Liu Sheng felt strange in his heart, and he didn't dare to delay.

Just in order to welcome the holy decree, he wore official uniforms, and hurriedly called someone to prepare a car and prepare to enter the palace.

Liu Sheng left in a hurry and hung Liu Yu there, and the house suddenly exploded.

The third prince did a big thing today, the capital shook, and His Majesty still had a reward.

As the second son, the third prince was named a guard who was generally only awarded to the eldest son of the lord.

The prince received the decree and entered the palace.

These three things were connected together, and the Guogong Mansion immediately exploded, and rumors and speculations spread for a while.

Could it be that this is to let the third prince attack the lord?

As soon as Liu Sheng left, Liu Yu was left, like a salted fish that was put on a stone and exposed to the sun, at a loss.

The people in the house are good at listening to books and reading books, and they are inevitably romantic.

Liu Yu's mind was sober, and he said a few words in the palace, not because of these few words, he could mess up the feudal etiquette and let himself be a knight.

It's pure dreaming. Unless he is the illegitimate son of the emperor......

What does it mean when the Holy Decree says that he is not clear and says that he will serve before the frontier army?

It is estimated that my father is now in the palace for this matter.

Thinking about this matter before my father comes back, it will definitely make me uneasy, and it's hard to say what the eldest brother and sister-in-law will think.

I was afraid that I would not be able to resist it, so I thought about it, so I simply went to the backyard and hid in my mother's house.

"Amitabha, my son, this time I have a heart. Knowing that the mother was worried, the matter was over, and she actually knew that she would come to me to take a look. ”

As cordial as usual, Liu Yu's mother beckoned him to sit down.

Hearing her mother say this, Liu Yu was a little embarrassed.

I am a heartless person, if it weren't for the inquiries of my brother and sister-in-law, and the messy rumors in the house, I would only feel that my mother knew everything in the back hall, and I didn't need to go to see it at all......

Sitting next to his mother, she smiled and boasted, "I've heard everything about the front." At a young age, His Majesty was rewarded and selected as a guard. Our mid-autumn family banquet is going to have a good time. It's you, but you can have a snack in the future. You are messing around, how do you know that we are parents, and we are scared half to death? ”

Liu Yu didn't fake it, shook his head and smiled: "My son is wrong, this is the only thing, not an example." The son came this time to see his mother, so that she would not be worried; It's also to hide from the gossip. My father said that in a few days he would clean up the houses on the west side, build a wall, and open a small door. But now my father hurriedly entered the palace, just afraid that there would be a commotion in the house. ”

Outside the male lead, inside the female lead.

In this family matter, Liu Yu's mother is clear, snorted and smiled: "Now that your father is still here, I am still in charge of the family's affairs, where is the trouble?" Since you want to be as pure as possible, hide here and be pure. It's all a small thing, Yu'er, but there's one thing I need to talk to you about. ”

"Mother, please speak."

"What did you say today in the palace? Why did you choose to be a Captain? ”

After telling everything that happened in the palace, the mother frowned and listened, thinking about the content of the holy decree just now, and her brows tightened.

Liu Yu saw her mother frowning and thinking hard, and asked, "Mother thinks there is something wrong?" ”

"Hmmm......"

The mother raised her head, looked at Liu Yu carefully, and said leisurely: "There is nothing wrong with it." Before your uncle became a knight, he also went to the army for several years. In that year's war with Dzungaria, many people died in the family of the old noble soldiers. When I was young, I remembered that there were hundreds of families in the inner city who were filial piety, and my parents were worried every day. ”

"But in the end, it's all right, for the noble, if you don't know the soldiers, what's the use? Now your uncle is out of the southwest of the town, and your majesty is also because of your uncle's training in the past. ”

As the saying goes, taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. The matter of succession is not only a society, but also a family. Your Majesty chose you as a guard and let you serve in the frontier army, which I have an allusion to. So frowning, not because I felt that there was something wrong, but when I thought of that allusion, I couldn't help but worry. ”

Before, Liu Yu felt that her mother was similar to the old aunt in the village, and the picture scrolls of Confucianism, Taoism, Ye, and Shi in the house were hung harmoniously together, and she was also the spirit of a standard middle-aged mother when she spoke.

Who would have thought that my mother would still have such an awareness, let alone understand what my mother's so-called allusions were.

"Yu'er, you said that you wrote a book "A Brief Examination of Western Kingdoms" at the Duke of Qi, right?"

"Yes."

"When you talk about this, I think of one thing from the previous Ming Dynasty. During the Wanli period of the former Ming Dynasty, Li Yangong, Marquis of Linhuai, and his son Li Zongcheng also wrote a book called "Japanese National Examination". ”

Wanli and Japan, these two things are connected, Liu Yu naturally thought of the battle of Wanli to aid Korea, his heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "This is before Japan's national customs rebellion?" Afterwards? ”

"Before."

Liu Yu realized something, and asked again: "This Linhuai Marquis...... Which one is it from? Sealed by the founding of the former Ming Dynasty? ”

"Hmm. Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Li Wenzhong, named Cao Guogong. His son Li Jinglong, you should know his story in the Battle of Jingyan. After that, during the Jiajing period, the Li family was crowned a Marquis of Linhuai. It coincided with Japan's rebellion and invasion of Korea. ”

"Wanli wants to entitle the Japanese state Guan Bai as the king of Japan to appease, knowing that this matter is no better than canonizing elsewhere, and it is necessary to select the military generals to go to avoid intimidation from Japan. It just so happened that Li Zongcheng and Li Yangong wrote "Japan's National Examination", and everyone in the world said: The person who knows Japan best in the court is not the Marquis of Linhuai. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yu had already learned to answer, and said in amazement: "So, Li Zongcheng, the son of Li Yangong, is a guard and makes Japan? ”

Mother nodded, then shook her head again.

