Chapter 146: A Boom
At the celebration banquet, the generals finally cheered up.
Xiahou Ying no longer had a straight face, and told about his battle with a smile, Xiahou Ying drove a chariot, harvested wildly, and even personally killed a Hun general in armor, and learned from the captives that this general was still a relative of Mao Dun, a nobleman of the Sulu clan.
Although Xiahou Ying's beheading and capture were not as good as Zhou Bo's, he took this head, which was enough to compete with Zhou Bo.
As for the baby, he drank sullen wine and did not say a word.
Just when the generals were happily celebrating, Zhao Yao, the imperial historian, suddenly got up and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have a performance!" ”
Liu Ying was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhao Yao, "What is Aiqing?" ”
"The minister wants to impeach Ying Yin Hou for irrigating infants, falsely reporting his military exploits, and deceiving his superiors and subordinates!"
Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, and didn't answer yet, but Guan Ying couldn't help it, he jumped up suddenly, stared at Zhao Yao, and asked angrily, "Dog thief?" What did you say?! ”
"Huh, you know what I'm talking about?! The captain beheaded 6,000 and intercepted more than 2,000 horses... You reported five thousand beheadings... Thirty horses were captured?? How
Did you kill 5,000 Huns on foot? You are clearly lying about your achievements! ”
"Your Majesty, the generals deliberately did this in order to covet military merits, and the rest of the generals protected them because they also needed to fight to obtain military merits, and please let Your Majesty know that once the war starts, the development of the Han Dynasty over the years will be ruined! The martial artist doesn't care about his family and country, and the belligerence is not to repay the king, but only for his own title! ”
Zhao Yao, this is already a very serious accusation, falsely reporting war exploits, that is a big crime to behead.
The baby's face turned red, and he was almost speechless, but before he could pay attention to it, the generals came down one after another and scolded Zhao Yao, "We fought on the battlefield and returned victorious, and we still have to suffer the insult of a villain like you?!" Please kill him, Your Majesty! ”
Zhao Yao was not alone, and there were many ministers who supported him, such as Liu Jing, Shusun Tong and others, among them, Liu Jing was the most angry, scolding everyone, of course, he quickly became a new firepower, and the generals lashed out at him.
Fan Xu scolded directly: "When we fought against the Huns, Your Excellency proposed many times that the first emperor would marry the princess to Mao Dun, and wanted to flatter and capture the lord, but this time if we can't do it, we must be very angry!" ”
This Liu Jing, formerly known as Lou Jing, was given the surname Liu by Liu Bang, and he was the one who almost sent Princess Lu Yuan to the Xiongnu before.
Liu Jing sneered and said: "Of course General Fan is heroic, many county towns in Daijun fought in the First World War became ruins, and the savings of Yantang, Chu, Zhao and other countries for many years were wiped out, and the Xiongnu were never able to destroy the counties of Daijun, but you did it, what a merit this is!" ”
"Liu Jing! You villain, you were also the one who bewitched the emperor at the beginning, first proposed peace, and then proposed to move the people from all over the country to the Guannei, so that the people outside the Guanxi withered! ”
"Why, I moved to all the rich and powerful, including your relatives? At first, you couldn't defeat the Huns. I just proposed to make peace, if the generals are really brave,
Do you still need me to think of such a plan?! ”
The two sides scolded together, and no one obeyed anyone.
Liu Ying looked at this scene, his heart was numb, he didn't understand how when his father was still there, the ministers were harmonious and united, why now, they can't get used to each other, and they start to quarrel and fight
"That's it! Don't be noisy anymore! ”
Liu Ying said loudly: "Guan Hou did not lie about his military exploits, it was I who ordered him to leave a batch of war horses captured by him in the pasture of Shangjun of the Tang Kingdom, and prepared to cultivate a large number of war horses here, for fear that the news would leak and make the Huns vigilant, so they concealed it!" ”
The ministers were still arguing, Chen Ping got up slowly, and said coldly: "If you have any questions, you can ask me first." ”
In an instant, there was silence in the Xuan Room Hall, quietly, and no one said anything more.
After the celebration banquet, Liu Ying hurriedly came to the Jiaofang Palace.
"Shaft! Get out of here!! ”
When Liu Ying angrily rushed into the Jiaofang Hall with a wooden stick, Liu Chang howled and hurriedly hid behind Empress Lu.
