Prime Minister Shen Tujia and the ministers were discussing ways to deal with the crime of Chao Wrongdoing, and finally Shen Tujia said: "What Ting Lieutenant Zhang Ou said is very reasonable, tomorrow morning I will ask the emperor to kill Chao Wrong with these mistakes, so as to reduce the danger of the society."

"The prime minister did the right thing, we will all support the prime minister, and the society is finally about to be safe. The ministers chimed in.

The conversation of the ministers was inadvertently heard by a person outside the door, and he was very surprised, because he had always had a good relationship with Chao Cuo, so he did not wait for the ministers to disperse, and secretly ran to the Inner History Mansion to inform Chao Cuo, Chao Cuo was very afraid, so he felt that Liu Qi Hall in Weiyang Palace overnight.

Seeing Liu Qi hurriedly kowtowed, he hurriedly kowtowed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Liu Qi was very surprised when he saw Chao Cuo coming to see him in the middle of the night and said, "The teacher doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

"The minister is guilty and does not dare to rise. ”

"Oh, the teacher is the pillar of the country, what a sin. ”

"The south gate of the minister's internal history mansion moved the temple of the emperor, and the minister is guilty of death. ”

"What's the matter, the teacher still stands up and speaks, and I will forgive you for your innocence. ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. Chao Cuo then got up and told the story of the matter.

After hearing this, Liu Qi smiled and said: "Hahaha, Shen Tujia, these old fools, they really have nothing to do, the teacher is not a matter, I will excuse you." ”

"Emperor Xie, the minister retired. Chao Cuo withdrew from Weiyang Palace with satisfaction.

The next morning, the bells and drums rang in unison, and after the ministers finished their salutes to the emperor Liu Qi, the confessor shouted: "There is something to play, nothing to retreat." ”

"Chen Shen Tujia has something to do, Your Majesty. Shen Tujia took a few steps forward and said.

"What's the matter with Shen Aiqing?"

"Chao Cuo in the Inner History Mansion dug open the wall of the Taishang Emperor's Temple without authorization to make a door, committed the crime of great disrespect, and asked His Majesty to hand him over to the court lieutenant for questioning, and the details are in the minister's recital. ”

"Present it. ”

The confessor hurriedly took the fold from Shen Tujia's hand, trotted and handed it to the emperor Liu Qi, Liu Qi pretended to look at it carefully and said: "As far as I know, the wall that Chao Aiqing chiseled is not the wall of the Taishang Emperor's Temple, but the wall in the open space outside the temple, so as not to violate the law, Shen Aiqing made a mistake." ”

Before other ministers could agree with the emperor Liu Qi and come to a conclusion, Shen Tujia only stammered and said: "The minister may have made a mistake, please forgive your majesty." ”

"Shen Aiqing's performance is also for the country's society, what a crime, hahaha. Liu Qi also laughed with satisfaction, looked at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military affairs, and then said, "Do you have anything else to do, let's disperse if there is nothing to do." ”

"Your Majesty. ”

Liu Qi retreated satisfied, Chao Cuo wiped his sweat and quietly withdrew from the palace, Shen Tujia couldn't figure it out when he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and said to himself: "The old man should first kill Chao Cuo for this crime and then play the emperor, who knows that this time the news was leaked, so that Chao Cuo escaped death, it is really a nest." ”

The more Shen Tujia thought about it, the more angry he became, the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, coupled with his old age and frailty, he died in a week and crashed into the prime minister's mansion.

The ministers lost such a veteran of the three dynasties to take the lead, and they did not have the strength to impeach Chao Cuo again, the emperor Liu Qi knew that Prime Minister Shen Tujia saw his mother Empress Dowager Dou immediately after his death, and the Empress Dowager Dou said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Prime Minister Shen Tujia has bombarded, the country cannot be without a prime minister for a day, who do you plan to succeed?"

"Mother, Empress Dowager, I want to let the imperial historian Tao Qing succeed to the position of prime minister, and then mistakenly appoint the imperial historian, what does my mother think?"

