Chapter 104: First monarch and minister, then uncle and nephew
In just a few days, Tian Wei asked Liu Che to press his neck to recognize what a monarch is. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The reason is very simple, after Tian Wei became the prime minister, he used the power in his hands to accept bribes and exclude dissidents, and some of the people he recommended were suddenly transferred from idle residence to 2,000 stone level, among which the most dazzling and able to make a face for him is the imperial historian Han Anguo. Therefore, he always said in front of Liu Che that it was for the court.
However, this time he finally kicked the iron plate once.
In the courtyard of Qingliang Palace, the cicadas on the towering cypress trees planted since the Han Palace was built by Gaozu are bursting, and the breeze is slowly plucking the leaves, and the rustle echoes among the tall and dense trees.
The wind swept through the treetops, through the verandah, and into the open chambers. Tian Wei withstood the hot sweat that came out all the way under the scorching sun, so that the cool air in the cool hall and the breeze behind him were swept up, like drinking ice water, very happy.
Tian Wei let out a comfortable sigh and walked towards the inner hall. Jiuqing's candidates have been transferred, and today, he wants to talk to His Majesty about the candidates for the county guards.
Chuntuo guarded the door of the inner hall, saw Tian Weilai respectfully bowed, and pushed open the door of the hall after raising his voice to report.
Tian Wei didn't look at Chuntuo much, he usually disdained the courtiers to get together with this first-class slave beside His Majesty, and it was not a shame to be the pillar of the country?
Chun Tuo can always be stable and steady in the position of the Yellow Gate next to Liu Che, not to mention anything else, the ability to look at people's eyes has already been cultivated to the home. He sneered in his heart, but his face was still full of warmth: Prime minister, please.
Tian Wei walked straight to the inner hall, and Chun Tuo gently took the door of the hall and stood back to the original place. There was no displeasure on his face, and for him, the respect of being despised and being smiling was almost the same.
However, since you are a human being, you can't live with a stutter like a cat or a dog.
His Majesty wanted to check on Tian Wei's own uncle, but he just wanted to see if he had trespassed. Unexpectedly, it seems to bring out something bigger and more disgusting.
Our prime minister doesn't know yet, but when the muddy water is washed away and everything is clear, what will happen to my uncle?
Chuntuo stood at the door of the hall, habitually hunched slightly, squinting his eyes slightly to receive the gentle breeze.
In the Qingliang Palace, Tian Wei presented a bamboo slip, "Your Majesty, there is a shortage of people and talents in the border counties of the imperial court." The minister tried to draw up a list to share His Majesty's worries, and asked His Majesty to look at it. ”
Liu Che didn't unfold, with a strange smile on his face: "Jiuqing has been transferred?" ”
There was a faint thorn in His Majesty's words, but Tian Wei was only slightly stunned. "Your Majesty, all the people selected by the ministers are capable of serving as county guards."
Liu Che sneered noncommittally, and opened the bamboo slip to look carefully. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly tensed a little, and Tian Wei wondered in his heart: Your Majesty, where did this anger come from? Since coming to the Xuanshu Palace, His Majesty has always accepted it nine times out of ten, and he is also very kind to his uncle.
Tian Wei knelt down and sat down, thinking that he always felt that something was missing when he walked through the courtyard. At this moment, when he entered the palace, he suddenly understood: it was the snow lion and the queen who were not there, and it seemed that His Majesty still listened to his words.
Thinking of this, Tian Wei felt a little more comforted. Although fighting with the queen's faction is also for his own power, it is more for this nephew. The queen looked at the supple and sold him a good favor.
Actually? It turned out that she was the heir to the Empress Dowager's biggest inheritance, and she had even surrendered to Wei Qihou. He originally thought that Wei Qihou would not be able to be the prime minister, and he would definitely resign in a negative mood with his temperament.
Unexpectedly, he was appointed as a lieutenant with his hand, Tian Wei stabbed him a few words, and Wei Qihou replied that His Majesty needs it everywhere.
Tian Wei only then realized that the Dou family was handed over to the queen.
The Empress Dowager's hand is good, and when it is handed over to the Empress, Her Majesty will not easily deal with the Dou family. And the queen and Wei Qihou cooperated in the harem.
is naturally the next Empress Dowager, or Empress Lu.
He has a prosperous relationship with His Majesty, and he can no longer indulge the growth of the queen's faction from the perspective of the overall situation.
Wife, you can change. Uncle, but for a lifetime.
It seems that Your Majesty knows this truth very well, Tian Wei curled the corners of his eyes with satisfaction, and it is understandable that His Majesty has a few words of temper for this. After all, he is an uncle, how can he have a reason to worry about his nephew?
Liu Che quickly finished reading the list, and gently tapped the case of Huanghuali double claw warped strip with his hand. Casually but seemingly meaningfully, he asked, "I see that many people on this list are very familiar, are they the prime minister's disciples?" ”
Tian Wei neither denied nor admitted it, and said with exquisite words: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the important thing is whether he can be competent. ”
I don't know what this sentence was wrong, Liu Che suddenly slammed it into the case, and the tea and porcelain spilled on the ground. He threw down the bamboo slip, but said in a calm tone: "Since it's just a trial, let's ask the prime minister to redraft it." ”
Tian Wei was shocked in his heart, and was about to speak, Liu Chezhao looked directly at him: "Prime Minister, don't forget that Prime Minister is the Son of Heaven." The people who want to use it should also run out, and I have a few people who want to use it! ”
Tian Wei looked at Liu Che with a cold face, a little confused: In the past, he was admonishing His Majesty to take a concubine, but His Majesty still refused politely, why did he get so angry this time?
