Han Shizu

Chapter 1285 The emperor is still afraid of the queen

The scorching sun is like a fire, projecting between the palaces, illuminating the places where the sunlight reaches, and releasing heat at the same time. Fortunately, there are palaces and pavilions blocking it, and in the vertical arched palace, you can still feel a bit of coolness.

At this time, in the Chuigong Palace, there is such a scene. The servants in the palace are bowing their heads and hands, and they are cautious, not daring to make too many movements. The ups and downs, obviously angry, made the atmosphere in the hall a bit depressed.

As for Emperor Liu, he stood close to him, caressing the back of the big talisman with one hand, and holding a fan with the other, fanning the queen courteously, with a smile on his face, he said: "Don't be angry! It hurts your health, this weather is already unbearable." If you are irritable, don't be sulking again! Liu Fang and Liu Min are two boys who are always assertive and youthful. I originally only planned to let them go to the north to sharpen their skills, but I didn't expect them to be so bold. , dare to take such risks”

Seeing that Emperor Liu lowered his posture and spoke softly, Empress Fu felt a little ungrateful, and squinted at him: "They are good at military affairs. You have to practice them and perfect them. I have no objection, but you have to be moderate. Going too far is not enough." The truth, don’t you understand? You still have to hide it from us and cover up for them!

My sister-in-law entered the palace, and when she talked about this matter, she couldn't help crying, Liu Min is only 16 years old, you just let him go to the battlefield, and go to the distant and dangerous Mobei!Don't think I don't understand, even if you don't fight the Liao people, marching is dangerous every step of the way, as a father, you can rest assured like this, how can you bear it?
You didn't see the appearance of sister-in-law crying, because of Liu Min's love, you are about to have a heart attack."

This is the outbreak of the two brothers Liu Fang and Liu Min going out of the fortress. Before that, Emperor Liu ordered the news to be blocked to avoid the worries of mothers such as the queen, the concubine Xian and the princess Wei.

However, news, there will always be a day when it leaks.No, after the incident, the queen came to her door.In fact, Emperor Liu admired the unanimous decision of Liu Fang and Liu Min's two sons. Regardless of the success or failure of this trip, he was very pleased with the fighting spirit they showed, and they did not fall into the majesty and honor of the heavenly family.

Of course, in the face of a big talisman that protects the calf, Emperor Liu had to comfort him and comforted him: "These two sons are bold and reckless, and they don't know what to fear. When they return to Beijing, they must be taught a lesson!"

"Can you guarantee that they will come back safely?" Da Fu still said nothing.

Emperor Liu's expression was slightly stagnant, and then he sighed: "Don't talk about sister-in-law, Liu Min is your own, and their brothers are also my seed. As parents, how can you not worry about your children? It's just that they are fighting outside the territory with the army. , The imperial court also lost the news, the matter has come to this point, it is no longer under the control of me and the imperial court, I can only pray for them, I hope they will be safe and triumphant!

Furthermore, during the Northern Expedition, hundreds of thousands of soldiers fought bloody battles, and who of the soldiers who fought with them in the northern desert did not have parents?Their parents, why not worry.

However, as my sons, as the princes of the big man, they want to become the pillars of the court. Since they have made a choice and are willing to shoulder their own missions and responsibilities, we should also support and recognize them. My son has a generous ambition, and you are mothers Yes, you can't hold them back. If it gets out, how will others think about it? "

Seeing Emperor Liu's words reach this level, Da Fu finally sighed, his expression softened, and he said quietly, "Why don't I know?"

Obviously, Dafu is a smart woman with a strong political vision, and she knows in her heart that Emperor Liu will not do anything about this matter.With this performance, it's just worrying about Aizi too much.

"You and I have been husband and wife for many years, and I know that you have always understood righteousness and took care of the overall situation!" Seeing that Dafu's expression softened, Emperor Liu's expression also relaxed, and said: "When they return to Beijing, it's up to you to deal with them!"

"I hope they can return safely! Otherwise, I don't know how distressed Concubine Xian and sister-in-law are!" Da Fu said.

Emperor Liu continued to fan the big talisman, and said: "Sister-in-law has always regarded Liu Min as her own son. After so many years, the love for her son is naturally deep. If there is a mistake because of this, it will be my fault. Sister-in-law , I still trouble you to comfort me.”

"I will try my best!"

