Chapter 172(1/2)
The singing voice of Emperor Gao could faintly be heard in Jiaofang Hall.
Many of the attendants stopped and listened with some nostalgia.
When Emperor Gao was still here, singing like this could be heard all over the palace. Now, this sound can only be heard in Jiaofang Hall.
"Let you mobilize an army! Let you follow the imperial edict and fight against thieves!"
"Ah~~"
"I want you to do things without consulting me!"
When Empress Lu said that she would deal with you later, Liu Chang thought it was just to scare him, but he never thought that when he happily returned to Jiaofang Palace, his mother was really waiting for him with a wooden stick...
. Seeing that scene, Liu Chang turned around and was about to run away. However, Empress Lu had made sufficient preparations. Four or five servants blocked the door, leaving Liu Chang with no way to escape.
Next, of course, is the Taizu singing session that everyone loves to hear.
Empress Lu was really angry this time. If Liu Ying had not gotten married a few years earlier, Empress Lu might not have beaten Liu Ying together. But now, Liu Ying has become the emperor, and Liu Chang has to bear all the firepower alone.
Queen Lu hated things beyond her control very much. She hoped that everything in the palace could be carried out with her knowledge, and at the same time, she hoped that nothing would be beyond her control. To put it simply,
Queen Lu would not forcefully interfere with Liu Ying and Liu Chang's decision, but she had to let her know and be sure that Queen Lu could end the matter.
She warned again and again that if you dare to act recklessly next time, I will break your legs!
Empress Lu left angrily. Liu Chang knew that she was going to deal with her second brother. If it wasn't for the injury on her butt, she would definitely go with her. It would be best for her second brother to take a few hits as well.
If you work together, you can do it alone if you get beaten, right?
Fan Qing lowered his head and applied medicine to him seriously.
"Why does your aunt always hit you?"
"How do I know? Maybe it's because I'm too similar to my father, and my mother hates my father... so she wants to hit me when she sees me."
"You shouldn't make your aunt angry."
"Do I need you to lecture me?"
Liu Chang said angrily: "Tomorrow you can help me send a message to Zhou Shengzhi and Xiahou Zao. I can't go out to play these days... Let them take good care of my horses. Except for Xiahou Zao, everyone else can take care of them."
Taking my horse out for a spin...Oh, by the way, I got some fodder the day before yesterday, and it's in the second bucket in the barn in the backyard."
"Tell Zhou Shengzhi to cover the bucket after feeding the horses. Don't do what you did last time!"
"Oh...can I ride that big white horse?"
"Uh...you? Okay, rub your shoulders for me, rub them for half an hour, and then I'll let you ride!"
"good!!"
.......
Empress Lu did not deal with Liu Ying as Liu Chang thought. Empress Lu arrived at Ganquan Palace and picked up her grandson. There was no displeasure on her face. Empress Cao greeted her respectfully. Empress Lu's attitude toward Empress Cao
He was also very gentle and said with a smile: "You can't be unhappy because of things in the temple!"
Empress Cao said hurriedly: "My wife, it is enough if she can take good care of her husband and children."
Empress Lu's expression suddenly turned ugly. Empress Cao knew she had made a mistake and added, "I am just a mother for the first time and I don't understand anything. I will have to have my mother help me in the future."
Empress Lu nodded and didn't say anything. Liu Ying stood aside with her head lowered and said nothing. Even though he became aggressive with the ministers, he still didn't dare to say anything in front of Empress Lu.
The fear of his mother seemed to occupy his entire body and mind.
"Ying, you did a good job this time...very good."
Empress Lu gave Liu Ying a rare compliment, and Liu Ying hurriedly bowed and said, "My son...I...can't afford my mother's praise."
Seeing Liu Ying's uneasy look, Empress Lu immediately stopped talking. Neither Liu Ying nor Empress Cao spoke. The Ganquan Palace was quiet. Empress Lu shook her grandson, looked at Empress Cao, and ordered
Said: "When sleeping, it is best to tie the child's hands and feet...let him sleep upright, otherwise the legs will easily become crooked when he grows up..."
"only!"
Queen Cao hurriedly accepted the order.
Queen Lu was silent for a long time, and then looked at Liu Jian who was watching not far away, "Have you brought Jian here too?"
However, seeing Empress Lu's gaze, even the young Liu Jian did not dare to speak. He lowered his head and hid behind Empress Cao. Empress Cao smiled awkwardly.
"Mom...he was really lonely all alone...so I took him over...he is usually very well-behaved..."
It was quiet in Ganquan Palace. Empress Lu didn't say anything. After handing her grandson to Liu Ying, she turned around and left Ganquan Palace. Everyone bowed farewell.
When Empress Lu walked out of Ganquan Palace, she vaguely heard Liu Jian's noise and the laughter of everyone in Ganquan Palace.
Queen Lu stopped suddenly, her face was cold and her eyes were cold.
She stood for a moment and left quickly before the attendant could ask.
