I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 146 I went to the violence room to find an old friend (please subscribe)

"In a few days, you will go to Changle Palace and ask the Queen Mother for orders on my behalf, and see what the Queen Mother has for the holy birthday ceremony, whether you want to do it small or big."

Liu He thought for a while, and added another sentence: "When you go, you must make it clear to the Queen Mother that I have just ascended the throne and have no time to greet you. When I am free, I will definitely go to greet you in person."

The Empress Dowager Shangguan is an unstable factor.

Maybe it's because there are many things, or maybe he just wants to escape, but Liu He hasn't met his "mother" in the patriarchal system alone.

To be honest, Liu He was a little afraid of the Empress Dowager Shangguan.

In the original history, when King Changyi was abolished, the Empress Dowager Shangguan played a pivotal role, almost a sharp sword in Huo Guang's hand—even the decree of King Changyi was in the name of the Empress Dowager Shangguan proposed.

However, after some careful consideration, Liu He always felt that the Empress Dowager Shangguan would not be of one mind with Huo Guang.

Her father's family died at the hands of Huo Guang, her husband was controlled by Huo Guang, and her own life was destroyed at the hands of Huo Guang.

It is impossible for the Empress Dowager Shangguan not to have a trace of hatred for Huo Guang.

This trace of hatred is something that Liu He can use.

In order to be able to take advantage of this trace of hatred, in order to be able to secure the throne, Liu He must be a good son.

When the time is right, find a way to find common interests between yourself and the Queen Mother Shangguan, and form an ally.

The puppet emperor and the puppet queen seem to be able to wrestle with Huo Guang.

"If Your Majesty goes there in person, the effect will be better." Yu Wuyou asked without changing his expression.

It has been several months since Liu He became emperor, and it has also been several months since Yu Wuyou became an official of the Son of Heaven.

Yu Wuyou's renewed reverence for Liu He gradually faded away, and he returned to that "dare to admonish the emperor" appearance.

"Yu Qing, are you making fun of me? It's not like you don't know that the Empress Dowager Shangguan is younger than me. I can pretend to be a filial son in front of outsiders, but I still have a little bit of trouble when I call her mother queen face to face. I can't hold back that face."

"But your majesty can't always hide, you will have to meet the queen mother one day."

"It's only natural..." Liu He couldn't help having some headaches.

It seems that being an emperor is not only ruthless, but also thick-skinned.

"There are still a lot of things to do now. The matter of meeting the queen mother can be delayed for a day. In the near future, I will let you pass the voice for the time being."

"The servant understands."

At this time, it was time for lunch. After Fan Ke came in and asked about it, he brought in the lunch.

The cooks in the dining room had all been replaced by those who came from Changyi Kingdom, so Liu He finally had a familiar meal.

A few days ago, Liu He had just handed over a cookbook he had copied to the dining room, but he did not expect that there were several new dishes in the recipe that were served today.

Naturally, these new dishes are not as precious as bear's paw, deer lip and shark's fin, but they are more delicious and healthy.

Everything is easy to change, the taste of this diet is really not easy to change.

"Fan Ke, serve another serving. Yu Langzhong and I will eat together." The big man still implements a meal-sharing system, and each eats his own food. Although it is not lively enough, it is more clean and hygienic, and it will also reduce the spread of some diseases.

"only!"

Fan Ke withdrew and went to the dining room to bring a meal.

Along the way, Fan Ke kept muttering in his heart that His Majesty was too frugal. It was just some vegetables and beef and mutton fried together, which was not too meaty, let alone luxurious.

This kind of food is not as good as the food of the princes and kings, even the food eaten by the envoys in the Shaofu.

Fan Ke had doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, he just brought the food to Yu Wuyou respectfully.

"Yu Qing came to try new dishes, you don't have to be polite, just like in Changyi Palace."

"promise."

Then, the monarch and his ministers never spoke again, and they all buried their heads in eating, and the wind swept away, and all the food was swept away in just half a quarter of an hour.

Fan Ke stood on the side, dumbfounded, he really couldn't think of anything delicious about this strange meal.

However, it must be different for the emperor to enjoy it. I will go to the dining room later to see if there are any leftovers. I must try it secretly.

Satisfied with tea and food, Liu He did not take a comfortable "siesta" like before.

At that time, he was just an idle king, but now he is a big man with the world in his heart.

In this Weiyang Palace, he still has many things to do.

And right now, Liu He is about to do something that has been delayed for a long time.

"Fan Ke, I heard you mention before that your old grandmother worked in the violence room?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fan Ke was a little surprised, he didn't expect His Majesty to remember such trifles clearly.

"I want to go to the violence room, maybe you will lead the way?"

