Liu De brought Xue Lingyun to the mansion, directly served as the weaving room commander in the mansion, and was in charge of the daily clothing of everyone in the mansion, and suddenly became the object of fawning favor with everyone in the Han Mansion.

In the afternoon, the Han Mansion was busy and noisy, because in the evening, Liu De wanted to entertain the military officials and their families in the mansion, which was a major event, of course, Liu De, as the head of the family, would not manage the reception.

In previous years, the Qian family was in charge, but because the Qian family and Chen Ying were still in Liaocheng, and Li Lan liked martial arts and ignored these trivial matters at all, Ma Yuxuan relied on the prestige she had in the mansion and began to organize people, give orders, and vaguely have the posture of a hostess, maybe Ma Yuxuan also wants to establish her position in the mansion with this matter.

But what Ma Yuxuan didn't expect was that Gao Taotao, who had been silent, was also directing the family members and servants in the house to carry things and clean the courtyard.

It's like they're scrambling for something...

The servants that Gao Taotao can command are the first group of servants and maids in the Han Mansion, and the people used by Ma Yuxuan are all subordinates who came from Liaocheng, and the geographical incompatibility has existed since ancient times.

But Ma and Gao are both people with high IQ and politics, and they know what it means to stop in moderation, if it is really because of the discord between the two that something happens to this banquet, the angry Liu De will definitely not forgive her two.

Therefore, both of them also restrained their subordinates, although there was friction, but they made the process of the banquet and the content required clear.

And Liu De was receiving two people in the mansion at this time, one of whom was Su Cang, the envoy under Li Yun, the Duke of Wei, who traveled thousands of miles and came across the river.

And the other is the Great Zhou court, one of the nine Qings Zongzheng [Ji Changluo], Ji Changluo previously served as Zongzheng Mansion Cheng, and went to Liaocheng, mainly to visit Princess Shiyi, the eldest princess of the Great Zhou, who lived in Liaocheng.

And because Zong Zheng died in the chaos after Yang Tianlong broke through Liaocheng before the Great Zhou Dynasty, this Zongzheng Mansion Cheng who escaped the disaster was appointed by Li Yun as Zongzheng Ling after defecting to Chen Liu, and then sent an envoy to Beiping with Su Cang, Ji Changluo represented the Great Zhou court, and Su Cang represented Li Yun, the Duke of Wei.

Accompanying Liu De to meet with Ji Changluo and Su Cang were Xun Yu, Xu Shu, and Jian Yong.

It should be mentioned here that there are two so-called Han Mansion in Beiping City, one is the Han Mansion where Liu De lives, Liu De's concubines live in it, and the banquet is also held in this mansion.

And one is the Han Mansion where Liu De works, and the so-called opening of the mansion is like this, and Liu De's reception of Ji Changluo and Su Cang is here.

Ji Changluo chatted with Liu De about some of the past events of the year, and then congratulated Liu De, then asked Liu De to resign and went to visit Princess Shiyi, the eldest princess of Da Zhou.

Princess Shiyi also followed the large army of Liaocheng's family to Beiping, and was placed in the palace by Liu De, after all, it is Her Royal Highness the princess, and the palace is just right.

Of course, the maids and eunuchs serving Her Royal Highness the princess are all available, and Liu De also sent a team of guards as a precaution, not imprisonment, just to beware of small nights, to guard against safety, Princess Shiyi's freedom is unhindered, and she can go out of the palace at will.

Liu De also expressed his respect to the little emperor, and then sent someone to take Ji Changluo to the palace.

Then there were only four people left in the hall: Liu De, Xun Yu, Xu Shu, Jian Yong and Su Cang.

The guards added a cup of hot tea to everyone, Su Cang was looking at Liu De, as well as the three important ministers under Liu De, and Xun Yu and the three of them were also looking at Su Can.

