In the palace of Changqiu, Zhang Yugang feeds the little prince Liu Feng, who is just a little short of the full moon, and then gives him to the nurse, and then comes to Liu He.

Liu he grabbed her jade hand and put it on his shoulder.

"I feel a little tired these days."

While kneading Liu He's shoulder, Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Your Majesty has gone to Elia Jieyu's palace for three days in a row. Jieyu is young, beautiful and hot-blooded. It's no wonder that she makes your majesty ache all over."

Listen to the queen this obviously with a sense of humor, Liu He's cheek also some red up.

"Yu'er, you are my old husband and wife, and you still make fun of me."

But Zhang Yu was serious: "I'm not joking. Although his majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, now there are only four princes under his knees: ZHENG'ER, de'er, Tai'er and feng'er. It is a fluke that ZHENG'ER survived this time. If his life is lost, the Royal incense will be damaged. Before her mother's death, she was very concerned about it. After all, my concubine was old. Doctor Hua said that Fenger might be my concubine's last birth. Now Jieyu's younger sister is in the palace, and she should give birth to many dragon sons and dragon daughters for her majesty. "

Liu he frowned and rubbed his temple.

"Only these four have given me a headache. I'm afraid I'll work hard for them if I have more."

"Your Majesty, is it for the sake of the recent turmoil in the imperial court?"

Liu he sighed: "in addition, what else can I worry about?"

He looked back at his wife, who had been with him for more than 16 years, and rubbed her hands, which were no longer delicate.

"Yu'er, at the moment, there are only you and me, husband and wife. I don't ask you about your prince as a monarch, but I ask you about your children as a husband. You have always been intelligent, and you are not in the court. The onlookers see clearly. You answer me truthfully. In your opinion, who is the most suitable to be the crown prince? "

Zhang Yu seemed to have expected that he would ask this question. She didn't look surprised.

She sat beside Liu He and looked her husband in the eyes.

"Since my husband asked such a question, I dare not speak up."

Liu He sat up straight and raised his ears.

Zhang Yu cleared her throat and said, "in my opinion, it is not convenient for your majesty to establish a reserve within ten years."

"Well?" Liu he was surprised: "don't you want ZHENG'ER to be the crown prince?"

Zhang Yu laughed: "as a mother, I hope my eldest son can inherit the family business. But as the mother of the family, the empress of the Han Dynasty, I can't allow my concubine to think so. Now, no matter who he is, Li Chu will bring disaster to the Great Han Dynasty, and leave a gap between the monarch and the minister, father and son in the future. "

Liu he thought deeply: "talk about it carefully."

Zhang Yu said, "Your Majesty is only four in thirty now. She is in good health. And the world is becoming more and more peaceful. It is not difficult for your majesty to live another 20 or 30 years, seeing that the whole world is close at hand. "

Liu He nodded, for this point, he never had the slightest doubt. It's not unusual to live to be 60 or 70 years old with your own body in this era.

"Here it is." Zhang Yu went on.

"The so-called Prince is a minister in front of his majesty, but he is a monarch in front of his courtiers. Chujun Chujun, which means vice Jun, also leads part of his Majesty's authority and assists the government. In this way, if the monarch is dazzled, old and frail, it will be the fortune of the country for the crown prince to take charge of the important utensils of the ancestral temple. "

"But your majesty is in the prime of his life. He is in the prime of his life. He is able to take charge of the imperial program and create an unprecedented golden age. At such a time, is it not to paint a snake and add feet to it? Not only can it not assist the state affairs, but it is easy to breed chaos in the central court. What's more, due to the collision of authority, the relationship between his majesty and the crown prince becomes increasingly discordant. "

"Besides, no matter who is appointed as the crown prince, once he is in charge of the East Palace, he must take the title of emperor as the goal of all words and deeds. Your majesty is the Prime Minister of longevity. In a few years, or even more than ten years, there is no danger that the dragon will return to heaven. For more than ten or even twenty years, it is difficult to see the hope of ascending the throne. How can he not be in a hurry in the long run? Seeing that the supreme power in the world is close at hand, but it is difficult to grasp it, it is hard to avoid madness. "

"In this way, the establishment of the crown prince at this moment is harmful to his Majesty's authority, harmful to the court, and also not a blessing to the prince who has been established as the crown prince. Because of these three evils, I think I can't set up a reserve right now. "

After hearing these words, Liu He's eyes were shining and his face looked relaxed.

"Yu'er really has a lot of words. It's a pity that those ministers are not as knowledgeable as you. "

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "I have been married to your majesty for half my life. Do you know what your majesty thinks? In fact, your majesty had a long-standing plan about the issue of the imperial concubine. He was only disturbed by the courtiers and worried that his concubine would be troubled by the rumors about ZHENG'ER. This is the only way to test his concubine's attitude. After my concubine finished, your Majesty was obviously relieved. Although she passed away in a flash, how could she hide it from me? "

"This..." Liu he was a little embarrassed and then burst into laughter."In the world, only yu'er knows my heart best. To tell you the truth, since my father-in-law came to me a few days ago to ask for a job and insisted on bringing a few carts of fruit tree seeds and seedlings to open up wasteland and plant trees in the area of Yumen pass, I feel a little sad. "

Zhang Yu also knows about it. A few days ago, Zhang Tong and his wife, who had been in Luoyang for many years, suddenly went to ask Liu He for a job. Liu he doesn't agree. After all, they are old. Liu he naturally wants them to have a good life in Luoyang.

But in the end, Liu he couldn't hold them up, so he exchanged the Handbook for them and asked them to follow the army to Yumenguan and Yangguan to cultivate fruit trees.

Liu He and Zhang Yu both know very well that this old couple is not "working all their life and can't have leisure", but because Liu Zheng, a close grandson, was criticized by Wang Yun and others, as well as many private scholars and great Confucians after he returned to the palace. They are anxious to do their part to keep their grandson's throne It's just strength.

Zhang Yu combed Liu He's sideburns: "father and mother, they don't understand state affairs, they all rely on the heart of protecting the calf. Now they go to Yumen pass, far away from Kyoto, and also far away from the right and wrong in the court hall. Although Yumen pass is a desolate and cold place, it is not a bad thing for the two elders. Your majesty does not have to worry about them. "

"In fact, I have been prepared for a long time, but I can catch all those who have different intentions. It's just that the worry will hurt the heart of the father-in-law and the queen, so it's delayed. I've been in the army for half my life. I've never hesitated. But now that my third brother died in the war and my mother left me, I'm really afraid Afraid to lose a little more affection After all, I am a human being... "

Zhang Yurou said in a soft voice: "it's a great blessing for me to marry your Majesty in this life. I have nothing to ask for in my life but to do my best to support your Majesty's actions behind him. As for ZHENG'ER, he is sincere and full of thoughts about the country and the people. At least for the moment, there is no idea of fighting for power. I don't expect that I can enlighten him from time to time. When your majesty is ready, let it go. "

Liu He took her hand and his eyes became very firm.

At this time, Gong saner's voice came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Dean Lu of the Imperial Academy is asking for a meeting outside the palace."

Liu He's eyes are awe inspiring: "here we are at last..."

He suddenly got up, his whole body up and down, no longer see a little bit just that tender appearance, become very dignified.

"Xuanlu Zhi meets in the imperial study. They summoned Zhong Yao, the captain of the Imperial Palace, and he was in full favor
