Liu Chang followed Gai Gong's instructions, and on weekdays, he read history books, practiced swords, and occasionally went to play with his friends when he was free, and his life was very fulfilling. Shang Fang's people were now smiling and following him, and they no longer dared to refuse Liu Chang as before, they often came to ask for strange things.

"Your Highness, when refining gunpowder, will adding too much stone flow yellow blow people up? What's going on? ”

"You're improving gunpowder in private??"

"No, no, we're just curious."

"That recipe is exquisite, don't mess around!"

"Don't worry, Childe, we're just curious... By the way, can charcoal be replaced with something else? ”

"It seems that burning honey with fire can achieve the same effect?"

"How many tests have you done??!

"No, no, I've heard about it occasionally..."

Gunpowder has been set up as a top secret by Liu Bang and others, and when outsiders ask about it, they don't know anything, even if Liu Chang asks, Shang Fang's people don't tell it, and the only people who can know the truth from their mouths are the emperor and the empress.

Unconsciously, Chang'an became cold again, and Liu Bang was in a very bad mood, so he went to worship his parents for three days in a row, crying and crying.

Chang'an seems to have calmed down again, and the fighting in various places has calmed down.

But Liu Chang in the palace knew that it was not the case at all, Father and Mother began to quarrel again, outside the Xuanshu Palace, Father's irritable roar could often be heard, and Mother always didn't say a word, but the people who came to Jiaofang Hall began to become more and more, and every time they talked, Empress Lu would let Liu Chang leave, which made Liu Chang very unhappy.

Just don't trust me like that? Am I the kind of person with a big mouth?

According to the grapevine of Tianlu Pavilion, the quarrel between his parents was because of his uncle's matter, but to Liu Chang's surprise, it seemed that his father intended to let Lu Shizhi serve as the captain, but his mother resolutely refused to allow it, and the two sides began to quarrel.

They didn't feel anything, anyway, it wasn't a matter of a day or two for Father and Mother to quarrel, and they were used to it.

It's just that Liu Ying is at a loss these days, and she can always hear him muttering, "It's clear that she's no longer there... Why, why? ”

In the Xuan Room Palace, Zhao Yao looked at Liu Bang seriously.

"King Yan wants to rebel!"

Liu Bang smiled and shook his head, "How could he rebel?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is a big deal, and it should be treated with caution... Previously, King Yan said that Zhang Sheng colluded with the Xiongnu, and later sent a letter saying that it was a misunderstanding, and the captives could prove that Zhang Sheng also colluded with Chen Thief. If King Yan really killed Zhang Sheng, why didn't he send his head? If it's a misunderstanding, why not bury it thickly? ”

"Your Majesty suspected that King Yan was being coerced, but the envoy had already seen King Yan, and King Yan didn't have anything wrong, he just used illness as an excuse and didn't want to see him more... It doesn't look like there's turmoil in the country... This must be King Yan who was bewitched by Zhang Sheng and wanted to rebel! ”

Zhao Yao explained seriously, but Liu Bang didn't think so.

"There must be some misunderstanding... He was born on the same day as me, and now that I am sick, maybe he is really sick too, and he is ready to go with me! ”

Liu Bang made an inappropriate joke, and Zhao Yao didn't pick up at all.

He looked at Liu Bang seriously, "Please be cautious, Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Bang said helplessly: "Since you are so sure that King Yan is rebelling, then you should go to Yan Kingdom in person, go to see Lu Xuan, and tell him that it is your eldest brother who wants you to go back!" ”

Zhao Yao let out a long sigh, got up and left.

After Zhao Yao left, Fan Hao walked in, he waited outside the hall for a long time, his face was red, rubbing his hands, and complaining: "It's so cold..."

Fan Hao brought a cold wind, Liu Bang coughed again, Fan Hao looked at him worriedly, and stopped talking.

Liu Bang waved his hand and asked him to sit aside.

"I called you this time... There is a very important thing I want to ask you. ”

"Your Majesty, what is the matter?"

"Ting Wei has captured a few fugitive slaves from the Lu Shi family... According to the fugitives, Lu Shizhi has a lot of strong crossbows hidden in various places..."

Fan was stunned for a moment and grinned, "Your Majesty, this counts-->>."

