Drinking, writing, narrating, and chatting, Luo Bingwang didn't stay in Su Mansion for long, and he didn't even have time for half an hour before he was called by another person who came in a hurry.

Xiao Dezi, the chief attendant of the Lizheng Palace, turned around outside, and only then did he find a correct position in this Su Mansion, and after explaining the reason to Su Lao Si Nongqing, without saying a word, he directly pulled Luo Bin Wang into the carriage when he came, and ran all the way to the palace and the Lizheng Palace.

Although she had waited for a long time, the eldest grandson queen, who was holding Xiao Zhao'er and teasing her grandson, did not feel bored and impatient, and when she saw King Luo Bin come in to greet her, she still had a gentle smile on her face.

"Student Luo Bingwang, meet the queen mother!" Acting politely and decently, Luo Binwang's slightly dark little face looked a little crimson, the first time he was fortunate to enter the palace compound, the first time he saw the true face of the eldest grandson and queen mother, Luo Apu was able to do it and stop the water, but in this heart, it was inevitable that he was excited for a while. I think back then, I'm afraid that his father didn't have this opportunity to enter the palace and see the queen's mother, right?

"Well," Empress Changsun nodded slightly, and glanced up and down at King Luo Bin, young, polite, calm, although his appearance is not handsome, but it can make people feel at ease, with a loyal and honest appearance, and his teacher Liu Yiyi, but there are some similarities.

"Let's sit down." Raise your hand to hand over the baby grandson in her arms to the palace maid Xianghe, and the eldest grandson queen opened her mouth to give a seat, and the palace maid brought tea.

"Brother Luo is from Yiwu?" After King Luo Bin sat down, the eldest grandson queen asked softly, her voice was very gentle, and there was a few quiet and detailed meanings in it, and it was very comfortable to listen to.

"Back to the queen's mother, the former residence of the students. It is near the county seat of Wushen. Respectfully, King Luo Bin bowed his head and replied, listening to the kind voice of the eldest grandson queen, while his heart was a little calm. King Luo Bin was still a little apprehensive, and he didn't know how the eldest grandson queen suddenly summoned herself here.

"Since ancient times, filial sons have been injured," seeing the slight uneasiness in King Luo Bin's heart, Empress Eldest Sun said warmly: "The people who come out of there are generally very kind and have a sincere heart. ”

"The queen is ridiculous!" Bow down. With a modest sentence, King Luo Bin felt a little floating, and he couldn't help but thank the sages and ancients in his heart. Thanks to them for giving such a good reputation for fighting for black injuries in ancient times, so that he can enjoy some benefits today.

"You are the only disciple of Mr. Liu," he glanced down at Luo Bingwang. Empress Eldest Sun was full of smiles and said, "Since you can enter Mr. Liu's eyes, you have a good point. Your words, I have seen it in this palace, and it has the demeanor of everyone, although compared to Mr. Liu and Ouyang, there is still a little gap, but it can be in just one year. That's what happened. It is enough to see that Brother Luo is very talented. ”

"The words of the Queen's mother. Students are ashamed to be ashamed, and the achievements of sightseeing today are all due to the teachers of the family! "Luo Bing Wang will not believe that he will have any talent, more than ten years of ugly word career, dad and grandfather sighed again and again, has all his self-confidence to grind out, if it is not for the last year of this situation to meet the teacher, I am afraid that until today, his words are still as before, difficult to see.

"Hehe, Brother Luo is too modest, what Mr. Liu teaches is important, but if there is no student like Brother Luo, he can't ask for it." Empress Eldest Sun took a sip of the tea bowl, and then said: "Speaking of which, Mr. Liu has also disappeared for nearly a year, I wonder if Brother Luo has any other news?" ”

This is the second time today that someone has asked him this question, Luo Bingwang's expression became a little gloomy, and he whispered: "Don't hide that the queen mother knows, this sightseeing rushed from Wushu to Chang'an, and the person who did it was the master and the master and their message, but after they came in a hurry, to this day, they still don't know anything, I don't know where they are now?" I wonder if they are okay or not? Especially the old man, the teacher, calculating the days, should have already given birth to the mother, and I don't know whether to give birth to a boy or a girl, whether the mother and child are safe? Alas, it's really nostalgic.

is still the same set of words when he was in Su Mansion, since he came to Chang'an City, I don't know how many times, Luo Bin Wang is closed eyes, and he can also recite them very smoothly.

"Yes, it's really very worrying," after listening to Luo Binwangdi's words, Queen Eldest Sun also sighed lightly, her savior, the family is nowhere to be found, life and death are unknown, and her heart is often worried and she can't sleep peacefully.

