Destiny Only Han

Chang'an City.

Although the roadside is still decorated with lanterns and festoons to celebrate the Spring Festival, in fact, this year's New Year's ceremony has not yet been held.

After all, it has been clearly changed to the yuan, so it is natural to put the Great Dynasty Conference on the first day of January two days later.

Naturally, not only the Fengchang Mansion, which is in charge of etiquette, but also the officials of all relevant departments such as the Yushi Dafu's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Shaofu Mansion are all busy, wishing they could work around the clock.

The new emperor was first established, changed to Yuan Zhengshuo, and if there was a mistake, their official hats would be worn to the end.

But what is more important is the rules set by Xiao He back then, those who rule by day are kings, those who rule by night are strong, and those who rule by night are weak.

In other words, a country that can handle all government affairs on the same day can be king in the world; if it is delayed until the night, the country can also be strong; but if it is delayed until the night, and it is done tomorrow, such a country will be weakened!

And Cao Shen was famous in history not only because of his meritorious service, Liu Bang compared him to a hunting dog, and there is an idiom that is even more familiar.

Xiao Gui and Cao Sui.

Therefore, in addition to being extremely humble when facing Liu Ying on a daily basis and no longer being rebellious in history, he completely copied the rules and regulations left by Xiao He.

Well, Cao Shen is saying that he is not as good as Xiao He, so he must abide by his duties and follow the laws of the previous generation not to lose, but there is something in the truth.

I am not as good as Xiao He, and your majesty is not as good as the late emperor.

So, let's just live with each other, don't mess around...

After all, the early Han Dynasty pursued the Huang-Lao theory of letting nature take its course, and the Holy Son of Heaven ruled from the bow.

In other words, it is the habit of a knight-errant.

Boss, if you trust me, let me do it myself. If you don't trust me, then I won't do it!

It's just that the current Cao Shen doesn't have the guts.

"At that time, all the transplanted winter plums will be brought out, and the red ones will look beautiful..."

"By the way, don't hang ribbons on the eaves, lest they get caught on the wires and burn... It's too much for me to pay for the palace myself!"

"Also, break the ice in the Yu River to see if the frozen fish are dead. If they are dead, replace them with new ones..."

Liu Ying said while walking, and Cao Shen followed closely behind, holding the wat board and writing non-stop, which surprised the passing officials, but he was relieved immediately.

After all, this is their Majesty!

Supremacy, keep a promise, make a long-term strategy and control the inner world, beat the world and flog the world, and be powerful all over the world, no one dares not to follow!
"Well, that's all, prepare me 100 million fireworks, from night to dawn!" Liu Ying put her hands on her waist, full of ambition.

Cao Shen had a bitter look on his face. At the beginning, it was agreed that all the money for changing Yuan Zhengshuo would come from the treasury...

Although the current population has more than doubled compared to before, business is also very prosperous, and there is no idle land in the country. With his efforts, the treasury has become full again from the emptiness it was when Xiao He retired.

However, squandering is not such a squandering method!

So Cao Shen trembled and asked cautiously:
"Your Majesty... I remember that there is a sentence in the "Ode to the Palace of Qin" written by Your Majesty, which is called 'Take all the baht and use it like sand'... Besides, the national treasury is not considered to be old, is it? Can be a little simpler..."

"This minister is really just a suggestion, not intended to spoil His Majesty's limelight... Your Majesty, please be damned, please punish him!"

After all, Cao Shen is very clear about how stingy and vengeful Liu Ying is, and how she likes to show off.

Liu Ying withdrew her gaze expressionlessly, and asked in a calm tone: "Then according to Prime Minister Cao's words, how should we keep things simple?"

Cao Shen stretched out a finger profusely with sweat.

"One hundred thousand? Well, one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand!" Liu Ying quickly grabbed Cao Shen's little finger hook.

Well, in fact, he was just asking for the price, and he was waiting for Cao Shen to pay back the money on the spot.

