Chapter Nine

"The Han Dynasty inherited the ills of the hundred kings. Emperor Gaozu corrected the chaos and rectified the people. As for the affairs of ancient rituals and literature, there were still many things to be missing. Xiaowu was first established, and he abolished all schools of thought and wrote the "Six Classics". He then consulted the country and praised his handsome men and made great contributions to him. He promoted the Taixue, cultivated suburban sacrifices, corrected the calendar, coordinated the music, composed poetry and music, built feudal temples, ceremonial gods, and promoted the Zhou Dynasty, and ordered articles to be described. The descendants were able to follow the Hongye, and had the style of the three generations. Just like Emperor Wu's grand talents and did not change the literature, Jing was respectful and frugal to help the people. Although the poems and the Book of Books are called, what is the best! "

——"Book of Han-Emperor Wu's Chronicle Sixth"

When Chen Jiao, who was in Pengcheng, was living her life quietly in the Li family, there was a change in Chang'an City because of Chen Wu's death. Just like the surging tide covered by the originally calm lake, everything was put on the surface because of Chen Wu's stone. Chen Wu's death gave Liu Piao a chance. As her eldest princess, Liu Che naturally had to come to pay homage to her husband's funeral.

Liu Piao, who was dressed in plain clothes, looked at her nephew in front of her, and smiled on her face covered by her long hanging hair. When she returned the gift to Liu Che as a vain, she grabbed Liu Che's hand and said in pain: "Your Majesty, I know that my ministers and daughters have lost their favor, and I must spend my life in Changmen Palace in the future. However, I would like to ask Your Majesty to remember that today is her father's funeral, and let her go out to the palace to worship once, with the affection of the whole father and daughter. Aunt, please!"

Liu Che forced his aunt to bow to the great ceremony and said sadly: "Auntie doesn't have to do this. I and Jiao feel uncomfortable when my uncle passed away. The day before yesterday, Jiao sent someone from Changmen Palace to send a message saying that she was sad about her father's death and she couldn't afford it. She was afraid that she would not meet her father again in this life, so she begged me to let my aunt come to the palace to see her. Aunt, after this matter, I will order someone to pick you up to Changmen Palace, mother and daughter meet and express their feelings to each other!"

When Liu Piao heard Liu Che say the four words "tell each other's hearts" heavily, he knew what he meant. He no longer got entangled, but just covered his tears and cried: "My poor child!"

Princess Guantao Liu Piao is naturally familiar with the Changmen Palace. This is her garden, but because Liu Che likes it and often comes to visit, she takes the initiative to offer it to her. However, things in the world are unpredictable, and the Changmen Palace has become the last destination for Liu Che to give her daughter. This is a satire.

Looking at the familiar mountains, rivers, flowers and birds in front of you, and then looking at the Taiwei Mansion staff lined up everywhere, Liu Piao sighed from his heart. In any case, we must solve everything today.

When she walked into the main hall of Changmen Palace, she saw the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, who was holding the throne in one hand, waiting for her. Liu Piao took a deep breath and asked, "Cheer, is Ah Jiao dead?"

"If I say yes, will my aunt believe it?" Liu Che turned his head and looked at Princess Guantao in front of him.

"I don't believe it. Even if you have this intention, you won't do it now." Liu Piao certainly doesn't believe it. It's one thing to depose the queen, and killing the former queen with royal blood is another thing. Now that the Han family's kings are in full swing, Liu Che will not let this handle fall into their hands no matter how anxious they are.

"As long as my aunt knows me." Liu Che smiled, "Today, Cheer asked her to have a good chat with her. Cheer thought her aunt was one of the few reasonable people in our Liu family's royal family."

He walked to the edge of the phoenix-mouthed copper furnace, twisted the phoenix-mouthed, and the authentic exit was revealed. "This aunt should be familiar with it, right?"

There was no unnatural expression on Liu Piao's face. She looked directly at Liu Che calmly.

"Giao probably used this tunnel to leave. Che'er didn't send anyone to chase her, so when my aunt asked Che'er about her life and death, Che'er could only say, I don't know." Liu Che closed the tunnel indifferently, walked to Princess Guantao and asked, "Aunt, how did Che'er do this? "

Liu Piao found out where his beloved daughter was. Looking at the nephew in front of him who had deceived him for several months, he laughed furiously, "There is a bird that stops in the hills of the south. It has no wings for three years, and it does not fly or sing. Even if it does not fly, it will soar into the sky; even if it does not sound, it will be astonishing."

