Chapter 10 The tenth chapter is willing to use this body to suffer your pain

As Liu Xi grew up, the boy's naughty ability also gradually increased, and Jiao Fangdian was made a fuss by him. He asked the maids to roll up blankets to make a couch, and each of them carried one head, shaking and shaking, and it was really comfortable to sleep on, and he "giggled" happily. He tied a rope to the parrot's feet, and watched the parrot flap its wings and rush to the blue sky. Suddenly, he pulled the rope hard, and the parrot screamed and fell.Watching the parrot fly up and down, he laughed "haha". He began to pay attention to which court ladies were good-looking and which were not good-looking, and he only needed to serve him with good-looking ones, because he only liked all beautiful things, so that he would also become beautiful.

... In Xu Pingjun's eyes, Liu Xi's actions were nothing more than a naughty boy's mischief. Which boy in the countryside has not taken out a bird's nest and played with the chicks?I don't like to sleep on the couch, and I like to be rocked by the maid to sleep with a blanket. Although it is a headache, it is not a big deal. But Liu Xi's behavior fell into the eyes of those courtiers who had read poetry and books, but gradually caused panic. According to historical records, since he was a child King Zhou of Shang liked to be carried to sleep by court ladies; he liked beautiful court ladies and hated ugly ones; he liked to torture and kill animals...

People say that "three years old is old", Liu Shi's behavior made many courtiers fear and worry.Is Dahantianxia going to be delivered to such a person?If they don't pay attention now, will they become bigan who have their hearts ripped out one day in the future? When Liu Xun found out, the fear and worry in the court had become an uproar. More than a dozen officials wrote to ask Liu Xun to carefully consider the prince's affairs, including Liu Xun's trustworthy Jun Buyi.These officials persuaded that although the usual rule is to establish the eldest son, if there are sages, there is no shortage of things in history where the eldest son is established.

Facing these ministers, Liu Xun was full of helplessness.These ministers are not people who play power at all. They may be rigid and rigid, but they are ministers who truly believe in imperial power and are loyal to the Han Dynasty; they may not be the best pillars of talent, but they are the cornerstone of the stability of the Han Dynasty.He can use tricks, tricks, or even intimidation to resolve power ministers, jesters, traitors, and sycophants, but facing these ministers, he can't think of any way to resolve them.ignore it?Just a temporary solution.The old-fashioned stubbornness of these people would never let him ignore it, let alone Huo Guang; punishment?It will chill the hearts of loyal ministers; if there is no punishment, is it allowed to play?

Before more than a dozen memorials were sent, Huo Guang's people also began to submit the memorials one after another. If he didn't deal with it in time, it might become mandatory in the end. Jun Buyi wrote a letter for the second time, discussing that "the sage only uses it".Liu Xun looked at him who was talking eloquently, feeling extremely depressed, and wanted to pretend to be listening attentively, hoping to delay it a little longer.But Huo Guang obviously didn't intend to give him any more time to procrastinate, Da Si Nongtian Guangming knelt down and echoed Jun's memorial.Tian Guangming once urged Huo Guang and other ministers to abolish Liu He as a foolish ruler and elect him as a wise ruler. The "virtuous officials" who had been praised by Yukou came to know the "virtuous and yong" people again.

Other ministers also began to kneel down one after another, begging him to carefully consider the matter of appointing the crown prince. He looked at Zhang Anshi, Zhang Anshi lowered his head to avoid his gaze, Liu Xun sighed inwardly, and turned his gaze away. Liu Xun looked at the courtiers below who were still singing and kowtowing, thinking a little bit blankly, who said the emperor can do whatever he wants?People in this position, because they have too many scruples, not only cannot do whatever they want, but are restrained everywhere. Just as everyone was talking about the ancient allusions about abolishing the fool and establishing the virtuous, Meng Jue suddenly knelt down on the ground with a face full of self-reproach, and shouted: "I am guilty!"

