In the main hall of the palace, everyone sat down again as guests of honor, and the atmosphere was completely different from just now. King Chen sat on the left main seat of the main hall, and pulled Wu Yong to sit on the right main seat.

It's kind of sitting side by side. On both sides of the lower head are the vassals of the state of Chen, who are kneeling. In a short time, all kinds of delicacies were placed in front of everyone by the maids.

Liu Chong raised his glass and apologized: "Wu Shiyu came from afar, the hospitality was not good, the archery competition just now, there were many offenses, and I hope Haihan!" Wu Yong also hurriedly followed and raised his glass and said: "The king is polite, Wu Yong took the liberty to visit today, and he shouldn't have been." What's more, being able to see the king's peerless archery skills is already satisfied, how dare you have any complaints. ”

"Haha, you don't have to raise this king, Wu Shiyu's archery skills are unparalleled in the world, which is convincing, how can this king's vulgar archery skills be compared with Wu Shiyu." Liu Chongman laughed absently, then drank all the wine in the cup, and then sighed: "Don't hide it from Wu Shi, if you sow chaos today, traitors will be in charge, and traitors will rebel." This king sees it in his eyes, is anxious in his heart, and often pities the people of the world, but after all, he can't do it, I don't know what Wu Shiyu taught me? Wu Yong's eyes froze, this sentence is not easy to answer, this Chen Wang Liu Chong is probably disagreeing with the court.

So he could only say haha: "The king has such a mind, it is really a blessing in the world!" Seeing that Wu Yong did not respond positively, Liu Chong was a little disappointed and said: "Hey! I never thought that my Han family could have come to such a state. Every time I think about it, this king is exhausted. If there is no change, I am afraid that the Han family will be in danger and the people will be in danger! Wu Yong hesitated for a moment and said: "The king should know that since Emperor Huan, the local land annexation has been uncontrolled, and there are relatives and eunuchs who take turns to disrupt the government, and the court has long been difficult to return. As he spoke, he sighed again: "Not long ago, Xu Zhao rebelled, but it was just to detonate these contradictions in advance. Dahan has actually been terminally ill for a long time. If the Son of Heaven continues to reuse eunuchs, I am afraid that more people will not be able to live in the future, and they will choose to be thieves. Then Wu Yong glanced at Liu Yun who was serving beside him, and said with emotion: "Since Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, was framed by the eunuch Wang Fu and forced to commit suicide, and the Son of Heaven executed the family of the king of Bohai. Liu Pet nodded and said: "The Son of Heaven is young, he is bewitched by others, and he favors eunuchs, which is really unwise." This king's view is today, and the one who can revive the world of my Han family is none other than Wu Shiyu. Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The king is too famous, there are so many heroes in the world, after all, the kid is young, it is difficult to take this position!" I hope that there will be righteous people who are not afraid of power and eunuchs can take on this important task. Liu Pet shook his head,

"In the heart of this king, only Wu Shiyu can do this, others are just selling fame and reputation, and only you, Wu Shiyu, can really not be afraid of power." Wu Yong smiled bitterly: "King, where do you say this? The kid has suggested the Son of Heaven several times, but he has not been adopted, and his heart has long been like ashes. Now it is far away from Luoyang, out of sight and out of mind. Liu Pet smiled mysteriously, then pointed to Sister Liu Yun beside Wu Yong and said, "You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from this king, both of them are daughters of the Bohai royal family." ”

"Ahh Liu Yun and Liu Lan both exclaimed in surprise, and then looked at Liu Pet, their faces became nervous. Liu Pet waved his hand,

"You don't have to be nervous, this hall is full of people who can be trusted by this king, and will never reveal your whereabouts to the outside world." Seeing that Liu Chong had said everything to this, Wu Yong simply didn't pretend, so he generously admitted: "The king has a good eye! Liu Yun and Liu Lan are indeed the queen of the Bohai King. Then, with some confusion, he asked, "How did the king see through their identities?" Before coming to Chen Guo, the kid also specially asked Sister Liu Yun, and both of them said that they had never seen the king. ”

"It's just a guess!" Liu Pet smiled confidently,

"This king also has some ears and eyes in Luoyang, so naturally he has heard about my niece who gave up her life to marry Wang Fu's adopted son and ran away from marriage in order to save her father. After that, the two disappeared, and it is said that it was Yuan Shao of the Yuan clan in Runan and Cao Cao, the eldest son of Cao Song, the eldest son of the Great Si Nongqing, who rescued them. However, this king speculates that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are just people on the surface, and there must be someone else behind the scenes. As he spoke, he sighed again: "This king and the king of Bohai had several connections before, and the moment this king saw the second daughter, he knew that she was the daughter of the king of Bohai. However, this king was not sure at that time, after all, there are so many similar people in the world, so he deceived you, and I didn't think about your reaction, and it was really as this king guessed. Wu Yong and Liu Yun looked at each other, they were still young after all, and they didn't expect Liu Chong to deceive them with the side of the princes and kings.

So Wu Yong gave up his hand again and again, and said with a wry smile: "The king is really thoughtful, and the kid is convinced." Liu Chong waved his hand and sighed: "It's a pity that the King of Bohai Sea, if he can persevere, there will be no other situation, and he won't have to end up ruining the country." Liu Yun and Liu Lan hurriedly fell to the ground, crying and saying, "Please also ask Uncle Chen Wang to be the master of our sisters." Liu Pet was silent for a while, then shook his head,

"I'm sorry, but this king can't do anything about your family's affairs now." Both sisters were a little disappointed, and Liu Yun shouted loudly: "Uncle Chen, when my father was alive, he once said that you were good at everything, but you are too forward-looking, the Han family is in decline, the court is turbulent, the eunuchs are in power, and you have framed loyal ministers, at this time, you should stand up and carry the banner of supporting the Han family to eradicate the evil spirits." Now that the Han family has reached the most critical moment, the four-hundred-year-old Han foundation is in danger, hanging by a thread, Uncle Wang, what are you still hesitating about. "After several generations of King Chen's hard work, Chen Guo can be said to be the richest among the many Han feudal states.

