Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 186 Zhao Wang Can't
Five years of Emperor Han.

"Cough! Cough!"

Liu Chang almost choked on the water, raised his head, looked at the messenger in front of him in surprise, and asked, "What did you say?"

"This is a letter from the king of my family to you. Prince Han was born to teach his fathers to know."

Liu Chang took the letter from South Korea in a daze, and hurriedly opened it to check it. This letter was sent by the fourth brother. Make a mistake, and then casually mention it at the end, by the way, the widow has another son, named Qi, so that you know.

"Fourth brother, isn't this too fierce?? This is the fifth son, right??"

"One is born every year. I thought the second brother was the most father-like, but I didn't expect the fourth brother to be even worse!"

This is already the fifth letter sent by the fourth brother. It is basically one every year. Every letter is almost like this. First, I asked about Liu Chang's situation, and finally added that I have a son.

It's been like this for five years in a row. Are all our old Liu family born sons?One son per year?And this tradition?
"This is a happy event, I should give you a gift, don't leave, wait for the widow to prepare the gift, and then bring it back to Korea!"

"only!"

The messenger bowed before turning around and leaving.

Liu Chang smiled and looked at the letter in his hand, and suddenly laughed again.

Luan Bu looked at him in surprise, "Why is the king laughing?"

"The widow laughs that King Zhao can't do it. Big brother, second brother, and fourth brother have children. Even the fifth brother's queen is pregnant. Only this King Zhao has no children! Hahaha!"

Liu Chang raised his head and laughed, and then said, "No, the widow has to write a letter to King Zhao and ask him what happened."

Luan Bu shook his head lightly and said, "King Zhao is the elder brother of the king, how can there be any reason to treat his elder brother like this?"

"The widow also cares about him. If he dies one day and has no children, wouldn't he have to get rid of the country?"

The two chatted, Liu Chang suddenly looked at Ji Bu not far away and asked, "Ji Bu? Is this Queen Han also surnamed Lu?"

Ji Bu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's a distant relative of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is close to King Han's mother, so most of her concubines are arranged by the Queen Mother."

"Then you also have to prepare gifts. The people who serve the surname Lu are not as good as you, so please take charge of preparing the gifts."

In the face of such sarcasm, Ji Bu was not angry, and left here after taking orders.

Seeing Ji Bu leave, Zhang Budo said resentfully, "This fellow is unfaithful, you can get rid of him!"

Duke Zhao sneered, "Your Excellency has the face to say that others are unfaithful."

Zhang Budo was furious and scolded: "You meet and feast with the ministers all day long, but you are also a disloyal traitor like Ji Bu! It is a great humiliation to be in the company of you!"

"Okay, don't make a fuss and go out with me while Jibu isn't here!"

Liu Chang interrupted the dispute between the two and hurriedly left the Tang Palace with them.

After getting into the car, Luan Bu asked, "Your Majesty? Where are we going?"

"In the palace of the king's mausoleum."

Luan Bu was taken aback and drove away from here.

It's been a while since Liu Chang returned to Chang'an. When he left, what happened in Chang'an, Liu Chang didn't care, and he didn't want to know.He only knew that now that the big Han has become formal, and the Queen Mother is in power, the first thing is to abolish some of the laws.

She first got rid of the crime of the three races and the crime of lying, so that the people would no longer be punished by words, and even if they committed a serious crime, the three races would not be implicated, and then commuted the punishments of the present day, abolishing a large number of In corporal punishment, the law of atonement was promulgated. Since the offender can atone for himself by giving money, food, and meritorious deeds, if he cannot atone for his sins, he will be punished for his sins.

Immediately, she and the ministers formulated a system of "guarding the soldiers every year", and the soldiers at the frontier were rotated once a year.

Then, in terms of currency, the currency system in the early Han Dynasty was too chaotic, and Empress Lu finally decided to stipulate the currency system, so that the world could use the same currency.

The big man was rushing forward at a speed visible to the naked eye. The ministers were extremely well-behaved and actively carried out the orders of the temple. For fear of being invited to drink someday, the local officials were effectively supervised and did not dare to act recklessly. There is no internal friction, and the machine named Dahan was launched by Empress Lu, and the efficiency was countless times higher than that of Liu Ying.

Liu Chang felt that this was enough.

Liu Chang didn't know what the long-term plan was. He only knew that after the Empress Dowager came to power, Chang'an West City was directly opened. Chang'an merchants came from all directions. It didn't have the cool look it used to be.

The poor people who needed the help of the sages in the past are now fewer and fewer. The merchants who stayed and came and went, let these Chang'an people make a lot of money, Chang'an was prosperous, and the people who lived here were also rich.

