The sound of silk and bamboo ended perfectly under the beautiful dance of the stars and the moon, and the dancers surrounded the dancers in the light blue dress in the center, and just stopped. The officials did not dare to applaud and applaud, but looked at Liu Yu, who was sitting at the main table.

"Not bad." Liu Yu clapped his hands lightly, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

At this time, the officials below stretched out their smiles, and they smiled like blooming chrysanthemums. Some also applauded, and then the dancers dispersed, and the dancers who led the dance came over to pour wine for Liu Yu, only to find that Liu Yu's wine cup had not moved. Liu Yu drank a cup of wine when he was worshiping the Son of Heaven at the beginning, and then he didn't touch the wine and food, and watched the dance with dry eyes. Other officials drank while watching beautiful dance music.

The woman knelt beside Liu Yu a little timidly, and Hu Liangcheng below was about to get up to toast Liu Yu, but Liu Yu took the first step and said: "Hu Taishou has a good reputation in the direction of governance, and many ministers in the court have recommended you to become an official in the court." The county of Andau, which I passed through today, saw with my own eyes, and it was indeed so. The Son of Heaven went out on patrol this time in order to inspect whether the local people lived in peace after the war, and it seems that Hu Taishou made great contributions to the settlement of the Dashun Dynasty. Rare. ”

Faced with Liu Yu's praise, Hu Liangcheng said in fear: "Don't dare to be." ”

"Governing the place to serve the Dashun court, is it difficult to do a good job and not be praised?" Liu Yu looked at the other officials below, "What do you say?" ”

Listening to Liu Yudu's praise of Hu Liangcheng's political achievements, the others are Hu Liangcheng's subordinates, how can there be any reason not to say good things. Everyone said good things one after another, and Liu Yu still had a smile on his face.

"Hu Taishou, come and come. It also allows you to do your landlord's friendship. This king is not strong enough to drink. It looks like it's time to go back. Liu Yu got up and made it look like he was leaving, in fact, Liu Yu had a voice outside his words: You are greedy a lot, hurry up and take out some filial piety, I don't have time to break with you.

Hu Liangcheng was surprised, and said in his heart that this King Lin was really not easy to get along with, and after coming in, he only drank a glass of wine and said that he was not strong enough to drink, which was obviously not to give face. But it can't be said that he doesn't give face, otherwise Liu Yu doesn't need to compliment him. Even with his sophistication in dealing with people. was also a little caught off guard, he didn't know what Liu Yu's purpose was at all.

"Why should His Royal Highness be anxious, since you have entered the city and entered the night, it is not too late to stay in the city for a night and set off tomorrow."

Hu Liangcheng was a little anxious, and glanced at the dancer who got up next to Liu Yu and said, "Why don't you help His Royal Highness to go in and rest?" ”

The dancing girl hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Yu, but she was afraid of Liu Yu's might and did not dare to reach out to touch Liu Yu's clothes. It's just that Hu Liangcheng's tricks are a little old-fashioned, which makes Liu Yu feel disappointed. Originally, Liu Yu thought that Hu Liangcheng had some unique way.

Liu Yu's face only smiled without smiling, which made the officials present still uncertain. After the most reluctance, Liu Yu smiled and said: "Mrs. Hu is full of fists, it seems that this king is not easy to refuse." But ......"

Liu Yu said "but", and the hearts of officials, including Hu Liangcheng, rose again.

I only heard Liu Yu continue: "But this king's body is heavy, this girl's body is light, how can she move?" ”

Liu Yu's statement simply made the officials below feel ashamed, this is Liu Yu is dissatisfied with Hu Liangcheng only using a dancer to entertain him, and is ready to find a few more to go back.

Liu Yue's reputation for being lustful has been around for a long time, Hu Liangcheng has also investigated Liu Yu's actions in Chang'an City before, and he has only been married for two years, but he has a group of wives and concubines.

He didn't know until now that he had underestimated Liu Yu's appetite.

Hu Liangcheng understood this verse, and hurriedly instructed the dancing girl on the side: "How many of you, why don't you go over and help His Royal Highness to enter?" ”

Seeing that the dancers were all hugging him, Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand and said, "No need, just come here." Liu Yu pointed to the one that looked good, and then looked at Liu Dingdao, "General Liu, it seems that you can't go back today, so it's better for you to choose two at random, help you go inside for a night, and then set off with Luan tomorrow." How is it? ”

What Liu Yu said seemed to be an understatement, but Liu Ding's face was flushed with hot wine. He was a military general, and he was a family man, and the first time he came out to attend a banquet received by officials, he encountered such a tempting thing. Although he remembered Liu Zhao's confession and thought about his wife and children who were far away in Chang'an City, since Liu Yu proposed it to let him "feel free", he wanted to refuse, and he couldn't say anything when the words came to his mouth.

