Changxin Palace, Changqiu Palace.

Liu Bang rested in a chic Changqiu Hall not far from Empress Lu, which was also crowded with people serving him.

Liu Bang stood on the ground and let the eunuch palace maid take care of him.

"Please raise your hand." A housekeeper softly instructed Liu Bang and brought him a beautiful dragon robe, which was a typical crown dress with a top and a bottom. The dragon robe is also two main colors, namely black and red, and the dragon texture is also the same as the golden phoenix texture worn by Lu Hou, one on each arm cuff, one on the front chest and one on the back, and the same as the golden phoenix from the east, west, north and south four directions of Liu Bang, as if there is the intention of dominating the four dragons, and the meaning of ruling the four seas. Those who are familiar with the road are worn on the body, or the collar, the right side, and the waist, with a golden belt hook, the belt hook is also in the shape of a dragon, and the dragon's mouth is wide open as if it swallows the sky.

The waist is tied with a scarf, the upper part is a curved curved bend, the lower part is connected with a small bi, there are dragon-shaped punching teeth next to it, pearls are embellished, and the lower part is decorated with colorful spikes.

A waiter brought a crown, the crown is black, that is, commonly known as the 'Pingtian crown', seven inches wide, one foot two inches long, round in front and behind, four inches in front and three inches in the back, and twelve white jade beads. There is a hole on each side of the crown to intersperse the jade flute, which is interspersed with the bun to tie the knot. There is a pearl on each side of the flute near the ear, and the ribbon tied on both sides of the flute is tied along the cheek to the chin. Liu Bang, who was neatly dressed, really looked like a saint king at this time.

Liu Bang looked at the dragon pattern on his left and right arms, then looked at the scarf worn on his waist, and then looked at the dragon flying into his arms, and said the word 'good' with joy, and the jade beads in front of him were placed one after the other by him.

"The minions wish the emperor a long and happy future." Several minions who were busy working for Liu Bang immediately knelt on the ground, and their voices were so uneven to compliment him.

"Forever?" Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, then stroked his beard and laughed, "Okay, good, big prize, big reward." ”

"Thank you for the emperor's reward."

After a while, with the efforts of everyone, Liu Bang finally put on a dragon robe and was welcomed out of the palace in good spirits.

Outside the palace, Taichang's uncle Sun Tong was already kneeling on the cold ground, waiting for Liu Bang to go to the southern suburbs to worship the sky. Liu Bang helped him up and asked his uncle and grandson to follow him so that he could guide his words and deeds at any time. Xiahou Ying, Marquis of Fenyin, accompanied Liu Bang to worship the heavens with a horse, and then went directly to Weiyang Palace.

Along the way of Changle Palace, Liu Bang lifted the curtains, watched the changes in the palace, cleaned the road, carried flags all over the field, and the flag horns were half rolled high in the wind, and each intersection was guarded by heavy guards. Each soldier is tall with a halberd, his face is full of the pride of a soldier, under the glorious blue sky, these soldiers are standing guard for him Liu Bang, and they are guarding for him Liu Hanjiangshan.

Liu Bang looked at it with admiration, and couldn't help clapping his soldiers with his hands.

Wherever Liu Bangluan passed, everyone knelt down, and the mountain shouted, 'His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has been happy for thousands of years', over and over again, louder than ever. The scene was very grand, which made people's hearts surge, and Liu Bang was even more excited.

Liu Bang waved to them with both hands slightly, asking them to flatten and help them up, and to have fun with them.

On the way through the arsenal, Liu Bang saw that so many princes and kings had entered the Weiyang Palace one after another.

Walking slowly, Liu Bang, who had a sense of the past in the chariot, suddenly remembered his father, the Emperor Liu Taigong.

"Did the Emperor arrange for someone to invite you?" Liu Bang lifted the curtain and turned his head to ask the attendants accompanying him.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to invite you." An unknown housekeeper said.

"Who arranged to invite the Emperor?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's General Fan Xu."

When Liu Bang heard that it was the big old man who was even his brother-in-law Fan Xu, he smiled, "I won't think it's him, Fan Xu, he actually went to Liyang Palace to invite the emperor, don't lose my father, this big old man." ”

Shusun Tong also laughed, and answered, "Although General Fan is a rough man, he should be thick and fine." ”

Liu Bang nodded with satisfaction and galloped towards the southern suburbs.

Inside the Weiyang Palace.

All the princes and kings stayed in the Weiyang Palace with a smile and began to admire the decorations in the palace. Exquisite jade, square tripod, exquisite silk paintings, rows of bright candles swaying, illuminating the floor of the hall, every dozen meters is a step, as if the civil and military officials are divided into three, six, nine and so on. The most solemn thing is the golden dragon couch built by the hand-made, it is two or three meters high from the ground, the steps up the steps are covered with the red carpet, the dragon couch at the end of the red carpet, there are dragons on both sides, the dragon body is coiled, the dragon's mouth is wide open, and it seems to show the trend of swallowing the sky.

