"When I come back this time, I will rest for a while."
Liu Ying asked seriously.
Liu Chang smiled bitterly, "This can't be done... the war is not over yet, I still have to go back with my troops... Tang State cannot be in charge without me."
Liu Ying was silent for a long time, and then said: "Then just sit in the rear and don't rush to kill anymore."
"Don't worry, brother, it won't be like this."
Liu Ying nodded and said: "You are the king of the Tang Kingdom, not a powerful general... You have many powerful generals under your command. There is no need to charge personally. You should learn more from the Marquis of Huaiyin and stop learning from Xiang Yu!"
"
Liu Chang said proudly: "I am in the Tang Dynasty, and my blessings on all things are like the sun in the sky. How can the sun perish? No one can hurt me!" When Liu Chang spoke like this, he was an old tyrant, and Liu Yingdu
He couldn't help but laugh, "If you had been born a thousand years earlier, you would have become like-minded friends with Xia Jie!"
Empress Cao also chuckled and asked, "Did the king ever take concubines in the Tang Dynasty?"
"Oh, I am just taking care of important matters of my family and country, and I haven't even..."
"When I return to the Tang State this time, I will completely integrate Henan into the Tang State, establish a county, send civilians to build a city here, and then build a road so that I can go there at any time... I am also planning to build a palace in Henan.
..As the concubine of the widow, it is very refreshing and the most comfortable place in summer..."
"Chief! We must put the people first!"
"oh..."
"Brother, I'm going to leave in three days. I'll go to see Sister A first, then go to Taixue to see Daxian, and then I'm leaving."
"Well... don't go empty-handed, don't cause trouble when you go to Taixue, and respect those great sages..." Liu Ying kept talking about the truth, and Liu Chang listened helplessly. This brother of his own has nothing to do with it.
Well, he always talks about some great truths, and Liu Chang can't help but listen.
Over the years, Empress Lu gradually delegated power to Liu Ying, and Liu Ying was responsible for more and more things. Liu Ying also made some progress. With Empress Lu as her support, she really did a lot of things, the biggest of which
, he convened the world's great sages and compiled a "Lunar Calendar". This book recorded all agricultural matters. Liu Ying promoted this book to the whole world and required all officials to study it.
Liu Chang left the palace and went to see his eldest sister and her father-in-law.
"Hahaha, sister-in-law!"
Liu Chang happily greeted Zhang Ao. Zhang Ao raised his head, looked at the tall Liu Chang, and hurriedly returned the greeting, and asked Zhang Yan to come out to greet his uncle. Liu Chang looked at Zhang Yan in surprise, smiled and patted his shoulder.
, "Why have you grown so big?"
"uncle!"
Zhang Yan greeted him respectfully. He was taller than his mother, but he still looked very well-behaved. Liu Le rolled his eyes at Liu Chang, snorted and turned away, ignoring Liu Chang. Liu Chang smiled flatteringly and sat down.
Liu Le's side, "Sister? Big sister?"
Liu Le is a bit petite, not even as good as Empress Lu, so when Liu Chang sits with her, it feels like a big bear sitting next to a rabbit, especially when the bear bows its head towards the rabbit with a flattering face.
, the scene is really unspeakably inconsistent.
"You're such a bastard..."
Liu Le opened his mouth, and without even cursing a few words, tears kept falling.
Liu Chang was helpless and hurriedly confessed.
"I am Shuzi, I am guilty, and it is my fault that I make my eldest sister worried..."
Seeing Liu Le's appearance, Zhang Ao couldn't help but frown and reprimanded: "Why are you still crying when I come to see you? He is fine! Why is it like this! What the eldest brother did is a heroic act..."
"Whoever loves to be a hero should do it. There is no one left in the Han Dynasty? Let the princes and kings go to war in person?"
Liu Le directly interrupted Zhang Ao's words. Zhang Ao was a little angry and was about to reprimand him, but when he saw the bear-like eldest brother sitting next to Liu Le, he still shut his mouth. The guy just didn't say anything.
, sitting there, there was a sense of oppression, a fierce look, and it was really scary to look at.
"Sister...don't be mean to my sister-in-law...he said the same...hey! hey!!"
Liu Le grabbed Liu Chang's ears, "Why, can't I tell you?!"
"That's right! That's right!"
"You've grown up, haven't you?!"
