Chapter 23: Father and Son Reunited
When Liu Ju got down from the sedan chair, the whole courtyard was full of joy, and the four men at the door tied ribbons around their waists, bowed down together, and shouted in unison:
"Congratulations to the old lady on his merits!"
Both sides of the gate are piled up with bamboo poles, as Liu Ju's feet hit the ground, the bamboo poles were ignited, crackling popping rods sounded, fire and smoke rose into the sky at the same time, the two little girls, walked to the sedan door, helped up Liu Ju's left and right hands, the sedan chair man hurriedly pressed the sedan chair, Liu Ju walked out.
"Welcome home!" Liu Chang was still dressed as a brother that day, but his face was full of joy, and when he saw his father get off the sedan chair, he immediately greeted him, handed over his hands, stood up with his thumb, moved from his eyebrows to his chest, bowed his body, and then knelt on his knees.
He sat his father on the top of the main hall, took two steps back, and bowed again.
"If the child is not filial, let the father suffer", he said, and tears could not help but flow.
After playing the filial piety of the father and son, Liu Ju was still in a dream.
A few days ago, he saw Su Wen, and Su Wen also saw him, and he didn't believe that Su Wen couldn't recognize him. At that time, he thought that this time it must be difficult to escape, he and Su Wen no longer had any room for maneuver, and each had to put the other party to death, since Su Wen left, he was nervous, calculating the time of his death, Su Wen would not come to kill himself openly, and he would definitely use a secret hand.
Unexpectedly, after a few days, not only did he not die, but he also canceled the pursuit and was released. His youngest son is still in Chang'an, and he actually sent someone to pick him up, and his youngest son actually has a home, and he still has subordinates and retinues...
"Congratulations to the old lady for her safety, today, there is enough wine and meat!!" The youngest son stood on the steps, waving his little fist mightily and roaring domineeringly!
I have never heard these three words before, but after today, they will definitely be spread.
The courtyard inside and outside is full of several cases, even outside the door, there are one or two hundred people, so it's not lively! By the way, since the introduction of the beggars, many small traders have joined the beggar gang, and now the number of the beggars is nearly 5,000, distributed all over Chang'an. These nearly 200 people are just close people.
Looking at this pile, there are people in gorgeous clothes, and there are also people in tattered clothes, all kinds of things. When this group of people collectively bowed to themselves, they were really at a loss.
I used to make all kinds of people, etc., my father opened the door of convenience for his own friends, and also built a garden in the south of Chang'an City, covering five miles outside the Angmen (also known as Du Gate), taking the meaning of broad and wait-and-see, called Bowang Garden. Although his father did not like his courtiers to make guests, he gave it to himself as a guest and allowed himself to act according to his own interests. At that time, I entertained guests, ranging from dozens to hundreds, but none of them gave me the shock I had today.
I know that these people are not really bowing to themselves, but I know that these people are sincerely bowing to their own son, the son who is just over five years old! is only five years old, and without relying on the sky, the earth, or the identity, he can lay a piece of the world for himself, which is rare in ancient and modern times.
I know that there are few people who can stand out for myself, and I am in trouble, and I rely on a straw sandal seller to take him in; But Liu is sure that these two hundred people are willing to die for their son. The feast dispersed before the sun set, some staggered away by themselves, some were carried on their backs, some were also carried away, and of course there were those who really couldn't walk, and climbed to the side room and fell asleep. Because, now Chang'an still implements a curfew, and no one is allowed on the street when the sun sets. The youngest son also drank a lot, his little face was flushed, his eyes were foggy, and he sat in his room and refused to leave. My brother has been arranged in another room, and it's still the same.
It's really hard for this little son, who is so young, to earn a living on his own, and to take care of his brother. Seeing this son, his face was full of excitement and surrounded him, his dependence on himself, and his blood was full of affection, and his heart was sad and satisfied.
"Father, from now on ... Where are we ... Don't go. Only.. Right here... Changan. I... WE AGAIN ... Nor do you have to... Who to look for. Child, I... Feed you later. Father... CHILD NOW ... It's amazing. up, the whole long... According to the city, it is all my territory. After saying that, he fell down on the bed and fell asleep.
The next day, when Xiao Liu Chang woke up, he saw his father still lying next to him in his clothes, probably because of the fear of several days, once relaxed, extremely tired, still sleeping. Liu Chang tiptoed out of the room and went downstairs to freshen up. He doesn't have to tie his head in a ponytail anymore, and the two girls will put him up in a proper and neat manner from head to toe.
