Chen Mai looked at his father in confusion, his face turning red with anger.
Chen Ping narrowed his eyes, "I allow you to play with the children of other nobles, but I have never allowed you to mix with the children of the royal family."
"The king is heroic and treats us very well. We all respect him! He is my eldest brother! I am willing to play with him!"
"Oh, really?"
"Do you remember that I taught you that it is never a good thing to have a relationship with someone from the royal family?"
"But aren't my father and the prince very close?"
Chen Ping did not have the patience to continue explaining to his son. He just shook his head and said, "From now on, you should stop going out and study at home. I don't ask you to go further. As long as you don't lose our family's title,
that's enough."
"I!!!"
"I will definitely surpass you in the future!"
"I will earn a title myself!"
Chen Mai was very aggrieved and his eyes were red. This was the first time he yelled at his father, but Chen Ping didn't scold him or hit him. He just calmly picked up the book and ignored him.
...
In most families, the male host is not at home, such as Xia Houying, Fan Kuai and others, but fortunately, their hostess is not stupid. Mr. Fan was the first to prepare gifts, and his mother was very supportive of him.
His behavior required him to get closer to the prince, Liu Chang and others. He did not hesitate at all and prepared gifts directly. Among all the families, he contributed the most.
The wives of Zhou Bo and Xia Houying also went to the palace to pay homage to Empress Lu.
"Hmph! Shu Zi is naughty! I will definitely discipline this Shu Zi!"
Queen Lu said angrily.
Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "Your Highness, they have always been messing around in the past. This time, they are doing something serious. I hope that Your Highness will not blame you... The main reason we are here this time is to have a chat with you, dear friend."
On the battlefield, family matters fall on us..."
Mrs. Xiahou hurriedly followed, "Yes, but Her Royal Highness the Queen is the best at managing the family. The son-in-law has the world in mind and can lead the children on the right path... This is a good thing, and we will never object to it."
The three women just chatted here and there, talking about common things, complaining about the problems at home, complaining about the naughty children, and chatting happily. They are not stupid, they dare not not support the prince, Liu Chang is
Born princelings, they came this time not to inquire, but to report. If anything happened in the future, they would have filed a record with the Queen in advance, and the Queen would take care of it.
Empress Lu obviously understood what they meant, and she also ordered them to bring their children to the palace more often. Empress Lu had never been afraid of Liu Chang, and she knew that Liu Chang would definitely be Liu Ying's most determined mother in the future.
The most loyal barrier, Liu Ying has a weak temper. If he goes there by himself, the ministers and nobles will definitely bully him. At that time, Liu Chang, the strong-willed prince and king, will teach them how to behave.
And Liu Chang is now uniting the second generation of nobles. In a sense, this is also a good thing. Most of these people will inherit their father's title. Liu Chang is a born princeling. Not surprisingly, these people will also follow Liu Chang.
I will always support Liu Ying and protect Liu Ying together in the future.
It's just Liu Chang's bastard character... I can only hope that he can restrain himself a little when he grows up. But this can be regarded as pros and cons. At least, Empress Lu can be sure that if someone bullies Liu Ying, Liu Chang's arrogance will definitely
Dare to hit him to death with your car! This is what other princes dare not do. No matter how much they respect their brother, they will still hesitate and hesitate, but Liu Chang will not. If he says he will hit him to death, he will hit him to death.
This kid has always been quite... straightforward.
Liu Chang will soon follow his brother to Shangjun. All his friends came to see him off, but Chen Mai did not come.
This made Zhou Shengzhi very angry. He cursed angrily: "This guy is afraid of losing money, so he avoids us and refuses to come out to meet us!"
"Chen Mai is not that kind of person!" Liu Chang said confidently: "Something must have happened to delay the delay... Let's do this, Mr. Fan, go to Chen's house and keep an eye on him until Chen Hou leaves.
, let’s climb over the wall and enter Chen’s house, and find Chen Mai to find out!”
That's what Liu Chang said, and he did exactly that.
When Chen Mai saw his disgraced elder brother leading everyone into the study, he was so excited that he almost cried.
