The content of the decree was to officially canonize Liu Yao as an auxiliary king. In this way, Liu Yao has just won the great merit of destroying the Jin Dynasty, and now he is in power, and it can be said that he is a figure under one person and above ten thousand people in the entire Han Kingdom. After waiting for Liu Yao to respectfully place the holy decree on the incense case, the inner eunuch who announced the decree said to Liu Yao with a flattering face: "Your Majesty also asked the prince to go to the palace to talk about it. ”

Liu Yao naturally still wanted to enter the palace to thank him, so he said, "Father-in-law, wait a minute, wait for me to change my clothes." "Because of official business, of course, you have to change into court clothes to show your attention.

But the father-in-law grabbed Liu Yao and said, "Your Majesty said, it's just that the brothers are talking about family life, and they don't have to be so formal, let the prince wear ordinary clothes, it's too formal, and Your Majesty feels uncomfortable." ”

Liu Yao didn't care anymore when he heard this, and went directly into the palace with the inner eunuch. Liu Yao went directly to Liu Cong's study, and saw Liu Cong lying on the couch, his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, one hand resting on his head, and he looked uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Before he had time to see the ceremony, Liu Yao walked directly to Liu Cong's side, looked at his painful face, and asked with concern, "But what's uncomfortable?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Cong opened his eyes and glanced at Liu Yao, waved his hand, and said, "Maybe I drank too much last night and had a headache." After that, he pointed to the position next to him and said, "Sit down." ”

Liu Yao didn't sit down directly, but knelt down and said solemnly: "Your Majesty Longen, to assist the government ......"

Almost before the words were spoken, Liu Cong sat up impatiently, pulled Liu Yao up from the ground, and said very dissatisfied: "If you are told to sit, you can sit, why do we brothers pay attention to these vain things?" And there are no outsiders. ”

Since he ascended the throne, Liu Cong often feels lonely, the ministers who are close to him all grovel one by one, except for Liu Yao, the rest of the brothers are not very close, not to mention that because of Liu He's death, they are also very cautious, not often with Liu Cong, Liu Ling has his own son to take care of, plus after Sima Chi's incident, it seems to look down on everything, and it is easy not to come to the palace, in the harem, the queen is not in good health, and the concubines are fighting openly and secretly to make him tired, there is only one Liu Yao left, who has been fighting outside all these years, Who knew that when he came back, he would become a submissive appearance, sticking to etiquette, and refusing to trespass half a step, didn't even he know that he didn't like these rules the most? Isn't it good to be as happy as you used to be?

Liu Yao saw Liu Cong's troubled appearance and no longer insisted on being polite, although he did not often see Liu Cong over the years, but the correspondence and official letters have not been broken, occasionally Liu Cong will also show a little loneliness and vulnerability, more than once said that when he comes back, he must drink a few more glasses and laugh a few times. But Liu Cong can think so, but Liu Yao can't, he is a good younger brother, but he is also a courtier, especially now that he has great power and a heavy army, he can only be more cautious and not arouse suspicion, even if only the two brothers are present, he can't relax too much.

"I wanted to get drunk with you for a few days and nights, but my body didn't allow it." Liu Cong pinched his forehead and said helplessly: "Thinking about it, my father's health is much better than mine, and he is still very energetic at my age." ”

Liu Yao became more and more uneasy, and asked, "How could the fourth brother say such depressing words?" But what's really unwell? ”

"I often have headaches, and I don't have much strength in my body." Liu Cong said truthfully: "If there is any major problem, it will not be enough, but it is a little inadequate." He patted Liu Yao on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry, now that you're back, just share more for me, plus Cang'er has also grown up, so it should be used." ”

After Liu Cong finished speaking, he got up and went to the desk to pick up a notebook and handed it to Liu Yao, motioning him to look through it. Liu Yao opened it, and it was another note, ready to make Liu Cang the crown prince.

"That's a good thing." Liu Yao said with a smile: "Cang'er is older, it is indeed time to cultivate." ”

Liu Cong let out a long sigh and said: "Big is big, but it doesn't look like a promising person, I don't have the idea of making him the prince, and marrying him is also hoping that he will start a family first and then start a business, but this ......"

Liu Cong's rest of the words were not spoken, but Liu Yao understood, last night Liu Cang toasted him, and his preferences for the Jin family could not be concealed in his words, and in the two days since he came back, he also heard a lot of Yang Xianrong, including Liu Cang's fear of provoking Liu Cong's unpleasant words.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, when you are older, you naturally have your own opinions, and besides, the young couple will not be married soon, and there are some who are tired." Liu Yao persuaded: "You are a father, don't you still want your child to have a harmonious and beautiful home?" ”

"The Jin family was originally a weak woman, so there is really nothing to worry about." Liu Cong paused and said, "But the Jin family behind her is not a good stubble. At that time, I didn't want him to marry the Jin family, but the Jin family was the queen's mother's family, and the queen's health has been getting worse and worse recently, and I was also trying to fulfill her wishes, but now it seems that this family business is indeed a mistake. "Qiqi Chinese Network

Liu Cong's original queen Jin and Liu Cong and his wife have a deep relationship, that Jin is gentle and elegant, show off wisdom, very much like a Jiangnan lady, not quite like a Hun woman, the Jin family behind the Jin family is also developed because of the Jin family, but the Jin family is very measured, not to let the mother's family touch her light, but seeing that her health is not very good, the Jin family is afraid that the backer will fall, and they will never have a future, so they begged the Jin family to take their young sister into the palace, and also became Liu Cong's side concubine.

