Destiny Only Han

"Mom, I'm back after spending time..."

Liu Ying rushed into the Jiaofang Hall in a flash, and ran towards Lu Zhi panting.

"I'll be back when I come back, what are you shouting for?" Lu Zhi pursed his lips in distaste, reached out and patted the cushion beside him: "Sit down, let mother take a good look...why is it so dark?"

Because there is no sunscreen... Liu Ying took the cup of tea handed over by her 'brother and sister' and drank it in one gulp, looking at the door vigilantly.

Lu Zhi followed his gaze, and what he saw was a head with a bit of baby fat, which shrank back in a flash.

"What are you doing hiding there? What? Who are you going to marry this time?"

"Mother, I was wrong...but my brother hit me just now!"

"Brother beat you, you must have done something wrong!"

"mother!"

Liu Ying looked at Lu Zhi with a sarcastic expression, and then at the little Lolita who was pinching the hem of her clothes first, but then jumping to get angry, and touched her head with some doubts.

In the next second, a soft sound rang in his ear, and the vaguely hot and humid air was blowing at the tip of his hair, not only his cheeks were a little itchy, but his heart was also a little itchy.

Brother and sister, it's a bit sweet... Liu Ying looked at the little girl in front of her who could barely distinguish the front from the back, and immediately scolded Zhang Buyi in her heart.

My loli hasn't grown up yet, that bitch can't help it, disgusting!

So, while listening to the whispers of his younger siblings, he decided when to have a 'good' talk with Zhang Buyi...

....................................

North of Yunyang County, straight road.

One of the Northern Patrollers who raised the tooth flag high flew over, passed through the overlapping military formations, and went straight into the Chinese army where Liu Bang's Jingen chariot was.

The person who came was Xie Jing, the Chinese doctor who was sent to Ting Wei's mansion.

Xie Jing untied the package on his back, and solemnly handed over the matter to Minister Wei Wuzhi: "This is the confession of the criminal involved in the case and his family and others. Please read it, Your Majesty."

But when Wei Wuzhi was about to forward the submission, Liu Bang's voice sounded from Jin Gen's car: "Get in the car, I have something to ask you."

"According to the order."

In Jin Gen's car, Xie Jing looked at Liu Bang, Lu Ze, and Lu Wan sitting three-legged, and for a moment didn't know where he should sit.

At this time, the status of courtiers was still relatively high. Except for formal occasions, basically when the emperor had a seat, ministers with high rank also had seats.

Seeing this situation, Lu Wan chuckled, moved to Liu Bang's side, and signaled Xie Jing to sit in the seat before her.

Liu Bang cut to the chase and asked, "What did Guan Gao say?"

Xie Jing recounted what he had seen and heard in the cell, and then lowered his eyelids, looking at his nose, nose, nose, and heart.

"What do you think?" Liu Bang looked at Lu Ze and asked, "Is what Guan Gao said true?"

"fake."

A mocking smile emerged from the corner of Lu Ze's mouth:

"Zhang Ao is not a puppet. How could he be ignorant of such a big matter? But when driving past Handan, Zhang Ao didn't express it, not even a hint! It's very clear what he thinks. Understood!"

Liu Bang asked again: "Then what do you say?"

This time, Lu Ze kept silent.

He was only responsible for the previous analysis, and did not intend to discuss how to deal with Zhang Ao. After all, he was a prince, and Zhang Ao was also a prince. A prince is not qualified to discuss how to deal with another prince.

Although Lu Ze couldn't say much, he turned his attention to Lu Wan who was sitting next to Liu Bang.

Although Lu Wan is also a vassal king, he also serves as the Taiwei of the Han Empire. He is the commander-in-chief of the three armies in name, and has the power to replace Liu Bang to fight against dissidents. Naturally, he is qualified to discuss and deal with Zhang Ao.

Therefore, Liu Bang's gaze also turned to Lu Wan who was fishing and paddling in the water.

For a moment, Lu Wan began to regret it.

If I had known that he would follow Liu Ying back to Chang'an first, I wouldn't have to participate in such troublesome things.

Although Zhang Er didn't pay much attention to Liu Bang back then, Liu Bang was very grateful to Zhang Er. After all, one of them was famous all over the world, and the other was just a little-known country rascal.

Liu Bang gradually became famous in Pei County, and later became the head of the pavilion. The root cause is that he went to Waihuang County and became a guest of Zhang Er.

Therefore, this is equivalent to Zhang Er becoming Liu Bang's guide and bringing Liu Bang into the circle of rangers.

Naturally, Zhang Ao inherited Liu Bang's feelings for Zhang Er.

Otherwise, Zang Tu, the King of Yan at the beginning, was only rumored to be rebelling, and Liu Bang immediately ordered Qi's army to counter the rebellion, without giving Zang Tu a chance to distinguish.

But now Liu Bang is cautious about Zhang Ao's handling, asking and asking again, obviously trying to find a reason that can persuade him to let Zhang Ao go this time.

Even if this reason is nonsense!
It is precisely this reason that makes Lu Wan feel a little troublesome.

In all fairness, he has no personal feelings for Zhang Ao. Although there is no direct evidence to prove that Zhang Ao was the mastermind of Liu Bang's assassination, but the matter has come to this point, even if Zhang Ao's family is wiped out, it will not arouse criticism from the world.

