Vol 2 Chapter 1152: Finale (3)

The abdication is a multitude of things, and it can't be done overnight.
Except Gu Jiu, Liu Zhao said nothing.
Gu Jiu is also tight-lipped.
This matter is of great importance.
If there is a leak in advance, there may be misfortune.
Now that you have decided to abdicate and give up the throne, you have to start preparing.
Liu Zhao first made two decrees, calling on the king of Rong Liu Heng, and Princess Liu Xiang of Ruyang to return to Beijing with his family.
When Lu Wang Liu Li learned of this, he took the initiative to ask Ying to send the imperial decree overseas.
"The queen father and the queen don't have to worry about the safety of the children. The children go by land, just to inspect the construction of overseas cement roads for the father and queen."
Liu Zhao asked him, "What do you do on the return trip? Your brother and your sister both go back to Beijing by water, and if you go by land alone, isn't it a waste of time."
King Lu had already thought about it, "When I return, I will leave early, and I will go back day and night, and I will definitely be able to come back before the Chinese New Year. The four-wheeled carriage is stable, and most of the roads are cement roads. My son can live on the carriage. , Change horses without changing people and come back."
Gu Jiu said to Liu Zhao: "Let him go! He has been talking about going overseas for several years. He was afraid of water, so he didn't dare to go out by boat, and he couldn't find a chance to go out. This time, he had a rare opportunity. , Let him go out and see.
You know his temperament, Zhai. It's rare that he actively wanted to go out and couldn't stop him. And the boss and second child have both gone out to study. The only exception is that the third child has never gone out to study, so this time he was compensated. The big deal is to arrange more escorts to protect him, so that the garrison will send troops to him along the way. "
Lu Wang Liu Li looked at his father eagerly.
The emperor Liu Zhao suddenly felt softened, "No matter, let him go out to deliver the imperial decree, and visit the mountains and water by the way."
"Thank you Father!" Lu Wang Liu Li beamed with joy.
Liu Zhao didn't forget to remind him, "I remember, before the New Year, you must rush back to the capital, I have important things to announce. If you miss the time, you will stay in the capital in the future and you are not allowed to leave the capital."
Lu Wang Liu Li fully agreed, overjoyed.
Qi Wang Liu Yu also wanted to take a look overseas.
But he can't walk away.
The father is in ill health, he is responsible for supervising the country and managing everything.
If he leaves, all the burdens of government and government will be placed on his father. Taking the father's current physical condition, the consequences would be disastrous.
In the late spring and early summer, Qi Wang Liu Yu sent Lu Wang Liu Li out of the city.
"It's enviable that the third brother can go overseas to see. When you return to the capital, you must tell me the scenery along the way."
"Brother rest assured, I will draw the scenery along the way and give it to you."
"That's great! Good trip, go early and return early!"
After sending away his third brother Liu Li, Liu Yu continued to be busy with government affairs.
The father did not ask about the government, but suddenly made a few orders to remove officials from three provinces and six ministries one after another, and make other arrangements.
Then a group of young officials were promoted.
When Liu Yu got the promotion list, he was taken aback.
He knows all the people on the list.
Not only know, but also familiar.
Because these young and middle-aged officials who have been promoted in surprise are all his supporters.
Several of them had a friendship between birth and death with him. We have been to Xiliang and have been on the battlefield together.
Liu Yu was uneasy, and hurriedly came to Chang'an Palace to see him with the promotion list.
...
Gu Jiu is putting plaster on Liu Zhao.
In the past few days, the heavy rains have caused Liu Zhao's old injuries and illnesses, and the pain is unbearable.
After applying the plaster, the pain gradually eased, and Liu Zhao let out a sigh of relief.
Liu Yu walked into the study with the promotion list, and the couple understood when they saw it.
"Sit down and talk!"
Gu Jiu's expression was gentle.
"Does the father's body matter?"
"It's better!" At this moment, Liu Zhao just wanted to lie down on the soft collapse, how comfortable he would be. But he didn't want to lose his majesty in front of his son.
