Dahan first prince

Chapter 285
Hearing her father's question, Liu Ying nodded her head in agreement, but couldn't help but froze in place.

——After I die, can Liu Ruyi's life be guaranteed?

With the experience of her previous life, Liu Ying dared to pat her chest and said: In today's world, no one dares to make such a guarantee to Liu Bang!

No one can be in the queen...

Do not!
Except for Liu Bang, no one can save Liu Ruyi, who had intended to meddle in the reserve position, in the hands of the future queen mother Lu Zhi!

——That's Lu Pheasant!

——Grand Empress Lu Pheasant! ! !
——It was Lu Zhi who tried her best to keep Liu Ying's reserve position just by virtue of her status as a queen! ! ! ! ! !

Who can keep the person Lu Zhi wants to kill?
In the whole world, only Liu Bang can rely on the supreme authority of the founding emperor to pull his teeth out of Lu Zhi's mouth!

But what about after Liu Bang?

When Liu Bang rides the crane to the west, even if he is the emperor, Liu Ying will be the son of Lu Zhi...
In the face of the murderous intent of the Queen Mother and her own biological mother, what could Liu Ying do at that time?
Even what Liu Ying said just now, 'Take Liu Ruyi by your side and never leave her', is just a 'wrong solution' that has been verified in Liu Ying's previous life...

"Protect Ruyi and Peace..."

After thinking about it again and again, Liu Ying finally gave up the idea of ​​lying and lowered her head slowly.

"My son, I dare not make such a promise..."

"If the mother insists on getting rid of Ruyi, son, I can only speak out and do my best..."

Saying the phrase "I can't guarantee it" in a heavy tone, Liu Ying finally let out a long sigh of relief, even the heavy burden on her body felt a little lighter.

——As a son, even after becoming the emperor, Liu Ying couldn't guarantee that she could save Liu Ruyi's life in the hands of the empress dowager Lv Zhi.

Liu Ying is also very clear about this point, the old man must have a clear understanding in his heart.

That being the case, there is no need for Liu Ying to slap her swollen face and pretend to be fat, and lie about "I can guarantee it".

Instead of making a promise that you can't keep in front of your father, it's better to admit it openly and leave an impression of 'honesty' in your father's heart.

But what Liu Ying never expected is that after hearing Liu Ying say the phrase "I can't guarantee", the face of the emperor Liu Bang...

There was an expression of relief!

Before Liu Ying could understand the sudden change, Liu Bang hurriedly leaned his upper body forward, looking at Liu Ying with a little urgency.

"Why?"

"Ruyi is a brother of Ying'er's blood. In the future, Ying'er will succeed me and rank among the ninth five."

"So, Ying'er dare not say 'to ensure Ruyi's life'?"

Listening to her father's words with a sense of responsibility, Liu Ying subconsciously straightened up.

But when Liu Ying raised her head and saw the undisguised expectation in Liu Bang's eyes looking at her, Liu Ying couldn't think too much for a while.

Man looked at his father with hesitation, and then looked around thoughtfully. On Liu Ying's face, there was finally a touch of determination.

Then Liu Ying pursed her lips tightly and bowed her hands to Liu Bang with a sense of guilt.

"Father has a question, son, dare not not answer."

"However, if you answer this question from the emperor, you may speak of inhumanity, filial piety, and injustice."

"Father, please pardon my son's crime of 'blasphemy' first!"

"If not, father and emperor will ask this question, son, absolutely dare not answer it..."

Seeing Liu Ying making up his mind to say something, but still afraid to say it due to some reasons, Liu Bang felt unprecedented admiration for Liu Ying.

"Hey······"

"That's right..."

"Show people with benevolence, righteousness and kindness all day long, how can you say that he is my son of Liu Ji?"

Thinking so, Liu Bang's face sank a little, and he nodded slightly to Liu Ying with a little seriousness, acquiescing to Liu Ying's request.

After getting permission, Liu Ying took another deep breath, calmed down secretly for a while, and then put her answer in front of her father verbatim.

"I report to my father."

"If it's someone else, my son must obey his father's order, and even if he dies, he will still be safe."

"However, if you want to get rid of wishful ones..."

Halfway through speaking, Liu Ying stopped talking again, looked at her father hesitantly, and then gritted her teeth again.

"However, if you want to get rid of Ruyi's family Lu, then the ministers will not dare to accept the entrustment of the father and emperor, and protect Ruyi's life..."

