(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Liu Youfinally said goodbye, took a few steps, suddenly rushed forward, and almost fell, the building was hard and fat, and the building was closer, so he was busy stepping forward to help.

Liu Youzhong said with a smile: "Saying that old is old, Master said that after I was sixty years old, I was overwhelmed, and I thought it was a good thing, it turned out that I would have back disease." ”

"Give me Wanguan, your back disease may be cured." Lou Hard is very familiar with Liu Youzhong and often jokes.

"It's all fate, I'd rather be thrown down by Wanguan than be a poor bastard with a straight waist."

"Mr. Liu eats with his mouth, it doesn't matter how his waist is. Seventeen, send Mr. Liu out. Lou Wen was in a good mood and was very satisfied with Liu Youzhong.

The foundation of the building should be, holding Liu Youzhong out, passing through the second hall, no one before and after, Liu Youyou stopped stepping, grabbed the wrist of the foundation of the building, and whispered: "You have something to ask me, right?" ”

Lou Ji was taken aback, and said after a while: "Mr. Liu doesn't eat with his mouth, but with his eyes." ”

"Haha, or can you talk, where does your family live?"

"Back alley, east to the seventh gate."

"Okay, I'll see you at your house later."

"Mr. Law."

"I have something to ask you, too."

Lou Ji sent Liu You to the gate and went back to the back hall to see his father.

Lou Wen was talking to Lou Hard, and when he saw Seventeen Er coming back, he said, "Tell me, does Your Majesty really want to get rid of the Huangfu family?" ”

stepped forward on the foundation of the building, "The child is foolish, thinking that His Majesty wants to get rid of more than the Huangfu family. ”

"Who else?"

"According to Shen Tan, Shao Junqian went to the Shen family before going to the third brother's mansion, and hoped that the two brothers would go to Bingzhou as soon as possible, please return to Shen Mushou, and take charge of the forbidden army instead of Cao Shenxi, the Duke of Xiao Guo."

Lou Qiang was furious, "I drank wine with Shen Da for a long time, and he didn't even mention it!" ”

Lou Wen sneered, "That's Shen Da is cautious, Shen Wu is not sensible, so he will talk nonsense." It's always good to get the news, though. It's strange, Your Majesty asked Cao Shenxi to temporarily manage the army of the Western Expedition on my behalf, and asked Lao Shen to come back to replace Cao Shenxi, what kind of fame are you doing? ”

Lou Ji couldn't answer, Lou thought for a while, "Or Liu Youzhong is right, this is His Majesty's temptation to several important ministers, continue to be in power if you perform well, and go home to support the elderly if you don't perform well, father, our Lou family can continue to be in power, and everyone in the family is counting on my father." ”

"Hey, count on me for everything, one day I die, you go to the underworld with me?"

Lou Gong smiled, he was skilled by the emperor's side, and his father would not care about anything.

Lou Wen looked at Seventeen again, "How long have you known the fifth child of the Shen family?" ”

"I met for the first time yesterday, and I only heard his name before, but I didn't see him."

"Just met him and put his heart on you?"

"Shen Tan hopes to use the power of the general."

"What is my relationship with Shen Mushou, and I need you to pass the word?"

"What my father said is, and I don't understand why Shen Tan said this to me."

Lou Wen was silent for a moment, "Hard fat man, you step aside." ”

"Hard Fat Man" was very surprised, "Father ......"

"Get out of the city immediately, let the group of wastes in the Lou family rest assured, and then reward the general for me, just say...... Just say thank you for their care of the Lou family. ”

"I understand, in fact, my appearance is enough to reassure them. How much is the reward. ”

"Two libraries, I'll go out of one library, and you will go out of one library."

Since Lou Hard was born, his eyes have never been so wide, "Yiku...... Father said a library? ”

"Money is easy to disperse and easy to obtain, less nonsense, go ahead."

Lou Gong retired, asked the steward to open the treasury, took out the money and silk jewelry, and transported them to the military camp outside the city to reward the generals.

At this time, it was a little late to buy people's hearts, but it was better than nothing, and Lou Ji secretly admired his father's decision.

"That's all we have left, you can say."

"After Shen Tan arrives in Bingzhou, he will strongly persuade Shen Mushou to stay still, and he hopes that the general can also march west as soon as possible, away from Luoyang, and then make plans."