"No, no."
Looking at the grinning Liu Chang in front of him, Liu Le let go. Zhang Yan just lowered his head and suppressed a smile. Liu Le saw his expression and cursed: "What are you doing here! Why don't you go out and prepare food for your uncle?"
!!I just keep giggling here all day long, and I don’t have any eyesight at all!”
After enduring the unforeseen disaster, Zhang Yan hurried out to prepare.
After finishing the meal, Liu Chang said goodbye to his eldest sister and invited her to come to the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Ao and Zhang Yan went to see him off in person and walked out of the house. Zhang Ao sighed and said, "Eldest brother, you will
But it can’t be like this anymore... Your eldest sister heard that you were leading the army on an expedition, and she couldn’t find her whereabouts, so she fainted..."
"After I woke up, I cried to come to Chang'an..."
"Before you do anything, you have to think about your family."
"Not only your eldest sister, but also King Zhao, King Chu, King Liang, King Qi, and King Wu all couldn't sit still... You almost caused chaos in the world. Don't you know? When the King of Changsha heard the news, he insisted on
He was going north with the army... The army almost reached Nanyang. The ministers were shocked and hurriedly impeached him. That is to say, the Queen Mother was kind and pardoned his crimes and let him go back... You almost killed him.
Life."
"The King of Liang made several memorials and requested to send troops, but the Queen Mother refused. He then transported a large amount of grain to the Tang Dynasty... Even his minister came to impeach him..."
"King Zhao even directly sent out all the troops from across the country."
"The King of Qi sent his son to lead the army to rescue..."
Liu Chang was stunned when he heard this. He scratched his head guiltily, "Oh, I didn't expect...I will thank them...I won't do this again in the future."
Zhang Ao nodded and said seriously: "You have grown up. You must think twice before doing something. You are not just a person. There are many people behind you who love you..."
After Liu Chang left his eldest sister, he did not go to Taixue, but came to Fan Mansion.
Fan Hui was very happy for his arrival. Fan Hui looked at him as if he had seen his elder brother when he was young, or himself when he was young... Fan Hui insisted on letting Liu Chang sit next to him and join him.
After drinking and eating, Fan Hui talked endlessly about the past wars. He showed off his achievements and told how when he was young, he took the lead and conquered the city first.
Liu Chang did not flinch, and proudly talked about how he rushed into the enemy camp and seriously wounded the king of the Huns with his spear.
The two exchanged their experiences as strong generals, but hearing those words frightened the aunt.
After the two drank wine, they wandered around the mansion again. Fan Hui walked on the road and said with a smile: "You are doing really well! If your father was still here, he would be very happy, and maybe he would still be there."
I’ll treat you to a drink...Kang Na Shuzi wrote to me and complained to me, saying that he was not being used seriously and that he missed arrows every day..."
"Hahaha, you did the right thing!"
"That guy is used to being arrogant, and he doesn't have the courage like you. When he goes to the battlefield, he will either be killed by the enemy or by his own general... He should be given more training."
"Run the army with strict discipline. Don't condone them because of family ties or anything else. If they cause trouble, deal with it according to military law and don't take it into account! This is also for their own good."
"Chief, if you can't charge, don't charge... You don't know... Among those old brothers, only those of us who rushed at the front died the fastest... When I was young, I was injured like
It was a peck and I didn’t care at all... When I am old, my whole body hurts and there are wounds everywhere... I can no longer draw the bow."
"If I am no longer here... my family will be entrusted to you."
"Help me educate Kang and the people of the city well, and take good care of you."
Liu Chang was silent for a moment, "Uncle, you are stronger than me, and you have to live."
"Hahaha, I can't even beat your aunt now..."
"I remember my uncle couldn't beat him before."
"You're such a bastard!"
The two talked for a long time. Fan Hui yawned, pointed to the tree not far away, and said: "Go, I'll go back and rest first!"
Liu Chang was stunned and watched Fan Hui leave. He took a few steps forward and happened to see Fan Qing hiding behind a tree. Fan Qing looked red with shame and stamped her feet, "How did Father see me!"
"
"Maybe it's because you smell so good..."
Liu Chang said.
Liu Chang took the initiative to flirt, and Fan Qing became even more flustered, hesitating and speechless.
"You hung up a few sachets, which made my nose itchy. Didn't you go take a bath?!"
