[Ying Zheng + Dahan Emperor] Golden House
Chapter 38 Love
Liu Fang watched Liu Che get into the car, she didn't expect the emperor to ignore her as if he didn't understand.
Li Yannian is also a smart person, how could he fail to see the meaning of Hejian Wang Wengzhu, he laughed secretly in his heart, but he didn't delay his action at all, he immediately bowed forward and said with an apologetic smile: "Please wait a moment, Wengzhu."
Liu Fang glanced at Li Yannian, but Li Yannian just pretended not to see, and ordered the servants who followed him to prepare the horses and chariots.
Liu Fang watched helplessly as Liu Che boarded the chariot, and the slave rode away in the emperor's chariot.
The servant quickly prepared the chariot and horses, and invited Liu Fang to get in the chariot. Liu Fang was annoyed in her heart, but she couldn't show it, so she boarded the chariot angrily and sat down.
Qi Nu drove the car, Liu Fang thought that it would be bad if the emperor had arrived at the Jiaofang Hall early, and went to love the queen again, so she lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Hurry up, catch up to the front."
The riding slave didn't dare to say anything, just said: "No." That's all, he ran quickly.
Yujia was very smooth all the way, so Liu Fang's car quickly rushed over and followed behind.
When Yu Jia stopped, he happened to see Wei Qing walking from the direction of Jiaofang Hall, the servant opened the curtain of the car, Liu Che came out from inside, Wei Qing hurried forward to salute.
Liu Che said, "You are here."
Wei Qing met Liu Che and said, "Yes, the humble general just paid a visit to the empress."
Liu Che brushed off his clothes and said, "Have you gone to Jiaofang Hall?"
Wei Qing said respectfully: "No, the humble general is a slave, and he didn't dare to go to the Jiaofang Hall to disturb the queen's rest. The humble general was near the garden just now, and happened to see the empress taking a walk. Because the humble general accepted the recommendation of the queen, he did not go to see her. , seems inappropriate."
Liu Che nodded, then smiled and said, "Wei Qing, you are just too cautious."
As he spoke, he patted Wei Qing on the shoulder and said, "It's not been a day or two since you have been with me. You don't need to be so cautious in doing things. No one will punish you."
Wei Qing said: "Although it is said so, there are differences between monarchs and ministers."
Liu Che smiled again, and didn't try to argue with Wei Qing about the difference between monarch and minister. In fact, in Liu Che's heart, he already regarded Wei Qing as his confidant. After all, he hardly had any confidantes now, but he did have a few Confucian confidants during the transformation. , his teacher Wei Wan was forced to resign by the Empress Dowager, and Wang Zang and Zhao Wan were also great Confucian scholars in the world, so they ended up "suicide in fear of crime" in prison.
Liu Che was too young, and he always brought his own feelings into politics, which made his politics destined to lead to tragedy, and also pushed those confidantes into the abyss.
Since Wang Zang and Zhaowan died, Liu Che no longer had any confidants, so he treated Wei Qing with extra sincerity. Wei Qing was different from Wang Zang and Zhaowan. If you back yourself up, you will be bold and decisive, which is why Wei Qing can be safe and sound in the palace.
Liu Fang felt the car stop, she waited, after all, she was a girl's family, she thought the emperor would come to help her out of the car, but Liu Che's laughter seemed to come from outside, and she didn't know who she was chatting with.
Liu Fang got impatient waiting, so she asked the servant to open the curtain and got out of the car by herself.
Liu Fang immediately put on a smile, stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, who is this lord?"
Liu Che said casually, "This is Wei Qing, my supervisor Jianzhang."
Liu Fang laughed and said, "So it's General Wei Qing."
Wei Qing didn't know who the other party was, and he hadn't heard the emperor mention it, so he didn't know how to return the gift.
Liu Che didn't seem to want Wei Qing to return the gift at all, and said, "Okay, Wei Qing, go down first."
Wei Qing responded and left in a hurry.
Only then did Liu Che go to the Jiaofang Hall, Li Yannian quickly followed the emperor and asked the servants around him to pass on the news.
As soon as Ying Zheng returned to the Jiaofang Hall, a servant hurried over, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor is here, and he has already arrived at the gate of the hall."
The servant thought for a while, and then added, "Hejian King Wengzhu is also with me."
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "I'm sorry, Chu Fu, take him to get some rewards."
The servant immediately smiled, didn't even dare to say anything, but followed Chu Fu obediently.
Liu Che arrived soon, Liu Fang followed behind, Ying Zheng stepped forward to salute, Liu Che hurried over to support him to prevent him from bending over, and said, "Come on, sit down quickly, don't hurt yourself."
Seeing the nervous look of the emperor's baby, Liu Fang couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. Although Liu Fang didn't necessarily like Liu Che that much, but Liu Fang's purpose was to make the current emperor obsessed with her, so as to consolidate the status of Hejian King , consolidated his father's status, wouldn't he also have status as the lord.
Since the Rebellion of the Seven Kings, the status of the princes and kings was different from before, and it was much weaker than before. Especially since Liu Che ascended the throne, he ordered all the princes and kings to return to their fiefs, and ordered all fiefs not to set up checkpoints without authorization, and the city gates must be opened.
This approach made all the princes and kings panic. Who knows what the young emperor will do next, isn't it obvious that they don't believe these princes.
Among these vassals, there are quite a few kings with the surname Liu, and Huainan King Liu An is the most powerful. Huainan King also has a brother, and the combined power of the two cannot be underestimated.
This made the other princes feel uneasy. Although the King of Hejian looks honest and has not made many achievements, he is determined not to have the heart of treason and rebellion, but who wants to consolidate their power and make the emperor think highly of themselves? Get some extra money by the way.
King Hejian's sons are not up to the challenge, but this little daughter is young, but she has a serious mind, and no brother is her opponent.
Liu Fang felt that she had to be good-looking and scheming, not to lose to men at all, and the emperor had always had a reputation for being beautiful, so Liu Fang was naturally thinking about this.
Liu Fang put on a smile at the moment, stepped forward to salute Ying Zheng, and said with a smile, "Sister Empress Sheng'an, Liu Fang greets you."
Ying Zheng was supported by Liu Che to sit down. On the one hand, his body was really getting more and more inconvenient. On the other hand, he also deliberately put on a show to show Liu Fang. So many gifts."
Liu Fang was trying to be close, and wanted to be called a sister, but Ying Zheng didn't show any face at all, and she lost all face.
Liu Fang stood up in embarrassment, paused, and smiled again: "How is the Queen's sister? My sister greeted the Empress Dowager in the East Palace, and the old man talked about the Queen's sister whenever he talked, so Liu Fang begged the emperor's brother to take me. Let's go see my sister."
Ying Zheng just smiled and said: "Thank you, Lord Hejian, for your concern. I have always been in good health, but I can't hear the noise. When there are too many people, my heart starts to panic. I don't know what's wrong...Look, it's like now .”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Che said, "A-Jiao, are you flustered? Why don't you call the imperial doctor to come and see?"
Ying Zheng said: "It's not a big problem, as long as there is no noise, it's fine."
Hearing what he said, Liu Fang was so angry that anyone with ears could tell that he thought he was too noisy, which made him flustered.
But the emperor just loves him so much.
Liu Fang's purpose in coming here was to meet the Empress Empress, to find out the truth, who knew that she had touched her nose as soon as she came, thinking in her heart, it would be inconvenient to entangle her any more today, it would be a bad start, maybe the more she talked, the worse she would be. Can't get any benefits.
Liu Fang said immediately: "Since the Queen's sister is not feeling well, then Liu Fang will not disturb her, and she will retreat first."
Liu Che said: "Alright, you go back first."
Liu Fang bowed, and left the Jiaofang hall wearily.
