Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 857 The Sky of Pingcheng

On behalf of the country, Pingcheng.

Liu Bo sat on the upper seat blankly, looked at the many letters in front of him, and then raised his head to look at the embroidered clothes in front of him.

The letter arrived in the morning, and the embroidered clothes arrived at noon.

Liu Bo felt that if he didn't explain again, then the prison car would have to sit at night.

Even if the embroidered clothes faced the emperor's own son, they couldn't say how polite they were. They recorded those letters in front of him and searched for the past letters of the king. Looking very unhappy.The behavior of the so-called emperor humiliating his ministers to death, embroidering clothes, vaguely conveys distrust of the king, and has a certain meaning of questioning his collusion with others.

Liu Bo sat aside, just calmly watching them flip through.

After completing the recording of these letters, the leader of the embroidered clothes calmly handed the letters back to Dai Wang.

"Your Majesty, if there is any disrespect, I hope you will forgive these rotten Confucians, who are so hateful that they want to conspire with Your Majesty."

Xiuyi's words were polite, but he squinted his eyes, and everyone seemed to be staring at the prisoner. Han Anguo and others thought he was very offensive. Seeing that his ministers were about to come forward, Liu Bo shook his head and stopped them .

"However, does Your Majesty know why they want to contact you?"

Liu Bo stood up slowly, walked in front of Xiuyi, lowered his head, "I don't know."

Liu Bo's words were also very polite, but the oppressive feeling made Xiu Yi take a few steps back quietly, and his expression became a little unnatural, "Well, we know, we disturbed the king."

The embroidered clothes left one after another, leaving only a mess in the inner room.

Han Anguo finally couldn't bear it any longer, and said angrily, "This person is very rude!"

"It's okay. They deal with some sinners all year round. This is a perennial habit."

Liu Bo motioned everyone to sit down, then smiled wryly and picked up the letter in his hand, "This is really a disaster without reason."

"What do these people mean? My elder brother is not good at doing things, and let me take charge of the overall situation? Is this for me to conspire against them?"

Han Anguo said calmly: "These Confucian scholars are completely crazy. Over the past few years, Huang Lao has suppressed them more and more. I know that they will definitely do something big, but I never thought that they could do such a big thing." matter."

"Your Majesty, you must write a letter as soon as possible, and get rid of any connection with this matter."

"Well, it's impossible for me to conspire against them. Father knows this."

"Your Majesty knows it, but you know it. You still have to write a letter. In addition, the crown prince is too. Your Majesty can't ignore this matter."

Han Anguo said, and then said: "And you can't write it on behalf of the king, you must write it yourself."

"If necessary, you have to go to Chang'an in person."

Liu Bo nodded, agreeing with what he said.

Although Ju Meng didn't understand, he was still convinced by Han Anguo. He scratched his head and scolded: "These cynics really don't care about the timing when they make troubles. I don't know how much they will delay."

Everyone couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

These days, the ministers of the Dai State are extremely busy. The results of Luo Zuo's exploration in the Dai State have directly changed the original position of the Dai State. , here is also to strengthen the military equipment and build checkpoints as the main task. From the prime minister to the local officials, all the achievements are related to military affairs, but since Liu Bo came, the situation has become different.

Liu Bo was a king who valued people's livelihood, and Luo Zuo's exploration provided the premise for the transformation of the country. Liu Bo began to work hard to promote many industries in the country, based on coal, to strengthen the country's commerce and industry, and at the same time to cooperate with neighboring countries. Strengthening trade exchanges, exchanging what is needed, and uniting as one, the country has entered a stage of rapid development, especially in this year's cold winter, and the demand for coal in the country has surged. At this critical time, I suddenly encountered such a fool. The ministers of the country felt indescribably aggrieved.

That is to say, Liu Bo is generous, otherwise he would have gotten up and scolded the public a long time ago.

He looked to the left and right seriously, and ordered: "You can't delay the affairs of the country because of this matter. People from Zhao State and Xia State have to be received attentively. I'll contact the temple first."

After the two left, Liu Bo took out the paper, dipped it in ink, hesitated for a moment, and then began to write.