"There is another way to say this. At that time, the Japanese state was in turmoil, and Li Zongcheng was overjoyed, thinking that he would eventually be useful, and once said: By taking advantage of this matter, the ancestor Cao Guogong was crowned. Li Zongcheng went to Japan as a guard, but Li Yangong was also operating behind the scenes, so that everyone knew that Li Zongcheng was familiar with Japanese affairs. Unlike you, your father didn't say that you Liu Yu knew about Western affairs everywhere. ”

After that, he stretched out his finger and tapped Liu Yu's nose, and said dotingly: "On the contrary, it is you who make your own claims and promote it everywhere." It made me even more troubled, and I was worried for most of the day. ”

After being spoiled, his expression gradually became serious.

"Take history as a mirror, and know Your Majesty's mind. Now that you've heard this, you might as well listen to what follows. Li Zongcheng wanted to take advantage of this incident to regain the knighthood of his ancestor Cao Guogong, he was ambitious and ambitious, and when he was about to travel, he also held Zhang Bowang and Ban Dingyuan's heart. ”

"Everyone wants to be Zhang Bowang and Ban Dingyuan, but not everyone is as bold as Zhang Bowang and Ban Dingyuan. When Li Zongcheng arrived in Busan, he saw that the Japanese soldiers were brutal, so he fled, and even left the words of 'laughing at the distant people'. ”

"Whoever is famous in history must have something bold and outstanding. Ordinary people read books, and they have the ambition of Wen Tianxiang. When it came to the end, I realized that I was just Qian Qianyi and the like. ”

"If I guess correctly, this time Your Majesty promoted you to be a guard and made you serve in front of the army. Although it is not explicitly stated, it must be related to the Rakshasa country. Although I am at home, I also know that the Duke of Qi is going to receive the Rakshasa Mission, and you have written "A Brief Examination of Western Kingdoms", which is based on the old affairs of Li Zongcheng in the former Ming Dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yu also suddenly realized that this should be right.

I don't know much about the old things of the previous dynasty, and I know a little about it, but in some details, it is too far behind.

It's just her mother's words that really surprised Liu Yu.

After more than a month, I have seen my mother many times, but my mother is a very kind woman in her forties.

It's nothing more than a middle-aged woman who gave herself money, disliked that cocoa was not delicious, and hung in the house with Mary sending her son Tuga Laozi to pass the letter and opening her mouth to Amitabha.

Who would have thought that he was also a person who had read history books and could learn from history.

The mother's expression gradually became serious, and finally she said, "My son, since you have chosen such a path, you should be prepared. Let me ask you, are you ready? ”

"Are you willing to endure the bitter cold of the frontier?"

"The Rakshasas are fierce, and there are many rumors of cannibalism, dealing with them, you may be able to stand up straight, sit firmly, and not fall into the spirit of the country?"

"Whoever is in battle will be in danger. In the first war in the northwest of that year, the noble soldiers in the inner city hung filial piety and wore white, can you really see the blood and not escape? ”

"Even though I am a woman, I understand the truth that my parents and sons have far-reaching plans. The son of the master, the relatives of the flesh and blood, still can't rely on the respect of no merit, no hard work, and have kept the weight of gold and jade, and the situation is subordinate? ”

"If you are ready, then you will go to the end of this road, go out, and take advantage of this east wind to fight for another title. You can learn from the class Dingyuan, don't follow Li Zongcheng! ”

"If you are scared and don't want to go, I will also go to the palace to see my mother, and then let your father write to Your Majesty, and spare you from your errand. In the future, I will be safe and steady, and I will be a free rider. ”

The loud question, accompanied by the mother's standing up, was full of seriousness.

Liu Yu thought for a moment and said angrily: "My son wants to follow Zhang Bowang and Ban Dingyuan. ”

"Hmm."

Liu Yu said with great pride, but the mother only replied lightly.

Looking at Liu Yu's resolute expression, his heart was a little sour.

She grew up in the family of the prince, and her brother was intimate since she was a child, and she didn't know how many times she heard about her brother going to the northwest to practice, and she also experienced the scene of the northwest defeat of the world's soldiers and nobles in the capital hanging filial piety and wearing the Bai family's crying.

The bitter cold of the frontier and the danger in front of the army, such a story may only have a vague impression in others, but here she has heard it many times since she was a child.

Now that his son has chosen such a path, how can he not feel distressed?

With a long sigh, he looked back at the colorful scroll pictures hanging on the wall, and prayed secretly in his heart.

"Moral Celestial, Buddha, Virgin Mary, Queen Mother...... I only ask you to take care of my family Yu'er, don't have any blood, and be safe. If it really doesn't go well, I beg you, tell him not to go to a dead end, but to run when he should run and run away. ”

…………

About dinner time, as Liu Yu's mother expected, that strange holy decree was really related to the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Yiguo Gong came back from the palace, and Qi Guogong came with him. Thinking of Qi Guogong's errand, it can be regarded as clear.

The maid hurriedly ran over to report the news, but her face was discolored, in addition to Qi Guogong's visit, there was not very good news.

"Madam, Guogong is angry with Qi Guogong in the study. I don't know what it's for, we can't go forward, we have important things to discuss. But far away, I heard the sound of ping-pong smashing the flower screen in the study. We didn't dare to go over, so we had to repay my wife. ”

Got into a fight?

Liu Yu's mother was slightly stunned, and then relieved.

"What's the panic? Even if you fight, you are not afraid. This is in our family, and the master can't suffer a loss. It's a few bottles and cans, what's it worth? Do not come to them, and tell them, and do not be astonished. ”

"Yes."

The maid answered and hurried back.

The mother smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I guessed half right." This errand is not that simple, otherwise why would your father be angry? ”
