(First half chapter of daily adjustments)
"My son, see the Queen Mother!"
After returning to the palace, he paid no attention to the government affairs and did not see the ministers. The first thing Liu Chengyou did was to go to Renming Hall to pay his respects to Queen Mother Li.
"Get up quickly!" Seeing Liu Chengyou saluting solemnly, Mrs. Li hurriedly helped him up and looked at him angrily. He scanned Liu Chengyou's body and said, "It'll be good when you come back."
However, he began to teach him a lesson: "When you first took over the throne, you ignored the opposition of the ministers and put down the state affairs and patrolled Luoyang westward. You were too willful. As the emperor, you shoulder the responsibility of the country. Don't be so reckless next time. You don't When I'm in Beijing, when I'm in the palace for my mother, I'm worried about her and thinking about her endlessly."
"My dear mother, I miss you." Liu Chengyou personally helped Mr. Li sit down and talked, and said: "Since I am the emperor, I care about hundreds of millions of people. If you manage and govern the country without taking into account the sentiments of the people, you are incompetent. During this western tour, we made a lot of achievements, which will be of great benefit to the governance of the country..."
"You have your own opinion, but I can't convince you." Seeing that Liu Chengyou seemed to be talking at length, Li raised her hand to stop him and said, "I can't interfere with the affairs of the government. I know you have the ambition to strengthen the country and govern it. It reminds you not to rush into anything.”
Mother's words were ringing in his ears, and while Liu Chengyou agreed, he couldn't help but think about it. It seemed that Mr. Li had also received a lot of news from the outer court. His uncle was really diligent in inviting favors from the harem. However, he has been stable enough since he succeeded to the throne. Could it be that he is in a hurry?
Seeing that Liu Chengyou was a little distracted, Mrs. Li shook her head slightly and said warmly: "You must have worked hard when you returned from your western tour, so you don't need to accompany me. Go and rest. Well... you should also go see Shu I’m pregnant, she’s about to give birth.”
"yes."
Even if Li didn't mention it, Liu Chengyou still planned to visit Geng. He still had some feelings for Geng. After all, she was the woman who had been with him the longest. She had always been well-behaved and docile, not to mention she was pregnant with a dragon seed.
Liu Chengyou suddenly visited Cuifang Hall, which surprised Geng and the palace attendants. Seeing the palace attendants busying themselves, Liu Chengyou hurriedly spoke up to prevent them from greeting them.
"Two... official family." Seeing Liu Chengyou, Geng called out weakly, with tears in her beautiful eyes, looking completely unconfident and tender.
Liu Chengyou looked around at Mrs. Geng. This woman was a little fat, her mood seemed a little depressed, and there was sadness between her eyebrows. He stared at her belly. It was as big as a cold melon and it was difficult to stand up. Geng was conceived in the seventh month last year, and she is now almost nine months old.
"You should call me Erlang." Liu Chengyou stepped forward, hugged Mr. Geng and sat down, and said softly.
"Official." Geng leaned gently on Liu Chengyou and smelled the scent of Liu Chengyou. After all, he could not say the word "Erlang".
"You are weak and need to be careful." The words of relief came from Liu Chengyou's mouth, which seemed a bit dry. However, Geng's reaction was obvious and he leaned closer to Liu Chengyou's chest.
Liu Chengyou held her hand, sighed, and said warmly: "In the past few months, I have been busy with state affairs and have no time to take care of the harem, but I have neglected you."
Hearing this, Mrs. Geng burst into tears: "I understand, I have nothing else to ask for. As long as the officials still care about me, I will be satisfied..."
Seeing this, Liu Chengyou felt a little uncomfortable for a while. He knew that Mrs. Geng was as tender as a flower, but how could he have imagined that she would be so fragile? Looking at her smiling face with pear blossoms in the rain, he could only blame it on her pregnancy. Especially near the time of childbirth, it is said that women are in bad mood at this stage, but Geng did not dare to lose his temper with Liu Chengyou.
Liu Chengyou helped her up, reached out and wiped away the tears of this delicate flower with his unfamiliar techniques, and said: "I will spend more time with you from now on. Don't cry, take good care of yourself, and give me a prince!"
"Well..." Geng responded softly and stopped crying.
After staying at Geng's place for half an hour, Liu Chengyou returned to Chui Gong Hall. Outside the hall, a slightly familiar figure was already waiting.
"I see the official!" As he approached, he immediately came forward to pay homage, his attitude and tone not respectful enough.
Liu Chengyou looked at this man with an impetuous temperament a little surprised, and called out calmly: "Uncle."
"Why is uncle looking for me? Why didn't you send someone to inform me?" Liu Chengyou asked as he entered the hall and took a seat.
Li Ye raised his eyebrows, looking a little excited, and said to Liu Chengyou: "The official family is finally back. If it's later, I'm afraid things will change in Tokyo!"
Li Ye's expression was full of anger. When he opened his mouth, he made the matter very serious and sensational, trying to arouse Liu Chengyou's vigilance.
"What happened to make uncle so angry?" Liu Chengyou simply cooperated and asked.
