Outside the gate of Qiankun Palace, a gray-haired eunuch and a small eunuch stood with their heads bowed on each side.

In the palace, Liu Yun, the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, stood in front of the bookcase, looking at Tang Shu, the current saint with his back to him. Both of them were thoughtful, without saying a word, and they could hear each other's breathing.

At this time, someone outside the door reported that the queen mother asked the emperor to watch the play.

When the emperor heard this, his brows, which had been frowning, were tightly locked.

"When her old man was listening to the play, did she ever think about the life and death of the people in Shuzhou City!" After a while, Emperor Tang Shu finally turned around and spoke, his tone was calm and almost indifferent.

When Liu Yun heard this, he immediately gave up his hand and said: "Things have developed to this point, and it is not what the Queen Mother and her old man want!" ”

"Not what she wanted?!" When the emperor heard this, his face became even more ugly, and he said angrily: "The ancestors of our dynasty have worked hard to control the floods of the Yangtze River, and they dare not slack off in our generation. However, this year's floods are ferocious and abnormal, and many people have been displaced and sick. He, Wang Maochang, dared to embezzle the imperial court's disaster relief silver! How dare you mix sand in disaster relief food! It's a loss of conscience! ”

"The emperor is angry!" Liu Yun bowed his head and said: "What Lord Wang did, don't be angry with the Queen Mother!" ”

"If it weren't for the queen mother's protection of her younger brother, if he Wang Maochang hadn't relied on the support of the queen mother, how could he have been greedy since he was a child and now unscrupulous, and he actually started the idea of disaster relief materials?!"

The emperor said this, picked up the fold on the bookcase, and threw it on the ground: "This fold was submitted in August by Shuzhou County!" What time is it? It's just in my hands! It's just a matter of favoritism and fraud on weekdays! This disaster relief material is related to the lives of the people of Shuzhou City! ……”

Liu Yun knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he had to stand there with his head down.

"It is imperative to go to Shuzhou this time, I want to see how far his Empress Dowager and his party have covered the sky!" The Emperor said again.

"I'm afraid that the people in Shuzhou are not living well and their lives are miserable now, why should the emperor go in person?" Liu Yun immediately arched his hand and said, "Please think twice!" ”

"I've made up my mind." After Tang Zhe finished speaking, he sat on the chair with a very tired look.

Seeing this, Liu Yun knew that no matter how he persuaded him, the emperor would not waver. only said: "This time, I will sacrifice my life to protect each other!" ”

To put it mildly, Liu Yun is not the most respected guard around the emperor, and he rarely intersects on weekdays, but in fact, it was just the emperor's deliberate attempt to hide people's eyes and ears.

In the past few years since the emperor ascended the throne, although the queen mother has delegated power on the surface, she has taken charge of politics behind her back, and she has exhausted all means to collect wealth for her mother's family.

At first, the emperor had always adopted an attitude of "turning a blind eye", allowing them to do what he did, and on the other hand, he kept his own eyes on himself, secretly observing who could become the people who could be used in the future.

If it weren't for the Queen Mother's "hands and feet" to grasp power and wealth stretched too long, he did not intend to cut it off, but later it intensified, and it developed to the point where the power is now intertwined and cannot be easily shaken.

As soon as Liu Yun said this, the emperor couldn't help but look at him, and saw him standing there with his hands arched, with a firm momentum of righteousness and hatred for the enemy, and his heart was greatly relieved.

I didn't see the wrong person.

Tang Shu perked up, stood up, walked up to Liu Yun, and whispered something. After saying that, he patted him on the shoulder, and walked towards the palace gate.

only heard the old eunuch's sentence "move to the crisp sound building", and Liu Yun got up to leave.