Liu Ding stayed there and did not move, Hu Liangcheng was a little surprised, and said in his heart How could there be such an unenlightened fool around King Lin, which was thinking that this family surnamed Liu would get such courtesy from Liu Yu, but he heard Liu Yu smile and said: "Hu Taishou forgive me, this is the brother of this king, and he is not very good at entertainment, and Hu Taishou is too hard." ”

When Hu Liangcheng heard that it was Liu Yu's brother, he immediately understood and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and entertain General Liu." ”

Immediately, a dancer leaned against Liu Ding, Liu Ding wanted to speak, but his eyes widened and he couldn't speak. Liu Yu hugged left and right and passed by Liu Ding's side, and laughed in a low voice: "Brother enjoy it slowly." ”

Liu Dingyi couldn't find a crack in the ground to get into.

Hu Liangcheng used a woman to corrupt Liu Yu, but Liu Yu preemptively used a woman to corrupt Liu Ding, who came to monitor him.

Liu Yue smiled and went to the inner hall, with a maid in front of him, and two dancing girls with beautiful colors and arts, this night should be happy. But Liu Yu didn't come to find a woman, he was helped into the brightly lit room by the dancing girl, the guards had already put the door under heavy martial law, Liu Yu entered the door, and the maid who led the way went to the bed in the inner room to spread the white handkerchief.

Liu Yu had already understood, broke free from the support of the two dancers, and sat down on a chair, and the two dancers didn't even care about tidying up their clothes, and hurriedly poured tea for Liu Yu.

Liu Yue took the teacup, but didn't drink it, the two dancers probably thought of the next thing, and the appearance of each of them bowing their heads in shame was also a little cute, Liu Yue saw that they were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and it was when they were in their prime, but they wanted to accompany him here because of their background, and they said that they had their own lives and were not reluctant.

"The two young ladies are really like fairies, I don't know what to call them?"

When Liu Yu spoke. The maidservant has already tidied up the back room. The guards also searched the house to make sure no one was hiding. Then the maidservant went out of the chamber with the maid in tow.

The dancer in the light blue dress replied shyly, "I ...... My name is Wan Ting. Be...... It's Lord Hu's...... daughter. ”

Liu Yu listened to her speak delicately and abnormally, and she couldn't speak clearly, and she didn't speak politely, not like everyone's young lady.

Liu Yu smiled: "Hu Taishou's daughter? …… Just recognized? ”

The dancer was startled, immediately fell to her knees, and said timidly: "Yes...... Yes, yesterday Hu Da said...... Recognize me as a righteous daughter, I don't mean to deceive the prince......"

Liu Yuchai also guessed that if it was Hu Liangcheng's daughter. Categorically would not be so rude in front of Liu Yu, calling himself "I" in his mouth, and calling his father "Master Hu". Obviously a small jasper who is afraid of the powerful and powerful.

Originally, Liu Yu was ready to go directly to Xuzhou City via Huaibei, and then cross the river to the south, but because of the spring rain and the delay of two days, Liu Yu temporarily decided to go to Antao County, where the legendary people lived and worked in peace and contentment. And in a hurry, Hu Liangcheng was obviously prepared to find a beautiful dancer to "honor" him.

As for Hu Liangcheng, he recognized this dancing girl as a goddaughter. It is clear that he wants to be Liu Yu's cheap father-in-law.

"Get up." Liu Yu stretched out his hand in front of Wan Ting, and Wan Ting trembled and stretched out her left hand. Let Liu Yu grab her hand and help her up.

Liu Yu looked at the other dancer who shrunk as if she was about to crumple up, and thought that this was called in by him on a temporary basis, so he didn't ask any more.

"Huanting, it's a good name." Liu Yu said in a casual tone, "Anyway, among the wives of this king, there is also one with the word Ting, is it okay for this king to call you Ting'er?" ”

Wan Ting said: "Usually my parents call me like this. ”

"Oh, it seems that you still have some relationship with this king." Liu Yu smiled faintly and continued, "Ting'er, you said that Hu Taishou ...... That is, your stepfather, is he usually a good official? ”

Wan Ting was shocked, and immediately her body was a little unstable, and she was about to kneel immediately, but Liu Yu grabbed her waist and let her sit on her lap. Being hugged by Liu Yu, Wan Ting's head was lowered, and she almost wanted to pull her head to her chest.