Liu Pet is very capable, he originally wanted to be an innocent and loyal 'idle king', because he is a clan member of the Han family, and he doesn't want to arouse suspicion.

However, Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, was framed by the eunuch Wang Fu for rebellion and forced to commit suicide in prison, which touched Liu Zhong deeply.

He was saddened by the decline of the Han family and wanted to contribute his own strength, although he had been staying in the Chen State, Liu Chong was always worried about the future of the Han family.

To this end, he did not hesitate to take a huge risk and led his trusted vassals to worship the gods. But he couldn't tell outsiders about this, and he was also worried about being reprimanded by Liu Hong, the son of heaven.

Seeing that Liu Pet still didn't say anything, Liu Yun continued: "Others say that Uncle Chen loves the people like a son and governs well, he is a rare master, can he bear to watch the eunuchs mess with the world?" Liu Pet shook his head with a complicated expression,

"Needless to say, this king can only help you in secret for revenge." When Liu Yun heard this, although he was a little disappointed, it was better than King Chen's promise of everything, so he bowed down again and said: "My niece believes that Uncle Chen's heart is always connected with the Han family, and she can't sit idly by. Next, the atmosphere in the hall was a little heavy, everyone was silently thinking about their hearts, and no one stood up to toast at this time.

Wu Yong ate some food at will, and then asked Chen Wang Liu Pet to say goodbye. Liu Pet did not do much to keep it, but asked Minister Wei Su to send Wu Yong and others for him.

After a while, Wei Su returned to the main hall, but was told that Liu Chong had summoned him in the study. So he said goodbye to his colleagues and hurried to the study.

At this time, Liu Chong was practicing calligraphy, and when he saw Wei Yu coming in, he didn't raise his head and asked, "What does the Minister of State think of Wu Yong?" Can you be sure of wooing? "As mentioned earlier, the so-called prime minister is actually the prime minister of the vassal state, who is in charge of all the political affairs of the vassal state.

The princes and kings basically did not care, because they had no military power, no administrative power, only the right to collect taxes.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented the Tui'en Order, the princes and kings of the Han family have been relatively weak, and their actual power has become worse and worse.

By the time Liu Pet was a prince like Liu Pet in the late Han Dynasty, he basically had no power, and Liu Pet was also the only one among the dozens of princely states in the late Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei, Liu Biao, Liu Dai, Liu Miao and others, although they are all relatives of the Han family, they are not princes and kings, just because they are not princes and kings, so they can become feudal officials in the imperial court.

On the other hand, those vassal states in the late Han Dynasty were all unknown people, and even in the magnificent history of the Three Kingdoms, they did not even have a name.

For example, Liu Cheng, King of Qi, Liu Zhi, King of Zhongshan, Liu Mi, King of Liang, Liu Kai, King of Dongping, etc. These people, it's good to be able to leave a name, and it's hard to find even deeds.

It is precisely because they have the identity of a prince and king that they have no qualifications to dominate the world when the troubled times come, and their identity just restricts them, so that they cannot serve as the controllers of states and counties.

couldn't control the actual power, which made the world of the Han family stolen by Cao Cao. If the princes of the Han family can have more characters like King Chen and Liu Chong, even if the Han Emperor declines, it will be like the end of the Western Han Dynasty, with Liu Xiu, the first emperor Liu Xuan and other clansmen surnamed Liu standing up.

Wei Su is a native of Huiji Shangyu and a local clan. According to the law of the imperial court, he originally had little to do with the princes and kings.

However, from the case of Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, it is not difficult to see that when the princes and kings have accidents, the minister of state is often the first person to be implicated.

Moreover, this rebellion of Xu Zhao led to heavy losses to many clans in Huiji County, and Wei Su's family was also one of them.

It is precisely because of this that Wei Su dared to sacrifice to heaven with Liu Pet, in order to get closer to Liu Pet.

Wei Yu thought for a while before he spoke: "The king's meaning is also understood by his subordinates. But when the time has not come, it is better to be patient for the time being, and not to act recklessly. After all, Wu Yong is the Son of Heaven's attendant, if he knows that the king has sacrificed, he will inform the Son of Heaven and ask for merit. As the prime minister of Chen Guoguo, Wei Su is very clear about Liu Chong's thoughts, he will not stop Liu Chong's behavior, but he will not gamble his future into it.

"It seems that this can only be the case, fortunately, I caught Wu Yong's handle this time, and I know that he is not a foolish and loyal son of heaven, and he will fight for it in the future." Liu Pet was a little disappointed, but he was also very happy to have this harvest today.

In the past, Liu Pet may not have had any unusual thoughts, but now he looks down on Liu Hong, the son of heaven, more and more, and allows the eunuchs to brutalize the clan, so that the minds of these princes and kings are a little impatient.

Although the princes and kings did not have any actual power, after all, they all had a lot of wealth accumulated over generations, and they were unwilling to have nothing, so some careful thoughts in their hearts were activated.

When Wei Yu heard Liu Chong's words, he no longer stopped him.

"Your Majesty, since you can understand, then your subordinates won't say much, we have to see what the other princes and kings do now, see how they respond, and don't let us rush to take the lead first." Liu Pet nodded,

"Prime minister, what you say is very true, and this king listens to you."
