Chapter 247: Changing the Yuan and Rebelling
"Giggles!"
In the General's Mansion, five older radish heads were playing, and three younger radishes were babbling and following behind.
Cai Yan, Mi Xiu, Diao Chan, Wu Amaranth and many nurses watched with a smile. And the smile on his face is the one with the most bang on his face, none other than Zhang Shuang.
It's been thirteen years now.
It has been more than five years since Zhang Shuang ascended the throne as the king of Qi, and he has not only called for wind and rain politically, but also made a lot of money in terms of heirs.
Coupled with the two sons born to Empress Dowager He, Zhang Shuang now has twelve princes, the lord of Weng.
"Watching my children play, I felt a little heavier on my shoulders. After all, they are my sons and daughters, and they will face the bloodthirsty eyes of those loyal ministers of the Han family and local princes at any time. Looking at the children, Zhang Shuang said secretly in his heart.
After playing with the children, Zhang Shuang said goodbye to his wife and concubine and came to the study.
"Father."
As soon as he came to the study, he saw Zhang Bi bowing to him.
Fifteen-year-old Zhang Bi looks very similar to Zhang Shuang, handsome and slender. Moreover, because of Cai Yan's appearance, he is more handsome.
Although he is only fifteen years old, under the teaching of Zhang Shuang and Cai Yan, Zhang Bi is already like an adult, with firm and bright eyes and a graceful and luxurious bearing.
Whether it is in the eyes of Zhang Shuang or in the eyes of his subordinates, Zhang Bi is a qualified heir, the crown prince of Qi.
"How is Han Feizi learning?" Zhang Shuang looked at Zhang Bi with a smile, with a pride in his eyebrows, and then asked.
"Back to my father, it's already rough." Zhang Bi leaned over and said. Zhang Bi also admires Zhang Shuang very much in his heart, it is the man in front of him who calms down the turmoil in the world and allows their brothers and sisters to have such a comfortable environment.
"It's good to be rough, after all, you are not a doctor of intensive study, but the crown prince of my Qi. He is the one who will eventually inherit the power in my hands. Zhang Shuang said with a smile.
According to etiquette, the princes and kings called themselves widows.
But Zhang Shuang has never been able to change it, because he feels that he is not alone.
"No."
Zhang Bi promised. Forthwith. Zhang Shuang asked Zhang Bi some more academic things, Zhang Bi answered very decently, and Zhang Shuang was very satisfied. said: "Tomorrow I will show you as a general with five senses, and you will learn to govern the country." ”
"No."
Zhang Bi promised.
"Father!" That's when it happened. A crisp laugh rang out. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shuang was hugged. I also felt the person behind me rubbing against me.
"My little padded jacket is back." Zhang Shuang had a smile on his face, turned his head and shaved Zhang Bi's little face affectionately. At the age of fourteen, she is already very smart.
According to the customs of this era, she can already marry and have children. But Zhang Shuang felt sorry for his daughter. I plan to wait until she is ten ** years old and enjoys the innocent romance before allowing people.
"I hunted a lot of prey, deer and eagles." Zhang Bi's face was flushed and he was very excited.
"Okay, good, eat the prey that my daughter hunted at night." Zhang Shuang said with a smile.
"Giggles." Zhang Bi chuckled.
It was only that the atmosphere was soon broken, and the judge hurriedly walked in from outside. As he gets older, he has more and more of a strong majesty.
He is now the prime minister of the Qi Kingdom. The long history of the Han general is among Zhang Shuang's subordinates, second only to Shangshu Ling Chen Palace.
"I'm in such a hurry, what's the matter?" Zhang Shuang opened his mouth and asked.
"When I returned to the king, the minister received the news. Yuan Shao ascended the throne in Yecheng and proclaimed himself King of Zhao! Cao Cao ascended the throne in Dongcheng and proclaimed himself King of Wei. Liu Bei ascended the throne in Xiangyang and proclaimed himself King of Chu. Then show off the soldiers and honor each other. ”
Said the judge.
"This is the loyal minister of the Han family." Zhang Shuang's face showed a sneer, but there were not many surprises in his heart. People are ambitious. Not to mention Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao.
What's more, he is now the king of Qi, in order to gain fame to compete with him. Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao must achieve equal status.
And as time passed, the position of the trio became more and more consolidated. The military forces under his command are also becoming more and more plump, and their respective soldiers and horses are at least more than 300,000.
Ambition breeds, and it is not impossible to be king.
"Arrange your own time. The father entered the palace first to see the Son of Heaven. Zhang Shuang said to Zhang Bi, Zhang Bi.
"No." The sons and daughters also obediently agreed. Immediately, Zhang Shuang found Dian Wei and ordered the tiger to go to the palace.
The Son of Heaven ascended the throne in the first year of the Great Cause, and this year has been thirteen years, and the age is approaching the age of establishment. However, there was the coercion of the general King Qi outside, and the suppression of the queen mother in the court, and the weak character was formed.
Therefore, after Zhang Shuang entered the palace, he only saw the Empress Dowager He.
"Your Majesty!"
In the palace, Empress Dowager He knew that Zhang Shuang was coming, so she retired the eunuchs and palace maids. dressed up and led a pair of sons to see Zhang Shuang.
"You're welcome." Zhang Shuang said.
After another five years, the Queen Mother did not reduce her beauty, but because she was pampered, she tried her best to be stable and pampered, and she worked hard to maintain it. It looks like a young woman in her twenties and thirties has grown in reverse.
