Father Han Gaozu

Chao Cuo knelt down and sat down, his forehead was covered with sweat.

His back was almost soaked in sweat, his back was dripping with sweat, his thighs were trembling, and he lowered his head deeply, not daring to move.

An old man who was harmless to humans and animals was sitting on the upper seat and giggling, while the little girl was hanging around his neck.

Chao Cuo, who was notorious among the big men and was famous for his head iron, was sitting under them at this moment, not saying a word.

There is no way, the old man is the current Taiwei, the imperial teacher Han Xin, and the little girl is the big Han princess Liu Ye.

No one in Chang'an would dare to provoke these two.

After Han Xin came back, of course the little princess was the first to visit him. The princess missed him very much. Fortunately, Han Xin brought her a lot of gifts. It was a gift for the little princess. Liu Jie quickly forgave his father the goat, and got tired of being by his side again. The displeasure of Chang and Zhang Buyi dissipated.

Liu Jie complained to him about the situation in the palace, telling him how his elder brother bullied him, how his mother punished him, and what he said was vivid, but Han Xin listened seriously, and even advised her, teaching her to How to fight back against your brother.

Liu Jie chatted very happily, and looked down at Chao Cuo again.

"Why are you still here?"

Liu Ji asked angrily.

Chao Cuo, who has always been tough, also hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I have come to see the Taiwei, and I have something very important to ask the Taiwei for sin."

When Liu Jie heard about it, he didn't chase him away, "What's important for you?"

Chao Cuo was taken aback for a moment, then secretly looked at Taiwei.

Seeing that Han Xin was in a good mood, Chao Cuo gritted his teeth and said, "In the near future, I will be in charge of summoning the wise people from all over the world to guard the mausoleum. Among them, there is a family who uttered wild words and even got the servants to confront the soldiers. They were captured and convicted by someone I sent, and it was later learned that they were relatives of the Taiwei."

Only then did Han Xin look at Chao Cuo, "In-laws?"

"The Taiwei's wife's family, they live in the Tang Dynasty, and they think they are protected by the Taiwei, so they openly rebelled against the soldiers."

Han Xin didn't seem angry, and stretched out his hand towards Chao Cuo, "Come on, get closer."

Chao Cuo hurriedly approached Han Xin again, Han Xin stared at him, and asked blankly, "Do you think I look like a chicken?"

Liu Jie couldn't help laughing, "The eldest father is not like a chicken, but the eldest father is like a goat!"

Chao Cuo's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly bowed again, "I definitely didn't want to show my prestige, it happened by chance. I didn't know that these people were related to the Taiwei."

"A person like you, even if he knows that these people are related to me, would he be so afraid? Are you and people like Buyi afraid of death?"

Han Xin didn't believe his words at all, "Is it because I knew they were related to me before I openly arrested them?"

"Step on me to stand up, and treat me like a chicken?"

Chao Cuo panicked and lowered his head again. This time, even his voice trembled.

"Taiwei, that's not the case. How dare I lie to you? It's Liwei, how can you provoke you?"

"I am in charge of guarding the mausoleum, and there are many opponents in the world."

"They all think that I am killing people for the sake of fame and fame. I only divide them according to the land. Right and wrong are not distinguished, and good and evil are unknown. But where do good people come from so much arable land? They don't cultivate it, they don't have merit, and they don't inherit it. Ordinary The people regard the land as their life, and if they are asked to sell their land, they may not be able to do so in times of natural disasters, let alone in a time of peace? Are the farmers of my big man rich enough to sell their farmland at will? I am making arrangements Before this matter, I wrote a letter to Liu Gong of Hexi Kingdom."

"Mr. Liu is old, and he plans to resign and return to his hometown this year. But when he heard about this, he excitedly expressed that he would come to Chang'an to discuss with me. This is his reply letter. Please take a look."

Chao Cuo took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Han Xin.

