Chapter 73: Zhou Bo's Last Life
Zhou Bo quickly packed his bags and made a posture that he didn't want to stay longer for a day.
Zhou Bo's actions made his colleagues feel at a loss for a while, this old man not only has the power of the world, Liu Heng has his hand on the horse, who would have thought that he would be so obedient, the emperor's expulsion order came down, and he didn't even let out a fart, so he obediently went back to pack, which is not like the usual Lord Zhou.
The prime minister has the right to refute the seal, and if Lao Zhou, the decree issued by your emperor, thinks it is inappropriate or inappropriate, he can not follow the edict and give the decree back.
However, Zhou Bo did not.
Zhou Bo has the problem of being arrogant, but that is the habit of being a big man mixed with Liu Bang, he will shout in front of hundreds of officials, but if he faces the emperor, Zhou Bo still doesn't have the guts.
He left Chang'an as fast as he could, which was described by a more appropriate verb, called escape.
Zhou Bo's not-so-keen sense of smell told him that Liu Heng didn't trust him, and he was even more uneasy, he found out last time and took the initiative to quit his job, and then as soon as Chen Ping died, Liu Heng called him back again. The duties and powers are the same, but the life is more uneasy and uneasy, like walking on thin ice. Zhou Bo made up his mind this time, instead of trembling every day, it was better to leave Chang'an City, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible.
Now Zhou Bo, he really admires Chen Ping. Prime Minister, under one person, above 10,000 people, is very beautiful, but it is not a job that anyone can do.
"It's time to go, so be it!" Zhou Bo looked at the towering Chang'an City Tower without worry, and did not turn his head back to beat his horse and galloped towards the fiefdom of Jiangxian County, if it was in the past, he would definitely have to point out the rivers and mountains along the way, and now Zhou Bo has no intention of watching the scenery along the way, but the scenes of the battlefield of the year have emerged in his mind, what a pride and how thrilling it is?
Now, although the title is still there, the fief is still there, but it is also like half a lost dog, and there are secret agents and scouts monitoring the itinerary from time to time along the way, where is it like a general who commands a million-strong division?
Time, momentum, and fate!
Zhou Bo's fiefdom Jiangxian County, in the east of present-day Houma City, Shanxi, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, out of the ruins of Hanguguan Pass to the west, arrived in today's Tongguan County, then crossed the Yellow River to the north, went straight to Jiangxian County.
Zhou Bo returned to the Jiangxian mansion non-stop, and before his ass was hot, someone came to greet him.
The person who came was Jibu of Hedong County, Jiangxian County belonged to Hedong County, and the old prime minister returned to the fiefdom, and the magistrate did not dare to slack off.
However, Zhou Bo was tired on the way back, and he was unhappy along the way, plus he had always looked down on Ji Bu as a person, although the person in front of him was famous all over the world, but in Zhou Bo's eyes, he was just a general who betrayed his lord and sought glory, so Zhou Bo's face was not good-looking, and there was no lack of contempt in his words.
Ji Bu didn't expect kindness to be exchanged for the donkey's liver and lungs, and the anger in his heart was suddenly inconvenient, and the old man Zhou had a reckless personality, and he might be impulsive and might want to do it. Ji Bu's patience only inspired Zhou Bo's arrogance even more.
As the saying goes, the word forbearance is a knife.
When Ji Bu left the Zhou Mansion in a huff, he quietly gave orders to the people around him and stared at Old Man Zhou.
The errand officer of Hedong County was really loyal to his duty, and he went to the Zhou Mansion every once in a while to take care of it, and his eyes were rolling around when he took care of him, but his face was full of smiles.
No matter how stupid Zhou Bo is, he can also see the clues, one by one, the servants are like thieves, either seeking money or killing people. Feeling uneasy, he decided to take precautions. Zhou Bo sent people to the local yamen to keep an eye on him, and once Ji Bu went out on patrol, the people who were watching him sent the news back to him, and Zhou Bo immediately put on armor and mobilized all the people in the palace to take their weapons and prepare for battle.
And so on and so forth.
It turns out that Zhou Bo is tossing himself blindly. However, the matter soon reached the ears of Jib.
