There were preparations to inspect the outside of the Guanzhong before, but Liu Bang still handed over the major affairs of the Guanzhong to the Prime Minister Xiao He and the Empress Lu Pheasant to manage on his behalf, and the prince really stayed in the prison country. Three days later, Liu Bang led some civil and military officials out of the customs, the servant Xiahou Ying, the lieutenant Chen Ping, the guard Chen Juan, the general Zhou Bo, the imperial history Zhou Chang, the Fu Xi imperial history Zhao Yao, the general Jin Ji, the Guangping Hou Zhaoou, the Anguo Marquis Wang Ling and other civil and military Qi were waiting under the east gate.

Xiao He, Empress Lu, Prince Liu Ying, and Liuhou Zhang Liang all went out of the city to see each other. Flag hunting, the spring sun is shining, and the breeze is blowing. The solemn and neat army stood like steel under the city, waiting for the emperor's will. The sun is shining high, and the golden light shines on the whole Chang'an. The emperor jade chariot came out of the east gate, Xiao He and Zhang Liang bowed down to Liu Bangyu's side, and when the emperor jade chariot stopped, he personally opened the curtain to welcome the emperor. Mrs. Qi and Liu Ruyi also sat in the car with Liu Bang, Mrs. Qi saw the queen personally out of the city to see off, she didn't dare to sit in the car and wait for the emperor, and she was busy pulling Ruyi to get out of the car, Qi Ji was naturally very anxious in her heart, her steps were slightly forced, her expression was slightly panicked, and she quickly pulled Ruyi to stand behind Liu Bang to avoid the sight of Queen Lu. In previous years, Qi Ji didn't particularly care about these, and in recent months, she has been with Mrs. Guan for a long time, and Mrs. Guan told Qi Ji all the details of Empress Lu's jealousy of Qi Ji. After being said by Mrs. Guan like this, Qi Ji immediately swallowed and salivaed, knowing that she was also very hated. Originally, I didn't want to follow the emperor out of the customs this time, but Liu Bang got used to taking her and asked her to follow, not only her, but also Ruyi. Originally, Mrs. Guan wanted to follow, but Liu Bang thought she was a pregnant woman, and it was extremely inconvenient to take her, so he didn't allow Mrs. Guan to follow.

Empress Lu pulled the prince over to the emperor's side, the prince deliberately glanced at the back of Liu Bang's team, and felt that there was a hundred zhang away at the end of the team, and the last was the palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied him, and there were only about 20 people, all of them bowed down and waited and did not dare to probe their brains and look at them casually, and the prince was relieved, because he did not want Jing Tian to find out his identity. Liu Ru thought that the prince was also coming, and happily let go of Qi Ji's hand, Qi Ji couldn't stop him, and before he could react, Ruyi had already run into Liu Ying's arms and looked up and asked with a smile, "Is the prince's brother also going out with us?" I've heard that there are a lot of fun and delicious things outside the gates. Liu Ying smiled at Ruyi, touched his cheek and told him to have fun when he went out of the customs and listen to his father and mother.

Qi Ji hid behind Liu Bang and glanced at Empress Lu, seeing that Empress Lu was unhappy and hostile to Ruyi, Qi Ji hurriedly went over to the prince's side to pull back Ruyi, and when she passed by Empress Lu, she respectfully made a salute, ready to quickly return behind Liu Bang, but Empress Lu quickly grabbed her clothes with one hand, personally helped Qi Ji, and said softly and rigidly with a knife, "This time, Your Majesty will hand it over to you, good sister." Qi Ji didn't listen to the word sister for a long time, but after being called by Empress Lu, she suddenly felt awkward, Qi Ji nodded in fear and didn't dare to look into Empress Lu's eyes, and then made a suli and took Ruyi to stand behind Liu Bang.

