Empress Dowager Dou just left the table at the beginning of the dinner, and dropped such inexplicable melancholy words, the atmosphere in the hall was not warm, and it became more and more deep.

On the royal couch, the Son of Heaven was full of melancholy, but he did not forget to hang a slightly deliberate smile;

At the head of the east seat, Queen Jia and Mrs. Bo on her side wept and sobbed from time to time;

Xixi, Liu Sheng raised his head sideways with a complicated expression, his gaze swept over the face of the Son of Heaven full of vicissitudes, and from time to time let out a few deliberately suppressed lamentations.

When Liu Sheng sat down, Liu Yu, the king of Jiaoxi, who was still a little ignorant, was tightly hugged in his arms by his mother, Mrs. Wang, who was also crying, as if he didn't know what was going on······

"Little Ten~"

"My Jiaoxi King."

"Huh······"

"Come, come forward;"

"Come to me."

The low, even faintly mournful atmosphere was finally disturbed by the slightly hoarse voice of Tianzi Qi;

When everyone raised their heads, they saw Liu Yu, the six-year-old king of Jiaoxi, stepping forward step by step under the call of his father Liu Qi.

stopped in front of the imperial couch, bowed to the Son of Heaven in a proper manner, and before he had time to get up, he was picked up by the Son of Heaven and sat down on his lap.

"Tell me about it;"

"In the past year or so, what have you learned by the side of the eldest brother of the crown prince?"

"Tell me about the princes and kings, who are the powers and responsibilities, and what are the wants, what are the good, what are the taboos, and what are the evils?"

The gentleman's father was kind, kind, and serious, and the voice of inquiry came into his ears, which only caused Xiao Liu Yu to subconsciously raise his head;

What is different from the past and the past is that this time, Xiao Liu Yu neither looked back at his mother, Mrs. Wang, nor turned sideways to cast a look at his brother Liu Sheng for help.

Under the encouraging gaze of the Son of Heaven, His Royal Highness the King of Jiaoxi only hesitated for a moment, and then according to his previous preparations, he told all the drafts that had been typed a long time ago.

"Father."

"In the past year or so, Erchen has learned too many things by the side of the eldest brother of the prince."

"——In Shanglin, the retainers were led by the eldest brother of the crown prince, saw the workshops of the Shanglin Iron Smelting Division and the Arsenal Division, and knew that every arrow feather and every long sword used by my Han family in the war gathered the efforts of countless craftsmen and the savings of the treasury."

"The eldest brother of the prince said: soldiers, murder weapons, have to do it as a last resort."

"Erchen has since learned that my Han family has been forced to be helpless, whether it is against the Xiongnu in the north, Zhao Tuo in the south, or against the rebels and thieves in the Kwantung region."

"The eldest brother of the crown prince also said: When you restore the country, you will die if you are warlike, and you will be in danger if you forget the war······"

···

"In Weibei, Erchen saw the Zhengguo Canal dug in the Qin period, and knew the key points of agriculture, first of all, irrigation."

"From the Zhengguo Canal benefiting more than 100,000 farmers and hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land in Weibei, Erchen understands how important water conservancy and irrigation are to farmers and farmers."

"And the eldest brother of the crown prince asked Shaofu to tell his son: A 300-mile-long Zhengguo Canal was built by Yingqin when he poured the power of the country into the country, took decades, and even almost buried the national fortune and the temple."

"The sons have since understood: All water conservancy matters, although they are successful and beneficial to the world, but if they are prosperous, they will cost the people and money."

"Therefore, even if we have the intention to build water conservancy and benefit the world, we must do it according to the situation of the government treasury and on the premise of trying not to harm the people, especially the poor farmers."

"If building a canal can benefit tens of millions of people, but before it is completed, it will also make millions of people miserable, then such a canal should not be built······"

···

"Regarding governing the country, the eldest brother of the crown prince told his son: The so-called governance of the country is nothing more than internal affairs and foreign affairs;"

"Internal affairs, partition, and division; Diplomacy, separate levies, and diplomatic relations. ”

"However, whether it is domestic affairs or foreign affairs, whether it is governance, legislation, or requisition and diplomatic relations, the people of the country must be the primary consideration."

"The purpose of governance is to enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and the purpose is to eradicate the bad and bad government that hinders the people;"

"The purpose of levying is to sweep away the threat of the people living and working in peace and contentment, and the purpose of handing over is to disrupt the stability of the people by means of war and swords."

"In a word, it is nothing more than that: the farmer is the foundation of the country, and the people are the foundation of the farmer."

"Agriculture-oriented, that is, people-oriented;"

"No matter what the people in power do, as long as they do not forget to put the livelihood of the people as their primary consideration, in the end, if they cannot achieve much, they will not make too unforgivable mistakes."