It was still the same as in the past. Many things were done by Dafu to wipe Emperor Liu's ass and deal with the aftermath. Emperor Liu himself was used to it. The stability of the Dahan court was mostly due to the empress Fu.

After Dafu left, Emperor Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip, his expression changed for a while, and he asked Yantuo with a wry smile: "Tell me, am I a little afraid of the queen?" ?”

This may be a fatal question, Yan Tuo smiled: "This is the deep relationship between the official and the empress, so why not be afraid or not."

"Haha!" Emperor Liu laughed lightly for a while, and then said: "It's better for the Xian Concubine to worry about not coming to me for questioning!"

"The two brothers Liu Fang and Liu Min are really courageous and worthy of being my sons! However, they attacked generously, and I am tired of this blame." After a long time, Emperor Liu murmured: "I hope they can make some achievements. , come back safely!"

As he said, while affirming the choice of the two brothers Liu Fang, why didn't Emperor Liu feel worried?After all, it was his son, and a very valued son.It's just that it is not Emperor Liu's style to express these weak emotions.

While pondering, Emperor Liu's thoughts raced. He remembered an apology written by Liu Tinghan not long ago. He made a detailed report on his failure to return from the fortress. Consciously ashamed of the court and the trust of the emperor, please punish yourself.Of course, he still explained the impatience and aggressiveness in the army, as well as some guesses and judgments he had made about the situation and the movements of the Liao Kingdom.

In fact, although the Privy Council and the Ministry of War do not lack famous generals such as Shi Shouxin, Cao Bin, and Pan Mei, and the court also has capable ministers who plan strategies, when it comes to the situation on the battlefield, the grasp of the ever-changing fighters depends on the generals at the front Therefore, their understanding and judgment of the battlefield situation is the most valuable.

Therefore, Emperor Liu was not too harsh on Liu Tinghan's "fear of war" for not advancing and returning without success.On the contrary, in order to appease him, he returned a written reply, telling Liu Tinghan that sometimes the power of an arrow that leaves the string is not as powerful as that of a bow. His [-] army is a sharp arrow ready to be fired. The power is given to Liu Tinghan, how to control it is up to him to decide.

From the heart, Liu Tinghan's prudence is quite acceptable to Emperor Liu. After all, it is in line with his habits. In the past, he made many bold and risky decisions, but in essence, he is still a serious and stable monarch.

At the same time, in view of the huge pressure on Liu Tinghan brought by the disagreement between the generals and schools in the army, Emperor Liu also asked the Privy Council to draw up a draft with harsh words to warn the soldiers in the middle road to establish Liu Tinghan's authority and relieve his pressure.

Regardless of the specific thoughts in his mind, it has to be said that Emperor Liu still fully respects and trusts his generals, and does not judge success or failure based on temporary gains or losses.Of course, it was also the power and prestige accumulated over the past 20 years that gave Emperor Liu enough confidence.

In the system of the Han Empire, the imperial power has been greatly strengthened, and combined with Emperor Liu's personal authority, it will naturally rise to a higher level.

Therefore, up to now, the power structure of the Han Empire is actually very unbalanced. Even though Emperor Liu is good at playing tricks, engaging in power checks and balances, and building a relatively complete system and national management system, he himself is the one who seems to be The greatest disruptor of a sound system.

Today, if something goes wrong on Emperor Liu's side, it will definitely affect the entire empire.Of course, that is Emperor Liu, and it would be difficult for any successor to do this.

Considering Liu Tinghan's memorial, Emperor Liu also had a faint voice in his heart. If Yang Ye and Wang Yansheng's two armies are the same, even if they return with no success and no achievements, as long as they can return smoothly, there seems to be nothing wrong.

Emperor Liu is still a human being after all, and he also has private thoughts. Although they have been suppressed all these years, they exist after all.In the past, because of the queen mother and brothers, he made many decisions that he was not very happy with.

The queen of the amulet just now came to question aggressively. The reason why Emperor Liu lost his domineering appearance was more importantly because of his pity and guilt for the big talisman.There are three sons in total, one adopted out, and now, both of them are sent to the battlefield, making her fearful.
"Yantuo, go, let Zhang Dejun find out who leaked the news, and my ban is no longer effective?" Emperor Liu raised his head and ordered Yantuo coldly.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this decree, Yan Tuo couldn't help but tremble in his heart. With the emperor's murderous look, I don't know how many people will be punished and how many people will lose their lives.
