Personality is really hard to establish, let alone maintain.
Some people set up the design randomly at first, and then they have to set it up for a lifetime. One day, if they don't understand the design clearly, the design will collapse.
King Zhao maintained his character very well. After the convoy entered the city, he was greeted by countless civil and military officials, celebrities and scholars. He took the initiative to get out of the carriage and greeted them one by one. He spoke like an adult, said like a gentleman, and said like a student. He was not arrogant. He is not humble, nor does he act like a prince.
Thinking back to the time when Zhou Tong came to Beijing, he was not afraid of comparing goods, but was afraid of comparing people with each other, and comparing quantities with each other.
The white Confucian robe is spotless, and the face is delicate and handsome. Although his facial features are not as strong as his father Zhou Laoba, they are more in line with the aesthetics of a scholar.
The conversation was elegant and knowledgeable.
Whether a person has ink in his stomach or not can be determined in just a few words.
Casual conversation and constant pleasantries are nothing more than a long trip and a long journey.
After a tiring journey, it is inevitable to talk about the scenery along the way. When talking about scenery, it is necessary to mention humanities. As soon as you start talking, you will know whether there is anything in your stomach. History, philosophy, politics, military, etc., allusions are told one by one from Zhou Ben's mouth. out.
This is a real cultural person, not someone who is particularly stubborn when he opens his mouth. I never care about anything, what kind of thing is asked of me, if you can also do this thing with me, then Thai pants are hot, like It's like a big bad thing, giving people the feeling that they are uneducated and must improve their culture.
In the short journey of three or four miles, from the moment he entered the city, King Zhao Zhou Ben was talking as he walked. Like the stars over the moon, he could talk to others no matter whether he knew them or not, and he could give people a feeling of spring breeze. Feel.
Jingwei was protecting the outside, and only the people were walking around in a hurry, casting only one or two glances at most.
Behind Jingwei was Han Bairen riding a tall horse.
Lao Han had the same "nothing to worry about" expression on his face as always, picking his nostrils, plucking his ears, and spitting.
"Master, can you...can you act like a general of the Zhu Kingdom?"
Wang Shan carefully chose his words. Now Han Bairen has become the general of Zhuguo, guarding the capital and in charge of the eight camps. There is no general of Zhuguo above him. His status is prominent and special. He always picks his nose and it is an eyesore.
"I've been feeling angry these past few days and my nose has become dry. It's none of your business."
Wang Shan remained silent. He just wanted to leave a good impression on King Zhao, in case the other party suddenly turned around.
Sure enough, King Zhao, who was shouting and swarming in front, suddenly stopped and the chatter stopped. Everyone turned back to look at Han Bairen who was riding on the horse.
You don't need to think about it to know that you must have nagged Han You unknowingly, or nagging the Han family.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Han Bairen looked at the sky with his eyes and his nostrils at people.
The only one who still had a gentle smile on his face was Zhao Wang Zhou Ben. He turned around and walked over, taking the lead in saluting.
"General Han's reputation is so great that students admire him for a long time."
The prince took the initiative to say hello, but Han Bairen could only dismount and show a smile that I really don't want to talk to you, but because you are the prince, I can only smile, which is very exaggerated.
"I've seen His Highness, and I won't be able to salute you even if I don't have my armor on me."
"The Han family is loyal and brave. General Zhu Guo defends the capital. The general's son Han You, Han Commander-in-Chief, has deep trust in his father and helps him share his worries. The students admire him very much."
"Your Highness, lift... lift..."
Han Bairen turned to look at Wang Shan, who whispered: "I love you."
"Yes, Your Highness is flattering. The general is a rough man, Your Highness is laughing."
Zhou Ben's smile became even brighter: "Students need to enter the palace first to pay their respects to their father. I'd like to trouble General Han to escort him all the way."
"The responsibility of the general is where the military affairs are, and it should be."
"Students admire General Han. How about General Han accompany me to the palace on foot?"
"this…"
Han Bairen shook his head: "There are many unscrupulous people in the capital, so I will escort you on horseback. It will look brighter."
A strange look flashed across Zhou Ben's face, but it was just a flash, and he was still smiling.
Many people around him were not surprised, because Han Bairen had always been like this.
Zhou Bi meant to invite Han Bairen to accompany him to the palace. It was obviously a sign of intimacy. Most people would have been flattered, but Han Bairen was not an ordinary person.
The prince is nothing. When he was seizing the palace night, which prince was not kicked by Han Bairen twice. When he got down there, he was too embarrassed to say hello to his colleagues.
"That's fine. The general is busy with official duties, so the student won't be forced to do anything difficult."
After bowing his hands and saluting again, Zhou Ben returned to the crowd and continued to talk and laugh with everyone as he walked. However, for some unknown reason or what he talked about with everyone, he turned around and looked at Han Bairen after walking a few steps.
You don't need to think about it to know that someone must be talking about the Han family and his son in a weird way.
