Chapter 104: It's up to you to toss
"The King... Why don't you go back? ”
Zhou Shengzhi, who was holding the lamb, looked at the mansion in front of him and couldn't help but tremble.
Cao Shen is different from Xiao He, when he was in power, he also habitually used his own set of governing the army, after he came to Chang'an, he dealt with not only Liu Chang, he was a comprehensive strengthening of the security of all the areas controlled by the imperial court, just within a month after taking office, he provided a lot of talents for the mines in Shangjun.
He is not emotional, even if it is at the level of Liu Chang, he will catch it when he says it, and he dares to get started, it is useless for anyone to intercede, he also requires officials in various places according to very strict standards, and eliminated a large number of officials who do not do practical things, re-appoint and dismiss, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have also dismissed a few, and the intensity is so great that even Liu Bang was shocked.
Liu Chang said disdainfully: "If you don't dare to go in, just wait here, I'll go in alone!" ”
After thinking about it for a long time, everyone decided to grit their teeth and go in with Liu Chang.
Liu Chang took the lead in knocking on the door, and soon, a subordinate came out, and when Liu Chang explained his intention, the man went in to pray, and it didn't take long for the man to come out again, and took Liu Chang and them into the courtyard.
Zhou Shengzhi and the others were trembling with fright, but Liu Chang was not afraid at all, sticking out his head and looking around, not knowing what he was looking at.
They were taken to the inner room, where Cao Shen sat on his knees, looking at them coldly, looking very scary.
"Meet Prime Minister Cao!"
Liu Chang hurriedly saluted, everyone saluted one after another, seeing this posture, Cao Shen squinted his eyes, but did not reply.
"Prime Minister Cao Cheng has worked hard! Since arriving in Chang'an, Chang'an has prospered, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the prime minister has made great contributions! Liu Chang said with a smile, hurriedly asked Zhou Sheng to step forward, and said: "This lamb was bought by us and specially dedicated to the prime minister to thank the prime minister for his kindness!" ”
"Say, what are you doing with me?"
Cao Shen asked very flatly.
Liu Chang suddenly decided to change his strategy, he hurriedly said: "That's the case, Prime Minister, you have the heart to govern Chang'an, but you are not familiar with Chang'an, you don't know, in the south of the city, there are dozens of people gathered to play games, and the money is huge..."
Cao Shen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"yes, yes, you all know that, right?"
Liu Chang looked at the brothers behind him, they immediately nodded their heads, and said in a chattering voice: "Yes, there are four mansions in the south of the city, there are no people during the day, and there are princes' children gathered to play at night!" ”
"Also, in the northern suburbs of Chang'an, there are still people who think that they are playing games, and the one who takes the lead is Lihou Lutai!"
"And...."
Everyone talked about the many crimes in Chang'an City, Cao Shen was stunned for a moment, and he asked again: "Is what Gongzi said true?" ”
"Of course it's true, we used to talk to them every day... Forehead... He persuaded them daily, but they did not listen. ”
Liu Chang said seriously: "We all agree very much with the prime minister's governance of Chang'an, if the prime minister does not give up, we are willing to do our best to help!" ”
Cao Shen took out a bamboo slip and a pen from the side, "Come, write down what you just said!" ”
"Okay!"
After writing, Liu Chang personally handed the bamboo slips to Cao Shen, Cao Shen looked down and was furious, he scolded angrily: "Even Chang'an is like this, so what about the situation in various places?!" ”
Liu Chang said cautiously: "Prime Minister, a few of us were ignorant before, and now the prodigal son has turned back, in the future, we are willing to help the Prime Minister, our number is very large, and no one doubts us, we will help you find out all kinds of news, but if there is any situation, we will definitely inform you in time!" ”
"Hmm... It's a good thing that you can change your ways. ”
Cao Shen was finally willing to deal with them, and he said seriously: "In the future, you must abide by the Han law, and you can't rely on your identity to do anything wrong, of course, if you encounter such a thing, you can come and tell me at any time!" ”
"Good! Willing to serve the Prime Minister! ”
Liu Chang took the lead in saluting, and the rest of the people also saluted.
Liu Chang touched his stomach and said to everyone with a smile: "The prime minister once left me to eat... You don't know, that meal was exceptionally delicious, and I still miss it... It's a pity you don't have that blessing..."
Cao Shen stroked his beard, "Then let's all stay and eat." ”
Zhou Shengzhi never thought that one day they would actually have dinner at Cao Shen's house, and Cao Shen's wife was also very happy to see so many dolls, it was the only son of their family who suffered.
