Chapter 945
"Your Majesty, this is the memorandum of Yuan Yao, the prefect of Xiajun. Xiajun has reclaimed a large area of ​​land and cultivated Yankang rice. He said that there is still a shortage of manpower, and there is still room for further cultivation. He hopes that the next time the soldiers will serve We arranged to carry out reclamation work outside the Great Wall." Sitting in the Hall of Houde, Liu Qu listened to Pang Tong explaining the memorials from various places to him. This was the first time Liu Qu dealt with the memorials from various places alone. Liu Qu was very excited to make the big man stronger.

"It's a table. Uh, it needs to be cultivated, right? Where are the original soldiers?"

"They are all being cultivated in Ningzhou."

"This", Liu Qu wanted to express his opinion. Although he didn't understand these things, when he was about to speak, his father's majestic face appeared in front of him, "A good king must be able to use The right person does not want to show how outstanding he is, otherwise, he is proficient in everything for the ruler and makes a decision for the world, but he fails to make the country better and the people rich. This is a son of heaven Your dereliction of duty!" Father said these words to him at this place in the past.

Liu Qu was silent for a moment, before he asked with a smile, "In Pang Linggong's opinion, what should we do?"

Pang Tong thought for a moment, and then said: "Dang Yun, the land outside the Great Wall is extremely important. Enemies outside the Great Han always come from outside the Great Wall. If you can turn the area outside the Great Wall into farmland, let the enemies all get off their horses and become farmers. When there will never be foreign troubles"

"Okay, let's do what Pang Linggong said! Just do it like this!", Liu Qu said, Pang Tong nodded, and picked up another playlist. Liu Qu always listened to Pang Tong's opinions, Pang Tong felt a little strange, but he didn't want to say much. After dealing with it for nearly half an hour, Liu Qu just stretched his waist and said, "Mr. Pang Ling, I'm a little tired. Go eat first, and then continue to deal with it when you come back." These things?"

"Your Majesty, these memorabilia have been piled up for a long time. There can be no further delay. The matter of the day is over. Your Majesty can go to eat, and the old minister will continue to watch." Pang Tong said helplessly, Liu Qu walked out of Houde Hall, After dinner, he chatted with the queen for a long time, remembering that Pang Tong hadn't eaten yet, he called Qi Yue again and said, "Pang Linggong is still in Houde Hall and hasn't eaten yet, you can send him some food."

Qi Yue looked in a bad complexion, his eyes were still dull, he was silent when he heard the emperor's order, Liu Qu finished his order, and was about to tell some interesting things with Wang Yuanji, seeing that Qi Yue hadn't left yet, Liu Qu was a little puzzled He asked, "Mr. Qi? Why don't you go? What's the matter?"

Qi Yue raised his head slowly, his face was still stained with tears, and he said, "I just miss the country a little bit. When the country was still there, he would never leave Houde Hall so early. , He was busy in the Hall of Houde, and after Fat Linggong left, he was still there, and he would eat with Pang Linggong." His voice was a little hoarse, but it made Liu Qu a little unhappy.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to persuade me to be diligent?? I will go to Houde Hall later, and I didn't say I won't go!"

Qi Yue shook her head, "When Your Highness ascends the throne, everything in the palace will calm down. This time, the maidservant came to ask His Highness for something."

For him calling himself His Highness, Liu Qu didn't feel any anger in his heart. This guy has been with my father all his life, and it's normal that he can't change his words in a short time. Besides, he even grew up under Qi Yue's care. Yes, for Qi Yue, he was still a little close in his heart, Liu Qu asked: "What's the matter with you, just say it."

"My servant implores Your Highness to allow Ling Baojun from the Yellow Gate in the East Palace to take over my servant's position."

"Oh?"

"Bao Jun has a pure nature, is loyal, and is diligent in doing things. He has been in the East Palace since he was a child, and His Highness can trust him."

"you want"

"In addition, my servant implores Your Highness to find a small burial place for my servant outside the entrance of the imperial mausoleum." Qi Yue said, bowing to Liu Qu before walking out. He was a little dazed and didn't react. It wasn't until Qi Yue walked out of the palace that he came to his senses. He jumped up and chased out of the palace. Just as he reached the door, he heard a cry of surprise, and another maid came... crying.

The exclamation came from Houde Hall. When Liu Qu rushed to the gate of Houde Hall not far away, he saw an astonishing scene. Kneeling in the direction of the Hall of Houde, their figures were strange, something was wrong, and Pang Tong also heard the movement, and had already walked out of the Hall of Houde, standing on the left side, looking at these people, frowning, Liu Qu ignored Blocked by Huangmen, he hurried forward.

