The truth proves that Lu Wan, the King of Yan, is quite fake.
Before Fan Kuai arrived at the battlefield, Zhou Bo turned around and beat the Yan soldiers so badly that they could not take care of themselves.
Within a few days, Zhou Bo's army was about to reach the capital.
Now, of course, Lu Wan could no longer sit still. He led thousands of people including his family members, palace servants, and confidants, all the way to the edge of the Great Wall, where they set up camp.
"Your Majesty, the army of Yan is weak and cannot be a match for Zhou Bo. Please allow me to go to the Xiongnu and borrow troops from them to fight against Zhou Bo and take back the land of Yan!"
At this time, Zhang Sheng did not forget to offer advice and suggestions to Lu Wan.
Lu Wan was furious, pointing at Zhang Sheng in front of him and cursing, "If it weren't for your plan, would I have fallen to this point? You said you wanted me to protect myself, but leading the Xiongnu to attack your majesty's army, is this also self-protection?"
Hearing Lu Wan's abuse, Zhang Sheng's face turned red, he lowered his head and was unable to speak.
Zhang Sheng committed suicide that day. Before he died, he left a letter to Lu Wan. The letter began by apologizing to Lu Wan and blaming himself for not being able to protect his master. Then, he told Lu Wan that if Zhou Bo continued to attack, he could escape to the Xiongnu.
However, after Zhou Bo pacified most of the Yan State, he stopped the attack and strangely allowed Lu Wan to continue staying at the Great Wall.
Zhou Bo probably also understood that although His Majesty had issued an edict to kill Lu Wan, if he really brought his head back, he would probably not have a good ending. Perhaps one day when His Majesty got drunk and remembered this matter, he would avenge his good brother.
Fan Kuai, who was not captured by Chen Ping as in history, is now getting closer and closer to the State of Yan. Only he can play the villain.
At this moment, Liu Chang was bragging loudly to the three little boys of the Zhou family inside the Zhou Mansion.
Since the last attack on Marquis Jiancheng's Mansion, the Chang'an gang headed by Liu Chang was completely wiped out. Most of them were under house arrest and not allowed to go out. Many of them are still lying in bed. Liu Chang can only visit them in person.
"Okay, I'll go visit Guan A. I heard that he was locked up in the study by his father..."
Liu Chang slowly stood up and was about to leave, but Zhou Shengzhi couldn't wait to say, "Let's go with the king!"
“Ahem.”
Mrs. Zhou, who was not far away, cleared her throat. Zhou Shengzhi was a little displeased and kept silent with a stern face.
Liu Chang looked at Madam Zhou with a smile, and then said to Zhou Shengzhi sternly: "As a son, how can you be rude to your biological mother? Since you want to follow me, it is not enough to just be brave, you must also study hard! You must understand the principle of filial piety!"
"You must obey your mother's orders. Since you are not allowed to go out, what else do you have to say?!"
Zhou Shengzhi hurriedly apologized to Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Zhou was very happy.
Her three sons have always been a source of worry for her, especially the eldest son Zhou Shengzhi, who is a lawless person and no one can control him except his father.
She hurried forward and said with a smile, "No problem, no problem, I'm not forbidding you, just go early and come back early."
Liu Chang said goodbye to Mrs. Zhou very politely, and then led the three guys out.
As soon as they walked out of the door, Liu Chang said, "You three have been following me for such a long time, but you haven't made any progress at all!"
"What your parents care about is just your attitude. As long as you are filial enough and sincere, and do whatever you want to do on weekdays, they won't say much. It's just a matter of words. Why don't they understand?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
They first went to Guan Ying's house. Guan Ying was not there, so Liu Chang did the same thing and brought up Zhang Cang's name. Mrs. Guan smiled and let Guan A out. The five of them played in the yard. The big dog hadn't seen Guan A for a long time, and when it saw him, it ran around him and barked non-stop.
"My father was very angry. He said I was useless. Others were beating people, but I was the only one stealing things..."
Guan A said seriously.
"Oh, everyone, please help me notify everyone... In three days, I will celebrate my birthday and hold a banquet in the palace!!"
There was no such thing as celebrating birthdays in the Spring and Autumn Period. This trend appeared in the late Warring States Period and was popular during the Han Dynasty. However, most adults did not celebrate birthdays. It depended on whether the parents were around. If one of them was not around, the birthday could not be celebrated and one had to offer sacrifices to both parents.
In addition, young children don't go through the festival very often, and whether they can go through the festival depends on the adults in the family. However, who is Gongzi Chang? After he argued with reason, Empress Lu still agreed, but you can forget about going to the Pepper Room Palace, and find another place to go!
