After saying that, both of them stopped drinking wine.

When Liu Bang turned his head to pour wine, he and Han Xin's hand invariably touched together, Han Xin also finished drinking, and was about to pour wine, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he touched Liu Bang's hand, the two raised their eyes and looked at each other, and they smiled awkwardly, Han Xin respectfully poured wine for Liu Bang. Han Xin looked at the fish swimming in the pond, and Liu Bang also took a sip and tasted it, and also looked at the fish. Those cheerful fish were swimming carefree, although they were watching the fish, both of them were pretending to be their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, and no one could guess what each other was thinking now.

Liu Bang put the wine buds on a few cases, got up and stood with his hands behind his back to look at the north, remembering that he had just encountered the siege of Pingcheng, and sighed, "The north is uneven, and there is no way to get rid of Di Kou." ”

Han Xin pondered his words, observed his words and said cautiously, "Now is the time for recuperation in the country, and it is not appropriate to make a big military move. ”

Liu Bang nodded admittedly and said, "I am a Kuang world, overthrow the Qin Empire, tear the soil and seal the king and marquis, and all the generals under him have the good of rewarding the fields and the lords, and the temple of the Danshu Iron Coupon Collection, so that his heirs can continue to extend the title, why do so many old ministers rebel against me on the way?" ”

Han was frightened, bowed his head, and didn't dare to answer for a long time.

Seeing Han Xin's respectful appearance, Liu Bang thought about what he had just said, and the insinuation in his words was that he meant Han Xin, and it was not aimed at Han Xin at first, but he was a little puzzled and annoyed by the rebellion of Han Wangxin and Zang Di, as well as the Li soldiers who had been named the Marquis of Yingchuan, so he said this. Liu Bang really can't figure out why, when someone rumored that Han Xin wanted to rebel, he was arrested and put under house arrest in Chang'an, although it was hearsay at the beginning, he also wanted to really clean up Han Xin, but in addition to his own intention to take advantage of the situation to suppress it, the rumors were groundless, Han Xin may not have done anything beyond the slightest, and it would be good to take advantage of the situation to ask the reason together. Liu Bang said, "Let's talk about it, it's okay to make a mistake, and I won't be held accountable." ”

Han Xin bowed even more, raised his hands and made a deep gesture, and after thinking for a long time, he said as if he was suffering, "If it is not for the old ministers, they will definitely raise troops, for fear that the traitors and slanderers will be slandered by Tianwei, so that the monarchs and ministers will not be able to reconcile if there is a gap." ”

"A traitor?" Liu Bang muttered lightly, and knew that Han Xin was still resentful of Chen Ping, so he immediately smiled, stroked his back and comforted, "In the future, I should be aware of everything, the so-called traitorous ministers are in the court, and the country is ruined; The ministers are in the middle, and the beetles of the lord are also. I can still tell the difference. ”

Han Xin bowed down again.

The sun was slanting in the west, and after talking for a long time, Liu Bang was not interested in continuing to talk about painless topics. Got up and walked out of the Changyu Pavilion, Han Xin saw that he was interested in the Shangguan Mansion, so he led Liu Bang to see his pavilion, study, garden, etc., about the end of the time, Han Xin ordered the cooks to make some snacks for Liu Bang to eat. After a whole day in the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, I didn't know that the sun was about to set. Liu Bang said that he wanted to return to the palace, and Han Xin personally sent him out of the palace, and before leaving, the two said some insignificant words.

Just as he was about to walk out of the mansion, Liu Bang suddenly stopped, his face was happy, and he turned back to Han Xin and said: "By the way, I know that you are sick, and I am afraid that your maids will not be enough, so I will find two girls from the palace and give them to you, don't refuse." Liu Bang motioned to the two girls, and the two girls walked over and pointed them out to Han Xin, "Yujing Huaming." There are beauties, just like Qingyang. Qing, what do you think? ”

"Zhilan, I've seen Master Hou."

