Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the spring and March of the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty.

It was also in this winter that many of the problems left over from the Han family had basically reached their final end.

——In the winter and December of the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, Chen Xuan, the rebellious prime minister, was finally defeated by Fan Hui and Zhou Bo in Lingqiu, and was pursued and killed by Gongsun Er of Langzhong;

At this point, the rebellion of the prime minister Chen Xuan, which lasted for more than a year, finally came to an end.

On behalf of Zhao Yiping, the official edict of 'enshrined Liu Heng, the fourth son of the emperor, as the acting king', was issued from Changle Palace, and the proposal of sealing all the princes and princes and kings also appeared in the Chang'an court.

Regarding this matter, the courtiers and officials wisely did not discuss it too much, and Liu Bang, the son of heaven, did not put on a posture of 'no longer discussing'.

In the first month of the spring of the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the son of heaven, issued an edict: Liu Hui, the fifth son of the emperor, was the king of Liang, Liu You, the sixth son of the emperor, was the king of Huaiyang, and Liu Chang, the seventh son of the emperor, was the king of Yan.

As for the youngest son, that is, the feudal time of Liu Jian, the eighth son of the emperor, he was temporarily shelved by Liu Bang as 'too young'.

A few days later, Liu Bang issued an edict again: Liu Xizi, Marquis of Heyang, Liu Bi, Gongren and brave, meritorious to the country, can be a pillar of design, and was named the king of Wu, ruling the three counties and fifty-three cities of the ancient Jing State, all of which are Guangling.

At this point, Liu Bang, the son of heaven, cleared the forces of the princes with different surnames in the Kwantung region, and finally obtained a result that satisfied the Chang'an court.

- The three kingdoms of Yan, Dai, and Zhao in the north, each with three princes, all of them became clan vassal states;

The three kingdoms of Liang, Huaiyang, and Qi in the Central Plains were also ruled by three princes, and were completely included in the actual territory of the Han family;

As for Wu (Jing), Chu, Huainan, Changsha and other countries in the south, although not all of them are princes, there are also two prime-aged clansmen of Chu Liu Jiao and Wu Wang Liu Bi as kings, plus Huainan Kingdom, which is likely to be left to the emperor's youngest son Liu Jian, and Wu Chen, the king of Changsha······

At this point, the Han family's control of the Kanto region has reached the peak since the establishment of the Han family!

Now the king in Kanto is the younger brother, nephew, and son of Liu Bang, the son of heaven; In the future, he will become Liu Ying's uncle, cousin, and younger brothers.

The problem of 'the Kwantung princes rebelling every year', which had plagued the Han family for nearly ten years, has been best solved so far.

After the princes were crowned kings, it was a new problem, which was placed in front of the Chang'an court.

- Liu Chang, the seventh son of the emperor, was named the king of Yan, which means that Lu Xuan, the former king of Yan, was 'expelled' from the ranks of the princes by Liu Bang, the son of heaven.

In this way, the attention of the Chang'an court was all concentrated in Yan Country at the beginning of spring.

What reassured the court of Chang'an was: I don't know if I felt guilty about Liu Bang, when facing the army led by Fan Hui and Zhou Bo, Lu Xuan, the king of Yan, who was no longer recognized by the Han family, did not resist too violently, but walked while fighting, running all the way towards the junction of Han and Hungary.

In the spring and February, Lu Xuan, the king of Yan, who escaped from the Yan capital Jiyi and ran for several months, finally led the remnants to flee to the north of the Great Wall.

But after escaping from the Great Wall, Lu Juan did not continue to flee north, but stopped at the root of the Great Wall and asked someone to hand over a letter of indictment.

It's just that the letter of incrimination was not handed to Liu Bang.

- Because since the first month of the Spring Festival, after using his last energy to issue the edict that crowned the princes as kings, Liu Bang, the son of heaven, no longer has the strength to get up from the sickbed and deal with the major affairs of the court······

·

"Ahem, cough, cough, ······"

"Boom!"

"Boom!!, boom

The old man coughed violently, which made the already busy palace people in the palace even more flustered.

But panic is panic, and no one makes a noise after all, so he can only walk around the hall lightly, and from time to time he will scatter his worried eyes on Liu Bang's undulating back.

On the edge of the sickbed, the queen Lu Pheasant and the prince Liu Ying arrived early, the prime minister Xiao He and the imperial historian Cao Shen silently returned to the side, and the courtiers and officials in the court had all knelt outside the Changxin Palace.

When Liu Bang's cough calmed down a little, the old lady doctor who was standing in front of the couch almost immediately jumped forward, grasped this rare opportunity, and took the pulse of Liu Bang.

After only a few moments, the Son of Heaven propped up his upper body again, and there was another sharp cough against the basin next to the couch······

"Alas······"

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and you still have to have abundant strength to parade in the last year, how can you not be more than a year old, actually!"

