Chapter 181: Yafu is the Phase

As the prime minister of the hundred officials, he wants to resign, whether the Son of Heaven is willing or unwilling in his heart, he still has to keep it on the surface, even when Shen Tujia, who was completely disdainful of the Son of Heaven, wants to resign, the Son of Heaven Liu Qi still has to speak out to save him.

"The prime minister was infected with a vicious disease, how could I not know it, and then I ordered the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the prime minister, why don't the prime minister return to the house to recuperate for a while, and then enter the court to participate in politics after the illness is cured."

Liu Shedang even arched his hand and said: "Thank Your Majesty for your kindness, the minister has sought a doctor to diagnose and treat him, and the doctor has a word, and he must be cultivated for a year and a half before he can be cured."

After speaking, Liu She took out a roll of bamboo from his sleeve and said: "This is the recital of the minister's resignation, please look at it."

Then Wang Yandang stepped forward to take over the music in Liu She's hand and handed it over to Liu Qi, the son of heaven.

After opening this bamboo slip and being silent for a while, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, frowned, sighed and said, "Since this is the case, I will be invited by the prime minister."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"The prime minister was sick due to political work, and I decided to give the prime minister 3,000 gold and 300 silks."

Liu She has been the prime minister for the past few years, but it is much more difficult than Tao Qing to be the prime minister, not to mention his ability to handle government affairs, but Zhou Yafu and Chao Cuo have almost squeezed Liu She into a transparent person.

At this time, if you want to talk about which prime minister of the Han family has the least sense of existence, Liu She thinks that he is second, and no one dares to admit the first. However, he himself is the voice worm of the Son of Heaven Liu Qi, and he can be regarded as the confidant of the Son of Heaven, so he is about to leave the prime minister, and the Son of Heaven Liu Qi naturally wants to give some compensation.

"Thank you for Your Majesty's reward", as soon as he finished speaking, Liu She stepped aside.

In this way, there is a major question in front of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, who will succeed him as prime minister.

The rest of the officials can be temporarily vacant, the prime minister has always been indispensable, most of the government affairs of the court must be handled by the prime minister, if there is no prime minister, the entire center of the court may have to stagnation.

After glancing at the courtiers present, Liu Qiyi, the son of heaven, cleared his throat and said: "Taohou resigned due to illness, and the ministers thought who could succeed him as prime minister."

As soon as the Son of Heaven said this, the courtiers present looked at each other, but none of them said anything.

After a long while, I saw Chao get up and salute the Son of Heaven and say: "The prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, and his majesty should decide it."

However, after being a doctor of imperial history for several years, how could he not want to be the prime minister, but not to mention that he was born in the Legalist family, will the courtiers agree, just because he has no title of candidate, he has been kicked out of the list of candidates for prime minister.

Hearing this, the courtiers in the Xuan Room Hall all said: "Please Your Majesty Holy Judgment!" ”。

Looking at the ministers who worshipped one by one, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, thought for a while before he said: "Then I will make up my mind, Taiwei is willing to be the prime minister!" ”。

Letting Zhou Yafu be the prime minister, this is something that Liu Qi, the son of heaven, has been thinking about for a long time.

Why the Han family has not established a permanent Taiwei since the time of Emperor Wen, it is not because of the responsibility of the Taiwei, but because he is the soldier in charge of the Han family.

Although the transfer of troops must have the Tiger Talisman of the Son of Heaven, the Tai Lieutenant is often in the army, and it is inevitable that he will install some of his own henchmen and subordinates in the army.

It would not be too much if this was to install some people who were convenient for themselves in other yamen.

But if it is in the army, it is very different, no matter which dynasty or generation, the emperor's loyalty requirements for the army are very high, no matter how the situation changes in the court, as long as the military power is still in the hands of the Son of Heaven, then there is still a chance to reshuffle the cards.

Liu Qi, the loyal son of Zhou Yafu, has no doubts at this time, but what will happen to him in the future is something to say.

