Leaning, Liu Che woke up slowly, looked at the heavy sun outside the window, and couldn't help asking, "What time is it?" ”

Xing Jieyu, who was waiting on the side, heard the movement, and hurriedly stepped forward to respond: "Back to Your Majesty, it's time for Shen." ”

Liu Che relaxed and said, "I've been asleep for so long, let's wait to get up." ”

"No!" Xing Jieyu waited in response, and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is still asking to see you outside the palace!" ”

"The prince is here?" Liu Che was slightly surprised, and said slightly, "Why don't you wake me up?" Hurry up! ”

The little palace maid on the side hurriedly responded to the promise, and went to the palace to announce the summons, and the torture Jieyu said: "When the prince came, His Majesty had just fallen asleep after taking the medicinal soup, and the prince couldn't bear to disturb His Majesty, so he has been waiting here. ”

"Hmm." Liu Che nodded and said, "The prince does have filial piety, so it's okay to wait." ”

While speaking, Liu Yi followed the palace maid into the inner hall, and saw Liu Che kneeling on the ground and said: "The son has seen his father!" Father's Eucharist? ”

"I'm all right, get up!" Liu Che smiled and said, "Come, sit down and talk." ”

"Erchen doesn't dare!" Liu put his hand against his forehead, knelt on the ground and said: "The son is here to ask his father for his guilt!" ”

"Oh, what is the prince's sin?" Liu Che's eyes swept over, but the expression on his face did not change at all.

"The sons of the house took the sons of the house to send a message, came to Ganquan Palace to greet the father, unexpectedly on the way to the Son of Heaven galloped, the sons of the palace after learning about the special to ask for guilt, the sons of the subordinate misdisciplined, but also ask the father to punish!" Liu's words were sincere, and his self-blame was quite heavy.

"I thought it was something." Liu Che looked at his son who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a gentle tone: "Jiang Chong, the embroidered messenger, has already told me about this, you get up!" ”

"No!" Liu stood up in response and stood on one side.

"The Son of Heaven gallops, unless I allow it, the courtiers and officials are not allowed to use it without permission!" Although Liu Che had the majesty of an emperor on his face, he still had a kind face, "It's good that you know your mistakes, and you should discipline the people in the palace well in the future." ”

"No!" Liu said respectfully, "Father's admonition, son's resonance remember!" ”

Liu Che nodded and said, "As an embroidered messenger, it is rare for Jiang Chong to be able to defy your status as a prince and report to me according to the truth, and it should be like this as a courtier!" It would be a good thing if there were more loyal courtiers around the prince! ”

Although Liu Ju was extremely disgusted with Jiang Chong in his heart, he didn't dare to show half a point on his face, and still responded respectfully: "What my father said is that according to my son, I wrote it down!" ”

"That's good!" Liu Che bowed slightly, and the afterglow touched the black and white chess pieces in the clay pot on the case, and couldn't help but itch: "According to the son, you and my father and son may not have played chess for a long time, how about accompanying my father and the emperor for a game?" ”

Liu Ju has always loved to play Go, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Father, please!" ”

----

When Liu Ji returned home, it was already the next day. As soon as the carriage stopped outside the mansion, someone from the mansion ran out, saw Liu Ju bowed and said: "Prince, the queen has issued an edict to order the prince to enter the Jiaofang Palace immediately after he returns!" ”

"The Queen Mother?" Liu Ju's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "When will you speak?" What can I say? ”

"Early this morning, the Jiaofang Hall came over in the great autumn." The subordinate shook his head while reminiscing, "I didn't say anything." ”

Liu Ju didn't have time to think about it and returned to the car, and said to the driver: "Go to Jiaofang Hall quickly!" ”

"No!" With a crisp horsewhip, the wheels rolled in the direction of Weiyang Palace.

----

As soon as he entered the Jiaofang Palace, Liu Ju saw Yun Niang carrying two packs of medicine and hurriedly leaving, Liu Ju couldn't help but sink in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Sister Yun Niang!" ”

Yun Niang stopped when she heard this, and when she saw that it was Liu Ju, she hurriedly bent over and saluted, and said, "I've seen the prince!" ”

Liu Ju hurriedly stepped forward, pointed to the medicine in Yun Niang's hand and asked, "Who in the palace is sick?" ”

Yun Niang saw that Liu Ju looked concerned, and hurriedly explained: "Prince, this medicine is rationed to the general!" ”

"Uncle?" Liu was at a loss when he heard this, and said in surprise: "What's wrong with my uncle?" ”

"Yesterday, Princess Pingyang sent someone into the palace to inform the queen that the general had an old illness and had a high fever for several days. Yun Niang carried the medicine bag and said, "The slave maid just went to the Imperial Doctor's Office to get the medicine bag, and the queen is waiting for the prince to come back and go to visit the general together!" ”

Liu said that his face was sad when he heard this, and said: "Then hurry up, don't let the queen mother wait!" ”

"Hmm." Yun Niang nodded, and the two walked briskly towards the inner hall.

