In the middle of July of the fourth year of Yuanfeng, the heat gradually increased.

The entire Chang'an City, including Weiyang Palace, was completely warmed up.

However, for Liu He, who is the Son of Heaven, it will not be too difficult.

A few days ago, after Liu He worshiped the high temple and returned to the palace, the empathetic Shaofu Lecheng temporarily moved Liu He's bedroom from the Xuanshu Hall to the Qingliang Hall on the south side of the Xuanshu Hall after consulting Liu He.

The Qingliang Hall is more open, the walls are thinner, and there are many hollowed-out windows.

Therefore, compared with the relatively closed Xuan room, it is much cooler.

Although the Qingliang Hall does not seem to be as safe as the Xuanshu Palace, the people who are now on duty under the corridor in the hall are all Changyi Lang, and Gong Sui also lives in the small compartment under the corridor.

In addition, Wang Ji quietly replaced some of the guards around the Qingliang Palace, Xuanshu Hall and Greenhouse Palace, and most of the people who rotated over were the children of Qilu - although they were not from Changyi, they were at least closer to Liu He.

In this way, even if he lives in the Qingliang Palace, Liu He can sleep more peacefully.

As for some of Liu He's enjoyment in his summer life, Shaofu Lecheng has already arranged it - this is Shaofu's responsibility, whether it involves the court dispute, and it is a credit for nothing.

Every day from morning to night, there will be large copper basins in the corners of the walls around the Qingliang Palace, and the copper basins contain huge ice cubes - these ice cubes are cut from the river in advance and hidden in the cellar in winter, especially for summer use.

The ice cubes in the copper basin are changed every other hour, so that the Qingliang Hall can always be kept at a suitable temperature.

Compared with the heat of the outside world, the Qingliang Hall is very much like a fairyland.

The fruits and vegetables sent in are also the freshest nowadays, and Liu He can even taste a lot of seasonal fruits shipped from the south.

With the help of ice, gallop and fast horses, it can still maintain a certain freshness.

Of course, this is sent to Chang'an regardless of the cost, and it is not the norm that can be promoted.

And this is the privilege of the Son of Heaven to enjoy the offerings of the world.

……

On this day, Liu He specially called Shaofu Lecheng to Qingliang Hall to meet him alone.

Since that day's small court meeting, Shaofu Le Chengcheng is the official Liu He has seen the most - it is risky to summon other important ministers of the court alone, but it is not a problem to meet his own bookkeeper and chief butler.

And maybe it is because of Yang Chang's experience, so Le Cheng has a lot of respect for the Son of Heaven, and on the surface, it is simply the only one who looks forward to the Son of Heaven.

After worshipping the high temple, Liu He's control over Weiyang Palace was further strengthened, or at least his control over Shaofu was strengthened.

And to control the Han Dynasty, you have to start from controlling Weiyang Palace.

summoned Le Cheng for several days in a row, so that Liu He also had a better understanding of this Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace is very large, much bigger than Liu He imagined.

In addition to the various palaces, there are also the Shaofu, the Imperial Court and the Central Government Office, which houses various archival documents of the Han court and court, and is a place of little but great importance.

With such a huge Weiyang Palace, even if Huo Dang has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to completely control it.

Therefore, in all aspects, it is possible to leave room for Liu He to operate.

……

"Leqing, there are many kinds of vegetables and fruits from the south, and I am very satisfied, but I must remember to send them to Changle Palace on time every day."

"Changle Palace has not been lived in for a long time, there must be a lot of utensils missing, as a Shaofu, you want to do everything before the Queen Mother, you can't have the slightest slack, but it is a matter of Weiyang Palace, you can wait a little later, I don't care."

"The first emperor suddenly went big, the queen mother must be sad, Le Qing, as a young man, wants to measure the material resources of the Han Dynasty, the favor of the queen mother, and the queen mother is in good health, which is the blessing of the Han Dynasty."

Liu He said seriously, chattering and detailing.

If outsiders who don't know what to do see see this scene, they will definitely regard Liu He as a filial son.

But in fact, the "queen mother" in Liu He's mouth is many years younger than him.

However, although the mother and young children are grown, Liu He, the son, is very competent.

