This meal, Liu De ate was very boring.

It's not just because of the awkward quarrel with Su Ji, but more because the meal is really not good!

During the state funeral, don't even think about wine and meat, a bowl of corn, two plates of pickles and some seasonal fruits and vegetables, is all the content of this family feast.

"It would be nice to have a bowl of beef noodles, sprinkle some chili oil, and tsk...... The taste is indescribable......" Liu De put down the dishes and chopsticks, sighed, and remembered the food of the future generations.

However, Liu De also knows that a meal like this can already be regarded as a delicacy in this era.

In an ordinary well-off home, at the end of the year, you may not even be able to eat meat a few times.

Even the three meals of the wealthy businessmen are only a few things that are turned over and over, but they are more elaborate than those eaten by the common people.

So it's no wonder that Liu Detang's uncle Liu An, the king of Huainan, was not the right monarch and went to invent tofu......

In short, this family banquet gradually came to an end in Liu De's endless resentment.

Empress Dowager Dou, who was sitting on the top, had already put down her chopsticks and retreated into the apse with the support of the two maids.

Liu De saw that his cheap father glanced at the eunuchs left and right.

A eunuch nodded, walked down the steps in broken steps, and walked towards the seat of Liu De and the other princes.

"Your Majesty has a will, the princes Liu Rong, Liu De, and Liu Yan enter the apse to listen to the orders of the Queen Mother!" The eunuch first walked to the three brothers Liu Rong, Liu De, and Liu Yan to convey the will of the Son of Heaven.

Liu De, Liu Rong, and Liu Yan hurriedly got up and walked towards the apse.

Entering the dormitory of the Xuanshu Palace, another eunuch came to convey the will of the Empress Dowager Dou to the three brothers: "The Empress Dowager has an order, please wait here for the three highnesses first!" ”

The three brothers waited for a while, and another person walked in the dormitory.

But it is the fourth Liu Yu.

Liu ...... Liu...... I...... Ever seen...... Pass...... The three ......" Liu Yu hurriedly greeted the three brothers when he saw them, but he stammered.

Liu De saw that he was hard, and hurriedly took his hand and said, "Brother Huang, we know what you mean......"

"The Emperor...... Emperor...... Brother......" Liu Yu asked with hard bite, "You know...... Father's ...... Call us to ...... What is the origin of this...... Cause...... Is it? ”

Liu De nodded and said, "Probably because of our homework in the school......"

Liu Rong also said: "That's probably it......" He was older and knew more things, so he explained: "When the first emperor came, whenever a prince came to the court, the first emperor would summon the prince who was not crowned in Beijing to take the school homework and ask about the affairs of the world!" ”

This is probably a fine tradition of the Liu family, the emperor has to deal with state affairs, and there is not much time to supervise the princes' studies, so the examination school is used to spur the prince so that he will not be too hasty.

"Rong'er is right......" Empress Dowager Dou walked out of the inner hall with the help of two maids on crutches, and said as she walked: "It's just that this time it's a little different......

"Sons and daughters ask the emperor's grandmother!" Seeing Empress Dowager Dou Liu Rong taking the lead, the four brothers hurriedly knelt down to greet him.

"Get up...... Empress Dowager Dou, with the support of the maids, groped her way to the throne of the head, and at the same time ordered: "Come, give the four princes a seat!" ”

When he was young, a maid brought a table to sit on the table and asked Liu De and others to sit down.

After the four of them sat down and the maid returned, Empress Dowager Dou continued: "This time, the emperor specially instructed the mourning family to come and explain to the four of you, this examination is extraordinary, and the four of you must show real effort to serve the society!" ”

"No!" The four of them naturally responded.

It's just that after the answer, it is inevitable that there will be some muttering.