----

"Queen Mother!"

When Wei Zifu heard this, he raised his head and saw Liu Ju and Yun Niang walking towards him, and couldn't help but show his face and called: "According to you! ”

"Queen Mother!" Liu Ju approached, leaned over and saluted: "I heard that my uncle has an old illness, does it matter?" ”

Hearing this, Wei Zifu's expression that had just stretched faded again, and he sighed and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to have to take care of it for a while." ”

"What is my uncle's old illness, why haven't you heard of it before?" Liu Yi stepped forward to help his mother and asked with concern.

Wei Zifu's brows furrowed, and he said slowly: "Your uncle has been fighting in the south and north for more than ten years, and has made great achievements for my Han Dynasty, but the perennial war consumes his body very much, and some illnesses and pains have passed when he was young, but when he is older, these illnesses have become old diseases." You don't know your uncle's temperament, he is a very forbearant person, in previous years, the old disease attacked, he also treated it normally, in recent years, the number of recurrences of old diseases has become more and more frequent, he also told your aunt not to make a noise. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Zifu's eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly, and he stabilized his emotions before he continued: "This time the old disease attacked, the medicine soup went down, the high fever still did not go away for several days, your uncle was groggy and groggy in the blur, your aunt was really worried, so he sent someone to the palace to inform me." ”

"Then the queen mother went to her uncle's house yesterday, how is the situation?" Liu Ju's eyes were full of worry, and he asked eagerly.

"I heard the letter and brought Imperial Physician Feng to the house, fortunately, Imperial Physician Feng is well-informed, and he said that your uncle's illness this time must be guided by a kind of safflower grass in the Western Regions and the local seven-step snake bile to be effective. Because these two medicinal materials are extremely precious and rare, Doctor Feng asked your aunt to temporarily use the medicine according to the prescription he prescribed, and immediately went to Chang'an to look for them, and it was not until you entered the palace that they were ready. Wei Zifu patted his son's hand and comforted: "Before you came, I had sent someone to see your uncle, and it had improved, and now that the medicine has been prepared, let's hurry over." ”

"Good!" Seeing Yun Niang carrying the medicine bag in her hand, she went to the agarwood rack on the side to take off a cloak and put it on Wei Zifu carefully, "It's windy outside the queen mother, so it's better to put it on." ”

"Okay." Wei Zifu nodded, looking at his son in front of him who carefully tied his cloak, and there was a warmth surging in his heart.

----

The carriage and horses were rounded, and within half an hour they arrived at the general's mansion in the Jiadi District, and as soon as the carriage stopped, there were already people who passed through the house, and after a while, they saw Princess Pingyang go out to greet each other.

After greeting each other, Wei Zifu took Liu Yi into the mansion with Princess Pingyang, walked through the main hall and turned a flower hall, and then arrived at Wei Qing's inner room to recuperate. The interior furnishings are simple and simple, with a few screens and several couches, Wei Qing has drunk medicine and is leaning on the soft pillow to close his eyes and recuperate, with the sound of gently pushing the door, followed by the voice of Princess Pingyang: "General, the queen and the prince have come to see you." ”

Wei Qing opened his eyes, only to see Wei Zifu and Liu Ju had already walked to him, "Chen Wei Qing, I've seen..." ”

Wei Zifu also said angrily: "It's all my own family, free of those false courtesies, Qing'er, are you better?" ”

Wei Qing bowed at this time and said, "Thank you for the queen and the prince for your concern, the minister is much better!" ”

"I look a little more energetic than yesterday." Wei Zifu smiled and asked Yun Niang to hand the medicine bag to Princess Pingyang, and said: "Princess, Imperial Physician Feng has prepared all the medicines, you can boil three bowls of water to one bowl according to the decoction method he instructed yesterday, and take it three times a day." ”

Princess Pingyang took the medicine bag and said repeatedly: "Thank you!" The queen bothered! After that, he ordered someone to move the two brocade couches, and then took the medicine bag out to fry it.

"It's been a hard day, princess!" Wei Qing looked at the back of Princess Pingyang and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's rare that the princess treats you so sincerely!" Wei Zifu also felt the same way, but then focused his eyes on Wei Qing, and said with concern: "Qing'er, your old disease has recurred so badly this time, you have to recuperate for a while, don't work anymore!" ”

Wei Qing nodded and responded with a smile: "Obey my sister's order!" ”

Wei Zifu couldn't help but purse his lips and smiled when he heard this: "It's good to be really careful!" ”

"Uncle, you really have to recuperate, and when your body recovers, you have to win a game for me in front of my father!" Liu Ju said with a serious face.

