Liu Fan nodded as if he didn't understand, Master Liu glanced at him, sighed and said: "Now you don't even dare to make decisions about your own family affairs, how can you talk about contributing to the court and benefiting the people?" ”

Liu Fan understood now, his father was warning himself to be assertive. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Liu Fan smiled and said: "Dad, don't you respect you, since you are my father, this daughter-in-law must first ask for your second elder's opinion when she enters the door, right?!" As the saying goes, "If there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure". You and your mother are two treasures, and the child has made a fortune......"

Master Liu frowned: "How did the old man hear this, why did he feel so awkward?" ”

Liu Fan hurriedly smiled and said: "It's not awkward, it's not awkward, this is a compliment to you,...... Anyway, just listen to it! ”

Master Liu glared at him: "The old man heard that the girl surnamed Xiao has been married?" ”

Liu Fan's heart hung in the air, and he said carefully: "What my father said is very true, but as soon as she finished visiting the church on the day she got married, the groom was arrested and sent to serve as a soldier, so she is still innocent, and this child can guarantee ......"

Master Liu shook his head and said: "It's useless for you to tell the old man about this, the old man has been traveling from south to north for many years, asking himself if he is not a pedantic person, what is her background, the old man doesn't care, but your mother, I'm afraid it will take a lot of twists and turns, your mother's personality, the old man knows that she will not easily agree to the widow to marry into my Liu family." ”

Liu Fan was taken aback, and then pretended to cry bitterly and said: "Oh, father, father, you have to help the child, the Liu family is the only seedling of the child, and the child shoulders the historical responsibility of inheriting the Liu family and spreading the branches, it doesn't matter if it's not **, but the child finally fell in love with a woman, you can't let her even can't enter the door, right?" Won't your mother's wish to hold your grandson come to naught? It's like, "The widow died of her son - there was no hope," ah......

Old Man Liu couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and said impatiently: "What a mess are you!" Didn't the old man just say it! The old man has no objection to this matter, put away your set of plays and act in front of your mother! ”

Liu Fan pretended to wipe his nose, patted his clothes casually, and said indifferently: "The child knows, the child is just rehearsing in front of you to see how the audience reacts." ”

Master Liu looked at this unobtrusive son in amazement, then shook his head and sighed: "How could the old man give birth...... Alas, you go out, don't dangle in front of the old man, as soon as I see your old man, I will be upset, go quickly, go quickly......"

Master Liu turned his head, waved his hand, and drove Liu Fan out of the door like a fly.

The negotiations between the Chu Dynasty and the steppe people had to take a temporary break because the Shouting Marquis was being stabbed in the buttocks, and the two steppe envoys were waiting for the latest notice from the Chu Dynasty in the post house.

In the evening of the next day, the prince who had not seen the land for a long time came to Liu's mansion, and he gave Xiang Jingwu's dictation to announce that Liu Fan would enter the palace to meet him.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live-" Entering the imperial study, Liu Fan didn't say a word, and bowed his head.

"Hehe, okay, in front of me, don't pretend, get up." Xiang Jingwu seems to be in a good mood today.

"Come on, give Liu Aiqing a seat." Xiang Jingwu was rarely polite today.

Liu Fan smiled dryly: "Your Majesty, you're welcome, Weichen is ...... standing up."

Xiang Jingwu was a little surprised: "You changed sex today?" You don't have such rules in front of me on weekdays. ”

Liu Fan cried and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, you are not so polite on weekdays, aren't you embarrassed?" Wechen ...... I was stabbed......" said pitifully and pointed to his buttocks, emphasizing: "...... Wechen was wounded for the glory of the country. ”

Xiang Jingwu was stunned, and then laughed and said, "This is my negligence, hehe, then you continue to stand." ”

Liu Fan hated in his heart: If you want to be polite, you can say yes, give a seat and it's over?! I have to pay tens of thousands of taels for medical expenses.

There was no greeting and nonsense between the monarchs and ministers, and Xiang Jingwu said straight to the point: "I summoned you here to ask you, do you know who the assassin is?" ”

Liu Fan shook his head: "Weichen doesn't know, the assassin has been killed on the spot, and there is no living mouth, according to Lord Yin Chen of Luoyang Mansion, there are no tokens or special things on the assassin that can prove his identity, and even the weapons of the envoy are common standard knives, and this case is really impossible to investigate." ”

Xiang Jingwu frowned and said: "Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all guessing behind their backs, saying that it was instructed by Liu Yi, but in my opinion, it may not be ......."

Liu Fan said with a smile: "The emperor is wise, and Weichen also thinks so, no matter how the right prime minister says it, he is also a treacherous and slippery...... Uh, scheming, he shouldn't have made such a stupid move, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that Weichen didn't deal with him, how could he blatantly instruct the assassin to assassinate Weichen again? Then he is too arrogant, according to Weichen, the instructor has someone else. ”

Xiang Jingwu glanced at Liu Fan and sighed: "No matter who the mastermind behind is, you have to be careful in the future." Yesterday, Qing'er entered the palace and played a petty game with me, saying that the court was too dangerous, and asked me to let you resign, but I didn't agree, do you know why I didn't agree? ”

Liu Fan said proudly: "It must be that the emperor thinks that Weichen is loyal, and loyal ministers must be loyal to the country, and they can't hide at home and enjoy Qingfu......"

Xiang Jingwu couldn't hold back a smile and said, "I can't see where you are loyal, but it's true that you are extremely thick-skinned." ”

"I didn't promise Qing'er because I need you, and I want to reuse you." Xiang Jingwu stared at Liu Fan and said word by word.

Liu Fan was stunned, what do you mean by this? In terms of governing the country and political skills, Liu Fan feels that he can't compare with those old fritters in the court, the emperor's uncle doesn't use so many people, why do you have to use me?

Xiang Jingwu seemed to see through Liu Fan's thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "There are more than 100 civil and military ministers who stand in the court every day, who is loyal and who is treacherous, who is honest and who is greedy, I am clear, to tell the truth, you are slippery, speculative, mercenary, tricky, despicable and treacherous, and shameless......"

The more Liu Fan listened, the more he didn't taste it, according to the comments of the emperor's uncle, he was the kind of evil person who couldn't be wronged if he pulled out and cut off his head a hundred times, am I that bad? Don't you curse like this...... Liu Fan hurriedly interrupted Xiang Jingwu's words and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, father-in-law!" …… You take it easy, you can omit the words of Weichen, talk about the key points later, and listen to Weichen......"

Xiang Jingwu glanced at him with a smile: "It seems that I am wrong, you are not shameless, you are ashamed, you are ashamed!" Hehe...... Among so many ministers, I am the only one who wants to reuse you, and there is indeed a reason, remember what I told you last time? As I said, you run a private business but do not form a party, you have no foundation in the court, you are alone, you are alone, and you are from a merchant family, not a famous family, I need someone like you to help me. ”

"The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, loyal or traitorous, they are just friends one by one. Those so-called loyal ministers who claim to be clear have formed a faction and fought back and forth with the traitorous ministers of the court, hum, loyal ministers! In my eyes, if you form a party, you can't be considered a loyal minister, and party strife is the disaster of the country! I use you because you didn't wade into this dirty muddy water, Xuanyu, do you understand what I mean? ”

Liu Fan shook his head, he really didn't understand: "Your Majesty, your words are very profound, hehe, very profound, the emperor is the emperor, the knowledge of speaking is really unfathomable, Weichen is really admired......" Liu Fan's head was running rapidly, pondering the meaning of Xiang Jingwu's words, and he was still patting the sycophant, but it was a pity that this sycophant was really inconsequential, and the gold content was quite low.
