Chapter 77: Banquet for the Prince
"How can this be true? The Dou family is really hateful! ”
When I came back from the groundbreaking ceremony of the Taimiao, I was in a very bad mood, Princess Guantao and the Dou family sneered at Yin and Yang for an afternoon, and the sarcasm of Pingyang Hou with guns and sticks was greedy and incompetent, deceiving the prince naïve and naïve, and living up to the expectations of the Son of Heaven, from beginning to end, they were insulting Liu Che's IQ again and again. {3.
Liu Che has been very smart since he was a child, he has a unique set of routines for looking at people, insulting his eyes is equivalent to slapping him in the face, and he can't stand it if he changes to a good-tempered person, not to mention that Liu Che's temper is hard and stubborn, and the more he is pressed, the more unhappy he feels, and he even hates his aunt and mother-in-law, Princess Tao.
On the way back, Liu Che didn't stop talking, and said at every turn that the Dou family was treacherous and hateful, and the murderous appearance looked really angry, and he couldn't blame Liu Che for being narrow-minded and couldn't tolerate strange words, at the age of three, he was named the king of Jiaodong, at the age of four, he was married to Chen Ajiao, and at the age of six, he was named the prince, and so far the fourteen-year-old Liu Che is smooth sailing, and his father loves his mother in the palace.
Growing up so big, except for the fact that the prince was thrown off face by Sangong Jiuqing at the beginning of the country, this is the second time that he has been dumped in front of him like this, Sangong Jiuqing has a big waist and a hard bull temper, and he is very stubborn, Liu Che's gang of old men in the court have no way, but it doesn't mean that there is no way to take the Dou family and their gang of garbage who have no other skills except for messing around.
In other words, the Son of Heaven can be cut off according to the crime of disrespect, and the prince is the future son of heaven of the prince of the country, and it is not surprising that he wants to kill the Dou family.
"Why should Your Highness be angry, after all, the Empress Dowager Dou is the pillar of the Dou family, the Dou family was tricked by the ministers, and it is also appropriate to have grievances in their hearts, if the ministers can't even stand this anger, how can they be in charge of the government and worry about the monarch in the future?"
Seeing Cao Shi's calm face without an angry expression, Liu Che glared at him angrily: "You are still in the mood to persuade me, if I were to be replaced, you would have been half angry and half dead!" ”
"But what if the minister is angry?"
"Angry...... It's better than not being angry! ”
"It's useless! Empress Dowager Dou doesn't criticize the ministers by name, even if the ministers know that this is unfair, what can they do? Anger and resentment only add to the annoyance. Cao Shi shrugged and looked lifeless.
It's not that he's pretending to be cool, but he's really calm, the Dou family's counterattack has long been expected, and the Empress Dowager Dou has been leading in the past few months, which shows that the old lady of the Dou family knows very well that she can't act rashly at the moment, and she is acting this play today to beat him, and don't try to challenge the bottom line of the Empress Dowager Dou, reflecting that the Empress Dowager Dou has no intention of expanding the dispute.
There are too many entanglements between the princes and their relatives, Dou Yifang can't hide the causes and consequences of entering the middle palace as the queen back then, and the secrets of the palace gradually fall into the hands of the princes with the passage of time, so the Empress Dowager Dou, who is the only one in the court, is not willing to tear her face, and beating the Marquis of Pingyang is equivalent to beating the Liehou group.
The Marquis of Pingyang and the Liehou used papermaking as a trap to make the illegal land property of the Marquis of Zhang Wu not easy to make public, and it must be the Dou family who made a fuss to the court of the Tingwei Mansion to open a trial, even if the Empress Dowager Dou was annoyed, she could not open it at will and turn the world upside down, and she could only scold him without naming him on occasions like Guò, which was already a kind of weakness and powerlessness.
