Lan Zhi, Wang Rou, Wang Ze, Helan Dangfu, Wu Yue, Zhao Xi, Li Ru, Jia Xu and other ministers, including Liu Heng, Liu Jue, Liu Cheng, and Liu Rui, gathered in the Xuanshu Palace. Liu Yuan originally didn't mean to call Liu Cheng, but with such a big movement in the Xuan room, Liu Cheng took the initiative to ask to see him.

Glancing at the most powerful person in Great Xia, Liu Yuan didn't talk nonsense, and directly said his thoughts. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone below was amazed that Liu Yuan wanted to play one by one. For a while, they were silent, and they were silently thinking in their hearts.

"Lan Zhi, what do you think?" Let them digest it for a while, Liu Yuan asked.

"Your Majesty, is such a movement too big, affecting almost half of the ministers, generals, and soldiers in Great Xia, do you want to think about it again?" Lan Zhi is still an old man, and it is estimated that he is getting older and older, and his mind has been solidified. Liu Yuan has any radical movements, Lan Zhi is generally conservative, and he has been used to it over the years.

Seeing that Liu Yuan's face was not moved in the slightest, Lan Zhi sighed slightly in his heart, and continued to express his thoughts: "Although the four realms of Great Xia are peaceful now, I can't tell if another war will break out one day......

"That's it!" Liu Yuan immediately interrupted Lan Zhi: "I don't want to do it overnight, one city, one county, one state is adjusted, what kind of chaos can happen?" ”

According to Liu Yuan's thoughts, he also wanted to take the opportunity to test the operation and execution ability of the various government offices of the central organs of the Great Xia Imperial Court, after all, such a large-scale transfer requires the participation and cooperation of many yamen, and it is not something that can be done by one class.

"Yuan Xiang, what do you think about this matter?" Liu Yuan suddenly asked Liu Ruidao.

Liu Rui, who has been honestly an observer, was stunned when he heard Liu Yuan's question, all the kings and princes present, Liu Yuan wanted to ask why it was not his turn. Suppressing a little panic in his heart, Liu Rui said to Liu Yuan respectfully: "The son listens to his father. ”

Liu Yuan frowned slightly, then smiled lightly and motioned for him to retreat. looked at Liu Heng again.

"Erchen thinks that it still needs to be considered." Liu Heng replied expressionlessly.

"Erchen thinks it's feasible!" Liu Yu took the initiative to say to Liu Yuan, with an affirmative smile on his lips: "If you do it slowly, it will be fine." Father's move is like sorting out the meridians of my Great Xia, which is of great benefit to the stability of my Great Xia! ”

Liu Cheng lowered his head slightly and said a few words softly: "Erchen thinks it's feasible!" ”

"Since there are no opinions, then the matter is decided!" Liu Yuan's body has been staring at his subordinates: "Shuyou, Ji Dao, Wen You, Wen and you will discuss a charter as soon as possible, and the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War will fully assist!" ”

"No!" The others smiled bitterly, Liu Yuan had already made up his mind very strongly, what else could they say. Besides, this move is indeed a matter for the benefit of the country and the central court.

Liu Yuan showed a satisfied look at this time, and summoned the ministers to discuss, but in fact, this kind of thing that Liu Yuan was determined to do was always determined by him. This time, Lan Zhi's faint opposition was directly ignored by him, and as for the other central ministers, even the action of inquiring was omitted.

When they retired, everyone's expressions were different. Liu Yu always had a warm smile on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood. He saw an opportunity in it, and with such a big adjustment of soldiers and personnel in the country, he could take the opportunity to install some of his own people.

Of course, he is not the only one who sees this. For example, Liu Cheng.

......

I stayed in the Xuan Room for another afternoon, at dusk and sunset, the dusk light covered the palace city of Chang'an, rendering those magnificent courts extremely beautiful. Stretching his waist, Liu Yuan stepped out of the hall and blew the evening breeze, and the exhaustion of his body seemed to have decreased a lot.

The doors and windows of the main hall behind him slowly closed, making a dull squeak, Liu Yuan stood on the flat ground in front of the hall, looking at the scene in the palace, and felt relaxed and comfortable.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Bian sent someone to ask, can you stay at Concubine Shu's place tonight?" Zhang Rang stood behind Liu Yuan's side and spoke for the Bian family.

"Oh?" Liu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Bian has been with Liu Yuan for more than 20 years, and he has always been peaceful, does not compete for favor, serves wholeheartedly, and has children, which has never made Liu Yuan feel bored. In the past, when I was depressed, I also went to Bian's to seek "comfort".

This unprecedented sending someone to invite Liu Yuan really surprised Liu Yuan. It is estimated that there is something, Liu Yuan thought of it like this, and he didn't think much about it: "Send someone to reply, I will go later!" ”

"The slaves obey!"

On Bian's side, Liu Yuan can always enjoy that comforting peace, and this time is the same.