"O king... Isn't it a bit unkind for us to do this? ”
Zhou Yafu asked with some hesitation.
Liu Changzheng said awe-inspiringly: "We are doing this for the sake of >>

The people of Chang'an, what's so unkind about this? As the sons of princes, we should obey the law! ”
In this way, the sages of Chang'an can once again go to the streets openly, and the soldiers did not chase them around as before, in exchange, of course, they also kept revealing some news to the prime minister.
They often went to Cao Shen's mansion, and they gradually discovered that Cao Shen was actually a very good person, not as cruel and ferocious as he showed, he allowed these little cubs to play in his mansion, and gave them snacks, and even made them a few wooden horses himself, and the children were not afraid of him, Liu Chang also kicked his nose in the face, and called the middle father directly.
........
"What is this?"
Liu Ying looked at the clothes in her hand blankly, at a loss.
"This is what my sister-in-law asked me to give you..."
"Sister-in-law??"
Liu Ying thought for a moment, and then woke up, his face quickly turned red, and he hurriedly put away his clothes, and the whole person became distracted and speechless.
"My sister-in-law said to let you wear it and look at it, if it doesn't fit, she can change it...."
"No.. No.. Fits, fits perfectly..."
"You're not even wearing it!"
Liu Ying took out a jade pendant and handed it to Liu Chang, "Take this..."
"Give it to my sister-in-law, right?"
"Yes."
"What's in it for me?"
Liu Chang soon became the messenger of Liu Ying and the eldest daughter of the Cao family, escorting gifts to the two, and also making a lot of money and water from it. However, the parents have already confirmed the marriage of the two, but I am afraid that Liu Chang will not be able to make it for too long, and Liu Bang has been a little anxious to do things these days.
He first quickly arranged Liu Ying's marriage, and then ignored the dissuasion of his Confucian uncle Sun Tong, and directly arranged the marriage three months later.
At the same time, Liu Bang officially canonized Liu Heng as the king of Han, Liu Hui as the king of Liang, and Liu You as the king of Wu.
Of course, it's just the king, they are still young, and they can't go directly to the fiefdom.
Liu Heng is okay, he is very calm from beginning to end, even after he is crowned king, he is calm and unhurried, and he can't see the slightest excitement, but Liu Hui is very happy, his fat face is full of smiles, and he can't hide it at all.
"Congratulations to the fourth brother! Fifth brother! Sixth brother! ”
Liu Chang saluted seriously.
"A few brothers are crowned kings, I am very happy, I want to set up a banquet tonight to entertain a few brothers, I don't know what my brother thinks?"
Liu Hui was about to agree, but Liu Heng said calmly: "Eldest brother... We have a king's name, but we have no power... You just entertained us, and we have nothing to give to Tang Guo. ”
Liu Chang was immediately furious, "Could it be that I invited my brother to ask for something?" My brother really underestimated me, and since he despised me so much, he wouldn't invite me! ”
"Okay, don't be angry, how can you let the eldest brother entertain us.... In the evening, I invited my eldest brother to eat meat. ”
Liu Hui comforted, he looked at Liu Heng on the side, and said, "Brother, come along." ”
Liu Heng frowned, looked in the direction of the Xuanshu Palace, and shook his head, "Let's go eat, I still have something... Don't be too ostentatious. ”
"Yui."
In the evening, Liu Chang strode out of the Jiaofang Palace, and was about to go to Liu Hui for dinner, but when he went out, he saw a very young attendant waiting in front of the door.
"Who are you?"
Liu Chang looked at the servant in front of him with some surprise, the servant in the palace, there was nothing Liu Chang didn't know, this one, he really hadn't seen it.
This attendant has a slender figure, a delicate face, and is very good-looking.
"But King Tang?"
"Exactly!"
"The minister pays a visit to King Tang, this is my father's letter, specially sent to King Tang."
Liu Chang took the letter and asked with some confusion: "Who is your father?" ”
"Stay."
"Huh?? Ruhou's reply!! ”
Liu Chang was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the letter, "The minister is not talented, but he is so loved by the Tang King... However, the minister is old and mediocre, and in his old age, he is ashamed of his love for the Tang King... Thank you Tang Wang, and I hope that Tang Wang will focus on his studies and don't have to reply. ”
Liu Chang read it and said with a smile: "It seems that the widow's sincerity still moved Liuhou!" ”
"The widow has to write a few more letters!"
Zhang Bijiang was stunned for a moment, and said with some bitterness: "King Tang, my father is old and sick, and I hope that King Tang can let him go..."
