Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Chapter 134 Liu Bang takes decisive action!

For several days, Liu Bang carefully cultivated Liu Ying, and the concubines in the harem couldn't sit still.

Mrs. Qi appeared in Changle Palace personally carrying food, accompanied by a five-year-old child.

"Hurry up and salute your father." Madam Qi reached out to rub Liu Ruyi's head and urged softly.

Liu Ruyi knelt down obediently and said, "My son, I have met my father."

He was very cute and talkative at a young age. He was usually lively and active, and was deeply loved by Liu Bang.

"Ruyi, come here." Putting down the memorial in his hand, Liu Bang smiled kindly and waved to him.

There was some regret in my heart that Liu Ruyi was too young to start training.

Mrs. Yu put the food on the table and said, "Your Majesty, you have been busy with political affairs recently. I miss you but I don't dare to come over."

Liu Bang picked up Liu Ruyi and sat on his lap, and said with a smile, "Next time Ruyi misses me, just ask him to come over. This Changle Palace is enough for him to run around."

Hearing this, Mrs. Qi's eyes lit up, "With your Majesty's words, I feel relieved."

"I know what you are thinking. Ruyi and Liu Ying are both my sons, and they will receive the same training. You don't have to worry." After looking at her, Liu Bang reassured her.

Liu Bang knew clearly what Queen Lu's temperament was.

After Liu Ying takes the throne, Empress Lu will never let Mrs. Qi go, and Liu Ruyi will inevitably die.

Liu Bang pinched Liu Ruyi's little face, his face darkened, "Don't ask too much about what I do. You can stay in the palace with peace of mind, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless."

He wants a peaceful concubine, not a careerist.

Madam Qi hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, I understand!"

……

Jimo ancient city.

After resting for several days, Xiao Ran was really bored, so he ran to visit Queen Ma.

Because Queen Ma and Queen Changsun often met, they happened to be drinking tea and chatting when Xiao Ran went there.

"Auntie, what delicious food did you cook today?" Xiao Ran sat down directly and reached for the pastries on the table.

Empress Ma smiled and pushed the cakes in front of Xiao Ran, "Today we are making common tea snacks in our palace. If you like them, eat more. I will make them for you next time."

"Thank you, auntie." Xiao Ran thanked him cheerfully.

Empress Changsun looked at Xiao Ran as if she were a junior in her family, with loving eyes, "Has the matter of the big man we went to been resolved before?"

"The order has been completed a long time ago, and Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty also agreed to join the company."

"When things are settled on his side, I plan to talk to him about the position again."

Xiao Ran took a sip of tea and said.

Queen Ma and Queen Changsun looked at each other, a little confused.

"The Huns have retreated, what else does the Han need to solve?"

They also knew that Liu Bang later bought weapons.

Xiao Ran smiled and said: "There are quite a lot of things. The son of Han Taizu died after seven years of reign, and Han Taizu's queen, Empress Lu, took control of the government."

"So fast! Was he killed?" Queen Ma was surprised.

Empress Changsun did have some knowledge of the Han Dynasty. "Historical records record that Han Hui Emperor Liu Ying, the son of Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty, died of illness, and his seven-year reign was very short."

"Then Taizu of the Han Dynasty planned to treat Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty? Then why didn't he bring him here?" Queen Ma felt sorry that the young child died of illness like this.

Xiao Ran shook his head, "I'm afraid Taizu of the Han Dynasty would not want to treat Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty."

"Why? Isn't that his son?" Queen Ma and Queen Changsun both frowned.

Queen Changsun was silent for a moment, and then said with some speculation, "Could it be that Taizu of the Han Dynasty wanted to support Liu Ruyi to ascend the throne?"

"It should be that the relationship between Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty and Empress Lu was not deep. As they grew older, Empress Lu lost the favor of Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty."

"Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty had a rough childhood. He was injured and had a weak temperament. Liu Bang didn't like him either."

"Liu Bang loved Liu Ruyi, the son of Mrs. Qi, and wanted to re-establish the crown prince several times. If Empress Lu and the court ministers hadn't blocked it, I'm afraid it would have been Liu Ruyi who ascended the throne."

"But now that Taizu of the Han Dynasty knew Empress Lu's ambitions in advance, there were two ways he could take it. One was to kill Empress Lu directly and replace him with the prince. The other was to train the prince to secretly weaken Empress Lu's power and leave a way out for Mrs. Qi, mother and son. .”

Xiao Ran briefly analyzed what Liu Bang would do.

What he said happened to be exactly what Liu Bang thought.

Queen Ma sighed, "Both of these methods will lead to Queen Lu's death. I would like to see what kind of person this Queen Lu is."

"Me too. From ancient times to the present, Empress Lu is the first queen to hold power as a daughter." Empress Changsun is worthy of meeting Empress Ma late and has the same idea.

Queen Lu did not make any big mistakes when she was in power. The biggest criticism in the history books was that Queen Lu murdered King Xin of Han and Liu Bang's heirs.

"We remembered that there is a record that Empress Lu made Mrs. Qi into a human pig. Is this true or false?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who didn't know when he appeared, asked curiously.

