Section 296 The Fog (2nd Update)
Sent away King Zhenfan, Liu Che took the ginseng and secretly approached the area under the throne of the Son of Heaven in the palace, where the queen Luan's throne was located.
At this time, Queen Bo naturally has not yet arrived.
According to the custom, at this moment, Empress Bo should accompany the Queen Mother in the East Palace to meet the princes and kings who came to Chang'an to pay tribute.
However, the queen's cronies, Li Xin, are here.
Liu Che secretly called Li Xin to a corner, handed the old ginseng in his hand to Li Xin, and instructed: "Li Gong go and let someone find an old hen to kill, use this thing to stew soup, and serve it to the father, queen mother and grandmother after stewing!" ”
For Liu Che, the biggest effect of this ginseng is actually to use it as a sycophant.
After all, for rulers who crave a longer life, there's nothing better than a tonic like ginseng!
As for the other things that defend North Korea or something, it's just a convenient move.
After Li Xin took the order and left, Liu Che returned to his seat and sat down quietly.
Then, naturally, it is the annual Han Dynasty ceremony.
The whole process is extremely complicated and cumbersome, and it is basically carried out in accordance with the extremely complicated system of the Great Dynasty Ceremony set by Shusun Tong back then.
In order not to irrigate, I won't go into too much detail here.
All in all, when the entire Dachaoyi procedure was completed, Liu Che was almost tired.
In my heart, I despise the uncle and grandson who made up this set of etiquette in the brain.
At this time, the whole procedure just came to the final part of the French wine longevity.
As the crown prince, Liu Che was the first to be listed for a wine birthday.
The so-called French liquor. Nature is not your average winemaking.
Rather, it is a rare high-concentration sake brew in this era.
Liu Che didn't know that in this era when there was no concept of distillation. How the winemakers purify the alcohol.
However, at this moment, the French wine (Note 1) he was holding in his hand was almost crystal clear, and bursts of rich aroma of wine came to his nose, just smelling it, Liu Che was already a little drunk.
He bowed down and served the wine bottle. Walked forward, leaned over, and said, "Kid Che." I wish my father a long life, may I live forever, long live my father, long live long live! ”
"Flat!" Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said with a smile on his face: "Give the crown prince a seat!" ”
After Liu Che. Naturally, other imperial brothers who were still in Chang'an stepped forward.
Therefore. Liu Che rarely saw Liu Yu, the tenth son of the emperor who is only three years old now.
This little pig, at this time, did not have the atmosphere of a generation of male lords who beat the Huns, humiliated North Korea, and shot South Vietnam.
On the contrary, it is carved in pink and jade, and it looks very cute, especially a pair of beautiful little eyes, which makes people can't help but cherish it at a glance.
Moreover. He is the youngest prince of the day.
Therefore, Liu Yu appeared. It attracted the attention of many people.
Liu Che's eyes stared at him even more motionlessly.
To be precise, it was staring at the woman behind Liu Yu - Wang Huan!
I haven't seen her for a few months, and Wang Wan has changed very much.
At this time, this emperor, who was deeply favored in the past, and his sister Wang Erju occupied the emperor's concubine, which made Liu Che a little unrecognizable.
She was dressed very plainly, and it could even be seen that she was trying her best to keep a low profile.
Not to mention any silk on his body, even the gold and silver ornaments he used to wear on his body are gone.
On his face, he only put on a little light makeup, and he didn't even apply much fat powder, so he just stayed in a corner quietly.
Liu Che stared at this woman whose previous life had scared, frightened, and even made him powerless to resist at all.
But I don't want to relax at all!
It's really that this woman is too powerful, and her scheming is too terrifying!
In her previous life, Xiao Pig was able to take the position, and this woman should account for ninety percent of the credit!
In this life, if it weren't for Liu Che's prophetic foresight, coupled with the death of Tian Wei and Wang Xin, Liu Che wouldn't even dare to say that he would definitely be able to defeat her!
And at this moment, after this woman reappeared, it immediately aroused Liu Che's 120,000 vigilance and vigilance!
It's just that......
"What a smart woman......" Liu Che looked at the other party's expression and sighed in his heart.
Obviously, at this moment, Wang Wan has taken the safest and most low-key way to appear.
For a while, Liu Che couldn't find a place to speak!
