Volume 2: Mountains Have Trees and Trees Have Branches Ninety-one: Frontier
She once again carefully looked at this famous male pet in the history of Emperor Hui's period.
In all fairness, this teenager is very beautiful. His beauty is not the same as Ruyi's beauty. Ruyi is a kind of exquisite, childish, and amiable. And Hong Ru's beauty is a kind of weakness and pitiful to others.
Zhang Yan's eyes were a little complicated when she looked at him.
If there is no accident, this servant Lang official will become the favored person of the emperor's uncle, and he will be passed on to the fortunate family, tied to the name of Emperor Hui, and will be passed down forever.
Under her gaze, Hong Ru was a little puzzled, looked down at herself, and found that there was nothing wrong, so she asked, "Mrs. Zhang, what's wrong with you?" His eyes were slightly dazed and shy.
"Nothing." Zhang Yan sighed and looked away.
In the Han generation, it was a common thing to play and prostitute children, and the upper-class magnates and princes raised one or two boys in the mansion, just like eating and drinking, and it would not make the people feel that it was a strange thing.
However, Zhang Yan thought about linking that beautiful young man with Liu Ying, and couldn't help but tremble, and a thin layer of goosebumps appeared on her arms.
She couldn't feel normal.
"Chang Liu," Zhang Yan took a step behind, and turned back to the imperial front general pipe, "Shicai's Hong Ru, what position is there now?" ”
"Well," Chang Lu replied, "he is the son of a good family in the suburbs of Chang'an, and he has specially appointed him as a servant to do praise and guidance in the Xiangguo Official Office." ”
So, if the emperor's uncle occasionally goes to the Prime Minister's Office, is it still possible to meet him?
"You," she thought for a moment as she clasped her sleeves with her fingers, "think of a way to get him away so that he won't have a chance to see His Majesty, can you?" ”
"Why," Chang Lu said in surprise. "Is there anything wrong with him?"
"Not really, it's just ...... I always had a bad feeling. ”
What kind of reason is this, Chang Lu was slightly dissatisfied, but when he thought of the emperor receiving her favor today, he was grateful in his heart, and he didn't even give this thin face.
She wanted to get into the palace car, but suddenly turned around and said, "It's better to-"
Fu was discouraged again, "Forget it." Remember, don't be too him. ”
Chang Lu couldn't understand her capriciousness. Standing on the road with a smile and watching the palace car go away, he turned around and ordered, "From tomorrow." Let Hong Shizhong go to Tianlu Pavilion to pick up the missing books and fill in the gaps. ”
"No."
In the palace car, Zhang Yan put her hands on her knees and bumped along the road. Actually, she is still a little uneasy about Hong Ru, as long as he is still in Weiyang Palace. Liu Ying is still likely to bump into him. Shicai, she originally wanted to find an excuse to take away Hong Ru's position as a servant and send her out of Weiyang Palace, which was a hundred better. However, this is not something that Chang Liu, the former head of the palace, can call the shots. For a moment, she had an impulse to act in the name of Empress Lu, then everything was simple.
It's just that. She advised Liu Ying to strengthen the emperor's authority in the Weiyang Palace to fight against the Empress Dowager Lu. In an instant, even he relied on the Empress Dowager Lu to act as a substitute in Weiyang Palace. That's a disagreement.
Even, she alerted herself, whether she was in her heart, she also faintly acquiesced to this fact, in the Weiyang Palace where the emperor lived. Empress Dowager Lu's authority was unimpeded and unscrupulous.
Then, she brushed her sideburns. Do your best, let it be the fate of heaven.
The emperor who had been "sick" for a whole season finally recovered, and above the court, after the three princes and nine kings bowed up again, they looked at the emperor sitting on the top, and discussed the country in an orderly manner.
After the court discussion, Liu Ying left Xiao He alone.
"These days, it's hard work for Xiao Xiangguo."
"Hehe, serving the country, how dare the old minister say that it is hard." Xiao He coughed a few times with his sleeves covered, and his voice was slightly depressed.