After hearing the question, Li Ye said directly: "The officials are patrolling the west, and I'm afraid they don't know the situation in Tokyo. If the officials are not around, Yang Bin will seize power in the court and will not tolerate the opinions of others. The Guangzheng Palace is not allowed to discuss matters. I am speaking. I am the envoy of the Southern Court of Xuanhui and the commander-in-chief of all the envoys in the department. He actually collaborated with Hu Yanke, the envoy of the North Court, to restrict my powers and prevent me from taking charge of matters."
"Arrogant and slow, even the Queen Mother doesn't pay attention to it. When the late emperor was there, Yang Bin was domineering and opposed to the housekeeper. Now, it has become even more serious, and the officials must be vigilant. Otherwise, if things go on like this, the power will be transferred to others. Completely under his control..."
Li Ye, obviously here to complain, desperately applied eye drops to Yang Xing in front of Liu Chengyou.
Liu Chengyou glanced at Li Ye, his expression became cold and he frowned.
In his heart, he sighed silently. It is estimated that the original owner was whispered in the ears by close officials such as Li Ye, and he wanted to seize power with murderous intentions, and finally ended up with the end of his life and the destruction of his country.
Liu Chengyou only listened to 30% of what Li Ye said. During Liu Chengyou's absence, Yang Bin led the ministers to stabilize the government, and he was quite conscientious. Although the government came from one side, there were many mistakes in the government, and there were many things to deal with. Discuss. With the current situation of the Han Dynasty, there is no soil for Yang Bin to have autocratic power, and there is no reason for him to be so arrogant.
Most of what Li Ye told was exaggeration, but he was bullied miserably by Yang Bin. From the very beginning, Yang Bin did not agree with Li Ye's appointment as the imperial envoy, and even despised Li Ye's move to the throne, which he did not like. When he was in charge of state affairs, Li Ye was of course nothing but a loser in front of him, and he was not allowed to interfere in state affairs at all.
As for Li Ye, who had always been favored by the Queen Mother, he could not bear the injustice and sued Li. However, it was not easy for the Li family to meddle rashly in the affairs of the outer court, so she just kept silent and asked Li Ye to keep a low profile. Without his biggest backer, Li Ye could only hold back and wait until Liu Chengyou returned to Beijing.
In fact, Li Ye misunderstood Yang Bin a little bit. His authority was infringed upon, but it was actually because of Liu Chengyou's secret instructions. Liu Chengyou himself didn't trust Li Ye, because as the envoy of Xuanhui Academy, he only gave Li a face.
Of course, during Liu Chengyou's tour to the west, the Tokyo court was indeed not very stable. Things in Xijing also affected the political situation in Tokyo. News kept coming, especially after Su Fengji was imprisoned, people's hearts became excited.
And Yang Bin did make a move to seize power. He and Su Fengji had never gotten along, and Su Fengji's downfall made him both surprised and secretly happy. In Tokyo, a large number of officials were dismissed and investigated, all of whom were Su Fengji's party members. Most of those people, who were affiliated with the party and Su Fengji, were bad officials.
In fact, it was Liu Chengyou who planned to clean up, and Yang Bin did it ahead of Liu Chengyou, saving him a lot of effort and adding some "income" to the national treasury. Su Fengji had sold his official position before, and those who could afford it had to have some family property.
At the same time, it also attracted a wave of hatred. If Shi Hongzhao and Yang Bin didn't have the previous conflicts, they would be quite good at doing things to attract hatred.
Regarding Li Ye's slander in front of him this time, Liu Chengyou was quite tolerant, but he still tried to appease him with a sullen face: "Uncle has been wronged. Let's go back and rest first. I will reprimand Yang Bin." "
"If the officials don't rectify Yang Bin, the country will be ruined! Please make plans early." Hearing this, Li Ye was a little dissatisfied and asked immediately.
Seeing this, Liu Chengyou was also a little impatient. He raised his hand to stop him and said in a deep voice: "Uncle. Yang Xiang is the prime minister of the country. How can I easily accuse him because of my words?"
"Su Fengji is also a prime minister, so he's going to jail as well..." Li Ye muttered.
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou's beautiful mother frowned and stared at him.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. Li Ye raised his eyes to look at Liu Chengyou, but seeing his sinister eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He finally became more honest and lowered his head slightly.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Liu Chengyou said: "Uncle is my relative. When you are in power, you and your officials should support each other and take care of the country and the country together!"
"yes!"
Li Ye was very disappointed when he failed to achieve his goal. He resigned in low spirits and headed towards Renming Hall again without thinking.
Liu Chengyou, on his side, was still thinking about the situation in the DPRK, and after hearing the news there, his face was a little unnatural.
"This person always goes to the Queen Mother, it's really annoying." Liu Chengyou muttered secretly, his tone was a little cold.
Mrs. Li is really a wise queen mother and a loving mother, and Liu Chengyou respects her very much. However, thinking of his partial preference for Li Ye, Liu Chengyou inevitably felt a little "afraid".
He has been developing this filial character for a long time, and he really doesn't hope that one day his incompetent uncle will affect the relationship between mother and son.
