Yonghan five years, the end of April.

Changle Palace.

This day was very lively, and the reason was the birthday of Empress Dowager He's mother, that is, Liu Wei's grandmother, Wuyangjun.

Wuyangjun He, who had been driven out of Luoyang for five years, and his son, the former chariot general He Miao, and his family were allowed to return to Luoyang and appear in the side hall where Empress Dowager He celebrated Wuyangjun's birthday.

Not only them, Cai Wenji with Liu Shao and Cai Wenji's father Cai Yong, Tang Ji with Liu Yu, Liu Jing and her father Tang Mao, etc., are also here.

This big family, talking and laughing, has no tension in the past at all, and is very cheerful.

It didn't take long for the men and women to be together, watching the song and dance, listening to the silk bamboo, turning their heads and ears, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, so unhappy.

Only Liu Wei is missing.

Liu Wei naturally would not appear in Changle Palace at this time.

"Where am I going to be, how upset I am?"

In the apse of Chongde Palace, Liu Wei flipped through the notebook and said to Kong Rong in front of him with a smile.

Kong Rong is tall, fat, fat, and very rich, but he has a bookish air all over his body, and the sense of contrast is very strong.

Listening to Liu Wei's words, Kong Rong said with a smile: "I believe that the Queen Mother and Wuyang Jun all hope that Your Majesty can come in person." ”

Liu Wei raised his eyelids and glanced at him, smiling without saying a word.

This Tai Changqing is different from the previous two terms, Cai Yong is keen on performance and only does things that can make him famous. Bian Rang, on the other hand, tended to 'run his own studies', and all the affairs of Taichang Temple were handed over to his subordinates.

And this Kong Rong, who is also a great Confucian in the world, seems a little 'sleek'.

Liu Wei had already seen through these courtiers, where would they be confused by appearances, and what he was looking at was Kong Rong's plan for this year's 'Autumn Festival'.

Kong Rong did everything he could, not only Taixue and Hongdu Menxue, but also sent letters to families and private schools in various places, half persuading and half recruiting, asking their young students to enter Luoyang to participate in the 'Autumn Festival' and enter the imperial court.

Liu Wei read it carefully and nodded slightly.

Kong Rong finally got things done, and it was much better than he expected.

He then picked up the next one, frowning just by looking at him.

Seeing this, Kong Rong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the world of great prosperity has all changed the yuan to meet the time of heaven. Now that I am in sight, I should change the yuan to meet the mandate of heaven. ”

Liu Wei glanced at him again, and the book in his hand was basically empty words, big words, full of great truths quoting scriptures.

But Liu Wei did not speak.

Because he remembered that this year was the year before Jian'an in history.

Today in history, Cao Cao has brought Liu Xie to Xuchang, and Luoyang has become the 'old capital'.

'Change? ’

Liu Wei groaned, thinking about the gains and losses.

There are indeed many benefits to the change, with the revelation of Vientiane renewal, it is a farewell to the old and the beginning of a new era.

"Let's change it."

Liu Wei thought about it again and again, nodded and said: "Taichang Temple choose a few, and submit them after reporting to the Shangshu platform." ”

"Obey." Kong Rong said with great joy.

Since Kong Rong took over, the opportunities to enter the palace are only a handful. As the head of Jiuqing, Tai Changqing's status is declining, which makes Kong Rong quite worried, worried about following in the footsteps of the previous two terms.

After Liu Wei dealt with these few things, he sat up with a smile and said, "Kong Qing's family, Zhu Qing's family is sick, and the imperial court plans to make Sima Fang the pastor of Qingzhou, what do you think?" ”

Kong Rong was stunned, thought about it carefully, and said, "The minister obeys the will." ”

Liu Wei picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Then let's settle it like this." The Qing family is from Beihai, what do you think about the situation in Qingzhou? ”

Kong Rong's face suddenly became serious, he raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Qingzhou...... The situation is complicated, the bandits are suppressed every day, the bandits are suppressed every day, endlessly, the people are miserable, and in the long run, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe! ”

Liu Wei held the teacup, thinking constantly.

Among the northern states, the most unstable is Qingzhou.

