Peng Yue has been dead for half a month, Liu Bang used the same means to elect the king of Liang to let people choose the person who can be the king of Liang, the princes of the world know the emperor's heart, Prime Minister Xiao He, Yan Wang Juan, Qi King Liu Fei, Qi Xiang Cao Shen and other 28 people wrote to the emperor to set up the prince to restore the king of Liang, and the prince is the king of Huaiyang, which is equivalent to dividing the original Liang country into two and giving it to two young princes. At first, Liu Bang felt a little awkward, the prince was crowned king together with the prince's friends, which made Liu Bang feel a little naked, afraid that the ministers' intention to cater to him was too obvious, so Liu Bang pushed it several times, and said that the two princes were weak and unsuitable for the king, and asked the ministers to choose others. The ministers all knew the emperor's intentions, so they always adhered to the original statement, and it was most appropriate to set up the emperor and the prince's friends. In this way, Liu Bang pushed several times, but the ministers pleaded several times, Liu Bang pretended to be unable to resist the ministers, so he had to rely on them, and issued an edict to the world on the same day, and the Liang country was divided into two, the prince was the king of Huaiyang, and the prince was restored to the king of Liang. A few days later, Liu Bang abolished Yingchuan County, part of the land was included in the Huaiyang State, and part of the land was given to the liehou of Yingchuan; Dongjun was abolished, part of the land was included in the Liang State, and part of the land was given to the local lieges.

In April, when the flocks of flowers are gorgeous, the weather has already quietly warmed, and the chirping swallows happily flutter their wings and fly diagonally over the roofs of the people on the high hills; The spring water flows smartly; The emerald green of the mountains comes into view, and the mountain flowers of the plains exude a faint fragrance; The smoke in the distant village has already risen into the clear sky, as if you can hear the sound of dogs barking, the sound of chickens crowing, the sound of pigs barking for food, the best thing to hear is the cheerful sound of children chasing and playing, although the sunset is gradually falling in the west, but finally a touch of golden glow sprinkles down, making the village seem to be dressed in a golden and brilliant coat, very peaceful and beautiful.

The rebellion in Daidi was basically quelled, but several important generals such as Chen Feng were still on the run, running all day long, so that the Han army also kept up with the pursuit of the east, and most of the troops had already withdrawn to Guannei, and the soldiers of other princes and kings had also withdrawn some. Liu Bang recalled Fan Xu, personally picked up the wind and washed the dust for Fan Xu, and the two of them chatted all night alone in the palace. It turned out that Fan Xu had been tracking the traces of Chen Xuan's soldiers everywhere in Daidi in the past few months, but who knew that this Chen Xuan was harassing Xiang Yue back then-you come and I will retreat, and I will leave if you go. In the end, he met Chen Xuan's Hu cavalry troops in Henggu, and Fan Xu led his people to engage them for dozens of rounds, and his soldiers killed the general Zhao Ji, and captured dozens of people such as Han Liang, the county guard, Sun Fen, the county guard, Taifu Xie and the general Wang Huang. Fan Xu and the generals jointly pacified seventy-three counties and towns in Daidi. If it weren't for the emperor sending Fu Kuan to replace him, Fan Xu would have collected some soldiers and continued to pursue Chen Xuan and the others everywhere. Fan Xu told Liu Bang in detail about the pacification of himself and other generals, and immediately Liu Bang laughed, but he patted Fan Xu on the shoulder with the wine, laughed and praised Fan Xu's bravery, and smiled and said that he wanted to give Fan Xu another concubine, Fan Xu immediately woke up, and hurriedly waved his hand and said don't want it, Liu Bang smiled and patted Fan Xu's back, and said that he would give him a thousand gold as a reward, so Fan Xu accepted it happily.

A few days later, Liu Bang successively recalled Guan Ying, Li Shang and others who were guarding Zhao Di, and asked them to take the lead in returning to Guanzhong. Not long after, Liu Bang and Lu Hou also returned to Guanzhong, one day when the troops were ordered, Liu Bang found that the original Guanzhong 20,000 or 30,000 people, after the Chen Feng Rebellion, there were less than 10,000 people left, and most of them were from Fengyi, the hometown. Liu Bang had mixed feelings, thinking that when he first fought the world, most of the people who followed him were abundant people, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying and others were all abundant people, and they never gave up on him and helped him win the world. Fengpei people can be said to be Liu Bang's most loyal and trusted subordinates, when the Han Dynasty was first established, Liu Bang specially took care of his hometown soldiers, stipulating that seven doctors and above, all order food. Now seeing that there are still people from his hometown Fengyi among the soldiers, Liu Bang inspected these soldiers, and immediately ordered that those who moved into Guanzhong were exempted from conscription for life.

