Liu Yan, the founding emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, was a very extravagant person, and this advantage was not only well inherited by his son Liu Hongxi, but also further promoted. Liu Hongxi has only been on the throne for three years, and he has built Daming Palace, Ganquan Palace, Changhua Palace, Wanhua Palace, Xiuhua Palace, Yuqing Palace, Taiwei Palace, Nangong and many other palaces. Of course, this money came from the people, and his Pingzhang Shi Lin Yanyu (eunuch), because of his excessive exploitation, was called the demon king by the Lingnan people.

Daming Palace is located in the south of the city side of Xingwangfu, the main hall is tall and majestic, the beams are towering, the golden glazed tiles are stacked in a staggered manner, sliding down the trend, to the eaves, the four corners are high up, just like the wings of Dapeng in general. The main body of the room, vermilion lacquer dansha is evenly applied. Rosewood windows and gold-foil bronze doors show royal grandeur.

The hall is a pattern of one entry and one exit, there are eight screens in the middle, there are mountains and rivers on it, there are green trees, there are secluded pavilions, birds and beasts are faintly visible, and they actually form a long scroll of mountains and rivers that are quiet and empty. On both sides of the screen, the round and smooth pearls are connected into a line to form a curtain of draping, through which the corners of the red clothes flicker, presumably the maids in the palace. In front of the screen is a long case nearly two meters long and half a meter wide, covered with a bright yellow silk cloth embroidered with dragons. Liu Hongxi, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was sitting on the dragon chair behind the long case, and outside the dragon table in front of him, there were several henchmen and important ministers.

The news that Fengchuan was defeated, Fengzhou was besieged, and the news that it was in danger made Liu Hongxi, the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, frightened. He was so anxious that he hurriedly summoned his Pingzhang ministers (equivalent to the prime minister) to discuss countermeasures. These eunuchs usually bully the common people in an endless stream, and they don't even have to frown, and they have as many ghost ideas as they want, but this time, they are a little ambitious, and their eyes are high. Or send troops to rescue and fight to the death with the Chu State, or say that Chu and Han are relatives, so it is better to sue for peace. In short, it is nothing more than two programs, war and peace, and as for how to implement it concretely, if it is war, the troops there should be sent, and if it is peace, what conditions should be proposed, but it is impossible to say a word. Of course, this is also related to Liu Hongxi's lack of attention to cultivating talents, this Liu Hongxi has always been arbitrary about the things he can control, and the following ministers have always begun to pick up the omissions and supplement them after Liu Hongxi put forward guiding opinions, and gradually improve them. I have never seen Liu Hongxi so panicked, so eager to find someone to come up with ideas, to find someone to rely on. All of a sudden, everyone was a little confused.

Liu Hongxi is a typical nest, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, in the past, the tiger of Chu was not powerful, he thought it was a sick cat, and he sent troops to harass him for three days, and he felt quite embarrassed. didn't expect that he actually suffered such a big loss, and he regretted not falling in his heart, for fear that Ma Yun would surround Xingwangfu and take his life. This group of eunuchs is a good hand at observing words and feelings, they said while secretly observing the reaction of the Han Emperor Liu Hongxi, and it didn't take much effort to make Liu Hongxi's little ninety-nine in his heart basically guess seven seven eight or eight. really responded to the old saying: "The more Li'er argues, the clearer the matter, the clearer it becomes", they argued for a long time, and gradually there were fewer main battles, but more and more of the main peace. In the end, it was everyone who sang the song of peace. Lin Yanyu sighed secretly in his heart, although he wanted to continue to fight to make a fortune, but the emperor wanted to negotiate peace, and he wronged himself to keep up with His Majesty's footsteps. If Ma Guangmeng, who was on the front line in Fengzhou, knew that Liu Hongxi was actually this kind of person, I am afraid that he would have to encourage Ma Yun to raise troops to the south. After Liu Yan's death, not only the national strength of the Han State was weakened, but the will of this leader was also much weaker.

Just when Liu Hongxi and the others were about to make a decision to negotiate peace, behind the curtain on the left side of the hall, there was a sudden chuckle, and a voice like a yellow bird came from behind the screen: "The adults are wrong. How could the Son of Heaven make peace with the vassal king? ”

Hearing this, Liu Hongxi is a spiritual town, but Lin Yanyu and the others lowered their heads, looking like they were being taught.

Where the curtain was provoked, a young woman flashed out from the inside, this person's melon seed face, fair skin, like mutton fat, eyebrows like light smoke, eyes like stars, small nose bridge, ruddy lips, upturned corners of the mouth, with a hint of smile, and each cheek actually produced a shallow dimple. She was wearing a goose-yellow shirt, wearing a light cyan light gauze outside, stepping on mandarin duck red sleeved shoes, and walked out with broken steps.

Her eyes glanced at the people in the outer hall, and her expression was calm, as if there was nothing remarkable about interrupting the king's ministers. When Liu Hongxi saw her come in, he actually stood up and said with a smile: "Aifei, why did you come out." The days have been getting longer lately, so you should take more rest. "This Liu Hongxi is really a strange person, this person is ruthless, and he doesn't even blink an eye when he kills his brother. But he is obedient to the people he has his eye on and treats them with sincerity, such as the woman in front of him.

