Chapter 162: Liu Yao first arrived in the Han Kingdom
Liu Yao returned to Liu Yuan's side, and he was really like a fish in water. When he first entered the Han Kingdom, he was named General Jianwei, and in the first battle, he led his troops to attack the Hyun clan, and conquered it in a few days. Liu Yao has a very high military talent and war talent, and I have to say that he is a natural general.
Although Liu Yuan's morale is fierce, most of the generals are reckless, and it is okay to fight and kill, but it is not possible to use strategies and tactics, so they have suffered no less on the battlefield. Liu Yao grew up in Luoyang since he was a child, learned the culture of the Central Plains, read the Four Books and Five Classics, and knew and thought more clearly than anyone else about the people of the Central Plains.
Knowing that Liu Yao was back, Liu Yuan personally led people out of the city to greet him, and when he saw his son, he patted him on the shoulder excitedly and shouted loudly: "My family's Qianli Horse is back." ”
Liu Yao wanted to worship at the moment, but was pulled up by Liu Yuan, looked at him carefully, said "yes" three times in a row, and laughed and said to the subordinates behind him: "When my son returns, I will celebrate for three days in a row, eat meat in large pieces, drink wine in a big bowl, and don't get drunk and don't return." ”
Liu Yao hasn't seen his father for a few years, he was a little restrained when he first met, his father was a lot older than before, in the end, he was old, and he did this rebellious thing, and he had a lot of labor to worry about. Liu Yao's heart was sour, although he was not his own child, but Liu Yuan had always been kind to him, even his own son could not be compared, from the day he called him his father, he took the young man with him, did everything himself, and taught him what he had learned all his life. When he was older and took a fancy to the girl of the Yang family, his father did not say anything against it, and even when he wanted to take her away, he did not have the slightest scruple about what kind of disaster this would bring to the Liu family, but chose to support it. Later, when he entered Goguryeo, Liu Yuan actively rescued him, and kept writing to encourage him, telling him not to give up his efforts, because he always had a way to let him return to the Central Plains. He came back, turned his back on his father, and chose to live in seclusion with Yang Xianrong, Liu Yuan should have been extremely disappointed at that time, but he never blamed him, and now that he is back, and he is so warmly welcomed, he can feel that Liu Yuan is really happy. Liu Yao blamed himself in his heart, he always wanted to be worthy of anyone, and he always wanted to live up to anyone when making decisions, but the first person to live up to was Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan's enthusiasm and happiness made Liu Yao quickly fade away from that bit of restraint, and his respect and longing for his father churned up, he suddenly turned red, lowered his head, and shouted "father".
Liu Yuan patted Liu Yao's shoulder again with relief, and held his hand like he did when he was a child, and said gently: "How old are you, why are you still crying?" Let's go, let's go home, and let my father see if your skills have regressed over the years. ”
Liu Yao smiled embarrassedly and followed Liu Yuan into the city. Liu Yuan's mansion was originally an official office in the city, but after Liu Yuan established the Han Kingdom, he expanded the official office and became his residence and a place for officials to discuss war and government affairs. The interior of the house is very large, with the front part being the office and the back part being the place where the family lives.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Liu Yuan took Liu Yao to a small martial arts arena, threw him a knife, and the two competed. Liu Yao opened a martial arts gym in Goguryeo in recent years, and after he arrived in Qiantang, he taught Xiao Hu kung fu, and he did not delay, he always practiced kung fu for more than an hour every day, and his ability did not fall behind. Liu Yuan is not as good as before, in addition to being older, he has been running around in the past two years, and he has also delayed a lot. However, after dozens of rounds, Liu Yuan lost the upper hand, simply threw away the weapon, waved his hand and said: "The future is terrible, the future is terrible, I am old in the end, and I am not as good as you." ”
"Where's Father?" Liu Yao put his weapons on the table and said modestly: "If my father hadn't asked me, I'm afraid that there would be two hundred more rounds, and I wouldn't be your opponent." ”
Liu Yuan took the handkerchief handed by his servant and wiped his hands, and when he heard Liu Yao say this, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "My son has grown up." Okay, I won't dominate you, your third and fourth aunts are still waiting for you in the backyard, I haven't seen you for so many years, they are all talking about you, go and see them. ”
Liu Yao hurriedly lowered his head and said yes, and after retreating, he was led by someone to the courtyard where the third aunt lived. Liu Yuan's third and fourth ladies all sent people to take out of Luoyang City before Liu Yuan's rebellion, the situation in Luoyang was worse day by day, Liu Yuan was worried that someone would use his family as a bargaining chip to blackmail him to do something he didn't want to do, plus his son-in-law Sima Zun's previous experience, he quickly asked someone to bring out the family in Luoyang City, but it was also the king of Hejian who forgot Liu Yuan's family, and the trip to pick up people was very smooth.
