Liu Rong really couldn't stand Su Ji's weird eyes, so he had to throw out the topic.

"Gillian? I heard that she is very fond of Guantao, but she is still so young, how can it affect ......"

Su Ji said this, and suddenly paused, "You mean, you want to marry Chen Ajiao?" ”

She is not stupid after all, and she has been in the palace for so many years, so she quickly reacted.

"At the moment, it seems that there is only one way."

Liu Rong made a helpless expression of distress as he spoke.

He feels that since the time travel, his acting ability has increased greatly, and if he returns to modern times, he may be able to become an actor.

"No, how can you marry Guantao's daughter."

Su Ji flatly refused.

As long as the thought of becoming an in-law with Guantao, she had goosebumps all over her body.

"Then we can only watch King Liang be made the crown prince."

Liu Rong observed Su Ji's reaction as he spoke, and when the latter heard this, it was as if he had been hit in a dead hole.

"Is there really no other way?"

"It's okay to take money, maybe you can ...... it from a few uncles"

Before Liu Rong could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Ji.

Su Ji sneered and said, "Counting on them? Sows are able to climb the tree. ”

She has a clear understanding of this.

As far as her mother's group is concerned, it would be very good not to beat her autumn wind.

Want to borrow money?

No way.

Liu Rong knew that Su Ji's heart had loosened, and decided to add more heat.

With a frustrated look on his face, he said, "In a few days, it will be the time for the Changle Palace to hold a family banquet, if the imperial grandmother mentions it when the time comes...... Ay! ”

"Huh?"

Su Ji was suddenly shocked, with the character of that old lady, maybe such a thing could really be done.

"No matter what, no matter what, even if you give up the old face of your mother, you must always keep your position as the crown prince."

Su Ji is a resolute character, and since she has made a decision, she immediately sent someone to Princess Guantao's mansion.

When Princess Tao received Su Ji's letter, she glanced at Liu Rong even more.

Being able to settle his difficult mother in such a short period of time shows that Liu Rong is indeed a very capable person.

It was Princess Yiguantao who happily entertained the envoy sent by Su Ji.

Of course, this is only intentional contact.

There are still many procedures to go through for formal clerical etiquette.

What's more, this family affair also needs the nod of Liu Rong's cheap father Liu Qi and Empress Dowager Dou to count.

However, with Princess Guantao coming forward, these should not be a problem.

It's just that Liu Rong thought that the wife he was about to marry was only eight years old.

The emotion of three years of blood earned suddenly came to my mind.

If modern law were to be moved to this era, I am afraid that more than half of the men in the world would have to be shot.

After two days, Liu Rong received an invitation from Changle Palace.

When the Empress Dowager Dou decided to hold a family banquet and invite the descendants of the Dou and Liu families in Chang'an City to come to the meeting.

coincided with the state funeral, and many princes and kings had not left the capital.

Therefore, the scale of this banquet is extraordinarily large.

Changle Palace, Yongshou Palace.

This was originally Liu Bang's residence, and then Lu Hou Lin Dynasty called the system, and also lived here.

Therefore, the building and hall style of the Yongshou Hall are magnificent, magnificent, and everywhere shows the majesty of the son of heaven of the Han family.

Up and down here, no one dares to talk about it in private.

The eunuchs and palace maids were all trembling, walking on thin ice.

Under the leadership of the palace maid, Liu Rong sat in front of the seats prepared for them in the palace.

"Mother!"

Here, he saw Su Ji, whose face was not very good-looking, and his two younger brothers, Liu De and Liu Yan.

"Brother Huang!" Liu De and Liu Yan stepped forward to greet each other.

In Liu Rong's memory, Liu De is a literary young man who likes to dance and write.

And Liu Yan is a little weak-talking, that is, stammering, and his personality is timid and cowardly.

probably knew that they had no chance to get to the throne, but these two people had no ambitions, and the relationship with Liu Rong was not bad.

Then the three brothers sat behind Su Ji one after another.

At the same time, Cheng Ji and her three sons, the fourth Liu Yu, the fifth Liu Fei and the ninth Liu Rui also entered the table.

Tang Ji was born as Su Ji's maid, and before entering the banquet, she also brought the sixth Liu Fa over to ask Su Ji for a peace.

This is probably the only woman in the palace who has a fairly harmonious relationship with Su Ji.

Sitting opposite Liu Rong were Mrs. Jia and the seventh Liu Pengzu and the eighth Liu Sheng.