Bian personally prepared a case meal, which was not extravagant, and even a little light, but it was quite suitable for Liu Yuan's appetite. As he grew older, he became more and more unable to exert his strength, and when he was sick, Liu Yuan began to cultivate his body, unlike the big fish and meat in the past, and the taste became lighter.

"Your Majesty, please!" Bian smiled gently at Liu Yuan and served him a small bowl of soup.

"It tastes good!" After tasting a few bites, Liu Yuan turned his head to look at Bian.

Bian was obviously dressed up tonight, painted in a light dress, and his cheeks were slightly coated with grease powder. It's just that at this age, it's hard to survive early, and the obvious crow's feet at the corners of the eyes and the slightly drooping chest betray the owner's age.

Bian's age seems to be older than himself, and now he seems to be in his early forties, Liu Yuan said secretly in his heart. Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that the Bian family was over forty years old, and it seemed that he had never done it.

Looking at Bian's fading face, Liu Yuan felt some pity in his heart. Facing Liu Yuan's gaze, Bian couldn't help but tap his cheek: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

"We're all old!" Liu Yuan confided in Bian with a true temperament. You must know that before, although Liu Yuan often told people that he was old, he was a little disapproving.

got up and knelt down behind Liu Yuan, and Bian gently cut his haircut: "Your Majesty, you also have to take care of your dragon body!" Don't overwork! ”

Bian's hands caressed Liu Yuan's temples, which had completely turned gray-white, and the warmth was transmitted to Liu Yuan's nerves through his fingers.

"I understand, it's just that the state affairs are heavy, and I can't be idle!" He patted Bian's hand twice, closed his eyes, and leaned his back in his arms: "Yuan Jue was placed in the barren land of Modong by me, thousands of miles away, is it strange to me?" ”

At the mention of Liu Qi, Bian was obviously touched, and there was some sentimentality in his tone: "After all, Yuan Jue is twenty-eight years old, far away from his parents and brothers and sisters, alone in Modong, and his concubines ...... Concubine ......"

Speaking of this, Bian directly choked up.

Liu Yuan was silent, and the more he felt that he owed something to the Bian family, and the entire harem, after counting it, only the Bian family made him have this kind of emotion.

"In this way, how about I let Yuan Qi send Liu Yao to the palace and be raised by you personally? And so that you will not be alone! Liu Yuan suddenly had such an idea.

"Nope." Bian shook his head directly: "How can a concubine take the son of a daughter-in-law and comfort herself!" ”

Liu Yuan also mentioned it casually, and after thinking about it a little, he also felt that his thoughts were a bit "excessive".

"That's right! What did you do today when you took the initiative to send someone to call me? Leaning down and lying on Bian's lap, Liu Yuan asked softly.

Seeing that Liu Yuan took the initiative to ask, Bian's face had a kind smile: "Shu'er and Lu Ye are already years old, and now they are also big girls, shouldn't they consider her marriage." Aya'er Fang and Lu are also at the age of marriage, but Shu'er is the eldest daughter. Concubine Lan had mentioned to her concubines before that Shu'er's age was really not good to drag on any longer. ”

When Liu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but open his eyes and looked at Bian.

Liu Shu, this time, he has reached the age of marriage. A strange thought surged in his heart, Liu Shu was his most cherished princess, and when he suddenly heard Bian's mention of this, Liu Yuan's first reaction was to feel repulsed by this.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Yuan asked, "Shu'er is still young, is it too early." ”

"The concubine knows that His Majesty is reluctant to relieve her son, but as the eldest sister, how can she hinder her younger sister. Moreover, according to Xia Lu, a woman is fifteen and married, and Shu'er, as a royal princess, should set an example! Bian said so gently.

"This ......," Liu Yuan said.

I know in my heart that Bian is right, when he is old, he should get married, and Liu Shu should not be an exception, even if he is Liu Yuan's favorite princess.

Bian also knows this, and the premise of Liu Shu's marriage is Liu Yuan's approval.

After being silent for a while, his eyes were in a trance, Liu Yuan sighed slightly, and looked at Bian's family: "Do you have a candidate in your heart?" ”

"Wu Cheng, the third son of Anyang Hou and Wuyue, the secretary of the military department, is the same age, a young man, both civil and military, what does Your Majesty think?" Bian said a name, and it seemed that he was prepared.

"Wu's son?" Liu Yuan's eyes froze, and he rubbed up from Bian's arms, which startled Bian's family.

"I know!" Liu Yuan's brows relaxed slightly, and he waved his hand: "I'm tired, go to bed!" ”

"Concubine Rong is dressed for Your Majesty!" Seeing this, Bian didn't say much about it, and stepped forward to wait for Liu Yuan to go to bed.

......

