Chapter 216: Lovers Liu Zheng
Seeing Shi Gao, Xiao Wangzhi, and Zhou Kan coming out of the emperor's bedroom, many kneeling officials greeted them one after another, and they all had anxious expressions on their faces without exception.
When it was believed that the emperor had died, the crowd suddenly burst into a burst of cries, and some even hit their heads on the ground and hammered the pillar with their hands.
Everyone knows that today's prince, that is, tomorrow's new emperor Liu Zheng, is famous for his filial piety.
Chen Wannian, the imperial historian, took advantage of people's inattention and grabbed Leling Marquis Shigao.
Shi Gao still had tears on his face, he didn't see clearly who was pulling him, and he was about to have a seizure, but when he saw that it was Chen Wannian, he was no longer angry. You must know that Chen Wannian has invested in Shi Gao, and his friendship is not shallow.
Chen Wannian didn't speak, just glanced at him.
The two really had a tacit understanding, Shi Gao actually knew what he meant, he just nodded lightly to Chen Wannian, with tears on his face, but there was a look of pride in his eyes.
Chen Wannian, an old slippery head in officialdom, got the answer he wanted from Shi Gao's eyes.
Years of blood had finally paid off, and he should have laughed out loud, but on such an occasion, he could only vent his feelings by crying loudly.
Other officials couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when they saw that Dr. Yu Shi was so sincere that they could only cry higher than the other, and almost collapsed the eaves of Weiyang Palace, but they didn't know that Brother Chen was excited that his years of hard work had finally paid off.
Liu Xun made a bureau for his son Liu Zheng to protect and assist his son to succeed smoothly and pro-government.
The people in the bureau are composed of Shi Gao, the prince and the prince Xiao Wangzhi, and the prince and the young master Zhou Kan.
Shi Gao is a relative, and his talent can only be said to be average, but Liu Xun trusts his relative, so he ranks first among the auxiliary ministers, Feng Da Sima, a general of the chariot cavalry, and controls the garrison of the capital.
The crown prince Xiao Wangzhi is a former general, Guangluxun is ranked second among the auxiliary ministers, and the young Fu Zhou Kan is the doctor of Guanglu, ranking third.
Xiao Wangzhi is talented and has high learning, outstanding governance ability, and was hidden by Liu Xun as early as the Wufeng period, and Liu Xun meant to leave Xiao Wangzhi to his son.
Liu Xun saw that he had many capable ministers and officials at that time, but most of them were almost half of their bodies into the ground. Only this Xiao Wangzhi, who is over fifty years old, is still quite tough, and theoretically it should be no problem to work for more than ten years, so he was demoted from the position of the imperial historian and demoted to the prince's side, which is the reason.
Although Zhou Kan does not have the prestige of Xiao Wangzhi, he is also a generation of famous Confucians, and he is also loyal and honest.
From all angles, Liu Xun's backgame is very clever.
Only ordinary relatives can grasp the military power, which can ensure that the imperial power will not be sidelined, at least to prevent another Huo Guang from appearing. The talented and talented minister is in charge of the work, and there is a loyal and honest person to supervise the reconciliation.
Liu Xun's abacus is like this, if the three of them can do their part, even if his son Liu Zheng is really muddy and can't support the wall, it doesn't matter, as long as he passes his term safely, and when his good grandson Liu Biao grows up and inherits the throne, everything can be improved.
In Liu Xun's eyes, his eldest grandson is extremely smart, at a young age, he was amazed by some of the words he said, and he even saw the shadow of Emperor Wu on Liu Ao's body.
Liu Xun actually knows Liu Zheng's problem, that is, he is too benevolent and weak, and it is not a big deal to be a prince and nobleman with such a character, but it is not suitable to be an emperor, and the example of Emperor Hui Liu Ying is the best proof of this. Liu Xun and Liu Zheng's concept conflict is not once or twice, otherwise he would not have thrown Liu Zheng to the unfavored Mrs. Wang for adoption, let alone angrily said "The bad man is the world, and the prince is also".
However, Liu Xun never had the idea of changing the crown prince. He was grateful for the kindness of his poor wife, Queen Xu, and he saw hope in Liu Biao.
