Regarding the Helan guards, Liu Bang had to rethink the candidates, and finally decided to let Boyang Hou Chen Bi go to guard Helan. In the past few days, the matter of the Kanto migrants has been in full swing, and Prime Minister Xiao He and several ministers who dealt with this matter told the emperor that in the past few days, there have been large groups of immigrants stationed in Chang'an City, and according to the original plan, these immigrants will be temporarily placed in the south of Chang'an City, and temporarily placed next to Xinfeng County and Bailuyuan. Liu Bang was very satisfied with Xiao He's approach, and had no opinion on it, so he stroked his back with a smile and praised the prime minister's virtuous ability. Several monarchs and ministers went out of the east gate of Chang'an City (the city wall of Chang'an was not repaired when Gaozu was in the time, so it can only be called the palace gate according to the east, west, north and south), and went up to a plateau, and the king looked at the Kwantung people who migrated one after another, and a smile of success appeared on his face, but soon he frowned and pouted and shook his head.

"Why is Your Majesty shaking your head?" Xiao He asked.

Liu Bang looked at the end of the plateau and said with a sigh, "Has the prime minister solved the problem of land and houses?" ”

Xiao He stepped forward and arched his hand, "The minister has ordered the opening of some idle gardens according to His Majesty's wishes, and His Majesty's 'and Litian Mansion' are generally not much of a problem. ”

Liu Bang exhaled a long breath, put his hands behind his back, gritted his teeth, and squinted his eyes to look at the distance of Gao Yuan. The land of Chang'an is certain, and now Xiao He redivides all the land in the Guannai according to Liu Bang's intentions, for those Chang'an soldiers who once followed Liu Bang to fight the world, Liu Bang needs to give priority to their preferences, only a few of these soldiers have become powerful landlords in the Guannai, and most of the soldiers have become homesteaders with a small part of the land or tenant households with no land at all. The old forces of the six countries of Kanto and some local powerful forces are also the objects of Liu Bang's attention, and they must take care of their interests and appease their grievances caused by their migration, so they issued a preferential policy of 'and Li Tian House' to give preferential treatment to the Kwantung people who migrate.

Liu Bangfang was in a trance, Chen Ping stepped forward and said, "The two generals of Jiangguan have been inspecting Chang'an for a few days, and they have caught a lot of thieves, they have been doing stealing for a long time, and they are different from the thieves who have risen in Guanzhong recently. The two generals thought about the recent Kanto migrants, it is likely that those thieves will take advantage of this opportunity to move, sure enough, most of the thieves chose the noble tombs to excavate and steal, General Zhou Guan ordered people to ambush around the mausoleum to observe, within a few days thousands of thieves fell into their hands, and they were just beheaded the day before yesterday. ”

Liu Bang looked at Chen Ping, thinking that Chen Ping suddenly said that thieves must have an extraneous voice, so he asked Chen Ping, "What does the prince want to say?" ”

"In the future, if the thieves who continue to steal are caught, they do not have to be executed, although the people who built the Changling Tomb are the criminal slaves in the East Pass, but most of them are the children of the Guanzhong Kwantung who have served for a month, and the people can gradually be replaced, let these guilty people repair the tomb, and encourage those people who repair the tomb to go to the border fortress to avoid their forced labor and taxes, I think they are more willing to go to the border fortress than to repair the tomb. The emperor can give an amnesty to the people under the death penalty, encourage them to enrich the border fortress, and give them horses, cattle and sheep, so that they will definitely give up the original land to go to the border fortress, which can solve part of the land problem. In addition, in the past year, some high-ranking officials and landlords in Chang'an City have become too many slaves in their homes, and we can force them to exempt themselves from slavery, and these slaves will also be put into the border plug, so that they will be exempted from servitude and taxes, and then redivide the land, which should be about the same. ”

Liu Bang nodded when he heard it, and Xiao He next to him also listened quite reasonably, and secretly admired Chen Ping's handling of some unexpected things, which was calm and effective. Liu Bang lowered his head and didn't say a word, kicked the stone on the ground with his toes, and laughed out loud when he remembered something, Xiao He Chen looked at each other in amazement, Liu Bang said to them, "Those horses, the horses that Mao Dun gave me...... finally couldn't help but laugh again and added, "It's all public." After that, he continued to look up to the sky and laughed. When Xiao He and Chen Ping heard this, they were stunned, looked at each other, and then laughed out loud. The laughter of the three monarchs and ministers resounded on the plateau.

