Dahan first prince

Chapter 309 King Qi's land is very extensive, which is not good for Sheji

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the 13th year of the Han Dynasty, which was the beginning of spring in the first year of Liu Ying.

At this moment, Liu Ying was lying on the wooden floor, letting her son Liu Gong ride on her stomach, and occasionally weighed her buttocks.

On the side, Lu Zhi, Liu Le, mother and daughter whispered something, looked at Liu Ying, Liu Gong and his father from time to time, and immediately covered their mouths and smiled.

The emperor was out of shape and allowed the eldest son of the emperor to ride on him. Lu Zhi couldn't bear to break this harmony, so he sent back the palace ladies and eunuchs early.

It's just that while talking with his mother, Princess Lu Yuan Liu Le's face could not help showing some concerns.

"Yan'er, he is a good child, and he has been taught by his mother. In the future, he will be the mother of the world."

"only······"

Full of doubts, Liu Le stopped talking, and Liu Le did not forget to look up at his younger brother Liu Ying and nephew Liu Gong who were playing around on the ground. The doubts on their faces only became more serious.

After struggling with himself for a long time, Liu Le leaned over and pressed himself against Lu Zhi's side.

"Yan'er is only eight years old..."

"Now that the eldest son of the emperor has been born, there are dozens of concubines and concubines in the harem. If they are not a few years old, they will give birth to the second and third sons of the emperor."

"If Yan'er is allowed to enter the Jiaojiao house, she will not have any children for a long time..."

Hearing Liu Le's words, Lu Zhi smiled dumbly, with gentle brows, he could not see the vigorous and resolute behavior of the "Queen of Henkel" at all, just like an ordinary old woman.

"The emperor is only sixteen years old, and there is no rush to give birth to the eldest son."

"Yan'er is not yet strong, and the emperor has not yet reached the crown. Even if there is no direct son, there is nothing wrong with it."

"As for the eldest son of the emperor, or the second and third sons of the emperor in the future, they are all no more than concubines; however, if Yan'er is the empress, when she gives birth in the future, she will be the eldest son and eldest princess!"

As he spoke, Lu Zhi raised his head slightly while vowing, his brows were full of domineering arrogance.

"I am sitting in Changle, who dares to say that the pepper house has no fruit and the country has no descendants?!"

Hearing this, Liu Le just shook his head and smiled, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

After Lu Zhi said that, as a daughter, Liu Le, what else could he say?
——Shouldn't Lu's pheasant be so domineering as a queen mother?
Or do you say that you are 'just' the first eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, the eldest daughter of the Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty Liu Bang and the Empress Dowager Lu Zhi, and she is not worthy of marrying her younger brother Liu Ying at all?
In desperation, Liu Le could only raise his head with a stiff smile, and looked at Liu Ying who was not far away.

"The queen mother said so, if the daughter's words are wrong again, it is the daughter's wrong."

"I just don't know Your Majesty..."

Hearing this, Lu Zhi couldn't help letting out a short sigh, and immediately bent down mysteriously, and whispered to her daughter.

"In the beginning, the emperor did have some concerns."

"But knowing that Yan'er is not from Le, the emperor has readily agreed."

"The emperor also said: The daughter my sister taught, I can't be wrong!"

Lu Zhi's words caused Liu Le to frown, although his eyes were still a little anxious, but there was clearly a three-point charm of Lu Zhi in his brows!
"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"If my son-in-law comes out, can't I be the master pepper room?!"

But when Lu Zhi heard Liu Le's words, he just shook his head again, and looked sideways at Liu Ying, with a touch of affection involuntarily in his eyes.

"No."

"Nai Le's birth is the emperor's nephew, and they are connected by blood, so it is not suitable for marriage."

"Ran Yan'er is the concubine daughter of the Marquis of Xuan Ping. She lost her mother when she was young, and she was raised under Le'er's knees. She was not connected with the emperor's blood, but she was born with Le'er's affection..."

