Liu Bang covered his abdomen and laughed until his stomach hurt.
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to laugh anymore...you continue talking."
Chen on the side had a straight face. He must have received professional training and would never laugh no matter how funny he was.
"My son learned that King Zhao was going to the fiefdom, and he yearned for it. Now, my son is no longer young and can be the king! Even if he can't go to the fiefdom, he can still have the name of the king. And my son heard the words of the ministers
, I want to use Huainan and Liang as fiefdoms for my subjects, but my subjects really don’t want to live in the Central Plains, and are willing to guard the frontiers..."
"Which minister said this?"
"Well, that's what I heard..."
"Who said that?"
"Uh... Liu Ruyi said it!"
Liu Bang glanced at him and asked with a sneer: "Do you want to have a feudal country so that you can brag to others openly?"
"I have been humble throughout my life, never reserved, never arrogant, never arrogant, never accomplished anything. How could I have a son like you?"
Chen Ping, who was standing behind him, couldn't bear it anymore. He simply lowered his head and closed his eyes.
Liu Bang pondered for a moment and then asked: "Where do you want to go?"
"Father, have you agreed?? I want the Kingdom of Jin to include Zhao, Han, Wei, Liang, Shangdang, Hanoi, Taiyuan..."
"roll!"
"Father... I don't want much. I don't want anything else. Just give me Hedong, Hanoi, Shangdang, Taiyuan, Yunzhong, and Yanmen..."
Liu Bang squinted his eyes, "Should I give you Chang'an too?"
"No, Hedong is close to Chang'an. If I miss my father, I can come over at any time!"
Liu Bang didn't speak anymore, and the atmosphere was a little dull for a while.
Liu Chang waited for a moment, then simply stopped pretending. He tilted his crown, spread his legs, and sat rudely in front of Liu Bang, "Father, just tell me, do you want to give it to me or not?"
"Oh, what if I don't give it to you?"
"If you don't give it, father, I will throw stones into whichever temple you stay at night."
"If you say that, then I know what to do..."
Liu Bang said and slowly took off his shoes.
"Father...joking...joking...joking!!!"
.........
Liu Chang was lying on the bed, and Liu Hui was applying medicine to him.
"Eldest brother...I look at your butt, I am more familiar with it than your face..."
Liu Hui shook his head, "Third brother is going to the fiefdom, next will be fourth brother, and after that it will be me... If I am gone, you must not make your parents angry again... otherwise no one will give you anything."
Apply medicine..."
"Fifth brother, don't sound so sad. I can go to your fiefdom to apply medicine to you at that time!"
Liu Hui couldn't help but laugh, "You can't be beaten after being granted the title of king. Besides, princes and kings cannot leave their fiefdoms at will..."
"Where do I want to go? Can anyone stop me?"
Liu Hui's face became serious, and he said: "Eldest brother, you are young now, so you can ignore etiquette, but etiquette and law are the basis for governing the world. When you are crowned king in the future, you cannot act like this, otherwise, all the princes in the world will
If you follow your example, you will harm my second brother!"
"Oh, whoever dares to follow suit, I will kill him with my chariot! I will capture his clan and build the palace, and then cook them!"
"A king must be based on benevolence and righteousness... You can't do this."
"Just let the second brother do the things of benevolence and righteousness!"
While the two were chatting, Liu Chang suddenly said: "I was tricked by someone, but he still vowed that it would happen, but when it didn't happen, I got a beating... It means I am a kind person, otherwise,
I must pay back this meal ten times!"
At this moment, Liu Bang rarely invited the queen to the Xuanshi Palace.
The couple was still the same as before, there was no topic at all, they just looked at each other without saying a word.
Liu Bang said helplessly: "Today, the chief came to me and said that he wanted to seal the country."
Empress Lu frowned, "Your Majesty didn't agree, right?"
"No promise... He wants Jin, Hedong, Hanoi, Shangdang, Taiyuan. I think he also wants Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Shangjun..."
"This cannot be promised."
Queen Lu said calmly.
Liu Bang looked at her in surprise, "Are you worried about treason?"
"Don't worry, even if everyone in the world rises up and rebels, it will never happen."
"Then you are worried about foreign enemies?"
"You are young, but you are brave, know how to employ people, and can resist foreign enemies."
"Then why do you object?"
