"Wow~~~"

In the middle of the night, loud cries came from Houde Hall.

There was a fire in the hall, and Liu Chang was pacing back and forth in the hall while holding the little guy in his arms with a look of helplessness. When he started walking like this, the little guy stopped crying and slept soundly. Liu Chang yawned and looked at

The little guy in his arms gradually fell asleep, and he tiptoed into the inner room. He just secretly put the little guy on the bed, but the little guy just felt something was wrong and immediately started crying again.

"Okay, okay, I won't let it go! I won't let it go!!"

Liu Chang shouted, and continued walking outside with the little guy in his arms, muttering: "Can't Shu just give birth to a child that won't cry like others?"

"Jian, Xiang and the others don't cry. You're the only one crying here every day...Oh, stop crying, stop crying..."

"Can I beg you? Stop crying!!"

"I'm going to beat you if you cry again?"

"OK OK...."

Under the night, Liu Chang wandered back and forth, coaxing in a low voice, and the little guy fell asleep again.

The next day, when Cao Shu woke up, Liu Chang was standing not far away, holding the little guy in his arms. His eyes were bloodshot, but there was a slight smile on his face. Cao Shu was stunned and hurriedly went up

Before that, he took the child from his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you didn't sleep all night? Are you crying?"

"I'm not crying... Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"Hey, Your Majesty, you can ask your attendant to hold you."

"Why should my son be carried by a servant?"

"When I was away, you were always taking care of me. Now that I am back, you should sleep more and leave the child to me."

Cao Shu looked at Liu Chang with some distress and said, "Your Majesty, please go and sleep for a while first."

After Liu Chang had eaten, he lay weakly on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Until noon, Liu Chang vaguely felt something sticking to his face. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a meat ball. Well, it was An crawling on him. At this moment, his legs were on

Liu Chang's face kept kicking, and Liu Chang laughed, grabbed the little guy, stood up, put the little guy in his arms, and got off the bed.

While Cao Shu was busy, Liu Chang held the child in his arms and swaggered out of the house, aiming for Jiaofang Hall.

"Mom~~~"

When Liu Chang walked into the Jiaofang Hall, Queen Lu seemed to be waiting for him. Seeing him holding the child with one hand, Queen Lu frowned and cursed: "Two hands!"

"oh."

"Bring it over."

Empress Lu took the child, put it in her arms, and comforted him gently. Liu Chang looked at him enviously, "Mom, can you take my place after he lies down? You haven't stroked my back for a long time.

, coax me to sleep..."

Empress Lu rolled her eyes at him, "Aren't you afraid of embarrassment?"

"What's so shameful about this? I haven't even been crowned yet!"

Empress Lu ignored him and just coaxed her grandson in her arms. Liu Chang felt that his position was not guaranteed... He sat helplessly in front of Empress Lu and asked his attendants to bring him food, and then he ate heartily.

While eating, he said: "This Zhuzi is really noisy. It was noisy all night last night..."

"Oh, that's really like my father."

"Huh?? I never cry!!"

"You are the one who cries the most."

"Mom, when do you think he can go out with me?"

"What do you want to take him to do? To sneak around?!"

"Well... I am a wise king. How can I do such a thing? I just want to take him to study or something."

After finishing the meal, Liu Chang looked at Empress Lu, who was all thinking about her grandson, with a dazed look in her eyes.

"Mom...time flies by so fast...I've become a father...I never thought about it, it's too fast, too fast."

"What you should be thinking about now is what to do with Cao Shu...what to do with Liu An?"

"You have a child before you get married to Cao Shu... Have you ever thought about what An will do when he grows up? Will he be considered a legitimate eldest son? Or a concubine?"

Liu Chang frowned and said seriously: "Since my mother has given the order, just marry him... As for An, even if he is the eldest son, from now on, he will be my prince of the Tang Dynasty. I must teach him well and let him become a

A qualified successor...he must be better than a mere mediocre person!"

Queen Lu shook her head and said, "You can handle these things yourself."

Liu Chang then asked: "How do you plan to treat Zhao Tuo?"

Speaking of Zhao Tuo, Queen Lu's face became very ugly.

"This guy is talking nonsense and alienating the kings. His crime is punishable by death."

"Ji Bu's speed is really fast."

Liu Chang sighed with emotion, and then said: "Mom, Zhao Tuo cannot be killed."

Queen Lu looked at him coldly but said nothing.

"Before Zhao Tuo left, he had already settled his affairs. Killing him would not help. Instead, it would make the other foreigners who were watching not dare to come and join him. I am going to take back many foreign kings for my own use, and together we will attack the Xiongnu.

