Chapter 211 Li Ye's Complaint
(First half a chapter of daily adjustments)
"My son sees the Queen Mother!"

After returning to the palace, the first thing Liu Chengyou did was to pay respects to the Empress Dowager Li at the Hall of Renming, ignoring the affairs of the court and meeting the ministers.

"Get up quickly!" Seeing Liu Chengyou saluting solemnly, Mrs. Li helped him up hastily, and looked at him reproachfully.Sweeping around Liu Chengyou's body, he said, "It's good to be back."

But as he said that, he taught him a lesson: "You have just succeeded to the throne. This time, regardless of the opposition of the officials, you put down the state affairs and toured Luoyang westward. In Beijing, I am in the palace for my mother, I am worried and miss it endlessly."

"I'm sorry for your troubles." Liu Chengyou personally supported Mrs. Li to sit down and talk, and said: "Since my son is the son of heaven, he cares about the thoughts of billions of people, and he governs the country. If he doesn't pay attention to the feelings of the people, he is incompetent. During this tour to the west, we have gained a lot, which will be of great benefit to governing the country.”

"You have your own opinion, but I can't say no to you." Seeing that Liu Chengyou seemed to be talking at length, Li raised her hand to stop him, and said, "It's too old for me to get involved in government affairs. I know you have the ambition to strengthen the country and rule it. I can remind you that everything must not be rushed."

His mother's words were earnest in his ears, and while Liu Chengyou agreed, he couldn't help thinking, it seems that Mrs. Li also received a lot of news from the outer court, and his uncle was really diligent in inviting favors to the harem.However, since he succeeded to the throne, he has been stable enough. Could it be that he is in a hurry?
Seeing that Liu Chengyou was distracted, Mrs. Li shook her head slightly, and said warmly: "You must have worked hard when you came back from the west tour, so you don't have to accompany me, go and rest. Well, it's time for you to see Concubine Shu, she is about to give birth gone."

"Yes."

Even if Mrs. Li didn't mention it, Liu Chengyou planned to visit Mrs. Geng. He still had some feelings for Mrs. Geng, after all, she was the woman who accompanied him the longest, and she was always well-behaved and docile, not to mention she was pregnant with a dragon.

Liu Chengyou's sudden visit to the Cuifang Palace surprised Geng and the palace attendants. Seeing the palace servants making a fuss, Liu Chengyou hurriedly spoke out to avoid their welcome.

"Second official's family." Seeing Liu Chengyou, Geng called weakly, with tears in her beautiful eyes, showing a completely unconfident and tender look.

Liu Chengyou looked around at Geng Shi, this woman was a little fat, her mood seemed a little depressed, and there was sadness between her eyebrows.He stared at her belly, it was as big as a cold melon, and it was difficult to stand up.Geng was conceived in the seventh month of last year, and it has been almost nine months now.

"You should call me Erlang." Liu Chengyou stepped forward and sat down with Geng's arms around him, and said softly.

"Official family." Gently leaning on Liu Chengyou, Geng sniffed the smell of Liu Chengyou, but couldn't say the word "Erlang" after all.

"You are weak, you still need to pay attention." The words of relief came from Liu Chengyou's mouth, which seemed a little dry, but Geng's reaction was obvious, leaning against Liu Chengyou's chest even tighter.

Liu Chengyou grabbed her hand, sighed, and said softly: "In the past few months, I have been busy with state affairs and have no time to take care of the harem, but I have neglected you."

Hearing this, Geng burst into tears: "I understand, I have nothing else to ask, as long as the officials still miss me, I will be satisfied."

Seeing this situation, Liu Chengyou felt a little uncomfortable for a while.He knew that Geng's family was as delicate and pitiful as a flower stamen, but how could he have imagined that she was so fragile, looking at her pear blossom with a rainy smile, she could only blame it on her pregnancy.Especially near the period of childbirth, it is said that women at this stage are in a bad mood, but Gunn dare not lose his temper with Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou helped her up, reached out and wiped away the tears of this delicate flower with his unfamiliar methods, and said: "From now on, I will spend more time with you. Don't cry, take care of yourself, and give me a prince!"

"En." Geng replied in a low voice, and the tears stopped.

After staying at Geng's place for less than half an hour, Liu Chengyou just returned to the Chui Gong Palace.Outside the hall, a slightly familiar figure was already waiting.

"My minister will meet the official's house!" As he approached, he immediately stepped forward to pay respects, his attitude and tone were not respectful enough.

Liu Chengyou looked at this impetuous man in surprise, and called lightly: "Uncle."

"Why is uncle looking for me? Why didn't you send someone to inform you?" Liu Chengyou asked after entering the hall and taking his seat.

Li Ye raised his eyebrows, looking a little excited, and said to Liu Chengyou: "The official family is back, if it's later, I'm afraid that the sky in Tokyo will change!"

Li Ye's expression was full of anger, and he opened his mouth to make the matter very serious and sensational, in an attempt to arouse Liu Chengyou's vigilance.

"What happened to make uncle so angry?" Liu Chengyou simply cooperated and asked.

