Chapter 23: Lu Zhi’s remnant trouble

When A Dou came, Pu Lin knew that A Dou was not an ordinary person, and A Dou just now agreed to Pu Lin's request, which made Pu Lin realize that A Dou's identity was absolutely extraordinary.

Pu Lin even felt that A Dou was talking big. After all, A Dou was less than 20 years old. Thinking about the Han people, those ministers who were middle-level and powerful, have never been so young.

"My benefactor, please forgive me for being unreasonable. This matter is of great importance. If you are not careful, we are in danger of extermination of the clan. Please show your identity to resolve your doubts..." Pu Lin said.

A Dou was not surprised by Pu Lin's request. The issue of moving the Di people was too involved. Pu Lin would definitely not believe it based on his own silence. If Pu Lin did not ask about A Dou's true identity, A Dou would find it strange.

Adou reached into his arms, took out a large seal slightly smaller than his palm and handed it on it. The seal was made of pure gold, with a shiny appearance, flashing under the flames, dazzling eyes. The seal was in a square shape, with a dragon, fish, phoenix and birds engraved on it.

"It seems to be an official seal! This official seal looks like pure gold. What kind of official seal is this young man? He actually uses pure gold official seal!" Although Pu Lin was knowledgeable, he had never seen what the official seal of the Han people looked like.

"It's quite heavy, it seems to be really gold!" Pu Lin held the seal in his hand, felt the weight a little, then turned the seal over and looked over carefully. There were eight big characters engraved on the seal.

"After being ordered by heaven, one will live forever..." Pu Lin murmured.

"Does these eight words really sound so familiar? I have heard of them." Pu Lin began to slowly recall them.

"I remembered that the imperial seal is made of the Han people, these eight words are on the imperial seal!" Pu Lin suddenly exclaimed, and then Pu Lin held up the jade seal with both hands and continued: "No, the imperial seal is made of jade bi, this is gold, not the imperial seal."

"Haha, of course this is not the imperial seal, but you just said half of it. Although this is not the imperial seal, it is also the jade seal."

What Adou took out was the jade seal of Shu Han.

Since the First Emperor ordered Li Si to create the imperial seal, this imperial seal is not only a jade seal, but also a symbol of imperial power. If the emperor ascended the throne without the imperial seal, it means that he cannot be recognized by God and is injustice.

When Liu Bei ascended the throne, the imperial seal was still in Cao Pi's hands. There was no imperial seal. Liu Bei felt that he had no status as the throne, so Liu Bei ordered people to use pure gold to create a jade seal. This jade seal was smaller than the real imperial seal. As for the eight big words carved on it, it was still the same as the one carved on the imperial seal, and it was still the eight big words "I will be ordered by heaven and live forever."

Pu Lin looked at the jade seal in his hand in surprise, gently touched the pattern on it, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is this really a jade seal?"

"Of course it's true." A Dou nodded.

"What is this jade seal?" Pu Lin asked with confusion on his face.

"This is the jade seal of my Han Dynasty."

"The jade seal of the Han Dynasty!" Pu Lin immediately understood that the Han Dynasty that A Dou mentioned was of course the court of Shu Han in Chang'an City.

"Jade Seal, this is indeed a jade seal!" Pu Lin looked at the jade seal in his hand carefully again, and then said, "Don't this jade seal be in the hands of the emperor? Why did you accept it?"

"Didn't you just say that the jade seal is of course placed in the emperor's hands." A Dou replied with a smile.

"Well, that's what I said!" Pu Lin was stunned for a moment, suddenly stood up suddenly, with an incredible expression on his face, and asked tentatively: "What do you mean... do you want to say that you are the emperor?"

"Yes, Liu Chan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty."

"Liu Chan... No, it's impossible. I remember that the two emperors of you Han people were named Liu Bei and the other was Cao Pi. Liu Bei was already over 60 years old, and Cao Pi was nearly forty years old. You are so young, you are not!"

"The Liu Bei you just mentioned is really my father!" A Dou stood up slowly. At this moment, A Dou's temperament also changed in this moment.