"Now that I know Lu Ru's letter, my brother is very frightened"

After writing a sentence, Liu Bo couldn't help but shook his head and wrote again:
"My foolish brother asks my brother Gongan, there are traitors in the dynasty, trying to drive apart."

He was taken aback for another moment, still feeling something was wrong, and rewrote it again.

"Brother!! I feel wronged!"

After Liu Bo wrote the first sentence, he nodded his head in satisfaction, hurriedly speeded up, and started writing quickly.

After finishing writing the letter to his eldest brother, he took out another piece of paper, and wrote the letter to his father like a cat.

"Father! I am wronged!!"

Just as the king was trying his best to write a letter to plead guilty, Han Anguo and Liu Buhai stood outside the door, looking at each other and looking at each other.

Liu Buhai cleared his throat, and acted like an old senior, "Anguo, you are a very good young man. In this year, I have seen your talent. You deserve to be Liang Cai! This old man is really Admiration! Ever since you came to the Dai Kingdom, the Dai Kingdom has been flourishing day by day. I see it in my eyes and I am delighted in my heart. With a young man like you coming to assist the King, what else can I worry about?"

Han Anguo listened to Liu Buhai's praise, but his face was extremely nervous. He hurriedly said, "How can it compare to you?"

"Liu Gong is an old minister who followed His Majesty. He started to follow him when His Majesty was still the King of Tang. He has achieved great military exploits and is invincible. In these years, it is because of you that Daiguo has achieved its current scale. Your Majesty treats you They all respect you very much and treat you as an elder. When we treat you, we get off the car and salute from a distance. We just bow our heads to listen to your teachings and treat you as our own teacher. You are the cornerstone of the country!"

Liu Buhai was taken aback, "Damn it, this young man can't be fooled!"

These young people now are not as innocent as they were back then, they can make their blood boil with just a few words, they are all cunning and cunning!

Liu Buhai smiled and took Han Anguo's hand, "Even so, I am already old, and the important things should be done by you young people after all. I know you can be reused!"

Han Anguo is also full of sincerity, "Lian Po is old, and I am still young and ignorant. I am afraid that something bad will happen, so I still have to trouble you."

Liu Buhai immediately stopped pretending, and shouted directly: "Just say whether you want to go or not!!"

The thing that made the two of them refuse in this way was not other things, but the matter of meeting the envoys of Xia Guo and Zhao Guo, mainly speaking, it was the matter of meeting the envoys of Zhao Guo.

This Zhao countryman is really impressive.

For the interests of all parties, Dai Guo must cooperate with Zhao Guo, and the relationship between each other must not be damaged, especially Zhao Wang, as the elder of Dai Wang, is even more so. With an inexplicable sense of superiority, and the envoys they sent were all so difficult to deal with, they always found trouble for the people on behalf of the country. Han Anguo suffered from being young at the beginning, and went to meet Zhao Guo's envoys three times in a row. Three times failed to negotiate.

In the end, it was Liu Bo himself who resolved these matters.

Things are difficult, and people are quite arrogant, always making trouble for the local people, really what kind of king there is what kind of ministers, Tang people are better than them, I don't know when, this errand to welcome the Zhao envoy came Dai Guo became a hard job, and the ministers avoided it.

"Liu Gong, I really can't go, have you forgotten? I went to meet them for the first time, but the envoy came in armor, saying that he wanted to show off Zhao Guo's iron, and he went to meet them for the second time. A chariot of five horses, said to send the king to meet them for the third time, the man fought with the envoy of the Yan State, and said that the king of Yan was a dog. I didn’t go for the fourth time. I heard that they let the cavalry clear the way. I almost rushed into the formation of Pingcheng defenders, I really dare not go again, Mr. Liu, I am really not good at dealing with people."

Han Anguo said aggrievedly.

Liu Buhai let out a long sigh, the young people nowadays don't know how to respect the elders at all, but there is no other way, let's go to meet them in person.

