Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 257: Can the Queen Mother remember the old events of Qin?

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!

Chen Ju takes the lead in all major and minor matters in the DPRK!
Two of the four remaining auxiliary ministers belonged to the Chen family, and Han Xin had become very close to the Chen family since he went to the border to annihilate the Huns.

This is equivalent to handing over all government affairs to the Chen family!
Lu Zhi's hands were tightly held in her sleeves, and the look on her face was extremely gloomy. A sharp look flashed in her eyes, and she stared at Chen Bi who was standing there. Her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. Same.

"How could your Majesty issue such an edict?"

Her hand trembled and pointed at Chen Bi. At this time, Lu Pheasant had lost her mind. She couldn't remember how huge the Chen family was.

"It must be you, it must be you who united with this traitor! Together with this traitor, you tampered with His Majesty's last edict!"

The commander of the CRRC was not in a hurry. He looked at Lu Zhi and chuckled: "Why do you want to do this?"

He looked at Lu Pheasant with eyes full of ridicule: "What's more, I'm not the only one who knows about this, there are other people who know about it."

The Commander-in-Chief of the CRRC humbly bowed towards Liu Bang's body, with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"I definitely believe in Mrs. Chen, but I was a little out of my mind when I was so excited."

Chen Bi still looked humble as before, with a slight emotion on his cheek: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

Mr. Chen!

Three years.

As long as the emperor loves the leader of the world and puts his love into action, it will be fine.

He is still the kind of prime minister who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. In other words, as long as he is willing, not even the current Prince Ying and the future emperor can be above his head.

After talking to Liu Bang, Liu Heng suddenly changed his mind for some reason, or rather he strengthened his belief rather than changed his mind.

"Please forgive me, Mr. Chen."

"Half a year ago, His Majesty felt unwell and felt that his time was running out, so he summoned Gua Genghou and explained all the contents of the imperial edict."

These are Chen Bi's twin sons.

Chen Bi didn't know what Liu Heng wanted to prove in three years, but he understood that Liu Heng had already made up his mind, and it was not a good idea to force Liu Heng at this time.

With a slight smile on her face, she regained her usual calm: "It was the Ai family who lost their minds due to a moment of emotion."

He understood that Chang'an City had become a tiger's den at this time, but how could he catch the tiger's cubs if he didn't enter the tiger's den?
What's more, if he doesn't go to Chang'an City to take charge at this time, I'm afraid that the world that has just settled down will be in turmoil again.

Liu Heng needs three years to prove something, and he will naturally come back after three years.

Third, Liu Bang passed away too suddenly, and Chen was not prepared at all.

Guandu Chen family
Chen Ju sighed quietly after receiving the imperial edict, with a complex and solemn expression on his face.

Chen didn't need it.

The most important thing is the fourth point.

Chen Ju turned around and looked at the two teenagers standing next to him. The two teenagers were about four or five years old. Their handsome cheeks looked exactly the same. Even if they looked carefully, people who were not familiar with them would definitely not be able to tell them apart. Know who the two are.

Truly admired by all.

Yes.

Lu Pheasant breathed out softly: "Really?"

First of all, the first point is that Liu Ying did not do anything wrong. Although he was cowardly, he was not ignorant of government affairs and even sympathized with the people.

He looked at Lu Pheasant and then at Chen Bi who was standing aside: "If you want to verify the authenticity of this matter, why not call for an audience."

If the emperor is incompetent and stupid, Chen can be a powerful minister, control the government, and make everything in the world develop in a better direction.

Chen Bi was also hesitating and doubting.

Before leaving, Liu Heng went to Chen Bi and told him.

Does Chen need to be a powerful minister?
Does Mr. Chen want to be a powerful minister?

For the sake of this world, he should go to Chang'an City.

He turned his head and looked at the palace in the distance through the endless rain.

But after much deliberation, Chen Bi finally gave up the idea.

At this time, Chen Bi was already a serious prime minister.

Second, Liu Bang was the founding king, and his control over government affairs could not be shaken by anyone. Although there were children of the Chen family among those who followed Liu Bang to conquer the world, the Chen family did not want to use them to commit such treason at this time. things.

This magnificent and ancient empire will eventually usher in a new monarch, but I don’t know what this monarch will look like.

