A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 160: Family love in the palace, easy to store

"Bang!" The Emperor of Han kept smashing pottery in the palace. The pottery fragments were almost all over the floor until there was nothing more at hand to smash. He kicked several tables in front of him and then stopped.

Queen Lu Pheasant came over after hearing the inquiry. Seeing this situation, she asked across the debris on the ground: "Why is Your Majesty so angry?"

Emperor Han said loudly: "What else is there? It's not Bai Guo's business. How come I, Liu Bang, can't get into his eyes like Bai Qing? I can come when I want and leave when I want. Is Chang'an his court song?" He is simply arrogant, lawless, and extremely arrogant. I can't stand it anymore. I will send troops soon to destroy that old boy!"

Lu Pheasant asked the palace maids and eunuchs to sweep away all the debris on the ground. Under the skillful and fast cleaning of the palace maids and eunuchs, no debris was left at all, and not even a scrap was visible.

Seeing the presence of outsiders, Emperor Han snorted coldly and turned away.

After the debris was cleaned up, Lu Pheasant slowly came to Han Emperor's side, helped up the overturned tables, and said, "I thought it was something, but it turned out to be this! Do you need to be so angry?"

Emperor Han snorted coldly and said nothing. Seeing this, Lu Pheasant smiled and said: "You know how to be angry, but Bai Qing is not angry in his heart? Even if Bai Qing is not angry in his heart, neither are his old ministers and generals?
You took away King Bai's title without spending a single soldier. You also got hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals, and brought them to the four counties of Taiyuan, Shangdang, Yanmen, and Handan. You got such a big advantage. , don’t you want to make people a little bit tempered? "

When Emperor Han thought that it was true, he had taken advantage of it, and his anger subsided a little, and he said: "Even so, I have given them enough face and benefits, but what about the Bai family? Since he is not serving as an official, why stop him?" Those talents under him came out?

You don’t know, every time I see the wise ministers, capable officials, and elite soldiers and generals under his command, I can’t stop drooling. But as for him, he doesn’t give any of them to me. How can this be unreasonable? I am the emperor, the emperor of the world. , the world belongs to me, and those talents of his are not mine? "

Lu Pheasant said with a smile: "Okay, why are you still the same as before? Governing the world now is not as casual as governing a small town before. As long as you do well, talented generals will naturally come to join you. Besides, the Bai family Why aren't you given talents?

Didn’t Marquis Jianwen do things for you? There are people who are Xiu Wuhou. They have also saved your life many times in Taiyuan and Daijun. You can't forget their good deeds at all! When the grudge in their hearts is gone, they will naturally come out for the sake of the common people in the world. "

The Han Emperor still said stubbornly: "Save me? That's because they couldn't see the Huns killing people wantonly. Otherwise, why didn't they come out to help me when I wiped out King Yan, King Zhao, and the Dongyuan rebels?"

Lu Pheasant said: "Don't worry about what they are doing. It is a fact to save you. Besides, they have no rebellious intentions. Saving the people in the border areas is not saving your people?"

Emperor Han felt much more comfortable, so he didn't chat for a long time. Then the two of them chatted about other things. At this time, a palace maid came in and said: "Your Majesty, Madam Qi wants to see you!"

The Han Emperor looked at Lu Pheasant with some embarrassment, and Lu Pheasant didn't say much. He just smiled and said, "I'll take my leave now."

Emperor Han nodded, and Lu Pheasant turned around and left. The moment he turned around, his expression turned cold and unusual. When he passed the door, he saw Madam Qi's provocative eyes and actions. Lu Pheasant just glanced at it, and then regarded it as He didn't see it, so he walked towards the harem on his own.

When he came to his bedroom, he saw his fourteen-year-old son Liu Ying reading a book. A gentle expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he came to Liu Ying with a smile.

Liu Ying noticed someone, looked up, immediately stood up and saluted with a smile: "Queen Mother!"

Lu Zhi smiled and said, "What is Ying'er looking at?"

Liu Ying hurried forward, helped Lu Pheasant sit down, then turned around and picked up the bamboo slip, then handed it to Lu Pheasant and said happily: "My child is reading "Spring and Autumn"."