Liu Xun's heart settled down in his "guilty" voice, and asked: "Aiqing has been an official since she entered the court, and she only heard of Aiqing's virtuous deeds, and never heard of any misconduct, why is she guilty? ?” Meng Jue kowtowed and said: "I am a teacher, but I teach my children wrongly. If I miss ordinary people, I will lose a pillar in the court at most, but if I miss the prince, it will bring disaster to the world. Not only is the minister guilty, but he also deserves to be punished." die." "How do you say that? I have studied the prince's homework with all the Qing family, and Aiqing taught it very well."

Jun didn't doubt that they all nodded.Liu Shi's performance in scriptures and poems is very outstanding. "One day I wanted to tell the prince the story of a virtuous king and a tyrant, and teach him to learn from a virtuous king and hate a tyrant. I first told him about a virtuous king, and then told him the story of King Zhou of Shang when he was a child, hoping that he would understand the kindness of his childhood. Evil will affect the virtuous and faint of the old age. I was halfway through the story, but before I had time to criticize King Zhou's actions, I suddenly felt unwell. I was afraid that I would offend His Highness, so I hurriedly asked to retreat. I thought I would continue to finish the story the next day. But I... I forgot, the story of King Zhou was only half told, and it was mixed with the story of the sage. Your Highness is still young and doesn't know how to tell the difference, so he will only do what he told you. Minister... ...You deserve death for your crimes!" Meng Jue kowtowed as she spoke.

Several ministers breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Liu Xi was not cruel by nature. Zhang Anshi knelt down, kowtowed and stated the good deeds of the prince, such as being courteous to ministers, respecting himself and others, and knowing to go to Changle Palace every day to pay respects to Shangguan, the empress dowager at a young age, how can people who behave like this have nature What about cruel people? As a father, Liu Xun praised Liu Xi for his gentle and honest performance in daily trivial matters. Jun Buyi and the others fell silent. Seeing this, Liu Xun thought about saying a few more polite words to put the matter aside for the time being.Unexpectedly, Tian Guangming refused. Although he no longer impeached the prince for his evil deeds, he pointed the finger at Meng Jue. Fortunately, I discovered it early this time, and I still have time to teach and correct the prince, but what about the next time? What will Taifu Meng forget? Will it be too late for me to make a big mistake when I find out? By then, my lord Ten thousand deaths is really not enough! I think it is really difficult for Mr. Meng to take up the position of the prince's teacher, so the emperor must punish Meng Jue severely for the sake of the country and the country, and choose another virtuous person."

Meng Jue is now waiting for the crime, so he can only kneel on the ground without saying a word, waiting for the verdict. Everyone thought that Meng Jue was Huo Guang's son-in-law, and Huo Guang would help him explain his crimes, but they didn't want Huo Guang to sit upright with his head down, as if he had nothing to do with him. Zhang He knelt down, Zhang Anshi hurriedly began to plead for Meng Jue before he could speak, but Tian Guangming's words were sharp, and this matter was Meng Jue's dereliction of duty, Zhang Anshi's voice of defense became weaker and weaker, and Tian Guangming He became more and more aggressive, as if Meng Jue's immortality was not enough to thank the world.

