"The Marquis of Fenyin is so anxious to see me, there must be something important to tell me, right?"

It was Liu Bang who took the lead in changing the topic.

"Yes."

Zhou Chang then remembered the business he had come to do, and he said solemnly: "Your Majesty wants to abolish the crown prince and make Gongzi Ruyi the prince, this is not right!" ”

"Oh? Although the prince is intelligent, he is too cautious and lacks courage, Ruyi has a free and easy temperament, is martial, has my demeanor, and is more suitable to be the emperor. ”

Liu Bang sat down slowly, without looking at Zhou Chang's words, fiddling with the decorations on his shirt.

"The prince is pure and kind by nature, benevolent and respectful, there is not a day when he does not come to see His Majesty, and he is also very harmonious with his brothers, not to mention that he is smart and studious, and has a benevolent and righteous style, why should such a prince be dismissed?"

"Nothing else, I'll just give you the simplest reason..."

Liu Bang said lightly.

"He's my eldest son! But I'm always bullied by the long shaft! Can such a person be an emperor?! ”

Liu Bang's tone suddenly began to become intense, and his voice was a few points higher than usual, at this moment, he couldn't find the original smiling old rascal on his body at all, majestic and murderous, worthy of being a battle-hardened iron-blooded emperor.

But Zhou Chang was not afraid of him at all.

His face flushed angrily, and he said in a louder voice: "The prince is not afraid of the prince, but because he is young, he loves and forbears!" Isn't that a sin?! ”

"Do you want to choose a prince who is not bullied and can directly kill his brother?"

"Do you want to become the second First Emperor? Want a Huhai? ”

"The minister's eloquence is not good, but I am absolutely sorry to abolish the prince. Break off.. Absolutely can't say yes! ”

Seeing that Zhou Chang was furious, Liu Bang was not so angry anymore, he put away his momentum and looked at Zhou Chang with a smile again.

Zhou Chang was not the first person to persuade Liu Bang, before him, almost all the ministers came to persuade him, Liu Bang's idea of wanting to change the prince had already stirred up monstrous waves in the temple, countless ministers were arguing about this matter, and there were countless people who advised him, of course, most people were vague and told the truth, and Zhou Chang was the first to directly advise without concealment.

In the end, Liu Bang just said a good word slowly, which seemed perfunctory and insincere.

But Zhou Chang couldn't say more.

When Zhou Chang walked out of the Xuanshu Palace, he "coincidentally" met Empress Lü who had come here to find the emperor, Empress Lü was much younger than Liu Bang, she was wearing a crimson dress, as the emperor and empress of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang and Empress Lü had almost opposite dressing styles.

Liu Bang always likes to wear the clothes of the past, after he became the emperor, he wore the former crown, and he only wore luxurious clothes when he went out on patrol, and he usually wore extremely simple clothes when he drank and bragged with the ministers in the palace.

But Empress Lu always wore the brightest and most luxurious clothes, and she was always followed by several palace maids, bowing their heads and accompanying her.

Liu Bang was very arrogant, drinking with the ministers, hooking shoulders when he was drunk, and beating people when he quarreled, but Empress Lu was always cold, with a solemn appearance, like an iceberg beauty.

Zhou Chang hurriedly bowed, but Empress Lu also began to salute, and thanked loudly: "If it weren't for you, the prince would be deposed." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Chang, who has always been bold, was also taken aback.

The issue of the prince has always been sensitive, especially between the empress and the emperor. Because the crown prince who was to be abolished was born to Empress Lu, and the new prince was the son of Mrs. Qi.

Unexpectedly, the queen actually said her heart so generously at the door of the Xuanshu Palace, what she said here, it is impossible for Liu Bang not to know, a rare smile appeared on Zhou Chang's face, but this smile looked a little crazy, he nodded, turned around and left.

Empress Lu lowered her head, and waited until Zhou Chang left, and then walked into the Xuanshu Palace, but her expression was very indifferent throughout the whole process.

When Empress Lu came in, Liu Bang knelt in front of the desk, looking a lot more serious.

Over the years, the relationship between the husband and wife has not been very stable, Liu Bang is crazy infatuated with Mrs. Qi, basically with Mrs. Qi every day, it's not that Empress Lu is no longer beautiful, it's just that the two have been together for too long, Liu Bang may be a little tired.

However, Empress Lu did not cry like ordinary ladies, she accepted this fact very calmly.

Over the years, she has been alone in the empty room, Liu Bang likes to go out, every time she goes out, she takes Mrs. Qi with her, and Mrs. Qi is coquettish in front of him all day long, wanting to let her son Liu Ruyi take the throne, and the position of the prince is shaky, but even so, Empress Lu is not panicked at all, but is more calm and more ruthless.

