Perhaps it is true to the saying, plans can never keep up with changes.
The original plan was to send out surprise troops to Guanzhong to fight guerrillas and cause trouble, thereby buying Prime Minister Zhuge Liang more time to capture Longyou when he sent troops out of Qishan.
Unexpectedly, Liu Chan changed his mind once he reached Guanzhong.
It was because he was worried that even if the prime minister occupied Longyou, the Han might not be able to hold Longyou, so he took the risk to seize Tongguan, Wuguan, and Pubanjin.
Of course, the result was that Liu Chan won the bet.
Now that he has arrived outside Chang'an City from Shu for the second time, Liu Chan is actually still a little frightened. If something went wrong last time, maybe he is no longer alive.
Woo, woo, woo——
While Liu Chan was deep in thought, several long horn sounds sounded, bringing him back to reality from his memories.
Boom, boom, boom--
Immediately afterwards, several more drums sounded.
Zhang Yuan seemed a little excited. The little golden bean held by the nanny next to him was babbling in the nanny's arms. I don't know what she was saying.
"Your Highness the Princess!"
"Back to Beijing!"
Listening to the nanny laughing and talking to Xiao Jindou in a low voice, Liu Chan and Zhang Yuan, who were getting on the carriage, couldn't help but smile at each other.
At this moment, the team walking in front slowly spread to both sides, leaving a wide passage. In front of the road, a group of court civil and military officials stood respectfully.
Behind these civil and military officials and on both sides of the official road, there were nearly 10,000 people near Chang'an City. No one dared to speak at this time. They looked solemnly and stared closely at the luxury motorcade on the official road.
SNSD——
As the carriage slowly stopped, the waiting maid gently opened the curtain, and the Han Emperor Liu Chan and Queen Zhang Yuan walked out of the carriage hand in hand.
"I respectfully welcome Your Majesty!"
Led by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, he led nearly a hundred civil and military officials to respectfully salute Liu Chan on the carriage.
"Everyone is safe!"
Following Liu Chan's loud shout, all the civil and military officials thanked him and stood still. The next moment, the people of Chang'an who were watching suddenly shouted in unison:
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
Listening to this deafening roar, Liu Chan felt his blood boil all over his body. He enjoyed this feeling very much. This was a scene that an emperor should have.
In the midst of the people's roar, Liu Chan suddenly waved his hand.
"Enter the city!"
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, the welcoming officials immediately dispersed to both sides, leaving a passage for Luan Chai to pass. At this time, the carriage moved relatively slowly. Even if Liu Chan and Zhang Yuan were standing on the front platform of the carriage, they could not feel any bumps.<
/p>
Of course, this is also because the official road into Chang'an City is relatively flat.
On both sides of the long passage were Chang'an people standing and watching.
Wherever the Emperor Luanjia went, the people on both sides would cheer loudly.
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"..."
This sound continued from outside Chang'an City to the Imperial Palace of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an City.
After almost half an hour, Liu Chan's chariot arrived in front of the gate of a tall and majestic palace city.
Weiyang Palace of the Han Dynasty.
This was the imperial palace during the Western Han Dynasty. However, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the capital was moved to Luoyang. Later, there were decades of wars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Weiyang Palace is actually not as good as before.
As early as the last time Liu Chan entered Chang'an City, he had actually been to this palace.
At that time, although the palace city was still there, it seemed a bit dilapidated.
But now——
The tall and majestic palace city has been completely renewed.
In the center of the city is a huge flag with the Chinese character "Han", and the walls on both sides are covered with banners inlaid with dragons, as well as guards with five steps, one post, and ten steps.
In front of the palace gate, there were nearly a hundred golden-armored warriors lined up neatly. Each of them looked solemn and majestic until the emperor's chariot arrived in front of the palace.
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
After three thousand years of the Han Dynasty, three drums suddenly sounded above the palace city.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Your Majesty is welcome back to the palace!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
Following the song of a ritual officer, all the imperial guards in front of the palace gate and on the palace city knelt on one knee and shouted long live His Majesty in unison.
As the warriors uniformly shouted "Long live the mountain", Liu Chan's Luan Jia arrived at the palace gate with great force.
Entering the palace——
The motorcade slowly entered the palace gate, and people in front and behind were still shouting: "Long live the great man, long live your Majesty." Liu Chan, who was sitting in the carriage, had a solemn face. Although he was also passionate at this time, he also knew that he
Your life will completely change from here.
