However, a few days, when Liu Qilai, the son of heaven, greeted the Empress Dowager Dou, the Empress Dowager Dou said to the son of heaven Liu Qiyan that Yuan Ang was old and frail, and it was very miserable to stay in the land of Wu Chu all the year round, so it was better to stay in Chang'an to support his old age.

At the request of the Empress Dowager Dou, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, naturally agreed, saying that as soon as the worship of the dynasties was over, an edict would be issued, ordering Yuan Ang to stay in the court as the subordinate official of Taichang.

After Empress Dowager Dou ordered someone to inform Yuan Ang of this news, Yuan Ang was naturally concerned and encouraged. Since then, he has finally been able to stay in Chang'an, and then Dou Ying led him to arrange a mansion for him.

On the eve of the dynasties worshipping the Son of Heaven, the Imperial Historian made a mistake and came to the palace again to ask to see the Son of Heaven.

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, asked, "Why is Chao Qing here?" ”。

"Your Majesty, tomorrow is the day when the princes and kings enter the palace to meet Your Majesty, and the ministers have an important matter, and I have come to invite Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?".

Chao Cuo hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "On the occasion of the arrival of the kings, the minister wants to send some imperial historians to the vassal states to investigate the misconduct of the princes and kings."

When Liu Qiyan, the Son of Heaven, heard this, he turned around and glanced at Chao Cuo, and said, "How can the kings want the imperial court to send the imperial historian to go."

"Naturally, it can't be sent like this, the minister remembers that when His Majesty succeeded to the throne, he ordered the princes and kings to build a temple for Emperor Xiaowen in his feudal country."

After finishing speaking, Chao Cuo saluted again, and suddenly said: "This imperial history is to go to various countries to check how the temple of Emperor Xiaowen was built, and there is no other intention!" ”。

Liu Qi smiled slightly and said, "What Chao Qing said, great goodness."

When Chao Cuo was about to retire, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, suddenly said: "Yesterday, the Queen Mother said that she wanted Yuan Ang to stay in Chang'an to retire. However, I had no choice but to comply with the order of the Queen Mother, and I decided to order her to be Dazai and serve in the court."

Hearing this, Chao Cuo did not express his position, but turned around and left with a salute.

The emperor is a person who no one will believe except himself, how could Liu Qi, the son of heaven, not know that Chao Cuo has been at odds with Yuan Ang for a long time, and leaving Yuan Ang in Chang'an is also to knock Chao Cuo.

The infighting among the courtiers has always been a matter of the Son of Heaven's favorite, and the more the courtiers fight to the death, the greater the benefits of the Son of Heaven......

And when Chao Cuo returned home, he naturally scoffed, sat alone at home and said: "Yuan Anpifu, I actually went to ask the Queen Mother to ......speak for you", said this, and sighed: "It's only to blame that the soft-hearted back then left such a disaster."

After that, Chao Cuo made up his mind to eradicate Yuan An. And his 'enemy' Yuan Ang was also thinking at this time, 'One day I, Yuan An, will definitely be ashamed!!' These two people really hate each other to the depths, and they can hate each other so well............

…………………………………………………………………

On this day, it was finally the day when the kings entered the court to pay homage to the Son of Heaven, and this was the first time that Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, had accepted the congratulations of the princes and kings since he ascended the throne.

Liu Qiyi changed his usual clothes, dressed in the twelve crowns and crown clothes that were common on the day of his accession to the throne, and crossed the sword at his waist, and entered the Xuanshu Hall under the guidance of many palace maids.

Today, all the ministers did not enter the palace in advance, but waited outside the palace.

After Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, sat down, Taichang Cao Shi walked out of the crowd of courtiers and shouted: "The princes and kings have come to see the Son of Heaven!" ”。

I saw that standing outside the main hall, all the princes and kings dressed in dark robes lined up in two lines, and entered the hall in batches one by one.

Because there are many princes and kings, it is natural that they cannot visit the prince one by one, but arrange them to worship the Son of Heaven according to the relationship between the clansmen.

The servant shot the king and looked at the kings who entered the hall and said: "The king of Huainan, the king of Hengshan, the king of Lujiang, the king of Chu, and the king of Zhao worship the Son of Heaven."

Salute to Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven: "The ministers will meet the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven will be ten thousand years."

I saw that Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, was unusually majestic and said: "Flat."

After that, the King of Qi, the King of Jiaoxi, the King of Linzi, the King of Langya, and the King of Chengyang of the line of King Liu Fei of Qi entered the palace.

After the completion of the court, the Son of Heaven will hold a banquet in the palace to entertain the kings.

Empress Dowager Dou and Empress Bo naturally also had to attend, and among the courtiers, only the three princes and nine kings were able to accompany them again.

