Chapter 129 Perfect interpretation of what it means to goose plucking
When Liu Chang hummed a little tune, raised his head high, and walked arrogantly to the door of Jiaofang Hall, he saw the emperor kneeling at the door of the hall.
"Brother?? What are you doing here?"
Liu Chang's eyes widened.
"Eldest brother is here..."
Liu Ying smiled bitterly, shook her head, and did not answer.
"Are you here to pay homage to grandma? Come, let's go, let's pay homage together."
Liu Chang shouted, then he helped his brother up, held his hand, and walked into the Jiaofang Hall. The attendant at the door of the palace hurriedly came forward: "Your Majesty... The Queen Mother has ordered that I feel unwell... Your Majesty, you can go in."
, Your Majesty, please go back."
"Ah? Feeling unwell? Then it's more important to go see... Let's go!"
Liu Chang took Liu Ying's hand and continued walking forward.
The two servants helplessly stood in front of them, "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass us..."
"I'm giving you a hard time? Get out of here if you are smart enough! Be careful, I'll cook you!!"
"King!"
Seeing that they were still standing in front of him, Liu Chang became furious. He whipped out his brother's sword and slashed it at the man in front of him. Liu Ying was shocked and grabbed Liu Chang's arm.
It tilted and directly tore open the valet's shirt, almost disemboweling him. The valet trembled all over, stepped aside shivering, and fell to the ground suddenly, stunned.
"Shuzi! How dare you disregard human life?!"
Liu Ying was furious.
"Hahaha, brother, why are you so angry? I have learned swordsmanship from Mr. Gai for more than ten years. If I really want to take his life, brother can't stop me... Okay, if you want to scold me, wait until I have eaten.
!Let’s go!”
Liu Chang dragged Liu Ying into the Jiaofang Hall.
The attendant trembled and followed behind the two of them, looking helplessly at Empress Lu.
Empress Lu's face was calm and she didn't even look at them. Liu Chang rushed to Empress Lu's side and cried pitifully: "Mom! Your two servants are so bullying! How dare you stop me and prevent me from entering the pepper?"
Fangdian, after we disagreed, he actually wanted to hit me. If I hadn't practiced swordsmanship, I would have suffered a big loss... Please help me kill them!!"
"Haha, you are getting more and more comfortable telling lies now..."
The faces of the two attendants became even paler, and they looked at Empress Lu in despair.
Empress Lu then turned her head, looked at the two attendants, and said coldly: "You failed to guard the door. You should have been executed... I will spare you this time and go out."
"Thank you Queen Mother!"
The two of them paid their respects and then left the Jiaofang Hall.
After they left, Lu Cai asked disdainfully: "In your eyes, am I such a cruel person? Do you still want to devise a plan to protect the two close servants?"
"Ah? Mom, what are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Liu Chang's eyes widened in confusion, blinking in an innocent manner.
Liu Ying stood aside, rubbing her hands and not daring to speak.
However, Liu Chang ordered the palace maid not far away: "Go and get some food. We, mother and son, are all still hungry!"
Empress Lu did not dissuade her, but she did not go to see Liu Ying.
"Mom... Did my brother make you angry? Okay, wait a moment, I'll get you a stick!"
Liu Chang quickly brought the wooden stick, put it in Empress Lu's hand, and pointed at Liu Ying.
"He is the emperor now, how can I dare to reprimand him?"
Queen Lu threw away the stick.
Liu Ying paid her respects, "Mother, my sons and ministers are unfilial... Back then, when my father was still alive, I didn't dare to be disrespectful to my eldest father and eldest mother. How could I dare to be disrespectful to you?"
"You still have the nerve to talk about your father? Your father will never be influenced by the officials... In these days, no matter what the officials report to you, you are sure... How could your father and I do this?
Is there a son like you?"
The deep disappointment in Queen Lu's eyes could no longer be concealed.
Liu Ying said seriously: "Mom, I have been screened by all the ministers. What they report is all for the benefit of the country and the people. How can I not obey it?"
"Okay, let's eat first..."
Looking at the food being served, Liu Chang shouted, and then he started to make rice with his head down, stealing meat from his brother and mother from time to time. The two did not continue to argue and started eating.
"We haven't had dinner together for a long time... Well, brother, I want to see my soldiers, just once, okay?"
"no!"
The Queen Mother and the Emperor said in unison.
Liu Chang shrank his head in grievance, "If it doesn't work, it won't work. Why are you yelling at me?"
