92, Mandate of Heaven

There was silence in the conservatory hall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Qing moved uneasily, only to feel that his whole body was sweating, and his heart was even more anxious.

It's not that the King of the River is not determined enough. The greenhouse hall is the place of warmth in winter, therefore, in order to ensure warmth, this hall is the same as the pepper room, and the wall is painted with pepper.

- The pepper is hot, the taste is spicy, and the smell of cinnamon is mixed together, how can people not feel hot? What's more, there is more than one warm furnace in the hall, and it is at the time of the wine being hot.

Mo said that Liu Qing, even Huo Guang, who had just entered the hall, felt that the hall was a little too hot. However, looking up at the emperor and queen sitting in the tent, Huo Guang could also understand why the inner and the Yellow Gate were arranged like this.

- Whether it is the Son of Heaven or the queen, his face is not good-looking, he is very pale, and his body is even thinner, obviously weak. In addition, after drinking, you are already susceptible to cold......

Naturally, the Inner Authority and the Yellow Gate Department must consider these things first—in case, after a banquet, the two supreme and noble people fall ill at the same time...... They are two signatures, who can settle down?

"General!"

Huo Guang was thinking about these trivial things, but in Liu Fuling's view, the general's silence was deaf to his questioning.

Liu Fuling was already angry, and he was even more angry at this time.

Huo Guang was indeed distracted, and he was also startled when he heard Liu Fuling's voice close to roaring, but after all, he had been a close minister of the Son of Heaven for decades, and this scene was not so stable that his mind could not be stabilized.

"Your Majesty, this is a ...... The minister did not dare to be arbitrary. Huo Guang stood in front of the Son of Heaven's banquet, although he lowered his head and his tone was respectful, but the momentum of the regent of the Linzhao Dynasty was not concealed at all.

Liu Fuling clenched his fists and didn't say anything for a long time.

As early as when Huo Guang came in, Liu Qing stood up.

- Although the princes and kings are clans, but now is not the time for the beginning of the Han family, in the face of the great general Sima who is in power in the dynasty, Liu Qing is not interested in being the first person in the dynasty for the sake of the nobility inherited by the bloodline.

- What's more, this general is also the elder of the empress.

Glancing at the queen who sat down again, Liu Qing was a little unsure of what he should do.

- The king of the river will not be mistaken, when the young emperor spoke, a clear sneer flashed in the eyes of the queen who stood up and sat down.

However, at this moment, Liu Qing is most concerned about - what kind of book can make the young emperor lose his temper so much?

Although it was the first time he came to the DPRK, Liu Qing was not completely ignorant of this young man.

——This young emperor is the young son of Emperor Xiaowu, he has a reputation for wisdom since he was a child, he ascended the throne at the age of eight, although he has never been in charge, but he has always had the image of a Ming monarch, and he has never wavered in his throne in the slightest accident.

This time into the court, several contacts, Liu Qing even felt that this young emperor was quite precocious, behaved in a proper manner, and advanced and retreated appropriately, although I don't know whether he has the wisdom of an emperor, but, at least in words and deeds, this young emperor still has a bit of Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face did not change his bearing.

Liu Qing couldn't help but care about the content of the book, and his heart was even more uneasy, vaguely feeling that it was not a coincidence that he was at the meeting at this time, let alone a good thing!

Liu Fuling also feels the same way.

After the initial anger, pressing the boiling anger, Liu Fuling suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience in his heart.

- This performance is indeed extremely shocking, but no matter how perverse the content is, it is only words after all, and it is still a book...... Why did Huo Guang present it so anxiously?

- Can't wait even for a moment?

The more Liu Fuling thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

- When will Huo Guang care about these Confucian nonsense?

Liu Fuling flipped through the living notes (notes), and also read the "Taishi Gongshu".

Today, Liu Fuling is already very clear that his imperial examination is completely disdainful of those Confucian scriptures.

- What destiny?

- He is the Son of Heaven!

- His will is destiny!

- Although it was he who made the theories of the Confucian scholars more and more credible...... But how could he have really believed in them?

- If it is believed, how can his imperial examination be the same as Dong Zhongshu's calamity?

……

- If he believes it, how could he treat Wei Qing like that in the imperial exam?!

In March Bingchen of the second year of Yuan Shuo, Wei Qing, who was the general of the chariot cavalry, was named the Marquis of Changping with the merit of "Duxi River, the highest que, the first captive of 2,300 levels, and the harvest of chariots and livestock for brine", but only twenty days later, in March Yihai, obscure - the sun has eclipsed!

- How did he do the imperial exam?

- Yifeng!

——The Son of Heaven said: "The Xiongnu went against the principles of heaven, were incestful, tyrannical and abused the elderly, took theft as their business, defrauded the barbarians, conspired to borrow soldiers, and counted as border harms. The poem is not cloudy, 'Bo cut down the Xuan, as for Taiyuan', 'out of the car Peng Peng, the city is the other side of the city'. Today, the general of the Che Cavalry Qingdu Xihe to Gaoque, won the first captive of 2,300 levels, the car and livestock were harvested as halogen, and he was named the Liehou, and then the south of the West Dinghe River, according to the old Yuyu Sai, the Absolute Zi Ling, the Liangbei River, the Pu Ni, the Fu Li, the light sharp pawn, the ambush listener 3,701 people, the execution was ugly, the horses, cattle and sheep were driven by more than 100,000 people, and the whole armor soldiers returned, and the three thousand households of the Qing were sealed. ”

- This is just the first time!