Jin's youngest sister is just twenty years old, and she is still favored after entering the palace, but it is all for the sake of Jin's face. But after this Jin family's illness, she couldn't stand the mother's family and kept lamenting in front of her, she was also a little confused, she was really afraid that the Jin family would collapse after she had three long and two short, obviously her young sister couldn't support the whole family, so she set her sights on her son, and married her niece to Liu Cang, originally Liu Cang was unwilling, although he was young, but he understood the twists and turns in the court, and he also understood what the Jin family was doing, but he couldn't bear his mother's request on the sickbed, and his father also acquiesced, He married his cousin, who knew that after marriage, he found that this cousin was not only beautiful, but also lively, sharp teeth, which really made him like it very much, he also lost his mind, and only wanted to please his beloved wife, and he had long forgotten how to prevent the Jin family.

"You know," Liu Cong continued: "I was really forced to seize the throne at that time, I was born to my father's side concubine, and inheriting the throne is not justified, so I thought about making Liu Yi, the biological son of the first empress, the emperor's younger brother, but he resolutely refused to accept it, so I gave up my original plan." But Liu Cang, it really makes me feel uneasy. ”

Liu Yi was on Liu Cong's side when Liu Cong and Liu He were competing for the throne, and because he was the son of the former queen, Liu Cong wanted to help Liu Yi ascend the throne, but Liu Yi was unwilling. It's just that Liu Yi has always been low-key, despite his noble status, he has always adhered to his duty, and he has never been too close to Liu Cong, this time the prince suddenly stood on his body, he should even resign, since the throne is already Liu Cong's, then naturally Liu Cong's son should inherit the throne, and it makes no sense for him to ascend the throne as the emperor.

"The fourth brother is in the prime of life, what are you worried about so much?" Liu Yao said: "Cang'er is still young, it will always be good to have more experience." ”

"So I entrust him to you, and you must take care of him." Liu Cong said solemnly: "He is young, his heart is uncertain, he doesn't know the southeast and northwest after being blown by the Jin family, you have to lead him to the right path, our battle is not over, the world has not yet been unified, I can't hand over the world to a hairy boy who doesn't understand anything." Liu Cong sighed: "I'm old and don't have much energy, who else can I rely on if I don't rely on you at this time?" ”

Liu Yao nodded, got up and saluted Liu Cong, and said, "The minister's order." After that, he raised his head, looked at Liu Cong and said seriously: "Fourth brother, don't worry, I will do my best if you give it to me." ”

Liu Cong was satisfied, helped Liu Yao up, and said with a smile: "You will work harder, I know that you have just come back from the battlefield and want to live a stable life with your younger brothers and sisters, you can rest assured, when these are all resolved, everything is on the right track, I will allow you what kind of life you want to live, you go back and say good things to your younger brothers and sisters, and you will never bluff you as a brother." ”

Liu Yao said a little embarrassedly: "Rong'er is not such an unreasonable person. ”

"That'll be fine." Liu Cong said and beckoned people to bring the chessboard, and said: "Come on, come on, you and my brother and good man haven't killed a game for a long time, you have been fighting the battlefield all year round, and I have been nesting in this palace all year round, see if I am your opponent now." ”

"Brother's head doesn't hurt anymore?" Liu Yao asked.

"Huh," Liu Cong waved his hand indifferently: "It doesn't hurt to see you, play chess." ”

Liu Cong hasn't been so happy for a long time, Liu Yao hasn't been so relaxed for a long time, the two brothers played five games of chess in a row, which is enjoyable, and then look out the window, the sky is already dark, Liu Cong left Liu Yao to eat. After eating, Liu Cong no longer had a reason to stay with Liu Yao, so he was a little reluctant to let Liu Yao go.

"Fourth brother, what's wrong? Now that I'm back, I won't leave again for a while, and my brother wants to play chess again, so he calls me. Liu Yao said with a smile.

"Nothing." Liu Cong looked a little depressed and said, "It's just happy." ”

Liu Yao was about to leave, when suddenly an internal eunuch walked in with a notebook and said to Liu Cong: "Your Majesty, the King of Hanoi asks to see you." ”

"So late? Cang'er is afraid that there is something important. Liu Yao said.

Liu Cong took the notebook in the hands of the internal supervisor, spread it out and looked at it, his face changed suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "Liu Yi, rebellion? ”
