Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 83
Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji immediately got up to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the banquet."

The old eunuch had already prepared the meal, and asked the maid to invite the eldest grandson Wugou and Mrs. Gao back from the side hall, and they ate a meal in this hall.

Of course, we still eat at separate tables.

But during the meal, Li Gan didn't care about not eating or sleeping, but kept chatting with several people with a smile.

It's not about high-level content, but just talking about some parents' short stories and the like.

For example, what interesting things have happened in the capital recently?What fun places are there in the capital...

Talking directly about Changsun Wuji and the Gao family made people suspicious of life: His Majesty the Emperor even cares about this thing?Even Gao Shilian was speechless again and again.

Shouldn't the emperor care about state affairs?Why do you like to listen to this just like us?Even a little... like gossip?
When both parties have the same hobbies, the sense of distance will be invisible.

Anyway, Changsun Wuji felt that His Majesty the Emperor in front of him was more and more amiable...

This is also the effect Li Qian wanted to achieve.

Although this would make him, the emperor, lose some of his majesty, it could improve his relationship with his courtiers.

Besides, if the majesty is not majestic, who doesn't know his background?The emperor has no power here!

Instead of putting on airs and pretending, it's better to put it down completely!
After the meal, Gao Shilian took Gao Shi and Changsun Wuji out of the palace, and there were no outsiders in the political affairs hall, and Li Gan showed his true colors, and slumped back on his chair.

To be honest, talking with Gao Shilian and the others for so long during the meal, and hearing so many new things in the capital, made him a little moved.

It's just that his family knows his own affairs. As an emperor with little power in his hands, Li Qian also feels very insecure.

He was afraid that he would go out to play in the palace. If something happened and someone would do it, it would be too late to regret it.

You still have to practice your body again!
The eldest grandson Wugou sat beside him, lowered his eyebrows and gently stroked his stomach, helping him digest: "Your Majesty's kindness, this concubine will never forget it in this lifetime."

Li Qian looked at her, only to see that the beautiful eyes of Changsun Wugou were full of affection, and he was looking at him without blinking.

Li Gan naturally knew that she was referring to the reunion with her family: "It's just a small thing."

"It's a small matter for His Majesty, but it's a big deal for my concubine."

The eldest grandson Wugousu held his hands gently and kept moving, still looking at Li Qian affectionately.

Li Gan felt a little itchy from her eyes, and subconsciously grabbed Changsun Wugou's hand, and pulled the beauty's soft body into his arms.

It's just that he didn't continue to move.

After all, this political affairs hall is not a place to do business.

The eldest grandson Wugou's jade face turned red, he twitched his hand, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty still has to deal with the affairs of state, so the ministers and concubines will go back to the palace to wait for His Majesty."

"Well, you go back first."

Li Qiansong let go of the gentle shoulders of the beauty in his arms, and he was still reluctant to part with him, but now he had other things to do, so he could only raise his head and look at Wei Zhongxian: "Companion, ask someone to send Guanyin maidservant back to the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old eunuch handled things very quickly, after seeing off his eldest grandson Wugou, he came forward and asked, "Your Majesty, did you send that fellow Lu Bu over to pull your majesty's tendons?"

"Don't worry about it."

Li Gan waved his hand. Although it was a little refreshing after pulling his tendons, the process made him very scared.

It can really hurt a person to death.

Now that I have just had a full meal, it is better to digest the food first and make mental preparations.

The afternoon sun shines in from the window, like black gold bricks with a warm luster, several court ladies and eunuchs cleaned up the political hall, wiped the huanghuali tables and chairs inlaid with chiseled dragon pattern gold one by one, and then carefully retreated. out.

Some sweltering wind outside the hall blew the curtains, and there were only two masters and servants left in the huge government affairs hall.

After being bored, Li Qian turned his gaze to Wei Zhongxian who was aside, and asked curiously: "Big companion, where is your family now?"

This reminds me of the strange behavior of the old eunuch when the eldest grandson Wugou met with his family just now.

In Li Qian's impression, Wei Zhongxian has always been alone, and he has never heard of any wife and children before he entered the palace. Why did he behave like that?

Wei Zhongxian's old eyes turned red, and he seemed to think of something again, but he still bowed his head and said: "Go back to Your Majesty, there is still a big brother and three nephews in the servant's hometown, I just don't know what's going on now..."

"Three nephews?"

Li Gan asked curiously: "In this way, wouldn't it be possible to adopt one of them under your name as your heir?"

Nowadays, people attach great importance to the inheritance of incense. There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no descendants is the greatest. People regard the inheritance of incense as one of the most important things in life and attach great importance to it.

But it is important to pay attention to it. There are always various accidents in actual operation, and adoption is the way people come up with to make up for such accidents.

Especially this kind of adoption between brothers of the same clan is the most common.

Wei Zhongxian's elder brother had three sons, even if one died in an accident, there would be two left, more than enough to inherit his own incense.

It is reasonable to adopt one to his brother Wei Zhongxian and inherit the incense of his lineage.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the old eunuch was even more sad: "Your Majesty, the slaves have actually wanted to do this long ago, but they don't want to. The slaves also asked people to pick them up to the capital in the early years, but they were all rejected by the eldest brother and nephews." gone."

"My companion is an official in the capital, are they still unwilling?"

Li Gan was stunned, this was not the case in his previous life!
Wei Zhongxian has risen to prominence, and his fellow countrymen should celebrate with each other, as chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!How can it be like now, still reluctant?

However, he ignored that although the old eunuch was like five people and six people in the palace, he was nothing in the eyes of outsiders.

How prestige can you be if you are so poor that you can't even pay the rewards from the people below?It's not a big success at all, is it?
Of course, the old eunuch would not vomit these bitterness in front of His Majesty the Emperor, he could only talk about the well-known difficulties.

"Your Majesty, handicapped servants are not welcome no matter where they go."

With bitterness on his face, the old eunuch said slowly: "When the eunuchs entered the palace, in order to avoid embarrassing their ancestors, they even changed their names and surnames."

"It's like when the maidservant Fang entered the palace, she gave herself a nickname, called Li Jinzhong, and the Wei surname was changed back later."

Li Qian nodded, he knew it.

People attach the most importance to the surname given by their ancestors. Eunuchs even change their surnames when they enter the palace. It can be seen how embarrassing this is in people's hearts.

Wei Zhongxian continued: "People in the village regard eunuchs like slaves as ominous people, and the eunuchs who have returned from the capital over the years are even more disgusted by the villagers. Some clans are still unwilling to let people who betray their ancestors stay in the village and will Those eunuchs who have returned home will be expelled."

"The eldest brother of the servant felt that the servant had betrayed his ancestors. The three nephews felt ashamed when they heard about the adoption, and they shied away from each other. Therefore, the matter of the adoption was over."
