Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 220 When I Leave

In the empty Jiaofang Hall, Empress Lu's figure was even more petite.

Holding needles and thread, she is seriously knitting, her eyesight is not as good as before, and she has to sit near the window.

Her strong and burly son sat on his knees like a hill, just staring at her silently at the moment.

"Why is it so quiet today?"

Empress Lu glanced at Liu Chang. From childhood to adulthood, once this Shuzi came to Jiaofang Hall, he would be chattering and complaining all kinds of things. From his grandfather to the soldiers in the city, he would almost tell what he did in a day. All the information about adding oil and vinegar is not lost at all.

It's a little unusual to be as quiet as today.

"Mother. I just want to see you more."

Empress Lu suddenly stopped the movements in her hands, and quickly calmed down again.

"Zhao Tuo is going to worship his ancestors. You must keep an eye on him when you accompany him on the way, and don't let him have any dealings with local people."

"Ah."

"When you arrive in Zhao State, you can deal with the mother of King Zhao. I heard that she is at odds with King Zhao and his concubines, and she intervenes in palace affairs. King Zhao has no children so far. If I don't need to take action, Zhao State will be destroyed."

"Ah."

"Let's go to Liang Guo. I arranged a marriage for Liang Wang, but Liang Wang seems not very happy." Empress Lu's tone was a little cold, she said: "If this is the case, then Liang Guo can also be removed."

"Ah."

Liu Chang answered all these things.

"Your valet Zhang Qing, he has followed me for many years. After you return to Tang, you can leave your food, daily life, and everything in the palace to him. His ability is good, but don't trust him too much. , pampering the valet will cause the foreign ministers to be dissatisfied with you."

"Ah."

"For political affairs, ask Zhang Cang, Wang Ling, and Li Zuoche and Zhu Jian for war affairs. To govern a big country, you need to be cautious, and you must implement policies steadily. ."

"Ah."

"Listen more to your lover's words. Among your lover, Luan Bu is the most loyal to you and the most knowledgeable, but he has no determination and hesitant to do things. He can serve you by your side, but he cannot be sent to a place to be independent. work."

"Zhaoping is seasoned and knows the world, but he doesn't have the courage to enterprising, and he is self-sufficient. He can coordinate everything for you in the palace, but he can't give real power and implement policies."

"Zhang Budo is capable, courageous, and dares to carry out any of your orders, but he is irritable and reckless, and he has the idea of ​​helping you go further. You can send him to places for reuse, but don't give too much money in the temple. position, otherwise it will be easy to confuse the officials and force you to do things you don’t want to do.”

"Jia Yi has a long-term strategy and is smart, but he is too young, unreasonable, and arrogant. He can talk but can't do it. You have to send him to the bottom to train him, and he can't always stay by his side."

"Chao Cuo is good at national policies, he can implement it, and he can work hard, but he doesn't have a long-term vision and is eager for quick success. You can make him an official next to Zhang Cang and Wang Ling, and let him go further."

"Among your friends, the most comprehensive and virtuous one is Ji Bu. I know you don't like him, but he is calm and considerate of you at all times. He has come to visit me several times, but he has always said it for you. Crime, marching and fighting, governing state affairs, none of your Shiren can compare to him, you can let him serve as your county governor in Taiyuan to coordinate the overall situation."

"I see, mother."

This time, Chang Liu was very quiet, but Empress Lu started chattering.

She talked a lot, from the affairs in Liu Chang's palace, to domestic affairs, to the Xiongnu, and there were countless things to explain.

"I've prepared some clothes for you. Try not to wear white clothes, but black clothes. They can't be washed cleanly."

"Stop wiping your mouth with your sleeves. I have prepared a silk cloth for you to wipe your mouth."

"Don't throw your clothes around, or you won't be able to find them again."

For some reason, Liu Chang's eyes suddenly turned red, he stood up abruptly, and walked quickly to his mother's side, "Mom, follow me to Tang Country, you are not by my side, I will definitely not be able to find clothes to wear every day, no People coax me, I can't sleep."

Liu Chang wiped his tears with his hands, sniffed, and said aggrievedly.

"Dignified man, why are you crying?!"

Empress Lu cursed in displeasure.

"If grandma doesn't come with me, I will kidnap grandma too!

