When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!
Chapter 368: Emperor Jing of Han Being Treated as a Fool
Emperor Jing of Han had a dignified face, eyes like lightning, and an intimidating aura without even being angry. His whole body exuded a terrifying aura.
With a sudden flick of his hand, the black whip in his hand drew a sharp arc in the air, and then hit the ground heavily, making a crisp and loud sound.
This sudden action startled the two people opposite, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.
The two of them widened their eyes and looked at the imposing man in front of them in astonishment.
Although we don’t know who Emperor Jing of Han is, just seeing how arrogant and domineering he is is enough to make people feel that he is a difficult person.
What’s more, he even dared to openly call himself the emperor, which made the two of them secretly surprised.
At this time, one of them took a step forward. He was tall, with a stern face, and his eyes revealed determination and courage.
He is Chen Ping, Chen Ping, Marquis of Quni.
Faced with the provocation of Emperor Jing of Han, Chen Ping remained extremely calm and showed no fear.
“Emperor Jing of Han? I have never heard of such a person. I am a minister of the Han Dynasty, Chen Ping, the Marquis of Quni! I wonder who you are, and how dare you speak so arrogantly and call yourself the emperor? Aren’t you afraid of committing the crime of disrespect?”
Chen Ping spoke righteously, his voice so loud and powerful that it seemed to pierce the sky.
Hearing Chen Ping’s words, Emperor Jing of Han frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
The name seems familiar, but I can’t remember where I heard it.
So he closed his eyes and tried hard to recall his past experiences.
Time passed by minute by minute, and after a few breaths, Emperor Jing of Han suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He raised his head, pointed at Chen Ping, and shouted excitedly: “Chen Ping? You…you are the Chen Ping who assisted Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang in pacifying the world?”
“Yes, it is me.” Chen Ping held his head high and admitted frankly.
After getting Chen Ping’s confirmation, the expression on Emperor Jing of Han’s face suddenly became extremely complicated.
I never expected that I would meet Xian Hou here today.
The emperor who could appear with Chen Ping must be a previous emperor before him.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jing of Han did not dare to be negligent any longer. He quickly put away the whip in his hand and carefully stuffed it into his trousers.
At the same time, his brain began to work rapidly.
Based on the appearance and temperament that Chen Ping now displays, with a little thought one can roughly infer which emperor is the person who appeared this time.
Emperor Jing of Han was shocked. He never expected that it would be his own grandfather, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang!
In an instant, his face changed drastically.
The face that was originally full of majesty and had eyes wide open as if about to be angry, instantly became amiable and kind, like a spring breeze.
Emperor Jing of Han immediately bowed and said with a smile, “Oh, it’s Marquis Xian. It’s been a long time since we last met. I didn’t recognize you at first.”
Chen Ping made a lot of efforts to help Emperor Wen of Han ascend the throne.
Emperor Jing of Han actually met Chen Ping when he was young.
However, Emperor Jing of Han was still young and ignorant at that time, and time passed quickly. Chen Ping standing in front of him now looked much younger than in Emperor Jing of Han’s memory, so it was not surprising that he could not recognize him for a while.
Since he ascended the throne, Emperor Jing of Han often read the confidential files and unknown records of the previous dynasty. He was naturally well aware of the great contributions made by Chen Ping, so he always had a deep gratitude towards him in his heart.
However, when Chen Ping heard Emperor Jing of Han call him “Marquis Xian”, it was his turn to feel confused.
He frowned and responded in confusion: “Did you recognize the wrong person?”
Emperor Jing of Han was stunned when he heard this, but after a little thought he understood.
The title of Xianhou was the posthumous title bestowed upon Chen Ping after his death!
It’s hard to explain. You can’t just say that this is your posthumous title.
“No, I’m sure Xian Hou will know the reason one day.”
After saying this, Emperor Jing of Han slightly straightened his slightly messy clothes, then turned to the man behind Chen Ping, bowed deeply, and said loudly: “Grandson Liu Qi greets Grandpa!”
At this time, Liu Bang was standing quietly behind Chen Ping.
When he heard Emperor Jing of Han bowing to him and calling him Grandpa Emperor, his eyes, which were already bright and sharp, suddenly widened into a look of astonishment. His mouth opened slightly, and he asked in disbelief, “You…what did you just call me?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping could not suppress his curiosity. He subconsciously turned around and his eyes fell on Liu Bang.
Chen Ping knew all of Liu Bang’s grandsons very well, and he would definitely not be so unfamiliar with the person before him.
