Chapter 10: Father-Son Talks
The next day, there were still only Liu Yao, Liu Hong, and Zhang Rang in Nangong.
"Emperor. What is the matter with coming to my father today, but there is another wine for my father. Liu Hong's face was full of greed. Over the years, Liu Yao would send Liu Hong some fine wine from time to time, and Liu Hong thought that this time would be the same.
"Father Qi, son, I have been learning literature with Teacher Cai Yong and martial arts with Wang Daxia over the years. I heard that there are often foreign invasions in Youzhou, so I hope that my father will allow me to go out as an official to defend against foreign enemies and promote the majesty of my Han," Liu Yao said impassionedly.
Liu Hong, who heard Liu Yao's words, suddenly released a fine light in his eyes. "Let Father, you go down first, I want to have a good chat with the emperor."
"No."
When there were only two people left in the Nangong, Liu Yao and Liu Hong. Liu Hong changed his original lazy and greedy expression, and said with a stern face, "Emperor, come with me." Without looking back, he walked into the hall.
Liu Yao didn't know why, but he still followed, but Liu Hong gave him a little different feeling today, but he couldn't tell what was different.
Liu Hong walked straight to his dormitory, and then in Liu Yao's stunned expression, he pressed a mechanism next to the bed. ......There was a loud bang, and suddenly a dark secret passage appeared in front of the two of them.
"Come in." After saying that, Liu Hong took the lead and walked in, while Liu Yao followed with a surprised face, today's qiē has exceeded Liu Yao's prediction.
The secret passage was dark and long, and the two of them walked for half a cup of tea before they came to the end, Liu Hong skillfully lit all the candles around him, and suddenly the panorama of this secret room appeared in front of Liu Yao.
The decoration of the chamber is very simple, basically unadorned, except for a shelf in the middle of the chamber and a sword placed on the shelf.
Liu Hong stepped forward, picked up the sword, and carefully stroked it a few times, "Emperor, do you know what kind of sword this is." "At this time, Liu Hong still has the same cowardly appearance as before, **, that is a real emperor.
"This is Gao Zu's ......," Liu Yao said carefully.
"That's right, this sword is the snake slashing sword of Gaozu back then, the Chixiao Sword. Now, the sword is yours. Saying that, Liu Hong handed the sword in his hand directly to Liu Yao.
"This ......" Liu Yao's careful result Chixiao Sword "Father, what does this mean?" Liu Yao was completely bored and a little overwhelmed.
"Hahahaha!!" Liu Hong laughed insolently, "Everyone in the world knows that the jade seal of the country is the symbol of our Han emperor, but few people know that this Chixiao Sword is the real symbol, and if you have the Chixiao Sword, you are the head of our Liu family, and you have the right to cut first and then play, so now you are the head of our Liu family." ”
"Father, what do you mean by that?" Liu Yao's back is now completely soaked, things are out of control, and the unknown is the most terrifying.
"Hey." Liu Hong sighed deeply, his face full of sadness, "Emperor, do you know how the situation of the Han family is now." ”
"This, our Han family is strong, and it is powerful in all directions......" Liu Yao couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Hahaha, Emperor, do you think that I have never been out of the palace all these years, so I really don't know the situation outside?" Liu Hong shook his head helplessly.
Then he raised his hands high, looked up to the sky and sighed, "I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Great Han, the Great Han may die in my hands." Tears flowed down his eyes.
"Father, ...... you" Liu Yao is now completely unclear whether Liu Hong is the ** ignorant or the current Liu Hong.
"Does the emperor feel that I am very strange now, and I no longer look like the previous ** emperor?" Liu Hong asked with a smile when he saw Liu Yao's expression.
"Yes." Liu Yao nodded mechanically.
"Emperor, although I don't have any great talent, I don't know that the Han family has now declined, and the family family controls most of the power. When I first ascended the throne, I also wanted to be a Ming monarch and seek benefits for the people of the world, but what about restoring the actual prosperity of Gaozu and Emperor Guangwu? But I can't do it, I can't do it. Liu Hong said and looked a little crazy.
