Midsummer afternoon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The scorching sun shone on the palace complex of Weiyang Palace, and it was a little hot.

Standing at the door of a palace, Liu Che took Xiao Chengcheng's hand and waited quietly.

Suddenly, a cry broke the peace in the palace.

Liu Che immediately stood up and stepped forward.

The two midwives pushed open the door of the hall and presented a child who was wrapped in swaddling clothes and crying incessantly to Liu Che, and congratulated: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Madame has given birth to a prince for Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Che glanced down at the clown who was babbling and crying in swaddling clothes, smiled slightly, clapped his palms, and said to the left and right: "Reward!" ”

Then, he picked up the little orange and walked into the palace.

After giving birth, Xia Rouge struggled weakly to get up, Liu Che hurriedly walked over, held her hand, stroked her pale cheek and said, "Concubine Ai has worked hard......"

The little prince who had just been born was also held by the wet nurse and put at the head of Xia Rouge's bed, snuggled tightly with his mother, and suddenly quieted down and fell asleep.

Liu Che looked at his son, his third son.

At the same time, he is also the third prince of the empire.

The look in his eyes was so uncertain that he didn't give him a name, as usual, and didn't even think about it.

Because he knew that the timing of this kid's birth was too sensitive.

Before this year, a prince with Xiongnu blood would never have the opportunity to covet that throne in his eternal life.

But after this year, everything will change.

And the timing of his birth is even more subtle.

It was born at the time of this Han-Hungarian decisive hand!

Liu Che didn't know if this was the will of heaven in the dark or the inevitability of chance.

But he knew that this son carried great political expectations as soon as he landed.

He has the blood of both the Xiongnu royal family and the Han royal family, at this time, at this delicate moment.

Liu Che had no doubt that when the news of the birth of this son spread all over the world and spread to the grassland.

There will be countless people who see him as hope, as the future, as the master, and even as everything and the ultimate destination!

There will definitely be many, many people, wishing he was going to die immediately!

This is the luck and misfortune of being born into the royal family.

As many people love you, there will be as many people as they hate you.

Unless you ascend to that supreme throne, the balance between the two will never be broken.

And this kid's special identity and special bloodline make everything he carries more subtle.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Che said slightly: "I was born in Nangong this time, and there is a scorching sun in the sky, and his name is called: Yang ......"

"Your Majesty bestows the emperor's third son with the sun!" Immediately, a eunuch shouted, and the historian kneeling at the door also immediately wrote hard and recorded on a blank piece of paper: The third son of the emperor was born in the south hall of Weiyang Palace in the summer of June of the sixth year of Yuande, and the name was given: Yang.

Liu Che stretched out his hand slightly, picked up his son, and then, holding him slowly, walked out of the palace gate, and said to the attendants, eunuchs and scholars outside the palace: "I am very happy to have a son today, thinking of the work of the world's fathers, and giving the world's fathers a knight!" ”

And everyone was stunned, and then they bowed one after another: "The ministers are respectfully edicted!" ”

It's just that......

The doubts in the hearts of countless people are growing like vines.

So far, there are three sons.

And even if the eldest son of the emperor was born, he was not seen like this.

Why is the third son of the emperor special?

More importantly, the emperor was very happy to give birth to a son, so he gave the title of father to the world.

This has only happened twice in the history of the Han Dynasty.

For the first time, Emperor Gao appointed his eldest son Liu Ying as the crown prince.

For the second time, the first emperor made Jinshang the prince.

Other than that, there is no precedent.

Does this mean that today's son wants to use the third son of the emperor as the prince?

Nobody knows!

But everyone knows that this peaceful harem will be turbulent from now on, and even swords and swords.

And the court, I'm afraid it's going to explode.

But, who would dare not carry out the orders of the Son of Heaven?

And it's such an edict!

So, half an hour later, dozens of horses flew out of the palace and went to various yamen in Chang'an to convey the edict.

Then, this edict first appeared in the streets and alleys of Chang'an.

At this time, just as the examination was about to begin, tens of thousands of scholars gathered in Chang'an City, and naturally, this edict immediately set off an uproar.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" Countless people read and talked about it.

Even the scholars of the Legalist and Mo families frowned.

Because a newborn prince is still a prince with Yidi blood, the Son of Heaven wants to give the people of the world a lord?

Could it be that His Majesty wants to canonize this son as the prince?

