[Comprehensive Wear] It's hard to be a princess

There are naturally rules for the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty to pay tribute to Beijing, and they cannot come every year, nor can they not come for several years.With the reduction of feudal vassals in those years, several big princes and states were split up, and the power of princes and kings also shrunk a lot. It can be said that princes and kings still have some authority in their own palaces. After that, how many people recognized them as princes and kings?The domestic affairs of the vassals are mainly determined by the ministers of the country, and these ministers of the country are all sent down from above. Therefore, the means for them to show their presence is to build large-scale construction projects, collect corvees, and make money in other ways. Show off your abilities, then I'm sorry, some people above will inevitably think that you have some bad intentions, and they will find fault with you later!Liu Che has always been a narrow-minded person. Nowadays, among the princes and kings of the Han family, many people have been convicted. For example, Liu Che's brothers, who can still be princes and kings in peace, are almost gone. In addition to the country, under such circumstances, even his own son, in the closure of the country, still shy away, not daring to make any obvious moves.

Not only is there not enough power, staying in a closed country, far away from the center, but also easy to be spoken ill of, many things are not determined by what you do, but by what others say.If there are too many people who say bad things about you, nothing will become something. Besides, many princes and kings can't stand to be investigated for their own actions. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to build a good relationship with the center!

On the side of the Crown Prince’s womb, Liu Ju can still sit still, but those officials in the Crown Prince’s uterus can’t sit still. Being prepared for danger in times of peace is a good quality. Even if it seems that the emperor has no intention of abolishing the establishment, it is best to do it first Know ourselves and know each other.

In the past, when the princes and kings did not come to Beijing, although there were occasional visits to Nagato Palace, the frequency was actually very low, because Chen Ajiao was obviously not interested in political affairs, and Princess Luoyi, who was favored by the emperor, was relatively young now, so Well, many people are nothing more than giving gifts during the New Year and holidays, to cultivate their relationship first, and in the future, if they really want to ask for something, the other party is too embarrassed to refuse it.However, after the princes and kings entered the capital, Nagato Palace became extremely popular.Some people even said in private that they didn't recognize Wei Zifu as the queen, they only recognized Chen Ajiao, the concubine crowned by the late emperor, and the empress appointed by the empress dowager.

Of course, this matter is easy to understand. Wei Zifu is the queen, and Liu Ju is the eldest son. To them, there is no benefit at all. But Chen Ajiao has no sons. So, she is the queen, and everyone else is hers in terms of etiquette. Son, if she has a bias, it will be difficult to say in the future!

"Heh, all of these are quite rich!" Chen Ajiao looked at the things sent by the various princes and kings, and couldn't help but click her tongue twice, "If this happens every year, we won't be able to put it in our warehouse!"

Da Changqiu jokingly said: "My Lord, why are you worried about this? If the warehouse can't fit, then build another one. Besides, our princess is getting bigger and bigger, so we can't just save money, we have to prepare some property for the princess!"

Chen Ajiao nodded in agreement, that's right, just putting money in the warehouse is definitely not enough, gold cakes and the like are okay, they don't take up space, and they keep their value, but other things are different, For example, the pearls sent by Qi State are indeed good things, but these things will change color after a long time, so if they are not all used, they will be worthless if they are kept.The same is true for clothing materials. Over time, even if the material is okay, the color will fade, so it is meaningless!

Chen Ajiao pondered for a while, and said: "In this case, I will call people's attention later, and buy some shops for Ashu, and the land will be fine!" It happened to be an opportunity to acquire some good store properties, so who could sue himself?As for the purchase of land, Chen Ajiao thought it was better to forget it. The shop can be rented out, so there is no need to worry too much. It is not a simple matter to rent good land to farmers. You have to have enough people to manage it, and Chen Ajiao doesn't have much. Reliable people, as for the old people who are looking for Princess Guantao to stay behind, forget it, these people don't know what their thoughts are!Therefore, it is still safe to shop, buy a few more houses, don't count on the princess mansion arranged by Liu Che, this kind of princess mansion is mostly rebuilt from the mansions of those convicted lieutenants, there is really nothing to say.Therefore, it is very necessary to find some places with beautiful mountains and clear waters to set up a few other businesses. To avoid the heat in summer and avoid the cold in winter, this kind of life is called comfort, so that you will not feel wronged.

Chen Ajiao is not at all guilty of taking gifts from these cheap sons. After all, these are the filial piety of the younger generation, you are filial to me, do you still expect me to do something for you?In addition, these guys are all bent on pulling Liu Ju down. Even if Chen Ajiao doesn't speak up, there will be people who will continue to follow suit. In short, if Liu Ju can't be emperor for a day, he will be a target for a day. I don't know how much People are thinking about pulling him down!