"Liu Gong cares most about the affairs of the people. The people I ordered to relocate have clear standards. They will only be relocated if their arable land exceeds [-] mu!! Tell me, what kind of good people can be relocated through legitimate means? , buy a thousand acres of land from the people?? Today’s big man, twenty acres of land can barely keep the people alive, how about a thousand acres?? Now Your Majesty is developing business, so I don’t want to discourage business development. According to the standard of family property, doing business to make a profit is justified, but if you have money to plunder the land, you should die, doesn’t the Taiwei think that’s the case?”

The more Chao Cuo talked, the more excited he became.

Han Xin looked down at the letter in his hand, "You are right, and it is indeed the case, but what I am asking is not these, I am asking you, why do you step on me to stand up?"

Chao Cuo successfully brought the topic to the issue of protecting the mausoleum, but it is obviously not so easy to fool the Taiwei in such a way.

Under Han Xin's indifferent gaze, Chao Cuo stopped arguing, lowered his head, and said helplessly, "I didn't mean it. If the Taiwei wants to punish me for this, I have no complaints!"

"Annoyed by this?!"

"Why, after Liwei started to threaten again? If I kill you, I will bear the notoriety of protecting my relatives, right? I care about this?!"

Han Xin was furious at once, as a person who prefers soft to hard, he was about to call someone to arrest this guy, but Liu Jing who was beside him was a little scared, and took a few steps back, Han Xin held back his anger immediately.

"Hey, you go back to the palace first, I'll take care of things here first."

"Father, are you going to punish this man?"

"Haha, I'm just talking about something, you go back, I'm done, I'll send someone to pick you up."

"it is good!"

The princess left with a smile, and Han Xin's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Taiwei!! I am definitely not intimidating. There are people in the world who dare to threaten the Taiwei? I really did it unintentionally. Please forgive me!!"

Chao Cuo pleaded guilty again.

Han Xin took a deep breath, "I hate others who despise me the most. Especially people like you, if you are not still working for the emperor, I will cut off your head now, not because you arrested my in-laws, just Because of your disrespect, you first used me to establish your prestige, then threatened and threatened me, and now you are trying to deceive me by submissive methods. Do you really think that no one in the world dares to kill you?"

"The Taiwei has too much prejudice against me, I will never dare to do this, Taiwei, I will go back and release people right away."

"Get lost!! Let me see you again, I will behead you!!"

Han Xin threw out the book on the side, and just hit Chao Cuo in the face. Chao Cuo pleaded guilty in panic, and then left tremblingly.

Looking at Chao Cuo who left, the anger on Han Xin's face disappeared immediately, and he became very calm. He picked up the letter written by Liu Jing to Chao Cuo, read it for a while, and then sneered. Compared with those second-generation generals, he is more aware of the local situation. He clearly remembers how those big families tried every means to seize his family's farmland after his father passed away. The family property left behind, his mother also died of grief and anger. In the end, he didn't even have the money to bury his mother.

Han Xin pondered for a long time, and he didn't know how many things he recalled. He put away the letter and picked up the book on the ground.

On the other hand, Chao Cuo walked out of Taiwei's mansion in a panic, got into the car directly, and asked the groom to leave here quickly, and he even spared the way to return to Yushi's mansion.

Chao Cuo's embarrassment was seen by many people.

But these people didn't dare to laugh, all of them had solemn and sad expressions. Obviously, they all knew where Chao Cuo came back from.

Compared with Chao Cuo fleeing in embarrassment, they actually wanted to see this man executed by the Taiwei.

After returning to Yushi's Mansion, Chao Cuo put away his frightened appearance, patted the dust on his body, and straightened his clothes. Zhao Yu stood aside respectfully. He admired the great things this Yushi had done. Looking at the scars on Chao Cuo's face, he couldn't help but say, "It's really hard for you."

"What's the matter? Can the Taiwei still kill me? This time even the Taiwei's in-laws have been cleaned up. I think these people in the court dare to say anything. Their slave clans spread all over the place, killing On the one hand, how dare you talk about a good family after using the stolen money to help others a few times? How can there be such a thing in the world? Is it virtuous to use the stolen money to help others?"

"If this is virtuous, I will find a reason to raid their homes some other day, and then use part of the money to help Qianshou. Then I, Chao Cuo, am also a great kind person!"