When the carriage enters the palace, the first thing that catches the eye is the front hall of Weiyang Palace of the Han Dynasty, which is composed of three tall palaces.
The front hall is about three hundred paces long and one hundred paces wide.
There is a large square in front of the palace that is a hundred paces long and fifty paces wide. On the square at this moment, a pair of golden armored warriors are lined up neatly. The chariot Liu Chan is riding passes through the warriors. Wherever he passes, the warriors are all solemn.
He stood up and shouted: "The great Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years."
According to the procedure, when Liu Chan entered the palace, he would not immediately go to the front hall to ascend the palace. Instead, he would first go back to the harem to rest for a while, and then go to the front hall to hold his first court meeting after entering Chang'an.
The chariot bypasses the front hall and enters the first hall of the harem - Xuanshi Hall.
In the Western Han Dynasty, Xuanshi Hall was the place where the emperor lived daily.
Now this palace has also welcomed its new owner-Liu Chan.
Liu Chan entered the Xuanshi Palace, while Queen Zhang Yuan, under the guidance of the palace maid, took the little princess Liu Rongyue to the Jiaofang Palace, because the Jiaofang Palace was the palace where the queen lived during the Western Han Dynasty.
Let’s talk about Liu Chan who entered Xuanshi Hall first.
The last time he went to Chang'an, he had actually been here, and accompanied by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, he visited this huge palace of the Western Han Dynasty, but by then the palaces were already old.
But this time is different.
"The Prime Minister is interested!"
As soon as he entered the Xuanshi Hall, Liu Chan couldn't help but secretly said gratefully.
When the Prime Minister asked Liu Chan to temporarily return to Chengdu, he said that he would renovate the palace. After walking through this road, Liu Chan looked carefully and saw that no major changes had been made to the palaces and halls along the road. It should be said that they were only renovated.
The paint on the palace walls was newly painted, and the interior of the palace was replaced with a batch of new furniture and ornaments. The most important thing is that there are more tables, chairs, and benches in the palace.
For example, in the Xuanshi Hall, there is a large book desk and a wooden chair with carved dragons.
The last time Liu Chan came in, the table was still a low table. If the emperor wanted to read memorials and read books here, he had to kneel down.
However, after Liu Chan asked carpenters to develop tables and chairs in Chengdu, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang replaced all the low tables and chairs with tables and chairs.
In addition to an imperial desk and dragon chair, there are two rows of bookcases and various pottery and porcelain.
"Fu'an!"
Liu Chan sat down on the dragon chair behind the imperial case and called Fu'an.
Fu'an was his personal eunuch, and he was the general manager of the harem in Chengdu. At this time, the capital was moved to Chang'an, so he naturally followed Liu Chan here.
Fu'an is forty-six years old this year and has always been honest and honest. Liu Chan likes him very much because he is very obedient and honest, and he can basically do everything he is asked to do very well.
"Your Majesty!"
Fu'an bowed and responded.
"Now that the capital has been moved to Weiyang Palace, the palace city is much larger than Chengdu;" Liu Chan said: "You should pay more attention to the management of the palace."
"My slave obeys the order!"
Fu'an was very happy. After all, in Chengdu before, the palace was not big. The total number of maids and eunuchs in the harem totaled three to five hundred people.
Now we have arrived at the Weiyang Palace. Not to mention the entire Weiyang Palace, in fact, the Xuanshi Palace is even bigger than the Xinghan Palace in Chengdu. In the future, the eunuchs and maids in the palace will also have to dig through it.
Fu'an is the general manager of the harem, so he naturally has to manage these maids and eunuchs.
Liu Chan was arranging Fu'an, but Queen Zhang Yuan was very relaxed. When she came to Jiaofang Hall, she was immediately surprised by the queen's palace.
Previously in Chengdu, the palace she lived in was also named Jiaofang Palace.
It’s just that this Jiaofang Palace is comparable, not that Jiaofang Palace.
The main hall alone is two or three times larger than the bedrooms in Chengdu. There are two side halls next to it. In addition to the five maids and five eunuchs she brought from Chengdu, the Jiaofang Hall has prepared ten more for her.
Several palace maids, mothers-in-law, and eunuchs.
