Su Ren suddenly arrived in Lu'an, which made Liu Ci panic for a long time. Su Ren is the Guanglu doctor appointed by the emperor to deal with the affairs of the Yue people, and the emperor is standing behind him. The princes were already suspicious of the emperor, and if the emperor was disgusted in this matter, his life would be even more difficult.

Liu Ci hurriedly walked around the room, Han Yan sat aside, and said with disdain: "A Su Ren, why should the king be like this?" ”

Liu Ci said: "Doctor Han doesn't know, this King Su Renben always has a feeling of fear when he sees it, when he went to Huiji a few years ago, he defeated 900 bandits with 200 people, this time only with 10,000 soldiers in Huiji to pacify Lingnan, His Majesty is heavy, if this matter is known by His Majesty, I, how can I be good?" ”

"How old is Su Ren? Does he have me close to His Majesty? Han Yan was noncommittal: "Isn't it just a little credit?" This time I came to Jianghuai for him, since he sent it to the door, it was just right! ”

"What does Dr. Han want?"

Han Yan smiled: "Don't panic, the king, I will do it neatly and neatly, and I will never embarrass the king." ”

Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, frowned, wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, there was no way for a while. When Menzi came to report and Su Ren asked to see him, Liu Cishun said that he was sick and did not want to contact Su Ren.

Wei Qing looked at Han Yan, then at Liu Ci, walked to Liu Ci's side, and said in his ear: "King, although Han Yan has the support of the eldest princess and the queen, but behind Su Ren is His Majesty, we can't count on two women, it's better to see each other." ”

Liu Ci was shocked, nodded again and again, and hurriedly found someone to chase after Menzi. Fortunately, Menzi had not gone far and was chased back. Liu Ci ignored Han Yan's obstruction and personally went out of the house to greet him. This is the second time Liu Ci has greeted Su Ren, and every time it is when Su Ren is in the limelight. Seeing each other again, Liu Ci showed extreme humility: "Su Zhonglang is here, why don't you notify in advance, Xiao Wang can also go out of the city to greet him, let Su Zhonglang be a long marquis, guilty of sin." ”

"The king is entangled in affairs, and there is no big deal in the next, and he came to visit when he passed by Lu'an, and a small gift is not a tribute." With a wave of his hand, someone carried several large boxes into the Hengshan Palace.

Entering the lobby, Su Ren saw the steaming teacup on the small table at a glance, he didn't pick it out, and still talked and laughed with Liu Ci. The guests and hosts sat down, and someone served tea. Liu Ci smiled and said: "Since Su Zhonglang left, the trend of drinking tea has prevailed in Hengshan country, Xiao Wang also feels that there are shortcomings if he doesn't drink for a day, this is a new tea from Huoshan, Su Zhonglang tasted it, what is the difference with what Su Zhonglang did last year?" ”

Su Ren picked up the teacup and tasted it, the tea was slightly jerky, and it couldn't be compared with his tea. smiled: "Good tea, really good tea, this Huoshan is a treasure land!" Tomorrow, I will let the people of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce come to Dawang to purchase some, and I will be lucky to return to Shuzhong and Chang'an, so that more people can know the fragrance of Huoshan tea. ”

"Hehehe, Su Zhonglang said with a smile, you are the ancestor of tea making, how can our people here compare with Su Zhonglang? I have also drunk Shuzhong tea, Su Zhonglang don't lie to me. ”

Su Ren also smiled: "Let the king see through it, and ask for guilt." ”

The two chatted very happily, and the things in their hearts were not written on their faces, they were waiting for the other party to speak first, and everyone knew that the one who spoke first was the loser, so they tacitly maintained this kind of casual conversation. Seeing that after noon, the two started chatting over tea, and all kinds of novelties from Tiannan and Haibei were full of flowers, and Su Ren's extensive knowledge surprised Liu Ci. Many times, it was Liu Ci who was listening, and Su Ren was talking.

There was nothing to talk about, so the two didn't speak, drank tea quietly, and looked out the door quietly. It was about to get dark, and Su Ren still had no intention of leaving. Liu Ci couldn't rush hard, so he could only sit with him. When the prince Liu Shuang heard that Su Ren was coming, he immediately came over to pay a visit, and he asked for warmth again, and said a few words, but Liu Shuang turned the topic to the matter of Yue Ren.

Liu Shuang looked sincere and asked Su Ren: "I heard that Su Zhonglang killed the Yue people in Lingnan, I admired it very much, and I couldn't wait to go to Lingnan with Su Zhonglang at that time. Now that the Yue people are attached, His Majesty also ordered Su Zhonglang to be placed with full authority, I don't know what else Su Zhonglang needs? ”

Su Ren smiled: "The prince is polite, when it comes to the affairs of the Yue people, there are indeed some problems, the Yue people are attached to more than 200,000 yuan, and they tried their best to arrange half of them, who expected that there would be a problem with this half, the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce purchased thousands of hectares of land in the Jianghuai River, I originally planned to use these lands to settle the Yue people, but a few days ago, the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce suddenly repented, which caught me off guard, this is not in a hurry to go over and see, hey!" ”

"Shang Jia is more treacherous, Su Zhonglang is still too merciful, just kill a few people."

"Hmmm! What the prince said is very true, but they also have difficulties, I heard that the root is still in the king's place, I don't know if there is such a thing? Su Ren turned the gun and pointed it at Liu Ci.