He has already figured it out, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and now the Dou family is proud of the spring breeze, he can make full use of the fact that Mrs. Dou offended and humiliated him, and when the Dou family's first advantage is exhausted, it is the time when the Dou family is completely swept into the garbage heap of history.
The crown prince Liu Che didn't speak angrily, and he felt that he was indignant about what happened to Cao Shi, but he, the main master, not only did not get angry but also persuaded him not to be angry, and he didn't know which side Cao Shi belonged to.
Cao Shi said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't be angry, Empress Dowager Dou is your imperial grandmother, and it is also appropriate not to criticize the ministers by name, if there is any correction, then encouragement, just ask for a clear conscience, and it is absolutely foolproof to command all the lieutenants to sit in the town and take care of them, it is okay in the afternoon, why don't you invite Your Highness to sit in the minister's cold house?" ”
"Good! It is often rumored in Chang'an City that your cuisine is a must in Beijing, and I just want to go to your mansion to try the exquisite dishes of the Hou family in Pingyang. Liu Che ordered the convoy to change lanes and turn towards the Bacheng Gate to the east, which was also a huge construction site at the moment, with small sheds stacked with construction tools on both sides of the street, and neatly stacked with broken shovels and pickaxes, and new shovels and pickaxes on the other side.
Liu Che casually looked at the buildings rising from the ground, and suddenly said: "I heard that some of the fast Luli are sealing the roof, and most of the buildings can be completed in two months at most, and the progress of the project is faster than imagined, what did you impose?" Why do you know so many magical objects? ”
This question is not easy to answer, and Cao Shi doesn't want to answer it positively: "Because I, like His Highness, belong to some geniuses!" His Royal Highness's courage and insight are rare in the world, and the minister is just creating some small things that benefit the country and the people to contribute to the country. ”
"Well, I also heard that your family's four-wheeled transport carriage was purchased by Shaofu for 10,000 units, and it made a lot of money, right?"
Cao Shi said with a smile: "Thanks to His Royal Highness's support, the minister's 10,000 carriages were only sold to Shaofu in batches at a price slightly higher than the cost, and the first batch of 3,000 carriages has been galloping on the streets of Chang'an. ”
"Doctor Taizhong is a good hand in business, and it is even more rare that there is no stale atmosphere of greed and greed of businessmen, which is very good." Liu Che began to close his eyes after a few comments, and only the sound of the carriage galloping on the road in the quiet carriage was the same.
As soon as the convoy arrived at the Hou Mansion, it saw the four doors of the Pingyang Hou Mansion open, and Princess Yangxin personally greeted him: "I don't know that His Royal Highness the Prince is coming, and Yangxin has lost his welcome." ”
"Outside the forbidden province of the palace, don't say so many polite words to the imperial sister, let's go first and talk again." Liu Che was reluctant to lead the guard of honor of the prince Lang into the Hou Mansion.
The banquet was hurriedly prepared in the Hou Mansion Shang Dining Room, and the dance music was already ready to dance in the hall, and it didn't take long for the wine and delicacies to be served one by one, and Liu Che was really full of praise for the delicious dishes.
In the middle of the banquet, the prince got up and left the table to go to the toilet, Cao Shi frowned: "Why didn't you see Wei Zifu in the women's music team?"
"The son-in-law's new dance hasn't been practiced yet, and the concubine hasn't arranged for her to come out to dance with the music, what's wrong with the prince? Why are you worried? Princess Yangxin's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face was filled with a bright smile.
The black shadow floated by, leaving a faint reddish mark on Princess Yangxin's smooth forehead.
"Ahh I flicked my forehead again, and the gentleman bullied me again. Princess Yangxin covered her forehead and pouted unhappily.
"Self-proclaimed smart gentleman, do you think I trained my husband to be a concubine?"
Princess Yangxin asked stupidly, "Isn't it?" ”
"Do you know why I want to take in Wei Junru?" Cao Shi shook his head angrily and amusefully.
