Although no specific emperors were mentioned, this sentence mocked many people as soon as it was uttered.

Chinese

Although Lu Zhi had been mentally prepared and knew that the Lu family would not have a good ending after her death, after all, that was how she treated the Liu clan.

But I still felt a little angry when I really heard it. Zhou Bo, Chen Ping and Liu Zhang are all great brothers.

Lü Zhi remembered them and did not attack them immediately. Instead, she looked at Liu Heng in the hall and said, "It's good to consolidate the throne, but being so respectful to a minister is indeed beneath your dignity."

Liu Heng knew that she was teaching him, and immediately said, "Tai Hou is right. Liu Heng will remember this."

Lü Zhi stared at Liu Heng, wondering how likely it was that he would be chosen as emperor. Since his strength had been recognized, the people below him probably had no objections. As for the Lü family...

Lu Zhi felt a little cold in her heart.

She knew what the Lu family had done under her protection over the years. She had given them so much wealth and glory for so many years, which was considered to be a way of repaying their kindness.

Although she didn't know why, when she was in trouble, not many people remembered that she was a member of the Lu family and lent a hand.

This was the thought of Empress Lü when she was in power, and the same thought also existed when Empress Liu Bang was still in power.

In the past, she would naturally still have to make plans for her son, but now seeing Zhou Jia's carefree and free attitude, she is also tired.

It would be better to assist a more talented person to take over. As for her son, she would just give him an identity to ensure his lifelong wealth and glory. When she died, she would not be able to take care of her affairs after her death.

Lü Zhi was stubborn, but also very clear-headed. She never dragged her feet on things she had thought through. She immediately looked at the young Liu Heng and offered, "He has some courage and is indeed a promising young man. So, why not register Liu Heng under my name? Your Majesty, please make him the crown prince as soon as possible, so as to reassure the people."

Lu Zhi said this lightly, but the seven-year-old Liu Heng was still a little confused. He had no idea that his future would be so powerful. In just a moment, he caught the eye of his father, whom he hadn't seen for many years, and his mother even took the initiative to propose that he be made the crown prince.

Liu Bang was also a little surprised.

He knew how much Lu Zhi cherished her two children. Over the years, as the other princes grew up, Liu Bang himself actually had the idea of ​​changing the crown prince, but how could Lu Zhi let go? Now she actually took the initiative to bring it up.

When Liu Ying heard his mother's words, he didn't understand why his mother would agree to make someone else the crown prince.

"Mother, I am the crown prince. Do you want Father to depose me? Liu Heng did well. Does that mean I did poorly?"

Liu Ying looked at her in shock.

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Ying with a complicated expression.

Emperor Hui of Han, Liu Ying: [How do Liu Heng's achievements compare to mine? Am I inferior to him?]

Even Zhou Jia didn't say much about him.

Zhou Jia saw Liu Ying's words and guessed that he must be feeling disappointed and dissatisfied, so he said, "Why are you comparing yourself to others? Everyone is different, and there's no point in comparing yourself to others.

However, the emperor said that what you have done is good enough, but there is one thing I don't quite agree with, that is, you set a precedent for selling official positions and titles by allowing people to sell titles.

You... If the official who went up was a person with a good temper, I would have nothing to say, but if the one who went up was incompetent but had a very bad temper and only wanted to extract all kinds of enslavement from the people.

"One bad apple spoils the whole barrel. Are you sure those people can do good things for the people? If there are more people like this in your Han Dynasty, how dark will your court be? Can the people of your Han Dynasty still survive? If the people can't survive, won't peasant uprisings break out again?"

Zhou Jia’s biggest dissatisfaction was the selling of official positions and titles.

Of course, she was a little jealous. The fact that someone could buy it naturally meant that they had connections and power, but she was jealous because she had nothing.

As for other things, such as the grudges between Liu Ying and Lu Zhi, she didn't want to care about them. This was someone else's family affair and she had no right to say anything.

"Furthermore, you haven't been in power for very long, only seven years. In addition, the succession of Liu Heng and his son allowed the Han Dynasty to continue recuperating, so your presence is not very strong. However, among the kings who maintain the status quo, you can still occupy a place."

It's much better than those who occupy positions among tyrants and prodigals.

Liu Ying, who had already ascended the throne, remained silent for a long time.

Miaomiao briefly explained the situation in the Han Dynasty to Zhou Jia. Zhou Jia was not surprised. "Emotions are always two-way. No matter what kind of feelings they are, the Liu family's affairs are very complicated. Don't worry about them."

Just eat the melon, there is no need to get yourself into the quagmire of Han just for the sake of eating a melon.

Seeing that she was not interested, Miaomiao no longer paid attention to the Han Dynasty.

"Three months after Liu Heng ascended the throne, he immediately appointed his eldest son, Liu Qi, as crown prince, following the advice of his ministers. This became a custom. That same month, Liu Heng appointed Lady Dou as empress, who later became known as Empress Dowager Dou."

When talking about Empress Dowager Dou, Zhou Jia naturally thought of the drama from her childhood. It was that drama that made her feel that Lu Zhi was a really bad woman, and Empress Dowager Dou was really a very good woman. However, some of her later actions were not very understandable.

Zhou Jia's thoughts drifted a little far away. In a trance, she seemed to feel someone pulling her sleeve. She looked down and saw it was Long Bao.

He looked at Zhou Jia and asked, "Are you going to bring up Empress Dowager Dou and the others later? Will there be Empress Dowager Xuan?"
