Liu Yuan couldn't see the full case, picked up one, only glanced at it, and threw it lightly on the desk.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go out for a walk!" Seeing that Liu Yuan was in a bad mood, Zhang Rang couldn't help but propose. Whenever Liu Yuan is irritable and depressed, he likes to go around.

"I'm old, I can't walk anymore!" Liu Yuan's voice was cold, and he replied casually. Stretching his waist, he almost flashed his waist.

The sound of "hiss" startled Zhang Rang, and he hurriedly knelt behind Liu Yuan and pinched him a few times.

After a long time, this Jean's craftsmanship is good. Turning his head to look at him: "You old arms and legs, but you are tough, you stand every day, but you don't see tired!" ”

"Waiting for Your Majesty, the slaves have never felt tired!" The smile on Zhang Rang's face turned into a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Liu Heng, the king of Chen, has made meritorious contributions in battle, added 300 households to eat, and sent ten eunuchs and maids from the palace to serve in the palace, and the palace guards expanded to 500 people." Sighing, Liu Yuan issued an edict and said that he would reward Liu Heng.

After a pause, he said: "I am also the left squire of the military department, assist Shang Shu Lanli, and the military department!" ”

"Zhang Rang!" Liu Yuan muttered: "You said that I am too harsh on Yuan Heng?" ”

Liu Yuan's sudden question, how dare Zhang Rang answer it head-on, and answer the left and right: "His Royal Highness King Chen, heroic and courageous, Ji people have their own natural ......"

"That's it!" Liu Yuan waved his hand and said lightly: "I won't embarrass you!" ”

After thinking about it again, he ordered: "You personally pick some treasures and send them to King Chen's mansion, send a medical officer out of the palace, and stay in the palace for a long time until King Chen recovers from his injuries!" ”

"Slave will do it! Your Majesty really loves His Royal Highness King Chen! Zhang Ranglian bent down a few times.

Concubine was named a virtuous concubine, in her hall, Liu Heng stayed for two hours, patiently accompanied her mother to greet her, once the concubine's chatter, now in Liu Heng's ears, but it is so warm.

Chen Wangfu is close to the palace city, the car goes north, two or three miles of road, into a square, the most magnificent and majestic mansion in the house, is where Liu Heng's palace is located.

"It's finally back!" Looking at the tall plaque, Liu Heng whispered. This mansion, after he was sixteen years old and crowned, was rewarded to him by Liu Yuan, in fact, he had not lived in this mansion for a long time, but at this time, Liu Heng couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy.

With the support of the guards, Cheng Gongying and Wang Shuang, who were waiting in front of the gate of the palace, immediately greeted them.

"Your Highness!"

Looking at Liu Heng's injured leg, Wang Shuang's eyes were a little red: "His Royal Highness should take me there!" ”

Seeing Wang Shuang's appearance, Liu Heng smiled: "Longxi Hu'er, why do you act like such a little daughter!" ”

"Go home!"

Wang Shuang immediately stepped forward and personally helped Liu Heng to step up the stairs and enter the house through the high gate. Cheng Gongying looked at the master and servant, with some relief in his eyes, Liu Heng seemed to have grown a lot after this difficulty. But thinking of his injury, his expression was a little solemn.

Cheng Gongying naturally knew Liu Heng's thoughts, and he had been loyal to him for all these years, but as for Han Sui back then, it was almost diluted in his heart.

"Haha!" In King Zhou's mansion, Liu Jue was excited: "In this way, Brother Chen, who is lonely, this leg is seriously injured and disabled!" ”

Liu Heng's injury is not difficult to find, and after receiving the news, Liu Heng is obviously a little gloating.

"King Chen's leg is crippled, how can he compete with His Royal Highness for the crown. How can the position of a great country be coveted by those who are physically deficient? The person below, his eyebrows fluttering, said to Liu Jue in front of Liu Jue's staff: "Congratulations to Your Highness!" ”

That was Yang Ding, who was picked up by Liu Yuan before, returned to Chang'an to drill the camp, and with a little influence and connections in the "Dong family" forces in the Xia Kingdom, he reluctantly entered Liu Yuan's eyes and was admitted to the palace.

glanced at Yang Ding with disdain, Yang Fu's expression was not as excited as the people present, and he couldn't help but say to Liu Jue: "Your Highness, King Chen, with the respect of a prince, fought for the country and returned with an injury, which is really admirable." Up and down Chang'an, there are countless people who admire it. Moreover, he is the eldest brother of His Royal Highness, even if it is based on brotherly affection, His Highness should not be so happy! ”

"Yishan's words are reasonable!" Listening to Yang Fu's persuasion, the smile on Liu Jue's face slowly disappeared, and he saluted: "This matter is lonely Menglang!" ”

Liu Jue is a little in line with Yang Fu's heart, that is, to admonish.

"Did you hear that, Chen Wangnai is the eldest brother, he was injured for the country, you should be careful and admire!" Liu Jue swept around the hall and paused on Yang Ding.

The atmosphere, which was originally quite active, suddenly cooled down. This made Yang Ding a little different from inside and out, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Yang Fu. was a good flattery, but it was disturbed by this person.

