Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 195 Why Don't You Meet the Widow?

It is not uncommon for Dahan to make sacrifices for himself or live sacrifices.

A long, long time ago, an old rogue who did not want to be named had just entered the gate and became emperor, and decided to make sacrifices. So he called the minister and asked who should be sacrificed. The minister told him that he wanted to sacrifice to the four emperors. The old rogue asked in surprise: "Isn't it five emperors? Why are there only four?"

The minister is also very confused, there have always been four, and I have never heard of five emperors.

The old rogue waved his hand, "I'm here, don't I have it? I said five, then it's five!" So, on the spot, there was one less son of the Red Emperor, and one more Black Emperor.

Therefore, Luan Bu is really afraid, because he knows that Liu Chang can definitely do such a thing. After all, there are traces of this thing. As the emperor, Liu Bang does not respect the sky very much, even when offering sacrifices. The hippie smiling face completely ignored the sky. The Confucian scholar ran over to persuade him, and he urinated in other people's hats. This is the case with the first wicked man in a big man.

Liu Bang also completely ignored the life sacrifices and the like. He was not afraid of them, and he didn't care about them.

And Liu Chang is almost the same. He doesn't pay much attention to sacrifice. Even if he followed to worship Emperor Gao, he sat directly in front of the spiritual seat and muttered and complained, saying bad things about everyone, thanking him for sending him The armor and the like, it is completely different from the other people who worship and rise again and recite the sacrificial texts.

Fortunately, after Luan Bu's hard persuasion, Liu Chang dismissed the idea.

"Your Majesty, offering sacrifices is a major event in the country, and you can't come here."

"I know, I know, this is the most annoying thing for you Confucian students. If you look at Huang Lao, you just say that you are sincere, and you don't need to do any cumbersome rituals to worship you. Why can't you learn a lesson?"

Just as Liu Chang was standing in front of the restaurant as usual, smiling and chatting with the beautiful women who came and went, Zhang Budo hurried over.

Liu Chang gradually opened up, and the heroic expression on his face that could not be hidden attracted many women to come here specially to be chatted up by him.

The folk customs of big men are very sturdy, not only men will chat up good-looking women, but women will not let go of men they like.That is to say, Liu Chang is still young, and those women are just chatting with him, asking him to praise himself, tease this beautiful younger brother, and walk away happily. If he is a few years older, he is afraid that he will be eaten. Not even bones are left.

"Your Majesty! King Han is here!"

Zhang Budo said in a low voice.

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and reluctantly looked at the good-looking eldest sisters in front of him, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Go back!"

Back in the Tang Palace, Zhang Budo hurriedly said, "Liu Buha sent someone to tell him that he saw the frame of the princes and kings. There were only a few followers, and it was the frame of the king of Han."

"Even though South Korea is near, the fourth brother came back too soon!"

"This is to show loyalty to the queen mother. It seems that he will not oppose those policies, and can help the king. Previously, the ministers of various countries wrote letters to the king, but Fu Kuan, the minister of South Korea, did not!", Luan Bu analyzed , and said: "Your Majesty, don't go to see you. The more you maintain the attitude of the sage of the clan, the safer the princes and kings will be."

"I know that the fourth brother must go to see his mother and second brother first. I'll be waiting for him here."

Just as he said, Liu Heng came to Chang'an in a hurry without resting, and came directly to the palace.

To be honest, everyone was not ready to meet him, and Liu Heng came too quickly.

When the soldier at the city gate brought the news of his arrival back to the palace to tell the queen mother, King Han had already appeared at the gate of the palace, and no one greeted him.

The queen mother learned that, of course, she was furious, and the dignified princes and kings came, but no one came to greet them. Is this like a word?

When Liu Heng stood at the gate of the palace with his head bowed and waited, the gate was open, Cao Cheng and other ministers hurried out to greet him, Cao Cheng hurriedly bowed, and said guiltily: "I didn't know the king came, but I didn't arrive in time to greet him, please, the king. Forgiveness!"

Liu Heng smiled lightly, "Don't dare, come in a hurry."

Under their leadership, Liu Heng walked directly to the Jiaofang Hall, ignoring everyone's surprised expressions.

"My son meets the Queen Mother!!"