"You bastard, how can you be so greedy! More than 2,000 war horses, you swallowed them all, and you handed over 30 old horses to the baby? You come over to me!! ”
Liu Chang hid beside Empress Lu and shouted, "Wronged! What does this have to do with me? I've been in Chang'an for a long time, and I'm not in charge of the affairs of the Tang Kingdom! This must have been done by Zhang Xiang! It has nothing to do with me! ”
Empress Lu glanced at Liu Ying calmly, "It's just some war horses, next, Tang Guo will definitely have to put down the battle stick!" ”
Liu Ying hurriedly put down the wooden stick, sat helplessly in front of Lu Hou, looked at Liu Chang who was standing in front of Lu Hou and grinning at himself, and said indignantly: "
My mother doesn't know anything, because of this erection, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government quarreled..."
He told Empress Lu the truth about the ministers.
"They don't quarrel over war horses. No one cares how many horses are captured by the baby. ”
"They're arguing because of you. If you are strong enough, how dare they argue in front of you? ”
"That's right! You're the one who deserves to be beaten! Mother, beat him! ”
Liu Chang shouted, Empress Lu glared at him fiercely, and then looked at Liu Ying, "This is your chance. It's up to you to dispose of it. ”
Liu Ying sighed helplessly.
"In the past, I was always unaccustomed to my father's methods... I think he's too tough, too ruthless... Even Xiao Xiang didn't let go... I thought I could do better than my father... But when my father was still around, I never worried about anything, no matter how big it happened, I wouldn't worry... But now... Alas... I'm worried. ”
"You are not bad, your father has his own way, then you should also have your own way."
Empress Lu comforted a few words, and Liu Ying cheered up, saluted towards Empress Lu, glared at Liu Chang again, and scolded: "You erector, if you dare to make trouble again, I will throw you into the Tingwei prison!" Got it?! ”
"Oh..."
The tense situation in the temple did not last long, because Liu Ying welcomed her first child.
When the wrinkled little guy was lying in Liu Ying's arms, Liu Ying smirked, speechless with excitement, just laughing. He had already thought of a name for the child, named it Xiang, and the whole palace was immersed in a joy, and even the atmosphere in the temple was much better.
Empress Lu hugged her little grandson all day long, very happy, Liu Chang stood anxiously on the side, "Give me a hug!" Give me a hug! ”
"Nope."
Lu Hou refused to let Liu Chang hug him, seeing Liu Chang's anxious appearance, Liu Ying couldn't help laughing, Liu Chang threatened: "I will have a child in the future, and I won't let you hug it!" ”
"Your child must be an ugly child, let me not hug it."
"Mother, it's okay, just hug him!"
Liu Ying opened his mouth, and Empress Lu carefully handed the child to Liu Chang and instructed: "Be careful"
"I know!" , Liu Chang took the child from Empress Lu's arms, the little guy was wrinkled, his mouth was closed, his brows were furrowed, and he hugged him carefully, Liu Chang liked it very much, and he also grinned, "Big brother, it's better to give him to me as a child, I'll return it to you when I have a child in the future, okay?" ”
"Hahaha, okay, you just think it's your own child!"
Liu Chang couldn't wait to let this little guy grow up early, and when he grew up, he could take him to play.
It's not just Liu Ying's family who is happy, Cao Xiang and they are also very happy, their children have finally become a family this year, but they haven't hugged their grandson yet, seeing this grandson at this moment, even Cao Shen has become a lot more kind and kind, holding his grandson, from an iron-blooded general suddenly became a kind old man, the two of them can't put down this child at the moment, and it is not Liu Chang's turn to hug him at all.
However, Liu Chang was also very happy, because Cao Shu also came with his family.
She came to visit her sister and children.
Liu Chang was directly wrapped around her, and the child was also left behind.
"Sister, you see how cute Xiang is. If we had children, it would be cute, right? ”
"I've thought of the child's name, I'm going to name my son Ruyi, the eldest brother's child is Xiangrui, and my child is Ruyi, isn't it a good match?"
Cao Shu shook her head and laughed, and Liu Chang's eldest sister-in-law chuckled and said, "I said why Chang always runs to my mother's house, it turns out that he still has such thoughts." ”
"Sister-in-law, you have to help me... I mean it! Also, you can't tell my brother! ”
"I don't count what I said, you have to find my father!"
Liu Chang turned around and glanced at Cao Shen.
"Ahem, let's wait until I'm a few years older..."
He is still strong, but he is old.
