"Your Highness..."

A soldier came out of the house and said, "Duke Yuan still has some things, so you don't have to wait here..."

"Thank you, then I'll go to the study to study, and I hope to tell Shijun..."

"Sincerely."

Liu Mastiff said goodbye, then left, walked to the backyard, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi stood aside, looked at each other coldly, without words, saw Liu Mastiff come in, the two hurriedly walked over, Zhuge Liang asked: "Your Highness, I just saw the yellow gate in the palace, but there are ministers who come to discuss with Yuan Gong?" ”

Liu Mastiff nodded and said with a smile: "Situ Lu Gong and the servant shoot Xun Jun... The two of them are still talking to Shijun... Let's go to the study first and wait...", Zhuge Liang glanced at Sima Yi, didn't know what he remembered, nodded, and the three of them walked into the study, knelt down, Liu Mastiff picked up a book, and was about to start.

Zhuge Liang suddenly asked: "Your Highness, they will bring you over, have they asked you anything?" ”

"Yes, they asked me, how is the new deal today..."

Zhuge Liang frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness didn't say anything?" ”

"They are all important ministers of the country, and they are older and I have repeatedly asked how I can not answer, and I told them that it is okay not to act, but not to harm the people..."

"Alas... Your Highness! This! Zhuge Liang looked at him a little helplessly, and said: "Your Highness, this matter can't be suspected of it, Your Majesty and Cao Gong are doing their best to implement the new policy, Your Majesty's words will definitely be heard by the Son of Heaven and Cao Gong, at that time, it will be a monstrous disaster!" ”

Hearing Zhuge Liang's explanation, Sima Yi rarely did not refute it, nor did he nod in agreement.

"Kong Ming... So what? Now that the new policy is being implemented, I don't know the stakes, if it is harmful to the people, I will bear the scourge of killing, and I will definitely speak out..."Liu Mastiff said solemnly, Zhuge Liang opened his mouth wide, looked at Liu Mastiff in front of him, and suddenly laughed, he nodded, his face gradually became resolute, and he said with confidence: "Your Highness is so kind, there will be no disaster." ”

If woe comes... I, Zhuge Kongming, will do my best to help....

"From what I can see, Kong Ming is too worried... Lu Zhi and they came this time, it was bright and bright, without the slightest cover-up, they came, just to know what His Highness was thinking, it seems that I came to His Highness to accompany him here, so that many people are worried, since they are doing this, the Son of Heaven must know, Yuan Gong is His Royal Highness's master... Your Highness listens to the teachings of the master, and your Majesty will not be angry..."

Sima Yi opened his mouth and said.

He pondered, and then continued: "Their hearts will surely rejoice in the words of His Highness, and as far as I can see, in a few days, His Highness will have one more companion. ”

Liu Mastiff looked at him blankly and nodded.

"That's right..."

As one person spoke, he pushed open the door, and the person who came was Yuan Shu.

Sima Yi was startled, and hurriedly got up with Liu Mastiff to meet Yuan Shu, who sat on the main seat, knocked on his back a little sore, and said, "You are smart, not bad, not bad..."

Yuan Shulian said two good things, so he didn't say anything more and started teaching directly.

After nearly half an hour, Yuan Shu asked Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi to leave, leaving Liu Mastiff alone.

"Shijun, is your back still very painful?"

"It's okay... You answered well today..."Yuan Shu was talking, then he saw Liu Mastiff get up, walked behind Yuan Shu, stretched out his hand, and gently tapped his back, Yuan Shu was a little unrelieved, surprised for a moment, but did not speak again, he still said a little solemnly: "In the future, if someone asks like this again, you don't have to answer... As a prince, you can't get involved in these things yet..."

"Today, I'm calling you... It's because I'm there, they don't dare to go too far, and you won't be helpless, after today, there will be no more inquiries from the three princes of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and the rest of the people will ask, you don't have to answer, if someone forces you, you will tell me! ”

"Mastiff understands!"

"Well... Let's go..."

Liu Mastiff left the study, Yuan Shu watched him leave, rubbed his back, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

The three of them sat in the courtyard and studied together, the so-called learning is that Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang are arguing, and Liu Mastiff is buried in the record, from the words of the two of them, Liu Mastiff can always learn a lot of things.

When the two of them got tired of arguing, the three of them began to chat, they were speculating, who would Situ Gong and they would send, Zhuge Liang didn't know many people, but Sima Yi knew a lot, but he didn't think of anyone who could accompany them as a companion.

"Or choose one person from among the top of the scientific merits." Liu Mastiff said.

"They all have official positions, and they won't come... What's more, this championship is not very good...."Sima Yi shook his head, there was still some arrogance in his words, Zhuge Liang said: "Next time, I want to participate, I don't know what you think?" ”

"As long as Ling Zun doesn't object, I have no opinion, Kong Ming participates, no need to ask."

"Speaking of which, in the past, I used to be a classmate with your brother, and I can be regarded as a confidant and friend... In a few days, I will go to him to say a few words, and you will be able to participate, and you don't have to worry about the elders in the family not allowing it..."Zhuge Liang replied.

Seeing the two like this, Liu Mastiff was a little helpless, interrupted their conversation, and asked directly: "I don't know who these people are for this championship?" ”

"I don't know very well, there are only two people left in the court, one is at Shijun's place, called Du Wei, but the other person doesn't know." Zhuge Liang said.

"Another person, under the command of Cai Gong, called Zhang Fei, my father and brother often talked about it, saying that this person is upright, it is Cui Gong's personal inheritance, and he is extremely brave, in the temple, he helped Cai Gong, and repeatedly forced hundreds of officials to be speechless... Come to think of it, he will inevitably take over the position of Cai Gong in the future and supervise the hundred officials..."Sima Yi said.

