Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 806 The difference is far (updated)
"Daddy Zhong~~~"

Liu Rong, who was originally very thin, now sitting on Liu Chang's lap, looked even more petite.

From a distance, he doesn't seem to be as big as Liu Chang's arm.

Seeing this burly father for the first time, the little guy was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Liu Chang in astonishment. He remained in a sluggish state for a long time. Liu Qi was very impatient and reminded him several times. See you, and the little guy just said, "You are so tall!"

Instead of being angry, Liu Chang was very happy. He hugged the little guy on his lap and asked about his journey.

Liu Qi sat at the bottom in embarrassment, while Queen Bo Ji was chatting with Cao Shu and others on the other side.

"Does your father usually beat you?"

"Don't hit me, but he will scold me."

"What are you scolding?"

Liu Rong secretly glanced at Liu Qi, but dared not speak.

Liu Chang patted his chest, "Don't be afraid, just say it!"

"Calling Shuzi."

Liu Dachang laughed and patted his head, "This is not scolding you, this is pampering you."

Liu Rong thought for a moment, and said, "No, father, this must be a curse word. When I said that to others like my father, I was beaten up."

"Who did you tell that to?"

"Lieutenant Xiahou Guo."

Liu Chang suddenly raised his head and laughed.

The overall atmosphere is good, Liu Chang likes this child very much, but Liu Qi has to rush to the southern country, and Liu Chang can't keep them, so he seriously asks Liu Qi to accompany his family in the south and be filial In other words, let them go back to rest.

After receiving the order from the temple, Liu Qi led the queen and eldest son Liu Rong and set off. Now that they arrived in Chang'an, it was natural that the queen and the children should pay homage to the emperor before continuing on their way.

Because of the funeral, Liu Chang did not hold a banquet, but simply had a meal. After the family left, Cao Shu sat beside Liu Chang worriedly and sighed.

"Oh, this queen is afraid that she will be deposed."

Liu Chang was taken aback, and looked at Cao Shu in surprise, "Why did you say that? Li Ji has been placed under house arrest, and even her eldest son has been handed over to the queen to be raised, and has become the legitimate prince of Xiting Kingdom today. Qi abolished her do what?"

Cao Shu shook her head, "This queen is very virtuous, but I observed them today and found that Qi was very indifferent to her, and there was no love in his eyes. When he saw His Majesty, he first talked about himself and the child of that concubine's room. When I was talking with the queen, the queen was timid and did not dare to tell me the truth. The reason why Qi kept the queen was because of the old lady. Now that the old lady is gone, the status of the queen may be I can't keep it either."

Liu Chang shook his head, "Impossible, he is ready to establish Rong as the crown prince, and the queen's status is justified. If he changes to a new queen, what will happen to this child? Will he be abolished together?"

Cao Shu said calmly: "Your Majesty, I am far inferior to you when it comes to temple affairs, but you don't know much about family affairs. You have never paid attention to the affairs of the harem. There was a mother before, and now I take care of it." It's normal that you can't see through. Qi really doesn't have much love for Rong, but he feels a little bit of blame, maybe because of his mother, or maybe because of his own lack of ability, he can't meet Qi's expectations Besides, he is planning to become the crown prince, but he hasn't done so yet, so why is he always procrastinating? He wanted to abolish the queen, but he was worried about the old lady and the king of Wu, so he didn't take action just now."

Hearing Cao Shu's explanation, Liu Chang thought about the scene just now, and the joy on his face immediately dissipated a lot.

"Although I shouldn't interfere too much in the family affairs of the princes and kings, this child Rong reminds me of my elder brother. This child has a kind heart, is not good at words, and is quite sincere."

Cao Shu said seriously: "Although Your Majesty is his elder, it is hard to say much about these matters."

"What is the name of that concubine that Qi loves?"

"Not sure, it seems to be Wang Ji."

"Wang Ji, right? Oh, the one who gave birth to the piglet."

