Liu Cun pondered for a while, slowly stood up, bypassed the edge of the fire pond in the center, came to the front of the twenty-two-year-old Yizi, gently helped the Yizi with tears on his face, stared at his red eyes and asked word by word: "What you just said is what you said in your heart?" ”

"Yes father, that's exactly what the child is talking about!"

Liu Zhen quickly wiped away his tears and said with a pleading face:

"Father, the child had this idea three years ago, and I always kept imagining in my heart, what did the lychee longan, banana and pineapple that my father said look like? I always want to see it with my own eyes and taste it with my own mouth! ”

"In May last year, our fleet returned safely from Panyu, Jiaozhou, and the child finally saw the brown sugar and sugarcane that his father said were sweeter than honey, although it was only a small bundle of half-dried sugarcane, and it was only a small section in the hands of the child, but the child finally understood that everything that his father said to the child before was as incredible as a dream is real!"

"Father, the child has no other dreams in this life, just want to take the long-distance warship built by himself, and go to Tianzhu, Persia, Rome, Spain, Britain, North and South America and other places that his father said to have a look, father, you promise the child!"

Liu Cun was stunned, looked at the complicated faces around him, and finally slowly pulled up his son Liu Zhen: "As long as you can promise me a condition, I will agree to your request!" ”

Liu Zhen knelt down again: "The child is willing to die for his father!" ”

Liu Cun's nose was sour, tears welled up in his eyes, he raised his head and looked up at the roof beam for a while, sighed and slowly lowered his head, under the extremely worried gaze of everyone. Say your own terms:

"For ten years, you are not allowed to leave Yizhou! As long as you agree to this condition. No matter what the price I pay, I will ask the current emperor and the court. Seal you as the Taishou of Yizhou, and seal the general of Zhenhai! ”

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Liu Zhen didn't understand why the restriction lasted for ten years? He stared at his father blankly, wanting to ask for forgiveness, but he didn't know how to speak.

The old lady Taishi couldn't help but stand up, pulled Liu Zhen over, and persuaded with tears in her eyes:

"Zhen'er, don't you still understand your father's good intentions? What he means is, it's not enough for you to have a wife. You have to have children to be a real man...... When you become a father and have a successor, he will be more at ease with you! ”

"Father...... Promise the child! Father, the child agreed......"

Liu Zhen hugged Liu Cun's legs and cried, seeing that the whole house was extremely sad, and couldn't help the underflow of tears, choking up.

Dead. Liu Cun's study was still brightly lit, and Gongsun Pei, Guoyuan, and Zhao Rong gathered around the warm charcoal ash, drinking tea and enlightening Liu Cun, who was depressed.

The three of them said a lot of good things, but Liu Cun still didn't have any spirit.

Gongsun Pei was annoyed. immediately lowered his face and asked in a low voice: "Lord, I know that you are still blaming us in your heart for having nothing to do." But isn't that what we should do? ”

"Everyone knows that the lord regards the eldest prince as his own. He has never scolded the eldest son, and he cares for and cares for him. Teach your amazing talents to the eldest son, and cultivate the eldest prince into a handsome man who can write and martial arts, and have noble morals, and at the same time place great hopes on the eldest prince......"

"However, does the lord understand the feelings of the eldest prince in his heart?"

"Feelings? Could it be ...... Zhen'er?" Liu Cun suddenly understood.

Zhao Rong and Guo Yuan both breathed a sigh of relief, and Gongsun Pei's face also regained a calm and calm expression: "Presumably the lord has realized it, it is indeed the case!" The eldest son of the lord Liu Ze will be six years old, the second son Liu Song has entered the age of four, and now the eldest daughter has fallen to the ground, and the second lady has also shown her pregnancy, the Qingzhou military and the people and our subordinates are deeply fortunate, the lord and grandson are prosperous and have successors, we are all down-to-earth and stable, in such a situation, the lord thinks about it, what is the feeling of the eldest son? ”

"What's more, the eldest prince really wants to go out and make contributions, and sincerely go to open up the territory for the lord and shepherd one side, why is the lord reluctant? Yizhou is far away from the world to outsiders, but for my Qingzhou navy and caravan, it is just a few days of sailing, why is the lord worried? ”

"Could it be that the lord is worried about Zhen'er's ability and is not qualified to be the Taishou of a wild island? Take 10,000 steps back, even if Zhen'er can't do it, doesn't she still have the lord and my powerful Qingzhou as the backing? ”

Seeing that Liu Cun gradually accepted the facts, Guoyuan happily revealed to Liu Cun: "The lord doesn't have to worry about the ability and prestige of the eldest prince, my subordinates have heard that many young generations want to follow the eldest prince to the end of the world, open up territory for my Han dynasty, travel all over the world to show the prestige of my Han dynasty, and achieve a great cause that no one else can reach!" ”

"What's more, now there are 30,000 soldiers and civilians in Keelung City in Yizhou, half a year ago the large military port was completed and put into use, two iron mines and a coal mine are about to be put into operation, rare timber and exotic flowers and fruits are all over the mountains, and the fields and roads have been opened to the plain fifty miles to the south, and the doctors and craftsmen have also found a good way to deal with miasma and malaria. In time, it will be a paradise comparable to Langya! ”

Zhao Rong followed to join in the fun: "The lord's in-laws, Mr. Song, the head of Mengxue Mountain, will take his family to follow his son-in-law to Yizhou to open a school, inherit and educate, my second son and the eldest son's group of partners will also follow the eldest son, and the Zhushan Water Military Camp composed of orphans under the command of the eldest prince will definitely follow, there are many people who want to go to Yizhou, just see how many big ships the lord can give the eldest son!" ”

"There are not many others in Yizhou, that is, there are many mountains and trees, the soil is fertile, and the rice is planted twice a year, maybe in two years, the eldest prince will be able to build warships and send boatloads of rice for the lord, haha!"

Liu Cun shook his head slightly: "But...... I always feel indebted to Zhen'er, and he's still too young, I'm worried! ”

"May I ask if the lord is twenty-two years old, can he be more famous than the eldest prince now?" Gongsun Pei unceremoniously asked, which made Guoyuan laugh, and Zhao Rong also opened his mouth and was so happy.

Liu Cun smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, spare me, alas! It seems to be nerve-wracking, the original plan was to gradually take Yizhou Island in five years, but now Zhen'er suddenly wants to pass, how can he prepare the corresponding officials, weapons and equipment, and various tools and medicinal materials for him, and the immigration and trade plan will also be changed, not easy! ”

Zhao Rong disagreed: "The lord thinks too much...... In fact, it is very simple, just prepare enough various tools and medicinal materials for the eldest prince, give the eldest prince a copy of the full set of regulations of the Qingzhou New Deal and the "Great Han Law" that he does not dare to implement after the revision, and then give a fleet and two thousand cavalry! ”

"Don't despise the eldest prince and the group of young people who follow him, more than 20 of them are protégés of the lord for more than half a year, and after several years of training, in addition to the experience and experience, other aspects will not be worse than us old guys."

Gongsun Pei very much agreed with Zhao Rong's statement: "Yande is right, young man, why do you restrain so much? Isn't the lord also just turning thirty? ”

Zhao Rong and Guoyuan laughed loudly, Liu Cun had no choice but to compromise, sent the three initiators away in a few words, and lay alone on the rocking chair by the fire pond in a daze for a long time.
