Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Chapter 133 Liu Bang spends money to ask questions!

"Can you elaborate?"

Liu Bang looked at Xiao Ran and asked again.

Xiao Ran poured himself a glass of water, drank it, and asked with a smile, "Which part do you want to listen to? There are too many things happening behind you. If you finish it in one breath, the price will be high."

Liu Bang was speechless. He was a big man who had just experienced a war and was not very rich in money. It was difficult to collect ten thousand taels of gold.

Of course, we can't give out too much gold at the moment.

Liu Bang hesitated for a moment, and then asked one thing, "What would I have done without your help in the siege of Baideng?"

"Peace negotiation."

Xiao Ran was a little surprised that Liu Bang would ask about this.

Liu Bang sighed, "Being trapped for several days and nights, our army's morale was shaken."

Liu Bang did not continue with his subsequent thoughts. He handed over the remaining gold to Xiao Ran.

"I'm still busy with government affairs. Let's talk next time."

"Wait a minute, this order has ended, please click to confirm."

After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he saw Liu Bang's back looking a little hurried.

What does this mean?
Xiao Ran, who laughed angrily, shook his head, turned around and disappeared into the palace.

The palace attendants who followed him struggled to keep up with Liu Bang. They waited until he stopped and took a breath before daring to speak out.

"Your Majesty, what happened? Do you need someone to come?"

Liu Bang waved his hand, "It's okay. Next time you see Mr. Xiao, remember to come find me in time."

Liu Bang doesn't plan to end the order for the time being. Liu Bang wants to know more about the future so that the big man can continue for more time.

As for why, of course there is no money now!
"Let all the ministers come to see me." Liu Bang ordered in a deep voice.

……

As soon as Xiao Ran returned to the company, he met Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

"I remembered that Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty moved the capital after his defeat at the siege of Baideng. Now that he has won, he didn't come to you to ask questions?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly paid attention to the affairs of Emperor Taizu Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty.

Xiao Ran shook his head, "I didn't ask, and I didn't end the order."

"Why doesn't Taizu Han follow the rules? He's already left Baishan Mountain alive, why hasn't he finished?" Zhu Yuanzhang glared. This was the first time he had seen such a shameless customer.

Xiao Ran had already expected this, "There's nothing I can do, just wait until he asks questions next time and I'll go there and collect more money by the way."

Liu Bang has been criticized for his bad character in history books. It is normal that this list did not end so quickly.

Of course, Xiao Ran was not really restrained by Liu Bang.

"Let me tell you, this won't work. Next time you and I go there, we have to talk about how a man who is an emperor can be so shameless!" Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy with his eyebrows. As the president of the company, he regarded Xiao Ran as his own. People will never allow others to plot against you.

"Uncle, I know what's going on, but if we want to go together at that time." Xiao Ran knew that he was concerned about her and explained with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared angrily, "You kid!"

Knowing that Xiao Ran knew what was going on, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to say anything anymore and went back to find Queen Ma directly.

……

Changle Palace.

All the memorials fell to the ground.

"The Huns are so brave!"

Liu Bang was filled with anger but could not vent it. He looked at the kneeling officials and ministers below.

"Do you think this battle should be fought?"

Xia Houying, who was at the front, immediately said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, our big man has just defeated the Xiongnu, and the morale of the generals has greatly increased. This battle should be fought!"

"Your Majesty, our Han army suffered heavy losses in the battle at Baishan Mountain. We have forced the Xiongnu back to their original territory. I'm afraid there is little chance of victory in another battle." The speaker was a civil servant.

Liu Bang's face darkened slightly when he saw him speaking, "Lou Jing, are you feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am already fine." Lou Jing replied with some fear.

The atmosphere in the hall was heavy, and no one knew what Liu Bang was thinking.

"Okay, that's it for today, we'll discuss it tomorrow." Liu Bang sat down on the dragon chair, slowly closed his eyes, and suspended the controversy.

The palace people packed up the memorials and walked out of the palace quietly.

Suddenly, two figures appeared in the palace.

"Han Taizu, what happened?" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, and he could tell at a glance that Liu Bang was troubled by something.

Liu Bang's eyes showed joy, "You are here just in time. This gold is enough to ask a question."

One hundred taels of gold.

"Okay, what do you want to ask?" Xiao Ran accepted the gold directly.

Anger appeared on Liu Bang's face, "I have driven the Huns out of the Han Dynasty, but they are so presumptuous that they dare to ask the princess for a marriage!"

"How courageous! A group of Xiongnu are thicker than the city walls!" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table and stood up. The last thing he heard about in his life was marriage.

In the Ming Dynasty, ministers who proposed marriage would have their heads chopped off by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Han Taizu, you haven't already agreed, right?"

Xiao Ran almost choked on the tea and hurriedly grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang.

If it weren't for borrowing troops to solve the siege of Baideng, the Han Dynasty would have actually made peace with each other and moved the capital as a result.

