[Hanwu] Attack and retreat

Empress Dowager Dou was sitting on the dragon couch in Weiyang Palace, holding a jade seal in her hand. She gently stroked the engraving on the jade seal, showing a very strange smile.

"Wu'er...you can't sit in this seat, mother will sit for you."

"Ahahaha, come and chase me." My brother ran in the yard on his short legs.Huo Qubing's body was still limp, and sometimes his brother would fall while running, so Zhang Ze had to follow behind him.

"Shut up, it's time to sleep."

"I don't want to sleep." My brother continued running, "Unless you give me pigeon meat."

"...Isn't it just a carrier pigeon? Maybe it was raised by the Marquis of Tangyi." Zhang Ze said: "If you eat it, be careful when Chen Xu comes back and spanks your ass."

"Chen Xu can't." The elder brother pursed his lips and glared at Zhang Ze, then suddenly remembered something, and stared at Zhang Ze suspiciously. "The pigeons in Princess Guantao's Mansion don't look like that. Is that your pigeon?"

Zhang Ze was taken aback. "Why did my carrier pigeon come to Princess Guantao's mansion? And it just flew away when it saw us. Have you ever seen such a shy carrier pigeon?"

"Whose pigeon is that?" Brother frowned. "Oh, it would be great if Chen Xu was here, he must know."

Zhang Ze: "..." It's been so long since the carrier pigeons have flown back. I'm afraid Tang Yihou has already got news from Liu Che by this time, right?

Seeing Zhang Ze's strange expression, the elder brother was about to bully him, when he saw Wei Qing hurriedly coming from the corridor in front of the courtyard, looking flustered. "It's Wei Qing." Brother's little finger pointed to Wei Qing. "His expression looks so scary, did something happen?"

"Zhang Ze." Wei Qing walked towards Zhang Ze without his brother asking any more questions.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Ze hugged his elder brother and asked, "Is it the queen mother who made a move again?"

"It's not just about fighting. We just received the news that the army that the prince and Chen Xu were traveling with was ambushed. The two of them fell off the cliff, and even the corpses were not found."

Zhang Ze: "What?"

As soon as my brother heard the news, his mouth radiated in a weird way, and he was about to spit out the word "impossible", when Zhang Ze pinched his face and "slapped" him into his arms.

Wei Qing said: "I don't believe it, I want to see it myself."

Zhang Zedao: "The queen mother is able to attack the emperor, she will definitely not let the prince go."

"I want to see people when I live, and I want to see corpses when I die. If I don't see a corpse, I will never believe it." Wei Qing pursed his lips and said, "I'm going to leave for a while. gone."

Zhang Ze: "You go." This little thing has always been his.

"Yeah." Wei Qing glanced at his brother and left in a hurry.

Seeing that Wei Qing had left, my brother shouted, "Impossible."

"Be careful yourself, don't speak loudly in front of outsiders, or you will be burned to death as a ghost." Zhang Ze said: "The matter between the crown prince and Chen Xu will naturally be resolved by someone."

"Chen Xu is not dead, I brought him here, I can feel if there is something wrong with him." Brother said: "And Liu Che is not the emperor, how could he die?"

"...Since you know you're not dead, it's fine, eat and drink with peace of mind, and wait for him to come back." Zhang Ze didn't change his face, but said in his heart: Tsk, isn't he dead?

The elder brother continued to look at Zhang Ze suspiciously: "Your expression seems to be saying why you are not dead?"

"I have no expression."

"You obviously have this kind of expression." The elder brother put his hands on his hips and said, "Are you planning some bad idea?"

"No." Zhang Ze said: "Okay, stop making trouble, you should go to sleep."

"Hmph." My brother pawed at Zhang Ze, and before closing his eyes, he still gave him a glare. "If you dare to do anything, I really won't forgive you."

Zhang Ze patted his brother on the head, sighed, thought for a while, and seemed to be about to speak again, but found that his brother was already asleep.

Zhang Ze: "..."

The news of the prince's catastrophe on the road to disaster relief soon spread throughout the court and the public. First the emperor was lost, and then the prince. The turmoil in the court was suppressed by the Queen Mother Dou.

I don't know if it was because of the success of the two parties, Empress Dowager Dou's mind became clearer, she did not sit on the throne immediately, but sent someone to search for the whereabouts of the prince.

The emperor passed away suddenly, the prince should have ascended the throne, but the prince also died, what should I do? ——When the news of the prince's death is received, isn't it the queen mother who has the final say?Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Dou was not in a hurry to sit on the throne, and generously sent important courtiers to search for the whereabouts of the crown prince Liu Che and his son.

The more magnanimous the Empress Dowager, the more worried some ministers in the court were, and they went to Princess Guantao's mansion as soon as the court was over, apparently to comfort Tangyi Hou for losing his son, but secretly wanted to discuss with Tangyi Hou what to do .

Tang Yihou only had one sentence: "Since the queen mother has sent someone to look for it, we can only wait."

What about the son?

Tang Yihou still had only one sentence: "Since someone is looking for it, I can only wait."

The ministers had their own bright lights in their hearts, and after recollecting the words of Tang Yihou, they went home as if they had come.

Chen Wu and Liu Xun received ministers at home, and they didn't even have time to beat their shoulders to relax, and Liu Che and Chen Xu didn't even have time to take a breather.

"According to the news brought back by Chen San, if we enter the disaster area now, we will definitely be trampled to death." Sitting in front of Liu Che, Chen Xu said: "The prince looked confident before, shouldn't he talk about what to do? ?”

"There's nothing we can do." Liu Che looked very sincere, and said, "Have a rest for the night. After entering Licheng tomorrow, let the magistrate of Licheng clean up a place to take in the victims."

"Do you think the magistrate dares to open the city gate?"

"He has to open it." Liu Che took out a scroll of imperial edict.

Chen Xu: "..."

It's really Yuxi in hand, I have it in the world.With the imperial decree to do things easily, even though the faces of the local officials were full of "really troublesome", they still had to open the city gate to take in the victims, but before opening the city gate, Liu Che climbed up the city wall and crackled, and the sonorous words made all the victims They all felt the concern from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

From this point of view, Chen Xu had to admit that Liu Che was really the speaker.

A few hooligans were mixed in among the victims, and they were quickly caught out and put in prison for custody. The disaster relief work went smoothly.

"Although it went smoothly, the house is almost finished." Chen Xu said, "What should I do?"

"You never asked me about this kind of thing before." Liu Che said, "You will solve it yourself."

"...Are you complaining to me now?"

"I'm just happy." Liu Che smiled at Chen Xu. "I will discuss it with you, not bad." Liu Che said, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother's people should be here soon."

"So you had that idea in mind."

"People always have to eat." Liu Che said: "The queen mother is not a fool. I heard that my body has not been found, so she will definitely arrange a backup. I can't just go back and fight her without preparing anything, can I?"

"It's really hard. The prince has been struggling among the victims during this time."

"They're all quite durable." Liu Che's words were full of deep meaning. "I just don't know if you can stand it."

Chen Xu: "..." It's been more than two months, yet Liu Che is still thinking about revenge.
