Chapter 608: Don't give in

When Liu Xiu rushed to the Queen Mother's tent to ask for a meeting, the Queen Mother was sitting and gossiping with Liu He. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu He was by the side of the Queen Mother, like a docile kitten, with a happy smile on her face, as soon as she heard that Liu Xiu was coming, she immediately got up, like a happy butterfly flew out, and saw Liu Xiu standing respectfully outside the tent waiting, she laughed and pounced, and put her arms around Liu Xiu's neck and swinged.

"Daddy, you're so fast."

"Let it go, in front of the Queen Mother's account, it's not at home." Liu Xiu said seriously, but with a smile on his face, he reached out and slapped his daughter's buttocks, squeezing his eyes: "How is that kid?" Did you show you the face? ”

"No, but I scolded me, I was not in a good mood, and I didn't come out of the tent for a day." Liu He embarrassedly buried his face in Liu Xiu's arms and said with a grin.

"That's how it should be." Liu Xiu nodded happily, and as soon as he saw the Empress Dowager Song walking out, he hurriedly let go of his daughter and asked the Empress Dowager Song to say goodbye solemnly. Empress Dowager Song accepted the salute very casually, pulled Liu He to her side, and quipped: "The hussar general came so quickly, I'm afraid it's not because of the edict, but because of your daughter, right?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled: "The little girl has been wrongly loved by the Queen Mother since she was a child, and now that she is by the Queen Mother's side, what do I have to worry about." ”

"Really?" Empress Dowager Song straightened out Liu He's messy hair on his sideburns and said with a smile: "But Ah He is by my side, but I always can't leave her father, and in the past two days, my ears are full of hussar generals' love for his daughter, which makes me so envious." ”

"The Queen Mother is serious, and the ministers dare not be ashamed." Liu Xiu smiled modestly: "It's just that the little girl is stubborn, and she has recently been contaminated with some wildness in the army." Don't bump into the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, otherwise the minister will really die. ”

"It's okay, I'm in the army now. It's really boring to be accompanied by someone to do without a heart, and the hussar general doesn't mind. Just let your daughter stay with me for a few more days. ”

"Dare to disobey." Liu Xiu laughed. The word daughter is only used to describe the son in this era, the so-called son of the daughter, who can't sit down, and the daughter is not so valuable. Like him, who raised his daughter as a son, probably only Cai Yong. The daughter was something he occasionally talked about with Liu He. Probably Liu He couldn't help but be proud and showed off to the Queen Mother.

After gossiping with the Queen Mother for a while, Liu Xiu returned to the camp. It stands to reason that he should go to see the Son of Heaven now, but the Queen Mother did not say it explicitly, but only said that the Son of Heaven had been under too much pressure in the past two days and his mood was not very stable. There may be some disrespect in the attitude, and please forgive the hussar general. Liu Xiu didn't say much, he returned to the tent, announced that he was closed, and did not see any guests who came to see him.

"Behind closed doors?" When Xiao Tianzi heard these four words. Dumbfounding. "What sin to be treated?"

Yang Xiu shook his head and explained. The reason why the hussar general came so quickly, according to his own words, was that he had heard that some ministers had slandered in front of His Majesty, saying that he had a self-respecting army and a disobedient heart, so he put down his army and came to listen to His Majesty's punishment. He also asked His Majesty to arrange someone to receive his army, so that he could return to the country after disarming his armor, be his prince of Chu in peace and stability, and live his rich life.

Xiao Tianzi sneered: "Do you believe it?" ”

Yang Xiu was silent, and he believed in it. Liu Xiu really wants to ask for guilt, why bring two thousand steps to ride? His 2,000-step cavalry is all elite, not to mention anything else, Guan Yu's 300 heavy armor soldiers are simply people blocking and killing, and gods blocking and killing gods. He only brought fifty men to break through Xincai City. Now that Liu Xiu lives next to the imperial camp, the nervousness is not Liu Xiu, but the Son of Heaven, if Liu Xiu suddenly gets angry, Guan Yu and his three hundred heavy armor soldiers can almost kill into the imperial tent of the Son of Heaven in the blink of an eye. As for his army, who has the power to receive his subordinates right now? It is guaranteed that one will die one, and two will die a pair, and it will not be unexpected to mutiny.

