Chapter 183: Getting Back Together
However, Empress Dowager Dou's body is still very tough, especially after Liu Wu, the king of Liang, arrived in Chang'an, and she was even more settled.
Seeing that the Queen Mother's illness was getting better day by day, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, Liu Wu, the King of Liang, and the people of the Dou clan were naturally happy.
On this day, when Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, was reviewing the chapter in the Qilin Palace, he saw Wang Yan walking to his front and saluted: "Your Majesty, King Liang is asking to see you outside the palace."
Putting down the bamboo slip in his hand, Liu Qiyi, the son of heaven, frowned and said to himself: "What is he doing here?"
However, since Liu Wu is here, he naturally can't see it.
"Call him into the temple!"
"No!" After speaking, Wang Yan bowed out of the palace to spread the order of the Son of Heaven.
However, after a while, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, entered the palace.
"Brother courtier, meet Your Majesty!" , Liu Wu saluted.
"King Liang is exempt, come and give a seat!" , Liu Qiyan, the Son of Heaven, said.
After Liu Qi, the son of heaven, finished speaking, the maid of the first palace immediately brought a seat for Liu Wu.
"Thank you, Your Majesty".
After Liu Wu sat down, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, asked again: "King Liang came to see me today, what is the matter?" ”。
Then Liu Wu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, my brother came to Chang'an this time because his mother was seriously ill, so His Majesty summoned him to the palace.
Now that the queen mother's body is recovering, the younger brother has come to bid farewell to His Majesty and return to the Liang Kingdom."
Liu Wu said this, but it was a little unexpected by Liu Qi, the son of heaven, who originally thought that Liu Wu was begging him to stay in Chang'an for more time on the grounds of the queen mother's illness. But he didn't want the plot to be completely reversed, and before he said that he wanted Liu Wu to return to the country, he himself proposed it first and wanted to leave.
However, if this was Liu Wu before, he might be like Liu Qi, the son of heaven, imagined, and he was reluctant to leave Chang'an, but after pacifying the rebellion of Wu Chu and Wu Kingdom, Liu Wu was hit one after another.
To say that the work of quelling the rebellion of Wu and Chu was to put down the rebellion of Wu and Chu, although in the end it was Zhou Yafu who ordered someone to cut off the grain route of the Wu and Chu rebels and defeat the main force of the rebels, but if there was no Liu Wu's death to defend him, the rebels would break through the Liang State in one fell swoop, and the balance of victory might be tilted to the other side.
In this way, Liu Wu first came to Chang'an in a beautiful way, and Liu Wu, who was full of joy, thought that he could be the emperor's younger brother because of his great achievements, but he didn't want to be reported as soon as he came to Chang'an.
After several times, not to mention, I asked my mother Empress Dowager Dou, and my mother responded, first saying that Your Majesty was allowed to do it, and before I was happy for a day, the courtiers took the Song Xuangong to pass on the younger brother and not to pass on the son to cause the rebellion of the Song State V as an example to admonish the Empress Dowager, and finally made the Empress Dowager Dou completely change her mind, and was no longer willing to help Liu Wu succeed, but Liu Wu himself was driven out of the palace by his mother for the first time in his life.
In the first few days, Liu Wu really had the idea of asking the assassins to come to Chang'an and kill the courtiers who were in the way of his own affairs.
However, at this time, Liu Wu was not persuaded by Han Anguo and Zhang Yu as in history, and did not do the stupid thing of assassinating the courtiers............
After three times and two times, even if Liu Wu is obsessed with the position of the emperor's younger brother, he should have some enlightenment, not the queen mother or the courtiers who are unwilling to make him the emperor's younger brother, but his eldest brother, the current son of heaven is unwilling.
In history, Liu Wu jumped out to fight for the position of the emperor's younger brother, and there were other reasons. First, Liu Rong has been the prince for two or three years in history, but he wasted all these years.
He didn't want to try to consolidate his position, and he didn't make any achievements, so he completely didn't want to be a prince.