"Your Highness, it's really lively!" Yang Xiu and Fu De entered together, Yang Xiu was in front, and he was full of spirit, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Uncle! Dezu! Seeing the visitor, Liu Jue personally got up to greet him: "Come, take a seat!" ”

Liu Jue's princess is Fu Shou, and whether Fu Shi wants to or not, he has to support Liu Jue. As for Yang Xiu, it was just his own choice, looking at Liu Jue's eyes, sometimes close.

After looking around in the hall, except for the scholars recruited by Liu Jue, they were all the children of the nobles of the Xia Kingdom, and there were many Han and Hu second generations.

"As the rumors were!" Yang Xiu smiled faintly: "Your Highness is really full of talents here!" ”

Yang Xiu's performance was full of arrogance, and he seemed to look down on everyone present. Of the people present, who is not pretentious, many people also show disdain for Yang Xiu's invisible pretense.

"There is Dezu coming to the house, and I am not very happy!" Liu Jue was very calm: "Now Dezu is a scholar of the Middle School, and he is on the fifth grade, which is quite favored by His Majesty, and his future is immeasurable!" ”

Liu Jue's words touched Yang Xiu's pride, and he quickly reined in and looked at Liu Jue: "This time, the minister is only here to inform His Highness of one thing!" ”

As he spoke, he told Liu Yuan about the reward that Liu Yuan gave to Liu Heng.

"A small reward is not enough!" Hearing this, Liu Jue's face sank: "The left squire of the military department, the palace guard!" What does this mean, father! ”

Liu Jue felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

"Your Highness should come to visit King Chen!" Yang Fu raised his hand and whispered to Liu Jue.

"That's right! Not bad! Liu Jue nodded twice: "Order someone to prepare a generous gift, tomorrow alone, personally visit Chen Wangfu!" ”

"Ford, see the princess!" In the backyard of the Zhou Palace, Fu De saluted Fu Shou. Since you have come to this palace, you naturally want to meet your sister.

"Big brother, hurry up and excuse me!" Seeing his brother coming, Fu Shou was obviously very happy and ordered him to sit down and talk.

Fu De held a salute and looked at Fu Shou, now he has long faded away from the youthfulness of the year, his graceful and luxurious appearance, and his demeanor is dignified.

Looking at her bulging belly, Volde had a smile on his face: "It's almost labor!" ”

After following Liu Jue for several years, Fu Shou finally became pregnant. Hearing this, his face exuded the brilliance of motherhood, stroked his belly, and replied softly: "Pregnant for nine months, it's almost over!" ”

"The princess needs to take care of her health, this may be His Majesty's eldest grandson!" Volde means something.

Fu Shou didn't care about the slight expectation in Fu De's eyes: "Even if I give birth to a little princess, I am also satisfied." ”

"Don't say this to King Zhou!"

"My sister knows!" Fu Shou buried her head, she knew in her heart that Liu Jue was looking forward to giving him a prince.

......

On the second day of the Great Dynasty, Liu Yuan discussed politics in Weiyang Palace, praised Liu Heng again, and the reputation of King Chen became even louder. Many people feel that His Royal Highness King Chen's holy family is unsurpassed, and the princes are unsurpassed, so maybe it should be expressed.

After the next dynasty, Chen's palace became lively, and many people spontaneously went to visit them. Liu Heng's injury spread the same.

Liu Jue saw the hustle and bustle of King Chen's Mansion, and many people came to the door with gifts, but most of them were turned away, not just a seven-rank petty official could enter King Chen's Mansion.

For these people, Liu Heng had no intention of receiving them, although Liu Yuan's various rewards soothed his heart, but his mood was really bad. Don't look at him in front of Liu Yuan, he behaved so open-mindedly in front of everyone, but in fact, as soon as he saw the stump leg, his heart was full of anger.

"Your Highness, King Zhou has come to the door!" The people of the palace whispered to Liu Heng.

"Liu Jue, hum!" The corners of Liu Heng's mouth sneered.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou has arrived!" Just as he was about to command, there was already a call for a servant outside the mansion.

Soon, Liu Jue's face was full of spring breeze, and outside the hall, his figure could be seen from a distance. Before Liu Jue could enter the door, someone shouted behind him: "His Royal Highness King Zheng has arrived with the princess!" ”

"These two are quite coincidental!" Liu Heng tilted his head and whispered to Cheng Gongying.

Liu Jue was in front, Liu Cheng and Princess Wei were behind, and they entered the hall together, full of aura and limelight. Liu Jue quietly looked at everyone present, Liang Xing, Yang Qiu and other Liu Heng's trusted generals, Liu Gui, the general who fought with Liu Heng and cultivated friendship, all came, and there were some junior colonels in the army. A thick jealousy flashed in his eyes, this Liu Heng is in the army, is the influence too great.

Offering generous gifts, the three princes got together, this atmosphere was really difficult to let go, Liu Heng reacted indifferently to the two, and it didn't take long for the banquet to disperse.

In Liu Heng's study, Princess Xi personally helped him to stay, visited his injured leg, and exited the room under the signal of his eyes. Liu Jue and Liu Cheng are both Han women, and Liu Heng is a concubine who selected a daughter with good appearance and quality from the Xiongnu clan Xi for him.

