Liu Qing hurriedly stopped in front of the artist and scolded loudly: "Bold, Your Majesty is so noble, is it a villain like you?" If you don't have any other skills, step down! Liu Qing knew that the jade seal was still on Liu Zhao, and if it was revealed by this artist, it would be a shocking change, so he had to stand up and stop it in advance.
Dou Xianzheng was watching the excitement, and suddenly saw Liu Qing come out to stop him, and said loudly: "King Qinghe, what about the change, it must be very interesting, the things on Your Majesty's body must not be fake, what are you stopping him from!" That's a lot to do! ”
Liu Qing sneered: "The general doesn't take the emperor in his eyes and use the Son of Heaven to make a play, is this what a courtier should do?" ”。
Dou Xian was first angry with Yin Mu and then by Liu Qing today, and couldn't help but be furious, but the Queen Mother was present and it was inconvenient to attack, so he had to suppress his anger and said, "That's it, I won't argue with you!" If you want to change, + no + wrong + novel + 3w.++ how about changing this jade pendant on my body? If it doesn't get good, you won't be spared! ”
The artist originally wanted to show his ability, and show his ability in front of the queen mother and the emperor, how did he know that there was a sudden change, but he had been here for a long time and did not panic. He said loudly: "The general can put the jade pendant in his arms!" ”
I saw him stretch out his hand and grab it in the air, and blew it with his mouth: "General, please look, the jade pendant is here!" As he spoke, he stretched out his palm, and sure enough, the jade pendant was placed in his hand. Dou Xian was stunned for a moment, touched his arms, and sure enough, he was gone. I was very surprised in my heart, I thought it was very interesting, and I stroked my palm and laughed: "It's really interesting." The emperor might as well try it too, the minister has already tried!" This time, Liu Zhao was put out again.
Liu Zhao changed color slightly, and he also knew why Liu Qing blocked it just now. Now that he can't hide, the civil and military officials of the whole hall, including the Queen Mother, are looking at him. was hesitating, Liu Qing said again, "What kind of ability is this, if Your Majesty puts something on the case, will you change it in front of us?" ”
Liu Zhao immediately understood. He took off the royal belt from his waist and put it on the table, and said, "This thing is big, and it is in the eyes of everyone." If you show your ability, turn it into your hands, and I will be rewarded! ”
When the artist saw it, he said, "This is not difficult! As he spoke, he took out a silk handkerchief from his bosom. Cover on the straps. After ten steps away, he grabbed it in the air and saw that the belt was already in his hand. Everyone applauded and laughed, and took out items for him to change, which solved Liu Zhao's predicament in a moment, and the two brothers couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Empress Dowager Dou watched coldly, feeling that the emperor's expression was different, but. But he thought his brothers had some ghost ideas, so they just smiled. But it doesn't break.
After the illusion performance ended, Liu Zhao pretended to go to the toilet, pulled Liu Qing out of the Qianqiu Long Live Palace, and said in a low voice: "Shicai scared me to death, Brother Huang, this jade seal still has to be handed over to a safe person." ”
Liu Qingdao: "Except for the emperor himself, anyone will be in danger. Because, except for the Queen Mother and Dou Xian, they will not take anyone else in their eyes. The Queen Mother looked at the emperor with suspicion just now, and after you and I go back, Your Majesty can deliberately look at me and let the Queen Mother put her suspicions on me. When the banquet is over, someone will definitely search my body, and Your Majesty can take the opportunity to hide the jade seal, and when the Queen Mother thinks that she has been deceived, it will be too late. ”
Liu Zhao nodded, and the two of them deliberately returned to the hall sneakily, with eyebrows between their expressions, and sure enough, Empress Dowager Dou stared at Liu Qing and sneered secretly. The two pretended not to know and continued to watch the performance. By the end of the show, a crescent moon had already risen, Liu Zhao said: "Everyone, Aiqing, today's banquet is over, I and Zhongqing will play to the heavens, may I be a great Han world, the four seas will be peaceful, the people's livelihood will be safe, and the five grains will be abundant!" ”
All the ministers knelt down in unison and said in unison: "May I be a great Han in the world, the four seas will be peaceful, the people's livelihood will be safe, and the five grains will be abundant!" ”
"Flat! Zhongqing tossed for a day today, and they are all tired, so let's go back! Liu Zhao waved his hand. The ministers withdrew from the Hall of Long Live the Thousand Autumns. When Liu Qing left, he deliberately glanced at Liu Zhao again. Empress Dowager Dou looked at them one by one, and her heart was even more suspicious!
