Luoyang Imperial Palace, naked swimming pool.

"Your Majesty, come and have fun......" Liu Hong, whose tender voice was teasing, was about to move, but Liu Hong was too tired.

Liu Hong was supported by the little eunuchs, and staggered forward step by step, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

Liu Hong had just walked out of the naked swimming hall, and was blown by the light wind, but he was a little sober.

"Your Majesty, Taifu Yuan Kui asks to see you." A palace person reports.

Liu Hong can not take others seriously, the face of the third prince still has to be given, not to mention that Yuan Kui is one of the most important members of the Yuan family.

Liu Hong said weakly, "Xuan is waiting for me in Weiyang Palace." ”

"No." The palace people took the order and left.

Weiyang Palace.

"Minister Yuan Kui knocks to see Your Majesty." Yuan Kui saluted respectfully.

"Aiqing is flat," Liu Hong said, "What is the so-called matter when Aiqing came late at night?" ”

"Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to be the master of Weichen." Yuan Kui said with tears in his eyes.

"Oh?" Liu Hong was very surprised, thinking that there was still something that your Yuan family was unhappy about, so he said, "Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, I am the master for you." ”

Yuan Kui said with a pitiful expression, "Weichen's two cousins, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, have stayed in Yanmen forever. ”

"Highway has a very good relationship with those two boys, and when I heard the news of these two boys' deaths, I washed my face with tears all day long."

"Is Aiqing serious?" Liu Hong couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said, "Zhao Gou and Qin Hui are the councilors appointed by me personally, and they also went to Yanmen with my mission. ”

"Could it be that the Yanmen guards are so bold? I couldn't believe it. ”

Yuan Kui said, "Your Majesty, the minister's guess should not be wrong. ”

"Think about it, how long have these two unsuccessful boys been sent out?"

"You sent it out in mid-March, and it's late June."

"The ministers have dragged it out a bit, counting forty days to Yanmen, and now that they have been sent out for one hundred and three days, doesn't Your Majesty feel suspicious?"

"......" Liu Hong frowned and said, "Yuan Aiqing, these three watches, you will come to talk to me about this?" ”

Yuan Kui was not afraid, and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy you sent to the Yanmen region has never returned for more than ninety days. ”

"And Zhao Gou and Qin Hui are my Yuan's sons and nephews, and they haven't returned for a hundred days, so I can't see the situation clearly, I can't feel at ease."

"In the past ten days, the minister has been worried every day, and he also dreamed that Qin Huituo dreamed that I would avenge them, saying that it was Ren Yi, the cavalry captain under the command of the Assassin of Bingzhou, who killed him and Zhao Gou."

"Zhao Tingwei and General Qin have also been restless these days, so they asked their ministers to come to Your Majesty, and asked Your Majesty to make decisions for your ministers."

Liu Hong raised his eyebrows and said, "I know, you can go down." ”

"No, Your Majesty." Yuan Kui bowed his hand and retreated.

"Humph!" Liu Hong snorted heavily, "Find my father and mother for me." ”

Liu Hong gave an order, and his own little eunuch went to pass the order.

After a while, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong trotted to Weiyang Palace.

"Your Majesty," Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang saluted, "Why did you call the two old slaves to come late at night?" ”

"Zhang Rang, look at the good candidates you recommended to me!" Liu Hong patted the table and said, "This is bold, my people dare to slaughter, is there still an emperor in his eyes!" ”

Zhang Rang was slightly stunned and said, "Why did Your Majesty say this?" ”

Liu Hong directly pushed the impeachment note written by Yuan Kui in front of Zhang Rang and said, "Take a look for yourself." ”

Zhang Rang unfolded the recital, which read: Your Majesty, my nephews Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, who left Luoyang on the third day of the first month of March, have not returned for one hundred and three days.

As far as the old minister knows, there has not been a person who has not returned from Yanmen for more than 80 days, so most of my nephews were killed in Yanmen.

It can be seen that the guards of Yanmen looked at the wolf and despised the imperial court, and implored His Majesty to bring the murderer to justice in order to comfort the souls of the deceased in the sky.

After reading it, Zhang Rang also frowned.

It is true that Zhang Rang is a powerful eunuch in the world, and it is not false that the eunuchs and Qingliu are constantly in dispute.

However, unlike the Qingliu Party, the eunuch party, the vast majority of which are loyal to the imperial power.

You don't see, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian, who was 9,000 years old, leaned towards the government and the opposition, and Chongzhen said that if he didn't take it, he would take it.

Chongzhen's level of power and skill is honestly incomparably stinky. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, so many generals, Liu Ting, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Liangyu, Yuan Chonghuan, including Wu Sangui (this person is shameful, but forgivable, the crime is unforgivable, and there is still an essential difference between Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanme, and Qian Qianyi), he did not make good use of any of them.

Chongzhen is not very good except for his bones, but in terms of means, he is actually not very good.

is just such a person, nine thousand years old said that he would be brought down, if you want to say that Wei Zhongxian does not have the slightest loyalty to Chongzhen, don't even think about it.

