Chapter 111: Misfortune Leads to the East

Liu Bang has played Liu Chang countless times in his life, and he has succeeded every time.

Only this last time, he failed.

The world was spinning, when Liu Chang staggered to his father's spirit, he saw his father's sleeping appearance, and the attendants couldn't stop him, he hugged his father's head and cried, "I won't say that your singing is bad anymore..."

"I won't you off anymore..."

The attendants hurriedly stepped forward to pull him away, but the three attendants failed to take Liu Chang away.

The sunlight also became a little cold and biting, and Chang'an, which was already gray and desolate, looked even more miserable because of the vegetarianism everywhere.

The cries in the palace came and went, and Shusun Tong got up in grief and began to take charge of the emperor's funeral.

The first emperor of the Han Dynasty left, the pillars of the palace were gone, the backbone of the ministers was lost, and even Shusun Tong was not as calm as before, and he almost made a mistake in the issue of etiquette, this was the first time that the Han Dynasty used the etiquette of mourning for the Son of Heaven, and the enthronement and mourning were all responsible for Shusun Tong alone.

Liu Chang didn't know how long he had been crying, and he didn't know how he had returned to the Jiaofang Palace, he was lying on the bed, still sobbing constantly.

The next day, when Liu Chang got up blankly and sat on the bed, the attendant had already prepared food for him.

Liu Chang's eyes were red, his expression was in a trance, and he looked straight ahead.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat..."

The attendant whispered.

"Where's Mother?"

"Your Highness is in the Hall of Changxin...."

"When did you go?"

"It's... The queen and the kings stayed in the hall of Changxin for one night..."

Liu Chang struggled to get up, and walked towards the outside of the hall in a few steps, and the attendant was shocked, and hurriedly said: "The queen wants the king to rest in the palace..."

"It's going to... Eat first..."

Before the waiter's words were finished, Liu Chang had already left the Jiaofang Palace, and the waiter reluctantly followed.

Inside the palace, there are almost no people to see, and outside the Changxin Palace, there are kneeling people, these are all people who come to mourn for the emperor, the outer hall is full of foreign ministers, some of these ministers are crying, some knocking on the ground, trembling all over, Liu Chang passed by them, and did not look at them.

Walking up the stairs and rushing to the inner hall, it was the brothers and the royal family.

Except for Shusun Tong, no one noticed Liu Chang's arrival, and Liu Chang knelt behind Liu Hui with his head bowed.

He didn't cry anymore, but tears came out of his eyes again, this time, he just wept silently.

The second brother knelt in the front, his tall body collapsed, as if someone had pulled out his bones, leaving only a weak skin, swaying, wrinkled into a ball, his expression was even more trance-like, Uncle Sun Tong had to remind him every once in a while, and he would shout loudly, "Father and Emperor are back!" His voice was hoarse and his expression was numb.

The fourth brother cried into tears, and at the moment he was just crying silently, the fifth brother was still crying, crying heartbreakingly, and the sixth brother's eyes were full of fear, looking at his father's direction blankly.

On the side of the second brother, it is the mother.

Mother's eyes were red, her hair was a little messy, she had a straight face, as always, but only Liu Chang saw her trembling hands.

Further back, there are Liu Xi, Lu Shizhi, Lu Xuan, Fan Xu, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Xiahouying and others.

Liu Chang raised his head and looked in the direction of his father, his father's face and words kept appearing in front of him, Liu Chang took a deep breath, raised his head stubbornly, and forcibly endured to stop crying.

Empress Lu lowered her head, her whole body was trembling slightly, she didn't cry like others, let alone hysteria, from last night to now, she seemed very calm, the emperor is gone, there needs to be someone to leave the pain for a while, stand up, and appease the heart of the world, the hearts of the ministers, and even the heart of the clan.

"Mother."

A powerful hand suddenly grabbed Lu Hou's arm.

Empress Lu raised her head and saw Liu Bang's face in a trance.

Liu Chang continued: "Mother, you haven't eaten for a day... Go have a meal and come back again, I'll kneel here for you. ”

Empress Lu didn't answer, and Uncle Sun Tong, who was standing aside, reminded in a low voice: "The king... The queen and the crown prince should be jealous..."

"You rotten! Shut up! ”

"I have lost my father, and you want to kill my mother?!"

Liu Chang raised his head suddenly, his eyes fierce.

Shusun Tong was really taken aback, his legs were weak subconsciously, he couldn't have imagined that he would see the kind of eyes of a child when the emperor wanted to kill, and he was very->> in that look

The familiarity also made him very frightened, and he hurriedly changed his words and said: "The minister does not dare to stop the king from doing his filial piety." ”

Liu Chang looked at his mother again.