"Brother Luo is now in the Ministry of Rites, and he does things every day, but is it still smooth?" Shaking his head slightly, Empress Changsun shook off the sadness just now, although Mr. Liu is not here now, but his brothers, his apprentices, are still on the side, looked up at King Luo Bin, said softly, and asked him.

"Queen Lao is worried, the adults in the Ministry of Rites are polite to the students, and there is nothing difficult for the students in the Ministry of Rites."

"Well, that's fine," Empress Eldest Sun nodded her head, and then instructed Xiao Dezi to bring Yu Yu and the three children to this hall, and leaned over to King Luo Bin and said, "This time, the palace invited Little Brother Luo to His Royal Highness, and there is really something to do, and I hope that Little Brother Luo will not postpone it." ”

Glancing down at King Luo Bin, seeing that he pretended to be frightened, Empress Eldest Sun continued: "It is the professor who returns the pearl, the king of Jin, and the three children of Jinyang to learn the way of learning characters left by Mr. Liu, which is the same as what Brother Luo did in the Ministry of Rites, but the location of this professor is to be replaced in the palace, I don't know what Brother Luo wants?" ”

"The Queen Mother! Well? Luo Bing Wang? Before King Luo Bin could reply, Princess Yuzhang came from the palace with her three younger siblings, and saw King Luo Bin sitting in the palace, his face couldn't help but show a little surprise, how did he come to this palace?

"Uh, it's not" Luo Bin Wang raised his head when he heard this, and the surprise on his face was even worse, how could this beautiful little girl look like the Li Ru who was with Su Chen Gongzi in the Yellow Crane Tower before? Is it a brother and sister? But the little girl who followed behind her, could it also be the little maid's sister?

Woman dressed as a man? This is a question that popped up in Luo Bingwang's head at this time.

"Student Luo Bingwang, I have seen several highnesses!" Seeing them approaching, King Luo Bin was busy getting up and standing up, although he didn't know who they were, but the queen mother just now would not be fake, so. There is nothing wrong with bowing to the audience.

"Luo Gongzi is polite!" "Mr. Luo is polite!"

Yu Zhang took the lead, and the three little guys also returned the salute one after another, and the little girl and the slave were the three of them. Even more wide-eyed, carefully looking at Luo Bingwang's body and face, very curious.

"This little brother Luo is the calligrapher mentioned by the palace before, and he is a disciple of Mr. Liu, and Ru Erdang has also heard of it." Waving her hand to signal them to sit down, Empress Changsun whispered to Yu Zhang and the others: "This palace intends to invite Little Brother Luo to come to this palace to teach the three young slaves to learn calligraphy, and your father and emperor have agreed last night." ”

"To be able to get Professor Luo Gongzi. It is the good fortune of Yuyu and their slaves. Yu Zhang sat down next to Empress Eldest Sun, turned his head to look at King Luo Bin, and whispered.

"I just don't know what Brother Luo's wishes are?" Empress Eldest Sun nodded and looked at King Luo Bin again.

"I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications. Teach it inappropriately! "Just kidding, even the emperor has agreed, how dare he, a little scholar of King Luo Bin, disobey? Luo Bingwang is not the kind of person who does not know practice. And teaching the prince's responsibility like this is also a great good thing for him, a good thing, how can there be a reason to refuse it?

"So, that's it!" Hearing that King Luo Bin responded, Empress Eldest Sun showed a little joy on her face. Turning his head to the three children, he said, "Yuyu." Childish slave, son. The three of you don't hurry up and greet Mr. Luo! ”

"Yes, Queen Mother!" **Before it was hot, the three young men jumped off the ground on the chair, as in the past, they stood in front of King Luo Bin, took the tea handed over by the palace maids, and raised their glasses to the top in a similar manner, and bowed respectfully to King Luo Bin in unison: "Students meet Mr. Luo!" Sir, please use tea! ”

"Hmm!" King Luo Bin did not get up, sat there straight, gave birth to the three children, and then nodded lightly, took the tea bowl in the hands of the three little ones one by one, put it to his mouth and sipped it lightly, and then handed it back to the palace maid.

"Well," Empress Changsun also nodded with satisfaction, and said in her heart that although this King Luo Bin is young, this etiquette and bearing are not bad, and he can not change his color under the princes' salutes, and he can act calmly, except for Zhang Xuansu and Liu Yifan before, there is only this King Luo Bin.

"Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" After the ceremony, Yu Yu and the three of them returned to their seats, and the eldest grandson queen was about to say something, but she saw Xiao Dezi coming in from outside the palace gate.

