"This is King Zhao, who was deeply favored by the late emperor. The mourning period has not passed yet, so he should put filial piety first..."
When the servant stood in front of King Zhao's carriage and read out the edict, Ruyi was confused.
Today, just when Liu Ruyi was about to leave Chang'an and go to Fengguo, he suddenly received such a strange edict. The edict meant that he was to stay in Chang'an and wait for the mourning period to be completed. Did he want to do it himself? Stay in Chang'an for three years??
Liu Ruyi asked in surprise: "Is it an edict from His Majesty or the Queen Mother?"
The servant did not answer, but looked at him calmly, "King Zhao, please come back!"
Faced with the rudeness of the attendant, Liu Ruyi flew into a rage and was about to draw his sword, but the aide on the side grabbed his hand and advised: "Your Majesty, go back!"
"I remember you!"
Liu Ruyi stared at the man, gritted her teeth and followed everyone back to the palace.
The attendant who stopped him was none other than Zhang Piqiang.
Zhang Piqiang calmly looked at King Zhao's bicycle frame and turned away, sighing helplessly.
Liuhou had already left Chang'an. After bidding farewell to the emperor and the Queen Mother, he left quietly during a banquet in the palace. After the banquet, everyone found out that the real owner Liuhou had left. They were all dumbfounded. And a certain king learned that I was so angry about this that I stamped my feet and shouted that Liu Hou was cunning!
The young servant Zhang Piqiang suddenly became a popular figure in front of the new emperor.
Liu Ying liked him very much and often stayed by her side to let him give her advice. His status in the court also improved rapidly. When the officials saw him, they did not dare to be rude, even if he was so young. Don't dare to look down upon it in the slightest.
However, Zhang Piqiang himself did not seem to be happy because of such attention. He kept a straight face all day long and did not know what he was thinking.
King Zhao returned to the palace angrily and cursed: "How dare a servant be so rude to me!"
"The official position of the servant is not high, but he is His Majesty's mouthpiece. Your Majesty must not offend him."
The counselor said hurriedly.
King Zhao was even more angry. The counselor beside him was called Pang He. He was a talented person discovered by King Zhao in the Kingdom of Zhao. He had traveled to study in the Kingdom of Chu in the early years, and later returned to the Kingdom of Zhao and lived in seclusion. King Zhao spent a lot of time Shao Jin invited him over to serve as his close minister. It is worth mentioning that his great-great-grandfather was called Pang Nuan.
"Your Majesty... you also said that Mrs. Qi once opposed the Queen Mother and almost made a big mistake... The Queen Mother..." Pang Xi whispered: "Every enemy must be avenged. , will never show mercy to any of her enemies...and if she wants to deal with Mrs. Qi, she will definitely not forgive the king."
"When the late emperor just passed away, the Queen Mother was busy with state affairs and never thought about it... Now, as political affairs are gradually handed over to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is afraid that she will take action."
Liu Ruyi's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked: "Then what should I do?"
"Let's first ask if this is what His Majesty meant... If not, we can ask His Majesty for an order... and we can return directly to the country."
"Then what should my mother do? If she is left alone, won't she be killed?"
Liu Ruyi was immediately at a loss.
"Your Majesty... your mother-in-law is the current Queen Mother. Your Majesty will take care of her personally. You don't have to worry."
Seeing that Liu Ruyi didn't speak for a long time, Pang He said again: "You can ask your Majesty first."
When Liu Ruyi walked to the Xuanshi Hall in despair, Liu Ying was discussing the situation of Nanyang and other counties with several important ministers. Liu Ying was very concerned about this. He explained seriously: "Please make arrangements with Cao Xiangbi."
For those cultivated lands, we must strive to allow more people to have land to cultivate, and pardon the local officials so that they can all cultivate..."
Well, a lot of vacant land has appeared in Nanyang and other areas. The reason why it appeared is because Liu Bang personally drew up a not very kind system, which is the Lingyi system. What does this system mean? To put it simply, in
After the emperor died, a city was built near the imperial mausoleum and a group of people from various places were gathered to guard the mausoleum.
Don't get me wrong, they are not calling ordinary people, they are calling rich people and old aristocrats from all over the country. Later people like to call them landlords and powerful people. In the eyes of the Han emperor, the local powerful people are like leeks. Every emperor dies.
They had to be cut once, and the one who cut him the most was Liu Heng, the later Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty.
In this way, it not only enriched the people inside the pass, but also prevented the powerful people outside the pass from getting bigger, and even distributed the real estate they left behind to the people... It can only be said that the fierce men in the early Han Dynasty were really fierce, no matter what
Whether it is military or internal affairs, it is very fierce.
Now that Emperor Taizu Gao has passed away, Prime Minister Cao also brought a group of people from all over the country, and the next step is to redistribute...
