Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 87 He Really Reverses

According to Gai Gong's instructions, Liu Chang usually read history books, practiced swordsmanship, and occasionally went to play with his friends when he was free, and his days were very fulfilling.Shang Fang's people are now following behind him with a charming smile, and they no longer dare to reject Liu Chang as they used to. They often come to ask about strange things.

"His Royal Highness, when refining gunpowder, will adding too much Shi Liuhuang blow people up? What's going on?"

"You are improving gunpowder in private??"

"No, no, we're just curious."

"The formula is very particular, don't mess around!"

"Don't worry, son, we are just curious. By the way, can the charcoal be replaced with something else?"

"It seems that burning honey with fire can achieve the same effect?"

"How many tests have you done??!"

"No, no, I heard it occasionally"

Gunpowder has been set as a high-level secret by Liu Bang and others. When outsiders ask, they don't know anything. Even when Liu Chang asks, Shang Fang's people don't tell it. The only people who can know the truth from their mouths are the emperor and the queen.

Unconsciously, Chang'an became cold again, Liu Bang was in a very bad mood, and went to worship his parents for three consecutive days, crying.

Chang'an seems to have calmed down again, and the wars in various places have also calmed down.

But Liu Chang in the palace knew that it was not the case at all. Father and mother started to quarrel again. No words were spoken, but more and more people came to Jiaofangdian. Every time they talked, Empress Lu would ask Liu Chang to leave, which made Liu Chang very unhappy.

Just don't trust me?Am I the one with the big mouth? ?
According to the gossip in Tianlu Pavilion, the parents quarreled because of the uncle's affairs. However, what surprised Liu Chang was that it seemed that his father wanted Lu Shizhi to be the prefect, but his mother refused to allow it. Thus began the quarrel.

They didn't feel anything, anyway, it's not a day or two for grandfather and grandma to quarrel, and they are used to it.

It's just that Liu Ying was at a loss these days, and he could always hear him muttering, "It's obvious that she's gone.. Why, why?"

Inside the Xuanshi Hall, Zhao Yao looked at Liu Bang seriously.

"King Yan wants to rebel!"

Liu Bang smiled and shook his head, "How could he rebel?"

"Your Majesty, this is an important matter and should be treated with caution. Earlier, King Yan said that Zhang Sheng colluded with the Huns, but later he sent a letter saying that it was a misunderstanding. The prisoners can prove that Zhang Sheng and Chen thief also colluded. If King Yan really killed Zhang Sheng, why not Bring his head? If there is a misunderstanding, why not bury him?"

"Your Majesty previously suspected that King Yan was under threat, but the messenger has already met King Yan, and there is nothing wrong with King Yan, he just used illness as an excuse and didn't want to see him more often. It doesn't seem like there is turmoil in Yan's country. It must be that King Yan was bewitched by Zhang Sheng and wanted to rebel!"

Zhao Yao explained it seriously, but Liu Bang disagreed.

"Among them, there must be some misunderstanding. He was born on the same day as I, and now I am sick, maybe he is really sick, and he is going to go with me!"

Liu Bang made an inappropriate joke, and Zhao Yao didn't take it at all.

He looked at Liu Bang seriously, "Please be careful, Your Majesty!"

Liu Bang said helplessly: "Since you are so sure that King Yan is conspiring against him, then you should go to Yan Kingdom to see Lu Wan and tell him that it is your elder brother who wants you to go back!"

Zhao Yao let out a long sigh, got up and left.

After Zhao Yao left, Fan Kuai walked in. He waited outside the hall for a long time, his face flushed, and he rubbed his hands together, complaining, "It's so cold!"

Fan Kuai brought a cold wind, Liu Bang coughed again, Fan Kuai looked at him worriedly, hesitating to say anything.

Liu Bang waved his hand and let him sit aside.

"I called you this time. I have something very important to ask you."

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Ting Wei caught a few fugitive slaves from Lu Shi's house. According to the fugitive slaves, Lu Shizhi hid a lot of powerful crossbows all over the place."

Fan Kuai was stunned for a moment, then grinned, "Your Majesty, what is this? I have a lot hidden in my house! Generals love these things, so why not keep them?"