"Ugh!" Liu Ci was stunned. Liu Shuang hurriedly said: "Those businessmen are unjust, what do they have to do with my father?" ”

Su Ren nodded: "I think so too, but they are conclusive, saying that the king wants to forcibly buy back that land to build a barracks, and the land they purchased in Jiujiang Country is also the same statement, how can there be such a coincidental thing in this world, it must be those treacherous businessmen who deliberately make it difficult and hope to get more money from me." ”

Liu Shuang nodded: "Well, presumably yes, Su Zhonglang must not tolerate adultery, now is the time to be loyal to His Majesty, if anyone dares to disobey His Majesty's great policies, he should be killed!" ”

Su Ren clearly found the clue from Liu Shuang's eyes. When Liu Shuang said the word killing, those eyes couldn't help but glance at Liu Ci. Su Ren shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The prince is too radical, I am investigating this matter, it must have nothing to do with the king, and when it is verified, I will make those businessmen pay the price." ”

Liu Shuang nodded again and again: "It is a good thing for my Han to be attached to the Yue people, not only to pacify the border troubles in southern Xinjiang, but also to increase the national strength, if I can move to Hengshan country, it is also to increase the population of Hengshan country by tens of thousands, Gaozu except for the explosion of Qin, years of war, the Han population has suffered heavy losses, and it is very beneficial to be replenished for the decisive battle with the Xiongnu in the future. ”

Su Ren was a little confused by Liu Shuang's words. As a modern man, he naturally knows how important population was in the Han Dynasty, which had a population of only a few tens of millions. But Liu Shuang is an ancient, and it is beyond Su Ren's imagination to have such insight. Judging from his previous contact with Liu Shuang, Liu Shuang did not have such a far-sighted vision, which means that Liu Shuang has a good strategist behind him.

Su Ren respectfully gave Liu Shuang a deep salute: "What the prince said is to whip into the inside, and the five bodies that are admired under the admiration are thrown to the ground, if everyone in the world is as smart as the prince, why worry that the Han can't get rid of the border troubles, drive away the Huns, and return a peaceful and prosperous world?" ”

Liu Shuang was a little proud, and glanced at Wei Qing who was standing beside Liu Ci. This small action was captured by Su Ren again, and Su Ren began to take interest in that Wei Qing.

Liu Ci was a little embarrassed by Su Ren and Liu Shuang's face, and smiled awkwardly: "My shallow knowledge made Su Zhonglang smile, who in the world doesn't know that Su Zhonglang is the first smart person, but the construction of the barracks is the opinion of this king, my Hengshan State Barracks is in disrepair, the general has mentioned it many times, this is the choice of Jianghuai land, this king is also very difficult, and please Su Zhonglang be more considerate." ”

Su Ren pretended to be surprised: "Listen to the king's meaning, is this matter really from the king's hand?" ”

Liu Shuang immediately said: "Father, how can you do this? The affairs of a country are small, but the affairs of the world are big, and when a child says something unpleasant, the father is confused! ”

"Bastard, how can you say that about your father?" Liu Ci glared at Liu Shuang fiercely.

Liu Shuang didn't shut up obediently: "My father did something wrong, I should correct it, and now things can be reversed, the child implores my father to take back his life and share the worries of the world and His Majesty!" After Liu Shuang finished speaking, he fell to the ground.

Liu Ci wanted to scold, but with Su Ren, an outsider, there was no scolding when he opened his mouth: "Hey! The king's order has been issued and cannot be changed, and I hope Su Zhonglang will be more considerate. ”

Su Ren sighed: "Hey! It seems that the king has made up his mind, the prince said so, the king still has not changed his mind, I remind the king, there are still tens of thousands of Yue people in Jianghuai, they have reclaimed wasteland for several months, some have planted crops, if the king wants to forcibly expropriate, he should arrange Zhou Xiang, so as not to have civil unrest. ”

Liu Ci's face immediately darkened: "Are you threatening me?" ”

"Don't dare, it's just a reminder, it's not early, say goodbye!" Su Ren got up, arched his hand at Liu Ci, and went out.

Su Ren left, and Liu Shuang had no intention of continuing to stay. With a smile on his face, he swaggered out the door. Liu Ci finally understood that his son was purely here to find trouble. Seeing Liu Shuang's appearance, he couldn't wait to kill him with a sword.

Han Yan turned out from behind the screen and looked at the door of the black hole: "This Su Ren, it seems that there is nothing to be done, as long as the king is determined to recapture the land of Jianghuai, he Su Ren has no choice." ”

"Humph! Didn't you hear that he was going to incite the Yue people to make trouble? ”

Han Yan smiled: "What can tens of thousands of Yue people do?" The king has soldiers in his hands, who dares to make trouble, kill! ”

Wei Qing hurriedly said: "Absolutely not, the Yue people are treacherous and aggressive, if they really fight, the land of Jianghuai is not far from Lu'an, in case the Yue people hit Lu'an, how can the king explain to the imperial court?" Besides, with Su Ren in the way, he will definitely support the Yue people, and at that time, my Hengshan country will fall into war, and the emperor will have an excuse. ”

"Afraid of what? I don't believe that Su Ren dared to really instigate the rebellion of the Yue people, and I don't go to His Majesty to sue him! ”

Liu Ci felt ridiculous about this sentence, and shook his head: "That's it, Su Ren did everything he could to do things that didn't achieve his goal, if he really forced the Yue people to rebel, even if the court didn't blame him, what else would be left in Hengshan Kingdom?" Tomorrow, it will be ordered that the land of Jianghuai will be left to the Yue people, and it is better to have more than one thing. After Liu Ci finished speaking, he walked decadently to the back house. Han Yan shouted several times in a row, but Liu Cili ignored it.

Wei Qing sent Liu Ci away, glanced at Han Yan, sneered a few times, and left the lobby, leaving only Han Yan's lonely figure.
