Chapter 54 The palace banquet Liu Zhang's position

When Liu Zhang asked this, Liu Hong was embarrassed. Although Wang Meiren is also Liu Zhang's imperial sister-in-law, she is just a beauty! In ordinary people's homes, she is a concubine, no different from pigs, dogs, cows and horses, and the imperial sister-in-law in Liu Zhang's mouth can only be He Lingsi, unless Liu Hong straightens Wang Meiren. It's a pity that Liu Hong wanted to do this, and the civil and military officials would not agree, so Liu Zhang would not agree either! What's more, Liu Zhang knew that Wang Meiren had not threatened He Lingsi now, otherwise she would already be a dead person!

Liu Hong stared at Liu Zhang for a long time, and suddenly ordered Zhang Rang: "Go and call Queen He and Ben'er!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Rang knew that He Lingsi and Liu Hong were a little estranged during this time, and in the final analysis, it was because He Jin, an idiot, fell to the family. Now that Liu Zhang has entered Beijing, he has turned a blind eye to Wang Meiren, and Liu Hong has no opinion. Zhang Rang suddenly understood that with Liu Zhang's support, He Lingsi was about to turn over. Unless Liu Zhang is also an idiot like He Jin, he falls to the family. Unfortunately, this can never be!

Liu Zhang saw Liu Hong's reaction and understood that he had made the right bet. He said with a hippie smile: "Brother Huang, you also know that my brother was very close to his sister-in-law when he was a child. Now that the younger brother has finally come back, you actually want the younger brother to say that you invited the imperial sister-in-law to come, which really hurts the heart of the younger brother! ”

Liu Hong stood up with a wine glass and said, "It's me, come, I salute you, and make amends!" ”

"Slow down! Slow down! Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Brother Huang, if you want to say a glass to me, my brother will not refuse, after all, my brother has played our royal prestige in Youzhou." If you want to make amends, your brother doesn't dare to do it. Not to mention that you are the emperor, just say that you are my brother, and the courtiers will not accept your reparation! ”

Liu Hong laughed and said: "Then I will toast you, I hope that your kid will fight a few more majestic victories for me!" ”

Liu Zhang said: "When the emperor's brother has a life, and the Han is in chaos, the courtier's brother is duty-bound!" ”

"Good! This is the good son of the Liu family! Liu Hong said happily: "Brother Huang, I have something to discuss with you!" ”

"Brother Huang has something to say, why do you need to discuss?" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "My brother once said during military training that the first priority of a soldier is to obey orders and listen to commands. The order of the imperial brother, the subordinate brother naturally obeys unconditionally! ”

"It's not that serious!" Liu Hong said with a smile: "I just want you to stay in Luoyang to help me train my troops!" Those wastes in the Beijing camp, even the Yulin Army can't form combat effectiveness. I want to make you a general with five senses, responsible for training the Yulin Army, how about it? ”

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Yulin Jun is the imperial brother's personal guard, the imperial brother is giving me face!" How could I not carry it? It's just that the younger brother is worried that the family will make trouble. The imperial brother also knows that most of the officers in the Beijing camp and Yulin army today are the children of the family, if you want your subordinates to train an iron army, these people are definitely a problem! ”

"These people have no ability to fight, but they are good at making trouble!" Liu Hong groaned for a while; "Let it go, I will support you in everything!"

"Brother Chen, I'm waiting for your words!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "As long as the imperial brother supports it, the younger brother will be at ease!" ”

Liu Hong asked, "Then how are you going to arrange it?" ”

"Brother Huang, I'm going to let Huang Zhong go to Youzhou with my father, after all, there is no general in Youzhou to guard it, in case Karasuma comes to take revenge, it will be troublesome!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "As for me, with Zhang Ren, Huang Xu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Shi A, I have more than 10,000 elite soldiers, which is a piece of cake." ”

"Really?" Liu Hong really didn't believe it, although Liu Zhang defeated Karasuma, but in Liu Hong's heart, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan may have more credit. You must know that Liu Zhang and others are only thirteen or fourteen years old. If it is said that Dahan has a Huo Qu's disease, Liu Hong can still accept it. If there are four or five Huo Qu's diseases, don't the emperors of the past dynasties Yanjing have long eyes? But Liu Hong didn't know that Huang Zhong had a lot of credit for fighting Karasuma, but he didn't have anything to do with Yan Yan!

Facts speak louder than words, Liu Zhang shook his head and smiled: "Brother Huang, no matter how much you say, it's better to be realistic, please wait and see when the time comes!" Liu Zhang is so confident, of course Liu Hong will not pour cold water on him. Besides, Liu Hong really hopes that Liu Zhang can succeed, after all, in Liu Hong's heart, Liu Zhang is his cronie.

Just when Liu Hong and Liu Zhang were studying the issue of staying and going, He Lingsi came to the Xuan Room under the leadership of Zhang Rang. In He Lingsi's hand, he was still holding a little doll of five or six years old. When the queen came, everyone naturally got up and saluted. He Lingsi's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Zhang, and he said, "The champion of this dynasty, Hou, is back?" ”

"I've seen the imperial sister-in-law!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "I was called by the imperial brother when I arrived in Beijing today!" It's just that I didn't see the imperial sister-in-law, so I took the liberty to ask. ”

"You're the only one who remembers me now!" He Lingsi glanced at Liu Hong with some resentment, and Liu Hong's scalp suddenly became a little numb.

Liu Zhang can't make Liu Hong embarrassed, and he also knows that it is common for men to like the new and hate the old. As an emperor's woman, she must endure loneliness. Liu Zhang smiled: "The imperial sister-in-law said that she was laughing!" How can the royal brother not miss you? Imperial sister-in-law, the little baby next to you is my imperial nephew! ”

"Bian'er, and give a salute to the emperor's uncle?" He Lingsi knew that Liu Zhang couldn't say that the emperor was not, so he changed the topic very cleverly. However, this made it difficult for Xiao Liu.

