Dou Ying returned to the Chang'an General's Mansion, and the chief of the mansion hurriedly reported: "General, when you were not in the mansion, there was a Lang official named Tian Wei who asked to see you. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Oh, Tian Wei?" Dou Ying wondered.

"The general is the younger brother of the king and the beauty of the palace. ”

"Oh, I know, it's not a big deal, what is the will in the Weiyang Palace. ”

"No, I heard that the emperor is closing the door to all ministers, I don't know why. ”

"Oh, there shouldn't be anything, since the rebellion was quelled, the emperor is a little tired, it's time to take a break. ”

At this moment, the doorman ran in and reported: "Report to the general, Langguan Tian Wei asks to see him." ”

"It's so late, he has a lot of perseverance, let him in. ”

"No. ”

After a while, Tian Wei walked in with a small bent step, and saw Dou Ying hurriedly prostrate to the ground and said, "The general is above, Tian Wei is polite here." ”

"Tian Wei, look up. ”

I saw Tian Wei raise his head, and the ugly face with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks was shining with a respectful smile, Dou Ying continued: "Tian Langguan, get up and speak, I don't know why I insisted on visiting General Ben today?"

"General, the little one is just here to communicate with the general, nothing big. ”

"Hahaha, Tian Langguan, although you are only a Lang official, you have already made a name for yourself in Chang'an. ”

"There, there, it's all the people in the rivers and lakes who love to say that the general and the lieutenant put down the rebellion, and they are the nobles who are deeply loved by the people of the Han Dynasty. ”

"Tian Langguan, please sit down and talk. ”

"General Xie. Saying that, Tian Wei sat down respectfully and continued, "I wonder if the general knows why the emperor is closed today, and no one is seen?"

"It's normal to be tired from quelling the rebellion and have a day off. ”

"No, the emperor is reflecting on the reasons for the rebellion and thinking of ways to avoid similar wars. ”

"It seems that Tian Langguan knows the emperor very well. ”

"There, there, I'm also guessing casually, that is, to tell the general, tomorrow morning, the emperor will definitely ask how to avoid the war, I don't know how the general will answer?"

"Hehe, Dou Ying doesn't know. ”

"Ask the general again, in March last year, the emperor appointed the prince Liu De as the king of Hejian, Liu Yan as the king of Linjiang, Liu Yu as the king of Huaiyang, Liu Fei as the king of Runan, Liu Pengzu as the king of Guangchuan, Liu Fa as the king of Changsha, why did Liu Duan become the king of Jiaoxi and Liu Sheng as the king of Zhongshan this year?"

"Hehehe, it's normal for the emperor to crown his son as king, oh, do you mean that the emperor will choose the crown prince from among the remaining princes, this is a lice on the bald man's head - an obvious thing. ”

"That's what the big general said, but the little one didn't say that. ”

"Hmph, don't be clever when Tian Langguan is concerned, the candidate for the crown prince should be the emperor's eldest son, Liu Rongcai, there is no doubt about it. ”

"The emperor has a preference, my nephew, the emperor's tenth son, Liu Yu, is not currently crowned king. ”

"Hehehe, Tian Langguan, don't dream less, Han Gaozu set a rule, the prince first chooses the queen to grow a son, and if there is no parent, the middle-aged and elderly will be the concubine, and now the queen is childless, but the position of the prince will not be the tenth son of the emperor anyway. ”

"Don't forget, the general's aunt, Empress Dowager Dou, is still looking forward to her youngest son, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, who was the hero of quelling the rebellion, to inherit the throne. ”

"Hehehe, the Empress Dowager Dou will not get her wish, and the destruction of the ancestral system will be opposed by the people of the world. ”

"The general did not take a penny from the emperor's bounty in the counterinsurgency, and put it all under the corridor for the soldiers to use, and now chatted with the general, only to know that the general is really the pillar of the country, the world's triumphant, so that the general admires it, and in the future, the general will rely on the general's support, and he can eat in the general's mansion. ”

Dou Ying glanced at Tian Wei, who was inferior, skimmed a trace of contempt, and then said: "I didn't say it, I went to my general's mansion to get it when I didn't eat." ”

"General Xie, it's not early, so I'll say goodbye. ”

"Okay, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me, hehehe. ”

In Dou Ying's laughter, Tian Wei withdrew from the General's Mansion and disappeared into the night.

The next morning, sure enough, the emperor Liu Qi asked the ministers of the court: "Ladies and gentlemen, I thought about it for a day yesterday, can anyone know what I am thinking?"

After finishing speaking, what was waiting for was the collective silence of Weiyang Palace, Liu Qi looked at Zhou Yafu, the chief lieutenant, and continued with a smile on his face in the face of this popular man in the dynasty: "Zhou Aiqing, do you know?"

"The minister is stupid, is Your Majesty thinking about how to maintain the long-term peace and stability of the Han Dynasty. ”

"That's right, and then let's go on, how can we maintain long-term peace and stability?"

"Build a strong army and closely monitor the winds and grasses in all parts of Dahan. ”

"Hahaha, this method can only be applied for a while, not for a lifetime. After Liu Qi said this, his eyes moved to Dou Ying and continued, "General, Dou Aiqing, can there be a long-term strategy for the long-term stability of the Han Dynasty?"

Dou Ying looked at Zhou Yafu, and then looked at the ministers arrogantly, cleared his throat and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if you want to make the Han safe, you must first let the people of the county be safe, once the model is formed, a stable and happy life will be deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people, and the county composed of the people will also be stable, and the county will be stable, so that Chang'an can be the respect of the world, and the Han can share the peace and prosperity." ”

"Reasonable, Qing's words are macroscopic but not specific, are there any high-level commentators?" Liu Qi said loudly.

