As soon as Liu Ying arrived at the Xue Palace, Lu Shizhi drove from outside, and at this moment Lu Yan had already stood at the head of the door, and immediately shouted to Liu Ying in front of him: "Crown prince, get dressed and salute the teacher." ”

"Got it, teacher." Liu Yingyan immediately rushed to Lu Yan's side, at this time Si Hao was slowly getting down from the car, and saw a young man about twenty years old standing in front of him, and a young man in his teens standing next to him, and many disciples behind him were very respectful, which made the four of them a little surprised.

The one who looked at the twenty-year-old was naturally Lu Yan, and immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Junior, Lu Yan Lu Ziyu has seen a few gentlemen, and he also asked to learn to talk in the palace." ”

"It turned out to be King Pingnan, we are rude, I didn't expect King Pingnan to be so young, it's really surprising." Dongyuan Gong said rather blankly.

"Where is this old gentleman, knowledge does not ask about background, naturally there is no need to ask about appearance, although I am a prince, I still don't know as much as the four elders, Ying'er, hurry up and salute." Lu Yan said very respectfully beside him.

Seeing that the four elders were all in their eighties, Liu Ying also stepped forward slowly, and said a little shyly: "Disciple Liu Ying has seen the four masters, and please give more advice in the future." ”

Seeing this, Dongyuan Gong was overjoyed, "The crown prince really knows etiquette, it seems that the disciples under King Pingnan are not simple." There was a lot of admiration in the words.

"Please also ask the palace to speak, which has prepared wine and food, for you to receive the wind and wash the dust, and also to talk about Confucianism and Taoism with everyone." As Lu Yan spoke, he invited the four of them into the palace.

Since then, Liu Ying has become more and more respectful, and the four of them have never left Liu Ying almost every day, teaching knowledge from morning to night, and it is said that Liu Ying should have the life of the prince.

Liu Ying At present, although the status of the crown prince is threatened, it will not be abolished at any time, so he will have the opportunity to contact Liu Bang, so that he can see Shangshan Sihao.

In the winter of 198 before, it was Liu Bang's birthday party, after all, it was the emperor's birthday, so it was necessary to feast on hundreds of officials.

On the banquet that day, Liu Ying served on the left and right, Xiao He and the others all retreated, ranking under the prince, and behind the prince was the so-called Eshang Mountain Sihao, Liu Bang saw Liu Ying followed by four old men, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he still came to join in the fun at such an old age, it really shouldn't be, the most important thing is that they are all eighty years away, with snow-white beards and peculiar clothes.

Eighty years old still have to participate in the banquet, dressed up unusually how can it not attract the attention of others, but they follow behind the prince, who dares to ask, in the end, Liu Bang couldn't help it, so he asked Lu Yan in a low voice.

"Ziyu, why did these old men appear in the palace? Does Ziyu know what is his relationship with the prince? He was very surprised.

Unexpectedly, without waiting for Lu Yan to answer, the four people bowed directly and saluted, and said their names in turn, Liu Bang was taken aback when he heard it, and said very excitedly: "I have repeatedly searched for all the masters over the years, but you have avoided them, why do you come to follow my son now?" ”

Anyway, Liu Bang's heart is very complicated at this moment, after all, he sent someone to invite him five or six times, but none of them were willing to go out of the mountains to take charge of things, but he didn't expect the crown prince to do it, and Liu Bang also inadvertently cast an approving look at Liu Ying.

Dongyuan Gong replied first: "Your Majesty has always despised Gaoshi, and he is prone to insults, and his ministers are unwilling to bring humiliation on themselves. Now I heard that the prince is benevolent and filial, respectful and loving, and all the people in the world are unwilling to come to serve, looking forward to serving the prince to death, so the ministers and others came voluntarily. ”

After Liu Bang heard this, it was even more difficult to believe their words in his heart, at such an age, I didn't come so many times, today is my birthday, not only came to the palace, but also was willing to die for the prince, which was really unheard of.

Liu Bang immediately drank a glass of sake, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to say casually: "Then you will assist the prince in the future." ”

Although the four old men are old, they know etiquette, and after toasting Liu Bang's birthday, they will politely leave, at this moment Mrs. Qi is beside Liu Bang, Liu Bang pointed to the white shadows of the four, and said to Mrs. Qi angrily: "I originally wanted to replace the prince, but with the assistance of the four of them, I want to come to the prince's wings, it is difficult to shake him, Lu Pheasant is really the master of the harem this time." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Qi was sad in her heart, and immediately burst into tears, Liu Bang pretended to be forced to laugh: "Madame, don't be angry, come and dance Chu dance for me, and I will sing Chu songs for you." ”

Liu Bang improvised a song based on the prince's incident: "The bird flies high, and it is a thousand miles in one fell swoop." The wings are ready, and they are all over the world. Across the world, what can be done! Although there is a payment, Shang An has done! ”

Mrs. Qi danced, and immediately sobbed in Liu Bang's arms, but now it was a banquet, this move was a bit rude, Lu Yan coughed a little beside her, and Mrs. Qi felt helpless and walked towards the harem.

"Ziyu, you are really like Sihao, you are so stubborn." Liu Bang said with some jokingness.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are rigid, but that the law can't be messed up, the Son of Heaven is the head of all the people, and everything he does is passed on by word of mouth all over the world, so naturally there can be no rudeness, Your Majesty can do it in the harem." Lu Yan said slowly.

Liu Bang immediately laughed when he heard this, "I didn't expect Ziyu to start teaching me a lesson, some time ago Zhou Chang's old man also said that I am like a businessman in Xia." ”

"Your Majesty's rule is stable and peaceful, but unfortunately he can't handle family affairs." Lu Yan pretended to be helpless and said.

Liu Bang was beside him, and his face suddenly became a little serious, "Zi Yuyan is also, Mrs. Qi is a concubine today, Ruyi is her son, and neither mother and son are considered supreme, but Liu Ying abides by filial piety, and after ten thousand years, the power is likely to fall into the hands of Lu Pheasant, and when the Han family does not talk about it for the time being, it will be difficult for the Qi family mother and son to keep safe." ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter should be resolved now, so as not to rush in the future." Lu Yan said quite indifferently.

"Ziyu said this, there must be a way, please come and listen to me." Liu Bang asked curiously, in Liu Bang's opinion, this is also the top priority of the emperor's family.

"The three princes can be crowned as kings, now Your Majesty is strong and strong, there is still a lot of time before 10,000 years, during this time, the three princes are in the country, and Mrs. Qi Sasuke makes the people rich, so that the people are rich and rich, so that Empress Lu will not say anything, and Mrs. Qi has been away from the court for a long time, and Empress Lu and her grievances will disappear, which is also a good strategy, Ziyu is also worried that Empress Lu is okay on the surface, and he holds a grudge in his heart, but at that time, the crown prince will be around and around, and there should be no major incidents." Lu Yan said a little against his will.

However, Liu Bang listened carefully, and he also felt reasonable, "Ziyu's thoughts are quite useful, for the time being, and there is only Liu Heng in the land of the Zhao Dynasty, why don't you crown Liu Ruyi as the king of Zhao and choose a day to go to the country." ”