Liu Xun quickly took pictures of the Xialong case, stopped their quarrel, and issued a decree: "As the prince's teacher, Meng Jue failed to fulfill his duty of teaching, so he should have been severely punished. Since he has always restrained himself and kept his responsibilities, he will be lenient for the time being. , the court staff is forty. The staff will continue to be used in order to see the effect." Tian Guangming was still full of anger and injustice, but the emperor had issued a decree to approve his request to punish Meng Jue, so he couldn't say anything more, he could only kowtow and shout: "Your Majesty is holy!" The punishment of the court stick is to be beaten in front of civil and military officials. Compared with other punishments, the original purpose of the court stick is not to "punish", but to "humiliate".However, because Meng Jue's crimes were bad, the forty strokes of the court rod can be regarded as both "humiliating" and "punishing". All the officials stood quietly on the square in front of the hall, watching the execution.According to the provisions of the law, the inspector of ceremonies ordered men to bind Meng Jue's hands, take off his robe to the waist, and expose his back, and then ordered him to kneel facing the hall, and a specially trained strong man beat his back with a stick.The strong man took out a piece of flattened bamboo five feet long, one inch wide, and half an inch thick. After the supervisor of ceremonies gave an order, he hit it with all his strength. Ordinary people suffer from rod punishment, it is inevitable to cry out in pain, or look elsewhere to divert attention, so as to alleviate the pain.But Meng Jue looked calm and composed, with his eyes slightly closed, as if drinking tea, quietly feeling every pain. In the sound of "pa, pa", some people gloated and squinted their eyes to watch carefully, while others felt sad for the death of a rabbit, and the ups and downs of officialdom, although it is Meng Jue today, it is hard to guarantee that it will not be him in the future. After forty strokes of the cane, Meng Jue's back was bruised and bloody, but he was clean and unscathed.Qixi hurried over, untied the hemp rope that bound his hands, covered his clothes, and ordered someone to send him back to his home. When Meng Jue was sent back to the Meng Mansion, his mind was a little sluggish, and the people of the Meng Mansion immediately exploded when they saw him like this. When Xu Xianglan heard the news, she hurried over to visit, and when she saw the blood on Meng Jue's back, she burst into tears. Sanyue just kicked out a few crying maids, but she didn't expect another one to come now, but she didn't dare to blast this one, so she could only persuade softly: "Second madam, don't worry too much, the young master just suffered some physical injuries .” Xu Xianglan saw that Sanyue wanted to help Meng Jue take off her clothes, wiped her body, and applied medicine. While holding back crying, she stepped forward to help, but she was an ordinary woman, and she had never seen such a scene. , Seeing the skin on her back was ripped apart, she was startled suddenly, lost her strength, and hurt the wound. Meng Jue snorted slightly, her face turned pale, and she pushed Xu Xianglan away as soon as Sanyue, and woke up immediately. He smiled and said: "Madam, let's go out, these things are done by servants." Sanyue wondered while cleaning the wound.It's not surprising that ordinary people are tortured forty times with the cane, so it's not surprising that you have been injured like this, but you have practiced martial arts for many years, why didn't you use your internal energy to dissolve the force of the cane?It seemed as if he had actually received every stick. San Yue took out the secret medicine from the mansion, and was about to give it to Meng Jue, when Meng Jue smelled the fragrance of the medicine, she woke up a bit, and said in a low voice, "You don't need this." Sanyue thought that Meng Jue had better wound medicine, so she bent down to listen to the order, but Meng Jue closed her eyes and said, "Clean up the wound and bandage it." Sanyue was stunned, suspecting that she had heard it wrong, "Master? This time the injury is serious! Without medicine, the wound will heal slowly, and there will be scars. Even the pain is enough, but it will be tormented day and night... ..." Meng Jue opened her eyes and glanced at her, Sanyue's heart trembled, she immediately shut up, bit her lip, said: "Yes!" and threw the medicine aside. Because there was no medicine to relieve the pain, when bandaging the wound, Sanyue bit her lip until it bleeds, so that her hands could bandage the wound without shaking at all. After finishing everything, Sanyue asked in a low voice, "Master, is it hurting badly?" Meng Jue's expression was gloomy, and there were too many things that Sanyue couldn't understand in his eyes. After a long while, he closed his eyes without saying a word.After