Hearing Lu Zhi's explanation, the unhappy look on Liu Le's face faded away, replaced by a gentle smile that resembled Lu Zhi.

"Even His Majesty thinks it's good, my daughter, I would like to obey my mother's edict..."

The daughter finally nodded, and Lu Zhi felt a big stone in his heart. He smiled and said "very good" a few times, and then whispered that Liu Le has been more diligent recently, and took his daughter Zhang Yan more often to "walk around" in the palace.

As for this marriage, Xuan Pinghou and Zhang Ao, who should be consulted the most, were intentionally or unintentionally ignored by the mother and daughter.

——Zhang Ao, the son-in-law, a good old man, and the well-known tracheitis in Chang'an!

With Liu Le making the decision and nodding, Zhang Ao would naturally have no objection to this marriage.

Furthermore, it is a supreme honor to be able to marry a daughter, especially a concubine, to the emperor, and to be the queen of the palace!

It is impossible for Zhang Ao to refuse an opportunity that ordinary people can't ask for.

Now that the marriage has been settled, the rest of the matter is not a big problem.

First send Zhang Yan to the palace, develop a relationship with Liu Ying, and then get acquainted with the environment in the palace. In the coming year, when Liu Ying performs the crowning ceremony, she can start the wedding ceremony and the matter of becoming a queen.

There is no need to bother Liu Ying about these matters at all, and the Queen Mother Lu Zhi can handle them all.

With the things in his heart settled, Lu Zhi's mood immediately brightened. Seeing Liu Ying and his grandson Liu Gong happily playing, he just laughed lightly.

After a while, I don't know whether she was tired from playing or was annoyed by her son Liu Gong who was not yet one year old. Liu Ying finally stood up, picked up little Liu Gong, and sat down with her mother Lu Zhi and her elder brother with a smile. In front of sister Liu Le.

"The queen mother and elder sister have been whispering for a long time, but they didn't bring the child with them?"

Hearing Liu Ying's half-joking ridicule, Lu Zhi just smiled, but Liu Le, who was at the side, put on the airs of the eldest sister and princess without a trace.

"Your Majesty is young and has not been deeply involved in the world. Lu Yuan① is speaking to his mother about his choice to enter the Jiaofang, so His Majesty must not know about it."

"If this is not the case, I don't know who your Majesty wants to establish to honor the world as a mother."

Hearing the faint resentment in Liu Le's tone, Liu Ying just smiled and unceremoniously handed her son Liu Gong to her mother Lu Zhi's arms.

When His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor was coddling in the arms of the empress dowager's grandmother, Liu Ying looked at Liu Le with a smirk, and there was an indescribable humility between her brows.

"Sister's words, but it's the recreational season..."

"Nowadays, when Ji sees my sister face to face, she can still call her 'sister'; but in the future, maybe she will call her 'mother-in-law'?"

As soon as this remark came out, Liu Le's face was only gloomy for a while, and he wanted to say something to get back the scene, but because of Liu Ying's status as emperor, he dared not open his mouth to tease Liu Ying.

On the other hand, the Empress Dowager Lu Zhi, who was teasing Liu Gong, fell in love with Liu Ying's half-ridiculous joke.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Zhi turned his head in embarrassment and looked at Liu Ying and Liu Le respectively.

"My compatriot sister Ji, if she is known as her son-in-law and husband-in-law, it will be ridiculous and generous."

"Um······"

"It's still called sister season."

With a soft voice, Lu Zhi dismissed the matter lightly, picked up the eldest grandson from his armpit, and turned up slightly.

But when Liu Le heard his mother's words, he just averted his eyes for a moment, and didn't dare to look at his younger brother Liu Ying who was beside him, and couldn't help but become more embarrassed.

Liu Ying smiled lightly and shook her head, not taking this matter to heart at all.

