Chapter 214: Little Money, Really Sweet!

negotiated the terms with the Son of Heaven and got most of the power he wanted, or 'permission', Liu Sheng of course told his mother Mrs. Jia and his brother Liu Pengzu about this first.

Regarding this matter, Mrs. Jia was worried and repeatedly instructed Liu Sheng: You must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not go wrong.

After Liu Sheng responded obediently, he found his only brother: Jia Gui, who should be the support of his mother family for Liu Sheng.

——In terms of this incident alone, Liu Sheng only lacks manpower.

But Mrs. Jia's maiden family is not a prosperous clan, and Liu Shengzi is also happy to accept his mother's kindness that is better than nothing.

Early the next morning, Liu Sheng took his brother Liu Pengzu and came to the 'old emperor' of Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager Dou.

Knowing that her baby grandson was going to do business, Empress Dowager Dou was also very happy, and put on a posture of responding to requests without any scruples.

——The shot was a reward of 1,000 gold, plus the promise of 'Dou's relatives will support them casually', which made Liu Sheng a little embarrassed.

In the end, Liu Sheng received all the 1,000 gold rewarded by his grandmother.

As for the Dou family's relatives, Liu Sheng did not forget the emperor's father's entrustment, and only said very interestingly: The Empress Dowager Dou is in charge, and it is enough to choose five capable ones from among the Dou family's contemporary nephews.

After telling his grandmother about the itinerary, he had a brief exchange with his cousin Dou Pengzu, and agreed to meet at the Taigong north of Weiyang Palace in the afternoon of the same day, and Liu Sheng left Changle Palace.

He also went to the Imperial Doctor, the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Shaofu and other subordinate offices, and greeted these subordinate officials in advance, and the time had already come to noon.

And Liu Sheng's figure finally appeared in the Taigong north of Weiyang Palace.

——Once, the palace that belonged to the Son of Heaven······

·

"Whew~"

"I'm exhausted······"

dragged his tired body into the guest hall on the west side of the palace, and sat on the soft couch at the top of the house;

When I looked up slightly, I found that the upper and lower parts of the imperial palace had already been sprinkled and swept spotlessly.

But Liu Sheng was not too surprised by this 'abnormal' situation.

- Because this situation is not abnormal.

Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, the three words "Taigong" should be closely associated with "prince";

Every prince should have his own palace and a supporting team.

But in fact, the Han family's cultivation of the prince prince, or preparation, was in full swing at the moment when the previous prince became the emperor.

Take today, the Son of Heaven who sits in Weiyang Palace and orders the world to take it as an example: more than four years ago, in the summer and June of the twenty-seventh year of Emperor Xiaowen of Emperor Taizong, the first emperor died;

That is, the day after the death of the first emperor, the son of heaven, who inherited the throne, took the entire crown prince team and moved out of this palace.

The former prince became the Son of Heaven, and he was once subordinate to the team of Prince Qi, and he was also a chicken dog ascending to heaven.

Prince Zhan made a mistake and became the head of Jiuqing's internal history;

The crown prince in the shield guard Zhou Ren became the commander of Lang in the forbidden guard;

The prince washed (xiǎn) Ma Zhangou, who became the court lieutenant in charge of the law and prison;

Liu She, the doctor of the Prince Gate, became the servant who was in charge of the world and the imperial chariot of the Son of Heaven.

Of course, there is also Chuntuo, the former eunuch head of the Taigong, who has become the eunuch head of Weiyang Palace: the eunuch order.

It is precisely with such a resolute and resolute method - on the day of succession, he quickly let the henchmen of the prince's mansion occupy four positions in the Jiuqing, and Tianzi Qi was able to complete the transfer of power so smoothly;

After quickly taking control of the court, he immediately began to promote Chao Cuo's "Cutting Domain", without worrying that his position was not stable enough.

Of course, such a vigorous and resolute operation was also based on the later years of the first emperor and the prince's imprisonment for several years, so it was successfully implemented.

So, here's the problem.

- Since the team of the Imperial Palace was brought into the palace by the Son of Heaven who inherited the throne, does that mean that the Imperial Palace left by the Son of Heaven has become an empty shell?

After Tianziqi moved out of the Tai Womb and moved into the Weiyang Palace, should the Tai Womb be locked up first and sealed for a period of time?

The answer, no.

At the same time that 'Prince Qi' inherited the throne and took the entire prince team to live in the palace Weiyang Palace, the new crown prince team began to prepare.

For example, a few years ago, Dou Ying, who was appointed as the 'Prince Zhan Shi', was the person who spoke about the palace at that time.