If he had said to set off [-] fireworks at the beginning, Cao Shen would probably only have [-] left at most if he made a counter-offer!
So Liu Ying said 100 million in a big mouth, just waiting for Cao Shen to counter the price fiercely.

Although Cao Shen cut directly from the heel, he still achieved his goal.

Hehe, these old fellows are as cunning as ghosts, but they are still submissive by us... Liu Ying walked forward with her hands behind her back, her face full of arrogance.

Behind Liu Ying, Cao Shen looked confused, but still nodded calmly, and just quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while Liu Ying was not paying attention.

In fact, what he originally meant was to reduce by [-]%...

But it doesn't matter...

Liu Ying added that when Cao Shen was recording, there was a sudden commotion at the gate of the palace in the distance.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Liu Ying turned her head and saw Bank of China who was running over anxiously and said.

Cao Shen frowned and reprimanded: "In the forbidden palace, what's the point of yelling? Wait a while and go to the eunuch Ling Han Tan to receive the punishment!"

Bank of China said that he just looked at Liu Ying out of breath and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by a violent cough in the end.

An ominous premonition emerged in Liu Ying's heart, her eyes were fixed on Bank of China and she said, but her tone was calm: "Don't panic, speak slowly, what happened?"

"Your Majesty, there is news from Xinfeng City that it is not good for the wife to go to the queen..."

"What? Say it again!"

"The emperor's imperial order said that the wife was fine when she went to the empress in the morning, but for some reason, she said she was a little dizzy, and then she didn't get up again... Now the imperial doctors have rushed over..."

After Bank of China finished speaking, he raised his head slightly, only to see Liu Ying was frozen on the spot, motionless, as if petrified.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!" Cao Shen boldly pushed Liu Ying lightly.

At this moment, Liu Ying woke up like a dream.

"Prepare the horse, hurry up, prepare the horse for me..."

"When the servant girl came, someone had already informed the Stable Order to prepare a fast horse, and the escorting Langzhong were also ready to set off at this moment."

Seeing Liu Ying staggering and running away, Cao Shen turned his gaze to Zhongxing Shuo who was standing aside like a prawn.

This eunuch, yes, is quite clever, His Majesty's eyesight is good... Cao Shen's heart turned like lightning, but he was dressed straight and rushed away.

After all, he is from Pei County, and he is in the prime minister, so he must be present at such a time.

The important thing is that Cao Shen knew very well that this might be Li's last time.

The last accidental fall had already cost her almost all of her life, and even though she was rescued later, she was only dying.

Fortunately, the mausoleum built for Liu Taigong was completed a few years ago...

It's a pity that the yuan will be changed soon!

It's just a matter of time and fate that something like this happened at this time...

....................................

Xinfeng City, Zhongyangli.

Today is the day of the Taifeng Cup qualifiers. Even standing here far away from the big arena, you can still hear the roar of mountains and tsunami in the distance, the sound of gongs and drums, and countless people cheering for their home team.

But all this has nothing to do with Liu Taigong.

In the inner room separated by a curtain, this nearly hundred-year-old wife, the Emperor, who dare not even the emperor of the empire dare to talk back to him, is like all the old people who are about to be widowed in the world. The bark-like old hands tightly grasped his wife's equally skinny hands, tears poured down his face, his whole body trembled, obviously he couldn't control himself anymore.

At this time, the dying old lady opened her eyes slightly, and seemed to have some vitality again, but it was not because of any other reason, but because of her nostalgia for her husband, which made her reluctant to leave this world...

"My dear, don't cry..."

There was an indistinct sound in Li's throat, which could only be heard clearly by Liu Taigong, who accompanied her day and night.

I saw Mrs. Li with a smile on her face and gently said to Liu Taigong: "It is rare for people to live to be 70 years old. Now that I have passed [-] years old, it is also a happy event. I should be happy..."

