With guilt for his grandmother Empress Dowager Dou, he returned to Weiyang Palace, said goodbye to his mother Mrs. Jia and brother Liu Pengzu, and stayed in the palace for another night;

Early the next morning, before dawn, Liu Sheng, who simply packed up a few changes of clothes, came to the outside of Changle Palace again.

In addition to himself, Liu Sheng also deliberately went to Xuanming Hall and called the fifth brother Liu Fei.

Regarding Liu Fei's appearance, Empress Dowager Dou didn't say much, only nodded with a smile.

"Since you're here, let's all come up······

Speaking lovingly, Empress Dowager Dou did not forget to wave to Liu Sheng and Liu Fei, brothers outside the car;

Seeing Liu Fei seeing this situation, he suddenly became a little nervous, and hurriedly waved his hand subconsciously.

"Emperor, Imperial Grandmother;"

"Grandson, why don't you follow the car?"

Seeing Liu Fei's crampedness, Empress Dowager Dou did not show any different colors, but only nodded indifferently.

Unexpectedly, hearing Liu Fei's words, Liu Sheng on the side also raised his head hesitantly: "Imperial grandmother; ”

"Since the fifth brother doesn't get in the car, the grandson is also outside the car, accompanying the fifth brother, right?"

The same sentence came out of Liu Sheng's mouth, but he saw that Mrs. Dou's face suddenly sank.

"—Since they are connected, they will all come to me on the chariot!"

"It's a hundred and ten miles away from Shanglin Yuan, I don't have the strength to accompany you two boys all the way over······"

Hearing this, the two brothers bowed their heads in unison;

——Liu Sheng obviously hasn't been able to adjust from the guilt caused by persuading the Empress Dowager Dou in order not to be 'persecuted' by the Son of Heaven.

As for Liu Fei, he felt a little uncomfortable with such a loving Empress Dowager Dou.

But the Queen Mother has spoken, and the two brothers have no reason to refuse;

looked at each other for a while, encouraged and encouraged each other, and got into the chariot of the Empress Dowager Dou.

But what Liu Sheng didn't know was that this was the first time that Liu Fei, the fifth son of the emperor, was sitting so close to his own grandmother, the Queen Mother Dou······

·

"Eat slowly~"

"This kid ······"

After coming to Shanglin Yuan, the three ancestors and grandchildren of Empress Dowager Dou did not immediately go to the palace where Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was located, but stayed in another palace;

It is difficult to come out of Chang'an once, and when she came to Lin Yuan to breathe, Empress Dowager Dou was obviously a lot easier.

On the night of arriving at Shanglin Yuan, Empress Dowager Dou left Liu Sheng and Liu Fei as brothers to have dinner together.

Looking at Liu Fei in front of him, who was busy gobbling up food, Empress Dowager Dou's face immediately swelled with a touch of love.

Hearing Empress Dowager Dou's reminder, Liu Fei also hurriedly stopped his movements, and then took a small bite to eat the hot meat in front of him;

It's just that no matter how 'small bites' he is, Liu Fei's gluttonous eating speed still hasn't slowed down······

"Fifth brother, this is a rare ······"

was about to open his mouth to explain for Liu Fei, but he saw Empress Dowager Dou turn her head sideways and stare at her eyes without a trace, so that Liu Sheng hurriedly swallowed the words back into his stomach.

"Goose;"

"Fifth brother, it's rare to taste goose meat once, so I can't care about eating······

Seeing that Liu Sheng hurriedly changed his words, Empress Dowager Dou turned around with a gentle smile and enjoyed the food in front of her.

On Liu Sheng's side, in just three or two sentences, Liu Fei, the fifth son of the emperor, couldn't hold it anymore and began to gobble it up again.

——The rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang: except for court sacrifices, it is not allowed to kill or hurt cattle in any name!

And the original text of this provision in the "Qin Law" is: The horse thief dies, and the cattle thief is added.

This means that whoever steals a horse is guilty of death; Stealing cattle is an additional offense on the basis of the 'death penalty'.

In today's Han Dynasty, although a copy of the "Han Law" has been evaluated by countless scholars in later generations as the most direct evidence of the "Han Dynasty and Qin System", compared with the "Qin Law" that often sits together and is punished by the clan, the law of the Han family is obviously a little more humane.

is like the same sentence 'the horse thief dies, the cattle thief adds', but there is a supplementary clause in the "Han Law";

- If you confess your guilt and do not harm the stolen cattle or horses, and return the stolen cattle or horses to their owners, you can change the 'capital offense' to a 'fine', that is, a fine.

