Geng's body was weak and couldn't withstand the toss, so he let her go after a little fun. In the sage mode, Liu Chengyou really feels like a philosopher, with a clear mind, a vast cisteria, a huge pattern, his eyes release the light of wisdom, and he can come up with a set of truths when he sees anything......

Then, the exhaustion came like a torrent, the neck was tickled by the rubbing of the hair, and the soft murmur of the beauty was in the ear. From Geng's mouth, there are many parents who are short, from Jinyang to Kaifeng's experience, life in the house, rewards in the palace, exchanges with Tokyo ladies, and so on. What can't be concealed between words and demeanor is the longing for Liu Chengyou and the joy of his return.

In the final analysis, Geng's family is just a concubine, and her background is not good, when Liu Chengyou is not around, she is basically helpless and insecure, Liu Chengyou feels at ease when he comes back. And Liu Chengyou can also feel the attachment of the beauty next to the pillow to himself.

For Liu Chengyou, that kind of little woman's telling gave him new feelings, he didn't feel bored, and he responded to a sentence or two from time to time, lingering, and the depression in his heart did dissipate a lot, until, falling asleep.

When Liu Chengyou woke up, it was already dark, and under Geng's service, he bathed in clothes, washed off the odor and dirt left on his body, and changed into clean clothes.

"It's cold at night." Geng was very considerate and put on a robe for Liu Chengyou.

This woman is very attentive, but very natural, and she has never taken her eyes off Liu Chengyou. In the hall, some food was prepared, the dishes were not complicated, Liu Chengyou's favorite tofu, egg custard, fried Chinese cabbage and a plate of roast mutton, plus a bowl of small rice, very pleasing to Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou has never been a picky eater, but in fact, he can be satisfied with a bowl of tofu to eat.

"Where did all these ingredients come from?" Liu Chengyou asked casually.

Geng replied: "It's all taken care of by Li Po, and someone will send it to the door every day." ”

Liu Chengyou nodded, and the chopsticks stopped: "I don't know how many people in Kaifeng City can buy these dishes normally." ”

Geng estimated that he had also heard of the situation in the city of Tokyo, and when he heard Liu Chengyou's emotional tone, he couldn't help but comfort: "It will get better, during this time, the city and outside have been much more stable." ”

"Would you like to eat some too?"

"The concubine is not hungry." With beautiful eyes, Geng made up his mind to watch Liu Chengyou eat.

"Your Highness, Tao Gu and Wei Renpu, two officials, came to visit the mansion." After not eating a few bites of food, the guards reported in front of the hall.

"The two of you are visiting together?" Liu Chengyou asked.

"I only know that the two of them arrived at the same time."

Liu Chengyou instructed: "Bring them to this hall to talk." ”

"The concubine stepped back first." Seeing this, Geng got up leisurely and avoided it. Liu Chengyou nodded at her, this woman's well-behaved made him feel very comfortable.

In the partial hall of the mansion, Tao Gu and Wei Renpu looked at each other, slightly surprised, his shrewd eyes swept over Wei Renpu, and asked in a tone that looked like a junior: "Dao Ji, you came to the mansion this time, it was very fast, have you settled down at home?" ”

Tao Gu was a little old-fashioned, and his questions were a little unkind, but Wei Renpu didn't care, and replied freely: "In Tokyo, I am alone, and there is nothing to worry about." ”

"The old man has heard that before the destruction of Hu Kou in the previous dynasty, Daoji sent all your wives back to the township, but now you think about it, but you have the foresight to protect your family from the disaster of displacement. In this world, there are absolutely very few people with such vision. It's no wonder that you can have such trust from His Highness, His Highness knows people......" Tao Gu stared at Wei Renpukua, and the last sentence was pronounced extremely strongly.

Wei Renpu remained modest: "Tao Gong praised it falsely, and he didn't dare to be ashamed." ”

"Two, Your Highness is waiting in the hall, please follow the end." In the middle of chatting, Li Chongju appeared and guided the two.

"There's General Lau Lee." Tao Gu was the first to get up, with a smile on his face.

