Chapter 149: Give Me Another Queen (Ask for Subscription)
"The general has a beloved daughter named Chengjun, it is the year of Ji Lu, as far as the old man knows, he is still in the boudoir, gentle and frugal......"
Yang Chang's beautiful words kept coming out, as if Huo Chengjun was not Huo Guang's daughter, but like his Yang Chang's granddaughter.
Perhaps speaking too quickly, Yang Chang coughed violently again.
Liu De looked at Yang Chang's hurried appearance, and laughed in his heart, I'm afraid that for today's matter of choosing a concubine, Yang Chang will have to live a few months less.
I don't know how much Huo Guang has added to Yang Chang.
Unlike the previous candidate for Jieyu, Liu De closed his lips tightly from beginning to end and did not say a word.
He knew that Huo Guangzhi would win the position of queen.
Especially after seeing Huo Guang's domineering appearance just now, he saw this matter more clearly.
The most important thing is that the matter is urgent, and Liu De really can't think of a suitable person.
If he forcibly opposes, he Liu De will not be able to see the ceremonies of the Son of Heaven canonizing the queen.
After the dispersal of the dynasty that day, Liu De had the consciousness of resisting Huo with his family, but although he was stubborn, he was a thousand-mile horse, not a stubborn cow, and knew not to make fearless sacrifices.
Staying in this upright position, you can still do more things for the Son of Heaven.
Thinking of the Son of Heaven, Liu De couldn't help but sigh, the Son of Heaven seemed to be too pitiful.
"Yang Gong praised it, how can the little girl be virtuous, where can she enter the Jiaofang Palace? There is no need to mention this matter again. ”
"What's more, the county official personally pointed out that I and the two would determine the candidate for the queen, but in the end the little girl was elected as the queen, I am afraid that there is a suspicion of nepotism, and I am afraid that the world will talk about it."
Yang Chang hurriedly said: "There is a saying in "Zuo Biography": external actions do not avoid hatred, and internal actions do not avoid relatives. This is the word of a saint, who dares to talk about it? ”
That's the terrible thing about studying the Bible.
After Dong Zi proposed to "overthrow the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone", the status of Confucian scriptures in the Han Empire increased day by day.
Big and small things are ever-changing, and naturally it is impossible to find a basis in those dozen or so scriptures.
However, only by reading the Bible by heart can we control the power of exegesis. If you control the power to interpret the scriptures, you can control the right to speak, and you are the embodiment of a saint.
Who would dare to be the enemy of the saints?
Just like Yang Chang at this moment, this sentence in "Zuo Chuan" is obviously used to explain "recommending talents", but it was used by him to establish the queen.
Invisibly, it provides a legal basis for Huo Guang's "relatives".
Sure enough, after Yang Chang finished speaking, Huo Guang didn't shirk again, he caressed the case a little proudly, and seemed to have won the battle.
In fact, it is true, Huo Guang has already won the battle.
"Uncle Lu, do you have any objections to the old man's proposal?" Yang Chang asked Liu De as if defiantly.
"Now that the prime minister and the general have been decided, the lower officials have no objections."
"Good, good, good!" Yang Chang said three good words in a row before he stood up tremblingly and said, "We finally lived up to the trust of the county officials." ”
The candidates have been decided, and several people have discussed the specific date of the wedding and canonization of the Son of Heaven.
Liu De argued on the basis of reason this time, and postponed the queen's canonization ceremony again and again on the grounds that Emperor Xiaozhao was not long in the morning, it was too hot in the hot summer to salute, it was not suitable to disturb the people in the autumn harvest, and the cold winter should change the yuan first......
This time, Liu De tried his best, and finally forced Yang Chang and Huo Guang to set the official wedding date in February of the following year.
This is already the biggest interference that Liu De can cause to Huo Guang.
"Since this matter has been decided, it should be reported to the Son of Heaven as soon as possible......"
Before Yang Chang's words were finished, Liu De immediately recommended himself: "Without further ado, the lower officials are willing to go on this trip." ”
Huo Guang was stunned for a moment, could it be that this Liu De has changed his temperament and wants to be good friends with himself?
"Okay, then Uncle Lu will report this matter to the county official, and then the Shangshu Department will also prepare an edict, announce it to the world, bring the New Year to welcome the spring, and then let the three Jieyu and the queen enter the palace, marry the Son of Heaven, and accept the official canonization of the county official." Huo Guang said.
"No."
……
When Liu De came out of the Shangshu Office, he only felt that his mouth was dry.
Before I knew it, a few hours had passed.
Liu De has been an official for more than ten years, from a small official to Zongzheng, Liu De has never felt so tired.
However, Liu De felt that it was worth it.
When Emperor Xiaozhao was in power, he was still young and couldn't do anything he wanted; Now, it's up to you to do what you can.
Not only because he is a relative of the Liu family, but also because of His Majesty's "uncle".
Isn't it the responsibility of the elders to shelter their children and nephews from the wind and rain?
