Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 184 You Are Really Emperor Gao's Son!

Obviously, Guan Ying didn't get the answer he wanted, and his face became darker.

Liu Chang also understood Guan Ying's thoughts in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to say something to Guan Ying.

In King Jing Palace, when King Chu walked in with his two entourages, Liu Chang hurriedly got up, walked in front of him, and said with a smile, "Father Zhong is here, please sit up!" King Chu looked around. , There are not many people sitting here, King Wu, Guan Ying, and a few other Tang Wang Sheren, King Wu sits on Liu Chang's left hand side, Guan Ying sits on his right hand side, Sheren sits on his right Last seat.

"Chang. King Jing passed away, there should be no banquet."

"It's definitely not a banquet, it's just something important to discuss with Father Zhong."

Even if King Jing's kingdom rebels, King Jing is still Liu Chang's elder, and he is also a blood relative of the clan. Even if he can't keep filial piety for him like his son, he can never hold a banquet and drink in King Jing's palace during his mourning period.

"Father Zhong, come and sit up"

Liu Chang pulled Liu Jiao and asked him to sit in the upper seat, "Since you called everyone to come, then you should sit in the upper seat."

"Hey, what did Father Zhong say, Father Zhong is the virtuous leader of the clan." Liu Chang dragged the King of Chu. This Shuzi was not young, but his strength was not small. Liu Jiao was so forcefully pushed to the top by him. Wang is Liu Bang's favorite younger brother, just like Liu Ying and Liu Chang today. This analogy is not very appropriate, because Liu Ying is very similar to this Zhongfu Liu Jiao, but Liu Chang is more like Liu Bang.

Liu Bang and Liu Jiao were probably Liu Chang who was the emperor and Liu Ying who was the prince.

Liu Jiao is a very gentle person, he likes to read, he is polite, and he treats people leniently. Talents from all over the world go to Chu State and come to assist him spontaneously. There is no need to tie him up.

If Liu Ying was a few years younger and was just a prince, it would probably be like this.

Liu Bang loved this younger brother very much, and even brought his several children very close to Liu Jiao. Liu Jiao was a kind person, and he also liked his sons very much, and he always took care of them on weekdays.

It is worth mentioning that he also has a male favorite. Facts have proved that this root does not seem to have much to do with Liu Bang, and it can be traced back further.

The King of Chu sat in the upper position with peace of mind. No matter how powerful the King of Tang was, the leader of the princes was still the Prince of Chu. After all, the generations were placed here. After the death of King Jing, all the princes in the world were Liu Jiao’s children and nephews, and Liu Jiao’s own. He has a good personality and is a veritable clan leader.

"Father Zhong, are my cousins ​​okay?"

"it is good."

"What's the situation in Chu Country?"

The two exchanged a few words, and then Liu Chang said with a smile: "Tang State ships more and more to Chu State, and Father Zhong takes good care of them. I have always wanted to thank Father Zhong, and today I finally have a chance."

Soon, the servants brought the food, and everyone ate and chatted while eating.

Liu Chang suddenly sighed.

Liu Jiao put down the chopstick in his hand and asked helplessly, "Tell me, what are you missing?"

"Father Zhong, I don't lack anything but after I go back this time, Father Zhong please take good care of your health. If you hear any bad news, don't be sad. Remember to come to worship me from time to time. I love beef, so I can use beef. Come. I love beauty the most"

"Crack~"

Liu Chang's words were only halfway through, when Liu Jiao patted the back of Liu Chang's head and interrupted him.

"You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about! How can you say such unlucky things!"

Liu Chang said aggrievedly: "It's not nonsense, Guanhou can testify."

Guan Ying, who was eating with a bitter face, was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head with a confused look on his face.

Liu Jiao frowned, "What happened?"

"Father Zhong, you are not in the temple, and you don't know anything about the temple. Since the death of my father, all the ministers have insulted me and my elder brother. Among them, Chen Ping is the worst!"

"Cough cough." Guan Ying coughed abruptly, almost choked on the food, and then looked at Chang Liu in disbelief. Didn't Chen Ping always stand by your side and His Majesty? ?
Chang Liu wiped away his tears in grievance and said, "I have resisted several times, but Chen Ping has many tricks, I really am not his opponent, Father Zhong, you don't know, he framed me several times, and I entered I have been in Tingwei's prison several times, and I have to be beaten for no reason every three or four days.

"boom!!!"

Liu Jiao smashed the case in front of him with a fist, and stood up suddenly, aggressive. His state at the moment can probably be imagined as the state of Liu Ying when Liu Chang's son came to him to cry after Liu Chang's death. Liu Jiao looked at a few of his followers and said, "Get ready, I'm going to Chang'an!!!"

Liu Chang hurriedly stood in front of him and said, "Father Zhong! This is a battle for temples! Our foreign kings, don't act rashly!"

