Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 200 I have grown strong and changed
"what??"

It was Liu Ying who spoke first. Liu Ying raised her head and looked at the queen mother in surprise, "Why? You are still so young!"

"Young? Oh, I'm about to be my father's person. What are you young?"

Liu Ying's eyes widened, "Huh??"

He looked at Liu Chang suddenly, but Liu Chang didn't care much. He got up suddenly, walked to Empress Lu's side with a grin, and sat down with his mother.

"Mom, I can't go now!"

Empress Lu sneered, "Aren't you eager to leave? All day long you tell others that you are a tiger imprisoned and caged, I will help you open the cage today, you tiger, go wherever you like, I will never again Don't tie you up!"

"Hey hey," Liu Chang scratched his head and said, "That's just a few complaints."

"Just complaining? You took the initiative to get close to the Cao family daughter, didn't you just leave Chang'an? You want to leave so impatiently, how can I stop you?" Empress Lu said, her eyes were obviously a little disappointed.

Liu Chang looked up in disdain, "I want to marry Cao Shu, just because I want to marry her, and it has nothing to do with other things! Sooner or later I will leave Chang'an, but even if I want to leave, it must be with me personally. Grandma said goodbye and left with Grandma's blessing, instead of being framed by others and leaving angrily!"

Empress Lu was stunned and wanted to say something, but Liu Chang looked at Liu Ying who was beside him, and said with a smile, "Brother, go back to the hall, I'll find you later!"

Liu Ying was about to say something, but she flinched when she saw Empress Lu's cold eyes, turned and left Jiaofang Hall.

After Liu Ying left, Liu Chang sat in front of his mother again, "Mother, are you worried that Cao's family will overtake Liu's in the future?"

"I'm old, and your brother is not the Queen's opponent at all, nor the Cao family's opponent."

"Yes, does grandma still intend to end the brotherhood and that kind of thing?"

"Your brother is frail and sick. If I am gone, the Empress will support Xiang in power, and the Cao family will be the harm of the world."

Empress Lu did not directly answer Liu Chang's question, but instead stated her own reasons.

Liu Chang laughed, "Mom, you know, I have no idea of ​​being an emperor at all."

Empress Lu glanced at Liu Chang, "I didn't ever want to govern the world, do you believe it?"

Liu Chang didn't know how to answer for a while, and he said again, "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the Cao family!"

"Cao Can is very scared. He is worried that my mother will support me and I will murder Queen Xianghe and clear the Cao family."

"He's not afraid of you, he's afraid that I will attack."

"Therefore, he specially asked the second daughter to approach me. As long as I marry the daughter of the Cao family, I will make my mother angry, and I will no longer have the idea of ​​standing up for me. Second, even if there is any change in the future, I can still Protecting the Cao family, this is his plan to kill two birds with one stone!"

Empress Lu narrowed her eyes, "You see it very clearly, why didn't you think of it yesterday?"

"How can I not think of it, but what does this have to do with me?"

Liu Chang said proudly: "Firstly, my mother is not a stupid woman and will not be led by the nose, secondly, I am definitely not a fool like Ruyi, and I will not protect the whole Cao because of Cao Shu. Family. Cao Shu is Cao Shu, and the Cao family is the Cao family. Could there be any other relatives who can put pressure on my head?!"

Empress Lu suddenly hesitated. She pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

"I have to teach Cao Can a lesson. These old guys always don't understand one thing."

"what's up?"

"I'm strong."

Walking out of the Jiaofang Palace, Liu Chang smiled and came to Ganquan Palace. Liu Ying was talking to the queen. After Liu Chang came in, the two did not speak.Liu Chang greeted the Empress with a smile, but the Empress glared at him and said, "King Tang kidnapped my sister and ruined her reputation. What's the reason?"

Liu Chang didn't care, he replied with a grin, "Sister-in-law, this is a heroic act of mine. A hero like me is the perfect match for Shu!"

Liu Ying smiled wryly, "eldest brother, I have never heard of anyone calling himself a hero. How can this be good, how can you openly kidnap people's daughters? Oh, the government and the opposition are shaking, and there are innumerable reports of impeachment against you. "

"Shu is a relative's daughter, not a people's daughter."

"It's even more difficult to grab a girl!"

"Then the girl can?"

"No way!!"

"Oh, well, I won't rob it next time."

