Dahan first prince

Chapter 193 I bow down and take care of myself, the prince continues to supervise the country!
A whisper that was soft and so low that no one in the hall could hear it finally made Liu Ying completely stunned.

"well done······"

After repeating the short four words with a blank expression, Liu Ying raised her head dully, and looked at the old emperor Liu Bang with only a little bewilderment in her eyes.

After a while like this, when Liu Bang looked at Liu Ying with a hint of guilt, Liu Ying suddenly lowered her head, bit her lips tightly, and sobbed silently.

"Father..."

With an extremely desolate cry, Liu Ying finally couldn't hold back the tears that came up, knelt down on the ground with a bang, leaned over and began to cry loudly.

"Father~"

"Son, my son..."

"Son!"

Seeing Liu Ying wailing out of breath, the courtiers and officials kneeling on the east and west sides of the hall all showed moved expressions on their faces.

Since 14 years ago, the Second Emperor was established, and the world was in chaos. Six years ago, the overlord Xiang Yu committed suicide in Wujiang, Han Zuo was established, and now...

In the past 14 years, whoever has had the worst life among the Liu clan in the whole world is undoubtedly the prince Liu Ying who was registered as the heir apparent by Liu Bang ten years ago.

——In the historical records of later generations, 14 years ago, the first emperor died on the sand dunes, and the second emperor stood up immediately. Qin Gongzi Fusu and general Meng Tian were killed by Zhao Gao and Li Si.

But few people noticed that in the same year, a baby named 'Liu Ying' was quietly born in Zhongyangli, Fengyi.

A few years after he was born, that is, when Liu Bangxing attacked Qin and was able to enter Xianyang first, and was given a Hongmen banquet by Xiang Yu for this reason, Liu Ying, who was still in his infancy, was kept by Liu Bang together with his mother Lu Zhi. In a turbulent abundance.

Afterwards, Liu Bang was able to retreat from the Hongmen Banquet, and when Xiang Yu named him King of Han, Liu Ying, the eldest son of Han King, was put under house arrest by Xiang Yu in the former residence of Fengpei together with his mother Lu Zhi, grandfather Liu Xie, and grandfather Lu Wen. Han Wang Liu Bang's successor.

Several years passed like this, and it was not until the Battle of Pengcheng between the Chu and Han Dynasties that Liu Bang, the commander of the coalition forces of the princes, advanced all the way, and when he approached Pengcheng, the capital of Chu, Liu Ying was able to return to his father Liu Bang.

But it was also after that war that Queen Lu Pheasant of the Han Dynasty and Grand Duke Liu Yu were completely imprisoned by Xiang Yu; Liu Ying, who was able to return to her father, was also kicked off the carriage several times by Liu Bang on the way Liu Bang fled... ··

If Xia Houying hadn't stiffened his neck and was hacked to death by Liu Bang with a knife, he would have insisted on picking up the current prince Liu Ying and Princess Lu Yuan Liu Le's sister and brother, Liu Ying would have died in the chaos of the war long ago among.

Pengcheng was defeated, and the strategic situation of Han and Chu was reversed in an instant; in order to get the support of his uncle Lu Ze, Liu Bang had no choice but to make Liu Ying his crown prince.

However, what was sent to Liu Ying together with the canonized royal edict was a warrant to "enter the customs first and stay temporarily in Liyang".

In this way, Liu Ying, who was able to escape from his hometown Fengpei, obtained the status of a "Han Prince", and was "imprisoned" in Liyang, which is now Xinfeng.

A few years later, Liu Bang, king of Han, defeated Xiang Yu, king of Chu, and succeeded him as emperor in Luoyang.

The crown prince Liu Ying became the crown prince; the emperor Liu Xi and the empress Lu Zhi, who had been imprisoned by Xiang Yu for several years, finally regained their freedom.

It was also from then on that the battles between Lu Zhi and Qi Ji, Liu Ying and Liu Ruyi for the position and reserve position quietly kicked off...

Recalling everything that happened in the past ten years, the courtiers and officials in the palace, such as Xiao He, Zhou Bo and others, all cast sympathetic eyes on Liu Ying who was kneeling and crying.

——In the past ten years, the Han Dynasty has grown from nothing, from weak to strong, from living in a corner, to becoming rich and prosperous!
It is precisely these ten years that the crown prince Liu Ying has spent her youth when she was not rich or even considered "stable".

At this moment, seeing Liu Ying who was wronged to the point of kneeling and crying after being wronged by Liu Bang's "good job", everyone in the hall felt even more embarrassed.

And the thoughts in everyone's hearts were finally turned into tears by Liu Bang's apologetic soft words.

"A few years old, prince, I have suffered..."

Hearing Liu Bang's whisper, although everyone in the hall did not dare to speak in agreement, they all secretly nodded in unison.

—Who said no?