Liu Chang figured it out, and immediately stroked his chin lightly, he asked: "Wait a while, I want to bring that kid named Xiaozhu to Chang'an, and keep him with Qian by his side."

Cao Shu was very surprised. After thinking for a while, she immediately understood Liu Chang's intentions, "Is your majesty afraid that the son of your favorite concubine will take Rong's place? Keep him by your side, and at least he can be sealed out in the future. There is no need to change the prince again, but, just because of some speculation, is it necessary for His Majesty to do this?"

Liu Chang laughed, "I don't know, anyway, I somehow feel that this little pig is destined to me. Isn't it reasonable that the wild boar teaches the little pig? His name may be related to me!"

Cao Shu smiled, "Your Majesty is planning to teach some clan disciples to guard the new Quartet instead of you?"

"It's almost the same reason."

Naturally, Liu Qi didn't know Liu Chang's thoughts. At this moment, he was stern, sitting in the carriage, and continued to drive towards the south, while the queen and Liu Rong were both sitting in the carriage behind, not with him.

The young Liu Rong was raised by the queen for a period of time. Although he would still ask his biological mother sometimes, he had already trusted the queen extremely.

He was even happier staying by the queen's side than being by his own mother's side.

Because the queen would not scold him, beat him, or be cruel to him, and would not force him to pretend to be sick or lie in front of Father, because she had no children, she doted on him a lot.

It was rare for Liu Rong to come to the Central Plains to play. Looking at the situation outside from the car window, Liu Rong exclaimed again and again, his eyes full of surprises. He wanted to try everything, but unfortunately, his father didn't allow it, so he just kept on going.

The queen looked at the little guy sitting in front of her, but there was a touch of sadness in her eyes.

The only pillar was gone. Since learning of the old lady's death, Liu Qi never came to her again, and his attitude became obviously indifferent. The queen didn't blame the other party for being ruthless, but felt that she was not so lucky. She didn't give birth to a son for him, but at this moment, looking at Liu Rong in front of her, she only had worries in her heart. If she was deposed, what would Rong do?His identity as a legitimate son would no longer exist, and it didn't matter if he lost his power, as long as he was afraid that the child would be in danger.

Feeling uneasy, they changed boats again, and after a long, long journey, they finally arrived in the country of Wu.

The Queen grew up in the Wu Kingdom and was no stranger to this place, but Liu Rong was very pleasantly surprised. Looking at this scene that he had never seen before, he kept shouting.

The matter was a bit embarrassing, because when Liu Qi came here, the old lady's funeral had already passed, and even everyone almost forgot about it.

Liu Heng had already left the south, hurried back to the temple, and continued to confront Jia Yi.

The only one who came to meet them was Liu Zhun, the current prince of Wu.

Liu Heng's original eldest son died young and had no children, so he took his second son Liu Zhun as the prince. Except for the second son Liu Zhun, there were also Liu Shan and Liu Shun. He and Liu Qi belonged to half brothers.

Although he is the son of a concubine, he did not look down on Liu Qi as a concubine.

Liu Zhun is extremely polite to him. The two sides may not have deep feelings, but after all, they are brothers, and there is no conflict of interest. Xiting Kingdom is becoming more and more powerful. Don't dare to be rude.

Liu Zhun is the second son of Liu Heng. His figure is quite similar to that of the king of Liang. On par with my father, wearing mended clothes, the whole person is very simple, just like Ruyi, I imitate my father in every way, although I haven't learned much about it, but it looks decent.

"Fifth brother!! You are finally here!"

"How many years have we not seen each other!"

Liu Zhun wiped away his tears, and held Liu Qi's hand affectionately. At this moment, Liu Qi also had tears in his eyes, one big brother at a time. When the two brothers met, they looked so warm.

"Let's go, Mom is waiting for you!"

The mother Liu Zhun was talking about was naturally not Dou Yifang, but Queen Lu.

Although Liu Heng prefers Dou Yi's room, the queen's position is still unshakable.

