Chapter 310: The Son of Heaven's Scheme
Beigong.
In the Changqiu Palace.
"Bian'er, how is the situation of today's court meeting?" The weather has gradually begun to get hot, behind the bead curtain, on the bamboo mat, the Empress Dowager He is wearing a light cyan palace skirt, and a green finch is embroidered on the back of the palace skirt, showing her graceful and delicate body to the fullest, which also carries the unbeatable nobility.
Her narrow phoenix eyes shone faintly, and fell on her growing son: "The mourning family heard that there was almost a fight in this palace!" ”
"The queen mother doesn't have to worry, the matter of the court, there is a Mu Taifu who is personally watching, I believe that the Mu Taifu will not let those people mess up!"
Not long after Liu Wei came back from the next court, he had already changed into a dragon robe, wearing a simple brocade robe, kneeling directly opposite his mother, smiling slightly, like a teenager's innocence.
"Bian'er, what the mourning family wants to ask is, what do you think of the order issued by Mushan?"
Empress Dowager He was silent for a while, and asked in a low voice.
Although she no longer went to the court to listen to the government, there were people who reported to her about the affairs of the court, and even if she couldn't take half a step out of this Changqiu Palace, she could know what was going on.
Mushan's order to seek talent made the court a mess, how could she not know.
"Mu Taifu is now in charge of the government and holds an important position, but there is no virtuous person to follow!"
Liu Wei didn't care at all, he said with a smile: "The world's talents, not to mention that he is a person with no foundation, even if I can't get one or two, they are all controlled by the scholars, the reason why he issued an order to seek talents, seeking the world's talents, is to stabilize my Han country, this is understandable, I believe in him!" ”
"Debate, do you really think so?" Empress Dowager He squinted, her eyes looked at her son's heartless smiling face, and suddenly felt a trace of chill, the young man in front of her, she should be very familiar, how could she feel so strange.
"Queen Mother, I know very well that I am still young, I have not been on the throne for a long time, I have no outstanding achievements, I have no prestige in the hearts of civil and military officials, and I naturally cannot control the affairs of the court!"
Liu Wei said softly: "I am afraid that only the Mu Taifu can be relied on, as for the Mu Taifu issued an order to seek talents, although it will cause the opposition of some scholars, it will be of great use to the government, and the ministers think that it can!" ”
In fact, he recognized that Makiyama had issued a merit-seeking order.
This search for talent made others see that it was a war between Mushan and the Shi clan that was not ending in time.
And what he sees is a future.
If in the future, this meritocracy can be used by him, then ......
"Since you think so, the mourning family is relieved!"
When the Empress Dowager He heard this, she looked at her son carefully, disappeared a trace of mustard in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "Although you are already pro-government, but the affairs of the court, you must not be impatient, Taifu Mushan, although there are tiger and wolf soldiers in your hands, you have no power to strategize and use it, on the contrary, Yuan Sikong and others are trying to be cautious, your father and emperor couldn't suppress them back then, you want to suppress them, how easy is it!" ”
"The sons obey the teachings of the queen mother!" Liu Wei said in a deep voice.
"By the way, the mourning family still has something to discuss with you!"
Empress Dowager He's expression skipped a trace of murderous intent: "King Chen Liuwang should have stayed in the imperial tomb to guard the tomb of the first emperor, but now he has returned to Beijing for no reason, what do you mean to do?" ”
"The queen mother, the son of the minister thinks that the time of Chen Liuwang to guard the tomb has long passed, he has chosen to return to Beijing, the son should settle him well, on the one hand, he can comfort his father's spirit in the sky, presumably the father also wants to see, our brothers are harmonious, on the other hand, you can also tell the world that between the son and the king of Chen Liu, it is a brotherly love, and there is no gap!"
Liu Wei said respectfully.
"Bian'er, you haven't thought about it, why did he come back?"
Empress Dowager He frowned, and the killing intent that could not be dissipated always lingered on her eyebrows.
Today, Liu Biannai is a righteous emperor.
But if there is a person who will have a direct danger to Liu Wei's throne, it is not Mu Shan, not Yuan Feng, but Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, although Liu Wei greeted the queen, but he has no children under his knees, if he has any accidents, the first one to inherit the throne is Liu Xie.
"The queen mother, the sons think that the queen mother is dead, King Chen Liuwang is helpless in the palace, in the court, he is also without a foundation, isolated, and will not pose a threat to the throne of the sons, the sons beg the queen mother, and his subordinates are merciful!"
Liu Wei stood up, walked up to the Empress Dowager He, knelt down in front of the bead curtain, and said sincerely: "He is the only sibling of Erchen, and Erchen doesn't want to end up killing each other, so please fulfill the queen mother!" ”
"It's a good thing that my son is so affectionate!"
When Empress Dowager He heard this, she sighed and said: "Since you are so protective of him, this palace will give him a chance, if he has any behavior that endangers my son in the future, then don't blame this palace for being ruthless!" ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
Between the mother and son, they talked about some trivial matters in the palace, and after about half an hour, Liu Wei bowed and retired, leaving the Changqiu Palace.
Looking at his departing back, Empress Dowager He's kind smile instantly disappeared in the cold killing intent.
"Little Sparrow!" She cried out under her breath.
"The Queen Mother!"
The girl in black stepped out from behind a screen and bowed her head for help.
"The person who is watching Liu Xie, can there be a report?"
"Yes!"
