drove the old stubborn Niu Wang Mausoleum out of the palace, and let the furnishings in the palace be removed, Liu Ying returned to the Xuanshu Hall with a full heart.

Almost at the moment when Liu Ying stepped into the Xuanshu Hall and sat on the imperial couch, Chuntuo's figure also came out from the side.

"Your Majesty······"

"How?!"

"Have you ever found out who is the rumor of Chang'an today?"

Liu Ying couldn't wait to ask, undoubtedly taking this matter very seriously, and Chuntuo didn't make any more detours.

"Your Majesty."

"The rumor that 'His Majesty is in a hurry to regency' in the news from outside the palace seems to have originated from Shang Guanli······"

Cautiously saying a word, Chun Tuo did not forget to raise his head and look at the change in Liu Ying's expression before continuing: "And this matter is not the work of three or two people. ”

"From the beginning, but the Marquis of Zhongshui, the Marquis of Chiquan, the Marquis of Du Yan and other five people privately talked in the mansion about 'Emperor Gao's edict, the Queen Mother is afraid to obey it'."

"After a few days, this statement was heard by Taohou Xiang, Jufang Houya, etc., and then it was first spread among the nobles of the Yuanxun."

"After that, when the Marquis of Naihu heard about this at the feast, he was furious and said: This rumor is also spreading!"

Only after half a day, the Marquis closed his house and never saw any more visitors; The Marquis of Jiancheng said: When to be crowned and when to regency, it should be cut off by His Majesty, and no one should talk about this matter except His Majesty······"

After saying that, Chuntuo quietly bowed his hand again, retreated to the side slightly, and dressed up the clay statue again.

On the imperial couch, recalling the situation reported by Chun Tuo just now, Liu Ying's face was just anxious, and he became gloomy in an instant.

What is the truth of the facts, Chuntuo did not say it, or maybe it was not ascertained, so it should not be said too certainly.

But from the identities of these parties and the development of the entire rumor, it is not difficult for Liu Ying to judge: who is behind this incident.

At the beginning, the 'five people, including Zhongshui Hou, Chiquan Hou, and Du Yanhou', naturally refer to Zhongshui Hou Lu Matong, Du Yan Hou Wang Peng, Nieyang Hou Lu Sheng, and Chiquan Hou Yang Xi and Wu Fang Hou Yang Wu brothers.

- That's right, it was by the Wujiang River seven years ago that Xiang Yu's body was divided, and each of them was divided into five people who were Chehou.

These five people, even if they put aside the low force of '2,000 households per person', not to mention the situation of 'all idle', just the fact that 'four of them are Zhou Lu's old department' is enough to show that at the very beginning, these five people talked about the topic of 'Liu Ying's change or not to be crowned pro-government as soon as possible', it is unlikely that it was premeditated.

Therefore, the recent rumor that the hot 'young son of heaven is eager to regency' in Chang'an City is most likely mentioned by chance when the five brothers are idle and have nothing to do, and they brag and fart.

But after these five people, the development of events has some obvious traces of human manipulation.

- It is true that Lu Matong, Lu Sheng and other five people are all the lords of the Marquis of Che;

But today's Chang'an, the most lacking is probably Chehou!

Standing on the wall of Weiyang Palace, every time you smash three bricks outside the palace, you will almost inevitably hit a Chehou!

After all, except for the nobles, ordinary people dare not approach the palace when they are idle, and ordinary people who are busy with life are unlikely to have time to walk around or stay.

and Lu Matong and the other five people, each of whom has no more than 1,500 or 600 households; The highest Yang Xi has only 1,900 households, and as for the lowest Yang Wu, there are only 700 households!

Compared with ordinary people, or the local 2,000 stones, the Marquis of Che is indeed a noble title full of gold;

However, in Chang'an, Lu Matong and other five people, who are not very popular with the meritorious marquis group, are not very popular with the meritorious marquis group, and the ministers of the DPRK and the central government often have seven or eight thousand households, or even tens of thousands of households.

In particular, the titles of these five people were obtained by dividing up Xiang Yu's corpse, which made these five people at the bottom of the chain of contempt of the 'Yuan Xun Meritorious Marquis' group.

Therefore, the talk of these five people, especially the private words that they talked about casually when they got together, should not have been 'heard by Taohou Xiang, Ju Fang Houya, etc.) so quickly.

This is the first doubt;

The second suspicion is even clearer, which makes Liu Ying clear at a glance.

——The identities of the two parties, as well as Liu Xiang and Yongya!

Taohou Liu Xiang, whose real name is Xiang Xiang, is originally a member of the overlord Xiang Yu clan.

