The ministers of Zhao State gathered together at this moment, their eyes full of fear.
"Tang...The King of Tang is coming."
"I heard that the king of Tang Dynasty was arrogant and did all kinds of evil, and no one could control him..."
"I heard that he is strong and strong, shaped like a tall tower, capable of raising a flag, and has the courage of Xiang Ji."
"Yes, I heard that he acted lawlessly. He was in the Liang Kingdom before, and he was almost beaten to death because Lu Chen, the Prime Minister of Liang, did not pay homage to him. The King of Liang tried to persuade him, but he did not listen. I heard that Prime Minister Lu is still lying down!"
"I heard that he snatched the queen's clan brother from the Liang Kingdom to serve him. If the king's brother didn't obey, he had him cooked and killed!"
"I heard that he beat officials and oppressed the people along the road. Wherever he passed, chickens and dogs were restless. He really did all kinds of evil."
"Emperor Gao had a wise life, how could he have such a son?"
Everyone wiped the sweat from their foreheads and asked, "But since we have Prime Minister Zhou in charge, it should be fine, right?"
"Prime Minister Zhou?? I heard that the King of Tang cursed loudly in Changling. The Prince and Prime Minister of Chang'an just said a few words to him, and was beaten severely by him. Then he was arrested and taken to the Tang State. His whereabouts are still unknown!"
"Then...what should we do? Why doesn't the king look scared at all?"
"The king is the master of a country, how can he show his cowardice?"
"Oh... let's just leave it to fate."
Liu Chang has a reputation as a chivalrous person among the people, but among scholars and ministers of other countries, he has a pure reputation. He is the kind who does almost all evil and may start an army to rebel at any time. Anyway, everyone in the world has concluded that sooner or later, the King of Tang will
On the contrary, it is just a matter of time.
There are even rumors that the king once attacked and beat the emperor in the Xuanshi Palace.
But this "famous" King of the Tang Dynasty was sitting in front of a house at this moment, holding a half-grown child in his arms, and was putting meat into the child's mouth, "Come, eat!"
The little guy took big bites, and Liu Chang raised his head and laughed.
The little guy's parents were sitting on both sides, but they didn't have much worry on their faces.
Liu Chang passed by here and stopped to buy food from them. Although the male host was a farmer, he was also somewhat heroic and said: "There is food for the distinguished guests to eat, but there is nothing to sell!"
Liu Chang was so happy that he asked them to treat him with food. The family brought out their best things to entertain Liu Chang, and even slaughtered the few chickens in their yard. This made Liu Chang immediately
Zhao Ren changed his mind. He really didn't expect that even a farmer in Zhao could be so heroic.
Liu Chang ate the meal with relish, and asked for some wine, and sat down to drink with the farmer. Everyone watched this scene, but no one tried to dissuade them. They all knew what kind of character Liu Chang was. Liu Chang laughed.
He said: "I have heard many people say that Zhao people are cunning, but today it seems that Zhao people are very heroic!"
The farmer hesitated and giggled, unable to speak.
"I have received such hospitality from you today. If I gave you money, it would be disrespectful to you, no doubt about it!"
"King!"
"You go to the market to buy some farm tools and cattle, and bring them to this village so that everyone in the village can use them!"
"only!"
The farmer hurriedly bowed, but Liu Chang put down the child in his hand, stood up, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, if I have the chance, I will come again."
When Liu Chang led the people closer to Handan, he saw people coming to greet him from afar.
"Eldest brother!"
"Eldest brother!!"
Liu Ruyi waved her hands excitedly. Among Liu Bang's many sons, Liu Ruyi was relatively tall, second only to Liu Chang, and the most conspicuous among the ministers. Liu Ruyi stood on tiptoes and watched from afar.
When we arrived, our eldest brother rode a white horse and walked at the front of the team. He raised his head high and looked as arrogant as ever.
Liu Ruyi smiled and walked quickly in the direction of Liu Chang. The ministers followed him, most of them were frightened and sweated on their foreheads. Only the Prime Minister Zhou Bo looked very calm at the moment.
, just staring at Liu Chang in the distance, his eyes unwavering.
Zhou Chang was transferred to Chang'an, and Zhou Bo took his place as the Prime Minister of Zhao.