"If you grow up, you will have heirs... In a few generations, this so-called Jin Kingdom will be a big problem for temples. Today's feudal kingdoms are too big. Chu Kingdom, Huainan Kingdom, Qi Kingdom, and Changsha Kingdom are all
In this way... when the children grow up, we can take the land from these big countries and give them to them."
"Then where do you think it can be sealed?"
"The Huainan Kingdom is the largest country with a large population. It can suppress Chu, Qi, and Changsha on both sides, and it can attack Liang, Wei, and Han in the north."
Liu Bang smiled and said, "Then what is the difference between this and Jin?"
Queen Lu said calmly: "I know Chang's character best."
"If he becomes a prince, he will never be restless. He will be much safer in Huainan."
"That's true."
Liu Bang was thoughtful and could not make a decision.
Gai Gong looked at Liu Chang who was fuming in front of him, but his expression remained calm.
"Master, you see, this is the result of telling my father directly, I am your disciple, how can you harm me?"
Gai Gong shook his head, "I've told you many times that the more anxious you are, the less likely you are to succeed. You can only blame yourself for being too eager. If you had taken things slowly, there would have been hope."
If he didn't respect Gai Gong's character, Liu Chang would have scolded him long ago.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "My father doesn't allow it, what should I do next?"
"If it doesn't work, I'll ask to go to Yan State!"
Gai Gong shook his head, "Don't be reckless...When you encounter something that cannot be solved, you can think more about whether there are people around you who can help you..."
Liu Chang lowered his head and thought about it. There was no need to think about his mother. Gai Gong's plan didn't work. Zhang Cang, the fat man, was just playing outside. Luan Bu didn't support him going to Jin at all... After much thought, Liu Chang lowered his head and thought about it.
, he felt that he could only ask the wise men.
In the Zhou Mansion, Liu Chang asked for advice and the wise men.
"I want to advance to the Jin Dynasty, but my father won't allow it. Do you have any good plans?"
The wise men scratched their heads, but none of them could solve the king's confusion. Liu Chang looked at Chen Mai, who thought for a long time and asked uncertainly: "How about the king ask the prince to intercede?"
"What role can second brother play in what my father decides..."
"Then why don't you, Your Majesty, just put it off like this? When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will definitely agree!"
"Bah, you should be careful what you say. Just these words of yours can kill your clan!"
The sages really couldn't think of any solution. Everyone bowed their heads in silence, and Liu Chang's heart dropped to the bottom. Could it be that this thing can't be done?
"King!"
At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly stood up and looked at Liu Chang blankly.
"What's wrong?"
"I will go to my father... my father to plead for mercy."
Everyone looked at him blankly, Liu Chang thought for a moment, and then jumped up suddenly, "Yes, Xiao Xiang is so smart, he must have a way!"
Liu Chang rushed to Xiao Yan's side in a few steps and held his hand, "Good brother, I leave this matter to you. You know what to say, right?"
"I know, your Majesty is going to the Kingdom of Jin."
"Okay, okay, if Xiao Xiangruo comes up with something, you must come to me in time!"
"kindness!"
Xiao Yan nodded heavily.
Liu Chang hurriedly asked Xiao Yan to go back to find his father.
Since the last time he committed an offense, Xiao He was dismissed from his post. Now the prime minister is Fan Kuai. He is resting at home. During this period, he refused to relax and compiled laws in the mansion all day long.
On the basis of this, we referred to the Qin Law, extracted the contents that were in line with the social conditions at that time, and prepared to formulate a set of laws that would be more complete and more in line with society.
Just when Xiao He was busy doing things, Xiao Yan stood in front of him.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Yan thought for a long time and then said: "Your Majesty wants to go to the Kingdom of Jin."
Xiao He was stunned and thought for a moment, "Did he ask you to come to me?"
"kindness."
Xiao He put down the bamboo slips in his hand and thought seriously.
"No, the Jin Kingdom is too dangerous and cannot be cheated. Otherwise, there will definitely be disasters in the future and cause chaos in the world."
Xiao He simply rejected Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was a little anxious, "He saved my father... Your Majesty is not a bad person."
Xiao He began to think again, not because Liu Chang had intended to save himself, but because he was rethinking the terrain around Jin.
He seemed to have thought of something, stood up, and said to his servants: "Prepare the carriage! Head to the palace!"
