Chapter 751: Dreamed
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Fu Long returned to the post station, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhang Bu was really insatiable, and he even opened his mouth to ask His Majesty for 100,000 households. He immediately asked people to take pen and ink and bamboo slips, and wrote a note to Liu Xiu.
In the song, Fu Long did not say a word about Zhang Bu's desire to do 100,000 households, only said that he had now arrived in Xi County and met with Zhang Bu, and would try his best to persuade him to accept the position of Donglai Taishou and so on.
After writing this letter, Fu Long handed it to his subordinates and asked him to send it out before it was dark to close the city. Fu Long's entourage should have spoken, took the song, carefully wrapped it, and then walked out quickly.
The entourage wanted to leave the city with the song, but they were interrogated by the officers and soldiers defending the city. Seeing that the soldiers wanted to check the song, the entourage's faces suddenly changed, and they shouted: "Bold! This is a recital for Your Majesty, how can you see it? ”
The soldiers present were all full of indifference, and they all sneered and said: "Now that there are more people pretending to be the Son of Heaven, how do we know if what you say is true or false!" One of the captains at the head snatched the song over and took a closer look. He read the contents of the note from beginning to end, and confirmed that it was really the note written by Fu Long to Liu Xiu, so he rolled it up, returned it to his entourage respectfully, and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is really Dr. Fu's note, and the little ones have no eyes."
Zhu, if there is something offensive, please bear with this gentleman! ”
"You...... You guys are so daring! The attendant was so angry that his lips trembled and his fists clenched, but there was nothing he could do about the other side on the ground. In the end, the retinue took the song and left resentfully.
As soon as he left, the captain of the city gate ran to Zhang Bu's mansion and reported the contents of the recital to Zhang Bu one by one. After Zhang Bu heard this, he immediately threw the teacup in his hand to the ground. Fu Long didn't say anything bad about Zhang Bu in the recital, but he didn't say a word about what Zhang Bu was looking forward to the most. Fu Long promised him very well in front of him, and would report to the Son of Heaven that he had conferred on him 100,000 household marquises, but he did not do so in the song
Write.
Zhang Bu's three younger brothers, Zhang Hong, Zhang Lan, and Zhang Shou are also there. Zhang Bu looked at his three brothers and said, "I want 100,000 household marquis, but Fu Long didn't write this matter in the song, what did he mean?" ”
Zhang Hong, Zhang Lan, and Zhang Shou looked at each other, and Zhang Hong said quietly: "Maybe, Liu Xiu didn't plan to accept the throne of the eldest brother!" ”
Zhang Lan also answered: "It is also possible that the ministers of Luoyang look down on the eldest brother at all, and they don't even bother to report that the eldest brother wants to do 100,000 households!" ”
"It's too much of a deception! It's so deceitful! Zhang Bu was so angry that he stomped his feet, thinking that he Zhang Bu had several counties and tens of thousands of troops, and now he only wanted a hundred thousand households, which was simply an insult to him.
Fu Long did not report this matter to Liu Xiu, one of them was that he felt that Zhang Bushi opened his mouth widely, and the conditions put forward were estimated to be nine times out of ten that His Majesty would not agree, and it would be redundant to report it himself.
Secondly, at the beginning of the court, he boasted about Haikou, saying that he could successfully appease Zhang Bu by only giving Zhang Bu an official position of Taishou, and now Zhang Bu is asking for 100,000 household marquis, which has greatly exceeded his promise in the court.
Moreover, along the way, he has been appeasing all the counties and counties very smoothly, and he has also been praised by the Son of Heaven, and even the Son of Heaven has compared him to Li Shiqi, where is he embarrassed to truthfully report Zhang Bu's request for 100,000 households.
In this matter, Fu Long is indeed at fault, since Zhang Bu has already set out the conditions, he should report it truthfully, as for whether the court accepts it or not, it is Liu Xiu's business, and it has nothing to do with him.
But if he deceives and doesn't report it now, it is tantamount to making a decision on behalf of Liu Xiu and rejecting Zhang Bu's conditions.
