Liu Chang was secretly carried in by the soldiers.
This is the order issued by Empress Lu.
Just when Liu Chang was struggling to get up, Liu Ying hurried over, so Liu Chang placed his only hope on Liu Ying. The second brother is the prince, and his father is not around now, so he can be regarded as the
As the second most powerful figure in the DPRK, his speech may have some effect, right?
As for Han Xin, he is currently in the palace, sitting in the pavilion, talking and laughing with Xiao He while eating.
There was a sword beside him, but Xiao He was not afraid at all.
Around them, hundreds of soldiers stood, almost completely surrounding the pavilion. Not even a fly could fly out. But Empress Lu herself was not here. She had sent Lu Shizhi to hunt down Han Xin.
of retainers and servants.
Obviously, with a sure chance of victory, she didn't worry about what else Han Xin could do.
While the two were eating and drinking, there was a sudden commotion among the soldiers in the distance. Xiao He noticed this, but Han Xin ignored it. After a while, a man separated from the wave of soldiers and walked among them.
Came over.
The person who came was none other than Liu Ying, the prince of the Han Dynasty.
Xiao He stood up slowly and bowed to see him.
Han Xin ignored the prince. To be fair, he didn't even look down on Liu Bang, the emperor, let alone Liu Bang's son.
Liu Ying returned the courtesy to Xiao He politely, and then saluted Han Xin as a prince.
"Why is His Royal Highness urging you so much?"
Xiao He asked with some confusion.
Liu Ying knew that he had misunderstood her, so she shook her head and said, "I want to save the life of the Marquis of Huaiyin at the request of my eldest brother."
Han Xin was very happy and said: "This guy is honest."
A trace of loneliness flashed across Xiao He's face. He shook his head and said, "The prince is kind, but...this is the order of Her Royal Highness the Queen."
Liu Ying heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I promised my eldest brother, and I must keep my word. Prime Minister, you once told me that people cannot stand in this world without trust."
Xiao He didn't know what to say, and pondered for a moment, "Then the prince can go to Her Majesty the Queen. No matter whether he can persuade him or not, he has not broken his promise."
Liu Ying nodded and left here.
"Why would you lie to him?"
"The prince is kind-hearted. If I didn't say so, he wouldn't leave."
Han Xin shook his head and said disdainfully: "How could he establish such a prince?"
"No, such a prince is very good. When all the wars are over, he will definitely become a better emperor than his father."
Xiao He seemed very confident, "He has a kind heart. From the officials to the common people, everyone loves him, and all the brothers admire him. It is precisely because of such a prince that we, the old ministers, can rest in peace and rest in peace."
Han Xin sneered. He didn't agree with Xiao He's words. Xiao He was indeed very accurate in judging people. This boy did have many advantages, but he just lacked a little courage. If he had Liu Chang's courage,
That must be a hero far superior to Liu Bang, what a pity.
Judging from his submissive look, Queen Lu is still so young and so strong. When Liu Bang is gone, it will be a question whether Liu Ying has the final say in the affairs of the court.
Han Xin looked at Xiao He's confident look in front of him and was very confused. Could it be that he couldn't see through things that he could easily see through?
Or, does he have a way to prevent this situation?
Maybe, just comforting yourself?
Han Xin was about to taunt Xiao He and tell him about the possible chaos in the future, but he was suddenly stunned.
If such a day really comes... Everything in the court belongs to Empress Lu, and a huge conflict arises between the emperor and Empress Lu... The Lu family and the Liu family compete for the throne... He suddenly remembered that Liu Chang
Sit in front of him and complain to him about how difficult it is to be an emperor.
Xiao He saw Han Xin in front of him suddenly in a daze and motionless. He smelled the wine glass in his hand with some surprise, "Are you okay?"
Han Xin suddenly came to his senses and stood up quickly. As he stood, the soldiers around him suddenly put down their spears and said, "Brush~~", the chill was overwhelming.
"I want to see Empress Lu one last time. I have something very important to tell her!"
Xiao He frowned and sat quietly for a long time.
"It's about this war, please believe me."
"Oh...Okay...after seeing you, please go on your way and save your dignity."
When Han Xin appeared in front of Empress Lu again, Empress Lu was really surprised. She looked at Xiao He in shock, as if asking, how come this guy is still alive?
Xiao He said helplessly: "Before leaving, the Marquis of Huaiyin said that he had something important to report to Her Highness the Queen."