saluting silently in March, she exited the room. In the evening, Fuyu came to see Meng Jue with a bunch of supplements from the palace. He kowtowed to Meng Jue when they met. Meng Jue hurriedly ordered someone to drag him up. On behalf of His Highness, kowtow to your lord." Meng Jue said: "Go back and persuade the Empress not to blame Your Highness, let alone blame yourself." Fu Yu's eyes were a little red, "The emperor fired at the empress, and asked her how to be a mother? He even let his son learn from King Zhou. Although the emperor comforted and relieved the empress after his anger subsided, the empress felt that it was all her fault. No amount of persuasion by the servants will work." Meng Jue thought for a moment and said, "If it's convenient for you, you might as well invite Yun Ge into the palace to see the empress." Fuyu immediately responded and nodded. When Yunge entered the Jiaofang Hall, Xu Pingjun was wiping tears, and Liu Xi was punished to kneel in the corner, presumably he had been kneeling for a long time, the little man's face was pale and his body was shaking, but he still pursed his mouth stubbornly, He refused to tell his mother a word of begging for mercy. Yun Ge sat in front of Xu Pingjun, "Do you want to punish him to kneel all night?" Xu Pingjun's tears flowed even more urgently, "Actually, I should be punished to kneel down. It's because I didn't teach him well. When I saw his misbehavior, I just scolded him a few times, and didn't discipline him severely." Yun Ge beckoned Liu Xi to go over, "Hu'er, come to Auntie, Auntie has something to tell you." Liu Xi looked at his mother, Xu Pingjun glared at him and said, "Why do you know how to be obedient now? What did you do earlier?" Seeing his son's pale face, he finally couldn't bear it, and said in a cold voice, "Come here!" Liu Xi wanted to stand up, but his legs were already sore and numb. Fu Yu hurriedly bent over and half hugged and half supported him to bring him to Yun Ge's side.Yun Ge took him into her arms, rubbed his legs, and said with a smile: "Actually, my aunt also played with birds when she was young." Liu Xi glanced sideways at his mother, and hugged Yun Ge's arm, "Can aunt's mother punish aunt?" Yun Ge laughed: "My mother taught me how to catch birds. Do you think my mother will punish me? My father even caught two big eagles to play with me!" Liu Xi looked at Yun Ge enviously, "My aunt is so kind!" "By the way, how did you know how to play with birds?" "Your Majesty told..." Liu Xi shut his mouth abruptly.The empress in Zhaoyang Hall is his secret.His mother always forbade him to approach Zhaoyang Palace, but the more his mother forbade him, the more curious he became.What kind of monsters live in it?Can eat people?When he found that the person living in Zhaoyang Palace was not a monster, but a beautiful and gentle lady; not only did he not eat him, but often taught him many interesting things, he gradually fell in love with playing with the lady.The mother always forbids this and that, but the empress will smile gently and let him do whatever he wants.The empress said, this is a secret between them, he is a man, he will keep his promise, no one will tell! Xu Pingjun's complexion changed suddenly, Yun Ge winked at her, continued to smile and said: "Although sleeping in the blanket in the maid's pocket is very comfortable, aunt knows a more interesting way to sleep." Seeing that neither his mother nor his aunt had noticed his slip of the tongue, Liu Xi felt relieved and hurriedly asked Yun Ge, "What's the way? What's the way? Auntie, tell Hu'er quickly." "Actually, the lady knows this method, why didn't she tell you? I thought she told you already." Liu Xun pouted, "You're talking nonsense! Your Majesty likes Hu'er the most, so tell me any secrets!" Yun Ge shook his head, and said in disbelief: "But the empress really knows! If you don't believe me, you can ask her." "Okay! I'll go to Zhaoyang Hall to ask tomorrow." Xu Pingjun stared at his son, his face turned blue, and he wanted to hit her with his palm. Yun Ge pressed her hand, and told Fu Yu: "Take Your Highness down, soak him in hot water, and then rub his legs." As soon as the crown prince left the palace gate, Xu Pingjun cried and said, "Why are you stopping me? This rebellious son actually confessed to being a thief! How many times have I told him that he is not allowed to approach Zhaoyang Palace, but he didn't listen to a word. Look He defended her appearance, and even regarded his mother as an outsider! When his father scolded me today, he didn't say a word even though he was present. " Yun Ge said helplessly: "How can people forget what they were like when they grew up? Did you ever have to do something that your parents stopped you when you were young? Even the more your parents stop you, the more you want to do it." Do? Did my sister tell her parents everything when she was a child? Doesn’t my sister have her own secrets? Anyway, I do.” Xu