Chapter 073: Ping An Jade
"The prime minister will actually steal the property of the people and make profits for himself!"
"Are you Xiao He such a person?"
Liu Bang asked with a smile.
As the doorman said, Liu Bang was not angry, but looked happy, staring at Xiao He's face with a smile on his face.
Xiao He was silent for a moment, but he didn't defend himself, "The minister owes His Majesty's grace." ”
"If others do this, I can understand it, but why would you do such a thing, Prime Minister?"
Liu Bang questioned several times, and Xiao He, who asked, turned red, lowered his head, and said nothing.
Seeing Xiao He like this, Liu Bang didn't question him again, but just threw the accusation letters sent by Zhao Yao to Xiao He and scolded: "For the sake of your past achievements!" I will forgive you for your sins! Go and apologize to the people yourself! ”
"Give back everything that was taken from the people!"
Liu Bang finally straightened his face this time, and he looked majestic for a long time.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Go now! ”
Xiao He was about to leave, when suddenly, he stopped, "Your Majesty, in the past few days, the ministers have not been able to see Your Majesty, and there is one thing that needs to be told to Your Majesty." ”
"What's the matter?"
"The area around Chang'an is narrow, there are too few places to farm, your Shanglin Garden occupies a large area, you don't go on weekdays, resulting in it being abandoned in vain, it is better to distribute it to the people, let the people farm there, after the harvest, the grain belongs to the people, and the straw is not allowed to be taken away, left for food for the birds and beasts in the garden..."
Liu Bang was furious, he jumped up suddenly, and pointed at Xiao He in front of him, "You yourself grab other people's land!" But you came to ask for my Shanglin Garden?! ”
"Shameless!"
"Someone! Arrest him! Leave it to Ting Wei! ”
The soldiers rushed into the Xuanshu Hall, looked at the prime minister in front of them, looked a little hesitant, and did not dare to move.
"Don't put it off yet!!"
Liu Bang roared, and the soldiers didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and hurriedly stepped forward to take Xiao He down left and right.
Xiao He raised his head, "Your Majesty... There is a lot of open space in Shanglin Garden... You can't waste it..."
"Put a torture instrument on him! Drag it out! Drag it down!! ”
After the armor dragged Xiao He away, Liu Bang sat on the top angrily, panting heavily, his face was extremely hideous, he covered his heart, stood up, and walked back and forth in the palace, "I will definitely kill you!" Kill you! ”
As he spoke, he walked back and forth a few times, and suddenly calmed down again, and looked at the empty door of the hall.
"Someone's coming!"
"Your Majesty!"
Several armor soldiers knelt in front of him, but Liu Bang's face was extremely hesitant, hesitated for a long time, and waved his hand again, letting them all leave.
The arrest of the prime minister caused an uproar in the DPRK and China.
Xiao He's eldest son, Xiao Lu, hurried home, hugged his young brother and cried, and after entrusting his younger brother to Zhaoping, he hurried out of the door, he wanted to go to his father's friends and ask them to intercede for his father.
The first thing he did was to find Zhao Yao, the imperial historian.
Zhao Yao's attitude towards business, completely lost his usual amiable appearance, "Xiao He committed a crime, Your Majesty wants to punish him, it is according to the law of the Han Dynasty, what else can I plead for?" Is it because of his status as prime minister that his sins can be pardoned? ”
Xiao Lu was dumbfounded, and then angrily defended: "My father is by no means a person who bullies the people!" ”
"I can talk to Your Majesty in person!"
Zhao Yao dropped a sentence and left.
Xiao Lu went to find Chen Ping again, but no matter how he shouted, the people of the Chen Mansion just didn't allow him to enter and stopped him at the door.
He found Xiahou Ying again, Xiahou Ying looked a little embarrassed, he said helplessly: "I went to the palace yesterday and wanted to intercede for the prime minister, but His Majesty refused to meet..."
Xiao Lu suddenly cried in despair.
Seeing Xiao Lu's appearance, Xiahou Ying's face was a little unbearable, so she whispered: "If you want to rescue the prime minister, only one person can do it." ”
"Who?"
"Her Royal Highness..."
"But how can I ask Her Highness the Queen to deliver me?"
"Fan..."
