Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 177 The widow has come up with another plan!
"That's it. Well, this is the best location."

Liu Chang looked at the hall and nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, it is autumn, which is the favorite season of the sages.

Under the constant annoyance of Wang Ling, Empress Lu decided to let Liu Chang move out. Of course, moving out does not mean living outside the palace, but living in other halls, just like Liu Hui and Liu Hui at the beginning. Constant like that.

At the beginning, Chang Liu was very envious that these brothers could have their own halls.

Liu Chang deliberately chose a hall not far from the side gate of the palace, where he could sneak in at any time. Well, he could visit his mother every day.

"Your Majesty, you can choose a name."

"Ah? Isn't this temple called Houde? How can it be renamed?"

The valet said with a smile: "This name was taken when the King of Chu lived here, and now the Great King can naturally take one."

"Then it's called the Overlord's Palace."

The attendant's eyes widened, "Your Majesty. That's not right. How can I call the palace of the Han family the Overlord's Palace?"

"Then it's called Emperor Gao's Palace?"

The valet was so frightened that he almost knelt down, "No way! Your Majesty!"

Liu Chang hesitated for a moment, and then said with a small hand, "Then let's continue to call Houde, don't change it!"

With his own palace, it is natural to have closeness to serve him. Probably because he knew what the virtue of King Tang was, Empress Lu did not arrange palace maids for him, but arranged six attendants. The one headed by him was called Zhang Qing, tall and handsome, but without a beard, is a eunuch.

The eunuchs in the palace are not all eunuchs, half are scholars and half are eunuchs, and they are responsible for different fields. Most eunuchs are responsible for taking care of the queen mother and the concubines, while most of the scholars are serving the emperor. .

This Zhang Qing is the valet who is responsible for taking care of the queen mother. She has followed the queen mother for seven or eight years and is deeply trusted by the queen mother.

After the attendants started busy, Zhang Qing walked to Chang Liu's side and said gently, "Your Majesty, since the palace has been established, you should entertain the elders and elders of the clan. Do you want me to take charge of this matter?"

"Are you going to prepare a gift?"

"Yes, this matter will be handed over to the minister, and the minister should prepare properly."

Zhang Qing's voice is very gentle, not the sharp tone of a castrat, he speaks neither in a hurry nor slow, articulates his words clearly, and it is very comfortable to listen to.Liu Chang is also familiar with him. After all, Liu Chang was also grown up by him.

"Okay, I'll leave these things to you! The widow is going to play...go to study!"

When Liu Chang was about to leave, Zhang Qing hurriedly stood in front of him, "Before you leave, you can tell the Queen Mother."

"Well, I just welcomed an empress dowager, and now there is another empress dowager's valet, right?"

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Your Majesty has just left Jiaofang Palace, the Queen Mother must be sad for me. This is for His Majesty's sake."

Liu Chang thought about it, and decided to go to Jiaofang Hall.

In the Jiaofang Hall, Empress Cao held Xiang Xiang and sat embarrassedly in front of the Queen Mother, fidgeting.

Liu Chang's sudden arrival broke the silence in the Jiaofang Hall.

"Mother! Huh? Xiang is also here?"

Liu Chang took the child from Empress Cao with a smile, and sat beside Empress Lv with a smile, "Look, mother, this guy is like a father, and he looks more and more like my elder brother!"

"Hehe, yes, it is indeed a kind of father."

Lu Hou said with a stern face, without the slightest hint of joy on his face.

Liu Chang was taken aback for a moment, looked at Empress Cao, and asked, "Who made my grandmother angry? Is it the royal mausoleum?!"

Empress Cao lowered her head and did not answer.

Empress Lv stood up and walked into the inner room. Chang Liu handed the child to Empress Cao, and said with a smile, "Please go back to Ganquan Palace first." Beside him, Empress Lu said angrily: "Cao Can is still alive, and his son Cao Cheng will be made a marquis! Your brother is also planning to let him serve as the commander-in-chief!!"

"What kind of military merit does he have to make a marquis? What talent does he have to be the commander-in-chief?!"

Liu Chang was speechless for a while, no wonder the mother was so angry with the queen just now, it turned out to be because of this incident.