A few days ago, he was looking for a house for his father, although there are some vacant houses in Chang'an, but most of those houses are not only dilapidated, not to mention, in the end, the government will dispose of it uniformly, or take it back, or auction, or demolish... What he needs now is a clean house, not necessarily big, his mother is definitely gone, grandma is gone, they can't survive, it's useless to ask for a big house, it's safe, clean, bright, just do.
I have to do it myself, and the less people know about my father's whereabouts, the better, and it is better to find a manor outside the city. Explain to the two girls, bring the two guards and go straight to Yaxing! A few days ago, I had contact with Yaxing, and I have seen a few places, and now it is not difficult to find a house in Chang'an, there are many people who have been raided and exterminated, there are many empty houses, and there are also those that have been sold by the government, Liu Chang is not very satisfied. It's either too flamboyant and conspicuous, or too luxurious and domineering, not that there is no money, and real estate is now in the crash stage, and the price is very cheap. Money is not a matter at all for the current junior, what he is looking for is that kind of low-key luxury.
Yesterday, the broker said that there was news, but yesterday he was really not available. Let's take a look today, and if you can, you'll settle the matter. The steward of the book took him to see it. This place is relatively remote, in the south of the city, about 50 miles away from Chang'an City, and it takes about an hour to ride a horse. But the environment is not bad, not far from the mountains, there is a river in front of the door.
It covers an area of about 50 acres, of course, there are not too many houses, more than 10 rooms, most of them are vacant land, water pavilions and pavilions, all of them are one-story houses are relatively low-key. The second half of the vacant land has been developed into a vegetable field.
Xiao San seemed to be quite satisfied, and Hui Ji paid the full amount and entrusted the broker to go to Yamen to handle the transfer of the title deed. When I came back, it was already the second half of the day. I went upstairs and told my father about the situation, but my father didn't have any opinions. After three days, he sent his father and brother to a new house, and at the same time, he found ten clever men and maids in his beggar ranks, went to the yamen to sign a deed of sale, and sent them at the same time to take care of his father and brother's daily life.
Before arriving at the new house, Liu Chang also took his father and brother to the south of the city to worship his grandmother. After Wei Zifu committed suicide, he was buried near the Tongbai Pavilion in the south of Chang'an City, just a hasty burial, a simple grave, grandpa buried his grandmother here, not Maoling, it stands to reason that although the queen committed suicide, she was not stripped of the queen's title, she can be buried in Maoling, which shows Liu Che's indifference.
Liu Ju's father and son stood in front of Wei Zifu's grave, just quietly bowed, and did not have too much sadness. His mother accompanied the emperor for thirty-eight years, and spent his most glorious years with the emperor, although Wei Zifu had no talent in politics, but during the period when she managed the harem, the entire harem was also safe and orderly, and there were no waves, and it was also a credit for Liu Che to concentrate on government affairs. But even himself, His Majesty the Emperor, even his own flesh and blood, can be easily parted, and what is it to treat his wife like clothes.
The grandfather was gone, and after leaving, there was a sneaky shadow that appeared where their father and son were standing, and found a wooden board on the ground.
In the palace, in a side room, a small eunuch stood on the side in a regular manner, and on the couch in front of him sat a chief eunuch, and this chief eunuch was Huangmen Suwen.
At this time, I was looking at a wooden plank.
"This little son is really not simple!"
He casually put the wooden board on a few cases next to him, and the wooden board was engraved with a knife with two words: "Presumptuous!" ”
Coming back from Liu Chang's residence, Su Wen really regretted it in his heart, regretting that he shouldn't have participated in the infighting in the palace, what was he, just a eunuch, that is, no parents and no heirs. Whoever ascends to the throne as an emperor cannot get back what he has dropped.
Regardless of whether Liu Ju can take over the throne or not, this little prince is an existence that cannot be taken lightly, he is out of imperial power, and he despises imperial power, and the key is that he also has the power to despise imperial power. This power is not given externally, but is possessed and inalienable.
He originally hoped to get rid of this son by surprise and secretly arranged manpower. Now it seems that he has a good understanding of his own arrangements, but it is only a general warning, in the past, he may have thought that the other party is always negligent, but now it seems that in the eyes of the other party, he is not even qualified to be his enemy. I also understand now that I really don't have this qualification, otherwise, the little chamberlain wouldn't have come back unscathed.
"Alas~" Su Wen sighed, the matter has come to this point, and there is no way to return to the sky: "It's all withdrawn"
"No"
