Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

In order to recruit Fu Zhan under his command, Liu Xiu decided to go to Pingyuan County in person. However, when the Son of Heaven left Beijing, the movement was too big, and the news couldn't be covered up if he wanted to, so Liu Xiu needed a suitable reason to leave Beijing.

The scourge of thieves in Hanoi just gave Liu Xiu this opportunity.

After making a decision, Liu Xiu's heart was a lot easier, and after Hua Feiyan left, he went to Yin Lihua's West Palace. After seeing Yin Lihua, Liu Xiu didn't care about the face of his son of heaven, and apologized to Yin Lihua first.

"Last night, Shengtong's stomach has been hurting badly, I was going to accompany her for a while, but who knew that the wine came up, and I fell asleep in Ah Ge in a daze." Liu Xiu said apologetically.

Yin Lihua was very generous, and did not blame Liu Xiu, and said: "Sister Guo is pregnant with Liujia, and now, Ah Xiu should take Sister Guo first." Hearing this, Liu Xiu was even more reluctant in his heart, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The problem of thieves in Hanoi is becoming more and more serious, and the local governance is very unfavorable. Lihua is willing to be one with me

Going? ”

Even if Yin Lihua is now in Luoyang and lives in the palace with herself, there are too many things in the palace, and the time that Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua can be alone is very limited.

This time he went to Huaixian, but he felt that he could walk with Yin Lihua, and by the way, he would enhance the relationship between husband and wife.

Yin Lihua asked in surprise and joy, "Can I go with Ah Xiu?" ”

"Absolutely." Liu Xiu said with a smile: "In the past, when I led the army to the battle, Shengtong also traveled with the army......

Speaking of this, Liu Xiu felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously looked at Yin Lihua, and saw that she did not show displeasure, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can walk with Your Majesty, and the concubines are naturally willing!" Yin Li said beautifully.

Seeing Yin Lihua revealing the shy posture of a little woman, Liu Xiu laughed and reached out to pull Yin Lihua into her arms.

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Xiu summoned the three princes and nine kings to the palace to discuss government affairs.

Because it is not a formal court meeting, the venue of the meeting is located in the Qingliang Palace, so that everyone can be more casual.

After Wu Han, Wang Liang, Jia Fu, Li Tong, Zhu Kun and others arrived, Liu Xiu made his decision.

He said: "The thieves in Hanoi have risen again, Xiuwu and Huojia have been attacked by the thief army, and the autumn grain has suffered heavy losses. ”

Everyone looked at each other, Wang Liang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of exterminating thieves can be handed over to a virtuous minister to lead the troops, so why should Your Majesty go in person?" ”

Wu Han answered: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to lead the troops to destroy the thieves!" Liu Xiu waved his hand and said: "The world is undecided, the thieves are not settled, the internal and external troubles are unsettled, I am in Luoyang, like sitting on pins and needles." But some officials, thinking that after I became emperor, the great cause had been accomplished, and the overall situation had been decided, and they gradually neglected the matter of thieves, this time

, I went to Hanoi in person to let the hundred officials understand that the trouble of the thief army is a matter of life and death, and it is the top priority, and we must not leave anything to chance and negligence! ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded one after another, what Liu Xiu said was not unreasonable.

Since Liu Xiu became emperor and set the capital in Luoyang, officials everywhere have indeed been in an extremely optimistic mood, and they have been more or less negligent about the thieves in their jurisdiction.

Li Tong took the lead in complying: "Your Majesty can go to Hanoi to kill the thieves in person, which is enough to be vigilant against hundreds of officials, Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "During my departure from Beijing, I can ask the monarch for government affairs. ”

When Wang Liang heard this, he immediately bowed to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu continued: "You can ask Ziyan about military affairs. ”

Wu Han then bowed to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu's words changed sharply, and he suddenly asked: "Now that there is no queen in the country, I don't know who the monarchs think, who should sit in the back seat?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the Qingliang Hall suddenly fell silent. Whether it is Wu Han, Wang Liang, or Jia Fu and Li Tong, they all lowered their heads. None of them, Liu Xiu's henchmen, dared to speak lightly about the posterior, and Zhu Kun didn't dare to squeak.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu looked up and smiled, waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be nervous, I just ask casually, and everyone can talk about it casually, I just want to hear what you think in your hearts." ”

Li Tong cleared his throat and said: "Although Your Majesty has a second wife, Weichen thinks that Mrs. Lihua is married to Your Majesty first, and the young and old are orderly, and this later position should be Mrs. Lihua!" ”

Liu Xiu's face was serious, and he also showed a look of careful listening and analysis of what Li Tong said, and when Li Tong finished speaking, he nodded thoughtfully.

