Tragedy of Time Traveling Companion Reading

The matter Liu Che discussed with Han Yan and Zhou Mingjin was very simple - it was the problem of King Liang.Speaking of which, if he hadn't met Zhuang Qingzhai at the court meeting today, Liu Che would have almost forgotten about it.But now that I think about it, I have to deal with it, lest I accidentally cause trouble when the princes meet.

What Liu Che meant was to let King Liang continue to "recover his illness" in Changle Palace until the end of the princes' meeting.Of course, what Liu Che wanted to say was that it would be best until Liu Wu died.

Han Yan and Zhou Mingjin looked at each other.After pondering for a moment, Zhou Mingjin took the lead and said: "But if the new King Liang comes to Beijing and asks to see his father...I'm afraid the empress dowager will not be unreasonable for the favor of King Liang."

When Liu Che heard this, his face became more and more gloomy.The look of humiliation flashed past, he pursed his lips, and stopped talking.

This matter is really not easy to handle, the most important thing is to earn the consent of the empress dowager.

"Liu Wu must not appear in the court meeting." Liu Che clenched his fists and said coldly. "I have just ascended the throne, and the princes and kings are having ulterior motives and turbulent thoughts. If they see Liu Wu ostentatiously appearing in court again, what face will I have in front of them?"

Han Yan's heart moved, and she asked aloud: "Has Your Majesty ever inquired about the mind of the Empress Dowager?"

Embarrassment flashed across Liu Che's eyes. "This matter was told by the Empress Dowager when I went to Changle Palace to pay her respects."

Han Yan's heart sank.After thinking for a while in silence, he slowly said: "Whether Liu Wu's matter is big or small, it depends on how His Majesty handles it. But no matter what, it is not good to confront the Empress Dowager head-on. It is."

"I know all of this." Liu Che shook his loose sleeves in a state of dismay, got up and paced back and forth in the hall.

Han Yan looked at Liu Che's aggrieved look, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly: "Has your majesty talked to the queen about this? Let her talk to the chief Taoist, maybe it will help."

The figure of Liu Che pacing back and forth suddenly stopped, turned around slowly, looked at Han Yan's calm face, and took a deep breath.Squeeze two words from your tightly closed lips. "No!"

Han Yan and Zhou Mingjin stopped talking for a moment.Liu Che's treatment of Gillian has always been very awkward. Although they grew up with Liu Che, there is a difference between monarch and minister after all, so it's hard to talk about it.

Liu Che looked at the two people with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, and his heart became more and more angry, and he couldn't help asking: "Is there no other way than relying on Guantao Chief Taizhu?"

Han Yan sighed softly, and said, "Yes, there is, but it's not as gentle and gentle as the Taoist Master Tao came forward."

When Liu Che heard this, his eyes lit up, and he urged, "Say it quickly!"

"When the King of Liang forced the palace, General Tiao Hou Zhou, General Luan Bu and others raised troops to rescue him. Moreover, most of them were heroes of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, and their influence in the court was not small. If they came forward to persuade the Empress Dowager If so, maybe the empress dowager will be concerned about the stability of the country and decide to follow one or two. But..." Han Yan said this, glanced at Liu Che, and said hesitantly: "I am afraid that even if the empress dowager agrees, she will not would be very upset."

After all, no one likes to feel intimidated.This is especially true for the empress dowager, who has held power for decades.What's more, Liu Che ordered the courtiers to go to Changle Palace to talk about the affairs of King Liang, and if people found out, he would inevitably be suspected of being unfilial.

"So, the best candidate is Guantao Chief Taizhu. If he comes forward, it will be a family matter. How the family wants to solve it has nothing to do with foreign ministers." Zhou Mingjin added at last.

The words are such words, and the reasoning is such a reasoning.Liu Che understood better than anyone else.But if he had to go to Gillian's family to solve any difficult problems, he was very unhappy.

