In the center of Beijing, the East Gate.
At the time when the dynasty had just come down, there were several generals in the Ministry of War, many civil servants, and famous Confucian scholars in the so-called scholarly community.
Many civil and military officials came to the east of the city just to welcome a prince.
Zhou Ke, the eighth emperor of the current dynasty, had eleven children in total, nine boys and two girls.
Except for Zhou Yan, the youngest king of You, the other princes and princesses are all in various positions. Most of the eight princes serve in the army, either in charge of military equipment, auxiliary troops, in the border army, or in the Zhechong Mansion. Zhou Xiao, the famous twenty-five-year-old son of Zhou Dynasty, didn't even have a single hair, so he was stuck in the fiefdom.
Counting Zhou Xiao's fiefdom in Laizhou, princes of various types and styles were scattered throughout the Zhou Dynasty in the southeast and northwest.
On the east side, that is, the Donghai Zhoushi also has a prince, King Zhou Bi of Zhao.
There are three lanes in the East China Sea, all three of which are close to the sea. The Marine Corps has nine battalions, three battalions in each lane, a total of nine battalions, which are under the jurisdiction of the Marshal's Mansion. The Marshal's Mansion is located next to Youzhou, the fiefdom of King Zhao.
More than a month ago, a military report arrived in the capital, a great victory, about the East China Sea.
At the beginning of spring, Japanese warships launched a large-scale attack. There were sixteen warships, large and small, attacking four cities in a row.
Twelve of them robbed a large number of people and property in the East China Sea and then fled away, while the remaining four were delayed due to wind and waves.
Zhao Wang Zhou Ben personally led the soldiers of the Bingbei Mansion to board the warships and pursue the pursuit. It lasted thirty-nine days and captured one warship. Two hundred and seventy-seven were captured. The people of the East China Sea rejoiced and presented the Ten Thousand People's Umbrella to the local government, asking the government to report to the imperial court. Commend King Zhao.
Three key words, naval battle, chasing the enemy, and prince.
In any other place, let alone a victory of two hundred and seven, even if multiplied by ten times, it would not be considered a great victory.
The East China Sea is different. From the previous dynasty to this dynasty, they were not good at naval warfare. The warships of the navy were rarely able to fight across the sea. Japanese thieves came to plunder every now and then. Many local families and officials colluded with the thieves. The coastal defense line was very long. , impossible to guard against.
Moreover, this pursuit of the enemy shows great prestige.
In the previous dynasty, the navy commanders mostly fought in the coastal areas, passively defending and rarely pursuing the enemy. Once they reached the endless blue sea, the most terrifying thing was not the Japanese warships, but the violent storm and countless enemies on the sea. The danger of the Qing Dynasty is that if you are not careful, your entire army will be wiped out.
You must know that Lao Ba was the commander of the naval division back then, and he knew the situation there very well. He chased four warships, sank three, captured one, and captured more than 200 people. The gold content of this military exploit can be said to be full of rent.
In addition, Lao Ba had some other ideas and wanted to set an example. It happened to be the birthday of Zhou Ben's biological mother, so he recalled Lao San to Beijing.
Don't talk about the emperor, just talk about the civil and military officials in the court, especially the civil servants. If you ask them who is the most rare among the many princes, it must be Lao Sanzhou Ben.
Among the princes with a relatively high appearance rate, the third child has many advantages.
Compared to the eldest brother, Zhou Ben does not have a dark history like the eldest brother Zhou Xiao.
Compared with the second child, Zhou Ben has a longer brain.
Compared to Lao Jiu, Zhou Bi...Zhou Bi has nothing to do with Han You.
In fact, everyone liked Youwang Zhou Yan at first, but in the end, this kid fell down and got mixed up with Han You, and then everyone started to hate him.
In the past, Zhou Yan would visit famous scholars in Beijing and conduct student rituals when he had nothing to do. Now, as soon as he heard someone scolding Han You, he would also visit him. , you reason with him, he gets violent with you, you argue with him about official position, he talks about imperial power, you argue with him about reputation, wherever he lies with you, he will accuse you of beating him to blackmail you, and there will be many ruffians. As rogue as you want, as rogue as you want, as despicable as you want to be rogue.
If everyone has a choice, if you can kill a prince, I don’t know about other places. Anyway, the one in Beijing will definitely choose Lao Jiu. The boss doesn’t matter. What else can you do? Just kill Lao Jiu, a stinky gangster!
Zhou Ben had a fiefdom in the East China Sea, but he did not have military power. He could only control the fiefdom's military preparations. Moreover, this boy had a good reputation. He had read the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child. After so many years, many poems and fine articles were circulated among the scholars. He was a famous scholar and scholar in the Imperial Academy. It could be said that he was sweet-talking, handsome, and rich.
