Han Shizu

Chapter 1669 The family affairs of the East Palace withered one after another

After talking about the business, the atmosphere naturally became harmonious, at least Emperor Liu himself thought so.When Xingzhi came, he was led by Li Chongju to visit his house.

In fact, there is nothing interesting to visit in the Heyang Duke's Mansion, not to mention the desolation in winter, Li Chongju himself is not a person to enjoy, and there are no wonders and beautiful things in the mansion. The only thing worth visiting probably belongs to the In the Buddhist hall built with a hundred gold, Emperor Liu also went to receive the influence of the Buddha's sandalwood, and played a meditation session with an old monk who was stationed in the palace.

The government prepared a fast meal, and Emperor Liu didn't think it was easy, so he shared it with Li Chongju, took a short rest, and left leisurely in the afternoon.

What Emperor Liu didn't know was that after he left, Li Chongju ordered people to close the Buddhist hall, and at the same time, gave money to several monks supported by the mansion and sent them back to the Buddhist temple.

On the way to leave, Emperor Liu sat in the Luanjia, his body trembling slightly with the progress, his face was calm, but there was a little thought in the depths of his eyes.

The conversation with Li Chongju was naturally true and false. Regarding the issue of Wu Desi, he did think seriously. At this point, it is really difficult for anyone to gain his trust. Wu Desi is such a Sensitive organizations, after much deliberation, couldn't find a suitable candidate, and only Li Chongju was left.

Of course, as he said, Emperor Liu really only intended to let Li Chongju do some transitional work, clean up and rectify Wu De Si Haosheng, and then return him to freedom.

Although Li Chongju is old, he has the ability and prestige. Emperor Liu will do what he promised.Therefore, Li Chongju acted like he was sitting on pins and needles, walking on thin ice, but in the eyes of Emperor Liu, it was a bit funny.

As for his belief in Buddhism, it is even less worthy of Emperor Liu's concern. After all, suppressing Buddhism is no longer the political correctness of the court. When people are old, they have some beliefs and sustenance. It is not worth blaming for peace of mind.

"It's really hard to get back the love of the past!" After pondering for a long time, Emperor Liu couldn't help sighing slightly.

"Official, are you going back to the palace?" Yan Tuo asked from the car door while walking.Generally speaking, Emperor Liu always likes to spend the whole day when he is out of the palace, and it is still early, so he asked this question.

"Return!" Emperor Liu responded coldly, and quickly instructed, "Go to the East Palace!"

Due to historical reasons, the scale of Bian Palace has always been small, and the overall appearance is cramped and stingy. Compared with the inner and outer cities of Tokyo with complete planning and grand layout, the imperial city is completely out of line.

The palaces inherited from the three generations also left too many traces of the old age, but similarly, although Bian Palace is not as majestic and magnificent as the Ziwei City in Xijing, it is only here that Emperor Liu can find the time of hard work and hard work .

In recent years, officials have continued to report that the current Bian Palace is not enough to show the majesty of the Tian family, and suggested rebuilding the Kaifeng Imperial City, but Emperor Liu refused.

One of the reasons is the reluctance to make large-scale construction projects and spend a lot of money on palace buildings. Using Miyagi to reminisce about the past shows that he has not forgotten his original intention, although it is a bit self-deceiving.

As for Bianliang East Palace, as a part of the imperial city, the layout is even smaller. Emperor Liu's six-horse chariot can't pass through the palace gate, and he can only enter by chariot.

When Emperor Liu arrived, because the prince Liu Yang was handling state affairs in the Guangzheng Hall as usual, it was the concubine Murong who led the crowd to welcome him.Obviously, there was not much preparation for the emperor's arrival, and the reception seemed to be in a hurry.

In the East Palace, although there were many people, but there were only three concubines and two grandchildren with status. Emperor Liu's attention was obviously on the two grandsons.

She waved her hand to get everyone to stand up. When Concubine Zhao saw it, she gently pushed the emperor's grandson Liu Wenhuan. Liu Wenhuan was also smart, and took the initiative to step forward. Keep your body healthy!"