"Prepare to prepare, enter the palace with me tomorrow and meet Your Majesty!" In the Anyang Hou Mansion, Wu Yue was full of joy and instructed his third son, Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng is quite handsome and has an outstanding temperament, and he is also a little famous in the second generation of the Xia Kingdom. Hearing his father's words, he looked at Wuyue with some doubts.

Wu Lin, the second son of the Wu family, who was on the side, also looked at Wu Yue with a little curiosity: "Father, what's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty wants to choose a son-in-law, and you are interested in your younger brother, and I will order my father to take you into the palace!" Wu Yue chuckled.

"Choosing a son-in-law? Which princess is there? Wu Lin's eyes lit up, and he looked at the third brother Wu Cheng: "Is it the princess of Wannian?" ”

"That's right!" Wu Yue stared at Wu Cheng: "You have to behave well and marry a princess for my Wu family." Princess Wannian, but His Majesty's favorite princess! ”

"No!" Wu Cheng bowed calmly, and his face was also a little excited.

Liu Shu is known for his noble status, beautiful appearance, and pleasing personality, and many people admire him as the son of the second generation of courtiers of the Xia Kingdom. Especially Liu Yuan's love for her made the nobles flock to her.

Wu Cheng is naturally the same, at this time, this opportunity may fall on him, and Wu Cheng's heart will inevitably fluctuate.

Wu Yue took Wu Cheng into the palace, and let Liu Yuan and Bian Haosheng observe it, and after some conversation, it seemed that he was very satisfied.

Out of the forbidden palace, Wu Cheng let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead. It's not that he hasn't seen Liu Yuan before, but it's the first time he has faced Liu Yuan's sharp scrutiny like before, which makes him feel great pressure.

"Father, how's that?" A little uncertain, he asked Wuyue beside him.

Wu Yue stroked the gray stubble, and chuckled: "Shang Ke, this matter is basically decided, according to my father's estimate, your horse basically can't run away." My son of Wuyue, a talent, is more than enough to be a colt! ”

When Wu Cheng heard this, his expression relaxed, and his young face couldn't help but show a little shy expression.

"Father! Father! Liu Yuan lived on the throne, looking at the detailed book of Sanfu land clearance sent by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Liu Shu hurriedly broke in.

The white face was anxious, and the jade eyebrows were frowned, which was pitiful. Liu Yuan stood up and beckoned to him: "Shu'er, come, sit!" ”

"Shu'er, what is the matter with finding my father?" Seeing Liu Shu sitting next to him, Liu Yuan had a smile in his eyes. He estimated in his heart that this little girl had heard the wind.

"Father, don't you and your mother want me?" Not as emotional as Liu Yuan imagined, Liu Shu rarely leaned weakly on Liu Yuan and muttered.

"Wu Chengzhen has also seen it, he is indeed a good young man!" Liu Yuan tilted his head.

Liu Shu's expression was low for a while, and he tilted his head: "Father, my son doesn't want to marry!" ”

Liu Shu's reaction made Liu Yuan's heart inexplicably sour, he knew her temperament, and he had never seen her: "When you grow up, you will get married sooner or later, you can't stay by my side and your mother all the time!" ”

Liu Shu pressed against Liu Yuan's arm and shook his head vigorously. Liu Yuan felt that Liu Shu's mood was a little wrong, and he actually burst into tears and wet his clothes.

Liu Yuan looked at it, suddenly felt distressed, and stretched out his hand to wipe it from the corner of his eye: "What's wrong with my Shu'er, this is a happy event." ”

"Father, I don't want to marry that Wucheng!" Liu Shu was still soft, and his words were choked.

"Oh?" Liu Yuan straightened it out and made a joke: "It's not that you don't look down on Wu Cheng." This Manchu Dynasty has a lot of talents, or let them all gather together, let you pick slowly! ”

Liu Shu still shook his head, and there was a tear stain under his eyes.

Liu Yuan had a headache, Liu Shu's performance today was very different from the past, which made him feel pity in his heart.

"Isn't it, Shu'er has a favorite person?" Liu Yuan asked casually.

Liu Shuyan's eyes flashed differently when he heard this, and he really said softly: "Erchen really has a heart. ”

"Which son is in Chang'an City?" Liu Yuan's face was curious.

He was really interested.

Liu Shu raised his head, and finally showed a faint smile, his eyes were clear, and he looked at Liu Yuan fixedly.

His face was stunned, Liu Yuan was "frightened" by Liu Shu's eyes, and the Great Xia Emperor suddenly panicked in his heart and pushed Liu Shu away. The little girl's eyes made him understand something.

"In this world, there is no one else, who is the son of the minister!" When Liu Yuan was in a little trance, Liu Shu actually burst out, threw himself into Liu Yuan's arms, and kissed him on the face.

With a "snap", Liu Yuan directly slapped Liu Shu. Zhan stood up and glared at Liu Shu angrily: "Are you crazy?" ”

Liu Shu's eyes were very complicated, and he leaned on the side of the desk: "Father, do you still want me to marry someone else?" ”
