Emperor Liu could guess the reason why Yang Ye did not come to the memorial. He was a man who obeyed orders. As long as the situation was not particularly serious and the impact was not particularly bad, he would not be like those people who would make rash remarks and treat Liu The emperor dictates policies.
But Zhao Pu was different. Emperor Liu was completely unsure of what this old fox was thinking. In fact, Emperor Liu has been unsure of Zhao Pu's thoughts since Zhao Pu paid homage to the prime minister for the second time. Perhaps the so-called perceptiveness and insight into people's hearts in the past were just his own subjective conjectures.
But now, Emperor Liu is a little unsure. The old man Zhao Pu has re-established himself in the court in a completely different manner from the past. It can be said that he has no desires and is strong. Dragging his old body all the way back to Beijing to accept the phase is in itself It means that he continues to pursue power and status. If he has other ideas, during the period of presiding over the reform, he was indeed conscientious and down-to-earth. He did many things and offended many people, especially those nobles who dismissed him. and internal and external bureaucracy.
In Emperor Liu's eyes, Zhao Pu seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, making it difficult to fathom. According to his expectation, Zhao Pu was on the list, clearly opposed to the enfeoffment, and tried his best to dissuade him, but he could accept it. It was not like Old Zhao had never done this kind of thing before. But he happened not to say a word. A few words from Mr. Zhao were worth the pile of memorials on the imperial case.
As he was thinking about it, Emperor Liu couldn't help but glance at the imperial court. In his eyes, those strange and sinister remarks were as disturbing as the moaning of mosquitoes and the barking of dogs. Emperor Liu did not deny that there were many good ministers and wise men among the people who were dedicated to serving the public and worrying about the country and the king, but how many such people could there be.
More often than not, there were some villains with bad intentions, ulterior motives, and fueling the flames. Of course, this was just Emperor Liu's own suspicion and speculation. He felt that these people were against him and disobeying his will. In this turbulent crowd, he once again felt the challenge to the imperial power. Maybe someone was bullying him for his old age...
When Emperor Liu's thinking shifted to the conflict between imperial power and ministerial power, the issue of overseas enfeoffment itself was no longer the only core of the matter, and things took a turn for the worse...
After pondering for a while, when the atmosphere in the palace was almost breathless, Emperor Liu spoke again and ordered Song Zhun: "Go to Zhao Pu and ask a few questions for me. First, Shangyuan Xiu Mu should be eating hungry, resting from hard work, and cultivating one's moral character. However, there is a raging public sentiment. After listening to some rumors, he will pick up rumors and make false comments on state affairs. What's worse, he will spread rumors and confuse people's hearts. There is such impetuousness in the court. How can he be the prime minister? Yes, is this how you coordinate with others?
Secondly, I heard that his Zhao family also has relatives and old followers who are prospecting for gold and mining overseas. I wonder how much profit they have made over the years? "
After listening to Emperor Liu's instructions, Song Zhun was a little shaken. He couldn't help but raised his hand and confirmed to Emperor Liu: "Your Majesty, is this a question?"
After glancing at Song Zhun's words from the corner of his eye, Emperor Liu put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "You don't need to rephrase your words. Just ask me what I said!"
"Yes!" Song Zhun quickly responded and did not dare to ask any more questions. He could also see that His Majesty seemed to be dissatisfied with Old Xianggong Zhao.
The second prime minister, Mr. Zhao, the spokesperson of the two major groups, the bureaucrats and the nobility, was also suspected by the old emperor... The water in the upper echelon of this big man was really deep, and the changes in the situation were really unpredictable, which was frightening, at least for Song Zhun. , I gained a lot of knowledge and became more cautious.
"Reporting to the official family, Concubine Hui is outside the palace asking for an audience!" After Song Zhun left, the servants in the palace came to report.
"What's she doing here?" Emperor Liu frowned subconsciously, his eyes flashed, and he said, "She's missing! Let her go back!"
Emperor Liu returned to the imperial desk, frowned, and couldn't help but continue to read the rest of the memorials. However, this time, he no longer paid attention to what the ministers said, but tried his best to guess what they had said. The purpose and the hidden meaning in the words...
