On the east side of Weiyang Palace, there are several splendid palaces, the door of the palace is written with three gilt characters----- Juxian Palace, here is the residence of the current prince Liu Rong, since Liu Rong was canonized as the prince, the emperor Liu Qi gave this palace the name of the "Juxian Palace", and let the prince study here and make friends with celebrities in the society, hoping to learn the way of governing the country and the state here, the prince and the prince Dou Ying are here to give Liu Rong a lesson, only to see Dou Ying holding a plate and preaching seriously: "The wild proverb says, 'The past is not forgotten, and the teacher of the future is also. 'It is to take the gentleman as the country, look at the ancients, test the world, participate in the personnel, observe the reason of prosperity and decline, judge the appropriateness of power, go to order, change due to time, so it is protracted and the society is safe. ”
Liu Rong asked suspiciously: "Taifu, who said this, what does it mean?"
This is Emperor Wen's doctor Jia Sheng's "Treatise on the Passage of Qin", just this passage means that people should keep in mind the lessons of the past, as a reference for future actions, so the gentleman governs the country, examines the history of antiquity, verifies the contemporary situation, and tests it through personnel, so as to understand the law of prosperity and decline, know in detail whether the strategy and the situation are appropriate, and make orderly choices and timely changes, so that they can last for a long time and the country can be stable. ”
"Taifu, what Jia Sheng said makes sense, I heard that one of his theories about the demise of Qin is because he was too cruel to the common people, and when I inherit the throne, I must be as merciful to the people as my father, so that the country can be stable for a long time. ”
"The prince understands well, and it doesn't make sense. ”
"Taifu, how should you understand it?"
"Kindness is fundamental, and it must be based on the indoctrination of the people, and without indoctrination, all kindness will be considered weakness by those with ulterior motives, and this may also put the country in a dangerous position. ”
"Taifu said it very well, governing the country is really a broad and profound knowledge. ”
"Taifu, the professor prince has worked hard, I have brought you some condolences here, come here to talk about it. Dou Ying was talking with the prince, when suddenly Concubine Li came from the direction of the gate of the Juxian Pavilion and shouted from a long distance away from the two.
When Dou Ying saw that it was Concubine Li, she immediately put the professor's board on the desk and said to the prince: "The prince will read it by himself first, and I will come when I go." ”
"Okay, Taifu. Liu Rong stood up and replied respectfully, turning to look at his mother, Concubine Li was letting the two guards carry a wooden box towards the living room.
Dou Ying walked quickly to the living room and saluted Concubine Li: "Greetings to Madame." ”
Concubine Li, who was standing in the living room, smiled slightly and said: "Taifu, they are all their own people, there is no need to be polite, it is hard to teach the prince knowledge for a long time." ”
"It is incumbent upon us to do so. ”
"Okay, in order to thank Taifu, prepare some small gifts, I hope Taifu can accept it. After Concubine Li finished speaking, she glanced at the two entourages and said, "Come on, bring the box over and open it." ”
"No. The two entourages quickly lifted the wooden box to Dou Ying, opened the lid, and the colorful light came out of the box, piercing people's eyes, Dou Ying watched attentively, and a box full of gold, silver and jewelry appeared in front of him.
Dou Ying immediately saluted and said, "Madam, the minister is useless, I don't know what this means?"
"Taifu, I hope you can seriously assist the crown prince, so that the prince can inherit the throne smoothly, these are to comfort the prince. ”
Dou Ying immediately leaned over and said: "Madam, the minister Dou Ying was ordered to be the Taifu, carefully and meticulously taught, and did not dare to slack off, lest he be unable to teach more truths to the prince due to his limited ability, and teach the prince the way to stabilize the country, and it is the prince's duty to assist the prince in succeeding to the throne smoothly. ”
"Oh, Taifu is right. ”
"If you let Dou Ying say what is in your heart, Professor Chen and the prince are just for fame and not for profit, and I ask Mrs. to forgive the minister for not daring to accept it. ”
"It's a good one for fame and not for profit, okay, I'll take back this gift, and store it with me first, if the Taifu needs to get it from me that day." Concubine Li said this, looked at the entourage next to her and said, "You two carry this box of gifts out, wait outside the door, and don't come in if you don't call you." ”
"No. The two attendants packed up the gold, silver, and jewelry boxes, lifted them up, and hurried out of the living room.
