Seeing this situation, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was naturally a little happy in his heart.

However, thinking of the true intention of summoning the kings to Chang'an this time, Liu Qi quickly calmed down and said, "All the ministers are exempt."

"Thank you, Your Majesty".

However, when Liu Qiyan, the son of heaven, finished speaking, the palace banquet had begun, and it took several hours for everyone to push the cups and change the lamps, and then they all withdrew.

From ancient times to the present, in the Chinese dynasties, the dinner is a crucial occasion, originally in Liu Rong's opinion, the father will take advantage of this dinner to do something, at least to explore the tone of these princes and kings.

But he didn't think that in these two hours, Dad didn't mention anything else, which made Liu Rong a little confused............

The next day, it was the time of the sacrifice divined by the Son of Heaven Liu Qiling Taibu, and the civil and military ministers and princes of the Manchu Dynasty naturally went to wait outside the high temple early.

Liu Rong and Liu De and other princes naturally want to come here, because they want to sacrifice, and the people who come here are, of course, all of them have to wear formal clothes, and they can't wear any more fur clothes.

Solidly, the ministers, princes, kings and princes who were stunned in the cold wind were all shivering with cold.

However, everyone waited in the cold wind for nearly an hour, and Liu Qi, the son of heaven, finally came.

I heard a messenger shouting: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”。

However, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, who was wearing a crown robe, a twelve-gilt crown on his head, and a long sword at his waist, rode in a six-horse-drawn chariot in front of everyone.

The courtiers who had been blowing the cold wind for nearly an hour were even happier than seeing their own father when they saw Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, at this moment.

Solid this, they all couldn't wait to say: "The ministers meet Your Majesty."

I saw Liu Qidao, the son of heaven: "All the ministers are exempt from courtesy!" ”。

At this time, Liu Rong looked up and saw that the father in front of him was very different from what he saw in the palace a few days ago.

His face was ruddy and refreshed, "It's only been one night, is it true that Dad's illness has been cured??" ”。

However, just as Liu Rong was thinking, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, got out of the carriage, held the hilt of the sword in one hand, and walked towards the top of the imperial steps.

However, just when Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, had just stepped on the top of the imperial stairs with one foot, he heard the sound of ritual music not far away, and the sound of chimes resounded in this high temple.

The so-called "where the rite is and the pleasure must be followed", there is even a saying, poetry and books are not separated, and etiquette and music are not separated.

Since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the status of music has been exceptionally lofty.

However, after a while, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, walked to the gate of the high temple, and behind him there were several powerful men with big shoulders and round waists, who lifted the king of Nawen Baoding to the top.

As soon as he entered the temple, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, ordered this wrestler to put this treasure in front of the god seat of Emperor Liu Bang.

Then Liu Qi, the son of heaven, respectfully saluted to the god and said: "Emperor Gao's holy blessing, Baoding is now in the east of the river, this is an encouragement to me, and I will live up to Emperor Gao's trust, so that my Han family will last forever."

Immediately after the words were finished, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully to the throne of Emperor Gao.

The Son of Heaven knelt down, and the subsequent princes, kings, courtiers and others naturally knelt down too.

At this moment, I saw Taichang Pingyang Hou Cao Qi take out another volume of sacrificial texts from his arms and read it out in public.

…………………………………………………………………

However, after the reading of this sacrificial text is completed, the ritual process of sacrificing Emperor Gao this time can be regarded as complete.

After leaving the high temple, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said to the temple: "This tripod is stored in the high temple, and it is used to worship Emperor Gao from time to time."

Hearing this, this temple blessing is naturally said to be in the mouth.

In the sacrificial system of the Han Dynasty, the ancestral worship ceremony of the temple was held on the first day of the month and the day of the month, such as the high temple and the temple of Wendi, which would have at least two days of sacrifice every month.

Because of this, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, will say so.

After all this is over, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, will naturally return to Weiyang Palace.

As soon as he entered the Qilin Palace, he hadn't sat down for long, the Son of Heaven Liu Qi coughed violently, and suddenly a mouthful of blood came out of his mouth, and the Son of Heaven Liu Qi lay on his side on the bed

Seeing this, how could Wang Yan not be surprised, and hurriedly said to the palace maids and attendants on the side: "Why don't you go and call the imperial doctor soon!" ”。

Hearing this, these palace maids and attendants were like crazy, and they hurried out of the Qilin Hall to find the imperial doctor.

Liu Qi, the son of heaven, often falls ill in winter, and there is always a doctor in a side hall not far from the Qilin Palace, just in case of emergency.

When he heard that His Majesty was coughing up blood, the imperial doctor immediately picked up the medicine bag and rushed to the Qilin Hall with the palace maid.

As soon as he entered the hall, the imperial doctor didn't care about saying much, so he rushed forward to call the pulse of the Son of Heaven.

Wang Yan asked eagerly, "How is Your Majesty the Imperial Doctor?" ”。

After putting down the medicine sachet and wheezing, the imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty is suffering from the wind and cold, and Your Majesty still has an old stubborn disease, so you will cough up blood and faint."

Solidly, the ruddy and radiant look that Liu Rong saw was an illusion, and it was all a manifestation of Liu Qiqiang's support.

Without waiting for Wang Cheng to say more, the imperial doctor brought a roll of bamboo slips, and wrote down a prescription, "Take the medicine according to this prescription and feed it to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty will wake up after a while."