It turned out that since Liu Jinghe went to the Xiongnu with He again, Liu Bang had asked someone to arrange for 400 horses to be handed over to the border fortress, and build a horse garden to continue to reproduce, so as to supply the Han court with possible emergencies at any time, such as suppressing the rebellion that might arise in the six countries of the Kwantung region, you can go north and use all these horses to ride in battle, and the people in the border fortress can also be requisitioned as soldiers, if the Xiongnu invade, the people on these border fortresses can also turn the people into troops to resist. Unexpectedly, Liu Bang thought that there was a little trouble, and when the servant Xiahou Ying and the servant Cheng reported that they were focusing on checking the good, bad, sick and weak of the horses, they inadvertently found that all these horses were male, which surprised Xiahou Ying and the servant, so they hurriedly reported to Liu Bang. Liu Bang was immediately stunned when he heard this, raised his eyebrows slightly and thought for a while, and said how could Mao Dun give himself so many horses, it turned out that these were all stallions and could not reproduce, on the surface, it was a major etiquette for the Han family, but in private it was to cut off the reproduction of horses. Liu Bang knew what Mao Dun meant, so he immediately laughed, he should have been angry when he talked about it, but Liu Bang couldn't help laughing, and told himself that Mao Dun thought of this trick was amazing, but fortunately, Mao Dun did not benefit, but the princess was stiffened by Li Dai but did not know. Liu Bang and Mao Dun can be described as two scheming monarchs fighting wit. Fortunately, the Han family is not without horses, it can only be said that there are very few, so that not a single mare can be found, and the horses will not be unable to reproduce.

The Kanto people continue to migrate. A big sun shone on the Kanto people, shining a brilliant golden light, and the Kanto people rushed to the golden light of the sun to enter the Kanchu......

“…… A row of golden grain ears is cut out on the ridge, and a row of red sorghum is inlaid under the ridge; The guy on the hill tied up the sheep's belly hand towel, and the girl on the hill rolled up the red head rope; Eight hundred miles away from the fertile grassland, the Qinchuan River is full of orchid flowers, and an eagle soars in the blue sky of the rolling Yellow River......" A familiar melody suddenly sounded under the plateau, attracting Liu Bang's monarchs and ministers to look at it, and Liu Bang smiled slightly and hummed along, "...... A row of golden grain ears was cut out on the ridge, and a row of red sorghum was inlaid under the ridge...... "Xiao He Chen Ping also hummed along.

When night fell, Liu Bang returned to the palace from the plateau, and after dinner, he returned to the inner hall of the Yuzao Palace alone, and saw that Mrs. Qi and Ruyi were not there, so he stood alone in front of the carved window, and quietly looked at the cold moon in the sky behind his hands. Liu Bang thought about the recent events, and Liu Jing went to the Xiongnu with He Fu, but there was no news; The misunderstanding between Empress Lu and him was not resolved; Meng Yao, who was already pregnant with the dragon seed, was forced to have no way to live by his concubine, but Liu Bang was not easy to get angry openly, and he pressed his anger in his chest and felt more and more aggrieved; The prince's fall into the water made Liu Bang feel a little compassionate, knowing that the prince was not at fault. Liu Bang was very entangled in his heart, and now he was almost in the age of sixties, but he was vacillating about the choice of the prince, and he was exhausted by all the things in the foreign court. Since Meng Yao's death, Liu Bang often stood alone in front of the window looking at the bright moon, and now it is the fourth night, and he still stands here quietly without saying a word.