When he saw the confrontation between Mrs. Jia and the cheap mother hidden under his eyes, he knew that he had to add another name to the list he needed to watch out for.

And finally, the king? Vain hat ё 保桓 haze 䔓 嘤ざ?? Sorrowful tarsal carboxy?

It can also be seen from here that the king? In vain? Fat pounding shallow J Chen

"Vixen!" Su Ji said through gritted teeth beside him.

The three brothers of Liu Rong could only look at this with their eyes and noses, and pretend that they didn't hear anything.

In addition to the emperor, the princes and relatives who stayed in the capital were also invited to the banquet.

For example, Liu Jianglu, King of Qi, Liu Wu, King of Liang, and so on.

The Dou family also sent Dou Guangguo, Dou Ying and others to attend.

In contrast, Empress Bo seemed to have been forgotten, sitting alone in the corner of the banquet.

Liu Qi didn't like this queen very much, but he used to be lucky only for the sake of the face of the old empress dowager Bo.

With the death of the Empress Dowager Bo, Empress Bo's status in the palace declined rapidly.

The most important thing is that Queen Bo has not left any heirs so far, which makes many people covet it.

But men are not the only ones who have the ambition to "replace him".

Many people, including Su Ji, quietly set their eyes on the throne of the Bo family.

In history, after Empress Bo was deposed, Emperor Jing became the king? Soil (10) 17. Ravaging mistletoe?? stamp

Liu Rong has crossed over, so naturally he will not let history repeat itself.

It didn't take long for the Empress Dowager Dou to grope her way to the top of the throne with the support of the maids.

"Today is a family feast, so you don't have to be formal."

The banquet was then announced.

A pair of beautiful palace maids are like butterflies wearing flowers, and a plate of delicacies is delivered to everyone's table.

Liu Rong glanced at it, and his face showed a bitter gourd color.

The food on this table is plentiful, but the approach is too monotonous.

It is nothing more than steaming and cooking, and the technique of stir-frying did not gradually become popular until the Tang and Song dynasties.

Look at the people around you eating sweetly.

Liu Rong thought to himself, if it is okay in the future, opening a restaurant seems to be a very profitable business.

When the wine and food were full, the atmosphere on the table gradually became lively.

Empress Dowager Dou happily looked at the group of children below, and was in a very happy mood.

At her age, there are not many things to pursue.

The biggest hope is that I want the two daughters to get together under my knees.

Thinking of this, she suddenly said to Liu Wu, the king of Liang, who was not far away: "When is Wu'er going to return to China?" ”

"After the mother's birth, the child is ready to leave for China in three days."

Liang Wang Liu Wu raised his voice slightly, attracting the attention of many people around him.

"Why don't you spend more time with your mother in the capital?"

Empress Dowager Dou glanced at Emperor Jing Liu Qi as she spoke, and Liu Qi naturally would not disobey his mother in this matter.

In addition, the plan to cut the feudal domain also depends on the support of King Liang, so he took the opportunity to say: "Since the queen mother said it, King Liang should stay longer." ”

King Liang showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "This seems to be incompatible with etiquette, the minister has been in Beijing for half a year, this is ......"

In the Han Dynasty, the princes and kings were only allowed to return to Beijing once a year, and they were not allowed to stay for more than three months at most.

King Liang has greatly exceeded the time limit this time, but because of the face of the Empress Dowager Dou, no one dares to propose this section.

"Who dares to say more, when the first emperor, didn't Liu Chang often stay in Chang'an for a year? Could it be that Wu'er is not even as good as Liu Chang? ”

Without waiting for Emperor Liu Qi to answer, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't wait to say.

The old lady made it clear that she favored her young son, and at this time, naturally no one dared to touch this mold.

In the end, it was Liu Qi who made the final decision:

"In this way, King Liang will follow the old example of the former King of Huainan and stay in Beijing for more time!"

At this time, Chang'an was the most prosperous place in the whole world.

Not to mention the envoys of other countries who came here and forgot to return.

Even many princes, kings and nobles of the Han Dynasty often found various reasons to stay in the capital and refuse to leave.

Therefore, some of the princes and kings of the Liu family present were all sour when they saw the special treatment of King Liang.

Some people even read in their hearts: "The final fate of that Huainan King is not very good. ”

"Brother of the courtiers takes orders."

A smile appeared on King Liang's face with his head slightly bowed.

With the emperor's words, he is not afraid that anyone will attack him with this matter.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Dou was indeed secretly planning to pave the way for Liu Wu's position as the imperial brother.

