Jia Fu cleared his throat and said to Deng Yu: "Zhonghua, let Your Majesty canonize Miss Sacrifice as the county lord, some have passed, and it will be a great favor to be canonized as the county lord." ”

As the name suggests, the county lord is the lord of a county, and the county lord is the lord of a county.

Hou's fief is a county or several counties, and the king's fief is only a county or several counties, so that His Majesty canonized the priest Manwan as the county lord, in Jia Fu's opinion, is indeed too much.

Deng Yu rubbed his chin, thought about it carefully, laughed, and said, "It's a little too much, but it also depends on the situation." After a pause, he asked, "Jun Ran, you say, will Da Sikong agree to this family business?" ”

Jia Fu was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Maybe it used to be, but now, it shouldn't be." ”

Song Hong has been a big boss for several years, and his heart is getting higher and higher. If the priest is still alive, although Song Hong can't look down on it, but with the favor of the Son of Heaven to the priest, as long as the Son of Heaven opens his mouth, he will still agree to this family business.

But the problem is that now that the priest has passed away, the person is no longer there, and the title has not yet reached the lineage of the priest, with Song Hong's arrogance, he may not accept this family business.

Seeing Jia Fu shaking his head vigorously, Deng Yu smiled slightly, and said to Yin Lihua: "Nobleman, if Da Sikong agrees to this family business, the nobleman can suggest to His Majesty that Miss Sacrifice be canonized as the county lord; If the Grand Sikong does not agree to this family business, the nobleman can propose to His Majesty that Miss Priest be canonized as the lord of the county. Anyway! ”

Yin Lihua sighed secretly, it seems that Zhonghua has made up his mind, he wants to find help for Yang'er, and he wants to push Yang'er to win the heir. Yin Lihua's temperament has never liked to fight, and the same is true for the throne.

However, Deng Yu had a sentence that shocked Yin Lihua's cold sweat, in the royal family, it's not that you don't fight or grab, and you can end up with a good end in the end, because of the relationship between your background, the prince's life itself is a sin.

Yin Lihua is not an unreasonable person, Deng Yu and Jia Fu are heart-to-heart to themselves and Yang'er, this love is remembered by her.

She owed to Deng Yu and Jia Fu, and said: "What the two generals said, Lihua has kept in mind, and Lihua will do what Zhonghua tells her." ”

Hearing this, Deng Yu was overjoyed and couldn't help but laugh on his back.

What he is most afraid of is not that Liu Yang is not angry, he is also confident that he can teach Liu Yang to become a generation of Ming Jun.

What he is most afraid of is that Yin Lihua will drag his feet and block Liu Yang's path to the emperor, and it would be great if Yin nobles could figure it out by themselves and follow his proposal.

While they were talking, the red note hurriedly walked in from outside, and when Yin Lihua approached, he whispered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has arrived." ”

Hearing this, Yin Lihua, Deng Yu, and Jia Fuqi stood up in unison, and as soon as they got up, Liu Xiu walked in from outside.

The three of them each saluted and said, "Your Majesty! ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand to the three of them and said, "Let's all be even!" ”

Waiting for Deng Yu and Jia Fu to straighten up, Liu Xiu looked at the teacup on the table and said, "Zhonghua and Junwen, you have nothing to do, can you find Lihua to drink tea, but you refuse to go to me for wine?" ”

Deng Yu and Jia Fu met and smiled, and the former said: "Your Majesty, the fourth prince is sick, and Weichen and Jun Wente have come to visit. ”

Liu Yang was in poor health, and Liu Xiu also heard about it, he turned his head to look at Yin Lihua and asked, "Lihua, how is Yang'er's condition?" ”

Yin Lihua said softly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Yang'er is only occasionally infected with the wind and cold, and it is not a big problem. ”

"Have you seen the Imperial Doctor?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Liu Xiu nodded, and the heart that hung up finally fell. The death of Sai Zun made Liu Xiu deeply feel that there were unforeseen circumstances, even if it was just a minor illness and disaster, he could not be negligent.

