"On behalf of Wang Chenheng, I would like to worship the Queen Mother, and I wish the Queen Mother a long time~"

"On behalf of the Marquis of Yangling, I would like to worship the Queen Mother......"

Not long after Lu Pheasant returned to the apse, Fu Kuan, the acting king, took his king Liu Heng to the apse where Lu Pheasant was.

At this time, Lu Pheasant's body had completely lost the powerful aura when handling government affairs, and he only lay on his side on the soft couch, and the woman dressed as a concubine behind him gently kneaded his shoulders.

When Xiao Liu Heng, who was nearly seven years old at the time, appeared in the hall, Lu Pheasant obviously felt that the strength on his shoulders was loosened, and after a while, he returned to normal.

In this regard, Lu Pheasant did not show any dissatisfaction, only smiled indifferently, patted the little hand on the shoulder gently, and still kept kneading.

"I have to see my son, why didn't Bo Ji come forward, so let's take a look?"

Hearing Lu Pheasant's words, the young man in the hall with a gold seal on his waist and a purple ribbon raised his head, and his eyes turned red in a moment.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, including the acting prime minister Fu Kuan, the young man is the acting king Liu Heng, who is at the highest level of the twenty-first rank of the Han Dynasty and has an extremely noble status!

But in fact, at this time, Liu Heng, the acting king, was only an eight-year-old boy, just a child......

It is true that compared with Liu Fei, the eldest brother who was crowned King of Qi seven years ago and Linzi of the country, Liu Heng, the acting king who was only crowned the king of the country last year, has not left Chang'an for too long.

But for a teenager who is only eight years old, grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and can only rely on his biological mother for his life, he has not seen his mother for more than a year, and he is still a little cruel after all......

In Jinyang, the capital of the dynasty, Liu Heng thought day and night not about how powerful the country would be, nor what a grand career he would make, but just to see his mother.

Now, Liu Heng's mother, who he misses day and night, is not far in front of him, holding back the tears in the corners of his eyes, kneading his shoulders for Lu Pheasant, how can Liu Heng not be excited?

Looking at the urgency in Liu Heng's eyes that could not be concealed, Lu Pheasant also chuckled and nodded secretly.

"Ah Heng, come forward."

As he spoke, Lu Pheasant stretched out his hand to his shoulder again, gently pulled Bo Ji behind him in front of him, and chuckled in the direction of Liu Heng.

It was only at this time that Bo Ji bowed to Lu Pheasant with gratitude, walked down the imperial steps, took his son's hand, and didn't care about narrating his thoughts to Liu Heng at all, and walked straight to Lu Pheasant.

"Don't you thank the Queen Mother?"

A gentle and stern kiss made Liu Heng's face stagnant for a moment, and only when he felt the pressure on his shoulders did Liu Heng fall to his knees.

"Son-in-law thanks to my mother......"

As he spoke, Liu Heng bowed his head in a proper manner, waiting for Lu Pheasant's voice to come into his ears.

Looking at the mother and son in front of him, one kneeling and bowing his head, and the other kneeling and kowtowing, Lu Pheasant couldn't help but sigh with nostalgia.

"Family, you don't have to be so formal~"

"Get up."

When Xiao Liu Heng was pulled up by his mother and stood respectfully in front of Lu Pheasant for a moment, Lu Pheasant smiled again.

"Come to Chang'an, Ah Heng will be convenient for staying in the palace for a few more days."

With just these words, Bo Ji, who was suddenly provoked, suddenly raised his head, and looked at Lu Pheasant with a little pleading in his eyes.

But seeing Lu Pheasant shook his head with a wry smile, he said: "Bo Ji has been serving me for a long time, and in the past few days, I have talked about the mother-son friendship with Ah Heng~"

Hearing this, the worried look on Bo Ji's face finally disappeared, and with a grateful kowtow, she led her son out of the apse quietly.

And after the mother and son retreated, Fu Kuan, the acting prime minister, was signaled by Lu Pheasant and stayed in the palace......

※※※※※※※※※※

"How is the acting king Yu Jinyang?"

"Have you ever studied a book?

After Liu Heng's mother and son left, Lu Pheasant's temperament naturally returned to the seriousness of governing the government on weekdays.

"Empress Dowager."

Seeing this, Fu Kuanzi didn't dare to say much, and said bluntly: "On weekdays, the acting king and Yuchen are quite deferential, and they are only occasionally a few days, and the acting king thinks of his mother, so that the calligraphy is slightly deserted......"

replied indifferently, Fu Kuan couldn't help but secretly slander in his heart.

"The acting king is only eight years old, how can the queen mother be so ......?"

For the deep meaning implied in Lu Pheasant's words, how could Fu Kuan not understand?

Rather than asking, 'Does Liu Heng study obediently', but rather asking His Royal Highness, who is only eight years old, whether he has some 'grand ambitions'!

What 'hard work'~

What a 'well-read'~

What, loved by the people and supported by all the people......

Fortunately, Fu Kuan is alert enough, and Liu Heng has indeed been 'duty' enough since he became a country in Jinyang last year, and Fu Kuan can easily deal with Lu Pheasant's questions.

Sure enough, after hearing Fu Kuan's reply, Lu Pheasant nodded with satisfaction, as if talking to himself, and as if deliberately saying: "In this way, after the court ceremony is completed, the acting king should be able to ...... his country with his mother."

"The years have passed suddenly, and the Bo Ji of the past is now the queen mother's ......"

Hearing this, Fu Kuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, bowed slightly, but did not speak again.

Seeing this, Lu Pheasant didn't say much, straightened his face, and asked, "How is Daibei?" ”

Obviously, no matter how stingy Lu Pheasant is, he has not forgotten his role as the 'Queen Mother of the Linchao'.

For today's Han family, the most important thing is the defense of the north.

In particular, the two countries of Yan and Dai, whose land directly borders the grassland, are even more important!

Seeing Lu Pheasant asking about business, Fu Kuan couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Empress Dowager: On behalf of the northern border defense, everything is as it is."

"Today's generation of the country, north to Loufu, Ma Yi line, no Hu Qi; Further north of Taiyuan, the minister is a little more powerful, only Shanwu, Pingcheng, Wuzhou three places, have to be stationed on behalf of the pawn ......"

Hearing this, even if Lu Pheasant was dissatisfied, he could only forcibly swallow the reproach that rushed to his mouth, and immediately sighed bitterly.

Taiyuan County is an area that is now the least belongings of the Han Dynasty in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Taiyuan starts from the Great Wall of Zhao in the south to the Great Wall of Qin in the north, and is one of the few areas in the territory of the Han Dynasty that contains grasslands and plains.

——Taiyuan County is not in the north, it is the grassland!

Such an area containing the dividing line between the grassland and the Central Plains is not so much the forefront of the northern defense line of the Han dynasty as the détente deliberately left by the Han and Hungarian sides.

If it weren't for the victory of Emperor Gao Liu Bang in the second half of the Battle of Pingcheng five years ago, he pushed the Xiongnu north to the north of the Great Wall of Qin, let alone Taiyuan County, I am afraid that the line of Mayi and Loufu in the area of the Great Wall of Zhao would become the border of the Han and Hungarian countries!

It is not easy for the Han family to be able to theoretically put Taiyuan into the territory, and with the current strength of the Han family, it is far from being able to form a greater control over the Taiyuan area.

The country was the same as before, and Lu Pheasant's attention shifted to another vassal state bordering the Xiongnu.

"Yan King Lu Xuan, where is it now?"