People with such mediocre qualifications can be princes, how could Liu Wu be convinced in his heart, but after abolishing Liu Rong, Liu Wu felt that his opportunity had come, so he jumped up and down to be the emperor's younger brother.
However, in the end, it was Liu Yu, who was not yet ten years old, who was not yet ten years old, how could Liu Wu give up, so in anger, he sent people to assassinate Yuan Ang and Dou Ying and others.
But at this time, it is different, as long as a discerning person can see who the Son of Heaven will appoint as the prince at this time, and the person who will be the prince in the future will be impeccable, whether it is his mind or his decision to deal with things.
………………………………………………………………………
Liu Wu said this, and after a long silence for the Son of Heaven Liu Qi, he said: "The Queen Mother's body has not yet healed, and the Queen Mother loves King Liang the most, so she will stay in Chang'an for a while and then return to Liang State."
Liu Wu's words, where would the Son of Heaven Liu Qi not understand, take the initiative to show weakness and no longer have the intention of arguing, so the Son of Heaven Liu Qi will speak out to dissuade him.
Hearing this, Liu Wu said with tears in his eyes: "Brother thank you, Your Majesty!" ”。
As long as Liu Wu no longer wants to fight for what is the emperor's younger brother, the relationship between Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, and Liu Wu, the King of Liang, will still have room for relaxation. And the Son of Heaven Liu Qi and Liu Wu grew up together, first in Daiguo, and then in Chang'an, they were inseparable.
It wasn't until Liu Qi was canonized by Emperor Wen as the crown prince and Liu Wu was named the king of Huaiyang, that he was about to leave Chang'an and go to the fief when he was old, and the two separated.
Otherwise, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, would not have painstakingly ordered Liu Rong to send the jade pendant given by Emperor Wen to his brothers to Liu Wu when he was driven out of the palace and left Chang'an last time.
Subsequently, Liu Wu was about to retire and leave.
However, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said: "Today, I want to drink with King Liang, can King Liang be willing?" ”。
In this way, Liu Wu smiled and said: "Your Majesty's order, the younger brother naturally has to obey it."
Then Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, also smiled: "I still have some political affairs to deal with, and King Liang can go to the side hall to rest for a while."
"Thank you, Your Majesty".
Subsequently, Liu Wu, under the leadership of Wang Yan, went to a side hall in the Weiyang Palace, "The king rests here for a while, and His Majesty will come here later."
Wang Yan saluted Liu Wu and turned to leave.
In this way, in just half an hour, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, arrived in this side hall.
"I have just finished disposing of political affairs, and King Liang has been waiting for a long time."
Hearing this, Liu Wu stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty is busy with political affairs, how dare your brother blame him."
Then Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, ordered Wang Yan to go and deliver the meal.
After several palace maids put some food and wine on the table in front of the two, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, ordered all the palace maids in the palace to retreat outside the palace.
Xie Cai said: "Today, only I and King Liang drink together, so I only talk about brotherhood, and talk about the courtesy of kings and ministers."
After speaking, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, raised his wine glass and wanted to drink it with Liu Wu.
When Liu Wu heard this, he also raised his wine glass and said, "Brother Chen, thank Your Majesty!" ”。
After putting down the wine glass, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said with emotion: "The last time I drank with King Liang, it was when I was the first emperor, and now I think about it, it has been so long."
"What Your Majesty said is that it was when my brother went to Chang'an to meet the first emperor..................."
The two drank and talked happily in the Weiyang Palace, but this matter has already reached the ears of others.
………………………………………………………………
Due to the illness of the Queen Mother, the eldest princess Liu Concubine had to visit the Queen Mother in the palace almost every day, and later Liu Concubine also thought that it was too troublesome to go back and forth between the palace and the palace every day.
So he went to ask Liu Qi, the son of heaven, to live in the palace for a while.
Liu Concubine wants to live in the palace for a longer time, and the Son of Heaven Liu Qi will naturally not be unwilling, and Liu Concubine is still here to serve the Queen Mother, so Liu Qi will not obstruct it.