Is this still worth it?

The grumpy ram pie blew up on the spot.

"Daji, the disaster of praise, Yin Jian is ahead!" The impassioned young man raised his arms and shouted: "Such a chaotic life, the princes of the court should admonish it!" ”

There are even more ill-intentioned people who arch the fire in it: "The chief monarch of the country, the eldest son of the emperor, both civil and military, both ability and political integrity, should be established as the prince!" ”

And when the three princes and nine kings and two thousand stones who were resting at home heard this, none of them could sit still.

For today's Han Empire, military and internal affairs have basically reached or even surpassed the peak of history.

The fact that the prince has not been established alone has made countless people feel like they have been clawed by cats.

Without a crown prince, for the traditional Chinese aristocracy and scholars, the state is incomplete.

And for the giants of the hundred schools of thought, the absence of a prince means that they do not have a person who can be brainwashed and attracted.

It is uncomfortably tight, too.

And now, these people are all scared to death by this suspected signal of Lichu.

For them, the only qualified person who is now a prince is the son of a righteous concubine.

He is the eldest son of the emperor, in line with national traditions and social norms.

Moreover, his mother was born in a first-class class - Hedong Yishi, and she was also a local powerful and scholarly family.

His cousin, the general of the Che Cavalry, Dong Chenghou, is a general with great achievements, holding heavy troops, and has a relationship with the prime minister and many princes.

Except for the eldest son of the emperor, the other princes now do not have the qualifications to become princes.

As for the son of Mrs. Xia, he must never become a prince.

So, everyone immediately joined forces in the palace.

Liu Che naturally knew that they would come to trouble him.

However, the ministers and nobles obviously reacted too slowly.

Because, at this moment, Liu Che has been called to the East Palace.

The Empress Dowager Dou and the Empress Dowager Bo were both sitting upright, their faces angry.

"Emperor! The mourning family heard that you issued an edict today to give the people of the world because of the death of the emperor's third son? Empress Dowager Dou asked angrily, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Lichu, this is to be nodded and agreed by the East Palace, and the edict can be legal and accepted by the world.

Since Taizong, the society has established reserves, and this is the case.

Although Empress Dowager Dou has completely stopped interfering in politics, she has to take care of this matter.

Whether it's for the sake of face or for the sake of the world.

Liu Che smiled slightly, and said respectfully: "Imperial grandmother, please take a break from the anger of the thunder and listen to the explanation of the grandson......

"Grandson, this is not a ...... of the prince" he said respectfully: "It's for the sake of the community, for the people of the world!" ”

"This is the art of war: the strategy of surrendering without a fight!"

"Please believe that the grandmother of the emperor will not be a prince now...... If you want to become a prince, you will ask the emperor's grandmother and queen mother......" he bowed.

In fact, the same is true.

This is the countermeasure that Liu Che has been thinking about and considering in the past few days when Xia Rouge is on the plate.

Once she gave birth to a prince, Liu Che would use this strategy.

This was a conspiracy to facilitate the Han family's future recovery and domination of the grasslands.

Xia Rouge - she is a 100% pure Xiongnu clan, the daughter of a military minister, and a product of the Han-Hungarian and pro-policy policies.

The heir she gave birth to, if it was in the past, it must be that grandma didn't hurt and grandpa didn't love, and was destined to be the most unknown person in the palace.

But now, at the moment when the Han family is about to begin to pass through the grassland and rule the world, the birth of this son has become a signboard, a memorial arch, and an excuse to bewitch and fool the Huns.

Since the prince of Han also has the blood of the Xiongnu royal family.

Then a hair?

The Han and Hungarian families are pro!

It may be of no use to those diehards, the newborn prince and the so-called future 'Han Prince'.

But for others, especially the soy sauce party and neutrals, who account for the vast majority, the role of this prince is better than that of a hundred thousand troops!

Liu Che is sure that with this signboard, the stability of the south of the Munan and the stability of order are just around the corner.

Especially now.

Suppose Yu Shan died.

Then, Liu Che's son has really become the first heir in line to the throne of the Xiongnu Empire!

The real clan, even a military minister, can't help but recognize his status!

Under the premise that the uncles are dead, the nephew inherits the status and property of his maternal grandfather, which is absolutely right for both Han and Hungarian!

