The news of the emperor's secret investigation of Chen Feng spread quietly, and someone immediately suggested that Liu Bang quickly recall Chen Xuan, because of his large number of guests, he would definitely tell him about the emperor's secret investigation of him, if he was afraid in his heart, he would definitely take the risk of learning from Han Wangxin to raise troops, or he would directly reverse into the Xiongnu. Liu Bang frowned and said nothing, pacing the hall. Fan Xu always looked suspicious, touched the back of his head and thought for a long time, and said to Liu Bang, "When I was on behalf of the land, the minister didn't hear that Chen Xian and his guests had done so many wrong things. Liu Bang glanced at him displeased or angry and continued to pace and ponder. Fan Hao retreated to the ministers, and whispered to him, "The Jun family often patrols in Mayi, and Yangxiahou often patrols in Jinyang, of course you don't know this person's delicate activities. ”

In the middle of July, Chang'an was hot again, the outside of the hall was dazzling by the scorching sun, and the cicadas on the trees were 'buzzing', which made Liu Bang in the hall annoyed, and 'popped-' a hammer on the case. Liu Bang pondered with a dark face, and paced and said to the ministers, "Chen Feng ignored the Han law and connived at the guests to do things that violated the law of the country, and his reputation was resounding throughout the country, and he was as powerful as a tiger and was in charge of the military power of the Zhao Dynasty. Liu Bang finally stood on the side of the stage and was silent for a while, but after thinking about it, he only spit out six words without pain, "This matter is over for the time being." With that, he threw off his sleeves and wanted to go to the apse.

"Your Majesty-" Zhao Yao, the imperial historian, hurriedly went out of work and called Liu Bang, who had entered the apse, Zhao Yao bowed his hand to Liu Bang behind the couch with a calm face, and his words were crisp and eager, "Why don't you recall Chen Feng on the grounds of praying for the emperor?" It is said that the emperor is ill, and the princes of the kingdom all went to Chang'an to pray for blessings and arrested Chen Feng with lightning speed. "The ministers are all chattering about public opinion, some are in favor and some are against, and there are those who do not express their position. Liu Bang didn't say anything, but frowned and slowly returned to the stage, and suddenly a pair of sharp and wise old eyes fell on one person, "Chen Ping, what do you think?" After hearing about Chen Feng and his guests for the first time, Chen Ping already had his own opinion in his heart, so he slightly bowed his hand and only said in his words, "For the destruction of the Buddha, for the snake, what will it be?" The ministers all stared at Chen Ping and looked at Liu Bang. What will happen for the Buddha, for the snake? Liu Bang frowned and whispered this sentence, but he fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty—" A sharp, crisp, and trembling eunuch's voice outside the hall entered the hall with a loud and crisp wind, causing the hall to buzz. Liu Bangfang bowed his head and pondered Chen Ping's words, but when he looked up, he saw a eunuch coming from outside the hall in a hurry, and the panicked eunuch was ten meters away from Liu Bang and already knelt on the ground with a 'poof', trembling and raising his hands and swallowing, "The Emperor...... Emperor Taishang...... Crane ride. After that, two lines of tears already flowed from his eyes.

"What?" Liu Bang was shocked and glared at the eunuch, his eyes had already hidden tears, his brain was in a panic, his right hand trembled and pointed at the ministers, his mouth was slightly open but he didn't say a word. Liu Bang hurriedly put down the political affairs just now, threw off the wide robe and big sleeves, and hurriedly ran down the steps to the outside of the hall, almost tripping it over the threshold, but fortunately, the guards at the door quickly helped Liu Bang up. Liu Bang shook off the guard's hand and trotted towards Liyang Palace, only to hear Liu Bang ask the eunuch, "Are all the imperial doctor's orders?" "The queen mother has already passed them on."

Liu Bang quickly rushed to Liyang Palace, and as soon as he entered the palace, he saw that the palace eunuch's waist was already white, and his face was serious and sad, which was not quite right. When he hurried into the hall, all the concubines stood in a row, hiding their faces and weeping quietly. Liu Bang walked to the emperor's couch in three steps, and the emperor's face on the couch was pale, saliva remained at the corners of his mouth, and his face seemed to be uneasy and painful. "Father-" Liu Bang held the hand of the emperor, but felt extremely cold and sticky, Liu Bang had already burst into tears, crying silently, thinking that he had been a cool man all his life, at this time, he couldn't suppress the grief of losing his old father and cried bitterly, and the people on both sides cried for it.

"What does the Emperor have to say?" Liu Bang knelt in front of the emperor's couch and asked Empress Lu, but he didn't look back at her.

"Nope." There were traces of crying in Lu Hou's words, but he answered simply, but there was uneasiness in his reddish eyes.

Liu Bang let go of the emperor's hand, and once again felt that the emperor's hand was cold and sticky, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart: The emperor has just passed away for less than an hour, why is his body cold and sticky? Liu Bang stroked his old father's silver hair, and then looked at the wrinkles on his face that had covered his father's most handsome face for decades, his eyebrows were always wrinkled, as if he was uneasy, his lower lip was slightly open and the corners of his mouth were full of salivation, and his face was actually white. Liu Bang immediately stopped his sadness, and with a thrill all over his body, he turned his head and stared at Empress Lu directly, "When and when is the time when the Emperor Taishang returns?" Lu Hou said, "The day is full of moments." "It's three o'clock at this time, but it's just an hour, why is the emperor's body already cold?" Liu Bang stood up and glared at Empress Lu angrily, but Empress Lu couldn't speak and gritted his teeth to avoid Liu Bang's angry gaze.