Of course he also told the reason, "Father doesn't allow me to play with the king..."
Liu Chang waved his hand and said, "This is not a problem at all. I will go to see Chen Hou and I can convince him with a few words!"
.......
"Does Marquis Chen have some prejudice against the prince?"
When Empress Lu asked this question seriously, Chen Ping broke into a cold sweat.
"How dare you?!"
"Then why don't you agree with your children helping the prince in mining?"
"I don't know, I mistakenly thought it was a child's joke..."
"Oh...that's it, then it's okay. Please go back, Marquis Chen."
When Chen Ping left the palace, his face was filled with grief and anger. There was a traitor! There was a traitor! There were pig teammates everywhere! There were traitors everywhere! And Nai Gong was almost killed!
After being cheated several times, even a calm person like Chen Ping could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
He raised his head with a slightly angry look on his face. He hesitated for a moment and then released his fist, "Forget it, it's not worth it."
If he wants to deal with someone who is stupid, there are many ways to do it. So far, Chen Ping has never failed in trying to kill someone. Even powerful people like Han Xin, Mao Dun and others have fallen into his scheme. However,
Chen Ping is not such a paranoid lunatic. Getting rid of Liu Chang will not do him any good. If he is not careful, it will lead to disaster. Well, if you can bear it, bear with it.
Many people compare Chen Ping with Jia Xu, a counselor from the Three Kingdoms period. They are equally vicious and wise in protecting themselves. Some people even think that he is Jia Xu in the early Han Dynasty. In fact, Chen Ping and Jia Xu are different. Chen Ping is Chen Ping.
Ping, an extremely dangerous and restrained genius, a unique strategist.
Naturally, Chen Mai could come out to play with Liu Chang and the others again. It was Chen Ping who threw him out personally.
Chen Mai didn't care about this. He happily found his eldest brother and then followed behind him and continued fooling around.
Liu Ying finally settled the matter at hand and left Chang'an with Liu Chang.
Empress Lu did not say goodbye in person, but privately sent people to prepare everything they needed for the trip, from food to clothing.
Liu Chang sat next to his brother, said goodbye to his reluctant friends, and left Chang'an happily.
Liu Chang had to go to the mine to make something useful. There were many things in his mind, but they may not be applicable to this era. The previous farm tools are the best example. There were obviously so many thoughts, but in the end
, the farm tools he designed were simply not practical, and his efforts were in vain.
The group of them set off toward Shangjun in a mighty manner. Zhou Mansion, Xiahou Mansion, and Fan Mansion all sent a lot of food and a lot of manpower. Therefore, Liu Ying's carriage was followed by a long line of people.
Leader Liu of the team couldn't sit still at all. As soon as Liu Ying wasn't paying attention, he jumped down and started chatting with the people behind him.
But gradually, Liu Chang couldn't laugh anymore.
Walking east from Chang'an, you can see scenes of people's livelihood being exhausted, depression and desolation. But going west, there is no such scene of people's livelihood being exhausted, because there are no common people at all.
Along the way, Liu Chang had already seen four villages. Without exception, these villages had turned into ruins.
The small earth wall that originally surrounded the village has been cracked and blackened by the fire. The tattered wooden doors are swaying in the wind. Outside the village, large and small earth slopes can be vaguely seen, some of which have sunk in.
, revealing the dense white bones inside...Liu Ying slowly stretched out her hand and covered Liu Chang's eyes.
The situation in the county town was better. It seemed a little empty. At least there were living people. However, when the skinny people looked at Liu Ying numbly, Liu Ying seemed to be stung by the eyes and lowered her head in a hurry.
.
The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, but the world left by the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty was devastated. The Han Dynasty was groping in such a dark night, hoping to find a correct path.
"Second brother...are you crying?"
"No...the wind and sand here are too strong..."
ps: I have been busy depositing manuscripts these days, and I am very tired. I saw someone saying that Lao Lang never releases updates. This is a naked slander! Lao Lang has always been a hard-working and good writer who puts readers first.
There are so many that I can’t even count them. You must believe me!
