Chapter 5067 Liu Xu is in trouble


Chapter 5067 Liu Yu was in a dilemma

Before dawn, Chengtian Gate had just opened, Liu Yu went straight into the palace and arrived at the Secretariat's official party. The eunuch had opened the doors and windows and started sprinkling water and sweeping the floor, and carefully used a rag to clean the table and chairs. Wipe it carefully and then lit the stove in the side hall with boiling water.

The morning light in the east appears slightly, and looking from the stacked roof of the palace, the whiteness of the fish belly spreads into the sky.

The grass leaves under the stone steps in front of the door are stained with dew and crystal clear.

When I arrived at the duty room, sat down, drank a cup of tea, and started to read today's official documents, officials and clerks had arrived one after another.

Pei Xizai, the left chief of the Shangshu, came to work, stepped into the official hall with his front feet, and was told by the clerk that the Secretary of the Central Secretariat were summoned by the clerk, and hurried to the Central Secretariat's office and knocked on the door to enter.

"The lower official has met the Central Secretariat Order, but I wonder what instructions do you have to summon the lower official?"

Liu Shi put down his pen, raised his head, walked out of the desk, and signaled Pei Xizai to sit together. On the chair next to him, the clerk asked him to pour tea.

Then asked, "I heard that the Censorate is working on a large scale?"

The Left Chief of the Shangshu is the third leader of the Shangshu Province. He is under the left and right servants of the Shangshu Province, and is responsible for the daily routine of the Shangshu Province. The affairs were extremely powerful and had a great future. They were either gradually promoted to the Shangshu Province and the Shangshu Right Pushe, or they were released from the local government, and the Shangshu was the prefectural minister and the six ministries.

The two had a close relationship with each other, Pei Xizai smiled and said, "Where is a big construction? It's just that Yatai saw that a few big locust trees in the yard of the official yard were a bit annoying, and suspected that the feng shui of the Censor was not good, so he asked someone to give them the I dug out a big locust tree and found a few cypress trees from Zhongnan Mountain to transplant them. The cypress trees probably grew for hundreds of years and were very lush and difficult to transplant, so the movement was a little bit big."

Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed: "This Liu Tongshou is not good for the past year and his fortune is not smooth. He actually took his anger on several trees, which is really hilarious. It is said that cypress trees are planted in the Censorate during the Han Dynasty. , so I got the elegant name of "Baitai". This is to follow the ancients and cheer up again!" Pei Xizai also laughed, and leaned over to Liu Xi's side, whispering: "The original layout was rigorous and foolproof," , but was hit by the Duke of Yue with a backhand and hit the point. If it weren't for blocking the public opinion for Your Majesty, he would be resigning from office. How could he not sigh that he was not lucky? He made a big fuss for a few trees, and even made people laugh. I don't know what to say."

"Haha, Liu Tongshou is very cunning. Do you think he is so stupid?"

Liu Shi took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Since he is ridiculing himself in this way, He also showed that he would correct his mistakes and repent, and no one would let him do such a thing again in the future."

When scattering trees and planting trees, it seems that they don’t know what they mean, but in fact they will bring ridicule.

What does Your Majesty feel when he is a great censor and becomes a laughing stock among the government and the country?

It seems that a few cypress trees have been transplanted, but how could I know that it was not to use this to show my ambition - like the Han Dynasty censors, who are unfair and fearless of the powerful?

Pei Xizai thought about it carefully and said in admiration: "The Secretary of the Central Committee is smart and quick, observing in detail, but his subordinates are far from enough."

Liu Shi glanced at the other party with a smile. I didn't take this invisible compliment seriously.

No matter how good the personal relationship is, when the relationship between the two parties is at the top and the bottom, it is inevitable to follow certain rules in the officialdom...

Being having a happy chat, a clerk came: "Your Majesty sent someone an eunuch to summon him. You met in the imperial study room."

Pei Xizai then stood up and said goodbye: "The Secretary of the Central Committee requests the favor, and the officials will go to find someone to handle official duties."

Liu Qi nodded and waited until Pei Xizai left Afterwards, he sorted out his clothes and came out of the Secretariat's official office, and quickly walked to the imperial study room.

"Appoint Concubine Shen Jie as Zhaoyi?"

Faced with Li Chengqian's inquiry, Liu Xu was a little surprised.

Li Chengqian stood up after the imperial case, walked out with his hands behind his back, nodded and said, "Concubine Shen is pregnant, and it is very likely that he will give birth to a prince. Concubine third-rank may lose her identity. It is reasonable to enthrone the second-rank Zhaoyi."

Liu Shi was silent and his mind moved.

The rank of the harem is extremely strict, with clear distinction between the upper and lower levels. The queen is super-grade and dominating the harem. The lower level is the first rank and the second rank is the "concubine", which is considered the emperor's official wives and concubines, and has a famous title. The kind that can be buried with you after death, but the "Jieyu" will not be popular.

Generally speaking, even if Shen Jieyu is pregnant and upgraded her rank and was named Zhaoyi, she should have given birth to a prince. After all, the princess is not valuable, and it is almost impossible to "a mother is expensive by her daughter"...

So why is Your Majesty so anxious to enthrone Concubine Shen Jie? "Your Majesty clearly understands that the affairs of the harem are the family affairs of Your Majesty. Your Majesty can only make a decision. I dare not argue."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and greeted Liu Feng who sat in front of the window. On the chair, I sighed, "You and I belong to the monarch and ministers, but they are really brothers and sisters. I don't hide it from you. I have not had a strong qi and blood and my children have not been strong over the years, and I have long become a heart disease. Now Shen Jieyu is pregnant, which is really difficult. , naturally, he should improve his grade so that the child will be respected after his birth. Otherwise, he will have a low status compared to his cousins, how can I bear it? ”

Liu Shi suddenly realized.