And some time ago, because the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong was crowned king, all the subordinate officials of the Taigong Palace who were dismissed by the Shaofu were also parts of the normal operation of the Taigong.

In other words: the imperial palace of the Han family, whether there is a prince or not, will always remain in existence and function normally.

- If there is a prince, then it will be at the disposal of the prince;

- If there is no prince, then always be ready for the future prince's dispatch.

And the current Tai Womb is at a very delicate stage.

Past speakers: Prince Zhan Shi (family order) Dou Ying, who has been appointed as the crown prince and the prince, no longer cares about the affairs of the prince's womb, and is only waiting to teach the future prince;

The former subordinate officials of the Imperial Palace were also dismissed by the Son of Heaven because of the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong;

The new subordinate official team has not yet had time to be reorganized.

Therefore, when Liu Sheng came to the palace and sat down at the head of the side hall, there were actually only a dozen palace people in charge of sprinkling and sweeping in the entire palace.

As for the handmaiden?

Ahem······

——As early as when he made it clear that he wanted to canonize Liu Sheng as the crown prince, Tianziqi had vaguely warned Liu Sheng: If you are not at the right age, you must be close to women!

As for what the standard of 'suitable age', Liu Sheng is not sure.

It's just that according to the age of the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong when he gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, Liu Sheng, who is only thirteen years old and is about to be fourteen years old, is afraid that he will have to wait for another year or two.

cough cough cough cough ······

Straight to the point.

Since he has come to the Imperial Palace, even if he has not officially become the prince, Liu Sheng is also interested in this Imperial Palace, which will definitely belong to him.

After a little look at the side hall he was in, he already had a plan in his heart.

"So many incense burners and screens, the girls chirp;"

"—When you move in, you will all leave!"

"What kind of incense burner do you use?"

"The spices burned in the emotional furnace don't cost our family's money?"

Just a few minutes after entering the palace, Liu Sheng was so arrogant that he began to complain about his father.

- There is no need for Liu Sheng to ask: as far as Liu Sheng can see at the moment, dozens of incense burners of all sizes displayed in the side hall must be the stoves that Tianzi Qi once burned money!

"Loser ······"

Another mutter, but it provoked the footsteps of Xia Que who had just walked into the hall;

When Liu Sheng raised his head with an unhappy face, he hurriedly stepped forward cautiously.

"Master ······"

"Public ······"

"—Calling the son is."

Seeing Xia Que's constipated expression, Liu Sheng didn't bother much, and with a soft word, he relieved Xia Que of the siege.

When Xia Que lowered his head as if he had been amnestied, and called 'Childe', Liu Sheng nodded slightly.

"It's all done?"

As soon as Liu Sheng's words fell, he saw Xia Que hurriedly bow again.

"That's it······"

"Except for this side hall, the slaves in the rest of the palaces have issued a ban: except for the palace people who sprinkle and sweep, no one is allowed to enter or leave;"

"The main entrance of the palace was also bolted from the inside of the door, and only one side door was opened."

"Childe's distinguished guests are also waiting outside the side door at the moment······"

The slightly feminine and inexplicably reassuring tone also made Liu Sheng's unconsciously frowning brows quietly relaxed;

After bowing his head and thinking for a moment, he straightened up from the seat at the top, and while arranging his clothes, he continued: "Up and down the palace, where you can not move, try not to move. ”

"The palace people who are in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, you don't have to talk too much, just do your job."

"I'll go to greet you personally, and you have tea ready;"

"And all the 1,000 gold given by the Queen Mother ······"

"Well, take five hundred of them and put them here."

As he spoke, Liu Sheng pointed to the center of the side hall and glanced at Xia Que again.

After Xia Que nodded, Liu Shengcai walked out of the side hall with his head held high and walked in the direction of the side palace gate.

As he walked, he didn't forget to mutter: "No matter how rich you are, you have to know how to save some flowers······"

"Five hundred gold~"

"Tut-tut······"

·

A moment later, Liu Sheng's 'guests' had all been introduced into the side hall.

After that, the crowd sat down on the east and west sides of the side hall in a very interesting seat.

- On the throne, Liu Sheng and Nanpihou Dou Pengzu gave in again and again, but they were finally vacant;

Afterwards, the cousin and nephew took their seats on the east and west sides.

As for the rest, the seating is also very interesting.