But this Liu Chang can't be said to be wrong. The new emperor ascends the throne and reuses the queen's relatives. What's wrong with this?Lang Zhongling is the minister of the old guard who is responsible for guarding the gate of the palace. Of course, such ministers must use relatives to be reliable. When the father was still there, he did the same.

But in Empress Lu's eyes, his relatives had made military exploits, and thus obtained such a position, how could Cao Cheng dare to be side by side with his own family?

Liu Chang pondered for a moment, and said, "Lang Zhongling Chen Ping has been promoted to the position of Prime Minister of the Left. Now this position is vacant. Who does my mother think can take the position?"

"Jiancheng Hou can."

"Mother, my uncle is not too young, how can you bear to let him stand under the porch and be beaten by the wind and rain?"

"At the beginning, Wang Ling was against us several times. Because of my brother, you didn't allow me to be against him. Today, it's just that my brother is preparing to set up a commander-in-chief. Why do you want to do this?"

Empress Lu narrowed her eyes, "This is different. I can bear Wang Ling's rudeness because Wang Ling's position as prime minister is good for your elder brother, but your elder brother is weak." Empress Lv was silent for a moment before he waved his words. He waved his hand and said, "Go out and play."

When he walked out of the palace, Chang Liu was thinking about this.

This matter is really difficult to solve. He never thought that one day, there will be a conflict between the second brother and the mother. The conflict between the old and new relatives makes Liu Chang very embarrassed, and he is not even good at intervening. , but he couldn't help but intervene.

If he doesn't intervene, then no one really can control it. If the mother does, then the consequences will be
Liu Chang let out a long sigh, and the few people who were standing outside the palace gate were a little surprised. They were always heartless and heartless, how could they still sigh? ?
"Your Majesty!"

Luan Bu was about to speak when Liu Chang shook his head and said in a low voice, "Let's go back to the mansion."

Returning to the Tang Palace, Liu Chang sat in the upper seat, and the four great deceased people sat on both sides. Liu Chang glanced at Ji Bu and asked, "Ji Bu, you can't tell the queen mother what the widow said today. A major event related to the temple."

"only!"

Ji Bu's answer was very straightforward, and Liu Chang was relieved when he got his promise. Although this person was a traitor, he made a promise, and since he promised, he would not break it.

Only then did Liu Chang say, "Your Majesty wants to make Cao Cheng the commander-in-chief, but the queen mother is furious and wants to use the marquis of Jiancheng as the commander-in-chief. What should the widow do?"

Hearing this sentence, everyone's faces were different, some were worried and some were happy.

Zhang Budo hurriedly said, "The position of the commander-in-chief has always been important, and you have to be close to it as a last resort. Why don't the king recommend a trusted henchman to take charge of this important task."

"Zhang Budoubt you are a rebel! What do you want?!"

Zhao Ping was furious and cursed at Zhang Budo.

Zhang Budo explained: "I don't mean anything else, I just don't want to see Your Majesty and the Queen Mother arguing, so let the king recommend someone."

Zhaoping glared at him, and then said: "Your Majesty, the key to this matter is not the position of Lang Zhongling, but the question of the Queen and the Queen Mother."

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the queen should have lived in Jiaofang Palace, and the Queen Mother should move to Changle Palace Naihe. The Queen Mother is not allowed to live in Jiaofang Palace to do business. The queen can only live in Ganquan Palace, the queen's relatives. quite dissatisfied.”

"The power that the queen should have to govern the harem is still in the hands of the queen mother."

"Many ministers believe that the queen mother should return the power of the harem to the queen."

"Now that the queen has a prince, she will naturally not be as tolerant as usual. On the side of the queen mother, the queen mother still looks down on her majesty. She is even more dismissive of the queen, and she has to interfere in all government affairs."

Zhang Budo snorted coldly, "Can't you say something we don't know?"

Zhaoping ignored the rebel and continued: "The plan now is to either ask the Queen Mother to take the initiative to move to Changle Palace, or let the Queen back down and no longer claim the power of the harem."

Liu Chang shook his head, "It's difficult."

This matter, in the folks, is that after the child grows up, the old mother still has to take care of the son's daily life and control the family's money, which will cause the son and daughter-in-law to be dissatisfied. This is not a big thing. Coax the old mother more. Okay, but such a thing is placed in the palace, it is a big event, Empress Lu is not an old woman who can easily coax her, and if you are in a hurry, the queen family will be finished.

