"This Uncle Tian ······"

"It's so easy to talk to?"

"—Tell him to do the internal history, and he will do the internal history;"

"If you say let him clean up the mess left by Chao Cuo, he is willing to clean up the mess of Chao Cuo."

"This man ······"

"Don't have a temper?"

After meeting Uncle Tian in the imperial palace and having a brief exchange, this question was in Liu Sheng's mind for several days.

Until the halfway point of autumn and September, this year's autumn harvest was basically coming to an end, and when the Empress Dowager Dou took the opportunity to stop a 'family banquet', Liu Sheng was still puzzled by this.

Seeing the baby grandson lying down without taboos, lying on his lap with a frown, and asking like this, the old face of the Empress Dowager Dou covered with ravines only immediately swelled with a burst of pity.

"Idiot~"

"It's not that Tian Ziqing has no temper~"

"It's my precious grandson, the emperor's precious son, he Tian Ziqing, he doesn't dare to be resentful."

"Tian Ziqing's temperament is indeed not the kind of person who drills the horns of the bull."

"As long as you figure it out, it's always easy to accept some things and some changes."

"—especially because of the will of the sovereign, the changes, the changes, the ······"

Hearing his grandmother's words, Liu Sheng was still lying on the lap of his grandmother Empress Dowager Dou, although he nodded slightly, his tightly furrowed brows were not soothed at all.

In front of the imperial couch, Queen Jia and Mrs. Bo sat next to each other, looking at Liu Sheng's appearance, and their faces were full of aunt smiles that looked like a person;

Behind Mrs. Bo, Liu Pengzu, the seventh son of the emperor, sprinkled his slightly envious and longing gaze on the figure of Liu Shengping lying on the imperial couch.

And next to the Empress Dowager Dou and the ancestor and grandson of Prince Sheng, Tianzi Qi, who was sitting on the royal couch, looked at Liu Sheng's posture like this, and only lowered his face gloomily······

"Anyway, I'm also a prince, and I don't know any etiquette······

seemed to be talking to himself, but it was obvious that he could raise the volume of a 'whisper', and he couldn't escape the ears of the Empress Dowager Dou, who had become more and more acute due to the loss of eyesight.

Hearing the murmur of Tianzi Qi, or complaining and complaining, the Empress Dowager Dou only turned her head slightly to the side lightly;

The gaze that could no longer be focused on one place, and even failed to focus on a certain point on Tianzi Qi;

But just this movement of the head on the side made Tianzi Qi subconsciously prop his hands on his side, and he was ready to get up at any time······

"My grandson, I'm spoiled by myself~"

"If the emperor can't get used to ······"

Speaking in an extremely indifferent tone, Empress Dowager Dou lowered her head slightly, and looked roughly at her grandson Liu Sheng, who was lying on her lap and looking at her with her head high.

"If you can't get used to it, then the emperor, come to replace Xiao Jiu."

"——The family happiness of the children and grandchildren around the knees, the emperor, always has to allow my wife to enjoy it."

"If my grandson doesn't want to do this, then let my son do it······"

At first glance, it sounds ordinary, but in fact, there are already some complaints about Tianziqi's "don't care about my own mother", and even some resentful words, which naturally made Tianziqi's face tense slightly.

After a long time of muttering with an uncertain expression, he finally had to secretly glare at Liu Sheng, and even put on an extremely bright and stiff smile, and turned his body to the side as much as possible to write.

"Hehe······"

"Queen Mother, the words are serious, the words are serious······"

···

"In the past few years, the sons have been busy with state affairs, and they have not been able to fulfill their filial piety in front of their mother."

"It's all Erchen's, isn't it?"

"In the early years, King Liang entered the court at three times and five times, and did his filial piety for his sons and daughters in front of his mother's knees;"

"But after a long time, the government and the opposition are talking about things inside and outside, and King Liang is inconvenient to Chang'an in Chang Dynasty······"

···

"——The sons shoulder the heavy burden of the temple and the society, and they have no time to work on state affairs;"

"——The king of Liang shoulders the livelihood of millions of people in the Liang country, and it is difficult to throw a mouse into the court."

"It is not right for us to be sons to let the queen mother not enjoy the family fun of her children and grandchildren around her knees."

"Now, there are grandchildren gathered at the mother's knees to do their filial piety for their sons;"

"It's too late for Erchen to be happy, how can he be, how dare he not get used to it······"

did his best, with his most approachable, even humble smile, to show his mother that he would "never eat his son's vinegar", and when the Empress Dowager Dou gave a cold light "um", the Son of Heaven Qicai sat up straight.

Xu is because of this little episode, or maybe he deliberately wants to create an opportunity for Liu Sheng: in the subsequent conversation, Tianzi Qi did not say a word from beginning to end.

