Chapter 107: The Old Emperor's Thoughts

During the Dragon Boat Festival, a unique barbecue dinner was held in his yard, and the rice dumplings were eaten on the morning of the second day. No one knows how to wrap zongzi, they are bought from the morning market, and when they are bought, they are baskets, and the female guards who are not on duty are scrambling one by one.

Eating is also often the busiest time in the house.

Liu Yu had breakfast and was going to the palace on an errand day, and the three-day inspection would last until the afternoon. With the experience of the last time, Liu Yu had already figured out the route, but Yang Lie still needed to accompany him, and in the few days that Liu Yu was in charge, Yang Lie could not rest for a day.

Seeing Yang Lie, Liu Yu first asked about the latest progress of the eradication of the Xingqing Society, roughly Jingzhao Mansion was busy all night, searching the secret strongholds of the Xingqing Society in the whole city, many halls were ended, seeing such a big action of the imperial court, the activities of the Xingqing Society have also been curtailed a lot, and they no longer dare to come out to make trouble since last night.

The inspection is still done step by step, and the work of recording the calendar is handed over to Yang Lie, and the submission of the calendar is also done by Yang Lie. What Yang Lie accomplished was exactly the errand that Liu Yu, the right commander, wanted to complete. The inspection is not more than halfway, suddenly there is a person from the Royal Forest Army sent a letter from Longyou to present to the emperor urgently, according to the rules of the Royal Forest Army, only the commander above the level can play the emperor, Liu Yue did not dare to open it, but also knew that it was the president of the Royal Forest Army He Mao played.

Liu Yu could only temporarily stop the inspection and enter the palace first to present the recital. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Han Sheng, who was about to face the saint, Han Sheng leaned over and reminded in a low voice while no one was passing by: "The emperor should answer carefully when he asks questions." ”

Han Sheng's hint was not clear, Liu Yue understood that there were some things that Han Sheng was inconvenient to say, he was already a family, and he also deliberately reminded him to pay attention.

Liu Yu and Han Sheng met the emperor in the Yaqian Hall together, and the emperor looked heavy after reading He Mao's recital, and sighed: "I didn't expect the second child to suffer so much after being away for many years. Alas! ”

Liu Yu and Han Sheng didn't dare to speculate on what kind of hardship the second prince Su Dian had suffered, but they thought that life would not be easy in the future, and it was a great luck to be alive.

The old emperor smiled and said: "Wen Yan, Commander He will be able to return to Chang'an tomorrow, and you won't have to work so hard then." ”

Liu Yu hurriedly said something about the scene of "worrying about the king", the old emperor may be very happy to see his long-lost son, whether it was the eldest brother killed by Su Dian at the beginning, in the past so many years, in the eyes of a father who is about to enter the earth, no matter how big the mistake is, he will be forgiven. The old emperor asked Liu Yu some of his experiences on errands in the past few days, and Liu Yu responded one by one, and the emperor also showed his respect for him.

After asking about the errand, the old emperor suddenly said meaningfully: "Wen Yan, I heard that King Yu worships you as a master, and it was you who single-handedly helped King Yu up." What do you think of him as a person? ”

Liu Yu was stunned, it's hard to say.

"Back to the emperor, the ministers and King Yu have been getting along for a long time, although King Yu is occasionally stubborn, but he is sincere. If you do great things, your ability may not be as good. ”

If it's not easy to say, just tell the truth, as long as it's not particularly praising or depreciating, the emperor, who is a father, can listen to it. After all, it was a father's questioning of his son's teacher, and most of the ingredients were asking for opinions.

The old emperor nodded and said: "Speaking of which, King Yu is also my son-in-law, and he has suffered a lot in the past few years, and he is also stubborn without Mr. by his side, please ask Wen Yan to mention him more." ”

It is rare for the emperor to look at it, Liu Yu has to show a sincere look of fear and say: "The minister should do his best." ”

To say that the emperor would not suddenly come to ask him about Su Yan, there was no need for Han Sheng to use this matter to remind him to pay attention, Liu Yuxin said that the emperor's words should have a later text.