After getting off the platform, Liu Bang went straight to the Linhua Palace. Back in Guanzhong, Liu Bang stayed in Yuzao Palace all the time, except for seeing the prince Liu Chang on the fifth day, as if he had endless words with Qi Ji, but Qi Ji said Mrs. Guan every time she spoke, Liu Bang asked her what she wanted to say, but Qi Ji took the opportunity to change the topic and never talked about Mrs. Guan again, which made Liu Bang feel a little strange. When Liu Bang entered the Linhua Palace, it was desolate for a long time as if he was unpopular, although the eunuchs and the female palace people were busy on duty as usual, but they were all expressionless, seeing the emperor coming, they hurriedly walked away as if hiding from the plague, and they did not salute Liu Bang. Liu Bangzheng wondered, he used to walk on the verandah and could hear bursts of laughter from Mrs. Guan inside, but today he was extraordinarily calm, as if he had lost Mrs. Guan, and even the heart of serving Mrs. Guan was not seen, Liu Bang felt quite strange, and looked at the people who avoided him strangely.

"Madam-" Liu Bang pushed the door in, but the main hall was empty, deserted, and went to the inner hall again, but there was still no trace of Mrs. Guan, and Liu Jian's cry was not heard. Liu Bang subconsciously felt that he was dealing with things, and immediately looked for Mrs. Guan and Liu Jian inside and out, and when he couldn't find it, he dragged a eunuch and asked Mrs. Guan where she went, and the eunuch didn't dare to speak, Liu Bang asked the female palace people again, and the female palace people didn't dare to say it for a long time, Liu Bang roared angrily, saying that if they didn't say anything, they would be exterminated, and the female palace spit out a few words, "Your Majesty asked...... Ask Mrs. Qi. Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, obviously feeling that the situation was not good, and hurriedly returned to the Yuzao Palace.

Mrs. Qi was playing with Ruyi, but Liu Bang came in angrily with a black face, dragged Mrs. Qi into the inner hall, and closed the door with a 'pop-', Ruyi yelled outside, thinking that his father was going to beat his mother, Jing Tian saw the situation and quickly coaxed Ruyi away, and asked Zhen'er to play with him.

"Where is that one in Linhua Palace?" Liu Bang grabbed Qi Ji's hand and asked her straight to the point.

Qi Ji didn't dare to look at Liu Bang, her eyes dodged, and she wanted to break free of Liu Bang's hand but was grabbed by him and couldn't escape. "What about Liu Jian?" Liu Bang asked again, "The people of the Linhua Palace asked me to ask you, you said, I listened." ”

Qi Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, looking at Liu Bang for a long time, from Liu Bang's eyes, he obviously felt that he was very nervous, and he also cared about Mrs. Guan, Qi Ji was a little jealous, and she was also angry in her heart, Liu Bang glared at her, and Qi Ji also shouted loudly as if she had been ignited, "How do I know?" Why don't you ask Lu Pheasant and ask me why? Qi Ji angrily shook off Liu Bang's hand and sat on the couch angrily.

Liu Bang was stunned for a long time, walked to Qi Ji's side, stroked her shoulders and said, "You see that you are angry again, that Guan Wen is gone, can I not be in a hurry?" You're gone, and I'm going to die without eating or drinking. Liu Bang changed his smile and sat beside Qi Ji and hugged Qi Ji. Mrs. Qi sobbed, her crying nose was red, Liu Bang was about to open her mouth to comfort her, but Mrs. Qi twisted back and threw herself into Liu Bang's arms and cried loudly, Liu Bang had to comfort Mrs. Qi first. After Mrs. Qi's mood eased, she said, "Not long after you left, Mrs. Guan died." Speaking of this, Mrs. Qi burst into tears again, she couldn't help herself, crying and grabbing Liu Bang's hand and said with tears in her eyes, "Empress Lu killed her and died so miserably." "What?" Liu Bang was dumbfounded, and it took a while to come back to his senses and ask Qi Ji to make the whole story clear.

On that day, Liu Bang led his troops to Hebei to quell the rebellion of Chen Xuan, and Empress Lu asked Liu Bang if he found out if the person who drugged the Emperor Taishang would be immediately executed, and Liu Bang said. I don't want him to live for half a day', Empress Lu was like getting a holy decree, and found Mrs. Guan in a few days, and Empress Lu immediately ordered someone to tie her to the Yongxiang violent room, and applied both soft and hard to her, telling Mrs. Guan to admit that she or her companions poisoned the emperor, but Mrs. Guan did not eat the toast and punishment, and wanted to wait until the emperor came back to support herself.

