Chapter 129: Lu Pheasant's Virtuous Empress (19)
In the Xuanshu Palace, in addition to Liu Bang's sons, there are also a group of old ministers such as Xiao He.
"The King of Qi is filial piety, I comfort him, and I give you the right to stay in the capital at any time in the future, so that I can see you from time to time in the future. Liu Bang wore a dragon robe, sat on the throne, and stroked his beard.
"How can a son-in-law be so loving as a father!" Liu Fei was so excited that he couldn't help himself, trembling and kneeling in the tunnel.
This is not an optional gift. Although a prince can issue decrees and collect taxes in his fiefdom, like a small king, he is generally not allowed to leave his fief at will. Otherwise, it will be considered as malicious and conspiracy. As long as he is caught, he can be killed directly according to the law.
This was to maintain the power of the emperor and avoid the princes colluding with the courtiers. Every year when the princes enter Beijing, they are only done by edict. It can be said that Liu Fei has received the rarest reward.
"My reward, you can take it!" Liu Bang looked at the embarrassed son in front of him, but his expression was very honest, and said kindly.
"Son, thank you for your father's grace! I wish my father long live, long live, long live!" Liu Fei knelt on the ground excitedly and thanked him sincerely.
"Alright, you guys come over too. Liu Bang actually doesn't like this son very much, looking at his honest face, he hasn't inherited his own intelligence at all. But he's the oldest, and he's going to use it at this time.
Several other children were called to him by Liu Bang, Liu Bang looked at these uneven little heads, and said slowly: "A few of you, you have grown so big unconsciously." can also be crowned king. โ
"Father, don't be crowned king, don't want to leave your side. Liu Ruyi pouted.
He was dragged down by Qi Ji's stupid things before, and in order to punish them, Liu Bang made Liu Ruyi the king of Qi County, and the fief was on the edge of Qi Di, which was also considered Qi Land, just in a small town by the sea next to Liu Fei's fief. Liu Ruyi knew that his mother had committed his father's taboo, and he couldn't say anything at the time, but fortunately, Liu Bang didn't have to drive him to the fiefdom. Liu Ruyi lived in the mansion in the capital with Qi Ji on the grounds that he was still an adult, and slipped into the palace every now and then to brush up in front of Liu Bang. Now it's finally working.
"You little slippery head! Who said that you would be crowned a king? I see that you are naughty, you can be a county king in this life. Liu Bang deliberately said with a cold face.
"Okay, okay, I'll be the king of the county, and ask my father to take back my fiefdom, so that I can accompany my father forever!" Liu Ruyi didn't think he was angry, but said happily.
"You, brothers, you're the most slippery. Liu Bang touched Liu Ruyi's little head angrily and funny.
"Thank you, father, for the compliment!" Liu Ruyi continued to sell cuteness.
"Okay, okay, although you are more naughty, but for the sake of your filial piety, I will also give you the right to go wherever you want in the territory of the Han Dynasty! You are still young, no matter whether you will be crowned king in the future or not, this power will not be invalid. โ
Liu Bang smiled with love on his face, but he couldn't stop regretting it in his heart. This kid is too clever, and he is not as kind as Liu Yingzhong. If he could be a few years older, he would have chosen this person as him, not Liu Fei. The way he fought in the ring with Liu Ying must be exciting.
"Thank you, father! In this way, when the rechen wants to come to see you in the future, he can come to see you whenever he wants! The retainer loves his father the most!" Liu Ruyi's mouth was as sweet as honey.
Ruyi's mother has always wanted to be a mother in the world, and he has been taught to work hard to get that supreme power since he was a child. Their mother and son have no advantage, and the only and biggest bargaining chip is his father in front of him. This is the only man who can fulfill their mother's and son's wishes. Ruyi has been very aware of this since he was a child, so he has always regarded pleasing Liu Bang as the most important thing.
"Okay, you guys, where do you want your fiefdom to be? Tell your father, and your father can refer to it. Liu Bang turned his gaze to the remaining children.
Xiao He watched the scene of Liu Bang's wanton sealing of the king from the side, his eyes were full of doubts, and he couldn't help but want to step forward to remind him. Generally, the crown of the prince can only be carried out after he has reached adulthood. But Liu Bang sealed all the children except Liu Ruyi and Liu Heng today. It's just a matter of sealing, and he also sent out two indicators that you can enter Beijing at will, if you bury two โกโก for the future of the Han Dynasty!
Zhang Liang, who was dressed in plain clothes next to him, wanted to go out to ask questions when he saw Xiao He, and hurriedly secretly grabbed the corner of his clothes to prevent him from acting rashly.
"Zifang, what are you pulling me for?" Xiao He had to take two steps back and stood still in front of Zhang Liang and asked.
"Just look at it, don't act rashly. Zhang Liang whispered.
"But ......"
"Don't worry about it, just look at it. After speaking, the two of them continued to stand aside with their hands down, and continued to look at the scene of Liu Bang's father and child in front of them.
