Chapter 151: Withering

In the evening, Liu Chengyou went to Yaohua Hall as promised, and had a meal with the noble concubine and the third son Liu Xi. When the night gets deeper, let the nurse take away Liu Xi, who is a bit of a mother, before she can get the space to do some interesting things between husband and wife with the noble concubine.

Concubine Gao, who is three or four years older than Liu Chengyou, can hold gold bricks, earlier, Liu Chengyou almost regarded her as a sister, and there may be some strange feelings in between. Over the years, as she gets older, the concubine has become more mature and rich, has the habit of practicing martial arts for a long time, and her figure is also the best of the concubines of the Han Palace.

After finishing the work, his head rested on the jade pillow, holding the concubine in his arms, and one hand unconsciously moved between his curvy waist and hips, the touch was very delicate, but his eyes were full of thought.

"What are the officials thinking?" The concubine was a little curious, and exhaled like an orchid.

At this time, Liu Chengyou's heart was a little empty, and his body seemed to be very tired, he heard it, came back to his senses, and looked at the delicate concubine who was still sweating on his forehead, Liu Chengyou replied casually: "I want to visit Gaofu tomorrow and see the woman!" Your mother and son go with you! ”

"Is that true?" Gao Shi seemed to be a little excited, and directly propped himself up.

In that trance, Liu Chengyou only felt that there were white flowers in front of him, which was really big. smiled faintly and responded: "You have no jokes!" ”

Since Liu Chengyou ascended the throne, there are only a few people who are fortunate to have his royal visit, which is very rare, so it is no wonder that the Gao family is so happy.

The next morning, he only brought 100 guards, and did not put on a big guard of honor, and went straight to Gaofu. On the car, Liu Chengyou hugged his third son Liu Xi, teasing, gently pinching his tender face, although he did not cry, but his bitter eyes made Liu Chengyou happy.

In front of the Qing Palace, it was in a hurry, and it could be seen that it was temporarily preparing to meet it. In this regard, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but glance at Gao's family, although this woman was sometimes jealous, but she still seemed to be knowledgeable, and she didn't pretend to be smart, and revealed the matter of his visit to Gaofu in advance.

This time, the three of them were all dressed in regular clothes, and Gao's did not wear heavy makeup, just like ordinary people, taking their wives home to save their relatives.

"Old minister, see Your Majesty!" The middle door was wide open, and Gao Xingzhou and his family worshiped in front of the door.

Gao Xingzhou was riddled with diseases, described as withered, and his old age was visible to the naked eye, this was Emperor Wen, dragging the sick body to meet him, Liu Chengyou immediately waved his hand: "Women, please get up!" ”

As he spoke, he signaled to Zhang Dejun, and his people immediately stepped forward and helped Gao Xingzhou up. Liu Chengyou said: "If the public body is against harmony, there is no need to be bound by these customs!" ”

"Don't waste your courtesy!" As a well-known martial artist, it is rare for Gao Xingzhou to have this awareness. Of course, one foot has stepped into the coffin, and it has long been a matter of knowledge.

Sitting down to serve tea, Gao and Liu Xi paid homage to their fathers and ancestors, and when they saw their father's sick face, Gao was already reborn and sad.

"Not long after I returned to Beijing, everything was complicated, and I learned that the woman was seriously ill, and I had time to take time today, so I came to visit!" Liu Chengyou looked at Gao Xingzhou and said with concern: "Women should take care of their bodies!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! How dare you be! ”

Gao Xingzhou was obviously in a good mood, and his eyes were even more relieved when he looked at his daughter and grandson, and said to Liu Chengyou: "The old minister has been in the army for 50 years, and he has been fighting horses all his life, and he has made a lot of secret wounds. He is even more trusted by His Majesty, and even if he dies, he has no regrets! ”

"Father!" Hearing Gao Xingzhou say this frustrating words, Gao was distressed and couldn't help but shout.

Gao Xingzhou showed a smile between his sick faces, facing Liu Chengyou, although his tone was weak, but he was relieved, and said: "The old minister has experienced ups and downs in troubled times all his life, and he has been surrounded by soldiers all year round, and I don't know why Taiping!" Decades of staggering, drifting with the tide, to the year of the sixtieth year, only to meet the world's heroes, although not at the right time, to get its king, it is enough! ”

"It's a pity, I'm afraid the old minister won't see His Majesty ruling the world and creating a peaceful day!" As he spoke, Gao Xingzhou let out a long sigh.

Hearing his words, removing those flattering words, Liu Chengyou is still a little able to understand Gao Xingzhou's mood, as he said, the word 'Taiping' to him may only exist in books or imagination.

"Women, you should take good care of your body, and you can finally see it with your own eyes on a peaceful day!" Liu Chengyou looked at Gao Xingzhou, as if he had promised, and even more like relieved.

"I hope this remnant can survive until that day!" Gao Xingzhou chuckled.

In the Linqing Palace, Liu Chengyou stayed for nearly an hour, accompanied Gao Xingzhou to talk, today, probably Gao Xingzhou's recent happiest day, Liu Chengyou, the son of heaven, gave him enough respect.

