Dahan first prince

Chapter 192 I'm not here, the prince did a good job
The farce in the eastern suburbs finally followed Liu Bang's holy driver into the Changle Palace, leaving tens of thousands of Chang'an people crying and crying, and ended quietly.

Encouraged by her mother, Lu Zhi, to support the old prime minister, Xiao He, hanging far behind her father Liu Bang's imperial chariot, Liu Ying still felt that what happened just now was so unreal...
It's like a dream!

——When did the Emperor Liu Bang treat Liu Ying so tenderly?

Not to mention the crown prince Liu Ying, even Liu Ruyi, the youngest son who was favored by Liu Bang half a year ago, could only be praised by Liu Bang as "like me" and "smart".

As for Chaozhong Gonghou Yuanxun, or Liu's clan relatives, let alone.

Among Liu's family members, the one with the deepest friendship and the best relationship with Liu Bang is undoubtedly the youngest son of the former emperor and the only younger brother of the emperor Liu Bang-the King of Chu, Liu Jiao.

But even towards this younger brother, the emperor Liu Bang's attitude is more easy-going and friendly.

If he remembered something unpleasant, or if Liu Bang was playing too much, and kicked Liu Jiao's ass twice half-jokingly, no one would think there was a problem!

But today, under the watchful eyes of all the courtiers and officials, and tens of thousands of people in Chang'an, the emperor Liu Bang put on an extremely humble attitude and said the sentence: If the prince does anything wrong in the future , everyone, for my sake, don't be too fussy with the prince...

Is Liu Bang's remark tactfully blaming Liu Ying?

Or maybe he was dissatisfied with Liu Ying's performance in the past six months and worried about the future, so he let go of his old face and begged the people of Chang'an to be more generous to Liu Ying?
Obviously, neither.

With today's experience, it is no exaggeration to say: in the future, when Liu Bang dies and Liu Ying becomes emperor, even the entire palace where Liu Ying lives will be occupied by rebellious officials and thieves. As long as Liu Ying can find a way to climb Go up to the palace wall, throw away your arms and raise your arms, and tens of thousands of people in Chang'an will all brandish hoes and rakes into the palace because of Liu Bang's "pleading" today, and save Liu Ying from the fire and water!
What's more, even if Liu Ying also imitated the Emperor Wu Zhu in history, he only cared about extravagance and extorted money, which made the people of the world miserable. As long as Liu Ying can "get back from the wrong way" in the end, the people all over the world will see Liu Bang's attitude today. There is a high probability that the past will be ignored.

This is the rich political legacy that Liu Bang brought to Liu Ying in this stage play staged today.

——In the original history, when Emperor Taizong Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty passed away, he left an imperial edict: The emperor's grandson xx is quite worthy of my appearance, and when he is old, he can rule the world.

When this edict with the name left blank was handed over to the crown prince Liu Qi, who was later Emperor Han Jing, Liu Heng confessed: I have been in power for 24 years, and thanks to the blessing of my ancestors, I have been respected by the people of the world; The emperor and grandson of the utensils can be enshrined in the ancestral temple, their names can be recorded and taboo in this imperial edict, and the world can be announced in my name, or they can be a little bit more majestic as the prince...

In the end, the imperial edict of "Establishing a grandson after another generation" was retained by Emperor Jing Liu Qi for a full ten years.

After the rebellion of Wu, Chu and Seven Kingdoms subsided, Emperor Jing Liu Qi, who abolished the prince Liu Rong and killed the prince's biological mother Su Ji, finally wrote the word "Liu Che" in the blank space of the former emperor's edict.

What happened afterward is well known.

——Emperor Jing Liu Qi felt that time was running out, so at the age of 17, Prince Liu Che held up his sick body with half of his neck buried in the ground, and crowned Liu Che in advance.

Soon, Emperor Jing Liu Qi died, and Prince Liu Che succeeded to the throne, known in history as: Emperor Shizong Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty...

But today, in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, Liu Bang, the founding emperor, made a gesture of "after my death, the crown prince will succeed, everyone should take care of me".

The significance of this gesture to Liu Ying is no less than that of the "canonization edict" left by Hanwen Emperor Liu Heng for his young grandson Liu Che in history.

——After today's experience, Liu Ying, who will ascend the throne in the future, will at least be like the historical Wu Emperor Liu Che. He will have at least one chance to act recklessly throughout his life, and when he dies, he will send an edict of sin to clean up the hearts of the people.

And this opportunity...

"This kind of opportunity, whoever likes to use it!"

"Don't be an orphan like Liu Che, who spends money everywhere all his life, making the people of the world miserable, and when he gets old, he will commit misery to himself..."

"You can learn from beating the Huns violently..."

Thinking this way, Liu Ying quietly straightened her waist, under the gradually awe-inspiring eyes of the courtiers and officials.