The two followed Li Chongju in the mansion and walked, zigzag the corridor, turned around several times, and saw the pavilion all the way, which was very noble. Tao Gu sighed a little, the envy in the depths of his pupils could barely be hidden, and Wei Renpu's face was as usual.

In the hall, Liu Chengyou had only eaten half of his meal, and immediately saluted.

"Excuse me, sit."

"Your Highness."

Liu Chengyou put down the knife that cut meat, stuffed a piece of delicate and crisp yellow mutton into his mouth, wiped his greasy mouth and hands, and said, "You came just in time, I am deliberately discussing something with you." ”

Hearing this, Tao Gu's expression moved, leaned down sideways, observed Liu Chengyou's expression, and guessed shrewdly: "Could it be related to the matter of the face saint?" ”

"As Tao Gong said, the crackdown has arrived." Liu Chengyou looked at Tao Gu, didn't sell Guanzi, replied directly, and then briefly told the two of them the result of entering the palace to face the saint.

After listening to Liu Chengyou's description, Tao Gu had an expression that was really like this, as I expected, his waist slowly straightened up, and he said: "This matter has long been expected, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about it, but I didn't expect that the Son of Heaven would be so anxious." ”

For some reason, Liu Chengyou always felt that Tao Gu was a little proud when he said this.

"Your Majesty's move, the purpose of reducing power and suppression, is almost clear in front of you. However, if it can be said to have much effect, it is not necessarily, His Royal Highness's prestige has been sung by the world, and it can be eliminated by this means. For the reorganization of the forbidden army, His Royal Highness only needs to contact Guo Shumi, he is Guo Rong's father, and with this relationship, it must not be difficult to win over. Through Guo Shumi's influence, how can the matter of the whole army completely avoid you. In addition, if you control these old parts of the Longqi Army, you will not be afraid of anything else, and the Longqi Army will still be in your hands......"

After listening to Tao Gu's words, Liu Chengyou couldn't help frowning, a little dissatisfied with his suggestion, and always felt that he was too eager for quick success and not very stable.

Seeing that Liu Chengyou didn't react, Tao Gu froze, the smile on his lips disappeared, and he subconsciously picked up his beard.

Liu Chengyou looked at Wei Renpu: "What does Mr. Wei think?" ”

Hearing this, Wei Renpu pondered for a moment and replied, "My subordinates think that it is better to be quiet than to move." His Royal Highness's response is already good, and the rectification of the forbidden army is a matter of social safety, and from the perspective of the overall situation, it should be fully supported, and there is no need to be too careful. Your Majesty's arrangement is to reduce your military power, and you have the idea of suppression, if Your Highness makes too many moves, wouldn't it be against the Son of Heaven? ”

"As for the military academies of the Longqi Army, His Royal Highness regards them as brothers and sisters, and the friendship of attaching equal importance to grace and might, bloody battlefields, and fighting side by side for half a year, how can it be eliminated in a short time, why do you need superfluous means to control them, you just need to maintain them as usual. Too many movements, good or not, anti-suspicious ......"

After Wei Renpu finished speaking, Tao Gu's face was ugly, this almost completely rejected his suggestion, where could he be happy. However, after thinking about it carefully, I have to admit that Wei Renpu's words are not unreasonable. When he put aside his utilitarian heart, Tao Gu's mind was still very clear and insightful.

"Am I just going to do nothing?" Liu Chengyou asked.

"Taoguang Yanghui!" Wei Renpu replied: "Since Your Majesty has appointed you as a privy deputy envoy, you can participate in military affairs as usual. Besides, the Longqi Army is in hand, but it is only the Longqi Army. If it is reorganized, it will affect the entire forbidden army! ”

"But, Shi Hongzhao is this person!" Liu Chengyou expressed his concerns: "This person is arrogant, if the military power is fully paid in the hands of this person, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to control in the future!" ”

Tao Gu saw the opportunity to interject, and he looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom: "As a commander, he is arrogant and arrogant, and he is often jealous of the master." If Shi doesn't know how to rein, how long can the Son of Heaven tolerate him, sooner or later, he will bring disaster upon himself. ”

Liu Chengyou thought for a moment and sighed: "It seems that in this Tokyo, I have to keep a low profile." ”

"There is no specific charter for the reorganization, and we still need to wait and see what the result will be, Your Highness is really unnecessary, too much to worry about." Wei Renpu said again.

