Liu Chang was grabbed by the neck and lifted directly up, waving his hands and feet wildly.
"You stole it from me, right?!"
The old man who caught him was very old, but he was still powerful. If you look carefully, you can see that this man is about 70% similar to Liu Bang, but his skin is darker, his body is strong, and his eyebrows are thicker, which also makes him look thicker.
Loyal.
Liu Chang smiled awkwardly, "Father! You are at home!"
This person was Liu Xi, Liu Bang's second brother. On the third day after his father's death, Liu Bang called his second brother over and asked his heirs to pay homage to him. He called him "eldest father" to show his respect for his elder brother. Words
The general meaning is that your great father is no longer here, and he will be your great father from now on. You should respect him as you respect your father.
At this moment, Liu Xi looked at the little ones running around with a sullen face, except for one little guy who was so frightened that he trembled and did not dare to move.
Liu Chang said with a smile: "eldest father, this is Lu Zhongfu's child, named Lu Tazhi... I brought him to visit your eldest father. This is a gift I prepared. It is not respectful."
When Liu Chang shamelessly handed him the mulberries he had just picked from Liu Xi's house with a smile, Liu Xi couldn't help it.
"Since it's a visit, why don't you come in through the front door?"
"I didn't dare to knock on the door just because I was afraid of disturbing my eldest father's rest."
"Hahaha!"
Liu Xi smiled and put Liu Chang down, "Don't run away! If you want to eat mulberries, just tell me. Why go and eat them secretly?"
"Go pick them all and eat whatever you want!"
Immediately, he leaned down, looked at Lu Tazhi, and asked kindly: "Is your uncle okay?"
"good."
"Well, tell him not to forget me and come see me when he has time."
"good!"
Liu Chang took the lead and took everyone to eat mulberries, while Liu Xi sat not far away and looked at them happily.
After eating half full, Liu Chang came down and sat next to Liu Xi.
"Big father, where are my two brothers?"
"Bi is in the army... I don't know what he is doing. Guang is on a study tour with his friends... There is no one at home..." Liu Xi kept talking. Unlike Liu Bang, he didn't understand.
He didn't know how to fight a war, but he was just an honest farmer. When Liu Bang was very young, he was often compared with Liu Bang by his elder father.
The general meaning is, you see how much like me your second brother is, honest, hard-working, and willing to work, but why are you not like me at all? You are always fooling around, even if you don't work, you are always looking for trouble.
Liu Bang had a very good relationship with his eldest brother. When he ran out of money, he went to his eldest brother's house to earn money. The eldest brother had a headache to take care of this younger brother. As for his relationship with his second brother...it's hard to say.
Therefore, after he became emperor, Liu Bang still made fun of the old lady, "How do you think my current career compares with that of my second brother?"
Later, Liu Xi was named acting king. As soon as he took office, he encountered a large-scale attack by the Xiongnu. Liu Xi, who knew nothing about politics and war, was so frightened that he hurriedly fled back to Chang'an. Liu Bang became furious and pointed at him.
He cursed with his nose: "If it weren't for your parents, I would have killed you now!"
However, after the death of Liu Taigong, Liu Bang, who lost his parents, had a significant change in his attitude towards his second brother, and began to cherish the only elder who was still alive.
"I heard that you are going to seal the country?"
"Yes, Tang State, it is said that the ministers are discussing whether to abolish Dai State and give Dai County to me."
Liu Xi's expression was a little complicated, he lowered his head and said nothing.
"Uncle! When I go to the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely avenge you! I will definitely capture the Xiongnu Chanyu and bring him to Chang'an!"
Liu Xi smiled, put his hand on Liu Chang's shoulder, and said calmly: "It will be good if you can protect the territory well."
While the two were chatting, someone hurried into the house and shouted loudly: "Father!!!"
The children were all frightened by him, and Lu Tazhi was so frightened that he almost fell down.
Liu Xi turned around suddenly and cursed: "Why are you yelling at home?!"
The person who came was none other than Liu Xi's eldest son Liu Bi. As his name suggests, Liu Bi was very powerful in today's clan. He was tall and powerful. Although he was young, he had already fought several battles as a cavalry commander.
Fierce and brave, he laughed when he saw Liu Chang, walked quickly to Liu Chang's side, and picked him up.
"The overlord of our family is here!"
"No nonsense!"
Liu Xi cursed again.
Liu Bi smiled and held Liu Chang with one hand, "What do you want to eat? Are you hungry?" Without waiting for Liu Chang's reply, he turned around and shouted to his servants: "Go kill a sheep! What are you doing watching?"
!”
"Brother, it's no need. I'm just here to visit my eldest father."
"Hey, why are you being polite to me? Come on, come with me and go eat the sheep!" Liu Bi put Liu Chang on his shoulders and walked toward the inner courtyard with him on his back.
Liu Chang likes this elder brother very much. He is bold, brave and enthusiastic. Compared with Liu Guang's boring gourd, he is much better.
Everyone ate the meat, Liu Chang and Liu Bi devoured it, almost chewing off the bones of the lamb.
"Eldest brother, I heard that His Majesty made you the King of Tang. His Majesty also said before that he would make me King. I am begging for mercy, hoping to make me King of Yan! I don't want to hide in the Central Plains. When the time comes, we brothers
Everyone works together, fuck him..." Liu Bi subconsciously wanted to say something dirty, but suddenly remembered that his father was still there, so he smiled and did not continue.
