…………………… Dividing line ........................

Empress dowager???!!!

Shen Yun turned around indifferently, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he looked straight at the Empress Dowager Gongmin who was slowly walking up to the Dragon Court of Zhutai!

This is an old woman who always wears a kind and smiling smile, although she is holding on to crutches, her pace is very steady, and she can't see her old age from her back alone. But are the really vicious people the appearance of good people?

Shen Yun's eyes seemed to make the Empress Dowager notice, walked up to the Dragon Court's footsteps, slowly turned her head, and suddenly smiled at Shen Yun: "It's the first time for the Marquis of Bohai to see me, an old woman, right?" ”

Shen Yun suddenly came over, bowed down and said in a deep voice: "Grass people Shen Yun, I have seen the Empress Dowager Gongmin!" ”

"Hehe, still grass people? Emperor, don't you want Shen Yun to inherit the title of Marquis of Bohai? In the latter sentence, the Queen Mother turned to the emperor and said.

Shen Yun looked at the figure of the queen mother, and only then did he see the emperor's appearance clearly. The face under the beaded curtain is a little old, the eye sockets are deep-set, there are some dark circles, the cheeks are thin, the two long beards reach the chest, with gray and white, no matter how you look at it, it does not look like about forty years old, but like fifty or sixty...... But isn't he a classmate with his father and Hu Gong, he should be the same age, why does he look like my grandfather?

Shen Yun's little thought was fleeting, because he soon saw something that surprised him--- the emperor stood up from behind the dragon case, bowed to the empress dowager, and then said in a respectful voice that no one could find fault with: "Queen Mother, how can you have time to come to the Xuande Hall today, if there is anything, let people pass on the child directly!" ”

There is nothing strange about the filial piety of mothers and children. The royal family pays more attention to these. It's just that Shen Yun was a little surprised to see this scene after hearing that their mother and son were incompatible.

The queen mother didn't return the salute, nor did she let the emperor get up, knelt behind the dragon case, handed the cane to the palace maid behind her, and looked at the folds on the dragon case.

Shen Yun couldn't help but be secretly refreshed: The cycle of heavenly principles, retribution is not happy. Look at the waist you made me bend for so long just now, it doesn't matter if our young kidneys are good, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it when you're old!

But after the dark cool, I felt a little sad. These two mothers and sons are both supreme and are in charge of the life and death of countless people in the world, but there are many more dirty things than ordinary people. If the mother and son of ordinary people are not in harmony, it will make the neighbors uneasy at most, but the discord between these two people will affect the entire Han world......

The emperor didn't seem to be in a hurry, and waited quietly for the queen mother to speak. And the queen mother, after casually reading a recital, pretended to find that the emperor was still bent over, and said in surprise: "Ah, why is the emperor still saluting?" Hurry up! The old woman has nothing to do in the Shoucheng Palace every day, and today I heard that the children of the Shen family are going to enter the palace, so I also came over to take a look, but I didn't expect that the Bohai Hou family had a young talent again! Look at how peugeot you have grown after this, and your talent is good, you are a rare talent! Emperor, what do you say? ”

The emperor was a little stunned, he didn't know what this old woman was selling?

Shen Yun didn't understand it even more. Want to show favor to me? Impossible! Even if she is old and confused, it is impossible not to understand that the hatred of killing her father is not shared, and she has released all these cruel words. Both of them understood that there was only one layer of insurmountable etiquette between them, otherwise Shen Yun would have cut off the old woman's head on the spot.

"I also think that Shen Yuncai thinks too well, and this poem may not be made in the life of a poor person......"

"Ahh The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "I, the more I look at this young talent, the more I like it, the emperor, do you think it's okay to marry Princess Duanping to him?" ”

Shen Yun suddenly let out an "ah". The emperor chuckled even more. The two men, an old man and a young man, who met for the first time, actually looked at each other with tacit understanding at this moment.

Damn, dare to wait for Lao Tzu here, you can't inherit the title when you become a colt! This old witch is so ruthless!

Shen Yun had already scolded in his heart, but the emperor had already spoken first: "Queen Mother Mingjian, the thirtieth generation of Bohai Marquis Shen Mu has just passed away, the family cannot be left without an owner for a day, the child has decided to let Shen Yun inherit the title, this trick is a matter of horses......"