"I see." Liu Chengyou nodded, but his eyebrows remained staring.

Seeing that Wei Renpu was currying favor again in front of Liu Chengyou, Tao Gu pondered for a while, and spoke a little cautiously: "What Your Highness should be concerned about at this time should be Your Majesty's purpose in suppressing you......"

"What do you want to say?" Looking at his eyes, Liu Chengyou asked directly.

"Although the Han Dynasty is standing, the position of the East Palace is vacant, and His Royal Highness is also a son-in-law, so it is necessary to make plans as soon as possible." Tao Gu said cautiously.

When these words fell, Wei Renpu couldn't help but look up at Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou didn't show surprise, nor did he say anything to show his attitude, just waved his hand indifferently and asked the two to go back to rest. As for himself, he continued to pick up the knife and cut the already slightly cold mutton, his face expressionless, but his heart couldn't help but fluctuate.

"Your Highness." Later, in the spacious study, Liu Chengyou was pondering, and Li Chongju walked in.

"What?"

Li Chongju replied: "When Mr. Fang Cai Tao left, he quietly found the last general, saying that his mansion in Kaifeng was occupied by the commander of a Wujie military camp, and he couldn't ask for it. He didn't dare to bother His Highness with this trivial matter, so he found me, hoping that I could go and help him get it back. The last general felt that this matter still needed to be reported to His Highness. ”

"Tao Gu is relaying this to me through your mouth." Liu Chengyou reacted immediately.

Looking at Li Chongju's expression, it can be seen that he is estimated to have a clear heart, although he is honest, he is also shrewd: "Your Highness, look, how to deal with this matter?" ”

"Where does Tao Gu stay?"

"Temporarily staying at his friend's house."

"The battalion commander of the Wujie Army, the people under Shi Hongzhao." Liu Chengyou said lightly, he had a plan in his heart, and directly ordered: "You take a few guards tomorrow, take the deed, find a good witness, accompany Tao Gu to a trip, and help him get the house back!" ”

"Yes!"

The matter of Tao Valley, for Liu Chengyou, is just a trivial matter, not a big deal. However, the people involved in Shi Hongzhao, hehe, even if they are reasonable, I don't know if the Shi Du commander will be arrogant!

Li Chongju respectfully retreated, looking at his back, Liu Chengyou suddenly called him.

"What else does Your Highness command?"

Liu Chengyou's originally tense expression relaxed, and said to him: "The general affairs of the house, you should also worry more about it in the future, don't just treat yourself as a guard!" ”

Li Chongju was stunned for a moment, and then his ordinary face became even more ordinary, and he bowed for a long time: "Yes." ”

......

Like Liu Chengyou, Liu Zhiyuan also rewarded Liu Chengxun with a mansion outside the imperial city, which is not far from Liu Chengyou's side, just across a mile.

The night was still early, not like ordinary people, far from the time to rest, Liu Chengxun sat behind the bookcase, holding a lamp to look at the civil affairs reported by the states and counties of the two capitals. After Liu Chengxun returned to the dynasty, he was appointed by Liu Zhiyuan as a Zhongshu squire, a political order, and a Tongping chapter, and was responsible for comforting the people's livelihood and returning the people to rest because of the flood of displaced refugees.

Liu Chengxun already has a benevolent style, and on the way to Tokyo, he has also seen too many people's suffering, and he is also very sympathetic to those people in the Liangjing area. When he was entrusted with this matter, he didn't think much about "buying people's hearts", but just wanted to help solve the livelihood problem of the displaced people.

Tightly wrapped in a robe, he looked cold, coughed a few times from time to time, and the muffled sound from his throat was a little heavy. In the past few days, the cold and heat alternated, one didn't pay attention, caught a cold, and has been recuperating in the house, and Liu Zhiyuan also allowed him to work in the house. When Liu Chengyou returned today, he wanted to greet him, but he felt unwell, so he gave up.