"Tao Qing is an honest man, and he can be the prime minister, but I have heard rumors recently that I have always given the emperor some idea to cut the domain, and the emperor should be worried, listen to the opinions of other ministers, don't just listen to him and make a mistake." ”

The child understands that the advice put forward by the teacher is also for the long-term stability of the society, and the other ministers who have not pursued it are just a little jealous of Chao Aiqing's talent. ”

"No, it's better for the emperor to listen to the opinions of the ministers, otherwise the policies implemented will be biased. ”

"Yes, Erchen knows. ”

The personnel arrangements discussed by the emperor and his mother, the Empress Dowager Dou, were promulgated, and Chao Cuo felt more beautiful in his heart, and he wanted to contribute more and more to the eternal stability of the Han River, Mountains and Societies, and contribute his life's energy.

The annual Shangsi Festival has arrived, the so-called Shangsi Festival was formed in the late Spring and Autumn Period, in the early March of the lunar calendar every year, there are three kinds of customs of the Shangsi Festival, one is to hold a sacrificial ceremony at the water's edge, and to bathe in the water to purify [fú] in addition to the stains and filth of the past year, called 祓 [fú] or 禊 [xì]; The process of growing up to withering, so in the early spring of the Shangsi Festival to summon the spirit; the third is spring play, young men and women go to the wild to play, and freely choose a mate or mate.

As the palace of the Han Dynasty, the Shangsi Festival is naturally indispensable, except that all the personnel in the palace go to the Wei River to receive the emperor's sprinkler blessings. Bathing in the water of the Wei River, all the kings of the feudal kingdom all came to Chang'an to make a pilgrimage to the emperor, especially the emperor's younger brother Liu Wu of Liang was treated with unusual courtesy, at this time of year, the emperor Liu Qi sent a messenger to take the rune to drive the emperor's carriage to Hangu Pass more than 100 kilometers away from Chang'an to meet the king of Liang, the king of Liang is the elder brother Liu Qi who is illustrious and majestic, and the Empress Dowager Dou sits in the hall in the Changle Palace, and his most beloved youngest son Liu Wu of Liang walks into the hall, and as soon as he enters the door, he kowtows on the ground and says: " Mother and Queen Mother are above, Wu'er is here to kowtow to your old man. ”

"Hehehe, Wu'er is here, hurry up and let my mother take a look. Empress Dowager Dou said eagerly.

Liu Wu crawled in front of Empress Dowager Dou and said, "Mother, are your eyes better, are you still not able to see clearly?"

"I see that my son really cares about his mother, my mother is getting older, this old eye is becoming more and more useless, one eye is completely unclear, and the other one is sometimes clear, sometimes blurry, just use it, hehehe. Empress Dowager Dou touched Liu Wu's head and said, "Oh, my son has become thinner, pay attention to his body in the future, don't run around all day long and don't take care of himself." ”

Liu Wu said excitedly: "Mother, as long as you are healthy, Wu'er will be fine, when the date of Chang'an is approaching, the excited Wu'er has no intention of eating, hehehe." ”

"Look at how much I know how much Wu'er loves my mother, this time I came to Chang'an to stay for a few more days, don't be in such a hurry to go back, let's have a good family membership." ”

"Wu'er really wants to stay a few more days, there are rules in the court, the princes and kings can't stay in Chang'an for a long time, I'm afraid the emperor will be unhappy." ”

"Where do you speak, you are different from other kings, the emperor is your own brother, there are still so many taboos in family gatherings, but there is a lack of family affection, I believe your brother will not say anything. ”

"Okay, then Wu'er will play the emperor and stay in Chang'an for a few more days to accompany her mother. ”

"That's right, I don't believe that the emperor is not allowed. ”

Then the emperor Liu Qi received a request from his younger brother Liu Wu to stay in Chang'an for a few more days, and he hadn't seen his brother for a long time, so he wrote a quasi-word with a big stroke of the pen, Liu Wu was very happy and immediately came to Changle Palace to tell his mother, Empress Dowager Dou smiled: " I have said that the emperor will not forget the brotherhood, you take advantage of the emperor's time in Chang'an, go out and walk around more, see if there is any change in Chang'an, you two talk more, by the way, go to meet your sister Liu, take a spare time for our family to come to me for a while, and then have a good chatter. ”

