Liao Chuxiu's face was surprised when he heard this: "What words?" He paused, his eyebrows twisted slightly, "I drank a few more drinks that day, did I say something that shouldn't be said?"

Xiao Xianhong listened to Liao Chuxiu's drunken words, and his face suddenly sank: "Master Hou really doesn't remember?"

Liao Chuxiu looked at him a little blankly.

Xiao Xianhong saw that he wanted to stay out of the matter and turned his face and didn't admit it, so he couldn't help but speak directly: "Master Hou forgot, you told me that day that my father values me, and you also think that I am the best among our brothers, and you also said that if the time is right, you and I may not be able to cooperate......

Liao Chuxiu was stunned when he heard this, as if he had just remembered this, and chuckled: "It turned out to be this." ”

Xiao Xianhong saw that he was willing to admit it, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face, but before his joy was completely revealed, Liao Chuxiu's next words made the smile on his face freeze instantly.

"His Royal Highness invited me that day, I didn't shirk and drank a few more glasses, and when I was drunk, I would talk nonsense and boast to His Highness, if it wasn't for His Highness to mention it, I would have almost forgotten that there was such a foolish thing that day. If I had known that my wine was not good, I would not have gone to the appointment, and I would have made His Highness laugh for nothing. ”

Liao Chuxiu seemed to be a little embarrassed, and smiled, his expression was extremely sincere: "I said nonsense that day, I hope Your Highness will not take it to heart." ”

Xiao Xianhong listened to Liao Chuxiu's words, and his eyes suddenly became gloomy.

No one knew better than him how much wine they drank that day, and he could see clearly whether Liao Chuxiu was awake at that time.

With Liao Chuxiu's attitude, how could he be drunk and still say those words nonsense after drinking?

He clearly just looked at him and was in trouble now, and he didn't want to admit it.

Chen Pinyun's face was also slightly gloomy, although he had long known that this trip to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion would not go well, and Liao Chuxiu would not agree to help them so easily, but he didn't expect that Liao Chuxiu would refuse so directly, and he wanted to send them away with a drunken nonsense.

Chen Pinyun spoke: "Marquis Liao was really drunk and talked nonsense that day, so what you said about the old Marquis, about Feng Qizhou, about His Majesty and King Xiang, are they all drunken nonsense?"

"The old man is the same as the Hou Ye, they are all in the army, and they have never liked to beat around the bush when they speak, the Hou Ye is a rare smart person, and he must have known from the beginning what the old man and His Royal Highness are looking for you, if the Hou Ye thinks that the eldest prince is not as good as before, and is no longer worthy of cooperating with you, you can speak to us bluntly, and why bother to use drunkenness, but it is to lose the courage of the Hou Mansion in Zhenyuan. ”

Liao Chuxiu looked at Chen Pinyun's righteous words, and the anger on his face was tinged with appropriate shame, as if it was not him at all who secretly passed the word to him when he was talking to Xiao Xianhong in the hall before.

Liao Chuxiu couldn't help but smile with three points, and tapped his fingers on the edge of the table.

"General Chen said with a smile, the eldest prince has a noble status, and with you and the Liu family by his side, how can he need to cooperate with me, I am just a martial artist who guards the gate of the city and guards the capital for His Majesty, how can I be worthy of such importance from the two of you?"

Liao Chuxiu looked up at Xiao Xianhong, whose face was extremely ugly, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness was able to suppress the Taixu things before, and now he will definitely be able to, I heard that the third master of the Liu family is going to Taixu to take up the post, presumably the Taixu matter will be able to solve the difficulties, as for those gossips......

"This history book since ancient times is written by the winner, and the loser is just muddy and dry bones, not to mention that Your Majesty has never really made His Royal Highness, and now His Royal Highness has an in-law relationship with the Liu family, and he is happy to have a noble son, then the old Liu Pavilion will definitely try his best to assist His Highness, why do I need to be a martial artist?"

"If Your Highness wants me to lobby for you in front of Your Majesty, then you don't have to, Liu Ge Lao has more face than me in front of Your Majesty, if he comes forward, Your Majesty will definitely be lenient with you, Your Highness has come to my mansion, this is the wrong place. ”

Xiao Xianhong and Chen Pinyun felt a little strange when they heard Liao Chuxiu's words, and they always felt that Liao Chuxiu had something to say, especially when he mentioned Liu Xiangcheng, there was a faint hint of strangeness in his words.

Xiao Xianhong couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "What does Master Hou mean by this?"

Liao Chuxiu raised his eyebrows: "Your Highness, don't you know that when the first emperor was in power, Liu Ge Lao once lived in the position of the prince, responsible for teaching the then crown prince Yu and the present school. After the first prince was executed for committing a crime, Liu Ge Lao also resigned from his position as a prince and joined the cabinet, but now His Majesty still respects him. ”

"The Liu family has retired to the court for more than ten years, and Liu Ge has been absent from the court for a long time, but why can he still be reused by His Majesty after he suddenly returns to the court, and even his son and nephew can hold important positions in just three years, Your Highness will not really think that it is all because you and Lord Chen are walking around for them, right?"

Liao Chuxiu's words were cold: "Liu Ge's connections in the court are far beyond His Highness's thoughts, and his status in His Majesty's heart is far beyond my martial arts. If Your Highness wants to get out of trouble and go to the old man of Liuge, why do you want to come to me from near and far?"

Xiao Xianhong listened to Liao Chuxiu's words and looked slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look at Chen Pinyun, and Chen Pinyun was also stunned.

Although Chen Pinyun knew some things in his early years, Liao Chuxiu didn't mention it, he almost forgot that before Liu Xiangcheng entered the cabinet, he was in the position of the prince, responsible for teaching the crown prince Yu and the princes of the year.

When the first emperor was there, the Liu family was extremely favored by the first emperor, and the Chen family's family background was far inferior to now, and the Wen and Liu families were not on the same face at all.

At that time, Chen Pinyun had not climbed to his current position, and he didn't have the ability and heart to ask about the Liu family, and he didn't know much about Liu Xiangcheng, if Liu Xiangcheng really had this relationship with Emperor Yongzhen, why did he never mention it to them?

Chen Pinyun suddenly remembered the Wen family.

In the two years after the death of the first emperor, Emperor Yongzhen suppressed the close ministers around the first emperor severely, Wen He was forced to die of illness in the house, and several close ministers around the first emperor were even crowned with various crimes, the distribution of the distribution, and the execution of the execution, but only Liu Xiangcheng, although the Liu family was also suppressed, but Liu Xiangcheng survived, and even lived more nourishing than anyone else.

In the past, Chen Pinyun only thought that it was because Liu Xiangcheng was familiar with current affairs and took the initiative to withdraw before Emperor Yongzhen made a move, but now that he thinks about it, how can it be so simple?

The Wen family died a Wen He, and after losing the pillars, they narrowly saved the Zheng Guogong Mansion, but what about the Liu family, why did Liu Xiangcheng protect himself and even all the people of the Liu family under such an environment at that time?