The queen mother sank her old face: "What, if you recruit as a concubine, you will humiliate the Bohai Hou family?" Can't my old woman find a good family for my granddaughter when she speaks herself? Besides, Ding Xingwang, the Marquis of Bohai, isn't there another Shen He? ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Shen Yun coldly, "Shen Yun, that girl from Hui'er has told the mourning family many times, she likes you very much, what do you mean?" ”

Shen Yun's heart was full of anger at the moment, and he didn't take it to heart at all when he said to the queen mother that Zhou Hui liked him Yunyun didn't take it to heart at all, and when she asked, he immediately said: "Empress Dowager Qi, my father is newly mourned, and Yun has no intention of caring about the personal affairs of his children." Please also ask the Queen Mother to take back her fate, return to her hometown with Zhun Yun Fuling, and keep filial piety for her father! ”

The emperor immediately followed: "Queen Mother, the empire rules the world with filial piety. Shen Yun is still mourning for his father, so let's postpone the matter of recruiting as a colt! ”

The queen mother's face was gloomy, and she couldn't see any joy or sorrow and said: "Well, there is some truth in what the emperor said, since this is the case, then Shen Yun, you should hurry up and help the spirit to return to his hometown!" Don't delay on the road! This hot day is really hard for you, come on, give Shen Yun a summer sour plum soup to relieve the heat! ”

"Whoa." Immediately, a palace maid brought a small cup of red liquid to Shen Yun.

Before Shen Yun knew it, the emperor was about to speak, and the empress dowager said: "Emperor, since Shen Yun is still mourning his father, from the perspective of the mourning family, it is not appropriate to handle the matter of inheriting the title of Marquis of Bohai, so let's send a will, let the elders of the Bohai family get together to discuss it, and wait for the result to be discussed before making a decision!" After all, this matter is also a happy event, and it is not in line with the great mourning! What does the emperor think? ”

It seems that the Queen Mother has made up her mind today not to let Shen Yun inherit the title. Shen Yun understood this, and the emperor understood it even more.

"Oh, the child will do what the queen mother wants!" The emperor bent down, unable to see his expression clearly.

"Well, since this is the case, the mourning family will not hinder the emperor from handling state affairs...... Alas, it's too hot on this day, and people are prone to fire! It seems that the mourning family will have to drink a few more bowls of sour plum soup when they go back! As she spoke, she stood up tremblingly, and the palace maid beside her hurriedly stepped forward to help. The group walked out so slowly.

Damn, after such a trip, I didn't do a good thing, and I messed up everything! Shen Yun wished that she would fall to her death when she got out of the threshold. It's a pity that the palace maid next to her was already in front of the old woman when she was stepping and helping to lift her skirt and feet......

When the Empress Dowager walked away, Shen Yun looked back at the emperor, but saw that the emperor suddenly swept the twists and turns on the dragon case, and shouted furiously: "Get out, get out!" ”

The eunuchs and Zhijinwu who served in the Xuande Hall hurriedly bowed down and walked out with their backs. Shen Yun sighed, and he was about to retreat, so he heard the emperor say: "Shen Yun stays!" ”

After everyone retreated and even closed the door of the main hall, they saw the emperor sitting behind the dragon case and beckoned to Shen Yun: "Come here!" ”

Shen Yun took a few steps forward, but the emperor said again: "Come up and sit beside me!" ”

"Huh?" Shen Yun was taken aback.

I heard the emperor smile helplessly a few times, and said tiredly: "Why, can you accompany your Uncle Zhang for a night, can't you sit with Uncle Liu for a while?" Virtuous nephew, what I did as an emperor is half interesting?! ”

Shen Yun didn't know what it was like in his heart, so he walked up to the Dragon Court, looked for a corner beside the emperor, and knelt down.

