Start having a baby!I dressed as the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 60 59. How Dare to Pretend to Be a Hero?

"I resign myself to fate!" Wang Yan said coldly, "Your son is neither a son nor a son. No one can take away what you deserve! What you don't deserve, don't think about it!"

After speaking, she hugged Liu Xiaozhu and turned around to leave.Leaving Liang Wang with a distorted expression.

She didn't know how to dispel King Liang's longing for the throne, and persuading him to accept his fate angered him, so she had to walk away.

"Mother, what is resignation?" Liu Xiaozhu asked curiously.

"Accept fate..." Wang Zhi didn't know how to tell this child who was under two years old, "Accept fate, I have to listen to my father and mother..."

"You are obedient!" Little Zhuzhu smiled and hugged his mother's neck tightly, sticking to his mother's face with attachment: "You only want mother and father to be happy!"

"Good boy! What a sweet baby!"

"Hey!" Princess Guantao led her son Chen Yu, "Brother came to play with you!"

"Hello, Aunt Huang!" Liu Zhi called obediently, and he giggled happily when his aunt hugged her in her arms and kissed her.

And Chen Yu, who was one year older than Liu Xiaozhu, wowed a few times indistinctly, and then laughed too.

"Don't go in yet," Princess Guantao said in a low voice, "The queen mother is angry with Wei Qihou..."

It turned out that Liu Qi was grinning after drinking, saying that after Qianqiu lived forever, he would pass the throne to his younger brother, King Liang.Wang Zhi was so angry that he left the table and ran out.Empress Bo and the others were also dumbfounded, and Li Ji was even more furious.

Empress Dowager Dou of "Yin Dao Kiss" is happy, and a naysayer pops up!
Dou Ying offered a glass of wine to Emperor Jing, and said: "The world was ruled by Gaozu, and the throne should be passed on from father to son. This is a system established by the Han Dynasty. Why should your majesty pass it on to King Liang without authorization!"

A few words are like a basin of cold water, waking up the drunk Emperor Jing and chilling the smiling face of Empress Dowager Dou!

"Dou Ying!" Empress Dowager Dou said harshly, "If Ai's family hadn't asked the crown prince to recommend you, the Wu rebellion would have given you the seal of commanding general? Would you have been named Marquis of Wei?" She slapped the table in front of her, "You Let Aijia get out!"

Wang Zhi and Princess Guantao stood in front of the hall, watched Dou Ying salute silently, and turned to leave.

"Leave the palace card!" Empress Dowager Dou shouted angrily again.

This palace card is the privilege she gave her natal nephew to enter and leave the harem at will.She regards her natal nephew as her own, but her natal nephew does not regard her as her own!Really hateful!

In full view of everyone, Dou Ying took off the palace plaque and handed it to the eunuch next to her, and walked past Wang Zhi and the others.

Liang Wang stood not far away in embarrassment, paying attention to his eldest cousin.Dou Ying walked away as soon as she cupped her hands.

This Dou Ying has a mind!

When Wu Wang Liu Bi rebelled, Emperor Wen sent Zhou Yafu, the Marquis of Tiao, to suppress it.However, in view of Zhou Yafu's drama of "the general has an order: the army only obeys the general's order, not the emperor's edict" in the Xiliu camp in Bashang, Emperor Wen was worried about handing over all the command of the army to this "thorny" The hero of the second generation of generals.Can you be able to hold back when your achievements are so high that you overwhelm the master?
Therefore, Empress Dou asked the then prince Liu Qi to recommend Dou Ying to her father.Emperor Wen gave General Dou Ying the seal of command, and he sat firmly in the tent of the army. One supervised the army and urged Zhou Yafu to fight;This is also to use foreign relatives to suppress meritorious officials to achieve balance.

Queen Mother Dou, Queen Mother Dou, your natal nephew, Dou Ying, is a general recommended by Prince Liu Qi to his father.Even though it was your old suggestion, he has to be grateful to Liu Qi, right?

