The princes and kings all obeyed, but they were not in a hurry to leave.

It's not that they don't want to leave, it's just that they don't dare to leave without the Queen Mother's order.

Except for King Qi, King Yan and Prince Chu, the other kings did not have residences in Chang'an. Of course, they could also live in the palace. After thinking about it again and again, they came to the Tang Palace together and planned to stay here. The reason why they lived in Tang Dynasty was

The main reason is that being close to the King of Tang will not cause trouble.

Liu Chang'a's mansion is probably the safest place in Chang'an, even safer than Xuanshi Palace. After all, the guards at Xuanshi Palace would not dare to stop the Queen Mother's attendants, and the attendants who were particularly rude to Liu Hui and the others a few days ago met Tang

The king's family members all had to smile and say hello. After all, they all knew that King Tang was the most defensive and the most violent. Even if King Tang killed them, the Queen Mother might not punish him...at most she would give him a few sticks.

Seeing Liu Chang's luxurious mansion, his servants who dared to confront the Queen Mother's attendants, the second-generation meritorious disciples who came in and out of the mansion, and the envoys who came from time to time to convey various news, several

The king just feels tired. We are all princes and kings. Why is there such a big gap in treatment?

Regarding these behaviors in the Tang Palace, if they did any of them, they would go drinking.

Although they all agreed to the Queen Mother's request, it still depends on the wishes of the ministers at home. Who knows whether they will be used as chickens to scare monkeys?

Fortunately, Chang Liu is still safe here. Chang Liu sat proudly on the upper position, looked at the brothers on the left and right, and said: "Brothers, I am hosting a banquet today, but I actually have important matters to discuss with you."

"The first thing is the new policy of the temple."

Liu Chang said seriously: "This matter may not be a bad thing for us."

"In the Tang Dynasty, I mostly recruited local scholars as officials. Officials in different places colluded with each other to deceive the superiors and subordinates. Officials in the countryside also openly colluded with the lofty sentiments to oppress the people... This is a harm. In addition, in the middle of the country,

If the ministers are not replaced, we are afraid that our heirs will be used to rebel in the future. We are strong, but there will always be unhealthy heirs!"

"Nowadays, all the countries are in charge of their own affairs. When they attacked the Xiongnu before, there were many conflicts among the coalition forces. The government orders and currencies were different, and the ministers of the countries were hostile to each other. For a long time, within a hundred years, it was another Spring and Autumn Period.

Troubled times! The tribes outside the Great Wall have been ruled by the Xiongnu. If the Central Plains is still in troubled times, the Xiongnu can be divided and defeated, and our descendants will wear Zuojun!"

When Liu Chang began to talk about these things seriously, all the kings were a little surprised.

Liu Ruyi looked at Liu Chang blankly and squeezed his hand. Did Chang really say these words?

Liu Chang looked at everyone with a smile and said: "We are all guarding various places for the emperor. The Han Dynasty all needs our support, but we can't do things that harm the world for the sake of power. As for the Queen Mother's policy, I don't care.

I have read it in detail... The three-year rotation is obviously unreasonable. I think it can be a five-year rotation, divided into domestic rotation and foreign rotation... Different official positions have different policies."

"In addition, there is also the matter of meeting Na Jin. I also think it is a bit too frequent. It can be changed to two or three years."

"I know what you are thinking, brothers. In the local area, some villains are spreading rumors, claiming that the Queen Mother is claiming to be the emperor, and trying to slander the Emperor... What's worse, they say that the Lu family will replace the Liu family! This is all deliberately trying to drive a wedge between us. I think Let us fight in the same room so that they can profit from it!"

"Your Majesty is weak and sick. The Queen Mother helps and supports you in matters concerning the temple... This is definitely not what the villain said. Your Majesty is the son of the Queen Mother, how can you murder someone?!"

"As for the Lu family matter, not long ago, I caught several of the Lu family's children who committed crimes and sent them to the imperial court. They have all been punished!"

"Brothers, you must trust your relatives and not trust those villains with ulterior motives... You must consider the world of Han Dynasty, not your own power... If there are any violators... I will commit suicide!!!"

Liu Chang's face instantly became serious.

"I am willing to obey the order of the King of Tang!"

Liu Heng took the lead, and the others hurriedly expressed their stance.

Liu Chang laughed again and said: "The most important thing now is the matter of the ministers in the country. There is no need for brothers to worry about this matter. I can help you solve it!"

"I wonder what your Majesty is going to do?"

"It's very simple. Let them obey the orders of the temple. If they don't obey, they will be sent to see my father."

.......

After changing her clothes, Ruyi looked at Liu Heng sitting beside him and said, "Eldest brother has really grown up!"

"oh?"

"I have always regarded him as the little guy back then. Today he shocked me... Oh, he is just a bit too cruel. He will kill him whenever he wants..."

