The stars are changing, and the most lively Shangyuan Festival has quietly passed. Chang'an has returned to its former tranquility, and before you know it, it has reached the end of the month. The Minyue envoys who stayed in Chang'an were summoned by Liu Bang again, and it was also the last summons. After that, the royal family instructed the officials to bring the envoys the specialties of Chang'an and some ironware, rice wine and silk products from the Central Plains, and brought a reply from the emperor, and Liu Bang instructed Chen Ping and Zhou Bo to send the envoys out of the bridge.

After the prince took the cloth that Liu Jing gave him, he opened it the next day, and it turned out to be Liu Lu's worry, and the words 'all parents' were written. Such three words made Liu Ying doubt that Liu Lu had always joined the Huns. So when he was worshipping Queen Lu, Liu Ying knocked on the side and asked about Liu Lu's family. Empress Lu was puzzled that the prince suddenly asked about Liu Lu, her eyes blinked unconsciously, and she continued to tease Liu Chang who was holding her in her arms, saying that she didn't know Liu Lu's family situation, and asked the prince what he was doing to ask Liu Lu, Liu Ying shook her head, saying that she suddenly remembered it recently, and Empress Lu also didn't pay attention to it on a whim when the prince didn't pay attention to it.

After that, Liu Ying privately inquired about Liu Lu's home, and the person who came reported that since Liu Lu entered the Huns, there were seven or eight strange households around the house, and after inquiry, they were not locals, saying that these people moved in the next day after the Liu family was sealed. Liu Ying understood why Liu Lu said that he was 'all parents', these people were either sent by Empress Lu or sent by the emperor, Liu Lu herself was not a real princess, and she married the Xiongnu Shan Yu originally resentful, afraid that she would regret it, so the royal family controlled her family. Liu Ying has often boarded the Lone Star Platform to look in the direction of the Xiongnu in the north, praying every day that Liu Lu will live well in the Xiongnu, hoping that Luan Sha Ling'er can take care of Liu Lu more, as for her family, it will probably be fine, as long as the news of Liu Lu's rebellion does not come from the Xiongnu, her family is harmless.

Recently, there has been news from the border pass of Daidi, saying that Mao Dun led the troops to defeat the Wuhuan tribe that was about to make a comeback, and there were many small groups of cavalry to invade the border of Daidi, Chen Feng and the king of Yanmen County jointly repelled the invading Hun soldiers several times, Liu Bang was not happy, and was always worried about the harassment of the Xiongnu on the border. Fan Xu also sent news that when he inspected Zhao State, Zhao State fell into a state of ownerlessness, the royal family was empty, and the throne was waiting to be added, so he asked the emperor to quickly add a Zhao king, otherwise the Xiongnu might suddenly attack while Zhao was ownerless.

Liu Bang's heart has increased again, who should be the king of Zhao? The discussion with the minister a few days ago did not come up with a good explanation. I happened to hear that Mrs. Guan was sick, so Liu Bang first put down his troubles and went to Linhua Hall to visit Mrs. Guan, Mrs. Guan muttered a few words about her younger brother from time to time on the couch, always inadvertently made Liu Bang's face full of apologies, and then did not say a word. Seeing that Liu Bang was silent and didn't like to listen to her nagging about her younger brother, Mrs. Guan stopped continuing the topic, and Liu Bang had the mood to speak again, and told Mrs. Guan to pay attention to her body from time to time. Mrs. Guan accepted Liu Bang's instructions and concern with a smile, and I don't know where she heard that Fan Hao urged the emperor to add a new King Zhao, so she got up and took advantage of the situation to coquettish Liu Bang and said, "The concubine must be a prince in her belly, why doesn't Your Majesty leave the throne of Zhao to the prince of the concubine?" ”

Liu Bang raised his eyebrows, was stunned and smiled, "You asked the entire people of Zhao to wait for the baby in your womb to be the king?" I'm afraid that Zhao State may not exist at that time. Mrs. Guan pouted, thinking that the emperor was laughing at her, so her face turned black and unhappy, and she turned her body aside and ignored Liu Bang. Liu Bang also has a lot of government affairs, but it is a good thing for her to ignore it, so she is relaxed and quiet, and ordered the palace people to take care of her and get up and leave. Liu Bangfang had not yet come down the steps when he came out of the palace gate, but Mrs. Guan hurriedly turned around and complained about him, and complained loudly to the outside of the hall, "You are only busy, if the baby in the womb is born, you don't have to come to see him, just one wishful will surround you is the best." Liu Bang smiled silently, knowing that Mrs. Guan was complaining, and knowing how capable she was, he shook his head and walked away.

