"Your Highness..." Cai you led him away after saluting. In fact, he had been waiting for Liu Shen for a while: "Your Majesty is eating."
Liu Shen's salute to Cai you is naturally a return gift, not only because Cai you is a waiter, but also because he is more or less the love of CAI you when he grows up. If he ignores these, he will inevitably have a domineering reputation.
In winter, Chang'an is shrouded in snow. Today's snow is larger than in previous years. Good news from the outside continues to come back, and the unrest of internal slaves has been suppressed. The university has the meaning of auspicious snow and auspicious years.
After seeing the Emperor today, Liu Shen should go to the ancestral temple to coexist with the famous great men and sages of the various Xia dynasties. He should stay there for seven days and wait for the monarch ceremony.
Early in the morning, you should not eat too greasy. Congee and pickles are Liu Yan's morning food this morning. Occasionally, they will be replaced with steamed bread or steamed stuffed buns with soybean milk.
Liu Yan saw Liu Shen, who was led into the house by Cai you, pointed to the opposite side of the table and motioned to sit down.
Nowadays, the Han Empire only obeys the ancient rites on formal occasions, that is, it pays attention to the set of bending knees and kneeling. Otherwise, seats and the like have long been popularized in courtiers and Xun GUI's homes, and some rich folk will also buy high foot tables and chairs.
What Liu Yan regarded as the dining table was a long table three meters long and one meter two wide. He asked Liu Shen to sit close to his right.
"Father." After Liu Shen saluted, he took his seat. A moment later, a female official brought the porridge, picked up the bowl, took a spoon and ate a few mouthfuls. After swallowing it, he said, "has Ming gone to sea?"
Liu Yan glanced at Liu Shen and nodded after a few seconds.
Liu Shen's eating speed is much faster than before. He used to pay attention to eating without sound, but now there will be "sucking" movement.
As long as they have been in the army for a period of time, even if they eat slowly before, they will form the habit of eating quickly. Once you eat fast, you can't avoid some movement. Just don't have the habit of tutting your mouth.
"These seven days, you have written what you saw and heard during the western expedition." Liu Yan took another bowl of porridge and began to eat it. When he saw that he was talking, he put it down and sat down properly. Liu Shen said, "see and hear all the way, write what you think.", He ordered the table and motioned Liu Shen to continue eating.
"Before going to the temple, go and meet your brother and sister." Liu Yan observed again and again and found that Liu Shen had long lost his previous white and fat, and became a healthy sub black skin. In addition, there was a great change in temperament. He was funny that Liu Shen deliberately restrained himself and asked, "have you seen him since he came back?"
"Back to my father, yes." Liu Shen smiled and said, "my son brought back some gadgets as gifts for my brother and sister. They were all sent in person."
Liu Yan knows these things. He nodded with satisfaction: "tell me, what did you bring?"
In fact, what else can you buy in the west of the Han Empire unless you go to sassanne? Most of the so-called gifts were selected from the distributed booty. There were no gold, silver and jewelry, just some interesting handicrafts and fur.
"What you prepared for Liu Ming were six beauties of all nationalities?" Liu Yan saw that Liu Shen began to smile awkwardly and asked, "how many have you left?"
Liu Shen didn't leave any of them. He will bring back six beauties of all ethnic groups to Liu Ming. I still remember Liu Ming mentioned it longingly once.
Obviously, Liu Shen can't remember that Liu Ming once mentioned such a thing. It's enough to keep an embarrassing smile.
Liu Yan waved and motioned that Liu Shen could find his brothers and sisters.
"I've heard about..." Cai you waited for Liu Shen to leave, and said politely but politely: "it seems that two years ago, his highness Ming was curious about all ethnic groups and wanted to collect beauties of all ethnic groups. His highness Shen always remembered that this time..."
"You even know such things." Liu Yan didn't go to see Cai you whose face was stiff. He stood up and walked to the window. What he saw was Zhuo Xiang standing at the moon gate and receiving Liu Shen: "don't pay attention to what you shouldn't pay attention to."
Cai you said with a bitter smile, "Your Majesty, Minister... It's a rumor heard in the public."
Liu Yan can guess what's going on. It's just that some people think it's absurd for Liu Shen to bring back beauty, especially to another prince. They packaged such a thing as brotherhood for some purposes.
