I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 271 The second spring I gave the grass on the wall (three more)

An Le immediately raised his hand, wiped his face vigorously, and shouted excitedly to the government office: "Come on, prepare the horse for me, I want to enter the palace to face the saint!"

When An Le hurried into Weiyang Palace, it was already You hour, because he left in a hurry, so he didn't even have time to eat.

Because I was very nervous and excited, and at the same time physically tired and thirsty, when I walked up the stairs on the high platform of Weiyang Palace, I almost fell down several times.

Fortunately, the little visitor who welcomed him into the palace had sharp eyesight and quick hands, otherwise he would have fallen all the way to the bottom.

When An Le walked into Xuanshi Hall, Liu He was sitting on the imperial couch under the jade steps, having dinner alone.

The fresh and tender pheasant grilled over charcoal fire wantonly exudes a seductive burnt aroma.

An Le smelled the tangy aroma, and then looked at the roasted yellow pheasant, almost fainted, his legs gave way, and he fell to his knees.

"My minister Zuo Fengyi Anle greets His Majesty." There was a tremor in Anle's voice.

"Anqing is free from courtesy, you and I are acquaintances, so sit opposite me." Liu He said vaguely while gnawing on a piece of chicken.

Immediately, the little internal official Fan Ke came in immediately, and set up a couch and a few desks in front of the emperor. After An Le made another salute, he carefully sat opposite the emperor.

Maybe he was really hungry, or maybe the food on the emperor's case was too tempting.

An Le swallowed very disrespectfully, and the voice was naturally caught by Liu He.

"Why, hasn't An Qing had dinner yet?"

"This... After Weichen received the oral order, he came immediately and left in a hurry, so he never had dinner."

"That's because I didn't think carefully, Fan Ke, go to the dining room and bring An Qing some food."

"promise."

After a while, the food came up.

A bowl of bean rice, half a grilled chicken, a few plates of soup, and a glass of wine.

Not rich, but tempting enough.

"An Qing, let's eat first, I will discuss business with you later, you are my thigh, please take care of yourself."

These two sentences made An Le's heart warm for a while, like a spring breeze, so she didn't delay any longer, and immediately started to gorge, that eating was really not good-looking.

A gust of wind blew away the remaining clouds, and the monarch and his ministers were full of wine and food together.

Compared with the Son of Heaven, An Le drank an extra glass of Xuanjiu, so he was even more lethargic and agitated.

"Is An Qing still used to living in Chang'an City?"

"Is An Qing doing well in Zuo Fengyi's tenure?"

"Have Anqing's family members received Chang'an City from Changyi Kingdom to settle down?"

The emperor asked three times in a row, which made An Le, who had just run into trouble at Lecheng, even more moved. As expected, the emperor was still considerate.

"Thank you for your majesty's concern, my minister is well."

Under the blessing of alcohol, An Le's eye circles turned red.

And there was some choking in the voice of speaking.

Whether it's giving dinner, or giving Xuanjiu wine, or the three questions in a row, they are all "packages" prepared by Liu He in advance.

What he wants to achieve is the current effect.

In fact, Liu He guessed that An Le must have been unhappy recently.

This is a perfectly normal thing, because An Le's body bears the obvious label of the emperor's "old minister".

Huo Dang didn't dare, nor was he willing to accept him.

If Liu He had reused An Le from the beginning and placed An Le in a prominent position, then Le Cheng and the Huo Party would still "please" An Le out of practical considerations.

But it's different now, the emperor only gave Anle a "mere" Zuo Fengyi, obviously he didn't pay much attention to this "head of officials" when he was in the hidden mansion.

Dogs see people as inferior, but that's all.

In this way, Anle naturally tasted the warmth and coldness of the world.

From the guardian of a country to the new daughter-in-law who is now two unflattering faces, An Le must have felt wronged.

Liu He just wanted him to know that you are the son of the emperor and cannot be changed.

There is no good end for being a fool.

But now, Liu He will give him one last chance, and it depends on whether he can use it.

"An Qing, do you have any complaints against me?" Liu He asked.

An Le's face changed suddenly, and he quickly said "I dare not", if Liu He hadn't stopped him, he would have smashed his head in the Xuanshi Palace.

"When you were in Changyi Kingdom, you treated me well, and you were the top of the officials in Changyi Kingdom. Because of this, I can't reuse you. Do you think of the reason?"

"Excuse me for being stupid..." An Le obviously hasn't recovered from the excitement just now.

"You have my imprint on you. I just came to Chang'an at that time, so naturally I couldn't place you in a prominent position, and you are not a military general like Wang Ji. Putting you in Zuo Fengyi's position is already my place. It was the limit of what I could do at that time, so don’t blame me.”

Liu He's words were half-true and half-false, and An Le said it while he was drunk, which moved the other party even more.

"However, presumably An Qing also has doubts, afraid of getting too close to me and offending Father Zhong?"

"This, this... Your Majesty..." An Le, who had been punctured in his heart, was at a loss and could no longer speak fluently.

"When I first came here, all the civil and military officials in the court were staring at me, for fear that I would make a big fuss in Chang'an, so it's perfectly normal for An Qing to have hesitation and worry, and it's human affection."

After Liu He finished all the foreshadowings, he cut to the chase and went straight to Anle's life.

"But now, I'm the real emperor, and An Qing, the head of all officials, should have her day."

"I want to ask you, are you willing to do something for me?"

An Le is a veteran in the officialdom. Hearing these few words from the emperor, his surprise was beyond words, and he bowed down again immediately, and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty has worked so hard, and I can't repay you for my humble minister's heart!"

Liu He nodded. This was the only chance he gave An Le, and it was also the last chance.

Moreover, the matter entrusted to him does not require an confrontation between An Le and Huo Guang. If he can't even do this, then what use is Liu He asking him?
"Mingguang Palace is the palace built by Emperor Xiaowu. It is not only the face of the great man, but also my face. Now that it is on fire, I feel panic and blame myself."

"I hope that Zuo Fengyi can close the case as soon as possible. It is autumn, the sky is dry and things are dry, and fires often happen. It should not be pending, so as not to be used by people with intentions, which is not good for me."

"Father Zhong has been very troubled and sad in handling military affairs. He shouldn't worry about such trivial matters for too long." Liu He added the last sentence.

"Your Majesty, you want me to close the case as soon as possible on the grounds that the sky is dry and things are easy to catch fire?" An Le asked again.

"Wrong, I hope you can thoroughly investigate this matter and finally report it truthfully." Liu He looked at An Le meaningfully with a deep look in his eyes.

An Le was a little puzzled at first, but soon realized it.

It must be investigated thoroughly, truthfully, and as soon as possible—moreover, it must be in line with the emperor's wishes.

"I understand, within three days, within three days, I will definitely investigate the case thoroughly and report the truth to the general."

At this point, Liu He finally nodded in satisfaction, An Le still has some uses.

However, today's beating is not over yet, Liu He has other things for An Le to prepare in advance.

"An Qing, I want to ask you, how many soldiers in Zuo Fengyi's jurisdiction?"

"There are quite a few soldiers in the government office, and they are changing from time to time, but judging from the number of personnel, there should be 350 people, and the number of soldiers in service can reach about [-] percent." The thing is "like every treasure".