He walked to the table, pulled Yin Lihua to sit down, saw the half-written letter on the table, picked it up, read it roughly, and then put the letter down, sighed lightly, and said: "The first grandson left suddenly, and there are no heirs left, I owe a lot to the first grandson!" ”

Deng Yu Zhengse said: "The first grandson and the ministers are deeply blessed by His Majesty, even if they are broken and their livers and brains are smeared, they will not give up. ”

Liu Xiu was silent for a moment and said: "The youngest daughter of the first grandson, Manwan, has passed the age of Xuan, but she has not been married yet, I think that Song Song, the Taishou of Henan, is a good candidate, what do Zhonghua and Junwen think?" ”

Deng Yule smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Your Majesty has a clear mind and a unique vision, and the hand-picked marriage match is a match made in heaven!" ”

"Haha!" Liu Xiu laughed on his back, raised his hand and pointed at Deng Yu, and said, "When will Zhonghua also cater to the holy will?" ”

Deng Yu Zhengse said: "This is the heartfelt words of Weichen. ”

Liu Xiu blinked and said, "Hmm! I thought that this marriage was a good match. ”

The next day, Liu Xiu went to the early dynasty, which was the first early dynasty since Liu Xiu returned to Luoyang. The morning pilgrimage lasted a little longer than usual, and it was held until noon, and the pilgrimage was not dispersed.

Liu Xiu asked the chamberlain to prepare some porridge and distribute it to the ministers of the court, and everyone continued to discuss while eating porridge.

He put down the porridge bowl and said: "This time, I led the troops to crusade against Kui Huan, and marched into Hanyang twice, the first time was defeated in the light enemy, and the second time, although the battle was fruitful, and the Long army was repeatedly hit hard, but it failed to kill Kui Huan, so that Kui Huan successfully escaped to Jicheng, and now, our army is besieging Jicheng, but the grain and grass are already insufficient. Speaking of this, he looked at Song Hong and asked, "Sikong, can the DPRK and China transfer some more grain and grass?" ”

Song Hong stepped out of the ranks, shook his head again and again, and said: "Your Majesty, the Southern Expeditionary Army is fighting with Gongsun Shu and needs money and grain, and the Western Expeditionary Army is fighting with the Qiang people and also needs money and grain. ”

Liu Xiu frowned and said: "If the grain and grass cannot be transported to Jicheng in time, more than 100,000 soldiers of our army will face the dilemma of having no food to eat." ”

Song Hong bowed to Liu Xiu and whispered, "Your Majesty, Weichen has done his best. ”

He has said everything to this point, and Liu Xiu can't say anything more. He turned his head to Zhang Kun and said, "Draft, order Da Sima, choose a day to withdraw the army!" ”

You can't fight a war without food, and once there is a shortage of food and grass, it will be absolutely fatal to an army.

Modern people may not understand that it is because they have never been hungry. Hunger can make people crazy, it can degenerate into wild beasts, it can make people do anything, including cannibalism.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu Xiu deliberately left the confidant ministers such as the Great Situ Fuzhan, the Great Sikong Song Hong, the right general Deng Yu, and the left general Jia Fu. Liu Xiu took the four of them to the Qingliang Hall together.

After the monarchs and ministers sat down, Zhang Kun and Luo Youduan brought tea.

Because it was in private, Liu Xiu's sitting posture was also very casual, he crossed one leg, one leg bent, elbows on his knees, and drank tea slowly.

He said: "As long as it can take time, it is not difficult for our army to break through Jicheng and capture the hustle and bustle!" ”

The battle of Hanyang has been fought so far, both sides are gritting their teeth and standing firm, the Han army is short of food on this side, and there is no shortage of food on the Kui Huan side, the grain and grass on both sides are about to run out, now it depends on who can hold out to the end.

He stretched out two fingers to Song Hong and said, "Zhongzi (Song Hongzi Zhongzi), for two months, as long as you can scrape together two months' worth of grain and grass and send it to Hanyang, our army will break through Jicheng!" ”

Song Hong thought about it seriously, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen...... Not to mention two months of grain and grass, even if it is a month's worth of grain and grass, Weichen can't make it up now! ”

Liu Xiu stared at Song Hong for a moment and sighed softly. This is really no way, even if he knows that his army will be able to endure the hustle and bustle for another two months, but Song Hong can't get food here, no one can do it.

He turned his head to look at Fu Zhan and asked about the government affairs during this time. Fu Zhan's answer was incomprehensible, and his understanding of Luoyang's government affairs was not as good as that of Shangshu Ling Hou Ba, which made Liu Xiu a little dissatisfied.