There was no strange sound under the hall, Liu Qi smiled and said: "Forget it, Zhongqing doesn't want to say much, then today's court discussion will be here, Dou Aiqing will go to the apse to see me." ”

The confessor next to him shouted loudly: "Retreat." ”

Dou Ying followed Liu Qi to the back hall, and Liu Qi asked, "Dou Aiqing, you don't really know what I'm thinking, do you?"

"Your Majesty, the minister is stupid, I really don't know. ”

"Haha, okay, I didn't expect my Dou Aiqing to become cautious, I asked you what is the root cause of this rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms?"

"The strong strength of the feudal country can compete with the central government. ”

"By the way, if the strength and the central government can compete with each other, they will want to force me to abdicate and peep into the artifact of the country, I have ordered the abolition of the right to appoint officials in the county, and from now on, the officials are appointed by the central government, and the forces of each kingdom are led by officials sent by the central government. ”

"Your Majesty, I hope that the crown prince will be established according to the ancestral system as soon as possible, so that your subjects can understand Your Majesty's will, and only then can careerists restrain their ambitions, and the Han Dynasty will be stable for a long time. ”

"Yes, I will announce Liu Rong as the crown prince when the feudal states came to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year in October this year. ”

"Your Majesty. ”

"At that time, Dou Aiqing, you will be the prince's concubine, teaching the prince some ways to govern the country. ”

"The minister is stupid, I'm afraid he can't take on such a heavy responsibility. Dou Ying hurriedly kowtowed.

"Forget it, don't pick on the son, you have made up your mind about this matter, go back and think about it, how to train the prince to be a qualified king, that's it. Liu Qi said and left the apse, leaving Dou Ying standing there stunned for a long time before slowly leaving.

And said that Liu Wu, the king of Liang who was far away in Juyang, the emperor's system of cutting off the right to appoint and dismiss the feudal state was invalid here, relying on the dowager Dou's doting and suppressing the rebellion, Liu Qi also gave him privileges, and now the palace hall is discussing state affairs with the courtiers, Liu Wu said: "Everyone, now that the rebellion has subsided, the world has been decided, but the emperor has no eyebrows on the throne, everyone says that this king has no qualifications to inherit the throne?"

"As the lord of Liang Guoying, the king has no one in the world to see the martial arts, and there are examples of the younger brother's throne in the past, and the king can ascend to the great treasure is the great luck of the country. His Royal Highness's sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and goatee doorman Gongsun Wei said first.

"Yes, Gongsun is right. He Gongsun Wei's best doorman Yang Sheng also agreed.

Immediately followed by a group of ministers and guests who greeted the horse, only General Liang Han Anguo was silent on the side, and King Liang saw it and asked: "General Han, why didn't you say a word, what is your opinion on this matter?"

"The king, this matter should be considered in the long run, the rule that the son inherits the father's throne has been set during the Gaozu period, and the younger brother succeeds the younger brother is a matter of the previous dynasty, and there is a lot of resistance to becoming a reality. ”

"Nonsense, didn't this king do the emperor's order, now let you say how it can be done, not to prove that it can't. ”

Han Anguo respectfully saluted Liu Wushi and said: "King, now the favorable condition for the king's succession is the queen mother, the queen mother loves the king deeply, and now you should send an envoy to Chang'an to meet the queen mother to understand the current situation in Chang'an, so as to get the first opportunity." ”

"Okay, that's right. Liu Wu glanced at Gongsun Yi and Yang Sheng and continued, "This king sent the two of you to Chang'an to meet the queen mother, don't forget to bring some of the jewels you took from the palace of Wu and give them to the emperor's wife and beauties, so that they can know the king's heart." ”

Gongsun smiled slyly: "No, we will definitely complete our mission." ”

Gongsun Wei and Yang Sheng came to Chang'an day and night, and came to Changle Palace with a familiar car, and sent a post to meet the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager Dou heard that her son Liu Wu had sent someone to come and was very excited and said: "Quick, invite them in." ”

Gongsun Wei and Yang Sheng bent down and walked into Changle Palace, and Gongsun Wei prostrate on the ground to greet the Queen Mother and said: "The Queen Mother is auspicious, and the two of us were sent by King Liang to greet the Queen Mother." ”

"Get up, stand up and speak. Empress Dowager Dou saw two people kneeling below with a hazy blurred eye, but from Gongsun Wei's voice, she heard that this person must be a sleek and tricky person, but after all, it was sent by her doting youngest son, and Aiwu and Wu kindly asked him to get up and talk back.

"Empress Dowager Xie, while King Liang sent us to greet him, he also asked us to bring some jewelry to greet the Empress Dowager and the ladies of **. Gongsun Wei said.

"Oh, it's hard for King Liang's heart, take it. ”

Yang Sheng waved his hand, and the entourage carried in more than a dozen large wooden boxes from outside the door, and carried the list, and the queen mother's confessor looked at the list and whispered in the queen mother's ear: "The queen mother, the jewelry sent by King Liang is worth a fortune." ”

"Oh, it's really good, it's still King Liang who thinks about everyone, and distributes these jewels to the concubines of **, and also lets them feel King Liang's heart. ”

"No. ”

Yang Sheng and Gongsun Yi were very proud, and Gongsun Wei continued: "King Liang misses the Queen Mother very much, and wanted to come in person, but the ancestral system is restricted, so he sent a small one to greet him." ”

"Hehehe, I'm too worried, King Liang is my own son, the emperor's younger brother, they are all a family, take the time to come to Chang'an son to visit his mother, there is nothing wrong with his younger brother visiting his brother, there is no need to stick to the ancestral system. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie, we will bring the words to King Liang. ”
