Dahan first prince

Chapter 58 Please Don't Say It Out~
After roughly observing the performance of the Northern Army, Liu Bang boarded his own yellow house left banner and drove to Changle Palace.

As the general of the Chinese army who went out this time, Zhou Bo, who had been appointed as a captain by Liu Bang, naturally stayed in the temporary school grounds in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City.

Respectfully sending the imperial chariot away from the school grounds, and slowly heading towards the Changle Palace not far away, Zhou Bo couldn't help turning around quickly, and locked his eyes on Chen Ping who was also planning to leave.

"Qu Nihou."

With a hearty cry, Zhou Bo rushed forward quickly, and gave Chen Ping a big grin.

"Qu Nihou is not in a hurry to leave."

Hearing this, Chen Ping turned his face back a little in horror, cupped his hands anxiously, and immediately looked at Zhou Bo with doubts on his face.

Seeing Chen Ping's reaction like this, Zhou Bo smiled again, scratched his head a little honestly, and looked at Chen Ping with an awkward smile like a child who did something wrong.

"Could it be that Qu Nihou still cares about what happened back then?"

Hearing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then cupped his hands a little awkwardly, with a little elegance on his face.

"Where is Jianghou talking?"

"What happened back then was just a slight misunderstanding. Marquis Jiang is a straightforward person, and I am not a person who cares about everything."

As he said so, Chen Ping felt a little embarrassment welling up in his heart.

The "past events" mentioned by Zhou Bo can be traced back to nearly eight years ago, when Liu Bang, who was the king of Han at that time, also established the Three Qin Dynasty.

At that time, Qu Nihou Chen Ping was still under Xiang Yu's account, a little-known counselor of guest officials.

Eight years ago, that is, in the second year of the Han and Yuan Dynasties, Liu Bang, who dominated the Guanzhong and Sanqin lands, led his army to the east, officially starting the four-year Chu-Han struggle for hegemony.

In the spring of that year, King Sima Ang of Yin betrayed Chu and surrendered to Han, so Xiang Yu granted Chen Ping the title of Xinwu Lord, and ordered Chen Ping to lead Wei Wang Jiu's guests who stayed in Chu to attack Sima Ang, King of Yin who had jumped to Liu Han's camp.

I don't know whether Chen Ping's military quality is too solid, or Yin Wang Sima Ang is too stupid, but Chen Ping, who was going out for the first time, almost effortlessly regained the land of Yin for Xiang Yu.

In order to encourage Chen Ping, Xiang Yu also sent his family relative Xiang Han to worship Chen Ping as the captain, and gave Chen Ping twenty yi (jin) of gold to temporarily station in Yin.

But soon, the main force of the Han army led by Liu Bang went east to Hangu, and also took all the land of Yin into his pocket without any effort.

Upon receiving the news that the land of Yin had been lost, Xiang Yu was furious, and ordered: All the officials and generals of the state of Chu stationed in the land of Yin should be sentenced to death!

In this way, Chen Ping, who was worried about being killed because of losing the land of Yin, had no choice but to escape in desperation. Finally, under the recommendation of Han general Wei Wuzhi①, he joined Han Wang Liu Bang.

Different from the indifference of King Xiang Yu of Chu, Chen Ping received a very high level of courtesy when he was beside Liu Bang.

In order to show his importance, Liu Bang at that time worshiped Chen Ping as the captain, appointed him as a member, and supervised the generals of the three armies on Liu Bang's behalf!

Seeing that Chen Ping was a mere surrendered general, and he was still an unknown general, Liu Bang's old team and brothers were naturally dissatisfied, thinking that Chen Ping was "unworthy of morality".

Therefore, Zhou Bo and other generals who served as Liu Bangyuan's subordinates began to speak ill of Chen Ping around Liu Bang.

What do you accept bribes from the generals? If you don’t bribe, you won’t be entrusted with important responsibilities~
Zhou Bo and others even poured dirty water on Chen Ping, which is extremely destructive in this generation, like "Sister-in-law Robber"!
Although in the end, Chen Ping dispelled Liu Bang's doubts about him by virtue of his three-inch tongue, but this matter was naturally firmly remembered by Chen Ping.

