"Marquis Fenyin is so anxious to see me, so there must be something big to talk to me, right?"

It was Liu Bang who took the lead in changing the topic.

"right."

Zhou Chang then remembered the serious business he came to do. He said seriously: "Your Majesty wants to depose the prince and make the prince Ruyi the prince. This is wrong!"

"Oh? Although the prince is smart, he acts too cautiously and lacks courage. Ruyi is free and easy, good at martial arts, has my style, and is more suitable to be an emperor. I want to make Ruyi the prince, what's wrong with this?"

Liu Bang sat down slowly, and didn't even look at Zhou Chang's words, fiddling with the decoration on his lower skirt.

"The prince is pure and kind by nature, kind and filial and respectful. He never comes to see His Majesty for a day, and he is very harmonious with his brothers. Moreover, he is smart and studious, and has a kindness and righteous spirit. Why should such a prince be dismissed?"

"If you don't talk about anything else, I will just give you the simplest reason..."

Liu Bang said lightly.

"He is my eldest son! But he is always bullied by that son! Can such a person become an emperor?!"

Liu Bang's tone suddenly began to become fierce, and his voice was a little higher than usual. At this moment, he could not find the original smiling old hooligan on his body. He was majestic and murderous, and he was worthy of being the iron-blooded emperor who had been through the battlefield for a long time.

But Zhou Chang was not afraid of him at all.

He blushed in anger and said in a louder voice: "The prince is not afraid of the young master's growth, but is just pampering and tolerating because of his young age! Is this still a sin?!"

"Do you want to choose a prince who is not bullied and can kill his brother directly?"

"Do you want to become the second First Emperor? Do you want a Hu Hai?"

"I am not good at eloquence, but I am Jue... Jue... I will never agree to the deposed prince!"

Seeing that Zhou Chang was getting tired, Liu Bang was no longer so angry. He put away his momentum and looked at Zhou Chang with a smile again.

Zhou Chang was not the first to persuade Liu Bang. Before him, almost all ministers came to persuade him. Liu Bang's idea of ​​changing the prince had already caused a lot of waves in the temple. Countless ministers were arguing about this matter, and countless people were admonishing him. Of course, most people were telling the truth in a concealment, and Zhou Chang was the first to directly advise him without any concealment.

In the end, Liu Bang just slowly said good words, which seemed perfunctory and had no sincerity.

But Zhou Chang couldn't say more.

When Zhou Chang walked out of Xuanshi Hall, he "stumbled" to meet Empress Lu who came here to find the emperor. Empress Lu was much younger than Liu Bang. She wore a red dress. As the emperor and queen of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang and Empress Lu had almost the opposite style of dress.

Liu Bang always likes to wear the clothes he used to be. After becoming the emperor, he wore the crown of the past. He only wore the luxury when he went on tour. He usually wore the clothes in the palace when he drank and bragged with the ministers in the palace.

But Empress Lu always wore the brightest and most luxurious clothes, and she always followed several palace maids, bowing her head to accompany her.

Liu Bang was careless and drank with his ministers. When he got drunk, he would hold his arms around him. When he quarreled, he even beat him, but Empress Lu was always cold and looked solemn, like an iceberg beauty.

Zhou Chang hurriedly paid a visit, but Empress Lu also began to bow and thanked loudly, saying, "If it weren't for you, the prince would have been deposed."

When Zhou Chang, who had always been brave, was also shocked.

The problem of the crown prince has always been sensitive, especially between the queen and the emperor, because the crown prince who was about to be deposed was born by Empress Lu, while the new crown prince is the son of Concubine Qi.

Unexpectedly, the queen said so generously at the door of Xuanshi Hall. Liu Bang could not have known what he said here. A rare smile appeared on Zhou Chang's face, but this smile looked a little creepy. He nodded and turned around and left.

Empress Lu lowered her head and waited until Zhou Chang left, then she walked into the Xuanshi Hall. During the whole process, her expression was always cold.

When Empress Lu came in, Liu Bang knelt in front of the desk, looking much more serious.

Over the years, the relationship between the couple has not been very stable. Liu Bang is crazy about Concubine Qi and basically stays with Concubine Qi every day. It’s not that Empress Lu is no longer beautiful, but that the two have been together for too long, and Liu Bang may be a little tired of it.

However, Empress Lu did not cry like Mrs. Ordinary, and she accepted this fact calmly.

