Chapter 6 Symposium

Renming Hall, the Empress Dowager's bedroom, is served by twenty-four internal servants, which already accounts for one-tenth of the number of people in the entire palace. It is evident that the Han Palace is sparsely populated. This was after Liu Zhiyuan entered Bian. Some people entered the palace to serve him.

Mr. Li was kind and generous. On weekdays, he was gentle and kind, so the people he served in the palace were relatively relaxed.

"The officials are here!" However, with the loud singing, the palace maids and eunuchs who were originally relaxed inside and outside Renming Hall immediately became nervous. Liu Chengyou was still the king of Zhou, and his stern face could already intimidate everyone. Not to mention that now that he has become the emperor, he cannot be neglected.

Passing through the crowd of saluting palace attendants, Liu Chengyou quickly walked directly into the palace.

In the palace, Mrs. Li was chatting with Mrs. Da Fu, Mrs. Gao and Mr. Geng. Of the three women, Da Fu was the queen, and she came from a famous family with a powerful family. Although Mrs. Gao was also a general, she had to marry again because of her remarriage. One head shorter; Geng has been following Liu Chengyou for the longest time, and she is pregnant, so her belly is already round...

However, Mrs. Li seemed very fair to her three daughters-in-law and did not show any bias in her words because of her inner preference. In addition, with the eldest princess Yongning beside her, the atmosphere seemed harmonious. But it was bitter. Liu Chengxun looked beside him, bored, but much quieter. He had not recovered from the pain of losing his father, and he was not as free as before.

When he heard the announcement, all the people stood up to greet him. Liu Chengyou only glanced around, waved to everyone to excuse themselves, and then respectfully paid homage to Mrs. Li first.

It was almost noon, and Li held a small family banquet in the palace and invited Liu Chengyou to come, which temporarily freed him from the heavy military and political affairs.

"Sister is here too?"

"Official family." Duke Yongning responded politely.

The eldest princess is very beautiful. She is already a wife and mother. She exudes the charm of a young woman. Song Yanwo is very blessed... The relationship between the two siblings is actually limited to blood relationship. There is no in-depth relationship in daily life. comminicate.

"Is it inappropriate to serve fish and meat like this during a national mourning period?" However, looking at the "full fish banquet", Liu Chengyou frowned slightly and looked at Mr. Li.

"You have been working hard on state affairs these days, and I have lost a lot of weight. It is time for me to replenish your weight." Li pointed at Liu Chengyou's increasingly sharp face and said warmly: "If anyone in the outer court criticizes him, let him come to me. !If your father is evil, I will personally make amends to him a hundred years later."

When Li said this, Liu Chengyou stopped holding it and joined the banquet together. The fish is the new mandarin fish on the market this season. The meat is tender and delicious, with less spines and more meat. Drink the fish soup and eat Fish. Even though Liu Chengyou is reserved in his mouth, he is very honest in his body and he eats it very deliciously.

In order to set an example, he has really lived like an ascetic monk during this period of time. While chewing the fish, Liu Chengyou glanced at Mr. Li who was personally scooping soup for Liu Chengxun. The kindness at the corner of his mouth touched his heart. , I guess that this "entire fish feast" was specially prepared for him.

"I don't know how many people in Tokyo can taste the delicious mandarin fish..." Liu Chengyou said with emotion as he stopped his chopsticks.

After saying this, the living man next to him immediately wrote down. This shows that the emperor did not forget to worry about the people while eating, which is the sigh of the Mingjun...

"Erlang."

After the banquet, Mr. Li called Liu Chengyou to the inner hall alone, his expression rare and serious.

"What did my mother teach me?" Liu Chengyou looked at Mr. Li, a little confused.

"Yang Ping came into the palace early in the morning to say hello to me," said Li.

Frowning his brows, Liu Chengyou asked, "What did he say?"

Li's phoenix eyebrows also frowned slightly and said: "He intends to resign and become an official."

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou narrowed his eyes and thought slightly, but only slightly. If this Yang Shuxiang wants to resign and become an official, he can just ask him directly and go to the palace to sue Li. What is going on? You know, Although Liu Chengyou is the young master, the Han Dynasty is not the queen mother overseeing the country.

Seeing Liu Chengyou contemplating there, Mrs. Li sighed softly and said: "Erlang, I shouldn't be involved in the affairs of the outer court. Although there are some conflicts between you and Prime Minister Yang, they are not irreconcilable. The country's affairs are bumpy and full of thorns. , you are the new heir to the throne, and the superiors and subordinates are not yet convinced. At this time, the most important thing is to stabilize the government. Yang Xiang has followed your father for many years, and he has also put a lot of effort into the founding of the Han Dynasty. If he has made mistakes, you should do more. Tolerance, monarch and ministers work together to overcome difficulties..."

