Chapter 10: The Feeling of Extraneous Words
Seeing that Xiao He loves the people so much, Liu Bang has seen it, he has never doubted Xiao He's ability to govern the country, seeing that he is so loyal and resolute to defend his dynasty surnamed Liu, and govern the country better and better, the prime minister and the people are fighting hotly, so that Liu Bang, as the emperor, always has a trace of hidden worries in his heart, and in addition to that, envy and jealousy. Liu Bang really knows that his ability to cooperate with the people is still a little worse. Before leaving, he told the palace people not to prepare meals, and said that they would eat at the people's homes, and saw that everyone was busy and busy, so it was not easy to disturb, so he had to take the baby Fan Xue and them back to the palace.
Walking all the way, Fan Xu told Liu Bang about the border of Daiguo, he said that he never went to Daiguo after he came back when he was in October when he was in the middle of the wine, only Chen Xi was in charge there, and I don't know if General Chen Xi can handle it. Since he left, I don't know if the Huns have come to harass, after the Han and Hun marriages, they may not dare to invade the Han border immediately, the white sheep and Lou Fu Guo in Henan submitted to the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu are likely to instruct them to disturb the Han border, the Xiongnu have always been untrustworthy. Chen Xi did not send someone to Chang'an to report the border of Daiguo, but Fan Xu knew that the Zhao Dynasty was unstable, and the pacification of the people was not the best. Some people grazing cattle and sheep do not dare to go to the far place where the grassland is fat, and they often involuntarily follow the cattle and sheep to run and be caught by the Huns or Lou annoying people and have no news. didn't see Liu Bang's expression, but saw Fan Xu's sad face, frowning and silent.
Liu Bang didn't seem to be bothered much about this matter, stroked his back and said with a smile, "Don't worry about Tuzi, it's okay to represent the country, Chen Xi is my confidant, with the talent of a commander, and he has fought more than 100 battles with me in the southern and northern expeditions, and knows his talent very well." As for the Xiongnu, they should not harass the border of the Dynasty, our dynasty has already married him, no matter how arrogant he is, he will not offend our dynasty as soon as he marries. Henan's Aries and Lou annoyed to see the Huns doing things, and they would never dare to act rashly. General Chen Xi should be able to cope with it alone in Daidi, and Tu Zi will stay in the pass for the time being and wait and see what happens. And the county guard of Yanmen County in the west of the country is General Wang Su, and Chen Xi can take care of each other with him. ”
Fan Hao listened to Liu Bang's words, and his heart was a little more relaxed, and the sword on his waist accompanied Liu Bang to the right.
Liu Bang smiled but frowned, and sighed with both hands into the sleeves of his wide robe. Thinking about it, he was worried about Guan Xiuyan's affairs, he died, whether Yanmen County needed to send another county, Liu Bang was considering. Guan Xiuyan's death, except for himself and the queen, no one in the rest of the Guanzhong has heard of it. After a long time, he asked casually tentatively, "Uh——, what do you think about Xiuyan going to Yanmen?" First of all, he turned to the baby beside him, and after thinking about it calmly, he said seriously, "To be honest, I really don't think about Guan Xiuyan." ”
Liu Bang was stunned, his eyes lit up, he looked at the baby, and then smiled and told him to finish. Fan Xu also said, "The minister is not familiar with him and doesn't know him well, so I would like to hear the Hou Ye talk about it in detail." ”
"He has no real talent and learning, and his life is extremely luxurious, and he does not know the poverty of the people, even when he arrives in Yanmen, the minister thinks that he will not handle the affairs of Yanmen County, and will add a lot of trouble to General Wang Su. With his character, the ministers are afraid that he will gather his henchmen to overthrow the king and absorb the general, not that he is in nature but that he is not wise enough, afraid that some villains will slander him, and he is afraid that he will listen to the ministers and dominate the party from then on. Said the baby.
Liu Bang smiled bitterly and took a step ahead, leaving a sentence that made Fan Hao and Guan Ying unbelievable, "If only he could do evil." After hearing this, Guan Ying and Fan Xu looked at each other, not knowing what the emperor meant by this. Thinking that he had said the wrong thing, he caught up with him and cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, did the minister say the wrong thing?" ”
Liu Bang frowned dumbly, just afraid of missing a quarrel, and hurriedly said, "No, General Guan Ying's words are true, hehe." After saying that, he smiled, and walked forward one step ahead.
Guan Ying and Fan Xu looked at each other in a daze and confusion, Fan Xu patted his head twice and smiled at Guan Ying, "The general doesn't want to look at Fan Xu, I can't guess Brother Bang." The baby swallowed dryly, and the saliva stiffened, and he smiled.
