Chapter Seventy-Four: Taifu

Liu Che is so good, of course, because of his excellent talent, it is inseparable from Liu Qi's careful cultivation over the years.

At the beginning, when Wei Juan was selected as the crown prince, Liu Qi put a lot of thought into it.

Wei Juan is an old minister left by Emperor Wen Liu Heng. Before Liu Heng died, he specially instructed Liu Qidao: "Zhonglang General Wei Juan is a loyal elder, treat him well." ”

Liu Qi verbally agreed, but he didn't think so. Wei Juan once offended Liu Qi, who was still the crown prince. Liu Heng's heart is like a mirror, so he has this special explanation.

After Liu Qi succeeded to the throne, he couldn't bear the trouble of not looking for Wei Juan, and hung Wei Juan aside, and it was two years at a time. Wei Juan did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, and became more and more conscientious in his work.

Wei Juan's performance, Liu Qi saw it in his eyes. Once, Liu Qi went to Shanglin Yuan and specially summoned Wei Juan to take a car with him.

After returning to the palace, Liu Qi found Wei Juan and asked, "Do you know why you can ride in a car with me today?" ”

"The minister used to be a chauffeur, but he was luckily promoted to Zhonglang General. The minister is stupid and does not know why. Wei Wan replied respectfully.

"When I was the crown prince, I invited the courtiers of the first emperor, but you were the only one who didn't come. Why don't you come? Liu Qi was angry and asked.

Back then, Wei Juan excused himself from illness and politely refused Liu Qi's dinner. What a big thing to remember for so many years. People with low self-esteem can't be offended!

It's not that Wei Juan doesn't know how to lift and doesn't give Liu Qi face. Wei Juan is honest and cautious, as the emperor's close attendant, he does not dare to accept the crown prince's invitation, first, to avoid suspicion, and second, to avoid trouble.

'How did you know that you would meet such a cautious master! Wei Wan lamented secretly. Of course, the real reason is inconvenient to say, and some things can only be known by heart, and it is not good to say it.

"What a capital offense! I was really sick that day. Wei Juan raised his forehead with his hand and bowed down to explain.

As the saying goes, location determines ideas. When a person sits in different positions, he or she thinks about the problem from different angles and heights. Liu Qi is now the emperor and his identity has changed, so he can naturally understand why Wei Juan refused to participate in the dinner back then.

The revival of the old things is just to relieve the unhappiness accumulated in the heart. Wei Juan's attitude was so good, Liu Qi's heart knot was untied, but he was a little embarrassed.

"If you're really sick, of course it's excusable." Liu Qi's face was a little pale, and he said with a smile: "You work very hard, I can see it." There are a few new swords recently forged in the palace, so I'll give you one. After speaking, he glanced at the eunuchs serving beside him.

The eunuch understood, bowed down and was about to fetch it.

Wei Juan bowed and said loudly: "The first emperor has already given the minister six swords, and the minister does not dare to accept the reward again." ”

"Swords are easy to give as gifts. Those swords that the first emperor gave you, could it be that you keep them all? Liu Qi was a little skeptical. In high-level interpersonal interactions, there is a custom of exchanging swords.

"Keep it all." Wei Wan replied firmly.

"Okay." Liu Qi became interested and said with a smile: "In this case, let's take a look." As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed the eunuchs: "You go to the guard house." ”

The eunuch answered. Liu Qi still stayed with Wei Wan to chat. After missing three moments, the eunuch came back and brought back six swords, which were given by the first emperor Liu Heng. The six swords were in their sheaths, and they were never even used.

Liu Qi nodded deeply in admiration and didn't say anything more.

Wei Wan retired with interest.

"Loyal Elder! Loyal Elders! Seeing Wei Juan's back, Liu Qi sighed with emotion.

When Liu Che was appointed as the crown prince, Liu Qi thought of Wei Juan and appointed him as the crown prince.

"Wei Juan is loyal and old, and I can rest assured that he will assist in teaching the prince." Liu Qi said.

Liu Che's virtue is getting newer, and Wei Juan's contribution is indispensable. Liu Qi was happy and promoted Wei Juan to the imperial doctor. Prime Minister and Tao Hou Liu She retired, and Liu Qi thought of Wei Juan again.

For the sake of the new prime minister, Liu Qi had a quarrel with the Empress Dowager Dou.
