In the evening, Liu Chengyou ordered someone to prepare a small table of imperial meals and feasted Li Shaoyou alone. On weekdays, although the Son of Heaven sometimes gives ministers and generals, gives meals and feasts, and gives kindness, there are still relatively few cases of setting up a separate table for hospitality, and the entire court has enjoyed this treatment, and there are no more people who have enjoyed this treatment.

"Hedong and his entourage, they did a good job, solve my heart disease, and go to my big trouble!" Liu Chengyou raised his glass and invited Li Shaoyou.

Holding the cup in both hands, he replied respectfully: "Finally lived up to the mission, before the Hedong incident was decided, the minister could not sleep well, for fear that he would not be thoughtful, make a mistake, delay the big thing, and even cause chaos." Fortunately, thanks to the majesty of His Majesty, Fan Xianggong, Zhao Yuhou and all the aspirants of the court of Xiaoshun helped, and the ministers only did their best! ”

Seeing Li Shaoyou's humble and low-key appearance, Liu Chengyou smiled discouragedly, looked at him, and said: "You don't have to be too humble, the affairs of Hedong are all your leaders before and after, not just change people, you have the ability to coordinate the overall situation, you can win my trust and put it into power!" ”

"Your Majesty's faith is heavy, and the minister is not very grateful, so he can only form a grass ring and die to repay him!" Li Shaoyou gave up his hand again.

"Brother You, I found that you, in the past two years, have become more and more restrained in front of me, what makes you so sincere and cautious?" took a piece of meat, and while sending it to his mouth, he said: "You seem to be deliberately alienating, you don't dare to admit it, and you don't dare to receive the reward." You seem to be afraid of me? ”

Listening to the emperor's words, Li Shaoyou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Tianwei, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who is not afraid of it." The minister thinks that he is close to His Majesty, and he is very important, and he is entrusted with great power and is in charge of the Wude Division, which is already eye-catching. I don't dare to act recklessly and attract criticism, so as not to cause trouble to Your Majesty......"

"No, it's not all!" Liu Chengyou personally picked up the wine jug, filled Li Shaoyou with a glass, and chuckled: "Brother You, I also thought about it, and thought about myself." Maybe it's meanness, deep and suspicious, which makes you scared? ”

Liu Chengyou said easily, but Li Shaoyou had palpitations, and hurriedly shook his head: "Your Majesty is serious!" How dare you? ”

"Don't be too busy denying it yet!" Liu Chengyou picked up the cup, touched it gently, and sighed: "The Han Dynasty founded the country, embraced the world, and had relatives outside the clan, so I am afraid that there is no one who does not want to share the wealth of the country and the country." But over the years, I have been too strict with the clan.

The uncles relieved their powers one after another, and even let the younger uncle go to Yuanzhou despite the sadness of the Queen Mother. Uncle Liu Xin has been guarding the mausoleum in Xuzhou for three years, and now it is Liu Chong's turn......

So, even if you have some doubts in your heart, it's understandable, and I won't blame you! ”

Hearing this, Li Shaoyou got up and knelt down: "The minister knows that His Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and he is all dedicated to the Han Dynasty, and the subjects of the society have no thoughts, they are in a public position, and every order and edict are all due to the law, which is beyond reproach!"

The minister walks for His Majesty's cattle and horses, and only knows how to be loyal, but His Majesty's horse is the first to look forward, how can he miss him! ”

"What are you doing here?" Listening to Li Shaoyou's statement, he sighed and waved his hand: "That's it, get up!" Drink! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Aren't you curious, what do I plan to do with Liu Chong?" Liu Chengyou asked.

Li Shaoyou shook his head very dryly: "This is not something that the minister can guess, besides, what is the result, after His Majesty disposes of it, he will naturally know ......."

"I asked Feng Dao to go to the port to greet you, with your cleverness, can't you see it?" Liu Chengyou said with a smile.

took a sip of wine and said: "Back then, Liu Xin was in Xuzhou, harsh government and harming the people, breaking the law and disorderly, and the sky was angry and resentful. Now, Liu Chong is in Hedong, disobedient to the imperial court, intending to rebel. Do you know which one I hate more? ”

"I don't know!" Li Shaoyou lowered his head slightly.

"Of course it's Liu Chong! Liu Xin's evil is only a corner of Xuzhou; Liu Chong's harm has affected the entire Hedong and even the world! Liu Chengyou said coldly: "The desire for power is smearing, and the profit makes the wisdom faint!" For such a traitor who is selfish, regardless of the clan and society, and does not care about the subjects of the country, he can't kill him. However, I thought about it, but I wanted to spare his life......"

