When Empress Lu travels, she is very low-key and basically does not notify the officials in various places. If the officials take the initiative to come to greet her, she will not be happy and angry. If she has this time, can't she go do something practical for the people? Pretend here.
What kind of loyal minister?
When Liu Bang travels, he is the opposite of Empress Lu. He makes a big fanfare, relies on front and rear, and wishes he could use a microphone to shout around: Your emperor is back!
He enjoyed the feeling of being "eaten by the common people to welcome the emperor's army". Sitting on the emperor's carriage, he stretched his neck as much as possible so that he could see the people around him, their faces full of smiles.
Laughing. From time to time, he would turn around and brag to Chen Ping, bragging about how popular he was with the people.
Chen Ping had long been used to it. He was not surprised and nodded calmly. No matter what Liu Bang said, he just nodded.
When Liu Bang came all the way to Luoyang and took Empress Lu back with him, Chen Ping escaped from the sea of misery because Empress Lu succeeded him.
Empress Lu had a cold face, listening to Liu Bang's endless bragging, suppressing her anger and saying nothing.
"When I return to Chang'an this time, I will execute Han Xin. What do you think?"
Liu Bang suddenly asked.
Lu Hou was expressionless and just replied: "It's all up to your Majesty to decide."
This does not seem to be the answer Liu Bang wants to get.
He smiled and asked: "The Prime Minister sent me a letter, saying that you protected Han Xin and refused to kill him... He is very dissatisfied with you. Why is this?"
"Because of the prince."
“Prince??”
Liu Bang asked in surprise: "What's the matter with Ying here?"
"The prince came to persuade me, saying that he wanted to regain Han Xin for his own use. Therefore, I did not take action. If your Majesty wants to kill him, then do it. I will not protect him."
Liu Bang didn't believe this at all. He said disdainfully: "Instead of telling me that Liu Ying has such an ambition, it would be more reliable to say that Liu Chang wrote books and founded the sect."
Empress Lu didn't explain at all, she just turned her head.
When Liu Chang was sleeping in the Jiaofang Palace, a palace maid suddenly woke him up and said that the prince had summoned him.
When he lazily sat up and was in a daze on the bed, Liu Hui hurriedly came to find him. Seeing his appearance, he couldn't help shouting: "Get dressed quickly! Father is coming back! We all have to go."
Welcome!"
"It's so cold outside...why don't I go?"
Liu Chang sat on the bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"What are you talking about! Get up quickly!"
Several palace maids rushed up and dressed Liu Chang. Liu Hui dragged Liu Chang and left the Jiaofang Palace. The princes were already ready. Ruyi was still wearing the crown, looking majestic, but Liu Chang was half-squinting.
He stood there with his eyes closed and took a nap, without even sarcasm Ruyi.
Liu Ying was not here. When they left the palace, there were already soldiers guarding the city. After finally reaching the outside of the city, Liu Ying was here, chatting cordially with a group of ministers. The princes and ministers were
Standing in two separate places.
After waiting for a long time, Liu Bang and Empress Lu were nowhere to be seen.
"Chief, go wash your face! Everyone is watching, don't be rude..."
Seeing Liu Chang yawning several times, Liu Heng finally couldn't help it and spoke to persuade him.
Liu Chang was stunned. He pointed at the other prince angrily and said, "I just yawned. Jian simply fell asleep. Why did you only talk about me and not him? Why is my brother so unfair?"
In the distance, the infant Liu Jian was sleeping soundly in the arms of the palace maid.
Liu Heng's face twitched, he gritted his teeth and ignored this shameless person.
Naturally, the ministers were also looking at the princes and these future princes and kings. Ruyi's body was upright, with his hand on the hilt of his sword, majestic and heroic, quite like Liu Bang. Liu Heng stood respectfully,
His face was calm, and even though he was looked at by the officials, he didn't show any emotion at all.
Liu Hui kept returning gifts to the ministers, generous and gentle...Liu Chang...yawned, and when he saw the ministers looking at him, he rolled his eyes, or simply stared back fiercely. What do you think the labor and management are doing?