Han Yan and Zhou Mingjin were very used to Liu Che's arrogant behavior from time to time.Quietly stood aside and waited for Liu Che's self-contained battle between heaven and man.After a long while, Liu Che raised his voice unwillingly and said: "Decree, I will drive to Jiaofang Palace tonight."

Outside the hall, there was a small yellow gate that responded immediately: "No!"

Han Yan and the two were relieved.Liu Che silently turned around and sat back on the table, looked at Han Yan and the two and asked a little aggrieved: "Did I..."

In the end, he still had no face to ask.

Zhou Mingjin and Han Yan looked at each other.After a long while, Han Yan cleared her throat, and persuaded: "Actually, the Grand Master Guan Tao is also His Majesty's aunt, and they are all from my own family—"

"Okay?" Liu Che waved his hand in frustration and interrupted Han Yan's words, "Stop talking. There's nothing else to do today anyway. After I change my clothes, you can accompany me out of the palace for a walk!"

The two agreed.Since they had just come to court, both of them were wearing the court clothes of the Taizhong doctor.Fortunately, he lived in the palace for many years, even after moving out, there are still a few old clothes left in the palace.After the two changed, they followed Liu Che and left the palace.

At the gate of the palace, Guo Xie was leaning against the wall of the carriage, waiting boredly!

"I still have some things to do, so I won't go back home. You should drive the carriage back first! Tell Uncle Zhong that you don't need to prepare my meal at noon, and I will go back after eating at Hanzhuang Restaurant later."

Guo Xie agreed and drove away without saying a word.

The three of them walked towards Dongshi on foot.It was the end of the year, and the weather was getting colder and colder.The north wind rustled the dead branches and leaves, and the sky was a clear blue, exuding a cool brilliance.

Due to the promulgation of the recruitment order, there has been a sudden increase in the number of people from outside the city of Chang'an in the past two days.The children of Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, Yin and Yang, vertical and horizontal, commoners in the mountains and fields, and officials who entered the capital for examination, either young or old, the crowd is bustling, shoulder to shoulder.

Shuttle among the eager and passionate crowd, Liu Che's mood improved a lot.

Zhou Mingjin jokingly said: "Your Majesty is still so powerful that the whole world gathers with a piece of imperial edict."

Liu Che shook his head and said, "I don't know how many people are worthy of the name! I don't know how many people will stand out in the next year's assessment. I just hope that the truly virtuous people will not be missed."

"Talents are like gems in the gravel, as long as they have the ability, they can always shine." Han Yan persuaded without thinking. "If a virtuous person doesn't even have the ability to show himself in front of the Ming Lord, it doesn't matter even if he misses it."

Everyone thought about it carefully, and there was indeed three points of truth, so they couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

After talking and laughing, we arrived at Hanzhuang Restaurant.The three went upstairs one after another, and Han Yan, who was behind, looked around casually, and her eyes suddenly froze somewhere——

that back...

"Ayan, what are you doing? Come up soon." Upstairs, Zhou Mingjin shouted loudly.

"Ah! Here we come." Han Yan replied, and when she looked over there again, the figure had disappeared.Shaking his head involuntarily, he muttered to himself, "Could it be that I read it wrong?"

As usual, I asked for a private room facing the street.When Han Yan entered, Liu Che and Zhou Mingjin were lying on the railing looking down with great interest!On the table were several people's favorite refreshments, and the hot air was curling up, giving off a leisurely atmosphere.

Han Yan had just walked to the table and sat down when she heard someone knock on the door twice.Rhythm is a little familiar, she is definitely not a guy from Hanzhuang Restaurant.

Han Yan raised her eyebrows suspiciously, and asked loudly, "Who?"

"It's me, son!" A soft voice came from outside the door.Someone gently opened the door, and a graceful red figure entered.She was combing the most popular high-cloud bun, and a strand of blue silk was draped softly on her chest.Full forehead, curved crescent eyebrows, bright eyes smiling, bright nose and cherry mouth, revealing a piece of white skin on the chest, making people's eyes dodge uncontrollably.The visitor chuckled, walked lightly in front of Han Yan with lotus steps and sat in Han Yan's arms.A sweet and seductive breath rushed over.The woman gently opened her red lips, and asked in a delicate voice: "Master, it's been a long time, do you miss Jiaojiao?"

