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

The prosperous feast of the upper class also has great benefits for the middle and lower classes. At least business has become prosperous again.Liu Che's complaint order before, in addition, the vehicle and boat tax, and a series of other taxes really made those businessmen complain so much that the business as a whole became depressed.Now that the upper class has a huge demand for luxury goods, the Shaofu must not be able to supply them. After all, the Shaofu has to supply the needs of the royal family and even the army. Therefore, it is impossible to mobilize too many resources to supply the upper class. A handful of people who can afford it will do. As for the middle and lower classes, you have to figure out a way for yourself!Then, some merchants resurfaced!Although the imperial court levies taxes, the profits of these luxuries are very high. Even if the imperial court levies taxes, there are still high profits. Therefore, more and more people participate in it, even some ordinary businessmen can Take a share.They are also very flexible in their minds. The alchemists who were expelled by Liu Che before were directly invited back by those businessmen, and they were asked to research what the gods ate, drank, lived, and used, and then they would find someone to brag about. Just like the clouds come.

Liu Che was confused by this strange development. He pondered for a long time, then looked at Sang Hongyang: "Sang Qing, tell me, is Princess Luoyi intentional or unintentional?"

Sang Hongyang has always been conceited, but he doesn't think a princess can have such a long-term vision. Of course, everyone knows that Liu Che loves Princess Luoyi, so he bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, no matter whether the princess has intentions or not, in short, Your Highness is blessed." Talent is real, if it weren't for Her Royal Highness's sudden whim, it would be difficult to have the recent grand occasion!"

When Liu Che heard it, he was immediately happy: "That's right, this princess of Luoyi is indeed a blessed person!" Feng Yu's method is also very popular in the palace.For example, Mrs. Zheng held a special session of "The Songs of Chu", and dressed the maids in the palace as the gods in the Songs of Chu. It was to please Liu Che. Liu Che obviously liked this routine very much. Although he didn't favor Mrs. Zheng, he also favored several maids in Mrs. Zheng's palace, which was quite an addiction.Afterwards, this kind of trick became popular in the palace. With such jewels in front of her, it was impossible for Mrs. Gou Yi to use that little trick to tempt Liu Che.

Now that he has money, Liu Che began to feel restless again, so he decided to make another east tour to Fengchan, so that the people of the Han family along the way could get the favor of himself as the emperor.

Once Liu Che made up his mind, there was nothing anyone could do about it. Like before, he thought that Huo Qubing had been sealed off as a wolf, and he himself, the emperor, could not be left behind, so he went to visit Mount Tai, although he didn't look like the first emperor. , encountered various accidents, but Huo Shan, whom he had placed high hopes on, died.Liu Che has always felt that there is a conspiracy here. After all, everyone knows that he wants to train the next champion, but no matter whether it is the military or the peace faction, they probably don't want a new champion to appear. After all, with other generals In comparison, Huo Qubing, who was born out of nowhere, is like the sun turning into the sky, comparing them to the mud, one Huo Qubing is already their misfortune, and another one, wouldn't it be more sad?

In fact, Liu Che was completely paranoid. Huo Shan was still young, and he had to travel all the way with Liu Che.But Liu Che almost never reflects on his own mistakes. In his heart, he is not at fault, and those who are at fault are others. Therefore, Huo Shan's death was caused by someone trying to confront him, and he must have done nothing wrong. Wrong, so, he turned around and made excuses, and cleaned up a few officials who he thought were suspicious.However, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Feng Chan, so he wanted to tour the East when he was free, especially now that he had money again, he couldn't stay any longer.

Soon, Liu Che announced in the court hall that he would go to the East again to visit Fengchan. Except for a few people who dissuaded him, everyone else cheered and encouraged.Of course they were willing to cheer. Every time Liu Che toured the East, he was actually throwing money away, rewarding wine and food titles everywhere, and reducing or exempting taxes.In fact, it is seldom the people at the bottom who can really benefit, but the local officials, especially the rich.Officials can take advantage of the opportunity to flatter and curry favor, and the rich can profit from it. On the one hand, even if it is just like the team on the east tour, it is a lot of money to sell food and drinks. On the other hand, most of the things Liu Che rewarded fall into the hands of these people. , and what's more, they can take advantage of this to levy corvee and apportion it downwards, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.Under such circumstances, everyone naturally wished that Liu Che would tour the east every year and enshrine Zen every year.

