The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 77 The Loyal Man
Jizhou.

Qinghe Kingdom, Tobu City.

Liu Bian and his party headed west from Bingzhou all the way, entered Jizhou, and went directly to the foot of Dongwu City.

Liu Bian came here this time to meet someone. Before Zhao Zhong died, his constant servant Zhao Zhong had a last word: If His Majesty is in trouble, you can go to Dongwu City to seek refuge. Zhao Bao is a loyal minister, and his son Zhao Chen is also loyal. If His Majesty goes to seek refuge, he will do everything in his power to help His Majesty out of danger.

Zhao Bao is Zhao Zhong's younger brother, and the two are cousins.

Zhao Bao is definitely a good official with a heart for the people. When he was in charge of the Guangling Order, the officials were clear and clear, and the Guangling was governed so that they did not pick up the roads and closed the house at night. Encountering the Xianbei people who went south to invade the border, and hearing that Xianbei was going south to invade the border, Zhao Bao personally led [-] horsemen, and confronted the Xianbei people outside the city.

Seeing this, the Xianbei people wanted to use their mother as a hostage to force Zhao Bao to lead his army to surrender.

Looking at his mother who was taken hostage, Zhao Bao wailed loudly and said: "The son was kind-hearted, and wanted to support his mother with a meager court salary, but he didn't want to kill his mother. Before I became an official, I was your son, but when I became an official, I was your son." Afterwards, I was a courtier of the imperial court. As a matter of loyalty to the emperor, my son did not dare to abolish the public for private reasons.

Zhao's mother heard the words, not disobedient, but happy, so she said righteously: "Weihao, everyone has their own fate, why should we care about each other, in order to lose loyalty. In the past, the mother of the king's mausoleum used the sword to strengthen his ambition. Encourage it."

Zhao's mother encouraged Zhao Bao with the allusion of Mausoleum Fu's sword.

Hearing this, Zhao Bao immediately commanded the army to launch an attack on the Xianbei people. The soldiers were grateful for Zhao Bao's loyalty and fought bravely to the death.

After Zhao Bao's death, his son Zhao Chen had no intention of becoming an official, so he sold his property and returned to Tobu City with his wife and children to become a rich man who doesn't care about world affairs.

Liu Bian took out a jade pendant from his bosom, handed it to Chai Shao, and said, "Take this jade pendant and go to the Zhao Mansion to meet Zhao Chen. After he sees the jade pendant, he will come out of the city to meet me."

"promise."

Chai Shao responded and left.

After beheading Hua Xiong, when Liu Bian and his party were on their way, they no longer had the sense of urgency of being chased before, and the princes from all walks of life led their troops to Hulao Pass to fight Dong Zhuo. It relieved a lot of pressure for Liu Bian and his party.

After about a stick of incense time.

Chai Shao went and returned, followed by a rich man with a big belly, and this person was Zhao Chen.

When the two came close, Zhao Chen rolled off the saddle very clumsily, and quickly walked in front of Liu Bian, asking in a trembling voice, "Is the person here your Majesty?"

Liu Bian let out a miserable laugh, got off his horse, walked up to Zhao Chen, took him by the hand and walked along the moat, saying: "The Dong thief messed up the government, abolished the establishment without authorization, demoted me to Hongnong King, and then If you don't give up, you want to send someone to kill me with poison."

As Liu Bian spoke, he pouted his lips to Li Ru behind him with a smile, then patted the jug hanging on his waist again, and said, "The jug is still here."

Hearing this, Zhao Chen blinked in confusion, and suddenly felt that his head was not enough.

"I came here this time to see if there are any loyal people in your Zhao family?" Liu Bian said.

Liu Bian fell behind, but heard a plop, Zhao Chen knelt down on the ground without hesitation, cupped his fists and saluted and said, "Although Chen is worthless, he dare not forget his loyalty to the emperor. Your Majesty has a mission, and I will never refuse to die."

Hearing this, Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction, then stretched out his hand to help him up, and said: "Now there is a shortage of people around me, I wonder if Mrs. Zhao is willing to bear the pain and give up?"

Hearing this, Zhao Chen nodded without hesitation, and said: "I will order people to burn Zhuangzi now. In the days to come, I am willing to accompany His Majesty's side and lead the horse and kick for His Majesty."

"It's not clear what to do, how can I make you suffer with me?"

While Liu Bian was very moved, he couldn't bear to drag the loyal Zhao Chen into the water, so he politely rejected his proposal.

Zhao Chen looked at Liu Bian firmly, and said firmly, "I still have a son in my family who can inherit the family business, so I asked him to serve my wife at home. I am willing to sell the property and travel around the world with Your Majesty."

Liu Bian smiled dumbly, and said: "I don't want your property, what I want is people, is there anyone in your family who can ride a horse?"

"Have."

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Northern people are good at riding. There are more than [-] tenants and Zhuang Ding in the minister's family, who can be used by Your Majesty."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Ru who was standing behind suddenly looked sideways at Yang Xiu, and said, "Good guy, a shabby household like the Zhao family has hundreds of tenants and lords, then you How many people does the Yang family of four generations and three fathers have to support?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiu cast a cold glance at Li Ru and said, "None of your business."

Li Ru made a fuss in front of Yang Xiu, but he was not annoyed at all. In fact, he had already achieved his goal, because what he said just now was for Liu Bian.

Before meeting Yang Xiu, Li Ru wanted to get into the family circle with all his heart, but after getting along with Yang Xiu for a period of time, he completely gave up such an idea.

In the dead of night, after some careful consideration, Li Ru found a very accurate position for his future. The meaning of his existence is to help Liu Bian suppress those powerful family forces.

To borrow a saying from later generations: only magic can defeat magic.

Li Ruxin is a poisonous man with a black hand. He is a well-known poisoner in the world, and he still owes Liu Bian a huge favor. He was very courteous, and he would feel a little embarrassed if he didn't pay back this favor with his life.

When Li Ru looked at Liu Bian again, he found that Liu Bian was also looking at him with a smile. Li Ru looked at him, but Liu Bian winked at him very playfully.

Li Ru was startled, then lowered his head silently, with a faint smile on his lips, and said in his heart: "I don't think His Majesty still has such a lively side. If he didn't make that expression just now, I would have almost forgotten him." It's just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old kid."

Li Ru thought about it, but suddenly his face froze, his eyes flickered, and he was startled in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty? Did I just say Your Majesty?"

Li Ru suddenly fell into deep self-doubt.

Just as Li Ru bowed his head and was thinking wildly, Zhao Chen had summoned fifty Zhuang Ding to meet Liu Bian and said, "My lord, these are all good players with one as ten. I can assure you that they will never have two hearts, my lord." Just feel free to use it.”

In front of his family, Zhao Chen didn't dare to call Liu Bian His Majesty anymore, but deliberately changed his title.

Seeing Zhao Chen's confident appearance, Liu Bian was too embarrassed to speak out against his enthusiasm, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Stay in Dongwu City, recruit strong men for me, and teach him riding and archery in secret. Skill, after he is able to master the riding skill proficiently, I will send someone to come to contact you."

"promise."

Zhao Chen saluted in response.
