Liu Chengyou was originally determined to kill the powerful officials, but after being persuaded by Yan Jinqing, he hesitated in his heart. If these powerful officials were gone, could Li Ye and Guo Yunming really be able to suppress those arrogant and powerful generals? It’s really hard to say.

In the middle of winter, Liu Chengyou felt as if his heart was on fire. He poured two bowls of tea in a row but to no avail. Seeing that it was getting dark, he must have arranged everything. If he pulled back now, he would be ridiculed.

Children always love to call mother when they are helpless. Liu Chengyou, an immature emperor, is no different from a child. When he was helpless, he immediately thought of his mother, and immediately left the front palace and rushed to the harem.

Liu Chengyou's mother, Mrs. Li, was actually a legendary woman, and her reputation in later generations was very great, but it was only limited to opera lovers.

Anyone who has read the previous chapter knows that Zhu Wen had a beautiful and legendary love story, but little did they know that Liu Zhiyuan, another founding emperor of the Five Dynasties, also had a beautiful love story that will be talked about by future generations.

The heroine Li Sanniang in operas such as "The Jingtai Hui", "The Mill Club" and "The Story of the Red Robe" is Liu Chengyou's wife. Most of the songs tell the love story between Liu Zhiyuan and Li Sanniang.

However, most of the contents of these operas are jokes, which were randomly arranged by later generations based on Liu Zhiyuan and his wife. Although the love between the couple is not as beautiful as in the opera, they are still very affectionate.

It's a pity that Liu Zhiyuan died early, and his caring and loyal eldest son also died, leaving Li alone to live a lonely life in this cold and deep palace.

A pair of armor was placed on the low couch. The shiny breastplate was full of scars. This was the battle robe Liu Zhiyuan often wore before he became emperor. He pressed his face against the cold armor leaves and could vaguely smell the familiar body odor. It's just that this person has passed away. Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Li's tears fell on the leaves along the corners of her eyes.

"His Majesty……"

"Get out, get out! I have something to say to the Queen Mother!"

Hearing the sound outside, Queen Mother Li quickly stood up, wiped away her tears with her sleeves, opened the curtain and walked into the palace. She saw Liu Chengyou hurriedly coming in from the palace door, and asked with some complaints: "What happened?" In such a hurry, the Emperor has not visited the Ai family for quite some time, and your uncle has also come less frequently."

"My Queen Mother, who is busy with government affairs and has been neglectful, please forgive me, and I will take care of things for you on your Mother's birthday."

"My mother doesn't value these things. Just come and talk to her often when you have time." Seeing that Liu Chengyou's face was reddish and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, he reached out and wiped him with his sleeve, "You're already sweating. Don’t be afraid of catching the cold.”

Liu Chengyou pondered for a moment and said: "Mother, do you know that Yang Feng ignored the tributes sent from the local area and gave me and my mother only the rags he picked out?"

Empress Dowager Li was stunned and comforted: "So what, just think of it as a reward to him."

"My queen mother and I are the most noble people in the world, but we have to be raped and bullied by powerful people every day. Are we really willing to do this?"

Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, "The world is like this today. Compared with the emperors of the Tang Dynasty who were slaughtered by eunuchs, the Ai family and the emperor are already better. Your Majesty is still young, but they are already old. They don't have much time left." It depends on how many years they have been in the spotlight."

"But I can't wait any longer!"

Seeing Liu Chengyou gnashing his teeth, Queen Mother Li teased: "Maybe my son can still kill them."

Seeing that Liu Chengyou didn't answer a word for a long time, Empress Dowager Li put a smile on her face and asked, "Is the emperor really going to kill them?"

"Not yet, but I have already made a plan and will start tomorrow!" Liu Chengyou couldn't hide his pride, as if he was a child who had done something good and was waiting for praise from his mother.

Empress Dowager Li's face changed suddenly, "No! Your Majesty, please stop immediately. Without them, our country will be in danger."

"What are you saying, Queen Mother? This is my Liu family's kingdom. I am the emperor and have to be bullied and trampled by them all day long. Only then will the country be ruined."

Empress Dowager Li's tone became much more stern, "Your Majesty, it is true that this country belongs to my Liu family, but your father alone cannot defeat it, and it is impossible for Your Majesty to protect the country by yourself. They all belong to the late emperor. Yuan Cong's old troops were replaced by brothers and sisters during the late emperor's time. If you kill them, how will the civil and military forces of the court view your majesty? Who else will serve your majesty and charge into the battle with loyalty, and the country will perish in your majesty's hands."

"Go ahead and do it, I support you!" This is the only thing Liu Chengyou wants to hear when he comes here, which can make him have a good sleep with peace of mind.

