Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 213 Who is this little brat named Liu An? ?

When Liu Chang and the others arrived at Guannei, the climate had already begun to become cold again.

At this time, that's it, Liu Chang is still walking fast. If he walks slowly, it may take two or three years to go back and forth.

Liu Chang suddenly let out a long sigh.

Luan Bu said, "Your Majesty, do you miss the Queen Mother? In a few days, you will be able to reach Chang'an. Your Majesty doesn't have to do this."

Liu Chang shook his head and said, "I really miss my mother, but I'm not sighing because of this. This year, I can't eat the fruit from Heyang Hou's family."

"Your Majesty! Don't worry! Yafu and the others must have left us a lot!"

Xia Houzao said confidently.

"Hey, if you eat it every other season, you won't have that flavor!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, but we have eaten a lot of food along the way. The food from all over the country is also good."

Several guys talked about the food from various places, and Liu Chang said proudly: "When I return to Fengguo in the future, I will order all places to bring food to the widow!"

"Yes! If anyone dares not to send it, we will destroy his country!"

Fan Yan shouted.

Luan Bu raised his head, looked at the sky, and let out a long sigh.

At the moment, Jia Yi and Chao Cuo are still at the back of the team, and they are communicating in a friendly and cordial manner, discussing each other's knowledge. Chao Cuo was originally by Liu Chang's side, but Liu Chang was because of their quarrel. It got a little annoying because of the sound, so they let the two go to the last place to quarrel.

At this moment, the two are confiding in each other their views on each other's doctrines.

"Bitch Confucian!"

"Beasts of troubled times!"

"Confucian beetle!"

"Evil dog!"

Zhao Tuo, who was sitting in the carriage, watched them arguing with great interest, and sometimes applauded.

At this moment, the crisp sound of horse hooves suddenly came from a distance, followed by a group of knights, and Liu Buhao hurriedly arranged a defense. Looking at the knights in the distance, the knights rushed in front of Chang Liu and stopped. One of them got off his horse and hurriedly walked in front of Chang Liu.

"Meet King Tang!"

"The few people know you! Aren't you in charge of patrolling in the Southern Army? Why did you suddenly become the Northern Army?"

Liu Chang looked at the man and called.

The man bowed again and said, "Because of His Majesty's kindness, the King has moved the capital, may I ask Zhao Tuo to be here?"

"exist."

The guy in front of him was the iron-headed Southern Army soldier who always wanted to catch Liu Chang. Liu Chang pointed to the back and said, "Zhao Tuo is at the back, what are you doing?"

"According to the edict of the Empress Dowager, bring Zhao Tuo back to Chang'an!"

"It's superfluous, will I still take Zhao Tuo and escape back to Tang country?"

Liu Chang was very unhappy.

The knight hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I was ordered to protect the King of Nanyue and escort everyone to Chang'an. Please don't misunderstand me, Your Majesty!"

"Are you saying that the widow can't protect Zhao Tuo? Are there any thieves in the gate who can threaten the widow?"

Hearing Liu Chang's questioning, the knight was speechless.

"Humph!"

Liu Chang snorted coldly and continued on his way, while these Northern Army knights followed the crowd, paving the way for them and accompanying them.

Luan Bu hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, if these knights want to take Zhao Tuo away after arriving in Chang'an, they can make me walk with Zhang Budo."

Liu Chang didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

When they approached Chang'an, they saw a group of people who came to greet them from a distance. However, these people were not the ministers in the court, but the sages in Chang'an. Chen Mai led these people and was grinning stupidly when he saw Tang When the king's frame came, he ran over in a hurry and shouted, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

There are really some Huaguoshan postures.

Liu Chang also laughed, and hurriedly dismounted to meet Qunxian.

They had endless things to say, Liu Chang walked towards Chang'an surrounded by the crowd, and the people of Fan City chattered: "Your Majesty, I want to kill us, you are not here, we can't finish the game even if we want to. , the brothers can't get together at all, just Chen Mai, I haven't seen him for half a year! And Lu Chong, he's not coming out to meet us!"

Fan City people speak ill of these people.

