Soon after the crown prince's wedding, the seventy-year-old emperor gradually became addicted.

In the summer of June, Emperor Liu Bang came to the Liyang Han Palace to serve his father under the sickbed. Countless miracle medicines have been sent like flowing water, but no matter how good the medicine is, it can save the disease, but it cannot save aging.

On this day, Liu Ying opened the curtain and entered the palace to visit her grandfather, and the palace people who were waiting in front of the emperor's bed whispered, "The emperor is still sleeping." ”

"These days, Taishang is sleeping longer and longer." Her expression was terrified and worried.

"Hmm." Liu Ying responded softly, indicating that she understood. He came to his grandfather's bed, and looked at his grandfather's old face, wrapped in a gorgeous brocade quilt, he was so thin that only a handful of bones remained, and the wrinkles were vertical and horizontal.

Liu Ang woke up, saw the figure kneeling in front of the couch, and called, "Ying Yanzi." ”

"My grandson is here." He hurriedly answered, reaching out to hold his grandfather's thin hand.

The shaking turbidity faded, and Liu Ang's vision was clear, "Go and invite your father." ”

After a while, Liu Bang, who was dressed in a dark robe, entered the room, rubbed his hands and smiled, "Ah Weng looks good today, I think it's a good thing to come!" ”

Liu Ang sat up and said with a smile, "My own body knows it myself, but it's just a return to the light." ”

"Ah Ji," Liu Ang called his son's nickname, looking at the emperor who was already not young, "When you were young, you were skinny and wild, the most homeless, tired me and your mother were worried about you, but she didn't expect that you could become such a big thing, hehehe, my old Liu family, there can still be an emperor." ”

Liu Bang also laughed, "Parents are very kind, and children dare not hope for a day." ”

Liu Ang's gaze wandered over the gorgeous furnishings of Liyang Palace, and finally fell on the handsome young man who was waiting under the curtain outside the hall with his sleeves folded, "Ah Weng is just a layman, I don't care about your state affairs, and I can't manage it." But in the family affairs of my old Liu family, I think I, as a father, can still interject a few words! ”

Liu Bang smiled and retracted his hand, "Father, please speak." ”

"After you ascended the throne, you sealed the Liu clan all over the country, but you left out your eldest brother's room. I know you hate your sister-in-law, but your eldest brother is your brother-in-law, although he died early, he left behind the bloodline of Ashin, Ashin is the eldest grandson of my old Liu family, how can you not give him an explanation? ”

"What Ah Weng said is," Liu Bang smiled with his sleeves folded, "I just see that Ashin is still young, and I want to seal him later." Since Ah Weng has spoken, I will make him a marquis tomorrow. ”

Why is it just Hou and not Wang? Liu Ang wanted to ask his son, but thinking about the meanness of his eldest daughter-in-law to his third son in the past, he sighed and stopped talking about this topic, "When I was a prisoner in Chuying, your daughter-in-law served me very dedicatedly. If it weren't for her, my old bones would have been buried in the Chu camp a long time ago. Just because of this kindness, you can't treat their mother and son badly. ”

"Ah Weng," Liu Bang changed his posture impatiently and smiled kindly, "You can see Ruyi this time?" Ruyi is ten years old, smart and cute. ”

Liu Ang was unhappy in his heart, and said abruptly, "You only have that little child in your heart." Ying Yanzi was raised by me, with a good character and filial piety, what are you not satisfied with? It's just for the yellow-mouthed child whose heart is undecided. ”

"Ah Weng, Ying'er and Ruyi are generally your grandsons," Liu Bang looked at his old father and said sharply, "It's just that you have always been close to Ying'er, and you are biased!" ”

The emperor laughed angrily, "I'm biased, aren't you biased?" He said earnestly, "Ying Yanzi and Ruyi are not usually your sons." ”

"Ying'er is kind and weak, and it is naturally okay to be a villager or a farmer, but if she is an emperor, she may not be able to suppress her subordinates."

"What does it matter to be weak?" Liu Ang said disapprerovitically, "It would be nice to practice a few times in the future!" ”

Liu Bang frowned and was silent.

The Emperor Taishang looked at his son and couldn't help but soften his heart again. After all, Liu Bang is his own son, and his son is closer than his grandson, so why should he be so angry with his son for his grandson?

