Chapter 1404 The Court and the Imperial Family
"To them, I have indeed neglected and owed something!" When he regained his senses, Emperor Liu showed a rare wry smile.
His personal energy and physical strength are limited, and apart from his thoughts on state affairs, he doesn't have much time for the harem, and the same goes for his children.Furthermore, with so many children, how could he be able to cover everything. Compared with the energy invested in the eldest children, he really cared very little for the other children.
Especially the two brothers, Liu Ye and Liu Xin, it's fine for them to be young, and more importantly, their mother came from a humble background, and it's difficult for them to be taken seriously.Although Liu Ye's mother, Qin Li, has been named Concubine Xiang and has some status in the palace, it is only because of the reward for giving birth to a prince. Back then, she was just a Yao girl presented by Qin Zaixiong.
As for Concubine Yelu, because of her Khitan royal status, it is even more difficult to get the favor of Emperor Liu, and even looks awkward, and the mother and son are even more rejected in the palace, especially when the Han and Liao are hostile, and another After the brutal battle, they could only lower their eyebrows and let their eyes rest.
A child is as valuable as a mother, and there is also a true portrayal in the court of the Han Dynasty.The children of Empress Fu, Concubine Gui, and Concubine Xian received significantly more attention than others. Concubine Hui and Concubine Ning, who were less advanced, received a lot of favor due to their age and status advantages in the past, and their children also benefited from it. benefit.
As for others, many people were almost forgotten by Emperor Liu.Including Concubine Zhou Shu, who was once favored, is not valued so much now.In the final analysis, Concubine Shu is a fan of literature and art, with a virtuous nature, beautiful appearance, and good temperament. At first, she was able to attract Emperor Liu with this, but as time passed, she got tired of it, and her temperament and interests were difficult to match.
As she grew older, her color gradually faded, and Emperor Liu's interest became even less. She didn't have a deep relationship with Emperor Liu like Da Fu had with Gao and Zheer Niangzi.
More importantly, when Emperor Liu brought Xiao Zhou into the harem, that's right, Emperor Liu had already brought Mrs. Xiao Zhou into the harem, and in one step, she was directly canonized as Concubine Yi, which satisfied his inner sense of curiosity.
As for this move, other people dared not say anything, even dared not gossiping in private, but Concubine Shu Shu of the Great Zhou had a surprisingly strong reaction. It was the first time Emperor Liu discovered that this Concubine Shu also had a strong attribute hidden under her gentle appearance.
Directly expressing dissatisfaction with Emperor Liu for accepting his sister, this is also the first time after serving Emperor Liu for sixteen or seventeen years, he dared to disobey Emperor Liu's wishes, show embarrassment and temper to him.
But who is Emperor Liu, how can she tolerate her like this, he is not interested in guessing Concubine Shu's thoughts, and is considerate of Concubine Shu's mood, so Concubine Shu of the Great Zhou Dynasty has completely fallen out of favor, and until now, she can basically only stay in the bedroom Gu Ying felt sorry for herself.
For Liu Hui's sake, Emperor Liu didn't punish him too much, otherwise, he might have been thrown into limbo.For Emperor Liu, it is not possible for every concubine to be presumptuous in front of him. After all, there is only one Empress Fu in this world.
In the past, the seventh prince, Liu Hui, was loved and valued by Emperor Liu because of his extraordinary talent and outstanding literary talent, but he was also neglected by Emperor Liu because of his mother.
Both concubine Shu's mother and son suffered like this, let alone other people.Like Xu and Li, who were forcibly brought into the palace by Emperor Liu before, they have been forgotten by Emperor Liu to some corner.
In the court, there is never harmony, and it is always full of various disputes and calculations. Emperor Liu is also a hard-hearted person, and he often shows his ruthlessness inadvertently.
In the past, there may have been such a scene of joy and harmony, but it was just a superficial illusion, in order to cater to Emperor Liu or perhaps offend him to create a harmonious atmosphere.
However, people's hearts are changeable, and Emperor Liu's age is gradually increasing. Most importantly, the princes are gradually growing up. They talk more and more, have different thoughts, and it is easy to breed conflicts, and their feelings are becoming more and more indifferent.
Including the father-son relationship between Emperor Liu and his children, some of which even he himself has to admit, except for the inseparable blood connection, the relationship is extremely shallow, Emperor Liu did not really fulfill the duties of a father, of course, he also It was already difficult to do it, the court was definitely not so beautiful, and as an emperor, many things had already become a luxury for him.
There is one point that can more intuitively reflect the relationship between Emperor Liu and his princes and children. The princes who came later in the sequence are also growing up day by day, and they face Emperor Liu, apart from being in awe, they are full of alienation.
"Let's spend more time in the future!" Seeing Emperor Liu thoughtful, Da Fu touched his hand lightly and said in a warm voice.
Turning his head to look at her, Emperor Liu smiled slightly: "Fortunately, there is still you, a virtuous wife like you, who can take care of the harem for me and care for my children, which can also make me feel less guilty!"
