"Summoning the princes of the Kwantung clan to speed up to Chang'an?"

In Changle Palace, listening to the voice of his son Liu Ying, Lu Pheasant couldn't help but raise the corners of his eyebrows, and the grace on his face shattered in an instant.

"Why?!"

Seeing such a big reaction from her mother, Liu Ying couldn't help but subconsciously shrink her neck, and finally strengthened her courage, got up obediently, came behind Lu Pheasant, and gently pinched her mother's shoulder.

"The queen mother is a little restless, and she is careful."

As she spoke, Liu Ying did not forget to be busy with her hands.

"It has been more than a month since my father's death, and the funeral is nearing the end."

"I think it's time to summon all the emperor's brothers, Qi brothers, and the kings of Chu, Wu, and Changsha Dynasty Chang'an, and hold the national mourning ...... together."

"If not, I am afraid that people in the world will hear about it, and mistakenly think that the queen mother is not kind to her relatives, and even damage the reputation of the queen mother?"

At this moment, listening to his son's gentle voice explaining why, when he wanted to call the relatives of the Kwantung princes to come to Chang'an, Empress Lu's face no longer saw the kindness of the mother.

Instead, it is a reaction that can only occur on the face of an old official who has been immersed in the sea for many years and has a strong sense of smell.

- Caution and vigilance at all times!

"Do you know that in the summer and April, when Emperor Gao first collapsed, why didn't the queen mother mourn for the time being?"

"When the funeral is to be mourned, why did the queen mother send an order to the princes of Kwantung: No edict is allowed to leave the feudal country without permission, and those who violate the order will be considered to seek rebellion?"

Hearing Lu Pheasant's two questions, Liu Ying's face couldn't help but straighten, and between her eyebrows, there was a little seriousness.

"I don't mourn for the time being, but I am afraid that the incident will happen suddenly, and there will be a small chaos in the pass, and the court will not be prepared for the enemy."

"And those who forbid the princes of the Kwantung region to leave the feudal country, because the former emperor died, and the son succeeded to the throne not long ago, the position is not yet stable, and I am afraid that the princes of the Kwantung clan are waiting for the opportunity to cause chaos."

"Hmmm......"

Seeing that Liu Ying could see through his intentions, Lu Pheasant's worried look on his face decreased slightly, and only then did he really consider Liu Ying's suggestion.

"Summoning the princes of Kwantung to Chang'an, and the national mourning ......"

Even though he was a little reluctant in his heart, Lu Pheasant had to admit that his son Liu Ying's suggestion was quite feasible.

First of all, this move can make the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, Chang'an, including the court gradually settle down for more than a month since the death of Emperor Gao, and draw a smooth end to the first transfer of power in the Han Dynasty.

And from this incident, whether it is Lu Pheasant, who is the queen mother, or Liu Ying, who is the emperor, can harvest the benevolent name of 'treating concubines and clan relatives well', 'respecting friends Zhongji, and uncles'.

After all, no matter what you say, Liu Bang, the Taizu Gao Emperor who died, is the biological father of the princes who were sealed in Kanto; He is the elder brother of Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, and the uncle of Liu Bi, the king of Wu.

It is already too much for such a loved one to pass away, but not let the family participate in the funeral.

In other words, it is a consideration to 'prevent problems in the transition of power', and this matter can be reluctantly resolved.

But if you don't let people go to Chang'an to mourn, go to the grave, cry twice, and light two sticks of incense, it will be a bit too much.

Merely......

"Running in Chang'an, why should Ying'er be in a hurry?"

"In a few more days, it will be the first year of October, and the new emperor of Wu'er will succeed to the throne, and he should be amnesty."

"At that time, it is not impossible to summon the Kwantung princes to Chang'an?"

Seeing that Lu Pheasant didn't have too strong a sense of refusal, Liu Ying couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and she didn't hide her true intentions.

"What the queen mother said is reasonable, and it is indeed more appropriate to summon the Kwantung princes at the beginning of the year."

"Ran'er thinks that in this way, it is the queen's act of favoring the princes of Kanto, and I am afraid that outsiders will see it helplessly......"

