Chapter 134: Returning Home
Dissatisfied, dissatisfied, resentful. Naturally, there is, and that kind of mood is very strong, but Liu Chengyou is not good at showing it, or in other words, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to be angry and resentful, but it may cause Liu Zhiyuan to be more vigilant.
Tao Gu had previously told Liu Chengyou that after arriving in Kaifeng, he might face a certain amount of suppression from the emperor, no, it really came true.
To put it mildly, Liu Chengyou was deprived of his direct command of the Longqi Army. With the chaos of the Beijing army, it is imperative to rectify the forbidden army, Liu Chengyou will not have any objections, but in this way, even suppressing himself, it is not happy to change anyone, even if the cloud is light and light, it is also pretended.
Today's Longqi Army, blessed by the light of the Battle of Luancheng, can be called the head of all armies. However, after the rectification, in particular, Shi Hongzhao was asked to preside over the reorganization.
Shi Hongzhao's reputation in Tokyo now is that the soldiers are afraid of the people and the officials, so he asked him to reorganize the army. Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed in Liu Chengyou's mind, could it be that because of this, Liu Zhiyuan took Shi Hongzhao in charge of this matter?
As for Guo Wei, with his solemnity and solemnity, he may be able to support the results of the whole training, so as not to let Shi Hongzhao do too much. And it won't cause too many contradictions and conflicts, Guo Wei has always had a good relationship with Shi Hongzhao, and in the eyes of others, he can be regarded as Shi Hongzhao's younger brother. And Guo Wei's handling of affairs has always reassured Liu Zhiyuan......
I was afraid to ponder, although all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts were only briefly passed through in my mind, Liu Chengyou still had a vague feeling of guessing Liu Zhiyuan's thoughts. However, the mood is still unhappy.
However, if you want to talk about suppression, it is not suppressed to the end at once, isn't it a sweet date. Adding officials, rewarding the house, and estimating wealth are also indispensable. Zhongshu Ling is not mentioned, the name is not deserved, the privy deputy envoy, but the position of real power, is still in the center of power, counselor military and political, but there is Yang Wei pressing above, and Yang Wei's attitude towards himself, does he let himself fight for power with Yang Wei......
"Your Highness, go this way!" The eunuch leading the way in front of him suddenly spoke, interrupting Liu Chengyou's thoughts.
"Hmm." Responding lightly, Liu Chengyou followed him into another channel.
"Official." In the vertical arch hall, an old eunuch walked to the front of the palace with his waist bowed and called softly.
Liu Zhiyuan was looking at the concert and raised his eyelids: "What is his reaction?" ”
The eunuch replied: "After the second prince left the palace, he was very calm, his expression was as usual, and he went to greet the queen. ”
"Did you say anything?" Liu Zhiyuan asked.
"Nope."
"I see." Liu Zhiyuan's serious black face seemed to be relaxed, and he ordered: "Add a cup of tea." ”
"Yes."
Queen Li's residence, called Renming Palace, when Liu Chengyou walked, he had already packed up his mood. Habitually packed up his robe, without waiting for the report, accompanied by the two palace laves, Li had already walked out, his steps were a little urgent, and he shouted "Erlang" in his mouth.
I haven't seen him for a few months, and the Li family is still as kind and gentle, beautiful and generous, and the clothes on his body are not gorgeous, but they are graceful and noble. Lifting the feet of the robe, Liu Chengyou knelt down on his knees, saluted the Li family, and kowtowed: "My son visits his mother." ”
"Hurry up!" Seeing Liu Chengyou saluting, Li hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up with both hands.
"Have you seen your official family?"
"Yes."
"I'm thin, and I'm dark." After looking at Liu Chengyou for a while, Li's gentle expression was full of concern, and he reached out to wipe the dust off Liu Chengyou's forehead.
Feeling the gentle movement of Li's fingers, a warm flow flowed through his heart, Li's kindness to him, Liu Chengyou knew it in his heart, and probably after "autism", he was especially considerate.
People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, perhaps at the beginning, Liu Chengyou had some black thoughts and purposes, but now, for this mother, he recognizes and loves in his heart.
"It's sturdy, too." Liu Chengyou patted his chest, showing his strength.
"Are there any injuries?" glanced at him with disgust, and Li's loving eyes were still wandering around Liu Chengyou.
Liu Chengyou said softly: "Since the expedition, my son has been under the protection of the tiger and has not hurt a single hair, but many soldiers have lost their lives in order to protect me. ”
Hearing this, Li's eyebrows frowned slightly, and then admonished: "People should be grateful for Dai Yi's heart, those dead and wounded soldiers, to their relatives and descendants, should be kind to their relatives, in order to comfort the heroic soul, reward their loyalty." ”
"What my mother said is that my son remembered this matter, and now that he has returned to the court, he will start this matter." Liu Chengyou replied.
was led by the Li family and guided into the hall to speak. Liu Chengyou obediently followed, and when he entered the hall, he found that the interior decoration was very simple, without a bit of extravagance, and several looms were placed in the center......
