In a small bedroom of the private house, Gongsun Wei said to Yang Sheng: "Brother, we have finally met the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother can put pressure on the Emperor and establish King Liang as the heir to the throne as soon as possible, then we will have made a great contribution."

"Hehe, that's right, we'll stay here for ten days and a half months, and then we'll go back to King Liang to receive the reward, and we'll be rich." Yang Sheng's excited face was a little distorted.

"That's, that's, hee-hee. ”

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

Let's say that Liu Yu returned to Chang'an City under the escort of Zhang Jiayang, and went directly to the Yilan Hall of Changle Palace to greet his mother Mrs. Wang. said softly: "Ouch, the little prince is finally back, there has been no news from you in the past two days, even the emperor has been alarmed, and now the emperor is still in the palace to comfort Mrs. Wang." ”

"Oh, then I'll hurry into the palace and apologize to my father and mother. ”

Liu Yu hurriedly trotted into the hall, and saw Liu Qi sitting in the hall and Wang Huan's eyes facing each other, Wang Huan's face was anxious, Liu Yu snapped and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Father, mother, I am back, so that my father and mother are worried." ”

Liu Qi turned his head and saw that it was Liu Yu kneeling on the ground, a smile flashed across the corner of his eyes, but he immediately returned to a serious attitude and said: "Bold Liu Yu, you don't tell your mother if you are wild everywhere, and if you are worried about your mother, you should not quickly admit your mistake and apologize to your mother." ”

"No," Liu Yu turned to face Wang Wan and continued, "Mother, Yu'er knows her mistake and will never do it again in the future." ”

Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Wang Wan's stretched eyes at this time, and she shouted softly to Liu Yu: "Yu'er, I can count on you as if you are here, come to my mother's side quickly." ”

Liu Yu got up from the ground and threw himself into Wang Huan's arms like a coquette, Wang Wan instantly hugged Liu Yu tightly, for fear that Liu Yu would fly away, and said softly: "Yu'er, you must let me know where to go in the future, this has to have three long and two short, but how can I live." ”

"Mother, in the future, Bi'er will never make such a mistake again, besides, Bi'er Fu has a great life, a great creation, and he will be safe and sound wherever he goes. ”

When Liu Qi heard Liu Yu's answer, he immediately said happily: "Fu Da life is great and great creation, okay, I love to hear what Bi'er says, I like it, as a prince, I will be blessed by God, so just bloom your thoughts to your heart's content, the sky of the Han Dynasty needs my children and grandchildren to gallop and soar." ”

"What my father said is so beautiful, when Yu'er grows up, he will definitely gallop across the field and make contributions to the Han Dynasty. ”

"Okay, it's my son, I like it, hahaha. ”

At this time, a messenger hurriedly ran over, knelt down in front of Liu Qi when he entered the hall, and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother just sent someone to find Your Majesty, and when Your Majesty is done here, she will go to the Yongshou Palace." ”

"Oh, okay, okay, this is not far from the Yongshou Palace, you go back to the Queen Mother first, and say that I will arrive later." ”

"No. The messenger took the command and turned and withdrew.

Wang Wan immediately said: "This side has been found, Your Majesty should go to the Queen Mother to see if there is anything important, don't let the Queen Mother wait in a hurry." ”

"That's fine. Liu Qi said to Liu Yu again, "Yu'er, you have to study hard, and I will test you when I go back." ”

"No. ”

"Okay, I'll go to the Hall of Eternal Longevity. Liu Qi turned around and walked out of the Yilan Hall as he spoke, and the confessor followed closely behind him and walked directly towards the Yongshou Palace.

In the Yongshou Palace, the Empress Dowager Dou sat behind the coffee table frowning and making a thinking motion, holding a piece of jade in her hand and rubbing it constantly, the servants on both sides kept rubbing her shoulders and beating her back for the Empress Dowager Dou, Liu Qi walked in softly, and Empress Dowager Dou's face instantly became kind, and asked softly: "Is Your Majesty coming in?"

At this time, the servants on both sides noticed that Liu Qi was already standing in front of the coffee table, and the servants immediately knelt down and bowed down in unison and said: "Slaves to the emperor to say goodbye, long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”

Liu Qiyi waved his hand to signal the servants to get up, and then said with a smile: "Mother, you know that I come in gently, and I really can't hide anything from your old man." ”

"Haha, the old woman has been listening to His Majesty's footsteps for more than thirty years, and there is nothing more familiar than this, Your Majesty, please sit next to you. Empress Dowager Dou waved her hand left and right, and the servants all retreated in interest.

"Thank you, Mother Empress Dowager," Liu Qi turned around and sat down and continued, "I wonder what happened to Mother in a hurry to summon me?"

"Hehe, it's nothing serious, I heard in the morning that Your Majesty is in the Yilan Hall of Changle Palace, and I feel that it is not far from here, so I called Your Majesty to chat. ”

"Mother is really leisurely, I will talk to my mother. ”

When Empress Dowager Dou said this, she changed her words and asked, "Rong'er has now arrived in Linjiang, right?"

"Back to her mother, Rong'er has already arrived in Linjiang to take up the country. ”

"Rong'er is still young, maybe King Linjiang is really the right place for him. ”

Mother was right. ”

When Empress Dowager Dou said this, she coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, cough, Your Majesty, this crown prince is empty, have you considered the next candidate?"