"Who does Shen Wu think he is? actually made arrangements for me and Lao Shen. ”

"Shen Tan just hopes ......"

Lou Wen raised his hand to stop his son from talking, thought for a while, and lowered his arm, "Lao Shen will definitely return to Beijing." ”

"Shen Mushou stayed in Bingzhou, foolproof, why should he risk returning to Beijing?"

Lou Wen laughed, "I may not have as many eyes as you kid, but I learned a trick from Liu Youzhong, and when I have a lot of ideas, I think more about people and less about things." Unless you can directly inquire about the truth, the more you think about it, the more chaotic it becomes, but the more people see it, the clearer it becomes. I don't know what His Majesty's intentions are, I can't see through him, but I can see through Lao Shen. ”

Lou Wen sighed, thinking back to the past, "You are right, Lao Shen is a person who asks for 'foolproof' in doing affairs, when today's son ascends the throne, others are forced to go out, but he took the initiative to ask to go out of the town and merge the state, thinking that he can stay away from the court disputes." His Majesty summoned him back to Beijing, and if he didn't return, he would have to rebel, but he was not ready, and he thought that I would take care of him in Beijing, and it would be safer to act according to orders. ”

"My father will also follow his name."

"Huh? What's that? ”

"I mean, my father sees people very accurately."

"Look at others may not be, look at Lao Shen, nine out of ten are stable."

"Can't my father write a letter to persuade Shen Mushou to stay in Bingzhou?"

"And then being told I want to rebel? It's good that Lao Shen comes back, he is in charge of the forbidden army in the city, and I am in charge of the troops of the western expedition outside the city, and the two families join forces, which is really 'foolproof'. ”

"Your Majesty won't really hand over the forbidden army to Shen Mushou, right?"

"Didn't you hear Liu Youzhong's idea? Tomorrow I will return the handsome seal, if the imperial court takes advantage of the situation to collect the seal, I will immediately send someone to merge the state, let Lao Shen stay, if the imperial court insists on letting me take charge of the army, then what else is there to worry about? Your Majesty tempted loyalty, and I will show him faithfulness. ”

Seeing that his father had made up his mind, Lou Ji didn't want to say anything more, let alone mention Shen Tan's suggestion of "changing the dynasty".

"You're still too young." Lou Wen's tone was rarely soft, more like a father than ever, "It's really similar to Princess Wu Guo, she often puts on a look like you, obviously has something in her heart, but she doesn't say it, no matter how she asks—I still don't understand, why did she commit suicide?" Obviously no one forced her. ”

Lou Ji almost blurted out - his mother would rather die than cry for the enemy of the country - but he didn't say it, like his mother, he didn't say anything.

Speaking of Princess Wu, Lou Wen's heart was touched, and he waved his hand and said, "You go, come into the palace with me tomorrow." ”

Lou Wen didn't explain the reason for entering the palace, and Lou Ji didn't ask, so he bowed and left.

Liu Youzhong was already waiting, but the carriage did not stop outside the door, obviously coming on foot.

The old servant recognized Liu Xiangshi, and entertained him very well, and when he saw that the master was back, he said that he was going out without waiting for a signal.

Liu Youzhong didn't seem to have seen enough, and stared at the building for a long time, but he didn't explain.

"Mr. Liu is a guest, please ask Mr. Liu first." Floor Road.

"Originally, there was something to ask, but now it's gone, Lou Gongzi asked me." Liu Youzhong smiled slightly.

Lou Ji had a lot to ask, but the first one to come out was this sentence: "Why did Mr. Liu leave me such a sentence back then?" ”

"Shut up for the virtuous ruler of the world, open your mouth for the hero of troubled times?"

"With this sentence, I have been ridiculed for a long time, even now, and occasionally people mention it, but I don't hide it, it's all ridicule."

"Haha, that's right. I have two reasons, one true and one false, which one do you want to hear? ”

"Nobody wants to hear fakes."

"On the contrary, I have countless people, and the vast majority of people prefer to listen to fakes, such as General Ling Zun."

"The so-called Your Majesty is testing the important ministers, is it a lie?"

