At the end of the month, Liu Bang was busy again, and together with Xiao He, he reviewed the 'upper count' books submitted by the counties, and throughout the year, the counties and counties had recovered their economies: agriculture was stable, thieves were reduced, prison lawsuits were not many, and the number of households increased. Xiao He said that the immigrants from the Kanto region have all migrated over, have adapted to the life in the Kannai, and are active in various industries in the Kannai, and after the migration, there are no profit-making homes in the city, and there are no annexed people in Nozawa. Liu Bang was very pleased, and often took Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi and Xiao He out of the palace to inspect the wealthy and famous families of the original Six Kingdoms who came from Kanto, and set aside time to go to Han Xin's mansion once or twice, and returned to the palace sullenly after each conversation with him.

It was only a few days before the October pilgrimage to Changle Palace, and the princes and kings arrived at their respective official residences in Chang'an one after another, and then they all entered the palace again after resting for half a day, and once again 'Xiao See' the emperor, Liu Bang and his happy night drink, although the old face was full of joy, and the heart somehow always felt that the wine he drank was bitter, and his heart was infinitely stunned and stuffy. Recently, Liu Bang stayed in the Yuzao Palace every night and listened to Mrs. Qi crying and wanted to tell him to change the reserve quickly, and one day he couldn't stand the deliberate torture of Empress Lu to her, Liu Bang was bored with it, but after all, he put Mrs. Qi in the first place, annoyed, even if he went to Zhao Zier or Shi Yinhua Palace, after the night, he always thought about how to open his mouth to the ministers to change the reserve, and asked Zhang Liang a few days ago for his views on this matter, which represents the views of the ministers. For this reason, Liu Bang was very annoyed, so he stayed in Yongning Palace and did not want to come out.

In October of the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, Huainan Wang Huang Bu, Liang Wang Peng Yue, Jing Wang Liu Jia, Chu King Liu Jiao, Yan King Lu Xuan, Changsha King Wu Rui, Qi King Liu Fei all entered the Changle Palace to meet Liu Bang, stating the agriculture, industry, commerce, and Yu affairs of various countries during the year, as well as the future development. The ministers in the audience didn't know what it meant, so they didn't dare to be presumptuous, so they made an appointment to drink, enjoy singing, and dance.

After a few days, Liu Bang was bored, so he called Liu Fei, the king of Qi, and Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, to accompany him to Shanglin Yuan for a walk on the horses. Liu Bang rode leisurely on the horse, sighing from time to time but not saying a word. The king of Qi, the king of Chu, drove alongside him, and when he saw the emperor sighing, the king of Qi approached Liu Bang and asked, "What is the matter with my father, the emperor, who laments all the time?" Liu Bang glanced at King Qi and shook his head silently. Walking all the way again, the king of Chu approached Liu Bang and asked, "What is the matter with the death of my brother?" Anu to solve. Hearing only the sound of horses' hooves and Liu Bang's sighs, Liu Bang suddenly said to Liu Jiao, "Even if Brother says it, you won't support me." Liu Jiao and Liu Fei looked at each other, and smiled at Liu Bang, "Brother and nephew come out, do you just say this unfamiliar sentence?" Liu Bang was slightly stunned for a moment and then smiled, "I have a child." Liu Jiao took advantage of the situation and asked," Brother said. ”

