Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 685 Shuzi
"Is this Taixue question so difficult?? Even you can't pass it??"

Zhang Buyi looked suspiciously at Liu Bo, who was kneeling in front of him, with a displeased expression on his face.

"My talent is dull, no better than my brother."

Liu Bo replied honestly.

"Could it be done on purpose? To prevent those Chehous from talking about their status?"

Liu Bo lowered his head and did not answer.

Liu Yan walked up helplessly, put the food in front of Liu Bo, and said to Zhang Buyi, "It's rare for a child to come to see us, so don't ask about these things. Bo is a prince and king, and he spends all day in Taixue. Are you going to be a doctor?"

Liu Yan looked at Liu Bo again with a smile, "Eat these first, I know you are good at meat, and I have a sheep slaughtered on purpose, and I have to wait for a while."

"Thank you mother-in-law."

Zhang Buyi had a cold attitude and sat on the side without saying a word, but Liu Yan was very enthusiastic and asked about Liu Bo's recent situation, "Since we don't want to study too much, what preparations do we have?"

"My teacher told me that if you want to govern the country, it is useless to just stay in the Taixue and study. You have to walk around and look at the local conditions. Reading is not as good as walking. I came this time to Saying goodbye to you two, I plan to go to various parts of the Han Dynasty to accumulate some experience in governing the country before going to the country."

Liu Yan was a little worried, "It's not an easy journey, but you are quite strong, so you probably don't have to worry about it. How long are you going?"

Zhang Buyi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately put on the appearance of the head of the family, "What are you asking these for? Do you think you are going out in the wild? This is a major matter of governing the country. What are you meddling in?"

Liu Yan lowered her head obediently and did not ask any more questions.

Zhang Buyi waved his hand, "It's a good thing if you want to go to various places, but you have to remember that going to a place is not to accumulate experience in governing the country, and you don't have the qualifications to govern the country. The main thing is to look at the place. If you don’t know the real situation, you don’t know what kind of advice to listen to, and you are easily deceived by people around you. Your trip this time is the most important thing. It’s best not to use your identity as the acting king, and change it to another one.”

"only."

"You are not young anymore, you must know how to share the pressure for your father. Your father is an emperor through the ages, and the first emperor of merit throughout the ages. Daiguo is the button to the north, the gateway beyond the Great Wall, and Daiguo is stable. , the north is peaceful, and the world is peaceful. Among the princes today, you are the only one who can be appointed. The prince is like the king of Wu, the king of Xia is like the king of Zhao, and the king of the north is like the king of Changsha. As for you, then It is quite similar to the Supreme Emperor. For the princes of a place, being similar to the Supreme Emperor is not a bad thing."

"It's just that you must not live in mediocrity, and you can't just stop doing something just because His Majesty didn't ask for it."

Zhang Buyi explained a lot, and Liu Bo listened very carefully.

After the family banquet, Zhang Buyi quickly left here without saying anything.

Liu Yan smiled and said, "Your father-in-law has always been like this, don't blame him."

"Don't dare."

"Well, what are you doing outside? Come in!"

Liu Yan said, and suddenly, a woman who was only twenty-eight years old walked into the inner room. She looked exactly the same as Zhang Buyi, not only in appearance, but also in her temperament. In order to be cold, she didn't feel shy at all. She walked to Grandma's side and sat down, generously.

Liu Bo scratched his head, a little speechless.

"Bo is going to leave Chang'an for a while, when the time comes, you can send him off"

The girl raised her head and looked at Liu Bo.

Liu Bo hastily grinned, revealing an ancestral smirk.

Liu Yan found an excuse, left the table in a hurry, and walked to the study with a smile. Zhang Buyi was sitting in front of the desk at the moment, writing hard. Liu Yan couldn't help complaining: "Bo is not an outsider, my son-in-law, Why are you so indifferent?"

"I've already had dinner with him, what do you want me to do? Give him another one just to be more enthusiastic?"

Zhang Buyi frowned, and put down the pen in his hand, "If he wasn't my son-in-law, I wouldn't even let him in! None of these younger generations are successful!"

He complained and rubbed his forehead again, looking a little tangled.

