Chapter 6: "Symposium"

Renming Palace, the Queen Mother's Bedroom, there are twenty-four attendants to serve, which already accounts for one-tenth of the number of people in the entire palace, and the Han Palace is sparsely populated, which can be seen. This is still after entering Bian, Liu Zhiyuan successively recruited some people into the palace to serve.

The Li family is kind and generous, and on weekdays, they are gentle and kind, so the palace people who are waiting are relatively relaxed.

"The official family has arrived!" However, with a high singing, the eunuchs who were originally a little relaxed inside and outside the Renming Hall immediately became nervous, Liu Chengyou is still the king of Zhou, and that stern face can already deter everyone, let alone now that he has become an emperor, he can't be even more sluggish.

Passing the palace people who saluted, Liu Chengyou walked quickly and directly into the hall.

In the hall, the Li family was chatting with Dafu, Gao, and Geng. Three women, Dafu is the queen, and she is from a famous family, and her family is strong; Although the Gao family is also out of Jiangmen, but because of remarriage, he always has to be a head shorter; Geng has followed Liu Chengyou for the longest time, and he is pregnant, and his belly is already round......

However, to the three daughters-in-law, the Li family seemed very fair, and did not show any bias in his words because of his preferences, coupled with the eldest princess Princess Yongning by her side, the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious. However, Liu Chengxun, who was suffering on the side, was bored, but he was much quieter, and the injury of losing his father had not yet eased, and he was not as free as before.

When he heard the report, all the people stood up to greet him, Liu Chengyou only swept around, waved his hand to excuse everyone, and then respectfully greeted the Li family first.

It was almost noon, and the Li family held a small family banquet in the palace and invited Liu Chengyou to come, which was regarded as a temporary relief from his heavy military and political affairs.

"Sister is there too?"

"Official." The Duke of Yongning responded politely.

The eldest princess is very beautiful, she is already a wife and mother, and she exudes a young woman's charm all over her body, and Song Yanwu is very blessed...... The relationship between the sister and brother is actually only limited to blood relationship, and there is no in-depth communication on weekdays.

"During the national funeral, is it inappropriate to be so fishy?" However, looking at the table of "Whole Fish Banquet", Liu Chengyou frowned slightly and looked at the Li family.

"You have been working state affairs these days, and you have lost a lot of weight, so I can make up for it." Li Shi pointed to Liu Chengyou's increasingly distinct face, and said softly: "If anyone in the outer court criticizes, let him come to me!" If your father is to blame, after a hundred years, I will make amends to him personally. ”

Li Shi said this, Liu Chengyou didn't hold it anymore, and went to the banquet together. The fish is a new mandarin fish on the market in this season, the meat is fresh and tender, the taste is delicious, the spines are less and the meat is more, and the fish soup is drunk and the fish is eaten. Don't look at Liu Chengyou's reserved mouth, but his body is very honest and he eats very well.

In order to set an example, he has really lived an ascetic life for a long time. While chewing the fish, Liu Chengyou glanced at the Li family, who personally scooped the soup for Liu Chengxun, and the love on the corner of his mouth touched his heart, and he estimated that this "whole fish banquet" was specially prepared for him.

"In the city of Tokyo, I don't know how many people can taste the delicious taste of mandarin fish......" Stopping the chopsticks, Liu Chengyou sighed.

When these words fell, the living man next to him immediately put pen to paper. This, but the emperor did not forget to worry about the people's performance, which is the sigh of the emperor......

"Jiro."

After the banquet, the Li family called Liu Chengyou to the inner hall alone, and his expression was rare and serious.

"What do you teach?" Liu Chengyou looked at Li and was a little puzzled.

"Early in the morning, Yang Wei entered the palace to greet me." Li said.

Frowning, Liu Chengyou asked, "What did he say?" ”

Li's phoenix eyebrows also frowned slightly, and said, "He intends to resign from the office." ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou's eyes narrowed, and his mind turned slightly, but he was slightly stunned. This Yang Shuxiang, if you want to resign from the official position, ask him directly, and enter the palace to tell the Li family what is going on. You must know that although Liu Chengyou is the young master, this Han world is not the queen mother's eunuch.

Seeing Liu Chengyou meditating there, Li sighed softly and said, "Erlang, I shouldn't have asked about the affairs of the outer court. Although there are some contradictions between you and Yang Xiang, they are not irreconcilable. The state affairs are bumpy, thorns are everywhere, your first heir, the top and bottom have not yet been convinced, at this time, you should stabilize the court situation. Yang Xiang has followed your father for many years, and he has also put a lot of effort into the establishment of the Han Dynasty, if he has a fault, you should be more tolerant, the monarch and the ministers are united, and they will spend the difficulties together......"

