Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 146
Liu Chang had just returned to the palace, and the familiar valet surrounded him again.

Liu Chang looked at them with a look of helplessness.

"Why this time? Guanhou found that his bow was missing?"

"No."

"Is that General Xiahou coming to complain?"

"No."

"Marquis of Wuyang?"

"No? Then I didn't do anything wrong. What happened? Could it be that someone was killed again?"

The attendants shook their heads and brought Chang Liu to the Xuan chamber hall. On the way, Chang Liu seriously thought about what he had done. People came to invite me, my father was gone, but Liu Chang's hatred of Xuan Shi Hall did not end. Liu Ying got into a bad habit, and she would pull Liu Chang into Xuan Shi Hall and beat him at every turn.

In fact, Liu Ying beat him very lightly. Liu Chang was not afraid of him beating, but he was afraid that he would reason. After Liu Ying finished the fight, he would spend a few hours to reason with Liu Chang. Liu Chang couldn't stand it at all. It's not as good as grandfather. After the fight, it's all right. It's not like Liu Ying.

Of course, Liu Chang has grown up now. He just passed his tenth birthday not long ago, and his height has increased sharply. He is almost as tall as Empress Lu. Liu Ying can't beat his ass anymore, usually a thug. Only Empress Lu persisted in spanking Liu Chang's ass. Liu Chang also protested, "I'm so old, why do I still spank?"

Empress Lu scolded: "Don't say you are only ten years old, you are in your twenties or thirties, I want to fight and fight!"

Liu Chang shrank his neck and had to accept his fate.Even a widow worthy king, don't care about the female class!
In the hall of oath, Liu Ying was not alone, but the old configuration. The ministers sat on both sides of Liu Chang and stared at him attentively. Liu Chang smiled and greeted Liu Ying, carelessly, completely disregarding etiquette, "Second brother! ", Shusun Tong frowned slightly and reminded: "It should be called Your Majesty."

Liu Chang looked at him proudly, "When my father was there, I just called my father, why didn't you dare to persuade him?"

Uncle Suntong was speechless for a moment.

Liu Ying didn't care about Liu Chang's name at all. Now several of his younger brothers call him Your Majesty, even the eldest sister. Only this younger brother, as always, is still very happy.

"Eldest brother, I heard that there was a Hu trader in horses, but you were taken to Tang country. Is this true?"

"The widow has never seen any Hushang."

"Oh, that's alright, go back."

"okay!"

Liu Chang turned around and was about to leave, Cao Can stood up tremblingly with a dark face, and shouted, "Hold on! A few days ago, the guards of the city saw King Tang send the Hu merchant to Tang, why don't they dare to do so now? admit it?"

"Oh? Cao Xiang is talking about my friend, I let him go to Taiyuan, how?"

Cao Can roared angrily: "The big man lacks horses! The northern army is even more lacking! Whenever a Hu merchant comes, the northern army should first select it, and then buy it from the princes. Now the king of Tang has all the horses for himself, what is the world? Is there such a thing?!"

"Cao Thief! That's what I did, what can you do?!"

"What's the use of you wanting a war horse? Are you using it to decorate the facade of the Northern Army? Tang Guo faces the Xiongnu, what do I want a war horse for? Isn't it so that you people can sit here and talk nonsense? If Tang Guo is broken, you want the north What is the army doing? Without the Great Wall to defend, let the northern army take you to escape to the south?!"

Liu Chang did not give in, he was furious and his voice was so loud that Cao Can was even more angry.

"Even if there is something wrong with Tang Guo, you should notify the ministers first!"

"I informed, I told Father Zhong very early that it was Father Zhong who sent me to Tang." Liu Chang pointed to Chen Ping and said.

Chen Ping's face twitched, "When am I?"

"Yes, Father Zhong, I can't let you take responsibility. This matter has nothing to do with Father Zhong, it's my own opinion! What do you want?"

Seeing that Chang Liu was about to start with the ministers, Liu Ying hurriedly said: "Eldest brother, forget it, forget it. Chen Hou told me about this, but I forgot."

But Liu Chang didn't want to let it go. He sat directly on the ground and shouted loudly: "My Tang country is so miserable, and the people are struggling to survive. In order to defend against the Huns, do you know how tired the widows are? Ah? I even went out this time. Four times the amount of supplies to buy those war horses, my country, Tang, is already poor, so I don’t know how many people will starve to death!”

"The people of the Tang Dynasty!! I'm sorry for the widowers!!"

Liu Chang howled, "In order to protect the temple, I have used all the supplies of the Tang Kingdom to exchange for war horses, and now I have to suffer such a humiliation, how hard it is for me, the people of the Tang Dynasty!"

Seeing Liu Changgui crying and howling, Liu Ying reluctantly looked at Cao Can, "Cao Xiang, why don't you?"

