Chapter 1312: Veteran


"My son led the civil and military ministers of the Western Qin Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty to welcome my father back to the capital.

Long live, long live."

As Zhao Lei bowed down, the civil servants and generals behind him also bowed down and shouted: "Welcome the Holy King back to the capital, long live, long live" Zhao Ziliang, who was fully clothed, jumped off his horse, walked to Zhao Lei and helped him up.

He then said to the civil and military ministers behind him: "I have asked you to wait for a long time.

Please get back on your feet.

Let's go back to the court."

The civil and military ministers all stood up, and Zhao Lei said to Zhao Ziliang: "Father, get in the car."

Zhao Ziliang looked at the luxurious carriage drawn by sixteen horses next to him.

He got on the carriage and sat down under the service of a eunuch.

When he saw Zhao Lei getting ready to ride, he waved to him: "Lei'er, come up."

Zhao Lei hesitated for a moment and agreed: "Yes."

The father and son were riding in a carriage together.

After Zhao Lei got on the carriage, he made a gesture to the eunuch beside the carriage, and the eunuch shouted: "Get up and drive back to the palace."

Driven by the charioteer, sixteen horses pulled the carriage forward slowly.

The civil and military ministers and all the soldiers who came to greet them turned around and moved towards Xinjing.

Zhao Ziliang turned his head and looked at the big trees and houses on the roadside, and asked: "How has the situation in the DPRK been in the past few years?"

Zhao Lei knew in his heart that although his father had abdicated, he could definitely learn about the situation in Western Qin at any time.

It was impossible to hide anything from his father.

He replied respectfully: "These days In recent years, relying on the prestige of my father, my son has been able to control the affairs of the court, and the ministers in the court have also fulfilled their duties and worked diligently on the royal affairs."

Zhao Ziliang turned to look at Zhao Lei and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that's not the case.

Gu is not dead yet.

You, the new king, can't let go.

Many old officials in the court have followed Gu for many years and have made great contributions to Western Qin.

Over a long period of time, Yes, these people are inevitably arrogant, and Gu is not in Xinjing, so they must be a little presumptuous in their actions.

Not to mention other things, there is always someone who relies on his elders and betrays them.

You can't replace them all because of Gu's face. ".

When these words came out of Zhao Ziliang's mouth, Zhao Lei felt much more relaxed after hearing them.

His original worries and tensions were gone, "Father is wise, my son has let you down."

Zhao Ziliang sighed: "It seems that your father, Gu, has put too much pressure on you.

Gu is an insurmountable mountain for you, isn't it?"

Zhao Lei lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Yes, my father's great achievements will definitely be recorded in the annals of history and be admired by future generations.

From childhood to adulthood, my father has always been the object of study and worship by his children, thinking that one day The son will definitely surpass his father.

In the past, the son was more confident and more energetic, thinking that he would be a good king.

It’s not a big deal, but after taking the throne and truly handling military affairs in an all-round way, I realized that this king is not easy to be, especially with my father’s great achievements.

Although the civil and military ministers respect me as the king, they have no regard for the decrees I issued.

Most of them support it, but I always feel constrained and unable to do what I want.”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, reached out and patted Zhao Lei on the shoulder and said: "Son, you have to understand that you are you, and your father is your father.

You and your father are different.

You don't have to follow the steps of your father."

Go on the road you have passed.

Your mission is completely different from your father's mission.

My father's mission is to establish Western Qin, create a new dynasty, and eliminate the surrounding enemies that threaten our Western Qin.

My father's mission has already been It’s almost completed.

Now it’s up to you.

Have you thought about it?

You are in charge of the power of ruling the Western Qin Dynasty.

Do you have a detailed plan for your ruling career?

Have you drawn a map in your mind?

A grand blueprint.

What you should do when playing chess at the beginning is not to take one step and look at three moves, but to lay out the plan and then refine and improve it according to the general framework you have laid out, and gradually complete the blueprint."

"Son, you are not a county magistrate, nor a prefect, nor a general, but the supreme king of Western Qin.

You stand at the pinnacle of Western Qin's power, and you can see farther and wider than anyone else.

Be far and broad.

You must have a broad plan and a big picture in your heart.

My father has laid down a vast territory for you and has hundreds of millions of people.

You have a good start.

This magnificent picture of the Western Qin Kingdom Volume, my father has completed the general framework for you.

Don’t you still know what you are going to do?

It is more than enough to be a conservative king with your talents, but if you want to be praised by future generations and leave a mark in the history books, Mingjun, who has made a serious decision, still needs to work hard.

My father will have to live in Xinjing for two or three months.

During this time, you should think carefully about what you want to do.

You can come to see your father at any time."

Zhao Lei bowed and said: "Yes, father."

Zhao Ziliang closed his eyes and leaned on the backrest.

After a while, he asked: "Are Gu Yao's prisoner army ready?"

Zhao Lei cupped his hands and said: "Ready, there are 80,000 people in total.

They are currently stationed in the Tocharo Protectorate.

All training subjects were completed two months ago.

The establishment is also organized according to the plan sent by the father. , all generals, officers and military commanders at all levels are in place, but the candidates for a few generals have not yet been determined.

Does my father have other arrangements for the candidates?"

Zhao Ziliang said: "I still need to think about this matter.

