Liu Zhao slipped to Chang'an palace for dinner.
Can't help but complain with Gu Jiu, "a few children don't have a intimate, there are palaces in the palace, but want to live outside the palace. Of course, the mansion you built is very beautiful. But as a child, shouldn't you eat with your parents and be filial? "
Gu Jiu laughs at him, "they accompany you to have a meal, and you should dislike them for being in the way of the eyes. It is offensive to look at them vertically and horizontally. The children are sensible, and if they don't come to you, they don't live in the palace and eat with you. You are a hard man to serve. "
"I'm just complaining, but it's a series of counterattacks from you. You're biased. You're all biased towards the children. They did not want to build a palace for the children. Hum
Liu Zhao, like a child, was jealous.
Gu Jiu was angry with him.
Put out your finger and poke him on the forehead. "That's what you're going to do. I'll use my private money to repair the Xingqing palace for you tomorrow, OK
Liu Zhao was happy to laugh at Yan Kai! When the emperor grandfather was there, he repaired it once, and could live for a while. No amount of money can be wasted. "
It's amazing. I was polite to her.
Gu nine pursed lips a smile, "are you sure Xingqing palace need not repair?"
Well
Liu Zhao hesitated for a long time! You insist on repairing Xingqing palace. How can I refute your good intention. It's up to you to repair the Xingqing palace. "
Gu Jiu smiles.
Liu Zhao drank two mouthfuls of soup and frowned again.
"The soup doesn't taste good," she asked
"No! I think of a bad thing. Do you know who Ruyang is interested in? "
Gu Jiu nods, "know!"
"You already know? Why don't you tell me? "
"I want to talk to you after dinner, but I didn't expect you to mention it in advance."
"Trouble! Ruyang's favorite is Chen Zhuangshi's eldest son. If the two get married, Chen Zhuangshi will have to leave the overseas camp as soon as possible. I hate this situation! "
In order to prevent an overseas family from becoming a big one, if Ruyang marries General Chen, Chen Zhuangshi must be transferred from overseas camp.
Otherwise, with the help of Ruyang's identity, the Chen family can become a overlord overseas.
Even Liu Heng, the second prince, could not hold down the Chen family.
An overseas camp alone can bring countless conveniences to the Chen family.
There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the overseas camp, all of them are veterans of the hundred battles. They are not comparable to those under Liu Heng's command.
This is the gap!
It's not about what the Chen family will do or whether the Chen family will rebel or not.
But as a check and balance of rights, it must be operated in this way.
Rights must be bound and checked, just as the three provinces and six ministries check and balance each other.
The chief executive in charge of overseas business has been in a state of tremendous power and power.
If there is a son-in-law in the family and a daughter-in-law with more than ten cities, any accident can happen.
It can't give people the chance to inflate their desires.
Gu Jiu said: "I just want to ask you, Ruyang and overseas camp, how do you choose?"
"It's worth saying, of course, it's Ruyang." Liu Zhao really dotes on Ruyang as always.
The only girl can't be spoiled too much.
Gu nine smile, "since choose to complete Ruyang, then think carefully, who are the candidates to replace Chen Zhuangshi."
"What do you think of my brother-in-law?" Liu Zhao asked directly.
Gu Yu?
Gu Jiu bit his lips and hesitated.
"Elder brother can be a general, but being handsome is not good. He did not have Yang Ji's talent and learning, nor Chen Zhuangshi's overall view. To tell you the truth, if not for Ruyang's sake, I really don't want to replace Chen Zhuangshi. "
"I don't want to replace him, but for the sake of Ruyang's happiness, I must make a choice."
Liu Zhao sighed, father this identity, is a burden!
Gu Jiu screened all the candidates, "in fact, there is a person who is suitable."
"Who?"
"Your son Liu Heng!"
Eh?
Liu Zhao's spirit suddenly came.
