Chapter 274: Mixing Public and Private Interests
Chang'an City, Zhongshan Palace.
Since the destruction of the Western Jin Dynasty and the occupation of Chang'an, Liu Yao has built a lot of buildings, inside and out, and wants to use Chang'an as his base camp to carefully manage. The original Jin palace in the city became Liu Yao's mansion as a matter of course. Because of its large scale and many large and small palaces, Liu Yao moved in except for his mother, who lived in Pingyang, the rest of his wives, concubines, nephews, old servants, etc.
The son Liu Yin, because of his prominent and special status, was arranged by Liu Yao in Changle Palace in the east of Weiyang Palace. Changle Palace was originally the residence of the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty, but because the old mother did not come, she was rewarded to Liu Yin and counted as his East Palace.
On this day, Liu Yin was in the study of his house, pacing back and forth with his hands on his shoulders, and his expression was obviously preoccupied. After pacing for a long time, Liu Yin's eyes lit up, his expression moved slightly, and he came to the table and sat down.
"Your Highness, the slave family heard that you were here, so they came to find it, don't you have anything to tell me?" A woman in a fancy costume, with a face as beautiful as a peach and plum, with a bit of a bright smile, is stepping in, and it turns out to be Yuan Zheng!
It turned out that after the city of Chang'an was broken that day, the Huns plundered everywhere, and Yuan's mansion was certainly not spared, and Yuan Zheng was about to be dragged by several stout soldiers, so he had to invade on the spot. Fortunately, Liu Yin happened to pass by at that time, and saw that although Yuan Zheng was frightened, her beautiful face and the slender figure exposed when she struggled made Liu Yin fall in love almost at first sight, and immediately had the intention of saving the beauty and rescued Yuan Zheng from great danger.
Yuan Zheng was frightened, and when he saw someone rescue, he cried so much that he couldn't help himself. Liu Yin saw his coquettish crying, and became more and more pityful, so he repeatedly comforted him with kind words, and took him back to his temporary residence, and couldn't help but order Yuan Zheng to sleep that night. Yuan Zheng's life is still in the hands of people, and he is helplessly forced to commit to Liu Yin, although he is indeed extremely reluctant at first, but Liu Yin is handsome, noble, and can get his protection, so among the Huns who are full of tigers and wolves, he can almost rest assured that he can walk with his head held high. What's more, Liu Yin actually had a strong love for Yuan Zheng, not only did he not regard him as a plaything or a concubine, but solemnly said that he wanted to accept Yuan Zheng as the princess, and he has always loved her on weekdays.
Huge power and sweet affection, so how can a woman's heart not be melted. Slowly, Yuan Zheng also shifted his mind to Liu Yin, and even secretly compared Liu Yin with Gao Yue: in terms of appearance, Liu Yin has a long body, jade body, white skin, and handsome skin, a very pleasing appearance, and a good sense of luxury; In terms of identity, Liu Yingui is the son of Liu Yao, and Liu Yao can almost be regarded as the second monarch of the Xiongnu, and his power is incomparable; In terms of feelings, Liu Yin is not as deaf and dumb as Gao Yue did to her, but takes care of her in every way, so that she is easy to be under the bed, and she is also very gentle, and she is willing to take care of her feelings, which is simply a bosom lover.
So Yuan Zheng slowly adapted and liked the new identity, and felt that he was immortal and blessed.
Yuan Zheng is lively and outgoing by nature, which makes Liu Yin feel that life is colorful, so he loves him even more. Seeing that it was her now, Liu Yin's worried expression with his brows locked had already slowed down, and looking at Yuan Zheng's eyes, he couldn't hide his full love, he beckoned and smiled: "Zheng'er, come and sit down." ”
Yuan Zheng didn't shirk either, trotted over, sat down next to Liu Yin, pouted coquettishly, and said, "Your Highness, how is the slave family entrusting you to do?" ”
It hit Liu Yin's troubles at once. Liu Yin's smile was a little sluggish, and he sighed: "Alas. My father is in a very bad mood these days...... But don't worry, I also sent someone to Pingyang a few days ago, and I also secretly said hello, your father's life over there should be worry-free, wait for a while, I will find a way, and take him over. ”
After the fall of Chang'an, Liu Yao packed up the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Dynasty and escorted them all to Pingyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty. Yuan Zheng's father was a squire of the Yellow Gate, and naturally he was in the ranks, and after arriving in Pingyang, many officials of the Jin Dynasty were temporarily imprisoned for the next step. But after a long time, except for the monarch Sima Ye and several extremely top ministers, the rest of the people seemed to be slowly forgotten, neither said to release nor killed, anyway, they were still so trapped, but the supervision was not as strict as it was at the beginning.
