The palace knew that King Zhao would return to Beijing today, and Wenwu also informed the imperial guards in advance and brought the third child to Jingzhi Hall.
This was also Zhou Ben's first time entering the palace. After entering, he looked around and couldn't hide his excitement.
In other words, in addition to hoping that the son will succeed, one can also hope that the father will succeed.
Who would have thought that the always inconspicuous father would suddenly transform into a wealthy emperor, the father of the people in the world, and he himself would become a noble bloodline and prince of the Tian family.
Walking all the way to Jingzhi Hall, even though Zhou Xiao was extremely stable, he could not hide the excitement on his face.
I didn't feel anything when I was in the fiefdom. It was just that there were always people coming to visit me, and people called me Prince and Your Highness.
Arriving at the center of the capital, the closer they got, the officials along the way went out of the city early to welcome him and set up a banquet. When they arrived at the center of the capital, officials involved in the central government affairs of the country and famous Confucian scholars all over the world came to welcome him.
This feeling really made Zhou Ben intoxicated, fascinated and enjoying it.
Not long after Zhou Ben arrived at Jingzhi Hall, his father Zhou Ke arrived.
Stepping into Jingzhi Hall, Lao Ba laughed loudly.
"My Qilin."
Zhou Ben turned around, his eyes a little moist, and knelt on his knees to salute.
This was the first time father and son met after Lao Ba ascended the throne. Both of them were quite excited, Zhou Ben even more so.
"stand up."
Lao Ba walked over quickly and helped Zhou Ben up.
"Father, my son... I miss you."
This short sentence already contains thousands of thoughts.
"Don't I miss Xiao'er... No, I miss Bi'er."
The smiling father-in-law beside him was speechless.
After all, Wen Wu had been in charge of the Yidao Guards before. Although there was no formal staff, there would at least be some eunuchs and guards who came out of the palace to inquire about some information.
Eunuch Suan knew that the foreign ministers and scholars all liked Lao Sanzhou Ben better.
But these are just foreign ministers and scholars. Wenwu knew very well that whether this group of unrelated people liked him or not depended on whether he liked it or not.
The eighth child likes the third child, but he prefers Zhou Xiao, the eldest prince of Qin who is the number one rebel in Zhou Dynasty.
The relationship between father and son is so strange. Sometimes the one that dad likes is not necessarily the most obedient and well-behaved, but the most rebellious, rebellious and tormenting one.
He is obedient and will be scolded if he makes a mistake once.
He was disobedient and suddenly showed filial piety. My father was moved to tears and wished he could die where he was and give him all his inheritance.
Zhou Xiao is the eldest son. As the first son, Lao Ba not only poured a lot of blood and flesh into him, but also poured a lot of time and energy into him.
As the saying goes, the first litter should be raised according to the book, the second litter should be raised as pigs, the third and fourth litters can be free-range, and after the fifth litter, it can be raised directly.
Precisely because Zhou Xiao has been with Zhou Ke since he was a child, he is proficient in all aspects of literary, Taoist and military strategy, especially the methods of leading troops and training troops. Not only did he get the essence of what Lao Ba taught him, he was also able to find new ways.
What really satisfies Lao Ba is that Zhou Xiao has understood the principle of being more refined than miscellaneous since he was a child. After passing the passing line in the art of war and other arms, he specializes in cavalry, how to train cavalry, how to use cavalry, and learn the formations and formations surrounding cavalry. The Art of War and so on.
The cavalry consumes the most money and food and is the most difficult to train, but it is also the most powerful unit.
In addition, I thought Zhou Xiao had rebelled before, but in fact he was a fake traitor and had sacrificed a lot, even his life. This really moved Lao Ba beyond words.
Therefore, among the many princes, Lao Ba's favorite is Zhou Xiao.
Maybe Lao Ba was a bit mean. At first, he was surprised that Han You also liked this kid who could "talk back" and yin and yang with him.
The five fingers stretched out may be long or short. It is inevitable that Lao Ba also likes Lao San very much, but he just feels that Zhou Ben is not as brave and good at fighting as Zhou Xiao.
"Give me a seat and call Concubine Chen here."
After Lao Ba helped Zhou Bi up, he sat back behind the desk with a smile on his face: "After the Ministry of War got your military report, Concubine Chen was worried all day long. She also said that your child is a weak scholar. The blue sea is rough and dangerous. You are so dangerous." The child not only chased the enemy, but also fell into the sea, causing Concubine Chen to worry so much that she shed tears every day."
"My son knows his fault and should not cause his mother and concubine to worry."
