Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 338 Avenging Father!
Shifang Hou Yongji, the person Emperor Gao hated the most.

As a fellow from Peixian County, Yong Te, who came from a wealthy family, looked down on Liu Bang very much, and even many fellow Peixian villagers looked down on him, but he had a very good relationship with Wang Ling.He humiliated Liu Bang many times, was unwilling to work under his command, and stabbed Liu Bang in the back, and finally returned to Liu Bang as a general of Zhao State.

Liu Bang had always wanted to kill him, but if it wasn't for Zhang Liang's strategy, the armor would have been found in Yong Te's house long ago.

However, Yong Te was already dead, and the one who passed away peacefully, now the Marquis of Shifang is his son, Yong Julu.As the first marquis to be sealed in the Bashu area, their family has a high status in Bashu. In history, they once became the most prominent noble family in Bashu. Even at the end of the Han Dynasty, they could still be seen.

When the woman heard Liu Chang's words, she quickly responded, "Are you the son of Emperor Liu Gao?"

"Hahaha, you are not stupid."

Liu Chang's face was full of disdain, "The whole world is my food town, so what if I offend you?"

The woman didn't know what to say for a while, just snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Seeing the woman leave, Fan Fan heaved a sigh of relief and wiped his forehead. It seemed that his leg was saved.

"Your Majesty, this woman is not good, so don't bother!"

“It’s actually pretty nice too”

"Cough cough, Your Majesty, do you want to drink?"

Fan Yan changed the subject bluntly and asked the king to focus his thoughts on the wine in front of him. Liu Chang ate the wine and said slowly: "The merchants from all over the country probably know about the situation and they are eager to lift the ban. Seeing them like this Excited, it seems that this ban still cannot be lifted all at once, it has to be done step by step. It is best to let Liu Jinglai fight to the death."

Liu Chang stroked his chin, and said: "However, this commercial tax may also become an important source of tax revenue in the future. The means of attacking merchants should be slightly reduced. Properly support some merchants and increase the financial source of the treasury. As long as there is enough food, I can gather 300 million strong people to build Anling for my widow!"

Zhao Mei took a breath of cold air.

Among the people present, he wore the most formal clothes. He was obviously a barbarian from South Vietnam, but he was unwilling to let his clothes be disheveled because of the hot weather. Compared with the sages around him who were bare-chested, he could be regarded as a well-informed gentleman. .

Probably because he had the shortest time to follow the king, so he would always feel scared because of some of the king's remarks.He sometimes felt that it was a good thing that the king was born in a relatively poor era, and he had many ideas in his heart but could not realize them. If Qin Ershi's position was given to him, Qin would perish even faster. Qin Er Shi dared not say that he had summoned 300 million people to support him, and he would have killed a million people.

"This time, the inspection of the people's feelings in Bashu is quite rewarding. Next, I will meet the descendants of the widow Qing, let them take the lead, and stop by to see the barbarians who were defeated by them. It's almost the same. You can go back."

"The problem of Bashu, one is the county governor, the other is the merchant, and the last is the road. The road here is quite difficult. The galloping road set up by the Qin State can no longer be used."

Liu Chang didn't just come to play, he did observe a lot.

"When the widowers wanted to repair Chidao, Zhang Shizhi once said that we could let the wealthy families from all over the country take over the burden. There are many merchants and wealthy families in Bashu, why not let them repair it?"

Liu Chang said proudly, "Nowadays, the merchants in Bashu respect the widowers. If the widowers ask them to build roads, I'm afraid they will not refuse."

Lu Lu asked in surprise, "Your Majesty said earlier that the ban would be abolished. Could it be that it was to mobilize merchants to build roads?"

"Ah um.. yes.. yes, that's it."

Liu Chang nodded proudly.

Lu Lu said with emotion: "Your Majesty has a long-term plan, and I said how could Your Majesty issue such a confused decree, it was for this matter!"

Zhou Shengzhi said displeasedly: "Your Majesty always has his own ideas when he does things, how can a fool like you see through it? Since Your Majesty came to power, the Great Han has become stronger and stronger. Your Majesty reviews hundreds of readings every day without ever making a mistake. Mistakes, deployments everywhere, rapid development.”