As the eldest brother, Liu Rong got up and asked, "Dare to ask the imperial grandmother for advice!" ”

Empress Dowager Dou pondered for a moment and then said leisurely: "The rumor that the emperor is going to cut the domain, I guess your brothers have heard about it!" ”

"This is going to cut the domain, the strong clan in the east will definitely be dissatisfied, then Wu Wang Bi relies on his high seniority, when the first emperor was there, he already dared not to go to Chang'an, this knife to cut the domain, the mourning family looked at King Wu is definitely going to rebel......" Empress Dowager Dou continued: "If he is against it, the Liu family's country will not be shaken by a Wu king...... It's just that the other princes have to stabilize and wait for the emperor to clean up Wu and Chu! ”

Liu De let out a long sigh when he heard it, he understood why in his previous life, Wu and Chu and the Seven Kingdoms fought together, and the entire Chang'an was in chaos.

Just looking at the words of this Empress Dowager Dou, you know that obviously, Cheap Daddy and Chao Cuo expected Wu Chu to rebel, but they obviously underestimated the scale of the rebellion.

Needless to say, as the master of the cutting of the domain, he will definitely use various rhetoric and means to reduce the possible danger of cutting the domain.

Now it seems that the cheap father believes Chao's wrong words, thinking that at most only Wu Chu rebels, and even only Wu Guo's family raises troops.

As a person who came over, Liu De couldn't help but shake his head.

After all, Cheap Daddy has only been an emperor for more than a year, and his experience is much more immature than that of the first emperor.

In fact, Liu De remembered very well that in addition to the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, there were many other princes who were ready to raise troops, and there were more people who rode the wall to watch.

For example, Liu An, the king of Huainan, actually participated in the rebellion, but Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work for three years, and Liu De, a cousin who likes literature, didn't raise troops yet, so he leaked the news and was put under house arrest by his prime minister.

There is also Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, who sent a loyal song to Chang'an, and at the same time looked at Jiaoxi, Jinan and other countries, and lost the military power of Qi to be controlled by the prime minister and guard of the pro-imperial court, otherwise, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms would become the Eight Kingdoms.

In the whole process of counterinsurgency, the one who really made the ass to the central side was Liu Wu, the king of Liang.

But......

If that's not the case, how can it seem that my letter is so powerful?

Liu De laughed in his heart.

On the surface, he listened to the Empress Dowager Dou's instructions with a stern face.

"This time the Empress Dowager died, and the King of Qi Liu Jianglu came to Chang'an for funeral, and he finally remembered the kindness of the first emperor and the empress dowager!" Empress Dowager Dou continued: "Since he is here, the emperor's meaning is that he should show him the means of my Han family's descendants, lest he return to Linzi and be bewitched by Wu Chu!" ”

Empress Dowager Dou said this.

Where did the four brothers dare to shirk, and they all responded: "No, follow the orders of the imperial grandmother!" ”

"Okay, the mourning family is tired, your brothers are ready to prepare for a while, the emperor will ask for advice......" After speaking, the Empress Dowager Dou got up and walked towards the bedroom with the support of the two maids.

As soon as Empress Dowager Dou left, Liu Yu stood up, looked at the three elder brothers anxiously, scratched his head and ears, obviously worried about something for a while.

When Liu De saw it, he couldn't bear to see him anxious, so he persuaded: "Brother Huang, don't panic, my father knows about you, and he won't embarrass you for a while, at most let you write some essays, it's ...... hurt the three of us."

Only then did Liu Yu calm down.

Liu De turned around and saw Liu Rong who was closing his eyes and recuperating, his heart moved, and he deliberately asked, "Brother Huang seems to be in his chest, right?" ”

Liu Rong smiled and said a little coldly: "I've read some books these days, so I'm a little prepared!" ”

"Hehe......" Liu De laughed, he didn't understand, Liu Rong must have come prepared, maybe, a few days in advance, the cheap dad gave him a vaccination.

After all, he is the eldest son of the emperor and is the focus.

It's just that......

Liu De lowered his head, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and laughed.

If you want to grab the crown prince's position, tonight's school examination is undoubtedly a key.

………………………………

Thank you for the correction of the ETET brothers, well, I am indeed confused, the queen can't call herself mourning, and she must change it in the future, but is it reasonable to call the queen His Majesty?

There has never been a record of this in the literature of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and most of the queens I have seen appear in the historical materials by calling themselves I, me, concubines or something, and others are directly referred to as Queen X.
