Xiao He sat on the bed, staring at Liu Chang in front of him.

Liu Chang held a chicken in his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Xiang, the widow came to visit you on the order of the Queen Mother... Are you okay? ”

"Your Majesty, before his death, His Majesty said many times that those who are in the world of the Han Dynasty will also be a milky tiger."

"This time it shouldn't have been peaceful, why did the king agree?!"

Xiao He said very seriously, but Liu Chang laughed, "Xiao Xiang doesn't know... In fact, long before the envoy met His Majesty, I had already written a letter, righteously rejecting the request for peace, and handed the letter to the messenger.... When Maudon saw the letter, he probably understood what I meant. ”

"Oh? Then why didn't the king object to the peace of his ministers? ”

Liu Chang's face was disdainful, he sat proudly in front of Xiao He, and said, "The prime minister is bad for me!" ”

"Oh?"

"It's a cold winter now, and in a few days, the Xiongnu will definitely fight against the Yueshi with all their might... Mao Dun sent an envoy, in fact, it was a discord, a discord between me and the ministers, a discord between the Tang State and the Han Dynasty, and at the same time, it was also to have a stable rear, so that the Yue clan could be eliminated in one fell swoop. ”

"My thoughts are like this, since Mao Dun wants to see the discord between the Tang Kingdom and the Han Dynasty, then the widow will let him see... It's better to let the ministers accuse me, and let Your Majesty order the Tang State not to attack the Xiongnu... I am very embarrassed to give Tang Guo an order to stop all activities against the Xiongnu...", Liu Chang suddenly laughed, "When the Xiongnu mistakenly thought that Tang Guo no longer dared to go out, and attacked Yueshi with all his might..."

"The king will raid the three major tribes of the Xiongnu outside the Tang Kingdom and wipe them all out."

Liu Chang shook his head, "What's the matter, Xiao Xiang is making a fuss in the temple, so that my strategy can't go on, my Tang Kingdom only has more than 4,000 war horses now, if the Xiongnu don't relax, if they want to swallow a few tribes near his Tang Kingdom, I'm afraid it will not be easy." ”

After receiving Maodun's letter, the widow came up with this foolproof strategy, and wrote a letter to Zhang Xiang in advance, asking him to prepare for the expedition, just waiting for Maodun to send his daughter, and rest assured to go to the Yueshi to come.... The widow is also ready to communicate with the king of the Yue clan in advance, so that he can involve the Xiongnu for a while... It's a pity. ”

Xiao He suddenly asked, "How does this sound like a ploy by the Marquis of Huaiyin?" ”

"Huh? How did Xiao Xiang know?! ”

Liu Chang's eyes widened and he asked in surprise.

Xiao He pursed his lips, "The Marquis of Huaiyin is a good strategy, and if he does this, isn't he using the reputation of the Great Han in exchange for the victory of the Tang Kingdom?" In this way, the people outside the Saiwai only knew that the Tang State was brave, but they thought that the Han was weak.... It seems that the Marquis of Huaiyin still has no heart to die. ”

Liu Chang smirked, "This widow doesn't know." ”

"The king, although the minister is old, he is not one of those stupid things in the court, and the king does not need to be fooled."

"Huh? How could Xiao Xiang say this about the important ministers of the court? They're all nice people... In order to achieve the victory of the Tang Kingdom, Uncle Sun Tong even risked his life to come to ask for his mother..."

"They thought they had sold the king in exchange for the peace of the Han Dynasty, but in the end, they were sold by the king in exchange for the victory of the Tang Kingdom."

"A widow is not a villain who betrays others."

Xiao He calmed down and said earnestly: "O king, the minister has a word, I hope the king will remember it." ”

"Xiao Xiang, please speak."

"Please let the king get married as soon as possible and have more sons."

Liu Chang was a little skeptical for a while if there was something wrong with his ears, how did this sound like Zhang Xiang's words?

He was in a trance for a moment, and then asked, "What did you say?" ”

"The minister let the king sit in the Tang Kingdom because the king is brave and can resist foreign enemies, and the clan is weak, please let the king have more sons, strengthen the clan, and protect the Han."

"Hahaha, good, good, the widow will listen to Xiao Xiang! It's up to me! I'll take your advice! Liu Daxi patted his chest and looked excited.

Liu Chang left very happily.

And after Xiao He saw him leave, he called a retainer and handed him a letter tremblingly, "In the future... After the king of Tang went to the feudal country, he handed the letter to the queen mother, and if the queen mother was not there, he would give it to the son of heaven. ”

.......

"Mother, I'm going to marry the second daughter of the Cao family tomorrow."

