Ying Zheng really couldn't stand Mrs. Dou's nonsense. Although he couldn't do anything to Liu Che, he still remembered it clearly in his heart. Mr. Dou mentioned it with a smile, which undoubtedly angered Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng remained calm, without a smile on his face, and said, "Okay mother, the Empress Dowager still wants to see you inside."

Dou Taizhu believed it was true, and said: "Then mother will go in first, you should pay attention to your body."

She said, took two steps, and suddenly turned around and said: "I almost forgot, you should go and talk to the Queen Mother about your second brother, and marry the princess quickly. He has the guts to run into the palace."

Dou Taizhu doesn't know what the Queen Mother thinks of the Dou family. After all, Dou Taizhu was raised by others. Even if she gets married, she has the final say in the mansion. If she says a word, no one dares to say anything. The second time, the Queen Mother greeted her with a smile all the time, but Mrs. Dou didn't think deeply about it.

But Ying Zheng could see clearly that the Queen Mother didn't want to see Dou's family at all. As long as the Queen Mother died, the Queen Mother would turn her face and deny anyone, let alone any marriage. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Queen Mother has been stretching, trying to delay again and again.

Ying Zheng said perfunctorily: "What are you in a hurry for? The second brother is not in a hurry yet. He has a wild heart in his heart. What if he neglects to marry the princess? Let's take a look at this matter before we talk about it."

Dou Taizhu also thinks it makes sense, his own son doesn't know, the eldest son is a bit harsh, but he is the eldest son after all, and he doesn't have to worry about the position in the future, the second son will be pleasing, but not enough, he If he is not the eldest son, there is almost no possibility of being a Hou, so Mrs. Dou just wanted to give him a way out.

Ying Zheng sent Mrs. Dou away. Just as he was about to go back, he saw an elder walking this way with a loose official robe hem. Although it was winter, he was walking this way while wiping the sweat on his forehead .

Ying Zheng recognized the other party at a glance, not because the other party appeared and walked around the palace frequently, but because the other party was one of the few people who could catch Ying Zheng's eyes, it was Wei Qihou Dou Ying.

Dou Ying is the empress dowager's nephew, and she is not too young. There are many steps in the East Palace, and the decoration is light. Dou Ying hurriedly came here with her hem in her hands.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng felt hesitant. With a smile on his face, he walked over, supported Dou Ying, and said with a smile, "Uncle is here."

Seeing Ying Zheng, Dou Ying quickly returned the salute with a smile, "Queen Sheng'an."

Ying Zheng said: "Why is uncle being so polite to me? Is he here to see the old lady? The empress dowager wants uncle to be in charge of winter and October?"

Dou Ying wiped off her sweat, smiled and nodded, "Exactly, exactly."

Ying Zheng wanted to win him over, so naturally he wanted to talk to him more, and it was best to establish a close relationship. While helping him to walk up the steps, he said: "That's right, in the old lady's heart, don't worry about how harsh you are on uncle and how unwelcome you are." Uncle, in the heart of the old man, only you are the backbone of the Dou family."

Dou Ying's whole body trembled, and she raised her head to glance at Ying Zheng, then felt rude, quickly lowered her head, and resumed her usual modest and rigorous appearance, but these words seemed to bring back some memories of Dou Ying, she couldn't help sighing and said with a wry smile : "I'm ashamed, because of one sentence, the old lady expelled me from the family. How could it be as good as what the empress said."

Ying Zheng said: "Or I say it's in the heart of the Empress Dowager."

He paused, and said with a smile: "Uncle, this truth is actually obvious. Let's be honest. It's understandable that the emperor wants to guard against his relatives, and against the Dou family. It's just that, don't care if it's in the heart of the emperor or the old lady. A trusted person, but you are the only one, don't care if your surname is Dou. Isn't that enough?"

Dou Ying held her breath for a moment, then laughed, "Ah Jiao, your mouth is getting stronger and stronger, I dare not agree to what you say."

As he was speaking, he suddenly changed the topic, and said: "I heard...the special envoy sent by the emperor to Dongou Kingdom retreated the Minyue Army without injuring a single soldier?"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Uncle is usually at home without work. It's been a few days ago. It's time for all the heroes to come back."