Liu Zhisheng's surname is timid, it is rare to see so many outsiders today, he has already hidden behind He Lingsi. Now that He Lingsi was pulled out to salute, Xiao Liu trembled and stammered: "Worship... Meet... Emperor... Uncle Huang! ”

"Sister-in-law! The emperor's nephew is not bold, my Liu family wants to stand up to the sky! Liu Zhang said with a smile: "It just so happens that the imperial brother wants to leave me in Beijing, and let the little imperial nephew be closer to me in the future, I was only five years old at the time, but I was bold!" ”

"That's natural, if Uncle Huang stays in Luoyang, Zhu'er will naturally be closer to you!" He Lingsi was very smart, she immediately understood Liu Zhang's intentions, those beautiful big eyes kept shining on the side, and she was about to catch up with the flashlight!

"Shi A, Huang Xu! Go and bring me the meeting gift I prepared for my little nephew! "Since you want to support He Lingsi, you have to put pressure on Liu Hong. To be honest, Liu Zhang doesn't have a good impression of Wang Meiren. In his opinion, although He Lingsi is a little smart, he is not the kind of person who kills people for the sake of jealousy. The palace struggle has always been dark, and Liu Zhang naturally has to choose the advantageous side. He is familiar with history, so naturally he will not choose Wang Meiren.

Shi A and Huang Xu brought up a bunch of things, many of which Liu Zhang snatched in Wuhuan Mountain. Although Liu Bian has seen a lot of good things in the palace, it is very rare to look like foreign things. He looked at the toy in front of Liu Zhang, thinking about it, but also cringing a little. He Lingsi smiled: "Jie'er, that's your imperial uncle, don't hurry over, if the imperial uncle is angry, I won't give it to you!" ”

Liu Yan looked at his mother, and then at Liu Zhang, so he was bold and moved over step by step. Before he got the thing, Liu Zhang had already taken him into his arms. Liu Yan, who was originally very timid, said that he should cry, but who expected him to smile and smile sweetly at Liu Zhang: "Uncle Huang! ”

Liu Zhang was very happy, he put Liu Ban down and said, "Okay! Everything there's yours, take it and play with it! After speaking, Liu Zhang glanced at Wang Meiren from the corner of his eye, and saw that her eyes were full of poison when she looked at Liu Yan. Liu Zhang scolded secretly in his heart: What a woman who doesn't know life and death!

Liu Hong, who was sitting in the first place, didn't speak, and when he saw Liu Bian and Liu Zhang making love, he suddenly felt a little sour in his heart. Indeed, when it comes to age and background, Wang Meiren is much better than He Lingsi, but when it comes to beauty, there is not much difference between them. For the sake of a beauty, making his son closer to others than to himself, Liu Hong decided to pay more attention to Liu Bian in the future.

A palace banquet ended with Liu Zhang and others full of wine and food, if you have other thoughts in your heart, only Liu Hong and Wang Meiren. One of them felt that he had neglected his wife and children, and the other felt that it was time to make a move on Liu Yan, but He Lingsi raised his eyebrows.

Back to Zongzheng Mansion, of course, it has now been changed to Liu Mansion. Liu Zhang's three elder brothers have been waiting at home for a long time. After saluting Liu Yan and his wife, Liu Mao and Liu Dan smiled and said: "I thought that the eldest brother inherited his father's title and should be the first one among us to be a marquis, but I didn't expect the fourth brother to be named a champion marquis at the age of thirteen, and now only the two of us have no title!" ”

"It's not easy for the second brother and the third brother to want a knighthood?" Liu Zhang smiled: "I will have merit in the future, and I will try to hang on you as much as possible." The liehou didn't dare to think about it, but at least he could mix one pavilion marquis! ”

"Is that true? The fourth brother can't make fun of his brothers! Liu Mao and Liu Dan's eyes became bright, staring at Liu Zhang without blinking.

Liu Zhang smiled: "It's serious! As the saying goes: fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. Now that my credit is big enough, no matter how big it is, I will be able to do it! Since I want to give credit to others, I ask my brothers, who else is worthy of me to give credit to you? As for Zilong and Yide, as long as I make meritorious contributions, can I still miss them? ”

Not only Liu Dan and Liu Mao laughed, but even Liu Yan also laughed. As the saying goes: fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers! Liu Zhang can take care of his brother like this, even if Liu Yan dies, he can be blind.

Sending Liu Dan, Liu Mao, and Liu Fan away, Liu Yan called Liu Zhang to the study, and he was very puzzled by Liu Zhang's performance in the palace today. In Liu Yan's opinion, even if Liu Zhang wants to support Liu Bian and Queen He, he doesn't need to have a bad relationship with Wang Meiren.

Looking at Liu Yan with a puzzled face, Liu Zhang suddenly smiled and said: "Father, in politics, you are much more sophisticated than me, but in terms of looking at people, you are not as good as me." Today it's not that I'm going to have a bad relationship with Wang Meiren, but that I have to be good friends with Queen He! If I don't make a clear statement, in the heart of Your Majesty, my status will drop a lot! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Yan is an old fox in politics, and Mingzhe is his forte. With his surname, he is more conservative than enterprising. At this time, Liu Zhang needs to keep forging ahead.

I saw Liu Zhangyao head and said: "Don't look at Your Majesty's love for Wang Meiren, it's just a whim, in fact, Your Majesty is still a person who attaches great importance to feelings." If I alienate Empress He because she fell out of favor, then the emperor will be worried, if I see Li, will he forget his righteousness! ”
