Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 360

"Father!!! I'm here!!!"

Xiahouzao took a deep breath and roared into the mansion.

The Xiahou family's mansion is located in the east of Chang'an, next to the city wall. Liu Bang asked Xiahouying in a low voice during the banquet, when are you going to rebel?
Xia Houying was so frightened that she almost jumped up and loudly retorted that she never wanted to rebel.

Liu Bang immediately cursed: "Why are you building a mansion on the edge of the city wall if you don't rebel?"Are you ready to escape from Chang'an after defeat?
Of course, Xia Houying built the mansion beside the city wall simply because of Xia Houying's own hobbies, he likes cars.

You may not believe it, but it is actually illegal to drive a car in Chang'an City. Although this system has been trampled on in the past ten years, it is indeed illegal to do so. Therefore, Xia Houying can only choose one that is convenient for going out of the city. The place, so that you can go out of the city and run wildly at any time.

He enjoyed the feeling of galloping on the carriage.

Xia Houying, as the first generation of car gods in the Heavenly Corps of Dahan Fierce Men, is a veritable car god.

He ran into Li You in Dang County, Zhang Han in Dong'e, Zhao Ben in Kaifeng, and Yang Xiong in Qu Yu. The most outrageous thing is that when he hit Yang Xiong, he captured 68 people alone, and 850 people were captured because of fear. He simply surrendered.

Later, he bumped into Xiang Yu in Pengcheng. Although he never bumped into it, it could not be regarded as Xia Houying's fault. If it weren't for Xia Houying, he could continue to bump into people. There is nothing afterward.

Afterwards, Xia Houying smashed Xiang Yu's army in Chen County and recaptured the land of Chu.

When Xiahouzao took Fan Yan's hand and the two walked into the mansion, Xiahouying was standing in front of a chariot, gently stroking the chariot. The chariot looked quite worn out, and Xiahouying stood there , He is very tall. Among the generals, he is relatively handsome, and even has some elegant temperament, although Xiahouzao did not inherit at all.

Fan Yan limped into the mansion and followed Xiahouzao to meet Xiahouying.

"came back?"

"Yeah!!! I'm back!!"

Xiahouzao said loudly, and explained to Fan Yan next to him: "My grandfather was injured when fighting Yingbu, and his ears can't hear clearly."

Fan Yan nodded and greeted him respectfully, and looked at an old man beside Xia Houying with doubts. Xia Houzao obviously didn't know this man, he just thought he was an old friend of his grandfather, nodded politely, and then Xiahou Zao invited Mrs. Fan into the inner room for dinner, and the old man left after saying goodbye to Xia Houying.

Xia Houying sat in the upper seat.

Xiahouzao and Fan Fan sat on either side of him.

"I've done a great job!!"

Xia Houzao said loudly to his father about his achievements, and Xia Houying nodded lightly, not knowing if he heard clearly.

The servant brought out the food, and everyone ate together.

Xiahouzao ate the food, "You, this dignified Marquis of Wuyang, don't even dare to go back home, but you still want to come to my house to eat and live."

"Oh, you don't understand. I'd rather be beaten by my grandfather than listen to my grandmother's reprimands. My grandma is enough by herself, and now that there is an extra minister, she is becoming more and more like my grandmother. I'll just stay with you for a few days."

"Hahaha, okay, don't worry! My grandfather can't hear him, we can steal his wine to eat, and we can sing loudly at night, just to find a few beauties, hahaha, he won't either. knew!"

"And his chariot, I know a few good ones, with blades on both sides, it's a real murder weapon, hahaha, tomorrow while he's asleep, we can steal it and try it!"

Xia Houzao grinned.

Fan Yan secretly glanced at Xia Houying, Xia Houying's face was stern, even if he couldn't hear it, it was quite scary just looking like this.

"Forget it, your grandfather looks scary. If he finds out."

"What are you afraid of, he won't know!"

Xiahouzao got up, walked to his father's side, and shouted in his ear, "Go and rest!! I have something to discuss with him!"

Xia Houying nodded and turned to leave.

"Why didn't your grandfather speak?"

