Chapter IX: Secret Deliberations

For a long time, Liu Anshi, the king of Yong'an, picked up the teacup, breathed the aroma of the tea in the cup, and took a sip, "Good tea! This should be the 'autumn rain dew' just picked in autumn today, right?" Tea picking is divided into "tea before the Ming Dynasty" and "tea after the rain" are all harvested during the Qingming or Guyu period, and the unique "Xia Dragon Soul" of Daxia is the best drink to pick and pay tribute to the royal family at this time, and the southeast coast and other places have 10,000 acres of fertile land to grow. And this 'autumn rain and dew' is grown between the low mountains and valleys, the unique climate and environment in the south make it unique growth, plus just after the beginning of the autumn unique picking, so that it adds a mysterious color, and often drink this tea can clear the mind and strengthen the brain, it is really the top grade, even this is also the king of the capital from afar also praised it

"Hehe, I have only these few things in the south that can't be on the table, if the prince doesn't dislike it, Ben Hou ordered someone to prepare some early, so that the prince can enjoy it slowly after returning to the capital" Huang Feihu also said unhurriedly

"Then the king is disrespectful, thank you mighty marquis"

"Just a little tea, why worry about it"

"I heard that Uncle Yongmeng and his youngest daughter should be in their early twenties now, right?" asked King Yong'an then asked Huang Feibao on the side

"Not married yet, does the prince have a suitable candidate?" Huang Feibao was also unambiguous and said bluntly

"This king is also a matchmaker this time, hehe! This king has a total of four sons under his knees, only the youngest is not married, and he is also in his early twenties this year, serving in the criminal department. I don't know if the old marquis, the mighty marquis and the brave man can be satisfied with this, and are they willing to make a family with this king?" said King Yong'an excitedly

"The fourth son of the prince is impeccable, our elders have agreed, but as for the attitude of the juniors, it depends on the juniors themselves, come and call the third lady out, and by the way, invite the two ladies out" The old man said with a final word

"What the old marquis said is, Ran'er, come out and show the old marquis" King Yong'an immediately said to a slender man wearing an orange robe who walked out of his entourage, and saluted to everyone in the Yellow Mansion, "Liu Ran meets all the uncles and elders."

"What a powerful young man, one sentence will resolve the trend of officialdom and inferiority, as the fourth son of the prince, Liu Ran is not polite to call the Hou Ye of the opposite sex and others, and he is not polite and lacks cultivation, so Liu Ran chose a neutral ordinary family to meet, and he is sincere to the sincerity, wonderful! He is a child of the royal family, and he will at least be a hereditary earl in the future, but he is still relying on himself to serve in the criminal department, and he follows everyone in a decent manner, without the arrogant habit of being an emperor and noble, Ya!" Everyone in the Huangfu was not emotional, and gave a two-word evaluation at the first time

"The nephew is polite" Shenwei Hou couldn't help but say, and he simply called it an ordinary family to show his kindness

After a long time, two beautiful women walked into the hall, followed by a beautiful woman in a long skirt, tall and tall, with hair like a waterfall, walked in, looked around and saluted, "The concubine (little girl) greets the king of Yong'an"

"No courtesy, sister-in-law, it's not the first time we've met, so things must be clearer, I don't know what Jiali means?"

Huang Jiali is not as lively and cute as Jiaying, no rudeness, and looks like a beautiful girl. After asking about the major events of his life, he just looked at the fourth son of the prince in front of him and thought for a while and said, "The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, but I still ask the little prince to stay with me for a while and then make a decision, to see if it is suitable for each other?"

Huang Yi had seen the third sister a few times after the withdrawal of troops and before the celebration ceremony, and Huang Yi felt that he was quiet but lively, formal but not polite. Huang Jiali's words not only maintained both sides, but also full of curiosity about the young man in front of her, afraid that it would be a pity if it was really a good destination to lose, and he would have three crowns in one word!

"That's very good, Ran'er, go out for a walk with the third lady of the Huang family," King Yong'an commanded

"Yes, father" Liu Ran immediately waited for Huang Jiali obediently, and followed out after he could salute

"What a silly boy!" Huang Feibao couldn't help laughing loudly, completely regardless of the occasion, there was no one else here

After waiting for the juniors and idle people to leave, the lively hall finally returned to calm and returned to business, which is why at such a grim moment, the reason why the younger brother of the Great Xia Emperor, King Yong'an, came all the way to the south is not simply for the reward, for the marriage of children, it must be a more important event.