"Yes, yes, please stop talking. Wait for the doctors to come..." Liu Taigong shook his head in pain: "This is Chang'an, and there are many skilled doctors. If they can save you once, they can save you a second time... ...I, I can't bear you..."

"Don't be so greedy..." Mrs. Li glanced over Taigong Liu, glanced at a set of auspicious clothes hanging on the hanger with a golden phoenix hovering and bright pearls, and said with some pride: "From ancient times to the present, how many Can a woman wear this Queen's gown?"

As she spoke, her eyes turned to Liu Taigong: "How many people can live with their beloved Prime Minister Bai?"

Taigong Liu burst into tears, and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than bitter:
"You deserve it... That boy Liu Ji got stuck eating wild fruit back then. If you hadn't found out in time and picked him upside down for fear of hitting him a few times, he would have choked to death long ago. How can there be now?" The emperor, um, the Supreme Emperor?"

Outside the room, Liu Bang's face was as black as coal.

There are so many people, and the old man is talking about his dark history again. If it weren't for the special circumstances, he would definitely break in and have a good talk with his father!

But when he thought that Li, who raised him since he was a child, might not live long, Liu Bang's eyes immediately became wet, and his cheeks trembled slightly.

In the room, Mrs. Li no longer had the strength to speak, but insisted on refusing to die, and just lay there quietly, looking at her husband with blank eyes.

Liu Taigong also looked deeply at his wife, he knew that he had already missed one glance, and it would be great to see her more...

In the courtyard, Liu Xi, Liu Jiao, Liu Fei, and Liu Xin hurried over, leading their wives, children, and grandchildren. Hundreds of people gathered together, standing or sitting, their faces They were either anxious or sad, but they all looked at the curtain that blocked the inner room, wanting to know what was going on inside.

It's a coincidence that the New Year's Court Meeting will be held soon, and the Yuan Dynasty will be changed to Zhengshuo. Naturally, the vassal kings will bring their families to Chang'an.

On the other side, Lu Zhi stood at the intersection and looked out, expecting a familiar figure to appear in the center of the road that had been vacated long ago in the place separated by layers of soldiers.

Liu Ying.

Mrs. Li treats Liu Ying closer than her own grandson. If Liu Ying misses seeing her for the last time, it will be a lifelong regret for both parties!

When the sun was in the sky, amidst the gongs, drums and shouts of cheering, the sound of hooves suddenly rained.

"It's finally here..." Lu Zhi looked back at the quiet farmyard, and let go of the boulder in his heart.

"Mother, what's the matter with the aunt? Has the doctor come? Can you take the medicine? Has it improved?" Liu Ying got off the horse and asked questions like cannonballs.

"Now that you are the emperor, you have to make sure that Mount Tai collapses in front of you without changing your face!" Lu Zhi warned, shaking his head slightly, his voice gradually became a little choked: "The doctors have already come, and the medicines that should be taken have also been given. After eating, the needles that should be pierced have been pierced... But you have to be mentally prepared..."

Liu Ying stepped quickly into the yard, seeing him coming in, Liu Bi, Liu Xin and others hurriedly led their queen, first wife, concubines and children to salute in a hurry.

"His Majesty……"

"Whatever the occasion, it's all free..."

Liu Jiao took two steps forward and pulled Liu Ying's arm, tears streaming down his face: "You, you are here, your aunt is waiting for you..."

Liu Ying walked inward without saying a word, just looked at Liu Bang who was standing by the bed and nodded slightly, then knelt down on the head of Li's bed, her voice was hoarse and trembling: "Mother, grandson is here..."

It seemed like a century had passed before Li slowly opened her eyes, her empty, lifeless eyes, and it seemed like a century had passed before she moved her gaze extremely slowly to Liu Ying's face, which was full of wrinkles and An almost imperceptible smile crept across the age-spotted face.

However, she did not speak.

Even though Liu Ying was the one she wanted to take a last look at, she didn't speak.

