"Rise."
Seeing Liu Heng bow, Liu Bang spoke.
Seeing this, Chen Ping, Liu Jing, Xia Houying, Zhou Bo, and the others finally heaved a sigh of relief. The huge rock in their hearts was slowly lifted.
When the emperor was angry, millions of people died!
If His Majesty the Emperor were to get angry, there would be another bloody storm.
And this acting king dared to kill Mao Dun in the camp of 400,000 Xiongnu soldiers with 5,000 cavalry. His hands were stained with the blood of countless people. It was also terrifying!
"Your son thanks Imperial Father."
"Imperial Father, your son heard that you were surrounded by Mao Dun on Mount Bai in the Dai Kingdom and was so anxious that I couldn't sleep at night. Unfortunately, without Imperial Father's orders, your son didn't dare to send troops!”
"As soon as I received Imperial Father's imperial edict, I immediately rushed over!”
Looking at Liu Bang's cold attitude, Liu Heng just smiled.
In history.
This Han Gaozu had once been defeated by Xiang Yu. Because he was defeated, he quickly fled on his horse. He met Liu Ying and her sister on the way and left them to die!
Even when Xia Houying put them into the carriage.
Liu Bang kicked the two children out of the car several times, wanting to throw them away so that Chu Bing wouldn't catch up!
Even Lu Zhi's two sons, he was so disregarding kinship, let alone him, Liu Heng!
"My son is truly filial."
Hearing this, Liu Bang's expression relaxed slightly.
He pondered for a while and looked at Liu Heng.
"This time, I personally led the army to crusade against this traitor, Han Wangxin.”
"It's a pity that I fell into the trap of the Xiongnu and was trapped on this White Mountain. Fortunately, my son led the troops to save me.”
"My son is so brave. Not only did he kill Mao Dun in the midst of an army, but he also killed so many Xiongnu foreign tribes!”
"I have always been fair in rewards and punishments. Heng 'er, follow me back to the court. When we return to Chang' an, I will reward you according to your merits. You can also meet your mother, Consort Bo Ji!”
Everyone fell silent!
At this moment, many people could not believe their ears.
Even though Chen Ping, Liu Jing, and the others had some understanding of the Emperor's character, and were even quite clear about the battle between Crown Prince Liu Ying and Zhao King Liu Ruyi for the throne.
And His Majesty the Emperor favored the King of Zhao!
However!
They had never expected this!
His Majesty actually didn't mention a single word about the imperial edict of " rescuing the emperor and inheriting the throne "!
In the next moment.
What a pity!
Regretful!
Pity!
Many gazes were cast from Chen Ping and the others to Liu Heng. His Majesty was really unfair to the acting king!
Baili saved his father!
Instant kill Mao Dun!
Defeat the Xiongnu!
Such a battle record was unprecedented and was even enough to leave a name in history.
At this moment.
All eyes were on Liu Heng.
Chen Ping and the others really couldn't hold it in their hearts. With the acting king's personality of slaughtering people, would he be willing to obey his father's wishes and suffer this loss?
First King Wan…
However, just as this thought surged into everyone's minds.
"Your son thanks Imperial Father."
Liu Heng agreed without hesitation.
He had already expected Liu Bang to turn against him.
In fact.
Liu Heng had never thought that he would become the heir of the Great Han Dynasty so easily. All he wanted was justice!
It was fine if Liu Bang did not acknowledge this imperial edict!
However!
As long as Minister Chen Ping knew what was going on!
As long as the Great Han soldiers were grateful!
As long as the people of the Great Han knew that it was him, Bai Dengshan, who saved the emperor!
In the future, he would naturally have a reputation and fame as the substitute king. He would be able to win the hearts of the people of the Great Han Dynasty. This was what Liu Heng wanted!
As for Liu Bang's approval, hehe.
"Good!"
"Since that's the case, then tomorrow, the army will return to the court!”
He sat on the dragon throne.
Liu Bang was quite satisfied with Liu Heng's understanding.
Now that the matter of Baishan Mountain had been settled and Chief Maodun was dead, he had been away from Chang 'an for a long time. He had suffered enough on Baishan Mountain and it was time for him to return.
"Yes, sir! Your Majesty!"
...
Night fell.
Liu Heng sat in the tent and listened to the report of the hidden guard.
"A few days ago, Empress Lu Zhi gathered all the ministers for a meeting. After that, only Marquis Lu Ze of Zhou and Marquis Lu Shizhi of Jiancheng were left behind. Lu Zhi hinted that the two of them would go up the mountain to kill the emperor.”
"In the past half a month, Lady Qi's father, Lieutenant Qi Wan, has entered the palace several times and mentioned the northern army.”
"After His Majesty was trapped, the three kings with different surnames, Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Ying Bu, had a close relationship. They secretly met in Ying Du, the capital of Chu!”
"The Prime Minister of the King of Zhao, Zhou Chang, is recruiting soldiers and expanding his army.”
"Marquis Chen Xi, King of Yan Lu Wan, and King of Lu Zang Tu plotted a rebellion in response to King Han Xin!”
...
As early as three years ago, Liu Heng knew the importance of information.
This was especially so in the chaotic war between the various countries. There was a lack of information. Therefore, if Liu Heng wanted to achieve great things, he had to have an intelligence agency that was completely loyal to him. The Shadow Guards were born!
In these three years, the Shadow Guards had developed rapidly!
Not only did it spread all over the Great Han Dynasty, but it also had branches in every country!
Liu Heng's eyes gleamed as he listened to the Shadow Guard's report.
Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Ying Bu had been on the same side for many years in order to avoid being annexed by the Imperial Court.
Liu Bang was trapped, so it was normal for them to act strangely.
As for the marquis Chen Xi, the king of Yan Lu Wan, the king of Lu Zang Tu plot rebellion, Liu Heng is not surprised.
In history, these three people were originally traitors who colluded with the Xiongnu. They had all betrayed the Great Han and joined the Xiongnu.
On the other hand, Lu Zhi, this scheming old witch, actually wanted to take the opportunity to kill the emperor!
Looking in the direction of Chang 'an, Liu Heng sneered,"
"It seems that Liu Ruyi's favor has forced him into a desperate situation. He's afraid that Liu Ying's position in the Eastern Palace will be lost. This Prince still has to thank Chen Ping!”
