Liu Zhengsheng was finally able to get out of bed, and the first thing he did after getting out of bed was to go to the East Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When he entered the middle hall, he never thought that the main hall was full of people, Chen Xian and his two nephews, the crown prince Zhan Shi Ji Gang, the Zhongshu supervisor Cheng Ling, and the criminal department Shangshu Shangguan Ran, were all here.

"Oh, Lord Liu is here." Everyone turned their heads to look at him and greeted him politely.

Chen Xian suddenly stood up, gave up his chair and said, "Lord Liu has just recovered from a serious illness, you can't stand, sit here." ”

Liu Zhengsheng didn't shirk either, he helped him to sit down, Liu Yan waved his hand and motioned the guards to fetch the chair again, and then said to everyone: "Ministers, when I went to court today, my father had already made it very clear that Chenzhou had fallen. The news reached us a day late, and we don't know what will happen. ”

"When the Northern Wei Dynasty saw that my Great Song Dynasty destroyed Qilu, they must have been very red-eyed, and they also learned that we went to fight everywhere, and now they are going to ride on our heads, which is really unbearable." After all, Zhu Yangyun was young and vigorous, and immediately said indignantly.

Seeing his brother like this, Zhu Yangli couldn't help but feel angry and said, "Yes, how can the Northern Wei Dynasty be my Great Song Dynasty?" If you want to cut down, you must cut down. ”

Liu Yan nodded, signaled them to be calm, and said in a deep voice: "Since I joined the army, I have fought more than 100 battles, not to mention, I am at a young and strong age. This attack on Wei should have been carried out by me, but now that I am the crown prince, my father may not let me go on the expedition. Tomorrow morning, the ministers must help me. ”

As soon as Liu Yan's words came out, not only did he not even have supporters, but there were not half of the people who spoke up, and he was silent for a long time, but Liu Zhengsheng said: "Your Highness wants to recruit in person?" ”

"Why not?"

"Never!" Liu Zhengsheng firmly grasped the armrest of the seat, coughed excitedly twice, and said, "Although this Chenzhou is critical, the turmoil and danger of the court situation are no less than external troubles." His Royal Highness just left, and it was difficult to guarantee that King Qing and the eldest prince would have a chance to take advantage of it. ”

Liu Yan glanced at everyone and said: "The father and son of the Pei family have already gone to the battlefield, let me ask, who else in this court is more qualified to be the head coach besides me?" How can the external injustice be relieved of internal worries? Besides, with all the ministers stabilizing the situation for me, what am I afraid of. ”

Prince Zhan Shiji just pursed his lips and said very reluctantly: "Your Highness, don't throw the burden to us, we really can't afford to bear this responsibility." His Royal Highness returned triumphantly when the time came, but found that this East Palace was no longer His Highness's East Palace, and this Palace was no longer His Majesty's Palace. Will he be dragged out by the usurper to behead the crowd, or will he turn against him? ”

He said this very directly, but also seemed a little cold and alarmist, in fact, everyone understood that this was the meaning of their objection.

Liu Yan lowered his eyes and was silent, his face was full of entanglement and hesitation, Liu Zhengsheng looked at Chu Shenxia, who was silent on the side, and asked respectfully: "Does Sir also approve of His Highness's expedition?" ”

Everyone turned their eyes to him, and when he reacted, Chu Shenxia paused for a long time before raising his head and said, "I'm afraid that this time it's up to the ministers and His Royal Highness to decide." ”

Catching up with everyone's surprised gazes, Chu Shenxia said again: "Eight hundred miles of urgent news was robbed, this is not a good sign, it is very likely that someone has already secretly planned the people who went on the expedition." ”

Sure enough, on the next day, Jingyun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, recommended King Qing to lead troops to support, and most of the ministers in the court and the central government were all strong, and no one mentioned Liu Yan going out to fight.

After a little thought, the emperor agreed, and Liu Yan saw that there was no one to recommend, so he wanted to recommend himself. Unexpectedly, the emperor seemed to see through his intentions and used various methods to avoid his opening, which made Liu Yan very distressed.

After retreating from the dynasty, Liu Yan passed by Liu Zhengsheng and others, cast a fierce look, and then walked away.

"This ...... His Highness seemed angry. ”

"Just let him be angry, it's better than when he comes back, Jiankang has changed."

It's just that to Chu Shenxia and Liu Yan's surprise, King Qing only came out of Jiankang on the front foot, and Liu's back foot was planted.

First of all, Liu Yuansheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, caused Hualiu disease outside, and refused to go to court on the grounds of illness for many days, and he didn't even step into the door of the house in the house.

It's no wonder that he is like this, infected with this disease, where can he still have the face to go out to meet people? When the emperor heard this, he was quite helpless, and even removed him from his post and let him recuperate at home in peace.

Immediately afterwards, Anding Niangniang invited Concubine Hui to admire the moon in the middle of the night, but Concubine Hui slipped that night, although Anding Niangniang repeatedly said that she did not know, but the words of the public really made it difficult for her to refute.

The emperor was furious and forbade her feet, and Liu Changgong was very anxious when he heard this, and hurried to the palace. The carriage he was riding in had an accident on the way, and the car was wrecked and injured.

"It seems that the Liu family has provoked someone who shouldn't be messed with this time." Liu Zhengsheng gloated a little.

