Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 223 Let's try

"I heard. King Tang is coming."

The officials of Zhao State gathered together at this moment, and their eyes were full of horror.

"Tang Tang Wang is coming."

"I heard that the king of Tang is arrogant, he does all evil, and no one can control it."

"I heard that he is strong and strong, shaped like a tall tower, capable of erecting flags, and has the courage to be a member."

"Yeah, I heard that his actions are lawless. He was in Liang before, but because Liang's Prime Minister Lu Chen didn't pay homage to him, he almost killed him. King Liang tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen. I heard that Lu's Prime Minister is still lying down!"

"I heard that he stole the queen's clan brother in Liang country to serve him. If the king did not obey, he would be killed!"

"I heard that he beat officials and oppressed the people along the road, and the places he passed were uneasy. He really did all kinds of evil."

"Emperor Gao I was wise, how could there be such a son?"

Everyone wiped the sweat from their foreheads and asked, "However, we have Zhou Xiang in charge, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Zhou Xiang?? I heard that Tang Wang yelled at Changling, and Chang'an Wang Ling Wang Xiang only said a few words to him, and he was beaten, and then he was taken to Tang country, and his whereabouts are still unknown!"

"Then what are we going to do? Why doesn't your Majesty seem afraid at all?"

"Your Majesty is the lord of a country, how can you show your cowardice?"

"Oh, let it be your fate."

Liu Chang has a reputation as a chivalrous person among the people, but among scholars and ministers of other countries, it is pure notoriety. He is almost the kind who does all kinds of evil and may rebel at any time. Anyway, everyone in the world has already concluded that sooner or later, the king of Tang will meet. Instead, it's just a matter of time.

There are even rumors that the king once shot at the emperor in the Xuanshi Hall and beat the emperor.

And this "reputable" King Tang is sitting in front of a family's door at the moment, holding a half-year-old child in his arms, and is holding the meat in the child's mouth, "Come, eat!"

The little guy took a big bite, and Liu Chang raised his head and laughed.

The little guy's parents sat on both sides, but there was not much worry on their faces.

When Liu Chang passed by, he stopped to buy food from them. Although the host was a farmer, he was proud and said, "There is food for guests to eat, but there is nothing to sell!"

Liu Changda was overjoyed, so they let them take out food to entertain him. The family brought out their best things to entertain Liu Chang, and even slaughtered the few chickens in their yard.This made Liu Chang suddenly change his opinion of Zhao Ren. He really did not expect that Zhao Di would have such a heroic spirit even as a farmer.

Liu Chang ate the meal with relish, and asked people to bring wine and sit down with the farmer for a drink. Everyone watched this scene, but no one discouraged him. They all knew what kind of character Liu Chang was.Liu Chang said with a smile: "I heard a lot of people say that Zhao people are cunning. Today, it seems that Zhao people are very proud!"

The farmer faltered and smirked, but he was speechless.

"To receive such hospitality from you today, if I give you money, it will be disrespectful to you, no doubt!"

"Your Majesty!"

"You go to the market to buy some farm tools and cattle, and send 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, "Don't be too polite, if there is a chance, I will come again."

When Liu Chang led people close to Handan, he saw all the people who came to greet him from afar.

"Elder brother!"

"Eldest brother!!"

Liu Ruyi waved his hand excitedly. Among Liu Bang's many sons, Liu Ruyi was considered relatively tall, second only to Liu Chang, and he was the most conspicuous among the ministers. Liu Ruyi stood on tiptoe and watched from afar. When he arrived at his eldest brother, his eldest brother rode a white horse and walked at the front of the team, raising his head high, as always arrogant.

Liu Ruyi smiled and walked in the direction of Liu Chang quickly. The ministers followed behind him, most of them were frightened and sweating on their foreheads. Only the Minister of the State, Zhou Bo, looked very calm at the moment. , just staring at Liu Chang in the distance, his eyes did not waver.