It was difficult for Liu Che to understand the pain at the bottom. Seeing that the officials were all cheering, he naturally felt that this matter was no problem, and naturally felt that he was wise and mighty, so he immediately ordered people to make intensive preparations.

Chen Ajiao is also very happy to go out now. As soon as she heard that Liu Che was going on an east tour, she ordered someone to send a message, saying that she and her daughter would also go!Liu Che hesitated for a while, but finally agreed. Of course, Chen Ajiao could only travel with her as an honorary lord, but Chen Ajiao didn't care about it. If she hadn't had a daughter with Liu Che, she really felt that she was It should have had nothing to do with Liu Che long ago.As the lord, she is an independent aristocratic woman, and if she is a deposed empress who was not formally canonized later, she is Liu Che's vassal, isn't that a trap!

There is nothing to say about Fengyu. She is a princess, and there is no obstacle to following her on tour. However, let alone a princess before, even the prince had no chance, but now she is wearing Princess Luoyi, and the whole group suddenly He became more and more aware of the princess's favor.

Liu Che wanted to go on tour, so naturally he wanted the prince to oversee the country. This also confused many people. They said that Liu Che was satisfied with the prince, but they often reprimanded him. Very happy.In particular, Liu Che has long played the prime minister as a decoration. In the years since Liu Che came to power, there have been several prime ministers who have been convicted and killed. The prime minister, those who are qualified to sit in this position can't wait to bury themselves directly, so as not to be unlucky not only for themselves, but also for their descendants.

So, in the end, the so-called prime minister no longer had the ability to spit on the emperor's face like Cao Shen before, and everyone became responders. In short, what Liu Che said and what the prime minister did, naturally the prime minister stayed in Beijing He does not have the ability and courage to check and balance the prince, so it can be said that although not all government affairs will be entrusted to the prince, it is almost the same!

However, that being said, it is impossible for a person like Liu Che to completely delegate power. Things as important as Tiger Talismans should be kept by his side. Really important national events will only be sent to the convoy of the Eastern Tour. Let Liu Che decide.

When Wei Zifu knew that Chen Ajiao was able to travel with her car, she felt as if she had been fished out of a vinegar vat. Fortunately, she was still reasonable, and in the end she could only pretend that nothing happened. Chen Ajiao was still a little worried before, fearing that one day, Chen Ajiao would come back and sit back in the Jiaofang Palace.But now, after she understood Chen Ajiao's demeanor, she was only envious.After Chen Ajiao looked away, she was a truly free and easy person. Now she really does whatever she wants, and she can do whatever she wants. On the contrary, she is herself. shackles.In the final analysis, what I want is too much, but Chen Ajiao loses the position of queen, and she can still be the lord. If she loses this position, she will have nothing.

Therefore, when Wei Shao'er ran to the palace and said something in his ear, Wei Zifu resolutely stopped Wei Shao'er.Wei Shao'er is not the stupidest among her brothers and sisters, but she is by no means smart. She used to have a pretty face, but now she doesn't even have that.If it weren't for Chen Zhang's own lack of ability, everything had to rely on the Wei family, and Wei Shao'er's position with Chen Zhang would be worrying.After all, a beautiful straw bag can be used as a vase, and a withered straw bag as a decoration is too annoying.

Wei Zifu took some belongings and sent the sister away, and then he became very tired.Their mother and son are burdened with the fate of too many people. As Wei Qing's health deteriorates, no one knows how many years he can last. In the past, Wei Qing's family would go to Wei Qing for any troubles, but now everyone comes to find Wei Zifu , Wei Zifu immediately knew what kind of pressure Wei Qing had been facing for so many years.The essence of several generations of the Wei family has fallen to Wei Zifu, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. The other people, mediocrity is fine, but the poor are getting rich, and they all don’t know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and they don’t realize Wei Qing at all. What kind of pressure He Wei Zifu was under, he just felt that if a general, a queen, and a prince were born in the family, everything would be worry-free and he could enjoy the glory and wealth.

Wei Qing originally wanted to place these relatives in his own fief. After all, even if they bullied men and women in the fief, Wei Qing's people would help clean up the mess.Therefore, it is impossible for them to stay in the fief honestly and run to Chang'an if they have a chance.In addition, Wei Shaoer, who was not sure about the situation, probably thought that being in Chang'an was the same as being in the countryside, and that whoever had a large family would have weight in his words.If this is the case, wouldn’t the Lu family be more powerful than the current Wei family? At that time, all the princes and kings had to marry Lu’s daughter as queen, and the Lu family and their in-laws occupied half of the court, so what happened in the end? ?How many other people can do it at least?And what about the Wei family?The Dou family is noble not because there is a queen, but because there is a queen mother, and I am not the queen mother!