Seeing that Liu Xiu's eyes darkened, Deng Yu coughed dryly and glanced at Liu Xiu, who saw this, took a deep breath, and held back.

His gaze fell on Song Hong again, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said with a smile: "There is something I want to discuss with Zhongzi." ”

Song Hong hurriedly bowed and asked, "What's the matter with Your Majesty?" ”

Liu Xiu said: "Zhongzi, as the crown prince, has worked hard to deal with government affairs and teach the prince during this time. ”

Song Hong Zhengse said: "This is the responsibility of Weichen. ”

Liu Xiu smiled, changed his words, and asked, "By the way, Brother Ling Song Song, can you have a family affair?" ”

Song Hong was stunned, this is so decent, how did His Majesty talk about his younger brother. He shook his head and said, "It should be...... Not yet! ”

Liu Xiu stroked his palms and smiled, and said, "That's right, I have a suitable candidate for Song Taishou." ”

Song Hong subconsciously asked, "What is the right person that Your Majesty said?" ”

"The third lady of the sacrificial family, the sacrificial manwan." Liu Xiule looked at Song Hong and asked, "What does Zhongzi think?" ”

Song Hong was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, it turned out that His Majesty was going to give his younger brother a family affair, and the object of the marriage was the orphan of the sacrifice, the third daughter Manwan. Song Hong sighed secretly, feeling a little unhappy.

Your Majesty is good anywhere, but he is keen to give people family affairs. In the past, His Majesty wanted to marry the eldest princess of Huyang to himself, and now he wants to marry the orphan of the priest to his younger brother, which is really a headache.

Before Song Hong could speak, Liu Xiu started Lao Wang to sell melons.

He said with a smile: "Manwan is loyal to the martyrs, young and beautiful, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, proficient in everything, is a well-known talented woman, Song Taishou and Manwan, it is really a talented woman, a match made in heaven!" ”

If the sacrifice is really as good as His Majesty said, then why doesn't His Majesty accept her into the palace! Of course, Song Hong only dared to think about it in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

He owed Liu Xiu, and Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, Song Song's marriage match, Weichen can't be the master." ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said: "Ling Zun is deceased, your eldest brother is the father, Zhongzi is the eldest brother of Song Taishou, and Song Taishou's marriage, Zhongzi can be finalized!" ”

Song Hong said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, for the matter of marriage, Weichen and Song Song have already agreed, the matter of marriage is based on his own mind, and Weichen does not interfere. ”

Liu Xiu is not a fool, on the contrary, he is the best of the best, Song Hong is obviously unwilling to accept the marriage between Song Song and Xi Manwan.

To put it bluntly, after the first grandson was gone, he, a dignified master, no longer looked down on the priest.

Unexpectedly, it really made Shengtong say, Song Hong, who is outstanding in virtue and famous for his uprightness, is now also guilty of looking down on people.

Liu Xiu was very unhappy in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he casually snorted and stopped mentioning the matter. Liu Xiu didn't mention it, and Song Hong wouldn't take the initiative to lead the topic to this matter, and the matter seemed to be in the past.

Speaking again, Liu Xiu yawned, and Fu Zhan and Song Hong got up to say goodbye when they saw this. Liu Xiu didn't stay, and after the two of them left, Deng Yu and Jia Fu stood up, walked to Liu Xiu, and sat down on their knees.

Liu Xiu asked, "Zhonghua, what's the matter with Da Situ?" Why doesn't he know much about many government affairs? ”

Da Situ, equivalent to the prime minister, is the head of handling government affairs, and he doesn't understand government affairs, which makes people feel ridiculous.

Deng Yu nodded to Liu Xiu, smiled again, and said: "Your Majesty, there are two reasons, one is that Fu Situ is old and his mental strength is limited. Second, many affairs in the court were handled in Shangshutai, and Fu Situ was reluctant to meddle in Shangshutai's affairs. ”

After listening to Deng Yu's explanation, Liu Xiu was silent for a moment, nodded his head clearly, and said quietly: "That's right, Fu Gong's age is indeed too old, and before, I was negligent." ”

Jia Fu looked at Deng Yu, yes! Zhonghua said in a word, the title of Da Situ, Fu Zhan is about to wear it.