Empress Lu had nowhere to express her anger in her heart, resentful that someone dared to frame the prince, and after seven days of imprisoning Mrs. Guan, Empress Lu personally came to interrogate her. When the door opened, a pungent smell emanated from inside, and Lu Hou covered her nose and entered, the dark hut was filled with dust, and a golden light shone directly on Mrs. Guan's embarrassed body along the door, Mrs. Guan's gorgeous body had already become dirty, and her hair was fluffy and messy and grew at will. Lv Hou walked and looked coldly at Mrs. Guan who was drooping and in a drowsy state, and the people left and right told Lv Hou that Mrs. Guan had not drunk water and had already fallen into a coma, and Lu Hou lukewarmly told Mrs. Guan not to let Mrs. Guan die.

"Wow-" A basin of cold water was poured on Mrs. Guan's body, and suddenly Mrs. Guan's body moved subconsciously, and she slowly opened her eyes and saw a pair of women's feet standing in front of her, Mrs. Guan seemed to know that it was Empress Lu, so she didn't look up, but closed her eyes again.

"Checkmate, don't you have anything to say?" Empress Lu asked with a gloomy face.

"Injustice!" Mrs. Guan squirted a word.

Lu Hou snorted coldly, picked up Mrs. Guan's chin fiercely, and stared at Mrs. Guan's eyes gloomily, gritting her teeth and saying, "Are you wronged?" Who sent someone to poison the Emperor Taishang's medicine that day? You say you're wronged? ”

"Have you found out?" Mrs. Guan glared at Empress Lu angrily, and also gritted her teeth and said, "The Emperor Taishang has no grudge against me, why did I poison the Emperor?" ”

"Why? You know it in your heart. Empress Lu widened her eyes, eager to eat her at this time, pinched her chin fiercely and said, "The Emperor Taishang is old, after all, he is dead, and the emperor favors you at this time, so you will take this opportunity to frame the prince so that your son can inherit the throne, isn't it?" ”

'Hahaha-', Mrs. Guan laughed wildly, and forced her chin to break free from Lu Hou's hand, Mrs. Guan's eyes suddenly showed anger, and she stared at Lu Hou with hatred and roared, "Yes! I hate your son, I hate you even more, since Guan Xiuyan died, I hate you, hate you, grit my teeth and hate you! Mrs. Guan trembled angrily, "Yes, I poisoned the emperor, just to make the emperor hate you and your son, and I will not make him the prince!" ”

"Smack-", Mrs. Guan was slapped heavily on the face by Empress Lu, but Mrs. Guan couldn't stop laughing, as if she was deliberately making Empress Lu angry and didn't make her feel better, and said, "Liu Ying is a soft product, and the emperor doesn't like him." I'm poisoning, what? ”

"You lunatic!" Empress Lu gritted her teeth and scolded with a dark face, but Mrs. Guan was really crazy at this time. Empress Lu snorted coldly and slammed the door out.

A few days later, the door of the small black room opened again, and Mrs. Guan's eyes could not be opened by a ray of sunlight, but she faintly heard a child's cry, and Mrs. Guan immediately raised her head and squinted at the person in front of her as if she remembered something, only knowing the two women, but she couldn't see who it was. 'Bang-', the door was shut, and Mrs. Guan glared in surprise, "It's you." "It's me." Mrs. Qi replied, and took the child from Jing Tian's arms and came to Mrs. Guan and said, "I heard that the emperor once instructed the queen to kill those who were found to be poisoned. I'm afraid that Madame won't be able to get out, so I'll give you your son a look. ”

Mrs. Guan saw her son staring at her with her fingers innocent, Mrs. Guan laughed and coaxed her son to play for a long time. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she immediately closed her smile and stared at Mrs. Qi.

"Don't hurt him, I won't say your name." Mrs. Guan said.

Mrs. Qi and Jing tilted their faces and looked at each other, not knowing what Mrs. Guan was talking about. Mrs. Qi hugged Liu Jian and stepped forward and asked Mrs. Guan, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Is it necessary to ask?" Mrs. Guan gave Mrs. Qi a fierce white look and said, "Didn't you bring my son here to threaten me with him?" Okay, I'm dead. You must treat him well, or I will turn into a ghost and haunt you every night. Mrs. Qi was terrified in the last sentence, and looked at Mrs. Guan in surprise. Jing Tian stepped forward to defend, "Madame is wrong to blame Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Qi heard that the queen found out that you were the person who poisoned the emperor, so she was anxious day and night, but she couldn't rescue you, I was afraid that you would think about your son, so I will bring your son today, but you want to blame Mrs. Qi, it is very undeserved." ”

"When the Emperor Taishang was sick, it was the prince who personally decocted the medicine, and poisoning the Emperor Taishang was the most able to affect the prince, and it was you who wanted Liu Ying to make mistakes the most. You master and servant want to sing and laugh at me? ”

"I don't, believe it or not, whatever." Mrs. Qi simply ignored Mrs. Guan's nonsense, hugged Liu Jian up, and said to Mrs. Guan, "Do you want to kiss him?" I have to go. After a long time, the official lady nodded, leaned down and kissed Liu Jian's forehead, but she couldn't stop crying.

