"What do you mean by the prince and the marquis, is Your Majesty taking a fancy to the little girl?"

Zuo Luo's expression was complicated, and he was surprised and happy in his heart.

"Nonsense."

"How could Your Majesty covet women?"

Liu Bang sprayed Zuo Luo's face and spat at Xingzi.

Zoro is completely confused, is he mistaken?

But that's what these two mean?

"Zuo Luo, Your Majesty has every opportunity, works state affairs, has not filled the harem for many years, and the Manchu Dynasty knows about it both civil and military."

Meng Yi said with a straight face, reminding Zuo Luo Dao.

Zuo Luo felt a chill in his heart, there was indeed something wrong with his words just now, and he was suspected of slandering the saint.

"The lower official lost his words."

Zuo Luo hurriedly confessed that slandering His Majesty was not child's play.

"Don't worry! There are no outsiders here, and it will not reach His Majesty's ears. ”

Liu Bang comforted.

Don't worry, don't worry!

Zuo Luo was slandered in his heart, and then said with a smile on his face: "Since Your Majesty has not filled the harem for many years, I am afraid that the little girl will not have this blessing!" ”

From the bottom of his heart, Zoro still doesn't want to hurt his daughter's life.

If His Majesty is still young, then he, as a father, is naturally very happy to let his daughter always accompany the Holy Driver.

After all, what man in this world can compare to His Majesty?

To put it mildly, Your Majesty is already sixty years old, how many days do you have to live?

"Zoro, those of us who are subordinates, not only have to share the worries of your majesty in state affairs, but also have to contribute to your majesty's family affairs!"

"Hey, I don't have such a good fate as you to give birth to such a beautiful daughter, otherwise I would have dedicated myself to Your Majesty a long time ago, and let her take good care of Your Majesty, so that I can show my loyalty to the monarch and patriotism!"

Liu Bang looked like he was beating his feet and pounding his chest, and said sincerely to Zuo Luo.

Hearing Liu Bang's explicit words, if Zuo Luo didn't understand it again, then he would really become a fool.

Did this marquis let himself enter the palace and personally dedicate his daughter to His Majesty?

Why are there such brazen people in the world?

This is the only thought in Zuoluo's heart, to be able to sell his daughter so tall and lofty in order to invite merit, and it is the only one in the world!

Zuo Luo really wants to give Peihou Liu Bang a thumbs up, it's really special, one set.

But now that he is in a dilemma, he has put all his words down.

If you don't do this, doesn't that mean that you don't have the slightest loyalty and patriotism?

Thinking of this meaning, Zoro's teeth itched with hatred.

Are these two here to save themselves, or are they here to trap themselves?

Meng Yi naturally also saw that Zuo Luo was fighting between heaven and man, and his eyes flickered.

"Zoro, even if you don't covet power, you don't think about your future career. But what about your Zuo clan? What about your sons?"

"There are people in the court who are good officials, as long as they become relatives of the emperor and the country, but as long as they have some real materials, they are far easier to become officials than ordinary people."

"As the patriarch of the Zuo clan, how can he give up the bright future of the Zuo clan because of the personal feelings of his own children, is it worth it?"

"You feel that you are noble and don't want to sacrifice your daughter in exchange for the future of the entire family, but have you asked Ling Qianjin?"

Meng Yi's words were like a sharp blade, directly inserting into Zuo Luo's heart.

"No, Guogong's statement is ridiculous."

"It is a great honor to serve the Holy Driver, so how can I sacrifice?"

"Entering the palace to serve His Majesty can make the entire family gain supreme glory, otherwise, the entire family will fall into a place of no return."

"I heard that the young secretary of the Ministry of Industry is loyal and filial, and she is very smart, she should understand the general trend better than you, and the truth that those who go against it will die."

Liu Bang seemed to feel that Meng Yi's words were a little subtle, so he took over the words and made up for it again.