Dou Ying said: "This is all secondary, but I heard that this special envoy, Wei Qing, was recommended by you to the emperor?"

Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat. Dou Ying didn't stay at home, and he was so knowledgeable. He didn't know whether to praise him for his strength, or guard against his sharp mind.

Ying Zheng still answered with a smile on his face, and said: "Yes, I also discovered Wei Qing by accident. There used to be a maid named Wei Zifu serving me in Jiaofang Palace. I heard that he has a younger brother who can draw a bow." She is good at archery and swordsmanship, but her background is not good. She was a riding slave in Pingyanghoufu. I heard Zifu praised her younger brother so much, so I recommended her to the emperor. Unexpectedly, the emperor really used him and even beat her up. Victory."

Dou Ying didn't doubt Ying Zheng's words, but just nodded and said: "You can defeat the Yue people without moving a single soldier. This is a talent. Since you can recommend it in front of the emperor, you should persuade the emperor more."

Ying Zheng said: "This is what it should be, but..."

He followed Dou Ying's words and said with a smile: "It's just that I don't understand any important national affairs. I'm afraid that if I make a mistake in persuasion, it will ruin the big thing. I will need my uncle to give me more guidance in the future."

Dou Ying still didn't doubt Ying Zheng's words, and said, "Don't dare to be the queen, the old minister should answer the question of the empress."

Ying Zheng said: "That's it, the old lady must be waiting for you."

Dou Ying said goodbye, and then went to the hall.

Ying Zheng got Dou Ying's consent, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he turned to go down the steps. Chu Fu hurried forward to support him. After all, Ying Zheng was inconvenient and could not be touched.

Wei Qing returned to the court soon, and Yan Zhu, who made the first contribution this time, naturally went with him.

Liu Che was very happy to hear the news of Wei Qing's return to court. Wei Zifu happened to bring water to Liu Che, and the surprise water was sprinkled all over the floor. It happened that Liu Che was happy, so he didn't care about anything and didn't blame him.

Liu Che said: "Your younger brother has made great contributions this time. My sister is gentle and virtuous, and my younger brother is kind and loyal. I am very pleased."

When Wei Zifu heard that the emperor praised him, he immediately blushed and said: "The slaves are humble, how can they be worthy of the words 'tactful and virtuous', it is really frustrating."

When Liu Che is in a good mood, others can talk to him whatever they want, and don't care about the rules and decency, especially when Wei Zifu's words are so nice, Liu Che is in a good mood, saying: "Who says you can't be worthy?"

While talking, Li Yannian came in. He had worked in Yuefu before, but Tian Fu's words before, he was brought to Liu Che's side.

Li Yannian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Qing and Yan Zhu have already arrived at the gate of the palace, please tell the Emperor where to summon them."

Liu Che said: "Xuanshi Pavilion."

After he finished speaking, Li Yannian was about to go back to give orders when Liu Che suddenly said, "Wait."

Li Yannian turned around very obediently and came back, waiting for Liu Che to speak.

Liu Che said: "I won't go to the proclamation room anymore. Wei Qing was recommended by the empress before. Wei Qing has made a great contribution this time and has come back. I have to let the empress be happy. Let the Jiaofang hall summon me."

"This……"

Li Yannian was a little hesitant. He had never summoned ministers in the Jiaofang Hall before, after all, it was the Queen's bedroom.

He just hesitated for a moment, but immediately said with a smile on his face: "Your servant knows, let's go spread the word."

Wei Zifu heard that he suddenly mentioned the queen, and the good mood just disappeared in a flash. In Wei Zifu's eyes, the empress is not very warm to His Majesty, but His Majesty always likes to run to the Jiaofang Palace. Wei Zifu Zifu is really unpredictable, he can only think about whether he can't get it, which makes the emperor want it even more.

Liu Che changed his clothes, and when he arrived at the Jiaofang Palace, Wei Qing and Yan Zhu were already standing at the door, but because it was the Queen's bedroom, they just stood with their hands down and did not dare to go in.

Seeing the two of them, Liu Che smiled and said, "Don't stand there, just come in with me."

