The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 161 To tell you the truth, you are more suitable to be emperor than Prince Yiyong.

Emperor Wu of Zhou appeared in the mansion in ordinary clothes, "It's so strange that you would take the initiative to see me."

The middle-aged man didn't talk nonsense to Emperor Wu of Zhou, and asked directly: "Xiongnu, what are you going to do?"

Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Emperor Wu of Zhou frowned slightly in surprise: "Xiao Shi told you."

The middle-aged man looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou mockingly: "Befriend Wusun and rely on Wusun, you really have a brain."

Emperor Wu of Zhou ignored the yin and yang of the middle-aged man, "He took the initiative to make friends with us, why did he refuse? Besides, I didn't expect Wusun to resist the Xiongnu."

"Your plan."

"I have already sent people to the Huns, at least within the next five years, the Huns will not have any plans to go south."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "You are the best at playing tricks." Although Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't say anything just now, the middle-aged man guessed what Emperor Wu of Zhou was planning.

Regarding the "compliment" of the middle-aged man, Emperor Wu of Zhou accepted it generously: "Thank you for the compliment."

The middle-aged man sneered.

"That's why you called me here?" Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at the middle-aged man jokingly, "Are you worried about the Huns going south?"

The middle-aged man looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou coldly, without speaking.

"If the Xiongnu really go south, what are you going to do?" Emperor Wu of Zhou asked, "Do you want to drive the Huns away in person?"

The middle-aged man said indifferently: "I will not fight for you."

"Old He, you should know who took the country name [Da Zhou], and you should also know the meaning of the country name [Zhou]." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "Once the Xiongnu go south, Da Zhou will become unstable." An Ning, can you bear it?"

No one understands the meaning of the country name [Da Zhou] better than a middle-aged man.Because he was the first person to hear about this country name.

Back then, when Prince Yiyong took the title of the country, he thought about many words, and finally chose to use [Zhou] as the title of the country.At that time, he also asked the master why he used the word "Zhou".

The master said that [Zhou] means comprehensive, and it also means that the cycle goes back and forth, and the meaning is endless.He hopes that after the Great Zhou is established in the future, the Great Zhou can protect the people's life and make them live a stable and happy life.The most important thing is to hope that the establishment of the Great Zhou can bring new hope to the people.

"I suddenly remembered that you have never fought against the Huns. If you are afraid of the Huns and dare not go to the battlefield, it is normal."

Middle-aged men ignored Emperor Zhou Wu's childish and low-level provocative methods.

Although he had never fought against the Huns, the middle-aged man did not take the Huns seriously.

"You still have five years to prepare. During these five years, you can study the Huns well."

The middle-aged man still ignored Emperor Wu of Zhou.

"By the way, didn't you say you were going to kill my little ten?" Zhou Wudi looked at the middle-aged man teasingly, "Today, little ten came to see you, why didn't you kill him?"

The middle-aged man sneered: "Didn't you prevent your youngest son from appearing in front of me?"

"I didn't know this kid was looking for you."

"He's here, don't you know?" There are many secret guards in the house where the middle-aged man lives.This place is monitored by the dark guards, who entered and what happened, the dark guards will report to Emperor Wu of Zhou in detail.

As soon as Zhao Yao entered this house, Emperor Zhou Wu in the palace would receive the news.

Emperor Wu of Zhou was not surprised at all that Zhao Yao came to find a middle-aged man as soon as he took a rest.

"I didn't know until he arrived." Zhou Wudi said very frankly, "I just want to see if you will really kill Xiao Shi."

The middle-aged man looked at Emperor Zhou Wu with serious eyes.

"I knew you were reluctant to kill Xiao Shi." Emperor Wu of Zhou crossed his chin with his hands and raised his eyebrows at the middle-aged man, "Isn't my Xiao Shi very cute, isn't he likable?"

"More likable than you." The middle-aged man said coldly, "He really doesn't look like your son. How can someone as sinister and vicious as you give birth to such a cute son?"

"Hahahaha..." Emperor Wu of Zhou laughed loudly, "I knew you would like Xiao Shi."

The middle-aged man was not annoyed or embarrassed by being seen through, "He is not like you." What he meant was that if Zhao Yao was like Emperor Wu of Zhou, he would definitely not like it.

"It's not like Zhen, but it's also Zhen's own son." Emperor Wu of Zhou said proudly.

Seeing Emperor Zhou Wu's proud appearance, the middle-aged man felt very disgusted in his heart, and unceremoniously chased away the guest: "You can get out."

"Don't, I just came here, let's talk again."

"I have nothing to talk to you about."

"Who said that? We can talk about Xiao Shi." Emperor Zhou Wu winked at the middle-aged man, "I can tell you about Xiao Shi."

