Tragedy of Time Traveling Companion Reading

At night, the inner house of the Han Mansion——

Just after dinner, Liu Che lay crookedly on the beauty's couch, carefully watching the information collected by the people below.After a long while, with a cold snort, he threw the silk silk onto the short table in front of him, and said with some disdain: "I knew there would be nothing good if she was around. Sure enough, there was a commotion."

Han Yan shook her head, folded the silk neatly and put it aside, and said, "Even if she has some tricks, fortunately, we are already prepared. We won't be caught off guard during the court meeting."

"Hmph!" Liu Che curled his lips and stopped talking.He reached out and picked a few grapes from the fruit plate in front of him and threw them into his mouth. "The whole big man, you are the only one who lives comfortably here."

"Your Majesty's words made me panic. You know, I sent these fresh melons and fruits to the palace just when they were ripe. All the ones from the Han family are selected for the palace." Han Yan looked solemn. explained.It's just that the occasional playful flashes in his eyes revealed that he didn't take Liu Che's words to heart at all.

"You can understand what I'm saying." Liu Che said, turning over and sitting up, staring straight at Han Yan and said: "I mean, as long as you are there, I feel comfortable."

"..." Han Yan was speechless for a moment.At some point, Liu Che became more and more tired of talking to him.Uncomfortably turning his face away, he changed the subject. "Didn't you say you're going to Jiaofangdian tonight? It's almost time, so go!"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Liu Che's eyes, and he murmured, "It's still a little early, I'll stay for a while."

Listening to Liu Che's words, Han Yan suddenly felt a little funny. "I said, what about you—"

"Huh?" Liu Che raised his eyebrows.

"Employ people forward, don't use people backward." Han Yan muttered.Taking advantage of Liu Che not being able to hear clearly, he changed the subject and said, "Even partners must be sincere during the cooperation period, okay? You made an appointment to have a conversation with someone and ended up being late by yourself. This is not good!"

Liu Che frowned in annoyance, looked up to the sky and sighed, "Hey!"

Han Yan looked at Liu Che's bored appearance, shrugged, and walked lazily to sit beside Liu Che.He even touched the top of Liu Che's head as a gesture of comfort.Liu Che took advantage of the situation and lay down in his arms.Sensing Liu Che's fiery body, Han Yan was also a little dazed. Regardless of his previous life or present life, he had been indoctrinated with the idea that "a friend's wife should not be played with." Now his relationship with Liu Che and Gillian always makes him feel at a loss.There is a faint feeling that I am a "little three".The thought disturbed him.Why does it feel like a QY novel, TME is so "uncontrollable"?

Imagine some scenes of himself or Liu Che pretending to be "a little bird leaning on someone" and leaning against another person, and saying to Gillian with blurred eyes: "Please, show mercy and help us!", Han Yan shivered with aversion to the cold and nausea, and shook her head in shock.

Liu Che raised his eyes and looked at Han Yan, frowning and changing face, with a hint of loneliness and disapproval in the excitement.Although he didn't know what Han Yan was thinking, his years of habit made him probably guess what Han Yan was thinking, but he didn't know how to persuade him.She had no choice but to get up and quietly move to sit next to Han Yan, taking advantage of the opportunity to hug Han Yan into her arms.He said sullenly, "Don't think about it."

After a long silence, Han Yan shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should go back to the palace."

Liu Che's heart became more and more sad, so he nodded, got up and walked to the secret door. The moment the secret door was opened, Liu Che turned his head and said to Han Yan, "I like you."

Han Yan was taken aback when she heard this.Staring blankly at the direction in which Liu Che disappeared, he remained silent for a long time.

Since the fact that the princes and kings entered Beijing privately has been exposed, Liu Che has no patience to play riddles with the princes and kings.He personally notified the Taichang Administration to receive the princes who came to Beijing according to the old routine.He even disclosed the hiding places of the princes from all walks of life to the Taichang Office.When Tai Changling received the imperial decree and went to the hiding places of the princes with ceremonial battles and beating gongs and drums, everyone was immediately terrified by the little emperor's intelligence.Some people who harbor evil intentions or want to stand on the sidelines and watch the excitement can't help being vigilant, and their behavior has become more and more restrained.Only those palace ministers who sincerely supported the emperor were overjoyed and praised the young emperor's wise actions even more.

The next day, according to the titles of the princes who had already entered Beijing, the Taichang Office arranged for them to enter the palace for an audience, and then returned to their official residences in Beijing to rest.In the early morning of the first day of the first lunar month, all the princes and kings who entered Beijing brought leather and jasper to congratulate the emperor on the first month.Known as "Law".I don't know what Gillian and Guantao Chief Taizhu told the Empress Dowager, anyway, there was no former Liang Wang Liu Wu in this court meeting.Liu Maiyong hadn't seen him for a long time, and on the pretext of missing his father, he openly asked to see King Liang at the court meeting. His words revealed that he had obtained the permission of the Empress Dowager, and was waiting for Liu Che's words.Liu Che was silent for a long time, and then diverted from the discussion.

