Chen Ping temporarily ordered Li Shang and Shen Tujia to lead the army to pursue the soldiers of Tu Bu for Liu Bang, and went to Yongcheng to take care of Liu Bang, who was seriously ill. Doctor Yongcheng treated Liu Bang every inch for three days and nights, and Liu Bang had no worries about his life. On this day, Liu Bang woke up and saw the eldest prince Liu Fei napping in front of the couch, looking tired, Liu Bang didn't know how many days he had been in a coma, but he knew in his heart that Liu Fei must not leave the couch to take care of him. Liu Fei also woke up, and when he saw that his father had woken up, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but his eyes immediately turned red, and he held his father's arm and said, "Father Emperor Changle Weiyang, Red Emperor blesses him, and there is no big problem in the end, fortunately." My father wanted to eat too much, so I ordered someone to do it. "Porridge." Liu Bang's face was not bloody, and he smiled and said a porridge word to Liu Fei. Liu Fei was overjoyed, and happily sent people to make white porridge. At this time, Liu Bang felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his face looked uncomfortable, thinking that Di Bu shot an arrow at him, Liu Bang rushed to his head with anger, and scolded with a red cheek, "It's not good to shoot, deflect here." Liu Fei hurriedly persuaded Liu Bang not to be angry, and said that the protector Chen Ping had ordered Li Shang and Shen Tujia to lead the army to pursue the Di Bu soldiers. Liu Bang was puzzled and scolded, "The cloth is not dead, and I can't sleep well." ”

Liu Bang was angry and shot an arrow at himself, and he couldn't help but feel a lot in his heart, and he seemed to be unable to distinguish between loyalty and disloyalty to the courtiers in the world, thinking that it was not the Spring and Autumn Warring States period where 'the country has no fixed ministers, and the soldiers have no permanent monarchs', why the courtiers fought against him one by one. Huang Bu is reversed, Liu Bang doesn't know who will oppose him next, and who else is trustworthy, who is not the king who is against him, Liu Bang sighed, and suddenly thought of Xiao He sitting in Guanzhong at this time, Liu Bang's face changed greatly, when Han Xin almost used Guanzhong as a base to raise troops, Liu Bang was really not sure whether Xiao He would be like this, because Xiao He was above 10,000 people under one person, Liu Bang thought about it, now is not yesterday, I don't know if Xiao He will change his mind. Liu Bang immediately called Liu Fei's messenger in, and when the messenger came into the house, Liu Bang ordered them to bring jewelry back to Guanzhong to comfort Xiao He. Liu Fei knew what it meant, and it happened that the white porridge had been made, and Liu Fei personally served his father. Liu Bang ate and recalled, and the messenger sent to Guanzhong came back to report to Liu Bang that Guanzhong was calm, and Xiao He still encouraged the people to produce and work in Guanzhong as before, and donated his family funds to the military camp, as if Chen Feng was in the past. Liu Bang was slightly overjoyed and drank the white porridge cleanly. Liu Fei raised his father's pillow, Liu Bang stroked his chest, knowing that his physical condition was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't help but have a lot of negative feelings, but his mind suddenly changed his thinking, and complained about the prince Liu Ying, if it weren't for Liu Ying's weakness and incompetence, how could Liu Bang himself risk going out with illness at a young age, and how could he suffer an arrow from Huang Bu. Liu Bang was full of anger and gathered on the prince's body, but Ruyi's liveliness jumped in front of him, and Liu Bang's heart to change the reserve boiled again.

"Do you miss your mother?" Liu Bang asked Liu Fei.

Liu Fei was stunned for a moment and replied, "I hate that I was late, my mother left early, and I can't kneel in front of me to fulfill my filial piety." ”

"Do you want your mother to be buried in Changling?"

Liu Fei looked at Liu Bang, didn't know how to answer, and wanted his mother to be buried in a grand manner, but he was jealous, so he frowned and gritted his teeth and didn't answer.

"I will issue an edict on the same day to move your mother to the Changling Tomb in Guannei, and I will protect her." Liu Bang said.

Liu Fei thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "No, my mother is buried alone in Changling, and my mother is bound to be resentful." ”

"I am the emperor, why am I afraid of a woman? Your mother died unblessed, buried in Pei County, I lived, and your mother's spirit could move safely. ”

Liu Fei was slightly happy and thanked his father. Liu Bang said, "It just so happens that this expedition is close to my hometown, and I am going to go back to Pei County to meet your fellow villagers, and take advantage of this to arrange your mother's burial." Liu Fei thanked his father again.

