Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 185 The Change of Chang'an
Liu Ying looked at Liu Chang in front of her embarrassedly, "Didn't you say you won't be able to arrive in four or five days?"

"Oh, then why don't I go to Chang'an for four or five days, and then come back?"

Liu Ying cleared her throat, pulled Liu Chang to her side, and asked him to sit down, "eldest brother, did you endure hardship on the road?"

Liu Chang glanced at Liu Ying, "When my brother saw me, he didn't ask about the chaos in the vassal state, but asked me about the situation on the road. Why?"

"Uh, I made a slip of the tongue, what's going on in the country of Jing?"

"No, brother, do you still want to hide from me? Tell me, what happened in Chang'an?"

"Nothing happened."

Liu Ying shook her head, but her expression was a little sad, "The queen mother will definitely be waiting in the Jiaofang Hall, the eldest brother should go to visit the queen mother first."

"Second brother. Come with me!"

Liu Chang grabbed Liu Ying's arm, dragged him up, and walked towards the Jiaofang Palace, Liu Ying struggled hurriedly, "eldest brother, just go by yourself!", Liu Chang didn't let go at all, "I this time Come here, it's a family reunion! Is my brother reluctant to bear those beauties?!"

Liu Ying was helpless, and was dragged all the way to the Jiaofang Hall by Liu Chang.

"Mother~~~"

When Liu Chang smiled and rushed into the Jiaofang Hall, Empress Lv was sitting on his knees not far away. There were a lot of playing sheets on the slips in front of him. Some of them had already been reviewed and some had not been opened. With such a howl, the playing watch in Empress Lu's hand almost flew away. She raised her head and looked at Liu Chang with a happy face. When she saw Liu Ying who came in later, her face calmed down again.

"Why did you come back so quickly? Didn't I let you hurry up in the spring?"

"Hey hey," Liu Chang smiled and walked to Empress Lv's side, grabbing her hand, "I miss my mother so much, so I'll be back soon!"

Empress Lu asked with a stern face, "You Shuzi, when you left, did I say that you were not allowed to do anything?!"

"Ah? Jibu does things so fast??"

"Your uncle just came here! He also said that you knocked down eight people, what's going on?! What does Guanying eat!"

Liu Chang grinned, "Mum, don't blame Guan Ying, he got a minor illness on the road, so I made my own decision, and I was attacked. Hundreds of soldiers surrounded me. Among hundreds of people, taking the country’s prime minister directly is like looking into a bag and taking things.”

"Okay, stop blowing!"

Empress Lu interrupted him rudely and asked, "Is Guanhou ill? Is it serious?"

"I don't know, do you want to send someone to invite him over?"

"Forget it, let him live and cultivate in the mansion for a few days, and I will visit by myself."

"Oh."

"Mother, I went to the southern country this time, so I didn't embarrass you. Along the way, officials came to pay homage everywhere, and there were a few women who pestered me and insisted on being Princess Tang. , therefore refused!"

Liu Chang chattered about the interesting things about going to Jing Kingdom. Liu Ying sat not far away, bowed his head, and said nothing.

Empress Lu also listened quietly without interrupting him.

At this moment, the cry of a baby suddenly came from the inner room.

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, stunned, what's the situation? ?

I saw a woman walking out with a baby in her arms, and greeted Liu Chang and Liu Ying with a smile. Liu Chang got up and saw that it was Xiang.

Liu Chang took him over with a smile, "Hey, why are you here? Are you here to greet me too?"

Seeing Father Zhong, the little guy stopped crying and grinned.

Liu Chang hugged the little guy and walked to Empress Lu's side, "Why is this guy here?"

Empress Lu narrowed her eyes and said, "The queen is very tired, so I will take him back to the Jiaofang Palace and raise him personally."

Liu Ying hesitated.

Liu Chang didn't even look at the faces of the two people. He returned the child to the woman with a smile, and sat beside Empress Lu, "Mom, after I leave, there's nothing major in the court, right?"

"No."

"It's fine if you don't."

Liu Chang nodded, then looked at Liu Ying, "Second brother, are you hungry, let's eat together!"

Empress Lu frowned and reminded: "Call the eldest brother."

Hearing this sentence, Liu Chang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I said it wrong, brother, let's have dinner together."

Liu Chang devoured his food quickly and violently, and Empress Lu gave him the meat from time to time.

"Brother, you eat too!"

"Ah."

Liu Ying also lowered her head and ate.

