Chapter 15 I Don't Know You
It would be fine if the emperor gave him a marriage, but now he would ask about it personally. Liu Yu felt for the first time that he was so concerned about whether he was so popular.
Things happened too weird.
Liu Zhao followed the emperor's words and asked someone to prepare a betrothal gift. He sent a few servants from the mansion to take him to the Han Mansion. The simple matter made Liu Yu feel a little hasty.
When Liu Yu saw Han Sheng, he could see from Han Sheng's smile-like expression that he had expected it long ago.
"Isn't it a good thing for the emperor to be kind?" Han Sheng said evading Liu Yu's words.
"Brother Han didn't explain the situation to me? I felt like I was fooled by someone." Liu Yu held a cup of tea. It was a good thing that could hide the Han sisters' golden house, but he still couldn't be happy.
Han Sheng suddenly leaned over and whispered: "Brother Liu has been very close to a woman recently?"
Liu Yu was stunned, woman? The women around him were Zhao Zhuoer, Sui Yu, and Han sisters...
"Liu Liniang?" Liu Yu blurted out.
Han Sheng said: "Look, you think it yourself, there is something that has to be understood by Brother Liu. This is the number one prostitute in Jiangnan, but he has more or less contact with the King of Huai. With the tricks in your stomach, you probably won't understand the tricks of the period, right?"
Liu Yu was sweating a little coldly on his head. Is Liu Liniang related to King Huai? In the eyes of the emperor, he was not as good as "collusion with the enemy"?
"So, in order not to let me flow into the Huai King's faction during this troublesome autumn, the emperor gave me a marriage on the basis of giving marriage? In fact, the old emperor was to prevent his daughter's army from being used by the Huai King? I, a flat-headed boy, have no value." Liu Yu finally cleared his joints and looked up and down at Han Sheng, "Then Brother Han... what's your relationship with the emperor?"
Han Sheng smiled and said, "You have known Brother Liu for more than half a year. This day is not short. I didn't deliberately hide some things from you. Just as I said, my identity is a merchant, and there is no rank or title in the court, but I used to be a master Mu."
Mr. Mu, the father of Queen Mu, and the father-in-law who was once powerful, was surprised. What's more, this father-in-law was the first minister to assist the current emperor ascend the throne.
"Why did Brother Han approach me as a kid?" Liu Yu asked.
Han Sheng explained: "At first, you are the future husband of the Xu family. The Xu family has married many families. Unfortunately, those young men are not long-lasting, but you are strong and you survived. The emperor will let me see what kind of person you are. Who would have thought you could be a good match for you? Haha. Besides, you have always helped the ninth prince. Although he is not tolerated by the royal family, the emperor does not want him to starve to death, so I will help him secretly without revealing any traces of money."
Liu Yu suddenly remembered that Su Yan always said that he was very lucky, especially when he had a meal but had not had the last meal, he went to the gambling house to win, and nine out of ten wins. It turned out that Han Sheng secretly helped him.
"Then Brother Han is now planning for the emperor?"
“That’s right.”
Liu Yu stood up and looked at Han Sheng with an expression of three feet of water on the ground, not swaying the river. No wonder Princess Min wanted to salute when she saw him that day. It turned out that Princess Min recognized the counselor close to the emperor.
"Brother Han, you're so hard to deceive me." Liu Yu smiled bitterly, "I have said so many rebellious words on weekdays. You won't just tell the emperor just by turning your head, and then turn your head to keep the account for me, and settle it together next day, right?"
"You know some things that are so ruthless, so how can I not know? Haha, Brother Liu, don't worry, if the emperor had not valued you, he would not have given you a marriage or a marriage. This is the emperor's favor to you."
Liu Yu didn't think so. The emperor repeatedly showed good intentions, just for his unfamiliar wife. After all, the Xu family's daughter is now unparty and has no party, which can be said to be an important part of the government in the future. As long as you are grateful to the emperor, you will not follow the emperor's will and will do things at that time?
Han Sheng continued: "Speaking of this, the Ninth Prince's mansion made a big fuss in the Third Prince's Mansion this time. Although the emperor was very angry on the surface, he was indeed much more happy. Yesterday, he even had a much better appetite. You solved a problem for the emperor without revealing any trace. I also informed the emperor about the Ninth Prince's money yesterday. The emperor did not say a word, but just nodded. It can be seen that he also praised you very much. After all, whoever sees this incompetent prince now is afraid that he will not be able to avoid it. Only Brother Liu can truly plan for his future."
Liu Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Does the emperor want to cultivate this son?"
Han Sheng shook his head and said, "Just you said, the Ninth Prince is not suitable to gain a foothold in the court. He should stay away from the capital. This is a place of failure. But don't worry, he will get a chance in a few days. I hope you can help him seize it."
Opportunity? Liu Yu has been rolling in power for many years and immediately realized that the emperor was going to grant his son. After all, his deadline is approaching. If he cannot impose his son in various places before his death, it will definitely be a mess after his death. Maybe the capital will become a cemetery for various forces.
The enfeoffment actually determines the candidates who inherit the throne in the future. Whoever enfeoffs is close to the capital will have the best chance.
Liu Yu and Han Sheng consciously stopped talking about politics and instead talked about marriage. With Han Sheng's suggestions, Liu Yu's depression also opened up. However, he felt a little pity for the Han sisters. Although the Han sisters were determined, after all, this was still a political marriage, which was the means by the emperor to win him over.
"The emperor has given you a residence, which is the residence where you will marry the Xu family's daughter in the future. Because of the hasty preparations, there are still some things that have not been done. I will send my two granddaughters over when I turn back." Han Sheng said, "But Brother Liu, you should also be more restrained. After all, the wife has not yet passed the family. If you marry a concubine first, you should give the law first. My two granddaughters will take care of you as a maid. When the wedding date is set in the future, then the concubine will be decided."
Liu Yu nodded to show that he was clearly telling him that today was just an engagement, and my two granddaughters sent you to serve you as a maid. You will be allowed to do whatever you want. But all the etiquette of marriage will be decided after the Xu family girl has passed.
Liu Yu originally wanted to meet the Han sisters before leaving, but Han Sheng said that men and women should not meet each other on the day of the engagement, so Liu Yu was excited. He wanted to go to the chess building to sit, but before he could enter the chess building, he saw Su Yan waiting at the door of the chess building.
"What's the matter?" Liu Yu asked when he saw his panic.
"Master, Master, I won't tell you something." Su Yan hurriedly pulled Liu Yu's clothes.
Liu Yu frowned and asked, "Do you have to borrow money after spending the money?"
"No." Su Yan said anxiously, "Today I heard the news from the court that my father assigned several brothers to accompany the army to the border, and even my eldest and second emperor sisters had a share. Should my father ask them to go to the battlefield to experience and choose the successor from it?"
"Is the matter related to you?" Liu Yu said, "You also want to be the emperor?"
"Will anyone accept me even if I become an emperor?" Su Yan was a little self-aware, "But my elder brothers have all my belongings. Even my adult elder brothers were assigned errands, but I didn't have my own share, so I was anxious. How could I say, if I can make a contribution this time, my father can look at me differently, and maybe I will be restored to my prince's identity. Master, think of a way for me to see if I can't, let my father ask me to lead the army?"
