Chapter 23: Liu Yong's Response (3)
In traditional Chinese thought, filial piety is greater than heaven, and filial piety - respect and obedience to the elders and elders, and this idea is also implemented in political rules.
Therefore, in front of the Empress Dowager Wu, as long as she speaks occupies the word "reason", no matter how reluctant Liu Yong and Zhuge Liang are and how they don't want to listen to it, they ...... Even if she stood there perfunctorily, she had to wait for her to finish!
Although Empress Dowager Wu does not ask about the government and does not hold power, as long as she lives in Changle Palace for a day, she will be the titular heaven of today's Shu Han for a day.
So Liu Yong covered his abdomen with his hands, showing embarrassment, and said, "Prime Minister...... Well...... I...... I am in a hurry and need to go to the toilet, so please wait for a while......"
Well?
Zhuge Liang's mouth opened slightly, and the voice in his throat and eyes stopped abruptly, as if he had been cut off by someone. Even if he was witty, it was hard for him to think that when he was reporting on major state affairs, His Majesty the Emperor actually said that he was going to the toilet!! I'm ...... You...... Can't you bear it!
Looking at his prime minister's bewildered expression, Liu Yong also admired himself in his heart - he is still a bullshit, he can come up with such a rebellious reason, witty, really fucking witty!
Under the constipated face of Zhu Zhu, Liu Yong coughed lightly, picked up the music and went to the toilet to go to bed. Before leaving, Chuntuo, who was also stunned on the side, glanced at Chuntuo, who understood, and followed behind Liu Yong's ass lightly.
Entering the inner bed, holding back left and right, Liu Yong's expression changed again, and the color of jokes disappeared cleanly!
A handful of arms around Chuntuo's shoulders...... It is said that although Liu Yong is only fifteen years old, he is no shorter than the fully developed Chuntuo, about 1.65 meters in later generations.
"Listen! I don't have time to talk nonsense, so you can go to Changle Palace and present this letter to the queen mother. In addition, you can tell the queen mother again: I ask him to help my son...... Need her to be so ......" Liu Yong's right hand wrapped around Chuntuo's neck and whispered in his ear.
"Do you understand? If you understand it, go for it! After Liu Yong finished speaking, he asked.
Chuntuo's pupils dilated suddenly, he had already faintly smelled the slightest unusual smell after the death of the two emperors, he nodded seriously, and responded: "The slave understands!" ”
Seeing Chuntuo move from the inner bed to the side hall and head to Changle Palace, Liu Yong believed that he would obey his orders and not think about it. Eunuchs are deformed products derived from imperial power, they are dependent on imperial power, and they do not have a strong emperor as their backing...... They are nothing! At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ten permanent servants could make waves, but Jun He had seen Emperor Han Xian and the eunuchs around Guangxu make any big waves......
Seeing Chuntuo disappear into the layers of palaces, Liu Yongcai called back the palace maids and ordered them to help him undress...... Well...... Although Hanfu is gorgeous, it also has its huge drawbacks...... Heavy and cumbersome.
The ancients had a very elegant name for going to the toilet: changing clothes.
So where does it come from? Here's why, you just have to go to the toilet...... Take off your clothes, change your clothes, so you say: change your clothes. Therefore, this inconvenience greatly prolonged the time for the ancients to go to the toilet, so it was too late for Chuntuo to carry out the great god of Empress Dowager Wu......
After about two incense sticks, Chuntuo returned.
Liu Yong looked at Chuntuo's face flushed and panting, and felt that this goods should be trotting back and forth. Well...... This slave deserves a good job, there are bonus points!
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother...... Looked...... Soshu agreed. Zhang De has ...... On the way, the slave maid preemptively ...... Get back ahead of him and give you a breath. Chuntuo crossed his hands on his hips, kept panting, and his eyes rolled white.
Knowing that Zhang De was coming, Liu Yong, who had already finished going to the toilet, tidied up his clothes and went out to bed.
"Your Majesty, the matter of Guanghan is urgent, if you think about it, then do it according to the minister's wishes."
"Hmm...... Is Yizhou criminal Cao engaged in it, is he the state official in charge of the criminal name? Liu Yong avoided answering and asked inexplicably.
Zhuge Liang felt a little that the young emperor was prevaricating him, and frowned, "Yes, it is the official in charge of criminal law in Yizhou." ”
At this time, the eunuch standing outside the hall entered the palace to report: "Your Majesty, the eldest Changqiu in the Queen Mother's palace, Zhang De asks to see you." ”
Da Changqiu, two thousand stones, responsible for announcing the queen's will, managing the affairs of the palace, and being the head of the queen's close attendants, mostly filled by eunuchs.