So he said to Gu Jiu, "You talk to the boss, I'm intermittent in here."
Gu Jiu responded, not forgetting to remind him, "No candy!"
Liu Zhao was dissatisfied, how could he tell his son that he was eating sweets?
He doesn't want face!
He deliberately kept his face straight, "I don't eat candy!"
Real men, never eat sweet candies.
Even if you want to eat, you can only eat with your back.
Never lose the majesty of being a father in front of your children.
He lifted his chest up and left!
Liu Yu lowered his head and laughed, not daring to laugh out loud.
Gu Jiu was also dumbfounded, and secretly complained about Liu Zhao's face.
Mother and son are left in the study.
Gu Jiu opened the door and asked him: "But came for the list?"
"Exactly! Erchen doesn't understand."
"Why don't you understand?"
"Why are these people suddenly promoted, but they are still people familiar with the children?"
Gu Jiu put down the tea cup, "What do you think is the reason in your heart?"
Liu Yu shook his head, "I don't dare to think about it."
"Why not dare! You can think boldly."
Liu Yu still shook his head.
There are some things you can't think deeply.
Gu Jiu said softly: "In fact, you already have an answer in your heart. Your father promoted these people for you."
Liu Yu frowned, "Why did Emperor Father do this? Could it be that Emperor Father's body..."
He did not dare to continue.
He was a little scared, afraid of speaking out, and he became a proverb.
Gu Jiu continued his words and said: "Your father's health is very bad. You can't be tired or worry about it."
Liu Yu solemnly said: "The son can share the worries for his father. This is what the son has been doing."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Because the government can't do without you, in order to make you more handy, like an arm, your father thinks that you should promote some officials who can cooperate with you."
Liu Yu frowned, is it really that simple?
Gu Jiu said again: "Don't think too much! With this palace guarding your father, your father will be safe."
Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Erchen understands! Hard work mother queen."
"It is a blessing to be accompanied by young couples and old friends."
...
The weather was getting warmer, Gu Jiu took Liu Zhao to Xiaozhu to escape the heat.
Liu Zhao wondered about the changes in the capital camp, and Liu Yu had to ascend the throne smoothly.
"The Northwest will not move for now! Overseas camp, when the second child returns, another person will be arranged to take up the post."
"You make up your mind!" Gu Jiu was very simple.
"Are you not worried at all?" Liu Zhao hummed twice, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Gu Jiu laughed, "For now, the situation is fairly stable. At this time, the military changes are based on your decision. In short, no matter how the personnel affairs change, the strategy of going west and going south will not change! The boss and We think the same way."
Liu Zhao said "Oh" and continued to ponder.
"Sure enough, I had toiled my life. I left the palace. I still couldn't forget to pay attention to the government and worry about everything. I think at the beginning, my father didn't teach me hand in hand. I just found it out by myself."
Gu Jiu asked curiously, "Are you resentful?"
Liu Zhao shook his head, "Naturally, I will not resent! I have long thought about it thoroughly. Every parent actually has his own way of teaching his children. The father has his own way, and I also have his own way."
Gu Jiu laughed, "From Emperor Wu Zong Kai Yao down, the emperors of the Great Zhou are more gentle than the other generations. I still remember that Emperor Wu Zong Kai Yao treated his children as if he treated animals. The first emperor can bear for decades, it is not ordinary. Intrepid. When I reach the Emperor, I rarely use brute to insult my children. When I reach you, I will be harsh on the children, but they will not insult my children for no reason. There is progress! One generation is better than one generation!"
Liu Zhao's mouth twitched, and he always felt so shameless.
Gu Jiu told him to lie down to give him massage oil.
"Let the servant come. It's too hard work." Liu Zhao said.
Tuina medicated oil requires a lot of strength. One hundred percent is considered a hard work.
Gu Jiu said, "I will massage for you for a quarter of an hour."
Liu Zhao stared at the self-ringed bell, "That's it. Just massage for a quarter of an hour. I am worried that you are tired."