"Yes, mother, the Queen Mother, everything is arranged by you, I have already met my sister. ”

"Hehe, when people are old, they want to have a family reunion, let my wife and son enjoy a few years of happiness, and the country will be stable and stable, so I won't worry. ”

"Don't worry mother, who dares to be in the world of the Han ****, first of all, you Wu'er can't let him succeed, with our brothers, we will definitely make the Han Dynasty live for a long time." ”

"Okay, okay, hehehe. ”

Suddenly, a messenger walked in and reported: "Report to the Queen Mother, Zhan Shi Dou Ying asks to see you." ”

"Oh, hello again, you see my nephew hasn't been here for many days, it seems that he is quite busy, let him in. Empress Dowager Dou seemed to be talking to Liu Wu, and seemed to be talking to herself.

"No. ”

Dou Ying walked in in a small step, and when he entered the hall, he fell on the ground and kowtowed: "Dou Ying asks for peace for the Queen Mother, and asks for peace for King Liang." ”

"Hurry up, it's all your own family, you don't have to be polite. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie. Dou Ying got up and walked to the Empress Dowager Dou and asked, "It's good that the Empress Dowager is in good health." ”

"It's good, but the eyes are getting more and more blurry, and I'm getting old and useless. ”

"The Queen Mother is too worried, and she is not old at all. Dou Ying glanced at Liu Wu and continued, "King Liang has always been good, this time he came to the court, and he hasn't gone to Chang'an yet." ”

"Hehe, this time I'm going to stay in Chang'an for a few more days, I'll definitely look around, I've been to Chang'an for a long time, and sometimes I miss the bits and pieces of my childhood here. ”

"Hehehe, yes, drinking water and thinking about the source, of course, childhood memories are the best. Dou Ying is in line with the Tao.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Dou interjected: "Dou Ying, I will hold a family banquet here in three days, and you can also accompany the emperor to participate in it." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie, I will definitely come then. ”

In the next few days, Liu Wu and the emperor rode around Chang'an in the same car, and rode a BMW horse to the royal hunting ground on the forest garden to hunt together, the excitement of playing, let Liu Wu rekindle the ** who stayed in Chang'an, not only have good childhood memories here, staying here is equivalent to one step closer to the peak of power.

On the third day, the family banquet held by the Empress Dowager Dou began in the sound of the zither, the emperor Liu Qi, the king of Liang Liu Wu, the eldest princess Liu Xuan, Zhan Shi Dou Ying, etc., all arrived, the family banquet began in a joyful atmosphere, and congratulated the Empress Dowager Dou on her health, the prosperity and stability of the country, one by one drank happily, the wine passed three rounds, the dishes passed five flavors, the Empress Dowager Dou couldn't close her mouth happily, and said excitedly: "How good it would be if you could do this every day." ”

The eldest princess Liu said: "Mother, my brother should still put state affairs first, how can I stay by your side every day, and I and the emperor will guard it if I have a daughter." ”

"Big girl, I'm a little tired of seeing the two of you all day long, or Wu'er by my side makes me feel comfortable. ”

At this time, Emperor Liu Qi was already a little excited, and said without thinking: "Mother rest assured, after the child is a hundred years old, I will pass on the throne to my brother King Liang, so that I can stay by your side for a long time." ”

"Hehehe, this is very good, this is very good. Empress Dowager Dou's smiling face turned into a plate of chrysanthemums.

"The brother's qualifications are not enough, and we have to continue to train and exercise. Liang Wang Liu Wu said on the surface, and his heart was already happy.

At this time, Zhan Shi Dou Ying saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately walked over with a glass of wine to the emperor and said: "The world is the world laid down by Gaozu, and the emperor should be passed on from father to son, this is the system stipulated by the Han Dynasty, why should the emperor pass it to King Liang without authorization!"

Dou Ying's words made the family who were chatting hotly calm down suddenly, and the face of the Empress Dowager Dou immediately changed from a blooming chrysanthemum to a frosted eggplant, which made people look very terrifying, and the banquet broke up unhappily.