In this way, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, successively issued an edict to Luan Bu and Han Qidang to be appointed as lieutenants and guards, commanding the northern and southern armies.

Although Luan Bu has a relationship with Zhou Yafu, he is still very loyal to the Son of Heaven, not to mention Han Yandang, who already has a gap with Zhou Yafu............

It was this hand that Emperor Wen used back then, pushing the peach, which looked extremely attractive, the prime minister, in front of Zhou Bo, the marquis of Jiang, who was the prince.

Sure enough, Zhou Bo resolutely relieved himself of his military power and hugged the prime minister's big peach tightly.

But I never thought that now more than 20 years later, Liu Qi, the successor of Emperor Wen, will use this trick on Zhou Bo's son, Zhou Yafu.

The father and son have been prime ministers for two generations, which is unique to the Han family, and Zhou Yafu at this time can't stop being excited.

At this time, I saw Zhou Yafu get up and say: "The minister is just a martial artist, I am afraid that I will not be able to do such an important position as the prime minister."

As soon as Zhou Yafu said this, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, immediately understood what he meant, if he can't be a prime minister, it's not that he can't be a prime minister, but he still wants to be a prime minister in his heart.

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, smiled indifferently: "Why can't you do this, the father of the Marquis was the prime minister of the first emperor back then, and the Marquis can naturally be the prime minister."

After speaking, he said: "After the dynasty is dispersed today, I will issue an edict to make the Marquis the prime minister."

"Thank you, Your Majesty".

In this way, Liu Qi and Zhou Yafu, the Son of Heaven, are willing to fight and suffer to complete the appointment of the prime minister.

However, when the dynasty was dispersed, Liu She walked out of the Xuanshu Palace, only to feel that he was relaxed at this time, as if he had lost a lot of shackles from the past......

asked His Majesty for more than half a year's leave, and at this time Liu She just wanted to return to the mansion as soon as possible and "recuperate" behind closed doors.

Thinking of Xinna's concubine not long ago, Liu She unconsciously accelerated his pace.

Liu Rong walked out of the Xuan room, looking at Liu She, who was walking so fast, it was like a flying walk, Liu Rong Nannan said: "I have been the prime minister for a few years, but it is really bitter Taohou."

However, compared to Liu She, at this time, a large group of people gathered around Zhou Yafu.

In his eyes, since the war of Wu Chu, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, has been very fond of Zhou Yafu, and now he has made him prime minister, which is naturally more favorable.

I didn't see that the Son of Heaven was like this because he was jealous of Zhou Yafu.

In this way, within a few days, the entire Han family county received the edict of the imperial court, and His Majesty dismissed Liu She only in phase and reappointed Zhou Yafu as prime minister.

The change of prime minister in the imperial court still has a very great impact on the local county, and there is no need to think about it, the princes and kings of the county know that Zhou Yafu will definitely be a strong prime minister compared to Liu She.

Especially Liu Wu, the king of Liang, after knowing that Zhou Yafu was appointed prime minister by the Son of Heaven, Liu Wu, who was angry, was furious, and even said: "I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, how can you make the madman Zhou Yafu the prime minister."

After Zhou Yafu took over the position of prime minister, it didn't take long for him to be completely familiar with the prime minister's daily government affairs, so that Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was relieved.

……………………………………………………………………

One day, because there was no political matter, seeing that the weather was so good, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said to Wang Yan: "Pass the edict, I will go to Shanglin Garden to hunt today."

"No! Your Majesty may ask someone to accompany him", Wang Yan saluted.

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said without thinking: "Then let Liu Rong go with me."

"No", after speaking, Wang Yan turned around and left.

Dad wants to go to Shanglin Yuan to hunt by himself, and Liu Rong naturally has to prepare early.

After Wang Yan passed the edict, Liu Rong ordered someone to take his armor and put it on under the service of the palace maid.

Wang Yan stood on Liu Rong's side and said with a smile: "Your Highness is really heroic when he wears this armor."

