In the early morning of spring, the ministers were talking about the spring planting of the counties and counties, Liu Bang only supported his head as if he was depressed and muffled 'um' to be approved, and there were few objections in the morning, and the ministers had nothing else in the morning except for hearing a number of 'um' words that the emperor was not happy or angry, and the ministers saw that the emperor's thoughts on the couch were as if they were not in the court at all, and they were all inexplicable, and finally Xiao He also watched the other ministers stop playing. Hundreds of civil and military officers first looked at each other, stared directly at the emperor who was stunned and sighed on the couch, and then there was no sound, and they all bowed their heads and waited for the emperor's order to 'wake up'. Xiao He glanced at Chen Ping, Chen Ping only shook his head purely and lowered his head leisurely. Xiao He pondered for a long time before he came out of class and waved his hand at Liu Bang, "Is Your Majesty a dragon body disobedient?" Why don't you ask the doctor to take a closer look. ”

"That's it." Liu Bang got up and said to Xiao He with his whole clothes, "The size of the court is from the prime minister for the time being, and there is no major event to quarrel with me." After saying that, he flicked the wide robe and deep sleeves, and went to the Xuanshu Hall without hurrying or displease.

Liu Bang sat alone in the Xuanshu Hall for half an hour without moving, the light of the western slanting sun shone on the old and melancholy face, and there was no trace of vitality in a pair of old eyes, but it was empty and deep to reflect a faint melancholy, which made him squeeze out three more deep folds at the center of his eyebrows. Remembering that when he met with Empress Lu in Shanglin Yuan a few days ago, Empress Lu did not have a trace of resentment on the surface, and when the four of them came forward to salute, Liu Bang deliberately looked at Empress Lu's attitude towards Qi Ji, and Empress Lu's flower-like smile concealed murderous intent and jealousy. Remembering the slap that Ruyi was vented by Empress Lu for breaking the jar before, Empress Lu's dissatisfaction with Qi Ji and Ruyi made Liu Bang feel more and more worried, Liu Bang knew that Empress Lu was as resolute as a man, especially in Chu Ying to hone his character, and became more and more decisive and decisive to love and hate, when he thought of this, Liu Bang felt unbearable chest tightness. "Whew-" Suddenly, Liu Bangchang took a breath and looked at the courtyard and sang generously, "Dove, can you feed the magpie chicks?" doves and doves, no food and other chicks; Doves and doves, divided into one place...... "Although the song is high and hides sadness, although it is bright and worried." After singing, Liu Bang's old eyes became even more cloudy. This poem refers to the cuckoo, Liu Bang read this poem is that the cuckoo can not tolerate the magpie and its chicks, implying that Empress Lu can not tolerate Qi Ji's mother and son, and is deeply worried about it. After singing, the female eunuchs in the palace all bowed their heads and followed the emperor to worry.

Zhao Yao, the imperial history of Fu Xi, who was quietly waiting on the side, all looked at the emperor's words and deep sorrowful sighs in his eyes, although he did not say a word to the emperor for the time being, he had already secretly planned in his belly. Zhao Yao knows Liu Bang's mind very well, he has followed Liu Bang for many years and is in charge of Liu Bang's various seals, knows many things on the emperor's mind, every time the emperor is sad and lamenting, Zhao Yao will be more or less observant of Liu Bang's ideas, in Luoyang gathered celebrities from nearby counties and counties, and privately inspired the emperor's mind to them, so that people continue to speak for King Zhao. Zhao Yao's position is under the imperial historian Zhou Chang, Zhou Changsu despises Zhao Yao but is just one of his subordinate officials, Zhao Yao knows that although Zhou Chang is upright and serious but has no plan, his person is like a pool of shallow water at a glance, Zhao Yao thinks that if he bends the Yangtze River, Zhao Yao has never liked Zhou Chang's serious jurisdiction, and the position of the imperial history is one of the three princes, mainly supervising the national officials, it can be said that the life and death of the national officials are in the hands of one person, it is really a fat job. Zhao Yao carefully circled his abdomen and watched the palace maids and eunuchs serving on both sides, only himself and the emperor. Zhao Yao cautiously looked around the hall again, made sure that there was no one, walked in front of Liu Bang, waved his hand at him, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty's worry is because King Zhao is young and Mrs. Qi has a disagreement with Empress Lu?" Is it for His Majesty a hundred years later, and neither King Zhao nor Mrs. Qi can be self-satisfied? ”

