Chapter 22: Selfishness

Everyone has the right to be selfish, and selfishness is one of the social phenomena that is mixed with ideology.

Li Ziqin, who was bent on avenging the death of his youngest son, had no time to care about how many innocent people were affected after several conflicts, and the flame of hatred made him burn with lust, and he couldn't see Liu Shangwu's father and son at large.

Especially when Liu Zuochen was favored by the emperor, it made his bedroom uneasy and irritable! You father and son can live happily, Li Shuang should sleep underground? Thinking that his son Li Shuang didn't know which piece of soil he was buried in, Li Ziqin's brain was dizzy.

Li Qiang, who saw it in his eyes, had the heart to persuade Li Ziqin not to go to the early dynasty if he was unwell, and he groaned slightly and was stunned that he couldn't speak. Although Li Gong knew that and persuaded him, he made his father feel more and more guilty, and he didn't have any countermeasures to let Liu Zuochen swagger through the market? Thinking of her niece Princess Ruxuan flirting with Liu Zuochen at the post station at this time, Li Gongqi's hands trembled.

If the father and son of the Liu family were present, although he Li Gong would definitely not be able to suppress the anger in his heart.

Princess Ruxuan in the post station did not flirt as her uncle thought, but she was also smiling with Liu Zuochen.

She believes that the trip was very rewarding. Not to mention Liu Zuochen, the key is that her father Liu Shangwu is full of spring breeze and smiles, which is worthy of her joy, regardless of her own respected identity, at this time, Liu Shangwu is satisfied with her daughter-in-law's behavior, Princess Ruxuan feels that it is worth the trip.

It was still Sun Gonggong who came to the post station to announce the decree, and the group went to Kyoto City.

"Father, look ......," Liu Zuochen said, raising his horsewhip and pointing in the direction of the city gate.

Liu Shangwu, who smiled, said: "Every year, when I learned that my father returned to Kyoto to resume his life, he would wait at the city gate. Hahaha...... it's finally a brother! ”

The father and son were talking about no one else, it was Chen Xu, director of the Kyoto Garrison Division. He arched his hands in the direction of Liu Shangwu from afar, until he saw Liu Shangwu nodding his head, then he put down his hands and didn't say a word, and turned back to the city.

"Is that enough?" Liu Zuochen looked coldly at the back of Chen Xu leaving and asked.

"Killing people is not enough, you have to spare people and spare people! What's more, after all, there is a friendship of life. ”

For Lao Tzu's open-mindedness, Liu Zuochen has long been insightful. But he is still haunted by Chen Xu's past in his heart, even if Lao Tzu Liu Shangwu says this, he still can't be truly relieved.

Turning his face sideways to look at Liu Zuochen's frowning brows, Liu Shangwu said, "Chen Xu, he was not a sinister person in the first place. ”

At the beginning of man, nature is good. Truth: Liu Zuochen understands, isn't it reasonable to be close to each other and far away? Liu Zuochen didn't think that he Chen Xu could learn anything good from Li Ziqin. Even Li Gong, a knowledgeable person, was instigated by Li Ziqin to repeatedly commit dangerous and evil deeds.

It's true that the more people he doesn't want to see, the more he is dangling in front of him, and when Liu Zuochen, who was thinking about his heart all the way, raised his head, it was Li Qiang, who had been quite entangled recently, who jumped into his sight. couldn't help but turn his face to look at his father Liu Shangwu, and saw that he actually raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.

"Xiaguan has seen General Liu!" Although Li Gong's face was cold, his words did not have the slightest sense of temperature, and his arched hands trembled slightly while carefully looking at them.

Liu Shangwu glanced at him disdainfully, arched his hands casually, and gently spit out two words, "Waste!" ”

For many years, he had never seen Liu Shangwu speak so unscrupulously and provoked, although Li Gong couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, "General Liu, my duty is to check and search you, offended!" ”

Not offended!? As Li Gong touched his waist with both hands, Liu Shangwu took two steps back and fell to the ground with an "ahhhh

It happened suddenly, Liu Zuochen was also unexpected, and before he arrived at Liu Shangwu's side, Li Gong was already angry, "You ......, frame me!" ”

At this time, Liu Shangwu had already gotten up angrily, and he didn't give him a chance to say more at all, and he fought with Li Gongqi at the city gate with a hungry tiger.

It's worth it!

Liu Zuochen, who was walking forward, was worried, but was dragged by Wu Jiang, "Childe, don't worry!" You should not make a move. ”

Seeing Wu Jiang blinking his eyes, Liu Zuochen stopped struggling and looked at the two people fighting again. At this time, the two of them are already fighting together and are inseparable, and if you slap the tail of the green dragon, he is a trick to catch the moon......

The stunned forbidden troops had never received the order of the commander, and they were quite jealous of Liu Shangwu's identity as a general, so they couldn't help scratching their ears and cheeks, and they didn't dare to rush forward. The presence of Lord Xiao Liu was already at a loss and did not dare to approach, not to mention Princess Ruxuan, who had already heard the movement and rushed over.

"Stop! Stop! ”

Princess Ruxuan, who shouted loudly, never expected such a thing to happen anyway, and she was still a step slower when she shouted.

"Ahh ......" Li Gong, who fell to the ground, hugged his right leg that had broken from his knee, and rolled on the ground wailing. At this time, he had no time to think about why he secretly tested Liu Shangwu's skills a few years ago, and there was a world of difference compared to today.