Liu Yan hurried forward and gently rubbed his forehead, "What is my beloved worried about?"

Zhang Buyi didn't answer her, but just pondered.

At present, the division of responsibilities between the left and right ministers is not very clear in Dahan, and Wanshi's left and right ministers can basically intervene in all domestic affairs. Well, it's not the position that counts, but the person who holds it.Although Zhang Cang is right-hand minister, he doesn't pay much attention to power, and he is not a very powerful person. He mainly holds on to the two great powers appointed by Nongsang and officials. In these two aspects, whether it is Neither Zhang Buyi nor Chao Cuo could intervene, and the rest of the affairs were assigned to their purview.

Zhang Buyi's current main responsibility is engineering.

In fact, his authority is still very large. He is responsible for all the corvee work in the country, including road construction, city building, canal opening, water control, and repairs.

But Zhang Buyi's troubles today are obviously not because of these chores in his hands.

"In the past few days, I have visited His Majesty several times, but I have not been able to see each other."

"what?"

Zhang Buyi looked at Liu Yan seriously, "The Supreme Emperor is probably really dying."

Inside the Quanning Hall, the atmosphere was very solemn.

The servants and maids who came in and out all lowered their heads, the deep worry was almost engraved on their faces, and even their steps appeared to be hasty.

Liu Ying was lying on the bed, her chest rising and falling slightly.

He looked more haggard than before, his face was as pale as paper, his lips were faintly pale, and his eyes had lost their luster.

Da Cao was sitting beside him, tears streaming down his face.

Liu Chang sat on the other side with an extremely serious expression.

"Long."

Liu Ying suddenly called out, and Liu Chang gently covered her elder brother's hand.

"The children will be left to you. Discipline them well."

Liu Ying spoke weakly, and suddenly took another deep breath, and couldn't help but clenched Liu Chang's hand tightly.

"Second brother, don't say such things, Xia Wu and they can"

Liu Ying just shook her head slightly, breathing hard.

"After I die, bury me first in Xia, and then build the imperial mausoleum. I know you want to mausoleum me...me."

"Second brother, stop talking, Xia Wuqi!!!"

Liu Chang turned his head abruptly, Xia Wuqiu who was not far away was trembling all over, he was boiling medicine at the moment, his forehead was covered with sweat, when he heard the emperor's roar, he sped up the speed in his hand again.

"Don't make it difficult. Don't make it difficult for them."

Liu Ying struggled and said.

"I have accomplished nothing in my life. If I can help you a little bit after death, I must have a funeral."

Liu Ying didn't say it completely, but Liu Chang already understood what the elder brother was going to say in his heart. In fact, the imperial tomb of the elder brother had been built a long time ago, and the distance from the Changling Mausoleum was not too far away. Hearing what the elder brother meant, he I hope to be buried in the country of Xia. I buried him first, and then started to build mausoleums in the surrounding area. Of course, this is to help me better implement the migration. Liu Ying is also the emperor, and his mausoleum is naturally It is necessary to build a mausoleum to protect it.

Liu Chang didn't speak, only an inexplicable fear in his heart, which plunged him into a great uneasiness, he was so frightened that he was trembling all over, it seemed that he had never been so afraid.

"Second brother, you'll be fine."

"Boom, boom, boom"

There was a sound of crutches leaning on the ground outside the door, and soon, the Empress Dowager walked in with the support of two servants. Empress Lu's face was very calm, but there was a trace of sadness in her eyes. She didn't say anything, just With the support of the attendant, she walked to Liu Ying's side. Liu Chang subconsciously stepped aside and she sat down.

"Mother."

Seeing Empress Lu, Liu Ying suddenly burst into tears.

"My son is not good enough, my son is ashamed to be right"

"Stop talking about this, do you have anything else to entrust?"

Empress Lu asked.

Liu Yingping lay down, thought for a while, and then said: "When Erchen was a guest at Han Ying's house, I borrowed his Guqin and played with it. Don't forget to return it to him."

"Then does anyone else have something to borrow from you?"

"I do not remember"

Liu Chang took a deep breath, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and he was even a little out of breath.

Liu Ying's voice became lower and lower, and her breathing became weaker and weaker.