But then again: although today's "Han Law" is a softer and more humane version of "Qin Law" 2.0, the legal provisions of the Han family still maintain great punishment on the issue of cattle and horses.

For example: those who injure cattle die, those who kill cattle are added, and those who kill or injure horses for no reason will be cut off and abandoned by the city!

As for the reason, it is natural that compared with the Ying Qin who could control the Hetao grassland a hundred years ago, today's Han family has no decent place to raise horses;

If there is no place to raise horses, there is naturally no place to raise cattle.

This caused the scarcity of horses and cattle, and caused the natural disadvantages of the Han family in both internal affairs and foreign conquest.

- The lack of horses means the lack of cavalry, and it is impossible to erase the restraint of the 'infantry against cavalry' when the Han dynasty faced the Xiongnu;

The lack of cattle means that cattle farming, which has already arisen in the Qin period, has no soil for large-scale implementation in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, in order to protect the cultivated cattle and protect the horses, Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang set an example and set a rule: no one is allowed to use the meat of cattle and horses as food!

This also leads to the fact that today, those who can ignore the edict of Emperor Taizu Gao and eat beef without scruples can only be the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, who is in a theoretical position and is a head higher than the Son of Heaven······

"Why doesn't Xiao Jiu eat it?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Empress Dowager Dou's concerned greeting came into his ears, causing Liu Sheng to sit up straight, and shook his head with a stiff smile;

"My grandson isn't hungry."

Unexpectedly, before Liu Sheng's words fell, each of the 'goose' ribs in front of Liu Sheng, which was two fingers wide, was hugged by Liu Fei beside him;

"Xiao Jiu doesn't eat it, I'll eat it!"

"Hey······ hey"

Seeing Liu Fei pull the meat plate, he fell into the 'manic (made) mode again, and the Empress Dowager Dou only shook her head and smiled, then immediately put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked at Liu Sheng.

"Didn't I come to Shanglin Yuan?"

"Is it difficult for the emperor to really be able to seal Xiao Jiu to Changsha?"

"Besides, the edict of canonizing the princes and kings has to be nodded and sealed by me in order to send out Changle;"

"With me here, what else is Xiao Jiu worried about?"

Listening to Empress Dowager Dou's gentle tone, Liu Sheng's already somewhat stiff smile was all lost at this moment.

Instead, there was a lingering sense of guilt.

"Grandchildren······

"My grandson always felt that it was wrong to invite the imperial grandmother to Shanglin Yuan this time······"

"I feel that my grandson compromised with his father and deceived his grandmother into Shanglin ·········for his own interests."

Seeing that Liu Shengman was full of guilt, he lowered his head again while talking, but the Empress Dowager Dou only shook her head and sighed;

After a long time, Empress Dowager Dou looked at Liu Sheng's gaze, and then she was full of love.

"Xiao Jiu has this heart, it's enough;"

"Xiao Jiu's difficulties, I understand ······"

"Put your heart back in your stomach, so that you can eat this 'goose' meat raw, like the fifth child, with a long and sturdy body and bones;"

"I really feel sorry for me, so I will go to find Jia Ji again, and go to find Xiao Jiu's family, so that I can give birth to a great-great-grandson as soon as possible······"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Sheng's face was full of shame, and he was inexplicably a little ashamed;

As for Liu Fei on the side, at this moment, he also finished eating the 'goose' ribs for two people, and then saw a gloating gaze and sprinkled it on his younger brother Liu Sheng beside him.

"That's it!"

"Xiao Jiudu is more than ten years old, but the family affairs have not yet been decided;"

"Hurry up and find a family affair and give birth to a great-grandson to the imperial grandmother, this is the top priority!"

With Empress Dowager Dou deliberately active, coupled with Liu Fei, who is not too busy to see the excitement, the atmosphere in the hall is also relaxed;

After Liu Sheng nodded with a wry smile, and got up with shame and arched his hand, Empress Dowager Dou smiled and waved her hand, signaling Liu Sheng to sit down.

When Liu Sheng finally picked up the chopsticks and began to enjoy another piece of 'goose' meat sent by the palace people, Empress Dowager Dou's eyes finally fell on Liu Fei.

"For so many years, I only cared about the emperor who was still the crown prince;"

"I didn't pay attention to the fifth child, but he has grown into a husband?"

The gentle questioning voice only provoked Liu Fei to smirk for a while, and then got up from his seat and slapped his chest with a pop.

"The imperial grandmother is busy with state affairs and can't take care of her grandchildren, and she should be!"

"——Over the years, my grandson has not been idle, and he has practiced such a body and bones, just to make meritorious contributions!"