——If before today, [-]% of Liu Ying's crown prince would be safe, then from today onwards, the remaining [-]% would no longer exist!
At the moment when the emperor Liu Bang made no secret of his intentions that "after my death, the prince will succeed to the throne", there is no one person or force that can pull Liu Ying from the position of the crown prince!
Including Liu Bang himself, is no exception!
After realizing this, Liu Ying's mood quietly flew to the Changle Palace, the Xuande Palace that was bustling half a year ago, but now is extremely desolate.

"Liu Ruyi..."

"My lonely brother..."

"hey-hey······"

"Never mind."

"For this sake, there is no need to worry about it..."

·
Nine months later, when Liu Bang's elderly figure appeared again in the Changxin Main Hall of Changle Palace, the originally slightly remote hall was suddenly occupied by a strong heat.

Under the watchful eyes of the courtiers and officials, he walked up the imperial steps, and once again sat on the royal couch that was full of majesty and was a little 'unfamiliar' to Liu Bang, Liu Bang only frowned slightly.

"Ok?"

"Previously, didn't everyone say that the emperor sword Chi Xiao was enshrined on the imperial couch for the prince..."

While muttering to himself, Liu Bang cast his doubtful eyes on Liu Ying who was under the imperial steps.

The moment he saw Liu Ying, the doubt in Liu Bang's eyes turned into a meaningful smile.

"What is in the hands of the prince?"

Asking pretending not to know, Liu Bang even did not forget to lean his upper body forward a little, and narrowed his eyes a little as if he couldn't see what was in Liu Ying's hand clearly.

Hearing Liu Bang's question, Liu Ying didn't dare to neglect at all, she just knelt down with a serious expression and raised the tray in her hand above her head.

"To my father!"

"This is the Chixiao Tianzi sword of the false minister before the emperor!"

Saying something in an extremely solemn tone, Liu Ying put down the tray a little bit, to the position in front of her chest.

"Being entrusted with the heavy responsibility of supervising the country by the father, at the age of half a year, my son is trembling, lest he make mistakes and ruin the government of the court!"

"Fortunately, my father, Huang Lian'er, sent Qu Nihou to return with the Scarlet Heaven Sword, using the majesty of the fake son."

Speaking of this, Liu Ying did not forget to put on a stiff smile with lingering fear at the right time, and then turned her head to the side. The courtiers and officials on both sides of the hall smiled and nodded, and then looked up at the emperor Liu Bang again.

"Father is away on an expedition, and his son's affairs are around the officials of the court, and he has gained a lot from the affairs of the court."

As she said that, Liu Ying lowered her head with a solemn expression, and looked at the Chixiao Sword on the tray in her hand.

"Also Chi Xiaojian erected the Changxin Palace on behalf of the father, and my son never forgets the teachings of the father day and night, and dare not make a mistake."

"At the age of half a year, whenever my son is worried about the heavy burden, it will be like this; but seeing the Chixiao Sword standing on the imperial couch, my heart is at ease!"

Saying this with a look of reminiscence on her face, Liu Ying smiled slightly, and raised the tray in her hand above her head again.

"Father, Lian'er, use the Scarlet Heaven Sword to fake your majesty, son, thank you for your kindness!"

"However, the Scarlet Heaven Sword is Your Majesty's royal sword, a proof of the prosperity of our Han Dynasty!"

"The only one who can bear the weight of such a country's heavy weapon is my father!!!
"Today, my father's class teacher, my son will no longer pretend to be my father's majesty, and supervise the principles of government affairs; Chixiao Tianzi sword, I will return it to my father..."

After saying that, Liu Ying lowered her head even more, quietly waiting for Liu Bang's recognizable voice to come from above the imperial steps.

"Oh······"

"It's Chi Xiao..."

After a while, Liu Bang stood up with a thoughtful face, squinted his eyes, and looked at the tray in Liu Ying's hand for a long time.

Then, seeing Liu Bang suddenly smiled again.

"Hey!"

"I haven't seen you for a few months. I don't even recognize this sword. It's Chi Xiao, who was drunk and slashed white snakes in my past!"

Liu Bang spoke so well, the tray in Liu Ying's hand was finally brought to Liu Bang by the order of the eunuch beside Liu Bang.

Liu Bang picked up the sword on the tray casually, pulled out a section of the blade from the scabbard with light hands, fiddled with it, and put the sword back into the scabbard again.

There was a sound of a sharp blade returning to its sheath, and Liu Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just about to get up, she heard Liu Bang say something indifferently, causing Liu Ying to stop her movements quickly, and knelt back obediently.

"Just now outside the palace, I was confused: How can the prince hold the tray to welcome me?"

"I never thought that I wanted to return Chi Xiao to my hand..."

With a murmur of unknown meaning, Liu Bang stretched out the long sword in his hand and put it back on the tray.

"go."

"With the prince..."

Before Liu Bang finished speaking, Liu Ying's eyes widened in astonishment!
In the blink of an eye, Liu Ying knelt and took two steps forward with a terrified expression, and kowtowed to Liu Bang on the imperial steps!

"Father!"

"The weight of this sword, my son, cannot bear it!"

"Father, please take back your life!!!"

Seeing Liu Ying's terrified and terrified expression, even the courtiers and officials kneeling on both sides of the hall couldn't help opening their eyes slightly.

