Chapter 11: Night Talk
"The second prince, the queen mother sent a message and asked the prince to accompany the queen mother to dinner in Yongle Palace. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Seeing Liu Xie leaving the Huaguang Palace, Fan Tong hurriedly stepped forward to serve.
"Okay, go directly to Yongle Palace." Liu Xie stepped on the footstool placed by the attendant, and then looked at the horses pulling the cart, "Fan Tong, do you know how to ride a horse?" ”
"Back to the second prince, the slave is rough in riding." Fan Tong bowed and said.
Liu Xie tapped the car body with his fingers, riding skills must be learned, and they must be practiced well, and ordered: "Go back to the servant Lord Yang, ask for a few good horses, this prince will ride a horse in the future, and the car is too slow." ”
"No!" The master has explained, and the slave has to do a good job.
"Grandma Huang, Xie'er is back." As soon as Liu Xie entered Yongle Palace, he shouted, Han Liu Xie was brought up by the Empress Dowager Dong, and that closeness was also inherited.
"Good grandson, are you hungry? You don't hurry up and serve the food, if you starve the good grandson of the mourning family, the mourning family will not be able to spare you. As soon as Empress Dowager Dong saw Liu Xie, she was very happy.
"Wow, Yangfang Tibetan fish, Wuhou mackerel, all of them are what grandchildren love to eat, thank you Grandma."
"Come, Grandma Huang has helped you pick out the fish bones, eat them quickly." Empress Dowager Dong personally picked out the fish bones and ordered someone to send them to Liu Xie.
"Thank you, Grandma Huang, your grandson can come by himself." Liu Xie was moved.
"Grandson, now is the time for you to grow your body, whatever you want to eat, let the people do anything, don't delay the growth of your body." Empress Dowager Dong is like an old lady in an ordinary family, and she has thousands of instructions.
"Grandma Huang, you have to take care of yourself, when your grandson has a son, you still expect Grandma Huang to bring you up." Empress Dowager Dong's words reminded Liu Xie that the physical aspect is a major matter, and he must lay a good foundation, and when he goes back, he will tell Xia Er that he must prepare more foods that can increase his physique and strength in the future, and he must lay a good physical foundation for changing his fate.
"Haha~, okay, grandma Huang is waiting to bring you her son, by the way, in a few days, you will be able to meet your little daughter-in-law." In the future, you will dislike the old woman of the imperial grandmother. Empress Dowager Dong smiled happily.
"Xie'er only needs the imperial grandmother, not a little daughter-in-law." Liu Xie immediately added a sentence in his heart: Just don't want it for the time being.
"If you don't want a daughter-in-law, how can you have a son? Grandma Huang is still waiting to bring you her son. Empress Dowager Dong's tears of laughter flowed out.
That's really not good, if there will be Dong Zhuo entering Beijing in the future, abolishing the young emperor and offering the emperor, in case Dong Zhuo messes up the harem, and then puts on a green hat of a certain color, thinking of this, Liu Xie's head is big.
He looked around and waved his hand, "You all go down." ”
Seeing Liu Xie's serious appearance, Empress Dowager Dong knew that he had something to say, so she said majestically: "Stand down." ”
The servant Fengzhen hurriedly waved to the maids and chamberlains, and only after everyone had retreated did he exit the main hall and gently close the palace door.
Liu Xie drank the last mouthful of soup, wiped the corners of his mouth, got up and came behind Empress Dowager Dong, gently rubbed her shoulders, and said, "Grandma Huang, my grandson knows that the purpose of arranging your marriage for me at this time is to increase the chances of winning the battle for the throne. ”
Empress Dowager Dong's eyes lit up: "Grandson is really smart, the imperial grandmother is just going to help you inherit the throne." ”
Liu Xie smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you for the importance of the imperial grandmother, but the grandson can't sit on the throne now!" ”
Empress Dowager Dong raised her eyebrows, turned her head to look at Liu Xie, and waited for his next words.