Only then did the two respond, and followed the emperor into the palace with their heads down.

Yingzheng had heard from his servants that the emperor wanted to summon Wei Qing and Yan Zhu in the Jiaofang Palace. Although he didn't like those trivial things, he couldn't let people gossip or get caught, so he ordered Chufu to give them to him. Changed clothes by myself.

When Liu Che and Wei Qingyanzhu came in, they were already sitting behind the bead curtain.

Liu Che walked over and lifted the curtain. I don't know if he was busy dealing with the post-war affairs of the Eastern Ou Kingdom these days, and he hadn't been to the Jiaofang Hall for a long time. Liu Che thought of that day all of a sudden, as he looked vaguely through the beaded curtain. The scene where I hold Ying Zheng's legs and use his legs to vent.

Liu Che coughed, passed the curtain, and said with a soft smile, "Sister Gillian is the most beautiful today."

As he spoke, he reached out and stroked Ying Zheng's temple hair.Ying Zheng neither moved nor spoke.

After Wei Qing and Yan Zhu came in, they knelt on the ground, called Empress Sheng'an, bowed their heads before standing up.

Liu Che sat beside Ying Zheng, because he was holding his hand through the curtain, so he couldn't be seen from the outside. Liu Che gently stroked Ying Zheng's fingertips, and smiled, "I know why I'm going to be in Jiaotong today." Did Fang Dian summon the two of you?"

Yan Zhu naturally didn't know why, but Wei Qing understood immediately, knelt down and said, "My humble minister thanked the empress for her kindness in introducing and cultivating her."

When Yan Zhu heard this, he didn't expect that the emperor asked him to go to the Eastern Ou Kingdom because of the empress's intention, but Yan Zhu was a smart person with extremely quick reactions, so he also knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your kindness. "

Liu Che said: "Let's all get up, I am happy today, you two have made great contributions again, I have thought about it for a long time and I don't know what to reward you, how about this..."

He paused as he spoke, but his hands still kept moving. He held Ying Zheng's hand and rubbed it back and forth. Ying Zheng held his breath, pretending he didn't see it.

Liu Che then smiled and said: "I heard that you killed Wang Cheng, the Sima of Kuaiji County? Wang Cheng was not wrong. You can't transfer troops without seeing the tiger talisman. It's just that you must do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. Wang Cheng is too rigid, but still He is a loyal minister, and his family should treat him generously. Since there is a lack of a Sima in Kuaiji County, then... Yan Zhu, you can be the Sima of Kuaiji. As for Wei Qing, I can't bear you to go so far, you still stay in the palace, Follow me to the forest garden to hunt."

Yan Zhu was so happy at the moment, he didn't know why, he knew that he had made a great contribution this time, without him, would the emperor be able to get back the tiger talisman from the empress dowager?Not at all.The emperor can control the military strength of this country, and truly control the power of the country, or rely on his own merits. To put it bluntly, his Yanzhu is the emperor's benefactor!

Although Kuaiji County is a little farther away, Wei Qing has hardly been promoted or rewarded, so compared to this, Yan Zhu feels that he is powerful and is very happy.

After hearing this, Ying Zheng turned to Liu Che and said, "Your Majesty's promotion of Yan Zhu as Sima of Kuaiji County is understandable, but Yan Zhu is an eloquent talent. How can he be a good Sima and manage the army?"

Ying Zheng's voice was not loud, and through the curtain, he obviously didn't want people outside to hear it. Yan Zhu outside only heard one ear, and immediately beat the drums in his heart. Although Yan Zhu also knew what Ying Zheng said was very reasonable, he himself He has no experience as a Sima at all, but he is not convinced in his heart, because of his own victory, the emperor can get the Tiger Talisman, Tiger Talisman and a small Sima, and he is so reluctant.

Liu Che just laughed when he heard this, and waved his hands: "Sister Ajiao, you are too worried. Yan Zhu is smart and thoughtful. This time he was able to defeat the Fujian and Vietnam Army. Yan Zhu has made a lot of contributions. He is just a Sima. Isn't it better than fighting?" Is it difficult for the Minyue army? Besides, Kuaiji County is a small county, and it is located in a remote place. I let him go there, and I didn't think about letting him go to fight for me."