After all, her backstage hasn't fallen yet. Even if it falls one day, the Zhong family in the world is not abolished at will. If you want to abolish her, I am afraid that Lu Lu, Lu Chan and others will all be unable to sit still. Then There is going to be a big problem.

This Queen Lu, like other queens, has inherited the family style of the Lu family, being arrogant and rude.

It's not unreasonable that Liu Heng doesn't like her. Compared with other princes and queens Lu, she is even worse, because she is jealous and irritable. She doesn't allow any woman to touch Liu Heng. Once she finds out, she will kill people , even a kind person like Liu Heng was forced beyond endurance.Later, Empress Lu couldn't stand it anymore, and ordered her not to do so, and gave her maid, Dou Yifang, to Liu Heng, which was probably regarded as compensation. Of course, it was also a warning to the queen. If you want to kill others, my maid You try to move one?
Therefore, Dou Yifang became the only concubine who could accompany Liu Heng.

The queen really didn't dare to do anything to her, after all, until now, Dou Yifang still had contact with Queen Lu, if she did something to her, his distant elder probably wouldn't be able to tolerate him.

She also understands this very well.

Liu Qixian went to pay homage to his great-grandmother. He cried so sadly that he almost fainted. Liu Zhun and others couldn't help crying when they saw it, but Liu Rong was so frightened that he couldn't cry and just hid in the Behind the mother, the queen's eyes were full of sadness, standing there alone, her eyes were red.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Qi came to the palace to meet other people, and the first thing he wanted to do was to meet Queen Lu.

Facing Queen Lu, the titular mother, Liu Qi's attitude was unmistakable. He respectfully bowed to the queen, and the queen was a little dazed when she saw this scene. Liu Zhun on the side reminded him that the queen had just let him get up, and Liu Qi immediately offered his gift and asked his wife to come to see his mother.

Dou Yifang was standing on the left, looking at her son quietly. Liu Qi never spoke to her from the beginning to the end, and Dou Yifang's expression did not change at all.

Instead, it was Liu Wu who was standing among the crowd, looking very unhappy.

Liu Qi treated each other with courtesy, and of course Queen Lu did not dare to be rude to him. Although he was his own son, he was still a prince and king after all. If he was humiliated, who knows if it would disturb the temple.

"My son is away all year round and cannot serve you. I only hope that my brothers can serve you instead of me."

"Um, okay."

"My son is here this time, and I will definitely spend more time with you to fulfill my filial piety."

"well."

Queen Lu probably still wasn't used to this kind of intimacy, so she hurriedly replied a few words, then felt embarrassed to stay here, and left here on the grounds of being tired.Liu Zhun said goodbye with a smile, and the other two elder brothers looked at Liu Qi with some unkind eyes at the moment, Liu Shan even bumped Liu Qi's shoulder directly, and said in a low voice: "Take care of your brother."

Now, only Dou Yifang and his sons were left in the hall.

Liu Wu was very displeased, and stepped forward and said, "Brother! You are now a prince! Why are you so cowardly?!"

Liu Qi glared at him and scolded: "What big brother, I'm your fifth brother!"

"When you didn't come, they didn't recognize me as a younger brother! They said I was a concubine and always bullied me!"

Dou Yifang stopped Liu Wu, looked at Liu Qi, looked at Liu Qi seriously for a moment, and then smiled, "Very good."

Liu Qi hurriedly saluted and said, "Auntie, please forgive my unfilial ministers."

"Get up, you are coming back this time, even the queen has been more polite to me, I have heard about your affairs in Xiting Kingdom, and your father praises you very much"

As Dou Yifang spoke, he couldn't help looking behind him, the queen hurried forward to salute, Dou Yifang was also very tolerant to her, and asked her to get up and finally picked up Liu Rong, the grandson.

The whole family was happy and harmonious, even Liu Qi seemed to be completely relaxed at the moment, and his face finally became more natural.

Liu Wu stood beside him very aggrieved, "Brother, I really can't stay here anymore. I can't be crowned king, so why don't you take me back to the Xiting Kingdom? I'll be an official for you." Even if it’s to watch the door for you?”

