In a bamboo forest in Jiajia Village, Liu Sheng took his hand and walked forward slowly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info years of hurried Dali trip, a year and a half long. This is the bamboo forest planted by Brother Zhou himself, and it is also his favorite place. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I don't know that he is in Dali, and he is doing well.

A gust of breeze swept by, bringing a pleasant bamboo sound, and the thought involuntarily returned to the early morning of the day when it was on the bank of the Xiang River. The boat rowed into the river, and Brother Zhou walked away with his hands behind him.

The original words were deeply rooted in my heart. But what Brother Zhou said, is it really his own heart? Over the years, I have really lived in self-deception.

It's a pity that Daoist Mingyi is not here, he may have arrived in Dali now, and he really had a good time with Brother Zhou.

Otherwise, I can tell him the doubts in my heart.

A sound of footsteps sounded, Li Miao and Wang An walked together, looked at the pensive Liu Sheng, glanced at each other, and were silent.

Liu Sheng turned around and was slightly stunned: "When did you come?" ……“。

"Aren't you surprised why you only returned to the village today? Wang An and I have already stood in front of you." Li Miao smiled at Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng nodded with a smile, looking at the swaying bamboo leaves, and a trace of emotion appeared in his heart: "I once promised Brother Zhou that after the battle of Jiaozhi, I would disband the three thousand Chunqiu Wei." Bring them back to our dynasty and settle them down. Unexpectedly, this settlement is, half a year. Carefully calculated, from the beginning of the trip to Dali, until now, it has been a long time and a half. It was not until noon today that I returned to the village."

"So I stayed in this village and waited for half a year. If it weren't for my aunt and they were in Gangneung Mansion, I guess I would have died of boredom." Wang An showed a wry smile, he thought that it would not take too long to wait for Liu Sheng. Then where did you think, this wait is half a year. But it's okay, the unofficial is light, and the past half a year has been free.

Aunt? Liu Sheng thought back to the previous encounter in Jiangling Mansion, and then smiled, he should be very happy at the beginning: "You are a prime minister and a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and you are all waiting for me here for half a year, I am really grateful, but your government affairs?" How did you do it in the past six months? “。

"Poor sour, you made a mistake, first of all, I just waited for you for three months, and secondly, Wang An was late for you, but he was late for the position of prime minister, and now Sima Zhao is the prime minister, and the new law has been completely abolished. It seems that we still think highly of him, Sima Zhao's strength has made Wang An and your hard work turn into flowing water. If you don't enter the court, you are afraid of the people of this world, and you will be sad." Looking at Liu Sheng, Li Miao hurriedly explained.

Wang An thought of the new law, his eyes gradually dimmed, and then he sighed: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government." It's just a pity that the new law was not easy for the people to gradually accept it, but it was all dismissed by Sima Zhao and a decree. The officials who changed the law in the DPRK and China were either dismissed, demoted, or idle. Maybe I made a really hasty decision in the first place."

"What about Your Majesty? Why didn't Your Majesty stop ......". Liu Sheng frowned when he heard this, Sima Zhao was so indiscriminate and abolished it all, is it a little inappropriate? It is important to know that changing the law is a good prescription, but it is only abolished because of bitterness, which is really infuriating.

Li Miao pointed at himself, then looked at Liu Sheng again, and made a stroke: "Don't you think it's strange that I came here?" It stands to reason that I should be in Liao, do you know that half a year ago, if it weren't for Yelujing, the grass on my grave would probably be so deep."

"Could it be that the Liao Kingdom wants to kill you? I've been too busy for half a year. I didn't pay much attention to how the situation inside and outside the court ......." Liu Sheng's doubts became a little thicker, and his eyes kept wandering between the two.

Wang An shook his head and smiled bitterly at Liu Sheng, thinking of this, his heart was so wide: "Three months ago, Li Miao was sent out of the country by the Liao State Gift, and then the Liao Emperor drove the expedition in person, and suddenly went south with the strength of the country. His Majesty had no choice but to let the crown prince supervise the country, and Sima Zhao assisted the prince in handling government affairs as the acting prime minister. So he took the opportunity to repeal the new law in one fell swoop."