"On the contrary, if you always disregard the livelihood of the people, no matter how big the plan is and how outstanding the strategy is, you will eventually be pointed out by thousands of people, and even leave a stench for thousands of years······"

It is clearly a childish glutinous tone, but the content is such a profound remark, which caused everyone in the hall to lose their minds for a while;

Except for the 'initiator' Liu Sheng's face as usual, and the face of the Son of Heaven did not change, the rest of the people looked at Liu Yu with a touch of incredulity for a while.

- This, is the King of Jiaoxi?

Is it Liu Yu, the six-year-old Jiaoxi King who is about to become a feudal domain?

You call this a six-year-old?!!

After a short period of stunnedness, Mrs. Wang, who was the first to react, immediately had a look of panic on her face.

After all, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, and it is impossible for this extremely shrewd Mrs. Wang not to understand.

It's just that this lady's worries don't seem to be very necessary.

As far as Mrs. Wang's eyes can see: whether it is the crown prince Liu Sheng, the son of heaven and the son of Qi, or the first queen Jia and Mrs. Bo in the east and west, there is nothing dangerous in the eyes of Liu Yu.

Especially Tianzi Qi, he only glanced at Liu Sheng meaningfully, then lowered his head with a smile and gently pinched Xiao Liu Yu's face.

"Hey, hey!"

"I'm not very old, but I know a lot!"

"I also know that agriculture is the foundation and the people are the people······"

"It seems that by the prince's side, he has indeed learned a lot of things?"

seemed to be joking, and it was quite a meaningful word, but Liu Sheng, who only quoted it, lowered his head with a light smile, and did not rush to talk.

However, Queen Jia, who was on the other side, glanced at Liu Sheng with a little uneasiness, and then pretended to answer indifferently: "Ah Yan, this child, has been precocious since he was a child; ”

"No matter how much the prince mentions his face, it is common to be able to understand these truths."

"If you really want to talk about it, Mrs. Wang is still well-born and well-taught······"

The words that seemed to be beating, but I couldn't hear much of the meaning of beating, provoked Mrs. Wang's half-truths and half-truths to panic;

Liu Sheng was not attracted by this little episode, but still with the faint smile from before, he quietly looked at Tianzi Qi, who was lowering his head and teasing the young son in his arms.

"Hmm~"

"Not bad."

"Then let's talk about it: I went to Jiaoxi Kingdom, Xiao Shi, what are you going to do with this Jiaoxi King?"

This time, Liu Yu did not hesitate at all.

"The eldest brother of the crown prince said: Erchen is too young, if he rushes to power, it is easy to make some mistakes that elders will not make."

"The father is merciful, even if the son makes a mistake, he is not likely to be harsh;"

"But if Erchen's thoughts are wrong, it is likely to displace thousands and tens of thousands of people in Jiaoxi Kingdom, and their families will be ruined."

"Therefore, the retainers intend to follow the teachings of the eldest brother of the crown prince."

"——After arriving in Jiaoxi Kingdom, the sons and daughters should respect the prince and ask for questions about governing the country with an open mind."

"When the minister of state and internal history are in charge of state affairs, the ministers should also watch and study from the sidelines, and conscientiously learn the skills of governing the country."

"When the future is strong and crowned, the father and the emperor will perform the crown ceremony for the sons, and then test the ability to govern the country, and the sons will be ordered to govern the government again, and govern the people of Jiaoxi according to the wishes of the father and the prince and the eldest brother······"

···

"The eldest brother of the crown prince said: It is easy to be a king, as long as it is the son of the emperor, you can be a king;"

"But it is difficult to be a virtuous king, you need to learn a lot of things that ordinary people can't do, master a lot of skills that ordinary people can't master, and endure people and things that ordinary people can't tolerate."

"The eldest brother of the crown prince also said: The first emperor once said to the people around him that the real majesty is not awarded by the brocade clothes on his body and the seal on his waist, but by his own noble virtues, which are spontaneously loved by the people of the world."

"Therefore, as a king, you should not be arrogant and stupid, but you should cultivate virtue inside and learn skills outside."

"Only by truly doing practical things for the people under his rule can he become a virtuous king who is truly loved by the people······"

Another amazing, even amazing description, caused Tianzi Qi to laugh and nod again and again.

It's just that in the end, Tianzi Qi changed his mind again, and asked again with a little playfulness: "Then, what about the Huns?" ”

"For the Huns, my Han family, what should I do?"

"As the king of Jiaoxi of my Han family, Xiao Shi, what are you going to do?"

Hearing Tianziqi's question, Liu Yucai finally couldn't hold back his past habits, and turned to look at the eldest brother of the crown prince who was the head of the west seat.

When Liu Sheng nodded with a smile and shrugged his shoulders slightly rudely, Xiao Liu Yu's face was hesitant, and he once again returned to his previous appearance of being full of confidence.