"I want to weaken the power of the family, but the survival of the Han cannot lack these families, so I began to favor the eunuchs, hoping to form a strength that can compete with the family. But I didn't expect that the two of them were really just fighting a little now, and I was helpless and powerless, so I began to become like this, and became a person who only knows pleasure. Liu Hong's face was full of sadness.
Liu Yao was completely shocked, he didn't expect that the money-hungry and shameless Emperor Ling of Han in history was actually such a Ming monarch who wanted to benefit the people. "Father, I'm sorry, I've been wrong for you."
"Yao'er, you don't need to say much, you know Taiping Dao." Liu Hong asked.
"Taiping Dao, but Zhang Jiao?"
"Yes, Emperor, do you know why the Taiping Dao is going around demagoguery to do that rebellious thing, but no one has ever found out?" Liu Hong smiled mysteriously.
"Father, is it you?" Liu Yao's eyes widened out, with a look of surprise.
"Yes, the actions of the Taiping Dao can be said to be acquiesced by me, every time someone plays, they will be suppressed by me, so they have enough room for development." Liu Hong admitted it without hesitation.
"Father, why did you do this?" Liu Yao asked anxiously.
"Hahaha!! Why?!! I want revenge, I want revenge on those big families, anyway, I have been a dog and horse all these years, my body has long been corrupted, and I don't have many days to live. They have defeated the Han family to such an extent that I will die with them. Hahahaha!! Liu Hong's whole body went crazy.
"Hiss......" Liu Yao gasped, he didn't expect Liu Hong to be so ruthless, and he didn't hesitate to fight to the death to bite off a piece of the enemy's meat.
Liu Hong immediately looked at Liu Yao, "However, now that my plan has changed, I don't want to fight to the death anymore, it is because of you, the emperor." ”
"Me?" Liu Yao pointed at himself suspiciously.
"Yes, Emperor, what you have done over the years, I can see everything in my eyes, whether it is the Huoyun Wine, or the Huoyun Chamber of Commerce, or the 3,000 private soldiers, I know them all." Liu Hong said.
"You, Father, when did you know?" Liu Yao was stunned.
"That's when you first asked me to leave the palace." Liu Hong said, "Emperor, you are my heir after all, how can you really rest assured that you are out alone, so I really sent some people to follow you, but I didn't expect to let me see your amazing talent, Emperor." ”
Liu Yao was a little moved, no matter what kind of person the person in front of him was, he was his father and the one who cared about him the most. He shouted in a trembling voice, "Father!" ”
"Emperor, you must have made a plan when you came to me today. Can you talk to me? ”
"Yes, father, the son decided to occupy a territory outside first, accumulate strength, and then reunite the real Han when the troubled times come, so as to eliminate those big families." Liu Yao said briefly.
"Good! Good! Good! I am fortunate to have an heir like you in this life. Emperor, although you let go of your hands to do it, I am indeed beyond my strength in other aspects, but no matter what, I will support you silently behind your back. The future of the Great Han depends on you, Emperor. Liu Hong looked at Liu Yao with a relieved face.
"Yes, father, the son will live up to his father's trust, and he will definitely recover the country of my Han Dynasty." Liu Yao said with a little choked fists.
"Good!! Father, I believe in you, what are you going to do next? Liu Hong decided to completely obey Liu Yao's methods.
"Father, my sons still want to go to Youzhou now, one is to train soldiers, and the other is to accumulate strength. But now with the help of my father, Erchen hopes that my father can recruit three people to serve me, so that the three of them can help, and Erchen will have a greater grasp. Liu Yao thought about it for a while and said.
"Oh, who can make the emperor so fancy you?" Liu Hong asked curiously.
"One is Tian Toyoda Yuanhao, who is now serving the imperial history in Luoyang. The second is Taishi Ci Taishi Ziyi of Donglai, Qingzhou, and the third is Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng of Nanyang, Jingzhou. Liu Yao thought about it and said three names, these three people will definitely be in these places, and they are also the best to recruit. As for other famous people, who are either uncertain about their whereabouts, or are still children, or have strange tempers, and will not pay attention to the court, such people still need to be invited in person.
"Good!! No problem, Emperor, I will order them to come by holy decree. Liu Hong agreed without thinking about it.
"Thank you, Father."
The father and son were conspiring in the secret room, and no one knew how much the conversation between the two would have in the future.
