Gongsun Yi and Yang Sheng quickly spread the news of meeting the Empress Dowager to Suiyang, and King Liang said very excitedly: "Okay, the Empress Dowager still loves this king, so she hurriedly sent a letter to the emperor and asked to enter Chang'an to meet the Empress Dowager and the emperor."

"No. ”

King Liang let out a deep sigh and then asked Gongsun Wei, "How is the current safari ground built?"

"The King, it was completed some time ago, and now it is all ready, waiting for the King to go on a safari. ”

"Okay, quickly pass on the civil and military ministers, today the king is happy, everyone will hunt together. ”

"No. ”

The ministers of Liang acted nervously, everyone did not dare to be careless, prepared the carriage and horse honor guard, less than half an hour, everything was ready, the personnel arrived, the king of Liang sat on the four horses, played the emperor honor guard given by Liu Qi, the ministers and guests rode on the high-headed horses and hugged each other, the team set off in a mighty way, came to the hunting ground of the Liang country twenty miles northeast of Suiyang, under the command of the king of Liang, the huge hunt began, the colorful flags fluttered in front, the beast was startled first, and then the king of Liang led the ministers to march together, the arrows were swishing and flying, the whole scene was very spectacular, it lasted for two hours in a row, and the prey also harvested a lot, King Liang reined in his war horse and ordered: "Okay, take a rest." Stamina good follows. ”

"No"

King Liang suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where is Sima Xiangru?"

"Big... The king, the minister... At... This... Village. I saw Sima Xiangru come forward and stammer.

King Liang looked at Sima Xiangru and said: "Sima Xiangru, the king has read the "Zixu Fu" you wrote, so what princes and kings how majestic the car drives, how grand the scene is, how do you say the king's car driving honor guard, than the king you wrote?"

"The King... King... The guard of honor is... Be... A gift from the Son of Heaven, not any other ...... Princes and kings...... What can the guard of honor ...... Analogous, the scene ...... Grand...... ...... It belongs to the king... King... Yikes. Sima Xiangru was questioned by Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and the existing stuttering problem became even more serious.

"Hahaha, okay, then let's write about the hunting scene of this king. ”

"The King... Safari... The scene is grand, like... Talent... Insufficient, difficult... Description. ”

"Oh, really, hahaha, it seems that after a while, you should put down your thoughts, give full play to your kung fu when you were a horseman in front of the emperor, hunt more prey, and have a good meal together in the evening. ”

"No, big... Big... King. ”

Liu Wu, the king of Liang, stood up and stepped on his war horse, and said to everyone: "Everyone, cheer me up, make a final charge, shoot more prey, and barbecue in the camp at night." ”

"No, my lord. ”

King Liang led the military generals of Wenchen to hunt for seven days in a row, it was very enjoyable, such a grand safari momentum in the Liang country everyone knows, its daily travel honor guard and scale is no less than the emperor of Chang'an, the wind soon spread to Chang'an, when Liu Qi received the Liang King Liu Wu sent a request to meet the queen mother's recital, but also knew that the king of Liang exceeded the etiquette system, the heart was very unhappy, so he came to the mother Empress Dowager Dou's Changle Palace, did not wait for the emperor to say more, the Empress Dowager Dou spoke first:" Your Majesty, King Liang recently sent a batch of gold and silver jewelry, and the old woman has already distributed it to the concubines according to Wu'er's wishes, do you know. ”

"Mother, Erchen already knows. ”

"Hehehe, Wu'er, who has made great contributions in the counterinsurgency, is also thinking about this place all the time in Suiyang, thinking about everyone, you have news of Wu'er there recently. ”

"Mother, that's why I'm here. ”

"Why, Wu'er has something to do. ”

"Mother, I recently got the exact news, Liu Wu is a palace guard of honor when he travels in Suiyang, and the safari ground is bigger than Shanglin Yuan in Chang'an. ”

"What, this Wu'er, what's wrong, it's really not to let the old woman worry, behave like this, it's better not to come to Chang'an. ”

"The New Year is coming soon, won't King Liang come?"

"Don't come, it's time to frustrate his arrogance. Empress Dowager Dou was very worried when she heard about Liu Wuyue's system, if she couldn't grasp it, causing the two sons to fight, the future of the Han Dynasty would be unimaginable, so she said categorically.

"Listen to my mother. ”

The October New Year began with a solemn ceremony, and among the many princes of Chaohe, only King Liang was missing, and King Liang was puzzled in Suiyang, and in the following months sent many envoys to Chang'an, all of which did not return. (Note: The Han Dynasty began with October as the new year.) )

In April after the New Year, at a court meeting, Liu Qi issued a holy decree: "Since I ascended the throne, the country's fortunes have been prosperous, although there are small twists and turns, but God bless the Han Dynasty, in order to make the Han dynasty smooth, all generations are prosperous, the current emperor's eldest son Liu Rong, gentle and elegant, with remarkable talent, can be the prince, the people are expected to return, and the country is very lucky...... Chin this. ”

After hearing this, the ministers of the court below were stunned for a few minutes, and then they crawled on the ground in unison and shouted: "Your Majesty Shengming, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live the crown prince, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old." ”

Then he issued an edict to establish Liu Yu, the tenth son of the emperor, as the king of Jiaodong.

When Empress Dowager Dou heard the holy decree of Emperor Liu Qi, she was very angry when she wanted Liu Qi to pass on the throne to Liu Wu, but because of the fact that Liu Wu overstepped the system, she really knocked out her teeth and swallowed it in her stomach, and it was not good for a while.