Chu Shenxia glanced up at him, raised his sleeves and poured him a glass of wine and said, "It's a pity that the child in Concubine Hui's womb, what do these things have to do with an unborn child?" ”

"Those of us who have lived for many years still can't avoid the danger of the court, let alone a fetus that doesn't even have the right to choose life?" Although Liu Zhengsheng's eyes were sad, he still said coldly.

Chu Shenxia turned his head to look out of the boat, the lake rippled, the occasional fish swam by, and the aroma in the wine glass kept drilling into his nose.

At that moment, he actually thought of himself as a casual fisherman who didn't care about the world, but unfortunately, as soon as the person next to him opened his mouth, his illusions were shattered.

"Sir, today is the ninth day of the fourth month."

"The ninth day of April? King Qing should have set off for Chenzhou for fifteen days, and he must have fallen into a stalemate with the Northern Wei Dynasty now. Chu Shenxia withdrew his gaze, picked up a few melon seeds, and pretended to snort leisurely.

Liu Zhengsheng didn't know if he really forgot or pretended to be confused, and reminded softly: "Tomorrow is the tenth day of the new year." ”

"Hahaha, I naturally know," Chu Shenxia laughed, "Today is the ninth day of the first month, isn't tomorrow the tenth day of the first month?" ”

Liu Zhengsheng was choked by his words, and concluded that he really forgot, and couldn't help but say: "The tenth day of the first month is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and it is the most suitable for proposing, has Mr. forgotten?" A few days ago, His Highness and I planned to help my husband. ”

"Oh...... You say this, I know, I remember. Chu Shenxia suddenly realized, and raised his hand to drop another glass of wine.

Liu Zhengsheng took the opportunity to chatter: "Even if Mr. has great talent, the family must be established. Mr. is twenty-three years old this year, and a man of this age has already started a family, but Mr. has always been alone. ”

Chu Shenxia raised his hand a little unnaturally, wanting to stop him from speaking, but Liu Zhengsheng didn't look at him at all, and he couldn't stop talking.

"Miss Banrong is twenty-four years old this year, and a girl of this age will be laughed at if she can't get married. Since Mr. and the half-rong girl have feelings for each other, why don't they get married as soon as possible? It's good to inherit the Chu family. ”

Chu Shenxia suddenly pointed to the tree in the distance and said to Liu Zhengdao: "Lord Liu, do you guess why the tree lives longer than people?" ”

Liu Zhengsheng thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Maybe it's because they grow in the mountains?" ”

"Because they can't speak." Chu Shenxia stared at Liu Zhengsheng's eyes tightly and held back the smile on his face.

Liu Zhengsheng heard this, but he never spoke again.

As soon as he returned to the East Palace, Chu Shenxia was mysteriously pulled into a room by Liu Yan, and when he saw the things in the house, Chu Shenxia couldn't help but be stunned.

"How? Do I have everything I need? Look, if there's anything missing, I'll tell someone to buy it at once. Liu Yan said with a smile.

Chu Shenxia almost stammered: "No...... No, that's not inevitable...... It's too ...... too."

"Hey, how can it be child's play to ask for marriage, everything that should be prepared must be prepared, you see, this robe was made by someone according to your size a few days ago, why don't you try it?" Liu Yan took the robe and handed it to Chu Shenxia.

Chu Shenxia waved his hand again and again, and retreated: "Your Highness is inevitably too anxious, this ...... I haven't figured out ...... yet."

"What? You haven't figured it out yet? Didn't the first few **** say that it was good? On the tenth day of the first month of April, I proposed to Banrong, and then picked a good day to get married. Now tell me that you haven't thought it through, aren't you backtracking? Liu Yan took a step closer to him and was aggressive.

Chu Shenxia was quite helpless, he obviously drank too much that day, how could what he said if he drank too much count? He turned his back and said, "Your Highness! You also know the situation of me and my mother and my grandfather, and I do know that starting a family is a big deal, but I should always get my mother's permission to do my family affairs. ”

"How could your mother disagree? As long as the person who marries you is a normal woman, your mother will readily agree, which mother in the world does not want her son to marry? Don't talk to me about these useless words, tomorrow after breakfast, you can propose to Xu Xi. Liu Yan put his hand on his shoulder and saw him turn around.

and persuaded bitterly: "Please also think about the feelings of Banrong, is it possible that this family matter still has to be half-spoken?" Think about it for yourself. ”

When Chu Shenxia saw him turn around and leave, he couldn't help but look at the things in front of him, his eyes rose and fell, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

All night long, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so he simply got up and went out into the yard and drank wine from the trunk of the plum tree.

"Wake up! Wake up! ”

Chu Shenxia looked up in a daze, and saw Liu Yan and Liu Zhengsheng smiling at him, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, staggered up and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Liu Zhengsheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "It's time, you are also ready to prepare." ”

Liu Yan also walked up to him, frowned, and said, "Have you drunk all night?" The smell of wine is all over the body, so let's go to the bath first, so as not to smoke Xu Xi and Banrong. ”

Chu Shenxia was taken to the bathing place by them in a daze, and then brought to the half-sided courtyard in a daze.

Xu Xi and Banrong were picking up herbs, and when they saw a few of them coming, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, Liu Yan hurriedly pushed Chu Shenxia and said softly: "Say! ”

Xu ...... Old man," Chu Shenxia pressed his somewhat aching head, and said with a straight face, "I have been fond of your apprentice for a long time, and I am similar to my half-aged apprentice, Mr. Xu...... Will you marry me? ”

Banrong was shocked and couldn't hold the scissors in his hand steadily, and with a "bang", he smashed to the ground at once.
