Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 12 The Prince of Benevolence and Righteousness
"Master, is your hand saw useless?"

"No, it will run out soon, and I will deliver it when the time comes."

Liu Chang couldn't understand their words. The words they said sounded a little sharp, and the tone was always up. Liu Chang could hear a few words, but at most that was the case.However, Liu Heng was able to communicate with these people normally, even using their accent to chat.

Those who don't know can't hear that the accent is actually the fourth son of Liu Bang's family.

For some reason, Liu Chang suddenly had an admiration for Liu Hengsheng, this guy is really amazing.

Liu Heng chatted with them cordially. Chang Liu had almost never seen Liu Heng like this. On weekdays, Liu Heng was always silent, kept his face straight, and was very serious, but in front of these people, Liu Heng behaved like this. It's very cordial, it's not a deliberate enthusiasm, it's a kind of closeness when chatting with a good friend.

Liu Chang tugged on Liu Heng's sleeve, and Liu Heng remembered the little brother beside him.

"This is my seventh brother, the son-in-law."

Liu Heng introduced Liu Chang to them.

The faces of these craftsmen changed drastically, their smiles disappeared instantly, their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Liu Chang, and their behavior became restrained. Several craftsmen knelt directly on the ground and bowed to Liu Changxing. , This kind of respect different from Liu Heng did not make him feel happy.

They seem to respect themselves so much, but after seeing their attitude towards Liu Heng just now, Chang Liu felt that it was just fake respect. , treat the other party as a friend you are willing to be close to, rather than a high-ranking master.

People rarely stab friends, but too many masters die at the hands of their slaves.

Liu Chang got the tools he needed, ruler, planer, and file. Although he didn't have an axe, he was able to start making it.

However, after leaving here, Liu Chang was not so happy, and his emotions were rather heavy.

"Brother. Is Father a benevolent Son of Heaven?"

"Yes."

"Then why did he treat those people like this? Why didn't he give them a carriage if they were not well-dressed?"

"Do you know how many craftsmen built Changle Palace?"

"do not know."

"Thousands of people."

"Father didn't starve them, and gave them time to rest. They only need to suffer for a few months after the busy farming season. This is already a great gift."

"Is this a gift?"

"Of course, do you know how many people built the Great Wall back then?"

"It should be a lot"

"Most of them had to bring their own food, and they didn't have much time to rest. During the second period of Qin Dynasty, construction was carried out all year round, and they couldn't go home because of the busy farming season. The farmland was abandoned. When they ran out of food, they could only do Get a little bit of food and refill it with shoddy food. They wear shackles and live in the wild. The soldiers will kill the people who can't work at any time. Think about it now, is your father a benevolent and righteous emperor?"

"Yes."

This time, Liu Chang finally did not hesitate. If compared to the past, Liu Bang was indeed regarded as a rare benevolent emperor. To build a palace for himself, he only launched tens of thousands of corvés to give food and drink. It will not delay the work of farming, nor will it kill people indiscriminately.

"But... I still think they're having a bad time."

"It's not just them who have had a bad time."

Liu Heng didn't talk about this issue with Liu Chang again, and said goodbye to him calmly, but before leaving, Liu Heng stared into his eyes and said solemnly: "When you become a prince in the future, don't forget I saw this scene today."

Liu Chang froze in place, watching Liu Heng drift away.

He suddenly felt that perhaps this elder brother was more suitable for the day than Liu Ying, but unfortunately, the fourth elder brother was not the eldest son.

Back in the Jiaofang Hall, with all the tools, Liu Chang started to build the spinning wheel. Because the design drawings had been prepared before, it was much more convenient when he started to make these parts. The rack is made.

He found the wood he had hidden. Most of the wood was square, and he didn't even need Liu Chang to do other processing. It could be used. Because there were no nails, he could only stabilize the rack by mortise and tenon.

Tenon and tenon is easy to say, but if you don't know woodworking, it is really difficult to do. Liu Chang never did tenon and tenon in his previous life. The previous assembly failed due to measurement and wood problems. fall apart.Because there is no advanced machine, everything has to be done by Liu Chang himself. It took Liu Chang a long time to make the tenon and mortise.

He worked harder than before, probably because he had seen the things the craftsmen wore, and the rags were vivid in his mind.

Just when Liu Chang made the frame and began to assemble the internal parts, Liu Bang was ready for the apprenticeship ceremony.

