In the blink of an eye, mid-December 3 of the Yuanshuo year (126 BC), the flowers had fallen, the wars were gone, and Wei Qing and Huo Qubing had already been in charge.

But at the beginning, Liu Che almost suppressed his sadness and rewarded the soldiers with a smile. Why couldn't Liu Che be happy is that the empress dowager passed away.

Before Han Anguo passed away, and later, the empress dowager left. Liu Che wanted to cry happily, but the emperor's identity imprisoned him. He could cry in tears after others, but he could not lose his composure in front of the ministers.

Half a year has passed since she passed away, but whenever she thinks of her, Liu Che's nose will feel sore and she will never forget it for a long time.

All the way,

Holding the world,

But lost his mother,

Since ascending the throne, there have been too many interests between him and his mother for so many years.

Born in the imperial family,

It is also a kind of sorrow.

How much he missed the days when he was having fun in his childhood, how much he thought about the topic between him and his mother, and never involves the court.

...

The emperor has been presided over two funerals for several months and all the ministers have seen it.

In this regard, Li Cai remembered Shanglinyuan's elephant training, and discussed with Zhang Tang, and submitted a memorial to Liu Che on the grounds of observing the elephant. Liu Che stood there for an hour while holding the memorial and finally agreed.

Li Cai and Zhang Tang were very happy when they received the notice and were very enthusiastic and attached great importance to the viewing.

For a long time, from the first day when the elephant training and parrot arrived in the capital, Li Cai kept discussing with the Shuiheng Duwei, asking the elephant training and bird training hands to teach elephant training and learn to worship, and teach parrots to learn to say words such as "welcome the emperor", "the emperor's sage", and "the queen's health".

In addition to the unpleasant separation of the first time when the elephant was observed, training elephant was useless. Li Cai paused for a few days, but soon after, he asked Shanglin Yuan to continue training again.

He believes,

Since the emperor likes it very much for the first time to watch it, there will always be a second viewing.

He bet right...

When everything was ready, Li Cai also asked Sima Tan to choose an auspicious day, allowing Liu Che and the Queen to watch the elephant training and parrot performance.

Although the view of the vision, one of the twenty-five views of Shanglinyuan, is called "Guan", it is actually built magnificently and is connected with other palaces and temples by a complex Tao.

Liu Che, Wei Zifu Chen Ajiao and the others, and all the officials, left the capital in a mighty manner yesterday, and entered the Vision View from the Fudao.

The commander of the Shuiheng Duke led the orders in the garden to welcome the emperor's arrival early in front of the temple.

As soon as I got off the sedan chair, I heard the cry of "Welcome to the Emperor" and "Welcome to the Queen" coming from my ears.

Clear, soft and beautiful, and particularly beautiful.

Li Cai hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Your Majesty, the parrots are welcoming you!"

"Ha! Parrotism?"

Liu Che and Wei Zifu came to a row of bird cages and carefully looked at the birds in the cages. It was indeed feathered jade, with bright eyes and very beautiful.

"I have heard that there are birds in the nine counties of the southern country, and people can speak. Now when I see it, it turns out that way."

He then wanted to pack sanban to add bird food to each cage, so the bird said another surprising thing in his mouth: "Thank you your Majesty! Thank you your Majesty for your kindness!"

Everyone was surprised.

When Liu Che and Chen Ajiao left, the bird said again: "Give me a visit to Your Majesty."

Liu Che's eyes turned and asked, "Is this bird born to speak?"

Li Cai followed closely and stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, this bird is born with intelligence. As long as it is tamed for a few days, it will be spoken."

Liu Che looked at Li Cai with a smile and said meaningfully: "This is really the world's greatest, and everything is strange!"

Seeing that Liu Che was in great interest, Li Cai hurriedly said, "There will be a singing elephant to play later, and he is very cute. Please let Your Majesty see it."

However, at this time, Zhang Tang, one of the "sponsors", did not come today, and he was busy sorting out the case.

Liu Che and Chen Ajiao sat in the stands. They looked down from a high place. In front of them was a large circular performance pool. Li Cai pointed to the door on the left side of the pool: "Your Majesty, let's enter the sight of the elephant later."

Liu Che nodded, and Li Cai became more and more frowning. When he saw Wei Qing's solemn look, he stopped talking and sat in his seat.

Wei Qing's unhappiness is always written on his face without any concealment...

From the moment he entered Guanxiang Temple, he didn't see a smile at all. Li Cai, as a minister of the current dynasty, did not assist the emperor in handling the government affairs, but made such foreign objects to please the emperor. What was his intention?

How much gold does it cost to observe a statue? Thinking about the prefect of Shanggu, Hao Xian, committed the crime of fraud for the shortage of military expenditure.

Fortunately, it's safe and sound.

If the emperor had not ordered him to accompany him a few days ago, Wei Qing would never have come to this place.

His absent-minded look had long been seen by the eldest princess. She secretly hit Wei Qing with her elbow and whispered: "What's wrong with your husband? Guanxiang is his majesty's rest during his administration. It is also a glory for his ministers to accompany him to watch. Why is his husband depressed?"

Wei Qing didn't reply to the eldest princess' words, but he still sat upright. He secretly looked at Wei Zifu behind Liu Che, and actually read the same state of mind from his sister's face.

Unlike Empress Chen, Li Yan and Liu Che who were delighted, Wei Zifu's brows were frowned and faintly displeased. She was very dissatisfied with Li Cai's flattery.

This Li Cai is even better than Gongsun Hong at that time.

Although Gongsun Hong never made any direct advice, he did not make these toys to please the emperor.

But as a concubine, what qualifications can she have to say? Wei Zifu shook his head and signaled Wei Qing not to do anything biased, and then kept staring at the performance venue below in a daze.

After Liu Che sat down for a while, the music was performed in the venue and he personally wrote "The Song of Bai Lin".

Liu Che listened very seriously. The music was very consistent with his mood at that time and now, and a comfortable expression began to appear on his face.

It seems that Li Cai, who was born after Gongsun Hong, deserves his reputation! Not to mention anything else, just arrange such a training performance properly, which shows that he is doing things without missing a single word.

Yes, he needs Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to expand his territory, and he also needs people like Li Cai to create a leisure and comfortable environment for him.

Loyal ministers and so-called slander ministers complement each other, which is a balanced existence...

Just as Liu Che has been emperor for a long time, he will gradually not reject people like Li Cai.

Any evil saying that makes the Lord confused is nonsense!

As long as the emperor is not useless or stupid, all this can be a helper for the empire.

Some things,

Not only those loyal ministers cannot do it, but even Liu Che cannot do it unscrupulously, but treacherous ministers can do it.

Where there is light, there must be darkness, which is nothing more than the question of who really gains the upper hand.

Liu Che gently twisted his beard and nodded with satisfaction. All of this, Li Cai, who was separated by Wei Qing, quickly knew that he was in his heart. He waved his hand down at the right time. The stadium immediately made a loud drum music. The five-headed trainer lined up in an orderly queue and walked into the performance venue with the drum beats.

The elephant slowly walked to the middle of the scene wearing silk and colorful silk, and stood on the table under the command of the elephant trainer.

The elephant trainer held a bamboo stick in his hand, touched the elephant's nose one by one, and shouted: "I wish you the dragon's body a blessing and longevity!"

The elephants closed their front hooves, stood upright with their hind legs, shook their noses, and their eyes shone brightly. The loyal and pious silly attitude attracted applause from the audience.

Liu Che was happy to see it and shouted, "Those who appreciate the elephant training will be rich!"
