Emperor Liu Hong

135 The Empress Dowager Calls

In order to completely put little loli in his own bowl, Liu Hong concealed his identity and took little loli to play around all day long in order to increase his relationship.Of course, if possible, he would prefer to do something else.But with his small body, he didn't have enough capital at all, even if he wanted to do something else, he was powerless.

On this day, Liu Hong took little Lolita to see the goldfish.Not long after he came back, his mother, Empress Dowager Dong (actually Liu Hong is not married, and her current title is still queen, to save trouble, she is called the queen mother directly.) sent someone to call him, and asked him to go to Yongle Palace.

"What on earth is it that you want me to go to her bedroom to talk about?" Liu Hong was very curious, because Empress Dowager Dong rarely looked for him. Over the years, the number of times their mother and son met was only a handful, and now they sent someone to invite him He went to the bedroom, which is a rare thing.

Out of incomparable curiosity, Liu Hong came to Yongle Palace.It was discovered that not only the Empress Dowager Dong was in the Yongle Palace, but also his uncle Dong Chong was also in the Yongle Palace.

Seeing Liu Hong coming, Dong Chong hurriedly saluted Liu Hong.Although he is Liu Hong's uncle, he is a generation older than Liu Hong, but Liu Hong is the emperor, and secular etiquette does not apply.

"Uncle, we are all one family, so there is no need to be polite." Liu Hong helped Dong Chong up, and asked Empress Dowager Dong, "Queen Mother, I don't know why you called the child here?"

"Oh, it's not because of your uncle." Empress Dowager Dong sighed and said, "Hong'er, your uncle is old and has nothing serious to do. You think of a way."

After hearing this, Liu Hong's heart sank.Historically, as soon as Empress Dowager Dong entered the palace, she sent someone to summon her elder brother Dong Chong, and made him a Jinwu.Now there are a lot of deviations from history. Liu Hong originally thought that Empress Dowager Dong would not call her brother to Beijing again. Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Dong still brought up this matter.

Now, there is a problem for Liu Hong. If Dong Chong is arranged, don't say that he has carried out the reform of the official system. The appointment of officials must follow the system. If he makes an exception, it will bring great harm to the reform.Even Dong Chong himself is not a smart person, if he is used by others, he will definitely not benefit.After all, in history, Dong Chong was imprisoned and executed by falsely spreading the will of the Queen Mother Dong.It is very telling that an uncle of the country was executed for such a thing.

But if you don't place him, it won't make sense.Don't say that Dong Chong is also his close relative, just say that the Empress Dowager Dong has never asked him to do anything, this is the first time, if he refuses to agree, it would be a bit unreasonable.

"Uncle, what do you want to do?" The matter has come to this point, first ask Dong Chong what he thinks.

"Your Majesty, I can do anything, just watch the arrangement."

"You don't pick anything." However, the more Dong Chong said that, the more difficult Liu Hong was, and this is a typical case of relying on him.

"Uncle, you must at least have a general direction, otherwise how would you tell me to arrange you?"

After hearing Liu Hong's words, Dong Chong faltered and said nothing.Empress Dowager Dong couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Hong'er, from ancient times to the present, being an official is the right way. See if you can arrange an official position for your uncle."

"Empress Mother, it's not difficult to arrange an official position, but I don't know Uncle's ambitions, so what position do you ask Erchen to arrange for him?"

"Hong'er, we are all one family, don't talk about those falsehoods, the official position is not a matter of your words. You can arrange an official position for your uncle, as long as you don't lose face."

As soon as Liu Hong heard this, he knew that Empress Dowager Dong was about to start being unreasonable.But this is also understandable, Chinese people value family affection, Dong Chong is her elder brother, Empress Dowager Dong can't sit idly by anyway.

Seeing Empress Dowager Dong like this, Liu Hong simply opened up and said.

"Queen mother, I didn't come here for nothing. This issue is very important." After speaking, Liu Hong explained to him, "If uncle just wants to gain face and become rich, this is a good arrangement. Anyway, uncle is my mother." It is absolutely right for your close relatives to have a noble status and enjoy a rich life."

After hearing this, Queen Mother Dong nodded.

"But if uncle's ambition is lofty, then it's really hard for me to make arrangements."

"Why is that? Your uncle has lofty ambitions. That should be a good thing. Why can't you arrange it?" Although the question was asked by the Empress Dowager Dong, Dong Chong was also extremely curious, and listened with pricked ears.

"Mother, you also know that the son-in-law reformed the official system some time ago. The appointment of officials must follow the system. It is not impossible to make an exception, but if an exception is made, it will have a great impact on the reform. If uncle's ambition is high, It's impossible to go to those idle jobs, but those important official positions attract too many people, if I just put my uncle in, my reform..."

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Dong was also in trouble.Of course she hoped that his brother had high ambitions, after all, no one wanted their relatives to be fools.But Liu Hong's words are also very reasonable. One side is the elder brother and the other is the son. Empress Dowager Dong doesn't know what to do at once.

It is absolutely impossible for a person like Dong Chong to possess lofty ambitions.But Dong Chong was very envious of the arrogant appearance of his relatives in the past.Now that Liu Hong is not married, he is the most authentic relative. Of course, he wants to emulate those senior relatives.So he ran to the palace and asked Empress Dowager Dong to help arrange it.

Seeing Dong Chong's expression, Liu Hong knew what score he was playing.He felt that it was necessary to sound the alarm for Dong Chong in advance, otherwise, he would end up with a different head as in history, and his face would not be good.

"Mother, to put it bluntly, I really don't want my uncle to be a person with great ambitions, so that he won't be able to reach a high position." Liu Hong ignored the surprised eyes of Queen Mother Dong and continued: "Mother, I am so arrogant." I said, it was definitely for my uncle's consideration. If you don't believe me, just look at what happened to those relatives in high positions, and you will know why I said that."

It's not like I don't know, but I'm shocked, no matter how majestic and prestigious the relatives in power are, they will not escape the end of death and family extermination in the end.

After Dong Chong heard this, he immediately fought a cold war.Although he wasn't too smart, he wasn't a fool either, and he could clearly hear Liu Hong's beating.If he still wants to hold power in his hands, the fate of those relatives will be his example.

"Your Majesty, don't be embarrassed. Uncle, I am not someone with great ambitions. As long as I can enjoy wealth and honor, I will be content."

"If my uncle only wants to be rich, there is absolutely no need to enter the officialdom. After all, after the reform, the officialdom is very different from before, and there is no big money at all."

"Oh, uncle, what am I going to do if I don't enter the officialdom?" Dong Chong was extremely curious about this.