Seeing the girl's unselfish appearance, Liu Che first rushed into his head with anger. After hearing the girl's words, he looked carefully at her in astonishment, and couldn't help calling out: "Nian Nujiao?"

"Yo, isn't this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Nian Nujiao covered her red lips lightly, and a string of silver bell-like laughter escaped from her mouth.After laughing enough, he suddenly said: "It's not His Royal Highness now, should I be called His Majesty now?"

With that said, she got off Han Yan's lap.Twisting his waist lightly like a water snake, he walked in front of Liu Che, knelt down and said, "Nujia Nian Nujiao, I have seen Your Majesty."

The sound is so sweet that it can crisp a person's bones.

Liu Che couldn't help feeling like his hairs were standing on end.The reason why he could recognize Nian Nujiao at a glance was because the memory of this woman was too clear for him.While still talking to you tenderly and sweetly swearing forever, at the same time mercilessly knocking people unconscious, even throwing them onto the bed like a chicken.Liu Che still remembers such a difference and comparison deeply.

He immediately coughed twice, and said: "Since you are outside the palace, there is no need to be polite, get up quickly!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nian Nujiao lengthened the syllable, and flirted with Liu Che as if provocatively, then weak Liu Fufeng got up.

"Nian Nujiao, aren't you in Liang Country? Why did you come to Beijing suddenly?" Zhou Mingjin asked suspiciously.

When Nian Nujiao heard the words, a smug look suddenly appeared on his face. "Young master, do you know what's going on in Liang Guo?"

Han Yan and the others looked at each other.In the past two months, everyone has been busy with the affairs of Emperor Jing, and other things have really been put down.

"At the beginning, the king of Liang resigned on his own initiative. After the first emperor implemented the decree of favor and divided the kingdom of Liang into five parts, he appointed the eldest son Liu Mai as the king of Liang, the second son Liu Ming as the king of Jichuan, and the third son Liu Pengli as the king of Jidong. The fourth son Liu will be the king of Shanyin, and the fifth son Liu Buzhi will be the king of Jiyin." Nian Nujiao said slowly and methodically while playing with a strand of black hair on her chest.

"We all know these things, so don't keep it up." Han Yan shook her head, and asked Nian Nujiao, "By the way, where is Gongsun Gui? He also came back with you?"

"He's dead." Nian Nujiao waved her arms and said casually. "With this tweet, apart from Liu Mai, the other sons of Liang Wang are very happy. Especially Gongsun Gui and other counselors, under Jiaojiao's bewitching, voted for the enthroned prince, and Liang Wang Liu Buying a separate court to fight against the ceremony. But this King Liang was very angry. He even secretly assassinated the counselors of the princes everywhere, which is quite similar to his father Liu Wu."

When Liu Wu and Liu Che were fighting for the crown prince, they were also bewitched by Wang Zhi to send rangers to Chang'an to assassinate important officials of the court. Later, because of this defeat, they completely lost the opportunity to compete for the crown prince.It's no secret.In history, Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng committed suicide because of this assassination.But later, because of Nian Nujiao's interference, the two of them lived for a few more years.

"So Gongsun Gui was also assassinated by Liu Mai's assassin?" Zhou Mingjin asked with raised eyebrows.

"Not bad!" Nian Nujiao was a little sad when she said this, after all, they have lived together for so long, and they still have some friendship.What's more, Gongsun Gui resisted desperately before he died, and sent her out of the siege.

"I have secretly taken Gongsun Gui's family out of Liang Guo, please don't take offense, my lord." Nian Nujiao knelt down in front of Han Yan to plead guilty.

"It's nothing. Whether Gongsun Gui knows it or not, he has helped us a lot over the years, not to mention he saved you in the end. You should do this." Han Yan shook her head and helped Nian Nujiao up.He added: "But don't let Gongsun Gui's family come into contact with our people and guess what it is."

