Wei Wan waited in the tea room for a long time before Liu Che came in with a happy face.

Liu Che was in a good mood because the queen was pregnant with a dragon child. Seeing Wei Wan, he sat down and smiled, "Teacher, sit down, don't stand."

Wei Wan knelt down to pay respects, and said: "The old minister first congratulates Your Majesty."

Liu Che knew that Wei Wan must have heard from the palace servants at Jiaofang Palace, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Wan himself, and said, "Why does Taifu need to see such a great gift, come and sit down."

As he spoke, he asked Wei Wan to sit on the edge of the couch, and sat down himself.

Wei Wan said: "Originally, the old minister shouldn't disturb His Majesty's rest, but His Majesty was in a hurry to leave early, and the old minister's affairs are also urgent, so I can only disturb you, and I hope His Majesty will not blame you."

Liu Che said: "Teacher and I are so alien, you are my teacher, why don't you bother?"

Wei Wan nodded with a smile, and suddenly said seriously: "Your Majesty, do you know that although the Empress Dowager is in Lishan, her ears and eyes are in this palace. Yesterday, the Empress Dowager sent someone to speak to the old minister, although Nothing serious, but…”

When Liu Che heard this, he frowned, sneered, and said, "The old lady is resting in Tangquan Palace, and she still has time to send a message to the Taifu. Who is the emperor in this big man's world?"

Seeing that he was angry, Wei Wan persuaded: "Your Majesty, you are seventeen years old today. According to the order of your ancestors, it is not yet time to be crowned. Do you know why the late emperor was seriously ill when he was alive? Are you crowning yourself?"

When Liu Che heard him mention his father, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. At that time, the late emperor would have given him the crowning ceremony in front of all the officials even though he was sick.

Wei Wan sighed: "Because the late emperor knew that His Majesty was still young, he was afraid that the ministers would not accept him, and he was afraid that His Majesty would not be able to bear the burden. This is the way that the late Emperor paved for His Majesty. At the same time, the late Emperor also knew His Majesty's heart." , put half of the Tiger Talisman in the hands of the Empress Dowager, and the other half is in the army. The former Emperor entrusted it to the Empress Dowager because he was afraid that Your Majesty would use his troops loyally. It has always been impossible to do anything without military power. Now the Emperor has no Tiger Talisman in his hands. It is natural to be controlled by others everywhere, and the words of the Empress Dowager carry weight."

Liu Che didn't speak, but he was still unconvinced in his heart. He was indeed young, but Liu Che felt in his heart that his talents and knowledge were no less than anyone else's, and he didn't need anyone's support, nor did he need the empress dowager to sit in charge and supervise the country.

It's just that Emperor Jing has been a king for so many years, and he is finally Liu Che's father. Liu Che is still very clear. Liu Che is only 17 years old today. His talent is not inferior to anyone, and his achievements are also high. It was the age of meritorious deeds, and it was also the age when a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. Emperor Jing was afraid that this loyal young emperor would use his troops wantonly.

This is indeed the case. Liu Che is more than smart and has a high spirit, but he is not calm enough and has too little experience.

Liu Che said: "Then according to the Taifu, the Empress Dowager has already spoken, what should I do now?"

Wei Wan was silent for a while, then slowly raised her head to look at Liu Che, and said, "Nowadays, there is a cabinet in the court, and there are three princes and nine officials. Empty the Sangong, the officials will write a letter to the old minister, and then the old minister will distribute the affairs, the big matter will be discussed in the early morning, and the small matter will be sent directly to various places... Your Majesty, evacuating the Sangong is tantamount to evacuating the Dou family. The Empress Dowager is sure I won’t agree. This time I’m warning the old minister, I’m afraid that in the future…”

After Wei Wan finished speaking, she paused and said, "There is only one way."

Liu Che looked at him and said, "What's the solution? It doesn't matter if Taifu says it, as long as it's something I can do."

Wei Wan said: "Your Majesty, please allow the old minister to retire and return home."

Liu Che was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, with a downcast face, and said, "What is the solution? Isn't the Taifu afraid? Do you remember how you taught me before? Now the Empress Dowager coughed, and the Taifu I'm about to leave alone, and I'm going to dethrone all schools of thought and only respect Confucianism, so why don't I give up!"

Wei Wan hurriedly got up, knelt down on the ground, knocked her head on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, please think about it... Your Majesty, think about it, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, it is a treacherous minister like an old minister who misleads your majesty, and it is someone like an old minister who misleads your majesty." The treacherous minister has taken control of the government. As long as the old minister leaves, the Empress Dowager will be at peace. After all, you are connected by blood with the Empress Dowager. If the old lady is calm, all problems will be solved. Your Majesty, it is a good thing to have great ambitions, and it is also a good thing to make reforms. But you can’t rush for quick success in everything.”

Liu Che just lowered his head and stared at Wei Wan who was kneeling on the ground. He was young and naturally knew Wei Wan's painstaking efforts in his heart, but Liu Che also felt that he had painstaking efforts. He became the emperor but had no military power. He wanted to do something unusual. However, he was thwarted by his grandma, and now his most respected Tai Tuo is also forced to resign from his old age and return to his hometown.

Liu Che knew that after Wei Wan left, there were still many Confucian scholars, and there were still Zhao Wan and Wang Zang in the court, both of whom were great Confucians, but he just didn't understand why Wei Wan was afraid of the old lady, Wei Wan had been on the battlefield , who have fought wars.

The atmosphere suddenly became stalemate, Wei Wan kept kneeling on the ground despite his age, Liu Che didn't let him get up, didn't speak, just stared at him with narrowed eyes.

