Liu Qi gradually calmed down under the persuasion of the ministers, and thought about it, maybe the ministers' opinions were correct, so he issued the will to choose the daughter of the clan as the princess of Heqin, and asked the interested ministers of the clan to take the initiative to sign up, and this matter of Heqin entered the implementation stage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A few days later, none of the ministers of the clan were willing to sacrifice their daughters, and instead they wrote a plan to cut the feudal domain.

Liu Qi took Chao Cuo's book, skimmed through it roughly, and asked, "Teacher, why did you cut the Chu State first?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Liu Wu, the king of Chu, is the grandson of Liu Jiao, the younger brother of his ancestors, and he is a distant brother of His Majesty, and he has to guard against family estrangement. ”

"Then what about cutting Zhao Guo and Jiaoxi Kingdom?"

"Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, is the son of Liu You, the son of Gaozu's concubine, and Liu Ang, the king of Jiaoxi, is the son of Liu Fei, the son of Gaozu's concubine, and is also a relatively close brother of His Majesty, so that it is not easy to cause injustice in the world, and then slowly from weak to strong, and slowly achieve the purpose of weakening the strong country. ”

"Okay, the mentor has a thoughtful plan, and I agreed, but this matter must be considered in the long run, and slowly find a suitable reason to carry it out, but the mentor must remember that you will operate it directly, conduct an investigation secretly, and must not let more people know before the edict is announced, especially where the queen mother is. ”

"No. ”

"Oh, Mentor, I ask you again, about the matter of harmony, now that I can't choose a daughter of the clan, is there any better way for the mentor to carry out the matter of harmony?"

"According to the old minister's opinion, Your Majesty should be flexible, just choose a palace maid to give her the title of a princess to make peace, anyway, the Huns don't account for so much anywhere, the key is the meaning of harmony. ”

"Hehehe, good idea, but the first emperor sent over is a real clan girl, if you send a palace maid over this time, will there be a big leak. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, at least this peace can extend the peace of the border pass until our internal contradictions are completely resolved, and then we are still afraid of the Huns, I believe that they will also weigh their own weight when they see the powerful Han. ”

"I hope so, just finish the matter of harmony first. ”

Several confessors hurriedly walked in from outside the palace, and one of them came to Liu Qi with a tray and said, "Your Majesty, please flop." ”

Liu Qi looked at the bamboo board on the tray, on which were written Queen Bo, Concubine Li, Concubine Cheng, Concubine Tang, Mrs. Jia, and Mrs. Wang......

Liu Qi thought for a long time, picked up Mrs. Wang's sign and turned it over, and the confessor immediately retreated and hurriedly walked to the Yilan Hall of Changle Palace, and saw Mrs. Wang and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wang, the emperor is here tonight." ”

"Really, that's great. Mrs. Wang laughed, and a red cloud flew up her cheeks.

Mrs. Wang's name is Wang Huan, speaking of Wang Huan there is a legend that people talk about, her mother is called Zang Er, after the famous family in the early Han Dynasty, the overlord Xiang Yu once sealed a Yan Wang Zang Di when he divided the princes of the Eighteen Roads, that is, Zang Er's grandfather, Zang Tu later surrendered to Liu Bang when the Chu and Han Dynasty fought, and Zang Di also began to rebel when the princes of the opposite sex in the early Han Dynasty rebelled against the Han DynastyAfter Wang Zhong's death, Zang Er remarried to the Changling Tian clan and gave birth to two sons, Tian Wei and Tian Sheng.

When Wang Wan just came of age, under the auspices of his mother Zang Er, married into the family of the merchant Jin Wangsun, and it didn't take long for him to give birth to a daughter named Jin Customs, one day Wang Huan's mother found a fortune teller named Yao Weng to meet his children, Yao Weng told Zang Er: "Wang Wan is a noble person." ”