Wei Qing couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "What do you mean?" ”

Liu said: "Last night when I played with my father in Ganquan Palace, after all, the two sons were only defeated by my father, and my father said that the way of the game is the same as the way of using soldiers, and we must learn more from my uncle, so I have to ask my uncle for more advice!" ”

"Your Majesty's words are true! There is indeed something in common between the art of war and chess. Wei Qing nodded and said, "In the chess path, 'rather lose a son, not lose a first', 'hit the left and look to the right, and after the attack, look ahead' are all similar to the art of war. ”

"Qing'er, let's wait until you're better." Wei Zifu interjected, "According to what you want to learn, there is time. ”

"yes, yes!" Liu couldn't help nodding and said, "Uncle, you have to recuperate first, and the coming day will be long!" ”

"Yes, according to your son, did you go to Ganquan Palace yesterday to visit your father?" Wei Zifu said, "Is your father in better health?" ”

"The queen mother, it is true that my son went to Ganquan Palace to visit his father, but there is a reason for it!" When it came to yesterday's incident, Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel guilty, so he detained the people in the house who were walking on the road of the Son of Heaven, and Jiang Chong, the messenger of embroidered clothes, blocking the road, and then going to Liu Che to ask for merit one by one, and Wei Qing couldn't help frowning when he heard it.

After Liu Ju finished speaking, Wei Qing asked: "According to the son, do you know the origin of this embroidered messenger Jiang Chong?" ”

Liu Ju shook his head blankly and looked at Wei Zifu, who also shook his head gently.

Wei Qing said: "Jiang Chong is a member of the Zhao family, and it is fortunate for His Majesty to report to His Majesty the crime of the cholera court of Liu Dan, the crown prince of Zhao State. He once sent an envoy to the Huns, and the official went to the captain of Shuiheng, and when he returned to the Huns, he worshiped the messenger of embroidered clothes, supervised the arrest of thieves in Sanfu, and supervised the words and deeds of hundreds of officials and the children of noble relatives. If the royal family and nobles have transgressed the courtesy, Jiang Chong will report the impeachment one by one, which is quite popular with His Majesty and is a confidant. ”

"In this way, Jiang Chong is not afraid of the powerful." Wei Zifu said with a slight bow.

"Not really." Wei Qing shook his head, "If you are just not afraid of the powerful and act impartially, it is really as Your Majesty said, a loyal and upright person." But looking at what this person did, he denounced the prince of Zhao because of personal grudges, although Zhao Dan deserved it, but because of this, it was not the duty of loyal ministers to cause civil strife in Zhao. Secondly, although he impeached the powerful for exceeding their authority, he was not righteous, and his relatives had many illegal things, but he never reported it. Such a disloyal and unrighteous person is not a good man! ”

"Uncle is right!" Liu Ju nodded and said, "Listening to what people said, Jiang Chong was quite proud when he detained my carriage and horses, and then went to my father to ask for credit." ”

"Since he knows that he is the crown prince and is pleased with His Majesty, why did he do this?" Wei Zifu was puzzled.

"That's what makes him so clever!" Wei Qing said, "Who is the most powerful person in the world who is comparable to the prince? But he Jiang Chong is not afraid of the power of the prince and enforces the law impartially, once this matter comes out, who else will question his integrity? And His Majesty has been on the throne for decades, and his martial arts are in the world, and the person he likes must have something extraordinary, and dare to offend the prince and act according to the law, sister think, will he be valued by His Majesty? ”

Wei Zifu suddenly realized, nodded and said, "That's true!" ”

"This guy is really hateful! Let's see how I find a chance to clean him up in the future! Liu said angrily.

"According to him, such a villain, it's better to stay away, don't entangle with him!" Wei Zifu advised.

"That's what my sister said!" Wei Qing also said to Liu, "According to you, you will be the king of the country in the future, and what you do should be to stay away from traitors!" And your words and deeds in Bowangyuan are too self-eligent, although Your Majesty does not pursue it, but it is inevitable that there will be a thorn in your heart, if someone has a heart to provoke, it will also be a disaster, you should take it seriously! ”

"Thank you uncle for mentioning it!" Wei Zifu said to Liu, "As the crown prince, you must be more cautious in your words and deeds, and don't give others a chance to take advantage of!" ”

"No!" Liu Ju replied respectfully to his mother, then got up, bowed to Wei Qingshen, and said, "Thank you, uncle!" Remember! ”
