"You..." Liu Hong was a little ridiculous, and he couldn't help asking: "Is Xie'er so unbearable, you would rather go away to avoid trouble than support him?" ”

"It's not that Xie'er is unbearable, it's really that the younger brother doesn't dare to joke about the Han's Jiangshan Sheji!" Liu Zhang said solemnly: "Brother Huang, a good successor can bring vitality to the Han Dynasty. Xie'er is only six years old this year, if the imperial brother can promise his younger brother that Xie'er will be a good emperor in the future, the younger brother will support him as the crown prince! ”

"This..."Liu Hong shook his head and said, "I can't!" ”

"Neither can my brother!" Liu Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "If the imperial brother chooses Xie'er and defeats the Han family in the future, it will be the imperial brother's business." To put it irreverently, although the younger brother is also a clan member of the Han family, after all, it is a side branch, this Han world belongs to the imperial brother, the imperial brother can defeat it, but the younger brother cannot, because the younger brother is not qualified! Therefore, the matter of electing the prince for the Han Dynasty, the ministers and younger brothers are not eligible to participate. If the royal brother and the queen mother insist on the participation of the ministers, and the ministers have to go away, they will resign, and the ministers will not participate! ”

"The emperor's brother is really a loyal man!" Liu Hong sighed and said, "That's it! I've agreed to you going to the state! However, you have to wait two months before leaving, or are you going to let me go to Bingzhou for your wedding? ”

"Thank you for remembering the royal brother, the younger brother also plans to do so! It's just..."Liu Zhang touched his nose a little embarrassed, Liu Hong saw this, how could he not understand.

Liu Hong rolled his eyes and said, "Stinky boy, are you beating around the bush here?" The state is poor, and there are often foreigners who invade the country, and no fool is willing to spend money to go. I originally wanted to send a Han clan member over, but no one was willing to worry about me, and I was also having a headache about the candidate for the state pastor! ”

"Your Majesty said it earlier! The younger brother is definitely willing to share his majesty's worries! Liu Zhang patted his chest and made a heroic gesture.

"Alas!" Liu Hong was moved to put a hand on Liu Zhang's shoulder and said: "The Manchu Dynasty both civil and military food Hanlu, only the emperor's brother is loyal to the monarch and the country, how can you make me embarrassed?" ”

"Your Majesty is ridiculous!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "It is everyone's responsibility to protect the big man." The younger brother is a relative of the Han family, so of course the responsibility is greater. As the saying goes: those who can work harder. Doesn't Your Majesty think that your courtiers are very capable? ”

Liu Hong laughed and said, "That's quite capable!" The only hero in the world is Liu Zhang, Liu Jiyu, too! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare! No matter how capable he is, he is still the younger brother of the royal brother, how dare he call the word hero! Liu Zhang hurriedly made a modest gesture, which made Liu Hong laugh again.

Leaving the palace, Liu Zhang's heart let go of the big stone. In order to prevent any further changes before going to the state, he was ready to take the beauties around him to go outing.

Back at Liu's Mansion, Liu Zhang found Cai Yong. Although Cai Yan is already Liu Zhang's fiancée, after all, she has not yet married, so it is inappropriate to take her out to play like this. Of course, this is for Cai Yong's sake. Otherwise, with Liu Zhang's modern surname, he can do the thing of getting on the boat first and buying tickets later!

Cai Yong had long heard that the palace was in full swing, and he also wanted to persuade Liu Zhang to avoid the limelight. Now the people under the emperor who hold the military power are Liu Zhang and He Jin, He Jinsheng has many soldiers, and Liu Zhangsheng has strong soldiers!

Listening to Liu Zhang's intentions, Cai Yong was very satisfied, no one wants his relatives to be idiots. But when Liu Zhang proposed to take Cai Yan out to play, Cai Yong's brows furrowed fiercely, because of ancient customs, men and women cannot meet before marriage.

Cai Yong's move to Liu Zhang's house has been criticized, and if his daughter goes out with Liu Zhang without a name or a point, his face will be embarrassed, but Cai Yong doesn't want to let go of the opportunity to let his daughter get close to Liu Zhang. After hesitating for a long time, Cai Yong felt that his face was not as important as his daughter's happiness, so he waved his hand and said: "Zhao Ji is already your wife, whatever you want, don't bother me with these things!" ”

After Cai Yong finished speaking, he turned around very gorgeously and threw Liu Zhang there, and Liu Zhang looked at Cai Yong's back a little inexplicably. However, Liu Zhang knew that Cai Yong agreed.

Coming to the small courtyard, Liu Zhang announced his decision to the four daughters. The four girls were young and fun-loving, and when they heard that Liu Zhang was going to take them out to play, they were naturally very excited. But Cai Yan was a little hesitant, Liu Zhang smiled and told her Cai Yong's decision, and she smiled with relief.

Liu Zhang bought three carriages, one for sundries and dry food, and two as a car for several women, and then he transferred five hundred elites from the camp in Bishan as guards, and ordered Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Shi A to accompany them.

When he was ready, Liu Zhang told Liu Hong about the trip, and Liu Hong understood his thoughts, so he stopped blocking him and hoped that he would have fun. Then Liu Zhang went to Jianzhang Palace to say hello to Queen He, who was very envious when she heard that he was going to take his wife out to play. You must know that He Lingsi has been in the palace for more than ten years, and in the past ten years, she has not even left the palace gate. However, He Lingsi knew that this was her fate, and if there were no special circumstances, she would never want to leave the palace for half a step in her life.