Chen Mai just smiled and stood aside. At this moment, Chen Mai was approaching his crown year. If Liu Chang wasn't there, he really wouldn't be able to play with these dolls.Zhou Shengzhi, the eldest of the Qun Xian, will be crowned in one year. This year, Chen Mai and Fan Wei are about the same age.And Guan A is relatively young, only thirteen or fourteen years old, the two sides really can't play together.

The people of Fan City were about the same age as Liu Chang.

Liu Chang proudly told them about his experience in going to Nanyue this time, what he did to fight with Dazhao, and what he did to capture the King of Nanyue in the chaos of the army.

At this moment, the knights of the Northern Army brought Zhao Tuo to leave, and Liu Chang shouted: "Luan Bu, Zhang Budo, go follow the King of Nanyue. The King of Nanyue is old, and there must be people around him who take care of him!"

Luan Bu and Zhang Budo agreed immediately and followed. The soldiers of the Northern Army wanted to say something, but when they saw Liu Chang's expression, they didn't dare to say more, so they took them and left.

"The widow doesn't understand. Even the princes and kings like Ruyi are greeted when they come back. The widow is a dignified king of Tang, why is there no minister to welcome the widow? It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't come. Guan Ying, Chen Ping and others are not coming?"

Chen Mai said with a smile: "Probably because he was afraid of the king, he didn't dare to come."

"After the widow left, will something major happen in the city?"

"Some go and some come."

Chen Mai said with emotion: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Cao has passed away."

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly stiff.

Immediately, Chen Mai looked at Lu Tazhi, who was not far away, and said, "His. You have to mourn Duke Lu who also left."

"what?!!"

Liu Da was shocked, while Lu Tazhi's face instantly turned pale, and he just stared at them dully.

"Why I don't know."

Lu Tazhi was trembling all over, and Chen Mai said seriously: "Lu Gong has a last word, you are not allowed to influence you to do big things, and we are not allowed to tell the condolences, Lu Gong died in a good way"

"Father!!!"

Lu Tazhi suddenly burst into tears, and everyone surrounded him, comforting each other.

Liu Chang raised his head and sighed.

Looking at the grief-stricken Lu Tazhi, Liu Chang said to the person behind him, "The widow should go to the Lu Mansion first, and you can rest first!"

Liu Chang was about to follow Lu Ta, but Chen Mai reminded in a low voice, "There is also the Cao mansion."

"It's because of me that he couldn't meet Father Zhong. I'm going to take him to apologize to Duke Lu."

Liu Chang's face was stern, and everyone rode on the horses and ran towards the city. The soldiers at the city gate probably knew that King Tang was coming back. At that time, the city gate was opened as quickly as possible, everyone was evacuated, and there was no obstruction.

Everyone came to Lu Mansion non-stop, Lu Tazhi rushed into the mansion crying, and everyone in the mansion came out to greet them.Before Lu Tazhi's grandfather led them to Lu Wan's spiritual seat, Lu Tazhi cried again, and Liu Chang knelt beside Lu Tazhi and looked at the spiritual seat quietly.

Liu Chang felt the same grief in his heart, but he knew that it was a matter of time. Those fierce people who fought with my father at the beginning are all old. In the past few years, many people have left with my father. , Among them, there are those who hate Grandfather, some are loyal to Grandfather, some are fierce, and some are gentle. In any case, I hope their souls can rest in peace.

Liu Chang looked at the spiritual seat, as if to see Lu Wan smiling at him.

"Father Zhong. Don't worry, I will take good care of your family."

"I will treat him as my own brother"

Liu Chang bowed again and again.

He persuaded Lu Tazhi a few more words to let him feel at home and spend more time with his parents, and then he led everyone out of the house.

Alas, Lu Wan was born in the same year, the same month, and the same day as my father, and grew up with my father. After my father left, this father became reticent and basically stopped dealing with the affairs of the court. Chang Liu occasionally visited him. He and Lu Wan both took his hand and told him what they had done with Emperor Gao when they were young. They said it again and again, and it was never boring. Liu Chang never felt annoyed and listened carefully every time. follow his words.

Now, he also went to find his good brother.

Next, it's time to go to Cao Mansion.

For Cao Can, Liu Chang's feelings are very complicated.

