When Liu Yu entered the courtyard, he saw that although the small courtyard was not big, there were many rooms, and the courtyard was neat and tidy, and there were clothes of various colors hanging on the clothesline. The woman waved her hand, and Sima Xuan'er's sister hurriedly went to put away her clothes.

"His Royal Highness the King is coming, the concubine is not far away, please forgive me." The woman was well-mannered and bowed.

"Huh?"

Liu Yu didn't react well for a while, "did he miss the distance"? Is this forgetting to be pestering outside just now? This is selective amnesia!

"Aunt is polite, today I came to marry Xuan'er, it is a family, speaking of which, my aunt is still my elder."

The woman glanced at Liu Yu, and her expression seemed to say, "You know each other." ”

The woman welcomed Liu Yu into the inner room, and when she entered the door, she found that the hall of the Sima family was also very narrow, because there were many women and children in the Sima family, and all the places that could be used in this courtyard were crowded to live.

A small hall, not only a kitchen, but also a place for family dinner, the space is not large, and there is a smell of rancid rice, which makes Liu Yue want to cover his nose. Of course, he won't be so uninteresting, no matter what, this is where Sima Xuan'er grew up, and any unnecessary behavior will embarrass Sima Xuan'er.

Liu Yu naturally sat down on the small bench on the side, which surprised the woman, and originally she wanted to help Liu Yu wipe the chair with sundries on the side, so that Liu Yu could sit on the chair.

"Auntie, let's talk about Xuan'er's marriage." Liu Yu sat down and said as if he couldn't wait.

"My family Xuan'er, although she is not a daughter. But she is also a famous family. His Royal Highness is now the husband of the Son of Heaven. If you just want to marry my Xuan'er. Raised outside, our Sima family will not agree to anything. "The woman is right, and this appearance is very like the head of the family.

The color is strong and inward, when it should be spicy, when it should be spicy, when it is time to be spicy, it can be put down, and when it is time to be reasonable, it will also be reasonable. Liu Yu felt that this was definitely an all-round mother-in-law who was not easy to deal with.

"That's exactly what my aunt said. This time, I came just to get hired, and then officially marry Xuan'er and let her live together in the palace. ”

"In the palace?" The woman was satisfied with the result, but seemed dissatisfied with the way, "Have you ever heard that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea?" ”

Liu Yu smiled and said: "Auntie, don't get me wrong, you know that I am not the emperor, and I don't have seventy-two concubines in three palaces, six courts, and seven courts." Living in the palace is just for the convenience of some things. Even if Xuan'er wants to come out to visit you in the future...... There is no hindrance, and if the aunt wants to bring the family into the palace to talk to Xuan'er, it is okay. ”

The woman nodded, with a satisfied smile on her face, and said, "That's fine." ”

"So my aunt agreed to the marriage?" Liu Yu thought to himself, you won't make things difficult for me anymore, right?

"His Royal Highness said that he would be hired, but I don't know where the dowry is?"

One sentence made Liu Yu speechless, this appointment is just a rhetoric, in order to prepare a special dowry, he mobilized the right minister and the people of the three divisions, is this not a dowry.

"Before......"

The woman said: "When the daughter of my Sima family got married, she would never be a concubine, but today I see that His Royal Highness is full of sincerity, and Xuan'er is sincere to His Royal Highness, so the concubine is reluctant to agree." But in terms of etiquette, you can't treat Xuan'er badly to her, otherwise, outsiders will only say that my Xuan'er was taken away like goods, how can the Sima family have face in the future? ”

Liu Yu sighed secretly in his heart, the almighty mother-in-law is definitely not easy to mess with.

"Mother......

Sima Xuan'er wanted to exonerate Liu Yu, but the woman shouted: "What do you know about marriage?" ”

Sima Xuan'er lowered her head slightly, even if she had her own independence on weekdays, the family depended on her to support her, but at this time she had to obey her mother's wishes.

Liu Yu got up and said with a smile: "Auntie, please wait, I'll go out to arrange it." ”

"Hmm." The woman looked at Liu Yue and nodded.

Liu Yu immediately went out of the door and said to Lian Husheng who was standing at the gate of the courtyard: "Come here." ”

"General, what's the matter?" Lian Husheng looked inexplicable.

"You hurry up and buy a decent dowry, send it over, solve it nearby, don't delay it too long."

