Liu Rong came to the greenhouse hall, walked straight in, and saw Liu Qi sitting in the middle of the hall reading the recital, Liu Rong saluted and said, "Rong'er greets my father." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Liu Qi raised his head, saw Liu Rong, and immediately stood up and said, "Why isn't the prince studying in Juxian Hall today, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Rong'er came to ask her father for something. ”

"Oh, the prince has to say something. ”

"Father, Rong'er's maternal grandparents' family has been executed, this case is over, I ask my father to let Rong'er's mother go, Rong'er can't lose her mother anymore. When Liu Rong said this, he fell to his knees, and tears fell to the ground like pearls with broken threads.

Liu Qi threw the piece in his hand on the table and suddenly said angrily: "Prince, your task now is to study carefully, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of the court, your father has his own ruling, and when you grow up, you will naturally understand your father's good intentions." ”

"Father, you can agree to Rong'er's request. ”

"Hurry up and retreat, my father will think about it. ”

At this time, the two confessors next to him walked up to Liu Rong and helped Liu Rong up, and said softly: "Prince, please stop your sadness, or please go back to Tai** to study, Your Majesty has been tired enough these days, don't disturb Your Majesty anymore." ”

Liu Rong then shouted twice: "Father, father." ”

Liu Qi waved his hand, and the two confessors forcibly dragged the prince Liu Rong out of the greenhouse hall, and Liu Rong staggered towards Tai** as if he had lost his soul.

Dou Ying met Liu Rong at the gate of Tai**, and immediately said: "Prince, where have you been, let the minister look for a long time." ”

Liu Rong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "My father is no longer the father of the past, and then Rong'er's relatives will die in the hands of my father one by one." ”

Dou Ying hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "What the prince said, we must stay calm, the most important thing now is to keep the position of the prince, only in this way can we have a chance to turn over." ”

Liu Rong replied disdainfully: "Taifu, Rong'er's relatives are dead, what's the use of wanting the position of prince?"

"Rong'er, you have to wake up quickly, there are many people staring at your position now. ”

"Hahaha, who wants to take it, now I, Liu Rong, am not uncommon to the position of the crown prince. ”

Dou Ying hurriedly covered Liu Rong's mouth, forcibly dragged Liu Rong into the Tai** Juxian Palace, and said softly: "Rong'er, don't say such things in the future, have you forgotten what the minister gave you before, the eldest husband should take the affairs of the four seas as his own responsibility, be an outstanding Shengming Emperor, and don't sink into family trivial matters and can't extricate himself." ”

Liu Rong sneered a few times when he heard this: "Taifu, for the position of the crown prince, is it true that the relatives are going away one by one, I'm afraid Rong'er won't be able to wait for that time, Rong'er is really not the material to be a great king." ”

Dou Ying hurriedly continued: "The prince is gentle and elegant, lenient to others, he must be a generation of Ming Jun in the future, don't give up on yourself because of this turmoil." ”

"Taifu, let's go with the flow, the crown prince, who can't even guarantee his mother's safety, what can he do if he inherits the throne. ”

"Prince, the minister does not allow you to belittle yourself like this, there are ministers, if the prince can successfully inherit the throne in the future, he will do a lot. Dou Ying was almost mad by Liu Rong's low language, and couldn't help but reprimand loudly.

"Taifu, the emperor is invited. Suddenly, a confessor hurriedly walked into the Tai** report.

"Oh, you're so anxious, what's the urgency?" said Dou Ying, leaning closer to the confessor.

"I don't know, I only saw that the three princes and nine kings were all present, and they discussed for a long time in the greenhouse hall, or the Taiwei Zhou Yafu proposed to pass the Taifu to the greenhouse hall to meet the emperor. ”

Dou Ying pondered for a moment and said: "So that's the case, the prince, please stay in Tai** and study carefully, and the minister will definitely keep you safe." ”

After Dou Ying finished speaking, he followed the confessor and walked out, leaving the depressed Liu Rong to sit in the Juxian Hall and be silent.

Dou Ying walked into the greenhouse hall quickly, and saw the three princes and nine Qing Mu Na under the hall on both sides, looking at Dou Ying with straight eyes, Dou Ying looked himself up and down, left and right, and did not find any abnormal phenomenon, raised his head and walked forward, cleared his throat and said: "The minister sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

Liu Qi saw Dou Ying was silent for a long time and said, "Dou Aiqing, don't be polite and sit on the side." ”

"No. ”

"Taiwei Zhou, tell the prince what happened just now. ”

"No. Zhou Yafu turned to Dou Ying and said, "Taifu, just now Your Majesty discussed with all the ministers to abolish the current prince, because the matter is very important, so please come over and discuss it." ”

Dou Ying immediately asked rhetorically, "So, what does Taiwei Zhou think about this matter?"