"He. He is a person with a good face. He is afraid that he can't hear clearly, say the wrong thing, and make fun of him, so he doesn't dare to speak."

Fan Yan let out a long sigh, "He looks a little bit"

"No problem, you wait, I'll get the wine!!!"

The two brothers brought out Xiahouying's best wine. They drank wine, sang songs, and ate meat. It was almost dawn, and they fell asleep. The couple was still asleep, and Xia Houzao didn't wake him up, but walked into the courtyard instead.

Xia Houying stood beside the chariot again, groping for his car, with pity in his eyes.

However, his back looks a little lonely.

At the time, the general who drove the car and made great progress can only remember his past in this way at this moment.

Xia Houzao felt as if something was stuck in his throat and hesitated.

Xia Houying stared dumbfounded as Xia Houzao came with a horse and put on a chariot in front of his own face. Is this Shuzi stealing my chariot right now?Don't want to hide anymore?
"Father!!! Come on!!! Get in the car!!!"

When Xiahouzao saw that his father did not respond, he pulled him into the car, handed the reins into his hands, and stood by his side, "You can drive safely!! I will be your eyes and ears! !!"

Xiahouzao let out a loud snort, and the chariot rushed out.

Xia Houying drove out of the house, turned a corner, and came to the gate of the city. After leaving the city, the speed of the chariot began to get faster and faster. Facing the cold wind in front of him, he soon discovered that his father didn't need such a guide at all, he just couldn't hear it, and his driving skills were better than his own.

Every place that Xia Houzao thought would definitely overturn, but Xia Houying was able to drive past it as if walking on the ground. When Xia Houying drove accurately through the two carriages on the way, Xia Houzao only felt as if he was young. When the time came, the feeling of being taken to run by my father reappeared, and he couldn't help shouting, "It's amazing!!!"

The father and son ran wild outside the city for a long time, until the sun was about to set, and the two returned home hungry.

Fan Mi was sitting on the stone steps of their house at the moment. Seeing them coming, Fan Mi couldn't help getting up and scolding: "You don't even take me with you when you go out!!!"

Xia Houzao laughed and jumped out of the car, "Next time I'll bring you, don't worry!"

As he was talking, he saw the old man standing beside him from yesterday and frowned, "Who are you? Why do you still come to my house every day?"

Before the old man spoke, Xia Houying replied calmly, "He is a famous doctor in Chu, and His Majesty invited me to treat my ears."

At that moment, Xia Houzao felt a chill behind his back, and he jumped up in fright.

"Father?? Can you hear it??"

"Yeah. Thanks to this famous doctor, you sang all night last night, and my ears were almost blocked by you again."

Xia Houzao remembered those conversations yesterday, and suddenly laughed, "Father, I have something to do. I'll be back later."

Xia Houying waved the reins abruptly, and the steed made a charge.

Seeing their cowardice, Xia Houying just laughed proudly.

Xia Houzao seemed to think of something, "No, if you can hear it, why don't you drive? Why are you pretending to be sad here??"

"I didn't pretend. When you weren't around, I was driving every day. Today, I wiped the chariot, and you took me to steer the car."

"I thought."

Xiahouzao muttered angrily, looking very annoyed.

Xia Houying jumped out of the car, washed his hands, and stretched his body, "Okay, let's talk about business, I heard that you didn't obey the military law in the Western Regions, attacked privately, and even insulted the captain, saying that you would give it to the emperor. On the performance, let me pass the title to you... robbing civilian property, beheading soldiers in the Western Regions pretending to be Huns. Oh, yes, you still blame me for not giving you a sister, saying that I am useless, right?"

Xiahouzao stammered and said, "Father, these are all rumors."

"This must be a villain who framed me and wanted to alienate our father-son relationship."

"No. Father, please listen to me, Father and Father, please forgive me!! You!!! Help me!! You are a dog. Don't run away!!!"

"Oh, let you say that flat words don't sound good."

Chen Mai took a sip of tea and said softly.

"What did you say?"

Chen Ping sat opposite him, and the father and son looked alike, not only in appearance, but also in their expressions and expressions.