Not to mention, now under the rule of the Han Dynasty, there are a large number of Xiongnu prisoners of war and the Toucheng tribe.

With this signboard, the centripetal force and cohesion of these people to the Han family will inevitably increase.

Of course, this decision will definitely trigger a backlash and discussion within the Han family.

But it doesn't matter, Liu Che can completely control the scene now.

As for the future, we will solve it in the future.

The world is so big, there is always room for a few ambitious sons.

……………………………………

On the same day, the ministers entered the palace and talked with Liu Che all night in the Xuanshu Palace.

At dawn on the second day, he left the palace.

Countless people are full of troubles, but many more people are itching.

Everyone knows that from today onwards, the battle for the heir has begun.

This time, who will win will directly determine the trend of the empire for the next hundred years.

Speculators are gearing up, and everyone wants to bet.

I just don't know if it's time to end now? Or wait and see?

………………………………………………

As soon as he sent off the ministers, Liu Che received a report: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess asks to see ......"

When Liu Che heard this, his head suddenly became bigger.

This is also a constant concern.

This mother-in-law and aunt of mine is a good person!

Liu Che could guess with her ass, what did she want to do when she entered the palace?

But I had to see it.

Otherwise, God knows if this princess of the Pavilion Tao will come up with some moths.

You must know that although Guantao has stopped doing politics in the past two years.

But she put all the time and energy she freed up on urging her grandson.

If she can't hold her grandson for a day, she won't be at peace for a day.

Liu Che couldn't do anything about her.

I had to sigh: "Please!" ”

Not long after "Your Majesty's ......", the figure of Guan Tao appeared in Liu Che's sight, and what surprised Liu Che was that there were six graceful girls dressed in flowers and branches and graceful figures who entered the palace with her.

To Liu Che's surprise, Guan Tao's face was very good today, and he didn't seem to be angry, let alone angry.

She took Liu Che's hand, walked up to the six girls, and introduced: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the concubine selected by my aunt in the family of the relatives who are waiting in the hall and the princes who have a good relationship with the aunt, and give the queen as a concubine to marry......"

When Liu Che heard this, he immediately understood what she meant.

This woman is going crazy if she wants an eldest prince!

She actually used this trick!

Concubine Teng!

It seems that it is quite etiquette.

The concubine system has always prevailed between the court and the nobility, and when a daughter marries, her sister, cousin, and cousin are all married.

The status of Concubine Teng, in the family, is attached to the wife.

Once, the main wife dies or cannot have children, Concubine Teng can ascend to the throne.

And between the royal family and the princes and kings, the status of Concubine Teng is dependent on the queen.

The children born to them can basically be regarded as born to the empress - if the empress has no children, she can directly inherit them with the emperor's approval.

At the beginning, Liu Che won to marry Chen Ajiao, and Guantao may have been out of some consideration and did not marry Concubine Teng.

But now, she finally couldn't help it and resorted to this trick.

And Liu Che knows why.

This year, Chen Ajiao has turned 14, but she has been delaying her menarche.

Obviously, this is not good, very bad!

Although few people know about this matter, very little.

But, the museum pottery is clear.

Moreover, she is also very clear about the curse of the Han royal family.

In particular, Empress Dowager Bo is still alive now.

It's a reminder to everyone in this palace!

When Liu Che saw it, he also sighed and said, "Since my aunt is kind, I naturally don't dare to disobey ......."

As he spoke, he ordered the six women to be sent to the queen's palace.

If these women can give birth to a prince in the future, perhaps, Chen Ajiao's tragedy can be avoided.

But Liu Che knows better that this is probably just his beautiful vision.

There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords on the earth.

An emperor can only have one queen, and if the queen can't give birth to a son, resulting in the fall of the crown prince, the future of this queen can be imagined.

After all, like Empress Dowager Bo, you can pick up an example of the succession of a prince, and there are few cases in the history books.

But what can he do?

This is Weiyang Palace.

There has never been a warm vein here, there is no you and me, love and love - of course, in history, when Yuan Cheng was born, there was such a warm vein, such a you and me.

But the ending, everyone has seen it.

Behind the story of the Han family Feiyan is the tragedy of the two princes who died without even opening their eyes.

It was the beginning of the death knell of this empire.

Therefore, the heavenly family has been invited since ancient times.

If there is love in the sky, the sky will be old! (To be continued.) )
