Chapter 0006: Emperor Liu
Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace North Que.
One incense, one furnace, one case; Two people, two swords, two feasts.
Liu Hong's left hand was on the hilt of the "Emperor Gao Slashing White Snake Sword" on his waist, and he took a difficult step to come to the desk placed in Beique Square.
About ten steps across from him, Zhou Bo stared at Liu Hong, who he once despised as a "breastfeeding child" in almost the same posture, with his brows furrowed.
Neither of them spoke, nor sat down, just stared at each other in the depths of their gazes.
In the eyes of the onlookers, in the rising sun in the east, there was a young man dressed in a white eunuch's robe, looking up slightly at the burly man in front of him, who was more than eight feet tall.
After a long time, Zhou Bo's tightly knit brows were still the same, slightly forward, and his waist straightened: "What does Your Excellency want?" β
Call~~~
Secretly let out a sigh of relief, Liu Hong was determined in his heart - after holding on for so long, he finally took the lead!
With a little peace of mind, Liu Hong's fingers pretended to hit the hilt of the sword inadvertently, but he didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Bo with mockery in his eyes.
Looking at Liu Hong's appearance, Zhou Bo finally let go of the last trace of contempt in his heart and solemnly looked at the young man in front of him.
Rao is Liu Hong fled to Weiyang at night, Rao is Liu Hong who led the northern army to force the palace here, Rao is "killing the king" scandal was missed in front of the people of Chang'an, and Zhou Bo never regarded Liu Hong as an opponent.
In his opinion, Liu Hong is just fighting in the battle of trapped beasts - the identity of the emperor has been deprived, the new emperor has arrived in Chang'an, and Liu Hong's end has long been doomed.
The difference is only that the current situation will make Zhou Bo's reputation more stinky.
Even, the more famous Zhou Bo is in this incident, the more he can get in the future!
ββFor the sake of the new emperor, he did not hesitate to lose his personal honor and disgrace, and ran from the dragon's merits?
It wasn't until this moment, when Zhou Bo took the lead in opening up and tried to open the situation but didn't get Liu Hongdi to respond, that Zhou Bo realized that things were not so simple.
Serving the four kings of the Han dynasty successively (Emperor Gao, Emperor Hui, Emperor Qianshao, and Emperor Houshao), Zhou Bo has never been so serious about one thing as he is now.
Even the events of Emperor Gaozu's crusade against Han Wangxin and Empress LΓΌ and Liuhou conspiring to kill the Marquis of Huaiyin did not make Zhou Bo so solemn.
If you really want to talk about it, the last person who made Zhou Bo so undecided, surname.
Shaking his head slightly, Zhou Bo looked deeply at Liu Hong in front of him, then stepped forward by himself, knelt on the feast, and immediately closed his eyes and recuperated.
For a while, Liu Hong was provoked more than what to do.
"A-Niang~ Why is that person so ignorant of etiquette, and the county official dares to sit down first in front of him?"
"Shhh
A milky inquiring voice provoked the surrounding onlookers to look at the front of the case, even if he knelt down, there was a figure nearly five feet tall.
Zhou Bo was like an old monk in a trance, only closing his eyes and turning a deaf ear to the sounds around him.
One sits with his eyes closed, and the other opens his eyes angrily; The palace guards on the wall, the soldiers of the Northern Army under the wall, and the onlookers were all dumbfounded, and time seemed to freeze again.
To sit, or not to sit?
Liu Hong knew very well in his heart that if he walked over and sat down in front of the people of Chang'an, civil and military officials, and Beiying soldiers like this, then his last hole card, the emperor's identity, would lose all value.
In the more than 400 years of Han Xiangguo, there has never been an emperor who has whispered to his courtiers and can truly control his own destiny!
- Emperor Hui was not liked by Liu Bang because of weakness; Emperor Jing's crown prince Rong was deposed, in a sense, also because of weakness; The crown prince of Emperor Wu was disliked by the pig master, which eventually led to the scourge of witches, also because of his weakness!
It can be said that the emperor of the Han family can be incompetent, ignorant and even tyrannical (Emperor Wu's reputation in officialdom is that he is a tyrant), but the only thing that cannot be there is the slightest weakness!
Moreover, the reason why Liu Hong was able to force Zhou Bo to walk out of Weiyang Palace and negotiate with him in this Beique Square was that in addition to his identity as the emperor, what made Zhou Bo even more jealous was the thousands of soldiers of the Beiying behind him.
If Liu Hong shows the slightest weakness at this moment, then his last reliance will definitely abandon him!
And the army is Liu Hong's only reliance now, the only force he can rely on.
Thinking about these clearly, Liu Hong has made up his mind in his heart and will no longer be entangled.
Choke!
A sword roar startled Zhou Bo's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the little emperor who stood with his sword drawn in disbelief.
Liu Hong had a leisurely look on his face, slowly paced forward, sighed twice towards the sword blade in his hand, lifted his wide sleeves again, wiped it lazily twice, and said sarcastically: "Taiwei still remembers, when Emperor Taizu Gao entrusted this sword to the hand of the former emperor's father, what did he say?" β
Without waiting for Zhou Bo to speak, Liu Hong's complexion changed drastically, and with a wave of his strength, he split the case in front of him in half!
"This sword, God's bestow!"
"Kill the evil god up, behead the delusional minister!!"
An angry shout provoked the two guards behind Zhou Bo to draw their swords in shock; It also made the already deep heads of the people around them buried even deeper.
Liu Hong ignored Zhou Bo's big eyes, walked to the broken table, slammed the white snake sword into the feast, and sat down on his knees; His hand was not withdrawn, and his backhand was still clutched on the hilt of the White Snake Sword.
"If the captain has unfinished words, he can say everything at this time!"
After saying that, Liu Hong also closed his eyes, learned from Zhou Bo's appearance, closed his eyes and recuperated.
The soldiers of the Northern Army, who stood behind Liu Hong, suddenly fell into a frenzy.
"Hey! It is worthy of being the grandson of Emperor Gaozu, this momentum! β
"It really deserves to be the true dragon emperor!"
"Silence!" The conversation between the two soldiers was interrupted by the angry rebuke of the Shangguan on the right side of the queue, and the array, which was originally slightly bustling, suddenly stood still like a green pine.
Seeing this, the captain who had shouted to reprimand the soldiers turned back and entered the ranks; The high face seemed to be looking at the stunned "comrades" on the palace wall with his nostrils.
Looking at all this, the last trace of luck in Zhou Bo's heart was shattered, and his heart was like ashes.
In feudal society, when the king can control the army at the same time, as well as most of the people in the capital, he is almost invincible...
Brutal as Qin II, Zhao Gao and others, even when the world is centrifugal and the rule is crumbling, they can still rely on Zhang Han to levy 200,000 prisoners and extinguish the fire ignited by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, what does it rely on?
It was the old Qin people, to be precise, the old Xianyang people, who sold their livers and kidneys to escort grain and grass to the army, so that Zhang Han could suppress the rebellion with peace of mind.
If it weren't for Zhang Han's attack on Handan, he met Xiang Yu who was ruined in the giant deer, and today, he might not be surnamed Liu or Ying!
Compared with Qin II, the cards in Liu Hong's hand are undoubtedly much better...
When Zhou Bo's heart was shaken, Liu Hong's last sentence was like the last nail nailed to Zhou Bo's coffin board, nailing Zhou Bo's heart.
I saw Liu Hong standing up with his sword and turning around, leaving only Zhou Bo with a thin, but insurmountable back.
"Soldiers listen to orders!"
"Follow me into the palace!!"