There were only a few people left in the house, and finally, King Yong'an spoke, "The emperor is in a coma so far, and the day of his death is not far away, and the imperial doctor is carefully served, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive the beginning of spring next year. My mother and I are also struggling to move in the court, some time ago, I can't secretly edict Brother Feihu to you, just in case of accidents, now it seems that I can't wait, so this time I borrowed the reward to come in person, so that I can discuss with my uncle, Brother Feihu and Flying Leopard" After no outsiders, King Yong'an couldn't help but say his heartfelt words

"The emperor did not appoint a prince, but now he suddenly fell to the ground, and the temperament of the eldest prince Liu Feng and others is also well-known, selfish, arrogant, and greedy Jiangxia King Shun, what a litter of fox dogs!" Huang Feibao said indignantly

"Selfishness, arrogance, and greed are better than colluding with foreign races, betraying Great Xia is serious, according to reliable information, Jiangxia Wang Shun and others have also colluded with barbarians, etc., in a vain attempt to once the country fails, come to the inside and the outside to cooperate" Huang Feihu couldn't help but say

"According to my saying that the emperor does not stand up and does not stand up, there seems to be no suitable prince, the emperor has favored Concubine Lan since the death of Empress Xiao, and Concubine Lan is also a barbaric and troubled king, so that there are few princes, for today's plan, if you want to convince the world, you still need orthodoxy!" The old man also sighed on the side, and then continued, "I mean, Lord, as the emperor's younger brother and the current queen mother's concubine, you have to take on this great responsibility"

"Answan never dares, just want the country and the people to be safe, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and not let the ancestral foundation be ruined!" King Yong'an couldn't help but shirk after hearing this

"Why don't you dare, there is no suitable prince today, the eldest prince and the king of Jiangxia are friends and traitors, and the closest royal family is only you King Yong'an, not to mention that you are also the orthodox emperor, the original emperor named you the emperor's younger brother, and you died to prevaricate to lead to today's incident!" Originally, the emperor saw that a few princes were not successful, and he didn't want the decline of Daxia to deliberately canonize this younger brother, but King Yongan mistakenly thought it was to test whether he had ambitions, and he resigned.

"I never had this thought, I discussed with my mother, or choose a young prince to support, and even invite the old marquis to enter Beijing to sit in the town. The Huang family is a veteran of many dynasties, and his protégés and former officials are all over the country, and once there is a big change in the DPRK, it will be good to represent the Heavenly Prison Country!"

"Decades ago, my Huang family was deprived of military power because of his high merits, and twenty years ago, he was sealed to guard the four southern provinces because of his merits! Fame and fortune are all fleeting, I am old, and I have already looked down on it!"

"Old Marquis, I won't tell you, there is only the Criminal Department within the six departments, and the Ministry of Industry is in my hands. Only part of the top ten battalions is under my control, in addition, they all fell to Liu Feng and others, and Liu Cheng, the king of Mobei stationed in the north, also has no way to say, now only your southern Huangfu is my last support, the old marquis, Brother Flying Tiger, Brother Flying Leopard still hope that you can help me. Liu Anshi stood up and saluted

"Yes, please also ask the two Hou Ye Nian to come out and preside over justice in the world!" The two brocade-robed men left behind by King Yong'an also stood up and saluted, and the two men were obviously important presences in Great Xia in such a meeting, the older one was Yang Jinzhong, the left minister, and the other who was thin was Liu Ziqing, the prince of Anjun, the concubine of the former emperor

"The prince is serious, the two adults should also get up. It's not that I don't want to be an old man, it's just that I'm really old, or you can decide if you fly tigers and leopards," the old man said unhurriedly

"I don't know what the prince needs me to do?" Huang Feihu said after thinking

"Unchanged, the emperor has not died now, any wind and grass will cause the world to speak, once the emperor dies, then with the queen mother's secret edict immediately starry night and lead the troops to come to mourn. King Yong'an said calmly

"In case after the emperor dies, before we come to offer condolences, Liu Feng and the others will do it first, won't the world change hands?" Huang Feibao couldn't help frowning when he heard this

"I can't guarantee that before the Huang Jiajun enters Beijing, I Liu Anshi still has the strength to protect myself," Liu Anshi said slowly

"So very good" With this ally, Huang Feihu can be regarded as relieved, the world is not dominated by his Huang family. When the dynasty changed, the new emperor was easy to reject a powerful feudal official like him, and Liu Anshi knew the roots and was more at ease.

"Then I won't stay for a long time, I have to go back to Beijing on a starry night, Liu Ran will stay in Huangfu first, I hope we can become in-laws" After hearing Huang Feihu's promise, Liu Anshi couldn't help but feel relieved

"Then the prince, I'll wait in the south for a while," Huang Feihu immediately clasped his fists and saluted

An earth-shattering plot ended with this last polite remark. After King Yong'an and others said goodbye, in the secret room of the Huang family, the father and son of the Huang family sat quietly
