Liu Chang looked at Lu Zhong in surprise, "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes... my father was very angry. After several questionings, Lu Di shouted that he was wronged. My father got so angry that he hung him up and beat him... Now he can't even stay in bed..."

"Forehead..."

Liu Chang was immediately speechless. Xia Houzao on the side asked curiously: "Then was he really wronged?"

"At first I thought he was unjust, but the person who came to complain was not just once, but this was the third time. I thought this was probably what he did."

Several people were talking about this matter curiously. Liu Chang frowned, but he was thinking in his heart: No, I have to change my name next time I go out, otherwise Lu Lu will be beaten to death by his uncle sooner or later.

He pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhou Shengzhi who was standing aside, and said seriously: "Shengzhi, I'm going to suffer a lot for you."

Zhou Shengzhi didn't realize how serious the matter was at this moment. He smiled and patted his chest, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Lu Lu is not here, so I will do everything! I am not like Lu Lu who does evil! I usually never

Don’t do evil!!”

While several people were laughing and playing in the mansion, Xiao Yan hurriedly walked in from the side door and walked quickly in front of Liu Chang.

"Why did you come so late?"

Xiao Yan didn't speak, tears suddenly fell.

Liu Chang stood up in a hurry, "Why are you crying? What's wrong?"

"Father wants to see the king."

.......

The old Xiao He was lying on the couch, breathing feebly and dying.

Every breath he took seemed to be very difficult. After taking a deep breath, the breath was interrupted by several meaningless moans before it was fully inhaled.

Liu Chang knelt down beside him, holding Xiao He's hand with a very solemn expression.

"Go...go...Tang Wang...stay...uh~~", Xiao He said half a sentence, and then took a deep breath.

The eldest son Xiao Lu wiped his tears and called softly: "Father..."

Liu Chang yelled: "Didn't you hear that?! Get out of here!!"

Xiao He and Liu Chang were the only ones left in the room. Xiao He turned his head with difficulty, and Liu Chang helped him so that he could see himself.

"Long...Hun."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, as long as I am here, I will never let the Huns cross the Great Wall... I swear to stop them, and sooner or later, I will capture Maodun alive!"

"The Huns... are powerful... small battles are not possible... big battles... it will be decided in one battle."

"I understand. I will save my strength and fight to the death...Xiao Xiang, you don't need to say more...I already know that you should take good care of your health. In the future, I will go out to conquer the Huns, and you will have to take responsibility for me.

Food and grass."

Xiao He still looked at Liu Chang. He was so thin that it was almost impossible to see the expression on his face.

"Chang...Lv, Lu."

Liu Chang fell silent, "Prime Minister, the disciples of the Lu family are all my friends. They don't dare to have any ideas. If anyone dares to trample on my Liu family's power, I will definitely defeat them."

"No... civil war..."

"I know that no matter what, the Tang army will not attack Chang'an."

"Long... princes."

"I'm watching...the princes don't dare to sit high...Xiao Xiang, don't worry anymore."

"Han Xin..."

"Uh..." Xiao He took a deep breath, his face full of deep fatigue, "Han..."

Liu Chang held Xiao He's hand and stroked it gently, "The Han Dynasty will become stronger and stronger, foreign enemies will be eliminated, and there will be no worries internally... The Han Dynasty will have hundreds of years of peace... the people will live a better and better life.

Good... We can all afford to wear clothes in winter, and no one will freeze or starve to death anymore... Officials will not dare to bully the people anymore... Everyone is united... The soldiers are brave, and the ministers are loyal..."

"Children can live healthy and happy lives...old people can enjoy family happiness...brothers are in harmony..."

"There are mountains of food piled up in granaries everywhere... The granaries of every household are piled up... The children are wearing warm clothes, and their fathers are taking them to play..."

As Liu Chang spoke softly, Xiao He slowly closed his eyes. He seemed to have seen the prosperous age Liu Chang was talking about, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised with the same smile as before.

"boom."

The door was pushed open.

Liu Chang walked out, and everyone outside the door looked at him, their eyes full of uneasiness and fear.

"Xiao Xiang is asleep."

Xiao Lu was stunned for a moment, and then he rushed into the house. At that moment, heart-wrenching cries could be heard in the house.

Liu Chang shed tears and hugged the crying Xiao Yan, but could not say a word.