Of course, envy is envy, and she would definitely not be happy to let Wei Zifu change with Chen Ajiao. After all, in her opinion, Chen Ajiao is going downhill, and Liu Che can pamper her when she is alive. What else can I do with an embarrassing identity?

Wei Zifu felt that his current competitor was actually Mrs. Zheng. No matter how Mrs. Wang was back then, Liu Hong was already dead. Mrs. Wang lost this hope and soon became depressed. buried.And the most favored Mrs. Li is dead, so even if the child she left behind can still get some favor from Liu Che, but the brother who can't stand Mrs. Li is a scam.Liu Che put in a lot of effort on Li Guangli, but in the end, Li Guangli was no match for him, and in the end he only got the title of General of the Second Division.And this title is actually quite a joke, after all, this guy was really forced to have no other way back then, so he captured a city in the Western Regions and got this position.Therefore, even in the military, Li Guangli's reputation and status are still not very good, especially since this one is also from a foreign relative. Compared with Wei Qing, he is too hip!

Of course, Li Guangli himself didn't think so. He felt that if Wei Qing was killed, he would be the No. It's not that Li Guangli doesn't dare to make mistakes now, Liu Che really wants to let this cheap brother-in-law go, so as not to insult the good impression Mrs. Li left on him.

Wei Zifu didn't care about those princes, but Mrs. Zheng was different. Although she was always respectful to Jiaofangdian, the family was always respectful as foreign relatives. No one in the Zheng family held any important positions in the court. But it doesn't mean that the Zheng family has no influence.In fact, the Zheng family has a very good relationship with the Da Nong Ling. After all, they are all businessmen. The Zheng family can't wait to show their approval of Liu Che's series of policies against businessmen.Because they have broken away from the merchant class and have become gentry, then naturally they have to cut off from the merchant class.Of course, the division on the position belongs to the division on the position, but the interests belong to the interests.The Zheng family said it was a noble family, and they stopped doing business in name, but in reality, how could this be possible!For example, Sang Hongyang, who became an official during the reign of Emperor Jing, followed Liu Che for many years, although he was only a servant for a long time, but he stayed by Liu Che's side, he was regarded as a close minister of the emperor, did the Sang family get any benefits?Even, because of Sang Hongyang, they can always stand in the right line at critical moments. Therefore, the family property has been rising steadily all the time, and now they seem to be a wealthy family.The same is true for the Zheng family. Although Mrs. Zheng is not favored now, she still has two nephews, who will be two princes and kings in the future. Who would offend the uncles of the two princes and kings?

Although Mrs. Zheng said that she didn't show her ambition at all in normal times, Wei Zifu would not believe that Mrs. Zheng had no ambitions. If she really had no ambitions, why didn't Liu Xianfeng be crowned king?And now at this age, old and decrepit, he still tried his best to please Liu Che. This time, he almost wanted Liu Che to take Liu Xian on a tour. Can't find a reason for knocking.

In fact, Mrs. Zheng was far less calm than Wei Zifu thought. She thought it seemed that during this east tour, Liu Che met Mrs. Gouyi, and her heart was really scratching her heart, and she was very anxious.

Chen Ajiao didn't know about Mrs. Gouyi's existence. She had never been out of Guanzhong in her life. Now that she has the opportunity to come out to play, she is really curious about everything!She has also paid attention to exercise these years, and has maintained a good body. In addition, Liu Che himself likes to enjoy himself, so the walking speed on the road is not very fast, and the journey is still comfortable.Everyone knows Liu Che's ecstatic personality. The officials along the way dare not reveal any bad things. They also tried their best to create some auspiciousness to prove that Liu Che is the emperor with destiny, so even God has to give face. .If anyone made Liu Che unhappy at this time, then Liu Che would dare to make everyone unhappy with him.

