Chapter 299 Emperor Emperor
"Your Highness is joking, how can a land of barbarians be compared with my magnificent Han Dynasty?" Liu Cang proudly wanted to divide everyone into emperors. Li Ru resisted the confusion, but also had an inexplicable feeling in his heart that he did not want to weaken his own momentum, so he retorted.
"Oh? Barbarians? The Roman Empire in the far west is now considered prosperous."
"There are so many slaves over there that even if the army can't defeat them, if there is a Jesus like Wang Mang or Zhang Jue who can make a success of it, he can build a religious cult with his literary talent and inspire a few uprisings.
.”
"Well, in a few years Guya plans to send Roxana back to the Parthian Empire to revive Persian civilization. If Wenyou becomes the Roman emperor, maybe he can raise troops to help?" Liu Cang looked serious.
"..." Li Ru was silent, good guy, he became the emperor of Rome in the blink of an eye?
Very good and powerful. His Highness is worthy of his background as a crusader against the Yellow Turbans. In his early years, Liangzhou and his party had figured out the uprising.
"Husband, I want to spend more time with you." She said in a coquettish voice, and the Persian woman flattered her softly, which made Li Ru complain frequently.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, there is no need to say anything more. Your Highness's intention is already known to Ru." Seeing that Liu Cang seemed to want to give him more advice, Li Ru shook his head frequently and lost his temper.
Talking nonsense to this King of Dongping can make people's ideas of survival explode. Li Ru knows what Liu Cang means. Don't worry about the Queen Mother and Prince, he has no interest in using these two to cause trouble.
Rather than the trouble, it would be easier to find a place for the two of them to establish their country again.
Mud, it's very silly, but it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it.
Father-in-law, there is no point in defending against King Dongping. He will stop playing with us in a minute.
Thinking about Liu Cang's ability to defeat foreigners, thinking about the high-yielding crops that Liu Cang brought back to the Han Dynasty, and thinking about Liu Cang's many seemingly contradictory actions, many things that Li Ru couldn't figure out before suddenly seemed to become clear.
Li Ru thought that it would be better for King Dongping to stay with the Han Dynasty. Well, really, Li Ru was really thinking about the Han Dynasty at this moment.
"Your Highness, King Hongnong will send Jianzhang Palace to Your Highness tomorrow. Now that the decision is pending, I hope Your Highness can give more advice and not let him have uneasy thoughts." Li Ru said in a panic, not daring to talk to Liu Cang anymore.
He actually had the idea just now that it would be a good idea to let Liu Cang become the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Li Ru didn't want his worldview to collapse, and he didn't want to be skinned by his father-in-law, so it would be better to have less to do with Liu Cang.
"Does Wenyou really no longer think about it? Not to mention aquatic products, the Japanese island country is extremely rich in minerals, and Gu Zhengchou has no one to go there. It is indeed good for Wenyou to be an emperor." Liu Cang was a little unwilling to give up.
"Your Highness..." Li Ru was helpless and glanced at He Lian.
"King Hongnong was born in the royal family, so he may be qualified for the job." Li Ru loved reading and had some ideas about Japan.
Li Ru's impression of the Japanese country was that it was barbaric and backward. After hearing Liu Cang's description, it was obvious that he wanted to make the emperor the leader of the miners. Li Ru couldn't help but suggest a better candidate to Liu Cang.
As a prince, if you can't be an emperor, it's not bad to be an emperor.
Liu Cang looked at He Lian, as if he was really thinking. He Lian looked confused. She heard every word of the conversation between the two, but she didn't seem to understand.
"Well, Liu Bian is young, and the Queen Mother also lacks literary skills. Let me think twice." Liu Cang rubbed his chin, and Li Ru became more confident.
If Liu Cang wanted to kill him, Dong Zhuo would still fight Liu Cang desperately. But if Liu Cang wanted to catch him and throw him away to some overseas Japanese island, how about becoming a mining emperor? Isn't the emperor of that damn place as big as Zhou Mu?
Think, you can think as much as you want, as long as you don't think about a certain Li Wenyou.
"Ahem, Your Highness wants to send troops to conquer the rebellious Xiongnu, but is he interested in sending troops to the north to wipe out the Hu Qiang south of the plateau?" Li Ru quickly changed the subject, fearing that Liu Cang would not have any "heroic" thoughts after a while.

"Well, there is a section of the Great Wall between Wuyuan and Wuwei that is vacant. I see it as an eyesore and want to fill it in." Liu Cang nodded.
"..." Li Ru didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.
"Your Highness, the desert over there is long and the mountains and water systems are complex. It can also serve as a buffer for the Xianbei invasion. And building the Great Wall consumes a lot of labor..." Li Ru was a little bit concerned about Liu Cang's move of wanting to build the Great Wall just because he saw the map as an eyesore.
Numb, but still retorted softly.
