Empress Lu gently stroked Liu Chang's back.

The boy lay in his mother's arms and fell asleep peacefully.

Liu Ying walked into the Jiaofang Hall and was about to speak, Empress Lu shook his head, Liu Ying glanced at the sleeping Liu Chang, did not speak, and sat carefully in front of Empress Lu.

"Ting Wei has already captured Luan Bu and Zhang Budo."

Liu Ying said in a low voice.

Empress Lu pondered for a moment and said, "Let them sober up for two days before releasing them." ”

"Well... The farmer...."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Empress Lu's eyes, "You want to intercede for him?" ”

Liu Ying lowered her head, "Mother, he could have left... He found Tingwei and told him about it, and I had already asked him, and he said that he couldn't bear to see... Mother and son cannibalize each other, so they said that they hope to stop the eldest brother in time to prevent him from making a big mistake.... He's not a bad guy. ”

"What do you know, lock it up first, and I'll interrogate it myself."

"Yui!"

Liu Ying didn't dare to refute Empress Lu at all, he secretly glanced at Liu Chang and asked, "Then this matter...."

"You are the master of the world's major affairs, and I am the family matter."

"Yui!"

Liu Ying left quickly, and in the Jiaofang Palace, only Empress Lu and Liu Chang were left.

When Liu Chang rubbed his eyes, yawned, and sat up, Empress Lu was still caressing his back, and Liu Chang shouted with sleepy eyes: "Mother! Hungry! ”

Empress Lu glanced at the case on the side, Liu Chang turned his head to look, it turned out that his mother had already prepared food, he hurriedly got up, sat in front of the case, and ate heavily. Empress Lu looked at him, pondered for a moment, and said, "Luan Bu and Zhang Budo have been imprisoned by Tingwei. ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

Liu Chang was almost choked, and Empress Lu glared at him, "Eat slowly!" ”

Liu Chang raised his head and asked angrily, "Xuanyi, this old donkey, dare to arrest my housekeeper?" ”

"I asked him to catch it... Also, it is not allowed to be disrespectful to Xuangong. ”

"Huh? Mother, what are you doing with them? Forget about arresting Zhang Budo, I had long expected that this guy would be in prison sooner or later, but why should I arrest Luan Bu? ”

"Luan Bu wants to kill the Marquis of Biyang, and then commit suicide to apologize."

"Zhang Budo stopped him, the two fought, if Ting Wei went late, you can collect the bodies for the two of them."

Liu Chang was dumbfounded, "Why... Why do they do this? ”

"Because they are your vassals."

"Luan Bu is willing to die for you, Zhang Bu is undoubtedly invincible to Luan Bu, but he also dragged Luan Bu for nearly half an hour.... The beaten probably didn't even recognize Liuhou. ”

"They are your vassals, and they love you... Therefore, the Marquis of Biyang is not your enemy, they don't want you to bear the notoriety, if you say the enemy, your father may be your enemy, he ordered the detention, and he will not save him when he sees death. ”

"Do you understand?"

"Mother... Let them out. ”

"Let them be sober, do things so recklessly, if there is no Ji Bu, they almost made a big mistake, I thought that Luan Bu is a stable person and can entrust big things, but I didn't think that after following you for several years, it has become like this!"

Empress Lu seemed to be very dissatisfied with Luan Bu, "This time, I must let him remember it for a long time." ”

When Liu Chang left the palace, the person who came to greet him was Ji Bu, Liu Chang glanced at Ji Bu, and said with some displeasure: "Isn't this the Queen Mother?" Why are you standing here? ”

Ji Bu didn't care about Liu Chang's ridicule, he replied: "It's here to wait for the son of the Queen Mother." ”

"Oh, worthy of being a loyal servant of the widow... Waiting here so early. ”

"Your Majesty, you are still young, and when you are a few years older... It is natural to understand who is doing the right thing. ”

Liu Chang lost a few words, but he didn't blame it, got into the car, Ji Bu took him all the way to Tang Wangfu, and when he walked in, everyone was having fun, and Zhang Yan was also here. He is very hesitant every day, but every time he still comes here to play, and he gradually gets used to the taste of being beaten, Liu Le is very dissatisfied, and feels that Liu Chang has brought his good son badly, but Zhang Ao doesn't care, he thinks that the eldest husband should be like this!

Previously, Zhang Yan entered the court lieutenant, Liu Le was so frightened that his face turned pale, but Zhang Ao was very happy, and sighed that his son had finally grown up, but Liu Le almost beat the father and son together.

