After Xiao Zhen Wan rejected Tuobashen's proposal, he held the national letter and asked: "I heard the prince say yesterday that the eldest son of Liu Chang, the king of Jinxi in the former dynasty, went to Jiankang with the northern envoy. ”

After Xiao Daocheng abolished the emperor after killing the queen, he gradually usurped the Liu Song regime, and cut off the Liu Song Dynasty one after another, and after the establishment of the Qi Dynasty, he gave the pig king's sons to death under the pretext of rebellion, and all the descendants of the Liu family who were knighted in the Chan Dynasty were exempted from being common people, and there was no trace of the children of the Liu family in Jiankang City, and now Liu Chang's eldest son actually came with him, which made Xiao Zhen quite puzzled.

He didn't have any concerns about this Liu Chang's eldest son. Although Liu Chang was forced to rebel in the north, his reputation was ruined, and in the hearts of Jiangzuo's subjects, he had already regarded him as a traitor who did not know self-love and abandoned China to join the court. Now even if Liu Chang comes back in person, it won't be able to become a climate, let alone a son born in the captive realm.

"Liu Wenyuan came to Jiangzuo to inherit his father's life. In the past, the king of Danyang was forced by Liu Ziye, returned to this dynasty, and now there have been more than 20 years not to worship his father. My lord is merciful and benevolent, and I hereby edict Liu Wenyuan to attach to the mission. The foreign minister originally wanted to invite His Majesty after some time, and asked your court to allow the Liu family to go to worship his father, ancestors, brothers and elders. Now that His Majesty asked about this matter, the foreign ministers did not dare to hide it. Please also ask Your Majesty to read Liu's filial piety and grant his request. ”

Xiao Zhen was silent for a moment and said: "Liu Changwai rebelled against Jiangbei and polluted the world. Ben Liu's rebel son, Jiangzuo rebel. But the descendants of the Liu family are not, although this dynasty has a division of four o'clock sacrifice sweep, but it is not the Liu family, it is difficult to line the ancient rites. Now Liu Chang sent his son to sacrifice with filial piety, and I didn't do much to stop him. ”

As soon as Xiao Chen's words fell, he saw someone on the left side of the stairs get up and salute, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible." ”

Tuoba looked over cautiously, and it turned out to be Shen Yue who he had seen outside the West Mansion yesterday.

"Shen Qing has something to say."

"Your Majesty has an order, and the ministers should respect it. Ranchen is a Taiwanese minister, and he dare not say anything out of his duty. Since Liu Chang turned his back on his homeland, he rebelled against his father and ancestors, not only the son of the previous dynasty, but also the sinner of this dynasty. Since Liu Chang rebelled in Jiangbei, he invited the Wei Dynasty soldiers to commit crimes in the south several times, and then bought traitors to assassinate angels. Its sin in the left side of the river is clear! Now that his son is in Jiankang, he is aware of his father's treason, and he is punished to stifle his adultery. How can you allow Sun to refoule Jiangzuo! Although His Majesty has the heart of filial piety, he can do his best to the people. Please refrain from Liu's rebellion. ”

Of course, Shen Yue's name, Tuoba Shen, knew that he was the compiler of the Book of Song in the Twenty-four History. Wencai really doesn't have to say anything, but when it comes to character, it's not very good. He took the initiative to cater to Xiao Yan as emperor on the occasion of the Qiliang Chan Dynasty, and persuaded him to enter the table, but he told God that it was Xiao Yan's idea. In the history books, the people who have no talent and virtue among the children of the gate valve are dissatisfied with "being enterprising and sitting until the minister", but in reality, it is still very positive to safeguard the interests of the gate valve.

Tuoba Shen didn't wait for Xiao Zhen to answer, got up and said to Xiao Zhen after saluting: "Shen Zhongcheng (Shen Yue was the imperial historian Zhongcheng) said this inappropriately. The minister has something to say. ”

Xiao Zhen was angry that he didn't say anything early, so he had to wait until he had made a decision before speaking. Now seeing Tuoba Shen speak, he said, "The northern envoy said." ”