It is said that the confessor returned to the customs to express his condolences to Xiao He, and Xiao He asked the emperor how the situation was, whether the rebels of the Yellow Cloth were defeated, and when the emperor would return to the court. In a word: everything is going well. Xiao He has been a little happy in handling government affairs in the customs in the past few days, because the emperor has continuously sent people back to the customs to comfort him, and he feels that the emperor attaches importance to himself. When the courtiers asked this, they all respected Xiao He. Only a doorman named Qianjia came to the door on this day and said, "The day of the extermination of the Jun family is near." Xiao He was shocked, hurriedly asked the reason, and invited Jinzhijia to sit down. Ji Jia said, "The Jun family is in the position of Xiangguo, can it still be sealed?" In the past, you won the hearts of the people when you first entered the customs, and for more than ten years, the people have all attached themselves to you. You are diligent, kind to the people, deeply loved, Your Majesty has repeatedly sent people to comfort you, but I am afraid that you will shock Guanzhong. Han Xin was afraid that your prestige would be too high, and you couldn't resist the temptation, after all, the Liu family's country was not easy to come by, and after experiencing the matter of the cloth, Your Majesty had long dared not believe in people easily. Now that Your Majesty is outside, I am very worried that the Jun family will raise troops accordingly. Xiao He hurriedly stopped talking and said, "I have been with His Majesty for more than ten years, so I won't have this." "I hope that Xiao Xiangguo will think about the previous things carefully, and he will understand in his heart whether what he said is true." Xiao He thought about it for a while, and remembered that in order to dispel Liu Bang's doubts that day, Xiao He sent his family's brothers and nephews to Liu Bang's military camp, and Liu Bang was happy; At the time of Chen Feng's incident, in order to dispel Liu Bang's doubts, Xiao He filled all his family assets into the army, Xiao He already knew that Liu Bang did not trust him, but it was just that the two monarchs and ministers raised troops in Pei County, and they treated each other with all sincerity, Xiao He or Liu Bang would not be like this. Xiao He was deeply touched by what Qianjia said today, and Xiao He immediately asked, "So, what can I do about it?" Qianjia leaned over to Xiao He and said, "I hope that Xiangguo will buy cheap and cheap land, the more the better, so as to defile himself, the emperor is happy." Xiao He was stunned, he was very reluctant in his heart, and he had no other way to think about it, so he had to agree silently. After a few days, Xiao He didn't deal with government affairs, but he asked people to buy millions of acres of land under the banner of Xiangguo, and for a while, the people in the customs were full of complaints about Xiao He. Empress Lu and the prince have heard a lot about Xiao He's actions today, and summoned Xiao He into the palace to ask in detail, Xiao He was bitter in his heart, and he didn't want to say much so he said that he was sick and retired, and before leaving, Empress Lu and the prince both advised Xiao He to handle the prime minister's government affairs well, return the people's farmland, and don't disturb the people, Xiao He retreated. In the future, it will not stop buying cheap people's land, and Empress Lu and the prince will sigh that the name of Xiao He Xianxiang is not guaranteed.

For more than ten days, Xiao Heqiang's purchase of cheap land reached Liu Bang's ears, and Liu Bang was secretly happy. When Fang Xi, Liu Fei came in to say that Guan Ying defeated the army of Huainan Shangzhu and Da Sima, and met the troops of the other general Fei Zhu of Huang Bu on the south bank of the Huai River. Liu Bang was overjoyed and said, 'Good'. Between Fang Xi, a soldier reported to Liu Bang, "General Li and General Shentu have defeated Duwei Louban and General Liang Fuhou, and the Huainan army has been defeated and is heading south." Liu Bang waved his retreat, thinking that Tu Bu was going to be defeated, even if he fled to Changsha or Yuedi, it would be no hindrance, he had already deployed everything.

In the past few days, Liu Bang ordered farewell to continue to pursue the soldiers of Tubu, and ordered the army to pack boxes and collect flags, and ordered to go back to Xiangpei County.

Liu Bang sent half of the soldiers back to Beijing, and led half of the soldiers back to his hometown Pei County. When the people of Pei County heard that Gaozu had returned to their hometown, they were all overjoyed, vying to see the various changes after the original scoundrel Liu Ji became the emperor Liu Bang. Pei County Commander led the people to wait at the entrance of the village early, and found that the emperor's army was only 500 meters away from here, and the county commander immediately ordered people to beat drums and play, beaming with joy, and ordered people to prepare cattle, sheep and pig wine to immediately entertain the emperor's army, and the village was busy outside the village.

Suddenly, "Your Majesty returns to your hometown-", not far away, a long line of black pressure slowly advanced, the flag was half rolled, and the horn was loud. The first is Li Shang and Jin She, the two of them are high-headed horses as outposts, followed by the emperor's horn team and flag team, followed by the emperor's Chinese chariot with Qingluo umbrella cover, there are six guards riding high-headed horses on the right side of the car, and the whole army is majestic and majestic. Approaching, the eunuch who played the outpost screamed again, 'Kneel-', and suddenly the people of Pei County knelt on the ground in the dark, only to feel the dust around them, and only heard the emperor's Qingluo umbrella cover car 'squeak and squeak' slowly drove by. There was an old man in the crowd who felt strange in his heart, and secretly glanced up at the emperor's honor guard, and the ministers dismounted and surrounded the emperor's chariot and asked the emperor to get off. The eunuch held the curtain, and the horse pawn brought the pier and placed it next to the car, and Liu Bang coughed lightly in the car and went out of the car, and was slowly dismounted by the eunuch. The old man's eyes widened, and he muttered, "I remember your nickname Liu Ji, and I owe my family three buckets of rice." Liu Bang saw the people kneeling, and hurriedly told everyone to get up, Liu Bang greeted the elders in the village one by one and the people who played well with him when they were young, and when they arrived in front of the old man, the old man calmly gave Liu Bang a calm face, "The old man Xiahou ci, see the emperor." Liu Bang laughed, held the old man's hand and said, "Uncle Xiahou, Liu Ji owes you three buckets of rice to bring you today, presumably you used to scold me often, right?" I brought you more than three buckets of rice today. The old man felt rude, so he solemnly bowed and was helped up by Liu Bang. The old man said, "The old man Xiahou only needs three buckets of rice from my family, and the rest is not much." Liu Bangjunchen and all the people of Pei County laughed. Subsequently, the county order invited Liu Bang to rest in the village, and everyone divided labor, tied the horse to feed, washed and changed clothes, and set up a table to eat. That night, Pei County sang and danced, Liu Bangjunchen was invited by the people of Pei County to the village courtyard to drink and chat, and there were more girls dancing in the courtyard. Liu Bang and the county's fathers and elders pushed the cup to change the cup, and when it was over, everyone gradually dispersed, and Pei County returned to quiet.
