"Who are you?!"

Liu Chang crossed his waist and looked at the old man in front of him, his eyes full of suspicion.

He was about to go to Gai Gong, but the old man suddenly stopped himself, he had never seen this person in the court, this person spoke with a very strong dialect, and he was not a good person at first glance.

"The minister is the history of Qi, and this time he accompanied the king of Qi to the court."

"I heard that the king has a port in South Korea, Liandanshui, and bartered back and forth with the party, and when the king of my family learned about it, he wanted to choose a county by the river and give it to the king... In this way, the ships of the Tang Kingdom, out of the party, Wangyang Wu, to the Qi land, although the Qi country is not as rich as the Tang State, but there are also items that the king can use, Qi and Tang countries communicate with each other, isn't it wonderful? ”

Before the minister could finish his words, Liu Chang held his hand tightly.

"Sir is really a virtuous minister!"

"Mr. is thinking too right, the Tang State and the Qi State communicate with each other. How good is this, my Tang country produces iron tools, and your Qi country produces grain, we can exchange it! The Tang Kingdom is poor, the people are poor, the food is not hungry, if there is a county in the Qi Kingdom, it can feed me countless Tang people! Gentleman, benevolence! ”

The advisor hesitated for a moment before he said, "This is all what King Qi meant... King Qi almost made a mistake before, but fortunately, even if King Tang prevented him..."

"Where's my eldest brother! I've got to see him myself! ”

In the Jiaofang Palace, Liu Fei lowered his head and looked at Empress Lu in front of him respectfully.

"You want to give a county to the chief?"

"Erchen is going to take out three county towns to give to the queen mother, the queen mother can give Princess Lu Yuan, as her food, and the son takes out another county to give to the eldest brother, the son lost his temper some time ago, and almost drank during the mourning period, thanks to the Tang King in time to stop ... In the future, the sons and daughters will definitely keep the courtesy of the ministers in mind. Don't dare to do such an rude thing again. ”

Liu Fei said very sincerely, and Empress Lu's face eased a lot.

"It's great that you can think like that... However, there is no need for this dedication. ”

"The queen mother, the son is mediocre, without the assistance of Cao Xiang, he can't govern the Qi country at all, and I hope that the queen mother can let the king of Tang help me.... Rule a county for me. ”

"Princess Nalu Yuan..."

"Princess Lu Yuan is a father and daughter, I am just a concubine, I gave her land, this is as it should be, it is in line with etiquette, I should treat her with the attitude of treating elders."

"Okay, since that's what you think, then I'll agree."

"You can hold a banquet in the mansion tomorrow, and I will lead everyone to the banquet."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

Liu Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief, got up and left, just walked out of the Jiaofang Palace, and met Liu Chang who came to meet him, Liu Chang shouted: "Big brother! Then he threw himself into Liu Fei's arms, he smiled all over his face, and smiled brightly, "I heard that my eldest brother is going to give me a county, I'm really embarrassed!" ”

"As a younger brother, I should give a gift to my brother, how can I accept my brother's gift?"

Liu Fei laughed and said, "Then I won't send it, you can give me a county." ”

"Brother, don't you hear it, the elder gives, you can't quit! If my brother wants to give me a county, if I don't agree, won't I look down on my brother? What's more, the poor and remote areas of my Tang Kingdom can't give away a county of land to give to others. ”

Liu Fei looked at this guy helplessly and scolded: "You erection, how can I really ask for your land?!" ”

Liu Chang was in a good mood at the moment, even if he was scolded, he was smiling, and he asked, "What county does my brother want to send to me?" ”

"Which county do you want?"

"Qi County!"

"If Qi Jun gives it to you, where will I stay?!"

"I can build a new palace for my eldest brother in Handan County!"

"This Qi County can't be given to you, let's change it, how about Jibei County?"

Liu Chang pondered for a moment, "Jibei County is close to me, and the ships can easily get there... It's just that the population of Jibei County is too small..."

"How is Jiaodong County?"

"There are quite a lot of people in Jiaodong County, but it is too far away from the Tang Kingdom, and the ships have to sail for too long... It's not appropriate... I have an idea! ”

Liu Fei was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Liu Chang said excitedly: "Wouldn't it be nice if my brother gave me Jibei County and Jiaodong County!" ”

"The original King of Qin didn't dare to ask for this! You're even more greedy than Tyrannical Qin! Why don't you let me give you all the counties except Qi County! ”

Liu Chang asked in surprise: "A word is a certainty?!" ”

"I", Liu Fei gritted his teeth, bent down, and was about to take off his shoes, Liu Chang immediately ran away, ran into the distance, and he shouted again: "

If the eldest brother is reluctant to give it to me, then give it to Jibei County, but if you can move some people, move some food, and get some iron tools..."