However, unlike Zhou Chang, Zhou Bo could not live in harmony with the ministers of Zhao. He did not like these people very much, and these people also respected him more than they respected him. They did not dare to say much in front of him. You know,
At the beginning, Liu Chang did not dare to provoke Zhou Bo. This guy was different from Cao Shen. Cao Shen said he was shouting that he was going to beat you and then beat you again, but this guy suddenly punched you without saying a word.
Moreover, Zhou Bo has great military exploits and has grown very fast. When he first attacked Chen Xi, Liu Bang appointed him as the commander-in-chief. Zhou Bo coordinated the overall situation and won consecutive battles. He was no longer a general, but a commander, and he was the commander-in-chief.
Even Xia Houying, Guan Ying and other powerful men had no objections to this matter. What's more, the generals are now old. If Han Xin is not counted, Zhou Bo is the number one general of the Han Dynasty at this time.
When the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu, the first commander Empress Lu thought of was Zhou Bo, which shows his status in the Han Dynasty.
Liu Changzong flew in front of Ruyi, jumped off the horse, picked up his brother, and held him around for several times.
Liu Ruyi shouted, "Shuzi! Put it down! Put it down!"
Liu Chang smiled and put Ruyi down. Liu Ruyi took a deep breath and cursed: "I almost got strangled by you!"
"Hahaha, are you so poor that you can't afford to eat? My Ruyi family is worth more than you!"
"You bastard! Do you think I eat and drink all day long like you?"
Liu Ruyi laughed and cursed, then took his brother's hand and walked towards the city. The crowds hurriedly paid their respects, but Liu Chang ignored them. He just looked at Zhou Bo in the crowd, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shouted with a smile:
"Father Zhong!! How come you can walk faster than me?!"
When Liu Chang was in Chang'an, Zhou Bo clearly had not left yet.
Zhou Bo did not answer, but just saluted.
"Father Zhong, I didn't expect that I could meet you again in Zhao State. It's great. Let's eat chicken later!"
"When I was in Zhao State, I never raised chickens."
"Oh, what a pity!"
Liu Chang said, and then walked towards the city with Ruyi, but Zhou Bo followed at the end, looking at Liu Chang's personal soldiers. These soldiers were all selected by him, and most of them were his old subordinates.
When people saw Zhou Bo, they felt a little guilty. They wanted to salute, but were afraid of being beaten by Zhou Bo. In the past, when Zhou Bo led them, he hated them the most for not obeying military laws. During the march, they encountered the emperor without a leader.
They should not stop to salute even if they are ordered to do so. This is what Zhou Bo once taught them.
At this moment, Zhou Bo suddenly narrowed his eyes, walked over in a few steps, and kicked one of the soldiers.
The man was kicked to the ground. Liu Buyu frowned and hurriedly stepped forward and said to Zhou Bo: "Why did Prime Minister Zhou beat the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?!"
"Ah...father."
Zhou Yafu stood up aggrievedly and looked at Zhou Bo secretly.
Zhou Bo snorted coldly and said: "If you don't march with sharp skills, you should fight."
"Then the Prime Minister shouldn't take action!"
Liu Bushe said coldly, Liu Bushe was once a subordinate of Cao Shen, and he was not afraid of Zhou Bo. Zhou Bo didn't say anything more, turned around and left. Liu Bushe glared at Zhou Yafu and asked him to return to the team, and then everyone continued to leave.
Get up. Liu Chang, who was at the front, actually noticed this scene, but he ignored it. Yafu was so willful that he dared to run out, so even a beating would be considered an advantage for him!
Handan, the capital of Zhao State, is still prosperous. During the war, it was the only city of Zhao State that was preserved and did not suffer too much damage.
The architectural style of Zhao State is relatively large, and the city walls are also tall and thick. The dark and tall city has a different kind of charm, and the Zhao people are just like their city, tall and dark, and don't speak much, but they speak a lot.
Extremely heroic, Liu Chang followed Ruyi all the way into the palace.
The two brothers had just sat down and were about to speak when a woman came in crying and was about to speak, but Ruyi became furious.
"Don't you know that my eldest brother is coming today? Is there anything we can't talk about another day?!"
The woman just cried aggrievedly and did not speak.
Liu Chang shook his head. When did he become a mediator for couples? Did it start when he left Chang'an? Why are there so many shitty things in these brothers' families? Liu Chang really doesn't like this, and Ruyi
He scolded the woman away and turned to look at Liu Chang with a helpless expression on his face.
