As a counselor, Wang Yuan was not afraid of offending the Son of Heaven, nor was he afraid that other ministers would look at him in strange eyes, and the more others looked at him with frightened eyes, the more excited and proud he felt.

Throughout the ages, there have been many speech officials like Wang Yuan, especially in the Ming Dynasty, and the speech officials have brought the spirit of being dead and not afraid of death to the extreme.

Liu Xiu originally planned to celebrate Liu Yang's full week with a state banquet, but Wang Yuan's omen of the country's death dispelled Liu Xiu's thoughts, and he was very unhappy, but he couldn't do anything about Wang Yuan.

The duty of the counselor is to admonish the virtue of the Son of Heaven, and Liu Xiu can't dismiss Wang Yuan because of this trivial matter.

He looked around at the ministers in the hall and asked, "Do you have anything to do?" ”

The ministers present lowered their heads one by one, and no one spoke.

Seeing that no one started, Liu Xiu was about to retreat, and found that Deng Yu was still standing in the center of the main hall, not returning to his position, he asked ungroundedly: "General Right, but there is something to start?" ”

Deng Yu's eyes were dim, sometimes he looked at Wu Han, and sometimes he looked at Cho Period, his brows furrowed.

Before going to the court, Dong Xuan deliberately found him and told him about the situation last night, and finally Dong Xuan came to the conclusion that Da Sima and Wei Wei ambushed their subordinates in the alley near Chunfeng Pavilion, and then invited Zhou Fang to Chunfeng Pavilion for dinner, and the purpose of the two of them was probably to attack Zhou Fang.

The county government didn't dare to take care of this matter, and he couldn't manage it, so he could only report the matter to Deng Yu, and Deng Yu would decide.

After listening to Dong Xuan's account, Deng Yu was furious, and Wu Han and Choshi were too bold to assassinate Zhou Fang, the envoy of Kui Huan, in private, isn't this intended to provoke a war between the two sides?

Your Majesty has made it clear that now is not a good time to start, and that you should rest and recuperate.

Deng Yu originally planned to talk about this matter in the court, but now seeing that Liu Xiu is in a bad mood, if he reports this matter again, I am afraid that the matter will be big and difficult to end in the end.

In just such a moment, Deng Yu has flashed countless ideas in his heart and weighed countless pros and cons.

Seeing that he stood in place for a long time without speaking, Liu Xiu raised his voice and asked again: "General Right has something to do?" ”

Deng Yu finally came back to his senses, he lifted the wat board to Liu Xiu, and said, "Minister, there is nothing to do!" ”

As he spoke, he bowed down and retreated to his roots.

Liu Xiu glanced at Deng Yu and waved his hand.

Zhang Kun sang loudly beside him: "Retreat from the dynasty-" Out of the palace, Liu Xiu went to the West Palace.

On the way, Zhang Kun said indignantly: "Your Majesty, this time Doctor Wang is too much, Your Majesty just wants to open a banquet for the four princes, and Doctor Wang actually mentioned the omen of the death of the country, which is really alarmist." ”

After speaking, seeing Liu Xiu with his hands behind his back, he continued to walk forward with his head down, without saying a word, Zhang Kun looked at Luo You on the other side, who was learning from Liu Xiu's example, bowing his head, frowning, and striding forward.

In Luo You's mind, the Son of Heaven is the supreme existence, only the Son of Heaven speaks, and people obey orders, where does anyone dare to be so disrespectful and disrespectful in front of the Son of Heaven?

But in fact, there were still people who dared to do this, and what surprised her even more was that the Son of Heaven actually endured it, and not only did he not blame or punish the bold Wang Yuan, but he didn't even say a word of reprimand, and finally according to Wang Yuan's opinion, he didn't hold a state banquet.

This incident gave Luo You a new understanding of Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu was praised by the people as a generation of Ming Jun, which is really not in vain.

Zhang Kun continued: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of slaves and maids, you should take this opportunity to convict Wang Yuan and send him home, so as to save him from being an eyesore in the court." ”

Liu Xiu suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Zhang Kun, and asked, "Eunuchs may interfere in politics?" ”

His words scared Zhang Kun out of a cold sweat, and without saying a word, he hurriedly knelt on his knees, slapped the two of them, and said with a crying voice: "The slave knows her mistake!" The slave knows her mistake! ”

Liu Xiu was already in an unhappy mood, and Zhang Kun was still nagging endlessly, and he was even more bored in his heart.

