The first day of the first month of the seventh spring of Yuande (the fourth day of the first month). Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Inside the Shiqu Pavilion of Weiyang Palace, countless officials and scholars came and went, and the entire Shiqu Pavilion was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Because, today is the deadline.

Taishi ordered the yamen to calculate what day this year's beginning of spring would be?

This is a very good study of the astronomical and mathematical foundations of Taishi and the entire Han Dynasty.

Once the calculation is wrong, or the accurate time cannot be calculated in time.

This would lead to a major political accident.

I don't know how much my head is going to drop.

Therefore, everyone held their breath and stared, and they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, and the eunuchs who were ordered to come here to wait for the news also stood in front of the Shiqu Pavilion in a proper manner, letting the cold wind blow on them, and they didn't dare to move.

Finally, the door of Shiqu Pavilion opened, and Taishi Ling Sima Tan stepped out, holding a silk book in his hand, and said loudly: "Minister Taishi Lingtan, I would like to play Your Majesty: the age is in Jiawu, Bingzi Lichun, Shengde Jianmu!" ”

The eunuchs finally breathed a sigh of relief, took the silk book in Sima Tan's hand, and immediately held the silk book and rushed towards the Xuanshu Palace.

Along the way, while running, he shouted: "Taishi Lingchen talks about playing Your Majesty: the year is in the first day, the spring of Bingzi is born, and Shengde Jianmu!" ”

As a result, the entire Weiyang Palace learned the news.

Immediately, the eunuchs and palace maids of the entire Weiyang Palace, and even the concubines, princes, and princesses of the queen and palace began to walk out of the door and stood quietly outside the palace, waiting for orders.

Soon after, the silk book arrived in the Xuanshu Hall and was presented to Liu Che.

As soon as Liu Che opened it, he immediately picked up the pen and commented on this silk book: The one who is alive is also heavenly; Those who cultivate it are also people. Those who can raise the birth of heaven and do not pick up the son of heaven are called the Son of Heaven. The movement of the Son of Heaven is also the deceased of the whole day. I am the king of the world, the parents of the people, when fasting and bathing, plain clothes to welcome spring, his order to the county, worship the mountains, rivers and forests, sacrifice do not be, prohibit logging, hunting, no nesting!

Then, Shang Shu Ling Ji Di announced this instruction in public.

Zhou Yafu took hundreds of civil and military officials, and they all bowed: "The ministers all think that Your Majesty should choose the first day to pray to God, choose the first day, personally carry the old man, and the queen is pro-mulberry, so as to show the will of His Majesty to pay attention to agriculture!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Che replied slightly.

With this order, the entire Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace immediately fell into a busy situation.

One by one, the silkworm rooms were cleaned, and up and down, they began to immerse themselves in the joy of labor.

The happiest is none other than Queen Chen Ajiao.

She almost happily took her maid eunuch to clean up the silkworm room of the Shufang Palace.

Then, looking at the dustpans being placed neatly, my heart was full of anticipation.

Silkworm babies, such cute and silly creatures, will soon be brought to this Shufang Palace, and then, they will slowly grow up, spin silk cocoons, and finally be woven into beautiful clothes and skirts.

Well......

When the time comes, knit a beautiful robe for the emperor's husband!

As soon as she thought of this, a happy smile appeared on Chen Ajiao's face.

However, Guan Tao was next to him, and his face was a little melancholy.

The queen is growing up, but menarche is still delayed.

This is a big problem!

The only good news is that the emperor doesn't seem to care, but after learning about this, he pampers and pities the queen even more, and even ordered: There are people who dare to spread this! The matter was strictly locked in this Shufang Palace.

But......

This made Guan Tao worried.

Because, she knows very well that in the palace, whether the queen's position is stable or not has nothing to do with the queen's favor.

A queen who is not fertile and basically cannot sit in a stable position.

Now, Chen Ajiao's position as the queen can be as stable as Mount Tai, and in fact, she has nothing to do with the emperor.

It's just because the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are the most powerful backers behind the queen.

Especially the Empress Dowager Bo, who almost regarded Chen Ajiao as a projection of herself.

Otherwise, inside and outside this palace, I'm afraid it would have turned the sky upside down long ago!

The queen has been married to the Son of Heaven for five years, and she doesn't even have a princess?

I'm afraid that the scholars and nobles of the foreign dynasty have already jumped to their feet!

Even so, there are already some voices of discussion in the government and the opposition.