Mrs. Qi hugged Liu Jian and walked to the door, but Liu Jian in her arms cried loudly, which made Mrs. Guan cry even more, and reluctantly watched her son go away.

"You wait-" Mrs. Guan called Mrs. Qi outside the door, Mrs. Qi turned around with Liu Jian in her arms, Mrs. Guan looked at her son's red cheeks and round eyes with teary eyes, so cute.

"I knew I couldn't get out." Mrs. Guan cried and instructed Mrs. Qi, "When the emperor comes back, please leave a message for me, okay?" ”

"You say."

"The concubine has a thin life, and she will be happy in the next life."

Mrs. Qi silently wrote it down, moved and sad by Mrs. Guan's words, nodded firmly to Mrs. Guan and turned around and left quickly.

The next day, Empress Lu came to the Yongxiang Violent Room again, and surprisingly ordered Mrs. Guan to scoop water and left and right, and when she drank enough and fed her delicious meals, Mrs. Guan devoured it for a while, and her spirit gradually improved, and she also had strength all over her body. After eating and drinking, Mrs. Guan asked Empress Lu what kind of nerves she had today, and she actually let herself eat and drink enough. Empress Lu smiled mysteriously, raised her right hand, and six big men came in from outside, walked to Mrs. Guan and hurriedly untied her, and when Mrs. Guan had time to figure out the situation, she was hurriedly driven outside by six big men. Mrs. Guan was frightened when she saw what was in front of her, a coffin was placed in front of her, Mrs. Guan did not dare to speculate who this coffin was prepared for, but her intuition was very bad, and her mouth was dry and frightened. Empress Lu came out of the dark room, stood on the platform and glanced down at the frightened Mrs. Guan arrogantly, and said, "Since you have admitted that the person who poisoned me is you, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Mrs. Guan was nervous for a while, and hurriedly pounced on Empress Lu to argue, "It's not me, it's not me." "Do I believe you?" Lu Houdao. Mrs. Guan was an unprecedented fear, and felt more and more that she was being used, and when Empress Lu arrested her, a eunuch stood up and said that he had seen a small palace man in the Linhua Hall sneakily run to the decoction pharmacy and put a bag of things into the decoction. Mrs. Guan had a hard time distinguishing, and asked the eunuch to find out the person in her palace, but the eunuch found the person out without effort, and the small palace people stood up tremblingly, and said that they were ordered by Mrs. Guan to poison the emperor, Mrs. Guan was immediately stunned, and then was pulled to Yongxiang by Empress Lu's people.

"So fast, I'm here." Mrs. Guan gave a wry smile of self-irony.

Lu Hou looked at him, but the six big men surrounded Mrs. Guan violently, Mrs. Guan struggled and fluttered for a while, but after all, she couldn't screw the six big men, and was pressed into the coffin by the six big men, and wanted to get up but was quickly covered by the big men, and the nails were nailed, and Mrs. Guan was beaten and kicked inside, but the coffin lid was nailed to death.

"Lu Pheasant-" Mrs. Guan fluttered in the coffin for a while, and scolded Empress Lu hysterically, "You can't die well, your son can't die well." In the future, I will turn into a ghost and haunt you forever. ”

"Scold." Empress Lu didn't seem to be angry, and she didn't change color even if she scolded her.

The big men carried the coffin of Mrs. Guan, who was not dead inside, and buried it at the foot of a desolate mountain in Nancheng. At night, it seems that Mrs. Guan's scolding can still be heard, which makes the people in the palace all creepy, and Empress Lu can only fall asleep, and there seem to be some small beads of sweat on her forehead. After three days, no sound was heard.

Qi Ji told Liu Bang in detail about Mrs. Guan's death, and Liu Bang was speechless for a long time. Qi Ji cried to Liu Bang, "Mrs. Guan said, 'The concubine has a thin life, and she will be happy in the next life', and she died like this, Your Majesty." Liu Bang was already stunned as if he was unconscious, his mind seemed to go back to the last time he saw Mrs. Guan, that day Mrs. Guan was unhappy, so he quarreled with her and hurried out of her hall, but he didn't expect that it was the last side, Liu Bang's eyes were red.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Guan is your concubine, how can she let her die so miserably and be buried alone at the foot of the mountain." Qi Ji cried to Liu Bang, "Your Majesty, the queen acts like this, I'm afraid that Ruyi and I won't be able to have a good time in the future, why don't you let my mother and son die happily, and you don't have to be tortured by the Lu family." She's making an example, Your Majesty. Ruyi and I are afraid that there is no way to live. ”

"This ruthless woman!" Liu Bang took Qi Ji in his arms and swore to her, "Don't worry, I will abolish Liu Ying." ”
