There is not much to see in February. When we first enter March, we already feel the warmth of spring. Chang'an City has been baptized by the cold winter and snow, and it is more beautiful. The migration team in the eastern part of the country is still going on, Xiao He settled in the Bailuyuan area, and then listened to the instructions of the emperor Liu Bang to settle in Longxi County, these people quickly mingled with the local Chang'an people, of course, the people of Chang'an are more fierce, but these big clans in the six countries of the Kanto region inherited the wisdom of the ancestors and integrated into the local life well. In these days of March, Emperor Gao Liu Bang often led his ministers to inspect the water conservancy facilities in the area of Weishui, Jingshui and Luoshui. Several important small irrigation canals were rebuilt near Jingshui and Luoshui, echoing the Zhengguo Canal downstream, and the people were fully utilized in the spring.

The weather is gradually warming, the spring breeze blows the swallows, and the swallows are busy building nests; The willow trees on both sides of the official road outside Chang'an City have green buds, and the catkins are flying because of the wind; There are also unknown wildflowers vying to emerge to look at the beautiful Chang'an City, and the breeze blows it and nods and bends over, so it is fresh and lovely; The thawing water rattles and streams, as if the sound of the water is about to wake up the sleeping earth.

Outside the city, there were already idle people wandering in the green, occasionally whispering, only to see the whisperers laughing happily. On the green moss in the distance, the children took paper kites and flew them, saying that these paper kites were invented by Han Xin when they were used in the military, and people changed them a little to become what they are today. The children's crisp bell-like laughter reminds people of their own childhood. The old people sat on the side of the platform, leaning against each other, seeing the innocent smiling faces of the children on their faces deep in the ravine, and huddled together even more after hearing the children scream grandparents. In the fields in the distance, dozens of people wore sweat towels around their necks and rolled up their sleeves, holding rakes or loosening soil or sowing seeds, facing a round of red sun, happily facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and suddenly sweating lightly. From time to time, a woman brings water and food to her husband, picks up a sweat towel to wipe her sweat for her husband, and the woman pours tea and water for her husband. The 100 acres of fertile fields are filled with the joy of the farmers. The high warm sun slanted on, shining on the faces of the people, people looked up at it, all smiled and bent their eyes, stretched out their hands to caress the sun, but the sun joked with her, disappeared, instantly black clouds, suddenly it rained in the spring rain, suddenly ran away from the farmers who were farming, ran down the children with paper kites, and walked down the old man sitting on the platform. But the west pond on the edge of the field was happy, with the rain scattering girls, the ducks in the pond quacked happily, and the chickens under the stones chirped in fright.

Spring is coming, everything is beautiful, and the sunshine of spring is just bright and lovely. After the first spring rain, this officially ushered in spring. On March 5, men, women and children of Chang'an gathered by the water to pray for blessings. Purification, fasting and bathing and other methods to remove disasters and seek blessings. Purification is a ritual held by people at the water's edge in spring and autumn to pray for blessings. The palace also held a purification, led by the emperor, the queen led the concubines to gather on the edge of the nullah to hold a relatively grand purification ceremony.

After the ceremony, Liu Bang went to the front hall, and when he saw that there was no music in front of the case, he came out again, and his head drooped behind his hands as if he was unhappy. Since Zhang Ao's past, Liu Bang is not very happy day by day, standing in front of the window from time to time sighing, although Zhang Ao has not participated in the assassination, but the assassination of the emperor by the protector of Guangao has always made Liu Bang have palpitations, thinking that all the princes are afraid that they are all on guard, a centrifugal force to the center of the Han family, and the loyalty to the emperor is not very enthusiastic, in recent years, there are princes and kings who rebelled, Yan Wang Zang Di Han Wang Xin are all examples, Huaiyin Marquis has complaints, Zhang Ao is now deposed, Liu Bang's treatment of the princes and kings has caused slight fluctuations. Liu Bang felt a lot of palpitations in his heart, and he always thought about how to handle the relationship between the central government and the princes and kings well. The emperor was bored, and Mrs. Qi cried again and night, saying that she was afraid that the queen would think that King Zhao's matter was her own in front of the emperor, and Liu Bang was sandwiched between the queen and Qi Ji day and day, feeling very annoyed. Qi Ji took advantage of the situation and said, "Now that the queen's virtuous son-in-law has been abolished, and His Majesty sleeps in the concubine's inner palace night and night, she will definitely think that it is the concubine's fault, and after Your Majesty has been a hundred years, the concubine is afraid that she will not escape the queen's hands." ”

Liu Bang was upset when he heard about Qi Ji and the queen, waved his hand and said unhappily, "You are worried about the sky all day long, I am still there, how dare the queen come nonsense?" I promised you that you would become the crown prince as you wish, but it will only take time, why can't you wait for such a few days? Now it's spring, it will be very busy, in a few days I will choose an auspicious day to lead the ministers to plough the southern suburbs, the queen will also divinate the auspicious day to pro-silkworm northern suburbs, everyone is busy, how can you have the leisure to think about whether you are behind my back to force King Zhao down? After a pause, he said, "And changing the crown prince is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country, I have to think about the consequences, and besides, the prince is ......" Liu Bang said this, his eyes dodged, he felt a little guilty, and said without confidence, "The prince himself is not at fault, for what reason did I abolish him?" ”

"If the crown prince makes a mistake, will His Majesty depose him?" Qi Ji was overjoyed and asked unrelentingly.

