Chapter 1364 Emperor Liu is still the Emperor Liu
"Erlang, do you know what you admire the most?" Dafu's eyes became very gentle, and he said softly: "In my opinion, it is not those great achievements that are admired by the world and will be recorded in the annals of history forever. Stay sober, although there is no shortage of hasty and willful actions, but in critical moments, you are always wise and calm.

For more than twenty years, the government and the public have sung praises to you and worshiped you like a god, but they did not indulge in those boasting and flattery. Instead, they always looked back and did not forget to reflect on themselves. For an emperor like you, this so rare”

"Aren't you flattering me?" Hearing what he said, Emperor Liu laughed.

"Although there is a compliment, but it is true!" Dafu said.

"It's not that I'm calm and rational, but that I'm suspicious!" Emperor Liu laughed at himself, and said in front of the talisman without hesitation: "When others are conservative, I am aggressive, and when others are excited , I fear!
Examining myself three times is something that only the sages and sages could do. I took off the dragon robe and am just a mortal. Over the years, I have made many mistakes and regretted many things. Right now, I am a little at a loss."

"You can't be confused! Otherwise, how can the country's imperial court, the country, the country, and the people of the world depend on each other?" Da Fu persuaded.

"I am responsible for the country, the country, and the country, but all the people in the world don't live for me!" Emperor Liu shook his head.

After talking with the big talisman, Emperor Liu's mood obviously improved a lot, he regained some energy, sat up, leaned on a pillow, and signaled the big talisman to go to bed.

The couple snuggled together, and Emperor Liu said leisurely: "I have been in power for 23 years since the first year of Qianyou. Perhaps such a long time has made people feel bored!"

Hearing this, Da Fu suddenly sat up and turned his head to look at Emperor Liu: "Why did you say that?"

"If you change to a weaker emperor, those nobles, generals, ministers, and even the servants in the palace will be much more comfortable, and the family and the world will not have so many troubles!" Emperor Liu said with a light smile : "The people of the Li people, let alone, but the ministers and ministers in the imperial court, see me every day and ask for my greetings all the time. Don't they feel bored?"

"If your words are spread, how can the court be safe inside and outside the palace?" Da Fu shook his head lightly, staring at Emperor Liu and said.

"I'll just tell you, you can't spread the word!" Emperor Liu said.

"Erlang, since this year, you have been burdened too much, so that you are exhausted!" Leaning gently on Emperor Liu, Da Fu said warmly.

"Maybe I'm really tired!" Emperor Liu said with a little melancholy in his tone: "In the past, I often told my officials to follow the example of Zhenguan. I also compared myself to Tang Taizong! Tang Taizong was only 23 years old. load."

Seeing that Emperor Liu's mood was waning, Dafu said: "You also said that you must make great achievements to surpass Han Wu. Emperor Wu of Han has been in power for more than [-] years, and Erlang has not been in power for half of it!"

Emperor Liu immediately said: "I have no intention of being older than anyone else in power. So what if Liu Che has been in power for more than [-] years. He is old and faint, and the country is in danger. Tang Xuanzong has been in power for a long time. An Shi chaos , the prosperous Tang Dynasty turned into ashes. In the past two years, I really feel that my energy is low and I feel powerless. You have persuaded me, but this slackness is always inevitable."

In this case, only in front of the empress, Emperor Liu would say it with all his heart and soul, and Da Fu listened to her words, his face changed, but he didn't talk to her about it in depth, but comforted him with her tenderness and virtuousness .
After more than 20 years of husband and wife, Dafu knows Emperor Liu very well. Although Dafu has repeatedly shown her strength in the past, she still divides things. In fact, most of the time, Dafu is still careful to cater to Emperor Liu.

After all, Emperor Liu is an emperor, the king of the world, and the head of the family. Even if she respects him and loves her, she never dares to be arrogant. There are concessions between husband and wife, and most of them are queens.

And as Emperor Liu got older, Dafu was no longer what he used to be, he dared to say anything, he had to advise on any opinions, and more, he had to obey his temper.

Just like tonight, it has been a long time since the husband and wife uttered their heartfelt words.As for Emperor Liu's similar physical and mental exhaustion, she would not take it seriously if the emperor has been slack for a long time.

These are just that Emperor Liu has been under more pressure this year, and he has accumulated a lot of negative emotions in his heart, and he just vomits bitterness and vents.

