Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 754

"Father! What you did was really wrong!"

"The Marquis of Huaiyin has rebelled several times, and His Majesty still trusts him incomparably. Let him command the army without the slightest fear. Do you think your talent has surpassed the Marquis of Huaiyin? Or is your misdeeds comparable to the Marquis of Huaiyin? Why is your majesty afraid of you? If your majesty has thoughts of fear of you, can you still rush here from Hexi country? There is no need for temples at all, Xiahou Zao of Xiting country, Chai Wu of Beiting country , Lu Qing from Longxi, the three join forces to attack, how long can you resist?"

"Even if they can't deal with you, if I personally lead the northern army to go out, can you persist for a hundred days?!"

Zhou Yafu frowned, his tone extremely serious.

Zhou Jian was sitting on the sidelines, listening with fear.

Zhou Bo was scolded so hard by his own son, his face became even uglier. As soon as Zhou Bo returned to his home, the two sons came to the door. I thought it was because the father and son hadn't seen each other for many years, it would be a very touching scene , As a result, Zhou Yafu reprimanded Zhou Bo when he came, and was extremely dissatisfied with his behavior.

"Father, you need to change your temper! No matter how great your military achievements are, you shouldn't humiliate others. You have broken through six checkpoints in a row. If you just rushed to Chang'an like this, you will not be hindered all the way. When you enter the city, you will be taken down by the doctor censor!! The doctor censor is very dissatisfied with you, and has summoned the ministers many times to talk about what you have done."

"It's not your turn to teach me!"

Zhou Bo said coldly, interrupting Zhou Yafu's long speech.

"I have made enough military achievements to save my life! When your military achievements surpass mine, come and preach to me!"

Neither father nor son spoke again, and the atmosphere became a little stiff.

Zhou Jian had no choice but to act as a peacemaker, "Father, the second brother also cares about you, not to preach, we are all worried about you, if you don't want to return to Chang'an, we are all willing to run for you, so that His Majesty will regard you again Will"

Zhou Yafu said displeasedly, "What are you talking about?"

He looked at Zhou Bo, "Father, you can't get rid of the poison."

"You are already very old, and the distance to go to the poison is far away. Your body may not be able to bear it. Besides, the climate there is not very good. The heat is unbearable. Father, it is best to stay in Chang'an. I thought Well, this poison, I still have to go!"

Hearing Zhou Yafu's previous words, Zhou Bo was relatively calm, but at the end, he was furious.

The reason why you are trying to persuade me to go to the poison is to be able to do it by myself, right? ?
Naigong has all the credit for grabbing it? ?
Zhou Jian also felt that something was wrong, and looked at the second brother suspiciously. He began to doubt the real purpose of the second brother coming here to persuade Father.

"Don't think that after a few years in the Northern Army, you can become a general. Not everyone can go to Shendu. To integrate the local area and resist foreign enemies, it is not as simple as just being able to fight. What qualifications do you have to go to Shendu?"

"Whether you are qualified or not is up to His Majesty."

The father and son didn't get along very well, and they broke up in the end. Zhou Bo went back to the inner room to rest, but Zhou Jian held his second brother helplessly, "Brother, why are you doing this? With this temper, if you give in a few steps and be patient, it will be fine, don't always fight against him."

Zhou Yafu said seriously: "Father should say these words. If he can't learn to give in and endure, our family will be destroyed because of him."

Zhou Yafu strode away from home.

Zhou Jian's heart is full of bitterness. My father and second brother have surprisingly similar personalities. They both have a stubborn temper, and both are somewhat rebellious and wanton. It may be because they are too similar that they don't get along very well every time. But as the youngest in the family, Zhou Jian has no choice but to watch them quarrel. If the eldest brother is still here, maybe the situation will be different?

After returning home, Zhou Yafu rested for a while, and then rushed directly to Houde Hall.

When Zhou Yafu arrived at the gate of the Hall of Houde, he heard the enduring screams inside.

"King Xia is back?"

Zhou Yafu asked very calmly.

Lu Lu nodded, "He started being beaten when he came back, and he has been beaten until now. This King Xia has become more and more resistant to beating, is it because of your father's business?"

Zhou Yafu shook his head, "No, it's for my own business."

"To sue for you?"

"It's okay, wait a little longer, do you have any property in the body?"

Lu Lu was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "A new bank has been opened to issue the money of the big man, but it's not very effective. They can't understand what the bank does, and the reputation of the big man is not as good as that of the local people. As for the factory, I don’t plan to open it in Shendu, although there are a lot of manpower in Shendu, but doing so will hit local businesses and lower the price of goods, do you understand what I mean?”

"Although I'm not in business, I understand the truth."

"Why are you suddenly so curious about body poison?"

"I want to guard the body poison."

"Impossible, you are still needed here in the temple, and you will not be allowed to go."

While the two were talking, an attendant helped the limping King Xia out of Houde Hall. King Xia's eyes were blank, and he kept muttering: "Headless arrow. Headless arrow!"

