Dahan first prince

Chapter 4 The Prime Minister Chen Xi will be in chaos
As soon as Liu Bang gave an order, three cars were immediately prepared outside the Yueyang Palace.

The queen's phoenix chariot at the front is whipped by the eunuch Xia Houying himself.

The slightly dilapidated chariot in the middle is Liu Ying's Prince's chariot, escorted by Marquis Fan Kuai of Wuyang.

In the end, the cart for Prime Minister Xiao He didn't even have a horse, and it was only drawn by four oxen.

Yang Chengyan, who is the young minister, is the worst.

——Xiao He has a cart but no horse, so he can only draw the cart with an ox; Yang Chengyan has a horse, but has no cart, so he can only ride back to Chang'an...

If it weren't for the blue ribbon hanging around his waist, Yang Chengyan rode his horse slowly beside Xiao He's ox cart, maybe he would be recognized as Xiao He's guard...

There were no hundreds of officials to send them off, nor was there a large army to accompany them. Three carriages and nearly a hundred guards accompanied them. The convoy set off before dawn and drove to Chang'an City, a hundred miles away.

Sitting on the dilapidated chariot, Liu Ying still didn't recover from the previous shock.

It's not because of Liu Ruyi.

——It was Liu Ying who was kicked out of Xinfeng by Liu Bang in two completely different names in two successive lives!

In the previous life, Liu Ying was a "newcomer" and "didn't understand the rules". She made a fool of herself at the funeral and was driven back to Chang'an by Liu Bang. It can also be understood that Liu Bang felt ashamed and simply threw Liu Ying back to Chang'an.

But in this life, Liu Ying didn't do anything, didn't say anything, knelt quietly on the ground during the whole funeral, but was still driven back to Chang'an!

This is a little strange.

In addition, there is another point that makes Liu Ying feel very weird.

In the previous life, Liu Ying was driven back to Chang'an by Liu Bang because of her disgrace at the funeral of the Supreme Emperor. Xiao He and Shaofu Yangchengyan, who were prime ministers, also returned to Chang'an with Liu Ying.

In this life, Xiao He and Yang Chengyan also did not escape the fate of being driven back to Chang'an!
If it's just these two people, at least it can be interpreted as: Chang'an court really needs someone to sit in charge, and the prime minister and the young mansion can't leave Chang'an for too long.

But the problem is: Liu Ying, Xiao He, and Yang Chengyan were not the only ones who were kicked out of Xinfeng in two lifetimes!

——In the previous life, when Liu Ying was sent back to Chang'an, it was Fan Kui who led the guards and the imperial servant Xia Houying drove the car!
In this life, the figures of Xia Houying and Fan Kuai still appeared in the convoy returning to Chang'an!

To be precise: Like Liu Ying, Xiao He, Yang Chengyan, Xia Houying, and Fan Kui all lived in two lifetimes and were driven back to Chang'an by Liu Bang!

Liu Ying was driven back to Chang'an in two lifetimes, which can be understood as a coincidence, or Liu Bang really didn't want to see Liu Ying;

Xiao He and Yang Chengyan were driven back to Chang'an in two lifetimes, which can also be understood as the result of objective reasons;

But if on this basis, together with Xia Houying and Fan Kuai, who can't be explained at all, there is even an extra queen Lu Zhi in this life?
Even if Liu Ying is a fool, she has already realized that there must be something else hidden!

"Xinfeng..."

"The emperor's funeral..."

"What is it that made Liu Bang insist on driving the five of us back to Chang'an..."

There is no need for Liu Ying to think about it: after the funeral, a major event will inevitably happen in Xinfeng.

One thing that Liu Ying, Xia Houying, and Fan Kuai must not be present, and it is best for the Queen Lu Zhi not to be present.

Recalling the memories of her previous life, combined with the identities of Xia Houying and Fan Kuai, and what happened in Liyang Palace just now, Liu Ying's eyes could not help but narrow slightly.

The dusty memories in her mind gradually unfolded before Liu Ying's eyes, and finally a dazzling light shone in an inconspicuous corner.

"The Rebellion of the Chancellor Chen Xi..."

With a soft murmur, Liu Ying shook her head with a wry smile, and then heaved a long sigh.

——In the autumn and September of the tenth year of the Yuan Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, Chen Xi, the prime minister, proclaimed himself king, and he was in chaos in the Guandong.

Regarding Chen Xi's rebellion, Liu Ying didn't have many memories in her mind. She only remembered that at that time, it was only more than a month after the death of the Supreme Emperor, and she was still confined in the palace.

Chen Xi rebelled in September. Just a few days later, his father Liu Bang personally led the army to go out, and the rebellion was basically put down within a few months.

But now, when Liu Ying integrated the strangeness obtained from the comparison between the previous life and the present into the case of Chen Xi's rebellion, a very interesting possibility quietly appeared in Liu Ying's mind.

——The court of Chang'an knew about Chen Xi's rebellion long ago!

It is even very possible that now, with more than a month before Chen Xi's rebellion, they already know about it!

It's normal to think about.

Chen Xi is a dignified vassal king, a high-ranking official with a rank of two thousand stones, can the Chang'an court be unprepared?

Even if it really didn't, Chen Xi ended up chaotic North Wall, but he was instigated by Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin!
And now at this point in time, Han Xin said that he is 'living' in Chang'an, but in fact, it is no exaggeration to say that he is under house arrest!

Letters from Han Xin flew to Dai Guo, could the court fail to guess what Chen Xi might do?

In this way, the bizarre "encounters" of Liu Ying, Xiao He and the other five people in their past and present lives can all be explained.

——Prime Minister Xiao He and Shaofu Yangcheng Yan returned to Chang'an just to prepare the corresponding logistics food and supplies for the upcoming war!
As for Fan Kuai and Xia Houying, it is not difficult to guess their identities.

Marquis of Wuyang, Fan Kuai, is the brother-in-law of the current Empress Lu Zhi!
The eunuch Xia Houying was the one who picked Liu Ying back when he kicked Liu Ying off the carriage several times on the way to Liu Bang's defeat after the defeat in the Battle of Pengcheng!
Combining all these, the truth will emerge.

——Liu Bang wants to use Chen Xi's rebellion to put down Chen Xi's rebellion, cultivate power for Liu Ruyi, and prepare for the subsequent abolition of the crown prince!

To achieve this goal, Liu Bang must guarantee that the generals who put down Chen Xi's rebellion must use as many emerging forces as possible, and must not let the camp of Lu's relatives behind Liu Ying intervene!

Only in this way can we explain why Liu Bang insisted on driving his eunuch Xia Houying and Wuyang Hou Fankui back to Chang'an.

Because as long as there is a war, both of them are qualified to participate in the war by default!

And once these two people are allowed to make meritorious service in the war, it will be a great help to the prince Liu Ying, and it will be even more difficult for Liu Bang to depose Liu Ying later.

"Is that so..."

"For my reserve position, forcefully get a piece of the pie from Chen Xi's rebellion..."

Thinking of this, Liu Ying couldn't help but look a little dignified.

In my memory, there was Fan Kuai in the list of soldiers who participated in putting down Chen Xi's rebellion in the previous life.

Not only Fan Kuai, but also dozens of senior generals including Guan Ying and Fu Kuan among the forces of Lu's relatives participated in the battle to put down Chen Xi's rebellion.

It's just that in her previous life, Liu Ying faced the wall for a whole year after crossing, and she really couldn't see or understand these things clearly.

It was not until now that Liu Ying finally realized: In order to keep her crown prince, what kind of efforts her mother Lu Zhi had put in and what terrifying power she had mobilized...