"Alas, the number of lives ······"

"It's all fate·······"

Thinking to himself, Xiao He slowly lowered his head, but his hand was held tighter at the sleeve.

——As the prime minister, even if he is so old that he can't even read the words clearly, Xiao He must also guarantee: When an accident occurs, Liu Bang's edict must be recorded in writing.

Prime Minister Xiao He is still like this, Cao Shen, Wang Ling and others kneeling in the hall, as well as the hundred officials and meritorious marquis kneeling outside the hall, are even more pessimistic.

——After kneeling outside the hall for a while, the courtiers and officials outside the hall had already begun to pray for Liu Bang under the leadership of Fengchang's uncle Sun Tong!

It's just that this kind of blessing is not 'praying for someone's safety' in the impression of later generations, but sincerely praying to all the gods: can Liu Bang's illness be transferred to himself······

As soon as Liu Bang coughed, the imperial doctor had to withdraw his hand and let Liu Bang cough violently against the basin; When Liu Bang stopped coughing, the old lady doctor hurriedly stepped forward and seized the opportunity to call the pulse.

After repeating this several times, Liu Bang finally lay on the couch for half a moment, and the old lady finally ended this intermittent 'diagnosis', and got up from the couch with a calm face.

Just when the old lady doctor was thinking about who to tell the diagnosis results, he saw Liu Bang slowly raise his hand and hold the corner of the old lady's clothes tightly in his hand.

"Like ······"

"How to ······"

"I ······ Gotta ······"

"Ahem······"

"I still have to live······ Geometric ······ of life expectancy"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall lowered their heads in panic, secretly pricked up their ears, and quietly waited for the old lady's reply.

But when the old lady heard this, her face stiffened obviously, and she secretly hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped forward and slowly bowed her hand to Liu Bang on the sickbed.

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty's illness is caused by a lot of hard work in previous years, and it was requisitioned from all directions, and there were more hidden wounds and diseases, so it was caused by overwork."

"Although this disease is not easy to treat, it is not incurable."

"Only Your Majesty Xiao is far away from wine, sex, and food, supplemented by medicinal stones, moxibustion and moxibustion, when it can be ······"

"No ······"

"Ahem! Ahem······"

"I ······ Didn't ask about it······"

Without waiting for the imperial doctor to finish speaking, he saw Liu Bang raise his hand again, and forced himself to press the itch in his throat, before slowly turning his head sideways and looking at the old doctor with blank eyes.

"What I asked is the number of longevity······

"I know this body, I know ······ myself"

"I ······ Ahem······"

As he spoke, Liu Bang coughed lightly again, and there was a faint posture of coughing again.

Seeing this, Lu Pheasant on the side finally got up from the ground, sat down on the edge of the couch with a complicated expression, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to gently comfort Liu Bang's chest.

As for Liu Ying, she was already kowtowing to the ground at this moment, crying silently, her forehead was pressed against the wooden board, and she didn't dare to raise it at all.

was gently hugged into Lu Pheasant's arms, but Liu Bang didn't care about making eye contact with Lu Pheasant, and only stretched out two fingers weakly.

"Two ······"

"Ahem, cough, ······"

"February ······"

As he spoke, Liu Bang seemed to be worried about why the Imperial Doctor was doing, and withdrew another finger.

"You can ······ in January"

Looking at the old man who was once powerful and famous in the troubled times at the end of the Qin Dynasty, at this moment, he even stretched out a finger, and he needed his wife to support his wrist on the side, and Xiao He, Cao Shen and other meritorious marquis in the hall all had two lines of sad tears on their faces.

It was also while everyone bowed their heads to wipe away their tears that the old lady hesitated again and again, and finally nodded to Liu Bang inaudibly.

Seeing this, Liu Bang finally settled down, his outstretched fingers fell softly, and his breath finally calmed down.

"I ······"

"Ahem······"

"I have the mandate of heaven, draft recklessness with the body of cloth, and slash the tyrannical Qin ······ with a three-foot sword"

"This, all the destiny is also ······"

said this weakly, Liu Bang's tone finally calmed down, and Lu Pheasant also sat up slightly straighter with a complicated face, so that Liu Bang's head leaning on his chest could face everyone in the hall.

I saw that the old man opened his eyelids with great effort, and slowly glanced at everyone in the hall, and in the end, his eyes remained in front of him, and his expression was full of fear.

"Huh······"

"I drafted recklessly, cut down the tyrannical Qin, exterminated the Xiang nationality, and won the world, all of which are the destiny of heaven······"

"The longevity of me should also be the destiny of heaven, and even if Bian Que is reincarnated, he must not go against the sky······"

As he spoke, Liu Bang did not forget to squeeze out an extremely weak smile, and waved his hand weakly at the old lady doctor in front of him.