Seeing Liu Chang, who was sitting in front of him, with a solemn expression and sincere words, Empress Lu's heart suddenly became angry, and he looked at him coldly.

"This is not for myself, today I went to visit Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang said that the clan is weak today, I should start a family earlier, have a few more children, and defend the Han in the future, I am all for the Han, I have no selfishness!"

Lu Hou sneered and said: "Since you have no selfishness, then don't always think about the daughter of the Cao family, I think Fan Qing is very good, since you have the heart to do the world, I won't stop you much, tomorrow I will be a matchmaker for you and marry Fan Qing." ”

"Huh??"

Liu Chang jumped up violently, "Mother, I'm still young, and my brothers haven't started a family yet, how can I get my turn?" I'll talk about this later! ”

Before Empress Lu could reply, Liu Chang quickly fled from the Jiaofang Palace.

Lu Hou snorted coldly, and then picked up the bamboo slip in his hand, but his face became more and more cold, the content of the letter was about South Vietnam.

When Liu Chang walked out of the palace, the three major housekeepers had already arrived.

The unhappiness in Liu Chang's heart disappeared suddenly, and he walked up with a smile, "You guys finally came out!" ”

Liu Chang held Luan Bu's hand tightly and said excitedly: "It's just that I haven't seen you for a few days, I almost thought that a few years have passed, and I really miss you so much, including Chang'an Qunxian, there is no one who doesn't miss you!" ”

When Luan Bu heard this, he was still a little moved in his heart, "Thank you for your concern... He was guilty of making the king grieving. ”

"Hey, it's okay, you're out now... We can finally go to the ride, someone can fish us out..."

The emotion in Luan Bu's heart suddenly disappeared.

Liu Chang led them all the way towards Han Xin's mansion, and asked, "Tingwei's people didn't deliberately embarrass you, did they?" ”

Luan Bu shook his head, "Don't worry, the people there are old acquaintances with me... I have never been embarrassed, sometimes I drink with them, I am comfortable all day long, and I don't have to catch the king anymore... Actually, the Tingwei prison is also quite good...."

Zhang Budo also opened his mouth and said: "Yes... We were originally in Chang'an, fidgeting all day long, for fear that the king would run away again, once the king disappeared, we ran around Chang'an, and we were blinded by people, and the king made any mistakes, and we had to be reprimanded by the Queen Mother and Her Majesty... Alas, it was quite peaceful in the prison. ”

"What? Want to go in and stay longer? Do you want me to help you? ”

"Forget it, if the minister goes in, who will get the king out?"

A few people laughed and chatted, Liu Chang remembered the matter, and said again: "The saddle that the widow asked Shang Fang to build, you have to get it back for me earlier, that good brother of mine gave me a horse, that horse is really good-looking, come out of the master later, I will take you to see it, hahaha..."

Liu Chang proudly showed off his BMW, and soon came to the door of Han Xin's mansion.

"Master!!"

Liu Chang screamed and rushed into the inner room, and the housekeepers stood outside the door.

Han Xin glanced at Liu Chang calmly and asked, "The matter didn't work out?" ”

"How does the master know?"

"If it works, you should walk in laughing."

"The master still understands me!"

Liu Chang sat down in front of Han Xin and said in a low voice: "Xiao Xiang went to the palace and angrily reprimanded the ministers, but in the end he still failed to negotiate peace... His Majesty said to the messenger that unless he apologized first, the Han would never make peace with him, and that if he wanted to marry a daughter, he would provide a dowry of 3,000 horses. ”

"It's a pity."

"Master, what should I do next?"

"Recuperate, pretend to be suspicious, you have to show a very angry look, let Tang Guo continue to send troops to the border pass, and make it look like he is about to send troops... In this way, Mao Dun will not dare to fight with the Yue Clan and Ding Ling with all his might, and the longer it is involved, the better..."

"Okay, I'll give Zhang Xiang an order."

"Also, I have a friend who wants to come to see me, but at the moment I can't go out, and no one can come in, so you can visit him instead of me."

"Huh? Friends again? It can't be someone like Quicher again, right? ”

Liu Chang's face was full of displeasure.

When Han Xin saw him like this, he snorted disdainfully and said, "You'll know when you see him." ”

"Hmph, it's better not to be a person like Kui Che, otherwise, I will have to cook him, and then arrest his family to repair the Tang Palace!

Liu Chang led the three housekeepers to an ordinary house in the south of Chang'an City.

"This is it, right? The third house on the left? ”

"King, this is it."