"Don't hide it from the prince, the opinion of the foolish people is that since the prince was established, he has been docile and bowing, diligent in studying, concerned about state affairs, and has not made any major mistakes, and it is really inappropriate to abolish it suddenly. ”

Dou Ying heard this righteous and stern words and said: "Your Majesty, what the Taiwei said is correct, the minister believes that His Majesty has no son-in-law, and the crown prince Liu Rong, as the eldest son of the emperor, is in line with the rules set by Gaozu that the heir is not passed on to the elder, and the elder is not passed on to the young, and the minister often serves the prince around, knowing that the prince is gentle and humble, treats people kindly, is diligent in learning, and has a degree of work, and is really the best candidate to inherit the throne. ”

Liu Qi heard what Dou Ying said in a reasonable way, and Taiwei Zhou Yafu also did not change his original intention, although he was unhappy, but he was really helpless, and coughed lightly and said: "Cough, cough, what Taiwei and Taifu said has their own reasons, but national affairs are not so simple, since you can't understand my thoughts for a while, then let's discuss it later, and you Aiqing will disperse." ”

Liu Qi's words terminated the discussion, and came directly to rest, the three princes and nine ministers bowed to Liu Qi and then exited the greenhouse hall in turn, Taifu Douying walked at the end, his steps were steady and powerful, and his confident spirit overflowed his body.

Liu Qi closed his eyes and thought about it, the Li clan has been wiped out, the crown prince is his eldest son, but it is also the blood of the Li family, whether he will be jealous of him after 10,000 years, whether he will be used by the remnants of the Li family, whether the Han family can be stable for a long time, these things have to be prevented, but it is a pity that these pedantic ministers under his command can't understand their intentions, the more Liu Qi thinks about it, the more chaotic he becomes, he suddenly stands up and shouts: "Someone." ”

"Your Majesty. One of the confessors immediately ran up to answer the word.

"Drive Changle Palace. ”

"No. ”

Liu Qi came to the Yongshou Hall of Changle Palace with his troubles, and the Empress Dowager Dou, who was playing with the maids, heard Liu Qi's footsteps and immediately straightened up, coughed lightly and said, "Is the emperor coming up?"

Liu Qishili said: "Mother, I can't hide anything from you, it's a child." ”

"Listening to the footsteps, the emperor doesn't seem to be in a good mood?"

"Mother, your ears are better than your eyes, and the child is here to relax because he is bored. ”

"If there is anything difficult, I will tell the old woman. ”

Liu Qi glanced at the left and right of the Empress Dowager Dou, and the maids retreated with interest, Liu Qi continued: "Mother knows that the Li clan has disturbed the court and has been corrected by the child, but now the remnants of the Li clan still exist, in order to eliminate future troubles, I want to abolish the position of Prince Liu Rong, but the three princes and nine kings oppose it in unison, and even the mother's nephew Dou Ying supports the prince categorically, which is really a tricky thing." ”

Empress Dowager Dou pondered for a long time and replied: "There are factors that violate the stability of the Han family, we must eliminate them, the crown prince Rong'er is still young, and it is common sense that he is easy to be used by villains, and it is okay for the emperor to abolish it, but to ensure Rong'er's safety, he is not only the prince, but also the emperor's son, my old woman's own grandson." ”

"What my mother said is very true, I will notice this, and with my mother's support behind me, I am not afraid of anything. ”

"Hehehe, Dou Ying is smart on the outside, pedantic on the inside, it's not a problem, I'll talk to him. ”

"Thank you for your mother's fulfillment, and I waited for the New Year to announce the abolition of the prince's edict. ”

"The emperor must be thoughtful and let most of the courtiers agree, and the opinions of the important ministers must be taken into account, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up the trouble. ”

"I see. ”

In the blink of an eye, the new year came, and the abolition of the prince was put on the agenda again, Liu Qi privately did the work of most of the courtiers, only Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying insisted on the view that the prince could not be abolished. ”

Taifu Douying suddenly heard Zhou Yafu's change, and was very annoyed: "Taiwei is not enough to work with." He turned around and walked out of the Xuanmuro Hall.

Seeing this situation, Liu Qi made up his mind to issue an edict: "Since the crown prince was canonized, he has been close to evil people, not listening to benevolence and righteousness, alienating gentlemen, and being intimate with the group...... I learned from the past and the present, did not forget the lesson of establishing a long time, and taught for a long time, but the talent was stupid and did not change, considering the stability of the Han family, I specially abolished the position of Prince Liu Rong and demoted him to the king of Linjiang. ”

When Dou Ying saw this edict, she couldn't afford to be sick, and when her health improved, she told Liu Qi about her sick leave, and she went from seclusion to Nanshan in Lantian County without asking about political affairs.