"What," Liu Ying said with concern, "Is Xiangguo not in good health?" ”
Xiao He was slightly gloomy, "Since the beginning of autumn, it has always been a little bad." Don't mention the old minister, but Your Majesty, who has just recovered from a serious illness, has to take care of it. ”
Liu Ying showed a slight embarrassment on her face and said, "I know." ”
Xiao He secretly looked at the emperor, saw that his eyes were clear, and he had recovered the sharpness he had when he first ascended to the pole, he was greatly relieved and said with a smile, "That's it, it's good." ”
Liu Ying put down the chapter in his hand, "Xiangguo is in serious health, and the plan at the beginning of the year is cumbersome, so it is better to ask someone to do it for you." When Xiangguo recovers from his illness, I will continue to rely on it. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your favor."
"So, which minister does Xiao Xiangguo think is suitable to lead the affairs of the plan?"
"Huainan Prime Minister Zhang Cang is careful and steady, and he is up to this post."
"Zhang Cang?" Liu Ying deducted the case, shook her head and said, "No." The king of Huainan is still young, and he must be assisted by capable ministers in order to stabilize Huainan. ”
Xiao He smiled bitterly, this emperor is really a friendly brother to a certain extent. "It's just that, with Zhang Cang's ability, it's a pity to only let it go to the locality."
"We'll talk about it in a few years."
When he left the propaganda room, Xiao He suddenly turned around and bowed from afar, "Your Majesty has recovered from a serious illness, and all civil and military officials are extremely pleased." ”
Liu Ying was stunned and said with a smile, "I know." ”
Xiao He was telling him that for civil and military officials, the emperor and the queen mother were different.
The Queen Mother, because she is the emperor's mother, is noble. However, the master of this big man, after all, is the emperor and not the queen mother.
They hoped that the emperor would be able to hold real power, not the empress dowager to lead state affairs.
If one day, there will inevitably be a conflict between the imperial power and the queen power, then the court officials will stand on the emperor's side.
The imperial power is extremely noble, but the courtiers also have the choice of courtiers, and once, they abandoned Mrs. Qi and chose Empress Lu and the crown prince. Then, now they once again choose to stand on Liu Ying's side and fight against Empress Dowager Lu in Changle Palace.
Because the government had been abandoned for too long, the chapters from all over the country were piled up into a thick hill on the bookcase in the Xuanshu Palace, Liu Ying buried his head in reading, and suddenly his mood was agitated, and he put down the bamboo slips in his hand and called loudly, "Zhang Kai." ”
"Your Majesty." Zhang Kai stepped forward to pay respects.
"As soon as the first ceremony of the year is over, you go to Xiangguo's Mansion to help Xiao Xiangguo preside over the plan."
"Your Majesty," Zhang Kai was stunned and said reluctantly, "the minister is defenseless and cannot serve the public." ”
Liu Ying shook her head and said, "If it's just the reason for the official position, isn't it simple?" I can get rid of you as a doctor immediately. ”
"How?" He stared at Zhang Kai, who was silent, and said lightly, "Or, do you want to be in this obscure service for the rest of your life?" ”
"I remember," he said suddenly, "there is still half a month." You're going to be crowned. ”
Zhang Kai bowed again, "Yes." ”
Men over twenty are crowned to show adulthood. In the autumn and September of the first year, it was Zhang Kai's twentieth birthday.
"Did the Marquis pick up a word for you?"
"Not yet."
"So," Liu Ying smiled suddenly, "I'll give you a word." ”
"Your Majesty." Zhang Kai was finally stunned, crying and laughing.
Generally speaking, men's expressions are written by respected elders, and the name of Zhang Kai's eldest brother Zhang Budo was given by Emperor Gao. Although it was given by the emperor. It's an honor, but Liu Ying is only eighteen years old now. is two years younger than Zhang Kai, and he has not yet been crowned.
He then felt anxious in his heart, praying in his heart that this young emperor, who pretends to be old and stable all day long, and rarely shows his naughty heart once, will not be too prominent, and give himself a strange expression.
