Chapter 460: Concubine Hui like her father asks for a title
"The way of heaven does not speak, but what does it mean to be a person who is prosperous in goods and achieves success every year?" In the Chui Gong Hall, the old emperor suddenly dropped his book bag. [Read the novel with the correct chapter, search on google]
Liu Wenji, who was waiting at the side, heard this and immediately said: "The officials of the four seasons and the assistants of the five elements declare their Qi."
The old emperor asked again: "What does it mean that the saint does not say anything, but the people are close to each other and all the nations are at peace?"
Liu Wenji: "The Three Lords discuss the Tao, the six ministers divide their duties, and Zhang Qi teaches it."
Seeing Liu Wenji's familiar response, Emperor Liu showed a smile on his old face and asked with a hint of curiosity: "Have you studied this article?"
"This is "Tailuo Yuan Ji" written by Wang Shijun of Shanzhou in his early years. Master Xu just taught it not long ago, so my grandson remembers it clearly!" Liu Wenji replied obediently.
Wang Shijun was naturally referring to Wang Yucheng, who had torn the "Western Expedition System" into pieces, but he himself was safe and sound. He had already taken up his post in Longxi as one of the officials who implemented the reform of the "Abolition of the Western Expedition System".
Master Xu is Xu Xuan, a bachelor of Jixian Palace. Xu Xuan was pardoned and returned to the capital together with Xu Shilian. When he returned to the capital, he became a guest of the old emperor. As a southern minister, a surrendered minister, and in Fengcheng
Xu Xuan was a shepherd at the frontier of Zhouzhou and taught for nearly twenty years. Xu Xuan had extensive knowledge, combining the best of the north and the south. He was a world-famous literary master.
At least, after twenty more years of hard work in the wind and snow in the north of the Great Wall, the romance and ideals given to him by the soil and water of the south of the Yangtze River have faded away. Xu Xuan's literary achievements have greatly exceeded those in his "previous life". It can also be seen from his works in these years
, pay more attention to reality and care about suffering.
With the lessons learned from that year, Xu Xuan was not as aggressive as Wang Yucheng and others in promoting his own policy ideas, but he did a good job of staying on his own.
Compared with the aloof and arrogant performance at the beginning, Xu Xuan's whole temperament has changed dramatically after returning to Beijing, and at least he has become more down-to-earth. In addition, this is a talented scholar with extensive knowledge, and Emperor Liu also
He was finally forgiven for his sin of "worrying about his motherland" back then.
However, I couldn't afford to give high-ranking officials power, and I was getting too old. Finally, I was given the title of bachelor of Jixian Palace, which was regarded as a high-level offering. But more importantly, I had another job. I was the lecturer of Wenhua Palace, ranking among the top.
The kind of person who is responsible for the cultural education of the prince's son, Long Sun.
The old emperor was always like this. When he hates a person, he can turn him into ashes. When he appreciates a person, he also expresses his sincerity.
At this time, Liu Wenji said that Xu Xuan was actually talking about Wang Yucheng's works, and the old emperor was somewhat surprised. Twenty or thirty years ago, it was unlikely that political comments like this would appear in Xu Xuan's lecture notes.
His eyes fell on Liu Wenji. This grandson always gave him a sense of stability. Feeling this in his heart, he opened his mouth and asked: "Do you know what the main purpose of Wang Yucheng's "Tailuo Yuan Ji" is?"
After hearing the question, Liu Wenji thought for a while and then said: "The king is emphasizing the importance of the prime minister's duties. Your Majesty wants to rule from the top to make the world peaceful and everything is peaceful. He needs to keep the good and the evil and away from the mediocre. At the same time, he encourages the prime minister to be diligent and diligent.
"Thinking of the wise and caring for the people"
"Did Xu Xuan teach you these?" Emperor Liu asked.
Liu Wenji nodded honestly: "That's probably true."
Smiling slightly, Emperor Liu pointedly said: "Could it be that the great governance of the world depends entirely on the merits of the prime minister, and the emperor only needs to bow his hands and let him do whatever he wants?"
Liu Wenji was a little surprised by this, thought for a while, then faced the old emperor's probing gaze, and said respectfully: "My grandson believes that the country, the country, the country, and the four seasons of yin and yang certainly require the prime minister to assist him, but he cannot rely solely on the prime minister's personal character and integrity. Governing from the top does not mean leaving the government alone. His Majesty the Emperor needs to supervise and spur the prime ministers at all times."
After hearing this discussion, the old emperor showed a kind smile again and said leisurely: "Who taught you this?"
Liu Wenji seemed a little shy, lowered his head, and responded softly: "It's just my grandson's humble opinion. If there is anything wrong, I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
Looking at his grandson who still looked young and looking back, Emperor Liu suddenly realized that Liu Wenji seemed to have been so low-key, humble, calm and peaceful since he was a child. Compared to the high-spirited Liu Wenhuan, Liu Wenji always seemed slow and gentle. .
This calmness and calmness suddenly reminded the old emperor of Liu Yang. It should be noted that when the prince was young, he seemed to be famous for his slowness and calmness. However, Liu Yang's political decision-making ability in the past ten years made Liu Yang think of him. People tend to forget their past memories.
This is, when the figures of the father and son overlapped in his mind, the old emperor's eyes towards Liu Wenji naturally had more connotations. Liu Wenji seemed to have noticed the change in his grandfather's eyes, and this seemed to be the first change in his grandfather's eyes. The first time I looked at myself with such eyes, I lowered my head a little awkwardly.
After a long silence, the old emperor's deep laughter came from the palace: "Wen Ji, you are also very good! From now on, raise your head and don't keep your head down."
