"Brother Huang, it's been a hard journey. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "King Qing bumped into Liu Yan outside the hall and hurriedly ran two steps to meet him.

Liu Yan didn't seem to react to his smiling face, and always looked at him steadily, King Qing was shocked by his obscure eyes, and forcibly withdrew his smile little by little.

He pointed to the door of the palace in embarrassment and said, "Brother Huang, go in quickly, my father is still waiting for us." ”

After speaking, he walked towards the main hall as if he was fleeing, Liu Yan looked at his embarrassed steps, sneered, and followed into the main hall.

"The son visits his father."

After King Qing bowed very sincerely, Liu Yan slowly walked to King Qing's side under the gaze of everyone, unhurriedly lifted his robe, bowed down on his knees, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "My son and son visit my father." ”

When the emperor saw his son, whom he had not seen for many days, he was very happy in his heart, and when he saw him making such a great salute, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't kneel, get up quickly." ”

"The retainer is guilty." Liu Yan insisted on refusing to get up.

The emperor's cloudy eyes rolled, and he kept turning the Buddha beads in his hand, and said in surprise: "What crime have you committed?" ”

"The son has committed the great crime of unfilial piety, his father has been worried about state affairs for days, and the son is far away in Huangling, but he can't even help half a penny."

The emperor immediately laughed after hearing this, got up from the dragon couch, and personally helped Liu Yan up, so close, he saw that Liu Yan was a lot darker, but he was also a lot stronger, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, and praised: "Good boy, your father sent you to Lu State, don't complain about your father, right?" ”

Seeing that Liu Yan shook his head, the emperor's heart suddenly twitched tightly, even if he didn't say it, how could he not see that he had really suffered a lot these days, seeing that his lips were a little pale, he hurriedly said to Chen Gong beside him: "Do you have any vision, why don't you go and prepare tea for His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Gonggong Chen responded and quickly retreated, but the emperor still couldn't help but say, "This old thing." The older you get, the less you can do. ”

Seeing that the emperor actually pulled Liu Yan to chat about family life, several ministers on the side were full of embarrassment and impatience on their faces, and they hurried into the palace. In front of the emperor, several methods were discussed fiercely, and so far I haven't even drunk a cup of tea.

As soon as Liu Yan came, the emperor was good, he didn't talk about business, what kind of family routine did he talk about? The Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Liu Zhiye, made a look at King Qing. King Qing looked a little embarrassed, but he still spoke.

"The royal brother has traveled a long way, and it has been very hard, no, he didn't even sit on the stool in the East Palace, so he hurried to the palace. I feel really distressed when I see it, Brother Huang, it just so happens that there are two ginseng sticks from the East China Sea in my house, and I will send someone to send them to you after a while. ”

The Emperor glanced at King Qing. With Liu Yan's support, he returned to the dragon couch and sighed: "You, there is no day for me to worry, if you have half of Zishun's heart, I can sit back and relax." ”

King Qing was frightened and was about to ask for guilt, but the emperor didn't give him this opportunity at all, and said to Liu Yan instead: "Now the only one who can compete with the Southern Song Dynasty is his Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Liang State has been attached to it for many years." These days, I gradually became worried, for fear of being eaten by the Northern Wei Dynasty. He borrowed troops from me to defend the country. I didn't agree, and he turned to the Northern Wei Dynasty. ”

Liu Yan also heard about this matter, and Liang Guo's approach is understandable. The Southern Song Dynasty, which was bent on seeking refuge, had no intention of helping him, and instead of waiting for the Northern Wei Dynasty to attack him, it was better to take the opportunity to defect and fight for life.

"I plan to immediately send troops to the Liang Kingdom and destroy his Liang Kingdom. It's better than being taken advantage of by the Northern Wei Dynasty. "When the emperor was young, he liked to go around fighting the most, and when he reached middle age, he suffered from diseases that can only be contracted in old age, and these diseases were accumulated in the hard war.

In his words, this is retribution, but even if God wants to cut half of his life, his ambition to achieve the unification of Kyushu has never been lost by half because of this.

"The minister thinks that this candidate must be King Qing, and the reason is that the minister has already said it again, but the minister feels that it is necessary to say it again......"

"Okay, okay, no one wants to hear you say it again, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that King Qing's experience in leading troops to fight is far inferior to His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should fight."

"Don't forget, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has now taken over the Lu State, this war, how long will it take, and who will govern the Lu State?"

Liu Yan didn't really understand at this time, what kind of debriefing was clearly asking him to lead his troops into battle and capture the Liang State, so as to vent a bad breath for his father.

What surprised him the most was that none of the so many ministers were against the attack on Liang, but instead competed to choose people for this war, which was really laughable.

"No way!" Liu Yan's categorical voice suppressed the chaotic argument.

