Chapter 1040 Emperor Liu's Filial Piety
The Ciming Hall was in a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Empress Fu and Concubine Zhe were there. Concubine Gao came over to express her condolences when she learned about the situation, together with several princes and daughters, it was very lively.

The main character is naturally Liu Fang, and I had my grandmother, aunt, and biological mother check it out, and they were all in good condition, so I felt relieved.As for Liu Fang, he also took off his armor and vividly told everyone about Nanzheng's experience. This kid is quite eloquent, he can create an atmosphere, and his description of things is vivid and attractive, especially for those who have never been out. The little princes and princesses of the palace are particularly attractive.

However, the arrival of Emperor Liu interrupted the royal family's internal story. The concubines hurriedly saluted, and the children also paid respects to the emperor's father in a respectful manner.He held Liu Zhao, the tenth son of Empress Fu, in his arms, and went forward to greet the Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager Li's aging and frailty are already visible to the naked eye. Her gray hair and tight wrinkles all tell the traces of time.Liu Chengyou sighed slightly in his heart, and said: "Mother, your grandson has returned safely and triumphantly, so you can feel at ease this time!"

With a loving smile on his face, Mrs. Li looked at Liu Chengyou, and said, "It's a pity that Dalang and Erlang are still in Jiangnan, and the New Year is coming soon."

Hearing this, Emperor Liu immediately said: "Don't worry, the water town in the south of the Yangtze River has raised people, and the situation there has been stabilized for the first time. They can come back before the Shangyuan Festival next year!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "I don't mean that. The land of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, who first entered the Han Dynasty, has a lot of clues. At the time of harmony and harmony, since you let them represent the royal family as princes and princes to calm the government and appease the people, you will Don't delay state affairs because of your own personal thoughts!"

For so many years, the queen mother has no shortage of personal preferences, but when it comes to public affairs and justice, she has always understood righteousness.This is also what Emperor Liu most admired and respected for this old mother for a long time.

"Your words are serious. I have made arrangements with the imperial court to deal with the aftermath of the south of the Yangtze River. They can't miss a big deal! They are still young, how can they seriously entrust big things to them? Let them go out this time for the purpose of experience. Going out for a few months , it is also time for them to come back, not only to comfort the family, but also to have an assessment!" Liu Chengyou laughed.

"By the way, my uncle has been away for many years, and next year I plan to transfer him back to Tokyo to work!" Looking at his mother's old face, Liu Chengyou said again.

After saying this, Mrs. Li looked at Emperor Liu suspiciously. Did she know that Liu Chengyou didn't like Li Ye very much all this time.Feeling the doubts in his mother's eyes, Liu Chengyou took the initiative to explain: "Uncle has been working outside for more than ten years. He has done a lot of things and has some achievements. I am artificial. With his current ability, he is also enough for Daozhou Go to Beijing and work in the central government!"

Hearing what he said, Li's benevolent eyebrows and eyes were completely relaxed, and she was as gentle as before, and said: "This is a matter between your monarch and his ministers. If you think it is appropriate, and the ministers have no objections, you can arrange it yourself. You don't need to ask me, this woman. people!"

That being said, the joy on the brows of the Empress Dowager was too strong.

Ever since Liu Chengyou dismissed several high-ranking uncles from their posts and powers, after so many years, the Empress Dowager Li has never taken the initiative to seek honor for her younger brothers and the Li family.Basically, it was Liu Chengyou himself who, from time to time, took the initiative to express concern about this.

Qianyou got up early, like his uncles Li Hongxin, Li Hongyin, and Li Hongwei, who played a big role in the imperial army, and later became Jiezhen one after another.However, these uncles, except for Li Hongwei, lack talent and personal morality, and their official reputation is not good.

Therefore, Liu Chengyou's right to release his mother's relatives, of course, has power considerations, but it is more because they really do not have enough ability to hold high positions in the court. On the other hand, they continue to reverse the court's military and political affairs Some bad style between.

The queen mother is not a saint, but she really cares about her younger brothers. Although she doesn't say anything, she is depressed in her heart.Fortunately, Li Hongxin and Li Hongyin had a prosperous life in Luoyang, and they could visit Kaifeng from time to time to meet and greet them. Li Hongwei was still in great use, and now he is the commander of Hedong Capital.

And the one who received the most care and love from the Empress Dowager Li was the youngest brother Li Ye.Because in the early years, he was unwilling to be lonely in the court, and tried to show off and disturb the wind and rain, which violated the taboo of Emperor Liu. Liu Chengyou directly put Li Ye in Yuanzhou as the governor.

In the following ten years, Li Ye successively served as the chief envoy of Zhengzhou, Jinzhou, Heyang, and now Huaibei.After such a long time, it is only when I go to Beijing to report on my work that I can see each other and talk about my siblings.

Of course, in the process of being transferred to various states, Uncle Li Guo also made some famous achievements, and his political achievements are definitely there. All previous evaluations have been above average.But this is obviously a tossing character, every time he takes office, there will always be some problems.

In Wonju, he cracked down on smuggling, but his network made a lot of profits from it; in Zhengzhou, he built rivers and embankments, built roads and dredged canals, and the labor force was too heavy; in Jinzhou, there were no major problems, but Because Li Shaoyou, Duke of Shouguo, was worshiped as the chief envoy of Guanzhong, he expressed some complaints, expressing in his speeches that he is an uncle, and his title and official position are not as good as that of a nephew.
Although this brother-in-law has all sorts of problems, overall, after more than ten years of local job experience, he has been tempered and has the ability to handle affairs. It is much stronger.Otherwise, no matter what, he would never be given authority.

Of course, Emperor Liu's decision to transfer Li Ye back to the Central Committee definitely did not rule out the reason for pleasing his mother.The old queen mother's health is getting worse every year, and there is no telling when there will be a great funeral in the country.Although I don't want to think about that, I have to be prepared. At least, I can understand my mother and open up her heart disease as much as I can.

"By the way, I have ordered people to go to Huashan, and I will invite Taoist Chen Tuan to come to Beijing to teach mother scriptures and Taoism." Liu Chengyou said again.

From Emperor Liu's words and demeanor, the Empress Dowager could feel that kind of filial piety, and Li Shi couldn't help but said gratifiedly: "You have a heart!"

After leaving the Hall of Ciming, Liu Chengyou called Liu Fang, and the father and son walked among the icy palaces.Walking around, looking at Liu Fang who was about the same size as himself, Liu Chengyou smiled lightly and said, "Sure enough, as your third uncle said, you are much more energetic and compact!"

In front of the emperor's father, Liu Fang seemed to be a little reluctant to let go. There was a sense of seriousness as a soldier facing a commander, probably because he had really joined the army once.Seeing this, Liu Chengyou couldn't help saying: "Why, are you so reserved in front of me?"

Hearing this, Liu Fang just smiled, and replied: "If you go to Lingnan, you should grow up and benefit from it!"
