Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 158 Who does His Majesty want to kill?
"This time against the Huns, Qi has mobilized the most soldiers and made a lot of contributions. It seems that King Qi has managed Qi well."

"Returning to the Queen Mother, this is all the work of Prime Minister Cao. If it weren't for Prime Minister Cao, Qi State would not have recovered so quickly."

Liu Fei answered respectfully.

But Liu Ying smiled and said, "Mother, it's rare for my brother to come back once. We can discuss state affairs at court time. Why didn't my son-in-law come?"

"He originally pestered me to come with me, but I dismissed a lot of generals in Qi. I was afraid that there would be turmoil in the country, so I kept him."

A few people chatted, and the atmosphere was the same as always.

But Liu Chang keenly felt the difference. He was just immersed in the joy of his brother's return. He never noticed that at this moment, he could see some sullenness on his mother's face. Empress Lu was stern all day. Face, what she was thinking, few people knew, but Liu Chang stayed by Grandma's side all day long, and when he saw the story, he could see Grandma's mood at a glance, and it wasn't as calm as she showed at the moment.

Liu Chang looked at the elder brother sitting in the upper position, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

The valet brought wine, bowed his head, and stood in front of the crowd.

Liu Ying didn't notice the difference at all. At this moment, he said happily: "Now I also have a child. Hahaha, I can't say how happy I was at the beginning, and I really love it. No matter how busy I am now, I have to visit at least ten times a day”

"Hahaha, it's okay now, when the child grows up a little, you won't think so! The daughter is still good, the son is too noisy!"

Liu Chang said displeasedly: "My son is very good, and he rarely cries on weekdays!"

"You were good at the beginning. You were held by your grandmother all day, and you didn't cry. Aren't you quite noisy now?"

Liu Fei said with a smile, Liu Fei was Liu Bang's illegitimate child, and he had this child before marrying Empress Lv. Liu Fei had a very big age gap with the other children, and he basically watched them grow up. Liu Bang was busy with state affairs, and the princes after Liu Ying were basically brought up by Liu Fei, not like a big brother, but like their grandfather.

Although Liu Fei is older, but because of his status, he is not taken seriously, so he is not timid and generous, a bit like Liu Chang's fifth brother Liu Hui, but he is not as fat as Liu Hui.

The two brothers immediately began to talk about the embarrassing events of Liu Chang's childhood, and they chatted with gusto.

"When he was a child, he liked to play with Ruyi the most. Ruyi liked to build cities in the dirt. This fellow walked over and staggered over the city, making Ruyi cry."

"Hahaha, yes, I remembered, did he even pull out the beard of the eldest father?"

"Yes, my grandfather hugged him excitedly and put him on his shoulders. This guy urinated on my grandfather's body, causing my grandfather to curse!"

"Hahaha, yes, my father didn't have time to change his clothes at the time, so he went to court in that suit. The ministers asked, and he also said that the ministers who were attacked by assassins were almost scared to death!"

"Once I looked at him in the palace, and just squinted for a while, he completely ruined my mother's double-layer nine-child lacquer make-up, imitating my mother's appearance, putting all the fat, ze, pink, dai, and incense. I used it for myself, hahaha, I also know how to put on my lips and eyebrows!"

"When my mother came back, she beat me up without saying a word. How wronged I am that I was beaten for doing nothing." Liu Fei shook his head and laughed.

Liu Chang was furious. He looked at Empress Lu and called out, "Mother, look at them!"

Empress Lu's face softened a little, and she glanced at Liu Chang, "They are telling the truth. The makeup that your grandfather gave me was originally my most precious thing, but you destroyed it."

"I'll pay, I'll be fine if I don't pay!"

Liu Chang muttered.

"Brother, Qi Guo's sending [-] troops this time won't have much impact on the country, will it?"

"Don't worry, Qi State can currently recruit 20 soldiers. As long as the time is not long, it will not have too much impact on the country!"

Liu Fei happily talked about the development of Qi State, with a little smugness on his face. In these years, Cao Can has indeed managed Qi State well. He was willing to delegate power to the ministers, and adopted the method of inaction, which made Qi's national strength recover quickly, and it has begun to approach the manpower and material resources of the Warring States Period.

Liu Fei was very happy, but Empress Lu's face became more and more gloomy.

Liu Chang angrily almost scolded.

"Mum. I'm a little sick. I've eaten too much, take me to rest."

