Liu Chang was secretly hugged in by the armor.

This was an order given by Empress Lu.

Just when Liu Chang was struggling to get up, Liu Ying came in a hurry, so Liu Chang put his only hope on Liu Ying's body. The second brother is the crown prince, and his father is not here at present, he can already be regarded as the number two person in the court, and his speech can probably play a role, right?

As for Han Xin, he was in the palace at the moment, sitting in the pavilion, talking and laughing with Xiao He and eating.

There was a sword beside him, but Xiao He was not afraid at all.

Around them, hundreds of armor soldiers stood, almost making the water around the pavilion impassable, not even a fly could fly out. And Empress Lu herself is not here, she has already sent Lu Shizhi to hunt down Han Xin's disciples and subordinates.

Obviously, she didn't worry about what else Han Xin could do at all.

While the two were eating and drinking, there was a sudden commotion among the soldiers in the distance, Xiao He noticed this, but Han Xin ignored it. A moment later, a man parted from the waves of armor and walked through them.

The person who came was the prince of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying.

Xiao He slowly got up and bowed to him.

Han Xin ignored this prince, in all fairness, he even looked down on Liu Bang, the emperor, let alone just a son of Liu Bang?

Liu Ying politely returned the salute to Xiao He, and saluted Han Xin with the courtesy of the princes.

"Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince urging him so much?"

Xiao He asked a little puzzled.

Liu Ying knew that he had misunderstood him, shook his head, and said, "I am at the request of my eldest brother to save the life of the Marquis of Huaiyin. ”

Han Xin Yile said: "This kid is honest. ”

A hint of loneliness flashed on Xiao He's face, he shook his head, and said, "The prince is merciful, it's just... This is the order of Her Royal Highness the Queen. ”

When Liu Ying heard this, she hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I promised the eldest brother, I have to do what I say, Prime Minister, you once told me that people can't stand in this world without credit." ”

Xiao He didn't know what to say, and pondered for a moment, "Then the prince can go to Her Royal Highness the Queen, whether he can say it or not, it can be regarded as not breaking his promise." ”

Liu Ying nodded, and then left here.

"Why did you deceive him?"

"The prince is kind-hearted, if I don't say so, he won't leave."

Han Xin shook his head and said disdainfully, "How could he make such a prince?" ”

"No, such a prince is very good, and when all the wars have passed, he will definitely become a better emperor than his father."

Xiao He looked very confident, "He has a good heart, from the ministers to the people, there is no one who does not love him, and there is no brother who does not admire him, it is precisely because of such a prince that we old ministers can meet with peace of mind." ”

Han Xin sneered, he didn't agree with Xiao He's words, Xiao He is indeed very accurate in seeing people, and this kid does have a lot of advantages, but he just lacks a little bit of courage, if he has Liu Chang's courage, it must be a hero who far surpasses Liu Bang, but it's a pity.

Looking at his submissive appearance, Empress Lu is still so young and so strong, and when Liu Bang is gone, it is a question whether Liu Ying said that this matter in the court is a problem.

Han Xin looked at Xiao He's confident appearance in front of him, and he was very puzzled, couldn't he even see through the things that he could easily see?

Or, does he have a way to stop this?

Perhaps, just self-soothing?

Han Xin was about to open his mouth to taunt Xiao He and tell him about the possible chaos in the future, but he was suddenly stunned.

If there really is such a day... Everything in the court belonged to Empress Lü, and there was a huge contradiction between the emperor and Empress Lü... The Lu family and the Liu family compete for the throne... He suddenly remembered how difficult it was for Liu Chang to sit in front of him and complain to him about how difficult it was to be an emperor.

Xiao He saw Han Xin in front of him suddenly in a daze, motionless, and sniffed the wine glass in his hand with some surprise, "Are you okay?" ”

Han Xin came back to his senses suddenly, he hurriedly stood up, and as soon as he stood like this, the surrounding armor soldiers suddenly put down their spears, "Brush ~~", the chill was pressing.

"I want to see Empress Lu one last time, I have something very important to tell her!"

Xiao He frowned and sat quietly for a long time.

"It's about this war, please trust me."

"Alas.... Good... After seeing you, please go on the road and leave it to yourself decently. ”

When Han Xin appeared in front of Empress Lu again, Empress Lu was really surprised, she looked at Xiao He in dismay, as if asking, why is this guy still alive?