"You bastard!" Liu Ying was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He looked at Empress Cao helplessly and said, "Empress, this little brother is naughty, don't blame me, let's get Shu married to the elder. It's not a grievance, Shu."

Empress Cao was also helpless, she said, "I'm not against them either, it's just that since I came to the palace, the Cao family has established a lot of enemies, and now if Shu marries the eldest brother, what about my clan? Can you be safe?"

When Liu Ying heard this, she immediately laughed, "Then the queen doesn't need to worry, this brother is not a good person. With him around, no one would dare to oppose the Cao family!"

"Brother, are you praising me?"

"What is not a good person, I grew up in the name of a good person, who does not know Chang'an? Who does not know?"

Liu Ying ignored this fellow, but said calmly, "Father is not here, I should go there in person and marry this girl for my eldest brother!"

"No, second brother, listen to me first!!"

Liu Changda shouted, but Liu Ying said with a stern face, "eldest brother, you can't do things that start messing up and end up giving up!"

"No, I'm not. Oh, you heard me say that Cao Shu is married, but now is not the time, brother, give me some time, I will finish my own business first!"

Liu Ying was a little puzzled, "What are you going to do?"

Liu Chang smiled and said, "That's right, my mother is worried about the power of the Cao family and will not allow me to marry Cao Shu. I've thought about it. The Cao family is actually only a direct son like Cao Cheng, and the rest are distant relatives. So I'm going to stay. Go down to Cao Cheng and kill all the rest of the Cao family's children, so that my mother doesn't have to worry about the power of the Cao family, and I can safely marry Cao Shu."

When Liu Chang smiled and said a very cruel thing, Liu Ying was completely stunned and stunned.

Not only Liu Ying, but also Empress Cao was stunned at the moment.

The two looked at Liu Chang dully.

Liu Ying suddenly roared: "Shuzi! How dare you waste your life!!"

"Er brother doesn't want to? Then I kill Cao Cheng and leave the other children?"

"Eldest brother! Eldest brother!"

Empress Cao grabbed Liu Chang's hand violently, her eyes full of fear, "Don't do this, eldest brother, I beg you, don't do this!"

"Ah? Sister-in-law, they are only distant relatives. Why should you care?"

"Eldest brother, Shu, Shu also doesn't want to see you do this."

Empress Cao was completely chaotic, and her voice was trembling.

"Oh, sister-in-law doesn't have to be like this. In fact, I've thought about it a long time ago. This thing is the most troublesome thing, so I decided a long time ago that if I marry someone, I will kill their clan first."

"Chang!! You are not allowed to do anything wrong!" Liu Ying was furious, took off her shoes, and wanted to hit Liu Chang, but Liu Chang hurriedly avoided, Liu Ying couldn't catch up at all, Liu Chang shouted while hiding : "Second brother! It's too late! My people have already gone to kill Cao's children! Stop beating!"

Liu Chang rushed to the door with a quick stride, and said with a smile, "Second brother! You don't have to worry, nothing will happen!"

After speaking, Liu Chang turned around and ran away.

Inside the Cao Mansion, Cao Can was stroking his beard with a smile.

"As we thought, the queen mother is very angry. This time, she will definitely give up her original idea and let King Tang go to Fengguo Chang'an to finally be peaceful."

The counselor on the side sighed and said, "Unfortunately, it is your second daughter who suffered."

Cao Can was in a good mood, he shook his head and said, "No, it's not embarrassing. Although that Shuzi is stubborn, he also has a heroic spirit, just like Emperor Gao. Although I don't like him, I admit that among the kings, only He is the bravest, and it is not bad to have such a son-in-law!"

The advisor changed the subject and hurriedly said with a smile: "Congratulations to Cao Xiang on winning this wonderful son-in-law!"

The big stone that had been in Cao Can's heart for a long time finally disappeared at this moment. He raised his head and was about to speak when a valet rushed into the mansion in horror. The man was in a hurry and almost fell in front of Cao Can. Yue looked at him, "What happened? Why is it so rude?"

The valet said tremblingly, "The queen sent me here. She said that King Tang wants to kill Cao's family."

The valet revealed everything the queen told him, and informed Cao Can one by one.

After hearing this man's words, Cao Can suddenly stood up.

"What did you say?!"

Before Cao Can reacted, exclamations from the servants came from outside the mansion.

In just a moment, an armored general rushed into the inner room, followed by several strong armored soldiers, holding strong crossbows, standing proudly behind the general.Cao Can narrowed his eyes, looked at it for a moment, and asked, "Does Liu harm?"