Liu Heng bowed respectfully towards Empress Lu, a smile appeared on Empress Lu's face, she smiled and helped Liu Heng up, "Family, why is this?"

"Is Mrs. Bo okay?"

"Okay, she misses the queen mother very much, and she specially asked me to send a gift"

"Haha, okay, what about your queen and child?"

"They're fine too."

Empress Lu pulled Liu Heng to her side, and her words were very gentle. Liu Heng's biological mother was close to her, and his queen was a member of the Lu family. Liu Heng would send someone to greet the empress dowager every month. decree, he is always the first to finish.

At the beginning, Liu Bang gave him the smallest fief, Han, which was probably about the size of Shangdang County in Tang State. Although it had a large population, it could be regarded as the weakest among the states.But Liu Heng made South Korea rule in a short period of time. If nothing else, just say that the result is that South Korea's grain production has even surpassed that of Zhao Guo. Although Liu Heng is young, all matters go through his hands. They are all willing to help him and dare not despise him.

Empress Lu chatted with him for a long time, and asked about the current situation in South Korea. Liu Heng neither deliberately belittled nor flattered him, and told the empress dowager truthfully.

The queen mother was even happier, and said with emotion: "Let you be the king of Han, overkill!"

"My son is not talented, and it is already very content to be able to share the empress dowager's worries."

The two were chatting, and one person rushed into the Jiaofang Hall.

"Hahaha, the fourth brother is back!"

The person who came was Liu Ying. After Liu Chang persuaded him, he did put down his alcoholism, and now he is gradually recovering.The two brothers were very happy to meet each other. Liu Heng also got up in a hurry, bowed several times, and showed extra kindness to his brother.

Empress Lu looked at them chatting with a smile, suddenly stunned, and asked, "Where's the stubby?"

Liu Ying shook her head blankly, "He loves his fourth brother the most on weekdays, haven't he heard the news?"

Empress Lu frowned and said to the valet, "Go and call me that Shuzi!!"

The valet hurriedly came to the Tang Palace, and smiled and saluted with a few other people, and was about to enter the inner room, but Zhang Budo stopped him.

"I have something important to see the king!"

"If there is a big thing, you should report it first. What's the matter with you?"

The valet scolded angrily, "Have you forgotten the previous beating?"

Zhang Budo sneered, and all roared: "Okay, then you go back and tell the Queen Mother, it's better for the Queen Mother to execute me, and someone to avenge me! Go! Go!"

The valet was shocked and said helplessly: "King Han is here, and the Queen Mother asks King Tang to go to Jiaofang Palace."

"what?!"

Empress Lu was furious, "Why didn't he come?!"

The valet lowered his head and said helplessly: "King Tang told his ministers that he was reading Han Fei's book in the mansion, and he was reading: the junior is not humble, the weak is not afraid of the strong, the rude and insulting the big neighbor, Those who are greedy and poor in friendship can perish. Therefore, they cannot come to worship.”

"Straight!!"

Empress Lv scolded angrily, picked up the wooden stick on the side and was about to get up, but Liu Heng hurriedly stopped her and said, "The empress dowager doesn't need to be angry, I will visit King Tang later."

"Oh, don't worry, I will definitely not forgive this Shuzi!"

Empress Lu just threatened and sat down again. Liu Ying was stunned at the moment, but instead of reprimanding him, he pondered for a moment, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Fourth brother, I will Take care of him! Don't worry! This Shuzi just needs to be taught a lesson from time to time!"

Liu Heng chuckled lightly and did not answer.

After talking for a long time, Empress Lu said to Liu Heng: "You are also tired, go to rest first, and you can come and see me tomorrow."

Liu Heng said goodbye to Empress Lu, and as soon as he walked out of the Jiaofang Palace, Liu Ying pulled him to his side and whispered: "Fourth brother, you must not be angry with the elder brother, the elder brother really wants to Yours, often mention you to me, he is doing this now, in fact, to protect you"

Looking at the dignified Liu Ying in front of him, Liu Heng looked at him with more gentle eyes, he smiled and nodded, "Thank you brother, I know what to do."

"That's good, that's good, look at you, hahaha, in the blink of an eye, you've grown so big. However, if you see it, you'll be surprised."

Liu Ying and Liu Heng seemed to have endless things to say, and Liu Heng listened very quietly.

