That night, Liu Che held a palace family banquet in Xuanshi Hall to entertain his brother-in-law and cousin who had returned from Anton.
The main members of Bo Dou's relatives were all involved.
Queen Chen Ajiao hosted the banquet as the hostess of the palace for the first time in six years.
The fourteen-year-old Queen of the Han Dynasty is like a flower in bud, exuding the charm of youth, graceful, decent, and generous.
This reassured the Dou family and made Empress Dowager Bo deeply gratified.
Don't worry, the Dou family, this is easy to understand.
A queen who is closely related to the Dou family and has a blood relationship, as long as her position is stable, can make the Dou family rich and powerful for another thirty years after the Queen Mother Dou.
As for Empress Dowager Bo, she simply did not want to see a tragedy like her happen again in Weiyang Palace.
Liu Che sat quietly on one side and watched everything.
But deep down in his heart, Liu Che was already thinking about rebalancing his relatives' power.
After the Battle of Gaoque, the Yi family's relatives group will climb to...
Liu Che has made preparations to promote Yi Zong to the post of general and governor of the Anbei Protectorate.
At this point, the Yi family's relatives are likely to establish a sufficient foundation in the Han army in the future.
A huge force similar to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's Wei Huo military group in history.
Liu Che was both happy and wary of this.
This is also the instinctive reaction of any emperor.
The emperor would be very fond of generals, especially capable generals.
But a country cannot rely on a certain force or a certain faction to conquer the world.
Diversification and rebalancing are always the key to maintaining national stability and political stability.
Therefore, Liu Che needs further support and the creation of a new military merit interest group.
At present, Bo Shi may be considered an option.
However, Bo Shi's ability and character have some flaws.
In a sense, he is a conservative official who lacks offensiveness and aggressiveness.
In Anton or the court, these flaws will not be discovered and may even become advantages.
But leading troops in battle, especially expeditions to foreign lands.
Lack of aggressiveness is not acceptable!
Another problem is that all royal families cannot avoid the issue of seizing and protecting the heir.
For relatives, making their nephew or cousin a prince is their ultimate pursuit.
Historically, ministers such as Huo Qubing also personally intervened in internal disputes within the royal family!
That was also the only time he intervened in an internal issue within the royal family.
And the effect is outstanding.
Because Huo Qubing took action, all five of Emperor Wu's sons left the capital.
Liu Zheng's status as prince was thus stabilized!
Although, at present, Liu Che does not need to worry and struggle with this.
But if a person has no long-term worries, he will always have immediate worries.
It is always okay for the emperor to always consider the worst case scenario.
In the future, it is still unclear whether Liu Qubing, the eldest son of the emperor, will be able to become a talented person.
Other scholars are not sure who will be the prince who will continue to lead the Han Empire to strength in the future, take over Liu Che's banner, and continue to fulfill the mission given to the Han family by history.
Therefore, Liu Che must consider all situations.
In the unlikely event that Liu Qubing is unable to be trained in the future, but there is a suitable candidate among the other disciples.
Liu Che would not hesitate to abolish the elders and establish younger ones, and then, like his father, he would be as hard-hearted as launching a great purge to stabilize the position of the new king.
For a country, it is always better for one family to cry than to cry together for the whole world.
Liu Che did not want to become Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, a fool like Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, who knew that the prince was useless, but still missed the old relationship and hesitated, ultimately causing irreparable and immeasurable damage to the country.
For a dynasty under a unified system like China, the emperor's power is too great.
Therefore, the losses and blows caused by foolish and mediocre kings to the country have increased exponentially.
To prepare for a rainy day, Liu Che had to consider all possible options.
However, the good news is that China in the future will be big enough to house all the princes, and even big enough to satisfy everyone.
Maybe, something similar to the story of Han Guangwu will happen.
