Jimo ancient city

Liu Bang and Xiao Ran reappeared at home.

"I need to go back." After a brief pause, Liu Bang coughed lightly, "I may need to trouble you with something."

Xiao Ran was puzzled, "What's the matter?"

"I know that the firearms in Daming are very powerful, so I would like to ask you to help buy some."

The last time Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shimin sent troops to help, Liu Bang took a fancy to those firearms, but there were too many affairs in the court, so it was delayed until now.

He asked Xiao Ran to be the middleman because he had not met Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time, and Xiao Ran and Zhu Yuanzhang had a good relationship.

"No problem, I'll go find my uncle." Xiao Ran did not refuse.

If he could make the deal happen, he could also make some gold from it.

After watching Liu Bang leave, Xiao Ran turned around and went to the Ming Dynasty, and was teleported directly to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Holding the brush and writing simply, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Xiao Ran coming over from the corner of his eye, "You don't come to the temple for no reason, what are you doing here today?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "What are you talking about, uncle? Emperor Taizu of Han wants to buy some muskets from you and asked me to come here to be a middleman."

"What happened to the Han Dynasty again?" Zhu Yuanzhang put down the brush in his hand and asked curiously.

Xiao Ran shook his head and explained, "It's not that something happened to the Han Dynasty, it's a new order, Emperor Hanheng Liu Zhi wants to kill Liang Ji."

"We remember that he could solve the problem by himself, right? But even after solving the problem of Liang Ji, his court was still in a mess." As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes showed disdain.

"Looking at this list, we might as well just change the emperor."

Xiao Ran said, "Anyway, I'll give the list to Liu Bang to handle. I have no control over how he does it."

After all, the task on the list is just Liang Ji and his party.

"If you want to buy something from us, then come and talk." Zhu Yuanzhang understood what Xiao Ran meant and didn't say anything more.

Of course Xiao Ran had no objection, and soon he brought Liu Bang and Liu Ying to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I'm going to go see my aunt, you two can talk on your own."

Xiao Ran strode towards the palace where Queen Ma lived, and brought gifts with him.

Empress Ma had received the letter long ago and knew that Xiao Ran was coming, so she arranged for the servants to prepare tea and snacks.

Seeing Xiao Ran, Queen Ma smiled gently, "You came at the right time today. The fine tea sent from Jiangnan is just right for drinking."

"Thank you for your help, auntie." Xiao Ran sat down, took the teacup and tasted it. It tasted really good.

……

The first year of Yanxi

Luoyang

In the palace.

The news of the emperor's banquet came suddenly, and all the civil and military officials were puzzled, but they could not refuse.

Queen Liang felt vaguely uneasy and subconsciously wanted to meet Emperor Han Heng, Liu Zhi, to test and ask him, but she was stopped before she even saw him.

"Empress, His Majesty is reviewing memorials, and you need to attend the banquet tonight." Tang Heng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Queen Liang said coldly, "Is your majesty with that bitch again?"

"Your Majesty is reviewing memorials."

"I want to see what His Majesty is going to do tonight!" Queen Liang did not believe Tang Heng's answer, her eyes were full of anger, and then she turned away.

Several hours passed.

Palace servants were coming and going in the hall, placing food on the table, and many ministers had already taken their seats.

After everything was delivered, the palace servants waited quietly in the palace.

"His Majesty is here!"

"The Queen has arrived!"

Everyone knelt down and saluted, "Long live the emperor."

Liu Zhi and Queen Liang rose to high positions one after another, like strangers.

There was an empty seat in the hall.

Liu Zhi saw his face darken, "Why hasn't Liang Ji arrived yet?"

"Your Majesty, I am late." Liang Ji walked into the hall with a swagger. He did not even bow and sat down directly.

Queen Liang deliberately said, "Your Majesty, for such a trivial matter, do you want to punish me?"

Almost unable to hold back his anger, Liu Zhi said coldly, "No, let's have the banquet."

"Your Majesty, I wonder why this banquet is held today?" Liang Ji poured himself a glass of wine and asked loudly.

Everyone immediately fell silent, their eyes falling on Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi's expression eased, and he said with a smile, "I am in a good mood today, and I just want to have fun with you."

"Your Majesty, the people of the world are worried about food and clothing. You should not be so extravagant."

Upon hearing this, some censors couldn't help but speak out.

Liu Zhi wanted to curse, but then he remembered that his ancestors might be watching him in secret, so he had to suppress his impatience and responded perfunctorily.

"I know."

"His Majesty……"

Without waiting for the censor to continue speaking, Liu Zhi immediately changed the subject, "Queen, what do you think of the moonlight tonight?"

Empress Liang looked at Liu Zhi with sharp eyes, which softened after a moment. "It is naturally good to be able to watch the moonlight with Your Majesty."

"I don't think so." Liang Ji snorted coldly, looking disdainful.

Suddenly, a person walked into the hall, and a gentle voice was heard.

"Your Majesty, I have recently practiced a dance for you. Please allow me to dance for the banquet."

Deng Mengnu looked at Liu Zhi lovingly.

madness!

Liu Zhi glared at her unhappily. Today's banquet was not about watching dancing.

"No need."

Deng Mengnu almost lost her composure after being rejected.

Fortunately, Queen Liang spoke up at this moment, "Since she is ready, let her dance. It will also be a way for the civil and military officials to see how she dances."

This sentence seemed to treat Deng Mengnu as a dancer.

Deng Mengnu was so angry that she gritted her teeth but still did not refuse the opportunity.

When the music started, Deng Mengnu led several dancers to dance. Her eyes moved and she glanced at Liu Zhi several times.

Unfortunately, Liu Zhi was absent-minded and began to feel anxious.

Why hasn't the ancestor appeared yet? !

After Deng Mengnu finished her dance, she raised her voice and asked, "Your Majesty, how did I dance?"

"That's right, go down." Liu Zhi said casually and wanted to send Deng Mengnu away.

"Your Majesty, why do you look like this today? Are you thinking about someone?" Queen Liang asked in a deep voice when she noticed that something was wrong with Liu Zhi.

Liang Ji sneered, "Your Majesty, is there any beauty you like again? Bring her out so I can have a look."

"Nonsense, I..." Liu Zhi shouted angrily. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of several figures coming. His eyes lit up, he stood up and walked down.

Tang Heng led the way in front. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he didn't dare to look Liu Bang in the eye.

"You're finally here!" Liu Zhi was extremely excited.

Liu Bang slowly walked up to the high seat and sat in the position where Liu Zhi had just sat.

Seeing this, Empress Liang and Liang Ji looked at each other and said sternly, "Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous!"

Liu Zhi bowed slightly, "This is my great Han ancestor, Emperor Gaozu of Han!"

"Your Majesty! Are you crazy?" Queen Liang asked in shock, not wanting to believe it.

"Liang Nuying!" Liu Zhi shouted angrily.

Xiao Ran calmly found a suitable seat and sat down to watch the show.

"Come here, arrest all these people of unknown origin!" Liang Ji's eyelids twitched slightly, and he still gave the order in a condescending manner.

The palace servants lowered their heads in panic; they did not dare to step forward and get involved.

As for the guards outside the palace, they had been dealt with by Liu Ying and his men.

Liu Ying said in a deep voice, "Father, do you want to take them down immediately?"