Ying Zheng glanced at Liu Che indiscriminately. Liu Che said it easily, but Ying Zheng was startled suddenly. This was a warning.In the past, before he got the Tiger Talisman, what Ying Zheng said, what Liu Che believed, he believed it, and he agreed without any hesitation, but now that Liu Che has the Tiger Talisman for the first time, maybe on the surface he is still obedient to Ying Zheng, It seems that there are three thousand pets in one body, but the subconscious mind in his heart is slowly getting out of control.

Ying Zheng himself is a very thoughtful person, and he is also thoughtful, so he can see the big from the small. He doesn't say anything, but he has silently remembered it in his heart. Liu Che has got the tiger charm, his wings are stiff, and he is about to start his own actions. .

Ying Zheng didn't say anything more, his obedience made Liu Che very happy, and he gave some rewards to Yan Zhu and Wei Qing.

Wei Qing is a martial arts practitioner, with sharp eyes and ears, and he could clearly hear the conversation between Yingzheng and Liu Che from a long distance away. He used to wonder why an emperor would listen to the queen of the harem, no matter how much the emperor loves a woman, it is impossible Listening to other people's political affairs, this conjecture is really clear now.

The emperor didn't obey the empress, but he had no choice. Liu Che, who had just become a great treasure, was almost isolated, and because of the reform and appointment of Confucian scholars, he angered the empress dowager. He was even more helpless. At this time, Ying Zheng After giving him the kit, Liu Che naturally trusted him [-]% and was moved.

However, now that the Tiger Talisman is in his hand, even Liu Che himself may not feel that he wants to focus on himself.

Although Wei Qing came from a humble background, making people think he is a general, but he is motivated and willing to learn, he understands many things quickly, and he is cautious and courteous. Others said that they only went to claim credit after going through the back door.

How could such a Wei Qing fail to see what the emperor meant?

If anyone is right, Wei Qing also feels that Ying Zheng is right, Yan Zhu is just an eloquent, not qualified for the post of Sima.

Winter and October are coming soon, and the Empress Dowager has ordered that everything should be properly arranged when the princes enter Beijing this time, not to save money, but to make all the princes comfortable, after all, everyone is scattered in the capital. In each fiefdom, you can't see a few sides in a year.

The old people are always nostalgic. The empress dowager is so old, she always wants to reunite and enjoy family happiness, but in the inner courtyard of the palace, there is no such thing as a reunion.

As the surname of Liu, the King of Huainan naturally wanted to come to Beijing, but his son Liu Qian seemed to have offended someone before, which would cause trouble, so Liu An placed his son in the fief, and did not take him with him, but took him with him. His daughter Liu Ling went to Beijing to worship.

Liu Ling was sweet and talkative, and went to the Empress Dowager's East Palace before the banquet, but unfortunately, Ying Zheng was paying his respects in the East Palace.

When Liu Ling met Ying Zheng, he greeted Yingzheng politely. His father was Liu An, the king of Huainan. He and Liu Ling naturally didn't want Liu Che's child to be born. If it was a daughter, it would be fine. If it was really a son, wouldn't it be a big deal.

Liu Ling looked at Ying Zheng for a while, and smiled sweetly, "Oh, look at the Queen's sister, with this figure, even a man with a body is still so good-looking, no wonder the emperor loves my sister so much."

As she said, she turned to the Empress Dowager and said, "Empress Dowager, do you know that when I entered Beijing, I heard that a great immortal came to Chang'an City."

The Empress Dowager is surrounded by people like the Empress Dowager Dou besides the maids. It has been a long time since someone young and able to speak has come. Liu Ling always picks up nice words, and the Empress Dowager is naturally happy, so she followed her and asked: Is there a Daxian?"

Liu Ling patted the empress dowager's shoulders lightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, and I heard that this great fairy is effective! What he said must be accurate, and what's even more strange is that he doesn't need to speak. , only speak with the belly."

"Oh?" The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "There are people who talk with their stomachs?"

