Renming Hall, the Empress Dowager's bedroom, was served by twenty-four chamberlains, which already accounted for one-tenth of the number of people in the entire palace. It was evident that the Han Palace was sparsely populated. This was after entering Bian, Liu Zhiyuan successively recruited some people to serve in the palace.
Mr. Li is kind and generous. On weekdays, she is gentle and kind, so the people she serves in the palace are relatively relaxed.
"The officials are here!" However, with the loud singing, the palace maids and eunuchs who were originally relaxed inside and outside Renming Palace immediately became nervous. Liu Chengyou was still the king of Zhou, and his stern face could already intimidate everyone. Not to mention that now that he has become the emperor, he cannot be neglected.
Passing through the crowd of saluting palace attendants, Liu Chengyou quickly walked directly into the palace.
In the hall, Li was chatting with Da Fu, Gao and Geng. Of the three women, Da Fu is the queen, and she comes from a famous family with a strong family; although the Gao family is also a general, she is always shorter because of her remarriage; the Geng family has been with Liu Chengyou for the longest time, and she is pregnant. , the belly is already round...
However, towards her three daughters-in-law, Mrs. Li seemed very fair and did not show any bias in her words because of her inner preference. In addition, with the eldest princess Yongning beside her, the atmosphere seemed harmonious. However, Liu Chengxun, who was beside him, was suffering. He was bored, but he was much quieter. He had not recovered from the pain of losing his father, and he was not as free as before.
When he heard the announcement, everyone stood up to greet him. Liu Chengyou only glanced around, waved his hand to everyone, and then respectfully paid homage to Mrs. Li first.
It was almost noon, and Li held a small family banquet in the palace and invited Liu Chengyou to come, which temporarily freed him from the heavy military and political affairs.
"Sister is here too?"
"Official family." Duke Yongning responded politely.
The eldest princess is very beautiful. She is already a wife and mother. She exudes the charm of a young woman. Song Yanwo is very blessed... The relationship between the two siblings is actually limited to blood. There is no in-depth relationship in daily life. comminicate.
"Is it inappropriate to eat such fish during a national mourning period?" However, looking at the "full fish feast", Liu Chengyou frowned slightly and looked at Mr. Li.
"You have been working hard on state affairs these days, and I have lost a lot of weight. It is time for me to replenish your weight." Li pointed at Liu Chengyou's increasingly sharp face and said warmly: "If anyone in the outer court criticizes him, let him come to me." ! If your father is a weirdo, I will personally apologize to him a hundred years later."
After Mrs. Li had spoken, Liu Chengyou stopped holding it and joined the banquet together. The fish is mandarin fish that is new to the market this season. The meat is tender and delicious, with less spines and more meat. Drink fish soup and eat fish meat. Despite Liu Chengyou's reserved mouth, he is very honest physically and eats well.
In order to set an example, during this period of time, he has really lived like an ascetic. While chewing the fish meat, Liu Chengyou glanced at Mrs. Li who was personally spooning soup for Liu Chengxun. The kindness on his lips touched his heart. He guessed that this "full fish feast" was specially prepared for him.
"I don't know how many people in Tokyo can taste the delicious mandarin fish..." Liu Chengyou sighed with emotion as he stopped his chopsticks.
After saying this, the man next to him immediately wrote down his words. This shows that the emperor did not forget to worry about the people while eating, which is the sigh of a wise king...
"Erlang."
After the banquet, Mrs. Li called Liu Chengyou to the inner hall alone, with a rare serious expression.
"What did my mother teach me?" Liu Chengyou looked at Mr. Li, a little confused.
"Yang Ping came into the palace early in the morning to say hello to me," said Li.
Frowning his brows, Liu Chengyou asked, "What did he say?"
Li's phoenix eyebrows also frowned slightly and said: "He intends to resign and become an official."
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou narrowed his eyes, his thoughts changed slightly, but he choked slightly. If this Yang Shuxiang wants to resign and become an official, he can just ask him directly. Go to the palace and tell Li what's going on. You must know that although Liu Chengyou is the young master, the Han Dynasty is not the queen mother overseeing the country.
Seeing Liu Chengyou contemplating there, Mrs. Li sighed softly and said, "Erlang, I shouldn't be involved in the affairs of the outer court. Although there are some conflicts between you and Prime Minister Yang, they are not irreconcilable. The country's affairs are ups and downs, and there are thorns everywhere. , you are the new heir, and the superiors and subordinates are not yet convinced. At this time, the most important thing is to stabilize the government. Yang Xiang has followed your father for many years, and he has also put a lot of effort into the founding of the Han Dynasty. If he has made mistakes, you should do more. Tolerance, the monarch and his ministers are united and weather the difficulties..."
