After chatting for a while and resting for a while, Liu Chengyou took the initiative to retire, carried a hoe, and went to the field again. Liu Chengxun, as an elder brother, consciously set an example and refused to fall behind, so he also dragged his somewhat weak body to the ground and continued to clumsily land on the ground.

After the two went, a civil official not far from Liu Zhiyuan's side took the conversation between father and son into his ears. With a shrewd gaze, he swept around, put down the farming tools in his hand, walked to the side of the field, and said to him with a smile: "Congratulations to the king!" ”

He was in his thirties, with a clear face, a refreshing spirit, and a very delicately trimmed beard. This person's name is Su Fengji, the official residence of Hedong Jiedu judge, is Liu Zhiyuan's confidant and close minister, and Liu Zhiyuan is deeply respected. Liu Zhiyuan is strict and strict, and Bin Zuo is afraid and respectful, only this Su Fengji is fortunate to serve the left and right, observe its color and enter the book, every time there is a statement, Liu Zhiyuan also agrees more and vetoes less. In short, this Su Fengji is very good with Liu Zhiyuan.

"Oh?" Liu Zhiyuan's attitude towards Su Fengji was indeed much kinder than others, and he even showed him a smile that was rare for ordinary people, and asked curiously: "Why are you happy?" ”

Su Fengji looked very respectful, stood with a bow, and his eyes swept to Liu Chengxun and Liu Chengyou in the distance: "The prince is respectful, gentle and tolerant; Although the second prince is silent, he is resolute and resolute, and he has a strategy. If there is a son, isn't it a happy event for the king? The two princes are both dragons and phoenixes, and the watch of the sky and the sun ......"

Su Fengji's sycophant shot loudly, and it touched Liu Zhiyuan's heart, but his expression was serious to the end, and he responded: "How can these two sons deserve such an evaluation?" Not...... However, Da Lang has a mellow temperament, which is indeed true, as for Erlang-

After a pause, Liu Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly became a little deep: "In the past half a year or so, my temperament has changed greatly, I am too serious, my words and deeds are harsh, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing......

Liu Zhiyuan obviously regarded Su Fengji as a close person, but his evaluation of the two sons did not hide it at all. has been by Liu Zhiyuan's side for a long time, and he probably understands his concerns, but Su Fengji does not dare to rashly express any opinions.

Lowering his head and looking up, his eyes revealed some cleverness, Su Fengji's demeanor naturally deviated from the topic, and there was a hint in his words: "The words of the second prince are not unreasonable, the Great Jin Dynasty is dead, the Central Plains has no owner, and Hu Lu is rampant." Indeed, the king should be aggressive—"

Su Fengji was obviously ready to make a tirade, but was rudely interrupted by Liu Zhiyuan: "How can you take the words of the vertical son seriously?" ”

Seeing Liu Zhiyuan's "anger", Su Fengji's face became more relaxed, not in a hurry, and said slowly: "The beautiful place in Hedong has become a royal industry since ancient times. Not to mention, the king of Jin embraced it back then, to resist the strong Liang, and Zhuangzong destroyed the Liang, and the Tang Dynasty was so prosperous; Ten years ago, Gaozu Town, Hedong, resisted the world with a corner of the land, drove straight into Luoyang, and the Great Jin Dynasty flourished here; Now the king has tens of thousands of soldiers, the people are safe, the soldiers are strong, the Central Plains is sinking in the iron hooves of foreign races, if the male of the east of the river, south to the Central Plains, the emperor can be expected to ......"

"Shut up!" Hearing Su Fengji's such a straightforward "contrarian words", I saw Liu Zhiyuan angry and terrifying, glaring at Su Fengji fiercely and scolding.

Su Fengji was a little unsatisfied, but in the face of Liu Zhiyuan's gaze, he still closed his mouth with interest. He thought he had guessed Liu Zhiyuan's thoughts, but at this moment, facing his fierce eyes, his heart still couldn't help but beat the drum. Liu Zhiyuan, the king of Beiping, was not a good person, his body couldn't help but tremble, and Su Fengji hurriedly buried his head deeply.

Liu Zhiyuan's passionate words came from his ears: "Such rebellious words, no matter how dare you speak, you will never be spared." Lonely and simple in Gaozu, long by the grace of the country, since the picture of the newspaper. The Jin family is in decline, the Son of Heaven is covered with dust, falling into the hands of the Khitan, alone thousands of miles away, without help, it is already painful, regretful, how dare you have such a rebellious delusion! Say no more! Say no more! ”

Liu Zhiyuan's emotional appearance seemed to be real. Su Fengji is also a smart person, his eyes flashed a few times, and he made a long gesture: "The loyalty of the king, your subordinates understand." His subordinates are making abuse, and please punish the king! ”

"If you repeat this argument, you will be severely punished!" With a light snort, Liu Zhiyuan got up and brushed his sleeves away, as if he was really angry.

Seeing this, Su Fengji hurriedly walked away with several tooth generals, and there was no panic on his face.

Liu Zhiyuan replied to Su Fengji's words, of course, he was insincere and nonsense. If he was really loyal to the Jin family, during the five-year confrontation between the Jin Dynasty and the Khitan, he would not hold the pass steadily, sit back and watch the success or failure, and secretly shelter the scattered soldiers to strengthen his own power. In the change of Zhongdu Bridge, Du Chongwei's whole army surrendered, and when Bianliang was in danger, he did not see him have the help of King Qin. Yerod entered the Bian, saw that all the festivals were vying to see each other, and without hesitation, he sent people to worship in the hall with heavy gifts, showing his loyalty......

