Chapter 217 October Hajj
According to his own habits, Liu Che should have lived in Ganquan Palace when the autumn curtain kicked off, but this year he did not. He went to Xiliuying on the south bank of the Wei River.
After watching the cavalry battle drill, Liu Che was very happy and he reaped the results he wanted to see.
Compared with the time when I was reading the cavalry last fall, the Han army has a completely new look and has greatly improved in many aspects. Especially in the long-distance raid and archery skills, it is much different from the past and is no less than the Hun generals.
Liu Che felt that if this continues, the day to attack the Huns would be just around the corner.
Standing at the foot of the mountains, Liu Che looked up at the future. The road was close to him, very close. However, the only thing he regretted was that there was no news from Zhang Qian's team so far, and it was hard to find information.
As time goes by, whenever the sun is dusk, his mind will fly to the distant and mysterious West, looking at the slowly sinking sun, calling Zhang Qian's name over and over again in his heart...
However, after his son-in-law gave birth to Liu Ju, he would go to Yongshou Palace to pay tribute to the old Empress Dowager and say something else. He would always have some habitual actions, just to pick up some unrelated matters and ask the Empress Dowager for instructions.
In this regard, the Empress Dowager was willing to listen to her grandson's greetings and expressed great joy and joy. She always chose some words of encouragement to activate the atmosphere that would only be once every five or six days, because in addition, only the little girl Liu Ling would come to serve her, she was too lonely.
Generally speaking, Liu Che would always go with the queen, so the old man would hold their hands and wish them a loving couple.
After the agreement with the Empress Dowager was successful, Liu Che gradually began to feel that the old man was not as paranoid as he imagined, and he was unrealistic. On the contrary, she still felt happy to see that the Taoist influence was still quite large, and the hundreds of schools of thought were so lively that she would still be happy.
But the Queen Mother and Prince vaguely felt this extremely peaceful atmosphere, and something seemed to be hidden behind it. Is the Queen Mother really really trying to live a life of her life? Is she really no interest in the government?
But she seemed to have forgotten that the Empress Dowager had long lost the initiative.
This kind of thing should not be speculated randomly. It is related to the national system, so she could only constantly remind Liu Che to be cautious in his work and never be careless and leave behind any mistakes.
But what about Liu Che? Obviously, if he doesn't see this way, he will even feel that his mother's advice is a bit too much. He still, as always, concentrates on promoting his great cause of gratitude.
In a blink of an eye, October of the second year of Jianyuan, which was the time for various princes to meet, and it was also the most grand ceremony since the founding of the Han Dynasty.
In addition to the various counties and states who want to offer tribute to the court as required, this year there is another important content, which is to invite Gongsun Hong, a doctor from Taichang Temple to tell Confucian classics.
The doors and windows of the Mingtang are open to all sides, with the main doors open out, and are surrounded by princes and officials who come to pay homage from various counties and states and from various government offices in the capital. The speaker Gongsun Hong sat in the center, and his extensive quotations were circulating, making everyone feel intoxicated and deeply aware of the content.
After the talk, everyone still has the charm.
Seeing this grand occasion, Liu Che naturally showed his master's grandeur, chatting and laughing with everyone, laughing constantly.
Liu An naturally came too, but he did not rush to meet Liu Che in private after the banquet, but went to find Tian Fu.
Under the pressure of the empress dowager, Liu Che finally gave the position of Taichang among the nine ministers of Tian Feng. There is no way out. Who said that Liu Che is a filial son and still shouts about filial integrity every day?
What content made them so speculative? Dou Ying couldn't figure it out, so she frowned and stared at the figure in front of her.
Recently, there have been constant rumors in my ears, and it is rumored that Tian Fu has greatly criticized his behavior and political style on various occasions.
He said that he was able to be the Grand Marshal was nothing more than the power of the Empress Dowager. He said that he regarded his ministers as political enemies and would want to leave them alone before he could. He said that he was arrogant, narrow-minded, formed a clique for personal gain, and blinded His Majesty, and made Tian Fu respect his wish for a long time and was valued by His Majesty as he wished and received the position of Taichang.
Dou Ying thought he had always been open and open, and had never had any crimes, and was not afraid of these slander. But what made him most uneasy was that Tian Feng knew that Liu An coveted the court, held the land and respected his own country, and obeyed His Majesty's edict, so why did he still follow and flatter him?
After all, Tian Fu is not only the emperor's uncle, but also a great scholar who is familiar with classics. He should be wholeheartedly assisting the emperor in implementing new policies and orders, and should also work together with him, right?
But it depends on his style, pursuit of profit and fame, and being greedy, what can be commensurate with Taichang's dignity? Compared with Taichang Yuan Ang in the past, his demeanor and loyalty are simply a difference.
A few days ago, he wanted to have a deep conversation with Tian Fu based on his words and deeds, but whenever he talked about his shortcomings, Tian Fu always talked about his affairs, and seemed to have no intention of talking to him. Tian Fu was also the queen mother's confidant, and Dou Ying had no choice.
...
The time for talking about scriptures and reciting Taoism was not very long. Except for Liu De who was invited by Liu Che to stay for half a month, all the other princes left in a few days.
The front hall of Ganquan Palace,
Liu Che and Dou Ying sat on the steps of the hall.
Talk about the distribution of government orders in daily life,
This is very special,
But Dou Ying has long been used to it.
He has also ruled the army and went to the battlefield. His generousness as a general is also part of his inner imprint.
"The king of Yan Liu Dingguo, King Zhao, King Qi, and King Liu An of Huainan jointly wrote a letter to refuse to be recommended, which is a bit troublesome.
However, His Majesty communicated with their non-primary descendants and turned this into internal kinship conflicts, which would make them self-defeating and unable to become a climate!" Dou Ying suggested to Liu Che.
It seemed that Dou Ying understood what he said, and Liu Che smiled, "That's true. Even if they see some signs, it's useless. You should do whatever you want."
"His Majesty has you paid attention to Taichang's actions recently?"
He glanced at Dou Ying, and Liu Che smiled and said, "Why, the Grand Marshal was stimulated by my uncle?"
After a embarrassed smile, Dou Ying felt embarrassed, "It's no big deal. It's just that Your Majesty has to care about his secret contact with the King of Huainan. I suspect that there is some collusion between them!"
"I remember Dou Qing's words in my heart!" Liu Che said with a smile.