After entering the palace, the accompanying eunuchs and maids were busy tidying up the palace, while Queen Zhang Yuan was busy redressing and dressing up, because in an hour, she would attend the first court meeting entering Weiyang Palace with Emperor Liu Chan.<
/p>
Dressing up, of course, there is also Emperor Liu Chan.
After entering the Xuanshi Palace, after a short rest, Liu Chan, with the help of a group of palace maids and eunuchs, re-dressed in imperial robes and waited for his first court meeting in Weiyang Palace.
The beginning of time——
On the square in the front hall of Weiyang Palace, with the sound of three-tone drums, the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty who had been waiting outside the palace gate slowly entered the palace gate under the guidance of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.
It was the first time to hold a court meeting in Weiyang Palace. The etiquette and ceremony were very complicated. There was only a distance of three hundred steps from the palace gate to the front hall. It took hundreds of civil and military officials nearly half an hour to finally enter the front hall.
Above the main hall.
Of course, there were less than a hundred officials who actually entered the main hall. They were all important officials of the imperial court. The rest of the officials stood on the platform outside the main hall.
Just when the civil and military officials entered the main hall, Liu Chan, who had been waiting for a long time in Xuanshi Hall, and Queen Zhang Yuan, who had come from Jiaofang Hall earlier, slowly arrived under the guidance of all the palace maids and eunuchs.
The entrance to the front hall.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Following the eunuch's shout, all the civil and military officials in the hall immediately straightened their official uniforms.
SNSD——
Emperor Liu Chan and Queen Zhang Yuan walked slowly into the hall.
Seeing Liu Chan coming in, all the civil and military officials immediately stood up straight. Liu Chan looked relaxed. Looking at these civil and military officials standing in the main hall, he was very satisfied.
This is his new rule in Chengdu.
When going to court, the civil and military ministers did not set up seats. Jiang Wan later discussed this matter with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister did not feel that what the emperor did was excessive, but felt that Liu Chan's approach was more appropriate.
The Celestial Dynasty must have the majesty of the Celestial Dynasty.
The main hall of the front hall is rectangular, facing north and south. The whole hall is about fifty steps long and thirty steps wide. In the middle of the due north is a nine-foot-high platform. In the middle of the platform, there is an imperial desk and an imperial desk.
There is a carved dragon seat, and next to it is a glutinous rice chair.
Liu Chan and Zhang Yuan slowly climbed onto the high platform and sat on the dragon and gold chairs respectively.
"Bye!"
Waiting for Liu Chan and Zhang Yuan to sit down, the eunuch who announced the ceremony immediately shouted loudly, and all the civil and military officials above the main hall immediately bowed and saluted Liu Chan.
"I see your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
After all the civil and military officials paid homage, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang announced that the Han Dynasty had officially moved its capital to Chang'an, and then the courtiers congratulated the emperor.
It's almost half an hour before this ceremony is over.
Of course, it is a great joy to move the capital.
At Zhuge Liang's request, he rewarded the meritorious officials in the Battle of Guanzhong.
Among them, Zhao Yun performed meritorious service in guarding Wuguan and was awarded the title of Marquis of Wugong. He was also the only general who was awarded the title of Marquis during the Northern Expedition.
The rest, such as Wei Yan and others, were all promoted one level.
There is also the newly surrendered Guo Huai, who was canonized as the General of the Guard Army; Hao Zhao was made the General of the Right Guard Army, and Jiang Wei joined the army for the Prime Minister's Office.
Then there are the generals of the New Army led by Liu Chan.
Guo Wei joined the army for the Prime Minister's Office, Yang Tongshan was awarded the title of Xiaoqi Xiaowei, Lu Peng was made the commander of the Imperial Guard, and the other generals all received rewards.
Liu Chan is particularly satisfied with this award.
Of course, especially the reward for Lu Peng, because when he was in Chengdu, the commander of the Imperial Guard was Fei Yi. Although Liu Chan knew that this man was also a loyal minister, no matter what, he must be more obedient to the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.
p>
But now, the prime minister directly appointed Lu Peng, Liu Chan's personal soldier, as the commander of the imperial guards. This means that when he was in Chengdu, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang knew everything about Liu Chan's every move. After all, Fei Yi was the commander of the imperial guards.