After all, Liu Jiao is not Liu Ying. He is older and has more knowledge. He quickly calmed down his anger and said, "You can write to the Queen Mother and investigate this matter!"

Liu Chang said aggrievedly: "This time, Guanhou and I were framed by Chen Ping."

"He first deceived his elder brother, making him think that the Kingdom of Jing was going to rebel, and then suggested that Guanhou and I go to crusade against the Kingdom of Jing. But Father Zhong, do you think the Kingdom of Jing is about to rebel? We are also after capturing the officials of the Kingdom of Jing. I just realized this. Chen Ping is trying to get rid of Jing Kingdom, and then put the fault on me and Guanhou!"

"Let's go back like this, and wait until the Jing Kingdom's officials confront the emperor and Tingwei, what should we do? Unprovoked attacks on the princes and domestic ministers, what a crime this is. I and Guanhou, we will die soon!!"

Liu Chang cried, and Liu Jiao was stunned. He looked at Guanhou next to him and asked in disbelief, "Chen Ping really dares to do this?!"

Guan Ying was stunned for a moment, then nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, what the king said is the truth, it was Chen Ping who did it!"

If you are unkind to me, don't blame me for being unjust to you!

The king of Chu had a dark face and looked extremely angry, "Chen Ping, how dare you do this, dare to do this. I am not writing to the queen mother, I will personally take someone to Chang'an, I want to kill this fellow!! Dare to murder My clan! Are you really deceiving my clan?!"

Looking at the enraged King of Chu, Liu Chang said cautiously, "You can't write to the Queen Mother."

"Why?"

Liu Chang looked left and right and said helplessly: "The Queen Mother was also blinded by Chen Ping. The Queen Mother is also happy to see the Kingdom of Jing eliminated. Father Zhong, you know that King Jing and the Queen Mother are not close."

Liu Jiao suddenly understood, he sat in the upper seat, sighed, looked at Liu Chang with some pity, stretched out his hand, grabbed his shoulder, "If brother is here, you won't be wronged like this. "

Looking at Liu Jiao, whose eyes were flushed and he was about to cry, Liu Chang couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said, "Although Father is not here, but Father Zhong is still here, I won't suffer any grievances!"

When Liu Jiao heard this, he laughed and said solemnly, "That's the truth."

He frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "The plan for now is still with Your Majesty. As long as His Majesty understands this matter and punishes Chen Ping for his fault this time, you and Guanhou will have no worries!"

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, his own father Zhong's brain was quite good, and he hurriedly said, "No!"

"Oh?"

"If the people of the world know that the kingdom of Jing has been exterminated for no reason, even killing Chen Ping will inevitably lead to His Majesty's notoriety. What's more, now that the ministers of the kingdom of Jing have been captured, even if they help them restore the country, they will definitely have resentment in their hearts, sooner or later. Reverse!"

"Then what do you mean?"

"It's wrong to be wrong. Let the ministers of the Jing country rebel!"

"But isn't that killing innocent people's lives?"

"No, the generals under the command of Peng Yue and Ying Bu were not executed."

"Do you want to pick up Lieutenant General Jing Guojun?"

"It can only be done like this, the prince of King Jing, and he can be allowed to serve King Jing's spiritual position. Although he is innocent, he failed to detect the rebellion of his subordinates in time.

"As for the ministers, after being escorted back to Chang'an, I have my own concerns."

Liu Jiao asked in confusion: "Since you have your own ideas, why did you call us here again?"

Liu Chang smiled embarrassedly, and said: "The rebels of Jing country have hoarded a lot of good things, and they have to get these generals away. I don't have a boat. If Father Zhong can send a boat to take these generals. It would be better if the rebels were sent to Jibei County. Besides, the Chu army is now controlling the Jing Kingdom, so I can't take it away without telling you, right?"

Liu Jiao laughed and shook his head, "We called me here together because of this!"

"You bastard!"

Liu Jiao scolded and said, "The temple asked me to remove these generals by myself. Since you want it, send it to Jibei County. As for the supplies, I don't dare to act rashly without the order of the temple."

"Don't worry! Father Zhong, I only want people, supplies, etc. I will never move!"

"Okay," Liu Jiao said, leaning close to Liu Chang's side again, and said in a low voice, "Take less, don't go too far."

This is also a practice, thieves do not go empty, not to mention princes and kings, let alone Liu Chang, Liu Jiao will not come in vain, since they come, they will definitely take something away, as long as it is not excessive, the temple will not What more will I say, I have worked hard to bring soldiers and soldiers, and I can't let people go back empty-handed. After Chen Xi rebelled, Zhao Guodaiguo suddenly became empty. Did Chen Xi take the supplies away?This has to ask the various princes who participated in the war.

At this time, Liu Chang sat next to Liu You.