"Your Highness, Yang Shu asks to see you!" Liu Chengxun looked at the official document seriously, his brows were tightly locked, his face was solemn, and an attendant walked outside the curtain and interrupted him.

Hearing the report, Liu Chengxun immediately ordered: "Please." ”

After a while, Yang Wei walked into the room under the guidance of the chamberlain, and Liu Chengxun personally greeted him and said, "Yang Xianggong." ”

"Your Highness."

After saying hello, the two sat down and served tea.

"How are you doing?" Yang asked.

Liu Chengxun replied with a smile: "It's okay, I feel cold occasionally, just rest for a while." ”

"Xianggong is visiting this night, what is the so-called?" The two of them are also very familiar, and they don't look up in the court, and after a little greeting, Liu Chengxun asked directly.

"Your Highness, the second prince is back!" Yang Wei said with a serious face.

Liu Chengxun coughed lightly twice, with a little smile on the corner of his mouth: "I know, I should have entered the palace to see the driver, and I was planning to invite Erlang to come over tomorrow." ”

Seeing Liu Chengxun's reaction, Yang Wei frowned, and repeated in an accentuated voice: "Your Highness, the second prince is back!" ”

At this moment, Liu Chengxun finally felt that something was wrong, and looked at Yang Wei suspiciously: "What does Xianggong want to say?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, the second prince is returning with immortal merits, and his momentum is in the sky, you have to prepare early!" After taking a breath, Yang Wei lowered his voice again and said.

Hearing his words, Liu Chengxun's face changed, he was not stupid, he was silent for a while, and then asked, "What does Xianggong want to say?" ”

Yang Wei was very happy, and he didn't beat around the bush, and said: "Your Highness, you are the eldest son, and you are respected by the ministers, and you have a good name, so you are the best candidate for the heir. But in the past year, the two princes have been enlightened and participated in military politics, and this time they have made a great name in Hebei and made great achievements. This is a great threat to your position, and you must not—"

"Xianggong has said this!" Liu Chengxun didn't wait for Yang Wei to finish speaking, and directly interrupted him: "Erlang is young, he is exhausted, and he returns from a hundred battles, which is a great contribution to the country. The Han Dynasty is prosperous, just as my father and son and the ministers are working together to create a good fortune and help the world and the people. As the prime minister, Xiang Gong adheres to the military and politics, the Son of Heaven on the top, and the people on the Limin, how can he be suspicious of Erlang! ”

Listening to Liu Chengxun's rhetoric, Yang Wei was a little shocked, and wanted to teach a lesson about "naivety", but seeing Liu Chengxun's righteous face, he was a little speechless.

After a short pause, he organized the language and said, "Your Highness is lenient and benevolent, but I don't know what people think?" If it weren't for the great ambition and respect, how could he take the risk and experience the arrow stone from the military affairs? When you mentioned helping the world and the people, did you remember the story of Tang Taizong? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Chengxun's expression was completely uncontrollable, a little ugly.

Yang Wei continued: "Now, the official family has not yet established a prince, which gives the second prince a chance to peep. If Your Highness is not vigilant, I am afraid that it will take advantage of it! ”

"Enough!" Liu Chengxun seemed to be angry, flicked his sleeves, and became angry at Yang Wei very rarely: "Xianggong, is this my brother's affection?" ”

"I don't dare." Yang Wei's face is not good-looking, but he is not hard to top after all.

Liu Chengxun was emotional, and he couldn't help coughing a few times, and finally eased up. But seeing Yang Wei sitting there sullenly, Liu Chengxun thought for a while, and restrained his anger: "It's too important to talk about loneliness, don't mind the minister." ”

Yang Wei shook his head.

Liu Chengxun could feel Yang Wei's kindness to him, and it was really hard to blame him, so he thought about it and said: "Father is not Tang Gaozu, Erlang is not Li Shimin, Lonely, and he is not Prince Yin. ”

Liu Chengxun said very calmly, but from his tone, Yang Wei still felt a trace of fluctuation, obviously, Liu Chengxun didn't care at all.