Zhuge Liang wanted to know something about Liu Chan, and Fei Yi would definitely tell him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But after the Battle of Guanzhong, Zhuge Liang has actually discovered.
Your Majesty has grown up.
Although the soldiers marched out of Ziwu Road, it was a bit risky.
But after all, the adventure was successful. Originally, he only wanted to capture the five counties of Longyou. Now, precisely because of your majesty's adventure, the Han Dynasty not only captured the five counties of Longyou, but also occupied the entire Guanzhong.
What's more, when he led his army to Tongguan, Liu Chan actually used 5,000 new troops to block Cao Wei General Zhang He's 50,000 elite troops from Tongguan.
In addition, Liu Chan also developed cement, lime, three-bow bed crossbow, etc.
It is definitely not realistic to continue to allow His Majesty to sit in the deep palace.
It is better to give His Majesty some room to grow.
After all, the emperor is becoming more and more promising, which is also a good thing for the Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang is naturally very happy.
The capital relocation ceremony and the award ceremony are over.
Liu Chan is already a little tired. After all, he arrived at Chang'an in the morning after a long journey, and now he has been struggling for so long. I think we should end this court meeting.
But——
Just when Liu Chan was delighted, the first court meeting in Weiyang Palace should have ended.
Shang Shulang Qiao Zhou suddenly left work.
Qiao Zhou was originally a scholar of the Han Dynasty, but this time he moved the capital to Chang'an, and Qiao Zhou was promoted to Shangshu Lang.
"Start your Majesty!"
Qiao Zhou said loudly: "Today we, a big man, officially entered Chang'an, and it was all due to your majesty's personal campaign. If it hadn't been for your majesty's troops coming out of Ziwu Road, it would have been difficult for me, a big man, to enter Chang'an."
As soon as Qiao Zhou finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent. Even Liu Chan, who was on the high platform, couldn't help but tense up.
Xin Dao, Qiao Lao, what do you want to do?
"Previously, it was because Your Majesty was young that I, the great Han Dynasty, set up the Prime Minister's Office to manage state affairs."
Hiss——
When Qiao Zhou said these words, everyone was stunned. Of course, except for some people who were a little surprised, some officials were secretly proud.
Liu Chan wanted to stop him, because he was not a fool. If the old man said this, do you still need to think about the next words?
"Now that I, the great man, have returned to the old capital, I think that the Prime Minister will return to your Majesty immediately."
No surprise, Qiao Zhou still said it.
Liu Chan couldn't help but shake his head secretly, Qiao Zhou is Qiao Zhou.
Even in history, he still had this character and dared to say anything.
As soon as Qiao Zhou finished speaking, several ministers echoed him, such as General Wei Yan, who had been promoted to the next level, and others.
The Prime Minister returns the administration to Your Majesty.
This is a bit harsh.
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang on the side was not surprised by this. As soon as a few people finished speaking, Zhuge Liang came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, I will second your opinion."
Although Zhuge Liang's words were short, they shocked everyone in the court.
For example, people from the Yizhou faction such as Qiao Zhou thought that by moving the capital to Chang'an, the political situation of the Han Dynasty would be slightly stable, and the Han Dynasty would no longer take the initiative to send troops to Cao Wei in a short period of time. Recuperation and recuperation were the most correct choice for the Han Dynasty at the moment.
Since there is no need to take the initiative to send troops to fight, we can take the opportunity to return Zhuge Liang to power.
However, none of them thought of it.
Zhuge Liang actually agreed.
He is actually willing to give up his rights?
Liu Chan was not surprised, because there are many records about the prime minister in history, and even though he had governed Shuzhong for more than ten years and finally died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, he had no extra land under his name.
And if he was really a traitor like Cao Cao, his position was not passed on to his heirs after his death.
The Prime Minister is so upright and upright, but these ministers are not sure.
But Liu Chan believed it firmly.
Let the Prime Minister return to power at this time?
Just as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Liu Chan suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, waved his hands to the ministers, and then slowly said: "Qiao Qing is surprised by what he said. The battle in Guanzhong was not my fault. If the Prime Minister hadn't rushed to the throne immediately,
Even if we reach Tongguan, it is impossible for me, a big man, to win the Battle of Guanzhong."
Liu Chan first gave the credit to Prime Minister Zhuge, and then said: "As for what Aiqing said about returning the government to me, where do you start with this?"