On the one hand, Chang Liu actually admired this old man. The scars on the old man's body were all telling of his amazing achievements. He was stubborn and even dared to oppose the Queen Mother. He was the only minister who dared to arrest Chang Liu at the beginning. But the two have been hostile to each other over the years.

Liu Chang didn't like that he was in charge of everything by himself and despised the emperor, and Cao Can also didn't like Liu Chang's arrogance, taking the lead in illegal and disorderly conduct.

But no matter what, everyone is gone.

There was only a little grief in Liu Chang's heart. If he had been born decades earlier, he might have been able to become good friends with Cao Can, right?
The important thing is that Cao Can passed away, how sad should Cao Shu be?I couldn't be by her side at this time, alas.

When Liu Chang arrived at the Cao mansion, he was surprised to find that the gate of the Cao mansion was locked.

"How is this going??"

"Where's Cao Shu?!"

"Where's Cao Can's family?!"

Liu Chang asked in surprise.

Chen Mai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Duke Cao's son moved out very early, and he also took his mother. As for Mrs. Cao, before Duke Cao died, he was taken back to the palace, and there is no news."

Hearing this sentence, Liu Chang became extremely impatient.

Brought back to the palace? ?

"Why did you suddenly take me back to the palace??"

"We don't know either."

"Back to the palace!!"

Liu Chang bowed in the direction of Cao Mansion, and then hurriedly got on the horse and hurried towards the palace.If Cao Shu was taken back to the palace after Duke Cao's death, that would have been said in the past, but according to Chen Mai's words, before Cao Can's death, Cao Shu had already been taken back to the palace?Grandma has always disliked her very much, why did she suddenly take her back to the palace?
Is Cao Can's death also related to this?

Liu Chang's heart became more and more anxious. When he rushed to the palace, several of his friends were already waiting here.

"Hey, go back to the Tang Palace first, and I'll find you later!"

As Liu Chang said, he walked into the palace in a hurry. When Liu Chang walked into the familiar palace, the attendants he met greeted each other, but Liu Chang ignored them and quickly walked towards the Jiaofang Palace.

When Liu Chang hurried to the entrance of Jiaofang Hall, he happened to meet Liu Jian.

"Seventh brother!!"

Liu Jian was very happy, he hurried over and threw himself into Liu Chang's arms.

Liu Chang hugged him and hurriedly asked, "Jian? Do you know where your seventh sister-in-law is?"

"Sister Seven?"

"It's my wife!"

"Oh, I know! I know! She's in the Jiaofang Palace!"

Liu Chang breathed a sigh of relief, pinched Liu Jian's face, and said, "You Shuzi, how can you eat so fat, be careful to become like your fifth brother!"

Liu Jian smirked and asked, "Seventh brother, what gift did you bring me?"

"Gift? How much do you miss me?"

"I really want to! Really, I miss Seventh Brother! Bixiang, Qiang, Wusu, Hong, Chao, and An all want to!"

The people Liu Jian mentioned are all the sons that Liu Ying gave birth to over the years. Really, the Liu family probably has the talent to have sons. For example, the fourth brother started having sons at the age of 14, and now he has five sons. At the age of 15, Liu Ying began to have sons, one every year, and had several sons in a row. However, he and Empress Cao only had one son, Xiang, and the other sons were not born to the empress.

Liu Chang remembered that before he left, the second brother had only four sons, but Liu Jian said six names at once.

Liu Chang shook his head, "Second brother co-author gave birth to two more sons this year, right?"

"Forget it, I'll give you your gift later!"

Liu Chang put Liu Jian down and walked quickly into the Jiaofang Hall.

"Mother!!!"

When Liu grew up shouting and walked into the Jiaofang Hall.

Empress Lu in the hall was holding a child. She raised her head abruptly and looked at Chang Liu. Chang Chang Liu called out to his mother and was about to pounce, but Empress Lu suddenly reprimanded, "Be careful!"

She gestured to the child in her arms.

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed a little aggrieved: "Mum! I haven't seen you for more than a year. Don't just focus on my grandson. Look, I've lost weight. However, I have a beard, look at it."

Seeing that Chang Liu was about to chatter and start acting like a spoiled child, Empress Lu glanced at him and said, "Come on, look at the child."

