At night, Liu Chengyou went to the Yaohua Palace as promised and had a meal with Concubine Gao and his third son Liu Xi. As the night progressed, he asked his wet nurse to take away the Oedipal Liu Xi, and then he found some space to do something with Concubine Gao. Interesting stories between husband and wife.
Concubine Gao, who is three or four years older than Liu Chengyou, can hold a gold nugget. Earlier, Liu Chengyou almost regarded her as a sister, and maybe she had some strange feelings for her. Over the years, as she got older, the concubine became more mature and charming. , has the habit of practicing martial arts for a long time, and her figure is also the best among the concubines of the Han Palace.
After finishing the work, he rested his head on the jade pillow and held the imperial concubine in his arms. He unconsciously moved one hand between her curvy waist and hips. The touch was very delicate, but his eyes were filled with thoughts.
"What are the officials thinking?" The imperial concubine was a little curious and exhaled.
At this time, Liu Chengyou felt a little empty in his heart, and his body seemed very tired. After hearing the question, he came back to his senses and looked at the charming concubine who was still dripping with sweat on her forehead. Liu Chengyou replied casually: "I think I will go to Gaofu to visit you tomorrow." , look at the old woman! You, mother and son, are accompanying you!"
"Is this true?" Mrs. Gao seemed a little excited and stood up directly.
In that daze, Liu Chengyou could only feel the white flowers in front of his eyes, which were really big. He smiled faintly and replied: "You have no joke!"
Since Liu Chengyou ascended the throne, only a few people have been lucky enough to receive a visit from him, which is very rare. Therefore, it is no wonder that Mr. Gao is so happy.
The next morning, with only a hundred bodyguards and no big show of honor, they headed straight to the palace. On the carriage, Liu Chengyou hugged his third son, Liu Xi, teasingly, and gently pinched his tender face. Although he did not cry, he The bitter look in his eyes made Liu Chengyou happy.
There was a rush in front of Prince Linqing's palace, and it could be seen that they were preparing for the arrival at short notice. In response, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Gao. Although this woman was sometimes jealous, she still seemed to have a general understanding and was not trying to be too smart. Tell the Gao Mansion about his visit.
This time, the three of them were all wearing regular clothes, and Mr. Gao did not put on heavy makeup, just like ordinary people taking their wives home to visit their relatives.
"Old minister, see your Majesty!" The middle door opened wide, and Gao Xingzhou and his family paid homage in front of the door.
Gao Xingzhou was plagued by illness and looked haggard. His old age was visible to the naked eye. This was when the emperor came, dragging his sick body to greet him. Liu Chengyou immediately waved his hand: "My dear wife, please get up quickly!"
After saying this, he gestured to Zhang Dejun, who immediately stepped forward and helped Gao Xingzhou up. Liu Chengyou said: "If you are sick and your body is not in harmony, you don't have to stick to these customs!"
"Etiquette cannot be discarded!" As a well-known martial artist, it is rare for Gao Xingzhou to have this awareness. Of course, he has one foot in the coffin and has already learned the lesson.
After entering the hall and sitting down to serve tea, Mrs. Gao and Liu Xi paid homage to their father and ancestors. Seeing the sick look on their old father's face, Mrs. Gao already felt sad.
"Not long after I returned to Beijing, things were complicated. I learned that my wife is seriously ill. I have some free time today, so I came here to visit!" Liu Chengyou looked at Gao Xingzhou and said with concern: "My wife should take care of herself!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! How dare you, your Majesty!"
Gao Xingzhou was obviously in a good mood. He looked at his daughter and grandson with even more relief, and said to Liu Chengyou: "I have been in the army for fifty years. I have made many hidden losses in my life. I am satisfied that I can survive until now. I am even more favored by Your Majesty." If you have faith, even if you die, you will have no regrets!"
"Father!" Hearing Gao Xingzhou's depressing words, Mr. Gao felt distressed and couldn't help but call him out.
There was a smile on Gao Xingzhou's sick face, and he turned towards Liu Chengyou. Although his tone was weak, he looked relieved and said: "In my life, I have experienced ups and downs in troubled times. I have always been surrounded by soldiers, but I don't know why there is peace! For decades, I wasted my time, drifting with the tide, and in my sixtieth year, I met an unparalleled hero. Even if it is not the right time, it is enough to win him!"
"It is a pity that I will never see His Majesty rule the world and restore peace!" As he spoke, Gao Xingzhou let out a long sigh.
After hearing his words, Liu Chengyou was able to understand Gao Xingzhou's mood a little bit, apart from the compliments. As he said, the word "Taiping" to him may only exist in books or imagination.
"Women, you should take good care of your health. We can finally see the day of peace with your own eyes!" Liu Chengyou looked at Gao Xingzhou, as if he was promising, but also seemed to be relieved.
"I hope this broken body can survive until that day!" Gao Xingzhou said with a chuckle.
At the Linqing Palace, Liu Chengyou stayed for nearly an hour, chatting with Gao Xingzhou. Today was probably the happiest day for Gao Xingzhou recently. Emperor Liu Chengyou showed him full respect.