But Zhang De was not a eunuch, he was once the pro-soldier of Wu Yi, the brother of the Empress Dowager Wu, who entered the palace because he was injured on the battlefield, and became a close person to the Empress Dowager Wu who was still the queen at the time.
Zhang De entered Huaque and politely saluted Liu Yong and Zhuge Liang before he spoke: "Queen Mother, please ask Your Majesty and the Prime Minister to go to Changle Palace for questioning." It's about Guanghan......"
Hey? At this time, in the evening, the Queen Mother suddenly summoned the emperor and the prime minister...... Or is it about state affairs...... There are quirks! Zhuge Liang's intuition told him...... Someone is secretly stirring up the storm in the sky over the city............
On the way to Changle Palace, Liu Yong invited Zhuge Liang to ride with him.
Sitting in the gold and silver cart, His Majesty was close at hand, but Zhuge Liang felt that his heart was far away from this thoughtful emperor. Zhuge Liang realized in his heart...... Why did the Queen Mother know about Guanghan, and she also inserted a pole to come in...... All the clues point the finger at you............ Your Majesty!
**************************
In Changle Palace, the night deepened and sank
"The emperor and the prime minister, it's not that the mourning family wants to interfere in state affairs, but that there is such a big mess in Guanghan County, and the mourning family, as the queen mother, can't just ask?" Empress Dowager Wu sat on the main seat and was very good at speaking, so she put her position right first.
I only heard her pause, and then continued: "The mourning family heard that there was a big incident in Guanghan County, not only are there bandits in chaos, but the number of people in Guanghan is completely less than half, and now there are only 80,000 people left!" What's going on, Prime Minister? ”
Hearing Empress Dowager Wu's questioning, Zhuge Liang's buttocks on his heels immediately bounced up (kneeling is kneeling on the seat, folding his legs back, and putting his buttocks lightly on the heels of his feet), avoiding Xie (apologize) and saying: "This minister's mistakes are also, the minister should introspect himself, and immediately deal with the relevant matters of Guanghan seriously, if there is a traitor, he will not be spared!" ”
"Alas! Prime Minister, Emperor Zhaolie was a great act back then, entrusting Sheji and the heir to the public, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen! Now is not the time to deal with it in a hurry, but to send capable people to Guanghan to find out the root cause and why! Empress Dowager Wu also stood up and said with deep feelings: "The mourning family also knows that it is not easy for you, but if the society is unstable and in danger of overturning, the emperor will go to the ancestors to apologize, and the mourning family will also close the door to thank the guests, and repent...... What about you, Prime Minister? How do you deal with yourself when the business arrives? ”
How to deal with yourself? At that point, you must not thank the world if you die! Zhuge Liang was so frightened by Empress Dowager Wu's heavy words that he was sweating, and hurriedly prostrated on the ground, kowtowed: "The minister is sincerely afraid, and he pauses his head, capital crime, capital crime!" ”
At this moment, Liu Yong interjected: "Queen Mother, the matter of Guanghan is just a temporary oversight of the prime minister, it is better for the palace, the imperial court, and the Yizhou Mansion to jointly send officials to find out all aspects and then deal with it." ”
"Well," Empress Dowager Wu agreed, and asked, "What does the prime minister think?" ”
"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty is reasonable...... Self-...... So. ”
Watching Liu Yong and Empress Dowager Wu sing and harmonize, Zhuge Liang suddenly ............ The Queen Mother first criticized herself and put herself in a passive position, and then Her Majesty took the opportunity to throw out his opinion............
Zhuge Liang can see that this is a play played by Empress Dowager Wu and Liu Yong together! Inexplicable...... Zhuge Liang had a slight sour feeling in his heart, Your Majesty was doubting me, distrusting me, and suppressing me...............
Zhuge Liang finally accepted Liu Yong's proposal, and he was very conscious, and never asked the Empress Dowager Wu...... Who told her the news, because then, it would only embarrass everyone. Back in the house, he was in a complicated mood this night and couldn't sleep......
On the contrary, success delayed time, but Liu Yong's mood was very comfortable. Returning to Huaque from Changle Palace, he unexpectedly refused to take a car and chose to walk back to the palace.
Walking on the road leading to the palace in Changle Palace, the lights of Changming Palace stood on both sides with dim lights, surrounded by black holes in the corners of the palace walls, Liu Yong felt a trace of gloom for no reason......
Abruptly, passing through the Yongdao and passing through Shangyi Lane, there was a crisp and pleasant, smooth guzheng sound like a mountain spring......
Liu Yong's heart moved, and he stopped, searching for the origin of the music.
And after the melodious and tactful sound of the guzheng, a series of ethereal female voices came:
There are beautiful women in the north
Peerless and independent
A look at the city
Then look at the country
Rather than know the city and the country
Beautiful woman...... Difficult...... Again......
It's a song "Beauty Song"!
