On how to make the big cat sleep obediently [Time Travel]

According to the Jizhou system, men usually bow at the age of 20, but the emperor often bows earlier in order to take charge of state affairs as soon as possible.

Therefore, when many Jizhou emperors were established as princes, they also held crown ceremonies at the same time, indicating that the heirs of the emperor had grown up and could study state affairs.

Similarly, if it is a vassal king who wants to guard the border when he is young, he will also be crowned in advance, such as Prince Yu, King Shuojun and other royal families.

The crowning ceremony of the prince will be held in the ancestral temple, and the ceremony will usually be completed in the spring of each year.

First, the Qintian Supervisor will ask the sky to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac. However, within ten days before the initial date, the person who receives the crown will also divination for good and bad luck. If you choose Daji, it will be announced to the world.

And three days before the crowning ceremony, it is necessary to use the divination method to select the guest who will preside over the crowning ceremony, and choose a person who "praises the crown" to assist in the crowning ceremony.

When saluting, His Majesty, the distinguished guests and the crown prince all wear court clothes, while among the folks, the grandfather or father of the crown recipient, as the host, will wear formal dresses with the distinguished guests and crown recipients. This is the most solemn and serious time in the life of Jizhou men.

Liu Xin wants to register the crown prince. Prince Yu, who originally wanted to return to the fief immediately after the treason case, can only stay in Beijing, and can only leave after the side sealing ceremony.

The day of Qin Tianjian's selection is the fifth day of the lunar new year, and Xiaonian's birthday is the ninth day of the new year. If Liu Yu can't get home in time, Liu Yu will miss Xiaonian's 20th birthday.

Although the date of the crowning ceremony can be postponed, it is a pity... Every time I think of this, Prince Yu has no good face to show the people in the palace.

However, the emperor of Jizhou was naturally at odds with him, and he missed Prince Yu when he didn't see him for a day, and even took him to greet the sick Empress Dowager Xu.

In Liu Yu's impression, their queen mother has always been graceful and elegant in daily life.

Although the Xu family was not as deep-rooted as the Jiang family in the early years, and Empress Xu was not very favored, but when Liu Yu was born, because of the appearance of Concubine Gao Shu, the affectionate and gentle Emperor Jing felt guilty for the women in the harem, so he treated them more. There is material compensation.

According to the ancestral etiquette, every time he wanted to give a reward to his beloved woman, he could not surpass the empress, so whatever treasure Concubine Gao Shu got, the empress should at least get a share of equal value.

Liu Xin's succession to the throne was followed by the government, and he was not as extravagant as the first emperor and reduced many regulations in the harem, but he did not dare to touch the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace. As a result, the current Ci'an Palace is compared with the emperor's Taiji Palace. Even better.

During the more than 20 years in Beijing, Liu Yu has stepped into the Ci'an Palace countless times, and he is already used to the luxury here.

But looking at it again today, he immediately found that all the palace people in the palace had been replaced, and all of them had become people from the Tai Chi Palace or simply unfamiliar faces.

Many people came and went around the queen mother. In the past ten years or so, two female officials have been favored, one surnamed Wu and the other surnamed Yang.

Because they are valued by the queen mother, the two are a bit more noble than the ordinary daughters of middle-level officials.In the early years, Empress Dowager Xu even intentionally pointed them out to Prince Yu as concubine, but Liu Yu coldly rejected them.

Greeting Empress Dowager Xu this time, Prince Yu only saw Lady Yang, who looked shivering and no longer had the same aura as before.

Liu Yu was not surprised by this at all—the Empress Dowager Xu had lost her power, how could the people around her be decent.

He also heard that because of laziness and carelessness, the female official surnamed Wu made the Empress Dowager ill, and was ordered by His Majesty to be punished with a cane. After dozens of sticks, she died before the execution was over.

Those palace servants who were truly loyal had obviously been removed by the Emperor Jizhou with excuses, and those who were still alive did not have to be expected to sacrifice their lives to accompany the Queen Mother Xu.

Because of the presence of Prince Yu, Concubine Ru, who was serving the Empress Dowager in Ci'an Palace, avoided first, leaving only the two brothers Liu Xin and Liu Yu, and the Empress Dowager lying on the bed.

Since they were not their own mothers, the two adult royal family also greeted the Queen Mother through the screen, but they did not receive any response.

Liu Yu was plagued by nightmares for many years before You Xiaonian. The so-called "prolonged illness becomes a doctor", and he is very familiar with drugs such as calming the mind and calming the mind.

He could easily tell how many "old friends" were in the smell in the air, but he didn't know whether the medicine was for the Queen Mother to sleep well or not to wake up.

"The queen mother's illness has not improved for a long time. I am very worried. I have ordered the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital to stay in the palace in turn."

Liu Xin said to Prince Yu: "Although the crimes of the Xu family are extremely heinous, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, and Concubine Ru is her only family member. Now staying in Ci'an Palace to take care of the Queen Mother is the most suitable candidate."

Liu Yu knew very well why the Empress Dowager Xu could not "end her life" at this moment.

——Their Emperor Jizhou still needs to use the existence of this aunt to show his generosity and benevolence... When to hold a national funeral depends on Liu Xin's mood, and also depends on what value he wants to gain from Empress Dowager Xu.

As for whether Liu Xin had any intention of letting Queen Mother Xu live and suffer, that is beyond the guesswork of others.

For Queen Mother Xu, Liu Yu naturally hated her, but he used to ignore her, and now and in the future, he will not pay half his attention to her.

So how Liu Xin dealt with the people in Ci'an Palace and the Empress Dowager was their own business, and Liu Yu didn't ask or interfere.

