Han Shizu

Chapter 1238 "Following advice"

"Officials!" After being notified to enter, Concubine Gao ignored Yan Tuo, who was saluting, and looked at Emperor Liu who was sitting on the kang with a pensive expression, and called out softly.

"You're here. Sit down!" Looking up at the half-aged imperial concubine, Emperor Liu showed a gentle smile, and reached out to pat the hot kang.

Concubine Gao was not restrained, bowed gracefully, then leaned forward, her big buttocks naturally pressed against the edge of the kang, looked at Emperor Liu, and asked with concern: "How do you feel?"

After hearing the question, Emperor Liu said: "The imperial doctor has finished acupuncture and moxibustion, and I feel much better. I can't help sweating when I stay on this kang. I see, in Luoyang Palace, you can also build some kangs. Don't think it's vulgar. It’s good if it can keep warm, the people can use it, but I can’t use it?”

Seeing that Emperor Liu was in good spirits, Concubine Gao also had a relieved expression, and took out two tubular furs from her bosom, and said, "These are the two leggings I sewed. superior!"

Feeling the imperial concubine's affection, Emperor Liu's eyes became softer. He picked it up and touched it. It was soft and obviously made of high-quality materials. Some rare beast had been skinned.In front of the imperial concubine, Emperor Liu put it on, stretched his legs, and said to her: "Not bad, it fits right and is comfortable!"

Seeing this, Concubine Gao Gui was naturally very pleased. Although Emperor Liu acted deliberately, he finally satisfied the woman.I put my hands in, a pair of hands that were no longer crystal clear, and gently rubbed Emperor Liu's calf. Concubine Gao asked: "I just saw Doctor Sun, and he was trembling, what happened?"

Hearing this, Emperor Liu couldn't help being amused, and replied: "It's no big deal, the imperial physician, who gave me acupuncture and medicine, has always been restrained. He should only be afraid of scaring himself. If he is so timid, how can he make an accurate diagnosis and rejuvenate?" "

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Concubine Gao Guifei said: "I think it's not that the imperial physician is timid, but that the officials are too majestic, and the ministers dare not be intimidated, or even dare to speak up!"

"Am I so scary?" Emperor Liu seemed to have no self-awareness, and said casually: "I have always opened up the way of speaking and listened to the crowd, why have I blocked the way of speaking?"

After saying that, he came back to his senses, staring at Concubine Gao's mature face, and said with a light smile, "You seem to have something in your words! If you have something to say, you can speak it out!"

"I really can't hide my knowledge from the eyes of the officials!" Concubine Gao was also calm, she gave a small compliment, and then said: "Before I came, I met the uncle of the country!"

"He asked you to speak to me!" Emperor Liu pointed out directly.

The imperial concubine was slightly surprised, and asked, "Has the official known about it?"

"He stayed in front of the court for so long, how could I not know!" Emperor Liu said, "Even, I know what he asked you to do!"

As he spoke, Emperor Liu couldn't help sighing, and said, "My uncle! If you have anything to say, can't you tell me directly? You have to go around this detour before you open your mouth. If I speak out with reason, will I blame him? And the prime minister, sometimes, he still lacks structure."

"The so-called unfathomable power of the sky and the immeasurable depth of the government, when ministers speak and do things, they will inevitably hesitate and hold back their hands!" The noble concubine replied.

Emperor Liu: "This is the art of controlling ministers. As an emperor, how can you let your ministers see through everything? The king's prestige is not important, and the imperial power will be swept away sooner or later."

Seeing Emperor Liu's serious appearance, Concubine Gao laughed, and said: "What the officials say is reasonable, why argue with me, a woman!"

Seeing this, Emperor Liu couldn't help but smile again, and waved his hand: "I'm used to it!"

Looking at Emperor Liu, Concubine Gao said, "Since the officials know the intention of my uncle's visit, I don't need to say any more!"

Emperor Liu shook his head: "Since you have become the messenger of the uncle of the country, you must always put this in place! What he said, you repeat it again, I have the right to listen!"

Seeing Emperor Liu's playful expression, the imperial concubine did not delay, and directly presented Li Ye's words of advice.After listening, Emperor Liu's reaction was relatively flat, and he just said leisurely: "It's still the same cliché!"

After pondering for a while, Emperor Liu asked the noble concubine: "What's your opinion, should we go on?"

"No matter where the official's family is, I will accompany him!" Gao Guifei said.

Hearing his words, Emperor Liu grinned and said, "Don't flatter me! Tell me your truest thoughts!"

Looking at Emperor Liu, the imperial concubine's jade face gradually became serious. After a little hesitation, she still said seriously: "The officials want me to tell the truth, so I will tell the truth. In my opinion, I can't go on, even if I don't For the consideration of the people who accompany you, as the ruler of a country, you should also consider your own body!

