When the servant reached Liu An's ears, Liu An was discussing things with Zuo Wu and Wu Shu. Now that the civil unrest has started, how to proceed next depends on what Liu An should do. The imperial court has already been wary of Liu An, otherwise it would not have sent any angels to come, so whether Liu An will do it in advance or endure it for a while needs to be carefully considered.

"Smack!" He threw the bowl of water in his hand to the ground, and the broken bowl was scattered, and the servant was so frightened that he lay on the ground and didn't dare to move. Liu An glared: "Did he really say that?" ”

"Yes, the villain didn't say a word."

"Hmph, who does he think he is? Is it more powerful than the little emperor in Chang'an? Threaten this king, does he think that this king will not dare to do anything to him? ”

"The king is angry, Su Ren has always been scheming, so he must have his intentions to provoke the king so much." Zuo Wu hurriedly said: "Since Su Ren dares to say this, it seems that our guess is right, the mastermind behind the civil unrest is Su Ren, and the king can report to the court, just say that Su Ren instigated the people to make trouble in Shouchun, and let the court deal with him." ”

Wu was nodded: "Now the imperial court has been wary of my Huainan Kingdom, if the king will punish Su Ren at this time, no matter what the crime is, the imperial court will think that it is fabricated by the king, which is not good for our Huainan country, and the king must not spoil a big thing for a Su Ren." ”

Liu An let out a long breath, closed his eyes and eased for a long time, and waved his hand to signal the servant to go down: "Since this Su Ren came to Shouchun, Duoduo has opposed this king, so he should be sent away, so as not to cause another incident." ”

"I'm afraid not now!" Zuo Wu said: "It's still the same sentence, the imperial court has been wary of our Huainan country, and this Su Ren is the emperor's henchman, staying in Huainan is also a layer of insurance, if the emperor is really concerned about Su Ren's safety, he will not dare to rashly send troops over, if Su Ren is let go, the emperor has no worries and may send a large army at any time, and we are not ready, once there is a change, it will be difficult to deal with it." ”

"This Su Ren has become a scourge that can't be shaken off and can't be kept?"

"For today's plan, I can only keep it first, the subordinate has already sent people to monitor day and night, presumably he can't do anything, he can only say those words."

"That's it, let's not talk about him, let's talk about angels, shall we? The news just sent that Lieutenant Duan Hong has passed through Yingchuan and will be able to arrive in Shouchun in three or five days, why is the purpose of this person's coming unclear, how to deal with it, do you have a countermeasure? ”

Zuo Wu smiled: "Lieutenant Duan Hong's ministers do understand, this person is benevolent, and his actions are known for being steady, but he is just an insignificant person, and the king doesn't have to worry, when he arrives in Huainan, everything will naturally be clear." ”

Liu An nodded: "That's good, if it is a trouble to send a die-hard faction, if this Duan Hong is modest, this king should treat him well." ”

"No!" Wu was hurriedly said: "By all means, although Duan Hong is modest, he is very close to Ji Dark, the two are both fellow villagers and have a good relationship, there are some similarities, the king can only see him as an angel, and he can't do anything else, lest this person report to the court after he goes back, but it makes the court feel that the king has ulterior motives, which is not beautiful." ”

"Don't worry, the king, the subordinates will also pay attention to this Duan Hong, if this person is available, he will be wooed, if he is not available, he will not say much." Zuo Wu took the opportunity to offer a plan and take the matter on himself.

Liu An smiled: "This is a way, then there is labor to be a Zhonglang." ”

"It is the minister's duty to share the king's worries, so why do you have to say it? Tomorrow, the ministers will go to the bank of the Huai River to wait for the angels. ”

"Okay, Zuo Zhonglang personally went out, this king can rest assured."

Liu An waved his hand, signaling that Zuo Wu and Wu were allowed to leave, Zuo Wu got up to say goodbye, but Wu was sitting and did not move. Liu An was surprised: "Wu Zhonglang is still in trouble?" ”

"The king forgot Su Ren's words, the angel of the court is coming to my Huainan, when the time comes, if Su Ren really agitates the people again and crashes into the angel's car, the king's face is not good-looking, if this matter is returned to the court, it is even more inappropriate, and please let the king release Liu Jian's little son, so as not to cause any trouble."

"He dares!" Liu An was furious: "He still can't be justified in inciting civil unrest, this king has already been gracious if he doesn't cure his crimes, and he wants to use this to blackmail this king, is it possible that in the future, everyone will use this method to blackmail everything that this king does not agree to?" ”

"King, think twice about this matter, as far as the ministers know, since the big family of Shouchun left, the prince sent people to buy a large number of the properties left by those people, and the land rent did not decrease but increased, the peasants could not make a living, and the wages of the workshop were not enough to feed the family, so they became beggars and gave Su Ren a chance, if there were no things that the prince did, even if Su Ren was clever and talkative, the people would not listen to him, and the root cause was in the son!"

"Hmm!" Liu An grimaced and snorted. is the so-called knowing son Mo Ruo's father, what is the temperament of Liu An's sons, Liu An's heart knows best. But Liu Qian is different, he is not only the son, but also his own son-in-law, he has been spoiled by him and the queen since he was a child, and it is not strange that he has become what he is now. But Liu An knew that although Liu Qian had many disadvantages, he was very filial to his father, at least he would not commit the act of killing his father and seizing the throne.