Zang Er was very happy after listening to it, in fact, the fortune teller is a flattering word, but Zang Er listened to it differently, thinking about what is called a noble person, now her daughter Wang Wan married to the merchant Jin Wangsun's family, there are a few small money, at most it is called rich, but you can't talk about it, what is called Dagui, that is, you are the queen, so my daughter should have the order to marry the emperor, at that time Emperor Wen was on the throne, he was a little old, and he was unwilling to marry Emperor Wen, so marry the prince, the prince is the future emperor, Zang Er forcibly took Wang Wan from Jin Wangsun's house, and found an acquaintance to send Wang Wan and Wang Erjiao into the Tai**, became the palace maid who was still the prince Liu Qi at the time, and it didn't take long for Liu Qi to pamper Wang Huan, and gave birth to three girls and one boy for Liu Qi, the daughter is Princess Pingyang, Princess Nangong, Princess Longyu, and the son is the future emperor Liu Che, since then Wang Huan's status as a palace maid has become a lady.

Now the youngest Liu Yu (Liu Che's nickname, 彘 means pig) is two years old, Wang Wan is very satisfied with guarding a few children every day, although she is only a concubine, but she has reached the goal of wealth and nobility, so she is relatively satisfied all day, and suddenly heard the messenger report that the emperor is here tonight, so that she is really excited.

"The emperor has arrived. While he was talking, the guards at the gate of the Yilan Hall shouted to the hall one by one.

Wang Wan hurriedly tidied up her clothes, looked in the mirror again and again, looked very excited, turned around and hurriedly knelt at the door of the hall and said, "The concubine welcomes Your Majesty here." ”

I only heard Liu Qi laugh as he walked in: "Hahaha, Mrs. Wang, please get up quickly." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Wang Wan stood up and took the coat from Liu Qi's hand.

Under the service of the maids, Liu Qi and Wang Wan walked into the inner bedroom of the Yilan Palace, and after a cloud and rain, Liu Qi lay beside Wang Wan and sighed.

Wang Wan hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, why do you sigh, is it caused by the concubine's inattentive service to Your Majesty?"

"Alas, Madame doesn't know, recently I am thinking about the Han and the Xiongnu and the matter of harmony, I need to choose a palace maid to give her the title of princess to go to the marriage, the matter of choosing the palace maid has not been completed, I am worried about this matter. ”

"Then Your Majesty has already sent someone to carry it out?"

"Not yet, I wanted to find a clan girl to make peace, but who knew that the people in the clan had secretly expressed their opposition. ”

"Why, there are still people who openly oppose the emperor. ”

"Hehe, that's not true, in the nearly a month since I issued my will, no one in the clan has been willing to sacrifice their daughters to make peace, and this can't be blamed on them, even the daughters of the people are not willing to throw her to the tiger wolf and the Huns, let alone the daughter of the clan. ”

"Then Your Majesty is relegating to the next best thing and finding a palace maid to replace you?"

"Yes, who do I want to ask to find a suitable palace maid, first of all, to have the nobility of the royal family, to be familiar with the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, and to withstand the test of the Huns Da Danyu. ”

"If Your Majesty can trust the concubine, let the concubine come and find it. ”

"Hehe, that's very good, I'll rest assured that this matter will be handed over to Madame. ”

Then Wang Wan got busy, searched for suitable candidates up and down in his Yilan Palace, searched for a few days and failed to do so, bored to the back garden to relax, just entered the garden door to hear a melodious guzheng sound, and then a melodious song came:

He is depressed, and he doesn't see it for a day, like three autumns. (Meaning: The girl who picks artemisia can't see it for a day, as if it were three seasons long.) ）

"Who is playing and singing?" Wang Wan immediately asked the maid beside her.

"Mrs. Hui, a newly selected palace maid from outside the palace, her name is Xiaohe, she was supposed to be arranged in Weiyang Palace, but for some reason she was reassigned to the back garden of this Yilan Palace by Concubine Li. ”

"Oh, let's go, go over and have a look. Wang Huan, accompanied by the maids, walked to a small pavilion in the back garden.

Before arriving in the pavilion, the sound of the guzheng stopped abruptly, and Xiaohe had already seen Wang Wan coming over, and hurriedly knelt in the pavilion and said, "The slave and maid greet Mrs. Wang." ”

"Hehe, Xiaohe, raise your head and let me see. Wang Wan said.

