Liu Bang waved Zhao Yao away, got up and frowned and walked towards the Yuzao Palace. Thinking about who to call to Helan to guard, Fan Xu was about to set off for Daidi again, in October, Fan Xu was afraid that someone would take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble when the wine was not celebrated, so he quietly returned to Chang'an with more than 100 soldiers. Now the banquet of the wine has long ended, Fan Hao stayed in Chang'an to help inspect the safety of the Beijing Division, and accompanied the emperor to various places to observe the people's feelings, not long ago, Fan Hao himself proposed to go to the place to see, when he left, he hurriedly said to General Chen Feng and came back, Chen Feng was alone in the land, although there were other generals, although Chen Feng supervised the border soldiers of the two countries of the Zhao Dynasty, but the Xiongnu was an untrustworthy country, maybe when he would secretly attack the counties near the land, when Chen Feng led troops to attack, fell into the trap of the Xiongnu and was occupied by the Xiongnu, which gave all the northern part of the Han Dynasty to the Xiongnu. Fan Xu himself also promised Chen Xuan to come back as soon as possible, so a few days ago, he asked the emperor to go to the country for a trip.

The two of them were the garrison generals of Chang'an at this time, and they couldn't do without them. Li Shang was now sent to Liyang Palace to serve as the guard of the Emperor Taishang. Han Xin has lived in the mansion for many years, and it seems that he is much more indifferent not to participate in political affairs, and it is even more impossible for him. Shen Tujia is not bad, he can fight and be good at riding and shooting, Liu Bang's face was happy, but he immediately thought that his character was very unsuitable, this person was too generous, although he was noble and modest, but he didn't know how to act with the changes in the environment, he didn't know how to do things, he was a good candidate to march and fight, if he stayed in the camp every day as a general to defend the enemy, I was afraid that it was not a job he could do. I thought about a lot of people in my heart, but in the end, there was no suitable one.

When he came to Yuzao Palace, Ruyi rushed out with a sword in his hand, shouting and shouting, and happened to collide head-on with Liu Bang under the steps. Liu Bang grabbed Ruyi and asked him where he was going, Ruyi's 'hehe-he' smile bent his black eyes, and said that he was going out to practice swords, his face was sweating profusely as if he was going out just after he came back. Liu Bangcai turned from the tedious contemplation just now to laugh, holding his shoulders and about to speak, Mrs. Qi panted and chased out of the inner hall, holding a small whip in her hand, and shouted in her mouth, "Stop you, crazy all day......" Fang went down the steps and saw the emperor coming, hurriedly threw the whip in his hand far aside, and hurriedly went down the steps to salute Liu Bang. Liu Bang waved his hand, pulled Ruyi back to the hall and sat on the mat, hugged him in his arms, and his beautiful beard stabbed Ruyi's smiling face, he poked his head out from under Liu Bang's beautiful beard, grabbed Liu Bang's beautiful beard and blinked his eyes like a bright spring and said, "The father's beard is pierced to his son." ”

Liu Bang pinched his face instead, "You want to run in again?" See how your mother chases you? Why don't you listen to your mother? Didn't Taifu call you the way of benevolence and filial piety? ”

Ruyi really raised her head to look at Mrs. Qi who was standing opposite, and saw her mother looking at her with a gloomy face, and was finally forced back by Mrs. Qi's complaining and angry eyes, and looked at Liu Bang with innocent black eyes, muttering, "Uh——,mm." Ruyi didn't say anything, only nodded, but confused Liu Bang, "Well, what?" ”

"Honor your parents." Ruyi played with the corners of his clothes and replied casually.

Mrs. Qi sat opposite Liu Bang, showing a little complaint about Ruyi in a helpless manner, pointing at Ruyi, "It's so troublesome, I'm not in the palace all day, I have to send someone to find it every time, and every time I come back, it's dirty." When I asked him what the Four Books and the Five Classics were, he didn't know. Saying that, he seemed to complain to Liu Bang.

Liu Bang smiled, a thought flashed in his heart, but he couldn't laugh anymore. Ruyi is not a way to mix like this, and now Ruyi is not small, the prince Liu Ying has been studying in the prince's palace in recent months, and it is rare to see him come out and walk around, and he has the demeanor of a prince. But looking at Ruyi, he is still childlike, very immature, and he can't even understand the meaning of his words. In this comparison, the ministers all saw that the prince was a hundred times stronger than Ruyi.

Liu Bang pretended to be gloomy and reprimanded Ruyi with a gloomy face, "If you don't study in the future, my father will send you to Liyang Palace and never see you again." ”

"Liyang Palace? Where is the imperial grandfather? Ruyi muttered, raised his neck and looked at Liu Bang, pouting his mouth with resentment and said unhappily, "It's better to send me to the Huns." ”

Liu Bang and Qi Ji looked at each other and looked at each other. Liu Bang swallowed his saliva when he couldn't answer, thinking that Ruyi was really slippery. Qi Ji took a deep breath of dejection, her body softened, and she shook her head at Ruyi with her chin in one hand, and she no longer knew how to persuade Ruyi. Ruyi 'giggled-' and laughed non-stop in Liu Bang's arms, and tried his best to sell a smile at his mother, but he was amusing Mrs. Qi, who was angry, "Okay, okay, let's go play." Qi Jilisuo got up and dragged him out of Liu Bang's arms, complaining and telling him to leave, waving at him as if he didn't want to see him again, "Let's go, don't bother me." ”

Ruyi was pulled out by Qi Ji all of a sudden, and immediately lost his smiling face and was put aside, and he didn't dare to leave immediately, pouting, and looking at Liu Bang innocently with round black eyes, Liu Bang lowered his head and pretended to ignore it. Look at Qi Ji, Qi Ji is angry with a gloomy face. Looking at Jing Tian behind Qi Ji, Jing Tian shrugged his shoulders and signaled that there was no way. Looking at Xiuyue, Xiuyue hurriedly pretended to wipe the dust. His eyes looked at a circle of people, and no one refused to help him say good things, Ruyi lost the interest in playing at this time, and put the sword on the ground without speaking or moving, and the hall fell silent for a moment. "Then, I have to study with the prince's brother, does my father agree?" Ruyi stood in place with his head bowed, a pair of small hands behind his back as if admitting his mistake, and glanced at the emperor and Qi Ji pitifully talking about the conditions.

