Father can be an enemy to the country

Luo Guanzhong finally discovered that when His Royal Highness the King of Chu called his name rudely, he was probably giving him some benefits.

On the contrary, if he politely calls himself 'Mr. Guanzhong', he will probably do nothing good.

After a few days of this, Luo Guanzhong was a little confused, and he couldn't tell the difference between good and evil. As soon as he heard His Highness being polite to him, his heart skipped a beat; when he heard that His Highness was not polite to him, he felt a little hopeful.

Cursing secretly why he is becoming more and more mean? He really wanted to ask Your Highness, do you talk to your master like this?

Then Lao Luo put on the glasses angrily.

Then, his anger dissipated.

Because the time before my eyes was always blurry, like looking at flowers in the mist, suddenly the clouds cleared and the sun became clear!

"..." Luo Guanzhong opened his mouth wide, holding the frame of the mirror with his hand, looking up, down, left, and right, and occasionally uttered exclamations such as 'oh haha', 'ehhee', 'fuck' and the like.

"I haven't seen it so clearly in thirty years..." He choked with excitement.

"Get a book for you, Teacher Luo, to read." Zhu Zhen ordered his grandson.

Li Fangyuan quickly handed the "The Analects of Justice" in his hand to Luo Guanzhong.

Luo Guanzhong took it and subconsciously squinted to look at it.

"Try it, don't squint." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "You have such big eyes, why do you wrinkle them into two chrysanthemums all day long?"

"..." Luo Guanzhong rolled his eyes at him, and then tried to open his eyes little by little. Sure enough, he could see the words clearly without squinting!

"Thank you..." Luo Guanzhong finally shed tears of joy.

"You're welcome, these are just the lenses I asked you to polish." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "When you are satisfied with me, I will have someone tailor-make a more suitable pair for you."

"Isn't this good enough?" Luo Guanzhong was surprised.

"That's right. Just behave well and follow me, and your eyes will be bright." Zhu Zhen laughed proudly and said, "In every sense of the word."

"..." Luo Guanzhong was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "There is a character in "Three Kingdoms" that I have always been unsure about. Thanks to Your Highness, I now know how to write about it."

"Who?" Zhu Zhen took the orange juice from the high-speed rail.

"Prime Minister Cao."

‘Pfft…’ Zhu Zhen sprayed Robben in the face with a mouthful of yellow soup.

Luo Guanzhong's brand new glasses were immediately filled with fruit pieces.

The Chaohu Navy went north at night and arrived in Bianliang, Beijing half a month later.

This thousand-year-old city is another place of Chinese kingship after Luoyang. Since the Tang Dynasty, there has been a saying that those who win Bianliang will win the world.

But after the Northern Song Dynasty, it was like Wang Xiaoer’s New Year celebration, and every year was worse than the last. The main reason is that the governance level of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties was low and they were unable to serve the Yellow River as well as the Northern Song Dynasty. As a result, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the "four major water transports", mainly the Yellow River and Bianhe River, were all silted up due to floods in the Yellow River.

Frequent flooding has also changed the ecological environment here, turning Bianliang, once known as the "Northern Water City", into a vast sea of ​​sand. The Yuan Dynasty was forced to move the Grand Canal further eastward, instead of passing through Henan, but through southwestern Shandong. Bianliang's decline was out of control.

Although Boss Zhu was in the first year of Hongwu, because Bianliang was the largest city in the world, he designated it as Beijing. However, after on-the-spot inspection, we discovered that the place was dilapidated, the people were in dire straits, and it no longer had the conditions to become a capital city again.

Only then did he abandon Bianliang and instead build Zhongdu...

However, when Lao Liu and his party arrived in Bianliang, it had been restored for ten years. Especially after it was designated as Beijing, Bianliang underwent a large-scale renovation. The rammed earth city walls built in the Jin Dynasty were covered with bricks and reinforced, turning it into a brick city.

At this time, Bianliang City was three feet five feet tall and two feet one foot wide. There was a river surrounding the city and five gates in the city wall. This pearl of the Central Plains and thoroughfare of eight provinces, which had been in the hands of foreigners for hundreds of years, has finally regained some of its former prosperity.

Xu Sima, the commander of the Henan capital, personally welcomed His Royal Highness the King of Chu at the Yellow River Pier.

To be honest, Lao Liu was not familiar with this sworn brother at all. Ever since he was sensible, Xu Sima had already gone to fight for the old Zhu family.

However, he called "Brother Ma" very affectionately and hugged Xu Sima.

The horse was moved to tears and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. Your Highness has grown into a young man!"

Xu Sima's feelings for Lao Zhu's family are sincere. He was from Yangzhou. During the war in the late Yuan Dynasty, he was only nine years old and his whole family died. When he was helpless, fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted him as his adopted son and gave him the surname Zhu. When he grew up, he went in and out of attendants.

When Wuzhou was captured, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed him as the general commander to assist Chang Yuchun in guarding Wuzhou. In the first year of Wu Dynasty, he was awarded the title of Commanding Fellow of Jinhuawei. In the first year of Hongwu, he followed the deputy general Li Wenzhong on the northern expedition and captured Yuanzong Wang Qingsheng alive. Due to his meritorious service, he was promoted to the commander of the Hangzhou Guard, and soon to the commander of the governor, and was ordered to restore his original surname.

Like Ping An and Mu Ying, he is also a direct descendant of the old Zhu family. Before Lao Liu came, Boss Zhu personally told him to treat him like a biological brother...

Lao Liu and Xu Sima were both smart people, and soon they became as close as brothers. They got into the car hand in hand and entered Bianliang City.

In the car, Zhu Zhen saw a series of heads hanging high on the city gate. They must have been killed recently.

"After receiving the order, Brother Yu searched the whole city and carefully screened Bianliang City." Xu Sima quickly explained: "Oh, it's really shocking, there are wolves everywhere. These are only a small part, most of them are still there. The interrogation has not been completed in prison."

"Is that so..." Zhu Zhen put down the car curtain, withdrew his gaze, and asked calmly: "Have the members of the Ming Sect, the White Lotus Sect, and any other Maitreya Sect been arrested?"

"Only a part of them were caught." Xu Sima sighed: "Most of them had already received the news and ran away before we took action."

"..." Zhu Zhenxin said, then you have to settle the score with Liu Ying.

"The interrogation confessions are very different from the news coming from Nanjing. The three religions are indeed planning to take action when their highnesses return. Their large troops should have hid in the Taihang Mountains by now." Xu Sima added:

"We have now sent out scouts to keep an eye on the necessary routes out of the mountain. If there is any trouble, we will know it as soon as possible."

"Where are my second brother and the others now?" Zhu Zhen asked again.

"Your Highnesses plan to go through Beiping, Baoding, Jingding, Shunde, Zhangde, and cross the Yellow River from Bianliang." Xu Sima replied: "Then they will go to Fengyang via Bozhou to worship their ancestors and then return to Beijing. Today they should leave the boundaries of Peking."

"Where do you think the Three Churches will take action?"

"Oh, it's all possible. The Central Plains are flat and flat, and it's the same wherever you go." Xu Sima said: "If it were me, I would ambush in the upper reaches of several large rivers, advance by land and water, and attack them halfway across the river."

"It makes sense." Zhu Zhen said with deep approval: "How big is such a river?"

"The big rivers in the Central Plains all flow from Taihang." Xu Sima said with a wry smile: "There are more than ten of them."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but complain: "Why can't your highnesses walk along the canal? It's close and safe!"

Zhu Zhenxin said haha... Go ask the damn old thief.

ps. Today is the weekend, two updates.
