"Hey, there's no wine in this pot, general, please wait a while, the slave family will come when they go." Lin Miaomiao gave Liu Yuan a gift, and slowly retreated with the wine jug.

Lin Miaomiao didn't walk long, and soon, the door "squeaked" and reopened, Liu Yuan swallowed melon seeds without raising his head and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, your steps are not slow." ”

"I've disappointed General Liu, I'm not a wonderful girl." An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Liu Yuan was taken aback, and hurriedly looked up, only to see a tall young man holding a pot of wine, walking towards him, the strangest thing is that this man is wearing a big black cloak, the cloak covers his head, the candlelight in the room is not very bright, it is not very real, it looks very mysterious, but Liu Yuan feels that this person seems to be a little kind.

Obviously, this is the main owner tonight, who can call the wind and rain in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and can also let the treasure of the town hall, the Oiran Lin Miaomiao make a beauty trick for himself, the origin must be not small, I don't know what the picture is, as the Oiran of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, such a small job as serving tea and delivering water, there is definitely no need for Lin Miaomiao to do it himself, and he is still entertaining the guests, just call a voice, naturally there is a maidservant to do the work, and it is just an excuse to get the wine, but in fact, he is to withdraw from the Lu and let this "main master" appear on the stage and negotiate with himself.

"Is that you?" When the man sat down and put down the cloak covering his head, Liu Yuan couldn't help but be surprised, and soon felt relieved, and immediately stood up, saluted the young man and said, "Liu Yuan has seen His Royal Highness the King of Wei. ”

The person who came was Li Tai, the king of Wei.

It is said that the eighteenth change of the female university, Li Tai, who is still in the development period, has not succeeded much, not only has he grown taller, but his voice has also become thicker, Liu Yuan really didn't hear it just now.

Li Taiha smiled. hurriedly said: "General Liu, please get up, I haven't seen you for a few months, General Liu's demeanor is still the same, and he is really a hero out of a young man." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, but the King of Wei is becoming more and more high-spirited, and Liu doesn't know that the King of Wei is coming, and he is not welcome."

No wonder he can call the wind and rain in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Lin Miaomiao, the treasure of the town hall, can also be mobilized at will, it turned out to be Li Tai, the king of Wei. Wearing that big cloak, I'm afraid it will be seen by people, if King Wei breaks into the Qinglou at night, if it is rumored, it is estimated that Chang'an will be lively again. However, among so many princes, it is estimated that he has the courage to do so. Change to another prince. This kind of place must be avoided, after all, it is necessary to take into account the dignity of the royal family, and it is rumored that not only the imperial history will be impeached, but even Li Er will definitely not like it. I heard that this King of Wei is like Li Er's character, with a chivalrous style and the spirit of the rivers and lakes, and it seems that what he said is true.

Liu Yuan was still very calm just now, but as soon as Li Tai appeared. Liu Yuan felt a little bitter in his heart: he was still targeted.

The Tang Dynasty is getting stronger day by day, and those princes are also growing up day by day, in the face of the temptation of power, how many are not moved? And the most powerful competition for the throne is the crown prince Li Chengqian, and then it is the turn of this Wei King Li Tai, who is both civil and military, and is very liked by Li Er, the two have been competing in the dark for a long time, and there has been a trend of getting stronger and stronger in recent years, Liu Yuan is the son-in-law of the Qinghe Cui family, not only can he talk with the civil officials, but also with the military attaché, and the relationship is also very close, and he is still the rising star of the Tang Dynasty, the most dazzling new general star, and recently he has won a great success, and it is definitely worth winning the object. I can't say that I can still win the recognition of those generals, this temptation is too great, so big that Li Tai, the king of Wei, condescended to the dignity and personally directed this good show.

Liu Yuan has always been cautious, for fear of being caught in the whirlpool of seizing the position, but he didn't expect that this Li Tai would come so soon, and he had no intention of fighting with any heart? You can't hide.

However, it can also be seen from here that Li Tai's power and scheming, especially that means, are really a bit of Li Er's shadow.

Li Tai sat down with a smile, poured wine for Liu Yuan very casually, and said while pouring: "General Liu, this is a treasure of wine in the palace, this king and the general drink a few cups, just congratulate the general on his great victory and greatly boost the prestige of my Tang Dynasty." ”

"Don't dare, how dare King Lao Wei pour wine for Liu, this is not in accordance with the rules." Liu Yuan hurriedly said.

"General Liu doesn't have to be polite, this is not a court, so we don't have to restrain those vulgar courtesies." After Li Tai finished speaking, he raised his glass and said, "General Liu, this king toasts you with a glass." ”

"Please."

Although the wine was a little depressed, the prince's face could not be ignored, and Liu Yuan and Li Tai had a toast together.

The wine is good wine, but Liu Yuan drank a little tastelessly, mainly because he had too much thought, as the so-called nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace, a dignified prince, first dispatched a bargaining chip like Lin Miaomiao, and personally disguised himself to this Qinglou to accompany his drinking, it will definitely not be as simple as congratulations, it is to win over his own side, otherwise, he can invite Liu Yuan generously on weekdays, and he doesn't need to be so mysterious tonight.

"Happy" Li Tai drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and before he could pour it again, Liu Yuan had already poured him the wine first.