Pingjun was stunned.How could she not?At that time, my mother tried her best to prevent her from looking for a doctor to play, but she always went secretly.Mother forbids her to bring red flowers, but she always puts a red flower in her braid as soon as she goes out, and secretly takes it off and hides it before entering the door. "It's impossible for my sister to prevent Hu'er from interacting with Huo Chengjun. They are all in Weiyang Palace. As long as Huo Chengjun is willing, there are opportunities everywhere. And the more my sister stops, the more Hu'er wants to get closer to Huo Chengjun." "Is there no other way?" "Yes! My sister told Hu'er about her grievances with Huo Chengjun. You are his mother. If he knows that this person is bullying his mother, no matter how good Huo Chengjun treats him, he will keep away from her." Xu Pingjun shook his head and disagreed, "He's still so young, how can he understand? Besides, I don't want him to know these filthy things so early." "Children are far more sensible than adults think. If you think about it carefully when you were a child, you may already understand the warmth and coldness of human beings at a very young age." Indeed, as Yun Ge said, when her mother thought she didn't understand anything, she already knew her mother's dislike for her. Even now, she still remembers the New Year's Day when she was three years old.My mother was cooking meat in the kitchen, and she and her brothers were outside on tiptoe waiting.After the meat was cooked, they happily ran into the kitchen. Mother divided the meat among several brothers' bowls, but only served her a bowl of soup.From then on, she never waited outside when her mother cooked meat.Xu Pingjun sighed, "Hu'er is different from me, he has so many loved ones who love him." Yun Ge said very seriously: "Sister, since you became a queen, he is no longer an ordinary child. He has the fate of many people attached to him. Let's not talk about Meng Jue and Zhang He, as long as there are many in the Xu family. People? All prosperity, all damage, if Hu'er... the Xu family will also..." Yun Ge sighed softly, "I understand what my sister is thinking, which mother doesn't want her children to be carefree and happy How about growing up happily? But Hu’er is destined not to grow up like ordinary children. The happiness and innocence of ordinary children will only become a weapon for others to harm him. environment." Xu Pingjun stared blankly at Yun Ge, and after a while, he said: "When I was pregnant with him, I thought that I would make up for him for everything I didn't have, and he would become the happiest child in the world. Why would that be?" How has it become like this?" Yun Ge held her hand, smiled slightly, but the smile was full of sadness, "Because he will be the emperor, God will give him the whole world, and take away his whole life at the same time." Xu Pingjun leaned on Yunge's shoulder, weeping silently. Yun Ge stuffed a silk handkerchief into her hand, "Sister, until Hu'er learns to protect himself, you are the only person he can rely on in Weiyang Palace." Xu Pingjun wiped away his tears, "Got it. I've shed too many tears recently, but I've done too little." Liu Shi seemed to have grown up in a few days, his eyes on people changed from curiosity to inquiry, and his demeanor had a stability that did not match his age.In the past, he always liked to run around in the palace, busy looking for secrets, Weiyang Palace with many houses is a big playground in his eyes; now he likes to avoid everyone, sit quietly in one place, and read a book silently , Tired of watching, I propped my chin and looked into the distance. What is he thinking between his small brows and eyes, no one can know.In the past, if Liu Xun didn't go to Jiaofang Palace to see him for a long time, he would go to see his father and play beside him. Sometimes it might be the Xuanshi Palace, sometimes it might be the palace of other ladies; now he always likes He took his father's hand and went to Jiaofang Hall, and asked his father to teach him this and that.In the past, he was respectful to Meng Jue, but not intimate, because Meng Jue never hugged him like other relatives and elders, and never made him laugh or play with him. Meng Jue just smiled gently, but the smile made him feel Now he has a kiss with Meng Jue Jingzhong, that kind of kiss is not a kiss that hugs each other's arms and laughs coquettishly, but an unreserved trust and admiration deep in his heart. "Xiao'er, why are you in a daze while holding a book? Why haven't you come to play with me for a long time?" Huo Chengjun sat opposite Liu Xi with a smile. Liu Shi felt that the bright autumn sun seemed to be completely covered.He stood up, bowed to Huo Chengjun, and said: "The homework assigned by the master is very heavy, and I have to do it every day." Huo Chengjun saw a few fallen leaves on his head, and stretched out his hand to pull him to his side and remove it for him, but