Chapter 013: Stealth

"Childe, your handsaw isn't useful, is it?"

"No, it'll run out soon, I'll send it when the time comes."

Liu Chang couldn't understand their words, what they said sounded a little sharp, and the tone was always up, Liu Chang could hear a few words, but at most that's it. But Liu Heng can communicate with these people normally, and even use their accents to chat.

Those who don't know will never be able to hear that the person who spoke this accent was actually the fourth son of Liu Bang's family.

For some reason, Liu Chang suddenly had a sense of admiration for Liu Heng in his heart, this guy is really powerful.

Liu Heng chatted with them cordially, Liu Chang had almost never seen Liu Heng like this, on weekdays, Liu Heng was always silent and silent, with a straight face, very serious, but in front of these people, Liu Heng was very cordial, it was not a deliberate enthusiasm, it was a kind of closeness when chatting with good friends.

Liu Chang tugged at Liu Heng's sleeve, and Liu Heng remembered the little brother beside him.

"This is my seventh brother, the eldest son."

Liu Heng introduced Liu Chang to them.

The faces of these craftsmen changed greatly, their smiles disappeared in an instant, their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Liu Chang, and their behavior began to become restrained, and several craftsmen knelt directly on the ground and bowed to Liu Changxing, Liu Chang was stunned, such respect that was different from Liu Heng did not make him feel happy.

They seem to respect themselves so much, but after seeing their attitude towards Liu Heng just now, Liu Chang felt that this was just a fake respect that was pretended, and the real respect might be the same as Fang Cai's treatment of Liu Hengshi, talking and laughing, treating each other as a friend he was willing to be close to, rather than a high-ranking master.

People rarely stab their friends, but too many masters have died at the hands of their own slaves.

Liu Chang got the tools, rulers, planers, and files he needed, although he didn't have an axe, he was already able to start making them.

It's just that after leaving here, Liu Chang was not so happy, and his emotions were a little heavy.

"Brother... Is Father a benevolent and righteous Son of Heaven? ”

"Yes."

Then why did he do that to those people? Unclothed.. Why not give them a carriage? ”

"Do you know how many craftsmen built Changle Palace?"

"I don't know."

"Tens of thousands."

"Father didn't starve them, and gave them time to rest, and they only had to survive for a few months after the farm, which is already a great gift."

"Is that a gift?"

"Of course, do you know how many people built the Great Wall in the first place?"

"It should be a lot..."

"Most of them have to bring their own food and don't have much time to rest... In the period of Qin II, it was built all year round, the farmers could not go home, the farmland was deserted, when the food was used up, they could only get a little bit of food every day, shoddy, they wore shackles, lived in the wilderness, and the soldiers would kill the people who could not work at any time... Now that you think about it, is Father a benevolent and righteous Son of Heaven? ”

"Yes."

This time, Liu Chang finally did not hesitate, if compared with the past, Liu Bang is indeed a rare benevolent and righteous son of heaven, building a palace for himself, but only launched tens of thousands of forced labor, food and drink, and the time is still accurate, he would rather miss work than delay the farm, and will not kill people indiscriminately.

"But... I still think they're having a bad time. ”

"It's not just them who have a bad time."

Liu Heng didn't talk to Liu Chang about this aspect again, and said goodbye to him very calmly, but before leaving, Liu Heng stared at his eyes and said heavily: "When you become a prince and king in the future, don't forget the scene you saw today." ”

Liu Chang was stunned in place, watching Liu Heng drift away.

He suddenly felt that maybe this brother was more suitable for the son of heaven than Liu Ying, but unfortunately, the fourth brother was not the eldest son.

Returning to the Jiaofang Palace, Liu Chang, who had all the tools, began to make the spinning wheel, because the design drawings had been made before, so it was much more convenient to make these parts, and he first had to make the heald frame and rack.

He found the wood he had hidden, most of which were square, and he didn't even need Liu Chang to do any other processing, he could use it, because there were no nails, so he could only use mortise and tenon to stabilize the frame.

Mortise and tenon is easy to say, but if you don't know carpentry, it's really difficult to do, Liu Chang has never done mortise and tenon in his previous life, and the first few assemblies have failed because of measurement and wood problems, and they fell apart directly. Because there is no advanced machine, everything has to be done by Liu Chang himself, and it took Liu Chang a long time just to make the mortise and tenon joint.

He was working harder than before, probably because he had seen what the craftsmen were wearing, and the rags were still in his memory.