There are even Confucian scholars who chew their tongues quietly in private, saying something 'The mother is more expensive than the son, and the righteous lady Derong Zhaoyao can be the master of the Changqiu Palace'.

As for the courtiers, they want to be the ministers of the dragon and make a meritorious contribution to the establishment, such as the carp that crosses the river.

Now, it is just a matter of the Son of Heaven's favor of the Queen, as everyone knows, the second is that the Son of Heaven has not expressed his position so far, and the third is that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager of the East Palace are still there.

Otherwise, these guys would have jumped up a long time ago!

Judging from Guantao's rich political experience, despite this resistance, as time passed, the empress was unable to give birth to a prince.

At that time, the speculators of the government and the opposition will certainly no longer be able to bear it.

As for those important ministers who claim to be loyal to the country and pillars of society, they will continue to mobilize.

Anyway, these people don't bother to care about the relationship between your emperor and empress or the thoughts of the East Palace!

They just want the prince!

But Chen Ajiao doesn't understand these things at all, she is just an innocent little girl, happy and smiling all day long, never thinking about or worrying about these things.

The emperor spoiled her too much!

And last year, the concubines who were sent to the palace to be the queen's dowry, now it seems that they can't be counted on.

These little hooves entered the palace, and they all had thoughts.

I don't even listen to her much anymore.

Thinking of this, Guan Tao also sighed deeply.

Chen Ajiao turned her head, looked at her mother, and said with a smile: "Why is my mother sighing? Wait for the emperor's husband to come, don't let him see this, the emperor doesn't like Gillian to be unhappy......"

"......" Guantao barely squeezed out a smile.

At the moment, she would rather her daughter be less pampered by the emperor.

That way, at least, she can see her situation clearly.

What a pity!

The emperor is not clear, but one thing is certain—he will do what he says!

Back then, the emperor once made a promise in front of her to 'hide the beauty of the golden house'.

Nowadays, although it is far from the luxury of using gold as a house and pearl and jade as a curtain.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that his kindness to the queen is indeed sincere, and he cares for it like a treasure.

So much so that inside and outside the court, no matter how favored the other concubines were, they didn't dare to think of parting ways with the queen.

But Guantao understands very well, what kind of creature is a man? Especially the men of the old Liu family!

Since Emperor Gao, there has not been a single person who is infatuated!

Even if the current emperor is very doting on Chen Ajiao on the surface, but in fact, he is ...... Since this thing ascended the throne, there have been dozens of women in the harem......

………………………………

Liu Che didn't know Guan Tao's worries, and even if he knew, he didn't want to pay attention to it.

The affairs of the palace can still be dragged on now, after all, until now, he does not know which son is really in line with his wishes and can be qualified to inherit this huge ancient empire.

Therefore, Chen Ajiao's existence is a buffer, which can effectively prevent the infighting in the imperial court and the struggle between the sons and relatives.

Of course, this problem will have to be faced sooner or later.

But certainly not now, not even in this decade.

So, just drag it out.

For Liu Che, he is now more concerned about the great cause of reunification!

Since Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, went to Chang'an, and Zhao Hu, who ascended the throne, also wholeheartedly implemented the policy of integrating with the Han, the culture and systems of the Han family and the laws gradually began to be implemented in Nanyue.

Today, Pan Yu still controls the civil and military affairs of South Vietnam.

However, the influence of the central Han family also penetrated into it.

Since last year, South Vietnam has handed over the appointment and dismissal power of local county guards and county orders to Chang'an, and its national officials above 1,000 stone basically began to be recommended by Panyu, and then Chang'an confirmed.

The nobles and children of scholars and doctors of the Nanyue Kingdom also began to come to Chang'an to participate in the examination.

In this way, on the map alone, the Minyue Kingdom, which maintains a semi-secessed state, is particularly dazzling.

Therefore, after the next dynasty, Liu Che prepared to fast and bathe in preparation for the Spring Festival, and on the other hand, let people sort out the intelligence and information of the Minyue Kingdom in recent years.

By evening, all kinds of information about the current situation and situation of the Minyue Kingdom had been placed in front of Liu Che.

After reading these materials, Liu Che already had an understanding of the current situation in Minyue.

At present, there are three main forces in the Minyue Kingdom.

The strongest is naturally the Luo clan of the royal family.

The current Minyue Luo Yue, since his accession to the throne, has made great efforts to make the country prosperous, immersed himself in farming, and has received the dividends of China's industrial and commercial prosperity, the commodities and specialties of the Minyue country, the marketing of Wu Chu Huaisi, China's cheap iron tools and salt have also made the life of the people of Minyue more relaxed.