"Old Qi." The words stopped suddenly, and Liu Qu saw the faces of these people clearly. They knelt down on the ground powerlessly, with blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, and their eyes widening. They were all dead. In front was Qi Yue, who was the leader. He also fell on the ground and was twitching. Judging from the blood on the ground, he was bleeding and insisted on walking here. Before he fell to the ground, Liu Qu took a stride Then he rushed to his side and easily helped Qi Yue up.

Qi Yue's mouth was still bleeding.

"Mr. Qi?! What are you doing?? Why?!"

"Your Highness, the country still needs...needs. We take it." Qi Yue still couldn't finish his sentence. While trembling violently, Qi Yue dropped his hands and died instantly. They had already taken the poison, Liu Qu saw Looking around, the eunuchs around were all those who had served my father before, they took poison, and came to the place that Emperor Xiaode was most familiar with, where they were buried by Emperor Xiaode, all of these are It gave Liu Qu a huge shock.

He had heard that when Emperor Xiaowen died, some of his servants chose to be buried for him and wanted to continue to serve the emperor after death, but Liu Qu didn't believe this at all. He felt that most of the Huangmen were afraid of being killed The new king asked the crime, it was just like this, and he would get a good reputation after death, but when he saw the eunuchs around him, he changed his mind, he didn't intend to liquidate these people, he felt that Qi Yue was in the palace, Can save yourself a lot of trouble.

But they still chose this path, what should they say?

Say they're stupid?Or are they loyal?
"Alas", Liu Qu sighed, and slowly put down Qi Yue in his arms, and looked at the people kneeling at the gate of Houde Hall, he was a little speechless, Liu Qu saw them like this Many times, these people always knelt and waited here every time my father handled the performances in the Hall of Houde. The yellow gates that Liu Qu couldn't name even brought old tools with them. Some are holding lanterns, some are holding fans.
Today, they are still here, waiting for their emperor to come out of Houde Hall tiredly. When their emperor comes out of Houde Hall tiredly, Qi Yue will come forward with a smile and tell Tianwo For all the affairs in the house, some Huangmen will go to support the emperor, and some will carry the lantern. Unfortunately, the emperor will never come out from there again, and Qi Yue and the others, likewise, will never get up to serve the emperor again .

"Give them a place outside the gate of my father's holy tomb and let them serve my father." Liu Qu said.

Pang Tong and Liu Qu sat in the Hall of Houde again. Liu Qu was still thinking about the things just now. Most of the things fell on Pang Tong. At the end, Liu Qu couldn't sit still anymore. If it is said that at the beginning, he was still a little curious, but after he and Pang Tong dealt with the performance table all day, the curiosity in his heart had disappeared, replacing this Curiosity is endless toil.

He has never been so tired, even if he marched with the commander of the South Army, he has never been so tired. Sitting in this hall, watching the performances one after another, listening to Pang Tong analyze for himself and explain the results of different responses, Liu Qu is really about to burst, how could he be so tired?Liu Qu never thought that reviewing the melodies would be such a tiring task. At this moment, when he thought of his father's busy day here in the past without eating or drinking, his eyes were filled with shock.

After showing infinite admiration for my father, I felt a deep fear in my heart. Could it be that in my whole life, I will also be like my father, sitting in this temple all day, busy every day and night?The joy brought by Liu Qu's ascension to the throne disappeared without a trace at this moment. Finally, he still couldn't hold on any longer. He stood up, looked at Pang Tong at the side, and said helplessly: "Mr. Pang Ling, let me go back and rest. Rest for a while, and do the rest tomorrow."

"If your majesty is tired, go and have a rest, and leave the rest to the ministers. If these things are delayed until tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to complete." Pang Tong said, there was no disappointment in his words, this is the first time your majesty Come to review the melodies, there is always a process of getting used to everything. Pang Tong is very happy that he can persist for so long. As for the other things, he can handle it himself. Anyway, today is the day when he made up his mind. It has always been Pang Tong, not Liu Qu.

When he left Houde Palace, Liu Qu didn't dare to raise his head. He felt a little ashamed. He seemed to be a deserter on the battlefield. He shouldn't have escaped. Thinking of this, when he returned to the harem, Wang Yuanji had already taken Ah Shi away. He fell asleep and was waiting for him. Seeing Liu Qu coming in with a tired body, Wang Yuanji hurried forward and took off his clothes for him. Then Liu Qu fell on the bed weakly. Wang Yuanji was about to say What, but heard the soft snoring, Liu Qu has fallen asleep.

In the Hall of Houde, the lights were still flickering, and Pang Tong was constantly reviewing the melodies. When he finished dealing with these, it was already midnight, he stood up, walked to the door, but turned around again, looking Looking at the empty Houde Hall.

"Your Majesty, you gave me a day off. Why did you take a long vacation?"