"Back to my mother, I haven't thought about it yet, the position of Prince Rong'er is newly abolished, and I feel that I have to think about it seriously. ”

"What Your Majesty said is very much, looking at all the princes, the wasted are wasted, the young are young, and the one who is currently the prince is a little young. ”

"Mother is right, my health is okay now, and it is better to wait for the princes to be a few years older before making a decision. ”

"Your Majesty, the old woman thinks it's inappropriate, and the heir to the throne should be determined as soon as possible to stabilize the instability of the people brought about by the deposed prince, otherwise the situation of the Liu family's murder will not be easy to clean up, and Your Majesty needs to think deeply about this matter. ”

Liu Qi's eyes were stunned and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean, mother?"

"Wu'er is strong this year, Wenzhi and martial arts are among the best in the Han Dynasty, he has made immortal contributions to quell the rebellion of the kings, and Wu'er is His Majesty's younger brother, let Wu'er inherit the throne I don't know if Your Majesty has considered it?"

Liu Qi's facial muscles twitched involuntarily a few times when he heard this, his mind instantly boiled, and his throat was instantly speechless.

Empress Dowager Dou didn't hear Liu Qi's answer, so she immediately said, "Your Majesty, did you hear what the old woman said just now?"

Liu Qi stabilized his mood at this time, took a deep breath and said: "Mother, King Liang's martial arts are all above me, and I don't have much opinion on letting King Liang succeed to the throne, but after all, this is also a state affair of the Han Dynasty, and I need to discuss it with the ministers before I can make a decision." ”

"Okay, okay, the old woman is waiting, I hope Your Majesty can facilitate this matter as soon as possible, so that our Liu family will be passed on from generation to generation. ”

"No, Mother. ”

The next morning, Liu Qi said to His Royal Highness's civil and military ministers: "Everyone Aiqing, the deposed prince is a matter that everyone knows, in order to stabilize the foundation of the Han Dynasty, it is necessary to find a new heir, the queen mother proposed, after I live long live, let King Liang inherit the throne, what do you think?"

His Royal Highness was silent, and Liu Qi saw this situation and said: "What's the matter, are you all dumb, is Taiwei Zhou Yafu sick again, good, good, good, you all pretend to be deaf and dumb, and then I will name and point out those who don't speak to ask for guilt............ Prime Minister Tao Qing, can you tell me?"

The old man Tao Qing was full of silver hair, but his head was not confused, thinking of this question is more tricky, agreeing and disagreeing will offend people, and the head that can't eat well will be lost, so he replied in horror: "Your Majesty, the matter of who will succeed to the throne is Your Majesty's family matter, and the old minister is inconvenient to say, this matter is still decided by Your Majesty." ”

This is good, the old fox Tao Qing then kicked the ball to Liu Qi again, Liu Qi snorted, almost choked half to death, and said mockingly: "It's really a waste, let me decide, what do you want." ”

Tao Qing immediately felt that it was not right, so he continued: "Your Majesty, there is one minister, Your Majesty can ask him a question or two." ”

"Who is the master?"

"Originally Feng Chang Yuan An. ”

"This Yuan An, I haven't seen anyone else for a long time, I don't know how I'm doing recently?"

"Let the minister go to his mansion. ”

"Okay, Prime Minister, I will send you to pass on Yuan Ang on this matter, and quickly summon him to discuss the matter. ”

"Commandment. ”

"Okay, there's nothing else to do. ”

The ministers left Weiyang Palace one by one, but there were several ministers who opposed King Liang's succession to the throne standing and waiting outside the palace gate, and after a while, they saw Yuan Ang coming over in a carriage, and greeted them one by one, Yuan Ang said: "Everyone, why are you staying here?"

"When you come, we will declare to Your Majesty that we cannot make King Liang the heir to the throne. ”

"Oh, how do you know that I, Yuan An, will have this opinion?"

"Haha, the Han can't have any more wars because of the crown prince, I believe you will be on the right side. ”

"Hahaha, the hero sees the same thing, let's go, let's go and advise Your Majesty together. ”

A group of people came to the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Qizheng was sitting in the main hall and thinking worriedly, and when he saw Yuan Ang and a group of people walking in, he immediately got up and said: "Yuan Aiqing, I can be regarded as looking forward to you, what do you say I should do." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister's opinion is that you must not agree to King Liang to inherit the throne, which will cause political chaos in the Han Dynasty, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Your Majesty, yes. A group of ministers in the back echoed Yuan An's words.

Liu Qi looked at the group of people behind Yuan An, and said very puzzledly: "You gang, why didn't you say it in the early dynasty, but now you have been kidnapped by Yuan An." ”

"How dare you, there are many people in the early dynasty, and I am afraid of provoking dissenting people to attack. ”

"It's a cowardice. ”

A group of ministers immediately knelt down and said, "The ministers are guilty, and the ministers are guilty." ”

"Arise, though cowardly, but since you are still concerned with the great man, you are not guilty. Liu Qi then looked at Yuan Ang and said, "Yuan Aiqing won't be as timid as them, right?"

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the safety of the Han Dynasty, the minister will not hesitate to break his bones. ”

"Okay, I like a minister like you, if I don't agree with King Liang as the heir to the throne, I need to convince the Empress Dowager, can Yuan Aiqing go to the Yongshou Hall of Changle Palace to complete this task for me?"

"Your Majesty, you can try it and try your best to complete your mission. ”

"Okay, come on, give Yuan Aiqing wine. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Yuan Ang picked up the wine vessel and drank it all.
