Weiyang Palace, Xuanshu Palace, Tianzi Qi said a word to Lang Zhong Ling Zhou Ren flutteringly, and announced Li Ji's death sentence.

It's just that unlike later generations, as well as the 'death penalty' in the conventional sense of the Han family today, Li Ji's death will undoubtedly be much more decent.

If nothing else, in the next few days, there will be rumors about 'Kurihime is seriously ill and bedridden'.

At most, there will be news from Changle Palace in three or five days: Li Ji is seriously ill and dies.

After that, the two brothers Liu De and Liu Si received the news and went to their mother's funeral day and night from the closed country.

Liu Sheng naturally didn't know anything about all this.

To be precise: Liu Sheng has long been mentally prepared for this ending of Li Ji.

But what is obvious is that for Li Ji, Liu Sheng has no willingness to save him, nor does he have the ability to save Li Ji.

What's more: Liu Sheng at this time also has something to do······

·

"Your Highness;"

"It's all set."

"It's just that Wei Qihou and Dr. Zhong have not handed over the ······ before"

"······?"

Too womb, side nave.

Looking at the welcome banquet that had been prepared in front of him, and hearing Xia Que's slightly hesitant inquiry, Liu Sheng only shook his head and smiled.

"It doesn't matter."

"Just be ready."

"Uncle Cousin and Doctor Yuan, they will definitely come······"

If he dropped a word, Liu Sheng stepped forward by himself, sat down on the main seat, and quietly waited for his guests to come.

——Today, Liu Sheng will meet his cousin Dou Ying and the middle doctor Yuan An, who came to confess to him, in the side hall of the imperial palace, that is, the 'C hall'.

It's not because Dou Ying and Yuan Ang are not worthy of being invited into the main hall by Liu Sheng;

It is because the distribution and pattern of this palace are very different from the palaces in Weiyang and Changle.

Nowadays, the palace where Liu Sheng is living is actually the first and only palace built by the Han family in the past 50 years.

However, the construction time of this palace was only about 20 years ago, that is, the seventh year of Emperor Xiaowen of the former Taizong - when the crown prince Qi was 15 years old and reached the age of 'opening the mansion', the first emperor ordered it to be built.

Prior to this, the successive emperors of the Han family had never built a palace for their children.

- When Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang died, the prince Liu Ying was only fifteen years old, just when he arrived at the age of Kaifu;

But before the official opening of the mansion, Liu Bang died, and Liu Ying also lived directly in Weiyang Palace.

After that, filial piety Liu Ying died young after only seven years of reign at the age of 22;

When Liu Ying died, Liu Gong, the eldest son of the imperial concubine, was only four years old and was not canonized as the crown prince.

Not to mention the opening of the house, in this era when medicine and witchcraft have not yet separated, it is a question whether a four-year-old child can grow up alive.

So like his father Liu Ying: Liu Gong, the third emperor of the Han family, also lived directly in Weiyang Palace.

After Liu Gong, there is no need to say more.

——In just four years of reign, Liu Gong, the first emperor of Liu Han, who was the 'former young emperor' in the mouth of later generations, was brutally killed by his grandmother Lu Pheasant because of a sentence: I am not strong, but strong will change.

After Liu Gong, Liu Hong, the young emperor who was put on the throne by Lu Pheasant, only reigned for four years, and it is very likely that he was not even ten years old, so he waited for the day when the Empress Dowager Lu died;

After that, it was the princes and ministers who punished Zhu Lu, and the young emperor was first abolished and then killed, and the acting king Liu Heng entered the succession to the unification, which was: Emperor Xiaowen of Han Taizong······

Knowing these past events, and then looking at this imperial palace, everything will make sense.

- Emperor Xiaowen of Xiantaizong, indeed the fifth emperor of the Han family;

However, the prince crown prince ordained by the first emperor, that is, the current Son of Heaven, is only the second prince of the Han family, and the first prince with a prince's palace.

In other words, Liu Sheng's palace has only been built for twenty years;

Liu Sheng is only the second master of this palace.

"A view, a painting hall, a hall C, a back hall ······"

"If you are not invited to the C Temple, where can you please go?"

Gu Gu let out a soft murmur, and when there was nothing to do, Liu Sheng raised his head slightly and slowly looked around.

As the palace built by Liu Heng, the former Emperor of Taizong Xiaowen, for the then Prince Qi and now the Son of Heaven, this palace exudes an extremely distinct 'Taizong legacy' throughout the body.

——The entire palace occupies an area of only 30 zhang in length and width.

