Dahan first prince

Chapter 8
As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded and looked at Lu Zhi on the imperial steps in horror!
After only a moment, everyone lowered their heads one after another, only taking what they said just now, and they didn't hear a single word...

Even Guan Ying himself gave up defending himself, just lowered his head in a guilty conscience, and anxiously studied the patterns on the floor.

For a while, the atmosphere in the hall, which was not considered active, became more and more silent as Lu Zhi burst into fury.

Seeing this, Liu Ying thought for a while, then smiled lightly and stepped forward to rub Lu Zhi's shoulders.

"Mother, don't get angry. If you hurt your body in a hurry, wouldn't it hurt your loved ones and make your enemies faster?"

After comforting her with a warm voice, Liu Ying raised her head again, and looked at Guan Ying, the Marquis of Yingyin, who was under the imperial steps with a warm and pleasant expression.

"Marquis Yingyin, don't worry about it. In fact, today, I have repeatedly offended my mother, and my mother was so angry that I got a little anxious..."

Hearing this, Guan Ying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly bowed upwards.

"Words are important at home, words are important..."

"Your minister is old and weak, and he has indeed acted improperly. Even if he blames the empress, he dare not defend himself..."

Hearing Guan Ying talk about her being 'old and weak' in a straightforward manner, Liu Ying's eyes twitched subconsciously.

——Among the founding fathers who are in their fifties and sixties in today's court, Guan Ying, who is in his forties, is a rare "young and strong faction!"
Such a person says that he is 'old and weak', so what is the emperor Liu Bang who is over sixty years old?
Just passed away early this morning at the age of 85, the Supreme Emperor Liu Xi, couldn't he just lie on the bed and couldn't move?

Muttering to herself, Liu Ying quickly adjusted her face and put on that light smile that showed no trace of falsehood again.

"My mother, the Marquis of Yingyin has been in the army for a long time, and many of them have old diseases, even if they get sick frequently, it is understandable..."

Hearing Liu Ying sing against him, Lu Zhi frowned subconsciously.

Seeing Liu Ying's constantly squeezing eyes, and seeing Guan Ying's figure of calmly returning to the sides of the hall after recovering, he finally took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly.

"The art of the imperial court..."

"Through the past ten years or so, Ying'er has grown up and become a husband..."

With a secret exclamation, Lu Zhi suppressed his anger a little, and looked into the hall again.

"Everyone knows what happened today, right?"

With just one sentence, the anger that Lu Zhi suppressed for a moment reappeared on that old face.

"Before the Supreme Emperor's spirit, Zhao Wang used the name of ambition to speak nonsense about the country!"

"Your Majesty stood by King Zhao's side, but he did not dissuade him. Instead, he said that this was 'the ambition a prince should have'."

"You guys think, what does Your Majesty want to do?"

Hearing this, everyone in the hall couldn't help raising their heads anxiously, as if they wanted to speak, but they didn't know how to speak.

Everyone in the hall knows what happened today.

Although only Lu Zhi, Liu Ying's mother and son, and Xiao He, Yang Chengyan, and Fan Kuai Xia Houying were driven back to Chang'an by Liu Bangming's order, many people returned to Chang'an spontaneously besides these six people.

Leaving others alone: ​​Lu Zhi, Liu Ying's mother and son were all driven back, and they went to Xinfeng as Chehou. How could Lu Tai and Lu Chan, who attended the funeral of the Supreme Emperor, dare to stay in Xinfeng?
How dare Lu Shizhi's elder brother, Lu Shizhi, and the dozen or so Gonghous in the hall with the engraved 'Lu Family's Old' on their heads continue to stay?

Especially after Liu Bang showed his intention of being easy to store without any concealment, and by daring Lu Zhi and Liu Ying to return to Chang'an, he expressed his willingness to "go as far as your old Lu family will give me". Wait, why stay in Xinfeng and get in the way?
Therefore, there is no need for Lu Zhi to ask, most of the people in the hall were present in Xinfeng today, and what happened at the funeral was also witnessed by these people.

Even those juniors who were not 'present' just knelt outside the mourning hall because they couldn't kneel down.

Obviously, what Lu Zhi asked was not the literal meaning of "do you know about this matter", but: what do you think about this matter, and what should we do.

This is the reason why everyone wanted to speak, but hesitated and didn't know how to speak.

Zhao Wang speaks falsely about the state before the emperor's spirit?

At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with Liu Bang's explanation. This is just an ordinary behavior of the prince to express his ambition.

But you only need to change your thinking and change the scene where this happened, and this matter will change completely.

When the Supreme Emperor passed away, the Taimiao should be erected!

Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi, where is he "showing his ambition" in front of the Supreme Emperor's spirit?
This is clearly accompanied by Liu Bang and witnessed by hundreds of officials, in the Taimiao and in front of the ancestral god's main tablet, he made a promise of 'willing to take over the country and not let the ancestors down'!

As for why it was not in the Taimiao, but in front of the Taishang Emperor's spirit, I am afraid that Liu Bang wants to use this to test the reactions of all the officials and officials in the court.

——The man plans to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones, who agrees and who opposes?

From the perspective of interests, all the people in the hall, except Yingyin Hou Guanying who showed a faint intention of 'staying out of the matter', all of them had already been bound with Lu's relatives as early as the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony!
At the moment when Zhou Luhou died strangely and the interest group of Lu's relatives was already on the decline, the only ones who could make everyone look forward to the future were Queen Lu Zhi and Prince Liu Ying.

Now that life is so hard, everyone is counting on Liu Ying to succeed to the throne in the future, and everyone is so good that they will ascend to heaven and enter the imperial court.

In this case, Liu Ying's position is the unanimous bottom line of the entire Lu's relatives interest group!
It is an exaggeration to say: even if there is another great cause of 'overturning the tyranny', it is impossible for everyone in the palace to allow Liu Ying's reserve to be shaken!
But having said that, in the final analysis, the titles on the heads of everyone in the hall are all Hanjue...

And Han Zuo's surname is Liu...

If an outsider wants to grab Liu Ying's reserve position, everyone in the hall will count one by one, and they will rush forward without any scruples and crush that person alive!

But if this person is the emperor Liu Bang who led everyone in the palace to make great achievements and establish Liu Han Guozuo...

"Ok?"

Everyone was in a dilemma when they saw Lu Zhi on the imperial steps looking suspiciously at the left side of the hall, the direction where Lu's children were kneeling.

"Alu, why hasn't your father arrived yet?"

Hearing this, Liu Ying couldn't help but look at the reputation, and couldn't help but feel a little tighter!
The A Lu in Lu Zhi's mouth is the famous general Lu Lu in later generations!

And Lu Lu's father is the only man in the middle of the Lu family - Jian Jianhou: Lu Shizhi!

"No way?"

"Lu Shizhi, but Lu Zhi's real brother!"

"Blood is thicker than water, shouldn't they fly separately in the face of catastrophe?"

Coincidentally, just when everyone was showing doubts, the completed Hou Lv Shizhi arrived late, leaning against the gate of the palace panting.

After adjusting his breathing, Lu Shizhi quickly walked into the hall and bowed deeply to the top of the imperial steps.

"Report to the queen, Xinfeng is here to report!"
