Chapter 057: Scum
"I heard that the king of Huainan is hoarding grain and grass! Get ready to fight! What is the desire?! β
The Han envoy took Liu Bang's letter and roared loudly at Yingbu, who was kneeling in front of him.
Yingbu sat on his knees aggrievedly, his face flushed, and he glared angrily.
At that moment, the Han envoy really doubted that this guy was going to cut himself.
However, before coming to Huainan Kingdom, he already knew his mission, even if he died here, he could not be afraid, if he was killed, his family would be properly arranged, and his son would inherit his title and be promoted to another level. He gritted his teeth and continued to read out the rest of the story aloud.
Sure enough, halfway through the reading, Yingbu couldn't hold back any longer, he jumped up suddenly, snatched the edict from the messenger's hand, and scolded: "How can the widow rebel?!" Which traitor is this falsely accusing the widow?! β
The envoy didn't give an inch and scolded: "The king of Huainan snatched the edict and said that he didn't want to rebel? β
"Give it back to you!"
Yingbu threw the edict in his hand and threw it directly on the messenger's face.
"Drag this dog thief out and behead me !!"
Yingbu yelled.
The two armor soldiers stepped forward and dragged the Han envoy out.
"Traitor! You don't have to die well! Come to a sticky end!! β
The messenger cursed and continued to die.
Yingbu then looked at his generals, "Today, Liu Bang wants to kill me, what should I do?" β
"Oppose!"
The generals shouted, not realizing that the execution of the envoy just now was actually a rebellion.
Yingbu's face turned red, and he roared angrily: "Liu Bang is a villain, at the beginning, if it wasn't for the King of Chu and the King of Liang, I helped him, how could he defeat Xiang Yu?" And how can you be the lord of the world? Now that he is the emperor, he will kill us one by one! β
Yingbu has a very impulsive personality, and his biggest weakness is that he can't stand being wronged, when someone framed him for stealing something, Yingbu was angry, and ransacked that person's home, so he was imprisoned. Later, Xiang Yu sent someone to ask, are you going to rebel? When Yingbu was angry, he really reversed and returned to Liu Bang.
And then today.
Every time he feels that he has been wronged, Yingbu will be blinded by anger, he can't see anything, he can't hear anything, you say I did it, then Lao Tzu really did it!
"Okay, since Liu Bang is unkind, then don't blame me for being unfaithful! Everyone, quickly go to the counties, gather soldiers, and stock up on grain and grass! Attack with me! β
Yingbu immediately gave the order, and the generals immediately began to prepare.
In the original history, because of the tragic death of Han Xin and Peng Yue, especially the tragic death of Peng Yue, an honest man, Yingbu was very frightened, so he was ready to protect himself, Liu Bang sent someone to question, he directly led the army to set off, but this time, because Han Xin and Peng Yue did not die, he was not ready to go on the expedition.
As soon as the brain is hot, it rebels.
That's why Xiao He is reluctant to let Liu Bang send someone to question Yingbu, a person like Yingbu, if you don't care about him and often give him gifts or something, he may really be addicted to hunting, and he won't have any intention of rebelling, but once he sends someone to question, he will definitely rebel.
.........
The people in the palace began to get busy again.
Father carried the sick body, talking to the ministers all day long, the ministers went in and out, Chen Ping almost lived in the palace, every day by the father's side, I don't know what he was doing, as for the mother, at first it was busy for a few days, and then it was much better, no longer busy with anything, and the mood seemed to be happier.
"Long!"
"What?"
"Put on your new clothes... It's time for a guest. β
"Oh... Mother? Where's my bottom? β
"Isn't it right on the couch?"
"What? No? β
"Shaft!"
Empress Lu walked to the side of the bed, stretched out her hand and picked up the bottom, threw it to the stunned Liu Chang, and then walked away, "Where did Grandma find it?" How come I can't see it?? Liu Chang muttered as he put on his clothes, and he didn't know which guest he was coming.
Usually, there are not many guests who come here, just uncles, aunts, and other people can't come in.
When Liu Chang was ready, he sat beside Empress Lu obediently, waiting for this guest.
"The Queen Mother..."
When the person saluted Empress Lu, Liu Chang was stunned, he raised his head and shouted violently: "Sister! β
Without waiting for Empress Lu to return the salute, he threw himself into the arms of the eldest sister in a few steps, and Princess Liu Le of Lu Yuan leaned over and picked up this silly boy, with a smile on his face. Liu Le looks very iconic, standard melon seed face, style and charm, Qiushui Yiren, fascinating, her appearance is similar to Lu Hou, if Liu Ruyi is a juvenile version of Liu Bang, then Liu Le is definitely a young version of Lu Hou.