Hearing the question, Li Ye said directly: "I'm afraid the officials are on a tour to the west and don't know the situation in Tokyo. If the officials are not there, then Yang Bin will wantonly seize power in the court and will not tolerate other people's opinions. The Guangzheng Hall is not allowed to discuss matters." The minister made a speech. As the envoy of the Southern Academy of Xuanhui, he is in charge of all the envoys in the department, and he even collaborated with Hu Yanke, the envoy of the Northern Academy, to limit the authority of the minister and prevent the minister from taking matters into his own hands."

"Arrogance and arrogance, even the queen mother is not taken seriously. When the first emperor was here, Yang Bin was domineering and opposed the steward. Now, it has become even worse. The officials must be vigilant. Otherwise, in the long run, the power will fall to the side. totally at the mercy of his people”

Li Ye, apparently here to complain, desperately put eye drops on Yang Bin in front of Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou glanced at Li Ye, his expression cooled down, and he frowned.

In his heart, he sighed silently. It is estimated that the original owner was whispered in the ears of Li Ye and other close officials. He started to kill and seize power, and finally ended up in the end of his life and the country's destruction.

To Li Ye, Liu Chengyou only listened to [-]% of what he said. During Liu Chengyou's absence, Yang Bin led the officials and stabilized the court. Discuss.With the current situation of the Han court, there is no soil for Yang Bin's dictatorship at all, and it is unreasonable for him to be so arrogant.

Most of Li Ye's accusations were exaggerations, but he was bullied badly by Yang Bin.From the very beginning, Yang Bin disapproved of Li Ye's appointment as Xuanhui Envoy, an important position before the imperial court, and his admiration, and he even despised him as disliked.When he was in charge of state affairs, Li Ye was in front of him, of course he could only be humbled, and he was not allowed to interfere in state affairs at all.

And Li Ye, who has always been loved by the Queen Mother, could not bear to be wronged, so he sued Li Shi.However, it is not good for the Li family to intervene rashly in the affairs of the outer court, but just keep silent and let Li Ye keep a low profile.The biggest backer was not strong, so Li Ye could only hold back and wait until Liu Chengyou returned to Beijing.

In fact, Li Ye misunderstood Yang Bin a little bit. His authority was violated, but Liu Chengyou secretly ordered him to do so.Liu Chengyou himself was not at ease with Li Ye, and he was only giving Li Ye face as an envoy of the Xuanhui Academy.

Of course, during the period of Liu Chengyou's west tour, the court in Tokyo was indeed not very stable, and the incident in Xijing also affected the political situation in Tokyo.News kept coming, especially after Su Fengji was imprisoned, and people's hearts fluttered.

As for Yang Bin, he did try to seize power.He and Su Fengji had always been at odds, and Su Fengji's downfall surprised him, but also secretly pleased him.In Tokyo, a large number of officials were dismissed and investigated, all of whom were followers of Su Fengji's party members. Most of those people, who were attached to Su Fengji's party, were bad officials.

In fact, it was also Liu Chengyou who planned to clean it up. Yang Bin did it ahead of Liu Chengyou, saving him a lot of effort and adding some "income" to the treasury.Su Fengji sold an official before, and those who can afford an official must have some family property.

At the same time, it also attracted a wave of hatred.If Shi Hongzhao and Yang Bin hadn't had their previous quarrel, it would have been a good idea to do something to attract hatred.

For Li Ye's slander in front of him this time, Liu Chengyou's attitude is quite relaxed, but he still has a dark face to comfort him: "Uncle has been wronged, go back and rest first. I will reprimand Yang Bin. "

"Officials, if Yang Bin is not punished, the country will fail! Please make plans early." Hearing this, Li Ye was a little dissatisfied, and immediately asked.

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou was also a little impatient, raised his hand to stop him, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, Yang Xiang is the minister of the country, how can I easily accuse him of my words!"

"Su Fengji is also a chancellor, so he will be imprisoned as soon as he is said to be in prison." Li Ye muttered.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou frowned and stared at him.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy, Li Ye raised his eyes to look at Liu Chengyou, but seeing his gloomy gaze, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, finally became more honest, and lowered his head slightly.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Liu Chengyou said: "Uncle is the arm of my relatives. In the court, with the officials, we should support each other and take care of the country and the country together!"

"Yes!"

Unable to achieve his goal, Li Ye was very disappointed, and resigned in a low mood, and without thinking, he went to the Hall of Renming again.

On Liu Chengyou's side, he was still thinking about the situation in the court, and when he heard the news there, his face was a little unnatural.

"This person always goes to the Queen Mother's side, it's really annoying." Liu Chengyou muttered secretly, his tone a bit cold.

Li Shi is really a wise queen mother, a loving mother, Liu Chengyou also respects her a lot.However, thinking of his selfish preference for Li Ye, Liu Chengyou inevitably felt a little "scrupulous".

His filial personality has been in business for a long time, and he really does not hope that one day, because of this useless uncle, the relationship between mother and child will be affected.