"Let him in!" With a light command, Empress Changsun raised her eyes and looked at the sky outside, and before she knew it, the sun had set in the west, and the prince came here to take Xiaozhao'er back.

"King Luo Bing?" As soon as he stepped into the palace door, Li Chengqian was stunned, he didn't expect the queen mother to do things so quickly.

After a daily salute, Li Chengqian sat down beside the eldest grandson emperor according to his words, and when he saw King Luo Bin getting up and saluting him, he waved his hand and asked him: "Little brother Luo came to Chang'an this time, is there any news of your teacher?" ”

This problem again, Luo Bin Wang felt that his head was a little big, and once again the ground darkened, and he opened his mouth and repeated the words that he didn't know how many times: "Don't hide that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, this sightseeing rushed from Wushu to Chang'an, and the one who did it"

"Dad," Cheng Chu waved his hand in the hall of Cheng's mansion and drank all the subordinates back, and then sat down under the old man of their family at will, and asked his father in a low voice: "In the past few months, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been tempting the child no less than ten times openly and secretly, and the conditions offered are several times better than that of His Royal Highness King Wu, so the child has been a little hesitant these days, I don't know if I should follow His Royal Highness the Prince's side, and please give a hint to your old man." ”

Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, men are afraid of entering the wrong line, like Cheng Chumo and their generals, the most afraid is to stand in the wrong team at the beginning, with the wrong master, like the general under Prince Yin a few years ago, before the Xuanwumen incident, which one is not the master who can walk sideways on the street, in the court? But after Prince Yin and his relatives were killed by the current earth saints. Where are those people now? Didn't they all turn into a billet of loess and be buried alive in the ground?

"The prince is a little anxious," Cheng Yanjin took a sip of tea very elegantly and glanced at their eldest son. Said: "Since Hou Junji's old boy was pulled down by Liu Yiyi from the position of the military department, although the prince has the support of the eldest grandson Wuji, a cadre and important minister, but under his hands, he has always been unstoppable to help the generals, without military power in hand, even the emperor will not sleep peacefully, and His Royal Highness the prince has no confidence in his heart." It's normal to want to win over you. ”

"It's not just you, it's General Gongsun's Mansion. The Yiguo Mansion, as well as Pharmacist Li, Li Maogong, and the crown prince should also have something to say. It's just that whether they will really be attached to the prince's wings, it's hard to say, "Put down the tea bowl lightly." Cheng Yanjin continued: "The emperor is now at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he has been in power for a long time, and the situation in the DPRK and China, at least within ten years, will not change much, so people who have a little foresight in the DPRK will not express their attitude too early." A lot of people are quietly watching. Choose. ”

"Do you still remember the actions that the second boy of the Liu family and Zhang Chuchu did a few years ago?" Turning his head and glancing at Cheng Chuliang, Cheng Biting Jin said: "It's like them." It is the wisest choice, no one depends, no one attached, and is directly loyal to the emperor, although it will be a little inconvenient in the future, but in the emperor's heart, they are all believers, at least in the emperor's reign for a long time, they will have a good time. ”

"Daddy means, let the children follow their example?" Cheng asked silently.

"They are civilians, powerless and powerless, they belong to the kind of barefoot people who don't wear shoes, they are not afraid of who will go to them for trouble, they have no worries, and they are also the easiest to win the emperor's trust, so this way is the best choice for them, as for you," Cheng Yanjin shook his head slightly, and said: "There is also a saying that people have no foresight, they must have near-term worries, our old Cheng family is now, how to say that it is also a big business, but everything has to be more prepared, and you can't put all the money in one jar." On the emperor's side, it is enough to have a father. ”

Since he said this today, Cheng Yanjin simply let go of his words, and made it clear to his son in advance: "Those who have this kind of thought, not only our Cheng family, you look at the old man Fang Xuanling, when the emperor was still the king of Qin, he has been following the emperor's side, going through trials and hardships, and he is loyal to the emperor, but the two boys of their family, with the crown prince and King Wu, are not very close?" There is also Du Yan and their family, but the Du Xian who is at home doesn't mention it, Du Ren, Du Yi, and Du Zigui, isn't it the same? One brother and two doors, each betting code, just like gambling, the wealth is divided into two parts, each pressing the size, that is, one side loses, there will always be some money left for the capital, so as not to cut off the family, cut off the future of the clan. ”

"What does Dad mean that the child and Xiaoliang will also learn from them and serve the prince and the king of Wu?" Although it feels a little awkward, it is undeniable that for a family, this is indeed a good method and choice.