"The Prime Minister opens the government to govern the world and shares my worries. This is what I have agreed to do." He said with a smile: "Besides, the Prime Minister always informs me of all important matters in advance and only implements them with my permission. How about returning to power?"
Say? What do you want the Prime Minister to do to me?"
Liu Chan's words stunned all the ministers.
Because his words are not false.
Although the Prime Minister founded the government to govern the country, many national government policies originated from the Prime Minister's Office.
But as Liu Chan said, Zhuge Liang always reports to Liu Chan first for all major events. Although in the eyes of many people, the so-called reporting is just a formality, and will ultimately be implemented according to Zhuge Liang's wishes.
But Liu Chan knows it very well.
For example, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang in history.
If nothing else, let’s talk about the first Northern Expedition.
Originally, Zhuge Liang submitted a request to lead the Northern Expedition, but Liu Chan thought that Cao Wei was stronger. At the same time, the Han Dynasty had just experienced the southern expedition to quell the chaos, and felt that it was time to recuperate and recuperate.
But Zhuge Liang understood very well that at that time, Cao Pi died of illness and Cao Rui had just ascended the throne. Moreover, Guanzhong was empty at that time, which was a good opportunity for the Han Dynasty's Northern Expedition. If he missed it, it would be difficult to get such a good opportunity again.
Ever since, Zhuge Liang’s world-famous example of teaching as a teacher came into being.
If Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was good at dictatorship, even if Liu Chan disagreed, he would lead the troops to go out. What kind of deployment plan would be necessary?
The purpose of writing the teacher list was simply because Emperor Liu Chan did not agree to send troops, but Zhuge Liang felt that this was a great opportunity for the Northern Expedition and could not be missed, so Chen said that the matter was serious and hoped to get Liu Chan's permission?
In view of this, Liu Chan is not an empty emperor.
What he said still has a certain weight.
As for the so-called Zhuge Liang who wielded power and directly imprisoned Liu Chan in the harem in later generations, in fact, this was just a conspiracy theory, so I thought that Zhuge Liang, who controlled the political power of the Han Dynasty, was also a powerful minister like Cao Cao.
But now Liu Chan has traveled to this era. Through his understanding and personal experience over the years, he also understands the prime minister of the Han Dynasty better.
"Xiangfu!" Liu Chan then said to Zhuge Liang: "The affairs of the government are still under the control of Xiangfu. Managing the country is not my strong point. Xiangfu must not shirk it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Liu Chan said it very truthfully.
Zhuge Liang in the main hall was very moved.
He did not value these so-called rights. He just wanted to fulfill his duties faithfully. Through his efforts, he could complete the late emperor's great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty.
Now he is really happy to see His Majesty growing up.
If His Majesty is really able to stand alone and is willing to manage the country's affairs personally, he will be more than willing to relieve himself of the heavy burden and assist him, just as he assisted the late Emperor.
But now, Liu Chan’s words are so real.
He didn't shirk.
"Old minister accepts the order!"
The emperor has already spoken, and the matter of returning to power has come to an end. Even Qiao Zhou, no one is willing to continue fighting for it.
Because the emperor doesn’t care, no matter how hard they fight, it’s of no use.
At the same time, they all knew more clearly that the emperor's trust in the prime minister was not something they could compare to.
This is what Liu Chan hopes to see.
The Han Dynasty wanted long-term peace and stability, so he would not make any changes in a short period of time, or while the prime minister was still alive, because he believed that Zhuge Liang's ability to govern the country must be much better than his.
p>
Of course——
Even if he believes in historical records and has spent these years with Zhuge Liang, he is convinced that Zhuge Liang is as upright and loyal as historical records.
But now the Han Dynasty is no longer the small court of the Shu Han Dynasty that was in a corner of history, so I just mentioned deliberately that the prime minister will inform me of all major events before they are implemented.
This is actually a reserved statement.
If you were not an emperor, you might not think so much.
Even though you know that the prime minister is a loyal minister, the emperor is a dangerous profession, so you should be careful to avoid having no way out in the future.
Of course, this does not mean that you don’t believe the Prime Minister.
It’s just because as an emperor, you have to think more about yourself.
Government affairs are settled.
It's time to leave the court now.