Seeing that Liu Fei had already picked up his shoes, Liu didn't say a word, turned around and ran, and in the blink of an eye, he ran away without a trace.

Within the Zhou Mansion, the sages are all over the place, and the young are long and salty.

Qunxian was eating, but Liu Chang was painting something on the ground, there were words in his mouth, and he laughed from time to time, Zhou Shengzhi secretly walked to Liu Chang's side, looked at the ground, and saw Liu Chang drawing a few lines on the ground, Zhou Shengzhi couldn't understand what this was at all, and asked suspiciously: "What is the king doing?" ”

Liu Chang said proudly: "Draw water." ”

"Painting water??"

"Yes, you see, this is all the water in my Tang Kingdom, this is Fenshui, this is Danshui, this is Xiaoshui, Hengshui... There is still a lot of water around my Datang, you see, this is river water, if I can connect these rivers in the future. My Datang ships can go all the way to Qi, Zhao, Yan, and Chu from anywhere in Datang. You can go anywhere! ”

Qunxian surrounded Liu Chang and listened carefully to his words.

"The king of Qi knows the virtue of the widow, and is ready to give Jibei County to the widow, so the widow has such an idea!"

"King Shenwu!"

Everyone admired, and Liu Chang said proudly: "Cut a county today. Tomorrow cut three counties."

"Ahem, of course, there is a lot of land, and there is no need to always let the domestic princes sacrifice the land for the widow, in the future, the widow will definitely take all the land of the Xiongnu, so that all the tribes will submit to the widow, and at that time, the territory of the Tang State will be invincible!"

"When the time comes, the king will be able to return the land he has demanded several times over."

"Fart! It's all mine! It's all mine! I don't give!! ”

Liu Chang violently covered the painting on the ground with his hands and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, the rest of the sages didn't react, but the two brothers Fan Yan and Fan Shiren lowered their heads, sullen, and sighed, seeing them like this, Zhou Shengzhi asked curiously: "Are you related to the King of Qi?" ”

"Nope."

"Then why are you sighing here?"

Fan Yan said helplessly: "The king borrowed a lot of money from me... Look at the king like this... I probably won't be able to get it. ”

Zhou Shengzhi laughed, and he looked at the people of Fan City again, "You also borrowed money from the king?" ”

"Nope."

"Then why do you sigh too?"

"The money that the eldest brother borrowed from the king is mine."

Liu Fei has his own mansion in Chang'an, but these days, he didn't dare to live, and now the Queen Mother ordered him to set up a banquet, so he returned to his mansion and set up a banquet overnight, inviting the Queen Mother and His Majesty, Tang Wang and others to the banquet.

When everyone came, Liu Ying did not give in and sat on the top seat, and Lu Hou sat on the side, both of them were on the top.

Liu Fei repeatedly asked Liu Chang to sit on top of him, Liu Chang did not refuse, and sat directly in a position closer to the Son of Heaven, and Liu Fei sat at the end of the seat respectfully.

Seeing this scene, a smile finally appeared on Empress Lu's face, although it was just the kind of fake smile on weekdays, but Liu Fei was finally able to eat.

"Brother, thank you for your gift of Jibei County! Don't worry, the widow will definitely govern Jibei County well, if something happens to Qi State, you will tell the widow that the widow will leave some troops in Jibei County and can help you at any time! ”

"Officials in Jibei, don't transfer away, leave them all for me! I'm too lazy to arrange new officials! ”

"Don't touch the grain in the granary!"

"Long! Don't be rude to your brother! ”

Empress Lu opened his mouth to reprimand, and Liu Chang lowered his head at this time, and a smile appeared on his face.

Liu Fei hurriedly said: "What King Tang said is right, they should all stay." ”

"No, the hoarded grain, you'd better take it back, Jibei County is a heavy place for Qi to hoard grain, if there is a famine in Qi country, this shaft will never give you half a grain of rice", Lu Hou said seriously.

"Mother! How can the widow and the righteous king not be saved?! ”

"You shut up for me, if you say more, I will take Jibei County back to the temple!"

Liu Chang muttered, muttered something, lowered his head and continued to cook.

"It's best to know that mistakes can be corrected... Govern the Qi country well, although the Qi country has no worries, but the land of Yan Zhao still needs more support from the Qi country. ”

"Erchen understands."

Liu Fei said seriously.

Soon after the departure of the King of Qi, a major event occurred in the court.

