Chapter 101 "Father and Son"
Chapter 101 "Father and Son"
After waiting for a long time, Han Zhao met Yu Shi Ye Han.
He is Liu Ji's father-in-law, and of course, Liu Ci's confidant.
At the beginning, Ye Han supported Liu Ji most likely because of Liu Ci's instruction, but now that Liu Ji is against Liu Ci, he is of course on Liu Ci's side.
However, this does not mean that Ye Han cannot help them.
It's just that Liu Ji is a proud person, and he is unlikely to ask his opponent for help after suffering.
Ye Han's reaction after seeing Han Zhao also proved Han Zhao's conjecture—Liu Ji did not come to him.
Han Zhao lowered his eyes.That being the case, if Liu Ji couldn't speak, he would speak.
After listening to Han Zhao's statement, Ye Han pondered: "You want me to save King Zhao?"
Han Zhao replied: "Yes! Ye Yushi should be clear that His Majesty is no longer at the peak of spring and autumn—and Liu Ji is the best of His Majesty's sons. Your Excellency must think about the future."
Ye Han was silent for a moment, and asked Han Zhao a question: "Do you know that King Zhao opposed my proposal to use troops in Bingzhou before?"
Han Zhao's heart shuddered: "Your Excellency cares about that?"
Liu Jizhuhe listened to Cheng Ju's opinion and wanted to give the Li people time to recuperate.
Logically speaking, this does not harm the interests of the Ye family, why does Ye Han object?
Ye Han shook his head and sighed: "No—I have nothing to worry about, it's the other one."
Han Zhao was taken aback.
Ye Han doesn't lead the battle?Then who can change Ye Han's mind?
There is only one answer: Liu Ci!
It is Liu Ci who wants to fight!This person who has been running his own name as a benevolent monarch.
Han Zhaofang figured out what was going on, and then he heard Ye Han say, "Think about it carefully, Your Majesty will see you later."
Liu Ci?
What did Liu Ci do when he saw him?
Han Zhao asked, but Ye Han didn't answer.
After waiting for a short time, he heard the attendant's message: "My lord, Your Majesty is coming!"
Han Zhao followed Ye Han and knelt down to salute, but he did not hear Pingshen's order after kneeling for a long time.Someone walked around him, and then heard a slow male voice: "Han Zhao?"
Han Zhao: "Yes."
Liu Ci's eyes wandered on Han Zhao's face, mainly looking at his eyes: "Are your eyes okay?"
Han Zhao replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The military doctor said it was only temporary blindness."
Someone approached Han Zhao, with a smell of medicine on his body.He reached out to grab Han Zhao's wrist, and Han Zhao broke free subconsciously.
Liu Ci said: "This is an imperial physician, you don't need to be on guard."
Han Zhao didn't understand why Liu Ci brought the imperial physician here, but he didn't dodge any more and obediently asked him to give his pulse.
After taking the pulse, the imperial physician lifted Han Zhao's eyelids to look again, and returned to his original position: "Return to Your Majesty, the blindness is caused by drugs, and it will recover after a little training."
Liu Ci still didn't let Han Zhao get up to speak. He rubbed his fingers and said, "I'm curious why my second son didn't destroy your eyes."
Han Zhao replied, "I'm going to ask the Second Young Master about that."
Liu Jin really wanted to gouge out his eyes, but was stopped. Han Zhao guessed that the master sent someone to do it, but he couldn't explain the existence of the master to Liu Ci.
Liu Ci's gaze wandered around Han Zhao's face again, and he found an explanation. He chuckled, "That's right, it's a pity that your eyes are ruined."
Han Zhao did not respond to this slightly frivolous words: "..."
After Liu Ci finished speaking, he sighed again: "Speaking of which, General Chongguang's real name is also Han Zhao."
Liu Ci's words echoed here and there, but Han Zhao didn't understand what he meant after a while: "It's not uncommon for people with the same name in this world."
"But it's a bit interesting to have the same name as a well-known traitor."
Han Zhao couldn't answer those words.
Fortunately, Liu Ci didn't really want Han Zhao to respond. He continued to ask, "You taught Liu Ji's art of war?"
Han Zhao: "Yes."
