Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 102 The roots are here!
"Your Majesty, the state of Jin cannot pretend to be a human being."

Xiao He never concealed his words, and always went straight to the subject. Probably because of this character, he needed to go to Tingwei for a few days.When other ministers opened their mouths, they always showed that they were thinking of Liu Bang.But Xiao He is just the opposite, the society is the most important, then the people, and finally Liu Bang.
It's natural for Liu Bang to feel unhappy, how about you even pretend to be polite?
Xiao He said solemnly: "Young master has an unruly personality and courage. He can be a barrier for a big man, but he cannot be a neighbor of the emperor."

"What does the Prime Minister mean?"

"In the past, Emperor Yao, Tao Tang, and Yi Qi Fangxun served as the king, and later Taiyuan became the capital, and there was the state of Tang."

"What does the Prime Minister mean?"

"It's better to have Taiyuan, Shangdang, Yunzhong, Yanmen, Shangjun as the Tang kingdom, with the son-in-law as the king of Tang, and Hedong and Hanoi. They must not fall into the hands of the princes, no matter which princes and kings they are."

Liu Bang was furious, "Does the Prime Minister want my son to be your shield?"

The reason for Liu Bang's anger is also very simple. With such a letter, Liu Chang lost the wealthy plains. Although Taiyuan is not bad to keep up with the party, he is surrounded by foreign enemies on three sides. If Zhao Dai does not help, he will have to carry it alone. Huge Huns, this is really not a good place to go.

At this moment, the Huns, under the leadership of Modun Chanyu, conquered more than [-] countries such as Loulan, Wusun, Hujie, etc., and controlled most of the Western Regions. To the north, they conquered Hunlong, Qushe, Dingling, Ge Kun, Xin Li and other countries.To the south, it annexed the jurisdiction of Loufan and the king of Henan, and re-occupied the land south of the Hetao.

Starting from Yinshan Mountain in the south, reaching Lake Baikal in the north, reaching the Liaohe River in the east, and exceeding the Congling Mountains in the west, it is said to unite all the people who draw bows into one family.

The big Han is newly established, the people are exhausted, and the food and grass are insufficient. The monarch of , the second man who unified all the nomadic tribes was called Temujin, and the first was him.

Liu Bang himself did not dare to say that he would definitely be able to defeat Mo Dun, let alone Liu Chang, a foolish boy?

The threat from the Xiongnu is increasing day by day. You must know that there is a shadow of the Xiongnu behind the rebellion of the Zhao Dynasty. Han Wangxin led his troops on the expedition, and he led the Huns cavalry. Wan came and said that he would make him king.

Today's Modun is the strongest and most powerful time. After pacifying the grasslands, he turned his attention to the huge empire to the south. If it weren't for the fact that there were also tribal problems within the Huns, integration was needed, and the war would have been early. about to explode.But even so, every year, Modun sent a small group of troops to raid Yunyan, Shangjun, Taiyuan, Yan, and even Zhaodai and other areas.

In the face of Liu Bang's questioning, Xiao He was not at all afraid, and he said calmly: "In the beginning, Your Majesty wanted to protect the emperor with princes, but just now did not fully implement the prefectures and counties and set up a feudal kingdom. Could it be that Your Majesty only wants to let future generations enjoy wealth and honor, but does not want to let Are they responsible?"

Liu Bang was no longer angry, and he sighed helplessly, "If it is possible, who would want to let their children suffer?"

"Although he doesn't look like me, he is my most beloved son. He has a strong temperament and resembles his mother." Liu Bang looked around and said in a low voice, "My biological mother. I want to make Ruyi the king of Zhao because Ruyi understands. If he chooses and has great ambitions, he will not attack rashly. He will seriously manage the land of Zhao. If the land of Zhao is strong, he can rescue the frontier places. If Heng is the king, it is because Heng is more patient than other princes. ."

"If the Huns looted, they would always be able to endure the humiliation, and would not act in anger."

"But Chang Zhen dares to conclude that if the Huns looted, he would definitely go out to fight against the Xiongnu himself. If he was humiliated, he would definitely not survive. The Huns are strong. This is what I and the queen are worried about."

This was the first time Liu Bang was so sincere, not in the words of the emperor, but in the tone of an old father to discuss with Xiao He.

Xiao He chuckled lightly, and said, "It is precisely because of this that the minister feels that the son should be named the king of Tang."

Liu Bang's eyes widened and he scolded, "Could it be that the Prime Minister came here on purpose to murder my son?"