Zhao Yao, the imperial historian, was deposed, and his uncle Sun Tong assumed the position of the imperial historian.

This caused an uproar among the ministers, you know, although the imperial historian has the lowest status in the three kilometers, but no matter how low it is, it is also the third duke, how can the uncle and grandson pass He De, flattering villain, and also worthy of being in the same column as Cao Shen and Zhou Bo? Above the Ministers?

The ministers were very confused about this appointment, including Cao Shen, he didn't look down on this uncle and grandson Tong very much, and after the ministers left, he stayed in the Xuanshu Hall and advised the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, although Zhao Yao is at odds with his ministers, he is a very important minister who is deeply loved by the former emperor, he has talent, and he has not made any mistakes, why did Your Majesty want to remove him? Uncle and grandson Tong this person, several times changed the court, flattery, the emperor did not like him, and said to the ministers many times: Uncle and grandson notice the ceremony but do not know the courtesy. ”

"None of the rituals he has set for others are kept by himself."

"How can Your Majesty give the position of the Third Duke to a villain like this?"

Liu Ying hesitated a little, but remembering what Liu Chang said, she still made up her mind and said, "Since Cao Xiang thinks it is inappropriate, why should Cao Xiang appoint him?" ”

Cao Shen stood up abruptly and said angrily: "I do everything for Your Majesty, how can Your Majesty say that about me?"

This must be what the Tang King taught! ”

Liu Ying was shocked and hurriedly said: "It's not taught by King Tang, this is my own idea." ”

Cao Shen snorted, turned around and left the Xuanshu Palace.

Liu Ying watched him leave in a daze, but she didn't have time to stop him.

At this moment, in the Jiaofang Palace, Liu Changzheng was pestering his mother, begging bitterly.

"Mother, let me go too... I've been preparing for this hunt for so long... Let me go too! Please! ”

"Heh, you said earlier that you were going to hunt and practice arrows outside the city, that is, Ji Bu was agile, and you were almost killed by one arrow... Do you still want to go hunting with the Son of Heaven? Do you want to kill your brother and usurp the throne?! ”

"Ahem, mother, I've been practicing with Guan Hou for so long, and my archery skills are no longer at the original level!"

"That's true, it used to just fly past other people's ears, but now it's all aimed at the forehead..."

"Mother!!"

Liu Chang was a little angry, he said: "But a few mistakes, why does my mother look down on me so much? ”

"You still have the face to say, you are not allowed to go on this hunt! Wait until you don't make a mistake, go again! ”

Just when Liu Chang puffed up his face and was indignant, the attendant hurriedly pleaded and said that Cao Xiang came to visit.

"As soon as the thief comes, it will be no good thing."

Liu Chang muttered, Empress Lu glared at him, and asked the attendant to invite Cao Xiang in.

Cao Shen entered the hall, staring at Liu Chang fiercely with his eyes, and then went to see Empress Lu.

"Cao Xiang is here, do you have something important?"

"Queen Mother! The minister wants to impeach the king of Tang, he speaks to the Son of Heaven, demagogues the saints, and the princes interfere in state affairs, which is definitely not a good thing! ”

Liu Chang suddenly jumped up and scolded: "My brother has the final say on state affairs, you Cao thief, do you want to set up Your Majesty?" ”

Cao Shen didn't look at him, just looked at Empress Lu, and said seriously: "Queen Mother, the ministers have always been assisting Your Majesty, so that the ministers dare not despise it, and all state affairs are decided by Your Majesty. ”

"Once such a precedent is opened, the consequences are unimaginable!"

"Your Majesty can change the three dukes, but it must be your Majesty who wants to change it, and you must not let the foreign king interfere in the affairs of the court, even if it is well-intentioned, it is absolutely impossible!"

Cao Shen was extremely serious, and he said: "The only one who can judge the affairs of the world is Your Majesty!" ”

Empress Lu couldn't help but squint her eyes, she naturally knew that Cao Shen's words were not just for Liu Chang, but she still nodded approvingly, she was not Liu Ying's enemy, never was, "What Cao Xiang said is reasonable!" I'll tell King Tang, please rest assured. ”

Cao Shen got up at this time, glared at Liu Chang, and said, "If you teach Your Majesty to do things again, I will teach you to do things!" ”

"You old thief, wait for me to be older, and see if I don't give you away... Hey, hey~Mother, it hurts~"

Lu Hou pinched Liu Chang's ears, "What are you going to do with Cao Xiang?" ”

"See if I don't bring you to my house for a good treat!"

Cao Shen left angrily, Liu Chang looked at Lu Hou aggrievedly, and lowered his head, "I just want to help my brother..."