"Let me guess, she was made to cry by Mrs. Qi, right?"
"Forehead..."
Ruyi didn't reply, but his face became increasingly ugly.
"Come, drink, drink!"
Liu Ruyi said nothing, but ordered the waiter to pour wine. Liu Chang did not ask any more questions. The two brothers ate meat and drank wine. Liu Ruyi asked with a smile: "I heard that I have a son, how is he?"
Are you okay? Did you bring it?"
"I didn't bring him because he was too young. Of course he is very good. Hahaha, he is my son after all. He is much older than other children of the same age!"
There was no displeasure in Liu Ruyi's eyes. He was very happy and said with a smile: "That's great. It's a pity that I can't attend your wedding. I will prepare a gift later and send it to my son!"
"Chief, there is one thing. I told you not to be angry. The white horse you are riding is too conspicuous. You are going to the battlefield next. If you are riding a white horse, it will be too dangerous. Please change it to another one.
, being too conspicuous on the battlefield will make you a target for the enemy!"
"Good luck to you, my butt is not yet hot, and you are interested in my horse. Don't think that I don't know, but you just like my horse!"
"Hahaha, you are such a wolf-hearted bastard!"
"How can I take away your beloved horse? Anyway, if you go to the battlefield in the future, you will not be allowed to ride a white horse!"
"Can you control me?"
"I am your brother, why can't I control it?"
"You said that's right, then I also said that I am your father!"
The two brothers were making trouble, laughing, and drinking.
The two started talking about interesting things when they were young, then talked about other brothers, and talked about the situation in Zhao Guo. As they were talking, Liu Ruyi suddenly started crying.
Liu Chang looked at the drunk Ruyi in front of him and asked with a smile: "Even if you are afraid of me, you can't be scared to tears!"
Liu Ruyi shook her head and patted her forehead, "Eldest brother, you don't know."
"I look forward to you coming every day...I can see you, but I dare not speak."
"You don't know...I also have children."
"If it weren't for her!! If it wasn't for her!! My child..."
Liu Ruyi started to cry, and he said drunkenly: "I dare not say it...I can't say it...She will die if I say it..."
"You know? Zhao Guo is miserable...Zhao Guo has nothing...I have to go to the place in person...I just left home for a while...and she killed my child!"
Liu Chang couldn't laugh anymore. He frowned and looked at Liu Ruyi seriously, "Who?"
"She is pregnant...how can she bear it...how can she kneel outside..."
Liu Ruyi got drunk very quickly, perhaps because he had been suppressed for too long. He held Liu Chang's hand tightly and talked about his pain incoherently. In Liu Ruyi's messy description, Liu Chang gradually
I understand. It's Madam Qi... It seems that Madam Qi tortured a certain pregnant concubine until she lost her child.
"She has to argue every day...she wants to take care of everything, but she doesn't know anything. She just wants to take care of it. She also wants her brother to be the prime minister, hahaha, the prime minister?"
"Several of my beauties have to serve her every day and are abused and tortured by her..."
"I don't have any more children...I don't dare to have children anymore...do you understand?"
"But I dare not say it... If I say it, she will die. She is my mother! She gave birth to me!"
"The ministers alienated me because of her. On the first day Zhou Bo took office, she asked him to kneel down and worship her. Until now, Zhou Bo has not said a word to me..."
"She asked me to build a new palace for her. The Zhao country is so poor, where will I get the money... How can I abuse the people's power!"
"She interfered randomly in the affairs of the country, and gathered a group of relatives around her...all of them were mediocre and incompetent people, and they asked me to arrange official positions..."
"These people are doing all kinds of evil in Handan, bullying the people and seizing farmland, but I can't deal with them!!!"
"I reprimanded her and killed her relatives, so she mutilated herself... forcing me to obey..."
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Liu Ruyi pulled her hair and shouted in pain: "Why don't I die?!"
Liu Chang was very quiet, a bit scary.
He looked at the high-spirited brother crying in front of him with his hair disheveled. He couldn't help but clenched his fists and his face was extremely cold. At this moment, Liu Chang suddenly regretted. Why did he let that damn woman leave with his brother in the first place?
In this way, she obviously regards herself as Empress Lu of the Zhao Kingdom. She has no abilities, but she imitates the Empress Dowager in everything, just tormenting Ruyi for no reason. Young Liu Ruyi's hair is now gray, and she looks abnormal.
of vicissitudes.