Lian Husheng showed a look of embarrassment on his face, where to get a dowry in this hurry? Liu Yu is still urging like this, and he has no funds, and the white wolf has nowhere to put on empty gloves.

Lian Husheng went out with a helpless face, Han Sheng threw him a piece of silver and said, "Take it, go and buy it casually, just do it enough, you can't lose face." ”

Lian Husheng nodded in agreement and hurriedly went.

It didn't take long for Lian Husheng to buy it and bring a large box of small boxes of dowry gifts. These dowries were all wrapped in brocade boxes, and the outside was tied with red and festive flower balls, which were full of pomp and circumstance at first glance, but the boxes seemed to be very light, and a few soldiers carried the dowry to the courtyard without difficulty.

Liu Yu greeted him with a smile and said, "Auntie, the dowry is ready." ”

The woman stepped forward and shook the box casually, and she already knew that the inside of the road was empty, and she frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "This is the dowry prepared by His Royal Highness?" ”

Liu Yu stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Aunt, forgive me, things are too hasty and there is no time to prepare." It's better to ask someone to prepare the Sima Mansion first, send the aunt's family over to settle down first, and then pass the dowry, so I don't know if the aunt is satisfied? ”

The woman seemed to be thoughtful, nodded slightly, and said, "Then there is His Royal Highness Lao." ”

The woman was very calm, but a group of juniors behind her were not so calm, and when they heard that they were going to move, they were all excited. Sima Xuan'er's younger siblings are mostly thirteen or fourteen years old, and the children have a heavy heart.

Seeing that his mother-in-law was satisfied, Liu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, today's toss was a morning, it was already past noon, and the sun was already slanting westward. Things on the battlefield didn't bother him so much, but because of the difficulties of this mother-in-law, he was deflated in front of this small Sima Mansion.

However, there is a lot of income for his work, because Liu Yu not only did not oppress people with power today, but also treated Sima Xuan'er's mother Sima Yu very respectfully, which made Sima Xuan'er quite grateful. When the marriage is settled, the two parties have implemented the marriage letter. Liu Yu first asked Lian Husheng to go to the government with the marriage certificate for the record. And Liu Yu can also take Sima Xuan'er first. Enter the palace first.

This time, Liu Yu married a relative, full of pomp. Not only dispatched the army, but also dispatched the people from the yacha and the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and there were also three court officials from the right minister, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, and even the marriage letter was directly inquired about by Yin of Jingzhao Mansion.

Although the pomp and circumstance are large. But it didn't cost much, anyway, it was reimbursed by the imperial court, and the people were ready-made, and what was spent under the pomp was only Han Sheng's silver for five taels of ingots.

The mansion of Sima Mansion is very simple for Liu Yu, the imperial court has a lot of vacant mansions in Chang'an City, just find a place, and find someone from the Yamen of the Inner Treasury Rite Division to take care of it, it is a good Sima Mansion. Liu Yu asked Lian Husheng to take charge of this matter, while he shared a carriage with Sima Xuan'er. Let's go in the direction of the palace.

When there were only Liu Yu and Sima Xuan'er left in the carriage, Sima Xuan'er hugged Liu Yu gratefully. Been sobbing softly.

"Lord Wang, thank you for what you have done for Xuan'er's family."

"You're already my woman, what's that? But to be honest, Xuan'er, your mother, is really difficult to deal with. ”

Sima Xuan'er pouted lightly, rarely revealing the anger of her youngest daughter's family: "You just count down your mother in front of Xuan'er, and see that Xuan'er turns around and doesn't tell her mother." ”

"Don't, you have to tell your aunt, she may not know how to embarrass me in the future!"

Xuan'er smiled, showing a smile that had succeeded in her treacherous scheme, Liu Yu grabbed him, and the two became entangled again. Liu Yu's efforts have finally paid off, Sima Xuan'er is extremely grateful, and she is a first-time wife, so she is extremely gentle with Liu Yue. This also made Liu Yu feel Sima Xuan'er's flattering side.

When the lingering stopped, Liu Yue got dressed and felt a little emotional. In the past two days, there was the Zhao Su clan first, and then Sima Xuan'er and Li Sha'er, who were almost about to hollow him out. Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh to himself: "Being a man is tired." ”

Thinking about it again, there was still Li Sha'er's father to do something, and Liu Yu felt very tired again. However, he thought that Li Shaer's father, as a court official, would not be too embarrassed by his son-in-law. Li Yannian has always been a philistine, and he should know that he can't be offended.

