Han Shizu

Chapter 1406 The unpredictable psychology

"Since you're here, let's take a seat, and follow me to observe the demeanor of my great man!" After the matter was finished, Emperor Liu was interested in the riding and archery competition on the field of the camp. He pointed his hand and said to Brother Liu Chengyun.

Of course, Liu Chengyun also knew how to read words and expressions, and immediately responded: "Your Majesty, sit down, the minister waits, and I will take my leave first!"

"En!" Emperor Liu responded lightly.

Empress Fu sat beside Emperor Liu, silently listening to the conversation between the three of them, the monarch and his ministers, without interrupting, but carefully observing Emperor Liu's expression, there was a flash of deep thought in the eyes of the phoenix.

She is not a woman who doesn't understand politics, and she can't help thinking about the change in Emperor Liu's appointment to the clan, thinking about it, and gaining something.

"What are you thinking about?" Emperor Liu's questioning voice brought Dafu back from his thoughts.

Seeing Emperor Liu's gentle and smiling expression, Da Fu also gave up looking for what was hidden under this face at this time, and responded with a smile: "The conversation between you and Brother Xu Wang spread today, and Brother Jun will serve as an example." , the disciples of the clan, I'm afraid they will be overjoyed, thank you for your majesty's grace!"

"Being suppressed for so many years, once the ban is lifted, how can we not be happy!" Emperor Liu looked very calm, picked up a jade cup on the side table of the throne, and took a shallow sip.

As he spoke, he tilted his head to look at the talisman, and asked with a smile: "Da Fu, am I really being too harsh on the relatives of the clan as the outside rumors say?"

This is not easy to answer. Ten years ago, there were indeed similar rumors, and even caused some sensation. Many people discussed it in private, including the people.Of course, it is impossible to directly accuse the emperor of being harsh and ruthless, but that is what it means.

And the source of these rumors obviously came from those clans surnamed Liu who had no ambitions under Emperor Liu's suppression.Undoubtedly, it was about Liu Chong's family, and those sons who died of Liu Chong didn't all die normally.
Until later, no one dared to comment on this anymore, and the Liu family was the same. They dared not express their complaints at will, because they were afraid. After all, their arms could not twist their thighs.

Why did Emperor Liu order to relax the restrictions on Liu Chengjun and other clans after he moved west to Luoyang?As for Emperor Liu, he didn't really want to keep them as pigs forever. His relatives, dignitaries, and bureaucrats were all cultivating and growing up, so there was no reason to suppress the Liu family forever.

Just pondering for a while, Da Fu said calmly: "In the past, there were few talents in the clan. Even if the officials wanted to rely on them, they couldn't find anyone! Now, the children are gradually growing up, learning literary and martial arts, not to mention talents. There are many, but there are always some available people, and the officials promote them at the right time.

As for saying that the officials are harsh, that's even more nonsense, it's just that you have high demands. In the imperial court, mediocrity is not supported!Furthermore, these years, you have a lot of trust in the two brothers Yong Wang and Xu Wang, and the government and the public know it all, so why talk about harsh treatment? "

"Haha!" After listening to the talisman, he said these words seriously, Emperor Liu couldn't help laughing, and said to her: "Your words are comforting my heart!"

"However, I also know in my heart that it is a bit harsh!" Smiling slightly, Emperor Liu said again: "Brother Yun has repeatedly asked me in front of me these years. You are right. In the past, there was a shortage of available people. If they were all incompetent, even if they were forced to appoint them, it would be unworthy of virtue and the disaster would be even deeper. In that case, it would be better not to use them.

What I said to brother Yun just now is also from the bottom of my heart. After all, this world belongs to my Liu family, and more Liu family members need to stand up. Whether it is governing politics, the army or the people, it is good for the consolidation of the country. ! "

Hearing his words, Empress Fu nodded slightly, but the thoughts in her head involuntarily leaned in one direction. If you want to talk about the grown-up clan, the largest group, the most trustworthy group of people, apart from the sons of Emperor Liu, they can also who?
Is this Emperor Liu laying the groundwork?
Not to mention anything else, the three brothers like Liu Xu, Liu Xi, and Liu Fang, whether literary or military, have all demonstrated their talents, and their ability to handle affairs has also been tested. Over the years, their influence within the court has also grown. In the slow growth, Emperor Liu's careful cultivation has already reached the harvest season.

Even Liu Min, after the experience of the Mobei expedition, even though he is still young, can take on some things.In this case, if the princes are released, the mystery behind this is worth thinking about.