"I didn't believe it at first, so I went to visit once, and I really believed it. He said my birth date was extremely accurate. This is such a great fairy. Liu Ling felt that the Queen's sister was pregnant with such a big baby." For a happy event, how about inviting the Great Immortal into the palace and let him say a few words to the Empress Sister?"

The Empress Dowager listened, first she smiled, then frowned, the smile slowly froze on her face, then she waved her hand and said: "Forget it, these great immortals, please don't invite me if you have nothing to do. late."

Before Yingzheng could speak, Liu Ling quickly changed his words when he heard what the old lady said: "The empress dowager thought well, and this is also the reason. The queen sister is by the emperor's side, protected by a real dragon, and she is not afraid of other things." What."

Liu Ling's mouth was like honey, and made the Empress Dowager laugh several times. Ying Zheng didn't want to waste time with such a person. After sitting for a while, he got up and said goodbye. Liu Ling also got up and said he should go back. Alright, wait for the banquet tonight.

When Ying Zheng and Liu Ling came out, Liu Che's car stopped just in time. Liu Che got out of the car, and Liu Ling's eyes lit up. He stepped forward with small steps, bent his knees slightly, and said hello, "Your Majesty!" Sheng'an, Liu Ling is paying respects."

Liu Che struggled a bit, seeing that she didn't recognize her for a while, then smiled and said, "So it's sister Liu Ling, I almost didn't recognize her, she's getting more and more beautiful."

Liu Ling smiled shyly, lowered his head slightly, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty really knows how to make fun of Liu Ling, and the Queen's sister is still here."

Liu Che really didn't see Ying Zheng who was lagging behind. If he saw it, he wouldn't be so obvious to tease Liu Ling. Liu Ling's words were meant for Ying Zheng. She can also flirt with Liu Che in front of him.

It's just that Liu Che's face froze when he heard this sentence, and following Liu Ling's gaze, he really saw Ying Zheng, coughed dryly, and said, "A-Jiao has come to the East Palace, next time you will come to the Taihuang Empress Dowager please greet me and call me together, lest you come out alone, I won't worry about it."

Liu Ling didn't expect such a result, he held his breath in his chest and couldn't get up or down.

Ying Zheng glanced at Liu Ling, smiled at Liu Che, and said, "It's not too far away, Your Majesty, Labor, how good it is."

Hearing Ying Zheng's soft words to him, Liu Che's heart almost melted. He held Ying Zheng's hand in one hand and his shoulder in the other, letting Ying Zheng half lean into his arms, and said with a smile, "Sister Gillian is still talking to you!" I can't see it."

Liu Ling was so regretful that his intestines were green, and his silver teeth were almost shattered, but he couldn't show it. He still had a gentle smile on his face, so he could only pull his sleeves.

With a smile on his mouth, he said: "The emperor and the queen's sister are really affectionate. Liu Ling heard about it in Huainan, and this sight is indeed true."

Ying Zheng was carried in Liu Che's arms, her back was stiff, she was just a woman who was overwhelmed, so provocative, Ying Zheng followed Liu Che's movements and did not resist. After so many months, Ying Zheng's body I'm used to Liu Che's touch, and his body is sensitive, not just a habit, it's more accurate to say enjoyment.But it doesn't mean that Ying Zheng accepts Liu Che's touch in his heart.

Liu Ling narrowed his eyes and secretly went to stare at Ying Zheng.

Li Yannian ran over from a distance, and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, what a big deal! The envoy of the Huns sent a letter."

Speaking of holding a letter like a piece of leather with both hands, Liu Che let go of his arms, no longer hugged Yingzheng, and took the letter from Li Yannian. The new King of the Huns has ascended the throne. Send it to your loved ones.

When Liu Che read it, a burst of anger surged up, and he threw the letter on the ground and stepped on it.

Li Yannian quickly knelt down, picked up the letter, and said: "Your Majesty, this is not to be trampled on. If the Hun envoys find out, something big will happen again!"

What Liu Che hates the most in his life is the Huns. What he feels most embarrassing is that the men of the big man want to hide behind the woman and exchange the "peace" of humiliation with marriage, and Liu Che's greatest ambition is to repel the Huns and let them know that the big man is majesty.

