Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 18 The New Storm
"Father and mother have reconciled. I heard the second brother say that the royal family is harmonious, the world can be harmonious, the couples in the royal family are living well, and the couples in the world will not quarrel."

"I also sacrificed my wish for the peace of the world, and let my father live in the Jiaofang Palace for three days."

"That's why you want to live with me?"

Han Xin's face darkened as he looked at Chang Liu, who was kneeling in front of him with a serious face.

"Master, Grandpa said he doesn't want to see me again, where can I go? I can only live here with you."

"But I don't agree."

"If Master doesn't take him in, then I can only live outside. Would you have the heart to see me, a well-behaved child who just sacrificed himself for the world, living on the road?"

"I bear it."

Despite Han Xin's reluctance, Liu Chang still moved in, which made Han Xin's teeth itch with anger. Han Xin made three chapters with him. First, he was not allowed to touch his book collection. Second, he was not allowed to pester himself. One plant and one tree, not even poultry.

However, Liu Chang obviously did not have the honesty and honesty in the bones of the old Qin people, and the three chapters of the law could not suppress his nonsense temperament, but it was only a temporary tolerance, and the trouble was still necessary.

That night, Han Xin and Liu Chang had dinner together for the first time, and Liu Chang devoured it. Han Xin's food here was really good, even better than the one in the palace. There was no shortage of meat, and he was probably taking care of this prince. The dinner this time was richer than ever, and there was a lot of fruit.

Han Xin was eating and looking at Liu Chang who was eating so much in front of him, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you regret it at all?"

"Regret what?"

"Since Your Majesty has promised to fulfill your three wishes in front of everyone, he will not break the contract if you say anything."

"Yes what's the matter?"

"You could have obtained greater benefits from that spinning wheel, instead of sending cars and clothes to a group of Qianshou, letting a group of small officials go home, and letting His Majesty live in the Jiaofang Hall, what's the use to you?"

"Those Qian leaders and little officials will not know that their gifts are from you. They will only be grateful to Your Majesty. As for Empress Lu, she will never value you more because of this."

Han Xin sneered and said, "You miscalculated. In the end, you got nothing."

Liu Chang was a little surprised, he shook his head and said, "I don't lack anything else, those craftsmen are really pitiful, those stones are bigger than themselves, I don't know how they can hold them. , Those people in Shangfangtai, they are actually good people, they have not seen their family members for three or four years.

"You are real."

With a look of disdain on his face, Han Xin shook his head and said, "You could have obtained greater benefits from this machine."

"Ah? What's the benefit?"

"For example. Going further."

"I will be a prince when I grow up, how can I go further? Oh.. Master means the crown prince?"

"Yes, it's the crown prince position, or even that position."

Han Xin suddenly got closer and asked in a low voice, "Have you not thought about this?"

"I thought about it when I was bored, but then I stopped thinking about it."

Liu Chang's answer was very casual. He bit the meat and said casually: "It's not a good thing to be a prince. I have to attend classes every day, and people are watching every move. When I look at the second brother, I always feel that he is very pitiful. He can't do what he wants to do all day long."

"I come to visit my mother and father at a fixed time every day. Even when I eat, there are people watching. If I eat too much, I will reprimand it, saying that I am wasting food. Oh, if the prince eats more food, will the world be punished? Are you starving?"

"Second brother doesn't dare to speak at will, and every word is careful. My brothers are very kind to me, but when they see the second brother, they have to call the prince and salute. They don't look like brothers at all. Many people They are all by his side, everyone is telling the truth, I don't think the second brother is doing better than me."

"I don't know what the emperor is like, but when I looked at the second brother, I felt that the emperor must be more difficult than the prince."

"What's more, I'm very happy now, I can eat what I want, do whatever I want, and everyone treats me very well, except for how I feel, being a prince and an emperor requires skills, the second brother knows better than me I read a lot, I read a lot of books, in fact, my brothers are like this."

"Even Ruyi knows more than me. I don't know how to govern the country at all, and I'm not interested in this. I just hope that I can grow up early, and then I want to invite the best people to be me in my vassal state. The prime minister of the country, leave everything to him, I will go to various places to play by myself, and by the way, I will invent some new machines, how wonderful."

