In the seventeenth year of Jianwu (41 AD), not long after Liyin Lihua, Shache Wang Xian sent an envoy to pay tribute, requesting the establishment of the capital. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Liu Xiu gave the Xianxi Regions the Protector Letter Ribbon, as well as vehicles, flags, gold, and embroidery.

Dunhuang Taishou Pei Zun wrote for this and said: "Yidi cannot pretend to be powerful; and to disappointment to the nations. ”

Liu Xiu then issued an edict to take back the seal letter and ribbon of the capital, and re-give the general's seal letter and ribbon to Xian. The Shache envoy refused to exchange, and Pei Zun forcibly recaptured it. From then on, Xian began to resent, and still falsely claimed to be the protector of the Western Regions, and sent documents to the countries of the Western Regions, and all of them obeyed and obeyed.

At the same time, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Chishan Wuhuan repeatedly combined their armies to attack the border fortress, slaughter officials and people, and plunder. Liu Xiu issued an edict appointing Xiang Ben to order the sacrifice of Wei as the Taishou of Liaodong. Brave and powerful, he always took the lead whenever the barbarians invaded the border, defeating and repelling the invaders many times. He is the cousin of the priest

The imperial court ordered Changsha, Hepu, Jiaozhi and other counties to prepare vehicles and ships, build roads and bridges, open roads and valleys in the mountains, and reserve grain.

At this moment, Liu Qiang asked Liu Xiu to abdicate again.

Liu Xiu asked Liu Qiang: "Why do you insist on doing this?" But forced by people? ”

Liu Qiang was shocked when he heard Liu Xiu's question, and hurriedly replied: "No, it is because the sons are deeply ashamed of their father's careful teachings for more than ten years, not refined in the way of governing the country, not majestic and strategic, and really embarrassed to take on the heavy responsibility. ”

Frankly speaking, in his opinion, if Liu Qiang is a prince, he can only do it reluctantly, as Liu Qiang said, whether it is a majestic strategy or a way to govern the country, Liu Qiang is not good, and he is not decisive enough to deal with things, which is also the reason why Liu Xiu has not let Liu Qiang go to the East Palace, however, although he is not satisfied with Liu Qiang, he has never thought of deposing Liu Qiang's crown prince, after all, Liu Qiang is also a prince who has been carefully cultivated over the years. However, now that Liu Qiang has repeatedly requested, it can be seen that Liu Qiang is afraid of the position of the prince, even if it is more or less Liu Qiang's selfishness to fulfill others, but from the perspective of the society, he needs to think carefully and carefully. So he said to Liu Qiang: "Your father has now understood your intentions, but the position of the prince cannot be easily shaken, and it is related to the plan of the society, and the father needs to think carefully." Go back. ”

"Whoa." Liu Qiang responded respectfully and retreated according to the courtesy, although his face was still indifferent, but his heart was lost. Liu Qiang could already see Liu Xiu's hesitation from Liu Xiu's words, although Liu Xiu's words were within his expectations, he still inevitably felt lost. Liu Xiu has not let him go to the East Palace all these years, and he also knows that Liu Xiu is actually not satisfied with him, so he has been working hard for it, but unfortunately he is unable to do it after all, as Liu Xiu's son, he doesn't want to satisfy Liu Xiu, but unfortunately he can't do it.

The lost Liu Qiang walked unconsciously and came to the Changqiu Palace, looking at the plaque of the Changqiu Palace, Liu Qiang's heart was gloomy, no matter how hard he tried, Yin Lihua's mother and son always treated him politely, but they did not want to get close. After standing in front of the Changqiu Palace for a long time, Liu Qiang left with a sense of loss.

Yin Lihua in the Changqiu Palace knew that Liu Qiang had come and not entered, and had stopped outside the palace for a long time, and she didn't say anything about it.

Qingyu, who was standing next to her, heard this, thinking of her friendship with Liu Qiang in the past and Liu Qiang's sincerity over the years, she couldn't help but feel compassion, and she said to Yin Lihua: "Queen, who can do nothing, the prince has not had a good time these years. Over the years, Qingyu has hardly seen Liu Qiang smile sincerely.

Yin Lihua didn't know, but she was not just her, although she felt sorry for Liu Qiang, but she knew that she couldn't be close, she said to Qingyu: "The prince and the Queen Mother of Zhongshan, the King of Zhongshan and others have always been connected by blood, and today's palace is not close to him, just to avoid him from being embarrassed in the future." Life is endless, and the dispute between the Guo family and the palace is endless. ”

Qingyu thought about it carefully, and naturally understood Yin Lihua's concerns, so she was silent about it.

Yin Lihua didn't want to talk about Liu Qiang more, so she turned to Mama Liu, who was like an old monk, and asked, "Mama, is there any change in Jing'er's Fu mother?" Regarding Liu Jing's abnormality in recent years, Yin Lihua excluded many people around him, but what always made her suspicious was Liu Jing's mother, Ouyang Yulan, but unfortunately Ouyang Yulan was very cunning and did not show her fox tail so far.

When Mama Liu heard this, a dark light flashed in her deep eyes, and she replied calmly: "No." ”

Yin Lihua was naturally disappointed with such a result, and her heart was still uneasy about it. At this moment, Liu Jing came to see Yin Lihua.

"The son is not filial, and he has not come to ask the queen mother for many days, and ask the queen mother to forgive her sins." Liu Jing saw Yin Lihua and bent his knees and said.

Yin Lihua looked at Liu Jing, who had not seen her for many days, in a complicated mood, and said softly: "It's okay, the boy is ambitious in all directions, and the queen mother understands that Jing'er doesn't have to blame herself, hurry up." ”

Liu Jing stood up in obedience with an expressionless face.

Yin Lihua saw that the opportunity was rare, so she said to Mama Liu, Qingyu and the others: "You all retreat, this palace wants to have a good talk with King Guangling Si." ”

"Whoa." Mama Liu and the others responded in unison, and retreated in an orderly manner.

When everyone else left, Yin Lihua looked at Liu Jing lovingly and said, "Jing'er, come, go to the queen mother and sit down." ”

Liu Jing didn't say a word, then walked to Yin Lihua and sat down.

Yin Lihua looked at Liu Jing's familiar and unfamiliar face, her heart was really full of thoughts, she said to Liu Jing with emotion: "Jing'er has really grown up, and she is no longer the child who rushed to share everything with Brother Wang, Sister Wang, and Brother Wang in the past. Although you don't need the queen mother for a long time, the queen mother still looks forward to listening to you at least once in a while. Yin Lihua said this, with tears in her eyes.

Liu Jing didn't need to look to know that Yin Lihua must be a tender appearance at this time, he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted when he saw it, so he still lowered his head and replied: "As long as the sons and daughters are free, they will often come to visit the queen mother." ”

Yin Lihua lowered her eyes, smiled a little bitterly, and thought of Ouyang Yulan in a flash, although she was still not sure whose heart Ouyang Yulan was and what her intentions were, but for the sake of safety, she took the opportunity to say to Liu Jing: "The queen mother sees that Ouyang Fu's mother is old, and wants to let her go out of the palace to reunite with her family and live for a long time, I don't know what you think Jing'er?" ”

Liu Jing heard Yin Lihua say this, thinking that Ouyang Yulan had been in poor health recently, and she also agreed with Yin Lihua's suggestion, so she responded: "The queen mother is very worried, and her son will arrange it when she goes back." ”

Yin Lihua saw that Liu Jing agreed, and she was relieved of this, but Yin Lihua never thought that such an arrangement would just add trouble to herself and make Liu Jing stay away from her. (To be continued.) )
