Liu Bang knocked several people away one after another and rushed directly to the bottom of the earth platform. Without waiting for Liu Ying to react, Liu Bang caught him and clamped him under his arm. Then he rode his horse forward and went straight to the king's tent, leaving the whole place wailing.
Liu Ying used her hands and feet to struggle helplessly in the air.
Han Xin behind him couldn't help but widen his eyes. I saw it right. This is the King of Han, not Fan Kuai! Not even Xia Houying!
I really didn’t expect that at such an age, the King of Han could still break into the formation and capture the enemy... No, it’s Young Master Ying!
Han Xin hesitated whether to praise the king for his bravery.
Zhang Liang, who was walking alongside him, had a strange look on his face. Liu Ying was not only the son of the King of Han, but also his disciple!
If I had known this, I shouldn't have agreed!
If you make a mistake, you will be hated for eternity.
No matter how much he disliked him, he was still his apprentice, so Zhang Liang hurriedly chased after him, fearing that Liu Ying would be wronged.
"Shuzi, who asked you to go out and borrow money? Do you want to piss Naiweng to death?" Liu Bang slapped him in the air.
Liu Ying was not afraid at all and still spoke plausibly.
"I learned it from my father!"
"You fart!"
"No...I heard from my eldest father that you borrowed money when you lost gambling in the early years. Prime Minister Xiao, General Cao, and uncles, they can all testify! If you can borrow money, so can I!"
"Asshole!" Liu Bang was so angry that he swore, "Nai Weng borrowed money when he was not prosperous, unlike you!"
"What's the difference? I'm not the King of Han!"
"Do you still have the nerve to be the King of Han?" Liu Bang was so angry that he couldn't hit Liu Ying anymore. He grabbed a wooden stick from the side and hit Liu Ying.
The stick was thicker than Liu Ying's arm. He jumped up and ran away.
"Stop!"
"Don't stand! If you stop, you will be beaten."
"If you don't listen to Nai Weng, you are unfilial!" Liu Bang issued the most severe threat.
However, Liu Ying was not afraid at all, "Confucius said that a small staff can be carried away by a big staff. Go and reason with Confucius!"
"You traitor!" Liu Bang panted, chasing after him. Liu Ying took advantage of her small body and agility to sneak around.
The two fathers are happy and happy, the father is kind and the son is filial.
Just when they were enjoying their family happiness, Zhang Liang came, followed by Xiao He, Fan Kuai, and even Zhang Er.
Especially Fan Kuai, like a mountain, stood in front of Liu Ying.
Liu Bang was so angry that the stick hit him. The wooden stick as thick as a duck egg hit Fan Kuai, which was almost like tickling him. "Your Majesty, stop hitting him. I'm afraid your hands will hurt!"
Liu Bang was so angry that he threw his stick on the ground, pointed at a few people and scolded, "You all protect this bastard, right? He has not yet become the prince, but he is getting money and making promises, and the world has not yet been conquered, and he is so wasteful! The Han Dynasty is full of wealth." , if it falls into his hands, I'm afraid I will die for the rest of my life! I must kill this traitor!"
No matter how much Liu Bang yelled, these people were like a wall blocking Liu Ying.
Xiao He knew the whole story and warned him again and again, "Your Majesty, you really can't blame the Young Master entirely for this!"
"Don't blame him? Do you blame Naigong?" Liu Bang frowned and even wanted to beat Xiao He.
Xiao He said patiently: "Your Majesty, you rewarded all the Confucian scholars to the young master, but the young master has no money and cannot support his followers, so he came up with this method."
Liu Bang couldn't listen at all, "Xiao He, do you think I'm a fool? Borrowing money is a private matter. How can you go to the camp gate and borrow money in a big way? Isn't this a clear way to take advantage of me?"
Xiao He was speechless, but Liu Ying, who was hiding behind him, heard the problem.
"Okay, Father, you also know that I am going to borrow money!"
Liu Bang was startled.
How could Liu Ying let him go, "I understand. At the banquet, I asked you to treat the Confucian scholars well. My father had a grudge, so he dumped the Confucian scholars on me and refused to give me the money to support them. My father worked like this You are scheming to frame a child like me, how can you show any kindness as a father!"
Liu Bang was dumbfounded. How could he be the one who made the mistake?
Just when he was about to refute it, he noticed tears welling up in the corners of Liu Ying's eyes, and she actually cried!
"Mom! The child is so pitiful! You are trapped in the enemy's camp and it is difficult to come back. The child was kicked out of the carriage, scolded and beaten. It was difficult for him to ask for education, but my father refused to even give him a repair... Ah Mother, come back quickly and make decisions for your child!"
The more Liu Ying cried, the sadder she became. She sat down on the ground and howled at the top of her lungs.
At this embarrassing moment, he became Liu Bang. His old face turned red and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Looking at Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Fan Kuai, their expressions were not good-looking either.
