Zhao Hui, who was a personal soldier in front of Li Cunxuan's account, although it has been more than 20 years, he still retains a bit of awe in his heart for Zhuangzong in the early stage......

It was late at night, two carriages were traveling through the streets of Luoyang, and when the curfew was approaching, the patrol in the neighborhood was much stricter, and on the way there was a wave of patrolling forbidden troops. However, seeing that it was the Baoyi Army and the Jianxiong Army, who were praised and praised by the Son of Heaven in public, they did not dare to interrogate more and offend.

After passing through three lanes one after another, the carriage stopped in front of a calm courtyard, Zhao Hui and Wang Yan got off, and Zhao Hui invited each other to talk. Immediately noticed the situation in front of the house, the middle door was wide open, and under the dim light, a young general led several soldiers and wandered in front of the door, it was Zhao Hui's tooth general.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Hui frowned, stepped forward steadily, and asked the tooth general who came up: "What's the matter." ”

"Jie Shuai, you can come back!" The young tooth general breathed a sigh of relief, his face was still a little anxious, and said, "The Son of Heaven is waiting in the mansion." ”

"What?" Zhao Hui's face changed greatly.

The situation is very simple, that is, Liu Chengyou is "idle" in the palace and has nothing to do, so he came out of the palace to visit Zhao Hui.

The royal driver came to visit the minister in person, and this was Liu Chengyou's first time.

"Why don't you report it early?" Restrained his astonishment, Zhao Hui couldn't help but be angry.

"The Son ......of Heaven said no," the tooth general replied humbly.

"You're so obedient!" Zhao Hui taught a lesson.

At this time, Wang Yan took a deep breath, straightened his robe, and said to Zhao Hui: "Brother Zhao, let's go and face you!" ”

"The Son of Heaven is here, what a great grace ......" Zhao Hui sighed.

Zhao Hui's mansion in Xijing is not luxurious, and even a little ordinary. But this night, all parts of the house, corridors and courtyards, are guarded by the forbidden army in the palace. As for Liu Chengyou, when he received the news of Zhao Hui's return to his home, he was chatting with his son Zhao Yanjin in his hall and consulting about Shaanzhou affairs.

Zhao Yanjin is not yet twenty years old, but he is worthy of being a general, he has a sharp spirit, in front of Liu Chengyou, although he is a little nervous, he can deal with it decently, and it can be seen that his brain is very flexible.

With Liu Chengyou's order in advance, Zhao Hui and Wang Yan hurried over, and after investigating the threat, they went straight to the king.

"Minister Zhao Hui see Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me!" Liu Chengyou glanced at the two.

"Father."

Ignoring his son, Zhao Hui leaned over and arched his hand: "How can Your Majesty come in person, the minister is really afraid." Tired Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, minister, minister...... Please punish Your Majesty. ”

Regardless of whether he pretended to be or not, in the face of Liu Chengyou, a young genius, Zhao Hui had a very good attitude.

Liu Chengyou is wearing a regular suit, but after being the emperor for more than a month, his prestige has gradually increased, and he has always been serious, and his power is very strong.

"Zhao Qing, it doesn't have to be like this. On the contrary, I took the liberty to visit and disturb your house. Liu Chengyou said calmly.

"Don't dare."

looked at Wang Yan again: "Wang Qing is also there?" ”

"Your Majesty." Wang Yan saluted again.

"I don't have to make another trip!" Liu Chengyou waved his hand, sniffled, seemed to smell the smell of wine on the two of them, and said: "Tonight, Hou Envoy, the one who entertains the second secretary must be fine wine......

Hearing this, the two immediately said in unison: "Please forgive your majesty." ”

"Erqing doesn't have to be like this." Liu Chengyou ordered the entourage to serve a small jar of wine, and said: "I came to the door today and also brought a jar of wine, which I drank with Erwei, this is a good wine from Xinghua Village, can Erqing be interested?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao and Wang glanced at each other, and they both saw the stunned in each other's eyes, paying attention to Liu Chengyou's calm posture that was very different from ordinary people, and they were more cautious about this young man in their hearts.

