Chapter 1503 The stubborn Emperor Liu
"Your Majesty, I have something to do, and I hope His Majesty will agree to it!" As if thinking of something, Zhao Pu solemnly cupped his hands.

Seeing Zhao Pu's solemn appearance, Emperor Liu was a little surprised, waved his hands and said, "Say it!"

"Your Majesty understands that His Majesty's intention to inspect the disaster and sympathize with the people's situation is to inspect the disaster and show compassion for the people. However, the crisis of the epidemic has not yet resolved. In order to protect the health and safety of the body, please take a break and do it yourself. Don't take risks!" Zhao Pu said. request.

Hearing this, the smile on Emperor Liu's face subsided a bit, but there was no sign of anger or dissatisfaction. After all, Zhao Pu also cared for him, out of loyalty and taking the overall situation into consideration.

However, Emperor Liu obviously had his own thoughts in his heart, and said in an unhurried tone, "Since Qing also understands what I'm thinking, why bother to resist?"

"Your Majesty's precious body, the honor of ten thousand chariots, concerns the country, so don't be careless!" Zhao Pu still had a serious expression, and said seriously: "If your Majesty really cares about the people in the disaster area, I can go there on your behalf and spread the grace of heaven."

If it was normal, or something else, what to do in place of the emperor, Zhao Pu didn't dare to speak out.However, Zhao Pu said it very calmly and loyally about the risky thing.

Faced with Zhao Pu's "Chi Chen" remonstrance, Emperor Liu frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then calmly said: "Your thoughts, your concerns, I can understand. However, you often Whispering in my ears, is there any place in the world where I can't go?

The people in the disaster-stricken prefectures and counties are also under the rule of the imperial court, and they are the people of Zhen, no different from other Dao prefectures.Now that they are in a difficult time, they just need to boost people's spirits, they just need help, and when they are given enough support, what else can inspire their hearts more than my visit to comfort them?

I am not traveling to Kaifeng for sightseeing this time, I want to see the situation in the Central Plains for myself.In the past few months, the officials and people along the river have first fought against the flood and flood, and then against the epidemic and disease. Now they are still working hard. If I go to Tokyo, I will stop and stop moving forward. Let the people in the disaster-stricken area think about it and let the people in the world think about it. I won't do it.

I want to let the devastated counties in the Central Plains and the people in the disaster areas who are waiting to be fed know that the imperial court is with them, and I am with them."

Hearing Emperor Liu utter such high-sounding words, the corners of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, feeling speechless for a moment, the emperor talked so much about righteousness, and he continued to say take care of your body and don't risk your life , It's a bit useless to be a villain.

"Your Majesty, please think again!" However, Zhao Pu still did not give up and said in a deep voice.

"I will think about it!" Emperor Liu waved his hand, and said confidently: "I have conquered all these years, and I have waded through swords, swords, volcanoes, and seas. What dangers have I not experienced? If you talk about epidemics, when Huainan was hit, it would be the same. It’s not that it didn’t happen, I was in the middle of it, and I haven’t passed it safely.”

Emperor Liu continued to utter wild words, and put gold on his face. At the same time, no matter his tone or demeanor, there was the word "stubborn".

Looking at Zhao Pu, he continued: "Over the years, the imperial court has invested so much energy in medicine and medicine, and has made many achievements in epidemic prevention and disease prevention. I trust our medical officers and doctors, and I also trust local officials and people.

You also said that the epidemic has been brought under control. If this is the case, the affected states and counties are still some kind of dragon's pond and tiger's den, so that I dare not cross the thunder pool. It means that the Secretary has not done his duty and the prevention and control is not in place. Then what Zhao Qing should do is not Come to stop me, but to pursue responsibility and fight the epidemic.”

Why bother?Seeing Emperor Liu talking so eloquently, Zhao Pu asked silently in his heart.

But seeing Emperor Liu's resolute expression, it was obviously very difficult to shake his will.After thinking for a while, Zhao Pu said solemnly: "Your Majesty loves the people, and I admire you so much. If Your Majesty is determined, then I would like to take a rest in Tokyo first, and then go to the hospital in person when the situation in the epidemic area improves further. !"

It was rare for Zhao Pu to be so stubborn in admonishing. Emperor Liu couldn't say anything harsh. After all, he was thinking for himself. After thinking about it, he thought that he should give his prime minister some face, so he let go, nodded and said: " That's it! It is estimated that when we arrive in Tokyo, there will be delays!"

Seeing this, Zhao Pu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but secretly felt ruthless in his heart. He had to supervise the affected areas and counties to strengthen the exclusion, diagnosis and treatment, and improve efficiency.