I saw Xiaohe raise her head slightly, like a delicate and shy, white melon seed face, big eyes, high nose bridge, cherry mouth, Wang Wan was stunned at the door of the pavilion for a long time without speaking.

A maid reminded, "Madame, ma'am. ”

"Oh, Xiaohe stood up and spoke. ”

"Mrs. Xie. ”

Xiaohe stood up and made Wang Wan feel even more amazed, the slender body of the weak willow Fufeng fluttered like a fairy descending to the mortal world, which made people sigh that the red-faced stunner was just like this.

"Xiaohe, where are you from, how did you get into the palace?"

"Mrs. Hui, Xiaohe's hometown of Zhaodi, because of the famine for many years, I went to Chang'an with my parents, and in order to exchange money to support my younger brother, my parents exchanged me for silver to serve as a palace servant for a large family. ”

"Oh, I see, I heard you play and sing just now, and I seem to be a little literate and hyphenation?"

Xiaohe didn't dare, but he followed his father to learn some words on the scriptures of poetry on weekdays, and learned some guzheng in his spare time. ”

"Oh, yes, are your parents still in Chang'an now?"

"Yes, it's possible that it's still going to be difficult. ”

Wang Wan thought for a while and said, "Do you want your parents and younger brother to live a worry-free life in the future?" ”

"Madam, slaves and maids dream of it, but unfortunately people are weak and weak, and it is impossible to achieve it. ”

"Hehehe, this opportunity has come, now the big man is choosing a princess who is kind, but unfortunately the princesses are still young now, can not make the trip, want to find a beauty like you to replace the princess to marry the Huns, I don't know if Xiaohe is willing to be such a princess? If you are willing, I will immediately send someone to give your parents and brother some silver taels to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing in this life. ”

"If that's the case, Xiaohe is willing. ”

"Okay, Xiaohe can come with me, you can call me the queen mother in the future, prepare today, and take you to see the emperor tomorrow, so that the emperor can give you the name of a princess." ”

"No. ”

A group of people returned to the Yilan Hall in a hurry, Wang Wan let the three daughters play with Xiaohe, and in an instant Xiaohe seemed to be a member of this family, Xiaohe's heart also seemed to be extremely happy, maybe because his parents and younger brother had settled in the second half of their lives, maybe because they wanted to get out of this heavily guarded palace and miserable life, or maybe they wanted to live in a place near their hometown Zhaodi, anyway, Xiaohe was willing to accept the task given to him by Wang Huan.

The next day, Xiaohe dressed up in flowers, a little powder delicacy even more charming and moving, under the leadership of Wang Huan, took the carriage and went directly to Weiyang Palace.

Walking into the palace gate, Liu Qi had just retired from the court, Wang Wan led Xiaohe into the apse, and hurriedly asked Liu Qi for peace, Liu Qi saw Wang Wan and said, "Why did Madam come here, is there something wrong?"

"Your Majesty, look at who the concubine has brought here. ”

Liu Qi glanced at Xiaohe behind him under the guidance of Wang Huan, and was immediately attracted by Xiaohe's beautiful face.

Wang Wan then said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty. ”

Liu Qi immediately woke up from his surprise and hurriedly said, "Mrs. Wang, are you taking this girl with you?"

"Your Majesty forgot, this is the princess she found for the Han Dynasty. ”

"Hehehe, I'm almost forgetting, where is this woman from?"

"It's the new palace maid Xiaohe. ”

"Why didn't I see that the new maid still has such a stunner. ”

Wang Wan was afraid that Liu Qi would regret his greed for Xiaohe's beauty, so he hurriedly said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to give the name of Princess Heqin." ”

"Okay, such a special time, such a beautiful princess, since there is a lotus word in the name, it is called the lotus princess, which means that the sludge is not stained, and I hope that the princess can make some contributions to the peace of Han and Hungary after arriving in the Xiongnu. ”

"Your Majesty Xie gave the name, and the concubine will go back to teach Princess Lotus some court etiquette, so as not to ruin the prestige of the Han Dynasty. ”

"Yes, Madame will take the lotus princess to retreat, and I will make another call when I kiss. ”

"No. Wang Wan withdrew from Weiyang Palace with the lotus princess.