I will wait a few days before deciding on the candidate to lead the army."

"Yes."

Zhao Lei agreed, thought for a moment and asked, "Second mother, you didn't come back with your father."

Zhao Ziliang said: "She is too old, and her body cannot bear the long distances she often travels.

Besides, my father can only stay in Xinjing for a few months this time before heading west.

It is impossible for her to follow.

Your second brother will stay here."

In Chang'an Supervisory State, she had someone to take care of her while she stayed in Chang'an, so her father simply let her stay in Chang'an for her retirement."

Zhao Ziliang's return from Chang'an still alarmed many people.

Many people in Xinjing came outside the city to greet him spontaneously without any organization.

This shows that although he has abdicated for many years, his status in the hearts of the people is still very high. high.

In addition to the people in Xinjing, many retired ministers and generals had also received the news and were waiting outside the city early.

He could ignore the others, but he could not ignore these retired ministers and generals. them.

After a lot of work, Zhao Ziliang moved into the Ice Palace.

The next day, he ordered the coffins of the two princesses to be sent to the royal cemetery for burial.

Du Zongwu went to protect the tombs as the envoy, and the civil and military ministers of the Western Qin royal court wore sackcloth and mourning.

Even Zhao Lei was no exception and escorted along the way.

A few days later, Zhao Ziliang was summering in the Ice Palace, but he heard his chamberlain Cao Yingxiang coming to report: "Your Majesty, Chu Ge, Bai Xiaode, Wei Meng, Bo Lehan and others are asking for an audience."

These people are all veterans who followed Zhao Ziliang back then.

They are all older now.

They have retired one after another in the past few years and retired to take care of themselves.

Zhao Ziliang was a little surprised when he heard Cao Yingxiang's report: "Oh, what are these old guys doing here?

They can still climb up the mountain?"

Cao Yingxiang said: "A few people are waiting outside the palace gate."

Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Okay, let them come in."

"promise" After a while, Chu Ge and several other veterans, dressed in casual clothes and led by Cao Yingxiang, walked out of the side hall where Zhao Ziliang was.

When everyone saw Zhao Ziliang, they clasped their fists and bowed in salute: "Veteran ministers, please pay homage to the Holy King."

"No gift."

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and told Cao Yingxiang: "Go and give the old generals a seat and bring a few bowls of iced sour plum soup."

"promise" The veterans all smiled, clasped their fists and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Thank you, Holy King."

Wei Meng carelessly sat down on the chair and looked around.

When the sour plum soup was delivered, he took a sip and said with a smile: "Oh, it's cool in the Ice Palace of the Holy King.

Our old Wei family has no wind at the foot of the mountain.

The winter is actually quite warm, but it’s really hard in the hot summer.

Your Majesty’s sour plum soup here is also very good.

It’s sweet, ice-cold, and makes me feel very refreshed.

Your Majesty, please lend your cook to me.

How many days will it take?”

Zhao Ziliang laughed and scolded: "You old guy, you always come here to eat and take away the food, but this time it's better.

You also want to get rid of Gu's cook.

I tell you, don't even think about attacking Gu's autumn wind again in the future."

"Hahaha" all the old ghosts laughed.

While everyone was laughing, the chamberlains brought tea for the retired veterans to enjoy.

While drinking tea, everyone chatted about past events, which made everyone reminisce.

Talking about some things in the past, especially the past when everyone followed Zhao Ziliang to lead the army in battle, these old ghosts were all very excited.

As they talked, they were immersed in the prosperous years of the past and could not extricate themselves for a long time.

Zhao Ziliang also had a good time chatting with these old ghosts, and ordered the chamberlains to ask the cooks to prepare wine and food.

He left these people for lunch at noon.

During the banquet, Zhao Ziliang ordered the chamberlains to call some maids to perform dances to entertain them.

Seeing the young and beautiful palace maids dancing with graceful and graceful movements in the middle of the hall, Wei Meng was so excited that he howled with excitement.

After drinking some more wine, he couldn't help but slap the table and shout loudly: "Okay, okay, this dance is just It should be in heaven, how many times do we see each other in the human world?

Look, look, these little girls, their waists are so twisted that they make my heart shake."

These words were a bit presumptuous.

Chu Ge's white eyebrows couldn't help but tremble.

He turned to look at Wei Meng and said in a deep voice with a rather ugly face: "Old man Wei, after a few cups of burning urine, you will forget where you are."

Do you want me to pour a basin of cold water on you so you can wake up?"

Wei Meng came back to his senses and couldn't help the cold sweat on his vest.

He said with a smile: "Drink too much, drink too much."

At this time, Zhao Ziliang nodded to Cao Yingxiang, and Cao Yingxiang clapped his hands and said to the maids who were performing the dance: "Okay, everyone, go down."

All the old ghosts knew at a glance that Zhao Ziliang was unhappy, and looked at Wei Meng with unkind expressions.

Wei Meng came back to his senses at this time, knowing that he had provoked everyone's anger, so he shrank his neck and became more honest.

Zhao Ziliang took a sip of wine and asked: "The Qing family came to see Gu today.

I'm afraid they don't just want to ask for a drink from Gu.

If you have anything to do, just tell me.

If nothing happens, I won't send you.

Gu will have to take a nap
