Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 896 No matter who said it
"Long."

Liang Wang Liu Hui appeared in front of Liu Chang with an eager expression on his face. Liu Hui was still the same as before, with a chubby figure, but compared to before, he also looked older, with a lot more gray hair. He only walked a few steps. He was already out of breath, and his whole body was like a broken bellows, making disturbing noises from his throat.

Liu Chang hadn't spoken yet, but Liu Hui had already hugged him tightly in his arms.

Liu Hui's eyes were full of sadness.

The relationship between Empress Lu and other children is actually not that good, especially Liang Wang Liuhui. Empress Lu has a great opinion on him. She always thinks that he is useless, and even thinks that he has no appearance of the Liu family. That favored concubine flirtatiously is really hated.

Liu Hui would never dare to appear in front of Empress Lu on weekdays, but at this moment, he was grieving from the bottom of his heart, probably because he knew how traumatic this incident would bring to his younger brother.

Just as Liu Hui thought, his younger brother's usually bright eyes became a little dim, his figure seemed to have lost weight, and his eye sockets were a little swollen. Looking at his younger brother's appearance, Liu Hui couldn't help it anymore, he seemed to be looking at his younger brother again. Seeing that young figure crying about how he was bullied by his third brother, Liu Hui hugged him into his arms, "If you want to cry, you can cry, it's okay, I'm always here... Will take good care of you."

Liu Hui has no talent, but his feelings for Liu Chang are the most straightforward, and he never hides his love for this younger brother.

And Liu Hui also knew that without this younger brother, he would not be alive today.

Liu Chang didn't cry this time, he just said softly: "I'm worried about you. I'm fine."

The two brothers hugged each other for a long time, Liu Hui finally let go of him, Liu Hui really wanted to do something for his brother, but he found that he was so incompetent, unable to do anything, he thought for a long time, just now Said: "This year Liang Guo has a bumper harvest, and the grain output has broken through all previous records. Chao Cuo is really a very talented person. Every household in Liang State has grain, and even has the idea to sell grain outside. The grain price is extremely stable. , In order not to hurt the interests of farmers, we bought a lot of grain and stabilized the price."

"That's great. I feel at ease to have my brother and Chao Cuo in Liang Guo."

Liu Hui added: "Chao Cuo also wanted to come. He said that he is His Majesty's servant, no matter where he is, he will not change. He really wants to come and accompany His Majesty in person, but I let him I stayed. I think, you may want to see Liang Guo’s great harvest, and the sight of the people’s prosperity may not be as consoling as this.”

Liu Chang nodded, "It's okay, Chao Cuo has already asked for leave from the temple. Liang Guo has a lot of things to do, not just food. I can rest assured that he will stay to handle business."

Liu Hui went to meet Liu Heng again, and Liu Chang signaled Liu Heng to take him to meet Liu Le.

The two left, Liu Chang was silent for a moment, and looked at Lu Lu who was beside him.

Lu Lu's mental state at the moment is not much better. After Empress Lu passed away, the entire Lu family couldn't sit still. Not only did they lose their backbone, they even lost their protective umbrella. It is really hard to say that he can continue the prestige of his surname Zhong in the world.

Those Lu family members who were arrogant and domineering in the past and who dared to spit in the face of princes and kings panicked at this moment.

Even Liu Hui, the always domineering queen, was extremely submissive before Liu Hui's trip, not daring to be rude, and her usual domineering disappeared.

Lu Lu took over the big banner of the Lu family. Although this banner was supposed to be used by Lu Chan to fight against it, Lu Lu's status was obviously higher. He was not a big official, but he was the emperor's confidant. Lu Chan was not comparable.

However, the position of being the head of the family is not so easy to take. It has not been a few days, and the letters written by the Lu family from all over the country have almost drowned Lu Lu.

Most of them are terrified, terrified, and afraid of retaliation for what they did in the past.

Of course, they also have many things that need Lu Lu's help. For example, some local officials changed their attitudes towards them after the death of Empress Lu, arrested their children, sealed up their properties, etc. For these things, Lu Lu chose to remain silent, and decided to take care of his aunt's affairs first, and then manage them one by one.

Lu Lu hurriedly stood up, "Your Majesty."

"Prepare the car and go to the Prince's Mansion."

"only!!"

This was the first time that Liu Chang went out on his own initiative since the Queen Mother passed away. Lu Lu suppressed the sadness in his heart, ordered the carriage ready, and took the emperor out of the palace.

Walking towards the Prince's Mansion, Lu Lu suddenly asked, "Your Majesty is going to give way?"

Lu Lu knew that Liu Chang had always wanted to go out to open the sea, and it was only because there were still people he missed in Chang'an that he hadn't gone. At this moment, the shackles that trapped the emperor were gone. In fact, many ministers They were all very scared, because many absurd actions of the emperor in the past were suppressed by the queen mother, but at this moment, who can control the emperor?The emperor does not have any restrictions now, and all the officials are worried that he will act recklessly.

