Start having a baby!I dressed as the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

"Queen Mother, Tiaohou Mansion has arrived!"

"Did you indeed see Wei Qihou enter Tiaohou Mansion?" Wang Quan asked, getting up and getting out of the chariot with the help of the eunuch.

"It's indeed Prime Minister Dou! The car is parked over there."

"Send a message to the Marquis Mansion, and the Ai family is here to visit General Zhou who is ill." Wang Quan ordered.

Wearing regular clothes, Wang Quan stood calmly and calmly, looking at Dou Ying's chariot parked at the gate.

After the guard reported to the concierge, there was a commotion in the mansion. Not long after, people fell to their knees in front of the door.

"The Queen Mother is here, but I am a little distant to greet you! Please forgive me!"

"My dearest friends! Why is Prime Minister Dou in Tiaohou Mansion? Are you here to visit me?" Wang Quan asked with a half-smile but not a smile.

"I heard that Ting Tiaohou was ill and came here to visit him..." Dou Ying said, sweating on his forehead and looking embarrassed.

As for Hou Zhou Yafu, he didn't look like he had been ill in bed for a long time. His face was slightly red, whether it was because of drunkenness or embarrassment.

He was greeted respectfully by everyone and took his seat in the main hall, and everyone else left.

"I heard that General Zhou is suffering from severe illness, so the Ai family brought high-quality tonics to visit General Zhou."

The eunuch accompanying Wang Guan waved, and the entourage came in carrying gift boxes and boxes, filling the hall.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Zhou Yafu knelt down and explained sarcastically, "I was really ill a few days ago...I only got better in the past two days..."

"Is it getting better? The heat is getting better, so go out for more walks." Wang Quan said with a smile, his eyes squinting at Dou Ying.

"What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true!" Dou Ying hurriedly agreed, "General Zhou should go riding horses and shooting arrows outside the city. He spent half his life in the military camp, so he can't let this skill go to waste!"

Wang Quan turned around and saw the sword hanging on the wall: "This sword must be the sword given by the emperor!"

Zhou Yafu hurriedly stood up and took off the sword from the wall, holding it in front of Wang Quan with both hands: "The Queen Mother clearly sees it! It is the sword given by Emperor Xiaowen!"

Wang Quan took the sword and looked at it carefully, "This is the reward given by Emperor Xiaowen to Marquis Tiao when General Zhou put down the rebellion of Wu King Liu Bi."

Sighing, Wang Quan said solemnly, "Back then, General Zhou was so heroic and unstoppable that he marched straight into South Vietnam and forced the South Vietnamese king Zhao Tuo to sacrifice Liu Bi's head! What a hero!"

Turning to look at Dou Ying: "Prime Minister Dou was also appointed as a general by Emperor Xiaowen and fully cooperated with General Zhou. A true country scholar and a good general! How lucky is this man to have two great ministers!"

"Don't dare, don't dare! The two ministers are just going to wipe out Wu! It was the Queen Mother who killed Wu Prince Liu Ju first to determine the victory! The rebel king is in chaos and is unable to resist!" Dou Ying and Zhou Yafu hurriedly saluted respectfully.

The rebellion of King Wu Liu Bi at that time resulted in the achievement of three people present: Zhou Yafu was granted the title of Marquis for his military exploits, Dou Ying was granted the title of Marquis of Wei Qi, and the Crown Prince Liangdi was granted the title of County Lord and was granted the title of Tang Muyi.

Wang Liangdi at that time was now the empress dowager with all the power in the world; Wei Qihou Dou Ying was Prime Minister Dou who acted based on the empress dowager's eyes.

However, Zhou Yafu, who was upright and unruly, became a nobleman who claimed to be sick and unemployed, depressed and frustrated.

In Wang Quan's view, Emperor Xiaojing's removal of Zhou Yafu's position was just the preparation for Liu Xiaozhu's ascension to the throne and his reactivation. Just like Dou Ying was deliberately suppressed by Liu Qi in exchange for the loyal Prime Minister Dou of the new emperor.

But the upright Zhou Sichang refused to accept the emperor's fault. He ignored the new emperor's sincerity and continued to act like a Gonghou!

