Xiao He held a banquet in the Taishou Mansion in Lujiang to entertain Liu Wei and the beauty Zhao Feiyan, including more than ten local high-ranking officials such as Juncheng, Changshi, and Duwei, all of whom came to accompany him.
"Chengdu, Ciqian, there are no outsiders at the banquet, your brothers follow me for thousands of miles, all the way, don't be formal, let's sit together" Liu Wei sat high in the middle, and the beauty Zhao Feiyan accompanied him on the side, and instructed Xiao He to show the two Yuwen Chengdu brothers.
The Wenyang brothers hugged their fists together and thanked him: "Thank you Your Majesty for the seat" Xiao He is well versed in the way of being an official, and believes that before the world is unified, swaggering in front of the emperor is purely lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.
It's better than eating and drinking, more luxurious than anyone's feast, delicacies from the mountains and seas, fine wine, and someone can compare with the emperor Therefore, Xiao He categorically rejected the suggestion of several adjutants to hold a feast, and did not kill pigs and sheep, extravagance and waste, but mainly vegetarian vegetables and vegetables, coarse tea and light rice, and made some fuss about the taste.
After listening to the emperor's instructions, he immediately ordered someone to prepare two more tables, which were just two more pairs of chopsticks.
The gap between the identities of these local officials and the emperor is too great, and they are cautious when they speak, lest they cause trouble.
And Xiao He refused to arrange singing and dancing, so the banquet was very boring, more like a symbolic cutscene.
But after about half an hour, the feast was over, and Liu Wei got up and said: "I have been running all the way, and I am very tired at the moment, so the feast will end here, I will rest at the post house for the night, and I will continue to return early tomorrow morning."
Xiao Qing prepared a big ship and sent someone to send Zhao Meiren back to Jinling. ” Xiao He received the order and personally sent Liu Wei to the post house: "Wechen has ordered someone to generate carbon in the post house to keep warm, and let Wechen send His Majesty to the post house to stay and rest."
Liu Wei was not polite, and immediately under the guidance of Xiao He, he took Zhao Feiyan, Yuwen Chengdu and other three people to the post house to stay.
The post house is only two or three miles away from Taishou Mansion, just take a walk after dinner to eat, and the group walks on foot, strolling on the streets and alleys of the Lujiang River.
Liu Wei raised his head violently, and suddenly saw two huge stars in the eastern sky, which were so brilliant that the other stars in the sky were eclipsed.
"Tut-tut, these two stars are really dazzling," Liu Wei thought to himself in his heart as he walked, "The ancients paid the most attention to the appearance of heaven, and what they said about the destiny of heaven and auspicious signs and clouds was actually just a coincidence.
And the orientation of these two stars seems to be in the direction of Jiangdong, and it just so happens that Zhen Mi has just given birth to a pair of twins, can I make some fuss about this celestial phase and push Zhen Mi to the position of queen?"
Just when Liu Wei was secretly groaning, Xiao He knelt on the ground: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the Han is very lucky, and the world is very lucky."
"Xiao Aiqing, what is this doing" Liu Wei hurriedly collected his thoughts and bent down to support Xiao He.
Xiao He, who was kneeling on the ground, pointed to the east: "Your Majesty, look at the two stars in the east, they are shining brightly, and they are as big as a fight, which is a good omen."
And the minister also heard that Zhen Zhaoyuan gave birth to a pair of dragon sons a few days ago, which happened to be today's heavenly phase, which shows that Zhen Zhaoyuan's mother and son are rich and noble, and the minister thinks that His Majesty should solemnly canonize Zhen Zhaoyuan, conform to the will of heaven, and make the Han Dynasty prosperous and inherited for thousands of years."
"Xiao Aiqing said it well" Liu Wei was overjoyed, so he almost patted Xiao He on the shoulder and said that you kid will come to the problem, I am worried about how to push Zhen Ji to the position of queen, you will come to the icing on the cake, it is simply a personal essence.
No wonder this guy is good at dancing with long sleeves and is comfortable in a sinister political environment, even if Liu Bang and Empress Lu wantonly eradicated the meritorious ministers, Xiao He was able to start and finish well, this 105 political ability is really not covered, and he is really good at figuring out the holy will.
He won his favor with just one speech, and today's banquet earned him the reputation of a clean official, he is simply a person inside and out, and it is difficult to be an official and not be favored in this role.
Seeing that Xiao He seized the opportunity, several subordinate officials, including Juncheng and Changshi, hurriedly echoed: "What Xiao Taishou said is extremely true, this is God's blessing to the Han, a sign of good luck, please Your Majesty seal Zhen Zhaoyuan, the Han Dynasty will inevitably prosper."
Liu Wei frowned slightly, and secretly wondered in his heart whether those civil and military officials in Jinling had seen the celestial phase of "twin stars shining" tonight, this was a great opportunity to push Zhen Mi to the position of queen, and the opportunity should not be lost and not come again "Xiao Aiqing, let's do it, you draft a letter overnight, and send it to Jinling in advance with a flying pigeon, and see what the military officials in the court say about it when I return to Qianyang Palace after tomorrow, I can directly discuss this matter."
Xiao He understood and handed over the order: "Weichen understands" Xiao He and the others sent the Son of Heaven to the post house, and after Liu Wei entered the house, they respectfully retired.
Zhao Feiyan had a tiring journey, drank the fetal medicine prescribed by Lang Zhong, and soon entered her dream.
Liu Wei lay on the bed, looking at the starry sky outside the window, tossing and turning.
