Dahan first prince

Chapter 204 You Rebellious Son!Are you trying to burn me to death?
When Chuntuo returned to his residence depressed, and was planning to prepare a ceremony to visit Li Xin, the chief minister, Liu Ying also wandered to the outside of Changle Palace in a chariot.

What was slightly unexpected to Liu Ying was: Father Liu Bang didn't seem to have expected his arrival, nor did he send his Lang Guan and Nei Shi to meet Liu Ying outside Changle Palace.

Not being greeted by someone arranged by her father, Liu Ying had no choice but to come to the gate of the palace in a regular manner, explaining her intentions, and waiting for the guards at the palace gate to report.

Soon, Liu Ying was introduced to Changle Palace from the West Palace Gate by the jailer who reappeared at the palace gate.

But what made Liu Ying slightly puzzled was that when Liu Ying followed the jailer who led her to the outside of the Changxin Hall, she was not received by her father Liu Bang immediately.

Accompanied by the old eunuch Ling Gachao, she waited outside the Changxin Hall for a long moment before Liu Ying finally waited for a figure dressed as a servant to trot out of the hall.

After seeing Liu Ying's figure clearly, he saw that the attendant did not step forward, but came to the position three steps outside the threshold of the palace gate with his back straight, and immediately raised his head high.

"Your Majesty's edict~"

"Written: Prince Liu Ying, enter the palace to see you~"

Feeling this "Han ceremony" that she had never experienced before, Liu Yingrao felt awkward in her heart, and finally could only obediently kneel down and kowtow to the hall.

"Son, please follow the imperial edict..."

·
Walking into the main hall and stopping ten steps outside the imperial steps, Liu Ying took a deep breath and was about to kneel and kowtow.

However, above the imperial steps, there was a weak call from the emperor Liu Bang.

"Well······"

"Come forward..."

Hearing the sound, Liu Ying raised her head, and Liu Ying couldn't help but shift her probing gaze to her father Liu Bang on the imperial steps.

But Liu Bang looked like he was hangover, leaning sideways on the imperial couch, covering his forehead with his palms, and rubbing the corners of his forehead for a while.

He walked up the imperial steps with hesitation on his face, and before Liu Ying approached, a burst of pungent alcohol smell rushed towards Liu Ying.

"Hey······"

"At this age, I don't know how to relax..."

Seeing Liu Bang's appearance, how could Liu Ying not understand the situation?
——Needless to say anything else: half an hour ago, Liu Ying, who woke up in the Phoenix Hall of the Grand Palace, was in exactly the same state as Liu Bang at this time!
However, compared to Liu Ying, who is fifteen years old, the old emperor is in his sixtieth age, and it is obviously difficult to resist the damage of alcohol to the old body...

"Why don't you persuade the old guy?"

"A lot of age, still sick..."

While Liu Ying was thinking, she saw a figure quietly appearing on the side of the imperial steps, holding a bowl of hangover soup carefully in her hand, and slowly walked up the imperial steps.

Seeing this, Liu Ying only thought for a while, then quietly walked forward and took the soup bowl from the eunuch's hand.

Turning around, Liu Ying couldn't help smiling when she saw that her father still had a painful expression of "I don't want to drink anymore", and immediately scooped up some soup with a wooden spoon and brought it to her father's mouth.

Feeling a burst of warmth coming from his mouth, Liu Bang also slightly lifted his palm from the corner of his forehead, and opened his mouth subconsciously after seeing the wooden spoon clearly.

In the next moment, there was a rapid and extremely angry roar from the huge Changxin Hall...

"Asshole!!!"

His lips numb from the hot hangover soup, Liu Bang was so angry that he raised his hand and waved it!
Liu Bang's expression froze when the soup bowl fell to pieces around the imperial couch, and he saw Liu Ying knelt in front of the couch with a terrified expression regardless of the soup stains on her body.

"Um······"

He stared at Liu Ying angrily for a long time, but finally Liu Bang still frowned and turned sideways, shaking his head at the eunuch.

After a while, the surroundings of the imperial couch were restored to their original state again, Liu Bangcai forced himself to suppress his anger in his chest, carefully touched his lips, and lay back on the couch with annoyed face.

"Get up and talk!"

A light reprimand with lingering anger naturally provoked Liu Ying, who was kneeling and prostrating, to bounce off the ground like a spring, but she didn't dare to look up into Liu Bang's angry eyes.

After a while, the anger in Liu Bang's heart finally dissipated as the burning pain on his lips gradually subsided.

It's just that the old emperor obviously still has a heart for the burning pain just now.

"how?"

"You are so eager to let me ascend to heaven after receiving the gift of Chi Xiao from me, and the position is secure?!"

Hearing Liu Bang uttered this sentence with hidden annoyance, Liu Ying's already flustered face only buzzed and tightened!
Liu Ying calmed down a little when she heard that there was a little joke and ridicule in her father's angry tone.