'Squeak-', Mrs. Qi pulled Ruyi and pushed open the door of the hall and came in, and the mother and son were talking and laughing. Ruyi naughtily wrapped around Mrs. Qi's waist and asked Qi Ji to hug him, Mrs. Qi immediately suppressed her smile and changed her smile to a stern expression, Ruyi's request disappeared in an instant. I inadvertently looked inside, and saw the emperor standing in front of the carved window, looking up at the moonlight, without saying a word, and he didn't even look back when he and Ruyi came in. Mrs. Qi 'shhhh Ruyi's sharp eyes had already seen his father's attentive appearance in front of the carved window, his black eyes turned smartly, and a mysterious smile suddenly jumped on his face, so he let go of Mrs. Qi's hand, and tiptoed towards Liu Bang, who was standing in front of the carved window, and slapped Liu Bang's waist with a 'pop-'.

Not frightened, but also stunned, seeing Ruyi with his hands covering his mouth and looking at himself with a smile, Liu Bang turned around and touched Ruyi's little head with a slightly sad face, and then smiled far-fetchedly, and asked Ruyi if he could learn anything recently, Ruyi grinned and stuck out his tongue without answering. Liu Bang was really in no mood to play with Ruyi, so he asked Zhen'er to take Ruyi down.

Liu Bang took off his robe and handed it to Mrs. Qi, and went to lie down on the couch. Mrs. Qi hung her robe on the hanger and followed to the couch, silently took off Liu Bang's boots, helped him back to the couch with his legs, and shook off the quilt and covered Liu Bang, who was leaning on the pillow without saying a word. There was no sound in the hall for a moment, and after a while, Mrs. Qi put her hand on Liu Bang's left shoulder and said, "Meng Yao's future affairs have been done." ”

Liu Bang's vicissitudes of life were slightly moved, his cloudy eyes subconsciously moved slightly, turned his head to look at Mrs. Qi, and nodded to Qi Ji for a long time, took her hand and patted it gently, revealing infinite exhaustion in the deep and said, "Thank you." ”

"Your Majesty has been standing here here every night and looking out of the window these days, but have you encountered any difficulties?" Mrs. Qi asked.

Liu Bang sighed and said in silence for a long time, "Things have really gone wrong recently. Looking at Qi Ji and said, "The Lu family doesn't seem to know about the prince's trip to Helan, otherwise she would definitely have to make trouble with me." There is nothing wrong with the prince's filial piety, why do I always hate him? I often wander around the lively Ruyi, but I have snubbed the prince a little. Now that he has fallen into the water, I have sent other generals to guard Helan. I don't know if it's messed up with your plan. ”

Qi Ji's eyes moved slightly, she felt slightly frightened, she was restless, Yujing Huaming's face suddenly felt extremely stiff, and the hands held by Liu Bang immediately broke out in a cold sweat. After a quick plan in his abdomen, he calmed down, and said calmly, "The concubine has no plans. After a long pause, he cried again, "It doesn't matter whether there is a plan or not, the concubine has already become a person who must be eliminated in the eyes of the Lu family, the concubine is not afraid of death, and the concubine is afraid of dying and cannot accept His Majesty, but no matter how good and lively he is, he can't survive to the year of the crown." His Majesty has a heart for the Lu family, and also for the other concubines, and the concubine will not look forward to His Majesty's white head oath. After that, Qi Ji really wiped some tears.

Liu Bang sat up, hugged her into his arms and said, "I don't blame you, the dislike between you and her is caused by me." I have been married to the Lu family for nearly 20 years, and she and I have experienced twists and turns together, and the rugged and stormy years have honed her temperament, and I also complain about this matter. I love her, and I love you. Ruyi is still young, the prince is a little longer, the position of the prince is not to be talked about for the time being, as for the Lu family to get rid of you and Ruyi, you don't have to worry, I am here, and I will do everything for your mother and son. ”

Qi Ji fell into Liu Bang's arms and cried, complaining that Liu Bang's mind was not firm enough, and she was a little anxious about the future and cried non-stop. Liu Bang was silent and hugged her tightly.