Besides, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, got the fact that Liu Rong was made the crown prince, and he was like a deflated ball for a while, but he thought that the envoys sent to Chang'an were all gone and had not returned, so he was even more restless, and immediately summoned Han Anguo and asked: "General Han, because this king has transgressed the system, the emperor has doubts about this king, that is, the queen mother, and this king's biological mother will not allow me to enter Chang'an. ”

"King, now that the crown prince has been established, we should keep our heads in the dark, and it is the first task to reconcile with the emperor and the queen mother as soon as possible. ”

"You're right, this king has never wanted to split with the emperor and the queen mother, but now they don't give this king a chance to speak, and the few envoys sent by this have all gone and never returned, how is this good?"

Han Anguo thought for a while and said: "If the king can trust the minister, the minister is willing to be the envoy of the Liang State to go to Chang'an to meet the queen mother and explain the details, I believe that the queen mother will take into account the relationship between mother and son, and release the previous suspicions." ”

"Hehehe, great, then there will be General Lao Han, I wish General Han success. Hearing that Han Anguo volunteered to go, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, seemed to have suddenly become a child, and said excitedly.

Han Anguo, as the envoy of Liang, did not dare to delay for a moment, came to Chang'an in the starry night, thought of the experience of the previous envoys, and did not want to follow in their footsteps, so he thought about how to meet the queen mother, and then thought of the princess Liu Xuan, that is, the sister of the emperor and King Liang, the intimate little padded jacket of the queen mother, Han Anguo took the waist card of King Liang and came to Liu Xuan's mansion, Liu Concubine heard that it was the messenger sent by his younger brother Liu Wu, so he asked Han Anguo to enter the mansion to answer, Liu Concubine saw Han Anguo and asked: " General Han, I heard that you Liang Wang Chang is capable, and traveling is the emperor's honor guard, but this matter is true?"

Han Anguo kowtowed and cried and bowed: "The princess is above, why can't the queen mother be aware of King Liang's filial piety as a son and loyalty as a subordinate? In the past, when the seven kingdoms of Wu, Chu, Qi, and Zhao rebelled, the princes east of Hangu Pass all united to march westward, and only Liang had the closest relationship with the emperor, which was a hindrance to the rebels' attack. King Liang thought that the queen mother and the emperor were in Guanzhong, and the princes were in turmoil, when he talked about this matter, tears fell one after another, kneeling to send me and other six generals, leading the troops to repel the Wu Chu rebels, and the Wu Chu rebels did not dare to march west because of this, so they eventually perished, this is the strength of the king of Liang. Now the Queen Mother blames and complains about King Liang for some harsh etiquette. King Liang's father and brother are emperors, and all they see are pomp, so they travel to open the road, prohibit people from passing, and emphasize vigilance when returning to the palace, King Liang's cars and flags are all rewarded by the emperor, he just wants to use these to show off in remote small counties, and let the carriages and horses gallop back and forth in the interior, so that everyone in the world knows that the queen mother and the emperor love him. Now that the Liang envoy arrives, he will investigate the accountability. King Liang was afraid, crying day and night, and didn't know what to do. Why is King Liang filial as a son and loyal as a subordinate, but the queen mother does not pity it?"

When Concubine Liu heard Han Anguo's crying, her heart softened, and she hurriedly said: "General Han, hurry up and speak, I will definitely report the details to the Queen Mother." ”

"Princess Xie. ”

Concubine Liu came to Changle Palace non-stop and told the Queen Mother about it, and the Queen Mother said: "This is really a misunderstanding, come here, go and invite the emperor." ”

"No. ”

When Emperor Liu Qi came to Changle Palace and heard his mother's words, he said shyly: "Our brothers did not communicate and persuade each other in time, so that the Queen Mother worried about us, which added to the sorrow, and it was really unfilial, please rest assured that the Queen Mother will immediately meet all the envoys who came to Chang'an, and release the suspicions." ”

"Hehehe, that's right. Empress Dowager Dou was very happy.

So Liu Qi met with all the envoys who came to Chang'an, and rewarded them, Empress Dowager Dou knew that it was Han Anguo who told Liu Yan about this, and she admired Han Anguo's ability to do things, so she rewarded Han Anguo's daughter, and for a time Han Anguo became famous in Chang'an, becoming a key figure in easing the relationship between King Liang and the emperor.

Besides, Liu Rong was made the crown prince, Liu Rong's mother Concubine Li was very happy, knowing that Dou Ying said a lot of things in favor of Liu Rong, so she made her son the prince, so she summoned Dou Ying and said: "General Dou, Rong'er can be established as the prince, you have helped a lot, and this palace will not forget." ”

Dou Ying immediately replied: "Madam, the minister is just speaking with facts, and he has no intention of helping anyone or not helping anyone. ”

"The general is humble, and I invite the general today, hoping that the general will take good care of the prince in the future, so that the prince can gradually become a qualified emperor. ”

"Madam, the crown prince Renhui will definitely be able to become a generation of Ming Jun, this is a gift from God, not a minister. ”

"Hahaha, General Xie praised, this palace means to let the general be the prince's teacher, I hope the general will not shirk. ”

"This, this..." Dou Ying thought that the emperor said that he would make himself a concubine, and now Concubine Li also said the same, and I didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Okay, general, it's decided, and the prince will be handed over to you. ”

Dou Ying thought to himself that if he could cultivate a great emperor through his own efforts, he would also go down in history and realize the value of his life, so he couldn't help but say: "Mrs. Xie Niang appreciates that if Dou Ying has the opportunity, she will do her best to seriously assist the prince." ”