"You go to the doctor yourself."

Empress Lu said coldly, but Liu Ying and Liu Fei hurriedly looked at Liu Chang, "eldest brother? Abdominal pain?"

"It's okay. I've had enough."

Empress Lu stood up slowly, looked at the valet in front of her, and said coldly, "King Qi has come from a long way to make a toast for me."

Liu Fei got up in a hurry and was about to toast the Queen Mother.

"Okay, King Qi! How dare you be so rude when you become a king!?!"

Liu Chang roared violently.

Liu Fei looked at Liu Chang in surprise, Liu Ying was about to speak, but Liu Chang got up and kicked the valet in front of him. Want to drink?! How can you be worthy of my grandfather?!"

Immediately, Liu Chang glared fiercely at Liu Fei and scolded: "I respect you as your elder brother, you sit in the upper seat, and I don't care, but you actually want to drink during the mourning period?! Young?!"

"You think I don't dare to beat you when you're older, don't you? I know the truth as a child, but you don't understand, right?!"

Liu Chang rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward to dry the rack.

Liu Ying was furious, pushed Liu Chang away, and roared angrily: "Shuzi!! Daring! The eldest brother is the father! How dare you do this?!"

Liu Fei stared blankly at the younger brother in front of him. For a while, he was full of grief and anger, and he couldn't say anything. He was silent for a long time.

Liu Ying eagerly chased after him.

Liu Chang looked at them angrily, and then looked at Empress Lu, "Mother! They deceive people too much!"

Empress Lu just watched the two brothers go away calmly, and then she said coldly, "Doing both hard and soft. Are you determined to help outsiders come against me?"

The anger on Liu Chang's face disappeared immediately, and his appearance became calm.

"Mother, if one day, King Qi has to die, then I will do it myself. I have been reprimanded for murdering my relatives and have been spurned by future generations. It doesn't matter. I don't care. But I absolutely cannot let my mother bear such a bad name."

"My mother is the mother of the Han Dynasty. The mother is in the world. There is only one villain in this big Han, and that is me, Chang Liu!"

"Mom, when do you want me to do it?"

Empress Lu trembled all over, pursed her lips, turned around and walked into the inner room without answering.

Liu Fei returned to his residence, looking desolate. Liu Chang's words caused him great harm. After he was crowned king, his relationship with several other brothers became cold. Only Liu Chang, with him The most close, he treats Liu Chang as his own child, and loves him extremely, but today, the person he treats as his son insults him face to face and wants to do something to him.

Liu Fei sat lonely, staring blankly ahead.

"Do you think I dare not beat you?!"

Liu Chang angrily waving his fists kept appearing in front of him.

"Brother~~ Ruyi won't let me hit him~~"

Little Liu Chang stretched out his hands, and the appearance of crying in front of him kept appearing in front of him.

Several pictures kept appearing in front of him, Liu Fei only felt that his mood was getting heavier and he shook his head bitterly. In the future, he would not need to come to Chang'an anymore. Now, he really has nothing in Chang'an. close relatives
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"

The accompanying counselor whispered, and Liu Fei woke up with a start, his eyes were a little wet, but he still squeezed out a smile, "Nei Shi. It's okay to be alone."

"I think the king is very sad. Could it be that the emperor is to blame?"

"no."

The counselor asked again and again, Liu Fei finally told the counselor what happened today, and the counselor was horrified.

Liu Fei looked at him suspiciously, "What? It's His Majesty who wants me"

The counselor trembled, "Your Majesty, even if His Majesty resigns, you can't really accept it."

"Although you are old, you are still a minister of the Son of Heaven. When the previous emperor was alive, your eldest father used to worship him with the courtesy of a minister. Do you want to be the emperor?"

Liu Fei was shocked and suddenly realized.

"You know, if it wasn't for King Tang, you would have died in Jiaofang Palace today."

"what?!"

The same scene also happened in Ganquan Palace.

When Empress Cao saw the unhappy emperor, she also asked the reason.

"Oh, Liu Chang, you don't know, brother is here today."

Liu Ying told the queen all what had happened, and then said angrily: "Brother always treats him as his own child. Before this Shuzi was looking for people to beg, my brother followed him quietly. Meeting those princes and kings, begging many times, not hesitate to donate the material resources of Qi State, so that Tang State can get so many things."