But the Queen's side is not a soft persimmon. Cao Can is living at home now, but who would dare to provoke him at will?To put it badly, after Xiao He passed away, he was the only one who had the ability to call on the ministers to help him.

Liu Chang suddenly understood why his grandfather would force his second brother to marry the daughter of the Cao family.

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

Ji Bu spoke, and he said calmly: "The best solution today is to ask His Majesty to marry a few more nobles."

"what??"

Liu Chang widened his eyes and looked at Ji Bu, "Why?"

Ji Bu said with a smile: "Now there is only the Empress by your Majesty's side, and the Empress Dowager is suppressed because of this. If Your Majesty has more concubines by his side, and Your Majesty begins to dote on other concubines again, the concubines will no longer respect the Empress."

"Then something big is about to happen."

"No, when the time comes, the queen mother will take the initiative to share the power with the queen so that she can hold down the other concubines."

"I think that the reason why the queen mother is angry may be because her majesty and the queen are too affectionate."

"You mean, my grandmother is jealous of the queen?? How is this possible?!"

Ji Bu smiled and didn't speak any more.

Liu Chang thought for a moment before asking, "In these years, I have been close to the second daughter of the Cao family, and my mother is also very disgusted. Tell me, should I marry a few more? Maybe this will make Tang's harem become more important. settle down?"

"There is no such reason."

When it was critical, Jibu was still reliable.

Mr. Zhao's strength lies in his vision and strategy, Luan Bu's strength is in loyalty and diligence, Zhang Budo's strength is in um, let's consider him decisive for the time being, and Ji Bu's strength is probably the ability to really solve problems. The most practical one among the sages.

Liu Chang thought about Ji Bu's method in his mind, and after thinking for a while, he already knew what to do.

Liu Changchang was overjoyed and said, "Luanbu! Go get some meat! How can you not eat meat before you do something big?!"

Luan Bu hurriedly promised and turned to leave.

Today's King Tang is also very rich. He no longer needs to steal the sheep from his uncle's house. The Tang mansion keeps sheep, although this sheep is also taken from the uncle's house. Just when everyone was preparing a big meal, suddenly Several valet arrived.

Liu Chang looked at them for a moment, and then recognized them as people from Shangfang Mansion.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Chu Mo?"

"No. Your Majesty, it was the first emperor who ordered us to make a set of armor for your Majesty. The armor is ready." Shang Fang's people whispered and glanced at Ji Bu secretly, if they didn't know about Ji Bu The Queen Mother was standing behind him. He really didn't dare to say that it was the last emperor's order. It was a big crime, but Ji Bu said that, it was probably the Queen Mother's order, so he could say it with confidence.

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, "Where is it? Where is the armor?!"

A few people from Shangfang brought the armor, Liu Changchang rushed up with a smile, took the armor, and couldn't put it down, "My father gave me the armor. My father didn't lie to me about it."

Liu Chang's eyes quickly turned red, but he was very happy.

"Your Majesty, why don't you put it on and show us?"

"Hey, you can't wear it here, the few of you go in and wear it, you guys, come in with me, Luan Bu, you wait!!"

Liu Chang excitedly took his valet into the inner room, and Luan Bu said with a smile: "The king will come out later, but you should praise him well. I don't think he has been so happy for a long time."

Jibu and the others nodded.

Everyone waited earnestly. After waiting for a long time, the king never came out. Luan Bu suddenly couldn't sit still. "Could it be that the king ran away?"

"Probably not. Seeing that armor, he won't run unless he shows it off to us."

Everyone was talking when Liu Chang suddenly came out.

I saw him wearing a red military uniform and armor, the armor was in the shape of fish scales, hanging one by one, the left and right shoulder pads, down to the chain clothes, glowing gold, gilded and silver, and also made of different armor pieces. For example, a wavy pattern can be seen on Liu Chang's chest. He wears a red oval helmet, which is also in the shape of fish scales.

Liu Chang proudly raised his head and walked slowly in front of the crowd.

At this moment, Luan Bu and the others were stunned.

This suit of armor is really a good match for Liu Chang. At this time, Liu Chang still looks like a playboy on weekdays. He is more like a fierce general than Cao Can, but he doesn't have a beard. Fuck the Huns!