She knew very well in her heart that once she opened her mouth to speak, she would let her last breath out.

Now it will be the new year, the official day of the academy, and everyone in the world is looking forward to this day. Thousands of foreign envoys and barbarian monarchs gather in Chang'an!
At this moment, she must not die!

She must live through that day!
This is the last thing a village woman, a village woman with little education, no merits, and a life of mediocrity, would do for her grandson!

She must not fail!

Liu Taigong sighed in his heart, he has been a couple for more than sixty years, how could he not know what Li Shi was thinking?
So he looked at Liu Ying, who was kneeling by the bed, her shoulders twitching, and said in a low voice, "Okay, your aunt can hear you crying, it's not in vain that she treats you so well... You all go out, don't disturb her quietness."

Liu Bang stepped forward, picked up Liu Ying, who was a little vain, and once again took a deep look at Li, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and only her slightly undulating chest indicated that she was alive. Ying walked out.

wing.

Liu Bang looked at Liu Ying who was sitting on the bench with a dazed face, and asked in a voice that could only be heard by him and Liu Ying: "Do you know why your father kicked you and me out?"

Liu Ying shook her head blankly.

At this moment, he was in a state of confusion and had no thoughts at all.

Liu Bang squeezed a smile that was uglier than suffering: "Your father hates you and me now. Your mother is going to wait until the end of the New Year's ceremony for you... That kind of pain is You and I can't imagine..."

"Why is it so... why is it so!" Liu Ying shook her head sadly.

"Yeah, why is that so?" Liu Bang also shook his head sadly.

But, this is Li Shi, this is the Li Shi who treated him as his own and raised him single-handedly...

..............................

Changle Palace.

"Clang...clang..."

Outside the gate of the palace, the bells on the vertical bell tower rang non-stop, and then bell towers in various places in Chang'an City also rang.

This is the bell of the new year.

Or death knell.

When the bell rang, the civil and military officials, princes of meritorious lords, and foreign envoys who had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time walked into the gate of the palace one by one, and they were arranged in sequence on the white marble square in front of the Xuanshi Hall.

In a short time, elephants neighed in the silent palace, and lions and tigers roared one after another.

This means that Liu Ying's Luanjia has set off from the harem and is about to enter the former dynasty.

Pushed by 32 people, Liu Ying's eyes were bloodshot and her face was as white as paper.

Since returning from Xinfengcheng, he hasn't slept again, but when he couldn't hold on anymore, he leaned over the desk and took a nap for a while.

In just a few days, he struggled repeatedly in his heart and kept examining himself.

He found that the beating heart in his chest seemed no longer as pure as before.

When he heard what Liu Bang said about Li's choice, he felt a little lucky in his heart!

At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed, but it has to deal with national funerals...

I really am a mean, shameless, cold-blooded and heartless person... Liu Ying put her right hand on her cheek, full of frustration, and tortured herself desperately.

"His Majesty the Emperor is here..."

"His Majesty the Emperor is here..."

The voice of Honglu came from the sky, and the warriors with long halberds lined up into the Xuanshi Hall, standing with their backs, staring at the officials in the hall with piercing eyes.

"police--"

In the neat and resonant voice, Liu Ying's Yu Huo slowly appeared at the door.

"play music--"

The Taile Ling stretched his voice and shouted, and the hall suddenly burst into music, accompanied by Huang Zhong Dalu, Xiao Sheng, reed flute, and chime bells and copper chime. The king and the foreign envoys all looked solemn.

"Mountain hoo--"

The caller standing under Majesty Dan gave an order, and all the people in the hall fell to their knees and shouted in unison.

"Long live Long live Long live……"

This is the result of half a month of rehearsal, but at this moment Liu Ying is completely out of mood.

When Yu Lu arrived at Danbi, he took the long sword offered by Han Tan, walked slowly and firmly on top of Danbi, and sat with the sword in his arms, majestic.