As soon as Liu Bang heard Zhao Yao's words, he immediately sat down and looked at Zhao Yao carefully, knowing that he was the imperial history of Fu Xi, but he didn't know that he had the skill of observing words and emotions and guessed his heart, and then thinking of what Zhao Yao tried his best to do for himself and King Zhao when he was in Luoyang, Liu Bang was quite surprised, and suddenly realized that he had ignored this person before. Liu Bang was slightly stunned at the table for a long time before he nodded in frustration, "Yes, I am indeed deeply worried about this, but there is no solution." Zhao Yao's heart was overjoyed, so he immediately found the right time to take another step forward, and arched his hand, "The servant has a plan, I don't know if it's okay." Liu Bang suddenly heard this, and when he had time to be happy in the future, he looked at Zhao Yao and urged, "Speak quickly." Liu Bang beckoned him to sit on the mat opposite him, Zhao Yao thanked him and sat down respectfully on the mat opposite Liu Bang, Liu Bang leaned forward and looked eager. Zhao Yao said, "Your Majesty should send a person with noble status and strong ability to be the Prime Minister of Zhao, and this person needs to be respected by Empress Lu, the crown prince and the ministers." Liu Bang was silent for a while and nodded again, "Yes, I think it should be like this in private, who can be in charge of the court?" Zhao Yao said solemnly as if he were playing a court affair, "The imperial historian Zhou Chang, his person is tenacious and upright, since Empress Lu, the prince and the ministers have always respected him, and he can't be appointed if he is not the Duke of Zhou." Liu Bang was silent for a long time and frowned, and carefully reviewed Zhou Chang and his people in his heart, Zhou Chang made himself unable to get off the stage several times, and Liu Bang himself was also jealous of Zhou Chang, so he felt that Zhao Wangxiang really had to be Zhou Chang, so he was overjoyed, "Qingyan is very good." ”

A day later, Liu Bang summoned Zhou Chang but was silent for a long time. Zhou Chang was in a hurry, and saw that the emperor was standing next to the bronze crane and sighed and did not say a word to himself, Zhou Chang didn't know what Liu Bang wanted to do but waited too long, so he walked behind Liu Bang and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty is calling your ministers?" "Alas-" Liu Bang sighed, turned to look at Zhou Chang and grabbed Zhou Chang's left hand and said, "I have something to bother Zhou Gong, and Zhou Gong has to deal with it no matter what." Zhou Chang looked inexplicable, and hurriedly asked, "What did Your Majesty ask the ministers?" "I want to make Duke Zhou the prime minister of Zhao, so I don't have to worry about it." When Zhou Chang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly knelt down and cried to Liu Bang, "What did the minister do that caused His Majesty to be disgusted and abandoned? In the past, when His Majesty first raised his army, the ministers followed His Majesty and did not leave the left and right, but why did His Majesty abandon the ministers in the vassal states in the middle way? Zhou Chang was like a woman crying. Liu Bang is a big man, but there is also a red light in his eyes, thinking that Zhou Chang and Zhou Ke's brothers have followed him since he Liu Bang first started the army, Zhou Ke even died for him to defend the city, in order to alleviate the guilt in his heart, Liu Bang promoted Zhou Chang to replace his brother Zhou Ke as the imperial doctor. Liu Banghong picked up the upright Zhou Chang with his eyes, stroked his back, and ashamedly stated the reason for his arrangement, "Zhou Gong is upright and upright, and there is nothing wrong with him." For the matter of Zhao Wangxiang, I know that it is a left move, but I am worried about the child Zhao Wang, Zhou Gong must know the suspicion of Qi and Lu, recently I am often ashamed of the queen's actions, and I will definitely provoke the queen to move Qi Ji angrily, if I am a hundred years later, Qi Ji and Xiao'er Ruyi can not be self-satisfied, and I am uneasy under Jiuquan. Thinking that none of the ministers in the court is comparable to Duke Zhou, may Duke Zhou be reluctant to make it difficult. As soon as the words fell, Liu Bang took a step back and bowed deeply to Zhou Chang, so frightened that Zhou Chang didn't have time to respond and stepped forward to help Liu Bang up, Liu Bang attached a pair of old hands to Zhou Chang's hand and pressed it deeply, and suddenly the monarch and the ministers looked at each other with tears, and Zhou Chang was even more cat bent down and lowered his head, as if he felt severe pain in his heart.

"The minister is sure to protect King Zhao, Your Majesty can rest assured." Zhou Chang, who was in tears, bowed deeply to Liu Bang and accepted the order. Liu Bangqiang smiled and helped Zhou Chang up, and lightly hammered him three times on his chest as a request from the monarch and ministers. Suddenly, Zhou Chang's eyes lit up, and the original weeping face had already been replaced by an eager and solemn question, "Will the minister go to Zhao State, and the King of Zhao will also go with the minister?" Liu Bang was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Naturally, follow Qing to Zhao." Zhou Chang didn't feel relaxed but became more puzzled, and asked Liu Bang, "Your Majesty...... Let the king of Zhao go to Zhao, can the minister understand that His Majesty can't depose the prince? Liu Bang was dumbfounded, his eyes dodged a little and then moved to the atrium, and he smiled for a long time before he smiled, "There is no King Zhao in Guanzhong, who am I deposing the prince?" He sent Qing to Zhao Zi to prevent the safety of King Zhao after a hundred years. Zhou Chang was overjoyed when he heard this, and felt that the crown prince was guaranteed to ensure the stability of the country, and he protected King Zhao for the emperor, weakening the suspicion of Qi and Lu.