Liu Chang heard a smile on his face.

"Shengzhi is right. Widows always do things based on their own decisions. For example, widows are going to Shifang Hou's mansion now. Do you know why?"

Fan Yan's face turned pale, and he said faintly, "It's because the king is greedy for his daughter."

Liu Chang was immediately annoyed, "How can you think so superficially of a widow?"

"Lu, why did the widow go?"

Lu Lu was silent for a while, but Zhou Shengzhi said, "Your Majesty is to appease the Bashu nobles, to let them help the newly appointed county governor, and to beat them so that they don't make mistakes, it's better to be responsible for the construction of Bashu! "

"That's right!"

Liu Chang excitedly patted Zhou Shengzhi's shoulder, and Zhou Shengzhi hurriedly avoided in pain.

"The king's kindness is too heavy to bear!"

"Hahaha, let's go! Go to Yong Tooth's mansion!"

The knights in the distance came hurriedly. Liu Chang put on his armor, got on a horse, and ran away in the direction of the city. Most of the people in the Bashu area lived outside the city. There are many countryside and small cities. The cities in the Central Plains are surrounded by farmland and cultivated land. In some cities, it takes several hours for you to go out on a horse. The scale of the cities here is much smaller, and the smoke can be seen everywhere outside the city. .

There are quite a few beasts here, and Chang Liu always carries a strong bow when he goes out, ready to hunt at any time.

You can even hear the roar of the tiger here. Liu Chang heard it a few times, and flew over with his horse, trying to capture the tiger alive. However, Liu Chang's luck was not very good. The king is so keen on hunting, Zhao Mei can't help but sigh, where the king is going to inspect in the future, I am afraid that the beasts there will be scared to migrate ahead of time.

The mansion of the Marquis of Shifang is more luxurious, and Liu Chang has been to many places. In his opinion, the area of ​​this mansion is almost the same as that of Lu Lu's house, and the high rockery inside can be seen from the outside. , you can even hear the roar of the beast, which is amazing.

When Liu Chang first entered the city, they seemed to have already gotten the news that Yong Julu was a tall and handsome middle-aged man, and Liu Chang found out that the better his background, the better-looking this person would be. Most of the tall and handsome people around my father were well-born counselors, and the generals who came up from the bottom were far inferior to them.

However, at this moment, Yongjulu has no prestige at all, no grace.

Mainly because this man came to greet him naked and carrying thorns on his back.

Just like a guilty look.

The sages looked at each other in dismay, what kind of trouble is this one?Why are you still to blame?

Liu Chang jumped off the horse with a smile, and walked in front of this man in a few steps.
"Why do you do this? Could it be that the widow can still murder you because of this little contradiction?"

"Your Majesty! This minister is guilty! Please, Your Majesty, punish him severely!"

"Get up, get up!"

Liu Chang pulled him up in displeasure, "She's disrespectful to the widow, it's not your fault, you don't have to do this, the widow is not like the king of Zhao, the widow is open-minded and generous, and will never punish the innocent. people!"

Yong Julu got up hesitantly, "Your Majesty. He committed such a big crime. The minister can't get away from it."

"What kind of sin is this? Hahaha, to tell you the truth, the widow still likes her! She is good-looking, has a good temperament, is reckless and straightforward, but the widow doesn't like to be secretive. "

Yong Julu widened his eyes and hesitated, "Your Majesty. You. He. This. But"

Liu Chang knew at a glance that the person had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, the widow didn't have ulterior motives for her, just boasted a few words, not covet her body."

"what???"

Yong Julu was obviously a little frightened, and he nodded blankly.

Liu Chang then took his hand and walked into the mansion with a smile. For some reason, Liu Chang felt that Yong Julu was still very nervous. The hand he held was still trembling. Liu Chang couldn't help comforting him: "You don't have to worry. My father doesn't like your father, but that's all in the past. They're all dead, so let them fight by themselves. This has nothing to do with us!"

"My grandfather did something wrong in the first place. He shouldn't be disrespectful to Emperor Gao, nor should he neglect his discipline, so he made such a big mistake."

