Lingnan Han Kingdom Kyoto Xingwang Mansion, the imperial capital inner city Zhaoyang Palace. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

On a yellow rosewood couch sat a thin-faced man dressed in an orange gauze silk robe. The two plump round-faced girls in pink gauze palace clothes beside him were squatting or standing on the side, carefully and gently beating him. His pair of slender Danfeng eyes seemed to open and close, facing a red brocade-clothed warrior kneeling at the foot of the white jade majesty's steps, silent but very majestic. His fingers were slender and white, and they were twisted and patted on the backs of their hands, although they were thin but not explicit at all, and they seemed to be very powerful.

The red-clothed warrior under the stairs was extremely powerful, and although his body knelt there, he faintly exuded a person-like momentum, but this person on the soft couch in front of him made him dare not move in the slightest. Seeing that the man above him did not squeak, the red-clothed warrior couldn't help but turn his head to look into the soft silk tent on the side. Two meters away on the left side of the soft couch, there was a person standing behind the hanging tent, and behind the hanging tent in the beaded curtain, it was another man in a purple shirt, and he had been standing there quietly, rubbing a transparent jasper crescent-shaped jade in his hand.

The man on the soft couch is Liu Sheng, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who now dominates Lingnan, and he ascended to the throne at the age of 23 and was also ambitious. He has taken advantage of the momentum in the hands of Ma Chu, who is competing for the slot, to win more than ten states in northern Guangdong and southern Hunan, and has the heart of forging ahead in the Central Plains to win the world. It's a pity that in the past two years, his ears have been full of flattery, and he has gradually indulged in past achievements and wine, and he has only been thirty-seven or eighteen years old since he ascended the throne for fifteen years, and his temples have turned white and his eyes are cloudy.

He gently stroked the black beard that was less than five inches under his chin with his right hand, although he sat there reclining and did not speak, but more than ten years of being in Lingnan was the only one, so that he did not have to deliberately show it, and his whole body was also compelling.

He looked at the kneeling red-clothed warrior, groaning as if to speak, but suddenly stopped for a moment. With a wave of his hand, the two palace maids stepped aside, and they sat up a little. Although he is a thin body, his skeleton is broad-shouldered and straight-waisted, and he is much taller than the local aborigines in Lingnan. He turned his head to look at the purple-shirted man on his left hand who had stood with his hands on his back and had not moved to play with the jade.

"Brother Ling, as the Chang Dynasty just said, what do you think of the current development of the situation? The movement caused by Qing Nu'er's return to Beijing this time is not small! Liu Sheng opened his mouth unhurriedly, but his eyes still seemed to be closed, and occasionally he opened and closed himself, and if there were others here, he would not underestimate him, and he would not think that he was as fragile as he looked.

The man in the purple shirt has a straight face with a Chinese character, and his expression between his eyebrows is not angry and arrogant, but he can't tell his age. This man named Ling Li's original name was Tan Lingli, a native of Shaozhou, Lingnan, but his ancestral home was from Qilu in the Central Plains.

Thirteen years after Gaozu Dayou, in the battle to help Liu Sheng win the throne, he made great contributions on his own, and won Liu Sheng's trust and respect. Although he is only a guest and a close attendant in the court, and many people don't even know him, Liu Sheng has always treated him as a brother. After Liu Sheng's elder brother Emperor Yan was deposed, there were many voices in the court who were upset for Emperor Yan and demanded that the samurai who killed the emperor be killed. Tan Lingli was one of them, but for various reasons he was secretly retained, and then disappeared in front of the officials of the Southern Han Dynasty. But at the same time, his other name, Yang Jiong, has a great background in the world.

In the last years of the Tang Dynasty, the warlords were divided and disputed, and the world was in turmoil since Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty. There are good things in the rivers and lakes, Mo Yuzi is like a god, and he has not lost his iron mouth and steel teeth, and he compiled a "List of Celebrities in the Rivers and Lakes" to show that he is comparable to the heroes of the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, which has caused people in the rivers and lakes to agree and cater to him.

Since then, these martial arts hawkers and geeks have been proud to be on the "Jianghu Celebrity Wonder List" and "Ranger Record", and they can list the top ten people on the double list, which is naturally more moved and respected by the world.