Every day, Liu He and Le Cheng met, and the first thing they talked about was to inquire about the details of the Queen Mother's body and daily life.

This made Le Chengdu feel puzzled and funny in his heart, and he didn't know whether the Son of Heaven was "pure filial piety" or "stupid laughter".

Although he was slandering in his heart, Le Cheng would never dare to show the slightest bit on his face, he could only accept them one by one, and at the same time flatter the "benevolence and filial piety" of the Son of Heaven.

"By the way, if I remember correctly, the tenth day of the eighth month is the birthday of the Queen Mother." Liu He asked.

"Your Majesty really has a good memory, the tenth day of August is the Holy Birthday of the Queen Mother, according to the previous regulations, the palace is going to hold a holy birthday ceremony, Shaofu and Taichang have already begun to prepare, and it will be presented in a few days for Your Majesty to decide." Le Cheng said respectfully.

"I'm afraid not." Liu He said after a long silence.

"What is your majesty's holy word?" Le Cheng asked suspiciously, this matter has to be done every year, he doesn't know what the Son of Heaven wants to say.

"Emperor Xiaozhao has just made a big trip, the Queen Mother is afraid that she is still immersed in sorrow, although the Holy Birthday Ceremony can make Changle Palace lively, but it will inevitably make the Queen Mother give birth to the idea that things are wrong, if it is too extravagant and lively, the Queen Mother may be angry because of grief and anger."

Le Cheng was shocked, why didn't he think of such an important matter, but he still needed to be reminded by the Son of Heaven.

This day, I really did myself a favor.

Le Cheng hurriedly confessed, saying that he was negligent.

"Le Qing, you have been in charge of the Shaofu for many years, and all the matters in the palace will be handled properly.

"Your Majesty praises falsely, Weichen will definitely do things in the future." Hearing the praise of the Son of Heaven, Le Cheng was very happy in his heart, and it seemed that he had been recognized by the Son of Heaven.

Once the Son of Heaven was a courtier, although the Son of Heaven was a puppet, it was still a good thing to be able to get holy praise.

Of course, Liu He could see Le Cheng's joy, and his words were deliberately said to Le Cheng.

This Le Cheng and An Le are all the way, usable but not credible, to use a big cake that can be seen and cannot be eaten, hang them.

"But ......" Liu He deliberately lengthened his voice, and waited until Le Cheng looked at him before he said, "However, this time is a little different from ordinary times, all things in the palace, it is best to ask and think more, don't do it as a routine, so as not to make mistakes in your busyness." ”

"As long as Le Qing does a good job in the palace, he will definitely be able to do more in the court in the future, and both the middle father and I will see Le Qing's credit."

"Prime Minister Yang Chang and Imperial Doctor Cai Yi are both old, I'm afraid they will be in the near future, I think Le Qing can take on this great responsibility, and I will mention it to my middle father when the time comes."

Le Cheng was pleasantly surprised, but he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt: Is this son of heaven beating himself and hinting at himself?

But the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven after all, Le Cheng didn't dare to think deeply, but hurriedly said: "Weichen understands, the matter of the Queen Mother's Holy Birthday Ceremony ......"

"Don't be in a hurry about this matter, after I ask the Queen Mother, it's up to you to say."

"No."

"In addition, the heat is getting heavier, so that the dining room must be prepared with enough decoction and chilled mung bean soup every day, whether it is the officials who come and go to the palace, or the guards, the guards, or the servants and miscellaneous servants, all of them must be sent to them, and no one can be missed."

"Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and Weichen will do a good job, so that Your Majesty's kindness will spread all over the palace."

"Well, so there is Lao Leqing."

After talking for about half an hour, Liu He sent the surprised and happy Le Cheng away.

The position of Shaofu is very important, and Liu He must be firmly in his hands.

For a period of time in the future, it will depend on whether this music will become a Taoist.

If he doesn't go to the Tao, then he will be replaced in the end; If he goes to the Tao, let him stay in the position of this Shaofu for a few more days.

"Yu worry-free, I want you to do the matter of the Queen Mother's Shengshou just mentioned, are you willing to go to Changle Palace for a run?" Liu He said without worrying about Yu on the side of the attendant.

"No, the lower officials are willing to share your Majesty's worries."