It's just a time bomb, I don't know when it will detonate.

Cao Cao forced down nearly one million Yellow Turban troops, and then forcibly tuntian and temporarily resettled. But this is not a long-term solution. Once encountering natural and man-made disasters, these people will swarm again and sweep Qingzhou.

Once Qingzhou falls, the neighboring Xu, Yan, Ji, and Youdu will not be spared, and they will return overnight, even more serious than before.

The only way is for the court to help them through the most difficult times.

This is the responsibility and obligation of the imperial court.

However, the Han court was poor and poor, unable to support itself, and it was difficult to draw money and food to provide relief, so it could only rely on the Qingzhou government, or the family, to barely survive.

Again, this is not a long-term solution!

"I see."

For a long time, Liu Wei could only answer Kong Rong with such dry words.

Kong Rong saw Liu Yan's stiff expression, and stopped talking.

He knew the situation in Qingzhou and the difficulties of the imperial court.

It's an unsolvable puzzle – at least for now.

"Anything else?" Liu Wei picked up the teacup again and asked before drinking.

Kong Rong restrained his emotions and pretended to hesitate and said: "Your Majesty, the prime minister has been in office for many days, and Shangshutai is vacant, should the prime minister be selected?" ”

After Yang Biao left, Liu Wei did not issue an edict for a long time, and Xun Yu, the next prime minister who had long been recognized, has not been able to take office.

Shang Shutai, for the time being, is represented by the right servant Zhong Xuan.

"Anything else?" Liu Wei asked again.

Kong Rong hesitated even more, but still said: "Your Majesty, if Xun Shangshu is the prime minister, Hu Cao Shangshu is vacant." Cao Xun Shangshu, Criminal Cao Sima Shangshu Ruojin Shangshutai, Cao Shangshu, Criminal Cao Shangshu vacant. In addition, Bing Cao Shangshu has been vacant for nearly half a year......"

Before he finished speaking, Pan Yin hurriedly came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you over." ”

Hearing this, Liu Wei got up and said to Kong Rong: "I am already thinking about these things. The Qing family will go to meet Zhong Qing's family later and ask him to sort out the 'new deal'. ”

Kong Rong was a little puzzled, and when he saw Liu Wei going out, he could only respond.

Liu argued out of the apse, and then said: "Is it really the queen mother looking for me?" ”

Pan Yin was a little hesitant and said, "Yes." ”

Liu Wei glanced back at him and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Pan Yin looked around, and then said: "His Royal Highness and His Second Highness fought in Changle Palace, and the Queen Mother had a headache, so she could only ask Your Majesty to come over." ”

Liu Wei was surprised and said, "You said Shao'er and Yu'er? What are they fighting for? ”

Liu Shao's little guy is a stuffy gourd, he has always been silent, what will he fight with Liu Yu?

Pan Yin lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty will know when he arrives." ”

Liu Wei became more and more puzzled, and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

When I arrived at Changle Palace, I found that the singing and dancing here had long stopped, and there was no silk and bamboo, and the hall was full of people, but it was quite quiet.

Only Cai Wenji and Tang Ji were persuading the two little guys, and Empress Dowager He sat aside with a headache.

When a group of people saw Liu Wei coming in, they saluted in unison and said, "Ministers see Your Majesty." ”

Empress Dowager He frowned, looking helpless and irritable, and said, "Come and persuade those two muddy boys, I can't control it." ”

Liu Wei waved his hand, and when he came closer, he saw Liu Shao reaching out in Liu Yu's arms, pursing his mouth, and his little face was quite stubborn.

Liu Yu hugged his arms vigorously and pressed Liu Shao's hands, as if he was pressing something.

Tang Ji and Cai Wenji gave Liu Wei a salute with a sad face, and did not dare to say anything.

Liu Wei didn't move, came closer, and said with a smile: "Look at the two of you, it's a good birthday, it's all for you, don't stop it and apologize to Wuyangjun." ”

Wuyang Jun He Shi helped He Miao, stiffly laughing with him, wanting to say something but not saying it.