"It's true, but it's not necessarily true." Liu Youzhong always smiled mysteriously, as if he was hiding, and as if he was playing, "The important thing is that the general needs the word 'temptation', if I say anything else, it will be useless to the general, and I will cause trouble." ”

"I don't understand ......"

"The general has already made up his mind that he is only asking for peace of mind when he comes to me. If I talk nonsense, the general will be flustered, and if I do great things with such a heart, I will definitely be defeated. Let the general calm down first, and no matter what you do, you will make fewer mistakes. ”

Lou Ji finally understood what Liu Youzhong meant, "So you can't guess Your Majesty's thoughts at all?" ”

"Your Majesty is in the palace, I am outside, Your Majesty is the Supreme of Ten Thousand Times, I am a grass people, let me guess Your Majesty's thoughts, it is like shooting an arrow across the river, but you have to hit a copper coin on the other side."

Lou Ji also smiled.

"So—true or false, which do you want to hear?"

"Really, I don't need comfort, I just want to know what was going on back then?"

"It has to start at the beginning. The general said that I eat with my mouth, and Lou Gongzi thinks that I rely on my eyes, which is true, but my real housekeeping ability is it. Liu Youzhong raised his hand and gently pulled his ears.

"Ears?"

"Yes, it's not just me, but the real Xiangshi have to rely on it to make their lives. I think that back then, the general who leaned towards the government and the opposition suddenly invited me into the mansion, I naturally wanted to think about the reason, so I inquired in many ways, plus what I heard on weekdays - it turned out that the general was afraid of ghosts. ”

Lou Ji knew who the "ghost" was, but he didn't want to speak.

"When the general attacked the state of Wu, he killed a lot, and his heart was always uneasy. It happened that the emperor died, the princess of Wu committed suicide, Lou Gongzi suddenly refused to speak, the new emperor ascended the throne at the beginning of the power and ministers competed for the throne, the general suffered from disobedience, and his heart became more and more afraid, so he asked me to look at the face, in fact, I still asked for a peace of mind. ”

"Give me a special prophecy that will give the general peace of mind?"

Liu Youzhong smiled and said: "The ingenuity of my prophecy is that it can make Lou Gongzi stand out among the brothers. ”

"You did."

"Half good luck, half bad, this is also our usual method, not to say to death, to leave a way back for prophecy. The more special Lou Gongzi is, the more reassuring the general will be, because he will feel that the soul of Princess Wu Guo is here with you, not with him. ”

Lou Ji didn't understand it very well, Liu Youzhong could see it, and said with a smile: "This kind of thing will be unclear for a while, in short, the general is this kind of person, after I made the prediction, the general hasn't seen you for a few years, right?" ”

"Ten years."

"Look, the general is still afraid of the souls around you, and he won't see you until he hears that you're all right, and thinks the souls are gone."

Liu Youzhong's words sounded like something was true, and a knot in Lou Ji's heart was untied, and he suddenly understood that he was also seeking "peace of mind", the method was the opposite of ordinary people, the general would rather listen to "false", and he had to seek "true", so he arched his hand and said: "Mr. Liu is a master, worthy of the title of the god of the south, whether your words are true or false, they have the same miraculous effect." ”

"Haha, Lou Gongzi won the award. There is also a truth: Lou Gongzi was too young back then, I can't see anything, but when I see it today, I dare to say that Lou Gongzi has great disasters and great fortunes. ”

"Half good and half bad again?"

Liu Youzhong smiled even more cheerfully, and only stopped after a while, "I came here, not only to tell the 'truth' about the old days, but also to ask Mr. Lou for a favor." ”

"It's my honor to be able to help Mr. Liu, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

"Arrested, definitely arrested." Liu Youzhong once again carefully looked at the foundation of the building, and said slowly: "Xiangshi lives by his ears, so I especially want to know: Why does Your Majesty value Lou Gongzi so much?" ”

"Because of the recommendation of the eldest princess of Luoyang."

"No, no, I know the way in the palace, the recommendation of the eldest princess can indeed make a person rise to the top, but it is not an overnight achievement, and His Majesty will never easily favor anyone. Extraordinary actions can show more sincerity, outsiders want to see through the emperor, they must start from Lou Gongzi. ”

With just a few words, Lou Ji's heart suddenly brightened up and understood many things.
