause turmoil in the government and the country later!
But the emperor still couldn't let go of his young children.

So the emperor, who was too sick to have any strength, summoned Li Ji and said to her:
"I hope you can treat them well after you become the Queen Mother."

As a result, Li Ji just thought that after years of suffering, she was finally getting through.

When her son became emperor, who could do anything to her in the Han Dynasty, which advocated "ruling the world with filial piety"?

So she said smugly, "Who cares about that?"

"You old dog, go ahead and die if you want to!"

When the emperor heard her words, his eyes widened and he fainted from anger.

When he woke up, he felt refreshed and all his illness was gone... A seriously ill person,
A man who had gathered many famous doctors from the Han Dynasty but was helpless against it.

Just like that, he was "cured" by Li Ji's words!
When He Bo heard about this, he admired her medical skills very much, so he called her Li Ji like this.

"According to the Yang World's calendar, I don't think it will last more than three days!"

A woman like Li Ji who is spoiled by her husband,
The dead ghosts have tasted too much,
I know that their emotions always come and go suddenly, are very unstable and not lasting.

He Bo also thought that this should be the case.

But since it was a bet, he would definitely raise objections.

So he said, "Then I'll bet five days!"

Ximen Bao next to him lamented, "In the world of the living, something like the dethronement of the eldest son and the enthronement of the youngest son happened. How can we still pay attention to such a trivial matter?"

Emperor,

It is the core of a country.

You can thrive by it,

It can also lead to decline.

Therefore, qualified monarchs in all dynasties paid great attention to examining their successors.

But people's hearts can change, and likes and dislikes always appear accordingly.

Ximen Bao was a little worried.
The new crown prince who can make his father so partial to him and "depose the eldest and establish the youngest" will become spoiled and ruin the hard-won peace in the country back to its previous chaotic state.

He Bo said to him, "If you are worried that the child has a spoiled personality and will behave unruly in the future, why don't you go and observe him secretly?"

"Besides, Liu Qi is not a mediocre monarch. Since he was able to continue the prosperity of his father and grandfather and quell the internal rebellion, I think he would not joke with the country."

Moreover,
Even if a wise ruler makes mistakes, it is usually when he is old.

at the moment,

Liu Qi was so angry at Li Ji's words that he lived a second life. He was in his prime, but not yet to the point of being senile and confused.

Ximen Bao felt that the ghost's words made sense, so he planned to go see the child when he had time.

He didn't care whether Liu's country was stable or not.
But the world is stable, without harsh government or war.
It is always a good thing for all people.

He Bo followed him to worry about the country and the people, and then he turned around and thought about when the clone he arranged to go to the west would be able to bring him back a surprise like the pufferfish in Lingnan.

When "littering" has achieved results,
He Bo went to the Western Regions specifically and secretly stuffed some small vehicles into the caravan's cargo.

After all these years,

Although the Huns still occupied the Hexi Corridor, they blocked the communication between the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

But the communication between the Western Regions and Xinxia continued.

Even though the Yuzhi people, who had occupied the land of Central Asia, multiplied and grew there, and gradually established the "Great Yuezhi" regime, attempted to replicate the Xiongnu's operations,

However, they were always forced to clear their heads under Xinxia's "attack on the barbarians in the north".

Moreover, the prosperity and stability of the river gradually changed the rough nomadic life of the Great Yuezhi, making them semi-settled and semi-pastoral.

During the time of King Wen of Xia,
The Great Yuezhi even sent their children to Xinxia to study the classics and culture and comprehend the profound wisdom.

After a while,
The Great Yuezhi, who had been educated by Xinxia with a combination of civil and military skills, gradually understood:
Business dealings can bring you long-term benefits.

If they were to just enjoy a moment of pleasure and become bandits who rob and kill people, scaring the caravans away so that they dared not come, then their lives would also be miserable.

Therefore,
When caravans from the Western Regions or Xinxia passed through Transoxiana, the Great Yuezhi would generally not be too harsh on them. At most, they would ask the merchants to pay a toll and buy some goods at a low price.

The merchants felt that this loss was tolerable and that they could earn more when they reached their destination, so they didn't say much.

Therefore,

In the first year of the Hanzhong Yuan Dynasty,
A caravan of merchants from the Western Regions that set out in the spring successfully arrived at the territory of Xinxia under the bright sunshine of autumn, and came to its capital "Xiayang".

at the same time,

The envoys of Ying Qin also came from the West Sea to visit their brother country which was nearly ten thousand miles away.
