The cold moonlight shone on the quiet streets of Luoyang, which were deserted due to the difficulty of lighting at night in ancient times.

Suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the palace gate, and then I saw a fast horse coming quickly towards the palace gate.

Seeing this, the palace guards and soldiers hurriedly shouted, "The palace is heavy, and the idle people are leaving." ”

The man on the fast horse pulled the reins, stopped the horse in its place, and dismounted.

I saw that this person was dressed as a domestic servant and held a book in his hand.

Due to the development of a new type of paper in the East Factory, the ministers of the DPRK and China switched to paper musicals.

Seeing this, the palace gate guard secretly said, "Which courtier's performance is this?" Why didn't you come in person, but ordered a family to send it? ”

At this time, the servant walked to the guard not far away and said, "The former Taifu Chen Fan, ordered the villain to come and present this piece to His Majesty. ”

"Later, I'll report it."

When the palace gate guards heard that it was the former Taifu Chen Fan's recital, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to report.

Although this Taifu Chen Fan was deposed because of the solar eclipse, when the emperor was in a coup d'état, he gave up Dou Wu, who had the grace of knowledge, and appeased the Taifu disciples to help the current emperor.

Although this act made a great Confucian despise, but the person he helped was the saint of today, and even if those great Confucians were dissatisfied, they did not say anything.

Compared with those great Confucians, those ministers of the court and the central government are much more realistic, Chen Fan is so helpful to today's saints, it can be said that he is from the ministers of the dragon, how can the ministers not stutter?

Now, even if Chen Fan is deposed, there are still many courtiers who often visit the door.

These can basically be said to be well-known things in Luoyang, how dare he, a small palace gate guard, snub Chen Fan's twists and turns?

After a while, the palace gate guard brought a little yellow door, and the little yellow door bowed slightly to the servant and said, "I don't know, does Old Lady Chen have something to explain?" If there is, please go into the palace with our family to face the saint, if not, please hand over the fold to our family, and our family will present it to His Majesty. (What did the ancient Little Yellow Gate call itself?) I don't want to be confused suddenly, and I want to know about it. ）

"The old man has not explained the words," the servant finished speaking, and handed the fold to the little yellow door, "so there is Father-in-law Lao." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Xiao Huangmen said humbly.

Then, Xiao Huangmen turned around and went back to the palace, and the servant also left.

On April 20 of the second year of Jianning, Liu Hong looked at Chen Fan's performance with a gloomy face.

After reading the recital, he shouted, "Li Hao, if the decree continues, I will go to the Chen Mansion immediately." ”

"No"

While Li Hao went out to make an order, he thought, "What's wrong with the emperor?" Could it be that Mrs. Chen offended the emperor? Won't you? If that's the case, just summon Mrs. Chen! ”

In feudal society, what officials must know and what they can't know is the same, that is, speculation about the holy will.

How many ministers have died in the past and present because of speculation about the divine will? Countless.

But there are still countless officials who are doing this, because once you can grasp the holy will correctly, then what awaits you is a supreme minister.

With Liu Hong's holy decree, the entire palace was busy, and it was not a simple matter for the emperor to travel, and how many armor soldiers accompanied him, the honor guards used needed to be taken into account.

Otherwise, what will be lost is the majesty of the Han Dynasty, after all, this is not the era when officials in later generations call themselves servants of the people.

When he was approaching, Liu Hong came to Chen Fan's mansion, and before he entered the door, he heard a cry from the backyard, Liu Hong's body shook slightly, and Li Hao hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Then Liu Hong no longer cared about the majesty of the emperor, picked up the imperial robe and ran towards the backyard.

Seeing this, Li Hao shouted at the people around him, "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't keep up yet. ”

After speaking, he hurriedly chased after Liu Hong, and secretly said in his heart as he ran: "It seems that Mrs. Chen is worthy of being the person that His Majesty relies on!" ”

At this time, if Li Hao still doesn't know the reason why Liu Hong came here, then he, the emperor's close attendant, should also be replaced.

As soon as Liu Honggang entered the backyard, Chen Fan's family greeted him with a big salute, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

"No need to be polite, how is the old lady?" Liu Hong waved his hand impatiently.

Chen Fan's eldest son, Chen Yi, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "My father is terminally ill, and the gods are incurable. ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he pushed Chen Yi away and walked towards the house, and Li Hao shouted when he saw this, "Your Majesty, don't, beware of getting sick into your body." ”

"Hmph" Liu Hong turned his head and glanced at Li Hao coldly, and said, "I am the true dragon emperor, what are you afraid of." ”

When Li Hao saw Liu Hong's cold eyes, he was so frightened that he hurriedly shut up.