"The gentleman and the child are dignified in appearance and gentle in temperament, and the gentleman likes gentle women very much."
Cao Shi said calmly: "Don't pretend to be stupid to me, there are quite a few beautiful women in the Hou Mansion, but none of them are suitable to be sent to the palace, the three sisters of the Wei family are the most promising, Wei Junru is one year older than the prince, Wei Shao'er has already had an affair with Huo Zhongru, only Wei Zifu is the right age, appearance and temperament, her talent is not only in my eyes, but you are not always staring." ”
"The gentleman is so powerful, everything the concubine thinks has been seen through by the gentleman, the concubine has sent someone to inquire about the situation in the Hou Mansion very early, the three sisters of the Wei family are the most top-notch among the women in the Hou Mansion, and it is even more rare to come from the Hou Mansion for several generations as domestic slaves, this family has a good reputation in the Hou Mansion, if it weren't for these reasons, the concubine would not have thought of sending her husband to the palace." Princess Yangxin is not pretending to be stupid, and she has her thoughts and dishes.
Wei Zifu will be a peerless beauty when he grows up, but so what?
Princess Yangxin is confident that her own appearance is not bad at all, the sister-in-law of the Cao family will always be her child, and accepting Wei Zifu is only an unknown concubine Wei for the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and her children will always be just the grandson of the concubine, just like the grandson Han Yan of the Gong Gaohou Han Yan, from the perspective of Wei Zifu, she doesn't have to think about it to know her choice, Princess Yangxin herself is the most eager to send her into the palace, only Cao Shi will feel that it is more difficult to lose a beautiful woman, but what Wei Zifu got was the huge benefit of the Pingyang Hou Mansion.
At first glance, it seems that Liu Wan looks stupid and heartless all day long, but in fact, her own little abacus is also very exquisite.
Don't look far away, Princess Tao is relying on constantly sending women to Yongxiang to fix pets, Princess Yangxin is the prince's eldest sister, whether the prince will remember her sister in the future, add a "long" word to the name of Princess Yangxin, it all depends on whether it can envelop the mind of the prince Liu Che.
The Han system stipulates that the princess is the same as the liehous, and the eldest princess is the same as the princes and kings.
Her goal is the paper eldest princess, even if Cao Shi is unwilling to give it away, she will try her best to send Wei Zifu into the palace.
Princess Yangxin was thinking about her own little abacus, and Cao Shi was also quietly planning a shocking layout.
Liu Che inherited his father's cold side, the so-called monarch and his flesh and blood are the lightest, it is difficult to suppress the prince's fierce temperament without some means, Wei Zifu is a sugar-coated cannonball that softens the prince's heart, even if the validity period is only Wei Zifu's short youth, but as long as he can buy him valuable time to continue the layout, it is worth it.
Compared with the national fortunes of the Han Empire, the rise and fall of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and the meritorious princes, and even Cao Shi's heart always had to avoid falling into the three-hundred-year cycle trap of chaos carefully arranged by the Confucian heroes, and Wei Zifu was not particularly reluctant to enter the palace at all.
What's more, he has always been on guard against Liu Che one day, if Liu Che tears through the disguise and restores the face of the eternal tyrant, he doesn't mind using the palace conspiracy to send him to the Taimiao to enjoy the four hours and three sacrifices.
A merchant Lü Buwei can do it, and Cao Shi, who is a prince, can do the same, but what about Empress Dowager Xuan, who turned Wei Zifu into a big man? It is certain that the Han Dynasty can still shine through the ages.
Princess Yangxin said with a smile: "Hasn't the gentleman been in the toilet for a long time?" ”
——
Lü Buwei won't talk about it, Empress Dowager Xuan's eighth son is the wife of King Qin Huiwen, and the currently popular "Biography of Miyue" is about Empress Dowager Xuan's eighth son, and it's also interesting to have a name for Miyue. The two are put together, and they understand naturally.