In his previous life, Adou was the chief disciple of Wudang, so he naturally came to the Three Kingdoms. At least, Adou had been the crown prince for several years, and recently became the emperor for several months. Unconsciously, he cultivated a sense of a superior spirit.

"You are Liu Bei's son? Well, it looks like it!" Pu Lin nodded and then asked, "What about your father Liu Bei?"

"The father had passed away a few months ago."

"No wonder, no wonder, so that's how it is." Pu Lin understood that because Liu Bei died, the throne of the Han Dynasty was inherited by Liu Bei's son, the young man in front of him.

"Mr. Pu, don't know this, do you believe me?" A Dou asked.

Pu Lin stared at Adou with an incredible face. Pu Lin couldn't believe that the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the king of this country, would actually run to the Western Regions in person and stand in front of him.

"Am I dreaming?" Pu Lin bit his tongue slightly, and a stinging sensation came, and Pu Lin was sure that this was not a dream.

"Is he really the emperor of the Han people?" Pu Lin's eyes fell on the jade seal again. He had touched the jade seal himself. With this jade seal, it was enough to prove that the young man in front of him was really the emperor of the Han people.

"He is so brave!" This was Pu Lin's first thought after confirming Adou's identity.

"Hu..." Pu Lin let out a breath slightly, then swallowed gently, moistened his throat, and tried hard to recall what A Dou said just now. Then he said, "Your Majesty, can you agree to the conditions you just mentioned?"

"You have no jokes."

"Okay!" Pu Lin felt a sense of excitement in his heart, and then he said, "I will go to the royal army tomorrow to talk about this to Fu Jian."

"That will be hard work tomorrow, Mr. Pu, please try your best to make this happen."

"It's hard to say, I'm just trying my best. But I hope Your Majesty won't give you too much hope. In my opinion, the matter of sending troops is only 55." Pu Lin said this, secretly looked at A Dou's expression, and then said: "Although Fu Jian trusts me very much, Fu Jian will definitely convene all the chiefs for such a major matter. The Lu Gui from the Lu family in the southeast has always been in a disagreement with me. If I raise this matter, Lu Gui will definitely oppose it. This Lu Gui is also very prestigious among us Di people. If he insists on opposing it, it may be difficult to succeed in sending troops."

"Lu Gui? The surname Lu is the surname of us Han people. What is the background of Lu Gui? Could it be related to us Han people?" A Dou asked.

"What Your Majesty said is that the Lu clan is indeed related to the Han people. Strictly speaking, the Lu clan also has some relationship with Your Majesty, or the Han court."

"It has something to do with me? Mr. Pu, come and listen." A Dou asked immediately.

"Speaking of this matter, it goes back to four hundred years ago. At that time, the Han Dynasty had just been established, and there was an empress named Lu Zhi in the Han Dynasty. You should know about it!"

"Lu Zhi? Isn't that the Empress of Emperor Gaozu? Is this Lu clan related to Lu Zhi?" A Dou asked.

"Yes, this Lu clan is the clan of Lu Zhi. The Lu clan was in power and had the momentum to replace the Han dynasty. However, after Lu Zhi's death, the brothers of the King of Qi launched an army to attack Lu, Zhou Bo, and Chen Ping responded to the situation and destroyed the Lu clan. The fish that escaped the net among the Lu clan, the grandson of the brother Lu Zhi, fled to our Di tribe and lived with us Di people. After so many years, they had already integrated into our Di people."

"So that's the case. The Lu clan among the Di people is actually the Lu Zhi's clan. I didn't expect that Mr. Pu knows a lot about the history of our Han people!" A Dou said casually.

"Haha, I just read it." Pu Lin said, picking up the "Records of the Grand Historian" on the table, and then said: "I have admired the Han culture since I was a child, especially the history books of the Han people."

"By the way, since the Lu clan was originally Han, have you ever thought about returning to the Central Plains?" A Dou asked again.

"Return to the Central Plains? The Central Plains are much richer than the Western Regions. I think their Lu clan must have wanted to go back long ago. But did your Majesty forget that when he "cleaned the Lu clan", the Lu clan was killed completely and was listed as a crime of great rebellion. Although four hundred years have passed, as long as the Central Plains is still the world of the Han Dynasty, how dare the Lu clan go back!"