Over the years, she has stayed alone in the empty room. Liu Bang liked to go out and took Concubine Qi with him every time he went out. Concubine Qi acted coquettishly in front of him all day long, wanting to make her son Liu Ruyi take over. The position of the prince was shaky, but even so, Empress Lu was still not panicked at all, but instead became calmer and colder.

Liu Bang looked at his wife and was not surprised at her appearance, as if he had known that she was outside the door for a long time.

Empress Lu sat indifferently opposite him. The two looked at each other, but there was no affection in their eyes. The huge Xuanshi Hall seemed to be torn apart from it and divided into two halves, like a confrontation between a volcano and an iceberg. While burning with raging fire, they emitted a shocking cold air. The two looked at each other calmly.

"I am going to enthrone Ruyi as King Zhao."

Liu Bang suddenly spoke.

"It should have been like this long ago."

Liu Bang wanted to say something, but stopped again and complained: "I might really have to listen to the suggestions of Confucians. There is no etiquette in the court. Zhou Chang dares to call me Jie and Zhou! I see, I will find an opportunity to dismiss him as a censor and let him be the prime minister of King Zhao."

Empress Lu looked at him, sneered disdainfully, and said, "Yes."

The couple are very familiar with each other and don’t even need to say anything more, they already understand each other’s thoughts.

After saying these few words, the two of them fell silent again. They seemed to have nothing to say, Liu Bang did not, and Empress Lu did not. After a long time, Empress Lu finally stood up. She glanced at the figure that flashed past outside the side door, said nothing, and turned coldly and left Xuanshi Hall.

"Oh, by the way, when you go back, send someone to send Chang Liu to me!"

"Um."

After Empress Lu left, Concubine Qi quickly flashed into the hall. Her eyes were red, she rushed into Liu Bang's arms and started crying.

Liu Bang naturally started to wipe her tears in a hurry. When asked about the reason, Concubine Qi said miserably: "Please give us mother and son a death. If the prince ascends the throne in the future, our mother and son will definitely be worse than death."

Liu Bang laughed, picked her up, pecked her on her face, and said loudly: "Don't worry, Ruyi will be fine. I have found the best candidate for him to protect him. With him, Ruyi is safe. After all, she owes him such a big favor."

When Empress Lu was about to go to the Jiaofang Hall, she happened to meet the young prince, Liu Ying, who was about to pay homage to the queen.

There were four elderly people following Liu Ying, but they were very respectful to Liu Ying. They followed Liu Ying not far behind him, lowering their heads and showing great respect. Several old people followed behind a boy so respectfully, and this scene seemed a bit inconsistent.

The prince knelt down to Empress Lu very seriously and bowed very respectfully.

Liu Ying is probably the kind of child that all parents want. From childhood to adulthood, he has been very well-behaved. He never dares to disobey his parents on weekdays. He started studying at a very young age, being filial to his parents and being friendly to others. Even if he is patient with Liu Chang, the devil king in the world.

He was very courteous to ministers and very friendly to scholars. He often asked some people to debate academic thoughts.

This made Liu Ying famous many good things. Almost no minister in the entire temple didn't like him. His prestige was very high, and even if Liu Bang did his own arbitrarily, he could not destroy him. This was a very good child.

Empress Lu walked in front, and Liu Ying followed her carefully.

"My mother must not anger her father because of her son's minister. Her son's minister does not want to cause disagreement in the family because of her own reasons. I heard from those who say that the royal family is harmonious and the people in the world are harmonious... If the mother's queen is in disagreement with her father, she will feel guilty and uneasy."

"Um."

Empress Lu nodded coldly, as cold as terrible, almost no one dared to look up at her, including her biological son Liu Ying. Since childhood, Liu Ying was also very afraid of this mother and spoke carefully, for fear that any words would anger her.

"Your position has been settled, and no one can change it anymore. Although your father sent someone to save his life, he can no longer compete with you."

"My mother, my son is not greedy for power. If I can do good deeds and do good deeds with the world, then my son is willing to give up this position. My son believes that the only way for the brothers to be harmonious..."

"Um."

Empress Lu coldly interrupted Liu Ying's long speech. Liu Ying did not speak anymore and continued to follow Empress Lu.

"I hope my mother takes good care of herself..."

Liu Ying finally said a lot of words to let Empress Lu take good care of her health, and once again made a series of long comments on many issues within the royal family, and then said goodbye to Empress Lu.

During these years, Liu Ying would visit the emperor and the queen every day. Every day, he would ask them to take good care of their health. Every day, he would have long comments, citing scriptures, respectful and meticulous.