In the afternoon, after leaving the palace and returning to the palace, the concubine, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help it, cried tears, and asked the imperial doctor, with Gao Xingzhou's physical condition, he couldn't survive for half a year, and he couldn't tell when, so he went.

After grabbing the Gao family and providing him with a shoulder, Liu Chengyou sighed heavily with emotion. Under his knees, Xiao Liu Xi watched his mother cry, and he also cried and cried when he didn't know anything.

"That's it!" Caressing the back of the concubine, Liu Chengyou's tone was very gentle.

got up to wipe away his tears, Gao hugged Liu Xi and coaxed him, his beautiful eyes were red.

Liu Chengyou thought about it for a while, and instructed Zhang Dejun: "After returning to the palace, the Privy Council will command Gao Huaide, let him put aside the Longqi military affairs first, return to the house more, serve the decoction, and take care of the king of Linqing!" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Chengyou arranged it like this, basically, he planned to let Gao Huaide end up with Gao Xingzhou's pension.

Before returning to the palace, passing through Nanshi, Liu Chengyou was interested, wanted to go to relax, and wanted to use the fireworks of the people to get rid of the gloom in his heart. In the afternoon, the warm sun is shining in Tokyo, and it is the busiest time.

However, Liu Chengyou did not observe the happiness of the people comfortably, but saw at a glance that the nobles rode horses and ran rampant in the market. Without blinking a few times, Liu Chengyou pointed his finger at the horse and galloped, attracting the teenager above the market and the crowd to avoid it, although he did not hurt anyone, but he was also a chicken.

There are city officials and guards, who are clearly on the side, but there is no one to take care of things. Liu Chengyou pointed his hand and ordered: "Go and ask, which family's children are so flamboyant, they are really high-spirited!" ”

Before he was done, the guards came to report it, and found out that it was Kaifeng Mansion Yin, Murong Yanchao's youngest son, and the imperial prince. Liu Chengyou didn't express his position on this directly, but just asked flatly: "Didn't you say that since the imperial uncle was appointed as the governor of the palace, the security in Tokyo has become better and better?" ”

After returning to the palace, he took a short break, and the general priest said: "Su Yuju, the prince of Juguo, asks to see!" ”

Liu Chengyou was a little curious, this former prime minister, who had long since faded out of the court, suddenly came to see him, what was the so-called. At the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, Su Yuqi and Su Fengji, known as the "Second Su", shared the government and power, and could almost compete with Yang Wei.

It was only later that Su Fengji's case was demoted, and Su Yuqi was not as arbitrary as Su Fengji, knew that it was appropriate to stop, and knew the current affairs, so he expressed his intention to retire to Liu Chengyou early.

Over the years, Su Yuqi has basically stayed in the history museum, taking a cadre of scholars to revise history, being content with the status quo and being insipid.

Of course, under the "bland" appearance, Su Yuqi enjoys wealth and glory. In the short time he was in power, Su Yuqi used his position to earn a lot of property. As far as Wu Desi discovered, the Su family controlled hundreds of hectares of land in the Central Plains, ten manors, and dozens of large and small shops, not to mention other properties.

However, because of his knowledge of current affairs, Liu Chengyou did not kill this "fat sheep", but acquiesced to what he had obtained before. Over the years, the old ministers have been constantly cut off, and Su Yuqi, a literati, can be regarded as Liu Chengyou retaining a "card" of the old ministers to cover his shame.

Su Yujue, who entered the hall, was respectful as usual, perhaps because he was both physically and mentally light, among the many old ministers, Su Yujue aged the slowest, except for the sideburns that added a little gray hair, and four or five years ago, there was no more change.

Liu Chengyou asked: "How can Duke Ju have the leisure to come to Chongzheng Palace?" ”

Facing the inquiry of the Son of Heaven, Su Yuqi looked sad and said to Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty, just in Fangcai, Jia Wei, a scholar of Jixian Palace, died of illness in the History Museum. ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou paused. Jia Wei is the first person to remember history in the current Han Dynasty, a writer, and is famous in the Manchu Dynasty. Over the years, Liu Chengyou ordered people to revise history and write books, most of which had Jia Wei involved.

"Jia Gong's stroke, the book is all over the Spring and Autumn Period, he is gone, and the Han Dynasty is one less historical talent!" Liu Chengyou was excited, and there was a little sentimentality in his tone: "Pass the edict, posthumously present Jia Wei to the servant, and give a thick burial!" ”

"Yes!"

After visiting Gao Xingzhou, who was seriously ill in the morning, and heard about Jia Wei's death in the afternoon, Liu Chengyou felt very bad in his heart, this time, he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Old minister, gradually withering, what am I doing!" ”

Jia Wei is not very popular in the Han court, and his temper is hard and his mouth is unforgiving. But this sudden death still caused a lot of memories, especially for literary and historical officials. In particular, his wife heard the bad news at home and died in mourning, and the old couple went to Huangquan together, and everyone who heard it sighed.
