I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 349 Liu She's Abacus

It has to be said that Yuan Ang really belongs to the current Han family court, the only ceiling in terms of social skills and social attributes.

——After Yuan Ang accused Uncle Tian, ​​Zhi Buyi, and Dou Pengzu in front of the court officials of the Manchu Dynasty, or even in front of half of the senior officials and decision-makers of the Han family, the atmosphere of the dinner party was originally in a state of depression. A rather eerie dullness;
But soon, Yuan Ang showed his fetters of being a "socialite", and in a few words, the atmosphere of the dinner party returned to normal.

After accusing Uncle Tian, ​​Zhi Buyi, and Dou Pengzu, Yuan An first rounded up these three people.

——Speaking of today's court meeting, Uncle Tian, ​​as an internal history, although there are some inappropriate things, at least he has kept the principles that internal history should stick to;
Although it is vague and ambiguous to say that it is straightforward, it does not directly express objection, and it is still barely understandable.

As for Dou Pengzu, Yuan An even laughed and said something like 'You, the Empress Dowager, and Your Majesty are all relatives, so what is there to worry about', and then fooled Dou Pengzu.

In the end, everyone in the meeting was surprised to find that Yuan An, who was 'influenced' by Liu Sheng today, could find out the statement and evidence that 'what you did is fine'.

What is "Zongzheng did this because he considered that he is a clan relative, so he can't be too partial to help His Majesty" ~
What's the matter, "Neishi did this, and he didn't live up to the entrustment of Emperor Daxing Xiaojing"~
Or it can be said that Dou Pengzu is a feng shui, and there is nothing wrong with obeying the rules;
After talking for a while, I summed up what Yuan Ang wanted to express, and it was just one sentence: There is nothing wrong with everyone, and there is no need to worry about Your Majesty having a negative impression or evaluation of someone because of today's events.

With Yuan An's kindness and comfort, Zhi Buyi, who was still a little anxious at first, can be regarded as a little relieved.

——Although he was very clear in his heart that whether this incident would cause any bad consequences was not up to Yuan Ang at all, but Zhibu subconsciously settled down.

As for the reason, it is nothing more than the special treatment that Yuan An enjoyed at the Empress Dowager's place...
"After what happened today, the servant is more and more favored by the empress dowager..."

"hey-hey;"

"I don't know the future, I became the prime minister..."

Sitting quietly in his seat, watching the different expressions of the people at the banquet, Liu She's eyes could not help but drift to the head of the seat, the prime minister Tao Qing who still had a little helplessness in his expression.

Speaking of Tao Qing, he can be regarded as a "wonderful flower" among the second and third generations of Gonghou's nephews, which are rare in the Han family.

In September of the first year of Qin II, Naifu Tao She was ordered by the Qin court to be the commander-in-chief of the army. He followed Zhang Han and led 60 prisoners in Lishan and gave birth to slaves.

During this period, Tao She used tricks to make Tian Zang and Wu Guang turn against each other, and finally used this to kill Wu Guang, thus breaking the siege of Xingyang by the rebel army.

In December of that year, his father in the lower city planned to buy Zhuang Jia (Chen Sheng's coachman) and executed Chen Sheng.

It is no exaggeration to say: Chen Sheng among the "Great Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng" known to the later generations can basically be regarded as Tao She who sent him to Huangquan Road.

If it was Zhang Han, the Shaofu of Qin, who was the number one hero who continued the life of Ying Qin Sheji under the theoretical rule of the second generation Hu Hai and the actual control of the treacherous eunuch Zhao Gao when the building was about to collapse, then Tao She could be killed. It is considered to be the key figure who enabled the Qin court to survive, even quelled the Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising, and almost kept the ancestral temple.

Later, Tao She followed Zhang Han, attacked and killed the leaders of the anti-Qin armed forces Wei Jiu, Tian Dan, and Xiang Liang, and moved across the river to attack Zhao.

During the Battle of Julu, Tao She led his army to garrison in Jiyuan, and Xiang Yu's army garrisoned to the south of the Zhang River.

At this time, the second generation Hu Hai listened to Zhao Gao's slander and killed Tao She's father Tao Lizhong, so Tao She was so heartbroken that he led his troops into Xiang Yu's account and became Yingbu (Tattoo) Taizai.

It was also after Tao She betrayed Qin Ting and devoted himself to Xiang Yu's command that the Qin army began to retreat repeatedly.

It might be an exaggeration to say that Tao She's betrayal was the key to Zhang Han's failure under the giant deer;

But Tao She's rebellion from Qin to Chu was at least the beginning of Zhang Han's defeat by Julu and finally devoted himself to Xiang Yu's command.

In August of the first year of the Han Dynasty, under the order of Overlord Xiang Yu, Tao She launched an attack on Emperor Yi's Chu Huai King while he was traveling, and chased him to Chen County to kill Yi Emperor Chu Huai King.

In the second year of the Han Dynasty, the Chu-Han War broke out in an all-round way. Qi Wang Tianrong betrayed the Chu State. Xiang Yu then went to attack the Qi State.

