Maybe it's an illusion, or maybe it's not.

Since this day - the fifth year of the Son of Heaven's new era, the 15th day of the winter and November 15th, the crown prince Liu Sheng seems to have completely changed a person.

In the past, whenever the word 'Liu Sheng' appeared in Chang'an, it often meant that Gongzi Sheng was in trouble again, or he was in the limelight again;

Whenever Liu Sheng, or words such as Gongzi Sheng and Prince Sheng, the faces of the people of Chang'an will subconsciously smile with their aunts.

- Hmm;

- The crown prince is a dutiful son, and he is also a 'little husband' with a violent temper and jealousy and hatred.

But from that day on, Liu Sheng no longer seems to be the Liu Sheng of the past.

Of course, this does not mean that a Shuowang dynasty will make Liu Sheng no longer filial, no longer affectionate, and no longer jealous and hateful;

But from that day on, Liu Sheng's body has an extra thing that ordinary people, even 'people' don't have.

Reason.

From that day to the dawn of the dynasty until decades later, when Tianzisheng was buried in Maoling, his absolute sanity never disappeared for even a moment······

·

"Ah Sheng······"

Weiyang Palace, Jiaofang Palace.

At the end of the Shuowang Dynasty, the ministers and officials of the court and the central government walked out of the Sima Gate of the Yang Palace as usual, and slowly walked outside the Changle Palace, expressing their loyalty and respect to the Empress Dowager Dou of the current dynasty.

As for Liu Sheng, it was unusual, after the end of the court meeting, he came to the Jiaofang Hall where his mother Queen Jia was located.

If it was in the past, on such a special day, when he came to his mother alone, Liu Sheng would definitely be like a child, lazily resting his head on his mother's lap, so as to enjoy a rare moment of peace.

But today, Liu Sheng stepped into the main hall of Jiaofang Hall without joy or sorrow, and like every ordinary prince and princess, he bowed to his mother Queen Jia.

"Son, see the queen mother."

···

"Madame Bo."

Without forgetting to bow slightly to Mrs. Bo beside her mother, Liu Shengcai sat down on the side of the hall under the hesitant gaze of his mother, Queen Jia.

After a while, Mrs. Bo, who was still sitting next to Queen Jia, was urged by Queen Jia's incessant gaze, and even pleading, and said with a somewhat weak heart: "Fang, Fang is looking at the court; ”

"I heard that Your Majesty, how many things did you ask the prince?"

···

"We women should not have asked about the affairs of the court."

"I just heard from the people in the palace that the seventh is going to be crowned the king······"

Hearing the lingering anxiety in Mrs. Bo's words, Liu Sheng did not make it difficult for this introverted and duty-bound hard-working person.

He just nodded suddenly, and naturally took over the conversation.

"This morning, in the Shuowang Dynasty, Zong Zheng proposed to let the king of Jiaoxi leave Beijing to become a vassal, and begged his father and grandmother to discuss and let the seventh brother also be crowned a vassal king."

"My father couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he asked him."

"I suggest that my father, stay in Chang'an for another year, and not in the Qilan Palace, but directly in the palace."

"As for the seventh brother, he has indeed long passed the age of becoming a king."

"——Earlier, the father and grandmother wanted to make the seventh brother the king of Zhao, but during the rebellion of Wu Chu, the king of Zhao did not rebel after all;"

"My father is worried that the seventh brother will become the king of Zhao too soon, and he will let the world gossip, saying that Zhao Wang Sui did not oppose at all, and it was his father who coveted Zhao Guo and forced Zhao Wang Sui to kill."

"Out of this consideration, my father did not rush to make the seventh brother the king of Zhao back then, but abolished the Zhao country as Zhao County, and let the seventh brother stay in Chang'an."

"Now, nearly two years have passed since the Wu Chu Rebellion, and it is time for Zhao County to reset the 'Zhao State'."

"After all, not long ago, the Huns just arrived in Yanmen County, looted and damaged Yanmen Garden, and my Han family suffered a huge loss."

"If I don't divide a young and strong and solid and reliable King Zhao, the side wall of my Han family will probably not be able to regain peace for a long time······"

dragged out the incident that happened in the Xuanshu Hall this morning, as well as his own consideration and consideration of this matter, Liu Sheng still had a smile on his face that could not see joy and anger, and was quite deliberate.

And after Liu Sheng's watertight answer, Mrs. Bo, who was already weak and didn't dare to look at Liu Sheng, also threw the same look of help to Queen Jia beside her.

In the past time, Queen Jia and Mrs. Bo got along very well.

First, it was Liu Pengzu, the son of the two 'shared', who created a lot of opportunities for the two to meet and talk, so that the two cultivated a real friendship;

Second, it is the extremely similar temperament of the two, which makes the two people, who should be 'incompatible' in the eyes of outsiders, inexplicably have a feeling of huddling together for warmth.