When Liu Chang arrived, the sages came to meet him one after another, and Liu Chang said solemnly: "The widow has something important to inform you!" ”

"Huh? King? What happened? ”

"Luan Bu has entered the court captain..."

Liu Chang said helplessly, everyone's faces changed greatly, and they scolded Tingwei, "How come such a good person as Luan Sheren is also imprisoned?!" ”

"Yes! This donkey is really good or bad! ”

"How many sins should the Luan Sheren suffer in it..."

Seeing that the sages spoke for Luan Bu one after another, Ji Bu suddenly felt a little relieved, although these people were bastards, they were still quite affectionate.

Zhou Shengzhi's words changed sharply, and he hurriedly said: "Before the Luan Sheren came out, we had to be honest, but now no one will come to catch us!" ”

Ji Bu's face darkened, and he still looked down on these bastards.

Because the weather is too cold, Qunxian has no interest in climbing over the wall to borrow sheep... Just lit a fire in the yard, used a wooden board to skate, had a snowball fight, etc., Liu Chang didn't play with them for too long, just stood aside with a smile and watched them play.

"The king is much more powerful than I thought."

"Oh?"

Liu Chang glanced at Ji Bu, "Don't think I'm weak just because I have been defeated, when I am a few years older, I will let you know what it is to be strong!" ”

Ji Bu stroked his beard, "When I say strong, I don't mean bravery, but courage. ”

"In this life, the most important thing for a widow is courage."

"This is the most father-like point of the king, the emperor is like this, no matter what happens, he will never be defeated."

"Fart, he won't be defeated? At the beginning, he was chased by Xiang Yu and ran all over the ground... Do you think I don't know, every time he holds a banquet, he shamelessly brags, saying that he has never been defeated once in his life, and I actually believed it when I was a child! ”

"The Emperor is right, he has indeed never been defeated."

Liu Chang looked at Ji Bu with disdain, and didn't pay attention to this traitor who could only flatter him.

At this time, the people of Fan City suddenly came to Liu Chang's side, "Wang, your good brother is here, waiting outside the door." ”

"Oops! My good brother is here! ”

Liu Changxi hurriedly shouted: "Don't play!" Follow the widow to meet the widow's friend! ”

Tang Wang's good brother stood outside the door, he was followed by a few entourages, he was wearing a thick fur fur, his face was red from the cold, seeing Liu Chang leading everyone out, he hurriedly stepped forward, and was about to meet him, but Liu Chang helped him up, "You and my brother, don't be polite!" ”

"King, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're tall again... You will be the strongest warrior in the future! ”

"Hahaha, it must be so! Let's go, follow me into the house! ”

Liu Chang took his hand and led him into the mansion, "I was about to send someone to pick you up, how did you find here?" ”

"The armor of the city gate brought me."

"How's the Yue's situation?"

The two entered the inner room, the good brother shook off the snow on his body, sat in front of Liu Chang, and when he talked about Yue's, he shook his head bitterly, "The situation is not very good... Since the last time the Yueshi fought against the Xiongnu, Mao Dun has held a grudge against the Yueshi and fought three battles, I also participated, and almost died on the battlefield. ”

"We are no match for the Huns at all, we have given up the original pasturelands, which were all taken away by the Huns... If it weren't for the king who took in our old and weak and let them leave in advance, I am afraid that they would all die under the sword of the Huns. ”

"Huh? Why don't you ask for help? ”

"King, the Huns have surrounded us, surrounded by three layers on all sides, we can't go out to deliver letters at all, the knights sent are all caught by the Huns and cut off their heads... If it weren't for this heavy snowfall, Mao Dun would have led the troops back, and I might not have been able to come to Chang'an again. ”

Liu Chang frowned, the Yue clan is also a powerful tribe, in the vast grassland, the Huns can fight they can't even go out to ask for help, this Mao Dun, it's really powerful.

"Don't run anymore... If you run any further, you won't have to fight the Huns, and you'll starve to death... Come to the Tang Kingdom. ”

"Huh?"

"Directly migrate to the territory of the Tang Kingdom, and the widow will give you a piece of land in Shangjun, your king only needs to serve my brother as the Son of Heaven, and he does not need to serve me as the lord, he will still be his king, continue to manage his own tribe, and the Tang Kingdom will protect you."

The good brother lowered his head, his face a little hesitant.

Liu Chang was furious, "Can't you still believe me?" Can I still annex your tribe? If you don't believe me, then leave! I don't have you as a friend! ”

"King, of course I believe in you, but I have a humble status and can't be the master in this matter, so I have to let my king make a decision."