In the second year of the Han Dynasty, Xiang Xiang led the Chu army to Dingtao, but was defeated by the Han general Guan Ying, Xiang Xiang was captured, and had no choice but to submit to Liu Han;

In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, the overlord Xiang Yu Wujiang killed himself, the world was one, and the Han king Liu Bang was the emperor, and immediately pardoned all the Xiang clansmen, and gave Xiang Xiang Liu the surname, in order to 'survive and die', succeeding the Xiang clan's Zonghuo;

In the spring of this year, when the first emperor Liu Bang was dying, he made meritorious contributions in the process of quelling the Yingbu rebellion.

As for the rewards of the rest of the meritorious soldiers, they were deliberately suppressed by Liu Bang at that time and left to Liu Ying to personally reward them.

Therefore, the identity and political label of Taohou Liu Xiang can almost be said to be clearly written on his face.

——After the death of the overlord Xiang Yu, the old Liu family specially stood up, in order to boast in the eyes of the world that they 'absolutely do not hold grudges' chastity archway!

In the vast majority of feudal eras in later generations, there is also a similar such a chastity archway, called: Yan Shenggong.

What is the ingredient of Liu Xiang's 'overlord's special' chastity archway?

- Demote!

——A general who personally led his troops, met with the Han army, and was completely annihilated and captured!!

- Xiang clan people!

——A member of the Xiang clan who is connected to the blood of the overlord Xiang Yu, but was given the surname of Liu Hanguo!!!!!

Can such a person not know what to say, what not to say, what to do, and what not to do?

Joke!

If Liu Ying dares to agree, Liu Xiang will definitely be able to seamlessly connect the position of the resulting Yong Tooth within three seconds, and do it better than Yong Tooth!

Such a person, if he does not have the confidence that he will not set himself on fire, will he easily get involved in such a dangerous topic as 'the young son of heaven is eager to regency'?

It's simply impossible!

Liu Xiang is like this, and the juice Fang Hou Yongya, not to mention - since the Han Dynasty, Yongya has been doing the errand of 'pretending to make the emperor angry, and then being punished by the emperor to warn the rest of the Yuanjun Gonghou'!

So on the surface, Liu Xiang and Yongya, one is 'Xiang Chu Yu' and the other is 'traitor', seems to have the courage and motive to meddle in this matter, but in fact, these two people are almost the people who know what it means to 'weigh the pros and cons' in the entire Han court.

But even so, the names of Liu Xiang and Yongya were still sent to Liu Ying together with the message of 'the Son of Heaven is eager to take charge'.

This shows that something must have happened in this rumor from the 'beginning stage' of Lu Matong's five people to the 'fermentation stage' after Liu Xiang and Yongya learned about it, so that these two people are sure: If they do this, they will definitely not provoke anyone who should not be provoked.

After making sure that there was no danger, the two of them cleverly spread the rumor to the ears of most of the Yuanxun Gonghou.

And then there's the third point.

——When this rumor was widely known among the courtiers and princes, no one stood up and reminded the sentence 'Be careful of misfortune coming out of your mouth'!

Prime Minister Xiao He is old, and he has been sick for three days and resting on the couch at both ends, and he can't take care of this matter, so it's okay;

But the imperial historian Cao Shen, the inner history Wang Ling, and even the Shaofu Yangchengyan, who has always been 'close' to Liu Ying, did not even one stand up and doubt the authenticity of this rumor!

What is it that makes this huge court believe in this rumor, and the people of the Manchu Dynasty are not aware of this rumor, which is very likely to cause a violent turmoil in the court?

The answer to the question lies in the last doubt.

- First of all, under the circumstance that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty either threw rats or did not dare to assert them, and could only let the rumors ferment, as the helmsman of the contemporary Lu family, when today's uncle Lu Shizhi was built, he did not stand up!

Not only did he stand up, but he didn't even enter the palace and ask Liu Ying sideways, or remind him that 'Your Majesty will be unhappy if you do this', Lu Shizhi didn't do anything as simple as 'Your Majesty will be unhappy'!

On the contrary, it was Lu Lu, the son of Zhou Luhou and Lu Ze, who stood up quite abruptly, and stopped this rumor as 'absolutely false';

In the end, Lu Shizhi's figure was 'long overdue', and he came ambiguously: Coronation and regency are all matters for His Majesty to decide, so don't talk about it for those of us who are courtiers······

"!!"

Thinking of this, Liu Ying's face suddenly twisted, and she slapped the royal case in front of her!

——Who doesn't know today that in today's Han family, all the big and small affairs are all decided by the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant, who lives in Changle Palace?

Uncle Lu Shizhitang, who is the maternal uncle of Liu Ying, the son of heaven, and the brother of the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant, actually jumped out and said such a sentence 'Your Majesty has the final say'?

