I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 215 Small money, really sweet!
After negotiating good conditions with Tian Ziqi, and getting most of the power he wanted, or 'permission', Liu Sheng of course first told his mother, Mrs. Jia, and brother Liu Pengzu about this.

Regarding this matter, Mrs. Jia was worried and told Liu Sheng again and again: Be careful in your words and deeds, and don't make any mistakes.

After Liu Sheng obediently responded, he found his only elder brother: Jia Gui, who should be the mother's support for Liu Sheng.

——In terms of this incident alone, what Liu Sheng lacks is manpower.

However, Mrs. Jia's natal family is not a big clan with a thriving male population. Liu Shengzi also readily accepts his mother's kindness.

Early the next morning, Liu Sheng took his elder brother Liu Pengzu to the "Old Emperor" of Changle Palace, Empress Dou.

Empress Dowager Dou was also very happy to learn that her precious grandson was going to do business, and put on a posture of responding to requests without any scruples.

——The reward of one thousand gold for making a move, plus the promise of "Dou's relatives will be dispatched at will", made Liu Sheng feel a little embarrassed.

In the end, Liu Sheng "reluctantly" accepted the one thousand gold reward from his grandmother.

As for the relatives of the Dou family, Liu Sheng did not forget the emperor's father's entrustment, he only said very wittily: the Empress Dowager Dou will be the master, and it is enough to choose five able ones from the current generation of Dou's nephews.

After announcing the itinerary to his grandmother, and having a brief exchange with his cousin Dou Pengzu, and agreeing to meet at the Tai Palace north of Weiyang Palace in the afternoon of the same day, Liu Sheng left Changle Palace.

Then I went to the Yushi doctor, Xiangfu, Shaofu and other subordinate yamen respectively, and said hello to the speakers of these yamen in advance, and the time has come to noon.

And Liu Sheng's figure finally appeared in the Crown Prince's Palace north of Weiyang Palace.

——Once upon a time, the uterus belonged to Tianziqi...

·
"Whoo~"

"I'm exhausted..."

Dragging his exhausted body, he walked into the living room on the west side of the Crown Prince's womb, and sat down on the soft couch at the top;
When I raised my head, I found that the Tai's uterus had been swept up and down and was spotless.

But for this 'abnormal' situation, Liu Sheng didn't show too much surprise.

——Because this situation is not abnormal.

Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, the word Taiwo should be closely linked with "Prince";
Every prince should have his own womb and supporting team.

But in fact, the Han family's training, or preparation for the crown prince, was put on the charter at the moment when the previous prince became the emperor.

Take today’s Emperor Qi, who sits in the Weiyang Palace and orders the world, as an example: more than four years ago, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen passed away in the summer and June of the 27th year;
That is to say, the day after the first emperor's death, the emperor Qi, who succeeded the throne, moved out of the palace with the whole prince team.

The former prince turned into the emperor, and once belonged to Prince Qi's team, he was also a chicken and dog who ascended to heaven.

Prince Zhan Shichao Cuo became the internal history of the head of the Nine Ministers;

Prince Zhongdunwei Zhouren, became the Lang Zhongling of Suwei Jinzhong;

Prince Xi (xiǎn) Ma Zhangou became the court captain in charge of law and punishment;

Liu She, a doctor of the prince's family, became the servant of the emperor's royal chariot and became in charge of the world's horse affairs.

Of course, there is also Chuntuo, the former chief eunuch of Taigong Palace, who became the chief eunuch of Weiyang Palace: eunuch order.

It is also by virtue of such a vigorous means - on the day of his succession, he quickly allowed the confidantes of the prince's hidden mansion to occupy four positions among the nine ministers, so that the emperor Qi was able to complete the handover of power so smoothly;

After quickly taking control of the court, he immediately started to promote Chao Cuo's "Strategy to Cut Fans" without worrying about his own status being unstable.

Of course, such a swift and resolute operation was carried out smoothly on the basis of the late emperor and the crown prince who had been in charge of the country for several years.

Well, the problem is coming.

——Since the team of the Taiwo was brought into the palace by Emperor Qi who succeeded the throne, does that mean that the Taiwo left by Emperor Qi has become an empty shell?
After Tian Ziqi moved out of the Taiwo and moved into Weiyang Palace, shouldn't the Taiwo be locked up and dusted for a period of time?

the answer is negative.

At the same time that 'Prince Qi' inherited the throne and moved into Weiyang Palace with a whole set of prince team, preparations for the new prince team had already begun.

