Dahan first prince

Chapter 40

"Father, did you really say that?"

A moment later, in Weiyang Palace, Phoenix Hall.

Listening to Zhao Yao's 'report' full of surprise, Liu Ying couldn't help but tense up a little.

Seeing that behind Zhao Yao, the main hall was almost full of maids and eunuchs, Liu Ying's complexion became darker.

After a long silence, Liu Ying finally regained her composure and bowed her hands to Zhao Yao in front of her.

"I also ask Dr. Zhao to report to my father: my son, please obey my father's edict..."

Seeing Liu Ying looking at him with a gloomy face earlier, Zhao Yao was a little flustered in his heart. Now, seeing Liu Ying finally bowed his head and obeyed orders, Zhao Yao couldn't help but bowed his hands as if he had been pardoned.

"Here..."

"This matter is over, I will leave..."

After saying that, Zhao Yao bowed again and left the Phoenix Hall as if fleeing.

Seeing Zhao Yao's leaving back, Liu Ying couldn't help but smiled wryly and let out a long sigh, then shook her head slightly.

"At home..."

Seeing Lu Shizhi approaching with worry on his face, Liu Ying couldn't help raising her hand to signal Lu Shizhi to wait a moment.

"Chuntuo."

With a soft call, Chun Tuo, the chief eunuch of the Crown Prince's womb, was called to her side, and Liu Ying pointed bitterly at the palace maids and eunuchs that filled the entire main hall.

"Take it down and place it properly..."

Hearing this, the little eunuch Chuntuo raised his head slightly, and looked at Liu Ying suspiciously.

After Liu Ying shook her head helplessly, Chun Tuo finally bowed to accept the order, and led the maids and eunuchs out of the main hall.

When the hall became empty again, Lu Shizhi finally couldn't help but stepped forward, looking at Liu Ying full of worry.

"At home."

"From this point of view, your majesty's desire to store up may not disappear?"

Hearing this, Liu Ying subconsciously nodded slightly, then shook her head again.

"Unless it is absolutely necessary, the thought of father and emperor changing the crown will never be completely eliminated."

"Only now, Chen Xi will be in chaos in Dai and Zhao, and the heir mother is in charge of the stability of the Qi country. Only then can the father and emperor temporarily put Yi Chu aside, and use all his strength to quell the chaos of Chen Xi."

As she said that, Liu Ying smiled bitterly again, and pouted in the direction where the maids and eunuchs left just now.

"This is because the emperor was annoyed by the queen mother, but he didn't dare to vent his anger on the queen mother, so he vented his anger on me."

"Ah~"

"An indiscriminate disaster~"

With a melancholy self-deprecating smile, Liu Ying turned around and sat down at the table next to the hall.

When Lu Shizhi also sat beside her, Liu Ying calmed down a little, and her eyes became a little serious.

"Recently, there have been rumors in the court about Chen Xi's actions?"

Hearing this, Lu Shizhi only thought about it for a while, and then said: "A while ago, Your Majesty rushed to the Dai Dynasty six hundred miles away, and summoned Chen Xi to the funeral of the Supreme Emperor."

"The spies from Changle Palace later reported that Chen Xi seemed to be refusing to return to Chang'an on the grounds of illness."

As he said that, Lu Shizhi couldn't help pondering for a while, and said firmly: "I think that Chen Xi's chaos has appeared!"

"Don't move at this time, it should be after the autumn harvest, when the food and grass are plentiful, and then do rebellious things."

Hearing that Lu Shizhi mentioned "Spy of Changle Palace", Liu Ying couldn't help raising her eyebrows subconsciously.

After a while, he finally nodded slightly.

"Yes."

"The Prime Minister and the Shaofu have raised the army rations for the battle, and it should be almost the same."

"We're all waiting~"

Taking a deep breath, Liu Ying turned her head sideways with regret on her face: "After the autumn harvest is over, Kanto, I'm afraid there will be another war, and the people will be in dire straits..."

Hearing this, Lu Shizhi also let out a sad sigh, and shook his head to himself.

"Since the rise of the Han Dynasty, the chaos in the Kanto region has never stopped."

"Only if there are no princes with different surnames, the common people in the Guandong, Li Shu, can have a peaceful year..."

The uncle and nephew sighed for a while, and finally it was Lu Shizhi who spoke, shifting the topic to the present moment in front of them.