Liu Heng loves this brother who is always taking care of him. In history, he is also the only person who avenged his brother with his own hands after he really took power.

All those who harmed Liu Ying's children and murdered the imperial family received special care from Liu Heng. If not for his mother's obstruction, Zhou Bo would have almost died in prison.

"Meet King Tang!"

When Liu Heng saluted Liu Chang, Liu Chang smiled and helped him up.

"Fourth brother, why do you really salute me?"

"You can't be polite. My South Korea is a small country. If I don't fear Tang's big neighbor, won't King Tang kill my South Korea?"

"Hahaha~~"

Liu Changda smiled, "There are no outsiders here, fourth brother doesn't have to be like this, even if others don't know, how can you not know?"

The two brothers sat close together. Liu Heng looked at Liu Chang, who was a little taller than him. He was amazed. How could this guy grow so fast? After three or four years, wouldn't he have to look up? he?
Liu Chang was very happy, "Fourth brother, you have a son every year, but you really scared me!"

"Haha, I really want to go to Korea and see your sons."

Liu Heng glanced at him, "Anyway, I will educate my children well, and I will never be as arrogant as someone else."

"Fourth brother, Ruyi is unbearable, but you shouldn't say that to him. By the way, why hasn't Ruyi come yet?"

When the two brothers meet, naturally there are many things to say. Liu Heng is a good listener. Liu Chang loudly brags about his past in these days. A banner weighing [-] kilograms, what a single person to break through the Jing Kingdom, Liu Heng didn't interrupt, just nodded.

"Fourth brother, I know you are close to mother, but don't interfere in this matter, don't rush to show your loyalty. Let me come first and you can follow me. If something happens, I will pay you back. If you can bear it, don’t worry about anything, everything is mine!!”

Liu Heng's face was extraordinarily calm, and he asked, "What is the eldest brother going to do?"

"When the princes arrive, I will hold a banquet to invite them to come, and take the lead in agreeing that I will lead the New Deal, and they will not refuse again."

"What about the prime ministers from all over the world?"

"Let them start to rotate and go to other countries as ministers. If they don't obey the order, they will be dismissed."

Liu Heng fell silent and said, "The princes love you so much, and they won't blame you for it, but if you do this, I'm afraid that you will anger many local officials and make them even more hostile to you."

Liu Chang raised his head and laughed, "Offend me? What if they offend me? How can they take me? How dare they treat me?!"

Liu Heng raised his head calmly, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"Brother, don't do anything. Don't say anything. After I propose it, fourth brother, you promise!"

"it is good."

Liu Heng rested in Liu Chang's mansion for one night. He did not have his own mansion in Chang'an. Liu Chang boasted to him for a whole night and said everything he had said over the years.The next day, Liu Heng got up early and went to Jiaofang Hall again.

Empress Lu's meaning is similar to that of Liu Chang. After the princes have gathered, it is good to be obedient and express their opinions.Of course, if you hear any bad words, you can tell yourself first, and Liu Heng agrees again.

Liu Heng has not been back to Chang'an for many years. When he came back this time, Liu Chang naturally wanted to take him around. He walked in Chang'an again, but Liu Heng just felt that this place was very strange, and he stayed in the kingdom of princes. After so long, Liu Heng has grown up completely. He stood beside Liu Chang and looked around calmly, no different from adults.

He is already the father of five children, so naturally it is not the same as before.

After Liu Heng, the second person who came was Liu Hui, King of Liang.

Liu Hui rushed to Chang'an and hurried towards Liu Chang's mansion before he could rest. He was just halfway there when he met someone sent by Liu Heng and asked him to come to Jiaofang Palace now.

Although Liu Hui missed Liu Chang very much, he didn't dare to ignore the fourth brother's words, and hurriedly turned around and came to the palace.

Compared with Liu Heng, the ministers were prepared this time, and many people came to greet him, including Liu Heng.

"Fourth Brother!!"

Liu Hui walked up to Liu Heng's side in surprise, his eyes quickly flushed red, and he also had a lot to say, but Liu Heng shook his head, pulled him and walked towards the Jiaofang Palace.

"The queen mother is unwell, please come back another day, King Liang."

The valet stood at the door and said indifferently.

Liu Hui asked a few more questions, but the valet ignored him.

