Liu Chengyou has never mentioned the past of his mother's family since he was a child, and when he became an adult, he sometimes asked his mother that Empress Dowager Li had been looking for the sister who had married in the troubled times all the year round, but in the end to no avail. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info So when facing the young Liu Chengyou, she had to prevaricate him on the grounds that her aunt was dead.

His father is a hero, he went from a poor wrangler, and after the repeated miraculous feats under the command of Mingzong Li Siyuan and Jin Zu Shi Jingjiao, and of course, the prestige of Yangwu Valley's defeat of the Khitan, he got the world; The father was also cruel, he treacherously attacked the tribes of the party members, plundered their livestock, and raped their women, so that he had the capital of the world - 30,000 scattered horses.

Liu Chengyou understands that although Liu Zhiyuan married him after robbing and abducting the Li family, he is cruel, but he is not a ruthless person. On the contrary, Li Ye's ruthlessness was seen by his father back then, so the first emperor would never be evil to this wife and brother. Maybe on the one hand, because of his relationship with the Empress Dowager Li, he didn't take the opportunity to kill this wife and brother, but raised him, and on the other hand, he couldn't help but humiliate him for an excuse, but that's all.

After hearing these terrible pasts, Liu Chengyou's face was full of confusion at first, but after a while, he returned to a calm expression. Empress Dowager Li looked at his facial expression, knowing that her son had chosen to believe.

"The Queen Mother and her sons are talking about these things, I don't know why?"

Empress Dowager Li was originally prepared for her son to be hysterical and even temporarily collapse. At this time, seeing that he quickly returned to normal, I don't know whether his son has the psychological ability of the Holy King or is a ruthless and cold-blooded tyrant, I really don't know whether to be happy or worried.

"I want to tell you about these old things: Why is your uncle an official and a martial envoy? It is not because he is good at handling political affairs and is decisive, but because the first emperor took a fancy to his ruthlessness. He is ruthless, and it is difficult to have real relatives and friends who can be close to him, so he can take charge of the martial arts and dedicate himself to punishing those ministers who are greedy and betray the lord. He is a sharp blade that feeds poison, and only the lord can control it, and when the lord is weak, no one can use this person. ”

"The Queen Mother wants to say that Li Ye is a generation of Zhou?"

"This is delusional, Li Ye wants to be a Junchen, he wants to be Zhou Xing, but you are not the Empress of the Great Sage, Guo Shumi and Shi Hongzhao are not Wei Xuan and Feng Yuanchang, he is afraid that Zhou's thoughts will be in vain."

Liu Chengyou disagreed: "These words are like what Yang Wei said, by the way, Yang Wei and Shi Hongzhao persuaded me not to accept the emperor's uncle Ren Kaifeng Yin's proposal, but to recommend that Hou Yi, hmph, Hou Yi went back to Beijing to do something everywhere, but I was afraid that it would give Shi and Yang benefits." ”

Liu Chengyou paused for a moment, and said seriously: Speaking of the great sage, in the eyes of the sons, after all, she is a woman, and I inherited the unification ......of the emperor, and the name is right, and the foundation is right."

Empress Dowager Li made a straight face: "Is your foundation really so justifiable, so stable as Mount Tai?" ”

Liu Chengyou flicked his sleeves and said: "I am the first emperor personally entrusted Gu's successor to the Son of Heaven, of course, the name is justified." ”

Liu Chengyou was unhappy in his heart, he knew that his parents and courtiers had always felt that his brother Liu Chengxun, the king of Wei, was more like a king, but the king of Wei died early, and his position always had some "substitute" meaning.