Liu Yuan raised his glass and said with a smile: "Liu is wondering, where did the face come from, it turned out to be the care of King Wei, Liu Mou's soldiers who raised the mighty army Xie King Wei, I came to pay a glass to King Wei." ”

"A little thing, what's the point, it's just a gesture." Li Tai said as he gently touched the glass with Liu Yuan, which was regarded as accepting Liu Yuan's gratitude.

After toasting, Liu Yuan opened the mountain and asked: "His Royal Highness King Wei, Liu is an urgent son, he can't say it well, please forgive me, King Wei is looking for Liu this time, I don't know what to order?" ”

Li Tai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Liu Yuan to be so direct, but he was very deep in the city, so he didn't show it, he raised it, looked at Liu Yuan, and said with a smile: "I don't know what General Liu has about the position of the crown prince?" ”

Seeing Liu Yuan so straightforward, Li Tai also became direct.

Liu Yuan pretended to be confused, and said a little embarrassedly: "The prince is the future prince, the heir to the throne, these are all royal matters, Liu is just an outsider, he has not been in the company for a long time, and his qualifications are very shallow, so he dare not comment on it." ”

"General Liu is both civil and military, don't push it anymore" Li Tai said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, it doesn't hurt for General Liu to speak bluntly, this king just said a few words of sincerity to General Liu, and promised not to publicize this matter, if the general deals with it like this, then he will look down on me Li Tai." ”

"The subordinates don't dare."

Li Tai raised his glass, smiled and said to Liu Yuan: "Then let's be honest with each other." ”

Liu Yuan couldn't help it, so he had to raise his glass, touch it lightly with Li Tai, and then drank it all.

There are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends, Liu Yuan and Li Tai, there are some differences in the front, and there are also some enemies, but the status of the two is special, they have always been hidden, on the Changluo Expressway, Liu Yuan also secretly took care of the shop under Li Tai's name, Li Tai is different from the impulsive and brainless Li Su, not only erudite and talented, but also scheming, deeply loved by Li Er and his wife, and has the courage to do things, this kind of powerful and shrewd royal disciple is the most difficult to deal with.

After drinking the things in the cup, Liu Yuan said frankly: "Since King Wei values Liu so much, then, Liu will say a few words from the heart." ”

"It doesn't hurt for General Liu to be blunt."

"King Wei also knows that Liu was born at the grassroots, he doesn't know much, he is also blessed by his ancestors, and when he meets a nobleman, he is on the rise, in the final analysis, he has no ability, and he can't intervene in many things, what his father-in-law says, that's what, now although he is a general, but there are only 2,000 soldiers in his hands, there is no one in the strategists, and the strength is still very small, for the prince, Liu respects from the bottom of his heart, and Liu is extremely loyal to the Tang Dynasty." Liu Yuan pondered for a moment and said slowly.

Liu Yuan said very cleverly, the prince is respectful, and Datang is loyal, meaning that it doesn't matter who is the prince, he is loyal, but the emperor of Datang, he doesn't want to stand in line, deliberately belittles his ability, saying that he relies on the Qinghe Cui clan to take the throne, and many things are decided by his father-in-law, and then he also hints that his ability is very small and there is not much value in wooing.

"General Liu is really too modest, everyone in the world thinks that General Liu married a good lady, relying on the protection of the Qinghe Cui family, all the way to the top, in fact, according to this king, although the Qinghe Cui family gave a certain amount of support, the actual support is not large, General Liu can have today, are all by their own efforts, step by step, if General Liu really relies on the Qinghe Cui family, with your literary talent, you will not abandon the literature and follow the martial arts, again and again forgetting to die in the front of the fight, on the contrary, General Liu does not want to live in the shade of the Qinghe Cui family, Out of the shelter of their wings, they took the route of military generals, and it can be seen from this that General Liu is self-reliant and self-reliant, and has lofty aspirations. ”

Li Tai's tone changed, and he said with a smile: "General Liu is young, and he is already a fourth-rank high-ranking official, haven't you thought about going further, it is not impossible for him to be crowned king with a different surname." ”

The drama is coming, this can be a naked temptation, in order to win over Liu Yuan, even the bait of the king with a different surname was thrown.

If it were someone else, it might be tempting, but Liu Yuan, whom Li Tai met, is nothing for a person who just wants to hold his wife and concubine and be a wealthy man in peace.

Liu Yuan sighed, shook his head and said: "King Wei is really exalting Liu, don't tell you, Liu is very satisfied with the status quo, and there are no excessive requirements, King Wei is so straightforward, Liu also said a few words from the heart, Liu's biggest ideal is to hold his wife, watch the children, and guard a few acres of thin fields to live a peaceful life, and the others don't think much about it, from Yangzhou to Chang'an, he has always been very low-key, and he has not interacted with the prince or prince, it is a little business, and he only cooperates with a few princesses, just wants to stay out of the matter, King Wei is erudite and talented, and he is deeply loved by the emperor and queen and hundreds of officials, and now he is looking for Liu in person, sincerity, but unfortunately Liu is really powerless. ”

Li Tai listened to Liu Yuan's words, his eyes rolled, and he asked instead: "It is said that General Liu is full of wisdom on the battlefield, and there is nothing missing, presumably his eyes are very good, tonight this king wants General Liu to evaluate, this king or my imperial brother, which one can go further." ”

What goes further, this is to let Liu Yuan say, they have a better chance of being the emperor.

"This, Liu has not had much contact with the prince and the king of Wei, but I am afraid that the evaluation will not be comprehensive and unfair." Liu Yuan said a little embarrassed. (To be continued......)