Liu Hui turned around helplessly and looked at Liu Heng with a smile, "It seems that I can only visit the Queen Mother another day. Let's go to see Your Majesty first!"

Liu Ying and Liu Hui's reactions were the same. They hugged each other and talked to each other with tears in their eyes. Liu Heng stood not far away, but frowned, not knowing what he was thinking, and talked with Liu Ying. After a few hours, Liu Hui left and decided to visit his eldest brother. Liu Ying said goodbye to him with a smile, and told him to come back after reading it.

Liu Heng followed Liu Hui's side, and Liu Hui talked and laughed about Liang Guo's affairs.

"Fifth brother, listen to me. There's something wrong with the situation. After you meet King Tang later, you can go to Jiaofang Palace to see you a few more times. When you see the queen mother, ask the queen mother to give you the queen."

Liu Hui shook his head and said happily, "Fourth brother, you don't know, I already have a queen."

"The queen and I are very affectionate. She is really nice and will accompany me every day. I will tell her about our previous affairs every time." Liu Hui talked about other queens, his eyes were shining, his face was Unable to hide the smile, so happy, Liu Heng didn't even know what to say, just shook his head.

"Fifth brother, as a prince, you can't just focus on your personal feelings."

"Fourth brother. I don't have any big ambitions. The affairs of governing the country are done by the ministers. I don't have the ability like you. I just want to spend this life with my family healthily. That's enough. Not long ago, We had our first child. I named him Jian."

"The widowed fifth brother is here!!"

Liu Chang ran out happily, the brothers met, Liu Hui looked at the sturdy Liu Chang in front of him in surprise, and asked with a smile, "Are you Chang? I don't even recognize you, come, take off your clothes and let me I'll take a look, or I won't recognize it!"

"Hahaha! Fifth brother, after you left, no one applied medicine to me!"

"Since no one applies the medicine, why bother the Queen Mother?"

The princes came to Chang'an one after another. Soon after, Zhao Wangruyi, Yan Wangbi, Qi Wangfei, Chu Shizi Yingke, Wu Wangyou and others came together, and the princes met each other. Naturally, they were extremely happy. Talking and laughing, all the princes came, but this time the minister started to greet them from outside the city.

Except that King Tang did not go, the other princes and clans were already waiting here. Liu Ying wanted to go, but the Queen Mother refused.

For a time, the scene became extremely complicated.

"Fourth brother!"

"Third Brother!"

"Five brothers!"

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

Anyway, they each called their own. Liu Jian, who came to greet them, looked at them with some fear and hid behind his valet. When the princes left, he was still very young, so he was still a little unfamiliar with these brothers. With a smile, he bent down, and with just one snack, he successfully bought Liu Jian. Liu Fei hugged Jian, and several younger brothers stood around Liu Fei, teasing the youngest Jian.

Jian is naturally also very happy, one brother at a time.

"Hey? Where's the eldest brother?"

"Big brother! He lives in the mansion! He doesn't want to come out to greet you, and he always speaks ill of you!" Liu Jian who was in Liu Fei's arms suddenly said.

Liu Fei was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Why do you call your seventh brother by his first name?"

"Hmph, he always bullies me, beats me, lied to me, and robs me of my toys!"

Jian began to complain to his brothers, Liu Fei hugged him, raised his head and laughed, looking at Ruyi, "Quick, quick, come and hold it! Do these words sound familiar?"

Liu Ruyi smiled lightly, took Liu Jian, and said seriously: "You don't have to be polite to such a brother, you know, when you grow up, you will have a dog!"

"I was not allowed to keep a dog for a long time, and he said that if I kept a dog, he would beat me up."

"Then you wait until he's old to raise him!"

Liu Bi and Prince Chu of Yan Kingdom were standing not far away. They were not very able to participate in the topics of these people. They just smiled awkwardly and nodded their heads from time to time.

Finally, all Liu Bang's sons gathered in Chang'an again.

When they came to visit Liu Ying together, Liu Chang sat proudly next to Liu Ying, the princes walked in, Liu Chang hurriedly looked at them, his eyes quickly skipped the people in front of him, with a smile on his face.Everyone respectfully greeted Liu Ying, and seeing so many brothers for a while, Liu Ying was so happy, not to mention how happy they were.

"Ruyi? Seeing the widow here, why didn't you come to see him?"