"Yes!" The old emperor spoke, and Liu Wenji naturally did not dare to neglect and slowly raised his head.
However, when he raised his head, his eyelids were still drooped, and he didn't know whether he was looking at the bridge of his nose or the tips of his shoes. This behavior also made the old emperor deeply moved.
Just as he was about to say some more words of encouragement, Hu De walked in and bowed down from a few steps away, saying, "I would like to see you, Concubine Hui!"
Unlike Yantuo, who was also a close eunuch and the head of the chamberlain, Hu De was rarely able to personally serve him except on formal occasions.
After hearing his report, Emperor Liu was a little surprised. He murmured something and then ordered: "Xuan!"
Not long after, little Concubine Fu Hui walked in. She was also nearly sixty years old. She had gone through many vicissitudes of life, not to mention her youth. If it weren't for her gorgeous palace dress, exquisite decoration and innate nobility, I'm afraid she wouldn't be the same as an ordinary old woman. There's a big difference.
If we say how deep the relationship between the old emperor and Concubine Fu Hui was, and how many beautiful memories there were, it would seem a bit artificial. In the final analysis, the combination of the two was a political marriage and the inflated lust of Emperor Liu in his early years.
However, Emperor Liu had always been more or less doting on Concubine Fu Hui and was generally tolerant of her.
When Concubine Hui arrived, Liu Wenji stood up and saluted respectfully. Although Emperor Liu was still sitting, his posture seemed much more upright.
"Wenji is here too!" Looking at Liu Wenji, Concubine Hui also had a kind smile on her face, but her eyes looked strange.
Liu Wenji was almost sixteen years old, and he had some intelligence in observing words and expressions. He noticed her eyes, saluted the imperial concubine knowingly, and slowly retreated.
After she left, Emperor Liu looked at Concubine Hui calmly, motioned for her to sit down, and asked casually: "How come you have time to come to my place?"
"If the officials don't announce the summons, why don't they allow me to take the initiative to come and see you?" Concubine Hui still had the same style as in the past, with a hint of womanly resentment in her words.
Seeing this, Emperor Liu was not annoyed and said: "Since you are here, come and have lunch with me later!"
There was movement in her eyes, but Concubine Hui still said in a bad tone: "Am I just here for a meal?"
Emperor Liu's patience was rarely so full. Seeing this, he chuckled and said, "How about going to Chunlan Palace?"
Feeling Emperor Liu's teasing, Concubine Hui shook her head, her expression became unusually serious, she pondered a little, and then said: "I heard that Wen Yuan has returned to Anton?"
He couldn't get any benefits from the old emperor, let alone from the imperial court. After the setback, Liu Wenyuan sobered up and did not stay in Luoyang for long. After accepting Liu Xu's "legacy" in Luoyang, he set off back to Anton.
, and walked neatly, without any sloppiness.
However, after all, he was young in spirit. Before leaving, he said at the farewell banquet: If the court doesn't give it, then you have to rely on yourself!
At this time, after hearing Concubine Hui mention it, Emperor Liu couldn't help but wonder why she cared about Liu Wenyuan. Looking at her, Emperor Liu nodded and said: "He is King Andong, how can he leave the feudal country for a long time? After the things are done, he should return
"
When Concubine Hui heard this, she said with emotion: "Wen Yuan, as the grandson of a government official, is now the king of a country!"
After a pause, he sighed again: "Even Wen Hai and Wen Huan were granted the title of marquis and opened a mansion."
When he got here, Emperor Liu vaguely heard something. He looked at Concubine Hui and said, "If you have any ideas, just say it directly. There is no need to talk in circles like this!"
Seeing this, her eyelids drooped slightly, and Concubine Hui said in a reminding tone: "Guan family, Liu Yan is already twenty-two years old, and he has not had a title so far. He only shows up in front of others in the name of a prince. It is really a bit strange.
Ugly."
Hearing what she said, Emperor Liu narrowed his old eyes slightly and said, "Why, the prince, have you wronged him?"
Paying attention to Emperor Liu's reaction, Concubine Hui hurriedly said: "It's just that the grown-up princes often have famous names. Liu Yanye is married, but there is no name on the plaque of the mansion. It is not convenient to even open the door to welcome guests. It is really unfair."
"Heaven's Face"
"The face of the Tian family!" Emperor Liu murmured, and then said: "If you want a title, why doesn't Liu Han come by himself? Do you still need to ask your mother to come to me to ask for it?"
"The official family is so majestic. Even if he dares to come, how can he have the courage to make a request?" Concubine Hui answered with her head held high.
After hearing what he said, Emperor Liu immediately said coldly: "I gave the country a feudal state in the first place, but you didn't seize the opportunity and gave up on your own. I also said that any choice has its own price. Now it's too late to complain to me.
!”
Emperor Liu said this, which immediately stimulated Concubine Hui. Like a firecracker, she said loudly: "I know that the official family is angry, but it was my intention to prevent Liu Shan from enfeoffing. I couldn't bear to let him go."
, it’s not that he doesn’t dare to go. If the official is grudged and wants to punish him, just come to me and don’t make Liu Xuan angry and delay his future!”
Seeing her plausive appearance, Emperor Liu's tone was still cold: "In your eyes, am I the kind of person who takes revenge? Or am I targeting my own son?"
Concubine Hui was obviously a bit superior and directly pointed out: "Liu Hui is not the only one who stayed in the capital and was not granted a title. Liu Hui, Liu Ai, Liu Zhao and others were granted titles, and were awarded officials. Liu Ming was
Even if they are stationed in the political hall, and they are both princes, don't the officials favor one over the other?"