Lu Lu and Zhou Yafu walked into the Hall of Houde immediately, and saw Liu Chang sitting on the upper seat, swearing something loudly. Seeing Zhou Yafu who came in, he waved and motioned him to sit down, and the two sat down separately. left and right of him.

"This Zhuzi, I will endure him for another four years, and then I will send him to the country. It is best not to see him again!"

"Don't say that, Your Majesty. During these days, King Xia has made great progress. He is still young, and sooner or later he will grow to the point where His Majesty can rest assured. Don't be too anxious, Your Majesty. We are at his age. , It’s not as simple as pretending to shoot and kill the minister. We all directly kidnapped the minister and went to the Tang Dynasty. Compared with us, he has restrained himself a lot. Do you still remember that we planned to kidnap Liu Hou? If it wasn’t for Wuyang Marquis Wu is there, I'm afraid we will succeed!"

Speaking of the past, the three of them couldn't hide their joy on their faces.

The older I get, the more I like to miss the past.

What I did when I was young and ignorant, when I think about it now, I just smile lightly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this scorpion, Yafu, this matter about your father."

"Your Majesty, I didn't come here because of Father's matter. I know that Your Majesty asked Shen Tujia to go to the body to take care of the matter of body poison. Shentu Jia can guard it, but it may not be able to really hurt Anxi. I invite you to go to the body." Poison, break the peace for His Majesty"

"It's not yet time for a full-scale battle with the Parthians. The most important thing now is the stability of the poison."

"The big man is developing at full speed now. It is of no benefit to attack Anxi now. It will only destroy the current development. Only the big man is strong enough, and even the body poison has been completely included in the rule of the big man. My order is carried out in the body poison. When there are no mistakes, it is the time for us to attack Anxi. I will not let you go to poison, not yet, neither you nor your father can go."

"I asked Shentujia to go to Shendu, not to let him attack Anxi, but just to let him ensure the stability of Shendu. Do you know how many good things Shendu has provided to the big man these days? Others He said that the food they donated in a year alone exceeded the food sent to Chang'an by the six counties. How far can the big man, the means of transportation, develop? Enlightenment can make it possible to have one in every village, and set up a special medical center for him in each village, and the temple can even reduce miscellaneous taxes to an unprecedented level. Among other things, Now that we are going to start a big project in the south, where will the food come from?"

"The Taiwei is worried about Anxi, because he is worried that the Anxi people will destroy the current stable development. I can let you go to Xiting or Hexi area to station, and be prepared to guard against Anxi, but there is no need to talk about taking the initiative to attack!"

Zhou Yafu pursed his lips, and then said: "Poison cannot be counted on. If you want to guard against strong enemies, you have to go to the Three Kingdoms in the Northwest. Your Majesty, please appoint me to go to the Northwest, command the Three Kingdoms, and prepare for the big events in the future."

"Prepare?"

Zhou Yafu talked about his own ideas. He wanted to set up a complete logistics route in the three countries in the northwest, that is, to set up a special army route, and lead the troops of the three countries to conduct overall drills, similar to military exercises, etc., in order to prepare for Anxi’s invasion in the future. To put it simply, it is necessary to integrate the armies of the three countries, conduct joint military exercises, and be prepared to lead troops into Shendu at any time.

Liu Chang still agrees with Zhou Yafu's idea.

However, it is still necessary to ask the Taiwei's opinion first.

At this moment, Zhou Bo was not idle either. When Zhou Yafu appeared in Houde Hall, he appeared in Shou Hall.

Zhou Bo did not come here voluntarily, but was invited to the Longevity Hall of Changle Palace by his attendants.

The Empress Dowager looked at the white-haired tiger general who was no longer young, and asked, "I heard that you don't want to stay in Chang'an? Why, are you staying in Chang'an because you are afraid that someone will murder you?"

Zhou Bo looked serious, and replied: "Empress Dowager, I have fought with Emperor Gao when I was young, and I can't remember how many years. I have long been used to the school grounds, and I really don't want to die of old age in bed. I am good at fighting, and I am good at fighting." Fighting, I am willing to do the king's business, and fight to the death!"

The queen mother laughed, "Where is there any enemy in this world that can kill you in battle?"

"I can understand your thoughts, but if there is no war in the world, what should you do? Are you going to die of old age in the school grounds?"

"Don't be so stubborn!"

The queen mother said sternly, but then her tone softened, "The boss will not treat you veterans badly, if you really don't want to teach, you can tell me, don't do such willful things again, we are all old I don't know how long you can live, don't ruin your fame in this life!"

"I see."

"Before Emperor Gao passed away, he told me that you are the only general who can be relied on in the temple."

"Guan Ying has no opinion, Han Xin is too opinionated, Xia Houying is rigid and doesn't know how to adapt. Emperor Gao trusts you the most."

Zhou Bo lowered his head, remembering something, with an inexplicable melancholy expression on his face.

"Until now, I have also thought the same way. In the temple, anyone can cause chaos, but you can't. You are closest to Emperor Gao, and you don't care about your own fame. You can give up your wealth and life to be king. Bo Ah, Chang has inherited Emperor Gao's behest and governed the country for him. Since he came to the throne, the world has been governed, the people are rich, and there is no trace of the prestige of Emperor Gao. Zhou's level, this is what Emperor Gao dreamed of."

