Chapter 373: The King's Duty
(a)
The chief attendant lightly picked up the wick on Liu Shenshu's case brighter.
He said carefully: "King Han, it's already past the third watch. ”
Liu Shen looked up from the recital. He said, "Day by day, it's so fast." He put down his pen and stretched out his arm. He stood up.
The chief chamberlain hurriedly asked cautiously: "Do you want to choose the king of Han, where to sleep?" ”
Liu Shen said: "Let me choose every night, you don't feel tired, I feel very tired." Therefore, the teachings of the saints are very right, life must be simple, and do not allow yourself to choose too much. There are too many unnecessary choices, not only to embarrass yourself, but also to trouble others. ”
He said: "But the three palaces and six courtyards are also the regulations of the ancestors, and in order to ensure the reproduction of the heirs, it also makes sense, and there is no way." ”
He said, "Well, I'll make a rule, and you will arrange it for me according to it." ”
"After that, I slept in my study for a third of my time every year," he said. And a third is at Qin'er's. The rest of the time, let's divide it equally among the women who have a place. The important Han festivals are all in Qin'er. The important festivals of the Rong ancestors and the Tubo tribes were held at the other two concubines. In addition, if any concubine is sick, pregnant, or before or after childbirth, or if the child and family are sick, etc., more arrangements should be made to comfort and comfort. ”
He said, "You guys, according to this rule, help me arrange all the year, and after Qin'er has seen it, I will go to sleep according to this arrangement." ”
The chief chamberlain looks at you.
"King Han." He said.
Liu Shen said: "What? Is there anything wrong? ”
The chief chamberlain bowed his head and said, "Actually, in fact, why should King Han wronged himself like this. King Han is the king of the world, and in his harem, King Han can do whatever he wants. ”
Liu Shen yawned. He said, "I don't feel any grievances. Tell you, that's what the kings of the world are to do. He can't think about anything but his own. He thinks about the feelings of others in everything. Everything should be considered what is the most suitable and peaceful for the world. ”
He said, "If you think only about yourself. Then you are not worthy to be a king. Even ordinary people can't think only about themselves in everything. ”
He said, "Whatever pleases you and does as you please, I tell you, if it is not an ignorant child, then a well-dressed beast." Even, it's not enough to be an ordinary person. ”
He looked at the chief chamberlain. He said to the chief chamberlain, "I know that you are concerned about me when you say this. But in the future, you must be careful not to go in the direction of the beast to encourage me. Never. Do you understand? ”
When the chief attendant heard this, he trembled and knelt on the ground, and said in a panic, "The slave understands!" Minions understand! The minions don't dare anymore! ”

"What is this?" I looked at what Liu Shen gave me.
He said, "Qin'er, please take a look, is it appropriate to arrange it like this." ”
I looked at the arrangement again.
Liu Shen said: "Why are you looking at me like this? ”
I said with admiration: "King Han is a natural king." In his bones, he is born to be a king. ”
Liu Shen smiled. He said, "The bones of my whole body have been lightened by you. ”
I bowed my head.
Liu Shen said: "There is nothing inappropriate, right? ”
I said, "No." King Han was very thoughtful. ”
Liu Shen said: "Qin'er, don't you want to take advantage of the near water at this moment to ask me for a few more nights?" ”
I said, "It is Qin'er's duty to obey the arrangement of the Han King and set an example of obedience for the harem." King Han is so selfless, how can Qin'er pretend to be a public servant. ”
Liu Shen said: "Two-thirds of the nights of the year, I can't be by your side. Don't you want me? ”
I said, "If King Han wants to come, he can always come at any time." Every night of Qin'er's life is the king of Han's. ”
Liu Shen shook his head. He said, "No." A third of the night, I'll be waiting for you in the study. Waiting for you to miss me, waiting for you to be afraid of being lonely, waiting for you to come over, let me accompany you. Only you can come to the study without my consent. It is the power of your position. If you want to come every day, those nights are all yours. ”
I looked at Liu Shen. Liu Shen said, "Will you come?" ”
I said, "No matter what time it is, no matter where King Han is, I will be here, ready to welcome King Han every night." ”
Liu Shen said, "Won't you come?" “
I said, "When I was a child, my father taught me that you can't be too greedy. I can't already think of a lot, but I want more. If you are too greedy, you will end up with nothing, and even what you already have will become nothing. ”
Liu Shen listened and smiled. He said: "Is this a tactful and indirect reminder to me? ”
I said, "How dare Qin'er." King Han is the king in the world who knows the stakes best. No one can surpass the sobriety of King Han. ”
Liu Shen smiled again. He said, "Qin'er, how many ways do you reject me?" It's rare that you don't repeat it every time. ”
I said, "Qin'er will always belong to the King of Han and will never refuse the King of Han." ”
Liu Shen said: "Also, I will never accept it. ”
"It doesn't matter," he said. I'm never going to force you to accept it. You can rest assured, I will only wait patiently and will never be forced. ”