Seeing Ruyi coming, Liu Ying ended the meeting, bid farewell to the ministers, and then pulled Ruyi to her side.
"Didn't you say you were going to leave? Why, don't you want to leave me?"
Ruyi smiled bitterly and said: "I was about to leave, but I was stopped by the servant, saying that there was an edict and I was not allowed to leave the city..."
"Ah? Didn't I issue an edict?"
As Liu Ying spoke, she suddenly realized something, and her face suddenly became ugly.
"As you wish... for the next few days, you will temporarily live with me, and I will send you away."
"Brother...I know she is guilty of a lot of crimes...Please save her."
Ruyi covered her face and cried bitterly.
Liu Ying grabbed his shoulder, "Don't cry, I'm here, don't worry!"
After comforting her younger brother, Liu Ying decided to go find the Queen Mother.
When he rushed to Jiaofang Hall, he saw Empress Lu holding a wooden stick and beating Liu Chang's buttocks. Liu Chang's crying and howling reminded Liu Ying of her father, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Brother! Save me!"
It wasn't until Liu Chang shouted that Liu Ying reacted, hurriedly pulled the little guy up, hid him behind him, and asked, "Why did the queen mother beat him?"
Empress Lu gritted her teeth and said angrily: "This son-in-law is not a son of a man! How dare he molest a lady!"
Liu Ying was startled, "How is it possible for my eldest brother to be so young..."
"Lu Wan just came here and said that this prince gave his daughter a jade pendant and a letter, and also agreed to marry her!"
"Hahaha, it's just a child's behavior, so there's no need for Mom to be angry."
"Then Prime Minister Cao also came, holding exactly the same jade pendant! He actually gave Cao Shu the jade pendant and a message..."
"This...he is young..."
"Zhou Bo is here too. His daughter is getting married next month, and he won't let her go!"
"besides...."
"Okay, grandma, you don't have to say anything, just give me the stick!"
"Ah~~~"
"This guy can't do it without discipline. His subordinates really can't control him. I have to find a way to arrange something for him that will make him afraid!"
Liu Ying cursed and suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit, and then said: "Mom, the ministers said that after the emperor ascends the throne, the princes and kings cannot stay in the palace for a long time. I am ready to let King Zhao return to the country early."
Empress Lu narrowed her eyes and said, "Since your Majesty knows this truth, it is the best."
"It's time for the King of Liang, the King of Han, and the King of Wu to return home."
"It's time for me, Prince Tang, to leave too!"
After hearing what Empress Lu said, Liu Ying stood up quickly and said, "The fourth brother, fifth brother, and sixth brother are all young. How can we drive them away in such a hurry? What should we do if something happens?"
"No, brother, you don't have to worry. Ruyi is fine, so what can we do?"
"Oh, Ruyi is the king, aren't your other brothers the same? You are the emperor now. You can just give the order yourself if you want to do anything. Why do you come to me again?" Queen Lu said coldly.
Liu Ying lowered her head and said, "I want Mrs. Qi to leave with King Zhao."
"That stupid woman gives me a headache when I see her, and I feel sick when I hear her name. It would be better to send her to the State of Zhao, or let her fend for herself in the State of Zhao."
"Haha, let's leave together? Do you still remember what she did to you? Assassin the king of Shajia, and are you planning to let her go?"
"I'm talking! Can't you hear me?"
"Mom...she has been punished. Now that my father is gone, please let her go and let her follow Ruyi back to the Kingdom of Zhao..." Liu Ying leaned over and paid her respects.
"Brother! Grandma!! Am I mute or are you deaf?"
Empress Lu looked at Liu Ying, sneered, and said, "There are so many major events in the world. You can't even read the table every day, but you have time to do these things?"
"Mom...I..."
"How can you be an emperor like this?"
Empress Lu said, then turned around and walked into the inner room, never looking at Liu Ying again.
Liu Ying stood up slowly and left helplessly.
Liu Chang crawled to Queen Lu angrily, "You all ignore me! How rude!"
Empress Lu continued to ignore it.
Liu Chang crawled into Empress Lu's arms and said, "Mom, why don't you let Madam Qi go... You told me before that I am the emperor's shield, and I will defend the Tang Kingdom against the Xiongnu in the future.
...Think about it, among the princes now, Ruyi is the one closest to me..."
"Ruyi, although he looks ugly, has a hoarse voice, is short, stupid, and has a bad personality, he has done a pretty good job in Zhao. In the future, if I want to defend against the Huns, he can be my help. What's more, now it's
Your Majesty has come to plead for mercy. If Your Majesty can send Mrs. Qi to him, he will respect Your Majesty even more and become a shield like me."
"My mother once told me: In the face of world events, personal grudges are nothing."
