In the cold night sky, there was only the faint and vague figure of the waning moon, and gusts of cold wind whistled across Chang'an City. Xiao He and his attendant walked one after another, the servant saw Xiao He's face hesitant and worried, and sighed from time to time but didn't say a word, the servant opened his mouth but didn't dare to say anything, but carefully turned on the headlight for Xiao He all the way. Xiao He didn't dare to go fast or didn't want to go fast, his heart was uncomfortable, he knew that maybe Han Xin's life was about to end in his own hands, Han Xin was recommended to Liu Bang by himself, and he watched Han Xin single-handedly achieve today's Han Dynasty, and now he may die only because of the enemy's secret report, but Xiao He can't save him, because he is the prime minister, because the prime minister's responsibility and the country's safety. Xiao He's heart was as eager as an eyebrow, his hands had been tightly clasped together, no matter how fast or slow he was, he had to ask Han Xin to enter the palace tonight, Xiao He gritted his teeth and sped up and went to Han Xin's mansion.

The little servant stepped forward to knock on the door but was pushed open by the night watchman outside the door of Han Xin's mansion, the little servant put aside the palace lamp and rushed forward to find them to theorize, between the noisy and quarrelsome between the two sides, Xiao He stepped forward quietly from behind, and had already taken out the prime minister's sign from his waist and hung it in front of the night watchman outside the door of Han Xin's mansion, and suddenly they knelt down and pressed a person, Xiao He went straight inside to find Han Xin without words. After crossing the backyard and meeting the night watchman, Xiao He said his name, and the night watchman hurried to Han Xin, but Xiao He felt that Han Xin's mansion was really strange, and the guards were serious and serious, comparable to the Praetorian Guards in the palace.

Han Xin was stunned when he heard that Xiao He was coming, and immediately lost his sleepiness, and nervously and eagerly asked the night watchman Xiao He if he had led thousands of horses and thousands of troops, the night watchman said that there was only Xiao He and his servants, Han Xin relaxed slightly, and asked the night watchman if he knew Xiao He's intention, and the night watchman said he didn't know. Han Xin had doubts and asked the night watchman to stand back, he lit the lamp, took a robe from the shelf and came out to greet Xiao He, Xiao He was standing in the middle of the empty courtyard, the cold seal was filled with Xiao He's clothes and satin, but Xiao He stood motionless like a pine and cypress in the cold year, Han Xin saw Xiao He's eyes full of vicissitudes from the yellow light of the night watchman, and there was a slight trace of shame, but it soon became the usual solemnity and solemnity, old and serious, and capable. Han Xin hurried down the steps with a 'ahh Han Xin opened his hand to Xiao He to make a gesture of invitation. Xiao He also shook slightly, "Disturb the general late at night, forgive your sins." ”

Han Xin invited Xiao He to the banquet, and Han Xin wanted to ask his subordinates to cook food and wine, but Xiao He stopped him, and Xiao He said that only the two of them could chat freely. Han Xin only ordered a pot of tea and poured one for Xiao He, Xiao He absentmindedly said thank you and thought about how to start. Han Xin saw that Xiao He always had a solemn face but it was not easy to inquire clearly, thinking in his heart that if it was a matter in the court, there were many ministers to discuss, Xiao He did not need to come to him in person late at night, if it was related to him, Xiao He's expression had a calm calmness and calmness. Han Xin took a sip of tea suspiciously, then said to Xiao He, "The prime minister will not come here late at night for no reason, there will be something to come, please say it." Xiao He was stunned, looked up at Han Xin, let out an 'oh' on his face a little softened, and smiled perfunctorily, "Since the general is straight to the point, I will also make it clear." ”

"Prime Minister, please speak."

"The general knows about the rebellion of Chen Xiandai, right?"

Han Xin Huo Ran raised his head and glanced at Xiao He, he was very confused, but he held the tea cup in both hands, his body unconsciously straightened up, smiled dryly, and replied to Xiao He's words very calmly, "I heard it, I don't know." "Ahh Xiao He nodded knowingly, but there was a firmness in the calm and easy old eyes, and he immediately said happily to Han Xin, "The general may not know that the confessor entered Beijing in the afternoon to report that the emperor had led the army to quell the rebellion of Chen Xuan, and that Chen Xuan had been slashed and killed on the battlefield by our army, and some of the soldiers had returned to Chang'an, and the emperor would also return to the city tonight." The prince prepared a banquet to welcome the emperor's triumph, and all the ministers had already arrived, and the prince hoped that the general would attend the meeting for the emperor's triumph. Han Xin stared at Xiao He suspiciously and defensively for a long time but did not say anything, the yellowish candlelight jumped up and down on Han Xin's face in Xiao He, and the half of their faces illuminated by the candlelight each had a slight tension and firmness and calmness, Han Xin planned in his abdomen for a long time, and still rejected Xiao He very calmly, "The emperor's personal expedition is really powerful, the minister said hello to the emperor, but the minister is in poor health, no matter winter or summer, when it comes to the night, he will feel cold to the bone, and he only prays for the warm light of the sun to shine on me every day during the banquet to relieve the cold at night." If it weren't for respecting the prime minister, the minister would be sick to see you on the couch at this time, and the minister would really not be able to enter the palace. Xiao He seemed to have thought that Han Xin would say this, so he continued Han Xin's words without thinking, "The general is the minister, the emperor is the king, the emperor risked his life to conquer Chen Xuan, how can the general worry about a little illness every day." All the ministers entered the palace, but the general did not enter due to illness, for fear that the emperor would have an opinion on you. The general knows that the Marquis of Qingyang sucks, right? The prince was permanently disabled in one leg due to being bitten by a wild beast, but when he heard the news of the emperor's triumph, he was the first to enter the palace regardless of his leg disease, but the general shirked several times because of a minor illness. The prince knew that the general would not attend the meeting, so the minister asked Ying to say that he would be able to invite the general into the palace. Xiao He gave Han Xin a look with a moving expression, "General, although you are sick, can't you force your body to enter the palace to congratulate?" If the emperor returns, he will inevitably have a complaint against you. ”

Han Xin was slightly moved, holding the teacup in both hands and pondering for a long time, Han Xin said that he had always trusted Xiao He, what made Han Xin wonder was why Chen Feng didn't send someone to report the news, could Liu Bang really be so powerful that he could put down the rebellion in two months? Why don't you know the news that Chen Feng was pacified? Han Xin looked at Xiao He with a puzzled face, Xiao He is his own nobleman, because of his promotion to achieve his own princely general experience, he should not be a fool, and Liu Bang should indeed enter the palace to congratulate him when he quelled the rebellion, Han Xin knew that he was indeed rude.

Xiao He saw Han Xin's puzzled and cautious face, and in order to dispel his doubts and relieve the heaviness, he turned to Han Xin and said with a smile, "If you disturb the general late at night, Mrs. Han won't blame me, right?" Han Xin woke up and smiled stunned, waved his hand and said, "Ning Ning thought about her father and mother, and took Shi'er to her father's mother." Xiao He smiled, "Then can we go?" Han Xin was hesitant and reluctant, and he couldn't bear Xiao He's constant polite invitation to him, so he nodded and responded to Xiao He. Han Xin deliberately went into the house to change into thick clothes, and when he left, he left a message that the servant himself would only be in the palace for one hour at most, and not let others enter the mansion casually, and followed Xiao He after giving a little instructions to the mansion.