"When it really comes to the time when it is related to the survival of Zongmiao and Sheji, my grandson doesn't dare to say anything else: I will receive a general seal, bring three or five thousand elite soldiers, and have the strength to charge into battle for my father, and my grandson still has it!"

Seeing Liu Fei's posture, Empress Dowager Dou only shook her head and laughed;

I laughed to myself for a while, only to see that the Empress Dowager Dou smiled helplessly and nodded: "Okay, good~"

"When the time comes, if the emperor doesn't give it, the general's seal, the fifth child will come to me to get the ······"

The half-perfunctory promise made Liu Fei suddenly overjoyed, and he kowtowed to the Empress Dowager Dou for a while, only to make the Empress Dowager Dou laugh again.

When Liu Fei sat back in his seat with satisfaction, and looked at his younger brother Liu Sheng beside him with grateful eyes, the relaxed and gentle tone of the Empress Dowager Dou also sounded in the palace again.

"The fifth child has a straight personality;"

"Xiao Jiu, it's a kind person again;"

"What about the other boys?"

"Like the two of you?"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng also chuckled and raised his head and looked at the fifth brother Liu Fei beside him;

After thinking secretly for a while, Liu Shengcai smiled lightly and bowed his hand to the Empress Dowager Dou.

"The three elder brothers of the Phoenix Palace, the grandson has never been very familiar with them;"

"I only know the big brother, and I look like a big brother."

Subconsciously raised his eldest brother Liu Rong's hand, and a heartfelt smile also appeared on Liu Sheng's face.

"As for the other brothers, they all have their own strengths."

"——Like the fourth brother Liu Yu, although he is inconvenient to speak, he likes music very much, and his attainments are really not shallow;"

As he spoke, Liu Sheng turned sideways again and naturally patted Liu Fei's leg;

"-The fifth brother has a straightforward temperament and is righteous, and there has never been a city government that is too deep;"

"Even if he gives birth to such a general's body, he will never bully the weak, he only thinks that one day, he can be a general of his father!"

"The imperial grandmother also knows that her grandson is also anxious, and she doesn't like people beating around the bush at all."

"So on weekdays, in addition to the brother of the same mother, the closest person to the grandson is the fifth brother······

Listening to Liu Sheng's words, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but nod her head slowly, and while listening, she didn't forget to think secretly.

Liu Sheng said, 'I'm not familiar with the three brothers of the Phoenix Palace', there is nothing to say about this;

- Don't talk about Liu Sheng, in the entire Weiyang Palace, except for Li Ji, no one is familiar with this brother!

As for the eldest Liu Rong, don't say whether he looks like a big brother or not, even if he doesn't, it is impossible for Liu Sheng to say bad things about this eldest brother in front of the Empress Dowager Dou.

is the fourth Liu Yu, Liu Sheng's description and the original impression of the Empress Dowager Dou obviously do not match.

"Like music?"

"How did I hear that it's a dog and a horse······

Thinking like this, Empress Dowager Dou came back to her senses and looked at Liu Fei, the fifth elder beside Liu Sheng.

The fourth Liu Yu, whether he is 'like music' or 'lustful dogs and horses', Empress Dowager Dou is difficult to judge;

But Liu Fei, the fifth child, is obviously different from the rumored 'brave and unscrupulous' and 'brutal temperament'······

"Humph!"

"A bunch of bastards!"

"When I'm blind, they all lie to me!"

Secretly annoyed, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but sit up straight, and put most of her attention on her beloved young grandson Liu Sheng's evaluation of her brothers.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Dou realized that she was probably deceived by some people in the past!

So at this moment, Empress Dowager Dou is eager to know: In the rumors, what kind of grandsons are worse than the other······

"Sixth brother Liu Fa, he has been very tight since he was a child, he doesn't like to talk, and he is a little afraid of life;"

"But with a few of our brothers, we can still sit together."

Hearing Liu Sheng's assertion again, the last trace of doubt in Empress Dowager Dou's heart disappeared completely.

- Someone must be lying to me!

Because in the rumors, Liu Fa, the sixth son of the emperor, is a cunning villain who is only submissive on the surface, but in fact he is quite scheming, always thinking of secretly slandering and persecuting others!