"Uncle, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, listen to what he wants to ask first."

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, remembering the history books he had read before, and said no more.

"The Han Dynasty cannot fight with the Xiongnu anymore. Mr. Xiao, how much gold will it cost to buy some weapons?" Liu Bang did not ask for borrowing troops this time.

No matter how shameless Liu Bang was, he would be embarrassed to ask for more troops.

"After the siege of Baideng, Maodun Shanyu died, and the Han army could drive out the Xiongnu. How could the Han army suffer heavy losses?"

Xiao Ran didn't rush to answer the question, but asked back.

"This matter is ridiculous. King Xin of Han died and his subordinates are still on the border. They and the Xiongnu are guarding the city. Those cities are easy to defend and difficult to attack." After Liu Bang relieved the siege of Baideng, he immediately returned to the capital. Leave the battlefield to Xia Houying and others.

In the end, even if the Huns were driven out, the number of casualties would still be staggering.

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to speak but stopped.

Xiao Ran was a little surprised by this result, "The weapons are not cheap, but if you are willing to join the company, we can sell them to you at a discount."

"Mr. Xiao, what are the benefits of joining the company?"

Liu Bang's eyes lit up. What he cared about most was profit.

"Company employees can take orders at will, get paid after completion, and ask questions for free." Xiao Ran simply said two benefits, which were just enough to make Liu Bang's heart beat.

Liu Bang did not hesitate and immediately agreed to join the company as an employee.

As for the position, Xiao Ran hasn't told Liu Bang in detail yet.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been holding back all the way, couldn't help but ask when he left the Han Dynasty, "How could the army under Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty be so unreliable?"

They are also competing for the world, so the siege of Baishan Mountain can be said to be too aggressive.

After borrowing troops to break through, the defeated party can still be forced to make peace.

"Uncle, haven't you ever gotten to know a big man?" Xiao Ran said helplessly.

Before the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang knew history to some extent.

"The historical records in our hands are not that detailed. Please explain in detail how the Han army became like this..."

Halfway through the words, Zhu Yuanzhang did not say what he was thinking.

Xiao Ran said slowly, "During the Chu-Han conflict, Liu Bang won over many people and was able to defeat Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, forcing Xiang Yu to commit suicide, and finally conquered the world."

"After Liu Bang's victory, he immediately deprived him of his military power. This move was very disappointing."

"It was also because of this that Han Wangxin fell to the border and finally surrendered to the Huns." "The world was not stable just after the war. After Liu Bang suppressed it, the army in his hands would be damaged. Coupled with many years of war, the foundation of the Han Dynasty was unstable, and the Han Dynasty was not stable. Military fatigue is also normal.”

Therefore, even if Liu Bang escaped from the siege of Baideng, the Han Dynasty would still be weak against the Huns.

This time selling weapons and inviting Han Taizu to become employees was just Xiao Ran's whim.

"I remember that after the siege of Baideng, the Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty opened the customs market. The Huns have always been greedy, and a compromise will only result in endless greed!" Zhu Yuanzhang understood the reason and still cursed the Huns angrily.

"I should go again. Will my uncle come with me next time?"

"I'm not going, I'm not going. Let's go back and approve the memorial." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and left the company without interest.

By the time Xiao Ran saw Liu Bang again, it was already half a month later.

Liu Bang took the initiative to contact Xiao Ran and stopped by to visit the company.

"I came here today to know who the emperor will be after me." Liu Bang was already middle-aged and knew that he would not be on the throne for too long.

After understanding the company's rules, he asked directly.

"Your son Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of Han."

Liu Bang understood, but there was some regret in his eyes, "My son should have chosen to recuperate and recuperate like me, so that this man can continue for so many years."

"That's true. It's a pity that his life is short." Xiao Ran sighed with emotion.

"The emperor who has been an emperor for more than ten years is not bad." Emperor Hui of Han died early, and Liu Bang was not surprised at all.

Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, encountered many hardships when he was young. During the Chu-Han War, he and his mother Lu Fei were captured in Xiang Yu's military camp.

Of course Xiang Yu would not be too kind to the fight for hegemony at that time, which resulted in Liu Ying's poor health.

Xiao Ran shook his head and denied the time Liu Bang said, "Seven years, Emperor Hui of Han reigned for seven years."

"Then who is it? Liu Fei?" Liu Bang was a little shocked.

He knew that the prince was in poor health and that his reign was too short.

"There is a son, Liu Ruyi, born to you and Mrs. Qi. He almost replaced the crown prince with a younger son."

"However, Empress Lu and the ministers tried their best to dissuade him, but failed, so they could only be crowned King of Zhao."

"After the death of Han Hui Emperor Liu Ying, he also failed to sit on the throne of emperor."

Liu Bang was confused. His prince had died, and his eldest son and younger son would not be emperors. Who would be the emperor?

