Xiang Jingwu shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I don't force it, but this assassination incident is a wake-up call for me, now it's time to send you something to do, always being such an idle official, it's not okay to be a white-collar courtier, I can't allow my courtiers to just eat and not work, hehe."

Liu Fan hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, Wechen is not eating dry rice now, Wechen is now working for you for free!" Last time, Wechen beat the dog of the right prime minister, and you fined Wechen for half a year, did you forget? ”

Xiang Jingwu glared at him, ignored him, and continued: "Liu Xuanyu, after you negotiate with the grassland people, I will send you another errand, you have to do it well for me, do it with your heart, if you mess around like before, I won't see Qing'er's face anymore, I should fight and kill, I will not show mercy!" Liu Fan was shocked when he heard this, and he was awe-inspired.

"Speaking of Qing'er, I think that the matter between you, Qing'er, and Ning'er can be prepared," Xiang Jingwu looked at Liu Fan meaningfully, "In the future, you will become your own family, you must be more attentive when you run errands, right?" ”

Liu Fan said happily: "Thank you, father-in-law, oh no...... It should be to ask the emperor to rest assured, Weichen will definitely take good care of Princess Qinghe and Princess Anning, and if Weichen is bullied by anyone outside in the future, he will go home and ask Qinghe to take someone to smoke whom! ”

Prince's Mansion.

The night was deep, and the paper lanterns hanging under the eaves of the apse were like bright and dark, swaying gently in the evening breeze, pulling the two figures in the hall into constant turmoil.

Liu Yi sat on the Taishi's chair and said with tears in his eyes: "His Royal Highness the Prince, now the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are suspicious, saying that the mastermind behind the assassination of the Marquis of Shouting is the old minister, and the old minister is really wronged!" I can't wait to die to prove my innocence......"

The prince said with relief: "The teacher doesn't have to be angry, the clean person will clear himself, and the grievances will one day be revealed to the world, and I believe that the teacher is innocent." ”

Liu Yi shook his head and said: "Whether it's clear or turbid, the old minister is in the bureau, but he can't see this outside thing clearly." His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister has a teacher-student friendship with you, and the old minister doesn't understand, why don't you discuss it with the old minister when you make a move? ”

The prince was slightly surprised and said, "I don't know what the teacher means?" ”

Liu Yi said in a deep voice: "There are no outsiders here, and the old minister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have nothing to say. The old minister is rude this time, please ask His Royal Highness to get straight to the point, may I ask His Royal Highness the Prince, the assassination of the Marquis of Shouting, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did it? ”

The prince was taken aback: "Why does the teacher suspect that it was done by someone who sent it alone?" ”

Liu Yi stared at the prince's face without blinking, and said in a deep voice: "The old minister knows that the Marquis of Shouting has been deeply favored by the emperor recently, and His Royal Highness the Prince is also increasingly wary of the Marquis of Shouting, lest the Marquis of Shouting become the powerful minister of His Royal Highness who will ascend the throne in the future, so the old minister dared to guess that killing the Marquis of Shouting, His Royal Highness the Prince has more reasons than the old minister, I don't know if the old minister guessed or not?" ”

When the prince heard the word "Quanchen", the corner of his eyes twitched imperceptibly, and then the prince smiled gently: "The teacher is serious, it doesn't matter whether it is or not, the teacher has taught Gu before, and there shouldn't be a personal grudge in the heart of a person who is in the court?" As long as it is beneficial to himself, even if he has a grudge in private, he can also cooperate with him temporarily. If there are advantages, they will be combined, and if there are disadvantages, they will be judged. Hehe, Lone remembers this very well. ”

Liu Yi glanced at the prince deeply, thinking of the words "if there are drawbacks", he suddenly smiled: "His Royal Highness the prince is right, it is the old minister who is confused." Hehe, I'm getting older, I'm getting older and dizzy, it seems that it's time for the old minister to resign and return to his hometown. ”

The prince smiled lightly: "Teacher, don't say that, the court relies on teachers in many places, and those who can work hard, how can teachers easily retire?" Lone wanted to ask his father to give the teacher another knighthood to show royal favor. The teacher is biased, and please work hard for the court for a few more years......"