Don’t even think about it——
"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang saluted again at this time and said: "The continuation of the country is related to the fate of the country. I know that your Majesty is kind and kind. Since he ascended the throne, there is only one queen in the harem."
After saying this, Queen Zhang Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.
What does the Prime Minister want to do?
"In order to better continue the great dynasty of the Han Dynasty, I respectfully request your majesty to select additional concubines on a certain date to extend the royal family's incense."
"Prime Minister!" Liu Chan said hurriedly: "As long as I have a queen, the country will continue. There is no rush. Now that I have a daughter, and the queen and I are still young, there will definitely be more princes born in the future."<
/p>
"I think it's better to avoid the matter of selecting additional concubines."
Liu Chan really hasn't thought about adding a harem now. After getting along with Zhang Yuan for so many years, he is very satisfied, and he has seen too many harem fights in his previous life.
He is a little scared.
As the saying goes, three women perform a drama. If there were too many women in the harem, it might become a mess. The Han Dynasty has not yet reached the time of peace and prosperity.
What's more, in his bones, he has long believed that monogamy is the best system, what about three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines.
He really doesn't want to.
But——
Zhuge Liang suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud, which shocked Liu Chan. This was the first time Zhuge Liang knelt down to him, because in this era, people were not used to kneeling, and they would only do so in a few years or hundreds of years.
, Liu Chan doesn’t remember exactly how long it took.
Anyway, kneeling down was not a common practice in the Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang knelt down and said, "The regulations for the emperor's harem are formulated by our ancestors. Your Majesty is the emperor of the Han Dynasty. How can there be only one person in the harem? Please agree to select additional concubines for the harem."
"Your Majesty, please give priority to the Han Dynasty and select additional concubines for the harem."
As soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, all the ministers in the hall knelt on the ground and asked in unison: "Your Majesty, please put the great man first and select more concubines for the harem."
"Your Majesty, please give priority to the Han Dynasty and select additional concubines for the harem."
"Your Majesty, please give priority to the Han Dynasty and select additional concubines for the harem."
"..."
Oh my god——
Looking at the civil and military officials of the entire court, they all knelt on the ground. Even the low-level officials outside the main hall also knelt on the ground and asked the emperor to select more concubines.
Liu Chan was completely confused.
I’m not lustful, isn’t it bad?
You people actually forced me to select additional concubines for my harem.
Of course, he also knew that these ministers were pleading like this.
It’s also for the sake of the country.
Especially for this kind of feudal dynasty, the continuation of Guozuo is a big deal. It is also for this reason that emperors in the past dynasties have so many concubines, simply because they want the emperor to have more children.
In this way, if the emperor dies a hundred years later, or dies young, at least there will still be someone who can succeed him. Otherwise, if no one succeeds, the country will be in chaos.
It's just that Liu Chan loved Zhang Yuan very much and told Zhang Yuan many times that he would not choose a concubine because he only loved Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan was deeply moved and felt that she was the luckiest queen in history.
But now——
Seeing the civil and military requests from the court, Zhang Yuan was a little surprised at first, but as the ministers all knelt on the ground to plead, Zhang Yuan knew that His Majesty loved him, and that was his destiny.
But she couldn't be so selfish, so when all the ministers knelt down to ask for orders, she also got up from the chair, walked slowly to the steps, and stood in front of the courtiers.
Then he also knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please put the great man first and select more concubines from the harem to extend the country."
"..."
In an instant, in the entire hall, except for the serving maids and eunuchs, the other court ministers and Queen Zhang Yuan were all kneeling in the hall, asking Liu Chan for permission to select additional concubines.
And——
The reasons they gave made Liu Chan unable to refuse.
In order to continue the great Han Dynasty.
This is no small matter. Even if Liu Changui is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he cannot ignore the continuation of the Han Dynasty.
Helpless——
"Your Majesty, please get up!" Liu Chan quickly walked down the steps, helped Prime Minister Zhuge Liang up and said, "I will do as you please."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhuge Liang was very happy. He raised this matter once in Chengdu. At that time, Liu Chan had just ascended the throne, but Liu Chan shied away on the grounds that he put national affairs first.
But now, he must let Liu Chan quickly choose some concubines.
Because it has been several years since Liu Chan took the throne, and Queen Zhang Yuan has only given birth to a princess until now, which is not a good thing.
If we add more concubines, maybe some princes will be born soon.