"Great King Shenwu!!"

"Great King Shenwu!"

Everyone praised Liu Changxi, playing with the armor on his body, "This is what my grandfather gave me. Hahaha, majestic, right?" Looking at Liu Chang, whose eyes were flushed with joy, everyone was Nodding, praise again.

Liu Chang proudly raised his head, "Okay, take me back to the palace!"

"Your Majesty, then I'll help you take off your armor first."

"Don't take it off! Don't take it off! The widow must wear this to sleep!"

When the soldiers at the gate of the palace saw King Tang who was stubborn, they were stunned. Did King Tang finally rebel?
"Your Majesty! Inside the palace! Don't wear armor!"

The soldiers stood in front of him and did not allow him to enter. Liu Chang was angry and scolded: "This is a gift from my father, and if there is a seed, it will be taken off the widow?!"

The soldiers did not dare to block or let go, so they had to send someone to report.

After receiving the emperor's edict, the soldiers let the Tang king enter.

Liu Chang proudly raised his head and strode towards Xuan Shi Hall. I have to say that this armor is really heavy. Even with Liu Chang's physique, he felt that this thing was too heavy in his heart, but he wouldn't speak. Admit it.

When he walked into the Xuanshi Hall, Liu Ying looked at his armor and couldn't help laughing.

"Is General Chang here to fight me?"

"This general wants to conquer the Xiongnu! Your Majesty please order me to command a million-strong army and go to capture Maodun!"

Liu Chang gave a military salute.

With a straight face, Liu Ying said seriously: "General Liu Chang! I regard you as the great general of the world's soldiers and horses, and lead an army of 300 million to fight against the Xiongnu!"

"Wei! This general will definitely be slashed to capture the flag when he goes out this time!"

Seeing that the two brothers were playing together, Empress Cao on the side suddenly had a big head. When will these two grow up?

She said helplessly: "The eldest brother is really good-looking!"

Liu Chang stopped pretending, laughed loudly, and showed off: "Of course, you see there are patterns here!" Liu Ying also hurried to Liu Chang's side and touched his armor, "It's true There are patterns, it looks good, eldest brother, take it off and let me wear it!"

"You have to do it yourself, it's mine! Don't give it!"

"Hey, don't be so stingy, just dress me up!"

"No! I won't take it off!"

Empress Cao cleared her throat again, and Liu Ying remembered that she was already a father. She looked at Liu Chang's armor reluctantly, and sat down helplessly, "Eldest brother, what is your armor? Where did you get it from?"

"This is from my father!"

"Why didn't he leave a set for me?"

"Second brother, you can give Shang Fang an order and let them make a set for you!"

"Yes!"

"Cough cough."

"Oh, forget it. I don't go out to fight."

Liu Chang showed off for a moment, and then he remembered that he was looking for his brother because of something important. He walked to Liu Ying's side a few steps and said in a low voice, "I came today to give advice to my brother!"

"Oh?"

Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, then Liu Chang explained: "I saw that my mother was unhappy today, and I learned that it was because of the queen. After thinking hard, I finally came up with a solution!"

"any solution?"

"Please, brother, marry more concubines!"

Liu Ying was stunned. He looked at Empress Cao, who was on the side. Empress Cao did the same, staring blankly at Liu Chang.

Liu Chang continued: "Brother marry a few more concubines. It's best not to be close to your sister-in-law. In front of the mother, only talk about the few concubines, not about the queen. Finally, the queen cried in front of her."

When Liu Chang said this, the queen immediately understood, and she nodded, "It's also a way."

Liu Ying was a little hesitant, "Will I hurt those women by doing this? I'm afraid that my mother will."

"Just don't do it too much. Besides, when necessary, the second brother will also come out to protect it."

Hearing Liu Chang's words, Liu Ying lowered her head, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not right, it's not right, doing this is very unfair to those women and may even kill them!"

"Then, just like your father, you call them to the Xuan Shi Palace all day long!" Liu Chang said angrily.

The queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's okay, I'll pay attention, it won't kill others, just do as the eldest brother said."

"Queen."

Liu Ying looked at the wife in front of her with some shame, and Liu Ying was equally entangled, with her mother on one side and his wife on the other.

He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just do as the eldest brother said!"