Liu Rong also wanted to leave, but as soon as he turned around, Wang Yan came over and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has ordered you to participate in this banquet today."

Only then did Liu Rong enter the palace with Wang Yan and sit on the ground behind the princes.

After that, it was the arrival of the Empress Dowager Dou, and the kings hurriedly got up and saluted the Empress Dowager, saying, "The ministers ask the Empress Dowager if she is okay."

Empress Dowager Dou said: "I haven't seen your royal family for a long time, and today I hope that the kings can drink happily."

All the kings said: "Empress Dowager Xie is missing."

Then came Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, and Queen Bo, although Liu Qi did not like Bo, but Bo was still the queen in the end. And the Empress Dowager Bo is not dead, and Liu Qi, the son of heaven, naturally can't touch the Bo family, although he attended with the Bo family, he never said too much to him.

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, raised his wine glass and said: "The kings and I are relatives of the same clan, and today the kings are coming to the court, and I am very relieved." Kings, drink the wine from this cup with me."

Hearing this, all the kings, whether they wanted it or not, got up and thanked the Son of Heaven and drank all the wine in their cups.

After that, the music was played, and many palace maids and singers entered the hall and danced.

When he was arranging his seats, he didn't know whether it was some or unintentionally, but he actually lined up Zhao Wang Liu Sui and Jiaoxi King Liu Wei together.

The two sat together and actually felt sorry for each other, Zhao Wang Liu then picked up the wine glass and turned to Jiaoxi King Liu Wei and said with a wry smile: "Jiaoxi King is doing well recently?" ”。

Liu Wei picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it angrily, and said, "Okay? What's good, the fiefdom of the widow is less than a county at this moment. It seems that it will not be long before the widow will be left alone."

Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, also said: "This king has worked hard for more than ten years, and he doesn't want to be empty now."

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and glanced at Liu Qi, the son of heaven, who was sitting on the main hall with an almost vicious look.

And Liu Rong was sitting alone on one side drinking, and the person next to him suddenly raised his wine and said: "Your Highness, I don't know if you can enjoy your face and drink this wine with your ministers?" ”。

Liu Rong turned his head and saw a fat man with a hint of obscenity holding a wine glass on the side, and the eyes staring at Liu Rong were even more shrewd.

None of the people who can come here to the banquet today are ordinary people, Liu Rong raised his glass and said: "I don't know if the adults are ......."

This person hurriedly replied: "The subordinate is Han Anguo, the prime minister of Liang State, and today he also has to go to the palace with King Liang to attend a banquet, and I don't want to be able to sit on the side of His Highness, which is really lucky."

It turned out to be the resurgence of Han Anguo, Liu Rong said in his heart.

Liu Rong picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "It turned out to be the prime minister of Liang Guo, disrespectful and disrespectful."

So, the two began to chatter with each other, and every time Han Anguo asked about political affairs and the Son of Heaven, Liu Rong always answered the question and pretended not to know.

made Han Anguo have no temper at all, and he originally wanted to put some recent things in Liu Rong's mouth, but he didn't want the royal highness in front of him to be so strict.

Liu Rong knows this person very well, it seems to be plain, but he is also a scheming person, in history, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, dared to kill Yuan An, who advised the queen mother, because he could not be the emperor's younger brother.

It was this Han Anguo who gave advice to King Liang to save Liu Wuzhi's life.

At this time, Liu Rong also understood that in this palace, except for himself, he could not trust anyone. Whoever comes into contact with you for no reason will have a plan.

……………………………………………………………………

Just when the banquet was in full swing, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, ordered the musician to stop playing, and said: "I obeyed the edict of Emperor Xiaowen to inherit the unification, ascended the throne and became the emperor.

When I ascended the throne, I ordered the princes and kings to build the temple for Emperor Xiaowen, I don't know how the temple was built at this time? ”。

When King Liang heard this, he immediately got up and saluted: "The younger brother thought that Emperor Xiaowen had built a good temple, and ordered Liang Guotai to worship from time to time."

And the faces of the other kings were all green, and after receiving the edict of the Son of Heaven, they just casually watched it, and then put the matter behind them, even if they were urged by the officials sent by the imperial court, they only started work hastily, and it was over. Where would you have thought that the Son of Heaven would ask at this time.

However, at this time, he had to answer that the construction had already been completed.

"In this case, when the kings return to China, I will order the imperial historian to go to various countries to investigate how the Taimiao is doing."

Hearing this, these princes and kings all secretly said: It seems that when you return to China, you must quickly build the temple of Emperor Wen.

So far, these candidates still don't know what the true intention of Liu Qizhi, the son of heaven, is.

When Liu Rong heard this, he said in his heart: "It seems that the cutting of the feudal domain will be put on the agenda in the near future."

Eventually, the banquet didn't end until late at night.
