Chapter 1475 The New Appointment of King Zhao
In Xijing in February, everything is completely new. Although it is not full of flowers, there are still flowers in bloom and catkins flying every now and then.As the weather warmed up, Emperor Liu stopped confining himself in Ziwei City, and started to go out again.

However, around Luoyang, the scenery of Mang Mountain has long been familiar to him. Although there are many scenic spots in the ancient capital of thousands of years, Emperor Liu has no interest in appreciating them. To him, traveling in mountains and rivers is always boring. In addition to satisfying a little bit of bad taste, there is no novelty to speak of.

If the journey is too far, the emperor will go on tour, and it will inevitably be laborious. Therefore, Emperor Liu just went in and out of the imperial city, wandered in Luoyang, watched the secular fireworks, saw the beauty of the capital, and listened to the gossip of the streets.

However, after seeing a lot, he also doesn’t find it novel. He is the supreme emperor, and the world is prosperous. To him, after all, it is just a kind of adjustment in the long and boring emperor’s career. Now it's hard to give him much satisfaction.

Facts have proved that after handing over the government affairs, as time went by, what Emperor Liu felt was only emptiness.At the beginning, when the government affairs were busy and sleepy at night, he only felt exhausted and exhausted. However, when he really let go, he found that it was impossible to really let go. How can Emperor Liu be the one who can really let go of his authority.

At least recently, Emperor Liu likes to carefully read the memorials and secrets submitted by the Zhengshitang, various ministries, Wude, and Huangcheng. develop.

And it is probably because they noticed these strange things about Emperor Liu. Whether it is the crown prince or Zhao Pu, the frequency of running to the Chuigong Palace is also high. Even if it is something that they can decide on their own within their authority, it is like Emperor Liu's report, which is a good name. Said that he followed His Majesty's suggestion, and Emperor Liu did show some pleasure in this regard.

Although the Xiyuan in Luoyang in early spring is not so lush, it is densely covered with greenery, where insects, birds and animals are moving, and under the spring breeze, it is also full of vitality.

Emperor Liu came to Xiyuan again, but this time, it was not for a serious open-air banquet, but for testing horses.

After the beginning of the new year, the Western Regions, Hexi, Shanyang, Liaodong and other places successively donated a batch of horses to Emperor Liu Jin, a total of more than [-] horses, all of which were extremely high-quality army horses, even including a few sweat horses .

The sun was shining, the spring breeze was blowing, everything in Xiyuan was full of beauty and hope, and Emperor Liu was also in a good mood.High-pitched and powerful neighing sounds filled the surroundings. The open and manicured green grassland was the best racetrack in Luoyang, and the sound of Xiong Jian's hooves showed more vitality.

Emperor Liu is also a person who loves horses. Of course, unlike generals who cherish good horses and regard war horses as comrades-in-arms, Emperor Liu loves the role of the main horse because it is the most powerful horse for galloping on the battlefield and conquering the world. ride.

It can be said that Emperor Liu Yuma is only regarded as a tool, and has no more special feelings.Of course, because of the relatively pure function of treating each other, Emperor Liu also paid more attention to the affairs of Ma Zheng.

Accompanying Emperor Liu to test the horses were mainly King Liu Fang of Zhao and King Liu Min of Wei. Call for companionship.

In the wilderness with undulating hills and ridges interspersed with forests and waters, Wei Wang Liu Min, dressed in military uniforms, drove a pure white horse to run wildly, entering and exiting dense forests, crossing streams, or leaping over hills. The elegant and heroic temperament has become an extremely beautiful scenery in Xiyuan.

Emperor Liu sat on the ground, sipping melons and fruits, and drinking health-preserving wine. The air was filled with the fragrance of green plants and trees, lazily enjoying the sunshine of spring, with a comfortable expression.Liu Fang also sat on the side, accompanied by Emperor Liu, with a smile on his lips, chatting with each other.

The 22-year-old Liu Fang is more mature, his face is more handsome and tough, his lips are densely covered with stubble, which is similar to that of Emperor Liu more than ten years ago, only thicker, but he can be faintly seen in every move The shadow of Emperor Liu.

Emperor Liu's genes are relatively strong, at least from the princes, you can see some of his youthful appearance.Of course, the one who most resembled Emperor Liu in appearance had to be the King of Qin, Liu Xu.

"Concubine Zhao is about to give birth!" Emperor Liu asked Liu Fang, inviting him a glass of wine.

Speaking of this, Liu Fang showed a rare smile, and replied, "I have seen the imperial doctor several times. If everything goes well, the childbirth should be in April!"