When Empress Lu walked into the Jiaofang Hall, she happened to see Fan Qing squeezing Liu Chang's shoulders. Liu Chang lay proudly on the bed and raised his head. Empress Lu frowned when she saw this scene.
He came and cursed: "Staying here so late? Aren't you afraid that my mother will be worried?!"
Fan Qing was stunned for a moment and said aggrievedly: "I'll put some medicine on it..."
"go home!"
Liu Chang watched in surprise as Fan Qing, who had always been favored, left pitifully, and shouted: "She hasn't been held for half an hour, why did my mother drive her away!"
"What? Why don't you go with her!"
"Just leave! I will go back to Tang State tomorrow! I will never come back again!!"
Liu Chang turned away and did not look at his mother. But after a moment, Liu Chang suddenly touched his belly and said blankly: "Mom... I haven't eaten anything at night."
The mother and son were eating together. Liu Chang wolfed down the food and said while eating: "Now I have Prime Minister Zhang Cang, Imperial Censor Zhu Jian, and Lieutenant Li Zuoche... I finally have the three gentlemen together, and all I need is Jiu Qing."
Well... Luan Bu, Zhang Buyi, Ji Bu, and Zhao Gong are all qualified to be the ninth minister, but there are still five more."
"In addition, our Tang State has six counties and needs six more county guards."
"I still need eleven talents."
"However, Ren Ao, the governor of Shangdang County, Sun Chi, the governor of Taiyuan County, and Zhang Xiangru, the governor of Shangjun County, are all very powerful people. Each of them has a marquis. I don't plan to replace them. After getting rid of these three, I still have nine to go.
personal...."
Queen Lu glanced at him and said, "Are you planning to build another temple?"
"Mom, Zhao Yan, the governor of Hejian County, is a very powerful person... It would be a waste for him to stay in Zhao State. Can you let him come to Tang State to serve as the governor of Yunzhong County?"
"Haha, in these days, you have humiliated Zhao several times, seized its war horses, and collected its people's strength. I have never stopped you. Now you want to take away even the county guard?! Your Tang State is a vassal state, isn't Zhao State?
?”
Liu Chang grinned, said nothing, and continued to make rice with his head down.
Looking at Liu Chang who was devouring his food, Empress Lu suddenly asked: "Can I go to Tang State later?"
"ah?"
Liu Chang raised his head, looked at Empress Lu blankly, and asked: "What?"
"nothing."
"Hahaha, I heard it. Mom is not willing to let me go? Don't worry, mom. When I go to Tang State, I will take you with me. I have an army of 800,000 in Tang State. Anyone who dares to object will be killed by me directly.
Capture him and bring him to Tang State to build a palace for me!"
Liu Chang was very proud, "I knew how could my mother be willing to let me go with such an outstanding child? Don't worry, mother! I will build you a Jiaofang Palace in the best place in Taiyuan! Just follow
It's exactly the same here. Every day after I finish the meeting, I go to Jiaofang Hall to find you!"
Listening to Liu Chang chattering about his future plans, Queen Lu just listened attentively and did not interrupt him.
After Liu Chang had eaten, he lay on the bed, his face full of enjoyment, and chatted with Empress Lu.
"The queen is really amazing... It hasn't been long since we started a family, and your eldest brother is already obeying her words..."
Liu Chang was stunned for a moment and then said: "How great is this? My eldest brother will do some stupid things from time to time. If my eldest sister-in-law can persuade him, it will be a good thing."
........
The snow is gradually melting, and although it has come to the season of recovery of all things, the weather is still a bit cold. This is the best season for the sages.
The desolate city of Chang'an also gradually recovered, and pedestrians finally appeared.
"At that time, when I saw that Shen Shiqi dared to disrespect my brother, I became furious and rushed forward. At that time, Mo Ru's father came with eight hundred soldiers to stop me.
, captured Shen Shi Qi and Mo Ru's father alive, and everyone was amazed. My brother praised him and said: What a fierce man! He said that he wanted me to command the Northern Army and serve as a Taiwei, but I declined!"
Liu Chang boasted as usual, and the wise men listened attentively and clapped their hands from time to time.
"The king has done such great things at a young age. When historians record these things in the history books, future generations will definitely admire him greatly!"
Zhou Shengzhi hurriedly began to flatter him. Liu Chang nodded proudly and was suddenly startled. Logically speaking, shouldn't Lu Lu follow Zhou Shengzhi at this time? Why didn't he say anything?
Liu Chang looked around and asked in surprise: "Where's Lu? Why didn't he come?"
Not far away, Lu Zhong whispered: "Brother Lu is recovering from his injuries in the mansion."
"Ah? Recuperate? What happened to him?"
Zhou Shengzhi said disdainfully: "I have heard about this matter. It is said that some officials from other places came to impeach Jiancheng Hou, saying that he allowed his son to go out to cause trouble, and that Lu Lu was outside Chang'an and was domineering and bullying with his brother Lu Chan.
An official seizes women of the people and is debauched and immoral... I never thought that he is such a person, so I'd better not associate with him again in the future!"
