Emperor Zhou Wu appeared in the house dressed in regular clothes, "It's strange that you would take the initiative to see me."
The middle-aged man did not talk nonsense to Emperor Wu of Zhou and asked directly: "Xiongnu, what are you going to do?"
Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Emperor Zhou Wu raised his eyebrows in slight surprise: "Xiao Shi told you."
The middle-aged man looked at Emperor Zhou Wu mockingly: "Befriend Wusun and rely on Wusun. You really have a brain."
Emperor Wu of Zhou ignored the middle-aged man's eccentric expression and said, "Why should we turn away people who take the initiative to befriend us? Besides, I don't expect Wusun to be able to resist the Xiongnu."
"Your plan."
"I have sent people to the Xiongnu. At least within the next five years, I will not let the Xiongnu have plans to go south."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he raised his lips and sneered: "You are the best at plotting." Although Emperor Zhou Wu didn't say anything just now, the middle-aged man guessed Emperor Zhou Wu's plan.
Regarding the middle-aged man's "praise", Emperor Wu of Zhou accepted it generously: "Thank you for the compliment."
The middle-aged man sneered.
"Is this why you called me here?" Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at the middle-aged man jokingly, "Are you worried about the Xiongnu going south?"
The middle-aged man looked at Emperor Zhou Wu coldly and said nothing.
"If the Huns really go south, what are you going to do?" Emperor Wu of Zhou asked, "Are you going to go out in person to drive away the Huns?"
The middle-aged man said with an indifferent expression: "I will not go to the battlefield for you."
"Old He, you should know who gave the country the name [Da Zhou], and you should also know the meaning of the country name [Zhou]." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "Once the Xiongnu goes south, the Great Zhou will become unstoppable. An Ning, can you bear it?"
No one understands the significance of the country’s name [Da Zhou] better than the middle-aged man. Because he was the first person to hear the name of the country.
Back then, when Prince Yiyong chose the name of his country, he thought about many words and finally chose "Zhou" as the name of his country. At that time, he also asked the owner why he used the word "zhou".
The master said that "zhou" means comprehensiveness, and also means the flow of things around and endlessly. He hopes that when the Great Zhou Dynasty is established in the future, the Great Zhou Dynasty can protect the people's lives and allow them to live a stable and happy life. The most important thing is to hope that the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty can bring new hope to the people.
"I suddenly remembered that you have never fought against the Huns. If you are afraid of the Huns and do not dare to go to the battlefield, it is normal."
The middle-aged man ignored Emperor Zhou Wu's childish and low-level provocation.
Although he had never fought against the Huns, the middle-aged man did not take them seriously.
"You still have five years to prepare. During these five years, you can study the Huns well."
The middle-aged man still ignored Emperor Zhou Wu.
"By the way, didn't you say you wanted to kill my Xiao Shi?" Emperor Zhou Wu looked at the middle-aged man teasingly, "Xiao Shi came to see you today, why didn't you kill him?"
The middle-aged man sneered: "Don't you want your little son to appear in front of me?"
"I didn't know this kid came to find you."
"Don't you know he's here?" There are many secret guards in the house where the middle-aged man lives. This place is monitored by secret guards. Whoever enters and what happens will be reported to Emperor Wu of Zhou in detail.
As soon as Zhao Yao entered this house, Emperor Zhou Wu in the palace would receive the news.
Emperor Zhou Wu was not surprised at all that Zhao Yao came to see the middle-aged man as soon as he took a rest.
"I didn't know until he arrived." Emperor Wu of Zhou said very frankly, "I just want to see if you can really kill Xiao Shi."
The middle-aged man looked at Emperor Zhou Wu with dark eyes.
"I know you are reluctant to kill Xiao Shi." Emperor Zhou Wu crossed his hands to support his chin and raised his eyebrows at the middle-aged man, "Isn't my Xiao Shi very cute and lovable?"
"More lovable than you." The middle-aged man said coldly, "He really doesn't look like your son. How could someone as sinister and vicious as you give birth to such a lovely son."
"Hahahaha..." Emperor Zhou Wu laughed loudly, "I knew you would like Xiao Shi."
The middle-aged man was not angry or embarrassed when he was seen through, "He is not like you." What he meant was that if Zhao Yao looked like Emperor Wu of Zhou, he would never like it.
"Even if he doesn't look like me, he is still my biological son." Emperor Wu of Zhou said proudly.
Seeing Emperor Zhou Wu's proud look, the middle-aged man felt very disgusted and unceremoniously ordered him to leave: "You can get out."
"No, I just came, let's talk again."
"I have nothing to talk about with you."
"Who said that? We can talk about Xiao Shi." Emperor Zhou Wu winked at the middle-aged man, "I can tell you about Xiao Shi."