"Is the second one suitable? He didn't bring a soldier to fight. Is it really appropriate? "
"He has led his troops to war, but he has not fought a large-scale war. And he is too young, in his early twenties, I'm afraid he can't hold back. The generals below refused to accept him, and they did not agree with him. Overseas business is always chaotic, and our overseas layout will be wasted. "
"It's a good way to solve this problem. Imitate the boss and send an old general to suppress the battle. Let my brother-in-law be the veteran of the battle. "
Gu Jiu frowned, "I'm thinking about it!"
"It's settled. Tomorrow, I will issue a decree to the second and the third to be a prince. In this way, the second son can lead the overseas camp
Gu Jiu still hesitated, "two days ago, I had a talk with the second. He wanted to open a vassal state overseas. Don't you worry if you appoint him as chief manager of overseas business? If he turns his overseas camp into his own private army, it will be a big trouble! "Liu Zhao frowned and thought deeply, and analyzed one by one the maps of the sea.
He asked, "how ambitious is the second one?"
Gu Jiu carefully said: "he wants to break the soil and seal the king! To occupy a large area, everything has the final say. I can see that he is trying to avoid arguing with the boss. Two brothers in this position, even if they do not have that idea, people around them will push them to the king. He knew the danger, so he chose to go overseas.
When he got abroad, he wanted to do a big job. Let him be the chief manager of overseas camp, and he will never give up this chance. Therefore, this decision may be a double-edged sword. If you are not careful, you will hurt the child. "
"It was you who proposed to let the second son be the chief manager of overseas camp. Now it is you who are against it. I wonder if I can tell you what you think
"The second one needs opportunities to experience, and at the same time, he needs to be constrained." Gu Jiu has a voice.
Liu Zhao motioned her to go on.
Gu Jiu is very straightforward, "the director of overseas camp is a gift from our parents. At the same time, let Yang Ji send people to restrain him. The money bag of overseas camp is always in the hands of the Shao Fu, which is our constraint on him. I gave him five years. After five years, the post of chief executive must be replaced. Five years is enough for us to find the right person. "
Liu Zhao repeatedly nodded, "it's very good to set a five-year period! OK, do as you say. Are you still a brother-in-law? "
Gu Jiu said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid he won't be willing to return to Beijing if he goes abroad. Another one! "
"OK, then change."
During a meal, the husband and wife decide on the appointment and removal of officials.
……
Emperor Liu Zhao summoned General Chen and caught Ruyang by surprise.
She rushed into the palace and stamped her feet, or chose to go to Chang'an palace to meet her mother.
"After the mother, the daughter wants to confess one thing."
"Don't worry. Sit down first and wipe the sweat on your forehead. You came here? It's still the same as when I was a child. "
Gu Jiu took out her handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat on her forehead.
Ruyang worried, but suppressed their own emotions.
Over the years abroad, she learned to be restrained.
"What are you busy with these days? I haven't seen you enter the palace. Two days ago, your father was still complaining that you would not go into the palace to eat with him
"If my father doesn't dislike me, I will eat with him every day."
"That's not necessary. Your father is a hard man to serve! You're in the palace every day. You don't go into the palace for a few days and you start complaining again. The older you get, the more you look like a child. You have to be coaxed
Ruyang laughed, "under the heaven, only the empress mother can cure his father. The father and the emperor only listen to his mother
Gu Jiu laughs, "young husband and wife are old company. It makes sense to think about it carefully. When children grow up, they will leave. Only husband and wife, can accompany to old, even if noisy, the day is also interesting. You have reached the marriageable age. Do you have any idea when you return to Beijing this time? The empress mother looked at you for a while, but there were several suitable candidates
Ruyang is tongue tied.
Gu Jiu looks at him with a smile.
Ruyang suddenly felt that he had been routine.
She bowed her head and chuckled shyly, "the empress mother should know all about it."
"Do you mean General Chen?"
Ruyang nodded repeatedly, the light in his eyes twinkled, and it was hard to show his little daughter's state.
"Do you really like it?"
Ruyang nods.
"Love each other?"
Ruyang nods again.
"Have you ever told each other your heart?"
Ruyang looks embarrassed.
"Did he pick out the window paper first, or did you..."
