Chapter 0307: Two Smart People

"The Queen Mother."

In the middle of the night, Liu Ying finally waited for the news that 'Mrs. Bo left the palace', and then came to the Xuanshu Palace.

As Liu Ying expected, the old lady was already sleepy at this moment, and she was rubbing the corners of her eyes tiredly, even Liu Ying's arrival could not make the queen mother a little energetic.

Seeing this situation, Liu Ying had no choice but to shake her head and smile, and immediately stepped forward, came behind Lu Pheasant, and kneaded her mother's shoulders lightly.

After a long while, Lu Pheasant opened his eyes tiredly, but he did not immediately straighten up, but leaned his head on Liu Ying's arm with a soft side.

"Today's Thing ······"

"Alas~"

"I don't want to do it, I have to do it······"

Hearing the lingering tiredness in the old lady's tone, Liu Ying couldn't help but be silent.

pinched the neck of the old lady with both hands, and Liu Yingcai said in a low voice: "The queen mother works hard for state affairs, and she works very hard. ”

"It's all strange that the child is young······"

But seeing Lu Pheasant smile when he heard this, he pulled it gently, and pulled Liu Ying's Liu Ying behind him to sit down, and then looked at Liu Ying with anticipation.

"Don't say it."

"But my son can be a little peaceful, and this is nothing more than my duty······"

Hearing this, Liu Ying smiled and nodded, and immediately forced herself to smile.

"The meaning of the queen mother is clear to the child."

In just a few words of exchange, the tired look on Lu Pheasant's face receded slightly, and when he looked at Liu Ying, he also faintly took on a little color of school examination.

Seeing this, Liu Ying only smiled and sat up straight, posing as a good student, and quietly waited for her mother's question.

"Hmmm······"

After a little groaning, Lu Pheasant smiled, and between his eyebrows, he was full of love for Liu Ying.

"Just now, I thought that my wife and daughter of the Lu family were acting for the queen, and I asked Bo Ji."

"Bo Jiyan: Acting king, the son of Emperor Taizu; Bo Ji, the concubine of Emperor Taizu; I, the wife of Emperor Taizu; ”

"When a concubine marries a wife, it should be decided by the wife and the mother, and there is no reason for the concubine to say what is right and wrong······"

As he spoke, Lu Pheasant raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Liu Ying with a slight playfulness.

"I think Bo Ji said this, but is it?"

"With this statement, how many people are sincere in their opinions, but how many people are insincere?"

Hearing this, Liu Ying only smiled, and looked at Lu Pheasant's gaze, and even more slowly deferential.

"What Mrs. Bo said is reasonable."

"And the Heartfelt······"

"Hmmm······"

"On behalf of the king, Bo Ji is born on behalf of the king's mother, and the marriage of the king, there should indeed be a queen mother, and Bo Ji can listen to the edict of the queen mother."

"Therefore, what Mrs. Bo said seems to be sincere, but she is insincere?"

Hearing Liu Ying's first half of the sentence, Lu Pheasant's expression on his face was a little serious;

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, especially the word 'face like', Lu Pheasant only breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded to Liu Ying expectantly.

"What do you mean by that?"

Seeing Liu Ying groaning slightly, she raised her head calmly.

"If what is said is right or wrong, what Mrs. Bo said today should be said to be leaky."

"——After the mother, Mrs. Bo was a concubine and obedient; In the Dai Wang, Mrs. Bo is a mother and loving, but although she is loving, she has not exceeded the rules. ”

"Ran Ershang still remembers what the queen mother once said: All the concubines in the harem have to give birth to the prince, and the mother and child are safe, are not idle people?"

"Therefore, I think that what Mrs. Bo said this time, whether she was sincere or insincere, was not serious."

"Only Mrs. Bo knows what to say, what to say, and what to say behind the scenes, which is the most important thing."

Speaking of this, Liu Ying didn't forget to let out a short sigh with a smile, as if she was emotional: "The queen mother once said: Mrs. Bo is a rare wise and beneficial person among Emperor Gao's concubines. ”

"I think this concubine thinks that the queen mother, acting as the king of Jinyang, should also be the virtuous king and loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?"

From Liu Ying's mouth, although it was not so perfect, it was definitely enough to satisfy herself, Lu Pheasant's mood couldn't help but become more relaxed and happy.

Unintentionally stretched out his hand and combed Liu Ying's broken sideburns, and Lu Pheasant started to comment on Liu Ying's opinion.

"That's true."

"What Bo Ji says is sincere, or insincere, is harmless; Only Bo Ji takes care of the overall situation and understands the general situation, which is important to me. ”

"However, my question did not reply directly······"

Hearing the ridicule in the old lady's tone, Liu Yingzi also cooperated with the arch of hands: "I still hope for the queen mother, and I don't hesitate to teach ······"

saw that Lu Pheasant waved his hand relaxedly, gently pulled Liu Ying's hand, and covered it in his palm.