And this time he was going to visit Wang Ling because he was entrusted by someone.

Wang Ling is now living at home, he is not a semi-idle like Cao Can. Cao Can is now called by the Queen Mother to the palace from time to time to ask about some important matters. Cao Can does not care about the contradiction between the two at all. Facing the Queen Mother's many policies, he can give With his own opinion, the queen mother often rewards him, which is very important.

But Wang Ling, that is the real resignation. He spent all day criticizing the court at home, that is, the Queen Mother pardoned the crime of criticizing, otherwise Xuanyi would have cut off his head.

The queen mother sent people to invite him many times, but this fellow ignored him and shouted to the messenger: Kill if you want to.

His appearance made the queen mother very angry, but she didn't do anything to him, just no longer sent someone to invite him, and let him stay at home.

When the frame approached the Wangling mansion, Liu Chang heard scolding from a long distance.

"Dog thief!"

"Old man!"

Liu Chang frowned, asked Luan Bu to stop the car, jumped out of the car, and walked proudly towards the gate of the mansion. In front of the gate of the Wangling mansion stood a dozen young people, who were probably the same as Liu. Ying was about the same age, all dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, and there were a few entourage standing not far away. They gathered at the gate of Wangling Mansion and kept swearing.

When they found that Chang Liu had come, they looked at Chang Liu with surprise in their eyes.

This is a handsome young man, dressed more luxuriously than them, and obviously not as old as them, but he is tall, with a domineering look and fierce eyes. There are three people behind him, and he looks very imposing.

Seeing this posture, the person in the lead took the lead to salute, "I don't know which noble he is in Gelü?"

"Lu He? Why haven't I heard of it?"

The more arrogant Liu Chang was, the less dared to provoke them. The leader said with a smile, "It's a distant relative of the Queen Mother, who just returned from a single father not long ago."

Liu Chang smiled disdainfully and looked at Luan Bu, "Do you know these people?"

"I know. They are distant relatives of the Empress Dowager. We were taken over by the Empress Dowager when we left Chang'an. This one is called Lu Ta. His father relied on his relationship with the Empress Dowager, and he was domineering in the local area. Wang Ling Zhu Empress Dowager took them over. When they come back, they will each be named a marquis, and this Lu Ta, after hearing about it, named a Marquis Yu, but this Marquis Yu has no virtue, bullying the market, and doing all kinds of evil in Chang'an!"

Hearing the people in front of them casually talking about the queen mother, there was not the slightest fear on their faces, and the Lu family members were immediately a little scared.

"My lord, I have a grudge with Wang Ling, and Wang Ling is against my Lu family. I came here under the order of Marquis Huan."

"Marquis Xun? Lu Chan asked you to come."

"Yes, yes, he asked us to come."

Liu Chang sneered and said, "I usually hate you, the domineering gangsters and evil young masters!"

"The big man has his own laws here. You are messing with the laws of Chang'an. As a member of the Queen Mother's family, you take the lead in breaking the law and ruining the Queen Mother's reputation! How can you easily let go of evil people like you?!"

"Luan Bu! Hack them!"

In an instant, Luan Bu did not hesitate to pull out his long sword and slashed at Lu Ta. Lu was terrified. When the long sword landed on the man's neck, Luan Bu just stopped his hand. Lu He was trembling all over and almost knelt on the ground. The rest of Lu, watching this scene in horror, said with a trembling: "We are all marquis."

"You guys too?"

"Zhang Budo, arrest them all!"

Obviously, these people together are not enough for Zhang Budo to fight alone. Zhang Budo can't beat Ji Bu or Luan Bu, but it's easy to beat these evil young masters, and it's completely rude. Several people, one of the entourage was almost beheaded by Zhang Budo just because he aimed his sword at Liu Chang. Looking at the people who fell on the ground and groaning, Liu Chang asked Zhang Budo to tie them up and knocked on the door himself. .

Liu Chang tirelessly knocked on the door.

After a long time, finally, someone impatiently opened the door, stuck his head out, and cursed: "Shuzi, what are you doing?!"

The person who opened the door was the royal mausoleum.

At this moment, Wang Ling was wearing ordinary people's clothes, his body was dirty and soiled, and his face was full of displeasure.

When he saw that it was Liu Chang outside the door, he looked stunned for a moment, then looked at the children of the Lu family who had fallen to the ground, and then sneered, "The little villain meets the big villain."

Liu Chang looked at Zhang Budo and explained, "Although I am a bit irritable, I am definitely not a person of great evil."

Only then did Wang Ling look at him, "What's the matter?"