According to the law of the Han Dynasty, after three days of "seeing the law", the emperor held a banquet for the princes and kings and rewarded them with money and property.That afternoon, Han Yan went to Changle Palace to greet the Empress Dowager as usual.Just in time to see Princess Guantao and Gillian coaxing the Empress Dowager from ear to ear.

"Han Yan, the doctor of the Taizhong, has seen the empress dowager, the chief Taoist, and the queen." Han Yan stepped forward and bowed.

"But Ah Yan is here? Hurry up and find a place to sit down, how many hours are there before the banquet! Find a place to rest, when the time comes, let's go together." The Empress Dowager waved, Signal Han Yan to sit down quickly.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Han Yan responded, and the little palace maid at the side hurriedly cleared out a seat for Han Yan to sit down.

"But I haven't seen you for a while. After His Majesty ascended the throne, you didn't go into the harem very much. In fact, if you want me to tell you, you are too careful. With your status, it's fine even if you go in and out of the palace at any time. For nothing. An imperial plaque is hanging around her waist. You haven't said anything to come and see me for so long." Gillian pouted. "You don't even know, I almost didn't suffocate me in the past six months."

Han Yan smiled slightly. He insisted on not seeing Gillian for the past six months because he was a little cautious.Hearing Gillian's words, she immediately flattered her and said, "There are too many things going on recently. I will tell the shopkeeper of Qibaozhai to collect some new gadgets and send them to Tangyihou's mansion later. Then let the Taoist chief Taizhu give it to the queen."

"That's about the same." Gillian nodded in satisfaction, and immediately asked: "I've been very bored recently, Ah Yan, can you give me an idea, can you find something for me to do?"

When Han Yan heard this, she frowned thoughtfully.For a while, he really didn't expect that there was anything interesting to introduce to Gillian.Going shopping is definitely not an option, the women around me in my previous life only had this little hobby, or a beauty salon...

Seeing this, the Taoist Master Guan quickly scolded A-Jiao: "Why is this child getting older and more ignorant. Now A-Yan is being used by His Majesty, and there are many things, so don't trouble him."

He looked at Han Yan with admiration, and praised: "What a good child, it's a pity that I don't have a second daughter, otherwise I must tell Ah Yan about coal."

"A Yan has already decided on a marriage. She is the little granddaughter of Dou Ying's family. It's not like you don't know, so don't make trouble." The Empress Dowager shook her head helplessly after listening to Guan Tao's words.

Listening to what the Empress Dowager said, Guantao curled his lips and said softly. "Pity."

Everyone knew it well, after all, Dou Ying's heart was not really towards the Dou family and the Chen family, if they hadn't really lost a more suitable in-law, they would not have taken advantage of Dou Ying.

Gillian said even more dissatisfied. "It's my grandmother who is worried. That girl is only 14 years old, and she hasn't reached the age of Ji. How good can it be? In my opinion, let's see each other again. Maybe there is something better?"

Han Yan shook her head with a wry smile.But such a stubble, it actually diverted Gillian's words.Han Yan didn't mention it either, but she was thinking about it—maybe it's a good market once it's done.Help others and help yourself!

The Empress Dowager and Guantao didn't talk to each other, and changed the topic wisely.

"I heard that His Majesty asked you to arrange a banquet tonight. It just happens to be fine, so just tell me, what's new this time?" The Empress Dowager picked up an orange, thinking of Han Yan again, casually Putting it down, he ordered in his mouth: "Peel another apple for the old man!"

"It's nothing, but it uses all kinds of fresh vegetables, melons, fruits, pears and peaches, so that the princes and kings can taste something new in the winter. The dishes are basically a few dishes that the eunuch is good at, and the wine is ten years old. The palace brewed purple gold alcohol." Han Yan said a few words indifferently, then added after a pause: "It's just that His Majesty specially ordered that the meals on the Empress Dowager's table should be steamed very well, so that the Empress Dowager will not eat too much. Digest."

"Your Majesty manages a lot of things every day, and is busy changing things. How can he still have the energy to take care of his old body. I'm afraid Ah Yan is more careful, and think about me, an old woman!" The Empress Dowager snorted coldly and said slowly.

Han Yan's heart sank, and she subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Guan Tao, and saw that she shook her head calmly to herself with a smile on her face.He knew it was nothing serious, it was just a bit of grudge because the old lady was not able to attend the banquet because of King Liang.He didn't care about it, and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager has really wronged Your Majesty. Your Majesty is a pure and filial person, and every dish to be presented to the Empress Dowager at this banquet has been personally watched by Your Majesty. If you If you don't believe me, you can ask the food supervisor carefully."

"What do I ask this for? Is it possible that you really have nothing to do?" The Empress Dowager said she was reluctant, but her face softened a lot.There was a hint of joy in the corners of the eyes and brows. Han Yan saw that she knew nothing had happened.Also slightly relieved.With the deepening of the emperor's decree, the dispute between the emperor and the empress has also begun to appear. There are some things that cannot be alleviated by family love and blood.For this kind of ideological battle, one party must make compromises, otherwise, the bloody storm that will be set off will never end.