Facing Lu Lu's inquiry, Liu Chang said calmly, "It's not that time yet."

"I just have something to tell him."

Lu Lu didn't ask any more questions.

When the group of them arrived at the Prince's Mansion, the usually bustling Prince's Mansion seemed extremely quiet, all the guests had disappeared, and it was Wei Wenjun who came to open the door.

Wei Wenjun found out that it was the emperor who came, so he hurriedly paid homage to see him.

Lu Lu looked around and asked, "Where are the people here?"

Wei Wenjun said helplessly: "The prince asked them all to go back, saying that he wanted to be alone for a while."

Lu Lu didn't say anything more.

Liu Chang walked in, and two people quickly appeared in front of him. It was Liu Qian and Liu Che. Both of them had obviously cried, because they were too young to participate in the funeral of the Queen Mother, but They already knew what was going on, they were at this age.

"Father."

Liu Qian threw himself into Liu Chang's arms and burst into tears.

Liu Chang hugged Liu Qian and coaxed him softly, "It's okay, it's okay, don't cry, a man, how can this be so?"

Compared with Liu Qian, Liu Che was much calmer. Although his eyes were red, he didn't cry.

Liu Chang put down Liu Qian, fumbled for some snacks from his body, handed them to two people, patted their heads, and walked into the inner room.

"Get out!! Get out of here!!!"

As soon as he heard footsteps, Liu An roared violently.

The death of the Empress Dowager was also a huge blow to Liu An. Liu An was brought up by his eldest mother, and her eldest mother loved him very much. She hid her love and became strict with him, but the relationship between the two is still much deeper than others.The eldest mother passed away suddenly, Liu An felt very guilty, because in the last period of time, he was not able to accompany the eldest mother, he was busy all day long.

Those things of his are not finished yet, but there are no people who can see him show the results.

Liu An directly became self-defeating, simply put down everything, locked himself in the inner room, and closed the door.

He kicked out all the disciples who wanted to persuade them.

Hearing Liu An's violent roar, Liu Chang paused, took a deep breath, and then walked into the inner room.

Liu An raised his hand, still wanting to curse, but when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he couldn't curse anymore, he hastily knelt down in front of Liu Chang, lowered his head, and kept saluting.

Liu Chang didn't pursue his rudeness just now, but just sat beside him.

"Hold your head up for me."

Liu An slowly raised his head, his face was covered with tears.

Liu Chang hesitated for a moment before he said, "Ann, don't be sad that your aunt is still looking at you right now. She doesn't want you to be so sad. Although your aunt didn't say it clearly, I think she must be Death misses your eldest father very much, misses her father, mother, brother, and friend. I know this very well, because I am the same."

"When I wake up every morning, I'm sad because I miss the people who have passed away."

"At my age, death is no longer scary. I miss my parents, my elder brother, and my virtuous ministers. I really want to meet them again, and try my hand with my father. Compete with Xiao in the art of war, compare with Liuhou in swordsmanship, compare with Qu Nihou in riding, compare with General Xiahou in arithmetic, and Zhou Chang, I really want to debate with him. He is also a stutter."

"Here, she only has our two relatives, but in that world, she has many, many relatives, and many people she wants to see. You don't know, your elder father and mother get along harmoniously. As far as I can remember, the two are very affectionate, respect each other like guests, love each other, it is very touching."

"Thinking about it, Emperor Gao is probably very happy now, and can start a loving life again."

"So, don't be so sad. Those relatives who have passed away will watch you silently and help and protect you."

Liu An wiped away tears, "Who told Father this?"

"If it's so reasonable, of course it's Nai Gong's own thinking."

Liu An smiled and rubbed his eyes again.

Liu Chang patted him on the shoulder, "Don't care who said it first, anyway, that's what I think now, so don't you think this sentence is mine? Don't you think it makes sense? When my mother was alive, she often told me Said, death is just a brand new beginning, there is nothing to be afraid of, my father is not afraid, my mother is not afraid, how can I be afraid? I just can't bear them. But sooner or later, I will be buried beside them , Ann, after I pass away, you can pretend to bury me in Anling, and then quietly bury me in Changling, I want to be with my parents."

Liu An was once again amused by Liu Chang, "This is not in accordance with etiquette."

"Fucking etiquette, etiquette is for us, can it restrict us?"

The father and son sat quietly, Liu An was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked in a murmur, "Father, is there really a world after death?"

"I'll tell you when I'm dead. At that time, you can see if I have a dream. If I have a dream, I will, and if I don't, I won't."

"Did the aunt have a dream?"

"Please, you scolded me bloody. Father and mother came together and scolded me together. I couldn't help but woke up."

"real??"

"Of course it's true. Last night, my mother scolded me the most, but I really can't remember what she scolded. I just remember that I was very angry. When I got up, I beat Lu Lu."

Liu An was amused again, and the snot bubbles almost popped out.

