Chapter 53: Self-denial

"The sword is sharp, but its edge is often hidden in its scabbard, do you know why?" Chao Buzhi handed the sword to Lei and said.

Lei was blessed with extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, but he was not very good at figuring out his intentions and dealing with people, otherwise he would not have been forced to flee to Chang'an.

Seeing that Lei was shaken his head, Chao Buzhi smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "Lei is remembered by you, although the sword is sharp, it has double blades, and if it is not used well, it may hurt yourself and others, you have to remember it clearly!" ”

Lei was shocked when he heard this, and he immediately understood the deep meaning of Chao Buzhi's words, and hurriedly said: "Lei was remembered by the child's teachings, and he didn't dare to forget it. ”

Lei was seen and nodded and didn't say anything anymore, there were two more distinguished guests in the house, and he arched his hand and said, "Childe, I'll retreat first." ”

Chao Buzhi smiled: "Okay, let Lao Lei help you find a place to live in the mansion first, and we will talk about it slowly in detail in the future." ”

"No." Old Lei and Lei were said at the same time.

After the two of them exited the door, seeing that Lei was still depressed, Lao Lei smiled and said: "Boy, you always have your eyes on the door of your head on weekdays, now you know, how many talents are there in the world?" What's more, there is no shame in losing in the hands of Childe, after all, even many powerful figures have been calculated by Childe, so you don't have to care too much, after all, Childe still cares about you very much. ”

Who knew that Lei was said with a smile: "Uncle, in fact, I knew that I was destined to lose the moment my son held the scabbard, so I had already expected the ending, but I didn't expect to lose so quickly." ”

"Haha, nephew, that's what you don't know about Childe, and when you follow Childe for a long time, you will know that these are small paths, and they are nothing at all." Lao Lei saw that his nephew was not hit, and said very happily.

"Hmm!" Lei was nodding yes, but his eyes were very deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking, these old Lei didn't notice, because he only cared about introducing Lei to the environment of Chaofu.

Besides, in the hall, the ground was pitted and miserable.

Chao Buzhi looked at Lei Cheng who walked out and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, finally came to a historical celebrity who bowed his head and worshipped, although this person did not end well.

Yuan Gusheng glanced at Chao Bu and sighed: "I didn't expect Chao Langzhong's swordsmanship to be so powerful, it's really like what Lei was said just now, I'm afraid it has already topped the world." ”

Chao Buzhi smiled when he heard this: "I didn't expect Yuan Gugong to come and make fun of me." ”

Yuan Gusheng said: "The old man didn't mean to make fun of you, it's really... It's really your swordsmanship that the old man can't find words to describe it. ”

Yan Zhu next to him also nodded thoughtfully, and Chao Buzhi couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it.

The hall of Liu Wu, the king of Chu, was very spacious, even if more than 200 people were squeezed in, it was not crowded, but it was full of Jin Ge and the aura of slaughter.

After Chao Cuo finished saying the words "send the king on the road", Li Danghu raised his right hand high, and a row of royal forest soldiers holding bows and crossbows instantly stretched their bows and arrows, forming a tense momentum of sword rattling.

Liu Wu saw that Chao was wrong, and immediately said angrily: "Raising you alone for more than ten years, it is time for you to serve the dead, as long as you protect Lone to kill out of Chang'an, Lone will never be stingy with glory and wealth." ”

The soldiers under his command were obviously a little moved when they heard the sound of shortness of breath, but although they were brave, they were facing the most elite Imperial Forest Army of the Han Dynasty.

That's not all, there are still 3,000 men and horses outside the gate, even if they are killed, Emperor Jing can mobilize the southern and northern armies to start an expedition at any time, and it is inevitable that they will die on the way to flee to the Chu State, it is only a matter of time.

But the Han Dynasty not only had loyalty and filial piety, but also had a soldier as a confidant to die, as Liu Wu said in his words, good wine and good meat all year round to raise them, isn't it just for this moment?

Seeing this situation, Zhang Shang stood up from the side again and said to Chao Cuo: "Doctor Chao, can you let the old man say a few words?" ”

"Please!" Chao Cuo said.

Zhang Shang straightened his clothes, then stepped forward, and said a little sadly: "King, how unwise? Today, the son is under the will of the Queen Mother and condemns the king, but it is the Liu family law rather than the national law, can the king not abide by it? How can you be good at ·····?"

"Zhang Xiang doesn't need to persuade again, Lone knows what you mean, but Lone Liu Wu will not let Liu Qi succeed even if he dies, he wants to use Lone's head to warn the princes and kings, but Lone doesn't let him get his way." Liu Wu said in a cold voice, with a violent meaning in his eyes, obviously he had made up his mind.

Zhang Shang shook his head when he heard this, walked to the side, and when he saw this situation, Chao gave Li Danghu a look, Li Danghu suddenly understood in his heart, and his right hand did not hesitate to chop.

········

Tian Wei came to the palace again, this time it was not him who came but Emperor Jing summoned him, he walked in cautiously, Emperor Jing saw him coming, and said in a tired voice: "Okay, excuse me!" It's all your own family, so you don't need to be so polite. ”

Although Emperor Jing said so, Tian Wei still finished saluting in a proper manner, and then stood beside him with his hands tied.

Emperor Jing was very tired and angry at this time, because the news came from Chao Cuo just now, Liu Wu, the king of Chu, refused to obey the edict and resisted to the death, he had already looked down on Liu Wu, but he didn't expect that this old boy still had the courage to fight against him, the Supreme Son of Heaven, he was really ignorant and fearless, didn't he know that this was in Chang'an? This is Jingdi's home field, right?

It can also be seen from this how arrogant the princes and kings have become?

So this made Emperor Jing's determination to cut the feudal domain even greater, because he didn't want the Han Dynasty to have a situation of "three families dividing the Jin" or "Tian clan generation Qi" after him.

Emperor Jing wanted to cut the domain, but there were still 200,000 military ministers on the border, so this hidden danger must be solved first, and then there was only one way to get close to the Huns.

As mentioned above, the only suitable candidate for the Han family is Princess Nangong, but as a father, who is willing to push his daughter into the fire pit?

Emperor Jing is in a dilemma, and Emperor Jing at this time is also a little envious of those faint monarchs in his history, because they are carefree and do nonsense, as long as I am happy, I can do anything.

Perhaps the line between Ming Jun and Duan Jun is above whether he can "deny himself", that's all, this is Emperor Jing's idea.

I was a little cranky again, Emperor Jing thought in his heart.

"Tian Wei, do you know what I mean by letting you come here?" Emperor Jing let go of these chaotic thoughts, and then said.