Liu Ci: "Then the master should be better than the apprentice?"
Han Zhao replied, "In a few years, I may not be able to defeat Liu Ji."
Liu Ci asked again: "Who did you learn the art of war from?"
Han Zhao didn't change his face and said: "Master said that after the disciple leaves the teacher, he will have his own destiny. He doesn't want to get involved in common matters, so he doesn't allow me to tell the world about his name."
Liu Ci pondered for a while, as if he was evaluating the truth of Han Zhao's words. After a while, he sighed: "He is really a master who transcends the world."
Although he was talking about Han Zhao's master, Liu Ci's sharp eyes fell on Han Zhao from the beginning to the end.
Regardless of his status, Liu Ji sent troops to rescue Han Zhao, which showed how much he cared about Han Zhao.
And Han Zhao came to Dongdu alone to deal with Liu Ji in an attempt to rescue Liu Ji, which proved Liu Ji's importance to him.
If he knew that Han Zhao was so capable and that their master-student friendship was so deep, Liu Ci might have other ideas.
But it's not too late now.
Liu Ci said leisurely: "It's not impossible for you to protect Liu Ji."
Finally getting to the point, Han Zhao tensed up as soon as he lifted his body.
This subtle movement did not escape Liu Ci's eyes, and he asked Han Zhao quietly: "But, what can you give me?"
Han Zhao didn't understand why Liu Ci asked him this question. Is there anything in him worthy of Liu Ci's scheme?
"Your Majesty is already the ruler of the world, what more do you want?"
Liu Ci laughed: "Didn't you say it? Are you still asking me?"
"The lord of the world, what should he have? Under the whole world, he should be the king's land; on the shore of the land, he should be the king's minister. But there are still people who refuse to obey me. Northern Xinjiang, South Vietnam, Dongyi... I not only want to restore the next dynasty, I Also, wherever the blue sky shines brightly, it is territory!"
Han Zhao understood.
Liu Ci's ambition is far from being an emperor. He wants to complete the great cause that the previous emperors did not complete. In his lifetime, he will include all the far-reaching territories that the people of the Central Plains can currently reach.
But the world has already suffered from wars and turmoil. Such a militaristic plot will inevitably cause backlash once it is spoken out.
Therefore, Liu Ci could not advocate for himself and asked his subordinates to help him find a reason, but Liu Ji was against him. This is one of the reasons why Liu Ci wanted to get rid of Liu Ji.
Now Liu Ci no longer uses Liu Ji, but he needs an excellent general who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Liu Ji, so he turned his idea to Han Zhao.
Master, you can't be any worse than your disciples.
And Han Zhao's behavior in Dongdu alone under the condition of blindness proved to Liu Ci how much he cares about Liu Ji, and he is not afraid of Han Zhao's backlash because he can use Liu Ji to contain Han Zhao at any time.
Han Zhao understood what Liu Ci meant, he worked his life for Liu Ci, and Liu Ci let Liu Ji go.After a long silence, Han Zhao lowered his head slowly and with difficulty, and knocked on the bluestone board: "I am willing to serve Your Majesty and do the work of dogs and horses."
Liu Ci added: "I don't want Han Zhao, but Gu Chongming."
Gu Chongming is a fictitious identity, once it is used up, it can be discarded without burden.
Han Zhao responded, "Yes!"
……
This year, Zhao Wang Liu Ji was deprived of his military power, changed to the title of Chu King, and was assigned to Chu, and ordered not to leave without summons.
This year, Nanyue was rude to the emperor and "actively" provoked trouble. Under Gu Chongming's strong advocacy, His Majesty named him a chariot general to conquer South Vietnam and promote the country's prestige.
But this was originally just a battle of demonstrations, but it became bigger and bigger until the country was destroyed in South Vietnam.
And then Bingzhou...
Other places are full of gunpowder, but the remote Chu land has been deprived of all power, and Liu Ji, who has only one title of Chu king, is living happily.
He kept feeding the carp in the pond until a light yellow figure snatched the bait plate in his hand: "Hey! Sister Murong is leaving, so you don't stop?"
