In the first month after the birth of the emperor's eldest son, a grand full moon banquet was held in the palace.
The kings who have been staying in Chang'an City for a long time are finally going to see the Queen Regent who has never appeared before.
The princes and kings of the Liu family were very reluctant to see Lu Pheasant.
They don't want to admit that from the bottom of their hearts, they have a fear of Lu Pheasant.
Lu Pheasant was able to take over as regent because of the power of the Lu family and the power of the patriarchal clan, and of course the support of heroes like Han Xin.
In other words, the nobility of Lu Pheasant is spelled out by the Lu family.
The Liu clan's princes and kings were due to their bloodline and because Liu Bang was of ordinary origin, so the Liu clan had too few talents.
Therefore, all close relatives have arranged for the throne.
But even in Bangzhou's era when bloodline determined everything, those with talent and those without talent were treated completely differently.
The reason why Ji Zhao was able to be passed on to the throne by King Wu and become the regent even after he refused was because he was an outstanding talent among his brothers.
King Wu believed that Ji Zhou’s world would be stable only if Ji Zhao succeeded to the throne.
Among the princes and kings of the Liu family, only the King of Chu and the King of Huainan were talented.
The rest can't be said to be wine bags and rice bags. After all, there are no dangerous and dangerous events in the world to test the quality of these Liu family princes and kings.
But even so, it can still be seen that most people can only be regarded as ordinary middle-aged people.
The palace of the Han Dynasty was very magnificent.
When Luo Yi was building this city, he was determined to restore the former height of Haojing City and build this city into a big city that complements the east and west of Luoyang.
If the palace is not magnificent, it will not be able to intimidate the ministers, it will not be able to demonstrate the majesty of the emperor and the supreme king of the world, and the central government will not be able to intimidate the local kings.
At least from the expressions of everyone who came to Chang'an for the first time, the city built by Luo Yi was very successful.
This time, the princes, princes and ministers did not gather together and walk in scatteredly as usual, but were led directly into the hall by a large number of palace ladies.
This is a large hall specially built for holding banquets. It is wide and lofty.
Everyone entered the palace without much conversation, and was directly led to their seat by Gong E.
Groups of palace ladies shuttled between the seats like butterflies among flowers.
Lu Pheasant, Liu Ying and Queen Zhang Yan appeared at the end. This was the full moon feast of the eldest son. The eldest son was naturally going to appear. The wrinkled skin when he was just born had faded away. This was a very beautiful baby.
Luo Xin is the prime minister, ranking above the princes and kings, and naturally before the ministers.
As Lu Pheasant sat down, the sound of silk and bamboo played in the hall, and all the ministers sang hymns together.
This can be regarded as one of the changes brought about by Ji Zhao. Luo Kingdom produced a large number of hymns.
These poems can be sung directly, and ancestors were praised during every sacrifice, and eventually evolved into a specialized hymn style.
"Your Majesty may live for eternity, may you always have light."
The ministers sang three times, and the palace was filled with solemnity, and then the little prince was led down.
The ministers sat down and Lu Pheasant said with a smile: "Because of God's blessing, the queen successfully gave birth to the prince. This is a happy event for the Han Dynasty, so the emperor and I want you all to come to Chang'an to share the joy.
Moreover, it has been more than ten years since Emperor Gao created the princes, and I can hardly remember your faces anymore.
Now that I can take advantage of the opportunity of the emperor's heir to meet you, I am really happy. I am afraid that the emperor will also be happy if he knows about it.
In the previous edict, I told you that I and the emperor wanted to know the current situation among the countries.
After more than ten years of recuperation, has the exhausted world recovered?
King Changsha, you are the youngest brother of Emperor Gao, so let me speak first. "
The King of Changsha never dreamed that Lu Pheasant would call his name first, and he couldn't help but secretly thought something was wrong. The other princes and kings of the Liu family also looked stern, and actually asked the weakest King of Changsha first, were they trying to scare the monkeys?
Changsha King Liu Yu had no choice but to stand up and say according to the words he had compiled before: "I pay homage to Her Majesty the Queen Mother Regent.
Since Chen Yu took over the throne of Changsha, he has worked diligently, but the country of Changsha is really too remote and sparsely populated. Now the entire country has a population of only 40,000 households. "
Lu Pheasant frowned instantly when he heard this. The King of Changsha was still slowly reporting on the situation in Changsha Middle School and did not notice Lu Pheasant's expression.
Until a loud shout came from above: "King Changsha, what are you talking about?"
The whole hall fell silent instantly. King Changsha was stunned by the loud shout. When he looked up, he saw Lu Pheasant looking at him with anger on his face, and there was even murderous intent in his eyes.
"King of Changsha, do you know how many household registrations there were in Changsha when you took office?"
The King of Changsha felt that something was wrong, and then he heard Lu Pheasant say coldly: "When you were made king, there were 50,000 households in Changsha. After nearly ten years, you tell me now that there are only 50,000 households in Changsha. Forty thousand households?
Do you think I am a fool? Do you think that all the princes in the dynasty are idiots who can't even count one, two, three and four?
How dare you deceive me? Who gave you the courage?
Do you really think that I dare not depose you because of the throne conferred by the late emperor?
If you can't come up with a reason today, I will not only dethrone you from the throne, but also kill you directly in front of the world to let you know that the majesty of the emperor is inviolable. "
As soon as Lu Pheasant said these murderous words, the temperature of the entire hall seemed to drop to zero, and the heroes looked at the Changsha King with smiles, as if staring at a piece of plump meat.
The King of Changsha never expected that just two words would directly set him on fire, or even lead to death. He had already felt the murderous aura coming from around him.
This horrific scene instantly exposed his idiot nature, and he actually said directly: "Queen Mother, it was the incompetence of my ministers that caused the population of Changsha to decrease..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Pheasant shouted directly: "Bring the King of Changsha to me. His body will be empty and the world will be exhausted. It is the time to recover vigorously. As a result, the population of the feudal country will be reduced. What qualifications do you have to be the king?" ?
According to my decree, the King of Changsha will be deprived of all titles and official titles from now on, and he will be driven back to Peixian County and will not be allowed to leave the country for the rest of his life.
Immediately send people to Changsha to collect all the seals, official seals and tiger talismans given by Emperor Gao.
Liu Yu, if I hadn't thought that you were the brother of Emperor Gao, I would have had to kill you today for the people of Changsha.
Emperor Gao lived a heroic life, and having a loser like you as a clan relative is a real shame. "
The whole hall instantly boiled with energy. I never expected that a prince and king could be deposed so easily.
But even the princes and kings did not dare to speak for King Changsha. Lu Pheasant spoke of a high emperor, and whether the matter about King Changsha was true or false, it was too outrageous and there was no way to quibble.
King Changsha wanted to say something else, but he was dragged down by the guards. Only then did Lu Zhi focus on the kings and Marquis Che again, snorting coldly: "I am very angry now. I hope there won't be anything like King Changsha in the future." Things like this happen.
Which one of you here is not a relative of the emperor, who is not an elder of the emperor, but it ended up like this. Emperor Gao trusted you so much, how can I not feel sad? "
When the kings heard Lu Pheasant's words, they immediately raised the level of preparation for the report in their hearts. At least they had to get through this hurdle first.