"Acting Prime Minister? In this way, Your Majesty is already in the north, and the Liao Emperor has begun to fight." Liu Sheng's eyes looked at the north, thinking of Yelujing, and there was a trace of emotion. As the crown prince of Liao, he was still powerless to stop this war.

Li Miao nodded, and slightly organized the words in his heart: "On the way back to Luoyang, I met Your Majesty. Your Majesty ordered me to go to Jiajia Village as soon as possible and find you. Together with Wang An, I will persuade you to enter the court. As for why Sima Zhao is the acting prime minister, I would like to ask Wang An to answer this matter for you."

"In fact, at the beginning, Your Majesty defeated Western Xia and Tubo, recovered Longyou, and returned triumphantly, ......." Wang An slowly said what happened that day to Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng was speechless for a long time after hearing this, no wonder Wang An would resign, if he also encountered such a thing, it is estimated that this choice is also made. The person who thought he had an arm, his own foundation, suddenly turned back, which is really chilling. What a Lu Qing, when I was in the Zhuangyuan Building, the first time I saw him, I knew that this person was a franchise, but I didn't expect to do such a big thing. However, Wang An finally let Lu Qing lift a stone and hit himself in the foot. As the saying goes: smart is wrong, smart is wrong. This is indeed a wise saying.

Wang An looked at Liu Sheng silently, as if he remembered something: "Before I came, Your Majesty explained that it was safe to do so." Your Majesty put the edict of dismissing Sima Zhao and worshiping you as the prime minister in the hands of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has always had a good impression of you, and this matter is appropriate."

"Your Majesty did not keep it a secret, so this matter was known to the whole court, so in private, all the officials called Sima Zhao the acting prime minister." Li Miao took Wang An's words and continued to explain to Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng avoided this topic, looked at Wang An and Li Miao and asked: "What is the situation of the Northern Expedition now, it can be beneficial to our dynasty."

"I fought in Western Xia, Tubo, and Jiaozhi, and the soldiers were already tired. On the contrary, the Liao State sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and recuperated for a long time. At this time, I suddenly went south, and I was naturally defeated." Thinking of this, Wang An shook his head, and a trace of worry emerged. Although it is said that there is no official and a light body, it is difficult to be truly indifferent.

Liu Sheng fell into contemplation again, and then smiled meaningfully: "You can live here for two months with peace of mind, let me think about it." At the same time, in order to reassure your hearts, I promise you that within two months, the Liao Kingdom will retreat."

"If the Liao State withdraws its troops within two months, it is not impossible to wait for you for two months. It's just that what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd, can you tell me about it, so that we can rest assured." Li Miao felt uncomfortable when she looked at Liu Sheng's smile, but when she heard that he didn't refuse directly, her heart fell into her stomach peacefully.

Wang An seemed to think of something, but he couldn't believe it: "Ten days ago, Zhao Jian and urged Huaiyuan to lead 20,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to go by boat, and they didn't know where they were, could it be ......."

"Ten days ago, Liu Ren sent a letter, saying that 80,000 sailors had returned to the army. Considering that Cochin had been settled, he wrote a letter asking me what to do. Since he was forced by His Majesty, he hung up on the two false positions of commander of the Shenji Battalion and Admiral of the Navy Division, for three years. If you don't fulfill your duties, isn't it a little unreasonable? So I asked Zhao Jian and Qi Huaiyuan to take the Shenji Battalion and the sailors under the command of Liu Ren to inspect the waters of Goryeo. Now that the war between our dynasty and the Liao State is unfavorable, then we will write a letter later, asking them to take these 100,000 troops to the Bohai Sea and directly attack the Liao State, so as to show the world their might." Liu Sheng smiled, listened to the sound of bamboo leaves shaking, and took Li Miao and Wang An to the house behind the bamboo forest and Zhou Bo. (To be continued.) )