Xiao He said helplessly: "Before parting, the Marquis of Huaiyin said that he had something important to tell His Royal Highness the Queen. ”

Lu Pheasant looked disdainful, she and Han Xin are actually the same kind of people, extremely confident, and they don't look down on others very much.

Han Xin said: "Please leave a few trusted palace maids, let the armor soldiers tie me up, and then let the others leave the main hall." ”

Although Empress Lu didn't know what he wanted to do, he still did it.

There were only two people left in the hall, Han Xin and Lu Hou.

"Say, what's important about you?"

"I am willing to serve Her Royal Highness and serve Her Highness."

"Hahaha~~~"

Empress Lu laughed out loud.

"Ling Ran, who was still showing righteousness just now, has come to beg me for mercy and said something ridiculous at this moment, what is the reason for this? Liu Ying also came to intercede for Your Excellency, and I have already sent someone to send him back to the palace and ask him to reflect behind closed doors... Now, are you ready to come and beg for mercy yourself? ”

"Your Highness misunderstood, I didn't mean to beg for mercy, I mean, I'm willing to serve Your Highness."

Han Xin didn't feel any shame in this, when he was young, he experienced even more humiliating things.

Empress Lu understood his words, not to serve the Han with peace of mind, but to serve the queen.

Empress Lu squinted her eyes and asked disdainfully, "What can you help me?" When the world is peaceful, what use do you have? ”

"The emperor is alive, and the princes everywhere are still making trouble, not to mention what will become of the emperor when the emperor is not there, how can this be said to be peaceful in the world?"

"Besides, whether I'm useful or not is your own business, and it's up to you how you plan to use me. If you use me wisely, my talents can help you accomplish anything. If you don't know how to use me, even if ten Hanxin are in your hands, it won't make any difference. ”

Empress Lu really hesitated this time.

.......

Soon, news came out from Chang'an that Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, had failed in his rebellion and had been arrested and imprisoned.

In this regard, the ministers of the DPRK and China just felt incredible.

How could the Marquis of Huaiyin rebel? He was under house arrest in Chang'an, far away from his fiefdom, and there were less than ten people available around him, how could he dare to rebel? Why rebel?

Since the rebellion failed, why did he just go to prison? Why not kill?

Don't think that only the Qin Dynasty has strict laws, the Han Dynasty also has the same, the same complete, including all aspects, according to the Han law, don't say that you rebel, that is, you are forced to follow the thief, that is to punish your three clans. Han Xin was caught in his first rebellion, Liu Bang did not kill him, and many ministers advised him, thinking that shielding the rebels in this way would cause more people to rebel, and they would not hesitate as before, anyway, the price after the rebellion was so low.

And Han Xin is the second rebellion, and he still doesn't kill him? Is there any reason for this? Is there still a royal law?

When Liu Chang woke up, seven or eight strong palace maids stood in front of him, after the last escape, Empress Lu was very angry, and directly ordered him to be grounded, and he was never allowed to leave Jiaofang Hall again, not even Tianlu Pavilion.

Liu Ying was also implicated, he was originally to assist Empress Lu in governing the country, but he was also grounded at the moment, it is said that because he refuted Empress Lu, Empress Lu almost beat him.

For a time, there was a lot of noise in the harem, and the princes were all pressed in the palace by their mothers and were not allowed to go out.

"I want to see my eldest brother, and they say he's seriously ill..."

"Still going to see him? See what to see! He escaped this time, and he was fine, but he hurt you, and he rode your horse! How can I have a stupid son like you?! He and Lu Pheasant are basically in the same group, and they want to harm you together! You will never be allowed to see him again! Stay away from him! Got it?! ”

Mrs. Qi crossed her waist and reprimanded Liu Ruyi loudly, and Liu Ruyi's face was full of disbelieving.

On the other side, Bo Ji took out the meat porridge he had just made, carefully handed it to Liu Heng, and explained: "This is what I made myself, take it to your eldest brother to taste, the half-grown child, it's really hard for him, accompany him more, don't reprimand him... Got it? ”

"Hmm."

In the dark cell, Han Xin was wearing a prison uniform, his hands and feet were shackled, and his back was against the wall, and his body was covered in bruises.

Despite being in such a situation, Han Shin's eyes were still bright.

If he had been in the past, he might have committed suicide because he couldn't stand such an insult, but now he doesn't.

"There's still a chance...."

"That's not my chance, though... It's yours...."

"Hahahaha~~~"

Han Xin laughed, picked up the steamed cake that had been thrown on the ground and devoured it.