I think Liu Buhai has been on the battlefield for a long time, why haven't I seen it?
Isn't he the envoy of Zhao State?Could it be more vicious than the original Huns?
Of course, it's not a question of whether Zhao Guoren is vicious or not, he just has a kind of troublesome things in him, which makes it easy to break the defense.

Liu Buhai thought of a countermeasure in his heart. For the benefit of the country, no matter what the other party's attitude is, he must be patient. In addition, he must arrange soldiers in advance, strictly guard the surroundings, and no one is allowed to approach. As an envoy, if the other party acts presumptuously, he should not see it. If the other party speaks rudely, he will endure Liu Buhai and think about how to greet him in his heart, and he is probably prepared for everything.

As long as I prepare properly, ignore everything, and be patient with everything, what can Zhao people do? !

Thinking of this, the old general suddenly became full of confidence. These young juniors still can't do it. We still have to rely on people like ourselves to handle things. Let you see the strength of us veterans.

Zhao Guo's carriage was slowly driving towards Pingcheng. Liu Buhai had already made all the preparations and stood on the road, ready to meet these people.

This time, the Prime Minister of the country came to greet them in person, so can you worry about what they will cause?
I don't know why the king of Zhao appointed some not-so-smart people as envoys, but this time it must be foolproof.

When the carriage stopped, Liu Buhai had already put on a smile and stepped forward confidently.

A person got off the carriage and looked around with his head poking around. Seeing Liu Buhai, he was a little happy and showed an extremely kind smile.

However, at this moment, Liu Buhai was dumbfounded.

The man who got out of the carriage had a big beard, handsome appearance, well-dressed, extraordinary manner, a very dignified elder, everything was very good, the only bad thing was that he shouldn't be there at all here! !

"King Zhao?!"

Liu Buhai exclaimed, and immediately, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell over.

The envoy of Zhao State came at noon, and the embroidered clothes arrived at night.

The head embroidered clothes looked at the bearded man in front of him with great interest at the moment, unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest.

Originally, they came to investigate the matter between Confucian scholars and Dai Wang, but nothing wrong was found in this matter. Instead, Zhao Wang sent it to his door.

O princes and kings, princes and kings who went abroad privately, princes and kings who went abroad privately to meet other princes and kings in secret!

In the eyes of the chief embroidered clothes, this is not a prince, but a grand gift package of titles in action.

"My lord, why are you here?"

"Oh, the previous missions were a little unfavorable, so this time I am here to represent the country in person."

"Then do you know that princes and kings cannot go abroad?"

"I came out as an envoy, not a prince!"

Liu Ruyi is very confident, he seems to have his own understanding, and he said: "Besides, Zhao Guo and Dai Guo are going to join forces for trade. Zhao Guo needs a lot of coal. This is a major issue related to the north. There is no one around me. Yes, I'll come here in person, what's wrong with that?"

"Whether Zhao Guo needs a lot of coal, I don't know, but I know, I need you to stay here for a while."

When Liu Bo learned of this, he also hurriedly put aside the matter of pleading guilty and came to negotiate with Xiuyi.

After a series of running around by Liu Bo, Xiu Yi temporarily allowed Zhao Wang to stay with the Dai Wang, but he had to report to the temple in time for the matter here, and Zhao Wang could not leave Pingcheng.

Liu Ruyi didn't care much about these things. After seeing Dai Wang, he was very happy. He held Youzi's hand, feeling as if he saw his younger brother again.

"Father Zhong, why are you doing this? Alas, how can princes and kings come out at will?"

Liu Bo scratched his head, his face full of bitterness, this plot with Confucian scholars is not over yet, why are there more plots with princes and kings? ?
Unpredictable disaster! !

Liu Ruyi smiled and said: "It is indeed because of major events. The previous missions did not seem to go well. Although there are many people in Zhao, the sages are all in the temple. There is really no one around me who can be appointed, and Yuan The Prime Minister is not in Handan, and at the end of the year, he went to Chang'an to report to the government. What can I do, I can only come here in person. This time I am on an envoy, there will be no problem. What do you think, what do you think? You can talk to me about your plans.”

"Father Zhong, it's not such a problem."

"Oh, don't worry, if someone asks about the crime, I won't say it's about you."

