Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 201 Who is the barbarian? ?
"Hahaha, the mighty king!!"

"At that time, I saw the king riding a horse and holding a person in his arms. I was really excited! It's not a loss for the king to be a king, this family is different!"

Lu Lu said happily, dancing and describing the scene.

"Yes, at that time we all followed the king and rode horses and carts in the city together. Unfortunately, Xiahouzao's car overturned and blocked the road, otherwise we would have followed the king to the outside of the city!"

Xiahouzao was furious and shouted, "I'm not the only one who overturned the car! Why are you only talking about me?!"

Zhou Yafu was also very angry and scolded: "nonsense! You suddenly overturned the car, and we hit you, so of course we have to overturn, not to mention who you are talking about?"

"Isn't he just before me? He didn't bump into me!"

"He didn't bump into you, the problem is that you bumped into him!"

Xiahouzao couldn't refute it when several people joined together to denounce it, and his face flushed with anxiety, "Why? I paid great attention when driving, why did the car roll over?"

"Would you try driving with your eyes open next time?"

"You bastard!"

Xia Houzao was furious, and immediately got into trouble with Chen Mai, Liu Chang laughed, "Okay, okay, how old you are, and still making trouble here!"

Looking at the surrounding sages, Liu Chang said: "Now, we are all grown up and can't do urchins anymore!"

Lu Lu glanced at the mutton in his hand and hesitated.

"We gotta do big things! Understand?"

"Your Majesty, give your order!"

Liu Chang then said: "In the near future, King Yuezhi will come to Chang'an, and I have been ordered to meet him. When the time comes, a few of you will come with me, chat with them more, and communicate with them, preferably for a few months. 's friend"

Liu Chang gave an order, and everyone nodded.

"Also, always pay attention to the situation in Chang'an. If you find anything, come to me as soon as possible!"

Everyone chatted, and the topic shifted to marriage again. Lu Lu asked curiously, "Is Your Majesty really going to get married?"

"It shouldn't be so fast. The widow has a lot of work to do."

Liu Chang touched the tip of his nose and said hesitantly.

"Zhou Shengzhi got married. Soon, I will get married too. Now the king is going to get married." Lu Lu shook his head and said with emotion: "The sun and the moon are gone, and the years are not with me."

Chen Mai glanced at him, "What you said is like a sixtieth year old. You haven't established your crown yet, so don't say such a thing! We all know that you read the Analects and that you are going to get married, so you don't have to always mention it. do you know?"

Lu Lu hesitated and was speechless, and hurriedly defended: "I just think this is too fast!"

Chen Mai stroked his chin and said seriously, "Our grandfather fought in his early years, so he became a family very late. We are different. If you were in the countryside, at your age, you would already be a father of three children!"

Lu Lu glared at him and said, "Don't touch it, you don't even have a beard, so what are you petting? Are you pretending to be Chen Hou here?"

Liu Chang happily ate the meat, but Mr. Fan suddenly sat next to him. Mr. Liu handed him a piece of meat. Mr. Fan shook his head, which surprised Liu Chang. When did this fellow start to have a face? already?Fan Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Qing has been crying."

"Ah? Cry? Who bullied her?"

Fan Yan glanced at Liu Chang and said in a muffled voice, "She seems to love the king very much."

"Cough, cough, cough~"

Liu Chang was almost choked to death by the meat, and finally swallowed the meat, his eyes widened, and he looked at Mr. Fan, "What did you say?"

"What are you talking about, Qing grew up with us." After replacing Cao Shu with Fan Qing, Liu Chang imagined it for a while, but he felt horrified, shook his head and said, "Don't make such a joke! "

"Father is very angry, Your Majesty, be careful."

Fan Yan said.

"Uh, how old do you think Father Zhong is now?"

Liu Chang asked cautiously.

"Are you over fifty years old? I don't know."

Fan Yan replied thoughtfully.

Liu Chang suddenly raised his head and said proudly: "Humph! How can a widow be afraid of Marquis Wuyang? If he comes to find me for no reason, I have something to say!"

After sending Qun Xian away, Liu Chang still felt a little incredible. Qing played with him since he was a child, and he always fought with him. How could it be? ?He shook his head, and the five people came in and saluted King Tang before sitting down separately.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Budo's face was full of smiles, and he shook his head, "Your Majesty's actions are always unexpected and unpredictable. It's not a shame that it's Your Majesty, hahaha, this trick not only scared Cao off. Family, even the rest of the ministers are afraid at this moment, and they don't dare to point and point again! Nonsense!"