Zhou Chang was transferred to Chang'an, and Zhou Bo succeeded him as Prime Minister of Zhao.

However, unlike Zhou Chang, Zhou Bo couldn't get along with the courtiers in Zhao Di. He didn't like these people very much, and these people also respected him more than he did. He didn't dare to say much in front of him. You know, At the beginning, Chang Liu didn't dare to provoke Zhou Bo. This guy is different from Cao Can. Cao Can said that he wanted to beat you and then beat you again, but this guy suddenly punched without saying a word.

What's more, Zhou Bo can be regarded as a great military exploit and has grown very fast. When he attacked Chen Xi, Liu Bang asked him to be the chief general. Zhou Bo took care of the overall situation and won consecutive battles. Even Xia Houying and Guan Ying have no objection to this matter, not to mention that the generals are old now, if Han Xin is not counted, Zhou Bo is the number one general at this time.

When the big Han fought back against the Xiongnu, the first commander that Empress Lu thought of was Zhou Bo, which shows his status in the big Han.

Liu Chang flew his horse to Ruyi, turned over and jumped off the horse, hugged his elder brother, and carried him around 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 scolded, "I was almost strangled by you!"

"Hahaha, are you so poor that you can't afford to eat? My family's wishful thinking has more weight than yours!"

"You bastard! You think I eat and drink like you all day!"

Liu Ruyi laughed and scolded, then took his brother's hand and walked in the direction of the city. The group hurried to meet them, but Liu Chang ignored them, just looked at Zhou Bo in the crowd, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly laughed and shouted: "Father Zhong!! How can you walk faster than me?!"

When Liu Chang was in Chang'an, Zhou Bo clearly hadn't left.

Zhou Bo didn't answer, he just saluted.

"Father Zhong, I didn't expect that I would meet you again in Zhao State. It's great, I'll eat chicken later!"

"I'm in the state of Zhao, and I've never raised chickens."

"Oh, what a pity!"

Liu Chang said, and followed Ruyi to the city, but Zhou Bo followed at the end, looking at Liu Chang's personal soldiers. These personal soldiers were all selected by him at the beginning, and most of them were his old subordinates. When people see Zhou Bo, their hearts are also a little empty. They want to salute, but they are afraid of being beaten by Zhou Bo. In the past, when Zhou Bo led them, he hated them the most for not obeying the military law. During the march, they met the emperor without a general. They can't stop and salute, this is what Zhou Bo once taught them.

At this moment, Zhou Bo suddenly narrowed his eyes, walked over a few steps, and kicked one of the personal soldiers.

The man was kicked to the ground, Liu Buhao frowned, stepped forward in a hurry, and said to Zhou Bo, "Why did Zhou Xiang beat Tang Wang's personal soldiers?!"

"Father."

Zhou Yafu stood up aggrieved and looked at Zhou Bo secretly.

Zhou Bo snorted coldly and said, "The march is not about being sharp, it's time to fight."

"Then the Prime Minister of the country should not come and do it!"

Liu Buhao said coldly, Liu Buhao used to be Cao Can's subordinate, so he wasn't afraid of Zhou Bo. Zhou Bo didn't say much, turned around and left, Liu Buhao glared at Zhou Yafu and told him to return to the team, and everyone continued to leave. stand up.And Liu Chang, who was at the forefront, actually noticed this scene, but he ignored it. Yafu was self-willed, and he dared to run out. It would be cheap for him to be beaten!

Handan, the capital of Zhao State, is still prosperous. In the midst of the war, it was the only city in Zhao State that was preserved, and it did not suffer too much damage.

The architectural style of Zhao State is too large, the city walls are also tall and thick, dark and tall city, with a different kind of charm, and Zhao people are just like their city, tall, dark, not many words, but Very proud, Liu Chang followed Ruyi all the way into the palace.

The two brothers just sat down and were about to speak when a woman came in crying and was about to speak, but Ruyi was furious.

