Han Shizu

Chapter 1207 Three Youths
In March of the seventh year of Kaibao, Zhao Guogong Liu Fang got married, and the object of marriage was the young lady of Dongping King Zhao Kuangzan's family.There is no doubt that this is an arranged marriage of the right family, a political marriage. In this regard, Liu Fang also had to listen to the arrangement.

As a matter of fact, regarding Liu Fang's marriage, Emperor Liu had given more thought to it.Many officials and nobles in the court also took the initiative to recommend their daughters, but most of them were rejected.

Empress Fu was also a bit concerned about this, originally she intended to choose a good match from among the relatives of the Fu family.After thinking about it, Emperor Liu originally agreed, but Liu Fang later took the initiative to say that he fell in love with Zhao Yuan, the second daughter of the Dongping royal family.

After thinking about it, Emperor Liu felt that it was appropriate, so he decisively called Zhao Kuangzan into the palace and settled the marriage.The reason why he chose Zhao Kuangzan was very simple. He no longer had any foundation in the Han army, and the original Yan army had also been completely digested in more than ten years.

For Liu Fang, Emperor Liu actually didn't want him to get too involved with the military nobles, which might be a form of protection.And intentionally let him accept the daughter of the Fu family, and he also had a similar idea.

As the biological mother, Concubine Zhexian seemed to take this lightly. She only wanted a virtuous daughter-in-law. As for other political factors, she didn't want to think too much about it.

At the same time as Liu Fang's wedding, the fifth prince, Liu Yun, was finally able to leave the palace and open the mansion, and was granted the title of Duke of Qi.It seems that this March belongs to Concubine Zhexian, and in Xijing, the two sons she gave birth to are the most eye-catching.

Liu Yun is a smart kid, which can be seen from an early age, that is, he is too eccentric, energetic but scattered, and has a wide range of interests without persistence.Although he was not valued as much as his older brothers, Emperor Liu still put him in shackles when he was released from the palace.For example, restricting the payment of salaries, finding a strict teacher to discipline, and regularly checking schoolwork
In contrast, it was the younger Wei Wang Liu Min who reassured Emperor Liu even more.Emperor Liu also discovered that this son was slow in speech but quick in action.Because he also likes martial arts, and he has already developed excellent riding and shooting skills at a young age, Emperor Liu also let him enter the army to train.

It seems to be earlier than Liu Fang, but between the two, the effort and emotion that Emperor Liu devoted is also very different. For Liu Fang, Emperor Liu hopes that he can become a qualified commander in the future.

Speaking of which, for so many years, among the great Han clan, there has never been a handsome man who can lead the army independently. This is what Emperor Liu regrets, and it is also the reason why he has high expectations for Liu Fang.

"Your Highness!"

"What's the matter?" Liu Yang was writing something with a pen, when he heard the sound, he looked up at Tong Shi who was saluting.

"Yang Yanzhao, Li Jilong, and Guo Yi were ordered to return to the capital, and they have arrived in Beijing today, and I request to see His Majesty!" Tong Shi replied.

Hearing this, Liu Yang was very interested, and immediately asked, "Where is the man?"

"Wait for the palace gate!"

"Send someone to take them to the Chui Gong Hall, and I will go there and lead them to face the Holy Spirit!" Liu Yang put down his pen and ordered directly.

"Yes!"

The origins of these three people are not difficult to guess. They are the sons of Yang Ye, Li Chuyun, and Guo Wei, and they are all about 20 years old, young heroes.

In recent years, in the Han military circle, the generals of the Mesozoic generation have been the mainstay, and the latecomers are also promoted, but for the next generation of generals, Emperor Liu is also cultivating.And the main personnel among them are naturally selected from among the noble children. Their good backgrounds also give them a high start, and they have a high rate of success, which Emperor Liu also admitted.

Regardless of literature and martial arts, most of the honored children have the experience of being on duty in the palace, such as Suwei and Chongzheng Lang back then.During the several wars during the Kaibao years, many honored children also experienced with the army.

Those who followed Yang Ye to the north were actually the sons of veterans such as Xiang Xun and Sun Li, but it was Yang, Li, and Guo who performed the best in the end.

