"Think about it for yourself, why is Marquis Huaiyin alive to this day?"
"This is not simple. Except for Wu Chen, the king of Changsha, there are no princes and kings with different surnames... Why did my father kill him?"
"Changsha is a remote country with very little arable land. Next door is the Huainan Kingdom, the Jing Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom. Any one of these three countries is more powerful than the Changsha Kingdom. How dare he have any different intentions?"
Zhang Cang took a deep look at Liu Chang and said, "Actually, the young master is very smart, but he just refuses to study. Even if he does study, he only knows a general idea and does not pursue more profound content, so he always has only a half-knowledge. This kind of knowledge can fool a child."
It's possible, but it's not enough to govern the country."
Liu Chang grinned, "I know I'm smart!"
"Um...I mean, Master, you can study more."
"Master, let's continue talking about how to rescue him."
"It is impossible for the Marquis of Huaiyin to be released. Even if he is released, he will not be able to leave Chang'an and will be imprisoned for the rest of his life... He is too capable and dissatisfied with His Majesty. Your Majesty loves his talents, but he
Be afraid of his talent."
"And the prince...with all due respect, even His Majesty wouldn't dare to use it, let alone the prince."
"However, the young master just wants to get Marquis Huaiyin out of prison. This is not difficult... As long as Marquis Huaiyin is still useful to Your Majesty, that's all. In this regard, the young master can learn more from the queen..."
"Learn from grandma?"
Liu Chang narrowed his eyes, "Do you want me to kill the King of Changsha so that my father will have no more internal troubles?"
"Ah? No! No!"
Zhang Cang was startled and said hurriedly: "What I mean is that Your Majesty must see that the Marquis of Huaiyin is still useful... Even if he is not allowed to leave Chang'an, he can be released from prison and put under house arrest in Chang'an...
"
Liu Chang suddenly understood and asked: "Then how can we make the master useful?"
"The internal troubles have been eliminated, so naturally only the external troubles remain."
"And if the young master wants to guard the border... he will definitely need the ability to fight off foreign invaders..."
"So...I still have to confirm the feudal state first."
Liu Chang said seriously.
Zhang Cang reluctantly advised: "Actually, the Liang Kingdom is also very good... It is rich and has a large population, so why go to the land of Yunyan? Your Majesty has not said that he wants to kill the Marquis of Huaiyin, so why should the young master be so persistent?"
Liu Chang stood up and said, "Among the princes, I am the bravest. If I don't guard the country's gate, who will guard it? Like Ruyi, when he encounters the Xiongnu, his liver and gallbladder are broken, and he runs away looking for the wind. How can he resist foreign enemies? I was born in the royal family
, I have enjoyed wealth since childhood, so I naturally have to bear such responsibilities!"
"My second brother is so kind. I once swore to my parents that no one would bully him, no matter the Huns outside the Great Wall, the princes in the country, or the ministers in the temple. I am in charge of the Jin Kingdom, no one dares to bully him!"
"As for why I want to save Master... If one day, Master, you are also in trouble, I will do whatever it takes to save you... I will not give up even if my body is broken to pieces."
For some reason, Zhang Cang was actually a little moved when he heard the arrogant words of the man in front of him.
He shook his head hurriedly and said with disgust: "However, we have agreed in advance that if you really want to go to Jin country, I will not go with you. It is too dangerous there, and I haven't lived enough yet!"
"Why are the disciples of Xunzi greedy for life and afraid of death?!"
"I am not greedy for life and afraid of death. It's just that when Master was still alive, he persuaded me many times: A gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall, so I naturally have to follow Master's teachings."
Liu Chang always felt that this teacher was really to his liking. Sometimes, he really wanted to burn paper with him and worship him as a brother, the kind who would die on the same day, same year, same month, but Liu Chang thought again, and he still wanted to
Being so young, and this guy is already an old man, it would be a shame to become sworn friends.
...
Liu Ruyi was not an adult, but he was past the age of death. This time, Liu Bang wanted him to go to the feudal country.
Liu Bang had long given up the idea of letting Ruyi replace Liu Ying, and the officials gradually realized that Liu Ruyi posed no threat to the prince at all.
The only one who objected was Liu Ying. He still felt that his brother was too young. Even if he wanted to go, he would have to wait another four or five years.
However, when the emperor, Empress Lu, and the ministers reached an agreement, the prince had no say at all.
Liu Ruyi himself was still very happy. Sitting in Tianlu Pavilion, he once again talked about his grand ambitions, using the same old rhetoric: develop internal affairs and fight against the Huns.
