Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 128 Donkey Tingwei

In the first year of the Han Dynasty, the emperor ordered Tingwei to deal with the crime of disrespect of Lu Tai, and Tingwei Xuanyi took the order and put him into Tingwei's prison.

This incident immediately caused a sensation among the ministers.

Prince, no, the ministers are very clear about His Majesty's character. He can force such a gentle Majesty to go directly past the Queen Mother and give orders to the Tingwei alone. This guy is also a talent.

What made the ministers more concerned about the Queen Mother's attitude was that Lu Tai was none other than the eldest son of the late Zhou Luhou.This is the child of the family who is closest to the Queen Mother. With the character of Tingwei Xuanyi, Lu Tai falls into his hands and is unlikely to continue to live.

When Liu Bang appointed Xuanyi as Tingwei, what he valued was 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 a prince and had a special status, so don't humiliate him. , but Xuanyi stubbornly refuted: There is no king in prison, only a thief's ears!
Liu Bang shouted angrily: Donkey Tingwei!

Since then, all the ministers have called Xuanyi the Donkey Tingwei in private. Of course, he would definitely not dare in the open. With Xiao He's prestige, Xuanyi was also thrown into the prison without any special treatment at all. There are a lot of shackles that should be put on, and Xiao He almost died in prison.

But when he did this, all the ministers admired him and felt that he was a very conscientious person. Although Liu Bang scolded him, he also valued him.

Lu Tai fell into the hands of such a guy. If the queen mother does not make a sound, then Lu Chan should prepare to be mourned for the eldest brother.

Liu Chang didn't care about this at all. He was very proud these days, and he walked with a lot of arrogance.

At this moment, Liu Chang came out of Han Xin's mansion, followed by the three great deceased people behind him.

"Today I was talking with the master about the war. I suddenly thought 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 Budo pursed his lips, if he hadn't heard Han Xin say this just outside the house, he would have believed it!
Luan Bu and Zhaoping did not rush to speak, but looked at Zhang Budo, who was on the side. This was a chance for them to show the newcomer, and at the same time, they wanted to see how capable this new colleague really was.

Zhang Buyi said seriously: "What your majesty said is very true. Your majesty is good at martial arts. When you go to Datang in the future, you will definitely defend against the Huns. Your own soldiers are indispensable. However, my Tang Dynasty is poor and lacks horses. I just want to recruit 500 people." I also need more than 1000 war horses for my own soldiers, and the Tang Dynasty can't get them all together. Now that the king is in Chang'an, he just uses the power of the big man to form his own soldiers, and with his strength, I can achieve great things."

Hearing Zhang Budo's words, Zhaoping shuddered and hurriedly reminded: "Jun Zhang, the Tang Kingdom and the temple are one body, so you can't speak like this."

Zhang Budo was not afraid, he continued: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that my Tang Dynasty is the barrier of the temple, and the temple doesn't face the Xiongnu directly. What's the use of having so many war horses? Tang's strength!"

"Hahaha, I love hearing this sentence! What's the use of fighting horses for the people of Chang'an? It's just a drive to show their bravery, and they don't want to fight against the Huns like widows!"

"What should the widow do?"

Zhang Buyi said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to select 500 elite soldiers from the Northern and Southern Armies, divide them into one part, and serve as the King's personal soldiers, and lead the Northern and Southern Army's food and grass. In the future, he will accompany the King to seal the country."

He added: "Your Majesty is close to the Marquis Guan, but you can tell him to let him help you choose. You don't have to choose the strong ones, just choose some young ones, and they will serve as the captains and pawns of each team in these weekdays. You can practice the art of war and accompany the king. If there is a war, you can directly distribute it to the army and become a general of the middle and lower ranks. In this way, the king can completely control the army, and the combat power of our Tang army will definitely increase sharply. ."

"In the future, if I, the Tang Dynasty, also set up a north-south army, I can use these people as the foundation."

Zhaoping's lips trembled, and he reminded again: "Zhangjun, the feudal lords cannot set up the north and south armies"

"I don't mean anything else, just to guard against the Huns"

"No! As a result, the great king has become the target of public criticism. Now it is different from before. The great king used to be a son, but now he is the king of a country. With such a big fanfare, if they go to the fief in the future, the officials of Chang'an will not be able to sit still, even if His Majesty No matter how much you dote on your Majesty, if there are traitors who keep bewitching His Majesty, it will definitely affect the relationship between His Majesty and His Majesty.” Zhao Ping can already imagine that if the future Tang Dynasty is fiercely armed and has too much martial arts, then Prime Minister Cao will not be able to sleep peacefully. , Every day, people are sent to ask whether Tang Wang has rebelled.
How did Liuhou send such a pitiful piece of goods to the king to be his wife? ?
Judging from his words, if the world changes in the future, he is guaranteed to be the first to jump up and persuade the king to rebel!