No matter how smart and precocious, Liu Ying is still a 14-year-old boy after all...
Don't talk about ordinary people and peasants in Guizhou, just talk about the meritorious Hou Guixun, what are the children in the family like at Liu Ying's age?
——The frequency of cockfighting and running dogs is lower, and if you can occasionally read books and exercise your muscles and bones, it is enough to be called "a tiger father has no dogs" in the market!

Not to mention Liu Ying, after experiencing such an unbearable juvenile period, not only did she not grow crooked, but she became what she is now, which is not only admirable, but also full of surprises...

Leaving aside the superiority and inferiority of the emperor and the father and the son, Liu Bang, as a father, should feel ashamed of Liu Ying for this alone!

Obviously, the shame in Liu Bang's heart at this moment is not much lower than the psychological expectations of all the officials in the palace.

Seeing that Liu Bang was at a loss for a long time, he bent down with a complicated expression and pulled Liu Ying up from the ground.

When Liu Ying looked up her teary face, she saw Liu Bangman smiled gently, holding Liu Ying's cheek with his hands, and wiped away the tears and snot on Liu Ying's face.

"At the age of fourteen, I will be my husband."

"He is not only a husband, but also my own son, the heir of the country, so he should not show his face to others."

"Be prudent, stay calm, and put on airs..."

"The crown prince's shelf..."

"The shelf of the emperor..."

With a volume that only Liu Ying and herself could hear, softly said these "pointing" words, Liu Bang sighed slightly full of feelings, and immediately turned sideways.

He stretched out his hand again to adjust the position of the sword on Liu Ying's waist, only to see Liu Bang raised his head with a light smile.

"Very good!"

"It's very majestic, quite worthy of my appearance!"

Said a word with a full expression of determination, and when Liu Ying broke through her tears and smiled, Liu Bang turned slightly sideways without any trace.

Although his gaze was still fixed on Liu Ying's tear-stained face, what the old emperor said next was obviously for the courtiers and officials in the palace.

"The Scarlet Heaven Sword was used when I was in the last days of my life, when I worked hard in Dangshan Mountain, when I was drunk at night and met a white snake on the road, I used it to kill the snake!"

"This sword is a national weapon for me to win the fate, to defeat the tyrant Qin, to win the permission of heaven, and to establish the Han society!"

When he said this in a solemn tone, Liu Bang lowered his head with a faint smile, and patted Liu Ying's ear.

"Such a national weapon is exactly as the prince said: Only the Son of Heaven can bear its weight!"

After saying that, Liu Bang turned around, looked in the direction of the courtiers and officials in the hall, and smiled with his hands behind his back.

"However, in the early spring, I was sick because of the coldness of Zhao's generation. Today, the traitor Chen Xi has not been crowned, so I can't go back first, and rest in Chang'an."

"That is to rest and recuperate, and I have no reason to abandon my generation, ignore Zhao Zhan, and govern the state affairs in Chang'an."

As he said that, Liu Bang cast his sharp eyes on the courtiers and officials in the palace in order, as if he wanted to see through the minds of the hundred and ten people!
After looking around like this for a week, Liu Bang suddenly smiled again, and turned to look at Liu Ying again.

"My intention: the crown prince, you should still be in charge of supervising the country for the time being..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall immediately frowned, even Liu Ying, who was smiling and weeping in front of Liu Bang, couldn't help being stunned.

Prince······
Continue to supervise the country?

this······

"What does His Majesty mean by this move?"

Almost at the same time, this question popped up in the minds of hundreds of courtiers and officials in the palace.

It stands to reason that the emperor Liu Bang left Dai and Zhao Zhanshi on the grounds of "returning to Beijing for recuperation" because of his "sacred bow", and returned to Chang'an first.

But the crux of the problem is: Even in the past, in a healthy and lively state, the emperor Liu Bang was basically a gesture of throwing his hands away to the government affairs of the DPRK and China!
As for the reason, it's not because Liu Bang was insane and indulged in pleasure all day long, "the king doesn't go to court early".

In this way, whether it was the period of Chu-Han struggle for hegemony before the Han Li, or the past few years after the Han Li, the emperor Liu Bang basically led his troops away; the affairs of the Chang'an court, big and small, were always handled by Prime Minister Xiao He.

Secondly, even in the days when Liu Bang did not go on a campaign and stayed in Chang'an, Liu Bang seldom interfered with the affairs of the court and China.

Once upon a time, there were a few "smart people" who tried to bypass Prime Minister Xiao He and directly consult the emperor on government affairs in an attempt to gain Liu Bang's trust.

But after Liu Bang irritatedly said, "Go and find Xiao He", in today's court, there are very few "lucky ministers" who pretend to be smart and appear...
In fact, after so many years, the courts and departments have basically become accustomed to the operation mode of "wan ask Xiao He for instructions in advance, rather than entering the palace to meet the saint".