But if the emperor himself was not stupid and talented, the Chen family would not have much conflict with the emperor.

Chen had enough patience to wait for such an emperor to make up his mind, and also had enough patience to make some preparations for the arrival of this day.

This is because the emperor had already thought about everything before leaving, so he had made clear arrangements for his death in advance.

"Guagenhou is a member of the royal family, so he will definitely not cheat."

Lu Fei's hands were hanging weakly by her sides at this time. When she heard what CRRC Fu Ling said, she already understood in her heart.

When the acting king left the capital, Chen Bi once considered using the reputation of the Chen family to force Liu Heng to stay in Kyoto. Then when Liu Bang died of illness, before he died of illness, he asked Liu Bang to make the acting king the crown prince, and then promoted the crown prince to the throne.

Lu Pheasant sighed slightly with a sad look on his face: "Everyone in the world knows Chen's virtues, how could he do such a thing? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by everyone in the world?"

The two of them stood in the courtyard, looking exactly like Chen Bi when he was a child.

"Tap tap tap——"

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded from a distance, and a boy about twelve or thirteen years old walked in, with a look of pride on his face.

"Uncle Ju, I also want to go to Chang'an City!"

His face was full of yearning, and his eyes were shining with excitement.

"I heard that the city of Chang'an is extremely prosperous, much more prosperous than Guandu, and there are many beauties."

The young man chuckled: "My mother has been urging me to get married lately, but most of the ones she gets are not good-looking."

He curled his lips: "I want to find the most beautiful person in the world to be my wife!"

Chen Ju helplessly held his forehead and sighed: "You."

He shook his head, but didn't say anything. The elders of the Chen family have always been very open-minded about this important matter of marriage. As long as there are no problems with their character, everything else depends on the children's preference.

If you really like her, it doesn't matter if you marry a vase with good character.

"That's fine."

Chen Ju stood there and looked into the distance with a faint look on his face: "Then my uncle will take you to Chang'an. It happens that many gentlemen in the Chinese Prison in Chang'an City are here, and they can teach you, a naughty kid, a good lesson."

Listening to the slightly teasing words in Chen Ju's voice, the young man stuck out his tongue and smiled: "That's right, uncle."

He hesitated for a moment: "Mom said that she received news from my grandfather that there is something going on in the south."

“Looks like preparation”

Chen Ju raised his eyebrows slightly: "South?"

He pondered and said, "I didn't expect that he would be the first to make any movement."

Chen Ju stood there with some meaning, stretched out his hand and touched the child's head: "Good boy, go tell your mother and ask her to deliver the message." "Let your grandfather keep an eye over there. If there is any movement, call him at any time." Go to Chang'an."

Chen Tuo looked firm: "I know uncle."

After Chen Tuo left with Chen Pi and Chen Qiu, Chen Jucai sat in the yard a little lonely.

He looked at the fallen leaves in the distance with a slightly depressed look in his eyes: "Your Majesty——"

"Is the world today what you originally envisioned it to be?"

In the eighth year of the Qin Dynasty, the emperor died. The temple was named Taizu and he was revered as Emperor Gao.

It was Emperor Taizu Gao.

The world is in great mourning.

The prince was ordered to ascend the throne, and the Chen family, Chen Ju, Chen Bi, and others were ordered to supervise the country.

At the end of the eighth year of the Qin Dynasty, the prince ascended the throne and changed the name to "Deren". The following year was the first year of Deren.

By the time the prince ascended the throne, Chen Ju had already brought three followers to Chang'an City, and came to this extremely prosperous city.

Chen Pi, Chen Qiu, and Chen Tuo, who were standing outside Chang'an City, all had a look of amazement on their faces. They looked at the towering Chang'an City in the distance and couldn't help but sigh: "It is really gorgeous. ah."

Chen Tuo even asked in a low voice: "Uncle, are you someone who has seen Xianyang City?"

"Which one do you think is more majestic, Xianyang City or Chang'an City?"

Chen Ju raised his eyebrows slightly and said softly as he walked forward: "Xianyang City and Chang'an City each have their own merits and differences."

"Xianyang City is more majestic and primitive, but it is a little less gorgeous than Chang'an City. Although Chang'an City is gorgeous, it is a little less primitive than Xianyang City."

He sighed faintly: "This is also the difference between Qin and Han."