- If you don't understand the character of these two people, I'm afraid no one wants to believe that the current queen and the abolished queen can talk happily a few days ago;

No one wants to believe that a deposed queen can cast such a trusting look of help to the new queen who replaces him······

"Old Seven, is this going to be crowned king······"

Receiving Mrs. Bo's eyes for help, Mrs. Jia was also panicked for no reason.

subconsciously glanced at Liu Sheng, and seemed to sigh and let out a soft murmur;

Seeing that Liu Sheng only nodded unmoved, Mrs. Jia finally took a deep breath, strengthened her courage, and looked at her son not far away, whose temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Ah Sheng, willing to be the seventh?"

"I don't want Lao Qi to stay by my side for a while longer, so that I can help ······"

"——Recently, my father has come to the pepper room, and it can be said that he is not diligent."

"-The body and bones of the father, and the heart of the queen mother, should also be counted?"

Without waiting for Queen Jia's words to fall, Liu Sheng said a word coldly, and instantly dispersed the courage that Queen Jia had just mustered;

Seeing that his mother lowered her head again and again, Liu Sheng suddenly felt a trace of unbearability in his heart;

It's just that now, Liu Sheng can't continue to be soft-hearted.

- Even Liu Sheng himself was forced and pushed forward by the Son of Heaven;

Liu Sheng can't take care of his mother Queen Jia, and leave another period of time to 'adapt to his identity' and 'understand his responsibilities'······

"The matter of Ah Yu becoming a vassal, the focus is to keep Ah Yu away from the center of the court."

"-After all, in the past few years, the lady of the Qilan Hall has really been a little uncomfortable;"

"If Ah Yu is allowed to continue to stay in the Qilan Palace, the final result of this matter is likely to be bloody."

"Whether it's staining the blood of my brother's siblings or letting my younger brother lose his mother, it's not the result I want to see······

···

"The seventh brother is the king, and it has nothing to do with the seventh brother himself."

"If you only consider Brother Qi, of course I hope that Brother Qi will stay in Chang'an, and the longer he stays, the better."

"——Whether it is to help me more, or to accompany Mrs. Bo more, I am happy to do so."

"But considering that the seventh brother is the king of the domain, he wants to be the king of Zhao and the border wall for my Han family, especially when Yanmen has just been invaded by the Huns, and the Hun mission has already arrived at the stall of Chang'an;"

"Considering all the things here, the seventh brother is crowned the king, which is something that must not be delayed any longer."

"Unless the seventh brother doesn't become the king of Zhao, someone else will be the king of Zhao."

"It's just the position of King Zhao······"

In the end, Liu Sheng stopped talking at the right time and cleverly threw the question back to Mrs. Bo and his mother, Empress Jia.

The meaning of Liu Sheng's words is also very clear;

- The point of the seventh brother's sealing of the king is not 'the seventh brother is the king', but the urgent need for a prime-aged prince to sit on the side wall of the Zhao State.

If the two of you are really reluctant, then you can only settle for the second best thing and change someone to be King Zhao.

In short: whether Liu Pengzu became a vassal or not, the state of Zhao must become the 'state of Zhao' again, not the current 'county of Zhao'.

As for who else can be King Zhao besides Liu Pengzu······

"In this way, Lao Qi, it is indeed necessary to be a vassal if he has to be crowned a king."

"After all, Zhao is not better than Qi and Chu in the south, and it is not better than small countries such as Hejian and Jiangdu."

"Ah Sheng is the crown prince, so the throne of Zhao can really only be sat by the seventh child."

"Since right now, there must be a king in the Zhao Kingdom, and the sooner the better······"

"Alas~"

"Old Seven, it is true that you have to be crowned a king······"

Full of melancholy and repeating again, 'Lao Qi really has to be crowned a king', Queen Jia sighed and turned sideways and gently patted the back of Madame Bo's hand;

handed over a helpless look, then lowered his head bitterly, and fell into reluctance to travel with his son with Mrs. Bo.

- Liu Pengzu, the 'only son' of Mrs. Bo;

In the past, Mrs. Bo had no children and no daughters, so that even if she lived in the Jiaofang Hall of Weiyang Palace and was the queen, she was still timid, and her waist was not straight.

After Liu Sheng was named the crown prince, Mrs. Bo's living conditions and mental condition have undoubtedly improved a lot.

Although he is still harmless to humans and animals, he can at least hold up his wife's shelf and not be bullied by his subordinates.

It's just that now, the only son has to stay away from him, and Mrs. Bo's future life ······

"After the seventh brother leaves Beijing, if the lady is really bored in the North Palace, she can also live directly in the pepper room;"

"I can call the shots in this matter."

Seeing that Mrs. Bo once again revealed the miserable look that she had a few years ago, anyone could bully twice, Liu Sheng did not hesitate to speak, and gave a guarantee within his ability.