"At home, Your Majesty ordered that the uncle Sun Tong move to the Crown Prince Taifu. Now, the Uncle Sun Taifu is already in the Crown Prince's uterus?"

"Do you want to pay a visit at home?"

As he said that, Lu Shizhi was afraid that Liu Ying didn't understand, and pointed out: "Those four are still in the minister's house..."

Seeing Lu Shizhi staring at her with deep meaning, Liu Ying's complexion froze for a while, and she couldn't help but smiled wryly again and again.

"Ugh······"

"Father is really..."

Shaking her head with a wry smile, Liu Ying turned sideways and bowed slightly to Lu Shizhi.

"In the past few days, Hou Jiancheng, please put more effort into entertaining the four elders in the house."

"The autumn harvest is approaching, and the emperor wants to drive in person to conquer, so the day when the army goes out is not far away."

"When the father and emperor leave Beijing, I will visit the door alone to pay a visit to the four elders."

Hearing this, Lu Shizhi also hastily cupped his hands: "Speaking is serious at home, it is serious..."

"This is something that all ministers should do, but there is nothing to worry about at home..."

Thinking of this, Liu Ying couldn't help but feel depressed.

On one side is the prince who was forced by his father and needs to be treated respectfully by Liu Ying;

On the other side, there are four celebrities in the world who are in their eighties and nineties and have come to Chang'an not far away to secure their positions for themselves.

If there is no conflict between the two sides, it's fine.

However, Shangshan Sihao disdains Uncle Suntong's "flattery and expensiveness", and Shu Suntong is dissatisfied with the four old men, thinking that they "do not know what is good" and are "stylized and pedantic".

Sandwiched between these two groups of people, Liu Ying is really the second senior brother looking in the mirror, looking like a piece of steamed bun.

But after thinking about it, Liu Ying felt clear for a while, and was not too worried about the future.

——Liu Ying at this time is not the prince who was full of benevolence, righteousness and kindness in the past, who opened his mouth and shut his mouth and said Confucius!
Whether it is Shusun Tong who is about to become a teacher, or Shangshan Sihao who has "great kindness" to him, in Liu Ying's heart, that is the case.

If it weren't for the social ethos of "respecting teachers" and "respecting elders", Liu Ying wished she could not even make such a humble gesture.

As for the Confucian set of father and son, monarch and minister, Liu Ying is completely indifferent.

"If you can get along well with each other, I will give birth to you until Liu Bang dies..."

"If you're fooling around..."

"Hey!"

Thinking about it, Liu Ying couldn't help but smile coldly.

Lifting his head, he saw Lu Shizhi still fidgeting, hesitant to speak beside him.

"After completion, is there anything else important?"

Hearing Liu Ying's question, Lu Shizhi hesitated in every possible way, finally gritted his teeth, lifted his buttocks from the seat, tilted himself on the side, and put his mouth next to Liu Ying's ear.

"Your Majesty is in the Crown Prince's uterus, so grandiosely placed eyes and ears, and living in the Crown Prince's womb at home, I'm afraid it will be very inconvenient..."

"Wouldn't it be better to temporarily move to Xuanshi at home for a 'short stay' for ten months?"

Hearing Lu Shizhi's words, Liu Ying hesitated for a while, but finally shook her head with a smile.

"No."

Seeing the anxious look on Lu Shizhi's face, Liu Ying couldn't help stretching out her hand, comforting Lu Shizhi and sitting back in her seat.

"One, the lonely year is fourteen."

"At this age, if you are a peasant, you should be at the age of marriage."

"Since that's the case, it's not appropriate to live in the proclamation room alone with the mother's queen."

As she said that, Liu Ying looked at Lu Shizhi with some deep meaning in her eyes.

"As for the second..."

"Ah······"

"Marquis Jiancheng thought that the emperor had placed his eyes and ears in the Tai's womb, so why did he do so in such a grand manner, without any concealment?"

After saying that, Liu Ying gave a wry smile, and immediately looked at Lu Shizhi thoughtfully, she stood up, straightened her hat, and bowed to Lu Shizhi.

"In the future, we should walk on thin ice in order to avoid open and dark arrows inside and outside the palace."

"For things outside the palace, I will entrust my uncle to run on my behalf..."

　There is a small problem in the next chapter. I have revised it several times, but it is still a bit awkward. I will correct it and post it tomorrow morning.

　　I haven't been in good health for the past few days, and my mind is a little confused. Please forgive me.