After Yuan Zheng and Liu Yin got along, he was worried about his father, so he asked Liu Yin to rescue him, and finally rescued him from Pingyang and returned to Chang'an, so that the father and daughter could be reunited. Liu Yinben secretly thought that if he said that it would be difficult to rescue the remnants of the Jin Dynasty such as Lu Yun Suo Qi, but Yuan's father was not a core figure, and he could be released as a fish that slipped through the net. When he went to find Liu Yao, he hit a nail, so he had to give up for the time being.
Yuan Zheng's face darkened, he bit his clear red lips, and was silent for a moment before he said timidly: "Then, what about the two of us...... What did your father say? ”
Liu Yin sighed several times before shaking his head and saying, "It's also a little tricky." My father was very unhappy, saying that I had an extraordinary status and a valuable bloodline. In the past, in Pingyang City, many princes and nobles rushed to marry their daughters, but their fathers refused because they were not very satisfied. He said that now if I let go of so many daughters and celebrities of the country and ignore them, but I turned my head and married an ordinary Han girl, I would still be a dead countryman, which made him unable to explain to everyone. ”
Yuan Zheng buried his face deep and didn't speak again. Liu Yin couldn't see Yuan Zheng's pitiful appearance of being wronged, and hurriedly said: "Actually, I also know that it is not difficult to release your father back to Chang'an. And I want to marry you as a princess, as long as my father nods, no one really dares to gossip, even Your Majesty will let it go. The point is, some time ago, we were in the West, and we fought a big defeat, and we lost countless elites of the country, so my father was extremely ashamed and angry, where did I still have emotions to ask about my private affairs? ”
"Do you want to fight with Gao and Gao Yue in Qinzhou?" Yuan Zheng's heart fluctuated slightly, and some of them were lost. Banyu raised his head, like a frightened deer, kept blinking his dark eyes, and whispered: "You persuade your father more." ”
"How I didn't persuade! However, I heard that he was so angry that he had killed more than a dozen generals with his own hands, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to say more. Alas, my father's nature is like a blazing fire, and he can be moved in a hurry! ”
Exhaling a depressed breath, Liu Yin said again: "But don't be disappointed." As long as the worries of the father can be relieved, then everything is not a problem. I've already thought of a good countermeasure that I can use to defeat Gao Yue. Fang was thinking about going to his father, and he was thinking about it repeatedly, for fear that something would go wrong. ”
"Defeat Gao Yue?"
Yuan Zheng's eyebrows jumped, and he straightened up unconsciously, and his heart was complicated in an instant. Her eyes rolled around in a hurry, and after a moment she sank down again, lowered her head and whispered: "Military and political affairs, I am a woman, so I don't want to ask too much." In short, since Your Highness can relieve your father's worries, then the slave family will not be disturbed, Your Highness, go quickly. ”
In the palace of the Zhongshan king, Liu Yaozheng gathered a lot of civil and military personnel to make reliable staff and analysis on the current situation and the next step. Many people said that the current Qinzhou army is blazing, and their own side has only been defeated, so they should not compete with it for the time being, and it is better to be stable. Hu Yanmo, the general of Zhengxi, further said that now that Xinping has been lost, Puhong can no longer be counted on. Only by fully supporting Chen An is not only to continue to let him be the vanguard of the attack on Gao Yue, but also to let him bear the brunt of the pressure for me and be a buffer zone between the enemy and us, so Chen An can't give up for the time being.
Because it was not a formal court meeting, or a formal military meeting, Liu Yao was dressed in simple civilian clothes, casually cross-legged, listening carefully to the advice and suggestions of his subordinates, while nodding his head constantly, thinking carefully, and occasionally asking a few words.
When there was a sound of communication, there were guards outside who reported loudly, and the prince asked to see him.
Liu Yao agreed. After a while, Liu Yin stepped in, bowed down to worship, respectful and polite. Everyone also stepped forward to greet Liu Yin, and secretly thought that there must be private and important matters between his father and son, so they turned around and asked for resignation.
Liu Yin stopped everyone, saying that this is to offer some humble opinions on the current military and political affairs, whether it is feasible, and he was about to ask the princes to comment and refer to it, but he retreated.
Liu Yao thought that he was here to talk about private matters again, and he was already unhappy in his heart, but when he heard that Liu Yin was here for official business, he couldn't help but bow his head frequently and praised it, so Liu Yao ordered Zhu Wenwu to stay for the time being, and asked Liu Yin to talk in public about what the plan was.
