Chapter 609: The Emperor's Friend
The royal event is the world's joy. The emperor has an heir, and he wants all those he rules to know. Chang'an City is like the New Year these days, even if two people don't know each other, they have to say hello when they meet. At the suggestion of the Queen Mother, the porridge given to beggars and homeless people was a little thicker. The congratulatory gifts of the officials were sent to the palace one by one, and the Yongning Hall where Wei Zifu lived was almost full.
After the Empress Dowager Dou touched the child, she named Liu Ju, as for the artistic conception and saying of the name, there are too often, and the servants with all over the world are complete. The important thing is that this is Liu Che's first son. And he is the eldest son, so it stands to reason that he will be made the crown prince the moment he is born. But no one mentioned this matter, even the imperial historians, who were known as iron bones and dared to say anything, also shut up.
Su Ren, as the driver of the attending medical officer, carried Chun Yuyi into the palace every day in a carriage to recuperate for Mrs. Wei. worked tirelessly and conscientiously, even if Chun Yuyi didn't plan to enter the palace, he would urge or pinch him to go in and have a look. If nothing else, just to talk to Liu Che standing under the corridor outside the Yongning Palace. Who made the emperor happy endlessly, and he didn't even have time to see their brothers.
"Your Majesty is so happy these days, shouldn't you forget about business?"
Liu Che's face was full of joy, and he looked back at Wei Zifu's room from time to time, and if the movement inside was slightly wrong, he would rush over to check. He glanced back again, there was nothing abnormal, and then he replied to Su Ren: "What is the matter?" The affairs of the imperial court are handled by the prime minister, and it is not too late for me to make a decision on any major matters. ”
Su Ren saw that Liu Che was not giving up, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Prime Minister? Are you really relieved to leave everything to the prime minister? I've heard that the prime minister has been busy lately. ”
"It's right to be busy, the prime minister manages hundreds of officials, and he should be busy!" Liu Che heard the child's cry, and immediately got up and ran to the room.
Su Ren was a little crazy, but he couldn't stop it. After drinking two bubbles of tea, he waited for Liu Che to come out: "Can you still talk well?" I think it's appropriate to find a strap to tie Liu Ju to you. ”
Liu Che smiled: "By the way, just now you said that the prime minister was very busy, why is he not busy?" ”
"It's supposed to be busy, but it's not in the right direction, a few days ago, after the prime minister reported to His Majesty for approval from the county guards of several counties, the Prime Minister's Mansion became even more lively, and the Prime Minister also sent someone to his hometown, saying that he was looking for his long-lost niece, and this matter was in charge of the middle doctor Han Yan, Your Majesty don't say you don't know!"
"Niece?"
"Hmmm! Niece! ”
Liu Che frowned: "No, the prime minister has a brother, a brother, a sister, and a sister, Gaihou and Zhou Yanghou are both in Beijing, my sister is the queen mother, and my sister is also my aunt who is also in the palace, what niece are you looking for in your hometown?" ”
Su Ren shook his head: "I don't know, maybe the prime minister misses his relatives, right?" ”
"What relatives are you missing at this time?" Liu Che's heart moved, and his face immediately became serious: "You mean that the prime minister asked Han Yan to look for it?" ”
Su Ren nodded.
Liu Che thought for a while, and snatched the teacup from Su Ren's hand: "Say, what do you want to say?" Something to say! ”
Su Ren looked left and right, and Liu Jiqing hurriedly drove away the palace people and maidservants who were waiting, and he also withdrew ten steps away. Su Ren said at this time: "Speaking of which, Your Majesty should have a sister in the people, right?" Before the Queen Mother entered the palace......"
Liu Che's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, grabbed Su Ren's collar, and gritted his teeth: "How did you know about this?" ”
"Don't don't, don't ......" Su Ren hurriedly told him to forgive, but Liu Che never let go: "Say, say it quickly!" ”
Su Ren was helpless: "I also knew it from the prime minister, and I also knew that Han Yan told the prime minister, but I don't know why the prime minister wanted to find it!" If Your Majesty doesn't want to be found, I'll do it, but I have to think about how to explain it to the Queen Mother, by the way, there is also news that Liu Qian, the son of Liu An, the king of Huainan, has just married a woman and was made the princess, surnamed Jin! I'm done, can I let it go now? ”
Liu Che still didn't let go, and stared at Su Ren tightly with a pair of eyes. Su Ren still has a hippie smile. After a long while, Liu Che slowly let go of his hand, closed his eyes and slowed down for a long time: "Liu An? ”
Su Ren nodded.
Liu Che gritted his teeth and said, "Lei Quilt is still at your house?" ”
"In!"
"Let him go to the Tingwei's Mansion tomorrow."
"No!"
Out of the door of the palace, the cold sweat on Su Ren's back still hadn't dried. What does it mean to be a companion like a tiger? Su Ren finally understood. In this era of imperial supremacy, it is actually a very dangerous thing to be friends with the emperor. If you don't say a good word, there is a possibility that your head will move. At the moment when Liu Che grabbed him by the collar, Su Ren saw a murderous aura in Liu Che's eyes.
The reason why the emperor called him a lonely man is indeed justified. Since ancient times, people who have been close to the emperor have not had a good end, not to mention those heroes and good generals who accompanied Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to fight the world together, who died well? No one. Even people like Xiao He and Zhang Liang have to use self-defilement or escape to protect themselves, and Han Xin died a miserable death.