Seeing the embarrassing silence of the people in the first hall, Princess Guantao, the mud expert and atmosphere adjuster, greeted the children with laughter and cheers.

Li Ji hurriedly instigated Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, to dance swords for fun.

Liu Rong held his sword in his hand for a long time, but Empress Dowager Dou was still full of anger.You just dance out a big trumpet flower, what can the old lady see when she is blind?
"Qin Xiaogong, according to the solidity of the Wei letter, owns the land of Yongzhou, and the monarchs and ministers stick to it to see the Zhou Dynasty. He has the intention of sweeping the world, encompassing the universe, encompassing the four seas, and swallowing the heart of the eight wildernesses. When it is time, Shangjun Zuozhi, Internally legislating, doing farming and weaving, repairing the tools of war; externally connecting and balancing to fight the princes. So the Qin people handed over and took away from Xihe."

Suddenly, a clear and crisp voice read Jia Yi's "On the Passing of Qin" in a childlike voice!
"Duke Xiao is gone, Huiwen, Wu, Zhaoxiang and Meng have their old careers. Due to the legacy policy, Hanzhong was taken from the south, Ba and Shu were lifted from the west, the rich land was cut in the east, and the key counties were harvested in the north. The princes were afraid and allied to seek the weak. Qin does not love precious and fertile lands, so that the people of the world will unite and establish diplomatic relations, and become one with each other..."

"Hey!" Empress Dowager Dou smiled when she heard Little Zhuzhu's recitation, "Come to the imperial grandmother!"

Seeing Queen Mother Dou happy, the atmosphere immediately relaxed.Princess Guantao carried Liu Xiaozhu to Empress Dowager Dou, and Empress Dowager Dou hugged her grandson and sat on her lap.

"Hey, who taught you to memorize the books?" Queen Mother Dou couldn't help asking.

"My mother recited it that day, and I remembered it when I heard it."

Little Pig's words stunned everyone!This little guy has a strong memory!
"Is that true?!" Emperor Jing looked at Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi bowed his head and remained silent.Although she knew that her little piggy was very talented, she didn't want such a small milk doll to attract everyone's attention.She has always been low-key and introverted, and she feels that too much attention is a burden and may cause trouble.

"Of course it's true!" Wang Hao replied crisply, "Zi'er already knows a lot of characters, has a photographic memory, can't hold the bamboo slips, and often asks his sister to help him!"

"Could it be that fourteen months in the mother's womb is better than others' four years?" Princess Guantao sighed, went to Empress Dowager Dou's lap to hug Liu Xiaozhu, the corners of her mouth were filled with uncontrollable joy.

Seeing that Emperor Jing wanted to join in the fun and show off his piglet, Wang Zhi hurriedly went to Liu Xun's arms to take Liu Zhi away, and handed it to Xue'er to take him out to find a wet nurse.

The favor of the emperor and the queen mother made the neglected princes and concubines look at Liu Xiaozhu with unconcealed resentment.Liang Wang's eyes were even more confused.

That night, Emperor Jing went to Yilan Hall, Wang Zhi's bedroom.Looking at Liu Xiaozhu who was sleeping soundly, he lovingly stroked the little fat arms and legs of the little pig that looked like lotus root joints.

"Your mind is different from ordinary people, is it really the hero bestowed on me by the gods?"

"Your Majesty, please don't say such words!" Wang Yan hurriedly knelt down, "Your son is not the eldest son, and is the youngest of the princes, how dare you pretend to be the hero?!"

"The first emperor has already ordered..." Emperor Jing said solemnly, "Do you remember, concubine Ai, that on the day when the first emperor passed away, he proclaimed your majesty? He looked at your belly and said the word "Xiongzhu"..."

"The first emperor is to praise His Majesty to be the hero! You are young, just learning the tongue, how can you be different from ordinary people?" Wang Zhi argued.

