Chang'an City, Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.

The two old ministers sat around and sighed.

"What's going on in this world? Is this still the world that Gaozu has beaten down? Lu Lu can actually be a general, and now all the military power has been taken away by this kid, Lao Chen, tell me, what else can I do as a captain? ”

Taiwei Zhou Bo said with a look of indignation.

Chen Ping, Prime Minister of Zuo, said with a smile: "You old guy, are you still not satisfied with someone to help you share your worries?" Why don't you take care of some of the government affairs for me? ”

"Haha, just spare me, the old man doesn't know a few big words. However, Lao Chen, this Lu family will occupy both the inside and the outside, will there still be a place for us in the future? Zhou Bo asked.

Chen Ping smiled: "You old guy, you are always worried about uselessness. I went to see the Empress Dowager Gao two days ago, her body and bones are no longer good, how many years do you think she can live? As soon as she falls, can the Lu family still turn the sky? When the time comes, it will naturally be a good time to liquidate, and the Lu family will not be able to resist the Liu family after all. ”

"Really?" Zhou Bo hurriedly asked.

Chen Ping glanced at him and said, "Can this still be fake?" The old man has lived in vain for decades? Can you see it? ”

Zhou Bo smiled: "Haha, that's good, hey, the old man is really worried that he won't be able to explain to Gaozu if he dies in the future, but fortunately, the old witch died in front, and the old man still has a chance to save the Liu family." ”

As he was talking, a young man suddenly broke in, and behind him, several guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion were chasing after him in a hurry.

But the young man ran fast and soon came to Zhou Bo and Chen Ping.

"Nephew Liu Heng, I've seen Uncle Zhou, I've seen Uncle Chen!" The young man gave Zhou Bo and Chen a parallel salute very respectfully.

The young man who came was naturally Mingjian.

"Liu Heng? Acting for the king! Chen Ping hurriedly stood up, and Zhou Bo quickly reacted and stood up to return the salute.

Chen Ping immediately shouted to the guards: "Go down, watch carefully, no one is allowed to come in!" ”

"Prime Minister, this, this is really not a small ........" the head of the guard was still explaining something.

Chen Ping glared and motioned for them to hurry down.

The guards hurried away.

Chen Ping smiled at this time: "How can the acting king have time to come and see the old minister?" Sit sit, sit, sit! ”

Ming Jian said: "The little nephew entered Beijing this time, but I remembered that the two uncles worked hard and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, so I came to visit the two uncles first, and also brought the special products of the country to the two uncles. These two jars of Han wine were given to the two uncles to warm their bodies. ”

After speaking, he put the two jars of Han wine on the table, and then sat down.

Chen Ping and Zhou Bo's eyes lit up, the domestic Han wine, that is an absolute wine, Chang'an City also sells it, but the price is very expensive, a jar is about equivalent to a pound of wine in modern society, that will be sold for 1000 yuan, although the two of them are in high power, but they are reluctant to drink such wine every day.

Zhou Bo immediately grabbed a jar and said with a smile: "The acting king is really bold, the old minister is just like this, the acting king, the old minister thanked him first." ”

After saying that, he immediately opened the lid, couldn't wait to sniff it, and then immediately took a sip.

"Wow wow, good wine, good wine! Lao Chen, you should also hurry up and try it. Zhou Bo said.

Chen Ping's eyes rolled, and he took advantage of the situation to pick up the wine jar in Zhou Bo's hand.

Zhou Bo just wanted to hand it out, but he immediately reacted, pointed to the other altar on the table and said: "Old guy, you are really slippery, the old man almost fell for you, and the king sent two altars, where is your altar." ”

Chen Ping pretended to be angry and said: "You old guy, you are so slammed on the door, you are all here today, can you still take it back?" While the king is here, let's get drunk today. Someone! ”

The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion soon ran in, and Chen Ping explained that he was going to write meat dishes immediately.

Taking advantage of this moment, Ming Jian said: "Uncle Chen, Uncle Zhou, and the little nephew entered Beijing this time, I don't know what instructions the Empress Dowager Gao has?" Do you know a thing or two about the two uncles? ”

Chen Ping and Zhou Bo glanced at each other, and Chen Ping said: "Acting king, some people are red-eyed, your dynasty has become the richest vassal state in the Han Dynasty in just twelve years, and the national strength is so strong that even the Huns have run away." Hey, the old minister pondered, Empress Dowager Gao is going to move a nest for you, now the poorest is Yan Kingdom, Empress Dowager Gao will definitely let you go to Yan Kingdom, as for your representative country, it is estimated that it will be given to a Empress Dowager Gao's mother's family. ”

Zhou Bo said indignantly: "Empress Dowager Gao is really vicious, why did she arrange for the king to go to Yan Kingdom?" The acting king is eloquent, and he has to move to the Yan country to suffer the crime, old fellow, when we go to the court tomorrow, we will play together to oppose the old witch's decision. ”

Chen Ping sighed, thinking to himself that Zhou Bo was really a reckless man this time, who could change what Lu Pheasant had decided?

"What do you sigh for? Okay, give me a happy word, if you're afraid, you'll be your shrinking turtle, and the old man will be alone! Zhou Bo snorted dissatisfiedly and said.

