"Explain? I asked him to be the teacher of the eldest son of the emperor. In the future, he can ask the officials to make him the young master. Isn't that enough?" Liu E blinked and asked hesitantly.
Huang Hao had already expressed his loyalty to her directly, so there was no need for her to keep going around. She might as well tell her her true plan truthfully.
"I'm not sure. I feel that Han Qing is different from others. Being a teacher for the eldest son of the emperor certainly has a bright future. But I'm not sure whether he cares about this future or not." Huang Hao frowned and thought.
After a moment, he slowly gave the answer.
"This..." Liu E frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice.
Her child is Zhao Heng's eldest son, and has a high chance of being established as the prince in the future. And the prince's teacher will naturally be named the young master, ranking among the three orphans!
However, Han Qing is only in his early twenties and is very strong. He has a high chance of surviving until the crown prince ascends the throne. By then, he will be an out-and-out emperor's advisor, and it will be natural for him to become the privy envoy (prime minister).
Therefore, she wanted to give Han Qing something in return and win him over to work for her, so she instinctively thought of asking him to be a teacher for her children.
However, she never thought that there were people in the world who were not interested in becoming an imperial master!
She was used to being a citizen of the Song Dynasty and being loyal to the royal family was natural. She instinctively wanted to refute Huang Hao. However, deep down in her heart, there was a faint voice telling her: Huang Hao's judgment may not be wrong.
"Your Majesty, this old slave is not qualified to give you advice. Liu Douzhi has been serving officials for many years, and his skills and experience are ten times that of this old slave." Although Huang Hao has decided to sell his life to Liu E, Huang Hao
Knowing where his boundaries were, he waited silently for a moment. Seeing that Liu E never responded further, he quietly suggested.
"I know that I have personally visited Liu Douzhi." Liu E sighed and waved her hand gently, "I have nothing else to do. You can go down and rest first!"
"Your Majesty, please be careful not to overwork yourself. I have to resign!" Huang Hao stood up, saluted, and slowly walked out of Funing Palace.
"Alas -" Liu E sighed and shook her head as she watched his figure disappear.
If Huang Hao is right, I am afraid that repaying Han Qing's life-saving grace by becoming a teacher for the emperor's eldest son will only be counterproductive.
In the eyes of others, being able to teach the prince is a supreme kindness. In the eyes of Han Qing, it may not necessarily be true.
As for the people of the Song Dynasty who would definitely be loyal to the royal family of the Song Dynasty, it may not be accurate.
Wang Jizhong, the observer who defected to the Liao Kingdom with Song Dynasty firearms and gunpowder, became very prosperous in the Liao Kingdom. Not only was he named the Duke of the country and given the surname Yelu, he also married a sixteen-year-old man at the age of over fifty.
The daughter of the Khitan clan fills the house.
Looking at the other Song generals and local officials who defected to the Liao Kingdom, most of them were reused. At least, on the surface, they were promoted to high positions and achieved glory for a while.
Although Han Qing killed so many generals of the Liao Kingdom, it was impossible for him to defect to the Liao Kingdom again. But there was more than just the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty in the world!
If he really couldn't gain a foothold in the Song Dynasty, he could still take his wife to Xiazhou and join Li Dezhao, the Duke of Xia. By then, would the officials still have the ability to order Li Dezhao to hand him over?
Based on this calculation, Liu E increasingly recognized that what Huang Hao just said was indeed reasonable.
However, recognition is recognition. Apart from being a teacher to the prince, she could not get any other rewards at all.
As the saying goes, her family knows her own affairs. She loves Zhao Heng deeply. At the same time, she also knows that her husband's mind is definitely not as broad as it seems on the surface.
At least, when it comes to imperial power and the country, my husband is absolutely scrupulous about spending every penny, and he is cautious to the point of being mean.
Han Qing is known as the "reincarnated robber", and the officials have not thought of a way to get rid of him until now. This is the result of weighing the overall situation and the reactions of Kou Zhun, Han Chonggui and others.
