In the side hall of Changle Palace, Mrs. Dou had a sad look behind her, silently listening to the report of the inner servant. Han Anguo, the minister of Liang Guoguo, has been imprisoned by Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and the meaning is self-evident.

Empress Dowager Dou has long tried to avoid the tragedy of fratricidal between her two sons, and even did not hesitate to seek the position of prince for her youngest son Liu Wu, King of Liang, many times, but unexpectedly aroused Emperor Jing's jealousy and suspicion of King Liang, and finally forced King Liang to embark on the road of confrontation with the court by recruiting people to fight against the border.

Regarding the edict of recruiting the people of the four princes and counties to fight on the border, the Empress Dowager Dou was undoubtedly extremely opposed. The relatives of the Han family, who have been crowned kings, in addition to being glad that they have not been remembered by His Majesty the Emperor, are also suspicious in their hearts, lest this is the beginning of a new round of cutting the feudal domain of the emperor.

However, the families and heroes of the rest of the inner counties have the mentality of watching the excitement, and even faintly show their support for Emperor Jing, after all, they don't want the imperial court to recruit people from the county where their family is located, and now the emperor wants to recruit from the four major vassal states, which is really wonderful.

Under such circumstances, the Han Dynasty couldn't help but look a little weird. Originally, the major forces were clearly distinguished, but because of this edict, they were intertwined with each other at one time. Many people in the royalist faction questioned the emperor's edict, but many relatives came forward to express their approval of the emperor's will.

The early Han Dynasty was a period of gradual social and economic recovery and development, and the ideology and culture were relatively high. Politically, the Liu Han Dynasty is said to be consolidated, but the power of the princes and kings is also expanding, and the ** factor is increasing; Ideologically and culturally, the study of the sons has resumed, and the activities of the scholars have a certain degree, although they are not as arbitrary as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The important ministers of the court naturally dared to express their hearts directly, even if they annoyed the emperor, at most they were ordered to go home and be suspended for reflection.

Therefore, neither Emperor Jing nor Empress Dowager Dou could suppress the unfavorable remarks in the court, and could only let the ministers continue to dispute. As long as no one dares to speak out against the will, he will not move, and every morning is looking at the ministers in the hall with a blank face, and his face is red, and he has a special interest in his heart.

Empress Dowager Dou was anxious, seeing that as time went by, King Liang's various actions had faintly revealed a posture of trying to resist the decree, how could she not be worried? She went from being a mere palace maid to finally being able to climb to the throne of the queen and put her eldest son on the throne, so she naturally knows the way of power and scheming. Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, although her eldest son Emperor Jing is generous on the outside, she also sees the essence of cunning and cruelty in his heart and self-serving.

"Go and invite the prince to the Renxiao Palace, and say that the mourning family misses it tightly." After listening to the secret report from Liang Guo, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but sigh and instructed the inner servant.

Liu Che had just returned to the palace after the morning court. When he learned that the Queen Mother had summoned him, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. He just went to visit the Queen Mother yesterday evening, and after only ten or so hours, he "missed it tightly"? It's kind of weird. He asked Empress Dowager Dou's chamberlain to wait for a while, changed out of court clothes, and went to the Renxiao Hall in simple and casual clothes.

The Renxiao Palace, a luxurious palace that has been completed for only two years, was specially built for the Empress Dowager Dou after Liu Che was made the crown prince. Although Liu Che originally had the intention of promoting many new things to the Han magnates, it was indeed out of the idea of honoring his grandmother. Whether it is the intention or the layout of the palace, the Empress Dowager Dou is very happy, so she lives here most of the time, and only on formal occasions will she return to the main hall of Changle.

In the dormitory, Empress Dowager Dou looked at her baby grandson's smiling little face, and her originally depressed mood calmed down a little, and she said jokingly: "Not bad, not bad." After a while, Che'er seemed to be a lot stronger again. ”

Liu Che had a bitter face, collapsed on the mat of the side seat without any image, and said helplessly: "The imperial grandmother said that she was joking, my father recently forced the imperial kitchen to cook fat food for his grandson, and now his grandson is smelling the color of the flesh." ”

Empress Dowager Dou was accustomed to his lazy appearance, and instead of thinking about it, she loved it very much. She got up slowly, took a few steps forward, and sat down directly beside Liu Che, stroking his little head, and no longer speaking.

Liu Che couldn't help but tense up, and secretly glanced at the Queen Mother, but saw that her eyes were a little cloudy and full of love, but with a little sadness. Liu Che sighed in his heart, and then relaxed his instinctive vigilance, experiencing this rare heavenly family affection. Liu Che's parents died when he was a child in his previous life, and his grandfather was busy with official business, and his surname was strict, so he really didn't experience much family affection. After more than ten years, if Liu Che still has some true feelings for anyone, his biological mother Wang Wan is naturally in the first place, and he also has some family affection for the emperor's father and the queen mother.

Political struggles have been extremely bloody since ancient times, and Liu Che naturally will not have the kindness of a woman. But even if the series of reforms he led in the future will inevitably collide fiercely with the conservative forces led by the Empress Dowager Dou, he does not want to completely wipe out this rare family affection.