Sure enough, the emperor paused and asked again: "I wonder how much Wen Yan knows about King Chu?" ”

Don't ask others, just ask the king of Chu, Liu Yu is still very entangled in his heart, the reason why he is entangled is because he has shown a kind of hostility towards those unknown people, and it is precisely the seventh prince Su Zhe who is a deep person, and he is the favorite successor of the old emperor. If this is not said well, the consequences will be serious.

There are two consequences, one is to lose trust, and the other is to be retaliated against after Su Zhe ascends the throne.

"Back to the emperor, the minister has no relationship with the king of Chu, only knows that the king of Chu is loyal and low-key, and he often has dealings with foreign ministers. Other ......" Liu Yue thought about the wording, and if he didn't understand, he should comment less, "The minister really doesn't know." ”

It was rare for the old emperor to smile and nod after hearing this, and agreed with his statement.

Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he understood that the reason why Su Zhe would become the best candidate to succeed to the throne was because he was forbearant and had no strong relatives. Once such a person gains power, he can endure being suppressed when the enemy is strong and I am weak, and once he has the opportunity, the energy that bursts out is also very terrifying. In short, the King of Chu was selected by the princes, and his personality was the most suitable to fight with the King of Huai.

The rest of the princes and princesses are too focused on conspiracies and are easily disturbed by external factors, Su Bi is strong, Su Ren is conceited and Su Yi is cowardly and likes to play clever, all of which are easy to be taken advantage of by King Huai. As for Su Yan, there is no chance of being included in the candidate list of the prince at this time.

The old emperor Zhengse said: "Wenyan, you also know that the drought in Guanzhong has not been encountered for decades, and the granaries in Guanzhong are tight, and the people will be displaced when there is no harvest of summer grain." I will send a few kings and princesses to Shandong and Huaixi to collect grain for a generation......"

Speaking of which, all the news is no different from what Liu Yu knew before.

The emperor suddenly changed his words: "The king of Chu is too cautious on weekdays, and he doesn't have much contact with his courtiers, so I'm afraid there is no one around him for this trip." I don't know if Wen Yan is willing to accompany the King of Chu to this experience? ”

Liu Yu was immediately stunned, a little flattered, but more suspicious.

The emperor didn't let him accompany Su Yan, but instead asked him to accompany Su Zhe, which clearly trusted him and wanted to train him to become Su Zhe, the confidant of the future prince.

Why does the emperor attach so much importance to Liu Yu, a new officialdom, in three aspects.

First, because of his indisputable personality on weekdays, even if he gains power in the future, he will not threaten the orthodoxy of the imperial lineage; secondly, because of his ability to defy the sky in the battle of Kwai Shui, and because of the ability to defy the sky, Su Yan was cultivated step by step from a small gangster to be independent; Third, the emperor also values his identity, with his father Dingguo Marquis behind him, his wife is the commander of his daughter's army, and he is supported by practical people such as Sui Yi and Li Mi.

Combining the three points, pushing Liu Yu to Su Zhe is much more effective than dozens of ministers who can only play lip service.

Liu Yu could even guess that once he got close to Su Zhe, no matter who he used in the future, he would be reused by the emperor. This is to cultivate the power of the future prince. Thinking about it this way, the old emperor should have had this plan after the Battle of Kwai Shui, but he only proposed it today.

Han Sheng's reminder is also because of this.

Liu Yu understood the trick, and did not dare to disobey the old emperor's wishes, and said: "Although the minister has no friendship with the king of Chu, if the emperor sends a minister to accompany the king of Chu on this trip, he should do his best." ”

The old emperor was very satisfied with Liu Yu's answer, and his smile became a little kinder. But in Liu Yu's heart, he didn't have the slightest good impression of this gloomy King of Chu. For the courtiers of such people, they may not know how to die in the future.
