Chapter Fifty-Six: The Mysterious Man in the Teahouse
"Now don't say that it is a national disaster, Your Majesty is in poor health, if he has any three long and two short dynasties, our family will be in great trouble!" "Your Majesty will be fine, besides, isn't there His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" "After all, it's a bit more estranged, you listen to me, just go and see it, if that strategist can really come up with a few useful ideas, it won't be in vain for us to make this trip, if it really wastes its reputation. Then let's take a look at others, can Dad still make you suffer anyway? Liu Huizu nodded reluctantly: "Dad, it is also difficult for my son to do things in the court, and he is tired every day, it is enough for us to meet the strategists once, and I will not go with you in the future, I hope you will not listen to the slander of these people." ”
Extremely reluctant, Liu Huizu followed his father to a dilapidated small teahouse, he frowned and looked at the dirty tables and chairs in front of him, and refused to sit down. Uncle Liu asked for a pot of tea, and drank it on the side, as if the tea was some kind of peerless wine, Liu Huizu looked at him angrily: "You want to ask him to be in the restaurant, it's really okay to let him go to our house, why do you want to come to this teahouse that I don't know where it is." "Huizu, sit down and have a cup of tea with the old man." Liu Huizu sat down very reluctantly, looked at the teacup, the workmanship was rough, not as exquisite as the official kiln he used on weekdays, he cleaned the teacup twice with boiling water before pouring a cup of tea. "Who are you waiting for?" "I don't know when he'll come, but that's where he drinks tea on weekdays."
It turned out that his father didn't have an appointment with anyone at all, Liu Huizu thought about his son when he was busy until now, and he finally went home and was sneaked around by his father, he was a little annoyed, but he still endured and said to his father: "Dad, who do you want to see, just tell your subordinates no, why do you have to wait here yourself?" In the depths of this place, where cloth clothes gather, there are cooks and actors everywhere, how can you come to such a place with such an identity? He lowered his voice: "The son of the advance does not sit in the court, this principle is still taught to me, now there may be rebel assassins in the city, you let me come here, what if I can't go back?" This place should not stay for a long time, let's evacuate? ”
Uncle Liu didn't seem to hear him at all, his eyes were still looking at the door from afar, still waiting for the strategist to appear, suddenly, his hand grabbed Liu Huizu's sleeve, "Huizu! You see! That's him! Liu Huizu squinted his eyes and saw that this person was dressed in sackcloth, with a cloth belt and headband, and looked about forty years old. It looks like a refreshment seller. ”
"Lord Shangshu said that he laughed, the grass people don't sell refreshments, and they sing and sing every day." Liu Huizu heard a voice behind him, and hurriedly turned around, but saw that the man was already standing behind him. Although he was a little shocked in his heart, he still refused to forgive: "You said that you are singing, which drama in the world has a beard?" "The grass folk sing a puppet show." Liu Huizu nodded: "Then you go to tea, I'll invite you." The actor raised an eyebrow, "Okay." ”
While he was looking for Xiao Er, Liu Huizu turned to his father: "This is the strategist you are talking about?" It's like a ghost in broad daylight, it's too scary. Uncle Liu Guo said: "As soon as he sees you, he knows your official position, is this not a god?" You said you wanted to invite him to tea, and we spent the money to see what he was capable of, can't you? Liu Huizu reluctantly sat down again. The man approached, and Liu Huizu asked, "How do you know who I am?" The drama said: "Liu Shangshu is wise and world-famous, next time if you don't want people to guess that it is you, let your subordinates put your carriage farther away, don't stop at the door of the teahouse." The embarrassed Liu Huizu could only clear his throat: "I actually deliberately want to test you, in fact, I..."
This was robbed by Uncle Liu Guo: "Actually, our father and son are here to ask Mr. for advice, and it is rumored that Mr. is only eight buckets high, and he knows everything in the sky and on the ground, so he came here to wait." The drama nodded: "It turns out that the two of you came to me for this, and it is rumored that it is just a joke made by the villagers, please don't take it seriously." Today, Liu Shangshu invited me to eat this meal, and I won't eat yours in vain, and I also invited Liu Shangshu to enter the palace to guard the queen's soul. ”
A woman, who also died in the enemy barracks, is innocent. Liu Huizu snorted coldly: "I'm not feeling well, it's not suitable to go, and now the military affairs are busy..." Liu Huizu approached the man, "Why should I go?" "Just by virtue of this, she is the biological mother of His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Prince's masters are all well-informed people." Liu Huizu nodded: "What you said makes sense, I don't know the name of Mr., can you talk about it?" Liu Mouhao set up a banquet for Mr. to catch the wind and wash the dust. "My name is Chu Weimin, since the adults sincerely invite, then I have to agree, but there is no need to set up a banquet, it is too eye-catching, I just need a few plates of good dishes and a few pots of good wine."
In the Imperial Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serving at the Emperor's bedside, and His Majesty the Emperor has woken up, but is still very weak. When he saw the prince serving at the bedside, he hurriedly asked, "Where is your mother?" "The Empress Dowager's Azusa Palace has stopped in the palace." "Then why are you here with me, why don't you do your filial piety in front of your mother!" "Father, don't worry, son-in-law will go." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out of the palace gate and saw that his husband was walking towards him, and he hurriedly greeted him: "Sir, why are you here?" "Your Highness, why aren't you in front of the queen's spirit?" "I'm not worried about my father's body." "Your Royal Highness, please also share your worries for Your Majesty, now Your Majesty is overly worried because of the affairs of the queen's mother, I must want to see you do your filial piety in front of the mother's spirit, instead of being in a dilemma."
The crown prince nodded: "It's still my husband who taught me to make me pause, don't worry, I will definitely not make my father angry again." Taifu nodded, and looked at Tianjiao uneasily: "There have been a lot of accidents recently, please take care of your health, don't be rash." Tianjiao looked at him: "Now I can only trust Mr. "Liu Huizu has been making frequent moves recently, and I am afraid that he will not be subordinate, and I hope His Highness will take more precautions." "Sir, I always thought that Liu Shangshu was a loyal and capable general." "Your Highness, who can the ministers divide into, Your Majesty and Liu Shangshu have grown up together since childhood, so Liu Shangshu has always been loyal. Now that His Majesty is in poor health, Liu Shangshu can be loyal to His Majesty, but not necessarily to His Highness. ”
