"No."

"Why?!"

Chen Mai looked at his father puzzled, and his face turned red with anger.

Chen Ping's eyes narrowed, "I allowed you to play with the children of the other nobles, but I never let you mix with the children of the royal family. ”

"The king is a heroic man, he is very good to us, and we all respect him! He's my big brother! I'm willing to play with him! ”

"Huh, huh?"

"I don't remember I taught you, it's never a good thing to have a relationship with a royal person."

"But aren't my father and the prince also very close?"

Chen Ping didn't have the patience to continue to explain to his son, he just shook his head, "In the future, you don't go out again, study at home with peace of mind, I don't ask you to go further, as long as you don't lose our family's title, this is enough." ”

"I !!"

"I'll surpass you in the future!"

"I'll earn a knighthood myself!"

Chen Mai was very aggrieved, his eyes were red, this was the first time he roared at his father, but Chen Ping didn't scold him or hit him, just calmly picked up the book and didn't pay attention to him anymore.

......

In most families, the male hostess are not at home, such as Xiahou Ying and Fan Xu, but fortunately, their hostess is not stupid. Fan Yan was the first to prepare gifts, his mother was very supportive of his behavior, and asked him to be closer to the prince, Liu Chang and others, without hesitation at all, directly preparing gifts, among all the families, he contributed the most.

And the wives of Zhou Bo and Xiahou Ying also entered the palace to meet Empress Lu one after another.

"Humph! Vertical stubbornness! I'm going to discipline this guy well! ”

Empress Lu said angrily.

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, they used to be messing around, this time, it can be regarded as doing the right thing, and I hope Her Royal Highness the Queen will not blame... We are here this time, mainly to talk to you, the beloved is on the battlefield, and the affairs of the family fall on us..."

Mrs. Xiahou hurriedly followed, "Yes, but she is still the best ruler of Her Royal Highness the Queen, the prince has the world in mind and can lead the children on the right path... That's a good thing, and we're not against it. ”

The three women were chatting and talking, talking about common things, complaining about the problems at home, complaining about the children's stubbornness, and chatting very happily. They are not stupid, they dare not support the prince, Liu Chang is a natural princeling, they are not here to inquire this time, but to inform. If there is anything in the future, they can be regarded as preparing a case with the queen in advance, and the queen will carry it.

Empress Lu obviously understood what they meant, and her words were also instructed, let them bring their children to the palace more, Empress Lu had never been afraid of Liu Chang, knowing her son Mo Ruomu, she knew that Liu Chang would definitely be Liu Ying's most firm and loyal barrier in the future, Liu Ying was weak, if he went, the ministers and nobles would definitely bully him, and at that time, the tough prince Liu Chang would teach them to be people.

And Liu Chang is now uniting the second generation of nobles, in a sense, this is also a good thing, most of these people will inherit their father's title, Liu Chang is a natural princeling, not surprisingly, these people will also follow Liu Chang to support Liu Ying and protect Liu Ying in the future.

It's just Liu Chang's bastard character... I can only hope that he will be able to restrain a little when he grows up. But this can be regarded as having advantages and disadvantages, at least, Empress Lu can be sure that if someone bullies Liu Ying, Liu Chang will definitely dare to drive him to death! This is something that the other princes don't dare, even if they respect their brother again, they will hesitate and hesitate, but Liu Chang will not, saying that if he dies, he will definitely die.

This kid has always been... Straightforward.

Liu Chang was going to follow his brother to Shangjun soon, and his partners all came to see him off, but Chen Mai didn't come for a long time.

This made Zhou Shengzhi very angry, and he scolded angrily: "This guy is afraid of breaking his fortune, so he avoids us and refuses to come out to meet!" ”

"Chen Mai is not that kind of person!" , Liu Chang said confidently: "Something must have happened to delay it... In this way, Fan Yan, you go to the Chen Mansion to keep an eye on, and when Chen Hou leaves, we will climb over the wall and enter the Chen Mansion and ask Chen Mai what is the matter! ”

That's what Liu Chang said, and he did.