Liu Xi suddenly took two steps back.After all, he was still young, and his actions finally revealed the emotions in his heart. Huo Chengjun's smile froze, he withdrew his hand with a smile, and stared at Liu Shi with estimation and review. Zhang Liangren and Grand Envoy Gongsun came to the Imperial Garden to relax together. Because they like quietness and wanted to talk alone, they chose a secluded place to walk. Unexpectedly, they saw Huo Jieyu and His Royal Highness sitting under the tree together, and it was too late to avoid it. She could only go forward to greet Huo Jieyu. Huo Jieyu smiled and glanced at Gongsun Changshi's slightly bulging abdomen, her heart felt like a needle prick, Liu Xun almost loved her, but her stomach didn't respond at all, Liu Xun only visited Gongsun Changshi once in a few months At the same time, she was pregnant. "Sit down! You don't have to follow so many rules if you have a body." Grand Envoy Gongsun stood awkwardly, not daring to sit down.There was disdain in Huo Chengjun's eyes, he looked sideways at Zhang Liangren, and ordered her to sit down with a smile, "Are you used to everything in the palace?" Because Zhang Liangren was born in a big family, he acted a little more gracefully. He smiled and helped Gongsun Changshi to sit down, and sat beside her, "I'm used to everything when I return to my mother, but I feel that I don't feel free at home." Saying that he laughed first. Huo Chengjun nodded with a smile, and talked with her about the old affairs in the boudoir. Ambassador Gongsun knew nothing about the pastimes of these noble ladies, and couldn't get in a word, so he could only sit quietly.She glanced at Liu Shi's abdomen from time to time, feeling a little embarrassed, and put her hands on her abdomen.Huo Chengjun asked Liu Shi with a smile: "I'm going to have a younger brother, is Your Highness happy?" Liu Shi stared at Minister Gongsun and asked, "Is that your younger brother?" Grand Envoy Gongsun replied with a smile: "I don't know. But I hope it's a girl, and I can dress her up beautifully to accompany me." Liu Xi suddenly became happy, "If my younger sister looks like your empress, she must be very beautiful. I will also take my younger sister to play." Grand Envoy Gongsun also laughed happily, "Thank you Your Highness for your kind words." Two nuns came over with food boxes, and after greeting all the ladies, they smiled and said to Zhang Liangren: "My lady really made it easy for us to find it! We found it after looking around the Imperial Garden." Zhang Liangren stood up and took the food box, "Here are some snacks I ordered the royal chef to make according to the recipe at home." A young eunuch also came to find him, and Liu Xi got up to leave.Huo Chengjun stopped him with a smile, "Let's have a few snacks together before going to study." Liu Xi replied: "My son is going back to do his homework." "Eating a few snacks won't delay your homework, come here quickly!" Zhang Liangren also laughed and said, "It's delicious, Your Highness, let's try it!" Liu Xi whispered to the eunuch: "Go to my master." After finishing speaking, he turned and went back. Zhang Liangren personally selected the best-looking piece of cake and handed it to Liu Xi. Liu Xi held the piece of cake without moving, and only watched Emissary Gongsun finish a piece of almond cake in a few bites. Gongsun Changshi was a little embarrassed, and explained with a smile, "I've become a bit picky lately. I ate two pieces of dim sum at Zhang Liangren's that day, and I couldn't forget it. So sister Zhang specially ordered the chef to make it for me." "It turns out that we are all under the honor of the ambassador." Huo Chengjun picked out a piece of peach cake and put it in his mouth, and then he seemed to give a piece to Zhang Liangren casually. Zhang Liangren wanted to get almond cake, but Huo Chengjun had already handed it to him. Can put down the one in his hand first, and took the peach cake with a smile. "Don't you like the dim sum in your hand? Then try something else." Huo Chengjun picked up a piece of almond cake and gave it to Liu Xie. After Liu Xie took it, he didn't eat it all the time. Huo Chengjun smiled and said, "Try it!" Grand Envoy Gongsun had just finished eating the second piece of almond cake, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, it's delicious." Liu Shi held the dim sum tightly, becoming more and more anxious. "His Royal Highness!" A cry full of reproach made him instantly relaxed.Liu Xi immediately dropped the snacks, rushed towards Meng Jue, stopped abruptly, and saluted respectfully: "Sir." Meng Jue looked displeased: "Have you finished your homework?" "not yet." "Then are you still playing here?" Zhang Liangren hurriedly apologized: "It's all my fault, Lord Meng, please don't punish His Highness." Meng Jue didn't say anything, and after saluting with a smile, he took Liu Xi by the hand to leave.Huo Chengjun looked at the backs of the two, and the