"Wait, welcome home~"

In the autumn and August of the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, Xinmao (twenty-eighth), Changle Palace, Changxin Palace.

Walking into the Changxin Hall under the attention of hundreds of officials and courtiers, Liu Ying couldn't help but take a deep breath and slowly spit it out.

"Whew~"

Speaking of which, today's court discussion is the first time for Liu Ying.

——This is the first time that Liu Ying's previous life and present life are combined, and in the absence of Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant, he held a court meeting alone in Changle Palace.

In her previous life, Liu Ying's nine-year traversal career, the first year was confined in the Taigong Palace in Weiyang Palace, and the next year she basically did not move her nest in the Phoenix Palace.

When Liu Bang died, Liu Ying succeeded to the throne as emperor, and the regent Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant moved to the imperial palace Changle, while Liu Ying stayed in the harem Weiyang.

In those seven years of emperor's career, Liu Ying didn't say that he held a court meeting alone, and even Lu Pheasant was summoned to Changle to attend the court meeting held by his wife Lu Pheasant, which was a rare good thing.

More often, Lu Pheasant threw Liu Ying in Weiyang Palace to 'study' on the grounds that the Son of Heaven was young, and he alone summoned courtiers and hundreds of officials to discuss major affairs in the court in Changle Palace.

And in this life, after personally experiencing the 'Yichu turmoil' in the past period, Liu Ying found something strange: compared with her previous life, her mother Lu Pheasant's attitude towards herself seems to be more lenient?

"The renovation of Zheng Guoqu is the first priority!"

"The difficulties of forced labor are solved, and the rest, such as how and when to renovate, are all trivial."

"My son can go to Changle alone, and the end of the renovation of Zheng Guoqu, as long as the intention of the Shaofu is the mainstay, supplemented by the discussion of hundreds of officials and courtiers."

Thinking back to what the old lady said when she refused to accompany Liu Ying to participate in the court meeting in the early morning, even if she felt a little nervous about this unprecedented 'court meeting of the prince acting alone', Liu Ying couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Calming the tension in her heart a little, Liu Ying walked up the imperial stairs that symbolized supreme authority step by step, and came to take the low couch used by Liu Bang, the son of heaven, and slowly turned around.

After looking at the people in the hall for a while, Liu Ying found that compared with the usual court discussions, the number of hundreds of officials in the Changxin Hall today has changed slightly.

In the past, if Liu Bang, the son of heaven, was in Chang'an, the court was divided into civil and military officials and sat on the east and west sides of the palace.

Liu Bang, the son of heaven, sat on the royal couch, sat in the north and faced south, facing the courtiers in the palace.

If Liu Bang is not there, the hundred officials will still sit opposite each other, but Prime Minister Xiao He will sit on the right side of the middle of the imperial stairs, also facing the courtiers.

——Sitting in the middle of the imperial staircase, it is for the court, although Xiao He is the main minister, Xiao He is still a minister;

On the right, it is because of the Han Shang right, respect the right; The prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, and when the Son of Heaven is not there, he is the most respected of the court.

And today, when Liu Bang, the Son of Heaven, is not in Chang'an, Prime Minister Xiao He is the main court, and Liu Ying, the prince of the supervising country, is present, there are two more seats on the royal steps between the royal couch and the courtiers.

One of them is the seat of Prime Minister Xiao He's 'Acting Lord', which is still in the middle of the imperial staircase, still facing the hundred officials, but not on the right, but deliberately on the left.

The other place is the same as in the past, where Xiao He was sitting, in the right position, but slightly higher than the middle of the imperial staircase where Xiao He was sitting.

Seeing this, Liu Ying only thought about it for a moment, and then understood: the position that was slightly higher than Xiao He and located on the right side should be his seat.

This is also normal.

Even if the prince is a 'king', he is also a prince!

Even if Liu Ying is the crown prince, or even the prince who is theoretically in charge of the government, when the Son of Heaven Liu Bang is still alive, no matter how much Liu Ying is, he can't sit on the royal couch that symbolizes the authority of the Son of Heaven!

