Chapter 9 Liu Bang has something on his mind
When the emperor was mourned, Liu Bang specially summoned Chen Feng back to Beijing to participate in the funeral ceremony of the emperor, and he had not seen Chen Feng or Chen Feng's envoy enter Beijing to make it clear in the past half a month, but the messenger sent by Liu Bang himself came back and said that Chen Feng was sick for several days and could not enter Beijing, and only this letter of condolence was brought back to Chang'an by the emperor's messenger. Liu Bang was immediately shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't help but keep filial piety by his side, and urgently summoned the civil and military to gather in the front hall to discuss the matter.
"Chen Feng doesn't want to enter Beijing, what is his desire?" Liu Bang, whose face was a little haggard, sat on the couch, and had been crying for the emperor for several days, and the pure white filial piety clothes showed Liu Bang's vicissitudes, but the eyes of that pair of spiritual eyes were eager and doubtful, and his eyes moved straight to the dozen or so civil and military bodies. Xiao He, who was dressed in a solemn white filial piety suit, went out of class and said, "Didn't Chen Xuan say that he was seriously ill?" The envoy sent by His Majesty did see Chen Feng lying sick on the bed, and the crime of bullying the king was not born, why did Chen Feng because of this? Liu Bang frowned and was silent, but there was deep thought in his eyes. Xinwu Marquis Jin She went out of class and said, "Not sooner or later at this time, he just checked him, he will not dare to enter Beijing with a weak heart, if the person with a weak heart is frightened, the emperor summoned him on the grounds of the funeral of the emperor and to no avail, he will be afraid of the emperor's suspicion of him and take risks." The ministers were noisy and agreed with Jin Shezhi's statement. "The emperor ordered the three armies, at this time, Chen Feng will also quietly prepare, if he captures the south of Heng Mountain, the Central Plains will be in danger." The ministers seconded.
Liu Bang got up and paced in contemplation, suddenly stopped, and pointed the pu fan in his hand at the ministers in the audience, his eyes were decisive but only a crisp word popped out, "Wait." Liu Bang thought that if Chen Feng was only on guard and had no objection, he would slowly revoke his military power and recall Chang'an; If it is really opposed, it is becoming famous. Liu Bang has grievances and self-deception in his heart, he doesn't want Chen Feng to oppose him, because he has followed him for many years, and he has been trusted to rest assured that he will stay at the border. The ministers heard the emperor say that they would wait, and after thinking about it carefully, they knew what the emperor meant, the emperor wanted to turn the active into passive, first, it was not clear whether Chen Feng really wanted to rebel, if he seized the military power at this time, he might shock Chen Feng and force him to rebel; Second, since ancient times, the counterinsurgency has always been famous, even if Liu Bang panicked about Chen Feng in his heart, he could only wait for the 'name' to arrive, the so-called battle, straight for the strong, Qu for the old, with the 'name', 'straight' to be strong; third, to transfer all the historical responsibility to Chen Feng, because of his rebellion, so he was killed.
Fang wanted to disperse the dynasty, Liu Bang explained to Xiao He with a strained face, "Tell the princes and kings of the world that the king will set up the Taishang Emperor Temple, and the day sacrifice will be in the bed, the moon will be sacrificed in the temple, and the four o'clock will be sacrificed in the side hall." His eyes immediately jumped to Tingwei again, "Liyang death row prisoners and below are all amnesty." Xiao He and Tingwei gave up their orders.
After the court meeting, Liu Bang went to the dormitory of the Emperor Taishang in ten thousand years, and looked at the smoke-filled dormitory outside, Liu Bang's filial piety heart moved again, his eyes flashed with tears, and he regretted not seeing the dying side of the emperor. Entering the temple with a solemn mood, he slowly came to the front of the emperor's spiritual seat, the tears on his wrinkled old face had already flowed down the road, and his eyes showed a light of guilt, "Father-", Liu Bang picked up the three coarse incense sticks on the case and lit them, bowed deeply to the Taishang Emperor's spiritual seat and inserted the three coarse incense sticks into the sand pocket, "The son is not filial." After that, he made a solemn kneeling salute, and kowtowed three times on the ground before being helped up by the palace people next to him. Liu Bang waved away from the palace people, sadly entered the apse dormitory, just arrived at the threshold of the foot stopped suddenly, just saw Lu back to Liu Bang sitting in the banquet to sort out the clothes of the emperor before his death, the clothes of spring, summer, autumn and winter were neatly folded by Lu Hou on the case, Lu Hou was not fast, but he was particularly attentive to each piece of clothing. Liu Bang looked at her back but felt very complicated in his heart, leaning his head against the wall and looking at Lu Hou quietly, but he heard Lu Hou seem to be crying and crying more and more sadly, his hands kept wiping his tears, and finally he lay on the case and cried bitterly. Liu Bang stood up straight, but still looked at Empress Lu with gloomy and stunned eyes, and after watching for a while, he didn't go in, and silently turned around and left the dormitory in Empress Lu's increasingly sad crying. When he went out of the temple, he only instructed the palace people with a gloomy expression, "Don't say that I have been here." With that, he left a lonely and sad back and slowly left.