This is a self-explanatory arch fire technique, even Liu Ying can't help but want to say low-level!

Fortunately, Liu Ying is also convinced: Lu Shizhi's simple mind can be seen by herself, and the old lady Lu Pheasant has no reason that she can't see.

But even so, Liu Ying's heavy mood has not slowed down at all.

- Feelings, who can't stand the test the most······

Regarding Lu Shizhi's 'secret ghost fetus', Lu Pheasant will naturally be clear at a glance;

But who can be sure that in Lu Pheasant's heart, there will be no speculation that 'my son may think the same way'?

If so, what should Liu Ying do?

Sitting back and ignoring it is undoubtedly a tacit acquiescence;

But if you defend yourself, it is clear that there is no silver three hundred taels here!

Also, the sensitivity of this topic is really special.

——This topic can be mentioned and talked about by anyone, only Liu Ying, as a party, cannot!

According to the etiquette system for thousands of years, the crowning of a man at the age of 20 has always been an eternal universal value.

But when the former emperor Liu Bang was dying, he confessed a sentence 'The crown prince succeeded to the throne and was crowned at the age of seventeen'!

As for the basis, it is also perfunctory: according to the Han law, the people are seventeen masters; That is, the beginning of the master, then the strong.

In order to increase the persuasiveness of this explanation, Liu Bang even confessed to his uncle and grandson Tong and said a sentence on the "Han Rites": The male seventeenth master is crowned and an adult!

In this way, 'how old should Liu Ying be to perform the coronation ceremony' has become a very embarrassing topic.

"Li" cloud: The monarch is weak and succeeds to the throne, first crowned and adult, and then married and pro-government!

Therefore, when to perform the crown salute means when Liu Ying will be established and when he will officially take over the government.

Liu Ying's original plan was to pretend that this matter did not exist at all, and wait until next year, and then find a cannon fodder to mention this matter privately to the old lady to test the old lady's attitude.

If the old lady has no opinion, then Liu Ying is happy to take power as soon as possible; If the old lady is not happy, Liu Ying doesn't mind letting the old lady fight for a few more years.

In any case, Liu Ying is still a good baby in Lu Pheasant's heart, and whether the matter is put on the table or not, it will naturally not cause turmoil.

But as soon as Lu Shizhi stirred it up, this matter became extremely complicated.

The rumor that the Son of Heaven is anxious to be the regent is about to spread throughout Chang'an, what should Liu Yingneng do?

- Either stand up and take the risk of 'there is no silver three hundred taels here', showing that you have absolutely no resolute attitude that you have thought so!

Or, it is just a cold bystander, acquiescing to this, it is indeed said by himself.

No matter what you do, it will inevitably make a small crack in the mother-son friendship between Lu Pheasant and Liu Ying.

If there is a rift, it will only be a matter of time before it is completely broken······

"Alas~"

"Why, exactly?"

"Uncle, why did you do this?"

let out a long sigh leisurely, and Liu Ying's green face suddenly swelled with exhaustion.

According to the principle of 'the lesser of two phases', Liu Ying is likely to choose the former, that is, 'refute rumors'.

But in this way, it is still impossible to avoid the suspicion in the old lady's heart, and at the same time, it will also make Liu Ying completely lose the possibility of 'being crowned a pro-government at the age of seventeen'.

- Since she wants to refute the rumors, Liu Ying obviously can't just say 'I'm not in a hurry to take power', but add another sentence implicitly: Crowning at the age of twenty is the eternal etiquette system;

Because only in this way can the impact of this rumor be minimized, and the unhappiness in Lu Pheasant's heart can be minimized.

"Hoo ······"

Full of sorrow and exhaling a breath of turbidity, Liu Ying shook her head and did not forget to laugh at herself.

"Anyway, ······"

"Uncle's move should be to make me in a dilemma, and in the end I had no choice but to 'refute the rumors'·······"

"Only in this way can I completely break off the idea of 'being crowned pro-government at the age of seventeen'."

"It's just ······"

"Is this what my uncle himself meant?"

"Or, the queen mother also has the opportunity to tempt, so she lets her uncle go and looks on coldly······"

Secretly thinking about it, the bitterness on Liu Ying's face only slowly tended to be substantial.

In Liu Ying's view, all the efforts in her life have not been able to avoid the current situation of 'mother and son suspicion'.

But what Liu Ying didn't expect in any case was that at this moment, an unprecedented cane punishment was being staged in Changle Palace!

And the tortured person was the uncle who made Liu Ying feel extremely depressed, when Chaolang was in the order, the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant's half-brother: Jiancheng Hou, Lu Shizhi······
