I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 145 I am the filial son of the Empress Dowager Shangguan (please subscribe)

In the mid-July of the fourth year of Yuanfeng, the heat gradually increased.

The entire city of Chang'an, including Weiyang Palace, was completely heated up.

However, for Liu He, who is the emperor, it will not be too difficult.

A few days ago, after Liu He paid homage to the Gaomiao Temple and returned to the palace, the considerate Shaofu Lecheng temporarily moved Liu He's bedroom from the Xuanshi Hall to the south side of the Xuanshi Hall after consulting Liu He for instructions. Qingliang Hall.

The Qingliang Hall is more spacious, with thinner walls and many hollowed-out windows.

Therefore, compared with the relatively closed Xuan room, it is much cooler.

Although the Qingliang Hall looked less safe than the Xuanshi Hall, the people on duty in the hallway were Chang Yilang, and Gong Sui also lived in the small cubicle under the hallway.

In addition, Wang Ji quietly changed some of the soldiers and guards around Qingliang Hall, Xuanshi Hall and Greenhouse Hall, and most of the people who came in rotation were children from the land of Qilu—although they were not from Changyi, but at least they were respectful to Liu He. There is more intimacy.

In this way, even if he lived in Qingliang Palace, Liu He could sleep more peacefully.

As for Liu He's enjoyment in Xia Tian's life, Shaofu Lecheng has already arranged it properly - this is the responsibility of the Shaofu, if it does not involve court disputes, if it is done well, it will be a credit for nothing.

Every day from morning to night, in the corners of the walls in Qingliang Hall, there are large copper basins, and there are huge ice cubes in the copper basins. These ice cubes are cut from the river in winter and hidden in the cellar. The ones in it are specially reserved for summer use.

The ice cubes in the copper basin are changed every hour, so that the Qingliang Temple can always be kept at a suitable temperature.

Compared with the heat of the outside world, Qingliang Temple is like a fairyland.

The fruits and vegetables brought in are also the freshest, and Liu He can even taste a lot of seasonal fruits brought in from the south.

Under the blessing of ice cubes, gallops and fast horses, it can still maintain a certain degree of freshness.

Of course, this was sent to Chang'an regardless of the cost, and it is not a normal state that can be promoted.

And this is the privilege of the son of heaven, to enjoy the support of the world.

……

On this day, Liu He specially called Shaofu Lecheng to Qingliang Hall to meet him alone.

Since the small court meeting that day, Shaofu Lecheng was the official that Liu He saw the most. It was risky to summon other important officials in the court alone, but it was not a problem to meet his accountant and the chief housekeeper.

And maybe because of the lessons learned by Yang Chang, Le Cheng respected the emperor quite a lot, and on the surface, it seemed that he only followed the emperor's lead.

After worshiping the Gaomiao, Liu He's control over Weiyang Palace was further strengthened, or at least his control over Shaofu was strengthened.

And controlling the big man starts with controlling the Weiyang Palace.

The successful summoning for several consecutive days gave Liu He a better understanding of Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace is very big, much bigger than Liu He imagined.

In addition to the various palaces, there are also Shaofu, Yeting and the central government office - here are all kinds of archives and documents of the Han court and the court. It is a place with a low reputation, but it is extremely important.

Such a huge Weiyang Palace, even if Huo Dang has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to completely control it.

So in all aspects, it is possible to leave room for Liu He to manipulate.

……

"Ye Qing, I am very satisfied with the variety of fruits and vegetables brought in from the south, but remember to deliver them to Changle Palace on time every day."

"Changle Palace has been unoccupied for a long time, and there must be a lot of missing utensils. As a young mansion, you want to do everything before the Queen Mother. You must not slack off in the slightest. Instead, it is a matter of Weiyang Palace. You can wait later. I don't care."

"The late emperor suddenly made a big move, the empress dowager must be mourning. As the young mansion, Le Qing wants to measure the material resources of the great man and win the favor of the empress dowager. The health of the empress dowager is a blessing to the great man."

Liu He spoke solemnly, rambling on, detailing everything.

If outsiders who don't know the inside see this scene, they will definitely regard Liu He as a dutiful son.