Each of them has the idea of ​​​​replacing them in their hearts. A group of princes and princes are now making various shows in Chang'an City.

Liu Che was well aware of the thoughts of these sons. After all, he also came here at that time. Even after he became the prince, he had to continue to act with his father and grandmother to show his filial piety, while Liu Rong After being abolished, the other brothers also always showed their talents in front of the late emperor. In short, it proved that they were the best choice!

Now his sons, if you really want to talk about it, their methods are relatively raw. After all, they are young and can't hold their breath. They don't realize at all that the key now is not who Liu Che chooses, but who the military chooses!As long as Wei Qing is still around, with his credit, if Liu Che doesn't want to get the reputation of crossing rivers and tearing down bridges, then unless Liu Ju commits some unforgivable mistakes, otherwise, at least while Wei Qing is alive, his position will not be shaken.

Therefore, unless these sons can be supported by a few people like Wei Qing, otherwise, within ten years, there will be no chance at all!

Liu Che was also a little helpless. After Huo Qubing died, Wei Qing was only sitting in the rear as a general, and he would not go into battle in person in an idle battle!There is no way, Wei Qing is already unsealable, Emperor Gaozu beheaded a white horse as an oath, and only the Liu family cannot be crowned king. In this way, Wei Qing has reached the peak of being a minister, even if it is to protect Wei Qing, it is impossible for Liu Che to let Wei Qing go up again Battlefield!But without Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, the other generals would have no dominant advantage over the Huns, and now they have entered a stalemate with the Huns.

Although the Huns have lost the Qilian Mountains and Yanzhi Mountains, they still have a large area of ​​grassland, and they can even attack the Western Regions. They can obtain enough resources from the Western Regions, including population, war horses, and a lot of wealth. The Huns can’t beat the Han people This hard bone even lost several teeth because of it, but the Xiongnu still maintains a great advantage over those countries in the Western Regions. However, the big Han is beyond the reach of the Western Regions. It is too far away and it is difficult to interfere. get there.When Zhang Qian went on a mission to the Western Regions, he indeed established contact with the countries in the Western Regions. However, compared with the imminent threat of the Huns, the big man was too far away, and he could not help them at all.The Da Yue clan, who originally had an enmity with the Huns, has long since disappeared without a trace. In other countries, Wusun Kingdom has a more complicated relationship with the Huns. They used to be as close as wearing a pair of pants with the Huns, but later, the two It fell out again, Wusun split, some of them defected to the Huns, and the other ran away directly.

In fact, there is not much that the big man can do. When you march into the Xiongnu, you can feed on the enemy and reduce the pressure on logistics. But if you go to the Western Regions, you don’t bring enough food and grass. You want to count on the small countries in the Western Regions to provide you with logistics. Food and grass, that is almost impossible. Those small countries in the Western Regions may be just an oasis. How much food can be produced in this small place? Once the Han army comes, even if it is just a transit, they will eat them poor Besides, there is a saying that it is easy to ask the gods to send the gods, and they may not trust the big man. The Huns come to rob at least they also pay attention to a sustainable development. Under normal circumstances, they just grab food, gold coins, women and craftsmen, so that those nobles The king has really become a pauper, but what is the big man thinking?

Therefore, it is impossible to count on any substantive support from the Western Regions. At most, in order to protect their wealth and status, they will not directly join the Xiongnu and fight against the big man!Form an alliance with the big Han verbally, and may even send a few princes and nobles out as protons, but while doing so, they may also send protons to the Huns at the same time.This is the sorrow of the weak, and they can only be said to be honest and foolish.

In the past, when Huo Qubing was around, they would put the Wuhuan people at the forefront, and the Wuhuan people also regarded Huo Qubing as a god, and they would fight wherever they could. became a problem.

In short, Liu Che is really short of people now, he needs a new dominant general, but unfortunately, so far, there is really no one!He really wanted to promote Li Guangli now, but as Li Guangli, he would have no problem fighting with the wind, but if he encountered adversity, he might not succeed!In the past, Liu Che could still think about letting Li Guangli exercise, but now, Liu Che also feels a little exhausted!

However, Liu Che is quite good at playing tricks. He praised his sons, left them with a little hope, and then sent them back to the fief, which made many people unable to understand. What does Liu Che mean?