However, Liu Xun will not know what will happen next, his good grandson will be completely disappointed, to be fair, Liu Biao is not even as good as his father.
Anyone who has seen Liu Zheng will probably be impressed, not only because he is the new emperor.
It's because Liu Zheng's health is too poor, and he is sick all the time, not like a young man in his twenties at all.
Poor health, and like to learn scriptures and righteousness, coupled with the loss of his mother at an early age, caused Liu Xiaoren's weak character.
Not only that, Liu Zheng is also a lover. When he was the crown prince, his favorite concubine Sima Liangdi was seriously ill, and Liu Zheng never left every day. When Sima Liangdi was dying, she left her last words saying that she did not die of illness, but was cursed to death by your other concubines.
Liu Zheng believed that it was true, and after Sima Liangdi's death, he hated his wife and concubines to death, and let them go, not allowing them to come to see him, and let the concubines cry their throats, he was unmoved.
Liu Zheng was disgusted with his wives, and refused to accept new concubines, holding the tablet of the dead Sima Liangdi in a daze all day long, talking to himself, or locked up in the study to play the piano, write, paint, stay for several days, stay at home, and sometimes even don't even eat. A few days later, Liu Zheng fell ill, and after being ill for a while, he finally got better, but Liu Zheng became the same again, often unable to give up and refused to see his wives.
If Liu Zheng was an ordinary reader, he would definitely become a good story at that time.
It's a pity that it's not, he is the crown prince and the heir of the entire Han Dynasty.
Big problem.
Even if he doesn't consider the identity of the crown prince, he has to consider the task of inheriting the Liu family.
Liu Zheng's situation was quickly reported to Liu Xun.
When Liu Xun heard this, this is not good, he now dreams of holding a grandson as soon as possible, and now he is counting on the crown prince Liu Zheng to do this soon.
He immediately found Queen Wang, who was Liu Zheng's adoptive mother, and hoped that she would find a way.
Queen Wang suggested that he choose a few more concubines, and the crown prince could only have about a dozen formal wives and concubines according to the regulations, but now the situation is special, so I can't care if it is overnumbered.
Just do what you say.
An edict went down, and five dignified and beautiful women from the palace of the official eunuch in the capital were brought to the prince's mansion.
The girls were brought to the crown prince Liu Zheng, who was practicing calligraphy, and Liu Zheng was sitting cross-legged on the ground, drinking wine and making ink. The father-in-law who introduced him explained that this was the queen's meaning, and wanted the prince to choose one, and then he reported to the queen.
Liu Zheng glanced at it hurriedly, didn't even see his face clearly, lowered his head again, and continued to practice his words.
Now he has no interest in women at all, and he is a little disgusted, as long as he closes his eyes, he will want to love the grief and tears of the concubine when he is dying, followed by a sting in his heart, now he is called to choose a concubine, how can he have that thought.
The father-in-law on the side quietly waited for Liu Zheng's instructions, but after waiting for a long time with his eyes dropped, Liu Zheng didn't say why.
He flatteringly bowed his head and asked which one the prince liked?
Liu Zheng was upset, and was about to scold Yaxing who had disturbed him, but when he thought that he was a Confucian disciple and should be courteous, he sighed and said, "There is one." I saw that he didn't raise his head, but raised his hand and pointed at it.
The finger landed on a woman who was wearing a different color from the other women, and was close to her.
The father-in-law said happily, "Is it really her?" ”
Liu Zheng was annoyed by them, so he nodded, and the father-in-law led the girls away.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zheng pointed to it casually, but pointed out a queen mother of the four dynasties, and pointed out a big family with power over the world and ruined the Han family.
This woman's name is Wang Zhengjun. His grandfather Wang He was the emperor of embroidery when Emperor Wu, and there were tens of thousands of people who picked up a life in his hands, and Wang He said, "I have released so many people, and my descendants will prosper!" ”
Now this sentence has begun to be confirmed.
What's even more incredible is that although Liu Zheng doesn't like this Wang Zhengjun, he made a miracle to let Wang Zhengjun sleep, and the sleeping is not wonderful, the wonderful thing is that Liu Zhengjun, who has been childless for many years, actually made Wang Zhengjun pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy, this baby boy is the natural heir to the throne, the emperor's eldest grandson Liu Wei.