Liu Qi looked at Wang Yan suspiciously, "Doesn't the concubine miss you..."

Wang Zhi interrupted Emperor Jing: "Little Huangkou, you are favored by His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and my concubine will thank Your Majesty on your behalf!"

Liu Qi sighed and left silently.Wang Zhi got up from the ground.

Sitting on the side of the bed, looking at Liu Xiaozhu lovingly, Wang Zhi said softly, "Little Zhuzhu, mother's treasure! It's not that mother doesn't want you to be the crown prince. Before the time comes, it will only give you too many risks... Mother will plan for you..."

Emperor Xiaowen Liu Heng ascended the throne as a vassal king, and he and Hui Emperor Liu Ying were both the sons of the great ancestor Liu Bang.If according to Queen Mother Dou's "Yin Dao kisses each other", if King Liang succeeds to the throne, the Han Empire will be in chaos.Do you dare to open this hole again?
Originally, the princes and kings were not convinced by Liu Heng's succession to the throne. From Liu Xingju, King of Jibei, to Liu Chang, King of Huainan, to Liu Bi, King of Wu, they all felt that they could try for the throne.Emperor Jing Liu Qi succeeds to the throne, and there will be another brother and brother. The gourd that was finally pressed down will float up again, so Liu Qi's cousins ​​will have to take turns?By the way, who is not surnamed Liu?With so many brothers big and small from the Liu family, who is not convinced, and rolls up their sleeves to join the gang, can the Han Dynasty stand up to the toss?
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for King Liang to succeed to the throne!Liu Qi would not agree, the Manchu civil and military would not agree, and the underground Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Xiaowen would not agree either!Unless... there is another war!
But Empress Dowager Dou strongly suppressed the new emperor Liu Qi, King Liang was eyeing him, and the eldest son Liu Rong took the lead, so there must be a contest between the two.As a young Liu Xiaozhu, if he is established as the crown prince, it will cause entanglement due to emotion and reason, and become the target of public criticism.Only to avoid the edge first, and then seek a new army to emerge.

"Ma'am, the medicine has been delivered to Madam Xiao Wang." Xue'er came in to reply.

"Well, good. Have you told Sheng'er? That pill can only be taken one at a time. Besides, she must prepare the soup for the master. Only wait for the Empress Dowager's filial piety period to pass."

"Ma'am, the imperial concubines are all fighting for favor. Why did Madam push the emperor to Mrs. Xiao Wang? She even gave her carefully prepared medicine. Madam is so kind to my sister!" Xue'er asked.

Compete for favor?Wang Zhi smiled.Her whole heart was on Three Phoenixes and One Dragon, and she would no longer have any thoughts about Liu Qi.Go to October to conceive and have a baby?With that energy, it's better to train Liu Xiaozhu well.

Helping Wang Hao's favor is to use Sailor Moon, the defeated concubines and the eldest son of the emperor to get her little piggy to the throne and clear the way.

"Xue'er, you followed Ben Gong at the age of 13, and you have turned 20. Ben Gong can't waste your youth, and you don't want to leave such a caring sister..." Wang Zhi took Xue'er's hand, "What should I do?"

Seeing Wang Zhi's sincere smile, Xue'er said movedly, "Madam, Xue'er is willing to serve you and the princess and prince forever..."

"How can I do that!" Wang Zhi said, his eyes blurred and disappointed, "I have already done wrong to Zhen'er... I can't treat you badly anymore. I want to find you a good family and marry you off in a good way! But... If you leave, there will be no one in this palace to rely on..."

"If you wait until you are released from the palace at the age of 25, will there be family members to join you when you go back?" Wang Zhi asked again.

"The maidservant's parents have died, and there is only one younger brother, who has not yet married..." Xue'er said, a little shy, "The maidservant has a cousin who works in the capital..."