But in fact, the "mother queen" in Liu He's mouth is actually many years younger than him.

However, although the mother and child are grown up, Liu He is a very competent son.

Every day, when Liu He and Le Cheng met, the first thing they talked about was to inquire about the details of the Queen Mother's body and daily life.

This made Lecheng feel puzzled and amused, wondering if the emperor was "purely filial" or "stupidly smiling".

Although he was slandering in his heart, Le Cheng never dared to show the slightest bit on his face. He could only agree one by one, and at the same time flattered the emperor's "benevolence and filial piety".

"By the way, if I remember correctly, the tenth day of August is the Empress Dowager's birthday." Liu He asked.

"Your Majesty is really easy to remember. The tenth day of the eighth month is the Empress Dowager's birthday. According to the previous regulations, there will be a birthday ceremony in the palace. The Shaofu and Taichang have already started preparations, and it will be presented in a few days for His Majesty to decide. " Le Cheng said respectfully.

"I'm afraid it's not right." Liu He said after pondering for a while.

"What's your Majesty's sacred metaphor?" Lecheng asked suspiciously, this matter has to be done every year, he didn't know what the emperor wanted to say.

"Emperor Xiaozhao has just made a big trip, and the Empress Dowager may still be in mourning. Although the holy birthday ceremony can make Changle Palace lively, it will inevitably make the Empress Dowager think that things are right and wrong. If it is too extravagant and lively, the Empress Dowager may be out of grief. Deeply angry, transfer your anger to the Shaofu."

Le Cheng was surprised, why didn't he think of such an important matter, but he still needed the emperor to remind him.

This day, he really did himself a favor.

Le Cheng immediately apologized, saying that he was negligent.

"Le Qing, you have been in charge of the Shaofu for many years, and you will be able to handle all matters in the palace properly. I can rest assured that you will handle the matter."

"Your Majesty's praise, I will definitely serve you honestly in the future." Hearing the praise of the emperor, Le Cheng was very happy, it seemed that he had been approved by the emperor.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, although the emperor is a puppet, it is still a good thing to get the holy praise.

Of course Liu He could see Le Cheng's joy, he said these words deliberately for Le Cheng to hear.

This success and An Le are the same people, but they are usable but unreliable, and they must be hung with a big pie that can be seen but not eaten.

"However..." Liu He intentionally elongated his voice, and after Le Cheng looked at him, he said, "However, this time is a little different from the usual time, and it is best to ask more questions about various matters in the palace. , Don’t do it as a routine, lest you make mistakes in your busy schedule.”

"As long as Le Qing handles the affairs of the palace well, he will be able to achieve greater achievements in the court in the future. Father Zhong and Zhen will both see Le Qing's achievements."

"Prime Minister Yang Chang and the imperial censor Cai Yi are both old, and I'm afraid they will retire soon. I think Le Qing can take on this important task, and I will mention it to Father Zhong at that time."

Le Cheng was pleasantly surprised, but he couldn't help but have a little doubt: Is the emperor beating himself, implying himself?
But the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven after all, Le Cheng didn't dare to think too deeply, but hurriedly said: "I understand, the Empress Dowager's birthday ceremony..."

"There is no need to worry about this matter. After I ask the Queen Mother, it is up to you to say."

"promise."

"In addition, the heat is getting worse every day, so the dining room should be prepared with enough soup and iced mung bean soup every day. To deliver them to them, not a single one should be missed.”

"Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and my ministers must do well, so that His Majesty's kindness will spread throughout the palace."

"Well, then there will be Qing Lao Le."

After talking for about half an hour, Liu He sent away the surprise and joy of success.

The position of Shaofu is very important, and Liu He must firmly control it.

In the next period of time, it will depend on whether this success will be on the way.

If he is not on the way, then he will be replaced in the end; if he is on the way, let him stay in the position of the Shaofu for a few more days.

"Yu Wuyou, I want you to take care of the empress dowager's birthday matter just mentioned, would you like to go to Changle Palace for a run?" said Yu Wuyou, who was accompanying Liu He.

"No, I am willing to share your majesty's worries."