For example, a few years ago, Dou Ying, who was appointed as the "Prince Zhan Shi" even though there was no prince, was the person who spoke to the prince at that time.

Some time ago, because the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong, was crowned king, all the officials of the Crown Prince who were dismissed by the Shaofu were also parts of the normal operation of the Crown Prince.

In other words: the uterus of the Crown Prince of the Han family will always exist and operate normally, no matter whether there is a crown prince or not.

——If there is a prince, then he will be dispatched by the prince;

——If there is no prince, then be ready at all times for the future prince to dispatch.

But the current Taiwo is in a very delicate stage.

The person who spoke in the past: Prince Zhan Shi (family order) Dou Ying, who has been appointed as the prince's tutor, no longer interferes with the affairs of the prince's womb, only waiting to teach the future prince;
The former crown prince officials were all dismissed by the emperor Qi because of the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong;
The new team of subordinate officials has not had time to reorganize.

Therefore, when Liu Sheng came to the uterus and sat down in the first place in the side hall, there were actually only a dozen or so palace maids responsible for sweeping the entire uterus.

As for the maid?

cough cough
——As early as when he made it clear that Liu Sheng was going to be registered as the crown prince, Tianzi Qi had implicitly warned Liu Sheng: If you are not at the right age, don't get close to women!

As for the standard of "suitable age", Liu Sheng is not sure.

It is only calculated according to the age of the emperor Qi himself when he gave birth to the eldest son Liu Rong. Liu Sheng, who is only 13 years old now and will soon be 14 years old, may have to wait another year or two.

Cough cough cough cough...
Closer to home.

Now that he has come to the crown prince, even if he has not officially become the crown prince, Liu Sheng has taken care of the crown prince that will surely belong to him.

After looking at the living room in the side hall that he was in, he already had a plan in his heart.

"There are so many incense burners and screens, the girls are chirping;"

"—Wait for the residents to come in, and all of them will evacuate!"

"What kind of censer do you use for a vigorous husband?"

"The spices burned in the emotional furnace don't cost our family's money?"

Just a few minutes after entering the Tai's uterus, Liu Sheng was so careless and started to complain about his father.

——There is no need for Liu Sheng to ask: as far as Liu Sheng can see at the moment, the dozens of large and small incense burners displayed in the side hall must be the burners that Emperor Qi used to burn money!

"Prodigal stuff..."

There was another mutter, but Xia Que, who had just walked into the hall, paused;
After Liu Sheng raised his head with displeasure, he hurriedly and cautiously stepped forward.

"host······"

"male······"

"—Young Master Huan is."

Seeing Xia Que's constipated expression, Liu Sheng didn't struggle too much, and relieved Xia Que with a soft word.

After Xia Que lowered her head as if she had received an amnesty, and called out 'Young Master', Liu Sheng nodded slightly.

"It's all done?"

As soon as Liu Sheng finished speaking, Xia Que hurriedly bowed again.

"It's done..."

"Except for this side hall, slaves have issued a ban on the other palaces of the Crown Prince: no one is allowed to enter or leave except the palace servants who clean up;"

"The main entrance of Tai's womb was also bolted from the inside, and only one side door was opened."

"My lord's distinguished guests are all waiting outside the side door at this moment..."

The slightly feminine, yet inexplicably reassuring and gentle tone also made Liu Sheng's frown unconsciously relaxed;
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, he straightened up from the upper seat, and while arranging his clothes, he continued: "Where you can move the womb, try not to move it."

"The palace man in charge of sanitation, you don't have to talk too much, just perform your duties."

"I will meet the guests myself, and you will make tea ready;"

"And take the one thousand pieces of gold that the Queen Mother bestowed..."

"Uh, take five hundred gold out of it and put it here."

As he said that, Liu Sheng pointed to the center of the side hall, and glanced at Xia Que again.

After Xia Que nodded, Liu Sheng walked out of the side hall with his head held high, and walked towards the side palace gate.

While walking, I still kept muttering: "No matter how rich you are, you should know how to save some money..."

"Five hundred gold~"

"Tsk tsk..."

·
After a while, all of Liu Sheng's 'guests' were ushered into the side hall.

Afterwards, everyone sat down on the east and west sides of the side hall in a very interesting seating order.

——After Liu Sheng and Nanpi Hou Dou Pengzu gave way to the first seat, it was finally vacated;
Afterwards, the uncle and nephew took their seats on the east and west sides respectively.