Liu Zhao didn't sit in a sedan chair, let the attendants follow farther away, and deliberately walked around the long road, he remembered that when he was playing with Liu Qing when he was a child, there was a stone cave in a rockery, which was suitable for hiding things, so he trotted forward and shouted: "Don't follow me, I want to run back by myself!" Without Cai Lun's company, a large group of attendants had no idea at all, and only when he ran away did they chase after him shouting.
Liu Zhao looked around and put the jade seal into a hole in the rockery, which was extremely dark and no one paid attention. He deliberately ran out again, leading the attendants to run towards the Deyang Palace.
Liu Qing came to the gate of the palace and was stopped by the guard, "Lord, the Queen Mother ordered the ministers to search if the prince brought anything back to the palace that he shouldn't have bringed!" ”
"Bold! This king is the emperor's brother, what is there to have, what do you want, the emperor will not give me, what is the thing that should not be bringed? If you say it, you can search for it, and if you can't say it, the emperor will go to theorize! ”
Wei Wei said with a smile on his face: "The prince is angry, and the slave is also acting on orders, how can he deliberately embarrass the prince?" The prince still gives a small face, otherwise he can't explain to the queen mother, right? ”
Liu Qing frowned and said: "That's it, don't be embarrassed by your little sergeant, search but search, can't find out, I still have to find the emperor to reason!" ”
Wei Wei nodded with a smiling face, from top to bottom, touched it, naturally there was nothing, and his face became pale, so he had to say: "Prince, there is nothing, the villain is also on the order of the Queen Mother, the prince can't embarrass the villain!" ”
King Qinghe knew that this was inevitable, and deliberately scolded with a straight face: "You have your difficulties, this king knows, but you will have a little eyes in the future, don't pretend to be big in front of this king." Although this king is not treated by the queen mother, after all, he is the emperor's own brother, and the emperor is good to this king, you are not unaware. That's it, since there is nothing to do, this king can leave the palace! ”
"Naturally, naturally, lord, please!" Wei Wei stretched out his hand and led Liu Qing out of the palace, only then did he wipe his sweat and run back to the palace to report to the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Dou touched her ring and said lightly: "You go down!" ”
Wang Yin'er came up and asked, "Queen Mother, why do you want to find out about Liu Qing, the king of the river?" ”
"Hmph. I've fallen for these two children, and if they have any secrets, then it must be with the emperor. Now that the best time has been missed, no matter what it is, I can't find it. Yin'er, have you lost anything important in the palace recently? ”。
Wang Yin'er shook her head: "Queen Mother, I haven't heard of this, we moved here, and we want to say that we are lost." Even the things in the Jiade Hall should be paid attention to, but there are palace people guarding them. It should be fine! ”
Empress Dowager Dou glanced at her, took the ginseng soup she handed over and took a sip, which was bitter and put it on the table. He breathed a sigh and said, "Let the Seal Palace go and see it tomorrow morning." There are no traces of the jade seal! ”
"Whoa!" Wang Yin'er agreed, but there was a drum in her heart, it seemed that she was going to say hello to the seal guard tomorrow.