In this era, the ceremony of apprenticeship is called Shuxiu, and it is usually ten pieces of jerky. In order to show respect, Liu Bang specially prepared some other things. It's for your teacher!Don't steal it, you bastard! !

Chang Liu is very dissatisfied, am I that kind of person?
Liu Chang finally left the palace. This was his first time leaving the palace. He also became the fourth prince to leave the palace besides Liu Fei, Liu Ying, and Liu Ruyi.Sitting on the carriage, Liu Chang was very curious about everything, but unfortunately, the situation outside the palace was no different from that inside the palace.

There was a bleak everywhere, no one could be seen, the gray and white buildings cut off everything, and Han Xin's mansion was too close to the palace, Liu Chang didn't even see anyone before he came to Han Xin's mansion, Han Xin already knew After hearing the news, he sent a servant to greet the prince.

The apprenticeship ceremony was not as complicated as Liu Chang thought.

It's just a simple kneeling bow, offering a bundle of repairs, the teacher nods, and that's it.

Liu Chang was very curious about his teacher. In the past, he admired Han Xin more, but after Empress Lv's remarks, he was a little afraid of Han Xin again. He really knew little about the future. In this way, he also knew that Liu Bang killed the hero.

It seems that Han Xin was executed by Liu Bang.

Liu Chang didn't know what Han Xin had done, but he knew that Father was not a person who liked to kill people indiscriminately.From other people, Liu Chang has already learned a lot about Han Xin. Han Xin is indeed very famous in Dahan, and his brothers know him well.

However, they were half worshipping and half disdain for Han Xin.

Liu Ruyi once told Liu Chang face to face that Han Xin was just a failed traitor.

From Liu Ruyi's mouth, Liu Chang just learned that Han Xin turned out to be the king of Chu, which was inconceivable in Liu Chang's mind. Isn't the king of Chu Xiang Yu? ?Han Xin, the king of Chu, didn't do it for too long. After he became the king of Chu, he began to train military horses, hoard food, and make friends.
Liu Bang couldn't sit still, Han Xin had a criminal record.

When Liu Bang was fighting against Xiang Yu, he was beaten by Xiang Yu and ran around. At that time, Han Xin was on the same ground and won one after another. So Liu Bang asked Han Xin for help and ordered him to come to the rescue. Han Xin sent an envoy.

Han Xin's messenger told Liu Bang that Han Xin could come to the rescue, but you must make Han Xin a false king.

Liu Bang was furious, and in front of Han Xin's messenger, he scolded: "Han Xin, Shuzi, I'm trapped here, and he doesn't save me, so he wants to be a fake king?"

When Chen Ping heard this, he immediately kicked Liu Bang with his toes.

Liu Bang hurriedly changed his tone and scolded: "Han Xin is too unmotivated! If a gentleman has calmed down the princes, then he should be a real king, why should he be a fake king!!"

This incident kept Liu Bang brooding. Later, when Liu Bang ascended the throne and named Han Xin the king of Chu, he soon realized that Han Xin had unruly thoughts, so Liu Bang asked Chen Ping for advice and asked if he should send troops to attack Han Xin.

Liu Chang felt that at that time Chen Ping must have wanted to scold: crusade against Han Xin?Does Your Majesty have some comparisons in your heart? ?
However, Chen Ping still did not scold, he just asked calmly: "Is your army stronger than Han Xin's?"

"Who among your generals can beat Han Xin?"

Then Liu Bang shut up and started asking if there was a safe way.

Chen Ping gave him a plan of Yunmengze, and asked Liu Bang to pretend to be Yunmengze, to meet various princes in Chenzhou.Chenzhou was in the western border of Chu, and Han Xin heard that the Son of Heaven was traveling and came to his territory again, so he came to visit him. When he visited Liu Bang, Liu Bang directly sent someone to tie him up and take him back.

In this way, without a single soldier, Liu Bang captured Han Xin and dismissed his King of Chu on the charge of treason, and renamed him Marquis of Huaiyin.

Even so, Liu Bang didn't kill him, and he would end up with future troubles. Speaking of which, Liu Bang was really not a murderer. As far as Han Xin's actions were concerned, any other monarch would probably be killed.

Therefore, Liu Chang felt that Han Xin would be executed by Liu Bang, and he must have done something important later that caused Liu Bang to kill him.
