The head of a country is the emperor.

Below the emperor is the prince.

That is, the crown prince.

In this era of poor medical conditions, the importance of the crown prince has been infinitely magnified.

If something unexpected happens to the emperor, the prince's succession can continue the dynasty's rule, and more importantly, maintain the stability of the country.

This is a mature inheritance system.

Emperor Xuande's health was so poor that he asked Empress Wu to assist him during the imperial court, and they were known as the Two Saints during the imperial court.

Emperor Xuande, who was in poor health, was quite satisfied with his beloved son, Prince Li Xun. Whenever he mentioned the prince to his ministers, he would always say that he was my Qianliju.

The relationship between the emperor and the prince was quite close, which is why the filial emperor dared to reveal the scars under the so-called prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.

To carry out innovation without the support of the emperor and empress is to seek death.

Unexpectedly, before the reform was successful, the filial emperor was deposed and then poisoned.

In this process, the figures of aristocratic families are looming.

Even the clan is involved.

When the food and drinks were served, the emperor raised his glasses and said: "Since you two have returned to Chang'an, you can live in peace. If you have nothing to do, come to the palace and talk to me. Just tell me that Aye was doing very well back then."

Little by little, he described the image of his father in his mind that he had no impression of.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" King Yong raised his glass.

"Your Majesty, may the two of you go out of the city to play occasionally?" King Zhen asked.

King Yong froze.

"Of course it is possible!" said the emperor.

King Yong relaxed, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." King Zhen drank the same drink, and then said: "This time I went to Shu, and the false emperor made many ugly appearances along the way. After arriving in Shu, he used money and rewards to win over the officials, generals, and local big families.

.Before I set off, he was training the army."

The emperor nodded, "Eat vegetables."

King Zhen laughed at himself and said, "I have forgotten that your Majesty is a famous commander in the world, so naturally he is not afraid of his so-called tigers."

This King Zhen seems a bit unruly!

Han Ze took another look at King Zhen.

The three brothers were half drunk that day, and then the emperor rewarded them with some property, which was considered as a token of family wealth. But the strange thing was that there was no land reward.

"Why is this?" After returning to the palace, King Zhen asked his aide Jiang Yu to discuss the matter.

"Your Majesty has just said that the people of the Tang Dynasty should not be slaves. If the king is rewarded with land, who will cultivate it?" Jiang Yu sighed while stroking his beard: "This emperor can be said to have a heart of stone!"

"Let's see for the time being. I think he needs a step up." King Zhen put the matter aside and said: "Back then, the emperor said that Aye was killed by poison. The emperor said that he would investigate. Do you think this matter can be investigated?"

"This matter is inseparable from those powerful families." Jiang Yu shook his head, "If the emperor wants to get to the bottom of it, it will eventually lead to conflict. The world is in shock. What good will this do to him?"

"Father's hatred!" King Zhen also shook his head, "But father's hatred is too light compared to the country. Look at the false emperor, who was able to launch palace coups twice and oust his grandmother and father for the sake of the throne."

"In heaven, there is no father or son!"

…

After returning to his place, Li Laoer shouted that he was not full.

"Why are you not full?" the emperor asked.

They were walking in the palace, with the chamberlain holding a lantern in front of them, the emperor and the queen walking side by side, and the prince and Prince De behind.

Li Laoer said: "The female officer said before that you should eat more carefully, otherwise it will embarrass Aye and Aniang, so I will bear it."

"It's a shame for you." The emperor asked with a smile, "Are you full?"

"Never." A Liang said.

"Let's go get some food as a family."

The emperor asked for charcoal fire and a grill.

"Your Majesty..." Han Ze said awkwardly: "You cannot raise fire in the palace."

"Is this fire?" The emperor pointed at the charcoal fire. "There is no flame at all."

Tsk!

A string of grease dripped on the charcoal fire, and the flames rose.

Han Ze: "..."

"Let's go!"

The emperor was completely shameless.

The family gathered around the grill, which reminded Han Ze of a private family.

A female official came over and whispered: "If outsiders find out, we will report to the meeting..."

"Do you think His Majesty will care?" Han Ze said.

The female officer thought about it carefully and said, "Probably not."

"My, my!"

When the meat was roasted, Li Laoer shouted, and the emperor asked with a straight face, "What are the rules?"

Li Laoer pursed his lips, "Aye and Aniang will eat first, brother will eat first..."

The emperor and the empress each had a skewer, followed by A Liang. A Liang took the skewers and handed them to Li Laoer, "Brotherly courtesy! Eat!"

The emperor and empress smiled at each other, and the food was especially delicious.

After eating the barbecue, the emperor took his family together.

"Don't go to bed immediately after eating, as it will hurt your spleen and stomach."

"Really?" Ah Liang felt unbelievable.

"Of course it is true." The emperor said to the queen: "Your grandma is a famous doctor, you can ask her."

"Aniang."

Zhou Ning nodded, "Yes."

The queen would often be shocked by the knowledge points that the emperor came up from time to time.

For example...

In the dead of night when people are quiet.

"Aning, this is how you can get pregnant."

"Who said that? It's so embarrassing!"

"This is what a foreign doctor said, and it is quite effective."

"Where is the doctor?"

"The doctor... is on the telephone pole."

"What is a telephone pole?"

"It's...the thing that called. Come on, let's call first..."

…

After a good night's sleep, the outside world was a little surprised.

When King Zhen and King Yong entered the palace, in the eyes of the outside world, the emperor should give generous rewards. Not to mention the magnanimity of the Shu man who did not take money seriously, at least the two brothers should be able to be called rich in Chang'an.

But the money rewarded by the palace only filled a few carts.

You’re so stingy!

Just when everyone was complaining, news came.

"This is your Majesty's private property."

The emperor, who had used the small treasury, felt a little distressed. He frowned when he looked at the memorandum on rectifying the official administration handed over by Luo Cai.

"Too polite." The emperor wrote and commented: Be more ruthless!

After the memorial was sent back, Luo Cai saw the emperor's annotation and smiled bitterly at the two ministers: "Is Your Majesty trying to make those corrupt officials lose their skin?"

After Liu Qing learned about this, he said to Luo Cai: "Although your Majesty was born in a noble family, he started from a humble background. When he was in Xiaohe Village, he had a very good understanding of officialdom. Now, he must act quickly.

Definitely ruthless."

Luo Cai sighed: "How difficult is it to innovate! Nan Zhouxu and Sun Shi are examples of this. Please advise Your Majesty when you have time, and try to make it better gradually."