However, Liu Concubine didn't know where to know that the Son of Heaven and King Liang were feasting in the palace today.
When he came to visit his mother Empress Dowager Dou in Changxin Palace, he said: "Does my mother know that King Liang came to the palace today to meet His Majesty."
However, before Liu Wu went to see Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, he first went to the Changxin Palace to visit the Empress Dowager Dou, but he never mentioned that he wanted to see the Son of Heaven.
Empress Dowager Dou naturally knew that there was a gap between Liu Wu and Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, at this time, and when she learned that Liu Wu had gone to see the Son of Heaven, she hurriedly asked, "Do you know what happened to Ah Wu going to see Your Majesty?" ”。
Liu Concubine sat on the side of the bed and said: "My daughter doesn't know it, but my daughter knows that His Majesty seems to be drinking with King Liang today."
Hearing Liu Concubine say that the Son of Heaven was drinking with Liu Wu, the Empress Dowager Dou immediately smiled, for her two sons, the Empress Dowager Dou still knew, this must be the relationship between the two reversed.
However, even if she didn't know what happened and eased the relationship between the two, Empress Dowager Dou was still very happy.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Dou was so happy, Concubine Liu asked, "Mother, what's so happy?"
Reaching out to hold Liu Yan's hand, Empress Dowager Dou said: "Your Majesty can drink with King Liang, there must be no gap between the two."
Liu Yandang smiled and said: "What my mother said is right, what she said is right."
However, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, and Liu Wu, the king of Liang, were in this side hall and drank until night.
In the end, under Wang Yan's constant persuasion, today's feast ended.
Both of them were very drunk, and the road was a little unstable, so Liu Wu got into the carriage and left with the support of several attendants.
Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, is not a good drinker, he has never been so drunk before, but he never thought that he would get drunk when he drank with Liu Wu and the others.
In the end, a group of attendants and maids carefully supported him before he was sent to the dormitory of the Qilin Palace.
In the early morning of the next day, when Liu Qi, the son of heaven, woke up, he only felt that his head was still dizzy, so he secretly said: "You must not drink like this again from now on."
After getting up under the service of several palace maids, Wang Yan approached the Son of Heaven Liu Qi and said: "Your Majesty was very drunk yesterday, and the minister has ordered someone to prepare some clear porridge, which Your Majesty can eat."
Hearing this, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, nodded.
………………………………………………………………………
Empress Dowager Dou was in a good mood after knowing that the relationship between the Son of Heaven and Liu Wu, the king of Liang, had eased, and in the days that followed, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, went to visit the Empress Dowager Dou in the Changxin Hall with Liu Wu.
The two sons finally stopped arguing over the succession to the throne, and the big stone hanging in the heart of the Empress Dowager Dou finally landed.
The mood is very good, and the disease will naturally get better quickly, but after a few days' work, the Empress Dowager Dou can already walk on the ground with the support of the palace maids.
After a re-examination by Chun Yuyi, it was determined that the Empress Dowager Dou's temperature illness was completely cured at this time, but her body was still a little weak at this time.
Hearing this, everyone can finally feel at ease.
On the spot, Liu Wu resigned to Liu Qi, the son of heaven, again, "Your Majesty, it has been nearly a month since my brother came to Chang'an, and the affairs of the country, my brother is really relieved, and it is time to return to Liang."
But he didn't want the Son of Heaven Liu Qi to still say: "It's okay, as far as I know, Han Anguo, the prime minister of Liang State, can also be regarded as a usable talent, so let him temporarily replace Liang Guo's affairs." I have a great deal to do in the past few days, and after this is over, you will leave."
Is there anything else to do? Hearing this, Liu Wu secretly wondered in his heart what the big deal was.
Could it be that Your Majesty is going to issue an edict to establish a reserve?
Liu Wu is hand arched and said: "Your Majesty has an order, and the younger brother will naturally obey it, with Han Anguo here, Liang Guo should have no major matter."