Before he could speak, Wu Han said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Guo Guiren should be the queen. ”

"What does Ziyan think?"

"Your Majesty's unification of Hebei, of course, is Your Majesty's wisdom, but in the meantime, Guo Guiren has also been fighting with His Majesty in the south and the north, which has laid the foundation for the credit, Guo Guiren has made great contributions, and now Your Majesty wants to establish the future, it should be the first choice Guo Guiren."

Wu Han's opinion basically represents the general opinion of the military. As far as the military officers and soldiers are concerned, they are more convinced and respect Guo Shengtong. First of all, Liu Xiujun was established on the basis of the Zhending Army to a large extent, although the 100,000 Zhending Army has long been scattered in various departments, but the influence is still there, and their opinions also directly affect the opinions of the colleagues around them, so in the army, Guo Shengtong has a huge 'mass base', which is far beyond Yin Lihua. Secondly, during Liu Xiu's expedition to Hebei, he has been with the army, has always been by Liu Xiu's side, and has always been a person who has shared weal and woe with the officers and soldiers in the army, no

It is Yin Lihua, but Guo Shengtong, and the soldiers admire and admire the lord's Mrs. Guo from the bottom of their hearts.

Now that Liu Xiu is about to stand up, the military forces represented by Wu Han will definitely unswervingly support Guo Shengtong.

Hearing Wu Han's attitude, Liu Xiu's heart sank, and Wu Han's statement was to a large extent a representation of the statements of the officers and men of the whole army.

After the establishment of this matter, it seems to be the family affairs of the Son of Heaven, but in fact it is a state matter. If the choice of empress does not have the support of the majority of the people, resulting in a situation of detachment, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Wang Liang continued: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks Ziyan is reasonable. Guo Guiren fought with His Majesty, even if there was no merit, there was hard work, which everyone saw in their eyes and remembered in their hearts. ”

But what about Yin Lihua? What credit does she have, and what hard does she have? When His Majesty was fighting in the south and north of Hebei, she could always enjoy the blessings of Nanyang, and the meritorious wife could not be the queen, but let the meritorious lady be the queen, which was difficult to convince the public.

Liu Xiu's eyes drooped, and the tips of his fingers gently tapped on the table for a while. After being silent for a while, he asked, "What does Changshu mean?" ”

Zhu Kun heard Liu Xiu suddenly ask his head, he grinned secretly, if it was okay to pretend to be unconscious, he would rather faint on the spot.

This matter is too sensitive, just like the crown prince, not something that outsiders can participate in. What's more, he, an outsider, is still an outsider who has had a holiday with the Son of Heaven.

He swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "It is a matter of His Majesty's family to stand up, Weichen...... Weichen thinks that this matter should be decided by His Majesty himself! When Wu Han and Wang Liang heard this, they invariably glanced at him. Wang Liang sneered and said loudly: "As a minister, you should be outspoken, even if you are a direct admonition, you are not ashamed of your heart, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, it is better to tell the old man and return to his hometown as soon as possible!" "Yes

As for Zhu Kun, who shrank his head and tail on key issues, Wang Liang was obviously very dissatisfied.

He looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, Guo Guiren is now pregnant with Liujia, just because Guo Guiren is pregnant with His Majesty's first child, he should also be the queen!" ”

To be honest, in the matter of Lihou, Liu Xiu didn't expect the attitude of Wu Han, Wang Liang and others to be so resolute, and he was a little depressed and unhappy in his heart.