"Father!"
Five-year-old Zhang Feng and three-year-old Zhang Fei broke free from the hands of the Queen Mother and threw themselves into Zhang Shuang's arms.
"Good son." Zhang Shuang picked them up one by one and kissed them on the face, causing them to giggle. At present, the relationship between Zhang Shuang and Empress Dowager He has not been publicized.
But the two of them are no longer secretive, and these two sons Zhang Shuang claimed to be born to concubines and gave them to the Queen Mother to relieve boredom.
Everyone in the world has guessed the roughly, but no one dares to chew the root of their tongue.
After teasing the two sons, Zhang Shuang glanced at the Empress Dowager He, and the Empress Dowager He willingly handed over her sons to the palace maids and entered the hall with Zhang Shuang.
"It's rare that you're not in a monkey's hurry, but what happened?" Empress Dowager He thought that Zhang Shuang was angry and wanted to go with her, but after not seeing Zhang Shuang's actions for a long time, she knew that she was not here to have fun today.
"Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao are each kings." Zhang Shuang said lightly.
"These rebels and thieves!" Empress Dowager He was stunned and shouted a crusade.
Zhang Shuang looked at it and thought it was very interesting, so he pinched the face of Empress Dowager He Shui Ling, and teased: "Is your scolding position the queen mother of the Han family, or my princess?" ”
"Of course, the concubine is the princess of the king." Empress Dowager He suddenly looked like silk, and then pretended to kneel down towards Zhang Shuang.
"Alright, alright, stop making trouble." Zhang Shuang smiled and stopped Empress Dowager He.
After laughing for a while, and after mediating the atmosphere, Empress Dowager He pulled her hair and said, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" ”
"Of course it's a crusade!" Zhang Shuang shrugged his shoulders, then stood up and said: "I am in Jiangzhou, and Hanzhong has arranged two armies of Li Ru and Fa Zheng, with more than 100,000 people. In Luoyang, there were 170,000 horse infantry troops. Wancheng, and the state, the tiger prison, and more than ten soldiers and horses. Add up to three or four hundred thousand soldiers who can fight, and the soldiers are strong and strong. Now it has been stable for five years, and the prefectures and counties of Yizhou, Liangzhou, and Haizhou are all smooth and rainy, and the barns are abundant. If you don't fight now, when will you wait? ”
"I think we should wait." Empress Dowager He pulled her hair and said softly.
"Wait for ???" Zhang Shuang said a little strangely. Since this woman followed him, she rarely expressed her opinion on major matters, tried her best to hide herself, and today was the first time she had spoken her opinion. But Zhang Shuang not only did not despise it, but attached great importance to it. Because he knows that this woman is not simple.
"Tell me about it." Zhang Shuang asked further.
"Just like the king said, you occupy Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Sili, Yizhou, with a population of more than 10 million, and the country is rich and the people are strong. It is stronger than the national strength of the Qin State back then. But Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei are also the choice of the moment. Under their rule, their states of Chu, Wei, and Zhao were all strong in the Kwantung region during the Warring States period. In such a situation, although you are a genius, you may not be their opponent. Empress Dowager He said.
"If it comes to wisdom and martial arts, I may not be comparable to them, I admit that." Zhang Shuang nodded dryly and said. Then he said: "But the elite soldiers under my command, as well as the overall force, are definitely stronger than them." I am sure that I will destroy them. ”
"But if you're not afraid of whatever, you're afraid of 10,000." Empress Dowager He shook her head, softly stretched out her hand and stroked Zhang Shuang's face, and said, "Although you have been fighting the world for more than ten years, you are only in your thirties. And Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others are already in their forties. Although I don't know their physical condition, I know your physical condition, and you can be described as majestic as an ox five times a night. You'll definitely have forty more years to live, but they don't know. ”
Speaking of the last sentence, Empress Dowager He's eyes are like silk.
"I see." Zhang Shuang touched his chin, "This is a good way to win." As long as I hold the Tiger Prison Pass and the Hukou Pass, Wancheng will be able to contain the offensive of the three of them. Waiting for the time to pass, the three of them slowly grew old. Moreover, even if I die earlier than them, I dare not say anything else, my son must be stronger than Yuan Shao's son. ”
Originally, Zhang Shuang planned to say that he was better than Yuan Shao and Liu Bei's son, but when he thought about it, Liu Bei was not even a Gan wife now, and his son was not called Liu Chan.
And he did.
In short, Zhang Shuang does have the upper hand in the long run.
"Then wait. Leave the affairs of the world to the prince to solve. Empress Dowager He gently rested her head on Zhang Shuang's chest, exactly like his wife.
"But that's what you women think. You are all thinking about comfort, waiting for the time to pass. But we men wanted to make a meritorious career and personally beheaded Cao Cao and others, how happy and refreshing. Besides, longevity changes. Although we thought it well, it would be unpredictable not to take the opportunity to kill the three of them. Zhang Shuang shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty." Empress Dowager He glanced at Zhang Shuang and said angrily.
"Don't be angry. Go and give the edict. Zhang Shuang smiled and pinched Empress Dowager He's round buttocks and said with a smile.
"What edict?" Empress Dowager He was stunned.
"Change next year to the first year of the rebellion, and I will send three or four hundred thousand troops to crusade against the three kings." Zhang Shuang said categorically. (To be continued.) )