Chen Tuo walked slowly behind Chen Ju while silently listening to Chen Ju talk about what happened back then. Chen Ju was indeed getting older now and began to like to recall what happened back then.

Chen Qiu and Chen Pi, on the other hand, looked at me and looked at you. They didn't understand a bit, but they still followed the two adults in silence.

The two of them walked and looked at everything around them.

The splendor of Chang'an City left a faint shadow in the hearts of the three people.

The next generation of the Chen family may be destined to be different from the many predecessors before them.

This may be the difference that the two different eras of Qin and Han brought to the people living in the era.

Deren first year
After the emperor came to the throne, he did not interfere too much in the handling of government affairs. The young man who was about to be crowned showed an unprecedented "obedience", or in other words, he was such a person.

Liu Ying was already timid when she was still the prince.

This may not be a good trait during the period of the prince, but when he becomes the emperor, especially when he has a court full of talents, this is a very big advantage.

Especially in this day and age.

This complicated and turbulent era just ended, and we happened to need such a "stable and peaceful" emperor.

After experiencing Emperor Gao, the ministers in the court experienced such an emperor again, and they felt unprecedentedly happy.

There is no tyranny like Emperor Gao! There is no ruffian spirit like Emperor Gao!

They gave the emperor a reputation of "benevolence", and under their promotion, the court did not implement any new policies, but continued to implement the "rest and recuperation" policy promoted when Emperor Gao was reincarnated.

While implementing the policy of rest and recuperation, they also implemented some other policies.

For example, some excessively cruel criminal laws are limited to certain "crimes". Except for this crime, these cruel criminal laws cannot be used for other crimes.

On this basis, the Han Dynasty continued to implement the basic national policies of reducing criminal laws, attaching importance to farming, and promoting agriculture as the basis.

Dahan's economy gradually began to recover.

The winter of the first year of Deren's reign.

Heavy snow fell slowly at the end of autumn this year, covering the ground.

Weiyang Palace
Lu Pheasant still occupies the Weiyang Palace and has not let it go, and the people above the court have not said anything about it. After all, the current emperor Liu Ying has not elected the harem yet, so the Queen Mother can just occupy it.

The emperor didn't say anything. What else could the ministers say?

But after the winter of Deren's first year, the spring of Deren's second year came, and with the spring came some not-so-good signs.

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion
Chen Bi and Xiao He were sitting there, facing each other, with somewhat unpleasant expressions on their faces.

Xiao He sighed and said softly: "The Queen Mother's hand...or maybe Lu's hand stretched a little too long."

Chen Bi chuckled: "How?"

"Xiao Xiang, I said last year that the Queen Mother has great intentions. As long as she is given a chance, she will definitely take action."

"Queen Lu may not have much thoughts about changing the situation, but everyone in the Lu family may not necessarily."

Xiao He's eyes were a little silent, he lowered his eyes and sighed.

"What does Mr. Chen want to do?"

Chen Bi smiled and stood up, with confidence on his face: "Xiao Xiang, don't worry, my father has already entered the palace."

He smiled slightly: "I believe that my father will talk to Queen Lu about the truth."

Chen Bi looked at Xiao He, and the corners of Xiao He's eyes twitched slightly.

Be reasonable?

Is it really reasonable?
Weiyang Palace

Lu Pheasant was sitting in the palace, admonishing his son to accept his uncle and others. Liu Ying was sitting there very well-behaved.

The two of them looked like Lu Pheasant and the emperor.

At this moment, a chamberlain came over in a hurry, with an anxious look on his face.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, please ask for an audience with the king."

The king of town asks for an audience? ? ?
Town King? ? ! ! !
Lu Pheasant and Liu Ying looked at each other. Liu Ying had no expression on her face, but she was relieved in her heart.

He couldn't cope with his mother.

Chen Ju came at this time to rescue Liu Ying, and Liu Ying was naturally happy.

So he quickly said: "Please come quickly."

After a while, Chen Ju slowly walked into the main hall. He looked at the situation in the main hall and smiled, then bowed and saluted.

After sitting down, Chen Ju didn't talk nonsense to Lu Pheasant.

Just asked a question gently.

However, just these words made Lu Fei's heart move.

Chen Ju could only be heard saying softly.

"Queen Mother, do you remember the old events of the old Qin Dynasty?"
