Chapter 62: The Envoys
As soon as the old eunuch heard this, he hurriedly went down to do it.
The little emperor was anxious in his heart, wanting to know what kind of ecstasy soup Zhang Zhenglu would give the Empress Dowager what kind of ecstasy soup he would be used to, but he had to wait patiently and quietly for the time to come.
When the little emperor heard Zhang Zhenglu's words of reversing black and white in the empress dowager's bedroom, Liu Jun also got the news.
Liu Zitao felt that his teeth couldn't help it a little when he heard this, and he was about to bite the teeth inside, but Liu Jun was still able to hold it.
"Lord, the Empress Dowager is jealous of you, this is something that everyone knows, but Zhang Zhenglu took advantage of this loophole, and now he is so smeared with the Empress Dowager, you make people feel that you are in power, and you bewitch the sacred heart, I feel wronged for you."
Looking at Liu Zitao's face, which was not white, was a little red because of anger, Liu Jun felt a little funny.
"Even if Zhang Zhenglu goes to smear me, what can he do?"
"The Empress Dowager has been jealous of you many times, and now that she knows that the emperor listens to you so much, it is very likely that he will find a way to get rid of you."
Liu Zitao lowered his voice and told Liu Jun in a low voice.
"No, it won't."
Liu Jun is very confident in this, so he denies it very firmly, Liu Zitao wants to raise his doubts, but when he thinks of the words, he feels that he has asked Liu Jun too many questions during this time.
It's not at all like an agent with excellent traits.
"Now that Zhang Zhenglu is in the court, it can be regarded as a monopoly on power, and I am also quite a means, the Empress Dowager is afraid of me, but she is afraid that I will bewitch the emperor's sacred heart, and I will do things according to my own likes and dislikes, and it is not impossible for me to sit on that dragon chair when the time comes."
"But that's just a guess, after all, I also have the last emperor's will on my body, the empress dowager doesn't dare to gamble, not to mention that if the empress dowager finds a way to get rid of all the power in my court, it will fall into the hands of Zhang Zhenglu, a foreign minister, and the empress dowager will not agree."
Also.
The Empress Dowager's personality is so suspicious, how could she let Liu Jun fall from power? Let Zhang Zhenglu hold the power alone?
After figuring out the stakes, Liu Jun's tone was a little looser.
"So what should we do next?"
"In the past few days, Zhang Zhenglu has appeased the people, and there should be a lot of money spent."
"It's really a lot, and Zhang Zhenglu still shouts poor every day, it is estimated that the expenses this time also make the family big, and he can't bear it."
Can't afford it?
Liu Jun just hasn't checked Zhang Zhenglu's account books yet, and now he has put it on the surface is already a lot of money, and he doesn't know how much there is behind the darkness.
"Hmph, Zhang Zhenglu, if it's only a few days and you can't bear it, then there won't be many rich people in our country."
At first, Liu Zitao didn't understand why Liu Jun would say such a thing, but later.
After several days, Zhang Zhenglu never mentioned in the court that his family was about to be unable to bear this matter, but he had been wholeheartedly appeasing the people.
Gu Qingshan watched the money in Zhang Zhenglu's house spend it like flowing water, and he felt a little distressed.
"I have to say, Zhang Zhenglu is really rich."
Gu Qingshan said as he touched his heart with his hand.
"If my family spends money at this rate, it will definitely go bankrupt in less than five days."
Liu Jun stood next to Gu Qingshan, watching him stand on the top of the city wall and look down with low eyebrows.
Logically speaking.
A normal official family will definitely have money in the family, but in the past few days, there are more and more refugees, and there are more and more people receiving relief money.
"Father-in-law, I have something I want to ask you for help with."
"If you have anything to say, the regent might as well say it directly!"
Although Liu Jun's unmarried is indeed on himself, but the other party is his son-in-law, Gu Qingshan's most important thing is etiquette and shame.
So he didn't salute Liu Jun, and asked generously.
"Now the business is getting worse and worse, and our Dahua is not even enough to supply our own country, how can we still supply it to the outside?"
"It's about to be winter now, we have just lost the war, and if we pay tribute to other countries at this time, our people will inevitably suffer from freezing this year."
This is also Gu Qingshan's most sorrowful thing in recent days, the army of the Liao State has already been overwhelmed.
"To tell you the truth, I have already received the news that the Liao State has begun to feel safe overnight, and intends to negotiate with us, after all, we have lost the battle, I am afraid that there will be some places where the waist pole is not worth it......"
Gu Qingshan is already an old minister of the two dynasties.
Thinking of the country he was guarding with all his heart, now that he had lost the battle, it was very likely to become something in the hands of others, Gu Qingshan could not help but speak with sadness, and his tone was also full of sorrow.
"The envoy is already here?"
"It's coming."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a sudden sound of horses neighing.
Then, I saw a red-maned fiery horse stop under the city gate, and when I looked up, Liu Jun's direction changed and jumped off the horse directly.
Liu Zitao......
The other party was wearing Qilin Wei's clothes, and Gu Qingshan almost didn't recognize who this was.
"Lord Wang, Lord Gu, the emperor is urgently calling!"
At the hour of a pillar of incense, Gu Qingshan and Liu Junbian had already gone to the palace.
"Go to the Ziwei Palace?"
Although Gu Qingshan is a minister, it is a common thing in the last dynasty, but he has never been to the Empress Dowager's Ziwei Palace.
When I saw the direction of this road, I felt that something was not right, so I asked my father-in-law next to me.
My father-in-law, who had been walking fast forward, slowly stopped.
"Your Majesty, you are now in the Empress Dowager's dormitory, so let the servants bring you two directly there."
"Oh."
Gu Qingshan put his hand behind his back and agreed as if he didn't understand, but his eyes kept looking in the direction of Liu Jun.
"Lord, the emperor suddenly summoned us, and we asked the palace people to take us to Ziwei Palace, what do you think this means?"
"The emperor must have his own considerations when he does this, and he only knows when he goes."
As soon as he walked into the crape myrtle hall, Liu Jun smelled a strange fragrance coming to his face.
The Empress Dowager didn't know what she was talking to the emperor, and as soon as she saw Liu Jun coming, she immediately withdrew her eyes.
sat in a high position and gave the little emperor an expression.
"See the Empress Dowager, see the Emperor."
Gu Qingshan shouted loudly and knelt down, and Liu Jun next to him only bowed slightly.
"The emperor specially asked you two to come, do you know why?"