Not to mention that it is compared with the two palaces of Weiyang and Changle, that is, compared with the Xuanshu Hall where Tianzi Qi lives, or the Changxin Hall where the Empress Dowager Dou lives, the area of this palace is only one-eighth of the Xuanshu Hall and one-sixth of the Changxin Palace.

It occupies a small area, and there are not many buildings in the palace;

In addition to the four main buildings of Jiaguan, Painting Hall, C-Hall and Back Hall, there is also the east kitchen located in the southeast corner and the thatched toilet on the west side of the palace.

Each of the four major buildings is not very large.

Jiaguan, in fact, is a study in the popular sense, full of all kinds of books and bamboo slips, which is basically Liu Sheng's private office.

Liu Sheng reads a book, writes a letter, or wants to think quietly, or discusses some things with his eldest brother Liu Pengzu and future subordinates, all of which can be carried out in Jiaguan.

As for the back hall, as the name suggests, it is Liu Sheng's residence, that is, a low-profile version of the dormitory - so small that it can only be called a 'hall', but not a 'hall'.

And the C hall, that is, the 'grain selling office' set up by Liu Sheng before, and the side hall where Dou Ying and Yuan Ang are ready to welcome Dou Ying and Yuan Ang today, is the reception room for Liu Sheng to meet the visitors.

The last painting hall, that is, the main hall of the Taigong Palace in the real sense, is not available at any time.

Unless it is a very formal banquet, such as Liu Sheng's banquet for his subordinates, subordinates, or when his brothers came to Chang'an, they were invited by Liu Sheng, otherwise, the painting hall could not be used.

At the same time, even for formal banquets, the frequency of the painting hall should not be too high.

After all, the main hall means the face of a palace complex.

Liu Sheng held banquets and music in his own palace and in his main hall, the painting hall, for days and days, and it was somewhat inappropriate to spread it out.

Just like today, only Dou Ying and Yuan Ang came to the door, and it was not a very formal banquet, just these two visited Liu Sheng in private, so naturally there was no need to invite the two of them to meet in the 'main hall of the Taigong' - the painting hall.

"Hmmm······"

"Speaking of subordinate officials~"

"Why has Shaofu dragged on for so long?"

Frowning slightly, and secretly writing down the matter in his heart, Liu Sheng hurriedly put on a smile like a spring breeze and stood up from his seat.

- Guest, arrived.

"Uncle Cousin;"

"Doctor Yuan."

Wen smiled and stood up, and when the two of them bowed to him first, Liu Sheng returned the salute slightly, and waved his hand to the Xia Que on the side.

When the two of them stepped forward with shame on their faces, they sat down under the guidance of Xia Que, and before they could speak, Liu Sheng's voice, which had gradually changed its tone, was unique to the teenager, so that it could be sounded.

"You're just in time."

"Just now, I went to the Xuanmu Palace to meet my father, and I received another errand."

"—Last time, it was to stabilize the price of food in Guanzhong;"

"This time, it is to unify the currency system of the world······"

said this calmly, although Liu Sheng still had a smile on his face, looking at the eyes of the two people in the banquet, he quietly brought a little sadness.

"It is difficult to say that it is difficult to stabilize grain prices, but to put it simply, it is just the word 'selling grain';"

"And the matter of coins, I'm afraid it's much more complicated."

"- Don't hide it: As early as the beginning of this year, when I was selling cheap grain to the princes, I discovered the phenomenon of deranged coins."

"But when I found my father and asked me about it, my father told me: Regarding money, I have to wait until I really live in the palace before it can be handed over to me."

"Thinking about the two of you, you should also be able to understand how far my Han family is being dragged down by all kinds of miscellaneous money now;"

"And if you want to unify the currency system, it is by no means a year and a half, or even three or two years can be done······"

Simply making an opening remark to show that he was about to promote the unification of coins, Liu Sheng looked at Dou Ying and Yuan An, and couldn't help but become a little serious.

"Uncle Cousin is the hero of my Han family, and he is also my teacher;"

"And Dr. Yuan is the minister of the pillar who entered the first emperor in the early years and has been through the ups and downs of the sea for a long time."

"Today, the two of you happened to come to the door again."

"-If there is nothing else important, I hope that the two of you can stay in the palace for a while;"

"Let me ask more questions: where to start with this money, and what should I want?"

With a serious expression, Liu Sheng stood up slightly and bowed to Dou Ying and Yuan An;

A posture of 'please give me a face, stay a little longer' made Dou Ying and Yuan An, who were sitting at the banquet, stunned in place.

Ha?

This, what's the situation?

Aren't we here to take the blame???

In retrospect, the two of them only looked at each other sideways and looked at each other slightly;

After a moment, they shook their heads slightly at each other, and the two looked up again with doubts on their faces.