Liu Che now feels that he is still in his prime, and Liu Ju is still young, that is to say, he has not really participated in the government affairs yet, and he is not doing well, but if he is really allowed to start participating in the government affairs, then his political views will be too much. It will be exposed slowly, and gradually, the courtiers will know how to choose!Don't think that only the king chooses his ministers. In fact, as a courtier, he also hopes to work under a monarch who can let him show what he has learned.If it is inconsistent with the monarch's three views, then it will be a disaster!For example, under the hands of Gaozu Liu Bang, Confucianism was very miserable. Except for one Shusun Tong, relying on his tact and sophistication and various flattery, he occupied a place with Gaozu. Nose scolding!Not to mention the smooth progress, even if you want to save your life, it is not an easy task.

Moreover, you can change your own school of thought, but it is difficult for you to change your own interests. When a person from the landlord class, all he wants to do is to merge land, expand the family wealth, and gather more people. An emperor who wants to split the family, force the big family to separate and set up households, and when he finds out that the land annexation has reached a red line, he will put the other party into the ranks of the powerful and force people to leave their homes and move to the mausoleum. How many promising people, if you don't pay attention to it, you will be unlucky!Similarly, under the leadership of an emperor who is in war, if you shout all day to make peace with the people, accuse the emperor of being overjoyed and resort to war, you will definitely be in bad luck.But for an emperor who only wants peace, you are shouting to avenge a hundred generations, that is also taking jujube pills!

Therefore, after Liu Ju participated in the government, when his political inclinations were exposed, naturally many people who originally supported him as the crown prince would get farther and farther away from him, and of course, some people would flock to him more closely. Around, at that time, the conflict in the court will be the dispute between the prince's party and the opposing prince's party, and Liu Che can deal with it calmly.

When Liu Che said that he wanted to let Liu Ju officially participate in politics, most people didn't realize Liu Che's thoughts. Instead, they felt that Liu Che had affirmed the prince's talent, so he was going to let the prince officially enter the court.Many people rejoiced at this, even Wei Zifu and Wei Qing were relieved by this.Liu Ju has so many ministers to help him, and he just joined politics at the moment, and Liu Che will not let him solve any embarrassing problems. If Liu Ju can't handle those simple things, then he really shouldn't be the crown prince. !

Only a few people who have experienced the whole life sighed at this. Liu Ju's weakness is too obvious. He is simply out of date. As a prince, if he is the prince of Emperor Xiaojing, it will be fine, but it is for Liu Che. It is very sad that Emperor Xiaowu is the crown prince.Once the emperor and the courtiers, Liu Che became the emperor, so the ones who are proud of it are the military's gang of murderers. They got the chance to stand out from their military exploits, and they were dismissed and returned to the fields. Who can laugh at such things that hinder people's future? What's the end?Of course, the folks would probably agree with this. People will die in wars. If you can always win the war, and the losses are not big, it’s fine. Everyone can accept it, but now the losses are not small. The soldiers are fine. Sadly, even if a lot of fertile land was allocated, the men were conscripted to transport grain and serve as logistics. Judging from the frequency of the Han army's expeditions, it was easy to miss the farming season and no one would cultivate it. What's the use? Even many landlords can't even hire tenants. The landlords in the north are okay. They don't live on land rent, but use the land to form a good village party, so that they can lead the township party to serve in the army.But it's different in other places. They need someone to help them work. As a result, they are all conscripted to work in the army, and their interests are naturally not guaranteed.

Therefore, Liu Ju's proposition can still be supported by some people. However, his previous base was actually the military. When the military no longer stood for him, then, relying on those supporters alone, he Can you secure the position of the prince again?

Mrs. Wei is not optimistic anyway. To be honest, Mrs. Wei finds it difficult to understand Liu Shi’s choice, just like he finds it difficult to understand his son Fusu. However, he knows that he can’t change anything, so he can only act as if he doesn’t know anything. Mrs. Wei showed great resistance to Wei Qing's desire to have Mrs. Wei serve as a sacrificing person to Liu Ju. He was implicated if he did not serve as a sacrificing person to Liu Ju in his previous life. , that's not dead yet!Mrs. Wei refused of course, and Wei Qing couldn't do anything about it, because later Mrs. Wei actually went to ask Princess Pingyang, and then Princess Pingyang found Mrs. Wei an errand in Dahonghe, who was responsible for diplomatic relations and other matters. The affairs of the border tribes, and also serve as the tribute of the vassal states, this is actually a relatively leisurely job, and it is not easy to make mistakes. The rank ratio of Dahonglu Qingqing is only [-] shi, and the rank ratio of the subordinate officials is not high naturally, but Now the big man can be said to be the center of the world, and the surrounding countries, whoever dares to stab the big man is the Xiongnu, and now the attitude towards the big man is relatively humble. Under such circumstances, the status of the big man is naturally worse than before up.However, the advantage of this yamen is its stability, and nothing will go wrong.What Mrs. Wei wanted was stability, so he quickly ran to take office.

