"Worship the general, fake festivals, give charms, and act cheaply······"

"Hey!"

"Father is really generous to his cousin?"

Together with the fifth brother Liu Fei and younger brother Liu Sheng, walking on the road to the east gate of Chang'an-Qingming Gate, Liu Pengzu said a little jokingly;

Seeing that Liu Sheng didn't speak, Liu Pengzu added: "Xingyang, between Hangu Pass and Suiyang, is only a few hundred miles away from Suiyang. ”

"With Uncle Cousin leading the army to garrison Xingyang, and King Liang staying in Suiyang City, there shouldn't be any danger?"

"-After all, it was the emperor's grandmother who decided to lead the army to the expedition;

"Before going on the expedition, the imperial grandmother will definitely hand over to Uncle Liang again and again: as long as Uncle Liang asks for help, he must send troops to support Suiyang!"

"For this explanation of the emperor's grandmother, I'm afraid that even my father and the emperor don't have a very good way······"

Liu Pengzu whispered again, but still failed to get Liu Sheng to talk;

On the contrary, Liu Fei, the fifth elder who was dressed in armor, holding the reins lightly in his hand, and leading the war horse, exhaled a little seriously.

"Indeed, as Lao Qi said: With Uncle Cousin, the 'great general', guarding Xingyang, and Uncle Liang Wang in Suiyang, he will not encounter too much danger."

"It's just that I'm a little worried that Liu Bi's rebels may take advantage of this······"

"——If the rebels feint to attack Suiyang and attract the general to support Suiyang, but instead allow the rebels to 'attack the east and attack the west' and open up the situation from Xingyang, I am afraid that the trend of the war will be completely out of control!"

"At that time, let alone Uncle Liang;

"All the Liu clan relatives in the world, except for those who rebelled, must be in danger of everyone······"

As they talked, the two brothers sighed;

It seems that he is very worried about his cousin, the freshly baked general Dou Ying.

Feeling the pessimism of the two brothers, Rao is Liu Sheng, who had long made up his mind not to comment on the affairs of the DPRK and China, had to shake his head with a wry smile.

"Xingyang, there won't be a problem."

"-Even if Suiyang City is broken, King Liang is dead, and Xingyang is dead, there will definitely be no problems."

said indifferently, which provoked Liu Fei and Liu Pengzu to look at each other;

Seeing Liu Shengyun said lightly: "Uncle Cousin was worshiped as a general by his father, and led the army to defend Xingyang, which was indeed promoted by the emperor's grandmother. ”

"It's true that as my brother said: Xingyang is only hundreds of miles west of Suiyang;"

"——The rebels are coming from the east, and if Uncle Liang Wang feels that the situation is wrong, he can indeed quickly ask for help from the general behind him."

"However, my cousin, who is a general, will never support Uncle Liang······"

"No matter what kind of explanation the imperial grandmother made before the expedition, my cousin will never move a single soldier or a pawn in Xingyang······"

Saying this, Liu Sheng couldn't help but shake his head with embarrassment, and let out a long sigh leisurely.

"The reason is simple."

"First of all, Uncle Cousin can be worshiped as a general, which is enough to prove: Uncle Cousin has convincing ability for the matter of the battle array;"

"If this is not the case, then even if the emperor's grandmother makes a move, the father will not be so generous, it is a fake festival, and it is a talisman, and he also allows his cousin to 'act cheaply'."

"Therefore, Uncle Cousin must understand: the importance of Xingyang is far higher than the importance of Suiyang."

"- Suiyang City is broken, although it will shake Guanzhong, but there is always room for redemption in the war;"

"But if something goes wrong in Xingyang, especially in Aocang, and even in Luoyang, the eastern capital, then in this world, I'm afraid that the country will really change color······"

Hearing Liu Sheng's words, Liu Pengzu only nodded thoughtfully;

It was Liu Fei on the side, who also thought about it secretly, and then looked at Liu Sheng with an approved face: "That's true." ”

Seeing that the two brothers understood, Liu Sheng couldn't help but stop talking for a while.

Looking at Liu Fei, the fifth brother who was dressed in armor and holding a war horse, and was about to leave Chang'an and go to Kanto after a while, Liu Sheng thought for a moment, and finally decided to continue.

"For my cousin's move of 'not supporting King Liang', even if the imperial grandmother is angry, she will not blame her too much."