"I don't want to hear it."

"I want to say."

Regardless of whether the middle-aged man was willing to listen or not, Emperor Wu of Zhou told the middle-aged man a lot about Zhao Yao very "toughly".

After listening for a while, the middle-aged man felt that Emperor Wu of Zhou was too noisy, and ordered him to evict him again.

Emperor Wu of Zhou was ruthlessly driven out of the house.He stood at the door of the house with an expression that was still unfinished.

"I haven't finished talking yet, why did he drive me out?"

Sun Kui said in his heart: That person thinks you are too noisy and annoying.

"Your Majesty, don't you always despise His Highness the Tenth Highness for being stupid? Why have you been praising His Highness the Tenth?" Just now when he heard the emperor's praise of His Highness the Tenth Highness, he couldn't believe that the words came from the emperor's mouth.

"I have to let Lao He know how good Xiao Shi is, so that Lao He will like Xiao Shi even more."

Sun Kui wanted to let that person like His Highness the Tenth Highness, but he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Your Majesty, are we going back to the palace now, or going somewhere else?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Lao He's house."

He Xiang was loosening the soil for his precious orchid, and was startled when he saw Emperor Wu of Zhou coming.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"I'll drop by to see you."

He Xiang personally brought a cup of tea to Emperor Wu of Zhou, "Your Majesty, where did you come from?"

"Where is Lao He?" Emperor Wu of Zhou picked up the teacup, bowed his head and took a few sips of tea.

"What are you doing at Lao He's place?"

"He took the initiative to ask me to go, and asked me something about the Huns."

He Xiang asked, "What does he think?"

"It's useless for him to despise Wusun." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, playing with the teacup, "I asked him to study the Xiongnu carefully."

"If the Huns go south, your majesty, do you plan to let him go?"

"We can't always let him stay in that house." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "I'm not keeping him here for his retirement. He has to play his role, isn't it?"

"He doesn't seem to have fought the Huns before."

"With his ability, the Huns will not be his opponent."

"Your Majesty, I have to remind you." He Xiang's expression suddenly became very serious.

"You said."

"Lao He has always hated you, thinking that you killed Prince Yiyong." He Xiang said, "He also thinks that you took Prince Yiyong's throne away. Once you let him out, his subordinates will contact him, and then They might do something."

Emperor Wu of Zhou said what He Xiang really wanted to say: "You mean they will rebel?"

"Lao He not only has outstanding ability to lead troops in combat, but also has excellent management skills." Lao He is outstanding in all aspects, which is why people are afraid.

"He may instigate my son to rebel and overthrow me as the emperor, but he will not rebel and become emperor himself."

"Your Majesty, are you so sure?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou said with a smile: "Because the title of Da Zhou was taken by the eldest brother, and the establishment of the Great Zhou is half of the credit of the elder brother. If he rebels and becomes the emperor himself, it is tantamount to ruining the hard work of the elder brother."

He Xiang didn't think of this.

"If elder brother had a son, he might have supported elder brother's son to rebel and then killed me."

"If Prince Yiyong had an heir, your majesty would have given up the throne a long time ago." As a person who has been with Emperor Wu of Zhou from the beginning, He Xiang still understands Emperor Wu of Zhou's temperament better. "There's no need for Lao He to rebel."

"Those who know me, Lao He Ye!"

"Unfortunately, Lao He doesn't know that you want Prince Yiyong to live more than anyone else. You would rather be the one who died than Prince Yiyong."

"God is short-sighted, let the eldest brother go."

"If Prince Yiyong hadn't warned you, you would have given up on the job long ago."

Before his death, Prince Yiyong held the hand of Emperor Wu of Zhou tightly and told him repeatedly to protect the safety of the people and build a powerful Zhou for the people.

"Although I don't want to be the emperor, but since I do, I will be responsible." Emperor Zhou Wu put away the casual smile on his face, and suddenly became very serious, "I will work hard to realize the ideal of my brother."

"Your majesty, to be honest, you are more suitable to be emperor than Prince Yiyong."

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of Zhou frowned slightly: "Where do you start with this?"

"Prince Yiyong is too idealistic, but you are more pragmatic." Prince Yiyong is very good, but many of his ideas are too ideal.But the emperor is more down-to-earth.

Emperor Wu of Zhou did not refute He Xiang's words.Although he kept saying that he hoped that Prince Yiyong was still alive so that he wouldn't have to be emperor, but he always knew in his heart that Prince Yiyong would not do well if he became emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is why God chose you." After He Xiang said this, he immediately changed the subject, "Old Liu has arrived in Yangzhou, and soon there will be a bloody storm in Yangzhou."

Prince Yiyong: When did I say that I like to be an emperor and I want to be an emperor?
Finally ask for a monthly pass!