"Next, Lone will stay in Chang'an for a long time, and for you, Lone plans to arrange it. If you are lonely, you will not be left by your side, and you will do nothing! Below, Cheng Gongying, Liang Xing, and some middle- and lower-level officers waited respectfully.

Hearing this, they looked at each other a few times, and waited for Liu Heng to smell it.

"Or go to the border to lead the army, or go out of the county as a school, lieutenant, Liang, and, Yun, and even Monan, how to choose, you can weigh it separately." Liu Heng said lightly: "With the Gudong invasion of Wei and Chu soldiers, Your Majesty has issued an edict, all of them have been promoted to three levels, and the military department has already filed a record. ”

There was joy in their eyes, they had been back to Beijing for so long, and there was no news about this reward, and they had some relatives in their hearts. Now listening to Liu Heng's words, I can't help but feel at ease.

Although they didn't know what Liu Heng's plans were, Liang Xing and the others still chose their favorite places.

"Ziquan, you have been following Gu for a few years, and you have been acting as a guard, do you have the heart to go out and lead the troops?" looked at Wang Shuang.

Wang Shuang knelt down directly: "Minister, I am willing to protect His Highness!" That's enough! ”

Very determined, Wang Shuang was reluctant to leave.

"Where's the gentleman?" looked at Cheng Gongying again: "With Mr.'s talent, it is more than enough to govern a county and a state, but do you have the heart to let it go?" Although Lone can't be the master, he is willing to invite him for Mr. ”

Cheng Gongying shook his head and chuckled: "Has Your Highness ever forgotten that it was His Highness who was descending, not Great Xia. ”

Liu Heng chuckled lightly and said no more.

After everyone else retired, Cheng Gongying stayed, sat on a stool, and looked at Liu Heng: "Your Highness's talent arrangement, send your henchmen out, and scatter all the available people around you!" The intention is quite profound! ”

Liu Heng leaned on the pillow and said quietly: "Last year, my father asked Gu about Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yi, and Yang Qiu's 'four strong generals'. Over the years, cultivating power in the army has gone too far. This time, the light cavalry disturbed Wei Chu, and he returned from a hundred battles, and the army was even more powerful. The father and emperor entered the military department as a lonely, which seemed to be important, but it made Lone feel frightened! ”

Cheng Gongying is a smart person, he understood what Liu Heng meant, and nodded indifferently.

"As for today's banquet, there are so many rotating generals who come to the school and reach the ears of his father, what will he think?" Liu Heng said in a condensed voice.

Liu Heng took out a dagger from the side of the couch and pulled it out, his eyes were deep, staring at the shining dagger, and slowly returned to the sheath: "It's time to rein in the edge!" ”

......

In Liu Cheng's Zheng Wang's mansion, Liu Cheng was carefully reading letters from Du Ji and Tuoba Liwei, Du Yi went to Yanmen at the end of the year to serve as Taishou, and Tuoba Liwei went to Yunzhou as a general. Liu Cheng's subordinates, these two people, are now the most powerful.

On the side of the case, there were two young people, Wei Kang, the son of Liangzhou Thorn Shi Weiduan, and Fa Zheng, the son of Fa Yan, the right attendant of the Criminal Department. As Liu Cheng's brother-in-law, it is normal for Wei Kang to be close to Liu Cheng. As for Fazheng, when he met in Fang City, he became irreversible.

"Compared with King Chen and King Zhou, the two royal brothers, there are people on the side, and the lonely side is indeed deserted!" Putting down the letter, Liu Cheng chuckled.

"King Zhou's side is mixed with dragons and snakes, King Chen's edge is exposed, you need to know that it is too late, so gathering people for the party will be jealous, and it will be difficult to last!" Wei Kang saw that Liu Cheng's mood seemed to be a little low, and he couldn't help but speak.

Liu Cheng's expression was inexplicable, and his brows furrowed: "As soon as King Chen returns to Beijing, his father will appoint him as the left attendant of the military department, and then he can show his strength." And Lonely, although he assisted his father in handling government affairs, he still has an empty prince and no position, and he feels quite bored. ”

"See you below, it won't be long before Your Majesty's appointment to His Royal Highness and King Zhou will come down!" At this time, Fa Zheng said confidently: "Your Highness just needs to wait, you need to know that this battle for the storage position has just begun!" ”

......

Yang Xiu returned to the house at night, and when he entered the door, he learned the news that Yang Biao had come to the door.

"What is the matter with my father's house?" He asked.

Yang Biao stared at Yang Xiu, his face sank like water, he paused for a long time, and said coldly: "You and King Zhou, you are too close!" ”

Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then regained his indifference: "It's just a gentleman's friend, father doesn't have to worry!" ”

"You don't play with fire!" Yang Biao's beard shook: "The emperor's sons, either dragons or tigers, fight up, be careful of hurting yourself!" ”

This son, who is smart and smart, often serves the king, but over the years, he has become more and more thoughtful. Although the spring breeze is proud now, Yang Biao always has a sense of palpitation in his heart.