But Liu Bang would definitely not agree to the result of this disposal. After all, if Liu Bang really wanted to, he would not repeatedly ask for their suggestions.

Just acquitted, certainly not acquitted.

The reason is very simple, this matter has developed to the point where it is now, if Zhang Ao is released, it will undoubtedly be letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and it will inevitably breed tigers!
Lu Wan thought for a while, then frowned and asked, "Where is Zhang Er from?"

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, and replied: "In the past, the Liang people of Wei State. What's the matter? Why do you ask this?"

"People from Daliang..." Lu Wan was silent for a while and then asked, "Then, where was he buried after his death?"

"Qu Yu. That's where he was born." Liu Bang tilted his head and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Lu Wan scratched her ears, and said with a smile: "Don't worry. My idea is that Zhang Ao cannot escape the blame for the assassination of Guan Gao and others. It is better to take away his throne and let him return to Zhang Ershou." Go to the grave!"

Liu Bang frowned: "Is it a little too heavy?"

Lu Wan asked back: "Do you still remember Song Chang? It was the young man Liu Ying appointed as a secretary in Dongyuansai to join the army... Well, his eldest father is Qingzi champion Song Yi!"

Liu Bang suddenly realized: "It's him, I remembered. Why are you mentioning him at this time?"

Lu Wan stared at Liu Bang and said, "Song Chang is Guangao's retainer. He manages the accounts on weekdays and often travels to the inner house. He has seen Zhang Ao and Guangao's secret plan. Zhang Ao's knowledge is a sure thing!"

"Besides, didn't we also dig up the batch of infantry armor he secretly bought in the outskirts of Handan? It is also a felony for the princes and kings to hide heavy armor for themselves!"

"Do you think we can let Zhang Ao go back again? But if you feel sorry for Zhang Er, I remember that Zhang Ao has a son named Zhang Shou. Why don't you call him Qu Yuhou, so that the Zhang family will be prosperous for generations to come?" .”

Liu Bang was silent for a moment and nodded gently: "Alright, let's do it this way."

He immediately asked again: "In this case, Zhao Guo will have no king. Who should be the king of Zhao?"

"Is this something I can get involved in?" Lu Wan spread her hands, and then said seriously: "It's just that you'd better be more cautious when you become king, and don't leave troubles for Liu Ying in the future."

Liu Bang nodded thoughtfully.

When he named Liu Fei the king of Qi before, he was a little emotional, and he sealed off all the 70 counties in Qi.

You must know that Qi State was in the Warring States Period, but it was able to be called the two emperors of the East and the West with Qin State!
Although the Qi State at this time has been devastated by the war and its strength has declined sharply, the foundation is there. As long as there is no war, in three to fifty years, the population will recover and surpass the old Qi State.

The most important thing is the continuous cropping of wheat, soybean, wheat and corn, as well as the increased food production of compost, which once again accelerated the speed of population growth.

At that time, I'm afraid that the Qi State will really be too big to lose...

So this is also after he destroyed the overlord of Western Chu, he still followed Xiang Yu's plan and divided Chu into four, namely Changsha, Huainan, Minyue, and Chu.

Then, using the excuse of Han Xin's attempt to rebel, he once again divided the already shrunk state of Chu into two, creating a state of Jing.

The reason for this is that I don't want to see the local princes and kings sitting on the throne and fighting against the central government of Han!
Although the present Zhao State is not as big as Qi State, but it is located on a plain, coupled with the improvement of agricultural technology, I am afraid that the population of Zhao State will not be lower than that of Qi State in time!
Liu Bang gradually made up his mind in silence. Anyway, he still has two sons without titles, who happened to divide Zhao Guo into two, with Liu Ruyi as the king of Zhao and Liu Heng as the king of Zhongshan.

In this way, Qi Ji, who is also saved, is always persuading Lai Lai in his ears...

As for Liu Fei's Qi State, Liu Bang does not intend to divide it into several pieces now.

After all, Liu Fei is honest and honest, he doesn't look like he would have trouble with Liu Ying, and Liu Fei is a child of adultery, and he suffered a lot of grievances in his early years.

Although he is a scumbag father, he is not a grass and tree, and this arrangement can be regarded as compensation for Liu Fei.

Chang'an City, Tingwei Mansion.

Although the sky had cooled down at this time, running back and forth still made Xie Jing sweat profusely, and sweat stains could be seen on the clothes on his back.

Holding a volume of imperial edicts in his hand, he hurried into the dungeon, striding towards the cage where Guan Gao was held.

"My brother is overjoyed. Your Majesty agrees to pardon your capital crime, but only demotes you to a commoner... Quick, open the prison door!"

Master Guan grabbed the railing and froze on the spot, he couldn't believe his ears.

He, the mastermind who assassinated Liu Bang, can walk out of the dungeon of Tingwei Mansion alive now?
"Your Majesty, the benevolent elder..."

He murmured softly, thinking of something, raised his head and asked, "What about King Zhao? Is he guilty or not?"

Xie Jing was silent for a while and said: "King Zhao was demoted to be a commoner, and sent a song to his hometown to guard the grave for life. However, Zhang Ao's eldest son, Zhang Shou, was honored by a noble song..."

Guan Gao only felt that the five thunders were on his top, he staggered back a few steps, and murmured:

"No, no... so, what face do I have to live on!"

He stared at the short sword on a jailer's waist, his gaze gradually became decisive.