"How did it get so heavy?"
"Sister..."
"What are you crying about... Come, meet your sister-in-law..."
Liu Chang looked at Zhang Ao on the side, Zhang Ao looked at Liu Chang with a complicated expression, he was really a little embarrassed, Liu Chang's biological mother was originally Zhang Ao's singer, and later gave it to his father-in-law, but this incident made Empress Lu very angry.
Liu Chang saluted obediently, and Zhang Ao also returned the salute seriously.
Behind them, a girl and a boy followed.
The little boy is older than Liu Chang, about the same age as Ruyi, and the girl is even older... Probably similar to Liu Ying?
Liu Chang didn't care about the little boy, just looked at the girl.
The girl is more beautiful than her mother, and she has perfectly inherited all the advantages of her mother, but compared to Princess Lu Yuan, she is more enthusiastic and lively, and she salutes Liu Chang with a smile.
"Meet my uncle!"
"Huh??"
Liu Chang only felt as if something had shattered, but soon, he became proud again, raised his head and said loudly: "Judah don't have to be polite!" β
Liu Chang immediately looked at the boy, the boy looked a little panicked, not quite like a bold man, which reminded Liu Chang of the fifth brother, and the boy also saluted in a panic, "Meet my uncle!" β
"You're welcome!"
This is not the first time Liu Chang has encountered this situation, if you want to blame it, blame Liu Bang for being an old rascal who has been amorous from the age of twenty to sixty, his eldest son Liu Fei is almost the same age as Empress Lu, and the youngest Liu Jian is still a baby... Oh, before these two, Liu Chang already had eight nephews.
Why did Liu Fei become Liu Thin? Because he already has eight sons, and they are still alive... The greatest pleasure of the princes and kings of the Western Han Dynasty seems to be to have a son, Liu Chang sometimes wondered if someone would play his own banner in the future, and said to everyone: "I am the great-great-grandson of Liu Chang, the son of Gaozu, the overlord of Chu..."
Liu Chang's eldest nephew can already give birth to a son.
In terms of seniority, Liu Chang is still not afraid, although the widow is the youngest in the palace, but when there are guests outside, many people are their juniors!
Empress LΓΌ had a son and a daughter. She is very strict with her son, and every time she meets, she is reprimanding, hoping that her son will become a dragon, and she is very dissatisfied with him. But for this daughter, that is very loved, Princess Lu Yuan is the only person who can make Empress Lu put down her reason and rely on her nature to do things.
The Xiongnu invaded, and everyone wanted Princess Lu Yuan to marry Mao Dun, but Empress Lu was fully opposed, and later Zhang Ao's subordinates rebelled, and it was Empress Lu who tried his best to protect him.
In history, Empress Lu even crowned several children of Zhang Ao's family as kings.
And Liu Le really likes his mother very much, when the two met, Empress Lu almost cried, grabbed her daughter's hand tightly, and asked her to sit down next to her. For her two grandsons, she also loves it, touching Zhang Yan's face, how gentle and gentle she is, and she wants Zhang Yan to eat more meat.
Liu Chang looked at her slowly, just frowned, buried his head in his mouth and bit the meat, hum! Bite you to death!
Zhang Ao was really a little embarrassed, Empress Lu treated him very well, but because of his behavior of giving his daughter to Liu Bang, his mother-in-law ignored him for a long time.
"Alas... How old is Yan? Not married yet? β
Empress Lu asked with a smile, Zhang Yan lowered her head, her face was blushing, and she couldn't say a word.
"Yan, eat more... Look how thin you are, your uncle is almost as tall as you... Eat more..."
"Long! Don't pile all the meat in front of you! I give a little to Yan too!! β
Princess Lu Yuan laughed, "It's okay, it's okay, let him eat more... It's the time to grow taller, long, how is your studies? What books did you read? β
If you ask this, I won't eat it, Liu Chang hurriedly put down the food and raised his head, "Brother Bucai, first learned the law of Huang Lao with the great sage Gai Gong of Qi State, proficient in the Tao Te Ching, annotated Daoyuan, and governed Han Feizi, the Analects, the Book of Ink, the doctrine of a hundred schools, there was no one who was not refined, and then met the Marquis of Huaiyin, accepted as an apprentice, learned the art of war, and discussed state affairs with the prime minister, and learned the way of governing the country..."
"I've been learning swordsmanship for six or seven years, and ordinary people can't get close..."
"Xiahou Ying drove for me, and was friends with the sages of Chang'an all day long, full of friends...."
Zhang Ao listened to Liu Chang's words, stared at him in horror, rubbed his eyes, and looked at him again, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