Liu Yu rested on the carriage, while Sima Xuan'er was defenseless and took a quiet nap on his lap. The outside of the carriage has been chaotic, Liu Yue can see from the window, it seems that some people are gathering, and some officials are maintaining order outside, and the situation is a little unusual. Liu Yu thought that Sima Xuan'er should settle down in the palace first, so he didn't pay attention to it, and before arriving at the palace, Liu Yu and Sima Xuan'er got off the carriage, and a woman was waiting in front of the palace gate for a long time.

It was Liu Liniang who came from the south.

"Liniang? You ......" Liu Yu looked at Liu Liniang, and then at Sima Xuan'er, and felt a little embarrassed. Although Liu Liniang's status is not low, but in Liu Yu's womanhood, she does not have Sima Xuan'er's treatment, Sima Xuan'er can enter the palace and be Liu Yu's concubine in the name of righteousness, but Liu Liniang can only be Liu Yu's outer house, and it is likely that she will have no name for life.

When Liu Liniang saw Sima Xuan'er, she seemed very generous, and she didn't show that she was close to Liu Yueduo, but just stepped forward to salute as a subordinate.

Liu Yu asked the female official who was waiting in front of the palace gate to take Sima Xuan'er into the palace first, and he stayed for the time being under the pretext of having something. When Sima Xuan'er saw Liu Liniang, out of her love for dance, she was like a little fan who saw an idol, she didn't want to leave, but Liu Yue insisted on letting her enter the palace, and she had to go to the palace first.

"Li Niang, why did you come here so early? Things in the South are settled? ”

When Sima Xuan'er had already entered the palace, Liu Yu and Liu Liniang entered the carriage together. When he arrived at a place isolated from the outside world, Liu Yu was no longer polite, and directly hugged Liu Liniang with his arms and asked.

"Twelve young people are happy in Chang'an City, but do you still remember the slave family?" Liu Liniang turned her head to the side, as if she was angry, and she seemed to be losing her daughter's temper, "It's a shame that the slave family has come all the way to share your worries for the twelve." ”

"Li Niang, you also know my relationship with Xuan'er, I did this just to be a responsible and good man. For you, Liniang, I also miss it every day, I wish you came to reunite earlier. ”

"Xuan'er? It's quite affectionate, don't you always call her Miss Lan? When did you change your tune? ”

"This ......" Liu Yu was dumbfounded for a while, no matter how he said it, women were jealous, it was very unreasonable.

When Liu Liniang saw Liu Yu's appearance, she couldn't help but "poof!" With a smile, the look of shame and anger on her face was finally dissolved.

"Look at twelve, you're embarrassed. It's not easy. Never mind. The slave family is no longer pursuing it. ”

Liu Liniang's tone was relaxed. Liu Yu turned pale instead, and his hand touched the soft spot on Liu Liniang's body. The two quarreled for a while and talked about the reunion, and Liu Liniang finally got right, talking about the information she had obtained along the way and her purpose of returning to Chang'an City.

"Chang'an City is nearly, something should happen." Liu Liniang said, "First there was a disturbance between the county king and the feudal lord, and then some parishioners made trouble in Chang'an City. This should be related to the king of Chu. ”

"Parishioners?"

Liu Yu frowned slightly, and after Liu Liniang's words, he felt that the people who were messy on the street before were probably related to the "religious people". At the end of the first year, there was a snowstorm in Chang'an City, and a mysterious religion began to spread in Chang'an City, which was in an uproar, but because Liu increasingly moved a military coup d'état, coupled with the military pressure that Chang'an City entered for a period of time, the development momentum of the new religion was temporarily suppressed. But in the days that Liu Yu left Chang'an, the new religion began to resurge. And there is a tendency for the east wind to spread.

"Twelve young people, do you still remember the crisis that the slave family helped you solve at the beginning of the year?"

"Liniang is talking about that time...... Terrorist attack? ”

Liu Liniang heard the words "terrorist attack". frowned slightly and thought about it, before he understood what was going on, and said, "That's it." Although the slave family knew at that time that it was Nanmiao's people who planned the attack on the Shangyuan Festival, but afterwards, the slave family found out that they were having an affair with people from the new religion, and the gunpowder that was preparing the chaos at that time was also provided by the people of the new religion and secretly transported to Chang'an City. ”

Liu Yu couldn't help but be a little cautious when he heard this, he didn't pay much attention to the development of the new religion before, mainly because he felt that the new religion was just a kind of hope for the people in a dark period, and when the suffering passed, people would naturally not believe in it. When Liu Yubing was trapped in Chang'an City before, he also used religion to help the hungry people in the city to gain the political initiative. But now it seems that he obviously underestimated the influence of the new religion among the common people, who were ignorant and believed in many things.