Liu Xie continued unmoved: "After the Yellow Turban Rebellion in my Han Dynasty, the court and the outside are already in ruins. Outside, in the past few years, natural disasters and man-made disasters, heavy taxes and heavy taxes have caused countless people to die of illness, starvation, and freezing to death. In the court, some capable ministers took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to gradually support their own troops, and when the time is ripe, the princes in various places will inevitably divide the land for self-government. If the grandson inherits the throne at this time, the master is young and the servant is strong, the master is weak and the servant is strong, and he will inevitably lose his power. ”
Historical facts are like this, so the tone of Liu Xie's narration is sure and convincing, but it is easy to shake the mountain, and it is difficult to shake the imperial power, Empress Dowager Dong suppressed a trace of panic at the beginning, and said in an affirmative tone: "How is this possible?" There are countless relatives of my Han Liu clan, as long as my grandson ascends to the throne, he will naturally respond to every call, how can the world be chaotic? ”
"Alas, the grandson is too young, even if it is the age of binding his hair, the grandson will take it personally." Liu Xie waved his fists, very unwilling in his heart, "Now, my brother has the help of the great general He Jin, and he is better than his grandson to inherit the throne." ”
"Huh, just him? If you don't learn and have no skills, you have no way to be promiscuous, if this country is given to him, sooner or later, you will be defeated by him. As soon as Empress Dowager Dong heard Liu Wei, she was angry.
Liu Xie saw that he was not convinced by the Empress Dowager Dong, so he shirked and said: "Grandma Huang, let the matter of the throne go naturally, but the marriage should be delayed first, and how about talking about it when the grandchildren are older?" ”
"You, let's talk about it when we see it, we can't make Princess Yang'an's face too ugly, right?" Liu Xie's words not only shocked the Empress Dowager Dong, but also made the Empress Dowager Dong appreciate him even more.
"Okay, let's talk about it after we meet." Liu Xie saw that Empress Dowager Dong was relieved, so he accepted it when he saw it.
"Xiu'er, what do you think of the eldest prince?" After dinner, Yang Biao called his son to the study.
Yang Xiu didn't think about it, and opened his mouth to say: "Like a rumor, you can't learn anything." ”
"Oh, what about the second prince?" Yang Biao frowned slightly.
"Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword!" Yang Xiu thought of Liu Xie's strange behavior, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
Xiang Zhuang dancing sword? Interesting, is it intended for Cai Yong or ......? Yang Xiu has been smart since he was a child, Yang Biao did not doubt his son's words at all, and asked, "Then what are your plans?" ”
"Concentrate on your studies." Yang Xiu said indifferently.
"Haha, okay, you go down and rest." Yang Biao smiled with satisfaction.
Yang Xiu returned to his bedroom, sat in front of the desk, prepared pen and ink, closed his eyes for a moment, and wrote Liu Xie's name squarely above the paper, and noted the word 'omitted' below.
"Ang'er, did anything interesting happen today?" Cao Cao asked with a smile while eating wine.
"Back to my father, there are no interesting things, but I have seen the arrogance of the Yuan family, the intelligence of Hongnong Yang Xiu, and the elegance of Liu Ji." Cao Ang said respectfully.
"Oh, why don't I talk about the two princes?" Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang with a slight smile.
"The child does not dare to talk about the royal family."
"Why don't you dare? Here you and me, father and son, come from your mouth and enter my ears, how can outsiders know? Besides, he is also a royal person, why can't my Cao family discuss it? Cao Cao waved his hand majestically," he said, boldly. ”
"According to what the child saw, the eldest prince is useless, as for the two princes, ......"
"What about the second prince?"
"The child can't read him." Thinking of Liu Xie's performance this day, Cao Ang shook his head with a wry smile.
"Can't read? Then look at it with your heart, Ang'er, you should be down-to-earth and study hard with Master Cai, this is a rare opportunity. Cao Cao shouted loudly.
"No! Children will learn by heart. Cao Ang bowed and agreed.