"Especially this person wants to get rid of Ruyi, and he is born as a woman. Forgive me, I dare not answer..."

Using the most euphemistic words she could think of to say this extremely sensitive sentence, Liu Ying kowtowed and kowtowed to the ground.

"Slandering the relatives of the mother's family is not the original intention of the son and minister."

"Son, death penalty..."

After saying that, Liu Ying slowly closed her eyes, let her forehead stick to the cold wooden board, and quietly waited for her father's 'disposition'.

What did Liu Ying mean by that sentence?
As the founding ancestor of Liu Han Sheji, it is naturally impossible for Liu Bang not to hear it.

——But if anyone surnamed Lu wants to kill Ruyi Liu, I can't guarantee that I can protect my son!

——Especially in front of my old lady Lu Zhi, my son is helpless at all!
And once word like this gets out, let alone Liu Ying's position as the crown prince, Liu Ying can be drowned with just one spittle from all the people in the world!
——As a son, when your father is about to die, you say, 'My mother may bully me in the future', what does this mean?
Could it be that you still want your father to take your mother underground?
Obviously, in this era when parents want their children to die, and children should immediately say 'I'll do it myself, don't tire you two', Liu Ying's statement is definitely not acceptable to universal values.

It is even more unacceptable that such shocking words come from the mouth of the crown prince of the country and the prince who will rule the world in the future.

But even so, Liu Ying finally put her true thoughts in front of her father without reservation.

As for the reason, Liu Ying is not completely clear.

Perhaps it was the father who sent everyone away, giving Liu Ying the confidence to 'speak freely';

Or maybe today, the father was surprisingly gentle, which gave Liu Ying a little understanding of "a person who is about to die, his words are kind".

The most important thing is that through today's conversation, Liu Ying faintly felt that she should let her father know: Son, I am not completely unconcerned about Mrs. Lu.

In other words, a mysterious force in the dark kept reminding Liu Ying at this moment: Liu Bang should know that the hidden dangers of Lu's relatives did not escape the prince's eyes because of their kinship with Liu Ying. ·····

Kneeling and prostrating in front of Liu Bang, she hadn't heard her father's voice for a long time, and Liu Ying couldn't help feeling flustered for a while.

In front of Liu Ying, Liu Bang, who was sitting on the edge of the imperial couch, looked at Liu Ying with more and more complicated eyes.

The first time he heard Liu Ying's words, Liu Bang subconsciously had the urge to slap Liu Ying!

But soon, Liu Bang reacted in surprise: what he was looking forward to earlier seemed to be this answer, from Liu Ying's mouth?
Realizing this, Liu Bang fell into another burst of self-examination.

——The son showed disobedience to his mother, but I was happy because of it. Is this really right?

After thinking for a long time, at the beginning of last year, when Liu Ying decided to implement the official grain and rice policy, a sentence mentioned in the memorial sent to Handan pulled Liu Bang out of self-examination.

"A family cries, why does a family cry..."

"Every family cries, so why cry all the way..."

"Ah~"

"Yes······"

"Being the son of heaven is precious, so you should put the righteousness of the world first."

"And the little righteousness of the clan..."

"But I can't care so much..."

Thinking so, Liu Bang looked at Liu Ying with unreserved appreciation and anticipation again.

It was also at this moment that Liu Bang finally realized how ridiculous the phrase "the prince doesn't like me" that he always said in the past was.

Liu Ruyi and Liu Ying brothers, who is more like him, Liu Bang said he didn't quite understand.

But Liu Bang knew: at least such a sentence 'the son is very worried about his mother's relatives' would never appear in Liu Ruyi's mouth.

In the past, Liu Bang also paranoidly thought: I am afraid that only that bastard Liu Chang can say such bastard words.

But now, when such a bastard's words were uttered from the mouth of Prince Liu Ying, there was only a burst of endless peace of mind in Liu Bang's heart...
——Can undertake the heavy task of building water canals in Guanzhong, but can also give up his body to prostitute labor;
——In order to stabilize the price of grain, he would risk his life and not hesitate to be assassinated, but he would not forget to step on the grave of the grain merchant when he was done;
——Being able to stand up when there is something wrong with the country, and personally lead the army to fight against the rebels, but it does not affect the crying poor, and reach out to the uncle and brother to allocate money for food.