"The Hu and Qiang people in that area have thrived for many years, wandering freely into the Han territory all the year round, and captured them as slaves to build border fortresses. Moreover, there is no time to build slaves. They are the ones closest to Luoyang, so one or two of them should be eliminated." Liu Cang explained.
Very good. If you are close to you, you will capture people and make them slaves?
Regarding the construction of the Great Wall, Li Ru was not sure whether Liu Cang was talking nonsense, but Li Ru probably reluctantly confirmed that Liu Cang was short of slaves, so he wanted to fight against the Hu Qiang.
"Your Highness still wants to go with the tiger and the bear?" Li Ru asked. In addition to solving the problem between Queen Mother He and Liu Bian, it was also his task to understand Liu Cang's intention on the expedition.
"Well, tigers and wolves have multiplied rapidly in recent years, and the manpower of Lonely Hand is limited, so it is difficult to encircle them. It would be a pity to kill them for nothing. We might as well go looking for those barbarians, and it would not be a waste to die on the battlefield." Liu Cang said calmly, and Li Ru's heart went cold.
Well, if the tigers and wolves have too many babies, it is hard to control them. Just take them to kill people and seize the territory. At the same time, the tigers and wolves can be blamed even if they die. Li Ru simply understood Liu Cang's evil intention.
"Well... Your Highness, if there are many tigers, bears, jackals and wolves, Mr. Dong is willing to buy one or two." Li Ru tried.
"I don't have enough to eat under my command." Liu Cang shook his head and made no attempt to cover up.
Li Ru smiled bitterly. If it had been earlier, Li Ru would have really wanted to advise Dong Zhuo to find a way to kill Liu Cang as soon as possible. This King Dongping was too dangerous.
But today's contact with Liu Cang was not the danger he imagined, but trouble, super trouble.
If there is no need, Li Ru just asks his father-in-law to avoid conflicts with Liu Cang as much as possible.
"Your Highness, everything in the court is unstable now, and I hope that your highness will be cautious in the conquest. If it can be accomplished, it will open up the territory and expand the territory, and also increase the emperor's majesty. If it leads to Liang and chaos in the border areas, I am afraid that it will be difficult to negotiate with the central government." Li
Confucianism said as if to be prepared in advance.

Liu Cang asked Li Ru.
In an area with many sandstorms and desolate areas, it is not surprising that Liu Cang dared to massacre people and was confident of clearing out the Hu Qiang and Li Ru, but the need to transfer Huangfu Song and Fu Xie caused Li Ru to think.
"Your Highness still wants General Huangfu to guard Beidi County?" Li Ru asked with a frown.
"North of the North Land, unless the land is expanded, there will be no establishment." Liu Cang said blankly, Li Ru's brows relaxed, and admiration briefly flashed in his eyes.
"Your Highness is heroic, but that area is not only barren, but also dangerous and chaotic. Where do these two people want to go?" Li Ru asked speculatively.
"It's hard to say, let's station him in Beidi County first. We don't have a suitable candidate yet, and we need to persuade him after the matter is completed." When Liu Cang said this, Li Ru felt reassured and did not question it.
It's hard to say what specific image Liu Cang created in Li Ru's mind, but at least Li Ru believed that Liu Cang wouldn't try to trick him with something of this magnitude.
For the time being, Huangfu Song and Fu Xie are not Liu Cang's people, so there is no need to worry that Liu Cang has already planned the layout of the North.
"In this case, Ru will discuss it with his father-in-law in detail when he returns home." Li Ru respectfully responded to Liu Cang, his eyes moving.
"Your Highness, the Dong family has a daughter, Dong Bai, who is very favored by Mr. Dong and the old lady. Dong Bai is ready to be married. Haha, Confucianism is also a member of the Dong family, and I would like to find a marriage for her and Your Highness." After getting down to business, Li
Ru suddenly smiled at Liu Cang.
"Huh? Zhang Zhi is too young to understand human affairs, isn't it too early?" Liu Cang frowned, and Li Ru twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Your Highness, Ru Yan wishes to ask his father-in-law to marry Dong Bai to Your Highness." Zhang Zhi is the son of Liu Cang and Zhang Xiu Niang. Li Ru explained that he did not want to find a wife for Zhang Zhi, but wanted to give him another daughter-in-law.
"...Wen You, if you put it like that, I'm afraid you are a bit younger than Lu Bu." Liu Cang said quietly. He wouldn't mind marrying more wives, but Dong Zhuo's granddaughter is a bit messy, right?
He is not Zhang Fei.
Li Rudan smiled and wanted to explain, but there was an unusual sound coming from the side.
"Zila~~Zila~~" There was a heartbreaking sound of metal tearing, and Li Ru looked sideways.
I saw Cai Yan holding a gold fruit plate in his hand, tearing the gold plate apart like tearing silk cloth. Looking at Li Ru, Cai Yan smiled gently, and then tore it apart...
"Ahem~~Your Highness, Ru Shang has official duties, so it is inconvenient to disturb him too much. Your Highness, take care, Ru will go." Li Ru made a decision immediately and stood up to leave.