"Don't you know that the eldest brother is coming today? Is there anything I can't talk about another day?!"

The woman just cried aggrieved and didn't speak.

Liu Chang shook his head, since when did he become a husband and wife mediator?Did it start when you left Chang'an?Why is there so much shit in the house of these brothers?Liu Chang really didn't like this, and Ruyi 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?"

"Forehead"

Ruyi didn't answer, but her face became more and more ugly.

"Come on, drink, drink!"

Liu Ruyi didn't say anything, just ordered the close attendant to pour the wine. Liu Chang didn't 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 it when I was too young. Of course he is very good, hahaha, after all, is it my son? He is a circle older than 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, but unfortunately I couldn't participate in your wedding. I'll prepare a gift for my Yuzi later!"

"Long, 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 ride a white horse, it will be too dangerous. Change another one. , too conspicuous on the battlefield will become the enemy's target!"

"Good luck, I haven't gotten hot yet, so you hit my horse, don't think I don't know, you just like my horse!"

"Hahaha, you arrogant brat!"

"How can I rob you of your beloved horse? Anyway, if you go to war in the future, you are not allowed to ride a white horse!"

"Can you handle me?"

"I'm your brother, why can't you control it?"

"You said yes, then I said I was your father!"

The two brothers were arguing, laughing, and drinking continuously.

The two started talking about interesting stories when they were young, and then they talked about other brothers, talking about Zhao Guo's situation, and talking, but Liu Ruyi suddenly burst into tears.

Liu Chang looked at the drunk Ruyi in front of him, and asked with a smile, "No matter how afraid of me, you can't be scared to cry!"

Liu Ruyi shook her head and patted her forehead, "eldest brother, you don't know."

"I look forward to seeing you every day, but I don't dare to speak."

"You don't know, I have children."

"If it wasn'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. If I say it, she will die."

"Do you know? Zhao Guo is suffering, Zhao Guo has nothing. I have to go to the place in person. I will leave the house for a while. She will kill 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 without any words. In Liu Ruyi's messy description, Liu Chang gradually understood.It's Mrs. Qi. It seems that Mrs. Qi tossed a pregnant concubine and lost her child.

"She has to quarrel every day. She has to take care of everything, but she doesn't understand anything, she just wants to take care of it. She also wants her younger brother to be a good friend, hahaha, a good person?"

"My few beauties have to serve her every day, and are abused and tortured by her in various ways."

"I don't have any children either. I don't dare to have children anymore. Do you understand?"

"But I dare not say that if I say it, she will die. She is my grandmother! She gave birth to me!"

"The ministers are estranged from me because of her. On the first day Zhou Bo took office, she asked Zhou Bo to kneel and worship her. Until now, Zhou Bo has never said a word to me."

"She wants me to build a new palace for her. Zhao is so poor, where can I get the money? How can I abuse the power of the people!"

"She meddled in the affairs of the middle school indiscriminately, and a group of relatives gathered around her. All of them were mediocre and incompetent, and they asked me to arrange official positions."

"These people are doing all kinds of evil in Handan, humiliating the people, and occupying arable land, but I can't deal with them!!!"

"I reprimanded her, killed her relatives, and she self-harmed to force me to obey."

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Liu Ruyi grabbed her hair and cried out in pain, "Why am I still not dead?!"

Liu Chang was very quiet, and the quietness was a bit scary.

He watched the high-spirited older brother crying in front of him with his hair disheveled at the moment, he couldn't help clenching his fists, his face was extremely cold.At this moment, Liu Chang suddenly regretted, why did he let that damn woman leave with his brother?
She looks like this, obviously thinking of herself as the Empress Lu of Zhao State. She doesn't have the ability, but she imitates the Empress Dowager everywhere, just tossing Ruyi for no reason. The young Liu Ruyi, at this moment, has gray in her hair and looks abnormal. vicissitudes.

He hugged his brother and cried bitterly.

Confessing the pain in his heart.