Since Zhu Wen Dynasty Tang Liliang has produced many heroes in the world, there is Zhuangzong Li Cunmiao, who later established the Later Tang Dynasty, when he was known as the first celebrity on the list of strange arts, and he has been in the world for more than ten years, and no one dares to fight against it. is his brother Li Cunxiao, who is also one of the top five figures in the world; Like the world's celebrity iron gun Wang Yanzhang also laughs proudly in the Central Plains; Now the Taizu Guo Wei and Guo Que'er of the Later Zhou Dynasty are all famous figures on the celebrity and art list that year.

It is Liu Yan, the ancestor emperor who really established the Great Han State in front of him, and he has been praised by Li Cunqiao as the most famous person behind him since Li Cunqiao. Liu Yan took advantage of his father and brother at a young age to establish the Great Han Kingdom.

Since Li Cunmiao's death, he has also occupied the top of the bizarre list for ten years, and he is also the only person who has withdrawn from the strange art list by himself. And for more than ten years since him, no one dares to be at the top of the Qiyi list. Because he Liu Yan has been an emperor for thirty years, there is no need to prove anything! This is also the pride of the Liu dynasty and even the Lingnan people.

"Although what Chang Chao has learned is still one level lower than that of Brother Siti, he is only afraid that it is much stronger than the little apprentice of the minister. If he couldn't even get close to His Highness's side fifty meters at that time, the minister speculated that there were people around His Highness whose aura was above the minister. (Yang Jiong) Tan Lingli thought about the situation that this warrior had just described to Liu Sheng, and his clear eyes seemed to be full of passion.

He is known as the sick tiger and the lion Yang Jiong in the rivers and lakes, and his physique and appearance are like scholars. In the past, one person was on the steaming water river of the Xiangjiang River, single-handedly competing eighteen first-class masters of Balong Water Village, and the world was famous to deter Sanxiang.

Although he ranked ninth on the celebrity list, according to insiders, he has long surpassed the eighth-ranked Buddha Bian Ho. But the person concerned did not speak, and he did not have the opportunity to challenge, the general of the Southern Tang Kingdom, who was busy with military affairs that day, was known as the general of the living Buddha, but it can also be seen that there are only a handful of people in the rivers and lakes above him.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have the courage to think that although there are many strange people in the world today, who can be above the ministers and Siti brothers in the rivers and lakes, who will safely go with His Highness? And even if there were, what purpose did he have? There are only two people who are thinking about it, but they are not in line with what Chang Chao said, not to mention that the cause and effect of this matter are undecided. However, the minister speculated in his heart that no matter who this person was, it might be a good thing for His Highness and His Majesty! Now at least no one will do things in the face of Daozun Immortals! ”

Daozun Shi Zhenren is a legend beyond these people in the rivers and lakes, and the other two scattered immortals are listed in the world, of course, they are also called the five great venerables of the contemporary era together with the four people who cultivate the truth and seek the Tao of the Daomen, and they are all first-class characters who see the head of the dragon but do not see the tail.

Liu Sheng was amused when he heard this, and said: "What Brother Ling said is extremely true, judging from the temperament and learning of the young slave, I really don't believe that there will be strange people who will help him." However, this time I was able to take care of the Daozun Immortals with a different eye, and I guess the young slave will be blessed endlessly! He glanced at the warrior and said lightly: "Chang Chao, you get up first!" ”

The warrior Xie En got up, he was also an eight-foot man, about thirty years old, full of spirit and imposing, since he was the current palace of the Han Dynasty, Yu waited for the master Shao Shi Chang Dynasty.

"His Royal Highness went straight to Xiuhua Palace after returning to Xingwangfu, which shows that he and Mrs. Ya are still very affectionate over the years, for the relationship between His Majesty and Mrs. Ya in the past, this is not a good thing, and it is also what Your Majesty has always thought!" Yang Jiong's words seemed to be smiling, and he didn't seem to regard this Liu Sheng as the emperor.

Liu Sheng was not surprised at all, but was said by Yang Jiong, and as soon as he thought of the lady Ya in Xiuhua Palace, he fell into deep thought.

Mrs. Ya's name is Lu Ya, who was originally the daughter-in-law of Liu Sheng's eldest brother, Liu Yaoshu, the king of Yong, the princess of her nephew King Shaoxiong, and the mother of Liu Gong, the current king of Yongshao.

King Yong and King Shaoxiong were short-lived and died in their teens, and King Yong Shao was a posthumous son who inherited the throne since childhood. She is smart and knowledgeable, but her appearance is definitely not the type that Liu Sheng likes, and her appearance is definitely not beautiful in this era.

