I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 64 The Emperor and Xiaolian

Liu Jian's words touched Liu Hong's heart.

He nodded secretly, thinking that the descendants of the Liu family are connected in some places after all.

I don't want to be used for nothing... That's a good point.

And he was speaking according to the facts. If he didn't fight back today, Liu Hong, the emperor, would have suffered a great deal of grievance.

"Xiaolian, you come with me!"

Liu Hong stood up, greeted Lu Qiang, and led Liu Jian to the garden in the West Garden.

Later, Liu Hong and Liu Jian visited the West Garden together, and Liu Hong gave Liu Jian a general introduction to every scenery in the West Garden.

Where is the beautiful view of the rockery in the Han Dynasty? What are the precious medicinal materials in the ingredients in the incense canal? How much meat can you eat...

At this moment, Liu Hong is like a child who can't grow up, proudly showing off the toys in his hands in front of Liu Jian, his cheerful words are full of complacency, and even when he is excited, he even dances and dances.

Liu Jian did not interrupt Liu Hong, nor could he.

He just silently followed Liu Hong who was "showing off", nodding for a while and saying yes, nodding for yes, and saying it was great for a while.

At the same time, he felt a little sympathy for the emperor in his heart.

Of course, only a little sympathy, no more.

Do you think Liu Hong is a fool?By what he does, he counts.

But do you say that Liu Hong is such a foolish king because he lacks wisdom?

Liu Jian didn't think so. If someone else took over such a mess like Liu Hong, he might not be able to do better than Liu Hong.

It can only be said that he is neither suitable to be an emperor nor born at the right time.

It was the first time I met him today, why did Liu Hong bring him to the West Garden to show off?

Liu Jian felt that it wasn't how much he impressed Liu Hong. Thinking about it, Liu Hong also brought many people to see his extravagant West Garden.

Everyone in the world has spiritual needs, everyone needs the approval of others, and the emperor is the same.

After Liu Hong came to the throne, he had made almost no achievements in government except for seizing power, or it was not that he didn't want to make any achievements, but that he couldn't make achievements under such harsh conditions.

Liu Hong's achievements in governing the country can only be described in four words: 'a mess'.

Especially after the party was imprisoned, scholars' evaluation of him as an emperor fell to the bottom, and he would not be able to take off the hat of a faint emperor for thousands of years.

Therefore, for Liu Hong, the luxury and decoration of the West Garden, as well as the unique swimming pool and incense canal in this world, are the only things he can show off to others.

He has nothing else to brag about.

It is sad that an emperor, who seeks self-esteem and a place in front of outsiders, has been reduced to showing off his wealth to others.

……

"Xiaolian, you are very lucky! Do you know that not everyone is qualified to come to my swimming pool and incense canal? You have to be a member of the court, or someone who has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty. Make an exception and bring him in for a walk."

Liu Jian said respectfully: "I am so terrified, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness."

Liu Hong looked at him with a smile: "Danhanshan beheaded the leader of the Xianbei bandit and brought the body of Tan Shihuai to the court. You did a good job. I am very satisfied with promoting the power of the Han Dynasty."

"It's all due to His Majesty's Tianwei, thanks to the blessings of the ancestors of the Han family, and has nothing to do with the minister."

Liu Hong walked to a carved wooden pillar, turned around and leaned against it.

"My surname is Liu, and your surname is also Liu. Presumably you are also a member of the Han family? I am the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaozhang and the great-grandson of King Xiaozhang Hejian. What about you?"

"The bloodline of the minister is far away. The minister is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan."

"King Jing of Zhongshan?"

Liu Hong didn't realize it for a while: "Which one is Prince Jing of Zhongshan?"

Liu Jian was a little embarrassed.

In fact, Liu Hong is not to blame for this matter. The kings of every vassal state in the former Han and later Han have continuations, and each generation of continuations also has posthumous titles. At least there are one or two thousand people. Listing these princes and kings together makes people Admittedly, it is definitely more difficult to read and memorize than reciting scriptures.

