Chapter two hundred and ninety third
As the left prime minister, Lan He is not as arrogant as Yuan Bolang. He seems more respectful to Liu Yu. This respect is superficial, and he has already clearly defined his relationship with Liu Yu in secret.
Lan He sat on the chair that Yuan Bolang had sat before, with a smile on his face and looked at Song Kuan.
Song Kuan introduced himself very well: "The student's surname is Song Kuan's name is Xiao'an, and he is not from the yamen. He is a candidate for this imperial examination. I have met this official."
Lan He was surprised. The imperial examination was in progress now. The Song Dynasty magazine was not in the examination room. Why did he appear in the palace with Liu Yu? When he thought, this Song Dynasty magazine was quite famous and could actually be valued by Liu Yu and should not be underestimated.
Lan He smiled and said, "Young Master Song has a bright future in the future."
Compared with Yuan Bolang's previous attitude, Lan He's attitude was very different, which made Song Chao feel comfortable when he heard it. Just as he was about to thank the old man for his "savvy eyes to recognize talents", Liu Yu asked first: "Lan Xiang, what is the situation of Xiafeng Cuigong now?"
“Not very good.”
Lan He was full of grief and said the truth, "Justice had just summoned those people, and they all complained, saying that they were forced by the King of Rebellion and had to surrender. After that, they were grateful for the kindness of the court. They were forced by the King of Rebellion and did not send troops to abdicate. Anything they said was ready to respond, which was difficult to deal with, and it was difficult to deal with!"
The Dashun Dynasty established a stagnation of the world for a hundred years, and time was not far away. In other words, when it was not peaceful in the south, the ancestors of the Shun Dynasty divided the descendants of the Su family into various places and became the country of China.
Now they have to remove their privileges and make them ordinary nobles. These vassal kings and vassal lords will definitely use various means to swear. Su Yan, Yuan Bolang, Lan He and others thought that the matter would come naturally when they were told in the court. Who knew that the resistance they encountered was unprecedentedly huge. Some old vassal kings were even seeking death in the court. Many ministers in the court were bribed by the vassal kings and spoke for them.
For the vassal kings who guarded the local area, no mistake is a merit. If they insist on provoking to say that they had once been abdicated, they would also make excuses, which is forced by others.
Lan He and Liu Yu were talking to each other, and several imperial guards hurriedly carried into the Imperial Hospital an old man with a pale face. When he saw the costumes on his body, Liu Yu knew that he was at least a prince. He pretended to be dead and dizzy with his eyes closed, and he must be like cheating in the court.
"Who is this?" Liu Yu stood up and walked forward and took a look, "What's the situation?"
The Imperial Guard had a low status and did not recognize Liu Yu. He thought he was an imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital. He replied: "This is the Prince of Hedao. The prince fainted in the court. The emperor ordered us to carry him over for treatment."
Liu Yu thought about it for a while. It should be in Lingbei, very close to Shuzhong, and it should be an old guy wearing a pair of pants with the King of Shu. These old vassal kings must have a variety of tricks to protect their own acre of land. He had seen the King of Jing play tricks in the Jing Palace, and Liu Yu was deeply impressed.
Lan He heard that he was a prince, and even if he pretended to be faint, he would not dare to offend him. He hurriedly said, "Imperial Doctor, come and have a look."
Doctor Yun was about to go to this side. Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "Doctor Yun doesn't need to do anything to treat fainting, I'll do it. Get out of the way!"
Originally, the Prince of Hejian was lying on the ground and pretending to be dizzy. When he heard a young man talking there, his attitude seemed to be very arrogant. He was about to squint his eyes and see what happened, he felt a big hand covering his nose. He was pressed hard in the body, and he screamed in pain.
"You guys see, it works."
The Prince of Hejian opened his eyes angrily and saw the young man clapping his hands with a proud look on his face.
"You little boy, how dare you be rude to me? Do you know what crime should you be?" Prince Hejian jumped up from the ground and pointed at Liu Yu and cursed.
Liu Yu smiled coldly and said, "This prince, this is the Imperial Hospital. What I want to save people is when to be rude to you?"
When the Prince of Hejian thought, it seemed that this was really the case. However, the young man's joking expression just now didn't seem to save someone, but he seemed to see through him pretending to be dizzy and deliberately seeking trouble. Seeing Lan He next to him, the Prince of Hejian also became imposing. Originally, the prince of the vassal kings had already agreed that whenever they entered the palace, they would either play tricks with the emperor or mess around with some extraneous things, but they would not allow the emperor to implement the matter of reducing the vassal.
At this time, the Prince of Hejian took a chance and stepped forward and grabbed Liu Yu's arm and said, "You kid, you are rude to me. I want to go to the emperor to sue you and dismiss you from the position. I will not die well! Let's go with me to meet the emperor!"
The Prince of Hejian was very determined and dragged Liu Yu to Fengcui Palace. His idea was very simple. He would not let go of any opportunity to mess with the water. This young man who was rude to him was equivalent to giving him a chance. Little did he know that the young man was not worried, but was secretly happy. Originally, Liu Yu was worried that his master would be unnamed and could not go to Fengcui Palace to enhance the reputation of the new emperor, so the Prince of Hejian gave him this good opportunity.