After Mrs. Bo smiled politely, and lowered her head again in disregard, Liu Sheng moved his eyes to his mother, Empress Jia.

"At the age of self-remembering, the queen mother is in the palace, and everyone she sees is polite;

"There has never been a person like Mrs. Bo who can make the queen mother smile and talk about herself together."

"Living in the pepper room as a 'guest', the lady can be a companion with the queen mother."

"After all, I have lived in the pepper room for so many years, and my wife will not be used to living in it······"

Listening to Liu Sheng's more serious and more detailed words, Mrs. Bo, who was still just a polite Liu Sheng, couldn't help but be slightly stunned;

After a while, when he raised his head thoughtfully, he saw the invitation he expected from Liu Sheng's gaze······

"Prince, Prince······"

"—Madame, don't think much about it;"

"-Brother Qi and I, the same mother."

"-Even in the past, when Seventh Brother did not succeed to Madame's knees, Seventh Brother and I also called Madame 'Queen Mother' for many years."

"—Even if I don't pass under my wife's knees, my wife will always be half my mother."

Without waiting for the hesitation in his heart to speak, Liu Sheng made another almost explicit euphemistic invitation, which completely made Mrs. Bo settle down.

Liu Sheng is inviting Mrs. Bo.

To put it more simply, it's an alliance.

Perhaps for the current mother and son of Liu Sheng and Empress Jia, Mrs. Bo, a 'former queen' who was deposed, has almost no use value.

But for the current Mrs. Bo, Liu Sheng's 'invitation' made Mrs. Bo unable to think of a reason to refuse.

What Liu Sheng wanted to do, Mrs. Bo didn't quite understand;

But Mrs. Bo knew very well: she had to agree, and she could only agree.

Maybe agreeing to it won't bring any benefit to Mrs. Bo;

But if you refuse······

"Jiaofang Palace, not everyone can live in."

"Especially me, I shouldn't be."

"It's just that the prince has this heart, and the queen is indeed close to me;"

"If I refuse, then I don't know what to do······"

Meaningfully, Mrs. Bo turned her head slightly sideways and timidly glanced at Queen Jia beside her;

After Empress Jia smiled warmly, she lowered her head and said, "It's still not appropriate to live in directly." ”

"But if the queen asks someone to summon ······"

"After all, in this harem, the queen is the sky."

"The queen summons her, but anyone in the harem will never be disobeyed."

···

"What happens in the future, I will do it all according to the queen's orders."

"The queen calls, and I will come;"

"The queen stays, I don't dare to disobey, and I can only stay for one night trembling."

"It's just a guest house, it's really not too long."

"Coupled with my identity, I really have to be taboo······"

Hearing the deep meaning of Queen Bo's words, Liu Sheng nodded with a smile.

"Madame knows the importance, understands the general situation, and takes the overall situation into account;"

"With a lady by the mother's side, the queen mother can also learn a lot."

"—The prince is serious."

"-The queen in person, dare not call it a 'taught' ······"

"Madame is gracious······

After a polite conversation with Mrs. Bo and the matter was completely settled, Liu Sheng smiled a little on his face;

When Mrs. Bo's complexion returned to normal, Liu Sheng corrected her complexion a little.

"Mrs. Wang and Wang Meiren used to live in the Qilan Palace;"

"Now, Mrs. Wang and Wang Meiren have their own children, and I am afraid it is a little inappropriate to continue to live together."

"-Eryi, let Xiao Wang Beauty, live in the Phoenix Palace."

"Anyway, the Phoenix Palace, if it's empty, it's empty······"

···

"And the frogs;"

"As a man, entering and leaving the palace every day is a little inappropriate after all."

"When the queen mother is free, she still has to summon Wang Meiren and beat her words."

"After all, the things in the harem, the queen mother, have to take care of some ······"

seemed to be a suggestion, but the words with a faint sense of command only caused Queen Jia to tremble again!

Especially when she heard the words "Phoenix Palace", "Tian Wei" and "Knocking", Queen Jia was even more shocked, and even snorted heavily.

"This ······"

"Isn't it a little too deceitful and true?"

But when he saw Liu Sheng hearing this, he only shook his head unswervingly.

"There are some things that must be done;"

"If we don't do it, people will think that we are easy to bully."

"There are some infamy, you must memorize;"

"If you don't memorize it, it will give birth to thoughts that you shouldn't have······"

···

"These two things, the queen mother should hurry up."

"On the side of the father and grandmother, the sons and daughters will report to themselves."

···

"And Mrs. Wang's daughters, they are not young anymore;"

"The master of the queen mother's harem should also worry more about the marriage of the 'children'?"

"Even if the sons can't take care of it, the 'daughters' and the queen mother should always have more snacks······"