Li Yannian stooped to pick up the letters like this. He was afraid that the Huns would know his displeasure. Liu Che was annoyed. He kicked Li Yannian over and shouted, "Get lost."

Li Yannian was kicked. Liu Che was also trained on horseback. This kick was not light. Li Yannian realized that he had touched Liu Che's bottom line. He quickly got up, even rolling and crawling. Dare to delay and run away.

Liu Ling had never seen Liu Che lose his temper before. In his eyes, Liu Che was more prestigious. He had a mother who knew how to look at her face, and a queen who was doted on by the empress dowager, which made him what he is now. The emperor's throne, but Liu Ling was startled at the moment.

Ying Zheng glanced at Liu Ling, and then smiled at Liu Che, "Why is Your Majesty so angry? You are just a dull slave, and His Majesty is not worthy of your anger at all."

After listening to Ying Zheng's persuasion, Liu Che felt that his anger had subsided a little, and he thought that he was right. If Li Yannian greeted people with a smile and served him well, he would be a slave, just a sparrow, and he would not be able to make a fortune.

Ying Zheng said again: "Getting married...isn't a big deal."

Liu Che sneered, "This is humiliation. If I agree, I will slap myself hard!"

Ying Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the new King of the Huns has just assumed the throne. Have you ever thought about why he is so eager for His Majesty to send the princess to marry him?"

After he finished speaking, Liu Che was stunned for a moment, and Ying Zheng continued: "Of course, this is not the appearance that the Huns want to reconcile with the big man, but the meaning of the Huns spying on the emperor. The Huns are nomads, they can't weave, they can't Farming, horses don’t have any fresh grass to eat in winter. Only when the horses eat grass in the spring can they gain weight and fight. At this time, the Huns sent envoys over, clearly prepared Come on, if the emperor refuses to marry, there will be a big battle when the spring begins, and the training of the Han army will not only take a short winter, and the preparations will not be complete at that time, so the Huns will have an opportunity."

After listening to Liu Che, he didn't speak for a long time. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Sister Gillian is very reasonable."

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "The emperor can't fall into the hands of the Huns. The Huns want to fight, but not now, so they must pretend to seek peace and try to prepare for as long as possible."

Liu Che said: "It still needs to send the princess to get married."

The smile on Ying Zheng's face was even stronger, and he glanced at Liu Ling, Liu Che also saw his gaze, and looked at Liu Ling along the way.

Liu Ling's heart tightened, and sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. Although she is the princess of Huainan, which woman wants to marry the Xiongnu?Let’s not talk about the distance, the customs are different, the Huns are half-barbarians, and eating and sleeping in the open are small problems. These married princesses don’t get any respect at all. The princess who occupied the Han Dynasty was honor and a symbol of strength.

Liu Che also understood what Ying Zheng meant. Liu Ling was indeed very suitable, with his position here, and he hadn't left the cabinet yet.

Liu Ling saw that Liu Che was also looking at him, his face turned pale in fright, he quickly knelt down, and said, "Liu Ling still has something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

That's all, and left in a hurry.

Ying Zheng looked at her back and sneered.

Liu Ling left the palace and went back to Huainan Wang's residence in the capital. Liu An saw that she was in a hurry and didn't see any guests coming, so he shouted, "So you don't understand the rules?"

Only then did Liu Ling see that there was a guest at home, and she knew this person, Tian Fu, the current emperor's uncle.

Liu Ling immediately put on a smile and said, "I didn't know Marquis Wu An was here, but the little girl is really rude."

Tian Fu fell in love with Liu Qian before, but Liu Qian was spoiled and always played with others by himself. Even if he knew that his father wanted to do great things, it was impossible for Tian Fu to move him.

And Liu Qian and Liu Ling are somewhat similar, Liu Lingsheng is more soft and beautiful, Liu Ling saw Tian Fu's eyes as if they were sucking on his body, and smiled immediately: "Marquis Wu'an, sit down quickly, please sit down."

"Good good."

Tian Fu laughed while looking at Liu Ling very openly.

Huainan Wang Liu An naturally also noticed it, and said with a smile: "My daughter, my husband, is spoiled. She speaks no matter how big or small she is. Don't let Marquis Wu An make fun of her."