"Hey! The widow has said that, she didn't make any big mistakes at all. The widow never blamed her, hahaha, the widow has always been soft-hearted towards the beauties, and the widow's wife even joked that the widow should take her as a concubine!"

Until the two sat down, Yong Julu still felt something was wrong.

No matter how foolish the king is, he shouldn't even think about taking Zhang Yue as his concubine, right?
Although he knew that the old Liu family had always had this tradition, but at most it was for his valet, so he wouldn't take concubines directly, right?What's more, is that bad old man Zhang Yue really a beauty? ?How could the king covet his body? ?
Yong Julu felt a little confused for a while.

When he learned that the king was coming, Yong Julu was very frightened. He knew that the king was here to settle accounts with him, not to mention that his grandfather couldn't get along with Emperor Gao at the beginning, that is, Zhang Yue who rebelled, he could have made him After they finished playing, Zhang Yue was the general under Yong Teh.

In the fifth year of Emperor Gao, Zhang Yue joined the Yongto army in Dongyuan, and accompanied the attack on the Yan King Zang Tu and pacified the land. , has always respected him very much, Yong Tooth gave him a lot of pointers, he was treated as an elder, and the relationship between the two families was also very close.

As a result, Zhang Yue rebelled and scolded Liu Chang, and was imprisoned in Tingwei's prison.

When he found out about this, Yong Julu only felt that the world was spinning. He secretly disposed of all the gifts that Zhang Yue sent, but he could not deal with the correspondence between Zhang Yue.

The king came to find himself this time, and Yong Julu could only plead guilty, hoping that he would not be implicated by Zhang Yue.

And Liu Chang also felt a little strange, didn't the widow just praise your sister, why are you so frightened?

Yong Julu brought out the best things to entertain Liu Chang, and then ordered the dancers to come to perform a dance for Liu Chang, and then called the musicians. Soon, Liu Chang began to hook up with him, and the two ate together. Meat, drinking wine, the best-looking dancers in Bashu started their own performances, but unfortunately, they would not be able to break the music of King Tang, which made Liu Chang less fun, but this Bashu dance was also unique.

They wear very little, and they wear feathers of various colors. As they dance, the feathers sway constantly. Their dance moves are more daring. They mainly show a soft character. The sages have been stunned. The dancer moved directly to Liu Chang's side and wanted to sit directly in his arms, but Liu Chang just smiled and shook his head, not letting them get close.

Chang Liu would watch the dancers dance, but for some reason, he would never get close to them. He would not even allow those who were at the banquet to get close to the dancing girls, which would make Chang Liu very angry.

Yong Julu looked at Liu Chang from time to time, and when he saw that he had rejected the dancer, he couldn't help but lowered his head and pondered, and then called someone and gave a few words.

Soon, a group of young and strong soldiers appeared in the mansion, and began to replace the original dancers to perform dances for Liu Chang.

Their dance was tough, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, wide open and closed, fierce momentum, Zhou Shengzhi narrowed his eyes, moved slightly towards Yongjulu's side, put his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and ate quietly. liquor.

Watching the soldiers in front of them dancing passionately, Liu Changxuan was overjoyed and applauded, which is much more exciting than watching the dancers dance!

Probably because he was itching to see it, Liu Chang simply picked up the sword and shield, jumped directly into the soldiers, and began to jump up like them. The momentum was even more ferocious. After retreating again and again, Fan Yan watched this scene calmly, and said to Lu Lu who was beside him: "It's really a pity that the king didn't go to the Hongmen Banquet that year."

"If it was the king who went there, I'm afraid he would have jumped up with Xiang Zhuang at that time. Xiang Zhuang probably doesn't know what to do."

They chatted happily, Liu Chang danced happily, and even Yong Julu nodded with satisfaction.

After Liu Chang sat down, he put his arms around Yong Julu's neck and said seriously: "The widow came to Bashu this time. In fact, someone impeached them, saying that the nobles of Bashu have committed all kinds of evil, and said that you nobles are spending money to repair yourselves. Mausoleum, drinking alcohol when worshiping parents, arrogant, beating prisoners, disrespecting the elderly, not caring for the young, extorting property, molesting people's daughters. It's really hateful! It should be executed!!"