However, Queen Mother Li seemed to be the least supportive of him among all the people, which made him feel angry, "What do you know as a woman? I am the real Dragon Emperor. With the blessing of God, there is nothing I can't do that I want to do. For example, This throne is beyond everyone’s reach!”

Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but was stunned. She was stunned for a while and then said: "What did you say! The Ai family had long thought that Xun'er's death was strange, but you did it!" As she said that, she raised her hand and slapped Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou snorted coldly, "He's already dead, so what's the point of hitting me."

Empress Dowager Li said sadly: "I only regret that the late emperor did not know your true face and passed the throne to you, a beast!"

"Haha... the queen mother thought the late emperor didn't know? The late emperor beat me much harder than the queen mother, but after the beating, the throne still had to be passed on to me. Is it possible to pass it on to the lame second brother? The late emperor was still teaching me how to do it before he died. The emperor asked me to kill Du Chongwei, re-appoint Shi Hongzhao and Yang Bin, and guard against Guo Wei..."

"Get lost! The Ai family doesn't want to hear it!"

"Then Queen Mother, please rest early, there will be good news tomorrow!" After Liu Chengyou said that, he turned and went out. The sharp north wind made the cloak behind him rustle and flutter, which was really cool.

"It's so cold!" Shi Hongzhao couldn't help but gasped when he got off the horse, rubbed his aching knees, and cursed: "Damn it, you always get sick of it in the winter."

The civil and military officials around him immediately began to fawn over him, probably even if the Grand Master was diligent in state affairs and committed a crime, he would come to court and so on. Some people even offered a few folk remedies.

"If you want any folk remedies, you can already tell me about it with just your mouth." A middle-aged civil servant with a capable appearance waved his robe sleeves and walked over with a smile. It was Wang Zhang, the third commander, who was also Gu. One of the Ministers of Life.

"Wang Jixiang!" All the officials greeted him one after another, and Wang Zhang returned the greeting with a smile. Apart from Guo Wei, Wang Zhang was the least pretentious among the five ministers who cared about life, and he was very popular.

"It's rare for a bad writer to come so early!" Shi Hongzhao also joked with a smile. The two of them have worked together for many years and have a good friendship, and they often joke with each other.

"Without my bad writing skills, I'm afraid your soldiers and horses wouldn't even be able to get paid! Where is Mr. Yang, is he still here?"

While he was talking, a carriage drove up to the palace gate. An old man in sixties got off the carriage and walked directly towards Shi Hongzhao. All the officials hurriedly bowed to greet him. This man was Yang Bin, the Prime Minister of the country. Although he was a minor official, It has quite an official air.

It was still dark, and the guards in front of the palace gate all had torches in their hands. Shi Hongzhao ordered a few and threw them on the ground. Soon there was a small fire. Yang Bin put his hand on the fire and rubbed it: "This winter is really bad.

cold!"

"No, I'm so cold! It's just not snowing. I'm afraid there will be another spring drought next year. Then you two will be busy again."

Yang Yan smiled and said, "It's better for me and Zhong Qing to be busy than for you to be busy. There is still some money and food in the official treasury to help the victims. By the way, I have received the things I gave you yesterday. There are several tiger bones in them, specially reserved for you.

of."

"Received, thank you very much, Mr. Xiang, for thinking about my old cold legs."

Wang Zhang said: "Xiaguan also received it, but isn't it a bit too much?"

"Not much. The Emperor is still young. How much use can a Queen Mother have for a woman?"

Shi Hongzhao said: "Can Wen Zhong's share be given to him?"

"How could he be missing? Twenty percent was sent to his house, and the rest was sent to Yedu. It's the right time for him to use money to win over his subordinates in the feudal town."

"My husband has the right idea!"

After the three of them chatted for a while, the palace door creaked open, and the civil and military officials filed into two teams. Usually Guo Wei, Shi Hongzhao, Yang Bin and Su Fengji were at the head of the team. Guo Wei didn't

In the capital, Su Fengji didn't come today for some reason, so it was Shi Yang, Wang Wang and the others who took the lead.

The palace of the Later Han Dynasty was not big. Not far from the palace gate was the Chongyuan Hall, the main hall. Shi Hongzhao walked up the steps and entered the palace gate at the same time as the other two ministers Gu Ming. When he looked up, he saw Liu Chengyou already sitting on the throne.

Su Fengji stood beside Liu Chengyou, both of them looking at him with smiles.

This was against the rules. In the previous dynasty, officials always stood before the emperor and finally took his place. There was no reason for the emperor to wait for his ministers. Shi Hongzhao was wondering when he heard the bang of the palace door behind him. He subconsciously turned around and saw that

The palace door has been closed, and Yan Jinqing, the envoy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, is standing behind him with an indifferent look on his face.

Shi Hongzhao immediately reprimanded, "Yan Jinqing, what the hell are you doing? Why don't you hurry up..."