"Don't worry, my lord, Nian Nujiao knows it well." Nian Nujiao nodded and stopped pestering this.Continued: "The slave family is now Ji Dong Wang Liu Pengli's concubine—"

"What?" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but shout out in astonishment.

"What's the matter, I have a dignified appearance and a virtuous disposition. It's not normal to have more followers!" Nian Nujiao blinked and said shyly.

A few people suddenly felt tired. Nian Nujiao looked at everyone's disapproval, and said unconvinced: "Hey, what kind of expression do you guys have? Don't you believe me? Let me tell you, this time, the slave family entered together with Jidong King Liu Pengli. Beijing."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. "King Jidong has arrived, why hasn't the Taichang Office received any news?"

Thinking of the involvement behind these things, Liu Che couldn't help but sullen.

"Not only Liu Pengli, King of Jidong, Liu Mai, King of Liang, but also Liu Ling, King of Huainan, are here." Nian Nujiao added after thinking about it. "Before he went to Beijing, Liu Ling, the king of Huainan, went to Liang State to find Liu Mai for a long time. Later, Liu Pengli, the king of Jidong, inquired about Liu Ling, as if he was persuading Liu Mai to visit Liang Wang. "Dedicated to the Empress Dowager."

In history, Liu Ling presented "Hong Lie" through Tian Fu, but now that Liu Che ascended the throne early, he handled things relatively softly, and did not directly confront the Empress Dowager.Wei Wan also stayed in the prime minister's seat, and there was no position for Tian Fu.So Liu Ling changed candidates.but--

This Liu Ling is really unwilling to give up!Han Yan scratched her head speechlessly.No wonder the figure he glimpsed at the door just now looked familiar!It must be Liu Ling!

Listening to Nian Nujiao's words, Liu Che's heart became more and more gloomy.These princes have already arrived in the capital, but they kept it secret so that the Taichang Department did not hear any news——

Thinking of this, Liu Che's heart tightened.Tai Changling is the empress dowager's confidant, could it be that he got the news but deliberately concealed it?Thinking of the matter that the Empress Dowager suddenly mentioned to him yesterday that he wanted King Liang to attend the court meeting, Liu Che became more and more depressed.

Since he ascended the throne, this shadowy sense of restraint has once again spread all over his body, making Liu Che almost out of breath.

Han Yan looked at Liu Che's expression, waved her hand to stop Nian Nujiao from chattering, and said softly: "Since you are by King Jidong's side, you should be more careful in doing things. It's getting late, you should go back first! If you have any news or It’s better to use our internal channels, don’t expose yourself.”

Nian Nujiao nodded, she came out today with the excuse of missing the sisters she used to get along with, so she got King Jidong's permission to book a private room in Hanzhuang Restaurant to talk to Luzhu and the others.It's really time to go back.Immediately get up and leave.When he walked to the door, he hesitated for a moment, turned around after hesitation and said: "Your Majesty announced that the world should collect talents. I met a scholar a few days ago and thought he was very interesting..."

When Han Yan heard this, she smiled knowingly.Nian Nujiao jokingly said: "Could it be that you have a crush on him?"

When Nian Nujiao heard the words, her face flushed, and she spat out: "Why did I fall in love with him, it's almost the same if he fell in love with me! I just feel sorry for him and want to talk to the young master!"

Han Yan looked at Nian Nujiao's angry look, and chuckled softly: "Tell me! Who is the 'talent' that Nian Nujiao is looking for?"

Nian Nujiao hesitated for a while, before she said: "This person's surname is Dongfang, and his single name is Shuo. The slave family just thinks he is quite funny. As for whether there are real materials, the slave family does not know. Don't worry about it, sir. , just treat it as a joke."

When Han Yan heard this, she felt it was funny on the face, but she was shocked in her heart.The ghost Dongfang Shuo, why did she fall in love with him?What a coincidence.