Emperor Guangwu first established the crown prince Liu Jiang. Didn't he show his style and voluntarily give up the crown prince's position to the more outstanding and capable Liu Yang? (After Liu Yang became the crown prince, he changed his name to Liu Zhuang, after Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, and the Liu family has always been
There is a tradition that the crown prince changes his name)
In short, there are many choices for the future.
But now there is only one thing, and that is to continue the Northern Expedition, capture all of Hexi and Mubei, seize the Western Region, and open the road to Central Asia and South Asia.
When he was thinking about these things, Chen Wu, who was waiting for him in Tangyi, came to Liu Che with a wine bottle and bowed respectfully: "I am very lucky today. Fortunately, your Majesty will not give up. The evil son of an old minister can also become a talented person. I sincerely hope that your Majesty will not give up."
Thank God!"
For Chen Wu, Liu Che, the nephew emperor, not only allowed his two sons to be reborn and complete a new life.
It even saved his life.
In the past, Chen Wu was known as Guantao's husband, but he was actually Guantao's slave and fertility machine.
If Empress Dowager Dou hadn't been there, and Emperor Liu was watching closely, Chen Wu felt that the top of his head would have been green by now.
Even so, his dignity as a man and a noble prince of the Han Dynasty had already been trampled to pieces by Guan Tao.
But, what can he do?
In the beginning, in order to marry Guantao, he defeated many powerful enemies, and after being appointed by Emperor Taizong, he succeeded in marrying Taizong and Empress Dowager Dou's only daughter.
As for the daughter who married the Liu family, no matter how bitter and sour it was, she could only endure it by herself.
There is no other reason. In the past, all the men who separated from Princess Liu or Wengzhu (the princess in later generations) died, and their deaths were extremely miserable.
When it comes to the talent of protecting one's shortcomings, the old Liu family is full of talent points.
Don't say it's him, he's just waiting in the same town.
At that time, Chen Ping's son Chen Mai, the son of Qu Nihou, married the daughter of Taizong and Mrs. Shen. As a result, Chen Mai committed suicide within two years of the marriage.
The external saying is: Wait for (buy) depression to become a disease.
But in fact, it was because Chen Mai found out that his wife was raising a pretty boy. He couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide in anger.
Qu Nihou could only endure it, but if he couldn't bear it, he had to die on his own.
What else could he do to Chen Wu?
Moreover, Guantao did not cuckold him after all.
Naturally, one can only pinch one's nose and endure this matter.
But now, Chen Wu is finally free.
Because his two sons have become talented and powerful.
The power they possess is something that even the Taoist would find rare. As a result, his status has also improved a lot. From being a breeding tool in the past, he has finally been promoted to a husband. Although he still has to be ordered around by the Taoist, at least,
It was a dignified shouting and shouting. At least, Guan Tao had to call his name before shouting and shouting.
This is really amazing!
You must know that in the past, except in front of the emperor, the queen mother, and the empress, how had Guantao ever given him dignity and face?
Liu Che helped his uncle up with a smile.
To be honest, Chen Wu, my uncle, was honest, kind, and compassionate. Xiuyiwei not only reported to this Han family prince and the husband of the princess, when he met poor people on the road or saw others in trouble, he would
The story of a helping hand.
Liu Che often felt sorry for him.
If he hadn't married Guantao, his achievements would have been more than just a vase.
But there was no way, who told him to marry a woman named Liu?
You know, Princess Liu, especially the direct princess, is a very famous strong woman throughout history. Even the princesses of Li Tang can't match her!
The best Princess Li Tang could do was to raise a pretty boy and help other princes seize the throne. The strongest Princess Taiping, relying on Wu Zetian's power, could only gather a group of literati to jump up and down.
But the princess of the old Liu family is a terrifying existence with Wen Neng's reputation and Wu Ke's ability to interfere in the country's politics.
Since the eldest princess of Lu Yuan, almost every generation has had eldest princesses who were powerful enough to intervene in government affairs and were active in the court, becoming the tenth minister after the nine ministers.