Liu Bang here again instructed Xiao He to govern the Guannei well, and the matter about the Kanto migrants should continue, and Xiao He nodded his head to obey the will. Seeing Zhang Liang's weak body, Liu Bang said to him with a smile, "Liuhou still has to eat more grains, what is useless to practice the Gugong Gong, hehe, Liuhou also wants to learn from Zhao Zheng to pursue immortality?" Life is like a white horse passing through the gap, and the ovary still has to cherish the present. Liu Bang stroked his back again, "After I leave, I hope that the prince will assist the prince in governing Guanzhong, and the prince can dismiss what the prime minister has done wrong, and the prince can also dismiss what the prince has done wrong." Zhijun Hou has ignored the affairs of the government in recent years, and this time it is difficult for me. ”

Liuhou Zhang Liang originally only came to see him off, but the emperor asked him to reluctantly assist the crown prince, pondered for a moment and felt that it was not good to refuse, so he bowed his head and bowed his hand, "Minister...... Compliance. "Half-pushed and half-accepted the emperor's will, but also knew that what the emperor said was just a superficial word, the prime minister and the prince were all people who stayed behind to take care of Guanzhong, why should they ignore the state affairs for many years.

Liu Bang nodded happily and gently patted Zhang Liang's shoulder to show his responsibility. Liu Bang had already seen that Qi Ji and the queen were embarrassed just now, and Qi Ji behind him was reluctant and did not dare to speak, at this time, it was not good to appease Qi Ji to Empress Lu, Liu Bang called the prince and Empress Lu, and solemnly instructed, "I am out of the customs is just a matter of a month, during which the prince is in charge of the country, if there is a major event and the ministers are not properly discussed, you can quickly report to Luoyang, and the rest of the small things depend on the situation." ”

The prince nodded as if he was responsible, and said that he would definitely govern the pass. Empress Lu also came to Liu Bang's side to brush off the dust falling from the dragon robe for him, glanced at Liu Bang, and said with a gentler face, "Go, the concubine will wait for Your Majesty to return quietly." ”

Liu Bang gestured to the left and right, and everyone bowed their heads. Liu Bang rubbed his nose, approached Empress Lu and took her hand, as if he had something to say but did not say it, a pair of old eyes were just alive, and his mouth moved slightly and he wanted to open his mouth, but Empress Lu took the lead and said, "The concubine will worship the Emperor Taishang for three days, Your Majesty can rest assured." Mrs. Guan's concubine will instruct the palace people to take care of her. ”

At this time, Liu Bang nodded as relieved, hugged Empress Lu into his arms for a while, hugged her shoulders and whispered, "I will rest assured that you are in the Guannei, if I take you and let Qi Ji stay in the Guannei, I am not at ease when I leave, she does not have the courage to subdue the Guannei." Empress Lu's expression was indifferent, knowing that his reasons every time were high-sounding and impossible to refuse. If you think about it carefully, Liu Bang's words are also very correct, she knows the ability of Empress Lu on weekdays, although she does not have dealings with officials, but as long as she speaks, no one in Chang'an will dare to refute her easily. She is also a woman who made meritorious contributions to the establishment of the Han Dynasty, and she is quite prestigious among the princes.

'Woo-', the horn of departure sounded, and Liu Bang got into the car surrounded by everyone. The car moved forward slowly, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others were riding high-headed horses to accompany the emperor's sides, and the rest of the people were all following the emperor's chariot on foot. Empress Lu, Prince Xiao He, Zhang Liang and others sent ten miles of land before returning.

