The aroma of the dishes was overflowing. Liu Yang was holding the bowl quickly and eating his dinner in silence, but his eyes were always paying attention to the scene in the palace.
I saw Liu Wenhuan kneeling with his head down, stubbornness written all over his forehead, while Concubine Zhao stood there with a serious look on her face and scolded: "How can you agree to go to Anxi casually? Do you know how far it is? Do you know how far it is?
How much hardship will you have to endure? Why don't you think more about it, even if you ask your father to help you with a few things..."
"The imperial grandfather gave an order, how can I refuse, otherwise it would be disobeying the emperor's order?" Liu Wenhuan, probably annoyed by Concubine Zhao's words, raised his head and retorted.
"Your grandfather was joking with you..."
"The Emperor has no jokes!" Liu Wenhuan said seriously. When he said this, Liu Wenhuan couldn't help but picture Emperor Liu's majestic and inviolable appearance in his mind. That kind of strong authority was both fearful and desirable.
Seeing Liu Wenhuan's disobedience, Concubine Zhao became even more angry. Just as she was about to speak, Liu Yang finally reacted. She put down the bowl in her hand forcefully, and the sound of the bowl colliding suddenly attracted the attention of the mother and son in the dispute.
Liu Yang's eyes wandered around the mother and son twice, then looked at Concubine Zhao, and said calmly: "Okay! I can't even have a peaceful dinner!
If you haven't trained enough, you can go back to your dormitory to continue. In Hongde Hall, I don't know whether you are training Wenhuan or you are training me!"
Hearing what Liu Yang said and noticing his gloomy face, Concubine Zhao knew that her behavior had offended the prince. She bent her graceful figure and apologized: "I was in a hurry, and my words were offensive, and I offended His Highness.
Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Hearing this, Liu Yang stared at him: "If I hadn't realized how much you love your son, do you think I would have let you indulge in filial piety in the palace?"
Liu Yang's calm words were full of majesty, which was very different from his usual gentleness. Concubine Zhao felt it and subconsciously restrained herself, not daring to stab her at will.
"Wen Huan, get up!" His eyes turned to Liu Wenhuan, Liu Yang waved to him, and even showed a smile of approval on his face: "You performed well in Chui Gong Hall today!"
Hearing his father's praise, a smile suddenly appeared on Liu Wenhuan's young face. He quickly stood up and bowed to Liu Yang: "My son is just following my father's daily teachings!"
Concubine Zhao had calmed down, but when she saw that Liu Yang was still praising Liu Wenhuan, she still couldn't help but worry in her heart and said: "Wenhuan has never even been out of the capital for so many years, let alone Anxi? Anxi is so far away and there is a war, so what?
He can go!"
Liu Yang obviously didn't like hearing this, and immediately refuted: "Why can't you go to the land of the Han Dynasty? As a descendant of the Han royal family, is there any reason to be afraid of difficulties and distances? So many soldiers are fighting against foreign traitors in Suiye
, in a bloody battlefield, you only asked him to escort a batch of supplies, and you are complaining like this!"
Concubine Zhao said: "He is not yet sixteen years old, so he is too young to be in trouble!"
"Aspirations don't lie in your youth!" Liu Yang said calmly: "Your Majesty is sixteen years old and has already joined the army and commanded soldiers! My sixth brother is sixteen years old and has already expedition into the desert and sailed thousands of miles across the sea! Even our brothers are ten years old.
In the past, I have accompanied His Majesty on many tours and on battlefields. Compared with these, Wen Huan is sixteen years old. Don't you feel ashamed that you are still protecting him like this?
Being raised in a deep palace is not a good thing for him. He can go out to practice and practice. This is a good opportunity. If you can handle things, you will be successful in the future!"
After preaching, Liu Yang looked at Liu Wenhuan again and said earnestly: "Thousands of miles of walking will be an assessment for you. Don't let your grandfather and me down!"
Seeing Liu Yang's solemn words, Liu Wenhuan's expression became extremely serious, his face tightened, and he bowed his hands and said: "Yes!"