Liu Chang was very reluctant, walked to Empress Lu's side, and glanced down at the little cub in her arms.

The little guy looked about a year old. He frowned, clenched his fists tightly, and his face was a little fierce. At this moment, he was gently sleeping in Empress Lu's arms.

"Hey, why can't my second brother get rid of this bad habit, and this has given birth to another son? I am obsessed with women's sex all day long, why can't I learn from me?"

"This gave birth to another ugly doll!"

Empress Lu sneered, her eyes staring straight at Liu Chang, "It's really an ugly baby."

At this moment, a palace maid supported a person out of the inner room. Liu Chang looked up and saw that it was Cao Shu who walked in.

When Cao Shu saw Liu Chang, she lowered her head shyly, "My concubine pays respect to the king."

"cough cough. you"

"Mother.. this is"

"You bastard!! You are too embarrassed to say that your second brother! Your second brother has a son, at least after the Ming media is married! What about you?!"

Empress Lu suddenly cursed.

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the doll again, and his mouth gradually grew.

He trembled and said, "Mother. Don't tell me it's mine"

"Yes! It's your son!! You and Cao Shu's son!"

Liu Chang was stunned and dumbfounded.

After a trip to South Vietnam, when I came back, I found my mother holding her son.

Liu Chang couldn't react for a long time.

When Empress Lu handed the child to him to hold, Liu Chang hurriedly hugged the child, feeling extremely excited.

"How is this possible.. I am not myself or not me."

Liu Chang was completely confused. He looked at the little guy in his arms. The little guy opened his eyes at the moment, looked at the big man who was holding him, and grinned stupidly.Looking at this smile, at that moment, Liu Chang felt that his heart was about to melt. An unprecedented feeling appeared in his heart, making him unable to utter a single sentence, and he also began to grin and grin.

Seeing the two guys staring at each other smirking, Empress Lu shook her head, "Wrong hug, grab it from here!"

"Oh oh. Son, my son!"

"Hahaha, my son!"

Liu Chang just smirked.

"Mother, have you already taken a name??"

"Yes, my name is Liu An. What's wrong? Am I not qualified?"

"Ah, yes, of course there is, but why not be more domineering? Call it Liu Hu, or something like Liu Shi?"

Empress Lu gave him a white look, took the child from his arms, and handed it to Cao Shu. Cao Shu took it back to breastfeed the child. Seeing the mother and son walk in, Liu Chang scratched his head and sat blankly. At Empress Lu's side, "Mum. Why is it so sudden? Why do I have a son?"

"Hmph, you have the same virtue as your father! We even found someone with the surname Cao!"

Liu Chang lowered his head immediately. Speaking of which, when Liu Bang was young, he also found a surname Cao, and then had an illegitimate child without a name. It was their eldest brother Liu Fei.

Seeing Liu Chang's helpless appearance, Empress Lv said helplessly, "I have given an edict to marry you. Alas, Chang."

"Mother."

"It's time for you to grow up to be a father, and stop fooling around like you used to."

"I know."

"Mother.. can I"

"go Go!"

Empress Lu waved her hand.

Liu Chang smirked, sat in front of Cao Shu, and carefully stretched out his neck to look at her and Liu An in her arms.

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big event?"

"I'm afraid the king will be distracted."

"Hey. Actually, you won't be distracted, let me slow down first."

Liu Chang took a deep breath, calmed down, and then took the child again and looked at it seriously, good guy, looking at it this way, Liu Chang realized that this guy is so similar to himself, especially the smirk. In the same way, Liu Chang couldn't help shouting: "An, I am your father! Come on, call me father! Father!"

"The child is still young... he can only turn over, how can he call someone?"

"Hahaha, I was thinking of giving you a surprise, but you gave me a fright. I'm already a father, Chang Liu??"

"Hahaha~~"

Liu Chang looked at the child in his arms and just kept laughing.

"Right!! I have to write a letter immediately! I have to write a letter to Ruyi! I have a son!! Hahaha!"

ps: In history, Liu Ying was only 23 years old when she passed away, but she had six sons. Well, during this period, she basically became a father at the age of fifteen or sixteen. The same is true for the King of Huainan in history. There are four sons, the oldest one is already able to enter the country, and the rest of the princes are almost the same.