"The Huns and my Han family are feuding when they are endless!"

"Sooner or later, one day, my Han family will raise troops to the north, step on the Dragon City, and ask the Huns ten times or a hundred times the humiliation suffered by Emperor Taizu Gao and Empress Dowager Lu!"

"But these things are all things that the court needs to worry about, and they are things that the current father and the future prince and eldest brother will do."

"The sages have clouds: not in their position, not in their politics."

"The father has the duties of the father, the eldest brother of the prince has the responsibility of the eldest brother of the prince, and the son has become the king of Jiaoxi, so he has the duties that the king of Jiaoxi should fulfill."

"It is the duty of Erchen, the king of Jiaoxi, to govern the people of Jiaoxi and let hundreds of thousands of farmers in Jiaoxi live and work in peace and contentment, and not to cause chaos to the Chang'an court."

"As for the Huns, if the court needs the help of the Jiaoxi Kingdom, of course the ministers should do their best;"

"But the eldest brother of the crown prince said: As long as the army of the princes of the clan exceeds the necessary range, it will inevitably cause trouble to the Chang'an court."

"Therefore, instead of raising more troops than necessary in the name of 'preparing for war against the Huns', it is better to do your job well."

"As for the Huns, they have their own father, the eldest brother of the prince, and the Chang'an court to worry about."

After saying this last sentence, Xiao Liu Yu's face couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

But after a while, this look of regret turned into a touch of relief under the pleased gaze of Tianzi Qi.

Even if His Royal Highness the King of Jiaoxi is precocious, he is only a six-year-old baby after all;

It is true that for such a wise monarch and lord who has not been born for thousands of years in history, it is extremely difficult to give up his lifelong ideals and his innate mission.

But for His Royal Highness the King of Jiaoxi, who is only six years old and has almost completely lost, or has never had the ability to impact the storage position: compared with the ambition of the 'Northern Expedition to the Huns', it is obviously a more realistic goal to make the monarch's father happy and the prince's eldest brother happy.

After all, as a member of the royal family, compared with the lofty ambition of the 'Northern Expedition to the Huns', Liu Yu, who is only six years old, still understands what 'survival' is.

Obviously, for today's Liu Yu and his mother Mrs. Wang, the corners of the Son of Heaven's grinning mouth are the biggest guarantee for the word 'survival'······

"Okay~"

"At the age of six, you can have such an insight."

"I regret it a little bit, so anxious to make the crown prince······"

It seemed to be a joke, and it seemed to be a temptation to say a word, and then I saw Tianzi Qi raise his head with a smile and stop his playful gaze on Liu Sheng.

"How?"

"If I really have such a plan, the prince, would you like to abdicate and make way for Xian?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three women in the hall changed in unison!

Whether it was Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Wang, or Mrs. Bo, who seemed to have nothing to do with this sentence, their eyes widened in amazement, and they looked up in disbelief!

saw Liu Sheng's face, still with that elegant smile that was not shocked;

After the meaningful words 'abdicate and let Xian' of Tianzi Qi come into his ears, Liu Sheng still didn't look at his younger brother Liu Yu in Tianzi Qi's arms.

Father smiled.

"My Han family, although it was falsely called 'Liu Han' by the common people, but the successive emperors were established, and all the people in the world looked forward to it."

"Whether it is Emperor Gao's filial piety and filial piety, or the first emperor and the emperor of his father, they all ask the people of the world before they obey the order."

"That is to say: the temples and shrines of my Han family have always been lived by sages and people from all over the world."

"If Ah Yu is really more virtuous than his son, then without his father opening his mouth and not using the gossip of the world, his son will naturally sit in the storage seat without shame, and take the initiative to abdicate to let the virtuous ······"

···

"Ah Yu has been precocious since he was a child, and at such an age, none of my brothers have ever had such insight."

"In this way, the father's change of Ayu as the prince should also be convincing to the people of the world······"

As Liu Sheng said one sentence at a time, the faces of Empress Jia and Mrs. Bo became more and more miserable with the naked eye!

As for Mrs. Wang, she was half stunned, but also faintly with a little expectation, and her eyes kept wandering away from Tianziqi and Liu Sheng.

In front of the first royal couch, Tianzi Qi only stared deeply into the depths of Liu Sheng's gaze, and looked at it for a long time, for a long time.

In the end, he lowered his head with a smile and gently pinched the tender flesh on both sides of Xiao Liu Yan's cheeks.

"Yes~"

"—No matter how smart he is, he was taught by the prince······"

"Hey;"

"Hey, hey."

···

"Now that you're ready, let's start packing up."

"If you want anything, you can go and ask the Queen Mother for it."

"As long as the Queen Mother agrees, whatever is available in the Shaofu, I will never be stingy."

"I'm tired~"

"When the time comes, the prince will deliver it for me."

"After all, it's a young brother······