"It's like picking on each other."
The girl is quite active.
As a city Lord of dozens of cities, he should be active in his actions. It's the same with emotion.
Good!
Gu Jiu asked again, "where do you think he is better?"
Ruyang's eyes are bright, "where are all good! He can fight, train, and look good. He can also read books. He has been tested as a scholar. Give him time to prepare for the exam, and I think it's OK to test all the candidates. And long-term vision, regardless of the gains and losses of a place, can afford to put it down. Long sleeves are good at dancing. They can fight on horses and govern the people! Many people say that he has the demeanor of Yang Xianggong, worthy of being Yang Xianggong's student. "
"Thanks to your reminding, this palace just remembered that General Chen Xiao had been a master of Yang Ji Yang. It's very reasonable that famous teachers produce excellent students. But you so praise him, let your father emperor hear, will certainly eat the taste, continued several days to talk about the girl extroversion. Then tell me what his shortcomings are. "
Ruyang some embarrassed, slightly shook his head, "he has no shortcomings."
Gu Jiu looked at her with a smile, "as long as it is a person, there are shortcomings. A man without faults is either a saint or a hypocrite. Do you think he is a saint or a hypocrite? "
"He is certainly not a hypocrite, and certainly not a saint.""Then tell me about his shortcomings."
"There are also shortcomings, too loose hands, no wealth. He cares more about his subordinates than his family. He is resourceful and good at calculating people's hearts. "
"To hear that, he is a man of great ambition. He should know that Princess Shang will hinder her career. What's the reason why people who want to pursue official career are willing to be the princess's son-in-law? "
"Is the empress mother doubting that his intentions are impure?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "have you ever doubted him?"
Ruyang freely admitted, "yes, my daughter also suspected him."
"Then why are you still willing to choose him as your son-in-law?"
Ruyang solemnly said, "my daughter knows that he is ambitious. I told him that with his family background and origin, when he was 50 or 60 years old, he would have a chance to win the throne. However, there is only opportunity, not necessity. He didn't come from Jinshi background. If he wanted to win the imperial examination, he would have to spend a few years in the imperial examination. If you become an official in the imperial examination, you should slowly work out your qualifications. When he is 50 or 60 years old, there may be a second Yang Xianggong, and his efforts will be in vain.
But if you marry me, I will open the vassal state within ten years. He is the son-in-law and the prince. I will share the glory with him! I put two futures in front of him for him to choose from. Whether he chose to take an official career or to work with me to build a vassal state, he chose the latter. "
Gu Jiu said: "he still has a third way to choose. He can choose to be a military general, just like his father did."
Ruyang said: "to be a general, you will always be oppressed by the officials. He said, either don't do it or do your best. I had a deep talk with him. Our marriage, with interests in our feelings, can never be pure. But we can work towards the same goal, just like father and queen.
There's nothing wrong with being frank with each other, revealing one's selfish side, and exposing one's ambition. I accept his ambition and he accepts my identity. We seek common ground while reserving differences. No one should despise anyone and no one should be hypocritical. If there is a problem to discuss, don't play the hypocritical way.
He is not a good man, of course I am not a good man. We are all stained with blood, so don't play the trick of cheating each other. We will be the one who knows each other best, the same bad, the same ambitious, the same full of bad water. Good match
Gu Jiu wants to laugh and cry.
What kind of suffering makes Ruyang see through the world and human nature at a young age.
She hugged her tightly. "You're wronged!"
Ruyang Meng forced, she did not understand why the mother would cry, why would be so excited.
"My daughter doesn't feel aggrieved!"
"Silly boy!" Gu Jiu controls the mood, stealthily wipes the tear, "this palace wants to see him, in the end is not what you said."
"If the queen mother can promise her daughter, don't embarrass her."
"If we don't embarrass him, how can we force him out of his nature?"
"When the Empress Dowager is in trouble with him, be kind to him a little, and don't be too cruel."
"It depends on the mood of the palace."
"I'll rub my shoulders and legs for the queen mother!"