The girl in black said in a deep voice: "Since King Chen Liu's return to the capital, he has been in King Chenliu's mansion, he has never gone out, he has never seen hundreds of officials in the court, and he has not talked much with the old ministers of the clan. It's a bit pure-hearted! ”
"Huh!"
When Empress Dowager He heard this, she said coldly: "Liu Xie is just a young man who doesn't grow up now, and he has few desires? Is he determined? ”
"What does the Queen Mother mean?"
"Send more men and keep an eye on him!" Empress Dowager He said gloomily: "The emperor has brotherhood in his heart, and the mourning family can't do it directly, but if he finds something, then the emperor can't blame the mourning family and execute him directly!" ”
"Understood!"
The girl in black gave up her life.
*****************************************************
After Liu Wei, the son of heaven, left the Changqiu Palace, he did not return to his own palace, but walked to the Xianyangwan that was being built, which was beaten into ruins and is now being rebuilt, and many craftsmen are constructing.
"Stop!"
"No!"
Several palace guards carrying Long Luan stopped.
Liu Wei walked down from the soft collapse, and then looked at the palace gate of Xianyangwan, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Back then, my father's army was defeated here, and now I am panicking, and it can be regarded as a time has passed!" ”
The first emperor Liu Hong competed with the general He Jin, and the last battle was the defeat of the army here, so that the imperial power, which had been painstakingly managed for 20 years, was defeated again.
"Your Majesty, the minister will never let the past happen again!"
Beigong Ling, the chief general of the Imperial Forest Army, Liu Fan was wearing battle armor, his steps were firm, he walked up from behind, and said with his hands.
He defended the North Palace and rebuilt the Imperial Forest, although the Imperial Forest was under the command of the Guard, he could form an army on his own, and he had always served directly to serve today, and he was no exception.
"I'm just a testimonial, go down!"
Liu Wei smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "I want to walk alone!" ”
"Your Majesty, although this is in the palace city, it can be ......"
"Don't worry!"
Liu argued: "In this North Palace, I believe in the Imperial Forest Soldiers, go down, I just want to be alone and quiet!" ”
"No!"
Liu Fan obeyed the emperor's orders, led the guards, and slowly retreated, until he couldn't see Liu Bian, but he hung tightly, for fear that Liu Bian would have any problems in this palace city.
Liu Wei was alone, without taking the palace maid and eunuch with him, he walked around Xianyangwan, walked north, and walked to the shore of a lake, looking at a willow tree, and staring at the floating lake.
"I don't want to be like the emperor, so Mushan, I won't give you a chance to become He Jin!"
There had been some hesitation in his heart.
But after seeing the ruins of Xian Yangwan, his mood became firm.
"Zhao Zhong!"
"Your Majesty!" A figure gradually emerged from behind Liu Wei.
He dared to wander alone in this palace castle because he knew that there was always a talisman behind him to protect him.
"I want to kill Makiyama!" Liu Bian's words were frank.
"What Your Majesty thinks, slaves and maids obey!"
Zhao Zhong was very emaciated, he floated on the Yellow River for three days before he survived, he still had his own mission, he couldn't forget the situation that the emperor used his life to create, he must be loyal to the new emperor.
"But Your Majesty, if you want to kill Mushan, we must not do it ourselves, we need to borrow a knife!"
"Whose knife?" Liu Wei asked.
"The sword of the warriors!"
"Will they do it?"
"In the past, there may have been some ideas of coexistence between them, but now, the slave maid believes that the Shi clan wants Mu Shan to die more than us, and only when he dies can the power of the Mu clan collapse, and the court will fall back into the control of the Shi clan!"
Zhao Zhong's feminine voice was a little cold.
"Merit Order?" Liu Wei faced the breeze blowing from the lake, and his eyes flickered: "I'm afraid I can't imagine that this Mushan Ju is so bold and bold to ask for a virtuous order, even if my father had a heart, he didn't dare to promulgate it!" ”
In the pre-Qin period, there was Qin Xiaogong, who issued an order to seek talents and attract talents from all over the world.
His father, Emperor Liu Hong, also had a trace of such a mentality, but unfortunately he didn't dare to cross the bottom line of the Shi clan, and he didn't dare to gamble with the Han Dynasty.
"So the Shi clan and Mushan are already dying!"
Zhao Zhongdao.
"But if you want the scholars to do it, you still owe some fire!" Liu Wei is no longer the young man who can skip school with Mu Jing in Taixue, he is already today, so he has looked at the problem in depth: "I'm afraid they are also looking for ideas to borrow my knife and want me to kill Mu Shan in my name!" ”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhao Zhong nodded.
"I'll have to find a way to ignite their anger!"
"The slave has an idea!"
"Say!"
"Mu Shan and Cai Shangshu have been quite close recently, and the two are still talking about family affairs!"
"Family?"
"Mushan's only son, Mu Jing, is now sixteen years old, he intends to marry Cai Yong, the daughter of Cai Yong's family, regardless of appearance and talent, is the head of Luoyang, but it's just that Mushan insists on going his own way, Cai Yong seems to disagree, and the two have a lot of disputes!"
"Mulongtu asks for a kiss? Now the pastoral party has leaned towards the government and the opposition, and it is only the prestige of Shilin that is missing, if the Mu family and the Cai family marry, I am afraid that many people will not be able to sit still! ”
Liu Wei's eyes flickered, and a flash of inspiration moved in his mind: "Zhao Zhong, you said that if I gave him a kiss in person, what would happen to him?" ”