Tian Fu hurriedly said: "Where is it, the princess is not only born beautiful, but also has a gentle demeanor, and she can only be envied by others."

Liu An waved his hand, "Marquis Wu An really knows how to speak nicely, this time he spoiled the little girl."

Tian Fu and Liu An were courteous for a while, and said: "To be honest, I came this time because of what you said last time."

When Liu An heard it, he immediately knew what was going on. Naturally, it was the matter that he asked Liu Qian to lobby Tian Fu and raise a big event together.

Liu An smiled and said, "I don't know Marquis Wu An, how are you thinking?"

Tian Fu looked a little embarrassed, but kept his eyes on Liu Ling, and said, "This... this is a big deal."

Liu An immediately understood what Tian Fu meant, and hurriedly said: "Daughter, why don't you fill up the wine for Marquis Wu An, are you so blind?"

Liu Ling laughed and said, "Daughter was only looking at Marquis Wu An's demeanor, but forgot to pour the wine."

Her words made Tian Fu beautiful, so Liu An said: "Marquis Wu An, I don't know about that..."

Tian Fu drank two glasses of wine and said with a smile: "What's the big deal? There is no crown prince now, and the palace chariot drives for a day, who can stand without you?"

As soon as Liu An heard this sentence, he couldn't help laughing. He stood up and poured a glass of wine for Tian Fu himself, and said, "Oh, Marquis Wu An really flattered me."

Tian Fu said: "What I said is naturally the truth."

Liu An said again: "It's just... as you know, now the empress is pregnant with the emperor's dragon species, this..."

Tian Fu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Prince Huainan, you don't even care about such trivial matters. Let's not talk about whether the queen is pregnant with a boy, what if it is a girl? Take a step back, even if it is not a coincidence, it is indeed a girl. Boy, after all, he is a branch of the Dou family. Can the emperor not be afraid, can the emperor make him the crown prince? The emperor should also think about it, the Dou family will not be rebellious, and dig a hole in the sky? And ah..."

As he spoke, he touched Liu Ling's leg, who was kneeling by the side, and while touching with a smile on his face, he said, "And... who said that this child can be born? What if it can't be born, right?"

Liu An, the king of Huainan, laughed after hearing this, and said, "That's right, Marquis Wu'an is right."

Tian Fu touched it, but Liu Ling didn't go to hide, and even leaned over to let him touch it down. Tian Fu was happy, drank two more glasses of wine, his heart was shaking, and he smiled: "I'll tell you something... ...The Queen Mother, I don't want this child to be born, you say, can the Queen give birth?"

The king of Huainan was overjoyed, and quickly flattered him again. After drinking for a while, he gave Liu Ling a wink.

Liu An called Liu Ling to stop, and said: "Be sure to make Tian Fu feel comfortable, and don't miss the time, you will follow me into the palace to have a banquet later, you know."

Liu Ling nodded and said: "Father, don't worry, Tian Fu, rich and colorful, can settle everything. Are you afraid that your daughter can't deal with him?"

Talking and laughing, he opened the curtain and walked inside.

Because there was a banquet, the princes came to the palace early, and they had to bring something when they came. Naturally, they had to present some treasures to Liu Che to please the new emperor.

At the banquet, everyone was present, and Liu Che came in with Ying Zheng. Everyone knelt down and shouted. After the Empress Dowager entered the table, everyone sat down and had a polite conversation for a while.

King Hejian asked someone to carry a big box in, and Liu Che said with a smile, "It seems that King Hejian's gift is heavy enough."

The King of Hejian laughed and said: "My humble minister has a clean sleeve, and I don't have much spare money to collect valuable gifts. All the salary from the court is spent on this. Please accept it with a smile."

Liu Che asked someone to open it to see what was inside the big box, but when he opened it, it was all bamboo slips, volumes of books.

Liu Che was a little dumbfounded. After all, he thought there should be some precious jade or ornaments inside, but it turned out to be bamboo slips. No one would present bamboo slips as gifts to the emperor.