"Don't be afraid, to tell you the truth, you have also seen your father-in-law's attitude towards this king, even if you say bad things about him, no one will dare to say anything with this king."

"I ...... I dare not say. ”

Liu Yu thought to himself, such a girl was indeed too ruthless. Wan Ting's fear is very heavy, and she is a stranger, how dare she make a mistake in front of a stranger?

"Forget it, if you don't say it, don't say it, then your father-in-law asked you to bring something to this king?"

Wan Ting immediately remembered and said, "Yes, Master Hu...... The father-in-law prepared something and said let...... Let ......"

Wan Ting's head was lowered even lower, and her cheeks were also red and she couldn't speak. Liu Yu asked, "If you take it out, hurry up." ”

Wan Ting said aggrievedly: "My father-in-law didn't allow it, and said that when I asked the prince to undress Wan Ting...... You'll see ......"

Liu Yu originally thought that the girl was timid and couldn't say anything clearly, but it turned out to be because of shyness. Liu Yuxin said that this Hu Liangcheng really has a set, not only found such a pure and flawless dancer, but also prepared some small tricks to please him.

"This king allows you to take it out, Ting'er, you can do it yourself."

Wan Ting shook her head and said, "No...... Nope...... Father-in-law, he didn't allow Ting'er to touch ......"

"The king had to do it himself."

Liu Yu stretched out his An Lu claw and groped for Wan Ting's chest, and the girl was ashamed and had no one to rely on, so she had to drill into Liu Yu's arms. Wen Xiang was full of arms, Liu Yu smiled and reached out to touch it twice, and then touched a hard thing on Wan Ting's chest, like a notebook, which should be hidden in the small clothes.

"Where?" Liu Yu muttered.

Wan Ting said shyly: "In ...... In Ting'er's belly pocket......"

Liu Yu smiled, and said in his heart that this gift was hidden deep enough, and it was hidden in the dirty clothes, and it could only be found by stripping off all the clothes on the girl's upper body. Liu Yu stopped talking nonsense, let Wan Ting's shyness, took his hand out of her stomach, and took out a "notebook" tied to her dirty clothes with thread.

Liu Yu originally thought it was a silver ticket, but when he saw that it was just a small yellow book, he was a little unhappy.

It's a book sticker, but it's an antique from hundreds of years ago. The author, Liu Yu, has also heard of it. His name is Yun Shi. is a monk who has attained the Tao and is also a calligrapher, and the blood characters written by him have been hard to find at that time, and they are worth tens of thousands of taels until now.

Liu Yue sighed, corrupt officials are divided into big and small corruption, and bribery is also divided into vulgar bribery and elegant bribery. Needless to say, vulgar bribes are to send money, and in the counties and counties that Liu Yu passed by before, officials all gave them gold, silver or silver tickets. And they also knew that Liu Yu was walking with the new emperor and Xu Xuanzhu, the female general, so they didn't dare to stuff women around Liu Yu. Only this Hu Liangcheng is bold, he knows that he caters to Liu Yu's preferences, and he only sends books and stickers without falling into the hands of others, and when he looks back, he can also say that this is his "family heirloom", which is a gift rather than a bribe.

Although Liu Yu likes to read books, it is well known, but what he reads is "small bourgeoisie", that is, book reviews, and it is not a bloody thing like vassal elegance at all. And Liu Yu's main purpose of accepting bribes was to raise military expenses and take such a book. Although it is priceless, if you want to convert it into silver, you have to find an expert to sell it first?

Wan Ting saw that Liu Yu's face was cloudy after seeing the gift. I thought it was Liu Yu who was annoyed, and asked softly, "Father-in-law...... also asked Ting'er to ask when the prince got the gift...... Does the prince like it......

"Like, how can you not like it...... Well? ”

Liu Yu originally just said perfunctorily, but when he opened the book sticker, he found that there was something inside, it turned out to be gold and jade, and when he took it out of it, it was just a folded piece of paper, not a silver ticket, but a "dark ticket" with the imprint of Qianzhuang.

After the Commerce and Trade Department presided over by Sui Yu implemented the money bank nationwide, the money bank not only provided the business of exchanging silver bills and depositing and lending, but also provided the "bill of exchange" business similar to the bank, making an intermediate guarantee between the buyer and the seller, and the bill of exchange at this time was divided into "open bill" and "hidden bill", such a piece of paper, just like a check that could not see the amount, as long as it was taken to the bank, it could be exchanged for its original value.