"By the way, have you met the little lady of Zhao Kuangyin's family?" Emperor Liu asked after his mood improved after talking.

"I met you in the palace two days ago. Although she is not stunning, she has a good family education. She is knowledgeable and courteous. She will be a virtuous lady!" Dafu heard this, and there was a satisfied expression on his face: "I agree with you. The Crown Princess has also talked about it, and she is very sincere and accepts it with pleasure."

This is where Dafu is thoughtful. Like Emperor Liu, he would not care about the feelings and thoughts of a princess. There is still room for him to violate his meaning, and Liu Yang's opinion is not even considered.

"Whether you are virtuous or not, you won't be able to tell in a short time!" Emperor Liu said indifferently: "However, if Liu Yang can't even rule a small family, how can he rule the world?"

Emperor Liu's strength is always revealed inadvertently: "Since you have already met, this matter is completely settled. After the next period of time is busy, choose a date and arrange the marriage. In addition, Liu Yun's marriage was also discussed with Concubine Xian, and it was decided together!"

"Mm! I will take care of this matter myself!" Da Fu replied, the prince's marriage is also her duty as a queen.

The emperor's repeated activities after returning to Beijing did not exhaust the enthusiasm of the people of Xijing. It was still early, and in Luoyang City, there was already smoke billowing and firecrackers.

The palace is also normal, shrouded in a festive atmosphere, with palace lanterns everywhere, colorful satins fluttering, and gorgeousness everywhere.The palace people still enter the venue to clean the palace, but with a little more joy. On the occasion of the New Year, all the servants will be rewarded with a certain amount of money and food according to their rank.

As usual, the entire imperial court is basically in a state of vacation and rest. Except for a few people on duty, most people are happy, returning home for the New Year, visiting relatives and friends.

For the bureaucrats of the big Han, since the opening of the treasure, Emperor Liu has actually given a lot of favors. It is completely different from that in the early days, when they were cattle and horses, there were few holidays, and they might even be open all year round.However, with the improvement of the rest and mu system, the rest time has been continuously increased, especially from the beginning of the first lunar month to around the Lantern Festival, it is even more relaxed.

But this year is obviously different. After the vigorous Kaibao Northern Expedition, the aftermath needs to be dealt with urgently, without delay, and needs to be arranged in time. There are too many things.

Therefore, although it is the New Year, after the one-night celebration, most people still have to drag their tired bodies back to the government office to deal with official duties the next day, especially the government affairs hall, the Privy Council, the Finance Secretary, and the Ministry of War. officials.

And just as Fu Hou understood, what was wrong with Emperor Liu was just a momentary upset. After finding a listener to talk about it, he vented it. The next day, as if nothing had happened, he smiled and regained his energy. , no haze.

"Your Majesty, I'm waiting to see you!" Although they were exhausted, the ministers of the political affairs hall showed a very energetic outlook when they paid homage to the emperor.

"Let's all be excused!" Emperor Liu raised his hand and said to the officials who maintained a respectful posture.

As the power center of the great man, to Emperor Liu, there is no sense of mystery at all. He looked around, entered the inner room, lifted his robe and sat down, stretched out his hand to Zhao Pu, Song Qi, and Li Ye and said, "Sit down! Sit down and say !"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It's only the second day of junior high school. I see that there are all the officials in the political affairs hall. Why bother to work so hard during the festival!" Emperor Liu said insincerely.

Zhao Puying said: "Nowadays, the imperial court has heavy affairs and urgent state affairs, so none of the ministers and workers want to leave their posts! If the state affairs are not handled well, even if it is a holiday, the ministers will not feel at ease!"

Emperor Liu smiled, and was very satisfied with Zhao Pu's attitude. Moreover, without any investigation, it was known that Zhao Pu definitely exerted some coercion on his subordinate officials.

"Thank you for your hard work! After a while, I will give you a big vacation!" Emperor Liu said, "I have ordered some goods to be sent to the palace, and I will send them to your houses at that time. !"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern!" Hearing this, Zhao Pu and the others immediately thanked him.

Seeing Emperor Liu's easy-going and friendly performance, Zhao Pu's mood also relaxed a little. He was naturally aware of the change in Emperor Liu's mood during yesterday's banquet.
