Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

"Is this map real?

Is this world so vast? "

Zhao Qian laughed happily.

"Frankly speaking, before my father took out this map, I probably had the same thoughts as you.

At that time, I also thought that the world probably only had a circle of territory near our China, our Great Han Kingdom.

But now, I can tell you that I may not have been to many of these places, but I have been to at least half of them.

These places have a variety of landscapes and people. When I deal with them, I often feel that this world is so wonderful that so many different things can come together and collide. Such brilliant sparks.

Come on, follow me for a walk, take a look, and see how vast this world is, and then you will know how fragile this little Carthage in your heart is, it has survived I can't go down.

Only by allowing him to truly integrate into our Chinese civilization and become a part of our Chinese civilization, can such Carthage truly survive forever.

I know it is difficult for you to accept my statement, so I can give you some time to think about it. I will come back in a few days and hope to get a satisfactory answer by then. "

After saying this, Zhao Qian put down two more bottles of wine and left.

Looking at the back of Zhao Qian leaving, Hamilcar sighed a long time.

"The crown prince is indeed a good man."

Chapter 1294 Zhao Kuo Wants to Arrange Bodyguards

In the palace, Zhao Kuo listened to Zhao Qian's report on this meeting in great detail, and then asked a question.

"Do you think he will submit to our Great Han Kingdom?"

Zhao Qian gave the answer almost without thinking.

"This should be unlikely to happen. He is a person with very firm willpower. It is impossible for him to submit to our Great Han Kingdom with just a few words."

After hearing these words, Zhao Kuo laughed instead.

"That's the kind of determination we need.

It is true that he is not so easy to surrender to our Han country, but once he really joins our Han country, he will never betray easily. "

There is a ready-made example here, that is Wang Jian, the general of the Han Dynasty.

Back then, Wang Jian was also unwilling to surrender easily, but now, he has become one of the four giants of the Han Kingdom.

It's like chasing a girl. Some girls may really have to go through a lot of trouble when chasing them, but once they catch up, she will also wholeheartedly entrust you for life.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Qian obviously grasped the core and spoke again.

"If that's the case, then Erchen will have more contact with him in the future."

Why do we need more contacts?

The answer is of course very simple, because next year, Zhao Qian will go to the west to observe the war between Carthage and Rome as the prince of the Han Dynasty.

Today's Western civilization actually only has these two single seedlings. This is not to say that there are no other countries in the European continent, but that other countries are only tribal civilizations, and have not yet entered the comparison of national civilizations. advanced stage.

To put it another way, most places on the earth are still in the stage of tribal civilization. Even in the 21st century, many so-called countries are just communities united by individual tribes. There are also considerable differences across countries.

Of course, Zhao Kuo agreed to Zhao Qian's request very boldly.

After Zhao Qian left, Mao Sui appeared.

"I just received the news that there seems to be some turmoil in Carthage."

Zhao Kuo took the information Mao Sui handed over and fell into deep thought after reading it.

Frankly speaking, considering the huge size of the Han Kingdom, Zhao Kuo is actually not particularly concerned about those countries in the West, because the current Han Kingdom is too huge, and the power mobilized is too great. The power is not at all comparable to those of the western countries.

However, considering that Zhao Qian did have to go through some training, and this time the training place is thousands of miles away in the Mediterranean Sea, so Zhao Kuo still needs to pay attention.

Judging from this situation, Carthage has indeed undergone considerable changes due to failure, and the factions in power have lost many people. On the Roman side, the victory made the Romans very excited, and even some Get carried away.

After Zhao Kuo thought for a while, he said, "Let Li Mu come and see me."

Li Mu is now the supreme commander of the Han Kingdom's army. When Zhao Kuo summoned him, everyone knew that this meant that the Han Kingdom's army might be given a new mission.

After about an hour, Li Mu appeared in front of Zhao Kuo with a beaming face.

"Is Your Majesty going to fight again?"

Looking at Li Mu's expression of wanting to go to war immediately, Zhao Kuo also felt a little funny.

"What's wrong?

Could it be that if there is no war, I can't ask you to come in and have a chat? "

Li Mu chuckled, and said to Zhao Kuo: "Of course, Your Majesty can chat with Weichen anytime and anywhere, but, Weichen feels that His Majesty is a busy person, so he shouldn't be so idle to chat with Weichen. "

Zhao Kuo shook his head with a smile, and said, "You guys are really good at finding trouble.