Zhou Ben laughed dryly, then clenched his fists and said: "But you don't know something, father, how rampant the Japanese thieves are. Warships stand on the coast. The thieves are so powerful that they slaughter the people, kidnap women and children, and plunder countless goods. The boat master didn't do anything... The boat master was unable to resist the enemy. After knowing this, I still couldn't sit still. I ordered the guards of the feudal government and seconded half a battalion of the boat master's officers and pursued them. How could I let the Japanese thieves escape with ease?"
"Well said, you are worthy of my heirs. The shame of the army protecting the country is not defeat. Victory and defeat are common things for soldiers. The most fearful and shameful thing is not to fight, but to fight cowardly. You have done well, but you must not do this in the future. It’s dangerous.”
"My son...my son, please remember this."
Wen Wu came over with a tea tray, and Zhou Ben quickly stood up: "Thank you, General Wen."
Just this "Thank you" and the title of "General Wen" are enough to show his quality and cultivation, unlike some birdies who open their mouths like eunuchs and keep their mouths shut.
As a close servant of the emperor, many people in the outer dynasty wanted to please civil and military officials. They talked about how Eunuch Wen served the emperor and how Eunuch Wen did his best for the emperor.
Little did they know that it was all flattery. Fundamentally speaking, Wenwu was not a eunuch, and he also despised the profession of eunuch. The reason why he became an eunuch was due to many reasons that were not humane to outsiders. When Lao Ba ascended the throne, In such a large palace, he only trusted civil and military officials.
Therefore, Wen Wu would rather be called General Wen instead of Eunuch Wen.
While waiting for Concubine Chen, Lao Ba began to ask about Zhou Ben's situation in the fief, people's livelihood and so on.
Zhou Ben spoke in a straight-to-the-point manner, but always wanted to "remind" his father to ask more about going to sea to pursue the Japanese thieves.
Lao Ba couldn't help but laugh. In fact, he could guess a lot about the so-called victory in chasing the enemy at sea by just glancing at the military newspaper.
The warships of the Ying thieves are divided into two types, one is the official warship of Yingdao, and the other is the privateer ship.
It is impossible for warships to sail directly to the East China Sea, which is equivalent to declaring war. Whether the Zhou Dynasty is good at naval warfare or not, it will have to mobilize the whole country to build a large number of sea ships to defeat the Japanese pirates.
The warships that often appear in the East China Sea are privateers, which are the so-called pirates. In fact, many of these pirates and pirates also have officers and soldiers from Yingdao. Everyone sees through it without telling them and they come here to train.
Privateers will not appear alone in the East China Sea. There are usually more than a dozen or more than twenty ships in a fleet. The fleet has a flag ship and serves as a scout. They first explore the situation, stroll along the coastline, and then It was a real warship. It formed a defense line at the landing point. The Han naval division warships arrived and attacked, with a large number of Japanese archers on board.
If the fleet is defeated or the navy fails to come, the fleet will dock. A large number of Japanese thieves will set foot on land and plunder along the way. They will burn, kill, and loot without hesitation. When enough goods have been plundered, they will evacuate, and the loot will be loaded into the ship. The cargo ships, that is, the three to five largest ships, are not used for naval warfare, but only carry cargo.
Usually the cargo ship is the last to leave, and it is the cargo ship that Zhou Ben catches up with.
The only way these cargo ships can fight is to shoot arrows, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as the navy's warships. In addition, the cargo is heavy and the speed is not fast. After being caught up by Zhou Xiao, it is almost equivalent to being beaten and running away while being beaten.
Therefore, this great victory in the East China Sea is very important.
The East China Sea side is probably to give the prince a face, and it needs to inspire the people. As for the so-called Ten Thousand People Umbrella, the people of the three East China Sea areas are rejoicing. How can I say this? It is similar to a city happiness survey. I can only say it is very special. It's true, after all, people are used to being represented.
Lao Ba smiled, asked, and listened.
After all, he is his own son, and Donghai Seafood rarely gets good results, so Lao Ba just turns a blind eye. Is it just for publicity? It doesn't matter.
However, when Lao Sanzhou Ben "showed off" in front of Lao Ba, he was playing a trick in front of a big sword, which was too much.
In front of outsiders, Zhou Ben is well-educated, somewhat reserved and reserved. In front of his father, he is like a child who has just received a little red flower, talking with joy and waiting for praise and praise from his father.
Wen Wu laughed beside him, feeling quite helpless in his heart.
When Lao Ba first debuted, the Wen brothers had been hanging out with him, and they had also been to the East China Sea. There was more than one professional, Zhou Ke, and Wen Wu also understood what the so-called naval battles and Japanese bandits were about.
There were only three people in the hall, one who went out to sea for the first time to pursue a cargo ship, and two owners who had gone out to sea to pursue warships countless times. They were boasting loudly, which was really ridiculous.
"Bier."
With a scream, Concubine Chen, known as the humanoid jade seal, appeared, with red eyes, and ran in holding up her skirt.
