Chapter 165 My Master's Master Is Not My Master(1/2)
Xiao He sat on the bed, staring angrily at Liu Chang in front of him.
Liu Chang held a chicken in his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Xiang, I am here to visit you on the order of the Queen Mother... I want to ask you how you are?"
"Your Majesty, before your death, Your Majesty said many times that the one who can bring peace to the world of Han Dynasty will be me."
"There should not have been any peace talks this time, so why did the king agree to it?!"
Xiao He said very seriously, but Liu Chang laughed, "Xiao Xiang didn't know something... I have never had any intention of negotiating peace. In fact, I had already written a letter before the envoy paid homage to His Majesty, and I rejected it righteously.
I accepted the request for peace and gave the letter to the envoy... When Mao Dun sees the letter, he will probably understand what I mean."
"Oh? Then why doesn't your Majesty object to the peace talks among the ministers?"
Liu Chang had a look of disdain on his face. He sat proudly in front of Xiao He and said, "The Prime Minister is ruining my big job!"
"oh?"
"It's winter now. In a few days, the Xiongnu will definitely fight against the Yueshi with all their strength...Mao Dun sent envoys, which is actually to alienate me and the ministers, and to alienate the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty. At the same time, he also wanted to
We need to have a stable rear so that we can eliminate the Yuezhi in one fell swoop."
"My idea is this. Since Mao Dun wants to see the discord between the Tang State and the Han Dynasty, I will let him see it... It is best for all the ministers to accuse me and for your Majesty to order the Tang State not to attack the Xiongnu...
"I was very frustrated and ordered the Tang State to stop all activities against the Xiongnu..." Liu Chang suddenly laughed, "When the Xiongnu mistakenly thought that the Tang State did not dare to go out and attacked the Yuezhi with all their strength..."
"Your Majesty will raid the three major Xiongnu tribes outside the Tang Kingdom and wipe them out."
Liu Chang shook his head, "No matter what, Xiao Xiang made a fuss in the temple, which made it impossible for me to carry out my plan. Our Tang country now only has more than 4,000 war horses. If the Huns don't let up, they want to devour him in the Tang country."
I’m afraid it will also be difficult for several nearby tribes.”
"After I received the letter from Mao Dun, I came up with this perfect plan. I also wrote to Prime Minister Zhang in advance to let him prepare for the expedition. I was waiting for Mao Dun to send his daughter and go to conquer the Yueshi without any worries.
... I am also planning to communicate with the Yuezhi King in advance to ask him to involve the Xiongnu for a while... What a pity."
Xiao He suddenly asked: "Why does this sound like the strategy of Marquis Huaiyin?"
"Ah? How did Xiao Xiang know?!"
Liu Chang asked in surprise with his eyes widened.
Xiao He curled his lips and said, "The Marquis of Huaiyin has a good plan. By doing this, wouldn't he be using the reputation of the Han Dynasty in exchange for the victory of the Tang Kingdom? In this way, the people outside the wall only know that the Tang Kingdom is brave, but think that the Han Dynasty is weak... It seems
, Marquis Huaiyin still has no intention of giving up."
Liu Chang giggled and said, "I don't know this."
"Your Majesty, although I am old, I am not one of those idiots in the court. Your Majesty, you don't have to fool me."
"Ah? How could Prime Minister Xiao say that to the important ministers of the court? They are all good people... In order to achieve the victory of the Tang Dynasty, Shusun Tong even risked his own life to come to ask his mother..."
"They thought they were selling the king in exchange for the peace of the Han Dynasty, but in the end they were sold by the king in exchange for the victory of the Tang Dynasty."
"I am by no means a villain who betrays others."
Xiao He calmed down and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I hope your Majesty will bear it in mind."
"Xiao Xiang, please tell me."
"Please, Your Majesty, get married early and have more sons."
Liu Chang wondered for a while whether there was something wrong with his ears. Why did this sound like what Zhang Xiang said?
He was in a daze for a moment and then asked: "What did you say?"
"I originally asked the king to take charge of the Tang Dynasty because the king is brave and can fight against foreign enemies. The clan is weak. I ask the king to have more sons to strengthen the clan and protect the Han Dynasty."
"Hahaha, okay, okay, I will listen to you, Mr. Xiao! This matter will be taken care of by me! I will definitely adopt your advice!" Liu Chang was delighted, slapping his chest, looking excited.
Liu Chang left very happily.
After Xiao He saw him leaving, he called a retainer and handed him a letter tremblingly, "In the future...after the King of Tang goes to the feudal country, I will hand this letter to the Queen Mother.
If the Queen Mother is absent, it will be given to the Emperor."
.......
"Mom, I'm going to marry the second daughter of the Cao family tomorrow."
Seeing Liu Chang sitting in front of her with a solemn expression and sincere words, Empress Lu suddenly felt angry and looked at him coldly.
