Liu Zhe had eaten lunch countless times, but this was the first time he had eaten the lunch invited by the emperor.
There are only two words that impressed Liu Zhe about the emperor's lunch, that is: luxury.
During this extraordinary period of chaos and natural disasters, the emperor still maintained such a luxurious diet. Liu Zhe conservatively estimated that the cost of this meal was enough to support a family of four for a year.
However, here, it is just a meal for the emperor. Moreover, Liu Zhe saw that Liu Hong only tasted a small amount of food most of the time. Not to mention finishing all the food, even a tenth of it was not finished.
Looking at this full table, Liu Zhe suddenly lost his appetite.
"What, are you full?" Liu Hong asked in surprise when he saw Liu Zhe put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"I'm full." Liu Zhe nodded and said.
"Okay, since you are full, I will not eat for the time being. I will chat with you first and then eat later." Liu Hong waved his hand and asked the eunuch beside him to remove the food and wine from the table.
Will there be another table of wine and food like this later? Liu Zhe was secretly surprised. Liu Hong's life was so luxurious and wasteful.
"Brother Emperor, how do you feel about the world now?" After Liu Zhe was brought to a room by Liu Hong, Liu Hong suddenly asked. This room is much smaller than the side hall, and there are many books stacked in it. There are bamboo slips and paper books.
Here he is, Liu Zhe thought to himself, he knew that the emperor's younger brother would not invite him into the palace for a simple meeting, to recognize a relative and have a meal.
"Back to the emperor, now the world is at peace and the people live and work in peace and contentment" Liu Zhe was talking nonsense casually.
"Really?" Liu Hong asked without leaving any trace.
"Of course it's true." Liu Zhe nodded.
Just as Liu Zhe finished speaking, Liu Hong suddenly shouted loudly: "Liu Ziling, how brave are you to deceive me?"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Liu Zhe quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake!
"Don't think I'm blind, I know what's going on outside." Liu Hong looked at Liu Zhe and said calmly.
What the hell, you know that and you still ask?
Liu Zhe couldn't help complaining in his heart, but he said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Liu Hong kept staring at Liu Zhe. After a long while, Liu Zhe heard Liu Hong sigh quietly: "Why does no one dare to tell the truth to me? Could it be that after becoming an emperor, I can only be a loner?" ?¡±
"I thought being the emperor was the most beautiful thing in the world, but unexpectedly it was the most uncomfortable thing in the world. The ministers under me would only fight for power and gain, and the people around me would only please me and be afraid of me."
Liu Zhe's heart moved, and he suddenly felt that this emperor was so pitiful. He lived deep in the palace and had no chance to go outside. Unlike the 21st century, where national leaders go to various places.
Liu Zhe did not speak, and kept standing beside the emperor, playing the role of a listener.
At this time, Liu Hong looked at him and continued: "Actually, you don't have to hide it from me. I know what's going on outside. Disasters continue. How can people live and work in peace and contentment? Otherwise, where would the Yellow Turban Rebellion come from?"
Liu Hong¡¯s voice revealed a hint of exhaustion. At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was so powerful that it approached Luoyang. During that period, Liu Hong had trouble sleeping and eating, and was frightened.
"Knowing that you still live such a luxurious life?" Liu Zhe secretly despised him.
"You all think that I live deep in the palace, that I only know how to eat, drink, have fun, and ignore government affairs. There must be many people outside calling me a fool, right?" Liu Hong seemed to have opened up the conversation, saying one sentence after another. The sentence he said to himself seemed to be for Liu Zhe, but Liu Zhe felt that he was talking to himself.
"The foundation of this great man has become like this in my hands. I will be ashamed to go see my ancestors in the future."
"Your Majesty, as long as you are willing to do it, you can do anything, even if it is to make up for the situation. As long as your Majesty is diligent in political affairs and corrects the officials, we will be able to revitalize our Han Dynasty." Liu Zhe felt that he had something to say, so he said this to comfort Liu Hong.
As for whether it can succeed, Liu Zhe can't control that much.
"To make up for it?" Liu Hong whispered the word twice, and finally said to himself in a voice he could hear: "Unfortunately, it's too late."
He looked up at Liu Zhe, who was standing there with a heroic figure. When Liu Zhe entered the palace today, he chose the best clothes and everything. They were tailor-made and he had a unique sense of heroism when he wore them.
Liu Hong looked at him, and four words flashed in his mind, young hero.
At this moment, Liu Hong stared into Liu Zhe's eyes, and then asked aloud: "Liu Zhe, can I believe you?"
Seeing Liu Hong¡¯s face with a little expectation, Liu Zhe felt that the emperor who was older than him was very pitiful, so he thought for a while and nodded seriously.
"I, I want to ask you a favor." Liu Hong said softly.
Liu Zhe looked serious and said, "Your Majesty, it's okay. I will do my best in whatever I can do."
Liu Hong nodded and nodded to the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch left and soon came with two children. One is only seven or eight years old, and the other is even younger, seemingly only three or four years old, and is being held by a palace maid.
"They are my princes." Liu Hong said to Liu Zhe, the eldest was named Liu Bian and the younger was named Liu Xie. The two princes looked at Liu Zhe curiously. Although Liu Xie was only three or four years old, he neither cried nor fussed, biting his fingers and staring at Liu Zhe.
"Brother, who do you think can inherit my throne?" Liu Hong glanced at Liu Zhe, and then asked softly!
But Liu Hong¡¯s words made Liu Zhe almost jump up, and he secretly looked around vigilantly to see if there were three hundred axemen lying in wait