It's just that the suffering master Zhou Bo, after all, was self-prosperous, and he followed Yuan Cong, the current emperor Liu Bang, and was just appointed as a Taiwei, and he was in the limelight.

Zhou Bo took the initiative to ask, even if Chen Ping was annoyed, he could only make a generous gesture, expressing that he didn't mind at all.

Obviously, Zhou Bo's attention did not stay on the point of "whether Chen Ping is still angry with me".

As soon as Chen Ping made a gesture of 'I'm fine', Zhou Bo put his arm on Chen Ping's shoulder without any notice, pulling Chen Ping to a corner where there was no one, like a long-lost friend reunited.

"Hey, Qu Nihou."

"What is your majesty's intention this time?"

Asking with doubts on his face, Zhou Bo stopped in his tracks, looked around unabashedly, made sure that there was no one around, and then looked at Chen Ping again.

"Shouldn't it be a good thing for His Majesty to order the prince to supervise the country?"

"It is His Majesty's intention to let the prince supervise the country, and the position of the prince should be stable."

"However, in recent days, the ministers of the court have said a lot: Your Majesty ordered the crown prince to supervise the country. Is it true that the thought of Yi Chu has not disappeared?"

Having said this, Zhou Bo couldn't help but smiled again, and scratched his head a little shyly.

"Hey, don't be afraid of Qu Nihou's jokes, a certain vulgar warrior really can't see through the twists and turns."

"If the crown prince is able to supervise the country, won't he be able to place cronies in the court and cultivate his wings?"

"This is clearly His Majesty's intention to pave the way for the crown prince, isn't it?"

Hearing Zhou Bo's question, Chen Ping couldn't help hesitating for a while, and finally bowed his head with a chuckle after a while.

"Oh, that's all~"

"Take it as a good relationship, and if you have something to do in the future, you won't have no friends in the court..."

Thinking so, Chen Ping walked forward slowly, and when Zhou Bo also slowly followed him, he smiled and shook his head.

"Jiang Hou knows, thinks, and sees nothing but appearances."

"The crown prince has the power to oversee the country, it seems that His Majesty has a lot of trust, and the crown prince can justifiably place party members and cultivate cronies."

"Actually, it's the exact opposite..."

As he said that, Chen Ping turned his head slightly, and saw that Zhou Bo's doubts were even more serious, so he couldn't help but smile again.

"Jianghou thinks that if your majesty puts down the Chen Xi rebellion, and the class teacher returns to the court, but sees that the court officials are all the humerus arms of the prince, what do you think?"

"By then, Your Majesty, but still Your Majesty?"

"The power of the government should be decided by His Majesty, or the crown prince?"

Speaking of this, Chen Ping couldn't help raising his head subconsciously, looked around sideways, then lowered his voice and said meaningfully: "You must know that when Your Majesty succeeded to the throne as Emperor, the Grand Duke thought of His Majesty's biological father, but His Majesty respected him as the Supreme Emperor. "

"The power of the government is always in the hands of your majesty; although the Supreme Emperor is a respected person, he has to be treated with filial piety by your majesty, and has never been in charge of the court."

"This is the name and the tool, you can't be a dummy..."

Hearing Chen Ping's vague reminder, Zhou Bo couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes."

"Your Majesty and the crown prince have the right to oversee the country, and your Majesty is your Majesty after all."

Hearing Zhou Bo's words that seemed to be talking to himself, Chen Ping nodded slightly, and was about to speak, but saw Zhou Bo leaning up unexpectedly, and intimately clamping Chen Ping's head under his armpit.

"Hey, Qu Nihou."

"This time, His Majesty ordered the crown prince to supervise the country. Is it really a conspiracy offered by you?"

Hearing this question, Chen Ping's heart, which had finally calmed down, was suddenly suspended again.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Ping shook his head bitterly, looking at Zhou Bo with a hint of pleading.

"Your Majesty said yes, we consider ourselves ministers, so how dare we criticize..."

"Just looking at today's events, Jiang Hou can see that I am so humble, and I don't want to tell outsiders."

After speaking, Chen Ping solemnly straightened his clothes, and immediately paid respects to Zhou Bo.

"My lord, let me thank Marquis Jiang first!"