"What I said is... As long as it is still in the Han Dynasty, the Lu clan is a rebel who everyone calls for fighting, and they dare not go back." A Dou thought for a moment and then said, "Let's do that, tomorrow you tell Lu Gui, just say that as long as he agrees to send troops, I can pardon the crimes of the Lu clan back then."

The next day, Pu Lin went to the royal army to find Fu Jian and told Fu Jian about the matter. Including the Wusun Golden Sword that year, he told Fu Jian everything, but Pu Lin did not tell Fu Jian that the emperor of the Han Dynasty had arrived in person, but said that the Han people sent an envoy.

Over the years, Fu Jian has been very angry with the Qiang people, so Fu Jian was very interested in destroying the Qiang people. However, when he heard A Dou offer such generous conditions and allow the Di tribe to live in Yongzhou, Fu Jian's face became ugly.

Now in the Western Regions, although the Di people were bullied by the Qiang people and often lived a hungry and full life, Fu Jian was the king of Di, and he was in control of great power and was the most powerful figure of the Di people. He could recruit 100,000 powerful soldiers to conquer cities and territory with one family. And even if the Di people were poor, he would not be able to make his king hungry.

However, once the Di people moved to Yongzhou, Fu Jian would at most be named a idle prince and would no longer have the power he is today. People are always selfish. Although Fu Jian knew that moving to Yongzhou would be of great benefit to the entire Di people, and could allow hundreds of thousands of Di people to live a rich life, Fu Jian was reluctant to give up the power in his hands.

"This is the matter..." After looking at the tribal leaders below, Fu Jian felt a little angry. If so many tribal leaders were not present, he could still suppress the whole matter, but with so many tribal leaders present, Fu Jian could not suppress this matter at all.

The Di people yearn for the lives of the people in the Central Plains. Everyone present knew that this was a great opportunity for the entire Di people. Everyone had the opportunity to go to the Central Plains to live the lives of the Han people, and there was no need to worry about the Qiang people anymore.

Fu Jian narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the leaders of the tribes below, and found that most of them had a yearning expression. Fu Jian knew that it would not take long before this matter would spread to the royal tribe. Once the royal tribe spreads, the leaders of the various tribes of the Di people would soon know.

"This matter... This matter is related to the survival of our clan. I think it's better to invite everyone to discuss it together!" Fu Jian said depressedly.

In the hall, twenty leaders of the Di people, both large and small, stood in two rows.

Pu Lin and Lu Gui are the two most powerful chiefs of the Di tribe, and they have always been disagreeable, so the right and wrong of these two people are clearly distinguished.

"Everyone, this is how things are!" Fu Jian looked at the twenty chiefs below, and then continued: "This matter was proposed by Pu Lin yesterday. Today, everyone will discuss whether we should send troops."

When Fu Jian said the word "Pu Lin", his eyes involuntarily looked at Lu Gui. It was obvious that Fu Jian's last sentence was for Lu Gui to listen to.

Sure enough, when Lu Gui heard that the clan’s relocation to Yongzhou was brought up by Pu Lin’s office, he hurriedly stood up and said, “Master, I think this matter is inappropriate!”

When Fu Jian heard Lu Gui express his objection, he smiled with satisfaction. As Fu Jian expected, as long as he said that this matter was proposed by Pu Lin, Lu Gui would definitely object immediately.

Pu Lin glared at Lu Gui fiercely, and then began to observe the expressions of others. Pu Lin found that many tribal leaders present showed a hint of yearning on their faces, which shows that moving to Yongzhou was still very tempting for everyone. Then Pu Lin secretly looked at Fu Jian's expression and found that Fu Jian had a playful smile on his face.

At this moment, Pu Lin suddenly realized that the person who was the one who didn’t want to go to Yongzhou the most was the Di King Fu Jian!

Although Fu Jian was the king of Di, the Di people did not have the supreme power like the Han emperor. Compared with the Han emperors, Fu Jian had much less power, and many things still needed to vote for the leaders of various tribes. So Pu Lin knew that as long as he could win the support of most of the tribe leaders present, even if Fu Jian didn't want to, it would be difficult to stop it.

