When Kunming was sleeping, he dismissed the waiters and took away the prince Yang, leaving only one dragon and two phoenixes. Liu Chengyou took off the jade robe, took off his dragon robe, took off his boots, and lay quietly on the queen's phoenix couch. Sisters They both perform their duties and serve.
Her feet were resting on Xiao Fu's jade legs, and Concubine Hui was massaging the emperor with unfamiliar techniques; her head was resting on Da Fu's arms, the fragrance was elegant and pleasant, and when she raised her eyes, she could see the fullness of desire, but it was a pity that Liu Chengyou kept it closed. Eye.
With a smile on Da Fu's lips, he placed Liu Chengyou's head against his belly, feeling the gentle but hot breath, his jade cheeks couldn't help but turn red, and there was an embarrassing moist feeling in this taboo place.
Twisting her hips a little, the queen suppressed Qinian. After all, her sister Hui Fei was still there. She stabilized her mind, carefully moved her hands, and peeled the pear for Liu Chengyou herself. She asked curiously: "What's wrong with Erlang? No." Are you ready to march to the north? I just heard in the palace that you ordered to stop preparations for the journey and urgently summoned civil and military officials to discuss matters. What happened?"
Liu Chengyou still had his eyes closed, and Da Fu's embrace seemed particularly comfortable. Although Xiao Fu's skills were unfamiliar, those small hands seemed to be able to scratch his heart.
When the Queen asked about it, Liu Chengyou responded casually: "There has indeed been an accident in the north. National policies and strategies have changed due to the situation. However, during the military discussion in the palace, the ministers all had their own opinions and their own reasons. I didn't know who to listen to for a while. Got it!"
The doubts in the beautiful eyes were eliminated, and it seemed that Liu Chengyou could feel the annoyance in Liu Chengyou's heart, but a smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, saying: "It seems that Erlang has encountered a problem, I have never seen you hesitate like this! "
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou suddenly opened his eyes, rubbed his head against the queen's breast, and heard a moan...
Shrinking back again, Liu Chengyou looked at the queen's jade face from a bottom-up angle and asked: "My emotions are so obvious?"
Dafu said: "It's almost written on his face. If Erlang doesn't believe it, ask Ermei."
Liu Chengyou looked at Xiao Fu again, and Concubine Hui nodded: "Your Majesty is the master of decisiveness, and this is the first time I have seen you behave like this since I entered the palace."
"What a decisive leader, it is inevitable that there will be moments of indecision!" Liu Chengyou laughed at himself, and then said in a complaining tone: "Those foreign ministers are too much. Even when there is no consensus, they can still be eloquent. Each one should follow his own principles, but this will cause the lord to be annoyed and embarrassed."
Hearing what the emperor said, Queen Dafu couldn't help but feel happy, and her chest trembled: "Erlang is blaming others too much. I have heard that a wise king will take all the lessons from others and choose the good ones. How to make a decision?" Your Majesty."
"You saw it!" Liu Chengyou said.
"I believe that with Erlang's wisdom, he will make the wisest decision!" Da Fu's tone was full of confidence in Liu Chengyou.
"Are you so confident in me?" Liu Chengyou asked.
The queen lowered her head and replied seriously: "Of course."
"When the interruptions continue, I will suffer the chaos, but there is not much time for me to hesitate!" Liu Chengyou got up from the couch, sat cross-legged, and murmured.
"Erlang, let's have a pear!" Dafu gracefully held a peeled pear between his two fingers and handed it to Liu Chengyou.
Liu Chengyou took it, took a bite, and asked, "Is this a pear?"
"Yes!" Dafu responded: "They are crisp pears produced in Bagong Mountain in Shouzhou. It is said that they are quite famous in the Huainan area. They are purchased by the people in the palace!"
"Bagong Mountain also produces crisp pears? I only know that its purple gold inkstone is very famous, and there is a unique piece in Chongzheng Hall!"
"Shouzhou, the hometown of culture, outstanding people, and an important town in Huainan..." Liu Chengyou stared at the missing piece of pear in his hand, and said meaningfully: "This Shouzhou pear really tastes good!"