Liu Yu raised his face and said coquettishly to Liu Wei: "Father, I lost my jade pendant, and the imperial brother picked it up, and he refused to return it to me, and he wanted to rob it." ”

Empress Dowager He interjected on the side and said, "Isn't it just a jade pendant?" I asked Shao'er to give it to him, but Shao'er refused to live or die. ”

Liu Wei looked at Liu Shao and said, "You robbed it?" ”

Liu Shao didn't speak, just stared at Liu Yu, grabbed the jade pendant in Liu Yu's arms with both hands, and didn't let go at all.

"Father!"

Liu Yu suddenly shouted at Liu: "The imperial brother has acquiesced, this jade pendant is mine." ”

Liu Wei was very troubled by Liu Shao's stuffy gourd, and remembered Yang Biao's words before leaving, and frowned: "Give me the jade pendant." ”

"Don't give it!"

To Liu Bian's surprise and everyone's surprise, Liu Shao actually refuted Liu Bian's words, and it was extremely crisp.

Liu Wei's brows furrowed tighter, he raised his hands behind his back, and said, "Say it again!" ”

Liu Shao pursed his mouth tightly, his little face seemed to be angry and resentful, but he grabbed Yu Pei's hands harder.

"Ah......h

Liu Yu suddenly screamed and argued to Liu: "Father, the emperor's brother scratched me, and the doctor only gave an injection in his arms yesterday." ”

Liu Wei was a little irritable, stretched out his hand, and forcibly separated the two.

Liu Shao retreated, and the jade pendant was grabbed by him and held it tightly.

Liu Yu stretched out his hands and shouted unwillingly: "Father, my jade pendant ......"

Seeing this, Cai Wenji hurriedly pulled Liu Shao behind her, and said with a stiff face: "Your Majesty, there are a lot of such jade pendants, maybe, maybe the Second Highness admits that it is wrong, and it may not be ......."

Tang Ji hurriedly followed and said, "What my sister said is, Your Majesty, Yu'er must have seen it wrong, go back to the concubine, find him a piece, don't get angry." ”

Not far away, Cai Yong, Tang Mao and others did not dare to speak out at all, their faces were full of worry.

With the gradual growth of the two princes, although the dispute between the 'Li Prince' is not on the surface, the competition in the secret has never stopped.

But no one knows what the attitude of His Majesty in front of him is, but with Wang Yun in front of him, few people dare to mention the matter of 'Lichu'.

Liu Wei took in the expressions of the crowd, his face was expressionless, and he said to Liu Shao: "Give me the jade pendant." ”

Liu Shao looked at Liu Wei and carried the jade pendant behind him, with tears in his eyes, his little face was stubborn, and he didn't say a word.

Liu Wei was angry, walked over, and snatched the jade pendant from his hand.

The little guy resisted a little fiercely, grabbed the jade pendant and used his strength to eat.

But how did he resist Liu Wei, but he still took it away from Liu Wei.

Looking at Yu Pei, Liu Wei's eyebrows were twisted into Sichuan characters, and when he saw Liu Shao glaring at him, tears were about to come out, but he was still stubborn and didn't say a word.

Liu Wei was even more angry in his heart.

"The more the child, the more the child ......"

Suddenly, Tang Ji shouted urgently.

Liu Wei looked back and saw Liu Yu suddenly fall to the ground, his face pale, and he was already unconscious.

Liu Wei was startled, hurriedly picked up Liu Yu, ran inside, and shouted at the same time: "Doctor! ”

The crowd was suddenly disrupted because of Liu Yu's sudden fainting.

Liu Yu has been in poor health since he was a child, especially in winter, and he is particularly sick.

Now that winter is not far away, everyone is on the lookout.

Only Liu Shao was alone, standing silently in place, tears falling non-stop.

He didn't wipe it, just sobbing aggrievedly, and even his voice was deliberately suppressed.

Inside the side hall.

After waiting for the doctor's diagnosis to be fine, Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Ji wiped her tears on the side, distressed.

Empress Dowager He let go of her worries, disbanded today's birthday banquet, and arranged for someone to stay or leave the palace.