"Haha--" Liu Che's laughter resounded throughout the Changmen Palace. He knew that Liu Piao was using the story of King Zhuang of Chu to describe his strong oppressed by Empress Dowager Dou when he first succeeded to the throne. Now he can make a big splash. "Aunt, Che'er ascended the throne, and his aunt made great contributions. Apart from Li Ji, deposed the crown prince, and seized the throne, these are all the credits of my aunt. My mother never forgot this, and Che'er dared not forget it."

Liu Piao did not interrupt, but just looked at his nephew in front of him coldly and said nothing.

"But aunt, do you know the way of the emperor?" Liu Che was not unhappy because of Liu Piao's attitude, but continued to talk to himself, "It's just a word of check and balance. So, if I give birth to a prince with a noble status as Jiao, what else can I grant? If I improve the status of the Chen family, my son's throne is afraid it will be very difficult?"

"Empress Gao, Empress Wu, and Empress Dou both rose from poverty." There was no emotional fluctuation in Liu Piao's voice. "How could you know that the Wei family that Your Majesty has supported today is not a future problem? Wei Qing's talent is probably far above his aunt and his sons?"

"Yes, Wei Qing is more talented than all your cousins. But because of this, I use him. A talented relative, if he wants to stretch his talents, he must rely on me. Otherwise, who else in the court dares to promote him? So he must always rely on me to survive. Moreover, I am not the last emperor, but the last emperor is kind, so I am different. Before I die, I will naturally remove the scepter from the prince one by one."

Only these words changed Liu Piao's face slightly.

"In my opinion, the most wrong thing Emperor Gaozu did was not issued an order to be buried with Empress Gao. If Emperor Gaozu issued an imperial edict, how could the rebellion of Lu? What do you think, aunt?"

"Che'er, I mistakenly regard Hu'er as a cat, but my aunt thought it wrong." Liu Piao seemed to have truly seen the true face of his nephew. "Aunt thought you just had the ambitions of Emperor Gaozu, but he didn't want to be so familiar with the ruthlessness of King Ying Zheng of Qin."

"My nephew just wants to tell my aunt that she remembers her great kindness. But in the end, my nephew will not let go of those who may be unfavorable to the future prince. So, please forgive me and let my cousin down the mercy." Liu Che did not comment on Liu Piao's evaluation to him.

"Then, I ask you, Jiaojiao has never been pregnant. Did you do it on purpose?" After hearing all this, Liu Piao had a terrible guess.

"Aunt, what can you do if you know all this?" Liu Che said with a smile, "Everything is over. Gillian will not come back anymore."

"You. For twelve years, you didn't let her give birth to children for you. Now that you are nearing age, aren't you afraid of having no children to be a heir?"

"I inherited the will of heaven and became the master of the world. I believe that my descendants will never be weak." Liu Che raised his eyebrows, full of confidence.

"Okay, what a 'I inherited my destiny and became the master of the world'." Liu Piao suddenly stopped being angry and laughed at his nephew in front of him, "Then today you tell me everything, what do you want?"

"I want to make an agreement with my aunt." Liu Che finally expressed his true purpose, "I can promise that no matter what the future holds, the Tangyi Marquis Mansion will never be destroyed. If the Chen family has the ability in the future, I will use it more. The only exchange condition is, aunt, you must let go. How about it?"

Liu Piao understood that this was warning her not to interfere in the court again.

"Of course, my aunt can refuse to agree. I just hope my aunt will think clearly that I will not do anything to you today, but it is not impossible."

Liu Piao closed his eyes and knew that he could no longer have hope of victory in this round of struggle. Liu Che did not directly eliminate her, and he did not do it. She was in a high position for many years, and neither Emperor Wen nor Emperor Jing had stopped her from interfering in the government affairs. In addition to the influence of her husband's family, she had complex relationships between the court and the vassal states. Now Liu Che is clearly going to deal with the princes and kings. If she touched her at this time, people would inevitably be turbulent, which might revive the rebellion of Wu and Chu. Therefore, Liu Che was unwilling to touch her unless he had no choice.