Empress Lu stretched out her hand and found that she couldn't reach the back of Liu Chang's head, and shouted, "Bow your head!"

Liu Chang lowered his head, and then Empress Lu patted the back of his head and cursed: "Shuzi! You still want to tie me to Tang country! I have raised you for more than ten years, and now I am old, you still Don't let me go?!"

"Am I that annoying?"

"Did you only know now?! Shuzi, in the past ten years, have you ever made me feel at ease? Going out to cause trouble all day, from the day you started running, I began to worry about you, and I finally looked forward to it. You are in the country, and you still want to take me away? No way!"

Liu Chang was amused by this and laughed.

Empress Lu stretched out her hand and stroked Liu Chang's face.

"Long. Don't worry."

"Taking good care of your wife and children is still virtuous. Teach An. Don't dote on him too much, and don't let him become like you."

"Well, I see."

"Okay, let's get ready. Also, don't forget to say goodbye to your brother, and the Marquis of Wuyang's house, you have to go too."

Empress Lu waved her hand and let Chang Liu leave, "I still have other things to do here, you don't need to disturb me."

Liu Chang left Jiaofang Hall and came to Xuanshi Hall.

When Liu Chang walked into the Xuanshi Hall in a dejected manner, Liu Ying smiled and pulled him to her side, and asked with concern, "Eldest brother? What's the matter?"

"Second brother. I'm leaving."

"Tang country?"

"Ah."

Liu Ying was suddenly speechless, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can't we leave a few years later?"

"Second brother. I also have a lot of things I want to do."

"Ugh"

Liu Ying's expression became even more sad for a while, "In the beginning, all the brothers were there. Every time I miss you, I went to Tianlu Pavilion. Now you go to various places, and I am the only one who stayed here. Now you also want to Gone. I can't find anyone to talk to anymore."

"Second brother, according to the new system, our brothers have to come to see each other every year. You don't have to worry about it."

Liu Ying gritted her teeth and suddenly said, "eldest brother, I've been thinking about letting you do it."

"Second brother!"

However, Chang Liu interrupted him. Chang Liu raised his head and said proudly: "You may not know that I am born strong. Except for what my parents gave me, I have to do the rest myself. You have to get it by yourself, ah, don't be afraid, I will not rebel!"

"Hahaha~~"

Liu Ying was amused by Liu Chang, "If you rebel, remember to tell me."

"Second brother, don't look at how weak my Tang country is now, that's because King Xian hasn't been in place yet. When I get to Tang country, I'll attack the Xiongnu first, annex the Xianbei Wuhuan, and the Fuyu, and then fight all the way to the Western Regions. Go, swallow everything my grandson and the like for him!"

"That's called Wusun!"

"As for what his name is, if I say he calls me grandson then call me grandson!"

"When I conquer these areas, I have to cross the Western Regions and hit the westernmost all the way. At that time, the territory of Tang State will be ten times and one hundred times that of the Han! Second brother, you are the emperor, and I will be the plow of the grassland. Gu Tu, maybe I can give you a few more fiefs for the second brother at that time!"

Liu Ying shook her head, "Just your words are enough for you to build the Great Wall for a lifetime!"

"Hahaha, how can second brother be willing?"

Liu Ying said seriously: "The eldest brother's ambition is only, he can't just think about the war and care more about the people."

"Isn't there still a second brother for domestic matters? At that time, the second brother will give me food and weapons, and I will be responsible for expanding the territory. The two brothers will build an unprecedented huge empire, and let the whole world become the children of my big man! Wait! A hundred years later, we will go and ask my father to see who has the greater merit!"

Liu Ying said sadly: "I'm not worth the money of Chinese people"

"Who said the second brother, just what I said just now, if you change someone else, I will not be able to leave this Xuanshi Hall, only the second brother can trust me, if I want to expand the territory in the future, the second brother will also It must have been the first to send food and weapons, it can be seen that the second brother is also a wise emperor, but, second brother, you can't do this to others, only to me!"

"Second brother, you can manage domestic affairs with peace of mind and leave all foreign affairs to me!"

"Our brothers are united and will enter the temple together in the future to be worshipped by future generations!"

Liu Ying laughed and looked at Liu Chang with reluctance, but nodded, "Okay, let's go to the temple together."

"when are you leaving?"

"tomorrow."