Even at this moment, people all over the world are familiar with the face of 'benevolence' and 'lenity', but they can also put aside their family affection in front of themselves and say, 'I am very worried about my mother and their family'... ···

Recalling these "deeds" of Liu Ying, and thinking about what he had done, Liu Bang finally had a clear understanding in his heart.

"My son, like me..."

"My eight sons, only this son is like me..."

"If you are like me in appearance, you are like me in temperament; this son..."

"As much as I can..."

At this moment, Liu Bang only felt that deep in his heart, a bunch of knots in his heart that had been dusty for a long time were untied, and he felt relieved for a while.

——Do you choose someone who looks like me, or someone who is kind, or someone who is suitable?

This problem can be said to have put Liu Bang in a state of extreme torture throughout his later years.

But at this moment, when Liu Bang realized that "like me", "kind" and "suitable" were all the same person, the boulder that had always been pressed in his heart just flew away like a bubble.

All that remains is regret for the past and endless expectations for the future...
"Get up and talk."

With a soft call in a cold tone, the sweaty Liu Ying finally stood up hesitantly, but Liu Bang nodded towards Liu Ying sullenly as if nothing had happened.

"Tell me about Mrs. Lu."

"—After waiting for me for a hundred years, the Lu family is in my family, is it lucky? Is it a problem?"

"If it's luck, where does luck come from?"

"If it is a patient, what about the patient?"

Looking at her father's livid face, Liu Ying was only upset for a while.

But after hearing these repeated questions, Liu Ying's throbbing heart finally calmed down.

Even "I don't think my mother is reliable" was uttered by Liu Ying. Hearing her father's question, Liu Ying was completely relieved and talked in front of her father.

"In the future, the Lu family will be in my family. It will be a blessing, but also a disaster!"

After saying a word with certainty, Liu Ying simply stopped thinking about other things, and only expressed her true views.

"Fortunately, it is the Lu family who regards children as a ladder for advancement, so that chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven."

"Your son is young, I'm afraid my family may be suspected of being a lesser country."

"So the luck of the Lu family in my family is that when the son was too young to be in power, he helped him as a relative of the mother's family."

"However, it is just as the saying goes: misfortune depends on fortune, and fortune rests on misfortune."

"——Er is young, the Lu family can spread all over the court, and think of him as his wings and arms;"

"However, if we wait for a long time, the Lu family will definitely take power and self-respect, and plan to do something wrong."

"again······"

Speaking of this, the corners of Liu Ying's mouth twitched again, and she finally gritted her teeth and continued: "Also Lu's, if the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace sits in charge, even if he is young and in charge, Lu's position in the court will be invincible. "

"Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace, naturally she has no intention of misbehavior, and she also has no intention of harming her children."

"However, the son of the Lu family is no more than a relative of the mother's clan. Although he can be trusted and used, he does not reach the confidant of the humerus."

"In this way, when something goes wrong with Mrs. Lu, and the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace does not investigate, and because of the empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace and the stigma of "treating Yuan Cong harshly" and dare not stop her, Mrs. Lu will be my family's trouble! "

"What's more, the Lu family slandered and bewitched in the ear of the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace, and with the love of the mother and child of the Tian family, it was convenient for my family to face the danger of the ancestral temple being overthrown and the country changing hands..."

He said all the thoughts in his heart, and before Liu Ying raised his head, he heard Liu Bang's next question and followed him one after another.

"Since that's the case, what should I do?"

"In the future, how should Ying'er respond?"

"Stay safe every step of the way, waiting for the future!"

The answer to this question, Liu Ying hardly hesitated.

"Those who belong to the Lu family are Zhu Lu; those who rely on them are the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace;"

"But the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace has a little resistance, Lu family, it is convenient to restrain myself."

"The old son belongs to the Lu family, so don't act too hastily."

"——Be vain and appoint a snake to secure Lu; three dynasties a day to be close to the East Palace; guide the advantage of the situation and use the Lu family for your own use; save the wings for the future."

"If things go well, the Lus will get rich and not expensive, or they will act independently and think of my family as loyal ministers;"

"If it doesn't go well, the Lu family will also have the meritorious service as a check and balance, so that the new king will grow old..."

After saying that, Liu Ying bowed her hands solemnly, and immediately looked at the sweat beads on the tip of her nose, which completely turned into a sculpture.

But in front of Liu Ying, Liu Bang stared at Liu Ying with complicated eyes for a long time, and finally an inaudible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Um······"

"Let's talk about it then."

"——Zhen, why did you kill Fan Kui?!"
