Chapter 1: Liu Yu, King of Qi (II)

Zhu Yushi and his entourage returned to the Central Plains, and Liu Lin, in order to please Zhu Zhirui, specially invited everyone to come to Luoyang for a few days, so that Zhu Zhirui and his family could be reunited. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info arrived in Luoyang, he found that the defenders were three times more than usual, and he inquired only to learn that Liu Yu, the king of Qi, was very fond of the newly acquired Concubine Li, and accompanied Concubine Li to visit Luoyang. In order to demonstrate the authority of the king, he wanted to live in the Luoyang Palace with Concubine Li, but the palace was in disrepair and the Qi State was short of money, so he had to retreat and choose the most luxurious mansion in the city as a temporary residence, and this mansion was of course the Zhu family. Zhu Wanshan dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he had to move to the house of his eldest son Zhu Fuguo with his family.

After learning the news, Zhu Zhirui went to her brother's house alone to visit her family, and the others went to see Liu Yu, so there was no need to go to Bianliang. Zhu Zhirui whispered to Zhu Yushi before leaving: "When you are free, go to the house to find me." Zhu Yushi nodded, Liu Lin saw it in his eyes, his face was full of jealousy, but 'Fu Chou' is now Lei Zhen's celebrity, and Qi Guo also has to rely on the horse gang, so he doesn't dare to really attack.

After everyone arrived at Zhu's mansion, they saw that the door was heavily guarded, and the soldiers bowed down when they saw Liu Lin. Liu Lin led the team straight into the door of the mansion, and after asking the servants, he learned that Liu Yuzheng and Concubine Li were enjoying flowers and drinking in the back garden. It turned out that after Zhu Zhirui left, Zhu Wanshan saw the flowers and thought about the people, and invited three gardeners to take care of the peonies in the garden. Concubine Li especially loves peonies, lingers at first sight, admires flowers and eats wine in the pavilion every day, and sings words and plays songs. Liu Yu was also satisfied with the favor of his concubine.

And the people sat in the hall and waited, and the servants went to tell the king of Qi. After an hour, no one came, Liu Lin was the most anxious, and walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back. After another half an hour, Liu Yu arrived.

Perhaps because of the visitor, Liu Yu appeared on the stage with great pomp, first four little eunuchs held the dust, bowed into the hall door, Liu Yu was wearing a silk veil vermilion nine dragon bubbles, wearing a crown of heaven, a posture of listening to politics in the court, when crossing the threshold, a eunuch hurriedly picked up his curry. Liu Yu was born in Jinshi, with a white face and a long beard, graceful and dignified, but he also has a bit of an emperor's appearance, but now his eyes are drooping, his eyes are dull, his face is as pale as paper, and he looks like he is overly wine-colored. Next to her is a stunning beauty, about twenty years old, richly dressed, apricot eyes with spring, graceful posture, cherry mouth smiled slightly and revealed a pair of lovely pear vortex, it must be the newly favored concubine, such a stunner, no wonder Liu Yu is fascinated. Behind them were eight palace maids with barrier fans, followed by ten personal soldiers.

The hall was full of people all of a sudden, and Liu Lin led everyone to kneel down and said, "Long live my father, long live, long live." Zhu Yushi and Ling Xudu were reluctant to kneel, but they had to kneel down. In order to show the prestige of the Son of Heaven, Liu Yu did not ask them to be flat immediately, but waited for himself and Concubine Li to sit down, and then looked at them before saying, "Sit down." Everyone said, "Thank you." ”

After everyone sat down again, Liu Lin said: "There are also a few heroes of the horse gang who came to meet my father this time, please allow the child to introduce them on his behalf." Liu Yu nodded and said, "The leader of the Lei Gang has seen this king, and who are the others?" Liu Lin introduced Fu Chou, Shi Tong, Ling Hu, and the Qin brothers. Liu Yu yawned again and again when he heard this, and said: "I know, you went all the way to Tubo to buy horses, what is the result?" Liu Lin said: "I have not dishonored my mission, I have purchased 15,000 war horses for my Daqi, and they will be delivered in a few days." Liu Yu said lightly: "Very good, the matter of training cavalry will be handed over to you in the future." This king is tired, do you have anything to do?" Liu Lin hesitated for a moment, wondering: "There is indeed a matter that asks my father to call the shots." Liu Yu said: "What's the matter?" Liu Lin said: "The Lei Gang Master wants to ask his father to give him all the land within a radius of 200 miles from Junshan. ”

Liu Yu suddenly became sleepy, and his eyes widened and said, "What? Two hundred miles of land? Does it also include the city?" Liu Lin said: "Yes... Yes. Liu Yu's face turned cold, and he looked at Lei Zhen coldly and said, "Isn't the helper too much?" Lei Zhen smiled: "I don't dare to ask for no reason, the specific reason is to ask the prince and the national teacher to explain." ”