Liu Bang and Qi Ji glanced at each other again, and finally agreed after a little difficulty, let Ruyi try it first, and then talk about it if it doesn't work. Ruyi was happy again and went out to play happily.

Qi Ji ordered Jing Tian to take out the game of Go, wanted to play a game with the emperor, set up the chess pieces, and played halfway, but saw Liu Bang frowning and absent-mindedly often making the wrong chess pieces. Qi Ji put the chess pieces in a satisfactory position, glanced at the worried Liu Bang, and asked him what was the matter as if he didn't care. Liu Bang didn't want to talk about these things in the palace in the harem, but he was really panicked, so he told Qi Ji about choosing to guard Helan, but he didn't think that Qi Ji could say any useful ideas, and he should relieve his depression.

Qi Ji turned her black eyes smoothly after hearing this, thought carefully for a long time, and put the chess pieces on the chessboard at random without caring about the chess game on the chessboard, but she didn't know that she had actually won a game. Suddenly, his heart lit up, and his joy jumped on his face, but he didn't dare to show too much, so he glanced at Liu Bang, who looked depressed, knowing that he didn't want the harem to participate in political affairs, and when he thought that this plan might help Ruyi, he dared to test it, "There is a choice in the heart of the concubine, the concubine." ”

Liu Bang didn't care too much about Qi Ji's ideas, and he wasn't ready to accept her ideas in his heart, so he simply didn't have the heart to play chess, so he asked her to listen to it by the way.

Qi Ji said in a straight way, "Helan is a small county, so there is no need to send any generals to it." General Guo Ting originally guarded Yulin, but now he is guarding Helan and strengthening the fortress, so there must be no big problem. Pretending to ponder for a moment, then he deliberately glanced at the emperor who was waiting for her to speak, and threw bricks to draw his own thoughts, "Why don't you send the crown prince?" ”

"Prince?" Liu Bang was surprised and said casually, he didn't think about asking Liu Ying to guard Helan at all, and he suddenly looked puzzled. After thinking about it for a long time, he stared at Qi Ji and admonished, "The prince is still young, he has never experienced the matter of swords and horses, and he has no experience in military combat, if he is a little careless, he ......" Speaking of this, Liu Bang probably understood Qi Ji's words, and looked at her sideways with a cold and serious gaze and whispered secretly, "Do you have other plans?" ”

Qi Ji looked calm and calm, "Your Majesty is wrong, it is the prince's youth that shows his tiger spirit." The prince has never led troops, so he has to take this opportunity to train well, is it possible for the prince to be a Confucian student, talk about big truths and guard the world? There are inevitably several princes within the four seals, if Your Majesty asks the elegant prince to suppress the princes after a hundred years? Haven't your Majesty heard that the sons of ancient monarchs were all good at war? Zhao Wuling's original crown prince Zhao Zhang was fifteen years old and followed his father to conquer the city, first Zhang Ao, the son of Zhao King Zhang Er, didn't he collect soldiers to the north to rescue his father in Julu City when Zhang Han besieged Julu? What's more, the crown prince is the prince of a country, will the little Helan who guards him be frightened and retreat? If you can't guard Helan, why should you be the prince? ”

Liu Bang didn't feel happy, and immediately thought of Shen Sheng, the prince of Jin Xian in the Spring and Autumn Period, who also suffered a catastrophe because he went out to lead troops, and now Liu Ying's experience is similar to Shen Sheng. Liu Bang knew that Qi Ji was anxious to get rid of the prince, and Liu Bang was not angry at Qi Ji's words, but analyzed for Qi Ji, "The prince, the building of the country, the heir of the society." Jun Xing, the prince lives, and the country is also supervised; Jun Xing, the prince from, to Fu Jun also. Now I live and the prince is walking, and there is no such thing. Everyone understands this, how do I explain to the world, I am not Jin Xiangong, the prince is not Shensheng, and the prince has the queen's protection, this move is not easy. ”

Qi Ji was dumbfounded for a long time, and argued vigorously, "How did the law in ancient times bind today's things, it was not easy to open the country, and it was not peaceful within the four seals, and those who were capable used it." Helan was cowardly, His Majesty has no generals to send, can the prince bear Helan to be surrendered to the Huns? The matter of the prince has been disputed, how can the prince not show his talent to protect the mountains and rivers and win the favor of the courtiers? ”

The more Liu Bang said this, the more confused he became, but Qi Ji said it for the good of the prince. Liu Bang stared at Qi Ji in disbelief and disbelief, "What does Madam think?" I can't guess. ”

Qi Ji didn't dare to relax, and took advantage of the situation to ask, "Does Your Majesty send the crown prince?" ”

The hall was silent for a long time, only smelling a dull atmosphere, and it took a long time to hear that Liu Bang was not confident enough to promise, "I'll try it." ”

Qi Ji smiled and grabbed Liu Bang's hand, "Your Majesty is reluctant." Liu Bang smiled bitterly, sighed, and instructed Qi Ji, "Ruyi should restrain his naughty habits." ”

"Self, concubines should be taught."
