Chapter 047 Please Cook Luan Sheren
"Your name is Luan Bu?"
"Yes."
"You followed Zang Tu in the rebellion?"
"right!"
Haha, Liu Bang glanced at the young man in front of him, you are quite justified.
"Now you are following King Liang in rebellion again?"
"King Liang never plotted rebellion!"
Luan Bu said with a straight face, "Since the King of Liang established the kingdom, he has been trying to find a way to govern it. He disbanded his old subordinates, reduced the army in large numbers, turned weapons into farm tools, and appeased generals with different intentions. I have also seen what people who really want to rebel are like, and they are definitely not like the King of Liang!"
Liu Bang said coldly, "You mean, I did something wrong?"
Luan Bu said: "Your Majesty is wrong!"
Liu Bang was furious. He jumped up, pointed at Luan Bu and shouted, "Take this fellow out and cook him to death!"
Luan Bu showed no fear. He raised his head high and said proudly, "When your majesty was trapped in Pengcheng and defeated in Xingyang and Chenggao, the reason why King Xiang could not advance west smoothly was because King Peng held Liangdi and joined forces with the Han army to make things difficult for Chu!"
"At that time, as long as King Peng turned around and left and allied with Chu, Han would fail! If he allied with Han, Chu would fail!"
"Without King Peng, Xiang Yu would not have perished in the Battle of Gaixia. Now that the world is stable, King Peng has been granted the title and wants to pass it down from generation to generation. Now, Your Majesty is only going to Liang State to recruit soldiers, and King Peng cannot come due to illness. Your Majesty is suspicious and thinks he is planning a rebellion!"
"Even without any evidence of rebellion, he wanted to exterminate his family. How could there be such a cruel emperor?"
"If you feel angry, please cook me!"
Luan Bu scolded Liu Bang severely, but Liu Bang just burst into laughter.
He pointed at Luan Bu and said happily to those around him, "This person can be put to good use!"
…
"So, you come to be my servant? Is there such an official position in my Han Dynasty? I know the prince's servant, who follows my second brother all day and gives him instructions, but I don't even have a fiefdom, so what kind of servant are you? Father is fooling you!"
Liu Chang shook his head, deeply worried about the future of the young man in front of him. He was fooled by his father, and he came to be his servant. What a bullshit! I have to make a profit from the price difference to earn my own money, so how can I afford to keep a servant?
Luan Bu frowned and said seriously: "You are wrong, my Lord. Your Majesty told me that my son is very intelligent, kind and righteous. However, because I was busy with state affairs and neglected to discipline him, he became more and more naughty and unruly, lacking the dignity of a king. Therefore, I was ordered to be your servant..."
"Why? You mean you want to discipline me on behalf of my father?"
"I dare not. I am only following you and correcting your mistakes."
Liu Chang was stunned, then smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to bother me like that. I'm not an unreasonable person either. It's just that sometimes, I hope you can help me more, don't tell my parents everything, and indulge me a little. After all, I'm young. If you can help me, I will never forget you when I have my own kingdom."
Luan Bu said seriously: "It is precisely because you are young that I need to instill your behavior. Otherwise, when you grow up, you will not be able to correct it. If I indulge your behavior, I will not be a competent minister."
Upon hearing Luan Bu's words, Liu Chang flew into a rage and immediately revealed his true colors.
"Oh, I'm telling you the truth. No one has ever dared to discipline me since I was a child! Who do you think you are? How dare you discipline me? I can't refute my father's order, but if you don't know what's good for you, I will cook you!!"
Liu Chang threatened.
"As a minister, if I cannot fulfill my duties, how can I live with dignity? Please cook me now, sir!"
"you!!!"
"You're bullying me because I'm young and weak, right? Just wait, wait! When I have my kingdom, the first thing I'll do is cook you!"
The young master, who had no real power and no soldiers under his command, was helpless in the face of such a stubborn servant. He could only grit his teeth and swear in his heart that sooner or later he would cook this guy!
From that day on, Liu Chang's happiness disappeared.
No matter where he went, there was always a serious young man with a stern face following him, supervising his every word and action. He finally understood his second brother's feelings. However, unlike his second brother who enjoyed it, Liu Chang was extremely angry. He could not wait until the country was closed. He had to get rid of this guy as soon as possible!
"Sir, you must not go out without telling me!"
"Sir, you can't urinate or defecate anywhere!"
"Sir, you must not hit me!"
"Sir, you can't..."
A few days later, Liu Chang wiped his tears and sat in front of Empress Lu.
"Mother... let that guy leave... I will be obedient in the future... I will definitely be obedient, I really can't stand this anymore!"
Empress Lu looked at him with a smile and asked, "Are you going to end up like this?"
Then, Empress Lü summoned Luan Bu and personally told him, "You are doing very well, keep it up. If this boy dares to cause trouble or disobeys, just come and tell me!"
The two, one big and one small, walked out of Empress Lü's residence. Liu Chang hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Why didn't you tell your mother just now?"
"tell what?"
"I threw stones at you..."
Luan Bu said seriously: "I am your servant, and you are my master. I am watching you, not because of the order of your majesty and the queen, but to correct the mistakes of my master...Your Majesty is treating me, that is a matter between the master and the subject, I will not tell such things to outsiders."
"Aren't you... a spy sent by them?"
"I am the minister of the prince."
Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, "Does your head still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"Um... I'm sorry... I just wanted to scare you... I didn't expect that my aim was so good..."
"No problem, but you must remember that middlemen can certainly treat their retainers arbitrarily, but you will be the king in the future. As a king, you must be considerate of your subordinates and treat your subordinates as your own children. You must not be rude, otherwise, it will bring disaster to yourself."
Perhaps it was because he could not resist, or perhaps Luan Bu's words really touched Liu Chang. Anyway, from then on, Liu Chang acquiesced to this follower behind him. Soon, Liu Bang set out again, ready to completely quell the Zhaodai Rebellion, but Empress Lu was in no hurry to go back.
Liu Chang didn't know what his mother wanted to do, but he wanted to go back. Originally, Empress Lu was worried about him going back to Chang'an alone, but now that there were people watching him, Empress Lu had nothing to worry about. Liu Chang was very happy that he could go back and start a free life again!
Luan Bu said, "My lord, when you return from your trip, you must prepare gifts."
"I am the youngest among all the young masters. Why should I give them gifts?"
"Because you are young, you should prepare gifts for the elders... Have you ever received gifts from your elder brothers?"
"I have received..."
"Did the young master ever return the gift?"
"This... I don't have any money!"
"You can ask the Queen for it."
"Mother won't give it to me... I have to think of all kinds of ways to cheat... ahem, to get a little bit..."
"If it is used for the right purpose, the Queen will certainly give it to you."
Liu Chang was a little bit unconvinced, but he still went to see his mother and asked for money on the pretext that everyone in Chang'an was preparing gifts. To Liu Chang's great surprise, his mother actually gave him money without even a moment's hesitation. This made Liu Chang very happy, as he had found another way to make money.
He ran to Luan Bu excitedly, "Hahaha, my mother gave me three thousand coins. I plan to keep half of it and use the rest to prepare gifts!"
"No! If you deceive the Queen like this, will the Queen trust you again in the future?"
"Okay, okay, then leave one thousand?"
“No!”
"Five hundred? I tell you, this is my bottom line!"
In the end, Young Master Chang still looked at Luan Bu carrying the gifts onto the carriage with a look of resentment on his face. No, he couldn't show mercy to him. This guy had to be cooked to death!