Lu Pheasant looked disdainful. She and Han Xin were actually the same type of people. They were extremely confident and did not think highly of others.
Han Xin said: "Please leave a few trusted palace maids, let the soldiers tie me up, and then let others leave the hall."
Although Empress Lu didn't know what he wanted to do, she still did it.
Han Xin and Empress Lu were the only two people left in the palace.
"Tell me, what's important to you?"
"I am willing to serve Her Majesty the Queen and serve Her Majesty."
"Hahaha~~~"
Queen Lu laughed loudly.
"Ling Ran, who showed great righteousness just now, came to me to beg for mercy and said some ridiculous things. What's the reason for this? Just now Liu Ying came to plead for your Excellency. I have sent someone to send him back to the Chu Palace.
Let him reflect behind closed doors...Now, are you prepared to come and beg for mercy in person?"
"Your Highness has misunderstood. I am not begging for mercy. What I mean is that I am willing to serve Your Highness."
Han Xin didn't feel any shame in this. When he was young, he experienced even more humiliating things.
Empress Lu understood what he said. She was not serving the man with peace of mind, but serving the queen.
Queen Lu narrowed her eyes and asked disdainfully: "How can you help me? When the world is at peace, what use are you?"
"While the emperor is still alive, the princes in various places are still causing chaos, let alone what will happen to various places when the emperor is gone. How can this be said to be peace in the world?"
"Besides, whether I am useful or not is your own business. It all depends on how you plan to use me. If you use me reasonably, my talents can help you accomplish anything. If you don't know how to use me,
, even if ten Han letters are in your hands, it will not have any effect."
Empress Lu really hesitated this time.
.......
Soon, news came from Chang'an that Huaiyin Hou Han Xin had failed in his rebellion and had been caught and imprisoned.
The officials in the DPRK just felt incredible about this.
How could the Marquis of Huaiyin rebel? He was under house arrest in Chang'an, far away from his fiefdom, and had less than ten available people around him. How could he dare to rebel? Why should he rebel?
Since the rebellion failed, why was he just imprisoned? Why not be executed?
Don't think that only the Qin Dynasty had strict laws. The Han Dynasty also had strict laws. They were just as complete and covered all aspects. According to the Han laws, if you were forced to become a thief, let alone rebelling, your three clans would be punished. Han Xin No.
When Liu Bang was caught rebelling once, Liu Bang did not kill him. Many ministers advised him, believing that sheltering the rebels would cause more people to rebel, and they would no longer hesitate as before, since the cost of rebellion would be so low anyway.
And this is Han Xin's second rebellion, so he still won't kill him? Is there any justice in this? Is there any law in the king's law?
When Liu Chang woke up, seven or eight strong palace maids stood in front of him. After the last escape, Empress Lu was very angry and directly ordered him to be grounded and never allowed to leave Jiaofang Palace again. Even Tianlu
No one is allowed to go to the pavilion.
Liu Ying was also implicated. He originally assisted Empress Lu in governing the country, but he was also banned at this moment. It is said that because he refuted Empress Lu, Empress Lu almost beat him.
For a time, there was an uproar in the harem, and the princes were locked in the palace by their mothers and were not allowed to go out.
"I want to see my eldest brother. They say he is seriously ill..."
"You are still going to see him? Why are you meeting him? He escaped this time and he is fine, but he has hurt you because he was riding your horse! How can I have a stupid son like you?! He and Lu Pheasant have nothing to do with each other.
They are a group of people who want to harm you together! From now on, you will never be allowed to see him again! Stay away from him! Do you understand?!"
Mrs. Qi put her hands on her hips and scolded Liu Ruyi loudly, and Liu Ruyi looked unconvinced.
On the other side, Bo Ji took out the meat porridge she had just made, carefully handed it to Liu Heng, and said: "I made this myself, give it to your eldest brother to try, half-year-old child."
, It’s really hard on him, stay with him more, don’t scold him... Do you understand?”
"Um."
In the dark cell, Han Xin was wearing prison uniform, with his hands and feet shackled, his hair disheveled and his back leaning against the wall, covered in bruises.
Despite being reduced to such a situation, Han Xin's eyes were still bright.
If he had been in the past, he might have committed suicide because he couldn't bear such an insult, but he didn't do that now.
"still have a chance...."
"But that's not my chance...it's yours..."
"Hahahaha~~~"
Han Xin laughed loudly, picked up the steamed cake that was thrown on the ground and ate it hungrily.
