Chapter four hundred and eighteen the way home (ten)

?

The last court meeting in June in the ninth year of Taiping. Kuangsha Literature Network

There were still constant disputes in the court meeting, and the entire court was thrown into chaos by the Right Prime Minister's party. Many ministers, after being targeted continuously, also became angry. Under the leadership of Prime Ministers Liu Zhongyuan and Liu Zhigu, a large number of courtiers gathered

, began to counterattack.

The chaos in the government made Zhao Zhi feel upset. At the end of June, Zhao Zhi left the court and drove to his palace in Lingzhou, two hundred miles away.

After Zhao Zhi succeeded to the throne, he advocated frugality and many palaces were closed. Only the Qingyou Palace near the capital was in normal operation. Every summer when the weather was hot, Zhao Zhi would go to Qingyou Palace to escape the summer heat, but each time it did not last long.

This time it was a little different. There were hundreds of ministers accompanying the emperor. Four of the nine ministers from the political hall were also there, half of them. This meant that Zhao Zhi’s visit to Qingyou Palace this time would not be a short stay.

, it is very possible to stay there for a longer period of time.

The wind is gentle and the sun is shining.

A huge procession of people walked on the official road.

The person in charge of the safety of the emperor during this trip is General Sun Wuyang of the Yulin Guards, accompanied by 5,000 elite Yulin troops.

Several fast horses galloped through the fields, and finally came to the back of the team. Here, some officials were riding horses, and some officials had carriages because they were bringing their families.

Li Xun stopped in front of a carriage. The old man driving the carriage obviously knew him and said with a smile: "General Li is here to see my lord?"

"Yes, yes."

Li Xun smiled and nodded, and shouted to the carriage: "Brother Tingxuan, isn't it stuffy inside? Come out and get some air."

The car curtain opened, revealing the head of a boy, about ten years old. The boy looked at Li Xun and said happily: "Uncle Li Xun, I want to ride a horse."

Li Xun laughed loudly, stepped forward and took him out, sitting in his arms.

This is He Tingxuan's carriage. In early May, at the beginning of the political chaos, Zhao Zhi sent some officials to inspect local areas, perhaps out of protection for some ministers. He Tingxuan was one of them. The day before yesterday, he arrived from Henan Road, Dongdu Luo

After returning from Beijing, he was named by Zhao Zhi to accompany him to Qingyou Palace. Under Li Xun's persuasion, He Tingxuan rarely opened up this time. This time he came out and brought out his son and daughter.

He Tingxuan had one wife and one concubine, and the concubine was a maid who was married to his wife Liu. They each gave birth to a boy and a girl to He Tingxuan, making a total of two boys and two girls.

What Li Xun was holding in his arms was He Tingxuan's second son, named He Zheng. He was born to his concubine, Wang, and he was a concubine. However, He Tingxuan was not from a wealthy family and there were not many heirs in the family. Even though he was a concubine, He Tingxuan still loved him very much.

Holding the child in his arms, Li Xun looked through the window and saw inside the carriage, He Tingxuan was sitting there. There was a small desk in front of him with pen and ink paper on it. He was obviously writing something before. Beside him, there was also a young girl sitting.

He Zhaojun, a seven or eight-year-old girl, and He Tingxuan also looked at Li Xun at this moment, waved to him, and said: "My son is a little tired and won't go out. You can take your child to play."

Li Xun shook his head. He could guess without looking that He Tingxuan was extremely dissatisfied with the recent disputes in the court. He was obviously writing a memorial at the moment and wanted to say something to the emperor.

Zhao Zhi sent He Tingxuan out because he was afraid that he would be too upright and get involved in the disputes in the court. Since he had no backing, he might not end well in the end.

Li Xun handed He Zheng to Jiang Daxiong who was behind him, and then asked the old man to stop the carriage. He went up and hugged He Zhaojun, and pulled He Tingxuan out of the carriage.

He Tingxuan threw away Li Xun's hand and shouted angrily: "Li Xun, I told you that I'm not feeling well, why do you still force yourself to do something difficult?"

Li Xun chuckled and said, "He Tingxuan, don't speak so loudly. Many people are watching."

He Tingxuan looked around, and as he shouted, sure enough, many people looked in this direction, so they turned dark and stopped talking.

Li Xun handed He Zhaojun to Ouyang Li and said, "You two take the children to play."

Ouyang Li nodded, and galloped away with Jiang Daxiong. The two children suddenly exclaimed, and then laughed happily.

Li Xun patted He Tingxuan on the shoulder and said: "Old He, you are just having fun when you come out to play. What's the point of you staying in the carriage all day? The scenery along the way is very beautiful."

He Tingxuan's expression was still bad. It was obvious that Li Xun's actions just now made him really angry.

"Li Xun, I didn't come out just for fun."

"If it's not for fun, why are you out here?"

"I have my plan, Li Xun, don't disturb me." He Tingxuan shook his head and was about to get on the carriage.

Li Xun grabbed him and walked forward while saying: "Lao He, I know what you want to do, but there are some things that you cannot control. To put it bluntly, one more person than you in the court is not enough.

, one less for you and more for you, if you insist on digging in, you will only end up harming yourself."

When Li Xun said this, He Tingxuan was not angry, but said sternly: "Nowadays, the government is in chaos. The ministers do not think about the affairs of the country. They attack each other blindly and neglect the affairs of the government. If this continues in the long run, it will not be a good thing for the country and the people. I have to

Your Majesty's kindness in knowing you is the right time to do your best for your Majesty, how can you just sit back and ignore it?"

Li Xun said: "The reorganization and planning of the overall situation will naturally cause chaos, but it will not last long, and they will stop after a while. If you jump out now, aren't you asking for trouble?"

He Tingxuan shook his head, disagreeing with Li Xun's words, but he never liked arguing with others, so he didn't say anything more. He just lowered his head, thinking about things, and did not talk to Li Xun.

Li Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head. He Tingxuan has been an official in the court for nearly ten years. He has seen everything he should see and experienced everything he should experience. But he is still like this. It seems that he will never change in this life.

.

He Tingxuan no longer insisted, and walked with Li Xun, looking at the beautiful scenery around him, he felt much better.

"Li Xun, the memorial has been written. Please help me hand it over to the emperor."

Li Xun asked in confusion: "Why don't you give it yourself?"

He Tingxuan shook his head and did not explain.

In fact, after He Tingxuan just came back the day before yesterday, after understanding the situation in the capital, he asked to see Zhao Zhi the next day, but what he said was not liked by Zhao Zhi. He then submitted a memorial and quickly withdrew. Today

He Tingxuan did not stay in the carriage, but asked to see Zhao Zhi twice, but was refused both times.

He Tingxuan is not a fool. Zhao Zhi doesn't want to hear what he says now, nor does he want to see him. I'm afraid the memorial he wrote will not reach Zhao Zhi.

Seeing that He Tingxuan refused to say anything, Li Xun stopped asking any more questions and joked: "Then I have to take a look first. If the writing is not good, I will just throw it away."

He Tingxuan said calmly: "It is a serious crime to block the flow of speech. I will write a letter of impeachment against you."