As for whether this woman is really as she appears to be now, she is completely dead......
Hehe......
Even if it was true, Liu Che didn't dare to relax his vigilance against the other party! Whether it's out of political considerations or private feelings.
Liu Cheke didn't want to be the background of a big man's counterattack at all.
"Little pig, it's not that my brother is too cruel to you, if you want to blame it, blame you for being reincarnated in the royal family......" Liu Che looked at the lovely Liu Yu and said in his heart.
Then, he shifted his attention to the princess Liu Yan, the chief princess of the pavilion.
"It seems that I have to find a chance to have a good chat with the eldest princess and aunt, and if she has the opportunity, I will offer more beauties......" Liu Che thought in his heart.
Although instigating his aunt to pimp his father is indeed a bit undisciplined.
But Liu Che had realized as early as in his previous life, and he didn't care about right or wrong in politics, some were just success or failure!
"This is the sorrow of the royal family, life is a political zhì, and death is also a political zhì!" Liu Che sighed in his heart.
……………………
After the prince's birthday, it was the princes' kings and the kings of the foreign domains and their envoys.
In this process, Liu Che saw Liu Wu, the king of Chu, who was now on the cusp of the storm.
Liu Wu came to Chang'an accompanied by his prime minister Zhang Shang and Taifu Yue Yiwu.
According to the Han system, the princes and kings entered the palace to the emperor, and the prime minister, the prince and the ministers of more than 2,000 stone had to accompany him.
At this moment, Liu Wu led more than a dozen ministers under his command, served wine and longevity, and said: Chenwu, with a respectful attitude and decent manners, not at all like a person who is on the cusp of the storm and is criticized for incest.
On the contrary, very relaxed.
Liu Che looked at Liu Wu, the king of Chu, and thought about it in his heart.
Obviously, Liu Wu's behavior does not fit his current situation.
Before meeting Liu Wu, Liu Che thought about the typical possible reaction of this king of Chu, a famous mediocre talent in the history books, and a tiger father and dog.
However, the various predictions do not contain Liu Wu's expression of calmness at the moment.
In other words, this guy has something to rely on!
Liu Che lowered his head and took a sip of the French wine in his hand, which was slightly spicy, but not as intoxicating as he imagined.
It is estimated that this method of wine is brewed by clever methods, rather than simply distilled and purified.
After Liu Wu, the king of Chu, took the ministers to his birthday, and suddenly came to Liu Che, bowed down and asked: "The old minister comes to see his family!" ”
Liu Che hurriedly got up, bowed to the side, and saluted back: "Uncle Wang is polite, the kid doesn't dare to be it!" ”
The father of Liu Wu, the king of Chu, was Liu Yingke, the king of Chuyi, and his grandfather was Liu Bang's middle brother Liu Jiao.
But Liu Wu is much older than Liu Che's father.
He was at least sixty years old, and he looked a little old.
Looking at Liu Wu, Liu Che suddenly felt that he already knew where the other party's reliance came from.
Pinching his fingers and calculating, Liu Wu has been king for 20 years.
In twenty years, even if it is a pig, it can have many supporters.
Suppose, someone dares to detain or even kill Liu Wu in Chang'an.
Then, the entire Chu State must immediately rebel!
What's more, since he dares to come to Chang'an, Liu Wu must have the certainty of retreating.
It's just that, in this way, the whole situation suddenly turned into a fog.
Even Liu Che is difficult to see clearly who is singing, who is setting up the stage, and who is dancing with long sleeves, let alone guessing who is manipulating behind the scenes.
"It looks like I'm going to visit the old prime minister!" Liu Che thought in his heart.
At this moment, it is estimated that the only person who can clear the fog in front of him is the former prime minister who has been immersed in politics for decades and knows the power of the world well! (To be continued......)
PS: Note: There is no record of what the French liquor is in the historical records, but according to the annotations of later generations, it should be a liquor with a higher specification and the clear characteristics of the current liquor, and the alcohol concentration is higher than that of ordinary liquor.
For example, Sima Zhen commented: The ancients drank no more than three lords, and the monarchs and ministers worshipped......
The Northern Wei Dynasty wrote a book of Qi Min's key techniques: the French wine should be especially pretended, and the wine will be black if the rice is not clean.
After all, he is not a person of the times, and he can only rely on these records to make up and guess~