"Imperial Doctor's Order!" Liu Bang shouted angrily, and Imperial Physician Song had already squeezed out of the crowd and knelt on the ground tremblingly, "The minister, the minister is here." "I have just come to see the Emperor, although he is angry, he has not seen the appearance of a crane. Say! Why did the Emperor go there? Liu Bang stood in front of Imperial Physician Song and roared over his head. Imperial Physician Song looked at Empress Lu not far from him with a struggling face, Empress Lu's eyes were gloomy and like a hook back to him, and Imperial Physician Song did not dare to speak.

"Say! Otherwise, the three tribes. Liu Bang saw that Imperial Physician Song's eyes were wandering on Empress Lu's body, and he yelled more and more angrily. Doctor Song was frightened on the ground and said, "The minister sees that there are raw aconite remnants in the emperor's medicine bowl, and the aconite can be poisoned if it is not decocted properly or used too much." The emperor's face was pale, his mouth was drooling, his pupils were dilated, and his skin was cold and sticky, all of which were poisoned by aconite. ”

Liu Bang walked up to Empress Lu with a dark face and asked Empress Lu coldly, "Before the Emperor died, you always guarded his side, is Imperial Doctor Song's words right?" Lu Hourong was surprisingly calm, and said instead, "Yes." Not only that, but the Emperor Taishang also vomited, was numb all over, had difficulty breathing, and had a weak and slow pulse. Imperial Doctor Song had already said to his concubine that it was aconite poisoning, and he was afraid that His Majesty would be in a hurry, so he didn't tell you. ”

Liu Bang glanced at everyone in the hall and asked sharply, "Who is responsible for decocting medicine for the Emperor?" Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing. What is the matter of Liyang Palace? Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Bang directly called Zhan Shi. A diminutive man cowered and replied, "Minister." "Who decocted the medicine for the Emperor?" Liu Bang asked sharply again. Zhan Shi bent over and was silent, 'poof-', Zhan Shi was kicked to the ground by Liu Bang, and quickly got up and recruited everything, "There was a full-time palace person in charge of the past, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in charge of it in person for the past two days." ”

Liu Bang's majestic dragon eyes glared at Empress Lu and the prince behind Empress Lu who bowed his head and did not dare to make a sound, and he was speechless for a long time, but he kept staring at Empress Lu's mother and son. Empress Lu's eyes rolled and she bit her lip slightly, feeling that Liu Bang's eyes at this time seemed to be a sharp knife stabbing her several times, and Empress Lu immediately stepped forward and said to Liu Bang, "It wasn't the prince who did it, the prince has always been filial to the emperor, please allow me to find out the facts for you." There was a bit of discussion in his words. Liu Bang didn't say a word, holding back his anger and beckoning Liu Ying, who was hiding behind Lu Hou, "Come on, come on, you come." The prince moved slowly, and Empress Lu patted the prince on the shoulder to comfort him, and the prince was afraid that Liu Bang would stop in the distance. Come, come, near, near. Liu Bang beckoned the prince to approach him, and the prince's squirming footsteps finally stopped one meter away from Liu Bang. You ......" Liu Bang stepped in front of the prince and raised his hand to slap him, but saw the prince turn his face and close his eyes to endure the slap, Liu Bang was angry and couldn't slap the prince, his hand in the air trembled, but Empress Lu was nervous and stared at him. "I wonder what you can do?" Liu Bang put down his hand angrily, compressed the anger in his chest into this sentence, glared at the prince angrily, and walked quickly to the emperor's bed.

"Kneel down to the Emperor—" Liu Bang gritted his teeth and shouted in a high-pitched voice. All the people in the hall knelt down to pay a solemn salute to the emperor.

In the afternoon, the cloth was hung in the palace, and the civil and military officials and the harem concubines all came to mourn. Two days later, the king of Chu and the king of Liang who learned the news came to mourn the emperor, and the princes and kings of Guoyuan sent envoys to Beijing to express their condolences. Seven days after the collapse of the Emperor Taishang, and it was summer, Liu Bang ordered the Emperor Taishang to be buried quickly. On the day of the spirit, thirty-six people carried the coffin out of the gate of the Liyang Palace, and the sixty-four people who walked in the front were sixty-four banner people, holding high the flag and umbrella, followed by the emperor's halo honor guard: the son of heaven came out, and the car drove the first called the halo, which means a big shield, which is a kind of protective protection measure for the emperor; The guards are preceded by the armor and shield outside, which is called thin, which means thin, and the action and preventive measures that are about to be released from the spirit are in the revised classics. There are 1,500 people in the honor guard, holding all kinds of weapons and banners, and they are mighty and magnificent. The coffin man serves filial piety, 30 people carry the coffin in each shift, and the two shifts take turns to carry it, behind the coffin is the mighty Imperial Forest Guard, followed by the civil and military officials, the emperor's relatives and the Liu clan, the team is dozens of miles long. The people on both sides also knelt down when they saw the coffin and wept a few times, and even knelt dozens of miles away. Emperor Taishang was buried in the north plain of Liyang, and Fenglingyi was buried in Wannian County.