"The difference between concubine and wife, Bo Ji should understand;"

"Who is in charge of the marriage of the king, and it is not something that Bo Jisi cannot solve."

"However, if the words are sincere, then what Bo Ji said today, I am afraid that every word and sentence is not sincere······"

As he spoke, Lu Pheasant only chuckled and lowered his head, looking at the hand that was tightly covered in the palm of his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but swell with a happy smile.

"Although the life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the difference between the concubine and the wife and concubine, the king is finally born in October when Bo Ji is pregnant."

"Mother and son are connected by blood, and they have experienced the pain of separation, why is Bo Ji unwilling to marry her own children?"

"——Xu Zhizong is the body of the Queen Mother, and he is also thinking twice about my son's marriage, lest my son meet someone unladylike and mess with the world;"

"It's vain to talk about the present, and to be the Bo Ji of the Queen Mother?!"

Speaking of this, Lu Pheasant's face also subconsciously became a little serious, and in his tone, he also quietly brought a touch of coldness engraved on his bones.

"The marriage of the king, Bo Ji, is willing to be the Lord, and wants the Lord."

"Although Bo Ji has this thought, it is also as Wu'er said: Bo Ji is the wisest of Emperor Gao's concubines and concubines;"

"Bo Ji's confidant should be the one who speaks and who should be."

"This, I have always been lenient and benevolent to Bo Ji, and there is no reason for being harsh······"

Hearing her mother's extremely meticulous interpretation, Liu Ying couldn't help but look a little solemn and nodded slightly, indicating that she was taught.

"It's the king of Chu ······"

saw Lu Pheasant muttering thoughtfully, and shook his head and laughed.

"If Bo Ji is the wisest of Emperor Gao's concubines and concubines, then the King of Chu should be the wisest of the Liu clansmen and the Kwantung princes."

"Huh······"

"Marry the daughter of the Lu family to continue the string of the prince of Chu······"

Halfway through his words, Lu Pheasant shook his head with a smile again, although he didn't say it explicitly, but the expression on his face was clearly saying: It's also a shame that the King of Chu can figure it out!

Seeing this, Liu Ying also shook her head with a smile, and sighed silently for this Uncle Wang's 'survival wisdom'.

Who is Liu Jiao, the king of Chu?

The only younger brother of the former emperor Liu Bang, the only surviving uncle of Liu Ying today, and the only one in the old Liu family, or the only 'family' cultural person.

But in addition to these identities that are well-known to the people of the world and even to later generations, Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, also has a little-known identity.

- Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, is the youngest son of the late Emperor Liu Xuan, and the only son-in-law among the four sons!

Later generations know that Liu Xuan's eldest son Liu Bo, second son Liu Zhong (Liu Xi), and third son Liu Ji (Liu Bang) were all born to the legendary 'wife' Liu Ji (ao).

That's right, it is the myth and legend that he fainted by the river, woke up and found a dragon lying on his body, and then conceived Liu Bang's Liu Yuan.

As for the youngest son Liu Jiao, he was born to the legendary concubine Li.

But as long as you pay a little attention to the treatment provided to Liu Yuan and the Li family after Liu Bang ascended the throne, it is not difficult to find the strangeness.

——As the biological mother of Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, as well as Liu Bo, Marquis of Wuai, and Liu Xi, Marquis of Heyang, Liu Yuan was posthumously called 'Lady Zhaoling' after Liu Bang established the country.

On the other hand, according to the legend, the 'little concubine' Li who gave birth to Liu Jiao was honored as the queen by Liu Bang as soon as he ascended the throne!

From the time of Liu Yuan's death, probably around the time of the death of the first emperor, Liu Jiao had already begun to travel around the world to study between the unification of the world by Qin, and it is not difficult to judge the relationship between Liu Yuan and the Li family, and it is unlikely that Liu Yuan was the wife of the emperor Liu Xuan first, and then Liu Yuan died, and Liu Xuan continued the Li family'.

In addition, Liu Bang only posthumously called his biological mother 'Mrs. Zhaoling', but respected Liu Jiao's biological mother as the Empress Taishang, and the truth of the facts is not difficult to see.

- Liu Bo, the father of Liu Xin, the Marquis of Tangjie, Liu Xi, who had abandoned the country and fled in front of the Xiongnu soldiers, and Liu Bang, Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, were all just concubines of the Emperor Liu Xuan;

Only the Li family in the main room, who has focused on training since he was a child, and Liu Jiao, who studied with his teacher, is the only concubine of Emperor Liu Xuan.

Only in this way can we explain why Liu Xuan's eldest son Liu Bo is an honest farmer, the second Liu Xi is a soft egg who looks very reliable, but in fact can abandon the country and run away, the third Liu Ji is just a hooligan leader, on the other hand, the fourth Liu Jiao, but he is a cultural person who reads the scriptures and is taught by Xunzi's disciple - Fuqiu Gongmen.