"Mom, the Jing Kingdom is in chaos. The ministers involved have all been brought back, and the generals in the army have also been cleared. You can send the county governor to govern it."

"Oh, I'm afraid the treasury of the Jing Kingdom is also empty, right?"

"Ah? The King of Chu is known for his reputation. Why would my mother suspect that he did such a thing?"

Empress Lu glanced at him and said nothing.

This meal did not have the atmosphere of the past. From the beginning to the end, Liu Ying had no communication with Empress Lu. After eating and drinking, Liu Ying hurriedly left the Jiaofang Palace.However, Liu Chang stayed and sat beside Empress Lu. Empress Lu lowered her head and continued to deal with the playing table in her hand.

"Mother. I'm a little tired all of a sudden."

After hearing Liu Chang's words, Empress Lu leaned back a little, and Empress Lv lay in her arms, Empress Lu gently stroked his back, "Don't think too much, eat well, drink enough, and talk to you more. Friends playing.. It's not your turn to think about the big things. Worry about it when you're older."

"Oh, when will I grow up? When will Grandma think I have grown up?"

"When you don't drool while you sleep."

"Huh?? Did I ever drool while sleeping?!"

The next day, just as Liu Chang walked out of the gate of the palace, he saw a group of people standing outside the palace. It was the sages who heard that the king was coming and hurried out to greet them.

"King!!!"

The sages shouted.

Zhou Shengzhi grabbed Liu Chang's hand, tears streaming down his face, "You are finally back, Your Majesty, when you were away, Marquis Jiancheng and Tingwei kept bullying us. We didn't even dare to go out of the mansion, we would be arrested if we went out. I almost suffocated to death in the palace!"

"Go back to the mansion and talk about it!"

Liu Chang led the group towards Tang Wangfu. The mighty group of people caused the passers-by to panic and avoid them. After hesitating for a long time, he didn't dare to go up and take people directly. After all, they haven't done anything yet.

And with the backbone, the sages also had the courage to look at the patrolling soldiers angrily, and rolled up their sleeves one after another, "Your Majesty, let's fight them!"

"Fart! Beating up the soldiers of the Southern Army, Chen Ping didn't take our skins?"

"Ah? Your Majesty, now Cao Cheng is in charge!"

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, then scolded: "Then what are you still doing?!"

When Qun Xian started to fight back angrily, the soldiers resolutely cowarded, not because they were afraid of being defeated, but because they were afraid of being able to defeat them.

Originally, when they arrested these people, these people didn't dare to resist. Now when Liu Chang comes back, these people will take revenge. Originally, these guys were only six or seven years old. All the ten-year-olds, the number of people is large, and the weapons are hidden, and the patrolling soldiers really dare not remain indifferent.

Sure enough, the day after Liu Chang returned to Chang'an, Luan Bu went to work.

"I will tell the queen mother. There will never be such a thing again. If there is any injury, I will compensate for it because I am not optimistic."

Luan Bu bowed his head and bowed his head to apologize to Tingwei's people. After much effort, he finally got the group led by Liu Chang out.

"Hahaha, Luan Sheren! Thanks to you!"

Qun Xian came forward to thank him one after another, but Luan Bu felt tired. He looked at Liu Chang, "Your Majesty, I heard that Tang Guo's affairs are so busy that it is better for me to return to Tang Guo first and help Zhang Xiang."

"Hey, Luan Bu, how can the widow be without you? The widow will have important things for you to help in the future!"

You must not have any more serious problems!

Luan Bu looked up at the moon again, but Liu Chang happily took his friends back to the Tang Palace.

"Your Majesty, this new Chang'an Order is really not a good person! He is harsh, Xuan Yi didn't arrest us, but this fellow is eager to arrest us!"

"Oh? The new Chang'an Lingcheng? Who is he?"

Chen Mai shook his head, "I don't know, I just heard that he used to be an official of Taishi in Taichang, and now he takes on this important responsibility. He often opposes us, and Shengzhi has been caught by him several times."

Liu Chang asked proudly, "Does this person not know the prestige of a widow?"

Zhou Shengzhi said angrily: "He really doesn't know. We have used the king to intimidate him many times, but he is not afraid, and he means to despise the king!"

Liu Chang was a little angry, "How dare a Chang'an order despise me? I must clean up him in the future. What's his name?"

"Eh, seems to be called Sima Xi?"

Back in the Tang Palace, Qun Xian, you told me what happened in Chang'an after Liu Chang left.