Regarding Liu Bang's insistence on giving Liu Ying the Chixiao Tianzi Sword, although the officials of Gonghou were not as frightened as Liu Ying, they couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

——That, but Emperor Sword Chi Xiao!
——In the mouths of the common people, the name of that sword is 'Sword of White Snake'!
Such a sword, not to mention the prince, even the emperor of Han in the future would not dare to hang it on his waist!

Go to the top of the sky, that is, in the future, it will be offered to Liu Bang's temple, and blood and food will be offered as sacrifices from time to time.

There is one and only one Akasaka Sword, who can hang it on his waist without blushing!

——Liu Bang today! ! !
Thinking of this, the astonishment on the faces of the courtiers and officials slowly solidified into reality.

For Liu Bang's idea of ​​dispelling Yi Chu, although the court officials felt a little abrupt, they were still psychologically prepared.

After all, no matter what, Liu Bang's physical condition is almost visible to the naked eye.

Let's just say this time, Liu Bang has never had a "royal expedition in person, but returned to Chang'an in advance before the rebels perished".

During Liu Bang's absence in Chang'an for more than half a year, the actions of Liu Ying, the Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom, really made people unable to find any faults.

In addition, Liu Ying has initially gained the approval of the people in Guanzhong by building canals and stabilizing grain prices; before that, Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi, who was a contender for the crown prince of Liu Ying, was also because of Changling Tian. Shi's case, and put some stains that cannot be treated by outsiders...
Combining all the above, Liu Bang gave up Yi Chu, and gradually prepared for the transfer of power, and transferred the power to the hands of Prince Liu Ying, which was already expected by the courtiers and officials.

As for just now, the scene that happened in the eastern suburbs surprised the courtiers and officials, but after careful consideration, it was logical.

——Since he no longer plans to store Yi Chu and his physical condition is deteriorating, Liu Bang naturally wants to start planning the layout, build momentum for Prince Liu Ying, and prepare for the handover of power.

But even so, Liu Bang insisted on giving Liu Ying the Chixiao Sword, which still made everyone a little unacceptable.

As for the reason...
"Father!"

"As the saying goes: only names and utensils, not fake people!"

Seeing that Liu Ying was silent for a moment, she bowed her hands to Liu Bang again with a panicked expression.

"Although my son is the prince and heir, but in front of the emperor, my son will always be a minister!"

"As long as the father is here, the son is the father's servant!"

"The Chixiao Tianzi Sword is a national weapon that only the father and emperor can inherit! How dare you accept it as a son and minister?"

Saying this in a panicked tone, Liu Ying kowtowed to Liu Bang again full of prayers!

"Father Wanwang pity your son for being weak, don't put such a heavy weapon on him!"

After saying that, Liu Ying pressed her forehead tightly to the ground, and put on a posture of "if the emperor doesn't agree, the son won't get up".

Seeing Liu Ying's attitude, there was a hint of agreement on the faces of everyone in the hall.

——That’s right~
——Akasaka Sword, how can you give it to the prince?
——Even if I give it, it can’t be now...
When the courtiers and officials were thinking about it, Liu Bang, who was above the imperial steps, had a panoramic view of the expressions on the faces of everyone in the palace.

Then, I saw Liu Bang lowered his head with a smile, walked down the imperial steps step by step, and came to Liu Ying's side.

"Get up..."

"Get up and talk..."

Liu Bangman's gentle, slightly weak voice came to his ears, and Liu Ying finally raised her head anxiously.

Seeing that her father was about to bend down again, Liu Ying jumped up from the ground, came to Liu Bang's side with a worried face, gently lifted the old emperor's arm, and made a gesture to help Liu Bang sit back on the imperial couch .

Seeing that Liu Bang just pulled his hand casually, Liu Ying felt that his hand was empty.

When she came to her senses, Liu Ying turned her head and saw that her father Liu Bang had squatted down and was struggling to tie the Scarlet Heaven Sword around her waist.

"Father..."

Before the words of panic came out, she heard Liu Bang's muffled cough, causing Liu Ying to be silent in a hurry.

Slowly tied the mythical Scarlet Heaven Sword to Liu Ying's still somewhat thin waist, and Liu Bangcai stood up slowly with his knees propped up.

"Hey~yo..."

Unable to suppress a muffled snort, Liu Bang finally straightened his back again, but ignored his sore back and looked at Liu Ying with relief.

Looking at it from the front, he adjusted the position of Chi Xiaojian, and gently grabbed Liu Ying's shoulder, motioning Liu Ying to turn around.

After looking back and forth, Liu Bang finally nodded in satisfaction and patted Liu Ying on the shoulder.

When Liu Ying raised her head with a dull expression, she saw her father Liu Bang holding her shoulders and looking at her eyes, which only showed what is meant by "five flavors".

"Father..."

Subconsciously let out a soft murmur, which finally made Liu Bang's complicated expression quietly turn into a warm smile that implied sobs.

"In the past half a year, I have done well..."