"I said earlier that I want to make Chang the king. The elder brother made a presentation in person, and wanted to divide the Qi country into the most affluent place, and let my father seal it to Liu Chang, and take care of him personally. Liu Chang is the most disrespectful to his brother in the world. people!"

Liu Ying's words became more and more excited, but Empress Cao pondered.

She asked helplessly, "Does your majesty want to kill King Qi?"

Liu Ying was shocked, "What do you mean?!"

"Your Majesty. You are now the co-lord of the world. Even in private, how can you let King Qi walk with you and let King Qi sit on the top? Isn't this forcing the ministers to kill King Qi?"

"How could it be in private."

"What about in private? In public and private, you are the emperor, don't you think you are not the emperor if you don't wear a crown?"

"If the ministers learn about this, will King Qi still be alive?"

Liu Ying understood a little, and he asked again: "Then Liu Chang can also say it directly, why is it so rude?"

Empress Cao was silent for a moment, her face was a little hesitant, she gritted her teeth and said, "If it was urgent, would King Qi be in danger of death at that time?"

"How can this be." Liu Ying only said a few words, and the whole person became stiff in an instant. He seemed to be frozen, his hands trembled slightly, "I am." Liu Ying was dumbfounded, he suddenly Shaking his head, "No."

Seeing that the Son of Heaven finally woke up, Empress Cao looked at him helplessly.

"I'm going to the Jiaofang Palace!"

Liu Ying abruptly got up, and Empress Cao asked bitterly, "Does your majesty want to kill me?"

"This!"

Liu Ying was completely speechless and sat blankly in front of Empress Cao.

"Why?"

Liu Ying's eyes were red, and he never thought that his mother actually wanted to attack her brother. Although he was not born to her, he called her mother. How could she bear to do it? The queen said seriously: "Your Majesty has a good heart, this is the blessing of the people of the world."

"After you ascended the throne, you continued to reduce taxes, no longer use corvée, and the officials were clean and clear. Even the construction of the Weiyang Palace was stopped by you. The people all over the world are grateful to you."

"It's just that this is unfortunate for your close relatives."

"If Your Majesty really wants them to live peacefully, you must learn to be a wicked person and maintain the majesty of an emperor just like the previous emperor. When the late emperor joked with people, no one was more kind than him, but if the previous emperor was angry , no one is afraid of the ministers"

Liu Chang sat on the steps in front of the pavilion, holding his chin with both hands, and looked up at Xingyue blankly.

Suddenly, someone put clothes on him.

Liu Chang turned his head, and Liu Ying sat beside him.

"Why did your brother come here too?"

"Can't fall asleep. I came here to walk around, how about you?"

"I was so tired that I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

The two brothers fell silent and sat here quietly.

It was Liu Chang who broke the silence first. "Actually, I came out to take refuge. I was afraid that you would go to Jiaofangdian and nag. I didn't expect that you would still be caught."

Liu Ying smiled, raised her head, and looked at the full moon.

"Eldest brother, I misunderstood you. I'm sorry, I scolded you today."

"Brother, the Son of Heaven cannot admit wrongdoing to the princes and kings."

"But the second brother can secretly confess to the seventh brother, right?"

Liu Chang didn't speak, but Liu Ying slowly grabbed his hand, "eldest brother, in the future, don't pretend to be a villain for me again, I will change myself, no matter what, I will never let you bear a bad name. Everything has me"

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Liu Ying a few times, "My sister-in-law is quite smart!"

"how do you know?"

"Second brother, don't blame me for speaking straight. If no one wakes up, you will probably have to wait until Liu Xiang hugs his grandson if you want to figure it out."

"Then maybe someone else came to wake up?"

"It's almost night, who wants to die, and come to the palace to offer advice at night?"

"The eldest brother is getting smarter and smarter."

"I'm not like you."

"You're saying I'm stupid"

"It's not stupid, it's just too simple and kind. Too stupid and you always call me Shuzi."

Liu Ying smiled and rubbed Liu Chang's head, "Insulting the emperor is a death penalty!"

"I even scolded my grandfather, but he didn't execute me! Today I was really mad at me, I reminded me like that, all kinds of efforts, you two idiots, you just don't understand, if I were better than you Older, I really have to hang you up and beat you. I just hate me for being young!"

Liu Ying smiled bitterly, he hesitated for a moment, and asked: "I have to do something, eldest brother, the court officials are arguing all day long and arguing about everything, only Prime Minister Cao can restrain them. Do you have any questions? any solution?"

