Jinyang is divided into two cities, west and east, sandwiched between the middle city, and above Fenshui, there is a wide middle city bridge connecting the two banks, which is convenient for the contact and exchange between the east and west cities.

When night fell, with a little doubt in his heart, Liu Chengyou drove through the squares and pavilions in the city until he was under the bridge. Liu Zhiyuan was invited, and the summoning place was actually on this bridge.

There was still a strange rosy look on his face, but under the shroud of the night, it was not very clear, he was interrupted and summoned at the juncture of in-depth communication with Geng. Although Liu Chengyou belongs to the abstinence male protagonist, he is not cold after all, and when he really wants to vent his desires, he will never be hypocritical.

Under the bridge, I bumped into Liu Chengxun. The brothers got out of the car to take a look at each other, and Liu Chengxun was a little surprised: "Erlang, my father actually called you too?" ”

glanced at Liu Chengxun, Liu Chengyou just nodded indifferently: "Hmm!" ”

Probably because he felt that his question was a little inappropriate, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Liu Chengxun's handsome face, and he hurriedly greeted: "You and I go to the bridge together, don't let my father wait for a long time." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Chengyou still responds like this. When he walked to the front helplessly, Liu Chengyou swayed his steps, followed behind, and his cold gaze fell on Liu Chengxun, but he didn't know if his eldest brother felt a thorn in his back.

Recently, the curfew time in Jinyang City has been much earlier, and the roads in the city are already silent, and there are only inspectors patrolling back and forth. The bridge in the middle of the city is also surprisingly quiet, and there is no hustle and bustle of crowds during the day.

Above and below the bridge, hundreds of royal guards were guarded on the side, alert for possible threats from the surroundings. Liu Zhiyuan stood quietly in the middle of the bridge, leaning against the railing to the south, staring at the passing Fenshui, dressed in a brocade suit and wearing a robe over his shoulders. Looking from behind, Liu Zhiyuan's back is majestic and lonely, and his whole body seems to release the majesty of a domineering person.

"Father!" The brothers came forward to salute and then respectfully stood on either side of them.

Liu Zhiyuan responded softly, and when he looked closer, Liu Chengyou found that Liu Zhiyuan's face did not have the calm and serious expression he imagined. On the contrary, under the illumination of the mottled bridge lights, Liu Zhiyuan looked peaceful.

"I wonder what my father has called us here, what instructions do you have?" The two brothers stood together with their father for a long time, but Liu Chengxun couldn't hold back and asked questions.

Hearing this, Liu Zhiyuan pressed the stone fence with both hands, and said leisurely: "These days, Hedong civil and military, continue to persuade his father to be called the emperor. The crowd was enthusiastic, vying to speak, and by tonight, the list of persuasion books on the Wangfu Gong case was already full! In Lonely's heart, he is a little bottomless. You brothers, what do you think? ”

For his two sons, Liu Zhiyuan did not pretend to be reserved and pretend, but discussed it bluntly. Calling the second son may also have the meaning of taking the school examination.

In the face of Liu Zhiyuan's questioning, Liu Chengxun was a little entangled, and muttered for a while, only while observing his father's eyes, he replied hesitantly: "What the group of officials invited, it is all loyal words, words from the heart, and their wishes, but it is not good to be disobedient." However, after all, the Khitan is powerful, and it is understandable for the father to be cautious, or he can wait and see for a while and wait for the times to change! ”

Liu Zhiyuan didn't look too satisfied with Liu Chengxun's answer, but just sighed: "Those who persuaded him may be loyal, but more, I'm afraid it's for the sake of the dragon's merit and fame and wealth." Thinking that the father's current status may not be difficult to go further, but there is no way back. Since the Tang Dynasty, in Kyushu all over the world, I don't know how many families and surnames have sat on that throne, but in the end, they ended up dying and the country was destroyed......"

Liu Zhiyuan's tone was really a little melancholy, but in Liu Chengyou's opinion, it was a little hypocritical. In front of the emperor's throne, all worries are floating clouds! How many things have risen and fallen since ancient times, how could Liu Zhiyuan really care about that much in his heart, looking forward and looking backwards, it is not his character.

Liu Chengxun obviously couldn't grasp Liu Zhiyuan's mentality, and when he heard his sigh, he opened his mouth to persuade him: "Father's concerns are not unreasonable. But since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people have won the world, you are now the desire of the people, the hope of the people, you are the hero of the world, inheriting the destiny of the heavens, how can you follow in the footsteps of the past and the future? ”

Hearing his words, Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help but tilt his head to look at his son, no matter how he looked at his handsome face, it was a little simple pedantic. sighed silently in my heart: It is not easy to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country......

Liu Chengyou listened silently to the conversation between his father and brother, until Liu Zhiyuan set his eyes on himself, and said very resolutely: "If God doesn't take it, you will be blamed." Hu Kou stole the two capitals, the people of the Central Plains suffered from danger, his father built a claim to be respected, advocated the world, hung the people to cut down crimes, and saved Li Shu, this is a matter of the heavens, why hesitate? ”

Liu Chengyou's words are actually nothing new, Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said without commenting.

However, Liu Chengyou did not deliberately guess and echo Liu Zhiyuan's mentality, but continued to say the truest thoughts in his heart: "Son of Heaven, those who are strong and strong should do it, and they would rather have a kind of yes!" An Chongrong's words are deafening, and they are the truth of this troubled world. Now that the soldiers in Hedong are strong and strong, they are the heads of the feudal domains, and their father has practiced the throne of Emperor Zuo, how dare others disobey it, and how can they not agree! ”

Liu Chengyou's words fell, and a bright color flashed in Liu Zhiyuan's old eyes. Liu Chengxun, the eldest brother on the other side, couldn't help but look at his second brother, stunned.

"Now, my Liu family has a day, and Hedong occupies a favorable area, and the banner of righteousness will be raised, and people will be embraced. With these three, with the wisdom of his father and the strength of Hedong, can't he still succeed? Unconsciously, Liu Chengyou's words became more.

"The right time, the right place, the right people?" Liu Zhiyuan's interest was aroused.

Under Liu Zhiyuan's gaze, Liu Chengyou slowly said: "Putting aside those righteous and awe-inspiring rhetoric, the destruction of the Khitan Jin Dynasty is a disaster for the country and a disaster for the Li people. But for my father, it was a great opportunity. If there is no threat from the Khitan, the suspicion and contradiction between my father and the imperial court in the past years will sooner or later evolve into a sword and soldier meeting, and my father will probably be in the difficult situation of Jin Zu back then, and he will resist the world with a corner. ”

"And now it is not the case, the Khitan disaster in the Central Plains, although my father's name only owns a few states in the east of the river, but when he ascends to the heights, he can gather the hope of the world and gather the strength of a country to resist the Khitan. You can take the country when you enter, and you can keep the family business when you retreat. Don't you understand the disparity? ”

After listening to Liu Chengyou's words, Liu Zhiyuan showed a serious expression. Probably tired of standing, he looked around, directly greeted the second son, and sat on the ground. After sitting down, Liu Zhiyuan looked at Liu Chengyou: "Erlang, if you make such unrighteous remarks in front of others, I will definitely severely reprimand you." But tonight, just you, my father and son, as a father, have to admit that what you said is the truth! ”

Liu Zhiyuan's calm reaction made the corners of Liu Chengyou's mouth twitch, took a breath of the cool air of this spring night, and continued to talk: "The mountains and rivers in Hedong are dangerous, and the location is advantageous, so I don't need to talk about it in detail." As for the people, under the brutality of the Khitan army and horses, how can I, the Chinese people, not unite as one and fight against the enemy? ”
