I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 259 The Great Han’s General

"."

At this time, Ban Xiong didn't say much, but Liu Long's confidant Yu Xu couldn't help but rolled his eyes at the side.

He knew that his Majesty would definitely say this.

When you are serious, you are really serious, but when you are out of touch, you are really not like the Son of Man!
However, Yu Xu would not discredit his Majesty at this time, and looked directly at Jingzhao Yin Banxiong beside him with a smile.

Then just ask him to continue talking.

And this Banxiong didn't expect that His Majesty would have this hobby. He just said it to explain that he had no selfish intention of seeking any benefits for his family's children.

Why is it that what the person in front of me means now? Isn’t this the case?
But now that the words have been spoken, I can't be vague at this time, and I can only continue with a bit of a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. Your Majesty should know that in the 16th year of Yongping, Dou Gu, the captain of Fengche, and others sent troops to attack the Northern Huns, and my father, Ban Chao, abandoned his writing and joined the army at that time.

So he followed Captain Fengche in the Northern Expedition, served as a fake Sima in the army, and joined the army from then on.

Dou Gu, the captain of Fengche, admired my father's talents, so he sent his father and Guo Xun, another staff member of Captain Fengche, on an envoy to the Western Regions. From then on, my father began to serve the imperial court in the Western Regions.

Starting from the 16th year of Yongping, my father went on several missions to the Western Regions, and also attacked some small countries in the Western Regions that did not accept the king's rule. At the same time, he attracted many countries to serve me.

As a result, some small countries in the Western Regions respected me as a great man, and also respected my father very much.

And Wei Chen's younger brother was the son of a daughter of the Shule royal family when my father was in the Western Regions.

At that time, my father was in this place in the Western Regions and could not go home all year round, so it was inevitable that he would feel homesick. However, the daughter of the Shule royal family was beautiful and considerate.

After falling in love with my father, I often stay by my father's side.

In order to stabilize the hearts of the Shule royal family, my father never rejected this daughter of the Shule royal family and made her a common wife of my class!
And gave birth to a son for my father.

But after all, she is the daughter of a foreign country, and the family does not fully approve of my father's behavior.

I think this is illegal!

Therefore, he refused to admit the other party's identity, and he also criticized his father. Even when his father returned, the family did not allow the younger brother to return home.

For this reason, my father even went to the court specifically, hoping that the court would come forward."

Ban Xiong was a little embarrassed when he said this. After all, there is a saying that family scandals should not be publicized.

As a result, the internal affairs of the family were directly brought to the outside world, and even his own father was brought to the court.

Although this matter is over, it is still a bit embarrassing!

At this time, Liu Long also remembered that this was really the case. The palace had the habit of collecting all memorials.

As Ban Zhao was a famous general of the Han Dynasty and an important minister who had been in charge of the Western Regions for many years, his memorial was naturally qualified to be included in a separate section.

Emperors of the past dynasties and the heirs of the royal family would also use these memorials as one of the materials to assist their studies when they studied government affairs. This was the case for Liu Long.

He still remembered that this should be the last memorial given to him by Ban Zhao. In the 12th year of Yongyuan, Ban Chao asked to return.

In addition to saying that his old and weak body could no longer support the affairs of the Western Region, he also devoted a lot of space to talking about his son.Although the big man did not support the fact that the general outside would directly find a woman to have a son, he was not opposed to it either.

After all, the original eldest son and the family were all considered hostages of the imperial court. What would happen if they found another one outside and accidentally gave birth to one.

The imperial court wouldn't really let all the generals outside of it go to Jue Hou, would it?
So regarding this matter, the late Emperor Liu Zhao didn't say much and just got it right.

I really didn't expect that there was such a thing involved. Looking at the wry smile on Ban Xiong's face now, Liu Long finally knew why the famous general mentioned this in the book.

"I remember that we asked the young boy to enter Yumen Pass with the Anxi tribute envoy. The late emperor and his mother seemed to have seen the child before.

It's a pity that he was not able to see his father for the last time.

I really didn’t expect that the child back then would be so old now. "

What Liu Long said was so good that Yu Xu couldn't help but roll her eyes.

In the family where Ban Zhao died of illness at the age of 71, when the child came back, the late Emperor was still alive and the Queen Mother was still the Queen.

I'm afraid this person hasn't even been born yet. The old-fashioned way to say this also left him speechless.

However, Ban Xiong on the side did not think much and bowed directly towards Liu Long.

"What your Majesty said is that the younger brother did go to the capital, and then the late emperor felt that my father had made a lot of contributions, so he gave the younger brother a birthplace.

It can be regarded as helping the younger brother to gain a foothold in my big man.

However, Your Majesty also knows that the family did not like the incident between my father and my younger brother, but now that he has come to know his family background, he is even liked by the late emperor.

This made many people in the family resent him, because Wei Chen was young at the time and he was the eldest son in the family.

That’s why I can’t stand it anymore, so I keep him by my side all the time.”

"The eldest brother is like father. He is your father's son. As the eldest brother, you should be like this. There is no need to explain anything."

Liu Long directly interrupted the other party's words. He understood the other party's worries, but he also knew what the other party meant, so he spoke directly so that he did not need to say anything more.

This kind of thing may be talked about by ordinary people, but it is very normal among wealthy families and even the royal family.

Don't talk about cruel people. As the eldest son or heir of a wealthy family, the first thing he has to learn is to have a good attitude, be able to employ people, and be able to win people's hearts.

Otherwise, no matter what you say, it will be nonsense!

After hearing Liu Long's words, the class hero immediately saluted him again before continuing to speak.

"For the sake of this little brother, I brought him into the army to obey orders. In the first year of Yongchu, the Western Region rebelled again. That battle also severely damaged my Han Dynasty's vitality.

Even General Liang Jin, the current general of Liao, was unable to turn the tide.

The last general was one of the people who followed the army and sent troops from Dunhuang to rescue him.

As for Ban Yong, he naturally followed the army. He made many achievements in this battle, and from him, I even saw the shadow of his father! "