"He's your brother, not your child."

"I told you a long time ago, you just need to do your own thing and deter the ministers, don't do anything else,

Also, don't be rude to Cao Xiang. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that this thief has a beautiful daughter, I would have plucked his beard a long time ago!"

"Heh, Cao Xiang hates you so much, you still want to marry his daughter?"

Hearing Empress Lu's words, Liu Chang woke up suddenly, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Mother... Do you think, is it possible,

Cao Xiang actually doesn't really hate me? It's just a disagreement in politics, can you still be a son-in-law in private? ”

"It's impossible."

"Uh. Then how many soldiers does my mother think I need to snatch people from Cao Mansion? ”

"Hey! Mother! I'll say it casually! Say it casually!! ”

Liu Chang looked at the stick in Lu Hou's hand, and hurriedly said, "That Cao thief is not a good thing!" Zhang Ren was killed by him! ”

Lu Hou was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?" ”

"I really didn't kill people, I do have such thoughts, but this incident was not told to me by Chen Ping, it was Cao Shen who told me. Why did he send someone to tell me, didn't he just want me to do it? Lu Chan was sent by me, but I didn't let him poison King Zhang, I just asked him to scare King Zhang and let him not kill himself."

"Anyway, it's not Chen Ping, it's Cao Shen."

"However, I don't think it will be Chen Ping, if he wants to kill someone, he will definitely not spend so much effort... What's more, I sent someone to ask him for help before, but he didn't want to, so it must have been Cao Shen who killed him! ”

Empress Lu seemed to understand something, and then, she said coldly: "Zhang Ren died of illness. ”

"Good, good, sick to death... Sick and dead. ”

Seeing Liu Chang's impatient look, Empress Lu sneered, "It's still so proud to be pitted. Shaft."

Shusun Tong still took the position of the third duke, although the ministers objected, but the Son of Heaven asked him to do it, and no one could refute it, including Cao Shen, and he did not refute the Son of Heaven in front of the ministers, but with a black face, everyone could see that he was not very satisfied with the new third duke.

Sure enough, as soon as the new third prince took office, he began to flatter the Son of Heaven without a bottom line.

This guy instantly entered the state of mad dog, incarnated as the vicious dog of the Son of Heaven, every time the court meeting, he was staring at the ministers, the ministers but where there was a little bit of inconsiderate etiquette, he would reprimand loudly, his disciples are also like this, always staring at the ministers, this guy is not affectionate at all, everyone criticizes, Cao Shen came a moment late when he participated in the court meeting, he stood in front of Cao Shen, and said to him for nearly half an hour.

Cao Shen was almost moved by him.

And Shusun Tong placed his disciples in various important positions, staring at the ministers every day, as if he was looking forward to them doing something wrong, such a royal history doctor, it is really disgusting, since Shusun Tong became the imperial history, the ministers can't even drink steadily, I am afraid that Shusun Tong will say something nonsense such as drinking together in the court meeting.

Yes, four or five people drinking together is illegal in Dahan, but Liu Bang never cares about this, and the ministers basically don't care, only Shusun Tong, a dog thief, will hold on to these things.

Liu Chang finally followed the Son of Heaven to participate in the autumn hunt as he wished.

He was majestically dressed in the clothes that should be worn for hunting, standing on the real chariot, Luan Bulai was driving, and there were sages on the left and right, but Liu Chang's face was very ugly, he lowered his head, looked at the small short bow in his hand, and then looked at the arrow without an arrow, and scolded angrily, "Who is the minister in charge of hunting?!" Is that how you treat the princes and kings?! ”

"Ahem, king, this is the order of the Queen Mother."

Luan Bu reminded in a low voice.

"Can this thing hunt? You can't even shoot a rabbit! ”

Everyone bowed their heads and was silent, and Xiao Guan Ah said, "This is what my father suggested!" He said that the king learned to shoot with him for a year, and injured nine people, one of whom was still a passerby, but he was just walking outside the house, and was shot down by you with an arrow... And he said that thou art mighty,

It's just that this is something he has never seen in his life..."

Liu Chang blackened his face, picked up his bow and arrows, lowered his head and asked, "Where is Guan Hou hunting?" ”

At this moment, in the Chen Mansion, Chen Ping was basking in the sun and eating tea, looking extremely comfortable.

"Master of the house, why don't you go hunting with the Son of Heaven?"

"You don't have to go, I've already hunted."

ps: Tired of killing me! It's been a day, I haven't eaten anything, and I started coding words when I came back from the hospital. Motionless to the present,

Asking for a monthly pass!!
