In the afternoon of the next day, in the Xuan room, Liu He, who was dressed in the crown of the Son of Heaven, was concentrating on practicing calligraphy.

The Xuan Room is not very large, but its status is very special.

Not only because the Xuan Room is the main room of the front hall, it is closer to the front hall.

It is also because since Emperor Xiaowen, this is the place where the emperor of the Han Dynasty met with important ministers.

And the most famous thing is that Emperor Xiaowen once had a long talk with Jia Yi here all night.

It's just that this matter, in the poems of Li Shangyin in later generations, is not so glorious.

The Xuan Room sought to visit the ministers, and Jia Shengcai was even more incoherent. Pity the front seat in the middle of the night, and don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods.

However, that is all the evaluation of posterity.

After the crown prince's canonization ceremony, Liu He lived here justifiably, and the east and west sides of the Xuanshu Hall were the Greenhouse Hall and the Qingliang Hall, which were the places where the emperor lived in winter and summer.

Liu He knew that two months ago, Emperor Xiaozhao suddenly died of illness here.

Although when he moved in, the place had been cleaned and all the utensils and utensils had been replaced.

But Liu He still had some fears at first, and it was not until Emperor Xiaozhao was buried in Zhaoling and completely erased from the world that this fear was digested by Liu He.

……

For most of the month, Liu He was busy being the mascot at the funeral and the ceremony, and he never had the opportunity to write the remaining half of the Analects silently.

Now that I continue to write, the structure of the characters seems to be a little more scattered.

It seems that, like all things, the practice of calligraphy should not be wasted for a day.

After writing slowly for half an hour, Liu He finally stopped writing with satisfaction.

Practicing calligraphy today is not only for practicing calligraphy, but also to calm your mind.

Because after a while, Huo Guang will come, and this is the first time Liu He has met Huo Guang alone.

Then, of course, you have to calm your mind.

"Yu worry-free, is the tea ready?" Liu He put the written words aside and shouted loudly.

After a loud noise, the door of the Xuanshu Hall was pushed open, and a young and unfamiliar internal official walked in.

"Your Majesty, the tea and tea set are ready."

Liu He looked at this unfamiliar face and was a little stunned for a while.

After a long time, he remembered that although Wang Ji and Yu Wuwu and others were given new official positions in the court yesterday, it would take a lot of time for the Shangshu Department to draw up an edict and issue an edict, so it would take at least seven or eight days for these old people of Changyi to take up their new posts.

During this time, Liu He still had to fight alone.

The internal official standing in front of him in a regular manner is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and because he has gone castrated, his appearance is extraordinarily delicate.

"What's your name?"

"The little slave is in his ears."

Liu He was puzzled at first, but after seeing clearly that the right ear of the internal official was a little intracted, he understood that this was a cheap name.

"Where is your ancestral home?"

"Huai County, Hanoi County."

"Why did you enter the palace?"

After Liu He asked this, the internal official bowed, his body on the ground shook slightly, and then he said: "After the little slave was a criminal minister, my grandfather was involved in the case of rebellion. ”

The internal official is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and after some calculation, this case of rebellion must be the case of rebellion of the Shangguan family.

At a young age, he was tortured by the palace, and Liu He couldn't help but have some sympathy for the other party.

Corruption and corporal punishment are abominable.

The tragic life of this little official is related to the imperial power, but he is still willing to stay in the palace to serve the Son of Heaven.

I'm afraid this is the power of imperial power - the monarchy is bestowed, who is not afraid?

"Who else is in the family?"

"There is still an old grandmother who works in the violent chamber."

The storm room is a dyeing and weaving workshop under the jurisdiction of the court, and it is named because the dyeing products need to be dried.

If the palace maid is sick, and the noble queen is guilty, she will also be sent here to house arrest, so the riot room is not only a workshop, but also a prison.

Liu He remembered something and asked, "There is a husband in the violent room, named Xu Guanghan, do you recognize him?" ”

"I've met a few times."

Liu He nodded, and then he wanted to find this Xu Guanghan so that this internal official could lead the way.

"What's your real name, do you remember?"

The internal official hesitated for a moment before he said in a trembling voice: "The villain's original surname is Fan." ”

"Gaozu has a general Fan Xu, this is a good surname, should not be forgotten, from today on, you will change back to your original surname, I will give you another gram, in the future you will be called Fan Ke, I hope that Ling Nengke has been loyal."

The little internal official suddenly raised his head, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"What, don't you want to accept it?"

"The little slave doesn't dare, thank Your Majesty for the name!" Fan Ke immediately bowed to Liu He three times in a row.

The effort of raising your hands is not enough.

This little internal official was previously an internal official who served Emperor Xiaozhao, although he was not very old, but he had been in the palace for two or three years to be an errand in this Xuan room.

Compared with Liu He, an outsider, he is more familiar with this Weiyang Palace.

Whether it is now, or after Yu Wuwu and they enter the palace, this Fan Ke may be able to play some role.

Therefore, Liu He gave him a name, which was not only sympathy for him, but also a way to buy people's hearts.

Treat people as people, Liu He wants to continue to move the set he made in Changyi Kingdom to Weiyang Palace to use.

"Okay, you go down first, after the middle father comes, bring in the tea and tea set."

"No"

……

Two quarters of an hour later, Huo Guang came to the Xuan room, and after a salute and a return salute, Liu He and him were separated by a desk and did it face to face.

Fan Ke was very clever and immediately brought in the tea and tea set.

The water has been boiled in advance, so it is just right to use to make tea.

"Father Zhong, don't talk about political affairs first, I'll make you tea first."

Huo Guang didn't want to refuse, so Liu He began to pour water, filter slag, and pour tea on his own......

A movement, flowing smoothly, at a glance, is a familiar hand.

Liu He likes to talk about business when making tea, which can not only make the other party relax, but also be used as a cover for himself.

And at this moment, Huo Guang also observed the Son of Heaven's every move, and there was no sign of the previous madness.

To say that His Majesty has a disease of madness is indeed alarmist, at most it is a relatively late mental maturity.

It seems that an edict will be issued in the future, and whoever dares to say that the Son of Heaven has a hidden disease will be killed without forgiveness.

"Father, please drink tea and see how about the tea I brewed?"

The method of making tea has just been popular in Chang'an, and it is still a new thing, and Huo Guang is in a high position, so he will naturally be elegant.

Huo Guang picked up the teacup, drank it all, and said, "The tea made by Your Majesty is just right." ”

"Eh, the middle father drank too quickly, and he needs to drink it slowly one bite at a time, and taste the different flavors repeatedly." Liu He said, he also picked up a cup of tea, sipping it in small sips, with a comfortable look on his face.

Huo Guang shook his head with a smile, and there was also a hint of curiosity, according to Liu He's appearance, he poured a cup himself, tasted it carefully, and really drank a little different.

He suddenly remembered that this new method of making tea seemed to have come from Changyi Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the way to drink this tea came from Changyi Kingdom?"

A smug smile appeared on the corner of Liu He's mouth, and he said, "Father Zhong is right, this method of drinking tea is indeed from Changyi, and it is also a method that I have figured out. ”

Huo Guang first showed a look of surprise, but then he retracted, he solemnly put down the teacup, and said: "Although this method is interesting, Your Majesty will have to focus more on this government in the future, and don't lose your mind." ”

Dare to say that the Son of Heaven is demoralized, I'm afraid only Huo Guang is the only one.

"The government is assisted by my middle father, and I am still young, so I don't need to worry about too many things." Liu He said with a smile.

After drinking a few cups of tea, the two of them were refreshed.

Huo Guang naturally entered today's topic.