Wu Bei's words did not cause Liu An's further performance, and he wanted to say more, but was stopped by Zuo Wu. Without waiting for Wu to be said again, Zuo Wu said: "The root of this matter is Su Ren, what does it have to do with the son?" ”

Liu An waved his hand: "Go, let the prince let Jian'er go, how can I say that he is also the descendant of this king, not to mention that he is just suffering for others." ”

Zuo Wu let out a sigh of relief, hurriedly agreed, and pulled Wu Shu to walk out of the door. Out of the gate of the palace, Wu was flicked his sleeves and shook Zuo Wu's hand off: "Zuo Zhonglang, what a good opportunity this is, not only to appease the people of Shouchun, but also to ......"

Zuo Wu stopped, looked at Wu and said with a smile: "Why is Wu Zhonglang so pedantic? Can the status of the prince be brought down by just one word from you? ”

"I don't want to move to the prince, I just want to have some suspicion of the prince in the king's heart."

Zuo Wu shook his head: "You still don't know our king, do you think that the king really doesn't know anything about what the prince has done all these years?" Hehe, then you are too underestimate our king, why didn't the king say it, you can think about it. ”

"Why? Isn't it just an estimate of the relationship between father and son? In the face of great rights and wrongs, what good can the future Huainan Kingdom do in the hands of such a person? ”

"Hey!" Zuo Wu sighed: "In the past three years, the number of the king's private soldiers has increased from five hundred to three thousand, and they are well-armed, which is indispensable to the prince, and the prince has not arranged for a person to enter the king's private army, no matter how much you say about this, the king will not be suspicious of the prince." ”

"Really?"

Zuo Wu smiled, turned around and got into his carriage. Wu was stunned for a long time by standing on the side of the road, letting the northwest wind blow his robe and clothes into his body, and his whole body felt cold. It is said that Liu Qian loves money and will do anything for money, but the money he got finally ran into Liu An's pocket, and he used the money to organize a private army of 3,000 people.

Wu was reminded of Duan Hong, the envoy lieutenant sent by the imperial court, and he finally understood why the imperial court would send a lieutenant to Huainan, most likely for the purpose of inspecting the armament of Huainan Kingdom. After hesitating for a long time, Wu was stomped and turned around and entered the palace again, he had to clarify this matter with Liu An, so as not to make a mistake.

Duan Hong, a native of Puyang, was first the disciple of the Queen Mother's brother Gai Wang Xin. has always been unknown, I have never heard of him any outstanding things, and I don't know what shit luck he bumped into, he was appreciated by the imperial court overnight, and became a lieutenant in Jiuqing, in charge of the forbidden army and responsible for the safety of Chang'an, holding tens of thousands of forbidden troops, which can be described as a step to the sky.

This time he was ordered to come to Huainan to announce that it was recommended by Prime Minister Dou Ying, which Duan Hong knew very well. When leaving Chang'an, the new Hu Ben Zhonglang specially invited Duan Hong to a banquet, and expressed his appreciation for Su Ren very bluntly during the banquet, and at the same time patted Duan Hong's back with a smile and said: "If you are in trouble, you can find Su Ren, this kid, there is nothing in the world that he can't do, and there is nothing he doesn't dare to do." ”

What kind of person is Bushman, Duan Hong still understands something, he is just a reckless man, but the person behind Bushman can't help but make Duan Hong think more. The bushman and the prime minister Dou Ying walked very closely, and the Su Ren that the bush said was even more amazing, and it was said that he could enter and leave the emperor's study at will in the palace. When he came out of Chang'an, he was pondering, pondering the meaning of the emperor sending him to Huainan, and also pondering the person Su Ren.

Gently opened the curtain of the car, poked his head out and looked out, and it was already green. Unlike the sluggish winter in the north, the winter in the south is much more vibrant, with more green in the woods, and even a few wildflowers on the roadside that cannot be named. Under the beautiful mountains and rivers, people's mood can't help but get better.

"Where is this? How far is it from Huainan? ”

The captain who escorted the car hurriedly said: "Lieutenant, this place belongs to the boundary of Runan, and you can see the Huai River in two days, and you can reach Shouchun in one day by boat." ”

"After crossing the Huai River, it is the boundary of Huainan, right?"

The lieutenant smiled and nodded: "Exactly." ”

"Okay, let's go down the boat when we get to the Huai River, and let's cross the river and take the land route."

"This? Lieutenant, that's not what we planned! ”

Duan Hong said with a smile: "This time we went to Huainan is not just as simple as passing the decree, taking the land route can see the situation in Huainan more clearly, so that we can report back to Your Majesty, no need to question, do as I say." ”

The lieutenant didn't dare to contradict it, and hurriedly agreed. The angel's team naturally has the grandeur of the imperial court, and he Duan Hong is not Su Ren, so it is impossible to put away all the honor guards on a horse and run all the way. In Duan Hong's eyes, he is an angel, which means the Son of Heaven, and every word and deed must be strictly in accordance with the etiquette system of the imperial court, and there can be no lack at all. The pennant and the guard of honor opened the way in front, Duan Hong was sitting in the car, and there was no offense with the officials and the people everywhere he passed, and even the people who were in a hurry would give way, which made the people along the way very moved, and they burned incense and bowed to Chang'an, thanking the emperor for choosing a good official.