After all, it would be better for the queen alone to have more concubines to help, so that this matter can happen faster.
After getting Liu Chan's consent, Zhuge Liang said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have discussed with all the ministers and will select twelve more concubines for your Majesty this time."
"How much?" Liu Chan was shocked when he heard this.
"Twelve people;" Zhuge Liang said casually: "If your Majesty feels that the number is not enough, you can increase it to twenty-four."
As soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Liu Chan almost laughed.
In his memory, Prime Minister Zhuge was an elder. Liu Chan was shocked when he said these words.
Of course, what surprised him the most was that he had to choose twelve concubines for him at once.
"No!" Liu Chan hurriedly shook his head and refused: "It's not that I don't think there are too many people, but that twelve people are too many." As he said that, he glanced at Zhang Yuan aside and said seriously: "I think, even if
If you want to add more concubines, you can add up to two more."
Two people?
Everyone was stunned.
Your Majesty, are you stupid?
That man would dislike having too many wives and concubines?
Let’s talk about the ministers present. It’s not like they have three wives and four concubines. Even Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who has always been upright and upright, still has two concubines in addition to his wife Huang.
Liu Chan is the emperor, but now he only has one queen.
"Your Majesty, no!" Zhuge Liang refused: "If your Majesty does not mind the large number of people, he will decide on twelve concubines, and the veteran minister will arrange officials to select concubines for your majesty on a certain day."
"My Prime Minister!" Although Liu Chan has always respected the Prime Minister, at this moment, he had to retort for the first time: "If your Prime Minister agrees, I can add two more concubines. If your Prime Minister refuses, I will immediately take the throne with you.
My father-in-law can choose countless concubines to extend the country, but I don’t care.”
Plop——
Liu Chan's words are too lethal.
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he immediately knelt down again.
"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang said in fear: "I don't dare, I will choose my concubine according to His Majesty's will."
Liu Chan was secretly proud.
He respected the prime minister very much, but he really didn't want to add so many concubines at once, twelve women, which would tire him to death.
And if so many women come to the harem, it will turn the world upside down.
Choosing two people, plus Zhang Yuan, there are only three people. With his understanding of Zhang Yuan over the years, Zhang Yuan will definitely be able to have a good relationship with the two new concubines, and even if the three of them cause some little awkwardness or something,
, the emperor Liu Chan needed to adjust, and he could deal with it calmly.
If there were twelve people, he would really be too busy.
Wanting to reject Prime Minister Zhuge's good intentions, Liu Chan knew that it would be difficult to persuade him just by persuading him with good words. It would be more practical to act like a little rogue.
Anyway, the prime minister watched Liu Chan grow up. The younger generation sometimes acts rogue and gets a little temperamental in front of the elders. As long as he doesn't do it, it doesn't cause any harm.
It is particularly useful to use the Zen position.
Prime Minister Zhuge is a very loyal man. Hearing this, he had to compromise obediently. He couldn't say yes. Let's take a look at your Zen position.
Of course, even if Liu Chanchan is really placed behind Zhuge Liang.
He is also very willing.
After all, as a time traveler, Liu Chan knew that being an emperor in ancient times was the most dangerous profession, but he was lucky enough to have such a loyal and wise Prime Minister, Zhuge, by his side.
If he traveled through time and became Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, or Cao Huan, etc., he would be surrounded by either Cao Pi or a treacherous minister like Sima Yan. Even if he is unwilling to abdicate, he will eventually be forced to abdicate.
Moreover, Liu Chan was a super Zhuge fan in his previous life. If possible, he would really give up the throne to Zhuge Liang.
Perhaps by giving up the throne to Zhuge Liang, the great Han might go further.
Of course, this is just talk. Not to mention that even if Liu Chan is willing to do this, he can live a happy life, but he knows very well that even if he is willing, Zhuge Liang is not willing.
Therefore, today he was just trying to be petty in order to refuse the selection of concubines because there were too many people.
But——
Liu Chan also knew that such words should not be used often.
Using it too much may make the Prime Minister think that Liu Chan is doubting his loyalty, which may be a kind of harm to Prime Minister Zhuge, who has always been loyal and virtuous.
In fact, after saying this, Liu Chan regretted a little when he saw Zhuge Liang kneeling on the ground with a thud. He felt that his joke might be too big.
