I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 320
"Cao Teng, I have met His Majesty!"

When Liu Long had just returned to the capital twenty miles outside the city, he heard the familiar voice.

Of course, he only heard this familiar voice.

Liu Long had already run off the horse at this time. After working hard for more than a year and nearly two years, Liu Long now seized the opportunity and directly found a pretty good carriage.

He was resting in the carriage with his legs crossed.

When he heard Cao Teng's surprised voice, he opened his eyes directly, and then shouted to Deng Zun outside to get out of the way and invite Cao Teng in.

"Cao Teng"

"Okay!" Liu Long directly interrupted Cao Teng's words, and then changed to a more comfortable position, then looked at Cao Teng aside, "Tell me, what are you here to see me about? "

"Your Majesty, I am naturally here to greet you."

"I am an emperor after all!" Liu Long directly interrupted Cao Teng's words, and then said softly to Cao Teng with an unchanging expression, "We finally won the victory and returned to the court, so we won't say what we should do." Street, people lined the streets to welcome him.

Was it just because of the reception that all the officials of the Han Dynasty died?
It’s twenty miles away. If we go further, we should reach Luoyang. Why hasn’t anyone come to greet me yet?
Do you really think it doesn’t matter whether I welcome you or not? "

Liu Long sneered directly at Cao Teng, causing Cao Teng's expression to change instantly.

The whole person lowered his head and did not dare to say anything louder.

"say!"

Cao Teng was so silent, so Liu Long was not going to be polite to him, so he snorted coldly, making Cao Teng's body tremble slightly.

"Your Majesty, this matter"

"My confidants are all around here, and the soundproofing of this carriage is quite good." Liu Long directly interrupted Cao Teng in front of him, then lowered his head slightly and looked at him with a serious look on his face, "Say, after all, what happened!"

When Liu Long entered the area around the capital, he realized that something was very wrong.

He is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the king of a country, and this time he returns with a great victory, everyone is watching, and he is destined to be a glorious existence.

But on the way back to the capital from the northwest, it was normal at first, but halfway through, something went wrong.

Getting closer and closer to the capital, but Liu Long could clearly feel that the people along the way treated them, or in other words, treated him with more and more courtesy!
Yes, it is close to etiquette!

No one was disrespectful to him, and even all the officials could not find any problems with the supplies and hospitality along the way. Even if someone wanted to find fault, they could not find any fault.

Everything is done in accordance with Han laws and etiquette.

But this is not right!
He is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the emperor who has returned from victory. This is the time when others should come to his side, praise him and flatter him.

It should be the time when everyone is fawning over him and preparing to let him take charge of the court, hoping to benefit from the situation.

But at this time, a group of people actually treated him with courtesy.

This is simply ridiculous!

If nothing happened, who would dare to do this now?

Treating each other with courtesy like this would not fall into the trap of others, but by doing so, although it cannot be said to offend Liu Long, it can be regarded as drawing a clear line and being able to serve as an official in the Han Dynasty.

Regardless of whether it is a local government or a court, there are a few people who are truly selfless. This kind of thing is such a fool!

So Liu Long has been on the carriage during this period, resting and thinking about what happened now.However, he received too little information and could not figure out what was going on.

At the critical moment, Cao Teng had to take the initiative, allowing Liu Long to find a gap.

Under Liu Long's gaze, Cao Teng looked helpless, and in the end he had no choice but to speak softly.

"Your Majesty seems to have felt that the problems in the court are somewhat serious.

This time the officials in the court did not go out of the city to greet him because they are all under the city now."

"Under the city?" Liu Long's expression did not improve at all. On the contrary, he became even more gloomy. "Under the city, you are really polite and polite. I just don't know that they really don't take me seriously."

"Your Majesty is joking, who among the ministers in the court dares to ignore His Majesty?
But now... they have nothing to do now. "

"What do you mean? Is there anyone else who can't do it better than them?"

"It's not like forcing them. It's just that in the past two days, news came out in the palace that the Queen Mother was ill and would not come to greet His Majesty.

As soon as the news came out, the officials in the court would naturally think about it carefully, especially since the Queen Mother did not show any symptoms when she went to court these two days.

That means... isn't it obvious? "

When Cao Teng said this, he couldn't help but pout, and at the same time glanced at Liu Long secretly, and then said softly.

“Of course, Your Majesty, don’t worry, this matter has nothing to do with the Queen Mother.

Or maybe the Queen Mother also has something to hide."

"What's the unspeakable secret?" Liu Long's expression became serious and his face became a little gloomy. "Tell me, I want to know what happened in the past two years!"

"I don't know the specific details yet, but I heard a piece of news from someone in Changle Palace..."

"Say!"

"Not only in the palace, some people have begun to spread the news, saying that His Majesty wants to take charge this time.

Moreover, His Majesty is at this age and has sufficient prestige, so it is a good opportunity for him to take charge of the government personally.

Of course, the Queen Mother has always said that Your Majesty is smart and will hand over government affairs to His Majesty sooner or later."

After Cao Teng finished speaking, he immediately closed his mouth and slowly retreated a little.

During this period, he often followed Deng Sui, and naturally he had many opinions about Deng Sui. He also had to admit that Deng Sui was capable and capable, and he was very good at winning people's hearts.

Regarding the Queen Mother, Cao Teng really didn't want to say anything that shouldn't be said, but it was just that if he didn't say some words, it would be even worse.

It's a pity that Cao Teng was also concerned and confused. When he couldn't help but start to explain, he saw Liu Long's gloomy face halfway through the explanation and realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"Your Majesty, I just talked too much."

"What you said is very good. You said what you should say, but you didn't say what you shouldn't. That's very good." Liu Long's expression returned to normal at this time, and at the same time he shouted an order outside.

"Go around the west gate of the capital and enter the city from the south gate!"