"King Danyang was originally a minister of the Liu family, and he was suspected of the tyranny of Liu Ziye, so he returned to this dynasty as a Wei minister. This section is well known to Jiangzuo Shishu. At the time of the Chan Dynasty of your country, it has been ten years, and the king of Danyang has not been a Qi minister for a day. Liu Wenyuan is twenty-one years old this year, grew up in Pingcheng, and has not been a Qi minister for a day, how can there be a traitor. Today, Shen Zhongcheng spoke as his own official (Yu Shi Zhongcheng is the supervision officer, and he is responsible for impeaching the courtiers for breaking the law and violating the prohibition), and Liu Wenyuan will be punished, is it possible that the law of the Qi Dynasty should be applied to the people of this dynasty? ”

"As for the assassination of your country's Che Seng Lang, in the past, this dynasty had already beheaded the assassin to show favor, and Yin Lingdan was also sent back to Jiankang, and your country had already rectified the Yin family, this matter has long been closed, why bring up the old matter again today? If Shen Zhongcheng is puzzled, he can go to Yin Ling's birthday to visit. I heard that Shen Zhongcheng believes that the gods are knowledgeable, and there must be a psychic method in the future. In the end, Tuoba Shen sarcastically said to Shen Yue.

Shen Youxiu "Book of Song", in which he talked about supernatural things and promoted Buddhism and the concept of destiny. Tuoba Shen read history in his previous life, and he always scoffed at the supernatural events recorded in the "Book of Jin" and "Book of Song".

"Please also ask Your Majesty to show filial piety to the sons of man and give it to the ministers of friendly countries. Then the foreign minister was grateful on behalf of the Liu family," Tuoba Shen finished speaking, and bowed.

。。。。。。

After sitting in the Taiji Hall until noon, after talking to Tuoba Shen and Li Biao about the diplomatic relations between the two countries, Xiao Zhen looked at the situation outside the hall, got up and took the cane handed over by the courtier Shao Shengzhi with his right hand, and said with a smile: "It's almost noon, I am preparing for the afternoon banquet in the Qianguang Palace, and I also invite the northern envoy to join the banquet with the ministers, right?" ”

Tuoba Shen, Li Biao and Xiao Changmao, Wang Xie and the others got up one after another, and thanked: "The guest is as he pleases, Your Majesty has an edict, how dare you disobey." "Although Tuoba Shen doesn't know where the Qianguang Palace is, it is good to be able to walk around the Jiankang Palace a little more, just to see the different regulations of each palace and the palace layout of the Jiankang Palace. He replied immediately.

Xiao Zhen smiled and nodded, walked out of the hall gate and turned right first, Tuoba Shen and the others followed behind, and walked with Xiao Changmao and the others. After getting off the Taiji Palace, Xiao Zhen did not board the car prepared on the palace platform, but walked down the Taiji Hall from the West Pavilion Gate to the emperor's bedroom, and the Qianguang Hall was located in the emperor's bedroom.

Before walking to the Shiqian Palace, Xiao Xun looked at the alleyway to the harem, stopped and turned to Tuoba Shen and said: "There is a mother family of His Royal Highness the Northern Envoy in the palace, and yesterday I heard that the Northern Envoy went to Jiankang, and I want to invite the Northern Envoy to see it." Unknown North Envoy would like to go? After speaking, he smiled at Li Biao and Jiang Shaoyou, who had different faces after listening to his words: "Erqing, don't be anxious, I have good intentions, Erqing don't worry, I can ensure that His Royal Highness is safe in the palace." ”

Xiao Zhen's sudden words not only made Li Biao and Jiang Shaoyou feel strange, but even Tuoba Shen felt very abrupt. This Jiankang Palace is the first time he has come, when he was in Pingcheng, he also lived in the palace for a long time, and he has not even seen his mother's relatives a few times, how can he have his mother's family in Jiangzuo, which is thousands of miles away?

However, it is not fake to let Xiao Zhen say the words of invitation as the emperor.

Tuoba Shen was also curious.

"Since the elders are called, they should go."

Seeing that Tuoba Shen agreed, Xiao Zhen said to Xiao Ziqing, who was standing beside Xiao Changmao: "Yun Chang, you and His Royal Highness the Northern Envoy will go with you." ”

"Yes, Your Father!" Xiao Ziqing bowed

Since Tuoba Shen entered the former dynasty, Xiao Ziqing has been paying attention to Tuoba Shen's actions and words, although the two have not said a word, but they have a good impression of Tuoba Shen's "relative". is not as vulgar and rude as the rumored northerners, and it can be seen between the words that he has read a lot of Han books, and he doesn't feel so dazzling when he looks at Tuoba Shen's bearded clothes and braids.