Lu Pheasant asked doubtfully: "Spring and Autumn"?

Liu Ying said with a smile: "Yes, Bai Jun, the prince of Bai Gong, came to see me yesterday and gave me a set of "Bai's Spring and Autumn". Look, the things about the Zhou Dynasty written in it are really interesting and absurd. I spent the whole night thinking about what the Zhou Dynasty was like during the time of Duke Zhou? What was the ancient Bai Kingdom like? Is everyone polite, respectful to brothers and sisters, kind to father and filial to son? Stay away from war and live a prosperous and comfortable life!"

Lu Pheasant briefly read the words on the bamboo slips. Most of them taught people to be polite and polite, to be kind, and to pay attention to the world, not just in one corner.

Knowing that this book was good for Liu Ying, Lu Zhi smiled and said, "Can Ying'er understand it?"

Liu Ying said with some distress: "Some understand it, but some children don't understand it very well."

Lu Pheasant said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. After a while, the Queen Mother will find some great Confucians and sages who specialize in "Bai's Spring and Autumn" for you to teach you well. Then you will no longer be confused."

Liu Ying was very happy and said: "Thank you very much, Queen Mother!"

Lu Pheasant asked Liu Ying to come to him, caressed his back and said, "Why are you free to come to the queen mother's palace today? Why don't you read in your own palace?"

Liu Ying said: "I know that since my sister married Marquis Xuanping, my mother has been bored in the palace alone. She reads books everywhere anyway. Reading here can also keep my mother company."

Looking at such a sensible son, Lu Pheasant felt that everything he had done was worth it. Even the bad mood affected by Emperor Han and Mrs. Qi had disappeared. He handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Liu Ying and treated him very gently. Said: "Go, go and read a book!"

Liu Ying took the bamboo slips and was about to read a book at the desk that Lu Pheasant had prepared for him all year round. Suddenly she thought of the book she read yesterday: "Be polite to your relatives in order to show respect." He quickly turned around and came to Lu Pheasant. In front of Lu Pheasant, he followed the description in the book and gave Lu Pheasant a nondescript salute. Then he ran to his small desk and kept reading the story.

When Lu Zhi saw Liu Ying's nondescript salute, he was immediately amused. Then he went to the loom nearby and prepared to make another set of clothes for Liu Ying, because Liu Ying grew up so fast that the clothes on her body were all gone. It's not appropriate anymore. I also heard that Lu Yuan was about to give birth, and he wanted to make a set for the child.

As soon as the sound of "Squeak!" sounded, Lu Pheasant stopped quickly, looked at Liu Ying, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not disturbed. This time, his movements were gentler and quieter.

In this way, the mother and son, one weaving cloth on the left and the other reading a book on the right, put aside the magnificent environment and furnishings around them, and a warm scene appeared on the paper, but one of the male protagonists was missing.

July 23
The Han Emperor held a banquet for the ministers in Changle Palace. Because he was constantly being flirted with by Madam Qi, and because the Han Emperor believed that the prince Liu Ying was weak and not as heroic as himself, how could he suppress these Huaipei veterans in the future? .

On the contrary, King Zhao Liu Ruyi looked at him so coolly that the Han Emperor wanted to establish a new crown prince, but he could not directly issue an order to establish a new crown prince. In order to see how powerful Liu Ying was behind him, the Han Emperor deliberately held this banquet.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the Han Emperor took advantage of his drunkenness and said to the ministers: "Everyone, as the lord of the world, you should have the courage to encompass the whole world and swallow up all the wastelands. However, the prince Liu Ying has a weak temperament. None of them are like me, but King Zhao is Ruyi, has a bold temperament, and looks like me. Come to think of it, if the world is left in his hands, there shouldn't be any big problems! What do you think, sir?"

The venue was deserted for a while, and only the sound of bells and drums could be heard.

But all of a sudden, the ministers became angry and came out to oppose one after another. Among them, Zhou Chang, the censor, was the strongest. When the Han emperor asked the reason, Zhou Chang stuttered and became angry, so he said:

"I can't say anything casually, but I always know that I can't do it! Your Majesty wants to depose the prince, but I always refuse to obey the imperial edict."