The five sons and nephews sent by Dou's relatives were all seated in the east seat in order of age, next to Dou Pengzu, the Marquis of Nanpi;

The west seat, the chief seated by Liu Sheng, is occupied by Liu Pengzu, the seventh son of the emperor, and Jia Gui, the only representative of Jia's relatives.

Zhidu, the representative of the Son of Heaven, still had that paralyzed face, standing indifferently on the side of the main seat;

Liu Sheng's personal eunuch Xia Que quietly walked outside the palace gate, and watched the palace people serve tea, and stood on the side of the palace gate like an old pine tree.

After each of them sat down, Liu Sheng's eyes first looked at his cousin Dou Pengzu who was seated opposite.

"This time, when I was in Changle Palace in the morning, I had already played with the imperial grandmother;"

"At that time, my cousin was also on the side?"

Hearing Liu Sheng's words, Dou Pengzu only nodded with a shallow smile, then turned to the side slightly, and raised his hand towards several clan relatives on his side.

"The prince is ordered by His Majesty to preside over the matter of stabilizing the price of grain in Guanzhong for this and next year, and the Queen Mother has already explained to me."

"These five are the men selected from the clan by me and Wei Qihou, although they are not capable, but they can still be dispatched by the son to do some rough work in front of the car and behind the horse······"

With Dou Pengzu's gentle and gentle tone, Liu Sheng was also full of approachable smiles, and followed the prestige to the five Dou men.

As Liu Sheng expected: the five people are all middle-aged people in their early thirties, and they all have the word 'steady' all over their bodies.

As for Dou Pengzu's politeness, Liu Shengzi didn't take it seriously.

——When the clan of the Empress Dowager of the Dynasty, she sent five of the most capable men in the prime of life, each with five official positions ranging from 600 to 1,000 stones, and what they did was to help the quasi-prince stabilize the price of grain!

If Liu Sheng really used these five people as strong men according to what Dou Pengzu said, Liu Sheng would not be able to pass the level of the Empress Dowager Dou alone.

Knowing this in his heart, Liu Sheng was not ambiguous, and after a little politeness with these five cousins, he directly spread the five official positions given by the Son of Heaven to the five people.

"Since Uncle Cousin has already explained to the five, then I, the junior, will not go into details."

"This time, it is difficult to say, and I need to deal with many princes and nobles;"

"If it's simple, there are not many things that need to be done."

"-I just hope that you can look at the face of the imperial grandmother and help the younger generation."

"After all, this time, the matter of stabilizing grain prices in Guanzhong is not only related to the livelihood of millions of households and millions of rural households in Guanzhong······"

A vague reminder, combined with Liu Sheng's humble face, caused the five cousins on the opposite side to look solemn, and they got up together and gave Liu Sheng a solemn hand!

"Childe's meaning, we understand!"

"When we came, the Queen Mother had already taught us: no matter what the son says, we just have to do it!"

"If we can't do it, then even if the prince is merciful, the queen mother will definitely punish us."

"So, Childe can rest assured."

Seeing the posture of the five cousins, and then at the cousin Dou Pengzu on the opposite side, there was also a solemn look on his face, and Liu Sheng's heart immediately understood.

- Empress Dowager Dou, I'm afraid that I have already told these six people: This time, the matter of calming the grain price in Guanzhong will be directly related to whether Liu Sheng can successfully become a reserve!

In addition, the Empress Dowager Dou also issued death orders to these six people, such as 'You must do this well and put my grandson on the throne of the prince'.

Realizing this, Liu Sheng's heart couldn't help but warm, but he made a flattered look on his face, hurriedly got up, and bowed his hands to the five cousins in front of him!

Although he did not express any thanks or promises, this worship alone was enough to make the five people feel safe.

——This worship is the promise of Liu Sheng, who is about to become the prince of the prince, to the five cousins in front of him, and even the entire Dou family······

After bowing again, Liu Sheng and the five cousins on the opposite side sat back in their seats with a smile.

Then, Liu Sheng looked at his cousin Dou Pengzu on the opposite side, and his face couldn't help but be sad again.

"This time, my cousin led the Su Du Lieutenant, and the five uncles and uncles were all dispatched by my cousin."

"——In the future, in the imperial palace, there will be many princes, nobles, and merchants in Guanzhong."

"At that time, my cousin will accompany me to meet the princes and nobles, and it can be regarded as a battle for me."

"And the five uncles and uncles need to work harder—if necessary, to meet the merchants who come to my door for me."

"After all, my nephew's current identity is no longer very convenient to meet with businessmen and others······"

Hearing Liu Sheng's words, Dou Pengzu's smiling face couldn't help but feel a little solemn.