As the eldest son of the royal family, Liu Shen carries the hope of too many people. They will spontaneously and consciously set up a protective film for Liu Shen. If there is any trouble, they can tackle key problems at the fastest speed.
Liu Yan is one of the people who established a protective layer for Liu Shen. He drew a conclusion from many dynasties that the newly founded Dynasty should choose to establish a leader rather than a virtuous person.
What the new country wants is to spend it smoothly, and there must be no turbulence. The most serious thing is the malicious competition between princes, resulting in the death of the second emperor.
In fact, a new dynasty is very fragile in the first three generations. The ruling nature of the royal family needs enough time to make the world think that it is natural for such a family to be the ruling family.
In this way, it is very important for the royal family to have internal friction. While they have internal friction, they have to rely on the strength of the ministers. If they want help, they have to pay, so it is very easy to have power ministers.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, once there was a power minister, the power minister would generally be a dragon minister who followed the first generation of emperor, or the second generation of dragon ministers. His family would have enough reputation and good strength. Once he seized the opportunity, it would be another Dynasty change.
Liu Yan probably knows that his life will not be short. He should be able to live longer than those who rise with him. The strong minister and the weak Lord will not happen in his old Liu family.
As the founding emperor, Liu Yan believed that as long as he was still alive, even if only he would lie in bed and breathe, even if he could not speak, as long as he was not dead, others would not dare to do anything against him.
"The second generation of kings of the Han Dynasty still need to have a pioneering heart." Liu Yan once again came to the highest position of the palace city and looked down on the whole Chang'an City: "Liu Shen is not only the eldest son, but also shows a strong desire to expand. He will be a qualified successor."
"Your Highness Shen is naturally a qualified prince, but..." Xie AI is a servant, a close Minister of the emperor, and it is within the scope of his duty to say some words: "the Queen's family is a little more powerful."
"Yes..." Liu Yan was very pleased that Xie AI dared to tell the truth. He said: "Sang's overall contraction is no longer competing with Cui. I don't want to see this."
Xie AI asked softly, "do you want to hint at the Shangshu order?"
"I'm so scared that I'm about to break my courage." Liu Yan is somewhat disappointed, but he knows that once there is a hint, sang Yu will have new hope and become a very troublesome thing. He smiled and said, "don't Guo and Wang always want to grow?"
"Your Majesty, the Guo family has worked for Shijie a lot. Since the founding of the Great Han Dynasty, they have been keeping a low profile. There is a great tendency to be bullied without resistance." Xie AI doesn't think Guo has the courage to be dirty with Cui: "Wang has always been attached to sang. Recently, he has almost given way to Cui without a bottom line."
"I've heard that the Guo family has a beautiful woman who loves the city and the country?" Liu Yan really heard this rumor: "Wang also has a charming mother?"
Xie AI opened her mouth and bowed back.
Guo is really a beauty, but whether Liu Yan needs to see is true.
It is conceivable that Guo's reputation is all made by Guo. They expect Liu Yan to hear something and accept the beauty into the palace. Even if he can't threaten Cui Wan, he can improve Guo's current bad situation.
After leaving Xie AI, he will send someone to the Guo family. However, if it is the rumored beauty, purple is OK, and soon the beauty will appear in the palace city.
Similarly, Wang's beautiful woman will also be taken into the palace city.
In the near future, there will be two more beauties around Liu Yan. They will be greatly loved by Liu Yan, and her family will also usher in a round of rewards.
December 22nd has been here for a long time. On this day, the Han empire finally had a prince, and the Han people had the object of loyalty of the next generation.
Naturally, the ceremony was grand and warm. According to tradition, one of Liu Shen's eldest brother-in-law got the Marquis not long after the ceremony.
In fact, when Liu Yan should have made Cui Wan queen, he chose a person from Cui to reward the marquis. It was only in order to make the title more difficult that he delayed giving Cui at least one Marquis according to tradition.
Liu Shen, who became the crown prince, moved away from the harem and into the hanc hall.
In the Han Dynasty, the crown prince does not live in the East Palace, which is actually the living palace of the Empress Dowager.
The country established by Liu Yan continues the national name of "Han". Many palace que groups in the palace city have also taken the name of the Western Han Dynasty for a long time, and there is no much change in function.
