Record of ups and downs in troubled times

"The subordinates are talking nonsense, Huang De is a fool, why do you believe him, Your Majesty... besides, although the old man Xu has excellent medical skills, it is impossible for the empress dowager to ask him to take the pulse in person. He may have heard it, so it is not enough to believe it? "

Zhou Zheng babbled, wondering if he had been so cautious all his life that he had lost his temper, or if he was just trying to comfort Liu Pu.

Anyway, from Zhou Zheng's eyes, the emperor is still just a child.

Liu Pu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled unpredictablely, but he didn't say anything to Zhou Zheng. Instead, with his hands behind his back, he straightened his waist and turned around towards the direction of Nuan Pavilion.He borrowed medicine to practice, and he was in his prime, so his health should be pretty good, but for some reason, maybe there was something wrong with the medicine that Old Man Xu had prepared?Liu Pu always felt pain in his waist, as if there were thousands of steel needles piercing his spine.Furthermore, Liu Pu, the more his back hurts, the more he wants to straighten his waist, and the more he likes to walk with his hands behind his back.

He is obviously a young man, but deep down he is old-fashioned.

The old attendant slumped habitually, sighed, and followed the emperor's footsteps to Changle Palace together.It looked like the emperor's waist was going to hurt for another night. The weather tonight was gloomy, with not even half a star. It was supposed to be snowing. If the snow fell and the emperor's body would be frozen, that would be too bad.

It would be better to start a few warmer stoves earlier.While walking with his sleeves rolled up, Zhou Zheng pondered carefully, thinking about how many heaters should be fired, when should he instruct his servants to add more charcoal fire, where should the stove be convenient and warm, and whether the emperor should have more winter clothes. Prepare a few...

On his side, he was scratching his head and worrying about the dragon's body upside down, but Liu Pu's side was really not as relaxed as it seemed on the surface.The reason why Liu Pu dared to say with certainty that the child in the empress dowager's womb belonged to Liu Yu, the king of Xiaoxiang, was not because of hearsay or random speculation, but because he saw it with his own eyes.

What I saw with my own eyes was not my pulse, nor was it the vomiting during pregnancy as rumored by those palace ladies.No matter how powerful the emperor was, he couldn't drag the child out of the empress dowager's womb to verify his identity, but seeing Liu Yu on the empress dowager's phoenix bed with his own eyes, isn't that enough?

Liu Pu closed his eyes and remembered the situation of that day again.

That was when he was thirteen or fourteen.

He grew up as slender and long as a bamboo stick since he was a child, and when he was not accompanied by guards and palace people, he was still a young boy who didn't attract much attention wherever he went.That day the Empress Dowager invited him to the Longevity Palace, but the little emperor was angry with his Empress Dowager for some reason, so he sneered and refused.

But although Liu Pu was tired and lazy in reading since he was a child, at least he learned some ancient rites from the old lecturers that are indelible, and besides, there is a second son of Tan who refuses to take a wrong step by his side. Staring at it, at night, the angry little emperor reluctantly went to the Longevity Palace.

This time, it was the wrong time.

The young boy was concerned about his face, and he didn't want to let the palace people know that he finally obeyed his mother's orders, so he crawled in from the low wall on the left side of the Longevity Palace with a cat body.It was summer, and the Longevity Palace was lush and full of trees. Liu Pu had some kung fu, and his steps were brisk, and he jumped into the side of the Longevity Palace's bedroom within a few steps.

Twilight has come, the Empress Dowager must stay in the bedroom.

The little emperor smoothed his hair messed up by the tree branches, picked out the grass leaves folded in his sleeves, kicked off the wall, and pulled the window sill close.

The summer is hot and the windows are wide open.

There was no one in the front hall of the huge bedroom, Liu Pu glanced around and landed lightly on the ground.

He was familiar with the way, and wandered into the Liangfeng Pavilion in the back hall. He planned to confess his mistake to his mother and get a punishment, but he didn't want to, but he saw something that he shouldn't have seen.

That's right, Wushan Yuyun is what you see, and you will go to the gentle town together.

At that time, King Xiaoxiang was a little thinner than now, but it was still a big pile of meat spread out on the couch.Liu Pu peeked out one eye from behind the screen, staring at this pile of white meat, his mind was filled with sticky and thick things like mud, and he couldn't even turn a corner.

The Empress Dowager and King Xiaoxiang have colluded in private for a long time. Even now, at least seven or eight years of Fengyue debts have been owed.

At first, Liu Pu naturally couldn't accept it.Liu Yu is the nephew of the old emperor, that is, the younger generation of the queen mother. If these two generations get mixed up, isn't it just a mess of ethics?And no matter how dissatisfied he was with his mother, it was his biological mother who gave birth to him and raised him. How could he bear his mother's entanglement with other men?

However, later on, after observing many things with cold eyes, he only felt that the Queen Mother was also pitiful.

A woman's family wants to protect her son from being usurped by others. She doesn't know how much effort and fear she will have to bear in secret.

In the final analysis, those important ministers and veterans who were dissatisfied with the young man's high position acquiesced to the prince and grandson who should inherit the position of emperor, and there were no more than two choices: one was Yingchuan King Liu Ning, and the other was Xiaoxiang King Liu Yu.

