Chapter 534: I'm Ready!

If the emperor asked so directly, then he was actually just suspicious, and he didn't really believe that Liu Xian and Empress He would have any bad relationship in his heart.

Liu Xian is also very aware of this, if it is true that he has a little matter with Queen He, the emperor may not ask it in person, but directly let the knife and axe hand come out, and he can't wait to chop Liu Xian into meat sauce.

In a way, this emperor actually has a true temperament. Sometimes, he does seem that the city government is not deep enough, to put it bluntly, the Tao is not enough.

Basically, as an emperor, he actually let those eunuchs around him be deceived and coerced, such an emperor, saying how much he has a city is fake. When it was really so gloomy, those eunuchs who dared to coerce him had already died no longer knowing how many times.

Liu Xian faced the emperor's questioning, he pretended to be innocent and helpless, spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Xiaohou came to see him this time, first, he wanted to talk to the emperor about disaster relief. The second is that I just want to talk to the emperor about Queen He...... Yes, there is also the matter of the princess of ten thousand years. ”

"I'll talk about helping the people later, you tell me first, what about Queen He and Princess Wannian? If they really have something, why don't they just come to me and tell me? Do you have to come through you to bring it up to me? The emperor said with a look of surprise.

"Okay, then let's talk about Queen He and Princess Wannian first. In fact, these things are going to have something to do with each other. Liu Xian nodded again and again: "Let's start with the first time the princess of Wannian pulled Xiaohou to Queen He." ”

Liu Xiandao: "If you really say it, you have to blame the emperor for this matter...... It's the emperor, you plan to marry the princess of Wannian, the Xiongnu prince Yu Fuluo, right? Just a prince of different races, how can he marry the princess of the Han Dynasty of our dignified Heavenly Empire? Princess Wannian was reluctant in her heart, so she went to cry to Queen He. Then, they all felt that Xiao Hou had a lot of ideas, so they pulled Xiao Hou to give them some advice. Specifically, it's pretty much the same. ”

"Humph! That's it? The emperor looked dissatisfied, but there was some relief in his eyes. If Liu Xian went to Empress He's palace to talk about these things, this is reasonable.

"That's true. In addition......" Liu Xian had a hesitant look on his face, and said: "In addition, Queen He also has some things, but Xiaohou doesn't know whether to talk about it." ”

"What else could she do? Let's talk about it. The emperor's expression was a little tangled, he was indeed afraid and hated Queen He, of course, there was still a trace of infatuation in his heart, after all, Queen He's appearance could indeed be said to be the best in his harem. Therefore, when it comes to Queen He, he is indeed a little complicated.

"Your Majesty...... In fact, Queen He is indeed quite stuffy in the palace. She wanted to go outside to relax, but she didn't know how to open her mouth to the emperor, worried that the emperor would think too much. That's why I asked Princess Wannian to take me to her palace and tell Xiaohou about these things. She wants Xiaohou to propose to the emperor that she wants to use the next spring festival to go outside to relax, and Queen He also wants to use this to pray for the Han Dynasty to be smooth and rainy, and pray for the emperor's blessings, so that the emperor's dragon body can be healthy. ”

She ...... Is that really the case? Are these her own thoughts? Hasn't anyone told her? Not even the idea you gave her? When the emperor heard this, his expression became even more strange, because he had already told the eunuchs about Empress He, and he had planned to transfer Empress He out of the palace, so that he could be out of sight.

"Your Majesty, these are indeed Queen He's own thoughts. Xiao Hou is just conveying it on his behalf now. Liu Xiandao: "Empress He also said that after the spring festival, she still wants to live in the palace of the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum, and then start to prepare for the ancestor worship in March Qingming." Empress He said that the emperor has not participated in the spring festival for many years, as well as the Qingming ancestor sacrifice. She wants to preside over these matters on behalf of the emperor, so that the people of the world can see that in the emperor's heart, he still attaches importance to the Han Dynasty and cares about the people, and hopes that the world will be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"She has such a good heart...... Cease! The emperor was really a little hesitant because of Wang Meiren's death, but when he thought about it, he didn't show too much resentment towards Empress He in front of Liu Xian, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I know what you said, I originally had this plan, when the time comes, not only the spring festival and the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum to worship the ancestors, but also the old palace of Chang'an needs to be renovated, and the people in the palace need to preside over it, and I have long planned to let Empress He preside over these matters." In some time, a decree will be delivered to her, and she will be able to leave after receiving it. ”

"Your Majesty! It turned out that the emperor had already had this thought. This made Xiaohou come to be this villain, and almost made the emperor misunderstand Xiaohou......" Liu Xian said.