"Father, forgive me..."

Taking advantage of the time of apologizing, Liu Ying's restless mood quietly returned to calm.

Afterwards, Liu Ying stepped forward with guilt on her face, and her tone of voice carried a little grievance and self-pity.

"Since I was a child, my son has often not seen his father face to face for a long time; when his father launched an army to attack Qin, his son and his father were separated by several years, and it was rare to see each other..."

"However, from the time my son can remember, the queen mother often taught him: as a son, you should be respectful and filial to your father, mother, and elders in front of you."

"After the establishment of the Han family, the father ascended the throne in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he liked the third brother and hated the son, and the son even asked the maids and servants in the palace to learn the art of serving the emperor..."

Speaking of this, Liu Ying lowered her head full of guilt, and the already weak volume was suppressed to the level of mosquitoes.

"However, for several years, my son has never been summoned by his father; the art of serving the emperor that he has learned has never been used in front of his father..."

"I was finally summoned by my father today, my son is full of joy, if you are not cautious for a while, Fang Xingchai will make a mistake..."

Without changing her face, she explained her mistake as "inexperienced and a little nervous", but Liu Ying felt ashamed for a while...

—— What are "nervous" and "overexcited", Liu Ying is simply a combination of more than ten years in her previous life and present life, and she is used to being served by others...

But as the saying goes: no coincidence makes a book.

It is precisely because of Liu Ying's guilty conscience that she showed guilt and anxiety, in the eyes of the emperor Liu Bang, it is more real.

It was also reminded by Liu Ying's words that Liu Bangcai reacted belatedly: since the Han Dynasty was established, and Liu Ying became the heir of the Han Dynasty from the time when the prince of the Han Dynasty became the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, the emperor Liu Bang seemed to never be alone again. Called Liu Ying......

In a short while, the hidden anger on Liu Bang's face was replaced by a guilt that could not be concealed even though he had tried his best to conceal it.

The anger that Liu Bang ignited because of burning his lips, along with this burst of guilt stemming from "father's unkindness", all disappeared.

"Um······"

"Sit down and talk."

With a cold greeting, Liu Bang casually pointed to the imperial couch, and the banquet that had already been laid, just like a child holding a grudge, lightly touched his lips with his fingers, and lay back on the couch again.

Seeing her father's reaction like this, Liu Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, bowed her hands to Liu Bang, and immediately knelt down on the banquet.

Liu Ying knew clearly: the seemingly random words of "self-identification" that she just said will inevitably make Liu Bang feel endless shame towards herself.

But Liu Ying also understands: the dignity of the founding emperor cannot be left behind by Liu Bang because of his guilt towards his son!
To be able to put on this attitude of 'you scalded my mouth, but I don't care about you', perhaps, is already the limit of the old emperor...
"Queen, how did you agree to this matter?"

After a brief silence, Liu Bang's questioning voice without warning came to Liu Ying's ears.

Hearing this question, Liu Yingzi also immediately reacted, what exactly did the "this matter" in the old man's mouth refer to.

After thinking for a while, Liu Ying raised her head respectfully.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw that her father was still lying flat on the imperial couch, only showing the top of her head towards her, even stroking her lower lip non-stop, Liu Ying couldn't help but shook her head and finally smiled.

"I still say I don't hold grudges..."

With a slander inwardly, Liu Ying cleared her throat in a low voice, and immediately cupped her hands above her head in sight.

"The temper of the queen mother is naturally clear to the emperor."

Saying something softly, Liu Ying's face could not help showing a little seriousness.

"Wang Yingbu of Huainan rebelled and rebelled, causing damage to the Kanto region, and his father returned to Beijing to recuperate due to illness. There is no way to conquer the rebellion himself."

"My son is the father and son of the emperor, and he is also the eldest son of the princes and the heir of the country!"

"There is something wrong with the country, but the emperor is sick, and because of emotion and reason, he should be a son-in-law and go out on behalf of the emperor to fight against the rebellious king!"

After saying this resolutely, Liu Ying quietly changed the subject, and there was some sincere respect in her tone.

"After reaching my mother, since my father ascended the throne in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he has been praised by the court for a long time as 'taking care of the overall situation' and 'mother respecting the world'."

"On weekdays, my mother may occasionally be paranoid about matters involving children and ministers; however, my mother has never done anything wrong in government affairs or state affairs."

"Today, if you want to go to war on behalf of your father, you should follow the principles of loyalty and filial piety, and you can solve the country's troubles."

"These things are related to the country, and can make the son fully loyal and filial. The queen mother has no reason to abolish the public for private reasons and insist on obstructing each other..."

Since Lu Zhi agreed to go to war on behalf of her father, it was all due to Lu Zhi's "consideration of the overall situation" and "knowledge of the general situation". Liu Ying put on a calm face and waited for her father Liu Bang's reply.