After assisting Liu Bang for decades, Xiao Xiang finally followed Liu Bang's footsteps and left this world.

Among the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Xiao He was the eldest. Since Liu Bang's death, his health has been getting worse day by day. Perhaps he had expected this day, and Xiao He had already made all preparations, including mourning and burial.

Xiao He had already made arrangements for everything. It can only be said that this prime minister, whether he was alive or after he left, would not let others worry about him.

Xiao He had great prestige among the people. In the second half of his life, almost every government decree he implemented was for the people.

Therefore, when Xiao He passed away, the people of Chang'an spontaneously mourned him and cried loudly.

All the brothers came to help Xiao Yan handle the funeral matters, help greet the people who came to mourn, and help transport the remains, etc. Xiao He only had two children and could not carry the coffin. Fortunately, Xiao Yan

There are many brothers, and they are all willing to pay tribute to Prime Minister Xiao with the gift of their children.

From the emperor to the officials, everyone felt sad for Xiao He's death.

Cao Shen also appeared here and saw Xiao He off personally.

After observing his filial piety, Xiao Lu said goodbye to everyone who came and went, while Xiao Yan just stood not far away, wiping tears.

"Don't be afraid...your father didn't leave...he just went to see my father for a drink."

Liu Chang put his arm around Xiao Yan's shoulders and said loudly: "Maybe he is still trying to persuade my father to stop drinking!"

Xiao Yan whispered: "My father has been talking about the king these days... saying that we always don't let him worry..."

Liu Chang listened carefully to Xiao Yan's story.

After staying with Xiao Yan for a few more days, Liu Chang went to Han Xin's residence.

Han Xin looked a little sullen and his eyes were cold.

"Master...Xiao Xiang is gone."

"I know."

"Why is Master like this?"

"I submitted a petition to see Mr. Xiao off, but the Queen Mother refused."

"Master just wants to see him off in his heart... These ceremonies were all done by Shusun Tong. Didn't anyone pay tribute to Shusun Tong before him?"

Liu Chang said, picked up the bamboo slips, and said: "I didn't expect that Master still cares about Xiao Xiang so much... He has always told you to execute you, even before he died... I thought Master hated him very much.

."

"He is doing national affairs, why should he complain?"

"Okay, Master, let's continue with the class. Today it's time to talk about siege warfare..."

Han Xin looked down at him, "Why don't you look sad at all?"

"Sad? What's the use of being sad now? Can we still bring Xiao Xiang back?"

"With this free time, I might as well make myself better. Before Mr. Xiao passed away, he told me a lot of things. If I can do it, that will be the best way to commemorate Mr. Xiao!"

"You can see clearly." Han Xin looked at him and nodded approvingly, "It seems that you have indeed grown up."

"That's natural! I've long passed the age of crying. Even if Master one day... ahem, let's continue studying."

Han Xin said with a straight face: "Xiao Xiang regarded me as his enemy before, but now you have been taught by me. The Tang Dynasty is powerful and he is devoted to the temple, so he must be afraid of you because of this... I don't believe he didn't do a good job before he died.

Get ready...just watch...you will soon be able to feel Xiao Xiang's methods."

"Ah? Xiao Xiang will deal with me? Before he died, he told me about his funeral, so how could he deal with me?"

"Don't worry, you will know when the time comes."

Liu Chang's eyes widened, "He cares about the temple, but why should he be afraid of me? Does he also think that I will rebel?"

"You are not rebelling... Where are your children? Where are your grandchildren?"

"If this develops, within twenty years, the power of the Tang State will be unstoppable... When you are gone, His Majesty will be gone too... If the temple wants to weaken the Tang State... What do you think will happen to your children?

If I had the same character as you, the Han and Tang Dynasties would go to war the next day...the world would be in chaos and blood would flow like rivers..."

ps: Historically, Xiao He died in the second year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty. Because of Liu Changtai's troubles, the old man was worried and lived for four more years. This cannot be said to be a sword.

In addition, I have seen many people talking about the problem of the female protagonist. The female character who makes sense, has the most descriptions, and has the longest plot is Empress Lu. As for Fan Qing, well, Liu is eleven years old, and Fan Qing is younger than him.

...She is no different from people like Xia Houzao and Chen Mai. They are just Liu Chang's childhood playmates. Is it true that only Lao Lang had a girlfriend like this who fought with him every day when he was a child?
