Changle Palace, Yongshou Hall.
This was once Liu Bang's residence, and Empress Lu's reign was also held here.
Thus, the style of the Eternal Longevity Hall was majestic and imposing, showing the majesty of the Han emperor.
However, recently, the two masters of the Hall of Eternal Longevity, Empress Bo and Empress Dowager Dou, both believed in Huang Lao's idea of inaction and liked peace and quiet.
Therefore, the various weapons and maps that were originally hung in the Hall of Eternal Longevity were removed and replaced with various screens and murals.
"Imperial grandmother, cousin Liu Sheng is very powerful. He made the Xiongnu people speechless and even threw the big bad guy out in an instant!”
A cute little girl was lying on Empress Dowager Dou's shoulder, her face full of innocence.
"Liu Sheng? Xiao Jiu? Madam Jia's second son?"
Empress Dowager Dou spent a lot of effort to sketch out this person's voice and smile in her mind.
The main reason was that the presence of this mother and son in the palace was too low, even lower than the Seventh Prince Liu Pengzu.
Not only was Little Seven good-looking, but she was also very sweet, so she often attracted more attention.
"Imperial grandmother, I heard that cousin Liu Sheng is going to compete in archery with the big bad guy tomorrow.”
This girl was the eldest princess of Guantao, Chen Ajiao. She had been deeply loved by Guantao and Empress Dowager Dou since she was young. She followed her in and out of the palace as if she was in her own backyard.
"Xiao Jiu isn't even ten years old yet, right? How can he be as powerful as you say?"
Empress Dowager Dou smiled as she stroked her granddaughter's hair, her face filled with love.
At her age, the most important thing was the relationship between her children and grandchildren.
"It's true. I heard it from my father.”
Chen Ajiao's father was the Marquis of Tangyi, Chen Wu. Today, he personally saw Liu Sheng turn the clouds and rain with a flip of his hand in the court, so he was full of praise when he returned home.
"It's just a child's nonsense. It's not worth mentioning.”
This matter had actually been reported to Empress Dowager Dou a long time ago, but it did not attract her attention.
In private, he even suspected that the mighty Xiongnu warriors were actually not a match for a child of the Great Han Dynasty.
Is the Xiongnu preparing to make peace with us, or is their military strength so weak?
However, with the Emperor and the ministers around, she would not care about these national affairs.
"Imperial grandmother, go, go, Ah Jiao wants to see cousin Liu Sheng's elegance!”
"Alright, alright, that should do, right?"
Under Chen Ajiao's coquettish flattery, Empress Dowager Dou could only nod in agreement.
It was also a good time for her to see this famous Saint Child of the Liu family.
……
Cool Palace.
Emperor Jing Liu Qi and his confidant Chao Cuo looked at each other in silence.
Before this, no one had expected things to develop to this stage.
"Your Highness is a great talent, I am ashamed!”
Thinking of Liu Sheng's performance in the hall today, Chao Cuo's eyes revealed a complicated light.
At such a young age, he had actually solved a difficult problem that even adults like them found difficult to solve.
This intelligence was simply amazing.
"We'll talk about this later. Zhen is more concerned about tomorrow's competition.”
Emperor Jing, Liu Qi, revealed a trace of unwillingness. He did not like the feeling of losing control of everything.
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't like the Xiongnu people and didn't want to marry them.
However, from the perspective of the Imperial Academy, giving away a woman and some coins could buy time for the internal problems to recover. This was a very cost-effective thing.
Therefore, the main point of his question was not whether he could win, but whether he should win.
"This…"
Chao Cuo hadn't expected the Emperor to be so impatient.
Even though he knew that if he used such a childish method, even if he won tomorrow's competition, the Xiongnu Royal Court might not admit it.
There would definitely be all sorts of disputes afterwards.
But no matter what, he had won!
Compared to a war where dozens or hundreds of people were beheaded, such a victory was more inspiring and united!
Moreover, that person is your biological son!
Chao Cuo didn't say any of these words. He knew the current emperor's character.
It was light to say that he was mean and ungrateful. The best description of an emperor was to turn hostile and heartless.
"Since Your Majesty has given this matter to the Ninth Hall His Highness to handle, I don't think we should change our course so easily.”
After saying that, he knelt on the ground. Then, he felt as if a knife was on his back.
Emperor Jing, Liu Qi, stared at the other party for a long time before retracting his gaze. He said thoughtfully,"Perhaps you're right. Zhen should have more confidence in Sheng 'er.”
……
What happened in the Han Dynasty couldn't be hidden.
At this time, people generally did not have the awareness of confidentiality.
They even dared to discuss the rebellion of the princes in broad daylight. In the end, they were arrested by the imperial court.
Thus, as the officials of the court returned home, the news of what had happened in the court quickly spread to the people.
"No marriage alliance, no reparations, no ceding of land, no tribute, the prince guarding the country gate, the king dying for the country, that's all.”
"Let's drink together. After hearing this, my blood really boiled. I can't wait to immediately join the army.”
"If there really is a prince who dares to guard the country, what's the harm in selling it to him for a few hundred catties?”
In a certain restaurant, a group of Wanderers heard about this matter. All of them were excited, wishing that they could replace him with their own bodies.
"Of course the Ninth Prince is good, but with his age, is he really that good?”
"Perhaps it's because he's gifted. In ancient times, Gan Luo became prime minister at the age of seven, and now, Nine Hall His Highness has defeated the Hu Krupp!”
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know after tomorrow's match. Archery can't be faked!”
Many people agreed with this statement.
To the people of today, archery was a superb skill.
An ordinary archer needed at least three years of professional training to be qualified.
As for the sharpshooters who were as famous as the Xiongnu Condor Shooters, they did not have excellent talent. Even if they spent ten years, they might not be able to master it.
In the private room of the restaurant, a group of young ladies of various official families listened attentively to a song.
"My family will marry into my Xitian side."
"I entrust you to a foreign country, the King of the Huns."
"The vault is the room, oh, the wall is the wall."
"Eating meat as food, cheese as pulp."
"Ju Chang Tu Si Xi's heart is injured."
"I'm willing to return to my hometown for the yellow swan."
All the women felt the same way, and their eyes were filled with tears.
Because if this marriage alliance was successful, then the candidate for the marriage alliance would most likely be chosen from them.
Therefore, they were the biggest supporters and admirers of Liu Sheng's actions this time.
Perhaps it would not be effective in the short term, but these women would definitely have a far-reaching impact.