Liu Chang continued, and Fan Qing became furious, "What did you say!"
Fan Qing and Liu Chang sat down, and Liu Chang talked about his troubles.
"You don't know...I was still complacent about my achievements, but my brothers almost got into trouble and I hurt them...I thought too little and had too little experience."
"I sometimes wonder...whether the war I started is right...many people died..."
When Liu Chang sat next to Fan Qing, he would not brag or make some grand remarks. He would always talk about the things in his heart that he did not dare to tell others, including his troubles and entanglements, and Fan Qing
Just listening to him carefully, a pair of eyes were almost engraved on Liu Chang's body, and he didn't move at all.
"What do you think?"
When Liu Chang turned to look at her, Fan Qing looked away and said, "I think you did the right thing. If you didn't fight, more people would die at the hands of the Huns.
..The sacrifices made now are to protect more people..."
Liu Chang laughed and said, "It makes me feel a lot more relaxed when you say that."
"I have always liked fighting. I thought how cool it would be to ride a horse and gallop on the battlefield. But many of my brothers died along the way... I took away a thousand people, and now only 700 are left.
...Others will never come home again...and many brothers are injured...sigh...war is not a good thing."
"I don't like fighting now...but sometimes, I have to fight..."
Liu Chang said softly.
Fan Qing suddenly closed the distance and carefully leaned her head on Liu Chang's arm. She also wanted to lean on Liu Chang's shoulder, but Liu Chang was too tall for her to lean on. Fan Qing also started to grow taller.
After all, she is Fan Hui's daughter, much taller than Cao Shu, but she still looks very small next to Liu Chang.
When Fan Qing leaned on Liu Chang, Liu Chang was just stunned but said nothing.
The two sat down quietly. If possible, Fan Qing really hoped that time could stay at this moment forever.
"I'm going back...I have to go to Taixue tomorrow."
After Liu Chang left, Fan Qing returned to her room. She sat on the bed in a daze, with a dull look on her face. She didn't even know her mother had walked in. Lu Yu looked at her daughter with some emotion and sat down on her gently.
Next to me, "Qing?"
Fan Qing suddenly woke up, turned around and looked at her mother beside her.
"Mom!"
Fan Qing smiled, but tears fell from his eyes.
Lu Yu hugged her into her arms. In her mother's arms, Fan Qing finally couldn't help it and burst into tears, "Mom...am I bad? Am I ugly?", Lu Yu
He hugged his daughter and sighed, "How could it be? Over the years, I don't know how many people have come to me and want to marry you..."
"Then why doesn't he like me?"
"How could he not like it...it's just that he can't feel it himself."
"You have grown up together, and he can't tell whether he is a friend or a lover to you... This is normal."
Seeing that her daughter was still crying, Lu Yu frowned and said seriously: "Don't cry! I will teach you a way to make him confess his feelings to you!"
Fan Qing wiped the tears on her face, raised her head and looked at Lu Yu.
"You lied to me!"
"No...come on, listen to me..."
When Lu Yu returned to the main room, Fan Hui was waiting for her.
"how?"
Lu Yu didn't answer, she just sat aside and said with some displeasure: "Do we really want our daughter to be a concubine?!"
Fan Hui laughed, "I'm just a butcher, and you're just a rich man... Why do you care about what those rotten people say? As a caring person, he will never treat you badly. With him taking care of them, they
Everything will be fine..."
"I don't understand...why are you in such a hurry to marry her off? Or even prefer to be someone's concubine?"
Fan Hui pursed his lips and said with a smile: "We are all old... It would be good to find her a home."
Lu Yu didn't speak any more, and the two of them prepared to rest.
At night, Fan Hui, who was lying on the couch, had sweat rolling down his forehead and his whole body was trembling slightly. Fan Hui gritted his teeth and stared angrily, enduring the severe pain all over his body. This iron-clad general, however,
There was never a call.
...
The next day, Liu Chang came to Taixue early in the morning.
For Taixue, Liu Chang is definitely a well-known figure. After all, Fu Qiubo, who is in charge of Taixue, brags about the king of Tang to the students all day long, and encourages them with the deeds of the king of Tang. He even says
There is a saying like "There is no wiser person in the world than the King of Tang Dynasty".