Emperor Liu can speak forcefully and hotly, but he can't be negligent. He is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If Emperor Liu is also infected, the matter will be serious.

If that is the case, he, as the prime minister with the highest status in the accompanying chauffeur, bears the first responsibility, and he can be criticized for a single ineffective admonition, even if he has tried his best to persuade.

In fact, during this period of time, Zhao Pu's life was not easy.So many things have happened to the country, the wind and rain are precarious, there are floods, and epidemics, and the scale is not small, as if it has been punished by God and cursed, there are many discussions between the government and the opposition.

Even from beginning to end, Emperor Liu, as always, showed the determination and policy guidance of "man will conquer nature", unreservedly supported the ruling group headed by Zhao Pu to fight disasters and rescue the people, and even severely cracked down on those negative people who relied on praying to God and worshiping Buddha .

But the facts have proved that people's hearts are always unpredictable. Emperor Liu's strength can silence the court, but he can't control what others think.But in this kind of catastrophe and chaos, it is always inevitable for those who fish in troubled waters, ghosts and snakes to appear one after another, using various opportunities and methods to show their sense of existence.

Floods first, epidemics later, natural disasters, and man-made disasters. There are always reasons for such turmoil in the country, and someone must be responsible.

Heaven and man feel that it is not good to talk nonsense about this, and it is not good to talk about it on the emperor, and it is not good to hang it on the prince, so the goal of many smart people is to point to Zhao Pu.

Since it is not for the ruler to lose morality, it must be for the ruler to lose morality, and within the Han court, Zhao Pu is in power.When Zhao Pu was in power, the authority was established. Many people feared him and looked up to him. There were many followers, but there were also many opponents, especially the nobles.

When fighting against the flood, with the protection of Emperor Liu, the attack was difficult to achieve results.When the flood receded and the disease reappeared, the rumors against Zhao Pu became rampant again.Although Emperor Liu still chose to believe in and support Zhao Pu, he did not take too rough and radical measures after all, and some words and deeds were irreversible.

In this way, the pressure naturally came to Zhao Pu. As the current prime minister, let alone one person, he always held the power. How could he feel happy when he was subjected to those unnecessary accusations and attacks.

However, even so, revenge cannot be launched, at least on the surface. It can neither intensify conflicts and affect the harmony within the court, but also cooperate with Emperor Liu's purpose of "opening up the road of speech".

After all, the Shangzuo is the power of the courtiers and censors, and they also act according to the court system, there is no overstep, but the one who impeaches is him, the prime minister, that's all.Speaking of harmony in disharmony, in many cases it seems absurd.

At the same time, in order to show the demeanor of his prime minister, he had to smile, not to mention resignation, but also to be calm.Probably what frustrates him the most is that some people simply hand over the articles of impeachment to Mr. Zhao's desk, which is really worse than eating flies.

The two monarchs and ministers chatted and also talked about this matter. Emperor Liu was even casual, as if he took this situation as a joke.Zhao Pu was hesitant to speak for several times, and wanted to add another word. He hoped that Emperor Liu would restrict the impeachment of the ministers and speech officials. There should be restrictions on the way of speaking. At least in Zhao Pu's opinion, it should not be left to chance , gossip, rumors, is undesirable.

However, when the words came to his lips, he was a little speechless, after all, it was Zhao Pu who was deeply disturbed by it.It is easy to say something, but you have to consider the consequences and impact, and it is easy to implement the facts. After weighing it, I decided to hold back and make another plan.

Although it was difficult for Emperor Liu to see through Zhao Pu's inner struggle, his hesitant expression was still obvious, and he could feel the anxiety that was rarely seen on weekdays.

After thinking about it, she showed a warm smile like a spring breeze, and comforted her: "Zhao Qing has been wronged during this time, and I know who is boastful and who is hardworking in the court.

Regarding the recent impeachments in the court, I didn't even look at them. Of course, I have also received a lot of memorials praising you.

There is a saying that those who are famous all over the world will be ruined all over the world. The current situation can only show that you, Mr. Zhao, are a promising minister of the great man. You, the prime minister, have done a good job. Shaken by the turmoil between the ruling and opposition parties.

Of course, there are some people who go too far, gossip about things, make a fuss over a molehill, not to mention wasting paper, and affect the atmosphere of the court, so they should be restrained."

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, even Zhao Pu couldn't help feeling relieved, as if there was warmth flowing through him, His Majesty is still wise.Even, at this moment, he felt that he and the emperor had reached that heart-to-heart understanding.

Of course, it was only a momentary feeling, Zhao Pu calmed down quickly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise! I am very grateful! Except for my loyalty and hard work, I will have nothing to repay!"