That's going to follow you for the rest of your life.
Liu Ying took the brocade silk. The waiter stepped forward to sharpen the ink, he lifted the pen and hung his wrist, quickly finished writing, and after drying it, he handed it to Zhang Kai, and said with a smile, "Do you want to take a look?" ”
Zhang Kai unfolded the silk book. I couldn't help but be stunned.
There are two big seal characters written on it: Bijiang.
Emperor Hui's temperament has always been gentle, and his calligraphy is also in the middle of the show, but these two words are written very coldly. It seems to have a killing atmosphere.
In an instant, Zhang Kai's heart swelled with blood.
That is Liu Ying's ambition. Also, what he expects of himself.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the most important military merit was the most important, and the high military merit was nothing more than opening up the territory. Liu Ying is looking forward to being able to precursor his ambitions. Establish a frontier and open up the territory, and make immortal achievements.
He looked up at Liu Ying.
"There is no doubt about the position of the marquis." Liu Ying looked directly at him and promised, "I will not change. However, I hope that you will be able to use your talents to create a new throne. ”
"I won't be suspicious, but I want you to open up territory for me."
September, Ding Chen Day
Yousi handed over the cloth crown, Xiao He put it on for him, and wished, "On the auspicious day of the month, the first plus yuan is served, and the young character is abandoned, and Shun Er becomes virtuous." Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. "After worshipping, enter the east room to change clothes, add a leather crown, and wish, "Jiyue Lingchen, Naisher clothes, respect Erweiyi, Shushen Erde." Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and will always be blessed by Hu. Sanjia Jue Ben, wished: "With the righteousness of the year, with the order of the month." Salty gar suit. The brothers are there, in order to become a virtue, Huang Lao has no borders, and he is celebrated by the sky. ”
After the crown ceremony ended, Xiao He smiled and said, "Bijiang, Your Majesty has great expectations for you, you don't want to live up to the emperor's grace." ”
Zhang Kai bowed again, "No." ”
When he was a teenager, he also studied fencing skills hard, and then due to various setbacks, he changed his style and elegance, and studied articles in the study, when the name of Yan Yin's son moved Chang'an, the blood in his chest was hidden in the snow for too long.
He turned around and saw his brother.
Zhang Budo stood on the side, looking at him from a distance, his eyes were magical.
In it, there is pride, loss, joy, and resentment.
He smiled and walked out of the temple.
Forgive me, brother.
When he passed by, he looked directly into Zhang Budo's eyes, and for the first time, he didn't back down.
I will always respect you as my brother, but I really can't let my life go by because of you.
On that day, in the Xuanshu Palace, His Majesty questioned me, you are courteous to your brother, is it filial piety. What about your friend's love and loyalty to your country?
I can't answer.
Actually, the reason why I really can't refuse Your Majesty is that we are all people who share the same disease.
He wandered between the responsibilities of a strong mother and an emperor, and finally came out. So, brother, is it time to find a break between you and me, who is wandering between you and my ideals?
He's also my best friend anyway.
When he walked out of the temple, Zhang Kai, who was pierced by the skylight, narrowed his eyes slightly. Then he saw the beautiful maiden at the foot of the stairs.
******************
The official position of the servant is a position that has changed greatly in history. In the Qin official system, the servant was an additional official, a subordinate official of the prime minister, in charge of picking up and filling in the gaps, praising the guide, accompanying the passengers, taking the seal out of the seal, and taking care of the emperor's daily life. At most times, it can reach dozens of people.
Many times, in order to allow the emperor's relatives to enter and leave the forbidden center, the emperor will give them this additional official. But there are also civilians who are recruited because of their special talents, and Sang Hongyang served as a waiter at the age of 13 during the Han Dynasty. Huo Qubing also served as the servant of the Son of Heaven.
Therefore, although they are both waiters, Hong Ru at this time is a small shrimp. And Zhang Kaimo basically belongs to the emperor's special gift.