"This matter has been revealed, and there is no need to say it again." The Emperor said.

Liu Xian's heart moved at this time, and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, there is another incident." is the little marquis and the righteous lady Ma Guiren, after she met Queen He, she had many common topics and talked with each other quite happily. After listening to Xiaohou tell her about Queen He's plans, Yiniang also called her good, and hoped to participate in these spring festivals and Qingming ancestor worship activities with Queen He. After that, she also wanted to visit relatives in Hedong County, Bingzhou. ”

"Ma Guiren wants to visit relatives? And the state of Hedong? It is not far from our Luoyang capital, separated by a Yellow River, and the Yellow River is crossed to the north. How? What relatives does she have in Hedong? The Emperor asked suspiciously.

"The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and many things must not be remembered so much at once. The emperor forgot that the eldest princess married the Geng family in Hedong County, Bingzhou? This Spring Festival, the eldest princess and the eldest princess of Yiyang, they also came to the capital to celebrate the Spring Festival. They also entered the palace, but unfortunately the emperor was too busy to meet them. ”

"Oh yes, that's it. Well, I almost forgot. Ma Guiren, the two princesses of Changshe and Yiyang, can be regarded as the relationship between the sister-in-law, and they are indeed relatively close relatives. It's human nature, exactly! In addition, I will also prepare some gifts for him at that time, and ask Hou Geng's family on my behalf. The emperor thought about it and felt that this was also an opportunity for him to show his favor to the people related to the previous emperor, and giving gifts to himself could also show that he was an emperor who missed the old days. If you have done too many things like this, then who in the world will say that he executed Liu Kui's family back then?

"Thank you, Emperor! Like Queen He and Ma Guiren, they really need to go out to relax, otherwise, they will always stay in the palace and the capital, and if they have nothing to do, they will easily get bored. Liu Xiandai thanked Ma Guiren.

Now that the emperor has agreed, then Ma Guiren can openly leave Luoyang and go to Hedong. Well, in fact, it's just a matter of finding a hidden place to have a baby.

"Then the matter of the princess of ten thousand years ......"

"My daughter's marriage is a big deal, so you don't have to worry about it Marquis Wuyong." The emperor said lightly, not wanting to talk about this issue anymore.

"Well, that's good, then what Xiaohou wants to say is that the Huns are actually wolf ambitions, and their Hun tribes are extremely relieved, and they almost knock on the border of our Han Dynasty every year, and this is no longer a problem that can be solved by a princess and their marriage. Now, Xiaohou has an idea, maybe he can suppress the development of the Huns, at least it can play a role in protecting our capital of the Han Dynasty. ”

"Oh? What do you think? The emperor looked at Liu Xian and still asked.

The emperor did not have a certain understanding of the affairs of the Huns, and he also knew that those Huns had always been the old enemies of the Han Dynasty, even if they were submissive to the Han Dynasty on the surface, but they were still unruly, and they didn't know how many small actions they had behind them.

Earlier, the emperor did want to use the power of the Huns to solve the Yellow Turban Rebellion. However, for the time being, the cavalry sent by the Huns is difficult to play a role at all, or in other words, it is difficult to really use them for their own Han Dynasty. If you don't listen to the announcement, you only know how to ask the court for military rations and salaries.

If it is said that the cavalry of the Huns can really be used by the imperial court, then the emperor has already agreed to Yu Fuluo's proposal and married Princess Wannian to him.

To put it bluntly, the Huns' loyalty to the Han and to him, the emperor, was not enough. failed to meet the emperor's expectations, so the emperor naturally would not do anything at a loss and give away his favorite daughter.

Historically, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was indeed no marriage with the Huns. Therefore, Liu Xian was actually not too nervous about the relationship between Princess Wannian and the Xiongnu prince Yu Fuluo.

"Your Majesty, this matter involves Xiaohou's relief to the people this time. Fang just mentioned to the emperor that the two things that Xiaohou said were actually related. ”

"How does it have to do with giving to the people? Tell me about it. The emperor glared at Liu Xian with some impatience, feeling that this guy was really capable of.