Thinking of this, Liu De's tiredness was much lighter, he stomped his somewhat sore feet, and walked towards the Qingliang Hall in the east.
He wanted to go to the Qingliang Hall immediately, on the one hand, to tell the Son of Heaven the results of today's discussion, and on the other hand, to take this opportunity to talk openly and honestly with the Son of Heaven.
The Huo clan above the court has no longer lost its tail, and it has reached the point where it can no longer stay.
……
When Liu De rushed to the Qingliang Palace, Liu He was standing at the door of the hall, looking out with his hands behind his back.
He knew that Huo Guang and a few people would discuss the matter after the selection of the concubine in the Shangshu Office today, although he arranged Liu De to be included, but he also knew that this would not change the overall situation.
Huo Guang was determined to send his daughter to the dragon couch, so no one could stop him.
It's just to see what benefits Liu De's "Thousand Miles Horse" can win for himself.
And Liu He stood outside the hall, just to see who would come to tell him about it.
If it was Huo Guang, Liu He could call his father-in-law in advance; If it was Yang Chang, Liu He could scare him again; If it is Liu De, then the matter of Huo Huo can speed up some steps.
After waiting for a long time, he finally saw the person clearly, and Liu He's eyes lit up.
Liu De also saw the Son of Heaven at the gate of the palace from afar, and hurriedly quickened his pace and came to the Son of Heaven: "Weichen Liu De greets Your Majesty." ”
Liu He smiled and said, "Uncle doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly." ”
"Your Majesty, the word uncle, Weichen can't afford it, please don't mention it again, Your Majesty." Liu De still said in trepidation.
"This is my edict, does my uncle want to resist the edict?"
"This, this ......"
"Uncle is cautious, unlike some of the previous ministers of the Han Dynasty who were pampered and arrogant, I am very pleased."
Hearing this, Liu De raised his head abruptly and looked at the Son of Heaven with an inquiring eye, could it be that the Son of Heaven was hinting at something?
However, Liu He didn't say anything, just increased the strength in his hand, and then said, "In this way, when there is no one in the future, I will call you uncle; When there are people, you are still the head of the court. ”
"This ......"
"Huh? Uncle pushes left and right, does he not regard himself as a relative of the Liu family, or does he not regard me as a relative of the Liu family? ”
The Son of Heaven is the son of the sect, and the son of the sect is the embodiment of the ancestors of the generations in the world.
To deny one's ancestors is to deny one's own ancestors and ancestors.
Liu De no longer had a reason to refuse, and once again saluted in fear.
……
In the Cool Hall, there are a lot less ice cubes than in previous days, so there is some stuffiness.
"Your Majesty, it seems that it is too hot in this cool hall, and you should prepare more ice cubes." Liu De said.
"Well, I'm alone in the Qingliang Palace, I don't need so many ice cubes, I ordered them to take them down, and those ice cubes were sent to the nearby Lang Guan's bedroom, they need it more than me."
Liu He said very calmly, as if this was a normal thing, but it surprised Liu De again.
Why does this son of heaven seem to be different from when he was in Changyi Kingdom?
"Why does my uncle look at me like this, because he thinks that I am a dissolute and rebellious person, and I should not do such a thing of loving the people like a son?"
"Wei, Weichen is rude, please forgive your majesty!" After speaking, Liu De got up and saluted again.
"I've said it, there's no need to be polite."
"Yes, yes......" Liu De wiped his sweat and sat back for the time being, he found that the Son of Heaven seemed to have a ability to penetrate the world.
"It's all the middle father, uncle and other three princes and nine kings who taught me well, and I understand a lot." Liu He said with a smile, with some banter.
It is clear that everyone says that the Son of Heaven is crazy and dissolute - then there is only one possibility, the Son of Heaven is deliberately showing weakness and showing weakness to the general.
Thinking of this, the sweat on Liu De's forehead was rubbed more and more.
Everything was seen by Liu He, but he remained silent. Since this Liu De is here, Liu He has to try his quality.
"Uncle, when you entered the palace today, are you here to discuss with the middle father and the prime minister about the selection of concubines?"
"Exactly."
Liu He smiled bitterly, his wife and concubine were decided by several other men without even seeing him, and this harem matter didn't seem to be interesting.
"What is the result, who did the prime minister and the middle father choose?"
Liu De didn't dare to slack off, and immediately told everything that happened in the Shangshu Office.
Of course, Liu De only selected important "information" to say, but he did not mention the dissatisfaction in his heart at all.
Although the Son of Heaven is a little different from the past, when the Son of Heaven calls the middle father, he is sincere, and Liu De does not dare to hold it up until the moment when it is completely clear.
Of course, Liu He will not know these women, and the records of them in the history books are even more blank.
But Liu He remembered the high-ranking family behind them.
The harem is an extension of the court, and what you can't get in the court, don't want to get it in the harem.
Liu Deneng forced Yang Chang and Huo Guang to get rid of a Fan Mingyou, and postponed the canonization ceremony for half a year, which is already very capable.
"Uncle, you have done a good job in this matter, and I am very satisfied."