Strike, strike, strike!

In the final analysis, Liu Ying and Ruyi are their own grandsons, who is the prince, and what does it matter to themselves, the grandfather?

"Whatever you want!" He closed his eyes and said discouragedly, and suddenly put on a straight face and said solemnly, "Ah Ji, you have to promise me one thing." ”

Liu Bang hurriedly smiled, "Father has orders, and my son dares to disobey his orders." ”

Emperor Taishang held Liu Bang's hand tightly and solemnly admonished, "Ying'er, he is a good boy, no matter what, you, as a father, must protect him." ”

"That's it." Liu Bang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Look at what you said, after all, he is also my son, and I can't bear to do anything to him?" ”

On the ninth day of July in the autumn of the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ang, the emperor of the emperor, collapsed in Liyang Palace, and lived seventy. Emperor Liu Bang mourned, raised filial piety to guard the spirit, and changed Liyi to Xinfeng in front of the spirit, and buried the emperor in Xinfeng. At the same time, he pardoned Liyang death row prisoners, and named Liu Xin, the only son of his eldest brother, as the Marquis of Tangjie.

The crown princess Dong Hu took the water and food offered by Xianyue, entered the mourning hall, and looked at the young man kneeling in front of the Taishang Ling wearing Qi Linen clothes, and felt a gentle pain. Liu Ying knelt silently in front of his grandfather's spirit, his face was tired and pale, his grandfather's death hit this young man very hard, and he didn't know how to do it in order to get out of the sadness of his parent's death.

"Prince. Eat something. ”

Liu Ying stayed for a while before coming back to her senses, looked at her wife, and said, "Take it back, I can't eat it." ”

Dong Hu's eyes suddenly turned red, "If you continue like this, you won't be able to hold on." ”

Liu Ying looked at her appearance, sighed, took a Hu cake, put it in her mouth, chewed a few bites, and swallowed it mechanically. He smiled at her, "That's it!" ”

In the twilight, the torches on the gallop road, a convoy from the gallop to Xinfeng, for the first copper Xuan car Ding plugged in the dry, the frieze covered with white banners.

The royal man slowed down the momentum of the car and said loudly, "The king of Chu is here for the funeral of the emperor." ”

The middle-aged man in filial piety clothes entered the mourning hall and bowed in front of the emperor's god, "Father, it's too late for the unfilial son Liu Jiao!" "Crying.

Liu Ying looked at such a scene, her eyes suddenly turned red again, and she persuaded, "Uncle Chu Wang, your thoughts, my father knows!" ”

The family members of the King of Chu followed the King of Chu into the mourning hall to worship the Emperor Taishang, and they were all dressed in filial piety clothes, and their color was like snow. One of the twelve or thirteen-year-old girls bowed three times and got up, Yue Zhong walked up to Liu Ying and asked, "Brother Prince, grandfather went this time, did it work hard when he left?" "Red and swollen eye circles.

Liu Ying covered her sleeves and wiped away her tears and said, "Everything was fine when my grandfather went, but he was very thin. Don't be too upset. ”

Liu Chu, the lord of Chu State, is dressed in filial piety clothes, with a slim waist and a graceful posture, not only does it look not bleak, but outlines a clear and beautiful eyebrows and eyes, which is indescribably charming.

Liu Ying looked at her tired and persuaded, "You and all the brothers have come from afar, after worshipping, let's freshen up and rest." ”

Liu Chu's head was grateful, and he followed the aunts and brothers, and after walking for a short distance, he suddenly turned around and called, "Brother Prince." ”

Liu Ying turned around and looked at each other.

The blazing court burns on both sides of Guangting cast overlapping bright shadows on the girl's face, Liu Chu's face was slightly red, and he pondered for a moment and asked, "Did he come to Xinfeng?" His eyes lit up with a slight expectation.

Liu Ying was stunned, "No." ”

"Oh." Liu Chuan lowered his head, stood in the court for a while, and turned to leave.

August in the forest

It is another autumn day, the Huns gather in the forest, celebrate the end of the old year, the beginning of the new year, the grassland is full of laughter.