Mrs. Li was already a bit interested in getting involved in politics, but seeing her face and eyes full of worry for him, it was difficult for Liu Chengyou to feel unhappy about it. After thinking about it, he saluted him: "My mother taught me, and my son knows it." !”

She knew that Liu Chengyou had always had his own opinions, not to mention that he was already the emperor, and there was no need for him to give advice. Seeing Liu Chengyou's calm performance, Li sighed silently in her heart, but she also knew that she could not say anything more.

"I am busy with government affairs and have no time to visit Renming Hall and serve in front of the Queen Mother. You should go to Renming Hall more often on weekdays to accompany the Queen Mother and fulfill your filial piety for me!" After leaving Renming Hall, Liu Chengyou ordered Queen Fu.

Dafu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and felt a little strange, but he still agreed very gently and was very happy. Everyone knew that Liu Chengyou's maid was extremely filial, and asking her to accompany him to fulfill her filial piety was obviously an act of doting on her.

When he returned to Chui Gong Hall, Liu Chengyou's expression was actually gloomy.

He did not dare or did not want to be dissatisfied with the Queen Mother Li, so the unhappiness in his heart could only be transferred to Yang Bin. Although the time since he succeeded to the throne was short, Liu Chengyou had temporarily put aside his actions against Yang Bin and wanted to make a smooth transition. .

Before and after he ascended the throne, I thought that Yang Bin had been completely suppressed, but unexpectedly, under the heavy suppression, this person actually had another idea and wanted to involve the Queen Mother restlessly. That is to say, Li Shi was sensible and righteous. Otherwise, the Queen Mother's political affairs would definitely be a troublesome matter for Liu Chengyou.

It involves filial piety, personal issues, and most importantly, the stability of the court...

Tapping his index finger under his leg, Liu Chengyou frowned and thought deeply. He was hesitating whether to summon Wang Jingchong or not.

"The officials and the generals of the Forbidden Army are here!" While thinking, the chamberlain came to report.

After hearing the report, Liu Chengyou had no choice but to suppress his thoughts for the time being, calm down his spirit, and ordered: "Announce!"

The senior generals of the Forbidden Army were received by Liu Chengyou on the day he succeeded to the throne. This time, it was for the senior officers at the command level of the Guards Department, Yuhou, and Xiangzhi. They are the 130,000 Tokyo Forbidden Army. frontline command of the army.

Dozens of Forbidden Army generals made the Chui Gong Hall a bit crowded, but Liu Chengyou was serious yet candid as he called out their names one by one.

The people present included former generals from Hedong, generals of the emperor such as Sun Li and Han Tong, and of course former generals of the "Jin Army". Basically, Liu Chengyou could name everyone.

"Everyone, sit down!"

After the "roll call", Liu Chengyou took the lead and walked out of the hall and sat on the ground. Outside the hall, the sun was just right and the spring light was bright. It was much more comfortable than the restraint and depression in the hall. This natural and intimate performance made the generals feel novel at the same time. , it is inevitable to be infected by his temperament.

At the same time, people were ordered to serve tea to everyone, and then the first "symposium" between the Han Emperor and the senior generals of the Forbidden Army was officially held.

"When I first arrived at Chenji, I was troubled by many things. It was only now that I summoned the generals..."

Basically, Liu Chengyou was talking. In front of the generals, he rarely spoke more. He recalled the hard work of starting a business, lamented the difficult situation, encouraged the generals to perform their duties, and looked forward to the future of the Han Dynasty... Basically, this is the set Facing the emperor's instructions, all the senior generals listened attentively and did not doze off at all.

Then there was a free conversation, in which everyone expressed their opinions, expressed their thoughts, and put forward some suggestions. The generals were a little uncomfortable with this at first, especially when they saw special officials taking notes. Keep your mouth open, just listen and don't speak, so as not to make a fool of yourself.

In the end, this "symposium" evolved into a discussion on the Guanzhong War against Shu. In this regard, everyone's interest was obviously stronger.

It lasted from noon until noon, and then it ended and the generals withdrew. For the time being, Liu Chengyou did not expect loyalty from these generals. It was really unrealistic. However, for the time being, he wanted to get closer to each other and deepen the relationship between Liu Chengyou and the emperor in their minds. My impression is still good.

Among these generals, there are still many talented people, who are wise, brave or brave. In addition to Liu Ci, Wang Yin, Du Hanhui, there are also Wang Quanbin, Wang Yanchao, Shi Yanchao and others.

In this era, there are really many people named "Yanchao". There is Murong Yanchao in Yunzhou, and there is Zhang Yanchao in Yanzhou...

In addition, there was a general named Zhao Hongyin.
