In the first year of the Han Dynasty, the emperor ordered Tingwei to punish Lu Tai for the crime of disrespect. Tingwei Xuanyi accepted the order and took him into Tingwei's prison.
This incident immediately caused a sensation among the officials.
Prince... ah no, the ministers are very clear about your majesty's character. He is also a talent to be able to force such a gentle majesty to directly bypass the queen and give orders to the imperial lieutenant alone.
What made the ministers more concerned was the attitude of the Empress Dowager. Lu Tai was none other than the eldest son of Zhou Luhou. This was the son of his mother's family who had the closest relationship with the Empress Dowager. With Tingwei Xuanyi's character, Lu Tai fell in
In his hands, it is unlikely that he will continue to live.
When Liu Bang appointed Xuanyi as a court captain, he valued his character. When he learned that Xuanyi had attacked Han Xin in prison, Liu Bang was a little surprised. He once warned him that Han Xin was once a vassal king with a special status, so don't humiliate him.
, but Xuanyi stubbornly retorted: There is no king in prison, only a traitor!
Liu Bang shouted angrily: "Donkey Tingwei!"
From then on, all the officials privately called Xuanyi "Donkey Tingwei". Of course, they would not dare to do so openly. With Xiao He's prestige, Xuanyi was thrown into prison without any special treatment at all.
There were so many shackles that Xiao He deserved, and Xiao He almost died in prison.
But when he did this, the officials all admired him and felt that he was a very dedicated person. Although Liu Bang scolded him, he still used him highly.
If Lu Tai fell into the hands of such a guy, if the Queen Mother remained silent, then Lu Chan should be ready to mourn his eldest brother.
Liu Chang didn't care about this matter at all. He was extremely proud these days and walked much more arrogantly.
At this moment, Liu Chang walked out of Han Xin's mansion, followed by three major family members.
"Today I was chatting with the master about the war, and it suddenly occurred to me that I should train some personal soldiers. The role of a good personal soldier is not inferior to that of a brave general. What do you think?"
Zhang Buyu pursed his lips. If he hadn't just heard Han Xin say this outside the house, he would have believed it!
Luan Bu and Zhao Ping did not look in a hurry, but looked at Zhang Buyi who was standing aside. This was an opportunity for them to give the newcomer a chance to show off, and at the same time, they also wanted to see how capable this new colleague was.
Zhang Bujie said seriously: "What the king said is very true. The king is fond of martial arts. When he goes to the Tang Dynasty in the future, he will definitely resist the Xiongnu, and his own soldiers are indispensable. However, the Tang Dynasty is poor and lacks horses, so we need to form five hundred soldiers."
Human soldiers also need more than a thousand war horses, which the Tang Dynasty cannot gather together. Now that the king is in Chang'an, he can use the strength of the Han Dynasty to form his own soldiers. With his power, he can achieve great things for me."
Hearing Zhang Buyi's words, Zhao Ping shuddered and hurriedly reminded: "Zhang Jun, the Tang Dynasty and the temple are one and the same...Don't speak like that."
Zhang Buyi was not afraid, and he continued: "I don't have any other intention. It's just that our Tang Dynasty is a barrier for the temple, and the temple does not face the Xiongnu directly. What is the use of so many war horses? It is better to use them to strengthen our army.
Tang’s strength!”
"Hahaha, I love hearing this! What's the use of horses for the people of Chang'an? They just drive to show their bravery. They don't want to fight the Huns like the common people!"
"Then what should I do?"
Zhang Bujie said without hesitation: "I would like to ask Your Majesty to select 500 elite soldiers from the Northern and Southern armies. They will be divided into a separate group to serve as the King's personal soldiers. They will receive the food and fodder for the Northern and Southern armies and will accompany the King to the feudal country in the future."
..."
He added: "Your Majesty is close to Guan Hou. You can tell him to help select... You don't have to select strong men, but select some young ones who will serve as commanders of soldiers in each team...
These people can practice the art of war on weekdays and accompany the king. If there is a war, they can be directly assigned to the army and become middle and lower generals. In this way, the king can fully control the army. The combat power of our Tang army will definitely be
It also increased sharply..."
"If we, the Tang Dynasty, also set up northern and southern armies in the future, we can use these people as the basis..."
Zhao Ping's lips trembled, and he reminded again: "Jun Zhang... the princely states cannot set up northern and southern armies..."
"I have no other intention, just to guard against the Huns..."
