Chapter 148: Buddies Are Interesting!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

When the big stick landed on Fan Xu's body, Fan Xu was naked, silent, seeing the dense scars of canine teeth on his upper body, even the armor who did it was a little unbearable to fight, but, when he found that the big stick was not powerful enough, Fan Xu shouted: "You dare to despise me?!" If you don't fight! Then you lie down and I'll hit you!! ”

Hearing this, Jia Shi suddenly didn't dare to release the water, so he had to fight hard.

Inside the temple, it is quiet at the moment.

Among the ministers, none of them dared to speak, and none of them dared to intercede for Fan Xu, so who is Fan Xu? is the brother-in-law of the Queen Mother,

The wings of the Queen Mother, even he was dragged down and beaten with a stick at the moment, how could these people dare to speak?

Liu Ying listened to the sound of hitting outside, and his heart was extremely unbearable, but when he thought of the glass of wine, he gritted his teeth and was speechless.

The ministers are enduring suffering, not to mention Liu Ying, he has always respected these old ministers very much.

At this moment, listening to the fierce blow outside, someone finally couldn't help it.

"Your Majesty! Wuyang Hou is old! Even if he has made a mistake, I hope His Majesty will forgive him! ”

Everyone was shocked, raised their heads and saw that it was Lu Juan who interceded for Fan Xu, Lu Juan was dismissed by Liu Bang as a commoner, but before Liu Bang died, he was crowned Marquis of Pingyang and appointed as the commander of the Zhongli Order. Although the official position is not very big, but the identity is here, although Liu Bang is gone, but the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven respect him very much, he can still enter and leave the palace at any time, pay homage to the royal family, not long ago, he entered the palace to see the little prince.

Lu Xuan's intercession made Liu Ying even more hesitant.

Lu Juan has a very good relationship with Liu Bang, like his own brothers, he is regarded as a middle father by the princes, Liu Ying lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and did not speak, but Shusun Tong hurriedly got up, he looked serious, looked at Lu Juan, and said angrily: "The temples are all polite, and the Marquis of Wuyang violated the etiquette law and was punished by His Majesty, is it because he is old, can he be forgiven?" ”

"The Marquis of Pingyang was in turmoil at the beginning, if it wasn't for the gift of the first emperor, I am afraid that he would have been killed a long time ago, how dare he speak in the court today? Interceding for others?! ”

Lu Xuan's face instantly turned pale, and he lowered his head, but he didn't say anything more.

When the court meeting ended and the ministers left, Liu Chang happily rushed into the palace.

"Brother? How? Isn't it calm? ”

"Are you all scared?"

Liu Chang asked happily, but when he saw Liu Ying's sad face, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Liu Chang was surprised, "What? Didn't the outnumber's strategy work? ”

Liu Ying shook her head, "The ministers really don't quarrel anymore... It's just that I just feel sorry for Wuyanghou... And Pingyang Hou. Alas, they were all founding ministers, and if it weren't for them, how could I be in this position today... But I can't. Alas."

Liu Chang waved his small hand and said, "It's okay!" This is also for their good, if they continue to quarrel, it will not be a matter of being beaten with a stick, it is better to be beaten by you a few times than to be hated by your mother! ”

Liu Ying nodded, "Do I have to go and see the Marquis of Wuyang?" He was beaten so much today that he couldn't even walk."

"Huh? Brother is going to visit him now, isn't it all in vain! ”

"That"

"Alas, the second brother went to find Grandma, let Grandma visit you for you!"

Liu Ying came to her senses, nodded, and asked, "Eldest brother, why do you have to punish Yang Hou Wu?" ”

"Who made his daughter cough cough, the main thing is that Wuyang Hou is strong, those fifty sticks, but it's fatal, in the entire temple, except for Wuyang Hou,

No one can bear it, just like Chen Ping, brother, don't look at him as tall, such a stick will be hit five times, and he will be allowed to see his father immediately! ”

"What's more... The elder brother has to maintain the balance of the temple, he has to control the ministers, and he has to control the people under the command of his mother... Fan Hao has a high status, and he is close to A's mother, with rough skin and thick meat, who will he fight if he doesn't beat him? ”

"I see, it's better to dismiss Zhao Yao and let Uncle Sun Tong replace him!"

Liu Ying was taken aback, "But don't you hate Uncle Sun Tong the most on weekdays?" ”

"I don't like him, but now, I need to balance... My brother will listen to me, as long as he is the imperial doctor... Hey, hey, hey, then my brother doesn't have to worry about anything, and all the problems can be solved. ”

Liu Ying nodded blankly.