Facing Liu Chengyou's surprised gaze, Li chuckled and said, "In this palace, there is nothing to do, weaving a few pieces of cloth." It's autumn, and the weather is getting cooler, so I'll cut a few clothes for your father and son. ”
When Li said this, he didn't make it a little pretentious, but only gave Liu Chengyou a feeling of seeing the truth in the plain. Feeling something, he solemnly bowed to the Li family: "In this world, only you are worthy of the world." ”
Liu Chengyou suddenly came out like this, which made Li laugh: "You kid ......"
"Come, tell my mother about the experience of the past few months. I heard that you led 8,000 soldiers to fight hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops, and your courage was too great, which caused people to worry, but now that you hear it, you still feel frightened......" sat down and narrated, and the Li family chattered like an ordinary woman.
Liu Chengyou was not a little impatient, and told him about his experience since the expedition from beginning to end. It should be a wonderful legendary story, especially the battle of Luancheng, but Liu Chengyou is really not a good storyteller. Probably because of the effect of the explanation, the thrilling excitement during it was covered up, which did not make Li too afraid.
However, speaking plainly and listening carefully, Li did not find it boring.
I talked with Li in the palace for more than half an hour, and then I had a meal at Li's place, and I was full of food and drink before I retired.
When he left the palace, he met Liu Chengxun. It's the time to grow his body, and after a few months, this kid has obviously grown a little taller. He was dressed in a strong suit, playing with a green pearl in his hand, and walked briskly, swaying between the corridors of the hall, looking idle.
Seeing Liu Chengyou slowly walking towards the palace gate, Liu Chengxun was obviously startled, and he turned decisively to the other side.
"The third child!" Seeing this, Liu Chengyou opened his mouth and shouted directly.
Hearing the sound, the young man's quickened pace stopped suddenly, the whole person seemed to be tense, turned around, looked at Liu Chengyou, his bitter expression quickly turned into a smile, and Xiao Xiaobu greeted him: "Second brother, you have entered the palace." When did you arrive in Kaifeng, why didn't you let people inform me, I could go to meet you......"
Liu Chengyou pouted him and said, "I don't seem to want to see me when I look at you." ”
"How so?" Liu Chengxun immediately put away his hippie smile, stretched his little face, and said carefully: "I'm going to go back to study, second brother, you don't know, my father found Hanlin as a teacher for me, that old gentleman, very old-fashioned, assigned a lot of homework......"
Hearing Liu Chengxun talking nonsense there, Liu Chengyou's face softened, and he felt a little emotion in his heart.
Liu Chengxun "finished explaining", and stood there in a proper manner, and his heart was still straight for his second brother. The little eyes glanced up from time to time, and as soon as he saw Liu Chengyou's serious face, he moved away like an electric shock, lowered his head, and stared at the tip of his shoe.
Seeing his performance, Liu Chengyou chose to let him go, and waved his hand at him: "Aren't you going to study, go ahead." ”
Hearing this, Liu Chengxun's eyes lit up, and he suddenly smiled again: "Second brother, you go slowly." After that, he went in a hurry.
Retracting his gaze, Liu Chengyou continued to take a calm step, followed the palace people who led the way, and walked towards the palace gate. The palace gate is called Xuanwu Gate, and at first glance, I thought it was Xuanwu Gate.
"Your Highness." Before going out, the small colonel of the Crane Army on duty at the city gate took the initiative to say hello to Liu Chengyou.
The Han Dynasty's Crane Forbidden Army, which was originally selected and built by Liu Chengyou himself, has been used to this day, and when it arrives in Tokyo, it is also the Ouchi pro-army. Liu Chengyou had a little impression of that small school, he was originally selected from the Longqi Army.
"I remember you, your last name is ...... Surname Lee! Called Li Jian? Liu Chengyou said.
Seeing that Liu Chengyou still remembered himself, Xiao Xiao Xiao was a little surprised and surprised, and immediately replied: "It is the last general." ”
After a few glances at him, the attire of a junior officer of the forbidden army, Liu Chengyou asked, "Promoted?" ”
Li Jian replied: "Li Dushuai trusts, and the last general is the city guard of Xuanwu Gate, and it also depends on His Highness's promotion at the beginning. ”
Liu Chengyou knew that he was referring to his uncle, Li Hongxin, the commander of the Crane Army.
"Uncle knows people!" Liu Chengyou said.
"Be loyal to your duties and guard the palace gate well!" Leaving a word, Liu Chengyou didn't stop much and left.
"Yes!" Li Jian responded respectfully and returned to his post.
In front of the gate outside the imperial city, Li Chongju led Liu Chengyou's personal soldiers to wait for a long time, and he didn't dare to approach the palace gate. When he went out to fight, Liu Chengyou's pro-army establishment was a battalion of 500 people, and before going south, Liu Chengyou was reduced to 50 people, and it was still under the command of Li Chongju, and the rest were either placed in the north or transferred to the Longqi Army as a low-level officer.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Li Chongju looked at the imperial city and asked cautiously.