After hearing this, after taking the prescription in the hands of the imperial doctor, Wang Yan called the maid of the first palace to the front and said, "Hurry up and take the medicine and decoction it according to this."

"No!".

Then the physician withdrew.

However, Wang Yan immediately took out a mattress from the inner hall and covered it for Liu Qi, the son of heaven.

Before the palace maid who went to decoct the medicine turned around, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, woke up first.

Seeing that His Majesty opened his eyes, Wang Yan was naturally overjoyed.

Kneeling in front of the bed, he couldn't cry and said, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, you are finally awake", after speaking, Wang Yan couldn't stop kowtowing.

However, Liu Qi sighed and then said with some weakness: "My body, I naturally know, don't worry."

At this moment, the palace maid took a tray, obviously the decoction that the prince wanted to decoction was ready.

Wang Yan hurriedly reached out and took the decoction in the tray, and said: "Please take it for Your Majesty."

Immediately, Wang Yan stepped forward to help Liu Qi, the son of heaven, and leaned on the bed.

Just when Wang Yan was feeding Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, to take medicine, Liu Qi said again: "Today, I cough up blood, tell the imperial doctor that you must not tell others, and you are the same, especially the Queen Mother's ............."

"No", Your Majesty said, and Wang Yan had to respond.

After taking the medicinal decoction, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, lay down on the bed again and said, "I am a little tired, you should retreat first."

"No!" , Hearing this, Wang Yan retreated to the side.

But Liu Qi, the son of heaven, fell asleep.

Originally, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was going to open a dynasty the next day to edict the princes and kings to enter the court.

In the end, under the persuasion of Wang Yan, Liu Qicai, the son of heaven, decided to postpone the court meeting for one day.

……………………………………………………………………

And in this day, the rest of the people were idle, but Liu Wu, the king of Liang, was not idle.

Early in the morning, he sent someone into the palace to send a worship sticker, and wanted to enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager Dou.

My favorite youngest son wants to enter the palace to see herself, and Mrs. Dou is naturally one hundred and eighty willing.

In this way, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, drove to Changle Palace by car after his mother's consent.

When he came to the palace, he also deliberately took the gift he had carefully prepared for his mother, sat on the car, and stroked the lacquer box on his lap.

Thinking of this, Liu Wu even lifted the curtain and said to the emperor: "Drive quickly, the widow has something important!" ”。

Although the emperor did not know what the king wanted, the king said this, of course, he wanted to follow it.

In this way, everyone in the market saw that a car was driving wildly on the Chang'an street market towards the palace.

When he arrived outside the Changle Palace, he got out of the carriage, but Liu Wu did not go straight in as before.

Instead, he respectfully informed an attendant and said: "I'm tired of it, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, wants to see the queen mother."

This attendant had seen Liu Wu several times before, but he didn't expect that Liu Wu would be so polite this time.

The attendant hurriedly replied: "The slave and maid will go to the Queen Mother."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Liu Wu stopped him again, and the attendant asked tremblingly, "I don't know what else is going on with His Royal Highness King Liang?" ”。

Liu Wu didn't say a word, and took out a piece of gold cake from his arms and handed it to the attendant, "This is your gold."

Looking at this yellow, orange and orange golden cake, how could this attendant not want it, but when he squinted at Liu Wu, he was afraid that there would be something wrong with this golden cake.

At this time, for this attendant, he both wanted and dared not ask, and there was nothing more painful in the world than this.

Seeing that this attendant was so entangled, Liu Wu frowned, and then stuffed the golden cake into his hand, "If you are rewarded, you will accept it calmly!" ”。

In this way, the attendant hurriedly stuffed the golden cake into his arms, "The slave and maid will report to the queen mother for the king."

But after a while, I saw this attendant hurrying over, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has ordered you to enter the palace."

Liu Wu smiled and walked towards the Changxin Palace.

"Son Liu Wu visits his mother".

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't sit still anymore, got up and said, "Ah Wu, is Ah Wu here, come to my mother's place."

"Mother, it's Ah Wu, it's my son here", Liu Wu stepped forward with a smile and grabbed the hand of the Empress Dowager Dou.

Empress Dowager Dou said with a smile: "When my son has been in Chang'an for a long time, why did he come to the palace today to see his mother."

Liu Wu saluted and said: "Mother, don't blame, my son is here to go to Chang'an to worship on the order of the emperor's brother, so naturally he wants to see His Majesty first."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't stop nodding and said: "My son's words are true, the affairs of the court are very important."

Then he helped the Empress Dowager Dou to sit on the bed and said, "Mother, my son is here today because he has a treasure to offer to his mother."

Empress Dowager Dou was puzzled: "Oh? Why? ”。

Liu Wu smiled indifferently, then took the lacquer box to his side and opened it, and handed the contents to the Empress Dowager Dou.

"Mother, this is the treasure that the son wants to offer you!"

Although Empress Dowager Dou couldn't see it, she could still feel the touch of the object in her hand, and she could still feel what it was.

Then he asked, "Why should my son take a bamboo slip as a treasure and sacrifice it to his mother?" ”。

However, Liu Wu is right color said: "Mother, this is by no means an ordinary bamboo slip, but a treasure that my son has worked hard to get!"

This is one of the volumes of the "Tao Sutra" written by Lao Tzu! ”。

Mrs. Dou is the most staunch supporter of Huang Lao's learning, and naturally she is the most longing for Lao Tzu.

Hearing that the bamboo slip in her hand was written by Lao Tzu, the Empress Dowager Dou was naturally ecstatic.
