For a few days, Zhou Chang thought about Chen Xuan's affairs and was uneasy, and privately put the Zhao dynasty and government under the supervision of the imperial historian, and after instructing King Zhao, he hurriedly went south and returned to Guanzhong.

And said that since Zhou Chang took King Zhao to Zhao, Liu Bang always stayed in Qi Ji Palace to comfort Qi Ji, and soon heard that the Emperor Taishang of Liyang Palace was sick, so he always stayed by the side of Emperor Taishang, day and night to send decoction medicine, while taking care of the Emperor Taishang, while paying attention to the court, on the other hand, he always made plans for Qi Ji's mother and son, and he was worried about falling ill for several days.

I heard that Zhou Chang returned to Beijing from Zhao State, and at this time outside the palace, Liu Bang was worried that something would happen to King Zhao, so he got up from the couch at once, shook the hot towel cloth on his forehead, and took three steps to the side of the confessor to summon Zhou Chang into the palace. When Zhou Chang entered the palace, Liu Bang immediately exempted him from the cumbersome etiquette, got up from the couch to greet Zhou Chang, and held Zhou Chang's arm with a worried face and eagerly asked, "Is the prince returning to Beijing for King Zhao?" Zhou Chang shook his head and was invited by Liu Bang to the inner hall seat, Zhou Chang sat down unceremoniously with worries, Mrs. Qi personally brought tea and poured a cup for each of them, Mrs. Qi saw Zhou Chang but had already cried, and asked Zhou Chang, "Junhou, is King Zhao good in Zhao Kingdom?" Are you thin or fat, have you grown taller, have you ever had a cold at night? How are you eating? Have you ever missed me and Your Majesty? Mrs. Qi asked again and again, Zhou Chang was slightly stunned and looked at Liu Bang, seeing that Liu Bang also had concern for King Zhao in his eyes, Zhou Chang gave Mrs. Qi a light hand and said, "King Zhao is all right, recently built a granary for the people of Zhao State, set up a horse garden, dug mountains and opened roads, and won the hearts of the people of Zhao State." The palace people carefully took care of King Zhao's diet and daily life, and after dealing with the government affairs, they studied with the eleven-year-old son of the imperial doctor, King Zhao is getting better and better, and Mrs. Qi does not have to worry. ”

Mrs. Qi and Liu Bang exhaled relaxedly, Liu Bang caressed Qi Ji's back and comforted him, and smiled at Zhou Chang, "The state of a woman's son, the prince smiled." "The love of parents for their children is only respectful and not ridiculed." Zhou Chang replied. "It's not for King Zhao to return to Beijing, why is the prince returning to Beijing to see me urgently?" Liu Bang asked Zhou Chang with a straight face, "Hurry up." Seeing that the monarch and the minister were talking about mysterious political affairs, Mrs. Qi retreated in time.

Zhou Chang's face immediately became serious, and he leaned close to Liu Bang's ear to tell Liu Bang that Chen Feng had many guests and had been in charge of the military for many years and was prone to dissent, Liu Bang frowned at first, and stared straight at Zhou Chang with a pair of sharp and wise old eyes, and only after a long time did he take a sip of the warm tea on the case, but he seemed to still have something to think, and scratched the side of his ear before saying to Zhou Chang, "Is the prince serious?" Chen Feng likes to learn from Xinlingjun to raise guests, and I also admire Xinlingjun, how can he suspect that he has two intentions for the Han Dynasty because he likes to raise guests? Chen Feng followed me as early as when I started the army, and I knew him well. The prince is afraid that he is overly worried about this person. Liu Bang pretended to smile lightly.

Zhou Chang became even more urgent, straightened up and turned half of his body to persuade Liu Bang urgently, "Your Majesty, time has changed, have you forgotten the rebellion of Yan Wang Zang Di and Han Wang Xin?" All have military power and all rebel in the north, the minister is not for General Chen Xuan to support guests, but he has been in charge of the Zhao Dynasty border guards for many years and won the hearts of soldiers, if his subordinates support him to establish himself as king or can not withstand the Xiongnu's sweet words and persuade him to return to the Xiongnu, Chen Feng has become a major danger in the north. Life is all fame and fortune in the world, Your Majesty has already called Lone the first person in the south, is someone else willing to guard the border? Since ancient times, there have been people who are not tempted by fame and fortune, after all, there are a few. Besides, power is loved by all, who doesn't want to get close to the blue sky and see the earth? Fame and fortune are the corrosive objects of the human heart, fame and integrity are loved by people, if fame and fortune overpower integrity, this person will do things like a dam bursting dangerously. General Chen Feng has been away for many years, has experienced a lot, travels like a prince, and His Majesty has not crowned him king, it is difficult to ensure that his guests did not instigate Chen Feng to enter the throne, there are Huns on the border into the city, it is difficult to ensure that Chen Feng has no contact with him in private, and it is difficult to ensure that Chen Feng will never have two hearts. I hope that Your Majesty will secretly visit General Chen Xuan, firstly, to verify his person, and secondly, Your Majesty can also rest assured. The words of the minister, may Your Majesty think about it. ”