He paced back and forth in front of Zhang Kun with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Punishment?

What sin can I cure him?

Cure the doctor's sin of disrespect to the Son of Heaven? ”

Isn't that a joke?

The duty of the counselor is to spur the Son of Heaven, which of his words can make the Son of Heaven feel pleasing to the ear?

If you just pick up the words that the Son of Heaven likes to listen to, then you are not a counselor or an official.

"The slave knows her mistake! The slave knows her mistake! ”

Zhang Kun kowtowed again and again.

Liu Xiu glanced at him and said, "Get up!" ”

After speaking, he continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back.

After walking for a while, he stopped again and looked back at Luo You.

Seeing Liu Xiu's gaze sweeping towards him, Luo You, who was also holding his hands behind his back, immediately put down his two little hands.

"Little girl, are you deliberately learning from me?"

Liu Xiu raised her eyebrows and asked.

"The servant doesn't dare."

Luo Youbi respectfully blessed himself.

"Humph!"

Liu Xiu snorted and continued to walk forward.

After taking a few steps, Liu Xiu suddenly thought of something, stopped again, turned his head, and was about to speak, when he found that Luo You was sticking out his tongue towards him.

Maybe he turned around too quickly, Luo You's face was surprised and stupid, and the little pink tongue that spit out didn't have time to take it back, Liu Xiu glared, raised his hand to Luo You, and said, "You ......" As soon as he said the word 'you', an attendant walked over quickly and said, "Your Majesty, General Right asks to see you." ”

Liu Xiu nodded Luo You, then raised his hand, looked at the attendant who came to report the news, and asked, "What's the matter with Zhonghua?" ”

"The right general didn't say!"

"Please come to the West Palace to see me."

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

After the waiter left, Liu Xiu also forgot about Luo You's disrespect just now and walked towards the West Palace.

When he arrived at the West Palace and walked into the main hall, Liu Xiu sat on the couch with his buttocks.

Yin Lihua asked puzzledly, "Your Majesty seems to be in a bad mood?" ”

Liu Xiu hummed, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.

Yin Lihua turned her head to look at Zhang Kun.

The latter whispered: "Today, Your Majesty proposed to open a state banquet in the court to celebrate the full week of the four princes, but some ministers strongly objected, and Your Majesty had no choice but to give up. ”

"I see."

After hearing this, Yin Lihua couldn't help laughing, walked to Liu Xiu's side, knelt down, gently pinched Liu Xiu's shoulder, and said, "Your Majesty is only worried about this little thing?" ”

Liu Xiu said: "Yang'er is full of Zhou, is it a trivial matter? ”

Yin Lihua smiled and said: "In the past, when Fu'er and Kang'er were full of Zhou, Your Majesty set up a family banquet, but Yang'er was full of Zhou, but Your Majesty wanted to set up a state banquet, which is indeed a bit inappropriate. ”

Liu Xiu looked at Yin Lihua and said meaningfully: "It's not easy for Lihua to give birth to Yang'er!" ”

After several twists and turns during the period, it is precisely like this that Liu Xiu cherishes Liu Yang more and more.

Yin Lihua said movingly: "Your Majesty can pamper Yang'er in your heart, of course Lihua is very happy, but if Your Majesty favors one over the other, Lihua will not be happy." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiu smiled helplessly, raised his hand to stroke Yin Lihua's cheek, and said, "Lihua is always so considerate and takes care of the overall situation. ”

While the two of them were talking, an attendant walked in from outside and whispered, "Your Majesty, your honor, General Right has arrived outside the gate of the West Palace." ”

"Yes, please."

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Waiting for the chamberlain to go out, Yin Lihua asked puzzledly, "Why did Zhonghua come to the West Palace?" ”

The West Palace is the dormitory of Concubine Bin, and Deng Yu is a foreign minister, and foreign ministers should not come here.