Liu Bang dismounted, Liu Jiao and Liu Fei also dismounted, and the three of them tied the reins to the trunk of the tree and walked idle. Liu Bang put his hands behind his back, planned in his abdomen and said, "I want to change the crown prince, Anu help me?" Before the words fell, Liu Jiao and Liu Fei's uncle and nephew were all stunned, unable to move in place, Liu Bang, who had already taken a step ahead of Liu Jiao's Liu Fei uncle and nephew, saw that there was no sound behind him, and turned his head to see that the two of them were stunned. Liu Bang returned to their deep side and stroked their backs, "Why are you stunned?" Help me out. Liu Jiao hurriedly calmed himself, jumped out of a step and bowed deeply to Liu Bang with a straight face and seriousness, "Your Majesty thinks twice." "I just want to change, what should I do? The crown prince is benevolent and weak, I am afraid that he will not be able to control the Han family, I know that Lu Pheasant has a little courage, but I am unwilling to stage the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan to suppress King Zhaoxiang and take power for 20 years, and Lu Pheasant's temperament is better than that of the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan. The second is the deterioration of the relationship between Qi and Lu, if the tomb collapses and the Lu family rises, Qi Ji and King Zhao are not complete. Before Liu Jiao and Liu Fei could speak, Liu Bang hurriedly added, "Qi Ji is gentle and obedient, and she will not persecute the Lu family." Easy to store things, I tossed and turned day and night sleepless, stuffed in the chest more and more uncomfortable, so I asked you two to accompany me, Anu Shi just said to solve for his brother, then what is the solution? ”

Liu Jiao tightened his whole body with a stern expression, and after a little contemplation, he stepped forward and persuaded urgently, "Your Majesty think twice." The crown prince is the foundation of the country and has been established for many years, he is not at fault, and his mother is not at fault, why did Your Majesty abolish the reserve? His Majesty's worries are only that Mrs. Qi and King Zhao can send their mother and son to the feudal state as soon as possible and cut off the connection with Chang'an. Liu Fei next to him agreed with his uncle's words very much, and also arched his hand, "Although Brother Ying is weak but virtuous, the sea has been decided, and the world needs a benevolent lord." ”

"What did I just want to change?" Liu Bang saw that his brother and son disagreed with his ideas, and he became more and more annoyed, so he shook his hand and shouted, "Who is unfamiliar?" I am the founder of the country, will I change my savings for my own selfishness? Do you say that I just like him when I support King Zhao? King Zhao's way of governing the country and loving the people is quite similar to me, someone asked him how to govern the country, he said that both virtue and law are like six bridles in hand, so old and so knowledgeable, not like the style of the emperor? Choosing a gentleman is like knowing the illness of one's own body and the destiny of one's own body, why do you only see a square circle with the rules of the ruler? If the prince becomes stupid and lame at this time, will you also hand over the Jiangshan Sheji to him? I might as well give it to others. After saying that, he was angry, and his face was black, and he was angry with Liu Jiao's uncle and nephew.

Liu Jiao and Liu Fei glanced at each other, Liu Fei wanted to step forward to speak, Liu Jiao stopped him and replaced him with himself and came to Liu Bang alone and gave up his iron attitude, "Standing up is righteous, and my brother can't disobey it." In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many monarchs established a few monarchs, which led to civil strife for several years, all because it violated this rule, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice. ”

"The world's opinions, the people's opinions!" Liu Bang was unhappy but found that his hands were trembling, and the people closest to him did not support him, Liu Bang originally felt that he would be relaxed and happy when he said the stuffy things in his heart, but he added another block, and said angrily, "I know that I can't wait for you to talk about it." Then he threw off his sleeves and went away indignantly. Liu Jiao and Liu Fei looked at each other, and followed Liu Bang back.

As soon as he returned to the Yuzao Palace, he followed up with a panicked eunuch on his hind feet, and when he came in, his face trembled and reported, "It's too ...... Prince, the prince pushed King Zhao into the canal......" Liu Bang stood up angrily, pointed at the eunuch and shouted, "You dare to talk nonsense? "The servant does not dare, but the servant sees it with his own eyes." The eunuch replied with the audacity. Qi Ji had already started crying, "In this way, let's go to the West, and my mother will go with you." "It shouldn't be." Liu Bang thought in his stomach that the prince would not do anything to hurt Ruyi, so he calmed down, "Lead the way, take a look." With that, he hurried out of the temple and ran away to the canal. When he arrived at the ditch, the wet prince was lying on the ground and rescuing Ruyi's chest, and there was water flowing out of Ruyi's mouth but he still didn't wake up. Liu Bang stepped over and lay on the ground and shouted Ruyi, "The child wakes up, the child wakes up, ......" Seeing that he was unconscious, Liu Bang angrily pushed the prince away for a long time, and the prince was pushed to the ground without preparation, and Liu Bang, who had already picked up Ruyi, squinted his eyes and said to the prince, "You brute!" Go back to the Prince's Palace! After putting down the cruel words, he returned to Qi Ji Palace with Ruyi, and the prince who fell to the ground had red eyes and was shocked for a long time.

