[Hanwu] Attack and retreat

You can guess the emperor's mind, but you can't figure it out.

Only yesterday he told Liu Che that he was going to attack Liang Wang, but today he asked Liang Wang whether he encountered any difficulties in building the palace. His words were earnest, just like a good brother who cares about his younger brother.

Liu Che, who was yawning at Chaoshang, told Chen Xu about it when he came back. "If I hadn't greeted the Empress Dowager with my father this morning, and the Empress Dowager mentioned that I hadn't seen the King of Liang for a long time, but my father did not agree to let the King of Liang come here immediately, I almost felt that I was dreaming." Liu Che was a little puzzled by his father's behavior. "Since you want to get rid of King Liang, why don't you just be quick? Is the father still afraid that the queen mother will fail?"

"I think the emperor has already started to deploy."

"Oh?" Liu Che blinked. "You know my father better than I do."

"Actually, if you put yourself in the shoes of the emperor, you will know what the emperor's plan is. If you wanted to attack your good brother, what method would you choose?" Chen Xu still hugged Huo Qubing today, and Huo Qubing was like a koala Hanging on Chen Xu's body, while his elder brother was still sleeping, Huo Qubing had a dumbfounded look on his face, well-behaved and obedient.

Liu Che narrowed his eyes: "I won't attack my brother."

"Don't talk too much." Born in the emperor's family, he has no father and son, let alone brothers and sisters?

"The brothers I'm talking about are naturally not them, but you." Liu Che couldn't help approaching Chen Xu, and poked Huo Qubing's little face. Huo Qubing looked at him with his eyes, and moved his head slightly. "Why didn't he talk?"

"Brother is sleeping." Huo Qubing felt as if he was suffering from schizophrenia. He was quiet for a while and rioted for a while, especially during the day when his brother occupied his body and made all kinds of noises. When he peed his pants, he let Huo Qubing out crying and screaming, taking a nap like now With so little time, Chen Xu felt that he was about to split his mind.

Liu Che liked Huo Qubing quite a lot, he would pinch him from time to time, it seemed that Huo Qubing already knew him a little bit.

"When did he start talking?"

"My brother will keep talking when he wakes up." I didn't think my brother was noisy before, but now it's like a cannonball when I let it out.

"I'm talking about him." Liu Che poked Huo Qubing's little face again, and said, "It's not good for him to be him all the time. Didn't his mother give him a name?"

How could parents who would feed their children bad water give him a name... Chen Xu glanced at Huo Qubing's little head with complicated eyes. He never imagined that Huo Qubing was so pitiful when he was a child. If you don't love him, even if you become a general, you will die soon.Speaking of which, Wei Qing was also very difficult when he was a child. The two of them walked the same path, but Huo Qubing passed away earlier, which is even more distressing.

Chen Xu patted Huo Qubing's head and said, "Let's give him a name."

Liu Che was very interested, and said, "Brother Chen?"

Chen Xu: "His surname is Huo." Although he raised Huo Qubing and his elder brother as his own sons, his family name cannot be taken away. If he is really called Brother Chen, then there would be no such person as Huo Qubing in history?Who would fight against the Xiongnu without Huo Qubing, this silly prince.

Liu Che rubbed his chin, thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, how about calling Huo Qubing? I hope he will be free from illness and pain all his life, and live forever."

"Thank you for the name, Prince." Chen Xu smiled.

"Really want to call it this?" Liu Che stared.

"There's nothing wrong with Huo Qubing." Chen Xu still smiled, thinking: Among your descendants is Liu Bingji.

"Ahhh." Huo Qubing suddenly shook his head and his small body trembled.Chen Xu hurriedly supported the back of his neck, and pulled him off his body... Unfortunately, it was too late, the warm and moist feeling filled Chen Xu's palms, and the clothes on his chest also left a mottled mark.

Liu Che: "Pfft."

Chen Xu: "..." He came to ancient times for so long and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but now he finally realized that it is extremely inconvenient to not have diapers.

Zhang Ze was not on duty today, so he applied to leave the palace, and was about to go to play with his brother. Before he left the palace gate, he saw two guards sneaking aside. Zhang Ze was used to heels, so he followed.

The two guards hid in a corner, lowered their voices and whispered.

Guard A: "How is it?"

Guard B: "I heard that someone has been arrested."

Guard A: "So fast? Didn't the emperor be alarmed?"

Guard B: "How hard can it be to catch Zhang Qian? The queen mother is going to pester the emperor now, and you should deliver this to the prince, hurry up."

Guard A: "I'll go now."

"Wait, I'll go out first." Guard B ran out as he said that. After walking two steps on the road, he heard someone calling him from behind, and turned his head to see the patrolling army.They talked for a few words and left.

Seeing that they had gone far away, Guard A poked his head out, stuffed an envelope into his bosom, and was about to leave when he felt his head was empty and fell down.

Standing behind him, Zhang Ze picked it up with his toes, turned the guard armor over, and then took out the envelope from him.

There are only a few words in the letter in black and white: "Zhang Qian is my hand, and I want to save this place, the forest behind the Western Mountains." A pinch of hair is also attached to the letter.Zhang Ze twirled the brush and looked at it, put it on his hand and blew it away.

"This looks like horse hair. Liu Che is a pig, but Chen Xu is not." Zhang Ze shook the envelope: "Let me help you with this errand. Go back to sleep obediently."

The person who fell on the ground immediately got up as if nothing had happened, and then walked towards his room step by step, turning a blind eye to Zhang Ze beside him.

Zhang Ze walked briskly to Princess Guantao's mansion, swinging the envelope.

When I came to Chen Xu's study, I saw the prince sitting on the couch, playing with the little thing lying immobile on the couch, the little thing seemed to be giggling happily.

Zhang Ze: "..." A little upset.

"Huh, Zhang Ze?" Liu Che laughed strangely before he found Zhang Ze, and asked, "What wind brought you here."

Zhang Ze: "Where's Chen Xu?"

"Go change your clothes." Liu Che said, "Come and help this little guy change too, he got wet all over Chen Xu just now."

"Oh?" Zhang Ze walked over, stuffed the envelope in his hand to Liu Che, then skillfully removed Huo Qubing's changing mat and replaced it with a new one.

Liu Che shook the envelope: "What is this? It says the crown prince has personally signed it." Then he opened the envelope: "...What is this?"

"What's the matter?" Chen Xu dressed neatly and came out from the cubicle of the study. "Zhang Ze, you came just in time. Help me see what's wrong with my brother. He has been asleep for an hour."

Zhang Ze: "He's just angry that you haven't given him snacks for many days."

"How does he eat snacks like this now?" Chen Xu sighed, and was grabbed by the wrist by Liu Che who rushed over suddenly.Chen Xu: "...what do you want to do?"

Liu Che: "Zhang Qian was really arrested!"

Chen Xu: "..." What is this nonsense?
