Chapter 627 Liu Chan
Five years of Jian'an
Changan
Three winters have passed, and the Han Dynasty is still cold as it enters early spring. This coldness invades the East Palace located on the east side of the Weiyang Palace.

However, inside the East Palace, there was a warm and peaceful atmosphere. The smokeless coals in the several stoves continued to burn, splashing out orange flames, completely repelling the incoming cold, and gradually warming up the huge palace.

Liu Chan did not feel happy despite the warmth. He lowered his head and made a bitter face.

"Your Highness, don't lower your head. Please look up at me. It is me who is teaching you, not the table."

The deep voice hit him in the face, and Liu Chan was startled and raised his head quickly. Looking at the frown on the crown prince's tutor's face, he resolutely admitted his fault, "Teacher Yi, it's my fault."

The Taifu's surname was Yi, his given name was Ji, and his courtesy name was Jibo. He was from Shanyang County, Yanzhou. He was highly regarded by my brother and my father.
The moment he finished speaking, Liu Chan quietly raised his eyes and glanced at the Prince's tutor. Seeing that Yi Ji's frown did not relax, Liu Chan did not even dare to breathe, maintaining the same posture as before without daring to move.

Suddenly, a heavenly sound rang in Liu Chan's ears. He turned around quickly and saw Liu Xie walking towards him majestically. He felt like he had seen a savior and expressed deep admiration for Liu Xie.

While Liu Xie was speaking, he winked at Liu Chan and said, "Haha, Brother Adou, I'm here to save you from the dire straits!"
"Hey, Master Yi, why are you silent? I guess I didn't disturb Master Yi's lecture, did I?"

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Alright, alright, no need to be so polite. I have something to ask you, Ah Dou. Today, Master Yi's lecture ends here. You can go back first!"

Liu Chan was about to leave as if he had been pardoned. As soon as he stood up, Yi Ji's words echoed behind him like a leech.

"Your Highness, please copy it ten times as punishment. Don't forget it."

Liu Chan shuddered suddenly. His tutor was extremely strict with him. If he was distracted in class, he would be punished to copy the rules ten times. Ten times in total!

Liu Xie couldn't bear to watch it any longer. He cleared his throat and said, "Master Yi, I think ten punishments is too much. Let's just forget it."

"This..." Yi Ji was a little embarrassed. He walked to Liu Xie's side and said in a low voice: "This is a rule set by the Regent, Shangshu Ling and other wise ministers."

Liu Xie suddenly stopped laughing. Facing Liu Chan's expectant gaze, he looked aside with a guilty conscience and said dryly something that he himself did not quite believe, "This punishment has to be copied."

The light in Liu Chan's eyes dimmed. He knew that there were some things that even his brother, the emperor, was powerless to do. Since he was three or four years old, he was woken up before dawn. There were twelve hours in a day, three hours for literature, three hours for science, two hours for martial arts, and four hours for bed. He only had one day off on the Cold Food Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Spring Festival, the birthdays of the emperor, his parents, and himself. The days of rest could be counted on one hand.

If Liu Xie had not secretly taken him out of the palace from time to time, he would not have known that there were so many new things on Chang'an Street, nor that there were many poor people around Chang'an City who could not afford to eat.

When I thought about how I was only suffering from the pain of studying while those people were suffering from hunger, I felt really sad.

Think again about the idea of ​​being lazy just now.
Liu Chan felt a little guilty again. In order not to worry Liu Xie, he pretended to be calm and said, "Brother Huang, if I am wrong, I must be punished. I am willing to do so."

Liu Xie:.
Willingly?

Adou, oh Adou, do you think I can't hear it?

Liu Xie stepped forward and patted Liu Chan on the shoulder. "I do have something important to do today. Ah Dou, you can leave the palace with me openly this time. You go back to the Prince of Yan's Mansion first. There is no rush for other things."

After saying this, Liu Xie pulled Yi Ji's sleeve, pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "Master Yi, I really don't know why you are so harsh on a child. Every time I take Adou out of the palace, I take Adou to a fake poor village near Chang'an. Adou always sympathizes with the poor and says he will share his food with them. Isn't it enough to prove that Adou is as kind as the previous emperor? Why be so harsh? Don't you think I am a good emperor?"

In Liu Xie's view, the shadow of Liu Bian can be seen everywhere in Liu Chan, who is simply the reincarnation of Liu Bian.

"." Yi Ji sighed, "Your Majesty, the crown prince is the foundation of the country. Your Highness loves the people, but to become a wise ruler like the late emperor, it is not only about loving the people, but also about working hard that ordinary people cannot."

Yi Ji's words touched Liu Xie's heart. He felt from the bottom of his heart that his brother was the wisest emperor in the world. If his brother were resurrected, he would probably work as hard as he did for the people. Liu Xie didn't say much in the end, but only sighed.

Prince of Yan's Mansion

"Mom!"

As soon as he returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, Liu Chan threw himself into Madam Mi's arms.

Mrs. Mi patted Liu Chan's back lovingly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I will have someone prepare some meat for you."

A light shout interrupted Mrs. Mi's words, "Adou!"

Liu Chan shrank back into Madam Mi's arms. Madam Mi looked up at the person who came, and it was none other than Liu Bei's first wife, Madam Gan.

Madam Gan looked at Madam Mi helplessly, with a hint of blame in her words, "Sister, you are too indulgent to Adou. It is the time when the Grand Tutor is giving a lecture, and Adou actually showed up in the Prince of Yan's Mansion. You should ask him the reason first, instead of eating meat."

"Sister, I believe in Adou. Adou is not the kind of student who skips school. He should take a break because of his heavy workload."

"Alas," Mrs. Gan looked helpless, with a look that said, "Just listen to me, sister."

Mrs. Mi asked softly, "Why did Ah Dou come back so early today?"

"Yes, my brother the Emperor said he had something important to tell me, so he asked me to come back first."

After hearing this reply, Mrs. Mi looked at Mrs. Gan, smiling as if to say, "Sister, you see, I was right."

Mrs. Gan nodded repeatedly, as if to say, "Yes, yes, my sister is right."

At this time, the family official Lai Min came to report: "Madam Gan, Madam Mi, Your Highness, the second general, the third general, and the son of General Zhao have all arrived one after another."

Madam Gan and Madam Mi nodded to show that they understood. Madam Mi patted Liu Chan and said, "Adou, go play with the brothers."

"Ah."

Liu Chan reluctantly left Madam Mi's warm embrace, looked at Madam Gan with some fear, and ran quickly towards the door.

Only Madam Mi and Madam Gan were left in the hall. Madam Mi sighed, "Sister, why did you persuade the emperor's uncle to be strict with Adou? I really can't bear to see Adou bear such great pressure at such a young age."

Mrs. Gan smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, I carried Ah Dou for ten months and gave birth to him. If Ah Dou is sad, I am sad too. If Ah Dou is upset, I am upset too. I am also heartbroken."

"Then you, sister."

Mrs. Gan, who had been silent for a long time, closed her eyes, her long and thin eyebrows slightly frowned, as if expressing her inner uneasiness.

"I am afraid that people in the future will say that I am a hopeless person."