Ying Zheng waited for Liu Fang to leave, and suddenly said: "I heard that the emperor hit a wall again in Chengming Palace today?"
Liu Che didn't expect him to bring up this matter, and he didn't deny it. After all, in Liu Che's mind, Ying Zheng was very resourceful. At a time like this, there is nothing to be suspicious about, as long as there is a way.
Liu Che said: "Almost everyone supports marriage. When the system was reformed, there were still some people who responded to me. Now it's different. Although the old lady doesn't have the tiger charm in her hand, the influence is still there. She is sitting in the East Palace. , no one in Chengming Hall dared to speak out."
That's all Liu Che said, and said, "Sister Gillian, what can I do?"
Ying Zheng is not a fool either, he naturally knows that Liu Che has already started to guard against him, so it is impossible to give him any advice, let the other party get the idea and start to be more vigilant against himself.
Ying Zheng said: "What ideas can I have? It's just that I thought of someone, he must have some ideas."
"who is it?"
Ying Zheng said, "Wei Qing."
Liu Che didn't expect that he would mention Wei Qing, and said, "Wei Qing can make the ministers of the Manchu court change their words?"
Ying Zheng said: "Wei Qing is smart and eager to learn, and he also has unique insights into the use of troops and military affairs. Although his background is not high, it is precisely because of his low background that no one will focus on him and fear him. People are best used by His Majesty."
Liu Che nodded. He also felt that was the case. Wei Qing was still an inconspicuous newcomer in the palace. Without a background, he had no background. A person with no background had no one to pay attention to him.
This is why Liu Che asked Wei Qing to serve as Jianzhang Supervisor to secretly train his Jianzhangwei and Yulin Army.
Liu Che said: "I happened to see him just now."
Ying Zheng said: "The emperor is not in a hurry to find Wei Qing, whether to fight the Huns or not, now is not the time, so marriage is necessary..."
Liu Che was not happy when he heard the word "marriage", and immediately his face darkened, and he said, "I have heard all about marriage these days. Han Anguo, the great hero who assisted King Liang back then, also talked about marriage with me."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he secretly remembered Han Anguo. He had read the records before, or he had heard people say that Han Anguo was not simple. The Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager herself doted on the youngest son of King Liang, and after Han Anguo's persuasion, she doted on her even more.
There are too many people who can speak well, just like Yan Zhu, but when Yan Zhu went to Kuaiji County and became a Sima, he turned Kuaiji County into a mess. And Han Anguo is not such a showman.
Han Anguo had also led soldiers before, and it can be said that he was extremely resourceful. What is commendable is that this person still has courage, the courage to gallop on the battlefield.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "But what Han Anguo said is also true, isn't it? The Huns have accumulated power for a long time. This is the same as reforming the system. It does not happen overnight. Only by using marriages and princesses to stabilize the Huns can they recuperate. Only then can we send troops to conquer."
Liu Che sighed, and said, "Why don't I think so, but I can hardly wait any longer. There are so many border people at the border, and there is a system that stipulates that the border people are not allowed to move inward. Everywhere the Huns go, if they grab something, that's all. But those are beasts, and they will not stop until the city is slaughtered and blood flows into rivers."
Ying Zheng said: "Then the emperor should be more stable. If he can't succeed in one blow, it will damage the morale of the Han army."
Liu Che said: "It's easy to talk about marriage, but where is the princess? I can't marry my own sister, Princess Yang Xinchang. When Nangong sister got married back then, my mother told her that as long as she insisted, there will always be a princess." The day we meet again, when I was young and ignorant at all, now that I think about it, there is no chance of meeting again, it is more terrifying than parting from life and death."
Ying Zheng said: "The emperor's power is supreme, whoever is the princess, she is the princess... In my opinion, the Hejian King Wengzhu just now is not bad."
Hearing what he said, Liu Che suddenly realized that he was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and it was easy for him to make a princess a princess.
Yingzheng continued: "Liu Fang is smart, beautiful, and knowledgeable. She is not yet married, so there is nothing more suitable. Make Liu Fang a princess, and then go to reward the King of Hejian and his sons. It wouldn't make any sense."
Liu Che pondered for a while and said, "It's indeed a good idea."
Only then did Ying Zheng smile meaningfully and said, "I'm afraid the emperor won't let it go."
Listening to Ying Zheng teasing him, Liu Che stretched out his sleeves and sat next to Ying Zheng, embracing him and saying, "I can't bear to part with Sister Gillian in my life. It's true that Liu Fang told me that she was nice to me, but I pretended to be nothing." I saw that I was fooled."
This is the second time that Ying Zheng heard him say that he would only miss Gillian's sister alone. The first time he heard it was a sneer, and the second time Ying Zheng didn't know what it was like, his heart trembled uncontrollably, but Then came another sneer.
Not to mention being an emperor, even ordinary ministers would do the same. Aren't they good at making promises when playing politics.
Liu Che sat in the Jiaofang Hall for a while, then hurried to hear Wei Qing's achievements. He was thinking about the marriage in his heart, and planned to talk to Wei Qing again and listen to his opinion.
Wei Qing was summoned to the wing by Liu Che, and when the emperor asked him to tell him how to deal with the Huns, he suddenly thought of what the Empress Empress had said to him not long ago.
Just as Wei Qing was thinking about it, he heard Liu Che say, "I just went to the Jiaofang Hall, and the queen asked me to come and ask you, saying that you have a good idea."
Wei Qing hesitated for a moment, then said, "What did the empress say?"
Liu Che nodded and said: "Exactly, so if you have any good ideas, don't worry about it, just tell me, and there is no one else here, if you say something wrong, I will pretend that I didn't hear it."
Wei Qing hesitated again, wondering if he should tell the emperor what Ying Zheng told him, logically speaking, those were not his own thoughts, but the empress's thoughts, if he said it himself, wouldn't it be taking credit from others.
Wei Qing is a responsible person, if it were someone else, he would have been eager to take the credit, regardless of whether it was his own or not.
Wei Qing felt that he shouldn't have said it, but what Ying Zheng said to him was extremely reasonable, which made Wei Qing feel enlightened.
He hesitated again and again, but still said: "Now the court mostly supports long-term marriages to maintain the relationship between the Han and the Huns. Even if there are some different opinions, but because the number of people is too small, they will not express it. This is very detrimental to the emperor. ..."
He paused as he spoke, and said: "Actually, what your majesty lacks is the public opinion of the imperial court, and these public opinions come from the pens of Confucian scholars. Why don't the emperor recruit talents and open doors, and invite these Confucian scholars to use pens to create public opinion guidance."
After listening to him, Liu Che suddenly patted the table and said with a smile: "Wei Qing, I don't value you in vain. The queen is right. You really have a way. Why didn't I think of such a way! The Dou family is very powerful. , the old lady has fixed the thinking of all officials now, I have no way to do it, once you say that, I will understand, as long as you create a public opinion guide, everything will be solved."
Liu Che's heart suddenly brightened, with a feeling of turning the clouds to see the sun, and immediately stood up, walked a few steps in the wing room, and said: "What is lacking now is not soldiers or horses at all, but morale. The big man has not resisted for a long time. The Xiongnu wishes, as long as this kind of public opinion comes out, there must be many people who will respond and follow."
Seeing that the emperor was so happy, Wei Qing himself was also happy, and said with a smile: "That's right, as far as I know, many soldiers want to have a good fight with the Huns, after all, they are all guarding the borders and defending the country. soldier."
Liu Che sighed and said, "Why don't I want to have a hearty fight with the Huns..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of Ying Zheng's words, this battle must be a head-on blow.
Liu Che turned his head to look at Wei Qing, and said with a smile, "Wei Qing, there is no one who is full of civil and military affairs. It can be said that there is no one who has the same thoughts as me. These words of yours really entered my heart."