The Queen Mother sighed and said slowly: "Speaking of Guo Rong, do you know how he replied to me?" ”

Liu Chengyou frowned: "If Guo Rong says something provocative that reverses black and white, it is clearly a bully, how can the queen mother believe it?" ”

"The emperor is wrong, Guo Rong really didn't tell the truth, he said that you not only respect the law of the ancestors, but also understand the general situation, and be a good sheep, of course, this is not malicious deception, what the emperor just did, I naturally have a number in my heart. Emperor, you took the opportunity to humiliate him, secretly sent people to fabricate sins, and even whipped him for some reason, although he and Guo Shumi are not related by blood, but after all, the two have the status of father and son, and they are also the nephews and nephews of the privy. ”

Liu Chengyou laughed: "Guo Rong? This person is a rat, Guo Wei dotes on his own young son, and quickly dislikes and guards against this outsider. took him as a son, but he had to do it because he coveted the power and wealth of his wife's clan at the beginning. That Guo Rong was played by me, and when he returned to his father, he didn't even dare to fart, this person experienced some chicken and dog thieves, or was a villain, if he continued to live like this, he would be a stupid beetle! ”

"Guo Rong knows the most generally, and only when he knows books can he know etiquette, do you see that the princes and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty can read a few books with their hearts, can there be one or two out of five? This year's spring judges, since you have already decided to take the main exam, why don't you keep an eye on them, so as not to let those generals act recklessly, do some entrainment, and leak questions? “

Liu Chengyou said with a smile: "The teachings of the Queen Mother are naturally remembered, but since the end of the Tang Dynasty for nearly forty years, what is the use of those rotten Confucian books?" If you want to achieve great things, the strong soldiers and strong horses will do it, and the words of An Chongrong are still in my ears. ”

Empress Dowager Li only felt annoyed in her heart when she heard this, the so-called "strong soldiers and strong horses do it", it is the words of An Chongrong, the envoy of Chengde Festival in the previous dynasty, An Chongrong was originally the most active one in resisting Liao, but he witnessed the whole process of his master's cession of Youyun, and was deeply disappointed and said the words that have been passed down through the ages, and launched a rebellion. However, Liu Chengyou didn't expect that An Chongrong was not only heroic, but also proficient in calligraphy and law, and was a person who was both civil and military.

Liu Chengyou saw that the mother and son were suddenly silent, and felt bored in his heart, he said in his heart: "The Queen Mother was coaxed by those ministers who cared for her life to distinguish between right and wrong, and it was even more inconvenient to discuss the matter of accompanying Du and Kuixing with her. ”

He had to find an excuse to retire in a hurry. Before leaving, Empress Dowager Li suddenly said: "Emperor, you can bring a message to my younger brother later: I have told the emperor everything he did in the past years." ”

Liu Chengyou's heart sank: "Your Majesty will see Li Ye later, how can my mother know again?" ”

"Emperor, you have to remember something, those things that you think are behind your back, even I can't hide it, and it's even more difficult to want Guo Wei not to know."

"Son, remember!" Liu Chengyou saluted on one knee and left the Queen Mother's bedroom full of apprehension.

Liu Chengyou's proposition was not approved by the queen mother, and the stories about his uncle just now made him feel extremely lonely. The only warm nest in his soul that can be lodged is his favorite Concubine Geng.

However, Concubine Geng was ill, and her condition was getting worse and worse.

"I really deserve to be alone."

Liu Chengyou muttered to himself, and then let out a long sigh......

Outside the Yuande Palace, Eunuch Xu was looking at Li Ye in front of him, and he was very strange in his heart.

"Well, this martial artist is really getting younger and younger." Xu Fuling secretly sighed, he only started thinking about this problem after the new emperor ascended the throne this year.

The first emperor is old and gone, this Li Ye is obviously nearly fifty years old, but he is still light and healthy, with a white and handsome appearance, the only difference over the years is that those flying eagles were good before becoming an official, but now they are light.

Tiren Pavilion was originally the palace of the Kaifeng Imperial City, before meeting Tianyan, if the emperor went out and was not in the Long Live Palace, the officials had to follow Xu Fuling's side, waiting quietly here.

"Zhongguan, I haven't seen you for many days, what is more of a blessing?"

Eunuch Xu smiled slightly: "Li Hou is becoming more and more adept at complimenting, this is still thanks to the fact that the imperial court is not in a hurry to expand the palace, and the Kaifeng Imperial City is still the old pattern of the Xuanwu military administration of the Great Liang back then, which makes us servants and maids run a few legs less, and we are all fat and strong." ”

Li Ye nodded and said: "It is still the first emperor and the present emperor to be sympathetic to the people's feelings, and avoid large-scale construction, which is really a virtuous government." ”

"What I said is that the saint is lightly dressed, and we slaves and maids don't dare to slack off, our family is really tired of purchasing leather materials used in the palace ban these days, and ......"