- If there is one, there will be two!

In the sixth year of Yuan Shuo, November was ugly, obscure, and the sun was eclipsed. In the spring of February, the general Wei Qing rode out of Dingxiang with more than 100,000 soldiers of the six generals, but only more than 3,000 were beheaded. Wei Qing did not return to the court, and Hushima Yu Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and Yanmen sought to fight again.

- How did he do the imperial exam?

- Forgive the world!

——The reason for the edict to the world is that "the general patrolled the Shuo Fang, conquered the Huns, and beheaded 18,000 captives"!

——In order to show his determination, his imperial examination can count the record of more than 15,000 in the fifth spring of Yuan Shuo again, and reward it again!

- Of course, this algorithm is only the first time, and naturally there is a second time!

More than a month later, in the summer and April, Wei Qingfu sent the six generals out of Dingxiang for hundreds of miles. This time, the Han army was captured by more than 16,000 people, however, the more than 3,000 cavalry of the right general Su Jian and the former general Zhao Xin encountered Shan Yubing, and almost all the troops were wiped out, Zhao Xin surrendered to the enemy, and Su Jian fled back alone.

- What happened to his imperial exam?

- Indeed, in this battle, Wei Qing did not benefit from the seal, but what if he did not benefit from the seal?

——In June of the sixth year of Yuan Shuo, the edict of the Son of Heaven said: "I heard that the five emperors did not return to each other, and the three generations had different laws. Gai Confucius is far away from the Dinggong, mourns the public to discuss the ministers, and Jinggong uses it sparingly. Now China is unified and the north is not settled, and I mourn it very much. The Japanese general patrolled the Shuo Fang, conquered the Huns, beheaded 18,000 captives, and those who were imprisoned and transgressed were rewarded generously, and were exempted and commuted. Today, the general is still recaptured, beheaded 19,000 captives, and those who want to sell after being rewarded by the knighthood have nothing to lose. Its proposal is an order. ”

- So, there is a priest who asks for martial arts rewards to favor the warriors.

- Nineteen thousand-level ......

……

- What about the eclipse?

- What if it is a frustration after an eclipse?

- In short, if he doesn't believe in the imperial exam, then no matter how big the omen is, it is nothing!

- Everyone in the world knows how superstitious his imperial examination is about ghosts and gods, but what about the facts?

Liu Fuling couldn't help but sneer.

- Maybe......

- Perhaps, only in some things, even ghosts and gods, can't make his imperial examination rise half shaken!

- And Huo Guang, who has served by his imperial side for nearly thirty years, can have some trust in those scriptures and calculations?

- Destiny?

- Providence?

- If the Son of Heaven does not believe, he is nothing!

- Today...... Huo Guang didn't believe it...... It's nothing!

- Even if the whole world believes, it is useless!

Liu Fuling's heart became colder and colder.

——This rebellious recital book will definitely not make Huo Guang so unprepared!

- This time, Huo Guang didn't believe that it was providence at all!

- Huo Guang's previous attitude has already shown that he suspects that those visions are for people!

……

- Such a Huo Guang...... What do you want to do?

- The recital...... And what can it mean?

After calming down, Liu Fuling looked at the brochure in his hand again.

The content of this recital is not much, but Liu Fuling has read it several times.

This young emperor is precocious, but after reading it twice, he has already memorized this not long recital, however, he is still at a loss about Huo Guang's thoughts.

"General......" Liu Fuling clenched the bamboo slip in his hand and spoke slowly, "What does the general think about this?" ”

Liu Fuling spoke slowly, but his tone was calm.

Liu Qing couldn't help but be surprised.

- Is this a sign of weakness?

Although Liu Fuling never said it explicitly and did not hint at it, Liu Qing knew very well that the young emperor was not without the slightest knot in his heart for the great general Sima who was in power.

——The monarch is respected but has no power, and the minister is subordinate but holds the power of the world.

- Such a misplaced situation is a major problem after all.

- What's more, Huo Guang is not related to the emperor.

- Zhou Gong is always the uncle of King Cheng......

Liu Qing blinked—Huo Guang was just the empress's maternal grandfather......

- Involving the identity of a relative...... Not even a good thing......

Although there is no sign of discord between the two monarchs and ministers until now, Liu Qing does not think that the pair of monarchs and ministers can start and end well.

——In such a situation, Liu Fuling showed weakness......

……

- This is definitely not a good sign......

Liu Qing thought of this, Huo Guang also thought of it, but he didn't think about it for long, after the young emperor finished saying his question, he was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, this performance is on the Fu Jie Order. ”

Liu Fuling was stunned.

Liu Qing was also stunned.

Empress Shangguan was also at a loss.

- The One Who Played the Performance...... Is there anything special?

- Fu Jieling......

Looking at the frowning young man, Huo Guang lowered his eyes and said again: "The book is presented by the internal official." ”

-- Chief of the Interior......

Liu Fuling's face changed suddenly. (To be continued.) )