The first one was Lu Lu. He said seriously: "After the king left, my father didn't stay at home for more than half a month. My mother was in a panic, so let's go to Wuyang Hou's house for a while!"

"Yes, the two of them came to live at my house. My grandfather has been at home and never went out."

Fan Yan then said: "It's just that my father was very angry at the time. He beat me up because of a trivial matter. I don't know what happened."

From Qunxian's mouth, Liu Chang heard a lot of things, but it was very vague, and it really was the Queen Mother and Wang Ling who started.However, Wang Ling was not executed. The queen mother ordered him to be relieved of his post and let him serve as Taifu. Wang Ling resigned and returned home, and never went out again.

And there are also fewer ministers in the DPRK, and it is said to the outside world that he suddenly fell ill and died of a cold.These people were obviously the ministers who followed the royal mausoleum. There was a slight friction between the northern army and the southern army. The sages said that because of the uneven distribution of food between the two sides, all the generals involved were punished.

But Liu Chang knew that it was impossible for the North and South Army to have uneven distribution of food. Unless Xia Houying suffered from a brain disease, he would not have done such a thing. Obviously, this was because Wang Ling and his supporters were in the army. of hands were removed.

And the situation in the palace, Liu Chang is more familiar than the sages.

Empress Lu directly took over the power, and the performances were piled up in the Jiaofang Palace. Liu Xiang also lived in the Jiaofang Palace. Is the mother disappointed with her brother?Decided to skip the elder brother directly, teach Liu Xiang personally, and then pass the throne to him when he is older? ?
Or is it that the elder brother and Wang Ling attacked the mother together, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the mother. After the counterattack, he gained all the power and took Liu Xiang away to curb the power of the queen family?

It's a pity that no one can tell Liu Chang the real situation, who would dare?
And what can Liu Chang do in the face of such a situation?Helping my brother to take back the power from my mother?My mother raised herself with hard work and devoted everything to herself. Liu Chang thought that he could not do such a thing to deal with his mother. Alas, it is not necessarily a bad thing that state affairs are in the hands of my mother.

Although this is unfair to the elder brother, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the big man.

A mother's ability to govern is definitely ten times. a hundred times that of her elder brother.

But what about after that?

Liu Chang raised his head. Although his mother had already told him not to worry about these things, Liu Chang couldn't help but think about it. When he was still in Chang'an, he tried his best to ease many conflicts and not let them go completely. Outburst, no matter. Sooner or later, I will leave Chang'an. I really don't know what will happen then.

Alas, it would be great if Grandpa was still there.

Liu Chang's sadness didn't last long, especially when he brought Qunxian to borrow sheep and came back, there was no trace of sadness on his face anymore.

Sitting among the sages, Liu Chang suddenly blew away.

"At that time, I was alone and attacked the capital of King Jing, and even thousands of people could not stop me. I cut the generals to capture the flag, and I was the first to climb the city and capture the king alive. This is unmatched by the Marquis of Wuyang!"

"Master! This is a gift I brought to you from the south!"

When Liu Chang handed the leg of lamb to Han Xin, Han Xin took the leg of lamb and was stunned for a long time, "I brought it back from Jingchu? Can I still eat it?"

"Cough cough, brought back the sheep, just slaughtered, you can eat."

Han Xin was not polite, took a few bites, and then said: "The taste of this sheep of Jingchu resembles that of Jiancheng Hou's sheep!"

"Hahaha, master, let's talk about the Jing country! I went out this time, knocked down eight people, and captured 24! Didn't you embarrass the master?"

"The bravery of a reckless man is not worth mentioning."

Han Xin still had a look of disdain on his face, and what he said was the old saying, "What about Xiang Yu's bravery?"

However, Liu Chang couldn't refute it. After all, this was the man who defeated Xiang Yu. There was no problem with what he said.

Han Xin took a few more bites before saying, "I have to congratulate you first."

"Ah? Congratulations? Hey, Master doesn't have to do this, it's just a small credit, why bother?" Liu Chang raised his head proudly.

"It's not because of the Jing Kingdom."

"Ah? What's that for? What's the joy of it?"

Han Xin looked at Liu Chang in surprise, then shook his head, "If you capture King Jing alive this time, you will definitely be rewarded again."

Liu Chang squinted his eyes, then said with a smile: "Of course! My first credit!"

"Later, you can go and see Chen Ping."

Hearing Han Xin's words, Liu Chang gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I want to see him! I must visit him!!!"