Wave after wave of girls came to Weiyang Palace with the delicacies made by the cooks, and the fragrance was overflowing, tempting many princes and ministers.

The princes were intoxicated by the perfect arrangement of the Weiyang Palace, some of the ministers formed a deep friendship during the Chu and Han dynasties, since Liu Bang entered the capital Guanzhong, he went to the fief to wait for the king, and did not see each other for a few years.

"King of Chu, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay in Chu State? I heard that the state of Chu is the first country to pay the most tribute to the Han family this year. "The king of Liang, Peng Yue, was far away from afar, and Liu Jiaoyao, the king of Chu, smiled and asked about the recent situation of the king of Chu.

"King Liang has won the award, this is a matter within Liu Jiao's share, isn't King Liang the same? I heard that Liang Guo's silk weaving industry has developed well in recent years. The two walked to the atrium and exchanged courtesies again.

Peng Yue smiled and pulled him over, "Let's go, let's talk about it." ”

When the two of them, Liu Jiaoliang, and Peng Yue, the kings of Chu, met and couldn't wait to step aside and chat.

Zhou Bo and Guan Ying followed in, and as soon as they stepped into one foot, they heard someone greet them, "General Zhou, General Guan, don't come to be harmed, the two generals have been guarding Chang'an for a long time, and they are really an example for the younger brother." ”

"If the Hou Ye also wants to guard Chang'an, General Zhou and I can say a few good words to His Majesty the Emperor for the Hou Ye." Guan Ying saw that it was Guangping Hou Zhaoou, so he also joked with him, and then Guan Jiang and the two of them also fought each other with Zhaoou.

"Hehe, General Zhou smiled. Am I that kind of talent? The safety of Chang'an still depends on the two. Zhao Ou said, "By the way, I heard that the two generals led the people to repair the Wei embankment, and their prestige has not diminished." Immediately, Zhao Ou hurried to the two of them and exchanged pleasantries with them, and several people looked at each other and laughed.

At this time, Liu Fei, the king of Qi, and Cao Shen, the prime minister of Qi, came in from outside, and the two greeted their colleagues with a smile when they entered the door.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't come unharmed, today is a day of celebration, may we rejoice together." Liu Fei put one hand on his chest, and greeted everyone naturally behind his back with the other. When some people saw the situation, they gathered around to greet each other. Cao Shen nodded with a smile to convey his heart, and when he saw a group of people surrounding Xiao He, he suddenly looked gloomy and unhappy, and when he saw Xiao He, he reminded him of the first hero that Liu Bang was going to reward at that time. He didn't look away at Xiao He, at this time Xiao He also saw Cao Shen, Cao Shen Xiao He deliberately turned his face away after Xiao He's short eye contact, Xiao He saw that Cao Shen still blamed himself for what happened back then, he felt quite lost, and after glancing at Cao Shen, he talked to others again, leaving him alone.

"General Cao, no, it should be called Cao Xiangguo now, why did Lord Xiangguo and King Qi come to Beijing?" Fu Kuan, Marquis of Yangling, saw that he was displeased, and asked.

"Worshipping Weiyang is a grand event in recent years, the overall worship is not easy, Cao also wants to see this magnificent momentum, King Mengqi is kind to allow Cao to accompany him, but he will go back the day after tomorrow." Cao, who was still unhappy, saw his old friend Fu Kuan, and his mood finally reversed.

At this time, outside the palace came into the room of Liuhou Zhangzi, still looking like Shi Zhu, looking like a woman, holding a banana fan, but also full of interest. The ministers sighed, and looked at the former military advisor in unison, still looking weak, and seemed to have a fairy-like temperament, and moved in to greet the ministers.

"Strategist, have you seen Chi Songzi and the immortals?" I don't know which minister asked so abruptly and slightly playfully.

Everyone laughed and gathered over to Zhang Liang's side. Zhang Liang smiled, followed the prestige, and did not find the person who said this, with the demeanor of an elder, said, "Ministers, today is a day of national celebration, so don't discuss Zhang Liang here." ”

"Please stay." Xiao He crossed the crowd, came to Zhang Liang, made a gesture with Zhang Liang, invited Zhang Liang to the atrium, and the two chatted.

Just when the ministers were chatting and laughing, another person came in from outside the door, and this person had not been to the court for a long time like Zhang Liang, but the two of them had different discussions behind them. Zhang Liang did not go to the court because Emperor Gaozu allowed, but he did not go to the court but he had the intention of passively confronting the court, if it were not for this grand banquet of wine and wine, he would never come, just this time, it was also prepared to ask for sick leave, but Liu Bang issued an edict to die: Weiyang feast, the whole world celebrates, and the princes of the feudal country must go to the banquet in time for whatever reason, otherwise they will be punished for the crime of despising the Han Dynasty, despising the imperial power, and despising the Son of Heaven.

All the princes looked at this man in unison.