"Why, are you still a little embarrassed?" Emperor Liu smiled and joked, "This is not the demeanor of a great general of the Han Dynasty, and he is also a man who is going to be a father!"

Liu Fang showed a simple smile and said, "My son is also happy, but also a little nervous!"

"Being a father for the first time is inevitable. After experiencing it once, it will be fine!" Emperor Liu said with the attitude of someone who has come here, "It's been almost a year since I returned to Beijing. What do you think next, you three brothers, Now they are all serving the imperial court!"

"I will obey my father's arrangement!" Liu Fang cupped his hands without any hesitation.

"I'm not an unenlightened father. I don't want to hear your opinion. If I arrange a place where you don't like it, then you might blame me!" Emperor Liu said cheerfully.

Hearing this, Liu Fang shook his head again and again, and said solemnly: "My son will never do it. Father has ordered him to go to the volcano, to swim in the sea of ​​water, and he will do whatever he wants!"

Seeing his serious posture, Emperor Liu also waved his hand, and said with a light smile: "You, when did you become so serious, even rigid, you can't learn this from your elder brother! Tell me, you are always Someone with an idea!"

After being teased by Emperor Liu, Liu Fang also relaxed a little, thought seriously for a while, and then said: "If you think about it again, the elders are nothing more than military affairs, so you can only contribute to the big man and father on this road. strength!"

"You still want to go out and lead troops?" Emperor Liu asked immediately.

"It's been a long time since I've been out of the battlefield, and I really have something to do!" Liu Fang nodded and said, "It's just that now that the big Han and Siyi have surrendered, there is nothing wrong with them inside and outside, but there is no room for me to use my martial arts!"

"You're only half right. Over the past year, the imperial court has never done so little. As for the surrender of the barbarians, it is also based on the powerful force of the Han Dynasty. Military construction and even sending troops to fight need to be prepared at all times!" Emperor Liu said.

"My son is also always ready to obey father's orders!" Liu Fang got up and bowed his hands.

"Sit down! Sit down!" Emperor Liu beckoned to him, and said gently: "Why do we need so many courtiers between father and son! However, although the world has not yet reached the point where Ma Fang Nanshan is not yet, it is not easy Letting you, the prince and prince, go out, and moreover, let you go out to lead the army, suffering and suffering are secondary, I'm afraid it will make your mother worry again. Your mother understands the righteousness and will continue to support her, but it will inevitably hurt her!"

Hearing Emperor Liu's warm and affectionate words, Liu Fang also had a look of emotion on his face. After thinking for a while, he said, "I have heard that my father intends to guard the border with the prince, and my son is willing to guard the border and serve the country!"

Hearing Liu Fang's words suddenly, Emperor Liu's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked curiously, "Who did you hear this news from?"

"I just heard some rumors by chance!" Liu Fang paused, lowered his head slightly, and gave such an answer.

Emperor Liu looked away from Liu Fang, did not delve into the matter, but said meaningfully: "I have this idea, but it is not yet mature.

There are a dozen of you brothers, few of you will grow up, and even fewer of you will be able to pay a lot. Guarding the border is not an easy job, and it is not enough to just put you on the border. I still need to think carefully.And the pain of guarding the border is not something that all the princes who grew up in Miyagi and are used to seeing the prosperity of the capital can easily bear. "

Hearing this, Liu Fang hesitated for a moment, and solemnly said again: "I will listen to my father's arrangement! It is enough to relieve my father's worries and do my best for the country. Apart from that, I have nothing else to ask for!"

Hearing his almost reassuring tone, Emperor Liu's gaze returned to calm, and he became a little more strange. He sighed lightly, turned sideways and patted Liu Fang on the shoulder: "I am very moved and gratified to have your attitude like this!"

Emperor Liu's words also moved Liu Fang. How could he not know about Emperor Liu's careful training, and how could he not feel grateful.

Emperor Liu thought about it again, and then said: "In this way, let's put aside the matter of leading the army for the time being. Since you are good at military affairs, go to the Privy Council and be a deputy envoy of the Privy Council. You have served in the Ministry of War before, and you will continue to work in the Privy Council from now on." Give full play to your military talents! Compared with leading troops in battle, this privy military administration may be more challenging!"

Liu Fang was a little surprised by this arrangement, and said, "What about Privy Secretary Cao?"

Emperor Liu smiled lightly: "Did the official system of the Han Dynasty stipulate that there can only be one deputy envoy?"