"General Cao!"

Liu Buhao also fought with Cao Can, and bowed to him.

"Aren't you a soldier of King Tang? How dare you enter the city?"

"It was ordered by the king of Tang to protect Prime Minister Cao."

"Protect?!"

Cao Can laughed angrily, "Is Liu Chang planning to kill my entire clan?!"

Liu Buharm didn't answer, just stood silently by the side.

"You are also the general of the first emperor, why are you making trouble?!"

Liu Buhao replied loudly: "I never made trouble, but I was ordered by the king of Tang to protect Prime Minister Cao!"

"What about my nephews?! Where are they?!"

"The king of Tang is the king of the outside world, how dare you kill people indiscriminately in the capital?"

"Senior Ting said that there are many lawbreakers among Cao's children. Cao's children openly beat up the officials of the Tingwei who came to arrest them. Marquis Jiancheng is mobilizing people to arrest them. What does this have to do with King Tang?"

"It's irrelevant? It's irrelevant!! What about you guys! Why are you here as personal soldiers?!"

"I'm a personal soldier of Tang Wang, so naturally I'm here to protect Princess Tang."

Cao Can was at a loss for words and shouted: "Xuanyi! I'm going to see Xuanyi! What is he doing?! To protect Liu Chang!!"

"Xuanyi has meritorious deeds and was promoted to the imperial censor. The current Tingwei is General Wang Tianqi."

Hearing these answers, Cao Can sat down weakly, breathing heavily. When Liu Chang started to do something, the entire Chang'an was under his control. Cao Can hardly had any power to fight back. He didn't expect that this would happen. The servant can be so cruel, the milk tiger in the past is now eating people.

"Liu Chang is in chaos. Liu Chang is in chaos"

Cao Can murmured, but the soldier beside him scolded angrily: "Old man, if you dare to call the king's name, I will punish your clan first!!"

Cao Can was stunned for a moment, and the counselor on the side stood up angrily, "How dare you wait?" Before he could finish his words, the two soldiers beside him kicked him over and dragged him out. The counselor was frightened and hurried. Begging for mercy, Cao Can just stared blankly at this scene, the soldier threw the counselor out of the door and came back again.

At this moment, someone suddenly came, and Liu Buhao had a few words with that person before nodding his head.

"Cao Xiang, please go to Xuan Shi Hall."

When Cao Can came to the Xuanshi Hall, he found that the ministers had already arrived and were sitting on both sides. Cao Can said nothing, leaning on crutches, slowly walked to the side, the ministers bowed their heads, but no one dared to After greeting him, Cao Can sat down alone and looked ahead.

The emperor sat in the upper seat, his face looked very ugly.

The queen mother was not there, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and everyone was just silent.

"Hahaha~~"

With a burst of laughter, Liu Chang walked into the Xuanshi Hall. When he walked in, the eyes of the ministers all focused on the young man.Liu Chang smiled and walked in front of Liu Ying, and greeted the emperor, "Brother! All the outlaws have been caught!"

Liu Ying's face was stern, but hesitant.

Because the crimes of the Cao family's nephews and nephews were not made up by Liu Chang himself. These noble children, as long as they dig deep, they can dig up some things, and none of them are clean, and this time, it is the court. Wei was doing it, but Liu Chang didn't participate at all on the bright side.

This puts the Son of Heaven in a dilemma.

Liu Chang immediately sat on the left side of the emperor and looked at the surrounding ministers.

"Zhou Gong. I heard that some people criticized the king, saying that the empress dowager was authoritative and oppressed the emperor. What kind of punishment should be given to such a person?"

Zhou Bo said seriously: "Kill it."

"Very well, yes, it should be executed!"

"However, the Queen Mother is merciful and will no longer be punished by words. It's just that I am not as good-hearted as the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is my mother. If someone insults me, I should do it myself. What do you think? Is such a behavior of a widow in line with etiquette?"

Shusun Tong forced a smile, "Your Majesty, this is an act of filial piety, if the mother is humiliated, the son can push the blade!"

"Hahaha~~~"

Liu Chang raised his head and laughed.

"The big man is still weak, and although there are holy masters and worthy ministers, he is still unable to deal with the strong external enemies. At this moment, it is even more necessary for the group of ministers to work together to govern the big man. It is Fujun, what she does, what you do, what I do, there is no difference. She is assisting the emperor and governing the big man."