Qi Ji saw that Liu Bang was holding Ruyi in his arms for a long time and did not wake up, so he was in a hurry and hurriedly passed on the imperial doctor, Liu Bang turned his head and said, "Sensei, I have gone to call." Quickly put Ruyi on the couch and covered the quilt, Liu Bang personally changed his clothes for him, rubbed his body for him, and only called one sentence, "Ruyi child wake up." Then he had nothing to say, but the blame for the prince in his heart deepened step by step, and he suddenly transferred the blame for the prince to his face flushed with anger, and no one dared to talk to the emperor. Qi Ji came in a panic and knelt in front of the couch holding Ruyi's cold hand and wept, "Who thought that your brother was kind and friendly, and actually pushed you into the ditch?" In vain, you follow the prince and call him his brother innocently, but you don't know that his heart is like a donkey. If you don't wake up, your mother won't live. Liu Bang just rubbed Ruyi's calves and ignored Qi Ji's words, and said with a gloomy face for a while, "Is the prince here to call Ruyi?" Qi Ji said while crying, "Ruyi loves to run around, and sneaks out while I'm not prepared, how does the concubine know who is called?" Liu Bang called the eunuch just now before he spoke, and asked about the cause and effect of the incident, and the eunuch only said that he saw the prince with his own eyes and pushed King Zhao into the canal while King Zhao was not paying attention. Liu Bang was quite puzzled about this matter, seeing that the prince was gentle and elegant on weekdays, would he do this?

After seeing Ruyi, he said that there was no big problem, but he drank a few more sips of cold water, and after resting for a few days, he was fine, and the doctor prescribed some medicine and left.

The next day, the prince came to the court and told the queen about yesterday's Ruyi falling into the water, and the queen got up from the mat in shock, and asked in horror, "Why did you push him?" The prince hurriedly said that it was not himself, but he felt that a pair of hands behind him pushed him violently, and he accidentally bumped Ruyi into the ditch when he hit Ruyi. Empress Lu looked flustered, secretly thought about it for a long time, and muttered, "Qi Yi did it? Empress Lu was not sure, but daring to blame the prince in broad daylight had already caused Empress Lu to break out in a cold sweat, and she didn't know what the emperor thought. Empress Lu forced her composure and said to the prince, "I will explain to you, the queen mother is here, don't worry." The prince's face was panicked, he took a step back and bowed his head and said, "Son, don't dare." After thinking about it, the prince must have been afraid that Liu Bang would say this, so he pulled the prince's wrist and said firmly, "Your father scolded you?" The prince was silent and bowed his head. Empress Lu let go of the prince's wrist again, and said disdainfully, "It's okay if you don't go, his heart is in Xiao'er, so what if he goes?" Lu Hou sat on the mat again and pretended to read a book, with a leisurely expression. The prince was uneasy, pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, "Why don't you give up the position of the prince to Brother Ruyi......" "You are talking nonsense!" Empress Lu slammed the bamboo slip to the threshold, slapped the case and said angrily, "Even if I die, I won't let Qi Ji get her wish." Push him, what are you afraid of? Unless Liu Bang retires his wife Lu Pheasant, Qi Ji is delusional! The prince didn't dare to speak, and after saying goodbye to Lu, he returned to the prince's palace sullenly.