King Hejian quickly laughed and said: "The emperor doesn't know something, and all my humble ministers have devoted their efforts to this. Back then, Qin Shihuang burned books and robbed Confucian scholars, and burned many classics. This humble minister is collecting these classics, buying them back, and preparing to put them all in." Dedicated to the emperor."

Liu Che nodded. The things Hejian Wang sent were too ostentatious, but Liu Che couldn't say anything, but it happened that Yingzheng was also nearby, and suddenly heard Hejian Wang use that tone of condemnation and disdain to say that Qin Shihuang burned books. Confucianism, the face sank immediately.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "It's hard for King Hejian to have such painstaking efforts. It's not easy to collect these books."

King Hejian was approved by the old lady, and responded with a smile: "This is what I should do, and I will try my best to buy ancient books in the future, but how can these humble ministers compare to Huainan King Huainan?" What about Wang Shu?"

Everyone was eating wine and food, the Empress Dowager laughed and said: "Speaking of which, I also happened to have a few days ago, the King Huainan's book presented by King Huainan was very good. I studied it, even the emperor, I studied it, didn't I, the emperor?"

As soon as the Empress Dowager spoke, everyone put down their hands and could not eat any more, and listened intently.

Liu Che became angry when he heard the words "Huainan King's Book". He was angry with the Huns envoy just now, and he had no place to vent his anger. He laughed and said, "Indeed, I have also studied it. Huang Lao's knowledge is profound and profound." , Huainan Wangshu discusses everything from the way of heaven and earth to the principles of health preservation, but..."

As soon as he changed the subject, Huainan King Liu An hurriedly leaned forward and said: "This book of my humble minister has not been completely finished. If there are any mistakes, please come down and correct them."

Liu Che said with a smile: "It's just that because we talk about everything, some places are not very accurate, such as the way of governing the country and the way of using soldiers. King Huainan, what you wrote is not accurate. Aiding Dongou Kingdom is The best testimony, Lao Tzu's way of fighting, is quiet and moving, positive and strange. It is because I studied Lao Tzu that I was able to repel the Fujian and Vietnam Army without a single soldier, right? In fact, in my opinion, apart from national affairs, , King Huainan's book is still very well written, such as this health preservation, I would like to ask Huainan King for advice on this health preservation... the art in the house."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huainan King Liu An's face was green and white, and his old face was very colorful. Everyone was a prince and king, and they didn't grow up eating free rice. Anyone who is not a shrewd person has sharp ears. It could be heard that Liu Che was embarrassing Liu An, the king of Huainan.

At the moment, everyone was holding back a smile, looking like they were watching a good show.

The Empress Dowager has always been waiting to see Liu An, because there are many factions in the current court, and Liu Che used Confucianism before, which made Confucianism flourish for a while. In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, the official school Huang Lao was relatively lonely. At this time, Liu An chose to dedicate a book to the old man. Ma'am, you are undoubtedly expressing your position. How could the Empress Dowager ignore him.

The Empress Dowager was a little unhappy. It was a happy family banquet, but Liu Che said some nasty things, and he didn't care about other people's faces. With so many princes and kings present, Huainan King Liu An's face was naturally lost.

Liu An saw that the old lady's face changed obviously, and he pretended to be patient and said: "What the emperor said is very... very... Although this book took my whole life's effort, it's just that it doesn't have to be painstaking effort. Alright, being pointed out by the emperor's sentence, I also feel that this book is too fluffy."

The Empress Dowager interjected: "Okay, Huainan King doesn't have to be too self-effacing, Mr. Huang's essence is broad and profound, and your book is already very good."

Liu An was self-effacing for a while now, and Liu Che ignored King Huainan in disdain. This man was just an old fox, and if he made fun of him, he pretended to be pitiful, like an old lady asking for help.

Now that Liu Che has the Tiger Talisman, he is not afraid of him showing his favor to the Empress Dowager at all, but he must abide by filial piety after all. Since the Empress Dowager stopped talking, he can't say it anymore.

After everyone finished watching the joke, they each started to eat and drink again. Liu Che naturally didn't have to worry about it. A waiter had to prepare the meat and vegetables and put them in Liu Che's bowl.

Liu Che took a piece of meat, brought it to Ying Zheng, and said with a smile