, at this time, it is not appropriate to kill the foreign king who comes to see you."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"That's what I think... As for Zhao Tuo, we will reward him to appease the foreign kings, but we will not lift the ban on South Vietnam. We will give great rewards to the tribes of South Vietnam to win over their people and divide their tribes.

If you want to obtain supplies, let these tribes personally bring merchants to the Han Dynasty and get rewards from the Han Dynasty."

"I think we can let the fourth brother take charge of the Wu Kingdom and the sixth brother go to South Korea."

"Fourth brother has talent, let him deal with the barbarians in the south..."

Liu Chang talked about his thoughts, and Empress Lu listened carefully, "Let Heng be the King of Wu..." Empress Lu thought deeply and said, "Zhao Tuo will arrange it in Chang'an first, and other things will be done later."

Slow down."

Liu Chang did not say anything more about this matter. He added: "Mom... there is one more thing. I went to many places this time. Many officials heard that I was coming and came to visit them one after another. They did their best to flatter me.

During the conversation with them, I discovered that there are many things that officials in various places oppress the people for the sake of political performance."

"Ever since my mother began to vigorously promote officials in various countries, these people have abused their people's power in order to obtain political achievements. In winter, there are even officials who are forcing people to build roads...taking this as their own political achievements. If this continues, the world

I don’t know how many more Chen Sheng and Wu Guang will appear, but the main reason is that the supervision of them is not enough... I think it is necessary to arrange an angel in each place to be responsible for supervising the local area."

"If the censor cannot suppress the local officials, he can set up another position. He will not interfere in government affairs, but he can supervise many officials including the county governor and report their actions to the temple at all times."

Empress Lu was thoughtful and said, "Okay, I will handle this matter."

Queen Lu raised her head, looked at the son in front of her who was strong and gradually gained the majesty of a king, and said with emotion: "Chief, you have finally grown up."

"Hahaha, that's natural!"

Liu Chang grinned stupidly.

Liu Chang could no longer lie in his mother's arms. He couldn't lie down at all. Even if he could lie down, he would probably hurt his mother... Therefore, now his mother's arms belong to Liu An. Empress Lu

He loved this "concubine" grandson who had no status and loved him very much, even more than his biological son Changsun Xiang.

Maybe it was because of Aiwujiwu, or maybe it was because Liu An did accompany her when Liu Chang was away. Anyway, when Empress Lu coaxed Liu An to sleep, a certain king felt very sad, and his family status was reduced.

one.

When Liu Chang took the little guy back to Houde Hall, Cao Shu was waiting for him.

Liu Chang pondered for a moment and said: "Someday, I will take you to worship Duke Cao."

A trace of sadness flashed in Cao Shu's eyes, and she said: "Okay... Actually, after my father learned about my situation, he was very happy. He called his brother over, scolded him, and asked him why he couldn't follow his sister-in-law.

Learn from it... He always wanted to see my child... but... he couldn't see it."

"He fought everywhere and suffered too many injuries. He endured the pain...until he died, he never cried out in pain."

Liu Chang lowered his head. What Cao Shu said was true. Cao Shen, who was second in merit in founding the Han Dynasty, had fought too many battles in his life. Likewise, he had suffered many injuries. There were almost no intact parts of his body. He was covered in bruises.

It is not easy for him to survive the shocking scars until now.

Naturally, Liu Chang didn't know that Cao Shen in history, tortured by illness, left with him after just a few years of supporting the new emperor. But he persists to this day, probably because of Liu Chang, a "rebel."

”, which made him unable to leave at ease and persisted in fighting to the end.

"Then did he say anything?"

"Before my father died... I told the king... that the king must take off Mao Dun's head and come to worship him."

"He said that he had defeated countless enemies in his life, but he could not defeat the powerful enemy of the Xiongnu... Only when he saw the head of Mao Dun could he rest in peace."

Liu Chang took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and said solemnly: "I, Liu Chang, swear to God that I will cut off Mao Dun's head to worship my father-in-law! If I can't do it, I will die without a burial place!"

!”

Cao Shu was shocked and was about to say something, but Liu Chang frowned and reprimanded: "This is an agreement between men, you don't need to say more!"

Cao Shu lowered her head, "Wei."

After Liu Chang swore, his face softened slightly and he asked with a smile: "Shu... look, can I take An out to meet my brothers?"

"Your Majesty, it's so cold outside. An is still young and can't go out."

"Forehead..."

Liu Chang was a little frustrated. He had a son but couldn't show it off to others. So what's the use of having a son?

Cao Shu blinked and said, "Although An can't go out, the king can invite friends to the Houde Hall."

"Hahaha! Yes!!"