Although Hexi belongs to the country, the officials want to visit personally. Everyone appreciates this ambition. When you come to Guzang, the officials and the people can also feel your sincerity.

However, this place is remote after all, and the water, soil and climate are very different from those in the Central Plains, so it is difficult for travelers to adapt in a short time.In the camp, so many injuries are proof.

This was the case for all the soldiers, and not all the accompanying princes, ministers, and palace servants were in good health, and quite a few fell ill.In such a season, it is really not a good choice for a tour! "

"It's not like I didn't go on a winter tour back then!" Emperor Liu said, and he remembered Qianyou's military tour to Hebei in the winter of the second year.Perhaps it was also the experience of inspecting the personal conquests in the past that gave Emperor Liu an illusion, making him stubborn and stubborn, and he would not listen to persuasion.

Concubine Gao replied calmly: "That time, I didn't go so far, the journey was not as complicated and difficult as this time, and the official's legs have not suffered from the wind paralysis."

"Why don't I know!" Emperor Liu was silent for a while, and finally murmured in a low voice. Although his expression was still stubborn, his attitude seemed to be a little looser.

"I'll think about it again!" Emperor Liu said.

"Yes!" Concubine Gao Gui replied without further words.

Emperor Liu thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "I'm afraid I'm not going to continue westward in the camp!"

"Well, I don't know, the officials might as well ask, aren't you always sympathetic?" Concubine Gao said, although she said so, but the meaning revealed from her face is almost the same.

"Everyone wishes so, why didn't you say anything this time?" Emperor Liu felt a little embarrassed when he said this.

"Rock off!"

"The little one is here!" Yan Tuo, who was standing by the side as a transparent person, responded immediately.

"Tell Luo Yanyu to come and see you!" Emperor Liu ordered.

After waiting for about half an hour, Luo Yanyu hurriedly arrived at Xingzai for an audience, and Emperor Liu summoned him directly in front of the royal kang.With a solemn expression and a serious tone, he asked: "Soldiers and soldiers in the camp, how is the situation? Have the casualties been properly arranged?"

Sensing the emperor's tone, Luo Yanguan didn't dare to be negligent, and responded seriously: "Return to Your Majesty, there are the Guzang government and the garrison, the battalion soldiers have been fully contained, and all supplies have been dispatched. The frostbitten and sick soldiers are also They are scattered and arranged, and enough medicinal materials are prepared for treatment!"

"Before we set off from Lingzhou, didn't we replenish supplies enough? Why is there such a big damage?" Emperor Liu stood up sideways and stared at Luo Yanyu.

Luo Yanlu sighed and explained: "Your Majesty, there are still many soldiers who are not acclimatized. In this cold winter, the wind is fierce, and the supplies to keep out the cold can only be relieved. In addition, after Zhongwei crossed the river, the sudden cold wave made the soldiers We were caught off guard, and half of all frostbite emergencies occurred that night."

"After a period of rest, can we continue walking?" Emperor Liu stared at Luo Yanyu.

Emperor Liu's eyes did not have a trace of turmoil, and he looked very peaceful, but facing this question, Luo Yanyu remained silent.After a long time, as if after a very difficult psychological decision, Luo Yanyu cupped his hands and gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, I can't continue. I'm a warrior and I don't know much. However, whether it was the Southern Expedition or the Northern Expedition, Feng Qi In this season, the whole army is also dormant, waiting for the weather to warm up.

The ministers are willing to go through fire and water with His Majesty. However, although this tour to the west is not a battle, the suffering of marching is no less than that of combat. The non-combat casualties are already so heavy, please think again! "

"Get up!" Seeing the sincerity of Luo Yanyu's words, he was about to suffer. Emperor Liu sighed with a wry smile, and then said: "It seems that I am too conceited, and I take it for granted. I am stubborn and decisive, and I don't listen to the words of my subordinates. It is my fault that the tired soldiers suffered such unnecessary casualties!"

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Luo Yanguan immediately comforted him: "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself, it's the ministers who didn't do a good job!"

This is what makes him different from most martial artists. Luo Yanyu is very capable, has eyesight, and can speak, and often just right.

"Arrange it, I will personally visit the soldiers in the camp!" Emperor Liu said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

In the afternoon of that day, Emperor Liu bowed down to inspect the barracks, focusing on visiting the wounded and sick soldiers. Feeling that the soldiers were not easy, he announced in public that he would not leave.
After all, Emperor Liu was not a stubborn person. The reality was so clearly in front of him that he put away his increasingly stubborn temper.

At the same time, not only the climate, people's hearts, but also his legs are considered, and he is indeed reminded at all times not to be stubborn.Although Emperor Liu cared more and more about face, compared with the deep and timely pain response of the body, it seems that it is not so difficult to swallow the big words.
As the emperor, who hasn't made any black material? Moreover, who would dare to make fun of Emperor Liu for such a decision that conforms to people's hearts?