Liu Chengyou also took a nap in Kunming Hall and left the hall in the evening. Because he did not spend much time, his steps were very steady.
Without riding in the chariot sedan, Liu Chengyou suddenly said, "If Guo Rong and Zhao Kuangyin were in Tokyo, I would like to hear their opinions and how they would make a choice!"
Following closely, Zhang Dejun heard this and couldn't help but said: "Why don't the officials call them back to Beijing?"
"How come this is too late!" Liu Chengyou looked at Zhang Dejun: "Where has your usual agility gone? Can't you see the military emergency?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dejun said sarcastically: "You are so stupid, how can you know the general strategy of military affairs?"
Liu Chengyou didn't take Zhang Dejun's caution seriously either. Only by being smarter could he live longer.
Liu Chengyou thought of Guo Rong and Zhao Kuangyin, but it was because they both had "imperial looks", and it was just a thought that crossed his mind. As he walked, he stopped and stood under the palace platform. Liu Chengyou suddenly thought that in Tokyo , but there is another one who has "imperial potential".
"Zhang Dejun!" Liu Chengyou called.

"Here! What are your orders from the officials?" Zhang Dejun was shocked by the emperor's sudden order and hurriedly listened.
"Call Zhang Yongde and go to the Duke of Xing's Mansion with me!" Liu Chengyou ordered.
"Your Majesty is going out of the palace? I'll give you the order and get ready to drive!" Zhang Dejun said immediately after hearing the order.
"Whatever you want, Luan Jia, call a team of guards, dress lightly and travel lightly!"
...
The middle gate of Duke Xing's mansion is a simple scene except for the large and majestic plaque.
In the evening, the servants in the mansion were busy preparing dinner. Although it was a high-ranking palace, it had a bit more human touch.
In the back garden, Guo Wei, who was recuperating at home, was smiling and teasing his new son, who was born in the autumn of the third year of Qianyou's reign. He was already over a year old. In Guo Wei's arms, he was babbling. The son he had received in his old age, Guo Wei was his own son. Extremely fond of it.
After seven or eight months of layoff, Guo Wei's overall mental state is not bad, and he looks more and more healthy. The gray on his temples has not increased much, and his body still looks strong. He has not suffered as much damage as in the original history, so he should be able to live longer. several years.
Guo Wei was very surprised when he learned from the steward of the mansion that the emperor was coming. Doubts flashed through his old eyes. Guo Wei put away his fatherly face and handed the young son to the wet nurse. He immediately went back to his room to change his clothes and tidy up his appearance. He also ordered his family to prepare to pick him up. However, he was told that there was no need to make any big noise, and the emperor had come in a low-key manner and had already arrived at the palace.
In the main hall of the palace, Guo Wei and his family paid homage, and was helped up by Liu Chengyou himself.
"Why bother your Majesty to come in person? I can't meet you in time, please forgive me!" Guo Wei complained.
Liu Chengyou's attitude toward Guo Wei at this time was particularly friendly. He chuckled and said, "My uninvited guest has surprised your house. Guo Qing, please don't blame me!"
"How dare you, veteran!" Guo Wei personally greeted Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty, please take a seat!"
Without refusing, he sat down directly on the seat and his eyes fell on the young Guo Wei family. The two beautiful ladies with graceful manners and dignified manners are his current wives and concubines, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Dong.
Speaking of Guo Wei, the second half of his life can be described as "promoted, made rich, died of his wife". First, his first wife, Mrs. Chai, died. After Mrs. Chai's death, her step-mother, Mrs. Yang, also died in Taiyuan a few years ago.
During the rise of the Han Dynasty, when Guo Wei entered the Central Plains, he asked to marry the Zhang family and the Dong family. What is interesting is that the four wives of Guo Wei, except for his first wife, the Chai family, were all widows. He praised a "wife Guo". It’s not too much. The key is that she has a good taste. Yang, Zhang, and Dong are all beautiful and mature women, with good charm, good moral character, and good fortune...
Of course, in Guo Mansion, Liu Chengyou did not pay attention to Guo Wei's wives and concubines. Instead, he focused on Guo Wei's little son who was lying quietly in his wet nurse's arms.