As for other people, the seats are also very interesting.

The five nephews sent by Dou's relatives all sat in the east seat in order of age, next to Nanpi Hou Dou Pengzu;

As for the teacher, since Liu Sheng took the seat, the order is occupied by Liu Pengzu, the seventh son of the emperor, and Jia Gui, the only representative of Jia's relatives.

Zhidu, the representative of Tianziqi, still stood with that paralyzed face indifferently on the side of the head of the throne;

Liu Sheng's personal eunuch, Xia Que, quietly walked outside the palace gate, watched the palace people serve tea, and stood there like an old pine tree by the palace gate.

After taking their seats, Liu Sheng first looked at his cousin Dou Pengzu who was seated opposite him.

"This time, when I was in Changle Palace in the morning, I have already reported it to the emperor's grandmother;"

"At that time, my cousin was also at the side?"

Hearing Liu Sheng's words, Dou Pengzu nodded with a smile, then turned slightly and raised his hands to the relatives beside him.

"Your Majesty has ordered you to preside over the matter of stabilizing grain prices in Guanzhong for this and next two years. The Empress Dowager has already told me."

"These five are men selected from the clan by Wei Qihou and I. Although they are not capable, they can still be dispatched by the young master to do some rough work in front of the chariot and behind the horse..."

Following Dou Pengzu's gentle and calm tone, Liu Sheng also looked at the five Dou's men with a full of approachable smile.

As expected by Liu Sheng: all five of them were middle-aged people in their early thirties, with the word 'steady' all over their bodies.

As for Dou Pengzu's politeness, Liu Shengzi didn't take it seriously.

——The clan of the Empress Dowager sent five of the most capable middle-aged men to each hold five official positions ranging from six hundred shi to a thousand shi.
If Liu Sheng really followed what Dou Pengzu said and used these five people as strong men, Liu Sheng would not be able to pass the test of Empress Dowager Dou alone.

Knowing this in his heart, Liu Sheng was not too ambiguous, and after a little politeness with these five cousins, he directly distributed the five official positions granted by the emperor to five people.

"Since my cousin has already explained to the five of you, I, a junior, won't go into details."

"This time, it is difficult to say, and it needs to deal with many princes and relatives;"

"If it is simple, there are not many things that need to be done."

"——I just hope that everyone can look at the face of the emperor's grandmother and help the younger generation."

"After all, this time, the matter of stabilizing grain prices in Guanzhong is not only related to the livelihood of millions of farmers in Guanzhong..."

A vague reminder, combined with Liu Sheng's slightly humble face, attracted the five cousins ​​on the opposite side to look solemn, and immediately stood up together, bowing their hands to Liu Sheng solemnly!

"Young Master, we understand!"

"When we came, the Empress Dowager had already taught us: No matter what the young master says, we will just do it!"

"If we can't do it, then even if the son is kind, the queen mother will definitely punish us."

"So, son, you can rest assured."

Seeing the posture of the five cousins, and then looking at his uncle Dou Pengzu on the opposite side, who also had a solemn look on his face, Liu Sheng immediately understood.

——Queen Dowager Dou, I'm afraid she has already told these six people: This time, the matter of stabilizing grain prices in Guanzhong will directly affect whether Liu Sheng can be successfully established as a reserve!
In addition, Empress Dowager Dou also gave these six people a deadly order such as 'be sure to do this well and help my grandson to be the crown prince'.

Realizing this, Liu Sheng couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, but with a flattered look on his face, he hurriedly got up, and bowed heavily to the five cousins ​​in front of him!

Although they didn't express any thanks or promises, just this one bow was enough to make five people feel at ease.

——This obeisance is the promise of Liu Sheng, who is about to become the crown prince, to the five cousins ​​in front of him, and even the entire Dou family...
After bowing again, Liu Sheng and the five cousins ​​on the opposite side sat back to their seats with smiles on their faces.

Afterwards, Liu Sheng looked at his cousin Dou Pengzu on the opposite side, and his expression became serious again.

"For this matter, my cousin is in command of Su Duwei, and the five uncles and uncles are all dispatched by my cousin."

"——During this period of time in the future, there will be many princes, noble relatives, and merchants from Guanzhong coming to the palace of the crown prince."

"At that time, my cousin will accompany me to meet the princes and noble relatives, and it will be regarded as sweeping the battle for me."

"And the five uncles and uncles need to work harder—when necessary, meet the merchants who come to the door for me."

