Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 17 Three Wishes
Before Liu Chang could ask Fan Kuai more, he was kicked out by Han Xin. The two of them seemed to have important things to discuss.

After Liu Chang left Han Xin's mansion, he felt that this incident was a bit outrageous.

Although Grandpa did treat Han Xin very well, and even allowed him, a former traitor, to visit his friends freely in the capital, but this does not mean that other princes and kings can come to visit Han Xin, it is one thing that Han Xin takes the initiative to visit , but taking the initiative to visit Han Xin is another matter.

Is Fan Kuai really not afraid of causing Papa's jealousy?Maybe he was simply sent by his grandfather?
Liu Chang pondered this matter, and after returning to the Jiaofang Palace, he naturally told his mother about Fan Kuai's affairs.

But what Liu Chang didn't expect was that Empress Lu was not surprised. She interrupted Liu Chang's long speech and coldly instructed: "You must not talk about this matter."

Although Empress Lu didn't say anything more threatening this time, Chang Liu was still frightened. After all, Empress Lu spoke very seriously this time, and he knew very early what would happen if he angered his mother.

Liu Bang has two hobbies on weekdays, one is to hold banquets with his family, and the other is to hold banquets with friends.

Therefore, today is definitely Liu Bang's happiest day, because today's banquet includes his family and friends.

When Empress Lv led Liu Changshan to be late, Liu Chang was surprised to find that this banquet was completely different from the previous one. It was no longer the family gathering together as before. Liu Bang sat on the main seat, and the two groups of people were separated. Kneeling on both sides of him, his expression was serious and he looked more solemn.

On the left side of Liu Bang, there were many people who Liu Chang did not know. Among them, there were only three people he knew. One was the man he bumped into at the Changxin Hall. He seemed to be Zhou Chang or something. One is his master Han Xin, and the last one is Fan Kuai.

Han Xin was still smiling and talking to the person beside him, but the moment he saw Liu Chang come in, the smile on his face disappeared, his face was dark, and he turned his head away, pretending that he didn't see that person. Silly boy.

On the right side of Liu Bang, they were all acquaintances. Mrs. Qi didn't come today, neither did the eldest father and mother, just the princes, the second brother, Ruyi, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother, who were seated in order of age. On Liu Bang's right side, all of them looked serious and lowered their heads slightly, expressing their respect for a group of founding ministers.

But this atmosphere was destroyed after Liu Chang arrived.

"Master! You are here!"

"Master! I'm here!"

Liu Chang waved his hand vigorously, Han Xin gritted his teeth in pain, and the man who seemed to be very kind and amiable couldn't help laughing, and even patted Han Xin's shoulder lightly.Liu Chang felt that the status of this person must be very high, because he had never seen any minister who dared to treat Han Xin like this.

Empress Lu was sitting beside Liu Bang, but Chang Liu could only sit at the end of the table.

Because the youngest son Liu Jian is still a baby, therefore, Liu Chang can only sit in the last seat who made him the youngest.

Liu Chang sat in his seat and looked at Liu You next to him, "You are here too."

"Ah."

"Why did Dad suddenly set up a banquet? Why didn't you eat?"

Liu You was trembling and didn't know how to reply. Liu Hui, who was sitting on the other side of him, winked at Liu Chang and shook his head again, telling him to stop talking.

After everyone arrived, the ministers stood up, and the kind uncle at the head began to say some "toast words" that were vaguely understood. Liu Chang thought that they were probably toast words. For a long time, Liu Bang was drinking with the ministers, but here, only Liu Ying was qualified to get up and drink.

This was the first time that Chang Liu hated the banquet. There was no delicious food, and he couldn't mess around with his brothers. It was as if he was listening to a song. Just when Chang Liu was about to fall asleep, a few soldiers came in from outside the hall. When Liu Chang looked at what they were holding, he immediately became happy. Isn't this the textile machine I made? ?
Is today's banquet just to reward me?

Liu Chang rarely guessed right.

In fact, Liu Bang had already shown the textile machine in the court meeting. During the court meeting, Liu Bang boasted that it was specially made by his youngest son for the sake of the world. Incomplete, but also have such thoughts.

This stubborn son was blown to the sky in his words. Although Liu Bang did not say it in front of Liu Chang, he was indeed very proud as a father and proud of his son's shocking achievement. Of course, he did not forget to put gold on his face. , According to his statement, Liu Chang can have such a benevolent heart and such a hands-on ability, thanks to his father.

As for why he was so stubborn, that was his mother's problem.

Because Liu Chang was too young, Liu Bang decided to hold a big banquet, which could also be used to reward Liu Chang for his contributions. By the way, he could brag in front of his friends. After all, there was no need to be so restrained at the banquet.Although Liu Bang was never polite in court meetings, he used swear words, and occasionally told a dirty joke. The scalps of several Confucian doctors were numb, the hands of the historians were trembling, and their teeth were gnashing. Labor and management write history, not small Huangwen. Yes.