Liu Mastiff nodded, and the three of them talked again.

In the evening, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi left one after another.

Liu Mastiff went to find Yuan Shu again.

"Shijun, I haven't seen my grandfather for a long time, Mastiff misses it in my heart, today, I want to go, I don't know if Shijun may agree?"

"Well, it's natural to meet the elders, just go, but you still have to be careful with your words..."

"Mastiff knows, thank you Shijun!"

Yuan Shu specially sent nearly ten soldiers to escort Liu Mastiff to go, surrounded by this group of people, Liu Mastiff rushed to Cai's house, the soldiers stepped forward to knock on the door, Liu Mastiff said: "To meet the elders, you need to be respectful and personal, how can you let others do it for you?" Then he himself went up and knocked at the door, and stood at the door and waited, and in a short time a servant came out.

Seeing these fierce soldiers outside the door, the slave was startled.

"Dare to ask you, is my grandfather at home?"

Liu Mastiff asked with a smile.

Looking at the half-grown boy in front of him, the slave didn't react, who is your grandfather? He looked at Liu Mastiff's somewhat familiar face, and suddenly realized that this was not His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor? He hurriedly opened the door with a smile, respectfully greeted Liu Mastiff and walked in, came to the outer courtyard, the servants hurriedly went in to tell Cai Yong, and Liu Mastiff waited in the mansion.

"Mastiff! Mastiff! ”

Cai Yong screamed and ran out of the study.

"Yay!!" Liu Mastiff screamed, ran over, threw himself into Cai Yong's arms, hugged him tightly, Cai Yong did the same, bent down, hugged the grandson in his arms, I don't know when, his eyes moistened, a little choked, he hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, even his grandson, since he hated the Son of Heaven, he has never been to the palace again.

Now holding his grandson in his arms, tears can't help but fall.

"Mastiff is here, grandfather don't want to be like this..."Liu Mastiff said eagerly, and stretched out his hand again, wiping the tears on Cai Yong's face, Cai Yong laughed at this time, "My mastiff, I've grown up a little more!" He wanted to pick up Liu Mastiff, but he tried his best, but he couldn't move him at all, which didn't frustrate him, but made him laugh happily.

Holding Liu Mastiff's hand, Cai Yong took him into the study, and ordered the slave to make food and bring it quickly.

In the study, there was also a young man standing, this young man, extremely burly and strong, standing aside, looking at the emperor's eldest son, I don't know what he was thinking, Liu Mastiff entered the room, and immediately bowed his hand and said: "Meet Zhang Jun!" ”

"Huh!! Your Highness knows me!! ”

Liu Mastiff trembled, looked at Zhang Fei in front of him, smiled, and said: "Zhang Jun scared the kid, I heard that Zhang Jun is a disciple of Cui Gong, and the kid admires....", Hearing him say this, Zhang Fei strode to his side, laughed and said: "Cai Gong, your grandson, you are really smart, I don't know where to dig the mud when I was his age!" ”

"Heh, can you compare to a mastiff?" Cai Yong said disdainfully.

When Zhang Fei heard this, he was dumbfounded, this dead old man, changed his face so quickly?

Cai Yong pulled Liu Mastiff, and there were endless words.

"How's your grandmother? Are you okay? ”

"How's your studies doing? Did Yuan Shu ever deceive you? ”

Liu Mastiff replied one by one, Cai Yong listened very happily, seeing their happy appearance, Zhang Fei wanted to say goodbye and leave, Cai Yong did not keep him, let him come again tomorrow, let him leave, grandfather and grandson, after Zhang Fei left, they had a big meal, and then, Cai Yong took Liu Mastiff to play in the courtyard, saying that it was playing, but it was just a walk to watch and chat.

"Mastiff, I haven't seen you in two years..."

"If you have some free time, come and see your grandfather..."

"Grandpa doesn't know, the next time you come back, grandpa is still there...."

The next day, Liu Mastiff stayed for a long time and said goodbye to his grandfather.

Cai Yong was a little reluctant to send him away, came to the door, Cai Yong told a lot of things, between the words, Zhang Fei had already arrived, met Cai Yong, also greeted Liu Mastiff, looked at Zhang Fei, Liu Mastiff said: "Zhang Jun, the kid has something to ask for...".

Zhang Fei was a little puzzled, looked at Cai Yong on the side, and nodded.

Liu Mastiff pulled him, walked to the side, looked at Zhang Fei, bowed his hands, and said respectfully: "Zhang Jun, I stay in Shijun's mansion all day to study, and I have no leisure time, so I can't take care of my grandfather in person. My grandfather is getting old, and I just hate not being able to serve him, and I hope that Zhang Jun can take care of one or two for me... Mastiff thanks!! ”

Liu Mastiff bowed to Zhang Fei with tears in his eyes.

Zhang Fei was silent for a long time, looked at the Liu mastiff in front of him, returned the salute cautiously, and said, "Respectfully! ”

When Liu Mastiff left, Cai Yong looked at Liu Mastiff's back, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Fang Cai, what did he tell you?" ”

"He asked me to take care of Cai Gong... Cai Gong, Your Highness is kind-hearted, filial, intelligent, and kind... You've got a great grandson..."

"That's it!"

..............

When Liu Mastiff returned to the mansion, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were still at the door, and when they saw Liu Mastiff coming, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi hurriedly visited him, and Liu Mastiff hurriedly said, "Why don't you enter the mansion?" It's really my fault that you two are waiting here! ”

"Your Highness, the soldier said that you are not here, where have you been?"

"Yesterday, when I talked about my grandfather, I missed it very much, so I asked Yuan Gong to meet my grandfather..."

Zhuge Liang nodded, but Sima Yi on the side frowned.