At this moment, he truly became the emperor of the Han Empire, the ruler of this huge empire!
From the north to the North Pole, from the south to the ocean, from the quicksand to the west, and the East China Sea from the east, wherever people go, there is no one who does not refuse!
Even if the goshawk takes off from the easternmost point of the empire, it will take a full week to fly to the westernmost point without a break!
But after all, it is difficult for a man to conquer the sky. Even if he is the most noble and noble emperor on this planet, he does not have the power to make others overcome life, old age, sickness and death...

Perhaps, this is the reason why the emperors strive for longevity... Liu Ying sighed softly in her heart, accepted everyone's congratulations with a blank face, and listened to the voices of praise.

Under Majesty Dan, the audience held the edict in their hands, cadenced.

"...The emperor governing the world from the south must start with humanity. Establishing power and measuring, examining articles, correcting new records, changing clothes, different emblems, different equipment, and different clothes, the gains and reformers of the people are also..."

..............................

Xinfeng City, Zhongyangli.

In the dark inner room, Mrs. Li, an ordinary old woman, somehow produced a force, and she persisted until the sun rose again.

Taigong Liu looked haggard and withered, his originally bright eyes were now gloomy with life, he cherished the last time with Li Shi very much, but when he saw that she had breathed in, she was obviously in great pain, Can't help feeling distressed again.

"The children and grandchildren have their own blessings, don't be a cow and a horse for the children and grandchildren..." Although Liu Taigong was extremely reluctant, he comforted him softly.

Mrs. Li didn't dare to speak, she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, all her persistence would be in vain, so she just stared straight at Mr. Liu.

Taigong Liu asked softly: "Who else do you want to see? The third? Or the fourth? Or your hundreds of grandchildren and great-grandsons? They are all outside..."

Mrs. Li still didn't blink, just hearing the sound of hundreds of grandsons and great-grandchildren, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but smile.

Liu Taigong was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, turned his head to look outside and asked, "What time is it?"

There used to be a chime clock in his room, which would have been fine in normal times, but at this time, the sound of the chime clock was like a death knell, so he had all the clocks moved out.

Outside the door, Liu Jiao poked his head and said softly, "It's already past time."

"It's already passed the time of day?" Taigong Liu jumped up all of a sudden, dancing like a child, looked at Li Shi excitedly and said: "The Great Court Meeting has already begun, and you finally made it!"

Seeing Liu Taigong's smile, Li Shi also laughed, with a look of satisfaction, relief, and relief.

This smile is just like six or seventy years ago, on that day when the mountains were full of flowers, she came back with a smear, and attracted a passing scholar to fall in love with her...

In this life, no regrets...

Liu Taizheng was so happy that he suddenly realized something, so he lowered his head to look at his wife, only to find that she had quietly closed her eyes.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly, and probed for Li Shi's breath, and sure enough, he had lost all breath...

Liu Taigong felt sad and wept silently.

This is his wife, an ordinary and great woman...

Having a wife like this, what can a husband ask for?
Liu Taigong hugged Li's body tightly in his arms, wanting to cry loudly, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't even make a slight sound!
Great grief, it turned out to be silent.

At this moment, Grandpa Liu suddenly discovered that when Mrs. Li was here, he had lovers, friends, confidants, and partners, but now that Mrs. Li is gone, he has nothing left!
Who in this world will love you wholeheartedly and without reservation?

no more, no more...

With tears in his eyes, Liu Jiao suddenly realized that his father's head had drooped down at some point. He moved it slowly, and if it took a century, it was slowly placed under Liu Taigong's nose.

In the next second, Liu Jiao's extremely sad cries sounded in the room.

"Father, mother..."

ps: When people are sick, their emotions are very sensitive. I have a runny nose and tears, crying while thinking, writing and crying, and a pack of paper just opened will be gone in one afternoon... So, it depends on my body temperature 38.6 is still being updated, so it’s not an exaggeration to ask for a few recommendation tickets and monthly tickets for comfort...