"Wuyang Hou here, brother to find Grandma, Pingyang Hou here, I'll go in person!"

After Liu Chang explained this, he hurriedly left the Xuanshu Palace, and Liu Ying also went to the Jiaofang Hall to find the Queen Mother.

Empress Lu was still in that cold appearance, and when she saw Liu Ying, she frowned slightly and scolded: "Shaft! Wuyang Hou is your elder! How dare you be so cruel to him?! ”

Liu Ying took a few steps back, but plucked up her courage and said, "I am the Son of Heaven, so I can't do this?" ”

Empress Lu looked at the son in front of her in surprise, but there was no anger on her face, Liu Ying was also a little hairy by Empress Lu, and said: "I want my mother to let the Queen Mother visit the Marquis of Wuyang."

"I want to appease him, I'll go now."

Liu Ying didn't expect that her mother was so neat and tidy, Liu Ying almost didn't say anything, and Empress Lu took the things she had prepared in advance.

Leaving the Jiaofang Palace, at that moment, Liu Ying felt an unprecedented ease and comfort, since the death of his father, he has not been so relaxed for a long time, the mountain that has been pressing on him seems to have disappeared, Liu Ying smiled, and walked to the Ganquan Palace.

And at this moment, Liu Chang is with the sages.

"King! Where are we going today? ”

"Go to my house, I have lambs in my house now!"

Lu Lu proposed with a smile, and Zhou Shengzhi said disdainfully: "What's delicious then?" Or go to my house and eat chicken! ”

Just when they were arguing, Xiao Yan smirked and said, "It's better to take the chicken and sheep and go to my house to eat, my father is not here." ”

"Xiao Yan is right! His family is big enough, we can play at his house, even if we play badly, Xiao Xiang is old, and he can't catch up with us! Xiahou Zao hurriedly spoke, and Xiao Yan nodded in agreement.

Looking at these two Guan Zhong Leyi, Liu Chang shook his head helplessly, "Today, let's go to Lu Tazhi's house!" ”

"Huh?"

Lu He was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "My lord, my aunt is not at home, and I went back to my hometown with my mother. ”

"Phew! The widow is not a faint king who only thinks about women all day long like my father! The widow is going to meet the middle... Have you noticed that you should actually call the widow a middle father? ”

"Why?"

"You see, the widow calls Pingyang Hou his middle father, but Pingyang Hou is your eldest father..."

Fan Yan shook his head, "The king, this is your fault, if it is about seniority, I, the city, Lu, and the species are all yours of the king."

"What's all mine?" , Liu Chang's eyes widened.

"They are all the king's younger brothers..."

Liu Chang looked at the four housekeepers behind him and said, "The widow is going to visit the Marquis of Pingyang, so you can go back first." ”

Luan Bu hurriedly shook his head, "Where the king is, we will be there." ”

Liu Chang was helpless, so he led everyone to Lu Juan's mansion.

"Middle Father~"

Before the person arrives, the sound comes first.

When Liu Chang led everyone into the inner room, Lu Juan was packing up his things, and when he saw Liu Chang coming, he was stunned, and then smiled and asked Liu Chang to sit beside him. Liu Chang looked at the actions of the people in this courtyard and asked, "What is the middle father doing?" ”

"Alas... I am old and guilty, ready to resign and return to my hometown..."

"Father has already forgiven your crimes, who dares to say that you are guilty of sin?!"

Liu Chang was angry and said, "It seems that there must be a villain who is against the middle father, so I'll go to them!" ”

Seeing that Liu Chang was about to go out with everyone, Lu Juan hurriedly stopped him, "No one is against me, it's me, my body is not as good as before, I can't wear armor anymore, and I can't deal with anything."

Liu Chang looked left and right, and asked Qunxian to guard the courtyard, and only Liu Chang and Lu Juan were left in the house.

"Father Zhong, it's just the two of us here, if there's anything, just tell me the truth, if you don't say it, I'll have to inquire myself!"

Lu Juan was helpless, so he vaguely mentioned the matter of the court discussion, and said again: "I originally had the idea of returning to my hometown..."

"Oh, the middle father is confused, this is my brother's strategy!"

Liu Chang shook his head, "Since the death of my father, the ministers have despised my brother very much, and quarreled in the court, my brother deliberately instructed Wuyang Hou to do it, why do you want to intercede?" ”

Lu Xuan's eyes widened, "But I don't think that posture is like a fake fight..."