"Hehe! It's cold on the ground, get up soon!" Emperor Liu showed a loving expression, and reached out to support Liu Wenhuan.

Seeing this, Liu Wenji looked up at his aunt, Murong, and then at his biological mother, Xiao.The biological mother didn't respond, but the aunt gave her an encouraging look, and then she stepped forward and paid homage, but was directly held back by Emperor Liu.

In fact, Emperor Liu has been paying attention to the three concubines of the crown prince. Even in front of him, the faint estrangement is obvious, especially the two concubines, the crown prince and concubine Zhao, with a little aggressive eyes.

On the contrary, Concubine Xiao, who was standing at the side and rear, maintained her usual low-key and introverted expression, her face was calm, and she was very particular about her position, not conspicuous.

Probably because of his historical fame, even though he had seen her several times, Emperor Liu still looked at Xiao Yanyan more, with scrutiny in his eyes.

Emperor Liu's eyes were always full of intimidation, and Xiao Yanyan subconsciously lowered her head, her posture became more modest, as if she wanted to hide herself.

Soon, Emperor Liu withdrew his gaze. Emperor Liu really didn't have much interest in the prince's family affairs. His usual attitude was that if he couldn't even manage his family, why would he govern the country.

"Why didn't you see my little granddaughter?" Emperor Liu found that there was one person missing.

With a smile on her face, the Crown Princess said softly: "There is a person from Kunming Hall, who has been summoned into the palace by your empress!"

Emperor Liu suddenly said: "It should be, you children, grandchildren and daughters-in-law should also go to the palace to see the queen more often!"

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, please sit in the hall and serve tea!" Seeing this, Murong invited him graciously.

Hearing this, Emperor Liu shook his head and said, "Since Liu Yang is not here, I won't stay any longer. I am here mainly for my two grandchildren. Tell Liu Yang that I will take Wen Huan and Wen Ji away. Let them stay in the palace for a few days!"

"Yes!" Concubine Murong naturally did not dare to object and said obediently.

After giving the order, Emperor Liu turned around, took one hand in each hand, hunched his back slightly, and took his two grandchildren away slowly, with a kind face on his face, chatting with them intimately.

It wasn't just Liu Wenhuan or Liu Wenji who said something, which made Emperor Liu laugh a few times.

On the side of the three concubines of the East Palace, looking at the backs of Emperor Liu, grandson and grandson who were gradually going away, they looked at each other.

Concubine Xiao obviously had to be more respectful, her attitude was very gentle, and she also resigned.The Crown Princess, who was frowned by Concubine Zhao, saw Concubine Xiao's performance, her face softened a little, and she smiled at her: "Yanyan is not in a hurry to go back to the palace, come sit with me and talk!"

"Yes!" Xiao Yanyan naturally did not object, and kept her posture very low, as if she was not the prince's favorite concubine, but a humble servant.

Regarding this, the princess's mood is naturally better. For her, compared to Concubine Zhao who is like a hedgehog, Concubine Xiao is as obedient as a sheep, which always makes her feel happy.

He didn't care about the infighting inside the East Palace at all. Emperor Liu, accompanied by his two grandchildren, was very happy along the way. The haze in his heart seemed to have dissipated a lot under this kind of company, and his whole person also retreated from the gloomy shell.

However, after returning to the palace, Emperor Liu received an unexpected and sad news that An Guogong Gao Huaide died of illness
The 20 years of Kaibao seemed destined to be a year of bad luck. When the government and the public were still immersed in the grief of Gao Huaide's death, bad news came one after another.

On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, Xue Juzheng, Duke of Ji State, also passed away in the mansion. He was seventy years old. His death was a pity. Somehow he contracted a bad disease.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Prime Minister Wang Pu, who was sick at home, also passed away as promised.

For a while, the entire imperial court was a little dazed in the face of this series of funeral news.The death of the three Yuan officials, Su Jiu, had a huge impact on the court. The court lost three pillars, and the balance of power at the top was completely broken after the Lu case.

At the same time, the death of the three heroes seems to be telling one point, that period of splendid and glorious history, which is not shifted by human will, is constantly going away