In the afternoon, after leaving the palace and returning to the palace, the imperial concubine, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears. She asked the imperial doctor that given Gao Xingzhou's physical condition, she would not be able to survive half a year, and she could not tell when she would die. went.
Taking Gao's arms and offering him a shoulder, Liu Chengyou looked sighing with emotion and sighed heavily. Beneath his knees, little Liu Xi watched his mother cry. Unconsciously, he also cried along with her, wailing loudly.
"Okay!" Liu Chengyou's tone was very gentle as he stroked the imperial concubine's jade back.
After getting up and wiping her tears, Mrs. Gao hugged Liu Xi and coaxed her, her beautiful eyes flushed red.
Liu Chengyou thought for a while and ordered Zhang Dejun: "After returning to the palace, ask Gao Huaide, the subordinate of the Privy Council, to put aside the military affairs of Longqi for a while, return to the palace more often, serve decoctions, and take care of King Linqing!"
"yes!"
Liu Chengyou's arrangement was basically to let Gao Huaide provide for Gao Xingzhou until he died.
Before returning to the palace, he passed through Nanshi City. Liu Chengyou came here in interest and wanted to relax and use the folk fireworks to relieve the gloom in his heart. In the afternoon, the warm sun was shining brightly in Tokyo Market, which was the busiest time.
However, Liu Chengyou did not let Liu Chengyou comfortably observe the happiness of the people. Instead, he saw at a glance, the nobles riding horses and running rampant in the market. Without blinking a few times, Liu Chengyou pointed his horse and galloped, attracting the crowd in the market to avoid the young man. , although no one was injured, it was still a mess.
There were city officials patrolling around, but no one was in charge. Liu Chengyou pointed his hand and ordered: "Go and ask which family's children are so flamboyant and high-spirited!"
Weiji, the bodyguard came to report and found out that he was Kaifeng Prefect, Murong Yanchao's youngest son and a relative of the emperor. Liu Chengyou did not directly express his position on this, but just asked plainly: "Isn't it to say that since the emperor's uncle became the prefect, Tokyo Is public security getting better day by day?"
After returning to the palace, I rested for a while, and then Tongshi came to report: "Su Yugui, Duke of Ju, wants to see you!"
Liu Chengyou was a little curious. What was going on when this former prime minister who had long since faded out of the court suddenly came to see him? At the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, Su Yugui and Su Fengji were known as the "Two Sus". They shared the government and were so powerful that they were almost as powerful as Yang Bin. Fight in separate courts.
However, later on, Su Fengji's case was discovered and he was demoted. However, Su Yugui was not as arbitrary as Su Fengji. He knew when enough was enough and was aware of current affairs. He expressed his intention to retire to Liu Chengyou early on.
In these years, Su Yugui basically stayed in the history museum, leading a group of civil servants to compile history, and he was content with the status quo and content with being ordinary.
Of course, under the "mundane" appearance, Su Yugui enjoyed all the wealth and glory. During the short period of time when he was in power, Su Yugui made a lot of money by taking advantage of his position. As far as Wu Desi found out, the Su family was Zhongyuan controlled hundreds of hectares of land, ten manors, and dozens of large and small shops, not to mention other properties.
However, in order to understand current affairs, Liu Chengyou did not kill this "fat sheep", but acquiesced to his previous gains. Over the years, the old ministers have been cut off. Su Yugui, a scholar, can be regarded as Liu Chengyou retaining an old minister. "Cardboard" is used to cover up shame.
Su Yugui, who entered the hall, was as respectful as ever, perhaps because he was both physically and mentally light. Among the many veterans, Su Yugui was aging the slowest. Except for a few gray hairs on his temples, there was no other change from four or five years ago.
Liu Chengyou asked: "Why does Lord Ju have time to come to Chongzheng Hall?"
Facing the emperor's inquiry, Su Yugui looked sad and said to Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty, just now, Jia Wei, a scholar of Jixian Palace, died of illness in the history museum. Even until his death, he was still writing about it!"

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou hesitated for a moment. Jia Wei was considered to be the first person to record history in the Han Dynasty. He was famous throughout the dynasty for his writing pen. In recent years, Liu Chengyou ordered people to compile history and write books, and most of them were participated by Jia Wei.
"Jia Gong wrote all the books in the Spring and Autumn Period. With his death, the great Han Dynasty will have one less talent to pass down to history!" Liu Chengyou's mood was waning, and his tone was a little sentimental: "Pass the imperial edict, posthumously give it to Jia Wei, the minister, and give him a generous burial!"
"yes!"
After visiting Gao Xingzhou who was seriously ill in the morning, he heard about Jia Wei's death in the afternoon. Liu Chengyou felt quite uncomfortable. This time, he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Old minister, I am gradually withering away. I don't know what happened." ah!"
Jia Wei was not very popular in the Han Dynasty because of his tough temper and unforgiving words. However, his sudden death still caused a lot of memories, especially among the officials of literature and history. In particular, his wife heard about it at home. The sad news was that he died in grief, and the old couple went to hell together. Everyone who heard it was deeply saddened.
