Liu Chang asked proudly: "Doesn't this person know my reputation?"

Zhou Shengzhi said angrily: "He really doesn't know that we have threatened him with the king many times, but he is not afraid and seems to despise the king!"

Liu Chang was a little angry, "A Chang'an order dares to despise me? I must deal with him in the future. What is his name?"

"Um...it seems to be called Sima Xi?"

Back in the palace of the Tang Dynasty, the sages told me one by one the major events that happened in Chang'an after Liu Chang left.

The first one was Lu Lu, who said seriously: "After the king left, my father didn't stay at home for more than half a month... My mother was so frightened that she asked us to stay at Wuyang Hou's house temporarily!"

"Yes, they came to live at my house. My father is always at home... and never goes out."

Mr. and Mrs. Fan then said: "My father was very angry at the time and beat me up for a trivial matter... I don't know what happened."

From the mouths of the sages, Liu Chang heard a lot of things, but they were very vague. Sure enough, the Queen Mother and Wang Ling had an affair. However, Wang Ling was not executed. The Queen Mother ordered that he be removed from his post and let him

After serving as Taifu, Wang Ling resigned directly and returned home, never leaving home again.

There were also some ministers missing from the court. It was said to the outside world that they suddenly caught wind and cold and suddenly died of illness. These people were obviously the ministers who followed the royal tomb. There was a slight friction between the Northern Army and the Southern Army. The sages said it was because the two sides could not share food.

All the generals involved were punished.

But Liu Chang knew that it was impossible for the Northern and Southern armies to have uneven distribution of food. Unless Xia Houying suffered from brain disease, he would not have done such a thing. Obviously, this was Wang Ling and his supporters in the army.

of human hands being cleared.

As for the situation in the palace, Liu Chang is more familiar with it than all the sages.

Empress Lu directly took charge of the power, and the memorials were piled up in the Jiaofang Hall. Liu Xiang also moved into the Jiaofang Hall... Is my mother disappointed with her brother? She decided to directly bypass his brother and teach Liu Xiang in person until he was old.

Chief, will you pass the throne to him again?

Or is it that the brother, together with Wang Ling, attacked his mother, which aroused her dissatisfaction, and after fighting back, he gained all the power and took away Liu Xiang in order to curb the power of the queen's family?

It's a pity that no one can tell Liu Chang the true situation. Who dares?

And what can Liu Chang do in the face of such a situation? Help his brother to take back the power from his mother? His mother raised him with all kinds of hardships and devoted everything to him. Liu Chang thought that he couldn't do it.

When it comes to dealing with things like my mother, well, it’s not necessarily a bad thing since state affairs are in my mother’s hands.

Although this is unfair to the elder brother, it may not be a bad thing for the big man.

My mother's ability to govern is definitely ten times...a hundred times that of my brother.

But what happens next?

Liu Chang raised his head. Although his mother had told him not to worry about these things, Liu Chang couldn't help but think about it. When he was still in Chang'an, he tried his best to ease many conflicts and prevent them from becoming complete.

It broke out, but...I will leave Chang'an sooner or later. I really don't know what will happen then.

Alas, it would be great if my father was still here...

Liu Chang's sadness did not last long, especially when he came back with Qunxian to borrow sheep, there was no trace of sadness on his face anymore.

Sitting among the wise men, Liu Chang immediately blew the whistle.

"At that time, I attacked the capital of King Jing alone, and thousands of people could not stop me. I beheaded the generals and captured the flag. I was the first to ascend the city and capture the king alive... This is something that even Marquis Wuyang cannot match!"

...

"Master! This is a gift I brought to you from the south!"

When Liu Chang handed the leg of lamb to Han Xin, Han Xin took it and was stunned for a long time, "You brought it back from Jingchu? Can you still eat it?"

"Ahem, I brought back the sheep. They were just slaughtered and can be eaten."

Han Xin was not polite, took a few bites, and then said: "This Jingchu sheep tastes exactly like Jianchenghou sheep!"

"Hahaha, Master, let's talk about the Jing Kingdom! I went out this time and knocked down eight people and captured twenty-four! Didn't I embarrass Master?"

"The courage of a reckless man is not worth mentioning."

Han Xin still had disdain on his face, and naturally he was talking about the old saying, "What can you do if you use Xiang Yu's courage?"

Liu Chang could not refute, after all, this was the man who defeated Xiang Yu. There was indeed no problem at all in what he said.

Han Xin took a few more bites and then said, "I have to congratulate you first."

"Ah? Congratulations to me? Hey, Master, you don't have to be like this. It's just a small contribution, why should you care about it?" Liu Chang raised his head proudly.

"It's not because of the Jing Kingdom incident."

"Ah? What's the reason for that? Why are you so happy?"

Han Xin looked at Liu Chang in surprise, and then shook his head, "If you capture King Jing alive this time, you will definitely get another reward."