Upon seeing this, Emperor Han knew that the matter could not be discussed any more today, so he laughed and said, "I'm drunk! I'm drunk!" After saying that, he collapsed on the throne.

But no one thought that in the east chamber, there was someone who had been listening to these conversations. It was Lu Pheasant. Her face was gloomy, her hands were holding on to the pillar next to her, almost penetrating the wooden pillar, and a trace of blood flowed from her hand. Next, he kept saying harshly: "Liu Ji! Okay! You are so cruel!"

The confidant maid next to her saw the blood on Lu Pheasant's hand and exclaimed in a low voice: "Mistress! Your hand!"

Lu Pheasant was noncommittal, and the palace maid said anxiously: "The heroine should cover it up! Otherwise, His Highness will feel distressed when he sees it!"

Hearing the palace maid mention Liu Ying, Lu Pheasant finally woke up from his anger and stretched out his hand to signal them to bandage. Upon seeing this, the palace maid quickly took out a piece of white cloth, first slowly pulled off the sawdust on her hand, and then wiped off the excess blood with the cloth. , and finally simply wrapped it with white cloth to stop the bleeding. This is just a preliminary treatment. You will have to go back and ask the imperial doctor for treatment later.

When the banquet was over, Lu Pheasant secretly invited Zhou Chang aside, knelt down to him and thanked him, saying, "If you hadn't argued hard, the crown prince would have been deposed."

Zhou Chang quickly motioned to Lu Fei to get up, saying that he did not dare. He bluntly said that he was speaking from his heart and that the crown prince's position was very stable, so he told her not to worry. Lu Pheasant felt a little relieved.

Second day

The Han emperor still harbored the intention of changing the throne, but he was also worried that Liu Ruyi would be young and the power behind Lu Fei was huge. He was afraid that Liu Ruyi's life would be in danger after his death. So he ordered Zhou Chang, who was respected by Empress Lu and all the ministers, to be appointed as the prime minister of Zhao State to assist Liu Ruyi.

After Lu Pheasant heard about this appointment, he was very angry. Knowing that Emperor Han had not yet given up his intention to save Yi Chu, he broke into Emperor Han's palace and ran into Emperor Han and Mrs. Qi fooling around. Lu Pheasant pretended not to see him and said bluntly: " Ying'er needs a teacher, please arrange one for him!"

Emperor Han hid in the quilt in embarrassment and said, "Who do you think is better?"

Lu Pheasant said: "I think Shu Sun Tong is good."

Emperor Han said directly: "Okay, I will let Shu Sun Tong be Ying'er's master."

Lu Pheasant bowed and retreated. The Han Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. Madam Qi next to him didn't take it seriously. She used charm methods to make the Han Emperor greedy for more. She kept promising that as soon as the time was right, he would change Liu's name to Liu Zhi. Ruyi is the prince.

July 26
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty ordered that the Confucian leader Ji Sijun Shusun Tong be transferred to Prince Liu Ying's Taifu.

Shusun Tong was an old minister who had always followed the Han Emperor. As a great Confucian scholar, he recommended many generals and civil servants to the Han Emperor. He contributed a lot in the process of the Han Emperor's conquest of the world and was named Ji Sijun.

After the Han emperor proclaimed himself emperor, with the support of the Han court, Shusun Tong became the leader of Confucian scholars in the world. However, this was all without Bai's silence, because Shusun Tong did not write "Bai's Spring and Autumn" but "Gu". Liang Chunqiu".

But Shusun Tong is only the superficial leader of the world, because today, fifty-six out of ten great Confucian scholars are in the Bai Kingdom, either in Chaoge or in the Taihang Mountains. They all regard Bai Shi's Spring and Autumn Annals as their family biography. .

Confucianism is now almost divided into four, including Bai Shi Chun Qiu, Gong Yang Chun Qiu, Zuo Shi Chun Qiu, and Gu Liang Chun Qiu. Among them, Bai Shi and Gong Yang Shi are the two leading schools of Confucianism, and Bai Shi because of With the strong support of the Bai Kingdom, it almost suppressed the other three schools of thought, and the Gongyang School was the leader of the other two schools.