After leaving from Han Xin, Liu Chang suddenly covered his stomach and grinned.

Luan Bu was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty? What's going on?"

"I'm tired, you wait for me here, I'll go back!"

Luan Bu nodded and waited here. After waiting for a while, Luan Bu suddenly felt that something was wrong and rushed into Han Xin's mansion, but when he rushed in, Tang Wang had long since disappeared.

Liu Chang climbed over the courtyard wall and jumped into the mansion.

One of the servants in the house was carrying sundries here. When he saw the thief who suddenly jumped over the wall and entered, he was shocked. He was about to shout when Liu Chang kicked him fiercely, "I am King Tang! Where is Chen Ping?"

The servant hurriedly leaned over and bowed, and he also recognized that the thief was a friend of the young patriarch of his own family, so he led him towards the mansion.

"Your Majesty wants to visit the head of the family. Why don't you go through the main entrance?"

"Widows are not used to going through the front door."

Liu Chang said coldly, walked into the inner room, and saw Chen Ping bowing his head, as if he was reading a book.

Liu Chang was furious, and he was still so leisurely after cheating on me?All these things in the city must have been handled by Chen Ping, the ministers were uneasy, how could this fellow study so leisurely?
"You rascal"

As soon as Liu Chang opened his mouth, Chen Ping turned around and held a bamboo slip in his hand, "Your Majesty, don't scold me for now, let's see, are these county governors alright?"

"The county guard? What county guard?"

"Naturally, it is the county governor of Yunzhong, Taiyuan, Dai, and Jibei. I am currently the prime minister of the left. The queen mother once said that there is a lack of talents in Tang. I want to select four qualified counties and send them to Tang."

"Ah? Why is Chen Hou so polite!"

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, then sat next to Chen Ping with a smile, and hurriedly put on a frustrated face, and said, "Chen Hou, my country in Tang is poor and lacks everything, especially talents, like Yunzhong Yanmen. If you don't have a qualified county governor, how can you hold it? The people of Tang country are worried all day long, and the Xiongnu frequently knocks on the side of me. Tang country is suffering."

"Ninghou Wei has come to serve as the governor of Yanmen County, what does the king think?"

"Good! Good! I heard that Ninghou is the best at training the army. He once trained a large army for my father. In a few months, he trained the peasants into elites, and he was deeply trusted by my father. If he trained the army in Yanmen , the Huns will certainly not dare to go south!"

"Chen Xiang, this person is too suitable for my Tang country, please let him do the job!"

"Well, okay, let him serve as the county governor of Yanmen."

Chen Ping nodded and asked again: "Longju Hou Zhouzao is guarding the cloud, what do you think of the king?"

"Oh! That's great! I heard that General Zhou is the best at defending the generals. In the Battle of Gaixia, General Zhou was alone and prevented Xiang Yu from breaking through. When Xiang Yu's army lost his mind, General Zhou led people to stop Xiang Yu. He is a brave general, my father called him Captain Changberi, if he can guard Yunzhong, our country of Tang will no longer be afraid that the Huns can break through the Great Wall!"

"Father Zhong, please let him do the job!"

Chen Ping nodded again, and Liu Chang smiled all over his face, "I came from Chu State this time, and because I was in a hurry, I couldn't bring any gifts to Father Zhong. After seeing Master, I hurriedly came to see you, You are really radiant. The position of the prime minister should have been taken over by Father Zhong long ago! Your ability to govern the country is far inferior to that of Prime Minister Xiao!"

Chen Ping stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I thought the king was coming to ask the guilt."

"Ah? Asking for sin? Why do you want to ask for sin? Father Zhong and I have always been close, and we have always supported each other. Father Zhong, if you have time, you can go to my Tang country. I will definitely entertain you. By the way, Father Zhong Ah, I have some books there, will I send someone to give them to you later?"

"Hahaha, okay, then this Jibei county guard will be served by Chenghou Dongchi, how?"

Liu Chang looked at Chen Ping in front of him, moved and speechless.

After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Don't say anything, Father Zhong, let me sing you a song."

ps: The beginning of this month is really unfortunate. I just wrote a little, but it was shorted again. I am going to use a few sacks to cover the electric switch. Otherwise, the power will be cut off when it rains. I can't stand it. The sudden power outage really affects my thinking. When I have money, I will live in that tall house like your city dwellers, so I don't have to worry about rain leaks.

I went to repair the electric switch, everyone remember to vote for me monthly.