"Your Highness······"

"Well, actually, the two of us are here to ······."

stood up, or Yuan An.

But before Yuan Ang could say the second half of his sentence, Liu Sheng, who was sitting at the top of the table, raised his hand inexplicably and forcibly interrupted Yuan An's words.

Such a strange move naturally made Dou Ying and Yuan Ang even more confused;

Liu Sheng turned sideways as usual, looked at Xia Que at the gate of the hall, and cleared his throat quite deliberately······

"Ahem, ahem······"

"Ahh

"-Summer Sparrow~"

"Just now, did the eunuch order come?"

"It was my father who ordered the eunuch, what did he say?"

The inexplicable words only provoked Dou Ying, Yuan An, and even Xia Que himself to be stunned!

After a while, the three of them came to their senses almost synchronously, and Dou Ying and Yuan Ang turned their heads with a 'swish', and their eyes were also locked on Xia Que.

probably understood Liu Sheng's intentions, but Xia Que was still under the gaze of Dou Ying and Yuan An, and involuntarily stumbled;

It was this stumbling tone that gave Xia Que more credibility to his next words.

"Yes, yes."

"Your Majesty, it is true that the eunuch order has brought a message."

"Just ······"

"Just ·········"

After wanting to say a few words and saying "just", Xia Que couldn't help but glance at Liu Sheng, and at the same time glanced at Dou Ying and Yuan Ang on the side of the hall from time to time.

Being by Xia Que like this, Dou Ying and Yuan Ang were also a little embarrassed, so they only turned around with stiff expressions, and put on a posture of 'I have already avoided suspicion';

Only then did Liu Sheng nod his head thoughtfully, and looked at Dou Ying and Yuan Ang with some embarrassment;

After looking at it like this for a while, he waved to Xia Que with a 'stiff' face.

"······"

Seeing Liu Sheng beckoning to him, Xia Que trotted forward as if he had been amnestied, and whispered to Liu Sheng for a while.

Only a moment later, Liu Shengfang's face was still smiling, and he quickly sank······

"What Beiying?"

"When have I been to Beiying?"

"-Go, let the eunuch order check it again!"

"Find out who used this great rebellious word to slander me!"

···

"Humph!"

"I've only been a prince for a few days?"

"-Even the subordinate officials of the Imperial Palace, the Shaofu has not yet given me all the matches!"

"The traveling chariots, horse washing, and accompanying escort warriors have not been seen yet!"

"You actually said I was going to Beiying?"

"It's really a !! heart"

A few angry roars came out, Liu Sheng's face turned red, and his chest rose and fell violently with a heavy snort.

Seeing Liu Sheng's reaction like this, he tasted Liu Sheng's words again, Dou Ying and Yuan An, you look at me, I look at you;

"Your Highness, this is ······"

Dou Ying subconsciously murmured, causing Yuan Ang to nod slightly, and at the same time signaled Dou Ying not to say any more.

In the first position, Liu Sheng still did not give up;

With a tense face, clenched his fists, and gasped for a while with an angry face, he got up from the couch angrily!

"It must be Zhou Yafu's house!"

"-I didn't want my father to make me the crown prince, and I couldn't stop my grandmother from issuing an edict, so I came up with such a way to slander me!"

···

"Go, tell the porter!"

"From now on, all those sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion, whether it is letters, prayers or gifts, will not be accepted!"

"Anyone who comes from the Prime Minister's Mansion, whether it is official or private, is not seen!"

"-If you have anything to say, let Zhou Yafu talk to his father and grandmother!"

"If someone has unclean hands and feet and accepts something from the Prime Minister's Mansion······"

"Humph!"

A few roars of extreme 'anger' made Xia Que bow down in fear, and even said 'don't dare';

After being 'indignant' for a while, Liu Shengcai finally sat down again, only turned his head sideways with a face that could not hide his anger, and looked at Dou Ying and Yuan An, who were not far away, and their faces were constantly changing.

"Alas!"

"Uncle Cousin, Doctor Yuan, I really don't know something~"

"-In the past time, Zhou Yafu has become more and more arrogant!"

"Relying on my own merits to the society, and now I worship the prime minister, I don't take me seriously at all!"

···

"I've wanted to tell you about these things for a long time, but I really haven't been able to spare time."

"Hmm..."

"-After all, it's been more than a month, and I haven't seen my cousin and Yuan An, right?"

"I forgot to ask;"

"During this time, Uncle Cousin and Dr. Yuan are all okay?"

It's still uncomfortable·····

Today is still a change, tomorrow to see the situation.

Thank you for your understanding