The reason why she was accepted as a princess is because her father is Lu Ying, a Lingnan Confucian, who is the most influential and influential boss in the Southern Han Dynasty after Wang Dingbao and Li Yinheng, and now more than half of the officials in the court are his protégés.

He dedicated his life to the Southern Han Dynasty, but Liu Sheng was usually afraid of him. Liu Sheng successively killed almost all the men in the imperial lineage to consolidate his throne. In order to keep her young son Liu Gong, the king of Yongshao, and Liu Sheng to win over Lu Ying, Lu Ya entered the palace and became Mrs. Ya. Lu Ying never favored forces, Liu Sheng did not hesitate to close his eyes in order to win his support, and carried Lu Ya into Xiuhua Palace with his eyes closed, although he never stayed overnight in Xiuhua Palace where Lu Ya lived, but he handed over his young eldest son Wei Wang to Lu Ya to take care of.

Lu Ying still behaves like that, but at least he won't be so picky from now on, and he still does his Zhongshu Lang Tongping Zhang. But Liu Sheng was relieved, Lu Ying's suggestions and political opinions in the past few years have made many dissenting voices and forces in the DPRK and China dare not overdo it, and Liu Sheng has Lu Ying's help, and he is much easier in state affairs, so for Liu Sheng, a man, Mrs. Ya is a piece of chicken ribs.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Liu Sheng said as if talking to himself: "I hope that my arrangement can be perfect and everything will go well!" ”

An inner eunuch hurriedly walked in from outside the hall, glanced at it with low eyebrows, and Shi Shao, who was standing on the side, bowed to Liu Sheng and said, "Your Majesty, the three adults Wang Fu Li Yu, Qu Ju, and Wang Yu are waiting outside the hall!" ”

Liu Sheng announced that the three of them were in the meeting, and Shi Shao retreated slightly, and his demeanor naturally calmed down, but Yang Jiong did not move a little inside, and the half-hanging bead curtain automatically hung down with a flick of his hand. Over the years, he has become accustomed to avoiding the ministers of the DPRK and China, so as not to embarrass Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng sat upright, and a palace maid on the side took a Kowloon yellow brocade robe and cloak to put on him. I saw that Li Yu, Qu Ju, and Wang Yu rushed in, and gave Liu Sheng a courtesy, and Liu Sheng inevitably said some polite words, thanking everyone for welcoming King Wei back to Beijing and so on.

I saw Liu Sheng go straight to the topic and asked Li Yu about the situation of welcoming King Wei and the feeling of the way. Li Yu saw that Liu Sheng's narrow phoenix eyes were bright, although there seemed to be no doubt, but there was obviously some inquiry.

Think about it before, when King Wei was injured and went to Luofu Mountain for medical treatment, Liu Sheng once wanted to give up on him. Although Daozun later helped him to change his intentions, Li Yu was also a character who became a jing, knowing that Liu Sheng already had a plan in his heart, and recalled that King Wei summoned a few of his people to the room last night, he couldn't help but groan, straightened his clothes and made a big salute to Liu Sheng.

"The luck of the Han, the luck of Your Majesty, the luck of the people!" Li Yu said loudly with an excited face: "Please give an order to Your Majesty, the minister is willing to resign from the title of the Ministry of Rites, and fully assist His Highness to go to the palace to wash the horses!" ”

"Oh!" Liu Sheng's eyes and face couldn't hide the look of surprise, because this Xima was only a subordinate official in the prince's mansion, and the Han obviously hadn't established a prince yet, so he couldn't help but say quickly: "Li Aiqing has always been steady, and he has always been an example for the ministers, how can he be so out of shape for the sake of the young slaves, is he reckless and reckless!" ”

Li Yu didn't answer, he paused and didn't believe Fang Cai's words, and said: "It's still a good omen for this trip to be enlightened by the Dao Zun Immortals, and there is an auspicious omen for the Great Han!" Even with his mentality, he couldn't help but his voice seemed to tremble a little, after all, Daozun Shi Zhenren was an immortal in Liu Sheng's heart.

In order to consolidate his power, he has always sent many eyes and ears, and it can be said that he knows everything about Luofu Mountain's trip, but because he is afraid of the majesty of Daozun, he does not dare to approach Naguan Miao and the others and the people who are close to the king, so naturally he has some inside stories that are not very clear. But he knew Li Jin's vision, and he couldn't help but look forward to it. But seeing that Li Yu didn't say anything, he couldn't help but signal the inner eunuchs and palace maids on the side to step down, and Fang looked at the three of them with a smile.