"What's more, Lu Shizhi is a close relative of Your Majesty, Your Majesty don't have to worry, there is a word in your heart, please do not blame your Majesty, we are all too old, if one day we are all gone, can assist the Crown Prince and stabilize the world, foreigners There are kings of Chu, Jing, Qi, etc., the queen and Shizhi are naturally the queen, and if your majesty wants him to be the prefect, the minister thinks it is very suitable! I don’t know why the queen is against it!”

Listening to Fan Kuai's words, Liu Bang laughed and nodded, "Yes, you are right."

"Don't tell the public about this."

"only!"

Liu Bang did not summon Fan Kuai again after that, but his mood did not seem to be as low as before, and Madam Cao and Madam Shi often came to the hall to accompany Liu Bang.

After Zhao Yao left Chang'an, he rushed to the State of Yan in a hurry. He felt that this matter was very important. Before leaving, he also sent someone to write to Zhou Bo. If I fail to come out, I will ask your Excellency to attack the State of Yan quickly. !
When Zhao Yao arrived in Yan Kingdom, it was already snowing heavily in Yan Kingdom.

When Lu Wan heard that Zhao Yao was coming, he was even more frightened. He closed the door and thanked guests. Zhao Yao didn't even meet him a few times. However, Zhao Yao was not as easy to fool as the previous messengers.He was in the State of Yan and began to investigate the ministers of the State of Yan, as well as the aides of the King of Yan.

Lu Wan hurriedly called Zhang Sheng secretly, "Before the messenger came, the widow said that he was sick, but now the doctor of the censor has come in person, what should the widow do?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty is seriously ill, and the person in charge of the court is His Royal Highness the Queen. Your Majesty may be able to spare your life, but the Queen will certainly not be merciful. It is better to plan to raise troops."

"Raise the army?"

Lu Wan, who lacked courage and talent, said these two words tremblingly, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of despair.

Soon, Liu Bang received a letter from Zhao Yao, the censor.

In his letter, Zhao Yao swore an oath that Lu Wan, the King of Yan, had rebelled!He did not kill Zhang Sheng, and was contacting the Xiongnu, Chen Thief, and wanted to raise an army!
"impossible!!"

Liu Bang dropped the letter and growled angrily.

"Shen Shiqi! You go to Yan Kingdom! Call Lu Wan to Nai Gong!!"

Liu Bang sent another minister to the State of Yan to examine him. He was also Liu Bang’s fellow countryman, from Peixian County. He might not be as close as Lu Wanfankui, but Liu Bang still trusted him very much. Likewise, Empress Lu also trusted him very much. , He followed Liu Bang for many years. Although he did not have much credit, he was calm and reliable in his work, and was quite favored.

In history, Empress Lv appointed Liu Bang as Prime Minister after his death, and later wanted to kill all the generals. He tried to intercede for everyone, and threatened Empress Lv, saying that if he did this, the world would be different. Only then did Empress Lu's thoughts go away.Later, when the ministers executed Lu, he was able to save his life.

Emperor Wen was in power, just when Shen Shi thought that all these things were over, one day, a tyrannical and arrogant prince who did not want to be named found him, smashed him to death with a vertebra, and said that he wanted revenge for his biological mother!
Emperor Wen was furious. Your biological mother committed suicide, and they couldn't save it. Could this be blamed on others?Although angry, he finally pardoned the bastard brother.

At this moment, he was still the minister who was trusted by Liu Bang.

At Liu Bang's order, Shen Shiqi also set off for the State of Yan.

Shen Shiqi was different from Zhao Yao. He came to Lu Wan in the name of passing through the State of Yan. After staying in the State of Yan for a few days, Shen Shiqi turned around and returned to Chang'an.

This time and again, it is already the first month of the coming year.

Not only did Shen Shiqi come back, he also brought back two prisoners.

One of them was a general of Chen Xi, and the other was a defeated general of the Xiongnu.

You know, the Xiongnu intervened in this war against rebellion. They even wanted to protect Chen Xi, but Zhou Bo didn't give him this chance.

Shen Shi first reported the result in person, but King Yan colluded with the Xiongnu and Chen Xi!Several of his generals are hoarding food and grass!There are signs of rebellion!
The Xiongnu captives he brought back personally admitted the fact that Zhang Sheng came to contact him.

At that moment, Liu Bang sat paralyzed on his seat, his eyes were dull, and his expression was dazed.

"He's really gone"