Liu Ruyi boasted for a long time, but Liu Chang didn't come to refute her. She looked around and then remembered that Liu Chang was next door.
When Liu Fei went to the fiefdom, none of the brothers had any feelings, but when Liu Ruyi was about to go to the fiefdom, they were at a loss because the age gap between Liu Ruyi and them was not very big, and Liu Ruyi was going to the fiefdom.
country, then they are also fast.
Leaving the palace where they have always lived, going to a strange place and living alone, this not only makes them yearn for, but also scares them.
Liu Ruyi obviously has no fear, only longing.
"Ha, I smelled a foul smell next door. When I came in, I saw that it was you farting here again!"
Liu Chang stood at the door with his hands on his hips and spoke loudly.
Liu Ruyi said disdainfully: "I don't have the same experience as a kid like you!"
"Before taking office, he started calling himself a widower, which is shameless!"
Liu Chang cursed and sat next to Liu Hui. Gai Gong glanced at him and continued to read with his head down.
"After all, I still have a feudal country. Some people dare to call themselves widowers even if they don't have a feudal country. That's shameless! Isn't it, sir?"
"Oh, eldest brother, third brother is about to leave...you still want to make a fuss."
Liu Hui shook his head, "When Third Brother leaves, I wonder how much you will miss him. Please stop arguing with Third Brother these days and admit your mistake to Third Brother."
"Will I miss him? It's a joke. At most, I will wait until he is overthrown by the Huns and bring me fruits to him as a sacrifice."
Liu Heng asked: "Brother, have you set a date?"
"No, there were several court discussions, but only the second brother refused to allow it, and even scolded the imperial censor..."
"Then I have to go to the Chu Palace in person..."
"I'll go later."
Liu Chang waited until Gai Gong finished class and practiced swordplay with him before he told him what he thought.
He didn't say anything about saving Han Xin, but just asked Gai Gong how he could be granted a seal to the Jin Kingdom.
Gai Gong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. He had the same idea as Zhang Cang. The terrain of the Jin State was difficult. Even if Han, Wei, and Zhao were eliminated, it would still be a very large territory. If you want anything, you can have it. Above the temples, that is
It absolutely cannot be blocked.
"If it could be solved easily, I wouldn't come to see you, Master."
"Don't you have a tutor now? Why don't you ask him?"
Liu Chang said with disdain: "That Confucian scholar? What strategies can he have? His knowledge is not as good as yours, and his strategies are far inferior... Apart from having a good master and knowing a little bit, he is useless! I am now
I always feel sleepy after listening to his classes..."
Gai Gong smiled and said, "You can't say that about Taifu... He is still very knowledgeable. In fact, this matter is not difficult. Let me ask you, why does your Majesty make every effort to eradicate the princes and kings with different surnames, but turn a blind eye to the princes and kings with the surname Liu?
?”
Liu Chang was stunned for a long time, and then he shouted: "Although my father is a foolish king, those princes and kings are all close relatives. There is no way that my father can attack them!"
"Yes, the queen only thinks about the prince alone. As for your majesty...all the people in the world with the surname Liu are his close relatives."
Liu Chang seemed to understand something, "Master means... let me go directly to my father?"
Gai Gong smiled and said nothing.
.......
"I am ready to swear an oath to my ministers..."
Liu Bang was talking to Chen Ping about his thoughts, when suddenly a soldier reported, "My lord, sir!"
Liu Bang was stunned, waved his hand and cursed: "Tell him to get lost!"
After a while, the soldier came in again and said, "Your Majesty... the young master paid homage again and said that something big happened..."
Liu Bang sighed helplessly and asked the soldiers to bring the Zhuzi in.
I saw Liu Chang wearing extra formal clothes and a crown, walking into the Xuanshi Hall, carefully taking off his shoes, then trotting up to Liu Bang with his head lowered. This set of rules was set by the officials.
, that is, the etiquette to be followed when meeting the emperor. However, the princes have never followed it. Even Liu Ying did not practice such etiquette. After all, he was meeting his biological father.
At this moment, Liu Chang looked at Liu Chang blankly and hesitated to speak.
"My son, pay homage to your father!"
Liu Chang had a straight face and bowed to Liu Bang seriously.
"Pfft..." Liu Bang couldn't help laughing.
Liu Chang said in an extremely serious tone: "My son has come to see my father on important matters. Why should my father despise me?"
"Hahaha~~"
Liu Bang slapped his thigh and almost fell down laughing. The serious look on his face was so funny.
"Don't laugh! I really have something big going on!"
"Hahaha~~"
"Don't laugh! Don't laugh!!"
Liu Chang screamed in grievance, but Liu Bang almost died laughing.