Xiao Lu didn't dare to stay, he thanked Xiahou Ying with a big bow and left in a hurry.

sp; Lu Xiao looked helplessly at Xiao Lu who was kneeling in front of her, she pondered for a moment, "Please get up, I will tell the queen about this, the prime minister has worked hard and made great achievements, and he can't make the heroes feel cold..."
"Great kindness, life should be a title, and death should be rewarded by the grass!"
Xiao Lu bowed excitedly.
But Xiao Lu didn't know that long before he looked for Lu Xiao, there were already people pleading for Xiao He in front of Lu Hou.
"Mother! What kind of person is the Prime Minister? Don't you know yet? ”
"Without him, can we sit here in peace?"
"Even if there is a fault, how can a person of such an age be shackled?! Didn't Father Mo still want to kill him?! ”
Liu Chang stood in front of Empress Lu excitedly, looking irritable, gritting his teeth, and roaring loudly.
The person who can roar at Empress Lu is the only one in the world.
Empress Lu was very calm, she still regarded Liu Chang in front of her as a ball of air, ignored him completely, and calmly read the bamboo slip in her hand.
"Mother! You're talking about it! Father doesn't see me at all right now! As soon as I yelled, he had people throw me out! ”
Hearing this, Empress Lu glared at Liu Chang, who told you to rush in and shout "The King of the Emperor"? It's already polite to just throw it out.
Liu Chang wandered back and forth, just feeling angry in his heart, although he didn't have much contact with Xiao He, and he didn't read much on weekdays, but he knew that Xiao He was definitely a good prime minister. You don't see it, after Xiao He was arrested, Gai Gong was furious, and directly resigned and went home, never going to class again, and didn't even want to stay in the palace.
He didn't understand what his father thought, even a little doll like himself understood the prime minister's personality, didn't he understand?
Just when Liu Chang was complaining to Empress Lu about his father's behavior, a guest suddenly arrived.
The person who came was Liu Chang's aunt Lu Xiao, Liu Chang was angry, and when he saw his aunt, he just saluted sullenly and did not speak.
The two sisters sat together, chatted casually for a few moments, and then, Lu Xiao talked about the real purpose of her coming here.
"Sister, the prime minister has always been a full supporter of Ying, and he has a very close relationship with him... In any case, we should save the prime minister's life. ”
When Empress Lu heard this, her face was very displeased.
"I thought that in these days, you have grown a lot... I didn't expect to be able to say such a thing! ”
In the face of the eldest sister's reprimand, Lu Xiao did not dare to refute it, and bowed her head to be trained.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you really think that Your Majesty will execute Xiao He?"
"He was reluctant to kill Han Xin... Could it be that Xiao He is more terrifying than Han Xin? Is it more powerful than Peng Yue? ”
"The prime minister is friends with the ministers, but he never woos them, supports the prince, but is not close to the prince... Your Majesty won't kill him at all, you don't have to pay attention to this matter..."
As the child's mother, Lu Xiao, under the reprimand of the eldest sister, just lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything at all.
Empress Lu said for a long time, and then said: "By the way, you have to take care of those two stupid boys in your family, don't let Liu Chang take them to mess around again... Especially during this time, long, you also remember for me...."
Empress Lu looked to the side, but it was empty, and Liu Chang had long since disappeared.
"What about others?"
"Wasn't it still there when I came in?"
Empress Lu rubbed her forehead, "This shaft... It's really not worrying..."
"Her Royal Highness!"
"The prince is kneeling in front of the door of the Xuanshu Palace, saying that if His Majesty does not pardon the prime minister, he will not get up...."
The attendant hurriedly walked into the hall and said to Empress Lu.
Lu Hou stood up abruptly and scolded: "None of them are worry-free!" ”
"Someone! Go and arrest Liu Ying for me! If you don't, tie me up!" ”
.......
"Don't cry, leave this matter to us, we all know who the prime minister is!"
Liu Chang gently patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, and then looked at his brothers.
"How can the parents of my brother, who are also our parents, watch him be humiliated?"
"The King... So what do we do? ”
"Who of you knows where the Prime Minister is being held?"
The sages of Chang'an were dumbfounded, looking at each other, how did they know where Xiao He was being held?
