"Young son, your grass house looks dilapidated, but there is something in it! Not bad, that's good! The crown prince Liu Biao caressed the four walls of the grass house, feeling the warmth completely different from the outside, and was full of praise. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Fang, who had already put on a cloth dress and linen skirt, personally laid out the reed mat, invited the prince to sit, and said with a smile: "This is also forced, I don't want to do something, how can I survive this cold winter?" ”

Liu Biao glared and said, "Then what else do you play 'winter swimming'?" Not afraid of freezing to death in the river? ”

Zhang Fang respectfully bowed to the north: "If this is not the case, there is no way to show filial piety." ”

In ancient times, there was a strange logic of filial piety, the more dry and haggard the appearance of a filial son, the more it can show its sincerity and filial piety. This is reflected in the mourning in the bedroom, the pillow block of the mat, the cloth and hemp skirt, and the abstinence from meat and sex. Anyway, as long as you can toss yourself, it's best to lose weight like a handful of firewood, and others will praise you for your honesty and filial piety when they see it.

Zhang Fang's complexion is actually very good, although he has lost some weight, his muscles and bones are stronger, like a sword, the more he sharpens, the more dazzling he becomes. Winter swimming is for Zhang Fang, although it is a kind of exercise, but since it was discovered by the prince, it might as well claim that it is to show filial piety and seek self-suffering, anyway, there are many such things in the Han Dynasty, but it can add points in the prince's mind.

Liu Biao was amazed, looked at the pillow on the mat pillow on the pit, then looked at Zhang Fang, and shook his head: "Ji Zi once told me that I almost can't recognize you." I also said that my appearance may have changed a little, but the person is still the same person...... At the moment, it really is. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that I could cut down a year of decay and even swim naked in winter...... Is this still the Zhang Shaozi who broke a little skin and cried out for a long time? ”

Zhang Fang smiled and said: "People always have to change, it is definitely different for the young marquis of Fuping to become the marquis of Fuping, and it is definitely different for the prince to become the son of heaven." ”

Liu Biao looked left and right, the attendants were all outside the grass house, and laughed and scolded in a low voice: "After going out to fight for a few years, my courage has really become bigger, and I dare to say such things." ”

Zhang Fang looked taken for granted: "I don't know what to do." ”

Liu Biao suddenly sighed, listless: "You have been in control for many years, and you have never left an inch, and I am afraid that there are some things that I don't know...... Today, in addition to me, there is also the king of Jiyang. ”

This is the second time Zhang Fang and Liu Biao have met. The first time was when Liu Biao represented the Son of Heaven and gave a funeral to his aunt Princess Jingwu. In fact, when Zhang Lin died, Liu Biao also mourned on behalf of the Son of Heaven, but Zhang Fang had not come back at that time, so he missed it. And Liu Biao appeared this time, the reason is also simple, he once again represents the Son of Heaven, and worships the ancestral tomb at the beginning of the year - Du Ling is the mausoleum of Liu Biao's grandfather, Liu Xunzhi, Emperor Zhongzong of Han and Xiaoxuan.

After Liu Biao worshipped, he remembered that Zhang Fang was nearby, so he stopped by to have a look.

Liu Biao and Zhang Fang are similar in age, they are not only cousins, but also young, and they are also members of the five-person group.

Since Zhang Fang's return, because of the relationship between the decline and the decline, he really has little time to interact with Liu Biao, but for the future son of heaven and the surrounding relations, it is listed as the primary focus. So as soon as Liu Biao said King Jiyang, he knew who he was and what the situation was.

The king of Jiyang's name is Liu Kang, and he is Liu Wei's half-brother, and his biological mother is Fu Zhaoyi. "Zhaoyi", the more well-known title of the concubine, was specially tailored by Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty for her and another favorite concubine, Feng Yan, and has been used for thousands of years. Because Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty did not like Empress Wang Zhengjun (Liu Biao's biological mother), he didn't particularly like this eldest son.