Fu Long went to Ju County to appease Zhang Bu, and Liu Yong, who was in Huling, also heard about it, Liu Yong was shocked and hurriedly sent a messenger to Ju County.
The people he can count on now, that is, Zhang Bu and Dong Xian, if these two people defect, even if it is just one of them, and take refuge in Liu Xiu, he will completely lose hope of turning over. Liu Yong's understanding of Zhang Bu is far better than that of Fu Long. Liu Yong's envoy Liu Qi arrived in Xi County and met with Zhang Bu. After the greetings, Liu Qi said straight to the point: "Your Majesty knows that Gong Wen is loyal, and he sent me here this time to make a special trip for Wen
The public sent this thing! ”
As he spoke, he beckoned to his entourage outside.
An attendant walked in with a small box in his hand. The attendant respectfully placed the small box in front of Liu Qi. Zhang Bu looked puzzled, and asked with a smile: "Brother Liu, what is in this?" ”
Liu Qi smiled slightly, opened the lid of the box, and took out a pair of seals from it. The ribbon is two things, the seal refers to the seal of the letter, and the ribbon refers to the ribbon. The seal is to be worn on the body, and the strap with the seal is the ribbon.
Just by looking at the seal ribbon he wears, you can judge the status of a person.
The ribbon that Liu Qi took out was a red ribbon with a red base, with four colors on it, red, yellow, ethereal, and cyan. Seeing this pair of ribbons, Zhang Bu was shocked, this was the king's ribbon.
He looked at Liu Qi in surprise and said, "Liu ...... Brother Liu, this ...... It's ......"
Liu Qi knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zhang Bu, and said: "Your Majesty canonizes Duke Wen as the king of Qi, and the minister Liu Qi knocks to see the king of Qi!" ”
Zhang Bu's mouth was so wide open, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
I have to say that Liu Yong's understanding of Zhang Bu has been understood in his bones, and he knows very well what Zhang Bu wants most, and this attack tactic directly penetrates Zhang Bu's heart.
After a long time, Zhang Bu reacted, picked up the Wang Yin and the ribbon with trembling hands, and held them in his hands, he couldn't put them down.
King Qi! This is the seal of King Qi! What ten thousand households, one hundred thousand households, and the title of King of Qi are not worth mentioning.
His eyes fell on the seal ribbon, and he muttered in his mouth: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's step is really as kind as a mountain!" ”
Liu Qi raised his head, glanced at Zhang Bu, and said meaningfully: "I also hope that King Qi can repay Your Majesty with courage and loyalty!" ”
Zhang Bu's body shook suddenly, he slowly put down the seal of King Qi in his hand, looked at Liu Qi, and said quietly: "Presumably Brother Liu has also heard that Dr. Fu from Luoyang is now in Xi County!" ”
Liu Qi nodded and said with a smile: "I did hear about it." ”
Zhang Bu said slowly: "Doctor Fu promised me that he would be named a 100,000 household marquis!" ”
Liu Qi smiled indifferently and said meaningfully: "Even if it is a million marquis, it is only a marquis, how can it be compared with the king?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Bu's eyes flickered, and his gaze subconsciously glanced at King Qi Yinshou. Liu Qi continued: "What's more, how can Liu Xiu'er's promise be believed? Has King Qi forgotten the fate of the red-eyebrow leaders? ”
This sentence entered Zhang Bu's heart again. Fan Chong, Xu Xuan, Feng An, Xie Lu and others were all killed for rebellion, but whether they were really rebelling or Liu Xiu's desire to add crimes, who knows, in short, they are all dead.
If he takes refuge in Liu Xiu, in the end, will he also follow in the footsteps of Fan Chong, Xu Xuan and others? Just thinking about it, Zhang Bu shuddered.
Relatively speaking, Liu Yong treated him well, he has always treated him with courtesy, and this time he even canonized him as the king of Qi.
"King Qi? King Qi? Seeing that Zhang Bu was engrossed, Liu Qi called him several times. Zhang Bu finally came back to his senses, he was still a little uncomfortable with the title of King of Qi, but the more he listened to it, the more comfortable he became.