Just as Liu Chang made the rack and began to assemble the internal parts, Liu Bang prepared for the apprenticeship.

In this era, the apprenticeship is called Shu Xuan, which is generally ten pieces of jerky, in order to show respect, Liu Bang also specially prepared some other things, and when he sent someone to send Liu Chang over, Liu Bang was still instructing Liu Chang: This is for your teacher! Don't steal it!!

Liu Chang is very dissatisfied, am I that kind of person?

Liu Chang finally left the palace, this was his first time out of the palace, and he also became the fourth prince to leave the palace besides Liu Fei, Liu Ying, and Liu Ruyi. Sitting in the carriage, Liu Chang was very curious about everything, but unfortunately, the situation outside the palace was no different from that inside the palace.

There was a gloom everywhere, no one could be seen, the gray buildings cut off everything, and Han Xin's mansion was too close to the palace, Liu Chang had already come to Han Xin's mansion before he even saw anyone, Han Xin had already learned the news and sent people to greet the prince.

The apprenticeship was not as complicated as Liu Chang thought.

It's a simple kneeling salute, offering a bundle, the teacher nods, and that's it.

Liu Chang was very curious about his teacher, in the past, he admired Han Xin more, but after Empress Lu's words, he was a little afraid of Han Xin in his heart, he did know a little about the future, but even so, he also knew about Liu Bang's killing of heroes.

Han Xin seems to have been executed by Liu Bang.

Liu Chang didn't know what Han Xin had done, but he knew that Father was not a person who liked to kill people indiscriminately. From other people's mouths, Liu Chang has learned a lot about Han Xin, Han Xin is indeed very famous in Dahan, and his elder brothers know him well.

However, they are half worshipping and half disdainful of Han Shin.

Liu Ruyi once told Liu Chang in person that Han Xin was just a failed traitor.

In Liu Ruyi's mouth, Liu Changfang learned that Han Xin turned out to be the king of Chu, which was very incredible in the heart of the blind Liu Chang, isn't the king of Chu Xiang Yu? ? Han Xin, the king of Chu, did not do it for too long, after he became the king of Chu, he began to train military horses, hoard food, and make friends...

Liu Bang suddenly couldn't sit still, Han Xin had a criminal record.

At the beginning, Liu Bang fought with Xiang Yu, and was beaten by Xiang Yu and ran around, when Han Xin was in Qidi, winning one after another, so Liu Bang asked Han Xin for help and ordered him to come to the rescue, and Han Xin sent a messenger.

Han Xin's messenger told Liu Bang that it was okay to let Han Xin come to the rescue, but you had to make Han Xin a false king.

Liu Bang was furious, and in front of Han Xin's envoy, he scolded: "Han Xin, I'm trapped here, he doesn't save me, what kind of fake king do you want to be?" ”

When Chen Ping heard this, he immediately kicked Liu Bang hard with his toes.

Liu Bang hurriedly changed his tone and scolded: "Han Xin's shaft is too unambitious!" The big husband pacifies the princes, then he wants to be a real king, why do you want to be a fake king!! ”

Later, Liu Bang ascended the throne and named Han Xin the king of Chu, and soon noticed that Han Xin had bad thoughts, so Liu Bang asked Chen Ping for advice and asked if he should send troops to fight against Han Xin.

Liu Chang felt that Chen Ping must have wanted to scold at that time: crusade against Han Xin? Your Majesty has a bit of a comparison in your heart??

However, Chen Ping still didn't scold, he just asked calmly: "Is your army more powerful than Han Xin's?" ”

"Who among your generals can beat Han Shin?"

Then Liu Bang shut up and began to ask if there was any safe way.

Chen Ping gave him Yun Mengze's plan, and asked Liu Bang to pretend to be Yun Mengze, and wanted to meet with all the princes in Chenzhou. Chen Zhou was in the western boundary of Chu, Han Xin heard that the Son of Heaven was traveling and was on his territory, so he came to meet him, and when he met Liu Bang, Liu Bang directly sent someone to tie him up and arrest him back.

In this way, without spending a single soldier, Liu Bang captured Han Xin, and removed his king of Chu on the charge of rebellion, and changed his title to Marquis of Huaiyin.

Even so, Liu Bang didn't kill him, and he ended up forever, speaking of which, Liu Bang is really not a person who loves to kill, as far as Han Xin's behavior is concerned, any other king is probably going to be killed.

Therefore, Liu Chang felt that Han Xin would be executed by Liu Bang, and he must have done something big after that, which caused Liu Bang to kill him.
