I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 153 Give me another queen

Chapter 153 Give me another queen (please subscribe)
"The great general has a beloved daughter named Cheng Jun, who is in the age of Ji, as far as I know, she is still in her boudoir, gentle, courteous and thrifty..."

Yang Chang's beautiful words came out continuously, it seemed that Huo Chengjun was not Huo Guang's daughter, but Yang Chang's granddaughter.

Perhaps because he spoke too hastily, Yang Chang coughed violently again.

Seeing Yang Chang's hurried appearance, Liu De laughed in his heart, probably because of today's matter of choosing a concubine, Yang Chang must live a few months less.

I don't know how much Huo Guang opened up to Yang.

Unlike the candidate for Jieyu before, Liu De kept his lips tightly shut from beginning to end, without saying a word.

He knew that Huo Guang was determined to win the position of queen.

Especially after seeing Huo Guang's domineering behavior just now, he can see this matter more clearly.

The most important thing is that Liu De did not think of a suitable candidate because of the emergency.

If he forcibly opposes it, Liu De may not even be able to see the ceremony of the emperor's canonization of the queen.

After the court was over that day, Liu De had the consciousness to fight against Huo with his family, but although he was stubborn, he was a thousand-mile horse, not a stubborn bull, and he knew very well not to make fearless sacrifices.

If you stay in this upright position, you can do more things for the emperor.

Thinking of the emperor, Liu De couldn't help sighing, the emperor seemed so pitiful.

"Mr. Yang praised it absurdly. How can the little girl be able to enter the Jiaofang Palace? There is no need to mention this matter again."

"What's more, the county magistrate personally pointed out that I and the two of you should choose the queen, but in the end he chose the youngest girl as the queen. I'm afraid there is suspicion of nepotism, and I'm afraid it will be discussed by the world."

Yang Chang quickly said: "There is a saying in "Zuo Zhuan": You can't avoid enemies with external actions, and you can't avoid relatives with internal actions. This is the words of a sage, who dares to discuss it?"

This is the frightening thing about being familiar with the classics.

After Dong Zi proposed to "abolish all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone", the status of Confucian classics in the Han Empire increased day by day.

Big and small things are ever-changing, and naturally it is absolutely impossible to find the basis in those dozens of scriptures.

However, only by familiarizing yourself with the scriptures can you control the power to interpret the scriptures; if you control the power to understand the scriptures, you can control the right to speak, which is the embodiment of a sage.

Who dares to be an enemy of a saint?
Just like Yang Chang at the moment, this sentence in "Zuo Zhuan" was obviously used to explain "recommend talents", but it was used by him to establish the queen.

Invisibly, it provided a legal basis for Huo Guang's "raising relatives".

Sure enough, after Yang Chang finished speaking, Huo Guang didn't refuse any more, he caressed the desk with some complacency, as if he had already secured his victory.

In fact, it is true, Huo Guang has already secured the victory.

"Uncle Lu, do you have any objections to the old man's proposal?" Yang Chang asked Liu De provocatively.

"Since the prime minister and the general have already made a decision, the lower officials don't have much objection."

"Good, good, good!" Yang Chang said three good words in a row, then stood up tremblingly and said, "We have finally lived up to the trust of the county magistrate."

The candidate has been determined, and several people discussed the specific date of the emperor's wedding and canonization.

Liu De argued hard this time, using various reasons, such as Emperor Xiaozhao's grand visit not long ago, the hot summer is too hot to salute, the autumn harvest and busy farming should not disturb the people, and the son should change the Yuan first in the cold winter, etc., he pushed back and forth the ceremony of conferring the empress...

This time, Liu De tried his best, and finally forced Yang Chang and Huo Guang to set the official wedding date in February of the next year.

This is already the biggest disturbance that Liu De can cause to Huo Guang.

"Since this matter has been decided, it should be reported to the emperor as soon as possible..."

Before Yang Chang finished speaking, Liu De immediately recommended himself: "It's not too late, I'm willing to make this trip."

Huo Guang was taken aback, did Liu De change his temper and wanted to make friends with him?

"Okay, then Uncle Lu will report this matter to the county magistrate. Afterwards, the Shangshu Office will draft an edict to announce to the world to bring the Spring Festival, and then let the three Jieyu and the queen enter the palace, marry the emperor, and accept the county magistrate's official approval." Canonized." Huo Guang said.

"promise."

……

When Liu De came out of the Shangshu Office, he felt his mouth was dry.

Before I knew it, several hours had passed.

Liu De has been an official for more than ten years, from a humble official to Zongzheng, Liu De has never felt so tired.

However, Liu De felt it was worth it.

When Emperor Xiaozhao was in power, he was still young and couldn't do anything he wanted to do; but now, he wants to do something as much as possible.

Not only because he is a relative of the Liu family, but also because of His Majesty's "uncle".

Shouldn't it be the responsibility of the elders to shelter the children and nephews from the wind and rain?