The palace was approaching, Liu Bang left aside the baby and Fan Hao and pulled a eunuch away, and asked the eunuch how the concubines in the harem were doing, and the eunuch only said that the queen mother was in the world, and the harem was as peaceful as a mirror. He also asked Mrs. Guan of Linhua Hall what she was doing, and the eunuch said that Mrs. Guan often went to Zhao Meiren to sit there, and after returning to the palace, she made children's clothes. Liu Bang 'hmm, and ordered the eunuch to call Xiahou Ying to drive back to the palace, and Fan Hao sat with Liu Bang. Thinking that Guan Ying was about to go to Longxi to inspect the people's situation, Liu Bang said that he was going to visit in person, so he set it for tomorrow, and asked Xiahou Ying to feed the horses tonight, and asked Fan Hao to wait in Weiyang Palace tomorrow. As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Hao kept silent, his face was embarrassed, Liu Bang patted his arm and asked him what was going on in his heart, Fan Hao said that the child in the family had been sick for many days and was very worried. Liu Bang frowned and said 'oh', stroked his back and comforted, "The prince and the prince don't have to worry, after returning to the palace, I will send the imperial doctor out of the palace to take a look at Fan Yan." Fan Hao was a big man, but at this time, his eyes were red like a woman, and he thanked Liu Bang.
The car stopped in front of Weiyang Palace, and Liu Bang asked Xiahou Ying to pull the car back to wash it well. After a short pause, I went to the Fish Algae Palace. Just a few steps away, found that Fan Hao and Guan Ying were still following him, Liu Bang smiled and waved them down, he was going to the inner palace not to the front hall to deal with government affairs. Comprehending Liu Bang's meaning, Guan Ying and Fan Xuli bowed their hands to make amends and then went down with a farewell ceremony.
Waving his hand to call the two eunuchs to pass the Song Imperial Doctor out of the palace to the Wuyang Marquis Mansion to see the illness for Fan Yan, he brushed his sleeves and went to the Yuzao Palace, just entered the Yuzao Palace and felt that today was very deserted, and when he entered the main hall, he found that in addition to a few maids and eunuchs, he did not see Mrs. Qi and his son Liu Ruyi at all, nor did he see Jing Ting, but he Xiuyue was busy making brocade for her. Zhen'er had just come out of the inner hall, holding the tea made from pottery in her hand, and the curling fragrance of tea hit her nose, and she was very drunk. Seeing Liu Bang coming, he put the tea on the case and hurriedly saluted. Liu Bang waved his hand, looked at the tea on several cases, took a deep breath as if he first closed his eyes and enjoyed, and asked, "It came from Shennong, and it was smelled by Lu Zhougong." Is it the Bashu tea brought back by the trial base? ”
Zhen'er saw that Liu Bang's eyes had been staring at the tea on several cases, and hurriedly replied, "Yes, the queen mother sent some Bashu tea a few days ago, saying that it was very delicious, and Mrs. Qi said to brew it first, and then drink it when you come back." Does the emperor want to drink it? Jen'er pours you tea. ”
Liu Bang nodded, walked over and sat on a mat, grabbed a roll of bamboo slips on the case and browsed it, and said while reading, "Where did Madame go?" What about Ruyi? Zhen'er said while pouring tea, "Mrs. Qi went to Linhua Hall to visit Mrs. Guan, and ...... on behalf of His Royal Highness the King" But he didn't say anything about it, and put the tea respectfully on several cases with both hands, "The emperor drinks tea." ”
"Won't you go to practice Liu Heng again?" Liu Bang held the slip in one hand and drank the tea in the other. Seeing that Zhen'er was not easy to talk about, knowing that Ruyi was not obedient, she must have heard that Mrs. Qi went to Linhua Palace, and took advantage of this kung fu to hurry outside to play.
Zhen'er almost laughed out loud, and quickly held back her laughter and blushed and bowed her head and replied, "The acting king called a few palace maids and eunuchs to play by the nullah, and the slave was afraid that Mrs. Qi would find him not in the palace to study after she came back, and the slave and maid asked to accompany him, but the acting king refused to take the slave and maid, and said that if he dared to follow, he would punish the slave and the maid, and the slave and maid would be ......" Zhen'er glanced at Liu Bang and buried her head and blushed and muttered quietly, "I also want the slave and maid to walk around the Yuzao Palace shirtless." "It's already red to the base of my ears, and it's getting more and more silent.
Xiuyue and Yun He, who were weaving brocade on the side, couldn't help it, and almost pricked the needle into their hands with a 'poof', covering their mouths and desperately holding back their smiles. The two of them glanced at each other, buried their heads and continued to work.
Liu Bang seemed calm, it was not strange that such words came out of Liu Ruyi's mouth, but he smiled and continued to drink tea.
"Only the infinity of heaven and earth, the long-term diligence of life...... Desert and quiet are self-satisfied with tranquility and pleasure, and inaction. Liu Bang read the bamboo slip in his hand, and his eyes lit up and he laughed, "How does Madame read Qu Yuan's things?" I said that she can only read the Book of Songs. Put the bamboo slip on the case, look at the outside of the palace, I like the quiet autumn colors, look at the solemnity of the red building, and stretch my hands into the deep sleeves and lean on the desk to indulge in the tranquility of the moment.