But on the surface, he still had to pretend to be very reluctant.
"Oh, Prince, you don't care about villains. Do you think you are a minister in the same dynasty? Why bother to care about everything?" Liu Yu said with a smile on his face.
"No!" Prince Hejian pulled Liu Yu away in a hurry, "I just asked the emperor to give me a review."
Previously, in Fengcui Palace, the vassal kings first cried, then quarreled with Yuan Bolang, Lan He and others, and then pretended to be disgusting. Now the Prince of Hejian has become a ill person, afraid that the troubles will be unstoppable, so he hurriedly pulled Liu Yu to continue to mess around.
Lan He, who was following behind, felt that this was not simple and wanted to persuade him. The Prince of Hejian did not listen to the advice at all, and Liu Yu showed no sign of resistance or struggle. An old minister who had been in the officialdom for decades immediately understood Liu Yu's intention. Liu Yu wanted to climb up the pole. Now Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng are not in Chang'an City. Lan He and Yuan Bolang have fully controlled the court and let Liu Yu go, which is harmful to them.
Lan He stomped his feet and said with a cruel heart, and then he spoke loudly: "Prince, you can't take this person to the emperor, he is..."
"Bang!"
The Prince of Hejian swung his arm and slapped Lan He on the face, causing Lan He to faint.
"What's the matter of our Su family? What's the matter with you, a slander of a foreign surname? Where did you interfere with?"
The Prince of Hejian was used to being arrogant and domineering in his territory. He didn't even see a left prime minister in the court, let alone at this critical moment when it was a critical moment that was related to whether his wealth could be saved. Lan He's kind words were persuaded by the Prince of Hejian as a donkey.
Liu Yu said nervously, "Lan Xiang, are you okay? Why don't you go back to the Imperial Hospital and find Doctor Yun to see it?"
Lan He felt very distressed. He was tortured by these arrogant vassal kings in Fengcui Palace. Now he is slapped, and he is wronged. He chases him again. The Prince of Hejian has already pulled Liu Yu to the door of Fengcui Palace. The absolute elites of the Imperial Guards stood at the door. When he saw the Prince of Hejian and returned, he was shocked. However, when they saw Liu Yu looking indifferent, they did not dare to interfere. They had to bow first.
As soon as I opened the door, the noise was harsh.
It's not a court meeting inside, it's even more lively than the vegetable market.
Dozens of vassal kings and vassal lords, with the princes and counselors, opened their mouths one by one, and Liu Yu looked around. None of them stopped. In such a mess, it felt like it was about to swell when he stood there, not to mention discussing things in such a noisy situation.
Liu Yu had to sigh that these vassal kings were very first-class in their ability to mess around.
However, there are exceptions to the matter. When the prince of Hejian was seen at the door, he returned with one person behind him. He felt that things were not simple, but those who were originally talking loudly turned into whispers. Soon the whole court only looked at the arrogant prince of Hejian, and no one spoke again. Because many of these vassal kings had privately investigated the background of the current powerful figures in Chang'an City, and the portrait of the vanguard general Liu Yu was not unfamiliar to them.
"Your Majesty, why are you wronged?" The Prince of Hejian raised his voice eight degrees when he saw that others were not talking, and shouted, "The old minister went to the Imperial Hospital in discomfort and was insulted by this unknown little imperial physician. The slander named Lan even scolded the old minister for harming the country and the people, and the old minister didn't want to live anymore!"
The Prince of Hejian took the initiative to make the case and convicted Liu Yu and Lanhe. He did this without fear of turning back Lanhe suing him for beating important officials of the court.
The entire Fengcui Palace looked at Liu Yu and tried to guess how he "insulted" the Prince of Hejian.
Lan He hurriedly knelt down and shouted injustice: "Your Majesty, I have never scolded the prince! Please... a clear explanation!" He bowed to the ground.
The Prince of Hejian stared at Lan He, pointed at his nose and cursed: "Do you dare say no?"
Lan He felt so distressed. As the left prime minister, when would his subordinates dare to talk to him like this? But the prince falsely accused him of him and he could not have an attack. Liu Yu, who was beside him, said: "Lan prime minister has indeed never scolded the prince of Hejian. This minister can testify."
The prince of Hejian was angry and said angrily: "Why are you testing?"
When Su Yan was at a loss, he saw Liu Yu appearing, and he seemed to see hope in his heart. Liu Yu looked at Liu Yu with a gaze. Liu Yu explained: "As the person involved in the incident, why can't I testify? This is the whole story..."
The entire Fengcui Palace was silent. The Prince of Hejian glanced at the King of Shu, who was headed. The King of Shu winked at him, making him feel a little confused and he didn't say anything.
Liu Yu said: "In today's examination, a candidate was taken away on the spot to serve as a warning to others. I was sentenced to twenty sticks. Who knew that this candidate was slumped and could not recover after being beaten by the stick. Even the doctors in Chang'an City said that he was unsuccessful. So I asked someone to carry him to the palace for treatment."
The Prince of Hejian said angrily: "What does it have to do with the candidate cheating and being beaten?"
"As the chief examiner of this year's scientific examination, how can the prince say that this matter has nothing to do with me?"