"After all, the current status of my nephew makes it inconvenient to meet with merchants..."

Hearing Liu Sheng's words, Dou Pengzu couldn't help showing a little solemnity on his smiling face.

After thinking for a moment, he turned his head with a serious face and looked at the five relatives beside him.

"Young master, do you remember everything?"

"All merchants who come to the door are not allowed to step into the door of the Crown Prince's womb."

"You have discussed it yourself, and each of you will lead the merchants who come to your door to negotiate with your own house."

The deep and forceful words attracted the five people to nod their heads in unison, with a confident face of 'no problem'.

Seeing that the five people responded, Dou Pengzu looked at Liu Sheng again and nodded slowly.

Seeing Liu Sheng smiled lightly and arched his hands, bowed to Dou Pengzu for a while, then turned sideways and looked at his brother Liu Pengzu and mother uncle Jia Gui who were beside him.

"As for the elder brother and uncle, they are responsible for counting and accepting the money brought by the relatives of meritorious lords and merchants in Guanzhong in the uterus, and recording the accounts."

"This account is for the purpose of passing on to the emperor and the officials of the court;"

"The money collected will also go into the Shaofu."

"There must be no mistakes."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Pengzu and Jia Gui hurriedly got up, bowed their hands to Liu Sheng solemnly.

Afterwards, under the courtesy of Liu Sheng, they each sat back in their seats.

Up to this moment, Liu Sheng has not said: how to stabilize food prices this time;
But Liu Sheng obviously didn't intend to reveal his plan to these people.

"This matter is related to the stability of the ancestral temple and the country, and it is the first state matter that my father ordered me to handle!"

"Excuse me, junior, I can't tell all the details to the elders just yet."

"But the emperor and the emperor's grandmother already know all the details about this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."

The words of neither humble nor overbearing only caused everyone to nod their heads, and cast doubtful eyes on Liu Sheng, who was full of confidence.

Liu Sheng smiled lightly and lowered his head, pointing to the [-] gold cakes neatly stacked in the center of the hall, but ignored by everyone until now.

"I heard that if you want to ask others to help you, you should show enough sincerity so that those who are willing to help you will not have to worry about it."

"These five hundred gold should be regarded as the meager kindness of the younger generation, and the elders can use it for themselves,"

The casual words finally made everyone raise their heads with a chuckle, and they no longer had to deliberately look away from the pile of golden golden cakes.

There was a moment of reserved silence, and finally among the people present, the eldest Nanpi Hou Dou Pengzu smiled and looked at the Dou clan relatives beside him, and waved his hands at the pile of gold cakes.

"I have already inherited the title of Marquis Nanpi, and if I take the son's reward and spread the word, it will make people laugh."

"If you are embarrassed to take it, then it will be regarded as accepting the kindness of the young master for me, right?"

As soon as Dou Pengzu said this, the five men from the Dou family finally lost their worries;

He laughed and stepped forward, each picked up dozens of gold cakes, and then sat back in their seats.

Seeing that there were still a lot of gold cakes left, Liu Sheng turned sideways again, and looked at his side with a little guilt, his uncle Jia Gui who was sitting at the bottom seat across from his elder brother Liu Pengzu.

"This time, I feel a little guilty for not being able to get an official position for my uncle;"

"Uncle will accept the rest of the gold."

Unexpectedly, when Jia Gui heard the words, he shook his head with a shy smile and bowed to Liu Sheng.

"My lord, it's really too far-fetched."

"Anyway, the son's mother is also the elder sister of the minister and his mother."

"If you serve the son, you have to reach out to ask the son for an official position and gold. If it spreads out, I'm afraid it will ruin the reputation of the ancestors."

"My lord, please forgive me for not obeying..."

Seeing his uncle's refusal, Liu Sheng subconsciously turned his eyes to the other five cousins ​​of Dou's family;
After seeing these people, they all turned their appreciative gazes to their mother-in-law Jia Gui, and Liu Sheng finally nodded with a gentle face.

"Since my uncle said so, my nephew will not force me."

"Then what, Xiaque;"

"Take all the rest of the gold."

"Cough cough cough..."

With a slightly stiff face, he gave an order, and then watched Xia Que lead a few palace servants to take away the remaining 300 gold cakes, and Liu Sheng coughed twice again;

After a while, he raised his head with a normal smile and looked at his cousin Dou Pengzu on the opposite side.

"Then next, my nephew will tell the elders what to do..."

　The two updates are finished, um...