Ji Bu felt angry and funny for a while, although he didn't have a good impression of Zhou Bo, but it hadn't reached the point of deep hatred, he was embarrassed when he first came to visit, but he didn't plan to retaliate, I Ji Bu wouldn't be so small-bellied. At the beginning, he was just worried about Zhou Bo's grievances and made bad moves, so he ordered the officials to guard against it. Old man Zhou, don't you love to toss? The old man will also accompany you to toss. Besides, if the imperial court learns about this, can it be difficult to guarantee that my Hedong County will not be effective in protecting the princes?
After thinking for a long time, Jibu called the shogunate's subordinates and whispered carefully.
A few days later, Liu Heng's desk received an impeachment of Zhou Bo from the Jiangxian officials, who accused Zhou Bo of holding a halberd and armor in the mansion with bad intentions.
Liu Heng looked at it once, and suddenly opened his eyes, and in a fit of anger, he threw Song Shu to the ground fiercely, and scolded in his mouth: "This is the old minister!" ”
The waiter next to him was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and forgot to pick up the slip on the ground. Liu Heng was extremely angry, a founding father, a powerful minister relied on by Gaozu, would rebel because of the dismissal. originally expected him to be an example for the princes of the world, but now it seems that it is too exalting him. Let Zhou Bo be dismissed from the official position and return to the fiefdom is my edict from Liu Heng, Zhou Bo rebelled, and others would inevitably give me Liu Heng the hat of a hero who forced me to rebel.
Liu Heng decided to strike preemptively and immediately issued a secret edict to the Tingwei Mansion.
In order to block the news, the Tingwei Mansion transferred the heavy responsibility of arresting people to Chang'an Ling, and Chang'an Ling took the armor to Jiangxian County in the starry night, and when he arrived at Zhou Bo's mansion, he surrounded Zhou Mansion layer by layer, and tied up Zhou Bo with lightning speed, Zhou Bo was blindfolded and taken to Chang'an before he understood what was going on.
A generation of celebrities who once surprised the battlefield were thrown into Chang'an Prison, and he did not get more care because of his previous merits and titles, on the contrary, under the hint of the flattering signal, Zhou Bo was insulted by the prison officials. Zhou Bo's was under the direct care of Wu Gong, the court commander. The major case of rebellion was supposed to be tried by Tingwei himself, but in order to block the news, he only sent Chang'an Ling to interrogate Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo did not say a word during the interrogation, Chang'an Ling had no choice but to give the jailer an intriguing hint, and the jailer naturally understood that most of the ****** like this died in life, so naturally he couldn't let go of a good human flesh sandbag, and it should be a very pleasant thing to be able to beat up the meritorious and powerful. The jailer beat Zhou Bo according to him, knocked him unconscious and threw him into the prison.
In the prison, Zhou Bo felt deeply helpless for the first time, in the past, these people had to crawl on his feet, how could he have thought that once he became a guilty body, he would not even have a full meal. For the first time, he felt a deep fear, and for the first time he fell into an inner tangle.
If Gao Zu is here, can he do this to me? If Empress Lu is here, can you do this to me? Isn't this piece of country all our old brothers and brothers fighting together, if I am so helpless and helpless?
Wait! Believe in justice in people's hearts!
However, what Zhou Bo was waiting for was only a long torment.
Zhou Bo finally chose a way, and what he disdained to do in the past was this kind of thing - bribery.
He ordered his family to bring a thousand gold and put it in front of the jailer, who was a little embarrassed at first, but Zhou Bo gave him a reassurance.
I'll write you a note, it's the princess!
When the jailer heard this, he nodded again and again, and happily accepted the note engraved by Zhu Pen, "Taking the princess as a witness". With this note, the jailer had nothing to scruple about, he knew that Zhou Bo's eldest son, Zhou Shengzhi, was engaged to Liu Heng's daughter, although the princess was only six years old at this time.
No matter how ruthless the emperor is, he can't cut his daughter.
"Okay, good," the jailer smiled as he received the golden gold, "If you have any other orders, the little one will definitely help you!" ”
Zhou Bo sighed heavily and said, "Please go to General Bo Zhao, just say that this marquis is willing to give him the fief and wealth rewarded by the emperor today!" ”
Bo Zhao is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Bo, and Zhou Bo is looking for him to do activities, so he is looking for the right person. The jailer brought Zhou Bo's words to Bo Zhao.
Bo Zhao learned that there was such a big advantage to take advantage of, so naturally there was no reason to let it go, and he could make Zhou Bo owe him a favor, so why not. He tidied up his clothes and immediately ran to Changle Palace to find the Empress Dowager Bo and told the Empress Dowager Bo about Zhou Bo.