Thinking of this, Liu De's fatigue became much lighter. He stomped his numb feet and walked towards Qingliang Hall in the east.

He wanted to go to Qingliang Hall immediately, on the one hand, he wanted to tell the emperor the result of today's discussion, and on the other hand, he wanted to take this opportunity to have a frank and honest talk with the emperor.

The Huo family above the court has already reached the point where it can no longer be left behind.

……

When Liu De rushed to Qingliang Hall, Liu He was standing at the entrance of the hall, looking out with his hands behind his back.

He knew that several people from Huo Guang would be discussing the selection of concubines at the Shangshu Office today. Although he had arranged for Liu De, he also knew that this would not change the overall situation.

Huo Guang was determined to send his daughter to the dragon bed, and no one could stop him.

It was nothing more than to see what benefits Liu De's "thousand-mile horse" could win for him.

And Liu He stood outside the hall, just wanting to see who would come to report this matter to him.

If it was Huo Guang, Liu He could call his father-in-law in advance; if it was Yang Chang, Liu He could scare him again;

After waiting for a long time, he finally saw who was coming, and Liu He's eyes lit up.

Liu De also saw the Son of Heaven at the gate of the palace from a distance, and hastened his pace to come to the Son of Heaven: "My humble minister, Liu De, greets His Majesty."

Liu He said with a smile: "Uncle, don't be too polite, please hurry up."

"Your Majesty, I can't bear the word uncle. Please don't bring it up again, Your Majesty." Liu De still said in panic.

"This is my edict, does uncle want to resist the edict?"

"This this……"

"Uncle is cautious and cautious, unlike some officials who were favored and arrogant before the big man, I am very pleased."

Hearing this sentence, Liu De suddenly raised his head, and looked at the emperor with a questioning look. Is the emperor hinting at himself?

However, Liu He didn't express anything, but only increased the strength in his hands, and then said, "How about this, when there is no one else, I will call you uncle; when there are people, you will still be the court's Zongzheng."

"This……"

"Huh? Uncle pushes left and blocks right, does he not regard himself as a member of the Liu family, or does he not regard me as a member of the Liu family?"

The son of heaven is the eldest son, and the eldest son is the embodiment of the ancestors in the world.

To deny the eldest son is to deny one's own ancestors.

Liu De no longer had any reason to refuse, and once again bowed in fear to thank him.

……

In the Qingliang Hall, there were fewer ice cubes than the previous few days, so it was a bit stuffy.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Qingliang Palace is too hot. We should prepare more ice cubes." Liu De said.

"Well, I'm the only one in the Qingliang Palace. I don't need so many ice cubes. I ordered them to remove them. Those ice cubes were sent to the bedroom of Lang Guan nearby. They need them more than I do."

Liu He spoke very calmly, as if this was a very normal thing, but it surprised Liu De again.

Why does the Son of Heaven seem to be different from when he was in Changyi Kingdom?
"Why does Uncle look at me like this, because he thinks that I'm a dissolute and rebellious person, and shouldn't do such a thing of loving the people like a child?"

"Wei, I'm rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty!" After finishing speaking, Liu De wanted to stand up and salute again.

"As I said, there is no need to be polite."

"Yes, yes..." Liu De wiped his sweat and sat back for a while. He found that the emperor seemed to have an ability to see through the world.

"Father Zhong, Uncle and other three gentlemen and nine ministers taught me well. I am much more sensible." Liu He said with a smile, a little jokingly.

But it is clear that everyone says that the emperor is insane and reckless - then there is only one possibility, the emperor is deliberately showing weakness, showing weakness to the general.

Thinking of this, the sweat on Liu De's forehead became more and more wiped.

Everything was seen by Liu He, but he remained calm.Since it is Liu De who is here, then Liu He will try his quality.

"Uncle, did you enter the palace today to discuss with Father Zhong and the prime minister about choosing a concubine to be a queen?"

"Exactly."

Liu He smiled wryly. His wife and concubines were settled down by several other men without even seeing him. This harem matter seemed meaningless.

"What was the result? Who did the Prime Minister and Father Zhong choose?"

Liu De didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately told what happened in the Shangshu Office one by one.

Of course, Liu De only selected important "information" to say, but he didn't mention the dissatisfaction in his heart at all.

Although the Son of Heaven was a little different from the past, when the Son of Heaven called Father Zhong he had a sincere heart, and Liu De didn't dare to take it too seriously until the moment he fully revealed it.

Of course Liu He didn't know these women, and the records about them in the history books were even blank.

But Liu He remembered the noble family behind them.

The harem is an extension of the court. If you can't get it in the court, you can't get it in the harem.

Liu De Neng forced Yang Chang and Huo Guang to get rid of Fan Mingyou, and also postponed the canonization ceremony for half a year, which is already very capable.

"Uncle, you have done a good job in this matter, I am very satisfied."