"Youlan, I've seen Master Hou."

The two of them came to Han Xin to salute, and the words were like the song of a thrush.

Han Xin took a cursory glance at these two girls, with ice muscles and jade fat, buns in the clouds, willow leaves and curved eyebrows, phoenix eyes and red lips, and straight skirts, they were indeed beautiful women.

Han Xin waved his hand again and again, saying: "It is indeed a beauty, thank the emperor." ”

"It's as beautiful as Xi Shi and Nanwei, so I can enjoy it slowly." Liu Bang arched Han Xin, and said with a ruffian smile on his face, "Mrs. Han doesn't mind, right?" ”

Han Xin met Liu Bang's eyes at a glance, Liu Bang was looking at him with a smile and brushing his hair, Han Xin lowered his head and said indifferently, "She is very virtuous." ”

As soon as these words fell, Han Xin remembered that when he was drinking with Liu Bang, Liu Bang had flirted with his two maids, and seemed to have a good impression of these two beautiful women. Now Liu Bang suddenly rewarded him with two maids, one is still courteous, but not rude, second, it is better to be a favor, and third, it is better to do what he likes and please Liu Bang.

Han Xin smiled and pulled Liu Bang over, "The emperor rewarded the ministers with two beauties, and the ministers should have something in return." ”

Liu Bang looked surprised, and he didn't know what Han Xin meant, "Han Qing wants to ......"

Without waiting for Liu Bang to finish speaking, Han Xin brought the two beautiful ladies and asked them to stand in front of Liu Bang. Liu Bang saw the beautiful and delicious appearance of the two of them, and immediately had the intention of taking a concubine and being favored, and he spoke intermittently, staring at the two women with a smile, and the two seventeen or eighteen-year-old beauties were in front of him, and their flower-like smiles made Liu Bang's heart ripple, even if Mrs. Qi?

"Han Qing, what do you mean by this?" Liu Bang pointed at her with a smile and asked knowingly.

Han Xin nodded and smiled, "There are two beautiful people, clear and graceful." I also hope that the emperor will not shirk and accept these two people. ”

Liu Bang pointed at Han Xin with his finger and smiled with satisfaction, and Han Xin also smiled.

The two beauties walked out of Han Xin's mansion with Liu Bang and his party.

Just as he was about to get on the horse, Liu Bang remembered one more thing. Letting go of the reins, he strode to the doorman in front of the mansion and pointed at him and said to Han Xin, "This person should be the manager of the Qing family." ”

Han Xin didn't know what Liu Bang meant, and thanked him a little confused, "The minister should be promoted." Liu Bang nodded, strode back again, and got on the horse.

"The emperor walks slowly." Han Xin bowed his hand and looked at Liu Bang.

Han will ...... Han Qing go back. Liu Bang waved him back, ready to call General Han, remembered Han Xin's reminder, and changed his name to Han Qing.

Liu Bang rode his horse, walked away, and looked back at the two beautiful ladies behind him with a smile from time to time. Han Xin smiled.

Liu Bang had already walked away, and a man beside Han Xin said: "Master Hou, it seems that the emperor is still not at ease with you, and he actually sent two fine works." ”

Han Xin looked at Liu Bang's distant back, and the scene of following Liu Bang to fight the world appeared in front of him, Chu and Han for four years, war and strife, he broke Wei and Zhao for him to attack Yan and destroy Qi, and made great achievements, and finally he waved his army south to surround Xiang Yu with Liu Bang, and forced Xiang Yu to commit suicide in Wujiang, so that he was the founder of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin remembered the kindness of the Han King to him, undressed and fed, and successively named him a general, prime minister, Xiangguo, he can be said to be a prince and a general, at that time they were like siblings, Now he is a small Marquis of Huaiyin, also thanks to Liu Bang, twice deprived of military power, twice cut the king as a wait, and now Liu Bang is still under house arrest in Chang'an.