Liu Heng shook his head, "Only by doing this can we avoid more casualties."

"I really got to know my eldest brother again today... When I was his age, I thought about how to rule the country of Zhao all day long. I was stupid and didn't know anything... This guy has grown up really well. It's so fast!" Ruyi shook his head and sighed: "But if he does this, I'm afraid it will arouse the hostility of the scholars in the world."

"When my father humiliated Zhang Ao, his ministers wanted to cause trouble and murder my father."

"Now my eldest brother has humiliated and offended too many people..."

Listening to Liu Ruyi's words, Liu Heng squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully: "That's why the New Deal is needed."

"It's also difficult to grow up..."

"Fourth brother!!"

Liu Chang suddenly broke in and stood in front of them with a smile. Liu Ruyi and Liu Heng looked over and saw Liu Chang holding a big dog and winking at Ruyi. Ruyi's face suddenly turned dark. , took the lead and said: "Why does this dog look so much like the big dog named Chang in my house?"

Liu Chang was stunned and asked angrily: "Brother, how could you humiliate me like this?!"

Liu Ruyi became even more angry. He shouted: "Shuzi! Didn't you do this first?"

"I was only six or seven years old at that time, so I was rude. Does my brother still blame me now?"

Seeing Liu Chang's serious face, Ruyi was stunned and asked with some confusion: "Then why did you bring a dog in?"

"I know that my brother is alone in the Kingdom of Zhao, so I want to give him a hound, but I don't want him to humiliate me like this!" Liu Chang turned around with a straight face and was about to leave. Liu Ruyi stood up quickly and walked to his side, "Elder brother , it’s my fault...I shouldn’t have been like this...I almost forgot that my eldest brother has grown up..."

After Liu Ruyi's kind words and persuasion, Liu Chang's expression improved.

"Third brother!"

"Why."

"Look how obedient this dog is!"

"Third brother, come here...come closer!"

"Um."

"Look, this dog can still understand my words, let it go wherever it goes!" Liu Chang stretched out his hand and pointed around, and the big dog really walked in the direction Liu Chang pointed.

, Liu Ruyi was overjoyed and said: "That's really the case!"

Liu Heng slapped his forehead suddenly and couldn't bear to look directly.

"Fourth brother? What's wrong?"

Ruyi looked at Liu Heng in surprise. Liu Chang couldn't help it anymore and laughed, pointing at the dog and scolding: "Ruyi, Ruyi, you stupid dog!"

"long!!!"

Hearing Ruyi's angry cry, Liu Chang smiled even more happily.

...

At this moment, in the Jiaofang Hall, Liuhou was looking at Empress Lu in front of him with a very respectful expression.

"Liu Hou can go back and rest early."

"Queen Mother, didn't the King of Tang send anyone a letter?"

"Never."

"Then I'm relieved. I thought that because of the character of the King of Tang, I was afraid that he would write to the Queen Mother, requesting that the ministers of various countries who did not obey the imperial edict be killed!" Zhang Liang said, then slowly stood up and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Liuhou!"

The Queen Mother suddenly stopped him and asked: "If the King of Tang suggested this, is there anything wrong with it?"

"In a short period of time, it will greatly frighten the ministers, and the Queen Mother will not encounter any trouble in her administration..."

"I may not dare to do anything in the future."

"Yes, with the Queen Mother here, naturally I wouldn't dare to do anything."

Zhang Liang smiled and saluted, and was about to go out, but Empress Lu suddenly woke up and shouted: "Wait a minute!"

"What other instructions does the Queen Mother have?"

"What should ministers of various countries do if they do not obey orders?"

Zhang Liang sat in front of the Queen Mother again and said with a smile: "The ministers in the temple are old. Why don't the Queen Mother reuse the local ministers and let them come to the temple to bear heavy responsibilities, and then choose some ministers to replace them... If they have merit, then we can

Matters of promotion... As for local officials, those who have meritorious service will of course be rewarded. If a county magistrate is asked to serve as a county magistrate in another place, he may not agree... But if he is to serve as a county magistrate in another place, that may not be the case.

Already."

Queen Lu's eyes lit up.

...........

The wise men were sitting in the orchard, and Liu Chang was nibbling on the fruit. He took a few bites and then suddenly let out a long sigh.

Lu Lu was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Why does the king sigh?"

Liu Chang glanced at him, and now no one was competing with Lu Lu. He immediately said: "I wrote to the Queen Mother, asking the Queen Mother to kill the ministers who did not obey the imperial edict, but my mother refused! She also wanted to reward them and promote them.

From now on, all the ministers in this temple will have enmity with me, how can I not worry?"

"Why doesn't your Majesty ask the wise men for advice?"

Liu Chang curled his lips and said, "This is the Queen Mother's edict. Even if you are a talented person, what can you do?"

"Besides, this has indeed saved a lot of people...but it's time for me to die."