Chen Ping was just about to refute, but Ming Jian interjected and said, "Uncle Zhou, you have misunderstood Uncle Chen." Actually, it doesn't matter where you go, in the world of this big man, the little nephew can live in peace, but I'm just worried, this goes to Yan Kingdom, in case someone is secret, hey, thinking of the third brother, the fifth brother, the sixth brother and the eighth brother, the little nephew is still sad in his heart. ”

Zhou Bo's temper immediately came up, and he immediately jumped up and said, "She dares!" The blood of the first emperor is now left with the king and the king of Huainan, and the old witch dares to murder the king again, so the old man will fight for his life and want her to be buried with her! ”

Chen Ping glared at Zhou Bo and said, "What are you anxious about?" Isn't that still inconclusive? Acting king, the old minister thinks that you must not go to Yan Kingdom, although the old minister believes in the ability of the acting king, but the Empress Dowager Gao will definitely give you a constraint this time, and will not let you develop so freely in the Dai Kingdom. The old man wants to think of a way, but it really can't work, so it's good for you to go to Liang Guo. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, go to Liang Kingdom, with our old ministers watching, we can't let the acting king suffer no matter what." Zhou Bo immediately agreed.

Ming Jian wiped his tears and said, "Two uncles, little nephew, thank you for your kindness." It's just that the little nephew thought to himself, the two uncles are the backbone of the big man, why can't they think about it in a different direction? Why should we go along with it? Empress Dowager Gao brutalized my Liu family's children, if Gao Zu knows under the spring, I don't know how sad to be, two uncles, little nephew will not hide it from you, this time I came to Chang'an City, the little nephew plans to come to a fish to die and break the net, and fight with the Empress Dowager Gao! ”

Chen Ping was taken aback, many people know the temperament of the acting king, that is a good old man, although he has no interaction after going to the acting country, he has not heard that the acting king has disobeyed the will of the imperial court.

Now that he suddenly heard Ming Jian say this, could Chen Ping not be surprised?

Zhou Bo was very happy, he laughed and said: "The acting king is right, I, Zhou Bo, have followed Gaozu from Pei County to raise troops, and how much bloodshed have I experienced?" Now that I'm suffering at the hands of a woman, am I at a loss? Old guy, the two of us swore in front of Gaozu that we would protect the Liu family no matter what, you say, what do you think of the proposal of the acting king? ”

At this time, the meals came up, mainly lamb, fish and some flatbread.

Chen Ping hurriedly said: "Acting king, come and come, try the craftsmanship of the old minister's cook, let's talk while eating." ”

Ming Jian was not polite, grabbed a leg of mutton and gnawed it.

The three of them ate and drank, and after a while, Chen Ping asked, "Acting King, the old minister wants to know, what is your plan?" ”

Ming Jian wiped his mouth and said: "Uncle Chen, the little nephew knows what you are worried about, the number of troops in the imperial court is more than 200,000, if it is forced, although the army of the country is strong, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation, and the final loss is still the national defense force of our Han Dynasty." Therefore, the little nephew plans to outwit it, but it is not a secret, the little nephew buried 200 ambush soldiers in Chang'an City as early as ten years ago, and these 200 people are basically in key positions now, as long as the little nephew gives an order, they can cut off the connection between the palace and the outside at any time. However, the most important thing is how to make the smooth transition of the imperial army, and the little nephew wants to ask the two uncles to help. ”

Chen Ping and Zhou Bo were taken aback, they started planning ten years ago, is this still the honest acting king?

"This, Acting King, now that the northern and southern armies are under the control of the Lu family, and the tiger talisman is also in the army, it is not easy to take it. It is very difficult to keep the imperial army still. Zhou Bo said.

Chen Ping said: "If you want to succeed, you have to get the tiger talisman, Lao Zhou, Ji Zhou, who is in charge of the tiger talisman, is a person loyal to the Han Dynasty and your old subordinate, if you can envelop him, it would be good." However, if this is acted, then you have to wipe out all Zhulu, acting king, are you really ready to decide? ”

"Uncle Chen, if you want the Han world to develop and grow, you must eradicate Zhu Lu, among the vassal states, the Liu clan will definitely agree with the decision of the little nephew, so the little nephew has already sent someone to contact the vassal states, once there is an incident, all the Lu clansmen in their country will be killed, as for the vassal states surnamed Lu, it is not a problem to attack them in groups when the time comes. The little nephew has ordered his general Zhang Wu, if something happens, let him lead the troops to Tongguan, and when the time comes, if they can be let in, it will not be a problem for the southern army and the northern army. As for the palace guards, the brocade guards under the little nephew were enough to clean them up. As long as the rule of the Empress Dowager Gao is overthrown, even if the little nephew becomes the king of Yan at that time, he will be happy. ”

Ming Jian said.

Chen Ping nodded and said, "The acting king is thoughtful, and the old minister admires it." The old minister was not willing to be driven by the Empress Dowager Gao, but he was really worried that he would not be able to fight the Empress Dowager Gao and let the acting king die. In this way, when the old minister thinks about it again, when he goes to the court tomorrow, the acting king should give the edict of the empress dowager Gao, and the old minister will give the acting king an answer after the next dynasty. ”

Zhou Bo said dissatisfiedly: "You old guy just has a lot of crooked intestines. ”