Who is Princess Pingyang? She immediately realized that Mrs. Wei was not optimistic about Liu Shi, which made Princess Pingyang feel a little gloating, and then she planned to see if she could use Mrs. Wei's The hand gave Wei Zifu and Liu Ju an embarrassment.Princess Pingyang did such a trick, and others didn't feel it. Wei Qing knew her son well, and naturally understood that Princess Pingyang's move was actually to show that she had not forgotten the revenge of killing her son, which made Wei Qing even more helpless .

Also aware of this is Princess Zhuyi. Princess Zhuyi and Mrs. Wei have a tacit understanding. Both of them were implicated inexplicably. When the princess recovered the memory of her previous life, she was already facing an embarrassing situation.They thought about pushing Liu Zheng up, but after thinking about Liu Zheng's character carefully, they realized that this was not feasible.Liu Ju looks generous, but in fact this person has inherited the old Liu family's unkindness and ungratefulness. He is an egoist, like the scourge of witchcraft back then. Rise up and resist. Before that, were those unlucky people because of the hatred between Gongsun He, Gongsun Jingsheng and Zhu Anshi?To put it bluntly, everything is aimed at the crown prince Liu Ju!But at that time, he had been standing still. If he had acted early, even if he still failed and died in the end, Princess Zhuyi and Mrs. Wei would not be so disappointed, but Liu Ju didn't do anything!

Therefore, the two men communicated in private later, and then they decided that what they needed was to find a suitable opportunity to separate from Liu Ju, so as to avoid future disasters. A handful of Princess Yangshi, after all, Princess Yangshi was also very wronged.Mrs. Wei did not have any objection to this. He actually had a pretty good relationship with his cousins ​​at the beginning. At the beginning, he was arrested for entering the palace without authorization. Princess Zhuyi and Princess Yangshi even pleaded for him. Being pretended to be Chengdan, they also secretly sent a lot of things, which is why Mrs. Wei contacted Princess Zhuyi after she realized that she was reborn. If they want to save themselves, they have to cooperate, at least not to hinder each other !

Like at this time, although the princess of Zhuyi was well aware of Wei's attitude, when Wei Zifu asked, she still said: "Even if my cousin does not enter the womb, is it in the eyes of others? People who are not the prince? They are a family, so why take up another quota! Although there is no quota for the prince, there will be more people in the future, so it is not appropriate to choose too much now. We can select the more suitable person according to the merits, so as to add another boost to the uterus!"

Princess Zhuyi knew that Wei Zifu liked to hear such words, and as expected, Wei Zifu believed what she said, and she still sighed: "My husband is still too careful, he is a majestic Yichunhou, let alone a prince. Don't give up, no matter how senior you are, even the prince's family order can do it!"

That's what Wei Zifu said, how important the position of the prince's family order is, you must know that later this official position is the crown prince Shaofu, so you can know what this official position is all about!At the beginning, Emperor Xiaojing's prince's family order was Chao Cuo, so after Emperor Xiaojing ascended the throne, he rose to the top and soon became a royal doctor. If he didn't lack military achievements, the position of prime minister would have fallen to him!Of course, he also died a miserable death. He strongly advocated cutting down the vassals, just as Emperor Xiaojing wanted. As a result, the Seven Kingdoms rebelled, playing on the side of the Qing emperor, and in the name of punishing Chao Cuo. , There is no such thing as posthumous mourning after death.Even though Emperor Xiaojing knew that Chao Cuo's death was wronged, he still couldn't admit his mistake. Therefore, Chao Cuo's death was no longer mentioned, so as not to be remembered by Emperor Xiaojing.As for Liu Che, he does not have a prince's family order, but has a grand tutor, that is, Wei Wan, who is honest and loyal. As a result, he was dismissed shortly after Liu Che came to power, which shows that Liu Che didn't care much about this tutor. There are deep feelings to speak of.

Mrs. and Mrs. Wei are a young boy, and Wei Zifu would say anything about the prince's family order, even the princesses of Zhuyi felt that Wei Zifu's words were not right, and secretly sighed that Wei Zifu had no sincerity.Wei Zifu has always been like this. He has always felt that outsiders are worth wooing, and his family members are going to be wronged. Princess Zhuyi belongs to the wronged family members. Therefore, after telling Wei Zifu about this, she said Going to see Princess Yangshi, when Wei Zifu thought of this daughter, he immediately felt depressed. She waved her hand and said, "Go, go, I don't know who this stubborn girl looks like!"