"Here, my mother was bullied by the queen, but I didn't dare to fight back. I was bullied myself, and I didn't dare to fight back. I really don't want to stay here anymore."

"Yeah, brother, we don't want to stay."

Liu Can and Liu Yi, who were younger, also hurriedly said that these two were not Dou Yifang's biological sons, and their grandmother had an accident and was no longer alive. If you think about it, you can know the reason. Poor Dou Yifang They raised them together with their son Wu, and they also treated Dou Yifang as their own mother.

Liu Qi looked at them, frowned slowly, and asked, "Is Liu Zhun bullying you too?"

"No, he is still good to us, that is, that kindness, people call it whatever they lack, and it is true, this guy is the worst, he often bullies us, and that queen."

When Liu Shen started talking, Liu Qi nodded, "Okay, I understand, don't need to say more."

"Brother, you are a vassal king, can't you stand up for us?"

"Don't talk nonsense, how can you take action against your own brothers?"

Liu Qi replied very calmly.

Liu Qi immediately stayed here, and for a few days, he went to visit Queen Lu very respectfully, with an extremely respectful attitude. He even went to visit Queen Lu many times in one day, and he kept saying good things. The queen was getting a little impatient with him, and implicitly expressed that he could not come, but Liu Qi seemed not to understand, insisting on coming to see him, Queen Lu couldn't bear it anymore, and then went out to play and avoid Liu Qi, Liu Qi went to see him again Each of my elder brothers went to visit them, and they came to visit them as younger brothers, with a very respectful attitude.

Except for Liu Zhun, the other two disappeared behind closed doors.

On this day, after Liu Qi visited them again, he had dinner with many brothers when he returned home.

Everyone didn't look very happy.

Dou Yifang sat on it with a smile. For her, it was already a great joy for her sons to gather together.

She cheerfully gave meat to her eldest grandson, and then gave meat to Liu Wu.

When the meal was over, Dou Yifang couldn't help but said: "Qi, your younger brother Wu has read a lot in these years and has some talents, but because of his status as a bastard, he doesn't get much chance. You are now a prince and king, if you can bring him along, I will have no regrets in this life."

Liu Qi's hands trembled for a moment, and then he said helplessly: "Mum, Wu has a special status, he belongs to the clan, it doesn't mean that I can use him if I want."

"But what's the use of this clan? There are no benefits, and you will be humiliated everywhere. Qi, your brother stays here, and sooner or later something big will happen. I want your father to tell His Majesty that the generals will also be promoted, but your father Do not listen"

"Your brother is actually not bad, he just needs a chance, even compared with you, he is not bad, you don't know, your brother is already able to compete with those big guys at his age"

Liu Qi was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, I will find a way, don't worry, Mom."

When the dinner was over, Liu Wu took the initiative to find his elder brother.

"Brother, don't be embarrassed because of my affairs. It's okay. If we all leave, who will protect my mother? Think about the mother of Shen Heyi, this country of Wu is also very dangerous."

"I have to stay to protect my mother. Besides, if I stay here, I may not have the opportunity to display my talents. By the way, brother, don't you know? I'm very good at writing prose, listen to me."

Liu Qi listened to his younger brother very calmly, and then said, "Don't worry, you won't be bullied in the future."

"what?"

"Brother is going to make a move?"

"No, I wrote a letter."

Liu Wu was taken aback, and then hurriedly said: "I see, brother is going to write a letter to His Majesty, right? As long as His Majesty knows what's going on here, they will never dare to bully us again!!"

Liu Qi turned his head slowly, looked at Liu Wu with a smile, and rubbed his head.

"Learn slowly."

At this moment, the soldiers at the post station were carrying a letter and running towards Chang'an with all their might.

The final destination of this letter is not Houde Hall.

Instead, Changle Palace.

Shoudian.

ps: Naigong did what he said, and the third update will be delivered. I am tired, I am going to sleep now, and I am numb and dizzy!
