Two days later, the apse of the Chongde Palace.

Liu Wei reviewed the manuscript one by one, and worked intensively for two consecutive days.

As the end of the year approached, various matters became urgent, and there were more and more things that he needed to deal with.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Yu came in with a bunch of music and put it next to Liu Wei's desk.

Liu Wei glanced at it and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Yu hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, it's about borrowing, the prime minister and Hu Cao have been busy with this these days, and they have repaid part of it, and some of them have agreed to be extended." ”

Liu Wei's eyebrows widened a little, and he said with a smile: "The prime minister's affairs are still reassuring to me." ”

Lu Yu stood on the side, his head bowed, his face calm.

Liu Wei read a few words and said, "If you have something to say, say it." ”

Lu Yu looked up at Liu Wei, hesitated, and said, "Your Majesty, there are some rumors from the government and the opposition. ”

Liu Wei picked up the next one and said with a smile: "What are they?" ”

Lu Yu hesitated more and more, but still said: "Some say that Your Majesty wants to merge Jiuqing into Liucao, some say that Cao Cao wants to succeed the Great Sima, and some say that Fuzhong Cheng will be transferred to the prime minister......"

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, shook his head with a smile, and said, "There are really too many smart people in this Luoyang City. ”

Lu Yu saw that Liu Wei was not angry, so he calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to play and suppress it?" ”

Liu Wei continued to review and said, "Ignore him." How's the investigation going on in the Huangmen North Temple Prison? ”

Lu Yu said: "It hasn't been played yet, Weichen heard that he has arrested a lot of people." is too learned, Hongdu Menxue is quite noisy over there, and Bian is too often on leave. ”

Liu Wei glanced at the recital in front of him, flipped through it, raised his head with some doubts, and said, "Bian Rang didn't write a letter to ask for guilt?" ”

Lu Yu paused and said, "Weichen didn't see Bian Taichang's recital. ”

Liu Wei's expression moved, and then he smiled more and said, "That's interesting." Tell Zuo Li, check slowly, and clean up Taixue and Hongdumen for me. ”

Lu Yu responded, waited for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, there is still no one to take over from the Three Law Divisions." ”

According to the rules of the imperial court, this matter should be the responsibility of Xing Cao or Yu Shitai, but both institutions are obviously deliberately evading.

Liu Wei looked at the notebook in his hand, pondered for a while, and said, "Go, call the King of Bohai to see me." ”

"Yes." Lu Yu said.

As soon as Lu Yu withdrew a few steps, Pan Yin walked in quickly and handed over a notebook.

Liu Wei stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and took a look, showing a hint of discoloration on his face.

This Qingzhou Mu Zhu Jun's recital, he recommended Beihai Xiangkong to integrate into the dynasty.

This Kong Rong is also a famous artist in the world and has a decisive influence in the literary world.

After pondering for a moment, Liu argued: "Let it go first, put Wang Lang, and the drama will come to see me." ”

Pan Yin responded, turned around and saw that Lu Yu was still at the door, and said, "Your Majesty, is the King of Bohai together?" ”

Liu Wei read it casually, kept writing, and said, "Hmm." By the way, the decree was sent to Jiangdong, and Wu Jing took Sun Ce and Zhou Yu into Beijing. ”

"Yes." Pan Yin responded and slowly retreated.

Liu Wei continued to review, although these big and small matters are complicated, but with the subsidiary opinions of Liu Cao and Yang Biao, it is not difficult to deal with them.

After a while, Liu Xie came from the Yushitai to the outside of the apse.

Lu Yu stood outside the door, raised his hand at Liu Xie and said, "I've seen the King of Bohai." ”

Liu Xie and Lu Yu were of the same age, nodded, stretched out his head to look inside, and said in a low voice: "Is there something wrong with Your Majesty's edict?" ”

Lu Yu said: "Your Highness, wait a minute, Your Majesty also summoned the Imperial History of the Drama and the Wang Shilang. ”

Liu Xie's heart moved slightly, seeing that he was not in a hurry, he was silent for a moment, and said, "I heard that Da Sima is going to summon all the generals to Beijing for deliberations?" ”

Lu Yu looked at Liu Xie, his face was calm, and he said, "I don't know." ”

Liu Xie wanted to ask about Hongdu Menxue, but after hesitating, he still sighed secretly and didn't ask.

The early struggle for the throne was a thorn in the hearts of everyone in the government and the opposition.

Liu Xie has been low-key in recent years, and the Empress Dowager Dong has stayed at home, and all kinds of impeachment voices have gradually subsided. But this does not mean that the palace has really let go of 'mustard'.

Once Liu Xie makes a mistake, doing more or saying more may lead to death!

As the son of the first emperor and the younger brother of the emperor, seeing the wind and rain in the Han Dynasty, he has the heart to do things, but he has many scruples.

Lu Yu just bowed to the side, and had no intention of talking to Liu Xie.

Lu Yu is thirteen years old this year, and he has no official position in the palace, but he assumes the role of 'guarding the palace order', shuttling between Shangshutai and Chongde Palace.

After a while, Xi Zhicai and Wang Lang arrived.