Liu Bang didn't say anything for a while, there was a rare sadness on his old face, he sat on the seat and frowned for a long time without saying a word, and only played with the Lantian jade carving toad on the case with both hands, but obviously listened to Zhou Chang's words in his heart, and said to Zhou Chang for a long time, "The prince will go back first, and wait for me to think about it." Zhou Chang finished his salute and left the palace. After Zi Zhouchang left, Liu Bang never got up with a solemn face, and the wrinkled old face never stretched again. Liu Bang really didn't think that Chen Feng would have two hearts, Chen Feng and he used to belong to the same people of Chu State, and after the army, Chen Feng marched and fought a lot of attention from Liu Bang, and it was because of his trust in Chen Feng that he handed over the military power of the border defense of the Zhao Dynasty to him. Now, according to Zhou Changyi, Liu Bang is somewhat shaken, and he has not seen Chen Feng for many years, and I don't know if his heart is still Han. Most of the people in the world are only for fame, fortune and power, and few people are not shaken by power and property, if it is really as Zhou Chang said, once Chen Feng has a different heart, he will immediately become the heart of the Han Dynasty. In the past, he trusted Yan Wang Zang Di, trusted Han Wangxin, and appointed them as Wang Zhen to guard the border, but the two rebelled back and forth to help Hu, and the matter of these two people still made Liu Bang furious. Chen Feng has been guarding the border of the Zhao Dynasty for many years, and Liu Bang really didn't know how much Chen Feng's heart belonged to Han, so he thought that Liu Bang was full of excitement and broke out in a cold sweat. Since I read what Zhou Chang said, it must not be groundless, maybe I should secretly investigate, not only to verify Chen Xuan's heart, but also to ensure that the Han Dynasty is safe.

The next day, Liu Bang did not make arrangements for Chen Xuan's affairs, and the eunuchs of Liyang Palace hurriedly ran to say that the Emperor Taishang was seriously ill and unconscious. Liu Bang hurriedly rushed to the Liyang Palace, and saw that the skinny Emperor Taishang had no blood on his face, and he was lying motionless on the couch, as if he only had one breath left. The palace eunuch knelt on the side of the couch and cried, Empress Lu looked at Liu Bang with a solemn face and stood aside alone, and the prince also cried and held the hand of the emperor in front of the couch, saying that the emperor should wake up quickly. Suddenly, Liyang Palace was immersed in a dull atmosphere, and the cry shook the sky.

"The Emperor is not dead, you are welcome to cry and blame me later!" Liu Bang roared angrily, but his eyes were obviously a little red, and the hall was silent all of a sudden. Seeing the situation, Empress Lu hurriedly picked up the crying prince from the emperor's bed, and secretly tugged the prince's sleeve with her right hand, suggesting that the prince stop crying in case Liu Bang was angry.

"Imperial Doctor's Order!" Liu Bang shouted the order of the imperial doctor with red eyes, and the imperial doctor Song immediately knelt on the ground and trembled, "The minister, the minister is here." "Say! How is the emperor? Liu Bang walked in front of Imperial Physician Song, Liu Bang's majesty was like a dark cloud pressing down on Imperial Physician Song who didn't dare to gasp, swallowed dryly and swallowed saliva, "Tai, the Emperor Tai is already high in the Spring and Autumn Period, and last year he had wind paralysis, I'm afraid it will be ...... I'm afraid it's ......," Imperial Doctor Song didn't dare to continue. Liu Bang calmed down and asked calmly, "How much time is left?" "Three or two months at most, at least ......" Imperial Doctor Song lowered his voice, "at least overnight." Liu Bang suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell, but was quickly supported by Lu Hou's eyes, "Take care of the dragon body." Liu Bang waved his hand, kneeling in front of the emperor's couch trembling with a shuffling pace, a painful expression on the old face was not seen by anyone, looking at the old father's vicissitudes and shriveled body, Liu Bang couldn't help but shed tears, grabbed the emperor's hand and rubbed it, and said to the unconscious emperor, "Father, my son has not come to see you from time to time, it is unfilial." Didn't you say you were Songcho alive? Son waiting for you to wake up. Liu Bang's tears fell on the shriveled hands of the Emperor Taishang, but the Emperor Taishang breathed a sigh of 'whew-' as if he had some induction, Liu Bang stood up happily and looked at the old father carefully, the Emperor slowly opened his eyes weakly, his eyes were chaotic, his chapped mouth only moved without making a sound, Liu Bang leaned over and approached the emperor's mouth, but did not hear any words. Liu Bang rubbed the emperor's hand and comforted the old father with a forced smile, "Father, my son still wants to go with you to go hunting on horseback outside Peixian County, do you remember the past?" The Emperor only opened his mouth and couldn't make a sound.

The father-son relationship between the Emperor and the Emperor was so deep that everyone who saw it silently wept. The prince was even more trembling and reluctant to give up the emperor, and Empress Lu comforted the prince with a solemn face.