Could this be the illegitimate child that Liu Bang secretly gave birth to outside?
Thinking of this, Chen Ping silently stepped aside, ready to watch the show and wait for the show to begin.
Emperor Jing of Han still replied politely: “I am your grandson Liu Qi, the sixth emperor of the Han Dynasty. I pay my respects to you, Grandpa.”
Standing in front of him was the founding emperor who laid the foundation for the Han Dynasty. Liu Qi did not dare to show the slightest disrespect.
Liu Bang was still confused. He shook his head and waved his hands, saying, “Brother, you must have recognized the wrong person. Look at your age. I am not much older than you!”
Seeing this, Liu Qi hurriedly explained: “Grandpa Emperor, this matter is quite complicated and difficult to explain at once. I will report it to you in detail later.” As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qi turned his head abruptly and glared at Emperor Wu of Han who was hiding aside to join in the fun, and shouted: “You rebellious son, why don’t you come over and pay your respects to your great grandfather!”
Emperor Wu of Han had been standing quietly behind Liu Qi, his sharp hawk-like eyes fixed on the front, his right hand quietly grasping the whip at his waist, as if he could whip it out at any time.
We must show the mighty power of Emperor Wu of Han to the younger generations.
However, at this critical moment, a voice came from the opposite side: “I am Chen Ping.”
It was like a thunderclap exploding in the ears of Emperor Wu of Han.
Emperor Wu of Han’s body trembled slightly, and his tense posture suddenly relaxed.
Emperor Wu of Han knew clearly who Chen Ping was.
I immediately understood who was coming this time.
He immediately threw the whip in his sleeve outside the warehouse.
Then, Emperor Wu of Han folded his hands across his chest, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking very interested, and it was obvious that he was ready to watch the show.
At this moment, Emperor Jing of Han turned around and pointed to Emperor Wu of Han.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Wu of Han hurriedly took a step forward, bowed respectfully, and said, “Great-grandson Liu Che greets great grandfather.”
Hearing this, Liu Bang was stunned. He widened his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him in astonishment.
I couldn’t believe my ears and wondered if these two people were crazy.
One kept calling himself grandpa, and the other was even more outrageous, actually calling himself great-grandfather.
What’s even more incredible is that these two people look about the same age as me.
At the beginning, Liu Bang was still somewhat wary.
The situation is unclear and I don’t know what these people who suddenly appeared want to do.
Now, my anxious heart is a little relieved.
He thought to himself, “It’s good that they are fools. Fortunately, they are fools. Since they acknowledge me as their grandfather and great-grandfather, at least they can guarantee my safety. In this case, I will play along with them.”
Thinking of this, Liu Bang cleared his throat, coughed deliberately, and then pretended to be calm and asked: “No need to be polite, um… dear grandson, tell grandpa, where are we now? Are we still on Baideng Mountain?” “Baideng Mountain?”
Emperor Jing of Han and Emperor Wu of Han looked at each other.
It immediately became clear what time point Liu Bang was in.
The Chu-Han Contention brought chaos to the world.
Liu Bang was fully immersed in the fierce war and had no time to care about anything else.
At this time, a man of great talent and strategy emerged on the northern grasslands – Maodun, the Khan of the Xiongnu.
Taking advantage of the war in the Central Plains, he quickly launched his conquest.
Maodun Chanyu led the brave and fearless cavalry to conquer the east and the west.
First, he went east to destroy the Donghu tribe, and then went west to attack the Dayuezhi, severely damaging its vitality.
Afterwards, he led his troops southward to invade the states of Yan and Dai. For a time, he was the most powerful and feared by all.
In this way, Maodun Chanyu became the undisputed overlord of the Mobei region with his powerful military force.
With the establishment of the Han Dynasty, conflicts between the two sides inevitably broke out.
One of the most famous battles was the Siege of Baideng.
At that time, Maodun Chanyu personally led 400,000 elite cavalry and besieged Liu Bang on Baideng Mountain near Pingcheng.
The siege lasted for seven days and seven nights. The Han army was heavily surrounded, with all communications between the inside and outside completely cut off, and there was no way they could get rescue.
Faced with such a dangerous situation, Liu Bang was extremely anxious, but he could not find a way to break out.
Just when everyone was feeling desperate, counselor Chen Ping came up with a brilliant plan.
He suggested that Liu Bang bribe Chanyu’s wife, Yanshi, with a large sum of money, hoping to persuade Maodun Chanyu to withdraw his troops through her.
Liu Bang had no choice but to act according to the plan.