As a mature political figure, Liu Ying said this, and Lu Pheasant had already reacted.

- If the concubines and imperial relatives of Kanto are summoned to make a pilgrimage to Chang'an now, then this matter is the benevolence of the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant and the Son of Heaven Liu Ying.

But if it is delayed until October, Liu Ying will change the first year of the Yuan Dynasty and call it again when the world is amnesty, and the meaning of this matter will become 'Lu Pheasant, Liu Ying's mother and son really can't drag it on, so they have no choice but to summon the Kwantung princes to Chang'an'.

The reason is very simple: the Son of Heaven died, and the new emperor succeeded to the throne at the beginning of the next year. Princes make a pilgrimage to offer loyalty - this is the etiquette system.

Even if Lü Pheasant didn't want to summon those husbands, relatives and sons of the Kanto to Chang'an in his life, a few months later, when Liu Ying changed the first year of the Yuan Dynasty and granted amnesty to the world, Lü Pheasant had no reason to prevent the Kwantung princes from making the pilgrimage to Chang'an.

In this way, instead of delaying these few more months and changing the nature of this matter from 'active gratitude' to 'passive helplessness', it is better to be generous and call it now.

Thinking of this, Lu Pheasant already had a plan in his heart, but even after acknowledging this matter in his heart, Lu Pheasant still didn't dare to completely relax his vigilance.

"Ying'er."

I saw Lu Pheasant pretending to pat the hand on his shoulder indifferently, and said in a steady tone: "Summoning the Kwantung princes to Chang'an, I'm afraid there is more than that?" ”

As he spoke, Lu Pheasant's heart was faintly tense, and he focused his attention on his senses, probing Liu Ying's reaction after hearing this.

- The man of the old Liu family, Lu Pheasant can't trust any of them!

Even if this person is the flesh that fell from his body......

"The queen mother's eyes are like torches."

Fortunately, at this time, Liu Ying's mind was not mature enough that even her mother Lu Pheasant was on guard, and she didn't think about it, so she told everything in her heart.

"The father and the emperor died, and the son came to the sacred without the crown, which is like walking on thin ice, and he dare not slack off."

"Fortunately, the queen mother and uncles are the backrests of the son, and the son can feel a little at ease."

"When Emperor Gao was still alive, he taught his children the 'three troubles' of the Han family."

"One said: the Northern Barbarian Huns; The second said: The local heroes are strong, and the third is the princes of the Kwantung clan! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ying's tone has a slight maturity that does not match her age, as well as a little solemnity.

"When the first emperor's father was still alive, he once said: Compared with the princes with different surnames, with the clan relatives as the princes, the Kanto region is slightly stable; However, after a few generations, I am afraid that it will also be the same as the princes with different surnames. ”

"Therefore, I think that the princes of the clan should be gracious and powerful, neither can they be favored and coquettish, nor can they not feel the grace of heaven and have a rebellious heart."

"One day, when the children are full-fledged, the power is in hand, the court treasury is solid, and the soldiers are strong, then Xu Tu will cut the domain and turn the princes' land into counties."

As she spoke, Liu Ying couldn't help but smile shyly.

"Ran'er has just ascended to the sacred, and his wings are not yet full, so he wants to take this opportunity to summon the princes of the clan to Chang'an, so it is the best policy to appease the princes of the clan and make the Kanto region settle down for a few years."

Hearing this, Lu Pheasant finally nodded with satisfaction, and chuckled and teased: "My son is strong~"

"Even if my son thinks good, it should be so."

As he spoke, Lu Pheasant gently beckoned to the Lang Guan, who was standing on the side of the hall.

"Ling Zongzheng drafted an edict to pass on the kings of the Kwantung region: Qi Wang Fei, Zhao Wang Ruyi, Dai Wang Heng, Liang Wang Hui, Huaiyang Wang You, Chu Wang Jiao, Wu Wang Bi, Changsha Wang Chen, since the day of the edict, set off to Chang'an, in order to go to the national funeral!"