"Thank you Guogong and Hou Ye for your guidance, the lower officials have already understood, but they still need to wait for their daughter to return to the house in the evening, and then discuss."

Zoro's face was bloodless, and he felt a deep sense of powerlessness that made him almost hopeless.

"Farewell."

Hearing Zuo Luo's order to evict guests, Meng Yi immediately stood up and arched his hand.

"Farewell, you have to think clearly! The way to save the fate of the Zuo family, I and Guogong have taught you, how to choose, the survival of the Zuo family, all depend on your thoughts. ”

Liu Bang also stood up and arched his hand, but when he left, he specially reminded him.

Zuo Luo looked at the backs of the two leaving, and arched his hand: "Congratulations to the announcement, Master Hou." ”

The lobby was empty, leaving Zoro alone to sit in a daze.

He looked at the door in front of him, his eyes wandering.

The sunset is infinitely better, but it is almost dusk, and before you know it, the sky has darkened, and the bright moon hangs in the sky.

Zoro didn't eat, didn't drink, didn't pay attention to his wife and son, just sat there, staring out the door in a daze.

About the second watch, on the stone road outside the gate, Zuo Wei's figure appeared.

Zoro, who had empty eyes, suddenly came back to his senses, he was like a loving father, waiting for his daughter's return.

stood up with a smile on his face, greeted him, stood at the door and looked at Zuo Wei and said, "I'm back, I'm tired!" Come in and take a break, I've got the kitchen to make you your favorite mung bean soup. ”

Zuo Wei looked at her father, and said with a warm feeling in her heart: "Yes, father." ”

Zuo Luo watched his daughter drink mung bean soup, and the memories of more than 20 years came to his mind.

"Is it good?" With a smile on his face, Zoro asked softly.

"It's delicious, it's delicious."

Zuo Wei said sincerely, she couldn't eat mung beans if she wanted to eat them before, and these mung beans were transported by the merchants of the counties in Central and South China after the empire pacified Central and South China.

You must know that at such a long distance, these mung beans are not affordable for ordinary people, and the price is very high.

After waiting for his daughter to finish eating, Zuo Luo's eyes darkened, and he looked at his daughter and stopped talking.

He couldn't talk about it, and he didn't know what to say to his daughter.

"Is there anything wrong with my father?"

Zuo Wei also noticed the strangeness of his father, since he was a child, his father has never been a person who can hide his heart.

"Wei'er, it's useless to be a father, I'm sorry for you for my father."

Zuo Luo looked at his daughter's somewhat tired look, and said with tears in his eyes.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Zuo Wei was taken aback, the tiredness of a busy day disappeared in an instant, looked at her father with concern, and asked.

"You made a big mistake yesterday at His Majesty's birthday banquet."

Zuo Luo is distressed about his daughter, but he is even more worried that he will become a sinner of the Zuo clan, how to face the ancestors and ancestors under Jiuquan in the future?

"Your Majesty has condemned our Zuo clan?"

When Zuo Wei heard this, she immediately realized that because of her ignorance, she had brought disaster to Zuo's family.

"Not yet."

Zoro wiped his tears from the corner of his coat and said worriedly.

Not yet, could it be that my father received some rumors?

Why didn't I hear the slightest rumor?

"Did my father hear any rumors?"

Zuo Wei asked.

Zuo Luo nodded emphatically, and then told Liu Bang and Meng Yi about coming to the mansion today from beginning to end.

retold the words of the two of them word for word to his daughter.

He knew that in the Zuo family, no one could compare to his daughter in terms of ideas and courage.

Perhaps, then, my daughter might be able to come up with a great idea.

Hearing her father's words, Zuo Wei showed a sudden expression, so it was.

"Father, daughter understands."

Zuo Wei also had some complications in her heart.

"What did Vile come up with to deal with it?"

Zuo Luo looked at his daughter with a calm expression, nothing unusual, and said with a look of hope.
