The rebellion of the Seven Kings was quelled, and the issue of the heir to the throne once again aroused the attention of the government and the opposition.

Queen Bo was not favored and did not give birth to children. Liu Qi has no sons-in-law, and the position of the prince has been vacant for four years. This matter is not only nerve-wracking for Queen Bo, but also for Empress Dowager Dou and Liu Qi, and the ministers are even more worried.

Empress Dowager Dou doted on her youngest son, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, Liu Qi and Liu Wu were brothers of the same mother, and their relationship was also very close.

Liu Wu came to Chang'an for the Hajj, performed the pilgrimage, and then went to the harem to accompany his mother to eat with the emperor's brother and share the joy of family.

Liu Qi drank half of the wine a little too much, and half of it was to please his mother, so he casually said to Liu Wu: "I will not be there in the future, and I will pass on the throne to you." ”

Although Liu Qi has no sons-in-law, his sons have already given birth to ten. Liu Wu knew in his heart that the emperor's elder brother just said it casually, and he couldn't take it seriously, but despite this, he was still very happy, and he said the scene, I don't dare to be my brother, brother, you will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and your longevity will be with Tianqi.

When the Empress Dowager Dou, who was sitting at the top, heard this, she was happy in her eyes and couldn't close her mouth with a smile.

Such a happy and harmonious atmosphere of mother's kindness and filial piety, brotherhood, friendship and brotherhood was destroyed by a person who does not know how to flatter!

This person is Dou Ying, he is the cousin of the Empress Dowager Dou, and his position is Zhan Shi, who manages the affairs of the palace, so he also participated in this family banquet.

When Dou Ying heard the emperor say this, he immediately became alert, he picked up his wine glass, got up to toast Liu Qi, and said solemnly: "The world is the world of Emperor Gaozu!" The Han family system, the throne is passed down from father to son. Your Majesty, how can you pass it on to King Liang! ”

Liu Qi came to his senses, what he said just now was not appropriate, he said haha, and the matter was covered up.

Empress Dowager Dou lowered her face, very unhappy, Dou Ying, whose relatives are you? Who are you talking for?

After that, the old lady hated Dou Ying, she expelled Dou Ying from the list of relatives of the Dou family, and did not allow Dou Ying to enter the palace.

Dou Ying has a very good character, you don't let me enter the palace, I still dislike the official and quit. Dou Ying resigned under the pretext of illness. Until the pacification of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Dou Ying made military merits and was named Wei Qihou.

In the court, Wei Qihou Dou Ying and Zhou Yafu, who had made great contributions, became the most sought after by the ministers at the same time.

Liu Wu, the king of Liang, had an unpleasant quarrel with Zhou Yafu, and Zhou Yafu certainly did not support Liu Wu as the prince.

Liu Wu, the king of Liang, moved his mind: To quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, I stuck to the Liang State and made great contributions. My brother doesn't have a son-in-law, and I have my mother's support, so it's not impossible to be a prince.

He struggled for this idea for the rest of his life.

Liu Wu returned to the Liang State and set out to build a villa east of the national capital Suiyang, which could not only play and hunt, but also house visitors.

After the completion of the garden, a radius of more than 300 miles, by the mountains and rivers, pavilions and pavilions are densely covered, planting strange flowers and plants all over, raising rare birds and beasts. From the Liang Palace to the Annex, a more than 30-mile-long air corridor was built to connect it. The world calls this garden "Liang Garden".

Liu Wu recruited heroes from all over the world, and celebrities Yang Sheng, Gongsun Wei, Zou Yang and others all came to defect and give advice to Liu Wu.

Gongsun Wei is a native of Qi and is good at intrigues. He heard that King Liang was recruiting talents and came to take refuge. Liu Wu met with him, chatted very speculatively, rewarded him with 1,000 gold on the spot, made him a lieutenant, and gave him the nickname "General Gongsun".

A few years later, Yang Sheng and Gongsun Wei will assist Liu Wu in causing a major incident.

There is no intention to plant flowers and flowers, and there is no intention to plant willows and willows. In the end, Liu Wu Group failed to achieve its political goals, but formed a famous 'Liangyuan Literature' creative collective, leading the literary world for decades, which was a surprise for Dahan.