However, if she refused to accept Liu Che's suggestion of retreating bravely, then Liu Che would probably attack her. For a marquis who had no military power, the eldest princess, who could only take her life with a group of Qimen Army. Although she had to face many after-disaster problems afterwards, for Liu Che, it was much better than her continuing to retain influence in the court and offend his supreme authority.

Of course she would not be so stupid that she would expect to have any good results when she ran to the princes and kings. The princes who were unfaithful and virtuous were impossible to defeat the imperial army. She remembered clearly how the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu failed back then. Moreover, this nephew would never do something unsure. Since everything was made clear today, I am afraid that if she did not agree, Changmen Palace would have blood splattered five steps.

"Okay, I agree. But your promise must be done." Liu Piao now finally realized the mood of Emperor Gaozu when he said, "People are the slaughter, I am the fish." She only hopes that Liu Che can fulfill his promise.

"You don't joke, aunt, don't worry." Liu Che's mouth raised and showed a satisfied smile. In fact, although he could indeed take tough measures against this aunt. However, this method would seriously damage his vitality, and the conquest of the Huns he planned to carry out was probably far away, which he would never tolerate; secondly, this aunt helped him from an ordinary prince to the position of crown prince, and he still had a little respect for her in his heart. Since he could solve all this peacefully, why not do it?

...

"What kind of wife do you want to marry in the future?" A beautiful woman in a vermilion dress led a little boy and walked through the flowers full of autumn chrysanthemums. The child was wearing a small-trumpet curved hem dress made of diamond geometric brocade, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, looking very cute.

When the child heard the question, he looked up at the mother in front of him and the little girl holding in her hand, pointed at the girl and said, "Well... like Sister Gillian."

"Oh!" The woman who asked the question obviously did not expect to get such an answer, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"If I can marry Sister Jiao as my wife, I will build a big golden house for her to live in." The little boy continued as if he was afraid that the woman would not believe it.

"Really? Then you have to keep your word." The woman lowered her body and said to the boy, then looked up to the woman in front of her and said, "Sister Wang, it seems that we are really destined to be together."

"What does sister mean?"

"I want to betroth Gillian to Zhu'er, but I don't know if you, a mother-in-law, agree."

"Good is not only smart, but also caring and caring. My little sister doesn't agree. I also want to thank my sister for looking down on my son."

"Every child as young as Yu'er knows that our Gillian is good, unlike some people..."

"That's because they don't have any vision. Sister, don't be angry about those who are waiting..."

The conversation between the two adults gradually faded away, leaving only two children surrounded by palace maids, looking at each other. Seeing the mothers leaving, the very beautiful little girl jumped to the boy, grabbed his ear, and said, "Okay, yao, who taught you these sweet words?"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" The boy's facial features were wrinkled together in pain, and he shouted, "Be gentle, what is sweet words."

"Also pretended, it was what you said just now. My mother said that when a man said something to make a woman happy, it was just a sweet word!" The girl let go of her hand, raised her mouth, and said, describing her very cute.

"Then..." the boy said with his eyes moving, "Do you feel very happy?"

"Who said that!" The little girl who was told about the concern suddenly blushed, and she shouted, "I haven't!"

"Haha, it's obviously. Sister Gillian, your face is red."

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

...

"Sister, sister, wake up!"

Chen Jiao was woken up from her sleep, opened her eyes foolishly, and found that her cheeks were already full of tears.

"Did my sister have any sad dreams? How could she cry like this?" Zhang Cui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her wake up. Today, Chen Jiao got up later than usual, and she was worried, so she came to see it in person, but found that she was sleeping in bed with great uneasy sleep and kept crying.

"I dreamed of hiding a sweet girl in the golden house." Chen Jiao, who had not yet woken up from her dream, said blankly.

"What?" Zhang Cui was also stunned. At that time, the story of Emperor Wu of Han hiding his beauty in the golden house had already spread all over the world, so she naturally knew it.

"It's nothing, what's the matter with me?" Chen Jiao woke up immediately after hearing Zhang Cui's inquiry and said hurriedly.

"It's time to get up, little girl, you're getting up late today." She didn't say that, and Zhang Cui naturally pretended to be confused and said in agreement, "Get up and wash up quickly, my sister is waiting for you outside."

"Well, sister, go slowly, Ayu, please help me." Chen Jiao said.

After everyone left, she held her cheek and thought, why did she have such a dream? It was clearly the memory of Gillian.