Han Bairen bent down and asked in a low voice: "There is a saying on the grassland, it's called... telling the bastard to turn around, either to repay a favor or to take revenge. Is that what it says? Then why does the prince always look back to see what I am doing?"
Wang Shan sighed deeply: "Then tell Lang Ruo to look back."

The palace, the prison.
The imperial palace has always had a sky jail, which seldom held prisoners. Those who were detained were also related to the palace, such as palace maids, eunuchs, guards, etc. who made mistakes. They were private cells of the royal family. Except for various people in the palace who made mistakes, There is another type of person who threatens the safety of the royal family, such as rebels.
The Tianlao is deep in the palace, in the southwest corner, and is guarded by forty-eight guards in shifts, never leaving anyone.
The Tianlao never sees sunlight all year round. It is dark, damp, and smelly. Few people come close to see what's going on.
At this time, outside the prison, Zhou Tianfeng, who was wearing prison clothes and shackled, stood on the land outside, feeling the heat of the sun.
The emperor Zhou Ke was wearing a dragon robe, accompanied by civil and military officials, as if facing a powerful enemy.
Everyone knew that Zhou Tianfeng was superb in martial arts, and Lao Ba kept the imperial guards far away. Only Eunuch Suan guarded Lao Ba.
"After knowing that you were imprisoned in the heavenly prison in this palace, how many people in the palace asked me to speak to you, and they will definitely pry your mouth open."
Lao Ba stood with his hands behind his back. As a winner and a king, he did not need any fancy language or pomp to set off his condescension.
Zhou Tianfeng lost a little weight, but the unruly look on his face did not diminish by half. He closed his eyes slightly and looked at the scorching sun in the sky.
"Just give it a try and let the outside world know that the imperial seal that you, the Emperor of Zhou, deserve is actually in the hands of a rebel."
Lao Ba was not angry: "I won't kill you, not because of the jade seal."
"Then why do you think that one day you will hand over the throne to me, Kang Tianfeng?"
"Be bold!"
Mr. Suan was furious: "Your Majesty, I can't bear what he said. I have to take care of myself today..."
"roll."
"oh."
Staring at Mr. Suan, Lao Ba frowned and looked at Zhou Tianfeng: "There are 20 or 20 families in Nandi who have an affair with you, and there are countless officials. During the search, Han You's men found not only the letters written by you, but also the letters written by you. The East China Sea is mentioned in the article, tell me who in the East China Sea has secretly formed an alliance with the Japanese thieves."
"Third Prince Zhou Bi."
"court death!"
This time it was Lao Ba's turn to get furious. He raised his leg and kicked Zhou Tianfeng. The 1780-pound man Zhou Tianfeng flew backwards. If the shackles hadn't been connected to the big solid iron ball, this kick might have directly kicked him into Newton. Go into the coffin board.
Zhou Tianfeng's chest was burning, he suppressed the surging air, and lay on the ground laughing.
Lao Ba's face looked uncertain.
He had read all the letters between the Nandi rebellious party and Zhou Tianfeng, and some of the letters mentioned some contents. The general meaning was that once Zhou Tianfeng broke through the South Pass, the foreign enemies in the North Pass would also knock on the pass.
Lao Ba was not very surprised about this matter. After all, Ma Rufeng, who was allied with Zhou Tianfeng, ran away and escaped without knowing it. Once he escaped, he might really be able to encourage many foreign races to attack the north.
The problem is that in addition to Beiguan, there are also people on the East China Sea who are plotting something. Once the Northern and Southern Passes of the Great Zhou Dynasty are caught in the flames of war, they will raise their flags and stand on their own. As for who this self-reliant person is, it is unknown. I only know that they are deeply rooted in the East China Sea and have tentacles. Not only did it reach out to various officialdoms, but also to the boat masters in the army.
If there is no obstruction in the South Pass, there will be no problems in the North Pass. If there is nothing in the North Pass, there will be no chaos in the East China Sea.
Neither chaos nor chaos are potential threats. It has been more than a year since Lao Ba took the throne. The three-province system has also made his throne more stable. The court has slowly begun to change its blood, and the same is true for various officialdoms.
Before taking the next step, Lao Ba needed to know who to operate on first. This was why he kept Zhou Tianfeng, and of course, to find out the whereabouts of Yu Xi.
"I know that you are not afraid of death. Not only are you not afraid, you also want to die. But I won't kill you and let you grow old in that dark and deep dungeon. You can't survive, and you can't die. You can't die. A lifetime of torture and suffering is the price for rebelling against me."
After finishing speaking, Lao Ba turned to look at Eunuch Suan: "Look for some masters. Since he wants to rebel against me, although I don't want him to die, I can't let him live so cheaply. I'm going to tell him..."
Before he finished speaking, a guard ran over and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Zhao has entered the palace and asks to see His Majesty."
"So fast?"
The anger in Lao Ba's heart disappeared, he laughed and left.
Not only the civil servants in Beijing like Lao San, Lao Ba also likes Lao San because Lao San has high "educational qualifications", high cultural level, and he speaks well.