Luan Bu said, "No need to worry about Duke Zhao. I think that what Zhang Jun said actually makes sense. The Huns are powerful."

"But the king is still in Chang'an now, so he has to hoard five hundred personal soldiers throughout Chang'an. Even the former Prime Minister Xiao dared not do this. Isn't this harming the king?"

"Hmph, the old man is too cautious. The king is the king of the princes, and he is the prime minister. How can his status be the same as that of the king?"

One benefactor had water to drink, two benefactors brought water to drink, and three benefactors started cursing.

The three of them expressed their opinions and quarreled for a long time. Zhaoping was about to speak to Liu Chang when he turned around and suddenly called out, "Where's Your Majesty??"

Zhang Budo and Luan Bu turned around and saw that the king has long since disappeared. Well, let's stop arguing first, and hurry up and catch the king!
"Ruyi, come, get down, haha, so cute!"

Liu Chang rubbed Ruyi's dog's head, and Ruyi stuck out his tongue, enjoying it very much.

Liu Chang smiled and looked at Guan Ying next to him, and said, "Father Zhong, I'm looking for you this time. In fact, there are other things besides bow training."

"Oh? What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"Hey, Father Zhong also knows that my Tang Dynasty is poor, the people are not clothed, and there are thieves in the house."

"Your Majesty speaks directly."

"Oh, it's like this. I want to form a personal army. About 500 people."

"Well, does Your Majesty want me to help you send someone to Tang Country to train your own soldiers?"

"No, our Tang country can't afford it. So we want to recruit [-] soldiers from the North and South Army. There are not many requirements. It is best to be the long and the long. Younger... Stronger, literate, and then have food and grass. Weapons and other things are also paid by the North and South Army. There are also their school grounds. It is best to give some war horses, not much, but a thousand. Then they will be raised for me for five or six years, and they will be taken away when I go to seal the country. Hey, Father Zhong, don't go, I'm talking about business!"

"I suddenly remembered that there are still state affairs to be done, so I say goodbye!"

Looking at Liu Chang, who was hanging on his body and couldn't be thrown out, Guan Ying said with a sullen face and trembling: "Your Majesty, it's not that the minister won't help you. Thousands of people. You still need war horses. If you say [-] war horses, the two armies have less than [-] war horses."

"This widow has another idea. Why don't you just give me the Southern Army and keep the Northern Army to guard Chang'an. Hey! Father Zhong! Don't go!!"

Just when Liu Chang was busy with his own soldiers, Lu Shizhi knelt in front of Empress Lu and begged bitterly.

"Please forgive this child, Tai, he is the elder brother's first-in-law after all. I went to Xuanyi to be like him before. I don't know how long Tai can live in his hands. He said that Tai drinks alcohol during the funeral, which is disrespectful. The new emperor, be executed."

"Let's look at brother's face, keep him as a child!"

Lu Shizhi's eyes were red, and he kept bowing.

Empress Lu looked calm as always, without the slightest bit of emotion.

"I've told him many times, but he didn't listen and acted arbitrarily. For all this, I don't blame others, only himself."

"The new emperor has ordered, I have nothing to do."

Lu Shizhi raised his head and said, "When my elder brother died, we held his hand and swore to him that we would take good care of his two children. How could elder sister break our promise? I love you, sister, you have been wronged, I am timid and dare not speak, it is always the elder brother who stands up for you."

Lu Shizhi cried.

Empress Lu's hands trembled slightly, "Go out."

"Before Lu Tai is dealt with, you are not allowed to enter the palace. If you go to the emperor to intercede, I will kill you together!!"

Lu Shizhi looked at his sister in disbelief, stunned for a long time, and left the Jiaofang Hall in despair.

Empress Lu sat alone in the empty Jiaofang Palace, her face was cold, her eyes were cold, but her hands were still shaking.

"Mother~~~"

A howl broke the loneliness and indifference in the Jiaofang Hall.