Liu Chang said seriously: "Son, we will experience many such things in this life, but we can't always be immersed in this kind of sadness. We will never forget those who passed away. But our eyes You must also keep your eyes on the front. Nothing can overwhelm our Liu family, nothing can overwhelm us Huaxia. We carry these things in our blood. No amount of pain can stop us. My mother is gone. In the end, the only thing left is the way home. But, I am not convinced, I have to do something big."

"I want to sit on a big boat and start from the south all the way to the west. I want to conquer every place I reach. I want to let the whole world know my reputation as a big man. I want to give the people in the west a hard time, let them Even in my dreams, I dare not look towards the east. When you inherit the throne, you may see countless envoys, praising the great man's reputation, coming from thousands of miles to see you. When the time comes, you can proudly say that this is all My father's credit! You can't swallow my credit!"

Liu An sat beside my father, listening to my father's narration, there seemed to be countless expectations and longings in his eyes.

"Father, will there really be such a day?"

"Of course there will be. Is there anything Nai Gong can't do?"

"However, you have to promise that you won't take my credit. By the way, you must give me the posthumous title of the text."

Liu An's eyes were red, but he kept smiling, "Father is starting to worry about the posthumous title now."

"I know what you are like, I know best in my heart, you have been coveting words for a long time, but, it's agreed, the text is mine, and you can use it yourself."

"Don't be afraid to talk about death. It's inevitable. Your elder father is not afraid, your elder mother is not afraid, and your father is not afraid. What are you afraid of? Right?"

Liu An nodded, and said solemnly: "Okay, the text is for Father."

Liu Chang continued: "Speaking of which, I really want to leave now, but this is not fair to you. I will help you stabilize the domestic affairs. In addition, I will not directly give you the position. , this will cause a lot of problems. However, if I want to go to sea, major domestic affairs will fall on you anyway. You are no different from the emperor. Well, I still trust your ability. Compared with the emperor, I I want to be a general even more. In the future, you will be in Chang'an, and I will go out to fight."

Liu An was silent for a long time, and asked, "When is father going to leave?"

"What? You can't wait to send me away??"

Liu Chang glanced at him, and then said: "Let's talk about it when the country is peaceful. I came to you this time to pave the way for you. Don't stay in the mansion any more. Go out. The princes and kings and the ministers of the country and the county guards from all over the country are here to help you." Human beings are coming, unless they are those who can't get away, logically speaking, they should come, but, I don't want to delay too much state affairs, if your mother knows, she will definitely not object, state affairs The most important thing. Those people will be greeted by you. In the future, you will come to meet them. The relationship between the county guards and you is good. Now I will deal with the relationship between you and the elders. When I leave Don't worry about it anymore."

Liu An nodded, "I see."

"After I leave, there will definitely be people who don't have long eyes and tell you what those old officials are disobedient. Don't listen to those people farting. The old officials won't embarrass you. You are no longer the child you used to be. You have enough prestige and strength, and I will also tell them that if something really happens, you send someone to tell me, and I will help you."

Liu An said again: "I'm just worried that I can't do these things well. Father, I will never be able to compare with you. Your achievements are too high. I can't reach that level. The more books I read, the more I will The more I can discover your strength, your vision is farther than anyone else's. What I can spy is only one ten-thousandth of it. This is enough to make me astonished. I am afraid that I will lose your face. Big man, make a lot of things."

Liu Chang shook his head, "It's all my fault."

"Since you were born, you have been very outstanding. You have outstanding talents, no one can compare. It is said that Dong Zhongshu is talented, but in my opinion, he is not as good as you. Therefore, I have always been afraid that you will Develop a conceited and arrogant character, so I have been pressing you, let you experience setbacks, and want to make you humble. You are already very strong now, maybe you can’t find it yourself. In the past few years, what you have What I did, I want to pick out some problems, it becomes very difficult, I can't find a reason, so I can only make up some reasons to beat you and scold you."

"Don't be so inferior. You are Liu Chang's son. You are also his most talented and intelligent son. You can learn everything as soon as you learn it. What surprised me the most is that it didn't take long for you to watch me teach Liu Bo swordsmanship. , I saw that Lei was using the same sword technique. I asked him, and he said that you told him about this set of sword techniques. It took me a full year to remember the changes in the moves clearly. It's outrageous, you can remember it at a glance. Even if you haven't practiced it yourself."

"Tell me the truth, have you practiced swordsmanship in private?"

Liu An laughed, "Father, I just have some achievements in learning, how do I know what kind of swordsmanship?"

Liu Chang suddenly slashed at Liu An with his palm, and Liu An raised his palm in an instant, firmly blocking the blow, Liu An hurriedly withdrew his hand, looked at his red palm, and grinned in pain.

Liu Chang scolded: "As expected!!! You are a scumbag!! Hiding private things for Nai Gong, right?!"

Liu An smiled wryly, "I just practiced it secretly, and I'm not very good. How dare I show it in front of my father to embarrass me."

"Fuck off!!!"

"Get out and meet your elders!!"