?Be careful and catch you to build the palace!!
After waiting for about half an hour, Liu Bang's bicycle frame finally arrived.
The prince took the lead in saluting and shouting, and everyone saluted in succession.
Liu Bang stood up happily and greeted the ministers. He got out of the car, went to help Xiao He and other ministers, and said kindly to Xiao He: "Thanks to the prime minister for this crusade against rebellion, the generals all said: Food and grass never last half a day.
The interruption is all due to the Prime Minister!"
Xiao He stood up and said, "This is because of the prince's merits... I am just assisting the prince in his actions."
Liu Ying looked at Liu Bang eagerly. Liu Bang glanced at him disdainfully, ignored him, and led the ministers back to the palace. The princes hurriedly came to pay their respects.
"My dearest greetings to you, Holy Lord?"
"I beg you!"
"My dearest greetings to you, Holy Lord?"
"I beg you!"
"Son...ah~~Saint Ann?"
"I...what did you do last night?"
.......
In the Xuanshi Hall, Liu Bang was listening to Xiao He's report on recent major events. Prince Liu Ying and Liu Chang were sitting on both sides.
Speaking of which, Liu Chang was confused. It was okay for his father to leave Xiao He and his second brother behind. Why would he leave behind himself?
What's wrong with you here?
Can it be over quickly? I have to go back to sleep!
Xiao He mainly talked about the achievements of Prince Liu Ying during this period of time, and he was full of praise for Liu Ying.
Soon, Liu Bang asked Xiao He to leave. Facing Liu Ying, his eldest son, Liu Bang felt a little complicated. He pondered for a moment and said: "You did a good job... You can listen to the correct advice of the ministers. This is a qualified person."
A king must have the ability... From now on, don't be idle anymore. Come and sit in on the court meeting and learn how to govern..."
Liu Ying was a little excited and choked with sobs as she said, "Thank you so much, father."
Liu Bang grinned and said, "Go and catch up with the Prime Minister..."
Liu Ying was stunned, nodded heavily, and left in a hurry.
Liu Bang then looked at Liu Chang. He stretched out his hand and waved towards him. Liu Chang carefully sat down next to him, "I didn't do anything..."
"Tell me everything about Han Xin in detail, don't tell lies!"
Liu Bang became very serious, and Liu Chang asked: "Where to start?"
"It starts when that person suddenly appears next to your master!"
"Well...that person suddenly appeared, and then the teacher felt very wrong..."
"Later, I snatched...borrowed Ruyi's horse and rushed out to find the teacher...At that time, hundreds of elite knights came to chase me, but I was not afraid at all!"
"I grabbed the master's long sword and let out a loud roar. Suddenly, everyone was shocked. In an instant, I jumped up suddenly, jumped over the four or five soldiers in front of me, and stepped on their heads... just like a dragonfly.
, rushed all the way to Kuai Che, and beheaded him with one sword!"
As he spoke, Liu Chang seemed to have thought of something, and changed the topic and said: "At that time, I was very afraid that Master would be executed, so I wanted to ask my mother for mercy. But my mother told me that my second brother had already begged for mercy.
Okay, let me not meddle in other people’s business..."
Liu Bang squinted his eyes and listened carefully.
"You asked the prince to beg the queen, right?"
"how do you know??"
Liu Chang's eyes widened.
"Oh, you, you still want to play tricks in front of me? These tricks you did, I did when I was a child... ahem, keep talking!"
"Then the master was locked up... The second brother even took me to see the master..."
Regarding Han Xin, Liu Bang had obtained six different pieces of information, each of which told something different. In order to verify, he decided to learn the truth directly from this silly son when no one told Liu Chang.
Sure enough, the truth was pretty much what he thought.
The father and son were chatting when suddenly, Mrs. Qi arrived.
Liu Bang was overjoyed and stood up hurriedly. Mrs. Qi threw herself into Liu Bang's arms. Liu Bang sniffed with a smile, then laughed and hugged her and sat down.
He was about to make the next move when he suddenly saw Liu Chang staring straight at him.
Liu Bang's old face turned red and he cursed: "What are you still doing here?!"