"Don't follow me!"
"Go back!"
Liu Chang pointed to the little guy behind him and scolded sharply.
Liu Jian looked at his brother with blank eyes, and when Liu Chang turned around, he smirked and >> with ——

up, "Brother~"
Liu Chang was really helpless, turned around, picked him up, and walked to the Tianlu Pavilion.
Gai Gong looked at the child in his arms with some surprise.
"Master, this shaft seems to be a studious, like me! This life and death followed me, and I didn't want to leave, so I brought him here! ”
"Heh, if it were like you, it would be a big problem."
Liu Chang smiled and sat down with the little guy in his arms, Liu Jian was also well-behaved, hanging on Liu Chang's neck, sticking to his body, and not saying a word.
"Master, why haven't I seen you all these days? I can't find you when I come to Tianlu Pavilion. ”
Gai Gong frowned and said seriously: "On the order of the Queen Mother, I will give a lecture to the scholars. ”
"Huh? Lectures? What to talk about? ”
"Great unification."
"Hasn't the Han Dynasty been unified a long time ago?"
Gai Gong shook his head and did not answer.
"Master, don't just lecture in Chang'an, do you have time to go to Tang Kingdom to give lectures?"
"Heh, go to Tang Kingdom? Three of the four Haoli of Shangshan went to your Tang Kingdom, and there was no trace of them. Who would dare to go to your Tang Kingdom, you are simply a bandit's den! Only in but not out! ”
"Hey, hey, what did the master say, they are now lecturing in the Taiyuan Academy Palace in my Tang Kingdom, imparting knowledge, and living a good life, how good,
How can it be said that the Tang Kingdom is a den of bandits? If the master is interested, he can also go together! ”
Gai Gong pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps, the Queen Mother will let me go... Recently, the Queen Mother has sent a lot of people to give lectures in various countries, but she did not go to the Tang Kingdom. ”
"Why don't you go to Tang Kingdom? My mother is really too bullying, my Tang Kingdom is so poor, and the people are not able to make a living, she actually left my Tang Kingdom behind! Liu Chang was about to get up, but Gai Gong glared at him, "What do you know?!" This is because the Queen Mother trusts you! ”
Liu Chang pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you want to change the situation where each country only knows its king?" ”
"Yes, not long ago, Chen Ping asked countries to ask the meaning of the temple when appointing officials, and only after obtaining approval can they be appointed and dismissed."
Liu Chang didn't think there was anything wrong with this, he nodded, "When I went to look for Xiahou Zao some time ago, General Xiahou was really angry and told me a lot, my brothers are okay, after all, the time in the country is still short, but the generals of Zhao, Chu, Yan, and Qi are a little confused."
"They were all appointed directly by the princes and kings, not by the temples, and thus... Quite disrespectful to General Xiahou. ”
"That's this problem, now the Queen Mother wants to take back the right to appoint officials of the vassal states, in fact, this is also a good thing."
"You don't seem to be in a hurry at all, huh?"
Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty wants to take back the appointment rights of other vassal states, what does it have to do with me?" What am I anxious about? ”
"The Tang State is also a vassal state, how can it not be related to you?"
Liu Chang raised his head proudly, "The Tang Kingdom is different, the widow is Your Majesty's wing!" If the Tang State is strong, Your Majesty will be strong, and if Your Majesty is strong, the Tang Kingdom will benefit! ”
Gai Gong nodded, "It's best if you think so... Chief, from now on, don't get too close to your ministers, the situation is different from the past..."
When Liu Chang followed Gai Gong to finish the course, sent Liu Jian back, and was about to go out of the mansion to play with the sages, a close attendant suddenly stopped him.
"King!"
"How?"
Liu Chang turned his head and stared at the attendant, who didn't dare to get too close, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please get ready..."
"What preparations?"
"The king of Qi entered the capital to meet the king, and he wanted to go together to greet him."
"Huh? Big brother is coming?! ”
Liu Chang was overjoyed, and he didn't go out, so he hurriedly returned to the Jiaofang Palace, put on the official royal clothes, and hurriedly prepared to greet his brother.
When Liu Chang followed the team to the outside of the city, Zhao Yao was struggling to persuade the Son of Heaven.
"Your Majesty, how can there be any reason for the Son of Heaven to go out of the city to greet the princes and kings??"
"Please go back, Your Majesty, and let King Tang greet you instead!"