Even the princes and princes are not easy to bully.
At the end of the history of the Western Han Dynasty, there was only Princess Pingyang, a normal person...
I ask you if you are afraid of such ferocious princesses.
Therefore, if you travel through the Western Han Dynasty, if you don't want to have a green head and be unable to hold your head up at home, never marry a woman from the Liu family.
But then again, the reason why the princesses of the old Liu family were so fierce was probably because of the connivance of the emperor named Liu.
After all, how can your sister, sister, or daughter be bullied by outsiders?
From other people's point of view, Princess Liu has a bad reputation, but for Liu herself, this is the best way to protect her relatives.
In this way, at least no one dares to bully their own family members!
Therefore, Liu Che only sympathized with Chen Wu.
No more.
Now, looking at Chen Wu's appearance, Liu Che also sighed, this uncle finally got over it now.
Liu Che raised his eyes again and looked at Guantao, who looked like a good wife and mother.
Guantao has changed a lot in the past few years.
At least in front of him, the mother-in-law was still very disciplined and did not dare to be arrogant.
After all, what Guantao fears most is to offend Liu Che, his son-in-law, and bring Chen Ajiao down with him.
But in fact, Guantao was completely overthinking.
For Liu Che, he is very satisfied and likes Chen Ajiao as the queen now.
Chen Ajiao's simplicity, innocence and romance are the treasures he protects and cherishes.
After all, as an emperor, he has seen and experienced too much of the dark side of the world.
If he returns to the palace and has to face the constant battles among the concubines and the horrible scenes of jealousy flying around, then his life will become too sad.
"My lord, please excuse me..." Liu Che patted Chen Wu on the shoulder and said, "Cousins Chen Xu and Chen Jiao are where they are today thanks to my uncle's past teachings!"
With that said, Liu Che said to Chen Xu and Chen Jiao: "Why don't you come and thank your uncle and aunt for their upbringing and education?"
When the two brothers heard this, they immediately bowed to Chen Wu and Guan Tao: "Father, mother, the kindness of raising and educating my son will never be forgotten. Please accept the unfilial obedience!"
This moved Chen Wu to tears, and even Guan Tao couldn't help but sigh. He quickly stepped forward, pulled his two sons, and cried in each other's arms.
Liu Che looked at this scene and raised his brows proudly. Regardless of whether they were putting on a show, for the Han family, there is nothing better than a loving father and a filial son, brothers and sisters respectful to each other, a prodigal son turning back, and a father and son embracing each other.
Cry, something more politically correct?
Not to mention, this matter can actually be entirely attributed to Liu Che himself.
Once it is spread, it will immediately become a vivid teaching material and typical cases.
This bowl of chicken soup is enough to make the scholar-bureaucrats and nobles all over the world burst into tears. They lament that the emperor's personality charm is always strong!
But now, the members of the Dou family's relatives who were fed chicken soup were extremely moved when they saw this scene.
They all came out to pay their respects and said: "Your Majesty Fu Wei is able to do great things and bring blessings. I would like to congratulate the world!"
Empress Dowager Dou also said: "The emperor is determined..."
Until this moment, Empress Dowager Dou was finally convinced that leaving this world to Liu Che was definitely the right choice.
He will definitely lead the Han Dynasty to succeed the prosperous age of Wenjing and enter a new and unprecedented prosperous age unprecedented in ancient times.
Liu Che smiled slightly and said respectfully, "This is what a grandson should do!"
For Liu Che, as long as the Eastern Palace does not interfere with his governance, there will no longer be any individual or organization in this world that can compete with his authority.
With great power in his hands, he looked at the entire known world with great ambition.
He knows that history has changed beyond recognition.
In the future, the fragmentation may become even more serious, even enough to make the whole world strange and terrifying.
Is there anything more fulfilling for a time traveler than crushing history and correcting history?
there is none left!
Travelers cannot change history, so how about traveling to the past to make money?