"Eldest brother, the ministers have long been dissatisfied with the issue of your personal soldiers, and Prime Minister Cao has reported it several times... I still find a way to keep it for you, but you can't act ostentatiously!"
"Official ministers? It's that thief Cao again! Wait until he gets old, and see if I don't pluck out his beard one by one!" Liu Chang cursed.
"Snapped!"
This time, it was Empress Lu who slapped him on the back of the head.
"Don't be disrespectful to Prime Minister Cao! Eat your food!"
Liu Chang murmured in a low voice while eating his meal.
"Mom... Prime Minister Cao Wence and Prime Minister Xiao decided to implement a new set of Han laws, which reduced many cruel corporal punishments. Compared with Qin laws, it is much simpler... What do you think of this matter?"
Liu Ying suddenly asked.
Before Empress Lu could answer, Liu Chang raised his head and asked expectantly: "Does your new law allow driving in the city?"
Empress Lu pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, Qin's laws are strict and restrict everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation. That's because the Qin State wants to use war to complete the unification. Now that the world is unified, there is no need to summon the people at any time.
In war, you can practice new laws..."
The two chatted about important things, and soon they were back to the past, as if they had forgotten the previous unpleasantness.
After finishing the meal, Liu Chang stroked his belly proudly and headed to Tianlu Pavilion in a swagger.
"Fifth brother!"
Liu Chang happily grabbed Liu Hui's hand and said, "Congratulations to Fifth Brother!"
“There are no words to express congratulations on the occasion of mourning!”
Liu Hui carefully ordered Liu Chang to remember the etiquette of Sangqi, and then asked: "What do you want to say, eldest brother?"
"Fifth brother... I heard that Gong Buhai went to Liang Guo to serve as prime minister... Now, Liang Guowen has Gong Buha and military guards. Fifth brother is full of talents, unlike me in Tang Dynasty...
The people of the Tang Dynasty are suffering. Only Prime Minister Zhang is struggling to support him...and there is no one to help him...There are enemies on all sides, but there is no qualified general..."
"Do you want to defend yourself or do you want me to be safe?"
"What are you talking about, Fifth Brother! How can I snatch away your minister of civil and military affairs... It's just that I heard from Luan Bu that there were many strong generals in the Liang Kingdom who followed Peng Yue to defeat Xiang Yu. But because of Peng Yue, they are now dismissed.
, was imprisoned... Fifth brother, our country of Tang is in short supply of such talents, can you give them to me?"
"Eldest brother! It's not that I won't give it to you... I'll give you whatever you want... But most of these people are related to Peng Yue. I'm afraid that they may have bad intentions and may harm you in the future."
"Harm me?"
"Brother, you are so worried. You don't know about my friendship with Peng Yue. I had a banquet with Peng Yue at the beginning. After several words, he was astonished and called me Gao Xian. Now, he writes to my mother.
You will still mention me when you are here!”
Liu Chang smiled stupidly, "What's more, my deceased wife, Luan Bu, turned out to be Liang Taipu and a close relative of Peng Yue. He didn't harm me either?"
"In that case...well, I will write a letter to Gong Buhai...and ask him to send the person to the Tang Dynasty."
"Thank you, Fifth Brother!!"
Liu Chang searched for a while and finally found Liu You, "Gong...oh, Brother Six is okay?"
Liu You asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with my eldest brother?"
Liu You didn't even dare to look at his brother, and his voice was very low. He had to listen carefully to hear clearly.
"Well, I heard that the Wu Kingdom is full of talented people...many of the fierce generals who fought with Yingbo..."
"Okay, I'll write a letter right away."
It was probably the first time he was requested, the first time he felt needed. Liu You trembled all over, and a smile appeared on his face for the second time. The last time he was so happy was when Liu Jian kissed him, so he hurriedly started writing a letter.
, Liu Chang sat aside. Liu Chang was much taller than Liu You. Liu You was next to Liu Chang, only as tall as Liu Chang's shoulders.
After thanking Liu You for his generous donation, Liu Chang sat down next to Liu Heng with a smile.
Liu Heng put down the book in his hand and said confidently: "I have no food and grass in Korea, no war horses, no civil servants, no farm tools, no strong generals, no ministers, nothing... What are you going to do, eldest brother?"
"Brother, I heard that there is a county in South Korea, Huanyang City. It is located in a dangerous location and is a connecting point for all parts of the world... We, the Tang Dynasty, are very short of supplies. I want to borrow a port here from you to send Tang merchants there.
Here, we stock up on supplies and trade with merchants from all over the world..."
For the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on Liu Heng's face.