"Then, set up a family dinner tonight?"

"it is good!!"

According to Empress Lu's instructions, Liu Chang went to Wuyang Hou's mansion again.

When Liu Chang appeared in the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion, his aunt and uncle hurried to greet him.

Today's Liu Chang can no longer be treated as a child. This is now the real king. In terms of family affection, Liu Chang has to pay homage to the two of them, and in terms of titles, Fan Kuai should kowtow to Liu Chang and call him the king.

Seeing Marquis Wuyang again, Liu Chang felt a little uncomfortable.

The first warrior of the big man, his hair color is also gray now, his body is still tall, his back is a little curved, his face is full of wrinkles, even his eyebrows have become a little gray, and his body is still bulging. He was as strong as before, and his face no longer had the fierceness of the past, so he couldn't scare Liu Chang at a glance.

"uncle!"

"Hahaha, you Shuzi finally remembered me!"

Fan Kuai walked up to Liu Chang, patted him on the shoulder, and said in surprise, "You are stronger!"

Immediately, he hugged Liu Chang directly and walked into the house. Lu Yu glared at Fan Kuai and followed them in with a smile.Fan Kuai was very happy to know that Liu Chang came to visit him. He ordered Liu Chang to sit beside him, and looked at Liu Chang. He seemed to see the elder brother when he was young. Although he didn't look like him, his words and actions Behaviour is very similar.

"Got to go?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"tomorrow!"

Fan Kuai was stunned, "So fast??"

Fan Kuai was silent for a long time before he said, "If I were ten years younger, I would accompany you to the Tang Kingdom and kill him a few more Huns!"

"Hahaha, Father Zhong is not too old now? If Father Zhong is willing to go, I will worship him as a state minister!"

"Oh, forget it! Everyone in your Tang country is the prime minister, right? A few days ago, that Shuzi was clamoring to go to Tang country to be the prime minister. You might as well give it to a pavilion or something!"

The two laughed loudly. Lu Yu sat beside him and said with a smile, "Young man. You are young. Since he wants to go to Tang with you, then this Shuzi will be entrusted to you."

"Don't worry Auntie, follow me, sooner or later he will become the prime minister of our Tang Kingdom!"

Liu Chang said, hesitantly, "Is Fan Qing okay?"

The atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

Fan Kuai didn't speak, Lu Yu thought for a moment, and said, "Lord. Qing and Lu family are related, no matter what, they can't be a concubine. Otherwise, it will hurt the Queen Mother's face."

"Where did the princes and kings come from, what kind of concubines?"

"The widowed country of Tang has a system of two queens left and right!"

"Ah, how do you divide this heir? Who will be in charge?"

"It's all the son-in-law, I'll be in charge!"

"Then the matchmaker is married to you. Do you understand? You're leaving tomorrow."

Liu Chang touched his nose and said, "Qing is still young and has never reached the age of marriage. Let's discuss this matter when I come to see Your Majesty next time."

After discussing the matter, the atmosphere returned to the original harmonious atmosphere.

After drinking a lot of wine, Fan Kuai talked about the past again.

Fan Kuai complained about his current weakness, and talked about his strongest years, with longing in his eyes.

Like most generals, Fan Kuai is also suffering from illness, which is probably the fate of the generals. After fighting for a lifetime, many scars and dying from endless illness, Fan Kuai said, "Thank you so much for the doctor you sent. , he gave me a few needles, and the pain got better."

"such a pity"

Fan Kuai looked at Liu Chang, but just drank another glass of wine.

Liu Chang smiled and said, "I heard that my uncle is called the first warrior of the Han Dynasty? I'm strong now, why don't I try to compete?"

Lu Ru hurriedly said, "Your uncle is old."

Fan Kuai interrupted her rudely, his eyes full of fighting spirit, "Okay!!"

In the courtyard, the two bears looked at each other, but Lu Yu looked at them worriedly, but did not dare to speak.

Suddenly, the two threw themselves together, grabbed each other's shoulders, and started wrestling! !

Liu Chang felt Fan Kuai's enormous power. At the same time, Fan Kuai also gritted his teeth and continued to exert his strength. Both sides wanted to pounce on each other, and they were stuck together. Feeling, at this moment, Fan Kuai felt that Liu Chang was a little relieved, and suddenly pulled Liu Chang, Liu Chang staggered a few steps, Fan Kuai took advantage of the situation and pressed him on the ground, pressing him directly to the ground.