Pu Lin's eyes turned and decided to use a delaying strategy first. Don't settle this matter for the time being, and he tried some time to convince more tribal leaders to agree to this matter. When the discussion was discussed next time, if most people agreed, even if Lu Gui opposed it, he would not have done much.

So Pu Lin coughed dryly, walked up and said, "King, this dispatch of troops has a great relationship with the relocation to Yongzhou. It is too much of a joke to make a decision in a short period of time. Moreover, you have just arrived at the Wang army and the boats are exhausted. It is better to let everyone rest first and wait until three days to discuss this matter. I wonder what the king wants?"

"Yeah..." Fu Jian nodded slightly. In fact, Fu Jian didn't want this matter to be delayed any longer. Fu Jian hoped to make a decision today and reject the matter. But now it seems that what Pu Lin said is reasonable, so Fu Jian had to reluctantly agree.

Lu Guiyi sat in the room with a gloomy face, and a servant next to him was reporting Pu Lin’s current updates to Lu Gui.

Since the church was disbanded, Lu Gui sent someone to monitor Pu Lin.

As Lu Gui expected, Pu Lin began to visit the residences of the leaders of various tribes. Needless to say, Lu Gui knew that Pu Lin was seeking their support.

"Hmph! You Pu Lin!" Lu Gui slapped the table fiercely. But Lu Gui also knew that the temptation to live in Yongzhou was too great for the Di people. But other Di people could go to the Central Plains, but Lu Gui could not do it. After all, Lu Gui was a member of Lu Zhi's clan back then. With this identity, the Han court could not tolerate him.

"You must not be successful! You Pu Lin will go to find someone, and I, Lu Gui, can do it!" Lu Gui thought of standing up, and shouted to the servants outside: "Go and prepare horses for me, I want to go out."

"Where are you going?" An old voice came from outside. Lu Gui looked up and found an old man walking outside.

"Father, why are you here?" Lu Gui hurriedly met.

The old man who came was Lu Gui's father Lu Hai.

"Haha, I haven't been to the royal army for a long time, come and have a look." Lu Hai said, sitting down and asking at the same time: "You said you were going out, where are you going?"

"Father, that's how it is." Lu Gui said it when he was in the hall.

"Then do you support or object?" Lu Hai asked.

"Of course I objected, how could I let Pu Lin succeed!" Lu Gui said immediately.

"Damn it!" Lu Hai glared at Lu Gui: "You should support such a thing, why should you object!"

"Ah...father, what did you say? You asked me to support Pu Lin?"

"Hmph, let me ask you, why did I name you Lu Gui back then?" Lu Hai asked.

"My father hopes that I can glorify my ancestors and restore the honor of my Lu clan, so that our Lu clan can return to the same kind of power as we were back in the past, and dominate the world! That's why I named me Lu Gui."

"Not bad! Our ancestors almost achieved this country and made the world change Lu! Unfortunately, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo have a bad thing, and our Lu family has become a loser. They fled to this poor mountain and joined these Di barbarians..." Lu Hai's voice had a desolate smell.

Then Lu Hai changed his voice and continued, "But fortunately, the sky has eyes. It has been four hundred years since we finally waited for this good opportunity!"

"Father, you mean..."

"Lu Gui, I ask you, how are the soldiers I asked you to train secretly?"

"Don't worry, Father, the five thousand men have been trained and the equipment is complete, so it can be fought. But there are only five thousand men, and the number is a little smaller." Lu Gui replied.

"It doesn't matter if there is less. If Fu Jian really transfers the main force to Liangzhou to fight against Cheriji, even if there are only 5,000 people, it will be enough to overthrow the royal court! At that time, you will be the King of Di!" Lu Hai said excitedly.

"Father, you mean to get up now. Would it be a little too early? We still have many places that are not ready..."

"The opportunity must not be lost and never come again, good opportunities will be fleeting. Our Lu clan has been waiting for four hundred years. We must seize this God-given opportunity!"