Ying Zheng heard that Liu Che was going to see Wei Wan. This Wei Wan had a very high reputation. He had heard of it too. A general who had been on the battlefield became Liu Che's tutor only after retiring from the battlefield. Since Liu Che was still the crown prince's It can be said that most of Liu Che's knowledge comes from Wei Wan.

Ying Zheng was a little curious about why Wei Wan came to see Liu Che at this time. It stands to reason that he had just attended the early court, and everything would be dealt with at the early court. If he couldn't say it in front of the ministers, it must be Ying Zheng's interest. of.

Ying Zheng waited for Liu Che to leave for a while, then got up and went to the tea room.

He stood outside the door, the door was not closed, and he could hear clearly what was said inside. Wei Wan worked hard and knelt down to bow Liu Che's head. Liu Che didn't speak, and there was no sound for a while.

Ying Zheng had already heard what they said, and he sneered in his heart. What kind of luck did Liu Che have? Wei Wan is obviously a fool, a loyal fool.

The Empress Dowager wanted to die alone, so she could solve it by resigning her old age and returning home. In fact, Wei Wan wanted Liu Cheen to allow him to resign. It was just a talk, but Liu Che didn't understand. Wan didn't want to point it out either.

What's more, when talking about such a big event, Liu Che didn't hold back. It was because he was afraid that the Empress Dowager would not know.

Ying Zheng had some thoughts in his mind, and immediately stepped in.

Liu Che didn't expect Ying Zheng to come. Seeing him coming in, he hurried over to help him, helped Ying Zheng to sit down cautiously, and said, "Why are you here? Be careful."

It was good that Ying Zheng didn't listen to his mention, but when he heard him mention it, his heart was on fire, and he felt so uncomfortable that he had to pretend to thank His Majesty for his concern.

Wei Wan didn't expect the empress to come. After all, the queen is also a member of the Dou family. Wei Wan didn't know that the queen had changed her body long ago, and suddenly her heart was half cold.

Ying Zheng dismissed the palace servants with a wave of his hand, watched the palace servants close the door, and then said, "Your Majesty, Wei Wan is your grand tutor, it's not a problem to always kneel on the ground, is it?"

Only then did Liu Che remember, and said awkwardly: "Teacher, please get up."

Wei Wan thanked her, stood up and staggered a bit, Ying Zheng said to Liu Che, "I didn't intend to eavesdrop, but I accidentally heard what the Tutor said, and I was very moved."

"Oh?" Liu Che said, "Why is the queen moved?"

Ying Zheng looked at Wei Wan and said slowly, "Your Majesty, based on what you know about the Empress Dowager, if the Empress Dowager identifies a person as a thorn in her side, will he be safe and sound?"

Liu Che said: "Although the old lady is usually kind, she is also a neat person."

"That's it." Ying Zheng said: "The Tai Tuo is the thorn in the side. May I ask which old man doesn't bear a grudge against the person who brought his grandson into trouble? In the eyes of the old lady, Huang Lao's learning is an inherited ancestral system, and Your Majesty But to dethrone a hundred schools of thought and only respect Confucianism, isn't this the master who led the emperor into ruin? Do you think it is possible for the Taifu to resign from office and return to his hometown?"

Liu Che was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned to look at Wei Wan who was standing aside. Wei Wan didn't speak, but was a little moved.

Yingzheng said again: "The Tai Tuo has been with the Emperor for many years, and there is no merit but hard work. Let the Tai Tuo be allowed to return to his hometown earlier, so that the Emperor will let the Tai Tuo go, and the old lady will not be able to make it through."

Liu Che didn't say anything, just turned his back and finally nodded.

Wei Wan immediately knelt down and bowed her head to thank her.

When Wei Wan came out, she heard someone calling herself from behind, and when she turned around, it turned out to be the empress.

The other party wanted to salute, but was stopped by Ying Zheng, who smiled and said, "Congratulations to the Grand Tutor for his retirement."

Wei Wan smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty is laughing, but the work has not yet been accomplished."

Ying Zheng said: "Should the Taifu thank me for what happened just now?"

"This……"

Wei Wan felt a little hesitant. After all, the queen was from the Dou family, and it was strange to speak for herself just now. Sure enough, she wanted to ask for something from herself at this time.

Ying Zheng said: "Actually, it's not difficult, and I don't want to make it difficult for you. I just ask a question."

"Mother, please speak."

Yingzheng said: "The Grand Tutor thinks that the world should be safe now."

Wei Wan lowered her head, was silent for a while, and said, "Hegemony wins the world, and Confucianism rules the world. Huang Lao must have the art of strange soldiers."

After he finished speaking, before Ying Zheng could speak again, he bowed again, took two steps back, turned and walked away.

Ying Zheng was shocked when he heard his three words, and couldn't help laughing secretly. Wei Wan is indeed a talent, but he is too foolish and loyal.

Ying Zheng kept watching Wei Wan go away, Liu Che saw that he hadn't returned for a long time, so he came out to look for someone, and said, "Why are you standing here, you are very expensive now, you can't blow the cool wind, go back and lie down."

Just as Liu Che was about to support Ying Zheng to go back, the servant stepped forward and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty Liu Qian, Prince of Huainan, will see you."

"Liu Qian?"

Liu Che didn't know who it was at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized that it was the handsome young man he saw at the Queen Mother's place that day.

Thinking of the short meeting that day, and then being reprimanded by the Queen Mother for not allowing him to provoke Liu Qian, I didn't expect to meet again now, but Liu Che was happy with that handsome appearance.

Yingzheng caught a glimpse of Liu Che's joyful expression, and just said coolly, "Prince Huainan, didn't you let the princes go back to their fiefs a few days ago, why did Liu Qian not obey the emperor's order and stay in the capital? "

As soon as he said this, Liu Che suddenly forgot about his dream. Someone actually ignored his imperial decree?