After a long time, Empress Dowager Dou sighed slightly, and said quietly: "Che'er, are you as jealous of your imperial uncle Liu Wu as the emperor?" ”

Liu Che was shocked, slowly sat up straight, lowered his head and was silent for a moment, before he asked softly: "What does Grandmother Huang Er think Che'er should think of Uncle Huang?" ”

Empress Dowager Dou looked at the familiar but unfamiliar baby grandson in front of her, a look of amazement appeared on her face, and she said in a trembling voice: "In this way, the emperor's approach, Che'er also agrees?" ”

Liu Che was ruthless and nodded heavily: "Father's move, I think it can solve the hidden danger of the princes in various places supporting the army and self-respect in one fell swoop, and it can be described as a good strategy for the long-term survival of the society and the eternal stability of the country." ”

A trace of anger flashed in Empress Dowager Dou's eyes, and she said with a slight coldness: "In order to solve the hidden danger, you have to force your brother to a dead end, or is it a good strategy?" ”

Liu Che slowly raised his head, looked into the eyes of the Queen Mother, and said seriously: "The emperor's grandmother is serious, my father intends to cut the domain, and he did not force the emperor's uncle to cut himself off from Sheji. ”

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but laugh angrily: "You are dizzy and can't see the emperor's intentions?" Although the mourning family did not approve of his previous various actions of cutting the domain, he never restrained him. However, this time, it has gone too far! ”

Liu Che shook his head slightly, and comforted: "The emperor's grandmother is angry, now that the father's edict has been issued, the Son of Heaven has broken his word." I only hope that Uncle Huang can stop the precipice, and don't make mistakes again and again. ”

Empress Dowager Dou got up suddenly, looked down at Liu Che, who was sitting precariously with a pale face, trembling with anger, and said coldly: "This is your answer to the mourning family?" ”

A fleeting trace of unbearability flashed in Liu Che's eyes, but he immediately regained his firmness. He bowed his head, knocked his head three times in a row, and then looked up at the Queen Mother, and said slowly: "The emperor's grandmother forgives her sins, and her grandson is the prince of the Han Dynasty, and he is burdened with social power, and he does not dare to abolish the public for personal reasons!" ”

Empress Dowager Dou suddenly saw that Liu Che's forehead was purple and blue, but her eyes were full of persistence, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back, and her momentum was stagnant. The entire dormitory instantly fell into a deep silence, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, making people breathless.

After a long time, Empress Dowager Dou seemed to be unable to support it anymore, her body shook a little, and she was about to fall. Liu Che, who was quick-eyed, hurriedly got up, held the arm of the Queen Mother, and stabilized her figure.

Empress Dowager Dou instinctively wanted to shake off Liu Che's arm, but she didn't succeed. Looking at the baby grandson in front of her, who was almost as tall as herself, she suddenly found that the little guy who was originally under Cheng Huan's knees has now gradually grown up**. With his wings growing, he is like a young eagle with wings ready to fly, and he is no longer the naughty and lazy child.

Empress Dowager Dou really began to look at Liu Che for the first time, in the past, Liu Che in her eyes, even if she was different from ordinary people and had many amazing actions, she was still a filial and well-behaved little guy. However, Liu Che at this time was a little more ruthless and stubborn in her eyes, which was undoubtedly extremely unfamiliar. even made her vaguely feel that she had never really understood this grandson, this immature teenager who seemed to be unable to bear it for many years.

Liu Che didn't say anything, but helped the Empress Dowager Dou to sit down slowly, and then quietly lowered his head and knelt in front of her.

Empress Dowager Dou calmed down the troubled thoughts in her heart, looked at Liu Che Wuqing's forehead, and still couldn't help but feel a little pity, she sighed faintly and said: "That's it, the mourning family will send people to try their best to persuade Wu'er, so that he can recruit the people as soon as possible in accordance with the emperor's edict and go to the border county to garrison the border." The mourning family is a little tired, you go back to heal your injuries, don't leave a scar on your forehead, otherwise you will lose your prestige. ”

Liu Che didn't say anything, and he knocked three times in a row, and then got up and retreated.

Out of the Renshou Palace, Liu Che looked at the high and clear sky and took a deep breath of cool air. Empress Dowager Dou only mentioned the recruitment of the people, but did not say that she would persuade King Liang to disband his private soldiers and enter the pilgrimage to meet him, which would definitely not satisfy the emperor's father. Even Liu Che himself could not tolerate the princes and kings led by King Liang to continue to support their own troops.

Cannibalism? The grudge between Emperor Jing and King Liang has not yet been settled, and Liu Che has to face his eldest brother, the deposed prince Liu Rong. He looked to the south and estimated that Liu Rong, the king of Linjiang, who was escorted to Beijing to await trial, would soon arrive in Chang'an City.

As recorded in history, Emperor Jing did not send the case of Liu Rong's invasion of the ancestral temple to Zongzheng Mansion and Dali Mansion, nor did he instruct the Tingwei Mansion to investigate and handle it, but handed it over to the Lieutenant's Mansion in an extremely strange way. The only difference is that it was Lieutenant Zhidu who tried Liu Rong in history, but the current lieutenant is Zhang Tang. However, both of them are loyal and cool officials, and it is no different to want to implement Emperor Jing's intentions.

Liu Che, the little butterfly who broke into the storm of history, may not be able to change Liu Rong's final fate. I only hope that Zhang Tang can be more thoughtful than Zhidu in history, otherwise he will rack his brains to find a candidate who can take over the position of lieutenant. The princes and kings of various places are now making frequent moves, and the lieutenant Chang'an, who is in charge of the 100,000 northern army and guarding the Beijing division, is undoubtedly extremely important, and it is necessary to appoint people who are loyal to the monarch with real materials.

(Huhu, disease-free and light, today it will be restored and renewed, brothers will support you a lot.) I will make up for the few chapters I owe, so forgive me...... (To be continued.) )