"Okay, I'll give the Yue Clan Wang a letter, and bring it back to me when you leave!"

"Good!"

........

Empress Lu and Ji Bu appeared in Tingwei, and Xuanyi hurriedly asked the subordinate officials to wait outside, and he followed the queen mother to the prison.

Empress Lu walked into the prison, her eyes were cold, and under the leadership of Xuanyi, she soon came to the farmer's side.

"Xuan Gong, you wait outside."

"Yui!"

Xuanyi said goodbye, Lu Hou looked at the farmer in front of him, across the fence, the farmer knelt in front of Lu Hou, frightened to the extreme,

"Who sent you? King Zhao? Chen Ping? Cao Shen? ”

Hearing Empress Lu's questioning, the farmer raised his head in horror and said, "The Queen Mother spares her life!" ”

"I ask you... Who sent you? ”

Empress Lu asked very calmly.

The farmer cried: "No one sent us here, I traveled with the master in the Tang Kingdom, and the master was very happy to see the farm tools of the Tang Kingdom, so he took me to meet the king... The master is indeed with the Tang Wang... We are outside, we don't know about Chang'an, we all think that King Tang knows the truth..."

"Oh? Is it? ”

"After the master found out that King Tang didn't know, he never said anything about it again..."

"Then why do you want to bewitch King Tang again?"

"I... I'm afraid, I'm afraid that King Tang will kill me, he persecuted me repeatedly, I don't dare not say it..."

"Then why are you looking for Captain Ting?"

The farmer's expression was sluggish, and he said in a daze: "The king didn't beat me..."

"What?"

"The king didn't hit me... Didn't kill me either... He told me to run...."

"Hehehe."

Empress Lu sneered, "Do you think I'm as foolish as King Tang?" ”

The peasant trembled, "Don't dare to deceive the Queen Mother.... The master once taught me: People should not take people's food for no reason, and people should not take people's lives for no reason... King Tang is not a bad person... I don't want him to die because of me...."

Empress Lu squinted her eyes and said coldly, "Kill." ”

"The Queen Mother...."

The farmer began to cry again, and his expression almost collapsed.

Ji Bu glanced at him and said, "Queen Mother, let's wait for this matter to be clarified, and then let Tingwei come to trial, there are still many doubts now, and you can't help others to extinguish their mouths." ”

Empress Lu hesitated slightly, "Okay." ”

After Empress Lu left, Ji Bu did not leave with her, but went to find Luan Bu and Zhang Budo, when Ji Bu saw Luan Bu, he was also startled, Luan Bu had his hair scattered, there were several scars on his face, and one eye was almost open.

"Zhang Budo can beat you like this?"

Ji Bu was a little surprised, he knew the strength of these two people, although Luan Bu was not very brave, but the swordsmanship still had merit, as for Zhang Budo, he had brute force, and he was not Luan Bu's opponent at all.

"Hmph."

Zhang Budo snorted coldly, and Ji Bu saw Zhang Budo lying next to Luan Bu, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he basically couldn't get up after being beaten, and he couldn't even recognize him if he didn't look carefully, Ji Bu smiled.

Luan Bu and Zhang Budo didn't look over, didn't look at Ji Bu, and expressed their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Ji Bu asked, "Do you know what is wrong?" ”

"Wrong? Even if it is wrong, it is also a matter of loyalty to the king, unlike someone who eats the king's fortune and does not serve the king. ”

"Stupid."

Ji Bu made a straight face, "Between the king and the queen mother, there must be no centrifugation. ”

"If there is no queen mother, what will the king become? He will become the most dangerous and cruel tyrant of the Great Han.... The Great Han will unleash a huge civil war... Brothers cannibalize each other, ten rooms and nine emptiness..."

"If there is no king, what will become of the queen mother? She... You know for yourselves! ”

"When the peasants came, I told you to look at the king, and you must not let the king come into contact with the peasants alone, but what about you? So easy to be deceived by the king... How do you give up people?! ”

Ji Bu reprimanded loudly, and Luan Bu and Zhang Budo were immediately speechless.

"My old man, in the future, you will definitely assist the king... If you continue to act like this in the future, and act recklessly, no one will be able to stop you. ”

Ji Bu said, turned around and left here, leaving only Luan Bu and Zhang Budo looking at each other.

And at this time, Liu Chang was trying out the horse.