Fan Kuai gasped for breath, sweating profusely, pressed Liu Chang to the ground, raised his head and laughed loudly
"Hahaha!! Who is the first warrior of the big man?!"

"Okay! Get up! Uncle, you are too heavy!!"

Fan Kuai got up with a smile, his face was full of smiles, Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward to wipe the sweat for him, but Fan Kuai shouted loudly, "It doesn't have to be this way!!"

Liu Chang sat on the ground, moved his arms, and shouted, "This doesn't count! I slipped my feet just now!"

"Hahaha, you Shuzi, no matter how big you grow up, you are not my opponent!"

Fan Kuai laughed.

Liu Chang was still muttering, his face full of dissatisfaction, and he shouted, "It's just that I'm still young. When I come to the court next year, we'll come again!"

"it is good!!!"

When Liu Chang left the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion, Zhang Budo was still talking about the arrival of the talent just now, and he said helplessly: "Your Majesty can beat Fan Kuai, you just slipped, your Majesty is not familiar with this place, if you are in the Tang Palace. When the inner corner is reached, the king will definitely win! Fan Kuai was out of breath just now, and the king didn't even sweat."

Liu Chang just smiled and didn't reply. Among the other people, Ji Bu was the only one who didn't say anything, just smiled at Liu Chang.

The king is really a good person.

Liu Chang went to see the "instructor" Wang of the Taixue again, apologized to him again, and left many generous gifts as compensation, and promised him the position of the prime minister of Tang.

At night, Liu Chang just returned to the palace.

At the banquet in the palace, everyone gathered.

Empress Lu sat in the upper seat, Liu Ying sat on her plate, and everyone else sat casually, after all, this was a family banquet.

Liu Chang, Empress Cao, Cao Shu, Liu Jian, Liu Xiang, Jia Yi, Zhang Yan, Lu Shizhi, Fan Kuai, etc., are all relatives of their own family. This banquet is also to see Liu Chang off, and Fan Kuai is still shouting. He said that he had defeated Liu Chang, and Liu Chang retorted displeasedly. Everyone was eating meat and chatting about various things.

"Mother. I need your help with something."

Liu Chang smiled and stood beside Empress Lv with a flattering smile.

"How much?"

"Not asking for money!"

"I went to Tang country with Cao Shu this time, but An is too young for him to bear this hardship. Tang country is remote after all, I am afraid that he will not be able to adapt to it, so I want my mother to help take care of him for a few years. Wait for him a little longer. Great, take me back to Tang Kingdom."

Empress Lu was a little stunned, and she looked at Cao Shu.

Cao Shu smiled and said, "Your Majesty has discussed with me, An is still too young, so I still have to stay with you."

Liu Chang shouted, "Mother, this is what Shu told me!"

Empress Lu looked at Cao Shu with a much softer look, but she was still very displeased and said, "I raised you to such a big age, and I have to help you raise my son?! How can there be such a reason?"

"Not everyone is qualified to raise my son Liu Chang, this is your honor, mother!"

Empress Lu stretched out her hand and was about to pull out a stick, Liu Chang hurriedly hid behind Liu Ying, "Mother! I'll be leaving tomorrow!"

"Mum, you have to take good care of yourself, let him practice martial arts more, and never develop a bad habit of studying hard!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter, but Empress Cao didn't look so happy, she just smiled fakely, looking at Xiang with a smirk, her eyes full of worry.

Liu Chang was a little drunk, and Liu Jian hurriedly covered his ears.

"The wind is blowing~~~"

Liu Chang started singing when he was drunk, and Liu Ying also started to sing for him. This was the first time for Liu Ying to sing. However, he had the style of Emperor Gao. Singing skills, anyway, the brothers sang loudly, one voice overshadowed the other, and the good Jiaofangdian was turned into a slaughterhouse.

They started dancing swords again, and the atmosphere was always good.

Until the end, the drunk Liu Chang hugged Empress Lu tightly and cried.

"Mother~~~"

No matter how much others tried to console him, he just wouldn't let go.

Empress Lu gently stroked Chang Liu, who was crying bitterly in her arms.

Kissed his forehead.

"Let's go back."