"I came here to visit Father Zhong, why didn't Father Zhong invite me into the house?"

"I am a grass-roots citizen, but I can't be the king's father!"

"Father Zhong originally followed his father to fight in the north and south, and set the country. If it wasn't for Father Zhong, how could the widow be the king?"

Without waiting for Wang Ling's answer, Liu Chang rushed into the mansion, Wang Ling couldn't stop him, he snorted coldly, turned and walked towards the inner room, Liu Chang waved his hand, and Zhang Budo took those one by one. The people were tied up, Luan Bu stood guard at the door, and Duke Zhao entered together, with a clear division of labor.

Wang Ling's mansion was empty, and there was not even a shadow of a person. Some vegetable gardens could be seen in the distance. It seemed that Wang Ling was idle and started to grow vegetables.

Liu Chang followed behind Wang Ling, chatting non-stop, the two walked into the inner room and sat facing each other.

Wang Ling's expression was very arrogant and defiant.

"Prince Wang, why don't you even have a servant in your mansion?"

"I was entrusted by the late emperor, and I should die. What's the crime of the next person? I shouldn't be buried with me."

Liu Chang shook his head, "No one wants to kill Wang Xiang."

"Oh, are you a lobbyist for the Queen Mother?"

"No."

"That's to ask me something? Your Majesty, let's go back. I only know that the current high-ranking person is not Liu's surname, and I don't know anything else."

Liu Chang proudly said: "I didn't come to ask, the superior person does not have the surname Liu, but the person with the surname Liu was born to the superior person! If I had been in Chang'an, I would not have asked too much. , is the long one!!"

When Wang Ling heard this, he was immediately furious, "Your Majesty is very fond of His Majesty, and now His Majesty is being bullied and unhappy, how can His Majesty be so ruthless?!"

"Oh, being bullied? Unhappy? That's not what I saw. Besides, it's like this. It's my own business, what's the matter with you?!"

"The emperor's family affairs are state affairs! Back then, the late emperor valued the majesty very much, and repeatedly told him, why did the majesty betray his trust?!"

"If my grandfather was still there, my brother would not only be drinking and having fun in the Xuanshi Hall, but what he did, my grandfather could break ten pairs of shoes!!"

Hearing Liu Chang's rebuttal, Wang Ling was speechless for a while, and asked angrily, "Then why is the king looking for me?"

"I am under the order of my teacher to come and visit"

"Han Xin?"

Wang Ling was taken aback for a moment, then denied it and muttered, "Zhang Cang."

At the beginning, Zhang Cang committed some minor problems with his life style and was about to be pulled out for execution. It was Wang Ling who rescued him. Therefore, Zhang Cang has always respected Wang Ling. Not long ago, Zhang Cang sent a letter, The content of the letter is to worry about the prime minister of the motherland and to know his current situation after all, he has been kind to him.

Not only did he think of something, Wang Ling sighed, "At the time, I saw Zhang Cangwei'an and couldn't bear to kill him. He came to thank him many times, but I didn't accept it. This was a great talent for national security, not a personal favor. I didn't expect it. , and now only he is willing to send someone to visit me."

Liu Chang pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, Father Zhong doesn't have to worry too much about these things. The Queen Mother will definitely not be bad for my brother. Although my mother doesn't talk about it on weekdays, she loves my second brother very much, and she does a lot of things for the sake of Second brother. It's just that the second brother doesn't know that he is afraid of his mother and doesn't dare to get close. Now he is more and more distant, and maybe there are resentments he dare not show."

"In this world, it's still Liu's surname."

Wang Ling said with a stern face, "I failed to complete my mission."

"Is your mission to cause chaos in the world? You are so eager to get rid of the Lu family. You don't hesitate to turn your mother and son against each other. I really don't understand, you are not stupid, why do you act like this?"

Wang Ling raised his head, "The Empress Dowager is old, and the people of the Lu family hold various important positions. Your Majesty is weak, and the founding ministers who followed the previous emperors will grow old one by one. If you don't take advantage of them all, wait until we all leave. Now, the matter of the temple is the master of the Lu family!"

"I was worried about this. Did you take me too seriously, Liu Chang?"

"With me here, do you still need to worry about Lu's children?"

"Oh, if the king brings the soldiers of the Tang country to kill the children of the Lu family, I am afraid that they will not leave Chang'an again."

Liu Chang was angry and asked, "Are you saying that the widow will rebel?!"

"Even if the king does not rebel, the Tang Kingdom can kill all the clans and force the king to take the throne."

Liu Chang's face darkened even more, and Zhang Budo, who was standing not far away, was thoughtful.

