Chapter 12: The First Year of Yuanjia (Part II)
The temperature in Gangneung in July was already rising, and the cries outside the window were even more irritating.
According to the news from the front, the team from Jiankang will be able to reach Gangneung City at noon at the latest.
It stands to reason that Liu Yilong, as the king of Yidu, does not need to greet him, but even with Ji Zixun's words, he still has a grudge against the people who come, so he still decided to take people to the riverside to wait, and made up his mind that if they really have bad intentions, they will not let their people enter Jiangling City.
"You don't have to be too anxious, with the captain with you, what else will happen?" Yuan Qifei helped Liu Yilong tie his hair with her round belly, "If you become the emperor, can the concubine become the queen?" ”
"That's nature." Liu Yilong hugged Yuan Qifei into his arms with his backhand, holding her waist with one hand, and gently stroking her stomach with the other, "You are the queen, and our son is naturally the prince." ”
Liu Yilong's words blew Yuan Qifei's ears, making her cheeks slightly red, and her delicate hands gently pushed Liu Yilong's chest, "Go quickly, don't let them wait." ”
When Liu Yilong came to the courtyard, Yanzhi, Wang Hua and others were waiting. The thick gauze wrapped around Yanzhi's left ear immediately attracted Liu Yilong's attention, "What's wrong with the captain's ear?" ”
"I was accidentally scratched by a knife when I practiced martial arts yesterday."
Yan Zhi's answer made Liu Yilong shocked. How could such a mistake occur after many years of fighting in Hiko's campaign? Liu Yilong hurriedly walked up to Yan Zhi and said softly, "Isn't it someone from Jiankang?" ”
"King Yidu thinks too much."
Is it sir? Liu Yilong was shocked, and he wanted to continue to speak, but he heard Yanzhi say, "Zhongshuling and others are now less than two miles away from the dock, and if we don't set off again, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up" and hurriedly ordered to set off for the dock.
Liu Yilong and the others didn't wait long before they saw a flotilla faintly coming into view on the river. Fu Liang stood at the bow of the ship in official uniform. He also didn't expect Liu Yilong to lead people to wait, so as soon as the boat docked, he hurriedly got off the boat, walked quickly to Liu Yilong's front and bowed not far away, "Ji You has seen King Yidu." ”
Liu Yilong hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man, "The Chinese book order is exempt." ”
Fu Liangsi has entered the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and in this war-torn era, he is really a long-lived old man. Liu Yilong carefully looked at the old man with full hair in front of him: This is the person who supported his father as the emperor back then.
In fact, Liu Yilong was not afraid of Jiankang's adults before, but was full of admiration. Fu Liangbo is involved in history, You Shan's rhetoric, and I heard that Yanzhi described how he helped his father to enter the dynasty and succeed to the throne, and he had reverence in his heart. However, what happened to the two brothers really scared him.
Although Fu Liang is old, he is physically tough, and he is still full of energy after such a long journey. He didn't straighten up with Liu Yilong's movements, but lowered his head, "Wait, wait for the king of Yingyi to return to Jiankang." ”
The people who came down from the boat were standing neatly behind Fu Liang at this moment, and their voices were neat and loud, "King Yingyi returns to Jiankang." ”
Liu Yilong's face turned red, but he didn't know what to say, and he didn't think of a suitable statement for a long time.
"Daoyu has seen Lord Zhongshu Ling." He took a step forward to relieve Liu Yilong's ugliness, "My lord and everyone in Xingtai have traveled a long way to reach Jiangling, and what you need at this time is to rest quickly. After a few days of rest, we will come back to discuss this matter. ”
Fu Liang saw Liu Yilong's uneasiness at this time, and it took a long time to spit out two words, "Okay." ”
We have to wait a few more days before we can return to Jiankang.
When Yanzhi turned his head, he saw that Fu Liang was just looking at Liu Yilong's departing back for a long time, with a solemn face.
As if sensing Yanzhi's gaze, Fu Liang looked over with a smile on his face, "Daoyu, it's been a long time." ”
Hikoyuki didn't know how to answer, so he just nodded.