Chao Cuo's eyes were very fierce, "This kind of people manipulates public opinion, saying that I am cruel and oppressing the people. If my family has a thousand acres of arable land, can they still be called people? I don't even have that much."

Zhao Yu thought it was right, and he said again: "But this time, I still used a risky move to involve the Taiwei. I am afraid that the Taiwei will ask the crime in the future. This matter must be done by you."

"Hahaha, the Taiwei knows it well. He is different from the people in the temple. The Taiwei has been poor since he was a child, and he has been humiliated and humiliated by the powerful for many times. He knows that I deliberately use him to gain power, but he sees it for His Majesty's face." From the looks of it, in terms of the righteousness of dealing with tyrants, he will not make things difficult for him, maybe he is still applauding for me in his heart, no, he must be applauding for me, otherwise why would he cooperate with me like this? I know that the honor of the Taiwei has not changed my mind, nor can I protect my own family."

Zhao Yu was still a little worried, "Although that's the case, you still have to be careful, there are too many people in the world who want to get rid of you."

"It's just rotten rats, why be afraid of them?"

"You go and sue now. Sue His Royal Highness, and say that you can do it with all your strength!"

"only!!"

When Zhao Yu came to the prince's mansion, the prince was not here. The retainers told him that the prince had gone to the palace and never came back. Zhao Yu had no choice but to ask them to send someone to inform him, while he was waiting here.

He is not qualified to visit the prince in the palace.

At this moment, Liu An was standing outside the Quanning Hall, frowning and lowering his head.

The Taishanghuang's health has always been poor, and he is considered the weakest in a generation of clan. As he got older, his illnesses became more frequent and his condition became worse and worse.

Not far away, Xia Wuju stood in front of Liu Chang anxiously, reporting the situation inside.

Liu Ying's problem is very simple, that is, years of indulgence and excessive drinking, which caused serious problems in his internal organs and disordered five elements.

Liu Chang naturally wouldn't listen to these words, he just looked at the many doctors in front of him, "Think of a way!"

"Whether it's reading ancient books or searching for foreign medicine, whoever can cure my elder brother will be named a Marquis and lead ten thousand households!!"

Everyone in the medical family had different expressions when they heard these words. Some people felt that the opportunity had come, while others felt that a catastrophe was imminent. Xia Wu belonged to the latter. No matter how high it is, how severe the punishment will be. Healed Feng Wanhuhou?Can it be cured?Isn't it to kill the clan? ?

"Back then Pingyanghou was also seriously ill, and the poisoned doctor revived him. Now that I am a big man, the world is so vast, can't I find a way to save my brother? Find it for me!"

When Liu Chang gave an order, the doctors left in a hurry.

Only then did Liu An come forward, holding the potion in his hand, "Father, you can go in with the potion to serve the Supreme Emperor"

"Fuck off!!"

Liu Chang's eyes were extremely angry, he stared at Liu An, wanted to scold something, looked at the doctors around him, but didn't speak, snorted coldly, turned and left here.

Liu An lowered his head helplessly, without explaining.

Liu Chang left here and went directly to the Longevity Hall of Changle Palace.

There are not many people around Empress Lu, Tiying, Zhang Yan, and a few women are all around her, trying their best to tease this old woman. Empress Lu doesn't care about temple affairs so much anymore, now He is also living a life full of children and grandchildren. Every day he is walking in Changle Palace or chatting with everyone. When Liu Chang came suddenly, everyone got up in a hurry. Still as calm as ever.

After Liu Chang sat down, Empress Lu asked, "Your brother is dying?"

Liu Chang was shocked, "How can my mother say that! My brother is fine, it's just a minor illness."

"Why do you lie. I reprimanded him at the beginning, don't indulge in lust, and the doctor persuaded him several times. Even if he listened to it once, there would be no such consequences!"

"Mother!"

Liu Chang interrupted her.

Empress Lv sneered, "So what if he can be cured? When he gets better, he has to drink and have fun again, and deal with evil people all day long. How many times has this happened? This is the fifth time he has been seriously ill!! The first four times People who have never corrected themselves, will they change this time?!"