Wei Qing felt ashamed of receiving these praises. After all, he was not the way to get along with and guide the public opinion of the court. He hesitated for a while and said: "Your Majesty... Actually, this idea was not conceived by the humble general, and the humble general just relayed it."
Liu Che was a little surprised, and said: "You didn't come up with it? Then you still have some strange people and strange people hiding. If you have such a high-level person, why don't you introduce it to me quickly."
Wei Qing said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that the general said that he greeted the empress in the garden near the Jiaofang Hall just now?"
Liu Che was shocked, and said, "Could it be that the queen told you?"
Wei Qing nodded and said: "It's just... At that time, the empress was walking in the garden. She seemed to have nothing to do, so she chatted with the humble general and talked about the Huns, and what the humble general said just now was what the empress thought. Said... The Han people are always not ashamed of the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, but Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu, but the big man can only marry a woman in exchange for a ridiculous peace. The big man can't beat the Huns, the fundamental problem is not the horse, nor the soldiers, but It's public opinion..."
Liu Che listened for a while, the blood in his heart boiled for a while, he turned around and sat back, and after a while, he said: "That's why I have always admired Emperor Shi Huangdi, what I said is right...very right."
Wei Qing said: "It's just that the humble general doesn't quite understand...why didn't the empress tell His Majesty personally, instead she told His Majesty that the humble general has ideas?"
Liu Che naturally understood, and he didn't know whether he was being too obvious, or Ying Zheng was really too smart. Maybe the other party had noticed that he was guarding him, so he planned to protect himself wisely and not give him advice.
Liu Che felt a little bit emotional. An emperor should be wary of others. Which emperor doesn't like smart people, but likes talents, but while reusing talents, he must guard against talents with high achievements. I don't know if this is a kind of sadness.
And this talent is still the person he cares about the most...
Liu Che thought that after sister Gillian became pregnant, the relationship between the two would improve. After all, they were about to have their own child, but unexpectedly, this small change was destroyed by himself.
Liu Che said: "Maybe the empress wants to promote you, so it seems that the empress thinks highly of you, Wei Qing, you have to live up to it."
Wei Qing bowed down and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Your Majesty and the Empress's promotion of the humble general will never be forgotten in the life of the humble general, and he will definitely serve His Majesty wholeheartedly."
Wei Qing's greatest strength is his honesty, and another point is that he doesn't go into a corner when he should let nature take its course. Doesn't he know that Liu Che's words are prevaricating himself? When it comes to Wei Qing's bottom line, he will not go to the edge of the horns, and this kind of person can live longer.
The second day was not on the fifth day, so Liu Che could not have attended the early court, but Liu Che still called all the ministers and princes and kings to hold a court meeting.
Before Liu Che's attitude changed, he said with a smile: "Yesterday, I thought about it after I went back. I also feel that peace is hard to come by. It's because I was too young and didn't listen to the opinions of the veterans at first, but now I have figured it out. It is not yet the time for us and the Huns to fight directly, we must not startle the enemy, we must use peace to stabilize the Huns."
After he finished speaking, all the ministers in the palace looked left and right, not knowing what was going on, the emperor suddenly changed his temper and began to become a party of peace.
However, the necessary etiquette is still required. All the ministers stood up, bowed in unison and went down the mountain to shout "Long live wise".
Liu Che smiled, and said: "It depends on everyone's outspokenness and courage to dissuade me in time, but then again... the Huns have been urging to send the married princess there, but I don't have any princesses anymore. It’s good to give it to them, now we need to choose a lord or princess from among the vassals and kings, confer the title of princess, and send it to the Huns, who... dare to stand up and take this amazing merit?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers in the hall no longer looked left and right, and suddenly made a noise for a while, all of them were shocked, it turned out that the emperor's next words were here.
The ministers who were not princes and kings began to watch the excitement, and all the princes and kings present couldn't help but shrink back, making themselves less conspicuous, lest the emperor see him and choose his daughter.
The princes and kings have been struggling in the court all year round. How could they not know the cruelty of the Huns, and who would marry their daughters.
Liu Che smiled and swept the princes and kings in the hall, and said, "Who? Who is willing to stand up? King Huainan? King Hejian?"
The princes and kings who were named, even a calm and composed person like Liu An, the king of Huainan, felt that the back was full of cold sweat, and his forehead was also wet. head on.
Liu Che stood up, squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Aren't you all masters! Just marrying a daughter will kill you? Did you say anything about my sister who married me before? Why are you all so willing! It's your turn, you must give me a definite candidate in Chengming Palace today, otherwise no one will leave."
After he finished speaking, the princes and kings even wiped their sweat with their sleeves, and lowered their heads even more, fearing that they would be in the limelight and could not keep their daughters. Like people, the Han people there have no respect at all, let alone a family with a daughter, which one has not been humiliated and insulted, but can't find a way to die, the married princess died, and the Huns wanted to fight with the Han North Korea is at war.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Che turned around and sat back, saying, "Uncle, what do you mean, who is more suitable?"
Tian Fu raised his head, met Liu Che's eyes, stood up quickly, walked to the middle of the hall, saluted, and then looked around at the princes.
Liu An, the king of Huainan, was relieved to hear that the emperor had named Tian Fu. After all, he and Tian Fu were on the same boat. Tian Fu still had a crush on his daughter, so it was impossible for him to marry Liu Ling to the Huns. stop.
Tian Fu looked around, and then said: "This... I am really hard to say, the princes and kings present are either the emperor's uncles or uncles, or loyal ministers with military exploits and great achievements. They married their daughters to the Huns. It's all distressing...Your Majesty is wise, I must have someone in my heart."
Hearing what he said, Liu Che suddenly laughed, and said in a joking tone, "Uncle, others say that you can climb to the position of Marquis Wu'an because you are the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, but they don't even know that my uncle But he is an eloquent in the world, and he is familiar with hundreds of books."
Tian Fu knelt down and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for the compliment, I am ashamed to accept it."
Liu Che waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go back, as you said, I already have a suitable candidate in my heart."
After he finished speaking, all the princes and kings present couldn't help looking up at Liu Che, wondering who this candidate was.
Liu Che didn't speak for a long time, as if he was stretching this group of people, as if seeing them anxious and panicked, it was indeed like this. Liu Che hated iron for being weak. For the sake of the country and the people, it turned out that it was their turn to marry their own daughters, and each of them was so frightened that they almost peed their pants, and they were like this.
Liu Chefu stood up again, stepped down the steps, walked slowly to the middle of the hall, looked at the princes, and said with a smile: "I think... the daughter of King Hejian, Mrs. Liu Fang, is outstanding in appearance, intelligent and virtuous. Rules, is the best candidate."
Hejian Wang suddenly heard his name, waited for a while, and listened to Liu Che's word for word, and finished the series of compliments very slowly, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of joy in his heart, and his heart sank to the bottom of the lake all of a sudden. Without holding his breath, he leaned over.
The ministers and princes next to him were confused, and quickly supported King Hejian, saying: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty... King Hejian fainted."
Liu Che sneered, and said: "I'm so happy, that's right, it's his blessing that Hejian Wang can share the great righteousness of the country and the people. The imperial doctor came to show the King of Hejian, and went to inform the Lord of Hejian, Liu Fang, that he was going to marry the Xiongnu. As for the marriage, Prime Minister Xu Chang will handle it personally, so I don’t need to say anything more?”
Xu Chang quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead, walked over tremblingly, knelt down and said, "No."
With a smile on the corner of Liu Che's mouth, he glanced at the ministers present again, and then stepped out of Chengming Hall.
Li Yannian followed behind and shouted to retreat, and then followed, helping Liu Che into the car, and put down the Chen curtain.