Liu Bang defeated the Chu army in Pengcheng, and Yingbu refused to support Chu on the pretext of being seriously ill.

In the third year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang attacked Pengcheng, the capital of Chu, and started a large-scale war in Pengcheng. After the defeat, he withdrew from Liang and came to Yu County.

Sui He, who was in charge of conveying the report, came forward and said, "I don't understand what Your Majesty is saying."

Liu Bang said: "Who can send my envoy to Huainan for me, let them mobilize the army, betray Chu, and hold King Xiang in Qi for a few months, and I will be sure to seize the world."

Sui He said: "I have a reason to give up. I am the Taizai of Jiujiang King of the Chu Army. I request to be sent to Huainan."

Therefore, Liu Bang ordered these 20 people to go to Huainan together.

After arriving, Sui He took the opportunity to say to Dazai Taoshe: "Yingbo must think that Chu is strong and Han is weak. What Yingbo wants to hear; what I said is wrong, let 20 of us lie on the chopping block and chop to death with an ax in Huainan Square. It shows that Yingbo betrayed the heart of Han State and is close to Chu State.”

Tao She told Huainan King, who received him.

At that time, the envoy of Chu State was also in Huainan, eagerly urging Yingbu to send troops to support Xiang Yu's troops who had returned from Qi.

Tao She told Sui He that if Chu was broken, King Huainan would have no way out.

So Sui He went straight in, sat on the seat of the envoy of Chu State, and said, "The King of Jiujiang has already surrendered to the King of Han. Why should Chu State let him send troops?" Ying Bu looked surprised.

The envoy of Chu State stood up and was about to leave. Tao She took the opportunity to persuade Yingbu: "The great event has been accomplished. You can kill the envoy of Chu State. You can't let him go back. Let's get closer to Han and fight together."

Yingbo still hesitated, Tao She said: "The matter of the south of Xin'an City will be controlled by the King."

Yingbo said: "Just according to your meaning, send troops to attack Chu State." So he killed the envoy and sent troops to attack Chu State.

In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, Tao She led his army to Gaixia to join the rest of the Han army. The Chu army retreated into the barrier and stood firm. They were heavily surrounded by the Han army. The Chu army was exhausted.

Han Xin ordered the soldiers of the Han army to sing Chu songs at night. The song said: "All people's hearts are for Chu, and the world already belongs to Liu; Han Xin is stationed in Gai, and he wants to cut off the head of the overlord!"

As a result, the soldiers of the Chu army were homesick and tired of fighting, and the morale of the army collapsed, forcing Xiang Yu to die in the Wujiang River.

After understanding all the above, it is not difficult to find out: what is the role of Tao She in this process.

——At the very beginning, Tao She was General Qin, and he could even be said to be the most outstanding assistant and deputy general under Qin Shaofu Zhang Han's command;
Under the giant deer, Tao Shexian and Zhang Han joined Xiang Yu's command one step at a time. He seemed to be "a man who knows the current affairs is a hero", but in fact he was forced to a desperate situation by Qin Ting, especially Zhao Gao, and had to do so.

In the later period of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, Tao She did not wholeheartedly plan for Xiang Yu, but "eating the king's salary and being loyal to the king", and became the most important courtier of Jiujiang King Yingbu (Tattoo).

Afterwards, when Han Wang Liu Bang was defeated by Pengcheng and even showed signs of "falling from a setback", Tao She became a key figure in Jiujiang Wang Yingbu's defection and joining the Han King.

After Gaixia, Tao She took the right Sima from the king of Han with his military merits, and galloped into Han Xin's army, taking his military power.

This shows that the degree of "trustworthiness" of Tao She has reached the level that he can be sent to take over Han Xin's military power.

Afterwards, Tao She received a secret order from the King of Han to secretly persuade Han Xin and Peng Yue, who intended to be enshrined, together with the original King Zang Tu of Yan, Zhang Ao, King of Zhao, and Wu Rui, King of Changsha, to jointly write a letter requesting the King of Han to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

In July, Yan Wang Zang Tu rebelled, and Tao She led the lieutenant guards to follow Liu Bang in the conquest.

In the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, Tao Shede secretly reported to Liu Bang that Han Xin had rebelled against him. Capture Han Xin with the lieutenant guard Yu Chen.

In the winter of the eighth year of the Han Dynasty, Tao She used the lieutenant Wei Liu Bang to attack the remnants of Han Wangxin in Dongyuan.

In October of the ninth year of the Han Dynasty, his son Tao Qing followed Liu Jing (Lou Jing) out of the Great Wall to the north to make a marriage agreement with the Xiongnu.

— yes;
It was the battle of Pingcheng between the Han and Xiongnu, when Taizu Liu Bang was trapped in the siege of Baideng, and in order to stabilize the border defense, he almost married Princess Lu Yuan to the Xiongnu.

In December of that year, Tao She escorted Liu Bang to Luoyang as a lieutenant and uncovered the Guan Gao assassination group.

