"Prime Minister Hou Chen, Shaofu Minister Chengyan, see Jiashang."

When Liu Ying walked into the guest hall of the Marquis Mansion, she saw Xiao He and Yang Chengyan arching their hands with doubts on their faces.

After thinking about it secretly, Liu Ying also gave up his hand a little in return, so he stepped forward without any scruples and sat down on the main seat given by Xiao He.

It stands to reason that in front of Prime Minister Xiao He, even the prince has absolutely no reason to sit on the throne.

Because of the prince, the status of the Han family today is 'clan relative', and there is a high probability that he will be crowned as a prince in the future.

The princes and kings have a golden seal and purple ribbon, and the prime minister thinks that he is the first of the hundred officials, ranking among the three dukes, and he is more than the princes and kings, and he also has a golden seal and purple ribbon.

Judging from the rank ratio and rank, the prime minister seems to be at the same level as the princes and kings, and if you add the 'clan' status of the princes and kings, the prime minister seems to be even lower.

But in fact, the status of the prime minister is not only lower than that of the princes and kings, but even much higher!

Because now the Han family has gradually formed the practice of 'princes and princes and princes', that is, most of the ministers of the princes and princes are the teachers of their own kings while being royal ministers.

In the context of the universal value of 'being a teacher for one day and a father for life', not to mention the prime minister of Chang'an Central Committee, even the respective ministers of the princes and kings have a stable position over the princes and kings.

Probably: I call you king, you call me teacher, and we both have our own opinions.

Since the ministers of the princes and kings have a higher status than the princes and kings themselves, let alone Xiao He, the prime minister who rules the world and ranks ten thousand stones.

Therefore, if the person who came to the door today is not Liu Ying, but Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, or other princes, not to mention sitting on the head, even whether he can enter this guest hall depends on whether Xiao He is willing to see it!

And when the crown prince Liu Ying came to visit, Prime Minister Xiao He did not have the privilege of 'closing the door'.

The reason for this is none other than the crown prince, who is the foundation of the country and the future son of heaven.

No matter how powerful the prime minister is, he will be a minister after all; And no matter how young the prince is, he is also a quasi-monarch.

Merely......

"What is the intention of the prince here?"

At this moment, this question not only bothered Xiao He, but also made Yang Chengyan on the side feel puzzled.

An Ran sat in the first place, seeing that the two of them did not speak for a long time, Liu Ying did not show any embarrassment on his face, and only looked at the decoration of the living hall with a light smile.

Seeing Liu Ying's posture, even if he was reluctant to take the initiative to speak, Xiao He had to bite the bullet and get up from his seat again.

"At home."

Hearing this, Liu Ying hurriedly retracted the scattered attention, and hurriedly got up as if flattered and bowed to Xiao Heyi.

"Does the prime minister have any advice?"

As soon as the words came out, Xiao He's face suddenly became embarrassed.

- You yourself came uninvited, but asked me what advice I had?

Secretly slandered himself, Xiao He finally had to worship again.

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

"I just don't know that today, my family came to the cold house, but I have something important and want to discuss with my ministers?"

As he spoke, Xiao He did not forget to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and barely maintained the respect on his face.

This, that is, Xiao He has a good temper, if he changes those short-tempered heroes, even if he does not dare Liu Ying to go out, he will inevitably have to show his face.

But when Liu Ying heard this, she seemed to suddenly remember something important, and slapped her head suddenly.

"Hey."

"If the prime minister doesn't mention it, Gu Du almost forgets."

"Don't blame the prime minister, don't blame ......"

While speaking, Liu Ying took out a piece of silk cloth wrapped in something from her arms, got up and came to Xiao He, and handed over the silk cloth along with the contents of it.

"The Emperor Taishang died, and his father was benevolent and filial, insisting on staying in Liyang Palace to guard filial piety, and sending the prime minister, Shaofu, and the queen mother and the lonely four people to turn around first."

As he spoke, he sat back and looked back, and Liu Ying picked up the tea bowl in his hand with an indifferent face.

"Now, the acting minister Chen Feng will be in chaos in the north, and the war is imminent."

"The father and the emperor sent the prime minister and the young government to return first, which should be a matter of war preparation."

"However, my father ordered Lone to turn around first, and Lone was puzzled."

As she spoke, Liu Ying didn't forget to make a really confused expression, and after a while, she changed her head again.

"Thinking and meditating alone, is it to finally understand the will of the father, or is it to send the orphan and the Cheng to return to the same place, and familiarize themselves with the state affairs by the side of the prime minister?"

"Therefore, I came here to ask the prime minister for advice: this year's autumn harvest, Guanzhong may not be abundant, prime minister, how to deal with the boiling grain prices in Guanzhong?"

Listening to Liu Ying's vivid description, Xiao He's face gradually became mixed.

As for the reason why the crown prince Liu Ying and the queen Lu Pheasant were driven back to Chang'an ahead of schedule, Xiao He knew it well.

It's just that the big war is imminent, and now Liu Bang wants to take advantage of this to cultivate party henchmen for Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, and pave the way for the abolition of the reserve in the future.

Xiao He originally thought that during this time, the attention of Lu Pheasant and Liu Ying's mother and son should be focused on how to deal with, or prevent Liu Bang from abolishing the reserve.

It is no wonder that when Liu Ying came uninvited, Xiao He and Yang Chengyan were really a little uncertain about Liu Ying's intentions.

When Liu Ying said, 'My father asked me to come back, maybe to let me be by the prime minister's side and learn how to govern the country', Xiao He's heart tightened slightly.

- Could it be that the queen has already thought of a way to break the situation, which makes the prince so fearless, not worried about the instability of the storage position, and even has the leisure to come to the door elegantly to learn the way of governing the country and supervising the country?

Just as Xiao He hesitated, Liu Ying's last question suddenly made Xiao He's face grim.

The reason is very simple: Liu Ying said that she was 'learning at home', but from her tone, she couldn't hear the humility that 'asking for advice' should have!

The expression on his face when questioning did not look like asking for advice at all, but it brought more meaning of asking the teacher to ask for sin.

"Corn is not abundant?"

Murmuring suspiciously, Xiao He lowered his head, put the silk cloth in his hand on the desk, and slowly spread it out.

Then, a short, thin, and extremely sparse millet seedling was picked up by Xiao He.

"The color has been green and yellow, and it is ripe; However, the seedlings are weak and the fruits are few, and they cannot bend their stalks ......"

Xiao He was talking to himself to the millet seedling, and he heard Liu Ying's voice that couldn't hear the anger, which came into Xiao He's ears again.

"Yesterday, the lonely car from Xinfeng to Chang'an, no opinion on the acres of land along the road, its millet or not strong."

"Lonely is very strange, so I got out of the car and took this seedling for the prime minister to see."

Saying that, Liu Ying finally sipped the tea soup in the bowl slightly, moistened her throat, and said as if talking to herself: "If you remember correctly, yesterday, Lonely Xinfeng turned back to Chang'an, and the places along the way are all Weinan?" ”

"Tsk."

"Yesterday's acres of fields, millet seedlings can be like this."

"If Guanzhong is the same, this year's autumn harvest, Guanzhong is afraid that the yield per mu will only be two stones......"

After that, Liu Ying finally put down the tea bowl in his hand, raised his head with a cold face, and looked at Xiao He not far away.

"If the rice and grain harvested in the autumn are not abundant, the people will not be hungry, and the price of grain should be boiling, and even the people will eat each other."

"I don't know what the prime minister wants to do to solve the situation of the lack of food in this year?"