Liu Bang looked at his wife and was not the slightest surprised by her appearance, as if he had known that she was outside the door.

Lu Hou sat opposite him indifferently, the two looked at each other, but there was no affection in their eyes, with some strangeness, the Xuanshu Hall of Nuoda seemed to be torn apart from it and divided into two halves, like a confrontation between a volcano and an iceberg, while burning a raging fire, but emitting an amazing cold, the two looked at each other calmly.

"I am ready to canonize Ruyi as the king of Zhao."

Liu Bang suddenly spoke.

"It's long overdue."

Liu Bang wanted to say something, but he stopped again and complained: "Maybe I should really listen to the proposal of the Confucians, there is no etiquette in the court, this Zhou Chang actually dares to scold me for being a scumbag!" I see, in the future, find an opportunity to remove him from his status as a doctor of imperial history, and let him go to King Zhao as a minister. ”

Empress Lu looked at him, sneered disdainfully, and said, "Hmm." ”

The husband and wife are very familiar with each other, and they don't even need to say anything to understand each other's thoughts.

After saying these few words, the two fell silent again, they didn't seem to have anything to say, Liu Bang didn't, and Lu Hou didn't. After a long time, a long time, Empress Lu finally stood up, she glanced at the figure that flashed outside the side door, didn't say anything, and turned around coldly and left the Xuanshu Palace.

"Oh, by the way, after you go back, send someone to send Liu Chang to me!"

"Hmm."

After Empress Lu left, Mrs. Qi quickly flashed into the hall, her eyes were red, she rushed into Liu Bang's arms, and cried.

Liu Bang naturally began to wipe her tears in a hurry, and asked the reason, Mrs. Qi said miserably: "Please give our mother and son a death, if the prince ascends the throne in the future, our mother and son will be better than dead." ”

Liu Bang laughed, picked her up, pecked her on the face, and said loudly: "Don't worry, Ruyi will be fine, I have found the best person for him to escort him, with him, Ruyi is safe, after all, she owes him so much favor." ”

When Empress Lu was about to go to Jiaofang Palace, she happened to meet the young prince Liu Ying, who was about to meet the queen.

Liu Ying was followed by four elderly people, but their attitude towards Liu Ying was very respectful, not far behind Liu Ying, with their heads bowed, showing great respect, several old people followed behind a teenager so respectfully, this scene really looked a little discordant.

The prince bowed to Empress Lu very seriously, very respectfully.

Liu Ying is probably the kind of child that all parents want. From childhood to adulthood, he has been very well-behaved, he never dared to disobey his parents on weekdays, he began to study at a very young age, he was filial to his parents, and he was friendly to others, even if he was the demon king of the mixed world, Liu Chang, he was also patient.

He was very courteous to the ministers, very friendly to the scholars, and often found some people to debate academic ideas.

This made Liu Ying get a lot of good reputation, in the entire temple, there was almost no minister who didn't like him, his prestige was very high, that is, Liu Bang acted arbitrarily and recklessly, and he couldn't abolish him, this is a very good child.

Empress Lu walked ahead, and Liu Ying cautiously followed her side.

"The queen mother must not anger her father because of her sons, and her sons don't want to cause discord in the family because of their own reasons, I heard those people say that the royal family is harmonious, and the people of the world are harmonious... If the queen mother is at odds with her father because of her son's ministers, the sons must feel guilty and uncomfortable. ”

"Hmm."

Empress Lu nodded indifferently, the cold was terrible, almost no one dared to raise their heads to look at her, including her biological son Liu Ying, from childhood to adulthood, Liu Ying was also very afraid of this mother, and she spoke carefully, for fear that a word would anger her.

"Your position has been decided, no one can change it anymore, although your father sent someone to save his life, but he can no longer compete with you."

"The queen mother, the sons are not greedy for power, if they can do benevolent government and spread kindness to the world, then the sons are willing to give up this position, and the sons think that the brothers and the harmony are..."

"Hmm."

Empress Lu coldly interrupted Liu Ying's tirade. Liu Ying didn't speak anymore and continued to follow behind Empress Lu.

"I hope that the queen mother will take good care of herself..."

Liu Ying finally said a bunch of words for Empress Lu to take care of her body, and once again made a series of tirades on many problems within the royal family, and then said goodbye to Empress Lu and left.

Over the years, Liu Ying would visit the emperor and empress every day, and every day it was these words that asked them to take care of their bodies, and every day they were some long speeches, quoting scriptures, respectful, and well-behaved.

Under the embellishment of these words, the seemingly sincere face seemed to have become a little fake.