And Liu Kang is different, because Fu Zhaoyi is very favored, and Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty loves Wu and Wu, and he is also quite fond of this neutron. When Liu Kang grew up, he was versatile, especially good at music and rhythm. It is said that it is normal for the prince to be good at music, but it should be noted that Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty himself is a super music enthusiast.

Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty once demonstrated a cool skill: he had a row of military drums placed under the steps in front of the palace, standing by the railing of the corridor, and then throwing small copper pills to hit the drums, which he could accurately beat. And the three princes present at that time, Liu Biao, Liu Kang, and Liu Xing, only Liu Kang could beat the drum with pills and play a song in conjunction with his father's rhythm. The other two princes can only stand on the sidelines.

This is a bosom friend! It is conceivable how pleased Liu Kang would be to Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, so Emperor Yuan often praised Liu Kang's talent in front of his ministers.

Shizhong Stan felt that this thing tasted wrong, so he said: "Talent should refer to being sensitive and studious, reviewing the past and learning the new, that is, a person like the prince." How can a person's talent be measured by their ability to play a musical instrument? If you say so, wouldn't Chen Hui and Li Wei (the head of the harem's music foreman) be much more talented than Prime Minister Kuang Heng? It's better to just use the two of them instead of Kuang Heng's auxiliary government! ”

Shi Dan is a relative and has always been valued by Emperor Yuan, so he speaks straightly, but it still makes sense.

After listening to Shi Dan's words, Emperor Yuan was silent and thoughtful, and smiled after a while.

This matter can be regarded as being revealed, and Emperor Yuan did not mention Liu Kang's ability to play musical instruments relatively little, but Emperor Yuan's preference for Liu Kang is already well known. Fortunately, his mother, who spoiled his son, almost replaced the crown prince.

Deng Zhan, Qing Yan, and Han Jun could get this information almost without much effort. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Fang heard the words "King of Jiyang", he knew the key and understood Liu Biao's feelings, so he persuaded: "King Jiyang is also the grandson of the first emperor, and it is natural to worship with the prince." ”

Liu Biao said angrily: "It is natural to worship together, but the etiquette is like me, and it stands with me and sacrifices, what is this?" ”

Zhang Fang's eyes widened, pointing to the sky, his eyes full of question marks.

Liu Biao nodded and was sullen.

This is the meaning of the Son of Heaven, so it is intriguing.

Zhang Fang was a little worried, could it be his "butterfly" flapping its wings and changing something. But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem to have changed anything. Well, I hope so.

While pondering, I heard Liu Biao sigh: "I will go to Zhongshan Country to worship next month, alas! At the end of the year, I don't know how many I have run. ”

"Zhongshan Country?" Zhang Fang was surprised, "Who is it?" ”

"I'm afraid you won't believe it, it's 'Meng Chang' who went."

Zhang Fang was really surprised at this time, Meng Chang is the second eldest of the five-person group, named Liu Jing. But why is it not called "Zhongzi", but "Meng Chang", because this Liu is the younger brother of today's Emperor Yuan. In other words, he is Liu Biao's uncle, but he is the same age as Liu Biao, and they have been playing together since childhood. Because Liu is two months younger than Liu Biao, but he is an uncle, he is "Meng" in the queue, and he is tied with Liu Biao.

Liu Jing changed his title to the king of Zhongshan at the age of sixteen and went out of Beijing to go to the country, but he did not expect to die just two years later. That's eighteen years old!

Zhang put it in his mind and rummaged through the image of Liu Jing, and a vague thin and sickly image appeared in front of him. Well, that's no wonder.

"Say more for me." Zhang Fang looked around the grass house and showed a faint smile, "When the prince comes back, my beheading will also expire, and I hope the four of us can get together at that time." ”

Liu Biao looked sad and laughed: "That's exactly how it should be." (To be continued.) )