Pinch your fingers and calculate, the position of queen has been vacant for two and a half years now, it's time to give an explanation to the people of the world, the mother of a country can't wait for such a vacant position.
Liu Wei knew that Zhen Mi was not enough to match Wu Ruyi in terms of politics and intelligence, but it was because of this that he was able to rest assured of Zhen Mi.
A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and she needs a virtuous and kind woman to help her take care of the harem, so that all the concubines can live in harmony, instead of letting a woman dominate the harem and put her own women and children in danger.
In the past few years, after thinking about it, Liu Biansi has repeatedly compared the women in the harem, and still thinks that Zhen Mi is the most suitable candidate for the queen.
First, Zhen Mi's appearance is enough to be the mother of the Han Dynasty, and secondly, Zhen Mi is talented, although she is not as good as Shangguan Wan'er, she can also recite poems, and the level is not low.
Third, Zhen Mi has a docile personality, which can be seen from the fact that she sold jewelry to help refugees when she was a teenager.
Fourth, Zhen Mi has few desires, no desire for power, and will not cause trouble in the harem.
After considering various factors, Liu Wei always felt that Zhen Mi was the best candidate for the queen, but Zhen Mi entered the palace too late and the information was too shallow.
If Zhen Mi is desperately pushed to the position of queen, it will inevitably cause rumors, and it will also cause protests from ministers, and it will also make the concubines in Qianyang Palace feel that the emperor is partial and favors one over the other, thus hurting the feelings between these women and themselves.
Because of this, Liu Wei has never dared to throw out his thoughts, has been waiting for an opportunity, and even did not hesitate to leave the queen's position vacant for two and a half years for Zhen Mi.
And now, it can be said that Tianzhu Zhen Mi, who has just entered the palace for more than a year, gave birth to a pair of twin baby boys, and her belly is really competitive.
It is not uncommon to give birth to twins in the world, but the deeds of giving birth to twin princes in the palace are rare, which creates conditions for Liu Wei to push Zhen Mi to the back position.
Tonight, there is another shining double star in the sky, Xiao He just stood up and sent an assist, it can be said that Zhen Mi's ascension to the throne has come naturally, so Liu Wei secretly made up his mind that this time he will return to Jinling regardless of all obstacles and canonize Zhen Mi as the queen.
The next day, as soon as the sky was hazy, Liu Wei said goodbye to Zhao Feiyan, Xiao He and others, and took Yuwen Chengdu and Wenyang on the journey back to Jinling, and in two or three days it was the New Year, and he must return to the capital before the New Year. galloped all the way, and at noon the next day, Liu Wei and his party finally returned to Jinling after many years of absence.
The civil and military officials who got the news went to the ferry on the bank of the Yangtze River under the leadership of Liu Ji and Xun Yu to respond, and waited for a long time in the cold wind, and finally saw the Son of Heaven and made a salute together: "The ministers welcome Your Majesty to the imperial expedition, sweep Liu Bei, defeat Liu Zhao's rebels, and the good news is frequent, and I have suffered this year."
Please enter the palace quickly, the ministers have already prepared a feast for Your Majesty."
Liu Wei and Liu Ji, Xun Yu, Lu Su, Di Renjie, Meng Hui and other civil and military officers held hands one by one to greet each other, and immediately couldn't wait to get on the horse and return to Jinling, and went straight to Qianyang Palace non-stop.
The civil and military officials first went to the Ziwei Hall to wait for the Son of Heaven to come to the feast, while Liu Wei went straight to the harem and first went to the Shou'an Hall to meet the cheap mother Empress Dowager He.
Although it is almost a year old, but the pampered Empress Dowager He is very well maintained, and it still looks charming, standing next to Shangguan Wan'er, who is holding a half-year-old baby in her arms, seeing Liu Wei returning, she immediately bowed to Shi Li: "The concubine greets Your Majesty" "Ai Ji Wai Gift" Liu Wei waved his hand to signal that Shangguan Wan'er didn't need to be polite, and he didn't know if it was his own psychological effect or what was going on, he always felt that Shangguan Wan'er's expression was a little unnatural.

"Hehe, the emperor is back" Seeing her son who had been absent for nearly a year, it seemed that the Empress Dowager He was still happy from the bottom of her heart, and looked Liu Wei up and down: "Alas, you said that you have a pampered life, but why do you always fight in the south and the north, you look at the wind and frost along the way, and the whole person looks a lot older."
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty is becoming more and more mature, more and more domineering as the Son of Heaven, and it is no longer the same as the immaturity of the past."
Shangguan Wan'er held the baby in her arms and spoke for Liu Fang flatteringly.
Empress Dowager He smiled slightly: "Or Wan'er can speak, bring the child in her arms" Empress Dowager He took the child from Shangguan Wan'er's arms and hugged it in front of Liu Wei: "Emperor, you see that this child is full of heaven and square, and his eyes are as bright as ink, but he looks like the emperor when you were a child."
"What's this kid's name" Liu Wei smiled bitterly, it wasn't his own name, and he forgot it completely.
"Emperor, look at you, you can't take the name of the mourning family" Empress Dowager He shook her head and sighed, "Wan'er gave birth to such a baby boy in five or six years, this is the favor of God, Your Majesty should reward Wan'er well."
Liu Wei nodded: "What the queen mother said is, then promote Wan'er to be one of the nine concubines, and give her the title of Shurong." ” Empress Dowager He looked disappointed: "The position of the queen has always been vacant, and it is Wan'er who is helping the mourning family take care of it, so the emperor asked her to be a nine concubines, and the mourning family thought that she should be crowned a concubine." t1706231537:
