Chapter 387: Eldest Grandson
Not long after, Liu Yuan issued an edict, and Liu Cheng, the king of Zhou, and Liu Cheng, the king of Zheng, respectively joined the official and the second ministry of the people to assist the chief official of Shangshu. The six parts of Great Xia, the power and responsibility are the heaviest in these two parts, and the two "great gods" are put so far, which shows Liu Yuan's intentions.
From the time Liu Heng was allowed to enter the military department before, the smart people in the court had expected this, Liu Yuan was officially inspecting the princes, and wanted to choose one and establish a prince. The position of heir, since Liu Yuan Jianxia, some people have constantly mentioned the matter of establishing an heir.
In his early years, Liu Yuan could also use the young age of his sons as an excuse to shirk. However, now, more than ten years have passed, the sons have grown up, and under Liu Yuan's intentional or unintentional laissez-faire, they have each gathered a wave of power. Liu Yuan wants to suppress it again, it's really a bit too much, besides, Liu Yuan's age is not young, he will not be confused, he is already the age of his grandfather.
Liu Yuan is not in a hurry, but there are countless people who are anxious for him. Opposing the crown prince, the Xia Kingdom, regardless of Hu and Han, is the consensus, and there is nothing wrong with deciding the foundation of the country early.
Previously, everyone's eyes were mostly focused on the eldest third son, not only in terms of age, but also in the army, in the army, in the county, and as a king. However, as the two princes of Liu Rui and Liu Qi have grown up slowly, they are almost at the age of the crown, which has also attracted the attention of some people.
Especially Liu Rui, this is the son of Queen Liu Zhi, although Liu Yuan is not very interested in the establishment of the elder sister, but Liu Xia has been sinicized so far, there are still many people who are supporters of the elder system. Especially Liu Zhi's identity as the princess of the Han Dynasty, Liu Rui has the blood of the Han clan in her body, and it is emotionally easier to accept Liu Xia, who has an increasing proportion of Han officials.
For example, Shao once wrote to Liu Yuan and asked Liu Rui to be the crown prince, but he was rejected without hesitation. However, it also took this opportunity to let more people "awaken", in addition to the third prince, there is also the "most princely temperament" Prince Rui.
Including Liu Heng's three brothers and a number of ministers, when Liu Rui is sixteen years old and crowned, he will also join the battle for succession, and some things are unavoidable. Even if he didn't mean to, the other princes wouldn't think so. Because of his identity and bloodline, he will have a group of people to support him.
After the end of the brutal Northern War, the world will stabilize for a long time to come, and all countries will silently lick their wounds, restore people's livelihood, and accumulate strength. Liu Xia is no exception, and the next sons will seize the heir, which will be the main rhythm of Hu Xia's internal development.
With Liu Yuan's current attitude and arrangement, the three kings of Chen, Zhou, and Zheng have the advantage, and the dispute between the three kings began to become fierce and slowly collided.
In the Chang'an market, some people have already talked about Liu Heng's injured leg, gossip, and exaggerated rumors. As for Liu Jue, some people also attacked him for being arrogant and domineering, recruiting customers, and accumulating dead soldiers, plotting against him. And Liu Cheng, don't look at him as low-key, it's not easy to arrange something wrong for him. What's more, he really has some rights and wrongs, but he hasn't been exposed.
Now it is only three kings, and it won't take long to become five kings, if Liu Yuan's intention is more vague, and in a few years, Liu Lang and Liu Xun's young sons will also grow up, and the situation will only be more chaotic.
The battle for storage positions is something to play and a headache for Liu Yuan.
......
A few days after entering the Ministry of Officials, Liu Jue felt that it was not good, he was in charge of the affairs of the prince, and it stands to reason that he had a lot of power, even if there was a book on it, it was nothing, and he had to give him some face. When the new official took office, Liu Jue was eager to make some achievements.
However, Zhao Xi, the secretary of the ministry, really didn't give him much face. Some of his claims, various vetoes. The six divisions of Great Xia were built under the leadership of Liu Yuan, and with their superiority, they were supported by most officials. However, in this regard, it is also in the process of continuous optimization and improvement, and the establishment of the new official system was not achieved overnight, but developed for several years before the formation of Liu Xia's Ministry at this time.
As soon as Liu Jue sat in the hall, he wanted to move, wanted to leave the mark of his king of Zhou, wanted to install his people, and wanted everyone to accept his ideas. Even if he was a prince, Zhao Xi decisively brushed his face.
"Your Royal Highness, news from the palace is coming, the princess is about to give birth!" was asked by Liu Jue to be a guard, and the guard led Ma Xiu to say to Liu Jue.
Liu Jue was in the archives of the Ministry of Officials, familiar with the information of the officials of the Xia Kingdom, and when he heard this, his face was happy, and he immediately put down the scroll in his hand and waved his hand: "Go, go back to the palace!" ”
The palace of the king of Zhou was in a busy situation, the princess Fushou was about to give birth, and Liu Jue, who had received the news, put aside the miscellaneous matters from the ministry and returned in a hurry. The news spread quickly, and Lan Yu, who was in the palace, couldn't sit still, so Feng drove off and quickly left the palace to the palace.
Stepping into the door of the mansion, straight into the backyard, the princess's accommodation, a circle of old women from the palace are gathered, in the door, Lan Yu is dressed in a glorious costume, and her face is majestic. Liu Aya, the pretty princess of Changle, also sat quietly, and on the side, there were several concubines of Liu Jue. In the inner room, Fushou, who was in labor, kept screaming in pain, and it seemed that he had not yet given birth.
"Mother!" waved his hand to exempt the concubine from saluting, bowed to Lan Yu, and then looked at the hall and asked, "What's the situation?" ”
Seeing that Liu Jue was a little anxious, Lan Yu whispered softly to reassure: "Don't worry, it should be fine!" ”
When Liu Jue heard this, he immediately wanted to break into the inner room, but was stopped. was about to get angry, but was stopped by Lan Yu. To Lan Yu, Liu Jue is very filial and does not dare to disobey.
"Brother Huang!" Liu Aya got up and called softly: "Sister-in-law, it's fine!" ”
Liu Jue looked again, paced back and forth a few steps, and sat down on the side case. Keep looking in, thinking to myself, I must have a handle.
When Liu Yuan drove to the Zhou Palace, there was already a jubilant atmosphere inside and outside the palace. Fu Shou gave birth smoothly, and he was still a prince, Liu Jue's eldest son.
In the inner hall, Lan Yu was holding a new life, her face was full of kindness, and Liu Yu could only watch from the sidelines, and she couldn't think about it.
"Here, let me see!" Liu Yuan's voice rang in the ears of several people, and they hurriedly came over to salute.
"See Your Majesty!"
Regardless of everyone, he carefully took the eldest grandson from Lan Yu's hands, and there was a crisp and loud cry, which made Liu Yuan feel slightly embarrassed. It's not good-looking, it's even a little ugly, and I can't see anything, but Liu Yuan is still a little touched in his heart, this moment, he has become a grandfather.
Newborn babies are too fragile to withstand the tossing and turning of adults, and are quickly taken to the clean room to take care of them. In the end, Liu Jue only looked at his son.
"What's the name?" Looking at Liu Yu, Liu Yuan asked.
"Please give me a name!" Seeing Liu Yuan's thoughts, Liu Yu was very knowledgeable and handed over the name to him.
Hehe smiled, Liu Yuan touched his mustache and thought for a moment: "Let's call Liu Yu!" ”
The king of Zhou had a son, and the emperor had a grandson, which set off a wave of music in Chang'an. The royal bloodline has been continued, which seems to be the embodiment of the national fortune of Great Xia.