Keeping Liu Wu in Chang'an was the first step.

She cleared her throat, looked around, and finally landed on Liu Qi's body.

"Emperor, you shoulder the heavy responsibility of the world, and you should know the importance of the country."

What is the country's foundation, and the reserve is also!

For the Han family and the whole world, this is indeed an extremely important thing.

But Liu Qicai has been the emperor for less than two years, and he is naturally resistant to this.

If another person were to bring it up, he would choose to exile him, if not to put him to death.

However, the person who asked these words was the only person in the world who was qualified to ask about this matter.

The Han family rules the world with filial piety, which is not something that is said casually.

Liu Qi could only put away his depressed emotions and bowed his head to make a teachable statement, "What the queen mother said is very true, I don't know if there is a candidate in the queen mother's heart?" ”

As he spoke, he quietly glanced at his eldest son.

If you want to elect a crown prince, Liu Rong is undoubtedly the best candidate.

And no one can find fault with it.

Above the banquet, it became quiet in an instant.

Everyone pricked up their ears, after all, this matter also had a close relationship with everyone present.

Empress Dowager Dou knew that the critical moment had arrived.

She has been the queen for more than 20 years and the queen mother for two years, although her eyes are blind, but her heart is not blind at all.

She looked carefully, the emperor's sons had grown up and learned how to fight for power.

If she doesn't take action, then her precious son will really say goodbye to the position of prince.

Especially Liu Rong's rise made the Empress Dowager Dou vigilant.

Liu Rong was originally the eldest son of the emperor, so he was naturally the best choice for the position of the crown prince, and coupled with the talent he showed, he was praised by the government and the opposition.

If you don't take advantage of Liu Rong's young age to put his son Liu Wu on the throne of the emperor's younger brother, I'm afraid there will be no more chance.

"The emperor wants to cut the domain, and the mourning family supports it."

"This is going to cut the domain, the strong clan in the east will definitely be dissatisfied, then Wu Wang Bi relies on his high seniority, when the first emperor was there, he already dared not to go to Chang'an, this knife to cut the domain, the mourning family looked at King Wu is definitely going to rebel......"

"When the time comes, the world will be in turmoil, just in case, the matter of this country is already imminent."

Empress Dowager Dou's words were reasonable, and everyone, including Liu Qi, nodded in agreement.

After all, those who can come to this banquet must all have their hearts set on the court, and no one wants to see the end of the court's defeat.

But everyone knew that this was the old lady's foreshadowing for the next words.

So, they all made a sound of listening.

Among the crowd, Liang Wang Liu Wu's face was slightly red, and his body trembled slightly.

Xin said: "It's finally here." ”

"According to the system of the ancestors, the position of prince should be elected from among the emperor's sons."

When Empress Dowager Dou said this, her voice paused, and she swept over a group of princes with that cloudy gaze.

Everyone who was swept up unconsciously puffed up their chests, even if they kept telling themselves not to have delusions.

But as long as you think about it, you can export it into a constitution, follow the law, prosper the country with a word, and grant the monarchy.

No one can resist this temptation!

"But in this turbulent time, many princes of the mourning family are too young, and it may be difficult for them to take on this big responsibility."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Especially Liu Qi's group of sons were even more red and excited, but because of the identity of the Empress Dowager Dou, they couldn't do anything.

Liu Rong looks like he is sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, and he knows it if he is familiar with history.

This is purely a delusion of Empress Dowager Dou.

Cheap Daddy Liu Qi is such a smart person, how can he watch the emperor's position fall into the hands of the side.

Even within the Dou family, I am afraid that they will not support this suggestion.

"Liu Wu, the king of Liang, is known as a virtuous person, and he is also the emperor's younger brother, and his status is respected.

After the Empress Dowager Dou finished speaking, she looked at Emperor Jing Liu Qi with a compelling gaze.

Liu Qi instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he thought of the consequences if King Liang fell to the camp of the local vassal king in anger, his face showed hesitation.

"Emperor, what do you think?"

Once the old lady decides about something, even nine cows may not be able to pull it back.

Emperor Jing was very helpless, and in the face of his mother's aggressiveness, he was just about to say something simulating.

Then, I saw Liu Rong standing out from the crowd.

Liu Qi's eyes rolled, and he immediately had a new idea.

"Liu Rong, as the head of the princes, what do you think about this?"

Liu Rong, who had always had a play-watching attitude towards this, immediately became stunned when he heard the words of the cheap father.

There is no such thing as a pit for his own son, right?