Han Yan had a headache, but she didn't know how to resolve it.I have to take one step at a time.While thinking about it, I heard the Empress Dowager ask as if chatting about family affairs: "How is your majesty's recruitment order going?"

Han Yan responded: "Prime Minister Wei Wan is in charge of this matter. So Ah Yan is not very clear about the details. But walking on the streets of Chang'an City every day, you can see an endless stream of foreigners. I think it's all because of His Majesty's recruitment order. Looking at it like this, the court selection will be more prosperous in the next year. This is the first major event of the court in the first year of Jianyuan. It is not in vain if it can be done vigorously. His Majesty is thinking about and urging him every day." ""

"Human nature has always been to go with the flow and follow what others say. Many of them are just to join in the fun, and they are not necessarily talents. From my own experience, at critical moments, those who have been carefully cultivated by the children of aristocratic families can take care of it." The Queen Mother shook her head and said.After pondering for a moment, he still couldn't hold back, and said worriedly: "It stands to reason that the old man shouldn't talk too much, but His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and he is young and energetic. It is good to want to make a big career. But it is inevitable A little thoughtless, if you have a chance, you should give His Majesty a suggestion and ask him to pay attention to checks and balances. The emperor's art focuses on checks and balances."

The implication is, don't choose Confucianists all at once.

"Ayan knows." Han Yan smiled and nodded.Immediately said: "In fact, His Majesty also knows it well, the Empress Dowager can rest assured."

Listening to Han Yan's words, the Empress Dowager sighed softly. "Che'er has been seen by the old man since he was a child. The old man naturally knows what he looks like. The old man is worried about Wei Wan. This old man is very scheming and patient. He was the prime minister when he was the first emperor. Now His Majesty trusted him again and gave him greater rights. I am afraid that he will use this to confuse His Majesty and do things that shake the foundation of the country."

The empress dowager's hatred of Confucianism is due to the government and the opposition.Also, he didn't like Wei Wan, a loyal Confucian student.It's just that Wei Wan is Han Yan's teacher after all, and the son never speaks of his father's faults, nor his teacher's faults.Han Yan couldn't say much, so she just kept silent.

The Empress Dowager also knew Han Yan's concerns, so she didn't say any more.Instead, the palace maid took several bamboo slips and put them in front of Han Yan. "This is a gift from King Huainan this time. It is "Hong Lie" written by King Huainan for decades. The book's explanation of Taoism is very classic. This is what our Liu family should do. He I also asked the old man to give this book a name. The old man thought that since this book was written by the King of Huainan, why not call it "Book of the King of Huainan", what does Ah Yan think?"

Han Yan's reputation for this book is almost overwhelming.It's just that he hasn't read all the contents of "Book of the King of Huainan". He only vaguely remembers "Secret Art in the Room" in it. Han Yan was shocked when he heard it!

The Empress Dowager waited for a while, but didn't see Han Yan's answer, so she didn't care. "Your Majesty always wants to change the law. But what will happen to those who reformed easily in the past, let alone Shang Yang in the pre-Qin period who was smashed by a car. What will happen to Xin Yuanping in the previous dynasty?"

Han Yan glanced at Mrs. Guantao, and the two looked at each other and smiled.Gillian at the side looked at Guan Tao inexplicably, then turned to look at Han Yan, but she didn't understand what they were laughing at.

The Empress Dowager said: "Everything in the world can only be made with one yuan. Therefore, although the big man respects the theory of Huang Lao's inaction. However, there are many schools of Legalism, military strategists, Yin and Yang, and vertical and horizontal schools, and the court did not care too much. No matter what Theory, as long as it can work for the imperial court. Besides, Huang Lao’s inaction rule is not a pool of stagnant water. Lao Tzu said that Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets infinity. This is the foundation of the court’s development. If it is like Wei Wan If you let the court use Confucianism to govern the country, I am afraid that the country will become a stagnant pool in the future! Therefore, in my opinion, this "Book of the King of Huainan" is the second to the court. It is the beginning of change. Your majesty should read it carefully This book is."

Han Yan replied with a smile: "Empress Dowager, in fact, Ah Yan thinks this "Book of the King of Huainan" is quite 'two'. The Empress Dowager is really right."

The Empress Dowager only heard that Han Yan's tone was a little strange, as if there was a feeling of gloating in it, and she couldn't figure it out.Shaking his head, he continued: "Since you think it's right, you should suggest that Your Majesty read this book more."

"Well, don't worry, the Empress Dowager! If Ah Yan finds an opportunity, she will definitely let His Majesty study more." Especially the part of "Secret Art in the Room".Han Yan signed the ticket with confidence.His gaze swept across Gillian strangely, but he didn't know if Gillian would be able to conceive a baby after this study.

Gillian was a little horrified by Han Yan's look. She couldn't understand what Han Yan was thinking, so she couldn't help but ask, "What do you see me doing?"

"Nothing?" Han Yan shook her head innocently, then changed the topic and said, "It's getting late, shouldn't we go to Xuanshi Hall?"

The Empress Dowager finished what she wanted to say, and after asking about the time, she immediately made a decision and said, "Then get up!"

"No!" Everyone bowed in response.