"I don't want to hear it."
"I want to say."
Emperor Wu of Zhou told the middle-aged man a lot about Zhao Yao very "toughly" regardless of whether he wanted to hear it or not.
After listening for a while, the middle-aged man felt that Emperor Zhou Wu was too noisy and ordered him to be kicked out again.
Emperor Wu of Zhou was ruthlessly driven out of the house. He stood at the door of the house with an unfinished expression.
"I haven't finished speaking yet, why did he drive me out?"
Sun Kui said in his heart: That person thinks you are too noisy and annoying.
"Your Majesty, don't you always think that His Highness is stupid? Why are you praising His Highness just now?" Just now he heard the Emperor praising His Highness, and he couldn't believe that these words came from the Emperor's mouth.
"I have to let Lao He know how good Xiao Shi is, so that Lao He will like Xiao Shi more."
Sun Kui wanted that person to like His Highness Ten, but he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Your Majesty, should we go back to the palace now or go somewhere else?"
Emperor Wu of Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Lao He's house."
He Xiang was loosening the soil of his precious orchids when he saw Emperor Wu of Zhou coming and was startled.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
"I stopped by to see you."
He Xiang personally brought a cup of tea to Emperor Zhou Wu, "Your Majesty, where did you come from?"
"Lao He's place." Emperor Wu of Zhou picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a few sips of tea.
"What are you doing at Lao He's place?"
"He took the initiative to ask me to go and asked me some things about the Huns."
He Xiang asked: "What does he have in mind?"
"He thinks Wusun is useless." Emperor Wu of Zhou played with the tea cup and said, "I asked him to study the Xiongnu carefully."
"If the Huns go south, do you plan to let them go, Your Majesty?"
"We can't always let him sleep in that house." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "I didn't keep him here to provide for his old age. He has to play his role, right?"
"It seems that he has never fought against the Huns."
"With his ability, the Huns will not be his opponent."
"Your Majesty, I have to remind you." He Xiang's expression suddenly became very serious.
"you say."
"Lao He has always hated you and thinks that you killed Prince Yiyong." He Xiang said, "He also thinks that you took away Prince Yiyong's throne. Once you let him out, his subordinates will contact him. They might do something."
Emperor Wu of Zhou said what Xiang He really wanted to say: "Do you want to say that they will rebel?"
"Lao He not only has outstanding ability to lead troops in combat, but also has excellent management skills." Lao He is outstanding in all aspects, so he is scary.
"He may instigate my son to rebel and overthrow me as the emperor, but he will not rebel and become the emperor himself."
"Your Majesty, are you so sure?"
Emperor Wu of Zhou said with a smile: "Because the eldest brother took the title of Dazhou, and half of the credit for the establishment of Dazhou was eldest brother. If he rebels and becomes emperor himself, it will be equivalent to destroying eldest brother's hard work."
He Xiang did not expect this.
"If the eldest brother had a son, he might have supported the eldest brother's son to rebel and then killed me."
"If Prince Yiyong had an heir, Your Majesty, you would have given up the throne long ago." As someone who had been with Emperor Zhou Wu from the beginning, He Xiang still understood Emperor Zhou Wu's temperament relatively well. "There is no need for Lao He to rebel."
"Who knows me?"
"It's a pity that Lao He doesn't know that you want Prince Yiyong to live more than anyone else. You would rather it was you who died than Prince Yiyong."
"God doesn't have a good eye, so I let my eldest brother go."
"If Prince Yiyong hadn't warned you, you would have given up this job long ago."
Before his death, Prince Yiyong tightly held Emperor Wu of Zhou's hand and repeatedly told him to protect the people and build a strong Zhou Dynasty for the people.
"Although I don't want to be the emperor, now that I have done it, I will naturally take responsibility." Emperor Zhou Wu put away the casual smile on his face and suddenly became very serious, "I will work hard to realize my brother's ideals."
"Your Majesty, to be honest, you are more suitable to be the emperor than the righteous and brave prince."
After hearing this, Emperor Zhou Wu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where do you start talking about this?"
"Prince Yiyong is too idealistic, but you are more pragmatic." Prince Yiyong is very good, but many of his ideas are too idealistic. The emperor is more practical in his work.
Emperor Wu of Zhou did not refute what Xiang He said. Although he kept saying that he hoped that Prince Yiyong was still alive so that he would not have to be the emperor, he always knew in his heart that Prince Yiyong would not do well if he became emperor.
"Your Majesty, this is why God chose you." After He Xiang said this, he immediately changed the subject and said, "Old Liu has arrived in Yangzhou, and soon there will be a bloody storm in Yangzhou."
Prince Yiyong: When did I say that I like to be the emperor and that I want to be the emperor?
Finally, please vote for me!