As soon as Yu Wuyou's expression changed, he immediately guessed what the emperor was going to do, and his expression sank unavoidably.

"Is Your Majesty going to the violence room?" Fan Ke asked.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"The violent room specializes in weaving and exposing to the sun in the palace. Now it is hot summer, and the smell of the dye is unpleasant, and..." Fan Ke hesitated before saying, "Moreover, there are many sick and guilty palace people detained in the violent room. , resentment over time, madness, I am afraid I will offend His Majesty."

In a few words, Fan Ke outlined the harsh and inhuman environment of the violent room.

When it came to the end, it seemed sad.

Fan Ke's old grandmother is also in this violent room, I'm afraid he is "talking about the situation".

"It's okay, where the common people can go, I can go too."

Seeing that dissuasion was ineffective, Fan Ke could only ask, "Do you want to pass the Ye Ting Order in advance?"

The violence room was under the jurisdiction of the Ye Ting Ling, who was a subordinate official under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, with a rank of six hundred stones, and was in charge of the sericulture female workers in the palace, washing and mending, weaving and dyeing, etc.

"No need, I have always been very interested in dyeing, weaving and spinning, and I just want to take a look at it."

"Wei, Xiao Nu understands."

After a while, Liu He came out from the Qingliang Hall, and those Changyi men who were guarding the corridor immediately separated into several to protect his surroundings.

These Chang Yi Langs are now wearing armor, with ring-shaped swords around their waists, and hats of fighting enemies on their heads. On the negative badges on their backs, there is a word Chang, which distinguishes them from Habayashi Lang and Qi Men Lang.

Although these Changyi Langs still looked immature, and even the beards on their lips hadn't grown hard yet, they already had the appearance of a martial artist with a serious look.

It seems that Gong Sui and that Jian Kou are not simple. In just a few months, these young men have undergone a transformation.

When the matter of canonizing the queen is settled, Liu He can take the opportunity to expand some Changyi Lang again—it's just that the matter of canonizing the queen should not come to fruition so quickly. Let's deal with Zhongfu for myself in the Shangshu office.

The things of the elders are left to the elders to do.

This junior, Liu He, has to be busy with the affairs of the junior——Liu He is about to start dealing with Liu's illness.

……

Weiyang Palace is divided into north and south, and east and west.

The area centered on Qianqian Hall, Greenhouse Hall, Xuanshi Hall, and Qingliang Hall is south; the area centered on Jiaofang Hall, Feixiang Hall, and Hehuan Hall is north.

One south and one north, vaguely dealt with separately by the emperor and the queen.

This is the pattern that Emperor Gao began to form. The emperor and the empress shared the honor and power of the Han Empire.

It's just that at this time, the emperor is getting stronger and stronger, and the queen is getting weaker and weaker.

Now, the candidate for the new empress has not been finalized, so Beiweiyang Palace seems a bit lonely.

In addition, it was noon in midsummer, and the guards and guards on duty in the corridors and halls were a little drowsy.

There are many trees planted in Weiyang Palace. Although they are not rare species, after several generations of gardeners' care and cultivation, many of them have grown into towering trees, casting shade on the corridors.

Seeing these giant trees with swaying branches and leaves casting dappled sunlight made Liu He feel much more comfortable in midsummer.

It's just that these thick and thick trees can grow so tall. I don't know if they have been nourished by the flesh and blood of many people. I don't know if there are dead bodies buried in their roots.

The cicadas on the tree kept barking. Although it added vitality to Weiyang Palace, it also seemed very noisy.

Liu He has been woken up by these bugs for several consecutive nights.

Hearing the movement of these bugs again at this moment, Liu He remembered a small matter.

"Yu Wuyou, there is a small matter for you to do."

"The minister listens to the imperial edict."

"Choose a few trustworthy and smart servants to be responsible for sticking these cicadas near the Qingliang Hall. I have been so noisy that I haven't been able to sleep peacefully for several days."

Cicada sticking is a game that children often play, and it has existed since ancient times.

"Zhuangzi Dasheng" recorded a story about cicadas.

It is said that Confucius passed through a forest on the way to Chu State, and saw a hunchbacked old man sticking cicadas with a long pole, as easily as picking up things.

And sticking cicadas is very easy, just need a long bamboo pole and a ball of tung oil glue.

"The humble minister receives the imperial edict."

"Well, remember to tell the Shaofu again to build a sticky pole room. When the orphans I adopted in Changyi Kingdom arrive, I will pick some more people to do this."

Yu Wuyou was puzzled as to why he had to build a sticky rod room, but he knew that what the emperor said meant something deep, so he didn't ask any further questions.

After walking for nearly two quarters of an hour, Liu He and Yu Wuyou came to the storm room located on the northeast side of Jiaofang Hall.