Liu Jian even suspected that after he sometimes told others outside that he was King Jing of Zhongshan, although those people pretended to respond suddenly, they might have no idea who King Jing of Zhongshan was.

Liu Hong's performance can be regarded as true temperament.

Don't blame him, Liu Hong back then was just a prince, a native of the countryside. Although he was taught by teachers after he came to power, but because he was twelve years old, most of the people who taught him were state affairs dignitaries and contemporary classics. In the branch of the genealogy, Liu Hong also mainly recorded the princes and kings in the later Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the ancestor of the minister was not the king who established the country after Guangwu Zhongxing, but the son of Emperor Xiaojing of the former Han Dynasty."

"Ah~!"

Liu Hong acted as if suddenly enlightened, he stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, sighed: "I remembered, I was negligent just now, and I didn't think about what happened before Zhongxing! Prince Jing of Zhongshan, I have an impression!"

Liu Jian smiled faintly: "Your Majesty manages a lot of things every day, works very hard, and it is reasonable to forget occasionally."

Liu Hong laughed out loud.

"Xiao Lian can talk, but I can't be considered a master of everything. Even if I want to, there are still people who don't want to keep me too busy."

After finishing speaking, he turned around, pointed at the beautiful scenery in the West Garden, and said with emotion: "Compared to the court hall, the beautiful scenery in the West Garden is my most important place!"

Liu Jian was noncommittal, he couldn't answer these words, and he didn't want to answer them.

Abandoning oneself is not something to be praised. He admitted that Liu Hong has had a lot of difficulties since he became the throne, and he has also thought of many ways to deal with it. Kind of wise.

It cannot be said that what Liu Hong did during his administration was wrong, but he did fail to do many things well.

"Xiao Lian, you are a bit harsh today!"

Liu Hong's voice suddenly became a little indifferent, and he began to change the topic to today's affairs.

really.

Liu Jian thought to himself, it is impossible for Liu Hong to find him to visit the garden casually, he must have something to say.

Not surprisingly, it still concerns the members of the Cao family.

"I don't care much about my subordinates. I just want to protect myself. I feel that I am not at fault."

Liu Hong narrowed his eyes, and his tone suddenly became a little harsh: "There is no fault? You have deposed him, why are you saying that you are not serious?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that if I acted lightly today and let Colonel Cao walk up to His Majesty to report my fault, I am afraid that his life will not be saved. I feel that I saved him."

After hearing this, Liu Hong heaved a long sigh.

How should I put it, this is indeed the case, but if the person concerned speaks out it himself, there is always something wrong.

If you disabled him, does he still have to go back and buy a table of wine to thank you?

Liu Hong sighed: "Xiaolian, do you have a problem with the Cao family?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have no quarrel with the Cao family, it is the Cao family who have a quarrel with the minister, they cannot tolerate the minister."

Liu Hong stretched out his finger to Liu Jian, and said: "Well, I want to be kind to you on behalf of the Cao family. The matter between you two ends here. I know that you scholars hate eunuchs, but Cao Jie was my close relative before his death. I don't want his family to be destroyed after his death, I want to leave some room for his Cao family, do you understand what I mean?"

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, I'm just an ordinary filial and honest minister, and I don't have the ability to destroy the Cao family."

"You don't have it, but the people in this court do, and they will use you to find a reason! You have to know that you are a man of the hour in Luoyang now, and that song sung by the common people in the cold area is praised by the scholars in Luoyang." Biography! And the great achievements you have made in the Northland, it is destined that you will not be an idler, do you understand?"

"I understand that I just don't want to be used by others."

Liu Hong nodded and said: "That's good, you are very sensible, sensible people, especially clan relatives, I will give you preferential treatment, do you understand?"

"Your Majesty understands, but Your Majesty, even if you are not used by others, does Your Majesty think that the Cao family will be as stable as Mount Tai?"