Concubine Zhao seemed to have something to say, but Liu Yang didn't want to listen anymore, and said to him indifferently: "Do you think His Majesty is just joking? If you didn't want to cultivate him, why would you mention this matter specifically? This kindness
Work hard and experience it more!"
Although Concubine Zhao was caring and caring, she was not without wisdom. After listening to Liu Yang's explanation, she couldn't help but look at each other with Liu Wenhuan, and she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.
"Your Highness's teachings, I will bear them in mind!" Concubine Zhao respectfully bowed to Liu Yang.
Liu Yang looked uninterested and waved to her: "We are going to leave in the next two days. You, mother and son, should go back and talk about what you need to care about and what you need to explain!"
"yes!"
After Concubine Zhao led Liu Wenhuan to retreat, Liu Yang's face was quickly covered with a look of exhaustion. He had to say that in his eyes, Concubine Zhao no longer looked as gentle and virtuous as she did in the past.
The fight between the two concubines also annoyed him greatly.
Like Emperor Liu, he still loved Wenhuan and Liu Yang very much. After all, he was his eldest son. When the heirs were in trouble, Liu Wenhuan's birth had special significance to Liu Yang. Because of this special feeling, Liu Yang
Yang subconsciously had deep expectations for Liu Wenhuan.
After so many years, special attention has been paid to his training and learning, and Liu Wenhuan's performance has not disappointed Liu Yang. At least he has the most basic qualities of a royal child.
Although Liu Yang sometimes felt conflicted about the distinction between legitimate son and concubine, it was only after the birth of his legitimate son. Before that, Liu Yang obviously had high hopes for Liu Wenhuan.
But now, with the overt and covert fighting within the East Palace, and the confrontation between the two concubines becoming more and more explicit, Liu Yang's boredom is also increasing. Concubine Zhao's recent behavior has made Liu Yang worried, and then let Liu Wenhuan be raised by her.
Being affected by it will have adverse consequences for Liu Wenhuan's growth.
Therefore, the mother and son were separated, and Liu Wenhuan was allowed to go out and experience some hardships, and see how he would perform without the influence of his mother, and whether he could take on big responsibilities...
In fact, even if there was no escort mission suddenly given by Emperor Liu, Liu Yang planned to arrange some errands for Liu Wenhuan and officially began to hone his son. At present, the life of the royal children of the Han Dynasty is not easy, and they have been subjected to strict training since childhood.
Elite education, with Emperor Liu watching over it, makes easy life non-existent.
Even if they are as carefree as Liu Yun or as absurd as Liu Shu, they have been polished by the two palaces of Wenhua and Wuying for more than ten years. The same is true for Liu Wenhuan's generation. They have never relaxed in education. Every prince, dragon and grandson regardless of personality
No matter what, you have to be honest before enrolling in the adult system.
How Liu Yang got through all the way back then is now planned to be used on Liu Wenhuan. As he said, this is both a temper and a test.
Sitting in the hall, pondering for a long time, Liu Yang raised his head and called out: "Here comes someone!"
"Your Highness!" Wang Yue, the chamberlain, stepped forward quickly, waiting for instructions.
Liu Yang directly instructed: "Pass Murong Yongren, Zhao Defang!"
Zhao Defang is the son of the late Rongguo Duke Zhao Kuangyin, while Murong Yongren has nothing to do with the Crown Princess Murong, but is the eldest son of Murong Chengde, Duke of Luan State. They are all after meritorious service, and are relatives of the emperor. Now they are both civil and military, and they are all serving in the East Palace.
value.
Although Liu Wenhuan needs to be tempered, he cannot completely let it go. After all, it involves military aircraft and is not something to be trifled with. Therefore, it is inevitable and responsible to equip Liu Wenhuan with certain helpers to assist him in completing the escort mission.
Murong Yongren and Zhao Defang were obviously the helpers prepared by Liu Yang for Liu Wenhuan.
It was a cool autumn night. Wearing a robe, Liu Yang wandered around the palace garden with a heavy heart. Unconsciously, he came to the Yuehua Courtyard of Concubine Xiao...