What? I have a lot of hidden things in my house, too! When you are a general, you love these things, how can you not collect them? ”

"What's more, Lu Shizhi is a close relative of His Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, there is a sentence in your heart, please don't blame Your Majesty, we are all old, if one day we are all gone, we can assist the prince and stabilize the world, there are Chu, Jing, Qi and other kings outside, and the queen and Shizhi are naturally inside, Your Majesty wants him to be a captain, and the minister thinks it is very suitable! I don't know why the queen is against it! ”

Listening to Fan Xu's words, Liu Bang laughed and nodded, "Yes, you're right." ”

"Don't tell the outside world about this..."

"Yui!"

Liu Bang did not summon Fan Hao again after that, but his mood did not seem to be as low as before, and Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Shi often came to the palace to accompany Liu Bang.

After Zhao Yao left Chang'an, he rushed to Yan Kingdom in a hurry, he felt that this matter was very important, before going, he also sent someone to write a letter to Zhou Bo, if I failed to come out, please ask Your Excellency to attack Yan Kingdom quickly!

When Zhao Yao arrived at Yan Kingdom, it was already snowing heavily.

When Lu Juan heard that Zhao Yao was coming, he was even more frightened, and closed the door to thank the guests, Zhao Yao didn't even be able to see him a few times, but Zhao Yao was not as easy to fool as the previous envoy, so he was easy to dismiss. He was in the Yan Kingdom and began to investigate the ministers of the Yan Kingdom and the disciples of the Yan King.

Lu Juan hurriedly and secretly called Zhang Sheng, "The messenger came before, and the widow said that he was sick and couldn't go, but now that the imperial doctor has come in person, what should the widow do?" ”

"My lord, I have heard that Your Majesty is seriously ill, and now the person in charge of affairs in the court is Her Royal Highness the Queen, Your Majesty may be able to spare your life, but the Queen will not show mercy... It's better to prepare for the army. ”

"From... Raising troops? ”

Lu Xuan, who lacked courage and talent, said these two words tremblingly, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of despair.

Soon, Liu Bang received a letter from Zhao Yao, the imperial historian.

In the letter, Zhao Yao swore that Lu Juan, the king of Yan, had rebelled! He didn't kill Zhang Sheng, and was in contact with the Huns, Chen Thief, and wanted to raise troops!

"Impossible!!"

Liu Bang dropped the letter and roared angrily.

"Judge it! You go to Yan Kingdom! Call Lu Juan to Naigong!! ”

Liu Bang sent another minister to Yan State to judge him, he is also Liu Bang's fellow villager, a native of Pei County, the relationship may not be as close as Lu Wanfan, but Liu Bang still trusts him very much, similarly, Lu Hou also trusts him, he has followed Liu Bang for many years, although he does not have much credit, but he is calm and reliable, and is quite favored.

In history, after Liu Bang's death, Empress Lu appointed him as prime minister, and later wanted to wipe out all the generals, which was to intercede for everyone and intimidate Empress Lu, saying that once he did this, the world would be different, so he dispelled Empress Lu's thoughts. Later, the ministers punished Lu, and he was able to save his life.

Emperor Wen was in power, and just when he thought these things were over, one day, a violent and arrogant prince who did not want to be named found him, and stoned him to death with a spine, saying that he would avenge his biological mother!

Emperor Wen was furious, your biological mother committed suicide, and people couldn't save it, can this also be blamed on others? Although he was angry, he finally pardoned the bastard brother.

At this moment, he is still the minister who is trusted by Liu Bang.

Under Liu Bang's order, Shen Shiqi also set off for Yan Kingdom.

Judging by Zhao Yao, he came to find Lu Juan in the name of passing through Yan State, and after staying in Yan Country for a few days, he turned around and returned to Chang'an.

This time and again, it is already the first month of the next year.

Not only did he come back, he also brought back two captives.

One of them was a general of Chen Xuan, and the other was a defeated general of the Xiongnu.

You must know that in this counterinsurgency war, the Huns intervened, and they even wanted to protect Chen Xuan, but Zhou Bo didn't give this opportunity.

Judging the food, he first personally reported the results, but King Yan colluded with the Xiongnu and Chen Xuan! Several of his generals are stockpiling grain and grass! There are signs of rebellion!

The Hun captives he brought back personally admitted the fact that Zhang Sheng had come to contact him.

At that moment, Liu Bang sat paralyzed in his seat, his eyes glazed and his expression dazed.

"He's really the opposite...."
