At night, the Ciming Hall was brightly lit, and Zhao Xu's wives and the Queen Mother's mother were happily rubbing mahjong together, and from time to time there was an excited scream when someone won the card, and our Comrade Zhao Xu naturally became a coolie to watch the children, but for Zhao Xu, a person who likes his wife and children's hot kang head, this is a very happy job

At this time, Xiaodouzi hurriedly ran in and said to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, Lord Hubu Shangshu Liu Shi Hailiu is asking to see Your Majesty in the imperial study. ”

"Is there anything wrong with him coming on the big night?" Zhao Xu kept amusing the two children with the rattle in his hand, and asked Xiaodouzi

"This person didn't say anything, but said that Lord Liu wanted to ask to see His Majesty, and when he arrived at the door of the imperial study, he knelt there with a thud, and no one could persuade him." Xiaodouzi also said suspiciously

"Kneeling there all the time and not moving?" Zhao Xu asked with some surprise

"The people who came said that they didn't, but no one persuaded them."

"Then let's go, go and see, what kind of moth is this dead fat man making at night." As he spoke, Zhao Xu handed the rattle in his hand to the palace maid next to him, and then said to the group of women playing mahjong and walked out of the Ciming Hall and walked towards the imperial study

As soon as he walked near the imperial study, he was still far away, and he saw Liu Shihai wearing a formal purple court dress, kneeling motionless at the door of the imperial study. What is this guy doing, it's not usually like this, Zhao Xu thought very puzzled

"Lao Liu, this is all sealed, this is the New Year, why are you kneeling at my door so late?" Seeing Liu Shihai kneeling at the door of the imperial study with a painful expression on his face as if he was constipated, Zhao Xu immediately asked in confusion

"Your Majesty!! The minister is guilty!! After seeing Zhao Xu, Liu Shihai excitedly kowtowed to him constantly, and the ones were absolutely genuine, and his head was bleeding

Liu Shihai's hand could stunned Zhao Xu in surprise, and he instantly felt a heart-deep urge rushing to his head, "Stop!" Liu Shihai, what are you doing! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister is guilty!" Liu Shihai kept saying this sentence over and over again, which made Zhao Xu's King Kong confused and confused

"Get up, get up, come in and speak, dignified household officials, crying and mourning in front of me, how can it be like a dead old lady."

As he spoke, Zhao Xu took the lead in entering the imperial study, went to the chair behind the dragon case, pointed to the chair under his right hand and said to Liu Shihai: "Sit down and talk about something." ”

"I don't dare."

"Well, then your old man will stand and speak." For Liu Shihai's virtue, Zhao Xu was really helplessly drunk

But who would have thought that Liu Shihai directly "poofed", knelt there again, or with that expression like a mournful concubine, he couldn't stop crying and crying: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, and the minister's family education does not want it, causing the concubines in the family to collide with the holy car, offending the queen mother and all the ladies in the palace, and the ministers deserve death." ”

Regarding Liu Shihai's incident, to be honest, Zhao Xu really didn't particularly care, even if his queen mother's mother and his wives looked at it as a little farce at the time, but he never imagined that Liu Shihai was so nervous to ask Zhao Xu for guilt, and as for some arrogant words of Liu Shihai's wife, hehe, it was just a smile, as for the fact that many high-ranking officials and nobles gave gifts to Liu Shihai, Zhao Xu can actually understand that the official is big and popular in front of the emperor. There are naturally more people who want to stammer, even Chu Luli sometimes complains to Zhao Xu, saying that the gift-giver has blocked the door of his house, besides, a person as smooth as Liu Shihai, the people who stammered him are naturally like a carp crossing the river, since ancient times, the officialdom has been clear and there is no fish, this point, Zhao Xu naturally still knows, as long as it is not a major event that collaborates with the enemy and treason and endangers the people, he can only turn a blind eye to the past as an emperor

"That's it?" Zhao Xu asked Liu Shihai helplessly

"Huh? Yes! And Liu Shihai was directly blinded by Zhao Xu's question, and his thinking seemed to be a little fragmented and he couldn't keep up with Zhao Xu's rhythm

"Old Liu, did you come to tell me these things at night, did you come to ask for sin? What's the matter, besides, your concubine didn't know that I was the emperor at the time, and I didn't blame her at all for this point, but she was so arrogant and domineering, this is the problem of your usual lax discipline, today this is against me and did not succeed, if one day is changed to an ordinary person, will your concubine really kill the whole family, for this, you Lao Liu has to take care of it. There are one and there are two, is everyone in your old Liu family like this, you Liu Shihai should be better than me in your heart. ”

"Yes, yes, Weichen must strengthen family education to ensure that no one in the family will make such mistakes in the future." Liu Shihai knelt on the ground, the sweat on his forehead kept dripping on the floor of the imperial study, I don't know if it was because he was scared out of cold sweat by Zhao Xu's words, or he was tired and sweaty from kneeling on the ground

"Get up, sit there, wipe your sweat, little bean, and serve Lao Liu a cup of hot tea."

"Your Majesty." Liu Shihai stood up tremblingly, probably because he had been kneeling for too long, and Liu Shihai was already a little lame when he walked

"Lao Liu, as a member of the imperial court, you are a member of the household department, every move represents the face of the court, and even this will involve the trend of the court on the people's livelihood, you look at these messy things in your family, how can you be a good book, your wife and even some small people in the market collided with me, I don't care, because they don't know who I am, it's like a bump between ordinary people, it doesn't matter, but your concubine kills the whole family with one mouth, how smooth it is, you say, You have killed the whole family of several men for your concubines. ”

"Long live, the minister was wronged, the minister's family has never been killed, it is the minister who usually spoils her too much, which caused his temper to be cross-sectional, and the minister must be strictly disciplined after he goes back."

"Is she the only one who is so domineering, or is your family like this, I can't control it, but the leopard in the tube, it can be seen, you should know what this means. Okay, today's matter, let it pass like this, I will no longer pursue these messy trivial matters in your family, but I have two points that I must remind you, first, as an important minister of the court, everything needs to be self-disciplined, and second, it is okay to receive gifts and do things, but what gifts can be received and what gifts cannot be accepted, what can be done and what cannot be done, you should also be clear yourself. That's all I have to say, you can step down. ”

"Yes, yes, your majesty will remember your majesty's teachings, and you will not dare to forget them until you die." After speaking, Liu Shihai kowtowed respectfully to me, and slowly withdrew from the imperial study (to be continued.) )