He muttered something to himself, but his face suddenly became uneasy, the corners of his eyes twitched, the veins on his forehead popped up, as if he had a nightmare, and tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes again.

Liu Chang hastily held his hand, with tears in his tiger eyes.

Empress Lu looked at him quietly, and reached out her hand, stroking his cheek gently.

The rough hand brushed the pale face, Liu Ying stopped struggling, her frown relaxed, and her face calmed down.

"Mother."

A smile appeared on Liu Ying's face.

"Father."

Liu Ying muttered in a low voice, and stopped moving. Under the caress of her mother, he fell asleep, with a calm face and a smile on his mouth. Empress Lu's hand trembled, but she was still stroking the eldest son , but his whole body was trembling slightly, but Liu Chang almost collapsed at this moment. He held his elder brother's hand tightly, tears kept falling, and his whole body was suppressed to the extreme, unable to make a sound.

"Second Brother!!!!"

With a roar, Liu Chang wailed loudly.

For so many years, Liu Chang had never cried so sadly and in such a state of embarrassment. At this moment, the strong man like a steel tower looked like a helpless child, crying heartbreakingly.

At the beginning of the cold winter of this year, the Supreme Emperor died and passed away.

The cry came from the Quanning Hall, and gradually resounded in the entire palace, followed by Chang'an, and even the whole world.

The reputation of the Supreme Emperor Liu Ying in various places is quite good. Even among the people at the bottom, he is an absolute wise king. Among the scholars, it is simply the death of the Supreme Emperor, a benevolent monarch like Yao, Shun and Yu, which quickly triggered the whole world. The mourning of the emperor, the whole world is ready to mourn for the emperor.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace is very bleak, and the whole palace is in mourning.

At present, there are many things that need to be done, such as the matter of keeping the filial piety of the Supreme Emperor, the matter of going to the earth, and the posthumous title, whether it can be worshiped in the ancestral temple, etc.
But Liu Chang really didn't have the mind to deal with these things. For several days, the emperor stayed in the Hall of Houde, shutting himself out.

At present, these matters are all handled by Prince Liu An.

Liu An's expression is also haggard, his eyes are red and swollen. Although he thinks a lot, he also has deep feelings for his uncle Liu Ying. Liu Ying treats them very well. First of all, he wants to receive those who come to the funeral Royals.

Lu Lu accompanied Liu An to handle this matter.

Liu Le arrived first. She was deeply saddened because she could not see her brother for the last time. She hugged Liu An and cried bitterly, almost fainting.

Zhang Yan and Zhang Yan also rushed to see off uncle.

Mrs. Fan, who originally planned to leave, also came to see him off with a sad face at this moment.

Pingyang Hou struggled to get up from the sick bed and came to see him off.

While receiving these people, Liu An was discussing the burial with the ministers.

"Uncle's last words were to be buried in the Kingdom of Xia and build the imperial mausoleum there. But the imperial tomb cannot be built in a few years. Besides, he had already built the mausoleum in Chang'an. How can this be sent to the Kingdom of Xia? Woolen cloth?"

"If it's buried on the spot, it's going against my uncle's last wish. What should I do?"

It can be said that Liu An is in a state of desperation, and his servants are not qualified to speak out about this kind of family affairs. For royal affairs, the royal family has to talk about it. If others criticize this matter, it will inevitably be a crime of disrespect.

"This matter, we still have to ask His Majesty to see how His Majesty plans to handle it."

Lu Lu spoke, and then asked: "How are you preparing for the funeral?"

"Everything has been arranged properly, and the county guards, princes and kings from all over the country have all conveyed it as well."

"Okay, then I will go to His Majesty to inquire about the burial. Your Highness will continue to receive her here."

Lu Lu hurriedly rushed towards Houde Hall. Several soldiers stood at the gate of Houde Hall with solemn faces. After seeing Lu Lu, they did not give way as before, but stood in front of him , "Your Majesty has an order. No one is allowed to disturb."

"Presumptuous! Do you even dare to stop me?!"

Lu Lu was furious, and roughly pushed away the soldiers in front of him, and was about to force his way in. The soldiers had no choice but to stop them desperately.

