In the northwest of Kaifeng, on the Bianhe River, a huge official ship came through the waves, and the surrounding people's boats and merchants were dwarfed by it, and they almost did not dare to go side by side. On the mast there was a knot, and the armor was rampant, and the guards were very guarded.

On board the boat, it was naturally Li Shaoyou and Liu Chong's family, this line. From Zezhou to Heyang in the south, Yu Mengjin turned to the waterway, galloping all the way up the river, and the speed was naturally much faster.

In the cabin, Li Shaoyou was personally taking care of his little widow, looking at the beauty's weak state and delicate appearance, it was really distressing, releasing his pity and cherishing jade.

"How can people who grew up on the edge of the Fen River not know the nature of the water and have such serious seasickness!" Touching the back of his hand against his pale face, Li Shaoyou said.

Mei Jiao Niang seemed to lack strength, but she still accompanied her smiling face and said: "Although the concubine's body is long at the water's edge, she is only in the shallow water of the river beach, and she uses the spring water of the well tank. It's dragged Lang Jun, please forgive me! ”

"It's okay!" Li Shaoyou spoke softly, and said to him: "You are lying down, and you are almost in Tokyo, after returning home, you will recuperate!" ”

"Yes!" The beauty said timidly.

Li Shaoyou's wife died not long after arriving in Tokyo, and she did not share the life of wealth and wealth, and she did not continue to renew the strings after that. Up to now, there are more than 30 concubines in his county mansion.

But now, for this new favorite, he feels a little different, although he is a little widow, but he just likes it, not an ordinary concubine, just to warm the bed and vent his desires, and pass on the lineage......

He walked out of the cabin, summoned an attendant, and asked, "How is the king of Taiyuan?" ”

"Back to the county, after the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, it has improved!" The person replied: "The king of Taiyuan is close to the sixtieth year, the southward journey is very urgent, the boat and car are tired, and he suffered from the cold last night, so there is a branch!" ”

nodded, and thought in his heart, the big change is also a cause. directly ordered: "Good life waiting, I'm going to Tokyo soon, can't go wrong!" ”

"The little one understands!"

In Li Shaoyou's heart, he silently muttered, even if you die, don't die on the road......

Tokyo's inner and outer ports have always been busy, with good weather and more frequent travel by government and ships. One of the achievements of Yin Murong Yanchao of Kaifeng Prefecture is to strengthen the management of various ports, increase the number of tax collectors, and cooperate with inspections, so that the hundreds of ships and thousands of sails are also in order.

Under the guidance of the patrol boat, the shore landed, and the port here was specially vacated, with soldiers standing guards, high flags, and other rites and music, Feng Dao and several officials of the Ministry of Rites were waiting.

Escorted by the soldiers, dozens of Liu Chong's family stepped off the pedal and landed on land. I don't know if it's the fatigue of the journey, or the fear of going to Beijing to be executed, most of them are calm, and the female dependents are crying.

However, the festive music made the scene less bleak. Li Shaoyou stepped forward to salute, Feng Dao didn't dare to slack off on this duke, and respectfully replied: "The return of the county duke's mission has been hard work!" ”

"Feng Xiang, this is?" Pointing to the battle on the port, Li Shaoyou asked.

Flicking his beard, Feng Dao said: "On the orders of Your Majesty, come to meet the King of Taiyuan!" ”

"Oh!" Li Shaoyou's face showed a strange expression, thoughtful.

Looking at Liu Chong behind him, Feng Dao greeted him with a smile on his face. Liu Chong was dressed in plain silk, with a flamboyant beard, uncared for, described as withered, skinny as firewood, and had long been no longer in Hedong, and his power was unstoppable, just like an ordinary old man who was about to die.

"Who are you?" Looking at Feng Dao of the "Immortal Wind Dao Bone", Liu Chong asked, his voice a little hoarse.

Feng Dao waved his hand and saluted: "Old Feng Dao, I've seen the king!" ”

"It turned out to be Zai Yuanqian!" Liu Chong nodded and asked, "Feng Xianggong, did you come in person and throw Gu into prison?" ”

"The king laughed!" The smile on Feng Dao's face did not decrease, and he pointed to the pomp behind him and said, "How can there be a person who welcomes the criminals with the gift of music and colorful flags." His Majesty heard that the king had come to Tokyo to meet him, and he specially ordered the old man to welcome him and wash the dust for the king's family! ”

"Really?" Hearing this, Liu Chong's originally gloomy eyes suddenly brightened a little, and he subconsciously raised his voice and asked, "Is this what the emperor means?" ”

"How dare the old man pass on the king's life?" Feng Dao smiled heartily.

"The Ministry of Rites has prepared a guest post and a wine feast, just wait for the king to enter the table, and when you are full of food and drink, you will march to the palace and meet Your Majesty!" Feng Dao raised his hand and stretched it back: "King, please!" ”

Chengxi Binyi, was cleaned up very clean, exclusively for Liu Chong's family, eating very fragrant, this way, frightened, originally thought that after arriving in Beijing, it was a prison treatment. But at the moment, it seems that the outcome is still uncertain, but the signal revealed by the imperial court has finally ignited some hope for them.