As a result, the royal family also flourished, and it had a crushing advantage over the other two factions.

But the problem of the royal family is that its lord Luo Yue is getting older, and the struggle within the royal family is becoming more and more intense.

In particular, his royal son Luo Ying has been in Chang'an, because the royal family in his country does not have a core to rely on, so they go their own way.

Among them, Luo Ying's younger brothers even jumped up and down, contacting Xiang Jun, Yue Jun and other powerful factions to collude with each other.

In addition to the royal family, the second most powerful faction is those local powerful factions between the Min River.

In the past, these people once gave the Qin Dynasty a headache and were helpless.

It is really these Yue people, who live between the mountains and rivers, in a dangerous place.

Moreover, if the poor get rid of the scum and send the army to fight, one will not outweigh the losses, and the other may not be able to hit others......

And the nobles and leaders of these tribes, most of whom have no culture, submit to the Luo family only because of habits and traditions - in the past thousand years, the Baiyue tribes have become accustomed to submitting to the Goujian bloodline.

But the strength of this surrender is very limited.

In general, these tribes, like separatist forces, can wave their flags and shout for Changzhi (Minyue Capital), and even send troops to help fight, but it is difficult for Changzhi's hand to reach into their interior.

And the existence of these tribes is also because Liu Che and the Han family are currently jealous of Minyue.

Most of these people don't even know that there is a Han Dynasty as a country!

They believe in witch gods and claim that their ancestors are Emperor Yu and King Goujian.

I don't want to pay attention to Chang'an at all, I just want to live my own small life.

And because of their ignorance and primitiveness, many tribes have even maintained the habit of tattooing and drinking blood to this day.

At this point, if you are in the middle and lower reaches of the Min River, you may even suspect that you are not in China, but in the Amazon jungle......

As for the third force, it is also the weakest force, which is the pro-Han faction or Zhuxia faction that has always made Liu Che have confidence in Minyue.

These people were led by the Yue Yanhou family, the Wu Yanghou family, and several civil and official forces in the Minyue court.

But unfortunately, basically, their influence is only in the vicinity of Donghai County and Jiangdu Kingdom, and they cannot play a decisive role.

After thinking for a while, Liu Che asked, "Now, how is the study and living situation of the Minyue Shizi?" ”

Ji Di next to him replied: "Back to Your Majesty, now Luo Ying, the son of Minyue, has worshiped Yan Ju, the doctor of the 800-stone "Book of Filial Piety", as his teacher, and also married the daughter of his teacher as his wife. ”

Liu Che nodded when he heard this, initially, Liu Che put Luo Ying in Shanglin Yuan to educate, and released him from Shanglin Yuan two years ago and let Yan Ju accept him as a disciple.

Yan Ju is a scholar of the Chu Poetry School, studying under Shen Gong, regardless of the other aspects, this morality, learning and character, that is really a real gentleman!

Now, if he marries a daughter to Luo Ying, it must be Luo Ying's favor!

After thinking for a moment, Liu Che said: "Tell Xiuyiwei that I want the king of Minyue!" ”

Today's Minyue King Luo Yue is indeed a talent, and his governance completely copied the ideas of the old Huang school in China.

At the same time, blacksmiths were vigorously encouraged and trained, and according to the preferences of the Chinese aristocracy, emphasis was placed on the development of the sword-casting industry.

As a result, the sword cast by Minyue was sold all over the world.

Now, when the scholars and nobles go out, they don't have a sword forged by a famous Minyue craftsman on their waists, and the force drops by half in an instant!

As a result, although the Minyue Kingdom was hit by the five-baht money of the Han dynasty and cheap salt and iron.

However, its domestic economy has not collapsed.

On the contrary, with the opportunity of the take-off of Han industry and commerce and the convenience of the common market between Mitsukoshi and the Han Dynasty, the handicraft industry and agriculture of Minyue were greatly developed.

Liu Che even heard that he began to study China near Changzhi, built ditches and installed water wheels.

However, this is just a copycat of Chinese things.

But behind closed doors, he told those Baiyue tribes that these things were his inventions.

The wolf's ambition has been revealed.

If it weren't for the fact that in the past few years, Liu Che and the Han family's energy has been in the north, it would never have been possible for him to be free until now.

But he can only get away with it until now.

Whether it's assassination, assassination, or poisoning, there is always a way for the embroidered guard to let him die.