Liu Ji didn't respond when he heard this, and continued to throw the remaining bait in his hands, and replied coldly: "This is her freedom. I told her when I took her away from Murong's house that I couldn't be her lover." The only advantage of marrying me is that she doesn't have to be married to someone else by the family, she can do whatever she wants, and she can leave whenever she wants."
Ye Chanyue gave a disdainful "tsk": "Dog thief!"
In fact, she is very envious of Murong Xue. She has ideals of curing diseases and saving people, and has a sweetheart who is dedicated to pursuing. Unlike her, she has no goals and ideals. I don't want to resist.
Ye Chanyue pushed Liu Ji's arm: "Hey, help me find someone."
Liu Ji raised his eyes: "Who?"
Ye Chanyue rolled her eyes: "Sister Murong's sweetheart is Han Zhao!" Murong Xue was only thinking about that person, and she also wanted to help.
The movements of Liu Ji's hands paused, and his eyes and face instantly sank.
After following Liu Ji for so long, Ye Chanyue has also learned to read his face. This expression indicates that something big is about to happen. She panicked and said hurriedly: "Hey, hey, if you don't agree, you won't agree. His face is so scary. what?"
Liu Ji's past was deeply buried by Liu Ci. Among the people who did not participate in those events back then, there were very few who knew that he was Zhao Ji from Liangzhou, let alone knew that Han Zhao was Liu Ji's master.
Liu Ji put on his usual expression: "I agree. Go back and wait for the news."
The dog thief took the wrong medicine?Ye Chanyue was full of doubts, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
However, when she waited for more than half a year and did not hear any news, she knew: a dog thief is still a dog thief.
Ye Chanyue was fooled away, and Liu Ji's soldiers came again: "Your Majesty, you are here."
Hearing this, Liu Ji's eyes lit up, he dropped the bait plate in his hand, and walked quickly towards the front yard.
When Liu Ji arrived at the main hall, his soldiers were taking turns showing off their housekeeping skills, and the goal was to amuse the boy sitting on the chair.
Seeing Liu Ji approaching, everyone immediately closed the stalls and quickly lined up.
The kid who was giggling non-stop also restrained his smile, and looked curiously at the man who made everyone sit upright as soon as he came in.
Liu Ji walked up to the boy and squatted down, pinching his powder-carved face: "What's your name?"
The child stared wide-eyed and covered the place that Liu Ji had pinched, with a dissatisfied expression on his face, but he still answered Liu Ji's question politely and obediently: "Han Bin."
Liu Ji asked: "What else?"
The boy puffed his face and replied, "Bin'er is Han Bin, not anyone else!"
Liu Ji smiled helplessly, pinched the other side of Han Bin's uncovered face: "You keep your mouth shut."
Han Bin hurriedly covered the other side of his face, his face full of grievances: "Big villain! I want Master Shigong!"
Liu Ji patted Han Bin's head: "Your master, you have very important things to do."
He pulled Han Bin into his arms, hugged him, and coaxed him: "How about being my son? I will give you a lot of fun and delicious food."
Han Bin rebuffed straight away: "Not good."
Liu Ji put on a serious face and said, "You are my son."
At first, when Liu Ji heard that there was a child beside Han Zhao, he also thought it was Han Zhao's son, but after thinking about it, if the master's temperament could give birth to all the sons in such a short time, he would have been nothing to him.
After investigation, Liu Ji realized that this is not Han Zhao's son, but his son, his godson.
Han Bin, no, or Liu Xi was unhappy when he heard this, and he puffed up his mouth to retort: "That's not it!"
Although he didn't know who his father was, he didn't just call him dad just by coaxing him.
Liu Ji smiled, and he said in a more serious tone: "You are really my son, if you don't believe me, you can ask them."
As he spoke, he looked at his own soldiers, who nodded repeatedly.
Seeing that the elder brother who took care of him along the way nodded, Liu Xi finally had a little faith. He looked at Liu Ji and said aggrievedly, "Then why haven't you come to me and Master Shigong?"
This crying question hit the most secret scar in Liu Ji's heart.
why?
Because things have changed, everything has changed beyond recognition, Liangzhou is no longer Liangzhou, and he is no longer Zhao Ji.
Liu Ji hugged Liu Xi, buried his head behind the child's back, and suppressed the soreness in his nose: "Am I not coming?"