Liu Bang pretended not to see Xiao He and Zhang Liang's small movements, and happily finished dividing his sons before he looked up and talked to them.
"I've been feeling like I'm not as good as I used to be lately, and I'm always feeling low on energy. The two Aiqing have been with me for many years, I don't know how you are doing?" Liu Bang suddenly became vicissitudes of life, and said sadly to the two people in front of him.
"Your Majesty, we're all old!" Before Xiao He could react from Liu Bang's abruptly changed painting style, Zhang Liang said first.
"Yes, we're all getting old, and sometimes we suddenly feel overwhelmed. Do you think that among these sons of mine, which one can be entrusted to the country?" Liu Bang asked casually, but his eyes were carefully observing the expressions on the faces of these two people, and he was unwilling to let go of the slightest strangeness.
Xiao He was about to say, "Of course it's the prince", but he spoke first before he opened his mouth.
"This is His Majesty's family matter, how can we, as courtiers, intervene at will?"
"Xiao Aiqing, what about your opinion? Can't you two give me some pertinent opinions?" Liu Bang said, his voice raised, and anyone could hear the anger in it.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that your wisdom is enough for you to make the most correct decision. The old minister didn't dare to beak. "Xiao He is not a fool, but one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, after Zhang Liang's hints and covers, how could he not understand that this time is not suitable to talk about this topic?
"You two! It's getting more and more intimate. Liu Bang deliberately called these two people to watch a good show of wanton kinghood today, and pretended to be sad and resentful, in fact, he just wanted to see if the two of them were in league with Lu Pheasant and Liu Ying, and whether they couldn't help but dissuade him from his "inappropriate" behavior just now, or remind him openly and secretly of the prince's existence.
The results are still satisfactory. Regardless of whether they have a tendency in their hearts or not, as long as they don't openly fall to Lu Pheasant and Liu Ying's side, with their friendship over the years, Liu Bang believes that if their father and son really start wrestling, these two people will still stand by their side as always.
"Your Majesty, you have said that we are old, and this hand is about to become old bark. With you in this life, we have got everything we want, and the rest of the time is to enjoy a few years of leisure, and it will not be in vain. What the are you doing with so many hearts!"
Zhang Liang was also a handsome guy in Yushu Linfeng when he was young, and now thinking about his wrinkled hands like dead branches, Liu Bang's words to persuade him are really convincing.
"Lao Chen has been teasing Sun at home recently, and he is also very happy! I really don't have the energy to worry about anything outside. You don't know, my little grandson, with red lips and white teeth, shouted 'grandpa', my heart melted......" Xiao He imitated Zhang Liang's appearance, and also chatted with Liu Bang about the beautiful life after retirement.
"You two, one resigned from his title and went to do business, the other had to retire and go home to see his grandson, leaving me behind, and the other was in this palace, lonely, you really can't bear it!" Liu Bang scolded with a smile.
In fact, they all know in their hearts that it is false to be idle, and it is true to avoid disputes in the court. Liu Bang didn't mind, and even hoped that they would be like this, enjoying a rich and prosperous life at home, and when he asked them to come out, it would be good to come out again.
Liu Bang found out the intentions of Zhang Liang and Xiao He, and the atmosphere in the Xuanshu Hall suddenly became relaxed and relaxed.
At the same time, Lu Pheasant came to the East Palace in the name of appeasing the prince.
"It seems that the previous incident with Yingbu still made His Majesty find some clues!" Fan Zeng stroked his long white beard and smacked it.
"You don't necessarily find anything. With his temper, if he finds something, he will first eliminate all the discoveries regardless of 3721, and he won't attack the curve like this. Lu Pheasant thought for a long time and muttered.
"According to Niangniang's opinion, His Majesty xiร this is ......" What is going on!
"Vigilance, that's the vigilance of the higher-ups. We are still careless, we shouldn't have arranged so well and acted so quickly in order to minimize Yingbu's threat!" Lu Pheasant said depressedly.
This is probably "accompanying the king as accompanying the tiger"! Okay, it's not good, it's not good, the scale is not right at all, it will lead to other things.
At this time, an inconspicuous gray-clothed waiter came closer, and Fan Zeng arched his hand to Lu Pheasant and said, "Niangniang, please wait a while!"
Lu Pheasant saw that Fan Zeng heard the gray-clothed waiter whisper a few words, and then the character suddenly became dignified.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty has just divided the princes, except for the youngest two princes, who are the princes, the other princes have been crowned princes, filling the positions of those princes who fell during this time. Fan Zeng looked at Lu Pheasant and frowned, and continued to report.
"And that's not even the worst news. His Majesty also gave the two Royal Highnesses, the eldest prince and the younger prince, the right to enter Beijing at will. The laws which were the most powerful binding on the prince were no longer valid for them. โ
Bang!
Lu Pheasant slammed the jade cup in his hand upside down on the table. A slight crack appeared on the emerald green jade surface.