Liu Che got into the car, Wei Qing's guards were beside the car, Liu Che and others were a little farther away from the Chengming Hall, suddenly opened the curtains, and smiled at Wei Qing: "Wei Qing, you don't know how those princes were frightened by me just now, All of their faces were ashen-colored, and they were all wiped with sweat, which really opened my eyes."
Wei Qing also smiled, he was happy for the emperor, after all, who would not wish that the monarch they are loyal to is a promising and wise one.
But Wei Qing immediately frowned and said: "Your Majesty, now you have all the princes in the Chengming Palace, I am afraid that you will not let it go, if they go to the East Palace to complain to the emperor, wouldn't it be bad?"
Liu Che frowned when he heard this, and then sneered, "I'm still afraid of them?"
Wei Qing said: "Even so, the emperor should be cautious."
"I know," Liu Chexu pointed at Wei Qing, and said, "You, just wait to see King Hejian send off his daughter... No one can stand in the way of my grand plans and great achievements, no one else."
Yingzheng could hear the affairs of the court meeting in the Chengming Palace in Jiaofang Hall, Chu Fu poured water for him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't know, the court meeting is very lively today, the emperor and all the ministers Discussing who to send to marry, and finally chose King Hejian's daughter, Mrs. Liu Fang, who frightened Hejian King into a faint on the spot, let alone Duo Le."
When Ying Zheng heard that it was Liu Fang, a smile appeared on the corners of Ying Zheng's lips. He had just told Liu Che about Liu Fang yesterday, and today he saw immediate results. This also reflected a little bit, that is, Liu Che still listened to him.
Originally, Liu Che was just a young and energetic new emperor, how could he compare with Ying Zheng, a man who had been struggling for so many years.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Just watch, the emperor will be here in a while."
Chu Fu asked strangely: "The emperor is coming to the Jiaofang Palace again? Shouldn't he be discussing matters with the cabinet ministers in the East and West Wings at this time?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a servant rushing in, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, get ready, the emperor will be at the door soon!"
Chu Fu looked at Ying Zheng in shock and didn't understand how he guessed right. Ying Zheng just asked her to take the servant to receive the reward. Chu Fu said, "Ma'am, how about I dress you up?"
Ying Zheng said: "You don't need these boring things, just go down."
Liu Che was going back to the East and West Wings, but temporarily asked the rider to turn the horse's head, and when he reached the gate of the Jiaofang Hall, he said to Wei Qing, "You go back first, I'm fine here."
"promise!"
Wei Qing responded quickly, and then retreated.
Liu Che got out of the car and went to the Jiaofang Hall, but when he entered the hall, he didn't see the servants and maids waiting, only Ying Zheng was sitting on the edge of the couch.
Liu Che also asked Li Yannian and his group to stand at the entrance of the hall, walked over by himself, and said, "Why don't you see anyone waiting on you?"
Ying Zheng said: "Knowing that His Majesty came to Jiaofang Palace to discuss something serious, he has sent all the palace officials back."
Liu Che nodded, sat down next to Ying Zheng with a smile, put his arms around his shoulders, and said, "Sister Gillian is always so smart. I really have something serious to talk about here. Sister Gillian might as well make a guess."
Ying Zheng laughed, and said: "What do you need to guess? The court meeting in Chengming Palace has caused the entire palace to be noisy. It must be time for the princes and kings to go to the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace to chew their tongues for Your Majesty." .”
Liu Che couldn't help frowning when he heard this, stood up and took a few steps, and said, "These princes and kings enjoy the blessings on weekdays, but they shrink their heads whenever they have something to do, and they have to go to the Empress Dowager to complain to me."
Ying Zheng said: "Your Majesty spent a long time trying to get the princes and kings to return to their fiefs. Now that winter and October have arrived in the capital, they will definitely not go back to their fiefs in less than a month. A few months is enough to tell the old lady. It's enough to be like an emperor."
Liu Che sighed, then laughed again, sat down next to Ying Zheng again, put his arms around his shoulders, tilted his head and kissed Ying Zheng's ears lightly, and said with a smile: "Sister Gillian said so, there must be Good way to shut up these people, right?"
Ying Zheng hadn't been touched by Liu Che for a long time, and his ears were extremely sensitive. This man couldn't help shaking, a tingling force rushed up from the base of his ears, and hit his head, almost making Ying Zheng snort .
Ying Zheng realized his gaffe, and quickly stood up from Liu Che's side. This was a bad momentum. Ying Zheng never thought about adapting to being a woman, especially this woman was the emperor's woman of his Han Dynasty.
Even if Yingzheng is in the harem and always suppresses women who want to climb up, it doesn't mean that he likes Liu Che. Because Yingzheng has seen Queen Chen being thrown into limbo and dying of self-pity, he doesn't want to let Liu Che die. If I follow this kind of fate, if I want not to be abolished, I can only let the emperor have no men and women who are scheming and means.
That's why Ying Zheng had to spare no effort to find out the women, even the men, that Liu Che had eyes for.
It's just that Yingzheng is always Yingzheng, and you can't be humbled just because of a woman's shell. Just imagine how an unworldly emperor who pushed the country into a unified country can convince himself to be in love with a man. Ordinary men are still unwilling. , Ying Zheng would never even think about it.
Especially this man is the emperor of the Han Dynasty...
Ying Zheng took a few steps away before standing still, and said, "This couldn't be easier, why don't your majesty preemptively strike."
"Preemptive strike? How to preemptive strike?"
At this time, Yingzheng's eyes were shining with the brilliance and brilliance that Liu Che was obsessed with. Liu Che never realized that this person would only show this in politics, in military affairs, and in matters of the court. A fascinating and unstoppable demeanor.
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, let's send someone to investigate these princes and kings. Let the Tingwei Office come forward to investigate whether they have committed any crimes. After a unified investigation, these princes and kings probably don't have time to complain to your majesty." .”
Liu Che's eyes lit up when he heard it, he laughed loudly, and said, "Although this method is a bit wicked, it is still a good method, so that they have no time to take care of other things... But, who dares to investigate the princes? ?”
Ying Zheng said: "The Ting Wei Department is honest and honest. Although Zhang Tang is a cruel official, it is also a good way to deal with princes and kings."
Liu Che nodded and said, "Good idea, I'll call these two people here."
Ying Zheng stopped him and said, "Don't worry, these two people are not enough, one more person is needed..."
Liu Che said, "Aren't they enough?"
"Think about it, Your Majesty. What if these princes go to the Empress Dowager again to sue Ji An and Zhang Tang for slandering important officials? Facing them, Ji An and Zhang Tang will be harmed at that time... The emperor needs to choose another one, who can make the old lady speechless."
"Who is that?"
Ying Zheng pursed his lips and said with a smile, "The only one who can make the old lady silent is Dou."
Liu Che suddenly realized: "It's Dou Ying!"
Ying Zheng nodded, "It's Dou Ying. Dou Ying is the leader of the Dou family. Naturally, the old lady wouldn't say anything. Besides, Dou Ying is one of the few people in the Dou family who are loyal to the emperor. Let Dou Ying do it. Guaranteed to be right."
Liu Che said: "Alright, I'll go right away!"
As he spoke, he took two steps away, then stopped suddenly, turned around again, held Ying Zheng in his arms, and gently stroked Ying Zheng's abdomen with the other hand.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng came back suddenly, and his whole body was stiff, especially Liu Che was still touching his "death spot".
Ying Zheng's face no longer had the demeanor and smile it had before, but he just lowered his eyes, trying to hide his unhappiness as much as possible.
Liu Che kissed him on the corner of his mouth with a smile, and said: "Did the imperial doctor take your pulse on time? A few days ago, the imperial doctor came to tell me about the situation of Sister Gillian. In a short time, we will My child is about to be born, Sister Gillian must take good care of herself... This must be my most beloved child, do you understand what it means?"