Seeing this, Liu Hong strode into the house, only to see Chen Fan's chapped lips, his face pale, and lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

Liu Pet stepped forward and stretched out his hand to probe in front of Chen Fan's nose, and found that Chen Fan still had breath, so he said, "Taifu, Taifu." ”

"Huh?" Chen Fan opened his cloudy eyes and looked at the bedside, and found that it was Liu Hong, with a hint of brightness in his eyes.

Immediately, Chen Fan struggled to get up and wanted to salute, but was held down by Liu Hong.

"Taifu doesn't have to be polite, Taifu only needs to recuperate at ease at this time, don't think too much."

Chen Fan shook his head and said with difficulty, "Your Majesty, the minister originally wanted to help Your Majesty restore the glory of my Han Dynasty, but unfortunately the old minister's body was not angry, and he fell ill when His Majesty put down the rebellion in Qingzhou, and failed to give His Majesty any help, the minister is ashamed!" ”

"Taifu doesn't have to be like this, as long as Taifu sits peacefully in the Jingshi, I will feel at ease."

Liu Hong's words are not all comfort, there are a lot of poor officials promoted and reused by Chen Fan, and it can be said that nearly half of the imperial party at this time was promoted by Chen Fan.

As long as Chen Fan is still there, Liu Hong does not have to worry about major problems within the imperial party.

But now......

Chen Fan smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Your Majesty, you can't afford to be evaluated like this by Your Majesty!" ”

"Your Majesty, although the minister wrote and presented it to His Majesty, but it was not exhaustive, at this time, the minister said to His Majesty face to face."

Liu Hong's nose was sour when he heard this, and he opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything, so he could only nod.

"Your Majesty, punish the eunuchs, change the military system, and put down the rebellion. All of them show that you want to be a generation of Ming Jun and pass it on through the ages. However, when the minister was young, someone once said to the minister, if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world. The minister deeply thinks that if His Majesty wants to do the same thing as Emperor Wu to drive out the Huns, drive out Xianbei. The Han Dynasty must be rectified first, when Emperor Wu, the troubles of the family are not obvious, but at this time, the troubles of the family are like a sword on the head, which can shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty at any time. ”

"His Majesty has continued to confiscate the family's land as a policy of punishing the courtiers. The minister knew that His Majesty also knew that the biggest worry of the Han at this time was the land dispute between the family and the people. If Your Majesty doesn't deal with this matter, then there is nowhere to talk about expelling Xianbei! ”

However, if this matter needs to be resolved, it will not be effective for ten years, so the minister hopes that His Majesty can endure it for a while. Otherwise, the Han will be in turmoil! ”

At the end, Chen Fan's voice was loud, and his face became no different from ordinary people, and Liu Hong knew that this was a return to the light.

Thinking of it, Chen Fan, an old minister of the Three Dynasties, also offered advice to himself when he was dying, so as to protect the Han Dynasty. Liu Hong's heart was sour.

This is Chen Fan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will go!" The minister begged His Majesty to leave, not to see the unbearable face of the minister before his death. Let the last impression left by the minister in His Majesty's heart is that he is a loyal minister! ”

When Liu Hong heard this, a trace of mist appeared in his eyes, and then he nodded and turned to leave.

As soon as Liu Hong came out, Chen Yi walked in with his family.

In the courtyard, Liu Hong looked at the moon in the sky and said secretly, "The Han Dynasty, the founding of the country for four hundred years, during which the emperor was young and the ministers were in charge, there are countless things, but the Han can go to this day, and it is inseparable from the loyal ministers like Chen Fan." ”

At this time, there was a howling and crying sound in the room, and Li Hao whispered in Liu Hong's ear, "Mrs. Chen has gone." ”

Liu Hong closed his eyes, trying not to let the tears flow, and after a while, he said, "Li Hao is intended." ”

"No"

"The former Taifu Chen Fan, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, has experienced the disaster of the party, but he is still dedicated to the Han, and his heart can be expressed. Although due to the eclipse of the heavens' warning, he was dismissed and returned home. But his worries about the big man have not diminished. The height of the temple is worried about its people, and the distance of the rivers and lakes is worried about its monarch, so it is better than this, so his son Chen Yi is the Marquis of Gaoyang. (Guannei Hou, honored.) ）”
