At the end of the Qin Dynasty, after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched an uprising, the Central Plains were in chaos and there were many military disasters. At that time, the county lieutenant of Nanhai County, Ren Ji, was ill and could not be a director, so he summoned Zhao Tuo, the commander of Longchuan County, and explained to him: "In the autumn of the chaotic world, we should protect ourselves and respond, our southern Guangdong is located in a remote area, there is no disaster, this is God bless us." After I die, you can take on this position, block the passage to the north, and not lightly wade into war. Ren Huan soon fell ill and died, and Zhao Tuo took over the power, and he sent troops to guard the border and block the main road to the north to resist the imperial court. He also removed all the original county orders, replaced them with his own cronies, and established his own independent kingdom, the State of South Vietnam.
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang could not tolerate Zhao Tuo's independence, and he summoned his ministers and said: "The world was originally unified, but at present Zhao Tuo is still called Wang Nanyue, which must be changed." At present, when the war is in full swing, I don't want to use the sword soldiers, as long as Zhao Tuo is a vassal and attaches himself to our dynasty, he can still guard Southern Yue. Some of the courtiers then went to the court and said, "Zhao Tuo is arrogant and rude, arrogant and arrogant, and it is only a difficult thing to recruit him." His Majesty should send a capable man forward, otherwise he will not be able to help if he is afraid of change. Liu Bang then summoned the strategist Lu Jia and asked him to rush to Southern Yue, where he emphatically said: "If you recruit Zhao Tuo, you will know the stakes for him and urge him to wake up." You have a great responsibility to go this time, and you must adapt to everything and be cautious. Lu Jia asked for instructions: "The mountain is high and the road is far away, as long as it does not violate Your Majesty's original intentions, the subject will be engaged in cheap work." If there is something wrong, please do not blame Your Majesty. Lu Jia took the imperial court to seal Zhao Tuo as the king of Southern Yue, and the original Concubine rushed day and night to reach Southern Yue. Zhao Tuo did not value Lu Jia's arrival. He received Lu Jia very casually, without a crown on his head, without a belt, and without any etiquette. Zhao Tuo's contempt made Lu Jia change the strategy he had originally thought of to persuade him. He knew in his heart that for such a person, he must overwhelm him in momentum and prevent him from madness, otherwise it would be difficult to enter.
Lu Jia made up his mind, and also made a rude gesture, saying in a strong voice: "The behavior under the foot is light and crazy, and it is really no different from the barbarians." I am an envoy sent by the Heavenly Dynasty, carrying the emperor's reward to the foot, and the foot is not grateful, treating each other with courtesy, but pretending to be arrogant, is this what the foot should do? This move was nothing more than to confront the Heavenly Dynasty, which was even more ridiculous. If today's son is destined to return to Heaven, and the Son of Heaven pacifies the strong Qin, attacks Xiang Yu, sweeps away all the strong, and those who oppose the Son of Heaven are all dead and annihilated, is it not enough to measure up to their own strength, and they want to follow in their footsteps? Foot is also a Central Plains person, ancestral graves are in the Central Plains, the court etiquette can not be said to be unknown, but the foot pretends to be big, in case of annoying the Son of Heaven, once the Army of Heavenly Sons arrives, can the feet still be safe and sound? ”
Zhao Tuo did not expect this festival, and was shocked by Lu Jia's words, and immediately stood up to apologize and said: "The barbaric land, but let me not know the etiquette, please forgive me." After Zhao Tuo covered up, Lu Jia saw that he had some restraint, and also said in a slightly slower tone: "Knowing mistakes can be changed, and good is not good." ”
Speaking of the right topic, Zhao Tuo's arrogant nature was revealed again, and he actually asked Lu Jia face to face: "I am diligent in government and love the people, and I protect Southern Yuezhi."
The merits of the land are very great, but I don't know how to compare with the emperor? Lu Jia was angry when he heard this, and retorted with a straight face: "The Son of Heaven is rare in the world, and it is enough."