"-Because the imperial grandmother must also understand: Suiyang is lost, and it is Uncle Liang who died;"

"But if Xingyang is lost, it will be my Han family temple and Sheji ······ who will die."

"In addition, there is another reason, which will also prompt Uncle Cousin to be stationed in Xingyang very firmly, and he will definitely not pay attention to Uncle Liang's request for help."

"-Uncle Liang, I want to be the prince;"

"And Uncle Cousin is the prince and concubine that my father prepared for my eldest brother in the past······"

"Especially after this battle, my cousin's qualifications and prestige will rise greatly, and it is even very likely that he will be made a marquis."

"The eldest brother will be the prince, and the cousin will be the prince and the prince, and there will be no more problems."

"Therefore, as the eldest brother, the crown prince and cousin, it is impossible for Uncle Liang to express any ······ to Uncle Liang's request for help."

As Liu Sheng became more and more profoundly interpreted, the faces of Liu Fei and Liu Pengzu brothers immediately took on a touch of gloom.

And Liu Sheng's gaze fell on the fifth brother Liu Fei impartially.

"Yesterday, the emperor's grandmother summoned the fifth brother into the palace, it should also be the matter of King Liang, and she gave an explanation to the fifth brother, right?"

asked softly, causing Liu Pengzu to turn his head in surprise;

saw Liu Fei nodding solemnly, bowed his head again, and touched the general seal hanging on his waist.

"The imperial grandmother said: General's seal, you can give it to me;"

"I will also be allowed to lead the army to quell the rebellion."

"But the imperial grandmother asked me to promise: if something happens to Suiyang, I must immediately leave everything in my hands, no matter where I am, I must support Suiyang non-stop."

As he spoke, Liu Fei couldn't help but raise his head slightly, and touched the necks of the high-headed horses around him with a complicated expression.

"——In order to allow me to support Uncle Liang as soon as possible at that time, the imperial grandmother even selected this best horse from the Changle stable and gave it to me······"

"But this time I went on an expedition, but it was Zhao ·········"

Hearing Liu Fei's bitter words, the two brothers Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu also lowered their heads inexplicably and neatly, and secretly thought about how to deal with Liu Fei.

At present, the rebellion has broken out, and the Chang'an court has reacted quickly.

The counterinsurgency army, which had been prepared for a long time, had also marched in the direction of Hangu Pass in the east and Wuguan Pass in the south.

Among them, the 100,000 army led by Liu She, the prince of Taohou, went south from Chang'an and was stationed in the Wuguan-Lantian area;

The 100,000-strong army led by the general Dou Ying went east from Chang'an and went straight to the Xingyang-Aocang line east of Hangu Pass and south of Suiyang, the capital of Liang.

The third army, led by Hou Liji of Quzhou, has also gone out with Dou Ying.

It's just that the soldiers and horses led by Li Ji will not stop after arriving at the Xingyang-Aocang line; Instead, they will turn north and head towards Handan, the capital of Zhao State.

And Liu Fei's expedition this time was classified under the command of Li Ji······

"Fifth brother doesn't have to worry too much;"

"After all, Liang Guo is also very important, and the court has no intention of letting Liang Guo die on his own."

"When necessary, Guanzhong will definitely send reinforcements to support Suiyang."

"As for the fifth brother, just listen to the orders under the tent of Qu Zhouhou with peace of mind, and do what you have to do."

"——After the war, if the imperial grandmother asks, the fifth brother can tell the imperial grandmother: originally planned to support Uncle Liang Wang, but was rejected by Qu Zhouhou."

"As a general, the fifth brother couldn't disobey the commander's military orders, so he couldn't support Uncle Liang Wang."

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Sheng could only give such a solution that was not a solution;

When Liu Fei heard this, he had to sigh bitterly and nodded: "That's the only way to do it······"

"If I do this, I'm afraid I will live up to my grandmother's trust in me······"

Hearing this, Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng only smiled bitterly and lowered their heads, but did not speak again.

——As the saying goes: every family has a scripture that is difficult to read;

Even the clan royal family, dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren all have their own helplessness······

Just accompanied Liu Fei all the way, walked out of the Qingming Gate, and sent it out for three or five miles, and the three brothers slowly stopped.

Seeing Liu Fei putting on a posture of 'don't send it anymore, I should go', and seeing in the distance, hundreds of relatives and guards who were quietly waiting for Liu Fei, Liu Sheng thought about it again and again, and finally let out a sigh.