There was no other way, so Wang Quan had no choice but to go out in person and force Zhou Sicheng to go into business and let him use his remaining energy! The starvation death of Zhou Yafu, predicted by the fortune teller Xu Ning, would be another ending. Emperor Jing Liu Qi killed Zhou Yafu to frighten the Gonghou's last words, but Wang Quan would not live up to his words.

Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying looked at each other. In fact, the two of them had regretted it for a long time. When Emperor Jing Liu Qi deposed Prince Liu Rong, they were obsessed with it and jumped up and down to sing the opposite tune.

What "Yin Dao kisses, considerate and respectful", what the distinction between the eldest son of the emperor and the legitimate concubine... When Wang Liangdi left the capital in disguise, forced the king of Wu Liu Bi to rebel, and killed the prince Wu, they should have understood long ago: depose the prince, It was to make room for this woman’s son. This woman is destined to have no opponent!

Suddenly, there was a noise in the yard. Wang Quan looked at Zhou Yafu with confusion.

Zhou Yafu got up angrily and went outside the hall to scold: "Who is making noise here! Get out!"

The noise intensified. Wang Quan frowned.

The accompanying eunuch rushed out and ordered the guards: "Who is so bold! You disturbed the Queen Mother! Arrest her!"

The guards knelt down several people in front of the hall, and several people struggled and cried out for injustice.

"What's the grievance? I disturbed the Empress Dowager's holy chariot, and if I didn't explain it clearly, I'll kill you!" the eunuch scolded.

"The villain is wronged! Yesterday, the young people transported 500 armors from Shangfang to Tiaohou Mansion. The Zhou family said they had paid for the armors, but they refused to carry the money to the villain! The young people worked hard for two days, but they didn't I got a penny! So I blocked the door and begged for it! I didn’t intend to disturb the Queen Mother. Please forgive me! Please forgive me! Please forgive me! Please forgive me!”

Several people kowtowed and defended and begged.

Wang Quan's face turned gloomy and he looked at Zhou Yafu who was at a loss.

Zhou Yafu knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, Queen Mother! I really don't know!"

This Shangfang is a royal workshop, specializing in making ritual vessels and other royal utensils for the royal family. Non-royal people who use royal utensils are guilty of transgression and will be punished and beheaded!

For princes, vassal kings, important ministers, generals and ministers, or people with meritorious service, the emperor would give some royal objects made by Shangfang to show his trust in rewards. For example, the sword in Wang Quan's hand was given by Emperor Xiaowen when he awarded Zhou Yafu the title of Marquis.

The utensils made by Shangfang are sometimes defective and must be destroyed according to regulations.

There were nobles who traveled a lot with the royal family and often went in and out of the palace. They secretly made friends with Shangfang Ling, Cheng and others. Occasionally, they secretly obtained a few defective Shangfang utensils. They were not shown off or circulated, and were buried as underworld utensils. After all, during this period, "death was as important as life", and rich burials were popular. Those who could obtain utensils from Shangfang, which was dedicated to serving the royal family, were either rich or noble, and were all important ministers favored by the emperor. The royal family also turned a blind eye and did not investigate further.

However, armor was the top equipment of the Han Dynasty army, equivalent to heavy tanks in modern warfare. In the age of cold weapons, armor can minimize the threat to life from attacks by swords, guns, arrows and halberds.

Common people can hide swords and spears for self-defense, but they cannot hide armor. Some scholars and knight-errants also "wear a green shirt and travel to the ends of the earth with a sword." No one has ever dared to wear armor and wander around. Because armor is an important weapon for the country's military, keeping it secretly means rebellion. If the court's bottom line is touched, no matter how powerful the knight is, his head will be lost!

How valuable is ancient armor? Three thousand Yue Jia can devour Wu;

Nurhaci, thirteen armored men rose up to rule the world...

Armor is an important weapon of military states in the past dynasties. Only the imperial arsenal can be reserved. In the past dynasties, private ownership and resale by officials and people were strictly prohibited. Violators would be punished as treason. So there is a saying: "One armor carries three crossbows, and three armors enter the underworld."

The imperial court has zero tolerance for civilians hiding armor. "Han Code" stipulates: Anyone who secretly hides one collar and three crossbows will be punished by being exiled for thousands of miles; anyone who secretly hides three collars and five crossbows will be punished for treason and clan execution.