"Really, but speaking of it, Mrs. Qi would not have ended up like this." Xiao Ran answered in the affirmative.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, "Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, how could Empress Lu let her go? Although this ending is cruel, it is understandable."

"This is about the love Taizu of the Han Dynasty had for Liu Ruyi."

"Liu Ruyi was very smart after she was born. Compared with Liu Ying, she is more suitable for teaching and training."

"It's a pity that Mrs. Qi's family background is not low, but no one is willing to join her. That's why Liu Ruyi failed to become the prince."

"But no matter what, Taizu of the Han Dynasty really loved Liu Ruyi and named him King Zhao. He also gave him the fiefdom early and prepared a way out for Mrs. Qi and Liu Ruyi."

"The problem was that Mrs. Qi fought for the position of prince several times and completely offended Empress Lu. Finally, after several years of imprisonment, Liu Ruyi was killed and Mrs. Qi died of torture."

Empress Ma lamented, "Mrs. Qi was so favored during the lifetime of Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty, but she ended up with a tragic end."

The emperor's favor made Mrs. Qi overestimate her own strength, completely forgetting that Empress Lu was the head wife who accompanied Taizu of Han Dynasty to conquer the world.

"Fortunately, we are single-minded and have only one queen." Zhu Yuanzhang was a little proud when he said this, and even took the initiative to hold Queen Ma's hand.

Empress Ma smiled and shook her hand, "Chongba."

Xiao Ran felt uncomfortable all over, "Uncle, why don't you go and do your business, disturbing my aunt and I from having tea!"

Unexpectedly, I had to eat two mouthfuls of dog food while chatting.

Empress Changsun looked at Xiao Ran and changed the subject, "The Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty did not like Empress Lu, and before his death, he entrusted Empress Lu with the arrangements of some officials. Why is this?"

Xiao Ran explained, "Because Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty was weak in benevolence."

"In addition, the officials and ministers in the Han Dynasty were tyrannical, and they were basically the heroes who conquered the world with Han Taizu. Even if they were suppressed by Han Taizu in the later period, they were not something that the weak and benevolent Han Hui Emperor could control."

"At this time, Queen Lu's strong tactics were very suitable for assisting Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, so Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty was not happy with Queen Lu, but he did not replace her."

When Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty came to power, without the assistance of Empress Lu, the Han Dynasty would have been in serious trouble.

After a pause, Xiao Ran sighed, "Being weak has the advantage of being weak. When Empress Lu wanted to kill Liu Ruyi, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty personally protected her. Although he could not save her, he still tried his best."

"Mrs. Qi was imprisoned, and Empress Lu summoned King Zhao Liu Ruyi back to the capital. In order to save King Zhao, Zhao Xiang Jianping Hou Zhou Chang claimed that King Zhao was ill. He also stated that Taizu of the Han Dynasty had entrusted King Zhao to him and that King Zhao could not be allowed to die in the hands of Empress Lu. "

"These words directly angered Empress Lu and she wanted to kill King Zhao immediately. After Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty found out, he personally went to the fiefdom to pick up King Zhao and bring him to the capital. They ate and lived with him in order not to give Empress Lu a chance."

"The king of Zhao, Liu Ruyi, was eleven years old. He was killed in the palace by Empress Lu because he failed to get up early in time to be alone."

Empress Ma couldn't bear it, "Queen Lu is too cruel, she can kill an eleven-year-old child."

"Mrs. Qi is imprisoned, and the eleven-year-old King Zhao has no chance to ascend the throne. If you are not worried, you can just put it under house arrest for the rest of your life." Even the Changsun Queen, who was originally curious about Queen Lu, sighed. Zhu Yuanzhang thought that there was no problem in eradicating the weeds. "Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty died after seven years of life. If King Zhao was still alive, he would have become emperor directly. Empress Lu acted decisively, and we also appreciate it."

"Xiaoran, can you take us to meet Empress Lu?" Empress Changsun still wanted to meet her.

Xiao Ran nodded, "Of course, let's go, I'm going to see how Han Taizu plans to solve this problem."

……

Changle Palace.

Liu Ruyi grabbed the cake and fed it to Liu Bang and forced it into his mouth.

Several figures suddenly appeared in the hall.

Seeing Xiao Ran and Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bang stood up with Liu Ruyi in his arms.

"Why are you here?"

Empress Ma said gently: "Empress Changsun and I would like to come and meet Empress Lu."

Liu Bang showed hesitation.

Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward carelessly, "Taizu of the Han Dynasty, no matter what Empress Lu says, she will conquer the world with you. Don't you want to know if she has any ambitions now?"

This sentence touched Liu Bang's mind.

"I asked her to come over." Liu Bang asked the palace servants to summon Empress Lu and drive away other palace servants in the palace.

Five-year-old Liu Ruyi looked cute, her eyes rolled slightly, and she struggled to get off the ground.

He jogged and stopped in front of Xiao Ran, "Eat!"

"This kid is smart and knows who is the most important here." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and knelt down to pinch Liu Ruyi's face.

Queen Ma and Queen Changsun looked at Liu Ruyi tenderly.