Su Cang arched his hand to Liu De and chatted about family life, "Dare to ask Your Highness, I don't know where Duke Chen is?" ”

Liu De put down the hot tea in his hand and said with a smile: "Chen Gong was a little unwell, so he couldn't come." ”

Su Cang glanced at Liu De, and hurriedly explained: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, back then, General Fuguo, Duke Chen, Marquis Zhen, Marquis Zhonghou and my father all studied in Taixue, and they were all old acquaintances, so I asked." ”

Li Zhen, the father of Li Yun, Sima of the Three Princes, was killed by Cao Zhuo, and was nicknamed "Zhen", innocent and chaste; Worried about the country and forgetting death; Baojie is famous; Feeding in the middle of the performance; The straight road is unyielding; Virtue is solid and chaste; Dexin Zheng Zhou said.

Chen He, Chen Shuo's brother, Situ, one of the three princes of the official worship, died of illness, and his nickname was "loyalty", and he was in danger of being loyal; Worried about the country and forgetting the family and saying loyalty; Danger to the country is loyal; Honest and honest party is fair and loyal; The king is loyal to the end; Restore the monarch with virtue and say loyalty; An is loyal to everything; Teach people to be good and loyal; Zhongneng is loyal to the outside; Guangfang is fair and loyal.

Hearing this, Liu De sighed: "The Marquis of Zhen and the Marquis of Zhonghou both died for the country, and when I was in Luodu, I was also following the two adults, and I benefited a lot!" ”

Su Cang said: "Now that the Cao thief has been destroyed, the two adults know about it, and they should be blind!" ”

At this time, Xu Shu said bluntly: "Although the Cao thief is destroyed, there is still a Yang thief who is still breathing, dare to ask the Soviet military division, when His Royal Highness the Duke of Han and the general attacked the puppet emperor together, where was His Royal Highness the Duke of Wei?"

Think that when the Marquis of Zhen escorted the young emperor and the queen mother to escape from the imperial city, he took the lead, although ten thousand arrows pierced the heart and fought bravely, he was a hero admired by the people of the world, Duke Wei was the son of Marquis Zhen, and he must be a loyal minister of the Great Zhou, but when the puppet emperor was raging, he did not see the Duke of Wei? ”

Su Cang served as a division of the Chinese army under Li Yun.

Su Cang Zhengse said: "Xu Junshi only heard of the Yang thief, but he didn't know that Ouyang Yi of Jinzhou killed the prince and minister, proclaimed himself the king, and was also the thief of the Great Zhou. ”

"Yang thief is a big thief, Ouyang Yi is just a little thief!"

"If they are both thieves, what is the size of the thief?"

The two parties spat and kept arguing, and Liu De also took the opportunity to check Su Cang's attributes:

Character: Su Cang

Gender: Male

Age: 30/90

Injuries: Healthy

Force: Li Yun

Identity: Family

Official position: Central Military Division

Title: Marquis of Changqiu Pavilion

Prestige: 37640

Merit:--

Loyalty: 100

Command: 37

Force: 49

Intelligence: 96

Politics: 90

Charisma: 76

Adaptability: Infantry B Cavalry C Archers C Weapons C Naval Army C

Treasure: None

Stunt: Conspiracy [When the strategy is successful, the intelligence and force value of the enemy general's will be randomly reduced by 1-5 points]

----------------

This Su Cang is worthy of the name of the military advisor, and his intelligence is three points higher than Xu Shudu, the same as Xun Yu, and from this aspect alone, there are many talents under Li Yun.

There is also Li Lei, the younger brother of Li Yun who is familiar with him, who is also a man with more than 80 commands and more than 90 armed forces, not to mention Li Yun, except for the armed forces of more than 70, the rest of the four dimensions are all all-rounders above 90, this is the opponent he should pay the most attention to.

"That's it!"

Liu De stopped: "The Soviet army division is a guest from afar, so don't be presumptuous." ”

"Yes!"