"Fifth brother, are you really not saying goodbye to Mrs. Cheng?"

"After all, it is his biological mother, and the fifth brother is on this expedition, and the one who is most worried about the fifth brother should be Mrs. Cheng······"

But when he saw Liu Fei hearing this, he shook his head with a bitter smile.

"My mother didn't agree with my expedition, but my father and grandmother nodded first, and my mother didn't say anything······"

As he spoke, Liu Fei smiled again, raised his hand slightly, and looked around him.

"The fourth, sixth, and eighth brothers wanted to send me, but they were all stopped by my mother."

"Instead, you two came to send me ······"

"Alas~"

"—that's it for now."

"When the victory returns, no matter how angry my mother is, her anger should be gone······"

Hearing this, the brothers Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng also shook their heads with a little sigh.

In the end, it was Liu Sheng who stood up, stretched out his hand, and looked left and right on the chain mail on Liu Fei's body;

While busy with his hands, Liu Sheng did not forget to say with relief: "Fifth brother, rest assured; ”

"With the fourth brother by her side to take care of her, no matter how sad Mrs. Cheng is, she will always be discouraged."

"My brother and I will also take care of it, and nothing can go wrong."

"It's just the fifth brother, but you must take care of yourself, don't make any mistakes."

"When the fifth brother returns triumphantly, my younger brother and I will personally set up a banquet for the fifth brother to catch the wind and wash the dust······"

Feeling Liu Sheng's concern, Liu Fei couldn't help but smile and nodded slightly at Liu Sheng.

When Liu Sheng withdrew his hand and retreated to his brother Liu Pengzu's side, he saw Liu Fei suddenly straighten his waist and bow his hand to the two brothers!

"Brother, I'm going to go out to quell the rebellion!"

"-I don't know how long it will take to return to Chang'an again."

"My mother, please ask the two younger brothers to take care of them in the palace······"

Seeing this, the two brothers, Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng, hurriedly straightened up and arched their hands at Liu Fei.

"Brother go by himself;"

"Wanwan, take care ······"

·

At the same time, Changle Palace.

Sitting in the gazebo, looking at Cheng Ji beside her, her expression was full of sluggishness, and Mrs. Jia couldn't help but stretch out her hand a little and patted the back of Cheng Ji's hand.

"The fifth child is gone, and he will return safely······"

The words of gentle persuasion only provoked Cheng Jiqiang to squeeze out a smile, and shook his head full of sorrow.

"This kid has his own attention when he is young;"

"When I'm old, I can't control it as a mother·······"

"Alas~"

"I can only hope that the situation, as Mrs. Jia said, will be blessed by the ancestors and let that kid return safely······"

Hearing this, Mrs. Jia only chuckled and patted the back of Cheng Ji's hand again, which was supposed to be comforting.

Hearing the conversation between the two ladies, Li Ji on the side immediately showed a little displeasure on her face.

"What to pretend!"

"If it weren't for the mother's instigation, a fifteen-year-old baby would have the courage to go out to kill the enemy?"

"-I'm afraid that some people have moved their minds that shouldn't be moved, thinking that if they set up some martial arts, they can get their hands on things that don't belong to them!"

The sarcastic words with guns and sticks made Mrs. Cheng's face suddenly stiffen, and she subconsciously raised her head and said something.

But after seeing the undisguised disgust on Li Ji's face, Cheng Ji couldn't help but look stunned;

After thinking about it for a moment, he finally shook his head helplessly.

Because of this moment, Mrs. Cheng suddenly remembered something that her son Liu Fei had told her before.

- This matter was still talked about by Xiaojiu Liu Sheng and Liu Fei in private.

Liu Sheng said: In this world, there are noble people, and naturally, there are also despicable people.

The noble disdain to associate himself with the vile;

And the despicable people do not think that there are truly noble people in this world at all.

In the eyes of these despicable people, those people are noble only because they have not yet received enough bargaining chips to bow their heads and become more and more despicable;

It's like in the eyes of a dusty woman, the reason why everyone doesn't rely on skin and flesh to make a profit is just because the price offered by piao customers is not high enough······

Seeing that Cheng Ji didn't open her mouth to refute, Li Ji only thought that she had hit Cheng Ji's sore spot, and while she was proud, she didn't forget to snort coldly at Cheng Ji;

Beside Cheng Ji, feeling the gradually weird atmosphere in the pavilion, Wang Meiren also chuckled a little embarrassedly, and then opened her mouth to change the topic.