Following the crowd is the common characteristic of the people of this era, and the world depicted by the new religion itself is very beautiful, which makes the ordinary people yearn for a state of equality in life and happiness after death. And they also want a god-like existence to shelter them and give them psychological comfort.

"Li Niang, have you found out the source of the spread of the new religion?" Liu Yu asked.

Liu Liniang shook her head and said cautiously: "The new religion officially began to appear in the middle of last year, but it was inconspicuous at that time, only in some towns in the central and southern parts of the country, some people who came from nowhere were preaching. If it weren't for the snowstorm last winter, the new religion would not have spread quickly among the people, and in the opinion of the Yi Nu family, perhaps the religion was not created by the king of Chu at the beginning, but in the process of development, it has been used by the king of Chu and the power of the king of Chu. ”

The world is stable, everything Liu Yu is doing now is to guard against Su Zhe, the king of Chu, but sometimes it is really impossible to prevent it, and until now, Su Zhe's whereabouts are still unknown. But in the territory of the Shun Dynasty, there was already a party of the king of Chu making trouble, such as Niu Lu and Ling Daoqi and others, these are typical party of the king of Chu. If the king of Chu really became the "god" of this new religion, then using divine power to launch a rebellion may not be effective.

In the history known to Liu Yu, it was not uncommon to use theocracy to launch military uprisings. And the king of Chu himself has royal blood, and as a god lord and heir to the throne, he can easily win the support of both ignorant people and court officials.

And Liu Yu is also afraid that this new religion will spread in the army, and that is the real crisis coming.

"Now, we can only suppress this momentum first." Liu Yu said, "I will summon the generals in the army, as well as the people of the Jingzhao Mansion and the City Defense Department of Chang'an City, to issue a clear order to prohibit the spread and development of new religions, and to bring to justice some deliberate proselytists." ”

Although Liu Yue knows that it is better to be blocked, but at this time the crisis is in front of him, if it is not blocked, it will not be very effective just by relying on grooming.

"Hmm." Liu Liniang nodded and said, "There is one more thing, my master...... I want to meet you. ”

"Master Wuda?"

Liu Liniang nodded again.

Liu Yue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, in fact, when accepting Liu Liniang, Liu Yu took into account the position of Mrs. Wuding. Originally, Liu Liniang and Wuding belong to the same lineage, but there are also differences, although Liu Liniang is an apprentice of Wuding, but Liu Liniang is also a Miao family after all, and she wants to fight for the rights and interests of her own nation, and Liu Liniang is willing to follow Liu Yu, to a large extent, it is also for the Lingnan ethnic minorities to live in peace for a long time.

And Wuding, but he is an unpredictable "master of the world" with unpredictable political beliefs, Wuding first supported King Huai, and after King Huai was destroyed, Wuding seemed to have the intention of supporting Liu Yu, but then the matter ended because of Liu Yu's lack of initiative. In the final analysis, Wuding doesn't seem to be interested in supporting water, but he is very interested in one person, that is, the prince of Huai, the lord of Min.

Until now, Lord Min is still imprisoned in a secret place by Liu Yu. Liu Yuxin said, could it be that Mrs. Wuding came this time, or did she bring up the old things again?

"Li Niang, why does your master keep trying to rescue Su Min?" Liu Yu asked, "You also said before that Su Min is not the biological daughter of the rebel king, so what is her true identity?" ”

Liu Liniang shook her head helplessly and said: "Twelve Shao, you have to know that the master is the master, I am me, the master will not tell the slave family a lot of things, and the slave family does not need to explain everything to the master." It's like Liniang took refuge in the twelve young you, in fact, the master never supported it, she always felt that the twelve young you were a demon, and the master said that you were the only person in this world who could destroy the destiny of heaven. ”

Liu Yu smiled and touched his chin and said, "How can I be a demon?" At least there was a stinky old man who was right with my proverbs. To this day, I don't understand whether he calculated it or was blind. (To be continued......)

PS: Anyway, 600 is the last hundred chapters of the novel. The novel is coming to an end, and the King of Chu is also the last part of the novel.