"You always say that you want to return to the fiefdom, return to the fiefdom, I can't hold you back, so naturally I want to let you go, but now according to the canonization ceremony, there are not many days left, since you are in Tianjing, you should get along with Quan'er more... He is your only nephew, and you don't have any children of your own yet, uncle and nephew should be the closest, and I will have to entrust him to you in the future, so I can rest assured."

Liu Yu didn't look at Liu Xin, but he also knew that there must be a sincere and moving expression on the other's face at this moment.

It's a pity that Liu Quan is not his only nephew, he already has his own child with Xiaonian, and he has no interest in the drama of deep affection for uncle and nephew.

However, Prince Yu's lack of interest on this side does not mean that the other side is also not interested... Liu Yu soon discovered that he should be entangled by the eldest son of the emperor.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Liu Quan was born extremely well.

If it weren't for the lack of spirit and stature due to years of chronic illness, I am afraid that he is still superior to his father in terms of appearance.

Prince Yu's criteria for judging beauty actually did not exist in the early years.

Anyway, from his point of view, apart from himself, the close subordinates like Jiang Zhi and Zheng Rong, as well as other irrelevant people, whether they can stay with Prince Yu to do things, beauty or ugliness is not within the scope of consideration.

After Xiaonian appeared, Prince Yu finally had a criterion for judging beauty—as long as a little doctor with a temperament a little like him, then he would definitely not be ugly...

However, Prince Yu always felt that his little doctor was still too thin, and it would be better if he could grow as round as a little boy.

Seeing the thin and frail Liu Quan, Prince Yu's mind is full of whether his little doctor is eating and sleeping well, and he can't wait for Jiang Zhi to send a recent portrait of Xiaonian to Beijing, let him take a good look at it, and relieve his thoughts Feelings.

However, the eldest son of the emperor couldn't understand his uncle's eagerness to return: "The emperor's Liyang is near the sea, so I don't know what the sea looks like... I have never left Tianjing, I hope I can see the sea with my own eyes sometime."

The other party mentioned his fief and looked at him expectantly. Liu Yu could only put down the teacup and said: "The world is so big, and human life is limited. There are always places that can be seen and cannot be seen. Your Highness As the eldest son of His Majesty, I have my own responsibilities."

——So don’t worry about going to Liyang to see the sea... Sorry, no reception.

He completely forgot how he and Xiaonian took the little boy to play around in the north of the King Kuijun, and he also forgot how he and Xiaonian had already planned how to let the future heirs of Prince Yu's mansion go out and see more , experience a few times, so as not to be a frog in the bottom of the well.

Although as the crown prince, he would not and dare not really go to Liyang, but Liu Quan originally thought that when he said this, the emperor's uncle would take him to Liyang in the future. Who knew that not only did Prince Yu not respond, but On the contrary, it has the intention of telling him not to leave Tianjing.

I will be established as a prince soon, and I will start to learn how to deal with state affairs. When I inherit the throne and become emperor in the future, all the world will be his... including the fiefdoms of the kings.

Whether it is Shuoyuan, Huai'an, or Linchun, they should all be owned by the emperor, and they are only temporarily handed over to the vassal king. The emperor can take them back at any time.

But only Liyang is different, because Liyang is Liu Yu's fiefdom.

Father said that Prince Yu's Liyang army is the biggest threat to Tianjing, if not removed now, once Prince Yu has the intention of treason, he will not be as easy to deal with as Liu Xuan.

It's just that the treason case has just been concluded, and although the sixteen guards have returned to the hands of the father, it is not enough. To completely solve the problem of Prince Yu, a long-term plan is needed.

——Father has spent so many years, but he still can't surrender Prince Yu's military power, let alone Li Yang... It seems that only he will bear this burden in the future.

Since it's not the time to turn your back, it's best to get closer and let the other party relax their vigilance.

Compared with Emperor Jizhou, Liu Quan, as a nephew and still a young man, should be easier to get close to Prince Yu, but the whole process of "getting close" didn't seem to be as smooth as he imagined at first.

Because the father said that Prince Yu had a deep mind and was wary of people who seemed calm, so Liu Quan wanted to be naive and frank in front of Prince Yu.

He didn't talk about political history, he didn't mention the case of treason, he just mentioned the customs of the northern border and the sea in a curious tone of a young man, using these ordinary things to find some topics to talk to his uncle.

But what Liu Quan didn't know was that in Liu Yu's heart, the true innocence should be like a cub. Adults cut the carrots they don't like into the shape of a bunny, and after coaxing them, they can eat them in one bite.

The real frankness should be that when the scuffle fights for the seat closest to Xiaonian's pillow every night, the little brat shows his stupid belly and rolls around, and occasionally wants Xiaonian to hug him, but is cut off by his uncle Liu Yu Sometimes they bared their teeth and grinned arrogantly.

Even if the cubs are noisy all day long and always rob him, but they were raised and taught by him and Xiaonian, and they are Xiaonian's darling.

In Liu Yu's heart, the courteous and well-described eldest son of the emperor in front of him is not as good as them.

Regardless of whether he is Liu Xin's son or not, Prince Yu doesn't have the time to take care of him.

He wanted to accompany Xiaonian to take care of the two cubs, and he had already used up all his remaining patience.

They were so attentive and indifferent for quite a while, and the relationship between the uncle and nephew did not heat up quickly within half a month.

While Liu Quan felt frustrated, he also believed that Liu Yu was indeed a hard-to-please enemy, so he became more vigilant.

After finally waiting for the crowning ceremony of the eldest son of the emperor, His Majesty also appointed the crown prince, and Prince Yu almost immediately set off for Liyang.

At this time, Jian's residence is also preparing for Xiaonian's coronation ceremony.

To them, it doesn't matter who the prince is, their family's coming-of-age ceremony is the most important thing.