No accident became a waste leg! Liu Shangwu knows the strength of his feet, and the kneecap is shattered, and the joint capsule has also been destroyed, and there is no doubt that he will be a waste leg in the future.

Clenched his pink fist and turned around and hit Liu Zuochen's chest, I didn't see Liu Zuochen shake his body, but Princess Ruxuan was in tears of pain in her eyes, maybe she felt very helpless and one of the reasons why she cried sadly, "Why don't you stop it!" ”

Seeing the princess crying in a trembling voice, Liu Zuochen felt a little sad in his heart, and glanced at Li Gongzhi who was rolling on the ground, "It's your uncle ......, it's Commander Li who took the lead!" You didn't see it? ”

Of course, Princess Ruxuan didn't see it, and she raised her faintly painful pink fist in her heart and put it down, raising her leg and kicking Liu Zuochen. Turning to look at Grandpa Sun, she saw that her eyes were flashing with a sneering smile, as shrewd as she knew it in her heart.

He didn't go back to the carriage anymore, and went straight to the palace, "If you don't carry it for treatment, when will you wait!?" ”

The forbidden soldiers who came back to their senses remembered that it was their commander who was wailing and rolling around, and rushed up in a panic. The maids who hurried towards their masters, the palace gate was noisy for a while.

……

In the imperial study, there was silence.

As soon as Liu Shangwu entered the house, he knelt down and shouted, "Weichen is guilty!" ”

Listening to Grandpa Sun's narration, the emperor couldn't help but have two big heads! The Liu family is not easy to make a move now, okay! When the old man returned to Kyoto City, he came out for the little one. The wise emperor never believed that Liu Shangwu would be pushed to the ground by Li Gong, hated only that he was the commander of the forbidden army and didn't know the wind way, and the inspection and search was still for the general of the border pass who went to Kyoto alone to restore his life and face the saint, he still needs to be afraid and he needs to do it himself?

The emperor, who was resentful, secretly scolded Li Gong Although he was carried away by hatred, he scolded loudly three times in his heart, "Stupid!" ”

"Flat!"

After receiving the order, Liu Shangwu stood up and secretly glanced at the emperor who was frowning and rubbing his temples. Liu Shangwu just wants to stand up for Liu Zuochen, he wants to give Zhang Kang a shame, he knows the embarrassment of his son's situation, and he also knows how Zhang Kang, who has a strong personality, has been depressed for two years.

Liu Shangwu feels that what should be done should be done without hesitation, and he must not live up to anyone's trust and feelings for him. Even if the emperor did not deliberately woo or entrap Liu Shangwu, Liu Zuochen would still move forward.

"You fought this time, but you added a lot of trouble to me out of thin air!" The emperor smiled bitterly, glanced at Liu Shangwu lightly, and said in his heart, you guy can grasp the opportunity, but he has calculated that I will take care of it and it is not convenient to punish you!

"Weichen, I am willing to ask the Holy Lord to punish you!" Liu Shangwu said this, how could he not know the emperor's distress? Li Guifei is naturally unwilling to give up, crying and crying will not make the emperor uneasy for a period of time, and Li Ziqin, the secretary of the criminal department, must also be crying bitterly to let the emperor uphold justice for his son Li Gong.

"Forget it! At this time, I can't blame you all, a slap can't make a sound! ”

The emperor said and waved his hand to Grandpa Sun.

"What do you think of the secret letter I gave you?" The emperor retracted his gaze at Sun Gonggong closing the door, with a solemn expression.

Before returning to Kyoto, Liu Shangwu received a secret letter from the emperor to the border pass, according to the emperor's will, ready to transfer the border generals, this move seems to be a normal transfer, Liu Shangwu believes that the emperor must have a deep meaning, corresponding to the secret letter sent by Prince Qing After careful consideration, Liu Shangwu felt that the emperor was ready to make a big move.

This is different from the previous changes in military generals, and more has come into contact with deep-rooted military forces, such as Prince Qing, Prince Jing, and the quiet old prince of the previous dynasty - Prince Heng.

Although the officials who are military generals are always not valued by civilian officials, when it comes to the final decisive power to dominate the country, it is still these five big and three thick men who can stabilize the situation with knives and guns, of course, the premise is that someone has to strategize and grasp the situation.

It is precisely based on this that the emperor is also quite cautious.

"Weichen thinks that there is no big problem in mobilizing border generals, the key is ......"

Liu Shangwu said, the face of the observer emperor was speechless and stopped, how could the emperor be holding his forehead with both hands, rubbing his temples with his thumb, it seemed that thinking of the concubine Niangniang and Li Ziqin was about to make trouble, it was really a headache.

"What's the point, just say it!"

"Wei Chen thinks that the saint's wanton mobilization of the head of the border gate will make people feel that their safety will be threatened, will it cause unnecessary trouble?"

The emperor raised his head and smiled slightly. What he was waiting for was Liu Shangwu's analysis and answer, although such a statement insulted the prestige of the peaceful and prosperous world, but such a potential problem did exist, and everyone did not dare to declare it, but everyone was afraid of the emperor's wrath. Since Liu Shangwu dared to speak out, it means that he has already known the forces of all parties and spoke out without selfishness, which can also be temporarily understood as standing on the same front as the emperor.