Li Yannian is also a smart person, how could he fail to see the meaning of Hejian Wang Wengzhu, he laughed secretly in his heart, but he didn't delay his action at all, he immediately bowed forward and said with an apologetic smile: "Please wait a moment, Wengzhu."
Liu Fang glanced at Li Yannian, but Li Yannian just pretended not to see, and ordered the servants who followed him to prepare the horses and chariots.
Liu Fang watched helplessly as Liu Che boarded the chariot, and the slave rode away in the emperor's chariot.
The servant quickly prepared the chariot and horses, and invited Liu Fang to get in the chariot. Liu Fang was annoyed in her heart, but she couldn't show it, so she boarded the chariot angrily and sat down.
Qi Nu drove the car, Liu Fang thought that it would be bad if the emperor had arrived at the Jiaofang Hall early, and went to love the queen again, so she lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Hurry up, catch up to the front."
The riding slave didn't dare to say anything, just said: "No." That's all, he ran quickly.
Yujia was very smooth all the way, so Liu Fang's car quickly rushed over and followed behind.
When Yu Jia stopped, he happened to see Wei Qing walking from the direction of Jiaofang Hall, the servant opened the curtain of the car, Liu Che came out from inside, Wei Qing hurried forward to salute.
Liu Che said, "You are here."
Wei Qing met Liu Che and said, "Yes, the humble general just paid a visit to the empress."
Liu Che brushed off his clothes and said, "Have you gone to Jiaofang Hall?"
Wei Qing said respectfully: "No, the humble general is a slave, and he didn't dare to go to the Jiaofang Hall to disturb the queen's rest. The humble general was near the garden just now, and happened to see the empress taking a walk. Because the humble general accepted the recommendation of the queen, he did not go to see her. , seems inappropriate."
Liu Che nodded, then smiled and said, "Wei Qing, you are just too cautious."
As he spoke, he patted Wei Qing on the shoulder and said, "It's not been a day or two since you have been with me. You don't need to be so cautious in doing things. No one will punish you."
Wei Qing said: "Although it is said so, there are differences between monarchs and ministers."
Liu Che smiled again, and didn't try to argue with Wei Qing about the difference between monarch and minister. In fact, in Liu Che's heart, he already regarded Wei Qing as his confidant. After all, he hardly had any confidantes now, but he did have a few Confucian confidants during the transformation. , his teacher Wei Wan was forced to resign by the Empress Dowager, and Wang Zang and Zhao Wan were also great Confucian scholars in the world, so they ended up "suicide in fear of crime" in prison.
Liu Che was too young, and he always brought his own feelings into politics, which made his politics destined to lead to tragedy, and also pushed those confidantes into the abyss.
Since Wang Zang and Zhaowan died, Liu Che no longer had any confidants, so he treated Wei Qing with extra sincerity. Wei Qing was different from Wang Zang and Zhaowan. If you back yourself up, you will be bold and decisive, which is why Wei Qing can be safe and sound in the palace.
Liu Fang felt the car stop, she waited, after all, she was a girl's family, she thought the emperor would come to help her out of the car, but Liu Che's laughter seemed to come from outside, and she didn't know who she was chatting with.
Liu Fang got impatient waiting, so she asked the servant to open the curtain and got out of the car by herself.
Liu Fang immediately put on a smile, stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, who is this lord?"
Liu Che said casually, "This is Wei Qing, my supervisor Jianzhang."
Liu Fang laughed and said, "So it's General Wei Qing."
Wei Qing didn't know who the other party was, and he hadn't heard the emperor mention it, so he didn't know how to return the gift.
Liu Che didn't seem to want Wei Qing to return the gift at all, and said, "Okay, Wei Qing, go down first."
Wei Qing responded and left in a hurry.
Only then did Liu Che go to the Jiaofang Hall, Li Yannian quickly followed the emperor and asked the servants around him to pass on the news.
As soon as Ying Zheng returned to the Jiaofang Hall, a servant hurried over, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor is here, and he has already arrived at the gate of the hall."
The servant thought for a while, and then added, "Hejian King Wengzhu is also with me."
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "I'm sorry, Chu Fu, take him to get some rewards."
The servant immediately smiled, didn't even dare to say anything, but followed Chu Fu obediently.
Liu Che arrived soon, Liu Fang followed behind, Ying Zheng stepped forward to salute, Liu Che hurried over to support him to prevent him from bending over, and said, "Come on, sit down quickly, don't hurt yourself."
Seeing the nervous look of the emperor's baby, Liu Fang couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. Although Liu Fang didn't necessarily like Liu Che that much, but Liu Fang's purpose was to make the current emperor obsessed with her, so as to consolidate the status of Hejian King , consolidated his father's status, wouldn't he also have status as the lord.
Since the Rebellion of the Seven Kings, the status of the princes and kings was different from before, and it was much weaker than before. Especially since Liu Che ascended the throne, he ordered all the princes and kings to return to their fiefs, and ordered all fiefs not to set up checkpoints without authorization, and the city gates must be opened.
This approach made all the princes and kings panic. Who knows what the young emperor will do next, isn't it obvious that they don't believe these princes.
Among these vassals, there are quite a few kings with the surname Liu, and Huainan King Liu An is the most powerful. Huainan King also has a brother, and the combined power of the two cannot be underestimated.
This made the other princes feel uneasy. Although the King of Hejian looks honest and has not made many achievements, he is determined not to have the heart of treason and rebellion, but who wants to consolidate their power and make the emperor think highly of themselves? Get some extra money by the way.
King Hejian's sons are not up to the challenge, but this little daughter is young, but she has a serious mind, and no brother is her opponent.
Liu Fang felt that she had to be good-looking and scheming, not to lose to men at all, and the emperor had always had a reputation for being beautiful, so Liu Fang was naturally thinking about this.
Liu Fang put on a smile at the moment, stepped forward to salute Ying Zheng, and said with a smile, "Sister Empress Sheng'an, Liu Fang greets you."
Ying Zheng was supported by Liu Che to sit down. On the one hand, his body was really getting more and more inconvenient. On the other hand, he also deliberately put on a show to show Liu Fang. So many gifts."
Liu Fang was trying to be close, and wanted to be called a sister, but Ying Zheng didn't show any face at all, and she lost all face.
Liu Fang stood up in embarrassment, paused, and smiled again: "How is the Queen's sister? My sister greeted the Empress Dowager in the East Palace, and the old man talked about the Queen's sister whenever he talked, so Liu Fang begged the emperor's brother to take me. Let's go see my sister."
Ying Zheng just smiled and said: "Thank you, Lord Hejian, for your concern. I have always been in good health, but I can't hear the noise. When there are too many people, my heart starts to panic. I don't know what's wrong...Look, it's like now .”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Che said, "A-Jiao, are you flustered? Why don't you call the imperial doctor to come and see?"
Ying Zheng said: "It's not a big problem, as long as there is no noise, it's fine."
Hearing what he said, Liu Fang was so angry that anyone with ears could tell that he thought he was too noisy, which made him flustered.
But the emperor just loves him so much.
Liu Fang's purpose in coming here was to meet the Empress Empress, to find out the truth, who knew that she had touched her nose as soon as she came, thinking in her heart, it would be inconvenient to entangle her any more today, it would be a bad start, maybe the more she talked, the worse she would be. Can't get any benefits.
Liu Fang said immediately: "Since the Queen's sister is not feeling well, then Liu Fang will not disturb her, and she will retreat first."
Liu Che said: "Alright, you go back first."
Liu Fang bowed, and left the Jiaofang hall wearily.
Ying Zheng waited for Liu Fang to leave, and suddenly said: "I heard that the emperor hit a wall again in Chengming Palace today?"