In other words, this is the silver given to him by Hu Liangcheng, but how much money is this money, only when he takes this secret ticket to the money bank to check, he will know how to do it.

"Ting'er, do you know what this is?"

Wan Ting shook her head honestly and said, "My father-in-law only said that this was the dowry he gave to Ting'er......"

"What else your stepfather said, you can say it all at once, and you don't have to ask you intermittently to answer."

"Oh." Wan Ting was a little aggrieved and said, "My father-in-law also said that if the prince doesn't want to take Ting'er with him, he will raise Ting'er in the city, and when the prince passes by Andao City, Ting'er will come to serve the prince again." The father-in-law also said that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would send Ting'er to the capital......"

Liu Yuxin said that this Hu Liangcheng has a lot of tricks, send a woman here, it's not just a night, you have to raise him, there will be a follow-up story in the future, you can't take it off if you get wet, do you really think it's marrying a daughter?

Liu Yu comforted: "Your father-in-law is also thinking about your future. ”

Wan Ting was a little disappointed and said: "My father-in-law also said that if Ting'er does not serve the prince well, let Ting'er become a nun and never return to the world." ”

"How could it be bad?" Liu Yu touched Wan Ting's face and said with a smile, "This king is very satisfied, isn't he?" ”

Liu Yu let go of Huanting, stood up and went to the door, opened the door, and at this time, Cai Yingnu also came back after inquiring about the people's feelings. Liu Yu said: "Let's go, it's time to say goodbye to Hu Taishou." ”

The female guards all looked at Liu Yu with curious eyes, and their eyes seemed to question: "Uncle, you are doing things so fast?" ”

Liu Yu returned to the main hall, at this time Hu Liangcheng was sitting on the desk talking to his subordinates, and deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke so as not to be heard by the surrounding guards. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu went in and came out neatly dressed after a while.

"Your Royal Highness, you ...... But what's not satisfying? Hu Liangcheng cautiously stepped forward and asked.

"All this prepared by Hu Taishou, the king is very satisfied, Ha Luha, Hu Taishou's gift this king will also accept it with a smile." Liu Yu lifted the book sticker to Hu Liangcheng to see, Hu Liangcheng thought to himself that this thing was hidden under Wan Ting's little clothes, and since Liu Yu had already got it, he was indeed "very satisfied".

"This king remembered that he was going to accompany the emperor to enjoy the moon today, so he couldn't bother here, and he had to go back quickly." Liu Yu said, "But there is one more thing to trouble Hu Taishou, help find a place to raise the two girls today, this king may come back when and enjoy their beautiful dancing." ”

Hu Liangcheng saluted and said respectfully: "Your Highness has orders, and the ministers should do their best." ”

Liu Yu instructed the guards: "Call General Liu Bi and set off." ”

Liu Yue knew that Liu Ding at this time must not have been "happy", but he had to disturb him at this time, since he came at the same time, he had to leave at the same time, otherwise Liu Zhao would definitely suspect that Liu Ding was not doing his best outside. And Hu Liangcheng was very smart this time, and Liu Ding didn't have any gossip to pass it on to Liu Zhaozhi, but he himself had the handle to fall into Liu Yu's hands. Liu Yuxin said that this kind of "good thing" for socializing will also bring Liu Ding more in the future.

The Dingguo Marquis Mansion has a very strict family education, and the descendants of the Liu family are more wooden than the other, which is not a good thing.

Liu Yu went out with the guards first, Hu Liangcheng personally sent Liu Yu out of the city, and when he got out of the city, Liu Yu asked Cai Yingnu about the local evaluation of Hu Liangcheng's official reputation.

"From what his subordinates can see, the people dare to be angry but dare not speak."

"Ah, Guard Cai has done a better job of investigating the people's situation than those who have done a better job of supervising the imperial history." Liu Yu said with a smile, "It seems that in the future, if you take off this armor, you may be able to be a capable minister who governs the country." ”

Cai Yingnu is not as lively and active as Lu Chuer, on the contrary, she is very introverted and very cold to others.

The general laughed.

Liu Yu said with a smile while riding his horse: "I don't have time to deal with these corrupt officials on the evil side now, when the matter of Southern Xinjiang is resolved, go back and clean them up, so that they can also know that the prince of Dao Ma has three eyes." (To be continued......)