It is an excuse to compare it with your cousin, but it is true that you compare it with the prince.

What can I do if a child born to a concubine, even if she is a prince? In front of the prince, he was like a slave, with no status at all.

Now the child has been given birth to a child, he will be promoted to Zhaoyi. So, will the child be given birth to a child directly promote Shen Jieyu to "Madam"?

Your Majesty's words were almost soft-hearted and had no emperor's majesty. This made him really difficult to refuse, so he had to reluctantly say: "Your Majesty is the king and the father. If you are in trouble, how can the minister sit down and watch? ? In this case, at the next meeting of the Political Affairs Hall, the minister will mention this matter and advise to promote Shen Jieyu to Zhaoyi. "

In theory, the affairs of the harem will not be under the jurisdiction of the previous dynasty. Your Majesty Foreign ministers have no right to interfere if they want to promote or dismiss whom they want to dismiss.

But as the saying goes, "The heavenly family has no selfless affairs", changes in the harem will also lead to turmoil in the previous dynasty, so the ministers will not ignore the affairs of the harem and let Your Majesty do whatever he wants.

After being promoted to Zhaoyi and then to the throne of concubine, this is a higher level and even more presumptuous. You can imagine whoever makes this suggestion will face public criticism from the government and the public, and make such a decision to cherish your own feathers Liu Shi was extremely difficult, but how could he bear to refuse in the face of His Majesty’s almost begging? So how can I refuse?

From out of the imperial study room, looking up at the sun climbing above my head, Liu Shi sighed softly, quickly returned to the official party of the Secretariat, and was kept alone In the room, I felt depressed and worried even when I was drinking tea.

It would be fine if the government and the public criticized it, but if it is regarded as a "prince" who has not yet been born in advance and betrays the queen and prince, wouldn't it be a ruthless thing?

Although he really doesn't want to see the future prince ascend the throne successfully.

Because that means Fang Jun is becoming more and more powerful and unstoppable. The entire Tang Dynasty will be controlled by the military, and civil servants will no longer be able to make their own voices and protect their own interests...< br>
It’s just that I know whether Shen Jieyu can give birth to a prince, and will His Majesty really depose the crown prince and establish another crown prince?

After a little irritated for a while, Liu Qi stood up and took off his official robe, changed into a regular dress, took two servants out of the official hall, went from Chengtianmen to the palace, and went straight to the Ministry of Personnel.

No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!

When he arrived at the Ministry of Personnel, he learned that Li Xiaogong had only come to Dao today, and then he reported his illness and returned to the mansion. Liu Qi rode out of the imperial city and headed straight for the palace of Hejian County.

The study room of the royal palace.

Li Xiaogong is a strong body, with wide robe and big sleeves. He sat on a chair as majestic as a mountain. Back then, he was not only a commander who planned and won a thousand miles, but also a powerful general holding a horse spear and charging into battle. But now he has fat from his waist and abdomen. , a forehead wiping her forehead, her whole face was depressed and pale. "The prince doesn't look very good. Did he find an imperial doctor to treat him?" Liu Wei showed concern.

Li Xiaogong rubbed his forehead and sighed, "I am old, and all the wounds left by the charge in previous years have recurred. The imperial doctor has no good means, so he can only recuperate and take more nourishment, and wait for death."< br>
The invincible general in the past is now in his twilight years, and he no longer sees the ambition of a hero, and only the decay is left, which inevitably makes people feel pity and sigh.

After talking for a while, and after drinking a few sips of tea, Li Xiaogong was a little excited and asked with a smile: "Zhongshuling is a rare guest. He would never come to me personally to comfort me, a dying person, right? What's the matter? You might as well say it bluntly, but my old bone is about to be buried, and few people will listen to what I said. "

"The prince is a hero and has made great achievements. It is actually the Dinghai Sword Needle of the Tang Dynasty. How could you be so arrogant? "

"Hehe! I'm just old and not confused yet. It will be a difficult task to try to deceive me with such sweet words. Otherwise, Zhongshuling would drink this Is it okay to go back with a cup of tea? I won’t be embarrassed if you tell me something difficult and I can’t do it.”

Liu Xun said quickly, "The emperor is sincere and sincere in his respect, and there is no false word." "Okay, okay, please say something quickly. I am not in good spirits, so I have to sleep for a while when I look back. .”

Li Xiaogong waved his hand and felt a little impatient, and took a sip of tea.

Liu Shi did not dare to neglect and said the conversation with His Majesty in the imperial study room just now. At the end, he said with a sad look on his face: "This matter is probably not that easy, and there must be a minister in the foreign court to oppose it. The prince has always had a lot of words and a strong prestige. If he could speak on behalf of the royal family, he would think more people would support His Majesty."

Li Xiaogong frowned and stared at Liu Wei for a long time before his expression was not kind. He said, "Does the Zhongshu Ling want to be killed?"

"There are things you dare not do?"

"And there are things you dare not do?"

Li Xiaogong snorted coldly and said angrily: "You dare to recommend promoting Shen Jieyu in the Political Affairs Hall today in the Political Affairs Hall today For Zhaoyi, tomorrow I will dare to draft an edict to depose the queen and enthrone the new queen, and tomorrow I will dare to depose the crown prince and establish a new crown prince! Liu Yu, you want to flatter Your Majesty and get favored by the imperial power. You will go by yourself, but I There is no grudge against you, why should I take me? "

Today, Liu Wei came to the door. If he agreed to his request, he would be faced with disasters from all over the government and the country; if he refused, it would be passed on to Your Majesty. His Majesty must be dissatisfied with his unwillingness to support him. Liu Wei took on a chore, but turned around and threw him into the pit. He was simply a son of humanity!