Liu Bang was a little disgusted, nodded perfunctory. Qi Ji finally got another piece of information, that is, the prince made a mistake, and the prince could have a reason to depose him as soon as he made a mistake. So Qi Ji had nothing to say about the emperor's attitude after all, so she found an excuse to accompany Ruyi. Liu Bang was also very bored when he stayed alone in Yuzao Palace, and called two eunuchs to follow him to Shanglin Yuan to relieve his boredom. At this time, Shanglin Yuan was full of flowers and grass, but Liu Bang didn't care about these flowers and plants, and his heart was full of worries. I didn't stay in Shanglin Yuan for half an hour, and the eunuch of Linhua Hall came to report, saying that Mrs. Guan missed her younger brother and caused abdominal pain, and now she was inviting the imperial doctor to rush to Linhua Palace. Liu Bang shook his head in disgust, and ordered the eunuchs of Linhua Hall to go back and look at Mrs. Guan, and said that if Mrs. Guan had three longs and two shorts, the Taiyi family would be destroyed. The eunuch said that Mrs. Guan wanted to see the emperor, and Liu Bang glared at the eunuch, so frightened that the eunuch suddenly trembled, bowed his head and bowed his head and went back.

Liu Bang let out a long sigh on the spot, Mrs. Guan misses her younger brother, where to find her a younger brother now? As soon as he thought of this, Liu Bang felt even more annoyed in his heart, even if Mrs. Guan had abdominal pain, he didn't want to go to Linhua Palace, and he didn't want Mrs. Guan to keep pestering him about his younger brother's appointment in Yanmen County at this time. For a while, he felt that he was bored to stay in Shanglin Yuan, and Liu Bang was a little bored and gradually left Shanglin Yuan. Somehow, walking and walking came to the quiet and elegant Jinhua Palace, looking behind him, the two eunuchs didn't know when they were not around, Liu Bang chuckled and shook his head. Jinhua Palace is simple and simple and elegant, and flowers and plants are planted inside and outside the palace wall. The palace people and eunuchs who were busy cleaning up the flowers and plants outside the Jinhua Palace saw the emperor suddenly come here, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly bowed and saluted. As soon as he entered the main hall, there was an elegant fragrance of flowers, and after walking a few steps inside, he heard someone talking in the inner hall.

“…… Parents are not far away, there must be a way to travel......" Qi Ji took the "Book of Filial Piety" made by Confucius to read to five-year-old Liu Heng, carefully teaching the child in her arms, only to see Liu Heng's eyes rolling darkly, listening attentively to his mother's narration. Liu Heng's immature hand was on his mother's hand, and he asked Bo Ji with his small black eyes, "What do you mean?" ”

Bo Ji smiled, touched his son's head, and said kindly, "If your parents are here, you won't be far away to study and become an official, and if you have to study and become an official, you should tell your parents the direction." ”

After Liu Heng understood, he nodded and patted his mother's hand gently, "Mother continued." ”

Bo Ji continued, "The Min family has a virtuous man, how can he complain about the stepmother, the mother is left in front of the car, and the three sons are free from wind and frost. ”

"What do you mean?"

Bo Ji said, "That is to say, Min Ziqian is filial, he was once made of cotton clothes by his stepmother with reed flowers, Ziqian's father decided to divorce his wife after knowing it, Min Ziqian said that his mother was in a son cold, and his mother went to three sons, and his father left Ziqian's stepmother, and the stepmother repented and regarded Ziqian as her own for the rest of her life, and his filial piety was passed down to future generations and was compiled into the "Book of Filial Piety" by Kong Zhongni. Bo Ji hugged Liu Heng on his lap and told him.

Liu Heng turned his head and smiled, and said with an innocent smile, "Heng'er will also learn from Min Ziqian in the future to be filial to his father and mother." ”

Bo Ji smiled heartily and hugged Liu Heng tightly. Fu Er, who was serving next to him, also laughed, saying that Liu Heng of Bo Ji's family was the most lovable.

Liu Bang, who was listening to them on the side, suddenly looked ashamed, and was just about to go in to listen to Bo Ji again.

"Liu Heng, filial piety to parents is a must, and at the same time, you must respect your brother and love your younger generations, you know? "The Book of Songs" says: The flower of Chang Di is noisy. Bo Ji put down the "Book of Filial Piety" in his hand, scratched Liu Heng's nose with his fingers and said.

Liu Heng obviously didn't understand what it meant, and muttered with a small mouth, "Chang Di's Hua, noisy and unruly...... I haven't heard of it." Immature eyes looked at Bo Ji. At this time, Fu Er, who was serving on the side, preempted Bo Ji and said, "Your Highness, this Fu Er has heard of it, that is to say, the flower of Changdi and the calyx rely on each other, and the brothers are more intimate and friendly than each other. Fu Er said to Liu Heng excitedly.

Bo Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, Liu Heng looked at his mother suspiciously, Bo Ji said that what Fu Er said was correct, and he should love each other with his brothers. Liu Heng pouted, rolled his eyes, and smiled at his moon-like eyes, "My son likes my brother and brother, and I love each other with them." Bo Ji was a little worried and smiled movingly, her son she understood, she just hoped that the other princes would also uphold this idea.

Originally, Liu Bang wanted to go in to see Liu Heng, but after hearing that Bo Ji said such a lot of filial piety and respect for his brother, he didn't have the heart to go in, and felt that he didn't know how to open his mouth to them, he hadn't come to Jinhua Palace for a long time, Liu Heng must have asked himself a lot of embarrassing things that he couldn't speak, and he wanted to ask why he didn't come to see him and his mother. Liu Bang still smiled with satisfaction, Bo Ji's son is very good.

Liu Bang turned around and left.