"Brother, lend me a boat, the more the better. I want to transport a little something to Jibei County."

When the King of Chu left the Jingwang Palace, the attendants around him said helplessly: "Your Majesty is too kind-hearted, I'm afraid that after the ship reaches Jibei County, it will never come out again."

"Oh? Why did you say that?"

"In the beginning, the king sent Nei Shi to bring food and grass to rescue Tang, but Nei was no longer there. Later, the king sent another messenger to Tang, and wanted to take Neishi, but the messenger didn't have this ship to help. Let them transport people, I am afraid that once this ship arrives in Tang State, it will no longer be a ship of Chu State."

Liu Jiao suddenly stopped, he frowned and looked very serious.

"I ask you what is the reason for the sudden increase in the grain production of Chu State over the years and the gradual prosperity of the people?"

"It's because of the king's benevolent government!"

"Heh, do you mean that the widow did not practice benevolent governance before?"

"That's absolutely not the case."

"The plough, the sowing cart, the wheelbarrow, the waterwheel, and the spinning wheel in the state of Chu were not made by the king of Tang? The king of Tang has enshrined the world, and all the vassal states have grown stronger because of him. Any one of these things is the state of the country. Heavy equipment, King Tang does not keep secrets, how many good things did the ships that sent the blueprints to the Tang state of various countries brought the Chu state? Which of the fruits and ingredients you eat at home did not come from the Tang state?!"

"The state of Chu is deeply gracious to King Tang, so what if it sent him dozens of ships?!"

The entourage was speechless for a moment and lowered his head.

Liu Jiao said: "People in the world are favored by the king of Tang, but they are criticized a lot. The world is getting richer day by day, whether it is temples or various vassal states, they are all prosperous because of the king of Tang. It is also said that the state of Tang is a country of barbarians, the king of Wei Tang. , I have left my hair on the left side!!!"

At this moment, Liu Chang was sitting in front of Liu Bao, and the two stared at each other with big eyes.After the King of Chu pacified the situation in the Jing Kingdom, Liu Chang sent someone to take him over. The emperor had an edict, and the ministers rebelled. It had nothing to do with the young prince, and he didn't have much in the Jing Kingdom. Prestige, Jing Guo's size is not large, and he is not afraid that someone will hold him hostage to rebel.

"Someone proposes to cut the grass and root and kill you."

Hearing this sentence, Liu Yan's face paled and his body trembled.

"However, King Jing is my elder, he is close to me, and he is even more gracious to me. I will not do such a thing, I will save your life, you can be a prince at ease, marry a few more, and don't let Zhong Father broke the incense. Understand?"

Liu Bao nodded, then gathered up his courage and said, "I want to go to Tang country with my brother."

"You are the prince of King Jing, what does it mean to live in Tang country?"

"But as soon as Father Zhong left, I didn't know anyone here." Liu Bao lowered his head and muttered.

"Forget it. Come with me!"

Liu Chang took Liu Bao to a hall in the palace, knocked directly on the door, and someone came out and greeted him respectfully. Liu Chang took Liu Bao into the hall, and King Wu rushed out to greet him. Looking at him, pointing to Liu Bao behind him, he said, "Brother, you should stay with this person."

Liu You was taken aback, looked at Liu Bao, and asked, "Aren't you going to take him back to Chang'an?"

"Oh, back to Chang'an, I'm afraid he won't survive the night."

"Sixth brother, you are also alone. Just get him a mansion near your palace, let him live there, and sometimes come to pay homage to King Jing, you can count as a friend to communicate with."

Liu You nodded and accepted Liu Chang's proposal.

Liu Chang pulled him aside, "Sixth brother, you don't like words. You can communicate with others more, otherwise how can you govern a country? Don't be afraid of the ministers. If you encounter anything, write to me. Believe that I will send people to visit you from time to time. Don't be afraid."

Liu You nodded again.

Only then did Liu Chang look at Liu Bao and said, "This is King Wu! You will live in Wu country from now on. My sixth brother is a good person and will never insult you. You can also interact with him more!"

"only!"

After dealing with the matter here, Liu Chang bid farewell to the King of Chu and King Wu, and followed Guan Ying to leave the Kingdom of Jing.

"What about Zhang Budo?"

"He has something to do, and he will return to Chang'an by himself."

Guan Ying nodded, looked at the captives again, and asked, "What is the king going to do with these people?"

"I know what you mean, you don't have to worry. I'll figure it out myself."

"only!"

Guan Ying was suddenly a lot more polite to Liu Chang, and no longer treated him like an urchin as usual. He understood it. This stubby looks like he doesn't understand anything, but in fact he can understand everything. , On weekdays, he pretends to be stupid, but when it comes to the critical moment, he knows better than anyone else.

Guan Ying was still thinking about how not to take the blame, but this Shuzi was already thinking about how to put the blame on Chen Ping.