Hearing this, Liu Bang couldn't help but stop stroking his lips, and immediately bounced up from the imperial couch with a 'teng', casting his suspicious eyes on Liu Ying's calm and breezy face. superior.

In the shocked eyes of her father, Liu Ying even faintly saw the line "I don't read much, don't lie to me"...
But even so, Liu Ying still had that serious face, looking at Liu Bang with even a little doubt.

——Did the father think that the queen mother is not such a person?
Seeing Liu Ying's question almost clearly written on his face, Liu Bang only pondered for a long while with complexion turned, and finally lay back on the couch with a strange expression.

If Liu Ying hadn't mentioned it, Lu Zhi's image in Liu Bang's heart was almost a combination of all evils in the world!

But when Liu Ying said this, Liu Bang thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case.

——As long as Liu Ying is not involved, it can basically be properly dealt with in Lu Zhi's hands.

It's just that, the same as the previous attitude of "don't want me to apologize to my son", Liu Bang is absolutely unwilling to admit in person: Empress Lu Zhi is a good wife who cares about the general situation and understands the overall situation.

Liu Bang will not admit it: All Lu Zhi's hysteria, in the final analysis, is just someone who wants to hurt her precious son Liu Ying...
As Liu Bang lay back on the imperial couch again, the hall, which had just emerged with a little warmth, fell into a long silence again.

And from Liu Bang's attitude of "policy questioning", Liu Ying also inadvertently felt: For herself, Dad doesn't seem to want to face it directly...

"Too."

"Whoever Ren comes to say 'I abused my son a thousand times' with my own son, but whoever wants to show face, I dare not face it..."

Thinking of this, Liu Ying looked at the top of Liu Bang's head with more calmness.

I don't know why, it took half a moment for Liu Ying to enter the palace, but the emperor Liu Bang still didn't bring the topic to the point.

"Last night, the Empress seemed to have a banquet in the Announcement Room to celebrate with Lu's nephews and elders?"

"Hmm~"

"The prince's expedition to quell the rebellion, the queen should have explained it at the banquet."

There was another sudden whisper, but Liu Bang didn't get up from the couch again, but turned his head slightly and cast his gaze to an unknown corner in the hall.

"Hearing about this matter, no one speaks up at the banquet to stop it?"

Hearing this question, Liu Ying pondered for a while, then shook her head and smiled.

"Father, your eyes are like torches..."

"At yesterday's dinner, there were indeed two or three nephews of Lu's family and the elders of the Ministry who talked about the advantages and disadvantages of defeating the prince in suppressing the rebellion, in order to persuade the empress not to allow this matter."

When Liu Bang heard the words, he only gently said, "Oh? With a sound, he turned over, lay down on the imperial couch, and looked up at Liu Ying.

"What does the prince think?"

"Go out on my behalf, and use the incident of Ping Yingbu's chaos, does it match what these 'two or three people' said?"

When her father asked about the dinner yesterday, Liu Ying only thought that her father was wary of Lu's relatives and wanted to find out something from her.

The old man wanted to know that Liu Ying couldn't hide it completely, so she also used the vest of "two or three people" to put Lu Shizhi's remarks on the table to test Liu Bang's attitude.

Seeing that Liu Bang didn't care about the identities of the 'two or three people' at all, and asked her own opinion instead, Liu Ying finally realized: Dad, it should be to test her attitude.

Only then did Liu Ying put down her guard a bit, and gave a brief overview of what happened in the oath hall yesterday to Liu Bang.

"Yesterday, these 'two or three people' said in the proclamation room: Yingbu, this thief is extremely vicious and extremely talented in war. Only the father and the emperor personally conquer him, so that he can be quickly pacified."

"And my son's reserve position is safe, and I have never known about military affairs; if I go out to suppress the rebellion on behalf of my father, even if I win by chance, it will not be beneficial to my son's reserve position."

"What's more, if you are defeated by Yingbu, at least your majesty will be swept away, and you will be suspicious of your position; if you are more serious, you will be injured by a weapon, shaking the country, and the world may be in chaos..."

Listening to Liu Ying's detailed account of the content of "the pros and cons of countering the rebellion and defeating the prince", Liu Bang's face was only a little bit full of interest.

"Oh······"

"In this case, it is not unreasonable..."

Nodding and whispering as if agreeing, Liu Bang raised his eyelids again, looking at Liu Ying with a touch of scrutiny quietly.

"What is the prince's intention?"

"Even if Yingbu is so vicious, I can't destroy it without me, and the prince doesn't know about military affairs, and he doesn't need martial arts to secure his position. Why did he enter the palace to face me today?"

As he said that, Liu Bang's face also quietly brought a little playfulness.

"Could it be that the prince enters the palace today and wants to implore the imperial conquest and allow the prince to stay in Chang'an?"