Mrs. Li was already a bit interested in getting involved in politics, but seeing her face and eyes full of worry for him, it was hard for Liu Chengyou to feel unhappy about it. After thinking about it, he saluted him: "My mother taught me, and my son knows it!"
I knew that Liu Chengyou had always had his own opinions, not to mention that now that he was the emperor, there was no need for him to give advice. Seeing Liu Chengyou's calm performance, Li sighed silently in her heart, but she also knew that she couldn't say anything more.
"I am busy with government affairs and have no time to visit Renming Hall and serve in front of the Queen Mother. You should go to Renming Hall frequently on weekdays to accompany the Queen Mother and fulfill your filial piety for me!" After leaving Renming Hall, Liu Chengyou ordered Queen Fu.
Da Fu was slightly stunned when he heard the words, feeling a little strange, but he still responded very gently and was very happy to do so. Everyone knows that Liu Chengyou is extremely filial to his maid, and asking her to accompany him to fulfill her filial piety is obviously an act of doting on her.
When he returned to Chui Gong Hall, Liu Chengyou's expression was actually gloomy.
He didn't dare or didn't want to be dissatisfied with the Queen Mother Li, so the unhappiness in his heart could only be transferred to Yang Bin. Although the time since taking over the throne has been short, Liu Chengyou has temporarily put aside his actions against Yang Bin and wants to make a smooth transition.
Before and after he ascended the throne, I thought that Yang Bin had been completely suppressed, but unexpectedly, under the heavy suppression, this man actually had another idea and wanted to involve the Queen Mother restlessly. That is to say, Li Shi has a clear sense of justice, otherwise the Queen Mother's policies would definitely be a troublesome matter for Liu Chengyou.
It involves filial piety, personal issues, and most importantly, the stability of the court...
Tapping his index finger under his leg, Liu Chengyou frowned and thought deeply. He was hesitating whether to summon Wang Jingchong or not.
"Officials, the generals of the Forbidden Army are here!" While thinking, the chamberlain came to report.
After hearing the report, Liu Chengyou had no choice but to suppress his thoughts for the time being, calm down his spirit, and ordered: "Xuan!"
The senior generals of the Forbidden Army were received by Liu Chengyou on the day he succeeded to the throne. This time, it was targeted at senior officers at the military command, Yuhou, and Xiangzhi levels under the Guards Department. They were the front-line commanders of the 130,000 Tokyo Forbidden Forces.
Dozens of Forbidden Army generals made the Chui Gong Hall a bit crowded, but Liu Chengyou called out their names one by one in a serious yet frank manner.
Those present included former generals from Hedong, generals of the emperor such as Sun Li and Han Tong, and of course former generals from the "Jin Army". Basically, Liu Chengyou can name everyone.
"Everyone, sit down!"
After the "roll call", Liu Chengyou took the lead, walked out of the hall and sat on the ground. Outside the palace, the sun is just right and the spring light is bright. It is much more comfortable than the restraint and depression in the palace. This natural and intimate performance not only made the generals feel novel, but they were also inevitably affected by his magnanimity.
At the same time, people were ordered to serve tea to everyone, and then the first "symposium" between the Han Emperor and the senior generals of the Forbidden Army was officially held.
"When I first arrived at Chenji, I was troubled by many things. It was only now that I summoned the generals..."
Basically, Liu Chengyou was talking. In front of the generals, he rarely spoke more. He recalled the hard work of starting a business, lamented the difficult times, encouraged the generals to perform their duties, and looked forward to the future of the Han Dynasty... Basically, this is the set . Facing the emperor's instructions, all the senior generals listened attentively and did not doze off at all.
Then there was a free conversation, in which everyone expressed their opinions, expressed their thoughts, and put forward some suggestions. The generals were a little uncomfortable with this at first, especially when they saw special officials taking notes. The big bosses wisely kept their mouths shut and listened rather than speaking to avoid making a fool of themselves.
In the end, this "symposium" evolved into a discussion of the Guanzhong War against Shu. In this regard, everyone's interest is obviously stronger.
It lasted from noon until noon, and then it ended and the generals retreated. For the time being, Liu Chengyou does not expect loyalty from these generals. That is really unrealistic. However, it is still possible to get closer to them and deepen the impression of Liu Chengyou, the emperor, in their minds.
Among these generals, there are still many talented people, who are wise, courageous or brave. In addition to Liu Ci, Wang Yin, and Du Hanhui, there are also Wang Quanbin, Wang Yanchao, Shi Yanchao and others.
In this era, there are really many people named "Yanchao". There is Murong Yanchao in Yunzhou, and there is Zhang Yanchao in Yanzhou...
In addition, there was a general named Zhao Hongyin.