Noticing Liu Chengyou's gaze, Guo Wei took the initiative to introduce him: "This little boy was born last year, and he will be named Brother Fu for the time being."
Except for Guo Rong, Guo Wei's other two sons have already married and established careers. One is a foreign minister in the Ministry of War, and the other is a magistrate in Caizhou. They are young and have a smooth career.
Liu Chengyou stood up, took off a piece of yellow-patterned jade pendant hanging on his waist, gently put it into the children's blessing clothes, and said with a smile: "Guo Qing, this is called having many children and many blessings. This jade pendant should be regarded as my late gift." , as this son is older, he may be able to enter the palace and study with the prince!"
Liu Chengyou said it casually, but Guo Wei took it seriously and thanked him: "On my behalf, I would like to thank your majesty for your kindness."
Waving his hand, Liu Chengyou touched his belly and said to Guo Wei with a smile: "While I was still outside the house, I saw smoke rising from the house. I came here on an empty stomach!"
Seeing the emperor's friendly attitude, Guo Wei was even more flattered and immediately said: "I will prepare a meal immediately and add some wine and food. Your Majesty, please don't dislike the poor food in my house!"
"Don't bother me. I haven't had barbecue for a long time. Let's set up a table in the courtyard, put some pork and mutton, and prepare spices. You and I, the king and my ministers, can drink and barbecue while chatting about the world. How about it?" Liu Chengyou looked very interested. appearance.
Seeing this, Guo Wei cupped his hands and said: "Since Your Majesty is so elegant, I will take care of you."
The weather in late autumn is already a little cold, and with the strong wind, the fallen leaves are blown back and the lake is rippled. Next to the quiet lake in the back garden of Guo Mansion, two grills are set up, and the wine and meat are ready. Guo Wei's wife Zhang personally grilled the meat, while Zhang Dejun led others to inspect the meat. The emperor still had to be careful when eating.
Under the crescent moon, in the garden, people were roasting on the fire, eating meat, drinking wine, and chatting, but it had a different feeling.
"Guo Qing has been recuperating in the mansion for nearly eight months. Now that he can drink so much, I guess he is almost recovering from his illness!" Liu Chengyou suddenly expressed concern after having another drink with Guo Wei.
After hearing the question, Guo Wei paused with his cup to his lips and glanced at Liu Chengyou, but saw that he was staring at the roast mutton that Zhang had cut into the plate seriously. After taking a sip of wine, Guo Wei thought for a while and responded: "Thank you." Your Majesty is concerned that your illness is an old one. I was injured secretly on the battlefield and I am afraid it will be difficult to recover."
"Then drink less of this wine!"
"I came from a battlefield background, so I always have this hobby, and my family often advises..."
"With Guo Qing's contribution and talent, it must be very difficult to be idle at home for so long." Liu Chengyou's tone was still so friendly.
Guo Wei had an open-minded look on his face: "I am at home, and without the hassles of military affairs, I can not only take care of my health, but also entertain my grandchildren and enjoy family relationships. I feel quite relaxed!"
Liu Chengyou didn't really believe Guo Wei's words. He didn't find it interesting to chat like this. His eyes wandered for a moment and he suddenly looked directly at him: "I won't beat around the bush with Guo Qing. Since the founding of the country, Guo Qing has been adhering to the principle of In terms of military affairs, at the beginning of the year I divided the power of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, does Guo Qing have no resentment at all in his heart?"
Liu Chengyou's gaze at this time was a little sharp, reflecting the firelight, and a little bright. Being stared at by him like this, the smile on Guo Wei's face slowly faded, and his eyelids drooped, thinking about how to answer this question. If he directly said that he had no resentment, Don't talk about Liu Chengyou, even he himself doesn't believe it, unless he is a saint...
With only a slight twist of his mind, Guo Wei showed his usual sincere smile: "The country was first established, and the economic structure was not yet complete. It is normal for various departments and offices to make some adjustments and gain or loss. Your Majesty is determined to act and has made some reforms. , which is also understandable.”
Hearing his answer, Liu Chengyou couldn't help laughing a few times, took a sip of light wine, and said with restraint, "I am here to bring a good medicine to Guo Qing!"