Da Fu has always been magnanimous, but she is not indisputable, but she is big enough to only fight for the key.For example, Liu Yang's crown prince position is the bottom line. As long as Liu Yang's position is stable, nothing else is a big problem.On this point, there is actually no essential difference between Dafu and Concubine Gao, it's just that she occupies a righteous name, and there is no need for excessive performance.

Liu Yang's crown prince has been in office for more than ten years, and his position is obviously stable and almost unshakable. From the East Palace to the court, from public officials to foreign relatives, a party of princelings has gradually formed and firmly supports him.

However, with the rise of the Liu Xu brothers in the court in recent years, Emperor Liu appointed them well, and they gradually assumed more and heavier responsibilities, and gradually formed their own group around them.

Although their influence is much weaker than the giant ship of the princeling party, there is no doubt that if they continue to develop, they will inevitably have an impact on Liu Yang's status as the prince.

One must know that these princes, especially the older ones, had already established their own houses, established families, established businesses, and after the Northern Expedition, they also held various positions in the court.

Fu Hou thinks about it in the long term. I also have concerns about this trend, thinking about how to prevent and solve it.And if Emperor Liu is now considering releasing the prince, then Empress Fu will definitely support her with both hands.

As long as Liu Xu and his brothers are sent to other places to work, no matter how capable they are and how great their achievements are, it will be difficult for them to have an impact on the crown prince.But it is not the case in Beijing, directly in the center, there is an opportunity, and it can pose a threat to the position of the crown prince from all aspects.

Now the Han Dynasty is in full swing, the political situation is stable, and the authority of the central government is unprecedentedly strong. The capital is the center of the world, and the core of power represents righteousness, and if you occupy righteousness, you can control the general trend.Even though Liu Yang's position is already stable enough, Da Fu also hopes to add some protection.

It is difficult to guess exactly what Emperor Liu is thinking about, even with a big talisman, but she also rarely has some hope in her heart, hoping that the result will be as she expected.

As for before this result comes out, Dafu will not speak rashly, let alone act recklessly. Even if she wants to push the prince to release, she will pay attention to methods and methods. For some things, only Emperor Liu can decide, and Emperor Liu will not be affected. Anyone who influences her, even if she is a big talisman or a queen, this point is very clear to the queen of the talisman.

Almost in an instant, Da Fu thought of a lot.Suddenly, I heard Emperor Liu muttering again: "I don't know, under Brother Jun's obedient appearance, how much complaints do you have towards me in your heart?"

Hearing this, even the big talisman couldn't help being startled. In a blink of an eye, Emperor Liu squinted his eyes slightly, and glanced at Liu Chengjun who had already been seated with Liu Chengyun. Knowing that he was suspicious again, he replied: "How could it be? Brother Jun, thank you for your grace, maybe it's too late!"

"Gratefulness, maybe there will be!" Hearing this, Emperor Liu showed a bright smile on his face: "However, resentment may not be gone! It has been almost 19 years since the fifth year of Qianyou. Years! For such a long time, in such a situation, I don’t know how much dissatisfaction and resentment has accumulated, if it were me, I would definitely resent it!”

Hearing what he said, Dafu couldn't help showing a forced smile, and said in a relieved tone: "Maybe you have encountered hardships in the past, but now you have started to make up for it, and it is the reward of suffering. You are the king, he is the minister, brother Jun He's not an extreme person either, so he would still be grateful to Dade if he thinks about it!"

"I hope!" Emperor Liu's smile remained the same, but it made people feel depressed, even with a big talisman, there was an inexplicable sense of discomfort in his heart.

Looking at Emperor Liu's side cheek, Da Fu couldn't help but sighed silently in his heart. Emperor Liu's suspicion seemed to have penetrated deep into his bone marrow with the growth of age, which sometimes made her feel terrified.

As for Emperor Liu, it seemed that he was still immersed in his own thoughts. In this world, although there is no shortage of submissive people and generous people, they belong to the minority after all.

Emperor Liu didn't believe that some small favors could make all grievances disappear.At least one point, Liu Chengjun will be grateful to himself?Emperor Liu absolutely did not believe it.

In fact, the reason why Emperor Liu was unwilling to pardon those sinners was because of these considerations. From his psychological point of view, hatred is difficult to dispel.It's not that he's not tolerant enough, it's just that he was afraid of letting the tiger infestation, the reason why he imprisoned the emperor's uncle Liu Xin until death.