For this kind of details related to the superiority and inferiority and the bottom line of order, Liu Ying can see it clearly.

Thinking about this, Liu Ying tidied up her clothes one by one, bent her upper body slightly, and bowed solemnly to the courtiers and officials in the palace.

When she straightened up, Liu Ying's face was already covered with a warm smile that made people feel like a spring breeze.

"The father and emperor drove the expedition in person, and ordered the lonely generation to be the supervisor of the country, and to master the affairs of the central and large affairs."

"However, the lonely years are not full of teeth, and the years are not enough to be crowned, and suddenly taking on such a heavy responsibility is like walking on thin ice, and I am afraid of myself."

Speaking this in a calm tone, Liu Ying turned to the side slightly, bowed to Xiao Hewei, and then aimed at the loyal ministers in the hall again.

"Lonely political affairs, fear of chaos in the country's policy; Therefore, today's court discussion is still dominated by Xiao Xiang, and he only thinks he is listening. ”

"The princes can be as usual, the court discussion when the father is not there and Xiao Xiang is in charge of the government, everything is as it is."

After saying that, Liu Ying couldn't help but bow her hand again, carefully walked down a few steps to the top of the imperial stairs, came to her seat, and bowed her hand to Xiao He a little before quietly kneeling down.

Hearing this, Xiao He couldn't help but turn sideways in a little surprise.

Seeing Liu Ying sitting on the back of him, a few steps higher than himself, Xiao He couldn't help but smile lightly, got up and bowed his hand to Liu Ying.

"There is an order at home, and the minister does not dare to disobey."

Hearing Xiao He's words, Liu Ying only smiled gently, and spread out the blank bamboo slips that had been prepared in front of her, and really put on a posture of listening.

Seeing this, even though the courtiers and officials in the palace questioned Liu Ying's statement that 'I was just listening', they finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The originally slightly weird atmosphere in the hall was gradually relaxed because of Liu Ying's humble posture.

Seeing that Liu Ying didn't seem to be a fake, and really looked like an observer, Xiao He thought about it for a while, and then turned around to face the hundreds of officials inside.

"Before His Majesty set out on the expedition, he had ordered the prince to temporarily serve as the prisoner of the country, and entrusted him with the renovation of the water conservancy in Guanzhong."

"Today's court discussion, the ministers Cao Dang expressed his views on the renovation and protection of the Guanzhong Water Conservancy."

When Xiao He said this opening remark with a solemnity that was almost engraved into his temperament, today's court meeting officially kicked off.

It's just that it is different from Liu Ying's expectation that the courtiers and hundreds of officials are vying to come out of Bannabai: after Xiao He said that opening remarks, the first person to stand up from the courtiers was just a petty official with a copper official seal and a black ribbon around his waist, and his rank was between 600 and 1,000 stones?

Liu Ying was thinking about it, and the little official came to the center of the hall and bowed his hands to Liu Ying and Xiao He in the direction of the imperial steps.

"The ministers of the Shaofu are leaving, I would like to pay homage to my family and Prime Minister Xiao."

Hearing that the petty official reported to his home, Liu Ying suddenly realized and nodded slightly.

Shaofu Cheng, rank Qianshi, is the deputy of Shaofu, there are six people.

After saluting, one of the young mansions who called himself 'Li' straightened his waist, as if to leave a good impression in front of Liu Ying.

Seeing Liu Ying looking at him with a warm smile, the young man couldn't help but be secretly happy, but he didn't forget his business.

"The water conservancy in Guanzhong, the canals and streams in many rural areas, and their maintenance and repair can be done by the county officials."

"And the huge water conservancy in Guanzhong needs to be discussed by the court to repair and protect, only one of Zheng Guoqu."

"Today, the family inherits His Majesty's order to protect the water conservancy in Guanzhong, and the ministers think that Zheng Guoqu should be the first."

Loudly said the wording that Yang Chengyan had explained before, and the Shaofu Cheng gave up his hand again and quietly returned to his train.

On the royal steps, feeling the atmosphere of the court discussion in the hall, Liu Ying's face was also slowly full of interest.