"Let him in"

Liu Chang's voice came from the hall, and the soldier let him go.

Lu Lu walked into the Hall of Houde, and the hall was actually quite dark at the moment. Liu Chang sat in a corner with a dispirited face, drooping his head, his clothes were a little dirty, and he couldn't see his expression.

Lu Lu frowned, and when he was about to step forward to comfort him, Liu Chang stood up. He stretched his muscles and took a few steps to sit on the upper seat. He calmly raised his head and looked at Lu Lu, "Go out!" What's up?"

Lu Lu carefully sat beside Liu Chang, "Your Majesty is alright?"

"No harm. So what if there is no harm? Just tell me, what happened?"

"**** left a last word to be buried in Xia, but..."

Liu Chang nodded, "I understand. And it will be buried in Chang'an."

"Kana last words"

Liu Chang glanced at Lu Lu, and said, "Build another city with Xia Guo to commemorate my second brother."

Lu Lu suddenly realized, "I understand, if the ministers object."

"Then send them to explain to my second brother"

Liu Chang said, and stood up again, "Is everyone here?"

"They're all here, the rest are still on their way."

"The crown prince issued an order to request the county guards in various places. When the kings came to the capital, Yafu was sent to guard the roads in various places."

"Well, go and prepare the burial with the officials. In addition, let them consider the posthumous name and temple name. My second brother is worthy enough to enter the temple. As for the posthumous name, let them think about it."

Lu Lu understood Liu Chang's hint, "Go and do your work, I have to go to my mother's side too."

After being alone for two days, Liu Chang finally went out. Although he looked quite haggard, his face was still calm, as if he had let go of his grief.Compared with Liu Chang's solitude, there are quite a few people here with the Queen Mother, Da Cao, the Queen, several concubines, including the children of Liu Ying's family, Zhang Yan, Liu Le and others, and the large group of Liu Chang who don't know each other. Almost all of my relatives are here. The crying here is the loudest. During these two days, the crying here has never stopped. Everyone who comes here starts crying first, and then starts to cry. Comfort the old lady who just lost her eldest son.

Surprisingly, the only one who didn't cry here was the old woman who lost her son.

The old lady was not too cruel to these relatives, she just nodded when she heard their comforting words, and there was no trace of impatience on her face.

The cries here formed a strange contrast with the silence of Houde Hall.

When Liu Chang arrived, an old man from the Lu family came forward crying and wanted to hold Liu Chang's hand. Liu Chang frowned and pushed him away, making the old man nearly fall over On the contrary, his expression was astonished, and the crying of Shoudian suddenly decreased a lot. When Liu Le rushed forward crying, Liu Chang's face was gentler, and he hugged the elder sister gently, and comforted him: "Elder sister Don't be like this, the second elder brother is driving with father and elder brother to have fun, drinking and carousing together. Presumably father will not give him up this time."

Liu Chang really doesn't know how to persuade people.

Empress Lu looked at Liu Chang with some worry, and looked at him as usual, then turned her head away and looked at the others.

Liu Chang looked at the noisy hall, and waved his hands displeased, "If you have nothing to do, go out."

Empress Lu snorted coldly, "Don't be so rude."

Then he said: "Since I have seen it, I can leave."

Those people hurriedly worshiped again, and then left the longevity hall, only those close relatives remained in the hall.

Liu Chang swaggered to Empress Lu's side and sat down.

Comparing his heart with his heart, he felt that Grandma's heart was probably not as peaceful as it seemed at the moment.

"Mom, I've taken care of everything, you don't have to worry."

"Ah."

"Mother, I may not be able to provoke you again in the future."

"Oh?"

"I used to be able to rely on my elder brother when I did something wrong. Even if I couldn't blame him, I could drag him into the water anyway, and we were beaten together. But in the future, I can only suffer alone."

"Short."

ps: I hope no one will say that there is no such thing as immortality in the historical texts that I started cutting again. In addition, Liu Ying in history was sick and short-lived. Thank you for liking the characters I created, but please don’t affect my life Thoughts, I am not trying to torture readers, this is just a normal plot, unfolding the situation of the next Zhuwang drama and in the book, he lived 26 years longer than in history