"You are willing to risk your life for Emperor Gao, why don't you make a little concession for his successor?"

Zhou Bo raised his head, his eyes gradually became firm.

"only."

What Liu Chang didn't expect was that Zhou Bo gave in quickly.

This change made Liu Chang even a little surprised.

Not long after Zhou Yafu left, Zhou Bo approached the door again and made it clear that he was willing to stay in Chang'an to teach and educate people for His Majesty.

Liu Dachang was overjoyed, he was still worrying about how to appease Zhou Bo, but now he was smiling from ear to ear.

How could Zhou Bo be so obedient? ?

Liu Chang is really at a loss for people like Zhou Bo. It seems inappropriate for you to beat them up. These people are quite old, and they are not those rotten scholars who deliberately look for trouble and only talk about it all day long. They are all generals who have made great contributions to the big man. Liu Chang can't do this kind of humiliation. Liu Chang has beaten many people in these years, but he has never beaten these old generals. After all, the elder is nothing tyrant.

But if they are persuaded with words, these people are so stubborn that they are dying, and they are unwilling to retire and enjoy life at home. Everyone has a strong desire for war, and they want to draw their knives to kill people in their dreams.

Liu Chang can probably understand that they have been used to the barracks all their lives, but they are not used to staying in the mansion. The world outside the barracks is too strange to them.

Zhou Bo is the best among them, this man fully deserves the reputation of being the number one tiger general in the Han Dynasty, this is a ruthless general with a character like a tiger, and his fighting methods are like a tiger.

Liu Chang was very happy, immediately took his hand, and excitedly talked about the arrangement for him.

Liu Chang very much hoped that Zhou Bo could teach courses on siege warfare and annihilation warfare.

Zhou Bo also agreed.

But when Liu Chang asked Zhou Bo why he suddenly agreed to stay in Chang'an, Zhou Bo talked about the fact that he had just gone to Shoudian.

Liu Chang grinned, "Hahaha, it seems that my mother is more prestigious. I have said so many times, but you are full of dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction. Unexpectedly, my mother talked to you Once you said it, you agreed to her. Sometimes, I really want to learn these things from my mother. My eloquence is very bad. I can’t always convince others. If others don’t listen, I want to hands on"

Zhou Bo said earnestly: "The Empress Dowager is a virtuous person, and I already know my fault. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty's high expectations, and I will definitely teach those students well for Your Majesty."

"Hahaha, this is the best, my lord, you can stay in Chang'an to teach without worrying about other things!"

After seeing Zhou Bo off, Liu Chang couldn't wait to find his mother.

Grandma is really my strongest support.

It is not a problem at all to find grandma when everything is unresolved.

"Mother!!!"

Liu Chang was full of complacency, and sat beside Empress Lu with a smile, with a trace of admiration in his eyes, "Aunt, Zhou Bo is such a difficult person, you can convince him with just a few words. I am really Aunt, you Also teach me how to deal with these old men. These people are very difficult to deal with and disobedient. I am still thinking about how to appease them. What a surprise, mother, that is, Lu Lu is not here, otherwise it must be I want to reward you with a hundred gold!!"

Empress Lu sneered, "There are still things that His Majesty can't handle? I am an old woman, how can I have the right to teach His Majesty the Emperor? I dare not accept the reward from His Majesty the Emperor."

"Mum, what did you say to Zhou Bo?"

"He looks completely different. He doesn't have any of his usual unruliness at all? Did he drink some wine in front of him and threaten him severely?"

"Is Zhou Bo a person who is afraid of threats?"

Empress Lu shook her head slightly, and said calmly, "I just told him that you inherited your father's behest, and let him treat you like your father."

Empress Lu told Liu Chang what she had said.

But the joy on Liu Chang's face gradually disappeared.

He drooped his face and his face was very smelly.

"It turned out to be because of my father. Why do you say that my father is so capable of causing trouble? People have been buried for so many years, and so many people are willing to die for him. That's the case with Shen Tujia and Zhou Bo. To me He doesn't care about orders, but he pays so much attention to that old fool. How can he be capable?"

Empress Lu slowly raised her head, not knowing what she was thinking about.

"No ability. Just a half-hero who can speak well."

"Then why are the words of this half-hero more effective than mine?"

"Because you are not even half a hero."

"Then mother, who do you think can be regarded as a whole hero, I have to go over and ask for advice!"

"I."

Liu Chang was silent for a long time, and then cursed in a low voice: "I only thought that I was bragging because I passed it on to my father. I just found out today that I inherited it from you. I just said why I want to brag every day. Myself, if I don’t brag for a day, I feel bad all day. I co-authored it because my parents are like this. You two are heroes, so let’s brag. It’s like a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven!"

"What did you say?"

"I said Grandmother is a real hero!!!"

Empress Lu ignored the guy's muttering, and said calmly: "You want to deal with these old generals, it's actually very simple, as long as you move out your father, everything will be easy, but your master's side is an exception."