Before she finished reading this chapter, the chamberlain came again and reported tremblingly. Concubine Hui refused to leave and insisted on meeting the emperor. Emperor Liu was instantly angry about this, but after thinking about it, he still said with a straight face: "Xuan!"
Not long after, Concubine Fu Hui walked in. Time is like a knife, and it ruthlessly left many marks on Xiao Fu's face. After all, she was already fifty and six years old, with a few gray hairs, a few wrinkles, and sagging skin. , sagging breasts... However, that graceful and luxurious posture once allowed Emperor Liu to see the shadow of Queen Fu, and a little anger in his heart dissipated.
Concubine Hui came forward, looked at Emperor Liu, bowed, knelt down slowly, took out a silk handkerchief, and just cried there without saying a word...
Emperor Liu was stunned by this performance, but he quickly came to his senses and his expression turned gloomy again. However, Emperor Liu also remained silent for a while, just staring at her silently and watching her performance.
A woman's crying can sometimes be very lethal. At least Emperor Liu's original "heart still" was made a little restless by her. After all, Emperor Liu couldn't help but scolded: "How is it appropriate to come up to this palace and cry? I'm not dead yet! When will I die, you'll come to mourn me again!"
Facing Emperor Liu's "evil" words, Concubine Fu Hui's expression froze slightly, but after a short pause, she cried louder, but still couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, Emperor Liu had nothing to do with her for a while. After thinking about it, his tone softened a bit, and he asked in a deep voice: "What do you want?"
After hearing this, Concubine Hui stopped her tearful attack, looked up at Emperor Liu, and asked sadly: "Why are the officials so cruel that they want our mother and son to stay far apart and separate our flesh and blood? The officials have already robbed me of one You have a son, and you want to take away another one?”
Obviously, Concubine Fu Hui came here because of the enfeoffment matter, and for the sake of the fifteenth prince Liu Han. Concubine Fu Hui had two sons and one daughter. The eldest daughter Liu Jia had been married to Li Jilong for a long time. Over the years, they had been married to each other. When Li Jilong went to Anxi to take up a post, he also followed her. She had not seen her all year round.
Although Laojiu Liu Shu often lives in Beijing, he has also lived his own life since opening his mansion. In the past twenty years, the person who has truly accompanied her and is most loved by her is naturally her youngest son Liu Yan.
From Concubine Fu Hui's point of view, she certainly would not understand Emperor Liu's "good intentions and grand ambitions." When she heard that the country was to be sealed off, or to be sealed off to overseas islands with harsh environments and barbarians, she quickly Exploded.
Is this enfeoffment or exile? Why was Emperor Liu so cruel? How could Liu Shan carve out a world in that barbaric place when he had not yet reached the throne and was not as experienced and experienced as his brothers?
Danger, pain, and separation, when these elements were swirling in Concubine Fu Hui's mind, she naturally could not just sit idly by and find Emperor Liu as the "culprit" directly. Before coming, she had done enough homework and at least found Liu Shan. "New Korea" was nowhere on the map, and the result made her even more frightened, angry, and frightened. This was no longer an exile, it was like being thrown into the eighteenth level of hell. How could she have such a cruel father...
In the Chui Gong Hall, Concubine Hui's crying continued, but Emperor Liu felt a little dizzy. Seeing that she was acting like a woman, Emperor Liu was very upset because of the woman's shallow knowledge. What was even more upset was that he couldn't even say "woman" "People's opinions" are somewhat reprimanded and cannot be spoken.
"Okay!" Emperor Liu interrupted Fu Huifei again, frowned, lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and asked: "After complaining so much, what do you want?"
After hearing this, Concubine Hui became more energetic and stopped crying and wiping her tears. She raised her head and said, "The official family wants to seal the country. I have no objection, but Liu Shan wants to stay in the middle of the capital!"
"Haha!" Emperor Liu heard this and immediately sneered twice: "He wants to seal the country, but he is unwilling to work hard. Since ancient times, has he been able to get the foundation he has been waiting for? He is staying in the capital, watching, and waiting, so that Others work hard for him to start a business, is there such a good thing in the world?"