Needless to say, the king of Yingchuan, when King Chenghuai passed away, he left behind a secret seal of the general, sealing Liu Ning to the area of ​​Yingchuan where "he would rather be an old farmer than a prime minister" in advance. All possible thoughts of aspiring to the Central Plains; and the fiefdoms of King Xiang's lineage have been continuously added since the old King Xiang, and none of the three consecutive emperors dared to seal all these fiefs in one place, lest they would gather into a lawless prince In this way, King Xiang's territory is spread all over the world.

All over the world is not scary, they are all small places, so they are easy to clean up.But the elder brother of the old King Xiang, who was used to defeating his family, was so sad that his precious brother was assassinated in front of the palace gate. With a swipe of a pen, he allocated three more southern eighteen counties to his family as compensation.

Three would be three. The south is sparsely populated and full of poisonous miasma. It's not a good place to get rich.But the bad thing is that in the fief that the old King Xiang got before, there happened to be two lands in the south. It can't be a big climate. Now that the land seal order is made like this, it happens to be connected into a line.

This line has a more famous sign, which is the two large canals built by Ji Kingdom before.

Connecting the southeast and northwest corners, and crossing the southern region, it is one of the most important hubs connecting the southern border.Back then, Ji Kingdom relied on this canal to forcibly create a prosperous and prosperous world for more than a hundred years in the southern border where the conditions were not very favorable.

If it weren't for the rare locust plague and drought that swept through the central area along the canal together that year, making this hub belt out of control, I am afraid that Emperor Wen of Chao Dynasty would not be able to lead his troops into the capital of Ji Kingdom, and he would not dare to pat his chest. It is probably unknown who will get a piece of beautiful rivers and mountains.

It's just that the owner of this canal has gone round and round, and now it has fallen into the hands of King Xiang's lineage.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if King Xiang rebels, even if the matter fails, as long as he retreats to the south, it will not be a problem to restore the great cause of the country. In the hands of King Xiang.In this case, instead of waiting for others to rebel, it is better to be sensible, drive Liu Pu, a child who is not of much use, from the throne, and obediently hand over to Liu Yu's refreshment.

Under such an undercurrent, if the Queen Mother hadn't committed herself to King Xiang, how could the peace and stability of these years be exchanged?In fact, what Liu Pu should be most grateful for for being able to sit in this position until today is his mother, who has always been at odds with him politically.

One or two palace officials followed by the emperor stopped for a while beside the epiphyllum table in the small main hall of the Nuan Pavilion, staring at the cup of tea on the table like an old monk in meditation.It was only when there was the sound of falling snow in the silence that everything came, that he regained his senses.

It's snowing.

The fire in the house is very strong, and the smoked people's foreheads are dizzy.

Liu Pu found this excuse to cover up his momentary absence.He stood up dizzily, intending to sleep on the couch, but suddenly saw a closed window, and then walked over to open it dizzily.

The cool air came rushing in, and a few pieces of flimsy flying snow particles adorned the hair of the person in front of the window, which made Liu Pu shudder, and suddenly woke up as if he was alive.

It doesn't matter whether it's spring or summer, or autumn or winter, windows must be opened. This is still the rule of Tan Er when he was there.If he was still here, there would be more stoves, and neither of them would have to bother to go outside. It would be very interesting to sit around the stove and enjoy the snow while sitting in the room.

He thought of the usual scene of the two playing chess by the fireside, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth; thinking about why Tan Er got used to such a problem, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

The army is no better than the imperial palace. Although Tan Er has the ambition to join the army since he was a child, he has never experienced in the army.Does anyone keep those little hobbies of his in mind?This person's stubborn temper in twos and threes, has anyone ever tolerated and advised him?

Tsk... why are you still worried about others?Didn't Qin Changyun follow him?This woman is gentle and considerate, isn't it more appropriate to take care of someone than a man like you?You are alone here, miserable and miserable, and the two of them don't know what kind of concubine, secret love, gluey, sweet...

The emperor's mung bean-sized heart immediately became uncomfortable, and he held back his stomach full of anger like a suffocation.

The emperor, who had no one to hurt, was furious in secret. There was no one to vent his anger, so he simply tore off the binocular fish tied to the window lattice, and held it in the palm of his hand.

Binocular fish is half jade and half wood, which is quite strange and cute.

The other half of the fish made of jade was stuffed in Yan Gui's luggage by him that day. I don't know if that guy saw it.He also made a new knot on purpose so that it would be convenient for Yan Gui to hang it on the hilt of his sword, but he didn't know whether he tied it or not.

Is it more likely that it didn't hang up after all?This is the first time Liu Pu made such a delicate object by himself. He practiced hard all night to make that ugly model. The knotted knots were twisted to nowhere, and it was almost impossible to see.Yan Gui is a person who can't tolerate ugliness in his eyes, so he definitely doesn't want to hang this ugly half-eyed fish on his sword.

Liu Pu held the binocular fish foolishly, let the window sash open wide, and lay back on the bed.

It's really not used to the lack of a person who warms the bed.