He Lingsi quickly let go of the envy in her heart, and she carefully told Liu Zhang. The words such as paying attention to safety and being careful of catching a cold made Liu Zhang's heart flow a trace of warmth. Even He Lingsi was very dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's only five hundred guards to go out to play, in her opinion, Liu Zhang should bring at least a thousand people, the Han is too chaotic now, there are homeless people, yellow turbans, and bandits, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if!

Liu Zhang didn't like to worry about the people around him the most, seeing He Lingsi like this, Liu Zhang whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, sister-in-law!" I have 500 men, and I can use them as 2 or 3,000! ”

One sentence shocked He Lingsi, and He Lingsi's eyes looking at Liu Zhang were also a little strange. However, Liu Zhang's skin became thicker and thicker, and he didn't see He Lingsi's hot eyes.

As soon as Liu Zhang left, Cai Yong moved back to Cai's mansion. There were not many people in the Liu Mansion in Luoyang, except for a few servants who sprinkled and cleaned, there were only a few daughters in Liu Zhang's small courtyard. When Liu Yan left, those servants were all brought to Yizhou, and Liu Zhang didn't like to use servants and maids. In addition, the three daughters of Xiao Qiao and Zhang Ning would rather work hard by themselves than share Liu Zhang with a few more women, so Liu Zhang's small courtyard has never increased the number of servants. After Liu Zhang left, there were a few servants left in the Liu Mansion, and Cai Yong was not happy to live.

"Lord!" As soon as Liu Zhang came out of the Luoyang City Gate, another carriage came rushing behind him. Take a closer look, it turned out to be Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia.

"Why are you here?" Liu Zhang looked surprised.

"The lord is not righteous!" Guo Jia said with a disappointed face: "I don't call Guo when I go out to play!" ”

Liu Zhang smiled: "I took my wife to play, what are you going to follow?" ”

"Aren't they following that dragon?" Guo Jia looked unconvinced.

Liu Zhang shook his head and smiled: "Aren't you arguing with strong words?" Zilong, they are naturally guards! ”

"Jia can give advice to the lord!" Guo Jia tilted his head, looking proud.

Liu Zhang asked very suspiciously: "Fengxiao, I'm going out to play, this also needs to be planned?" ”

Guo Jia said softly in Liu Zhang's ear: "If the lord falls in love with a young lady on the road, Jia can naturally plan a plan or two for you, and can also drag a few housewives!" ”

"Ahem... Cough! Liu Zhang coughed violently and said, "Okay, you Guo Fengxiao, you actually tricked me like this!" Since you're here, even if I drive you back, you probably won't leave. Anyway, it's only been more than a month, and I can rest assured that the camp will be handed over to Hansheng, so let's go and have fun together! ”

"Then thank you, my lord!" Guo Jia had a thief smile on his face, which made Liu Zhang speechless.

The group went to the south, and Liu Zhang knew that once he took office and was the assassin of the state, he would not be able to go to the south for at least ten years. Of course, Liu Zhang didn't want to go to Jiangdong, but wanted to try his luck in the Huainan area of Yuzhou, and take a look at Qiao Xuan by the way, after all, Qiao Xuan is also his father-in-law.

Now Qiao Xuan is nearly seventy years old, and he is unable to reconcile the disputes in the court, so he returned to his hometown Lujiang Wancheng to live in seclusion. In ancient times, it was rare for a person to live past the age of fifty, and God knows when the seventy-year-old Qiao Xuan went. Although Xiao Qiao is called a maid, Liu Zhang doesn't want his women to have regrets.

The addition of Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai made Liu Zhang's fleet more and more large. However, this also has benefits, and those thieves who don't open their eyes don't dare to make trouble. Cai Yan's daughters are all going out for the first time, and they are all very excited, even the most stable Cai Yan also stretches his cute little head out of the carriage from time to time, enjoying the not beautiful scenery on the side of the road.

Liu Zhang's convoy headed for Lujiang, and there were some hungry thieves on the road who came to disturb them, and most of them were petty thieves. Women are always soft-hearted, sometimes seeing the pitiful appearance of those thieves who steal things, Cai Yan and others actually gave them the food in the bag, and Liu Zhang had to replenish dry food every time he met villages and towns. However, Liu Zhang is not in a hurry, he can still afford this amount of money and food, but Cai Yan and the girls are quite embarrassed.

"Sir!" In the Qiao family's mansion in Lujiang Wancheng, Qiao Xuan was reading, and the old housekeeper of the Qiao family knocked on his door.

Qiao Xuan opened the door and saw the old housekeeper's happy face, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

"Master, there's a letter from Luoyang!" The old housekeeper took out a letter and handed it to Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan opened it and looked at it, and he was also happy.

"Take it!" Seeing the old housekeeper's eagerness, Qiao Xuan handed over the letter.

The old housekeeper and Qiao Xuan's master and servant for decades naturally knew Qiao Xuan's surname, and he took the letter and immediately smiled: "It turns out that my uncle and young lady are coming, no wonder the messenger from Luoyang is in such a hurry." Look, sir..."

"Do you still need to ask? Hurry up and prepare! Qiao Xuan actually admires Liu Zhang very much, otherwise he would not agree to his daughter being Liu Zhang's maid, even if Liu Zhang saved his son.

"Hey! I'll go—" The old butler turned to leave.

"Wait!" Qiao Xuan said with a smile: "Send a competent person to Shucheng to tell Zhou Yi that the champion Hou is coming!" ”

"Got it!" The old butler answered and hurried to do something.

Qiao Xuan turned around and went back to the house, he sat on the chair and sighed: "Liu Zhang, this kid, still has some conscience..."