Hearing this, Da Fu said, "I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, but there are some things that I can't replace!"
"Even if it's a matter of duty, my worries have been greatly relieved!" Emperor Liu said immediately, with a look of gratitude to the queen.
Emperor Liu's words were not aimless. For a long time, in the Han Palace, Empress Fu had always shown her demeanor as a big woman. She also took good care of the concubines and the prince's children who were not very favored in the harem. It really helped to stabilize the harem. The role of Yitianxia.
Of course, this is also where Empress Fu is clever. She never suppresses those concubines who cannot threaten her status, and tries to show her generosity, gentleness and virtuousness as much as possible.In terms of layout, bearing, and insight, in the Han Palace, there was no one else behind the talisman. This was also the most fundamental reason why she was able to secure her position and win the respect of Emperor Liu.
"The children are getting older, and they are not so easy to discipline. They all respect you. In the future, I will ask you to spend more time!" Emperor Liu said to Fuhou.
To this, Da Fu just smiled gracefully.
"Your Majesty!" During the conversation, the second minister stepped up to the stage and bowed to salute.
"Brother Yun, don't be too polite!" Seeing the visitor, Emperor Liu smiled gently.
The first person was Xu Wang, Zong Zhengqing and Liu Chengyun.
"Little Fourteen, go find your mother, don't run around, pay attention to safety!" Emperor Liu said, shaking Liu Xin's back slightly in fear.
"Yes!" Looking at Emperor Liu, Liu Xin jumped to the ground, bowed to the empress, bowed to the visitor, and trotted away with his calves.
Seeing Liu Xin's back, Liu Chengyun couldn't help but sighed to Emperor Liu: "Although the Fourteenth Prince is young, he knows etiquette so well. He will definitely be a gentleman in the future. His Majesty taught him well!"
For this compliment, Emperor Liu smiled lightly: "Brother Yun, you are being polite, these brats can't stand boasting!"
Liu Chengyun laughed along with him, turning his body away on purpose, so that Emperor Liu would pay more attention to the person beside him.
"It's Brother Jun!" Emperor Liu kept smiling, but his eyes were calm.
"Your Majesty, Cheng Jun will take up his post in Guangnan, so I'm here to say goodbye and listen to your majesty's lesson!" Liu Chengyun took the initiative.
The middle-aged man beside Liu Chengyun was Liu Chengjun, the son of the late emperor's uncle and Taiyuan king Liu Chong, and of course, Liu Chengyun's brother.
At this time, Liu Chengjun was approaching his fifties, but he looked very old, his body didn't look that strong, he was a little puffy, and his face was full of vicissitudes.
"Your Majesty!" Facing Emperor Liu, Liu Chengjun was also more reserved, a little nervous, a little cowering.
"Brother Jun, you don't have to be restrained. We are all one family. If you have anything to do, you can come to me directly!" Emperor Liu was still gentle, but Liu Chengjun didn't dare to take his friendly smile seriously.
Speaking of which, it has been nearly 19 years since Liu Chong's family was "escorted" into Beijing after the Hedong incident, and after Liu Chong died, all his sons were recalled and raised in Luoyang.
If there is a chance, Liu Chengjun really wants to ask Emperor Liu, do you know how we got here in these 19 years.It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that when the pigs are raised, because the pigs only need to squat in the pen and wait to be fed.
And they are gathered in a large manor, and they still need to plan food in the ground like those mud legs. The money and food allocated by the government every year for a big family are not enough for them to live a comfortable and prosperous life. Life.
Business was prohibited, even freedom was restricted, and people were not allowed to leave the territory of Luoyang. It was not until the imperial court moved west to Luoyang that the control was relaxed.
Counting Liu Chengyun, Liu Chong has ten sons in total, and after many years, only four are still alive. The others either died of illness, died of depression, or died of accidents.
It wasn't until the past two years that Emperor Liu finally completely lifted the ban on them, allowed them to return to the court, and granted them official positions. Life just got easier and gradually restored the treatment of nobles.Of course, behind this is Liu Chengyun's unremitting efforts to intercede for many years.
It has to be said that in the eyes of some people, Emperor Liu is quite tolerant towards his foreign ministers, but towards his own family inside the royal family, Emperor Liu seems a bit harsh and ruthless.
One must know that even criminal officials such as Yang Bin and Su Fengji have returned to the court for many years, and have spent thousands of years in Beijing for the elderly, and Su Fengji's descendants have also begun to serve as officials.
It happened that the descendants of the clan elders like Liu Chong and Liu Xin had not enjoyed the status and honor they deserved for many years. If Liu Chengyun hadn't been running around to plead for mercy, maybe until the death of Emperor Liu, there would be no change.
"Brother Jun doesn't think that Lingnan is remote and difficult!" Emperor Liu said softly, looking at Liu Chengjun who looked in awe.