Then, Liu Xiu found another topic and brought the matter of the future, but did not continue to talk about this topic. After the meeting, Liu Xiu left Li Tong and Zhu You, and the three of them chatted while drinking.

After a few glasses of wine, Liu Xiu told him that he planned to establish Yin Lihua, but was opposed by the ministers.

Zhu You looked dazed, blinked his eyes, and said, "After Your Majesty is established, isn't this Your Majesty's business?" Why ask the ministers for their opinions? ”

Liu Xiu smiled bitterly, and Li Tong shook his head again and again, and said meaningfully: "The matter of the establishment of the future is related to the establishment of the prince, where is this Your Majesty's family affairs, this is a state affair!" ”

Yin Lihua is the queen, then the son she gave birth to is the prince, Guo Shengtong is the queen, the situation is the same, Guo Shengtong's son will be the prince.

If it is said that whoever is the queen has little direct relationship with the ministers, then whoever is the prince has a great relationship with the ministers.

Ministers like Wu Han and Wang Liang are naturally more familiar with Guo Shengtong, and Guo Shengtong is indeed very good at being a person and is very popular, Yin Lihua has too much disadvantage compared with Guo Shengtong.

After listening to Li Tong's analysis, Zhu You finally figured out the twists and turns.

He scratched his hair, picked up the wine glass, and said, "It turns out that there are so many things in it, this is indeed enough to worry His Majesty, now, we still have a bar!" ”

Liu Xiule picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Li Tong put down the cup and said, "If Guo Guiren can give birth to a dragon seed for His Majesty this time, then it will be difficult for His Majesty to change what happened in the future." ”

As long as Guo Shengtong gives birth to a boy, then the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China for Guo Shengtong will be higher, and the resistance of Liu Xiu will be greater after he wants to establish Yin Lihua.

Liu Xiu shrugged helplessly, he was indeed inclined to establish Yin Lihua as the queen, but it was impossible for him to beat the child in Guo Shengtong's belly because he was more inclined to Yin Lihua, after all, it was his own flesh and blood.

The three of them were drinking wine and talking in the Qingliang Palace, and in the West Palace on the other side, Yin Lihua was sitting in the main hall embroidering a handkerchief, and her personal maid Xue Ying walked in from outside and whispered: "Madam, Miss Xu asks to see." ”

Miss Xu that Xue Ying said was Xu Xiling.

At present, Xu Xiling is acting as the court commander in the palace. Generally speaking, the court order is held by eunuchs, but the number of eunuchs in the palace is not much, and Xu Xiling is an idler, Guo Shengtong recommended it to Liu Xiu and made an exception

Xu Xiling came to take charge of the court order for the time being.

Yin Lihua was stunned for a moment, put down the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and said, "Please!" ”

After a short time, Xu Xiling walked in from outside.

During last night's banquet, Yin Lihua didn't see Xu Xiling at all, and the people attending the meeting were all relatives of the emperor and the country, or the women of the imperial court, female officials like Ye Tingling, with the specifications of last night's banquet, there was no place for her.

After Xu Xiling came in, without waiting for Yin Lihua to speak, she first bowed down and said, "Xiling has seen Madame!" ”

Yin Lihua's impression of Xu Xiling is average, first, Xu Xiling is too charming, and second, she can feel it, Xu Xiling has a bad idea of her husband, how can she have a good impression of a woman who covets her husband?

But right now, in this huge palace, Yin Lihua really doesn't know many people, and Xu Xiling is one of the few.

She stood up, walked over, held Xu Xiling's arm, and said with a smile: "Xiling doesn't need to be polite. ”

"Madame entered the palace yesterday, Xiling was busy with affairs, and she couldn't come to visit, Madame didn't get angry with Xiling, right?" Xu Xiling said with some embarrassment.

Yin Lihua was happy and said, "Xiling is too polite and too outward to say this. After a pause, she asked again: "Xiling is the same as non-smoke, and she has been sealed as a beauty?" She really didn't know what Xu Xiling's identity was in the palace now, so she asked this question, but as everyone knows, this question directly asked Xu Xiling's sore spot.