Seeing that Liu Xie was already waiting, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, wondering why the palace suddenly summoned the three of them at the same time.

"It's all here."

At this time, Liu Wei, who was dressed in regular clothes, walked out, looked at the three of them and smiled.

"Your Majesty, Ministers." The three of them raised their hands in unison.

"No courtesy." Liu Wei waved his hand, walked out, stood in front of the steps, looked at the somewhat drowsy sky, and said, "It seems that it is going to snow again." ”

Liu Xie, Xi Zhicai, Wang Lang and Lu Yu all turned around, stood behind Liu Wei, and followed to look at the sky.

Both the government and the opposition know that His Majesty loves snow today, and whenever it snows, he likes to walk in the snow with an umbrella.

He only likes to walk in the snow, unlike those who love snow, drinking tea, drinking and writing poems, he likes it very simply.

Liu Wei put his hands behind his back, looked at the sky, and was silent for a long time.

After a while, Liu Xie and the others glanced at each other, but Liu Xie raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, summon the ministers and wait, but there is an instruction?" ”

Liu Wei glanced back at them and said with a smile: "Wait, Shao'er is on the way here." ”

Everyone was stunned again, muttering in their hearts.

Today's events are related to His Highness?

Perhaps thinking of something, the faces of several people changed suddenly, and they frowned secretly.

Not long after, Cai Wenji led Liu Shao to come.

The little guy is three years old, and he looks pink, white and tender, and his eyes are clear, which is very pleasing.

But unlike his younger brother Liu Yu, who is mischievous, Liu Shao doesn't seem to like to talk very much, and is mostly silent.

Cai Wenji looked much plumper than before, came to the front, and saluted: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty." Liu Shao's courtesy is very cute.

Liu Wei walked down, picked him up, patted the dust on his body, and said, "Where did this come from, covered in dirt." ”

Liu Shao looked at Liu Wei, blinked, and didn't speak.

Cai Wenji stood aside and hurriedly said softly: "I accidentally fell on the road." ”

Liu Wei couldn't see that this was not a fall, and he suddenly knew in his heart, and said with a smile: "Be careful next time, go, and accompany my father to Fanglin Garden." ”

The little guy was very well-behaved, silent, and grabbed Liu Wei's arm with both hands.

Liu Xie, Xi Zhicai, and Wang Lang looked at this family of three, and there was always a bad premonition in their hearts.

The matter of 'establishing an heir' has always been a top priority for the government and the opposition. But because Wang Yun's matter is in the past, very few people dare to mention it.

But not mentioning it does not mean that the government and the opposition do not care or give up.

Once there is any disturbance, the 'heir' will definitely be in the dust, overpowering all big and small things!

Liu Wei hugged Liu Shao and said to Cai Wenji: "I heard that the national ruler has returned to Beijing?" ”

Cai Wenji pursed her lips, lowered her head a little cautiously and said, "Yes." My father's health was not very good, and the concubine thought that he should stay in Beijing to recuperate and not go out to study. ”

Liu Wei nodded indifferently and said, "In a few days, we will have a family banquet, and I will have a good chat with the national master." ”

Cai Wenji breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine will arrange it." ”

Cai Yong was later removed from all official positions and driven out of Luoyang because he was involved in Wang Yun's 'calculating prince' case.

Liu Xie, Xi Zhicai, and Wang Lang listened, couldn't help but glance at each other, and then quickly ran away, their hearts changed in a hurry.

Regarding the 'prince', the attitude of the government and the opposition is basically the same, that is, Liu Shao.

He is not only the eldest son, but his mother is also a famous scholar family, which is the most suitable.

Liu Wei and Cai Wenji talked, and soon came to Hong Lin Yuan.

Sit down in a pavilion, where the chaju and futon have been set up.

Liu Wei put down Liu Shao and asked him to sit on the side, and then he smiled with Liu Xie and said, "Sit down, there are some things today, talk to your family." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Liu Xie, Xi Zhicai, and Wang Lang saluted, they sat opposite Liu Bian.

Cai Wenji sat next to Liu Bian, and wanted to make tea, but was preempted by Liu Bian.

Liu Wei fiddled with the tea set and said straight to the point: "The matter of Hongdumen's learning has not yet come to fruition. But the three divisions pass the buck to each other, what do you think? ”

Liu Xie's 'listening to the government' Yushitai, and after the imperial history was completed, he was his father-in-law, and his expression was slightly condensed when he heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty, hasn't this matter been taken over by the Huangmen North Temple Prison?" ”

Liu Wei ignored him and said, "Xi Zhicai, you say." ”

Xi Zhicai's face was a little pale, sickly, and he raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it should be jointly investigated and handled by the three law divisions." ”

Liu Wei looked up at him and said, "Reasonable." Why didn't you mention it? ”

Xi Zhicai paused, continued to raise his hand and said: "The minister is humble and light, and he is not present. ”

Liu argued and said, "Then, Jiaqing's family is the palace servant, the main palace." ”

Not only Xi Zhicai was stunned, but Liu Xie and Wang Lang all showed different colors.

It's as simple as that, Xi Zhicai jumped two levels in a row and became the palace attendant?