"Your Majesty and the Empress have only seen the shortcomings of the young master, but never noticed his strengths."

"Your Majesty said that the son is stubborn, but he didn't know that this son has the style of His Majesty. He can gather people, although he is young, he has many friends and a wide range of contacts, which is really surprising. He can use people, such as Gai Gong, Zhang Gong, Luan Bu and others are willing to serve him."

"He has the guts to lead the crowd to Tingwei's prison."

"He has intelligence, he can think of ways to solve problems by attacking the building of Hou's mansion, and he can even do a lot of incredible things."

"He is brave, has a chivalrous spirit, practiced swordsmanship, and learned the art of war. The most surprising thing to the minister is that when he attacked Jiancheng Houfu, he actually dispatched troops, used his confidant to hold a crossbow, and used a carriage to block the road. Children, each has an appointment, my son was stupid, so he got a job to hold the flag, and he even arranged for four children to set fire to the back door to prevent Duke Jiancheng from escaping. This is what the son of the minister said."

"Even, the son-in-law has a good heart. Perhaps you have not noticed that the son-in-law has repeatedly explained to the public: Do not bully the commoners, be executed if you violate the law, and distribute the looted food to the leader several times."

Xiao He shook his head, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

But Liu Bang stared at him and asked eagerly, "What else? What else?"

"What's more, the young master's growth is obvious to all. But a few years ago, he gradually grew into a man of great wisdom and courage. In another 20 years, so what?"

"The minister predicts that in the future, he will be able to stabilize the world of the great Han, defend against foreign enemies outside, and support the Son of Heaven inside, and he will be the son-in-law!"

"With such a son here, what is your Majesty worried about?"

Liu Bang was overjoyed, raised his head proudly, and said, "Those who are safe from Liu's family must be my milk tiger!"

Seeing Xiao He, who never flattered himself on weekdays, actually flattered his son, Liu Bang didn't know how happy he was. He happily stayed with Xiao He and ate with him before rushing to Jiaofang Palace.

When he rushed into the Jiaofang Hall, Empress Lu was holding a wooden stick high in his hand, and Liu Chang pouted his butt.

Liu Bang was stunned, hurriedly protected Liu Chang, and asked, "Why did the queen beat him?"

"Make up your own mind, be bold, you should be punished!"

Empress Lu said coldly.

However, Liu Bang hurriedly helped him up, patted his face with a smile, and then said to Empress Lu seriously: "My son has the heart of peace, and should not be punished!"

Empress Lu looked at him in surprise and didn't answer.

"I thought about it, and finally came up with a solution. In the past, Emperor Yao, Tao Tang, Yi Qi Fangxun was the king, and later Taiyuan was the capital. When Tang Guozhen planned to use the elder as the Tang king, what do you think?"

"What do you mean, Your Majesty? You want to kill my son?!"

Empress Lu grabbed Liu Chang from Liu Bang's hand and stared at him angrily.

Liu Bang shook his head and said, "The queen only saw the shortcomings of the son, but never noticed his strengths."

"This son seems to be stubborn, but he has a style of my own. He can gather people. Although he is young, he has many friends and a wide network of people. It is amazing. He can use people, such as Gai Gong, Zhang Gong, Luan. Bu and others are willing to serve him."

"He has the guts."

"He has courage."

Liu Bang spoke loudly, and finally, he said firmly: "Those who secure the world must be the milk tiger!"

Empress Lu and Liu Chang were stunned.

Empress Lu didn't know how to refute for a while, but Liu Chang hurriedly asked, "What else? What else?"

Finally, Liu Bang said earnestly: "Among the masters, only the elder has this ability, and I hope the queen can think seriously."

Liu Chang stood aside, smirking, Liu Bang's compliment, saying that he was light and fluttering, and he hadn't even landed at the moment.

"Father is right! Mother, who is it that you give up on me!"

"It is said that my father is good at looking at people, and this is indeed true. My father is really accurate in seeing people, and he can see my advantages at a glance!"

Liu Chang hugged Liu Bang's leg a little excitedly and said, "Father, don't worry, I will never make you angry again, and I will never call you a fool like Jie Zhou! Father, you are a bright lord, yes The world's number one Mingjun! What Yingzheng is not as good as one ten thousandth of your father, Yao, Shun Yu, Shennong Fuxi."

"Okay, okay, it's been a while!!"

ps: In order to make it clear to everyone, I am looking for a picture of this era and posted it in the Easter Egg chapter of the previous chapter.