Liu Che didn't expect him to bring up this matter, and he didn't deny it. After all, in Liu Che's mind, Ying Zheng was very resourceful. At a time like this, there is nothing to be suspicious about, as long as there is a way.
Liu Che said: "Almost everyone supports marriage. When the system was reformed, there were still some people who responded to me. Now it's different. Although the old lady doesn't have the tiger charm in her hand, the influence is still there. She is sitting in the East Palace. , no one in Chengming Hall dared to speak out."
That's all Liu Che said, and said, "Sister Gillian, what can I do?"
Ying Zheng is not a fool either, he naturally knows that Liu Che has already started to guard against him, so it is impossible to give him any advice, let the other party get the idea and start to be more vigilant against himself.
Ying Zheng said: "What ideas can I have? It's just that I thought of someone, he must have some ideas."
"who is it?"
Ying Zheng said, "Wei Qing."
Liu Che didn't expect that he would mention Wei Qing, and said, "Wei Qing can make the ministers of the Manchu court change their words?"
Ying Zheng said: "Wei Qing is smart and eager to learn, and he also has unique insights into the use of troops and military affairs. Although his background is not high, it is precisely because of his low background that no one will focus on him and fear him. People are best used by His Majesty."
Liu Che nodded. He also felt that was the case. Wei Qing was still an inconspicuous newcomer in the palace. Without a background, he had no background. A person with no background had no one to pay attention to him.
This is why Liu Che asked Wei Qing to serve as Jianzhang Supervisor to secretly train his Jianzhangwei and Yulin Army.
Liu Che said: "I happened to see him just now."
Ying Zheng said: "The emperor is not in a hurry to find Wei Qing, whether to fight the Huns or not, now is not the time, so marriage is necessary..."
Liu Che was not happy when he heard the word "marriage", and immediately his face darkened, and he said, "I have heard all about marriage these days. Han Anguo, the great hero who assisted King Liang back then, also talked about marriage with me."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he secretly remembered Han Anguo. He had read the records before, or he had heard people say that Han Anguo was not simple. The Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager herself doted on the youngest son of King Liang, and after Han Anguo's persuasion, she doted on her even more.
There are too many people who can speak well, just like Yan Zhu, but when Yan Zhu went to Kuaiji County and became a Sima, he turned Kuaiji County into a mess. And Han Anguo is not such a showman.
Han Anguo had also led soldiers before, and it can be said that he was extremely resourceful. What is commendable is that this person still has courage, the courage to gallop on the battlefield.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "But what Han Anguo said is also true, isn't it? The Huns have accumulated power for a long time. This is the same as reforming the system. It does not happen overnight. Only by using marriages and princesses to stabilize the Huns can they recuperate. Only then can we send troops to conquer."
Liu Che sighed, and said, "Why don't I think so, but I can hardly wait any longer. There are so many border people at the border, and there is a system that stipulates that the border people are not allowed to move inward. Everywhere the Huns go, if they grab something, that's all. But those are beasts, and they will not stop until the city is slaughtered and blood flows into rivers."
Ying Zheng said: "Then the emperor should be more stable. If he can't succeed in one blow, it will damage the morale of the Han army."
Liu Che said: "It's easy to talk about marriage, but where is the princess? I can't marry my own sister, Princess Yang Xinchang. When Nangong sister got married back then, my mother told her that as long as she insisted, there will always be a princess." The day we meet again, when I was young and ignorant at all, now that I think about it, there is no chance of meeting again, it is more terrifying than parting from life and death."
Ying Zheng said: "The emperor's power is supreme, whoever is the princess, she is the princess... In my opinion, the Hejian King Wengzhu just now is not bad."
Hearing what he said, Liu Che suddenly realized that he was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and it was easy for him to make a princess a princess.
Yingzheng continued: "Liu Fang is smart, beautiful, and knowledgeable. She is not yet married, so there is nothing more suitable. Make Liu Fang a princess, and then go to reward the King of Hejian and his sons. It wouldn't make any sense."
Liu Che pondered for a while and said, "It's indeed a good idea."
Only then did Ying Zheng smile meaningfully and said, "I'm afraid the emperor won't let it go."
Listening to Ying Zheng teasing him, Liu Che stretched out his sleeves and sat next to Ying Zheng, embracing him and saying, "I can't bear to part with Sister Gillian in my life. It's true that Liu Fang told me that she was nice to me, but I pretended to be nothing." I saw that I was fooled."
This is the second time that Ying Zheng heard him say that he would only miss Gillian's sister alone. The first time he heard it was a sneer, and the second time Ying Zheng didn't know what it was like, his heart trembled uncontrollably, but Then came another sneer.
Not to mention being an emperor, even ordinary ministers would do the same. Aren't they good at making promises when playing politics.
Liu Che sat in the Jiaofang Hall for a while, then hurried to hear Wei Qing's achievements. He was thinking about the marriage in his heart, and planned to talk to Wei Qing again and listen to his opinion.
Wei Qing was summoned to the wing by Liu Che, and when the emperor asked him to tell him how to deal with the Huns, he suddenly thought of what the Empress Empress had said to him not long ago.
Just as Wei Qing was thinking about it, he heard Liu Che say, "I just went to the Jiaofang Hall, and the queen asked me to come and ask you, saying that you have a good idea."
Wei Qing hesitated for a moment, then said, "What did the empress say?"
Liu Che nodded and said: "Exactly, so if you have any good ideas, don't worry about it, just tell me, and there is no one else here, if you say something wrong, I will pretend that I didn't hear it."
Wei Qing hesitated again, wondering if he should tell the emperor what Ying Zheng told him, logically speaking, those were not his own thoughts, but the empress's thoughts, if he said it himself, wouldn't it be taking credit from others.
Wei Qing is a responsible person, if it were someone else, he would have been eager to take the credit, regardless of whether it was his own or not.
Wei Qing felt that he shouldn't have said it, but what Ying Zheng said to him was extremely reasonable, which made Wei Qing feel enlightened.
He hesitated again and again, but still said: "Now the court mostly supports long-term marriages to maintain the relationship between the Han and the Huns. Even if there are some different opinions, but because the number of people is too small, they will not express it. This is very detrimental to the emperor. ..."
He paused as he spoke, and said: "Actually, what your majesty lacks is the public opinion of the imperial court, and these public opinions come from the pens of Confucian scholars. Why don't the emperor recruit talents and open doors, and invite these Confucian scholars to use pens to create public opinion guidance."
After listening to him, Liu Che suddenly patted the table and said with a smile: "Wei Qing, I don't value you in vain. The queen is right. You really have a way. Why didn't I think of such a way! The Dou family is very powerful. , the old lady has fixed the thinking of all officials now, I have no way to do it, once you say that, I will understand, as long as you create a public opinion guide, everything will be solved."
Liu Che's heart suddenly brightened, with a feeling of turning the clouds to see the sun, and immediately stood up, walked a few steps in the wing room, and said: "What is lacking now is not soldiers or horses at all, but morale. The big man has not resisted for a long time. The Xiongnu wishes, as long as this kind of public opinion comes out, there must be many people who will respond and follow."
Seeing that the emperor was so happy, Wei Qing himself was also happy, and said with a smile: "That's right, as far as I know, many soldiers want to have a good fight with the Huns, after all, they are all guarding the borders and defending the country. soldier."
Liu Che sighed and said, "Why don't I want to have a hearty fight with the Huns..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of Ying Zheng's words, this battle must be a head-on blow.
Liu Che turned his head to look at Wei Qing, and said with a smile, "Wei Qing, there is no one who is full of civil and military affairs. It can be said that there is no one who has the same thoughts as me. These words of yours really entered my heart."
