Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 194
"Go! Go!!"

The Zhou Mansion was extraordinarily lively, with smiling faces everywhere. Zhou Bo's eldest son got married, and no one dared not give face.

Zhou Bo, who had always had a stern face and a posture that no one was close to, was also sitting in the upper seat with a smile. He was considered to be the youngest group of people. Liu Bang regarded him as a confidant, and even regarded him more than Fan Kuai, and his level of trust was only one level lower than that of Lu Wan.

In the later period of Liu Bang's reign, Zhou Bolai was the commander-in-chief in basically all wars, and Zhou Bo did well enough.

During Liu Ying's period, he was dismissed from his official position, and Empress Lv was reinstated. Although he was no longer a captain, he was still one of the nine ministers and had a prominent position.

Among the guests of Zhou Mansion, the most striking are the guys around Zhou Shengzhi.

Around Zhou Shengzhi, there were dozens of teenagers. These teenagers were majestic and handsome, with fresh clothes and angry horses, and their expressions were heroic. The leader was Tang Wangchang. These people were all wearing the same clothes. Only Zhou Shengzhi's clothes were different from them. When these teenagers gathered together, unscrupulously and insolently laughing and laughing, the guests of the entire mansion couldn't help but look at them.

How can you not be envious at such an age?

Unconsciously, the little cubs who cried and cried all day with their runny noses gradually grew up. They were handsome and handsome, and they talked and laughed, as if they had grown up in an instant.

Like Guanying, Xiahouying, Xuanyi, Fan Kuai, and Chen Pingping, they all looked at their child who suddenly grew up, and couldn't help but look at each other a few times, and drank the wine with a wry smile.The cubs grew up, which made them feel their age more and more.

"It's time to pick up the bride! Hahaha, Shengzhi, get in the car, get in the car!!"

Liu Chang shouted happily, and Xia Houzao said impatiently, "I'll drive!"

"You get out of the way, you drive, and the wedding changes. Cough, don't say it's unlucky, buy it! Come on!"

The youngsters got into the car one after another. Zhou Shengzhi was at the front and was about to go out, but an old man in charge of the ceremony stood beside them and shouted, "It's not yet time! It's not time to welcome them yet!"

"Hahaha, old man! Didn't you see that Shengzhi couldn't wait? Go! Go!"

The boys laughed and drove off.

The old man chased after a few steps, and found that he couldn't catch up, so he laughed and scolded from the back, and a few teenagers left the mansion with laughter.

The guests in the house also laughed.

Liu Chang looked at the brothers around him seriously and shouted, "Brothers, today is Shengzhi's big wedding, it must be lively, and he can't lose face! Go to the bride's house, pick her up and go back. On the way, the laughter and laughter cannot be interrupted, and we must happily bring the bride back!"

"Okay! Your Majesty, I see Shengzhi's appearance, and we don't need to speak at all, even giving him a slap in the face is a pleasure!"

"Hahaha~~"

Zhou Shengzhi glared at Lu Lu, "Is this the beginning?"

"What started? What, can't wait? You want to skip to the last step?"

"Hahaha~~"

When they rushed to the bride's house and jumped out of the car, they were all joking. In the midst of laughter and laughter, Zhou Shengzhi went to see his father-in-law and others, and stayed here for the wedding banquet. Dear, Zhou Shengzhi was a little restrained at first, but the guys around him kept joking, which made the atmosphere extraordinarily active!

"Shengzhi, I think your husband-in-law is very strong, you have to listen to your wife!"

"Yes, yes, beware of throwing clothes!"

"Your husband-in-law's wine is very spicy, doesn't he like you very much?"

"Don't say it anymore, lest you wait for the victory to start yelling about breaking the engagement!"

Everyone laughed, and the woman here was surprised to see the large group of people beside the groom. Occasionally, people of the same age came to meet them, and they did not reject them. Whenever anyone came, they would pull over and drink together. Laughing at the groom together, the atmosphere is extraordinarily harmonious.

The bride got into the car, Zhou Shengzhi drove the car himself, and the brothers abandoned the car and followed Zhou Shengzhi on their horses.

Seeing the brothers laughing, flying past him from time to time, and shouting like a show, Zhou Shengzhi also raised his head and laughed.

Zhou Shengzhi's wedding, with the help of the brothers, seemed so lively, and after many years, it was still talked about by everyone.