Liu Chang raised his head and said humbly: "The widow is just resourceful, and has some peaks in strategy, it is not worth mentioning!"

Zhang Budo added, "Your Majesty, why don't you take this opportunity to dismiss those ministers who don't like your Majesty, and put us in important positions such as Lang Zhongling?!"

"Zhang Budo!! You are a rebel!!"

Duke Zhao immediately shouted.

Zhang Buyu said with a straight face, "I don't mean anything else, it's just that the ministers are fighting endlessly. It's better to replace our people, and we can save a lot of trouble and concentrate on fighting the Xiongnu!"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Luan Bu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the princes and princes are all about to leave, so you better prepare to see them off."

"No hurry. Wait until they actually leave."

"The widow has something to do!"

Liu Chang said seriously, and Jia Yi asked curiously, "Is your Majesty going to meet the ministers?"

"Why am I going to meet the ministers?"

"Your Majesty, you can appease the hearts of the ministers properly now. I heard that many old ministers have resigned in the past few days and want to go home."

"Returning home and enjoying happiness. It's also right, they are not too young."

Liu Chang said, and stood up, "The widow should go to work first, and then discuss these things after they are done!"

"only!!!"

"Hey hey hey"

Liu Chang stood beside Cao Shu with a smirk, holding her hand. Cao Shu looked at him and shook his head helplessly.

"I wasn't angry that you didn't have to."

"I'm doing this to protect the Cao family, Shu. Next, I have to meet the Yuezhi King and say goodbye to the brothers. Anyway, there are still a lot of things to do. When I'm done, I'll marry you!"

"Um"

"Aren't your grandparents angry?"

"Mother is okay. Father doesn't want to talk to me anymore."

"It's okay, when you give him a grandson, he will definitely talk!"

Liu Chang grinned, and Cao Shu blushed again, "Keep your voice down!"

"What's this?! What are you afraid of?! Hey~~~ I want a son~~~" Liu Chang raised his head and shouted, Cao Shu was even more shy, lowered his head and didn't dare to look up at all.

"Cough cough."

With a cough, Cao Can walked into the inner room with a black face, holding a cane.

"Why didn't your Majesty go to the Jiaofang Hall and roar?"

"Ah? Father Zhong? Why are you here!"

Liu Chang grinned, and hurriedly walked to Cao Can's side and supported him. Cao Can looked at the guy in front of him and couldn't say anything. Liu Chang supported him and sat down. Cao Shu lowered his head tightly. Not daring to speak, Cao Can glanced at her and said, "Go to your mother's place, my son-in-law and I have something to say."

Only then did Cao Shu leave the inner room, and Liu Chang smirked and sat in front of Cao Can.

"Your Majesty, you are arrogant in the temple and reprimand the ministers. You are really majestic."

"What's the prestige? It's just burning some dead wood."

Cao Can said slowly: "Master. You despise the ministers too much. How can the founding minister be the same generation?"

"Don't dare to underestimate. If it had been 20 years earlier, I wouldn't have dared to yell in front of you. But now, the founding ministers are old and mediocre. Except for a few, all of them are immersed in their past achievements. Contemptuous, unaware of the changes in the world, thinking that he was an important minister of the former emperor, so he intervened in the affairs of the clan, saying that he was for the emperor, but silently saying that he was for the world, and he said it with dignity."

"When the Empress Dowager was in power, they didn't say anything. When the Empress Dowager ordered the release of the ministers, the distribution of arable land, and the strict ministers privately reserved their ministers and took back the land other than the reward, they suddenly became loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, threatening to Return politics to the emperor!"

"For example, some ministers turn a blind eye to everything, and when their daughters and grandsons are in danger, they immediately become ministers who care about the loneliness, attaching importance to this great Han Jiangshan, and want to oppose the queen mother."

"I finally understand why the Queen Mother refused to kill Wang Ling."

"Perhaps among all the ministers who want to deal with the queen mother, Wang Ling is the only one who really wants to protect the emperor and really does it for the sake of the world."