Facing Father's question, Chen Mai shook his head gently, "It's nothing, I just remembered the surprise I prepared for my friend earlier. He probably already enjoyed it."

Chen Ping didn't like Chen Mai's aloof appearance, and said with a sneer, "Shu Commander, two thousand stones are amazing."

Chen Mai also didn't like Chen Ping's aloof appearance, and also sneered: "I still can't compare with my father. At my age, my father is already determined to be the third public."

How should I put it, Chen Ping is a very arrogant person, and he doesn't like other people posing in front of him, and Chen Mai has inherited this perfectly. In the closed loop, we are proud together and look down on each other together.

Chen Ping had no intention of arguing with the Shuzi in front of him, and he immediately said: "The situation in Shu is different from here, there are many merchants there, and the local barbarians have fought with the king, if you use strong means, Those barbarians are not allowed to write to the king, if you are soft, those merchants will not put you in the eyes."

Chen Ping became happier the more he talked, as if he had seen his son slumped, crying and snot writing to him for help.

Seeing his grandfather's appearance as a schadenfreude, Chen Mai did not panic at all, "I went to the land of Shu, and I used the power of the barbarians to deal with the merchants, the money of the merchants to support the people, and the power of the people to build the land of Shu. How does my father feel about the achievement of Shu in exchange for fame?"

"Well said."

Chen Ping squinted his eyes, "Actually, there is another way to quickly gain a firm foothold in Shu."

He didn't say it clearly, just raised his head, the meaning is obvious, you come and ask, I will tell you.

But Chen Mai just didn't ask, "I don't need to worry about my father, I can handle these things well!"

The father and son snorted coldly at the same time, looking at each other even more unpleasantly.

It's just, that look, that movement, are extraordinarily synchronized, as if they are the same person.

Chen Ping was busy with everything on weekdays, and he couldn't stay in the mansion for too long. After a meal, he quickly went to the palace to do errands. As soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, he saw an old acquaintance.

"General Xiahou?!"

Chen Ping was indeed a little surprised. Since Xia Houying was injured in the crusade against Ying Bu, he resigned from office to cultivate at home. Chen Ping and others have not seen him for a long time. In today's temple, the old ministers died one by one. There were fewer and fewer ministers, and when they suddenly saw Xia Houying, Chen Ping changed his usual indifference and greeted him with a smile.

Xia Houying jumped off the carriage, still looking very strong, but thinner than before.

"Chen Hou. Long time no see."

"Yeah, I'm too busy to visit you."

The two chatted, and when Chen Ping asked about Xia Houying's purpose, Xia Houying said truthfully: "My body has recovered after so many years, and I should find something to do. Zhou Bo is in the north, Guanying In the south, I am constantly gaining military merit, if I continue to lie down, then I will be surpassed by them.”

"Hahaha, it's still the way you think!"

"If he has recovered, he should continue to serve."

"Yeah, if I stay at home again, I'm afraid that sooner or later, I will be pissed off by the Shuzi at home! This Shuzi, it's true."

Xia Houying scolded his teeth, Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, and said with empathy: "Indeed. In these years, we have been busy outside, but we have neglected the discipline of our children. My son, alas, is also difficult to discipline and extremely wicked!!"

Two colleagues who hadn't seen each other for a long time found a common topic at this moment.

The two complained to each other about their son and talked about each other's educational experience.

So chatting all the way into the Hall of Houde.

Liu Chang was stunned for a long time when he saw the two walking in so enthusiastically. In his impression, he rarely saw Chen Ping chatting happily with others. On weekdays, he chatted a little more with Han Xin. , what's the situation today?

"Father Zhong!!!"

Liu Chang still stood up and greeted with a smile.

Xiahouying hurriedly went to pay homage to see you, "Thank you for the famous doctor that Your Majesty has found. I don't know what to do."

"Hey, why is Father Zhong so polite?"

"This is a courtesy of the monarch and ministers!"

Liu Changda laughed, "Father Zhong doesn't have to do this, that's what I should do, and I never thought about asking for anything. Of course, if Father Zhong can drive once for the widow, in return, the widow will not. reject."