Liu Wei sat at the head of the bed, looked at the unconscious little guy, looked down at the jade pendant in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Not long after, the boiled medicine came over, and Liu Wei personally fed it to Liu Yu, and seeing that his face had improved, he quietly left.

Tang Ji was stunned, in the past, Liu Healed from his illness, but Liu Wei never left an inch, guarding for a few hours.

Liu argued out of Changle Palace, rubbed the jade pendant in his hand, and his mind flipped, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

In the past, he always felt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Tang Taizong abolished the crown prince, and it was their arrogance and blind confidence that caused major disasters such as the abolition of the crown prince, which laid all kinds of banes for the future.

Today's scene made Liu Wei sober up.

Even though he has read some history books, he is an ordinary person after all, and in the game, who can 'shine with a candle' and investigate all the truths and falsehoods?

Liu Wei walked slowly, with a lot of confusion in his heart.

They are all his children, and Liu Wei is unwilling to be wronged, and a little wind and cold makes him feel distressed.

Now it's just a child, and the fight is just a piece of jade pendant. But they will grow up, they will face the biggest temptation in the world, how will they fight?

'Can I take care of them?' ’

Liu Wei couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.

That's something that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Taizong of Tang failed to do.

Unconsciously, Liu Wei walked back to the Chongde Palace, he did not go in, but put on his robe, sat on the steps, and quietly looked at the temple and the sky in front of him.

After repeated scrutiny and back and forth, the disasters of Xiao Wall in the past dynasties flashed endlessly in front of Liu Wei's eyes.

After a long time, Liu Wei said softly: "Dian Wei, you say, should I make a prince?" ”

The tall Dian Wei was stunned and said, "Your Majesty thinks that it should be established, then it should be established." ”

Liu Wei took a deep breath and said, "Pan Yin, bring Shao'er over." ”

Pan Yin didn't know what the outcome of today's 'dispute' would be, so he responded uneasily and sent someone to Yongning Palace to invite Liu Shao.

It didn't take long for Cai Wenji to take Liu Shao to the front of Chongde Palace.

Cai Wenji looked at Liu Wei sitting on the steps, her face slightly pale.

She has followed Liu Wei for nearly six years, and she knows the temperament of this pillow person, and only when she encounters something that is difficult to decide, she will be so 'out of shape'.

Liu Shao didn't realize it, came to Liu Wei's side, raised his hand in a proper manner, and said, "The son has seen his father." ”

Liu Wei turned his head sideways, saw that the tears on his face had not dried, and then glimpsed Cai Wenji's presence, groaned, took the little guy, sat in his arms, and asked, "The jade pendant is obviously yours, why don't you defend it?" ”

The little guy just looked at Liu Wei and didn't speak quietly, his little face showing grievances and stubbornness.

Liu Wei waited for a while, sighed in his heart, took out the jade pendant from his arms, handed it to him, and said: "This jade pendant, my father has seen it countless times on the prime minister's waist, and I knew at first glance that he gave it to you." At that time, as long as you said that it was sent to you by the prime minister, it would be fine, why didn't you say it? ”

The little guy looked at the jade pendant and wanted to reach for it, but retracted it halfway through.

Liu Wei looked at him, but he still refused to speak out for a long time, and couldn't help but have a headache.

What is the reason for Liu Shao to develop such a personality?

What made Liu Wei even more irritable was:

His two sons, one was stuffy and the other was sickly.

Neither of these two people is a suitable candidate to inherit the throne.

Liu Wei looked back at Cai Wenji again, and then thought of Tang Ji.

In the past few years, neither of them has been pregnant again, and it is not clear what the reason is.

'Do I want to enrich the harem and practice a few more trumpets?' ’

Liu Wei had this thought in his heart, and he was immediately thrown away, hugged Liu Shao, and stuffed the jade pendant into his hand with a smile, and said: "When you encounter things in the future, you must fight according to reason, don't be silent, otherwise you will be wronged today, you know?" ”

The little guy held the jade pendant in his hand, his tight little face slowly relaxed, and his gaze at Liu Wei was a little warmer, but he still didn't say a word.

Liu Wei waited for a long time, and couldn't help but look up to the sky.

What can I do?