Several other ministers, facing this woman, also bowed and saluted: "Concubine Niangniang, well." ”

This person turned out to be Liu Hongxi's beloved concubine Lu Qiongxian. This Lu Qiongxian is outstanding by relying on purple, and she knows love and taste, and she is deeply favored by Liu Hongxi. Fortunately at first, since becoming a concubine, she gradually interfered in her court politics, and Liu Hongxi was afraid of going against the wishes of the beauty, so he turned a blind eye and did not have the slightest sense of blame. In this way, Lu Qiongxian's arrogance is more victorious and his power is greater. Everyone said that there were three emperors in Lingnan: "There is Emperor Lin Yanyu outside, there is Emperor Lu Qiongxian inside, and Emperor Liu Hongxi is sitting in the middle." ”

Lu Qiongxian chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine was behind the screen just now, and occasionally listened to two sentences, which is really angry for Your Majesty." Your Majesty is the co-lord of the world, how can you negotiate peace with the little King of Chu? Isn't this a joke to the world? Moreover, if Your Majesty negotiates peace, in case the Chu State asks for a state closure, I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to cede it or not? ”

Liu Hongxi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Fengzhou is the land of my great Han Longxing, I naturally will not abandon it lightly, if the Chu State wants to close the state, I can only fight a decisive battle in the Chu State." For some reason, Liu Hongxi was not as nervous as he was just now in front of this woman, but showed a little manliness.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, it is better to send troops directly to rescue Fengzhou, even if the rescue is not successful, then troops should be sent to defend the states and counties below Fengzhou, lest the Chu State raid our Xingwang Mansion?" Lu Qiongxian wanted to cite a specific place name, but unfortunately, she was really an empty teapot and had no goods in her stomach, so she had to say something vaguely.

"Guifei Niangniang is right, Your Majesty, we should mobilize soldiers and horses from Duanzhou, Xinzhou and other places to strictly guard the downstream Kangzhou of Fengzhou, and then order Ning Yuan Jiedu to make Wu Huaien mobilize 30,000 soldiers and horses to the east to Fengzhou to rescue. Then everything should be lost. Lin Yan met it as an opportunity, and hurriedly expressed his support for Lu Qiongxian.

Liu Hongxi hesitated, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Qiongxian, looking at each other, Lu Qiongxian's eyes flickered, like a pool of autumn water, clear and moving, pure and flawless. Liu Hongxi, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, seemed to feel the secret encouragement of his beloved concubine, and his heart was hot, and then he looked at his henchman Lin Yanyu, and he looked forward to it.

Liu Hongxi asked in a deep voice: "Who do you think will be sent to garrison Connecticut?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's better to circle a few people now, let's carefully consider one or two from these few people, don't we have a candidate for the commander?" In Lin Yanyu's view, the emperor sent troops in a unified manner, so he could naturally take the opportunity to increase the people's taxes, and in the spirit of plucking the goose, he could make a lot of money. As for the candidate to lead the troops, if Liu Hongxi appointed it himself, he would naturally not be able to interject, but he didn't expect Liu Hongxi to actually ask for advice, and he immediately came up with such a good idea. In fact, I wanted to entrust this matter for two days to see if I could accept some bribes.

"Your Majesty, do you still need to think about this? There is a candidate for a concubine. I just don't know and don't fit Your Majesty's wishes. Lu Qiongxian said delicately, Wu Yu was charming, and Liu Hongxi was half of his body, almost crispy. His eyes flickered, and he glanced up and down at Lu Qiongxian, as if he had massaged Lu Meiren's whole body with his eyes.

"Yes." Looking at Liu Hongxi's eyes, looking at the half-open mouth that seemed to be about to leave saliva, Lu Qiongxian snorted lightly, twisted his waist, swung **, stepped on broken steps, came to Liu Hongxi, shook his arm, and said: "Your Majesty, you, what do you think of Lu Jianwei?" ”

Liu Hongxi swept Lu Qiongxian's towering chest, swallowed his saliva and said: "Okay, of course, let Lu Jianwei be in charge, and I will give him the commander of the Mabu Army on the West Road, garrison Kangzhou, and have closed the siege of the state." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers below secretly said in their hearts: No wonder this Lu Guifei will come to persuade in person, she doesn't think it's good to fight, but she wants to make her younger brother a bigger official.

Seeing that the emperor had agreed in person, Lu Qiongxian was happy in his heart, and said again: "Your Majesty, what do you think of Emperor Gaozu?" ”

Liu Hongxi was stunned, my beloved concubine, how can I be so dignified, and I said that my father is here. He said immediately: "Emperor Gaozu is eloquent, I am not as good as him." ”

Lu Qiongxian pursed her lips and chuckled, "Your Majesty, it's too modest." The concubine thought that His Majesty and Emperor Gaozu were the same eloquent, but Emperor Gaozu's fortune was better. ”

Liu Hongxi was stunned for a moment, and he then understood: "The meaning of Aifei is me, should I change my name?" ”

"Your Majesty, what a god, you have guessed all the thoughts of the concubines. Your Majesty is extremely intelligent, and in this world, no one can deceive Your Majesty and hide it from Your Majesty. The concubines heard that in the past year, Tang Zhuangzong destroyed Liang and had the intention of annexing the world, but as a result, Emperor Gaozu changed his name to Yanzhi, and the next year, Zhuangzong was killed by the killing army; Later, the name was changed to Gong, and the result was that the white dragon flew on the Sanqing Palace, Gaozu was in his life, and his name was changed many times. According to the concubines, I am afraid that a large part of this fortune has been stationed. Lu Qiongxian said with a smile.

Liu Hongxi was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded in agreement: "If the concubine is right, I will change my name." Well, my world is like the sky, and the great cause is successful, hehe, the day is becoming successful, I will change my name to Sheng. Liu Sheng, what a name. ”

Seeing that Liu Hongxi was so happy, the ministers were also smiling, and hurriedly stepped forward to compliment him.

Liu Hongxi's holy decree soon spread to Rongzhou, and Ning Yuan Jiedu made Wu Huaien no matter what the day was successful, and he immediately mobilized the army and prepared to enter Fengzhou.