Probably exhausted to the extreme, he hung on Liu Chang's body like this and fell asleep.

Liu Chang didn't push him away. Instead, he picked up the meat in front of him, devoured it, ate all the meat in front of him, took the meat in front of Ruyi, and ate it again, while eating, He picked up the wine and poured it into his mouth. He ate the wine like a cow. The wine slipped 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, hiccupped, and swaggered towards the harem.

"That Shuzi once murdered me and King Zhao! Now that he has come to Zhao, he must not be allowed to 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 you kill him directly, you will be afraid of Tang Guo's attack. It's better to use poisoned wine to kill him! Besides, he died of illness!"

"What are you afraid of Tang Country? It's just a group of barbarians. I have a famous general like Zhou Bo in Zhao State. What are you afraid of Tang Country?"

"It's better to kill Liu Chang first, then raise the flag and do something big!"

"Using Zhou Bo as a general, he summoned 20 troops from the Zhao Kingdom to attack Chang'an. The throne should belong to the king, but it was Queen Lu's coercive edict to let her son take the throne!"

"Hahaha, yes, in this way, we are the heroes of the founding of the country!"

The valet said with a smile, Madam Qi was actually a little moved. In these years, she wanted to do something more than once. However, Zhou Chang, the prime minister of the state, 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 Tang?"

"Of course. That Zhou Bo is a famous general in the world. The queen mother can give him some gifts, marry her niece to him, and let him serve you!"

Mrs. Qi was still a little hesitant, she said coldly: "Liu Chang, Liu Ying, Lu Zhi, these three people, I will definitely kill them! I will let them suffer from my original pain and bury them alive in Changling. !!"

Just as they were conspiring, they suddenly heard a shout from a distance.

It seemed to be a soldier guarding the door. Everyone was shocked and hurriedly looked over. In the darkness, a figure swaggered into the hall.

"Who?!"

"Liu Chang!"

Hearing the answer, Mrs. Qi sneered, and was about to curse when she saw Liu Chang's appearance.

In Mrs. Qi's impression, Liu Chang seemed to be still the little doll at the time. Suddenly, she saw a strong man like an iron tower, looking at her with eye-catching eyes. Mrs. Qi still couldn't continue the words in her mouth. She hesitated for a moment, then stepped back. After taking a step, "Chang Liu? Why didn't you come to see him?"

"Hahaha, didn't I come to see you right now?"

"Mrs. Qi, are you okay?"

"It's all right."

Probably because the pressure brought by Liu Chang's physique was too strong, and the people who were clamoring to kill Liu Chang just now were all bowing their heads, not daring to look at him at all, and Mrs. Qi was also a little trembling and uncomfortable. I just felt that the person standing in front of him was not a human being, but a beast that could eat people.

Liu Chang said with a smile: "I came from Chang'an, and I didn't bring any gifts. This is my greeting!"

Liu Chang smiled and threw the things in his hand in front of Mrs. Qi.

Everyone looked down and saw that it was a bloody head. Before he died, his eyes widened, and he couldn't rest his eyes.

"Ah~~~~"

Madam Qi screamed.

"Come on someone!!"

"Come here!!!"

Liu Chang wiped his sword with disdain, and said lazily: "Don't call your confidants, they've been killed by me long ago. Don't waste my time, I have to go back to sleep. Are you coming one by one, or are you? Go together?"

"Your Majesty!! Your Majesty, spare your life!!"

The attendants were pale, knelt in front of Liu Chang, kowtowed, and begged bitterly.

Mrs. Qi's face was cold, "You dare not kill me. If you kill me, Ruyi will not spare you."

"Hahaha"

Liu Chang laughed.

"Then try it."

ps: Wow, I’m really tired today. After the class, I did another interview, and then I kept typing. Ah, my scalp is numb, this is probably the most tiring birthday I have ever had in my life. I couldn’t even eat a few bites of cake. , continue coding.