At the end of many ceremonies, Liu Chang patted him on the shoulder and said cautiously: "Keep your house well, don't beat and scold your temper, and give the brothers a good start." The brothers also congratulated each other. Only Lu Lu was very drunk, grabbed Zhou Shengzhi's hand tightly, and said while crying, "I'm happy for you, my good brother has married, but I can't borrow chickens from you anymore. I remember going back to Tang Dynasty often. The palace."

Soon, Lu Lu was pulled away, and Zhou Shengzhi smiled bitterly, "This guy is drunk, it's like I can't play with everyone in the future."

Liu Chang smiled, but did not speak.

Facts have proved that Lu Lu's crying is not without reason. After getting married, Qun Xian reunited again, and the three brothers of the Zhou family became the two brothers of the Zhou family.Now that he was married, he naturally couldn't continue to hang out. Zhou Bo was not polite and threw Zhou Shengzhi into the Southern Army. Well, Zhou Shengzhi is now patrolling Chang'an with four or five soldiers. What could be more magical than this? Woolen cloth? ?
The Confederate soldier heard that a new superior had arrived. Seeing that he was an acquaintance, his mentality was probably blown up.

"Hahaha? Shengzhi? Is it you? Say it earlier!"

Liu Chang walked around the armored soldiers with a smile, looked at Zhou Shengzhi in armor, and touched his armor curiously, "Why did your father throw you here?"

"Father told me to exercise more. I actually want to go to the Northern Army."

After chatting for a long time, Zhou Shengzhi reminded: "Your Majesty, we have set up a new patrol route. You go and tell them that if you want to play, go to the south of the city. The area I patrol is there."

Seeing their superiors openly colluding with thieves, a few soldiers just pretended not to know anything.

With things to do, Zhou Shengzhi came less and less often, and he couldn't steal chickens like before.

Sitting in the Tang Palace, Luan Bu handed Liu Chang a letter.

"This is Zhao Xiang Zhou Chang's letter."

Liu Chang looked up. In the temple, the queen mother regarded him as her right and left hand, but among the various countries, these state ministers regarded Liu Chang as the leader.For example, this Zhou Chang, in his letter, respectfully inquired about Liu Chang's current situation, and then talked about the Queen Mother's policies.

Frequent rotation of officials in different vassal states will cause officials to be unaware of the local situation and cause confusion in government affairs. The situation in different places is different, and the things they do are different. I hope the king can take the lead in rejecting them.

This is not the first letter that Liu Chang received. Before Zhou Chang, several prime ministers had written to him, hoping that he could dissuade the queen mother.Liu Chang understands their thinking, they don't want to separate, they just don't want to.In all fairness, Liu Chang was also reluctant to take the rotation of the ministers he had finally acquired to go to other vassal states.

But Liu Chang knew that the Queen Mother's policy was beneficial to the Han. The county system did not last long, and the world still maintained the concept of "my king's king is not my king". This is not right. Sooner or later, there is a danger of splitting again.

Liu Chang is not worried that Tang State will also start to rotate. Tang State is still fighting against the Huns. At this time, it is simply seeking death to rotate Tang State's ministers!Do you really think that Modun eats grass?
And these state ministers all took Tang State as an example, saying that this system was unreasonable, and at the same time, they also asked the king of Tang to come forward.

After Liu Chang finished reading Zhou Chang's letter, he frowned and thought for a moment, "Get the pen, the widow wants to reply!"

In the face of such an important official as Zhou Chang, it is obvious that he can't "go all over the world with one word". Liu Chang's reply was quite polite, saying that he would think about this matter carefully, please don't worry about it.

Seeing that Liu Chang had written the letter, Zhang Budo couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Your Majesty, these are all important ministers who have made great achievements. Which vassal state they are in, which vassal state is prosperous because of this, if they can be brought It would be great to bring them all back to Tang to let them be prime ministers in Tang."

"Oh, Zhang Sheren is a good idea. If you pick up all these people, then no country can find talents who can serve as prime ministers. If you do something bad to others, you will become yourself. Zhang Sheren has made great progress."

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke from behind.

Zhang Budo was startled, and when he heard the familiar voice, he turned around abruptly.

Zhang Liang stood at the door, squinting his eyes and looking at the people in front of him. He was wearing very ordinary clothes, but he was very personable, and suited to his age, like a man in a fairyland.

"Father!!"

Zhang Budo saluted Liuhou suddenly.