Armor can be made of a variety of materials. The royal armor made by Shangfang was made of copper and iron with holes, covered with gold and decorated with dragon and cloud patterns. It was worn with cowhide rope as armor, and the hat and helmet were decorated with gold and pearls. It looked luxurious and majestic.

A set of armor, from materials to production, is so cumbersome that it takes several months or almost a year to get the finished product. This shows that it is rare and precious.

Emperors of all dynasties have armor, but except for the founding emperors or the imperial chariots who conduct military campaigns, they rarely have the opportunity to wear them. Liu Xiaozhu went to Jianzhang Palace to train soldiers or go hunting in Shanglin Garden. Because he was not tall enough for a teenager, he often only wore half armor and weighed more than 20 kilograms.

So Wang Quan ordered Shangfang to make silk-coated gold armor specially for Liu Xiaozhu. Silk armor is mainly for decoration and not very defensive. It is made of silk cloth, and thin gold sheets with dragon and cloud patterns are sewn on it to form the breastplate, back armor, and shoulder armor. The structure is light and beautiful, but it does not lose the domineering look of a king.

Others only touched and hid a few of the imperial utensils made by Shangfang. This week Yafu actually brazenly ordered five hundred armors from Shangfang. No matter in terms of quantity or shape, they are rubbing the royal face and the laws of the Han on the ground!

——Zhou Yafu, you are planning to rebel!

Seeing the gloomy expression on the Queen Mother's face, Zhou Yafu's son Zhou Yang knelt down from the hall and crawled behind his father in the hall. Thusuo cried: "The villain is guilty! It has nothing to do with my father! It is the villain who makes the decision privately. I ordered five hundred from Shangfang The pottery armor is for my father to be buried with in the future... I beg the Queen Mother to forgive me! I beg the Queen Mother to forgive me!"

Zhou Yang knelt down and kowtowed, but Zhou Yafu jumped up and kicked him down: "You are so hateful! I'm going to kill you!"

After saying that, he jumped over and snatched the Yuci sword from Wang Quan's hand!

"Wait a minute!" Wang Quan shouted, "General Zhou! Are you going to kill your son in front of the Ai family?!"

The furious father, the son who kowtows and pleads guilty, the stunned debt collector, the silent Prime Minister Dou, everyone is terrified...

Looking at the chaos in the hall, Wang Quan sighed and ordered the eunuch: "Get the armor and show it to the Ai family. Everyone, please leave!"

Zhou Yafu turned his back to the Empress Dowager and dropped his sword, turned around and knelt down, saying in a low voice: "I have no way of teaching my son! I beg the Empress Dowager to punish me!"

His tone was filled with annoyance, unwillingness, and anger, and he knocked his head heavily on the ground with a "bang" sound. He doesn’t defend, beg, or be tactful, he is so upright and unyielding like Zhou Yafu!

The guards came carrying the armor and shield. Wang Quan looked at it carefully and praised: "General Zhou has been a brave soldier all his life, and the majesty of the thin willows is known all over the world! This is a demonstration of the filial piety of Mr. Zhou - he used the armor and shield as a burial artifact to commemorate the general. The majesty of commanding thousands of troops!”

The armor is made of clay. It consists of breastplate, shoulder armor, back armor and waist train connected together. It is hollow, and a thin person can seem to get in if he shrinks back. The armor is black, and the floral patterns on the armor pieces, as well as the rivets at the connection between the breastplate and back armor, are all very realistic.

The shield is made of wood, thickly painted with red paint, and the tiger's head on the shield is ferocious and majestic.

It is indeed a royal workshop! Although this armor shield is a dark weapon, it can be used by soldiers on the battlefield to withstand a burst of attacks.

Wang Quan felt very unhappy.

The five thousand pottery figures buried in the mausoleum of the thrifty Emperor Xiaojing were no more than the size of a hand, even though they were painted with colorful clothes and equipped with movable wooden arms.

The artifact Zhou Yafu was buried with was no different from the size of a human being. The Zhou family's arrogance of relying on their talents and their great achievements came from the roots of Jianghou Zhou Bo!

Zhou Bo and Chen Ping united with the princes and kings surnamed Liu to clear out the Lus and massacred all the emperor Hui and Liu Ying! By abolishing the emperor and establishing the emperor, the Zhou family manipulated the royal family in their hands.

