Han Shizu

Chapter 2035 A sigh

Luoyang, East Palace, Hongde Hall.

It was still dawn, and Prince Liu Yang rarely appeared in the palace.During the six months when the old emperor was on tour, Liu Yang almost made the Guangzheng Palace Government Hall his home, conscientiously and down-to-earth performing his duties as a supervising prince.

He has been in power for many years, but it has to be said that this is the first time that Liu Yang has truly held the power and managed the country and handled the government affairs completely according to his ideas and methods. In the past, as long as the old emperor was around, it was inevitable that there would be constraints. After all, everyone has that Consciousness, at critical moments and critical matters, it is still the old emperor who makes the final decision.

Of course, even though he was in power, Liu Yang did not show the arrogance of "just following orders". Instead, he was more cautious. He discussed everything with the left-behind ministers and never made arbitrary decisions. This kind of modest and cautious attitude was naturally more prudent. He was supported by the "honest ministers and virtuous people" of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, Liu Yang's purpose is not to win people's hearts and win the favor of ministers. He just adheres to one thing from the bottom of his heart: He who travels a hundred miles is only half ninety.For Liu Yang now, he has reached this point, how can he relax at all.

The two grandsons of the emperor had accompanied him on his southern tour, and the East Palace seemed "deserted", with much less disputes.All external manifestations have internal reasons, and the fundamental contradictions of all the disputes that occurred in the East Palace in the past still lie with the emperors and grandchildren...

Beside the food table, Liu Yang hugged a child with his left hand. His chubby little face was pink and tender. He opened his lively eyes and looked at Liu Yang, or rather at the spoon in his hand. When fed to you, open your mouth and eat immediately.

The little boy is Liu Yang's youngest son, Liu Wenpeng. Although he is still a child under five years old, according to the etiquette system, he is the most legitimate successor of the Han Dynasty.There is no other reason. He is the crown prince's legitimate son and represents the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, in the past few years, countless eyes inside and outside have been cast on the growing emperor's grandson. Even Liu Yang himself looked at Liu Wenpeng with observation and scrutiny from time to time, even if he was only a fourth or fifth-year-old. At the age of [-], this is what he must endure as the legitimate son of the Tian family. This is how Liu Yang got to where he is now...

"Is it delicious?" Liu Yang picked up a silk handkerchief, gently wiped the corners of Liu Wenpeng's mouth, and asked softly.

Liu Wenpeng nodded and said in a clear voice: "It's delicious!"

"Remember, this is called minced meat, 'why not eat minced meat' minced meat!" Liu Yang raised his hand and stroked Liu Wenpeng's head, Liu Yang said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Of course Liu Wenpeng didn't understand the emotion and wisdom hidden in his father's words, but he still nodded obediently.

"One more spoonful..."

Not far away, Crown Princess Murong was also sitting dignifiedly behind a food table. The food on the table was rarely moved. She stared at the father and son with her eyes, feeling the warm atmosphere, with a graceful expression on her face that could not be suppressed. A lively smile.

In my heart, I couldn't help but think how great it would be if there were only three of them as a family. Immediately afterwards, I frowned, obviously thinking of something unhappy...

While he was dining in the dining room, the chamberlain Wang Yue hurried over and noticed his solemn expression. Liu Yang's forehead was also slightly condensed, but he didn't express anything. He just tilted his head slightly outward.

Seeing this, Wang Yue stepped forward, lowered his body and whispered to Liu Yang.Following Wang Yue's report, Liu Yang's face completely darkened and he stopped moving. The atmosphere in the palace became visibly depressed.

After pondering for a while, Liu Yang raised his head and ordered the princess: "Can you take Wenpeng and retreat?"

His eyes turned to Wang Yue and the prince. Although he was curious about what happened, he still acted obediently. He stood up and took the confused Liu Wenpeng in hand, bowed and left.Immediately afterwards, Liu Yang said to Wang Yue with a sad expression: "Go and invite Uncle Fu Guo!"

"Yes!" Wang Yue responded in a low voice.

There is now only one uncle Fu Guo that Liu Yang is referring to. The current head of the Fu family is Fu Zhaoyuan.In the early years, Fu Zhaoyuan was sent to Anton by Liu Yang to command the army. When Anton was officially sealed, a large number of civil and military officials chose to leave Anton and return to the court. Fu Zhaoyuan was among them. After returning to Beijing, he was appointed as the palace supervisor.

It was estimated that it took more than half an hour before Fu Zhaoyuan was summoned in a hurry, with doubts on his face. When he saw Liu Yang's heavy expression, he became even more uneasy.Although he was a generation older than Liu Yang, Fu Zhaoyuan never treated him as a nephew, nor did he dare to. Instead, he carefully observed his ministerial integrity and always kept in mind that he was the prince of the Han Dynasty and a half-king.

At this time, in the palace, Liu Yang looked at his uncle who was only a few years older than him. His face showed a rare embarrassment. After some hesitation, he took out a letter and ordered Wang Yue to hand it to him: "Jiangling Secret Letter, you have a look!"

Fu Zhaoyuan was puzzled, but he really didn't dare to neglect it. When the results were shown in front of his eyes, his originally calm face immediately became unbearable: "How could it be like this! How could it be like this!"

The content of the letter, of course, was nothing more than the Hubei Navy smuggling case and the circumstances in which Fu Zhaoshou was implicated and executed.This news is undoubtedly bad news for Fu Zhaoyuan.

"How could he be so confused!"

Looking at Fu Zhaoyuan, who was in grief but trying to control his emotions, Liu Yang spoke after a short silence: "Your Majesty was executed immediately in Jiangling. I was beyond my reach to save my third uncle, and I didn't even have a chance to save him." …”

There was a hint of guilt in Liu Yang's tone. Fu Zhaoyuan felt it, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "It was his mediocrity and inappropriate behavior that caused the disaster. He deserves it!"

Watching Fu Zhaoyuan's reaction, Liu Yang raised his hand and stroked his forehead, and said solemnly: "Even so, we are blood relatives after all..."

Liu Yang looked uncomfortable, took a deep breath, and ordered: "I'll give you the leave. You go to Jiangling in person, take care of the funeral arrangements for your third uncle, and return home for burial!"

Hearing what Liu Yang said, Fu Zhaoyuan was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, suppressed his sadness and bowed down: "Thank you, Your Highness! However, when the incident happened in Jiangling, is it inappropriate for me to go there rashly?"

When Fu Zhaoyuan said this, Liu Yang suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked at him carefully, and then said calmly: "It doesn't matter! His Majesty killed people in Jiangling, and he killed them justly, for the sake of the world!"

"I understand!" Fu Zhaoyuan thought for a moment, then bowed and left.

When Fu Zhaoyuan left, Liu Yang still sat upright, thinking for a long time before letting out a long sigh.He was lamenting the death of Fu Zhaoshou, and also lamenting the changes in Fu Zhaoyuan. Uncle Guo, who once did not seem so smart, has now become deep-minded and even cunning. At least his doubts just now were expressed meaningfully. .

At the same time, Liu Yang couldn't help but think about it. If he were in Jiangling and faced the same situation, what choice would he make, whether to kill or not?