Who knew that Li Yu hadn't opened his mouth to answer, but the song sentence, which had never had too many words, stepped forward half a step, and after giving a salute to Liu Sheng, he clenched his fists and said in a deep voice behind the bead curtain: "Mr. Yang should know that Xia Qinghou is this person!" Although Qu Jie has never shown off what he has learned, even Liu Sheng couldn't help but stare at him at this opening, and his face was resolute and did not change color.

"White-clothed and silver-speared Xia Qinghou!" With a surprise, the bead curtain soft tent flew up again, Yang Jiong's eyes burst into light, and he actually flew out, and arrived at Qu Ju's side in the blink of an eye. He was covered in clothes and robes, and there was no wind and automatic, which made people feel a sense of overwhelming pressure.

Li Yu obviously saw him for the first time, and he had also heard for a long time that there were a few guests around the emperor, although he did not practice martial arts, but looking at the song and the Du Yu Hou named Shi Shao on the side, he was extremely respectful, and he couldn't help but nod.

"Hahahaha, it's really Your Majesty's great luck, this person is one of the two people Fang Caichen didn't dare to think about. Judging from today's examples, it should be passed on by the rivers and lakes, and it is really the second disciple of the Daozun Immortals, and now he ranks third on the Qiyi list, this gentleman has always been arrogant and arrogant, and he retired on the rivers and lakes five years ago, and never put everyone in the world in his eyes! ”

Yang Jiong muttered to himself with a look of thought: "Daozun Immortal has cultivated all his life, and he doesn't like his disciples to get involved in the mundane affairs of the rivers and lakes, so although this gentleman is famous all over the world, no one knows his origin!" He looked at Qu Gu again and asked, "General Qu, is this really the person next to His Highness!?" ”

"Exactly, this person calls himself Xia Qinghou, and there is a woman named Xiao Yue, and she even claims to be here to serve His Highness!" Li Yu said to Liu Sheng: "Previously, these two people suddenly appeared beside His Highness in the post house, and the ministers did not notice it, even Lord Qu and General Wu could not know his whereabouts, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you for your crimes!" ”

Liu Sheng waved his hand, he already knew about it, but he just wanted to confirm it again, there was no unhappiness on his face, but a smile.

Qu Ji nodded to Yang Jiong in response, and then said to Liu Sheng: "Since childhood, the minister has studied the "Old Soul Chasing Knife" handed down from family to family for two hundred years, and he also thinks he is quite successful in front of Mr. Yang. But after seeing him at that time, I didn't know how to feel itchy, and I wanted to test him several times, but I was ashamed that they were like mud cows entering the sea, and there was no reaction at all. When he entered the capital in the afternoon, he changed the guards to protect His Highness, and the minister wanted to enter the palace with Lord Li and Lord Wang to see His Majesty, and he suddenly approached and passed a few words to His Highness! ”

When he said this, he suddenly looked frightened, looked at Yang Jiong blankly and said: "At that time, he was only a fist away from the minister, but the minister didn't notice it at all, he just felt as if he appeared out of thin air!" At this time, he clenched his hands into fists, and his face looked different, obviously recalling the situation at that time, his palms were full of sweat.

Liu Sheng's eyes inadvertently flashed, and suddenly disappeared, and seemed to return to the cloudy feeling, as if he was pondering.

"The spirit is restrained, back to basics!" Yang Jiong's quiet voice echoed in the main hall, and he said lightly: "There is even that wonderful heart Wen Ji Xiao Qi Niangzi." When he reached his level, hearing that Xia Qinghou, who was also ranked third on the Qiyi list, Yang Jiong's heart suddenly seemed to have a fire burning, not to mention the realm of Xia Qinghou, it was this woman named Xiao Yue, who was also one of the most famous girls in the rivers and lakes today!

On a rainy night the year before last, Yang Jiong's cultivation finally broke through the bottleneck again after reaching the innate realm for many years, and reached the enviable realm of refinement and restraint and return to the basics.

After more than a year of consolidation and strengthening, it is now the best state at this level. But compared with his friend Liu Sichao, who ranked sixth on the Qiyi list, and was known as the ghost hand master on the rivers and lakes, Yang Jiong knew that he was not sure of the challenge.

