Dahan first prince

Chapter 62 The vicissitudes of life, the ancient kingdom of Zheng

"Prime Minister Bing Hou Chen He, Shao Fu Chen Cheng Yan, see the queen, see the family."

Just after noon, Xiao He and Yang Chengyan came to Xuanshi Hall of Weiyang Palace to pay respects to Lu Zhi, Liu Ying, mother and son.

Taking advantage of the time when the two bowed and saluted, they saw outside the main hall, more than a dozen Kongwu powerful imperial guards poured in one by one, carried wooden boxes into the hall one by one, and retreated quietly.

Seeing this, Liu Ying couldn't help but sighed a little, and immediately supported her mother Lu Zhi with a warm smile, and sat down on the upper soft couch.

In the morning, I bid farewell to the emperor's father, who was personally recruited by the royal driver. After Liu Ying returned to the palace, she discussed with her mother Lu Zhi for a long time in the back hall of the Xuanshi Palace.

After roughly agreeing on a solution to the water conservancy renovation, Lu Zhi repeated the previous sentence: My son will be gone, mother has nothing to worry about.

But even so, Liu Ying still dragged Lv Zhi here to participate in this political discussion at the top level of the power pyramid of the Han Dynasty.

It's not that Liu Ying is too careful, but that with her old lady Lu Zhi by her side, Liu Ying always feels more confident in her heart somehow.

Furthermore, although the old lady put on a posture of 'I like to make troubles and make troubles, as long as I have a future', after nearly ten years of getting along day and night in the previous life, Liu Ying still has a certain understanding of my old lady Lu Zhi.

——The major affairs of the court may not be decided by Lu's pheasant, but Lu's pheasant must not be unaware of it!
This point is not only effective on Liu Ying, the underage prince of Jian Guo, but also effective on Liu Bang, who is over sixty years old and has half of his neck buried in the earth!

Since Liu Bang switched from the position of "Surabaya Pavilion Chief" to become a bandit, he was full of calculations, and there were only three things in total, all of which were done without Lu Zhi's knowledge.

The first thing is that before the incident, Liu Bang, the number one gangster in Pei County, ran to the next village and gave birth to an illegitimate child with the widow Cao.

This illegitimate son is the eldest son of the emperor Liu Bang, who is now the king of Qi: Liu Fei.

But don't think that Lu Fei has a good temper just because Liu Fei is now included in the Liu family tree and has a title!
——After Qi Wang Liu Fei was born, he was by his biological mother's side until he was nearly ten years old, but he was never able to enter Liu's Mansion in Peixian County!
What is going on here?

Liu Bang, the emperor Gao, who is famous in history, doesn't even want to recognize his own son?

wrong!
It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare! ! !

Liu Bang, the old rascal who had embraced Lu's noble daughter in his counterattack, did not dare to tell Lu Zhi that he had a son outside!

After Liu Bang's uprising, Liu Fei's biological mother Cao died of illness. Liu Fei, who was less than ten years old, was begging along the street and happened to be bumped into by Lu Pheasant. He became the "bastard son" of the third house of the Liu family in Pei County.

Even so, Lu Zhi's care for his concubine Liu Fei did not stop there.

Liu Ying still clearly remembers until now: in her previous life, her father Liu Bang passed away, and her brothers and uncles from Guandong went to Chang'an for the funeral. Based on the principle of orderly seniority, Liu Ying invited Liu Fei to the Weiyang Palace alone for a banquet.

Unexpectedly, after only a short drink, Liu Fei, the king of Qi, was almost sent on the road by a glass of poisoned wine by the then queen mother Lu Zhi because of "disrespect in front of the king"!
Qi Wang Liu Fei is only the first one.

The second, needless to say.

——In the Battle of Pengcheng between Chu and Han, Liu Bang abandoned his wife and son and fled.

And when Lu Zhi returned to Luoyang, the eastern capital, full of hope, and found Ailang Liu Bang, there were two figures beside Liu Bang, one big and one small, a man and a woman.

The pair of mother and son were, in Liu Ying's memory, Mrs. Qi, Zhao Wang and Liu Ruyi's mother and son who followed Liu Bang just a few months after his father Liu Bang passed away.

The third one is getting closer to the present moment.

——Two months ago, the Supreme Emperor passed away, and Liu Bang suddenly launched an attack at the funeral, threatening to be easy to reserve!

The dignified founding emperor wanted to abolish the crown prince, but it turned out that Lu Zhi sent a letter to Linzi, the capital of Qi. The prime minister of Qi, Fu Kuan, led thousands of soldiers and horses to "cross-country" for a few months, and Liu Bang gave up.

From these three things, it is not difficult to see how appallingly Empress Lu Zhi attached importance to power, especially the right to know, after Henkel.

In fact, in Liu Ying's previous life, there was also an incident that caused serious consequences because Lu Zhi didn't know about it in advance.

——As the queen mother, Lu Zhi arranged for Zhang Yan, the daughter of Zhang Ao, Marquis of Xuanping, and Liu Le, Princess of Lu Yuan, to be Liu Ying's queen, but Liu Ying politely refused...
"If there hadn't been that incident, the previous life wouldn't have caused such trouble..."

Sighing secretly, Liu Ying was half relieved to see Queen Lu Zhi, and sat on the head pretending to be angry.

The look of refusal and welcome is very similar to the old mother in later generations, when her children brought valuables, she cursed "wasting money" on her lips, but she was thinking about whether to wear this dress to go out and show off to the neighbor's aunt.

Seeing Lu Zhi's appearance, Liu Ying smiled slightly, then came back to her senses, and knelt down beside Lu Zhi without any awkwardness.

"When the father was about to leave, he only talked about 'renovating the water conservancy in Guanzhong', and where the water conservancy was located and where the canal was, but he didn't elaborate."

Opening up the topic with a calm expression, Liu Ying's complexion also became a little serious.

"I also invite Xiao Xiang and Shaofu to give a brief account of the water conservancy and ditches in Guanzhong to Guzhi."

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Xiao He couldn't help turning his head slightly, and gestured to Yang Chengyan who was beside him, and Yang Chengyan's short and sturdy figure came to the center of the Xuanshi Hall.

"Please move home."

With a slight bow to Liu Ying, Yang Chengyan took out a lump of leather Kanyu that was folded in half continuously from the wooden box on the side of the hall.

After Liu Ying stepped forward, she lowered her head and looked at the giant Kanyu, which was nearly four feet long and three feet wide.

"At home."

Seeing Yang Chengyan spread Kanyu on the ground, he got up and cupped his hands again, then picked up a wooden pole about four or five feet long from the side of Kanyu, and gestured left and right on top of Kanyu.

"In Guanzhong today, there are only a few rural private canals that are less than ten feet wide and less than four feet deep, which can be called 'water conservancy'."

"Repairs can make the grain abundant, but if it doesn't, the grain production will drop sharply, and there is only one place."

As he said that, the long stick in Yang Chengyan's hand started from the vertical line with the word "Jingshui" written on Kanyu, and moved to the right along an obviously thicker and more conspicuous double solid line until the word "Jingshui" was written. The vertical lines with the word "Luoshui" stop.

Seeing this, Liu Yingzong had expected it, and couldn't help but step forward a little bit, and saw three palm-sized Qin seal characters written on the double solid line connecting Jingshui and Luoshui.

And Liu Ying's thoughts also fell into the memory of the past with a faint murmur.

"Zheng..."

"Zheng Guoqu?"