As far as Liu Zhiyuan's actions can be seen, he is ambitious, in fact, when he reaches his prestigious position, it is impossible to be unambitious, and if he does not advance, he will retreat. Since this period of time, many people in Hedong Wenwu have been openly and secretly knocking him on the side. Although Su Fengji spoke boldly and straightforwardly, he was not the first, nor would he be the last.

Liu Zhiyuan's attitude is so "resolute", there is only one reason, the time has not come. On the one hand, the situation in the world is still not clear, although there are people who have heard of the tyranny and deafness of the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang in the Central Plains, and although the people have fiercely resisted, it has not yet reached a scale. Both, Liu Zhiyuan is also a little weak in his heart, Yelu Deguang's hundreds of thousands of troops under Hu Han are still very deterrent, and he is not willing to use his painstaking family in Hedong to fight the Khitans.

Liu Zhiyuan's approach at this time is just one word, wait and see.

Liu Zhiyuan's movement on his side caused a wave of turmoil, and the civil and military ministers who were hoeing in the field looked sideways. Liu Chengyou also subconsciously took a look, but soon he focused on turning over the soil, and the number of acres must be achieved.

After the departure of King Beiping, many people began to be lazy, and this show seemed a bit anticlimactic. In the end, only Liu Chengyou and a few lowly officials completed the hoeing in full. The few civil and military generals were all memorized by Liu Chengyou.

When great changes come, there will be signs. At the time of the recovery of all things, when the spring flowers are blooming, there is always an atmosphere of mountain rain coming inside and outside Jinyang. In the evening, the commander of the city gate of the south city reported that suddenly there was a "demon wind", and the "Jin Banner" at the head of the city stopped and folded. Liu Zhiyuan asked left and right with this, there was nothing to do, only Su Fengji played the role of solving the confusion, saying that this was a warning from God, and there was a fear of drastic changes. Liu Zhiyuan was silent, what kind of changes could there be in this dynasty.

Coincidentally, not long after sunset, a piece of news came from Bianjing. Just yesterday, on the first day of the second month of Ding Sishuo (the first day of the new year), the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang was proclaimed emperor in Biangong under the "support" of the ministers of the Han Dynasty, changed the name of the Khitan country to "Liao", changed the Yuan Datong, granted amnesty to the world, and officially ruled China de jure. It was accompanied by a slightly tough edict: "From now on, the envoys and assassins will not have to be toothed soldiers and city war horses." ”

Six hundred miles of flying horses came to report, in Jinyang City, there was another wave of ups and downs, Liu Zhiyuan put down half of the rice bowl, and urgently summoned the officials of the overlord to belong to the palace affairs.

At night, the palace was still solemn. The spacious and majestic main hall was even more silent, only a few lamps, burning silently, and the flickering flames released wisps of blurry light.

There are only about a dozen people in the hall, Liu Zhiyuan has no intention of discussing, the civil and military forces are headed by Yang Wei, the right capital, and Liu Chong, who is the commander of Ma Bujun, and Liu Xin, Hu Yanke, Wang Zhang, Shi Hongzhao, Chang Si and other senior civil and military under Liu Zhiyuan. It is probably more than half a year, especially in recent years, that Liu Chengyou has also been able to be listed.

In an upright sitting posture, next to his uncle Liu Chongluo, he was in the second seat on the right, and his expression maintained a solemn and calm expression similar to that of everyone. Of course, Liu Chengyou was not nervous in his heart, Yelu Deguang called Emperor Jianliao, he had already "expected", and it was not worth making a fuss.

At the same time, Liu Chengyou's gaze glanced at a middle-aged military general at the back of the hall from time to time, with a dignified and majestic face and a heroic bearing, which was Guo Wei, the Confucian official of the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty in Hedong. At this time, Guo Wei already had a certain status under Liu Zhiyuan's account, but just like that, compared with Liu Chong, Liu Xin, and Shi Hong, he was a "younger brother" among the generals.

Those who are perceptual are like a hole and a eye, all of which pass through their hands. Guo Wei, a Confucian official, has nothing to manage about the soldiers and horses, but with the current situation of the soldiers and horses in Hedong, he is unmanageable. Just like the Longqi Army led by Liu Chengyou, he will definitely not be able to intervene.

However, Liu Chengyou will not despise this military minister who is not yet famous in the world. Every time he looked at him, the words "yellow robe plus body" kept circling in Liu Chengyou's mind, and his eyes involuntarily became cold.

Probably because Liu Chengyou's gaze was too cold, Guo Wei noticed it and looked at him, but only saw Liu Chengyou, who had turned his head and his expression had returned to flat. The thick eyebrows frowned slightly, and Guo Wei's calm eyes couldn't help but have a trace of doubt.

"The king has arrived!" With a loud shout from the tooth general, the atmosphere in the hall became tighter, and everyone cheered up.

Liu Zhiyuan was dressed in a silk suit, strode up to the main seat, sat down with a golden sword, looked around, spoke very quickly, and said directly: "The Khitan lord has been proclaimed emperor, and there is an uproar in the sea, and his edict is probably already on the way to the north." Lone only asked, where should Hedong go? ”
