No matter how hysterical, it is just a short-term emotional vent and release, in order to gain some psychological comfort and maintain that lonely and pitiful self-esteem.
It doesn't help the reality. Liu Han's problem has been put directly in front of him by Concubine Hui. How should he deal with it? Are he really going to let Liu Han hang on to the title of prince for the rest of his life without giving him any treatment?
Regarding this point, Emperor Liu himself didn't know for sure. After all, he was his own son and he hadn't made any big mistakes. Isn't he being too fussy just to take care of the face that most likely only he cared about?
However, if he changes his attitude, how can he be justified? After all, just now, he was so firm in refuting Concubine Hui and driving her away. Even if he wants to fall out, just treat it as the punishment is over, and it will take time to buffer, otherwise it will not work.
Where can I put his old face without appearing abrupt and stiff?
Perhaps Emperor Liu himself didn't realize that the older he got, the more stubborn and unreasonable he became, and he was obsessed with saving face. In his early years, he could even use face to trample on him and wipe his butt, but now, it is
Treat it like a treasure and cherish it very much
He thinks that imperial power is supreme and uncompromising. However, in fact, he is full of compromises. The ferociousness and stubbornness he reveals are more like a disguise. The louder he shouts, the softer his behavior becomes. After all, he is getting old.
, it is late, and it is completely different from the strong self-esteem that came from within in the early years.
After thinking about it, he re-established his guard against Emperor Liu, and had already made a decision. He would just wait for a while to restore the treatment that Liu Xuan deserved.
However, does this still seem too weak and compromising for a woman? Slowly, Emperor Liu fell into the kind of arrogance that has little logic and relies entirely on personal imagination.
But after thinking too much, there is always something to be gained. Emperor Liu's old eyes suddenly brightened. Perhaps, he could wait until he died and the prince ascended the throne. When the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will always need to show kindness to his subordinates. Starting from his own brothers, he should give this grace to his subordinates.
To the prince, this seems to be a good way to deal with it and avoid his own embarrassment.
However, Emperor Liu soon shook his head again. What if the prince didn't know his intention? What if he had some scruples, or suppressed his brother and refused to act?
Should we explain it in advance? This seems inappropriate. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing? Emperor Liu does something, why should he be secretive? He is a mean person and stingy.
While Emperor Liu was making crazy speculations, Hu De came back again. He was very dissatisfied with his thoughts being disturbed. Seeing the dissatisfied look in the old emperor's eyes, Hu De quickly reported nervously: "Guan Family, Chunlan Palace
The palace servants came to report that Concubine Hui had fallen!"
"Huh?" After hearing this, Emperor Liu raised his eyebrows and said in a somewhat unkind tone: "What's going on? You were still fine when you left!"
On the surface, he seemed very caring, but Emperor Liu was full of doubts in his heart, feeling that there was something deceitful about Concubine Hui. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence come about?
Faced with Emperor Liu's question, Hu De seemed hesitant. He glanced at him several times and opened his mouth several times, but made no sound. Upon seeing this, Emperor Liu immediately scolded: "Who are you doing this for?
Pretend, say!"
"Yes!" Hu De was startled and did not dare to hide anything anymore, saying: "It is said that the fifteenth prince had a dispute with Concubine Hui, and the concubine fell to the ground."
"So I was waiting in the palace, waiting for news!" Hearing this, Emperor Liu sneered twice, rolled his eyes twice, stretched out his hand, and ordered: "Show the Chunlan Palace, I want to see it with my own eyes.
What tricks are the mother and son playing?"
On the way to Chunlan Palace, Emperor Liu received more detailed information about the "accident" in which Concubine Hui fell. It was reported that Liu Yan blamed Concubine Hui for making the decision for him and refusing to seal the country, which offended Emperor Liu and led to his current predicament.
On the one hand, Concubine Hui was saddened by her beloved son's blame. On the other hand, she blamed herself. At the same time, she felt a little aggrieved. She felt that Liu Yan did not understand her and could not help but argue with her.