The emperor sat up straight, met Liu Yan's firm gaze and asked, "Zishun, what do you think, let me hear it." ”

"Erchen feels that there is no need to fight this battle."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers present were stunned, thinking that they had heard it wrong, and King Qing asked in disbelief: "Brother Huang, I didn't hear what you said." ”

The emperor moved his sitting posture a little uneasily, and Long Yan was slightly displeased, but when he thought of Liu Yan's unique idea and wanted to hear his reasons, he asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"During this time, wars broke out frequently, the people were already miserable, and the soldiers also needed to rest, and the Liang country, with its small land and few people, was not worth our fight. Besides, the Northern Wei Dynasty will definitely take the opportunity to attack the Southern Song Dynasty when we start a war with the Liang State, and then it will really lose the wife and the army. ”

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, King Qing hurriedly seized this opportunity and retorted: "Brother Huang, this is your fault, grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige." I have enough soldiers and horses in the Southern Song Dynasty, even if I transfer some of them to fight the Liang Kingdom? Even if he wants to sneak attack me in the Northern Wei Dynasty at that time, what about the Southern Song Dynasty? There are our soldiers in all directions, just transfer it, I don't believe that he can still tolerate me in the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty? ”

"Yes, although Liang Guo is small, he is a piece of meat, you can't let go of this opportunity, you must swallow him." The minister on the side hurriedly agreed.

Liu Yan stared at the minister coldly and said, "Meat? Liang Guo is not as easy to gnaw as you think, at most it is a piece of meat and bones, you are old, beware of swallowing him and choking to death. ”

The minister was stammered by him, "You, you...... You say it's okay with me, but you can't insinuate that Your Majesty. ”

"There are too many ministers like you who maliciously distort words around my father, so I will feel physically and mentally exhausted." Liu Yan fought back without showing weakness.

"That's it!" The emperor suddenly stopped him, and said with some anger: "Zishun, I originally thought that when you came back this time, you must have changed your temper, it seems to be my delusion, that's it, that's it, that's all for today, let's discuss it another day, and retreat." ”

The ministers bowed and saluted one after another, and slowly retreated, and Liu Yan was no exception, only taking two steps, but was stopped by the emperor.

King Qing paused for a moment, and then flashed a smug look, thinking in his heart, his father stopped him, he must have been unhappy with the scolding just now, and he wanted to teach him a lesson alone.

Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't mean to keep him at all, but just reminded him: "Your mother misses you very much, go and ask her for peace, and go back when you're done." ”

King Qing retreated very disappointed, a black and ugly face, no matter what Liu Yan said and did, his father loved him in his heart, and everything came first to him!

"Mother." Liu Yan crossed the threshold, and Concubine Gao Xian had already rushed out of the inner hall with a happy face, took his hand, and hurriedly walked towards the inner hall.

Liu Yan saw the food on the table, but he didn't have much interest, he just glanced at it, and then said: "The mother concubine is so troubled, it really frustrates the ministers." ”

"Look at what you're talking about." Concubine Gao Xian's crystal clear eyes seemed to be dripping in the next second, and she looked at him carefully a few times before she said with pity: "Zishun, you have lost weight, you are also dark, and your skin is rough." ”

As she spoke, tears really flowed from her eyes, Liu Yan saw her crying, put down her chopsticks in a panic, hurriedly wiped her tears, and persuaded: "What is the mother concubine doing?" Isn't that okay with me? I didn't die or get hurt, my muscles and bones are very strong, I am a man who protects the country with a knife, and I should have rough skin and thick meat. ”

"Mother...... The mother understands that she feels sorry for you, and other princes, like King Qing and King Xu, are all staying by your father's side and enjoying fine clothes and food. Concubine Gao Xian was a little excited and couldn't speak, and paused before continuing.

"But what about you? You were still so young, you were sent to the barracks, and you lived with those soldiers licking blood from the edge of the knife. Since then, you have not stayed by your mother's side until in recent years, when you finally returned, and the mother was so happy that she even slept soundly. But in the end, you're gone again. ”

Liu Yan comforted his mother and motioned for everyone to withdraw with his eyes, and then took out the tourmaline in his arms and handed it to Concubine Gao Xian, who was hazy with tears in her eyes.

She just glanced at it, and then looked away, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was wrong, so she hurriedly took the tourmaline from his hand, and looked carefully, this stone tourmaline was not the stone she gave Liu Yan!

"What's going on?" Concubine Gao Xian said in a hurry.

Liu Yan said unhurriedly: "Mother, don't worry, listen to me slowly, one day, I met the tribesmen of the Mongolian tribe in the desert, it turned out that they had returned to the desert since Wu Jin destroyed the country, re-planned, and prepared to kill out of the desert one day." It was there that I met the son of Gelchacha, with whom I became brothers, and who swore a poisonous oath that he would follow me forever. He and I exchanged each other's tourmalines and testified about it. ”

Hearing the words Ge Chacha, Concubine Gao Xian was obviously a little strange, and asked, "Have you seen Ge Chacha?" So what's wrong with him now? ”

Liu Yan lowered his eyes and didn't look at her expression, pretending not to care: "It's good, although life in the desert is a little harder, I think he still enjoys it, no, he even has a son." ”

Concubine Gao Xian immediately guessed Liu Yan's thoughts, Ge Chacha must have told him something, she didn't intend to explain, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said: "In this way, it is naturally excellent, with them as your backing, the mother concubine will be relieved." ”