Windward and windy, mighty, horses' hooves, car dust. Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, who were riding tall horses, glanced at each other, but no one paid attention to anyone, and they were leisurely and relaxed, raising a little energy and patrolling both sides of the road. Xiahou Ying drove the car, and Liu Bang felt that it was difficult to pass the time after he had not gone far, so he asked Xiahou Ying to hum a few songs of Chu to relieve his boredom. Xiahou Ying was embarrassed and said that it was not the material for singing, Liu Bang couldn't do it, he had to ask him to sing, Xiahou Ying was helpless, and while catching the car, he cleared his throat and sang the children's songs he had heard in Pei County. Selling flower girls, good makeup, jade net flowers are bright and Chu Weiyang; Selling flowers and selling flowers, and boys are looking for Yiyi; My son is growing up quickly, marrying someone who is Yi and ...... Jiawang" Chu Sheng, Chu Yun is still there, not waiting for Xiahou Ying to sing, not only Liu Bang in the car, but even Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Zhou Chang, they all 'poof' laughed. Xiahou Ying saw that everyone was laughing at the emperor along with him, but he didn't dare to blame the emperor, so he had to whip the four horses to relieve his anger, and muttered in a low voice, "If I don't sing, you have to sing, and if you sing it, you laugh at people." Liu Bang smiled from ear to ear, climbed over from the car and patted him on the back, "Old man Gao, is Chu Guo's children's rhyme really like this?" Tell your son to marry a flower seller? Let's talk about it, how is your son Xiahou Zao doing, wouldn't it be nice to call him to stay in the palace if he has nothing to do? Staying home and learning this with you has no future. Liu Bang said and patted Xiahou Ying's back again and laughed. Xiahou Ying was choked by the emperor and didn't know how to answer, swallowed dryly, and nodded to accept the emperor's words.

Liu Bang didn't reduce his smile, returned to the car and looked at Qi Ji with a smile, but saw that Qi Ji had been holding her chest since she got into the car, staring at one place with a pair of good-looking eyes, and her face was panicked. Liu Bang attached one hand to Qi Ji's hand and patted it, thinking that she was afraid of the queen, and didn't know how to comfort her, so she joked, "So cowardly, the queen scared you like this with a single look, do you dare to ask me to help you change the prince in the future?" ”

Qi Jifang was panicking, and when he heard that the emperor was talking and laughing calmly, he slapped Liu Bang's shoulder with a slightly angry hand, and still looked a little panicked and worried and said to Liu Bang, "Although you have been married for 20 years, the concubine doesn't think you know the queen. There was murder in her eyes just now, so the concubine was afraid. His Majesty doesn't often stay in the deep palace, and he doesn't know that the harem women are quite scheming. ”

Liu Bang was convinced, but he didn't know how to alleviate Qi Ji's worries, so he had to remain calm and leisurely on his face, "It is said that only women and villains are difficult to raise, this is really tailor-made for you." Qi Ji saw that he was not serious when he joked like this, so she pouted and frowned and turned around to ignore him. Qi Ji's angry appearance was Liu Bang's favorite, chased after Qi Ji and sat down, hugged Qi Ji tightly, and was about to get close to Qi Ji in the car once, so frightened that Qi Ji hurriedly pointed to Ruyi who was sleeping on the side. After Liu Bang understood, he whispered, "Ruyi, Ruyi." Ruyi didn't respond, and fell asleep. Liu Bang laughed, called Qi Ji and called again, but still didn't respond, and snoring was everywhere. Liu Bang was upset and uncomfortable, his head rested on Qi Ji's shoulder, and he untied Qi Ji's belt with one hand and touched it inside. Qi Ji stopped him again at this time, and pointed to Liu Bang with a light cough, Liu Bang sorted out his virtue just now, climbed to the car door and explained, "Don't look inside without instructions." "Everyone was puzzled, but they all said, 'Oh'.

Only then did Liu Bang become presumptuous, put Qi Ji down in the car, took off his clothes, and kissed Xiangze like a hungry person. The sound of the two of them churning in the car made the ears of the people outside the car itch, and they wanted to plug their ears with cotton. Especially Zhou Bo, who accompanied the left side of the jade chariot, heard it clearly and did not dare to disturb the emperor's beautiful things, his eyes unnaturally met Chen Ping's sight, at this time Chen Ping was smiling leisurely at Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo felt that there was no place to avoid, and he simply looked at the distant grass on his left side to look at it, in order to seek peace of mind. Because Zhou Bo is honest and cute, he can't accept this kind of thing, especially in broad daylight. Chen Ping smiled, he laughed at Zhou Bo's honest appearance, Chen Ping is a master of love, and he sees these things clearly, but I am afraid that he himself used to play with the innocent little woman desperately when he lived in the Hou Mansion.

The car gradually drifted away, out of Lantian and out of Wuguan to Nanyang.