After receiving bribes and persuading Yanshi, Maodun Chanyu finally agreed to open a corner of the encirclement, allowing the Han army to break out and finally arrive in Pingcheng to successfully meet up with the main force.
After this battle, although Liu Bang escaped by chance, the relationship between the two sides became increasingly tense.
Maodun Chanyu repeatedly violated the alliance between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu and carried out invasions and looting activities on the border.
In order to recuperate, Liu Bang married a princess from the royal family to Maodun Chanyu and sent Liu Jing as an envoy to accompany her.
He made an agreement with Chanyu Maodun: “The countries north of the Great Wall that draw bows will be under the command of Chanyu; the countries inside the Great Wall that wear hats and belts will also be under my control. All the people will be allowed to farm, weave, hunt, and have food and clothing, and fathers and sons will be inseparable, and the rulers and ministers will live in peace, and there will be no violence or rebellion.”
The Han and the Xiongnu made a pact of brotherhood.
The Han Dynasty gave the Huns large quantities of cotton, silk, grain, wine, etc. every year.
This eased the relationship between the two countries.
Emperor Jing of Han said: “Grandpa Emperor, you know that this place is no longer the Baideng Mountain of the past. It is now more than 2,000 years after the Siege of Baideng!”
Hearing this, Liu Bang couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
I thought to myself: Is he even more stupid than I thought?
He even made such a bold statement that in the world two thousand years from now, even a long-lived turtle would find it difficult to survive that long.
Chen Ping, who was standing aside, was also confused at first, but after listening to what Emperor Jing of Han said, he suddenly realized.
Just now he mistakenly thought that the person in front of him was Liu Bang’s illegitimate son, but now he realized that he was actually a fool.
I thought to myself, no wonder this guy recognized the wrong person and even recognized him as my grandfather on the spot.
Chen Ping couldn’t help but secretly shake his head, thinking to himself: How could it be so easy to become the emperor’s grandson in this world?
Zhu Ming walked over and said, “Old Liu, you seem to be quite smart on weekdays, why are you so confused now? Don’t you realize that the two of them are looking at you like a fool?
No one will believe me if I explain it to them with empty words.
Only by taking them out and seeing it with their own eyes can we believe it.”
“I’m just nervous.”
Zhu Ming said to the two of them, “My name is Zhu Ming. Welcome to the two of you. I guess you are also wondering why I am here. To be honest, I don’t know either. But this is not a good place to talk. Let’s go back to the villa first.”
Chen Ping and Liu Bang exchanged glances.
Finally, there is a normal one.
Chen Ping clasped his fists and said, “My dear friend, we have important matters to attend to. I hope you can tell us how to leave. We will come back to visit you when we are done.”
“You’ve been surrounded for several days and nights. I guess you haven’t eaten or slept well. Let’s go have a big meal first. Then I’ll take you back. Otherwise, you won’t be able to go back by normal means.”
“Can’t go back? What do you mean?” Chen Ping frowned, feeling a little uneasy. Could it be that the man opposite wanted to keep them here?
He has short hair and doesn’t look like a person from this dynasty.
Could it be the Huns?
“You will know when the time comes. As for you being surrounded by the Hun army, don’t worry. We will help you solve the problem soon.”
Chen Ping wanted to speak again.
Liu Bang waved his hand, laughed and said, “In that case, we are sorry to bother you. I am a little curious about your solution to the siege of Baideng.”
Get out of the warehouse.
Liu Bang and the other two looked horrified.
There was farmland all around and no familiar figures could be seen.
The only familiar thing was a whip on the ground.
“W-what is this place?”
“It’s definitely not Baidengshan!”
Zhu Ming smiled and said, “Don’t ask. This is no longer the era you live in. Let’s go and get in the car first.”
Commercial vehicles are speeding through the fields.
Liu Bang and Chen Ping looked at the rapidly receding farmland outside the window in disbelief.
Keep asking questions.
In the back row, Emperor Jing of Han and Emperor Wu of Han hurried to explain.
At the fork in the road, Zhu Ming said, “Based on the performance of the emperors before us, let’s not go back to the villa yet. Let’s go to the county town directly. It will be more convincing than any explanation.”
“Xiao Zhu, slow down, Grandpa Huang is carsick.”
“Luckily, I was prepared. I put a piece of ginger on the blood vessels on my right wrist with a band-aid, and rubbed the same place on my left arm with Fengyoujing, and put on a band-aid to ensure that I would not faint.”
Not long after, the group arrived at the small town. (End of this chapter)