He laughed and asked, "Brother Liu, what's the matter?" ”
Liu Qi waved his hand and said, "Now that the King of Qi is calling the minister Brother Liu again, the minister can't afford it!" ”
Zhang Bu's face was even more joyful, he laughed, and said very generously: "Although Lone is the king of Qi, the friendship between you and me is still there!" ”
Liu Qi looked at Zhang Bu, who was overjoyed, and nodded secretly, Your Majesty's move is really clever, a seal, a ribbon, and the clothes that Zhang Bu bought are obedient.
He said: "Your Majesty hopes that King Qi will abide by his duties and not believe the coaxing of Luoyang. ”
Zhang Bu's face was straight, and he said quietly: "If Lone refuses Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu raises troops to attack, how will Lone Dang respond?" ”
Liu Qi Zhengse said: "Although Suiyang is temporarily occupied by Liu Xiu'er, but Your Majesty is in Suiyang, and the foundation is deep, how can Liu Xiu'er compare?" Does King Qi think His Majesty really can't take Suiyang back? ”
Zhang Bu took a breath, Liu Yong did have a deep foundation in Suiyang, and he knew this very well. If Liu Yong can really recapture Suiyang, then it's really hard to say what the division of the world will be!
Liu Qi Zhengse said: "When Your Majesty recaptures Suiyang and joins forces with King Qi and General Dong to fight against Liu Xiu, isn't Kanto still our world?" ”
Zhang Bu narrowed his eyes and asked slowly, "Dong Xian is still willing to remain loyal to His Majesty?" ”
"Of course! His Majesty has decided to canonize General Dong as the King of Haixi! ”
Zhang Bu's eyes flashed again, Liu Yong named himself the king of Qi, and Dong Xian as the king of Haixi, it turned out that he was not the only king with a different surname.
But after thinking about it, he was relieved that compared with himself, the King of Qi, the King of Haixi was still a step behind.
Moreover, having Dong Xian on his side is indeed a big help.
Dong Xian's territory is not large, only Donghai County, but Dong Xian's soldiers and horses are quite a lot, even if there are not as many soldiers and horses as Zhang Bu, but there is almost the same, at least about 100,000. And Dong Xian's prestige is extremely high.
In order to exterminate the Red Mei Army, Wang Mang sent Lian Dan and Wang Kuang to lead an army of 100,000 to defeat the Red Mei.
In this battle, Dong Xian won a big victory, defeated Wang Kuang, and killed Lian Dan. Therefore, the other parts of the Red Eyebrow Army led by Dong Xian have extremely strong combat power and a great reputation, and after the main force of the Red Eyebrow Army led by Fan Chong and Xu Xuan was annihilated by Liu Xiu, many remnants of the Red Eyebrow Army ran to Donghai County and took refuge in Dong Xian, during this period of time, Dong Xian's strength
It has also been greatly improved, and the military strength is stronger.
With Dong Xian on his side, Zhang Bu does have a lot of confidence in his heart. He nodded and said, "Your Majesty is rewarded like this, and it makes sense!" ”
Liu Qi asked with a smile: "Your Majesty's canonization, did King Qi accept it?" ”
When Zhang Bu heard this, he immediately got up, first bowed to Liu Qishen, and then faced the direction of Huling, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said: "Minister, Zhang Bu, King of Qi, thank Your Majesty Longen!" ”
After Zhang Bu got up, Liu Qi said with a smile: "Your Majesty means that Fu Long, don't let him go back to Luoyang." ”
Zhang Bu subconsciously squinted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "I still need to think carefully and deliberate about this matter!" ”
Liu Yong's meaning was obviously to kill Fu Long, but Fu Long was not a small person in Luoyang, he himself was Guanglu Doctor, his father's Da Situ, and his uncle was Guangluxun, all of whom occupied prominent positions in the Luoyang Imperial Court.
Killing Fu Long is tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest, and there will be no room for maneuver between himself and the Luoyang court. Of course, this is also the result that Liu Yong wants to see the most.