Therefore, Emperor Wen was wary of Zhou Bo and other families of meritorious nobles; Emperor Jing also made his last words to get rid of Zhou Yafu.

This underworld weapon looks like a weapon and is not a real armor and shield. It cannot be used as a conspiracy to rebel, but the crime of transgression is clear.

The Zhou family's father and son were kneeling on the ground, how could they hide their arrogance with their submissiveness at this moment!

Wang Na bit her lip. She only needs to give an order, and the Zhou family will be destroyed this week! But the Zhou family did make contributions to the Han Dynasty, and she could not let the royal family bear the reputation of killing the hero. The empress dowager put down her figure and came to Zhou Mansion. What she wanted was for Zhou Ci to be stabbed to death.

With a smile, Wang Quan said: "Please get up, General Zhou! How can this pottery armor be worthy of my Xiliu Xiongfeng, General Zhou?!"

Wang Ao winked at Dou Ying, who was standing dazed and at a loss. Dou Ying hurriedly stepped forward and helped Zhou Yafu up. Zhou Yafu stood up with force and staggered.

"Stand back!" Wang Quan waved to the others.

Only Zhou Yafu, Dou Ying, and the Queen Mother were left in the main hall.

"I am an old man with ambitions for thousands of miles. In his old age, martyrs are full of ambition." Wang Quan chanted, "General Zhou has been retired for many years, but the life in the military camp is still vivid in his mind! Could it be that General Zhou only waits for the immortal to guard these piles of pottery armor? What?"

These words ignited a small fire in Zhou Yafu's eyes, and then extinguished in an instant: "I am old, so I can only stay at home to recuperate. The ghost weapon purchased by Quanzi is also to prevent me from unexpected events."

"General Zhou, what you said is wrong! It seems that you have been sick for a long time and have been bored in the house. If you go to the military camp and eat meat and drink from big bowls with the officers and soldiers, you will definitely be free of illness and light!"

Dou Ying said, winking at Zhou Yafu, wishing he could go up and shake this thorny man awake.

After being idle for many years by the emperor, why haven't you enlightened yourself yet? Old Man Zhou, Old Man Zhou, the Empress Dowager caught you on the spot for your transgression, but you haven’t been held accountable yet! The empress dowager is kind and alert, and handed you a pole. Why don't you climb up the pole and wait to be punished? Don’t let your whole family go to jail, and you won’t be able to guarantee your safety in the evening!

Zhou Yafu glanced sideways at Dou Ying, "I'm afraid that I have betrayed the great trust of the Queen Mother! I heard that the emperor was recruiting virtuous people, and all the wise men with both civil and military skills flocked to the capital. The Jianzhang cavalry army was all brave and led by the emperor himself. The humble ministers were old and young , How dare you show your ugliness!"

The old prick head also said that he should stay in retreat to recover from illness! All the decrees and measures of the imperial court are carefully grasped; and the current prime minister communicates with each other!

Wang Quan felt disgust in his heart and looked at Dou Ying - as a foreigner, an important minister of the imperial court, and a consortium of rich and powerful officials, what was his intention? Aijia, I took note of this with you!

In the year of the great disaster, Emperor Jing Liu Qi, in order to reduce the burden on the capital, drove all the princes who had no office in the court back to their feudal towns.

Princess Pingyang, who missed her mother dearly, asked the emperor for instructions to return to Chang'an when the situation improved. Wang Ao was worried that her eldest daughter Ping'er had given birth to a son. She had not yet seen her grandson, so she ordered Liu Xiaozhu to agree.

After hearing that the consort Cao Shou, the Marquis of Pingyang, returned to the capital with the princess and their young son Cao Xiang, the princes who were ready to make a move also returned to Chang'an one after another. Tiaohou Zhou Yafu is the fastest one.

"General Zhou is overly worried! Attacking each other among the vassal kings of Baiyue is against the law of heaven. God's prophecy clearly indicates that the attack will appease the anger of heaven. General Zhou vindicated the rebellion of Wang Liu Bi and became famous all over the country. This time, he only needs to go out to fight. It can intimidate the small country of Zuer!"

Wang Quan put his hands behind his back, stared at Zhou Yafu and said decisively: "The Ai family wants General Zhou to wear black iron armor and unify the three armies!"