Cao Can's face was dark. He didn't understand what the emperor meant. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, don't be deceived by this Shuzi. The Tang country is much richer than the imperial court. Zhang Cang's servant is also shameless. The supplies of the temple are never returned. The court urged several times to ask for food, he pretended to be, and even called a group of old people to mourning, which scared all our officials away.”

"In my life, I have never seen such a state minister. He is so stubborn. With dozens of granaries piled up with grain, he still has to reach out to the temple to beg for food."

"fart!"

Liu Chang scolded: "My teacher is Xunzi himself. Do you look down on Xunzi? You dare to say that Xunzi is shameless?"

Seeing that Liu Chang was about to knock on such a big hat, Cao Can looked at him disdainfully and said, "Who doesn't respect Xunzi? It's just that his disciples are really disgusting."

Although in the end, Liu Chang couldn't ask the temple to reimburse the supplies, but the ministers were no longer willing to pay attention to him, especially Cao Can. He put his foot on his ass and told him to get out. I didn't care, rubbed my butt, and left Xuan Shi Hall with a smile.

After he left, Cao Can said: "Tang State is close to Yuezhi, and it is even more facing the Xiongnu. I think it is possible to divide Beidi County into two, and give the upper half to Tang State, so that Tang State can better communicate with Yue. If you are in contact with the clan, the big Han must have allies outside the Great Wall, even more so in the Tang Kingdom."

Hearing Cao Can's words, Zhou Bo shook his head and said, "Tang State is too powerful to be like this."

"No, now, the stronger Tang country is, the better, the big Han is not the opponent of the Xiongnu. Tang country must bear all the pressure. Although Zhang Cang is shameless, he managed Tang country very well, and he even repelled the Xiongnu. Several times of looting, now the Huns are no longer deadlocked with the state of Yan, and Modun has also noticed the state of Tang. Modun is a man with a long-term vision. He will never allow the state of Tang to develop with peace of mind. Cone, he will definitely shoot."

Liu Ying looked at Cao Can in surprise and said, "I thought the Prime Minister hated Tang Wang very much."

"I hate him very much. However, among the lords and kings of the great Han today, he is the only one who can resist the Xiongnu. He has this ability and such courage. Besides, although King Tang is stubborn, he is very kind to His Majesty. Get close, don't worry about Tang Guo getting bigger. But"

"but what?"

"I'm afraid that after a hundred years, the Tang Kingdom will become a big problem for temples."

Cao Can's words made the faces of the ministers change greatly. Everyone understands and can naturally see all the hidden dangers of the vassal state. Today's Liu Chang is loyal, but what about his son?What about his grandson?But no one dared to mention this kind of thing, if it is not good, it will become a brother of discord. If there is a real chaos, the person who proposed will definitely be slaughtered by the emperor as a scapegoat. Although the emperor today is kind, the emperor can There are also unkind ministers around.

Liu Ying's face also became unsightly, the ministers bowed their heads, only Cao Can, not the slightest fear.

He said seriously: "However, now that the Huns are powerful, Modun is the real confidant of the big Han. Before he has the strength to contain this serious problem, other things can be ignored."

When Liu Chang returned to Jiaofang Hall, there were many people in the hall.

Empress Lu, one of Lu Shi's family, including his wife and son, as well as Fan Kuai's family, even Lu Chan came.

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Chong, Lu Lu, Fan Mr. and Fan City people hurried over and gathered around Liu Chang, chattering. Liu Chang led them and greeted his uncle and aunt with a smile, and then led the child. They sat down.

It can be seen that Empress Lu is still quite happy, although she still has a straight face, she is no longer as cold as before.

Lu Shizhi brought a lot of mutton, and everyone gathered to eat. The adults sat on top, and Lu Shizhi was smiling and talking to Empress Lu.

Fan Qing held the mutton bone in her hand. The meat was too big to start with. Just as she was frowning, Liu Chang smiled and stretched out his hand. Fan Qing handed the mutton to her suspiciously, and Liu Chang grabbed the bone. On both sides of the meat, he suddenly exerted force, "click", he handed the separated half of the meat to Fan Qing, and took the other piece and ate it himself.

The inside of the Jiaofang Hall instantly became extremely quiet.

Lu Shizhi and Fan Kuai all looked at Liu Chang who was gobbling down a bit in amazement.

Empress Lu was not surprised, and urged: "Go ahead and talk."

"Ah? Where did you just say it?"

Lu Shizhi couldn't remember a little. He looked at Liu Chang and asked, "What's going on with this Shuzi? Was it the same way when Marquis Wuyang was young?"

Fan Kuai hesitated for a moment before shaking his head.

"The family is poor. Although he also eats meat, he was not so strong when he was young."