He just smiled in an instant, and said to Liu Che, "Uncle is just trying to do it, if there is a better candidate, it will naturally be a sage to live in, I don't know who Your Majesty wants to use?" ”
Liu Che looked at him blankly, without the slightest intention of easing. "When I heard that the prime minister and Gai were feasting, I said that the prime minister was respectful and should sit in the east. Then the prime minister should know that the Son of Heaven and the prime minister are first monarchs and ministers, and then uncles and nephews. He accentuated his tone and said word by word: "Take back this list, and redraft a copy to my satisfaction." ”
Tian Wei raised his head and wanted to say something. But His Majesty, who was sitting at the top, had a heroic eyebrow shining against the light, and there was already the majesty of the first emperor faintly. A pair of eyes with a stern warning stared at him coldly, with a long-lost disdain in his eyes.
Your Majesty, where did you hear this? Gaihou Wang Xin is his eldest half-brother, but he is only a liehou, how can he sit eastward just because he is an elder brother? Naturally, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty is more noble.
I didn't expect Your Majesty to use the same reason to pressure yourself today, indeed, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven who is subject to all the people, and then his nephew.
Tian Wei leaned down and did not speak. He bowed respectfully, picked up the bamboo slips and withdrew.
His Majesty made such a big fire that it seemed to have smashed something on the ping-pong ground. Although Chuntuo looks like a natural clay figure, as if he didn't listen to anything, he still has a just right smile on his face. But Tian Wei felt that he had lost his face in front of the yellow door who pretended to be deaf and dumb, and after leaving the hall, he hurried out of the Qingliang Hall with anger.
Naturally, this can't be said to my sister Queen Mother, and my son and younger brother naturally have a bias. I'm afraid, my sister has to say that Gai Hou has been wronged, and she is waiting to train him together.
Tian Wei looked at Changxin Palace, but he still didn't go.
And in the Changxin Palace, Gillian actually held Liu Ping back and forth in the palace and teased him, smiling and carefully poking the child's delicate face with her hand, making him laugh happily. "It's so good, the eighth prince wants to raise our little prince well. Next year, it's time to run all over the ground, but you have to be careful not to bump into it. ”
Wang Xiyu sat at the end of the room, got up slightly when he heard the words, and respectfully replied. In front of the queen, she had nothing else to say except to respond. Although the queen's faint mother-in-law demeanor made her a little unacceptable, she had already understood that it was both lucky and unfortunate to be able to keep her by her side.
Even if the queen cares casually, it is better than indifferent before.
The Queen Mother was naturally happy to see Gillian treat Liu Ping well, and she looked at Gillian with a smile. thought to herself, although Gillian never did anything to Wang Xiyu's mother and son in the past, she was a little uneasy in the end. Now it seems that she has figured it out, she is a mother-in-law.
Gillian turned around and met the queen mother's relieved gaze, her smile was a little more, but her heart was filled with disgust: Isn't Yu'er your grandson?
She moved the lotus step lightly and sat down beside the Queen Mother with Liu Ping in her arms. The queen mother is used to hugging Liu Ping, and as soon as the child sees her, she stretches out her hand to hug her. Gillian took advantage of the situation to let the queen mother hold her, and Liu Ping went to his grandmother's arms and restlessly turned back to find the fragrant lingering embrace just now.
Gillian greeted Liu Ping's pure eyes that were not mixed with a trace of impurities, smiled heartily, and stretched out her hand to gently caress his face.
Wang Xiyu saw that the queen became sincerely fond of Liu Pinglai, and said softly with a smile: "Ping'er and the queen's mother are really born to deed." ”
Gillian looked back and smiled, and took over the conversation: "Wang Bazi's words are not bad, this palace likes Ping'er when she sees it, and Ping'er doesn't look like she thinks of this palace now." She said it playfully, and her eyebrows and eyes were smiling.
There was a happy atmosphere in the hall, but Gillian's expression suddenly froze, and she looked at Liu Ping and said in a low voice: "Take a closer look, Ping'er is actually very similar to Yu'er." Her tone was suddenly full of sadness, so that anyone who knew that the eldest son of the queen mother had died couldn't bear it in their hearts.
As soon as Gillian's words fell, Liu Ping squinted and threw himself back into the arms of the Queen Mother, raising a small face towards his grandmother.
Although Liu Ping is still young, he already has a delicate silhouette. In the past, the queen mother only praised him for his good looks, like Liu Che. But after Gillian was sentimental, she took a closer look, and she did look a little like Gillian.
When Liu Yu died, she was the only elder present who did not dare to hug her. But Guan Tao cried and said with a smile that this good grandson is like Gillian but deeply engraved in her mind, and the Queen Mother instantly felt that it was Liu Yu in her arms, and she was excited, and she barely held the child steadily.
Gillian caught Liu Ping with a choked throat and whispered: "Gillian felt nostalgic for a while, and it was uncomfortable for her mother to follow." ”
The Queen Mother came to her senses, trembling slightly, and clasped her hands in her wide robe. shook his head kindly, and comforted Gillian that life and death were counted.
Gillian lowered her head and did not speak. As Begonia painstakingly recalled, only the Queen Mother was pale and did not see Yu'er at that time. At that time, I only felt that the Queen Mother was sad, but today, judging from the infallible evidence, she didn't dare, and she didn't dare to see Yu'er who was killed by herself.
And the Queen Mother's reaction just now was as expected, Gillian restrained her grief and indignation, and thought with endless mockery: Why did you forget, Liu Che and I are cousins, and our eyebrows are somewhat similar. (To be continued.) )