And Qingliu is different. There were many emperors in the Ming Dynasty who fell into the water and died, and they died very strangely.

They had to die, especially Emperor Zhengde, if there were no people who claimed to be clear streams who were secretly making trouble, it would have been impossible.

Zhang Rang said, "This Yanmen guard, isn't it Mu Li?" Let's think about it, this Mu Li shouldn't have such courage. ”

"Father, you're wrong," Liu Hong said, "Mully was killed nearly five months ago. ”

"It's just that I couldn't imagine that this kid who hasn't been crowned at this age would be so ruthless, and he simply doesn't take me seriously."

"Your Majesty," Zhang Rang said, "do you mean, the uncrowned boy recommended by the Zhang family in Nanyang?" ”

"This is the person," Liu Hong said, "in fact, I should have thought of it as early as the first time he met me." ”

"At that time, he wanted to be a marching horseman, and I awarded him the post of cavalry captain, but this son also pushed back on the grounds of lack of ability."

"Come to think of it, I'm afraid this son already had a heart of disobedience at that time, but I didn't see it at the time."

When Zhang Rang heard this, his eyes rolled a few times, and he said, "What a treacherous boy, he will play our family around." ”

"At that time, when this son asked our family for an official, he insisted on serving in the border army, and he also called it defending the border pass."

"I think the real purpose of this son is to firmly reorganize the border army into his own troops, and then avoid fighting with those old foxes above the court."

"I thought that kid was a loyal man, but now it seems that this kid is not only better than those old foxes, but also acts ruthlessly."

"If this son is not removed, it will become a great trouble in the future."

Liu Hong rubbed his somewhat swollen head and said, "Father, mother, is there a good way to deal with this bureaucracy?" ”

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong looked at each other for a while, and neither of them came up with a foolproof solution.

After a while, Zhao Zhong said tentatively, "Do you want to send Ding Yuanzhi and the state wolf rider to do it."

Drop this kid? ”

Liu Hong said, "This matter is inappropriate. This son is hateful, but this son also contributed to the defense of Yanmen Pass. ”

"If Ding Yuan and this person fight each other, and both suffer heavy casualties, the alien race will take advantage of the weakness."

"This will only do things that benefit the barbarians, and I will not agree to it."

Liu Hong couldn't think of any good way to see the two of them for a while, so he said, "Forget it, I will send another eunuch to appease this son with a threatening belt, and see what this son means." ”

"I want to see if this Yanmen guard is a complete thief."

"You all go down, I'll be quiet alone."

The leader spoke, and Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang came out.

After everyone left, Liu Hong came to the naked swimming hall again.

This time, Liu Hong did not let any palace maid go into the water, but silently took off his dragon robe and plunged into the water.

"Ding Jianyang has gone a little too far," Liu Hong thought, "The marquis of this kid, the money, food, and soldiers are all greedy, it's strange if this kid doesn't jump like thunder!" He is not a humble gentleman like Kong Wenju. ”

"But you kid, you're slapping me in the face, you're slapping the big man in the face!"

"The king is the minister, the father is the son, the husband is the wife, have your parents taught you!"

"I, I......"

The more Liu Hong thought about it, the more angry he became.

Since he inherited the throne, no one has dared to be so blatant not to give him face.

Even if it is the old foxes of the family above the court, at most they are just yang and yin.

And he was ruthlessly slapped and trampled on by a grassroots person, Liu Hong was not only angry, but also mad.

Liu Hong wanted to scold, and there were 10,000 sentences of his mother to say.

But Liu Hong first grew up in the people, and later entered the palace to learn etiquette, and those Zu'an words have long been forgotten.

Liu Hong scolded unhappily, and there was a knot in his heart.

The more Liu Hong thought about it, the more angry he became, and his face became more and more pale.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Liu Hong coughed violently and coughed up blood.

Liu Hongde's health was not good, and he was stimulated by Ren Yi like this, and he was originally a little old and sick in his heart, but now it has been directly aggravated.

"Your Majesty!" There were already a few palace maids with sharp eyes who came up to support Liu Hong.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" One of the pink and tender soft girls said softly.

"I'm fine," Liu Hong said with difficulty, "I'm just angry with those rebellious ministers and thieves, so you can help me go to Queen He's place to sleep." ”

When a few soft girls heard this, they didn't say anything more, and gently helped Liu Hong back to the Jiaofang Hall to sleep.

"Your Majesty, why is your face so bad!" Empress He hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Are you not taking good care of it?" If yes, wait for a small bottle bar for one person! ”

"The queen mother spares her life!" The palace ladies begged for mercy.

The He Niangniang in front of her is a ruthless person who does what she says. Back then, Queen Wang and her favorites were not poisoned, Liu Hong didn't even let out a fart.

"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown, and the warriors of Ann are guarding the Quartet............" Liu Hong sang slowly and inarticulately, his eyes blank.

"Emperor Gaozu, Hong is incompetent, Hong has been bullied by thieves. Please ask Grandpa Gao to manifest his spirit to help Hong get rid of the traitors and restore the Han Dynasty! Liu Hong muttered frantically.