Eunuch Xu was halfway through his words and was instantly stuck, but he found that Li Ye's snow-white handsome face suddenly became a little distorted.

“…… Tired and sore in the back. Eunuch Xu finally smoothed down the second half of the card owner's sentence in one breath, and then secretly turned his head and neck to look, it turned out that Liu Chengyou was surrounded and came back. The emperor stared at Li Ye from afar, faintly murderous.

Not only Xu Fuling, Li Ye was even more confused, there were many people around him and it was inconvenient to ask, so he had to kowtow and follow behind, and walked out of the Zhaoqing Gate of the apse with the master in his arms, and then walked into a smaller courtyard, which was the Xuanqing Hall where the emperor liked to live the most. Liu Chengyou, like the Qing emperors of later generations, would never like the vast and empty giant dormitory. Long live the hall is the predecessor of the Funing Palace after the vertical arch hall of the Northern Song Dynasty, this kind of heavy eaves is nine rooms wide and the sleeping hall, he actually rarely lives.

Maybe men are a little lazy, they like to be otaku, they want to wake up in the morning, get out of bed and reach out to touch the desk. It is not only inconvenient to be able to meet guests at one door and work and live in a large and empty house, but it also envelops oneself in a great and dark fear at night......

"I just came back from the Queen Mother." Liu Chengyou sat on the throne in the main hall and glared at Li Ye directly, "She taught me to inform you: She told me everything about you back then." ”

Li Ye Daqi said: "What happened back then? What's up? The minister dared to ask His Majesty to make it clear. ”

"It's all horrible words, and you pretend you don't know?"

Li Ye blinked his eyes vigorously, seemingly thinking hard, he muttered for a long time, Liu Chengyou looked at him, but he didn't interrupt. Suddenly, Li Ye smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't you know? My sister ......."

"Call the Queen Mother! You're getting more and more ignorant of the rules! ”

"Yes, yes...... What the minister wants to say is...... When Weichen was young, the sage queen mother and his old man loved to say some scary things to Weichen, and he was used to it. She said that the thieves in Huangchao were all devouring demons, and those who saw them on the march used stone mortar grinding as powder, making minced meat and human cakes as the main food. From the Liang to the Han Dynasty, how many of the Wenchen generals in and outside the court were the families and descendants of the old Huangchao pseudo-Qi department? Many of these people are also married to the royal family, are they all eating people every day to grow like this? ”

Eunuch Xu stood beside the emperor, and secretly praised in his heart, "That's great!" ”

Li Ye said this, so in Liu Chengyou's opinion: If what the Empress Dowager Li said to the emperor or Li Ye is false, then the emperor's doubts will naturally disappear a lot; If what Empress Dowager Li said about these two things is true, then there are many demons who eat people every day among the officials at all levels in the Han Dynasty from top to bottom, or the descendants of the family of the cannibal demon king, even if Li Ye has done any dirty things, of course, it is a little less unusual, at least in the master's heart.

Liu Chengyou yawned, and then waved his hand at him: "Li Hou, sit down." ”

Li Ye hurriedly thanked and sat down with Jun, as for what the Queen Mother said, when and what she said, whether those were true or wronged herself, and who the emperor believed, he didn't bother to care.

In his opinion, the resolution of this episode is just a trivial matter.

"The martial envoy has been waiting for so long, I think there must be something important, right? Did you catch the handle of the beetle? Why don't you turn the history of the game? ”

Li Yedao: "There are two things to play the saint here, one is a letter from Xuzhou; The second is indeed a handle, which is related to Liu Yanseng of the Weisheng Army. ”

Hearing Liu Yanseng's three words, sure enough, the emperor immediately looked solemn:

"Oh? Liu Yanseng's handle? Speak quickly! ”

Eunuch Xu beside him said in his heart, I'm afraid this good show is coming......