"If Your Majesty does not dislike it, please drive for His Majesty!"

Xiahouying is like this. He is different from Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo. Fan Kuai will slap Liu Bang for the sake of meat, and Zhou Bo will slap Fan Kuai for military merit.

Xia Houying was different. Even when Uncle Suntong did not formulate the etiquette, Xia Houying respected Liu Bang. He didn't dare to speak like Fan Kuai's big brother. He dared to do it when he was drunk. Of course, Fan Kuai had those days In the past, it was more time to fight with Liu Bang. After all, the ministers took part in the fight, Zhou Bo, Xia Houying and these people would help press Fan Kuai, and then Liu Bang would get started.

The three sat down one after another, and Liu Chang looked at Xia Houying and said, "Father Zhong, I didn't want to bother you."

"It's just that this time in the Western Regions, the chariot army has been sparsely formed for a long time and has not been able to play the corresponding level. Therefore, I would like to invite you to work in Hexi to help train the chariot troops, and then fight in the Western Regions, the chariots. Troops are still very necessary, unlike the grasslands, cavalry alone is not enough.”

"Hexi?"

"It was under Zhou Bo's command, but I wronged you."

"It's okay, I'm not as good as him, it's not a grievance."

Xia Houying said very frankly.

Liu Chang was a little surprised, he did not expect that Xia Houying agreed so simply.

The two chatted for a while before Chen Ping talked about his business here.

"Your Majesty, the first imperial examination after you ascended the throne must not be handed over to Zhang Wuzhuo."

Chen Ping is very serious, "Zhang Budo is very loyal to you, but in these matters, he is too extreme. This is your first imperial examination after you ascended the throne, and there must be no trouble. Please let your majesty let Zhaoping come. Take charge of this matter, the order that Zhang Budo is giving now is too much."

In fact, Chang Liu also attached great importance to this imperial examination, and he even proposed to write the questions for the examinees himself, and let the third public be in charge of this matter.

It's a pity that he found the wrong three masters. After Zhang Wuzhu received the order, he simply wanted to turn this imperial examination into a competition of flattery. He probably wanted to select the talents who were most loyal to His Majesty and who knew how to beat horses. I couldn't bear it anymore, even Chen Ping couldn't bear it anymore.

"Forget it, don't let Zhaoping do it. Zhaoping always procrastinates when he does things. It's up to you to handle it!"

With a wave of Liu Chang's hand, he handed the matter over to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping was a little dazed, "But Your Majesty, I have other things to do."

"Those who are able work hard, this matter will be handed over to Father Zhong, please don't refuse."

"The autumn harvest is coming soon. Let the corvés in various places stop and wait until the autumn harvest before continuing. If anyone dares to continue to persecute the people for their political achievements, they will be executed directly!"

Liu Chang ordered again that Chen Ping and Xia Houying left the Hall of Houde.

"This stubby doesn't care anymore!!"

Cao Shu walked into the Hall of Houde angrily, his face full of anger.

Liu Chang was taken aback, "What happened?"

"Ann! He ran away!"

"what??"

"He didn't go to Tianlu Pavilion, nor was he in Shangfang. I asked someone and said that he took someone out of the city in the morning. This has disappeared for a day. Your Majesty should discipline him. As a prince, how can he go out of the city at any time? What? What if you encounter danger outside the city? Why don't you let us know? This Shuzi can't be used to him anymore!"

Seeing Cao Shu so angry, Liu Chang also frowned.

"It seems that I indulged him too much on weekdays, which caused him to become like this."

"He is the future emperor, how can it be like this?"

"I'm going to take him back!"

Liu Chang walked out angrily, Cao Shu was a little worried, and hurriedly stopped him, "Your Majesty. Just swear a few words, but you can't do it."

"Never forgive him!"

Liu Chang angrily left the palace.

Cao Shu waited anxiously for a day and a night.

Not only did the prince not come back, but even the emperor disappeared.

At that moment, she suddenly realized.

"Mother!!"

She approached the Changle Palace angrily.
