Han Shizu

It was midsummer, the weather was extremely hot, and the world was like a stuffy stove. For Emperor Liu, such days were extremely difficult.Those close to him all know that since June, the old emperor has become more irritable, and it is obviously because of the weather.

And this year, the attack was particularly serious, and I couldn't sit still, and I couldn't sleep or eat well. It's no longer just fanning the wind, just adding some ice cubes can solve it.What is different from the past is that people are dizzy from the heat, but sweat less.

In the words of the imperial physician, it was heat and poison accumulated in the body, and the effect of acupuncture and medicine was not good, and he did not dare to use strong medicine, let alone let the old emperor be greedy for cold. Naturally, it was Emperor Liu who suffered like this.

Seeing the violation of the holy body, the ministers and ministers were also "worried". Of course, in the ears of Emperor Liu, there was a turmoil in people's hearts, and even ulterior motives, and then the crown prince and Zhao Pu were reprimanded.

Seeing that Emperor Liu was becoming more and more intolerable to the heat, some people moved their minds. Dong Yan, a member of the Ministry of Rites, came up with a petition, asking Emperor Liu to move to another garden for the sake of the saint's health.For this, Emperor Liu was tempted. Of course, he was tempted every year in the past, but in the past he was able to resist the heat and suppress his desires, but this year is really difficult.

On such matters, the emperor didn't need to spend too much time talking if he wanted to. He only needed to reveal a little bit of meaning, and his officials racked their brains to handle it well.Therefore, the problem of the old emperor's summer vacation has become an important issue of the court, and it is a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Of course, after a short period of discussion, it returned to the old problem at the beginning. There is no summer resort with suitable conditions in all aspects around Gyeonggi.At the end of the discussion, Jigong Mountain in Xinyang came into view again, and the construction of the Li Palace on Jigong Mountain was also put on the agenda again. The "Jigong Mountain Summer Resort" project plan rejected by Emperor Liu was completely submitted to the imperial case.

To show his attitude, Emperor Liu had indeed burned the drawing, which was also the original manuscript, but the Shaofu had a record, and it has been sealed away, waiting to be unsealed. Sure enough, he waited for the opportunity to see the light of day again...

When reviewing the design drawings of the Summer Palace again, Emperor Liu still hesitated, but this time he hesitated, and the tendency of his hesitation was to repair.Finally, after three full days of deliberation, Emperor Liu formally issued an edict to build a summer palace in Jigong Mountain, Xinyang.

Probably in order to seek psychological comfort, Emperor Liu also "asked" the opinions of the ministers on this matter, so it is naturally impossible to get other answers.At the same time, all the expenses of building the Li Palace will be borne by the internal funds. In Emperor Liu's words, this is his own business, and the country's financial resources will not be wasted...

Obviously, some subtle changes have taken place in Emperor Liu's psychology.It was probably also caused by the rapid decline of the body in the past two years. Since the fall last year, Emperor Liu has been unhappy here and not hesitant there. The surface of his body has recovered, but his mind has never healed, as if there is nothing good in his body. The place.

Previously, Emperor Liu's thought was that he might not have many days left, so he would stop building and making troubles.What is now considered is that if he does not take a good rest, there will not be much time left. How much manpower will he consume as an old man?

In this way, the problem of Emperor Liu's summer vacation was implemented as a solution. Emperor Liu got a summer palace, the Shaofu and the Ministry of Industry got a big project that could please the emperor, and the people of Xinyang, Shenzhou, Guangzhou and even the surrounding counties got a Even Dong Yan, who initiated this proposal, added an eye-catching "suggestion" to his resume.

Of course, this is only an ideal result
However, far away water can hardly quench the near thirst, and it is basically impossible to complete the Jigongshan Palace within a year or so, but Emperor Liu obviously can't wait that long.

In the end, we could only find a compromise. In Luoyang Xiyuan, we specially decorated a small garden building, combined with ice cubes and summer mats, to barely survive this summer.

Inside the small building, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and shaded by green trees, Emperor Liu has lived here for more than a month. During this time, he has basically put aside state affairs completely, like a hermit, and is focused on enjoying the cool and escaping the heat.

It's also strange, after the construction of the Jigongshan Palace was decided, and the Shaofu and the Ministry of Industry also sent people to Jigongshan for preparations, Emperor Liu still felt uncomfortable, but his temper improved a lot, and he was no longer so irritable. The palace people relaxed a lot.

Next to the waterside pavilion, under the shadows, there was a mat on the ground. Emperor Liu was in unlined clothes, with disheveled hair, lying on the edge of the water in a very unrecognizable manner, with no railings separating him. A boring look.

Yan Tuo and the others waited by the side. Although they were silent, they fixed their eyes on Emperor Liu. After all, they were near the water, so they were afraid that he would accidentally fall into the water.

Emperor Liu's "leisure" didn't last long, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and it was Prince Liu Yang who rushed towards Emperor Liu along the waterside corridor.

However, he was stopped by the guards from a distance. The emperor has an order not to let anyone disturb him. If the king's order is like this, even the crown prince can't violate it.

If it was an ordinary time, Liu Yang would have waited, but today he obviously had something important to do, so he couldn't help but rush in.In this regard, the two guards really can't do anything, this is the prince, he can't really use the knife, right?
The commotion caused by Liu Yang was a bit loud, and it was directly transmitted to Emperor Liu. He frowned slightly, and said to Yan, "Let him come over!"

"Yes!" Yan Tuo responded, and went to welcome the prince himself.

Liu Yang didn't show any politeness either. He followed Yan Tuo and walked quickly to the king. All ten people could feel his seriousness.Turning his head to glance at Liu Yang, Emperor Liu said indifferently: "What is it that you are asked to do something like driving!"

Emperor Liu seemed careless, but Liu Yang had a dignified face. He hesitated to speak when he heard the question, and there seemed to be a little sadness in his eyes to observe his abnormality. Sitting up, he asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Tell me!"

Liu Yang took a deep breath, and said in a serious tone: "I just received Guo Liangping's report, saying that my eleventh brother is sick and dead."

Emperor Liu didn't react at the first time, he thought about it habitually, and then he came back to it, and then his old eyes almost burst open, and he shouted angrily at Liu Yang: "What did you say! Say it again!"

Facing the appearance of Emperor Liu baring his teeth and claws, Liu Yang did not panic, but his eyes were red, and the sadness in his words could no longer hide: "The eleventh brother is dead."

When the confirmed answer came out of Liu Yang's mouth, Emperor Liu froze, turning from fury to numbness.Slowly got up, raised his eyes to look to the south, only the sparkling light dazzled his eyes, he was in a trance, stepped on the air and fell into the water.