"King Yidu waits for me, as if the mustard is very deep." Fu Liang also seemed to expect that Yan Zhi would not give him a response, so he continued to say to himself, "We followed Gaozu to fight in the east and west, and we knew that it was not easy to build a country in the Great Song Dynasty. In recent years, Gaozu has reformed the political system and lightly paid for the poor, just so that the people of the world can live comfortably. But the young emperor has been on the throne for two years, and he is rude in mourning, and it is good to be a matter of wandering. The Northern Wei soldiers invaded the border, lost the battle, the general impeached himself, and the young emperor ignored it. We were ordered by Gaozu to resolutely not want Gaozu's hard work to be destroyed in the hands of the young emperor. ”
Yan Zhi didn't hear other voices in his head, knowing that what Fu Liang said at this moment was his own heart, he sighed in his heart and said, "The young emperor was seventeen years old when he succeeded to the throne, and King Yidu was only seventeen this year. ”
Fu Liang knew what Yanzhi meant, but he was afraid that a few of them would force Liu Yilong to abdicate again, so his heart was in a mess, so he could only say, "Zongwen Yi belongs to the king of Yidu." ”
Zhiyanzhi looked at Fu Liang quietly, and only after a while did he give up his hand, "Dao Yu went to persuade King Yidu." ”
"Ji You, thank you in advance."
The days came to July 7 in a blink of an eye, Liu Yilong dealt with Jingzhou's affairs every day, and Fu Liang watched them discuss matters every day. At first, Liu Yilong was still nervous, always afraid that Fu Liang would intervene, but after a few days, seeing that Fu Liang was just watching them deal with affairs, he riveted his strength to make him feel that Jingzhou could not do without him, and he could give up taking himself to Jiankang.
Although Liu Yilong also wants to be the emperor, he cares more about his own life.
Fu Liang also seems to see through it and doesn't say anything, but just lets Liu Yilong toss.
Jiankang's letters came one after another, and Xu Xianzhi was urging him to bring Liu Yilong back quickly.
The Gangneung City on Tanabata is particularly lively, and the grand lantern festival is not inferior to Jiankang. The lights were bright and dim, the figures were full of shadows, Fu Liang walked on the street alone, shuttled through the crowd, and finally came to the riverside. Looking at the lotus lanterns on the river, Fu Liang was not interested at all, but felt that there seemed to be a heavy stone pressing on his back, which made him breathless.
He suddenly thought of the prime minister of Shu Han, Mr. Kong Ming.
Mr. Kong Ming is talented and monopolizes the power of Shu Han, but Shu Han is a queen of Liu. The young emperor should not be the emperor, they can also use the order of the Empress Dowager Xiao to abolish him, and then choose another emperor, but Mr. Kong Ming has no choice. Mr. Kong Ming is loyal and has no other intentions, but the queen is not effective.
Fu Liang, who is over half a hundred years old, is a little cranky at this moment: What would happen if Mr. Kong Ming had established himself as the emperor back then?
In the restaurant not far behind Fu Liang, Ji Zixun looked at the people by the river through the window on the second floor.
"Sir?" Zhi Yanzhi, who was sitting opposite him, did not bring animal bones today, and looked at Ji Zixun's gaze, and quickly saw Fu Liang, who was incompatible with the atmosphere of Jiangling City tonight.
"King Yidu hasn't made up his mind yet?"
Tohikoyuki nodded. After so many days, it was determined that Fu Liang at this time had no murderous intentions towards Liu Yilong, and he sincerely wanted to welcome Liu Yilong back to Jiankang, but after so many days of persuasion, although Liu Yilong was shaken, he still did not make up his mind.
"A nation cannot be left without an owner for a day. Where is he now? ”
"The princess is inconvenient to travel in the month, and I want to come tonight, King Yidu should accompany the princess in the mansion."
"Let's go back." Ji Zixun motioned to Yan Zhi to come over and support him, "After you go back, you go and let King Yidu come to see me, and then you will order to go down, and set off for Jiankang at noon tomorrow at the latest." ”