The emperor looked at him for a while before he said faintly: "Hehe, did your Uncle Zhang tell you that if I wear a big crown or a crown or something, you will immediately kowtow and ask for sin?" ”

Shen Yun was silent, and the emperor didn't want him to answer, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's divided, it's all divided!" Yes, I was a little angry when I saw that letter before, but I wasn't angry with you, but at that slut who didn't tell me in advance about such a big thing...... I just wanted to punish you a little and sharpen your arrogance before, so I made you bend over for a while, isn't this how you are angry with your Uncle Liu? ”

At this point, Shen Yun no longer has half of his previous resentment. The deep care in Emperor Liu Ju's mouth cannot be faked. In a trance, Shen Yun actually felt that the tip of his nose was a little sour, and a long-lost crying feeling hit his heart, and he couldn't help but cry out sadly: "Uncle Liu, my father died so miserably and unjustly!" ”

This sound made Liu Ju's eyes redden, and he reached out and patted Shen Yun's filial piety clothes, and choked up: "I know, I know." Qingquan is for me, for the sake of this empire...... Alas, I can't wear filial piety for him, so I have to let you wear filial piety into the palace, I wanted to pass on the position of the Marquis of Bohai to you, but I didn't think about it......"

"Uncle Liu, my nephew doesn't miss the position of a marquis, my nephew just wants to avenge his father! This revenge is not avenged as a son of man! Uncle Liu, you are the supreme in the world, and your nephew has nothing else to ask for, but to one day be able to slash the enemy and comfort his father's soul in the sky! ”

Shen Yun's half-truthful crying made Liu Ju smile with relief, and said slowly: "Don't talk about children, this title is originally yours, and no one can take it away!" As he spoke, he picked up a silk decree from the dragon case and handed it to Shen Yun, saying, "Originally, this decree was to be read out just now, but because of my willful actions just now, it was too late, so you couldn't inherit the title immediately...... But it's okay, you take this will, go back and show it to the elders of your Bohai family, hmph, I don't believe that Liang Gong's hand is so long, and he can't control Bohai Houman! ”

Shen Yun was stunned, the holy decree in his hand must be the holy decree that allowed him to inherit the title, but what did he mean by Liang Gong?

Liu Ju looked at Shen Yun kindly, and said softly: "Alas, I didn't expect you to be so old...... Hehe, I remember that when you were full moon, I still went to drink your full moon wine, and at that time, I and Qingquan, Ponu, and Yuanfeng took turns hugging you to see who could make you laugh, but it has been more than 20 years in the blink of an eye......"

Speaking of this, a layer of mist appeared in his eyes, and Shen Yun thought that he was wrong, but in an instant, he stretched out his hand to cover it.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the palace, and a eunuch said loudly outside: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Duke Hu asks to see you!" ”

The emperor smiled and said to Shen Yun: "Look, your Uncle Hu has come to protect you!" ”

Shen Yun sneered, not daring to speak.

The emperor didn't think about it either, and raised his voice: "Xuan! ”

"Whoa!" The eunuch's shrill voice sounded: "Your Majesty has a decree, Xuanhu Gong will come to see you!" ”

"When there is no one in the future, you should call me Uncle I." Liu Ju said to Shen Yun gently, "You just have to remember that no matter what happens, Uncle Liu will definitely help you!" ”

Shen Yun hurriedly leaned over: "Oh, nephew keep it in mind!" ”

"Whoever forsakes me, he shall not remain in the day of yesterday. Those who disturb my heart will have many troubles today. Yuanrang, this will definitely become a good sentence for the ages! ”

Shen Yun blushed a little, and was about to speak, when the door of the palace suddenly opened, and Hu Gong rushed in, and saw Shen Yun and Liu Ju sitting opposite each other, and couldn't help but be stunned on the ground.

The eunuch closed the door, and Liu Ju beckoned to Hu Gong and smiled: "Zhang Ponu, are you worried that I will hate our nephew?" ”

When Hu Gong saw this situation, he understood that he was too worried, and at this moment, he actually showed a childlike smile, stepped up to the Dragon Court in a few steps, and knelt on the other side of the emperor, and said, "Haha, how can it!" I know your relationship with Qingquan. As he spoke, he said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that Fang Cai passed later, and I don't know ......."

"Alas, I am not yet the emperor who can say anything...... I'm afraid that Yuanrang's title will be delayed! Liu Ju briefly said the matter of Fang Cai.