Hanbing hall appeared in the period of Liu Che, Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty. Since then, it has always been the living place of the crown prince of the Han Dynasty. There is also a painting hall to provide the crown prince to repair literature, and Jiaguan is to provide the crown prince to practice martial arts.
At the same time, the prince will have his own force, such as the northern army in the Western Han Dynasty.
There is no such an army as the northern army in the current Han Empire. When Liu Yan decided to set up a reserve monarch, he gave the crown prince a six rate system in the east palace. The one rate system is a song, and the six rate is naturally the establishment of 6000 people.
"This is the list drawn up by the minister." Liu Shen respectfully handed over the playing table and said, "please review it."
Liu Yan took the list from Cai you and glanced at it. There was no unnecessary change in his face.
The list is an integral part of Donggong's six rate officers. At a glance, Liu Yan can see many familiar names, not only some Xun GUI's descendants, but even a generation of Xun GUI's names.
"Yes." Liu Yan would not attack Liu Shen with high spirits on such a thing. He asked Cai you to carry out the necessary process on the playing table, that is, to stamp the seal that needs to be stamped. At the same time, he asked Liu Shen: "official of the library, haven't you considered the list yet?"
Liu Shen showed a hesitant expression and hesitated and said, "my ministers have had preliminary consideration, but they just can't make up their mind."
The princes of the Han Empire will not only have their own force, but also have their own literary officials. This is not the system set up by Liu Yan patting his head. In fact, it is not a contemporary system, but still a continuation of the ancient system.
"There can't be too many people in the south." In the corner of Liu Yan's eye, Yu Guang saw a stunned expression on LV Yi's face, ignored it, and said bluntly to Liu Shen: "this is the general trend, okay?"
In short, the punishment for some people is not over yet. They should pay the price for what they do, and even bear the results for what their parents and even their grandparents do.
Liu Yan himself is punishing those people. As a result, Chu Jun is widely accepted. There will be two interpretations of things.
People all over the world may think that Liu Yan has stopped punishing those people. Naturally, the South will be happy, and the northerners dare not express their opposition clearly, but it should become a reality that they will not be punished for doing wrong.
Once Liu Shen really accepted a large number of southern gentry, it can also be interpreted that he was closing in the southerners. Did he get any hint, or did he simply step out of the footsteps with his own will?
Whatever it is, it should not appear in the current Han Empire. It is the disregard of millions of victims.
"My son knows." Liu Shen swallowed a mouthful of water with difficulty, and there was a sweat on his forehead: "my son's ministers will draw up a list as soon as possible and show it to my father."
"You step back." Liu Yan's eyes waited for Liu Shen to leave, then looked at LV Yi and asked, "did those people start jumping again?"
LV Yi is the Minister of rites. Liu Shen needs the cooperation of the Ministry of rites in some procedures of opening the house and building teeth, so he will appear here.
"Your Majesty, they dare not jump." LV Yi smiled bitterly and decided to say what he knew: "I heard that Cui Xuan has been to Hanbing hall more recently."
"Cui Xuan?" Liu Yan thought for a while before remembering who the man was. He said, "Luzon needs people. Let him go."
Cui Xuan, of course, is a member of the Cui family. Yuan Shuo was active for about ten years, disappeared for seven years, and reappeared after Liu Shen became a Chu Jun.
Liu Yan didn't look at anyone and asked, "what is the queen doing recently?"
Cai you and LV Yi looked at each other, and then both looked away. They know it's not asking themselves at all.
"Your Majesty, the queen is looking up the list of young women recently." The voice came from behind the screen: "I heard that I wanted to choose a princess for the prince."
Liu Yan didn't know about it and was stunned.
"Princess?" Liu Yan was not angry. He knew that Cui Wan would tell herself after she had a candidate and asked, "is there a candidate?"
The man behind the screen replied, "there is no candidate."
In the Han Dynasty, there are many places under the control of the empress, including the harem and all women in the world. In theory, the empress can manage.
Then, under normal circumstances, the emperor will not interfere in the prince's mate selection, but the queen will choose by herself, waiting for a candidate to be finalized by the emperor.
In this way, in fact, there is no ultra vires, that is, I don't know what Liu Yan's idea is.