Luan Bu and others also hurriedly bowed.

"Father Zhong!"

Liu Changxi was overjoyed, and rushed to Zhang Liang's side in a hurry, grabbed his hand, and asked happily, "Has Father Zhong finally decided to help me?"

Zhang Liang was still very kind to Liu Chang, squeezed his face and said with a smile, "I want to come and see your letter when I see it."

"That's great, come on, Father Zhong, please take your seat!"

Liu Chang pulled Zhang Liang and let him sit in the upper seat, while he sat beside him to show his respect.Zhang Liang sat down and said with a smile, "This mansion is really not small."

"Of course, this is what my eldest sister gave me. If Father Zhong is willing to live in Chang'an, I will give this mansion to Father Zhong!"

Zhang Liang didn't answer either, but asked, "How did you reply to Zhou Chang?"

"Ah? How did Father Zhong know that I replied to Zhou Chang?"

Liu Chang still did not give up Zhang Liang as a believer all these years, and always wrote to him constantly. Although Zhang Liang never replied, although Liu Chang said about the New Deal in his letters, he never mentioned about Zhou Chang.Luan Bu said with a smile: "If Liuhou can't even see this, then it's not Liuhou."

"Yes, yes!" Liu Chang also laughed, and suddenly asked, "Since Father Zhong can see that Zhou Chang wrote to me, why would you ask me what I replied to him? Can't you see it?"

"It can be seen. It is probably: Father Zhong, I am in good health and everything is fine. I already know about this matter. I will discuss it with Qun Xian. Please don't worry. When the princes and kings arrive, I will welcome them in person."

Zhang Liang started talking, but Liu Chang was stunned.

"Father Zhong!! Are you a human?! It's fine if you can tell, you even know what I wrote? Not bad for a penny??"

Zhang Liang shook his head, "It's nothing. You put your reply directly on the slip, as long as you're not blind or illiterate, you can see it."

Liu Chang turned his head, only to see the reply on the case, and everyone burst into laughter.

"Then Father Zhong thinks it's okay for me to reply like this?"

"No. Zhou Chang is the most sincere person. If you reply like this, he will definitely think that you are deceiving him. You should write back and tell him: This is very difficult, I can't do it, and I don't know how to act at all. event."

"Ah?? Do you really want to reply like this?"

"If the king does not believe it, you can reply to the letter according to your own ideas."

"No, no, I believe, believe, get the pen!"

Liu Chang immediately wrote another letter. After writing, he was about to tear up the previous one, but Zhang Liang stopped him, "Your Majesty may wish to send him both letters together."

Everyone was confused, but Liu Chang still chose to believe in Liuhou. This man is smarter than himself, and it is right to listen to him.

"Father Zhong, but I still don't understand."

"No problem, you will understand when you receive Zhou Chang's letter again."

"Father Zhong will definitely stay a little longer when he arrives this time, right?"

Zhang Liang glanced at Zhang Budo and said, "Here, I'm distracted, and it's not suitable to live for a long time."

Facing his father's look, Zhang Budo hesitated to speak. The relationship between father and son was not very good, and Zhang Budo and his father were far less close than his younger brother.Liu Chang avoided this problem and hurriedly set up a banquet to entertain Zhang Liang. Soon, Zhang Biqiang also came here to visit Liuhou.

Different from his elder brother, he saw his father, his face was full of joy, the two met cordially, Zhang Liang asked many things, Zhang Piqiang also answered them one by one, compared to his elder brother, Zhang Piqiang was much better, now He is about the same age as Qunxian, but he is already serving as an official for Jiuqing. What kind of concept is this?In a few years, he will be able to take the position of Jiuqing, that is to say, the big man may be able to have a Jiuqing who is only in his 20s.

In Chang'an, his reputation is also very big. Whether it is the emperor or the empress dowager, they all value him very much, and the ministers love him very much.

Zhang Budo stood in the distance, his expression even more lonely, and he didn't even greet his younger brother.

The two were in Chang'an at the same time, but they didn't communicate much, and their personalities were completely different. Zhang Biqiang was a thief-like father, the same intelligence, the same calmness, thorough work, and never made mistakes.

Zhang Liang smiled and let Zhang Biqiang sit beside him.

Liu Chang suddenly raised his face.

"How can a widow give up a man, how can he sit under his subordinate officials?!"