Liu Chang once again argued his case, and Liu Ying happily agreed to lend him the storage hall for his birthday.
Although they were very dissatisfied with Liu Chang's previous behavior of leading his children to do mischief , when they heard that Liu Chang was celebrating his birthday in the storage palace, the ministers in the court still released the children in time.
"Gentlemen!"
Liu Chang stood up. He was wearing brand new clothes and a special Gaoxian crown. He held his head high and chest out, looking quite handsome.
On his left and right sat dozens of naughty kids, who were also dressed up beautifully at this moment. They sat on both sides with various foods piled in front of them.
"Thanks to you all a few days ago. I feel really bad about this matter, as I have implicated you all... I will drink this cup of fruit juice first as a thank you!" Liu Chang said as he drank the juice in one gulp. Everyone stood up and raised their glasses to congratulate him!
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I am willing to die for you!"
"Yes! It was nothing more than a beating. If there is anything like this again, just give your orders, my king!"
Everyone was shouting, and the two brothers of the Lu family who were squeezed in the middle were trembling.
That's right, the two of them also came and brought a lot of gifts. When Liu Chang saw them, he didn't beat or scold them. He even smiled and hugged them and asked them to sit down.
"There is one more thing I need to tell you. This cup of fruit juice is dedicated to Lü Zhong and Lü Lu!"
When Liu Chang said this, everyone immediately looked at the two brothers of the Lu family. They were even more frightened, lowered their heads, and dared not speak. Liu Chang continued: "What you don't know is that the Lu brothers are actually on our side. They endured humiliation and paid a lot for our great cause!"
"I see!"
Everyone was delighted and toasted the two brothers of the Lu family. The two foolish boys who could not fit in with the group were flattered and hurriedly returned the toast.
Liu Chang strode up to them and said with a smile, "It won't hurt to get closer to the brothers!"
"Thank you, my king!"
Lu Lu stood up hurriedly, his face full of excitement.
"No need to be polite. Blood is thicker than water between you and me! Come, drink from this cup!"
In a moment, the two of them turned into Chief Liu's number one lackeys, and their words were full of admiration and praise. This made Zhou Shengzhi very unhappy. Why are you two still stealing my job?
"Is uncle still angry?"
Lü Lu looked around and whispered, "He was very angry at first, but my aunt sent someone to scold him and said that he should thank the king. Then my father suddenly realized what was going on and hurriedly sent us over. He even prepared the gifts!"
"Okay, okay, if my uncle has anything to say about me, you can tell me!"
"Of course!"
…
Liu Bang was walking in the palace. At this moment, he had no one around him anymore. There were only a few attendants standing in the distance with their heads down. Liu Bang had no interest in sitting in the newly built pavilion for a long time. At this moment, Liu Bang suddenly heard a noise in the distance, and there was faint singing. Liu Bang stopped and listened carefully for a moment. It seemed to be his own song? ?
"Someone come!"
"What's going on with the crown prince?"
"Your Majesty... Young Master Changqing said yesterday..."
Liu Bang then remembered and said with interest: "This boy is really interested. I have to go and see him!"
When Liu Bang arrived at the storage hall, the attendant was about to go in to report, but Liu Bang stopped him and just watched secretly at the door.
The huge storage hall was now in a mess like a doghouse. A group of kids were chatting among themselves. Liu Chang was hugging Fan Kang's neck, saying something loudly.
Liu Bang watched this scene very calmly for a long time, and a tear gently slid across his face.
Liu Bang did not go in to disturb them. He left quickly. After leaving, he personally wrote a letter and asked the knights to deliver the letter to the State of Yan.
…
Lu Wan stood at the foot of the Great Wall, shivering. It was extremely cold here, and no one understood why Lu Wan stopped here, knowing that the enemy could attack at any time. But Lu Wan would stand on tiptoe every day and look towards the northwest.
When people asked him questions, he did not answer.
Until one day, a big Han knight appeared in front of Lu Wan.
Lu Wan's soldiers immediately surrounded the man, but the man was not afraid, "Your Majesty has a letter for the King of Yan!"
With the support of his left and right companions, Lu Wan hurriedly walked up to the man.
"I am delivering your Majesty's handwritten letter under the order of Marquis Wuyang."
Lu Wan took the silk book tremblingly, looked down and saw only one line of words on it.
"You bastard! Get back here!"
Lu Wan knelt on the ground, hugging the cloth and crying bitterly.