Chang Liu stood up, "No one can force a widow to do what the widow is unwilling to do, not even my grandparents!"

"Zhang Xiang's letter is left here. If Wang Xiang thinks that Chang'an is boring, he can go to Tang country. The few people will worship him! If they don't want to, they will never say anything, so they will grow vegetables here!"

"Oh, why would the queen mother let me out of the city?"

"You are talented, but unfortunately, you think too highly of yourself and despise others. If my mother wanted to kill you, she would not keep you until today!"

"Farewell!"

Liu Chang angrily left here, Wang Ling picked up Zhang Cang's letter, hesitated for a moment, but opened it.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you tie him up and go to Tang country?"

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and scolded: "How can you tie a sage to a widow?"

Zhang Budo thought for a moment, "Your Majesty means that he is not virtuous enough?"

Zhao Ping frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Ling has always been against the Queen Mother, you have tied up the children of the Lu family today, and you have come to visit Wang Ling in person, and you want to invite him to Tang country to do so, will it cause trouble? The Queen Mother's dissatisfaction?"

"Hehe, what do you know? It's because Wang Ling is the only one who dares to oppose his mother on the bright side, so she can forgive him and rest assured that such a person is not dangerous. The real danger is a traitor like Chen Ping. Besides, he is also very capable, wouldn't it be better to go to Tang country instead of growing vegetables here?"

Zhaoping nodded, then looked at the tied princes on the ground and asked, "What about these people?"

"Luan Bu, go and hand them over to Tingwei for disposal!
"only!"

Liu Ying canonized Cao Can's son as a marquis, probably because it stimulated Empress Lu. Empress Lu named nine marquis at one time. All nine marquis were descendants of the Lu family. Even her aunt Lu Yu was named Marquis of Linguang, just to give The ministers are demonstrating to support the new foreign relatives, right?Relatives who have no military merit can also be named a marquis, right?Who is not a relative?
As for the Cao family, Empress Lv did not kill them all. She did not even abolish Cao Cheng's title and official position. Instead, she rewarded him. What kind of reward?

One of the daughters of the Lu family was given as his wife.

The Cao family was immediately stunned, and the power of the new relatives and ministers was directly disintegrated.

What is the first queen of China?

In the future, Huaxia will always implement that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the source is here.

Liu Chang doesn't care about this, but if these trash fish are too arrogant, he doesn't mind cleaning up. Others don't dare, but Liu Chang still dares, lest the Lu family's people go too crazy and have some ideas that they shouldn't have. .And the real descendants of the Lu family, such as Lu Chan, Lu Ze, Lu Chong, and Lu Lu, are still very close to Liu Chang.

When Luan Bu brought these people to Tingwei, the officials in front of Tingwei were still a little suspicious. We didn't arrest anyone today, so why did Luanbu come?
Luan Bu greeted them cordially, and only then asked to see Xuan Yi.

Xuanyi has written to resign four times, but the Queen Mother did not allow it, and Xuanyi did not quit his job like Wang Ling did, but continued to perform his duties in his post as Tingwei.

"Luan Sheren."

Xuanyi meets Luan Bu. Although Xuanyi hates Liu Chang, he has a good relationship with Luan Bu. Xuanyi thinks that Luan Bu is the most virtuous among Tang Wangshe people.Xuan Yi looked at the people behind Luan Bu. These people Xuan Yi knew, and they were all upstarts in Chang'an. In these days, he had been against himself many times, and was arrested several times by Xuan Yi, but they were all taken away by Marquis Jiancheng. Now, Duke Jiancheng also threatened Xuanyi, and beware that Donkey Tingwei becomes a dead Tingwei.

This made Xuan Yi feel helpless to them. Seeing them again at this moment, Xuan Yi's face was naturally not good-looking.

Xuanyi looked at them and asked, "What crime did they commit?"

"Gathering a crowd to make trouble, illegal and disorderly, intending to beat innocent people, was stopped by the king of my family."

"Your Majesty sent me here, just to ask Tingwei to punish him, without taking care of the Queen Mother"

"It's rare, Your Majesty has finally started to do human affairs."

Luan Bu cleared his throat and said, "My king has always obeyed the law."

"Okay, since it is the king's order, I will obey it!"

After sending Luan Bu away, Xuan Yi walked up to these people with a cold face. They didn't dare to be rude to Liu Chang, and when they saw Xuan Yi coming, he angrily scolded: "Don't let us go! I won't forgive you!!"

"Oh?"

Xuan Yi lowered his head and looked at them with extremely cold eyes.

"Let's see if you can last until the day the Queen Mother ordered."