Liu Chengyou looked for Zhao Hui, naturally he didn't really look for Zhao Hui to drink, so he ordered someone to simply prepare some meat and talk about eating, drinking. After brewing the atmosphere a little, holding a cup in front of his waist with one hand and his waist with the other hand, Liu Chengyou sighed: "Last year, the enemy rode long and fell into the two capitals, and the Shi family could not defend China. When the second secretary first changed in the suburbs of Shaanxi, he jointly supported the righteous act, so that my father made up his mind to raise troops. Therefore, the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the two Qing and powerful! ”

For the two, Liu Chengyou spoke highly of them. But because of this, the two hesitated: "Your Majesty has an overreputation, and the ministers really dare not be." ”

Seeing the expressions and reactions of the two veterans, only one word came to Liu Chengyou's mind: flattered.

"When the Han Dynasty was first established, it collapsed in the sky, and I bowed down to inherit the unification. However, since he was shallow in virtue, he has been worried all night since he succeeded to the throne. Around the Han Dynasty, surrounded by wolves, there are Khitan tigers in the north, Meng Shu in the west, Gao's repeated in the south, the pseudo-Tang Dynasty harbors evil intentions, and there are party items in the northwest. Internally, the people's livelihood is withering, all industries are not prosperous, and it is difficult to suppress the ......"

"I think about the poverty and poverty of the country, and I have the heart to govern, but under the internal and external troubles, I am depressed and have almost no clue. Since the western tour, it is still insufficient to investigate the people's livelihood and control corruption. And when you come to Beijing, I know that if you want to defend the country, you need a general like Erqing. ”

In the face of Liu Chengyou's compliments several times, Zhao Hui and Wang Yan seemed more careful.

"Recently, I have often thought that if we want to make the country stable for a long time, we must eliminate internal troubles and fight foreign affairs. However, if you go outside, you must first settle ...... inside."

In the face of Liu Chengyou's "heart-to-heart" words, Zhao Hui and the others slowly entered the state.

"The external troubles are well known, but I don't know what Your Majesty means by this internal trouble?" Zhao Hui asked.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou turned around, turned the rim of the cup with two fingers, and stared at Zhao Hui with a focused gaze: "Zhao Qing really doesn't know?" ”

"Your Majesty, please."

Before Liu Chengyou could speak, Wang Yan took the initiative to speak: "What Your Majesty is referring to, Li Shouzhen in the river, Xue Huairang in the same state?" ”

Paying attention to Wang Yan's grim expression, Liu Chengyou was slightly surprised, this Wang envoy is obviously not as smooth as Zhao Hui. After drinking the wine in the cup, Liu Chengyou raised his head and looked at the faint moon in the night sky, and sighed faintly: "Fang Zhen is the foundation of the country, Zhujiedu is the Han Dynasty guarding the world, and I am the Son of Heaven, so I should not be arrogant and jealous." For the Li clan in the river, I and the imperial court have been gracious and encouraging many times. However, for a long time, I have heard of his unusual movements, and I have always been worried in my heart. ”

"Pu, with the two states, separated by a water, with and Guanyou, is an important place in the country. If it changes, it will inevitably affect Guan You. The country was initially decided, and the people of the world have not lived a few days of stable life, and I really don't want the disaster of swords and soldiers to arise again. However, I had to prepare early. ”

Hearing Liu Chengyou say this, Zhao Hui and Wang Yan immediately lifted their spirits.

"His heart is unknown, if the Li family is difficult to suppress dissent and blatantly rebels in Puzhou, then I will not hesitate to calm it down." As he spoke, Liu Chengyou turned around abruptly and stared at the two: "The three prefectures of Jin, Jiang, and Shaanxi are divided into north and south to the river. I asked Erqing, if there is a rebellion in the river, are you willing to defend it for me? ”

In the face of Liu Chengyou's straightforward question, how else could the two react, without much hesitation, they spoke one after another:

"I am willing to be loyal to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, but you have a life, and you will never give up!"