It's just that Deng Yu has a special identity, and he is an old friend and friend with Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua, and Liu Xiu doesn't have so much avoidance of Deng Yu and Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu said: "Zhonghua has something to see, I don't want him to wait for me in the Qingliang Palace, so I asked him to come to the West Palace." ”

Yin Lihua sighed, and said with a smile: "The concubine may not have seen Zhonghua for a long time. ”

It didn't take long for Deng Yu to walk in from outside.

He bowed to Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua and said, "Weichen greets Your Majesty, Yin noble!" ”

Liu Xiu waved her hand, and Yin Lihua said with a smile: "Zhonghua doesn't have to be polite. ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Deng Yu straightened up, and under Liu Xiu's signal, he knelt down and sat down on the side.

Hongjian stepped forward, poured a cup of tea for Deng Yu, and said softly: "General Right, please use tea." ”

Deng Yu smiled at the red note and said, "Thank you, the red note girl." ”

He turned his eyes to look at Liu Xiu, and seeing that his face had eased a lot, Deng Yu asked with a smile, "Your Majesty is no longer angry?" ”

Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm not so stingy, what's more, what Dr. Wang said is also reasonable, if even the Son of Heaven can't lead by example, how can he convince people?"

How to govern the peoples? ”

His words sounded more like angry words, Deng Yule said hehehe: "Your Majesty can think like this, it's very good!" Your Majesty has such a heart, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and the people of the world, fortunately! ”

Deng Yu's compliments made Liu Xiu feel a lot more comfortable all of a sudden.

No matter how wise Liu Xiu is, he is a human being after all, and he is still a young man, and of course he likes to listen to pleasant compliments.

He said: "Zhonghua, I think so, since Fu Situ, Song Sikong, and Dr. Wang are all opposed to me opening a state banquet, then, when Yang'er is full of Zhou, I will not invite them, but only invite you old brothers to the banquet, what do you think?" ”

Deng Yu burst out laughing and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this still a state banquet?" ”

"How can this be a state banquet! You and I have laid down this Han family together, living and dying together, advancing and retreating together, like brothers and sisters, like brothers, so this is a family banquet, not a state banquet. ”

After Liu Xiu finished speaking, he thought about it seriously, nodded with great certainty, and said, "That's right!" It's a family feast! ”

Liu Xiu's words made Deng Yu feel angry and funny, and his heart was also full of emotion.

He arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty does not forget the old feelings, it is a blessing for the ministers!" ”

"Alright, that's it."

After a pause, Liu Xiu asked curiously, "Zhonghua came to see me just for Yang'er's full week?" ”

Hearing him ask, Deng Yu finally remembered what he was doing.

He looked at Liu Xiu and asked, "How is Your Majesty feeling now?" ”

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "When I talk to Zhonghua, my mood is much better." ”

"Then Weichen will rest assured!"

Deng Yu nodded and said.

Liu Xiu blinked and asked, "Bad news?" ”

Deng Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Wu Gonghe wants to assassinate Zhou Fang. ”

"What?"

After Liu Xiu heard this, he almost couldn't believe his ears.

Wu Han and Choshi want to assassinate Zhou Fang?

Are the two of them crazy?

Who gave orders to the two of them, and who gave them so much courage?

"Is that true?"

"Last night, the second situation asked Zhou Fang to go to the Chunfeng Pavilion for dinner, and Wu Gong and the subordinates of the second situation were ambushed near the Chunfeng Pavilion, if it weren't for the county soldiers who arrived in time, mistook them for assassins, and arrested them back to the county government, I'm afraid, Zhou Fang would have died in the Spring Breeze Pavilion last night!"

"Ziyan and the second situation are so bold!"

Liu Xiu was so angry that he stood up, pacing back and forth in the main hall, and said in a deep voice: "Did I let the two of them kill Zhou Fang?"

If you want to stab the messenger privately, the two of them have really eaten the bear's heart and leopard's guts! The two of them are so sure, after killing Zhou Fang, can I not blame them? ”

Well! You can! Deng Yu looked very dignified on the surface, but he nodded again and again in his heart.

When Wu Han slaughtered the city in Xinye, you didn't punish him! Now if you want to kill an insignificant Zhou Fang, it's no wonder you can punish him!