When Chen Mai saw the grizzled eldest brother leading everyone into the study, he was so excited that he almost cried.

Of course, he also said the reason, "Father doesn't allow me to play with the king..."

Liu Chang waved his hand, "This is not a problem at all, I will go to meet Chen Hou, and I can convince him with a few words!" ”

.......

"Isn't Chen Houmo any prejudice against the prince?"

When Empress Lu asked this question seriously, Chen Ping was in a cold sweat.

"How dare you?!"

"Then why don't you approve of your children helping the prince in mining?"

"The minister doesn't know, the minister mistakenly thinks it's a child's joke..."

"Oh... In this way, then it'll be fine, please go back to Chen Hou. ”

When Chen Ping left the palace, his face was full of grief and indignation, there were thieves! O thief! Pig teammates everywhere! There are thieves everywhere! and almost killed Naigong!

has been cheated several times, even if he is a calm person like Chen Ping, he can't suppress the anger in his heart at this moment.

He raised his head, his face was slightly angry, hesitated for a moment, and then released his fist, "Forget it, it's not worth it." ”

If he wants to deal with a vertical man, there is a way, so far, Chen Ping has never failed to get rid of a person, even if he is as powerful as Han Xin, Mao Dun and others, he has also fallen into his scheme, but Chen Ping is not such a paranoid madman. Getting rid of Liu Chang will not do him any good, if he is not careful, it will cause great trouble, well, he can bear it.

Many people will compare Chen Ping with Jia Xu, a strategist in the Three Kingdoms, the same viciousness, the same wisdom and self-protection, and some people even think that he is Jia Xu in the early Han Dynasty. In fact, Chen Ping is different from Jia Xu, Chen Ping is Chen Ping, an extremely dangerous, very restrained ghost, and a unique strategist.

Chen Mai naturally could come out to play with Liu Chang and them again, but Chen Ping personally threw him out.

Chen Mai didn't care about this, he happily found the eldest brother, and followed the eldest brother and began to fool around.

Liu Ying finally dealt with the matter in hand and left Chang'an with Liu Chang.

Empress Lu did not say goodbye in person, but privately sent someone to prepare everything they needed to go back and forth, from food to clothing.

Liu Chang sat beside his brother, said goodbye to his reluctant friends, and left Chang'an happily.

Liu Chang had to go to the mine in order to make something useful, a lot of things, in his mind, but not necessarily applicable to this era, the previous farm tools are the best example, obviously there are so many thoughts, but in the end, the farm tools he designed are not practical at all, and the effort is in vain.

Their group set off towards Shangjun in a mighty way, and the Zhou Mansion, Xiahou Mansion, and Fan Mansion all sent a lot of food and manpower, so Liu Ying's frame was followed by a long queue. Liu Chang couldn't sit still at all, and as soon as Liu Ying didn't pay attention, he jumped down and chatted with those people behind him.

But gradually, Liu Chang couldn't laugh anymore.

Walking east from Chang'an, along the way, you can see the scene of people's livelihood being tired and depressed. But from the west, there is no scene of people's livelihood fatigue at all, because there are no people at all.

Along the way, Liu Chang had already seen four villages, all of which had been turned into ruins.

The low earthen walls that originally surrounded the village had been cracked and blackened by the fire, and the tattered wooden doors swayed in the wind. Liu Ying slowly stretched out her hand and covered Liu Chang's eyes.

The situation in the county town is better, it seems a little empty, but there are still living people. It's just that when those scrawny people looked at Liu Ying numbly, Liu Ying seemed to be stung by this look and hurriedly lowered her head.

Han inherited the Qin system, but the world left by Daqin to the Han was full of devastation, and the Han Dynasty was groping in such a dark night, hoping to find a correct path.

"Second brother... Are you crying? ”

"No... The sand here is too windy.."

ps: I've been busy saving manuscripts or something these days, I'm tired enough, and I saw someone say that the old wolf never explodes, which is a naked slander! The old wolf has always been a diligent and good writer, focusing on readers, and there are so many explosions that I can't count, everyone must believe me!