Han Xin recently sorted out the military book and also read Jiang Taigong's "Liutao", and he could use "Liutao: Zhongluo" to express his grievances about his own experience, and said with a deep sigh, "The high bird is exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the enemy country is broken, and the ministers are killed." The deceased, not to lose his body, is to seize his authority and abolish his power: seal it in the court, the position of the extremely minister, in order to show his merits; Zhongzhou is a good country to show its home; Beauty and beauty are treasured to say their hearts; The wives are united and cannot be separated, and the authority is one and cannot be moved. Returning the division to strike the army, the order of survival, so the weak take the position, and seize the country, which is the strategy of the hegemon. Therefore, the work of the hegemon, its argument is also. The Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons are good at borrowing benevolence and righteousness, and His Majesty still has the heart of the Five Hegemons, how can he not borrow benevolence and righteousness? ”

All the subordinates didn't understand what Han Xin said, they were all confused and didn't know what to do, Han Xin smiled, "Send the two of them to Madame's room to do things, and find an excuse to quit after a month." Han Xin was also afraid that Liu Bang would send him two fine works to spy on him, so he ordered the people on both sides to do so.

At this time, Han Xin may still have a trace of thoughts about Liu Bang, taking into account that Liu Bang had many benefits for him back then, Liu Bang couldn't see the figure from afar, Han Xin dragged a little tired body back to the house, he was sick, it was a very deep heart disease, he didn't know how Liu Bang would deal with him many years later, and his mood was complicated.

After the two maids that Han Xin gave to Liu Bang returned to the palace with Liu Bang and his party, Liu Bang instructed the father-in-law in charge to arrange them to work in the front hall of Changle Palace, and did not dare to lead them back to Changxin Palace or Yuzao Palace, or the palace of other ladies, he didn't want others to say that he would bring back two beautiful maids after going to Han Xin's mansion, he didn't want to hear that for the sake of the two women, the ladies and beauties made a lot of noise, he just wanted to enjoy it quietly, and try not to make trouble if he could. He didn't want the ministers to laugh at him for not being able to manage the harem well.

After dinner, Liu Bang did not go to Yuzao Palace, and came to the queen's Changxin Palace alone. This Changxin Palace is also very deserted, except for the queen is a few palace maids, there is no one else, and there is no other voice, such a cold and clear queen has become accustomed to.

In the huge palace, the bright candle flame was enchanting alone, and the queen was used to thinking that Liu Bang was not coming, so she lay down on the phoenix couch early, although she was lying down, she didn't fall asleep quickly, and she was still thinking about the things of the past few days.

Liu Bang came in, he also looked very tired, under the dim candlelight, his eyebrows were tightly locked, his eyes were full of anger, and behind his hands, he walked towards the queen's bedroom with deep steps.

"See the Emperor." The little palace maids saw Liu Bang and hurried to the ceremony.

Liu Bang shook his hand at them and told them to go down.

When Empress Lu heard movement outside, she pulled open the yarn, looked left and right, and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Liu Bang walked out from behind the pavilion, and smiled euphemistically at Empress Lu, but he couldn't hide his anger at all, "It's me." ”

Hearing that it was Liu Bang, Lu Hou didn't have time to dress up, so he had to put on a fluffy green silk, and hurriedly got up and put on his shoes to salute, "The concubine sees ......", before he finished speaking, Liu Bang walked over and helped Lu Hou up, "No courtesy." ”

Liu Bang carried Empress Lu back to the couch.

Empress Lu looked back at Liu Bang, a trace of joy ignited in her heart, Liu Bang came uninvited today, she was very happy, her head gently leaned on Liu Bang's broad shoulder, his shoulders were still warm and thick, and comforted herself, "As soon as the emperor comes, the concubines will not be deserted here." Empress Lu's face was still glowing with sweet joy.

Liu Bang sighed loudly, did not speak, and tilted his head weakly.

