Let's say that Emperor Jing of Han and Liu Wu, the king of Liang, successfully reached a deal.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty gave Liu Wu a lot of favors and privileges, and Liu Wu, the king of Liang, fully supported Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty's cause of cutting the feudal domain.

Empress Dowager Dou played the role of link lubrication in it.

The discussion was decided, and the three of them chatted about their daily routines.

Empress Dowager Dou is a warm-hearted elder and especially likes to arrange marriages for juniors.

Before, Liu Rong and Chen Ajiao's family affair was facilitated by her.

Now, she is concerned about the marriage of Liu Wu's son Liu Mai.

"Mai'er is not too big now." Empress Dowager Dou asked.

King Liang replied respectfully, "I'm already fifteen years old." ”

When Empress Dowager Dou heard this, she nodded, "That's really not small, but is there a marriage contract?" ”

King Liang shook his head, "Not really." ”

"This kind of thing, you have to worry about being a father. These days, you pay more attention in the capital, pick one, choose one, and tell your mother which girl you like, and my mother will personally be a matchmaker for my grandson. ”

King Liang laughed: "Mother, he's still young, let's wait." ”

Emperor Han Jing echoed beside him: "Fifteen years old, not too young, when we are so old, we are already able to go to the battlefield." ”

"In this way, when Liu Mai enters Beijing, I will personally give him a crown salute."

Liu Mai and other five brothers were named liehous, and according to the rules, they should enter the court to thank them and go through the relevant procedures.

Liu Wudao: "The younger brother wants to wait until they are twenty years old, and then give them a crown salute and marry them." ”

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty did not have a uniform age for performing the crown ceremony and marrying relatives, generally between the ages of fifteen and twenty.

Some are even earlier, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, they have already married and become parents, which is unimaginable in later generations.

Seeing Liu Wu say this, Empress Dowager Dou was anxious: "Then how can I do it, I am still waiting to hold my great-grandson." ”

Liu Wu said jokingly: "Isn't Rong'er already married to Gillian, let the two of them get married as soon as possible and give you a big fat great-grandson?" ”

The three of them laughed.

。。。。。。

Later, Emperor Jing of Han still had political affairs to deal with, so he left first.

After Empress Dowager Dou and Liu Wu, King of Liang, sent Emperor Jing of Han away, they still chatted in Changxin Palace.

It is rare for the youngest son to come here, and the Empress Dowager Dou has already prepared imperial meals, and she wants to leave Liu Wu to dine with her today.

The two of them talked about cutting the feudal domain again.

Empress Dowager Dou patted Liu Wu's shoulder and said:

"Listen to my mother's words, and help your brother deal with those distant princes wholeheartedly, and your benefits will be indispensable in the future."

"The world belongs to our family, it was earned by Emperor Taizong, and it can't be lost in your hands."

"A few days ago, my mother wanted to put you on the throne of the prince, but the ministers were all against it, so I had to give up."

"Your foundation is still shallow. In the future, you must pay attention to your conduct, accumulate prestige, and build up a lot of achievements. ”

She took Liu Wu's hand and said seriously: "Sooner or later, my mother will make a move, and I will definitely make you the prince of the Han Dynasty." ”

Hearing this, Liu Wu's eyes lit up, and the flame extinguished in his heart was rekindled.

Empress Dowager Dou went on to explain:

"It's not that my mother is biased towards you, it's really that the situation in the world is simply terrible, the princes have all hidden evil intentions, plotting against them, and there is no prime-aged son of heaven, and it is absolutely impossible to suppress it."

"Your brother's sons are still young, and they can't do anything. Your brother's health is not good, and if there is a bad one, you will have to carry this burden. ”

"However, let's say it first, if you can become the prince and inherit the unification, after 10,000 years, the throne will still be passed to your brother's son."

When Liu Wu heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh.

He hasn't even become the prince yet, and the Empress Dowager Dou has already planned for the future succession.

That's too much of a rush.

However, with the support of the Empress Dowager Dou, he has more confidence in competing for the position of the king.

Yes, Liu Wu also wants to be this prince in his heart.

The prince is the future emperor, there is one person in the world, who in this world does not want to be an emperor?

。。。。。。

Xuanmuro Hall.

Emperor Jing of Han is working on the recital.

There was a mountain of concertos on the table in front of him, and he had to reply to them one by one.

Reviewing nearly fifty pounds of music is his daily homework.

After several years of training, Emperor Han Jing is now very handy in dealing with it.

Suddenly, a small yellow door walked in with a minister.

As if he hadn't seen it, Emperor Han Jing continued to review the chapters.

A loud voice sounded: "The criminal minister Zhang Shizhi greets Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Han Jing snorted, then stopped his pen and looked up, looked at the man in front of him, and smiled.

He walked down and personally helped Zhang Shizhi up.

Zhang Shi was stunned: Emperor Han Jing had to ask about his sin just now, and now he is so close, what does this mean?

I only heard Emperor Han Jing say:

"The first emperor once told me that Zhang Shizhi has both virtue and deed, and he is worthy of a heavy responsibility. Try it today, and sure enough, you will not be shocked by honor and disgrace, and you will be a hero. ”

Zhang Shizhi was stunned, what? Today, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty dismissed himself as a court lieutenant, but it turned out that he was just testing himself? Thank you.

I only heard Emperor Han Jing continue: "I have a big matter right now, I want to hand it over to you, how about it?" ”

When Zhang Shizhi heard this, he fell to the ground: "The minister is willing to die!" ”

Emperor Han Jing helped him up again and said:

"I'll tell you the truth, I've already decided to cut the domain."

"Those princes outside, I really can't rest assured, I'm worried that they will make trouble, and I want you to help me."

"Liu An, the king of Huainan, followed the people with yin virtue, lost his reputation, and attracted thousands of guests and magicians, and I am very worried."

"This time, I have dismissed you as a court lieutenant under the pretext of relegating you to Huainan to serve as the minister of Huainan, what do you think?"

Zhang Shizhi said secretly, do I have a choice? If I don't say yes, will I still have a good end?

He said respectfully: "The minister is willing to go, for His Majesty's eyes and ears." ”

Emperor Han Jing nodded with satisfaction and said:

"After arriving in Huainan, you can say some bad things about me in private to win the trust of King Huainan."

"If the king of Huainan has been keeping to himself, he will be fine; If you dare to be restless, you know what to do. ”