In July of the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, the Emperor Taishang died, and Chen Xi refused to come because he was sick. Tao She remonstrated with him. Liu Bang quickly sent Tao She to call Chen Xi to Beijing, but Chen Xi still did not come.

In September, Chen Xi really rebelled and made himself the acting king. Tao She personally led the army to attack with the lieutenant Liu Bang.

At that time, Tao She defended Liu Bang with his body, with arrows in his chest.

In December of the 11th year of the Han Dynasty, he was granted the title of Marquis of Kaifeng, and he listed 115 heroes of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty.

The above is Tao Qing's father: the life of Tao She, the first Marquis of Kaifeng.

From Qin Ting Zhushi, an important support under the command of Qin Shaofu Zhang Han, to the Qin Ting traitor who joined Xiang Yu's account under the giant deer;

From the chief counselor of Jiujiang Wang Yingbu to the most trusted "Queen's errand specialist" by Hanwang Liu Bang;
Then to the later commander of the imperial army and Liu Bang's personal guard.

It is no exaggeration to say: from the death of the first emperor on the sand dunes, to the immediate rise of the second emperor Huhai, to the Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising, the death of the second emperor of Qin, the struggle between Chu and Han for hegemony, and the return of the world to Chu;
Even later, the name Tao She never disappeared between the lines of historians during the domestic pacification and foreign conquest after the establishment of Han Zuo.

Especially in the end, Tao She died in the next year because he sacrificed himself as an arrow for Liu Bang during the personal conquest by Taizu Liu Bang to put down the rebellion of Prime Minister Chen Xi!

Combining all these things, it is not difficult to understand Tao She's position in Taizu Liu Bang's heart.

— not old brother, old buddy;
——But it is definitely a 'latecomer', that is, the most trustworthy person among the surrendered generals.

If not, Liu Bang probably would not have sent Tao She to seize the military power of King Han Xin of Qi, and use this to transfer Han Xin to be King of Chu;

Nor would he send Tao She to lead a mission north of the Great Wall after the First World War between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu to discuss marriage matters on behalf of the Han Dynasty and the Huns.

Not to mention would he appoint Tao She as the commander of his imperial guards and head of his personal bodyguards, so that Tao She would have that chance to defend the emperor from arrows.

And such a person—such a hero who had a great sense of presence in the Taizu Dynasty and was trusted by Taizu Liu Bang, gave birth to a son like Tao Qing...
"When I was a doctor of imperial history, I was called by Chao Cuo, who was still an internal historian at that time, to come and go at a whim, and I didn't look like a sangong at all;"

"Even if he became the prime minister, he would always be submissive in court discussions. Unless His Majesty asked, he would never take the initiative to be born..."

"Hey······"

"This kind of prime minister, that is, Emperor Xiaojing is seriously ill, so Tao Qing has been here for so many years."

"It's just that now, it's time to move your position..."

Thinking of this, Liu She couldn't help but look at Tao Qing with an undisguised disdain.

And this disdain was also seen by Chao Cuo, the imperial historian who was seated in the first seat of the teacher, who did not say a word from the beginning to the end, but only secretly observed the reactions of the crowd...

"After Tao Qing, Liu gave up as a chancellor..."

"After Liu She, there is a high probability that it will be Wei Qihou Dou Ying..."

"call······"

"My sub-phase, Your Majesty really didn't save any face..."

After secretly slandering for a while, Chao Cuo quickly smiled.

Of course, Chao Cuo coveted the position of prime minister, and even made it his lifelong pursuit.

But it is precisely because of this that Chao Cuo understands better: what are the prerequisites that must be met first if he wants to become the prime minister of the Han family.

——As far as Chao Cuo is concerned, Chao Cuo couldn't be the prime minister. It seems that he had a lot of personal grievances with Liu Sheng, who was only a "gongzisheng" back then.

But in fact, the most fundamental reason why Chao Cuo couldn't enter the prime minister's candidate list was actually the title.

Because in the Han family, one must not be a prince unless he is a prince...
"Go to the army for some experience?"

"Let's find another way out and fight for the Marquis of Che..."

"—At least, it has to be the title of Marquis of Guannei to have the opportunity to be like Shen Tujia, who was worshiped as prime minister by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen back then..."

···
"Liu She..."

"Peach Marquis Liu She..."

While thinking, Chao Cuo's gaze fell on Liu She's face involuntarily.

Coincidentally, after a short time interval, these two people who had their own thoughts, or ghosts, quietly looked at each other.

There are only three breaths before and after;

But it was also these three breaths that allowed the two to see many things in each other's eyes.

It also made the two see an agreement in each other's eyes.

——After the dinner party, if there are no accidents, these two people should leave Tao Qing's prime minister's mansion in the same carriage...

　I'm really sorry, because of my physical condition, I went to the hospital to hang water, which delayed my time.

　　I was infected with influenza A last month, and I paid in advance the leave note for this month. I didn't have a leave note for this month, and there was an unexpected situation today, so I wrote such a slightly flawed chapter.

　　Please forgive me