"It's a pity that those warriors who drove the charge and followed Emperor Gao to fight in the Quartet now annexed the land of the common people, took the common people as vassals, built luxurious mansions, privately took the armor of temples, used war horses to drive for themselves, sheltered each other, Recommend your own relatives to be officials Cao Prime Minister, you say, where did those warriors go?"

"They weren't like that when I was young."

"I remember very clearly that when my grandfather held a banquet, they were all heroic. They brought their wine, put on armor, and wore swords.

"How come today, they have become stupid and shameless villains who are greedy for money and profit?"

Cao Can's lips trembled, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

"If I had threatened the ministers like this ten years earlier, I'd be afraid that I would go to see my grandfather tomorrow, right? Even my grandmother probably wouldn't be able to protect me. But what about now? From last night until now, the ministers gave me The gifts were almost piled up in the Tang Palace, and they sent people over to say some flattering words to me, and some people even vaguely said they were willing to follow me."

"This is the official minister of the Manchu Dynasty. If Grandpa was still here, he would never recognize these old brothers."

"Only Chen Ping, Guan Ying, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and Xuan Yi, these five people have not sent anyone to look for me, nor have they given me a gift, but I value them very much. Finally, there are still some left under my father's command. Hard bones, of course, also because these people are the youngest and I don't know if they will be like that in a few years."

"This time, I originally wanted to kill, but when I looked at these people and saw the fear in their eyes, I understood that they didn't deserve me to do it. They were addicted to drinking and enjoying themselves all day long. It's gone. The spirit of the year did not dare to oppose me. Therefore, I only need to stare at those five hard bones!"

"What does Father Zhong think?"

Liu Chang asked.

Cao Can was stunned for a long time, but did not reply.

"Father Zhong, oh, no, husband-in-law. Since you are old, you can enjoy your old age in the mansion, and leave the rest to us. You have fought for most of your life, so why bother in your old age?"

"I really don't want to do anything to you. I respect you very much, but it's not the people who are today. What I respect is the people who followed behind Emperor Gao and didn't indulge themselves in wealth and honor. I still have work to do, and my husband-in-law doesn’t have to send them off!”

Liu Chang turned and left the inner room.

Cao Can sat in the inner room dumbfounded, slowly looking at his wrinkled hands, a line of clear tears suddenly fell in his eyes, where did those warriors go?

Liu Chang set up a banquet in the mansion and summoned Chen Ping, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and Guan Ying to come.Xuan Yi didn't bark. After all, this Donkey Tingwei, oh, no, Donkey Censor, is not something that can be moved by words at all.

When they arrived, they were surprised to find that the princes were also here, sitting on the left side of Liu Chang. As soon as they came in, the eyes of the princes stared at them, but none of these people felt how. After meeting with Chang Liu, he sat on the right side of Chang Liu.

"Hahaha, Father Zhong, since I have this mansion, there have not been so many talents gathered together. This is my honor, drink it!"

Liu Chang said with a smile, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo did not speak, Fan Kuai stared at him displeased, and Guan Ying couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"I have nothing else to do, I just want to entertain a few Zhong Fu. Come, let's talk about personal affairs today, regardless of state affairs!"

Liu Chang said with a smile, soon, someone brought food and drinks, and Liu Chang started the banquet.

The princes and these ministers looked at each other, not knowing what Liu Chang wanted to do.

Liu Chang was just talking and laughing, telling everyone not to be restrained, to eat and drink casually, and someone to play music. Zhang Budo asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you want me to dance with swords?"

Fan Kuai snorted suddenly.

Put it in front of me and play the Hongmen Banquet, right?you too? ?
Liu Chang waved his hand, "If you hurt someone, it's not good, you don't have to dance the sword!"

The crowd started to eat. Halfway through the feast, Liu Chang had eaten and drank his fill, wiped his mouth, and Guan Ying asked again, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"Hahaha, it's like this. The Queen Mother previously rewarded a lot of state ministers and let them enter the temple as officials, but all countries lack a lot of state ministers. You are all important ministers in the temple, and you are the youngest, so you might as well replace them. People go to various countries as ministers, how about that?"

"I've made up my mind! Guanhou can go to the state of Yan, Marquis Chen can go to the state of Tang, Marquis Zhou can go to the state of Qi, Uncle... if you want, you can go to the state of Wu."

Liu Chang said with a smile, but the expressions of several ministers changed drastically.

