Liu Yuan saw from his expression that he was inconsistent, and said: "Lord, there are only the two of us here, so the lower officials are open-mouthed, but some of the lower officials' words are not unpleasant, the current emperor is weak, and the queen controls the government, which makes the dynasty sluggish, and all the people in the world are looking forward to a promising king to govern the world, so as to achieve the happiness of all the people, looking at all the princes, you are the only one who is a sage and can succeed to the unification."

"Don't say it, Liu Yuan, the imperial court has already established a prince, and now the crown prince and this king have grown up together since childhood, the prince is heroic, how can there be a share of this king's succession?"

Sima Ying told the truth, after all, he was the emperor's younger brother.

Liu Yuan said: "Lord Wang, don't you know that the queen is happy? ”

"Of course I know this, it was announced by the emperor himself in the court, and even the common people know about it."

"So since the people knew that the queen was happy, there was a nursery rhyme circulating."

"Nursery rhymes?"

"Yes, the ballad is like this, the south wind blows the yellow sand, looking at the Lu country from afar, the horses in the East Palace are deaf and empty, and the thousand-year-old skull has teeth and teeth."

"South wind? The south wind of course refers to the Jia Nan wind, the yellow sand? The prince's name is Shamen, and the yellow sand refers to the prince, looking at it from afar? Donggong Mazi? ......" Sima Ying thought slowly.

Liu Yuan said: "Lord, the south wind blows the yellow sand fiercely, referring to the queen's desire to harm the prince, looking at the Lu country from afar, when referring to the Jia family's power and power, plotting against the sky, the East Palace Ma Zi is deaf and empty, referring to the prince can not be unguarded, otherwise the chitose skeleton has teeth and teeth, Chitose also refers to the prince, that is, there is a worry about his life, this nursery rhyme should be credible, imagine that Empress Jia has her own biological prince, can she not kill the prince." ”

Liu Yuan's explanation is the Tao, because this nursery rhyme was made by him, when he and Liu Yao exchanged pigeons, he wrote it and passed it on to Liu Yao, and then it was spread everywhere by the people of Guiyitang.

"If it's really as the nursery rhyme says, this king will definitely help the prince, the prince has grown up with me since he was a child, it's very good, this king won't watch him be killed by Empress Jia."

"But... But... Things are not what the prince thinks, because the prince is not the real prince......" Liu Yuan said boldly.

"What did you say?"

"Now the people are not only singing nursery rhymes, but also spreading a saying that the crown prince is not born to the emperor, but the son of the first emperor."

This kind of statement was also deliberately spread in Luoyang after Liu Ji knew the truth.

"Liu Yuan is bold! Do you want to die? Say such a rebellious thing! ”

Liu Yuan knew that he wouldn't really be angry, and he would still want to hear what he said.

Liu Yuan was deliberately so frightened that he knelt on the ground, kowtowing again like pounding garlic: "The lower official should die, the lower official should die." ”

Sima Ying also heard Meng Jiu say this rumor, he thought, if the prince is really not the prince, and he is a brother, then he is not qualified to be the prince at all, let alone inherit the Taitong, so it is beneficial for him to not be the real prince.

Liu Yuan understood that Sima Ying was dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period at this time, and he must strike while the iron was hot, and said, "Xia Guan just said that he has studied the Book of Changes, and he wants to give the prince a hexagram to atone for his crimes. ”

Sima Ying helped him up again, pretending to be unimpressed and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's a pleasure, I don't know how to divide?" ”

Liu Yuan took out six copper coins, handed them to Sima Ying and said, "The prince only needs to throw the copper coins upwards once and look at its opposite, so that he can know the hexagram." ”

"Okay", Sima Ying took the copper coin and threw it into the air, as a few copper coins landed on the ground, Liu Yuan leaned over and picked them up one by one and put them on the table, looking at its opposite, it is a hexagram that has both water and fire, and those who get this hexagram can achieve great success, great power and great blessing, but if it is not manipulated properly, it will cause fire and burn itself, and the prosperity will decline, and the success will be successful, and later events show that this hexagram is also the true portrayal of Sima Ying.

Liu Yuan swept the six copper coins into his pocket and said, "Lord Wang, the hexagram you got is a great hexagram." Liu Yuan deliberately did not say that it was a hexagram, but said that it was a great hexagram, and Sima Ying didn't understand the hexagram, so he had to listen to him.

He asked, "What about the one who gets this hexagram?" ”

Liu Yuan said: "Simply put, the upper hexagram of this hexagram is separation, fire, and the lower hexagram is dry and heaven." The fire is in the sky, shining on all things, and all the people are obedient, and according to the heavens, they have achieved great things. It is a hexagram, indicating that the prince can finally achieve his wish.

Sima Ying is even happier in her heart, if she can get what she wants and sit on the throne, it will be really a happy thing! He said: "Quan Bo Yile, Quan Bo Yile, what else will Liu Dudu do?" ”

Liu Yuan saw that he was interested, and said, "The lower official can also measure words." ”

"Word measurement? Interesting, I don't know how to measure it? Sima Ying asked with interest.

"This is simple, the prince only needs to write a word casually, and the rest will be handed over to the subordinate officials to decide." Liu Yuan said.

Sima Ying said to herself: "What kind of words do you write? ”

While thinking about it, he looked at Liu Yuan, and said in his heart: "I want to write a word that is not obvious, and I also have a good meaning, so that I can show that I have no scheming." ”

Sima Ying made up her mind and said: "This king prays that the world can always be a happy prince, and the wish of this life is enough, so choose one of the four words of the world peace."

This word dare not be, only the Son of Heaven deserves, the next word is not a human wish, the word flat has the meaning of the world, the king is shallow and how dare to hope that the world is flat, in the end there is only one word, the king thinks that this word is homophonic with Tai, Tai is healthy, just take the word Tai. ”

Saying that, he took the pen and paper, pushed away the gaiwan teacup, due to the force, the cup spilled tea, and flowed down the black lacquered table onto the paper, Sima Ying did not look closely, and wrote a big "Tai" word.

Liu Yuan saw that this character was written very vulgarly and without any rules, and said secretly: "It's really a straw bag prince." ”

Liu Yuan wanted to pick up the paper when he approached, but he couldn't pick it up because it was warmed by the tea and stuck to the table, and the paper was stained yellow.

Sima Ying looked at it and smiled: "My side is too low, it was soaked in tea, it doesn't matter, you just need to know that it is a "too" word, it doesn't matter if you look at it or not." ”

When Liu Yuan heard him say it now, he had something to say in his heart, and deliberately knelt on the ground with a thud and didn't get up again.

When Sima Ying saw why you are here, she knelt down a few times, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, saying, "If you have anything to say, you don't have to be formal." ”

Liu Yuan said: "The lower officials don't dare to say it. ”

Sima Ying said: "Hehe, if you have anything to say, I will forgive you for your innocence, and I hope that the governor will know everything." ”

Only then did Liu Yuan get up and said: "In this way, then the lower official will try to say it, and please forgive the prince if there is anything wrong." ”

"I have forgiven you for your innocence, what else is there to worry about."

"Yes, the lower officials have the courage to say that the prince writes a Taizi, as you said, it is homophonic with the Thai character, and there is the beauty of Antai and Ankang, which shows that the prince thinks of the world, regardless of fame and fortune, it seems to be plain, but in fact it is a hidden mystery."

"Oh...... What is the mystery? ”