In her previous life, her mother, Lu Zhi, wanted to marry her sister Liu Le's daughter, Zhang Yan, and make her queen. At that time, Liu Ying was extremely resistant.

In Liu Ying's view at the time, marrying her niece Zhang Yan not only violated the human relations that Liu Ying adhered to, but also violated the value of "free love" of later generations.

Especially the matter of marrying her niece was really hard for Liu Ying to convince herself.

But in this life, Liu Ying has already had a deeper understanding of this.

—Love, what is that?
Can it be eaten as food, or can it be worn as clothes?
Can it make the world stable, or can it enrich the country and strengthen the army?

Or when foreigners invaded, Liu Ying was able to stand on the top of the city and scare the foreigners away with the words "I believe in love"?

Obviously, neither can.

As a political figure, even who Liu Ying sleeps with, who she asks to give birth to her own children, or even having a boy or a girl, has to be treated as a political event, not to mention such a major event as the Empress Dowager, who may be ruined if she is a little careless. ?

It is no exaggeration to say that the Empress Dowager can definitely be called a state affair!

At least in the Han Dynasty, it is true.

Needless to say anything else, just one point is enough to prove how much protection a qualified queen can bring to the regime.

——When the first emperor Liu Bang was still alive, the current queen mother Lu Zhi is the queen!

It is precisely because at that time, it was Lu Zhi who was sitting on the queen's seat, not Mrs. Qi who was still "learning how to be a mother" in Changle Palace at this moment, and now Liu Ying can sit firmly on the throne at the age of 16!
Try another person?

Don't talk about others, just talk about Mrs. Qi.

If Liu Ying's reserve position had been seized back then, and Lu Zhi's successor position had been abolished, what would the Han Dynasty look like today?
The Empress Dowager Qi, who knows nothing but crying, and the emperor Liu Ruyi, who has no hair at all, how long can Liu Han Sheji continue to exist?
Many Liu Ying dare not say, but "absolutely will not be passed on to the third generation", Liu Ying is still sure.

For Liu Ying, the same is true: setting up a qualified queen is to leave a guarantee for the future prince and the future Han Dynasty.

Obviously, Zhang Yan, who is backed by the entire Lu family, was born in the Zhang Er family of the late Zhao Wang, and is the concubine daughter of Princess Lu Yuan, is definitely a good choice.

Although the age of eight may prevent Zhang Yan from giving birth to a child within ten years, Zhang Yan's age is really not worth mentioning in front of other advantages.

——Big deal, Liu Ying will enshrine this eight-year-old wife in the Jiaofang Hall, and wait until Zhang Yan grows up, wouldn't it be fine?

Anyway, Liu Ying is still young. When Zhang Yan reaches the fertile age, Liu Ying will only be in her 20s, and she can be called a 'mature adult'.

As for love?

please~
Liu Ying is an emperor, not a businessman who sells diamonds~
Compared with illusory and useless love, Liu Ying is still more willing to believe in something that can be seen and touched.

For example, after Liu Ying agreed to marry Zhang Yan, she immediately got one of the two jade tiger talismans from her mother Lu Zhi!
With this tiger talisman and the status of the emperor on her head, it is impossible for Liu Ying to be ostracized by anyone in this life!

——It’s a big deal to turn the tables, anyway, Liu Ying has plenty of capital!
What's more, after Liu Ying nodded and said cryptically, "I heard that Marquis Xuanping has a daughter who is gentle and graceful, but her mother loves the world", many problems that had caused Liu Ying a headache disappeared inexplicably.

The old lady Lu Zhi muttered to the courtiers and officials that "someone must be dissatisfied" all day long, and she immediately calmed down. Although she still looked lazy, she had already returned to the work she did when the late emperor Liu Bang was still alive. manner;

Previously, the new generation of clan princes who had been slandering Lu's daughter as queen because of Lu Zhi's intention to bestow a marriage, they also obediently kept their mouths shut after learning that Liu Ying nodded and agreed to the marriage arranged by Lu Zhi.