Many of those people are brothers and sisters with Liu Bang, and even grew up together since childhood. But since Liu Bang became the emperor, no one dared to say anything to Liu Bang. Liu Che is also the emperor, and Su Ren has thought about those words repeatedly, and he has taken great risks. Not everyone dares to say the secret of the Queen Mother, and only Su Ren, who is not afraid of temporal boldness, is so ignorant of life and death.
When he returned home, took a shower and changed his clothes again, Su Ren took two breaths and instructed Liu Gao to find Han Qing and Leng Jun. Han Qing knew the inside story, and Leng Jun never asked about Su Ren, and only thought about the safety of his family wholeheartedly.
Su Ren scratched his head: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to send Lei Shu and Liu Jianjian to the Tingwei Mansion." ”
Han Qing was stunned: "Mr. means ......"
"Don't ask too much, after sending people to us, our mission will be completed, and we will also release the wind to Princess Guantao, and say that the wizard of Huainan Kingdom has been rescued."
Leng Jun frowned: "Do you want to let Su Kai take over?" ”
Su Ren shook his head: "No, Su Kai is now the emperor's person, when will he take over the emperor's affairs, we just need to send these hot potatoes out as soon as possible." ”
Han Qing nodded: "In that case, is Liu Shuang ......?"
"There's no need to worry about this, let's take a look at the situation of King Huainan first, and knock out the two princes and kings in one fell swoop, the emperor doesn't have that appetite yet, it's more appropriate to come one by one, as long as King Huainan suffers, King Hengshan doesn't dare to move."
Leng Jun said: "You are playing with fire, be careful to burn yourself!" ”
"Hey, there's no way, who let us make too many enemies, and they are all big shots, if we don't get rid of them one by one, we will never want to be peaceful, we can only pick up the trickiest ones to deal with."
Several people discussed it properly, and invited Lei and Liu Jian to come, and talked with the two of them for half the night. After repeated deliberation of various arguments, it was determined.
The next day, it was just dawn. Under the escort of Leng Jun, Hawking and others, the two carriages quietly came out of the back door of the Su Mansion and drove quickly towards the Tingwei Mansion. The early morning in Chang'an City was very deserted, and there were few people on the streets. Such a large group of people is particularly remarkable. Just after Powder Alley, two carriages suddenly came out from both ends of the street, blocking the team in the alley.
Liu Hong was wearing only single clothes, standing at the mouth of the alley on horseback, glanced at the carriage that was forced to stop, and asked Leng Jun with a smile: "I didn't expect Su Ren to even use you, you have rarely walked out of the gate of the Su family in the past few years!" ”
Leng Jun glared at Liu Hong: "So what?" If I want to take your life, I just need to move my finger a little. ”
"That's it! I have already learned how to use the swordsmanship of the cold road chief, but let me remind you, you can look at the roofs on both sides and then choose what to do? ”
All eyes turned to the roof. A dozen men with bows and arrows on their backs showed their heads. Hawking was furious and waved the halberd in his hand: "Liu Hong, what do you want to do?" ”
Liu Hong smiled: "Don't do anything, as long as you put down the two carriages, I promise that you can all leave safely, if you want to do it, my son will accompany you to the end!" ”
Hawking wanted to rush up, but was stopped by Leng Jun. took two steps forward, looked at the arrogant Liu Hong, and said coldly: "Can you speak?" ”
Liu Hong said: "Even if I don't talk enough, what can you do?" Do you think you still have a choice? ”
Leng Jun took a deep breath: "Okay, the carriage stays, let's go!" ”
Liu Hong laughed: "That's right, why bother yourself for these things?" Things are someone else's, but life is your own! ”
Leng Jun returned the sword to the sheath, turned the horse's head and left the guard's carriage. The guards who came with him gathered around Leng Jun and slowly retreated. Liu Hong suddenly didn't believe it, these people retreated too cleanly, not at all like Su Ren's approach. According to Liu Hong's understanding of Su Ren, even if he can't do it, he will have some words left, such as revenge in the future. And today Leng Jun turned his head and left, without the slightest hesitation.
Waiting for Leng Jun and the others to exit the alley, Liu Hong waved his hand, and his own driver rushed over and grabbed the reins of the horse. Liu Hong hurriedly asked, "Is there anyone in the car?" ”
He was not afraid of death and rushed over to open the curtain. As Liu Hong guessed, the carriage was empty, not to mention that there was not even a ghost in the car. Liu Hong laughed: "Sure enough, it's Su Ren, and he has always done things like this!" ”
The guards on the side were furious by Liu Hong's laughter, and it took a long time before he timidly asked, "Childe, what should I do next?" ”
Liu Hong glanced at the guards and smiled coldly: "What should I do?" Could it be that you want to go to the Tingwei Mansion to ask for someone? ”
"Ahh The person has already gone to the Tingwei Mansion, so isn't the matter explained by the king ......?"
"This is what my father wants." Liu Hong sighed: "But this is the worst result, let everyone disperse, all go back to Huainan immediately, not allowed to stay for a while, maybe Jing Zhaoyin's people have already come here at this time." ”
"No!" The guards didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly agreed to go down to do something.
