Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 197 Hey, I'm Duke Zhou!

Liu Chan was on a high place, so he couldn't help laughing when he saw the little actions of the two, and ordered Huang Hao to come forward and pour wine for them.

Liu Chan held up wine to the two of them, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ziyu is on good terms with Han and Wu. I am very relieved to run back and forth. I have wanted to see Lord Wu for a long time, but unfortunately I can't. I ask Mr. Ziyu to go back and tell Lord Wu. The Han and Wu alliances swear to attack Cao and Wei together and never break the agreement."

"Please envoy Wu to drink up this bottle!" Liu Chan drank it in one gulp, and Zhuge and his son showed that the cup was empty, not to be outdone.

Liu Chan took the opportunity and said slowly: "Yuan Xun has read a lot of poetry and books, and Gong Yuan is the director of the defense department. Why don't you two have a drink with each other to show your friendship."

Zhuge Ke couldn't drink enough, his face was hot, he raised his glass and said: "Mr. Zhang Huishu (Zhang Wen) is right. There are many heroes in Sichuan. I will see you today."

Liao Li saw that Liu Chan eased the relationship between the two, but he didn't dare to think too highly of himself. He replied: "Yuan is humble and humble, Wuzhong is not inferior to me, and Shuzhong. May you and our two countries fight against Cao Wei."

Hearing Zhang Wen's name, Liu Chan recalled the banquet several years ago, couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhuge Jin, and asked, "I wonder if Huishu is doing well in Wu?"

Zhuge Jin pondered for a while, but did not dare to tell the truth, half concealed and said: "A few years ago, Jiyan's government was in chaos, and all officials complained. Huishu had a close relationship with him. My king had no choice but to dismiss Huishu from office and imprison him in at home."

Liu Chan sighed softly, and said with emotion: "Huishu's dismissal is all because of my fault!"

Hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at the big Han emperor on the steps.

Liu Chan raised his wine bottle and said slowly: "I've heard about Jiyan, Mr. Ziyu, don't hide it from me. If Huishu really cooperates with Jiyan and Xu Biao, how can he be dismissed from office? , will also commit suicide like Ji Yan and Xu Biao.”

"The cause and effect must be that Huishu Qingzhuo Taiming praised me as a big man in Wuzhong, but was hated by the villains around Lord Wu, falsely accused Lord Wu, and had to be imprisoned at home."

Liu Chan also described the whole story of the incident both true and false, and concealed Sun Quan's jealousy in front of Zhuge Jin, saying that the villains around Sun Quan held grudges and maintained the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Zhuge Jin fell into silence and didn't dare to say much. After all, it was done by her lord herself, so it's not easy to judge in front of others.

After a pause, Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Jin and said in a deep voice, "I would like to send two hundred good horses in exchange for Zhang Huishu to enter Shu. I wonder what envoy Wu thinks?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and Zhuge Jin couldn't help breathing heavily.

War horses in Soochow have a price but no market. There are no war horses on the market that can be sold.

The officials of the big Han did not understand what it meant. For the current big Han, after seizing the land of Longyou, the situation of the big Han lacking excellent war horses and horses has been greatly alleviated, but at present, it is still better to exchange two hundred war horses for Zhang Wen. It hurts so much, I just feel that the emperor's move is very extravagant.

Some officials looked at Zhuge Liang again to see Zhuge Liang's attitude, but to their disappointment, Zhuge Liang remained silent.

Zhuge Liang had already sensed the deep meaning of Liu Chan's move, so of course he would not stop it. Moreover, Liu Chan is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and stopping it at this time would definitely damage the authority of the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

After all, although Zhuge Liang is a powerful minister, he is completely different from the powerful minister who tried to usurp.Zhuge Liang's ministers of power were granted to him by Lao Liu and Liu Chan together, allowing him to restore the Han Dynasty, just like the prime minister of later generations.

Zhuge Jin let out a long breath, and said: "It is not the foreign minister who can make the decision. The minister must report to my master before he can decide."

"Yes! After you return to Wu, Qing Ke will discuss with Master Wu. I say that the Wudan Academy of the Han Dynasty would like to invite Mr. Zhang to give lectures in Shu to promote Shu Chinese literature." Liu Chan said, taking a sip of his wine.

"At the same time, I heard that Lord Wu was proclaimed emperor, so the great man would like to send another three hundred war horses to Lord Wu as a congratulatory gift. I hope that Lord Wu can cross the river and defeat Wei to complete the alliance." Liu Chan continued.