The reason why Liu Xiu put on this posture is actually very simple, that is, to force the Son of Heaven to give an explanation and bow to him. Ministers? He didn't know that it was the Son of Heaven himself who was suspicious of him.

Will the Son of Heaven bow to him? Yang Xiu felt that this was impossible. Although the Son of Heaven is young, he has long adapted to the identity of the emperor, does the emperor need to bow to others? The emperor doesn't need to apologize for killing the wrong person, let alone just suspicion, and Liu Xiu's actions can't make people not suspicious.

It's just that the situation is pressing, what can you do if you don't bow your head?

"I'm going to see him." Xiao Tianzi stood up, dusted off his clothes, and walked out under the surprised eyes of Yang Xiu and the others. Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased out: "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate." ”

"What's inappropriate?" Xiao Tianzi laughed, although he smiled a little reluctantly, but he was righteous and awe-inspiring. "In order to pacify the Chu State, didn't the First Emperor personally go to the home of the general Wang Jian to admit his mistake? It was I who made the hussar general wronged, and now I also go to confess my mistake to him, so that he can break through the peace as soon as possible and return the world to peace. ”

Yang Xiu opened his mouth, and he didn't say anything more, his heart said that your analogy is not appropriate, Qin Shihuang is not a good example, although he did have the style of a wise monarch to confess to Wang Qian. He hurriedly beckoned Zhou Yu and the others to come together, Zhou Yu didn't think so much as Yang Xiu, he said to Xiao Tianzi: "Your Majesty sits on the world, has the capacity to accommodate people, and the ministers admire." ”

Xiao Tianzi sighed secretly, and said in his heart, I don't dare to let my biological father kneel in front of me and fold my life. I had no choice but to pretend to be Corporal Lixian.

Liu Xiu meditated in the tent, and heard that the Son of Heaven came to see him in person, and he was not good enough to close the door and thank the guests, so he asked the Son of Heaven to enter the tent. When the Son of Heaven entered the tent, he saw Liu Xiu wearing loose hair and loose clothes, sitting cross-legged in the tent, with a glass lamp lit in front of him. The glass lamp must have just been lit, because there was not a single smell of fireworks in the tent.

It seems that he has thought about it behind closed doors, but when he saw the Son of Heaven entering the account, Liu Xiu did not mean to get up to greet him, but just sat there quietly and looked at the little Son of Heaven, although there was no arrogance on his face, he could not see any sincerity in asking for guilt. Xiao Tianzi was in a trance for a while, as if he had returned to his childhood, he made a mistake, Liu Xiu just sat quietly like this, waiting for him to take the initiative to admit his mistake.

Alas, it seems that he still thinks I am wrong, and is waiting for me to admit my mistake. Xiao Tianzi sighed. Respectfully bowed: "Disciple to meet sir." "According to the etiquette of the disciple's apprenticeship, he salutes one by one. His Mr. Wen is Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi is a person who talks about etiquette. In this regard, he has done an impeccable job.

Liu Xiu looked at Xiao Tianzi quietly and watched Xiao Tianzi kneel in front of him. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He raised his hand: "Your Majesty, please be seated." ”

"Mr. Xie."

"I heard that before the death of the first emperor, he left His Majesty two important treasures for governing the country, I don't know if Your Majesty still remembers?"

Xiao Tianzi was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Remember." One is the "Han Feizi" handwritten by the first emperor, and the other is an imitation jade seal of a stone seal carried by the first emperor. ”

"Do you know the inscription of that lithograph?"

"I know, it is the Taoist Lao Tzu who said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh."

"Do you know where this stone seal came from?"