The good brother sent Liu Chang a BMW, this horse is extremely tall, white, with long limbs, and it is also the most handsome kind in the war horse, and Tang Wang is very compatible, as soon as Tang Wang saw this horse, he loved it very much, the sages surrounded the war horse, and the war horse was not afraid, the good brother handed Liu Chang the forage, Liu Chang was bold, and went directly to feed.

The war horse buried its head in Liu Chang's hand and gnawed the forage.

Liu Chang smirked, "Good brother, this is too precious, it's too precious!" How can the widow be embarrassed to accept it! ”

"The king doesn't have to be like this, the king took in the people of my Yue clan, the people of the Yue clan are in Shang County, they have not been bullied by the officials, and they are living better than in their hometown... This horse was chosen by my king and brought to you. ”

"Hahaha, okay!"

Liu Chang gently stroked the horse's face, and the horse snorted.

Liu Chang looked at the people around him excitedly, "What do you say, what should be the name of this war horse?" Is it called Cao Shen or Ji Bu? ”

"It's better to call it Xuanyi!"

The good brother said on the side: "Don't be in a hurry to ride, the king is in a hurry, this horse is very strong, it is best to feed it for four or five days, and then ride..."

"Got it! Got it! ”

As a return gift, Liu Chang gave the king of the Yue clan a strong bow of the big man, this kind of big bow does not play a role in riding and shooting, but it is very good-looking, and it is very suitable for showing off at home. This big bow was given to Liu Chang by Lu Chan, and Lu Chan had spent a lot of money to buy this big bow, but he couldn't use it, so he gave it to Liu Chang, and Liu Chang liked it at first, but the role of this big bow decoration was greater than the actual effect, so it has been placed in the mansion to eat ashes.

As for the good brother, Liu Chang asked him to bring some iron back in the Tang Kingdom as a gift.

"Good brother, you must persuade the king of your family, the Huns are cruel, and they have always done things to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he will never let go of the Yue clan, if the king of the Yue clan is willing to come to my county, you can get the peace of the tribe, and those people you sent before are also living well in the county...."

Liu Chang explained several times, and the good brother solemnly said goodbye to Liu Chang.

As soon as the good brother left, Liu Chang couldn't wait to say: "Fan Yan, Zhou Shengzhi, come, stand here, I want to get on the horse!" ”

"Huh? King... The man said that this horse is very strong.."

"If it's not a fierce horse, I won't ride it!"

.......

"Mother!"

When Liu Chang happily walked into the Jiaofang Palace, Empress Lu gritted her teeth, her eyes full of anger.

She stared at Liu Chang's muddy, torn and tattered clothes, "Are you going to fight the Huns in the clouds?" New clothes in the morning! You shaft!! ”

Liu Chang was ready to flee at any time, and said in a low voice: "No, it's all to blame for that armor soldier, if you have to come out to patrol on a snowy day, it's just a patrol, and you have to chase me... I fell down..."

Empress Lu took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in her heart, and scolded: "Go in and change your clothes!" ”

"Okay!"

Liu Chang smiled and rushed into the inner room, and soon, he changed into a set of clothes, walked out, sorted out his ties, and said: "Mother, I can't wear this clothes, it's small, and it makes me uncomfortable..."

He looked up, but saw another person sitting in front of Lu Hou.

Seeing this person, the smile on Liu Chang's face suddenly disappeared.

Because, this person is the Marquis of Biyang.

He straightened his body and sat in front of Lu Hou, his face was very solemn.

Liu Chang turned around and was about to go back, but Empress Lu said, "The Marquis of Biyang is here to find you..."

Liu Chang stopped, Lu Hou got up, walked to Liu Chang's side, motioned for him to sit down, but he went into the inner room, obviously to let them talk alone.

Liu Chang reluctantly sat in front of the judge, even though he no longer pursued the past, but he had no way to smile and face the person in front of him.

"What's the matter with me?"

"I came to the king to tell him the truth."

"Heh... What is the truth? ”

Liu Chang smiled disdainfully and shook his head, "You go, I don't like you, don't come to me again." ”

"No, the king ought to know.... If the king asks me and wants to kill me, the king can do it at any time. ”

These words made Liu Chang extremely angry, he stood up and scolded: "Old horseman! I've said I don't want to pursue it, what are you still talking about here! Are you trying to force me to kill you? Do you know how Chelcher died?! ”

"I know, Kuaiche bewitched the king of Chu to rebel and was stabbed to death by the king."

"Uh... I could stab him to death! I can stab you to death! ”

"The minister knows... However, before stabbing the minister, please sit down and listen to me. ”