"That's the Marquis of Wuyang deliberately cooperating with His Majesty to establish his authority! The middle father is confused! ”

Lu Juan suddenly realized, "I see"

"Father Zhong, don't say you want to leave, just stay to assist Your Majesty, Your Majesty is now weak, and the ministers have not really returned to their hearts, at this time, you are most needed for important ministers like you, how can you leave him? Are you worthy of my father by doing this? ”

Liu Chang resorted to the best moral kidnapping.

Lu Juan hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

"The middle father listened to me..."

Fan Hao was lying on the bed, and Lu Wei was applying medicine to him.

"Why did you fight so hard?!"

Lu gritted his teeth and trembled with anger, "I'll go find my eldest sister later..."

"No need, I'm already here, out."

The voice of Lu Hou came from outside the door, Lu Wei was shocked, hurriedly helped Fan Hao get dressed, and hurriedly walked out of the inner room, seeing Lu Hou, Lu Yao couldn't help crying, "Big sister, he"

"Okay, I know it all, no need to say more."

Lu Hou simply interrupted her, and then said, "Let everyone else go out." ”

After the subordinates left, Fan Xu dragged his body out to meet Empress Lu, "It's okay, you continue to lie down and I came this time just to tell you about this." ”

After Fan Xu continued to lie down, Empress Lu said solemnly: "The minister of the court and the central government despises Your Majesty, Your Majesty asks for advice, and I tell him to kill him." ”

Fan Hao was terrified, and hurriedly got up to apologize, but Empress Lu asked him to lie down again, and said: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and unwilling to kill, and I told him that you can choose a person with a prestige and punish him heavily, so as to deter other ministers, I told him to choose the person who is closest to you,

Because only in this way will the other party not hold a grudge against you, understand your thoughts, and cooperate with you. ”

"Sure enough, Your Majesty chose to do so."

"This is Your Majesty's trust in you... In the future, you will help Your Majesty more."

After a few words, the sad and indignant look on Fan Xu's face disappeared without a trace, "I see, no wonder that Jia Shi didn't beat me hard."

"Yes, thanks to the cooperation of Wuyang Hou and the hard work of the armorer, this is not exposed...", Lu Hou said, looked at Lu again, and scolded: "

You always look down on him on weekdays, thinking that he is brave and strategic, but at the critical moment, he is much more reliable than you, you just said that you want to find me, what do you want to do with me? Let me go and depose the Son of Heaven?! ”

Lu Yao hurriedly lowered his head, "Don't dare." ”

"Learn more from your beloved, don't be confused at critical times!"

"Yui!"

"Marquis Wuyang did a very good job this time, Your Majesty treats the ministers like this, and the ministers will definitely fight back. When the time comes, Wuyang Hou can fight back with them, do you understand what I mean? ”

"Of course I do! Don't worry, the Queen Mother! ”

Fan Xu changed back to his lively appearance in an instant, and he was in good spirits.

"That's good.", Empress Lu's expression also eased, and she began to chat with Lu Yao about their daily routines.

"What about the two boys from the city and the city?"

"I went out early, I should be playing with the chief."

"Where's Qing?"

"She went to Cao's mansion, and recently she made friends with Cao Xiang's little daughter."

Liu Fei, the king of Qi, knelt in front of Liu Bang's spiritual seat, bowed his head, and his attitude was very humble.

His advisors sat on their knees behind him, analyzing the situation with him.

"Your Majesty, this is to protect the king, so let the king avoid trouble in this temple, here, there is really no one who dares to murder the king... But after all, this is a short-term strategy, as long as the Queen Mother does not let go, the king can not avoid the catastrophe, and the plan now is to find a way to make the Queen Mother forgive you. ”

"That. What should I do? Apologize in person? ”

"Don't!"

"The king must not say this to his face!"

"What about the widow?"

"King, who are Empress Lu's favorite people now?"

"Uh... Son of Heaven, Princess Lu Yuan, eldest brother. ”

"Empress Lu only recognizes His Majesty, Princess Lu Yuan, and King Tang as his son... She is extremely fond of these people, king, you have more than 70 cities, if you can dedicate a county fief to Empress Lu, and ask Empress Lu to give this fief to one of these three, as a fief, the queen mother will be very happy, and you will not have any murder! ”

Liu Fei pondered seriously and asked, "Who should I give it to?" ”

"First of all, it must not be given to the Son of Heaven, there is no reason in the world for the princes and kings to increase the land and the Son of Heaven, if you do this, you will be suspected of persecuting Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it should be given to the Tang Wangchang, you are suffering from disasters now, it is because the strength of the Qi State is too strong..."

"What are you talking about?!"