In fact, I came to you today mainly to ask you a question, that is, which one do you think is more suitable to sit in the west, Wang Jian or Xiang Yan? "

After hearing this question, Li Mu's grinning expression immediately became serious, and he fell into deep thought.

After a while, Li Mu said, "Can Your Majesty reveal more information?

It is actually not easy for the veteran to make a judgment on these words alone. "

Zhao Kuo did not say that there was anything to hide, but continued to speak directly: "My meaning is actually very simple, that is, I hope that when Qian'er goes to the west as an envoy, there will be a general nearby as a support."

In this way, Zhao Kuo simply told Li Mu about Zhao Qian's upcoming trip to Carthage next year.

After listening to it, Li Mu suddenly realized, and said: "If it is this matter, then I think it is relatively simple.

In fact, these two generals are rising stars of our Great Han Kingdom, and they can both serve as a support for the crown prince. However, to be on the safe side, I feel that Xiang Yan should be allowed to personally defend His Highness the crown prince, while Wang Jian led the main force to support the crown prince. "

After hearing this, Zhao Kuo said: "It seems that this is indeed safer, but it's just for a mere Qianer, and then these two generals are dispatched, isn't it a bit of a big deal?"

Li Mu was obviously unhappy when he heard it, and said seriously: "Your Majesty is wrong to say this, His Royal Highness is the future Emperor of our Great Han Kingdom, and his safety is of paramount importance to our Great Han Kingdom.

If he didn't know that His Majesty would not agree, otherwise, I would like to go to the west with His Highness the Crown Prince to take a look. "

After hearing what Li Mu said, Zhao Kuo felt relieved, nodded and said, "Then let's do this.

By the way, I remember that your eldest son seems to be 15 years old this year, do you have any idea for him to exercise with Qian Er? "

When Li Mu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said to Zhao Kuo with a smile, "Actually, I really had such an idea before, that is, to let that worthless Nizi go out with His Royal Highness to take a look, but I don't think His Majesty will I agree, so I dare not mention it.

Since His Majesty is so gracious today, Quan Zi will naturally follow His Highness the Crown Prince and his party. "

In fact, to put it bluntly, Li Mu really didn't mean to worry about his children's lack of exercise. After all, he is now one of the three prime ministers of the Han Dynasty. With this family background, who would dare to neglect Li Mu's children?

The key is to travel with Zhao Qian. This is a very rare opportunity. After all, Zhao Qian is His Majesty the future emperor of the Han Dynasty. It is definitely the best thing to build a good relationship at this time.

After Zhao Kuo listened, he also nodded and said: "Then let's settle this matter like this."

The two fathers coincidentally looked at each other and smiled.

Chapter 1295

After learning that Zhao Qian was likely to go to the western territory, Empress Tian Wan soon came to him.

"Your Majesty, why did you let our children go to such a dangerous place?"

Faced with his wife's complaints, Zhao Kuo could only helplessly spread his hands and said: "There is no way to do this. Who made him the prince of our Han Dynasty? If he wants to do great things, he must ask for all kinds of things. Having experienced the situation, he must have more insight, so that he will become a truly excellent successor."

Tian Wan was still relatively dissatisfied with this statement, and continued to speak: "But the problem is that he has experienced too many dangerous things in these years. Could it be that the successors of our Great Han Kingdom cannot live in a relatively stable place?" Under the conditions, was it cultivated with peace of mind?"

Zhao Kuo thought for a while, and then answered: "If he is just a very ordinary child, then he is indeed qualified to grow up in a stable environment, but since he has chosen to be the prince of the Han Kingdom, he also chooses In order to surpass me in the future and become a better emperor, he must go through various challenges.

And queen, don't worry, the place he went this time is also specially sent to protect him, not to let him go to those dangerous places alone, you also have to know that it is not easy for me to train a successor, and I will not go do that. "

After Zhao Kuo talked about it, Tian Wan finally felt relieved, and then left.

After Tian Wan left, Zhao Kuo pondered for a moment, and then said: "Go and find Qian'er for me."

Soon, Zhao Qian appeared in front of Zhao Kuo: "Is there anything the father wants to do with his son?"

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "Actually, there's nothing else to do. I just want you to come and walk with me and take a look at this imperial capital."

Zhao Qian was obviously puzzled by this, but obediently accompanied Zhao Kuo into the carriage.