In the elegant room, a table of wine and food that was not too rich, did not move a single chopstick, only Feng Dao, Li Shaoyou, Liu Chong and Liu Cheng were all present. The atmosphere was a little depressed, Liu Chong sat silently, did not respond to Feng Dao's persuasion, was numb for a long time, and looked at Feng Dao: "Feng Xiang, can you tell me, how does the emperor plan to deal with Lone?" ”

"Old and stupid, the mind of the Son of Heaven is beyond my guess!" Feng Dao smiled slightly, and raised his glass again: "The king is out of reach, or obey the will of the Son of Heaven, drink and feast, and then enter the palace to meet Your Majesty!" ”

Worried, the taste is the same as chewing wax, until Shen Shi, he entered the palace under the guidance and was alone. The rest of the family was placed alone.

Kaifeng is not the first time Liu Chong has come, but the Han Palace, which is imprinted with the traces of the Liu family, is the first time Liu Chong has seen it. Compared with Jinyang Palace, it is still more magnificent, which is Liu Chong's most intuitive feeling.

Speaking of which, the founding of the country has been six years, as the head of the clan, the first festival in the world, Liu Chong has never been to Beijing, no matter how you look at it, it is inappropriate. Even if you say it to the common people, you will feel that it is resentful.

Under the guidance of the palace people, he crossed the tall palace gates and went to the Chongzheng Palace, leaning on his feet, walking slowly, step by step.

When he entered the palace, Liu Chengyou was the only one in it, and the Lang officials, chamberlains, and palace ladies who were waiting were all dismissed by him. Looking at Liu Chong, a breath of old age and decay came to his face. Liu Chong's appearance was already very vague in Liu Chengyou's mind, but he still didn't expect that Liu Chong would appear in front of him with such an aging and pale face.

"Sinner, Liu Chong sees Your Majesty!" lowered his eyebrows, bowed his head, trembled his voice, and kowtowed to Liu Chengyou, the second emperor of the Han Dynasty, for the first time.

This old and unbearable appearance, and his uncle, if he changes someone casually, his heart may be soft. Liu Chengyou was silent, just looking at him calmly.

After a while, Liu Chong couldn't stand it a little, not only psychologically, but also on his knees.

"Uncle Huang, how is Jinyang now tall, majestic, rich and prosperous?" Finally, Liu Chengyou asked.

Liu Chong glanced up at Liu Chengyou and said in a low voice: "The people of Jinyang are deeply affected by the evil government of the criminal ministers, and they are not rich!" ”

"Yes! I have repeatedly invited Uncle Huang to come to see Tokyo and see the prosperity of my Han capital, why don't you come? Liu Chengyou asked softly.

Without waiting for his answer, he continued to count slowly in a calm tone: "In the first year of Qianyou, the first emperor died, I ascended the throne, and the emperor's uncle shirked by guarding the river; In the second year of Qianyou, I toured the north and invited the emperor's uncle to Tumen to support his illness; In the third year of Qianyou, I wanted to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival with the emperor's uncle, but the emperor's uncle made a mess with the release of the door and couldn't get out; In the fourth year of Qianyou, after the Jiaqing Festival, the emperor's uncle said that he should guard against the Khitan ......"

"Your Majesty, don't say it!" Liu Chong couldn't hold back, buried his head on the ground, and said: "The minister knows that he has committed a lot of sin, and he regrets it, and he is about to die, and there is still His Majesty's place, and now those who ask for it, I only hope that His Majesty will remember the feelings of the same clan and bypass my descendants!" ”

Hearing his words, Liu Chengyou smiled faintly: "What does Uncle Huang mean?" What is the sin? ”

Liu Chong straightened up, stared at Liu Chengyou, a flush welled up on his sickly cheeks, and he said a little excitedly: "Why does Your Majesty ask knowingly? ”

Liu Chengyou shook his hand and said: "I am the emperor's uncle, who has guarded the land of Longxing in Hedong for many years, protected the territory and the people, consolidated the foundation of the Han Dynasty, worked hard and made high achievements, and now I have returned to Beijing, I am worried, how to reward!" ”

When Liu Chengyou said this, he was solemn, and his face was no different, which made Liu Chong stunned, stunned, and speechless for a while. In the depths of his eyes, in the confusion, there are surprises and surprises.

Calmly looking at him, Liu Chengyou said, "That's it! In Xijing, I prepared a manor for the imperial uncle's family to live in. From now on, I will tease my grandchildren and raise my children for the rest of my life. Knees, such cousins, there are many officials outside, I haven't seen the emperor's uncle, I transferred them to Xijing together, and gave the emperor's uncle filial piety......"

"Your Majesty, I, I have more than a dozen sons!" Liu Chong looked at the emperor, and there was some resentment in his tone.

"Don't worry, the manor I gave you is enough for your family to live for dozens of people!" Liu Chengyou smiled and said: "In addition, I ordered the Luoyang government to set aside a piece of land, and distribute grain seeds and farming tools, cultivate and study to live, and cultivate sentiment, which is a good thing!" ”

"This, this, this ......" Hearing this, Liu Chong stammered.

"That's it!" Liu Chengyou's eyes didn't flicker a few times, and he said: "By the way, I haven't seen you for many years, the Queen Mother's side, the imperial uncle should also go to say hello, I want to come to her old man's house, and I will be very happy to see the imperial uncle return!" ”