......

After five days of recuperating from his injuries, the Chu Dynasty's alliance negotiations with the Turks and Khitans finally resumed.

Early in the morning, Liu Fan came to the post house where the Khitan national teacher Shu Lu lived.

The emperor's grace is vast, Xiang Jingwu is worried that Liu Fan will be assassinated again, and Chu Yi specially ordered Chu Yi to send five hundred soldiers of the cavalry army to protect Liu Fan at any time, and now Liu Fan is very proud, leading five hundred soldiers to run around Luoyang City, this kind of high-level cadre treatment is not something that anyone can have......

Liu Fan can finally walk around sideways like a crab now, he is very happy in his heart, the score on the stage is bigger than anyone else's, 200 people in front of him sound the gong to open the way, and 300 people in the back follow closely, those who know that it is an official travel, and those who don't know think that they are escorting death row prisoners to the court.

Shu Lu led the entourage of the Khitan delegation to greet Liu Fan, Liu Qiaode and Chu Yi at the gate of the post house. As soon as Shu Lu saw Liu Fan, he smiled and said: "Lord Hou, see you today, the old man sees that the adult is very good, presumably his body is fine?" ”

Liu Fan pretended to be surprised and stepped forward, arched his hand and smiled: "Oh, the tired national teacher greeted him personally, how dare Ben Hou be, you sit in the post house with peace of mind, and wait for Ben Hou to come to see you, why come out in this big sun, look, you have become dark again these days, do you want to use some men's skin care products from Jiaojingtang?" Very cheap oh ......."

Shu Lu smiled bitterly, he really couldn't guess what this oily and slick kid was thinking, every time he talked, he could thunder people half to death.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then entered the post house and sat down with the guests, and Shu Lu said with concern on his face: "The old man heard that Lord Hou was assassinated by a thief a few days ago, and he was also a little injured, and now the injury is no longer serious, right?" ”

Liu Fan smiled nonchalantly: "Ben Hou is much better, the national teacher has a heart, but he has never been able to find out who the mastermind behind the assassin is, which is really annoying." ”

Shu Lu smiled when he heard this, but didn't say anything.

The two sides then formally began negotiations.

Shulu said in a deep voice: "Lord Hou, the conditions mentioned by the old man last time may not be appropriate, and after coming back, I thought about it carefully, and the old man decided to mention it again, how about you listen to it?" ”

Liu Fan smiled happily: "Very good, very good, Lao Shu, it's not Ben Hou who said you, you should be a bold and bold person, how to mention the conditions, but they are all stingy, this habit is not good, it weakens the reputation of your Khitan people." Mention, just mention, I hope this time I won't disappoint Ben Hou again, Ben Hou is optimistic about you. ”

Shu Lu was secretly annoyed, between this kid's words, the market ruffian was full of atmosphere, and there were no officialdom rules, I really don't know how the emperor of the Chu Dynasty would send him to preside over the negotiation of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Shu Lu held back his breath and said: "The old man's conditions have increased slightly compared to the last time, first, I, the Khitan, compensated the Chu Dynasty for the war losses over the years, totaling five million taels of silver, if the silver is not enough, we can use good horses, cattle and sheep and furs to compensate; second, to release all the women, children and laborers of the Chu Dynasty in the territory of our Khitan Khanate; Third, if your country forms an alliance with our Khitan Khanate, our Khitan Khanate will never destroy the alliance, and will never send a single soldier to your country for generations. But in the same way, the old man asked your country to form an alliance with my Khitan Khanate, and immediately send an army to work with my Khitan army to destroy the Turks, these are the conditions and requirements of the old man, Lord Hou, what do you think? ”