"I don't know what the Queen Mother called us to this Changle Palace today······

"-Don't you want King Liang to be the crown prince, just look at us ladies who are not pleasing to the eye?!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Meiren's words came out, she attracted Li Ji's resentful reprimand.

However, Mrs. Jia, the mother of Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng, saw that Cheng Ji and Tang Ji's eyes were also looking at her, so she subconsciously raised her head and looked in the direction where Li Ji was.

"Humph!"

"Isn't it just the son who was born, favored by the Queen Mother!"

"-What's the big deal!"

Although she said this, Li Ji looked at Mrs. Jia with some doubts.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jia had no choice but to sigh secretly, and subconsciously took Cheng Ji's hand next to her.

"What the Queen Mother wants to do, Sheng'er doesn't know much."

"It's just that when I was about to go out, Sheng'er told me that no matter what the Queen Mother said, I had to follow the Queen Mother's wishes······"

Hearing this, Cheng Ji, Tang Ji, and Wang Meiren all nodded slowly.

"Yes;"

"Follow the queen mother's will, it's always right······"

"-Humph!"

It was Kurihime again, and she let out a cold snort full of anger, and her face immediately took on the look of annoyance;

Then, despite the fact that he was in Changle Palace, he accused the Empress Dowager Dou in front of Cheng Ji, Tang Ji, Mrs. Jia, and Wang Meiren.

"As the emperor's mother, she always thinks about passing on the throne to other sons, what is the reason?"

"This is what the Queen Mother should do?!"

"That is, Your Majesty is filial and does not dare to disobey his mother."

"Or ······"

"-Otherwise, how~"

Before Kurihime's words fell, a muffled inquiry sounded outside the pavilion, causing the rest of the ladies to hurriedly stand up.

"Concubines, etc., see Queen Mother's ······"

Hearing that behind him, the voice of the Empress Dowager Dou seemed to be casual, but there was a faint cold inquiry, Li Ji was only stunned for a moment;

After reacting, he hurriedly turned around and was about to salute the Empress Dowager Dou, but saw that the Empress Dowager Dou had already stepped forward by herself and sat down in the pavilion.

"The truth of being the queen mother, I really don't understand as Li Ji."

"But Kurihime, don't be too anxious~"

"When I close my eyes, this Changle Palace, it will be Li Ji's turn to live······"

was full of calm and indifferent tones, but it caused several ladies in the pavilion to bow their heads deeply, and they didn't dare to look at the Empress Dowager Dou again.

As for Li Ji, although there was a panicked look on her face, there was still a little resentment between her eyebrows······

"If Kurihime is not feeling well, then go back."

"After I go back, I can tell the emperor: The queen mother has no virtue~"

"-No Bongjong Temple~"

"Then, this Changle Palace can be given to Li Ji, the 'lady', to live;"

"The queen of the Jiaofang Palace, you can also call Li Ji the 'queen mother'······"

It was still the tone of indifferent words that seemed to be idle talk, but it finally caused Li Ji to tremble slightly.

It's just that in this pavilion, no one can tell whether Kurihime's trembling at this time is due to fear······

With a stiff expression and a stiff expression, Li Ji sat down, and lowered her head with a depressed expression, so that Empress Dowager Dou's attention was finally removed from herself.

I saw that the Empress Dowager Dou took a deep breath and cast her sloppy gaze in front of her, which was half a zhang long and wide.

"I heard that on weekdays, when you are bored and bored in the palace, you will 'play'."

"And they will use their own jewelry as a 'color head'?"

The soft words made several ladies a little uneasy, but seeing that the Empress Dowager Dou only smiled easily, turned sideways, and moved the jewelry box beside her to the wooden case.

"I'm old~"

"But on weekdays, I'm in the palace, and I'm also very bored."

"That's why I asked you to come to Changle Palace, so that I can teach me, how should I play this 'game show'?"

"——I have prepared a lot of jewelry for making 'color heads'."

"Ladies, how about accompanying me, a blind old woman, to play a 'game show'?"

The power outage in the afternoon, the code code is late, the second watch is too late, today the first one, the one that owes will be made up tomorrow.