But even if he was lying comfortably on the lap of his grandmother Empress Dowager Dou, wantonly squandering the privileges of his grandchildren in front of his ancestors, Liu Sheng also knew in his heart that every word he said next, Tianzi Qi, would definitely listen to it with his ears pricked up.

As long as there is a sentence that is not right, Liu Sheng is likely to be 'warmly invited' by the Son of Heaven to go to Weiyang Palace after this family banquet······

"Speaking of which, Tian Ziqing~"

"Hmm······"

"After all, it's more than eighty, right?"

"When Emperor Xiaohui was the emperor, when I entered the palace to serve the Empress Dowager Lu, Tian Ziqing was already a righteous man who was famous all over the world."

"If I'm not mistaken... Hanzhong? ”

"After the case of Emperor Taizu and Zhang Ao, Marquis of Xuanping, Uncle Tian was appointed by Emperor Taizu as the county guard of Hanzhong, right?"

Naturally changing the topic, Empress Dowager Dou asked herself with a tone of half memory and half hesitation.

Seeing that everyone in the hall did not dare to answer, Empress Dowager Dou sighed to herself, shook her head and sighed: "Count it down, although this Tian Ziqing is not the founding father, he is already an old minister of the Four Dynasties. ”

"-It's Taizu's relic~"

"It is an old minister who used to work with Xiao Xiangguo and Cao Chengxiang, and served beside Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Xiaohui······"

was full of sighs, and inexplicably sighed a little melancholy, which also caused everyone in the hall to look different for a while.

——Tianzi Qi, who was sitting next to the Empress Dowager Dou, heard the words Empress Dowager Lu and Emperor Xiaohui, and a stiffness flashed on his face;

And Empress Jia and Mrs. Bo, first, have no interest in understanding these past events, second, they do not have the courage to ask Empress Dowager Dou, and third, they have never experienced it, and they have rarely even heard of it;

Listening to Empress Dowager Dou's nostalgia for the past, the two only lowered their heads tacitly, and quickly entered the state of 'transparent people' that they are good at.

As for Liu Sheng, who was lying on his grandmother's lap and quietly listening to these past events, he also fell into a short period of thought after the Empress Dowager Dou's sighing and sighing.

The Empress Dowager Dou just talked about this past, not many people actually know it.

- As the empress of Emperor Xiaowen of Emperor Taizong, Empress Dowager Dou was not actually a 'acting queen' at the beginning, and she was not even the concubine of Liu Heng, the acting king;

At the beginning, the Empress Dowager Dou entered the palace as a son of a good family and was assigned to serve by the Empress Dowager Lu.

Later, Emperor Taizu Gao died, and Emperor Xiaohui Liu Ying succeeded to the throne, as the mother of Emperor Xiaohui, Empress Dowager Lu naturally wanted to take more power and eliminate more hidden dangers for her young son.

The first thing that Empress Dowager Lu thought of was those Kwantung clan princes who were faintly threatening the central court of Chang'an as 'siblings of the Son of Heaven'.

But his son Liu Ying is a veritable true gentleman and a good man, highlighting a 'friendly brother and brother';

What to do?

In order to ensure that the princes of the clan do not get out of control, and at the same time prevent her son Liu Ying's sense of justice from bursting, regardless of his own throne and interests, to give the head to those half-brothers, Empress Dowager Lu can only choose a relatively gentle way to control these princes who may pose a threat to Liu Ying and the Han family.

- Marriage.

In the feudal era of China, the gentlest way to control a person was always marriage.

As a result, since the death of Taizu Liu Bang and the succession of Emperor Xiaohui, among the clan relatives and princes of the Han family, there has been a trend of 'marrying Lu'.

In such an era when everything was in ruins, the founding monarch died, the successor was weak, and the monarchy fell into the hands of the female Empress Dowager Lu, and the undercurrents of forces were surging, almost every prince of the Liu clan married a queen of the Lu family.

The reason why I say 'almost', not all, is because as early as when Taizu Liu Bang was still alive, the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Fei, the king of Qi Mourning, had already married a wife and had children.

Marrying the daughter of the Lu family to the princes of the clan, and controlling the princes of the clan through these 'queens of the Lu family', once caused a series of tragedies.

Taizu Liu Bang's eight sons, except for the eldest son Qi Mourning Hui King Liu Fei, the second son Xiaohui Emperor Liu Ying, and the third son Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi, who was poisoned by the Empress Dowager Lu, and the old seven Huainan King Liu Chang, who was raised by the Empress Dowager Lu from childhood, the other four clan princes all married the daughter of the Lu family;

Among them, Liu Hui, the fifth child who was first named King of Liang and then moved to King Zhao, chose to die for love because his favorite concubine was forced to die by his queen of the Lu family;

Liu You, the sixth eldest who was first crowned King of Huainan and then moved to King Zhao, was falsely accused by his own Queen Lu in front of the Empress Dowager Lü, so he was imprisoned by the Empress Dowager Lü to death;

Liu Jian, the old eighth Yan king, although he did not completely tear his face with his queen of the Lu family, but after Liu Jian died, the only son left by Liu Jian was also killed by the queen of the Lu family and the Empress Dowager Lu, and declared to the public: King Yan has no queen.