Wei Qing felt ashamed of receiving these praises. After all, he was not the way to get along with and guide the public opinion of the court. He hesitated for a while and said: "Your Majesty... Actually, this idea was not conceived by the humble general, and the humble general just relayed it."
Liu Che was a little surprised, and said: "You didn't come up with it? Then you still have some strange people and strange people hiding. If you have such a high-level person, why don't you introduce it to me quickly."
Wei Qing said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that the general said that he greeted the empress in the garden near the Jiaofang Hall just now?"
Liu Che was shocked, and said, "Could it be that the queen told you?"
Wei Qing nodded and said: "It's just... At that time, the empress was walking in the garden. She seemed to have nothing to do, so she chatted with the humble general and talked about the Huns, and what the humble general said just now was what the empress thought. Said... The Han people are always not ashamed of the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, but Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu, but the big man can only marry a woman in exchange for a ridiculous peace. The big man can't beat the Huns, the fundamental problem is not the horse, nor the soldiers, but It's public opinion..."
Liu Che listened for a while, the blood in his heart boiled for a while, he turned around and sat back, and after a while, he said: "That's why I have always admired Emperor Shi Huangdi, what I said is right...very right."
Wei Qing said: "It's just that the humble general doesn't quite understand...why didn't the empress tell His Majesty personally, instead she told His Majesty that the humble general has ideas?"
Liu Che naturally understood, and he didn't know whether he was being too obvious, or Ying Zheng was really too smart. Maybe the other party had noticed that he was guarding him, so he planned to protect himself wisely and not give him advice.
Liu Che felt a little bit emotional. An emperor should be wary of others. Which emperor doesn't like smart people, but likes talents, but while reusing talents, he must guard against talents with high achievements. I don't know if this is a kind of sadness.
And this talent is still the person he cares about the most...
Liu Che thought that after sister Gillian became pregnant, the relationship between the two would improve. After all, they were about to have their own child, but unexpectedly, this small change was destroyed by himself.
Liu Che said: "Maybe the empress wants to promote you, so it seems that the empress thinks highly of you, Wei Qing, you have to live up to it."
Wei Qing bowed down and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Your Majesty and the Empress's promotion of the humble general will never be forgotten in the life of the humble general, and he will definitely serve His Majesty wholeheartedly."
Wei Qing's greatest strength is his honesty, and another point is that he doesn't go into a corner when he should let nature take its course. Doesn't he know that Liu Che's words are prevaricating himself? When it comes to Wei Qing's bottom line, he will not go to the edge of the horns, and this kind of person can live longer.
The second day was not on the fifth day, so Liu Che could not have attended the early court, but Liu Che still called all the ministers and princes and kings to hold a court meeting.
Before Liu Che's attitude changed, he said with a smile: "Yesterday, I thought about it after I went back. I also feel that peace is hard to come by. It's because I was too young and didn't listen to the opinions of the veterans at first, but now I have figured it out. It is not yet the time for us and the Huns to fight directly, we must not startle the enemy, we must use peace to stabilize the Huns."
After he finished speaking, all the ministers in the palace looked left and right, not knowing what was going on, the emperor suddenly changed his temper and began to become a party of peace.
However, the necessary etiquette is still required. All the ministers stood up, bowed in unison and went down the mountain to shout "Long live wise".
Liu Che smiled, and said: "It depends on everyone's outspokenness and courage to dissuade me in time, but then again... the Huns have been urging to send the married princess there, but I don't have any princesses anymore. It’s good to give it to them, now we need to choose a lord or princess from among the vassals and kings, confer the title of princess, and send it to the Huns, who... dare to stand up and take this amazing merit?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers in the hall no longer looked left and right, and suddenly made a noise for a while, all of them were shocked, it turned out that the emperor's next words were here.
The ministers who were not princes and kings began to watch the excitement, and all the princes and kings present couldn't help but shrink back, making themselves less conspicuous, lest the emperor see him and choose his daughter.
The princes and kings have been struggling in the court all year round. How could they not know the cruelty of the Huns, and who would marry their daughters.
Liu Che smiled and swept the princes and kings in the hall, and said, "Who? Who is willing to stand up? King Huainan? King Hejian?"
The princes and kings who were named, even a calm and composed person like Liu An, the king of Huainan, felt that the back was full of cold sweat, and his forehead was also wet. head on.
Liu Che stood up, squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Aren't you all masters! Just marrying a daughter will kill you? Did you say anything about my sister who married me before? Why are you all so willing! It's your turn, you must give me a definite candidate in Chengming Palace today, otherwise no one will leave."
After he finished speaking, the princes and kings even wiped their sweat with their sleeves, and lowered their heads even more, fearing that they would be in the limelight and could not keep their daughters. Like people, the Han people there have no respect at all, let alone a family with a daughter, which one has not been humiliated and insulted, but can't find a way to die, the married princess died, and the Huns wanted to fight with the Han North Korea is at war.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Che turned around and sat back, saying, "Uncle, what do you mean, who is more suitable?"
Tian Fu raised his head, met Liu Che's eyes, stood up quickly, walked to the middle of the hall, saluted, and then looked around at the princes.
Liu An, the king of Huainan, was relieved to hear that the emperor had named Tian Fu. After all, he and Tian Fu were on the same boat. Tian Fu still had a crush on his daughter, so it was impossible for him to marry Liu Ling to the Huns. stop.
Tian Fu looked around, and then said: "This... I am really hard to say, the princes and kings present are either the emperor's uncles or uncles, or loyal ministers with military exploits and great achievements. They married their daughters to the Huns. It's all distressing...Your Majesty is wise, I must have someone in my heart."
Hearing what he said, Liu Che suddenly laughed, and said in a joking tone, "Uncle, others say that you can climb to the position of Marquis Wu'an because you are the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, but they don't even know that my uncle But he is an eloquent in the world, and he is familiar with hundreds of books."
Tian Fu knelt down and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for the compliment, I am ashamed to accept it."
Liu Che waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go back, as you said, I already have a suitable candidate in my heart."
After he finished speaking, all the princes and kings present couldn't help looking up at Liu Che, wondering who this candidate was.
Liu Che didn't speak for a long time, as if he was stretching this group of people, as if seeing them anxious and panicked, it was indeed like this. Liu Che hated iron for being weak. For the sake of the country and the people, it turned out that it was their turn to marry their own daughters, and each of them was so frightened that they almost peed their pants, and they were like this.
Liu Chefu stood up again, stepped down the steps, walked slowly to the middle of the hall, looked at the princes, and said with a smile: "I think... the daughter of King Hejian, Mrs. Liu Fang, is outstanding in appearance, intelligent and virtuous. Rules, is the best candidate."
Hejian Wang suddenly heard his name, waited for a while, and listened to Liu Che's word for word, and finished the series of compliments very slowly, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of joy in his heart, and his heart sank to the bottom of the lake all of a sudden. Without holding his breath, he leaned over.
The ministers and princes next to him were confused, and quickly supported King Hejian, saying: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty... King Hejian fainted."
Liu Che sneered, and said: "I'm so happy, that's right, it's his blessing that Hejian Wang can share the great righteousness of the country and the people. The imperial doctor came to show the King of Hejian, and went to inform the Lord of Hejian, Liu Fang, that he was going to marry the Xiongnu. As for the marriage, Prime Minister Xu Chang will handle it personally, so I don’t need to say anything more?”
Xu Chang quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead, walked over tremblingly, knelt down and said, "No."
With a smile on the corner of Liu Che's mouth, he glanced at the ministers present again, and then stepped out of Chengming Hall.
Li Yannian followed behind and shouted to retreat, and then followed, helping Liu Che into the car, and put down the Chen curtain.