Liu Chang's eyes lit up, "Oh, brother, are you asking me for advice?"

"Yes."

"You should have asked a long time ago! Who am I, Liu Chang? I and Liu Hou are believers, and we keep in touch with each other. Even Liu Hou is full of praise for my wisdom. It's really a waste to be a prince and a prince for such a talented person! Since the elder brother asked, then I will offer a solution for the elder brother!"

"Brother... tomorrow is the time of the court meeting."

Liu Chang spoke in a low voice, Liu Ying's eyes widened, she listened carefully, nodding her head from time to time.

"Eldest brother, would it be too much to do this?"

"Hey, brother, just listen to me. If you don't give them a memory, you can't stop them!"

At dawn the next day, King Qi came to the Xuanshi Hall. He respectfully met the Son of Heaven and gave a big salute, without the slightest smugness on his face.

Seeing him like this, Liu Ying didn't help him, but just had a cold face.

"King Qi! I heard that you want to drink alcohol during mourning? Is it true?"

Liu Fei was stunned for a while, but fortunately, he quickly figured it out and hurriedly apologized to the emperor.

"As the leader of the princes, you shouldn't have made such a mistake. I thought that you were discouraged and never did anything wrong. I will not punish you much, and I will make you bow down for three days before going to my grandfather's spiritual seat! Sincerely apologize! Do you know? ?!"

Liu Ying asked seriously.

Liu Fei confessed his guilt again, and then bowed his head and left the Xuanshi Hall.

The attendants around were stunned. Looking at Liu Ying's appearance, they were stunned. If they didn't see him for a day, how could the emperor have changed?Even King Qi will be punished? ?The news of King Qi's punishment was quickly revealed, causing everyone to be shocked.

When Empress Lu learned about this, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes, and then her eyes quickly fell on Liu Chang.

"Mum. Nei, I'm going to study. I'm a little busy today, so I might say goodbye later!"

When the ministers came to the court to discuss, they were also talking about this matter, and they all felt a little incredible. Isn't your majesty the most respectful king of Qi?Why suddenly punish King Qi?What's the situation? ?
When the ministers entered the palace and saw Liu Ying, the doubts in their hearts were even greater, because at this moment Liu Ying had a serious face and looked extraordinarily serious, which was completely different from the past.

The court discussion started normally, but just when we talked about the right to appoint, the group of ministers began to argue again. Some people supported the withdrawal of the appointment rights of all officials in the vassal state, while others insisted that only officials with a hundred stone or more should be withdrawn. Even if the officials did, of course there were objections, and they felt that it would take too much time and cause local government affairs to become chaotic.

The quarrel between the officials was lively, but this time, Liu Ying didn't say a word, just looked at them coldly.

Fan Kuai roared again, and Uncle Suntong warned him again not to roar in the palace. The two quarreled for a long time, but the emperor did not come to dissuade them. They were also confused. Why don't you try to dissuade me?Are we about to fight?

The ministers gradually quieted down, secretly looking at the superior emperor.

I saw Liu Ying look serious, but just looked at them indifferently, I don't know why. The ministers suddenly felt that the one sitting on the top was not Liu Ying, but the emperor. An uneasy mood enveloped the ministers, and everyone was low. He nodded without saying a word.

"Noisy. Go ahead. Why don't you make noise?"

Liu Ying spoke coldly, and the ministers were even more afraid to speak.

"Come on!"

Liu Ying gave an order, and suddenly a soldier rushed into the hall, Liu Ying said: "Throw the weapons to them!"

The soldiers threw their weapons on the ground, and Liu Ying said coldly, "Don't just quarrel, come, take your weapons, and kill each other. Whoever survives will listen to whoever's advice and hold them all. !!"

"His Majesty!!!"

The ministers suddenly knelt in front of Liu Ying.

"I said, take your weapons and fight each other, otherwise, I will pull you all out and behead them!"

"Don't you think of my hall as a battlefield? Well, I will let you do as you wish!!"

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!!!"

The crowd knelt down again.

Liu Ying looked at everyone coldly, her eyes finally fell on Fan Kuai's body, she secretly said sorry in her heart, and then said loudly: "Wuyang Hou roaring at the temple, come here, drag it out, stick fifty!!!"

The ministers were horrified.

ps: The event has already started, welcome everyone to the lucky draw!I just smoked once, my hands are black, and I have drawn dozens of experience points.