Xu Shu and Jian Yong bowed their heads in response, and then sat down in their seats without saying much.

Su Cang also tidied up his clothes, arched his hand at Liu De, and said, "I hope Your Highness will forgive me, it's under Meng Lang!" ”

"It's okay!"

Liu De waved his hand and said: "What the Soviet military division said is refreshing, and what you have gained is not shallow!" ”

Su Cang bluntly said that he was ashamed.

Then he asked: "Dare to ask Your Highness, now that the puppet emperor still occupies Luanzhou, does Your Highness want to crusade against the puppet emperor after the autumn?" ”

Liu De thought for a while, I don't know what Su Cang meant, Xun Yu saw this, and said with a smile: "Yang thief arrogates the emperor, people and gods are angry, my lord hates to show the head of Yang thief to the public immediately." Dare to ask the Soviet military division, is Duke Wei willing to fight the puppet emperor with my lord? ”

Xun Yu kicked the ball directly to Su Cang, wanting to hear what Su Cang had to say.

Su Cang said: "His Royal Highness the Duke of Wei is also a loyal and patriotic person, and once said bluntly to us, when only I and the Han Duke are heroes, I only hope to gallop with the Han Duke again and serve the Great Zhou, but now the soldiers are tired, the food and grass are not enough, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make the trip..."

Liu De also said: "I am also willing to fight side by side with Duke Wei..."

Then Su Cang took out a bamboo album and handed it to Liu De, saying, "Your Highness, Mrs. Li is the sister of Duke Wei. Well... This book is full of dowries prepared by the Duke of Wei for Mrs. Li, and His Royal Highness is also asked to give it to Mrs. Li. ”

Li Lan escaped from Chen Liu directly for Liu Deke, which made Li Yun and the old lady angry, and even no longer recognized Li Lan, the daughter of the Li family, although Li Yun later knew that Li Lan was in Liaocheng, and he didn't want to send someone to visit Li Lan.

Therefore, Su Cang was a little difficult to speak, and directly omitted the words.

Now Li Yun has sent Li Lan's dowry over, which means two things, one is to officially agree that Li Lan will marry Liu De as a concubine, and Li Lan will not have to be slandered because of this matter.

The second aspect is that Li Lan married Liu De, the Li family and the Liu family, the Principality of Wei and the Principality of Han, even if it is a good alliance between the two surnames, although it is not an alliance, but the relationship is relatively close.

Liu De didn't look at the contents of the bamboo book, since it was Li Lan's dowry, then these were Li Lan's, and they had nothing to do with Liu De.

Liu De handed the bamboo book back to Su Cang, and said, "Since it is the dowry given to Lan'er by Duke Wei, please ask Su Junshi to personally hand it over to her!" Lan'er, she should also want to know how her brothers and great-grandmother are doing..."

"Under the command!"

Su Cang took the bamboo book with both hands.

After a while, Su Cang said goodbye and wanted to meet Li Lan, and Liu De directly invited Su Cang and Ji Changluo to participate in tonight's banquet, and Su Cang agreed.

The purpose of Su Cang and Ji Chang Luoming was to witness the ceremony of Liu Defeng.

Behind the scenes, there are calculations.

......

"The courtier Chang Luo greets Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"

Ji Changluo knelt on his knees and bowed to Princess Shiyi, already bursting into tears and wailing.

"Uncle Fifteen, please hurry up, they are all family members, so don't make such a big gift..."

Ji Changluo is the same generation as Ji Changyou, a generation higher than Ji Yuanwu and Ji Yuanxu, so according to the generation, Shiyi Gong mainly calls Ji Changluo his uncle, Ji Changluo is a marginal figure in the royal family, his ability is not obvious, and his ability is low, but in the end, it is this royal family with mediocre ability who has become the only remaining fruit of the Ji family in the court.

Ji Changluo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, answered, and stood up.

