Liu Ying's title of crown prince, although he himself doesn't know how heavy it is and how powerful it is, but his mother Empress Lu knows it, so almost all the things that stabilize his status as crown prince are secretly operated by Lu Pheasant behind his back.

Although Liu Bang put this matter down, Empress Lu was worried, and wanted to come to the minister of humerus in the court, so Zhang Liang, Lu Yan, Xiao He and others could talk, so Empress Lu wanted to find these three people to consolidate the status of the crown prince.

Just when Empress Lu didn't know how to convey his meaning, it happened that Hou Lu Shi came to visit Empress Lu before Jiancheng, Lu Shizhi was Empress Lu's elder brother, and he would come to visit his sister when he had time, and by the way, he would get closer to Liu Bang.

When Lu Shizhi had not yet entered the Changxin Palace, he heard Lu Pheasant sigh for a long time, and he was very surprised in his heart, thinking that his sister was the mother of the Han Dynasty, and what could make him worry.

Lu Shizhi hurriedly rushed to the palace, "Sister, why are you worried, you are sighing in the palace, if your majesty detects it, it is inevitable that you will not complain about your sister." ”

When Lu Pheasant saw his eldest brother coming, he immediately hid his face and wiped away his tears, "Big brother, you don't know, Your Majesty is fortunate to be Mrs. Qi today, and wants to make her son Liu Ruyi the crown prince, if this is the case, how can my mother and son still have a place to stay." ”

"What kind of person is Mrs. Qi, how can she compare with my Lu family, besides, Your Majesty has not mentioned this matter in the court recently, I think I have dispelled this idea, and my sister doesn't have to worry." Lu Shizhi comforted slightly.

"On that day, Pingnanhou and others interceded, and Zhou Chang maneuvered left and right, so that His Majesty let go of this matter a little, and then Mrs. Qi accompanied His Majesty day and night, Liu Ruyi was not crowned king, it was possible to become the crown prince, and please help me." Lu Pheasant said helplessly, and when he saw his sister so wronged, he immediately bowed his head.

"My sister can't leave the palace, if there is anything to tell me, I will definitely solve it well, and I won't let Ying'er be wronged at all." Lu Shizhi's words were very refreshing.

Lu Pheasant's face improved slightly, "The only ones who can speak and move today, or have a way to stabilize the holy will, are King Pingnan and Liuhou, although others are important ministers, but they are not good at talking, and I also ask the eldest brother to let the two of them help, and Lu Pheasant will be thanked in the future." ”

"That's right, sister, don't worry, Lu Yan and Zhang Liang are both in the school palace, I will go to see the two of them immediately, so that Ying'er's status can be worry-free." Lu Shizhi said very seriously.

After completing the Hou Yan, he immediately got up to say goodbye, and Empress Lu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, "I hope that the eldest brother can help Ying'er preserve the position of the prince, so that the Lu family will have no worries." ”

At this time, Lu Yan and Zhang Liang were playing chess and drinking tea in the palace, except for the princely number, the two seemed to be alone, of course, there was another Huaiyin Marquis Han Xin recently, and he didn't listen to things outside the window, and only read the art of war.

In the backyard of the Xue Palace, before Lu Yan's chess pieces fell, he saw Jiancheng Hou coming from a distance, and his heart was a little dazed, "Brother Zifang, it seems that a distinguished guest has come to look for you, and Ziyu admits defeat in this game." ”

When Zhang Liang heard this, he turned around slightly, and saw that it was Lu Shizhi, so he immediately got up and saluted with Lu Yan, "Jiancheng Hou is a vast person, why did he come to this school palace, he didn't want to educate people." ”

Jiancheng Hou walked briskly, and said with some trepidation: "I am a small lord, how to compare with the two, if there is anything to sit down and say, so as not to disturb the two." ”

Lu Yan bowed his head, motioned to the entourage next to him to withdraw the chessboard, put warm tea on the table, and after the three of them finished the ceremony, Lu Shizhi's face gradually became solemn, and asked slightly tentatively: "The two know that Your Majesty wants to change the crown prince, if this matter is successful, wouldn't King Pingnan's hard work be in vain, how can the Marquis lie down with his back down?" ”

Lu Yan and Zhang Liang glanced at each other and pondered for a long time, before Lu Yan excused himself and said: "At the beginning, Your Majesty was in danger several times, and there was no chaos in the face of danger, and everyone discussed it, so we were fortunate to adopt our strategy. ”

"If you are stable today, the situation is naturally very different, not to mention that now Your Majesty wants to replace the prince out of preference, this is a matter between people's flesh and blood, although we are important ministers, but fundamentally speaking, we are also outsiders, how can outsiders participate in the decisions of the royal family, if there is a slight mistake, it is inevitable that you will be scolded through the ages, and Your Majesty makes good use of his own will, even if there are many old ministers who come forward, what role can it play?"

When Lu Shizhi heard this, how could he not know what the two of them meant, and the name of the hero was obviously not wanting to participate in the affairs of the court, so he shirked it like this, so as not to get into trouble.

However, since he promised Lu Pheasant, this matter must be solved perfectly, so regardless of the faces of the entourage next to him, he immediately knelt in front of Zhang Liang and Lu Yan, and said with a sad face: "King Pingnan must help me, when my father rescued the mother and son regardless of the obstacles, shouldn't my Lu family be in trouble, shouldn't the prince come to the rescue?" ”

After hearing this, Lu Yan also felt unhappy in his heart, so he said slightly vaguely: "As long as the prince does what His Majesty can't do, and it is not outdated, then what reason does Your Majesty have to abolish the eldest son, Brother Zifang, do you say?" ”

Zhang Liang was a little dazed, so he had to say helplessly: "This kind of thing, I'm afraid it will be difficult to work just by relying on our three-inch incorruptible tongue, Ziyu's remarks do have some truth." ”

"I don't think it's as good as this, I know that there are four people, who the emperor has always wanted to use in the palace, but failed to hide the masters, these four people studied in various places in the early years, and now although they are old, they are still unwilling to serve Your Majesty, the reason is that I heard that Your Majesty has always despised scholars, so they fled to the mountains and did not become Hanchen."

"But Your Majesty loves fame, and the four of them are of great prestige, so they are highly respected, and if the Crown Prince were to write a letter of humble speech, with more jewels and silks, and with a comfortable vehicle, and to send a man of good speech to hire them sincerely, they should come."

"When the time comes, the prince treats them with courtesy, so that they feel that the prince is gentle and humble, and is willing to follow, and then let them often go to court with the prince, so that His Majesty can see them, and in this way, it should be very helpful to the prince."

Lu Shizhi bowed slightly, and looked at King Pingnan on the side, Lu Yan immediately said: "Although the Marquis of Jiancheng can rest assured, it is time for us to fight for reason in front of His Majesty to preserve the status of the crown prince, so let's do it according to the arrangement of the Marquis for now." ”

Seeing that Lu Yandu had already agreed to this matter, Lu Shi felt that this matter was reasonable, so he immediately sent someone to tell Lu Pheasant, but Lu Pheasant couldn't do it in his heart, so he had to temporarily follow what Zhang Liang and the others said, and take Shangshan Sihao as a life-saving straw.

Lu Pheasant also immediately asked Liu Ying to write a letter, in which the words were as sincere and humble as possible, not as a prince, but as a student.

After all the preparations were completed, Lu Shizhi drove there, and inquired many ways on the way, only to know that Shangshan Sihao lived in Maoshan Forest, and after several treks, he came to the foot of Maoshan Forest with many treasures.