If you want to make the officials forget about the problem of "reincarnation and robbery", just like other officials, give Han Qing rewards based on his merits and promotions, which will be difficult to achieve.
"Wow, wow, wow--" A burst of crying suddenly came from the inner hall, pulling Liu E's attention away from her deep thoughts.
Quickly standing up, she ran towards her son in three or two steps. Before she could reach the door of the inner hall, she saw Li Cairen holding the child and walking towards her nervously, "Your Majesty, the eldest son of the emperor is awake again.
When I fell asleep, I would kick my hands and feet..."
"Are you hungry?" Liu E frowned and took over her own flesh and bones, asking with a bit of expectation, her heart hurting like a knife.
On that day, there were continuous explosions and shouts of death at Xuande Gate and Donghua Gate, and the smell of blood filled the palace. Even I was so frightened that my hands and feet became weak and it was difficult to breathe. Not to mention a child who was not yet one year old.
On that day, the Queen Mother was busy working as a receptionist to welcome King Yong into the palace, and the officials were busy imitating the old wisdom of "Zheng Gong Ke Duan". The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were either dragged on the front line, or chose to wait and see. Who cared about herself, the imperial concubine, and her children?
?
Only Han Qing, who could have broken out of the encirclement, decided to stay after receiving his request.
Only Han Qing, when ambushing King Yong with a musket, did not forget to instruct himself to find silk cloth to plug the ears of the eldest son of the emperor in advance to prevent the child from being frightened.
"I just fed him half an hour ago." Li Cai was soft-hearted and explained with tears. "The talismans invited by the Taoist temple are all hanging next to the cradle. Madam, why don't you find another imperial doctor..."
"No need!" Liu E shook her head and gritted her teeth to interrupt, "The medical skills of Imperial Physician Zhu are the best in Bianliang. If he can't do anything, other imperial doctors can't do it either."
After saying that, she lowered her head to look at the child's sallow face, and two lines of tears finally couldn't be controlled and flowed out from the corners of her eyes.
The child felt the warmth of his mother's body, his cries gradually became quieter, and his little head moved slightly. In this era, even ordinary official families would find a special wet nurse for the child. Liu E did not ask anyone to call for a wet nurse.
When the mother entered, she raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and then slowly untied her clothes.
Recently, she had been worried and scared, and she had stopped breastfeeding. However, the child in her arms took it into her mouth with satisfaction, and the crying in her mouth slowly turned into a whine, and then into a sucking sound.
The child's sucking force was very weak, but the pain in Liu E's chest became more severe. She gritted her teeth suddenly and whispered, "Do you remember what Ambassador Han looks like?"
"The empress is talking about Han Qing, the envoy of the Kaifeng Prefecture. Why don't you remember this? After careful calculation, she saved all our lives that day!" Li E was slightly startled by the question, and then responded hesitantly.
"Then you find an excuse to leave the palace, go see him for me, and give him a gift." Liu E looked around, trying to find a valuable object nearby to give to Han Qing, but she found that the thing given to her by the official
Although there are many, they are all used by women, and none of them are suitable to be transferred to Han Qing.
Looking around, he suddenly raised his hand, pulled off the phoenix hairpin on his head, and handed it to Li E, "This is for his wife. Then he sent a message to him for me, saying that I dare not forget his
The life-saving grace was just not repaid for the time being. Now, the eldest son of the emperor was frightened and asked if he would be willing to be his teacher and let the eldest son of the emperor borrow his reputation to ward off external evil."
"Yes!" Li Cairen agreed and took the hairpin, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he hesitated again and again, and reminded in a low voice, "Empress, is it appropriate for me to go? If you don't write a letter, please ask Huang Douzhi...
…”
"Go, don't ask the eunuch to do it for you. If possible, I would rather go in person!" Liu E gritted her teeth and added in a low voice, "When you see Han Qing, tell him that I am begging him as the mother of the child.
, not a noble concubine. If he is willing to agree, as long as I can get it, I am willing to spend everything I have to repay him. If he does not agree, Liu E will not blame him, only blame the child for his unhappiness. "