"Taking into account the overall situation, you have to do it as a last resort, Your Majesty can not act because of likes and dislikes, and the Holy Monarch is also!" Li Shaoyou said.

"Okay, you don't have to compliment me!" Liu Chengyou looked at Li Shaoyou: "Let's talk about some serious things!" What do you think about the restructuring and rectification of Hedong and the appointment of generals? ”

Li Shaoyou was slightly stunned, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, this has its own considerations from Your Majesty and the lord of the court, and there are also Fan Xianggong and Marquis Zhao Duyu in Hedong, how dare the minister say more?" ”

Liu Chengyou said: "Fan Zhen and Zhao Kuangyin are still sorting out the military and politics in Hedong and suppressing the situation. When you return from Taiyuan, you should be more familiar with the situation over there, and you should know more about those officials and generals...... "16k Chinese

Hearing this, Li Shaoyou thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister will return to the Ya, and before and after this matter, the relevant Hedong officials and generals will list a list of details for Your Majesty's review and reference." ”

His eyes flashed from his body, and Liu Chengyou said: "But! You don't want to say it, and I don't force it! ”

"Tell me about it! How should I reward you for this great achievement, and what do you want? Liu Chengyou's tone was a little more relaxed, and he asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Shaoyou also showed a smile and said, "There is an invitation, I hope Your Majesty can agree!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Chengyou looked interested and asked, "What do you want?" ”

"The minister is from Jinyang, bring back a daughter, I hope Your Majesty can give marriage!" Li Shaoyou replied.

Liu Chengyou was really surprised, looked at him curiously, raised his finger and said, "That little widow? ”

Hearing this, Li Shaoyou's pupils shrank slightly, with a humble smile on his face: "Exactly!" ”

"I'm curious, don't you have any intention of continuing the strings? The dignified Shouyang County Duke actually wants to marry a widow as the main family, what kind of beauty is it? Liu Chengyou asked.

Li Shaoyou said with a smile: "The wonder of fate is indescribable, the minister only feels that his temperament is suitable!" ”

"You've opened your mouth, how can I be justified!" His eyes playfully passed over Li Shaoyou, and Liu Chengyou said: "Turn back, I will let Hanlin draw up an edict!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Shaoyou stood up and bowed, and then respectfully asked: "There is one more thing, Your Majesty Wanwang will agree." ”

"Say!" Liu Chengyou raised his hand, and his clothes were all right.

"Minister, please resign from the post of martial arts envoy!" One sentence made Liu Chengyou's face change, become serious, and the air gradually quieted.

staring at Li Shaoyou tightly, his face was as usual, calmly accepting the emperor's scrutiny. Sitting up straight, Liu Chengyou asked, "How old are you?" Why do you want to resign, isn't it, I, what's not in place? ”

Facing the gaze of the Son of Heaven, Li Shaoyou said respectfully: "Please forgive your Majesty, Wu Desi monitors the inside and outside, investigates and corrects the world, it is really a national weapon, and it cannot be held in the hands of one person for a long time!" ”

Listening to his words, Liu Chengyou didn't answer for a while, looked at this cousin seriously, thought seriously, and subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table. After a long time, he stood up and walked out: "Go out for a walk with me!" ”

On the night of early summer, the cool breeze blows on the face, it is very refreshing, it is fifteen, the full moon is clear, and the bright and clear light is sprinkled wantonly between the palaces, shining on Liu Chengyou and Li Shaoyou.

"Brother You, you have almost ten children now!" Suddenly, Liu Chengyou asked.

Li Shaoyou smiled: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister now has eight sons and six daughters!" ”

"Better than me!" Liu Chengyou brought a little smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty is diligent in state affairs, and there are few beauties in the palace, and now that the treasury is gradually growing, you don't have to treat yourself like you did at the beginning!" Li Shaoyou said to himself: "Your Majesty also knows that the ministers are good at fishing, and they raise those beautiful concubines, and this child will give birth to a ......."

"There's a knife on the head of the color word!" Liu Chengyou said quietly: "You should still be temperate!" ”

"The minister likes this, it's easy to change......"

"It's not easy to raise such a big family!" Liu Chengyou stopped suddenly, looked at Li Shaoyou solemnly, promised, and said: "Brother You, don't worry, I promise you a lifetime of wealth, don't say anything else, but as long as I am in one day, glory and wealth will never be shorter than you!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hearing this, Li Shaoyou was stunned for a moment, and then showed a relieved smile.