However, when Zhao Qian saw that the carriage in front of him was more like a travel vehicle for ordinary nobles, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Father, is it possible that the emperor wants to pay a private visit?"

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile: "Yeah, it's been a while since I went out to see it, and I want to go out to see it too."

Zhao Qian immediately became interested, and said with a smile: "If the father does not give up, the minister is willing to lead the way for the father."

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Qian in surprise: "So, do you know the Imperial City very well?"

Zhao Qian said with a smile: "If it comes to the understanding of the whole world, my son is of course not as good as my father, but if it is about the understanding of the imperial capital, then my father is definitely not as good as my father."

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Interesting.

Since this is the case, then today's itinerary will be entirely up to you to decide. "

The carriage slowly drove out of the palace city and entered the imperial capital.

Since there is no city wall, the current Imperial Capital City has actually become a very large city, and people continue to settle in the suburbs of the city, and then these suburbs of the city gradually become urban areas because of the flow of people. part.

Zhao Kuo is actually very familiar with these situations, because he has already experienced it in later generations, and the large-scale urbanization of Huaxia in later generations is truly shocking, much stronger than the current Han Kingdom.

Under Zhao Qian's order, the carriage quickly stopped outside a street with a lot of traffic.

Zhao Kuo asked curiously, "What is this place?"

Zhao Qian chuckled and said, "Father, this is the most famous snack street in our imperial capital."

"snack block?"

This answer obviously surprised Zhao Kuo, but he quickly laughed: "Interesting, let's go down and have a look.

By the way, do you have any money? "

Zhao Qian smiled and said: "That is necessary. Today, I will invite Father to taste the snacks from all over the world in our Han Kingdom!"

Zhao Kuo laughed and took Zhao Qian out of the carriage.

This snack street is really very lively, people come and go, many people are holding or carrying all kinds of food in their hands, the aroma spreads in the air, and people can't help but have a kind of index finger Big moving feeling.

Zhao Qian was familiar with the road, came to a stall, and said with a smile: "Boss, bring me a grill for grilling fish. I want it to be fresh and killed."

About 40 years old, the honest-looking boss raised his head and immediately smiled when he saw Zhao Qian: "So it's Mr. Zhao, you two, please sit aside and wait, I'll be here soon!"

Under the enthusiastic guidance of the staff on the side, the two fathers and sons also sat down at a newly vacated table.

Zhao Qing looked around curiously, and found that almost every stall was full of customers, so she couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that every restaurant here is delicious?"

Zhao Qian smiled and said, "Isn't that right?

In fact, there were a lot of snack streets in the past, but later on, the bad ones basically closed down, and this one is the best. "

While talking, a grilled fish stove was brought up soon. Zhao Kuo found that there was not only a freshly killed and grilled fish in the grilled fish stove, but also a lot of spices and side dishes on the side. Small pieces of charcoal are burning, which can be said to be very attractive.

Zhao Qian couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and said with a smile, "Father, the fish is ready to eat."

Zhao Kuo nodded, picked up a mouthful of fish with his chopsticks, and put it in his mouth.

The double impact of fresh and tender fish meat and condiments brings a very good enjoyment to the taste buds. Although it is naturally much rougher than that of the royal chef in the palace, it still has a kind of folk life atmosphere.

Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This fish is really good."

Zhao Qian, who had been waiting for the answer for a long time, was very happy when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "I knew that my father must think it was good, father, eat quickly, we will go to other stalls later, there are roast chicken, boiled meatballs, etc. The fried tofu is so delicious!"

Zhao Kuo looked at the excited Zhao Qian in front of him and couldn't help laughing.

The happiness of a teenager is really simple.

Zhao Kuo raised his head again, staring at the crowd passing back and forth around him.

Most of these people are ordinary people in relatively ordinary clothes, and there are also some aristocratic young men and women dressed in silk like Zhao Qian, and various merchants peddling snacks and snacks back and forth.

If it were in other places, the common people, nobles, and businessmen could be said to be incompatible, but in this snack street, everything as far as the eye can see is so harmonious.

A little girl happily ran past Zhao Kuo holding a bunch of fried tofu, and behind her was a mother screaming in panic because she was worried that the child would fall.

A couple held two skewers of croquettes in their hands, happily walked by Zhao Kuo side by side, and were still discussing about going to other fun places in the city.

Zhao Kuo smiled.

Not bad.

it's actually very good.