"Taifu Dou, since we are all for the good of the prince, do you say that the position of the prince is stable now. ”
"I don't know why Mrs. said this, since Rong'er has officially been established as the crown prince, it means that the emperor is still optimistic about Rong'er, as long as Rong'er does what the prince should do, and gradually understands and masters the operation of the emperor, it is natural to inherit the throne in the future, but ......" Dou Ying became hesitant when she said this.
"Taifu, since we are our own people, we don't have to worry about anything, just say it. ”
"Madame saw it, recently the Han and Hun and the pro, Mrs. Wang ruthlessly married her own princess Nangong to the Huns, calmed the border dispute, Mrs. Wang's moral cultivation is high, please Madame, you should pay attention to it in the future. ”
"Oh, Taifu is worried about this, whether Princess Nangong marries or not, I'm afraid she can't stop Mrs. Wang, and now that she has reached the age of marriage, I'm afraid there are only three princesses who can marry, and there is no other choice." ”
Dou Ying immediately took a step back and said: "It may be that the minister is suspicious, and in the future, we must abide by a principle, do more things that are beneficial to the prince, and do less or even no things that are not conducive to the prince." ”
"Okay, listen to what the prince says, and the prince will be handed over to the prince. ”
"Do your best. ”
Concubine Li and Dou Ying talked for a long time, and the center of everything was around the prince, hoping that the wheel of time could send the prince to the peak of the Han Dynasty's power, and then get what they needed, and draw a strong stroke in the long river of history.
In Chang'an City, not far from Changle Palace, there is a deep house compound on a street, a high gatehouse, two strong and powerful characters are written above the vermilion gate----- Chen Mansion, a row of red lanterns on the door is shining against the backdrop of the night, in the deepest part of the deep house compound, an inner room sits a beautiful lady, is carefully arranging her hair in front of the bronze mirror, the maid next to her is standing around and busy, only to hear the lady say: "Xiaohong, is the Hou Ye back?"
"Princess, I heard from the guard at the door that I never saw you back. ”
"This Hou Ye, after so many years, still doesn't return to the house until dawn, and he really doesn't care about the things in the house. ”
"Princess, who made you capable, if there is no princess in the whole house, I don't know what will happen to you, hehe. ”
"Xiaohong is really good at talking, but you can't exaggerate what you say. ”
It turned out that this noble lady was the sister of the current emperor Liu Qi, the princess of the pavilion, Liu Yan, who couldn't sleep at night, so she took the opportunity to let the maid Xiaohong and others fix her hair, only to see Liu Yan continue: "I don't worry about the future of my two sons, no matter what the future is, I can still be a marquis, but what will happen to my good daughter Gillian in the future?"
"The eldest princess is still worried about the future of the monarch, and she will definitely marry a marquis or prince with status, and she will not worry about eating and drinking at that time. ”
"Hehe, Xiaohong, you know how to eat and drink. When Liu Yan said this, she immediately realized something and said to herself, "Marry a prince, marry a prince, hehe, there is." ”
"Eldest princess, what are you talking about, what are you talking about?" Xiaohong was inexplicable when she heard Liu Yan's words.
"Xiaohong, early tomorrow morning, you will find the matchmaker in the east of the city, and say that this princess has something to see her. ”
"No, Xiaohong will do it early tomorrow morning. ”
The sun gradually rose from the east, and a round of red sun shone on the vast land, only to see an old woman dressed in silk silk twisting her waist and appearing in Liu Yan's Hou Mansion, and shouted before entering the door: "What did the eldest princess call the old woman to do early in the morning, could it be that there is wine and meat to eat again, hahaha." ”
Mrs. Wang came in and spoke. When Liu heard the shouts in the hospital, she responded eagerly.
Mrs. Wang hurriedly walked into the living room, and when she saw Liu Concubine on the blanket on the ground, she immediately saluted: "The old woman greets the eldest princess." ”
"Mrs. Wang, don't be polite, just now you asked you in the courtyard what was the matter, this is really a happy event for you to do, if it is done, there will be a reward. ”
"Eldest princess, old woman, I can only talk about matchmaking in my life, if I am asked to do other things, I may not be able to do it. ”
"It's for you to talk about matchmaking. ”
"May I ask whose son, whose prince, whose daughter?"
