Han Shizu

Chapter 1843

Emperor Liu only got the news of Zhao Kuangyin's death when he woke up the next morning. When he reported to the palace last night, Emperor Liu was sleeping soundly.

For this "delay", Emperor Liu even reprimanded Yan Tuo.Spreading his hands as usual, let the ladies wait and dress, the mirror in front of him has long been replaced with a copper one, looking at his blurred and unpredictable voice in the mirror, Emperor Liu suddenly let out an inexplicable emotion: "Why so suddenly, a few days ago Life, isn’t it still good, you can eat meat and drink”

"The emotion of encounters in life really makes people feel infinitely sad!"

Zhao Pu bowed his waist slightly and waited on the side, the old man felt shallow, Emperor Liu was like this, so was Zhao Pu, and even got up earlier than Emperor Liu.Staying overnight in the palace is not a good feeling. Apart from the supreme honor, there is endless pressure.

Imagine that the emperor is sleeping on the imperial couch separated by a curtain from you, snoring like thunder, and those strong servants outside are always watching you, lest you make any abnormal behavior, and guard against thieves Same.

Even if the urge to urinate came, he had to hold back, not daring to make any movements, even if the emperor turned over, it would cause tension.The old emperor in his twilight years is so frightening. Even Zhao Pu, who came back with a different mentality, can hardly suppress the awe born in his bones, especially in the dead of night, there is a kind of him hiding in the dark and staring at you illusion.

Nervous, depressed, and even panicked, Zhao Pu obviously didn't sleep well the past night, and the first thing he did when he got up was to drink a wave of water happily.According to this situation, if he slept next to Emperor Liu several times, the urinary system would be completely disordered.

At this moment, upon hearing Emperor Liu's emotion, Zhao Pu immediately became a little more cautious, and responded with emotion: "Life is as usual, it is probably so, Your Majesty's condolences!"

But in Zhao Pu's heart, he couldn't help but think deeply. In fact, Emperor Liu's words had already revealed a lot of information.Although Zhao Pu has been in court for two years, he is not ignorant of the affairs in Beijing. Although he is not familiar with Rong Guogong's situation, he has some understanding.

At least, as far as Zhao Pu knew, Zhao Kuangyin gave up drinking early before he left office, but according to Emperor Liu, Zhao Kuangyin was eating meat and drinking again. Could there be no secret behind this?
Zhao Kuangyin's love of alcohol is something that the government and the public all know. He even gets drunk every time he drinks. However, during the time when he quit drinking, he obviously managed not to drink at all.If it is because of the alcohol addiction, but with the strong will of a character like Zhao Kuangyin, under what circumstances will he relapse after successfully quitting alcohol?

Faintly, Zhao Pu had some guesses, but he didn't dare to think about it any further. He lowered his head subconsciously, and even didn't dare to look at Emperor Liu.This old emperor is more fearsome than before, or more dangerous
"What is Zhao Qing thinking?" Suddenly, Emperor Liu stared at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu was a little startled when he heard the sound, quickly calmed down, clasped his hands and sighed, and said: "The old minister is thinking, it is really regrettable that the court lost Yizhu Kingdom with the death of Duke Rong!"

Hearing this, Emperor Liu withdrew his gaze, but said indifferently: "People always have such a day, but it's just a matter of time. Mr. Rong's life can be considered magnificent, and he has achieved success and fame. It is worthwhile to come to this world. "

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Zhao Pu became more determined to make some guesses in his heart. After all, there was a strange smell in Emperor Liu's words.In the past, when an important official of the country passed away, no matter what he thought in his heart, Emperor Liu would at least show a sad expression on his face, say some regretful words, and even reveal his true feelings, which aroused sympathy.

But this time, regarding Zhao Kuangyin's death, he acted too calmly, or indifferently.Look at what he said, there was no trace of sadness on his face, and even that bit of surprise seemed to be an expression of courtesy.

If it is said that it has become a habit to see too many veterans withering, or that people are old enough to look down on life and death, then it is obviously not convincing enough.After all, with Emperor Liu's performance skills, there is nothing wrong with putting on a show, but looking at Emperor Liu's appearance, he is not even willing to pretend.

Pressing the thoughts flying in his mind, Zhao Pu continued to echo: "Your Majesty's words are true!"

Unable to figure out what Emperor Liu's attitude towards Zhao Kuangyin was, Zhao Pu didn't intend to say anything more about his death, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles.

The sky is slightly bright, but the meal must be eaten, and the servants serve a hot breakfast. There are no gourmet delicacies, even folk grains, which fit the word of health preservation.

Drinking porridge with a full appetite, Emperor Liu observed Zhao Pu by the palace lantern that was still emitting light, pointed at the dark circles under the eyes of the old man, and chuckled lightly: "Zhao Qing didn't sleep well last night?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pu said: "I'm getting old, maybe I'm exhausted and haven't recovered yet."

Emperor Liu couldn't help but look at Zhao Pu again, nodded and said: "It's my negligence, Zhao Qing really worked hard yesterday, even going back to the mansion, he couldn't have a moment of peace, the noise in the capital is like mosquitoes, I think it's true Don't let it bother you!"

Hearing Emperor Liu's words, Zhao Pu's heart tightened secretly. Is this trying to beat those flattering things in the Zhao Mansion yesterday?However, before he could say something, he heard Emperor Liu continue to say: "I have already sent someone to take care of the house, and I think I can go back to the house within a few days. Although the environment of the hotel in Luoyang is good, if Let the prime minister of the big man live in the post house, and it is hard to return home, and it is not good to spread the word, you think so!"

Zhao Pu quickly expressed his opinion: "It's because the old minister made a mistake!"

Seeing his appearance, Emperor Liu waved his hand: "It's because I didn't think carefully, and you are acting upright, distinguishing between public and private, and advocating my good looks! It's been a hard few days, so I'd better take a break. When will my health recover? When you have recovered enough, let's deal with the affairs of state again. The mundane affairs are tiring and labor-intensive, and the tax reform can't be rushed, you can plan and think carefully!"

"Your Majesty is so caring, and the old minister is so grateful!" Zhao Pu's old face naturally showed a moved expression.

Seeing this, Emperor Liu smiled, suddenly thought of something, paused his hands, put down the porridge bowl, and then remembered something that was almost forgotten.Picking up a silk handkerchief to wipe his mouth, he said just now: "For us people, the most important thing is to make a final conclusion. Rong Gong is gone, and the affairs behind him must not be sloppy. Pass the decree and abolish the court On the third day, Duke Rong’s funeral will be held according to the court rituals, and the author arranges to express his condolences!”

After saying that, Emperor Liu looked at Zhao Pu again, and said, "Qing Zhao, please go to the mansion on behalf of me, condolences to the Zhao family, and express your condolences."

Emperor Liu seemed to be understating it, but Zhao Pu replied solemnly: "Yes!"