Empress Dowager Bo was also very surprised when she heard this, she had recently lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she turned a deaf ear to the things outside the palace, and said that she couldn't help it, and it seemed that the emperor was deliberately hiding it from herself.
Empress Dowager Bo personally went to Weiyang Palace, and saw that Liu Heng was reviewing the recital, she habitually slowed her steps, and the chamberlain was about to report, she waved her hand and signaled not to be polite. It wasn't until he walked up to Liu Heng that Liu Heng noticed the figure of the Empress Dowager Bo. He dropped the official document in his hand and bowed to his mother. Suddenly, I looked up and found that my mother had a serious face, without the smile and kindness she used to have.
"How could the queen mother come to Weiyang Palace in person?"
Empress Dowager Bo sighed heavily and said, "It's not that you're angry!" ”
Liu Heng chuckled in his heart, and immediately knelt down and said, "Child, if you are angry with the queen mother, please punish the queen mother!" ”
Empress Dowager Bo's heart was hot, and she hurriedly helped Liu Heng up and said, "Son, the mourning family is here for the affairs of the Marquis of Jiang!" What crime did the Marquis commit? ”
"Plot... Anti...! Liu Heng said hesitantly.
"Is there any evidence?"
"Mother, please see, this is a note from the county order of Jiangxian County!"
Empress Dowager Bo took the song, squinted her eyes through the oil lamp and looked at it, and after reading it, she said earnestly: "Heng'er, this is clearly chasing the wind and catching shadows, making something out of nothing." Heng'er, don't forget, you and my mother and son can gain a foothold in Chang'an City today, but thanks to the meritorious deeds of a group of veterans such as the Marquis of Jiang, you can't be polite to the important ministers and elders! ”
Liu Heng quietly listened to the teachings of the queen mother.
"Furthermore, if the Marquis really wants to rebel, why didn't he rebel when he commanded the Northern Army, but he had to rebel when he lived in a small county?"
Liu Heng was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect what the queen mother said, but he still couldn't accept Zhou Bo's state of being a hero everywhere.
"Heng'er, for the veteran heroes, we must respect and protect them, the state-owned old ministers have the cornerstone, don't chill the hearts of the heroes!"
Liu Heng listened to his mother's earnest teachings, thought about it, and was already full of remorse, he bowed deeply to his mother and said, "The child should be taught!" ”
As soon as Empress Dowager Bo left Weiyang Palace, Liu Heng ordered the chamberlain to go to Chang'an Prison to release Zhou Bo, in order not to arouse Zhou Bodi's emotions, he also brought a sentence by the way, I'm sorry Jianghou, I didn't figure out your business before, but now I have figured it out.
One sentence poured out the fire that Zhou Bo wanted to appeal to the Queen Mother and make a big noise.
He glanced back at the Chang'an Prison that he would never forget when he died, and his heart was filled with infinite emotion, Lao Tzu commanded millions of male soldiers back then, but in the end, even a jailer was helpless!
Zhou Bo suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment. He has finally realized why Zhang Liang had to stay away from the center of power back then.
Later, the poet immortal Li Bai had a sentence that best described Zhou Bo's mood at this moment: Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can my generation be a Penggao person.
Emperor Wen's four-year imprisonment finally made Zhou Bo give up his desire and pursuit of power, but the rest of his life proved in another way that he was a well-deserved famous general of the Han Dynasty.
Because under his education, his son inherited his bloodline and the way of managing and using soldiers, and eventually became another famous general who shook the past and the present.
In the eleventh year of Emperor Wen, Zhou Bo went to see his old friends with a smile, and Liu Heng mourned his exploits and let his second son inherit his title and property. This person's name is Zhou Yafu, and he is given a seal.
Of course, in the era of Emperor Wen, Zhou Yafu was still silently training, and he was just a sharp blade in the scabbard, waiting for his god of destiny to favor him.
Next, the person we want to introduce, although he is not as famous as Zhou Yafu, but if he is an outstanding contributor to the prosperous era of Wenjing, the founder, his name must not be missing, he is regarded as the embodiment of fairness and justice, one of the most famous justices of the Han Dynasty, this person's surname is Zhang, his name is Shizhi, and his name is Ji.