If you just say it out loud, you can't take it back even if you want to take it back.
I can only remind myself not to make such jokes again.
After the dynasty dispersed, Liu Chan returned to the harem, still thinking about this matter.
Because he vaguely remembered that after making this joke, Prime Minister Zhuge's face became a little stiff, which may have hurt the Prime Minister.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhang Yuan noticed Liu Chan's displeasure and asked, "Why is your Majesty worried?"
"Alas!" Liu Chan sighed and said, "I just made a false statement and seemed to have hurt the Prime Minister..."
"Hee hee!" Zhang Yuan heard this and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is saying that if the prime minister refuses to choose the concubine, he will be the prime minister?"
"Yeah!" Liu Chan nodded slightly.
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty's words are indeed true, but Zitong believes that since the Prime Minister is an elder, he naturally knows that your Majesty is just joking, so he will not be resentful. Your Majesty, please do not worry."
Seeing that Liu Chan did not relent, Zhang Yuan then said: "If your majesty is worried, you might as well come to the door in person and explain something to the prime minister, which will eliminate the rift between the prime minister and your majesty."
As soon as Zhang Yuan finished speaking, Liu Chan suddenly raised his brows and said with a smile: "Zitong's words are very kind. I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion right now. I still have many things to say to the Prime Minister."
Liu Chan's worries were not unnecessary. After the dynasty dispersed, Zhuge Liang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he always looked gloomy.
He was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and the emperor suddenly said the word Zen.
I'm afraid this matter is a bit serious.
Moreover, the emperor has changed a lot in the past two years. He is no longer the submissive Adou he was familiar with. His Majesty is now more assertive.
And he never sticks to trivial matters.
The troops marching out of Ziwu Road and so on are not things that a weak person can accomplish.
There is also the new army trained by His Majesty.
Zhuge Liang thought a lot along the way.
Now that the Han Dynasty has just occupied Guanzhong, the court cannot tolerate chaos. Especially if there is a rift between the monarch and his ministers, it will be a disaster for the Han Dynasty.
However, what surprised Zhuge Liang was.
Not long after he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Prime Minister!"
A servant hurriedly ran in from outside and said: "Your Majesty is here."
"Your Majesty?"
Zhuge Liang was suddenly shocked. It had just been less than half an hour since the imperial court ended. Although the palace was not far from the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was only across the street.
But why did Your Majesty suddenly come to the Prime Minister's Mansion?
But the emperor had already arrived, so he didn't think much and hurried out to greet him. However, as soon as he came out of the inner hall, Liu Chan had already walked in from the outside.
"Father!"
As soon as they met, Liu Chan chuckled and then saluted Zhuge Liang.
The Liu Chan at this time was no different from the Liu Chan that Zhuge Liang was familiar with. Zhuge Liang immediately relaxed a lot, and he bowed respectfully in return: "I have seen your Majesty."
"Father, please hurry up and stop giving me gifts!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Zhuge Liang thanked him, he welcomed Liu Chan into the inner hall.
"Xiangfu!" As soon as Liu Chan sat down, he said with a smile: "Today I was joking in the court hall. I hope that Xiangfu will not worry about it. I was really just joking for a moment."
As the saying goes, rifts will inevitably arise between people.
But as long as we talk about it, it won't be a big deal.
Moreover, Zhuge Liang watched Liu Chan grow up, so he knew his temper to some extent. He would also show off his temper from time to time when he was a child.
At this time, he made a special trip to the Prime Minister's Mansion to explain. Zhuge Liang's confusion was immediately resolved.
Because he knew that Liu Chan had always regarded him as an elder and respected him very much.
As an elder and a minister, naturally you can't argue too much with the younger generation and the monarch.
As long as your majesty does not doubt the veteran minister.
Liu Chan was naturally overjoyed to have solved the knot in Zhuge Liang's heart. As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he still had many things to do and needed the dedicated assistance of this loyal and virtuous prime minister.
Only when the Prime Minister can govern the great Han Dynasty with peace of mind can he sit on the throne safely for a longer time. However, he cannot create unnecessary burdens on the Prime Minister and distract him.
The Han Dynasty cannot withstand any trouble now.
Of course, Liu Chan came to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person. In addition to resolving the misunderstanding caused by his momentary gaffe, he also had something very important to communicate with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.