"You don't need to worry about me. If I feel tired, I don't need to remind you, and I will stop and rest. It's like you, dragging my broken body all the time."
Liu Zhao said twice to express his dissatisfaction.
Gu Jiu's massage technique is very gentle and not strong.
Liu Zhao felt very comfortable and enjoyable, and fell asleep unconsciously.
Cover him with a thin quilt.
Gu Jiu washed his hands and got up out of the study.
Ren Qiu has arrived.
Waiting in the flower hall.
When I saw Gu Jiu, I saluted first, "See Empress Empress!"
"Free gift!"
"The thing the Queen Mother ordered has been done. This is a pill re-made by the medical school, which is more effective than the previous one."
After a pause, Ren Qiu said again: "In the words of the imperial physicians, this is the medicine for tigers and wolves. With this medicine, there are risks."
"My palace knows the risks. But without this medicine, how long do you think your Majesty's body can support?"
Ren Qiu looked solemn.
He thought for a while and said, "This pill can be taken in two doses. Weichen has tried this medicine with dozens of veterans of the Hundred Wars. As long as they can survive the first course of treatment, they will get better later. But many veterans cannot. I have passed the first course of treatment."
"Have you brought all the test drug data?"
Ren Qiu nodded.
A full basket of data is the medical record of every veteran who voluntarily went to the medical school to test medicine.
These veterans were tortured by old wounds and desperate for life.
Knowing that the medical school started a treatment to relieve the pain, all of them signed up for trial drugs voluntarily.
Even if they know the risks and may not survive the first course of treatment, these veterans are willing to give it a try.
It's so painful!
Suffering every day and night.
Want to die, but don't have the courage.
To live, there is no quality of life at all.
It is not good to eat and sleep well.
Every month, with the aid of disabled soldiers, the money is spent on medicine.
Now there is an opportunity in front of you. Success means that there are still several years to live, and the quality of life.
Failure is death! Finally freed.
Whether it succeeds or fails, everyone is ready.
Dozens of medical record reports, read one by one.
Gu Jiu personally wrote and made a statistical table to intuitively judge the effect of this medicine.
"What are you up to?"
Liu Zhao woke up from sleep, with good spirits.
Knowing that Gu Jiu was in the small study room, he rushed over immediately.
"Are you awake?" Gu Jiu put aside his work.
Liu Zhao nodded and looked at a basket of materials, "What is this?"
Gu Jiu didn't lie to him, "This is a medication report."
Liu Zhao picked up a copy and looked at it. A lot of the content could not be understood, but he could understand the basic content.
He frowned, flipping through the books one by one, "These people have the same symptoms as me?"
"They are all war veterans, some of them have more injuries than you, and some have fewer injuries than you."
"What are you using him to test the medicine?"
"All are voluntary, and the risks are truthfully told to them. Many people here come to medical school with the idea of ​​either living a few more years or getting rid of it."
Liu Zhao sighed, "I can understand their thoughts. If I were not the emperor, and could enjoy the best treatment in the world, using the best medicinal materials, I am afraid that I would also make the decision to try medicine to solve the problem. They are not good. The medicinal materials are available, and there is no doctor to see them. They suffer ten times and suffer ten times as much as I."
"You don't have to be like that! Half of the people in it survived."
"really?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "In the past few years, I have been older and younger, and they have a strong desire to survive, and their physical fitness is barely good among others."
Liu Zhao asked her, "Is this medicine effective?"
"Yes! Those who survived have significantly reduced their illnesses, which are tolerable and will not affect their lives."
"Do you want me to take this medicine?"
"I have to think about it again."
Gu Jiu couldn't make up his mind, after all, this medicine was risky.
No one dared to pack a ticket, Liu Zhao would definitely be able to carry it.
"What are you still hesitating about! Since the medicine is effective, I will take it out quickly and I will take it. This day is really suffering, I can't wait for a day."
"No! Even if you want to take it, you have to prepare for it a few days in advance. This medicine is a tiger wolf medicine. You can take it immediately if you want to."
"I listen to you, what preparations should be made, just give your orders."
