Chapter 104: A raise on fire
After the eldest princess Zhao Yushu followed Li Yuan to Yongzhou, he searched for the old palace of Qin Xianhuang to clean it up and lived with Princess Zhao Yuman of Huating.
This Yongzhou is not as good as Xianyang. Although the old palaces of the former kings of the Qin Kingdom were repaired by all dynasties, time is unforgiving, and some places are too dark and wet. It is really not good for women to live in such a place.
Li Yuan has repeatedly suggested that Zhao Yushu should not look for other places and just move to the county magistrate's office. Anyway, Li Yuan's identity has been made public. The family lives together, and even if they have some gossip, they dare not say anything in front of Li Yuan?
Zhao Yushu mercilessly rejected Li Yuan's little thoughts, and she replied directly: Please come back?
This sentence is too lethal. For Li Yuan, living with an old man who has never lived for life, his realm is not yet high at this level. More importantly, Li Yuan's physical instinct is still vaguely resisting any contact with Li Si. How can a father who has not cared about his son for more than 20 years be respected by his children?
Li Yuan came back from the bank of the Wei River. As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw the Chief Chen Ping greeting him with a smile on his face.
Chen Ping's current mood can be described as the clouds clear and the fog dissipates before the sun is sunny. Although Yongqi is not big, he still has more than 200,000 people. If it was a period of small countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, Chen Ping could be regarded as the prime minister of a country.
Guan Zhong, Wu Zixu———the famous generals of the Spring and Autumn Period were the objects of imitation in Chen Ping’s heart. Now, he is constantly working towards this goal.
"Monday, we have news from the interlude where we stayed in Xianyang. Liu Bang's army was stationed in Bashang and Xiang Yu's army was stationed in Hongmen. The two sides were tense and had a bad relationship. Our plan to lure the enemy was about to be accomplished." Chen Ping was full of energy, and his beautiful eyes flashed with joy after the trick succeeded.
"Xiang Jun has arrived at Hongmen. Maybe a good show is about to start. It's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes!" Li Yuan thought.
Is the Hongmen Banquet a drama that is very popular in history, which beautifies Liu Bang and vilifies Xiang Yu, about to be staged? This time, without supporting role Fan Kuai, I don’t know who will replace this role on Liu Bang’s side, but Xiang Yu and the other side continue to act according to the original script or have a new and different role. Thinking of this, Li Yuan suddenly became a little fascinated.
"Monday, although we cannot go to Hongmen, we can also add a torch. I have ordered someone to reveal the news that Xiang Bo and Zhang Liang have a close relationship with each other to Fan Zeng, who is a father of Xiang Yu. I believe that Fan Zeng will make good use of this information." Chen Ping showed a cunning look on his face, and it was impolite to come but not go. Since Liu Bang could instigate the surrendered general Qi Ji to invade Yong Qi, Chen Ping did not mind using the same trick to give Liu Bang a stumbling block.
Xiang Bo lived a very comfortable life in history. By betraying Xiang's intelligence, Xiang Bo was also treated preferentially by Liu Bang after Xiang Yu's Chu regime was destroyed.
Such a shameless villain is surrounded by Xiang Yu's side and is an elder of the same sect. If Xiang Yu is undefeated, it will be really unreasonable.
Now, the Hongmen Banquet is about to begin, and Xiang Bo is probably running for Zhang Liang and Liu Bang. I don’t know if he will block Xiang Zhuang’s sword with his body. If he did this, with Chen Ping’s information and Fan Zeng’s shrewdness, he would not be unable to see the mystery. Chen Ping believes that Xiang Bo’s double-faced spy life might be over.
Of course, this also makes it possible to determine whether Xiang Yu has the courage to make decisions. Compared with Liu Bang, who was alone with his brothers, Xiang Yu relied on the power of the Xiang clan. In this regard, he had innate shortcomings than Liu Bang.
"Is Fan Zeng? He only has the name of his father, but he has no tolerance. Xiang Yu succeeds and Fan Zeng, and Fan Zeng will lose in the future." Li Yuan replied with a sigh. Li Yuan still knew the fate and endings of some famous historical figures. Fan Zeng's personality was extreme. Even though he was wise, he hoped that Xiang Yu would listen to him alone. This made a group of people who wanted to join Xiang Yu to show their talents could only leave sadly. Among them, the most famous one was Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin.
At this time, Han Xin should have been in Xiang Yu's army. I wonder if he, as the doctor in front of the tent, felt extremely depressed.
——.
Hongmen is more than 300 miles away from Yongzhou.
The ancient Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions is more than 600 miles away from Yongzhou.
From the perspective of distance, the closeness seems to be more important than the farthest, but the counterattack of Guanzhong is just an unrealistic fantasy for Li Yuan. Now, the important thing for Li Yuan is to manage the small area of Yongqi well, so as not to let the 200,000 people who follow him go hungry. At the same time, if conditions permit, gradually expand westward, and strive to open up the ancient Silk Road in the Hexi Corridor before the Huns.
Re-establishing a powerful Qin State is also a long-term task.
He must be able to endure loneliness.
Waiting for more than 500,000 anti-Qin army to eat the land of Guanzhong, waiting for Xiang Yu, Liu Bang felt that he was homesick and could no longer loot anything from Qin, and retreated back to Guandong.
Compared with Guanzhong, the Hexi Corridor to the west is a realistic goal for Li Yuan.
Trade is the fastest way to get rich.
To the west of Qin, the powerful Persian Empire began to collapse, and kingdoms such as Anxi, Daxia, and Kushan emerged one after another, and were fighting one after another on the land of Central Asia. On the European continent further west, a country called "Western Qin" is gradually emerging, and it also has a name: Rome.
"General, the eldest princess wants to see you if you have something to do."
Just as Li Yuan and Chen Ping were drawing up a blueprint for the future, a personal soldier ran in to report the report.
"Ha, it's really hard for the county magistrate. Chen has something to do. Su Niang called me for a long time. If she doesn't go back, her family will be in a mess." Chen Ping laughed and walked outside while laughing.
Something is there.
If you want others to know, don’t do it yourself.
As a modern person, free admiration is the norm, and for the Qin people, there is actually not so much etiquette. Only Confucianism can some statements about the female Jean of Arc and reputation. Of course, Confucius only mentioned it and did not interpret it more.
Those who truly made Confucianism a chain to imprison women were Dong Zhongshu of the Western Han Dynasty and Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty.