The mother and son had a quarrel and vented their feelings, but Liu Han was no match for Concubine Hui. He tried to pull away, but Concubine Hui refused to let her go. After some entanglement, Liu Han struggled to break free, causing Concubine Hui to fall.
After hearing the detailed description, Emperor Liu's expression became a little strange. He never expected that such a bloody family ethics drama would appear in his court.
Sow the cause and get the result. Many things are often the same. However, Emperor Liu did not have much clues about this. There were many bloody disputes in his palace, but most of them were
It was just ignored by him subconsciously.
The Chunlan Palace in Luoyang is deep in the palace, not very close to the Chui Gong Palace. It takes more than half an hour to walk. When Emperor Liu arrived, the already depressing atmosphere immediately added some tension, as if it was covered by a dark cloud.
Just come here.
At the entrance of the palace, Liu Yan lowered his head, bit his lip, and knelt there silently, with a serious expression. He noticed Emperor Liu and hurriedly kowtowed to salute. His handsome face, which looked very similar to that of Concubine Hui, showed deep fear.
, obviously, he also knew that he was in big trouble.
Emperor Liu stopped and stared at him indifferently for a while, then turned and walked into the palace. He raised his hand slightly and coldly ordered: "Stand up and fight!"
After saying that, Emperor Liu swept his sleeves and entered the palace, leaving behind a pale-faced Liu Yan and several eunuchs who also had pale faces. One of the eunuchs, as if he had found a backbone, walked to Hu De and asked for instructions: "Sir, sir,
Really?"
"You dare to disobey the Holy Order?" Hood asked angrily, and then pointed at the four chamberlains following him: "Don't get ready yet!"
"Yes!" The chamberlain who asked the question did not move, but said with a sad face: "But how many canes are needed?"
Hearing this, Hu De also looked like he had a headache. He looked up at Chunlan Palace, then looked down at Liu Shan, and then turned his head to look at the servant who was at a loss. After thinking about it for a while, he came up with an idea. He pulled this person over and lowered his head.
The voice explained: "Strike ten sticks first, with slower movements and lighter force."
Most of these chamberlains are smart, especially when it comes to being obedient. After hearing what Hu De said, they immediately nodded to express their understanding. Hu De pushed aside him, walked to Liu Shan's side, bent down and said carefully: "Your Highness, the official family
There is a purpose, and I dare not fail to do it. Please don’t blame me. If you have a little patience, my subordinates will be more measured!"
Hearing this, Liu Yan raised his eyes and noticed Hood's gentle face. His nervousness calmed down a little. He did not answer the words and just nodded to him. Seeing this, Hood did not dare to relax.
He turned around and went into the palace to wait, silently hoping that this matter would pass quickly and that the Tian family would fight, and it would be slaves like them who would be in trouble.
In the Chunlan Palace, beside the embroidered couch, Emperor Liu had already sat down, his face restored to calmness. The imperial doctor also said that it was just a slight sprain, and it would be fine with some recovery, and there was no need to prescribe medicine.
As long as her body is fine and there are no major injuries, she can feel relieved. However, what hurts Concubine Hui more is obviously her motherly heart. Seeing her sad and melancholy look, Emperor Liu chuckled and said, "What are you doing for this son?"
, it can be regarded as a hard work, but now it has reached such a result, how do you feel?"
Emperor Liu thought he was just expressing emotion, but to Concubine Hui's ears, it sounded more like a sarcastic remark. His female eyes turned even redder, and then tears couldn't stop falling from his eyes, and he sobbed: "What's happening with the official?"
Are you satisfied?"
This question made Emperor Liu stunned for a moment, but he soon realized it. He raised his eyebrows and said, "What does this have to do with me? It's not like you usually indulge and dote on that traitor."
Before Emperor Liu could finish speaking, Concubine Hui interrupted him: "Liu Yan has always been docile and modest. If it weren't for the unfair and prejudiced treatment of officials, how could he lose his manners?"
"How can you blame me for this?" Emperor Liu was annoyed. He stood up and glared at Concubine Hui: "I came to see you kindly, but you are so ungrateful!"
