Han Shizu

The hall was quiet, and the atmosphere was almost oppressive, and the end of Emperor Liu's questioning was still ringing around the beams, making people shudder.Especially Liu Yang and Zhao Pu, from the perspective of political wisdom, these two people can best understand what the old emperor said.

This is probably the most embarrassing thing that Emperor Liu has said to the prince in the past few decades, and it is also the most serious question, which is deeper than any direct scolding.Facing such an Emperor Liu, Liu Yang did not dare to answer such a question except to bury his head deeply. In such a situation, no matter what he said, it might irritate the old emperor who was mixed with sadness and suspicion.
In the face of Liu Yang's silent reaction, even though Emperor Liu wanted to vent his anger on him and vent his anger on him, he couldn't say anything.Beside him, buried lower than Liu Yang's head was Liu Wenji, who had no place to rest his hands, trying his best to digest the shock of Liu Xu's death.

Naturally, Liu Wenji was not familiar with Liu Xu. He had only met Liu Xu a few times since he was a child, and he hardly spoke to each other. The relationship was so weak, but Liu Wenji's impression of Liu Xu was extremely deep.

This all stems from his clever mother who has been instilling and analyzing important personnel situations inside and outside the court all the time. In Xiao Chuo's eyes, apart from King Yong, King Qin is the only one in the clan.Such an important uncle of the emperor died so suddenly. Liu Wenji still couldn't understand what kind of impact Liu Xu's early death would have on the Han royal family and the court, but his subconscious mind also told him that it was very serious.

Emperor Liu turned his head to look at Liu Wenji, his face was expressionless, and there was no trace of kindness. His eyes turned to the puzzle that had just been put together. The delicate and neat seams were like his body and mind that had gone through the vicissitudes of life and was full of cracks.

With a sudden movement, the drawing board was violently overturned, and the smooth and delicate blocks were scattered all over the floor. Everyone in the hall trembled in shock, and several palace officials even knelt down altogether.He struggled to get up, his movements were extremely clumsy, Yan Tuo saw it, and hurried forward to support him.

He got up and stood still, his eyes were a little blurred, he stretched out his trembling hands, and said indifferently: "I understand! You go, your elder brother's funeral should be handled properly according to the court order!"

After saying that, with the support of Yan Tuo, he went to the sleeping hall in a trance, leaving behind Liu Yang and Zhao Pu.At this time, the back view of Emperor Liu, the more lonely and heartbroken he felt the more he looked at it, the death of Liu Xiao, even if he felt guilty, there was still Concubine Zhexian to go to, and the death of Liu Xu, looking inside and outside the palace, was actually no one to sue, Geng Chen The concubine can be buried in Kaifeng.

"Yes!" The two servants raised the curtain, and Liu Yang just realized it, and bowed his hands.

"Father." The atmosphere in the hall was still gloomy, Liu Wenji called softly.

Looking at the well-behaved second son with suspicious expression on his face, Liu Yang raised his hand, patted him on the back, and sighed: "Go back to the East Palace first!"

"Yes! Resign!"

Coming and going together, Liu Yang and Zhao Pu went to the Guangzheng Hall together, Zhao Pu was half a body behind politely, and the two of them did not speak for a while.However, Zhao Pu's peripheral vision fell on Liu Yang from time to time, watching his expression.

At this moment, even Zhao Pu, who is as scheming as he is, can't help but wonder what is the inner portrayal of Prince Liu Yang.The performance of Emperor Liu in the Chuigong Palace just now is really making people feel uncomfortable.However, curiosity is curiosity, and it can only be hidden in the heart, especially when seeing the prince's unfazed appearance.

In the past few years of the new prime minister, Zhao Pu, in addition to fulfilling the tasks assigned by Emperor Liu to the letter and presiding over the overall situation of the reform, is also an objective outsider, viewing the vicissitudes of the Han court.

Prince Liu Yang is obviously Zhao Pu's key observation object, and this observation can be said to be full of emotions.In the early years, the prince Liu Yang had many "human" weaknesses, modest and even pedantic, generous and even cowardly, calm and even dull, in short, he almost put the label of "mediocre" on his face.

Of course, as Liu Yang has been in power for a long time, these "weaknesses" are constantly being overcome. In fact, after Liu Yang is about 30 years old, no one inside or outside the court dares to blame Liu Yang's "unlike holy bow" shortcomings. Talk about something.

Ordinary people are only in awe of the authority cultivated by a prince for more than 20 years, but Zhao Pu has never underestimated the prince, and even admired his cleverness, even though his clumsy technique is a bit clumsy, after all, his performance is somewhat obvious.

Up to now, when Liu Yang was old enough to be confused, Zhao Pu looked back, only to find that Liu Yang was no longer the prince of the past.Those so-called weaknesses and flaws in the past have disappeared without a trace in the prince. He is majestic and steady, calm and introverted, and there are almost no flaws in his body.

After all, this is a prince who has been a prince for more than 30 years, and he is still under the "excessive power" of Emperor Liu. Even if it is only for this number of years, it is worthy of admiration.Zhao Pu doesn't know how to evaluate such a change. Maybe it's because the crown prince has completely evolved and changed from the "slowness" of the past; less deterrent
But no matter what, Zhao Pu knew that the prince in front of him must not be underestimated and should be served carefully.Zhao Pu also couldn't help but think that when Emperor Liu proclaimed Andong the kingdom at the beginning of the year, the hearts of the entire court were settled.However, when the news of Liu Xu's death came, this matter was finally settled. After all, from now on, Liu Yang has both the son, the elder, and the virtuous, and there is a powerful force supporting him inside and out. Can be shaken.

Unless the old emperor wants to do something, however, although Emperor Liu has been paranoid and stubborn in recent years, and his suspicion is so heavy that it makes people feel faint, but in the overall situation, he still remains sober.

Of course, for Zhao Pu, he would have no worries about his future, his historical status had basically been settled, and the imperial court was ready to confer the title of Kaibao hero, no matter how he was ranked, he was number one in both civil and military affairs.

And Zhao Pu also knew in his heart that his official career began with Emperor Liu and should end with Emperor Liu. When it came to Liu Yang's era, regardless of whether he was still alive or not, it was impossible for him to have a place in the imperial court at that time.

Today's prince does not need anyone to support him, he is a towering tree for people to cling to.As the saying goes, one can be strong without desire, Zhao Pu, who is in his seventies, can see many things clearly.

Zhao Pu has nothing to worry about if it is for future generations' honor and fortune. Whether it is the first term or the second term, he has a good relationship with Liu Yang, and Liu Yang has always respected him. As long as he knows how to retreat bravely, within three generations, Be safe.

The snow was rustling on the ground, and the wind was blowing. As the two of them walked, two rows of relatively obvious marks were left in the chilly corridor.They were silent all the way, and neither of them opened their mouths until the Guangzheng Hall came into view, Liu Yang finally stopped, and Zhao Pu also stopped.

"Mr. Zhao, for King Qin's funeral, the political affairs hall will issue an obituary and set up a mourning hall." After a moment of silence, Liu Yang ordered to Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu nodded, thought for a while, cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

Since then, the gap has appeared. You must know that Liu Xiao's funeral was only attended by the Ministry of Rites, but when it came to Liu Xu, the Zhengshitang was the "organizer".

"In addition, give Yin Jilun a command and tell him that there is no need to act too hastily in the Tubo rebellion, and not to rush forward lightly. If it doesn't work, it should be decided after weighing convenience. But, no matter what, the safety of King Jin must be guaranteed!"

With a solemn face, Liu Yang said slowly, "You can't go on business trips with King Jin anymore."