"By the way, why don't you come and be the prime minister for me, Master?"

"Master?"

"Master??"

Liu Chang spoke several times, and Han Xin finally woke up. His expression was a little strange, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Han Xin slowly raised his head and stared into Liu Chang's eyes, as if trying to tell whether what he said was the truth or not. Liu Chang also looked at Han Xin in surprise, blinking his big eyes, his eyes were very clear and did not flinch. , and there is no haze, Han Xin believed.

"You know. Actually, you are quite suitable to be an emperor."

"what??"

Liu Chang was stunned, "Master? Are you not drinking well?"

"You are not greedy for power, you can delegate power, you will also trust your ministers, and you will not make random guesses!! You will not put them in a prison cart indiscriminately!! It's like treating a beast!!!!", Han Xin's face flushed, roaring angrily.

But in an instant, he calmed down again and said in a low voice: "Also, you are very kind, and you are a stranger who can help you regardless of return, and who has no effect on you."

"Master. Don't scare me."

Han Xin stood up abruptly and shouted, "What else to eat! Follow me to the study! Let's continue learning the art of war!"

"Ah? But the study time has passed."

"Learn when I say it! Get me up! I'll teach you from scratch!"

"I don't study! I'm going back to the palace! Master! I'm going back to the palace now~~~"

Liu Chang didn't know what kind of stimulation the teacher was getting. From that night, Han Xin began to teach frantically. This time, it was no longer a simple question. Han Xin took out a thick book from the inner room. Bamboo slip, blowing the dust off his head, he started teaching according to the content on the bamboo slip.

The first lesson was a special mobile battle. Han Xin took Bai Qi as an example, talked about the many wars that Bai Qi had launched, and asked Liu Chang to stand in the perspective of Bai Qi's opponents and find a way to break Bai Qi's mobile warfare. In this regard, Liu Chang said, is this really the basis of the art of war you said? ? ?
Han Xin said resolutely: "This is the most basic and simple thing. Every general in the big Han, even the middle and low-level generals, knows these things. If you can't even learn this, you can only be a soldier. !!"

Liu Chang had no choice but to grit his teeth and start learning these "basic" tactics. When he found out that the teacher was lying to him, it was many, many years later.

If it weren't for the bad news from the palace, I'm afraid that Liu Chang's nightmare would continue, but although this bad news liberated Liu Chang, it didn't make him happy, because the eldest father passed away.

In the middle of the night in an ordinary autumn, the eldest mother suddenly woke up, and after waking up, she burst into tears.

Because she didn't hear the thunderous snoring from her wife.

She had listened to this snoring for a long time, from disgust when she first got married, to accustomed to it, to the point where she could not sleep without the snoring.But just when she was fully acquainted with the snoring, the snoring disappeared.

Liu Bang was woken up by the eunuchs. For the first time, the eunuchs saw this majestic, do whatever he wanted, as if he didn't care about anything, fell off the bed, and rushed out of the hall crying.Liu Bang hugged the old lady and cried, Empress Lu and the concubines stood not far away, Empress Lu wept silently, but the rest of the concubines seemed to be holding a crying contest, one voice overshadowed the other, all trying to find a way Make your cry a little louder.

Of course, the princes also want to cry, although they are not close to the eldest father on weekdays.

Liu Chang, the only one who was particularly close to his eldest father, seemed to have experienced a nightmare.

Of course, the most painful thing should be the old lady who has been with the old lady all her life. However, the pain of the old lady did not last long. On the third day after the old lady passed away, the old lady curled up alone on the bed and slept forever.

The death of the old lady was like throwing a boulder into the water that was not very calm before, causing layers of ripples.

All the vassals, kings and important officials received orders from Liu Bang to come to Chang'an to bid farewell to the Emperor Taishang in person.

ps: rub, I didn’t expect that this chapter is actually the embarrassing turn of the Spring Festival. I thought it would be earlier, maybe I was a little bit watery in front of me. Hey, anyway, I wish everyone a happy new year, good health, and home. All the best!