Not to mention this Xia Qinghou, who is at the top of the Qiyi list, and now he suddenly hears his realm, just like a mountaineer who has conquered his feet, only to find a more beautiful and steep peak, which is the feeling in front of him.

At this moment, Yang Jiong's heartstrings had been touched, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and a wave of joy overflowed from his face. His eyes closed slightly, and in an instant, his divine consciousness spread infinitely, spreading along the palace. Suddenly, as if he had caught something, the person suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and his body disappeared like a gust of wind. Ignoring Liu Sheng's imperial majesty, he and several courtiers were still by his side.

Liu Sheng seemed to be used to seeing it, and was silent for a moment, but said lightly to a few people: "Since the three Aiqing are here, I won't beat around the bush." King Wei has been stubborn and indulgent since childhood, and only suffered this catastrophe a few months ago. Who knows that I am fortunate to see the gods, God bless my big man! Over the years, I have been fortunate to have worked hard to teach Aiqing, and I hope to continue to do my best to assist King Wei in the future, and I want to establish him as a prince! Speaking of this, his eyes sharpened, and his voice was like an irresistible force, but there was a joy between his eyebrows and eyes.

The corners of his eyebrows, which had always been taciturn, seemed to rise; Although Li Yu's eyes were full of joy, when he saw Liu Sheng looking at Wang Yu on the side, Ling Ran didn't squeak in his heart; Wang Yu didn't seem to have any expression on his face, and suddenly bowed to Liu Sheng's gaze, and was about to speak, but who knew that Liu Sheng stopped her with a wave of his hand, as if he knew that she was going to speak.

"I have something to ask Young Master Wang!" Liu Sheng stood up, looked at Li Yu and Qu with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "Wang Yu listens to the order!" ”

Wang Yu looked surprised and surprised, so he had to kneel down slowly.

"There is a history of Zhenzhou Thorn, Enhou Wang Jinu Wang Yu has been erudite and talented since childhood, more virtuous and intelligent, and now he is awarded the prince and young master, plus the waiter to study for a bachelor's degree, and enter the service, admire this!" Liu Sheng read it out slowly, but the three of them listened to it with their scalps exploding.

Although Wang Yu is one of the three divisions of the kings and is also highly respected among the literati of Xingwangfu, he has not been able to reuse it because he is a woman, let alone a middle-level official in the Han Dynasty. But Liu Sheng's thinking is not guessed, and in his hands, there is now a bachelor in the only maid of the five generations, Lu Qiongxian, and Huang Qiongzhi, who is gradually falling out of favor.

But it is very different to teach a bachelor like Wang Yu, because the bachelor of the Wenlin Pavilion in the former Tang Dynasty was only responsible for teaching and studying. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, there were only scholars of the Jixian Palace, and their position was to draft the order and participate in secrets. It can be said that the bachelor of the Han Dynasty is equivalent to the authority of part of the ruler, and the servant is originally equivalent to Tongping Zhangshi, and he entered the senior official at once, and he was promoted several levels. Everyone present knew that Liu Sheng's golden mouth opened, and they didn't know what he meant, so they were stunned for a while. The young master of the prince and the servant who don't understand it are still at a different level, not to mention how the official who assists the prince has entered the center again!

"The South China Sea Assassin Li listened to the order, gave Tongping Zhangshi, added the prince and young master, entered the door to serve Lang, and allowed to attack the emperor and marquis; The governor of Shaozhou listened to the decree, and really awarded the Zhenzhou Festival envoy, added the prince Shaobao, the right attendant of the military department, and attacked the Marquis of Xianning! ”

But an incongruous voice sounded, "Your Majesty, please take back the order, the minister really doesn't dare to accept such a high position brazenly!" Wang Yu knelt down and said quietly.

Liu Sheng's face sank suddenly, and a pair of Danfeng's long eyes stared coldly at Wang Yu who was kneeling underground: "Young Master Wang, Master Wang, give me a reason!" His title has been changed, and it is obvious that Wang Yu cannot refuse.

Wang Yu sighed in his heart, but without a trace of panic, he took out a roll of paper from his wide sleeve, raised his hand and presented it to Liu Sheng, and said lightly: "Please Your Majesty preview it first, and then condemn the disrespect of the minister!" ”

Liu Sheng hesitated for a moment, but slowly took it and slowly opened it, his eyes kept staring at Wang Yu, and seeing that she was nothing wrong, he came to see the things on the paper.