Lin Lingsu coughed lightly and said: "Here's the thing, the old man unintentionally harmed the people of the Lei Gang Master, the Lei Gang Master was very dissatisfied, so he looked for the prince and the poor Dao theory, and the poor Dao had promised to marry the little girl, that is, the 'Jingqing Princess' of the Holy Lord, but the Lei Gang Master was not satisfied, so he asked the prince for land, and the prince had no right to make the decision, so he could only come to ask His Majesty to decide." Liu Yu said dissatisfiedly: "It's just a human life, if the leader of the Lei Gang has a princess, why should he get Long Wangshu?" Lei Zhen said: "Although the human life is small, it is related to the prestige of my horse gang. Liu Yu said: "Two hundred miles is too big, and this king can't agree." Lei Zhenxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "That is the case, then Lei said goodbye, please take care of the saint." Liu Yu said: "Where is the main Lei Gang going?" Lei Zhen said: "Of course, the Hui Gang will inform the brothers of His Majesty's ruling, and the brothers will be chilled when they hear it, and our cooperation will end here." Liu Yu said angrily: "You dare to threaten me?" Lei Zhen smiled: "Don't dare, just tell the truth." ”

After saying that, he turned his head and left, Zhu Yushi and the others also got up to follow, Lin Lingsu suddenly said: "Lei Gang Master, please stay." Then he walked up to Liu Yu, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear, Liu Yu's face changed slightly, his long eyebrows tightened, he sighed, beckoned to Lei Zhen and said, "Lei Gang Master, let's talk about it again." Lei Zhen smiled and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, but you agreed to your proposal?" Liu Yu paused and said: "Two hundred li is too big, if you cede it, this king can't explain to the Jin country, why don't you change it to one hundred li?" Lei Zhen lowered his face and said: "Your Majesty is the king of the Qi country, why bother with the Jin country." Not two hundred miles is not enough to show the immensity of the emperor's grace, only the women of the market can bargain. ”

Since Liu Yu was supported by the Jin State to become the emperor of the Qi State, he is as arrogant and lascivious as a nouveau riche, and he really thinks that he is the destiny of heaven, the true dragon son of heaven, and he is used to being powerful and blessed, how can he stand Lei Zhen's ridicule and sarcasm, if it wasn't for Lin Lingsu's statement to him just now, he would have smashed his cup and became angry. At this time, he was speechless in anger, and sat there staring at Lei Zhen panting.

At this time, Concubine Li "giggled" twice, and her laughter was charming, and her bones were almost crispy. Liu Yu said: "Why is Concubine Ai laughing?" Concubine Li smiled: "The concubine laughed at this Lei Gang Master's eyes and ignorance of Mount Tai, and he dared to look down on His Majesty. Lei Zhen said: "Don't dare to do it." Concubine Li said: "Isn't it just the land within a radius of 200 miles, so the king doesn't care about it." Originally, it was intended to be given to you, but I just asked you so much just to test your loyalty, but who knew that you would be rude if you didn't agree with each other, of course Your Majesty didn't like it. ”

Lei Zhen hurriedly knelt down and said: "In the next heart, I will serve Daqi and beg for land so that the horse gang can better serve His Majesty after it is strong, and I will never dare to have two hearts." Shicai was in a hurry to say nothing, hoping that His Majesty would atone for his sins. Liu Yu saved face, his face softened slightly, and he nodded. Concubine Li said: "Your Majesty, since the Lei Gang Master has admitted his mistake in public, it is better to give him the land in the opinion of the concubine, so as to show the emperor's grace and do things for me with more peace of mind." Liu Yu smiled: "What Concubine Ai said is very true. Then he lowered his face and said: "Lei Zhen, this time this king will not hold you accountable for your mistakes, but for the sake of your many years of service for our country, I will allow you to seal the land within a hundred miles of Junshan Mountain." Daxi bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Lei will never live up to Your Majesty's grace." Liu Yu said: "The delivery matter will be handed over to the national teacher, and I will order to go down and set up a banquet to entertain everyone, I am tired, you can continue to talk." After speaking, he got up and walked back to the inner courtyard with Concubine Li's hand, and everyone said in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

After the entourage also left, Lin Lingsu smiled and said to Lei Zhen: "Congratulations to Brother Lei for getting his wish, and your gang will be stronger from now on." Lei Zhen also smiled: "Thank you for the completion of Dao Chang." Lin Lingsu said: "Since the matter of ceding the land has been decided, should the marriage between the gang leader and the little girl also be decided?" Lei Zhen smiled: "Choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and go to the National Teacher's Mansion to propose marriage." Lin Lingsu said with a smile: "What else is the name of the national teacher, it's time to change the name." Lei Zhen smiled: "Yes, Lord Yue." The two laughed again. Lin Lingsu said: "We are born in the rivers and lakes, so we don't need to pay attention to the common etiquette, with the old man's intention, let's go to the church tomorrow night to get married." Lei Zhen said: "This is too wronged Miss." Lin Lingsu said: "Don't be aggrieved, being able to be the concubine of the Lei Gang Master is a blessing she cultivated in her previous life, and she can also invite His Majesty King Qi to attend the ceremony." Lei Zhen said: "That's an honor in the next place." Lin Lingsu said: "We have to celebrate such a big happy event, and we have to eat a few more cups at the banquet." Everyone present congratulated Lei Zhen. After Lei Zhen returned the salute, he smiled at Zhu Yushi: "I know that you want to meet a few people, you can go if you want to, don't participate in this kind of banquet." Zhu Yushi said: "Thank you for the helper." Lei Zhen said: "When you see Miss Zhu, you can tell her, if she wants, you don't have to go back to the horse gang with us." Zhu Yushi was stunned and said, "Can she stay in Luoyang?" Lei Zhen nodded. Zhu Yushi said: "Thank you for your trust." Lei Zhen smiled: "I have always trusted you, and besides, I am in a particularly good mood today." (To be continued.) )