Liu Che got into the car, Wei Qing's guards were beside the car, Liu Che and others were a little farther away from the Chengming Hall, suddenly opened the curtains, and smiled at Wei Qing: "Wei Qing, you don't know how those princes were frightened by me just now, All of their faces were ashen-colored, and they were all wiped with sweat, which really opened my eyes."
Wei Qing also smiled, he was happy for the emperor, after all, who would not wish that the monarch they are loyal to is a promising and wise one.
But Wei Qing immediately frowned and said: "Your Majesty, now you have all the princes in the Chengming Palace, I am afraid that you will not let it go, if they go to the East Palace to complain to the emperor, wouldn't it be bad?"
Liu Che frowned when he heard this, and then sneered, "I'm still afraid of them?"
Wei Qing said: "Even so, the emperor should be cautious."
"I know," Liu Chexu pointed at Wei Qing, and said, "You, just wait to see King Hejian send off his daughter... No one can stand in the way of my grand plans and great achievements, no one else."
Yingzheng could hear the affairs of the court meeting in the Chengming Palace in Jiaofang Hall, Chu Fu poured water for him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't know, the court meeting is very lively today, the emperor and all the ministers Discussing who to send to marry, and finally chose King Hejian's daughter, Mrs. Liu Fang, who frightened Hejian King into a faint on the spot, let alone Duo Le."
When Ying Zheng heard that it was Liu Fang, a smile appeared on the corners of Ying Zheng's lips. He had just told Liu Che about Liu Fang yesterday, and today he saw immediate results. This also reflected a little bit, that is, Liu Che still listened to him.
Originally, Liu Che was just a young and energetic new emperor, how could he compare with Ying Zheng, a man who had been struggling for so many years.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Just watch, the emperor will be here in a while."
Chu Fu asked strangely: "The emperor is coming to the Jiaofang Palace again? Shouldn't he be discussing matters with the cabinet ministers in the East and West Wings at this time?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a servant rushing in, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, get ready, the emperor will be at the door soon!"
Chu Fu looked at Ying Zheng in shock and didn't understand how he guessed right. Ying Zheng just asked her to take the servant to receive the reward. Chu Fu said, "Ma'am, how about I dress you up?"
Ying Zheng said: "You don't need these boring things, just go down."
Liu Che was going back to the East and West Wings, but temporarily asked the rider to turn the horse's head, and when he reached the gate of the Jiaofang Hall, he said to Wei Qing, "You go back first, I'm fine here."
"promise!"
Wei Qing responded quickly, and then retreated.
Liu Che got out of the car and went to the Jiaofang Hall, but when he entered the hall, he didn't see the servants and maids waiting, only Ying Zheng was sitting on the edge of the couch.
Liu Che also asked Li Yannian and his group to stand at the entrance of the hall, walked over by himself, and said, "Why don't you see anyone waiting on you?"
Ying Zheng said: "Knowing that His Majesty came to Jiaofang Palace to discuss something serious, he has sent all the palace officials back."
Liu Che nodded, sat down next to Ying Zheng with a smile, put his arms around his shoulders, and said, "Sister Gillian is always so smart. I really have something serious to talk about here. Sister Gillian might as well make a guess."
Ying Zheng laughed, and said: "What do you need to guess? The court meeting in Chengming Palace has caused the entire palace to be noisy. It must be time for the princes and kings to go to the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace to chew their tongues for Your Majesty." .”
Liu Che couldn't help frowning when he heard this, stood up and took a few steps, and said, "These princes and kings enjoy the blessings on weekdays, but they shrink their heads whenever they have something to do, and they have to go to the Empress Dowager to complain to me."
Ying Zheng said: "Your Majesty spent a long time trying to get the princes and kings to return to their fiefs. Now that winter and October have arrived in the capital, they will definitely not go back to their fiefs in less than a month. A few months is enough to tell the old lady. It's enough to be like an emperor."
Liu Che sighed, then laughed again, sat down next to Ying Zheng again, put his arms around his shoulders, tilted his head and kissed Ying Zheng's ears lightly, and said with a smile: "Sister Gillian said so, there must be Good way to shut up these people, right?"
Ying Zheng hadn't been touched by Liu Che for a long time, and his ears were extremely sensitive. This man couldn't help shaking, a tingling force rushed up from the base of his ears, and hit his head, almost making Ying Zheng snort .
Ying Zheng realized his gaffe, and quickly stood up from Liu Che's side. This was a bad momentum. Ying Zheng never thought about adapting to being a woman, especially this woman was the emperor's woman of his Han Dynasty.
Even if Yingzheng is in the harem and always suppresses women who want to climb up, it doesn't mean that he likes Liu Che. Because Yingzheng has seen Queen Chen being thrown into limbo and dying of self-pity, he doesn't want to let Liu Che die. If I follow this kind of fate, if I want not to be abolished, I can only let the emperor have no men and women who are scheming and means.
That's why Ying Zheng had to spare no effort to find out the women, even the men, that Liu Che had eyes for.
It's just that Yingzheng is always Yingzheng, and you can't be humbled just because of a woman's shell. Just imagine how an unworldly emperor who pushed the country into a unified country can convince himself to be in love with a man. Ordinary men are still unwilling. , Ying Zheng would never even think about it.
Especially this man is the emperor of the Han Dynasty...
Ying Zheng took a few steps away before standing still, and said, "This couldn't be easier, why don't your majesty preemptively strike."
"Preemptive strike? How to preemptive strike?"
At this time, Yingzheng's eyes were shining with the brilliance and brilliance that Liu Che was obsessed with. Liu Che never realized that this person would only show this in politics, in military affairs, and in matters of the court. A fascinating and unstoppable demeanor.
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, let's send someone to investigate these princes and kings. Let the Tingwei Office come forward to investigate whether they have committed any crimes. After a unified investigation, these princes and kings probably don't have time to complain to your majesty." .”
Liu Che's eyes lit up when he heard it, he laughed loudly, and said, "Although this method is a bit wicked, it is still a good method, so that they have no time to take care of other things... But, who dares to investigate the princes? ?”
Ying Zheng said: "The Ting Wei Department is honest and honest. Although Zhang Tang is a cruel official, it is also a good way to deal with princes and kings."
Liu Che nodded and said, "Good idea, I'll call these two people here."
Ying Zheng stopped him and said, "Don't worry, these two people are not enough, one more person is needed..."
Liu Che said, "Aren't they enough?"
"Think about it, Your Majesty. What if these princes go to the Empress Dowager again to sue Ji An and Zhang Tang for slandering important officials? Facing them, Ji An and Zhang Tang will be harmed at that time... The emperor needs to choose another one, who can make the old lady speechless."
"Who is that?"
Ying Zheng pursed his lips and said with a smile, "The only one who can make the old lady silent is Dou."
Liu Che suddenly realized: "It's Dou Ying!"
Ying Zheng nodded, "It's Dou Ying. Dou Ying is the leader of the Dou family. Naturally, the old lady wouldn't say anything. Besides, Dou Ying is one of the few people in the Dou family who are loyal to the emperor. Let Dou Ying do it. Guaranteed to be right."
Liu Che said: "Alright, I'll go right away!"
As he spoke, he took two steps away, then stopped suddenly, turned around again, held Ying Zheng in his arms, and gently stroked Ying Zheng's abdomen with the other hand.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng came back suddenly, and his whole body was stiff, especially Liu Che was still touching his "death spot".
Ying Zheng's face no longer had the demeanor and smile it had before, but he just lowered his eyes, trying to hide his unhappiness as much as possible.
Liu Che kissed him on the corner of his mouth with a smile, and said: "Did the imperial doctor take your pulse on time? A few days ago, the imperial doctor came to tell me about the situation of Sister Gillian. In a short time, we will My child is about to be born, Sister Gillian must take good care of herself... This must be my most beloved child, do you understand what it means?"