Xiao Xizi behind Princess Shiyi hurriedly moved a chair over and asked Ji Changluo to sit down.

"It's really a blessing for the old minister to be able to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in this life!" Ji Changluo couldn't help crying again.

"After a year, my uncle is still in good health, and the palace is also happy!"

Princess Shiyi smiled and reassured.

Princess Shiyi is fourteen years old this year, and after going through hardships, she is no longer the childish she was at the beginning, and she has matured too much.

"What happened to the emperor's younger brother in this palace? Is the imperial court okay under Duke Wei? ”

Shi Yi then asked about some things about the imperial court.

Ji Changluo sighed and said: "Dissatisfied with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, although Your Majesty is young, but you are talented and early, you have the style of the first emperor, and in time, you will definitely be able to revive the Great Zhou, but although the Duke of Wei took Your Majesty to Chen Liu, but then in the name of building the palace for Your Majesty, your Majesty was imprisoned, and these important ministers of the court want to ask to see Your Majesty, and they must also get the permission of Li Yun, and this Li Yun will be a Cao Sui!" ”

"This Li Yun originally appointed a lot of loyal ministers and righteous men who were loyal to His Majesty, but then he found an excuse to deprive some ministers of their official positions, if it weren't for the fact that the old ministers were sufficient, they could still argue with Li Yun for a few words, I'm afraid that the court is full of people from the Li family!"

"The old minister pondered for a long time, and then he realized that this Li Yun sent the old minister to Beiping, I am afraid that he will wait for the old minister to leave and do it again to those ministers who are loyal to His Majesty!"

"Then why don't you resist? Let Li Yun act recklessly? Princess Shiyi said angrily.

Ji Changluo said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, you don't understand, although we are important ministers of the imperial court, but one is a soldier and a horse, and the other is that there is no one who thinks about the monarch in Danzhou, so how can we have room to compete with Li Yun?" ”

"That's because you are short-witted, if Ruoer and the others unite as one, they don't care about themselves, which makes Li Yun afraid, so how can he be so rampant!" Princess Shiyi was saying.

"What the eldest princess said is extremely true!"

Ji Changluo replied in a low voice, he didn't want to argue with Princess Shiyi, in Ji Changluo's opinion, Princess Shiyi was inexperienced, and she didn't understand how simple it was to really regain the rights that belonged to His Majesty.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, are you here in Han Gong, are you comfortable?"

Ji Changluo looked at the guards patrolling outside the palace, the palace built by Yang Tianlong was very large, except for the palace where Princess Shiyi stayed, the rest of the palace was basically abandoned, and Liu De did not have so much money and food to maintain such a huge palace complex.

Princess Shiyi knew what Ji Changluo meant, because the little emperor was imprisoned by Li Yun, so Ji Changluo was also more concerned about Princess Shiyi's freedom.

"The palace can enter and exit the palace at any time, and no one can stop it." Princess Shiyi said.

"That's good, that's good!"

Ji Changluo sighed.

Princess Shiyi asked again: "Dare to ask my uncle, why did you escort Your Majesty to Danzhou in the first place, instead of where the Duke of Han is?" ”

"Your Highness, do you think there is any difference between the Duke of Han and the Duke of Wei?"

Princess Shiyi was silent.

Obviously, after a long period of observation, Shi Yi also knew that Liu De was also ambitious, although he was a royal family, he was just a woman, and he didn't have any righteousness, and his daily expenses were allocated by the Han Mansion, and he couldn't make any waves at all, so Liu De didn't worry about what he could do at all.

But the emperor is different after all, although the Great Zhou exists in name only, the little emperor is still a signboard, and there are still many loyal ministers who support the little emperor, so Li Yun must take good care of the little emperor.

Even if Li Yun has no ambition to be the emperor and usurp the throne, when the little emperor takes power, how can Li Yun have a way to live?

That is to say, even if the little emperor came to Liu De, the result would be no different from that of Li Yun.