Hearing this, Liu Rong also smiled, "This is still what my grandfather rewarded me with back then, but I don't want to wear it so well now."

Not long after, Liu Rong went to the outside of Weiyang Palace to wait for his father.

After nearly half an hour, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, drove away, and when he saw the arrival of the Son of Heaven, Liu Rong saluted and said, "The son of the emperor pays homage to his father."

"Haha, Rong'er is exempt, today Rong'er and I will take a car to Shanglin Yuan."

"Father, how can a son, as a courtier, ride in the same car with his father."

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, today there are only fathers and sons, and there are no monarchs and ministers, how can it not be possible for a father to ride in the same car with his son?" ”。

Seeing that he couldn't resist his father, Liu Rong had to salute and said: "Since my father said so, my sons will obey it, and my father will forgive my sins."

Then Liu Rong untied the sword at his waist and handed it to Wang Sheng, and then he also sat on top of the Son of Heaven Luan, and then Liu Rong noticed that his father was the same as himself, and he was also dressed in military uniform.

Looking at Liu Rong who was wearing armor, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, suddenly asked: "Rong'er is wearing armor, how can I feel so familiar."

"Back to my father, this is still the armor that my grandfather gave me back then, and today I want to hunt with my father, so I ordered someone to take it and wear it."

Hearing this, Liu Qicai, the Son of Heaven, said again: "This armor was given by Emperor Gao when he canonized the first emperor as the acting king, and I never saw the first emperor wearing it when I was in the country.

It was not until the first emperor succeeded to the throne that the Xiongnu attacked the border land, and the first emperor personally went to Yuyang to inspect it once, and I thought that this armor should have been buried with the first emperor, but I didn't want to give it to you."

After listening to his father's remarks, Liu Rong knew that the preciousness of this armor was actually a gift from Emperor Gao.

Seeing this, Liu Qi said again: "Since the first emperor gave you this armor, he wants you to use it, and you don't need to take it off."

"Thank you".

After leaving Chang'an City, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said to Liu Rongyan: "Today, Rong'er and I are both dressed in military uniforms, why don't you get off the car and ride a horse?" ”。

In this way, Liu Rong naturally wished, so he said: "The son obeys the order."

After a while, the car stopped aside, and Liu Qi, the son of heaven, got out of the carriage with the support of Liu Rong.

Then he saw two soldiers bring two horses, and Liu Rong personally held his father and ordered him to get on the horse, and then he rode on the horse.

However, although there were stirrups at this time, they were not made of iron, but of copper and wood, and if one was not careful, it would be damaged.

Solid for this, Liu Rong pondered early in the morning, when to go to Shaofu to find a few craftsmen to improve the stirrup, but at this time, the war horse lacked an important thing - horseshoes.

Horseshoe, stirrup, manufacturing is still very simple, but the use is very large, especially the horseshoe, cavalry combat, war horses are naturally heavy, there is a horseshoe can greatly reduce the occurrence of horseshoe injuries.

After arriving at Shanglin Yuan, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, ordered someone to prepare some meals and eat them with Liu Rong.

When the two of them were riding on the war horse, Liu Qi smiled and said: "Some time ago, on the bank of Weishui, I saw that Rong'er's archery skills were really good, and today is the time for you to show your skills."

"Thank your father, but with the slight tricks of his sons, how can he compare with his father."

Afterwards, the two of them each brought a pair of cavalry to hunt in the upper forest garden.

However, when the two were hunting, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, shot an arrow at a deer, and when he was ordering someone to find it, he saw an attendant galloping on a horse.

This attendant rode his horse to the front of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, got off the horse, and hurriedly saluted: "Please also ask Your Majesty to return to Chang'an quickly, the Queen Mother is sick!" ”。

Hearing this, where could Liu Qi, the son of heaven, still take care of the deer that was shot, and even said to a soldier: "Go and inform Liu Rong quickly, and go back to the palace quickly!" ”。

"No!".