Liu Chang narrowed his eyes, then smiled and said: "Of course! This is my first achievement!"

"You can go see Chen Ping later."

After hearing Han Xin's words, Liu Chang immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Of course I have to meet him! I must go to meet him!!!"

After leaving Han Xin, Liu Chang suddenly covered his stomach and bared his teeth.

Luan Bu was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty? What's going on?"

"When you're full, you wait for me here and I'll go back!"

Luan Bu nodded and waited here. After waiting for a while, Luan Bu suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly rushed into Han Xin's mansion. However, when he rushed in, King Tang had long disappeared.

........

Liu Chang climbed over the courtyard wall and jumped into the mansion.

A servant in the mansion was carrying debris here. He was shocked when he saw the thief who suddenly climbed over the wall. Just as he was about to shout, Liu Chang kicked him fiercely, "I am the King of Tang! Where is Chen Ping?"

The servant hurriedly bowed down and bowed. He also recognized that the thief was a good friend of his young master, and took him towards the house.

"Since the king wants to visit the head of the family...why not take the main entrance?"

"I am not used to walking through the front door."

Liu Chang said coldly, walked into the inner room, and saw Chen Ping with his head lowered, seemingly reading a book.

Liu Chang was furious, how could he still be so leisurely after cheating me? All these things in the city must have been handled by Chen Ping. The officials were uneasy, how could this guy still study so leisurely?

"You're such a traitor..."

As soon as Liu Chang spoke, Chen Ping turned around, holding the bamboo slip in his hand, "Your Majesty, don't scold me for now, let's see if the arrangements of these county guards are appropriate?"

"County Sheriff? What Sheriff?"

"Naturally, they are the governors of the four counties of Yunzhong, Taiyuan, Dai, and Jibei... I am currently the Prime Minister Zuo. The Queen Mother once said that there is a lack of talents in Tang Dynasty. I want to select four qualified counties and send them to

Go to the Tang Dynasty..."

"Ah? Why is Marquis Chen so polite!"

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, then sat down next to Chen Ping with a smile. He quickly put on a depressed face and said: "Chen Hou, our Tang country is poor and lacks everything, especially talents, like Yunzhong Yanmen."

If we don't have qualified county guards, how can we defend the place where we are facing the Xiongnu? The people of the Tang State are always on tenterhooks, and the Huns are constantly knocking on the door... We, the Tang State, are suffering..."

"Ninghou Wei Jun has come to serve as the governor of Yanmen County. What does the king think?"

"Okay! Okay! I heard that Ninghou is the best at training the army. He once trained the army for my father. In a few months, he trained the peasants into elites. He was deeply trusted by my father. If he was training the army in Yanmen

, the Xiongnu will definitely not dare to go south!"

"Prime Minister Chen, this person is very suitable for our country, Tang Dynasty. Please let him take the post!"

"Well, okay, let him be the governor of Yanmen County."

Chen Ping nodded and asked: "Longluhou Zhouzao is guarding Yunzhong, what does the king think?"

"Oh! That's great! I heard that General Zhou is the best among the generals. In the battle of Gaixia, General Zhou was responsible for preventing Xiang Yu from breaking out. When Xiang Yu's army was distracted, General Zhou led his people to stop Xiang Yu, and took two men with him.

Fourteen brave generals, my father called him Captain Chang Beryllium... If he can guard Yunzhong, our country of Tang will no longer be afraid that the Huns can break through the Great Wall!"

"Father Zhong, please let him take charge!"

Chen Ping nodded again, and Mr. Liu smiled with a smile on his face, "This time I came from Chu State. Because I was leaving in a hurry, I couldn't bring any gifts to Father Zhong... After I saw the master, I hurriedly came to see him.

You, you are so radiant... This position of Prime Minister has been long overdue by you, Father Zhong! Your ability to govern the country is far inferior to that of Prime Minister Xiao!"

Chen Ping stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I thought the king was coming to question me."

"Ah? Ask for guilt? Why ask for guilt? Father Zhong and I have always been close, and we have always supported each other. Father Zhong, if you are free, you can come to our country of Tang. I will definitely entertain you. By the way, Father Zhong

Ah, I have some books there, shall I send someone to deliver them to you later?”

"Hahaha, okay, how about Chenghou Dong Chi be the governor of Jibei County?"

Liu Chang looked at Chen Ping in front of him and was so moved that he was speechless.

He hesitated for a long time and then said: "Stop saying anything, Father Zhong, let me sing you a song."

ps: The beginning of this month is really unlucky. I just wrote a little bit and there was a short circuit again. I am going to use a few sacks to cover the electric switch, otherwise the power will be cut off when it rains. I can't stand it. I am writing.

The sudden power outage really affected my thinking... When I get rich, I can live in a high-rise house like you city dwellers, so I don't have to worry about rain leaks.