Yang Yanzhao has followed Yang Ye since he was a child, teaching by precept and example, and has experienced wars at a young age, and has a deep understanding of wars, large and small, and various tactics.It's still early to become famous. When he was about ten years old, he got attention because of Emperor Liu's praise. After growing up, he also proved through his outstanding performance that this is not a role that "hurts Zhong Yong".

Yang Yanzhao was based in the frontier, while Li Jilong became famous in Beijing.Among Xungui's children, Zhao Guangyi and Chai Zongyi were the most beautiful and famous in their early years.However, after they became officials one after another, among the newly grown group of people, the one who took over the banner was Li Jilong.

This son is smart, very brainy, and has also shown talent in martial arts.The first to become famous was in the second year of Kaibao, when Emperor Liu went hunting. At that time, Li Jilong, who was only 15 years old, beat everyone and gained the most.

In comparison, Guo Yi is not that famous, but her own talent is not bad. After all, Guo Wei is the most beloved youngest son, and he has cultivated literary and martial arts since childhood.As far as the holy family is concerned, Guo Yi is far superior to others. Even now, the jade pendant on Guo Yi's waist is still given by Emperor Liu when he was a baby.

When he arrived at the Chuigong Palace under the guidance of the palace people, Liu Yang just arrived, accompanied by a heroic young man with a sword.The young man is Ma Huaiyu of Fufeng County, the son of the late Ma Quanyi of Ji State. Because of Ma Quanyi's early death, Emperor Liu felt sad and felt sorry for Ma Huaiyu's loneliness. He specially summoned him to Beijing to raise him in the palace.

It has been almost ten years since now. The childish child at the time has gradually grown up. He learned literature and martial arts with the princes, earnestly and low-key, and now serves as a guard beside the prince Liu Yang.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Seeing the Crown Prince, the three young heroes saluted together.

Liu Yang also showed that kind of modesty, with a smile on his face, he quickly stepped forward, helped the three of them up, and said, "Yuan Xian, Tyranny, and Zimei, please forgive me!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Several people were considered to be of the same age, and they had also met before, so they couldn't be said to be too familiar with the prince, but Liu Yang's attitude was still very useful to the three young people.

Looking at the three of them, Liu Yang took Yang Yanzhao's hand directly, and said heartily: "Your Majesty and Gu are very happy to learn that you are returning to Beijing. Let's go, let's enter the palace together to see you!"

"Yes!"

In the Chuigong Hall, Emperor Liu was discussing matters with Chai Zhao, there was no one else but Ping Liaoer.Not long ago, Yunnan played again. Wang Renshan led the army and took down the whole territory of Dali. Now, except for a small number of remnants, bandits, and remote tribes who have not surrendered, the overall situation of Yunnan has been settled.

Next, what needs to be done is to return to the system, maintain law and order, and gradually clear the territory while maintaining the overall stability.These, Wang Renshan and Quan Shixiong will implement.

The southwest matter can be said to have come to an end for the time being, then the court's eyes can also be withdrawn and turned to the north.In the current situation, among the four territories of the Han Dynasty, only the Liao Kingdom in the north is worthy of attention.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and within the vast territory of China, there cannot be two unified powers.No one wants peace, but the combination of Liao Hu and Han's military and political systems is doomed to be difficult for Emperor Liu to tolerate it.

Even if it is not for his personal aspirations and ambitions, even if it saves some trouble for future generations, he will destroy Liao. Even if he can't destroy it, he will break it and analyze it.

When Liu Yang personally led Yang Yanzhao, Li Jilong, and Guo Yi into the audience, no surprise, he really showed a happy smile, and it was from the heart.

The three young men stood respectfully in the hall, while Emperor Liu seemed to have seen some treasure, his beard trembling with laughter, he patted Yang Yanzhao's shoulder, beat Li Jilong's chest, and touched Guo Yi's back.
"Come on, look at these three juniors!" Emperor Liu greeted Chai Zhao, and said with a smile, "The future generals of the great man are among the three!"

This is Emperor Liu, making no secret of his high hopes for the three young men