Not wanting to eat the pastry that the child had been holding for a long time, Xiao Ran took out the candy and stuffed it into Liu Ruyi's hand, "Here's this for you, you can eat the pastry yourself."

The palace people sent a message to Empress Lu to go to Changle Palace, and Mrs. Qi also got the news.

After Xiao Ran and the others took their seats, the palace servants quickly entered the palace.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, the Queen, and Madam Qi are all outside the palace."

Liu Bang glanced at Xiao Ran and others, and said angrily, "Let them come in."

He warned Mrs. Qi not to act rashly, but she came to Changle Palace as soon as she got the news.

Three figures slowly entered the hall.

Queen Lu walked dignifiedly and was full of momentum. Even when she saw Xiao Ran and others, their expressions did not change.

Liu Ying, who was following her closely, lowered her head and did not dare to look at Liu Bang.

The last Mrs. Qi was thin and beautiful, and she couldn't hide her surprise.

"His Majesty."

"Father."

Liu Bang glanced at the three of them indifferently, "Sit down."

In front of outsiders, Empress Lu consciously sat next to Liu Bang, and then asked, "Your Majesty, why did you ask me to come here?"

"Queen, you have been fighting with me for so many years, have you ever thought about me sitting on the dragon's throne?" Liu Bang said Wang Zha.

Xiao Ran almost choked on his saliva.

Is this a temptation? It's all about death!
Even Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. Taizu of the Han Dynasty was planning to kill Empress Lu today!
The hands of Queen Ma and Queen Changsun holding tea trembled slightly.

Queen Lu was shocked, "Your Majesty, I have never had any intention of exceeding the rules! I have been married to Your Majesty for many years, why does Your Majesty doubt me?"

She wanted her son to ascend the throne, but she never thought about sitting in that position herself.

Mrs. Qi next to her almost screamed in surprise, there was a hint of excitement in her eyes.

If the queen covets the throne, it will be a serious crime against the three clans.

Liu Bang looked majestic, "I want you to write a promise. If you have such ambitions in the future, hang yourself immediately. Do you dare?"

"Your Majesty, I can write a letter of promise, but I want your Majesty to also leave a legacy. The throne must be for my son Liu Ying!"

Even at the critical moment of life and death, Empress Lu still boldly asked. She looked directly at Liu Bang without any fear.

Even if she couldn't leave Changle Palace today, she would still fight for the throne for Liu Ying.

Madam Qi immediately said, "Queen, the prince is weak, so it is better for him to cultivate his moral character."

Snapped!
"Bitch! Who do you think you are! It's your turn to speak here!" Queen Lu was ready to die and did not hesitate to take action.

Almost in the blink of an eye, five fingerprints appeared on Mrs. Qi's face.

Liu Bang's face darkened, "You are so bold! Lu Zhi, you are so bold, you dare to do it in front of me!"

Immediately kneeling on the ground, Empress Lu said loudly, "Your Majesty, even if I die today, I will never allow the throne to be handed over to others!"

"My concubine and Ying'er followed the expedition and suffered a lot. They went through many hardships in the Chu camp. Only my son Liu Ying is the orthodox member of the Han Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, you want me to die. This is all I want. Even if Ying'er is weak, he will still be the crown prince you personally canonized."

Every word is a struggle for power. Empress Lu not only mentioned Liu Bang's debt back then, but also mentioned Liu Ying's physical weakness.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma looked at each other in tacit understanding, with admiration for Empress Lu in their eyes.

In terms of means and scheming, Mrs. Qi lost too much.

Xiao Ran couldn't help but admire how courageous Empress Lu was when faced with a dead end problem.

When Liu Bang was being pursued, he tried to abandon his wife and children several times, which was criticized by others.

It is precisely because of this incident that Liu Bang still owes Liu Ying a bit.

"Your Majesty, if you are young, you can teach me. I also want to..." Mrs. Qi, whose cheeks were red and swollen, was unwilling to give in. She also knelt on the ground and followed Empress Lu's example in fighting for power.

"Shut up!"

Liu Bang scolded sternly, with a flash of disgust in his eyes, "You have no business to speak in this matter."

He deeply felt that Mrs. Qi was too stupid to see the situation clearly.

Even if he was worried about Empress Lu seizing the throne, he had to admit that Empress Lu was more suitable to be the empress dowager than Mrs. Qi.

"Queen, there is no need to talk about what happened back then. The throne of the prince will not change."

"However, the queen cannot harm any of my heirs, and she has requested to stay in the palace. The green lantern will always accompany her in the palace, and she cannot see anyone else except the prince."

Liu Bang couldn't kill Empress Lu yet.

The atmosphere in the palace was heavy, Liu Ying's eyes were red, but she did not dare to speak out for Empress Lu.

Empress Lu took a deep look at Liu Bang and kowtowed heavily, "I respectfully respect the Holy Will."

"Someone, take the queen back to the palace."

Liu Bang gave an order and the palace people took away Queen Lu.

Mrs. Qi sat slumped on the ground, "Your Majesty, why can't it be Ruyi?"

"Take Madam Qi down and confine her. From today on, Madam Qi and the Queen are not allowed to leave the palace even half a step."