He hugged his brother and cried bitterly.
He poured out the pain in his heart heartily.
Probably because he was extremely tired, he just hung on Liu Chang's body and fell asleep.
Liu Chang did not push him away. Instead, he picked up the meat in front of him and ate it hungrily. After finishing the meat in front of him, he took the meat in front of Ruyi and ate again. While eating,
Then he picked up the wine, poured it into his mouth, and drank the wine like a cow. The wine slid down his mouth and soaked his shirt. Liu Chang didn't care. He ate the meat and drank enough wine.
, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, put Ruyi aside, stood up, burped, and strutted towards the harem.
"That Shuzi once plotted to kill me and King Zhao! Now that he has come to the Kingdom of Zhao, we must not let him leave alive!!"
Mrs. Qi is much older than before, but her face has become more fierce, without the slightest kindness.
The attendants around her nodded, and one of them said: "If we kill him directly, we will be afraid of Tang Guo's attack. It is better to poison him with poisonous wine! Besides, he died of illness!"
"What are you afraid of from the Tang State? They are just a group of barbarians. Our Zhao State has a famous general like Zhou Bo, so what are we afraid of from the Tang State?"
"Why don't you kill Liu Chang first, then raise the flag and do something big?"
"With Zhou Bo as general, he summoned an army of 200,000 from Zhao State to attack Chang'an. The throne should have belonged to the king, but Empress Lu perpetuated the imperial edict to let her son take the throne!"
"Hahaha, yes, in this case, we will be the founding heroes of the country!"
The attendants smiled and said that Mrs. Qi actually had some thoughts. Over the years, she had wanted to cause trouble more than once. However, the Prime Minister Zhou Chang was too tough and did not give her this chance at all. And the current Prime Minister Zhou Bo is not very good.
In charge, she asked: "Can Zhou Bo really defeat the Tang Dynasty?"
"Of course... Zhou Bo is a famous general in the world. The Queen Mother can give him some gifts and marry her niece to him so that he can serve you!"
Mrs. Qi still hesitated, and she said coldly: "Liu Chang, Liu Ying, and Lu Pheasant, I must kill these three people! I will let them bear the pain I suffered and bury them alive in Changling.
!!”
While they were plotting, they suddenly heard a shout from afar.
It seemed to be a soldier guarding the door. Everyone was startled and looked over hurriedly. In the darkness, a figure walked into the hall swaggeringly.
"who?!"
"Liu Chang!"
Upon hearing the answer, Mrs. Qi sneered and was about to curse when she saw Liu Chang's appearance clearly.
In Mrs. Qi's impression, Liu Chang seemed to be the little kid he was before. Suddenly he saw a strong man like an iron tower, looking at her eagerly. Mrs. Qi still couldn't finish the words. She hesitated for a moment and backed away.
He took a step forward and said, "Chang Liu? Why don't you come to see me?"
"Hahaha, aren't I coming to see you right now?"
"Mrs. Qi, are you okay?"
"No...nothing's wrong."
Probably because the pressure brought by Liu Chang's physique was too strong, everyone who was clamoring to kill Liu Chang just now lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him at all. Mrs. Qi was also trembling and uncomfortable.
I just felt that the person standing in front of me was not a person, but a man-eating beast.
Liu Chang said with a smile: "I came from Chang'an and didn't bring any gifts. This can be regarded as my greeting gift!"
Liu Chang smiled and threw the things in his hands in front of Mrs. Qi.
Everyone looked down and saw that it was a bloody head. Before he died, his eyes widened and he refused to close his eyes.
"Ah~~~~"
Mrs. Qi screamed.
"Someone is coming!!"
"Someone is coming!!!"
Liu Chang wiped his sword disdainfully and said lazily: "Stop screaming...I have killed all your cronies long ago...Don't waste my time, I still have to go back to sleep."
...Are you coming one by one or together?"
"Your Majesty!! Your Majesty, please spare my life!!"
The attendants had pale faces and knelt in front of Liu Chang, kowtowed and begged.
Mrs. Qi said with a cold face, "You dare not kill me... If you kill me... Ruyi will not let you go."
"Hahaha..."
Liu Chang laughed.
"Then let's try it."
ps: Wow, I’m really tired today. After class, I did another interview, and then I kept typing... Ah, my scalp is numb. This is probably the most tiring birthday I’ve ever had in my life... I’ve got cake