Hearing that Liu Jian was sick, Liu Bang went to Linhua Palace, and the imperial doctor said that it was fine, and he left the medicine and went out. Liu Bang took a long breath and guarded by Liu Jian's couch, looking at his well-behaved and lovely son on the couch, Liu Bang had a smile, and he had been straining his face for the matter of the emperor for several days, but Liu Jian, who was sick today, won Liu Bang a smile. Liu Bang smiled at Liu Jian by beating his waist, and Mrs. Guan stood behind Liu Bang when she saw the situation, pinching his back and beating his back, and looked at her sleeping son on the couch and smiled happily, and said to Liu Bang, "You see Jian'er sleeping with frowns, like the emperor." "Hehe-" Liu Bang smiled, "Jian'er will be tired of state affairs in the future." "State affairs?" Mrs. Guan was subconsciously stunned, thinking that Liu Bang had something to say, Mrs. Guan immediately smiled and said, "It is appropriate to serve the country, and the emperor wants to help him." Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, and his eyes lit up and he knew that Mrs. Guan had misunderstood what he meant, and he smiled and corrected his meaning, "It's for his feudal country." Mrs. Guan's hand on her back suddenly stopped, with an embarrassed smile on her face, and she let out an absent-minded 'oh', and continued to beat her back, but she inadvertently beat Liu Bang, and Liu Bang whispered 'ouch' in pain, and Mrs. Guan came back to her senses, and her face turned blue with fright, "The concubine didn't mean it, the emperor, the emperor forgive me." Liu Bang only attached his hand and patted Mrs. Guan's hand.
Mrs. Guan's eyes were rolling and she was always paying attention to the changes in Liu Bang's face, and when she saw that he was relatively gentle, she said tentatively, "I heard that the prince poisoned the emperor?" Liu Bang smiled and said nothing, his face suddenly darkened, his eyes were already shining, and his teeth were clenched. Mrs. Guan pinched and said, "Filial piety is the foundation of virtue." The crown prince did such a rebellious thing to the emperor, why was the emperor indifferent? At home, this move is a homicide; In the country, this move is to kill the people, and Yu relatives and families are all guilty of sitting on the three chapters of His Majesty's covenant, doesn't His Majesty want to depose the prince? Why not just abolish him? Mrs. Guan ignored Liu Bang's face becoming more and more serious and angry, but she continued to dance with interest and added vinegar, "The prince of this way is virtuous, it turns out that his heart is so poisonous, how can such a prince be in charge of the country?" Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, King Zhao is similar to the emperor, and I wish the emperor to figure it. Liu Bang closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, and his serious tone seemed to order, "Women don't want to participate in politics!" Mrs. Guan pretended to be coquettish and disgusted with Liu Bang, "Your Majesty, you have to choose your heir carefully, how can a person who poisoned the Emperor be the prince, how can he rule the world?" ”
"Shut up!" Liu Bang got up 'swish', shook off Mrs. Guan's hands that pinched his back, and shook Mrs. Guan a foot away, almost falling, Mrs. Guan looked at Liu Bang in a daze, swallowed saliva but couldn't speak. Liu Bang turned around and looked at Mrs. Guan angrily and scolded, "Open your mouth and close your mouth The prince was poisoned, which eye did you see that he was poisoned?" Even if he is poisoned, I will deal with him, and it is your turn to interject? "But he just put too much aconite and caused the emperor to die, don't you want to abolish him?" You're wasted! Mrs. Guan didn't know where she got the courage and courage to argue with Liu Bang, and jumped in front of Liu Bang in one step, stared at him with her eyes, and got on the bar with Liu Bang.
"Slap-", Liu Bang's loud slap on Mrs. Guan's left face, Liu Bang used too much force to knock Mrs. Guan to the ground, Mrs. Guan's face suddenly had five red handprints, a slap made Mrs. Guan stunned on the ground, and at the same time a slap woke up Liu Jian, who was sleeping on the couch, 'Wow Wow' cried, but the two of them didn't care about Liu Jian, who was crying. Liu Bang glared at Mrs. Guan with a red face, and scolded again, "The Emperor Taishang has just been gone for a few days, and you have been making a lot of noise, don't let me hear bad things about the prince from your mouth in the future, and dare to mention to others that the prince plotted to kill the emperor, I will not spare you." Rest by yourself! After saying that, he only glanced at Liu Jian, who was crying on the couch, and angrily passed by Mrs. Guan, threw off his wide robe and big sleeves and walked out of the hall.
"You just yelled at me, and when you saw the Qi family and the Lu family, you were afraid, and if I died, I would give you a quiet time." Mrs. Guan's angry and complaining words drifted from the hall to Liu Bang's ears, and Liu Bang only covered his ears irritably and walked towards the Yuzao Palace.