Empress Lu pursed her lips and ignored Liu Chang.

Liu Chang wiped his tears and pleaded: "Mother, I don't have a father anymore, I can't lose you anymore..."

Empress Lu trembled, with the support of Liu Chang, she slowly got up, the ministers inside and outside the hall looked at this scene in surprise, Empress Lu glanced coldly, those people all lowered their heads, none of them dared to look at her directly, with the support of Liu Chang, Empress Lu slowly left here.

Empress Lu looked at the food in front of her, and she had no appetite.

Little Liu Chang sat in front of her.

"Mother doesn't have to be sad... Father must be bragging to Father now..."

"He... He must have put his arms around the fairies and sang to them..."

Liu Chang struggled to explain, his eyes were red, but he tried his best to squeeze out a smile on his face.

Empress Lu began to eat.

Empress Lu did not come to Changxin Hall again, and it was Liu Chang who replaced her.

With the spread of the news, more and more people came, and the cries kept ringing, and Liu Chang just looked at his brother worriedly.

Liu Ying's state was very wrong, swaying, her head was constantly tilted at will, it looked like she was going to fall down in the next moment, Liu Chang got up and beckoned to Shusun Tong, who was arranging the position of the ministers, and explained a few words to the people around him, and hurriedly walked to Liu Chang's side, "What does the king command?" ”

"The second brother is too weak... But what can be done? ”

"It's... The crown prince is the prince, and he is the eldest son, this..."

Shusun Tong was also a little troubled, and he explained: "The minister is not a corrupt Confucian who strictly abides by the etiquette law, but... The first emperor died, if the prince did anything impolite, I am afraid that he would be honest... cause trouble..."

Liu Chang squinted his eyes, "I have my own way." ”

Soon, Liu Chang secretly came to Liu Xi's side, and when Liu Xi saw Liu Chang, he hugged him and cried even more.

"Father... Brother he...."

Liu Chang wiped his tears and whispered a few words, Liu Xi was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Ying again, and nodded heavily.

In an instant, several attendants hurriedly walked to the prince's side, supported the numb prince, Liu Xi got up, and shouted: "The prince is crying and fainting!" Send it to the Imperial Doctor! ”

Before Liu Ying could react, several close attendants took him away.

From last night to now, there have been more than a dozen people who have fainted from crying, including Liu Chang, so no one is surprised.

In the evening, Shusun Tong let the ministers leave, leaving only the people of the clan to continue to guard, and Lu Wanfan asked a few foreign ministers to stay, Shusun Tong hesitated for a moment, and then went to ask Empress Lu, Empress Lu allowed, and they also stayed.

Empress Lu arranged food for all of them, and most of them had no appetite, only Liu Chang was still gobbling it up as always.

But no one blamed him, he lost his father at such a young age, and everyone felt sorry for him.

Liu Hui gently distributed his meat to Liu Chang, who did not refuse, buried his head in eating, and said, "Eat, brother, eat... Father is watching! ”

Liu Hui was stunned for a moment, and began to eat heavily.

According to the etiquette formulated by Shusun Tong, first for the emperor to keep the spirit for three days, and then buried in the imperial mausoleum, in the ancestral temple for seven days, in the next three years, Liu Ying and Liu Chang They can not carry out any entertainment activities, within two years, Liu Bi, Liu Jia These people are not allowed to hold entertainment activities, and within a year, the people of the world can not hold entertainment activities.

This is already very short compared to the five or six years of mourning in the pre-Qin period, and with Liu Bang's good-faced character, it is not easy to arrange the mourning period for such a short time.

Then came the family of Princess Lu Yuan, Liu Le rushed into the palace crying, no one dared to stop her, Zhang Ao did not leave an inch behind her, his eyes were full of worry, their two children were also crying, Liu Ying, who had rested for a while, knelt here again at the moment, and the two sisters hugged each other and cried.

When the burial was made, Empress Lu did not let Liu Chang go, but only let Liu Ying, Liu Heng, Zhang Ao, and Liu Hui go with the ministers.

Empress Lu had other things to arrange, such as Liu Ying's accession to the throne, the pacification of the ministers and clans, and the selection of the temple name for Liu Bang, etc.

Everything fell on Empress Lu, Empress Lu basically couldn't stay in the Jiaofang Palace anymore, she moved directly into the Xuanshu Hall and began to handle government affairs instead of Liu Bang, as for Liu Ying, who should have taken on this responsibility, she just cried all day long, and couldn't say a complete sentence, let alone govern the country.

Liu Chang was surprised to find that in just three days, a large amount of gray and white was mixed in his mother's hair.