"I'm not worried about being implicated. I'm mainly afraid that you will cause criticism and be detrimental to you."

Liu Ruyi shook his head, he slowly raised his head, and said with emotion: "Bo, I am already very old. These days, I often dream about my father and my elder brother and my second brother. When my father drove a six-horse carriage, my eldest brother and the others waved to me and asked me to follow them into the carriage. I think it’s about time. The brothers are all busy, and you haven’t come to see me for a long time. You are next door to me, but you don’t come to see me, so I can only come out to see you in person. Seeing you is like seeing the boss.”

"It doesn't matter if it causes criticism, if you are taken to Chang'an, maybe you can see Heng, Chang, and build them, which is also very good."

Liu Bo's expression changed immediately, and he said seriously, "Father Zhong is still young, so don't talk so nonsense."

Liu Ruyi smiled and stroked her big beard, "Why are you young? I am the oldest one in the clan now! The time flies by so fast. Just a few days ago, I was like this with you!" , very happy to go to Zhao country to take office. I remember when I went to Zhao country, the long-haired man cried a lot of snot and pulled my sleeves and didn't want me to go. Speaking of which, after getting on the bus that day, I I cried halfway because I missed these guys."

"It's like a few days ago, when I was a half-grown child, the eldest son always came to me crying, saying that he was being bullied, so I led people to clean up, but the second brother caught us. rebuke."

Seeing Liu Bo frowned and said nothing, Liu Ruyi shook her head again, "Stop talking about it, tell me about your plan quickly, while I'm still here, when I can help you, say Bar!"

Liu Bo didn't refuse, and seriously talked about his ideas, including building a commercial road, demolishing some checkpoints, formulating preferential plans for merchants from both sides, etc. Of course, Dai also needs Zhao's railway, and Liu Bo is very happy. I hope that the two sides can join forces to establish a huge trading circle in the north. Tang will produce sales, Zhao will produce iron, Xia will produce wool horses, Dai will produce coal, and Yan will produce everything. Multi-party cooperation, Liu Ruyi’s respect for Liu Bo’s He agreed with these ideas very much, and immediately expressed his willingness to help Youzi with all his strength to accomplish these things.

"Then I will trouble Father Zhong."

"Hahaha, how do you say it's troublesome? It's not a big deal. Let me tell you. In fact, I've always been partial to you. I just don't like Liu Bi. He's putting on airs. I don't like him, but you are different. , you are my dear son, but my country minister, he forbids me to favor you, saying that Zhao should be the most important thing. But my country minister is not a bad person, he still likes me very much."

"This time, I must give him a big surprise. He has gone to Chang'an now. When he knows that I have done such a big thing secretly, I will finish the things that the envoys failed. He will definitely be very happy." Have fun!"

Liu Bo thought about the scene. He was reporting the results of a year's work in Chang'an. The Prime Minister who was about to receive the reward was suddenly approached by Xiu Yi and told Zhao Wang to leave the country secretly. After a year of doing nothing, the reward turned into severe punishment.
Liu Bo just thought about it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help shaking. This is indeed a big surprise, he will definitely like you even more!
But Liu Bo didn't say that, he just smiled and said, "Probably so."

The two chatted for a long time. After dark, Liu Bo bowed to him and left the inner room. As soon as he walked out of the room, he met the embroidered clothes who bumped into him head-on.

"My lord, we need King Zhao to write the story himself."

"My second father has already rested, if you need anything, just ask me."

"My lord, this is not true."

Before Xiuyi finished speaking, he felt that he was being lifted by something, and then flew out.

Xiu Yi didn't react at all, he just lay on the ground blankly, looking up at the sky.

The sky in Pingcheng is really dark! ! !
ps: The child was taken in for an operation. Although it was only a small minimally invasive operation, considering the possibility of bleeding, it is really a bit reluctant for me to write a story in such a happy atmosphere. With this mental state, it is really It's torture. I haven't been able to sleep for several days.

Last night I put on my best clothes, went to get a nice haircut, and trimmed my beard. No matter what happens in the future, I will be as indestructible as a rock.