"After Guanhou ah returns to Chang'an, you can take a serious illness and recuperate in the mansion with peace of mind."

"Huh? Why is this?"

"Someone wants to let me go. In Chang'an, there must be important things. If you don't participate in these things, Guanhou can help your majesty with peace of mind."

For a moment, Guan Ying felt horrified, and he asked, "The Queen Mother?"

"Chen Ping quite values ​​you. He recommended you to go out, but he didn't want you to be involved."

"I understand."

Guan Ying only felt uneasy, looked at Liu Chang who was very calm beside him, and asked suspiciously: "Isn't your majesty in a hurry?"

"In a hurry to use a bird?"

Guan Ying never asked again.

They came in the hot summer, but when they went back, the climate started to get colder.

The south is better, but the wind gets stronger the further north you go.

People who are a little weaker can't bear such cold. Fortunately, Liu Chang is very strong, and he is not afraid. Empress Lu has already prepared thick clothes for him. When he returned, he did not come. It was such a joyous time, that among the captives there were a few frail and sickly people, and they could only be temporarily placed in the nearby county town for self-cultivation. When the weather warmed up, they would be transported to Chang'an.

It was probably because Chang Liu's notoriety spread back to the north again. When Chang Liu went back, officials from all over the country came to meet him one after another and gave gifts. None of them dared to be rude.

Liu Chang proudly told Luan Bu, "This must be knowing his heroic record, so that's why!"

Luan Bu still raised his head and sighed, feeling extremely regretful in his heart. Why did he go after King Liang in the first place?Why did you promise to deliver letters for him?I, Luan Bu, have been treated for decades, how could I be reduced to where I am now?

When the group saw Chang'an, it was already the first month of the second year.

Liu Chang looked at the familiar Chang'an with joy and worry in his heart.

The person who came to greet Liu Chang was Lu Shizhi.

Lu Shizhi was wearing armor and looked a little tired. Many soldiers followed him. Liu Chang jumped from the carriage and rushed to Lu Shizhi's side with a smile.

"uncle!"

Seeing Liu Chang, Lu Shizhi finally showed a smile on his face. He said kindly, "I'm back. It's freezing cold, are you okay?"

"Ah? You also know that I knocked down eight people and captured 24 people? No harm, no harm, how can they be my opponents! Hahaha, uncle is really too good!!"

Lu Shiyi was stunned, "I did you do it yourself?"

"Of course, I took the lead, and even King Jing and the minister of state were captured by me alive. For this kind of credit, if my father was still alive, at least he would have to be named a marquis! Back then, the thief Cao only captured a king and a few ministers. The credit is no less than him!"

The corners of Lu Shizhi's mouth trembled, but he still couldn't speak.

Liu Chang then took Lu Shizhi and walked towards Chang'an, "Uncle, I miss you so much these days. You don't know, I miss you three times a day when I think of you, I salivate. , the aftertaste is endless. I really want to find a big tripod"

Lu Shizhi was quite moved at first, but the more he listened, the more wrong he became. "You don't miss me, do you miss my sheep?"

"Hahaha, I thought about it, thought about it!"

In Chang'an City, you can see a lot of patrolling soldiers, the scale is larger than before.

Many of these soldiers are old acquaintances of Liu Chang. When they saw Liu Chang's arrival, these people looked at each other and sighed helplessly. They finally got half a year of leisure time, and they were gone.

The two walked towards the palace, Guan Ying walked at the end, coughing from time to time, and finally walked to the gate of the palace and got out of the car.

"Uncle, where is the tomb of the king's mausoleum? I want to go to worship."

Liu Chang suddenly asked.

Lu Shiyi was stunned and said, "Why do you curse Wang Ling like this?"

"Well, I probably remembered it wrong."

Lu Shizhi shook his head, "There is nothing in Chang'an, but His Majesty is ill and is recuperating in peace."

"what??"

Liu Chang's eyes widened suddenly. He couldn't understand Lu Shizhi's meaning for a while, and his heart was very complicated. In an instant, Liu Chang rushed into the palace. Lu Shizhi was wearing armor, and he couldn't run at all. He followed behind. When Liu Chang rushed into the palace, he saw that the attendants were all bowing their heads, their faces were bitter, and they were busy. Seeing their appearance, Liu Chang was startled and fearful, and quickly rushed towards Xuan Shi Hall!
"Brother~~~"

When Liu Chang howled and rushed into the hall of Xuan Shi, Liu Ying held two beauties left and right, and looked at Liu Chang in surprise.

Liu Chang raised his head and stared blankly at this familiar scene.

The two brothers stared at each other with wide eyes.

Liu Chang's face darkened.

Isn't it, here again? ? ?
ps: There was no electricity at home in the morning. My appliance switch was outside. I don't know whose child took off the cover. When it rained, the power was short-circuited directly. ! !