Between Empress Dowager Dou's annoyance, Liu Sheng's evaluation of his brothers is not over;

And Empress Dowager Dou's face gradually became gloomy with Liu Sheng's evaluation sentence after sentence······

"Lao Qi is smart and clever, but he is said to be treacherous and sophistry······"

"The eighth child has a hidden disease and doesn't like to see people, but he is slandered as a 'dark heart' and 'can't see the light'······"

"Huh······"

"-I don't know how many people have used such lies to deceive my blind old woman over the years·········"

Thinking like this, the corners of Empress Dowager Dou's mouth also quietly brought a little sarcasm;

When Liu Sheng's words fell, he saw Empress Dowager Dou sneering inexplicably and shook her head, and then she sighed and looked at Liu Sheng beside her.

"In the future, take your brothers more and walk around Changle;"

"——When this person is old, he likes to let his children and grandchildren accompany him and talk with him."

"Emperor and King Liang, I can't count on ······"

"It's like you, who are grandchildren, should always take care of my old wife and want to talk to my children and grandchildren······"

Hearing Empress Dowager Dou's words, Liu Sheng nodded hurriedly, indicating that the matter was not a problem;

Seeing that Empress Dowager Dou nodded with a satisfied smile, she cast her gentle gaze to Liu Fei on the side.

"Have you eaten enough?"

"If you are not full, send someone from the palace to fetch some;"

"Imperial grandmother here, the 'goose' meat tube is enough ······"

Listening to Empress Dowager Dou's extremely gentle inquiry, Liu Fei finally shook his head with a smile after a short period of stunnedness.

"My grandson is full;"

"In the future, if my grandson wants to eat 'goose' meat, I must call Xiao Jiu to go to Changle Palace to find the emperor's grandmother to beg for meat!"

"-You don't have to be led by Xiao Jiu, if you want to eat, you can go by yourself······"

said a gentle voice again, and the Empress Dowager Dou finally retracted her gaze, looked at the dining table in front of her with a light smile, and didn't know what she was thinking.

After a while, I saw that outside the palace, there was also a somewhat familiar figure of the three ancestors and grandchildren.

"Old slave, see Queen Mother'······"

An old, weak, and extremely sharp strange voice made Liu Sheng and Liu Fei on the side frown subconsciously;

Empress Dowager Dou raised her head indifferently, and looked at the old eunuch with a little subconscious coldness.

"It's the eunuch order here······"

"—But the emperor, what do you command?"

said leisurely, but the old eunuch was shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager Dou in horror!

"Old man, old slave, it's just that there is such a mutilated body left from under the knife and saw, and I don't dare to be Your Majesty's master!"

"But the Queen Mother misunderstands Your Majesty like this, the old slave, the old slave ······"

"-Okay, okay~"

Seeing that the old eunuch was frightened, he was already a little speechless, and the Empress Dowager Dou had no intention of continuing to intimidate the eunuchs;

The exit interrupted the old eunuch's words, and sighed a little before raising his head indifferently.

"Emperor, what did you bring?"

The deep voice finally relieved the old eunuch;

As if he had been amnestied, he kowtowed to the Empress Dowager Dou again, and then relayed the words of the Son of Heaven to the Empress Dowager Dou.

"Your Majesty said: Since inheriting the unification, he has always been busy with state affairs and has not bothered to visit the Queen Mother······"

"It's rare for the Queen Mother to come to Shanglin Yuan, and it just so happens that Your Majesty is also ······"

"——Your Majesty has sent the old slave to ask the Queen Mother to show me, and it is better to come to see the Queen Mother in person tomorrow morning······"

Hearing this, especially the sentence 'The Empress Dowager went to the forest, it happened that His Majesty was also there', the corners of Empress Dowager Dou's mouth only immediately sneered;

But in the end, the Empress Dowager Dou still didn't say any more angry words, and went to scare the eunuch leader who was more than 2,000 stones.

"Let's go to the beast pen;"

After only thinking about it for a moment, he got up indifferently and left a word to the old eunuch, and the Empress Dowager Dou stretched out her hand, supported by Liu Fei and Liu Sheng, and walked towards the dormitory of the palace.

And after the Empress Dowager Dou left, the eunuch Ling fell into a burst of extreme panic again······

"-I want to see if the emperor dares to throw his own mother down and feed the beast ······"

I'm sorry;

Some time ago, my wisdom teeth were extracted, and the threads have been removed, but I woke up with severe pain today.

I went to the hospital and saw a doctor, saying that there might be inflammation and prescribed medicine to me.

I came back and took medicine, endured the severe pain, and wrote out this first update.

The next one is even more important, and I really don't dare to endure the pain anymore;

So I hope that all of you will let me go and sleep well for a day.

Today's second is more owed, try to tomorrow, no later than the day after tomorrow, must make up!

- Bow goodbye to the blood civet slave of the erection son, and I would like to play it······