Liu Ruyi, the king of Huainan, even sent someone to Chang'an, and said to Lu Zhi in a subtle way: "Mother should choose a good queen for the child, and choose a wise queen."

All the officials in the court have settled down, the clansmen and princes are also honest and responsible, and the counties and counties are even more peaceful.

In this way, Liu Han's regime, which was turbulent due to regime change and handover, miraculously and quickly stabilized because Liu Ying was willing to marry Zhang Yan.

For Liu Ying, Lu Zhi in this life did not continue to be harsh, but gradually let go of the power in his hands, and adopted a gentle attitude of "you can do it with confidence, and I will take care of it".

As Cao Shen's handover of power between Xiao and He approached its final stage, the court was also moving forward steadily under the control of Cao Shen, the previous promoter who was orderly in all aspects.

——After the income was greatly increased due to the government-run policy of grain and rice, the treasury under the control of Cao Shen has already shouted the slogan of "within ten years, enough funds for a decisive battle with the Huns"!

The Shaofu under Yang Chengyan's command was low-key, and did not publicize anything to the outside world, but at the beginning of spring, he handed over a report in an understatement: The food that the Shaofu can use now is enough for [-] troops to go northward for [-] miles from the Great Wall , fighting for half a year...
In addition, the three-edged arrow headed by the Shaofu, which is equipped with the God Arm Bow and the Bronze Repeating Crossbow, has also made major breakthroughs. The improvement progress of various weapons and ordnance is gratifying. schedule.

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Ying was not allowed to build large-scale construction during the national mourning period at the beginning of the year, the casting work in Chang'an City would have already been sent to the court by Yangcheng.

The court is stable, the place is stable, the treasury is gradually filled, and the army is steadily advancing...

Everything seems to be going well.

Thinking of this, Liu Ying couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and immediately looked at her mother, Lu Zhi, beside her, with admiration that couldn't be concealed in her eyes.

——Only relying on a "shaofu government-operated food and rice", the treasury and internal funds that have been empty for many years cannot be filled up so quickly.

What really made the government treasury transform from a small diaosi into a big dog in such a short period of time was the "Golden Order" drafted by Lu Zhi himself, which was approved by a unanimous vote in the court council... ···

"Whoo~"

"I don't know how much more I can learn from my mother..."

Full of sentimental exclamation, Liu Ying smiled wryly, and couldn't help but look forward to it.

Liu Ying looks forward to the future, and she can become the magic needle of the whole world with her own strength, just like her mother Lu Zhi!

But soon, Lu Zhi seemed to ask casually, and told Liu Ying: There are still many things that my mother can teach you...

"I heard that King Qi wants to leave, so he will return to Linzi soon?"

Saying a word in a casual tone, Lu Zhi kindly hugged his grandson Liu Gongheng in his arms, not forgetting to gently rock from side to side.

"The king of Qi got 73 cities in Qidi, and he also took advantage of the main roads between the north and the south of Linzi. If he waits for a long time, he may become a serious disaster."

"Um······"

"Tomorrow evening, the emperor will hold a banquet in the palace to bid farewell to King Qi."

"I will also be there."

After saying that, Lu Zhi ignored Liu Ying's horrified gaze and concentrated on playing a game of making faces with his grandson Liu Gong.

On the other hand, Liu Ying, who was at the side, was kicked into a deep valley called 'Awkward' by Lu Zhi's understatement...
　The princess's self-proclaimed information is slightly lacking and may be inaccurate.

　　——In front of people with a lower status than herself, the princess calls herself "my palace", when meeting the emperor and queen mother, she calls herself "baby", and when meeting the queen and concubines in the harem, she calls herself a taboo or title.

　　In the article, Princess Lu Yuan is the eldest sister of Liu Ying, so naturally she cannot be called Haier or Ben Gong, so the last item is taken, that is, when facing people with a higher status than her own, she should call herself a taboo or a title.