Liu Chengyou couldn't help but reprimanded softly: "I'm going to see the emperor, that's my father, what can I do!" ”
Li Chongju was a little embarrassed, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly shut up.
Liu Chengyou looked at the eunuch who was separated from the back, and commanded strongly: "Didn't the official family reward me with a mansion and lead me there!" ”
"Yes!" The eunuch, who had received this order, did not dare to slack off, and replied very humbly.
The construction of Biangong began with the back beam, which was basically modeled on the construction of Luoyang Ziwei Palace, although the scale is small, the layout is similar. The north side is the imperial city, so after going around in a circle, I went through the other door to re-enter Kaifeng City.
"Where are the Dragonsland Army housed?" Calling Li Chongju to drive the car, Liu Chengyou asked.
"For the time being, it's on the campus of Seongnam University." Li Chongju replied: "Marquis Guo Duyu sent someone to summon him, and everything is very proper. ”
"Send someone to inform the generals and colonies that Tokyo is not as good as Zhending, and when you get here, you will give me some peace, restrain the soldiers, and don't cause trouble. In addition, the officials must reorganize the army, no matter how it is adjusted, and actively cooperate! After thinking about it, Liu Chengyou suppressed his throat and instructed Li Chongju.
Li Chongju was slightly stunned when he heard this, but immediately answered yes and didn't ask anything. He likes this very much Liu Chengyou, he does things practically, and never talks much.
In the city of Tokyo, the fang market is isolated, the control is very strict, and it is not very lively, and Liu Chengyou has no intention of paying attention to the fang in Kaifeng for the time being. After about a quarter of an hour's effort, I arrived at the mansion, and it was already late.
Not far from the imperial city, a huge and luxurious mansion fully expresses Liu Zhiyuan's intentions, and it is very incompatible with Liu Chengyou's "thrifty" style. According to the eunuch, this mansion covers an area of hundreds of acres, with water pavilions and song platforms, pavilions and gardens, which have lasted for decades and traveled to many places, all of which are very powerful figures in the Ti Dynasty who are qualified to live in it. In the Later Jin Dynasty, it was the family residence of the right minister Jing Yanguang, and the Khitan entered the Bian, and was rewarded by Yelu Deguang to Zhao Yanshou, the king of Yan, and later was occupied by Xiao Han, the Khitan uncle who stayed in Tokyo.
After Liu Zhiyuan entered Kaifeng, he ordered someone to clean it up as a reward for Liu Chengyou.
There are people in the house, and Liu Chengyou is quite familiar with them, all of them are his slaves in Jinyang.
"Jiro." There was surprise in the soft voice, and when she learned that Liu Chengyou had returned home, in a hurry, Geng Shi picked up her skirt and trotted into the vestibule.
Obviously, I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and when I saw Liu Chengyou's tall figure, I was even more happy in my beautiful eyes. kept approaching, stopped, and his eyes were like water circulating on Liu Chengyou. The beauty was soft, maybe she was excited, maybe she was running too fast, she gasped a few times, slowed down, and bowed down: "The concubine welcomes His Highness back home." ”
"Get up." Liu Chengyou nodded.
Geng is still as delicate and beautiful as before, with snow-white skin, so tender that he can squeeze out water, wearing Liu Chengyou's favorite plain clothes, and the makeup is also very elegant, without a little bewitching feeling. On her beautiful face, there is a little blush, but she can't hide that kind of sick temperament, which is very seductive.
Although he is older than Liu Chengyou, Geng's age is not very old, and he is not yet twenty.
"Hmm."
Although Liu Chengyou's reaction was still the same as before, and there was not much change, but because of the familiarity, Geng was relieved, and he did not have the alienation that he imagined for months.
"Bring the brothers into the mansion and familiarize yourself with the environment of the mansion as soon as possible! Also, if you have a loved one who has moved to Tokyo, you can take a leave of absence to visit! Liu Chengyou turned his head and gave an order to Li Chongju, and then, accompanied by the Geng family, entered the depths of the mansion and went straight into the inner hall.
Although the weather has turned cold, the room is still inevitably overheated, and Liu Chengyou took off his robe was hung on the hanger, Geng personally dipped it in water and squeezed a towel for Liu Chengyou and handed it to him: "Erlang." ”
It's still that delicate voice, a little seductive.
While wiping his face, Liu Chengyou asked casually, "When did you arrive in Tokyo?" ”
"It's been a month, and the ...... who have migrated with the officials and people of Jinyang" Geng helped Liu Chengyou untie his belt and replied.
"No surprises." Liu Chengyou asked awkwardly.
"There are military horses to escort you, and there are guards in the house, so naturally everything will go smoothly."
Turning to look at Geng, under Liu Chengyou's gaze, the beauty was still holding Liu Chengyou's belt in her hand, and hung her head shyly. Geng's woman is a superb beauty, better than most women in the world, especially with that kind of soft and pitiful temperament.
Feeling the loose trousers, the waiting maids had already retreated with interest.