"Hahaha, tricky matchmaker Wang, you can't see this, my Gillian and the current prince, as long as you can facilitate this, you can shout whatever you want. ”
"Ouch, look at my old confused head, this pair made in heaven, why didn't I think that looking at Gillian is the queen's life, and the eldest princess is the sister of the emperor today, it is really a good match, there is nothing more suitable than this, the eldest princess rest assured, this matter is on me, and I will go to Concubine Li to match it immediately. ”
"Come, give the matchmaker Wang twenty taels of silver first, and then reward him after the deed is completed. Liu Yan said to Xiaohong next to her.
"No. ”
Bai Huahua's silver was handed over to Mrs. Wang, and she promised with a smile: "The eldest princess is too polite, I will definitely handle this matter seriously, you can wait for good news in the house." ”
Mrs. Wang twisted her waist and happily walked out of Chen's Mansion and ran towards Weiyang Palace.
Xiaohong smiled happily: "It turns out that the eldest princess, you are more thoughtful than the slave maid, looking at the face, the princess of Gillian really has the destiny to be a queen, and she will definitely be able to be a mother in the world in the future and enjoy all the glory and wealth." ”
"Hehehe, the little girl is really good at sycophancy, go and prepare a table of sumptuous wine and food, and when the matchmaker Wang comes back, we will have a good celebration. ”
"No. Xiaohong hurriedly walked out of the living room and began to arrange the food and drink.
In the Yuanluan Hall of Weiyang Palace, Mrs. Wang fell down in front of Concubine Li and said, "Mrs. Li, good things are coming, good things are coming." ”
Concubine Li sat down near the exquisite coffee table and replied, "Mrs. Wang, what good things are coming, did you buy some precious rouge powder again?"
"Mrs. Li, wrong, the old woman's visit today is not a matter of rouge powder, but a lifelong event of the prince. ”
"What, the prince's life's event?"
"Yes, there is a beautiful girl who is very suitable for the prince, and I would like to introduce it to the prince. ”
When Concubine Li heard this, she immediately said, "I don't know what Mrs. Wang is talking about is the daughter of that family?"
"Hehehe, Mrs. Li is very familiar with her, they are all from her own family, Chen Ajiao, the youngest daughter of the princess of the current pavilion Tao, is beautiful and generous, gentle and virtuous, and has the potential to be a mother in the world, if you can marry the prince, you are right, it is a match made in heaven......"
"Mrs. Wang, don't be in a hurry to say it yet. Concubine Li suddenly interrupted Mrs. Wang's words, and said tepidly: "It seems that Ajiao Chen is only seven or eight years old now, a child, how can Mrs. Wang say like a flower." ”
"Hehehe, old woman, what I said is indeed true, Madame Li should have seen a little beauty......
At this time, Concubine Li didn't listen to the words of the princess at all, but was thinking about the eldest princess Liu Xuan, and thought: "Liu Xuan, this woman, usually in order to please the emperor, sends beautiful women to the emperor every day, and she is not very favored by the emperor now, and the current situation is completely harmed by this woman, and now I think about my prince's son, thinking about the United States, if your daughter comes, isn't it for nothing to pick up a queen to do, it's too shameless, too shameless......"
"Hmph. Concubine Li couldn't help but snort when she thought of her anger, and her face was much gloomy.
Mrs. Wang on the side immediately realized that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly whispered: "Mrs. Li, do you have anything unspeakable, old woman, I think this karma is still more suitable." ”
"Hmph, hehehe. Concubine Li sneered and said, "You go back and tell the eldest princess, just say that the prince is still young, and he is at the age of learning the way of Anbang to govern the country, and he has no intention of taking care of the personal affairs of his children, so let's wait for the children to grow up." ”
Mrs. Wang continued with perseverance: "Mrs. Li, this is a rare marriage in a hundred years, if you don't give you a few days to think about it, and then inform me of the old woman, the county lord of the eldest princess can still be worthy of the prince." ”
"Go and go, don't think about it anymore, I'll give you a letter now, this thing doesn't work, my son only came to Gao Pan when he became the prince, what do you usually do. ”
"This, this ......" Mrs. Wang was blushed, and gently bowed to Concubine Li, "The old woman is too disturbed, take your leave." ”
"I don't send it. ”
The spirit of Mrs. Wang's happy arrival was swept away, and she left the Yuanluan Hall of Weiyang Palace dejectedly.