Liu Ying was very displeased, "King Qi is my brother, why can't I come to greet my brother?" ”
Several ministers couldn't persuade him, Zhao Yao's eyes were full of worry, and he sighed helplessly. Liu Chang hated waiting for others the most, and after waiting for most of the day, the frame of the eldest brother had not yet appeared, Liu Chang drooped his head, holding Liu Jian in his arms, and was dozing.
"Get up, don't be rude to your brother!"
Liu Ying reminded solemnly, Liu Chang opened his eyes at this time, and then, he lowered his head again and pinched Liu Jian's face, "Get up!" Don't be rude to your brother! ”
Liu Jian was about to fall asleep, but when Liu Chang pinched him like this, he suddenly cried, and Liu Chang had no choice but to tease him again, making a grimace and making him laugh.
Liu Ying looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "When you were as old as Jian, Ruyi always hugged you like this. ”
Liu Chang was stunned for a moment and retorted: "How can Ruyi hug me!" Ruyi has been bullying me all the time! ”
"Haven't you been bullying Jian all the time?"
"I love him!"
"So is he."
"It's different!!"
Liu Ying chuckled, "When Jian grows up, you will be able to experience the feeling of Ruyi." ”
Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, he lowered his head, looked at Liu Jian who was smirking in his arms, and reprimanded loudly: "Listen to me, if you dare to raise a dog called Chang when you grow up, I will break your legs!" Do you understand?! ”
It was at this time that King Qi's frame finally appeared.
Liu Fei was originally sitting lazily in the car, looking at the surrounding situation, when the entourage came and told him that His Majesty was waiting in front, Liu Fei was startled, he hurriedly got out of the car, led everyone, and respectfully went to meet the Son of Heaven.
Liu Ying laughed and stretched out her hands to hug her brother.
And Liu Fei's first reaction was to bow to Liu Ying, Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, and helped him up, "Why is the eldest brother like this?" ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers dare not trespass!"
Liu Ying looked at the surrounding ministers, and then said in a low voice: "Enter the palace and talk in detail!" ”
"Big Brother !!"
Liu Chang obviously didn't have any worries, he laughed, hugged Liu Jian and rushed to Liu Fei's side, Liu Fei was not restrained by him, rubbed his head, took Liu Jian again, kissed a few times, and saw Liu Jian wiping the saliva on his face in disgust, everyone laughed.
Liu Ying received her brother very warmly and took King Qi all the way to the palace.
Walking on the road, King Qi said very guiltily: "After Cao Xiang left, the ministers did not know anyone, and the appointed generals actually disobeyed the orders of General Xiahou, so they were executed by General Xiahou. Please forgive your majesty for the sins of your ministers! ”
"Indeed, since General Xiahou is a general, you should follow his orders, make your own decisions, and kill! If it were me, I'd just pull it out and cook it! Liu Chang shouted on the side, Liu Fei lowered his head, but did not dare to answer.
After entering the palace, Liu Ying didn't pretend, he said with a smile: "Big brother, are the family all right?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's all right."
"There are no outsiders here, why should the eldest brother be so restrained?"
Liu Ying pulled Liu Fei and walked all the way into the Jiaofang Palace, and when Empress Lu saw Liu Fei, who was held by Liu Ying and walked into the Jiaofang Hall side by side, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.
"Mother! Brother is back! ”
Liu Ying said with a smile, Liu Fei was frightened and hurriedly visited Empress Lu.
Empress Lu nodded, it was a return gift, Liu Ying was very happy, "I haven't seen my eldest brother for more than a year... Great, today, I'm going to get drunk with my brother! ”
"Brother, please take a seat!"
Liu Ying smiled and was polite, Liu Fei hurriedly excused himself, "Your Majesty, how dare the minister sit on the top position?!" Your Majesty, please take a seat! ”
"Hey, we are kings and ministers outside, but here, we are brothers, you are my brother, how can I sit on top of you? Please sit down, brother. ”
Liu Fei excused himself several times, but Liu Ying just didn't allow it, he was stunned to let him sit on the top position, and he sat beside him, holding his hand, and greeting him cordially.
Liu Fei was a little restless at first, but after Liu Ying talked, he sat on the top seat with peace of mind, and talked and laughed with the two brothers on the left and right about the affairs of Qi State.
And at this moment, Empress Lu's eyes became extremely cold, and her whole body exuded a chill.
She got up slowly and said coldly to the attendant: "Come on, prepare wine for King Qi." ”