"My destiny is coming, no wonder the Imperial Doctor ordered ······"

"Give fifty gold, say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown······"

"Even if I collapse in this disease, I must not sin against the healer······"

Hearing Liu Bang's words, Liu Ying only cried more sadly, and even everyone in the hall couldn't help but sobbed quietly.

Even Lu Pheasant, who was holding Liu Bang up, was already red at the moment, and his eyes were full of complexity, just like the old lady doctor, he put his chin on the top of Liu Bang's head and wept a little.

"Concubine, follow Your Majesty's wishes······"

At this moment, the grievances and hatred between Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant, the old couple, seemed to have dissipated before birth, old age, sickness and death, leaving only the woman's love for her husband and the grief of her husband's imminent death.

After the old lady doctor thanked Dai De for bowing to him three times and nine times, and untied the official seal around his waist in front of Liu Bang, and took a plate of gold cakes handed by the palace waiter, Liu Bang smiled and nodded at the old lady doctor again.

"Go for it······"

"Go for it·········"

"Say goodbye to the old and return to your hometown, enjoy the joy of your children and grandchildren around your knees, and don't re-enter Chang'an···········"

After that, Liu Bang slowly closed his eyes and enjoyed this rare warmth.

- Liu Bang clearly remembers: The last time his wife Lu Pheasant held her head in her arms was when Lu Pheasant was pregnant with Liu Ying 16 years ago······

After more than ten years of panic, Liu Bang thought that things were wrong, but at this moment, everything seemed to be back to the beginning.

Even though he is already the son of heaven, Liu Bang is still like a child, being held in the arms of Lu Pheasant, who is already the mother of the world, just like the newlyweds who lived a small life in Peiyi sixteen years ago.

For a moment, Liu Bang wanted to stand up straight, but instead took Lu Pheasant into his arms and whispered in his wife's ear: I, Queen Yu is ashamed.

But I don't know if it was because he had no strength, or because he was too obsessed with Wen Cun at this moment, Liu Bang still couldn't get up straight from Lu Pheasant's arms.

When the old lady came out of the hall in tears, and the cries of everyone in the hall subsided a little, Liu Bang opened his eyes again and looked at everyone in the hall.

"I will ······ the great line"

"Yu Zongmiao Sheji, I, I don't dare to take it lightly······"

As soon as these words came out, the crying that had just subsided suddenly became a bit of a howling tendency.

Even Xiao He on the side was already tearful and took out the parchment scroll in his sleeve, ready to take a pen at any time and record the edict.

saw Liu Bang raise his hand tiredly, pointing at Xiao He and Cao Shen beside Xiao He.

"Hou Xiao He, hard work and high merit, Zuo Zhen determines the world, and the merit is the first ······"

"Ran Xiao He has worked hard for many years, and he is also ······ old"

"Concession Marquis Xiao He: praise and worship is not famous, enter the dynasty is not tending, sword shoes and palace ······"

"After Xiao He, Cao Shen can be the Han Minister, Zuo Xinjun will be the prime minister of the world, and the prime minister will govern the people······"

After being named, Xiao He and Cao Shen hurriedly got up, came to the couch and knelt down, choked up and said words of gratitude.

saw Liu Bang turn his hand again and point to the royal tomb not far away.

"After Cao Shen, Wang Ling can be the prime minister, and Fu teaches the new monarch ······"

"Then ······"

"Ahem, cough, ······"

"The tomb of the Marquis of Ran'an is longer than the steel straight, and slightly shorter than the bending and stretching; If you are alone, I am afraid that it may cause discord in the court······"

"Qu rebelled Hou Chen Ping, who had many friendships with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and was a kind person; However, it is better than planning, but short is shorter, and you can't be in charge of the prime minister's mansion alone······"

"With the royal tomb as the phase, Chen Ping can be assisted by the left, which can make the court stable and the secretary of state harmonious··········"

Hearing this, Wang Ling was also born with tears in his eyes, and repeatedly kowtowed to Liu Bang to thank Junen.

Seeing Liu Bang's posture of explaining what was behind him, Lu Pheasant was already in tears, so he couldn't stop nodding his head, and muttered from time to time, 'The concubine knows'.

When Liu Bang closed his eyes again, Lu Pheasant snorted, and did not dare to look down to investigate Liu Bang's snort, so he only trembled and said tentatively: "After the royal tomb, who should be the face?" ”

Fortunately, after a while, Liu Bang finally opened his eyes again, raised his head, and smiled miserably at Lu Pheasant.

"After the Tomb······"

"Ahem······"

"After the royal tomb, what is the situation of the Wu Han family, it is not what Queen Zhentong can predict······"

Weakly saying this, Liu Bang closed his eyes again and gently leaned back into Lu Pheasant's arms.

"From today on, all affairs of the DPRK and China will be decided by the queen, and Xiao He and Cao Shen will be on the side to assist the left ······"

"Prince, stay in Changxin ······ temporarily"

"I have something to explain to the prince······"

"There are many, many words, and I haven't had time to explain to the prince ····················"
