Chapter 99: One Word, Absolutely!
Hearing that the other party still called him Brother Liu, Liu Bang couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.
In order to get closer to the other party, I forcibly turned the other party into a brother, thinking that it would be somewhat helpful.
But he never expected that the other party would use this relationship to poach him in the end.
Now that he heard these two words, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, so he quickly showed a smile and said:
"Your Majesty, I didn't know your identity at the beginning, so I called you brothers. Please forgive me."
"It's absolutely impossible to do it now, so please..."
But before he could finish speaking, Zhao Lang waved his hand and said with great sincerity:
"Brother Liu, what are you talking about? Once we are brothers, we will always be brothers."
"If a family doesn't talk to each other, of course they have to take care of each other. Now, I'm very happy that you are coming back with half of the country,"
"Come on, come on, sit next to me today."
After saying that, he pulled Liu Bang to his seat, which was extremely intimate.
But at this time Liu Bang was numb. Why do you mean I came back with the country first? You are still thinking about my other half emotionally, right?
But now he couldn't refute it. Since he accepted the name of Da Qin, the Han Dynasty was now a vassal state of Da Qin.
What the other party said is legally correct.
Fortunately, he had already arranged for Zhang Liang to take Liu Heng and the others away from here.
It's just that when the other ministers saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a little weird.
Logically speaking, the sealing ceremony should be held now, giving the king's seal, giving the king's clothes, etc.
But now, it's just like a normal situation.
Of course, no one raised a voice to object. Anyway, this His Majesty has not acted in accordance with the rules once or twice, so let him go.
So everyone looked at their eyes, nose, and mouth, and stayed there honestly.
Zhao Lang said enthusiastically and emotionally at this time:
"It's been more than ten years since I last saw you. Brother Liu, your body is really strong."
One thing to note is that this man and his father are actually about the same age.
Dad has been in heaven for so long. This man has worked hard all the way and is in a wilderness, so he is indeed in good health.
Liu Bang's mouth twitched when he heard this. Although the other party's words were sincere, he always felt that the other party thought he had lived too long.
Of course, I couldn’t say this clearly, so I could only force a smile and say:
"Thanks to His Majesty, I am still in good health, but I am already very old."
You have to show weakness when it's time to show weakness.
Zhao Lang suddenly showed a smile and said:
"When people get older, they should enjoy more happiness, and leave those things of struggle to the young people."
Liu Bang smiled and nodded. He didn't dare to talk easily. Who knew where the other party would dig a hole for him.
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Zhao Lang felt a little regretful, but he could only force himself on, so he said:
"You have been away for these years, but you have suffered a lot from your sister-in-law and nephew."
When talking about his family affairs, Liu Bang relaxed a little and replied with a bit of guilt:
"It's my lack of thinking that has made them suffer all these years."
Zhao Lang smiled and replied:
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I'll help you as a brother."
"I heard that my junior brother came back with you, Brother Liu, but you didn't recognize him. It just so happens that you want to meet him."
Hearing this, Liu Bang instantly became vigilant, and heard Zhao Lang say to the slave beside him:
"Go and ask my junior brother to come over."
The slave showed a strange expression, glanced at Liu Bang, and then walked out.
Not long after, a young man with a serious expression came in.
When he saw the other party, Zhao Lang immediately smiled and said hello:
"Junior Brother Liu Ying, come here quickly, you may not have seen your father for a long time!"
Of course the person coming was Liu Ying.
Just seeing the other party, Liu Bang was a little confused. How could his son become Zhao Lang's junior brother?
At this time, Liu Ying walked to Zhao Lang's side with a cold expression, and then said:
"Senior brother, this is not my father, but Liu Bang, the King of Han."
He followed the other party all the way, but didn't feel any warmth.
In fact, he was sure that the other party had recognized him on the road, otherwise he would not have looked at him quietly many times.
But the other party's attitude was extremely indifferent. His heart had already turned from the initial excitement into an indifferent stone.
The care the other party gave him was not even one-tenth of what his senior brother gave him.
Our senior brother is the second generation of the Qin Dynasty, but every few days, we have to take time to spend half a day with him.
Whether reading or playing, accompany him.
It wasn't until he finished his studies that he went out to travel and then entered the army.
There have been letters exchanged all the time.
With this kind of companionship, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is half a father.
Just hearing this, Zhao Lang suddenly became angry and said:
"Junior brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"I know you feel aggrieved, but Brother Liu is your father after all. Don't you know that blood is thicker than water?"
"Besides, for whom did your father work so hard to open up new territories in the wilderness for whom?"
"Isn't it for you, the younger generation, to accumulate family property?"
"Why can't you be more understanding!"
"Do you still want Chinese filial piety? Even if you feel angry, you should think about your mother!"
After some scolding, Liu Ying bit her lip aggrievedly, and finally saluted Liu Bang and said:
"I met my father."
Hearing this, Zhao Lang suddenly smiled, then took Liu Bang's hand and said with emotion:
"Brother Liu, don't blame my junior brother."
"He has suffered a lot in these years and has a somewhat fierce temper. You have to understand."
Liu Bang listened to Zhao Lang's words at this time, and then looked at the aggrieved but determined Liu Ying beside him, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
He understood very well what the other party meant by what he just said.
The other party is completely dissatisfied. He wants half of the country, but the other party wants all of it!
As Liu Ying is his son, he naturally has the right to inherit his family property!
The other party has been with Liu Ying for more than ten years just for this day!
So vicious!
But what can he do now?
I could only say tremblingly:
"What your Majesty said is that this matter is all my fault, and I will make up for it in the future!"
He didn't know if he still had a chance to bring Liu Ying back.
But now I can only agree.
Hearing this, the smile on Zhao Lang's face became brighter and he said:
"Okay, okay, today is a double blessing!"
"Come on, let's start the banquet, let's all have fun together!"
Soon, Cong walked in with the drinks and dishes that had been prepared. For a while, the hall was full of joy.
It’s just that all the ministers and nobles looked at the people above with strange expressions, and unanimously sighed in their hearts:
If you want to be cruel, you have to look at your Majesty.
Look at how this was done, in one word, absolutely!