"Okay, okay, but if I capture the Xiongnu Chanyu in the future, the head must be mine! You can take away his flag!"
Liu Bi was stunned and exclaimed: "My brother is so ambitious!"
When he came out of Liu Xi's place, Liu Chang was already very full.
Lu Lu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, my father made a pond with a lot of fish... Do you want..."
"What are you talking about? If you want to eat fish, just tell your uncle. Why do you need to steal it? Besides, I'm not hungry now. I'll wait until I am!"
What Liu Chang didn't know was that at this moment, the officials were involved in a fierce quarrel because of the issue of his fiefdom.
Although the Jin Dynasty was changed to the Tang Dynasty, the fiefdom was still a bit too big, especially when Liu Bang said that he would give Shangjun to Liu Chang, which made everyone reluctant. Although Shangjun was not as threatening as Hedong, it could easily steal Chang'an's land.
Butt, how can such an important place be given to the princes and kings?
And Liu Bang also had his own considerations. After all, the places where the Huns could invade, except Zhao Dai, were Beidi and Shangjun. If this most brave son was placed near Zhao Dai, what about the northwest? He must be given a bridge.
, allowing him to send troops to the northwest and stop the Huns from all aspects.
As for whether Dai should be eliminated, that would cause a bigger controversy, because if Tang were to be enfeoffed, a lot of territory would overlap with Dai.
Finally, after discussions among the ministers, Shangjun was divided into two, and Hexi County was established. The discounted Shangjun, Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, Yanmen County, Yunzhong County, Jiuyuan County, and Dai County were established as the Tang Dynasty.
, and eliminated Dai Guo.
This Tang State is second only to Huainan State in terms of territory and second in population to Qi State, but its terrain is extremely dangerous. Shangdang connects Zhao and the Central Plains, and is the gateway to Chang'an. If there is any unrest among the princes in the east, Tang State can directly suppress it.
At the same time, you can overlook Yingchuan, Nanyang, and Huaiyang from Shangdang across the river. If the princes in the south make any moves, they can also send troops.
And Daijun has penetrated into the northern land. If the princes in the north have any changes, they can also send troops.
As for Shangjun, Jiuyuan, Yanmen, and Yunzhong, they directly defended the temples and faced the Huns from three directions.
Liu Bang and his ministers were very satisfied with the result. The Tang State could not contain the temple and had to defend the temple from all directions. It was not too small and not too big, just right!
"In the past, the Zhou Dynasty was under the supervision of the second generation. The three saints established laws, established five ranks of nobles, granted eight hundred kingdoms, and had more than fifty people with the same surname...it is impossible to be close to relatives, praise the virtuous, praise merits, and influence the rise and fall of all. Deeply rooted and consolidated, this is impossible.
The one who dials it up. Therefore, when the Zhou Dynasty is prosperous, Shao will rule it, resulting in wrong punishment; when it is declining, the five uncles will support the weak ones and guard them together..."
"The prince is a eldest son, a filial son and a kind grandson, a Bo Xun and a Zhongchi. He is generous to others, diligent and thrifty, benevolent to the people and loves things. He is gentle and honest, has bright virtues and is kind to others. He hides as deeply as if there is nothing in him. He is neither reserved nor prudent..."
The young Liu Chang was dressed very formally. At this moment, he was kneeling down and listening to Zong Zheng loudly praising his moral character.
I saw that Liu Chang was neither arrogant nor impetuous. Even when he heard such praise, he accepted it humbly. He was neither humble nor arrogant. Everyone could not help but marvel, what a prince!
Zong Zheng continued to praise like this for nearly half an hour. He spent half of the hour telling everyone how perfect a benevolent and righteous gentleman Liu Chang was, enough to serve as the king of princes. Liu Chang did not feel a little impatient. Even after Zong Zheng finished speaking,
He is still a little reluctant to give up. Can you talk for a little longer?
After praising Liu Chang, he naturally wanted to talk about the origins of the Tang Dynasty, and then forcefully explained the origins of Liu Chang and the Tang Dynasty. In the end, Liu Chang was given a gongmian. This gongmian was black and matched with a nine-pin crown.
Xuan Yi Shang, Yi Huilong, Mountain, Hua Chong, Fire, Zong Yi five-character pattern, Shangxiuzao, Fenmi, 黼, 黻 four-character pattern, as luxurious as you want, as luxurious as you want.
Xuanyi has dragon patterns on the shoulders, mountains and stars on the back, fire patterns on the sleeves, Chinese insects, Zongyi patterns, seaweed patterns on the clothes, two pink rice patterns, two embroidered patterns, and two embroidered patterns on the knees. In addition, there is a middle single to cover the knees.
, all four kinds of weaving, including six-color large and small ribbons, jade hooks, jade pendants, gold hooks, jade rings and red socks and ruffles.
When Liu Chang turned around like this, his clothes all over his body rustled. Liu Chang was so excited. These clothes look so good!
When he faced the ministers, everyone bowed to him.
"I will pay my respects to the King of Tang!!!"
"I will pay my respects to the King of Tang!!!"
Liu Chang smiled stupidly and buttoned up the pattern on his clothes, "I...can I wear this every day?"
"No, this is the king's auspicious dress and can only be worn on auspicious days."