Li's is already a bit of a politician, but seeing that her face is full of worry about herself, Liu Chengyou can't feel much unhappiness in her heart. After thinking about it, he saluted him: "Mother's teachings, my son knows!" ”

knows that Liu Chengyou is assertive, not to mention that he is already the emperor now, and he doesn't need to be mentioned. Seeing Liu Chengyou's quiet performance, Li sighed silently in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't say anything more.

"I am busy with government affairs, I have no time to take care of the Renming Palace, serve in front of the Queen Mother, you go to the Renming Palace more often on weekdays, accompany the Queen Mother, and do your filial piety for me!" After leaving the Renming Palace, Liu Chengyou instructed the Empress Fu.

Da Fu was slightly stunned when he heard this, feeling a little strange, but he still responded very gently, and he was happy. Everyone knows that Liu Chengyou's maid is extremely filial, and letting her accompany him to fulfill her filial piety is obviously a move to favor her.

When he returned to the Vertical Arch Palace, Liu Chengyou's expression was actually gloomy.

didn't dare or didn't want to be dissatisfied with the Queen Mother Li, and the unhappiness in his heart could only be transferred to Yang Wei. Since succeeding to the throne, although the time has been short, Liu Chengyou's side has temporarily put down his actions against Yang Wei and wants to make a stable transition.

Before and after ascending the throne, I thought that Yang Wei had been completely suppressed, but I didn't expect that under the deep suppression, this person actually thought about it again, and actually restlessly wanted to involve the Queen Mother. That is, the Li family is rational and righteous, otherwise the queen mother's politics will definitely be a troublesome matter for Liu Chengyou.

It involves filial piety, personality issues, and most importantly, the stability of the court......

The index finger was knocked under the leg, Liu Chengyou locked his eyebrows and pondered, he was hesitating, whether to summon Wang Jingchong.

"Officials, the generals of the forbidden army have arrived!" While thinking about it, the chamberlain came to report.

Hearing the report, Liu Chengyou had to put down his thoughts for the time being, eased his spirit, and ordered: "Xuan! ”

The senior generals of the forbidden army, on the day of their succession, Liu Chengyou met them. This time, it was aimed at the senior officers who commanded all the armies under the Guards Division, Yu Hou, and Xiang Zhi, who were the first-line commanders of the 130,000 Tokyo Forbidden Army.

Dozens of generals of the forbidden army made the vertical arch hall a little crowded, but Liu Chengyou was serious and honest, calling his names one by one.

The people present included the generals of the former Hedong, the generals of the Son of Heaven such as Sun Li and Han Tong, and of course the former "Jin Army" generals. Basically, everyone, Liu Chengyou can be named.

"Sit down!"

After the "roll call", Liu Chengyou took the lead, walked out of the hall, and sat on the ground. Outside the hall, the sun is just right, the spring is bright, and it is much more comfortable than the restraint and depression in the temple. This natural and intimate performance makes the generals feel novel, but it is also inevitable that they will be dyed by their bearing.

At the same time, he ordered someone to serve tea to everyone, and then the first "symposium" between the Han Emperor and the senior generals of the forbidden army was officially held.

"When I first ascended to the pole, I was entangled in everything, and only now have I summoned the generals......"

Basically, Liu Chengyou is talking, in front of the generals, his words are much rarer, recalling the hard work of starting a business, lamenting the difficult situation, encouraging the generals to perform their duties and look forward to the future of the Han Dynasty...... That's basically it. In the face of the training of the Son of Heaven, the general listened very carefully and did not doze off at all.

Then there is a lively conversation, where they express their opinions, express their ideas, and make suggestions. The generals were still a little uncomfortable with this at the beginning, especially when they saw that there were special officials on the side, the big bosses and coarse people kept their mouths shut in amusement, just listening and not talking, so as not to make a fool of themselves.

In the end, this "symposium" evolved into a discussion of the battle against Shu in Guanzhong. In this regard, the interest of the public is obviously stronger.

From noon until midnight, when it ended, the congregation withdrew. For these generals, Liu Chengyou does not expect their loyalty for the time being, which is really unrealistic, but it is still possible to get closer to the relationship for the time being and deepen the impression of Liu Chengyou, the emperor, in their minds.

And among these generals, there are still many talented people, who are wise, brave or fierce. In addition to Liu Ci, Wang Yin, Du Hanhui, there are also Wang Quanbin, Wang Yanchao, Shi Yanchao and others.

In this era, there are really a lot of people named "Yanchao", there is a Murong Yanchao in Yunzhou, and there is a Zhang Yanchao in Yanzhou......

In addition, there is a general named Zhao Hongyin.