Liu Chang ordered Luan Bu to knock on the door this time, Liu Chang waited at the door for a while, looking around, this is a very quiet street, there are few pedestrians on the road, and the dog barking can not be heard, it is extremely quiet, Liu Chang waited for a while, no one opened them, so he stepped forward irritably and prepared to knock again, at this time, the door was suddenly opened.

The door was opened by an old farmer, who was dressed plainly, with dark skin and cloudy eyes, a typical old farmer of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, then poked his head out to look behind him, and asked, "Is your master at home?" ”

"I don't have a master."

"Uh... Gone wrong? ”

Liu Chang pondered for a moment, stared at him, and asked again, "Then do you know the Marquis of Huaiyin?" ”

"Acquaintance."

An old farmer in the countryside said that he knew Han Xin, which made the people feel a little surprised, Liu Chang was not much surprised, and waited for a while with his waist crossed, seeing that this person just didn't mean to invite him in, Liu Chang was furious and shouted: "The widow is the king of Tang, and he came to visit on the order of the Marquis of Huaiyin, why don't you invite me in!" ”

"Oh, my lord, please come in."

Even if he learned that the man in front of him was the Tang King, the old farmer's face was not a little surprised, but he calmly got out of the way and let them go in, Liu Chang took the lead and walked into the mansion, Luan Bu and Zhang Budo followed him, but Ji Bu stared at the old farmer tightly, only feeling that he was a little familiar, but he couldn't recognize it.

The house is also quite simple, the kennel in the front yard is empty, and the snorting of pigs can not be heard in the backyard.

Liu Chang sat down and looked around seriously, but the old farmer had already brought food and placed it in front of them.

This meal is a little bit of millet plus wild vegetables that Liu Chang can't recognize, and millet is not the same as what Liu Chang eats on weekdays, but Liu Chang did not hesitate, picked up the meal, and Zhang Budo said: "The king... This...."

"What, you want to come too?"

"It's not..."

"Then I'll eat it myself!"

Liu Chang said, and ate a lot, the old farmer saw this scene, smiled, Liu Chang wolfed down the meal, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and asked, "You eat this on weekdays?" ”

"You can only eat when you meet a distinguished guest."

"My family used to have a lot of property, but then I distributed all my money and food to the surrounding villagers, and my family became poor."

"You're not bad, then... Luan Bu, take the money! ”

Liu Chang took some money from Luan Bu's hand and put it in front of the old farmer, "I won't eat you for nothing, these are the food money!" ”

The old farmer took the money very skillfully, and he didn't even hesitate or excuse himself, which made Zhang Budo extremely angry, but seeing that this person was old, he didn't open his mouth to scold.

"You're a friend of my master? What did you do before? ”

"I've ever driven a car."

"Oh, groom... Then how did you know my master? ”

"He was defeated by the Marquis of Huaiyin and captured in front of the tent."

"He's still a thief... And then? ”

"Later, he fought with the Marquis of Huaiyin, and he made some small contributions, so he was awarded an official position."

"And how did you start farming now?"

"Later, the Marquis of Huaiyin was arrested... Fearing that I would be implicated, I resigned and went into seclusion. ”

"Isn't seclusion all in the mountains and old forests? How did you live in seclusion in Chang'an? ”

"The deep mountains and old forests are too dangerous, and the roads are inconvenient."

"Hahaha, you're quite interesting!"

Liu Chang smiled and chatted with him for a while, and then asked him if he had anything he wanted to say to the master, the old farmer shook his head and said, "I haven't been in contact with the Marquis of Huaiyin for a long time, so please ask him to take care of his body." ”

Liu Chang didn't say much, and was about to get up to say goodbye, when suddenly, Ji Bu pointed at him sharply and shouted, "You are Guangwujun!! ”

Liu Chang was stunned, "Guangwujun? Why haven't I heard of it? Who is it? ”

The old peasant smiled and said nothing.

Ji Bu's face became more and more respectful, and he met the old man, and then whispered to Liu Chang: "Guangwujun is a Zhao person, the grandson of Zhao's famous general Wu Anjun..."

"What?! Li Mu's grandson?! ”

"Guangwujun once assisted Zhao Wang Xie, because Cheng Anjun Chen Yu did not listen to his advice, so he was defeated with the Marquis of Huaiyin, after defeating the enemy, the Marquis of Huaiyin offered a reward of a thousand gold, and later captured Guangwujun, the Marquis of Huaiyin personally loosened the tie for him, let him sit facing east, treat each other with a teacher's courtesy, and ask him for advice on the strategy of defeating Qi and Yan...."

"What?? My master asked him for advice?! ”

For a moment, Liu Chang looked at the old man in front of him in a daze, and was speechless.

