The court of the Han dynasty did not have the splendor of the Tang Dynasty, nor the extravagance of the Forbidden City of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Along the corridor, Liu De could see that the paint on many of the railings had faded, and some of the floors had apparently been repaired several times.

At the beginning, Xiao He was ordered to preside over the construction of the two palaces of "Weiyang" and "Changle", and once said to Liu Bang: If it is not magnificent, it is not powerful.

At that time, the court was magnificent, showing the majesty of the Han family to the subjects of the world.

However, times have changed.

Liu De's grandfather, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen Liu Heng is a well-known thrifty man, at the beginning, Liu Heng wanted to repair a pavilion, found a craftsman to estimate the cost, and found that it cost a hundred gold, equivalent to the family resources of ten middle-class families, this thrifty son decided not to repair.

This son of heaven, even before his death, still remembered in his edict in detail what he should do to save money.

Liu De's cheap father, when he is today, although he is not as good as Emperor Taizong Xiaowen in terms of diligence and thrift.

But after all, it was born a poor child who had suffered in Daidi at the beginning.

Therefore, he can also inherit the legacy of the first emperor, and during his reign, the Han court did not expand and renovate much, and the money of the Han family was saved.

So much so that when some people praise the rule of Wenjing in the future, they will never forget the example of the string of money in the national warehouse rotting during the reign of Wenjing.

But......

Liu De remembered what he saw when he came to Chang'an for the last time in his previous life.

The palace is expanding......

Workers transporting wood and stone can be seen everywhere......

The two generations of Wenjing broke their fingers for decades and saved them with the intention of using them as money and resources for a decisive battle with the Xiongnu, and they became Liu Che's Shanglin Yuan and Jianzhang Palace in a steady stream.

And the cost of fighting the Xiongnu was evenly distributed among the common people.

The two generations of Wenjing have done their best to recuperate and recuperate, and the taxes for the small people have been reduced again and again.

The field tax was reduced to thirty taxes and one, and the service period of Xiaomin was directly postponed from the fifteen-year-old Shifu in the Qin Dynasty to the age of twenty.

It is precisely these measures that keep the world peaceful, and the small people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the Han family has stabilized.

However, in the hands of Liu Che, the virtue and politics of the two generations of Wenjing disappeared cleanly, and there were many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and in order to raise military expenses, Liu Che even invented an unprecedented oral calculation - children over the age of three have to pay taxes, twenty-three yuan a year.

This is something that even the so-called 'Tyrannical Qin' has not done......

Thinking of these, Liu De had another reason in his heart to be the emperor.

Not for yourself, but for the sake of the people in the world!

Who could be more sympathetic to the people than the Traveler?

Although Liu De also knows that this is just his own wishful thinking.

However, with such a reason, his waist pole instantly stiffened a lot.

Facts have proved that even if you are a robber, if you resist the banner of 'robbing the rich and helping the poor' and 'doing the right thing for heaven', then the efficiency of robbery will be much higher than that of simple robbery.

In the history of mankind, an organization or individual with a glossy garb will not necessarily succeed, but those who do not will fail.

Unconsciously, Liu De came to the door of the dormitory.

"Your Highness......" The eunuch guarding the door saw Liu De and quickly knelt down.

Liu De looked at it, he still knew this eunuch, it was Da Changqiu Li Xin, the so-called Da Changqiu, in fact, was the queen's housekeeper, the highest rank of the palace eunuch, usually on behalf of the queen to manage the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and even directly punished some concubines with lower status.

It's just a pity......

Empress Bo is not the Empress Dou of the first emperor......

Therefore, Queen Bo's Da Changqiu is actually just an ornament and does not have much power.

This can be seen from the fact that only Li Xin was guarding the door.

Liu De nodded and asked, "Is the queen mother okay?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the queen is better now, she has just taken some calming decoction, and she is ...... sleeping at this time," Li Xin replied in a proper manner.

"Take me in for a visit,......" Liu De instructed softly: "Don't alarm the queen mother!" ”

"No!" Li Xin nodded, and led Liu De in.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu De smelled the burning sandalwood that soothed the nerves.

Seeing Liu De coming in, several maids who had been standing in the palace made a gesture to salute and greet the queen.

Liu De hurriedly put his finger to his lips to stop their actions.

Step by step, he gently walked to the front of Queen Bo's sleep, squatted down, took a puff fan from the maid next to him, and gently fanned Queen Bo who was lying on the couch asleep, and at the same time, he also paid attention to Bo's appearance.