"Your Majesty's heart, foreign ministers are terrified. I would like to thank Your Majesty. After returning to the country, I will definitely report to my lord and express my majesty's heart." Zhuge Jin said.

Liu Chan smiled and said: "I have not been restored to Qinzhou for a long time, and I still need horses to prepare for war. When I have enough horses and horses, I will send some more to Lord Wu."

Zhuge Jin also got up, and raised his voice and replied: "Your Majesty's heart, the foreign ministers know! Now the foreign ministers enter Shu, and my lord is happy to hear that the great Han sent troops to take the seven counties, but he is also worried that Cao Wei will conquer the great Han in the south, so he evacuated The soldiers guarding Xinling went to Nanjun to intimidate the Jingzhou Wei army."

"On one hand, the Wei army in Jingzhou cannot send a large number of soldiers to the north; on the other hand, Your Majesty can transfer the soldiers from Jiangzhou to Qinzhou to prepare for the enemy from Cao Wei. This is my lord's meager effort to fight against the great Han. I hope your majesty will live up to it." The sincere heart of our country!"

Zhuge Jin bowed and saluted, and replied respectfully.

Liu Chan got up and stood on the steps, holding a wine bottle, and said with a smile: "From now on, the Han and Wu will be in harmony, and we will attack Cao and Wei together. Please drink this cup together!"

All the ministers of the Han Dynasty and Zhuge Jin and his son stood up and raised their glasses, shouting: "Han and Wu are in harmony, let's attack Cao Wei together!" They drank in one gulp.

Liu Chan looked around at the crowd, and then glanced at Zhuge Liang. Seeing him nodding, he said in a deep voice, "I hereby order the Shang Shu Ling Chen Zhensheng to be the Weiwei to go to Wu to congratulate the Lord Wu on becoming emperor."

At the banquet, Chen Zhen came out, knelt down on the ground, and said: "I take orders, and I will live up to your majesty's trust!"

Seeing Liao Li in the crowd, Liu Chan continued to order: "The servant, Liao Li, is the deputy envoy to assist Chen Qing and go on an envoy to Wu!"

"No! The minister accepts the order." Liao Li knelt down and said.

Seeing this, Liu Chan nodded in satisfaction, and asked Liao Li, who was in a bad mood, to go after Sun Quan.

Liu Chan chatted a few more words, and the banquet ended.

Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang walked in the palace, looked at the summer starry sky, and said slowly: "I don't know if Xiangfu is wondering why I exchanged two hundred fine horses for Zhang Wen?"

Zhuge Liang was half a body behind, pretending to be deep in thought, and said: "I didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it, I thought that your majesty must have a deep meaning. I don't know that your majesty is following the example of King Yan Zhao's daughter buying horse bones and recruiting talents."

Liu Chan looked up at the stars in the sky and said, "I exchanged a good horse for Zhang Wen, and I have three intentions. One, it is exactly as Xiangfu said, to imitate King Yan Zhao's thousand gold to buy bones, recruit talents, and use Zhang Wen to show off the world's heroes; Second, Zhang Wen is a great talent, I can't bear to see him suffer from imprisonment, unable to show his talents, and die of depression."

"Thirdly, make good friends with the big families in Wuzhong. Zhang Lu and Gu Zhu are the four major surnames in Wuzhong. Among them, the Zhang family is outstanding in literary talent and has made friends with many noble families. If I can make good friends with them, I will benefit a lot. From a distance It is said that our great Han ruled the north, and when we attacked Wu, Zhang Wen waved the flag and shouted, and countless Wu officials surrendered."

Liu Chan pointed forward, motioned to move forward, and said: "As far as the distance is concerned, if you have a great talent, you can make good friends with the nobles in Wuzhong, and make Shu brocade and horses more widely circulated among the nobles in Wu, and you can benefit from it."

After a pause, Liu Chan said proudly: "Zhang Wen is too clear, too clear about good and evil, and has no taboos. In the world, I am the only one who can use it. Who else can use it?"

Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Chan, and suddenly felt that today he has grown a lot, and his open-mindedness can be compared to that of the great ancestors.If the great man can really rejuvenate, the rule of the emperor may be even better than Guangwu Zhongxing.

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard in satisfaction and pride, and sighed slightly, gratified that he lived up to the kindness of the late emperor Tuogu, and proud that he was the one who taught him since he was a child.

Hey, I am Zhou Gong!

The emperor can be the king of Zhou Cheng!