The third aunt and the fourth aunt were already waiting in one place, and when they saw Liu Yao coming, they hurriedly stepped forward, one held hands, the other touched their faces, and kept chanting: "It's really grown up and strong." ”
Liu Yao hadn't seen the two of them for a long time, and he was a little embarrassed at this time, so he broke free of the hands of the two of them slightly, bowed and saluted, but was pulled by the two of them, and sighed. The third lady and the fourth lady have been in Liu's mansion for a long time, they watched Liu Yao grow up, the two had no children under their knees, so they regarded Liu Yao and Liu Ling as their own, and later Liu Yao went to Goguryeo, Liu Ling also married out of Liu's mansion, there was no one else around the two, they often felt lonely, and often talked to Liu Yuan to let Liu Yao come back, and now that Liu Yao is really back, how can the two not be happy? Pythagorean Library
The third lady is not in good health, as early as when Liu Ling was not married, she had a serious illness, although the illness was cured, it fell to the roots, and it has been hard to hold on for so many years, today I don't know if there is a tomorrow, how can I think that there is still a chance to see Liu Yao, at this time I was even more excited, grabbing him and crying.
Liu Yao didn't know how to comfort him, but the fourth lady saw Liu Yao's crampedness, so she stopped the third lady and said, "The children are back, you are not in good health, you can't be so excited." Yao'er won't leave in the future, and she can always accompany you. ”
"Why don't you leave?" The third lady glanced at Liu Yao with teary eyes, and said distressedly: "He didn't come back to enjoy the blessings, he was going to war, I really don't know how many times I can see each other." ”
When Liu Yao heard this, he hurriedly hugged the third lady and said with relief: "Sanniang is too worried, I am not in a hurry to go to the battlefield, I will be Ming's father when I catch up with Ming'er, and I will accompany you at home for a few more days." ”
"That's not good." The third lady hurriedly stopped: "You have been delayed for many years, but you can't delay it because of me." You see that those brothers of yours have already come out of their heads, and they have made meritorious contributions, and you can't leave them too far behind. Even your eldest brother, who was disgusted by your father for doing foolish things back then, has now regained appreciation for his military exploits, and if you don't work harder, he will be trampled under his feet. ”
Liu He, the son of the Liu family, was heavily blamed by Liu Yuan for deliberately making bad intentions to kill Liu Yao, and he was not treated well for several years, after Liu Yuan founded the country, he did his best to make meritorious contributions on the field, especially among several brothers, which made Liu Yuan impressed with him. Liu Yuan founded the country, although he was not called the emperor, but the heir always had to be chosen, Liu He hated Liu Yao, once he inherited Liu Yuan's position, I am afraid that Liu Yao will not have a good life.
Although it was still early to say all this, the third lady had to tell Liu Yao in advance. That Liu He was originally Liu Yao's son-in-law, and he always thought that he was nobler than other brothers, but Liu Yuan valued talent and virtue regardless of his birth, and there was no difference between him and other brothers, and he loved Liu Yao even more, which made Liu He jealous.
Liu He is not a worry-free master when he is a child, because he can't get used to seeing the third lady and the fourth lady being Han and have to be valued by his father, he often embarrass them, and often uses some tricks to trick them, the two have never dealt with him, but after the incident that harmed Liu Yao, the two began to guard against him, and people with bad hearts will only worry about themselves when they do things. Liu Yuan didn't know that this son had a loss of morality, but now he lacked people in his hands, and he had to use all available people, but employing people is one thing, and choosing an heir is another thing, although Liu Yuan has never mentioned this matter, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Yuan obviously prefers Liu Cong more than Liu He. If Liu Cong successfully inherits Liu Yuan's position in the future, he has always been kind to Liu Yao, but he is afraid that Liu He will use some insidious tricks, if he becomes the next King of Han, don't say Liu Cong and Liu Yao, even the third lady and the fourth lady will not have a good end.
Even if it is for themselves, the third lady and the fourth lady must do their best to let Liu Yao come out, he is a righteous son, it should be unlikely to inherit the position of the king of Han, but as long as he has the ability to assist Liu Cong, it will also get twice the result with half the effort, which is very beneficial to both public and private.
"You don't know your eldest brother," the fourth lady also sighed, and said: "Relying on himself to win a few battles, and once solved your father's crisis, but he regarded himself as a character, he was already in the outside of the mansion, but he still ran back from time to time, and he said that he was serving his father, but who didn't know that he was staring at Liu Cong, for fear that your father would contact Liu Cong alone, your father knew in his heart, and it was not easy to do it now." ”
Liu Yao frowned, he hated these twists and turns in the family the most, he didn't care who his father chose, because he believed in his father's vision, he came back to help his father and brother, not to participate in these infighting, if he paid attention to these parents all day long, what was the difference between it and the Jin Dynasty? Before the great cause was accomplished, it collapsed on its own.
The fourth lady knew that Liu Yao was angry, and when she saw that he didn't speak, she also sighed and said, "I know that you don't like to listen to this, but we have to say these things, even if you don't care, you have to know in your heart, your eldest brother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, it is always right for you to be careful." ”
Liu Yao straightened his face at this time, nodded solemnly, and said, "Sanniang and Siniang reminded me, the child remembered." ”