- Emperor Liu Xuan, originally the son of Duke Feng of Wei, moved to the territory of Chu with his father after Wei was destroyed by Qin;

Therefore, Liu Bang's family moved to Chu State, and it is better to say that it is to send people under the fence, and to say that it is difficult to hear, it can also be said to be to avoid war, or to run away.

It is unlikely that the nobles of the Wei State will degenerate into ordinary people at once; In a short period of time, the family has fallen into the middle of the road, but it is basically a sure thing.

In this case, in order to make a comeback for the family, and in order to retain the purest bloodline, in order to ensure the family inheritance to the greatest extent, all the resources in Liu Xuan's hands will inevitably be poured into the only son-in-law: Liu Jiao.

It is no wonder that in the first half of Liu Jiao's life, he either studied beside famous teachers, or on the way to study, he traveled everywhere;

On the other hand, the three elder brothers, some are farming, some seem to be farming, and some even directly become hooligans.

Poor Liu Bang wanted to see his idol Xinlingjun, but in the end he could only be trapped in Zhongyangli, Pei County, and his dream was completely shattered by the news of Wei Wuji's death······

As for today, Liu Jiao tested Lu Pheasant's tone on the grounds of 'the crown prince's widowhood', not that it did not match the identity of the 'son-in-law', but his age.

- You must know that Liu Jiao, as early as when Qin had not yet unified the Six Kingdoms, he had already traveled all over the world and studied everywhere.

Later, Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, and banned folk cultural and educational activities with the "Law of Calligraphy", and Liu Jiaocai returned to Fengpei's hometown.

After unifying the world, the first emperor Yingzheng sat on the throne for another eleven years; After the death of Yingzheng, the second succeeded to the present, and another 16 years have passed.

To put it bluntly, Liu Jiao said that he was 'the youngest among the four sons of the Emperor Taishang', but in fact, Liu Jiao's age was not a few years younger than the former emperor Liu Bang.

In other words, Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, who was born in the early years of the first emperor and is likely to be the same as Liu Bang, was born in the later years of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and is now past the age of the sixtieth birthday.

Liu Jiao is over the age of six, and this time he wants his second son Liu Yingke to become the crown prince, so how old should this freshly baked prince of Chu be?

- At least forty!

In this era when a woman has to marry at the age of fifteen, if she does not marry at the age of eighteen, she will have to pay a 'fine for late marriage', and at the age of twenty-five is enough to be called a 'human old pearl', let a teenage girl marry a crown prince who is over forty years old?

Even if Liu Jiao leaves this face, Lu Pheasant can't leave it!

Besides, now in Kanto, Yan, Dai, Zhao, Qi, Chu, Liang, Huaiyang, and Huainan have a total of eight clan vassal states, of which six except Qi and Chu have all determined the queen's surname.

Lu!

But the princes and kings of these six clan vassal states, no matter how you say it, are all the heirs of the former emperor Liu Bang, and Lu Pheasant, who is the mother of the queen mother, can find any fault with these concubines.

can renew the strings for the crown prince of Chu, I'm afraid it will have a weird taste.

- Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, is the brother-in-law of the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant, and Liu Yingke, the crown prince of Chu, should be Lu Pheasant's nephew.

As the aunt of the Queen Mother, looking for relatives for her nephew who is the crown prince?

Especially the continuation?

I can't find any reasonable explanation for this matter!

To put it more bluntly, it is that Lu Pheasant gave the sons of the former emperors of Yan, Dai, Zhao and other countries the queen of the Lu clan, at least he can say to the outside world: As the head of the house, it is understandable for me to find relatives for the concubines;

Even if no one believes this explanation, it can at least whitewash the peace.

But to find a relative for the crown prince of Chu, that is, to directly put aside his face, which is equivalent to directly issuing an edict to tell the people of the world: I, the queen mother Lu Pheasant, is to use this to control the Chu State!

There are a total of eight princely states in the Kwantung Manchurian state, and six of them have set up the daughter of the Lu family as the queen, and among the only two kingdoms of Qi and Chu, Liu Fei's Qi State is about to suffer a 'disaster' that is not light or heavy.

In this case, even if it is to maintain the image of the Han family, the 'survivor' of the Chu State should always be spared, so as not to spread the rumor that 'the Queen Mother wants to follow the example of the Qin Wangzheng, abolish the division and do the county', spread all over the world.

So for Liu Jiao's imaginative proposal, Liu Ying just laughed it off, and Liu Ying was also very sure that her mother Lu Pheasant would only treat it as a not very funny joke.

Of course, Liu Jiao's move is not completely meaningless.

At the very least, Liu Jiao took advantage of this move to tell Lu Pheasant and Liu Ying's mother and son almost unabashedly: In order to show loyalty, the widow can do anything!

Queen Mother, Your Majesty, don't be polite······