Under this premise, Liu Bang, who seldom intervened in the government affairs, specially proposed that "I want to rest, and the prince will continue to handle the government affairs"...

"Could it be that Your Majesty, like the family, is dissatisfied with Xiao Xiang?"

For a moment, the eyes of all the people in the hall gathered at the Xixi courtiers lineup, kneeling tightly on Prime Minister Xiao He who was a few steps down the imperial steps.

Seeing this, Liu Bang also turned his head with a meaningful smile.

"Marquis Feng thinks it's good?"

After saying that, Liu Bang did not forget to turn around again, and lightly touched Liu Ying's chest with the back of his hand.

"What about the prince?"

"Do you still have the strength to replace me and bear the burden of the world?"

With just this one word, everyone in the hall hurriedly raised their heads and looked at Liu Bang with a sense of sacredness as a witness to history!
If Liu Bang mentioned earlier that "I'm not feeling well, the prince will help me look at the court", it meant that there is no silver 300 taels here, or that he didn't trust Xiao He, then in this sentence "Prince But I can still act on my behalf and bear the weight of the world." After that, the courtiers and officials in the palace no longer hesitated.

Emperor Liu Bang, this is a major event that is bound to happen in the next few years if he wants to plan the layout in advance!
— Handover of power!
And after the old emperor, especially the old emperor who was the founder of the country, clearly revealed his intention of 'I'm going to start preparing for the handover of power', as long as the water in the minds of the courtiers and officials is not overflowing, it is absolutely impossible to speak Oppose, just make yourself unhappy!
No, even Yong Chi, the well-recognized 'hate' in the court, immediately lowered his head when he heard Liu Bang asked Liu Ying such a question in a seemingly casual tone, pretending to be 'I'm a wooden man' posture.

Hearing this question, Liu Yingzong had been mentally prepared for it, and her expression suddenly became a little solemn!
When Liu Bang's question came to Liu Ying's ears, the subtext implied in it was uncomplicated.

——Do you have the confidence to continue to take my place and exercise the power and obligations that only the Son of Heaven possesses?

Undoubtedly, for such a question, any man with blood and ideals will definitely nod his head solemnly: have confidence!

Not to mention that since the crossing, she has walked on thin ice every day, and planned the layout back and forth, and even used the entire previous life as a failure experience to get to Liu Ying today.

"finally······"

"It's the day..."

After secretly settling her mind, she took another deep breath, and a solemn look suddenly appeared on Liu Ying's face!
"Son!"

As soon as she opened her mouth full of confidence, Liu Ying felt her shoulders sinking before she could say the second half of the sentence!
In the blink of an eye, scenes like slides flashed in Liu Ying's mind.

——In the memory of the original owner, the hungry people with disheveled faces curled up by the side of the road;
——After Liu Ying ascended the throne in her previous life, on the way to the forest garden on a safari, she saw the deeply bent backs in the fields;
And in this life, Liu Ying went to Sanyuan to renovate the Zhengguo Canal, but only made a promise of "everyone will be given half a stone of rice". Weibei Minzhuang;
When Liu Ying went to Changling and was assassinated outside Tian's mansion, all the Changlings who looked terrified and did not forget to gather around Liu Ying immediately wanted to protect Liu Ying from being attacked by the assassins. The servants and servants of Ling Haoqiang's family...

After one after another of the portraits flashed through her mind in the blink of an eye, Liu Ying realized what the heavy weight on her shoulders was.

Raising his head, it was the old emperor Liu Bang who was not angry and prestige, but also implied hopeful eyes;

Turning his head to the side, it was the Prime Minister Xiao He who was not clear about his sorrows and joys, but quietly waiting with his ears up.

Lowering your head, what flashed through your mind were all living beings who had a hard life but never lost hope for the Han family and the Liu family...

"Whoo~"

Strong self-adjusting breathing, under the heavy pressure of Wanjun, she straightened her back with difficulty, and Liu Ying looked at Liu Bang's eyes, which were finally so clear that no impurities could be seen.

"Son!"

"Don't dare to live up to such a great trust from my father!"

After resolutely saying this, Liu Ying finally felt a lightness on her shoulders, and the heavy weight that was overwhelming before seemed to dissipate in an instant.

But Liu Ying clearly understood: the burden did not dissipate, but was secretly hidden in her heart by Liu Ying's consciousness.

But even if it is hidden in the bottom of my heart, this weight will definitely be a promise that Liu Ying will not dare to make or forget for a moment in her whole life!
This commitment is also called responsibility and mission.

If the old emperor Liu Bang in front of Liu Ying knew what Liu Ying was thinking at this time, then Liu Bang would definitely tell Liu Ying: This is also the first priority that the Chinese kings of all dynasties have never dared or forgotten.

This 'first priority' is called the common people, the people;
It is called all living beings, it is called common people and Li Shu...