"Long! Come here!"

This seems to be the first time Liu Bang called his name instead of Shuzi.

Liu Chang jumped up abruptly, walked quickly to Liu Bang's side, Liu Bang also stood up, pointed at Liu Chang, and said, "Even one of my youngest sons has a big heart, and if you want to benefit the world, you must work even harder! "

"only!"

The banquet finally officially started, someone brought delicious food, some musicians were playing, the ministers were talking, and Liu Bang laughed and drank with them.Liu Chang was pulled aside by Liu Ying, and it could be seen that Liu Ying was really happy.

"Brother! You did a great job!"

"Mo Tzu said: In ancient times, when people did not know what they were wearing, their clothes were covered with water, and in winter they were not light and warm, and in summer they were not light and sullen. The sage king thought that he did not like people's feelings, so he pretended to teach women to treat silk and hemp. , The cloth and silk are considered as people's clothing. As the method of clothing, in winter, when you practice silk, it is light and warm enough. Fits the body and the skin, and that's enough."

"From this point of view, a person who can serve as the clothes for the world can be called a holy king. My brother will definitely be such a holy king in the future!"

Liu Ying started a long speech again. Liu Chang was confused and couldn't understand what he was talking about. He only understood that the other party was complimenting him, so he gave a polite smile to express his gratitude.

Every time Liu Ying tortured Liu Chang, she would be rewarded, and this time was no exception. Liu Ying took off a piece of jade from her waist. The jade was given to Liu Chang.

After a round of torture, Liu Chang hurriedly fled and returned to his brothers while Liu Ying went to chat with the ministers.

"Ha, benefit the country and the people~~"

Liu Chang squinted at Liu Ruyi and said loudly.

"It's just a small way. The descendants of the royal family can govern the world by their own abilities. Compared with the upright and upright acts of benevolence, you are just a small way. , will cause more damage than your current small achievements."

Liu Ruyi said disdainfully.

Liu Chang's first reaction was whether to report to his father. Father is so happy now. If he hears Liu Ruyi's remarks, Liu Ruyi must be beaten too, right?
Liu Ruyi noticed Liu Chang's look at Liu Bang, and suddenly reached out and dragged him aside.

"You're still pretty good. Well, pretty awesome"

After Liu Ruyi was subdued, Liu Chang showed off to Liu Heng and Liu Hui in turn. Liu Heng nodded calmly, while Liu Hui gave a gift. He couldn't afford a gift like Liu Ying, so he could only give it to Liu There is a wooden man the size of a slap. The wooden man is very realistic and looks like a majestic general.Liu Chang liked it very much, even more than Liu Ying's gift.

Next, he naturally wanted to show off to his master.

Han Xin pretended not to see him all the time, and deliberately chatted with the people around him, but when Liu Chang came up to him, staring at him with big eyes, Han Xin couldn't turn a blind eye, he turned around , I don't know why, seeing Liu Chang like this makes him inexplicably angry, can't you be serious? ?
But there are many people here, and the self-cultivation of the scholar-officials restricts him from getting angry.

"Master, I didn't lie to you, I made that machine!!"

"It's really good, good boy." Han Xin smirked, gently performing filial piety with Liu Chang.

Liu Bang was really happy, and soon, he was drunk, he pulled Liu Chang, and shouted: "I can't give you a title, but I can promise you one thing, no matter what. , just say it!"

Liu Chang hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Can three things work?"

"Well! Come on! You want me to slaughter a cow for you? Or do I want to demolish my new pavilion? Even if you don't want to study, you can! Anything is fine!"

"Anything is fine?"

"Come on!"

At the building of Changle Palace, donkey carts slowly came here, and a man who looked like an official stood on the cart and shouted: "Your Majesty's gift! I specially sent carts and horses to help you transport the stones! This cart is on the way. There are also some meat and clothes, come and collect them one by one!"

A group of craftsmen in ragged clothes looked at the armored soldiers who were driving in fear. When they heard the words of the high official, they fell to their knees on the ground in an instant, wailing loudly, "Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! !"

Several carriages were slowly driving out of Chang'an. On the carriages, a group of craftsmen who belonged to the Shaofu Shangfangfu excitedly held letters from their family members. They finally got a four-month vacation. Years later, they were allowed to go home and meet their families, wiping away tears and laughing and crying.

In the Jiaofang Hall, Liu Bang sat awkwardly in front of Empress Lu.

"Jiaofangdian was originally my residence, is it necessary for Shuzi to let me stay here for three days?"

Empress Lu had a cold face and said nothing.

Liu Bang just laughed.