"Then who is in power? Where has my son Liu Ruyi gone?" Not caring about Liu Fei's whereabouts, Liu Bang subconsciously asked about his youngest son.

Xiao Ran was silent. How can I put it this way? Liu Ruyi died quite miserably.

"After Liu Ying's death, Empress Lu took power and reigned for eight years."

"As for Liu Ruyi, she was poisoned to death by Empress Lu when she was eleven years old."

Liu Bang stood up suddenly, "I'm going to kill this vicious woman! How can I give the world of my Liu family to a woman!"

"Queen Lu will conquer the world with you. She is very familiar with the affairs of the court. She is also the mother of the prince."

Xiao Ran continued speaking calmly.

Hearing this, Liu Bang calmed down and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for the tip."

After seeing Liu Bang off, Xiao Ran didn't care what he would do to Empress Lu, and went home to rest.

……

Inside Changle Palace.

Liu Bang summoned the palace servants and said, "Go and invite the prince to come over."

The young Liu Ying was escorted into the palace. He knelt down and saluted politely, "Father."

The Han Dynasty had experienced too many wars, and it was indeed a good choice to recuperate, so Liu Bang was satisfied with Liu Ying becoming emperor.

Just died too young.

Liu Bang thought for a moment, "How is your health? I will arrange some medical doctors for you."

These words made Liu Ying a little panicked. He rarely received Liu Bang's gentle expression, "Father, did I do something wrong?"

"As my son, why are you so timid? From tomorrow on, you will come to study in front of me every day!" Liu Bang couldn't stand Liu Ying's appearance, so he impatiently gave the order.

Liu Fei was of no use, and Liu Ruyi was only five years old and still a child.

Training Liu Ying is the best choice now.

Liu Ying trembled all over and agreed tremblingly.

The news that Liu Ying was summoned by Liu Bang soon reached Empress Lu's ears.

The palace man said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you really value the prince. What a privilege it is to teach him personally."

Queen Lu closed her eyes and said calmly, "Let the prince come over tomorrow."

Day two.

Liu Ying, who was only eleven years old, sat next to Liu Bang.

Standing in the hall were Xiao He, Chen Ping and Xia Houying.

"In the future, you come to teach the prince, and I will personally check your lessons every day."

Liu Bang chose to watch in person, not giving Empress Lu any chance to mislead Liu Ying.

"The ministers obey the order."

In the past, Liu Bang didn't value the prince, and these ministers didn't pay much attention to Liu Ying, but now they looked him up and down.

Someone from the palace came into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is waiting outside."

Not being able to see Liu Ying, Empress Lu felt a little worried and came directly to look for someone.

She always felt that Liu Bang was a little strange.

"Let her come in." After Liu Bang knew what would happen in the future, he never went to see Empress Lu.

The two had been married for so many years, but being named queen was not enough to satisfy Empress Lu, so she actually poisoned his children and took power herself.

Empress Lu stepped into the palace and saw Xiao He and others.

"Your Majesty, I wanted to meet Ying'er, but I didn't expect Ying'er to be in Changle Palace."

"Liu Ying's studies will get heavier in the future, so don't disturb her at will." Liu Bang said with a cold face.

Empress Lu frowned, "Your Majesty, Ying'er is young and her body is even weaker. She should take good care of herself now."

"You don't need to worry, I have my own arrangements. Queen, don't delay your business here." Liu Bang drove away Queen Lu without mercy.

After exiting Changle Palace, Empress Lu looked ugly and said, "Go and find out who seduced Your Majesty!"

She always felt uneasy, as if something big was going to happen.

Xiao He and others in the palace exchanged glances secretly. They knew that Liu Bang had no feelings for the queen long ago.

But for the first time, I saw Liu Bang not giving face in public and driving away Queen Lu.

Facing the unfamiliar Liu Bang, Liu Ying was too scared to raise her head.

"Xia Houying, you first teach him to strengthen his body. It's best to change his fear of hands and feet." Liu Bang pushed Liu Ying to Xia Houying.

Xia Houying hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, "I obey your order."

Immediately, Liu Bang reviewed the memorial in the palace, and Xiao He and three others guarded Liu Ying's teachings.

Officials in the court inquired several times and were convinced that Liu Bang valued Liu Ying.

The quick-thinking ministers and officials began to make friends with the Lu family, and Liu Bang secretly sent people to keep an eye on them to write down the list.

Empress Lu couldn't understand Liu Bang's attitude. She searched and searched but couldn't find the concubine Liu Bang had recently touched.

"Queen, your majesty may really want to train the prince to succeed to the throne."

"I have been married to the emperor for many years, and many things happened when he was conquering the world. I have long understood that he is definitely not a good-hearted person!"

Empress Lu knew clearly that Liu Bang did not like the kind and weak Liu Ying, and preferred Liu Ruyi who was born to Mrs. Qi.