"This is not for myself. Today I went to see Prime Minister Xiao. Prime Minister Xiao said that the clan is weak now and I should get married early and have more children to protect the Han Dynasty in the future. I am doing this for the Han Dynasty. I have no selfish motives at all.
!”
Empress Lu sneered and said: "Since you have no selfish motives, don't always think about Cao's daughter. I think Fan Qing is very good. Since you have the heart to serve the world, I won't stop you. I will do it for you tomorrow."
Become a matchmaker and marry Fan Qing."
"ah??"
Liu Chang jumped up suddenly, "Mom, I'm still young, and my brothers haven't gotten married yet, so how can I get my turn? Let's talk about this later!"
Before Empress Lu could reply, Liu Chang quickly fled from Jiaofang Palace.
Empress Lu snorted coldly, then picked up the bamboo slips in her hand, her face became colder and colder. The content of the letter was about South Vietnam.
When Liu Chang walked out of the palace, the three major ministers had already arrived.
Liu Chang's unhappiness immediately disappeared, and he walked up with a smile, "You are finally out!"
Liu Chang held Luan Bu's hand tightly and said excitedly: "I haven't seen you for a few days. I almost thought that several years have passed. I really miss you so much. Including the sages in Chang'an, there is no one who doesn't miss you!"
When Luan Bu heard this, he felt a little moved in his heart, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty... I am really guilty of worrying Your Majesty."
"Hey, it's okay, you're out now... We can finally ride the car, and someone can fish us out..."
The emotion in Luan Bu's heart suddenly disappeared.
Liu Chang led them all the way towards Han Xin's mansion, and asked again: "Did Wei Ting's people deliberately embarrass you?"
Luan Bu shook his head, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the people there are all old acquaintances of me... I have never been in trouble, and I drink with them from time to time, and I am happy all day long. I don't have to catch the King anymore... In fact, Tingwei's prison is quite good."
of...."
Zhang Buyi also said: "Yes... we were in Chang'an originally, and we were restless all day long, for fear that the king would run away again. Once the king disappeared, we would run around Chang'an and be looked down upon by others. What mistake did the king make?
I still have to be reprimanded by the Queen Mother and Her Majesty... Alas, it's quite peaceful in the prison."
"What? You want to go in and stay a little longer? Do you want me to help you?"
"Let's forget it. If I go in, who will get the king out?"
A few people were laughing and chatting. Liu Chang remembered the business and said again: "I asked Shang Fang to make the saddle. You have to get it back to me early. My good brother gave me a horse. That horse,
It’s really beautiful. I’ll take you to see it when you come out from the master’s place later, hahaha..."
Liu Chang proudly showed off his BMW and soon arrived in front of Han Xin's mansion.
"master!!"
Liu Chang shouted and rushed into the inner room, while the family members stood outside the door.
Han Xin glanced at Liu Chang calmly and asked, "The matter didn't succeed?"
"How did the master know?"
"If you succeed, you should walk in with a smile on your face."
"Master still understands me!"
Liu Chang then sat in front of Han Xin and whispered: "Xiao Xiang went to the palace and angrily rebuked the ministers, but in the end he failed to negotiate a peace... His Majesty told the envoy that unless Mao Dun apologized first, the Han would never negotiate with him.
After negotiating for peace, if he wanted to marry a girl, he would have to provide a dowry of 3,000 war horses. The messenger was furious, but in the end he could only leave in anger."
"pity."
"Master, what should we do next?"
"Gather your strength and pretend to be suspicious. You have to show a very angry look, so that the Tang State keeps sending troops to the border and looks like it is about to send troops... In this way, Mao Dun will not dare to fight against the Yueshi and Ding Ling with all his strength.
The longer the battle is involved, the better..."
"Okay, I will give the order to Prime Minister Zhang."
"Also, I have a friend who wants to come see me, but I can't go out at the moment, and no one can come in. You can go visit him on my behalf."
"Ah? A friend again? He's not someone like Kuai Che again, is he?"
Liu Chang's face was full of displeasure.
Seeing him like this, Han Xin snorted disdainfully and said, "You'll know it when you see him."
"Hmph, it's best not to be someone like Kuai Che, otherwise, I will have to cook him and then capture his family to build the Tang Palace!
Liu Chang led the three housekeepers to an ordinary residence in the south of Chang'an City.
"Is this here? The third house on the left?"
"Your Majesty, this is it."
This time Liu Chang asked Luan Bu to knock on the door. Liu Chang waited for a moment at the door and looked around. It was a very quiet street. There were very few pedestrians on the road and no barking dogs could be heard. It was extremely quiet. Liu Chang waited for a moment.
No one opened the door, so he stepped forward impatiently and was about to knock on the door again. At this moment, the door was suddenly opened.