Xiao Tianzi shook his head blankly. He was still young at that time, and he only knew that this stone seal was carried by the first emperor. never left his body, and finally buried with him, but he didn't know where he came from.

"It was handmade by me and presented to the first emperor." Liu Xiu raised his head and looked at Xiao Tianzi quietly: "Your Majesty has been playing with him for many years, and finally turned the stone seal into a jade seal and solemnly handed it over to Your Majesty, doesn't Your Majesty still understand the meaning?" ”

Xiao Tianzi blinked. pondered the meaning of Liu Xiu and the meaning of the first emperor. He knew what this sentence meant, and he also understood what the first emperor meant by handing this over to him, but he didn't understand what Liu Xiu meant when he asked about it now.

"Please sir."

"It seems that you have not really comprehended Your Majesty's mind." Liu Xiu sighed softly: "It's not your fault, it's not the first emperor's fault, it's my fault." At the beginning, you should have been asked to go to the kitchen of the Tai Chi Taoist Hall to help out for a few days and cook Xiao Xian by yourself, but you wouldn't understand it now. ”

Xiao Tianzi frowned, he knew that the word separation was Liu Xiu's originality, and the so-called separation refers to the fact that people are half-baked in learning, between passing and not understanding. If you can cross this step, you will truly enter the realm of Yuantong and unhindered, and if you can't cross this level, you will only be an ordinary person after all.

Let me go grill small fish? Xiao Tianzi secretly smiled bitterly.

"The first emperor was very clever and wise, but it was a pity that he knew it too late and was unable to return to heaven. Your Majesty is still young, you should study hard, accumulate thick and thin, and do not follow in the footsteps of Your Majesty. ”

Xiao Tianzi pursed his lips secretly, but his mouth replied respectfully: "Oh." ”

"Originally, I wanted to treat the Yuan family as Xiaoxian and let His Majesty try his craft. Now it seems a bit rushed. Your Majesty, how about you please let your ministers demonstrate to Your Majesty? ”

"Sir...... Does it mean the attack on the peace? ”

"Yes, and it's not just." Liu Xiu's tone was flat and calm: "If Your Majesty learns fast enough, then Yuan Shao is Your Majesty's Xiaoxian." ”

"What if the disciple is stupid and does not progress as much as Mr. expected?"

"Then I have to show Your Majesty again, and then find another Xiaoxian for Your Majesty to try."

"Dare to ask sir, if the Yuan family is all Xiaoxian, what is bigger in the world than the Yuan family?" Xiao Tianzi's voice became cold, and he raised his head and looked at Liu Xiu, with irrepressible anger in his eyes.

Liu Xiu didn't speak, lowered his head, and slowly rubbed his fingers, ignoring Xiao Tianzi's gaze that was about to breathe fire. After a while, when Xiao Tianzi was depressed, he laughed softly: "The world is big, the Yuan family is just a little Xian at best, if Your Majesty wants to show his strength, there are big fish." ”

Xiao Tianzi protested: "Is Sir going to teach me to be a reckless emperor?" I really don't dare to be. ”

"Not really. I don't know what I can do, and I do my best to conquer the world, that is to be a reckless army, if you do what you can, it is to cross the four seas, and there are eight poles, and what does it have to do with reckless warfare? Liu Xiu smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, what kind of hero is a husband who should have the world in mind and live on his ancestral business?" ”

Xiao Tianzi laughed angrily: "Then please ask Mr. to cook Yuan Kui's small fish first, so that the disciple can learn from it." ”

"It's nature." Liu Xiu nodded unyieldingly: "Please wait and see, Your Majesty." ”

"I wonder how long it will take for the gentleman to succeed?" Xiao Tianzi couldn't help but ask.

"Well...... this" Liu Xiu muttered slightly: "There is still more than a month to go before the autumn harvest, so solve him before the autumn harvest, and then harvest with peace of mind." ”

Xiao Tianzi bit his lip and sulked for a long time: "Then I'll wait and see." ”