This is to kick them out of the temple and keep them away from the center of power!
Chen Ping asked curiously: "Is this the meaning of the queen mother, or the idea of ​​the king?"

"A family's words!"

Chen Ping was unmoved, and said calmly: "If the Queen Mother ordered, I would not dare not obey."

Chen Ping is confident. At present, he and Guan Ying serve as the left and right ministers. They are all responsible for handling all national affairs. Although Zhou Bo is no longer a captain, he is in charge of the Northern Army again. How could these people be thrown out of Chang'an? ?Among the ministers of the temple, their role is the most important. If they leave, the temple will not be able to operate in a short time.

"Okay! Since Chen Hou agreed, I will go to the Queen Mother later!"

Chen Ping looked at Liu Chang who was smiling all over his face, and felt that something was wrong, he frowned, but did not speak.

The princes are a little surprised, want these ministers to be the prime minister for themselves? ?That's something you can't even think about.

The same is the founding hero, but there is also a difference. People like Chen Ping and Zhou Bo are among the best among the founding heroes. The only one who can help them is Liu Fei, the king of Qi, who was once Let Cao Can come to assist, and the rest have never had this qualification.

Liu Chang didn't say anything more and ended the banquet soon.

This made everyone a little confused.

Chen Pingren said goodbye and left, but Fan Kuai stayed.

"uncle!!"

Liu Chang smiled and walked in front of Fan Kuai. Looking at Liu Chang, Fan Kuai hesitated for a long time before he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

After these few people left, Liu Fei hurried to Liu Chang's side, "eldest brother, what do you mean?"

"It doesn't make any sense. I just want to find a good prime minister for you."

"But they are all important ministers in the temple, how can they be ministers in the feudal lords?"

"Can you not talk about it for a while, brothers, don't worry. There will be a result."

Liu Chang squinted his eyes, Liu Heng looked at him thoughtfully, and said, "Elder brother, be careful."

"Do not worry!"

At this time, King Yuezhi gradually approached Chang'an.

King Yuezhi was not the first alien race to be crowned king by the great king, and the covenant of the king would not restrict these alien races.The big Han still values ​​the Yuezhi very much. After all, this is the only tribe on the grassland that has the ability to fight against the Huns for so long, and their attachment will bring huge benefits to the big Han, the war horse.

The Yuezhi is here, and the war horse is there!

And with the big Han as a support, the Yuezhi can also ensure that they will not be killed by the dead. In these years, the Huns have constantly forced them to flee. If the big Han did not take them in, they would have gone to the Western Regions. In history, they ran all the way to The Western Regions, from the Western Regions, went to the South Asian subcontinent, annihilated the countries here, and established a country with a little reputation in later generations. This country is called Guishuang.

Liu Chang bragged to his good brother who came to trade horses, and then he blew up a huge empire.

Liu Ying was actually reluctant to let Chang Liu go to greet him, so she was worried that he would be fooling around again and affect Yuezhi's attachment, but the Queen Mother made the decision to let him go. , don't do things that humiliate them!

Liu Chang brought his own companions and a few great sages, escorted by his own soldiers, and went to greet the Yuezhi King.

They met in the middle of the road, and King Yuezhi stopped the car frame. He personally led people out and recognized King Tang from the many people who came. King Yuezhi awkwardly followed the manner of a big man and prepared to salute, but Liu Chang A few strides, holding his hands, smiled and shouted in Yuezhi: "You and my brother, why do you need to salute?!"

King Yuezhi was shocked and asked in Chinese: "Your Majesty actually understands Yuezhi's language?"

"It was taught by a good brother of mine! What, is it okay?!"

"Okay! That's great! Dare to ask the king's brother's name?"

"There are so many Yuezhi brothers, I can't say enough, come, don't be polite, I brought wine!" Liu Chang proudly looked at the Yuezhi people around him and waved his hand, "What are you doing standing here! Come drink with me!! Do you have any meat?!"

"Have!!"

Seeing that Liu Chang and King Yuezhi were hanging on their shoulders, they sat down, chatting loudly about women, and everyone sat around them wantonly, chatting and laughing, grabbing the meat with their hands and eating, and drinking heavily.Not far away, he came with him, and Uncle Sun Tong, who was about to read out the edict, was dazed.

Barbarians, barbarians, barbarians! ! !