The next day, when the seal keeper came to Xuande Hall, Wang Yin'er pulled him aside and whispered: "My lord, someone has touched this jade seal, but I just looked at it!" ”
"Who?" The seal keeper was shocked, feeling top-heavy and showing some falls. "It's the emperor!"
"Your Majesty!" Hear her say that. The seal guard breathed a sigh of relief, since he was the emperor. That's normal. Although he knew that the six seals of the Son of Heaven had always been held by the Queen Mother, it was not a big deal for the emperor to see it. Therefore, he breathed a sigh of relief, and did not take a closer look, and saw that the jade seals in each box were there, so he relieved himself and told Wang Yin'er that the jade seals were fine.
When Empress Dowager Dou heard the report, she naturally couldn't guess the mystery, so she had to treat it as a game between children and let it go. The jade seal turmoil passed peacefully.
In the first month of the fourth year of Yongyuan, Liu Zhao issued an order to send the general Zuo Lieutenant Geng Kui to grant the seal ribbon to remove the seal, so that Zhonglang General was appointed to guard the guards of the Tun soldiers Yiwu.
At the beginning of February, he sent the general Dou Xian to lead his troops back to the border, and ordered Dou Xian to garrison the border to prevent a surprise attack by the Xianbei people. Since then, Beijing has been quiet.
At the beginning of March, Yuan Shang came to the palace crying, and saw Liu Zhao crying on the ground, "Your Majesty, my father is terminally ill, I ask to see Your Majesty again, Your Majesty!" ”
Liu Zhao's heart tightened, tears almost welled up with him, and his voice choked: "What's the matter, can't it be cured?" Didn't I already send an imperial doctor to treat him? ”。
"Your Majesty, my father is very old, and he is worried about the government every day, and the fire is in the meridians, and he is incurable."
"Okay, I'll go with you to see Old Situ!"
Everyone in Situ's mansion looked sad, and the servants were all quiet, not daring to make a sound. Seeing Liu Zhao coming, he was about to kneel, Liu Zhao walked in quickly, waved his hand, and ordered everyone to be exempted. I only feel weak, it seems that every bone joint is like being soaked in vinegar and soft, and walking is like stepping on cotton, sometimes high and sometimes low, and my heart is unsteady.
When his father died, he took his hand and told him, "Old Situ is an upright person, dedicated to the Han world, and a loyal person, but everything is asked!" "Now that he is about to die, the court has lost a pillar, and he has to lose his arm, only to feel that Qu is high and widowed, and no one is in the court and the Dou family, fighting with reason, leaving himself alone, I don't know what kind of situation I will face.
"Your Majesty!" Yuan An stretched out his lean arm, and held Liu Zhao's hand tightly with both hands, as if Liu Zhao would suddenly disappear as soon as he let go, and his voice was sad and clear: "Your Majesty, these days, the old minister is sick, and the things in the front court have been told by Yuan Shang to the old minister." Since ancient times, emperors have been as smart and young as the emperor, and there are very few wise and wise emperors. The old minister has served the emperor for three generations, and now he can no longer assist His Majesty, and the minister is unwilling in his heart! ”
In a word, Liu Zhao burst into tears, endured his sorrow, and comforted: "Old Situ, you haven't seen Zhao'er grow up, you have to be well, you don't want to be so much when you're sick, keep your spirit, and help me!" ”
"Keep it-" A hint of a smile flashed across Yuan Anla's yellow face, but it was even more sad to look at.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is no longer good, he can't keep his spirit, I have something to say to the emperor today. You listen to the minister, okay? ”
"Hmm!" Liu Zhao couldn't help it in the end, and tears fell like a broken line.
"Don't cry, the emperor, the old minister knows that His Majesty hates Dou Xian and his party, I sometimes think, Your Majesty would be good if you grew up, and Your Majesty would be better if you grew up. However, the minister knew that no matter how old His Majesty grew, Dou Xian's party would not disappear by itself, and it was still up to His Majesty and the ministers to work together to eliminate it.