Seeing Xiao Nizi's shy face, Wang Yan laughed and joked, "Where is the job? Maybe I can see him anytime?"

Xue'er blushed and shook her head: "It's about the same as General Zhi, and is His Majesty's regular attendant on martial arts..."

"What's your name? I'll have a nice word with His Majesty."

"His name is Ning Cheng..."

"Ning Cheng? I've heard of this name before!" Wang Zhi thought for a while, "Among His Majesty's guards, one is called Ning Cheng, and the other is called Sima Xiangru. Both of them are tall and handsome, and are deeply loved by His Majesty. So Yes……"

Wang Zhi nodded: "I will not treat those who follow loyally badly. Xue'er, you have chosen a good husband, and I will give him a good future!"

Xue Er plopped down on her knees: "Madam Xie! Cousin Ning Cheng is about to resign and return to his hometown. Madam please help him!"

"Why is that?" Wang Zhi asked.

This starts with the Langguan system of the Han Dynasty.

During the period of Emperor Wen, it was stipulated that ten can be counted as a man.Money is family property.It is a tax.The so-called reckoning is the family property tax.According to the statistics of family assets every year, if you have a family property of 120 Wen, you need to pay [-] Wen.

If you count ten or more, you can be a man, that is, if you have a family property of [-] or more, and you pay more taxes to the country every year, then you can be an official.

This requires the middle class to be above the upper class. Even according to this standard, the officials selected from the middle class and above tax-paying honorable households were not enough for a time, and the children who were really capable often had no chance to get ahead because their families were poor.So later, Emperor Jing lowered the requirements, saying that as long as the family assets were [-] yuan, it was enough.

The "Lang" in the Han Dynasty was a relatively special official position in the Han Dynasty. Its rank was not high. "Lang" is also the most basic step to become a senior official.

So in the Han Dynasty, if you want to be a high official, you have to be a Lang official first.Langguan has gradually become a talent pool to provide candidates for officials. It can be said that "Lang" officials are equivalent to the ranks of civil servants who have just been admitted to the civil service, and the gradual promotion in the future will start from here.Emperor Wen's favorite minister Deng Tong and famous minister Zhang Shizhi all followed this path.

When you become a Langguan with your own strength and intelligence, congratulations, you will have the opportunity to approach the emperor, be favored by the emperor, and be selected as a senior bureaucrat in the central government, and you will be promoted from then on.

But this Langguan has his own job.That is, you prepare horses, clothing and other props yourself, without salary.Eat your own food, wear your own clothes, follow the emperor, serve the emperor, in exchange for the emperor's appreciation, promote you, reuse you, and become a general.

Horses in this period were rare and expensive.The daily transaction price of horses is between eight thousand and ten thousand yuan.Moreover, naked horses cannot be ridden. "You can buy fine horses in the east market, saddles in the west market, bridles in the south market, and long whips in the north market." This set of neat pommel horses may cost as much as tens of thousands of dollars.

A set of outfits costs a lot of money, and middle-class families can barely accept it.But if you have been in the position of Lang Guan for a long time, can't you update your props and equipment?Therefore, there are quite a few people who resigned and returned to their hometowns because of being unaffordable for their families.

"Cousin Ning Cheng has been a regular servant of Wuqi for five years, and he changed his horse once..." Xue'er said in a low voice.

"I understand," Wang Zhi helped Xue'er up, "If your cousin Ning Cheng seeks an official position, he doesn't have to resign and return to his hometown."

Xue'er nodded and smiled shyly, Wang Yan patted her hand gently, "Don't worry! Xue'er is reluctant to let her cousin return home, thousands of miles away, I will fulfill Xue'er's wish..."

"Madam! Madam Wang!" hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

Sheng'er, Wang Hao's maid, rushed into the door with a pale complexion. She yelled tremblingly, "Madam, take a quick look! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he vomited blood!"

Wang Zhi was startled: "What?! Your Majesty vomited blood?!"