"Subordinate officials can sit at the end of the table, no doubt, come here!"

With a wave of Liu Chang's hand, Zhang Biqiang didn't say anything, turned around and sat at the end of the table, while Zhang Buzhu was a little hesitant. He looked at Zhang Liang, there was no anger on Zhang Liang's face, he just watched this scene calmly. , Zhang Budo gritted his teeth, and sat beside Liu Chang, raising his head high, his face unafraid.

The atmosphere of the banquet was a little quiet, but Liu Chang said with a smile: "Father Zhong! The widow has to thank you! You asked Zhang Budo to assist the widow. During these years, the widow has nothing to do with the widow. , He never doubts what he does, he does what he says, and so far he has not done anything wrong!"

"If he is secretive, cherishes his body, speaks unhappily, and only thinks about protecting himself before doing anything, then he really doesn't look down on him! Such a person, no matter how talented he is, is nothing but an official. , it's hard to do great things!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang raised his head and smiled, "Your Majesty, is this blaming the minister?"

"Ah? Where did Father Zhong go? How dare I say that about Father Zhong!"

Zhang Liang looked at Zhang Budo and was about to speak, but Liu Chang said again: "Liuhou, this is my lover. If you want to say anything, you can say in private that he is not Cao Cheng!"

Zhang Liang laughed again, no longer talking about it, and said: "I will stay in the court for a while. When the princes and kings arrive, the king must remember that you must not go to see you, but let them come to see you. I will come to you later. I'm going to see the Queen Mother."

Zhang Liang came here for the Queen Mother. Or, he came for the world. Liu Chang nodded and agreed.

When the banquet was over, Zhang Liang slowly got up and bid farewell to King Tang.

When he walked out of the mansion, Zhang Budo didn't see him off, Zhang Budo stood at the door and said loudly: "Liuhou, I still have something important to do, please allow me to finish my own affairs, and see you again! "

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, turned around, looked at his son in front of him with soft eyes, and nodded with a smile, "Zhang Sheren did a good job, then I will leave."

After Zhang Biqiang left here, Zhang Liang walked towards the palace.

"Father. Did the queen mother invite you here?"

"Yes."

"What is the queen mother going to do, there is no need to use any tricks at all, why did you want my father to come?"

Zhang Liang didn't answer, and said in a low voice: "The princes and kings are easy to deal with. It's just that the prime minister is not asking for his generation. Besides, I also want to meet my friends. See you and don't doubt."

"No doubt here, I can rest assured, but you. You should leave the temple as soon as possible and go home with me."

"Ok??"

In Tang Wangfu, Zhang Budo looked at Liu Chang and was about to bow down, but Liu Chang dragged him over, "Don't bow first, some of my brothers are coming, go and arrange for your own soldiers to let him go. They are practicing in various places outside the city these days, always paying attention to the movements of the various princes and kings, and if they find them approaching, they will come and let them know!"

"only!!"

After seeing Zhang Budo away, Luan Bu stood beside Liu Chang and said, "Your Majesty, why are you treating Liuhou like that today?"

"A widowed minister, it's not his turn to teach him a lesson, not even his grandfather!"

Luan Bu was suddenly moved.

"What's more, Liuhou is a gentle person, and he is not a thief of Cao. A person like Chen Ping will not be angry." Liu Chang said with a grin, Luan Bu's heart was moved once again. Afraid of the evil one, right?
"Luan Bu, Ruyi is coming. He doesn't have a mansion in Chang'an. Do you think I should build another nest for him in the mansion, so that Ruyi and Ruyi can squeeze together!"

"Your Majesty, King Zhao must be followed by important officials this time, but he can't be humiliated in person. Back then, the late emperor was so rude because Zhang Ao was close to him, which caused his subordinates to be angry and wanted to rebel. "Your Majesty, pay attention to your words and deeds."

"Don't worry! I have learned rituals from Zhang Xiang for more than 20 years. I have studied rituals to the point where I can explain them. Zhang Buyi suggested that temples be built in the Tang Dynasty to worship Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi and others. I still want to Don't make one for yourself."

"Absolutely not!!!"

ps: After more than a month of hard work, I finally ushered in the harvester to write and discard it.

My right hand joint is swollen and it started to hurt when I typed on the keyboard. Now it’s not easy to go to the hospital to finish writing it early, and then I have to go to the clinic to have a look. They said that there may be fluid accumulation. ! !