After thinking for a moment, he turned his head sideways with a serious face and looked at the five clansmen beside him.

"Childe's words, have you memorized them?"

"All businessmen and the like who come to the door cannot step into the door of the palace."

"You will discuss it yourself, and each of you will lead the merchants who come to your door to your own house to negotiate."

The low and powerful words caused the five people to nod their heads in unison, with a confident face of 'no problem'.

Seeing that the five of them should respond, Dou Pengzu looked at Liu Sheng again and nodded slowly.

I saw Liu Sheng chuckling and arching his hand, bowing to Dou Pengzu for a while, and then turning sideways and looking at his brother Liu Pengzu and maternal uncle Jia Gui on his side.

"As for the elder brother and uncle, they are responsible for counting and accepting the money brought by the noble relatives and Guanzhong merchants in the palace, and keeping accounts."

"This account is for the purpose of my father and the emperor, as well as the court and hundreds of officials;"

"The money collected will also go into the Shaofu's money."

"There must be no mistakes."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Pengzu and Jia Gui also hurriedly got up and solemnly bowed to Liu Sheng.

Then, under Liu Sheng's politeness, they each sat back in their seats.

Until this time, Liu Sheng had not yet said: what should be done to stabilize grain prices this time;

But Liu Sheng obviously didn't have his own plans and plans for these people.

"This incident is related to the stability of the temple and the society, and it is the first state affair that my father ordered me to handle!"

"Forgive the juniors, for the time being, I can't tell all the elders."

"But all the details of this matter, the father and grandmother are fully aware of it, and the elders don't have to worry."

The words that were neither humble nor arrogant only provoked everyone to nod their heads, and they all cast their doubtful eyes on Liu Sheng, who was full of confidence.

I saw Liu Sheng chuckling and lowering his head, pointing to the five hundred gold cakes in front of him, which were neatly stacked in the center of the hall, but were deliberately ignored by everyone until this moment.

"I've heard that if you want to ask someone to help you, you should give enough sincerity so that those who are willing to help you don't have to worry about the future."

"These five hundred gold should be the meager intentions of the younger generations, and the elders can use them themselves,"

The words finally made everyone chuckle and raise their heads, and they didn't have to deliberately take their eyes off the pile of yellow gold cakes.

After a moment's slightly restrained silence, Dou Pengzu, the eldest of the Nanpi Hou among the people present, chuckled and looked at the few Dou clan relatives beside him, and waved his hand at the pile of golden cakes.

"I have already inherited the title of Marquis of Nanpi, and if I take the honorarium of the son, I will make people laugh when I pass it on."

"If you are embarrassed to take it, then it can be regarded as accepting the kindness of the son for me, right?"

As soon as Dou Pengzu said this, the five Dou men finally had no worries;

He smiled and stepped forward, each picked up dozens of gold cakes, and sat back in his seat.

Seeing that there were still a lot of golden cakes left, Liu Sheng turned sideways again, and looked at his side with a little guilt, across his brother Liu Pengzu, and his maternal uncle Jia Gui who was sitting at the end of the seat.

"This time, I feel a little guilty for not being able to get an official position for my uncle;"

"Uncle will take all the rest of the gold."

Unexpectedly, when Jia Gui heard this, he only shook his head with a shy smile and bowed to Liu Sheng.

"Childe, it's too much of an outlook."

"No matter what, Childe's mother is also the eldest sister of Chen's mother."

"If you serve your son, you have to reach out to your son to ask for an official position and gold, and if you spread it, I am afraid that you will lose the reputation of your ancestors."

"Please also son, forgive me for not being able to obey my fate······"

Seeing his uncle's resignation, Liu Sheng only subconsciously turned his eyes sideways and looked at the five Dou cousins on the opposite side;

When they saw these people, they all looked at their maternal uncle Jia Gui with appreciation, and Liu Shengcai finally nodded his head with a warm face.

"Since my uncle said so, the nephew won't force it."

"What's that, Summer Sparrow;"

"Take all the rest of the gold."

"Ahem, cough, ······"

His face was slightly stiff and he gave an order, and then watched Xia Que take a few palace people to take away the remaining more than 300 gold cakes, and Liu Sheng coughed dryly twice;

After a while, he raised his head with a smile on his usual face and looked at his cousin Dou Pengzu on the opposite side.

"Then next, my nephew and the elders will talk about what to do······

After the two more are written, hmm···

It's still a bit difficult, and the third is that if you insist on writing, I'm afraid it will affect the quality.