Liu Fei was furious, he scolded: "My eldest brother, I regard him as a son, this time, he saved my life, and you want to take revenge?" If I give him the counties of Qi State, Tang State will become a stronger vassal state, and he will have to protect me from disasters, how can I do such a thing?! ”

Seeing that King Qi was so angry, the minister said helplessly: "I originally wanted the king to give it to Princess Lu Yuan, but it was precisely because he saved your life and wanted to repay the favor that I said so." ”

"What are you doing to repay the favor? You're using your eldest brother as a shield! ”

"Definitely."

The minister's face was particularly solemn, and he said seriously: "King, the Qi State is indeed strong, but the Tang State is not bad, the Tang State is rich in land and resources, there are mountains and rivers and natural dangers, and it is close to Chang'an, and now the Tang King is young and has never gone to the feudal country, so you are the chief of the princes, and the minister dares to conclude that within ten years, the Tang State will become a great power far beyond the Qi State." ”

"And the Tang King himself, arrogant and domineering, has a stubborn personality... You also know this, now that the Queen Mother is favored, no one dares to murder him, but once the Queen Mother's group of ministers will be the first to do something to the King of Tang, His Majesty will not be able to control this matter, and when the time comes, either the King of Tang will attack Chang'an,

Bloodbathing the ministers, either the Tang State will be removed from the country, and the Tang King will die. Now weaken the strength of our Qi State and strengthen the strength of Tang State. ”

"Isn't that repaying the favor? Now with the protection of the Queen Mother, no matter how strong the Tang Kingdom is, it will not cause jealousy, and if we are all gone in the future, the Tang King will be strong, and there will be no need to worry about the murder of the ministers. ”

Listening to the analysis of the ministers, Liu Fei nodded, and asked eagerly: "Could it be that the ministers will really murder my brother?" ”

The advisor smiled bitterly, "The king.... I'm afraid that now, they are already thinking of a way to deal with King Tang. ”

"Although King Tang is young, this ability is too big, and the ministers are not stupid, so they can naturally see that the changes in His Majesty are related to King Tang. Although they have no intention of rebelling, they don't want the Son of Heaven to be too strong, even if it is Cao Xiang... How could they let King Tang go? ”

"No! I have to go to Cao Xiang! ”

Liu Fei was about to get up suddenly, but the advisor grabbed him, "The king doesn't have to worry about the first emperor when he was alive, he often said that King Zhao was the most father-like, but now it seems that among the kings, only King Tang is the most father-like!" The ministers can't fight him... The king wants to emulate him, you can't always say how strong the Qi country is, you see that the Tang country is so strong, how can the Tang king ever be a little proud? ”

Cao Shen sat in the palace, discussing with the ministers how to implement the new official appointment system in each prince's country, this matter has been determined by the Son of Heaven, and the ministers cannot refute it, and they express their opinions on the specific implementation of the issue, and the conversation is relatively harmonious.

While they were talking, a minister suddenly spoke: "Now all the countries, only the Tang Kingdom is the strongest, and now the Tang King is older, and the son is born, according to the etiquette law, he should also return to his own feudal country. Although the king of Tang is young, he is both civil and military, lenient and enough to govern the country, what do you think? ”

"Good! That's how it should be! ”

The person who spoke was Fan Xu, and I saw Fan Xue frowning and said loudly: "You should let King Tang go to the feudal country!" Can't let him stay in Chang'an anymore! ”

"Yes, over the years, he took those erections to seal the country!"

The ministers rarely reached an agreement on this issue, and those who did not express their views were only Cao Xiang, Chen Ping, and Zhou Bo and a few others.

Cao Shen has a straight face, in the ministers, his positioning is the most complicated, on the one hand, he can be regarded as a minister of Tuogu, according to Liu Bang's entrustment to support the Son of Heaven, and he is the prince's father-in-law, but on the other hand, he represents the interests of the ministers, the Son of Heaven is too strong for him, not strong is not good for him, he needs to grasp a balance point, so that the temple can be orderly war, the family and the country are stable.

This is not easy to do, if you fall to the Son of Heaven too much, the ministers will no longer trust him, if you favor the ministers, then he will become a minister, not only sorry for the emperor, but also involved in the battle with the queen mother.

Cao Shen opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will not agree. ”

His meaning is very clear, it's not that I'm not on your side, it's just that the two people in the palace still have the final say in this matter, and I don't count it.

"Uh... Cao Xiang? Do you think Your Majesty is more fond of your children? Or do you love King Tang more? Does the queen mother love her eldest grandson more? Or do you love King Tang more? ”