As a result, Liu Jian, the king of Yan, was a physical heir, and the vast territory of Yan also fell into the pockets of the Lu family's children······

After all, among the sons of Emperor Taizu Gao, that is, the fourth king, Liu Heng, the acting king, did not have a conflict with his queen Lu on the premise of marrying the daughter of the Lu family as the queen, and lived until the death of the Empress Dowager Lu.

Therefore, the first queen of the first emperor Liu Heng was not actually the current Empress Dowager Dou, but also a queen of the Lu family;

It's just that this queen of the Lu family, as well as the first emperor and several concubines born to this queen, died of illness one after another in just a few months······

cough cough cough;

Thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak······

Back to the Empress Dowager Dou: At the beginning, she was actually a servant girl beside the Empress Dowager Lu;

When the Empress Dowager Lu wantonly married the daughter of the Lu family, in order to control the clan princes of the Han family through this queen of the Lu family, the maid Dou Yifang next to the Empress Dowager Lu was also given to the acting king Liu Heng as a similar dowry and concubine.

After the death of the Empress Dowager Lü and the outbreak of the Zhulu Rebellion in Chang'an, the first emperor entered the great unification from the dynasty, and successively 'lost' a queen and four concubines, because he gave birth to heirs (Liu Xuan, Liu Qi, Liu Wu), and was able to inherit Dou Ji, who was able to inherit the concubines and others, and became the queen.

It's just that for these old things, unless the Empress Dowager Dou takes the initiative to mention them, no one will dare to mention them;

Even if Empress Dowager Dou took the initiative to talk about it, all most people could do was nod their heads silently and pretend to be a clay statue······

"Uncle Tian, what do you think of Xiao Jiu?"

After mentioning that period of the past, Empress Dowager Dou was silent for a long time and lost her mind for a long time;

It wasn't until a light inquiry that Liu Sheng's attention was finally pulled back to his eyes, and he quietly put away his face and sat up obediently beside his grandmother.

- It wasn't the words of the Empress Dowager Dou that made Liu Sheng dare not continue to lie on his grandmother's lap;

But from the tone of the Empress Dowager Dou, Liu Sheng obviously heard something that he was extremely familiar with.

This thing, Liu Sheng has often sensed from Tianzi Qi recently.

- Empress Dowager Dou, is Liu Sheng in the examination school······

"Uncle Tian is ······"

"It's kind of weird;"

"It's as if this person doesn't think about himself at all."

"—I said that the court lacked internal history, and he had a posture of 'it is true';"

"—I said he's a good candidate, and he's still a 'yes.'"

"In the end, Uncle Tian's doubts about serving as an internal historian are completely devoid of anything like 'what should I do', 'what I need to do', 'what I can't do'."

"It's like this person, who has never only thought about the temple and the community, but will never think of himself, in fact, he is also a mortal person with seven emotions and six desires······"

Speaking hesitantly, Liu Sheng didn't forget to raise his head slightly, and raised his head slightly to Liu Qi, the father on the other side of his grandmother.

"My father said: Your subordinates who don't pursue them can't be used."

"Because those who have no pursuits are either waste, or those whose plans are so great that no one can satisfy them."

"—Grandchildren don't think Uncle Tian is a waste, or a person who 'has a lot of plans'."

"It's just that he has this temperament······"

"Grandson, I really can't tell what's wrong."

In the end, although Liu Sheng still had a little seriousness on his face, he had already subconsciously brought a little coquettish tone in his tone.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, from the chrysanthemum-like smile of the Empress Dowager Dou, it was not difficult to see that the Empress Dowager Dou also understood the deep meaning of Liu Sheng's words.

- Imperial Grandmother~

——Teach your grandchildren~~~

···

"Good~"

"Since Xiao Jiu doesn't understand, then I, a blind old woman, will say a few nonsense words······"

···

"This Uncle Tian, it's Huang Lao who governs it~"

"The way of inaction by law, pay attention to a truth that goes with the flow and is as good as water~"

"For selfish desires, not only Uncle Tian, but almost every real Huang Lao celebrity looks down on ······"

···

"This Huang Lao's learning, it's really the best knowledge of governing the country~"

"After the ninth day, you have to flip through the books of the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu more······"

I don't know what the reason is, but lately the chapters have always been confused and repetitive.

Everyone refreshes it and it should be back to normal.

I'm going to ask tomorrow what's going on, and it seems like this will start after the year.

What kind of wind is this smoking······