Fuqiubo's attitude made many people look down upon him. Even Shusun Tong didn't praise the King of Tang so openly, but you did.
But Fuqiu Bo was completely different from Shusun Tong. He was very tough. When he met with Emperor Gao, he was always outspoken and dared to be tough with Emperor Gao. He was completely different from Shusun Tong. Therefore, Emperor Gao
Shusun Tong was re-appointed just now, but Fu Qiu Bo was not appointed, so Fu Qiu Bo went to Chu State.
Even facing Empress Lu, this person dared to say things that many people dare not say. For example, when Empress Lu was considering whether to delegate power to the emperor, Fu Qiube met the empress dowager and said, "The emperor is gentle and knows etiquette, and the patient he treats is...
You are a strong minister, the Queen Mother is now in charge of the two palaces, and none of the ministers have ever deceived the emperor, why not let your majesty handle matters?"
Empress Lu then delegated power to the emperor.
When Fu Qiu Bo learned that the Tang Dynasty King was coming, he immediately brought everyone to greet him. Liu Chang also liked the old man very much and hurriedly went to meet him. The two exchanged warm greetings and complimented each other. Fu Qiu Bo took the
Liu Chang went to visit Taixue, and Fuqiubo said happily: "After the king reorganized Taixue, Taixue has taken on a completely new look and has trained many capable officials!"
"There are systems in place in all aspects. It is no longer as lax as before, and even the sons of powerful people dare not look down upon it..."
"This move by Your Majesty will really benefit the country!"
"All the students of Imperial College should thank your Majesty for your kindness!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Fuqiu is too praised!"
Liu Chang said modestly.
The two were walking and chatting. The students of Taixue looked at Liu Chang in surprise and looked at each other. Liu Chang said seriously: "The students of Taixue are all the best young people of our Han Dynasty. I will attack the Xiongnu this time and regain the territory."
We have arrived in Henan and are planning to establish counties here, which will require a lot of officials."
"Tai Xue has a great responsibility and hopes to send more officials to the Tang Dynasty to govern these naturalized areas."
"Although these places are remote, the things they can teach are a great merit."
The purpose of Liu Chang's coming to Taixue was very simple. He came to seek officials. Fuqiu Bo understood immediately and immediately recommended several good students to Liu Chang. Liu Chang met them and chatted with them for a long time with a smile. In the end, Liu Chang
Before leaving, the chief held Fu Qiubo's hand tightly and said, "Please help the Tang State. Everyone in the Tang State will never forget your kindness!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty! Tang is the bulwark of the world! How can I not help?!"
Liu Chang decided to leave. He first returned to the palace and said goodbye to his mother. Empress Lu didn't care. She just waved her hand and asked him to leave quickly. Liu Chang hugged little Liu An and kissed her many times, seriously.
He said: "While I'm away, take good care of your eldest mother... Do you understand?"
"Don't make her angry, listen to her!"
"mother!"
Liu An just shouted.
"Call me father!"
"mother!"
"father!"
"mother!"
When Liu Chang said goodbye to his family and came to the city gate, preparing to return to the Tang Dynasty, Lu Shizhi chased him angrily.
"uncle?"
Liu Chang looked at him in surprise, got out of the car in a hurry, and went to see him.
Lu Shizhi was very angry. He leaned on crutches and asked angrily: "Why don't you come and steal my sheep? Did you look down on me as an uncle when you went to Tang Dynasty?"
Liu Chang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly explained: "Uncle... This time I attacked the Xiongnu and ate sheep for half a year, so I didn't mean to be contemptuous."
"I don't care about that, someone is here!"
Lu Shizhi gave the order, and immediately a family member brought the sheep to Liu Chang. Just as Lu Shizhi was about to speak, he suddenly coughed again. After a moment of relief, he looked at Liu Chang and said seriously: "Take it back."
Eat... If you come to Chang'an again next time, you must come to my mansion... Your eldest brother is not close to me and never pays homage to me..."
Liu Chang thanked him, accepted the sheep sent by Lu Shizhi, and sent his uncle away respectfully.
Liu Chang was about to leave, but Fan Qing came again.
Liu Changdi cooed and walked up to her, "What are you here to give me?"
"A messenger."
"Say it."
"I'm getting married next month...you can come and join me then."
"What did you say?!"
Liu Chang's eyes widened and he shouted.
