Emperor Liu Qigao was lying on the imperial couch, his face was a little pale and lifeless, and he kept coughing.
The doctor asked Zhou Ren to check his pulse. After a long time, Zhou Ren knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is overworked and has hurt his lungs. This disease can only be treated slowly. Your Majesty, please remember not to reverse day and night again! Otherwise, if it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid
Something unexpected happened!"
"I know!" the emperor waved his hand.
As an emperor, how easy is it to cultivate yourself?
Every day, memorials from local counties and counties pile up like a mountain.
A memorial is a roll of bamboo slips, weighing at least one or two kilograms. Even if you just read the instructions, you have to pick up and put down several thousand kilograms of bamboo slips a day on average. If you add instructions and discuss with others, it will be a waste of time.
I don’t know how much physical strength I have.
Even a strong body cannot withstand such exertion!
What's more, he is already thirty-four years old this year, and his body is beginning to age, and his immunity and recovery capabilities of various functions have completely declined.
However, if political affairs are not handled, he will not feel relieved.
This world belongs to him, not the prime minister or the ministers.
How could he feel at ease if he didn't personally read the memorials reported by local counties?
"I know my body well!" The emperor waved his hand to stop Zhou Ren who wanted to continue to dissuade him. He sat up and asked: "Liu De should be in Hedong County now, right?"
He turned to his followers and asked, "Is there any letter sent back?"
In the past, Liu De and his sons were always around, and he didn't think there was anything wrong if they all left.
But now, as all the princes were enfeoffed and left the capital to live in the country, Liu De also traveled to the east of Hedong. This made the emperor suddenly feel a little lonely, and even he missed Liu Rong a little!
Not to mention Liu De.
Since Liu De left Beijing, he asked three questions a day on average. When Liu De passed Hangu Pass, he sent envoys to deliver messages along the way.
At the slightest sign of disturbance, he would be startled and confused.
Some time ago, after Zhidu sent someone back to send back an official who intended to blackmail Liu De, the emperor of the Han family would not pay attention to such a trivial matter at all. He would just leave it to Tingwei to handle.
However, the emperor was furious and personally ordered Zhao Yu, the criminal cao of the Tingwei Yamen, to be responsible for the investigation.
Who is Zhao Yu?
The local virtuous official recommended by Lieutenant Zhou Yafu was known for his strict handling of cases. Officials who fell into his hands often suffered a fate worse than death. Some people even cursed him and said: Sooner or later he will become a Jing man!
What are Jing people?
Rong Di is Ying, Jing Shu is Punishment.
It means that sooner or later he will be exiled and driven to a barbarian land.
This order from the emperor is tantamount to punishing his crimes, the more severe the better!
So, after entering Tingwei's prison, the poor guy immediately confessed to major crimes such as extorting innocent people, running rampant in the market, seeking wealth and killing, etc. He was already sentenced to death, and even his father was implicated.
He was questioned and sentenced to death.
In just two days, the poor guy and his family were nailed to the pillar of shame of criminals, and they will never be able to stand up again.
Liu De crossed the river with his front legs, and with his hind legs, Doctor Taizhong, who was holding the Emperor's Order Talisman, had reached the edge of the river without a doubt.
It is pity that a well-known and wise minister in the late emperor's dynasty, a dignified minister with two thousand dan, had just succeeded Dou Ying as Taizhong doctor, and before his buttocks were even warmed up, he was sent to do such trivial tasks as delivering documents.
Zhang De, who was standing nearby, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, early this morning, Doctor Taizhong sent back a letter saying that His Highness has arrived in Dayang!"
"Dayang is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and clear waters!" Emperor Liu Qi said with a smile: "I still remember the time when I, the emperor father and the queen mother worshiped at Dayang Tianzi Temple together!"
Of course, more importantly, there are many beauties in Dayang...
At this time, a eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the governor of Hedong County urgently reported that there was a fire in Gencang, destroying nearly one million dan of grain!"
The smile on the emperor's face fell instantly.
It’s true that misfortunes never come singly!
Due to the fire in Gencang and the recent locust plague, Hedong County will be unable to make ends meet this year!
"In addition, Your Highness Liu De has urgently reported to Your Majesty from Dayang. Doctor Taizhong has no doubt that he also has an urgent report!" The eunuch knelt down and handed over to the emperor three reports of their arrival in Chang'an.
Emperor Liu Qi accepted the three memorials.
After reading each letter, his face and mood suddenly became livid.
He threw the memorial from Hedong County to the ground and said coldly: "How dare you bully me!"
If Liu De was the only one reporting the report, he might still have doubts. However, even Zhidu signed the report, and Dr. Taizhong Zhibuyi, who was sent to protect and communicate secretly, also wrote back saying that the people of Dayang are all talented.
Regardless of anything else, these two points were enough to make Emperor Liu Qi furious.
The crime of deceiving the emperor can be said to be the most unacceptable crime to the emperor. If you touch it, you will die, if you touch it, you will die.
At that time, Lian Guojiu, the chariot and cavalry general, Zhihou Bo Zhao, deceived the emperor and corrected the imperial edict, so he was forced to commit suicide.
However, when he thought about the report from Hedong County, Emperor Liu Qi's eyes were filled with doubts.
His rich political experience and keen political sense immediately made him smell something unusual.
So, he turned to Zhang De and said: "I will give you the festival staff and the tiger talisman. You will go to Hedong and patrol and examine the east of Hedong together with Dr. Taizhong. If something unexpected happens, use the tiger talisman to mobilize the Hexi army to attack Anyi."
!”
The Han family has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Xingyang, west of Hexi Province, ready to attack, watching the princes east of Luoyang with eager eyes. If something goes wrong in Hedong at this time, there will be some trouble.
If it were another dynasty, the emperor might first want to settle the matter first and then settle the accounts later, but the emperor of the Han family was extremely strong-willed.
If you dare to jump the wall with the emperor, the emperor will teach you how to behave in minutes!
Because military power was involved, the emperor had to send a eunuch to choose. Emperor Liu Qi chose Zhang De because Zhang De had just been a scapegoat for him not long ago. Well, he wanted to give some compensation.
Let him go out and enjoy the scenery!
"No!" Zhang De said calmly on the surface, but he was extremely happy in his heart.
In Chang'an, a eunuch like him is just a slave. If others are happy and call him Zhang Gong, he will apologize. If he is unhappy, if he is called a eunuch, he will still apologize.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Chang'an, he is the grandson.
However, once he patrols the place as an angel, he represents the authority of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He holds the emperor's festival. If I come in person, not only the local officials will have to serve him like their ancestors, but even the noble ministers of Chehou will have to lick him obediently.
The feet are the uncle's.
The eunuchs in the palace were looking forward to it day and night, weren't they just looking forward to having such an opportunity to go out and show off their power?
At this time, Zhang De felt that the slap he received not long ago was really worth it!
What's more, His Highness Liu De is in Hedong, taking this opportunity to get closer and closer, deepen the relationship, and prepare for the future... (To be continued...)