"Mother, elder brother is just venting his grief and anger in this way. I know him very well, and he always feels extremely guilty. He feels that he, as the eldest son, failed to fulfill his duties, which made mother suffer and me suffer. I blame myself and feel sad, I feel uneasy, and I just drink alcohol for fun all day long."

"Is he wronged?"

"As long as he has half your talents, why is this?!"

"Mum! If you and father had cared a little bit about him back then, maybe it wouldn't be the case! Back then when father kicked him off the carriage, you even scolded him when you met him. You never said a good word to him. My father always scolds him for not being like my father, and you always say he is incompetent! You demand him by your own standards all day long, and his character is not all created by you?! Besides, even if my brother has no ability to govern the country , to us, he is the most loving elder brother. Elder brother has never betrayed us! We never feel that elder brother is mediocre!"

"Including restraining you in this palace? Have you ever felt dissatisfied in your heart?"

"In the beginning, my ambition was not in Chang'an."

"However, later I also wanted to understand that I was born in the emperor's family, and since I was young, I have enjoyed a lot of food and clothing. Since I have enjoyed it, I have to bear the responsibility. Among the princes, I am the best, so I will naturally bear it! So I No more complaints!"

"My brother's illness, in my opinion, is mostly a heart disease, caused by a debt to us"

"Mother, go and see Big Brother!"

Greetings to Mr. Liu.

Empress Lu was silent for a long time, and finally got on crutches.

I don't know how long it has been since the Queen Mother had a good conversation with Liu Ying. After Liu Chang took over the important affairs, the relationship between mother and child eased, because Queen Lu no longer had any expectations of Liu Ying, but Liu Ying's many behaviors made the Queen Mother even more serious. In the end, she didn't even meet this son anymore, forbade him to come to see him, and didn't ask about his affairs. Even at family dinners, she didn't pay much attention to her son, just pretending that he didn't exist.

The queen mother is a strong person, and she looks down on indulgent people and weak behavior the most.

What's more, such a person is actually her own son.

When Liu Ying opened her eyes in a daze, she saw a familiar face.

"Mother?"

Liu Ying spoke softly, but tears fell down uncontrollably.

"Am I going to die?"

Empress Lu just looked at the son in front of her calmly. She probably couldn't tell how complicated her mood was at the moment. This was her first son. When he was born, Empress Lu was so happy that she promised She has so much ambition and longing for him. However, the older Liu Ying grows up, the worse the relationship between the two becomes. This child is neither like Liu Bang nor like herself. Her extremely weak character makes Lu Ying The latter is extremely shameless, disappointed, and hopeless.
Liu Chang didn't need to talk about it, she knew in her heart that Liu Ying's sexual indulgence was more to vent her grief and indignation.

But this is what made Empress Lu angry, man, how could he act so weakly?
Do you have to torment yourself so much just for this little thing?
Is this still my son? !
However, when she saw the dying son in front of her with her own eyes, she couldn't help stretching out her hand and gently stroking his hair.

"You should die after me."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to obey my orders."

"Mom. If I see my father, what should I say? What should I do?"

Liu Ying seemed to be a little frightened, and her whole body trembled. Empress Lu held his hand and said softly, "When you get better this time, stop drinking and sex, don't torment yourself anymore."

Liu Chang sat on his knees and looked at them, feeling a little depressed.

But Lu Lu hurried in and said something in Liu Chang's ear.

Liu Chang was taken aback, leaving the mother and son behind, and walked out of the hall by himself. Shentu Jia was standing outside the door. When he saw Liu Chang coming out, he couldn't wait to come forward to see him.

"Your Majesty!! Someone has reported on Chao Cuo!!"

"Chao Cuo said to the left and right that if the Supreme Emperor dies, several princes will come to the temple to worship, which will benefit the cutting of the feudal clan! There is a suspicion of cursing and killing the Supreme Emperor!!!"

At that moment, Shentujia felt the astonishing killing intent erupting from the face of the emperor in front of him.