"This, don't be in a hurry," Cheng Yanjin shook his head slightly, and said: "Now, it's not the time to place a bet, the two royal highnesses of the crown prince and King Wu have their own advantages and disadvantages, among the many princes, only the two of them are the most eye-catching, but this is only for now, who dares to say that after five years and ten years, in addition to the two of them, among the princes below, there will not be one or two people who can compete with them?" You must know that none of the children who grew up in the palace will be fuel-efficient characters, so let's wait, for the prince and King Wu, you and Xiaoliang, don't rush to agree and refuse, just drag it out for the time being. ”

"Yes, Daddy, the boy knows how to do it." The old man's words made Cheng Chumo have a sudden feeling that these things he had never thought of before, but he didn't expect the old man of their family to understand them so thoroughly. It's no wonder that of course, the old man will always follow the emperor's **, with an ax in the east and an axe in the west, and it doesn't take much effort to mix up the current foundation.

The wise are the first, the stupid are the last, and in the future, they should learn more from the old man at home.

Thinking about it, Cheng Chumo stood up and diligently poured some tea for the old man, and saw that the old man was sweating on his face, so he picked up the pu fan on the side and lightly fanned the old man Cheng.

"If you have time, go and invite Liu Yifan from Fengjie to come to the house to sit," Glancing at their eldest son with satisfaction, Cheng Yanjin took another sip of tea to moisten his tongue, and said: "That young descendant, you have to make friends earlier." ”

Cheng Yanjin was also an old minister who followed Li Shimin back then, and he also knew something about Zhao Zhi's old man, that old man, he has never said anything innocent, and he can be appreciated by him, and Liu Yifan is not a layman.

"If it is possible in the future, follow his footsteps, and there will not be too many mistakes," Thinking about Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the eldest grandson Wuji, Cheng Yanjin suddenly had such a thought, perhaps, this Liu Yifan is the next person who follows the master, and if he follows him, he can get some benefits, just like before, he himself has always followed Qin Qiong and Xu Maogong.

Complicated and difficult things, let smarter and more capable people do it, this is the most simple philosophy of life in Cheng Yanjin's life, in fact, he has always done this.

"Got it, Dad," Cheng Chumo said casually, "On the day when Princess Huanzhu was canonized, the child paid more attention to that Liu Yifan, and he also had the heart to come forward to make friends, but that kid has always lived in a simple place, stayed in the palace all day long, and there was only one woman left in the house, which made it impossible for people to start." ”

"What's more, this kid somehow got some relatives with Luo Fu, got very close to Luo Tong and Mrs. Luo, and was protected by Luo Tongxian, a little general, who else dared to provoke him in this Chang'an City?" There was suddenly such a figure in the court that could impress important ministers like Fang Xuanling Cen Wenwen and take the initiative to speak to each other, how could Cheng Chumo not be aware of it at all, and he also had some investigations into Liu Yifan's details and some of his current actions.

"Rotong? Hehe, this Liu boy is really good at picking people," Cheng Yanjin looked stunned, and couldn't help but laugh again, and the evaluation of Liu Yifan in his heart couldn't help but be a little higher, although Luo Tong is now just a commander without soldiers, has no power and power, and cannot be reused by the emperor, he looks like an idle martial artist, and he is not valued by many people. However, in fact, no one knows the value and role of Luo Tong better than Cheng Yanjin, just like his father Luo Shixin, who is a rare general, as long as there is a war in the future, it is only a matter of time before the emperor can really leave him idle.

"But speaking of this kid Luo Tong," Cheng Yanjin stopped laughing, and said in a broken voice: "In the blink of an eye, four or five years have passed, and the emperor's side has almost disappeared, and it is time to ask for some affection for him, and give him a daughter-in-law, otherwise they will be in the same vein as Luofu, and I am afraid that the real one will be destroyed because of this." ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but think of the situation when he used to play and fight with Luo Shixin, Brother Luo has gone, and he, who is a brother, can't watch his descendants have no heirs.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to you Second Uncle Qin," Cheng Biting Jin suddenly became angry, and said to Cheng Chumo, among their old brothers, the one who can speak the most in front of the emperor, and is not afraid of making the emperor angry and blamed, is the only second brother.

"Got it, Dad, the child is going to prepare some supplements, I heard that the second uncle's condition has become a little worse this time." Putting down the pu fan in his hand, Cheng Chumo said with a worried face: "The child once asked the imperial doctor who treated the second uncle in private, saying that the second uncle's body is afraid that it will not last for two years, and my father has to prepare in advance." ”

"Really?" The skin on Cheng Biting Jin's face shrank uncontrollably, although he had been prepared, but when he heard the news, Old Man Cheng's heart was still uncomfortable and sad for a while, they were all old. In the season of the revival of all things, the unthinkable thing was born, and Lao Liu's fingers were frozen again