Hu Gong was suddenly furious, glared at him and said: "What bullshit, if you can't recruit a horse, you will use this dirty excuse." Your Majesty is relieved, wait for the old man to find Yuwen Hu, let him Jin Yan is, stir up this trend, are you afraid that the Queen Mother will not allow it! ”

Shen Yun hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhang, don't let the princes of the temple quarrel for the sake of the little nephew, isn't this because of the big loss?" ”

Liu Ju said: "Broken slave, do you think I haven't thought about it? However, alas, Liang Gong, Ying Gong, and Zhi Gong may not agree! ”

Hu Gong was silent.

…………………… Dividing line ........................

Now in this situation, Gongfu Xiao told Shen Yun carefully yesterday. Above the court, the people of the imperial party are still weak, especially in terms of county guards across the country, the Liang Gong family, the Zhi Gong family, and the Ying Gong family almost control one-third of the county guard positions in the empire. In terms of military power, Duke Hu and Duke Yi are considered to be the emperor's line, but they only have the military power of four first-class legions, and the remaining five first-class legions are in the hands of Lianggong, Zhigong, and Yinggong. They are the biggest reason for the queen mother to dare to interfere in the government affairs!

Of course, neither Duke Liang, Duke Zhi nor Duke Ying dared to be disrespectful to the emperor, and they also did not dare to rebel. The Han Empire ruled for nearly a thousand years, and orthodoxy has long been ingrained and unshakable. All they can do is help the Queen Mother beat the side drum and strengthen her momentum.

Some people will say that since orthodoxy has been deeply rooted, and the Han soldiers only obey the army's orders, why not replace the commander of the legion and hold all the military power in his hands, so that there is no need to fear the queen mother?

Herein lies the problem. The Holy Ancestor is a traverser, and he has long instilled the idea of "power from the barrel of a gun" to all his successors. The university system, the military rank system, including a series of reforms that are close to modern times, all serve this purpose. Of course, Emperor Liu Ju also knew that taking over all the military power would solve the problem. However, he did not have enough men to take over the command of those legions!

Not to mention the reason for the Emperor's Balancing Technique, the mere fact that the commander of the Imperial Legion must be a general is enough to limit the manpower that the Emperor can choose.

In order to ensure the durability of the army's combat effectiveness, the Holy Ancestor has long set the rule that no generals can be awarded unless they have military merits!

That is to say, unless you have made military achievements, you can only be promoted to colonel at most, and you must reach a certain age to reach the rank of colonel. In the five hundred years since the reform of the Poor Holy Ancestor, there were only more than 160 generals in the empire, including major generals. Today, including Hu Gong and Yi Gong, there are only eighteen generals in the empire, except for the commander of the first-class legion who is a general, and many of the division commanders of the second-class legion are appointed by colonels. One can imagine how lacking the generals of the empire were!

It is precisely because of this that in recent years there has been a high level of war sentiment within the Imperial Army. Soldiers are also people, and they also have desires, and promotion is undoubtedly one of the greatest desires of soldiers, so this declaration of war on Rome will be accepted by so many people. Many neutral officials above the court were also in favor of declaring war, and it is difficult to say that they were not affected by this aspect.

However, the imperial finances did not allow it, so the emperor had to send his descendants Hu Gong and Yi Gong to carry out a small-scale attack, which was equivalent to giving Hu Gong and Yi Gong's army a chance to be promoted, and the soldiers of other legions were naturally even more dissatisfied...... This is a vicious circle, and if we do not find a reasonable way to deal with it, we will have unpredictable and catastrophic consequences.

Even if it was Duke Hu and Duke Yi, Liu Ju, as the emperor, did not have unlimited trust to use. It's not that he won't, it's that he can't. The emperor naturally has the responsibility of the emperor, he cannot make decisions according to his own preferences, he must take care of the interests of all aspects. Small families and small families will still make trouble with the government, let alone a big empire!

To put it bluntly, the emperor is actually a big patriarch, and he must take care of the interests of anyone in the family, so that everyone will obey him, otherwise, hum...... Many of the rebels turned out to be officials, and the uneven distribution of parents was one of the reasons for their rebellion.

At this time, another eunuch knocked on the door of the temple and said at the door: "Your Majesty, the cabinet ministers have jointly asked for a meeting, please make a decision!" ”

The emperor's gentle face suddenly sank, and he said in a muffled voice: "Got it, let them wait!" ”

"Whoa!"

Hu Gong asked: "The three ministers of the cabinet jointly ask for a meeting?" Your Majesty, but what has happened? ”