"The emperor should know that there are many people who have come to the capital from all over the Han Dynasty around the capital of Luoyang, right? They formed a number of homeless settlements around Luoyang. ”

"Well, I naturally know these things. I have seen the recital sheet sent by the minister of the DPRK and China. The emperor thought for a while, and then said: "I remember that at that time, whether it was the righteous army or the people who came to Luoyang, I asked the imperial court to send them home and return to their hometowns......

"Your Majesty!" Liu Xian interrupted the emperor's words and said: "Your Majesty, it was true that those rebels and some of the people who came to Luoyang were dismissed at that time. However, natural and man-made disasters in various parts of the Han Dynasty cannot be helped, and more and more people can no longer survive and live in their original places. Therefore, many people hope to go to Luoyang Capital to ask for a livelihood. Therefore, these people who came to the capital were actually slowly displaced to the capital later. Until now, people from all over the Han Dynasty still come to the capital every day. These people, very few of them come in groups, they are all small and small, and then slowly accumulate into a lot, and now, it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of displaced people around Luoyang. Does the emperor know about these situations? ”

"What? Hundreds of thousands? What do the imperial courts and mansions do to eat? With so many displaced people in the capital of Luoyang, if there is a riot, the consequences will be unimaginable! What nonsense! The emperor knew that there were many homeless people in the capital of Luoyang, but he didn't have a clear idea of how many there were, and now he heard Liu Xian say that there were hundreds of thousands of people, which really shocked him.

"Your Majesty! Riots will not be. At least not for the time being, as long as there are no people with intentions to incite them. Those displaced people are actually some poor homeless people, who are difficult to survive and will not riot and rebel for no reason. However, the food and drink of these hundreds of thousands of displaced people is indeed a big problem, and if it is not solved as soon as possible, there will definitely be big problems in the future. ”

"There's going to be a big problem! Damn it! Today, the Yellow Turban Army has not been completely wiped out. Our Luoyang Capital, although we have destroyed Ma Yuanyi, the head of the Yellow Turban Canal, and others who were active in the area of Luoyang Capital, who knows if there are still some people from the Yellow Turban Army lurking? In case they were instigated by those people, hundreds of thousands of displaced people rioted in the capital, which ...... "The emperor is really thinking about it now."

"What are the officials in charge of this doing? Such a serious situation of displaced people has not been dealt with...... Well, let me see if there is any talk about the situation of the displaced people. Then it occurred to the Emperor to look at the recitals that had been piled up in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, this music watch, you can look at it again slowly. Let's listen to Xiaohou talk about this first. Perhaps, Xiaohou will have a way to solve the affairs of these Luoyang refugees. ”

Liu Xian said at this time.

"Well, then Marquis Wu Yong, you can talk about it."

"Your Majesty, last time Xiaohou proposed in the court, and finally decided that Xiaohou would alone fund the relief of the people of the world. Preparations for this have already begun. As a result, the displaced people around Luoyang knew the news and came to see Xiaohou yesterday, hoping to get Xiaohou's relief help. After Xiaohou's inquiry, and understanding a certain situation, he believed that these displaced people were indeed living a very difficult and difficult life, and met the requirements of relief. However, hundreds of thousands of displaced people, how much food do they need? Xiaohou invested 100 million, but this 100 million is just a drop in the bucket compared to hundreds of thousands of displaced people, and it can't solve their problems at all. So ......"

As soon as the emperor heard this, he suddenly said with a vigilant look on his face: "Marquis Wu Yong, you don't want to ask me for money and food to help those displaced people, right?" I can tell you that I'm poorer than you are now. If the treasury can't come up with money and food, then I can't do anything. ”

Liu Xian secretly rolled his eyes, and he was still so angry, but when it came to money, he immediately looked like he had no money, and he looked like he loved it.

Why is it that the emperor and those officials in the court have the same face? Is this imitation from above?

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Xiaohou is not here to ask the emperor for money and food." Liu Xian shook his head speechlessly and said, "Xiao Hou thought about it, and felt that Xiao Hou was powerless. So, I thought of a way that might work. But this needs to be approved and supported by the emperor, otherwise, Xiaohou can't do it. ”

"As long as there is a way to solve the problems of these homeless people, I will promise you!"

The emperor was also anxious to throw away this burden now, so he didn't think about anything else at all.