Yong Julu said in horror: "Your Majesty, this minister has been wronged, we have never done such evil before!"

"Well, it's best if you haven't done the widows and are going to send more embroidered clothes here. Once they find out that you have done such a thing, they will kill them on the spot! Do you understand?!"

"I understand! I understand!"

"Also, the officials here are also hateful for taking bribes. The widow is going to let the son of Chenhou buy it, and the son of Guanhou will come to Bashu to serve as the county governor. At that time, you must obey their orders, if you are disrespectful to them , the widow will not pay attention, just beware of their grandfather."

Liu Chang pouted and said, "Marquis Guan has a bad temper. The Northern Army is all his old troops. Marquis Chen is better. When the time comes, you should listen to Guan A more. As for what Chen buys, you can decide for yourself. Anyway, his grandfather has no military power."

Yong Julu showed a big smile, "Please don't worry, Your Majesty! If anyone dares to be disrespectful to them, the minister will kill him first!"

"That's right."

Liu Chang had a drink with him again, and then said: "Also, the widow came to Bashu this time and found that the road was very difficult to walk. The widow was going to use all the people of Bashu to let them all come out to build the road, what do you think? ?"

When Yong Julu heard this, he was terrified, and he quickly pleaded: "Your Majesty! No way! Bashu is the grain depot of the Great Han. If the people don't engage in farming and go to build roads, how many people will be starved and killed!"

Liu Chang can also see that this second-generation Chehou doesn't have much ability, but well, he is okay, not too bad, he pondered for a moment, and asked: "Since mobilizing the people will affect Nongsang, then you should take the lead. , leading merchants from all over the country to repair the road, what do you think? The merchants of Bashu have many ministers and a lot of financial resources, and it must not be difficult to hire some people when the non-farm is busy."

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

The sages watched Liu Chang accomplish one important thing after another, and at the moment they became serious and put away the rambling, Zhou Shengzhi said in cooperation: "Your Majesty, how can you entrust such an important matter to him? What do you do? You said that you will come to Bashu some time ago, but I am afraid that the road will still be so difficult to walk at that time, and it will ruin the king's Yaxing!"

Yong Julu hurriedly said: "I will do my best, the next time Your Majesty comes again, it will definitely be different from now."

Just when several people were discussing important matters, there was a sudden noise outside the door. Liu Chang just raised his head and saw a woman breaking into the house.

The person who came was the woman he had met earlier.

She frowned and said displeasedly, "I don't know you, so I'm a little disrespectful to you. Are you going to bully my brother? Why is this a man?!"

"what??"

Yong Julu's eyes widened, he hurriedly stood up, "E! Don't be rude to the king!"

Yong E said seriously: "Brother, I have never been rude to him, but he was rude to me. I was walking on the road and didn't provoke him, so he started to provoke him."

Liu Chang looked at Yong Julu in surprise, "No, don't you know about this? You don't know why you have to apologize?"

Yong Julu looked blankly at his sister and then at Liu Chang, "Your Majesty, I'm asking for the crime because of Zhang Yue's affairs. Didn't you ask for the crime because of Zhang Yue's affairs?"

"Wait for the widow to slow down."

The atmosphere suddenly became stiff, Liu Chang took a deep breath, and then asked, "Do you think the widow is here because of Zhang Yue? Right?"

"Ah."

"What does that Zhang Yue have to do with you?"

"He's my grandfather's old general."

"Then why do you say that your grandfather is not disciplined?"

"He treats my grandfather as a master"

"Oh, the widow understands."

Liu Chang nodded, no wonder this fellow had such an expression just now, Yong Julu started to be frightened again and did not dare to speak, but Yong E in the distance was not afraid, she said calmly: "My family has never participated in the rebellion, if Speaking of promotion, my grandfather just led him to fight, and his title was conferred by Emperor Gao himself!"

Liu Chang was still doubting his life at the moment, but Zhou Shengzhi lowered his head so that he couldn't see his face, and his shoulders kept shaking.

Lu Lu gritted his teeth, his face extremely complicated.

Liu Chang glanced at them, "If you want to laugh, just laugh."

"Hahaha~~~~"

There was laughter from everyone in Yong Mansion, and it stopped for a long time.