"Fathers Zhong have grown up with me, but they have followed Emperor Gao's achievements in founding the country. I shouldn't be arrogant here. There are always people who want to humiliate our orphans and widows. It's disrespectful, even the messengers he sent dared to beat him. The empress dowager assists the emperor, and some people say that the empress dowager deceives the king. Are the fathers of Zhong worried that the world will change hands? Or are they worried that their power will not be as good as before?"

"Thanks, there are still virtuous people in the DPRK!"

"Father Zhong!"

Liu Chang bowed towards Chen Ping, and immediately said, "If you hadn't pointed it out many times, I'd be afraid of getting up early in the morning and causing trouble!"

Chen Ping's face twitched, but he didn't speak.

Liu Chang took a few steps and said, "You are all people I respect, but I want everyone to know that Emperor Gao is no longer there, and the current emperor is sitting there!"

"The princes can assist the emperor and govern the country with peace of mind, so that the people of the Han Dynasty can be well-dressed and defended against strong enemies from outside. This is more important than anything else!!"

"The rest, there are widows and brothers, don't bother fathers."

Only then did Liu Chang come to Cao Can, lowered his head, and looked at Cao Can.

"We are strong, you can rest!"

Cao Can closed his eyes, unable to refute.

Liu Chang then sat back to his seat and looked at Tingwei. Wang Tianqi hurriedly got up and asked, "Your Majesty, what should I do with these prisoners?"

Liu Ying hesitated for a long time before she said, "Look at the Queen's friendship, let's take it lightly."

"only!!!"

At the end of the court meeting, the group of ministers filed out. In today's court meeting, Chang Liu gave them a great sense of oppression. This sense of oppression did not come from Chang Liu himself, but from the ability he showed. In an instant, Chang'an was under martial law, and the Southern Army Tingwei dispatched to arrest all the new relatives' clans, and they couldn't even get out of the gate of the mansion.

When they were besieged in their own mansion, they just realized that in Chang'an, the sky has already changed, and they have long lost the ability to resist. Unless the queen mother is gone, otherwise in this Chang'an, they are lambs to be slaughtered.

The performance of the princes is also extremely strong, especially Liu Chang.

Even if the queen mother is gone, as long as this fellow is still there, they are still lambs to be slaughtered.

As for the matter of the queen mother's dictatorship, from this day on, I'm afraid no one will dare to mention it again.

Inside Han Xin Mansion.

When Liu Chang showed off his deeds, Han Xin shook his head regretfully.

"Why don't you just refuse to be emperor?"

"My lord, when driving a chariot, beheading a powerful enemy, drinking its blood, and keeping the people of the four quarters safe, how can you live in a deep palace?!"

"When Emperor Gao was here, it was like this."

"Yes, so every time he goes out, there are a lot of troubles in the city waiting for him to come back to solve! Master, don't think about it, I'm most afraid of trouble, just those playlists, you let me see, I can't read three copies, I have to Sleep. Father can at least sit down and watch it, I can't, not to mention, the second brother is also constantly learning, one day, he will become a qualified emperor!"

Han Xin looked at him, "There are a lot of things, it's not that you don't have to do it if you don't want to do it."

"Oh, others may be like this, but I'm different. I don't want to do it. Even if my father climbed out of Changling to force me, I won't do it!!"

Han Xin didn't tell him any more, just asked: "Did King Yan agree? Who will lead the army this time?"

"I agreed. Naturally, it will be Li Zuoche. There are nearly a million heads of livestock. If you grab it, hahaha, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be able to eat meat immediately!"

"Don't underestimate Mo Dun, since there are plenty of supplies, he must be prepared and will never let you take it away easily."

"Don't worry, Master, the country of Yan is going to send someone to contact the Donghu people who have retreated into the mountains! With their involvement, Taiwei Li has already made all the preparations!"

In Ganquan Palace, Liu Ying didn't know what she was thinking.

The members of the Cao family were not executed, and most of them were sent to Tang State, where they wanted to shine and continue their lives for the rest of their lives, but they would probably never meet again.

The queen sat by the side, silent.

Liu Ying hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "You said. If I let you grow up"

"Your Majesty, rest."

Empress Cao interrupted Liu Ying because she knew what Liu Ying wanted to say.

Liu Ying lowered her head and pondered.

"He is more suitable than me."

ps: My body is getting worse and worse, I can't go on like this anymore. I will start losing weight today, with a goal of 68kg! !