"Minister's will, thanksgiving." Xi Zhicai reacted quickly.

Liu Wei snorted, continued to fiddle with the tea set, and said: "Regarding the Yushitai, many people have written to say that the Yushitai is too troublesome to do things in the palace and requests to be moved outside the palace, what do you think?" ”

Xi Zhicai's mood had not yet calmed down, and he glanced at Liu Xie with a calm look on his face.

Liu Xie was silent for a moment and said, "The minister will obey the will." ”

Coo-coo

The teapot made a soft sound, and bursts of white air rushed out.

Liu Wei looked at the teapot and said: "Since there is no opinion, then it is so decided, before the end of the year, move to the vicinity of Xingcao and Tingwei's Mansion, and the three law divisions will be together, and the efficiency will be much higher." ”

"Commandment." Liu Xie raised his hand and said. He didn't care much about this, the Yushitai was placed inside and outside the palace, and it was all the Yushitai, and there was no change.

"Wang Qing's family, I heard that you got married recently?" Liu Wei looked at Wang Lang and said with a smile.

Wang Lang didn't expect Liu Wei to care about this kind of thing, so he raised his hand unhurriedly and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's the prime minister who is the matchmaker." ”

Liu Wei nodded and said, "What does the Qing family think of Chen Qun?" ”

Chen Qun has been in the Tingwei Mansion for three or four years, mainly responsible for revising the "New Han Law", but many of his views have been criticized by the government and the opposition, even Zhong Xuan has been silent about it, and Wang Lang has even publicly criticized.

This directly caused Chen Qun's reputation to be damaged and his career was blocked.

After Chen Qun got drunk, he scolded Wang Lang for being 'a traitor, a sycophant, cunning and cold', and even resigned from the office.

Wang Lang didn't know why Liu Wei suddenly mentioned Chen Qun, so he pretended to say in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of the ministers, he is talented and young. ”

Chen Qun was born in Yingchuan Chen, and has been famous since he was a child, and visited various famous artists along the way to Luoyang, discerning scriptures and handouts, which made many people speechless and praised his 'Wang Zuozhi'.

Chen Qun was not idle in Luoyang, looking for people everywhere to 'compete', causing many people to deliberately avoid him.

Liu Wei listened to this evaluation, but nodded, and said: "What does the Qing family think of the 'nine-grade system' he wrote?" ”

Wang Lang's face was serious, he thought about it carefully, and said with a deep face: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be delayed. ”

The 'nine-grade system' was something that Chen Qun had been brewing for many years, and under the many improvements of Zhong Xuan, Xun Yu and others, he was only able to write the book, but he was left in the middle by Liu Wei.

Although he stayed in the middle of the country, it had already spread throughout the government and the opposition, and there were many discussions about it, and the opposition was obviously louder than the one who agreed.

The most fundamental thing is that the imperial court's control over the local area is too weak, and it is okay in Luoyang, but when it comes to the locality, it is easy to cause boiling.

Liu Wei picked up the bubbling teapot and began to pour the tea, saying, "What do you think of the Qing family, how is the Zhong Qing family doing?" ”

Liu Xie, Xi Zhicai's heart suddenly chuckled, and he looked at Liu Wei with some surprise.

What does this mean? Zhong Xuan, did you commit something?

Wang Lang was also shocked in his heart, but he didn't belong to the 'Yingchuan Party', but he was much calmer, and he thought for a while, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Zhong Tingwei, you are outstanding, hardworking, constantly rushing, and have great merit and the court." ”

Liu Wei put down the teapot with a smile, picked up the teacup and handed it to Wang Lang, and said, "It's rare that the Qing family has this fair heart. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Lang hurriedly took it with both hands and said with a respectful face.

In the imperial court, although the 'Yingchuan Party' is dominant, Yang Biao, as the prime minister, has many supporters, and it is inevitable to fight openly and secretly.

Liu Wei picked up the teacup again and handed it to Liu Xie, and said, "Over there at Fu Qing's house, you go and talk about it, use dim sum, don't hide in case of trouble." ”

Liu Xie felt his scalp tingle, took it with both hands, and said in a calm tone as calmly as possible: "The minister's order." ”

Liu Wei picked up the teacup again and handed it to Xi Zhicai, and said with a smile: "The imperial history in the palace is not only a picket official ceremony, but also the imperial history of the city patrol must also investigate Luoyang City. ”

Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Wei's refreshing smile, his heart was cold, he took the teacup with both hands, and said, "The minister's order." ”

Liu Wei looked at the three of them with a smile and said, "Why don't you move?" Try to see if my tea-making skills have grown. ”

The three of them subconsciously looked at the hot teacup in front of them, hesitated for a moment, blew lightly, pursed their lips and tasted a little.

"Wang Qing's family,"

Without waiting for the three of them to express their opinions, Liu argued: "You take a trip to Xiliang with the festival and tell Sanqiang that if you want to be attached, you must give up your military power." ”

Wang Lang hurriedly put down the teacup and said, "The minister's decree." ”

There are many doubts in my heart, hasn't Zhong Xuan always been responsible?

Could it be that something really happened to Zhong Xuan?

Moreover, entering the palace today, just for these things?