Lu Hou got up and looked at Liu Bang again, although it was accompanied by a dim light, Lu Hou could still see that there seemed to be some anger, some helplessness, and some murderous in his eyes. She knew that Liu Bang was in trouble again, so she took his hand and put it on her cheek.

"If the emperor encounters difficulties, he can tell his concubines, and the concubines will help you do it."

Liu Bang still didn't speak for a long time, took out the hand held by Empress Lu, got up and walked to the palace lamp, and picked the wick with a stick, and the candlelight became brighter.

Against the backdrop of the candle flame, he saw the queen's expectation, tenderness, and coquettishness, but at this time, he didn't want to take it, and turned his head to look at the flame of the demon, "Han Xin......"

"What's wrong with Han Shin?" Empress Lu subconsciously asked suddenly.

A sly chuckle appeared on Liu Bang's face at this time, and it soon disappeared.

"I heard that Han Xin was sick, and I went to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion to see him today, and Han Xin actually embarrassed me many times, first his doorman, and then himself. I remembered that he had worked hard with me to fight the world, and I also blamed myself for detaining him to Chang'an without any evidence, and demoting him to the Marquis of Huaiyin. He is proud of his achievements, and he doesn't take me seriously at all, hum. Liu Bang said calmly, his tone was full of resentment, he couldn't tell whether his words were true or false, he covered it up well, and said, "I tentatively asked him the reason why his former ministers rebelled against the central government one after another, and he said that it was the traitors and evil ministers in the court that caused me to be confused, so that I had the idea of destroying the rebellious courtiers, hum! Am I an ignorant monarch? Am I the so-called faint king? He was very calm, and the implication was that he had been framed. What happened back then was not groundless! The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he slapped his hand heavily on the candle stand, almost knocking the candle flame down.

Lu Hou frowned, bit his lip, his eyes turned left and right repeatedly, and he thought at Liu Bang's words: Han Xin is the founding hero who followed the emperor to fight the world, and half of the Han family was beaten down by him, and now he is proud of his achievements, and even the emperor wants to kill him, so why not push the boat down the river and let the emperor kill him, Zang Di, Han Wangxin rebelled one after another, maybe when Han Xin will be like them, after a hundred years of the emperor, Ying'er will not be afraid of not being able to suppress these founding fathers, just come to kill a hundred people.

Liu Bang happened to be observing Empress Lu's expression, he knew that Empress Lu must be thinking of something, and he smiled again.

"Your Majesty, Han Xingong is a master, quite a general, proficient in the art of war, and trains soldiers quickly, once he remembers that it is not difficult to soldier, why not find a chance to get rid of him? When Han Xin's resentment was brewing, he didn't move, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to suppress it at some point in the future. Lu Hou walked over and said to Liu Bang mysteriously, her eyes were full of murderous energy.

Liu Bang pretended to be stunned, looked back at the queen, and looked helpless, "How easy is it, once Han Xinju is immortal, he is a peerless countryman, and he is deeply loved by the people of the world; Second, Han Xin was not at fault, I used all the tricks to arrest him in Chang'an back then, and now I want to find an excuse to kill him casually, don't you leave a handle; Sanlai I started to kill heroes within a few years of becoming the emperor, what do you call the minister to think of me Liu Bang, from then on I am afraid that it is for self-preservation, and everyone has a rebellious heart. Also, how do I explain to the people of the world, and what reason do I have to fool the people? Killing him will never do. After Liu Bang finished speaking, he shook his head again and again, saying that he did not agree to kill Han Xin. Empress Lu didn't speak anymore, she heard the emperor's words and obviously wanted to kill Han Xin, but she was just forced by the public opinion of the ministers and the people.

Although Liu Bang thought it thoroughly, if he killed the heroes, the historian would definitely record it, and Liu Bang's reputation would not be destroyed by Han Xin. The two of them had their own plans in their hearts, and they looked up at each other at the same time, although they were speechless, but they were better than words.