Qu Yu returned to the Xiongnu after the northern expedition to the Dayue clan, and as soon as he entered the forest, he heard someone whisper earnestly, "I heard that the woman is about to give birth." ”

Qu Yu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? ”

"It turned out to be a canal plover." The elderly Lou Fu Wang looked back at him at the end of the winter and smiled, "We are talking about the Han man in the tent who is about to give birth in the past few days, I don't know if it is a man or a woman, everyone is watching!" ”

Qu Yu dismounted in front of the king's tent, straightened his clothes, and went in to see Mao Dun Shan Yu. Mao Dun Shan Yu patted him on the shoulder, with a proud expression, "You are the god of war of our Huns, this trip is a big victory over the Yue clan, I will let everyone wash your dust at night." ”

"It's just a fallacy." Qu Yu smiled heartily, "When it comes to fighting, how can I compare to Shangdanyu?" It's just that he is in a high position now, and it is not good to personally lead the troops into battle, unlike me, who is unfettered and can fight wherever I want. ”

The two clapped their hands and laughed. Maudun's eyes were sharp, he caught a glimpse of the scimitar at his waist and asked, "Your knife?" ”

"Oh. This one. Qu Yu drew his knife neatly, turned the handle upside down, and handed it to Maudun. In an instant, a bright sword light flashed in the king's tent.

"Good knives." Mao Dun couldn't help but praise.

"This knife is beautiful, isn't it?" Qu Yu looked proud, but in the next second, he turned happy, "This is Artie who sent it to me." This expedition to the Yue Clan, to say the least, was stained with the blood of more than 100 people! ”

"She, Artie?" ”

Such a delicate and timid little girl can also build a sword?

Mao Dun tapped the gold belt on his waist, and his eyes flashed, "I heard that the double wheel car used by the Xiongqu Department now was also made up by your sister?" ”

"Not exactly." Qu Yuan grinned, his face full of pride for this sister,

Last year, she saw that the people lived in the water and grass, and the single-wheel car was inconvenient, so she wanted to build a double-wheel car. I caught the Han craftsmen in the clan to do it, and wasted a lot of wood before and after, and finally it was really made. Now, the people of the clan regard her as more precious than me, the prince! ”

"Ah," said Mao Dun, "the double-wheeled car does bring a lot of convenience to our herdsmen. Although it was not made by Timilona herself, she contributed to it. I'd like to reward him well. By the way, is she here this time? ”

"Come on." Qu Yu was already smiling and couldn't even see his eyes, "Our brother and sister haven't seen each other for a few months, I told Atie that she will come to Jilin to pick me up first, and then we will go back to Xiongqu Department together." ”

Ji Congee rode on the back of his beloved horse Ben Lei, and galloped on the racecourse.

At the beginning of the year, the prince will be ten years old, he has a large skeleton, and he has grown much taller than he had been more than a year ago. Ben Lei is a number of famous horses on the grassland, over the years, Ji Congee rode it to the Huns in various arenas, and rarely lost.

The Huns worshipped heroes, and countless Hun herdsmen gathered around the arena to cheer for their princes, shouting louder and louder, gradually turning into the ocean.

Seeing that Ji Congee was already a big step ahead, suddenly a white horse overtook from behind, and the gray-clothed young man on the horse fell down on the horse, the horse was skillful and neat, and he was about to catch up. The spirit of Ji porridge was shocked, and the two horses rushed forward and backward, chasing each other, not giving way to each other, and soon crossed the finish line one after the other, and the grassland erupted into warm applause, shouting and shouting.

Ji Congee wiped his sweat with his sleeve in the applause, turned around, and smiled, "Hey, your horse is riding well!" ”

He loved the young man's handsome horsemanship, and challenged his authority at a young age, taking the initiative to be kind. However, the gray-clothed young man did not appreciate it, snorted, and rode slowly past him.

A snow-white wolf jumped into the arms of the young man, crossed a beautiful arc in the air, the young man giggled, stroked its head, and said gently, "Xiaobai, are you hungry?" I'll cut a piece of beef and feed it to you later. ”

The back, the voice, the temperament, and the snow wolf with his head and tail shook his head and tail, and suddenly the porridge blessed his heart, and shouted loudly, "Artie? His voice trembled slightly.