Concubine Hui retorted: "Are the officials coming to see me, or are they watching my mother-son joke?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Liu was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He immediately jumped up, pointed at Concubine Hui, and said angrily: "You are simply unreasonable! We are both daughters of the Fu family, why don't you learn more from your sister?"
"If my sister were still alive, how would the officials think of her?" Concubine Hui was not timid at all.
In a hurry, Concubine Hui couldn't help but push up her body. This movement immediately affected her sprained waist, and a look of pain appeared on her face. Seeing her look like this, Emperor Liu had something cruel to say, but he couldn't say it for a moment.
Why did he come to argue with this woman?
His tone softened: "My hair is white and my body is injured. Why is it so violent? Take a good rest and don't move!"
Listening to Emperor Liu's dry concern, Concubine Hui really stopped fussing, but she didn't overdo it and ignored Emperor Liu. Seeing this, Emperor Liu took a few steps in front of the bed, his expression was depressed, he hesitated a little, and said sternly: "
You have gone too far today. You have repeatedly lost your manners in front of me and bumped into me! I don’t care about it. I am extra tolerant for the sake of your sister. Don’t push yourself too far!"
"Why, the officials want to banish me to the cold palace?" Concubine Hui seemed to be letting herself go, and said angrily: "Just like they treat Liu Shan?"
"You think I don't dare?" Emperor Liu shouted angrily, spittle spitting out.
Emperor Liu had obviously broken his guard and was about to have an attack. Suddenly, a burst of screams came from outside the palace. It was Liu Xuan who was shouting. It sounded a bit miserable.
"What's going on? What did you do to Liu Yan?" Concubine Hui's face changed greatly when she heard this, and she finally turned her head and stared at Emperor Liu.
Seeing this, the anger in Emperor Liu's heart was suddenly suppressed. Instead, he started to hold it, turned his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "Liu Yan is unfilial. Isn't it right to teach him a lesson and give him a few sticks?"
"What does it have to do with my own fall?" Concubine Hui said immediately.
"You dare to deceive the emperor in person?" Emperor Liu asked: "I have already understood the situation!"
Concubine Hui: "Then please ask the officials to punish me for deceiving the emperor, and don't vent your anger on Liu Xuan!"
Facing Concubine Hui's stubborn face, Emperor Liu was furious. His hand pointing at her trembled, and he didn't know what to say. But outside the palace, Liu Yan's wailing became louder and louder.
Along with his begging for mercy, he looked like he couldn't bear the beating or the torture. Emperor Liu frowned and cursed: "The flowers in the greenhouse can't withstand the wind and rain, can't they even withstand this little beating?
"
Concubine Hui was heartbroken and cried again, roaring at Emperor Liu: "How can he withstand the imperial staff? Do you want to beat him to death?"
Seeing this, Emperor Liu frowned and gave Hu De a glance. Hu De understood and did not dare to neglect, and immediately went out to "check". Soon, Hu De came back and briefly reported the situation.
Probably, after ten strokes, Liu Yan almost passed out.
Listening to the situation, Concubine Hui became even more impatient and unyielding. If it weren't for her physical inconvenience, she would have almost pounced on her, as if she loved her son eagerly.
The two looked at each other. Concubine Hui was unafraid, but Emperor Liu seemed a little tired, and finally walked away: "You two, mother and son, just let it go! I don't care, and don't come to see me again, I don't have time!"
On the couch, looking at Emperor Liu's unrepentant back, Concubine Hui lowered her head and sobbed, not to mention how sad her voice was. Emperor Liu was determined to leave, but listening to Concubine Hui's cry, she felt sad in her heart.
It's not like he's untouched either.
Concubine Hui has always been like this. She has been playing with her petty temper for decades. Emperor Liu has long been used to it, but he can't understand how it could be like this.
In front of the palace, the imperial staff had stopped, and Liu Yan was lying there. When he saw Emperor Liu coming out, he immediately became extremely weak and begged Emperor Liu for mercy: "I know I was wrong, and I beg your majesty to forgive me!"
Emperor Liu stared at him, not so angry, but this state was obviously more frightening. Without leaving a word, Emperor Liu left slowly, without the aid of bamboo, his steps were even slower. At the same time, the old body