"No! As a result, the king has become the target of public criticism. Now it is different from the past. In the past, the king was a young master, but now he is the king of a country. With such a big fanfare, if he goes to the fiefdom in the future, the officials in Chang'an will probably not be able to sit still. Even His Majesty
No matter how much you love your Majesty, if there are traitors who continue to seduce Your Majesty, it will definitely affect the relationship between Your Majesty and Your Majesty as brothers..." Zhao Ping could already imagine that if the Tang Dynasty in the future had a strong military and strong military virtues, Prime Minister Cao would even sleep.
It was no longer stable, and people were sent every day to ask if the King of Tang had rebelled...
Why did Liuhou send such a scammer to the king to serve as a savior??
Judging from his words, if the world changes in the future, he will definitely be the first to jump up and persuade the king to rebel!
Luan Bu said: "Don't worry, Duke Zhao... I think Zhang Jun's words actually make sense... The Huns are powerful."
"But now that the king is still in Chang'an, he has to hoard five hundred personal soldiers... In the whole of Chang'an, even the original Prime Minister Xiao did not dare to do this... Doesn't this harm the king?"
"Humph, Mr. Zhao is old and too cautious. Your Majesty is the king of vassals and the prime minister. How can he have the same status as your Majesty?"
One person in the house has water to drink, two people in the house carry water to drink, and three people in the house start to curse.
The three of them expressed their opinions and argued for a long time. Zhao Ping was about to speak to Liu Chang when he turned around and shouted: "Where is the king?"
Zhang Buyi and Luan Bu turned around and saw that the king had disappeared. Okay, let's stop arguing now and go catch the king!
.......
"Ruyi, come on, lie down...haha, so cute!"
Liu Chang rubbed Ruyi's dog head and Ruyi stuck out his tongue, enjoying it very much.
Liu Chang looked at Guan Ying beside him with a smile and said, "Father Zhong... I am looking for you this time. In fact, besides practicing bow, I have other things to do."
"Oh? What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
"Well, Father Zhong also knows that our Tang Dynasty is poor, the people have no clothes to wear, no food to eat...there are thieves among them..."
"Your Majesty, just say it directly..."
"Oh, that's it. I want to form a personal army... about five hundred people."
"Well, does your Majesty want my help in sending people to the Tang Kingdom to train soldiers?"
"No, our Tang state cannot afford to raise them... so we want to recruit 500 soldiers from the Northern and Southern armies... We don't have many requirements. It is best to be those who serve as soldiers and commanders... younger... stronger and able to read."
Yes, and then the North and South Army will pay for food, grass, weapons and so on...and their school grounds...it's better to give some war horses, not too many, just one thousand...and then raise them for me for five or six years.
I'll take him away when I go to the country... Hey, Father Zhong, don't leave, I'm talking about business!"
"I suddenly remembered that I still had state affairs to attend to, so I took my leave!"
Looking at Liu Chang who was hanging on him and couldn't throw it out, Guan Ying said with a sullen face and trembling: "Your Majesty...it's not that I won't help you...you want a soldier...
The entire Northern and Southern armies only have a few thousand soldiers... You still need war horses... You start with a thousand war horses, but the two armies only have less than three thousand horses..."
"Here... let me have another idea... Why don't you just give me the southern army... The northern army will stay in Chang'an... Hey! Father Zhong! Don't leave!!"
While Liu Chang was busy with his personal affairs, Lu Shizhi knelt in front of Empress Lu and begged bitterly.
"Please forgive this child Tai... After all, he is the eldest brother... I went to see Xuanyi before... He looks like this, I don't know how long Tai can survive in his hands... He said
, If you drink during the mourning period and disrespect the new emperor, you should be beheaded..."
"For the sake of my brother, let's keep him as a child!"
Lu Shizhi's eyes were red and he kept kowtow.
Queen Lu looked as calm as ever, without any emotion.
"I have told him many times, but he doesn't listen and acts arbitrarily. For all this, he has no one else to blame but himself."
"The new emperor has given the order, and there is nothing I can do."
Lu Shizhi raised his head and said: "When my brother passed away, we held his hand and swore to him that we would take good care of his two children. How could I break my promise? When my brother was alive, he was the most
I love you...Sister, you have been wronged. I am timid and dare not speak. It is my brother who stands up for you every time..."
Lu Shizhi started to cry.
Queen Lu's hands trembled slightly, "Get out."
"Lu Tai is not allowed to enter the palace until he is dealt with... If you go to the emperor to plead for mercy... I will kill you too!!"
Lu Shizhi looked at his sister in disbelief. He was stunned for a long time and left the Jiaofang Hall in despair.
Empress Lu was sitting alone in the empty Jiaofang Palace, her face was cold, her eyes were cold, but her hands were still trembling.
"Mom~~~"
A howl broke the loneliness and indifference in Jiaofang Hall.