In addition, the biological mother of the third child, Concubine Chen, also has a great background. She is a veteran of three dynasties, and she is an old concubine of three dynasties.
During the previous dynasty, the emperor's father drafted Concubine Chen into the palace. Concubine Chen was only fourteen years old at that time.
In the generation of the previous emperor, who coveted Concubine Chen's beauty so much that he included his little stepmother into the harem.
In the generation of the previous Hunjun's father, Concubine Chen was not favored. After all, she was young and had not grown up. Her main focus was to be pretty. However, in the generation of the previous Hunjun, she was completely grown up. The former Hunjun could not put it down and could not put it down. Rub.
One person was able to ascend to heaven, and Concubine Chen's relatives also came to the capital. However, they were not good at it, acted too arrogantly and offended Ma Rulong. In the end, all Chen family members, including Concubine Chen, were kicked out of the capital and returned to the East China Sea.
It happened that there was a treacherous friend named Zhou Ke in the East China Sea. When he saw that the former imperial concubine was betrothed, he went to hook up with her, and finally they succeeded.
In the end, Lao Sepi ascended the throne as emperor, and Concubine Chen returned to the palace. She served three emperors, and she can be called a human-shaped jade seal.
Some people put eggs in different baskets, and some people put just one. This one is enough. Concubine Chen is such a person. Lao Ba’s predecessors and predecessors did not allow Concubine Chen to give birth. Of the princes and princesses, only Lao Ba did it, and he is now the third prince, King Zhao Zhou Bi.
Concubine Chen congratulated her on her birthday, Zhou Ben had made another military exploit, and Lao Ba was looking toward the east side of the map for nothing, so King Zhao came back to the capital to be greeted by hundreds of officials.
They all came in a private capacity. The ministers stood on the top of the city and reached the end. The short motorcade finally appeared, depicting the temperament of a unicorn fluttering in the wind.
There are a lot of civil and military people, but there are no real big shots, such as the giants of the three provinces, the six ministers, the left and right ministers, and so on. At most, there are two temple ministers. Most of them are doctors and chief ministers. The highest ranking one is the left minister of the Ministry of War. Huang Youwei.
Da Lao Huang is not here to flatter, but because of his responsibility. After all, he is in charge of the Ministry of War, and his military achievements are related to the Ministry of War. He has some details that he wants to ask Zhou Bi.
Some famous scholars and scholars from the capital also came. You must know that Zhou Ben has always claimed to be a scholar. He rarely calls himself the king, but only his students. The Zhao Palace has few military generals, and most of them are scholars. middle man.
The experts all over the world are one family, and this group of people also represent Beijing Zhongshilin and come to greet them.
Again, if you want to ask the civil servants and scholars, including the aristocratic families, who their favorite prince is, it must be Zhou Ben. He is not a virtuous king, but he is already on the path of a virtuous king.
Now that the emperor has renovated Ci'an Palace, he should soon establish a queen. At this juncture, the third prince has been recalled, which inevitably makes people wonder whether he will also establish a prince.
Normally, the crown prince is appointed as the eldest son, but the eldest son has grown old and turned into a child, so Zhou Xiao is 100% out of luck.
The boss is not good, so the second child should be the second child. The second child doesn't have a bone, but he doesn't have a brain either. From the fact that he wants to fuck Han You after returning to Beijing, it can be seen that this guy's IQ is difficult to exceed single digits.
Everyone hates Han Yougui and hates Han You, but no one is stupid enough to go to Four Seasons Villa to find trouble. As soon as the second child comes back, he starts to show off his IQ. Even if the emperor wants to establish the boss, everyone will not agree. IQ is Part of the reason, but the main reason is that the second child also started to hang out with Han You.
Everyone hates anyone who has anything to do with Han You.
If it's not the boss or the second child, it might be the third child.
Upon seeing the convoy, the city gatekeepers and the imperial guards quickly evacuated the crowd to get out of the way.
At the foot of the city, on a tall horse, Han Bairen was picking his nostrils.
After all, half of the Jingwei camp was dispatched. Old Han was sitting in the camp with nothing to do, so he came over to watch the excitement.
"He just killed a few pirates and brought back a broken ship. Such a big battle?"
"Master, please keep your voice down."
Wang Shan raised his head and glanced: "The naval battle formation is extraordinary, different, different."
Han Bairen flicked his fingers and sniffed: "How do you know I don't know how to fight at sea?"
Wang Shan was stunned. After thinking about it for a moment, he showed an inexplicable expression, hehehe.