"The !! of the Middle Father"

Liu Chang shook Li Zuoche's hands violently, and said excitedly: "Your name is like thunder, I heard your name when I was young, and I worship you very much on weekdays, always thinking that one day we can meet, but I don't think that we can meet today!" What a blessing for me! ”

Even if it was Li Zuoche, he was taken aback by Liu Chang's look.

"Don't dare to be the king's middle father..."

"No, the Marquis of Huaiyin is my teacher, and he once treated you with disciple courtesy, then you are my master's master, my elder! Disciples and grandchildren meet the patriarch!! ”

Liu Chang was about to bow down, Li Zuoche hurriedly helped him up, and said with a wry smile: "King, I have already resigned at home, and now I am just an ordinary person." ”

"How can you spend your time at home with such talent? Please go to the Tang Kingdom, I would like to take the middle father as the minister of state! ”

Luan Bu's mouth twitched, there are really more ministers of my Tang Kingdom than pavilion chiefs.

"I don't have what it takes to be the prime minister... Go back, my lord, and I should rest. ”

Li Zuoche is very polite to send off passengers.

Liu Chang's eyes widened, and he said sadly: "At the beginning, Wu Anjun of Zhao State couldn't bear to see the people being bullied by the Huns, fought angrily, defeated the Huns, and sheltered the people. ”

Hearing this, Li Zuoche was also taken aback, and the Huns began to engage in military merit.

Liu Chang wiped his tears and said bitterly: "The widow is benevolent and weak, and he doesn't understand the war, so he can only watch the people of the Tang Kingdom suffer, and there is nothing he can do... Now that you ignore the suffering of the people of the Tang Kingdom, but sit here and spend your time in vain, how can you be worthy of your ancestors? Wu Anjun!! When will there be a person like you in the world? Wu Anjun!! Your descendants are not like you!! ”

Seeing Liu Chang howling, Li Zuoche couldn't sit still.

"King!"

"Although I live in seclusion, I still know some things about the world."

"Huh? Since you know the tragic situation of the people of the Tang Kingdom, why don't you save it? You have such talents, why should you die and not be saved! Are you worthy of the people of the world? Are you worthy of your ancestors?! ”

Ji Bu hurriedly dragged Liu Chang and said in a low voice: "The king... Ahem, can't be too rude. ”

Li Zuoche was naturally unhappy in his heart, he lived in seclusion here, and suddenly someone came to him, ate his own bowl of rice, and began to curse after eating, who can bear this?

He said angrily, "Please go back, the king!" I'm not going to leave here! I asked the emperor to resign, and the emperor personally agreed, and issued an edict to let me enjoy my old age in peace, what can the king do? ! ”

"Hmph, this is not up to you, Luan Bu! Tie him up!! ”

When Liu Chang raised his head and walked out of the inner room, Zhang Budo and Luan Bu were dragging Li Zuoche out of the house, Li Zuoche struggled desperately, and where could he beat these two strong guys, Zhang Budo scolded: "Hugh wants to move!" Tie you up and go to King Tang to be the prime minister! How many people would love to be tied up! ”

Ji Bu stood aside, wanting to speak and stopping, with a complicated expression.

Li Zuoche's face turned red and shouted, "Does the king want to force me to commit suicide?!" ”

Liu Chang stopped suddenly, he turned around, and walked in front of Li Zuoche seriously, Liu Chang at this moment, looked so serious, and there was no longer the frivolity of weekdays, he asked: "I don't understand, you have such a talent, you have the talent to convince the Marquis of Huaiyin, why are you unwilling to stand up, why are you unwilling to help Tang Guo?" ”

Facing Liu Chang's inquiry, Li Zuoche suddenly quieted down.

He hesitated for a moment and muttered, "What if you have talent, how about being able to fight... Even if it is such a military exploit as the Marquis of Huaiyin... What happened in the end? Even if it's my grandfather's feats... What happened in the end? The white rise of the Qin State, the Tiandan of the Qi State... And what about them? ”

Liu Chang looked at him deeply, "So you think so." ”

"Then do you think that when your grandfather went to defeat the Xiongnu and defend the people of Zhao, he was for military exploits? Was he afraid? ”

Li Zuoche looked at him and was speechless for a while.

Liu Chang shook his head disdainfully, "Luan Bu, let go of him... Such a person is not worthy of going to the Tang Kingdom, but unfortunately, there are no more people like Wu Anjun. ”

Seeing Liu Chang and others walk out of the courtyard directly, Li Zuoche stood in place in a daze, his face became more and more red, gritting his teeth, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

He hurried out of the mansion.

"Shaft! Who do you say is unworthy!! ”