peach cake in his hand was broken into several pieces. After the master and apprentice returned to Shiqu Pavilion, Meng Jue asked with a smile, "Who told you these things?" Meng Jue's words were endless, but Liu Xi understood it very well, and replied: "The Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager gave me cakes one day, and I ate them. The Empress Dowager was very upset and asked me to swear that no matter Whatever happens, you are not allowed to drink or eat anything that your mother gave you, and after I told my mother, she even embroidered a pair of shoes for the empress dowager." Meng Jue didn't seem too surprised. He nodded slightly and said, "Don't mention today's matter again. When you go to kowtow to the Empress Dowager tomorrow, remember to kowtow one more time." Liu Xi didn't understand Meng Jue's words, so he just said "hmm" casually, ran to the table, opened the bamboo slips and began to recite the book. In the middle of the night, when Liu Xun was sleeping soundly, he heard the noise outside, and hurriedly climbed to the window, only to see that the queen mother was hurriedly arranging her clothes, and a maid was kneeling outside the temple door, crying and playing: It’s fine, but in the middle of the night I suddenly complained of a stomachache, and now it’s bleeding profusely.” "Does the emperor know?" "The emperor is in the Zhaoyang Palace. The manager of the Zhaoyang Palace said that the emperor has rested, and the slaves are not allowed to enter the house to disturb them." The maid said and began to kowtow to the queen mother, "The slaves begged the empress to save the life of the empress, and the slaves are willing to be born as cows in the next life." To be a horse..." The empress mother interrupted her, "Hurry up and go back to guard the grand envoy, don't talk nonsense here." Then she said to Fu Yu: "I will pass on the order of my palace and order the imperial physician to enter the palace immediately. If anyone is negligent, I will punish him severely!" Fu Yu turned around and ordered the subordinates to declare the decree, but the queen mother said sternly, "Do it yourself!" Fuyu answered "Yes", spread his legs and ran out of Jiaofang Hall. After the mother gave all orders, she rushed to Yutang Hall with her people.The Jiaofang Hall became quiet, only a few night watch maids stood in front of the hall gate, whispering something. Liu Xun retreated to the couch and pulled up the quilt to cover his head. In the early morning, before his mother woke him up, he washed up and left the Jiaofang Hall.First go to Changle Palace to greet the Empress Dowager.Before the Empress Dowager got up, he kowtowed three times outside the hall, causing Cheng'er, who was already familiar with her, to cover her mouth and snicker, "Your Highness kowtowed so sincerely today!" He didn't reply with a smile as usual, he got up, ran to Shiqu Pavilion, opened the homework assigned to him by Meng Jue, and recited aloud, "The Master said: 'People who are not benevolent should not stay with each other for a long time, no The goodness is happy. The benevolent is safe with benevolence, and the knowledgeable is beneficial to benevolence." The Master said: "Only the benevolent can be good and evil." What one wants, one does not get it according to the way, and one does not get it. Poverty and lowliness are what people hate. If you violate benevolence in time, you will be wrong if you make mistakes, and you will be in trouble." The Master said: "I have never seen someone who loves benevolence and hates those who are not benevolent. Those who love benevolence have no way to respect them, and those who hate benevolence are called benevolent, and those who are not benevolent are not allowed to add to their own body." .There is someone who can use his strength for benevolence for a day, and I have never seen anyone who is not strong enough. If there is one, I have never seen it.' The Master said..." In repeating the recitation over and over again, in one "Zi Yue" after another, he tried hard to find something he could believe in and pursue. "gentlemen?" Liu Shi hastily wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and stood up, a little embarrassed at what to do.The master didn't know when he arrived, so he didn't call him, but just stood quietly under the window, listening to his reciting. Meng Jue didn't seem to see anything, and said with a smile, "Today we don't do homework in the books. Let's go climbing and see the scenery outside the books." "it is good." Liu Xi hid his book and followed behind Meng Jue, step by step.When he reached the top of the mountain, Liu Shi finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Sir, is Father smart?" "very smart." "Father... Will Father love and dote on a concubine like the emperor in the book?" "Won't." Hearing the affirmative tone of his husband, Liu Xi was relieved, and at such a young age, he looked into the distance and let out a long breath.