Feng Yu is actually not that interested in the original ecological scenery at this time. During this journey, Feng Yu, who has seen the scenery of the prosperous age, has already realized that Liu Che has spent a lot of people's energy in these years, and there have actually been a lot of opposition and even resistance from the people. the sound of.The folk customs of the Han Dynasty are tough, and the things at the end of the Qin Dynasty are actually not very far away. The saying that "princes and generals are better than each other" has been circulating among the people, and even everyone in the old Liu family actually admits that Liu Bang has a destiny. After all, from the mere pavilion chief Well, within a few years of the incident, Liu Bang won the world. Except for the destiny, he dare not write like this!But no one said how many years old Liu's family's destiny was!Now that Liu Che is tossing around in various schools, it was okay at first, but now everyone has begun to miss the two emperors, Wen Jing!Although Emperor Xiaojing was alive, there was also the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, but it didn't last long. As a result, even though the war didn't happen in the country, many more people died than at that time!Some folks even think that this is no different from the first emperor!This is also the reason why Liu Che felt threatened by Liu Ju more and more later, because many people, like the benevolent heir Fusu who expected to inherit the throne of the First Emperor in the Qin Dynasty, expressed themselves clearly in Liu Ju After the stance of the peace faction, the war-weary people among the people really began to hope that Liu Che would die quickly and let Liu Ju ascend the throne instead, so that everyone could breathe a sigh of relief.

However, it is useless to pour cold water on Liu Che at this moment, he is immersed in his martial art and martial arts, and he is not willing to open his eyes to see the reality at all.And those who benefited from Liu Che's great success also didn't want Liu Che to suddenly wake up. No matter who pierced the emperor's new clothes, they would be hit like a storm.Feng Yu has seen too many tragedies, not to mention, many things cannot be solved by her at all, even if Liu Che is aware of this, so what can be done?For a person like Liu Che, if he doesn't deserve that, can he admit his mistake?He only felt that this was a temporary pain, as long as the Huns were dealt with, he would naturally be able to calmly cultivate his health and rest.

"Ashu, are you tired?" After riding the horse for a while, Chen Ajiao returned to the carriage dripping with sweat, seeing Feng Yu's dispirited look, she couldn't help asking.

Feng Yu nodded and said, "It's really tiring to ride a carriage, when can I get there!"

Seeing Fengyu's appearance, Chen Ajiao couldn't help but feel distressed: "This journey is exhausting, it is indeed tiring, why don't you go and tell your father, let's find a place to rest for a few days, and then go slowly? "

Feng Yu shook her head and said, "Forget it, it doesn't have to be a disappointment! When we get to Mount Tai, Mom, let's have fun for a few days!"

Chen Ajiao thought about it, but she was still a little worried: "Don't be brave, if you can't, even if we rest on the spot, and then visit the nearest vassal state to stay for a while!" Be exact.

Seeing Chen Ajiao like this, Feng Yu still told the truth: "Mother, my daughter has been watching all the way these days, Guanzhong is fine, but after leaving Guanzhong, I found that some farmlands are deserted, so I am a little worried!"

Chen Ajiao was taken aback. She had never been wronged since she was a child. It can be said that she was heartless at one time. She used to be full of Liu Che. For him, she did all sorts of messy things. Now that she thinks about it, she feels It's so stupid, I can't even read the eyes.However, worrying about the country and the people really has nothing to do with Chen Ajiao. After such a calculation, Chen Ajiao felt that she really couldn't be a qualified queen. For example, her grandmother was originally a folk woman. Since I spin and weave in the palace, I also know the situation of the people very well, and I have always been considerate of the lives of the common people.But let alone Chen Ajiao, even Mrs. Dou doesn't have this state of mind. After all, she has different backgrounds and different experiences, so it is difficult to develop empathy.That's why there is the saying "why not eat minced meat". After all, for an emperor who doesn't understand the folk situation, nothing is worse than minced meat!

Now it turns out that this daughter of her family has been raised pampered since she was a child, but she has such a keen eye and a heart that cares about the country and the people, which makes Chen Ajiao a little surprised.She suddenly sighed, touched Feng Yu's head, and sighed: "I used to think that you are like me, Ashu, but now you look more like your grandmother! If my grandmother saw you, she would definitely like you very much." !"

Feng Yu didn't expect Chen Ajiao to mention Queen Mother Dou, and then she heard Chen Ajiao continue to say: "Although you have seen it, but these words, don't talk nonsense to outsiders, your father has always been stubborn, and he only thinks that he is far superior to his father and grandfather. , I can’t listen to these words! If you are a courtier, you can still have a reputation for being upright, but you are just a princess, and other things are fine. If you interrupt these things, it will be a disaster!"

Chen Ajiao thought that no one heard what the mother and daughter said, but she didn't expect that not far away, a man on a horse had already heard Chen Ajiao's words.