Liu De remembered his previous life, after being accused of unfilial piety at the funeral, it was the weak woman who stood up to excuse him and now lay on the floor and slept peacefully.

is the only one who has the energy and status to exonerate Liu De.

The sentence 'Who doesn't make mistakes when he is young' relieves a lot of pressure for Liu De, and even later he was named the king of Hejian, which is also related to Bo's good words, otherwise, a prince who is accused of 'unfilial piety', where can he seal the country's establishment of society?

To be honest, Bo is actually not a beauty.

It can only be described as a mediocre posture.

There are often rumors in the court that unless it is absolutely necessary, Liu De's cheap father will never stay in the emperor's **.

Of course, none of this matters.

Back then, the Empress Dowager, whose biological mother was now holding a state funeral for Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, was not a beauty herself, but a servant in the laundry room in the palace, and she did not match the beauty at all.

When the Empress Dowager Dou was young and beautiful, she was beautiful, but unfortunately, after the age of thirty, the eyesight of her eyes gradually declined, and now she can't even see people clearly.

Therefore, in **, appearance is not the first.

The Empress Dowager gave birth to Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, so she is the Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager Dou gave birth to Liu De's cheap father Liu Qi, so even though she was almost blind in her eyes, she was still the Empress Dowager of the Han family.

And Queen Bo's biggest shortcoming and most fatal weakness is precisely that she has no children under her knees, not only is she childless, but she has not even given birth to a daughter.

This is the most fatal for the royal family, for her status as queen.

Unfilial piety has three nos, and the latter is greater.

Not being able to give birth to an heir to the Son of Heaven is her greatest original sin.

Just thinking about these things, I only heard a mutter, and the queen lying on the couch woke up slowly, and a pair of black eyes that were already red and swollen because of sadness stared at Liu De.

Liu De was a random clever, knelt down, and said, "Son Liu De asks his mother for peace!" ”

Queen Bo let out a long breath, staring at Liu De, and then her eyes shifted to the pu fan in Liu De's hand, and she suddenly felt some comfort in her heart.

I thought that with my aunt and grandmother going like this, she should be completely forgotten.

But she didn't want to, and when she woke up, she could still see a prince fanning her in front of her eyes.

Undoubtedly, this made her feel some warmth.

So, he said softly: "It's okay to mourn the family......"

"You're Su Ji's son...... Queen Bo sat up with the support of the two maids, and said, "It's really heartfelt......

"This is what Erchen should do......" Liu De said softly.

Liu De got up and saluted, and said goodbye: "When I saw that the queen mother was healthy, my son's heart was relieved. Erchen will go to the mourning hall first, and come to visit the queen mother later, and ask the queen mother to mourn and take care of her body! ”

Looking at Liu De's distant figure, Queen Bo suddenly sighed slowly: "What a good boy...... It's a pity that the mourning family doesn't have this blessing......"

Over the years, she has been working hard, but unfortunately, she has tried all kinds of methods, and her stomach is still as flat as ever.

Until now, when her aunt and grandmother were gone, she was so sad that she knew that she would never have the chance to give birth to a son and a half daughter again.

As a woman, not being able to have children is the biggest sin in itself, let alone a queen?

Therefore, she also understands that her position as queen may be moved, and if she is lucky, the emperor can arrange a garden for her to support her in the elderly, but if she is unlucky......

However, Li Xin, who was standing beside Queen Bo, suddenly said: "Shaojun, the slave maid sees that the third son of the emperor is a filial child, if the young monarch has a heart, he might as well test one or two, in case he can be accepted as a stepson, he will not be lonely in the future......"

"This ......" Over the years, Queen Bo has not thought about stepping a son to her own name, but she has tried other concubines several times, but she has been ruthlessly rejected, that is, her aunt and grandmother, the Queen Mother, are still there, and at this moment, the Queen Mother is gone, where does she still have this thought.

It's just that Li Xin's words still touched the nerves in her heart.

If you can have a son......

Once this thought took root in my heart, it immediately grew like a vine.

Although she knows that with the Empress Dowager leaving, no matter what she does, she is just drinking to quench her thirst.

But just like a drowning person, even if it is just a straw in front of him, he must hold on to it desperately.

………………………………………………………………

Note: I found a lot of information, but I didn't find how others in the Western Han Dynasty called the queen, but only found a record that ordinary people often call other people's wives Shaojun, so let's use it like this.

PS: There is another shift in the evening.

Thank you for the reward from the Burial Dragon Demon King, thank you.