Zhang Liang coughed softly and said: "Your Majesty, I think that since I have given the young master's followers, I should give him the money to support the followers. This is only logical and saves the young master from embarrassment."
Liu Bang snorted heavily, "Mr. Zifang, what you said makes sense. It's just that I have to command the troops and horses to leave the pass, and I also need to help General Han's troops and horses cross the river to go north. We all rely on Guanzhong for food, grass and baggage. How can I bear to add to the burden of the people?" ? Also, the generals went out of the pass with the few men before, defeated Pengcheng, and finally came back. If they go to fight again, it is logical that they need a heavy reward, but it is a pity that the pass can't come up with extra money..."
When Liu Bang said this, he glanced sideways at Liu Ying on the ground and said helplessly: "I have never rewarded the generals, but I gave Shuzi a generous reward first. I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the generals!"
After Liu Bang finished speaking, he looked at Xiao He with a troubled face.
The eyes of the king and the minister met, and Xiao He suddenly realized... This was a hole dug by Liu Bang, but it was not to bury Liu Ying, but to bury him.
The King of Han, Liu Bang, could not reward the prince for various reasons, so the prime minister should solve the problem for the king, endure the pressure and the scolding from all parties, and get the matter done.
As for whether the Prime Minister feels aggrieved, or even whether he is angry with the Young Master, that is another matter.
Xiao He suddenly remembered something. Not long ago, Liu Ying cried and told himself that the King of Han asked him to spy on the prime minister...
In a daze, Xiao He took a deep breath.
As long as you are willing to work hard, there is no corner that cannot be dug.
Don't say anything else, Hanwang's routine is really deep!
"I'm at fault... I'm trying to find a way to get out the money that the young master has given me to support his disciples. I'll first give him a hundred stones of grain, two hundred bolts of cloth, and eight hundred gold!"
A smile flashed across Liu Bang's face, and he asked again: "Prime Minister, will this affect the supply of soldiers?"
Xiao He lowered his head and said decisively: "No... I will reduce the salary of civil servants, from the minister down, and give it to the prince."
Liu Bang was satisfied and said with a smile: "This is the best, I will feel relieved."
Liu Ying kept listening and felt that something was wrong, "Father Zhong, you have worked hard for the country and your hair has turned gray. How can I ask for your salary?"
Xiao He said: "Young master, there is no need to say more. This matter is due to my negligence, and I should be fined."
"No!" Liu Ying was still stubborn. "The prime minister, like the officials, works hard for the country and works hard. I receive salary without merit and have trouble sleeping and eating. What's more, my retainers and I have hands and feet. It's not difficult to support ourselves. As long as the Prime Minister can provide convenience."
Xiao He frowned, "Sir, what convenience do you want?"
"It's nothing. We just find a random place and find a way to open up wasteland and operate it. Not only can we support ourselves, but we can also contribute business tax revenue to the country."
Xiao He hesitated a little, "Master, is this okay?"
"Why not? Just let people see if Confucianism is useless?" Liu Ying patted her chest and said with confidence.
Xiao He thought about it for a while, then his face showed joy and he said to Liu Bang: "Your Majesty, this is a very good idea, sir!"
Liu Bang frowned and said, "How can he, a child, know how to run a business?"
Xiao He said: "Although the young master doesn't know how to do it, but there are still Confucian scholars, we might as well set aside an area for them. If they do it the best, if they don't do it, it can be regarded as a test of their quality, so as to avoid being full of complaints and complaining everywhere."
In just a few words, this matter was tied to the future of Confucianism. Prime Minister Xiao was so high-spirited.
Zhang Liang nodded immediately, "Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is true."
Seeing that the situation was like this, Liu Bang could only nod, "Okay, Prime Minister, you decide which piece to give to this vertical piece."
Xiao He immediately said: "Then give Shanglin Garden south of the Wei River to the young master!"
Shanglin Garden was a grand royal garden of the Qin State, but it was burned down by Xiang Yu and turned into a scorched earth.
Liu Bang had nothing to feel bad about, "In that case, give him Shanglin Garden."
Liu Bang turned to Liu Ying, gritted his teeth and said: "Shanglinyuan is given to you, if you still dare to be naughty, be careful to break your legs!"
Liu Ying didn't care at all, she was only happy. Shanglinyuan, that's a good place.
"Father, if I succeed in my business and gain a lot of harvest, you won't covet it, right?"
Liu Bang couldn't help laughing and said cheerfully: "Shu Zi, Nai Weng still doesn't like your three melons and two dates. You just need to pay the business tax according to the rules!"
Liu Ying looked at the others and said, "Master, Father Zhong, and Uncle, you bear witness to me!"
Several people nodded, and Liu Yingle ran away.
Looking at his back, Fan Kuai came up with an idea out of nowhere, "Your Majesty, why do I think you are going to suffer!"