When he arrived at the front hall, Xiao He came to report that the powerful clans in the Kanto region had recently had a new development, and a large number of people came to Chang'an. Liu Bang said yes, and let Xiao He deal with the migration incident alone. Xiahou Ying, Marquis of Ruyin, also said that more than 200 cattle and horses had been prepared, and they would be sent to the northern border of Shangjun and Beidi County on the same day. Liu Bang said that the Han and Hungarian customs markets have been opened, and the people on the border can also communicate with each other, and set up horse gardens to raise horses at the border, which can also enrich the border, bring peace and stability for many years, and prosper the border economy; second, it can also put pressure on the Xiongnu; Third, you can become a cavalry at any time and go into battle. Chen Ping played, "part of the porcelain and pottery fired in Longxi were transported to the palace, and the remaining small amount was sold to the vassal states, only to get a little financial resources, the countries originally developed these handicrafts, there is no need to buy royal things, so the financial resources distributed to the people are less, and another reason is that there is no unified currency, the vassal states still use their own currency, and the currency of other countries is extremely inconvenient, obviously there is unequal mutual trade. ”

Xiao He agreed very much with Chen Ping's statement. Of course, Liu Bang also agreed, the official must not be forcibly inserted into the local economy, and the currencies of various countries are not the same, and the circulation will certainly cause a lot of disputes, misunderstandings and troubles, but seeing that Qin Shi Huang's unified currency is not complete, and then look at the domestic situation, Liu Bang said, "At present, the focus is on recuperation and economic development, and the conditions for reunifying the currency are not ripe. He paced in the hall and pondered for a moment, saying, "Aren't there many wealthy merchants in Kanto? Add them to Longxi County to help alleviate the low economy there, but they are not allowed to merge these workshops casually, prevent them from becoming bigger, and use financial resources to annex local homesteaders. Chen Ping and Xiao He also agreed with the emperor's statement.

The two of them exited the front hall, and a eunuch and Xiao Chen passed shoulders and ran over, holding a scroll of silk silk in his hand and saying that it was the prince's book, Liu Bang was slightly flustered, and the prince rarely wrote a recital, so he was also curious and immediately opened it to take a look, and went to the clouds, "...... The minister is willing to share His Majesty's worries and go out of the palace to inspect the water conservancy" Liu Bang put together the silk silk, squinted his eyes and thought as he walked, the prince himself had a good idea, but Liu Bang also had other ideas. Nowadays, Mrs. Qi often asks Liu Bang to remove the prince and support Ruyi, so the prince does not help Ruyi's support by doing this, and the ministers cannot only see the prince's goodness, so Liu Bang did not approve the prince's letter.

On this day, Liu Bang went to Changxin Palace to see Liu Chang. Empress Lu had already heard that his son was going out of the palace to inspect the water conservancy, so he asked the emperor what he thought, Liu Bang hugged Liu Chang and played with him, and said to Lv Hou, "Each county has a river embankment advisor and a river embankment captain, and the officials of each county have the responsibility of defending the river embankment, and there are thousands of full-time personnel guarding the river embankment. The prince is young, so he doesn't need to think about it, and he doesn't understand water conservancy. ”

Empress Lu felt that what the emperor said was reasonable, and the prince had an empty heart and no water conservancy major, so he did not force the prince. Empress Lu looked outside the hall, a bright day, now it is the middle of February, not far from the beginning of spring, remembering the month ago invited all the concubines to gather in the Xuanyuan Hall to discuss silkworms, Lv Hou said to the emperor, "Now February is coming to an end, and the beginning of March is coming." Thinking of the drought in Guanzhong last year and the bad harvest, the concubine thought about it alone, and held a silkworm ceremony in the spring, and the concubine was the queen for several years and never held a decent ceremony. ”

Liu Bang readily agreed to Empress Lu after a little contemplation, and said with a smile, "It is an ancient theorem that the queen is pro-silkworm in the northern suburbs, and the emperor pro-ploughs the southern suburbs. Let's hold an auspicious day for spring divination, and if I have time, I will also lead hundreds of officials to plough the southern suburbs. ”

Lu Hou nodded, teased Liu Chang with Liu Bang, and laughed together.
